'''Jynx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルージュラ''' ''Rougela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Smoochum}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Jynx Foot.png|thumb|left|230px|Jynx's foot]]
Jynx is a bipedal, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a woman. It has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes, and long blonde hair. It wears a red gown with two gold circlets on the chest. While the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'' showed it to possess feet, the games show only blackness under the dress, and it lacks a [[footprint]]. Despite this, it is able to learn the kicking move {{m|Triple Axel}}. It has white arms and five-fingered purple hands. Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Originally, its face was colored black. [[Pokémon Stadium]]'s fainting animation had it disappear, leaving only its hair behind and implying that what appears to be dark-colored skin is actually just darkness.

Jynx has a language that sounds similar to human speech and includes several cry patterns. However, this language has yet to be deciphered. It prefers to communicate by using dance-like movements. There are some musicians who compose songs for Jynx to sing. These rhythmic movements often cause people to dance along with it. The Jynx in [[Alola]] are said to have wonderful precise movements. In certain parts of [[Galar]], it has been feared and worshiped while being called the "Queen of Ice". The Jynx in Galar are said to have beautiful and delicate voices and a fanbase dedicated to them. Jynx are able to extend their lips to kiss its opponent. Jynx is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Jynx is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Lovely Kiss}} by leveling up.

* A [[Capsule Monsters]] [[Media:Capsule Monsters Buhi.jpg|concept sketch]] depicts an unused Pokémon design with the same [[Pokédex]] number as Jynx.
* Jynx's sprites in the [[Virtual Console]] re-release of {{game|Yellow}} use five colors instead of four. To achieve this effect, some of the 8×8 tiles composing the sprite use an altered palette, where black is replaced with purple, which is technically possible on a [[Game Boy Color]] game.
* [[Pokémon Stadium series|The Pokémon Stadium games]] feature a kicking animation for Jynx, in which its feet appear out of nowhere, disconnected from its body, to perform moves such as {{m|Mega Kick}}. This is one of the rare instances where its feet can be seen in the games, considering Jynx's lack of [[footprint]]s.
* Jynx is the only Pokémon to have {{a|Dry Skin}} as its [[Hidden Ability]].
* [[Pokémon HOME]] features an unused [[cry]] of Jynx that uses a file name and reverb consistent with that of a [[Mega Evolution]].<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME#Unused_Pokémon_Forms The Cutting Room Floor page]</ref>
* Jynx is the only Pokémon whose English name does not include a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U).

===Controversies===
====Sexism====
In September 1999, Mary C. Morton released an article in The Washington Post titled "Pokemon: The Dark Side"<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1999/09/04/pokemon-the-dark-side/4f23cd94-bdd9-4fd4-a92e-77ed3e1eba61/ Morton, M.C. (1999). Pokemon: The Dark Side in The Washington Post. Accessed: 2 Sep. 2024]</ref> where she, alongside other critiques of Pokémon in general, criticised Jynx's design on the grounds of sexism, criticising Jynx's "explicitly, albeit grossly caricatured, womanly features" in [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], bringing up its sensational descriptions of its hips and {{m|Lovely Kiss}}.

====Racism====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|Jynx's original design in the animated series|150px]]
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Jynx|Pokémon controversies → Jynx}}
In January 2000, cultural critic {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} condemned Jynx as a negative African-American stereotype in ''Black World Today'', comparing it to racist figures from ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', {{wp|drag queen}}s, and the similarly controversial {{wp|Mr. Popo}} from {{wp|Dragon Ball}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080925070143/http://hk.geocities.com/hksar_dolphin/cbw1.htm Weatherford, C.B. (2000). Politically Incorrect Pokemon in Black World Today. Accessed 2 Sep. 2024]</ref> This led to significant changes: Jynx's sprites in Western [[Pokémon games]] were altered, and episodes of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' featuring its original design were cut from international airings. [[Game Freak]] revised Jynx's skin color to purple, which was reflected in later games and in the animated series, also correcting Jynx's arms from red to white. Recolored versions of affected episodes updating Jynx's depiction were also made available on Japanese Blu-ray and streaming services. Manga reissues have since used a dark gray hue for Jynx instead of black. Jynx's face was also recolored purple on manga covers and in [[Virtual Console]] game re-releases. Some fans speculate Jynx may instead have other origins, such as from {{wp|gyaru}} fashion, though this has faced criticism on the grounds of relevance.<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Jynx}}
Jynx's first documented design can be seen in ''[[Satoshi Tajiri: The Man Who Created Pokémon]]'', a biographical manga about [[Satoshi Tajiri]], dating Jynx's design to around 1992-1993.<ref>[https://helixchamber.com/2018/08/07/tajiri-manga/ A Closer Look at the Satoshi Tajiri Biographical Manga]</ref> Game Freak's headquarters was in close proximity to Shibuya 109, which was a common gathering place for ギャル ''{{wp|gyaru}}'' street fashion in the 1980s and 1990s; gyaru, being a sub-culture of primarily women who wear fake tan and bleached hair, is a likely inspiration for Jynx's design. This is played upon further with {{p|Smoochum}}, referencing the trend of gyaru-mamas raising their children in their image.

The original Jynx's black skin and prominent lips bore a resemblance to "blackface" or "darky" iconography. Jynx's depiction as [[Santa Claus|Santa]]'s helper in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' may reference the Dutch folklore character {{wp|Zwarte Piet}}. Jynx's revised coloring may be based on purple discoloration of the skin, a common symptom of {{wp|frostbite}}, fitting with Jynx's {{t|Ice}} type and how it is found in very cold places.

Jynx may be based on a Nordic or Viking woman (possibly {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}, goddess of the underworld). Jynx also has traits of a female opera singer, especially the iconic "{{wp|It ain't over till the fat lady sings|fat lady}}," Brunhilde, from [[wp:Der_Ring_des_Nibelungen|Der Ring des Nibelungen]]; {{g|Snap}} and its [[Generation III]] sprites depict it singing, especially the {{game|Emerald}} sprite that animates it singing a high note. Specifically, it may be inspired by the {{wp|Ride of the Valkyries}}, from the opera {{wp|Die Walküre}}, the second of four operas by {{wp|Richard Wagner}} based on Norse mythology. In this context, it is possible that the {{wp|Valkyries}}, mythical warrior-maidens who gathered the souls of those slain in battle, are another inspiration for Jynx.

Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese snow spirits known as {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, who lack feet, akin to Jynx's feet being covered by its dress. It may also be based on {{wp|Yama-uba}} (also called Yamanba), a ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that is described as always wearing a tattered kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, and living on cold mountaintops. Jynx's signature move {{m|Lovely Kiss}} is called ''Demon's Kiss'' in Japanese, supporting a supernatural inspiration.

====Name origin====
Jynx may be a corruption of ''{{wp|jinx}}'', a curse or hex of bad luck.

Rougela may be derived from ''{{wp|Rouge (cosmetics)|rouge}}'', a type of makeup and also the French word for ''red'', and also from the French verb ''geler'' (to freeze, to be freezing cold).

===Mew palette===
This palette is also used for the large sprites of all [[Pokémon Trainer]]s (including the player {{ga|Red}}), as well as [[Professor Oak]]. It is also used for all the [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|Pokémon icons]] on the [[party]], [[nickname]], and [[trade]] screens.
In the [[Virtual Console]] releases of {{game|Yellow}}, {{p|Jynx}}'s skin was changed to be purple, probably related to [[Pokémon controversies#Jynx|controversies]] surrounding its skin being black. Its sprites use five colors instead of four. To achieve this effect, some of the 8×8 tiles composing the sprite use an altered palette, where black is replaced with purple, which is technically possible on a [[Game Boy Color]] game.

In the [[new game]] intro, this palette is also used for {{p|Nidorino}}{{sup/1|RGB}} and {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/1|Y}}.

In the [[new game]] intro cutscene from the [[Generation I]] games, {{p|Nidorino}}{{sup/1|RGB}} and {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/1|Y}} use the Mew palette instead of their usual color palettes, resulting in slightly different colors than in main gameplay.

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2026-01-22T21:24:07Z

Fawfaw: Although I agree the previous version sounded like an assumption, I think its debut is worth mentioning here :D

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in {{aniseries|XY}}; male (left) and female (right)]]
[[File:Pikachu gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pikachu}}'s gender difference in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''; female (left) and male (right)]]
Although most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} look identical regardless of [[gender]], some species have '''differences in appearance due to gender''', with noticeable differences between the males and females. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real organisms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

Generation IV, in addition to introducing new Pokémon with gender differences, also modified several older Pokémon to have gender differences. In most cases, the male version retained the original design while the female was altered. However, the inverse is true for {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Milotic}}. These Pokémon, as well as {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Ambipom}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Gabite}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}, use their female designs for their official artwork, while other Pokémon with gender differences introduced in the first four [[generation]]s use the male designs. (This cannot be determined for {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Floatzel}}, as their backs are not shown in their official artwork, though Buizel debuted featuring its male design in the [[M09|ninth movie]].)

Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced differ much more drastically in appearance and have separate official artwork and menu sprites for each gender. Starting in [[Generation VI]], some Pokémon even have different {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], and/or [[move]]s they can learn depending on their gender. These gender differences are usually considered to be entirely separate [[form]]s.

Starting in Generation IV, certain Pokémon's [[Evolution]] is also [[Gender-based Evolution|affected by their gender]]. {{p|Burmy}} evolves into {{p|Wormadam}} if it is female or {{p|Mothim}} if it is male. Only female {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}} and {{p|Salazzle}}, respectively, with the males unable to evolve at all. Only male {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into {{p|Gallade}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}}; similarly, only female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Froslass}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}. However, Combee is the only one of these Pokémon to have a visual gender difference.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are a total of 102 Pokémon with gender differences.

==List of Pokémon==
===Generation I===
There are 23 [[Generation I]] Pokémon with gender differences, 22 debuting in [[Generation IV]] and 1 debuting in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==In the Pokédex==
Gender differences can be viewed in the Pokédex as [[form]]s. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s [[Professor's assistant|assistant]] upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display form differences, including gender differences. In other games, they can be viewed from the start. As with other form differences, the player can register a gender difference in their Pokédex by obtaining it, or by seeing it in {{pkmn|battle}} having obtained any form of the Pokémon.

From [[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex has a "forms" section in which both the male and female of the Pokémon are shown (for Pokémon that can be either gender), even if there is no gender difference, with "Male" and "Female" displayed as the form names. Starting in [[Generation VII]], only Pokémon with gender differences have them shown as separate forms in the Pokédex; the gender currently shown is indicated by a male or female gender symbol being shown in the entry, with Pokémon that do not have gender differences (and can be either gender) having both symbols displayed. Most gender differences are not given form names, with the exception of Pokémon that have functional differences between genders ({{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, {{p|Basculegion}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}}), which use "Male" and "Female" as form names. This is also the case for the Pokédex in [[Pokémon Bank]] and the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of [[Pokémon HOME]]. However, [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]'s Pokédex does not feature this distinction, with all Pokémon that have gender differences using the "Male" and "Female" form names.

In the mobile version of Pokémon HOME, most gender differences cannot be scrolled through like other forms; instead, all Pokémon that are not [[gender unknown]] have male and/or female symbols on their entries showing which genders they can have, and the player can tap these symbols to view any gender differences the Pokémon has. The exceptions are again Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne, whose gender differences are treated as entirely separate forms that can be scrolled through like other forms. In addition to these Pokémon, the app's Pokémon Guidebook feature also treats the gender differences of {{p|Unfezant}}, {{p|Frillish}}, {{p|Jellicent}}, and {{p|Pyroar}} as entirely separate forms, though their forms are not given names (whereas Meowstic, Indeedee, Basculegion, and Oinkologne use the "Male" and "Female" form names). Certain other official sources (such as websites and guidebooks) consider all of these Pokémon's gender differences as separate forms and use the "Male" and "Female" form names for them.

In the Pokémon HOME Pokédex, when viewing the entries for {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Floatzel}}, the player can "rotate" the Pokémon by pressing the right stick (in the Nintendo Switch version) or tapping a rotation icon (in the mobile version), which changes the Pokémon's render to one with its back turned so that its gender difference can be seen more easily (in Bidoof's case) or at all (in the other cases).

Most Pokémon use the same [[Pokédex entry]] for both genders. Starting in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], certain Pokémon have different entries for each gender, namely Meowstic, Indeedee, and Oinkologne. Basculegion uses the same entry for both genders in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], but has different entries for each gender in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. Additionally, in the data for Pokémon Sword and Shield, female Unfezant has an unused Pokédex entry for Pokémon Sword, female Frillish has an unused entry for Pokémon Shield, and female Jellicent has unused entries for both versions, but in the final game, these Pokémon use the same Pokédex entries for both genders.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are gendered counterparts in a similar vein to gender differences, but they are considered two separate species. They were introduced in [[Generation I]], prior to the introduction of [[gender]] as a mechanic in [[Generation II]] and of gender differences in [[Generation IV]]. Notably, {{pkmn|Egg}}s produced by Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂ can hatch into either Pokémon. A similar male-female gendered counterpart pair is {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}}, who also can produce Eggs containing each other.
** The male-female pairs {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}, as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}, can also be considered gendered counterparts, though they cannot produce Eggs containing each other.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have a gender difference.
** {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} is the only [[regional form]] of a Pokémon to have a gender difference.
** The {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] line where all of its members have gender differences.
** {{p|Politoed}} is the only Pokémon with gender differences from a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution line]] that evolves from a Pokémon without gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based Evolution]], and the first to introduce new gender differences to Pokémon established in previous generations.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduced Pokémon with gender differences, introducing only one.
[[File:Krookodile HZ037.png|thumb|250px|The Krookodile from ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'']]
* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any new Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was initially exclusive to the player's {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s or [[Gigantamax]] forms have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male of the species.
** No depictions of female Hippowdon have ever appeared in the animated series.
* Despite {{p|Spinda}} not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] displays separate models for male and female {{p|Spinda}}, using whichever spot pattern the player caught first for each gender.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences evolve into Pokémon that do not have gender differences, namely {{p|Pikachu}} evolving into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Scyther}} evolving into {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Eevee}} evolving into the [[Eeveelution]]s, {{p|Murkrow}} evolving into {{p|Honchkrow}}, {{p|Girafarig}} evolving into {{p|Farigiraf}}, {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} evolving into {{p|Sneasler}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} evolving into {{p|Ursaluna}}.
* Although {{p|Krookodile}} has no gender differences in the games, in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', a Krookodile who plays the role of "mother" in a litter of {{p|Sandile}} and {{p|Krokorok}} has pink eyelashes.

Ultimate weapon

Fawfaw: /* Background */ minor wording

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Ultimate Weapon.png|thumb|250px|The original machine used for resurrection before it was turned into the ultimate weapon]]
The '''ultimate weapon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|最終兵器|さいしゅうへいき}}''' ''ultimate weapon'') is a machine created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, located in [[Geosenge Town]]. It is featured heavily in those games and is referenced in both {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It has been referred to as "The Device That Grants Life" by [[Team Flare]].<ref>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 1: The Device]]: "''“The Device That Grants Life.” This device was created three thousand years in the past. It was originally designed to restore life to a Pokémon that had perished.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The machine resembles the Eternal Flower held by AZ's [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]], and it appears to be made of a crystalline material. The machine was powered by the life force of Pokémon, whose graves line {{rt|10|Kalos}}.<ref name=Celosia>[[Celosia]]: "''In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=AZ>[[AZ]]: "''The man made an ultimate weapon. Using it required the life force of many Pokémon… The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this. The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man's side. The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together…''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=MrStone1>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''Let me first take us back 3,000 years, to the days when this story began... There was a great war at that time, in a region far from here. That war was finally brought to an end by a weapon created by one man. And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon...''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=File2>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2: The Fuel]]: "''The “Device That Grants Life” in fact grants the deceased life stolen from other Pokémon. This is because the basic function of the device is to distill energy into its purest form, then emit that distilled energy.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This energy source was later used by the [[Devon Corporation]] and named [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''But my grandfather, the president of Devon before me, said this... "Couldn't we use the energy to improve the lives of people and Pokémon?" And so he developed our greatest creation here at the Devon Corporation: [[Infinity Energy]].''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=Devon>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''According to the report from the {{ci|Petalburg}} recon team, [[Devon Corporation]] holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon. We will dedicate all our resources to obtain this technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> The ultimate weapon also lead to the creation of [[Mega Power]] through the reborn Floette.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
[[File:Ultimate weapon ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|AZ activating the ultimate weapon]]
3,000 years prior the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the king of Kalos, [[AZ]], was forced to send his beloved [[AZ#Pokémon|Floette]] to fight in the war of [[Kalos]], which ultimately led to its [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]]. Determined to bring Floette back no matter what it took, AZ built a machine to bring it back to life, powered by the life force of other Pokémon. The exposure to the power of the machine also granted both AZ and Floette immortality and made AZ a giant as a result.

AZ however, still wanted revenge on those who had killed his beloved Pokémon, so he turned the machine into the ultimate weapon, which he used to end the great war by blasting both sides. The graves of the Pokémon sacrificed to power the ultimate weapon now line [[Kalos Route 10]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> When AZ's {{p|Floette}} realized that so many lives were lost merely to restore its own, it left AZ. The key to activate the weapon was taken by AZ as he left Kalos to wander aimlessly around the world, and the weapon itself was buried deep underground by AZ's brother in an attempt to prevent it from being used ever again.

[[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that [[Mega Stone]]s originate from special stones, potentially [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}} that was fired from the ultimate weapon.

2,000 years prior, a powerful man approached AZ and asked for his help with a way to protect Kalos. Instead of making another device that would take from others like the ultimate weapon, AZ decided to build one that would share the eternal life he had bestowed on his Eternal Flower Floette as a way to make up for his mistakes. That device would be known as [[Ange]], which was embedded into [[Prism Tower]].

===={{g|X and Y}}====
In the present day, [[Lysandre]], the boss of [[Team Flare]], aims to use the ultimate weapon to destroy all life—including {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—to create a more beautiful world. However, it could only be reactivated with the power of the [[Kalos Power Plant]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, and the key possessed by AZ.
[[File:Photo Spot Geosenge Town Weapon.png|thumb|left|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon X]]
[[File:Ultimate Weapon Y.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon Y]]
To accomplish this lofty goal, Team Flare occupies the Kalos Power Plant and diverts enough electricity to the weapon to cause a blackout in [[Lumiose City]]. This electricity is used along with the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to reactivate the weapon, allowing it to surface once again. However, when the {{player}} {{pkmn2|Caught|catches}} Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}, it drains most of the energy from the weapon. After being defeated, Lysandre attempts to use what little power still remains to make the player and their friends immortal{{sup/6|X}}/destroy [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] and everyone inside{{sup/6|Y}}, but the heroes manage to escape before the HQ is hit. The weapon then blasts [[Geosenge Town]], heavily damaging itself, burying the HQ under the rubble, and leaving a huge crater in the center of the town.

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
While the machine does not appear in the games, it plays a significant role due to the research it inspired. Long before the events of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Mr. Stone]]'s grandfather, the former president of the [[Devon Corporation]], researched the ultimate weapon. Inspired by its abilities, he aimed to harness the same energy to help both people and Pokémon. This research ultimately led to the development of and discovery of [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2/><ref name=Devon/>

[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} also researched the ultimate weapon, resulting in [[Project AZOTH]].<ref>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''We intend to analyze the power of the ultimate weapon used in [[Kalos]] 3,000 years ago and work on the development of a drill weapon utilizing the technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> This project involves the [[Primal Reversion]] of {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} to restore the world to its original state. The ultimate goal of Team Magma is to expand the landmass, providing humanity with more space to build and develop civilization. In contrast, Team Aqua aims to eliminate human civilization and return the world to its original state, allowing Pokémon to live free from the impact of humanity's progress.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
In a [[Pokémon multiverse|different timeline]], Lysandre succeeded in launching the ultimate weapon, however he passed out and ended up in the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon timeline, where he joined [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] as one of its admins. He will then have the player push one of two buttons, one of which activates the ultimate weapon and one of which opens the path to [[Giovanni]]. The ultimate weapon is activated regardless of which button the player chooses, but after defeating Lysandre, the player can press the other button and deactivate the weapon, saving [[Alola]].

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Following the ultimate weapon being fired in {{g|X and Y}}, {{P|Zygarde}} appeared to protect all living creatures from the ultimate weapon's blast, including Lysandre, exhausting its own power as a result. After being saved, Lysandre, now an amnesiac vagrant known simply as "L", worked with Zygarde to help restore its powers. The ultimate weapon's activation also caused the device embedded into the [[Prism Tower]], [[Ange]], to be awakened, sensing danger from the weapon.

The machine is mentioned in [[Team Flare]]'s computer in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]], explaining how Team Flare planned to use it to reduce the population of the world. Information gathered by Team Flare regarding the ultimate weapon is found as well, and the weapon was also mentioned as the reason for the reactivation of Ange. In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Side Mission EX2]],Team Flare considered using Mewtwo to power up their ultimate weapon; however, since they were unable to Mega Evolve Mewtwo, "Project M" was scrapped. Mewtwo would remain in slumber at Lysandre Labs until the destruction of the Ange machine, plus [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] being brought by [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] near its presence.

==Abilities==
[[File:Ultimate weapon fired ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|The ultimate weapon being fired]]
The machine was powered up by Pokémon's life energy. Along with energy, the machine must be activated with a key.

Before being turned into a weapon, the unnamed revival device would use the energy of other Pokémon to resurrect the deceased, granting them eternal life in the process. This process involves absorbing the life force of other Pokémon through the use of the standing stones that line [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]] all the way to the ruins of [[Geosenge Town]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> These stones usually emit energy, but when the machine is activated, that reverses, causing them to instead absorb the energy of whatever is attached to them.<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> The machine's primary ability is to convert life energy into its purest form, completely distilling it.<ref name=File2/> This life energy can be emitted in various forms, such as convection, radiation, and conduction. The transformed life energy is then redirected back into the deceased, effectively resurrecting them from the dead and granting them eternal life.<ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "''This emission can take the form of convection, radiation, or conduction. Thus life can be conducted back into a Pokémon that had lost its own, allowing it to be revived.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It was used 3,000 years ago by [[AZ]] to ressurect his [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]].

[[Team Flare]] intended to reactivate the ultimate weapon using the energy from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} and the life force of Pokémon absorbed with the stones on [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]],<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: "''The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> firing a huge blast of power that flies up and falls back down into the {{Pkmn|world|planet}}. [[Lysandre Labs]] housed two buttons: a red and a blue one, one of them is for activating the ultimate weapon. [[Xerosic]] also had a remote capable of activating it. Additionally, [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket's Castle|Castle]] also housed two buttons, one for activating the ultimate weapon and one for stopping it. It was used 3000 years ago by AZ to put an end to the [[Kalos]] war and in [[Pokémon X and Y]] by [[Lysandre]] as part of [[Team Flare]]'s plan to try and reduce the number of living things and create a "more beautiful world". [[Mega Stone|Mega Stones]] also originated from certain stones, possibly [[Evolution stone|Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}} that was fired by the weapon 3,000 years ago. Even more Mega Stones were created when the weapon was fired again in the event of Pokémon X and Y. Mere exposure to the machine can extend a [[human]]'s lifespan beyond their natural life expectancy, allowing them to live up to 3,000 years, as observed with AZ and [[Lysandre|L]]. Exposure may also grant incredible height, up to 9 feet tall.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{g|Masters EX}}===
During the [[legendary event]] [[Give and Take]], {{mas|Lysandre}} attempts to have [[Team Flare]] use the ultimate weapon to destroy [[Pasio]], but the weapon is successfully defused by {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Volkner}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, and {{mas|Molayne}} before it can be fired.

===[[Pokémon Generations]]===
The machine was featured heavily in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'' through flashbacks. Its backstory was detailed, showing [[AZ]] building it to revive his lost [[AZ#Befriended 2|Floette]], granting himself immortality in the process. He was later seen converting it into a weapon to destroy both sides of the great war, finally bringing it to an end.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
The ultimate weapon appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', where [[Team Flare]] deployed it in [[Geosenge Town]]. Following {{ga|Calem}}'s victory over [[Lysandre]], the Team Flare Boss decided to use the remaining energy in the weapon to grant Calem, his friends, and himself eternal life, firing it. The weapon's blast crashed back down onto the weapon itself, causing it to sink back into the ground while Calem and his friends escaped from the blast.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ultimate weapon Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The ultimate weapon was sought after by Team Flare, who planned to unleash its power onto the Kalos region. The machine contained an Absorber (Japanese: '''{{tt|吸収盤|アブソーバ}}''' ''Absorber'') that can drain the life force of Pokémon to power the weapon.

Team Flare's plan consisted of capturing the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} so that they could drain their energy to power the machine. The two Legendary Pokémon appeared in [[Vaniville Town]] in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', where they battled each other and caused panic and destruction to the unsuspecting townspeople. Team Flare observed the destruction from afar, but [[Xerosic]] noted that they had no actual methods of capturing the two Pokémon. Eventually, the two Pokémon ended their battle and left to parts unknown. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}}. By using the captured Vaniville townspeople as mind-controlled slaves, Team Flare managed to take Xerneas to their base in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''. After hooking the tree to the Absorber, Lysandre began the process of absorbing Xerneas's life force.

[[File:Absorber Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|The Absorber in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', {{adv|X}} traveled to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop Team Flare's plan. After arriving at the ultimate weapon's control room, he battled Lysandre. X's attempt to stop the weapon from being activated ended in his defeat, but also caused Xerneas to awaken. When X's friends and a group of [[Gym Leader]]s arrived at Geosenge Town, they found the ultimate weapon emerging from underground. They attempted to keep the weapon from opening, but it still managed to fire on the Kalos region. Despite this, the combined efforts of X and his allies, as well as Xerneas absorbing back most of its power upon awakening, drained the weapon of enough power that no innocent lives were taken. As Team Flare went into hiding, they tried to use their influence over the media to make the public believe the Gym Leaders and the Vaniville Town children were responsible for the destruction caused by the weapon's blast, but this didn't fool everyone in Kalos.
[[File:Flower machine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The flower in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered that the stones on {{rt|10|Kalos}} were actually an ancient form of the Absorber used by [[AZ]] when he first used the ultimate weapon. Due to Xerneas destroying the Absorber when it awakened, he decided to use these Absorbers in place of the previous one. In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Team Flare gathered multiple Pokémon from the [[Pokémon Village]] to act as the power source, but they were defeated by [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] before enough energy could be gathered for a second attempt. The four then proceeded to destroy the stones so that the ultimate weapon could never be used again.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Two more Absorbers appeared under the possession of the [[Devon Corporation]]. The Absorbers are taken to [[Sea Mauville]], where [[Mr. Stone]] and [[Steven Stone]] used them to drain the life force of [[Chic|Sapphire's Blaziken]] and [[Emerald's Sceptile]] in their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] states in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', so that the energy could be used to power a device called the dimensional shifter that would warp away an incoming [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that threatened to destroy the planet.

A smaller, portable version of the Absorber was seen in [[PS611]] in video footage contained at an old [[Pokémon Association]] science facility. This machine, nicknamed the "flower" (Japanese: '''花''' ''flower''), was a small cannon-like device with a barrel that was shaped like the ultimate weapon. This device was used in an attempt to drain {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} of its life force in order to weaken and capture it for the Pokémon Association at the [[Embedded Tower]].

==Trivia==
* The "cannon" inside the weapon's petals has a different design depending on the version of the game: in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], it is a blue orb, while in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], it is a red spike.
** In the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode, ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', the ultimate weapon is depicted in its design from Pokémon Y, despite the [[Legendary Pokémon]] caught by {{ga|Calem}} being {{p|Xerneas}} instead of {{p|Yveltal}}.
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], a holographic screen in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]] depicts the ultimate weapon along with both of its "cannons". The blue orb is depicted next to Xerneas' tree and the red spike next to Yveltal's cocoon. This implies that both of them exist in either version of Pokémon X and Y, with the orb using Xerneas' power and the spike using Yveltal's.
* The ultimate weapon's ability to destroy lives is reflected by Yveltal, as both have the power to take. This is contrasted by [[Ange]] and Xerneas, which both have the power to give.
* [[Celosia]], [[AZ]], and [[Mr. Stone]] state that when the machine was powered, it was done so to fire (similar to what Lysandre does in [[Pokémon X and Y]]);<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/> however, the [[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2 entry]] at Lysandre Labs states that it was powered to revive [[AZ#Befriended|AZ's Floette]].<ref name=File2/> It is unclear whether this is a mistake or an implication that the device was fueled twice.
** During the climax of Pokémon X and Y, it is repeatedly stated that when AZ fired the ultimate weapon, he powered it with the life energy of other Pokémon, which caused his resurrected Floette to leave him. However, [[Professor Sycamore]] says in the post-game that the energy fired at the time came from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: "''Let's talk about [[Mega Stone]]s briefly. My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: "''Professor Sycamore's theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the Legendary Pokémon—that was fired from the ultimate weapon. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago...''" ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref>
* The ultimate weapon shares some similarities with [[Professor Sada]]'s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]'s{{sup/9|V}} [[time machine]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]:
** They were both built by [[human]]s who wanted to use them for their own selfish desires, but not exactly for evil means.
** They're both powerful machines that posed a huge threat to their respective [[region]]s; [[Kalos]] for the ultimate weapon and [[Paldea]] for the time machine.
** They're both powered up by energy connected to their respective regions' [[Legendary Pokémon]]; Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} with their [[Infinity Energy]] for the ultimate weapon; and {{p|Terapagos}} with their [[Terastal energy]] for the time machine.

In-game trade

2026-01-10T19:31:40Z

Fawfaw: /* Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver */

An '''in-game trade'''<ref>''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 93</ref><ref>''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 24</ref> or '''NPC trade''' is a [[trade]] made with [[Non-player character|NPC]]s in the [[core series]] and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] [[Pokémon games]]. The process uses the same trading sequence as player trades and is usually done for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are difficult or impossible to obtain through other means, or for Pokémon unavailable at that point of the game. In later games, the traded Pokémon often has special moves, like [[Egg Move]]s. Starting in [[Generation III]], the player cannot initiate a trade with another game unless they have at least two Pokémon in their party, but this restriction does not apply to in-game trades.

Prior to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}} will always specify a Pokémon they want to trade for. The Pokémon the player receives in the trade will have a fixed [[Original Trainer]] and [[nickname]]; in later games the [[Trainer ID number]], [[held item]], [[Nature]], {{IV}}s, and/or [[level]] can be fixed as well.

Like Pokémon traded externally, the traded Pokémon will be treated as an {{pkmn2|outsider}}, and gain a boosted amount of [[Experience|experience points]] in {{pkmn|battle}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], every Pokémon has the same level as the Pokémon it was traded for, except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

==List of in-game trades==
The following lists of in-game trade Pokémon only include their [[nickname]]s and [[Original Trainer]] names in English and Japanese. For these names in other languages, see [[List of in-game trades in other languages]].

===Generation I===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Check that the Gen II held items of trade Evolutions and Japanese Blue's Krabby are correct.}}
All [[Trainer ID number]]s and {{IV}}s are random in the [[Generation I]] games. The [[Original Trainer]] always uses the [[Character encoding (Generation I)#Text control codes|hardcoded text string 0x5D]], which is displayed as "TRAINER" (Japanese: {{j|トレーナー}} ''Trainer'') in the game's language. In Western language versions of the handheld games and {{g|Stadium}}, this string is displayed in ALLCAPS ("TRAINER" in English), whereas in {{g|Stadium 2}} it is displayed in title case ("Trainer" in English). When transferred using [[Poké Transporter]], this string is permanently converted to title case in the language of the game it was transferred from, being changed to use a literal string instead of a language-sensitive control character.

The [[held item]] column refers to the item the Pokémon will be holding if it is traded to a [[Generation II]] game. With the exception of Pokémon that evolve during that trade and Krabby in Japanese Blue, they have the same item a [[wild Pokémon]] of the same species [[List of Pokémon by wild held item (Generation II)|would have]] if it were traded to a Generation II game; Pokémon that evolve during the trade have the item their evolved form would have, while Krabby has {{TM|13|Snore}} instead of {{TM|33|Ice Punch}}. Because the Trainer ID numbers and IVs are random, these Pokémon can be {{Shiny}} when [[transfer]]red to a [[Generation II]] game or [[Pokémon Bank]].

====Pokémon Red and Green (Japan), Pokémon Red and Blue (Western)====
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Nidoran♂ is traded for Nidoran♀; in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Nidoran♀ is traded for Nidoran♂.

====In Pokémon Stadium 2====
Due to the {{DL|Nickname|Pokémon Stadium series|color changing mechanic}} in the Pokémon Stadium series, these Pokémon have specific appearances in those games. This changes for each nickname and [[Original Trainer|OT]] name change in [[List of in-game trades in other languages|different languages]].

====Debug test trade data====
This data appears in all Generation 2 ROMs within a debug function intended to test out trading. Kabīn is possibly a reference to the Game Freak [[Kōji Nishino]] and {{p|Snorlax}} (Japanese: カビゴン) in-jokes, and the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|early 'Kabīn battle' concept art]]. The code remains in English versions; however, the Japanese names were not translated, resulting in garbage text, which causes problems as the game expects the English name length.

===Generation IV===
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
In the English language version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Kazza, Charap, and Gaspar are functionally [[language of origin|Japanese in origin]]; in Pokémon Platinum and all other language versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, these Pokémon have the same language of origin as the game they were obtained in. While language of origin is normally not visible in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, being a different language of origin does still have functional effects, such as boosting their [[experience]] gained by 1.7× (instead of 1.5×) and being applicable for the [[Masuda method]]. If traded to {{game|Platinum}}, HeartGold or SoulSilver, these Pokémon can register [[foreign Pokédex entries|Japanese Pokédex entries]]; in later generations, language of origin is explicitly displayed on the status screen.

====[[My Pokémon Ranch]]====
{{main|Hayley's trades}}

===Generation V===
Unique to this generation, some of the Pokémon that are traded to the NPC can be battled again by that NPC. These are marked with a † icon. The gender and Ability traded is kept in the new battle, and in Black and White, the traded Pokémon evolves, but the moves may change, even if [[HM]]s were taught to the Pokémon when traded. The new level is five levels above the initial level of the Pokémon traded to the NPC, with a minimum of 65 and a maximum of 100.

Except for trades with Yancy and Curtis, all traded Pokémon are guaranteed to have 1 perfect IV and all others set to 20.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation V]], since the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} received in an in-game trade is the same [[level]] as the Pokémon traded for it, it is [[Underleveled Pokémon#Underleveled Pokémon from in-game trade|sometimes possible]] to receive a Pokémon at a [[Underleveled Pokémon|lower level]] than normally possible.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, four Pokémon are exclusive to in-game trades: {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}}.
** In [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]], Lickitung and Jynx were made available in the wild. In {{game|Yellow}}, Lickitung and Farfetch'd were made available in the wild as well. Therefore, Mr. Mime (in all languages) and Jynx (in languages other than Japanese) remained unavailable in the wild until [[Generation II]].
** Due to being exclusive to in-game trades, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] who [[trade]]s {{p|Electrode}} for {{p|Raichu}} claims that Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This is due to a context-ignorant translation of the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} text, in which the player trades {{p|Kadabra}} for {{p|Graveler}}, both of which [[Evolution|evolve]] by trade
** Similarly, the old man who trades the player {{p|Jynx}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that Poliwhirl "went and evolved". Poliwhirl does not evolve by trade in the [[Generation I]] games but rather through the use of a [[Water Stone]]. In the context of the Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away {{p|Haunter}} for {{p|Machoke}}, both of which evolve by trade.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, once the player trades a {{p|Haunter}} for Chris's {{p|Xatu}} "Paul" in [[Pewter City]], Chris comments after the trade ''"Uh? What happened?"'', and then in later interactions ''"Trading is so odd... I still have a lot to learn about it."'' Although it is not explicitly said, Chris's surprise may suggest that Haunter evolved into {{p|Gengar}}. However, this dialogue does not change even if the player trades this Haunter holding an [[Everstone]], which would normally prevent this Evolution.
** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can trade a {{p|Haunter}} for Mondo's {{p|Xatu}} "Paul" in [[Pewter City]]. However, after the trade, Mondo says instead: ''"How wonderful! You made my day! Thanks to you, I have finally got the Pokémon I’ve been looking for... since forever!"'' It is not explicitly said if Haunter evolved into Gengar. As in the previous game, Mondo's dialogue does not change if Haunter is traded holding an [[Everstone]].
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Elyssa and Darrell's names do not traditionally match their genders. Since their names are switched in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|the games' remakes]], it is likely this was a mistake.
* Pokémon received from in-game trades in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VIII}} games have [[Memory (game mechanic)|memories]] set. For example, in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Togepi the player can trade for has the memory "Snips hatched from an Egg and saw Holly for the first time in a castle".
* Kapoor's name and {{tc|Artist}} Trainer class are likely a reference to British artist {{wp|Anish Kapoor}}. The {{p|Duraludon}} he trades furthers this reference, since the real-life Kapoor has worked on numerous architectural projects.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it is possible to become permanently trapped if the player trades away Finneon for Meister's Magikarp and has nothing else in their party that can learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}, as well as no [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] to evolve Magikarp, or [[fishing|fishing rods]] to [[black out]] or evolve Magikarp. This is only possible if the Finneon is traded from another game, since it is required for the player to have the Good Rod to catch it.
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is the only [[core series]] game to not feature in-game trades.
* [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] is the only core series game to have an in-game trade that is required to complete the story.

'''Diglett's Cave''' (Japanese: '''ディグダの{{tt|穴|あな}}''' ''{{tt|Digda|Diglett}}'s Hole'') is a long tunnel dug by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} in [[Kanto]]. The northern entrance is on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, south of [[Pewter City]], and the southern entrance is on {{rt|11|Kanto}}, near the eastern edge of [[Vermilion City]] (although in [[Generation II]], it is located within Vermilion City). The passage is famous for connecting these two routes.

==Description==
As a whole, the cave runs from the northwest to the southeast, passing under [[Celadon City]], {{rt|7|Kanto}}, and {{rt|6|Kanto}} as it progresses toward Vermilion from Pewter. There are no points of interest along the cave; however, the cave is the only location where wild {{p|Diglett}} and the rare {{p|Dugtrio}} are found in [[Kanto]].

The usefulness of the cave as a connector route between Routes 2 and 11 has allowed Diglett's Cave to become one of the most important non-numbered routes in the Pokémon world. In fact, after the player enters [[Cerulean City]], the only way to return to [[Pewter City]] and [[Viridian City]] without using {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}} is to travel through Diglett's Cave.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Brock]] will come to the northern entrance and give passers-by his Pokégear phone number. Once he is defeated at [[Pewter Gym]], he appears on late Saturday afternoon to offer a trade to the player.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player is prevented from passing through Diglett's Cave until they have obtained the {{Badge|Thunder}} or traversed [[Rock Tunnel]].

==Differences between generations==
In [[Generation II]] the cave was slightly shorter than in [[Generation I]], and the southern entrance was also in [[Vermilion City]], instead of {{rt|11|Kanto}} like every other generation.

In [[Generation III]] the cave was much longer than in any other generation.

In [[Generation IV]] the cave is the same length as it was in Generation II. This makes it one of very few Kanto areas to retain its length from Generation II. The only change is the addition of {{m|Rock Climb}} walls, that allow access to a higher level of the cave.

The cave is restored to its Generation III length in [[Generation VII]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Diglett's Cave appeared in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} emerged from its {{rt|2|Kanto}} entrance near [[Pewter City]] along with {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he had met off-panel and tried to find [[fossil]]s with.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Diglett's Cave appeared in ''[[PM006|Great Success in the Mountains or the Seas!?]]''. {{PPM|Red}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, and {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} entered the cave after Red and Clefairy's fighting over a [[rice ball]] caused the food to fly into the cave. After some exploring, Clefairy encountered a Diglett by stepping on its head. This resulted in a massive whack-a-mole scenario between the Diglett, Clefairy, and Pikachu, eventually causing the cave to collapse. However, Red's team managed to exit before heading to [[Vermilion City]].

Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, Red and his team encountered Diglett's Cave before Vermilion City, despite the fact that the cave must normally first be accessed by going through the city.

===How I Became a Pokémon Card===
Diglett's Cave appeared in [[PW10]], where a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} passed through it on his way to [[Celadon City]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]] only, the encounter rate of [[wild Pokémon]] in Diglett's Cave varies with the [[time|time of day]]: in the morning, it is twice as high as during daytime, and at nighttime, it is four times as high. It is the only location with varying encounter rates.
* In the Johto-based games, [[Kanto Route 19|Route 19]] is blocked due to reconstruction work until the {{player}} has been to [[Kanto Route 20|Route 20]], so the only way to access the western part of [[Kanto]] is through Diglett's Cave. If the player manages to use cheats to reach western Kanto before waking the {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping on [[Kanto Route 11|Route 11]], then enters Diglett's Cave from [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]] and exits at Route 11, their sprite will overlap with the Snorlax on the tiles where it is lying. However, once the player steps off those tiles, the Snorlax continues to act as a roadblock.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He gives the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him in {{pkmn|battle}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
Brock appears in the [[Kanto]]-based games as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]], which is the first [[Gym]] that the {{player}} challenges on their {{pkmn|journey}}. He is one of the few truly serious professional [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Pewter City]] area, and many people respect and admire him. He is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to complement this. He rarely laughs or drops his serious demeanor, but when he does, he finds it hard to stop. In his free time, he likes to dig for [[Fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]]. In addition to the {{badge|Boulder}}, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and {{TM|01|Headbutt}} in {{LGPE}}.

In Pokémon Yellow, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!, Brock mentions that he is training to become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, a {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} that does not exist in these games. This is a [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to the goal of his {{an|Brock|animated series counterpart}}. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Brock decides to postpone this goal to have daily [[rematch]]es with the player after they have become {{pkmn|Champion}}. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player also meets Brock in [[Celadon City]], where he gives the player the [[Tea]] required to enter [[Saffron City]]. During this encounter, it is revealed that he is obsessed with pretty girls, just like his animated series counterpart.

Three years later, in the [[Johto]]-based games, Brock remains the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, which can be challenged before or after any other Gym (except the [[Viridian Gym]]) during the player's travels through [[Kanto]]. He is surprised to hear that the player is from the Johto [[region]], and happily accepts their challenge. While he does not give out a TM in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after all 16 [[Badge]]s have been obtained, Brock can be found in [[Diglett's Cave]] near Pewter City on any day between noon and 3 PM, and will offer his [[Pokégear]] number if spoken to. If he is called on [[Days of the week|Saturday]] [[Time|night]]s, he will be up for a rematch at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]]. After his Pokégear number has been obtained, he will reappear in Diglett's Cave every day between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the player can have a [[photography|photograph]] taken with him there. After he is defeated at Pewter Gym, if spoken to in Diglett's Cave on a Saturday between 5 PM and 8 PM, he will offer to [[trade]] a {{p|Rhyhorn}} that knows {{m|Thunder Fang}} for a {{p|Bonsly}}.

In {{B2W2}}, Brock appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] as an opponent in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He also participates alongside the other Gym Leaders of Kanto, Johto, [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] in the [[World Leaders Tournament]], and other Rock-type experts in the Rock [[Type Expert Tournament]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Brock/Quotes}}

==In animation==
[[File:Brock doctor outfit.png|thumb|250px|Brock in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
{{main|Brock (anime)}}
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, like later Gym Leaders, Brock appeared primarily as an opponent to [[Ash Ketchum]] in his [[EP005|debut episode]]; unlike later Gym Leaders, he requested to join Ash on his {{pkmn|journey}}, aiming to be the world's greatest {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. In doing so, Brock left the Gym in the hands of his father, {{ka|Flint}}, who had finally revealed himself to have returned from his journey. Brock advised Ash throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]], then left briefly during the [[Orange Islands]] arc to assist [[Professor Ivy]]. He returned to Ash's side in [[Johto]], and with brief returns to [[Pewter City]] at the end of each series, joined him for his journeys in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] as well. However, towards the end of {{aniseries|DP}}, Brock decided to become a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}} and parted ways from traveling with Ash. Despite this, Brock reunites with Ash from time to time, meeting up with him in {{aniseries|SM}}. More recently, he reappeared in {{aniseries|JN}} for a [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles|four-part special]] set in Sinnoh and resumed traveling with Ash before returning home.

Brock mainly provides an advisory role to the other main characters of ''Pokémon the Series'', being several years older than the rest of them. His knowledge of Pokémon battles is great, causing him to often referee matches between Ash and others. Brock also fancies himself as something of a ladies' man, though each time he hits on someone he is either rejected outright; pulled away by {{an|Misty}} or [[Max]]; or, more recently, {{m|Poison Jab}}bed by his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Brock Poké Balls PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Brock in Pokémon Origins]]
In [[Pokémon Origins]], Brock is the only Gym Leader to have a key role other than [[Giovanni]]. Much like his role in the {{pkmn|games}}, Brock is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.

Brock is first seen in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', watching a [[Pokémon battle]] between {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After Red is defeated, Brock talks to Red and teaches him about the basics of Pokémon battling and training.

A calm, eloquent, and dignified young man, Brock is presented as both wise and experienced in the field of Pokémon.

Later, Red discovers that Brock is the Gym Leader of Pewter City and goes to challenge Brock to earn his first Badge. There, they have a Gym battle in which Brock teaches Red about type matchups and strategy. Brock is shown to have many Pokémon, and selects Geodude and Onix when Red confirms that he has no [[Badge]]s. This implies that all Gym Leaders have Pokémon of varying strengths in reserve in order to keep each challenge a fair fight. After a lengthy and tough battle, Red eventually defeats Brock by using all of his Pokémon to slowly weaken Brock's Onix until it falls. Having lost the battle, Brock awards Red with the Boulder Badge and {{TM|34|Bide}}. After imparting some final words of wisdom, Brock sends the blossoming Red on his way.

Unlike most other characters in Pokémon Origins, whose designs were based on their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} designs, Brock's design is more akin to his {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} design.

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

==In the manga==
===Ash & Pikachu===
{{main|Brock (anime)#Ash & Pikachu|Brock (anime)}}
Brock appears in [[Ash & Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} based on the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Like in the animated series, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} alongside {{an|Misty}}.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{main|Brock (anime)#The Electric Tale of Pikachu|Brock (anime)}}
As [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based on the {{aniseries|OS}}, {{an|Brock}} is a commonly recurring character, although he does not appear in every chapter and he does not travel with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} constantly.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In the bonus chapters, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|animated series}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the animated series' canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).
{{-}}

===Movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|200px|Brock with his friends]]
As Brock has appeared in every movie prior to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', he has appeared in every manga adaptation of it. His team in the manga adaptations are the same as in the films.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Misty Erika Blaine Adventures.png|thumb|251x251px|Brock's (top) current appearance in Pokémon Adventures]]
Aside from being a Gym Leader, Brock also works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', though he is mentioned earlier by {{adv|Blue}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', who described him as being bored by no one being able to defeat him, or even get past the preliminaries. To gain access to Brock, a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, and all of those battles are watched by him from a special room.

Brock is a brave Trainer, and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{adv|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}} after the good [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] battled [[Agatha]]'s mind-controlling {{p|Gastly}}. However, he is also shown to be quick to anger and restless in his search for a good battle, and when discovering that {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]], the only remaining Pokémon of his, was disobedient, deemed his wins "dumb luck" and sought for a finisher attack instantly. However, when the boy begins to gain his Pokémon's trust, it chooses to fight for him and defeats his Onix.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
After {{adv|Blaine}} figured out that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]] before going missing, Brock volunteered to search there, since Mt. Moon is closest to [[Pewter City]]. He then found a cast of Red frozen in ice there and contacted Blaine. Before all of the information could be exchanged, he found out that [[Pewter City]] was under attack by a group of [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Machop}} that was searching for Brock's {{badge|Boulder}}, and he left to protect it.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
A few years later, he, along with Erika and Misty, traveled to [[Johto]] for the Gym Leader Tournament at the [[Indigo Plateau]], where he faced off against the expert of the newly discovered {{type|Steel}}, [[Jasmine]]. He lost the match and later fought against Team Rocket on the [[Magnet Train]].

The other five first appeared in ''[[PS064|Putting It On The Line...Against Arcanine]]''. They often grasp each others' wrists in order to circle around Brock to protect him. During the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, they used their {{m|Magnitude}} to stop the Magnet Train. However, the impact sent it off course, causing it to almost crash before it was saved by {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Snorlax}}, [[Snor]].}}

|desc={{p|Onix}} is arguably Brock's most powerful Pokémon and is apparently well known for its speed, which causes shock waves when it moves. Onix was first used in battle against {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]]. Despite the type advantage, Onix was defeated by the small Electric-type after it came to fight for Red of its own will. Three years later, Onix was sent out by Brock to use as a bridge when a bridge in the [[Tohjo Falls]] went out while Brock, Erika, and Misty were heading to Johto, during which Misty is joined by {{p|Suicune}}. However, it itself collapsed when they were all attacked by a large group of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Crobat}}. Once the group finally made it to the Indigo Plateau, Brock used Onix in his battle with [[Jasmine]]. It lost to [[Jasmine's Steelix]], which he initially mistook as an Onix of a different variety due to its rock covering used to hide the fact that it was a new, undiscovered species at the time.}}

It knows many ancient attacks and is a very powerful member of Brock's team; it was able to easily hold its own against Jasmine's {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]], nearly winning him the match despite the type disadvantage.

Kabutops's only known move is {{m|Ancient Power}}, and its Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}}.}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Brock debuted in ''[[PM003|Take Out The Rival Onix!!]]''. Before {{PPM|Red}} arrived in Pewter City, {{PPM|Green}} got there and took Brock on. However, Brock was brutally strong as he managed to knock Green and his {{TP|Green|Charmander}} back into a window. The impact caused him to tell Red about Brock's strength. Despite Green's advice, Red decided to go to the Gym anyway. Red noticed Brock's collection of Pokémon he had caught over the years and one of them turned out to be {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s cousin, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. Brock then came and Red had his first Gym battle with him. Red used Clefairy while Brock used {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Clefairy managed to defeat Onix by having it chase its own tail, earning Red the {{badge|Boulder}}.

Brock reappeared in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'' in a form of a cameo. He was seen wearing his outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* In {{5v2|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, all of Brock's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are part {{type|Ground}} as well as part {{type|Rock}}.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Type expert|expert]], none of Brock's Pokémon in [[Generation I]] know any Rock-type [[move]]s, only knowing {{type|Normal}} ones. This was changed in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* In Pokémon Yellow, Brock's {{p|Onix}} knows {{m|Bind}} at [[level]] 12, despite Onix not learning the move until level 15 in that generation.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a [[TM]] of his specialty type, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in Generations I and VII, however, as in FireRed and LeafGreen, Brock's chosen TM changed from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock trades the player a Rhyhorn knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[Egg Move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his {{an|Brock|animated series counterpart}}, who is a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and once owned a [[Brock's Sudowoodo|Bonsly]].
* As seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Brock's [[Trainer ID number]] is 06845.
* Out of all of Brock's Pokémon in the [[core series]] games, only three do not suffer from a double weakness to {{t|Grass}}: {{p|Rampardos}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Brock has been shown with several non-Rock-type Pokémon that his animated series counterpart would later come to own, namely {{p|Golbat}} in {{pkmn|Stadium}}'s Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight.
* Brock shares his French name (Pierre) with {{Steven}}, the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].
* It can be inferred from conceptual art that Brock wasn't originally planned to be the first Gym Leader in {{2v2|Red|Green}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/611129653110026241</ref>

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

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Giratina [[#Form data|transforms]] from its '''Altered Forme''' into its '''Origin Forme''' using the [[Griseous Orb]]([[Generation IV|Gen IV]]-[[Generation VIII|VIII]])/[[Griseous Core]]([[Generation VIII|Gen VIII]]+) or while in its home, the [[Distortion World]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, Giratina is one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] created by {{p|Arceus}}, representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{g|Platinum Version}}, appearing on the game's boxart in its Origin Forme, which was officially revealed in early February 2008.

==Biology==
[[File:487Giratina XY anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Altered Forme Giratina's wings shaped into claws]]
Giratina is a large gray draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. It has a tail with two band-like markings.

According to the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] of the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beginning of existence, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created the [[Pokémon egg|eggs]] in which the Pokémon of antimatter–Giratina, the Pokémon of time–{{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of space–{{p|Palkia}}, hatched from, all three in their {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}}. After the [[Pokémon universe]] was created, due to Giratina's violent nature, Arceus banished it to the [[Distortion World]], a world that lies on the reverse side of the [[Pokémon world]]. Since then, it carried a strong grudge against its creator and was willing to stand against it with the help of [[Volo]], but after being defeated by a [[Rei|hu]][[Akari|man]] from another time and fleeing, it would change its ways to protect the {{pkmn|universe}} from threats such as [[Cyrus]], who had a similar goal to its former partner. In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Giratina is instead shown to reside in the [[Reverse World]], which is similar to the Distrotion World.

Giratina is highly aggressive and territorial, likely other reasons for its banishment. It has been reported to appear in ancient [[Death in the Pokémon world#Burial grounds|cemeteries]]. Giratina has the power to tear holes in reality, sometimes even creating a [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]], being so big and powerful that it can even throw both Dialga and Palkia into a frenzy. This rift might also spread smaller [[space-time distortion]]s all over the region it was created in, creating [[Alpha Pokémon]] and releasing bolts of lightning that throw [[noble Pokémon]] into a frenzy. It is also capable of {{m|Shadow Force|cloaking itself in darkness as it attacks}}. It generally moves by levitating itself in the air, as opposed to walking on its six legs. Giratina is said to be equal in strength to its siblings Dialga and Palkia.

Giratina is said to have observed the real world silently while in its home dimension. It remains in its Altered Forme while outside of its home [[dimension]]. Unlike in the games, [[Pokémon movie]]s depict Giratina only opening portals through reflective surfaces. Giratina also had many different titles throughout the years: "the banished Pokémon", "Arceus's shadow", "the Pokémon of Shadows", and "the being on the other side of our world".

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Force}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
[[File:487Giratina Origin Forme Dream 3.png|thumb|200px|Origin Forme Giratina's plate mask opened]]
Giratina can change between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.

Compared to Palkia and Dialga, both of which resemble Arceus in their Origin Formes, Giratina's Origin Forme takes on a serpentine look. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with a red spike at its tip. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs down its body.

The Origin Forme of Giratina is said to be Giratina's true form, capable of traveling through and controlling dimensions besides those of time and space. Giratina can retain its Origin Forme while in its home, the [[Distortion World]], or when holding either a [[Griseous Orb]] or [[Griseous Core]]. Giratina can also maintain its Origin Forme in the real world without items should it get a sufficient amount of power, enough to potentially be equal to Arceus. Giratina is at its full power when in the Origin Forme, and is always levitated in this state. When in its Origin Forme, it can pass through dimensions at will, although it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina has the power to turn itself into a shadow and to merge the Distortion World with the [[Pokémon world]], as seen during the events of [[Spear Pillar]]. However, this has the dangerous side effect of distorting it to the risk of being destroyed. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giratina was shown to be capable of using the terrain of the Distortion World to encase and trap its targets.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Giratina is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Rock Horn]].
* [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]: An illusion of Giratina is used by {{p|Solosis}} and {{p|Litwick}} when battling the children of [[Serene Village]] inside [[Ancient Barrow]]. The real Giratina appears as the guardian of the [[Looplet|Grass Looplet]] in the [[Grass Continent]]'s [[Zero Isle]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: [[Turnback Cave#Special encounters|Giratina]] is one of the major antagonists and a boss in the game. It is one of {{ga|Arceus}}'s creations alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. In anger for being banished to the [[Distortion World]] by Arceus, it partnered up with a [[human]] named [[Volo]] and tore open a [[Space-time distortion|rift in space-time]] above [[Mount Coronet]] to try and force Arceus out of hiding.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself. Giratina can still have its Ability changed when it is in {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}}.

===Learnset===
Giratina is available in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of myth]], Giratina has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. However, Giratina is unique in that its standard form is called Altered Forme.

Giratina's Altered Forme debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, while its Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. From Platinum to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a [[Griseous Orb]]. In Platinum, it also transforms into its Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]]. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it changes between its forms when exposed to a [[Griseous Core]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Giratina transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Griseous Core. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its Altered Forme.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, Giratina will appear in its Origin Forme while in the version-exclusive dungeons. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Giratina will cycle through Formes after being used in a dungeon.

{{Evobox/Formes
|name1=Giratina
|sprite1=0487Giratina
|forme1=Altered Forme
|loc1=Default form
|type1-1=Ghost
|type2-1=Dragon
|sprite2=0487Giratina-Origin
|forme2=Origin Forme
|loc2={{color2|000|Distortion World}} or {{color2|000|Held item|holding}} a {{color2|000|Griseous Core}}
|item1=Griseous Core
|itemfile1=Bag Griseous Core SV Sprite.png
|itemsize1=40px
}}

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (its base stat total is unchanged). In Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Shadow Force}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Forme, as well as a unique animation.

In Explorers of Sky, as the Pokémon's stats are calculated differently, the forms instead apply stat stage modifiers, with Altered Forme receiving -2 to its Attack and Special Attack, and +2 to its Defense and Special Defense, with those being swapped for Origin Forme. However, in the Japanese version only, the Defense stat modifiers are instead erroneously applied to the target Giratina is facing, making Altered Forme weaker than intended and Origin Forme stronger than intended.

===Main series===
[[File:Giratina Altered Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Altered Forme Giratina in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would switch between its Origin Forme and Altered Forme whenever it travels between its home world and the main world.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Giratina was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of myth|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Giratina was one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its animated series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] featured Giratina.

In ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', Giratina interfered with [[Cyrus]]'s plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its homeworld. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.

==Trivia==
[[File:Origin Forme Giratina Encounter Pt.png|thumb|Origin Forme Giratina in the [[Distortion World]] in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Altered Forme Giratina Encounter Pt.png|thumb|Altered Forme Giratina at [[Turnback Cave]] in Pokémon Platinum]]
* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[Pokémon of myth|its trio]]:
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, it has its own unique battle music, can change forms between {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme and Origin Forme}}, and has two different menu sprites.
** It is the only member without any double resistances.
** Its {{stat|HP}} is its highest [[stat]] rather than {{stat|Special Attack}}.
** It does not have a [[Pokémon of myth orbs|Pokémon of myth orb]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (the [[Griseous Orb]] was introduced in Pokémon Platinum).
** It is met at level 70 in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl while the other members are met at [[level]] 47. This is reversed in Pokémon Platinum.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the [[Pokédex]] by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series.
** It is the only member whose box art differs from its official art released with Diamond and Pearl.
* Giratina's encounter in the [[Distortion World]] in Pokémon Platinum has several distinctions from other {{pkmn|battle}}s:
** At the start of the battle, it uniquely descends from the top of the screen, and is accompanied by the unique message "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared!". It is still a [[wild Pokémon]] despite the unique message.
** No platform is displayed beneath Giratina, and it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]].
* Giratina is tied with {{p|Lunala}}, {{form|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{form|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Giratina is tied with {{p|Drifblim}} for the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Giratina is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be obtained in all five of the Generation IV [[core series]] handheld games.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second frame of Giratina's Altered Forme sprite was changed, but the static sprite remained the same.
** This sprite is also present in Pokémon Platinum's data, but is unused.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Fantina]] has an Origin Forme Giratina without a Griseous Orb in [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]].
* Altered Forme Giratina is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Ghost-type Pokémon and the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|with a multiped body}}.
** Origin Forme Giratina is both the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Ghost-type Pokémon and the tallest {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{Shiny}} Giratina in its Origin Forme causes a game crash when using {{m|Shadow Force}}. This bug has yet to be fixed.
* The symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolPlatinum.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Lost Origin}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolLost Origin.png|30px]] resemble Giratina's Origin Forme, seen from the front.

===Origin===
According to [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]], Giratina and the [[Distortion World]] are personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120924075934/http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com (archived)]</ref>

Giratina may also draw inspiration from {{wp|fallen angel}}s, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell — analogous to Giratina being exiled by {{p|Arceus}} to another [[dimension]] due to its belligerent nature. Furthermore, it might allude to {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being a member of a heavenly host.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina resembles a {{wp|European dragon}} or {{wp|sauropod}}. It also shares similarities with some ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' depictions in popular media. Its wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like six-legged feature.

Origin Forme Giratina's serpentine body may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, an {{wp|Amphiptere}}, or an ''{{wp|Ōmukade|Oomukade}}'', a giant centipede with dragon-like features, said to prey on dragon and be as large as a mountain. It may also be based on a {{wp|Seraph}}, a class of angels known for its six wings and, in some depictions, a serpentine body. Similarly, it also shares some similarities with other serpents or dragon-like creatures in Abrahamic religions, such as the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible#Ancient serpent|ancient serpent}} or the {{wp|Leviathan}}. The design of its six wings may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs.

Additionally, Its {{t|Ghost}} [[type]] may parallel its counterparts' type: {{p|Palkia}} is part {{type|Water}}, and {{p|Dialga}} is part {{type|Steel}} — all three may reference the three primary {{wp|State of matter|states of matter}}; gas, liquid, and solid.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be derived from ''platina'' (Spanish for ''platinum''). It may also involve ''guilty'', ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', ギラリ ''girari'' (onomatopoeia for glaring), and possibly ''girasol'' (a type of {{wp|opal}}).

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Palkia [[#Form data|transforms]] into its '''Origin Forme''' using the [[Lustrous Globe]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, Palkia is one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] created by {{p|Arceus}}, representing {{wp|space}}. In the past, it was worshipped by the [[Pearl Clan]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Shin'ou-sama'').

Palkia is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl Version|s}} and its [[remake]] {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Shining Pearl}}, appearing on the box art of both games in its normal form.

==Biology==
[[File:Universal destruction BDSP.png|thumb|left|240px|Palkia destroying the {{pkmn|universe}}]]
Palkia is a light-purple, {{wp|theropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearl-like crystals lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them, and fin-like wings on its back. Palkia's arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck that is normally bent, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. It has faint cracks along its legs and tail.

According to the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] of the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beginning of existence, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created {{Pkmn|egg|eggs}} in which the Pokémon of space–Palkia, the Pokémon of time–{{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of antimatter–{{p|Giratina}}, hatched from, all three in their {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}}. Arceus also created the [[lake guardians]] and gave them the mission of calming down Dialga or Palkia whenever they were enraged. After the [[Pokémon universe]] was created, Palkia retreated into its [[Dimension#Palkia's world|own dimension]], where it has lived ever since. It was revered and feared as a deity in the past, being worshipped by the [[Pearl Clan]], who mistook it for Arceus and referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Palkia is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking human language]] via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Pearl Clan, [[Irida]]. Palkia and Dialga may be also thrown into a frenzy by powerful [[space-time distortion]]s created by Giratina. They can control and spread said distortions, resulting in the generation of [[alpha Pokémon]] and causing [[noble Pokémon]] to become frenzied through lightning bolts that come out of them.

Palkia has power over space: it can warp space and travel to faraway places, as well as alternate [[dimension]]s and parallel [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]]. Additionally, it is capable of {{m|Spacial Rend|rending its targets along with the space around it}}. It even has the power to destroy and create an entire [[Pokémon universe|universe]], either by itself or with {{p|Dialga}}'s aid. As seen in {{aniseries|JN}}, Palkia can open and close dimensional portals to alternate universes. It is said that the birth of Palkia was what caused the walls of the world to disappear, creating a sky that spans for infinity, and that space becomes more stable with its every breath. Palkia usually travels by levitating. Since it primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the anime, {{mov|Palkia}} has been shown to be very protective of its home, and as a result, tends to have violent conflicts with {{mov|Dialga}} when their dimensions intersect. Palkia is capable of travelling by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Spacial Rend}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Palkia Origin Forme mouth open.png|thumb|right|240px|Origin Forme Palkia's plate mask opened]]
Palkia can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.

In its Origin Forme, which is said to be its true form, Palkia's appearance changes drastically from its other theropod-like Forme, taking on a centaur-dragon hybrid look while resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The main body becomes larger and grayish pink, with light gray accents on the tips of its wings and legs, along with various dark purple accents. Its shoulder plates are larger and seem to be made of the same pearl-like crystals as the ones embedded at the center, with six rectangular dark purple protrusions surrounding them. Its lower half becomes bigger and resembles that of a horse. Palkia's arms become its forelegs, with hooves, protrusions on the knees, and rectangular spikes on its upper forelegs akin to its other Forme's arms. The back legs gain hooves as well, with heels on the back of the foot, and they are bent in such a way that allows Palkia to stand up on its two back legs. The tail becomes shorter and splits into five. On the center of Palkia's abdomen is a structure consisting of two dark purple circular shapes connected to two circles of the same color, resembling Arceus's cross-like wheel. Palkia's neck and markings on its lower body become shorter. The pointed crest on its neck becomes taller and longer. Its lower jaw gets a plate-like mask covering it, with multiple spikes all over it: one at the front, a pair extending towards the bottom of the jaw, and two pairs on either side extending towards the back. The plate-like mask can be lowered to reveal its mouth when roaring or using attacks.

Palkia is at its full power when in its Origin Forme, and is supposedly permanently in this state while in its home dimension, which is said to be in shreds as if it had been torn to ribbons. It has the power to warp, destroy, and create space itself.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/palkia/ Palkia (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref>. It is believed that the reason why Palkia's Origin Forme resembles Arceus is to strategically gain its power. Palkia's transformation into its Origin Forme can be triggered using the [[Lustrous Globe]] or through a radiant light. Origin Forme Palkia can walk on all fours and fly, and is capable of unleashing meteors and shockwaves. Its {{m|Spacial Rend}} can even be charged into a more powerful version of itself while in Origin Forme, as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and purple accents on Palkia's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Palkia|2}} plays a major part in the game's post-story. Palkia first appears when he attacks the {{player}} and their partner at [[Sharpedo Bluff]], having learnt from {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} (disguised as {{p|Cresselia}}) that they were responsible for space being distorted, but the real Cresselia appeared and sorted things out.
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the [[Ranger Net]] extra missions. Palkia was injured and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]]. In its pain, it warped the space of the [[Almia]] [[region]] and caused all of the locations of Almia to be shuffled together.
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: [[Temple of Sinnoh#Special encounters|Palkia]] is a main antagonist and boss in the game. It is one of {{ga|Arceus}}'s creations alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}. After [[Volo]] and Giratina tore open a [[Space-time distortion|rift in space-time]] above [[Mount Coronet]], Palkia along with Dialga, became enraged, causing many [[Alpha Pokémon]] and [[Space-time distortion]]s to appear all over [[Hisui]].

Origin Forme Palkia cannot be transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]].
|}

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of myth]], Palkia has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.

The standard form of Palkia debuted in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, in which it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to a [[Lustrous Globe]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Palkia transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Lustrous Globe. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.
{{Evobox/Formes
|name1=Palkia
|sprite1=0484Palkia
|forme1=
|loc1=Default form
|type1-1=Water
|type2-1=Dragon
|sprite2=0484Palkia-Origin

|item1=Lustrous Globe
|itemfile1=Bag Lustrous Globe SV Sprite.png
|itemsize1=40px
}}

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Spacial Rend}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.

===Main series===
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|250px|Palkia in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Palkia (movie)]]=====
Palkia made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Dialga}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Palkia was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of myth|its trio]]. It joined forces with Dialga and {{mov|Giratina}} to fight against {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Palkia (recurring)=====
A Palkia appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], Alternate World Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Palkia and Dialga were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Palkia and Dialga rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Palkia was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Palkia and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Palkia departed for its home.

====Minor appearances====
Palkia debuted as a shadowy figure in a fantasy in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''.

Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]''.

In ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]'', {{MTR}}'s fantasy featured Palkia.

A silhouetted Palkia appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

Palkia debuted in {{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}} manga adaptation, where it was fighting {{mov|Dialga}}. In the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, were summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia and the other members of its trio soon engaged {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in a battle.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)}}
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Palkia first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.

===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Palkia was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Dialga and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the three Pokémon of myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Palkia appeared in ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' as a silhouette. It officially debuted in ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|thumb|200px|Palkia on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper level has a purple tinge to it. Unlike {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Cresselia}}, however, it will use its powers to distort the stage in multiple ways. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down, and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoots beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

====Trophy information====
''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], this {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spacial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's [[Game mascot|mascot]]."''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Palkia SSB4.jpg|thumb|250px|Palkia summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]]]
Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It uses Spacial Rend, which flips the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.

[[File:Palkia_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Palkia trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Palkia also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well. ''

'''PAL''': ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!''
{{-}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUPalkia.png|thumb|left|250px|Palkia summoned from a {{i|Poké Ball}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarPalkia.png|thumb|250px|Palkia on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Palkia returns as a Pokémon summoned from a Poké Ball, using Spacial Rend like its appearance in ''For Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' while also appearing as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. Palkia cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Mushroomy Kingdom, Mute City SNES, Paper Mario, PictoChat 2, {{St|Prism Tower}}, Reset Bomb Forest, {{St|Spear Pillar}} (for obvious reasons), Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island. Palkia's Spacial Rend will not be able to flip the stage upside down if a fighter is equipped with a spirit with Screen-Flip Immunity, though it will still remain on stage to damage any opponents who touch it. Palkia also reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spatial World.png|thumb|right|250px|Palkia's world in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
* Origin Forme Palkia is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Palkia has a catch rate of 30.
* The gems on Palkia's shoulders resemble Pale [[Sphere]]s.
* Palkia's [[gender]] differs between various [[Pokémon]] media. It is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story (although it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay) and female in the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. [[List of Pokémon by IQ group|It takes this position in IQ group J]], and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
* Palkia is the only Pokémon that will cause an {{p|Arceus}} equipped with the [[Legend Plate]] to become {{t|Dragon}}-type when using {{m|Judgment}}. This is because Palkia's type permutation is the only one that can result in a Dragon-type Judgment, and Palkia is the only Pokémon with this permutation in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the only two Pokémon that can be legitimately caught in every kind of [[Poké Ball]] in the core series to date (besides the [[Park Ball]], which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon), as they are the only two Pokémon that can be caught with the [[Origin Ball]].
* Although the portal to [[Dimension#Palkia's world|Palkia's world]] appears in [[core series]] games, the inside of that world has only been shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]], Palkia, along with [[Primal Dialga]], the [[legendary giants]], the {{p|Magnemite}} family, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in all capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* At the end of one of Palkia's roars from the animated series and {{pkmn|movies}}, a roar of {{wp|King Ghidorah|Mecha-King Ghidorah}}, a {{wp|kaiju}} from the 1991 {{wp|Toho}} film ''{{wp|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah}}'', can be heard.

===Origin===
Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} combined with a {{wp|pearl}}. Its appearance may also be derived from the ''{{wp|Plateosaurus}}'' or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Oviraptor}}''. The plates covering its face along with the crest on its neck together resemble the helmets worn by soldiers in {{wp|Ancient Greece}} and {{wp|Ancient Rome|Rome}} — this resemblance is made even more apparent in its Origin Forme.

Its {{t|Water}} [[type]] is possibly inspired by its association with pearls, or the large space that {{wp|ocean}}s are known to span. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the ever-changing forms of physical matter in the universe, with energy and matter flowing between states and changing forms. It could also refer to the Ancient Greek astronomy depicting Earth submerged in water. Its Water type might also represent the liquid {{wp|state of matter}}, whereas Dialga's {{type|Steel}} represents the solid state and {{p|Giratina}}'s {{type|Ghost}} represents the gaseous state.

Palkia's Origin Forme appears to be based on {{p|Arceus}}. It bears similarities to a {{wp|centaur}} and the winged horse {{wp|Pegasus}} from Greek mythology. As Arceus seems to take inspiration from the ''{{wp|qilin}}'', this influence is seen with Origin Forme Palkia as well with its mix of equine and draconic qualities (including Palkia's Dragon typing).

====Name origin====
Palkia may be derived from パール ''pāru'' (pearl), ''[[Wiktionary:galaxia|galaxia]]'', and 海 ''kai'' (sea, ocean, referring to their liquid state of matter theme).

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Dialga [[#Form data|transforms]] into its '''Origin Forme''' using the [[Adamant Crystal]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, Dialga is one of the [[Pokémon of myth]] created by {{p|Arceus}}, representing {{wp|time}}. In the past, it was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]] under the name '''almighty [[Sinnoh]]''' (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{ruby|様|さま}}''' ''Shin'ou-sama'').

Dialga is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond Version|s}} and its [[remake]] {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond}}, appearing on the box art of both games in its normal form.

==Biology==
[[File:Universal destruction BDSP.png|thumb|left|240px|Dialga destroying the {{pkmn|universe}}]]
Dialga is a dark-blue, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some gray metallic portions and light blue stripes. It has a chest plate on its torso, which has a deep blue diamond-like crystal embedded in the center. Dialga has a five-spiked fin-like structure on its back similar to a gear, three spines on the back of its neck, and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. The crest somewhat resembles the shape of a sundial's rod. It also has two structures on the sides of its head that extend outward and resemble horns and fangs. It has three claws on each foot, of the same metallic look as its chest plate.

According to the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] of the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beginning of existence, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} in which the Pokémon of time–Dialga, the Pokémon of space–{{p|Palkia}}, and the Pokémon of antimatter–{{p|Giratina}}, hatched from, all three in their {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}}. Arceus also created the [[lake guardians]] and gave them the mission of calming down Dialga or Palkia whenever they were enraged. After the [[Pokémon universe]] was created, Dialga retreated into its [[Dimension#Dialga's world|own dimension]], where it has lived since. It was revered and feared as a deity in the past, being worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]], who mistook it for Arceus and referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Dialga is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking human language]] via telepathy, as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Diamond Clan, [[Adaman]]. Dialga and Palkia may be also thrown into a frenzy by powerful [[space-time distortion]]s created by Giratina. They can control and spread said distortions, resulting in the generation of [[alpha Pokémon]] and causing [[noble Pokémon]] to become frenzied through lightning bolts that come out of them.

Dialga has the power to control time: it can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, reversing it, or stopping it altogether. It can also [[Time travel|travel through time]] to visit the past, present, and future. Additionally, it is capable of blasting its targets with {{m|Roar of Time|power that distorts time itself}}. It also has the power to destroy and create an entire universe, either by itself or with Palkia's aid. As shown in {{aniseries|JN}}, Dialga's temporal powers possess can make Pokémon to [[Devolution|devolve]] and cause [[Human|people]] and [[Flora of the Pokémon world|plant life]] to become younger, effects that it can reverse. It is said that time started moving when Dialga was born and will continue flowing as long as its heart beats. Dialga usually travels by levitating. Since it primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the anime, {{mov|Dialga}} has been shown to be very protective of its home, and as a result, tends to have violent conflicts with {{mov|Palkia}} when their dimensions intersect. The fin-like structure on its back is shaped radiating outwards and can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Roar of Time}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Dialga Origin Forme mouth open.png|thumb|right|240px|Origin Forme Dialga's plate mask opened]]
Dialga can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.

Said to be the its true appearance, Dialga's Origin Forme is drastically different from its usual sauropod-like look, being a hybrid between it, a dragon, and a [[wikipedia:Centaur|centaur]], while also resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The back legs of Dialga become unguligrade in shape and have pointed tips instead of feet. The front legs are noticeably larger, with three distinct rhomboid claws on the underside. Further up, Dialga's knees have rectangular, long, and thin protrusions. Its chest plate is gone; however, it has a similar polygonal shape in its place. On Dialga's neck is a large shape jutting out towards the front (giving it the appearance of a larger throat), along with two pairs of protrusions on either side, the upper pair being larger and resembling panels or wings. Inside this large shape and wing-like protrusions are deep blue diamond-like crystals, embedded into diamond-shaped grooves. The three spines located on the back of its neck are longer and sharper. Dialga's head has two thin arrow-shaped horns extending towards the top and back of its head, along with longer fang-like horns connected to a plate mask covering its lower jaw, which can shift in angle to reveal the mouth. The plate mask also partly covers the arrow-shaped horns on their sides. Around Dialga's abdomen is a cross made of four arrow shapes attached to a small wheel, reminiscent of Arceus's cross-wheel. The fin-like plate on Dialga's posterior has a star-shaped layer on top of it. The tail is much shorter and crystal-shaped. Overall, Dialga's entire body becomes larger and nearly completely dark blue. The crest, arrow-shaped horns, knee protrusions, and abdomen cross are light blue, while the tips of Dialga's fin-like plate and feet are dark gray.

Dialga is at its full power when in its Origin Forme, and is supposedly permanently in this state while in its home dimension, where time is said to be constantly moving in different directions and speeds. It has the power to warp, destroy, and create time.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dialga/ Dialga (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus]</ref> Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light; it can also be invoked using the [[Adamant Crystal]]. Origin Forme Dialga can unleash meteors and shockwaves, while its {{m|Roar of Time}} can be charged into a stronger version of itself, as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

;Primal Dialga
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Dialga, called [[Primal Dialga]] resembles a normal Dialga with a darkened color. The main body is colored dark blue. The center diamond-like crystal is colored dark orange. The lines in its body are also orange.

Primal Dialga cannot control time due to it being tampered with. It acts much more aggressively than Dialga normally would. It can still use its time abilities to some extent. It can also prevent others from time traveling, even cancelling out {{p|Celebi}}'s time powers.

===Form data===
Along with the other [[Pokémon of myth]], Dialga has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.

The standard form of Dialga debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, in which it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to an [[Adamant Crystal]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Dialga transforms into its Origin Forme while holding an Adamant Crystal. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Roar of Time}}, has modified base [[power]] and {{stat|accuracy}} when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.

[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|thumb|250px|Dialga in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dialga (movie)]]=====
Dialga made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It then briefly reappeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. During its trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}, who had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other two [[Pokémon of myth]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. After being injured, it sent Sheena, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to fix Arceus's betrayal.

=====Dialga (recurring)=====
A Dialga appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], Alternate World Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Dialga and Palkia were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Dialga and Palkia rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Dialga and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Dialga departed for its home.

====Minor appearances====
Dialga debuted in a fantasy in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Pokémon of myth (Adventures)}}
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Dialga first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.

===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the Pokémon of myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

When Hareta managed to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team===
{{main|Primal Dialga}}
Primal Dialga first appeared in [[BET3]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

====Trophy information====
''A Temporal Pokémon. This [[legendary Pokémon]] is talked about as a deity in [[Sinnoh myths|fables]] passed down through generations in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is {{game|Diamond}}'s [[Game mascot|mascot]].''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Dialga appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Dialga reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. Unlike in ''Brawl'', Cresselia is now signified by the stage's color tint not changing from its new default green, rather than using Dialga's blue. Dialga also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Temporal World.png|thumb|right|250px|Dialga's world in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']]
* In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Dialga has a catch rate of 30.
* The gem on Dialga's chest resembles a Prism [[Sphere]].
* Although Dialga is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story; it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay.
* Dialga is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] to have a role in four different movies.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the only two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be legitimately caught in every kind of [[Poké Ball]] in the core series to date (besides the [[Park Ball]], which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon), as they are the only two Pokémon that can be caught with the [[Origin Ball]].
* Although the portal to [[Dimension#Dialga's world|Dialga's world]] appears in [[core series]] games, the inside of that world has only been shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team for [[Pokémon]] suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the Spanish word ''alga'' (algae, seaweed).<ref>[https://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/2008/02/index.html "HIDDEN POWER of masuda" Director's Columns, No.122] (February 18, 2008)</ref>

===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. The turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

Its {{t|Steel}} [[type]] is likely to come from the concept of {{wp|adamant}}, which is an archaic word for diamond, meaning "unconquerable", where the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it. It is also possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamond}}s, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. The Steel-type might also represent the solid {{wp|state of matter}}, whereas Palkia's {{type|Water}} represents the liquid state and {{p|Giratina}}'s {{type|Ghost}} represents the gaseous state.

Dialga's Origin Forme appears to be based on {{p|Arceus}}. Like with Arceus, it may be based on a ''{{wp|qilin}}'' or ''{{wp|Longma}}'', as it possesses both equine and dragon-like qualities, the latter of which are more pronounced in Dialga's case due to its {{t|Dragon}} type.

====Name origin====
Dialga may be derived from ''diamond''. It may also involve ''día'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to the unit of time) or ''dial'' of {{wp|clock face|clock dial}}, {{wp|sundial}}, and 頑 ''ga'' (tough, referring to their solid state of matter theme).

===Disc 3===
Tracks 190, 205, 236-237, 252-255, and 257-263 are additions in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and not old-style rearrangements of tracks present in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|Crystal}}.

Tracks 172 and 173 cannot be heard during the game's opening or title screen since the [[GB Sounds]] does not work until it is activated during gameplay. The only way to play these and other old-style tracks in-game is by listening to the ''Pokémon Past Archive'' of the [[Pokémon Music Channel]] on {{DL|Days of the week|Sunday}}s.

List of Pokémon with gender differences

2026-01-05T13:27:42Z

Fawfaw: I took a look through Quagsire's artworks, and it seems its tail indicates the male form retains the original design

[[File:Pyroar gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pyroar}}'s gender difference in {{aniseries|XY}}; male (left) and female (right)]]
[[File:Pikachu gender difference anime.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pikachu}}'s gender difference in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''; female (left) and male (right)]]
Although most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} look identical regardless of [[gender]], some species have '''differences in appearance due to gender''', with noticeable differences between the males and females. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real organisms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.

Generation IV, in addition to introducing new Pokémon with gender differences, also modified several older Pokémon to have gender differences. In most cases, the male version retained the original design while the female was altered. However, the inverse is true for {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Xatu}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Milotic}}. These Pokémon, as well as {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Combee}}, {{p|Ambipom}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Gabite}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}, use their female designs for their official artwork, while other Pokémon with gender differences introduced in the first four [[generation]]s use the male designs. Noticeably, the {{p|Buizel}} evolutionary line does not show their backs in the official artwork; however, based on Buizel's debut in the [[M09|ninth movie]], the designs used in the artwork are likely those of the male variants (at least in Buizel's case).

Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced differ much more drastically in appearance and have separate official artwork for each gender. Starting in [[Generation VI]], some Pokémon even have different {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]], and/or [[move]]s they can learn depending on their gender.

Starting in Generation IV, certain Pokémon's [[Evolution]] is also [[Gender-based Evolution|affected by their gender]]. {{p|Burmy}} evolves into {{p|Wormadam}} if it is female or {{p|Mothim}} if it is male. Only female {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}} and {{p|Salazzle}}, respectively, with the males unable to evolve at all. Only male {{p|Kirlia}} can evolve into {{p|Gallade}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Gardevoir}}; similarly, only female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Froslass}}, though either gender can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}. However, Combee is the only one of these Pokémon to have a visual gender difference.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the {{player}}'s [[Pokédex]] to be able to display [[form]] differences, including gender differences. In later games, they are displayed from the start.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are a total of 102 Pokémon with gender differences.

==List of Pokémon==

There are 23 [[Generation I]] [[Pokémon]] with gender differences, 22 debuting in [[Generation IV]] and 1 debuting in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

==Trivia==
* {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are gendered counterparts in a similar vein to gender differences, but they are considered two separate species. They were introduced in [[Generation I]], prior to the introduction of [[gender]] as a mechanic in [[Generation II]] and of gender differences in [[Generation IV]]. Notably, {{pkmn|Egg}}s produced by Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂ can hatch into either Pokémon. A similar male-female gendered counterpart pair is {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}}, who also can produce Eggs containing each other.
** The male-female pairs {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}, as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}, can also be considered gendered counterparts, though they cannot produce Eggs containing each other.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences have unique distinctions:
** {{p|Garchomp}} is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] to have a gender difference.
** {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} is the only [[regional form]] of a Pokémon to have a gender difference.
** The {{p|Torchic}} evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] line where all of its members have gender differences.
** {{p|Politoed}} is the only Pokémon with gender differences from a [[List of Pokémon with branched Evolutions|branched Evolution line]] that evolves from a Pokémon without gender differences.
* {{t|Fairy}} is the only [[type]] that lacks a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with gender differences.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Pokémon with gender differences, with a total of 31.
** It was also the first [[generation]] to introduce [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on gender|gender-based Evolution]], and the first to introduce new gender differences to Pokémon established in previous generations.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Pokémon with gender differences of generations that introduced Pokémon with gender differences, introducing only one.

* [[Generation VII]] is the only generation that did not introduce any new Pokémon that have gender differences. However, it did introduce a new gender difference for {{p|Eevee}} that was initially exclusive to the player's {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}} Eevee.
* No [[Mega Evolution]]s or [[Gigantamax]] forms have gender differences, even if other forms of the same species do.
* Despite having very prominent gender differences, {{p|Hippopotas}} and {{p|Hippowdon}} only have artwork and a menu sprite for the male of the species.
** No depictions of female Hippowdon have ever appeared in the animated series.
* Despite {{p|Spinda}} not having any gender differences, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] displays separate models for male and female {{p|Spinda}}, using whichever spot pattern the player caught first for each gender.
* Some Pokémon with gender differences evolve into Pokémon that do not have gender differences, namely {{p|Pikachu}} evolving into {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Gloom}} evolving into {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Scyther}} evolving into {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Eevee}} evolving into the [[Eeveelution]]s, {{p|Murkrow}} evolving into {{p|Honchkrow}}, {{p|Girafarig}} evolving into {{p|Farigiraf}}, {{p|Gligar}} evolving into {{p|Gliscor}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Sneasel}} evolving into {{p|Sneasler}}, and {{p|Ursaring}} evolving into {{p|Ursaluna}}.
* Although {{p|Krookodile}} has no gender differences in the games, in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', a Krookodile who plays the role of "mother" in a litter of {{p|Sandile}} and {{p|Krokorok}} has pink eyelashes.

===Distribution===
{{main|List of other event distributions in Generation III#AuroraTicket|List of other event distributions in Generation III → AuroraTicket}}
The AuroraTicket was distributed during various Pokémon-related events and occasions in Japan, the United States, Mexico, and select European countries.

All possible language and version combinations of {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} were capable of obtaining this event, with the sole exception of Emerald's Japanese copies.

Due to all Japanese-compatible AuroraTicket distributions taking place between April 17 to August 31, 2004, (before Emerald was released, the distribution software at that time only had support for FireRed and LeafGreen), and all subsequent distributions being incompatible with Japanese game cartridges, Japanese language copies of Emerald were not capable of receiving this event.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/3040</ref>

====Electronic Game Show Giveaway====
In Mexico, the AuroraTicket was distributed during the {{wp|Electronic Game Show}} 2004, a video game convention that took place at the World Trade Center of Mexico City from October 22 to 24. The distribution event was a joint collaboration between Club Nintendo Mexico, [[Nintendo of America]] and Pokémex. To get the Ticket, players had to visit the Pokémon booth in the convention with their [[Game Boy Advance]], a cartridge of Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen and a [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]].

Fawfaw: /* List of event items */

An '''event item''' is a special type of item exclusively available via [[Event Pokémon|event distribution]]. Event items are usually used to obtain [[Mythical Pokémon]]; however, many items are exclusive to events despite being easily obtainable in other generations.

They are often available via local event distributions, but with the advent of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] in [[Generation IV]] they are also often available this way as well. From [[Generation III]] onward, they are usually available via [[Mystery Gift]]. The [[Eon Ticket]] is available through other methods in both generations it appears in, being available via [[e-Reader]] card and [[Record mixing|mixing records]] in Generation III and via [[StreetPass]] in [[Generation VI]] (although it is also available via Mystery Gift as well in both generations). The [[Star Sweet]] and [[Ribbon Sweet]] are only available outside of events through the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Pokémon Sword or Shield Expansion Pass]].

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a skilled [[Pokémon Trainer]] who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as the Hoenn League Champion during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, [[Wallace]] replaces him as the Champion, and it is unknown whether Steven was ever the Champion in this game.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Steven challenge RS.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Brendan}} challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
[[File:Steven Latios ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven flying on {{p|Latios}} with the player]]
[[File:Steven Pokémon League ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven challenging the player]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the Villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home in [[Hoenn]] after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} holding a [[Dawn Stone]] for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed and has it hold an [[Iron Plate]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|320px|Steven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and {{adv|Norman}} ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.

In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|their remakes}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player the [[TM]] for Steel Wing in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Multi Battle]].
** It is also the only Multi Battle with an NPC ally where the NPC's Pokémon gains [[experience]].
*** While it is normally impossible for Steven's {{p|Metang}} to gain enough experience in this battle to [[Level|level up]], enabling this through [[Cheating|hacking]] will cause Metang to evolve.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
** The ID number 11214 is a nod to the release date of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; November 21, 2014.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with {{Ash}} at the time when {{ashfr|the group}} met Steven.
** However, from ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
** In the games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to [[Wallace]] that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.
* In the rematch with Steven in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all of his Pokémon have at least one immunity.
** In the Elite Four and Champion rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use a Pokémon from {{p|Aerodactyl|Generation I}}.
* In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use {{p|Skarmory|a Pokémon}} that isn't from Generation III.
* In Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} share their battle theme with Steven.
* If the player skips obtaining the [[HM]] for {{m|Dive}} from Steven's house in Ruby and Sapphire (by [[Trade|trading]] in a Pokémon with the move), Steven will leave the HM at his house in the post-game alongside Beldum.
* In Emerald, during the Multi Battle at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], if the player has a Pokémon with {{a|Guts}} out at the same time with Steven's {{p|Skarmory}}, it may attempt to target the player's Pokémon with {{m|Toxic}} to trigger the [[Ability]].
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, when trading {{p|Forretress}} for Steven's Beldum, Steven has special dialogue if the traded Forretress has maximum [[friendship]].

The '''Tower duo''' is the [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|duo]]<ref>''"Legendary Pokémon Duo Lugia and Ho-Oh"'' - [https://press.pokemon.com/en/Legendary-Pokemon-Duo-Lugia-and-Ho-Oh-to-Star-in-Upcoming-Pokemon-Trad Wisdom of Sea and Sky] on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>''"Ho-Oh and Lugia are our final pair of Legendary Pokémon [...]"'' - "[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/one-last-chance-to-be-legendary One Last Chance to Be Legendary]" on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were [[Pokémon discovery|first discovered]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]]. Lugia is considered the guardian of the seas while Ho-Oh is considered the guardians of the skies.

==Overview==
Lugia, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, represents the sea, storms, and the color silver. Ho-Oh, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, represents the sky, rainbows, and the color gold. Both are also associated with their own [[Legendary trio]]s: Lugia is associated with the [[legendary birds]], although only in the anime, while Ho-Oh is associated with the [[Legendary beasts]].

The relationship between Ho-Oh and Lugia can be seen as a symbol of duality, reflecting contrast and coexistence, a motif explored more deeply in [[Generation V#Unova thematic motif|a later generation]]. The duo is said to represent the sun and moon, day and night, light and shadow, the sky and the depths of the sea, the above and the below.<ref>Nintendo DREAM vol.187 (November 2009 issue).</ref>

==History==

=== In the core series games ===
According to legend, about 700 years before the events of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], the people of [[Ecruteak City]] built two nine-tier towers, [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] and [[Bell Tower]], in hopes of fostering both friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. The west tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while in the east tower, the Pokémon chose to stop and rest there. Both towers were also the homes of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia resides in Brass Tower and Ho-Oh resides in the Bell Tower. For a time, there was peace and a close bond between the people and the Tower duo.

However, about 550 years later, a tragedy happened one night under the moon. Lugia's slumber was disturbed by a lightning storm that struck the Brass Tower with a powerful lightning bolt, engulfing it in flames for three days. Lugia attempted to use the winds to stop the flame, but this action put Ecruteak City in grave danger. Because of this, Lugia instead chose to call upon rain to put out the fire.

However, it was too late to save the Brass Tower, as it burned to the ground due to the damage. During this tragic event, three nameless Pokémon were tragically killed in the fire, much to the despair of the people. Fortunately, Ho-Oh descended from the sky and used its power to revive them. The Pokémon were reborn as {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. While this filled the people with awe, it also led to them fearing Ho-Oh due to its power to manipulate life. Ho-Oh and the Legendary beasts fled due to the violence of the people who feared Ho-Oh's power.

In despair of the destruction of the Brass Tower, Lugia flew away and chose to live in the ocean's depths. Lugia eventually settled at the [[Whirl Islands]]. According to the island's legend, at some point, the two countries fought each other over the island. In great anger, Lugia unleashed several lightning bolts to split the island into four separate islands. Lugia then dove into the deep end of the waterfall basin, disappearing in the process.

The Tower duo was never seen again after the fire and violence of the humans. The Brass Tower was never repaired, left as a reminder of what can be lost and regained, becoming what is now known as the Burned Tower. Two legends reveal when Lugia and Ho-Oh will return to Ecruteak City. When a Trainer who can touch the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|souls}} of Pokémon appears, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens to the Bell Tower. Lugia is said to return only when a human with a pure {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|heart}} appears before Lugia and that the invisible trust between people and Pokémon returns.

=== Pokémon the Series ===
In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] claimed that the two towers are the original [[Tin Tower]], which burned down, and a rebuilt one. According to that legend, invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh. This invasion failed as Ho-Oh resisted and flew away. In retaliation, the invaders burned down the Tin Tower. However, in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the story follows the game version, though retains the war aspect.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Ho-Oh first appeared as a silhouette in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', which shows a flashback of Green's capture, said event caused her to fear of bird Pokémon. It appeared again as a silhouette in ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', when Green was explaining to {{adv|Bill}} that she believes the [[Elite Four]] were the ones who controlled it to capture her.

Lugia had stayed dormant at [[Cerise Island]], until the [[Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four]] summoned it with Badge Amplifier in an attempt to exterminate humans.

I want them both! A: The two '''legendary birds''' are in both games. The question is, can you catch a Level-70 '''legendary bird'''? It's not that easy."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #138, page 79</ref><ref>''"How do I catch Lugia and Ho-Oh? You can't see the '''Legendary Birds''' until you have the magical object related to each—The Silver Wing in Lugia's case, the Rainbow Wing in Ho-Oh's."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #140, page 80</ref> and game guides<ref>''"The '''Legendary Bird''', Ho-Oh, is on the Tower's roof."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 40; ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 45</ref>.

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s. By the end of the main game in these games, he also becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.

==In the core series games==
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.

In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.

Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.

In {{B2W2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.

While he does not appear in {{g|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.

In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.

In {{LGPE}}, Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.

After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.

Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike Blue, however, Gary has not been shown to have taken over the [[Viridian Gym]].

Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.

==Trivia==
* In Generation I, battle animations are forcibly turned on during the battle against Blue even if the player has them turned off.
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc>, <sc>Rival2</sc>, and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1'', ライバル2 ''Rival 2'', and ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.
* Blue's [[first partner Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their first partner Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|animated series counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].
* In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are [[Evolution|evolved]] by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game, {{p|Eevee}}.
** Coincidentally, {{p|Magneton}}, a Pokémon he uses in these games if Eevee didn't evolve into Jolteon, would later be made capable of evolving further into {{p|Magnezone}}, which itself would become a potentially [[Thunder Stone]]-induced Evolution starting in [[Generation VIII]].
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.
* In {{LGPE}}, Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].

==Names==
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Blue named ブルー (''Blue'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]
While this character had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''). He appears as a [[non-player character]] in several [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] in English, or [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] in Japanese.

In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named [[Daisy Oak]], therefore he is presumably named '''Blue Oak''' as well.

The name '''Gary''', after Ash's rival in {{aniseries|PTS}}, has also been used. It is one of the default names listed in the games, and is used in ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998).

Other names and terms have also been used in various media:
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals simply refer to him as "your rival".
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name him based on a different Japanese game version, '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red''{{sup/1|GB}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|Y}}.
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} and '''{{Gary}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'').

This character is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''{{wp|Sony}}'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''いしはら''' ''Ishihara''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''クリチャ''' ''Kuricha''{{sup/1|B}}{{sup/1|Y}}) or '''Terry''' (Japanese: '''みてい''' ''Undefined''){{sup/3|FRLG}}. At least in Generation I, this name would not appear in regular gameplay, but could be displayed if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} are changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref>
* The English "'''Sony'''" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.
* The Japanese '''いしはら''' (''Ishihara'') refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time
* The Japanese '''クリチャ''' (''Kuricha'') refers to [[Creatures, Inc.]] (Japanese: クリーチャーズ ''Creatures'').
* The Japanese '''みてい''' is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".

During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, he was initially named '''ギャラ夫''' (''Gyarao''), a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref>

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as the Hoenn League Champion during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, [[Wallace]] replaces him as the Champion, and it is unknown whether Steven was ever the Champion in this game.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Steven challenge RS.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Brendan}} challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
[[File:Steven Latios ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven flying on {{p|Latios}} with the player]]
[[File:Steven Pokémon League ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven challenging the player]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the Villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home in [[Hoenn]] after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} holding a [[Dawn Stone]] for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed and has it hold an [[Iron Plate]].

Steven briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|320px|Steven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and {{adv|Norman}} ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.

In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|their remakes}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player the [[TM]] for Steel Wing in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Multi Battle]].
** It is also the only Multi Battle with an NPC ally where the NPC's Pokémon gains [[experience]].
*** While it is normally impossible for Steven's {{p|Metang}} to gain enough experience in this battle to [[Level|level up]], enabling this through [[Cheating|hacking]] will cause Metang to evolve.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
** The ID number 11214 is a nod to the release date of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; November 21, 2014.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with {{Ash}} at the time when {{ashfr|the group}} met Steven.
** However, from ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
** In the games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to [[Wallace]] that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as the Hoenn League Champion during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, [[Wallace]] replaces him as the Champion, but it is unknown whether Steven was ever the Champion in this game.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Steven challenge RS.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Brendan}} challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
[[File:Steven Latios ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven flying on {{p|Latios}} with the player]]
[[File:Steven Pokémon League ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven challenging the player]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the Villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home in [[Hoenn]] after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} holding a [[Dawn Stone]] for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed and has it hold an [[Iron Plate]].

Steven briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|320px|Steven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and {{adv|Norman}} ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.

In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|their remakes}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player the [[TM]] for Steel Wing in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Multi Battle]].
** It is also the only Multi Battle with an NPC ally where the NPC's Pokémon gains [[experience]].
*** While it is normally impossible for Steven's {{p|Metang}} to gain enough experience in this battle to [[Level|level up]], enabling this through [[Cheating|hacking]] will cause Metang to evolve.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
** The ID number 11214 is a nod to the release date of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; November 21, 2014.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with {{Ash}} at the time when {{ashfr|the group}} met Steven.
** However, from ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
** In the games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to [[Wallace]] that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.
* In the rematch with Steven in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all of his Pokémon have at least one immunity.
** In the Elite Four and Champion rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use a Pokémon from {{p|Aerodactyl|Generation I}}.
* In Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} share their battle theme with Steven.
* If the player skips obtaining the [[HM]] for {{m|Dive}} from Steven's house in Ruby and Sapphire (by [[Trade|trading]] in a Pokémon with the move), Steven will leave the HM at his house in the post-game alongside Beldum.
* In Emerald, during the Multi Battle at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], if the player has a Pokémon with {{a|Guts}} out at the same time with Steven's {{p|Skarmory}}, it may attempt to target the player's Pokémon with {{m|Toxic}} to trigger the [[Ability]].
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, when trading {{p|Forretress}} for Steven's Beldum, Steven has special dialogue if the traded Forretress has maximum [[friendship]].

== Add a quote from HGSS? ==
When you encounter Steven in HGSS, he mentoins that he couldn't have met you before, since all of the trainers that battle with him seem to look the same. Was wondering if this would be worthy of mentioning; it seemed interesting to me, at least, that he acknowledged the fact that all of us look the same in-game. [[User:Vhazhiphor|Vhazhiphor]] 06:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:Rather than anything meta-related, I think it's more evidence of his aloofness - this, along with at the end of the Enigma Crystal event when he reveals that ''he hasn't even bothered to learn your name''. However, this could just be me fanwanking over the tiniest bits of information about my favorite character, so I'll just put that out there and let other, less biased people be the judge. :V [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 15:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

== NPC of Kanto? ==

In the tag listing the NPCs of Kanto and the Sevii Islands it includes Steven Stone. Shouldn't he be in NPCs of Hoenn? Because I'm sure he never appears in FRLG. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 16:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== HG/SS ==

Steven still considers himself the Champion in these games. So would Brendan/May have already beaten him (I guess suggested by what he says?) since Gen II should take place afterwards, and where would Wallace and Emerald be in all of this?{{unsigned|ZeroExalted}}

He could've easily beaten it again in these three years [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:26, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== May/Brendan theme instead of the Champion theme ==

Shouldn't it be put as trivia that when battled in Emerald , the May/Brendan theme is played instead of the Champion or the trainer theme ?? [[User:Pokemon94|Pokemon94]] 17:14, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== HG/SS pokemon ==

Shouldn't it also be added that Steven has a Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip in his party with Beldum? We know what the moves are, since they are all level 5. In addition, should Forretress be added too, but along with a note saying that the player has to trade it? --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 04:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Steven's Beldum ==

Steven has everytime he meets the player a Beldum or one of his evolutionary family on his teem. In Ruby and Saphire he hass a Matang that evolves in a Metagross. Later he gifes the player a Beldum in Mosdeep City. In HGSS he trades his Beldum for a Forretres. Can this added to the Trivia? --[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 15:01, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:Currently, nothing can be added to the trivia. And besides, I don't think that would make good trivia; it's really just two different occurrences, neither of them that unusual. Metagross is his signature Pokémon, and he gives/trades away Beldum. That's not trivia, it's just the way he rolls. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 17:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

::::::For anyone reading this, the Spanish quote above comes from the moment when Ethan/Lyra first meets Steven in Vermilion City in HGSS. I initially misunderstood because I saw "Emerald" and "used to be Champion", so I’m sharing my interpretation to avoid confusion. If this Steven follows Ruby/Sapphire canon, the past tense in the Spanish version likely refers to Brendan/May becoming Champion. If this Steven follows Emerald canon, the past tense likely refers to him having been Champion before Wallace. -> However, since we do not know which version of Steven this is, whether he was once Champion before Wallace in Emerald remains unanswered. --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 17:45, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

== More dialogue and Beldum information ==

I can't edit the article so I will place it here for anyone to paste. This happens after you defeat the Elite 4 in Ruby & Sapphire and Emerald:

=====Steven's house=====
:''"... ... ... ... ... ..."''
:''"To <player>..."''
:''"I've decided to do a little soul-searching and train on the road. I don't plan to return home for some time."''
:''"I have a favor to ask of you."''
:''"I want you to take the POKé BALL on the desk. Inside it is a BELDUM, my favorite POKéMON."''
:''"I'm counting on you."''
:''"May our paths cross again someday."''
:''"STEVEN STONE"''

Steven types with very short lines that does not share the same text block, that's why I arranged the lines like that.

The Pokémon in the table is a level 5 unnamed Beldum (which the player can name), whose only move is Take Down and carries no item neither ribbon. States that was met at Mossdeep City. Nature and ID are random. The OT is the player and not Steven. [[User:LurKasumi|LurKasumi]] 10:54, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for the information; I've added the note's quote to the article (to the best of my ability). As for the gift Beldum that Steven leaves for the player, I had planned to use the template/infobox that is currently used for his trade in HGSS, but I think that [[Gift Pokémon]] would need a slightly different (although very similar) template.

==We Need Proof==
How do we know that Steven will be the Champion in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. For all we know, it could be Wallace. We need some proof. And I KNOW these are remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, so Steven COULD be the Champion. But this takes place in "a whole new world", so don't blame me if you see Wallace as the Champion in the remakes. I'm hoping for Wallace as the Champion, because I really want to battle Juan, and they don't sell Emerald anymore except on online auction websites. Crum Mum 21:56, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

== Mossdeep Space Center Multi Battle Pokémon ==

== Canon age ==

I've seen screencaps of his age being confirmed as 25 in ORAS, but have yet to trigger the event myself.

== Mumu ==

In [[PAORAS01]], I saw Steven with {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Swampert}}, [[Mumu]], for a bit while Ruby was off to [[Southern Island]] at the time and commanded him to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}} while {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Emerald}} commanded their starters to use the ultimate moves.

==New English voice actor?==
So, CN released the dub versions of the mega evolution shorts http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/# and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems they gave him a different actor than the trailer. -- [[User:AmaranthineChaos|AmaranthineChaos]] ([[User talk:AmaranthineChaos|talk]]) 11:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

I think you're right (and it wouldn't be the first time there was a VA switch between game promo animations and the main anime), but we won't know for sure until we see the credits of the special on Saturday. It sounds like Wayne Grayson to me, but I'd hold back on any edits until the episode airs. [[User:Burners|Burners]] ([[User talk:Burners|talk]]) 18:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Looks like Andrew Paull returned for this role. Will add it to SS031's page as there's no need to edit anything here. --[[User:AmaranthineChaos|AmaranthineChaos]] ([[User talk:AmaranthineChaos|talk]]) 19:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Stevens Aron was really in Mega Evo Special 2? --[[User:Altruis|Altruis]] [[User talk:Altruis|''でんき'']] 14:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

It... Kind of was. It showed up for two seconds while pushing a hunk of stone in the background before Steven showed Lysandre his piece of the wood relic, but he didn't take ownership of or acknowledge it. So it's implied that it's his, but not stated outright. That being said, should we add it to the page? --[[User:Burners|Burners]] ([[User talk:Burners|talk]]) 06:50, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

== Change the Age section? ==

Now that we know his age is 25 in ORAS, and ORAS replaces RSE in the timeline, can we say that he's 28 in HGSS and 30+ in B2W2, like we did with Red? --[[User:JoeIsCool|JoeIsCool]] ([[Special:Random|I refuse to be]] [[Special:MyTalk|communicated with!]]) 23:30, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

The whole "parallel universe" thing is kind of too sticky for us to mess with, so we'll leave it for now. Note that FRLG and HGSS didn't have this whole parallel universe thing and simply replaced the games in the timeline.

Steven is one of the few characters in Pokémon franchise with a surname in the japanese version.--[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 03:24, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
:Not notable, as he's not the only one. Off the top of my head, I can easily also think of [[Professor Oak|Dr. Yukinari Okido]] and [[Platinum (Adventures)|Platinum Berlitz]], and I'm sure there are ''way'' more than that. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Not notable? But i recall reading about this in Platinum´s page, there´re still a few characters, that should be notable because even the protagonists don´t have their full names revealed save for Green Okido and Isamu Akai.--[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 08:15, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

That was deleted a few days ago, because it was not notable. Hypothetically if in the next 10 years more protagonists in the Adventures manga get last names, then that would already be the number of main protagonists over the years of the anime.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]10:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

== Voice actor in the animated trailer ==

I don't know if it's relevant to Bulbapedia, but Steven is currently the only character to have the same (Japanese) voice actor in the main anime and the animated trailer. [[User:Ratcicle Fan|Ratcicle Fan]] ([[User talk:Ratcicle Fan|talk]]) 17:25, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

== Match Call information ==

Can I move everything in the Trainer Eyes/Match Call section of this article to the separate "Steven Stone/quotes" article to be consistent with the way we listed Match Call information for Brendan, May, and Wally? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 21:51, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
:Steven's not the only one formatted like this. I think this format highlights a few (explicit) sound bites about a character, and I think that's a little nicer than burying it in all their other quotes. IMO Brendan, May, and Wally should have their basic Trainer's Eye/Match Call info near the top like Steven. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
::Done. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 03:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

== Steel specialist? ==
I already asked this in the Steel talk page, with no answer, so I will ask here too.

Are we sure Steven is a specialist? He say Steel is his favourite type... but... that's it... don't necessarly mean he is specialized on it. There is an actual source where say he is? Because even considering all the pokemon he have, he have more no-Steel then Steel (even counting Masters). Alder have a similar situation of Steven, but he is not considered specialist at all here. So... why he is?

Another question is about Lillie. Is she confirmed to be a Fairy specialist somewhere? Ok, all Pokémon she use are Fairy, but... are only 3 Pokémon, we have others exemples of similar cases like Proton (or Petrel, not sure who of the two) and two of the Team Flare scientists that have respectivly only Poison and only Dark, but they aren't considered specialists at all. There is any source that state Steven and Lillie are actually specialists?--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 10:23, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
:This user already got [[User talk:Force_Fire/Archive 12#Steven|the answer on Steven elsewhere]] but to ultimately clarify, so it doesn't seem like it went unanswered: Steven says he's uses Steel types in his RSE Trainer's Eyes, and there's no reason to believe this doesn't remain true even though the header has changed from 'trainer's pokemon' to 'favorite pokemon'.

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキ・ダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is a skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]'s [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], as well as the Hoenn League Champion during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, he is a former Champion, with [[Wallace]] taking his place.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Steven challenge RS.png|thumb|left|250px|{{ga|Brendan}} challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
[[File:Steven Latios ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven flying on {{p|Latios}} with the player]]
[[File:Steven Pokémon League ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Steven challenging the player]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[Villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the Villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home in [[Hoenn]] after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} holding a [[Dawn Stone]] for a {{p|Forretress}}.

If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed and has it hold an [[Iron Plate]].

Steven briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|thumb|320px|Steven in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and {{adv|Norman}} ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.

In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.

====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.

==Trivia==
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|their remakes}}, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is {{p|Beldum}} and that his favorite move is {{m|Steel Wing}}. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a {{pkmn2|gift}} for the {{player}}, and gives the player the [[TM]] for Steel Wing in [[Granite Cave]].
* In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]].
* The battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a [[Multi Battle]].
** It is also the only Multi Battle with an NPC ally where the NPC's Pokémon gains [[experience]].
*** While it is normally impossible for Steven's {{p|Metang}} to gain enough experience in this battle to [[Level|level up]], enabling this through [[Cheating|hacking]] will cause Metang to evolve.
* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
** The ID number 11214 is a nod to the release date of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire; November 21, 2014.
* Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with [[Brock]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]. In the French dub of ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'', he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with {{an|Brock}}, who was traveling with {{Ash}} at the time when {{ashfr|the group}} met Steven.
** However, from ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'' onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
** In the games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to [[Wallace]] that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.
* In the rematch with Steven in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all of his Pokémon have at least one immunity.
** In the Elite Four and Champion rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use a Pokémon from {{p|Aerodactyl|Generation I}}.
* In Emerald, {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} share their battle theme with Steven.
* If the player skips obtaining the [[HM]] for {{m|Dive}} from Steven's house in Ruby and Sapphire (by [[Trade|trading]] in a Pokémon with the move), Steven will leave the HM at his house in the post-game alongside Beldum.
* In Emerald, during the Multi Battle at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], if the player has a Pokémon with {{a|Guts}} out at the same time with Steven's {{p|Skarmory}}, it may attempt to target the player's Pokémon with {{m|Toxic}} to trigger the [[Ability]].
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, when trading {{p|Forretress}} for Steven's Beldum, Steven has special dialogue if the traded Forretress has maximum [[friendship]].

Event item

2025-12-14T16:11:44Z

Fawfaw: /* List of event items */ Japanese version of Emerald still had the Mystery Event feature

An '''event item''' is a special type of item exclusively available via [[Event Pokémon|event distribution]]. Event items are usually used to obtain [[Mythical Pokémon]]; however, many items are exclusive to events despite being easily obtainable in other generations.

They are often available via local event distributions, but with the advent of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] in [[Generation IV]] they are also often available this way as well. From [[Generation III]] onward, they are usually available via [[Mystery Gift]]. The [[Eon Ticket]] is available through other methods in both generations it appears in, being available via [[e-Reader]] card and [[Record mixing|mixing records]] in Generation III and via [[StreetPass]] in [[Generation VI]] (although it is also available via Mystery Gift as well in both generations). The [[Star Sweet]] and [[Ribbon Sweet]] are only available outside of events through the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Pokémon Sword or Shield Expansion Pass]].

Eon Ticket

2025-12-14T16:10:10Z

Fawfaw: /* Generation III */ Japanese version of Emerald still had the Mystery Event feature

{{samename|song|Eon Ticket (song)}}

The '''Eon Ticket''' (Japanese: '''むげんのチケット''' ''Infinite Ticket'') is an [[event item|event]] [[Key Item]] in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}. It cannot be obtained normally in-game; instead, it must be downloaded at a promotional event or using the [[Pokémon_Battle_e_Promotional_cards|Eon Ticket e-Card]].

===Effect===
====Generation III====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after the {{player}} receives the Eon Ticket from [[Norman]] and has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], the first time they attempt to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] from the {{DL|Lilycove City|Lilycove City Harbor}}, a {{tc|Sailor}} will replace the usual guide and offer to take the player to Southern Island.

The [[Eon duo|Eon Pokémon]] that did not [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] Hoenn will appear on [[Southern Island]]: {{p|Latias}} in Pokémon Ruby, {{p|Latios}} in Pokémon Sapphire, and depending on the player's choice in Pokémon Emerald. The player battles the Legendary Pokémon in a standard stationary encounter; it does not appear as a roaming Pokémon and will not attempt to flee.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the player cannot return to Southern Island after battling this Pokémon, regardless of the outcome of the battle. In Pokémon Emerald, the player can freely return to the island regardless of the battle's outcome.

====Generation VI====
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player receives the Eon Ticket from the deliveryperson in a [[Pokémon Center]], they are prompted to talk to [[Norman]]. If the player talks to [[Norman]] in the [[Petalburg Gym]] after obtaining the [[Mega Bracelet]] and Eon Ticket, he will escort the player to the {{DL|Slateport City|Slateport Harbor}}, where a Sailor replaces the usual guide and takes the player to Southern Island.

At the back of the island's forest is Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}}, who will battle the player if interacted with. This Pokémon is not holding its [[Mega Stone]], unlike the Eon Pokémon encountered on the first visit. After catching it, the player will immediately find a [[Soul Dew]] on the ground and put it in their Bag; if the battle ends with the Pokémon not being caught, it will remain staring at the player.

===Distribution===
[[File:Eon Ticket e-Card.jpg|thumb|200px|Eon Ticket e Card]]
====Generation III====
Distribution methods varied worldwide. In North America, the Eon Ticket could be transferred to the games through [[Mystery Gift|Mystery Events]] using an [[e-Reader]] and the Eon Ticket e-Card. In Europe, it was possible to get the Eon Ticket at promotional events, but it could also be downloaded through Mystery Events from special [[Nintendo]] cartridges via [[Game Link Cable]].

A player that received their Eon Ticket from either the e-Card or a promotional event is able to share up to 30 Eon Tickets with other players via [[record mixing]]. However, Eon Tickets received via record mixing cannot be shared further. Record mixing is the only way to obtain the Eon Ticket in international versions of Emerald. The number of Eon Tickets a player can distribute will decrease by one for each game connected to the player distributing the Eon Tickets whenever or not the receiving player already has one.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/bcd5fc1481dc540d9007f1a82a2862e7d6e7de77/src/mystery_event_script.c#L150</ref>

A physical copy of the ticket was available through ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' vol. 173 (November 2003).<ref name=NP173>"Scan it then travel to a [[Southern Island|secret island]] in [[Hoenn]]! To learn how to use the ticket, read this month's [[Pokécenter]]." ''[[Nintendo Power]]''. Vol. 173. [[Nintendo of America|Nintendo of America Inc.]] November 2003. pp. 114–115.</ref><ref name=NP173Archive>comiclogfan1846 (December 14, 2021). [https://archive.org/details/nintendo-power-issue-173-november-2003/page/n119/mode/2up Nintendo Power Issue 173 ( November 2003)]. ''Internet Archive''. Retrieved May 6, 2023.</ref>

=====Eon Ticket e-Card=====
The '''Eon Ticket e-Card''' is a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional Pokémon e Card]] which was available at E3 2003, in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' vol. 173 (November 2003)<ref name=NP173></ref><ref name=NP173Archive></ref> and for a limited time at Toys "R" Us stores. This card transfers the Eon Ticket via [[Mystery Events]] to the Key Items pocket of a US Version of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire]]. The Eon Ticket allows players to travel to [[Southern Island]] and catch either {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, the one opposite of the player's version, except in {{game|Emerald}}, where the roaming Pokémon is chosen by the player and the one not chosen will be at Southern Island. Since the non-Japanese versions of {{game|Emerald}} had removed the [[Mystery Event]] feature that was present in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, the Eon Ticket can only be obtained in Emerald by mixing records with a Ruby or Sapphire game that scanned the ticket into their game and didn’t also receive it through record mixing. The number of Eon Tickets a player can distribute is limited to 30 and will decrease by one for each game connected to the host whenever or not the receiving player already had an Eon Ticket.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/bcd5fc1481dc540d9007f1a82a2862e7d6e7de77/src/mystery_event_script.c#L150</ref> The wild Pokémon will always be holding [[Soul Dew]] when it is caught. This is the only place that Soul Dew can be legally obtained in Generation III. Once the island is left, it cannot be returned to even with the ticket still in hand, though only in Ruby and Sapphire; in Emerald, the island remains accessible.

=====Electronic Game Show Giveaway=====
In Mexico, the Eon Ticket was given away during the {{wp|Electronic Game Show}} 2003, a videogame conference that took place at the World Trade Center of Mexico City from October 23 to 26. The distribution event was a joint collaboration between Club Nintendo Mexico and Nintendo of America. To get the item, players just had to go to the Nintendo booth where the employees gave them the Eon Ticket e-Card.

=====Eon Ticket Tour=====
[[File:Eon_Ticket_tour.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The announcement used to advertise the event.]]
The Eon Ticket was distributed in various locations of Spain in December 2003. To get the item, players had to go to a specific location from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM with their Game Boy Advance (any model) and their Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire cartridge. A Nintendo employee transfered the item with an e-Reader and an Eon Ticket e-Card.<ref>https://pokemon.fandom.com/es/wiki/Lista_de_eventos_de_la_tercera_generación#Pokémon_Rubí_y_Zafiro</ref>

====Generation VI====
{{bulbanews/3|Mega Beedrill, Mega Pidgeot revealed|Eon Ticket to be available at select Game Mania stores in the Netherlands and Belgium|Eon Ticket to be distributed via code for North America, Europe}}

The Eon Ticket was revealed to return in the [[remake]]s {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. A serial code to download the ticket was included in the December 2014 issue of [[CoroCoro]]. In the United States, Play! Pokémon League Leaders were given codes to distribute to participants at nearly a thousand Pokémon League locations. New York City's Nintendo World Store also had the Eon Ticket until January 14, 2015.
Additionally, the Eon Ticket was made available in the United Kingdom to 15 members of the public, who would pass the ticket to certain GAME stores throughout the country via StreetPass, who could then pass those on to customers who visit the store. This was officially marketed as "[https://web.archive.org/web/20150809214537/http://www.pokemoneonticketuk.com/ The Great Eon Ticket Relay]" event.

The Eon Ticket can be received via [[StreetPass]] from another player who obtained it via StreetPass or serial code.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141120131550/http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/get-the-eon-ticket-via-streetpass/</ref> It was also possible to obtain from other players online via {{wp|SpotPass and StreetPass#StreetPass Relay|StreetPass Relay}} when visiting {{wp|Nintendo Zone}}s until March 28, 2018 when the Nintendo Zone service was largely discontinued.

An Eon Ticket received through StreetPass will not appear in the Mystery Gift Card Album. As a result, the Eon Ticket will always be handed out as the last gift by the delivery girl.

==Trivia==
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, upon being shown the Eon Ticket, [[Norman]] remarks that he has not seen such a ticket for 11 years. This references the item's first distribution date (January 2003 compared to November 2014).

Event item

Fawfaw: /* List of event items */

An '''event item''' is a special type of item exclusively available via [[Event Pokémon|event distribution]]. Event items are usually used to obtain [[Mythical Pokémon]]; however, many items are exclusive to events despite being easily obtainable in other generations.

They are often available via local event distributions, but with the advent of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] in [[Generation IV]] they are also often available this way as well. From [[Generation III]] onward, they are usually available via [[Mystery Gift]]. The [[Eon Ticket]] is available through other methods in both generations it appears in, being available via [[e-Reader]] card and [[Record mixing|mixing records]] in Generation III and via [[StreetPass]] in [[Generation VI]] (although it is also available via Mystery Gift as well in both generations). The [[Star Sweet]] and [[Ribbon Sweet]] are only available outside of events through the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Pokémon Sword or Shield Expansion Pass]].

Delta Episode

2025-12-13T14:30:59Z

Fawfaw: too lengthy, my bad

{{spoilers}}
[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|Promotional artwork for the Delta Episode]]
[[File:ORAS Mega Rayquaza Deoxys artwork.png|thumb|Encounter between [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Deoxys}}]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that is on course for collision with the planet, with a focus on the history of [[Mega Evolution]]. This episode features a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]], who seeks out the help of {{p|Rayquaza}} as part of the [[Draconid people]].

As part of the post game plot that continues from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, many elements of Delta Episode may be inspired by {{g|Emerald}}, a sister title to {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}.

==Plot==
After the {{player}} defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with [[Mom (Hoenn)|the player's mother]] and [[Norman]] discussing the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]] and their plans to watch it at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. However, Norman reveals that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with their tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cut scene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the Mossdeep Space Center with a warning siren sounding. A [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably the [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, which seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep it from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop the [[Sky Pillar]] changing out of her uniform and into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]]. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to undergo [[Primal Reversion]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as they normally would after defeating the [[Hoenn League]]. The [[Mom (Hoenn)|player's mother]] and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a [[Pair of Tickets]] and suggests they take their [[friend]], {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinnia has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called [[PokéNav#Match Call|Entry Call]] that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. To aid this plan, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]], which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
[[File:Zinnia Granite Cave ORAS.png|thumb|left|240px|Zinnia at Granite Cave]]
In [[Granite Cave]], the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her {{p|Whismur}}) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===
On the second floor of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], the player will find Steven and Professor Cozmo. After receiving the Meteorite Shard, the Professor will explain the plan to divert the meteoroid. This involves sending up a rocket and combining the Infinity Energy that powers it with human life energy like that found in Key Stones to recreate the massive energy used for Mega Evolution. This energy will be fired from the rocket to create a warp hole in the meteoroid's path, which will transport it [[Pokémon multiverse|somewhere far away]].

In the middle of Professor Cozmo's explanation, Zinnia appears to warn the group that using Infinity Energy means their plan will only repeat past mistakes. She hints as well at a new and greater atrocity that their plan will cause. She expresses disappointment that, with all of human knowledge and technology, they can't come up with a better plan.

After Zinnia leaves, Professor Cozmo continues, explaining that creating the warp hole will actually require a second, purer Meteorite Shard, which can only be found at [[Meteor Falls]]. Hearing this, Steven heads for Meteor Falls, telling the player to follow as soon as they are able.

===Meteor Falls===
At [[Meteor Falls]], the player will find Steven and a woman he introduces as a descendant of the ancient [[Draconid people]] at the back of the room above the waterfall. The Draconid people are tasked with passing down the knowledge and story of Mega Evolution, which started with {{p|Rayquaza}}. The woman explains that, in the past, when a great disaster shook [[Hoenn]], the Lorekeeper would offer up a wish to Rayquaza in front of a stone shining with rainbow light. In response to this wish, Rayquaza's body would become suffused with light and it would transform, gaining even greater power. She notes that later people would call this phenomenon "Mega Evolution".

The woman goes on to explain that the Lorekeeper is the person who has inherited the knowledge and power to summon Rayquaza if the world is again threatened. She then reveals that Zinnia is the current Lorekeeper, and that it was Zinnia who taught Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} how to revive Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, planning to use that threat to summon Rayquaza so that she could then ask it to stop the meteoroid.

Steven is shocked that Zinnia would be involved in reviving the super-ancient Pokémon despite knowing the havoc they would wreak and the inevitable sacrifice it would cost. The woman contends that balance is the rule of the world and that even Steven's own solution must involve some sacrifice. She informs him that Zinnia will stick by her convictions to the end, even if it should mean sacrificing her own life.

Troubled by what he has learned, Steven decides to head back to Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua|Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] next, where he also believes Steven is.

===Mossdeep City===
As the player approaches the Space Center, they will first catch sight of Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} and a group of Grunts as they make their move on the Space Center. Upon entering the Space Center, the player will find most of the visitors and employees clustered nervously in a corner opposite to the group of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts who are blocking the stairs to the second floor. After defeating the Grunts in a [[Horde Encounter|Horde]] battle, the player will find Courtney/Matt confronting Steven and Professor Cozmo upstairs.

Distraught that their leader's plans were foiled, Courtney/Matt decide they want to detonate the rocket, which contains even more power than the [[ultimate weapon]] in the war 3,000 years ago, destroying the world and thereby fulfilling [[Project AZOTH]]'s goals. Steven implores the player to help him stop them.

After Courtney/Matt is defeated, Aster shows up and snatches the dimensional shifter before the player has a chance to reclaim it. Zinnia then appears as well and claims that, while the dimensional shifter may indeed be their planet's best hope for being saved, it could also be an equally terrible tragedy for another planet. She tells of lore her people have passed down through the generations: that the mechanism of Mega Evolution also brings about distortions in the world, and that {{pkmn|multiverse|another world}} exists much like their own, yet also different. She suggests that in that other world, Mega Evolution is unknown, the war 3,000 years ago never happened, and the ultimate weapon was never built; and therefore, it would not have the technology to save itself if the asteroid appeared over it.

Unable to tolerate the chance that a helpless world might be put in danger just to save their own, Zinnia crushes the dimensional shifter. Steven and Professor Cozmo are dismayed at being robbed of their only hope, but Zinnia claims that she will be able to protect both worlds.

Zinnia then rushes Courtney/Matt and steals their Key Stone. Before she leaves, Zinnia mentions that she will be going after their leader's Key Stone at their base next.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===
Upon entering the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player will first notice a group of Grunts clustered around the entrance who have encountered Zinnia on her way into the base. As the player progresses through the base, other Grunts will battle the player, once again on alert after Zinnia's intrusion.

When the player arrives at [[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} room, they will be just in time to witness Zinnia claiming victory after a battle with the leader. Before the player can stop her, Zinnia snatches Maxie/Archie's Key Stone from him. She then says she has everything she needs to summon Rayquaza. Before she leaves, Zinnia invites the player to follow her to the [[Sky Pillar]].

When Zinnia is gone, Maxie/Archie will direct [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} to give the player his Mega Stone ([[Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}}), which is useless to him without his Key Stone, and he entrusts the player with the task of standing against Zinnia.

Steven will then call the player on the Entry Call app. When the player fills him in on what has happened, he says he is beginning to understand and asks the player to meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center again.

===Mossdeep City===
At the Space Center, Steven reveals that only a Lorekeeper, those tasked with passing on the knowledge of the ancient world, can enter the Sky Pillar. He then reveals that [[Wallace]] is also a Lorekeeper and will know how to undo the Sky Pillar's seal. Steven decides to remain with the professor and his team to come up with a new plan to stop the meteoroid, leaving the task of stopping Zinnia to the player. He advises the player to look for Wallace in the [[Cave of Origin]] at [[Sootopolis City]].

===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, having heard from Steven, Wallace explains that, as a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, he can open the way to the Sky Pillar for the player. He also explains that the Sky Pillar is an altar built to Rayquaza, and that only the Draconids know how to summon Rayquaza.

Wallace tells the player that he will head to the Sky Pillar and to follow after as soon as they are ready. He informs the player that the Sky Pillar is located on one of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}'s small islands.

===Route 131===
When the player arrives at the island where the Sky Pillar is located, Wallace has already undone the seal and is waiting for the player. Before he will allow the player to enter, however, he asks the player to prove that they have the power to confront what lies ahead and challenges them to a battle.

After the player defeats him, Wallace tells the player that they may proceed, but he is unable to accompany the player inside himself. Instead, Wallace says he will return to Sootopolis and try to make his own contingency plans.

===Sky Pillar===

[[File:Zinnia Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|240px|Zinnia at Sky Pillar]]
[[File:Encountering Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|Encountering Rayquaza]]
Just inside the entrance to the tower of the Sky Pillar, the player will find Zinnia waiting for them. As the player ascends the tower, she will tell the story of the Draconids' history, which is also enshrined in a mural covering the entire back wall of the tower.

Two=Thousands of years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy which [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} constantly fought over, causing endless disaster for the people caught helpless in the face of their great power. Then, a storm of meteoroids fell upon [[Meteor Falls|a waterfall]] that a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users had long called home. The meteors shone with a rainbow light, and, apparently in response to their light, Rayquaza descended from the heavens and quelled the pair of Primal Pokémon with its overwhelming power, bringing peace back to the world. The people of Hoenn took to revering Rayquaza as their savior.

A thousand years later, the meteoroids fell once again, and this time a huge meteoroid struck the planet and bore out the crater that would eventually become [[Sootopolis City]]. The impact cracked the lands, causing a great upswell of natural energy which once again woke Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, threatening further disasters. The people then prayed that Rayquaza would appear again to save them as it had before, and the huge meteorite that had bored out Sootopolis shone as if it were a huge [[Key Stone]], and Rayquaza descended. In response to the people's wish for salvation and the light of the stone, Rayquaza underwent a change: [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Rayquaza's {{a|Delta Stream}} subdued the power of the Primal Pokémon, and they returned to their dwelling places. [[AZ|A tall visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]] referred to Mega Rayquaza as the Δ (Delta) and said it was born of the world's disturbances and would calm them.

After this event, the Draconids built the Sky Pillar to hold the huge Key Stone that had granted Rayquaza its power, to bring themselves closer to Rayquaza's home in the sky, and to leave behind a record of their history and Rayquaza's might in murals.

Another thousand years of peace followed, but the Draconids predicted that the meteoroids would fall once more, and that the next time, there would be a meteoroid big enough to break the entire world. They devised a plan to prevent this calamity: they would find a way to call forth Rayquaza before the meteoroid struck and ask Rayquaza to destroy it.

This is the end of Zinnia's tale, and the player next finds her on the top of the tower before the Dragonhark altar, gazing up at the night sky. She tells a brief personal story hinting at a loss in her past, before knocking the player out. When the player awakes, Zinnia is ready to summon Rayquaza.

Zinnia offers herself before the altar and Rayquaza descends in response to her call. But when she asks Rayquaza to Mega Evolve, it cannot. Arriving at the conclusion that the Meteorites in Rayquaza's own body have lost too much power over the years, Zinnia despairs, until suddenly the player's [[Meteorite]] begins to glow like a [[Mega Stone]]. Rayquaza springs forth and swallows the Meteorite, giving it the power to Mega Evolve again. Zinnia then tells the player that Rayquaza wants to challenge them, and that the player must win over Rayquaza (capture it).

After the player captures Rayquaza, Zinnia will teach it {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and challenges the player to a battle so that the player can learn to use Rayquaza's power, her final duty as the last Lorekeeper of the Draconids.

After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.

[[File:Deoxys core Birth Island Movement ORAS.png|thumb|After the meteoroid is destroyed]]
Once the battle with Deoxys is over (regardless of its outcome), the player returns to the top of the Sky Pillar where Aster delivers a goodbye letter from Zinnia to the player. Various cut scenes are shown as the Delta Episode comes to a close: the Space Center scientists realizing the meteoroid has been destroyed; [[Wally]] leaving his home again, his Key Stone having been returned by the player and [[Norman]] having given him tickets to the [[Battle Resort]]; [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} reconciling with [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} and moving forward; Steven reflecting with Wallace on how much he still has to learn and grow; Zinnia coming to grips with being freed of her long burden; and the player and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}}'s parents discussing their children together. The next scene shows the player and May/Brendan meeting at the Space Center to watch the Litleonid meteor shower, before returning home to [[Littleroot Town]] and the welcome of their families.

==Similarities with Pokémon Emerald==
As Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are based the original {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}} titles, elements from their sister version, {{g|Emerald}} may be included within the Delta Episode.
* Both stories have a focus on {{p|Rayquaza}} disrupting the clash between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Notably, the climax of both revolve around the {{player}} attempting to summon Rayquaza on top of the [[Sky Pillar]].
** The music that plays in Sky Pillar in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is an arrangement of the cinematic in Pokémon Emerald's own climax where Rayquaza separates the two [[super-ancient Pokémon]].
* [[Wallace]]'s [[party]] when fought at Sky Pillar is the same list of Pokémon as when he is fought as champion in Pokémon Emerald.
* The take over of [[Mossdeep Space Center]] may parallel a similar, but smaller conflict in Pokémon Emerald. {{Steven}} notably takes an important role in both conflicts. This conflict is not present in the original Ruby and Sapphire titles, or their remakes' main story.
* Steven frequently calls the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]]'s Entry Call feature. This is using the Japanese name for [[Match Call]], an Emerald-exclusive feature used to call other Trainers.
* [[Delta Emerald]] was trademarked in 2014, around the time of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's release.

Among other similarities, the feud between Rayquaza and {{p|Deoxys}} was first seen in ''[[M07|Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]''. Deoxys' appearance as the "final [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Boss|boss]]" of the Delta Episode makes reference to a [[distribution]] event for both {{g|Emerald}} and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. This event, taking place on [[Birth Island]], contains a puzzle where the player moves a red triangle until it shatters, resulting in an encounter with Deoxys.

==Trivia==
* This story marks the first instance of a [[Mythical Pokémon]] being obtainable in-game in the [[core series]].

[[File:ORAS Mega Rayquaza Deoxys artwork.png|thumb|Encounter between [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Deoxys}} following the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]]’s destruction]]
The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that is on course for collision with the planet, with a focus on the history of [[Mega Evolution]]. This episode features a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]], who seeks out the help of {{p|Rayquaza}} as part of the [[Draconid people]].

As part of the post game plot that continues from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, many elements of Delta Episode may be inspired by {{g|Emerald}}, a sister title to {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}.

==Plot==
After the {{player}} defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with [[Mom (Hoenn)|the player's mother]] and [[Norman]] discussing the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]] and their plans to watch it at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. However, Norman reveals that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with their tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cut scene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the Mossdeep Space Center with a warning siren sounding. A [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably the [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, which seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep it from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop the [[Sky Pillar]] changing out of her uniform and into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]]. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to undergo [[Primal Reversion]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as they normally would after defeating the [[Hoenn League]]. The [[Mom (Hoenn)|player's mother]] and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a [[Pair of Tickets]] and suggests they take their [[friend]], {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinnia has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called [[PokéNav#Match Call|Entry Call]] that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. To aid this plan, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]], which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
[[File:Zinnia Granite Cave ORAS.png|thumb|left|240px|Zinnia at Granite Cave]]
In [[Granite Cave]], the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her {{p|Whismur}}) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===
On the second floor of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], the player will find Steven and Professor Cozmo. After receiving the Meteorite Shard, the Professor will explain the plan to divert the meteoroid. This involves sending up a rocket and combining the Infinity Energy that powers it with human life energy like that found in Key Stones to recreate the massive energy used for Mega Evolution. This energy will be fired from the rocket to create a warp hole in the meteoroid's path, which will transport it [[Pokémon multiverse|somewhere far away]].

In the middle of Professor Cozmo's explanation, Zinnia appears to warn the group that using Infinity Energy means their plan will only repeat past mistakes. She hints as well at a new and greater atrocity that their plan will cause. She expresses disappointment that, with all of human knowledge and technology, they can't come up with a better plan.

After Zinnia leaves, Professor Cozmo continues, explaining that creating the warp hole will actually require a second, purer Meteorite Shard, which can only be found at [[Meteor Falls]]. Hearing this, Steven heads for Meteor Falls, telling the player to follow as soon as they are able.

===Meteor Falls===
At [[Meteor Falls]], the player will find Steven and a woman he introduces as a descendant of the ancient [[Draconid people]] at the back of the room above the waterfall. The Draconid people are tasked with passing down the knowledge and story of Mega Evolution, which started with {{p|Rayquaza}}. The woman explains that, in the past, when a great disaster shook [[Hoenn]], the Lorekeeper would offer up a wish to Rayquaza in front of a stone shining with rainbow light. In response to this wish, Rayquaza's body would become suffused with light and it would transform, gaining even greater power. She notes that later people would call this phenomenon "Mega Evolution".

The woman goes on to explain that the Lorekeeper is the person who has inherited the knowledge and power to summon Rayquaza if the world is again threatened. She then reveals that Zinnia is the current Lorekeeper, and that it was Zinnia who taught Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} how to revive Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, planning to use that threat to summon Rayquaza so that she could then ask it to stop the meteoroid.

Steven is shocked that Zinnia would be involved in reviving the super-ancient Pokémon despite knowing the havoc they would wreak and the inevitable sacrifice it would cost. The woman contends that balance is the rule of the world and that even Steven's own solution must involve some sacrifice. She informs him that Zinnia will stick by her convictions to the end, even if it should mean sacrificing her own life.

Troubled by what he has learned, Steven decides to head back to Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua|Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] next, where he also believes Steven is.

===Mossdeep City===
As the player approaches the Space Center, they will first catch sight of Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} and a group of Grunts as they make their move on the Space Center. Upon entering the Space Center, the player will find most of the visitors and employees clustered nervously in a corner opposite to the group of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts who are blocking the stairs to the second floor. After defeating the Grunts in a [[Horde Encounter|Horde]] battle, the player will find Courtney/Matt confronting Steven and Professor Cozmo upstairs.

Distraught that their leader's plans were foiled, Courtney/Matt decide they want to detonate the rocket, which contains even more power than the [[ultimate weapon]] in the war 3,000 years ago, destroying the world and thereby fulfilling [[Project AZOTH]]'s goals. Steven implores the player to help him stop them.

After Courtney/Matt is defeated, Aster shows up and snatches the dimensional shifter before the player has a chance to reclaim it. Zinnia then appears as well and claims that, while the dimensional shifter may indeed be their planet's best hope for being saved, it could also be an equally terrible tragedy for another planet. She tells of lore her people have passed down through the generations: that the mechanism of Mega Evolution also brings about distortions in the world, and that {{pkmn|multiverse|another world}} exists much like their own, yet also different. She suggests that in that other world, Mega Evolution is unknown, the war 3,000 years ago never happened, and the ultimate weapon was never built; and therefore, it would not have the technology to save itself if the asteroid appeared over it.

Unable to tolerate the chance that a helpless world might be put in danger just to save their own, Zinnia crushes the dimensional shifter. Steven and Professor Cozmo are dismayed at being robbed of their only hope, but Zinnia claims that she will be able to protect both worlds.

Zinnia then rushes Courtney/Matt and steals their Key Stone. Before she leaves, Zinnia mentions that she will be going after their leader's Key Stone at their base next.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===
Upon entering the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player will first notice a group of Grunts clustered around the entrance who have encountered Zinnia on her way into the base. As the player progresses through the base, other Grunts will battle the player, once again on alert after Zinnia's intrusion.

When the player arrives at [[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} room, they will be just in time to witness Zinnia claiming victory after a battle with the leader. Before the player can stop her, Zinnia snatches Maxie/Archie's Key Stone from him. She then says she has everything she needs to summon Rayquaza. Before she leaves, Zinnia invites the player to follow her to the [[Sky Pillar]].

When Zinnia is gone, Maxie/Archie will direct [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} to give the player his Mega Stone ([[Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}}), which is useless to him without his Key Stone, and he entrusts the player with the task of standing against Zinnia.

Steven will then call the player on the Entry Call app. When the player fills him in on what has happened, he says he is beginning to understand and asks the player to meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center again.

===Mossdeep City===
At the Space Center, Steven reveals that only a Lorekeeper, those tasked with passing on the knowledge of the ancient world, can enter the Sky Pillar. He then reveals that [[Wallace]] is also a Lorekeeper and will know how to undo the Sky Pillar's seal. Steven decides to remain with the professor and his team to come up with a new plan to stop the meteoroid, leaving the task of stopping Zinnia to the player. He advises the player to look for Wallace in the [[Cave of Origin]] at [[Sootopolis City]].

===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, having heard from Steven, Wallace explains that, as a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, he can open the way to the Sky Pillar for the player. He also explains that the Sky Pillar is an altar built to Rayquaza, and that only the Draconids know how to summon Rayquaza.

Wallace tells the player that he will head to the Sky Pillar and to follow after as soon as they are ready. He informs the player that the Sky Pillar is located on one of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}'s small islands.

===Route 131===
When the player arrives at the island where the Sky Pillar is located, Wallace has already undone the seal and is waiting for the player. Before he will allow the player to enter, however, he asks the player to prove that they have the power to confront what lies ahead and challenges them to a battle.

After the player defeats him, Wallace tells the player that they may proceed, but he is unable to accompany the player inside himself. Instead, Wallace says he will return to Sootopolis and try to make his own contingency plans.

===Sky Pillar===
[[File:ORAS Sky Pillar mural.png|thumb|left|150px|The mural at Sky Pillar]]
[[File:Zinnia Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|240px|Zinnia at Sky Pillar]]
[[File:Encountering Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|Encountering Rayquaza]]
Just inside the entrance to the tower of the Sky Pillar, the player will find Zinnia waiting for them. As the player ascends the tower, she will tell the story of the Draconids' history, which is also enshrined in a mural covering the entire back wall of the tower.

Two=Thousands of years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy which [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} constantly fought over, causing endless disaster for the people caught helpless in the face of their great power. Then, a storm of meteoroids fell upon [[Meteor Falls|a waterfall]] that a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users had long called home. The meteors shone with a rainbow light, and, apparently in response to their light, Rayquaza descended from the heavens and quelled the pair of Primal Pokémon with its overwhelming power, bringing peace back to the world. The people of Hoenn took to revering Rayquaza as their savior.

A thousand years later, the meteoroids fell once again, and this time a huge meteoroid struck the planet and bore out the crater that would eventually become [[Sootopolis City]]. The impact cracked the lands, causing a great upswell of natural energy which once again woke Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, threatening further disasters. The people then prayed that Rayquaza would appear again to save them as it had before, and the huge meteorite that had bored out Sootopolis shone as if it were a huge [[Key Stone]], and Rayquaza descended. In response to the people's wish for salvation and the light of the stone, Rayquaza underwent a change: [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Rayquaza's {{a|Delta Stream}} subdued the power of the Primal Pokémon, and they returned to their dwelling places. [[AZ|A tall visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]] referred to Mega Rayquaza as the Δ (Delta) and said it was born of the world's disturbances and would calm them.

After this event, the Draconids built the Sky Pillar to hold the huge Key Stone that had granted Rayquaza its power, to bring themselves closer to Rayquaza's home in the sky, and to leave behind a record of their history and Rayquaza's might in murals.

Another thousand years of peace followed, but the Draconids predicted that the meteoroids would fall once more, and that the next time, there would be a meteoroid big enough to break the entire world. They devised a plan to prevent this calamity: they would find a way to call forth Rayquaza before the meteoroid struck and ask Rayquaza to destroy it.

This is the end of Zinnia's tale, and the player next finds her on the top of the tower before the Dragonhark altar, gazing up at the night sky. She tells a brief personal story hinting at a loss in her past, before knocking the player out. When the player awakes, Zinnia is ready to summon Rayquaza.

Zinnia offers herself before the altar and Rayquaza descends in response to her call. But when she asks Rayquaza to Mega Evolve, it cannot. Arriving at the conclusion that the Meteorites in Rayquaza's own body have lost too much power over the years, Zinnia despairs, until suddenly the player's [[Meteorite]] begins to glow like a [[Mega Stone]]. Rayquaza springs forth and swallows the Meteorite, giving it the power to Mega Evolve again. Zinnia then tells the player that Rayquaza wants to challenge them, and that the player must win over Rayquaza (capture it).

After the player captures Rayquaza, Zinnia will teach it {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and challenges the player to a battle so that the player can learn to use Rayquaza's power, her final duty as the last Lorekeeper of the Draconids.

After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.
[[File:Destroying the meteoroid Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|left|Destroying the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]]]]
[[File:Deoxys core Birth Island Movement ORAS.png|thumb|After the meteoroid is destroyed]]
Once the battle with Deoxys is over (regardless of its outcome), the player returns to the top of the Sky Pillar where Aster delivers a goodbye letter from Zinnia to the player. Various cut scenes are shown as the Delta Episode comes to a close: the Space Center scientists realizing the meteoroid has been destroyed; [[Wally]] leaving his home again, his Key Stone having been returned by the player and [[Norman]] having given him tickets to the [[Battle Resort]]; [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} reconciling with [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} and moving forward; Steven reflecting with Wallace on how much he still has to learn and grow; Zinnia coming to grips with being freed of her long burden; and the player and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}}'s parents discussing their children together. The next scene shows the player and May/Brendan meeting at the Space Center to watch the Litleonid meteor shower, before returning home to [[Littleroot Town]] and the welcome of their families.

==Similarities with Pokémon Emerald==
As Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are based the original {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}} titles, elements from their sister version, {{g|Emerald}} may be included within the Delta Episode.
* Both stories have a focus on {{p|Rayquaza}} disrupting the clash between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Notably, the climax of both revolve around the {{player}} attempting to summon Rayquaza on top of the [[Sky Pillar]].
** The music that plays in Sky Pillar in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is an arrangement of the cinematic in Pokémon Emerald's own climax where Rayquaza separates the two [[super-ancient Pokémon]].
* [[Wallace]]'s [[party]] when fought at Sky Pillar is the same list of Pokémon as when he is fought as champion in Pokémon Emerald.
* The take over of [[Mossdeep Space Center]] may parallel a similar, but smaller conflict in Pokémon Emerald. {{Steven}} notably takes an important role in both conflicts. This conflict is not present in the original Ruby and Sapphire titles, or their remakes' main story.
* Steven frequently calls the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]]'s Entry Call feature. This is using the Japanese name for [[Match Call]], an Emerald-exclusive feature used to call other Trainers.
* [[Delta Emerald]] was trademarked in 2014, around the time of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's release.

Among other similarities, the feud between Rayquaza and {{p|Deoxys}} was first seen in ''[[M07|Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]''. Deoxys' appearance as the "final [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Boss|boss]]" of the Delta Episode makes reference to a [[distribution]] event for both {{g|Emerald}} and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. This event, taking place on [[Birth Island]], contains a puzzle where the player moves a red triangle until it shatters, resulting in an encounter with Deoxys.

==Trivia==
* This story marks the first instance of a [[Mythical Pokémon]] being obtainable in-game in the [[core series]].

The '''Sealed Chamber''' (Japanese: '''おふれの{{tt|石室|せきしつ}}''' ''Stone Chamber of the Proclamation'') is a location in [[Hoenn]]. It can be reached by diving on {{rt|134|Hoenn}}. It is not a common place to visit, as it is well hidden under the water and through the currents on Route 134. Legends are told about the Sealed Chamber, but only few people from [[Pacifidlog Town]] know its true existence. It must be visited to unlock the caves that hold the [[legendary giants]].

==In the games==
===Geography===
====Underwater====
Underwater there is a message against a rock formation telling the {{player}} to go up.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is no visible indication of where to go up; the player can go up anywhere, although going up anywhere but in front of the Braille will take them back to Route 134. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is a clear area with light filtering down to surface from, and it is not possible to surface from anywhere else.

This underwater path is considered part of {{rt|134|Hoenn}}.

====First chamber====
The first room contains ten mounds of earth, marked with braille that lists the alphabet. The braille on the door says to use {{m|Dig}}. This opens an entrance to the second room, if performed while standing near the door.

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after using Dig to create the door it is still possible to read the Braille to the sides of the door. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is no longer possible to read this Braille after the door is created.

====Second chamber====
Reading the inscription on the back wall in the second room with {{p|Relicanth}} at the top of the [[party]] and {{p|Wailord}} at the bottom of the [[Required Party Pokémon|party]] causes an earthquake to occur that opens the doors of the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]].

In {{game|Emerald}}, the party positions of Relicanth and Wailord are reversed.

===Braille interpretations===
{{fan speculation|section}}
Some people believe that the "We feared it." section refers to {{p|Regigigas}}, as opposed to {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. This interpretation stems from the English translation's use of the word ''it''. No actual subject, either plural or singular, was indicated in Japanese.

The significance of why Wailord and Relicanth are needed might have something to do with a general theme of the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games: the relationship between land and the sea. Relicanth is based on the {{wp|coelacanth}}, a creature that is considered to be closely related to the ancestors of all land-living vertebrates. Wailord is based on the {{wp|whale}}, a creature whose ancestors once lived on land but have since evolved to live in the ocean.

[[File:Stone tablet Adventures.png|thumb|200px|The stone tablet in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the inscription in the chamber is instead on a damaged stone tablet, which first appeared in ''[[PS245|Bravo, Vibrava]]'', under the possession of the [[blind boy]], whom it had been entrusted to by {{Steven}}. In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', [[Phoebe]] retrieved the tablet after the blind boy had been unable to figure out the damaged part and brought it back to Steven.

In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', the [[letter]] that {{adv|Sapphire}} delivered to Steven from [[Mr. Stone]] was revealed to contain a reconstruction of the damaged paragraph. With the help of Sapphire, Steven and the [[Elite Four]] unsealed the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]], after which the stone tablet broke to pieces, having served its purpose.

The Elite Four believed that the "it" in the phrase "We feared it" referred to the risk of trying to control a Pokémon that is too powerful.

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS303|Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo]]'', [[Scott]] was revealed to have collected the shattered remains of the stone tablet and reassembled it, allowing [[Brandon]] to use it to locate and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} for use at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the rumble that is heard immediately before the [[legendary giants]] are unsealed is identical to the sound of [[Inside of Truck|the moving truck]] heard at the start of the {{player}}'s adventure.

Grand Meteor Delta

'''Grand Meteor Delta''' (Japanese: '''グランメテオ{{tt|Δ|デルタ}}''' ''Grand Meteor Delta'') is a gigantic meteoroid that appears in the [[Delta Episode]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Its name appears only in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga; in other media, the meteoroid is unnamed.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Destroying the meteoroid Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|left|The meteoroid being destroyed in the games]]
In the games, Grand Meteor Delta is an unnamed meteoroid [[Mr. Stone/Quotes#Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|"more than six miles in diameter"]] ([[:ja:ツワブキ/引用#台詞#:~:text=脅威——-,直径10キロメートルを,-超える|10 kilometers]]) that is on a collision course with the [[Pokémon world]]. The plot of the [[Delta Episode]] focuses on finding a way to destroy the meteoroid and prevent the world from being destroyed.

The {{player}} is enlisted by {{Steven}}, [[Mr. Stone]], and the staff at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] to assist with launching a rocket containing [[Infinity Energy]] in order to power a device known as the dimensional shifter. The shifter was outfitted with a Link Cable that would cause the meteoroid to be warped to another location. Where the meteoroid would end up was unknown, but the people working with the plan did not care as long as it was sent away.

The plan was stopped by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid woman]], who was against their plan due to the rocket being fueled by Infinity Energy and the possibility that the meteoroid would be warped to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|another Hoenn}} that would be unable to defend against it. Zinnia had her {{p|Whismur}}, Aster, steal the dimensional shifter and crush it, thus putting an end to the plan.

At the [[Sky Pillar]], Zinnia reveals to the player that her people, the Draconids, have foreseen the arrival of the meteoroid. Zinnia uses the power of stolen [[Key Stone]]s to summon {{p|Rayquaza}} in order to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] it and destroy the meteoroid. Although successful, Zinnia is unable to Mega Evolve Rayquaza, as its mikado organ did not have enough energy to allow it to become Mega Rayquaza. By feeding Rayquaza the [[Meteorite]] they possessed, the player gives Rayquaza enough power to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. After battling and capturing the Rayquaza, the player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid.

After the meteoroid is destroyed, a triangular, stone tablet emerges from the middle of the debris, which soon breaks apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle. After the battle with Deoxys, the threat to the planet is finally over, thus ending the Delta Episode.

===Special encounters===
A Deoxys emerges from the meteoroid upon its destruction and challenges the player.

In ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', Grand Meteor Delta was heading towards the [[Pokémon world]]. Like in the games, it got destroyed by {{me|Rayquaza}} with {{player|a Trainer}} riding on top of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. From the debris of the destroyed meteor, a triangular object appeared, which turned into a {{p|Deoxys}} and was subsequently {{pkmn2|caught}} by the Trainer.
===Pokémon Evolutions===
In ''[[PE06|The Wish]]'', Grand Meteor Delta was briefly seen hurtling towards [[Hoenn]] as [[Zinnia]] explained to {{ga|May}} about her plans to summon {{p|Rayquaza}} to destroy it.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the unnamed meteoroid is given the name Grand Meteor Delta. It is the primary focus of this arc, where three different factions fought each other for the right to destroy the meteoroid.

The first faction were the [[Draconid people]], who used the power of legends. The Draconid people foretold of Grand Meteor Delta's appearance thousands of years prior to the start of the chapter. Their chosen Lorekeeper, [[Aster]], was destined to ride {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and destroy Grand Meteor Delta, at the cost of her own life. However, Aster died in battle against the [[Devon Corporation]] in order to prevent them from capturing Rayquaza and using its power to protect [[Hoenn]] should {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} be awakened. These events led Zinnia, another Draconid that became Aster's successor, to harbor a grudge against Devon.

The second faction was the [[Devon Corporation]], who used the power of science. Grand Meteor Delta was discovered by [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. The Space Center then began working with the Devon Corporation to produce a rocket and dimensional shifter that would be powered by [[Infinity Energy]]. These items, when combined, would warp the meteoroid away to another location. When Zinnia learned of this, she sent Devon a letter warning them to stop their plans under the threat of her people attacking. In order to prevent Zinnia's attack, Steven enlisted the help of the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} in helping with the production of the dimensional shifter. The shifter was filled with life energy from Sapphire's [[Chic]] and Emerald's {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, and after preventing Zinnia from destroying the shifter, the dimensional shifter was taken to [[Mossdeep City]], where it was outfitted to the rocket. When Zinnia staged another attack, this time on the rocket itself, Sapphire fought her in order to prevent the rocket from being destroyed. After a battle on top of the rocket, Sapphire was defeated by Zinnia, who proceeded to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket into the ocean.

The third faction was [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], who used the power of nature. Long thought to be dead, Maxie and Archie returned to Hoenn with the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s stolen from {{adv|Bill}}. These, combined with Groudon and Kyogre, allowed the two Super-ancient Pokémon to achieve their [[Primal Reversion|Primal forms]]. After gaining this new power, Maxie and Archie trained together at [[Meteor Falls]] in order to teach Groudon and Kyogre {{m|Precipice Blades}} and {{m|Origin Pulse}}, respectively. Once finished, Maxie and Archie teamed up with Ruby and Sapphire, who had befriended Rayquaza, in order to stop a large piece of Grand Meteor Delta that had broken off and fell toward {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. Although they fought hard, the three super-ancient Pokémon struggled against the meteoroid piece and only barely managed to destroy it. The event ran through the energy keeping their bodies stable, causing Maxie and Archie to break apart and disappear once more. The pieces of the meteoroid fell down on top of Groudon and Kyogre, knocking them unconscious and reverting them back to their base forms.

After her attempts to convince Rayquaza to join her were rejected, Zinnia gave up in despair and claimed that she wasn't strong enough to succeed over Aster. This attitude angered Emerald, who stated that the three factions should work together instead of stubbornly trying to destroy Grand Meteor Delta by themselves. The three sides agreed and began working on a plan to stop Grand Meteor Delta together. With the help of allies from Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]], the plan to stop Grand Meteor Delta was finalized.

After putting on the [[Magma Suit|Magma]] and [[Aqua Suit]]s, Ruby and Sapphire went into space with Rayquaza. Upon coming face to face with Grand Meteor Delta, Ruby and Sapphire [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Rayquaza and commanded it to use {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. The attack, along with the combined forces of allies from Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto, successfully destroyed Grand Meteor Delta by shattering it into pieces. However, a {{m|Reflect|Delta}} {{m|Light Screen|Shield}} emerged from the meteoroid's wreckage, opening to reveal a [[Deoxys (Adventures)#Organism No. 1|Deoxys]] that proceeded to attack the three. After a tough battle, Ruby and Sapphire had Rayquaza strike Deoxys's core, shattering it and knocking Deoxys unconscious, causing it to begin floating to the depths of space. Afterward, Rayquaza grabbed Ruby and Sapphire and took them back down to Earth to reunite with their friends.

Talk:Grand Meteor Delta

Fawfaw: /* Name source? */ Reply

== Name source? ==

I don't recall the meteor has a name, so I looked through Steven, Mr. Stone, Zinnia, and Prof. Cozmo's quotes but couldn't find "Grand Meteor Delta" either. Can someone please add source? --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 10:20, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

:As the article says, it's unnamed in the games. The name is derived from Pokémon Adventures (also mentioned in the article). [[User:Driftin Soul|Driftin Soul]] ([[User talk:Driftin Soul|talk]]) 10:30, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
::Hmm. Using a manga-derived name for an article about a multi-media appearance seems kinda odd. It's likely shaped by Kusaka-sensei. --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 11:18, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

::::I would propose something like "Meteoroid (Delta Episode)". In my opinion, "Grand Meteor Delta" should be listed under the Manga section. --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 11:51, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

The '''Delta Episode''' (Japanese: '''エピソード　デルタ''' ''Episode Delta'') is a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The episode revolves around a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that is on course for collision with the planet, with a focus on the history of [[Mega Evolution]]. This episode features a newly developed character, [[Zinnia]], who seeks out the help of {{p|Rayquaza}} as part of the [[Draconid people]].

As part of the post game plot that continues from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, many elements of Delta Episode may be inspired by {{g|Emerald}}, a sister title to {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}.

==Plot==
After the {{player}} defeats {{Steven}} and first enters the [[Hall of Fame]], the Delta Episode is unlocked. The end of the credits sequence teases the Delta Episode, with [[Mom (Hoenn)|the player's mother]] and [[Norman]] discussing the [[Litleonids|Litleonid meteor shower]] and their plans to watch it at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. However, Norman reveals that he must be at the Gym that day. As they wonder what to do with their tickets, a mysterious symbol takes over the screen and then fades into "To Be Continued."

When the player loads the game again, a cut scene introducing the Delta Episode starts at the Mossdeep Space Center with a warning siren sounding. A [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] is expected to make impact on "a small island southwest of {{ci|Sootopolis}}, off of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}", presumably the [[Sky Pillar]]. Uncertain about the nature or origin of the meteoroid, which seems to be able to change its trajectory, [[Professor Cozmo]] must devise a plan to keep it from landing. Meanwhile, a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}} accompanied by a {{p|Whismur}} is shown standing atop the [[Sky Pillar]] changing out of her uniform and into a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] cape, revealing herself as the person the player will come to know as [[Zinnia]]. She mentions that there isn't much time left, displaying knowledge of the meteoroid's existence, and thinks that the player may have complicated matters by not allowing the [[super-ancient Pokémon]] ({{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}) to undergo [[Primal Reversion]]. Regardless, she plans to make use of a [[Key Stone]] in order to revive {{p|Rayquaza}}, so it can destroy the meteoroid.

===Littleroot Town===
The player starts in their bedroom in [[Littleroot Town]], as they normally would after defeating the [[Hoenn League]]. The [[Mom (Hoenn)|player's mother]] and [[Norman]] are downstairs, and when the player comes down, Norman gives the player a [[Pair of Tickets]] and suggests they take their [[friend]], {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, with them. When the player leaves the house, Zinnia is standing outside waiting for the player. She introduces herself and tells the player that she knows about them and their ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After Zinnia leaves, at Brendan/May's house, the player finds out that Zinnia has stolen Brendan/May's Key Stone from them. They tell the player that Zinnia is headed to [[Petalburg City]] and that they should go with caution, as Zinnia is a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Petalburg City===
In [[Petalburg City]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} can be found harassing [[Wally]] in front of his house. They are looking for a Key Stone as well. When the player approaches, Wally insists that he doesn't have the Key Stone. Wally then notices the player behind Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, prompting the Admin to notice the player and start a battle in a bid to steal the player's Key Stone as well. When the player defeats them, they leave for [[Meteor Falls]]. Wally informs the player that his Key Stone went missing prior to the arrival of the Admin. At this point, Steven contacts the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]] using a hidden feature called [[PokéNav#Match Call|Entry Call]] that is still in development. He tells the player to meet him at the [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]].

===Rustboro City===
Steven meets the player outside of the Devon Corporation. He takes them upstairs to meet [[Mr. Stone|his father]], who has a lengthy story to tell. He tells of a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]] to end a war 3,000 years ago in [[Kalos|a distant region]], a weapon powered by the life energy of Pokémon. Devon developed that energy source into [[Infinity Energy]]. He then tells the player about the asteroid that is on a collision course with the planet, and how they plan to avert the danger using a Devon rocket. To aid this plan, he asks that the player venture to [[Granite Cave]] and retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]], which is a key piece of their plan. He tells Steven to take the Link Cable he gave him and go to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and start preparations.

===Granite Cave===
[[File:Zinnia Granite Cave ORAS.png|thumb|left|240px|Zinnia at Granite Cave]]
In [[Granite Cave]], the player will find Zinnia and Aster (her {{p|Whismur}}) in the room with the wall painting. She reveals that this painting, showing Primal Reversion, was made by her ancestors, and alludes to another painting showing Mega Evolution. Turning away from the painting, Zinnia eagerly presses the player for a battle. After the battle, Zinnia gives the player a Meteorite Shard, but before leaving, she pauses to question the player about their motives and what they really know of the truth. Once she has left, a call from Steven comes through on the PokéNav Plus, and he asks the player to hurry back to the Space Center.

===Mossdeep City===
On the second floor of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], the player will find Steven and Professor Cozmo. After receiving the Meteorite Shard, the Professor will explain the plan to divert the meteoroid. This involves sending up a rocket and combining the Infinity Energy that powers it with human life energy like that found in Key Stones to recreate the massive energy used for Mega Evolution. This energy will be fired from the rocket to create a warp hole in the meteoroid's path, which will transport it [[Pokémon multiverse|somewhere far away]].

In the middle of Professor Cozmo's explanation, Zinnia appears to warn the group that using Infinity Energy means their plan will only repeat past mistakes. She hints as well at a new and greater atrocity that their plan will cause. She expresses disappointment that, with all of human knowledge and technology, they can't come up with a better plan.

After Zinnia leaves, Professor Cozmo continues, explaining that creating the warp hole will actually require a second, purer Meteorite Shard, which can only be found at [[Meteor Falls]]. Hearing this, Steven heads for Meteor Falls, telling the player to follow as soon as they are able.

===Meteor Falls===
At [[Meteor Falls]], the player will find Steven and a woman he introduces as a descendant of the ancient [[Draconid people]] at the back of the room above the waterfall. The Draconid people are tasked with passing down the knowledge and story of Mega Evolution, which started with {{p|Rayquaza}}. The woman explains that, in the past, when a great disaster shook [[Hoenn]], the Lorekeeper would offer up a wish to Rayquaza in front of a stone shining with rainbow light. In response to this wish, Rayquaza's body would become suffused with light and it would transform, gaining even greater power. She notes that later people would call this phenomenon "Mega Evolution".

The woman goes on to explain that the Lorekeeper is the person who has inherited the knowledge and power to summon Rayquaza if the world is again threatened. She then reveals that Zinnia is the current Lorekeeper, and that it was Zinnia who taught Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} how to revive Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, planning to use that threat to summon Rayquaza so that she could then ask it to stop the meteoroid.

Steven is shocked that Zinnia would be involved in reviving the super-ancient Pokémon despite knowing the havoc they would wreak and the inevitable sacrifice it would cost. The woman contends that balance is the rule of the world and that even Steven's own solution must involve some sacrifice. She informs him that Zinnia will stick by her convictions to the end, even if it should mean sacrificing her own life.

Troubled by what he has learned, Steven decides to head back to Devon.

===Rustboro City===
When the player attempts to enter the Devon building, a {{tc|Scientist}} will run out, closely followed by a succession of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts. After the player has warded them off, the Scientist explains that a person from [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua|Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} (Courtney/Matt) stole the control device for the Link Cable, a dimensional shifter. He believes they will head for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] next, where he also believes Steven is.

===Mossdeep City===
As the player approaches the Space Center, they will first catch sight of Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}} and a group of Grunts as they make their move on the Space Center. Upon entering the Space Center, the player will find most of the visitors and employees clustered nervously in a corner opposite to the group of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunts who are blocking the stairs to the second floor. After defeating the Grunts in a [[Horde Encounter|Horde]] battle, the player will find Courtney/Matt confronting Steven and Professor Cozmo upstairs.

Distraught that their leader's plans were foiled, Courtney/Matt decide they want to detonate the rocket, which contains even more power than the [[ultimate weapon]] in the war 3,000 years ago, destroying the world and thereby fulfilling [[Project AZOTH]]'s goals. Steven implores the player to help him stop them.

After Courtney/Matt is defeated, Aster shows up and snatches the dimensional shifter before the player has a chance to reclaim it. Zinnia then appears as well and claims that, while the dimensional shifter may indeed be their planet's best hope for being saved, it could also be an equally terrible tragedy for another planet. She tells of lore her people have passed down through the generations: that the mechanism of Mega Evolution also brings about distortions in the world, and that {{pkmn|multiverse|another world}} exists much like their own, yet also different. She suggests that in that other world, Mega Evolution is unknown, the war 3,000 years ago never happened, and the ultimate weapon was never built; and therefore, it would not have the technology to save itself if the asteroid appeared over it.

Unable to tolerate the chance that a helpless world might be put in danger just to save their own, Zinnia crushes the dimensional shifter. Steven and Professor Cozmo are dismayed at being robbed of their only hope, but Zinnia claims that she will be able to protect both worlds.

Zinnia then rushes Courtney/Matt and steals their Key Stone. Before she leaves, Zinnia mentions that she will be going after their leader's Key Stone at their base next.

===Team Magma/Aqua Hideout===
Upon entering the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player will first notice a group of Grunts clustered around the entrance who have encountered Zinnia on her way into the base. As the player progresses through the base, other Grunts will battle the player, once again on alert after Zinnia's intrusion.

When the player arrives at [[Maxie]]'s{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]'s{{sup/6|AS}} room, they will be just in time to witness Zinnia claiming victory after a battle with the leader. Before the player can stop her, Zinnia snatches Maxie/Archie's Key Stone from him. She then says she has everything she needs to summon Rayquaza. Before she leaves, Zinnia invites the player to follow her to the [[Sky Pillar]].

When Zinnia is gone, Maxie/Archie will direct [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} to give the player his Mega Stone ([[Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}}), which is useless to him without his Key Stone, and he entrusts the player with the task of standing against Zinnia.

Steven will then call the player on the Entry Call app. When the player fills him in on what has happened, he says he is beginning to understand and asks the player to meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center again.

===Mossdeep City===
At the Space Center, Steven reveals that only a Lorekeeper, those tasked with passing on the knowledge of the ancient world, can enter the Sky Pillar. He then reveals that [[Wallace]] is also a Lorekeeper and will know how to undo the Sky Pillar's seal. Steven decides to remain with the professor and his team to come up with a new plan to stop the meteoroid, leaving the task of stopping Zinnia to the player. He advises the player to look for Wallace in the [[Cave of Origin]] at [[Sootopolis City]].

===Sootopolis City===
Outside the Cave of Origin, having heard from Steven, Wallace explains that, as a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, he can open the way to the Sky Pillar for the player. He also explains that the Sky Pillar is an altar built to Rayquaza, and that only the Draconids know how to summon Rayquaza.

Wallace tells the player that he will head to the Sky Pillar and to follow after as soon as they are ready. He informs the player that the Sky Pillar is located on one of {{rt|131|Hoenn}}'s small islands.

===Route 131===
When the player arrives at the island where the Sky Pillar is located, Wallace has already undone the seal and is waiting for the player. Before he will allow the player to enter, however, he asks the player to prove that they have the power to confront what lies ahead and challenges them to a battle.

After the player defeats him, Wallace tells the player that they may proceed, but he is unable to accompany the player inside himself. Instead, Wallace says he will return to Sootopolis and try to make his own contingency plans.

===Sky Pillar===
[[File:ORAS Sky Pillar mural.png|thumb|left|150px|The mural at Sky Pillar]]
[[File:Zinnia Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|240px|Zinnia at Sky Pillar]]
[[File:Encountering Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|Encountering Rayquaza]]
Just inside the entrance to the tower of the Sky Pillar, the player will find Zinnia waiting for them. As the player ascends the tower, she will tell the story of the Draconids' history, which is also enshrined in a mural covering the entire back wall of the tower.

Two=Thousands of years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy which [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} constantly fought over, causing endless disaster for the people caught helpless in the face of their great power. Then, a storm of meteoroids fell upon [[Meteor Falls|a waterfall]] that a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users had long called home. The meteors shone with a rainbow light, and, apparently in response to their light, Rayquaza descended from the heavens and quelled the pair of Primal Pokémon with its overwhelming power, bringing peace back to the world. The people of Hoenn took to revering Rayquaza as their savior.

A thousand years later, the meteoroids fell once again, and this time a huge meteoroid struck the planet and bore out the crater that would eventually become [[Sootopolis City]]. The impact cracked the lands, causing a great upswell of natural energy which once again woke Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, threatening further disasters. The people then prayed that Rayquaza would appear again to save them as it had before, and the huge meteorite that had bored out Sootopolis shone as if it were a huge [[Key Stone]], and Rayquaza descended. In response to the people's wish for salvation and the light of the stone, Rayquaza underwent a change: [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Rayquaza's {{a|Delta Stream}} subdued the power of the Primal Pokémon, and they returned to their dwelling places. [[AZ|A tall visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]] referred to Mega Rayquaza as the Δ (Delta) and said it was born of the world's disturbances and would calm them.

After this event, the Draconids built the Sky Pillar to hold the huge Key Stone that had granted Rayquaza its power, to bring themselves closer to Rayquaza's home in the sky, and to leave behind a record of their history and Rayquaza's might in murals.

Another thousand years of peace followed, but the Draconids predicted that the meteoroids would fall once more, and that the next time, there would be a meteoroid big enough to break the entire world. They devised a plan to prevent this calamity: they would find a way to call forth Rayquaza before the meteoroid struck and ask Rayquaza to destroy it.

This is the end of Zinnia's tale, and the player next finds her on the top of the tower before the Dragonhark altar, gazing up at the night sky. She tells a brief personal story hinting at a loss in her past, before knocking the player out. When the player awakes, Zinnia is ready to summon Rayquaza.

Zinnia offers herself before the altar and Rayquaza descends in response to her call. But when she asks Rayquaza to Mega Evolve, it cannot. Arriving at the conclusion that the Meteorites in Rayquaza's own body have lost too much power over the years, Zinnia despairs, until suddenly the player's [[Meteorite]] begins to glow like a [[Mega Stone]]. Rayquaza springs forth and swallows the Meteorite, giving it the power to Mega Evolve again. Zinnia then tells the player that Rayquaza wants to challenge them, and that the player must win over Rayquaza (capture it).

After the player captures Rayquaza, Zinnia will teach it {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and challenges the player to a battle so that the player can learn to use Rayquaza's power, her final duty as the last Lorekeeper of the Draconids.

After the battle with Zinnia (regardless of its outcome), Zinnia entrusts the player with destroying the approaching meteoroid. The player dons the [[Magma Suit]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Aqua Suit]]{{sup/6|AS}} and rides Rayquaza out to space to destroy the meteoroid. When Rayquaza shatters the meteoroid, however, a triangular object emerges from the middle of the debris. After a moment of darting around, tendrils snake out of the object before it bursts apart to reveal the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}}, who immediately engages the player in a battle.
[[File:Destroying the meteoroid Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|left|Destroying the meteoroid]]
[[File:Deoxys core Birth Island Movement ORAS.png|thumb|After the meteoroid is destroyed]]
Once the battle with Deoxys is over (regardless of its outcome), the player returns to the top of the Sky Pillar where Aster delivers a goodbye letter from Zinnia to the player. Various cut scenes are shown as the Delta Episode comes to a close: the Space Center scientists realizing the meteoroid has been destroyed; [[Wally]] leaving his home again, his Key Stone having been returned by the player and [[Norman]] having given him tickets to the [[Battle Resort]]; [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} reconciling with [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} and moving forward; Steven reflecting with Wallace on how much he still has to learn and grow; Zinnia coming to grips with being freed of her long burden; and the player and {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}}'s parents discussing their children together. The next scene shows the player and May/Brendan meeting at the Space Center to watch the Litleonid meteor shower, before returning home to [[Littleroot Town]] and the welcome of their families.

==Similarities with Pokémon Emerald==
As Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are based the original {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}} titles, elements from their sister version, {{g|Emerald}} may be included within the Delta Episode.
* Both stories have a focus on {{p|Rayquaza}} disrupting the clash between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Notably, the climax of both revolve around the {{player}} attempting to summon Rayquaza on top of the [[Sky Pillar]].
** The music that plays in Sky Pillar in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is an arrangement of the cinematic in Pokémon Emerald's own climax where Rayquaza separates the two [[super-ancient Pokémon]].
* [[Wallace]]'s [[party]] when fought at Sky Pillar is the same list of Pokémon as when he is fought as champion in Pokémon Emerald.
* The take over of [[Mossdeep Space Center]] may parallel a similar, but smaller conflict in Pokémon Emerald. {{Steven}} notably takes an important role in both conflicts. This conflict is not present in the original Ruby and Sapphire titles, or their remakes' main story.
* Steven frequently calls the player on the [[PokéNav Plus]]'s Entry Call feature. This is using the Japanese name for [[Match Call]], an Emerald-exclusive feature used to call other Trainers.
* [[Delta Emerald]] was trademarked in 2014, around the time of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's release.

Among other similarities, the feud between Rayquaza and {{p|Deoxys}} was first seen in ''[[M07|Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]''. Deoxys' appearance as the "final [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Boss|boss]]" of the Delta Episode makes reference to a [[distribution]] event for both {{g|Emerald}} and {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. This event, taking place on [[Birth Island]], contains a puzzle where the player moves a red triangle until it shatters, resulting in an encounter with Deoxys.

==Trivia==
* This story marks the first instance of a [[Mythical Pokémon]] being obtainable in-game in the [[core series]].

The '''Tower duo''' is the [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|duo]]<ref>''"Legendary Pokémon Duo Lugia and Ho-Oh"'' - [https://press.pokemon.com/en/Legendary-Pokemon-Duo-Lugia-and-Ho-Oh-to-Star-in-Upcoming-Pokemon-Trad Wisdom of Sea and Sky] on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>''"Ho-Oh and Lugia are our final pair of Legendary Pokémon [...]"'' - "[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/one-last-chance-to-be-legendary One Last Chance to Be Legendary]" on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were [[Pokémon discovery|first discovered]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]].

==Overview==
Lugia, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, represents the sea, storms, and the color silver. Ho-Oh, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, represents the sky, rainbows, and the color gold. Both are also associated with their own [[Legendary trio]]s: Lugia is associated with the [[legendary birds]], while Ho-Oh is associated with the [[Legendary beasts]].

The relationship between Ho-Oh and Lugia can be seen as a symbol of duality, reflecting contrast and coexistence, a motif explored more deeply in [[Generation V#Unova thematic motif|a later generation]]. The duo is said to represent the sun and moon, day and night, light and shadow, the sky and the depths of the sea, the above and the below.<ref>Nintendo DREAM vol.187 (November 2009 issue).</ref>

==History and myths==
The legend of the Tower duo is introduced in [[Generation II]]. The legend was also expanded in both the remakes and the {{pkmn|animation|animated}} shorts ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' and ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. About 700 years before the events of Generation II, the people of [[Ecruteak City]] built two nine-tier towers, hoping to foster both friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. The two towers were known as the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] and [[Bell Tower]]. The west tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while in the east tower, the Pokémon chose to stop and rest there. Both towers were also the homes of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia resides in Brass Tower and Ho-Oh resides in the Bell Tower. For a time, there was peace and a close bond between the people and the Tower duo.

However, about 550 years later, a tragedy happened one night under the moon. Lugia's slumber was disturbed by a lightning storm that struck the Brass Tower with a powerful lightning bolt, engulfing it in flames for three days. Lugia attempted to use the winds to stop the flame, but this action put Ecruteak City in grave danger. Because of this, Lugia instead chose to call upon rain to put out the fire.

However, it was too late to save the Brass Tower, as it burned to the ground due to the damage. During this tragic event, three nameless Pokémon were tragically killed in the fire, much to the despair of the people. Fortunately, Ho-Oh descended from the sky and used its power to revive them. The Pokémon were reborn as {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. While this filled the people with awe, it also led to them fearing Ho-Oh due to its power to manipulate life. Ho-Oh and the Legendary beasts fled due to the violence of the people who feared Ho-Oh's power.

In despair of the destruction of the Brass Tower, Lugia flew away and chose to live in the ocean's depths. Lugia eventually settled at the [[Whirl Islands]]. According to the island's legend, at some point, the two countries fought each other over the island. In great anger, Lugia unleashed several lightning bolts to split the island into four separate islands. Lugia then dove into the deep end of the waterfall basin, disappearing in the process.

The Tower duo was never seen again after the fire and violence of the humans. The Brass Tower was never repaired, left as a reminder of what can be lost and regained, becoming what is now known as the Burned Tower. Two legends reveal when Lugia and Ho-Oh will return to Ecruteak City. When a Trainer who can touch the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|souls}} of Pokémon appears, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens to the Bell Tower. Lugia is said to return only when a human with a pure {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|heart}} appears before Lugia and that the invisible trust between people and Pokémon returns.

In {{aniseries|GS}}, there is a similar legend to the two towers. In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] claimed that the two towers are the original [[Tin Tower]], which burned down, and a rebuilt one. According to that legend, invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh. This invasion failed as Ho-Oh resisted and flew away. In retaliation, the invaders burned down the Tin Tower. However, in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the story follows the game version, though retains the war aspect.

====Past====
Ho-Oh and Lugia were at one point captured by the [[Masked Man]], Ho-Oh was once used to kidnap six children: [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]], [[Will]], {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}}. He had plucked a Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing from them, but the items were stolen by Green who had escaped with Silver. Sometime after he had lost control of the two, where they escaped and flew to different locations.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Ho-Oh first appeared as a silhouette in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', which shows a flashback of Green's capture, said event caused her to fear of bird Pokémon. It appeared again as a silhouette in ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', when Green was explaining to {{adv|Bill}} that she believes the [[Elite Four]] were the ones who controlled it to capture her.

Lugia had stayed dormant at [[Cerise Island]], until the [[Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four]] summoned it with Badge Amplifier in an attempt to exterminate humans. It appeared before them in the form of a spirit in ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]''. After Lance's defeat it flew to the [[Johto|west]]. The Diving Pokémon had returned to the [[Whirl Islands]], before causing havoc around the [[S.S. Aqua]] in ''[[PS145|Sandslash Surprise]]'', where it was properly identified as Lugia.

They managed to weaken it but as it was about to be caught in {{adv|Crystal}}'s Poké Ball, the Masked Man had quickly thrown his own Poké Ball capturing it.

Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under the Masked Man's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction. They were then lent to [[Karen]] and [[Will]] to fight Green at [[Ilex Forest]]. They nearly defeated her [[legendary birds]], but all the trainers' Pokémon from both Johto and Kanto were sent there with the use of the [[Pokémon Storage System]], with the combined strength of all the Pokémon the two were freed from the Masked Man's control and flew off to parts unknown.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====

You can't see the '''Legendary Birds''' until you have the magical object related to each—The Silver Wing in Lugia's case, the Rainbow Wing in Ho-Oh's."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #140, page 80</ref> and game guides<ref>''"The '''Legendary Bird''', Ho-Oh, is on the Tower's roof."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 40; ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 45</ref>.

[[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]]</ref><ref name=MastersOST>''Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)'' [[Jukebox (Masters)]]</ref> is a term that describes to the three ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] legend—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. This trio has also been unofficially called the '''weather trio''' by fans.

Starting in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Rayquaza.

==Design==
The three super-ancient Pokémon all have some physiological similarities, with similar symbols on their bodies as well as yellow eyes.

===Abilities===
Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza all have {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} {{Abilities}}. In their debut appearance in the Generation III games, their Abilities were exclusive to them (although {{a|Cloud Nine}} has the same effect as Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}} Ability). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, which are enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Groudon and Kyogre have {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, which create [[harsh sunlight]] and [[rain]], respectively. From Generation III to V, these Abilities created weather that lasted for the remainder of the battle—this contrasts with the moves {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, which only create weather for 5 turns. This was changed in Generation VI, so that these Abilities also only create weather for 5 turns.

Rayquaza's Air Lock Ability removes the effects of any weather as long as Rayquaza remains in battle, allowing it to remove the effects of the Abilities of Groudon and Kyogre.

Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza have the Abilities {{a|Desolate Land}}, {{a|Primordial Sea}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}, which create the special weather conditions [[extremely harsh sunlight]], [[heavy rain]], and [[strong winds]], respectively. These weather conditions last as long as they remain in battle. Extremely harsh sunlight and heavy rain are enhanced versions of harsh sunlight and rain, having all the same effects as the base weather, but providing additional benefits and being harder to remove. All three weather conditions cannot be replaced by other weather conditions while a Pokémon with the corresponding Ability remains on the field, except each other.

===Origin===
The three Pokémon represent separate elemental spheres: Kyogre having dominion over the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon over the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza over the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These roles are reflected in their types. The three Pokémon could be references to creatures from Hebrew myth: {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird.

==History==
[[File:Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre artwork.png|thumb|250px|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} battle]]
Thousands of years ago, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are formed by the primal energy that existed in that time and then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. Meanwhile [[Rayquaza (Pokémon)|Rayquaza]] was formed from the minerals in the ozone layer, where it resided in and fed on water, other particles, and [[Meteorite|meteorites]]. At some point later, a chance meeting turns Kyogre and Groudon into rivals, which begins a cataclismic conflict for the dominance over the [[Pokémon world]]. This battle continues until Rayquaza eventually descends from the skies and quells it, forcing both Legends to retreat into underground caverns: Kyogre in [[Seafloor Cavern]] and Groudon in Seafloor Cavern{{Sup/3|RS}}{{Sup/6|ORAS}}/[[Mt. Chimney]]{{Sup/3|E}}, where they slumbered in since then.

2000 years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy, so Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre reawakened and fought over that energy in long clashes<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref>, creating natural disasters in the process. The [[Hoenn]] [[region]] was created from those same clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing, but Rayquaza intervened once again. Its power overwhelmed that of the two primal Pokémon, ending their conflict and returning peace to the world. At some point, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} would be sealed in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] by Rayquaza to prevent others from releasing the respective Super-ancient Pokémon from its eternal slumber.<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The [[super-ancient Pokémon]] that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

A thousand years ago, a meteoroid hit the earth, creating the crater in which [[Sootopolis City]] would be built in. This impact caused cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre to awaken and battle each other once again for 20 days, threatening to destroy the world in the process.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue | The Legends of Hoenn Continue]</ref> The [[Draconid people]] had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and their wish for this to happen again combined with the power of a [[Key Stone|meteorite]] allowed Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time and calm down the two Primal Pokémon once more. Stripped of their primal forms, Groudon and Kyogre entered a deep slumber in their respective homes while Rayquaza returned to ozone layer.

At some point, [[Sky Pillar]] was then created by the Draconids to honor of Rayquaza and to preserve the history of the three super-ancient Pokémon. They also prepared for the day when Rayquaza would be needed again in a thousand years when [[Grand Meteor Delta|another meteoroid]] appeared on a collision course with Hoenn. The [[Red Orb]] and [[Blue Orb]] were also created in case Groudon and Kyogre returned, with the power to control the respective Pokémon.

Rayquaza is obtained during the Delta Episode atop [[Sky Pillar]], which occurs after the player become the Champion and is granted access to Sky Pillar by [[Wallace]]. Rayquaza must be caught when encountered; if the player runs away from it or defeats it, they will have to battle it again until it is caught.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all three members of the super-ancient Pokémon can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/7|US}} can be encountered in the Cave World through a yellow warp hole. {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole. {{p|Rayquaza}} can be encountered in the Cliff World through a red warp hole, as long as both Groudon and Kyogre are in the player's party.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{spoilers}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], as well as their [[remake]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], Groudon and Rayquaza serve notable roles in the story. Groudon awakens after the player has visited [[Mt. Freeze]] and spoken with {{p|Ninetales}}. After [[Team A.C.T.]] and another team have failed to defeat it, the player's team must travel to [[Magma Cavern]] to stop it. Rayquaza, meanwhile, serves as the final boss of the main game. The player and their partner must climb to the top of the [[Sky Tower]] in order to ask Rayquaza's help in destroying a giant meteor that's threatening the planet. While Rayquaza initially attacks them due to them intruding on his territory, it sees reason at the last second and uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to destroy the meteor just before it can hit.

During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be recruited by defeating them on the final floor of a dungeon. Kyogre resides at the bottom of the [[Stormy Sea]], while Groudon and Rayquaza can be found in the same dungeons as during the main game. In the remake, Kyogre and Groudon will undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while being fought, while Rayquaza will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky}}, the player and partner encounter a Groudon at the end of [[Steam Cave]], though after it is defeated, it turns out to have been just an illusion created by {{p|Uxie}} to protect the [[Time Gear]] of [[Fogbound Lake]]. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be found in a dungeon, protecting one of the [[Seven Treasures]] and needing to be defeated in order to obtain them.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Rayquaza makes several brief appearances during the main game, fleeing the planet in fear of the [[Dark Matter]], though it eventually returns to prevent the Dark Matter from taking the [[Tree of Life]] away from the planet, teaming up with {{p|Deoxys}} to do so. Though the Dark Matter turns both of them to stone soon after, they're restored to normal following Dark Matter's defeat. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon serves as the boss of a dungeon, appearing in their alternate forms.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

====''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''====
{{main|Rayquaza (M07)}}
Rayquaza first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it defended its territory from a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by a dark entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[Pokémon of myth]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. It was revealed that long ago, Kyogre and Groudon engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dahara City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dahara City.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
{{main|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the [[Blue Orb]]. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the [[Red Orb]]. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{an|Lance}} managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively.
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|left|250px|Rayquaza in {{aniseries|RS}}]]

====[[Mega Evolution Specials]]====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon make prominent appearances in the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] of {{aniseries|XY}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Rayquaza appeared after [[Alain]] and {{an|Steven Stone}} used their [[Mega Ring]] and [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary [[Giant Rock]]. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke Groudon and Kyogre from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the Giant Rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the Giant Rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment, they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the Giant Rock.

Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the Giant Rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the Giant Rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the Giant Rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.
[[File:Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Rayquaza in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
{{main|Black Rayquaza}}
A Shiny Rayquaza known as the Black Rayquaza plays a major role in the series. It was once owned by the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]], contained in an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} that eventually wound up in [[Roy]]'s possession. He initially thought the Poké Ball was empty, until ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', where it reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal Rayquaza, which subsequently flew away, setting up Roy's dream to follow and find it.

Rayquaza next appeared before the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]''. In [[HZ033|the following episode]], [[Amethio]] fought against Rayquaza, but was quickly defeated by it. In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the [[Explorers]] conducted an operation where to summon and capture Rayquaza, but were foiled by the Rising Volt Tacklers, who proceeded to battle Rayquaza in [[HZ045|the next episode]], but were defeated.

==In the manga==

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The three super-ancient Pokémon are awakened once again, this time to help stop the world from being destroyed by [[Grand Meteor Delta|a giant meteoroid]], gaining the access to their ultimate forms for this purpose. Kyogre and Groudon expend all of their energy in stopping just a fragment of the meteoroid, leaving it up to Rayquaza and the [[human]]s of the world to stop the main body of the meteoroid.

The '''super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|超|ちょう}}{{ruby|古|こ}}{{ruby|代|だい}}ポケモン''' ''Chō-kodai Pokemon'', "super-ancient Pokémon")<ref>"''This defies belief... A super-ancient POKéMON... Its power is unbelievable.

But there aren’t just two super-ancient POKéMON. There is one more somewhere. Somewhere, there is a super-ancient POKéMON named RAYQUAZA.''" - [[Wallace]] ([[Pokémon Emerald Version]])</ref><ref name=SuperMusicCollectionRS>''The Super-Ancient Pokémon Awaken!'' [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]]</ref><ref name=MastersOST>''Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)'' [[Jukebox (Masters)]]</ref> is a term that describes to the three ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] legend—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. This trio has also been unofficially called the '''weather trio''' by fans.

Starting in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Rayquaza.

==Design==
The three super-ancient Pokémon all have some physiological similarities, with similar symbols on their bodies as well as yellow eyes.

===Abilities===
Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza all have {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} {{Abilities}}. In their debut appearance in the Generation III games, their Abilities were exclusive to them (although {{a|Cloud Nine}} has the same effect as Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}} Ability). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, which are enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Groudon and Kyogre have {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, which create [[harsh sunlight]] and [[rain]], respectively. From Generation III to V, these Abilities created weather that lasted for the remainder of the battle—this contrasts with the moves {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, which only create weather for 5 turns. This was changed in Generation VI, so that these Abilities also only create weather for 5 turns.

Rayquaza's Air Lock Ability removes the effects of any weather as long as Rayquaza remains in battle, allowing it to remove the effects of the Abilities of Groudon and Kyogre.

Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza have the Abilities {{a|Desolate Land}}, {{a|Primordial Sea}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}, which create the special weather conditions [[extremely harsh sunlight]], [[heavy rain]], and [[strong winds]], respectively. These weather conditions last as long as they remain in battle. Extremely harsh sunlight and heavy rain are enhanced versions of harsh sunlight and rain, having all the same effects as the base weather, but providing additional benefits and being harder to remove. All three weather conditions cannot be replaced by other weather conditions while a Pokémon with the corresponding Ability remains on the field, except each other.

===Origin===
The three Pokémon represent separate elemental spheres: Kyogre having dominion over the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon over the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza over the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These roles are reflected in their types. The three Pokémon could be references to creatures from Hebrew myth: {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird.

==History==
[[File:Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre artwork.png|thumb|250px|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} battle]]
Thousands of years ago, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are formed by the primal energy that existed in that time and then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. Meanwhile [[Rayquaza (Pokémon)|Rayquaza]] was formed from the minerals in the ozone layer, where it resided in and fed on water, other particles, and [[Meteorite|meteorites]]. At some point later, a chance meeting turns Kyogre and Groudon into rivals, which begins a cataclismic conflict for the dominance over the [[Pokémon world]]. This battle continues until Rayquaza eventually descends from the skies and quells it, forcing both Legends to retreat into underground caverns: Kyogre in [[Seafloor Cavern]] and Groudon in Seafloor Cavern{{Sup/3|RS}}{{Sup/6|ORAS}}/[[Mt. Chimney]]{{Sup/3|E}}, where they slumbered in since then.

2000 years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy, so Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre reawakened and fought over that energy in long clashes<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref>, creating natural disasters in the process. The [[Hoenn]] [[region]] was created from those same clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing, but Rayquaza intervened once again. Its power overwhelmed that of the two primal Pokémon, ending their conflict and returning peace to the world. At some point, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} would be sealed in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] by Rayquaza to prevent others from releasing the respective Super-ancient Pokémon from its eternal slumber.<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The [[super-ancient Pokémon]] that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

A thousand years ago, a meteoroid hit the earth, creating the crater in which [[Sootopolis City]] would be built in. This impact caused cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre to awaken and battle each other once again for 20 days, threatening to destroy the world in the process.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue | The Legends of Hoenn Continue]</ref> The [[Draconid people]] had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and their wish for this to happen again combined with the power of a [[Key Stone|meteorite]] allowed Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time and calm down the two Primal Pokémon once more. Stripped of their primal forms, Groudon and Kyogre entered a deep slumber in their respective homes while Rayquaza returned to ozone layer.

At some point, [[Sky Pillar]] was then created by the Draconids to honor of Rayquaza and to preserve the history of the three super-ancient Pokémon. They also prepared for the day when Rayquaza would be needed again in a thousand years when [[Grand Meteor Delta|another meteoroid]] appeared on a collision course with Hoenn. The [[Red Orb]] and [[Blue Orb]] were also created in case Groudon and Kyogre returned, with the power to control the respective Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], as well as their [[remake]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], Groudon and Rayquaza serve notable roles in the story. Groudon awakens after the player has visited [[Mt. Freeze]] and spoken with {{p|Ninetales}}. After [[Team A.C.T.]] and another team have failed to defeat it, the player's team must travel to [[Magma Cavern]] to stop it. Rayquaza, meanwhile, serves as the final boss of the main game. The player and their partner must climb to the top of the [[Sky Tower]] in order to ask Rayquaza's help in destroying a giant meteor that's threatening the planet. While Rayquaza initially attacks them due to them intruding on his territory, it sees reason at the last second and uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to destroy the meteor just before it can hit.

During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be recruited by defeating them on the final floor of a dungeon. Kyogre resides at the bottom of the [[Stormy Sea]], while Groudon and Rayquaza can be found in the same dungeons as during the main game. In the remake, Kyogre and Groudon will undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while being fought, while Rayquaza will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky}}, the player and partner encounter a Groudon at the end of [[Steam Cave]], though after it is defeated, it turns out to have been just an illusion created by {{p|Uxie}} to protect the [[Time Gear]] of [[Fogbound Lake]]. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be found in a dungeon, protecting one of the [[Seven Treasures]] and needing to be defeated in order to obtain them.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Rayquaza makes several brief appearances during the main game, fleeing the planet in fear of the [[Dark Matter]], though it eventually returns to prevent the Dark Matter from taking the [[Tree of Life]] away from the planet, teaming up with {{p|Deoxys}} to do so. Though the Dark Matter turns both of them to stone soon after, they're restored to normal following Dark Matter's defeat. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon serves as the boss of a dungeon, appearing in their alternate forms.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

====''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''====
{{main|Rayquaza (M07)}}
Rayquaza first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it defended its territory from a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by a dark entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[Pokémon of myth]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. It was revealed that long ago, Kyogre and Groudon engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dahara City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dahara City.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
{{main|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the [[Blue Orb]]. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the [[Red Orb]]. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{an|Lance}} managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively.
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|left|250px|Rayquaza in {{aniseries|RS}}]]

====[[Mega Evolution Specials]]====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon make prominent appearances in the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] of {{aniseries|XY}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Rayquaza appeared after [[Alain]] and {{an|Steven Stone}} used their [[Mega Ring]] and [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary [[Giant Rock]]. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke Groudon and Kyogre from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the Giant Rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the Giant Rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment, they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the Giant Rock.

Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the Giant Rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the Giant Rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the Giant Rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.
[[File:Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Rayquaza in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
{{main|Black Rayquaza}}
A Shiny Rayquaza known as the Black Rayquaza plays a major role in the series. It was once owned by the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]], contained in an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} that eventually wound up in [[Roy]]'s possession. He initially thought the Poké Ball was empty, until ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', where it reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal Rayquaza, which subsequently flew away, setting up Roy's dream to follow and find it.

Rayquaza next appeared before the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]''. In [[HZ033|the following episode]], [[Amethio]] fought against Rayquaza, but was quickly defeated by it. In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the [[Explorers]] conducted an operation where to summon and capture Rayquaza, but were foiled by the Rising Volt Tacklers, who proceeded to battle Rayquaza in [[HZ045|the next episode]], but were defeated.

==In the manga==

The '''super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|超|ちょう}}{{ruby|古|こ}}{{ruby|代|だい}}ポケモン''' ''Chō-kodai Pokemon'', "super-ancient Pokémon")<ref>"''This defies belief... A super-ancient POKéMON...

But there aren’t just two super-ancient POKéMON. There is one more somewhere. Somewhere, there is a super-ancient POKéMON named RAYQUAZA.''" - [[Wallace]] ([[Pokémon Emerald Version]])</ref><ref name=SuperMusicCollectionRS>''The Super-Ancient Pokémon Awaken!'' [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]]</ref><ref name=MastersOST>''Battle! (Super-Ancient Pokémon) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)'' [[Jukebox (Masters)]]</ref> is a term that describes to the three ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] legend—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. This trio has also been unofficially called the '''weather trio''' by fans.

Starting in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] to become Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Rayquaza.

==Design==
The three super-ancient Pokémon all have some physiological similarities, with similar symbols on their bodies as well as yellow eyes.

===Abilities===
Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza all have {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} {{Abilities}}. In their debut appearance in the Generation III games, their Abilities were exclusive to them (although {{a|Cloud Nine}} has the same effect as Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}} Ability). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, which are enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Groudon and Kyogre have {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, which create [[harsh sunlight]] and [[rain]], respectively. From Generation III to V, these Abilities created weather that lasted for the remainder of the battle—this contrasts with the moves {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, which only create weather for 5 turns. This was changed in Generation VI, so that these Abilities also only create weather for 5 turns.

Rayquaza's Air Lock Ability removes the effects of any weather as long as Rayquaza remains in battle, allowing it to remove the effects of the Abilities of Groudon and Kyogre.

Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza have the Abilities {{a|Desolate Land}}, {{a|Primordial Sea}}, and {{a|Delta Stream}}, which create the special weather conditions [[extremely harsh sunlight]], [[heavy rain]], and [[strong winds]], respectively. These weather conditions last as long as they remain in battle. Extremely harsh sunlight and heavy rain are enhanced versions of harsh sunlight and rain, having all the same effects as the base weather, but providing additional benefits and being harder to remove. All three weather conditions cannot be replaced by other weather conditions while a Pokémon with the corresponding Ability remains on the field, except each other.

===Origin===
The three Pokémon represent separate elemental spheres: Kyogre having dominion over the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon over the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza over the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These roles are reflected in their types. The three Pokémon could be references to creatures from Hebrew myth: {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird.

==History==
[[File:Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre artwork.png|thumb|250px|[[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} battle]]
Thousands of years ago, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}} and Primal {{p|Groudon}} are formed by the primal energy that existed in that time and then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. Meanwhile [[Rayquaza (Pokémon)|Rayquaza]] was formed from the minerals in the ozone layer, where it resided in and fed on water, other particles, and [[Meteorite|meteorites]]. At some point later, a chance meeting turns Kyogre and Groudon into rivals, which begins a cataclismic conflict for the dominance over the [[Pokémon world]]. This battle continues until Rayquaza eventually descends from the skies and quells it, forcing both Legends to retreat into underground caverns: Kyogre in [[Seafloor Cavern]] and Groudon in Seafloor Cavern{{Sup/3|RS}}{{Sup/6|ORAS}}/[[Mt. Chimney]]{{Sup/3|E}}, where they slumbered in since then.

2000 years ago, the world was overflowing with natural energy, so Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre reawakened and fought over that energy in long clashes<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref>, creating natural disasters in the process. The [[Hoenn]] [[region]] was created from those same clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing, but Rayquaza intervened once again. Its power overwhelmed that of the two primal Pokémon, ending their conflict and returning peace to the world. At some point, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} would be sealed in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] by Rayquaza to prevent others from releasing the respective Super-ancient Pokémon from its eternal slumber.<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The [[super-ancient Pokémon]] that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

A thousand years ago, a meteoroid hit the earth, creating the crater in which [[Sootopolis City]] would be built in. This impact caused cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre to awaken and battle each other once again for 20 days, threatening to destroy the world in the process.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue | The Legends of Hoenn Continue]</ref> The [[Draconid people]] had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and their wish for this to happen again combined with the power of a [[Key Stone|meteorite]] allowed Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time and calm down the two Primal Pokémon once more. Stripped of their primal forms, Groudon and Kyogre entered a deep slumber in their respective homes while Rayquaza returned to ozone layer.

At some point, [[Sky Pillar]] was then created by the Draconids to honor of Rayquaza and to preserve the history of the three super-ancient Pokémon. They also prepared for the day when Rayquaza would be needed again in a thousand years when [[Grand Meteor Delta|another meteoroid]] appeared on a collision course with Hoenn. The [[Red Orb]] and [[Blue Orb]] were also created in case Groudon and Kyogre returned, with the power to control the respective Pokémon.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{spoilers}}
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], as well as their [[remake]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], Groudon and Rayquaza serve notable roles in the story. Groudon awakens after the player has visited [[Mt. Freeze]] and spoken with {{p|Ninetales}}. After [[Team A.C.T.]] and another team have failed to defeat it, the player's team must travel to [[Magma Cavern]] to stop it. Rayquaza, meanwhile, serves as the final boss of the main game. The player and their partner must climb to the top of the [[Sky Tower]] in order to ask Rayquaza's help in destroying a giant meteor that's threatening the planet. While Rayquaza initially attacks them due to them intruding on his territory, it sees reason at the last second and uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to destroy the meteor just before it can hit.

During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be recruited by defeating them on the final floor of a dungeon. Kyogre resides at the bottom of the [[Stormy Sea]], while Groudon and Rayquaza can be found in the same dungeons as during the main game. In the remake, Kyogre and Groudon will undergo [[Primal Reversion]] while being fought, while Rayquaza will [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky}}, the player and partner encounter a Groudon at the end of [[Steam Cave]], though after it is defeated, it turns out to have been just an illusion created by {{p|Uxie}} to protect the [[Time Gear]] of [[Fogbound Lake]]. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon can be found in a dungeon, protecting one of the [[Seven Treasures]] and needing to be defeated in order to obtain them.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Rayquaza makes several brief appearances during the main game, fleeing the planet in fear of the [[Dark Matter]], though it eventually returns to prevent the Dark Matter from taking the [[Tree of Life]] away from the planet, teaming up with {{p|Deoxys}} to do so. Though the Dark Matter turns both of them to stone soon after, they're restored to normal following Dark Matter's defeat. During the post-game, each of the super-ancient Pokémon serves as the boss of a dungeon, appearing in their alternate forms.

[[File:Kyogre Groudon legend.png|thumb|250px|A mural depicting Groudon and Kyogre in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

====''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''====
{{main|Rayquaza (M07)}}
Rayquaza first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it defended its territory from a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by a dark entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[Pokémon of myth]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. It was revealed that long ago, Kyogre and Groudon engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dahara City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dahara City.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
{{main|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the [[Blue Orb]]. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the [[Red Orb]]. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{an|Lance}} managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively.
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|left|250px|Rayquaza in {{aniseries|RS}}]]

====[[Mega Evolution Specials]]====
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)}}
Kyogre and Groudon make prominent appearances in the [[Mega Evolution Specials]] of {{aniseries|XY}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Rayquaza appeared after [[Alain]] and {{an|Steven Stone}} used their [[Mega Ring]] and [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary [[Giant Rock]]. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke Groudon and Kyogre from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the Giant Rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the Giant Rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment, they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the Giant Rock.

Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the Giant Rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the Giant Rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the Giant Rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.
[[File:Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Rayquaza in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
{{main|Black Rayquaza}}
A Shiny Rayquaza known as the Black Rayquaza plays a major role in the series. It was once owned by the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]], contained in an {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} that eventually wound up in [[Roy]]'s possession. He initially thought the Poké Ball was empty, until ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', where it reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal Rayquaza, which subsequently flew away, setting up Roy's dream to follow and find it.

Rayquaza next appeared before the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in ''[[HZ032|Lapras's Feelings for its Friends]]''. In [[HZ033|the following episode]], [[Amethio]] fought against Rayquaza, but was quickly defeated by it. In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', the [[Explorers]] conducted an operation where to summon and capture Rayquaza, but were foiled by the Rising Volt Tacklers, who proceeded to battle Rayquaza in [[HZ045|the next episode]], but were defeated.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are the second and final paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} starts their {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved from the [[Johto]] [[region]] after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the [[Inside of Truck|moving truck]], which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the truck, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets Brendan or May (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, she or he soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a wild {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a {{i|Poké Ball}} out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, and {{p|Torchic}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds Brendan or May on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first trainer {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some Poké Balls. When leaving through Route 101, the player runs into Brendan or May who gives him a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, he meets with his father at the Gym, where he tells him that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman's help for catching a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the region's [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

The player meets Brendan or May right before the [[Rustboro Gym]], where the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the [[Devon Parts]] back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. Outside, Brendan or May explains how she or he caught Pokémon in Petalburg Woods, commenting on how Mr. Briney was once a sailor. The player then heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but a group of Ruin Maniacs block the room Steven occupies. After the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]], they disappear and the player can find Steven in Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that they could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling Brendan or May, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]]. Along the way, the player meets Brendan or May who gives them {{m|Strength}}, and tells them about [[Professor Cozmo]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. Meanwhile, the player is told by Brendan or May that Professor Cozmo has been kidnapped by the evil team at [[Meteor Falls]], located at the end of Route 114. Inside which the player along with Brendan or May battles [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, along with a grunt. This time, they have stolen a valuable [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly the opposite-version's team appears, taunting the primary evil team, who retreats with the Meteorite to [[Mt. Chimney]], and warns the player to not interfere with Team Aqua{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Magma{{sup/6|AS}}. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting; after fighting the admin of the primary evil team from Meteor Falls, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, gives the player the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player meets Brendan or May who gives the player the [[Go-Goggles]] and suggests that he challenge his father at the Petalburg Gym, offering to go with him. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the Legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the other evil team admin [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give them its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a [[Mega Bracelet]] and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what they found out. After defeating the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, Brendan or May appears and battles the player, giving away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]], but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the [[Devon Scope]], a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles Brendan or May again; after the battle, Brendan or May notices the meteorite shining like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the [[Red Orb]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Blue Orb]]{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him, having the admin from Southern Island attack the player before heading to Slateport City. The old couple that watches over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Captain Stern begs the player to stop the evil team. After fighting their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, the player encounters Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where they challenge Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites them to his house, where he gives them the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player finds Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} taunting the opposite version's team leader, who then challenges the player to a battle. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arrive and warn their leader against waking up the Legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], driving the weather of Hoenn out of control. The opposite team's leader explains that they are unable to control Pokémon's Primal Reversion, and the primary evil team leader discovers to his horror that his plan did not work as he intended.

After the bosses leave to try to stop the Pokémon, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admin Tabitha/Shelly of both teams, along with Brendan or May, who explains what they saw on TV. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb they possess can weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. The player puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal. The team leaders reconcile, Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and Brendan/May explains how he/she is impressed with the player.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the player gets the {{Badge|Rain}}, and the gym leader mentions that Prof. Birch has something for them. At Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have all eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and Brendan/May arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and Brendan/May return home. After the credits, on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} challenges, Brendan or May challenges the player to a battle one last time.

[[File:ORAS Delta Episode.png|thumb|250px|Promotional artwork for the [[Delta Episode]]]]
Back at home, the player's parents are discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

===Delta Episode===
{{main|Delta Episode}}
Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the Delta Episode. The episode revolves around a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, Zinnia.

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the [[S.S. Ticket]] to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]], and the player unlocks the [[Hoenn League]]'s rematch teams.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics and visuals added from later games===
The following elements from [[Generation VI]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers, Gym Leaders, and NPCs. The battle locations and interiors of buildings are also in 3D.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s were added, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]] were added.
* [[Horde Encounter]]s were added.
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] were added, replacing the [[Battle Tower]].
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
* There are 100 [[TM]]s, as opposed to 50 TMs in Ruby and Sapphire. The TM list from X and Y is used, with the exception of [[TM94]] ({{m|Rock Smash}}{{sup/6|XY}}/{{m|Secret Power}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}), to reflect the fact that Rock Smash is an HM once again.
* The [[Exp. Share]] is now a [[Key Item]] that shares [[experience]] with all Pokémon in the party when activated. It is also obtained earlier, replacing the [[Great Ball]] given by the [[Devon Corporation]] employee in [[Petalburg Woods]] after the player rescues him from the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Team Magma}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}}.
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

The following elements from [[Generation V]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[TM]]s have been revamped, they can now be used an unlimited number of times, are more expensive, and can no longer be [[Held item|held]], [[trade]]d, or sold.
* Some Trainers now have the {{tc|Backpacker}} class.
* The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been removed, with the in-universe reason being that they closed down. Three [[Pokémon doll]]s can be obtained in its place.

The following elements from [[Generation IV]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* 3D rendered areas for locations are used, replacing the 2D tile-sets and non animated sprites from {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] visibly flows from day to night. This mechanic was introduced in [[Generation II]] but was absent from [[Generation III]].
* The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}}, for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of Evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
** [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
** [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
** [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a [[special magnetic field]] where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
*The Pokémon and item selection screens on the PC are redesigned to use the touchscreen, and show new stats.
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* If a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] faints, it will reappear after defeating the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM. As a result, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.

The following elements from later Generation III games have been added:
*Pokémon now have idle animations from both the front and back, instead of mostly staying still.
*e-Reader support has been removed.
*[[Move Tutor]]s were added.
*Items have icons in the PC.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] was introduced. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of Key Items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the [[Eon Flute]] to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long-grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This includes an area where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F, where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
*The Delta Episode is introduced as new content.
* [[Secret Base]]s have been replaced by Super Secret Bases. Features of the new system include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars.
** The Beauty and Smart conditions have been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and {{OBP|Clever|condition}}, respectively.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The [[sheen]] stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
** {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Contest Ribbons}} are only awarded to Pokémon who have won in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]].
** [[Wallace]], as well as two new Contest-exclusive characters—[[Lisia]] and {{ga|Chaz}}— appear as special contestants.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
* Similar to Emerald's {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, [[Battle Point]]s can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
** Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.
* [[Trend|Trendy phrases]] set in [[Dewford Town]] are constructed differently. Since the [[easy chat system]] was removed, the player constructs a trendy phrase by selecting an item from the Items or Medicine Pockets along with one of ten possible words.

====Story====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
*** Further, the admins now have extended personalities.
*** In addition, the opposite team, rather than acting as an ally, simply opposes their counterparts, even distrusting the player as to warn them not to interfere with their own goals.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
** May/Brendan, when not chosen, has an extended personality and bigger role in the storyline, even teaming with the player against Team Magma/Aqua at Meteor Falls, and seeing the player after Groudon/Kyogre is awakened.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[Red Orb|Red]]/[[Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and [[Courtney]] is [[Matt]]'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Weather Institute]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

====Battles====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The {{p|Roselia}} of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a {{p|Budew}} in her first battle.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* A {{p|Slugma}} replaces {{p|Numel}} in May or Brendan's lineup if the player chose {{p|Treecko}} as their first partner Pokémon. Conversely, a Numel replaces one of [[Flannery]]’s Slugma in her Gym battle.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their first partner Pokémon can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[Form]]e freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its Forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Like in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] will give the player their choice of a [[Johto first partner Pokémon]]. He'll do this on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after the player first enters the Hall of Fame and talks to [[Zinnia]].
** After obtaining the Johto first partner Pokémon and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] first partner Pokémon, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] first partner Pokémon if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who could give the player a {{p|Wynaut}} Egg now gives out a second Pokémon Egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

*As in the original, while only one of {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}} roam the region in each game, the other one can be found on [[Southern Island]] with the [[Eon Ticket]].

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Localization changes==
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, {{ho|Mom}} says that she and [[Norman]] saw the [[Litleonids]] when they last passed by 12 years ago. However, this was changed to 11 years ago in the English and other language versions.
*: ''"The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!"''
* {{tc|Street Thug}} Hannibal, found on {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, is 54 years old: ''"I’ve been alive for 54 years!"'' In the French version only, he first claims to be 50 years old and then corrects it to 54: ''"Je viens d’avoir 50 ans. Bon, en fait, 54 ans…"''
* {{tc|Beauty}} Bunnie, found in the [[Battle Maison]], pretends to be an adult woman, but she is 7 years old in the English, Japanese, and Korean versions, 13 years old in the German and Italian versions, or 15 years old in the Spanish version. Conversely, she is 45 years old in the French version, where she is pretending to be younger instead.
*: Before battle: ''"Hey there, Trainer! Do you think I’m a grown-up?"''
*: After winning: ''"Tee hee... I won because I’m a grown-up!"''
*: After losing: ''"Tee hee! My mom did my makeup! I’m actually only seven years old!"''

===Localization changes shared by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire===
{{main|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|section=Localization changes shared by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}

===Localization changes inherited from other games===
* In the Japanese versions of [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, a music box version of the "Happy Birthday to You" music theme plays the first time when the player enters a [[Pokémon Center]] in their current [[birthday]]. This music theme starts playing during the cutscene when the [[Pokémon Center lady]] says happy birthday to the player, and keeps playing after the cutscene is over. In subsequent visits during the current birthday, this music theme is replaced by "[[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection|Happy Birthday from the Pokémon Center!]]", a rendition of the regular "Pokémon Center" theme in a music box style as well.
** In international versions, "Happy Birthday to You" is not heard. Instead, "Happy Birthday from the Pokémon Center!" plays in all visits during the player's birthday.

==Reception==
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83%<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/pokemon-omega-ruby Pokémon Omega Ruby for 3DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref> and 82%,<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/pokemon-alpha-sapphire Pokémon Alpha Sapphire for 3DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref> respectively, on {{wp|Metacritic}}. {{wp|IGN}} rated the games a "Good" 7.8/10,<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - IGN]</ref> 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40,<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-111714-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire/ Famitsu review scores (11/17/14) - Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo Everything]</ref> scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire. {{wp|Nintendo Life}} gave the games a score of 9 out of 10<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphire Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - Nintendo Life]</ref> and {{wp|Eurogamer}} gave them a 8/10 noting that "It's the closest many of us will likely get to genuinely exploring unknown territory".<ref>[https://www.eurogamer.net/pokemon-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-review Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - Eurogamer]</ref>

==Trivia==
* The games were named by [[Masafumi Nukita]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of both the Japanese release of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and when ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' first aired on Japan.
* These are the first pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** No HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games are included.
** No new player characters are introduced.
** Nearly all Pokémon not in the original games use recycled [[Pokédex]] descriptions (from [[Pokémon X and Y]]) instead of receiving brand new ones, with the only exception being {{p|Hoopa}}.
** The events of the game do not run concurrently with the events of the main installment in the generation, instead, being implied to run around the same time as the original Ruby and Sapphire, while [[Pokémon X and Y]] takes place around the same time as {{B2W2}}.
** Pokémon originating from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** There is no bundle containing a compatible accessory.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** All methods of Evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible:
*** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock.
*** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
*** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] which only supports the first 151 Pokémon along with {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, held items are not supported and [[Friendship]]-induced Evolutions do not trigger ({{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}} had its Evolution method changed to account for this).
*** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], despite {{p|Eevee}} being able to reach high levels of [[Friendship]] (which has been amalgamated with [[Affection]] since Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!) and learn a Fairy-type move, its Evolution into {{p|Sylveon}} does not trigger.
*** By extension, this is the only pair of remakes where all of the Evolutions of Eevee that existed at the time are obtainable without [[trading]].
** Certain Pokémon that were in the original games received entirely new [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}).
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items that were not in the generation's main pair of games were introduced.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* These are the only Pokémon games where the National Pokédex can be unlocked before entering the Hall of Fame without external trading. {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} technically were the first games to feature an unlockable National Pokédex prior to entering the Hall of Fame, but required trading from another [[Generation III]] Pokémon game.
* These are the first games to feature Hoenn in Korean, as the Generation III games were never translated into Korean.
* With the exception of Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, Pokémon from the original games recycle their Pokédex descriptions from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* The ace Pokémon of the three new characters introduced within these remakes ([[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]]), are all part {{type|Dragon}}.
* These are the last [[core series]] games to date to feature Pokédex entries for all existing Pokémon at the time.
** Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon still allowed Pokémon outside of those usually obtainable to be transferred into the game; however, they lack Pokédex entries and numbers.
** Starting from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], games no longer include all existing Pokémon in their code.
*** While the [[National Pokédex]] makes a return in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it remains faithful to the original games, only listing the 493 species from the first four generations.
* These are the only core series games since the start of [[Pokémon Presents|Pokémon-themed video presentations]] to not be first revealed in such a presentation.
* These are the only Pokémon games not set in the Kalos region to introduce new Mega Evolutions.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are the second and final paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014 with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} starts their {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved from the [[Johto]] [[region]] after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the [[Inside of Truck|moving truck]], which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the truck, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets Brendan or May (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, she or he soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a wild {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a {{i|Poké Ball}} out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Mudkip}}, and {{p|Torchic}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds Brendan or May on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, they have their first trainer {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some Poké Balls. When leaving through Route 101, the player runs into Brendan or May who gives him a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the DexNav, and teaches him how to use it. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, he meets with his father at the Gym, where he tells him that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named [[Wally]] enters the Gym and asks Norman's help for catching a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the region's [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]]. Upon exiting the forest, the player is spotted by a [[Zinnia|red-eyed grunt]] who reports to her leader.

The player meets Brendan or May right before the [[Rustboro Gym]], where the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and that the player must get the [[Devon Parts]] back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a new upgrade for the [[PokéNav Plus]], the Buzznav. Outside, Brendan or May explains how she or he caught Pokémon in Petalburg Woods, commenting on how Mr. Briney was once a sailor. The player then heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The cave is open to visitors, but a group of Ruin Maniacs block the room Steven occupies. After the player earns the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly at the [[Dewford Gym]], they disappear and the player can find Steven in Granite Cave, looking at a mural of a Groudon marked with omegas{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre marked with alphas{{sup/6|AS}} and remembering old legends. After listening to Steven, the player delivers the letter to him, he rewards the player with {{TM|51|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that they could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling Brendan or May, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning Aggronite as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]]. Along the way, the player meets Brendan or May who gives them {{m|Strength}}, and tells them about [[Professor Cozmo]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. Meanwhile, the player is told by Brendan or May that Professor Cozmo has been kidnapped by the evil team at [[Meteor Falls]], located at the end of Route 114. Inside which the player along with Brendan or May battles [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, along with a grunt. This time, they have stolen a valuable [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly the opposite-version's team appears, taunting the primary evil team, who retreats with the Meteorite to [[Mt. Chimney]], and warns the player to not interfere with Team Aqua{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Magma{{sup/6|AS}}. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting; after fighting the admin of the primary evil team from Meteor Falls, the player finds the leader of the team, [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}, using the meteorite in a strange machine with the intention of turning it into a Mega Stone. The leader then battles the player. After the battle, the leader is informed of a better way to achieve his team's goals, gives the player the meteorite, and retreats.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player meets Brendan or May who gives the player the [[Go-Goggles]] and suggests that he challenge his father at the Petalburg Gym, offering to go with him. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Their discussion is interrupted by the arrival of a frightened {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}}. Steven realizes the Legendary Pokémon is asking for help, and it takes both Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]] where the other evil team admin [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} is terrorizing Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}. After fighting off the evil team, Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} decides to join the player's team and give them its Mega Stone. Steven awards the player with a [[Mega Bracelet]] and Latias{{sup/6|OR}}/Latios{{sup/6|AS}} takes both of them back to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of more information on Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. After battling the grunts, the player comes face to face with the admin [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}}, who appears distressed with what they found out. After defeating the admin, the player saves the institute and is given a Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, Brendan or May appears and battles the player, giving away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]], but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the [[Devon Scope]], a Mega Stone and notices that the meteorite the player picked up from Mt Chimney emits light. The Devon Scope allows the player to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles Brendan or May again; after the battle, Brendan or May notices the meteorite shining like Steven did before.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the [[Red Orb]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Blue Orb]]{{sup/6|AS}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him, having the admin from Southern Island attack the player before heading to Slateport City. The old couple that watches over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Captain Stern begs the player to stop the evil team. After fighting their way through to the center of the hideout, finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, the player encounters Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}, who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]], where they challenge Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. After this a pillar of light appears on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. Steven notices the player coming out of the Gym and invites them to his house, where he gives them the {{HM|07|Dive}} and the Devon Scuba Gear. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player finds Maxie{{sup/6|OR}}/Archie{{sup/6|AS}} taunting the opposite version's team leader, who then challenges the player to a battle. After the battle, the player witnesses [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} arrive and warn their leader against waking up the Legendary Pokémon, but the leader dismisses the warnings and uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon breaks out of the cavern and starts moving towards [[Sootopolis City]], driving the weather of Hoenn out of control. The opposite team's leader explains that they are unable to control Pokémon's Primal Reversion, and the primary evil team leader discovers to his horror that his plan did not work as he intended.

After the bosses leave to try to stop the Pokémon, Steven appears and tells the player to catch up with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} in [[Sootopolis City]]. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]].

Upon arriving in front of the cave's entrance, Steven, Wallace and the player meet up with the leaders and admin Tabitha/Shelly of both teams, along with Brendan or May, who explains what they saw on TV. The player receives the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} and is told that the Orb they possess can weaken the ancient Pokémon. After a few words of encouragement from everyone, the player heads inside. The player puts the suit on, inserts the orb into a slot in the suit and latches on to Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} as the ancient Pokémon makes its way to the chamber where it can accomplish its Primal Reversion. The player witnesses it undergo the transformation and fights it. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather (seemingly) returns to normal. The team leaders reconcile, Steven gives the player the Eon Flute and Brendan/May explains how he/she is impressed with the player.

After defeating [[Wallace]] at the [[Sootopolis Gym]], the player gets the {{Badge|Rain}}, and the gym leader mentions that Prof. Birch has something for them. At Littleroot Town, the player is told that the recent events did change the climate in the Hoenn region, causing the Pokémon species that once left Hoenn to come back, and the regional Pokédex is not sufficient anymore, and gets the National Pokédex upgrade. The player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the Elite Four await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have all eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and [[Drake]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and Brendan/May arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll as the player and Brendan/May return home. After the credits, on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} challenges, Brendan or May challenges the player to a battle one last time.

Back at home, the player's parents are discussing their plans to go see the [[Litleonids]] at [[Mossdeep City]], that [[Norman]] now has to cancel. As the parents ponder about what they can do with the tickets they bought, a mysterious symbol appears on screen, which then fades into a "To be continued" chyron.

{{main|Delta Episode}}
Upon loading the saved game, the story continues with the Delta Episode. The episode revolves around a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that is on course for collision with the planet and a newly developed character, Zinnia.

After completing the Delta Episode, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the [[S.S. Ticket]] to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the [[Battle Resort]], and the player unlocks the [[Hoenn League]]'s rematch teams.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics and visuals added from later games===
The following elements from [[Generation VI]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers, Gym Leaders, and NPCs. The battle locations and interiors of buildings are also in 3D.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s were added, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]] were added.
* [[Horde Encounter]]s were added.
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] were added, replacing the [[Battle Tower]].
* Stereoscopic 3D is incorporated, and in the same manner as in X and Y.
* There are 100 [[TM]]s, as opposed to 50 TMs in Ruby and Sapphire. The TM list from X and Y is used, with the exception of [[TM94]] ({{m|Rock Smash}}{{sup/6|XY}}/{{m|Secret Power}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}), to reflect the fact that Rock Smash is an HM once again.
* The [[Exp. Share]] is now a [[Key Item]] that shares [[experience]] with all Pokémon in the party when activated. It is also obtained earlier, replacing the [[Great Ball]] given by the [[Devon Corporation]] employee in [[Petalburg Woods]] after the player rescues him from the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Team Magma}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}{{sup/6|AS}}.
* The addition of Trainers with the {{tc|Fairy Tale Girl}}, {{tc|Mysterious Sisters}}, {{tc|Brains & Brawn}}, and {{tc|Ace Duo}} Trainer classes.

The following elements from [[Generation V]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[TM]]s have been revamped, they can now be used an unlimited number of times, are more expensive, and can no longer be [[Held item|held]], [[trade]]d, or sold.
* Some Trainers now have the {{tc|Backpacker}} class.
* The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been removed, with the in-universe reason being that they closed down. Three [[Pokémon doll]]s can be obtained in its place.

The following elements from [[Generation IV]] are introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* 3D rendered areas for locations are used, replacing the 2D tile-sets and non animated sprites from {{v2|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* Physical and special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.
* [[Time]] visibly flows from day to night. This mechanic was introduced in [[Generation II]] but was absent from [[Generation III]].
* The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}}, for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of Evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
** [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
** [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
** [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a [[special magnetic field]] where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
*The Pokémon and item selection screens on the PC are redesigned to use the touchscreen, and show new stats.
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* If a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] faints, it will reappear after defeating the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM. As a result, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.

The following elements from later Generation III games have been added:
*Pokémon now have idle animations from both the front and back, instead of mostly staying still.
*e-Reader support has been removed.
*[[Move Tutor]]s were added.
*Items have icons in the PC.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] was introduced. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of Key Items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the [[Eon Flute]] to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and [[Mirage spot]]s found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===
====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat being more obvious, while May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs; Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been replaced by [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after defeating or capturing Groudon/Kyogre.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the long-grass section in each area.
* A few new areas are added to {{ho|Victory Road}} that did not exist in Generation III. This includes an area where the player can face [[Wally]] instead of the main area of 1F, where Wally was encountered in Generation III.

====Gameplay changes====
*The Delta Episode is introduced as new content.
* [[Secret Base]]s have been replaced by Super Secret Bases. Features of the new system include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* [[Mirage spot]]s are added as an apparent evolution of the {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars.
** The Beauty and Smart conditions have been renamed to {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} and {{OBP|Clever|condition}}, respectively.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The [[sheen]] stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their [[Contest condition|condition stats]] maxed out.
** {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Contest Ribbons}} are only awarded to Pokémon who have won in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]].
** [[Wallace]], as well as two new Contest-exclusive characters—[[Lisia]] and {{ga|Chaz}}— appear as special contestants.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
* Similar to Emerald's {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, [[Battle Point]]s can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
** Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after the Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]].
* Trainers that turn in place can now spot the player when they are turning if the player is directly north, south, east, or west of the Trainer.
*[[Mr. Briney]]'s boat is now capable of traveling between {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and {{rt|109|Hoenn}} without having to stop at [[Dewford Town]] first. Additionally if the player travels through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] to reach the other side, Mr. Briney would be found at that location allowing the player to use his boat without having to backtrack to the previous location.
**Because of the change on how the boat operates, {{rt|105|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} will not be counted as seen until the player returns there later after acquiring {{m|Surf}}.
* [[Trend|Trendy phrases]] set in [[Dewford Town]] are constructed differently. Since the [[easy chat system]] was removed, the player constructs a trendy phrase by selecting an item from the Items or Medicine Pockets along with one of ten possible words.

====Story====
* Many characters' roles in the story are significantly elaborated upon, most notably Steven, Wallace, Team Aqua & Team Magma, and Wally.
** {{Steven}}'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Team Aqua & Team Magma's goals are slightly different: Team Aqua wishes to revert the Earth to its prehistoric state in order to restore the Pokémon habitats lost to human advancement, while Team Magma wishes to provide humanity with more habitable land as a means of accelerating human innovation.
*** Further, the admins now have extended personalities.
*** In addition, the opposite team, rather than acting as an ally, simply opposes their counterparts, even distrusting the player as to warn them not to interfere with their own goals.
** In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed, as revealed after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}.
** May/Brendan, when not chosen, has an extended personality and bigger role in the storyline, even teaming with the player against Team Magma/Aqua at Meteor Falls, and seeing the player after Groudon/Kyogre is awakened.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating [[Brawly]], as a line of NPCs will block the path.
* Relating to Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}:
** Team Magma/Aqua now steals the [[Red Orb|Red]]/[[Blue Orb]] instead of the opposite one, to align with the new [[Primal Reversion]] mechanic and its place in the plot.
** [[Tabitha]] is now the Team Magma counterpart to Team Aqua's [[Shelly]], and [[Courtney]] is [[Matt]]'s counterpart, instead of the Admins of the same sex being counterparts.
** Instead of Team Magma/Aqua leaving [[Meteor Falls]] once they are found, Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}} or Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} and a Grunt instead challenge the player to a [[Multi Battle]] with {{ga|May}} or {{ga|Brendan}}.
** The motivation behind Team Magma/Aqua's visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] and [[Weather Institute]] is changed.
** During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}} or Matt{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader can escape.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a brief side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]].
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}} or Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The [[New Mauville]] sidequest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon or Kyogre event.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the [[Delta Episode]]. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role in this quest.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly in the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this, it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}} (though he does give the player {{TM|23|Smack Down}} for helping him at Meteor Falls). TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]].
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven to correct the situation, including a Multi Battle at the end.
*** Unlike the Multi Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} are Courtney and a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, instead of [[Maxie]] and Tabitha.
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}} or Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The optional sidequest where the player accompanies the team leaders returning the orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] and the team leaders apologizing for their actions has been omitted. They instead apologize at [[Sootopolis City]] when they give the player the Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}}.
* Certain Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can be found outside their Gyms interacting with the world after the player has beaten the game.
* The battle against May or Brendan as the players' rival at [[Lilycove City]] is no longer optional.
* Brendan/May challenges the player to one final battle at {{rt|103|Hoenn}} immediately following the credits.

====Battles====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
** The {{p|Roselia}} of {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Lydia from {{rt|117|Hoenn}} is now a {{p|Budew}} in her first battle.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* A {{p|Slugma}} replaces {{p|Numel}} in May or Brendan's lineup if the player chose {{p|Treecko}} as their first partner Pokémon. Conversely, a Numel replaces one of [[Flannery]]’s Slugma in her Gym battle.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* In Generation III the female administrators of Team Magma/Team Aqua, Courtney/Shelly were fought in the [[Seafloor Cavern]] before facing the team leader. This has been omitted in Generation VI, and as a result the player does not face against any administrators in this location.
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their first partner Pokémon can Mega Evolve.
* The Trainers within the {{ho|Victory Road}} now have Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] on their teams instead of just using Pokémon native to Hoenn.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* [[Wally]]'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* Wally is given an exclusive battle theme, a rock remix of his leitmotif, rather than using the standard trainer battle theme.
* Archie's {{p|Sharpedo}}, Maxie's {{p|Camerupt}}, and Steven's {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild. The Pokémon in the {{safari|Hoenn}} have also changed significantly.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime or in the tiles adjacent to the lone rock in the river's southernmost curve (slightly north of the large field of long grass) during the nighttime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* {{p|Deoxys}} is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode, making this the first time where a [[Mythical Pokémon]] has been legitimately available without the use of promotional events. It can also change its [[Form]]e freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallarbor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its Forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* {{Shiny}} variants of Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and Deoxys are now impossible to encounter in the wild; they can still be legitimately obtained if they are caught in Generations III or IV and transferred to Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire.
* The [[catch rate]]s of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] are altered:
** The catch rates of Kyogre, Groudon, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, and Zekrom were reduced to 3.
** The catch rate of Rayquaza was raised from 3 to 45.
* {{p|Spiritomb}} may be encountered through a special method in [[Sea Mauville]].
* Like in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] will give the player their choice of a [[Johto first partner Pokémon]]. He'll do this on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after the player first enters the Hall of Fame and talks to [[Zinnia]].
** After obtaining the Johto first partner Pokémon and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] first partner Pokémon, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] first partner Pokémon if the player enters the Hall of Fame once more.
* Upon defeating or capturing {{p|Kyogre}}/{{p|Groudon}}, many Pokémon not available in [[Generation III]] become available as [[hidden Pokémon]].
* After defeating or capturing Kyogre/Groudon, the elderly woman in [[Lavaridge Town]] who could give the player a {{p|Wynaut}} Egg now gives out a second Pokémon Egg which contains a {{p|Togepi}}.

*As in the original, while only one of {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}} roam the region in each game, the other one can be found on [[Southern Island]] with the [[Eon Ticket]].

==Compatibility==
Like Pokémon X and Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire can connect with the [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Poké Transporter]], and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. They are mostly compatible with {{g|X and Y}}, with the exception of alternate forms, Mega Evolutions, moves, or Abilities introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which cannot be traded to or used in battle with X and Y.

==Localization changes==
* In the Japanese and Korean versions, {{ho|Mom}} says that she and [[Norman]] saw the [[Litleonids]] when they last passed by 12 years ago. However, this was changed to 11 years ago in the English and other language versions.
*: ''"The [[Litleonids]], hmm? I remember going to see them with your dad 11 years ago when they last passed by!"''
* {{tc|Street Thug}} Hannibal, found on {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, is 54 years old: ''"I’ve been alive for 54 years!"'' In the French version only, he first claims to be 50 years old and then corrects it to 54: ''"Je viens d’avoir 50 ans. Bon, en fait, 54 ans…"''
* {{tc|Beauty}} Bunnie, found in the [[Battle Maison]], pretends to be an adult woman, but she is 7 years old in the English, Japanese, and Korean versions, 13 years old in the German and Italian versions, or 15 years old in the Spanish version. Conversely, she is 45 years old in the French version, where she is pretending to be younger instead.
*: Before battle: ''"Hey there, Trainer! Do you think I’m a grown-up?"''
*: After winning: ''"Tee hee... I won because I’m a grown-up!"''
*: After losing: ''"Tee hee! My mom did my makeup! I’m actually only seven years old!"''

===Localization changes shared by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire===
{{main|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|section=Localization changes shared by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}

===Localization changes inherited from other games===
* In the Japanese versions of [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X, Y]], Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, a music box version of the "Happy Birthday to You" music theme plays the first time when the player enters a [[Pokémon Center]] in their current [[birthday]]. This music theme starts playing during the cutscene when the [[Pokémon Center lady]] says happy birthday to the player, and keeps playing after the cutscene is over. In subsequent visits during the current birthday, this music theme is replaced by "[[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection|Happy Birthday from the Pokémon Center!]]", a rendition of the regular "Pokémon Center" theme in a music box style as well.
** In international versions, "Happy Birthday to You" is not heard. Instead, "Happy Birthday from the Pokémon Center!" plays in all visits during the player's birthday.

==Reception==
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hold a rating of 83%<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/pokemon-omega-ruby Pokémon Omega Ruby for 3DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref> and 82%,<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/pokemon-alpha-sapphire Pokémon Alpha Sapphire for 3DS Reviews - Metacritic]</ref> respectively, on {{wp|Metacritic}}. {{wp|IGN}} rated the games a "Good" 7.8/10,<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/18/pokemon-alpha-sapphire-and-omega-ruby-review Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - IGN]</ref> 1.2 points fewer than Pokémon X and Y, criticizing the excessive amount of water and [[HM]]s. This reasoning was {{n|Gotta Meme 'em All: 7.8/10 Too Much Water|quickly mocked by fans}} due to these issues' presence in the original games apparently being overlooked. Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire a score of 37 out of 40,<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-111714-pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire/ Famitsu review scores (11/17/14) - Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire - Nintendo Everything]</ref> scoring two points fewer than X and Y and three points more than Ruby and Sapphire. {{wp|Nintendo Life}} gave the games a score of 9 out of 10<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphire Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - Nintendo Life]</ref> and {{wp|Eurogamer}} gave them a 8/10 noting that "It's the closest many of us will likely get to genuinely exploring unknown territory".<ref>[https://www.eurogamer.net/pokemon-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-review Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby Review - Eurogamer]</ref>

==Trivia==
* The games were named by [[Masafumi Nukita]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of both the Japanese release of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and when ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' first aired on Japan.
* These are the first pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** No HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games are included.
** No new player characters are introduced.
** Nearly all Pokémon not in the original games use recycled [[Pokédex]] descriptions (from [[Pokémon X and Y]]) instead of receiving brand new ones, with the only exception being {{p|Hoopa}}.
** The events of the game do not run concurrently with the events of the main installment in the generation, instead, being implied to run around the same time as the original Ruby and Sapphire, while [[Pokémon X and Y]] takes place around the same time as {{B2W2}}.
** Pokémon originating from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the original games}} can be transferred to the remakes.
** There is no bundle containing a compatible accessory.
* These are the only pair of [[remake]]s in which:
** All methods of Evolutions that were introduced after the original games are possible:
*** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve based on time}} cannot evolve because there is no [[time]] of day clock.
*** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by training in a certain location}} cannot evolve because none of those areas are in those games.
*** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] which only supports the first 151 Pokémon along with {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, held items are not supported and [[Friendship]]-induced Evolutions do not trigger ({{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}} had its Evolution method changed to account for this).
*** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], despite {{p|Eevee}} being able to reach high levels of [[Friendship]] (which has been amalgamated with [[Affection]] since Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!) and learn a Fairy-type move, its Evolution into {{p|Sylveon}} does not trigger.
*** By extension, this is the only pair of remakes where all of the Evolutions of Eevee that existed at the time are obtainable without [[trading]].
** Certain Pokémon that were in the original games received entirely new [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] ({{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}).
** The in-game appearances of obtainable Pokémon are recycled from the generation's main pair of games.
** New held items that were not in the generation's main pair of games were introduced.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire both feature the game's corresponding colored orb.
* These are the only Pokémon games where the National Pokédex can be unlocked before entering the Hall of Fame without external trading. {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} technically were the first games to feature an unlockable National Pokédex prior to entering the Hall of Fame, but required trading from another [[Generation III]] Pokémon game.
* These are the first games to feature Hoenn in Korean, as the Generation III games were never translated into Korean.
* With the exception of Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza, Pokémon from the original games recycle their Pokédex descriptions from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* The ace Pokémon of the three new characters introduced within these remakes ([[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]]), are all part {{type|Dragon}}.
* These are the last [[core series]] games to date to feature Pokédex entries for all existing Pokémon at the time.
** Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon still allowed Pokémon outside of those usually obtainable to be transferred into the game; however, they lack Pokédex entries and numbers.
** Starting from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], games no longer include all existing Pokémon in their code.
*** While the [[National Pokédex]] makes a return in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it remains faithful to the original games, only listing the 493 species from the first four generations.
* These are the only core series games since the start of [[Pokémon Presents|Pokémon-themed video presentations]] to not be first revealed in such a presentation.
* These are the only Pokémon games not set in the Kalos region to introduce new Mega Evolutions.

[[File:2020 Legendary Pokemon Gen II.jpg|250px|thumb|Promotional art of Lugia and Ho-Oh for [[The Crown Tundra]] by [[Nejita]]<ref name=CrownTundraWallpaper>[https://archive.is/Gsx7e The poke_times account confirming Nejita drew the Lugia & Ho-Oh wallpaper for The Crown Tundra.]</ref>]]
The '''Tower duo''' is the [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|duo]]<ref>''"Legendary Pokémon Duo Lugia and Ho-Oh"'' - [https://press.pokemon.com/en/Legendary-Pokemon-Duo-Lugia-and-Ho-Oh-to-Star-in-Upcoming-Pokemon-Trad Wisdom of Sea and Sky] on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>''"Ho-Oh and Lugia are our final pair of Legendary Pokémon [...]"'' - "[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/one-last-chance-to-be-legendary One Last Chance to Be Legendary]" on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were [[Pokémon discovery|first discovered]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]].

==Overview==
Lugia, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, represents the sea, storms, and the color silver. Ho-Oh, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, represents the sky, rainbows, and the color gold. Both are also associated with their own [[Legendary trio]]s: Lugia is associated with the [[legendary birds]], while Ho-Oh is associated with the [[Legendary beasts]].

The relationship between Ho-Oh and Lugia can be seen as a symbol of duality, reflecting contrast and coexistence, a motif explored more deeply in [[Generation V#Unova thematic motif|a later generation]]. The duo is said to represent the sun and moon, day and night, light and shadow, the sky and the depths of the sea, the above and the below.<ref>Nintendo DREAM vol.187 (November 2009 issue).</ref>

==History and myths==
The legend of the Tower duo is introduced in [[Generation II]]. The legend was also expanded in both the remakes and the {{pkmn|animation|animated}} shorts ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' and ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. About 700 years before the events of Generation II, the people of [[Ecruteak City]] built two nine-tier towers, hoping to foster both friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. The two towers were known as the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] and [[Bell Tower]]. The west tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while in the east tower, the Pokémon chose to stop and rest there. Both towers were also the homes of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia resides in Brass Tower and Ho-Oh resides in the Bell Tower. For a time, there was peace and a close bond between the people and the Tower duo.

However, about 550 years later, a tragedy happened one night under the moon. Lugia's slumber was disturbed by a lightning storm that struck the Brass Tower with a powerful lightning bolt, engulfing it in flames for three days. Lugia attempted to use the winds to stop the flame, but this action put Ecruteak City in grave danger. Because of this, Lugia instead chose to call upon rain to put out the fire.

However, it was too late to save the Brass Tower, as it burned to the ground due to the damage. During this tragic event, three nameless Pokémon were tragically killed in the fire, much to the despair of the people. Fortunately, Ho-Oh descended from the sky and used its power to revive them. The Pokémon were reborn as {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. While this filled the people with awe, it also led to them fearing Ho-Oh due to its power to manipulate life. Ho-Oh and the Legendary beasts fled due to the violence of the people who feared Ho-Oh's power.

In despair of the destruction of the Brass Tower, Lugia flew away and chose to live in the ocean's depths. Lugia eventually settled at the [[Whirl Islands]]. According to the island's legend, at some point, the two countries fought each other over the island. In great anger, Lugia unleashed several lightning bolts to split the island into four separate islands. Lugia then dove into the deep end of the waterfall basin, disappearing in the process.

The Tower duo was never seen again after the fire and violence of the humans. The Brass Tower was never repaired, left as a reminder of what can be lost and regained, becoming what is now known as the Burned Tower. Two legends reveal when Lugia and Ho-Oh will return to Ecruteak City. When a Trainer who can touch the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|souls}} of Pokémon appears, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens to the Bell Tower. Lugia is said to return only when a human with a pure {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|heart}} appears before Lugia and that the invisible trust between people and Pokémon returns.

In {{aniseries|GS}}, there is a similar legend to the two towers. In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] claimed that the two towers are the original [[Tin Tower]], which burned down, and a rebuilt one. According to that legend, invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh. This invasion failed as Ho-Oh resisted and flew away. In retaliation, the invaders burned down the Tin Tower. However, in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the story follows the game version, though retains the war aspect.

==In the core series games==

====Past====
Ho-Oh and Lugia were at one point captured by the [[Masked Man]], Ho-Oh was once used to kidnap six children: [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]], [[Will]], {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}}. He had plucked a Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing from them, but the items were stolen by Green who had escaped with Silver. Sometime after he had lost control of the two, where they escaped and flew to different locations.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Ho-Oh first appeared as a silhouette in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', which shows a flashback of Green's capture, said event caused her to fear of bird Pokémon. It appeared again as a silhouette in ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', when Green was explaining to {{adv|Bill}} that she believes the [[Elite Four]] were the ones who controlled it to capture her.

Lugia had stayed dormant at [[Cerise Island]], until the [[Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four]] summoned it with Badge Amplifier in an attempt to exterminate humans. It appeared before them in the form of a spirit in ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]''. After Lance's defeat it flew to the [[Johto|west]]. The Diving Pokémon had returned to the [[Whirl Islands]], before causing havoc around the [[S.S. Aqua]] in ''[[PS145|Sandslash Surprise]]'', where it was properly identified as Lugia. Soon enough the Johto Dex Holders meet each other, where they make a plan to capture it in ''[[PS146|Lively Lugia (Part 1)]]'',''[[PS147|II]]'' and ''[[PS148|III]]''. They managed to weaken it but as it was about to be caught in {{adv|Crystal}}'s Poké Ball, the Masked Man had quickly thrown his own Poké Ball capturing it.

The Masked Man then attacked the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]], ultimately capturing the Rainbow Pokémon. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under the Masked Man's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction. They were then lent to [[Karen]] and [[Will]] to fight Green at [[Ilex Forest]]. They nearly defeated her [[legendary birds]], but all the trainers' Pokémon from both Johto and Kanto were sent there with the use of the [[Pokémon Storage System]], with the combined strength of all the Pokémon the two were freed from the Masked Man's control and flew off to parts unknown.

The '''Tower duo''' is the [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|duo]]<ref>''"Legendary Pokémon Duo Lugia and Ho-Oh"'' - [https://press.pokemon.com/en/Legendary-Pokemon-Duo-Lugia-and-Ho-Oh-to-Star-in-Upcoming-Pokemon-Trad Wisdom of Sea and Sky] on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref><ref>''"Ho-Oh and Lugia are our final pair of Legendary Pokémon [...]"'' - "[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/one-last-chance-to-be-legendary One Last Chance to Be Legendary]" on [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. They were [[Pokémon discovery|first discovered]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]].

==Overview==
Lugia, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon SoulSilver}}, represents the sea, storms, and the color silver. Ho-Oh, the mascot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|Pokémon HeartGold}}, represents the sky, rainbows, and the color gold. Both are also associated with their own [[Legendary trio]]s: Lugia is associated with the [[legendary birds]], while Ho-Oh is associated with the [[Legendary beasts]].

The relationship between Ho-Oh and Lugia can be seen as a symbol of duality, reflecting opposition and coexistence, a motif that is explored more deeply in [[Generation V#Unova thematic motif|a later generation]]. The duo is said to represent the sun and moon, day and night, light and shadow, the sky and the depths of the sea, the above and the below.<ref>Nintendo DREAM vol.187 (November 2009 issue).</ref>

==History and myths==
The legend of the Tower duo is introduced in [[Generation II]]. The legend was also expanded in both the remakes and the {{pkmn|animation|animated}} shorts ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' and ''[[PE07|The Show]]''. About 700 years before the events of Generation II, the people of [[Ecruteak City]] built two nine-tier towers, hoping to foster both friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. The two towers were known as the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] and [[Bell Tower]]. The west tower was said to awaken Pokémon, while in the east tower, the Pokémon chose to stop and rest there. Both towers were also the homes of Lugia and Ho-Oh. Lugia resides in Brass Tower and Ho-Oh resides in the Bell Tower. For a time, there was peace and a close bond between the people and the Tower duo.

However, about 550 years later, a tragedy happened one night under the moon. Lugia's slumber was disturbed by a lightning storm that struck the Brass Tower with a powerful lightning bolt, engulfing it in flames for three days. Lugia attempted to use the winds to stop the flame, but this action put Ecruteak City in grave danger. Because of this, Lugia instead chose to call upon rain to put out the fire.

However, it was too late to save the Brass Tower, as it burned to the ground due to the damage. During this tragic event, three nameless Pokémon were tragically killed in the fire, much to the despair of the people. Fortunately, Ho-Oh descended from the sky and used its power to revive them. The Pokémon were reborn as {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. While this filled the people with awe, it also led to them fearing Ho-Oh due to its power to manipulate life. Ho-Oh and the Legendary beasts fled due to the violence of the people who feared Ho-Oh's power.

In despair of the destruction of the Brass Tower, Lugia flew away and chose to live in the ocean's depths. Lugia eventually settled at the [[Whirl Islands]]. According to the island's legend, at some point, the two countries fought each other over the island. In great anger, Lugia unleashed several lightning bolts to split the island into four separate islands. Lugia then dove into the deep end of the waterfall basin, disappearing in the process.

The Tower duo was never seen again after the fire and violence of the humans. The Brass Tower was never repaired, left as a reminder of what can be lost and regained, becoming what is now known as the Burned Tower. Two legends reveal when Lugia and Ho-Oh will return to Ecruteak City. When a Trainer who can touch the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|souls}} of Pokémon appears, Ho-Oh will return from the heavens to the Bell Tower. Lugia is said to return only when a human with a pure {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|heart}} appears before Lugia and that the invisible trust between people and Pokémon returns.

In {{aniseries|GS}}, there is a similar legend to the two towers. In ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'', [[Morty]] claimed that the two towers are the original [[Tin Tower]], which burned down, and a rebuilt one. According to that legend, invaders came and tried to steal Ho-Oh. This invasion failed as Ho-Oh resisted and flew away. In retaliation, the invaders burned down the Tin Tower. However, in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the story follows the game version, though retains the war aspect.

In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Lugia can be called with a Ranger Sign to allow the player to battle it again on the [[Eastern Sea]]. Ho-Oh can be called to battle again on [[Rainbow Dais]] with a Ranger Sign once the player completes the storyline.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
Both Lugia and Ho-Oh appear in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], forming [[sync pair]]s with the following Trainers:

{{main|Tower duo (Adventures)}}
====Past====
Ho-Oh and Lugia were at one point captured by the [[Masked Man]], Ho-Oh was once used to kidnap six children: [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]], [[Will]], {{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Silver}}. He had plucked a Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing from them, but the items were stolen by Green who had escaped with Silver. Sometime after he had lost control of the two, where they escaped and flew to different locations.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Ho-Oh first appeared as a silhouette in ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', which shows a flashback of Green's capture, said event caused her to fear of bird Pokémon. It appeared again as a silhouette in ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', when Green was explaining to {{adv|Bill}} that she believes the [[Elite Four]] were the ones who controlled it to capture her.

Lugia had stayed dormant at [[Cerise Island]], until the [[Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four]] summoned it with Badge Amplifier in an attempt to exterminate humans. It appeared before them in the form of a spirit in ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]''. After Lance's defeat it flew to the [[Johto|west]]. The Diving Pokémon had returned to the [[Whirl Islands]], before causing havoc around the [[S.S. Aqua]] in ''[[PS145|Sandslash Surprise]]'', where it was properly identified as Lugia. Soon enough the Johto Dex Holders meet each other, where they make a plan to capture it in ''[[PS146|Lively Lugia (Part 1)]]'',''[[PS147|II]]'' and ''[[PS148|III]]''. They managed to weaken it but as it was about to be caught in {{adv|Crystal}}'s Poké Ball, the Masked Man had quickly thrown his own Poké Ball capturing it.

The Masked Man then attacked the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]], ultimately capturing the Rainbow Pokémon. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under the Masked Man's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction. They were then lent to [[Karen]] and [[Will]] to fight Green at [[Ilex Forest]]. They nearly defeated her [[legendary birds]], but all the trainers' Pokémon from both Johto and Kanto were sent there with the use of the [[Pokémon Storage System]], with the combined strength of all the Pokémon the two were freed from the Masked Man's control and flew off to parts unknown.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Ho-Oh and Lugia were briefly seen when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the past accomplishments of the [[Pokédex holder]]s.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Ho-Oh appeared in ''[[PM090|The Legendary Ho-oh!!]]'' and [[PMHGSS02]]. While Lugia appeared in ''[[PM071|Clefairy Rangers to the Rescue!!]]'' and ''[[PM094|Take me to the Dragon Palace!]]''.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
Ho-Oh appeared in [[GDZ65]]. [[Shu]] captured Lugia once, but released it in order to let it continue protecting the ocean.

==Trivia==
*Despite the name being consistently used for {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}, this pair of Pokémon has also occassionally been referred to as '''legendary birds''' in early casual material like magazines<ref>''"Q: Are Lugia and Ho-Oh both in Gold and Silver? I want them both! A: The two '''legendary birds''' are in both games. The question is, can you catch a Level-70 '''legendary bird'''? It's not that easy."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #138, page 79</ref><ref>''"How do I catch Lugia and Ho-Oh? You can't see the '''Legendary Birds''' until you have the magical object related to each—The Silver Wing in Lugia's case, the Rainbow Wing in Ho-Oh's."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #140, page 80</ref> and game guides<ref>''"The '''Legendary Bird''', Ho-Oh, is on the Tower's roof."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 40; ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 45</ref>.

{{search|communication technology used in the Pokémon world|other uses|Radio (disambiguation)}}
----
'''Radio''' refers to technology used to send and receive {{wp|radio wave|radio signals}}. Radio programs are known to be broadcast in the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. Most radio stations are hosted by [[DJ]]s and are broadcast by the Johto Radio Broadcasting Network from [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] or by the Kanto Radio Broadcasting Network from the [[Pokémon Tower#Differences among generations|Radio Station]] in Kanto.

==In the core series games==
Radio functionality is included in the [[Pokégear]], which is featured in the Johto-based games {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

===Lucky Number Show{{anchor|Lucky Channel}}===
The '''Lucky Number Show''' (Japanese: '''ラッキーナンバーキャンペーン''' ''Lucky Number Campaign'') is a radio program hosted by {{DL|DJ|Reed}} on the '''Lucky Channel''' (Japanese: '''ラッキーチャンネル''' ''Lucky Channel'') from the Goldenrod Radio Tower in [[Goldenrod City]] in Generation II.

The station broadcasts in Johto on channel 8.5. The channel broadcasts a random [[Original Trainer|OT]] [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] which changes every {{DL|Days of the week|Friday}}. During the week, the player can visit the Radio Tower and talk to a man on the first floor. If any of the player's Pokémon in the [[party]] or in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] have an OT ID that in whole or in part matches the ID number for the week, they will receive a prize. The player may only receive a prize once per week, even if they have multiple Pokémon with winning IDs. The lucky numbers for the week are randomly generated the first time the player speaks with the man on the first floor of the Radio Tower.

The possible prizes are:
{{Itlisth|building}}
{{itemlist|PP Up|Trainer ID matched last two digits only|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{itemlist|Exp. Share|Trainer ID matched last three or four digits only|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{itemlist|Master Ball|Trainer ID matched exactly|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}
{{Itlistfoot|building}}

While the program is no longer broadcast in Generation IV, the [[Loto-ID|drawing itself]] remains on the Radio Tower's ground floor, changing daily, rather than weekly, and with the same prizes as the drawings in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Mysterious Transmission===
When the player is at the [[Ruins of Alph]], strange noises will play and there will be no reception from other stations.

In [[Generation II]], it can be heard on channel 13.5 and it doubles the encounter rate of wild Pokémon.

In [[Generation IV]], it also increases the chance of encountering an {{p|Unown}} form the player has not yet encountered, and sounds similar to the [[Azure Flute]]. It can be heard if the radio is tuned to somewhere in the center.

===Poké Flute===
The station plays [[Poké Flute]] music that is used to awaken {{p|Snorlax}}. It requires the [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] upgrade.

In Generation II, it can be heard on channel 20.0. In Generation IV, it only plays in the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]]. It can be heard if the radio is tuned near the top, above stations 1 and 2.

===Pokédex Show===
The '''Pokédex Show''' (Japanese: '''よくわかる　ポケモンずかん''' ''The Pokédex Made Simple'') is a radio show available in Johto in Generation II. It operates on radio frequency 4.5 from 4 AM to 10 AM each day. All the other times, [[#Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] is broadcasted on that frequency. This show is not hosted by any known DJ. The Pokédex Show randomly broadcasts Pokédex descriptions out of the Pokémon that the player has caught and stored in the Pokédex.

===Pokémon Music===
The '''Pokémon Music Channel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミュージックチャンネル''' ''Pokémon Music Channel'') broadcasts different pieces of music on different [[days of the week]], each with different effects. In Pokémon Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] is required to listen to the Kanto station.

In Generation II, the program differs between Johto and Kanto. In Johto, the program is known as '''Pokémon Music''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンミュージック''' ''Pokémon Music''), and is hosted by DJ {{DL|DJ|Ben}} on channel 7.5. In Kanto, the program is known as '''Pokémusic''' (Japanese: '''ポケミュージック''' ''Pokémusic'') or '''Let's All Sing!''' (Japanese: '''みんなで　うたおう！''' ''Let's Sing, Everybody!''), and is hosted by DJ {{DL|DJ|Fern}} on channel 18.5.

In Generation IV, the program is hosted by {{DL|DJ|Ben}} in both Kanto and Johto on station 1 (top-left).

|}{{-}}
====Pokémon March====
*In Generation II: The song plays on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. It doubles the encounter rate, effectively being a stronger [[White Flute]].
*In Generation IV: The song plays on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays pre-[[National Pokédex]], and only on Mondays and Fridays post-National Pokédex after receiving the [[GB Sounds]]. Instead of influencing encounter rate itself, it increases the ''movement rate'' of the formula by 25.
====Pokémon Lullaby====
*In Generation II: The song plays on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It halves the encounter rate, similarly to [[Black Flute]] in [[Generation III]] and IV.
*In Generation IV: The song plays on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays pre-National Pokédex, and only on Tuesdays and Saturdays post-National Pokédex. It acts opposite of Pokémon March, decreasing the value by 25 (however, if the player is just walking through [[tall grass]] or in a cave and has no other modifiers, this value {{wp|underflow}}s and is set by the game's code to the cap of 100).

====Pokémon Past Archive====
The Pokémon Past Archive is only accessible in Generation IV, after the player has acquired the National Pokédex. It has no function in the field, but like the [[GB Sounds]], it plays chiptunes from Generation II. It primarily plays music that the player cannot normally listen to with the GB Sounds (such as the game's opening and ending themes) as well as music that can be listened to with the GB Sounds but only play a handful of times throughout the game (such as [[Eusine]]'s Theme). It plays on Sundays after receiving the GB Sounds from the Game Freak employee.

===={{anchor|Hoenn Sound|Hoenn Sound}} and {{anchor|Sinnoh Sound|Sinnoh Sound}}====
The Hoenn Sound and Sinnoh Sound channels are also accessible only in Generation IV, post-National Pokédex. In order to successfully attract Pokémon, the music must be currently playing instead of the location music.
* Hoenn Sound plays a remixed version of the {{rt|101|Hoenn}} theme, which attracts certain wild [[Hoenn]] Pokémon. The song plays on Wednesdays. Attracted Pokémon have a 20% encounter rate each.
* Sinnoh Sound plays a remixed version of the {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} theme, which attracts certain wild [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon. The song plays on Thursdays. Attracted Pokémon have a 20% encounter rate each, except Shinx, which has a 40% encounter rate due to it being the only Sinnoh Pokémon to appear in its areas. Curiously, it attracts the Generation III Pokémon {{p|Meditite}}, although Meditite does also appear in Sinnoh.

===Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk{{anchor|Pokémon Talk}}===
'''Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk''' (Japanese: '''オーキドはかせの　ポケモンこうざ''' ''{{tt|Dr. Okido's|Prof. Oak's}} Pokémon Lecture'') is a radio show aired on the '''Pokémon Channel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンチャンネル''' ''Pokémon Channel''). It is hosted by [[Professor Oak]] and [[DJ Mary]]. The show talks about Pokémon and where they are found. At first, Professor Oak was going to turn down the offer of having his own radio show, but Mary's energy and enthusiasm convinced him to host it.

In Generation II, the show can be heard on channel 4.5, during the afternoons; in the mornings, the [[#Pokédex Show|Pokédex Show]] is broadcast instead. In Generation IV, the show can be heard all day on station 2 (top-right). After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], it also informs the listeners of [[mass outbreak]]s. This also includes the ones from Generation II that appeared in a swarm when a Trainer registered into the player's Pokégear contacted the player.

The following Pokémon may be found by listening to Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Radio Transmission===
A high-pitched screech plays over and over. It only plays in [[Mahogany Town]], {{rt|43|Johto}}, and [[Lake of Rage]] before the player has cleared the [[Team Rocket HQ]].

In Generation II, it can be heard on channel 20.5. In Generation IV, the broadcast causes interference that prevents the radio from tuning in to other stations.

===Team Rocket Announcement===
The announcement is played on all stations after [[Team Rocket]] succeeds in taking over the Goldenrod Radio Tower. A Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}} announces over the airwaves that they have rejoined, and pleads their boss, [[Giovanni]], to come out of hiding and rejoin them. It begins playing once the player had defeated the seventh [[Gym Leader]], and no longer plays after Team Rocket disbands.

===That Town, These People===
'''That Town, These People''' (Japanese: '''あのまちこのひと''' ''That Town, These People''), known as '''Places and People''' in Generation II, is a show that focuses on various towns or people.

In Generation II, it is broadcast from Kanto on channel 16.5, and is hosted by {{DL|DJ|Lily}}. In Pokémon Crystal, an [[Pokégear#Radio|EXPN Card]] is required to listen to the program on a Pokégear; however, players can listen to the show on radios in Kanto houses before then. The program pulls the name of a random {{pkmn|Trainer}} the {{player}} has fought, or a random location, and then applies a random quality from the list below to it.

* ''<Trainer>'' is actually great.
* ''<Trainer>'' is always happy.
* ''<Trainer>'' is cute.
* ''<Trainer>'' is definitely odd!
* ''<Trainer>'' is inspiring!
* ''<Trainer>'' is just my type.
* ''<Trainer>'' is just so-so.
* ''<Trainer>'' is kind of weird.
* ''<Trainer>'' is precocious.
* ''<Trainer>'' is quite noisy.
* ''<Trainer>'' is right for me?
* ''<Trainer>'' is so cool, no?
* ''<Trainer>'' is sort of OK.
* ''<Trainer>'' is sort of lazy.
* ''<Trainer>'' is somewhat bold.
* ''<Trainer>'' is too picky!

In Generation IV, the show is broadcast on the '''Town Channel''' (Japanese: '''まちかどチャンネル''' ''Street Corner Channel'') on station 3 (bottom-left). It features the top three parts of the towns and cities in both [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. It is broadcasted by an unknown announcer. It switches every hour with [[#Trainer Profiles|Trainer Profiles]].

====Buena's Password====
'''Buena's Password''' (Japanese: '''アオイのあいことば''' ''{{tt|Aoi|Buena}}'s Password'') is a quiz show held in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] by [[Buena]] that was first introduced in {{game|Crystal}}. In Generation II, the channel is broadcast on its own station, station 10.5. In Generation IV, it is part of the repertoire of the Variety Channel.

In order to play the quiz show, the player must listen to the Pokégear radio from 6 PM to midnight (in Generation IV, at 2 AM, 5 AM, 8 AM, 11 AM, 2 PM, 5 PM, 8 PM, and 11 PM). A secret password will be announced over the air, along with an invitation for listeners to come to the Goldenrod Radio Tower in [[Goldenrod City]]. The player is to go to the second floor and talk to Buena, the show's host. She will give the player three options; if the correct one is picked, one point is added to the player's [[Blue Card]]. Only one point can be earned per day; changing the DS time to a different day will not allow another point to be earned.

In Generation II, points must be spent to buy each prize; whereas in Generation IV, prizes are awarded when the player obtains a certain number of points. Players cannot have more than 30p on the Blue Card. If the player has 30p, they can speak to Buena to register her phone number in the [[Pokégear]] (points will not be spent). In Generation II, the player cannot earn points while their Blue Card has 30p (requiring points to be spent); whereas in Generation IV, the player will be issued a new Blue Card once the 30p limit is hit.

[[File:Buena's Password Golden Boys.png|thumb|200px|Buena's Password in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Radios first appeared in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]'' when {{adv|Gold}} was seen enjoying [[DJ Mary]] singing.

In ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]'', a wild {{TP|Blue|Rhydon}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Exeggutor}} were attracted by the sound of the Pokémon March being played by a [[Pokémon Association]] van's radio. {{adv|Blue}} used his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}} to defeat and catch the rampaging Pokémon. The Pokémon Association were impressed so much that they decided to appoint him as the new [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]].

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', a radio was playing as [[Mr. Briney]] slept, reporting a burglary at the [[Sea Cottage]].

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Buena's Password was featured briefly in ''[[GB15|Escape From The Mystery Forest!]]'', coming on {{GnB|Gold}}'s [[Pokégear]] radio as he was flipping channels while lost in a forest.

In the English translation by [[Chuang Yi]], [[Buena]] is called by her Japanese name, Aoi.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* According to one of [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Professor's assistant|aides]] at the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Lab]], Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk is prerecorded.
** This explains why the {{player}} can always find Oak in his lab and never at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], even when the show is airing.
* In the [[Generation II]] games:
** If the player listens to one of the radios in [[New Bark Town]] before receiving their [[first partner Pokémon]], shows will not play in full, instead ending immediately after their introduction.
** If the Lucky Channel is left playing, {{DL|DJ|Reed}} will occasionally say, "''...Repeating myself gets to be a drag...''"
* In {{v2|Crystal}}, during the takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower by [[Team Rocket]], their message is broadcast on the Buena's Password channel, even at times when the channel would normally be off the air.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}:
** The Town and Street Corner Channels have the same Japanese name.
** Before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], [[Days of the week|Sunday]] is the only day of the week on which the music that plays on the Pokémon Music Channel matches the Generation II games. On every other day, the music is swapped.
** The poster advertising the Lucky Channel in the lobby of the Goldenrod Radio Tower is still present, despite the channel only appearing in the Generation II games.
*** In the Japanese versions, the poster instead refers to '''だいこうひょうポケモンくじ''' ''The Great Pokémon Lottery'', as opposed to the original '''ラッキーチャンネル''' ''Lucky Channel''.
** After the player deactivates the generator in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], the radio in [[Mahogany Town]]'s souvenir shop will be playing a show called the Radio Miniseries, which is not mentioned anywhere else in the games. This may have been the original name of the Serial Radio Drama show.
** [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] Sound play on Wednesdays and Thursdays, respectively, which are considered the third and fourth days of the week in some parts of the world, as well in {{wp|ISO 8601|international standardization}}. This corresponds to Hoenn and Sinnoh's respective introductions in [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}.
** {{p|Meditite}} is the only Pokémon found via Hoenn or Sinnoh Sound that doesn't match its [[region]] of introduction, being a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} found via Sinnoh Sound. This may be due to its greater prevalence in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} than in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], one of Professor Oak's aides in the Oak Pokémon Research Lab mentions that Professor Oak will soon have his own radio show, a [[List of cross-generational references|reference]] to the Generation II games. In the localizations, he says that the show will be called Professor Oak's Pokémon ''Seminar'' rather than Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk.

'''Cottonee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンメン''' ''Monmen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Whimsicott}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].

==Biology==
Cottonee is a white, circular {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has white, puffy sections on the top of its head and its underside. Behind it is a green, star-shaped section similar to the area where a plant connects to its produce. It has orange, oval-shaped eyes, and furled, notched leaves on the sides of its body.

Cottonee is blown around by the wind because of its lightweight composition. The only circumstance in which it cannot be blown by the wind is when it has been soaked by rain, which weighs it down and makes it soggy. Afterwards, this Pokémon will stay under a tree until it dries, so that it may be blown by the wind again. [[BW029|During the mating season]], Cottonee blow in the wind in large groups. Its cotton can be used as a defensive mechanism; when threatened, it will expel cotton as a distraction so that it may escape. The lost cotton will grow back quickly. Cottonee's cotton is used to manufacture top-quality pillows and beds that are soft, puffy, light, and airy. When Cottonee's cotton is weaved together with {{p|Eldegoss}}'s cotton, it makes a cloth that is popular with many luxury brands.

===Evolution===
Cottonee evolves into {{p|Whimsicott}}.

==Trivia==
* Cottonee and its evolved form were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Cottonee and {{p|Petilil}} can be seen as counterparts. They both evolve once using a [[Sun Stone]] and share a base stat total of 280. Additionally, Cottonee is exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black 2|s 2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun}}, and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, while Petilil is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, Moon, and Ultra Moon. They also have similar movesets.
* Cottonee is the only Pokémon whose sprites are different between Pokémon Black & White and Pokémon Black 2 & White 2.
* Cottonee has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Cottonee is based on a ball of {{wp|cotton}} and a sheep;<ref name=ND204/> the connection appears to be made because both cotton and sheep produce clothing material. Its leaves may also allude to the {{wp|Stachys byzantina|lamb's ear}} plant, while the way it lets the wind move itself is similar to {{wp|Taraxacum|dandelion}} seeds and {{wp|cloud}}s.

====Name origin====
Cottonee may be derived from ''cotton'', ''cottony'', ''cottonweed'', and possibly ''wee'' (small).

Monmen may be derived from 木綿 ''momen'' (cotton).

Ultimate weapon

Fawfaw: /* Trivia */

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Ultimate Weapon.png|thumb|250px|The original machine used for resurrection before it was turned into the ultimate weapon]]
The '''ultimate weapon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|最終兵器|さいしゅうへいき}}''' ''ultimate weapon'') is a machine created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, located in [[Geosenge Town]]. It is featured heavily in those games and is referenced in both {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It has been referred to as "The Device That Grants Life" by [[Team Flare]].<ref>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 1: The Device]]: "''“The Device That Grants Life.” This device was created three thousand years in the past. It was originally designed to restore life to a Pokémon that had perished.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The machine resembles the Eternal Flower held by AZ's [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]], and it appears to be made of a crystalline material. The machine was powered by the life force of Pokémon, whose graves line {{rt|10|Kalos}}.<ref name=Celosia>[[Celosia]]: "''In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=AZ>[[AZ]]: "''The man made an ultimate weapon. Using it required the life force of many Pokémon… The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this. The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man's side. The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together…''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=MrStone1>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''Let me first take us back 3,000 years, to the days when this story began... There was a great war at that time, in a region far from here. That war was finally brought to an end by a weapon created by one man. And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon...''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=File2>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2: The Fuel]]: "''The “Device That Grants Life” in fact grants the deceased life stolen from other Pokémon. This is because the basic function of the device is to distill energy into its purest form, then emit that distilled energy.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This energy source was later used by the [[Devon Corporation]] and named [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''But my grandfather, the president of Devon before me, said this... "Couldn't we use the energy to improve the lives of people and Pokémon?" And so he developed our greatest creation here at the Devon Corporation: [[Infinity Energy]].''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=Devon>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''According to the report from the {{ci|Petalburg}} recon team, [[Devon Corporation]] holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon. We will dedicate all our resources to obtain this technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> The ultimate weapon also lead to the creation of [[Mega Power]] through the reborn Floette.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
[[File:Ultimate weapon ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|AZ activating the ultimate weapon]]
3,000 years prior the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the king of Kalos, [[AZ]], was forced to send his beloved {{TP|AZ|Floette}} to fight in the war of [[Kalos]], which ultimately led to its [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]]. Determined to bring Floette back no matter what it took, AZ built a machine to bring it back to life, powered by the life force of other Pokémon. The exposure to the power of the machine also granted both AZ and Floette immortality and made AZ a giant as a result. AZ still wanted revenge on those who had killed his beloved Pokémon, so he turned the machine into the ultimate weapon, which he used to end the great war by blasting both sides. The graves of the Pokémon sacrificed to power the ultimate weapon now line [[Kalos Route 10]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> When AZ's {{p|Floette}} realized that so many lives were lost merely to restore its own, it left AZ. The key to activate the weapon was taken by AZ as he left Kalos to wander aimlessly around the world, and the weapon itself was buried deep underground by AZ's brother in an attempt to prevent it from being used ever again.

[[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that [[Mega Stone]]s originate from special stones, potentially [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} (or both{{sup/9|ZA}}) that was fired from the ultimate weapon.

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Photo Spot Geosenge Town Weapon.png|thumb|left|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon X]]
[[File:Ultimate Weapon Y.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon Y]]
In the present day, [[Lysandre]], the boss of [[Team Flare]], aims to use the ultimate weapon to destroy all life—including {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—to create a more beautiful world. However, it could only be reactivated with the power of the [[Kalos Power Plant]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, and the key possessed by AZ.

To accomplish this lofty goal, Team Flare occupies the Kalos Power Plant and diverts enough electricity to the weapon to cause a blackout in [[Lumiose City]]. This electricity is used along with the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to reactivate the weapon, allowing it to surface once again. However, when the {{player}} {{pkmn2|Caught|catches}} Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}, it drains most of the energy from the weapon. After being defeated, Lysandre attempts to use what little power still remains to make the player and their friends immortal{{sup/6|X}}/destroy [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] and everyone inside{{sup/6|Y}}, but the heroes manage to escape before the HQ is hit. The weapon then blasts [[Geosenge Town]], heavily damaging itself, burying the HQ under the rubble, and leaving a huge crater in the center of the town.

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
While the machine does not appear in the games, it plays a significant role due to the research it inspired. Long before the events of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Mr. Stone]]'s grandfather, the former president of the [[Devon Corporation]], researched the ultimate weapon. Inspired by its abilities, he aimed to harness the same energy to help both people and Pokémon. This research ultimately led to the development of and discovery of [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2/><ref name=Devon/>

[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} also researched the ultimate weapon, resulting in [[Project AZOTH]].<ref>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''We intend to analyze the power of the ultimate weapon used in [[Kalos]] 3,000 years ago and work on the development of a drill weapon utilizing the technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> This project involves the [[Primal Reversion]] of {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} to restore the world to its original state. The ultimate goal of Team Magma is to expand the landmass, providing humanity with more space to build and develop civilization. In contrast, Team Aqua aims to eliminate human civilization and return the world to its original state, allowing Pokémon to live free from the impact of humanity's progress.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
In a [[Pokémon multiverse|different timeline]], Lysandre succeeded in launching the ultimate weapon, however he passed out and ended up in the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon timeline, where he joined [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] as one of its admins. He will then have the player push one of two buttons, one of which activates the ultimate weapon and one of which opens the path to [[Giovanni]]. The ultimate weapon is activated regardless of which button the player chooses, but after defeating Lysandre, the player can press the other button and deactivate the weapon, saving [[Alola]].

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Following the ultimate weapon being fired in {{g|X and Y}}, {{P|Zygarde}} appeared to protect all living creatures from the ultimate weapon's blast, including Lysandre, exhausting its own power as a result. After being saved, Lysandre, now an amnesiac vagrant known simply as "L", worked with Zygarde to help restore its powers. The ultimate weapon's activation also caused the device embedded into the [[Prism Tower]], [[Ange]], to be awakened, sensing danger from the weapon.

The machine is mentioned in [[Team Flare]]'s computer in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]], explaining how Team Flare planned to use it to reduce the population of the world. Information gathered by Team Flare regarding the ultimate weapon is found as well, and the weapon was also mentioned as the reason for the reactivation of Ange. In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Side Mission EX2]],Team Flare considered using Mewtwo to power up their ultimate weapon; however, since they were unable to Mega Evolve Mewtwo, "Project M" was scrapped. Mewtwo would remain in slumber at Lysandre Labs until the destruction of the Ange machine, plus [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] being brought by [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] near its presence.

=== Abilities ===
[[File:Ultimate weapon fired ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|The ultimate weapon being fired]]
The machine was powered up by Pokémon's life energy. Along with energy, the machine must be activated with a key.

Before being turned into a weapon, the unnamed revival device would use the energy of other Pokémon to resurrect the deceased, granting them eternal life in the process. This process involves absorbing the life force of other Pokémon through the use of the standing stones that line [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]] all the way to the ruins of [[Geosenge Town]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> These stones usually emit energy, but when the machine is activated, that reverses, causing them to instead absorb the energy of whatever is attached to them.<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> The machine's primary ability is to convert life energy into its purest form, completely distilling it.<ref name=File2/> This life energy can be emitted in various forms, such as convection, radiation, and conduction. The transformed life energy is then redirected back into the deceased, effectively resurrecting them from the dead and granting them eternal life.<ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "''This emission can take the form of convection, radiation, or conduction.Thus life can be conducted back into a Pokémon that had lost its own, allowing it to be revived.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It was used 3,000 years ago by [[AZ]] to ressurect his [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]].

[[Team Flare]] intended to reactivate the ultimate weapon using the energy from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} and the life force of Pokémon absorbed with the stones on [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]],<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: "''The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> firing a huge blast of power that flies up and falls back down into the {{Pkmn|world|planet}}. [[Lysandre Labs]] housed two buttons: a red and a blue one, one of them is for activating the ultimate weapon. [[Xerosic]] also had a remote capable of activating it. Additionally, [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket's Castle|Castle]] also housed two buttons, one for activating the ultimate weapon and one for stopping it. It was used 3000 years ago by AZ to put an end to the [[Kalos]] war and in [[Pokémon X and Y]] by [[Lysandre]] as part of [[Team Flare]]'s plan to try and reduce the number of living things and create a "more beautiful world". [[Mega Stone|Mega Stones]] also originated from certain stones, possibly [[Evolution stone|Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}} that was fired by the weapon 3,000 years ago. Even more Mega Stones were created when the weapon was fired again in the event of Pokémon X and Y. Mere exposure to the machine can extend a [[human]]'s lifespan beyond their natural life expectancy, allowing them to live up to 3,000 years, as observed with AZ and [[Lysandre|L]]. Exposure may also grant incredible height, up to 9 feet tall.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{g|Masters EX}}===
During the [[legendary event]] [[Give and Take]], {{mas|Lysandre}} attempts to have [[Team Flare]] use the ultimate weapon to destroy [[Pasio]], but the weapon is successfully defused by {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Volkner}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, and {{mas|Molayne}} before it can be fired.

===[[Pokémon Generations]]===
The machine was featured heavily in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'' through flashbacks. Its backstory was detailed, showing [[AZ]] building it to revive his lost [[AZ#Befriended 2|Floette]], granting himself immortality in the process. He was later seen converting it into a weapon to destroy both sides of the great war, finally bringing it to an end.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
The ultimate weapon appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', where [[Team Flare]] deployed it in [[Geosenge Town]]. Following {{ga|Calem}}'s victory over [[Lysandre]], the Team Flare Boss decided to use the remaining energy in the weapon to grant Calem, his friends, and himself eternal life, firing it. The weapon's blast crashed back down onto the weapon itself, causing it to sink back into the ground while Calem and his friends escaped from the blast.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ultimate weapon Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The ultimate weapon was sought after by Team Flare, who planned to unleash its power onto the Kalos region. The machine contained an Absorber (Japanese: '''{{tt|吸収盤|アブソーバ}}''' ''Absorber'') that can drain the life force of Pokémon to power the weapon.

Team Flare's plan consisted of capturing the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} so that they could drain their energy to power the machine. The two Legendary Pokémon appeared in [[Vaniville Town]] in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', where they battled each other and caused panic and destruction to the unsuspecting townspeople. Team Flare observed the destruction from afar, but [[Xerosic]] noted that they had no actual methods of capturing the two Pokémon. Eventually, the two Pokémon ended their battle and left to parts unknown. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}}. By using the captured Vaniville townspeople as mind-controlled slaves, Team Flare managed to take Xerneas to their base in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''. After hooking the tree to the Absorber, Lysandre began the process of absorbing Xerneas's life force.

[[File:Absorber Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|The Absorber in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', {{adv|X}} traveled to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop Team Flare's plan. After arriving at the ultimate weapon's control room, he battled Lysandre. X's attempt to stop the weapon from being activated ended in his defeat, but also caused Xerneas to awaken. When X's friends and a group of [[Gym Leader]]s arrived at Geosenge Town, they found the ultimate weapon emerging from underground. They attempted to keep the weapon from opening, but it still managed to fire on the Kalos region. Despite this, the combined efforts of X and his allies, as well as Xerneas absorbing back most of its power upon awakening, drained the weapon of enough power that no innocent lives were taken. As Team Flare went into hiding, they tried to use their influence over the media to make the public believe the Gym Leaders and the Vaniville Town children were responsible for the destruction caused by the weapon's blast, but this didn't fool everyone in Kalos.
[[File:Flower machine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The flower in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered that the stones on {{rt|10|Kalos}} were actually an ancient form of the Absorber used by [[AZ]] when he first used the ultimate weapon. Due to Xerneas destroying the Absorber when it awakened, he decided to use these Absorbers in place of the previous one. In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Team Flare gathered multiple Pokémon from the [[Pokémon Village]] to act as the power source, but they were defeated by [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] before enough energy could be gathered for a second attempt. The four then proceeded to destroy the stones so that the ultimate weapon could never be used again.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Two more Absorbers appeared under the possession of the [[Devon Corporation]]. The Absorbers are taken to [[Sea Mauville]], where [[Mr. Stone]] and [[Steven Stone]] used them to drain the life force of [[Chic|Sapphire's Blaziken]] and [[Emerald's Sceptile]] in their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] states in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', so that the energy could be used to power a device called the dimensional shifter that would warp away an incoming [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that threatened to destroy the planet.

A smaller, portable version of the Absorber was seen in [[PS611]] in video footage contained at an old [[Pokémon Association]] science facility. This machine, nicknamed the "flower" (Japanese: '''花''' ''flower''), was a small cannon-like device with a barrel that was shaped like the ultimate weapon. This device was used in an attempt to drain {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} of its life force in order to weaken and capture it for the Pokémon Association at the [[Embedded Tower]].

==Trivia==
* The "cannon" inside the weapon's petals has a different design depending on the version of the game: in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], it is a blue orb, while in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], it is a red spike.
** In the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode, ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', the ultimate weapon is depicted in its design from Pokémon Y, despite the [[Legendary Pokémon]] caught by {{ga|Calem}} being {{p|Xerneas}} instead of {{p|Yveltal}}.
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], a holographic screen in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]] depicts the ultimate weapon along with both of its "cannons". The blue orb is depicted next to Xerneas' tree and the red spike next to Yveltal's cocoon. This implies that both of them exist in either version of Pokémon X and Y, with the orb using Xerneas' power and the spike using Yveltal's.
* The ultimate weapon's ability to destroy lives is reflected by Yveltal, as both have the power to take. This is contrasted by [[Ange]] and Xerneas, which both have the power to give.
* [[Celosia]], [[AZ]], and [[Mr. Stone]] state that when the machine was powered, it was done so to fire (similar to what Lysandre does in [[Pokémon X and Y]]);<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/> however, the [[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2 entry]] at Lysandre Labs states that it was powered to revive [[AZ#Befriended|AZ's Floette]].<ref name=File2/> It is unclear whether this is a mistake or an implication that the device was fueled twice.
** During the climax of Pokémon X and Y, it is repeatedly stated that when AZ fired the ultimate weapon, he powered it with the life energy of other Pokémon, which caused his resurrected Floette to leave him.

[[File:Ultimate Weapon.png|thumb|250px|The original machine used for resurrection before it was turned into the ultimate weapon]]
The '''ultimate weapon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|最終兵器|さいしゅうへいき}}''' ''ultimate weapon'') is a machine created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, located in [[Geosenge Town]]. It is featured heavily in those games and is referenced in both {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It has been referred to as "The Device That Grants Life" by [[Team Flare]].<ref>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 1: The Device]]: "''“The Device That Grants Life.” This device was created three thousand years in the past. It was originally designed to restore life to a Pokémon that had perished.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The machine resembles the Eternal Flower held by AZ's [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]], and it appears to be made of a crystalline material. The machine was powered by the life force of Pokémon, whose graves line {{rt|10|Kalos}}.<ref name=Celosia>[[Celosia]]: "''In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=AZ>[[AZ]]: "''The man made an ultimate weapon. Using it required the life force of many Pokémon… The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this. The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man's side. The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together…''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=MrStone1>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''Let me first take us back 3,000 years, to the days when this story began... There was a great war at that time, in a region far from here. That war was finally brought to an end by a weapon created by one man. And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon...''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=File2>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2: The Fuel]]: "''The “Device That Grants Life” in fact grants the deceased life stolen from other Pokémon. This is because the basic function of the device is to distill energy into its purest form, then emit that distilled energy.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This energy source was later used by the [[Devon Corporation]] and named [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''But my grandfather, the president of Devon before me, said this... "Couldn't we use the energy to improve the lives of people and Pokémon?" And so he developed our greatest creation here at the Devon Corporation: [[Infinity Energy]].''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=Devon>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''According to the report from the {{ci|Petalburg}} recon team, [[Devon Corporation]] holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon. We will dedicate all our resources to obtain this technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> The ultimate weapon also lead to the creation of [[Mega Power]] through the reborn Floette.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
[[File:Ultimate weapon ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|AZ activating the ultimate weapon]]
3,000 years prior the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the king of Kalos, [[AZ]], was forced to send his beloved {{TP|AZ|Floette}} to fight in the war of [[Kalos]], which ultimately led to its [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]]. Determined to bring Floette back no matter what it took, AZ built a machine to bring it back to life, powered by the life force of other Pokémon. The exposure to the power of the machine also granted both AZ and Floette immortality and made AZ a giant as a result. AZ still wanted revenge on those who had killed his beloved Pokémon, so he turned the machine into the ultimate weapon, which he used to end the great war by blasting both sides. The graves of the Pokémon sacrificed to power the ultimate weapon now line [[Kalos Route 10]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> When AZ's {{p|Floette}} realized that so many lives were lost merely to restore its own, it left AZ. The key to activate the weapon was taken by AZ as he left Kalos to wander aimlessly around the world, and the weapon itself was buried deep underground by AZ's brother in an attempt to prevent it from being used ever again.

[[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that [[Mega Stone]]s originate from special stones, potentially [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} (or both{{sup/9|ZA}}) that was fired from the ultimate weapon.

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Photo Spot Geosenge Town Weapon.png|thumb|left|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon X]]
[[File:Ultimate Weapon Y.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon Y]]
In the present day, [[Lysandre]], the boss of [[Team Flare]], aims to use the ultimate weapon to destroy all life—including {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—to create a more beautiful world. However, it could only be reactivated with the power of the [[Kalos Power Plant]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, and the key possessed by AZ.

To accomplish this lofty goal, Team Flare occupies the Kalos Power Plant and diverts enough electricity to the weapon to cause a blackout in [[Lumiose City]]. This electricity is used along with the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to reactivate the weapon, allowing it to surface once again. However, when the {{player}} {{pkmn2|Caught|catches}} Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}, it drains most of the energy from the weapon. After being defeated, Lysandre attempts to use what little power still remains to make the player and their friends immortal{{sup/6|X}}/destroy [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] and everyone inside{{sup/6|Y}}, but the heroes manage to escape before the HQ is hit. The weapon then blasts [[Geosenge Town]], heavily damaging itself, burying the HQ under the rubble, and leaving a huge crater in the center of the town.

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
While the machine does not appear in the games, it plays a significant role due to the research it inspired. Long before the events of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Mr. Stone]]'s grandfather, the former president of the [[Devon Corporation]], researched the ultimate weapon. Inspired by its abilities, he aimed to harness the same energy to help both people and Pokémon. This research ultimately led to the development of and discovery of [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2/><ref name=Devon/>

[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} also researched the ultimate weapon, resulting in [[Project AZOTH]].<ref>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''We intend to analyze the power of the ultimate weapon used in [[Kalos]] 3,000 years ago and work on the development of a drill weapon utilizing the technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> This project involves the [[Primal Reversion]] of {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} to restore the world to its original state. The ultimate goal of Team Magma is to expand the landmass, providing humanity with more space to build and develop civilization. In contrast, Team Aqua aims to eliminate human civilization and return the world to its original state, allowing Pokémon to live free from the impact of humanity's progress.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
In a [[Pokémon multiverse|different timeline]], Lysandre succeeded in launching the ultimate weapon, however he passed out and ended up in the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon timeline, where he joined [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] as one of its admins. He will then have the player push one of two buttons, one of which activates the ultimate weapon and one of which opens the path to [[Giovanni]]. The ultimate weapon is activated regardless of which button the player chooses, but after defeating Lysandre, the player can press the other button and deactivate the weapon, saving [[Alola]].

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Following the ultimate weapon being fired in {{g|X and Y}}, {{P|Zygarde}} appeared to protect all living creatures from the ultimate weapon's blast, including Lysandre, exhausting its own power as a result. After being saved, Lysandre, now an amnesiac vagrant known simply as "L", worked with Zygarde to help restore its powers. The ultimate weapon's activation also caused the device embedded into the [[Prism Tower]], [[Ange]], to be awakened, sensing danger from the weapon.

The machine is mentioned in [[Team Flare]]'s computer in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]], explaining how Team Flare planned to use it to reduce the population of the world. Information gathered by Team Flare regarding the ultimate weapon is found as well, and the weapon was also mentioned as the reason for the reactivation of Ange. In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Side Mission EX2]],Team Flare considered using Mewtwo to power up their ultimate weapon; however, since they were unable to Mega Evolve Mewtwo, "Project M" was scrapped. Mewtwo would remain in slumber at Lysandre Labs until the destruction of the Ange machine, plus [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] being brought by [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] near its presence.

=== Abilities ===
[[File:Ultimate weapon fired ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|The ultimate weapon being fired]]
The machine was powered up by Pokémon's life energy. Along with energy, the machine must be activated with a key.

Before being turned into a weapon, the unnamed revival device would use the energy of other Pokémon to resurrect the deceased, granting them eternal life in the process. This process involves absorbing the life force of other Pokémon through the use of the standing stones that line [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]] all the way to the ruins of [[Geosenge Town]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> These stones usually emit energy, but when the machine is activated, that reverses, causing them to instead absorb the energy of whatever is attached to them.<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> The machine's primary ability is to convert life energy into its purest form, completely distilling it.<ref name=File2/> This life energy can be emitted in various forms, such as convection, radiation, and conduction. The transformed life energy is then redirected back into the deceased, effectively resurrecting them from the dead and granting them eternal life.<ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "''This emission can take the form of convection, radiation, or conduction.Thus life can be conducted back into a Pokémon that had lost its own, allowing it to be revived.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It was used 3,000 years ago by [[AZ]] to ressurect his [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]].

[[Team Flare]] intended to reactivate the ultimate weapon using the energy from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} and the life force of Pokémon absorbed with the stones on [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]],<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: "''The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> firing a huge blast of power that flies up and falls back down into the {{Pkmn|world|planet}}. [[Lysandre Labs]] housed two buttons: a red and a blue one, one of them is for activating the ultimate weapon. [[Xerosic]] also had a remote capable of activating it. Additionally, [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket's Castle|Castle]] also housed two buttons, one for activating the ultimate weapon and one for stopping it. It was used 3000 years ago by AZ to put an end to the [[Kalos]] war and in [[Pokémon X and Y]] by [[Lysandre]] as part of [[Team Flare]]'s plan to try and reduce the number of living things and create a "more beautiful world". [[Mega Stone|Mega Stones]] also originated from certain stones, possibly [[Evolution stone|Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}} that was fired by the weapon 3,000 years ago. Even more Mega Stones were created when the weapon was fired again in the event of Pokémon X and Y. Mere exposure to the machine can extend a [[human]]'s lifespan beyond their natural life expectancy, allowing them to live up to 3,000 years, as observed with AZ and [[Lysandre|L]]. Exposure may also grant incredible height, up to 9 feet tall.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{g|Masters EX}}===
During the [[legendary event]] [[Give and Take]], {{mas|Lysandre}} attempts to have [[Team Flare]] use the ultimate weapon to destroy [[Pasio]], but the weapon is successfully defused by {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Volkner}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, and {{mas|Molayne}} before it can be fired.

The machine was featured heavily in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'' through flashbacks. Its backstory was detailed, showing [[AZ]] building it to revive his lost [[AZ#Befriended 2|Floette]], granting himself immortality in the process. He was later seen converting it into a weapon to destroy both sides of the great war, finally bringing it to an end.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
The ultimate weapon appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', where [[Team Flare]] deployed it in [[Geosenge Town]]. Following {{ga|Calem}}'s victory over [[Lysandre]], the Team Flare Boss decided to use the remaining energy in the weapon to grant Calem, his friends, and himself eternal life, firing it. The weapon's blast crashed back down onto the weapon itself, causing it to sink back into the ground while Calem and his friends escaped from the blast.

==In the manga==

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The ultimate weapon was sought after by Team Flare, who planned to unleash its power onto the Kalos region. The machine contained an Absorber (Japanese: '''{{tt|吸収盤|アブソーバ}}''' ''Absorber'') that can drain the life force of Pokémon to power the weapon.

Team Flare's plan consisted of capturing the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} so that they could drain their energy to power the machine. The two Legendary Pokémon appeared in [[Vaniville Town]] in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', where they battled each other and caused panic and destruction to the unsuspecting townspeople. Team Flare observed the destruction from afar, but [[Xerosic]] noted that they had no actual methods of capturing the two Pokémon. Eventually, the two Pokémon ended their battle and left to parts unknown. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}}. By using the captured Vaniville townspeople as mind-controlled slaves, Team Flare managed to take Xerneas to their base in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''. After hooking the tree to the Absorber, Lysandre began the process of absorbing Xerneas's life force.

[[File:Absorber Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|The Absorber in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', {{adv|X}} traveled to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop Team Flare's plan. After arriving at the ultimate weapon's control room, he battled Lysandre. X's attempt to stop the weapon from being activated ended in his defeat, but also caused Xerneas to awaken. When X's friends and a group of [[Gym Leader]]s arrived at Geosenge Town, they found the ultimate weapon emerging from underground. They attempted to keep the weapon from opening, but it still managed to fire on the Kalos region. Despite this, the combined efforts of X and his allies, as well as Xerneas absorbing back most of its power upon awakening, drained the weapon of enough power that no innocent lives were taken. As Team Flare went into hiding, they tried to use their influence over the media to make the public believe the Gym Leaders and the Vaniville Town children were responsible for the destruction caused by the weapon's blast, but this didn't fool everyone in Kalos.
[[File:Flower machine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The flower in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered that the stones on {{rt|10|Kalos}} were actually an ancient form of the Absorber used by [[AZ]] when he first used the ultimate weapon. Due to Xerneas destroying the Absorber when it awakened, he decided to use these Absorbers in place of the previous one. In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Team Flare gathered multiple Pokémon from the [[Pokémon Village]] to act as the power source, but they were defeated by [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] before enough energy could be gathered for a second attempt. The four then proceeded to destroy the stones so that the ultimate weapon could never be used again.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Two more Absorbers appeared under the possession of the [[Devon Corporation]]. The Absorbers are taken to [[Sea Mauville]], where [[Mr. Stone]] and [[Steven Stone]] used them to drain the life force of [[Chic|Sapphire's Blaziken]] and [[Emerald's Sceptile]] in their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] states in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', so that the energy could be used to power a device called the dimensional shifter that would warp away an incoming [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that threatened to destroy the planet.

A smaller, portable version of the Absorber was seen in [[PS611]] in video footage contained at an old [[Pokémon Association]] science facility. This machine, nicknamed the "flower" (Japanese: '''花''' ''flower''), was a small cannon-like device with a barrel that was shaped like the ultimate weapon. This device was used in an attempt to drain {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} of its life force in order to weaken and capture it for the Pokémon Association at the [[Embedded Tower]].

==Trivia==
* The "cannon" inside the weapon's petals has a different design depending on the version of the game: in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], it is a blue orb, while in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], it is a red spike.
** In the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode, ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', the ultimate weapon is depicted in its design from Pokémon Y, despite the [[Legendary Pokémon]] caught by {{ga|Calem}} being {{p|Xerneas}} instead of {{p|Yveltal}}.
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], a holographic screen in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]] depicts the ultimate weapon along with both of its "cannons". The blue orb is depicted next to Xerneas' tree and the red spike next to Yveltal's cocoon. This implies that both of them exist in either version of Pokémon X and Y, with the orb using Xerneas' power and the spike using Yveltal's.
* The ultimate weapon's ability to destroy lives is reflected by Yveltal, as both have the power to take. This is contrasted by [[Ange]] and Xerneas, which both have the power to give.
* [[Celosia]], [[AZ]], and [[Mr. Stone]] state that when the machine was powered, it was done so to fire (similar to what Lysandre does in [[Pokémon X and Y]]);<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=Mr.Stone1/> however, the [[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2 entry]] at Lysandre Labs states that it was powered to revive [[AZ#Befriended|AZ's Floette]].<ref name=File2/> It is unclear whether this is a mistake or an implication that the device was fueled twice.
** During the climax of Pokémon X and Y, it is repeatedly stated that when AZ fired the ultimate weapon, he powered it with the life energy of other Pokémon, which caused his resurrected Floette to leave him. However, [[Professor Sycamore]] says in the post-game that the energy fired at the time came from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: "''Let's talk about [[Mega Stone]]s briefly.

Talk:Ultimate weapon

Fawfaw: /* When did AZ fueled it? */ Reply

== When did AZ fueled it? ==

The machine was originally made for resurrection, called "The Device That Grants Life" by Team Flare; only when it's been weaponized that it's called the "ultimate weapon." -> By this logic, we can logically assume that it had already been fueled when it's still a revival machine, thus the sentence in the [[Ultimate weapon#Abilities|Abilities section]]. ("Before being turned into a weapon, the unnamed machine would use the energy of other Pokémon to resurrect the deceased, granting them eternal life in the process") 
However, when I was gathering [[Ultimate weapon#References|references]], I noticed that the NPCs (specifically Celosia and AZ himself) only seem to say that the machine was only fueled before it fired. If that's the case, did the original machine require nothing beyond the basics to revive lives, just like how the scientists are able to restore Fossil Pokemon? --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 23:54, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

:I believe Steven’s father mentions this in ORAS on the ultimate weapon and what was used. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 00:54, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::I think it was just build to take life at first. But when he powered it up with the legendary pokémon, that is when it became a weapon and changed to that. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:16, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
:::During the Delta Episode, [[Mr. Stone/Quotes|Mr. Stone also said that]] the weaponized machine was fueled using ''Pokemon life energy''. He just added that Devon Corp calls it Infinity Energy and explained how they harness it.
:::Regarding the reason for the original machine's creation, AZ himself explained in the cutscene that "the man built a machine to give it life", but later "he turned the machine into the ultimate weapon" (you can rewatch [https://youtu.be/CneQ-QnwdSc?t=1m18s it here] or check the script on [[AZ/Quotes|AZ's quotes]]). Unfortunately, the cutscene doesn't mention ''when'' or ''what'' powered the it. --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 03:12, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::::Maybe quotes from ZA could help answer that? [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 04:12, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

::::::Perhaps. From the [[Ultimate weapon#References|quotes]], it seems he only fueled it after weaponizing it. That's what I was wondering, whether a special requirement is needed for the machine to revive a being. --[[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 04:57, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::::It doesn't have one I believe. It just required the life-force taken from other Pokémon to fuel the machine in order revive the dead. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:29, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Sorry but your sentences seem to conflict themselves. You believe it doesn't have a special requirement, but then you said "the life-force taken from other Pokémon to fuel the machine" -> That IS a special requirement. 
::::::::UPDATE: I just saw [[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|Lysandre Labs' File 2]] in PLZA, and it confirms that the original machine '''also requires''' Pokémon life force to revive a being.

[[File:Ultimate Weapon.png|thumb|250px|The original machine used for resurrection before it was turned into the ultimate weapon]]
The '''ultimate weapon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|最終兵器|さいしゅうへいき}}''' ''ultimate weapon'') is a machine created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years prior to the events of {{g|X and Y}}, located in [[Geosenge Town]]. It is featured heavily in those games and is referenced in both {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It has been referred to as "The Device That Grants Life" by [[Team Flare]].<ref>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 1: The Device]]: "''“The Device That Grants Life.” This device was created three thousand years in the past. It was originally designed to restore life to a Pokémon that had perished.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

The machine resembles the Eternal Flower held by AZ's [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]], and it appears to be made of a crystalline material. The machine was powered by the life force of Pokémon, whose graves line {{rt|10|Kalos}}.<ref name=Celosia>[[Celosia]]: "''In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=AZ>[[AZ]]: "''The man made an ultimate weapon. Using it required the life force of many Pokémon… The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this. The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man's side. The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together…''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref name=MrStone1>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''Let me first take us back 3,000 years, to the days when this story began... There was a great war at that time, in a region far from here. That war was finally brought to an end by a weapon created by one man. And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon...''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=File2>[[Lysandre Labs#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|File 2: The Fuel]]: "''The “Device That Grants Life” in fact grants the deceased life stolen from other Pokémon. This is because the basic function of the device is to distill energy into its purest form, then emit that distilled energy.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This energy source was later used by the [[Devon Corporation]] and named [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2>[[Mr. Stone]]: "''But my grandfather, the president of Devon before me, said this... "Couldn't we use the energy to improve the lives of people and Pokémon?" And so he developed our greatest creation here at the Devon Corporation: [[Infinity Energy]].''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref name=Devon>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''According to the report from the {{ci|Petalburg}} recon team, [[Devon Corporation]] holds the secret of the technology of the ultimate weapon. We will dedicate all our resources to obtain this technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> The ultimate weapon also lead to the creation of [[Mega Power]] through the reborn Floette.

===History===
====Background====
[[File:Ultimate weapon ZA.png|thumb|left|250px|AZ activating the ultimate weapon]]
3,000 years prior the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the king of Kalos, [[AZ]], was forced to send his beloved {{TP|AZ|Floette}} to fight in the war of [[Kalos]], which ultimately led to its [[Death in the Pokémon world|death]]. Determined to bring Floette back no matter what it took, AZ built a machine to bring it back to life, powered by the life force of other Pokémon. The exposure to the power of the machine also granted both AZ and Floette immortality and made AZ a giant as a result. AZ still wanted revenge on those who had killed his beloved Pokémon, so he turned the machine into the ultimate weapon, which he used to end the great war by blasting both sides. The graves of the Pokémon sacrificed to power the ultimate weapon now line [[Kalos Route 10]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> When AZ's {{p|Floette}} realized that so many lives were lost merely to restore its own, it left AZ. The key to activate the weapon was taken by AZ as he left Kalos to wander aimlessly around the world, and the weapon itself was buried deep underground by AZ's brother in an attempt to prevent it from being used ever again.

[[Professor Sycamore]] theorizes that [[Mega Stone]]s originate from special stones, potentially [[Evolution stone]]s, that were irradiated by the power of {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} (or both{{sup/9|ZA}}) that was fired from the ultimate weapon.

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Photo Spot Geosenge Town Weapon.png|thumb|left|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon X]]
[[File:Ultimate Weapon Y.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon opened in Pokémon Y]]
In the present day, [[Lysandre]], the boss of [[Team Flare]], aims to use the ultimate weapon to destroy all life—including {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—to create a more beautiful world. However, it could only be reactivated with the power of the [[Kalos Power Plant]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, and the key possessed by AZ.

To accomplish this lofty goal, Team Flare occupies the Kalos Power Plant and diverts enough electricity to the weapon to cause a blackout in [[Lumiose City]]. This electricity is used along with the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] to reactivate the weapon, allowing it to surface once again. However, when the {{player}} {{pkmn2|Caught|catches}} Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}, it drains most of the energy from the weapon. After being defeated, Lysandre attempts to use what little power still remains to make the player and their friends immortal{{sup/6|X}}/destroy [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] and everyone inside{{sup/6|Y}}, but the heroes manage to escape before the HQ is hit. The weapon then blasts [[Geosenge Town]], heavily damaging itself, burying the HQ under the rubble, and leaving a huge crater in the center of the town.

===={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}====
While the machine does not appear in the games, it plays a significant role due to the research it inspired. Long before the events of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Mr. Stone]]'s grandfather, the former president of the [[Devon Corporation]], researched the ultimate weapon. Inspired by its abilities, he aimed to harness the same energy to help both people and Pokémon. This research ultimately led to the development of and discovery of [[Infinity Energy]].<ref name=MrStone2/><ref name=Devon/>

[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} also researched the ultimate weapon, resulting in [[Project AZOTH]].<ref>[[Project AZOTH]] File No. 2: "''We intend to analyze the power of the ultimate weapon used in [[Kalos]] 3,000 years ago and work on the development of a drill weapon utilizing the technology.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> This project involves the [[Primal Reversion]] of {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} to restore the world to its original state. The ultimate goal of Team Magma is to expand the landmass, providing humanity with more space to build and develop civilization. In contrast, Team Aqua aims to eliminate human civilization and return the world to its original state, allowing Pokémon to live free from the impact of humanity's progress.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
In a [[Pokémon multiverse|different timeline]], Lysandre succeeded in launching the ultimate weapon, however he passed out and ended up in the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon timeline, where he joined [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] as one of its admins. He will then have the player push one of two buttons, one of which activates the ultimate weapon and one of which opens the path to [[Giovanni]]. The ultimate weapon is activated regardless of which button the player chooses, but after defeating Lysandre, the player can press the other button and deactivate the weapon, saving [[Alola]].

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Following the ultimate weapon being fired in {{g|X and Y}}, {{P|Zygarde}} appeared to protect all living creatures from the ultimate weapon's blast, including Lysandre, exhausting its own power as a result. After being saved, Lysandre, now an amnesiac vagrant known simply as "L", worked with Zygarde to help restore its powers. The ultimate weapon's activation also caused the device embedded into the [[Prism Tower]], [[Ange]], to be awakened, sensing danger from the weapon.

The machine is mentioned in [[Team Flare]]'s computer in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]], explaining how Team Flare planned to use it to reduce the population of the world. Information gathered by Team Flare regarding the ultimate weapon is found as well, and the weapon was also mentioned as the reason for the reactivation of Ange.

[[File:Ultimate weapon fired ZA.png|thumb|right|250px|The ultimate weapon being fired]]
The machine was powered up by Pokémon's life energy. Along with energy, the machine must be activated with a key.

Before being turned into a weapon, the unnamed revival device would use the energy of other Pokémon to resurrect the deceased, granting them eternal life in the process. This process involves absorbing the life force of other Pokémon through the use of the standing stones that line [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]] all the way to the ruins of [[Geosenge Town]].<ref name=Celosia/><ref name=AZ/><ref name=MrStone1/><ref name=File2/> These stones usually emit energy, but when the machine is activated, that reverses, causing them to instead absorb the energy of whatever is attached to them.<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''The stones on Route 10 normally put out energy, but when the ultimate weapon is activated, that reverses and they begin to absorb energy from Pokémon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> The machine's primary ability is to convert life energy into its purest form, completely distilling it.<ref name=File2/> This life energy can be emitted in various forms, such as convection, radiation, and conduction. The transformed life energy is then redirected back into the deceased, effectively resurrecting them from the dead and granting them eternal life.<ref>[[Lysandre Labs]]: "''This emission can take the form of convection, radiation, or conduction.Thus life can be conducted back into a Pokémon that had lost its own, allowing it to be revived.''" ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> It was used 3,000 years ago by [[AZ]] to ressurect his [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]].

[[Team Flare]] intended to reactivate the ultimate weapon using the energy from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} and the life force of Pokémon absorbed with the stones on [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]],<ref>[[Bryony]]: "''We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: "''The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref> firing a huge blast of power that flies up and falls back down into the {{Pkmn|world|planet}}. [[Lysandre Labs]] housed two buttons: a red and a blue one, one of them is for activating the ultimate weapon. [[Xerosic]] also had a remote capable of activating it. Additionally, [[Team Rainbow Rocket]]'s [[Team Rocket's Castle|Castle]] also housed two buttons, one for activating the ultimate weapon and one for stopping it. It was used 3000 years ago by AZ to put an end to the [[Kalos]] war and in [[Pokémon X and Y]] by [[Lysandre]] as part of [[Team Flare]]'s plan to try and reduce the number of living things and create a "more beautiful world". [[Mega Stone|Mega Stones]] also originated from certain stones, possibly [[Evolution stone|Evolution stones]], that were irradiated by the light of {{P|Xerneas}}{{Sup/6|X}}/{{P|Yveltal}}{{Sup/6|Y}}/both{{sup/9|ZA}} that was fired by the weapon 3,000 years ago. Even more Mega Stones were created when the weapon was fired again in the event of Pokémon X and Y. Mere exposure to the machine can extend a [[human]]'s lifespan beyond their natural life expectancy, allowing them to live up to 3,000 years, as observed with AZ and [[Lysandre|L]]. Exposure may also grant incredible height, up to 9 feet tall.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{g|Masters EX}}===
During the [[legendary event]] [[Give and Take]], {{mas|Lysandre}} attempts to have [[Team Flare]] use the ultimate weapon to destroy [[Pasio]], but the weapon is successfully defused by {{mas|Clemont}}, {{mas|Volkner}}, {{mas|Sophocles}}, and {{mas|Molayne}} before it can be fired.

===[[Pokémon Generations]]===
The machine was featured heavily in ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'' through flashbacks. Its backstory was detailed, showing [[AZ]] building it to revive his lost [[AZ#Befriended 2|Floette]], granting himself immortality in the process. He was later seen converting it into a weapon to destroy both sides of the great war, finally bringing it to an end.

===[[Pokémon Evolutions]]===
The ultimate weapon appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', where [[Team Flare]] deployed it in [[Geosenge Town]]. Following {{ga|Calem}}'s victory over [[Lysandre]], the Team Flare Boss decided to use the remaining energy in the weapon to grant Calem, his friends, and himself eternal life, firing it. The weapon's blast crashed back down onto the weapon itself, causing it to sink back into the ground while Calem and his friends escaped from the blast.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ultimate weapon Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The ultimate weapon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The ultimate weapon was sought after by Team Flare, who planned to unleash its power onto the Kalos region. The machine contained an Absorber (Japanese: '''{{tt|吸収盤|アブソーバ}}''' ''Absorber'') that can drain the life force of Pokémon to power the weapon.

Team Flare's plan consisted of capturing the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} so that they could drain their energy to power the machine. The two Legendary Pokémon appeared in [[Vaniville Town]] in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', where they battled each other and caused panic and destruction to the unsuspecting townspeople. Team Flare observed the destruction from afar, but [[Xerosic]] noted that they had no actual methods of capturing the two Pokémon. Eventually, the two Pokémon ended their battle and left to parts unknown. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas at {{rt|8|Kalos}}. By using the captured Vaniville townspeople as mind-controlled slaves, Team Flare managed to take Xerneas to their base in ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]''. After hooking the tree to the Absorber, Lysandre began the process of absorbing Xerneas's life force.

[[File:Absorber Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|The Absorber in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', {{adv|X}} traveled to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop Team Flare's plan. After arriving at the ultimate weapon's control room, he battled Lysandre. X's attempt to stop the weapon from being activated ended in his defeat, but also caused Xerneas to awaken. When X's friends and a group of [[Gym Leader]]s arrived at Geosenge Town, they found the ultimate weapon emerging from underground. They attempted to keep the weapon from opening, but it still managed to fire on the Kalos region. Despite this, the combined efforts of X and his allies, as well as Xerneas absorbing back most of its power upon awakening, drained the weapon of enough power that no innocent lives were taken. As Team Flare went into hiding, they tried to use their influence over the media to make the public believe the Gym Leaders and the Vaniville Town children were responsible for the destruction caused by the weapon's blast, but this didn't fool everyone in Kalos.
[[File:Flower machine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The flower in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered that the stones on {{rt|10|Kalos}} were actually an ancient form of the Absorber used by [[AZ]] when he first used the ultimate weapon. Due to Xerneas destroying the Absorber when it awakened, he decided to use these Absorbers in place of the previous one. In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Team Flare gathered multiple Pokémon from the [[Pokémon Village]] to act as the power source, but they were defeated by [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] before enough energy could be gathered for a second attempt. The four then proceeded to destroy the stones so that the ultimate weapon could never be used again.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Two more Absorbers appeared under the possession of the [[Devon Corporation]]. The Absorbers are taken to [[Sea Mauville]], where [[Mr. Stone]] and [[Steven Stone]] used them to drain the life force of [[Chic|Sapphire's Blaziken]] and [[Emerald's Sceptile]] in their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] states in ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', so that the energy could be used to power a device called the dimensional shifter that would warp away an incoming [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] that threatened to destroy the planet.

A smaller, portable version of the Absorber was seen in [[PS611]] in video footage contained at an old [[Pokémon Association]] science facility. This machine, nicknamed the "flower" (Japanese: '''花''' ''flower''), was a small cannon-like device with a barrel that was shaped like the ultimate weapon. This device was used in an attempt to drain {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} of its life force in order to weaken and capture it for the Pokémon Association at the [[Embedded Tower]].

==Trivia==
* The "cannon" inside the weapon's petals has a different design depending on the version of the game: in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]], it is a blue orb, while in [[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon Y]], it is a red spike.
** In the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode, ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', the ultimate weapon is depicted in its design from Pokémon Y, despite the [[Legendary Pokémon]] caught by {{ga|Calem}} being {{p|Xerneas}} instead of {{p|Yveltal}}.
** In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], a holographic screen in the abandoned [[Lysandre Labs]] depicts the ultimate weapon along with both of its "cannons". The blue orb is depicted next to Xerneas' tree and the red spike next to Yveltal's cocoon. This implies that both of them exist in either version of Pokémon X and Y, with the orb using Xerneas' power and the spike using Yveltal's.
* The ultimate weapon's ability to destroy lives is reflected by Yveltal, as both have the power to take. This is contrasted by [[Ange]] and Xerneas, which both have the power to give.
* During the climax of [[Pokémon X and Y]], it is repeatedly stated that when [[AZ]] first used the ultimate weapon, he powered it with the life energy of other Pokémon, which caused his [[AZ#Befriended|resurrected Floette]] to leave him. However, [[Professor Sycamore]] said in the post-game that the energy fired at the time came from Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}.<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: "''Let's talk about [[Mega Stone]]s briefly. My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}}--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago.''" ([[Pokémon X and Y]])</ref>
* The ultimate weapon shares some similarities with [[Professor Sada]]'s{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]'s{{sup/9|V}} [[time machine]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]:
** They were both built by [[human]]s who wanted to use them for their own selfish desires, but not exactly for evil means.
** They're both powerful machines that posed a huge threat to their respective [[region]]s; [[Kalos]] for the ultimate weapon and [[Paldea]] for the time machine.
** They're both powered up by energy connected to their respective regions' [[Legendary Pokémon]]; Xerneas{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal{{sup/6|Y}} with their [[Infinity Energy]] for the ultimate weapon; and {{p|Terapagos}} with their [[Terastal energy]] for the time machine.

Professor Sycamore/Quotes

Fawfaw: /* Pokémon X and Y */

These are [[Professor Sycamore]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series==
===Pokémon X and Y===
'''Intro'''
:''"Welcome to the world of Pokémon!"''
:''"I am Augustine Sycamore, the Kalos region's very own Pokémon Professor."''
:''"This world of ours is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon!"''
:''"These mysterious creatures can be found in every corner of our world..."''
:''"Some run across the plains, others fly through the skies, and others yet swim in deep oceans..."''
:''"We live together with these Pokémon, lending our strength to one another to live and prosper."''
:''"Let's get started with some quick questions... Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?"''
* Either choice
:''"And what do you look like?"''

* Any choice
:''"Oho, I see. Would you tell me your name?"''
:''"So it's <player>, then? Did I get that right?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"<player>... {{tt|Très bien|French for very good; excellent}}! What a fantastic name!"''
::'''No''': Returns the player to the 'Your name?' screen.
:''"<player>! Your adventure begins now! You are about to enter the beautiful Kalos region!"''
:''"Go and meet many Pokémon and people, and fill your life with rich experiences!"''
:''"Now let's go visit the world of Pokémon!"''

'''[[Lumiose City]]'''
:''"So, we finally meet!"''
:''"Fantastic! You're here! Come this way, won't you?"''
:''"Many thanks for coming all the way from [[Vaniville Town]]! I'm Professor Sycamore! It's a pleasure to finally meet you! How is your Pokémon journey going so far? Have you met many different Pokémon? Fantastic! Let me have a quick look at your Pokédex and see!"''
:Uses the line depending on how many Pokémon have been seen in the Central Kalos Pokédex.
:''"Well now, you DO have a certain {{tt|je ne sais quoi|unidentifiable charm; lit. 'I do not know what'}}! I have a good feeling about you! At first, I was thinking of choosing only one child from a town when I was deciding who to give a Pokémon to. In Vaniville Town, it was going to be the child of a Veteran Trainer I know. About then, I learned that the {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer {{kal|Grace}} and her {{tt|son|if the player is a boy}}/{{tt|daughter|if the player is a girl}} were moving here. Here in the Kalos region, you're far away from everything you used to know... That really hit me right here... Then it hit me--I should give you a Pokémon and have you travel around Kalos!"''
:''"Fantastic! Now, let's all have a Pokémon battle! Your opponent shall be me!"''

* Before battle
:''"Shall we start the battle?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Just so you know, I'm not that tough!"''
::'''No''': ''"No problem at all! I'll wait! I'll wait as long as I must!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Ha ha! You're too much for me! You're really something, aren't you?"''

* After being defeated
:''"I think I've about figured it out!"''
:''"<Player>! You are an interesting Pokémon Trainer indeed! It'd be fantastic if you took another Pokémon with you! Here! Pick one!"''
:''"You picked Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, then! I see. That's simply wonderful!"''
:* If the player's party is full and the player declines to send a Pokémon to the PC
::''"Oh! So you don't want it right now? Come back and get your Pokémon once you've organized your PC Boxes."''
:* If the player has or makes room in their party
::''"Would you like to give your Pokémon a nickname?"''
:::'''Yes''': ''"So, you've decided its nickname will be <nickname>?"''
:::'''No''': ''"Oh, I see. You're not going to give your Pokémon a nickname, then."''
:''"Since you chose Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, I'll give you this Mega Stone."''
:''"Come now, you two. Pick your Pokémon."''
:''"Well, I've got a feeling everyone else will show up soon."''
:''"See. Wonderful! Everyone's all here! So now that we're all here, I'd like to say a few words. Be the best Trainer you can be! At the same time, remember to have fun traveling with your Pokémon! Also, I want to ask for your help in solving the Kalos region's biggest Pokémon mystery: the secret and potential of Mega Evolution, a new kind of Evolution that occurs in battle! That's why I gave you that Mega Stone just now. It's an important clue!"''
:''"Trevor, my lad, if that's what "best Trainer" means to you, then I want you to go out there and complete that Pokédex!"''
:''"If you're investigating Mega Evolution, why don't you check out [[Camphrier Town]]? That town has a lot of history--you might find a hint there! Now listen. If you visit many different places to complete the Pokédex, you will probably see Pokémon with many ways of living and meet people with many ways of thinking. First, accept the ways of living and thinking that sometimes conflict with your own. And think about what's really imporant--this will truly broaden your horizons."''

* If Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle was previously left with the professor
:''"Why hello! Nice to see you! Here's the <Pokémon> you chose! Take good care of it, OK?"'' (If accepted, afterwards he asks about giving it a nickname, the same as above. Whether accepted or not, he concludes with his last four lines above.)

'''[[Coumarine City]]'''
:''"Why hello, <player>!"''
:''"Congratulations! I see you finally obtained everything you need for Mega Evolution! A Mega Stone for the Pokémon, a [[Mega Ring]] for the Trainer, and a strong bond with your Pokémon."''
:''"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to this new Evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region? There's still so much we don't know..."''
:''"Oh! What an excellent point! Indeed! The more you know, the more there is to research! The excitement never ends, does it?"''
:''"Oh, that's right! I came here to give you this!"''
:''"Use the [[HM]] {{m|Fly}} to pop right over to [[Pokémon Center]]s of places you've already visited! Well then, <player>..."''
:''"Diantha, I hope to see you both again soon!"''

'''[[Lumiose City]] (Lysandre Café)'''
:''"Over here!"''
:''"I was just having a conversation with Lysandre about Mega Evolution."''
:''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."''
:''"By the way, <player>... Do you know where the [[Holo Caster]] is made?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That's right! They're made in Lysandre's lab."''
::'''No''': ''"Oh really? Well, they just happen to be made in Lysandre's lab."''
:''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."''
:''"What a passionate person. He's just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely."''
:''"That being said, what Lysandre says is only one way of looking at things... It's not necessarily the truth. <player>! What's truly important is the time you spend together with others! Treasure these moments spent traveling the Kalos region with your Pokémon!"''

'''[[Dendemille Town]]'''
:''"Why Hello, <player>!"''
:''"How's your journey going? You see, when I was younger, I visited many different regions as well. I met many kinds of Pokémon and noticed how each place has its own distinct flavors. So, I really came to enjoy trying new foods as I traveled. Becase of my adventures, I'm an expert on the cafés all over Kalos."''
:''"Come now, Dexio. I'm going somewhere with this. Do you remember the Pokémon Lysandre mentioned in the café?"''
::'''''Yes''': "Wonderful! I knew you would! "''
::'''''No''': "I suppose you wouldn't. It's important to forget things from time to time."'' ''"Kalos's Legendary Pokémon is called... {{p|Yveltal}}!{{sup/6|Y}}/{{p|Xerneas}}!{{sup/6|X}} According to material I've read, those who saw it were so overwhelmed by its power, they were only able to say that this Pokémon resembled the letter Y{{sup/6|Y}}/X{{sup/6|X}}."''
:* ''In Y:'' ''"Apparently, this Pokémon will absorve energy. Its life span is said to be 1,000 years. When it reaches the end of its life, it steals all the spirits around it."''
:* ''In X:'' ''"Apparently, this Pokémon can control energy. It gives energy to plants and Pokémon, and makes them full of vitality again."''
:''"When Kalos's Legendary Pokémon loses all of its vitality, it goes to sleep in a secret place. I don't have a clue where it could be. The writings that mention it are also around a thousand years old, so they aren't much help."''
:''"Ah ha ha! Oh, it would be a thrill if you found it, indeed! But your journey is yours and your Pokémon's alone. I want you to enjoy yourself and do whatever you'd like."''

'''[[Couriway Town]]'''
:''"Hello..."''
:''"I have to apologize to you about Lysandre... I'm very sorry for the trouble he caused..."''
:''"And I'd also like to thank you! I'm sincerely grateful for what you did for all of the Pokémon and people of this world. And by stopping Team Flare, you also saved Lysandre. I always knew that he desired a beautiful world..."''
:''"And maybe someday the population of people and Pokémon will actually increase to where resources become very scarce. If someone acts out of greed in such a world, surely some will go without. If all living things keep acting that way, there will be nothing left at all in the end. Why, there won't even be anything left to steal, will there?"''
:''"But what I really wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this."''

* Before battle
:''"Well, enough of that. <player>! I want you and your Pokémon to take everything you learned from your journey and hit me with your very best shot!"''

* Being defeated
:''"You are really something! You and your Pokémon have developed strong bonds by spending time together and by caring about one another. That's why you and your Pokémon are so strong."''

* After being defeated
:''"The strength you've found is simply marvelous! And... You truly love and trust your Pokémon! <player>! A treasure of mine is hidden in this town! If you'd like, try to find it. Well, I'll be off then! I have many preparations I must attend to! I have a little surprise planned for all of you to thank you for fighting Team Flare and saving Kalos!"''

'''Parade at Lumiose City''' (after entering [[Hall of Fame]])
:''"What an amazing turnout! All of these people are here to celebrate your achievements. I'd like to present you with the [[Honor of Kalos]] for the bravery you showed battling Team Flare! I'm so proud of you all! On behalf of the entire Kalos region, I'd like to say... Thank you!"''
:''"[[AZ|His]] {{p|Floette|Pokémon}} was waiting all this time... Waiting for him to return to the man he was. The man who loved Pokémon with all his heart."''

'''Lumiose Station''' (post-game)
:''"How did you like your parade, <player>? So the reason I asked you to come here is... I wanted to give you a pass to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Doesn't ring any bells? Kiloude City is a city in the southern part of the Kalos region. And it's the perfect place for Trainers looking to sharpen their skills! So here's your [[TMV Pass|pass]] for the super high-speed rail to Kiloude City!"''
:''"Use it to ride the TMV super high-speed rail! Take your pass to that scanner over there. It's an orange machine. Have the machine scan your pass to board the train. Have a fantastic time!"''

'''Anistar City''' (after defeating {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} in [[Kiloude City]] post-game)
:''"Why, hello, <player>!"
:''"Running around all over Kalos is actually rather tiring, is it not?"
:''"Oh yeah, I'm the one making you do that, aren't I?"
:''"Terribly sorry about that!"
:''"Well, {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} may have already told you, but I found a way to power up the Mega Ring!"
:''"Before we get to that, however..."
:''"Let's talk about [[Mega Stone]]s briefly."
:''"My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}--fired from the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago."
:''"And that's what I think they are."
:''"It's even possible that stones like [[Fire Stone]]s were what turned into these Mega Stones."
:''"So, what's the Mega Ring you are holding?"
:''"That mysterious stone transforms feelings felt towards Pokémon into some kind of wavelength."
:''"The Mega Ring works in a similar way to how this object over here works."
:''"It's an object that changes sunlight into a mysterious light."
:''"For one hour starting at 8 pm, this sundial starts emitting light."
:''"This mysterious object has towered over the city here for over 3,000 years."
:''"It's{{sic}} relationship to the Mega Ring isn't understood at all yet."
:''"Now, let's get down to the heart of the matter!"
:''"<player>! Try touching the sundial!"

* After touching
:''"You were exposed to the Legendary Pokemon's energy in Team Flare's secret HQ."
:''"And the Mega Ring has absorbed the power of the sundial."
:''"These two powers have combined to upgrade your Mega Ring."
:''"Now, it will react to underground Mega Stones, but only when the sundial is emitting light."
:''"I'm sure these stones hide in every corner of Kalos! Use this power to find them!"

: ''"Yes, I just had a battle with {{tt|him|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}}. {{tt|He's|if the player is male}}/{{tt|She's|if the player is female}} a great Trainer, just like {{mas|Clemont|you}} said!"''

* On-screen
: ''"If {{mas|Lysandre|he's}} really here, I have to make sure I take care of things the right way this time."''

*'''A Beautiful World'''
: ''"I heard that these woods have been bearing more [[Berry|Berries]] than before–and that the plants have been looking healthier, too."''
: ''"And that was information from {{mas|Ramos}}, the {{type|Grass}} Pokémon expert. He's been keeping an eye on these woods every day."''
: ''"Yup. That's why I thought that if there were a spot where plants are looking extra healthy, that might lead us to where Xerneas is."''
:: '''What a Professor-like answer!''': ''"Thanks! But we're not sure yet if my knowledge still applies when it comes to Legendary Pokémon."''
:: '''Think we'll encounter Xerneas here?''': ''"Wouldn't it be great if we did? Thought I suppose we should also apologize for bothering it so late at night."''
: ''"Did you hear that?"''
: ''"Wonderful! I'm so glad we were finally able to encounter it! Easy now–let's slowly approach..."''
: ''"Wait... Doesn't it look like it's on guard?"''

*'''As Friends...'''
: ''"Lysandre, please listen to us! We–"''
: ''"How could you?"''
: ''"Lysandre!"''
: ''"Isn't it our job to change those things that seem impossible to do?"''
: ''"We strived to enrich the lives of people and Pokémon!"''
: ''"We work in different fields, but we're both researchers! That's why we became friends!"''
: ''"I...understand your struggle, Lysandre."''
: ''"But I can't accept your answer!"''
: ''"If all you see in the future is despair, then it is my duty as your friend to give you hope!"''
: ''"Urgh!"''
: ''"I'll be fine! You all take Xerneas and get away from here!"''
: ''"I didn't expect him to have {{p|Yveltal}} on his side. Go... Get help from everyone else here on Pasio!"''
: ''"No, I need to speak with Lysandre..."''
: ''"This time, I need to fulfill my duty...as his friend!"''
: ''"Xerneas, what are you doing?"''

*'''Message to the Future'''
: ''"I can breathe better now... Was it thanks to you?"''
: ''"Thank you! I'm OK now. Please go and help the people of Pasio!"''
: ''"Xerneas, are you trying to stop Yveltal?"''
: ''"It seems we're on the same page."''
: ''"Then...will you lend me your power?"''
: ''"That's right, Lysandre. There's no way to predict the future."''
: ''"Lysandre, when you were just a child, what did you imagine when you thought of the future–of where we are now?"''
: ''"I couldn't predict anything at all. I didn't even really know what I wanted to be in the future, either."''
: ''"That's why I wrote myself a message–a message to my future self–asking if I've become what I wanted to be."''
: ''"Yes, I guess Serena's found it, too."''
: ''"Today, I might be someone different from who I imagined I'd be when I was younger."''
: ''"But I can say this with pride! I am having fun and living my life to its fullest!"''
: ''"There are many paths in front of me. Now, I'm a Pokémon Professor..."''
: ''"But it was challenging myself and giving up on other things that shaped my future!"''
: ''"Those changes weren't always bad–they made me who I am today!"''
: ''"That's why it's impossible to predict the future! You said so yourself, remember?"''
: ''""The future isn't decided.""''
: ''"You made the [[Holo Caster]], didn't you?"''
: ''"In the past, it was just a figment of our imagination, but you were able to make it in real life! It's an amazing invention!"''
: ''"I think that those endless possibilities are what change the future. It's not just the power of one person."''
: ''"That's why I do what I do, Lysandre."''
: ''"And it's why I look forward to sending these children off on their adventures with Pokémon."''
: ''"They always come back with wonderful dreams and discoveries–things that surpass my imagination!"''
: ''"We need to stop being so proud and put more effort into helping these children reach their potential."''
: ''"We can't decide the future just from how you think it'll turn out!"''

*'''Flames of Conviction'''
: ''"Lysandre! You don't have to rush to a conclusion! We can still find a way to save everyone!"''
: ''"Looks like they made it just in time."''
:: '''What was that call about?''': ''"{{mas|Clemont}} {{mas|Volkner|and}} {{mas|Sophocles|the}} {{mas|Molayne|others}} were able to stop the weapon from activating!"''
:: '''Was that Clemont's voice I heard?''': ''"Yup! I had him gather some [[sync pair]]s that know a lot about machines! They worked together and defused the weapon!"''
: ''"I secretly had Clemont and the others working on things so that we could stop your plan, Lysandre."''
: ''"Actually, I knew you were here on Pasio, though I had no proof of it."''
: ''"<player>, you know..."''
: ''"No matter what Lysandre did on Pasio, for any reason..."''
: ''"I knew that your shining and boundless potential would allow us to get Xerneas to understand us."''
: ''"Not only that–I had a feeling you'd be able to help us change Lysandre's mind and change the future into something new."''
: ''"But now...I suppose I should take responsibility, given the situation."''
: ''"Lysandre, we were able to change the terrible future you thought was going to happen."''
: ''"But it wasn't just the power of one person. We all worked together to make it happen."''
: ''"Your convictions would reduce these infinite hopes and possibilities."''
: ''"Don't you think so?"''
: ''"That's unfortunate."''
: ''"Yes, I know. I'll remember that."''
: ''"I definitely won't let that happen to any of us."''
: ''"Even if he doesn't understand it now, I'm sure he'll change his ways eventually."''
: ''"Because his dream is to make the world a better place, just like ours is."''

*'''A Massive Impact'''
: ''"I'm currently looking into a new hypothesis I've formed–that sync stones have some kind of connection to [[Mega Evolution]]."''
: ''"Well, we already have some Pokémon here on [[Pasio]] that Mega Evolve when they use their [[sync move]]s."''
: ''"The energy within sync stones is known to have an effect on Pokémon."''
: ''"It's still a work in progress, but I'm looking into the energy that these sync stones emit."''
: ''"And now that {{p|Eternatus}} is here on Pasio..."''
: ''"I'm making tremendous progress on proving my hypothesis! It's all so very exciting!"''
: ''"Either way, the fastest way to solve this problem would be to catch Eternatus!"''
: ''"But I think that might change now that Eternatus is here."''
: ''"With Eternatus around, I believe there's a chance other Pokémon might start to [[Dynamax]]!"''
: ''"And if that happens all of a sudden here on Pasio to [[sync pair]]s who don't expect it..."''

: ''"And he wanted to rid the world of strife by reducing the number of human and Pokémon lives in it."''

: ''"The thing is, I've received reports that people have spotted some strange, unidentified specimens all over [[Pasio]]."''
: ''"Have you seen anything like that lately?"''
: ''"Apparently, they look like Pokémon in some ways but absolutely alien in others... In any case, they're strange."''
: ''"It'd be great if we could search the areas near where they've been spotted and maybe even get a sample of them."''
:: '''I think I saw one!''': ''"Oh, you did?"''
:: '''I haven't seen any, but I wanna help!''': ''"Really? That'd be much appreciated!"''

;Story Event - Verdant Guardian
*'''Sycamore's Suspicion'''
: ''"Hey there! Thanks for showing up!"''
: ''"The reason why I called you here is because I need your help searching for something!"''
: ''"Take a look at this strange specimen that was delivered to the [[Pokémon Center]]."''
: ''"Doesn't it look a bit like a cell? I'm thinking it might be part of a Pokémon."''
: ''"Fascinating, right? I think we should do more investigating to figure out what it is!"''
: ''"This may have something to do with the rumor that {{p|Hoopa}} has brought Pokémon to [[Pasio]]."''

*'''The Third Legendary'''
:* After speaking to the Youngster
:: ''"Certainly! We can look for the lost Pokémon while we search for the sparkly green things."''
:* After tapping on the tree on the far left twice
:: ''"If you're smart, you'll learn from this lesson and leave [[Team Break]] for good."''
:* After speaking to the Youngster again
:: ''"It seems {{p|Growlithe}} found what we've been searching for."''
: ''"We found another one of these sparkly green things..."''
: ''"No doubt about it. This must be—"''
: ''"{{p|Zygarde}}?!"''
: ''"Doesn't look like it wants to attack us."''
: ''"It's not aggressive... And the fact that it's not leaving your side must mean it wants to follow you."''
: ''"Why don’t we head back into town for now?"''
: ''"Zygarde..."''
: ''"First, {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} showed up on Pasio, and now Zygarde's here."''
: ''"That makes the third [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Kalos]]..."''
: ''"Hi! Thanks for coming."''
: ''"There are a few new things I've learned about Zygarde that I'd like to share with you."''
: ''"Those sparkly green things we were looking for are actually cells. They come together to form Zygarde’s body."''
: ''"Depending on the number of cells it has collected within its body, it can transform into different forms."''
: ''"So if we're able to collect more of its cells than it has now, that should theoretically give Zygarde an immense amount of power!"''
: ''"I'm talking even more power than Xerneas and Yveltal!"''
: ''"According to legend, Zygarde monitors the ecosystem, neutralizing those who harm it."''
: ''"I suspect that's why it needs so much power—so it can ward off those threats."''
: ''"Not exactly. In a pinch, it's able to gather its cells together if it needs to."''
: ''"Hm... Like I said earlier, Zygarde is a Pokémon that has great power hidden within itself."''
: ''"I'm not sure what would happen if it did collect all of its cells together in one place..."''
: ''"All right. I can see how determined you are."''
: ''"I'll leave figuring out what Zygarde wants to do to you three."''
: ''"As for me, I'll stay here and try to find as much info as I can!"''
: ''"I'll ask some {{pkmn|Champion}}-class Trainers for their help, too, just in case something does happen."''
: ''"But I believe in you three! Just be sure to stay safe, all right?"''

*'''Guardian of the Ecosystem'''
: ''"Looks like you were able to collect quite a number of cells!"''
: ''"Oh my. It went and scattered its cells again."''
: ''"I'm not entirely sure, but why don't we follow it?"''
: ''"You can go with Zygarde. I'll take care of things here."''
: ''"Both the Pokémon and its Trainer are in good hands now."''
: ''"Huh. That must be why Zygarde sent its cells all over Pasio again! It was looking for that Trainer and his Pokémon!"''
: ''"A human tried to protect his partner Pokémon, and a Pokémon worried more about its partner than its own well-being..."''
: ''"As the guardian of the ecosystem, Zygarde must have realized how much they cared for each other."''
: ''"True. You've learned from Zygarde what it means to be strong enough to protect others..."''
: ''"And I'm sure Zygarde learned from your compassion and willingness to help others, {{mas|Serena}}!"''
: ''"In collecting all of Zygarde's cells, you earned more than just a glimpse at its complete form..."''
: ''"It brought your hearts together."''

;Friendship Story - A Special Day with Sycamore<nowiki>:</nowiki> Part 1
: ''"Hmm..."''
: ''"Thank you, <player>! Just as I thought–your Poryphone had just what I wanted:"''
: ''"plenty of battle records with Mega-Evolved Pokémon."''
: ''"Hm? You want to know what I'm studying right now?"''
: ''"I suppose you'd say it's...the influence that [[Mega Evolution]] has on Pokémon, perhaps?"''
: ''"Based on previous research, it's actually been reported that Mega Evolution has negative effects on Pokémon."''
: ''"So I've been wondering why Pokémon change this way at all."''
: ''"Is Mega Evolution a type of Evolution that Pokémon really don't want for themselves? Or is there some reason they do want it?"''
: ''"What would you think if you had such a power, <player>?"''
:: '''I'd push myself, out of love.''': ''"So you think they're doing it for their Trainers, with whom they have such deep bonds of friendship? What a passionate perspective!"''
:: '''I'd do whatever it took to help.''': ''"Yes, that's what I was thinking, too."''
: ''"I think Pokémon may push themselves too far sometimes, trying to get even stronger so that they can help their Trainers."''
: ''"So I feel my role now is to find a way to lessen the burden that Mega Evolution puts on Pokémon."''
: ''"Thanks so much for giving me your honest opinion, <player>!"''
: ''"I suppose I may have been overthinking it."''
: ''"I'd like to thank you... Do you have some time later, <player>?"''
: ''"You're always helping me out with your extensive Pokémon battle data and your creative ideas."''
: ''"I do hope you'll allow me to return the favor!"''

: ''"I've visited cafés all over [[Kalos]], but this coffee is my favorite yet. What do you think?"''
:: '''I like it!''': ''"I'm so glad you approve!"''
:: ''"I really love the deep and bitter taste."''
:: '''It's not for me.''': ''"Haha, no need to force yourself to drink it, then! Instead..."''
:: ''"Here! Follow that up with a sweet treat!"''
: ''"Everyone has different tastes in coffee."''
: ''"But sometimes tastes change with age, and not just about coffee."''
: ''"In a few years, we may have very different opinions about the things we like the most now."''
: ''"So I think it's a good idea to try out a lot of flavors in life for the sake of your own future self."''
: ''"I hope you continue to change and evolve as well, <player>."''
: ''"Whether it be through your travels, adventures, or café hopping, like me..."''
: ''"Go out and experience the sweet, sour, bitter, and all other flavors in life so you can choose what works best for you."''
