An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[Evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some will hinder the user}}.

==Mechanics==
[[File:Primordial Sea.png|thumb|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} activating its Ability, {{a|Primordial Sea}}]]
Some species of Pokémon have multiple possible Abilities. The most Abilities any species has is three: two normal Abilities and one Hidden Ability. In most [[wild Pokémon]] encounters, the Pokémon's Ability will be one of its non-Hidden Abilities (each having an even chance of appearing if the species has two). Hidden Abilities were introduced in [[Generation V]]; they are relatively rare and usually require some type of special encounter.

In technical terms, a species' Abilities may be thought of as having separate slots, with an individual Pokémon's non-Hidden slot determined by its [[personality value]]. For example, an {{p|Eevee}}—with two non-Hidden Abilities—has {{a|Run Away}} for its first non-Hidden slot, {{a|Adaptability}} for its second, and {{a|Anticipation}} for its Hidden Ability slot. {{p|Vaporeon}}—with only one non-Hidden Ability—can be considered to have {{a|Water Absorb}} for both non-Hidden slots. When a Pokémon evolves, its Ability slot remains the same. This means that a {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} will evolve into a {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}}, while a Poochyena with {{a|Quick Feet}} will evolve into a Mightyena with {{a|Quick Feet}}.

Aside from Evolution, there are three ways for Pokémon to change Abilities in a permanent manner. One way is if the Pokémon has different [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] with different Abilities. Another way is through the [[Ability Capsule]], which was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. The Ability Capsule actually changes a Pokémon's non-Hidden Ability slot, but it will not work if the Pokémon has its Hidden Ability or if the species has only one non-Hidden Ability. Third, [[Pokémon Bank|transferring]] a Pokémon from the {{p|Venipede}} family with {{a|Quick Feet}} from [[Generation V]] to [[Generation VI]] causes its ability to be changed to {{a|Speed Boost}}. Aside from these methods, during battle, Pokémon may also change their Ability through [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], and certain [[move]]s and Abilities can also change a Pokémon's Ability.

When Abilities were introduced in [[Generation III]], some Pokémon only had one possible Ability. A number of these species were given a second Ability in a later generation. If a Pokémon whose species gained an Ability after Generation III is transferred to Generations IV or {{gen|V}}, it will initially retain its original Ability; upon evolving, however, its Ability slot will be recalculated and its Ability may change. When a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VI, however, it will be locked into the appropriate slot for its current Ability.

Aside from in-battle effects, some Abilities also have effects {{cat|Abilities with field effects|outside of battle}}.

Beginning in [[Generation V]], {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|most Pokémon}} were given an additional, '''Hidden Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Hidden Ability''), which can only be acquired under special circumstances. Such circumstances are listed below.
* Where possible, all Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon|Global Link promotion]], will always have their Hidden Ability.
* Certain [[event Pokémon]] may have their Hidden Ability.
* Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] will have their Hidden Abilities.
* Some overworld Pokémon in {{game|Black and White|s}} have their Hidden Ability:
** The five {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Desert Resort]].
** The {{p|Musharna}} in the [[Dreamyard]] on Fridays.
* Any Pokémon found in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]'s [[Hidden Grotto]]s have their Hidden Ability. In addition, the following Pokémon will have their Hidden Ability:
** On Mondays, a male {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|B2}} or a {{p|Braviary}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|W2}}.
** On Thursdays, a {{p|Mandibuzz}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|B2}} or a female {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|W2}}.
** A {{p|Deerling}} given as a gift on {{rt|6|Unova}}.
** [[Yancy]]/[[Curtis]] will trade the player a specific Pokémon with a hidden ability after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] and riding the ferris wheel with them.
* A Pokémon in a [[Horde Encounter]] may have its Hidden Ability.
* Pokémon found in a [[Friend Safari]] have approximately a 1 in 3 chance of having their Hidden Ability if the Friend to whom the Friend Safari corresponds has been recognized as a Friend in the PSS (i.e., if both players have been on the PSS at the same time).
* {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} have a small chance of having their Hidden Ability. The chance increases as more of the same species are encountered.
* In Generation VII, using [[SOS Battle]] chaining grants a chance that an ally Pokémon will have its Hidden Ability when called, which increases as the chain lengthens.
* All Pokémon transferred from the virtual console releases of Generation I via [[Poké Transporter]] and [[Pokémon Bank]] to Generation VII have their Hidden Ability.

===Abilities and breeding===
Before Generation V, the Ability slot that a [[Pokémon Egg]] would have when it hatched was left to random chance, resulting in a 50% chance of having either slot. Since Generation V, though, special mechanics have been introduced.

Starting in {{2v2|Black|White}}, female Pokémon with [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Abilities]] have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[Egg Group]]. In Generation VI, this was extended so that male and genderless Pokémon with a Hidden Ability can also pass it down if they are bred with Ditto. The chance of the offspring having either non-Hidden Ability is 20% each.

Starting in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, there is an 80% chance that the Ability slot of the female will be passed to the baby when bred with a male Pokémon from the same Egg Group. Starting in Generation VI, this chance is generically applied to any non-Ditto parent.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics#Abilities}}

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%).

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest}}

While most Pokémon species in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have access to three Abilities (similar to the main series, Hidden Abilities included), many of these Abilities are different from the main series due to differences in the battle system. For example, Abilities like {{a|Cute Charm}} and {{a|Rivalry}} do not exist in Pokémon Conquest (due to the game's lack of a [[gender]] mechanic), while other Abilities utilize mechanics unique to Pokémon Conquest battles (like "Sprint", which increases the user's movement {{stat|Range}}).

Like the main series, an individual Pokémon's Ability is dictated by its current species (i.e. evolutionary form) and may change during [[evolution]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Clemont Chespin Overgrow.png|thumb|250px|[[Clemont's Chespin]] activating {{a|Overgrow}}]]
Abilities have been shown in the anime, but are usually only used in battles; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}}. Abilities sometimes work differently in the anime than they would in the games, such as {{a|Mold Breaker}}, which in the anime cancels out more Abilities than it would in the games.

===In the {{series|Original}}===
The only Ability that was seen in the original series was {{a|Color Change}}, being used by [[Madison and Alexa]]'s {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''. It was later used by {{jo|Harrison}}'s Kecleon in ''[[EP271|Playing With Fire!]]''.

===In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

In ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'' a {{p|Kecleon}} used {{a|Color Change}}.

In ''[[AG039|A Poké-BLOCK Party!]]'', a {{p|Whismur}} used its {{a|Soundproof}} Ability to stay awake and listen to {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s song.

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.

Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

[[Bart]]'s {{p|Castform}} used {{a|Forecast}} in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]'', turning into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Sunny and Rainy Form]].

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} used {{a|Vital Spirit}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively.

In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', [[Liza's Lunatone]] used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} used {{a|Swift Swim}}.

In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', a {{p|Linoone}} has the Ability {{a|Pickup}} and takes items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}}.

In ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'', [[Lisa Mitchum]]'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} used {{a|Cute Charm}} Her [[Mitch Mitchum|father]]'s {{p|Loudred}} used Soundproof to stop Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing}} from working.

[[Angela]]'s Kecleon used Color Change in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', as well as [[Brock's Bonsly]] using {{a|Rock Head}}.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', a wild {{p|Wooper}} used {{a|Water Absorb}}.

In ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', [[May's Blaziken]] used its {{a|Blaze}} Ability while [[Ash's Sceptile]] used {{a|Overgrow}} during their [[Contest Battle]] in the {{to|Terracotta}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

===In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
Abilities proved important in the battles [[Paul]] and {{Ash}} had with [[Roark]]. During Paul's battle in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', his {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} uses {{a|Static}} to paralyze Roark's {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Cranidos}} although the latter shakes it off with {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Paul also deliberately allows his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} to take extra damage so that it can activate {{a|Blaze}}. After {{Ash}}'s first match with Roark ends in defeat, {{an|Brock}} briefly lends him {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets!]]'' because its Ability {{a|Rock Head}} makes it similar to Roark's Pokémon Onix, who also had the Ability. During Ash's rematch in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} also activates {{a|Static}} against Roark's newly evolved {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} and it is similarly ineffective.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]]'s {{p|Stunky}} used {{a|Stench}}.

[[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}} caught {{Ash}} by surprise during their first battle in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' when it was able to move very quickly with {{a|Chlorophyll}}.

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', Ash and Paul found themselves at a disadvantage during their first [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] because the {{p|Rhydon}} used by one of their opponents possessed {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Pikachu's {{type|Electric}} [[move|attacks]] useless.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' Ash, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} found Paul and {{cat|Paul's Pokémon|his other Pokémon}} evidently abusing his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}, repeatedly attacking it until it eventually collapsed from exhaustion. When confronted, Paul explained that Chimchar actually wanted the brutal training regimen; when they first met, Chimchar was being attacked by wild {{p|Zangoose}} and when pushed to the limit it activated {{a|Blaze}} and defeated all of the Zangoose with {{m|Flame Wheel}}. This incredible power was what drove Paul to capture Chimchar in the first place and the two have been trying to replicate the experience ever since with no success.

{{a|Swift Swim}} was an important part of [[Ash's Buizel]] going toe to toe with [[Maylene's Lucario]] in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.

In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

[[Brock's Croagunk]] first used his {{a|Anticipation}} Ability in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]''. He often used it to find Team Rocket and chase them off on his own.

Two {{p|Darkrai}} have used {{a|Bad Dreams}}. One used it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and another in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]''.

In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]'', [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}} used {{a|Levitate}}.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing with Defensive Types!]]'', [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} used its {{a|Heatproof}} Ability to minimize damage from [[Ash's Chimchar]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', [[Jessie's Yanmega]] activated its {{a|Speed Boost}} Ability while performing in the {{to|Chocovine}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Paul's Honchkrow]] used its Ability {{a|Super Luck}}.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', [[Jeremiah]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} was known to have Stench as it Ability but the Ability activated off-screen.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', [[Paul's Magmortar]] used its {{a|Flame Body}} Ability to burn [[Ash's Pikachu]]. [[Paul's Ursaring]] also used its {{a|Guts}} Ability when [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{a|Static}} activated.

An {{p|Arceus}} used {{a|Multitype}} in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} used {{a|Solid Rock}}.

A wild {{p|Heatran}} used {{a|Flash Fire}} in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.

[[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} used its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' against {{Ash}} in their [[Gym]] battle. It was later used by [[Paul's Electivire]] in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', [[Barry's Empoleon]] activated its {{a|Torrent}} Ability while battling Paul's Electivire in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

[[Paul]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used its {{a|Rock Head}} Ability in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' to avoid damage from its {{m|Double-Edge}} attack. In [[DP187|the next episode]] Paul's {{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Ninjask}} used {{a|Snow Cloak}} and Speed Boost respectively.

{{a|Illusion}} was seen twice in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', being seen by a [[Zoroark (M13)|Zoroark]] and [[Zorua (M13)|Zorua]].

===In the {{series|Best Wishes}}===

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}} used {{a|Super Luck}} to easily defeat [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. Trip's {{p|Frillish}} later used {{a|Cursed Body}}.

In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', {{an|Iris}} pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would.

[[Luke's Zorua]] often used {{a|Illusion}} to help [[Luke]] in making his movies. It was first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''.

==In the TCG==
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers became Abilities, these distinctions were done away with.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Pokémon Ranger Zebstrika Lightningrod PBW.png|thumb|200px|{{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Zebstrika}} activating {{a|Lightningrod}} in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]

{{mov|Xerneas|Xerneas|17}} activated {{a|Fairy Aura}} in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
[[File:Brawly Makuhita Thick Fat Adventures.png|thumb|200px|[[Brawly's Makuhita]] activating {{a|Thick Fat}} in Pokémon Adventures]]
Parallel to their introduction in [[Generation III]] of the video games, Abilities were first introduced in the ''Ruby & Sapphire'' chapter of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

During {{adv|Sapphire}}'s battle with [[Roxanne]] in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', [[Roxanne's Nosepass]] proved superior to [[Rono]]. Worried that Rono would be defeated, {{adv|Sapphire}} attempted to switch Rono out for [[Chic]] but was unable to. Roxanne explained that because her {{p|Nosepass}} has {{a|Magnet Pull}}, {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon cannot switch out.

{{adv|Ruby}}'s first encounter with Abilities arrived in ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt II]]'' when he and [[Mr. Briney]] were attacked by a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}}. [[Peeko]] tried to defeat it with {{m|Quick Attack}}, but the Crawdaunt's {{a|Shell Armor}} prevented it from doing much damage at all. After Mr. Briney fell unconscious, Ruby had [[Kiki]] use {{m|Double-Edge}} and infatuate Crawdaunt with its Ability {{a|Cute Charm}}.

Sapphire later struggled against a potent counter Ability when she faced [[Brawly]] in ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]''. After Rono was quickly defeated by [[Brawly's Makuhita]], Chic used {{m|Flamethrower}} against {{p|Makuhita}}, but it had little effect due to its {{a|Thick Fat}}.

While on their way to [[Slateport City]], Ruby and Sapphire were attacked by {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}} and [[Tabitha]] at the [[Abandoned Ship]] during ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]''. They escaped with the help of a wild {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} after Ruby realized that their complimentary Abilities {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}} greatly amplified their power when they fought together.

After [[Wattson]] is captured by the [[New Mauville]] generator, Sapphire devised a double battle strategy using his {{TP|Wattson|Electrike}} in ''[[PS205|Plugging Past Electrike II]]''. While Electrike did not have the moves to defeat the generator itself, and the wild {{p|Donphan}} that Wattson and the [[Trick Master]] had originally intended to capture would be quickly eradicated by its powerful attacks, Electrike's Ability {{a|Lightning Rod}} would allow it to redirect the bolt away from Donphan, buying Donphan enough time to destroy the generator with {{m|Rollout}}.

[[Archie]]'s {{p|Walrein}} activated Thick Fat during battle with [[Maxie]]'s {{p|Camerupt}} in ''[[PS230|Walrein and Camerupt]]''.

[[Norman]]'s {{p|Spinda}} was revealed to have {{a|Own Tempo}} as its Ability in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'' but {{m|Skill Swap}}ped it with his {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}'s {{a|Truant}}.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
{{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Aerodactyl|Aero}} activated {{a|Rock Head}} while using {{m|Take Down}} in ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]''. In the same chapter, {{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Rhydon}} activated {{a|Lightning Rod}}.

Red's [[Poli]] activated {{a|Damp}} in ''[[PS278|Put Your Beast Foot Forward]]''. It was {{m|Skill Swap}}ped by {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 2}} in ''[[PS301|Storming the Forretress]]''.

[[Cyrus]]'s {{p|Magnezone}} had {{a|Magnet Pull}} in ''[[PS369|Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone II]]''.

Diamond's {{p|Lickilicky|Kit}} was revealed to have {{a|Own Tempo}} as its Ability in ''[[PS392|Well Met, Weepinbell]]'' but couldn't activate it since {{adv|Sebastian}}'s {{p|Weepinbell}} cancelled it out with {{m|Gastro Acid}}.

===={{chap|Platinum}}====
[[Platinum's Lopunny]] used her {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability in ''[[PS420|Getting the Drop on Gallade II]]'' to help her defeat a {{p|Gallade}}.

A {{p|Tyranitar}} belonging to the Battle Factory had {{a|Sand Stream}} in ''[[PS428|Outlasting Ledian]]''.

[[Diamond's Rotom]] was confirmed to have {{a|Levitate}} in ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]''.

===={{chap|Black & White}}====
[[Brycen]]'s {{p|Vanillish}} had {{a|Ice Body}} in ''[[PS504|The Cold Hard Truth]]''.

Brycen's {{p|Beartic}} activated {{a|Snow Cloak}} in ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]''.

Black's {{DL|Black (Adventures)|Costa}} activated {{a|Solid Rock}} in ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'' but [[Iris]]'s {{p|Haxorus}} negated it with {{a|Mold Breaker}}.

===={{chap|X & Y}}====

===In the Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder manga===
[[Togari]]'s {{p|Watchog}} activated {{a|Keen Eye}} in [[FAT1]].

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
{{p|Electivire}} was shown to activate {{a|Motor Drive}} in {{Ash}}'s imagination in [[PDP07]] if {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|Volt Tackle}} on it.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure manga===
[[Saturn]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} activated {{a|Lightningrod}} to redirect [[Hareta]]'s {{p|Luxio}} {{type|Electric}} moves to it.

[[Hareta]]'s {{p|Riolu}} has {{a|Steadfast}} which activated after {{status|flinch}}ing from [[B-2]]'s {{p|Drapion}}.

[[Hareta's Piplup]] has {{a|Torrent}}, which powered up its {{type|Water}} moves.

Hareta's {{p|Luxio}} activated {{a|Intimidate}} in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]'' on [[Candice]]'s {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Regice}} but Regirock's {{a|Clear Body}} prevented Intimidate from working. Regice and {{p|Registeel}} were revealed to have Clear Body in the same chapter but weren't shown activating it.

[[Hareta's Regigigas]] has {{a|Slow Start}}, which proved to be a disadvantage for [[Hareta]].

[[Koya]]'s {{p|Absol}}'s {{a|Super Luck}} nearly defeated Hareta's Empoleon but a comeback with Empoleon's {{m|Surf}} would have given Hareta the win but the battle was interrupted by [[Mitsumi]]'s {{p|Glaceon}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}.

Koya's {{p|Mamoswine}} activated {{a|Snow Cloak}} during a hailstorm.

===In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga===
In [[PBK1]], {{OBP|Shin|PBK}}'s {{p|Bronzong}} had {{a|Heatproof}} to minimize the damage taken from [[Yū Shirogane's Infernape]]'s {{type|Fire}} moves but Infernape's {{a|Blaze}} powered them back up.

[[Yū Shirogane|Yū]]'s {{p|Scizor}} received {{p|Heatran}}'s {{a|Flash Fire}} Ability after {{p|Bronzong}} {{m|Skill Swap}}ped them in [[PBK4]]. Yū's Bronzong had {{a|Levitate}} in that same chapter.

Yū's {{p|Regigigas}} had {{a|Slow Start}} in [[PBK7]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Norman]]'s {{p|Slakoth}} activated {{a|Truant}} in ''[[PMRS03|I Won't Let You Lead]]''.

{{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} activated {{a|Illusion}} in [[PMHGSS20]].

===In the Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King manga===
[[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}} had the Ability, {{a|Static}}.

==Trivia==
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the least, with 27.

Walking Pokémon

2015-01-23T05:27:42Z

EricDLee: /* In the anime */

[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger some expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Cerulean Cape#Sea Cottage|Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}, Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Amity Square===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|{{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} with their {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Marill}}, respectively]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon captured by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an [[Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu]] becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Pokémon will additionally do as they did in Amity Square and occasionally pick up items and accessories, though it is unknown what items can be found this way or if these items vary by species. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Fire Pokémon are a special case: they react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet.

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.
====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Humilau City===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations, possibly to show the mechanic hasn't been forgotten. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give them a reward, a Pearl. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

==In the anime==
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Misty}} carrying [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]]]]
Several Pokémon walk with their Trainers outside of their Poké Ball in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being released from it in [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Though Ash eventually insisted he go inside for protection as he defended them both from the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}} he encountered, Pikachu still did not, and has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was captured by Mewtwo.

[[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being recalled to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]] in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]], subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually released by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a captured Pokémon.

Like Pikachu, [[Dawn's Piplup]] has also become a walking Pokémon, though he was initially completely fine with staying inside at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with it, unlike Pikachu. Since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms much like Misty did Togepi. In some episodes, however, Piplup instead rides on either her head or her shoulder.
[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|200px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. It is unknown if Axew has any dislike of a Poké Ball, as the issue of if he even has one has not been raised in the series.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is the newest walking Pokémon to Ash's group, usually appearing in Bonnie's bag.

Several of [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] frequently, without its Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Wobbuffet is thus something of a fourth team member.

[[Meowth]] is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a trainer.

==Trivia==
* Most of the recurring walking Pokémon in the anime have not evolved or refuse to do so. The only exceptions are Misty's Togetic and Cameron's Lucario, although Togetic was released soon after evolving. [[Iris's Axew]]'s dream in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' revealed that he wants to evolve into his final form.
* It is impossible to face an opposing Trainer with walking Pokémon, because all NPCs with walking Pokémon are either [[Multi Battle]] partners or do not battle, and in the communication part of the [[Pokémon Center]]s, walking Pokémon are not allowed.

Symbol

2015-01-16T08:01:36Z

EricDLee: /* Trivia */

A '''Symbol''' (Japanese: '''シンボル''' ''Symbol'') is an [[item]] which denotes a [[Pokémon Trainer]] as having defeated one of Hoenn's [[Frontier Brain]]s. They are the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Hoenn Battle Frontier}}'s equivalent of a [[Badge]]. There are two levels of them for each: silver and gold. The [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] equivalent is a [[commemorative print]]. Unlike Badges, they do not allow new items to be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese version of {{v2|Emerald}}, the patterns on the Symbols are originally the first letter of the Symbol's name: K (Knowledge), G (Guts), T (Tactics), L (Luck), S (Spirits), B (Brave), and A (Ability).
** However, the anime features the patterns used in the English version instead.
* Some of the patterns in the Symbols have similarities to the Frontier Brain's battle facility.
** The pattern on the Luck Symbol is identical to the hexagon patterns on {{p|Seviper}}, which the Battle Pike was modeled after.
** The pattern on the Tactics Symbol seems to be the Battle Dome if seen from above. It might also stand for the first letter in Tucker's Japanese name Heath.
** The pattern on the Brave Symbol seems to be the Battle Pyramid if seen from above.
** The pattern on the Ability Symbol seems to be the Battle Tower seen from below.
* The Knowledge Symbol is the only Symbol not to share a common first letter with [[Factory Head Noland|its respective Frontier Brain]] in the English version. However, both are pronounced with the /n/ sound.

The '''Battle Maison''' (Japanese: '''バトルハウス''' ''Battle House'') is a facility found in {{game|X and Y}}.

It is the [[Kalos]] equivalent of the [[Battle Tower]] and is located in [[Kiloude City]].

Its background music theme, ''[[Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection|Battle Maison]]'' (also shared with the [[Battle Chateau]]), is a remix of ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Battle Tower (Johto)]]'' from {{game|Crystal|}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

==Challenges==
By talking to the attendant next to the arena, the {{player}} may start a battle challenge to earn [[Battle Point]]s (BP) and increase their current win streak, which will be displayed on their [[Vs. Recorder]] along with their all-time record win streak. {{pkmn|battle|Battles}} held in the Battle Maison differ from regular battles in a number of ways. When challenging the Battle Maison:

* All {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} above [[level]] 50 will be set to level 50. Those under level 50 will remain at their current level.
* [[Bag]] [[item]]s cannot be used.
* Pokémon will not gain [[Experience|experience points]] by defeating opponents.
* Pokémon are fully restored after each battle, including any [[held item]]s lost or gained during battle.
* The player may put the challenge on hold at any time without any penalties to their current winning streak.

==Battle Chatelaines==
{{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s are sometimes fought instead of regular {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Unlike regular Trainers who use a set of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} randomly drawn from their roster, Battle Chatelaines have a predetermined team for every {{pkmn|battle}}, although the team order does vary. The Battle Chatelaines also appear in [[Tag Battle]]s, where they form teams. In Tag Battles, the Battle Chatelaines use two  Pokémon from their Single Battle [[Party|parties]].

'''Golduck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルダック''' ''Golduck'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Psyduck}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
Golduck is a blue, bipedal, duck-like Pokémon. It has red eyes, a cream-colored beak, and four spikes on the back of its head. There is a small, red gem on its forehead. It has webbed hands and feet, which it uses to swim in rivers and lakes. Its body is especially adapted to have a hydrodynamic shape, and it has a long tail that it uses as a rudder to steer.

Golduck is a fast swimmer, out-swimming even the most athletic of humans because of its webbed hands and feet. Even rough seas do not hamper this Pokémon’s swimming abilities, and it will sometimes rescue people from shipwrecks. The gem on its foreheads glows when it uses its psychic powers, and occasionally when it swims at full speed. As shown in the [[PS028|manga]], it has the ability to give knowledge to its Trainer and fellow Pokémon through telepathy.

Golduck is sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster, and physical inspiration for Golduck, the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}} due to its bluish color, general body shape, and webbed hands and feet. Golduck lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater lakes}} and in rivers, though it can be seen occasionally in coastal waters.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:North Petalburg Golduck.png|thumb|right|250px|Golduck in the anime]]
Golduck first appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. A Golduck owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. The Golduck clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

Golduck's first major role in the main anime was in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''. {{an|Misty}} thought that her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} had evolved, but it turned out that the Golduck was just some wild Pokémon that happened to act like {{an|Brock}} because of the Golduck's 'showing-off' attitude towards girls.

In ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', a Golduck was the boyfriend of an {{p|Azumarill}} that [[Ash's Totodile]] fell in love with.

[[Trinity]] used a Golduck in her battle against Misty in the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''.

A Golduck was owned by a Trainer named [[Katie]] in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. It defeated [[Ash's Torkoal]] after {{p|Venomoth}} {{m|disable}}d Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defense}} attack. In the [[AG129|following episode]], Katie's Golduck was defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]], despite being under confusion.

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', a wild group of {{type|Water}} Pokémon whose [[Berry|Berries]] were stolen were led by a Golduck.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Golduck also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

Four Golduck were among the Pokémon competing in the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]] in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''.

A Trainer used a Golduck in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'' to aid him in the annual {{p|Seaking}} [[Seaking Catching Day|Catching Competition]].

A Golduck was used in the [[Sumo Conference]] in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]''.

A Golduck appeared in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''.

A Golduck was seen at a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

A Golduck was used by a competitor in the [[Tour de Alto Mare]], a water chariot race, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

A Golduck appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''.

A Golduck appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Golduck.png|200px|thumb|Golduck in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Golduck}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Blue}} has a Golduck as one of his main team members. Golduck was shown in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]'' to be able to bypass {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s {{m|Light Screen}} over [[Saffron City]] by using {{m|Confusion}} to scan the city and channel its visuals to Blue's [[Pokédex]]. It used Confusion once again in ''[[PS052|Growing Out of Gengar]]'' to channel Blue's thoughts to the Pokédex.

Golduck was seen again in [[PS273]] during the [[Double Battle]] against {{adv|Red}} on [[Boon Island|Two Island]]. It was heavily damaged by {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Snor}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} when its plan to use {{m|Dig}} for a surprise attack backfired, knocking it out. It is then healed and seen in {{ga|Trainer Tower}} and later uses a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}} alongside [[Blasty]], {{DL|Blue (Adventures)|Rhydon}}, and {{adv|Silver}}'s Pokémon to try to stop the TR Airship from crashing in [[Vermilion City]].

==Trivia==
* Golduck is one of the few Pokémon that is obtainable in every main-series handheld game, including expansion games and remakes.

===Origin===
Golduck's physical appearance has aspects of a duck and a {{wp|duck-billed platypus}}.

====Name origin====
Golduck may be a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''. While Golduck itself is not colored gold, gold is often used in the Pokémon canon to symbolize the {{t|Psychic}} type: the [[Gold Gummi]] is the [[Gummi]] variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon, and the {{Badge|Marsh}}'s Japanese name is "Gold Badge".

'''Golduck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルダック''' ''Golduck'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Psyduck}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
Golduck is a blue, bipedal, duck-like Pokémon. It has red eyes, a cream-colored beak, and four spikes on the back of its head. There is a small, red gem on its forehead. It has webbed hands and feet, which it uses to swim in rivers and lakes. Its body is especially adapted to have a hydrodynamic shape, and it has a long tail that it uses as a rudder to steer.

Golduck is a fast swimmer, out-swimming even the most athletic of humans because of its webbed hands and feet. Even rough seas do not hamper this Pokémon’s swimming abilities, and it will sometimes rescue people from shipwrecks. The gem on its foreheads glows when it uses its psychic powers, and occasionally when it swims at full speed. As shown in the [[PS028|manga]], it has the ability to give knowledge to its Trainer and fellow Pokémon through telepathy.

Golduck is sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster, and physical inspiration for Golduck, the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}} due to its bluish color, general body shape, and webbed hands and feet. Golduck lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater lakes}} and in rivers, though it can be seen occasionally in coastal waters.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===

Golduck's first major role in the main anime was in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''. {{an|Misty}} thought that her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} had evolved, but it turned out that the Golduck was just some wild Pokémon that happened to act like {{an|Brock}} because of the Golduck's 'showing-off' attitude towards girls.

In ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', a Golduck was the boyfriend of an {{p|Azumarill}} that [[Ash's Totodile]] fell in love with.

[[Trinity]] used a Golduck in her battle against Misty in the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''.

A Golduck was owned by a Trainer named [[Katie]] in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. It defeated [[Ash's Torkoal]] after {{p|Venomoth}} {{m|disable}}d Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defense}} attack. In the [[AG129|following episode]], Katie's Golduck was defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]], despite being under confusion.

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', a wild group of {{type|Water}} Pokémon whose [[Berry|Berries]] were stolen were led by a Golduck.

==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Golduck.png|200px|thumb|Golduck in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Golduck}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Blue}} has a Golduck as one of his main team members. Golduck was shown in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]'' to be able to bypass {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s {{m|Light Screen}} over [[Saffron City]] by using {{m|Confusion}} to scan the city and channel its visuals to Blue's [[Pokédex]]. It used Confusion once again in ''[[PS052|Growing Out of Gengar]]'' to channel Blue's thoughts to the Pokédex.

Golduck was seen again in [[PS273]] during the [[Double Battle]] against {{adv|Red}} on [[Boon Island|Two Island]]. It was heavily damaged by {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Snor}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} when its plan to use {{m|Dig}} for a surprise attack backfired, knocking it out. It is then healed and seen in {{ga|Trainer Tower}} and later uses a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}} alongside [[Blasty]], {{DL|Blue (Adventures)|Rhydon}}, and {{adv|Silver}}'s Pokémon to try to stop the TR Airship from crashing in [[Vermilion City]].

==Trivia==
* Golduck is one of the few Pokémon that is obtainable in every handheld game, including expansion games and remakes.

===Origin===
Golduck's physical appearance has aspects of a duck and a {{wp|duck-billed platypus}}.

====Name origin====
Golduck may be a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''. While Golduck itself is not colored gold, gold is often used in the Pokémon canon to symbolize the {{t|Psychic}} type: the [[Gold Gummi]] is the [[Gummi]] variety loved by Psychic-type Pokémon, and the {{Badge|Marsh}}'s Japanese name is "Gold Badge".

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=water|type2=water
|ja=ゴルダック ''Golduck''|jameaning=Possibly a combination of ''gold'' and ''duck''
|fr=Akwakwak|frmeaning=From ''aqua'' and ''quack''
|es=Golduck|esmeaning=Same as English/Japanese name
|de=Entoron|demeaning=From ''{{tt|Ente|duck}}''
|it=Golduck|itmeaning=Same as English/Japanese name
|ko=골덕 ''Goldeok''|komeaning=Transliteration of Japanese name
|zh_yue=高超鴨 ''Gōuchīu'ngaap''|zh_yuemeaning=Literally "Excellent duck". 高 may be transliterated from the first syllable of ''Golduck'', while 超 may be a reference to 超能力 ({{t|Psychic}})
|zh_cmn=哥達鴨 / 哥达鸭 ''Gēdáyā''|zh_cmnmeaning=Partial transliteration of ''Golduck''. {{tt|哥|brother}} is also composed of 2 可, possibly a reference to {{tt|可達鴨 ''Kědáyā''|Psyduck}}. The last character means duck

[[File:Trainer card Black White.png|right|frame|The green Trainer Card in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
'''Trainer stars''' are stars that appear on the {{ga|Trainer Card}} when the {{player}} has completed an in-game task, such as entering the [[Hall of Fame]] or [[Gotta catch 'em all|completing]] the [[Pokédex]]. The Trainer Card will change immediately on this task's completion, and the player will never be notified; they must notice the difference in their Trainer Card when they next check it. The Trainer Card will change color when each star is obtained, and the stars can be earned in any order after the game has been started.

Trainer stars were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and appear in all [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] games. Though the achievements and colors differ slightly between Ruby and Sapphire, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, and {{v2|Emerald}}, when linked players view each other's cards the color will be consistent for Generation III games—a Trainer from FireRed and LeafGreen with one star will be said to all players to have a Green card, while a Trainer from Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald with one star will be said to all players to have a Bronze card. In the Generation IV games, however, color is consistent from the point of view of the game: a Trainer from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} who has three stars will be seen as a Silver card from the point of view of {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, although from HeartGold and SoulSilver's perspective the Trainer Card is a Violet card. Likewise, the Sinnoh [[Badge]] case, if the Trainer Card viewed is that of a HeartGold or SoulSilver game, will always be empty.

While Trainer stars themselves do not appear in {{game|Black and White|s}} onwards, the Trainer Card still changes color with the completion of certain tasks.

Although the Trainer stars and color changes are for the most part aesthetic, certain NPCs like the [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] [[Pokémon Center Nurse#HeartGold and SoulSilver|change their greetings]] to acknowledge the player's achievement of obtaining 4 or 5 stars.

Treasure Box

2013-03-29T23:59:13Z

EricDLee:

{{incomplete|needs=Missing stuff}}

A '''treasure box''' is an item in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]].

In the Generation 4 games, treasure boxes can contain different kinds of items that range from common food items to rare trade items that can be swapped in the [[Croagunk Swap Shop]]. They have to be appraised first at {{DL|Treasure Town|Xatu Appraisal}} located at [[Treasure Town]] before one can obtain the hidden item within the box. In certain dungeons, such as [[Zero Island North]], [[Zero Island East]], [[Zero Island West]], and [[Zero Island South]], there will be locked sections in which one must use a key to obtain the box. There may also be water blocking the box. These boxes will hold items such as legendary specialized items and Wonder Gummis. All boxes, with the exception of end-of-the-dungeon Deluxe Boxes and locked room boxes have random contents, though certain items will be unlocked as the game continues.

In the Generation 5 games, they may contain [[Team Skills]] after being opened by {{p|Rampardos}} in [[Post Town]]. Unlike in previous games, the items are often [[Max Elixir]]s, although it is still possible to find other items such as Gold Bars. Boxes can also be found in chambers that either require keys or a specific Pokémon type to enter.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and is scheduled to be released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, though their purpose is currently unknown.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle touches the door, the obstacle will disappear. {{Type|Fire}} and {{Type|Water}} can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and {{Type|Poison}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons. In the main dungeon selection menu, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skills]] replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. The player is able to choose the gender of the Pokémon chosen. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, as the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}, as Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Everyone Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Everyone Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Roulette wheel where Poké can be wagered. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Ravine Path]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Color Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Plains]] and [[Alluring Return Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Wailing Valley]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Ley Line Gorge]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Big Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Icy Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and what looks like crystallized rocks. One of the crystallized rock begins to glow, as the Pokémon try to warm it up and the crystallized rock stops glowing. Virizion finds another glowing crystallized rock, as Dunsparce warms it up as well and it stops glowing. A voice is heard from the rock, as Virizion begins to cry. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Red Land]] and [[East Savanna]] dungeons.

After completing one of the two dungeons, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing the next dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after completing another mission, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Genoware Shortcut]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Dark Night Forest]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Yellow Canyon]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withering Plains]] dungeon.

After making it past 12F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the frozen crystallized rocks in the Glacier Palace dungeon, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Windhole Hill]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, as Toxicroak's voice can be heard from inside of it.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a crystallized rock is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the crystallized rock that had Toxicroak's voice inside. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Blazing Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains it. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Cyan Lost Road]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the ([[Glacier Palace - East Tower]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - West Tower]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Glacial Body]] lurks. The Glacial Body unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Glacial Body alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Glacial Body, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Glacial Body will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Glacial Body unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Glacial Body attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Glacial Body with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Glacial Body lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Glacial Body will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, as a crystallized rock with a voice inside appears in front of the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the crystallized rock. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[World's Navel]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both Pokémon and recruited Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed as well.

== Demo ==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

** This is also the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game to have an overseas release since ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]'', since the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare games]] never did get an overseas release.
* This is the second Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game that the {{player}} can choose their Pokémon, with the first games where the player selected their own Pokémon being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], unlike the earlier games in the series where a quiz chose the kind of Pokémon the player would be.
* When first meeting {{p|Swanna}} in the English version of the game, she makes a statement that references {{wp|Carly Rae Jepsen}}'s song {{wp|Call Me Maybe}}.

EricDLee: /* "Was" vs. "were" */ new section

It i so far the only Grass type Pokemon starter not based on a reptile. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 13:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Category ==

[[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]] needs to be added to the starters' pages. I'd have done it myself, but the pages are protected --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 14:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC

==Name Origin ==

In the Name Origin section of the page Chespin is called "Chestpin" which I think is an error. I can't correct it because the page is protected. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 16:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I think his name may be based on a porcupine too. Chestnut and porcupine. It may even look like a porcupine. [[User:Milde|Milde]] ([[User talk:Milde|talk]]) 16:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

It could be based on Chestnut and Spin, which is related to Sonic the Hedgehog, since all of the other languages have something related to hedgehogs. No? [[User:Dragonace|Dragonace]] ([[User talk:Dragonace|talk]]) 20:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==Gender ratio==
Are we sure that's the gender ratio? We're not assuming it has {{a|Overgrow}}... --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Numbering ==

Following numbering tradition, can we assume that for now it's 650? --[[User:M.vit|M.vit]] ([[User talk:M.vit|talk]]) 23:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:No, because Snivy isn't 494, Victini is. We can't make any assumptions. --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] ([[User talk:Purimpopoie|talk]]) 23:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Plus for all we know they might change up the order. Doubt it but who knows until they actually reveal officially. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 00:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokédex ==

Under Regional Pokédex numbers, why does it say Not in any regional Pokédex instead of unknown Pokédex since it has to be in a Pokédex and it is too early to put that it was not in one? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Design Origin ==

Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a chestnut and possibly a porcupine or hedgehog?
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:30, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== "Was" vs. "were" ==

In the last sentence of the introduction, the word "were" should be replaced by "was" -- just a grammatical fix. [[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] ([[User talk:EricDLee|talk]]) 02:12, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

{{bulbanews|game}}
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Unova]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and unlike before, none of those available prior to [[Generation V]] can be obtained before defeating the Elite Four.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10.

{{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, the second paired versions of Generation V, are the sequels of Pokémon Black and White.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Nuvema Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Juniper]] has left a gift box for the two and [[Bianca]], another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bianca will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bianca's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bianca will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will heal the Pokémon.

The player visits Bianca's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bianca storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Juniper's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Juniper will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Unova region. Along the way, the player, Cheren, and Bianca will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[Badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion. Cheren decides to pursue strength and Bianca realizes that she cannot match the skills of the player or Cheren.

However, the adventure does not go as smoothly as expected, as the [[villainous team|evil]] [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. Team Plasma's goal is to separate Pokémon from people; claiming that humans are only hindrances to the lives and interests of Pokémon. The player will occasionally encounter [[N]], the mysterious leader of the organization. [[Ghetsis]], a co-founding member of the [[Seven Sages]], has a secret, different goal from N's. The player must learn of and thwart their plans in order to save the relationship between Pokémon and their Trainers.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Unova region after first defeating the Elite Four. Once the player enters the Champion's room, N is seen triumphantly boasting over [[Alder]], and proceeds to summon [[N's Castle|his castle]] to ambush and attach to the Pokémon League. The player traverses through the castle to find N and his legendary dragon, who claims to be the hero. However, the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} in the player's bag is released and summons the second dragon hero, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, which the player captures and uses to battle and defeat N.

Once defeated, Ghetsis angrily intervenes, revealing his intentions of creating Team Plasma for his own interests of power, and how N and the idea of Pokémon liberation were merely his tools. In a rage, he battles the player in an attempt to eliminate any witnesses of the truth. His actions are futile, however, and N reconsiders his actions and ideas.

After defeating N and Ghetsis, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done. After beating the game, the player will return to their house and see his/her mother next to [[Looker]], who will be disguised as the player's mother temporarily. He explains that he needs help rounding up the Seven Sages of Team Plasma that are hidden across Unova. Also, {{rt|11|Unova}} and [[Marvelous Bridge]] open up, allowing access to [[Black City]] or [[White Forest]], [[Undella Town]], and [[Lacunosa Town]]. The player may also access [[Giant Chasm]], within which {{p|Kyurem}} may be battled and captured. The routes surrounding these areas contain many Pokémon native to the other four regions. Alder himself may also be battled in proper Champion fashion.

Pokémon outbreaks will now occur across Unova's routes as well. Additionally, a series of strong windstorms{{sup|Bl}}/thunderstorms{{sup|W}} will occur across routes, indicating the presence of a {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Thundurus}}{{sup|W}}, which can be battled and caught. In [[Caitlin]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]], the player will encounter [[Cynthia]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region. She will battle the player, remarking about the striking similarities the player shares with another {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} from Sinnoh.

==Blurb==
===Game box blurb===
''"A new [[Unova|world]] filled with never-before-seen Pokémon! What are the true motives of [[Team Plasma]] and the mysterious [[N]]? What is the secret of the Legendary Pokémon? Adventure across the Unova region and discover all-new Pokémon."''

===Game manual blurb===
''"In this world live creatures called Pokémon. Pokémon come in all shapes and sizes and live in a variety of locations. Humans and Pokémon have lived together in harmony for ages. Nevertheless, there are still numerous mysteries surrounding them. In order to find out more about these creatures, many scientists—such as Professor Juniper of Nuvema Town—have dedicated their lives to Pokémon research.''

''One day, you and your friends, Cheren and Bianca, each receive a Pokémon from Professor Juniper, who asks you to travel throughout the Unova region in order to encounter every kind of Pokémon there is and to complete the Pokédex. After choosing your first Pokémon, who will also be your partner on this journey, your adventure begins."''

==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], have been left out. Black and White also features a great deal of general graphical enhancements over previous generations, such as a higher level of 3D graphics and creative camera angles.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world. These functions vary with the type of communication used: wireless, Wi-Fi and infrared. The C-Gear is similar to the [[Pokétch]] in that it fills the bottom screen, but its applications are much different.

On the [[C-Gear]], as well as in battle, the current time is displayed in {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour}} format, however, at the hours of 12:00 AM and PM, the hour displays as 0, rather than 12, as a {{wp|24-hour clock}}, such as that on the DS and in the [[Generation IV]] games, would display midnight.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}
The Pokémon Global Link is a multiplayer feature that makes use of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and is the equivalent of the fourth generation {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station|GTS}}. In addition to providing the features of the GTS, it allows players to upload their save files to the Pokémon Global Link website to access the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Players can also go to the [[Pokémon Center]] to enter Random Matchup where they can battle a random person also connected to Random Matchup. The Global Link is also the place where players can download exclusive content including C-Gear and Pokédex skins and additional [[Pokémon Musical]] songs.

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Unova]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive Hidden Abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===Entralink===
{{main|Entralink}}
The Entralink is a new feature in Pokémon Black and White which allows contact with other players over local wireless. It is a multiplayer area in central Unova; Pokémon obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] can be caught here. In combination with the [[C-Gear]], it is possible to travel through Unova with other players and battle, trade and perform various multiplayer sidequests.

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by the Pokémon Musicals. Similar to the Super Contests in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Trainers have to dress up their Pokémon with different accessories. The Pokémon will then compete by dancing on the theater stage with the other entrants. They are held in [[Nimbasa City]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced a system of time, Generation V features a system of seasons. Seasons change every month, thus completing three cycles per year. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. It also reflects real life in affecting the time each part of the day is; for example, in winter, night from is 19:00 to 6:59, but in summer it is from 21:00 to 3:59. Additionally, {{p|Deerling}} and its evolution {{p|Sawsbuck}} change forms every season. Some areas can only be accessed in certain seasons.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites, occasionally with minor modifications to the original [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of [[Bianca]], [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Changing music===
Whereas in previous games, the music was the same during entire battles (other than when the player's Pokémon has less than ¼ health remaining), in Generation V, things such as battle music may change with the situation. For example, when battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music changes to a remix of the main theme. The warning sound heard when a Pokémon has less than ¼ of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining has also been remixed into its own music. "Rare" Pokémon also get their own theme. Although this isn't technically new, the seasons change the music in certain places as well, though these changes are mostly the instruments heard. This is similar to the [[Time|day/night cycle]] in Generation IV.

===Triple Battles===
{{main|Triple Battle}}
In a Triple Battle, three Pokémon on each side are sent out at once. There are restrictions as to which Pokémon can attack which opponent. The Pokémon in the middle can attack all three on the other side, but the ones on either side cannot attack the Pokémon on the far side of the opposite end. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, through the use of moves such as {{m|Acrobatics}}. The Pokémon {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}} were introduced to showcase this new feature. The position of each Pokémon can be changed during the battle; however, a turn will be used up.

===Rotation Battles===
{{main|Rotation Battle}}
Rotation Battles are similar to Triple Battles in that three Pokémon in each team are sent onto each side; however, they are sent out onto a circular platform. The platform can be rotated a third of the way around without wasting a turn. The Pokémon which is in the third of the circle facing the opponent is the one currently active. Strategy revolves around predicting which Pokémon the opponent will switch to and switching to the appropriate Pokémon on the player's side.

===Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Lenora]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Brycen]] ({{t|Ice}}), and [[Drayden]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Cilan, Chili, or Cress are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Drayden is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four and Champion===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to battle the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating the Elite Four in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Alder]], who uses a variety of types. Caitlin is the same person present in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}} who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} in [[Generation IV]].

===New Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation V Pokémon]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, higher than any other generation, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related by evolution to any of the 493 introduced previously.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}} on February 10, 2010, who were both featured in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. Following that, the [[starter Pokémon]] {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, and {{p|Tepig}} were revealed in the May 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} prior to the games' release.

* When {{p|Genesect}} is [[Held item|holding]] a [[Drive]], the light on its back [[Form differences#Genesect|changes color]]. The Burn and Shock Drives are exclusive to Black, while the Douse and Chill Drives are exclusive to White.
* While {{p|Cottonee}} and {{p|Petilil}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, there is an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]] in [[Nacrene City]] for the Pokémon which is exclusive to the other game. By extension, this also allows {{p|Whimsicott}} and {{p|Lilligant}} to be obtained in the versions they are otherwise unobtainable in.
* While {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, Illumise can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} with any male Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}, {{egg3|Human-Like}} or {{p|Ditto}} to produce Eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. Likewise, breeding Volbeat with Ditto may produce Illumise Eggs.
* Wild {{p|Huntail}} are exclusive to Black, while wild {{p|Gorebyss}} are exclusive to White, but {{p|Clamperl}} can be found and evolved in both games.
* Several version-exclusive Pokémon can also be obtained via the [[Pokémon Dream World]].

==Compatibility==
Black and White are able to connect with all [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games. Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver are able to be traded forward to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]]. Like the transfer available in [[Pal Park]], Pokémon sent to Black and White cannot be returned to their original games. Some event Pokémon released in Generation IV have the ability to unlock more events in Generation V: specific {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Celebi}}, transferable via an exclusive method called the [[Relocator]], unlock {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Likewise, the [[Lock Capsule]] transferred from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver yields {{tm|95|Snarl}}, but this event has yet to take place.

Black and White also have the ability to connect to the Internet, accessing the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; Pokémon acquired in this manner are obtained in the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]. Although the game cartridges contain infrared technology similar to that used in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White are unable to connect with the [[Pokéwalker]].

These games are the first to take advantage of the [[Nintendo DSi]]'s capability to recognize and connect to {{wp|Router (computing)|router}}s with {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} connections. However, if the cartridge is used in an original [[Nintendo DS]] or a [[Nintendo DS Lite]], this functionality is disabled.

==Reception==
[[File:BWFamitsu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Black and White's perfect score]]
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} has given Pokémon Black and White Versions perfect scores. The reviewers were highly impressed with the fresh approach that the game has taken, from the graphics to the new features to the diversity of the Pokémon. The reviewers were also impressed by the Wi-Fi and PC features.

Very few games have received a perfect score of 40/40, the first of which was ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''.

{{wp|Game Informer}} gave the games 8.75 out of 10. Videogamer.com gave the games a 9 out of 10. [[Nintendo Power]] gave the games a 9.0 out of 10. {{wp|Edge (magazine)|Edge}} gave the games an 8/10. The [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] gave the game 95%.

==Trivia==
* The developers included antiwar ideas in Pokémon Black and White.<ref>[http://www22.atwiki.jp/bwhuman?cmd=upload&act=open&pageid=48&file=%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F6.jpg Dan Vinci magazine]</ref>
* Pokémon Black and White each have a [[Tao trio|mascot]] of the color of their counterpart version.
* Game Freak spent about one and a half years developing the story and characters.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=202 Game Freak's blog]</ref>
* Several bonus items were available with pre-orders of the games in various countries:
** In Japan, people could receive a {{p|Reshiram}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon Black and a {{p|Zekrom}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon White.
** In the USA, {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} offered Reshiram and Zekrom wall clings to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|Gamestation}} offered three styluses for the DS, each one featuring one of the [[Unova]] [[starter Pokémon]] to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|GAME}} offered an exclusive poster to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Australia, {{wp|JB Hi-Fi}} offered a Nintendo DS case featuring Reshiram and Zekrom to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Mexico, [http://www.gameplanet.com GamePlanet] offered a white T-shirt featuring {{p|Zekrom}} for pre-ordering Pokémon White and a black T-shirt featuring {{p|Reshiram}} for pre-ordering Pokémon Black. Each T-shirt had their corresponding version logos, the [[Nintendo DS]] logo and the GamePlanet store logo. The event {{p|Celebi}} for [[Generation IV]] games was also promoted as a pre-order exclusive, but in practice it could be obtained by anyone with a Generation IV game in the store.
* The credits of the Japanese versions are shown in English if kanji mode is selected.
* The font used in the text of dialogues by the Japanese versions is the same one seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|pre-release media]] of the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pokémon Black and White are the first main series games to require the version mascot to be specifically ''caught''; if the battle ends by any other means (such as causing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} to faint), the story will not proceed, and the player will have to try again.
** However, if the player is unable to catch their mascot because of a full [[party]] and [[PC]] boxes, the story will proceed anyway, and the Pokémon will be waiting for them at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] later.
* In the international versions, Pokémon names are no longer displayed in all capital letters, following the trend set in [[Generation IV]] of no longer displaying the names of characters, items and locations in all capital letters.
** Pokémon transferred forward, however, will keep an all-caps species name unless they are evolved in Generation V.
* When the games were advertised or reported on [[Pokémon Sunday]], the song ''{{wp|Black or White}}'' by {{wp|Michael Jackson}} was played multiple times as a reference to the titles of the games.
* These games are the first [[version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} to be available in Europe before the United States, being released 2 days earlier. However, these are not the first Pokémon titles, as this was also the case with the spin-off games [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* The slogan used in the commercials for these games is "Start From a New Beginning".
* Black and White are the first handheld Pokémon games to censor certain words when attempting to nickname a Pokémon. This means that if the player gives a nickname to a Pokémon that is registered on [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the games' built-in blacklist]], he/she will be unable to confirm the nickname as the action will be denied, requiring another, whitelisted name to be input.
* The European versions of Black and White were translated directly from the original Japanese version, rather than being translated from the American version like with previous games.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-22-the-brains-behind-pokemon-black-and-white-interview?page=2 The brains behind Pokemon Black and White Interview • Page 2 • Interviews • Eurogamer.net]</ref>
* Korean versions of Black and White, unlike all Korean Generation IV games, can communicate with international versions without any issues.
* Due to the DS cartridges being black, Pokémon Black is technically the first Pokémon game since Emerald to have its cartridge match the color of the game.
* When played on a [[Nintendo DSi]], [[Nintendo DSi XL|DSi XL]], or [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], the Poké Ball on the game's icon will wiggle.
* Black and White are the first two Pokémon games in which the [[Master Ball]] can be given to the player more than once without the use of a [[Pokémon Lottery Corner|lottery number]].

'''Magcargo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグカルゴ''' ''Magcargot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slugma}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magcargo are large, snail-like Fire-type Pokémon that seem to consist almost entirely out of magma, much like its pre-evolution. However, it has gained a hard shell that is made out of hardened magma. This shell seems to have a circular-shape and has small holes in it that spurts out small flames. This shell is somewhat thin and can flake off easily.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Magcargo's body is over {{tt|18,000 degrees Fahrenheit|10,000 degrees Celsius}}. Due to its magma body, it is able to use many {{type2|Fire}} moves. It can also learn {{m|Recover}}.

===Behavior===
Magcargo is said to return to its original size by dipping itself in magma.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
To keep itself from hardening, Magcargo prefers to stay near something very hot, like a volcano.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Macy Magcargo.png|thumb|250px|Magcargo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Magcargo first appeared in ''[[EP240|Some Like it Hot]]''. A {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Egan]] was trying to capture an [[giant Pokémon|unusually large]] Magcargo, later finally succeeding.

A normal-sized Magcargo appeared in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]''. Also, [[Macy]]'s Slugma evolved sometime after battling {{Ash}}.

[[Flannery]] has a Magcargo that evolved from one of her two Slugma in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Magcargo appeared in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Flannery Magcargo Adventures.png|thumb|130px|[[Flannery]] and her Magcargo as they appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Giant Pokémon|A giant Magcargo]] first appeared in {{PAV|13}}, under the control of [[Carl]]. It was shown being able to attack even when asleep by using {{m|Sleep Talk}}.

Another Magcargo appeared under the ownership of [[Flannery]] in {{PAV|17}}.

Magcargo was also seen as one of the Pokémon used by [[Team Magma]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=fire
|type2=rock

|golddex=The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
|silverdex=Its brittle shell occasionally {{m|Lava Plume|spouts intense flames}} that circulate throughout its body.
|crystaldex=Its body is as hot as lava and is always billowing. Flames will occasionally burst from its shell.
|stadium2dex=The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
|rubydex=Magcargo's shell is actually its skin that hardened as a result of cooling. Its shell is very brittle and fragile - just touching it causes it to crumble apart. This Pokémon returns to its original size by dipping itself in magma.
|sapphiredex=Magcargo's body temperature is approximately {{tt|18,000 degrees F|10,000 degrees C}}. Water is vaporized on contact. If this Pokémon is caught in the rain, the raindrops instantly turn into steam, cloaking the area in a thick fog.
|emeralddex=The shell on its back is made of hardened magma. Tens of thousands of years spent living in volcanic craters have turned Magcargo's bodies into magma.
|firereddex=Its brittle shell occasionally spouts intense flames that circulate throughout its body.
|leafgreendex=The shell on its back is just skin that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch.
|dpptdex=Its body temperature is roughly {{tt|18,000 degrees F|10,000 degrees C}}. Flames spout from gaps in its hardened shell.

==Trivia==
* Magcargo is the only Pokémon to be obtainable in every main [[Generation III]] game, if [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] are to be included. It is also included in every [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] game, making {{game|Black and White|s}} the first main games since its introduction where it cannot be obtained.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Magcargo.
* Despite the fact Magcargo's shell crumbles easily, in the anime, it has been depicted retracting into its shell and protecting itself from damage.
* Magcargo's body is over 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (significantly greater than that of the surface of the Sun, about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit), which should be hot enough to carbonize flesh. However, it has made contact with Pokémon many times in the anime and none of them felt any burning from its body. This trait is shared with {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, and its own pre-evolution, {{p|Slugma}}.
* Despite the fact that water is vaporized on contact with Magcargo, it is doubly weak to {{type|Water}} attacks.
*Magcargo has its sprite changed in [[Crystal]] from [[Gold and Silver]], in this case, its shell is edited slightly, making it one of few Pokémon to have three different sprites in Generation II.

===Origin===
Magcargo is based on a {{wp|snail}} with a body of {{wp|lava}} and a shell of {{wp|rock}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Cherufe}}, mythical evil creatures of rock and magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. In legends, they are the main sources of earthquakes in Chile.

====Name origin====
Magcargo and Magcargot are a combination of ''magma'' (intrusive molten rock) and ''{{wp|escargot}}'' (French for ''{{wp|snail}}''). ''{{wp|Cargo}}'' may also refer to the shell it carries, which it lacked as a {{p|Slugma}}.

HM

2011-07-16T00:00:46Z

EricDLee: /* Generation V */

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:Fly_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|HM moves, like {{m|Fly}}, have effects outside of battle.]]
A '''Hidden Machine''', '''HM''' for short (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine'') is an item that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

The difference between a TM and an HM is most pronounced in the earlier games in the series, where TMs were single-use items while HMs could be used an unlimited amount of times after they were obtained. HMs, unlike TMs, could not be sold for money, and the moves contained within could not be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances. An HM move could be used by Pokémon even if they had fainted during battle.

All HM moves have the ability to be used outside of battle in the games they are HMs in, though a move's ability to be used outside of battle does not mean that it is necessarily an HM move. To be used outside of battle, specific [[Badge]]s must be obtained by the player to advance the game's storyline.

==Generation I==
In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, and their use is essential for completing the game. Of these five, four of them remain as HM moves even in [[Generation V]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle to light dark caves.

|}

None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day-Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

==Generation II==
In Generation II two new moves become HMs. The five from Generation I return, while a new move, {{m|Whirlpool}}, becomes one, and an old move, {{m|Waterfall}}, becomes another.

A [[move deleter]] was added to the games, mostly with the intention of making possible the ability to delete {{cat|Generation II moves}} that a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} had learned in order to be able to trade it back, though with the side effect of HM moves now being able to be forgotten.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

==Generation III==
===Hoenn===
In Hoenn one of the Generation II HMs lost its status, while another move became the eighth HM.

In Sinnoh, for the first time, one of the original HMs lost its status to a new move, while HM08 was brought back as a different move.

==Generation V==
HMs were reduced back to 6 in Generation V; HM07 and HM08 no longer exist in the coding of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Dive returns for use in Unova. This is the first time that HM moves do not require Gym Badges for use outside of battle.

When a move is replaced by a HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move. The same also applies for replacing old moves with new moves and TMs.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}} and {{gen|V}}, all HMs only have one word in their names.
** Also, the only two HMs to date that have more than one word in their names are the only two to include "Rock" in their names despite not being {{type2|Rock}}.
* [[Ash's Grotle]] is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime to have used a current HM move, {{m|Rock Climb}}. [[Dawn's Piplup]], however, is known for his {{m|Whirlpool}}, which did not become an HM again until long after he had first used it (though debatably, other Pokémon may have used {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Fly}}, though they were not directly ordered to use the move).
* The only current HM moves that are able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up are {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}. Former HMs, such as {{m|Flash}}, are also learnable by level, but only since their loss of HM status.
* In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM are learnable, with Flash available by [[TM70]] and Dive available by [[move tutor]]. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Johto]]-based games, are both HM05.
* HM moves have so far been only of the {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Water}}-, and {{type2|Normal}}s.
*In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, a Trainer states "{{m|Surf}} is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when he is defeated. This is a reference to [[Generation I]], where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
* The only way to delete an HM move in the handheld games is to use the Move Deleter. HM moves ''can'' be replaced, however, in games where they are not HMs, such as {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, which allow any move to be replaced, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which allow {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Flash}}, and {{m|Whirlpool}} to be forgotten, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which allow {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Flash}} to be forgotten.
* The HM moves {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} have been in every main-series [[Pokémon]] game.
*[[Generation V]] is the first generation to have fewer HMs than the preceding [[Generation]].
*The {{badge|Mineral}} of Johto is the only badge which does not enable the use of an HM in any game it is present in.

The Official Pokémon Handbook

}}
'''The Official Pokémon Handbook''' by [[Maria S. Barbo]] (ISBN 0439103975) is a handbook that was published by [[Scholastic]] in July 1999, advertised as "your complete companion to all 150 Pokémon characters!" to serve as a rudimentary, paper version of a [[Pokédex]]. Despite this, and like many printed Pokémon books, it has multiple errors and misprints. It contains an entry for each of the original 150 [[Generation I]] Pokémon. A Deluxe Collector's Edition was published later with entries for {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Togepi}}.

==Entries==
The entries for each Pokémon are structured in an easy-to-read page setup. Each Pokémon has either an entire page to itself, or shares a page with another member of its evolutionary family.

Each entry is topped with a large box containing the Pokémon's name and [[National Pokédex]] number. The color of the box reflects the featured Pokémon's [[elemental type]].

Stock artwork of each Pokémon is the main focus of its entry page. Underneath the picture is a short description about the Pokémon, styled in a way that is similar to a Pokédex entry. Occasionally, a page will also contain a "Pokédex Pick", which is additional information about the Pokémon, often an anecdote about the Pokémon's appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The sidebar of each entry contains the following stats:
* Pronunciation
* [[Elemental types|Element]]
* [[Species|Type]]
* Height (in inches)
* Weight (in pounds)
* Techniques ([[move]]s the Pokémon will already know)
* Other Techniques (moves the Pokémon will learn as it levels up)
* Good Against (lists what type advantages it has over other Pokémon)
* Bad Against (type disadvantages against other Pokémon)
* Evolution (Normal, Stone, Trade, or None)
* Evolves at Level: __

Levels are not given for when Pokémon will learn techniques, although they are listed in the order in which they are learned. Moves learnable by [[TM]]s are not listed.

At the very bottom of the entry there are evolution chains to show what the Pokémon evolves into or evolved from. Pokémon that do not evolve or have not yet been revealed to evolve do not show an evolution chain.
[[File:TheOfficialPokémonHandbook.gif|thumb|right|200px|The first version]]

==Other content==
At the beginning of the book there is an introductory chapter titled "A Word From [[Professor Oak]]". The chapter describes the premise of the handbook and of the Pokémon world in general (this information is largely influenced by anime [[canon]]). It also contains a preface called ''The Pokémon Journey'', an illustrated map of the [[Kanto]] region, and another preface, ''Battle Basics'', as well as a ''How to use this book'' diagram.

At the end of the book, there is a list of ''Top 10 Ways to Care for your Pokémon'', some FAQs, and a checklist of all the Generation I Pokémon. The Deluxe Collector's Edition also has some more information on different characters from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Errors==
* The back cover asks "''Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Poliwag}}?''" While the change of direction is correct, Poliwag evolves into Poliwhirl, not the other way around.
* The entry for {{p|Venusaur}} lists its element as {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Poison}}, and then also lists its element as "Seed". This is a misprint, as while Grass/Poison is its elemental type, "seed" refers to its [[species]], not its element.
* In {{p|Beedrill}}'s entry, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled as "Pychic".
* In {{p|Lapras}}'s entry, its lower jaw is colored blue as opposed to the white in its official artwork.
* In the Deluxe Collector's Edition, Sabrina's profile states that "a very goofy Gengar taught her to smile." In fact, in the anime, it was [[Sabrina's Haunter|a Haunter]] who did this.
* Also, in Ash's bio for the Deluxe Collector's Edition, the list of Pokémon that Ash owns has {{AP|Pidgeot}} and {{AP|Lapras}}, despite the fact that by the time Lapras was caught by Ash, Pidgeot had already left the team, and should therefore have been on the list with the other Pokémon he used to own.
* The moves {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} are omitted from the original book.
* In {{p|Lickitung}}'s entry, it states that it will confuse is opponent with its {{m|Wrap}} technique and then attack a maximum of five times with its {{m|Supersonic}}, instead of the other way around.
* {{p|Pikachu}}'s entry states that its species as a whole has a natural dislike for being held inside [[Poké Ball]]s. This, however, only applies to [[Ash's Pikachu]].
* Koffing's page says that James said Koffing "smells like old sneakers soaked in stinkbug juice mixed with some rotten eggs and dead fish with just a touch of skunk fumes!", but when he said this in [[EP026]], he was referring to the scent of {{p|Gloom}}.
* {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}'s entries state that they do not evolve, yet both contain an evolution chain graphic suggesting that the former evolves into the latter.

==In other languages==
* Polish: '''{{tt|Wielka księga Pokémon. Złap je wszystkie!|Book of Pokémon. Catch them all!}}'''

Trainer card (TCG)

2011-05-12T00:59:00Z

EricDLee: image

[[Image:ProfessorJuniperBlackWhite101.jpg|thumb|right|A Supporter card, a subclass of Trainer cards, as of the BW era of the TCG.]]
A '''Trainer card''' is one of three types of card found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], alongside {{TCG|Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Energy card}}s. While Pokémon cards do the direct attacking of an opponent's cards and Energy cards power their attacks, Trainers provide a more supportive role, allowing a player to search through their deck, draw cards, or other special effects. During a player's turn, he or she may play a Trainer card from his or her hand, follow its instructions, and then discard it.

==Types==
Trainer cards can be divided into several different types.

===Item===
The original type of Trainer, a player can use as many Item cards as desired during his or her turn. Item cards have a wide range of effects and are useful at any point in the game. Trainer cards before {{TCG|Black & White}} that are not Supporters or Stadiums have been redefined as Item cards.

===Stadium===
{{main|Stadium card (TCG)}}
Introduced in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion, Stadium cards represent the field of play. When a player uses a Stadium card, it remains on the field indefinitely and may have an effect on both players. A Stadium card can usually only be removed from play when another Stadium card with a different name comes into play. Starting in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} expansion, Stadium cards became their own class of card, though they are still often grouped with Trainers by players, and no distinction is made from Trainer cards when they are compiled into an English set list. Starting in {{TCG|Black & White}}, however, Stadium cards once again became a subclass of Trainer cards.

===Supporter===
{{main|Supporter card (TCG)}}
Like Stadium cards, Supporter cards were formerly a subclass of Trainer cards until Diamond & Pearl, and at the release of Black & White they once again became a subclass of Trainer cards. Supporter cards often help the player draw cards, and as such, a player may only use one per turn.

===Rocket's Secret Machine===
Cards with this subclass will usually depict a device used for [[Team Rocket]]'s evil acts. They have usually been released in expansions with a focus on Team Rocket, the first of which was {{TCG|Team Rocket|named for the organization}}.

===Pokémon Tool===
In another similarity to the games' [[held item]]s, which were introduced in [[Generation II]], the Pokémon Tools released since the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion are attached to a Pokémon. A Pokémon may only have one Pokémon Tool attached to it, and it may not be removed unless specifically instructed.

===Goldenrod Game Corner===
While not much different from a standard Trainer card, cards in this subclass are based on games played in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]], and thus their effect is largely based on luck. Only two cards in this subclass exist.

===Technical Machine===
Playing a similar role to the [[TM|items of the same name]] in the games, a Technical Machine may be attached to a Pokémon card, and that Pokémon may then use the attack on the card as its own. Like in the games, most have a compatibility requirement (such as only being able to be used by cards of a certain {{TCG|Elemental types|type}}, or only by evolved Pokémon) and all those released before {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} are to be discarded from the Pokémon at the end of the turn they were played, no matter if the player had actually used the attack in question or not. These cards first saw a release in {{TCG|Pokémon VS}}; however, international audiences did not have access to them until the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}.

Talk:Flute

EricDLee: /* Selling the flutes in Undella Town */ new section

Are these types of pages necessary? Most items do not need their own pages, there just isn't much useful information about them to warrant a lone page about many of them. The Shoal Salt/Shell for instance already have sections that tell you most of what you really need to know. [[Shoal Salt]] and [[Shoal Shell]]. --[[User:PhoenixZero|Phoenix]] 22:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
:I made the [[Shoal Salt]] page to dispel the rumor that the Shoal Salt acts like the [[Leftovers]] in D/P, so I had to make the [[Shoal Shell]] page to be consistent. There is more information about the [[Sacred Ash]], as well as the [[Flute|Flutes]], so that is why I made those pages. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 22:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

== Black Flute ==

Is there any information about how the Black Flute loses effectiveness? After a certain amount of steps, after you enter a new area or after a wild Pokémon is encountered? --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 07:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:Does it?--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 07:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::Says so on the page. And anyway, it would be ridiculous to just play it once, then have infinite effectiveness for it on that save file. --[[User:Jayc|Jayc]] 08:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:::If the page does not include further explanatory information then the validity of the statement must be subject to scrutiny. Non-sequitur remarks are not encyclopedic and do not constitute thoroughness. --[[User:PharosAM|PharosAM]]

== Okay guys seriously ==

They're called "vidros". Means "glass" in Portuguese, but ''we're translating from Japanese here''. A vidro is a specific type of flute, and this is '''not''' the list of key items in Generation III or Generation IV. Poké Flute and Azure Flute go ''there''. Time Flute has its own page. '''THIS IS FOR THE FIVE YOU GET BY BLOWING GLASS, OKAY?''' '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

== Selling the flutes in Undella Town ==

While the flutes can be sold cheaply in marts, I believe that the man in the Undella Town villa will buy them from you for about 7500 Poké Dollars. Should this be mentioned somewhere? --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 21:24, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

'''Follow Me''' (Japanese: '''このゆびとまれ''' ''Stay With This Finger'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III to IV===
Follow Me forces opposing Pokémon to attack the user rather than the intended target during double battles. This is an increased [[priority]] move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

If the user's partner is switching out, Follow Me will not divert an opponent from using {{m|Pursuit}} on its partner. Follow Me does not stop the effects of moves which hit multiple Pokémon in a battle.

===Generation V===
In [[triple battle]]s, Follow Me will draw the attacks of all adjacent opponents in the field; it will only draw attacks from non-adjacent opponents if they use a move which is able to strike non-adjacent targets (e.g. {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}).

'''Rage Powder''' (Japanese: '''いかりのこな''' ''Rage Powder'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Rage Powder forces opposing Pokémon to attack the user rather than the intended target during [[double battle|double]] and [[triple battle|triple]] battles. This is an increased [[priority]] move, and therefore will always go before attacks during the turn.

If the user's partner is switching out, Rage Powder will not divert an opponent from using {{m|Pursuit}} on its partner. Rage Powder does not stop the effects of moves which hit multiple Pokémon in a battle.

In triple battles, Rage Powder will draw the attacks of all adjacent opponents in the field. In addition, if a non-adjacent Pokémon uses a move which is able to hit non-adjacent Pokémon, (e.g. {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}) it will draw the move to itself.

Giant Pokémon

2011-02-19T23:41:09Z

EricDLee: /* Intro */

'''Giant Pokémon''', while rarely playing a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon anime]]. There are several episodes that have a plot revolving around unusually large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through.

==Giant Pokémon in other media==
Giant Pokémon occasionally turn up in the video games and manga series.

In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it's possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. A Fisherman on {{rt|222|Sinnoh}} will reward the player if he is shown a Pokémon that is larger than usual. In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], {{Ash}} catches a giant {{p|Slowpoke}} in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''. He later gives it to Gary in exchange for his sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], a giant {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocks {{rt|36|Johto}}. It turns out that the Sudowoodo is giant because of dried mud covering its body.

'''PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure''' (Japanese: '''ポケパークＷｉｉピカチュウの大冒険''' ''Poké Park Wii Pikachu's Great Adventure'') is a [[Pokémon]] game for [[Wii]]. It was released in Japan on December 5, 2009, in Europe on July 9, 2010, and in North America on November 1, 2010.

The {{player}} takes control of a {{p|Pikachu}} and travels through many zones each of which has one or two mini-games called Attractions, where the player will receive a [[Sky Prism|Sky Prism Piece]] for achieving a bonus score. In each of these games, working together with other Pokémon is required to succeed. Over the course of the game, more and more Pokémon will be befriended, and they will help the player achieve higher scores in Attractions.

Several aspects of this game are repeated from previous games. The player acting as a Pokémon was previously used in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, and [[photography]] was the central feature of [[Pokémon Snap]].

==Story==
{{spoiler}}
One day while playing with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Chikorita}}, a kind hearted {{p|Pikachu}} encountered {{p|Mew}}. Mew joined in the festivities and led the group to a small hole in the ground. Pikachu is then accidentally shoved into the hole and falls into a whole other world inhabited only by Pokémon. Pikachu's friends, worried about his well being, jumped in after him. After landing, Pikachu sees Mew in a dream who explains that a terrible fate has befallen on the PokéPark because of an ancient stone, the Sky Prism, has shattered into 14 shards and scattered across the PokéPark.

The player, acting as the Pikachu, must solve the crisis that has befallen the PokéPark. The player will explore various Zones within the PokéPark, each very different to the last: Meadow Zone, Beach Zone, Iceberg Zone, Cavern Zone, Lava Zone, Haunted Zone, Granite Zone, and the Flower Zone, along with the Sky Pavilion. Each Zone has various Attractions, which comprise the main challenges in the game. The player will receive a Sky Prism Piece at each Attraction the first time they achieve a bonus score.

As Pikachu befriends other Pokémon, each will become playable in different Attractions, opening up a wealth of possibilities to make strategic use of different Pokémon's specific strengths.

Many of these befriended Pokémon will challenge the player to a Skill Game, such as Hide-and-Seek and Chase – all games that will allow the player to build friendships with the challenger by defeating them.

Once all 14 Prism Pieces are retrieved, the player visits the Sky Pavilion where they finally restore the Sky Prism to its original shape.

==Features==
===PokéPark Pad===
The PokéPark Pad provides access to an important game menu, it is received by {{p|Chatot}} at PokéPark's entrance. It allows the player to view the amount of berries Pikachu is currently holding, the amount of friends Pikachu has, the remaining Camera film, Pikachu's profile picture (chosen at the file selection screen) and allows access to three menus.

====Pikachu's Stats====
The first menu is named "Pikachu's Stats" and provides information about Pikachu's potential [[HP]], [[Stats#Speed|Dash]], {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} stats. A full bar means that the stat is complete and can no longer be updated at the [[Meeting Center]], whilst an empty bar means that Pikachu hasn't acquired the stat yet. The HP and Dash stats are learned by default at the beginning of the game. While not technically an attack, Pikachu's Dash skill can be used the same way as a {{m|Tackle}} or a {{m|Quick Attack}}

====Friend List====
The friend list is a list of Pokémon which have become Pikachu's friends, and serves a similar role as the [[Pokédex]]. Throughout the game Pikachu is able to befriend a total of 193 Pokémon, some of these require passwords and for certain Attractions to have all its bonuses achieved. Pokémon are not listed in [[National Dex]] number and are instead listed by the notation "P.", {{p|Chatot}} is the first available Pokémon to befriend. Throughout the game the player can also have Pokémon become Best friends. Friends are identified as a pink journal icon, whereas Best Friends are identified with a rainbow colored journal icon. Many Pokémon must be challenged multiple times to qualify as Best Friend, while some automatically qualify (such as Charmander, Piplup, and Chikorita). Though whether a Pokémon is a Friend or Best Friend serves no real purpose to the main storyline.

====Save game====
The save game option allows players to save the game, before prompting the player whether to continue the adventure. A save does not record the player's exact location but only the game map itself. Loading the save brings Pikachu to the map's default starting point.

===Photography===
PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventures features the ability to take pictures from the game similar to previous WiiWare games. This allows players to easily transfer photos from the game to an SD Card, however the game only allows a maximum of 30 photos to be taken at a time.

==Currency==
Berries are the main currency in PokéPark, and they are required to enter the various Attractions, stat lessons, and various other things. Attractions accessible later in the game usually cost more berries, for example {{P|Bastiodon}}'s Block Barrage costs 20 berries and {{P|Bulbasaur}}'s Daring Dash costs 5 berries. They come in three different colors, each worth different amounts. Green is worth 10 berries, Red is worth 20 berries, and Gold is worth 50 or 100 berries. They can be found within crates, in trees, and given away when the player win a Skill Game or an Attraction.

==Locations==
The PokéPark contains a total of eight zones; [[Meadow Zone]], [[Beach Zone]], [[Iceberg Zone]], [[Cavern Zone]], [[Lava Zone]], [[Haunted Zone]], [[Granite Zone]], and the [[Flower Zone]]. These are managed by several zone keepers; {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Empoleon}} {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Rotom}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}} who also run their own attractions. Other locations include the [[PokéPark Entrance]], the [[Meeting Place]], and the [[Sky Pavilion]].

==Skill Games==
'''Skill Games''' (Japanese: '''ちからくらべ''' ''Strength Trial'') are challenges of strength, wit, and speed various Pokémon require the player to take part in to win their friendship

===Chase===
Chase is a game where participants have to capture or tag the other participant Pokémon in a certain span of time. {{M|Thunderbolt}} can be used to stun the fleeing Pokémon, especially {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to make the chase easier but if the time limit runs out Pikachu loses.

===Battle===
Battles, unlike the main series of turn based Pokémon games involve Pikachu actively moving around the screen and attacking the opponent. Pikachu can deplete the opponent's health bar via a [[Dash]] attack, {{m|Thunderbolt}} strike or {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, although Ground-type Pokémon such as {{p|Torterra}} are only momentarily stunned by Thunderbolt and are not harmed by the attack. This also applies to Electric-type Pokémon and some others that would normally be somewhat effected such as {{p|Breloom}}. Additionally, hitting a Pokémon into a body of water counts as a win regardless of its current HP.

===Hide-and-Seek===
Hide-and-Seek is a game where participants have to locate the other Pokémon within a time limit. If Pikachu is close to the Pokémon it's voice can be heard, suggesting that it is close-by. Similarly, if Pikachu is traveling a long distance away from the Pokémon the game will inform the player that they are going in the wrong direction.

===Quiz===
A few Pokémon, such as {{p|Corsola}} and {{p|Delibird}}, will choose to ask the player whether they want to participate in a quiz minigame. Three multiple choice questions are asked with three choices for every question. There is no time limit, although if the player gets one question wrong Pikachu will have to take the quiz again, often with different questions.

===Obstacle Hop===
The Obstacle Hop is less common and is only run by a few Pokémon such as a {{p|Spearow}} in the [[Meadow Zone]], a {{p|Machamp}} in the [[Cavern Zone]], a {{p|Togekiss}} in the [[Granite Zone]], and eventually {{p|Mew}} at the end of main storyline. The minigame involves Pikachu jumping from different obstacles with the aim of reaching the opponent within a certain time limit. Falling is allowed, although time lost will not be restored and Pikachu is sent back to the first obstacle. In {{p|Machamp}}'s Obstacle Hop, Pikachu must also dodge boulders being thrown at him; and in {{p|Togekiss}}'s Obstacle Hop, Pikachu must avoid {{m|Air Slash}}.

==Attractions==
Each Attraction is a mini-game designed to test the player's skills. All attractions require berries to play. The cheapest being 5 berries and the most being 40. The amount of berries spent to play an attraction determines the amount of berries earned when the player achieves the bonus score. A Sky Prism Piece is awarded to the player when an Attraction bonus is achieved for the first time. Players must clear each zone's Attractions to make progress in the adventure. After beating the game, stronger Pokémon (often legendary Pokémon) can be unlocked by achieving the bonus requirements for all possible playable Pokémon in that attraction. Pikachu is an exception to this rule, however, since the player needs a password for him to have access to certain attractions. The unlockable Pokémon is always the best possible candidate for playing the respective attraction.

==Trivia==
* There appears to be a typo in the dialogue string ..."not so far away are your Empoleon?", prior to thawing the door to {{P|Empoleon}}'s Snow Slide with the help of {{p|Mamoswine}}'s charge attack, where it is presumable that "your" should have been replaced with "you" instead.
** A similar typo is found in the {{pmin|Germany|German}} version. When {{p|Munchlax}} thanks the player, ''"PokéPark"'' is misspelled as ''"ParkPoké"'' in the dialogue string.
** Another misspelling typo is found on Treecko's description: ''"He works for Venusaur in the Meadow Zone. He blocked the bride to stop anyone playing, but really he loves the Attractions to be found there!"''. It should be ''bridge'' instead of ''bride''.
*** This typo has been fixed in newer versions of the game.
*In a similar fashion to [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] and [[Pokémon Channel]], this game features the anime voices rather than the game cries.
** Despite {{p|Porygon-Z}} never making an anime appearance, it receives a voice in this game as well.
* {{p|Kyogre}} and the [[Legendary golems|golems]] are the only Generation III legendaries not to make an appearance in the game.
**Similarly, {{p|Mew}} is the only Generation I legendary to make an appearance in the game.
** Also, Suicune is the only Legendary Beast to make an appearance in this game.
* The logo uses the same font as the [[PokéPark|PokéPark theme park]] logo.
* The [[Cavern Zone]] and the [[Flower Zone]] are the only two zones not to be inhabited by one of the [[Eeveelutions|evolutions of Eevee]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon that can play in every single attraction.
** However, Pikachu must have a certain item, such as a surfboard, to play some attractions.

List of unused Pokémon and character designs

2011-02-14T01:44:38Z

EricDLee: /* Altered Pokémon */

There are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product.

==Unreleased Pokémon==

<big><big><center>Kurusu </center></big><big>
|-
| [[File:Alpha kurusu.png|200px|Kurusu]]
| The only known information about this creature is its name and image. While it resembles a seal, this image appeared in magazines ''after'' the release of {{2v2|Red|Green}} so while many fans believe it may have been an early version of {{p|Seel}}, this may not be true because Seel already existed at the time. However, it is most likely a {{type2|Water}} and could have been a scrapped pre-evolution for {{p|Lapras}} or an extremely early version of a member of the {{p|Spheal}} evolution family. In the alpha of Gold and Silver, its National Pokédex number was 212, it was a {{type2|Water}}, and knew the moves Growl, Water Gun, and Tackle. Despite the numbering, it was the Water-type starter in the alpha demos.

<big><big><center>Honōguma </center></big><big>
|-
| [[File:Alpha honouguma.png|200px|Honōguma]]
| Honōguma's name is a combination of 炎 ''honō'' for flame, and 熊 ''kuma'' for bear. Like Kurusu above, its name and image are all that is known. While not confirmed, its name almost definitely means it was a {{type2|Fire}}. It bears a slight resemblance to {{p|Raichu}}, but doesn't share the same type or species of animal (Raichu being a rodent and Honōguma being a bear), so it is highly unlikely it was related to it. Given its name refers to it as a bear, it could have been an early version of the {{p|Teddiursa}} evolution family, or, while not a bear, but having the same bipedal stance and being Fire-type, an early version of the {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolution family. In the alpha it was a {{type2|Fire}}, and knew the moves Ember, Scratch, and Leer; and was the Fire-type starter.
|-

<big><big><center>Unnamed creature </center></big><big>
|-
| [[File:Alpha top.png|200px|Unnamed creature]]
| [[File:237Hitmontop GS.png|110px|right]] This strange creature appeared as art but was never given a name. Its extremely odd appearance is somewhat similar to {{p|Hitmontop}}; namely the multiple feet around its midsection. Although this creature has its point located on its bottom, and Hitmontop has its point located on its head, this creature is most likely a very early version of Hitmontop, possibly before the designers decided to add it to the {{p|Tyrogue}} evolution line. It also resembles {{p|Clefairy}} and may have been a very early version of {{p|Cleffa}}.
|-

<big><big><center>Unnamed turtle </center></big><big>
|-
| [[File:Alpha turtle.png|200px|Unnamed turtle]]
| [[File:564Purotoga.png|200px|right]] Nothing is known about this turtle Pokémon. Notably, it barely resembles anything that was released in Generation II. Some fans have speculated it may have been an alternative take on {{p|Magcargo}} or {{p|Donphan}} or maybe an extremely early, and different take on {{p|Corsola}} or {{p|Pupitar}}. Also, the fact that its just a head sticking out of a shell, somewhat resembles that of {{p|Shuckle}}. The Pokémon it most closely resembled was {{p|Squirtle}}, but Squirtle was in Red and Green, which pre-dates the appearance of this image. {{p|Torkoal}} from [[Generation III]], and the {{p|Turtwig}} evolution family from [[Generation IV]] bear the closest resemblance prior to its appearance, but it is highly unlikely they are related. It also bears a striking resemblance to {{p|Purutoga}} and {{p|Chobomaki}}, both from [[Generation V]].

| Nothing is known about this Pokémon, nor is there any artwork of it known to exist. An interview in @Gamer magazine with Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori, directors of development and art respectively at Game Freak, revealed that there was a rejected Pokémon design, based off of the {{wp|Dolly (sheep)|first cloned sheep}}, but it was deemed to be "too controversial."

| {{main|Chikorita (Pokémon)}} [[File:152Chikorita GS.png|110px|right]] Happa's name simply means "leaf" in Japanese. Happa is the early version of Chikorita. Happa resembles Chikorita without its body and legs. It isn't known why the design was changed, but without the body and legs, Chikorita would have been significantly smaller than the other two Generation II starters; {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}. In the alpha, it was Pokémon 152 and knew the moves Leech Seed, Tackle, and an unknown move called "Serene".

| {{main|Ledyba (Pokémon)}} [[File:165Ledyba.png|100px|right]] An early version of Ledyba. Unlike the final design, it has a black abdomen rather than a cream colored one. It also has a single pair of hands, and a pair of feet, and it apppears to be headless, with its eyes and antenna attached to its body.

| {{main|Marill (Pokémon)}} [[File:183Marill GS.png|100px|right]] An early version of Marill. While they are recognizably similar, they are visually quite different. The pink/purple color is the main difference as well as the notably missing large ears. It also sports a thinner body, more resembling a rodent, but does not sport Marill's erratic tail pattern, though with this being a concept art, small details were most likely not a concern at the time.

| {{main|Girafarig (Pokémon)}} [[File:203Girafarig GS.png|right]] This concept art of Girafarig shows the original design contained two full-sized giraffe heads, instead of the final version's one. This design is likely a reference to its palindromic name. It is also unknown why the design was changed, but overall it remains mostly similar outside of some coloring differences (though, because this is concept art, specific coloring details were most likely not considered at the time).

|-
| [[File:Alpha bukuu.png|200px|Bukū]]
| {{main|Qwilfish (Pokémon)}} [[File:211Qwilfish GS.png|right]] Bukū's name is derived from "fugu", the Japanese word for blowfish. It is most likely an early version of Qwilfish. Notable differences between Qwilfish and this pre-release version are the colors, and shape of the tail. However, the shape of the tail does appear slightly similar to the length of the tail in Qwilfish's [[Generation II]] back sprite. However, this was just an error and no other generation shows Qwilfish's tail that short.

| [[File:Alpha tyranitar.png|200px|Tyranitar]]
| {{main|Tyranitar (Pokémon)}} [[File:248Tyranitar GS.png|right]] This early version of Tyranitar is nearly identical to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It was shown alongside two unnamed Pokémon (seen in the section above) on the cover of a Japanese gaming magazine, where it was the only early design to become a released Pokémon. Strangely, it has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan rather than indigo belly, has arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. It seems peculiar that Tyranitar was nearly completed at the time, but the other two featured Pokémon were never seen in their original designs.

In appearance, it more closely resembles Blaziken. However, some features, including the size, are more similar to Latias. Some of its features don't resemble those of either Pokémon, such a the hands. There is an unused Trainer riding it. It is very difficult to tell what this trainer's role in the games was as she barely resembles anyone. Whether she was a player character, rival, or supporting character is currently unknown.

These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon were planned to be in Generation III. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its West Sea variation, and seems to combine the western variation's head with the Eastern variation's body, while Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its Western variation, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body. Gastrodon's Platinum Pokédex entry appears to reference its beta sprite.

| [[File:Red, Green and Blue Adventures.png|right|150px]] This art of a female {{player|character}} (with {{p|Squirtle}}) looks similar to {{adv|Green}}, as seen to the right. The image was shown on the boxes for the games, as well as in official strategy guides. It is unknown if she was ever intended to be a playable character, like {{ga|Red}}, or if she was supposed to be a supporting character, and act similar to the partner/rival of the player in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. When Red and Green were later [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remade]], players finally got the chance to use a {{ga|Leaf|female character}}. It is possible she was based on this character, namely due to the near exact resemblance of this character and Green, who later donned the same outfit as this character in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. The lower artwork additionally raises the possibility of the female character being planned to appear in a [[Generation I]] game, showing that the same character has been used in several artworks.

As with the female Trainer, it is unknown if he was designed as a main character, or supporting character, or was simply representing a Trainer class. However, singling the Trainer class is difficult as the image is small, and low quality. He has notable hints of multiple classes, such as a {{tc|Tamer}}, {{tc|Psychic}}, {{tc|Juggler}}, {{tc|Burglar}}, {{tc|PokéManiac}}, {{tc|Gamer|Gambler}}, and even a male {{tc|Rocket Executive}}.

Attack (TCG)

2010-12-17T01:56:44Z

EricDLee: /* Intro */

[[File:GengarStormfront18.jpg|right|200px|thumb|[[Gengar_(Stormfront_18)|Gengar]] has two attacks: Shadow Room and Poltergeist. Fainting Spell is a [[Glossary (TCG)#Poké-Power|Poké-Power]], which is not an attack.]]
Attacks are skills that a Pokémon card can use in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Nearly every Pokémon card has at least one attack. During a player's turn, he or she may use an attack printed on his or her [[Glossary (TCG)#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]]. When a player uses an attack, that player's turn ends.

==Attack cost==
Every attack has an attack cost, which is printed as energy symbols to the left of the attack name. A Pokémon card can only use an attack if it has enough [[Energy]] attached to it to pay for that attack's cost. Energy only needs to be attached to the Pokémon; unless explicitly stated otherwise, all Energy cards remain attached to a Pokémon after it attacks.

Some attacks have an attack cost of zero, represented by an empty hole, which means that a Pokémon can use that attack without any Energy attached to it. Most attacks require Energy, however, and their costs are represented by a line of Energy symbols. For each symbol, the Pokémon must have a corresponding Energy attached to it. {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy requirements may be fulfilled by any kind of Energy, while all other Energy requirements must be fulfilled by that particular Energy: for example, in order to use an attack with a cost of one {{TCG|Fire}} Energy and one {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy, at least one Fire Energy and one of any other Energy must be attached to the attacking Pokémon.

==Name==
Every attack has a name, which is printed in large black text to the right of the attack cost.

==Damage==
Most attacks deal damage. The amount of damage an attack deals is written to the right of the attack name as a large black number, conventionally divisible by 10. If a Pokémon uses an attack that deals damage, put a damage counter on the opponent's Active Pokémon (the [[Glossary (TCG)#Defending Pokémon|Defending Pokémon]]) for each 10 damage the attack does.

Various symbols next to the number indicate whether the damage will vary. These symbols are for distinguishing purposes; the stipulations of the damage variation are defined in the attack text.

== Attack text ==

Many attacks have additional text beyond their name and damage. This text is printed in small black font underneath the cost, name, and damage. The text details additional effects and/or requirements of the attack. The text may alter the amount of damage dealt by the attack. Unless otherwise specified, card text is mandatory.

EricDLee: /* Intro */

Attacks are skills that a Pokémon card can use in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Nearly every Pokémon card has at least one attack. During a player's turn, he or she may use an attack printed on his or her [[Glossary (TCG)#Active Pokémon|Active Pokémon]]. When a player uses an attack, that player's turn ends.

==Attack cost==
Every attack has an attack cost, which is printed as energy symbols to the left of the attack name. A Pokémon card can only use an attack if it has enough [[Energy]] attached to it to pay for that attack's cost. Energy only needs to be attached to the Pokémon; unless explicitly stated otherwise, all Energy cards remain attached to a Pokémon after it attacks.

Some attacks have an attack cost of zero, represented by an empty hole, which means that a Pokémon can use that attack without any Energy attached to it. Most attacks require Energy, however, and their costs are represented by a line of Energy symbols. For each symbol, the Pokémon must have a corresponding Energy attached to it. {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy requirements may be fulfilled by any kind of Energy, while all other Energy requirements must be fulfilled by that particular Energy: for example, in order to use an attack with a cost of one {{TCG|Fire}} Energy and one {{TCG|Colorless}} Energy, at least one Fire Energy and one of any other Energy must be attached to the attacking Pokémon.

==Name==
Every attack has a name, which is printed in large black text to the right of the attack cost.

==Damage==
Most attacks deal damage. The amount of damage an attack deals is written to the right of the attack name as a large black number, conventionally divisible by 10. If a Pokémon uses an attack that deals damage, put a damage counter on the opponent's Active Pokémon (the [[Glossary (TCG)#Defending Pokémon|Defending Pokémon]]) for each 10 damage the attack does.

== Template ==
The template says it only lasts for 3 days, why is this? [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 15:50, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
: Will someone please answer me? [[User:Gliscorguy54|Gliscorguy54]] 16:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
::You can only have the template up for 3 days. It wouldn't be fair to keep the page reserved for a whole month. So, choose wisely and only place the template when you are sure you have 3 days to complete your entry. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 18:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Multiple entries ==

I read the page backwards and forwards, and I just wanted to make sure: ''can we have more than one entry?'' I'd like to get confirmation before I go off and work on all {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} of the articles and submit every single one of the diffs. Thanks. '''chief[[User:Chiefboz|boz]]''' ''(my [[User talk:Chiefboz|talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/Chiefboz|contributions]])'' 23:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

== Different Country ==

Hi. Just wondering, can people from other countries enter? I live in Australia so I'm not sure what would happen if I, somehow, won. Sorry if this was mentioned on the page already! --[[User:Rankurusu|Rankurusu]] 05:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Does the contest apply to creating pages, or turning redirects into pages (specifically the status ailment pages)? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:12, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
:It applies to any edit. If you wanted to turn the Paralysis redirect into a page (for example), then it would certainly be considered. Just a note for people reading this though, pages which redirect because they are considered not notable will be turned back into redirects. So don't bother trying to enter a page like [[Rudy's Starmie]]. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

==Size of Edit==

:Im still kinda new to the whole editing deal, although I have typed up some synopsis for episodes before I haven't really edited an entire page in order to make it complete. So I was wondering how much change would I have to make to a page in order to be considered. And also how would I go about submitting an edited page.--[[User:Terry08|Terry08]] 10:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
::Any entry will be considered, but the more you can improve the page, the more likely you are to win. To submit your page, go to the page and click on the history tab at the top. Click the radio button on the left for the last edit by someone else before you started, and the radio button on the right for your last edit. Then click the "Compare selected revisions" button. That will take you to what's called a "diff", showing you everything that has been changed on the page during those edits. Copy the URL and follow the instructions at the top of [[Bulbapedia:Christmas Improvement Drive/contestants|this page]]. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 17:59, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Walkthroughs ==

I'm considering revamping a walkthrough for my entry. How should I go about doing this? Should I submit just the main page or all of the section pages? --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 00:43, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:You should be submitting a "diff". You can obtain a "diff" by going to the history of the article and choosing your revision and the previous revision, and then clicking "Compare revision". After that, you copy the URL of that "diff" and submit that. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::I was wondering if a walkthrough diff counts as one sumbission, or if I should submit individual diffs for each section I edit. --[[User:EricDLee|EricDLee]] 01:10, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:::If you're doing more than one page (I assume this is what you meant by each section), then you are welcome submit diffs of each individual page. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
::::For example, if I revamped the entire [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Appendix:FireRed_and_LeafGreen_walkthrough FRLG Walkthrough], would I submit one diff or seventeen diffs? {{unsigned|EricDLee}}
:::::You can submit all of the 17 diffs, but each entry/diff would get judged individually. Therefore, only one entry of yours can be eligible to win. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Animated series move errors

2010-12-08T00:22:06Z

EricDLee: /* Less blatant examples */

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games.

It should also be noted that occasionally [[Nintendo]] will make available Pokémon that can be transferred onto the games with a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).

==Less blatant examples==
[[File:Espeon Zap Cannon.png|thumb|200px|right|Espeon's Zap Cannon in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'']]
* During {{AP|Caterpie}}'s battle with {{AP|Pidgeotto}} in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'', {{Ash}} tells Caterpie to use {{m|Counter}}; however, Caterpie cannot learn Counter, yet this doesn't stop it from attempting (and failing) to use it anyway.
* In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', [[James]] ordered [[James's Weezing|his Koffing]] to use {{m|Poison Gas}}. At the time of the episode airing, Koffing was unable to learn Poison Gas by any means. However, in Generation II and onwards, Koffing became able to use the move.
* In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica]] tells her {{tp|Duplica|Ditto}} to use {{m|Constrict}} on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] after {{m|Transform}}ing into said Bulbasaur. {{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot learn Constrict by any means. However, Ditto obeyed, implying that Ash's Bulbasaur may know Constrict.
** Similarly, in ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', when [[Mini-Dit]] {{m|transform}}s into Totodile, Duplica tells it to use {{m|Tackle}} on Totodile. But {{AP|Totodile}} cannot learn Tackle at all. However, it attacked, showing that Ash's Totodile probably knows Tackle.
* In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', {{an|Misty}} gets stuck with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} in her battle with Ash. Ash doesn't battle seriously and has {{AP|Bulbasaur}} simply lick Psyduck's head and tickle it with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves {{m|Lick}} and {{m|Tickle}}, the latter of which was later introduced in [[Generation III]]. Bulbasaur still cannot learn Lick or Tickle. It is worth noting, however, that Ash's specific words were "Use Tickle!".
* In ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TR|Meowth}} fight against the giant {{p|Rhydon}}. When Meowth jumps on Rhydon's back, he states that he should try a {{m|Tickle}} attack, and then acts like he would. However, Meowth cannot learn Tickle in any generation yet, and as mentioned with Bulbasaur, Tickle was not introduced until Generation III.
* In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', a {{p|Steelix}} uses {{m|Wrap}}. Steelix cannot learn Wrap, but it can learn {{m|Bind}} (a slightly less accurate version of Wrap with the same effect).
* In ''[[AG016|Winner By a Nosepass!]]'', [[Roxanne]] commands her {{p|Nosepass}} to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} which it cannot in the game. These errors were picked up on in the dub, and the references to Hyper Beam were replaced with {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}} (which can be learned by Nosepass).
**However, there is evidence that the original version script made a mistake and called it Hyper Beam when it was supposed to be an electric attack. This is seen in {{AP|Pikachu}} being able to absorb Hyper Beam as if it were an electric attack. It also had physical similarities to an electric attack and did not look like a typical Hyper Beam.
* In ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'', a wild {{p|Nuzleaf}} blew on a leaf to make Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}' Pokémon drowsy. This attack is strikingly similar to {{m|GrassWhistle}}; a move that Nuzleaf can't learn in the games. However, some of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries ''do'' state that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute.
* [[Brock's Ludicolo]] knows {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and while it can learn both of those through {{pkmn|breeding}}, it cannot know both of them at once.
* In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]'', {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s {{p|Espeon}} uses {{m|Zap Cannon}}, which, though impossible to have in [[Generation III]] or {{gen|IV}}, was available to teach to Espeon by [[TM07]] in [[Generation II]].
[[File:DP072.png|thumb|200px|right|Riolu using Aura Sphere]]
* In ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind!]]'', some {{p|Drifloon}} were used to fly around the area. However, they did not use the actual move {{m|Fly}} (which is just as well, as they are unable to learn the said move). The Pokédex specifically states that a Drifloon can't carry the weight of children - however, three are used at any given time. Similarly, it is also possible for Drifloon to carry players across short distances in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
* In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', the fact that {{p|Bronzor}} cannot learn {{m|Teleport}} was also picked up by the producers of the dub, and the appearance of it using Teleport was cut from the episode.
* ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'' feature [[Aura Sphere Riolu|a Riolu]] that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}. This is due to its unique ability to manipulate [[aura]] prior to evolution. This episode is directly based on a mission from {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} featuring a similar Riolu. This is the only way a Riolu that knows Aura Sphere is available in the games. This error is quite clearly a unique property of the Riolu because it is mentioned in the aforementioned episode itself.
** Similarly, ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' features a {{p|Heatran}} that can use {{m|Eruption}}. This is a reference to a mission from {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.
* Pokémon often use their tongues to attack, but are not actually using the move {{m|Lick}}.
** In ''[[AG029|Ready, Willing, and Sableye]]'', {{p|Sableye}} uses its tongue to attack [[May's Torchic]].
** In ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So!]]'', [[Misty's Politoed]] uses its tongue to attack, resembling Lick.
