Hey there! I noticed you reverted some pretty big edits recently, but you didn't give a reason in the notes. You're not in trouble or anything; I'm just curious. [[User:Welkamo|Welkamo]] ([[User talk:Welkamo|talk]]) 23:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

:Sorry for extremely late reply. I just didn't know what i was doing at that time. [[User:Er must|Er must]] ([[User talk:Er must|talk]]) 12:54, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

== Why is it notable to list which trainers use a Gengar? ==

We don’t do it for any other Pokèmon which is why I don’t think it’s notable. [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 12:29, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:We do. Check {{p|Arbok}} or {{p|Fearow}}, for example. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 13:56, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
::How many Pokèmon in total is this and why don’t {{p|Gyarados}} or {{p|Milotic}} get a section for example when they’re used by [[Juan|Gym Leader]]s and [[Wallace|Champions]]s? [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 16:10, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:::There's are also lists on which trainers use {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Raichu}} or {{p|Garchomp}} on there pages for exemple. [[User:Er must|Er must]] ([[User talk:Er must|talk]]) 16:38, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:::The claim was "we don't do this, I've proven that we do. Unless it's established that these truly don't belong there, I would argue we should do this with every species, or at least thoe individual Pokémon that have their own articles (Like [[Whitney's Miltank]]. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 16:43, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Raichu didn’t get a section, and why should these Pokèmon get a section while Pokèmon used by Gym Leaders and Champions such as {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Alakazam}} do not get one? [[User:Pikmin3WiiU|Pikmin 3]] [[User talk:Pikmin3WiiU|Wii U]] 17:34, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::Historically, the NPC appearances section has just been for instances where a Pokémon appears as an autonomous individual (i.e., not owned by a Trainer) but also isn't a player character. Based on the page histories, the lists of NPC Trainers who use the species were added in NPC appearances within the last few months by a couple individual users, so that's why other Pokémon don't have these sections - there wasn't a coordinated effort to add those sections for every Pokémon.
:::::However, just because we haven't done something in the past doesn't mean it's not notable. There are some games, like DPPt and B2W2, that reward the player for just seeing every Pokémon in the Pokédex, so knowing who uses a species can help players achieve that. It's also just interesting to see when unrelated characters use the same species. There was [[Project Snorlax#The Confronting Snorlax|a social media campaign]] a couple years back where they released artwork of major characters using Snorlax, with a new piece each day, and knowing what major characters used Snorlax made it fun to guess who the next day's artwork would feature. So I think it's worth adding that information to species pages. According to [[Bulbapedia:Project Pokédex/Structure]], the NPC appearances section is for "Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught", so Pokémon owned by NPCs fit perfectly in that section. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 17:52, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::And all of these should get their own too, instead of removing it before the previous editor has the chance to reply. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 18:11, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

Gengar has two [[#Form data|forms]]:
*It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
*It can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Gengar''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
[[File:094Gengar Dream 5.png|thumb|left|120px|Gengar extending its tongue]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes, and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. Its body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}, cooling the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C) by absorbing its warmth. It is shown in {{aniseries|PTS}} that Gengar can fly,<ref>''[[EP023|The Screen Actor's Guilt]]''</ref> turn intangible,<ref>''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]''</ref> possess people<ref>''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''</ref> and other Pokémon, create illusions<ref>''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''</ref>, pass through dimensions,<ref>[[JN011|''Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!'']]</ref> and extend its tongue by several meters.<ref>''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''</ref> In certain media, such as [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]] and the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], it is also able to create copies of itself. Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow during a full moon, then behaving erratically, or attacking people who get lost in the mountains. When the quarry notices, Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, it has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. It waits in people's shadows or the dark areas of their homes before stealing their life force. This is because it was once a [[human]] and wishes for a traveling companion. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gengar is known to sleep deeply while hiding in the shadow of a target it plans to curse.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was Gengar's [[signature move]].

===Forms===
Gengar has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar and [[Gigantamax]] Gengar.

====Mega Gengar====
As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground, and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Gengar Mega Gengar | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Gengar archived])</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. It has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey, and its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Gengar desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. It sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack; this power allows it to appear anywhere it wants to be. Mega Gengar caused an incident one time where it had one of its legs stick out of a wall.

===Gigantamax Gengar===
As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple, and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body, but the afterlife instead due to its cursed energy. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.

Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

===Evolution===
Gengar [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} and is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all have a Gengar:
**[[Agatha]] owns two Gengar in all {{pkmn|battle}}s against the player.
**{{ga|Silver}} owns a {{p|Gastly}} in all [[Johto]]-based titles. It will eventually evolve into a {{p|Haunter}} and then a Gengar.
**[[Morty]]'s main partner is Gengar and owns one in all fights against the player. In his initial fights in [[Generation II]] and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, he only has one and gains a second in the rematching in the [[Fighting Dojo]]. It can be assumed one of his {{p|Haunter}} had evolved.
**In initial fights, [[Karen]] will use a Gengar in Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSIlver
**[[Fantina]] owns a Gengar in all [[Sinnoh]]-based titles. In {{g|Platinum}} Gengar is not seen until rematches, implying her Haunter had evolved.
**[[Mira]] uses a Gengar in the [[Sinnoh]] [[Battle Tower]] and Platinum's [[Battleground]].
**[[Shauntal]] obtains a Gengar in {{g|Black 2 and White 2}}'s Challenge Mode.
**While defending [[Alola Pokémon League|your title]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], [[Plumeria]] is seen to have obtained a Gengar. In the [[Battle Tree]] she may continue to use this Gengar where it can [[Mega Evolve]].
**In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[Allister]] owns a Gengar in all battles against the player. This Gengar will [[Dynamax]] into [[Gigantamax]] Gengar.
**As a parallel to Agatha, [[Charm (Hisui)|Charm]] also uses a Gengar.
**Starting with her second battle, [[Gwynn]] will use a Gengar in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
*In Legends: Z-A, during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Mission 20: A Request from the Rust Syndicate]], the player is required to battle two Gengar to clear an old building for Gänger to live in. One Gengar remains and he decides to live with said Gengar. Side Mission 118: Goodbye, Gengar, focuses on this Gengar, who appears to have gone missing. After looking for Gengar with Gwynn, Gänger decides to leave the situation alone knowing Gengar is no where to be found. Gänger reunites with Gengar after the side mission.

====In the spin-off games====
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar appears and must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters plaguing the world. However, it is later revealed that he is the actual cursed [[human]], having been cursed by {{p|Ninetales}} to be reborn as a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. After {{p|Rayquaza}} destroys the meteor heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}}. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', it joined the rest of [[Alola]] in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

==Trivia==

* In the English [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom", which is also its Korean name (팬텀 ''Phantom'').
* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The reason for this is that he finds Gengar to be the easiest Pokémon to draw.<ref name=Pokémon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref>
* Despite Gengar and its evolutionary relatives all being part {{type|Poison}}, none of them were able to learn any Poison-type moves by [[level]]ing up until {{LGPE}}.
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in {{aniseries|PTS}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first TV episode]] was based on, as well as the Red and Green [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Gengar was the only Pokémon included in the [[game credits|credits]] that did not appear in the credits of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}} that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* When viewing [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar's [[Pokédex entry]], the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, require trading to reach their final stage of Evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, can both be obtained through [[trade Evolution|Evolution induced by trade]], and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. A glitch in [[Pokémon GO]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of both Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not one of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]].
* Gengar is the only Ghost-type Pokémon with a Gigantamax form.
* Mega Gengar is immune to {{m|Telekinesis}}. This trait is shared with {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Sandygast}}, and {{p|Palossand}}.
** In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Snorlax}} for the most Pokédex entries in ''Pokémon the Series'', with a total of 7.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.

===Design variations===
Gengar's {{Shiny}} coloration is inconsistent between official media.
* In the [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games as well as several [[side series]] games, Shiny Gengar has a dark, near-black, purple coloration with bright magenta eyes, as seen in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* In the [[core series]] games, {{g|HOME}}, {{g|GO}}, and {{g|Sleep}}, Shiny Gengar has a dull purple coloration with reddish pink eyes.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, {{g|Duel}}, and the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Shiny Gengar has a lighter, bluer coloration with reddish eyes.

===Concept and development===
Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref>

===Origin===

Gengar appears to be based on a {{wp|ghost}}. Its evolutionary line appears to depict a ghost crossing from the afterlife into the living world, with Gengar representing one that successfully broke through. This is further supported by Mega Gengar and Gigantamax Gengar, which can create portals to other dimensions and the afterlife, respectively.

Gengar's many abilities revolving around shadows, as well as its [[Pokémon category]], may also suggest it is partially based on {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}. Both its Japanese and English name may also hint at it also possibly being inspired by certain ghostly beings, such as the {{wp|Gjenganger|genganger}}, {{wp|wiedergänger}}, or {{wp|doppelgänger}}s. Both of Gengar's types and shadow themes may be based on a {{wp|Ikiryō|生霊 ikiryō}}, specifically the doppelgänger-like ones caused by a paranormal illness called ''{{wp|Ikiryō#Ikiryō_as_an_illness|影の病 kage no yamai}}'' (lit. shadow sickness).

Due to its horn-like ears, large teeth, and dark nature, Gengar may also be loosely based on a {{wp|oni}} or oni masks. Oni sometimes have a third eye in the center of their forehead, which could be the reason for that detail in [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar. Gengar may also be loosely inspired by the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, as it possesses pointed ears, a wide toothy grin, and the ability to vanish at will.

Gigantamax Gengar may be based on popular depictions of mouth-shaped entryways found in carnivals and amusement park rides, often horror-themed ones. Its huge mouth acting as a portal to the afterlife also hints that it may be based on a {{wp|Hellmouth}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar may come from ''-ganger'' or ''-gänger'' (walker), as found in ''genganger'' or ''wiedergänger'' (types of {{wp|revenant}}s), or ''doppelgänger'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm).

'''Vaporeon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャワーズ''' ''Showers'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]]. It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Galea Vaporeon Acid Armor.png|left|thumb|200px|A Vaporeon melting into water molecules]]
Vaporeon is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals. Its body is light blue with a dark blue marking around its head and a spiky ridge down its spine. It has black eyes and a tiny black nose. There is a white fin encircling its neck and three fins with cream-colored webbing on its head. Two of these fins are on either side of its head, similar to ears; and one is directly on top of its head, resembling a {{wp|dorsal fin}}. Vaporeon is a quadruped with three small toes on each foot and dark blue paw pads on the hind feet.

A spontaneous mutation caused {{p|Eevee}} to grow fins and gills to become better suited to an aquatic lifestyle. Vaporeon lives close to clear waters and is often found quietly resting by its preferred habitats, which are beautiful and clean freshwater lakes and shores, though it has also been observed in coastal ocean waters near [[Maricopia Reef|coral reefs]] and blue holes. It is mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban settings}} under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Vaporeon's split tail fin, which is used for swimming, has been mistaken for a mermaid's in the past and is believed to be the origin of mermaid folklore. It freely controls water and can {{m|Acid Armor|melt into it}} to become invisible thanks to its cell structure being similar to water molecules. As a result, it can remain camouflaged while swimming to ambush its prey, which consists of fish Pokémon. Vaporeon can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when it senses incoming rain.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Vaporeon is the heaviest [[Eeveelution]].
* Vaporeon is the only {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears in the [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location#Field|field section]] of [[Pal Park]].
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Vaporeon is programmed to learn both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mist}} at level 42; however, a bug prevents a Pokémon from learning more than one move at the same level when leveled up outside of the [[Pokémon Day Care]], so Vaporeon can only learn Mist if it reaches level 42 in the Day Care.
* In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD}}, Vaporeon possesses a snow-like visual effect surrounding its body in battle. No other Pokémon in the series has this effect.
* Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution that does not share any weakness with another Eeveelution.
* In English, Vaporeon is the only Eeveelution whose name contains four syllables instead of three.

===Design variations===
In some [[Generation I]] sprites, Vaporeon had a notably different design, with the backs of its ears being all black, fins on each leg, and a fin running down the entire length of its back. It also had a more protuberant snout, giving it a more dog-like appearance. All of these details were removed in [[Generation II]]. Notably, these details weren't present in its original {{game|Red and Green|s}} artwork.

===Concept and development===
Vaporeon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=EVs>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/atsuko_nishida/status/783643367523557376 Tweet by AtsukoNishida (@atsuko_nishida).] Posted on October 5, 2016.</ref>

===Origin===
According to Atsuko Nishida, Vaporeon and especially its tail were designed with the idea of {{wp|mermaid}}s in mind.<ref name=EVs/> Additionally, Nishida had originally designed Vaporeon to have primarily {{wp|Canidae|canine}} traits, but Ken Sugimori redesigned Vaporeon to have more {{wp|Felidae|feline}} traits.<ref name=EVs/>

Due to its aquatic motif, it also seems to have elements of {{wp|fish}} and {{wp|Cetacea|cetaceans}}. It may also involve a pun on {{wp|catfish}}. Similarly, it may also draw some inspiration from {{wp|List of aquatic humanoids|fish people}} in general, often represented in popular culture as having fins for ears and green or blue skin. The ability to become invisible and turn into water might be inspired by some water {{wp|fairies}}, such as the {{wp|asrai}}.

Vaporeon's chimeric aspect of having a fish tail is similar to many legendary creatures, such as the {{wp|sea goat}} and the {{wp|Hippocampus (mythology)|hippocamp}}. Noticeably, due to the fringe around its neck resembling a {{wp|ruff (clothing)|ruff}} and a {{wp|lion}}'s mane, Vaporeon also shares similarities with the heraldic {{wp|sea-lion}} or the similar-looking {{wp|Merlion}}.

====Name origin====
Vaporeon may be a combination of ''{{wp|vapor}}'' and ''[[Wiktionary:eon#Noun|eon]]'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long {{wp|evolution}} takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all {{p|Eevee}} [[Evolution]]s share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Showers corresponds to the English noun ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Noun|shower]]'' (plural ''showers''), plausibly referring to {{wp|Shower (precipitation)|rain}} or the bathroom {{wp|shower}}, as well as the verb ''[[Wiktionary:shower#Verb|shower]]'' (third-person singular simple present ''showers''), meaning either to spray with water or to use a shower.

'''Grant''' (Japanese: '''ザクロ''' ''Zakuro'') is an {{wp|athlete}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cyllage City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cyllage Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Cliff}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Grant Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Grant about to battle the player]]
Grant appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a Gym Leader. Trainers who defeat Grant will receive the {{badge|Cliff}}, along with {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}. He excels at a variety of sports, such as bike racing and mountain climbing. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'', he is a trendsetter and very fashionable, with his hairstyle of rolling stones apparently being popular with young people. It also states that he cuts down on his eating to keep his weight down, but appears to miss the opportunity to eat sweets because of this.

He has affinity towards [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] as evident from his teams in main series games.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Grant debuted in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him at the [[Battle Chateau]]. He was promoted to the {{tc|Grand Duke}} rank after his {{p|Onix}} won a battle against [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}. He was initially described as a "strong" Trainer, but he later revealed that he was actually the [[Cyllage City]] [[Gym Leader]], making Ash even more excited about his upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with him.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Grant accepted Ash's Gym challenge after the latter arrived at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, he allowed Ash to use his entire team (three Pokémon) against him while he would only be using two Pokémon. After some hard battles, Ash emerged victorious and Grant awarded him the {{Badge|Cliff}}, telling Ash that he would like to battle him at the [[Battle Chateau]] sometime.

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', when Ash was talking to [[Everett]] about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in [[Kalos]] for him to be able to compete in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Grant was seen in the [[Kalos Canyon]], watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Grant and Tyrunt were among those who helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====Character====
Grant cannot resist scaling walls, including the wall of the historic [[Battle Chateau]], simply for the challenge that climbing offers. He has built the [[Cyllage Gym]] with his rock-climbing hobby in mind, and readily challenges his opponents to scale the difficult rock walls up to the battlefield to test them. Grant believes that rock climbing offers a person, quite literally, a different perspective and access to a state of {{wp|enlightenment}}. He draws on his clarity of mind for strength and concentration during his [[Gym]] battles. He considers his team of {{t|Rock}} Pokémon to be what he refers to as a "wall", or a difficult challenge to overcome, using their incredible jumping abilities and {{m|Rock Tomb}} to truly test his opponents.

Grant is good friends and has a rivalry with [[Viola]], the [[Santalune City]] [[Gym Leader]].

|vaen=Unshō Ishizuka
|desc={{p|Onix}} is Grant's first known Pokémon, which he used in a battle against [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]. Despite Surskit creating its signature ice battlefield to aid its speed, Onix was able to turn the tables on the Pond Skater Pokémon by using its masterful control of Rock Tomb to trap it and Rock Polish to increase its speed, keeping Surskit on the defensive. Eventually, Onix ended the battle by using its powerful Flash Cannon to knock Surskit out. It was seen in flashbacks in ''[[XY021|A PokeVision of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''.

Onix reappeared in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'' as the first Pokémon Grant used in his Gym battle against {{Ash}}; it went up against {{AP|Froakie}}. Onix attempted to keep up with the Bubble Frog Pokémon, but Froakie's speed, in combination with {{m|Double Team}}, confused Onix. This left it open to attacks, which eventually allowed Froakie to knock it out with {{m|Water Pulse}}.

Onix's known moves are {{m|Rock Tomb}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}}, {{m|Rock Polish}}, and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

|desc={{p|Tyrunt}} was the second Pokémon used by Grant in his Gym Battle against Ash. Tyrunt, unlike Froakie, was quick, and while Froakie was able to dodge Rock Tomb, it was easily overpowered by Tyrunt's Draco Meteor. Tyrunt next went up against {{AP|Fletchling}} and managed to knock it out easily (but not before taking damage from a supereffective {{m|Steel Wing}}).

Finally, Tyrunt went up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was able to dodge Tyrunt's attacks and even used the projectiles from Draco Meteor for momentum before managing to wedge a rock in Tyrunt's mouth and finally knocking it out with a direct hit from {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

It appeared again in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where it helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

Tyrunt's known moves are {{m|Rock Tomb}}, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Crunch}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}.}}

===GOTCHA!===
Grant briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Grant Clemont Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Grant in Pokémon Adventures]]
Grant debuted in ''[[PS563|Charging After Electrike]]''. He was first seen in [[Cyllage City]], helping [[Clemont]] find {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to power the [[Prism Tower]] during a blackout. After witnessing {{kal|Grace}}, a famous {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer, being found and taken away by several {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, the two were left wondering what happened. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Grant found the Cycling Road in ruins after a helicopter was forced to make a crash landing. He got into an argument with the pilot, [[Cassius]], but eventually calmed down after Cassius agreed to pay for the damages.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Grant arrived in [[Laverre City]] alongside [[Valerie]] and [[Olympia]] to visit [[Korrina]], who was recuperating from injuries she sustained in a battle with [[Team Flare]]. They soon left to have a meeting with the other [[Kalos]] Gym Leaders to decide on how to deal with Team Flare. In ''[[PS579|Pyroar Breathes]]'', {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} joined the Gym Leaders and traveled to [[Geosenge Town]] to confront Team Flare. Shortly after they arrived, the group witnessed the [[ultimate weapon]] emerging from underground like a flower bud. To prevent the weapon from blooming, the Gym Leaders and Y used their bodies to keep the petals in place by force but were met with interference by [[Bryony]]. The ultimate weapon eventually fired anyway, but the combined efforts of the Gym Leaders and their allies successfully weakened the weapon enough to make it unable to take any innocent lives. Using her newly-obtained {{p|Xerneas}}, [[Xerxer]], Y tried to destroy the ultimate weapon, but was interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, [[Xerosic]] announced that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', [[Ramos]] revealed that Team Flare blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children. {{adv|X}} and his friends were advised to keep out of the public's eye while the Gym Leaders helped rebuild the damaged areas. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Grant, Ramos, Valerie, Olympia, and [[Wulfric]] helped stop Team Flare's attempt to reactivate the ultimate weapon by defeating a group of Grunts that were stationed around Cyllage City. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Grant and his allies met with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory.

==In the TCG==
[[File:GrantAstralRadiance185.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Grant]]
{{main|Grant (Astral Radiance 144)}}
'''Grant''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Space Juggler}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Astral Radiance}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by [[Hideki Ishikawa]]. It allows the player's {{TCG|Fighting}} Pokémon to do 30 more damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon during the turn. Additionally, if it is in the player's discard pile, they can discard two other cards to return it to their hand.

==Trivia==
* Grant's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|ワイルド　マイルド　ロッククライマー|Wild, mild rock climber}}.
* Grant is the only [[Kalos]] Gym Leader who does not use a fully evolved Pokémon outside of the [[Battle Chateau]].
** In the games, Grant is also the only Kalos Gym Leader who doesn't use a Pokémon introduced before [[Generation VI]].
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Grant made his debut exactly five (aired) episodes before his Gym battle against {{Ash}}, with the aforementioned Gym battle episode being the first to have its air date moved forward due to the postponement of [[XY024|the episode intended to air before it]]. Coincidentally, Grant shares this trait with [[Burgh]].
* Grant is the only single Gym Leader who uses Pokémon with identical [[level]]s in a Gym battle.
* Grant shares his Italian name with [[Wally]]: they both go by the name of Lino.
* Grant is the first {{type|Rock}} [[Gym Leader]] to not be [[battle]]d first in a [[region]].

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

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

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

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

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

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant along with a nutritious diet. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions and can heal the [[human]] heart. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead [[Evolution]] ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Venusaur has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.

====Mega Venusaur====
Mega Venusaur's flower grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

Mega Venusaur's legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower, and its increased defenses allow it to withstand just about any attack.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur Mega Venusaur | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur archived])</ref><ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=in%20the%20game.-,Mega%20Venusaur,-When%20Venusaur%20Mega Mega Venusaur | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> It can create brambles from its flower which can absorb energy from to heal itself, fire a light beam attack after charging, and form a poisonous circle around itself to attack foes.{{fact}}

====Gigantamax Venusaur====
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

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

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

Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone.

In ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'', Venusaur was used to battle the ninja army's Pokémon and was able to defeat a {{p|Gengar}}.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mega Venusaur was one of the ten Mega-Evolved Pokémon that [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} had to defeat. It was Alain's first opponent, putting up a tough match, but was eventually defeated.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s male Venusaur was the third Pokémon he used in his [[Full Battle]] against Ash. He went up against {{AP|Rowlet}}, defeating it before losing to {{AP|Torracat}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Venusaur evolved from Ivysaur after they traveled to a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, which was under construction in [[Vermilion City]], so they could absorb the sunlight needed for the Evolution process.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', a giant robot Venusaur was at [[Pokémon Land]].

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusory Venusaur to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusory {{p|Blastoise}} to create a {{DL|Variant Pokémon|Venustoise}}, which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur to the point where they did not want to battle anymore.

Venusaur made its physical debut in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', a Venusaur sensed the disturbance caused by [[Lawrence III]].

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it uses the move {{m|Earthquake}} (which Venusaur couldn’t learn until [[Generation III]]), which acts similarly to {{smw|Donkey Kong}}'s Down Special. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.

Venusaur is also a part of the stage in [[Poké Floats]]. The front half will push itself onto the screen first will begin to move to the left after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Venusaur is briefly mentioned in Ivysaur's trophy description.

Now, that's got to be intimidating!''
{{-}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using the [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using the [[Mewtwonite Y]].

It is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, which it is associated with, and they are thus collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt, ear-like horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon in existence. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the mansion, destroying it in the process. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Though its DNA is almost the same as Mew's, it is bigger and has a different disposition.

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|caves}} somewhere. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure, [[Talking Pokémon|telepathy]], {{m|Teleport|teleporting}} others to another location, and the creation of powerful, world-destroying storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} can survive in outer space. In [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing the transferred person to gain control of its body and abilities.

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Psystrike}}.

===Shadow Mewtwo===
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Ferrum#Shadow Synergy Stone|Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, Anne was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Ferrum#Synergy Stones|Synergy Stones]], which continuously increases its power.

|}
|
|}

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Mega Shadow Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].

====Mega Mewtwo X====
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from brow-like ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple ridges over its shoulders fusing behind its back as a single, hump-like growth. Its forearms and legs grow much bulkier and gain two protruding ridges resembling veins. Its hands and feet grow bigger, with longer, more prehensile digits. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable boost. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. As revealed in [[Pokkén Tournament]], it can stretch its arms and legs in {{pkmn|battle}}.

=====Mega Shadow Mewtwo X=====
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses both [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Shadow Synergy Burst]] and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

====Mega Mewtwo Y====
Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two.

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X Mega Mewtwo Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X archived])</ref>

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
====In the core series games====
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In {{G|Black 2 and White 2}}, in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], during the downloadable tournament [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Sabrina]] will use a Mewtwo as part of her team.
** [[Giovanni]] uses a Mewtwo in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]]. It will [[Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X in Ultra Sun, or Mega Mewtwo Y in Ultra Moon.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the [[Silver (game)|Rival]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.
** In {{G|Battle Revolution}}, during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.

Similar to the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Mewtwo was created by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]].

It returned in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a [[Poké Ball]], to fight against {{adv|Giovanni}} and his {{adv|Deoxys}}. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} telepathically.

In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Mewtwo reappeared in [[Kalos]], having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of [[Pokémon Village]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a [[Mythical Pokémon]], Mewtwo is classified as a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|animated series}} opening appearances of any Legendary Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several similarities regarding [[Mega Evolution]]. Both were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have two Mega Evolutions instead of one, with their Y Mega Evolutions having been revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their [[type]] in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are {{stat|Special Attack|specially}} oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientist|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the animated series. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first Mega Evolution revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the animated series, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest single base stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* Mewtwo is currently the only Legendary Pokémon in {{g|GO}} to have an [[Event Pokémon (GO)|event-exclusive form]].
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.
* Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are the only Mega Evolutions introduced in [[Generation VI]] that are currently unavailable in Pokémon GO.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some domestic {{wp|cat}} and {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

'''Zamazenta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ザマゼンタ''' ''Zamazenta'') is a {{type|Fighting}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zamazenta has a second {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zamazenta|form}} activated by giving it a [[Rusted Shield]] to hold. Its original form, '''Hero of Many Battles''', will then become the dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} '''Crowned Shield'''.

Zamazenta is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]], appearing on the game's boxart in its Crowned Shield form.

Along with {{p|Zacian}}, Zamazenta is one of the [[legendary heroes]], having played a role in stopping {{p|Eternatus}} during the [[Darkest Day]].

==Biology==
[[File:Zacian Zamazenta dormant.png|thumb|left|250px|Zamazenta's dormant state (left)]]
In its Hero of Many Battles form, Zamazenta is a large magenta lupine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with yellow eyes, a bulky frame, and a ponytail on its head. Its tail and ponytail are a deep blue; it also has deep blue accents on its neck and forelimbs. There are battle scars on its shoulders, hips, side, and eye, which reveal a tan coloration under the red fur. Half of its right ear is also missing. Its head and neck have thick fur resembling a shield.

Zamazenta is believed to be the younger sibling or the rival of {{p|Zacian}}. In the past, it was feared and respected by the people of [[Galar]]. 3000 years ago, it cooperated with [[First kings of Galar|two young]] [[human]]s to save the [[region]] from {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]] it created. Togeth, they defeated the Gigantic Pokémon and forced it back into slumber, which also caused pieces of its body imbued with its power to rain down throughout Galar in the form of [[Wishing Piece]]s and [[Wishing Star]]s. It can also turn itself into a statue and slumber for eons alongside Zacian in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Zamazenta can also cast illusions, including a projection of itself, even while it is dormant. Additionally, it is capable of flying. Even though it is not capable of [[Dynamax]]ing, Zamazenta may still go berserk when bombarded by [[Galar particle]]s. As years passed, both Zamazenta and Zacian were forgotten by history, but [[Sonia|Professor Sonia]] proved their existence by writing her first book: [[Sonia's Book|''Galar: A History'']], which details the discovery she and the [[Player character|player]] had in [[Stow-on-Side]].

Zamazenta is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dauntless Shield}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Zamazenta Behemoth Bash shield.png|thumb|right|250px|Zamazenta's shield transforming while it uses Behemoth Bash]]
Zamazenta has two forms: Hero of Many Battles and Crowned Shield.

Zamazenta can change to its Crowned Shield form in battle by [[Held item|wielding]] the [[Rusted Shield]], during which it absorbs metal particles in the air to form a golden armor over its body and transform its shield into a larger, golden one. Crowned Shield Zamazenta to has set of golden armor covering the front of its body like a shield. Although the side portions normally cover its forelimbs, they slide forward when Zamazenta uses {{m|Behemoth Bash}} or protects itself from frontal attacks more effectively. Its ponytail also grows to cover most of its backside.

Crowned Shield is said to be Zamazenta's true, full power form. It can deflect any attack with the shield that serves as its mane. Along with Crowned Shield Zacian, Zamazenta can negate the mysterious power of [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, which prevents opposing Pokémon from attacking it. Its regal and majestic movements enable it to overwhelm opponents who face off against it. Zamazenta uses its golden shield to fend off attacks and as a weapon. The shield has tremendous strength, capable of withstanding scratches from the sharp claws of {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and attacks from Dynamax Pokémon. Its resolve does not falter, and it charges at its enemies head on. By bashing with its full might, it is said that Zamazenta's power can cause cracks in the land, and that the resulting shockwaves can knock out hundreds of enemies. According to legends, in this form, it was known as the {{t|Fighting}} Master's Shield.

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Behemoth Bash}}. When using this attack, it is said to be able to bore holes through mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zamazenta/ Zamazenta | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
Zamazenta has two forms, Hero of Many Battles and Crowned Shield, which change its appearance, [[stat]]s, [[type]], and [[cry]]. Zamazenta will always be in its Hero of Many Battles form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. In battle, Zamazenta will be in its Crowned Shield form if it holds a [[Rusted Shield]]. In this form, Zamazenta gains {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type and has increased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, at the expense of slightly decreased {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, if Zamazenta knows {{m|Iron Head}}, the move will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Bash}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===

==Trivia==
* Zamazenta shares the same {{pkmn|category}} name with its partner {{p|Zacian}}. They are both known as the Warrior Pokémon.
* Zamazenta, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Eternatus}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that cannot [[Dynamax]].
** Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into Zacian, Zamazenta, or Eternatus will also be unable to Dynamax, such as {{p|Ditto}} or {{p|Mew}}.
* Crowned Shield Zamazenta has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Crowned Shield Zamazenta is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Fighting-type Pokémon.
* Zamazenta and Zacian's Hero of Many Battles forms have the same [[stat]] distribution.

===Origin===
Zamazenta may be based on {{wp|King Arthur}}'s shield, known as {{wp|Excalibur#Arthur's other weapons|Wynebgwrthucher}} or Pridwen. It may also be based on the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}, characters under Arthur's order said to work with him to protect the British kingdom. Its relationship with {{p|Zacian}} may reference the relationship between King Arthur and his sister {{wp|Morgan le Fay}}. It otherwise resembles a {{wp|wolf}}, an animal once native to {{wp|Great Britain}} and an important heraldic symbol for noble families during the {{wp|Middle Ages}}. It also resembles the {{wp|Iron Wolf (character)|Iron Wolf}} of ancient {{wp|Lithuanian mythology}}. The armored plating on Zamazenta is similar to that of a {{wp|barding}}, a form of body armor worn by warhorses during the {{wp|Late Middle Ages}}. Additionally, the shape of its shining shield while using Behemoth Bash may reference {{wp|Sköll}}, a wolf that chases after the Sun in Norse mythology. The story of Zacian and Zamazenta retreating to the [[Slumbering Weald]] to recover from their wounds, as well as their return in the present day to save [[Galar]], is a parallel to the legend of {{wp|King Arthur's messianic return}}.

Zamazenta's [[Rusted Shield|shield]]'s ability to resist any attack, with Zacian's [[Rusted Sword|sword]] being able to cut through anything, could be an example of an {{wp|irresistible force paradox}}. One of the most famous examples of this in folklore includes the Chinese tale of a peddler selling a spear and a shield with similar properties, only to be asked what would happen if the two items were to be used against one another. Another example tells of the Greek hunting hound {{wp|Laelaps (mythology)|Laelaps}}, which always caught its prey, being set upon {{wp|Teumessian fox}}, which could never be caught, and had to be turned into constellations to prevent the paradox.

====Name origin====
Zamazenta is derived from ''the magenta''.<ref>Shea, Brian (November 13, 2019). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20211018194709/https://www.gameinformer.com/feature/2019/11/13/going-big Going Big: The behind-the-scenes story of Pokémon’s next evolution]".

'''Meltan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メルタン''' ''Meltan'') is a {{type|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation VII]]. It first appeared in {{g|GO}} and later made its [[core series]] debut in {{LGPE}}.

In Pokémon GO, it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Melmetal}} when the player uses 400 Meltan {{GO|Candy}}. Meltan cannot evolve in the core series games.

Meltan's appearance was first teased during the September Pokémon GO [[Community Day]] on September 22, 2018, and it was officially revealed on September 25, 2018.

==Biology==
Meltan is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a silvery body of liquid metal. Its head is hard and resembles a golden {{wp|Nut (hardware)|hexagonal nut}}, with a small black sphere floating inside. This sphere serves as its eye. It has a red tail that resembles an electrical wire with two tiny protrusions at the end. According to official concept arts, Meltan's liquid body is made of {{wp|gallium}}, and it can cry gallium tears. Its arms can stretch to be longer or shorter.<ref name=Guide>''[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!: Official Trainer's Guide & Pokédex]]'', p. 361</ref> Meltan is one of the smallest Pokémon, tying with {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Klefki}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

Meltan's body can corrode various metals, which it feeds on by absorbing them.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''" Given the Ditto's behavior, I believe Meltan is capable of assimilating metal by melting metal objects "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> The absorbed metals are circulated within Meltan's body to generate electricity, which it uses as an energy source. According to [[Professor Willow]], Meltan instinctively engages in this behavior when it encounters and absorbs metal.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ddxlXwEQ30 Meltan Research Update: Introducing Melmetal!]</ref>As a side effect, anything made of metal that Meltan absorbs will melt. Meltan can also use this electricity to attack by firing it from its eye.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/new-pokemon/ Pokémon Let's Go site | New Pokémon]</ref> According to [[Professor Willow]], Meltan has been described in ancient texts in the same place the [[Mystery Box]] was found. The [[Mystery Box]] was created by {{p|Melmetal}}'s followers to store away the Meltan created after its death, until one day, they could create a new Melmetal.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Maybe the people who glorified and worshiped {{p|Melmetal}} decided to keep it safe when the Pokémon somehow split itself apart. Doing so could have been thought of as the only way for the people to ever meet Melmetal again. "'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> At the end of a Melmetal's life span, it'll rust and fall apart, however its shards will eventually be reborn as Meltan.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"With careful study of the Ditto that I sent him and the small amount of documented Meltan encounters, Professor Oak was able to solve more mysteries related to this Pokémon. Meltan very well may have split from a Pokémon named Melmetal, which has been recorded even less than Meltan."'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref> It is known to live in groups, until the day comes where one strong Meltan absorbs the rest of the group to evolve. [[Professor Willow]] and [[Professor Oak]] theorize that Meltan's unique ability to evolve into Melmetal is due to its body resembling molten metal.<ref>[[Professor Willow]]: ''"Professor Oak and I have made a guess as to how Meltan can re-form back into Melmetal—because Meltan have bodies similar to molten metal, they have a unique ability to merge and trigger an Evolution into Melmetal!"'' ([[Pokémon GO]])</ref>

As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', the hexagonal nut on Meltan's body can be removed. It has also been seen working in packs. Meltan can spin its head, creating a sound that calls others of its kind. Its head-spinning can also be used as a sign of affection. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', it's revealed that it can be tamed if fed metal-like treats. In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', Meltan is shown multiplying in numbers overtime.

[[File:Meltan anime.png|thumb|250px|Meltan in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Melmetal|Ash's Meltan]]====
{{Ash}} encountered a Meltan that arrived on [[Melemele Island]] with its fellow Meltan in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]''. Ash eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it in [[SM112|the next episode]] after it befriended {{AP|Rowlet}}, who helped it recover its hex nut head. It later evolved into Melmetal in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'' by combining with its fellow Meltan shortly before the [[Manalo Conference]] finals.

====Meltan (recurring)====
Multiple Meltan have made a number of appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}. For a time being, they lived in the [[Ultra Guardians]]' base in the [[Pokémon School]], where they assisted [[Lusamine's Clefable]] in exchange for food and continued to multiply. They eventually combined with Ash's Meltan to evolve into Melmetal in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Meltan has several unique attributes:
** It is the only Pokémon capable of Evolution that cannot be evolved in the [[core series]] games. Because of this, it is not affected by [[Eviolite]].
*** As a result of not being able to be evolved in the core series games, Meltan is the only Pokémon that can be obtained in [[Poké Ball]]s that its evolved form cannot.
** It is the only Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Magnet Pull}} that cannot also have {{a|Sturdy}}.
** It is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that is capable of [[Evolution]].
* Meltan and its evolved form share several unique attributes:
** They are the only Pokémon in {{LGPE}} to not be introduced in [[Generation I]].
** They are the only Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! whose [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex number]] (152) is not the same as its [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex number]] (808). While [[Kanto]] [[Pokédex]] numbers are normally used throughout the game, the [[stats judge|judge]] screen displays National Pokédex numbers, which is evident for Meltan and Melmetal.
** They are the only Pokémon officially introduced in [[Generation VII]] that are not in the [[Alola]] Pokédex.
** They are the only Pokémon in the National Pokédex of Pokémon GO and {{g|HOME}} ([[Nintendo Switch]] only) to not be listed in a region section. Instead, they are put into "Unidentified" and "Unknown Origins", respectively.
** They are the only Mythical Pokémon that can be [[trade]]d or placed in a {{GO|Gym}} as a defender in Pokémon GO.
* Meltan is the smallest Mythical Pokémon.
** It also has the lowest base stat total of all Mythical Pokémon.
* Meltan is the first Mythical Pokémon caught by a {{Ash|main character}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In the animated series, {{an|Professor Oak}} is the person who gives Meltan its species name.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Meltan and its Evolution were created for Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! out of a "desire to build a bridge between players of the core Pokémon series and players of Pokémon GO", to make both groups happy.<ref name=Guide />
* In a 2018 GameSpot interview, Junichi Masuda mentioned that Meltan was designed by a [[Game Freak]] staff member "who was also a fan of the original games and played them as a kid", with setting directions from Masuda. The finished designs and assets were then given to [[Niantic]] in order to plan and launch the debut event.<ref name="GameSpot LGPE">[https://web.archive.org/web/20181020175530/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-lets-go-pikachu-eevee-update-pokemon-yellow-fo/1100-6462538/ GameSpot: How Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Update Pokemon Yellow For A New Generation]</ref>
** Two people were credited as "Pokémon Character Designers" in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!: [[Misaki Hashimoto]] and [[Hironobu Yoshida]]. However, Yoshida has worked on the Pokémon games since {{game|Yellow}}, implying that it was Hashimoto that designed Meltan.
* Meltan is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]] to not have an additional [[Form|form]].

===Origin===
Meltan is based on a hexagonal {{wp|Nut (hardware)|nut}},<ref name="GameSpot LGPE"/> and its tail resembles an exposed wire. Its lower body is based on {{wp|gallium}},<ref name=Guide /> a metallic element with a relatively low melting point of about 86 °F (30 °C). Gallium is used to make {{wp|semiconductor}}s, and can easily "attack" other metals, such as {{wp|aluminium|aluminum}} and {{wp|tin}}, to form {{wp|alloy}}s that are either very brittle or liquid at room temperature. These may be referenced with Meltan's liquid body, electric affinity, and ability to absorb metals.

Meltan may also be inspired by {{wp|Mercury (element)|mercury}}, a metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Much like gallium, mercury can also conduct electricity, as well as react with many other metals to form alloys known as {{wp|Amalgam (chemistry)|amalgams}}.

====Name origin====
Meltan may be a combination of ''melt'', ''metal'', and たん ''-tan'' (diminutive Japanese suffix). It may also be derived from ''molten''.

'''Throh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゲキ''' ''Nageki'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Sawk}}.

==Biology==
Throh is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bulky, red body and rocky skin. Its head is round and low on its shoulders with a T-shaped black feature that forms its nose and brow. Its hands and feet each have three digits, with its fingers being rounded. It wears a white {{wp|judogi}} with a black, v-neck collar that extends down to its {{wp|Black belt (martial arts)|black belt}}. The gi has an integrated diamond pattern on its sleeves and a black, square patch on the bend of its knees. Throh is a male-only species.

Throh travel and train in packs consisting of five members. Any member of the group that cannot keep up will throw away their belt and leave the group. It weaves its black belt from vines and ties the belt to increase its power. The belt grows darker as it absorbs more of Throh's sweat. It is driven to throw larger opponents and will always try to do so.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Throh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[move]] {{m|Mat Block}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Rocket Prize Master Throh.png|thumb|250px|Throh in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Major appearances===
Throh made his animated series debut in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', under the ownership of [[Montgomery]]. He was used during the [[Clubsplosion]], where he defeated [[Delbert]]'s {{p|Mienshao}}, [[Iris's Excadrill]], and [[Ash's Scraggy]] before losing to [[Stephan's Sawk]] in ''[[BW073|Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Throh and {{p|Sawk}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are male-only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be counterparts of each other.
* In both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], Throh is slightly taller than Sawk despite being four inches (10 centimetres) shorter than it according to the [[Pokédex]].
* Throh and Sawk were designed by [[Ken Sugimori]]. Throh in particular was created from an unused design for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.<ref name=int>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* As of [[Generation IX]], Throh is the only fully evolved {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon which doesn't learn {{m|Close Combat}}.

===Origin===
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Throh draws inspiration from martial arts that involve throwing, and notably a ''judoka'' (a {{wp|judo}} practitioner).<ref name=int/>

During development, Throh and Sawk both had horns, which may hint toward their design being originally based on ''{{wp|oni}}''. However, they were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, who were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Throh may be based on an {{wp|ushi-oni}}, more specifically a variety with an ox head and oni body, nodding to a famous Japanese-American {{wp|Japanese Brown|Akaushi}} bull named Judo.

It may also draw inspiration from ''{{wp|namahage}}'', demons wearing oni masks, replacing the ''{{wp|mino_(straw_cape)|mino}}'' with a ''{{wp|judogi}}''.

====Name origin====
Throh may be derived from ''throw''.

Nageki may be a combination of 投げる ''nageru'' (to throw), 撃 ''geki'' (strike), and 鬼 ''ki'' ({{wp|Oni (folklore)|demon}}).

'''Mr. Rime''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バリコオル''' ''Barrikohru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}} in the [[Galar]] region.

==Biology==
Mr. Rime is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Like its pre-evolved form {{p|Mr. Mime}}, it has growths resembling clown hair, but they are now black rather than blue and they cover the top of its head, resembling a {{wp|bowler hat}}. It has yellow eyes and a moustache that covers its mouth. Its black-and-white torso resembles a coat or tuxedo and a face, with yellow {{wp|shirt stud}}s for its "eyes", a red lump as its "nose", and a white {{wp|cummerbund}} for its "mouth". While its actual face remains almost expressionless, the features on its torso will change to convey emotions. Its lower body is blue and it has black and blue feet that resemble large shoes, presumably capped with ice. It has black spherical shoulders and blue arms with white, mitten-like hands. It always carries a blue formal cane made of ice.

Mr. Rime is highly skilled in tap dancing and waves its ice cane while it moves gracefully. It is popular due to its amusing movements and has been known to influence the {{p|Mime Jr.}} of the [[Galar]] region to learn its dancing steps, leading them to evolve into {{rf|Galarian}} Mr. Mime. It can release psychic powers through the pattern on its belly. The comical dancing of Mr. Rime is said to be a calling card. The moment an enemy laughs at its amusing tap dancing, Mr. Rime quickly takes the chance to blast them with frigid air at -328 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mr. Rime and its pre-Evolution, Galarian Mr. Mime, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Screen Cleaner}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Mr. Rime evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Mr. Mime}} and is the final form of {{p|Mime Jr.}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mr. Rime (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Despite its English name containing a male-exclusive {{wp|honorific}}, Mr. Rime's [[gender ratio]] is evenly split between male and female.
* Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can know an [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Unusable moves|unusable move in Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. Specifically, it can know {{m|Double Slap}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Barrier}}, {{m|Captivate}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Frustration}}, {{m|Return}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, {{m|Signal Beam}}, {{m|Snatch}}, {{m|Telekinesis}}, and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} by evolving from a Mime Jr. that learned these moves in a previous game.
** It is therefore also the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that can have a [[battle-ready symbol]].
*Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}} that can have the [[Origin mark|Sinnohan and Hisuian origin marks]], due to Mime Jr. being able to have them.

===Origin===
Mr. Rime seems to be based on a {{wp|mime}}, a {{wp|tap dance}}r, and silent film actor {{wp|Charlie Chaplin}}'s iconic {{wp|The Tramp|Tramp}} character. Like the Tramp, Mr. Rime appears to wear a {{wp|bowler hat}}, a black suit jacket, baggy trousers, and large dress shoes, along with carrying a cane and sporting a mustache. Mr. Rime is native to the [[Galar]] region, which is inspired by Charlie Chaplin's home country, the {{wp|United Kingdom}}. It could also be derived from the "city gent," a fashion style commonly associated with London businessmen during the 1970s, which prominently featured the bowler hat.

Mr. Rime may also be based on a {{wp|clown}}, since its feet resemble oversized clown shoes and the pattern on its round body resembles a clown face. It may also be inspired by the はらだし ''haradashi'', a humanoid {{wp|yōkai}} with a large face on its belly, and is known for visiting people who feel sad or lonely in order to cheer them up, sometimes by dancing.

Mr. Rime's desaturated {{Shiny}} coloration may reference the black-and-white color of {{wp|silent film}}s — Charlie Chaplin is considered to be one of the most famous silent film actors.

====Name origin====
Mr. Rime may be derived from the abbreviation of ''Mister'' and ''{{wp|Rime ice|rime}}'' (a type of frost) or ''{{wp|rhyme}}'' (since its name rhymes with {{p|Mr. Mime}}).

Barrikohru may be a combination of ''barrier'' (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and 凍る ''kōru'' (to freeze).

'''Sceptile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュカイン''' ''Jukain'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Sceptile wall.png|thumb|left|220px|Sceptile climbing a wall]]
Sceptile is a reptilian, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its neck is somewhat long, and it has two crests on its head. It has semicircular, yellow eyes with red rims. Its lower jaw and a belt-like band across its waist are also red. Along its back, it has two lines running down the middle and two rows of yellow nodules that are described as seeds. Its tail is shaped similar to that of a palm tree's branch. Both of its long arms have two sharp, elongated leaves and three claws. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Leaf Blade}} was its [[signature move]].

Sceptile is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungle}}-dwelling Pokémon. It has no equals in jungle combat. The seeds on its back contain nutrients, which are said to be able to revitalize trees. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], it is believed that the unique seed ability of Sceptile helps nearby tree saplings grow and thrive when it is asleep. It is capable of leaping freely from branch to branch. While it has the ability to slice down thick trees, it is known to care lovingly for the plants in the forest. This Pokémon regulates its body temperature by basking in the sunlight. Sceptile is said to have no equal or rival when it comes to combat in the jungle.
{{left clear}}

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

As Mega Sceptile, its head crests become more pointed with a round portion missing from the middle. Red marking surrounds its eyes, which become smaller and more narrow. The yellow seeds down its back grow larger. The seeds on Mega Sceptile's back are filled with energy thanks to Mega Evolution. The last pair of seeds turn red, while the pair above it turns orange. Red stripes encircle the base of its tail and run across its lower belly. The leaves on its wrists become more pointed, and the upper ones have red tips and half-circles cut out of the middles. Covering its chest and shoulders are plates of leaves similar to those that form its tail. Mega Sceptile's tail grows longer and develops a red stinger at the tip.

Mega Sceptile can cut off a portion of its tail to fire it like a missile at an opponent. Mega Sceptile can also detonate the seeds on its back and lower tail to launch its tail tip. Its lost tail will continue regenerating as long as it still has the energy required for Mega Evolution.<ref name="Mega">https://web.archive.org/web/20150207095123/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon</ref> Mega Sceptile can move to its opponent very quickly in a flash thanks to its fast legs.

Sceptile's most notable appearance is in possession of {{adv|Emerald}}, being picked as his final battling member for his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} challenge in ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', which he won after a tough fight. Once he deduced he was no rental Pokémon, but one smuggled in by a third party, he took him into his possession and used him to challenge the [[Battle Pyramid]], [[Battle Arena]], [[Battle Palace]], and [[Battle Dome]] challenges. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, he has obtained a [[Sceptilite]], with it he can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Sceptile.

==Trivia==
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Sceptile has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat and base stat total of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Sceptile was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Anyphaena sceptile'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Sceptile and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Like its evolutionary relatives, Sceptile's appearance and mannerisms are strongly derived from {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed geckos}}. It also resembles a {{wp|dinosaur}}, particularly bearing resemblance to ''{{wp|Dilophosaurus}}''. The orbs of nutrients on its back may be based on the reproductive spores of {{wp|fern}} species or based on the fact that many {{wp|legume|leguminous plants}} have nitrogen stored in nodes on their roots. The leaves on the tail in combination with the brightly-colored orbs on its back also create a strong resemblance to both the {{wp|yew|yew tree}} and various members of the genus ''{{wp|Podocarpus}}''. Sceptile's green skin and red jaw seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

Its ability to launch its tail while in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form may be a reference to {{wp|autotomy}}, a method of self-defense in which many animals, like reptiles, shed off their own appendages, which they can later regenerate. It may also be a reference to {{wp|rocket launcher}}s, with its tree-like tail also resembling a rocket.

====Name origin====
Sceptile may be a combination of ''{{wp|sceptre|scepter}}'', referring to its status as the "forest king"; ''{{wp|scissors}}'', referring to the blades on its wrists; or ''{{wp|Sceptridium}}'', a genus of grape-ferns; and ''{{wp|reptile}}''.

Jukain may derive from 樹海 ''jukai'' (abundant leafage; dense woodland).

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Close Combat is {{p|Machamp}}'s first move, as well as {{p|Lucario}}'s second move.

Machamp can obtain the move by reaching level 7 as {{p|Machoke}} and upgrading {{m|Karate Chop}} into it instead of {{m|Cross Chop}}. The user unleashes a barrage of blows in a targeted direction, hitting multiple times and finishing with a single large strike. The user is unstoppable for the duration and can move while using Close Combat. At level 13, the attack deals additional damage if the target is affected by a status condition.

Lucario can obtain the move by reaching level 7 and upgrading {{m|Meteor Mash}} into it instead of {{m|Bone Rush}}. The user rapidly punches, damaging enemies in the area in front of them 11 times over the duration. At level 13, the move's damage is increased.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite's benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s. Physically, Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}, but its design also parallels giant monsters from {{wp|kaijū}} films.

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

Due its coloration, it is possibly that Dragonite might be inspired by {{wp|Yellow Dragon|Huanglong}}, the Yellow Dragron. In Chinese cosmology, Huanglong represents the center and is associated with the Yellow Emperor.

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

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

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

Physical move

2025-11-29T09:57:41Z

Er must: Tachyon Cutter is a Special move.

{{DamageCats}}
[[File:Close Combat IX.png|250px|thumb|{{m|Close Combat}} being used against {{P|Dudunsparce}} is an example of a physical move.]]
A '''physical move''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|物理技|ぶつりわざ}}''' ''physical move''), sometimes referred to as a '''physical attack''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|物理攻撃|ぶつりこうげき}}''' ''physical attack'', also '''{{ruby|打撃攻撃|だげきこうげき}}''' ''striking attack'' until Generation III), is one of the three [[damage category|categories]] of [[move]]s and one of the two that inflict [[damage]].

Physical moves deal damage depending on both the {{stat|Attack}} stat of the attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the {{stat|Defense}} stat of the defending Pokémon.

There are also a small number of [[special move]]s introduced in [[Generation V]] that are said to deal physical damage; although these moves are classified as special moves, they too deal damage based on the defending Pokémon's Defense stat (as opposed to its Special Defense).

While most physical moves make [[contact]], some do not. For example, {{m|Earthquake}} does not make contact despite being a physical move.

==Terminology==
This category of moves is named "physical attack" in {{a|Ice Face}}'s [[Ability]] description. This term was seen more often prior to [[Generation IX]], being present in descriptions of some moves (such as {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Counter}}) and Abilities (such as {{a|Weak Armor}} and {{a|Toxic Boost}}) that interact with physical moves, as well as at the Exchange Service Corner from the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation IV}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Counter's description also has referred to it as "physical blow" in [[Generation II]] and "physical hit" in [[Generation III]].

==Generations I-III==
Before [[Generation IV]], whether a move was physical or special was determined by [[type]]. All damaging moves of the following types are physical moves:

{{TypeIcon|Normal}}{{TypeIcon|Fighting}}{{TypeIcon|Flying}}{{TypeIcon|Poison}}{{TypeIcon|Ground}}{{TypeIcon|Rock}}{{TypeIcon|Bug}}{{TypeIcon|Ghost}}{{TypeIcon|Steel}}

{{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Weather Ball}} are the only moves that can be either category, due to being able to change [[type]].

===Shadow moves===
The following [[Shadow move]]s are physical moves:

{{movelist/category-head/shadow}}
{{movelist/category/shadow|XD|Shadow Blast|80|100|anyadjacent|A wicked blade of air is formed using a shadowy aura.}}
{{movelist/category/shadow|XD|Shadow Blitz|40|100|anyadjacent|A Pokémon throws this tackle while casting a shadowy aura.}}
{{movelist/category/shadow|XD|Shadow Break|75|100|anyadjacent|A shattering ram attack with a shadowy aura.}}
{{movelist/category/shadow|XD|Shadow End|120|60|anyadjacent|A shadowy aura ram attack that also rebounds on the user.}}
{{movelist/category/shadow|Colosseum|Shadow Rush|55|100|anyadjacent|A Pokémon executes a tackle while exuding a shadowy aura.}}
{{movelist/category-foot|XD}}

Additionally, {{DL|Type|typeless}} {{m|Weather Ball}} is a physical move (only possible within a [[shadowy aura]]).

==Generation IV onward==
From [[Generation IV]] onward, every individual [[move]] is designated as either physical or special, independent of its [[type]]. Most damaging moves of the types that were physical before Generation IV are physical moves, and most {{t|Dark}} moves are also largely physical. However, there are exceptions, such as {{m|Focus Blast}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

[[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, [[G-Max Move]]s, and {{m|Tera Blast}} can become physical depending on use.

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

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

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

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

Along with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Talonflame}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Charizard is one of the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] available through the Unite Licenses in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as of version 1.12.1.2.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use Charizard:
** If the player chose {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the player's [[rival]] and [[friend]], {{ga|Blue}}, will pick {{p|Charmander}} in [[Generation I]] and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. This Charmander will eventually evolve into a {{p|Charmeleon}} and then fully evolve into Charizard. In {{LGPE}}, Blue uses a Charizard, contrasting with Red's {{p|Venusaur}}. In Let's Go, Charizard can [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard Y.
**With exception of {{LGPE}}, {{ga|Red}} uses a Charizard in all battles against the player as an NPC (except battle facilities). Red is representative of the player character from the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] [[Kanto]]-based titles, paying homage to Charizard as [[box mascot]] of Pokémon Red and FireRed. Red is often seen with the Pokémon when not using {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] Red's Charizard has the capabilities to [[Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y.
**[[Lance]] has used a Charizard in the [[Johto]]-based titles and in rematches in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! In Let's Go, this Charizard can [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X.
**[[Clair]] has a Charizard in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} while fighting he rin the [[Fighting Dojo]].
**[[Professor Sycamore]] uses a Charizard against the player in his second battle. It will not Mega Evolve.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Charizard is a member of [[Team A.C.T.]].

This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

===Cultural impact===
* Charizard was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Chilicola charizard'', a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref><ref>(June 1, 2016). "[https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/844107 One of 8 new endemic polyester bees from Chile bears the name of a draconic Pokemon]." ''EurekAlert!''. Pensoft Publishers.</ref>

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

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

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

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

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

Garchomp can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Garchomp''' using the [[Garchompite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Garchomp.png|thumb|left|250px|Garchomp flying]]
Garchomp is a bipedal, draconian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily dark blue in color. It has red on its underbelly from the lower jaw to the middle of the abdomen, including the undersides of its arms. A patch of gold comes to a point below the red on its belly, and a golden star shape adorns the tip of its snout. Garchomp has horn-like appendages that resemble a {{wp|jet}} or {{wp|plane}}'s engines, giving it an appearance similar to a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. These horns allow it to sense its prey from a long distance. Its large mouth features razor-sharp teeth. The feet have three white talons, and each arm has a single large, white claw for a hand. Curved fins sprout from the arms, creating wings that allow Garchomp to fly. Garchomp also has a large dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}. The male's dorsal fin has a notch on it. Pairs of small, white spikes protrude from its upper arms and legs, and there are gill-like slits on the sides of the neck. The eyes are intense, with black {{wp|sclera}}e and gold-colored irises.

Garchomp can {{tt|fly|although it cannot learn the move Fly}} at incredible speeds to catch its prey, and is capable of flying as fast as a jet. During flight, its wings generate blades of wind capable of cutting down trees. It is able to move at high speed in both the air and underground. It preys on bird Pokémon and is known to eat entire flocks of them whole. It sometimes battles {{p|Salamence}} in the air as they compete for food. Garchomp will never allow its prey to escape once it finds them. After catching prey, it returns to its den before its body can cool down. The fine scales on its body reduce drag for easier flight, and their sharp edges also serve to {{a|Rough Skin|injure}} opponents who attack it directly. It can use its protuberances as sensors for finding distinct prey. Garchomp lives in volcanic and boreal mountain ranges, and typically dwells underground. However, it is seldom sighted in the wild. Garchomp is described as having a feral nature, requiring extreme caution if encountered.

In [[Generation IX]], Garchomp and its pre-evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Rough Skin}} as an [[Ability]].

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

When Garchomp Mega Evolves, several of its features become more angular, including its head and shoulders. A row of five tooth-like spikes sprouts from each side of its abdomen and red spikes grow from its knees. The claws and fins on its arms melt from the excessive Mega Evolution energy and morph together to form sharp, red blades. Because Garchomp takes great pride in its winglike fins, it is enraged at the sight of them melting into scythes. Its scythes can slice the ground to pieces, and Mega Garchomp viciously tears up its opponents with them.

===Evolution===
Garchomp evolves from {{p|Gabite}} and is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Company Icon Mach Motors.png|thumb|150px|Logo of Mach Motors]]
*These notable Trainers all use Garchomp:
** [[Cynthia]]'s main partner is a female [[Cynthia's Garchomp|Garchomp]], using one in all battles against the player (except battle facilities), and is frequently seen in multiple media. It may appear in the [[Alola]] [[Battle Tree]] where it can [[Mega Evolve]]. It debuted in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, reappearing in {{g|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Black and White|Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2, White 2]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]] and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. It was never seen as a {{p|Gible}} or {{p|Gabite}}.
** [[Lance]] uses a Garchomp in a rematch in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
** In [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2]] exclusively, [[Benga]] will use a Garchomp against the player as they make their way through [[Black Tower]].
** [[Ryuki]] uses a Garchomp in both {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It appears in all fights against him.
** In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Volo]] has a male Garchomp during his third battle against the player atop the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. This Garchomp is presumably seen as a Gible during his other two battles with the player. This Garchomp is a parallel to Cynthia's.
** In the Pokémon Research Lab in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] is seen next to a Garchomp. A possible reference to his appearance in [[Pokémon the Series: XY]], where he had a Garchomp who could [[Mega Evolve]]. In other parts of the building, diagrams of Mega Garchomp also appear.
* The company logo for [[Poké Job|Mach Motors]], in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, depicts a stylized Garchomp head.

====In the spin-off games====
*[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] appears as an opponent in {{g|Unite}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early Garchomp FrontSprite Platinum.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp's prototype sprite from Platinum]]
* Garchomp was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond|its sequel]] has no notch on his fin, he is referred to as male.
* In an early Japanese trailer for {{game|Platinum}}, a [[Pokémon Platinum beta#Sprites|prototype front sprite]] is seen that is different from the final sprite.
* Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].

===Origin===
Garchomp appears to combine traits of dinosaurian {{wp|kaiju}}s, {{wp|wyvern}}s, {{wp|aircraft}}s, and different species of {{wp|shark}}s. It may also reference [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LandShark Land Sharks], a recurring creature in fantasy settings.

Garchomp also shares traits with various species of sharks, noticeably the {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. Its {{t|Ground}} typing might also be a reference to {{wp|Carcharhiniformes|ground sharks}} or {{wp|sand shark}}s. It may also be based on {{wp|Therapoda|theropod}} dinosaurs, particularly the ''{{wp|Carcharodontosaurus}}'', whose teeth are often compared to the great white shark's due to similar serrations and sharpness.

Garchomp's aircraft traits may allude to {{wp|Curtiss P-40 Warhawk}} fighters. These models popularized shark-themed {{wp|nose art}}s on aircraft and were often referred to as "desert sharks".

Mega Garchomp's skull-like head and scythe arms may be based on traits of typical {{wp|Grim Reaper}} depictions.

====Name origin====
Garchomp may be a combination of its Japanese name, ''carcharias'' (Latinization of the Greek word for shark ''karkharías''), ''chomp'', and possibly ''gargantuan''.

Gaburias may be a combination of がぶり ''gaburi'' (with a big bite) and ''carcharias'' or アース ''āsu'' (earth).

'''Yvon''' (Japanese: '''イヴォン''' ''Yvon'') is a character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is an {{tc|Office Worker|office worker}} living in [[Lumiose City]].

==In the core series games==
Yvon is the player's opponent in their [[Z-A Royale]] promotion match to Rank X.

===Pokémon===
Yvon keeps her Pokémon in [[Great Ball]]s.

Furfrou League

2025-11-12T11:32:07Z

Er must: /* Soignée */

The '''Furfrou League''' (Japanese: '''トリミアンリーグ''' ''Trimmien League'') is an unofficial [[Pokémon League]] operating in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region, focused entirely around {{p|Furfrou}}. It consists of an [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]] who can be challenged as part of [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Mission #103: ''Facing the Furfrou League'']]. As part of the challenge, the player is only permitted to have {{p|Furfrou}} in their [[party]], though they may have up to 6 Furfrou.

Each Elite Four member is located in one of Lumiose City's four restaurants and may be challenged in any order: Mie at [[Sushi High Roller]], Brill at [[Restaurant Le Nah]], Diamant at [[Restaurant Le Yeah]], and Marta at [[Restaurant Le Wow]]. Each member uses a {{p|Furfrou}} with a specific [[Furfrou (Pokémon)#Form data|trim]]. Once all four members have been defeated, the player will be told to seek out the Champion, Soignée, at [[Café Woof]]. Soignée uses Furfrou with the trims not represented by the Elite Four, as well as a [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] Natural Form Furfrou as her ace.

Upon defeating the Champion, the player will be crowned the new Furfrou League Champion, and will be awarded {{PDollar}}30,000 and a [[Gold Bottle Cap]].

Poison (status condition)

2025-11-10T18:29:03Z

Er must: For the change of poison in ZA.

[[File:Poisoned Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|{{MTR}} poisoned in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Bad Poison Effect.png|thumb|250px|{{AP|Leavanny}} badly poisoned in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
The '''poisoned''' status condition (Japanese: '''{{ruby|毒|どく}}''' ''poison''), or '''poison''', is a non-volatile [[status condition]] that causes a Pokémon to take damage over time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was abbreviated as '''PSN''', or as '''Pn''' in {{g|Stadium 2}}.

It is often caused by {{type|Poison}} moves. Poison- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon are normally immune to being poisoned.

A Pokémon can be poisoned or '''badly poisoned''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|猛毒|もうどく}}''' ''deadly poison''). The amount of poison damage inflicted to a badly poisoned Pokémon increases over time.

==Description==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Missing other descriptions:
*Curing from poison and using a move on a Pokémon that's poisoned
*Attempt to inflict poison on a Pokémon that cannot normally be poisoned (such as {{m|Toxic Thread}})
*Activation of a held [[Toxic Orb]]}}

==In the core series games==
===Effect===
====In battle====
In battle, a poisoned Pokémon takes a fixed amount of damage each turn, while a badly poisoned Pokémon takes an increasing amount of damage each turn. The exact amount of damage varies between generations. {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned.

=====Generation I=====
A poisoned Pokémon will take damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn, after it attacks, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack. If a poisoned Pokémon causes an opponent to faint, the poisoned Pokémon will not take damage that turn.

A badly poisoned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP (rounded down, but set to 1 HP if it would be less) on the first turn, after which damage increases by 1/16 each time it takes poison damage. The damage stops increasing when it equals <math display="inline">15 \times \left\lfloor \tfrac{HP_{max}}{16} \right\rfloor</math>. When a badly poisoned Pokémon is affected by {{m|Haze}}, [[recall|switches out]], or when the battle ends, it stops being badly poisoned, but remains poisoned.

If a Pokémon badly poisoned by {{m|Toxic}} is also under the effect of {{m|Leech Seed}}, both types of recurrent damage will draw upon the same '''N''' value to calculate how many multiples of 1/16 of the Pokémon's HP is taken as damage, and both will increase that value. If a badly poisoned Pokémon successfully uses {{m|Rest}}, it will be cured of poison, but '''N''' is not reset; if it then suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage will draw upon the '''N''' value, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).

=====Generation II=====
A poisoned Pokémon will take damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP each turn.

Poison damage taken by a badly poisoned Pokémon no longer interacts with other types of recurrent damage. Haze no longer affects poisoning.

While {{type|Steel}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned by {{type|Poison}} moves, they can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}.

=====Generation III and IV=====
Poison damage is now taken at the end of each turn, regardless of whether a Pokémon [[fainting|faints]].

A badly poisoned Pokémon will remain badly poisoned even if switched out or the battle ends, although the counter is reset.

Steel-type Pokémon can no longer be poisoned by Twineedle.

=====Generation V to VIII=====
At the end of the battle, a badly poisoned Pokémon now stops being badly poisoned, but remains poisoned.

Poisoned Pokémon take double damage from {{m|Hex}} and {{m|Venoshock}}.

Poison- and Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Corrosion}}.

If a [[Dynamax]]ed opponent in a [[Max Raid Battle]] becomes badly poisoned, it will instantly stop being badly poisoned, but will remain poisoned.

=====Generation IX=====
======Pokémon Legends Z-A======
In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, a poisoned Pokémon will steadily take continuous damage over time.

====Outside of battle====
{{incomplete|section|
* Does the Pokémon take damage when the player walks in the link room?}}
From [[Generation I]] to {{gen|IV}}, outside of battle, all poisoned Pokémon in the player's [[party]] lose 1 HP every four [[step counting|steps]] the player takes, except this happens every five steps in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

When the player is moving automatically as part of an in-game event or as a result of stepping on trap tiles, the poison step count remains unchanged and no HP is lost as a result of poison.

Pokémon with {{a|Immunity}} do not take poison damage outside of battle. (Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} and {{a|Poison Heal}} still do, however.)

=====Generation I to III=====
{{cleanup|section|Check if the game mechanics from early generations are still present in later generations (state specifically if something does not happen in later generations)}}

Poisoned Pokémon take poison damage until they [[fainting|faint]]. If the player's only conscious Pokémon in their party faints this way, the player [[black out|blacks out]].

The step counter is reset whenever the player continues a saved game. In Generation I only, it is also reset when the player uses {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. If the player uses {{m|Surf}} from the party menu (going from land to water, or from water to land), this does not count as a step. However, if the player moves directly from water to land, this counts as a regular step.

In {{game|Yellow}}, poisoned Pokémon in the party cannot lose HP when the player walks inside the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, poisoned Pokémon are specifically prevented by the game's code from losing HP when the player walks around inside a [[Secret Base]].<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/9c8cfe3b7586471958c9b90a04e0fab65f04a37a/src/field_control_avatar.c#L70</ref> Presumably, this is to prevent a [[black out]] from occurring here, as the player cannot do so even when losing a battle against a Secret Base trainer.

=====Generation IV=====
Outside of battle, if a poisoned Pokémon is brought down to 1 HP due to poison damage, it will be cured of poison instead of fainting.

=====Generation V to VIII=====
Poisoned Pokémon no longer take poison damage outside of battle.

=====Generation IX=====
======Pokémon Legends Z-A======
In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, poisoned Pokémon take poison damage while it is outside its [[Poké Ball]] (even when not in battle), losing 1 HP every 3 seconds. If they are brought down to 1 HP, they will not take any further damage from poison, so cannot faint from it.

===Appearance===
In Generation V, a poisoned Pokémon glows purple while in battle; from Generation VI onward, a poisoned Pokémon continuously releases bubbles of poison from its body.

In Generation V, the poison status condition icon for badly poisoned Pokémon has dark purple characters instead of white; in Generation VI, both the icon and text change color.

=====Other causes=====
A Pokémon has a 30% chance of being poisoned after making [[contact]] with a Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Point}} Ability, and a 9% chance after making contact with a Pokémon with {{a|Effect Spore}}. {{a|Poison Touch}} has a 30% chance (20% in the Japanese versions of Pokémon Black and White) of poisoning the target when the user uses a contact move. A Pokémon can also be poisoned if it directly poisons a Pokémon with the {{a|Synchronize}} Ability.

|}

=====Other causes=====
The item [[Toxic Orb]] badly poisons the holder at the end of the turn. From Generation V onward, a Pokémon can also be badly poisoned if it badly poisons a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}} (prior to Generation V, Synchronize only poisons). {{a|Toxic Chain}} may badly poison the target when the user uses a move.

===Curing===
Poisoned and badly poisoned Pokémon can be cured with the use of an [[Antidote]], [[Drash Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only) and [[Pecha Berry]] ([[PSNCureBerry]] in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status condition]]s, poison can be cured by the items [[Full Heal]], [[Rage Candy Bar]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Casteliacone]], [[Lumiose Galette]], [[Shalour Sable]], [[Big Malasada]], [[Full Restore]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Lum Berry]] ([[MiracleBerry]] in Generation II), and [[Sacred Ash]].

The moves {{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Rest}} remove the poison status condition from the user, while {{m|Heal Bell}} (unless the Pokémon has Soundproof as their Ability in Generation III and IV) and {{m|Aromatherapy}} remove it from all Pokémon in the user's party. In addition, the move {{m|Psycho Shift}} shifts the poison onto its target (thereby healing the user). In Generation I only, using {{m|Haze}} cures the opponent from poison.

Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, those with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured whilst it is {{weather|rain}}ing. Pokémon with {{a|Shed Skin}} have a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn, and Pokémon with {{a|Healer}} have a 30% chance of curing their allies.

===Prevention===
A Pokémon that is currently {{type|Poison}} or {{type|Steel}} cannot become poisoned, except by Pokémon with the {{a|Corrosion}} Ability; in Generation II only, {{m|Twineedle}} can poison Steel-type Pokémon as well. However, a poisoned Pokémon retains this status condition even if it [[type change|gains any of these types]] in battle (or regains the lost type once it is switched out or the battle ends).

A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}} can become poisoned by a Poison-type move, because the Pokémon changes into the same type of the move after the status condition is inflicted.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Immunity}} cannot be poisoned. Pokémon with the {{a|Comatose}} Ability, Pokémon with the {{a|Purifying Salt}} Ability, and {{p|Minior}} in Meteor Form are completely immune to being poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Pastel Veil}} will prevent itself and its allies from being poisoned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status conditions in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}. The Ability {{a|Magic Guard}} will prevent damage due to poison from being taken in battle; however, it does not prevent the damage from being taken outside of battle.

The moves {{m|Safeguard}} and {{m|Misty Terrain}} (for [[grounded]] Pokémon) will protect the party from status conditions for five turns. A Pokémon behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}} cannot be poisoned, except due to {{a|Synchronize}} or a held [[Toxic Orb]].

===Advantages===
While poisoning and badly poisoning, like all major status conditions, have primarily negative effects, it can be advantageous to be poisoned in certain conditions. Pokémon with {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, and {{a|Quick Feet}} will have their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} increased by 50%, respectively, if poisoned or afflicted by any other non-volatile status condition excluding {{status|sleep}} and {{status|freeze}}; however, in [[Generation IV]], sleep will increase the Attack of Pokémon with Guts. Poisoning will increase the attack of a Pokémon with {{a|Toxic Boost}} by 50%, and the base power of {{m|Facade}} is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with poison. A Pokémon with {{a|Poison Heal}} will regain 1/8th of its maximum HP at the end of each turn instead of taking damage. When capturing Pokémon, the poison status also adds a 1.5× multiplier to the [[catch rate]] of any given Pokémon.

In competitive battling in Generation I, as Pokémon were not healed before link battles in the handheld games, players would often enter battles with their Pokémon already poisoned, as it prevented them from being affected by other more harmful status conditions; also, poison only inflicted 1/16 of the Pokémon's total HP as damage each turn rather than 1/8 as it does from Generation II onward. This tactic was not possible in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], as Pokémon were restored to full health before battle in these games.

===Other in-game effects===
If a poisoned or badly poisoned Pokémon gains the Ability {{a|Immunity}} through the use of {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}} or another method, the poison status will be removed.

In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player is inside the [[Battle Pyramid]], the types of Pokémon encountered on each floor follow a set of categories, on the second floor the player will encounter Pokémon that poison as their main tactic.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, at the [[Battle Arcade]], one of the effects caused by the roulette is causing the poison status; Pokémon that would normally be immune to poison are unaffected. The poison will last for a single battle.

If a Pokémon has {{a|Merciless}} and hits a poisoned target, it will score a [[critical hit]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
When a Pokémon is poisoned, it takes 4{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|GTI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} / 2{{sup/md|TDS}} / 40{{sup/md|RTDX}} damage, occurring every 10{{sup/md|RB}} / 15{{sup/md|GTI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} / 20{{sup/md|TDS}} turns, or randomly{{sup/md|RTDX}}. Badly poisoned Pokémon instead take 6 / 60{{sup/md|RTDX}} damage every 2 turns{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}, 10 turns{{sup/md|GTI}}{{sup/md|SMD}}, or randomly{{sup/md|RTDX}}.

Poisoned Pokémon do not regenerate HP. Similar to the main games, the poison status does not disappear over turns but can be healed with certain moves or items, and by going to the next floor.

==={{pkmn|Rumble series}}===

'''Poisoned''' and '''Badly Poisoned''' are negative statuses in the {{pkmn|Rumble series}}. When a Pokémon is Poisoned, its HP will gradually drain at a rate determined by the Power of the Pokémon that inflicted it for ten seconds. However, if the affected Pokémon is controlled by a player, moving around will make the condition wear off faster, with the minimum duration depending roughly on the Pokémon's Speed. While Poisoned, purple bubbles emanate from around the affected Pokémon's head. The effects under Badly Poisoned are similar, but the rate at which HP is depleted gradually increases while the status lasts and purple smoke emanates from the Pokémon's head instead of bubbles. Though most negative statuses will replace one another if one is inflicted while another is present, Poisoned cannot replace Badly Poisoned (though Badly Poisoned will replace Poisoned).

No types are immune to poison, but Pokémon with the Poison Boost or Steady [[Special Traits]] cannot be poisoned or badly poisoned, and those with the Reflector Trait will cause the user of the poison-inflicting move to become poisoned or badly poisoned instead if hit by one.

===Pokémon Conquest===
Like the main series, poison does not wear off over time and a Pokémon inflicted with poison is protected from other status conditions. Pokémon can be poisoned by attacks, abilities, or by a Pokémon ending their turn in a poison bog. Pokémon can only be badly poisoned by the effect of Poison Fang. As in the main series, Poison- and Steel-types are immune to poison. Poison can be cured through certain [[Warrior Skill]]s, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.

Poisoned Pokémon take damage equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of their side's turn, even if the poisoned Pokémon itself took no action. Badly poisoned Pokémon take damage equal to 1/16 of their maximum HP initially, with damage increasing by 1/16 at the end of each of their side's turns. Enemy Warriors defeated through poison damage are not treated as being defeated by the player, and thus cannot be recruited after the battle.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
[[File:Shuffle Poisoned.png|thumb|250px|Diancie is poisoned]]
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], a poisoned Pokémon takes 50% more damage from {{type|Poison}} Pokémon (However, the activation move only takes 20% more damage).

Poison can be inflicted by Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Poison}} {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}.

{{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ghost}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon are immune to poison.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Poison Marker.jpg|thumb|200px|A poison {{TCG|marker}} from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]]]
{{main|Special Condition (TCG)#Poisoned|Special Condition (TCG) → Poisoned}}
In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, Poisoned is one of the five Special Conditions along with [[Asleep]], [[Burned]], [[Confused]], and [[Paralyzed]]. When a Pokémon is Poisoned, a poison {{TCG|marker}} is placed on it as a memory aid. One [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Damage|damage counter]] is put on the Pokémon in between each turn, during the [[Pokémon Checkup]] step. This happens before resolving any other Special Conditions, with Burned, Asleep, and Paralyzed following in that exact order. (Confused does not do anything during Pokémon Checkup.)

The condition can be removed by returning the affected Pokémon to the Bench, by evolving it, or with the effect of certain cards. A Pokémon can be afflicted with Poisoned and Burned at the same time, along with one of Asleep, Confused, and Paralyzed.

A common effect seen on [[Ability (TCG)|Abilities]] is increasing the number of damage counters placed on an opponent's Poisoned Pokémon between turns. One example of this is [[Seviper (Burning Shadows 50)|Seviper]]'s More Poison. Some [[Attack (TCG)|attack]]s and Abilities (such as [[Galarian Slowking VMAX (Chilling Reign 100)|Galarian Slowking VMAX]]'s Max Toxify) create Poisoned conditions that cause more than one damage counter to be put on a Pokémon between turns. These special Poisoned conditions persist if the Status Condition is transferred to another Pokemon (such as by [[Dust Island (Unbroken Bonds 168)|Dust Island]]).<ref>[https://pokegym.net/2019/04/19/unbroken-bonds-prerelease-faqs/ Unbroken Bonds FAQ (from Pokégym)]</ref> However, while Abilities that increase Poison damage stack with each other and Abilities that increase Poison damage stack with improved Poisoned conditions, improved Poisoned conditions do not stack. The most recently inflicted Poisoned status condition overrides the prior condition, even if the newer Poisoned causes fewer damage counters to be placed than before.<ref>[https://pokegym.net/2019/04/19/unbroken-bonds-prerelease-faqs/ Unbroken Bonds FAQ (from Pokégym)]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Poison is the only status condition to have an effect outside of battle; however, from Generation V to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], it no had an effect outside of battle.
* There is no way to badly poison a Pokémon in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], but the icon for it exists in the game files.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, if a Pokémon fainted due to poison damage outside of battle, using a [[Revive]] to restore it will not cure the poison status. This does not occur in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

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

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

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

==Biology==
[[File:Metagross floating.png|thumb|250px|left|Metagross floating and carrying passengers on its back]]
Metagross is a massive, robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a turquoise, disc-shaped body, and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of performing complex calculations and is more intelligent than a {{wp|supercomputer}}. It is imbued with psychic powers and uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. Metagross uses its fantastic strength to pin down a victim using its four claws and body. This allows Metagross to use its large mouth and teeth to chew its victim to pieces. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}. Metagross can also be found living in snowy mountains as their magnetic powers become stronger in freezing temperatures.

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

As Mega Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. It also gains four legs on the back of its head. The cross on its face turns pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two {{p|Beldum}} together. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its {{a|Tough Claws|claws}} are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks. Because Mega Evolution stimulates its multiple brains and increases its intelligence, Mega Metagross becomes a ruthless combatant that will clutch at victory by absolutely any means, no matter how horrifyingly cruel. If victory is deemed impossible, Metagross will attempt to dig its claws into its opponent and prepare to explode.

In ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Metagross competed in the [[Battle Royal]] preliminary round of the [[Manalo Conference]]. It was the last Pokémon to fall, losing to {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Metagross SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its {{i|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, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

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.

====Trophy information====
''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Metagross SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Metagross in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
Metagross reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, working the same as in ''Brawl''.

[[File:Metagross_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Metagross trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Metagross also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.''

'''PAL''': ''A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope you're far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Metagross returns once again as a Poké Ball summon, functioning the same as in ''Brawl'' and ''for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''. Metagross also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:0376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross]]
* The Metagross family are the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 3 that are not Legendary or Mythical Pokémon.
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these [[move]]s with or without its [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192.
* Despite being a gender unknown species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross and its pre-evolved forms all share both their standard and Hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.
* Mega Metagross is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* At the time of its introduction, Metagross was the only fully evolved pseudo-Legendary Pokémon to not possess a 4 times weakness to any type.
* Metagross is also the only pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that, in its debut generation, had no members of its evolutionary line able to be encountered in the wild.

===Origin===
Metagross appears to be based on a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|supercomputer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a {{wp|spider}}. Additionally, it is reminiscent of a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}. Metagross's face may draw inspiration from the largest gear of the {{wp|Antikythera mechanism}}, an ancient {{wp|analog computer}}.

====Name origin====
Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or ''groß'' (German for ''large'').

'''Metang''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタング''' ''Metang'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Beldum}} starting at [[level]] 20 and evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
Metang is a robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with teal, metallic skin. It has a disc-shaped body with a pair of flat, gray spikes on either side toward the rear. A jet cannot scratch Metang due to its strong body. There is a gray spike in the middle of its face, similar to a nose. A pair of red eyes reside in two holes in its metallic skin. While it appears to lack legs, it has a pair of thick arms with three claws on the ends. The arms are considerably thicker below the elbow and have a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the joint.

Metang is formed when two {{p|Beldum}} fuse together. A magnetic nervous system joins the brains of these two Pokémon. This linkage allows Metang to generate a strong, psychokinetic power that is doubled. However, this does not increase its intellect. This Pokémon's high intelligence and strong magnetic field are other sources of powerful psychic energy. In addition to generating psychic power, its magnetism allows Metang to hover in midair. It is able to rotate its arms backwards in order to travel at speeds over 60 mph (100 km/h) in search of prey. When Metang finds its prey, it uses its psychic power to stop it from escaping. Then it firmly grabs onto the prey with its claws, never letting go. Metang's claws are able to rip through steel. This Pokémon lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}} and harsh mountains. It pursues {{p|Nosepass}}, loving its magnetic minerals.

===Evolution===
Metang evolves from {{p|Beldum}} and evolves into {{p|Metagross}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Sophocles Metang.png|thumb|250px|Metang in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Morrison's Metang]]====
Metang debuted in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', after [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolved whilst battling {{OBP|Jump|AG126}}'s {{p|Electabuzz}} in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. It was mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]].

====Other====
In ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'', the [[head engineer]] used a Metang with an {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Magmar}} to attack a {{p|Bibarel}}, but Bibarel dodged its attack. It was eventually defeated by a combination of [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, and [[Ash's Turtwig]]'s and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks.

In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', a Metang was affected by [[Team Galactic]]'s meddling on [[Iron Island]].

In ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', [[Alain]] used a Metang in a battle against [[Ash's Noivern]] and was able to defeat it in a close match. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was revealed that Metang had evolved into a Metagross.

Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', {{an|Sophocles}} used a [[Poké Ride|Ride]] Metang for [[Ultra Guardians]] missions. In ''[[SM095|Sparking Confusion!]]'', it battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Golem}}.

In ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', [[Orla]]'s Metagross appeared as a Metang during a flashback.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', [[J's henchmen]] used multiple Metang to attack the [[Battle Pyramid]]. They were eventually defeated by {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|Bubble Beam}}.

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', a Metang was on the Cianwood Greens Pokémon Baccer team with a {{p|Beldum}} and {{p|Metagross}}, which competed in the [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]]. It reappeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG126|Metang|Ash's Pokédex|Metang, the Iron Claw Pokémon. Metang is the evolved form of {{p|Beldum}}. Its highly developed intellect and strong magnetic force allow it to create powerful psychic energy.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Morrison Metang AP.png|thumb|200px|Metang in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Morrison's Metang}}
Similar to his animated series counterpart, [[Morrison]] owns a Metang. It appeared in ''[[SP31|A Clash Of Wills!! Eternal Rivals?!]]'', where it evolved from his Beldum.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{Steven}} owns several Metang that first appeared in ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]''. He uses one to help him locate and dig up rare stones in various caves. Four others were used as standing platforms for each of the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] members.

The {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} rented a Metang, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.

===Pokémon Try Adventure===
A Metang appeared in [[TA02]].

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

==Trivia==
* Although it is said that Metang is made up of two {{p|Beldum}}, this is never shown in any [[Pokémon]] media, though it is mentioned in the [[Pokédex]]. In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', the only {{pkmn|animated series}} episode to date to show a Beldum [[Evolution]], when [[Morrison]]'s Beldum evolves into Metang, it "creates" another Beldum and newly developed main body to evolve, instead of fusing with another Beldum. Despite this, in ''[[XY116|The Synchronicity Test!]]'', the Pokédex claims that "Metang is created from the union of two Beldum."
* Metang's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 191.
* Metang and its evolutionary relatives all share both their standard and hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.

===Origin===
Metang is made of two Beldum merged. Aside from that, it may be based on {{wp|flying saucer}}s and {{wp|crab}}s.

====Name origin====
Metang may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''tang'' (onomatopoeic sound of metal being struck) or ''étang'' (French for the color ''pond blue''). Metang is also an anagram of ''{{wp|magnet}}''.

'''Yveltal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イベルタル''' ''Yveltal'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, Yveltal was one of the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on its boxart. Yveltal, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Zygarde}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:717 Cocoon VI OD.png|thumb|left|190px|Yveltal's dormant form, the Cocoon of Destruction]]
Yveltal is a large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal's wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backward. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.

Yveltal is said to represent destruction and death. Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers. According to legend, Yveltal does this in order to power up its own energy. It is highly feared by the ancient people of Kalos because of this. Yveltal is known to appear during a conflict, draining the life energy of any person or Pokémon that it encounters. Upon reaching the end of its lifespan, Yveltal steals the life energy of everything around it, then encases itself in a cocoon and falls into a deep slumber. Both are in charge of taking care of the land in a delicate balance between life and death. Yveltal's power can be used to power up machines as seen with the ultimate weapon. It can also {{m|Oblivion Wing|absorb its target's energy, restoring its vitality as a result}}. Said attack can also burn the ground it hits in the process.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Legendary Pokémon | X and Y (Archived)]</ref>

As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', any living creatures drained by Yveltal will turn into petrified stone, though it is unknown whether this action is intentionally malicious or not. As depicted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]],'' Yveltal can be very vengeful to anyone who disturbs its sleep and will seek to destroy it. Its counterpart {{p|Xerneas}} has the power to cure Yveltal's victims by filling them with life energy, but as seen in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'', it couldn't undo [[Aila]]'s case for unknown reasons. Xerneas is also shown capable of calming Yveltal should it get enraged. In ''[[PS553|Sylveon Enchants]]'', Yveltal was shown making plants wither away by simply touching them. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Y". In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Yveltal is referred to as "The one who takes".

Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}}. Additionally, Yveltal is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dark Aura}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} is one of the main antagonists of the game. It first appears on [[Revelation Mountain]], turning the {{player}}, partner, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}} to stone. Later, Yveltal and the other Pokémon possessed by [[Dark Matter]] attack the group again at the [[Road to Primeval Forest]]. Once freed from its possession, Yveltal feels deep regret for its actions, despite having been under the control of something else, and tries to make amends by attacking Dark Matter later on, only to be turned to stone itself.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====
Yveltal debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.

=====Other=====
Yveltal made its animated series debut in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.

====Minor appearances====

===Pokémon Generations===
[[Team Flare]] captured Yveltal in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'' so they could begin the next phase of their plans, which they titled "Project Y".

===Pokémon Adventures===
Yveltal debuted in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y. Since its name also starts with the same letter, it's difficult to imagine a more appropriate mascot for Pokémon Y. Apparently, when Yveltal's life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here's to a long and healthy life! ''

==Trivia==
* Yveltal has the same stat distribution as {{p|Xerneas}}.
* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. The initial designs for the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were started by Sugimori, but he encountered "{{wp|Writer's block|artist's block}}", having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>
* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, are the only [[game mascot]]s who are unobtainable through [[transfer]]ring in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Origin===
Yveltal was designed so that its silhouette resembles the letter {{wp|Y}}.<ref>Iwata Asks - Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 English], [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/ekjj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref> Appearance-wise, Yveltal resembles birds such as the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}, or {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s.

Yveltal may also be based on any number of avian-related figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven; or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as "{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil's fingers}}."

====Name origin====
"Yveltal" begins with the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may be derived from ''[[wiktionary:yvel|yvel]]'' (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of ''evil'') and ''{{wp|quetzal}}'' or ''{{wp|talon}}''.

'''Diancie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアンシー''' ''Diancie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Fairy}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Diancie''' using the [[Diancite]]. It is related to {{p|Carbink}}.

Diancie was officially revealed in the March 2014 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.

==Biology==
Diancie is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vaguely humanoid appearance. Its lower body is a conical, gray rock with a large, pink diamond in the side. Its upper body has two arms and is covered by a white material that resembles a dress. Its small mitten-like hands poke out of the sleeves. Around its neck is a golden, half-circlet with a pink diamond in the center. Its head is gray with purple eyes that have red sclerae and pointed ears. On top of its head is a collection of pink crystals forming a headdress. There are four spike-like crystals along the top, a long crystal on either side hanging downward, and a large circular centerpiece on its forehead. There is a small golden piece hanging off the center crystal and a small pink diamond embedded in the back of its head.

Diancie is born from a {{p|Carbink}} that undergoes a mysterious mutation. It can instantly create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air. Diancie uses these diamonds to both attack and defend itself<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160403205622/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/</ref>, usually whipping up a {{m|Diamond Storm|storm of diamonds}}. Diancie is also said to be one of the most beautiful Pokémon seen in the world, and its pink, glimmering body has been called one of the loveliest sights possible. Diancie is found living in underground caves filled with diamonds such as the [[Diamond Domain]], a crystal kingdom where {{An|Diancie|it}} reigns as queen over many Carbink, as it has occasionally been seen traveling or living with others. While Carbink tend to gather around Diancie, it pays little attention to them. Diancie can speak through telepathy, as depicted in the movie ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

Diancie is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Diamond Storm}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Diancie sword.png|thumb|right|250px|Mega Diancie wielding a pink diamond sword]]
Diancie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Diancie.

As Mega Diancie, its white dress becomes longer and loses its sleeves. Its lower body turns into a pink crystal and is surrounded by a series of long crystals similar to those on its headdress. On the back, both the dress and the crystals are longer, and additional, smaller crystals are suspended from the tips of the larger ones. The tips of the circlet around its neck curve outward and there is an additional half-circlet around its waist. The centerpiece of its headdress is now heart-shaped, and the remaining crystals are slightly smaller. The crystals hanging from the sides of its head have additional crystals suspended from the tips, and there is an additional hanging crystal on the back of its head. The diamond on the back of its head becomes rounded and two smaller gems form at the lower corners. Two ribbon-like structures grow from these additional gems; each ribbon has two small crystals suspended from the tips. The head diamond measures over 2,000 carats.

Thanks to the [[Infinity Energy|Mega Evolution energy]], Diancie's manipulation over diamonds has grown so much, that Mega Diancie can now create a sword out of them during battle. Due to the impurities on the surface of body having fallen away, Mega Diancie can now shine so brilliantly that when reflecting light, one cannot look directly at it. In this form, it was known as the "Royal Pink Princess" due to its colors and appearance.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150218152412/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-diancie Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Diancie]</ref> Due to it being blessed with both beauty and skill, Mega Diancie can easily adapt quickly to any situation.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Diancie (anime)]]=====
Diancie debuted as a main character in ''[[Diancie — Princess of the Diamond Domain]]'', which is set before ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It later appeared in the latter as a major supporting character. In both the short and the movie, it was embarking on a quest to find {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}.

====Minor appearances====
A Diancie appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
[[File:Mega Diancie ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Diancie in the animated trailer]]
A [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Diancie made a cameo appearance in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where it was seen battling a Mega {{p|Gallade}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Diancie Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Diancie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Mega Diancie Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Mega Diancie in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Movie adaptations===
{{an|Diancie}} appeared in the manga adaptation of the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|seventeenth movie}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Diancie debuted in this chapter, where it was mentioned by [[Gurkinn]] as he was escaping the destruction of the [[Tower of Mastery]] in ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]''. It was sought after by the owner of the [[Shabboneau Castle]], who sent his butlers out to obtain Diancie in ''[[PS569|Glittering Diancie]]''. One of the butlers, actually a thief, found Diancie and attempted to steal it. With the help of Gurkinn, [[Diantha]], and [[Korrina]], the thief was defeated and sent running away. Afterward, Diancie left with its Carbink companions to find a new home.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The same Diancie reappeared in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', where it rescued {{adv|Ruby}} and {{p|Latios}} from drowning after they were knocked into the sea. Later, Diancie entered a [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]] with Ruby and, using the [[Diancite]] Ruby had obtained from {{p|Hoopa}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into a Mega Diancie. After the events of this chapter, Diancie left with {{Steven}} to the [[Kalos]] region.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Diancie and its Mega Evolved form both appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
* Diancie shares the same {{pkmn|category}} name as {{p|Carbink}}. They are both known as the Jewel Pokémon.
* Diancie is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that is capable of Mega Evolution.
* Diancie is the only {{type|Rock}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Stone Plate]].
* Diancie is tied with {{p|Carbink}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Mega Diancie has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Rock-type Pokémon, as well as the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all Fairy-type Pokémon. Mega Diancie is also tied with:
** Mega {{p|Tyranitar}} for the highest base stat total of all Rock-type Pokémon.
** Crowned Sword {{p|Zacian}} for the highest base stat total of all Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Mega Diancie's Defense and Special Defense decrease is the largest single stat decrease of all Mega Evolutions, at 40 points.
* Diancie's origin as a mutated Carbink is reflected in its near-identical moveset and learn rate, though it learns {{m|Trick Room}} instead of {{m|Power Gem}} in Generation VI.
* Diancie's [[Pokédex]] entry on the official English Pokémon website erroneously states that its [[gender]] can be either male or female, despite the fact that it is actually a [[gender unknown]] Pokémon, while Mega Diancie is correctly stated to be gender unknown.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/diancie Diancie | Pokédex] (pokemon.com)</ref> This error is absent in the Japanese Pokémon Zukan website.<ref>[https://zukan.pokemon.co.jp/detail/0719 ディアンシー｜ポケモンずかん] (zukan.pokemon.co.jp)</ref>
* Diancie is the only Pokémon in {{g|GO}} capable of {{GO|Mega Evolution}} to not have its [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|shiny form]] available. It is also the only one to have not been available in [[Raid Battle (GO)|Mega Raids]] at any point.

===Origin===
Diancie could be based on the {{wp|Carbuncle (legendary creature)|carbuncle}}, a mythical fairy-like creature that was rumored to have a {{wp|Carbuncle (gemstone)|jewel}} embedded on its forehead. Diancie could also be a visual pun derived from the idea of a "{{wp|princess cut}}" diamond, referring to its princess-like appearance, although the diamond on the forehead resembles a {{wp|Brilliant (diamond cut)|brilliant cut}} in its base form and a heart cut in its Mega Evolved form. Its relationship with Carbink may be inspired by {{wp|eusociality}}, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring; or an example of a highly rare and unique {{wp|mutations}} such as {{wp|albinism}} or {{wp|polydactyly}}. Alternatively, the transformation from Carbink to Diancie could reference {{wp|metamorphic rock}} formation. Diancie, and its Mega Form, could possibly be analogous to various depictions of magical girls across various series. Mega Diancie in particular, being a powered up form, could potentially be compared to a typical magical girl transformation or a powered up super forms often seen in various properties.

====Name origin====
Diancie may be a combination of ''diamond'', ''fancy'', ''pixie'', and 石 ''ishi'' (stone). The ''-cie'' could also come from メレシー ''Melecie'' (Carbink's Japanese name), reflecting Diancie’s status as a mutated Carbink.

'''Clemont's Chespin''' (Japanese: '''シトロンのハリマロン''' ''Citron's Harimaron'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Clemont}} obtained in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], and his sixth overall, having received it from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Clemont and Chespin.png|thumb|left|250px|Chespin and Clemont]]
Chespin debuted in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found it hiding behind a plant and eating macarons. Clemont tried to befriend it, only for Chespin to stab his hand with its spikes and run off with several macarons in its hands. Later, it witnessed {{an|Professor Sycamore}} being captured by {{TRT}} and helped Ash and Clemont track the kidnappers by following a trail of macaron pieces left by {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. Once there, Chespin attempted to steal the macarons [[Jessie]] left lying around, only to fail and alert Team Rocket to Ash and Clemont's presence.

After Team Rocket unleashed their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Mega Mega Meowth]], Chespin was saved from being crushed by the mecha by Clemont, which caused the two to bond a little. Chespin helped Clemont stop the rampaging machine by pulling out its plug, only for Team Rocket to use an alternate power source to continue fighting. Having no choice, Clemont and Chespin battled the mecha, only for Chespin's attacks to fail. Even when teamed up with {{AP|Pikachu}}, the mecha suffered no damage. However, [[Blaziken Mask]]'s {{p|Blaziken}} saved the day by weakening the machine with {{m|Flamethrower}}, allowing Chespin and Pikachu to finish it off and send Team Rocket blasting off. Later, Chespin revealed it wanted to join Clemont's team as it watched him leave Professor Sycamore's lab. Clemont accepted Chespin's request and was given Chespin's {{i|Poké Ball}} to [[recall]] it.
[[File:Clemont Chespin Overgrow.png|250px|thumb|Overgrow activated]]
In ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', after stealing some of Serena's macarons, Clemont became concerned with how Chespin was out of shape from eating so much. To work off some of the weight, he had Chespin battle {{AP|Froakie}} and Dedenne, but it lost to both due to its weight. Later that night, Clemont made a machine to help Chespin, but Chespin walked off into the woods after smelling some cooked food. Chespin wandered into {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}'s house and was taken in for the night. Much to its delight, there was plenty of food for it to eat. Later that day, it had a battle with [[Wylie]]'s {{p|Delphox}}. Chespin barely avoided {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and was about to be hit by Flamethrower, but Clemont stepped in and blocked the attack. Clemont and Chespin then teamed up to battle Delphox, using its rounded shape to roll and dodge attacks until it lost weight. This allowed Chespin to move much more quickly and hit it with a {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Vine Whip}}. However, Chespin was hit by a powerful Flamethrower, which led to the activation of its Ability, Overgrow. Chespin then hit Delphox with one more powerful Vine Whip. It was then about to be hit by Delphox's {{m|Mystical Fire}}, but the battle was stopped due to Wylie experiencing pains in his waist.

In ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', Chespin was used in a [[Double Battle]] with {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} against {{AP|Hawlucha}} and {{AP|Froakie}}. Due to an argument between Froakie and Hawlucha, Clemont's Pokémon had the upper hand, but Froakie used its speed to trick Chespin's Pin Missile into hitting Bunnelby, knocking it out. After this, Froakie and Hawlucha started to fight, ending the battle. Later, it was shown that Chespin had eaten all of Serena's [[Poké Puff]]s when she tried to give them out.
[[File:Clemont Chespin and Serena Pancham.png|thumb|250px|left|Chespin's rivalry with Pancham]]
In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Chespin was used in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} along with Pikachu and {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} against [[Shauna's Bulbasaur]], [[Tierno's Squirtle]], and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. Chespin and the others were disadvantaged due to their opponents' great teamwork. When Shauna's Bulbasaur fired a {{m|Solar Beam}} at Pikachu, Chespin used its Vine Whip to tilt Pikachu up, allowing Pikachu to defeat Charmander. Chespin then used Vine Whip to counter Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}}, while Pikachu defeated a defenseless Bulbasaur. Eventually, Pikachu defeated Squirtle, giving Ash, Serena, and Clemont the win.

In ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', after eating all of the Poké Puffs, Chespin had a continuous quarrel with [[Serena's Pancham]]. During their quarrel, they accidentally disturbed [[Nini]] {{pkmn|training}} with her {{p|Smoochum}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} for her upcoming [[Pokémon Showcase]]. Later, a disguised Team Rocket appeared and managed to steal Pancham, Chespin, Fennekin, Smoochum, and Farfetch'd. While trapped inside of a ball, it and Pancham again quarreled, causing them to escape from the ball. However, Team Rocket quickly found them again and managed to injure Fennekin, Smoochum, and Farfetch'd, forcing Chespin and Pancham to work together. Eventually, they got reunited with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, and together Chespin and Pancham defeated Team Rocket. Although it seemed the two finally understood each other, Chespin and Pancham quickly quarreled again after the battle.

In ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]'', the group arrived at a [[Pokémon Center]] to shelter from the rain. However, a leak in the roof caused the center's machinery to short-circuit. While Clemont was fixing the machine, he had Chespin and Bunnelby run an errand to buy a machine part. Chespin was given a purse with a letter on which the part's name was written. While heading towards the shop, a wild {{p|Fearow}} snatched the purse from the duo. The two eventually managed to get the purse back and escape from the Fearow. While continuing their errand, Chespin and Bunnelby got attacked by Team Rocket. They managed to hold their own against {{TP|James|Inkay}} and {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}}. When Gourgeist attacked with Shadow Ball, {{AP|Fletchinder}} arrived and blocked the attack with {{m|Steel Wing}}, followed by Ash and {{AP|Noibat}}. Despite being told to stand back, Chespin and Bunnelby continued to fight Team Rocket themselves and managed to blast them off. Chespin and Bunnelby finished their errand, giving Clemont the last part to fix the Pokémon Center's main system.
[[File:Clemont Chespin searching water.png|250px|thumb|Chespin using its vines to search for underground water]]
In ''[[XY108|A Watershed Moment!]]'', Chespin walked across a barren land along with Clemont, trying to keep the tired [[Gym Leader]] from collapsing before they came across [[Robon]]. As Chespin, along with the others, observed the robot planting seeds, they got surprised by a {{m|Seed Bomb}} attack coming from an angry {{p|Chesnaught}} looming from a large rock before suddenly attacking them. Chespin attempted to go against its fully evolved form but backed down just as quickly as the Chesnaught began chasing it around. After managing to get away, Chespin pointed out a rundown building to the group that once belonged to [[Chapman]]. After assessing the situation, the others and Chespin decided to help out Robon and also managed to gain the trust of Chesnaught. While [[Clemont's Luxray]] used his X-Ray vision along with Ash's Noibat using {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}} to locate a water source, Chespin used Vine Whip to help search underground too, also encouraging Chesnaught to mimic with its own Vine Whip. After a while, Chespin managed to find the source, only to be blocked by a large rock. As everyone tried to remove it, Team Rocket appeared captured them. After Chesnaught managed to break the remote control, thus freeing everyone, Chespin combined its {{m|Pin Missile}} along with the other Pokémon's attacks to send Team Rocket blasting off. After Robon was fixed and successfully destroyed the rock to let the water flow, Chespin bade farewell to Chesnaught as they headed out.

Clemont sent out Chespin and Bunnelby to fight [[Team Flare]] in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''. They joined the battle against [[Bryony]]'s {{p|Liepard}} and [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}. The two of them, alongside Luxray and {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, defeated the Team Flare Scientists' Pokémon, allowing Clembot to subdue them and for the team to infiltrate the [[Lumiose Gym]]. In [[XY134|the following episode]], Chespin battled with [[Xerosic]]'s {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Malamar}}, which resulted in victory and allowed Clembot to evict Xerosic from the Gym. Chespin was used again in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where it joined the fight against the [[Giant Rock]]. In [[XY137|the next episode]], Chespin and the rest of Clemont's Pokémon received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.

In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Chespin was sent out to battle Xerosic again alongside Ash's Greninja. After countering Crobat's {{m|Air Slash}} with Pin Missile, it dodged Malamar's {{m|Signal Beam}} by having Greninja hurl it at their opponents, allowing it to hit Crobat with an extra powerful Tackle. After Greninja defeated Crobat, Xerosic recalled his Malamar and tried to escape but was caught by Clemont's [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Chespin appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where it was introduced to Ash's new Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Clemont Chespin gluttonous.png|thumb|250px|left|Chespin's gluttonous habit]]
Chespin is gluttonous and often goes after food, especially its favorite macarons. As a result, Chespin would keep the food for itself and refuse to give it back. When caught in the act, it is unrepentant unless coaxed. Sometimes, it would eat so much food that it would become heavy, as evidenced in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]''. Its gluttony is usually the source of conflict between it and [[Serena's Pancham]].
[[File:Bonnie and Chespin.png|thumb|250px|Chespin with Bonnie and Dedenne]]
Despite its gluttonous traits, it is also very courageous, going after {{TRT}} and respecting {{an|Clemont}} after he saved it from getting run over by [[Team Rocket's mechas|their mecha]]. It is also shown to be very determined when it repeatedly tries hitting Team Rocket's mecha despite its efforts being met with failure. In addition, Chespin has shown to be clever, as seen in ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]'', when it let itself get caught by Team Rocket on purpose so it can help {{AP|Pikachu}} escape from them. Chespin tends to be the more vocal of the group and usually displays a very happy-go-lucky attitude. In ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'', Chespin was shown to enjoy the spotlight and is very confident on camera, unlike its Trainer. First shown in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Chespin has occasionally come out of its Poké Ball for various reasons, such as battling, meeting new Pokémon, or wanting to do something. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' and ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'', Chespin has shown an interest in performing.

Chespin has shown loyalty to Clemont and shares a close bond with him, as it has been shown when it would sit on Clemont's shoulders or head. In addition to Clemont, Chespin is very good friends with {{an|Bonnie}} and enjoys playing with her.

First shown in ''[[XY050|Pathways to Performance Partnering!]]'' and later ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', Chespin developed a rivalry with Serena's Pancham and would later get into several quarrels with him. Though in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', it is shown that Chespin usually gets along with Pancham. Another time is when Chespin willingly gave up its food to Pancham in ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'' to congratulate him.

Chespin also shows an interest in being friends with [[Serena's Eevee]]. Still, its outgoing, spontaneous personality clashes with Eevee's timidness, causing her to flee behind {{an|Serena}} or {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}, and leaving Chespin dejected. Chespin's approach is no longer rejected upon Eevee's [[Evolution]] into Sylveon, making Chespin overjoyed when she accepted its encouragement for the {{pkmn|Showcase}}.
