FireHazard: /* I know it was like, two weeks ago... */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], FireHazard!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

But really, there's no need to put the level at which a Pokémon learns a move when it levels via move. Aipom can evolve at level 2 with Double Hit. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:21, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

FireHazard: /* One-evolution families */

[[Image:Evolution.gif|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} becomes {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].]]

During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's species, it may '''evolve''' (Japanese: {{tt|進化|しんか}} ''shinka'') into a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[nature]] and [[EVs]], as well as [[alternate coloration]], are preserved.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}}, make a Pokémon egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will only be able to follow one evolutionary path, ultimately.

===Stages of evolution===
Pokémon can be classed into different evolutionary stages, based on their appearance in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the [[TCG]]'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now considered it more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remained the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[main series]] are a part of, including {{p|Pikachu}}. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|}

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family, of course, is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary event are, of course, [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 42 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-legendary Pokémon that do not evolve.

It must be noted that not belonging to an evolutionary family is not an indication of strength overall. Some Pokémon, like {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Heracross}} are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving seven different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

| [[Trade]] holding [[King's Rock]]
| [[Image:186.png]] {{p|Politoed}}
|}

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} evolves into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves. The most common of them is evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Others include leveling up when [[happiness]] has reached a high level, when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d, when the Pokémon is traded [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]], leveled up holding an item, or even has an [[evolutionary stone]] used on it.

Most commonly, Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both be by [[evolutionary stone]] or by [[held item|holding an item]] and [[trade|trading]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

==In the anime==
In the anime, evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolution nor [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, [[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s [[King's Rock]] and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place.

Additionally, a difference can be noted in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. There are also several instances of an evolutionary trigger being incorrect, such as ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' where several {{p|Exeggcute}} evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}} without the aid of a [[Leaf Stone]]. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution (TCG)}}
Evolution in the TCG functions similarly in many aspects to that of the games, however, there is no different requirement that needs to be met depending on the Pokémon species to be evolved to move on to the next stage.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to actual evolution. The Pokémon whose evolution is closest to the real-world definition of evolution is {{p|Eevee}}, whose cellular structure changes due to its environment.

It must be noted that not belonging to an evolutionary family is not an indication of strength overall. Some Pokémon, like {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Heracross}} are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branch evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branch evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving seven different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

=====Advantages=====
A major difference between the final forms of an evolution family with a branch in evolution is in the way that their [[base stats]] line up. For example, {{p|Kirlia}} evolves into both {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{p|Gallade}}, which both have 518 total base stats. However, Gallade's base stat in {{stat|Attack}} is 125 and its base stat in {{stat|Special Attack}} is 65. The reverse is true for Gardevoir, whose Special Attack is 125 and whose Attack is 65. This is true of many opposing evolutions, with one focusing in one specific stat, the other focusing in a separate stat, and both having the same total stats. This is especially obvious in the [[Eeveelution]]s, who each have exactly the same base stats, though organized differently.

A listing of the stat focuses is below.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves. The most common of them is evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Others include leveling up when [[happiness]] has reached a high level, when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d, when the Pokémon is traded [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]], leveled up holding an item, or even has an [[evolutionary stone]] used on it.

Most commonly, Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both be by [[evolutionary stone]] or by [[held item|holding an item]] and [[trade|trading]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

==In the anime==
In the anime, evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolution nor [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, [[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s [[King's Rock]] and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place.

Additionally, a difference can be noted in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. There are also several instances of an evolutionary trigger being incorrect, such as ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' where several {{p|Exeggcute}} evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}} without the aid of a [[Leaf Stone]]. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution (TCG)}}
Evolution in the TCG functions similarly in many aspects to that of the games, however, there is no different requirement that needs to be met depending on the Pokémon species to be evolved to move on to the next stage.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to actual evolution. The Pokémon whose evolution is closest to the real-world definition of evolution is {{p|Eevee}}, whose cellular structure changes due to its environment.

Evolution

FireHazard: /* One-evolution families */

[[Image:Evolution.gif|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} becomes {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].]]

During the course of a Pokémon's development, under certain circumstances specific to that Pokémon's species, it may '''evolve''' (Japanese: {{tt|進化|しんか}} ''shinka'') into a different Pokémon. This change is not merely physical, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[Elemental types|type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[nature]] and [[EVs]], as well as [[alternate coloration]], are preserved.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}}, make a Pokémon egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will only be able to follow one evolutionary path, ultimately.

===Stages of evolution===
Pokémon can be classed into different evolutionary stages, based on their appearance in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the [[TCG]]'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now considered it more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remained the same.

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[main series]] are a part of, including {{p|Pikachu}}. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

| [[Image:149.png]] {{p|Dragonite}}
|}

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|}

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family, of course, is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary event are, of course, [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, there are still 42 other Pokémon that do not evolve. Below is a list of all non-legendary Pokémon that do not evolve.

==Methods of evolution==
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves. The most common of them is evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Others include leveling up when [[happiness]] has reached a high level, when the Pokémon is [[trade]]d, when the Pokémon is traded [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]], leveled up holding an item, or even has an [[evolutionary stone]] used on it.

Most commonly, Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both be by [[evolutionary stone]] or by [[held item|holding an item]] and [[trade|trading]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

==In the anime==
In the anime, evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolution nor [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, [[Misty]]'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s [[King's Rock]] and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place.

Additionally, a difference can be noted in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. There are also several instances of an evolutionary trigger being incorrect, such as ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' where several {{p|Exeggcute}} evolve into {{p|Exeggutor}} without the aid of a [[Leaf Stone]]. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}}.

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution (TCG)}}
Evolution in the TCG functions similarly in many aspects to that of the games, however, there is no different requirement that needs to be met depending on the Pokémon species to be evolved to move on to the next stage.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon, for most species, is more akin to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than to actual evolution. The Pokémon whose evolution is closest to the real-world definition of evolution is {{p|Eevee}}, whose cellular structure changes due to its environment.

Talk:Move variations/Archive 1

FireHazard: /* Pound Gust? */ new section

== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
:Template namespace. I'll whip one up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* [[Psybeam]]
* [[Bubblebeam]]
* [[Aurora Beam]]
* [[Sludge]]
* [[Spark]]
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::No, Psywave does from 0.5 to 1.5x the level. But Night Shade always does damage equal to the level. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 23:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Still, they don't have the same amout of default total PPs. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Cross Chop}} are variations. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Definitely ^_^ --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Stub?==
Is it Still a stub?--[[User:Torchic-ken|Torchic-ken]] 2:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:That works. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

== Softboiled and Milk Drink ==

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[Image:Ani155MS.gif|Fire echy]]''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group. Maybe Seed Flare and Focus Blast too, their effects are identical except for accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

==Order==
Why aren't they in alphabetical order? {{u|MathijsP}}
:Beats me. Last time I organized them I put them in order by damage. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==Dragon Claw, X-Scissor, Seed Bomb==

Aren't these all variations? They all do 80 damage, have 15 PP, and no added effect. Can I add them? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:You forget to mention the accuracy, but it happens that it's the same! So yeah, they're move variations. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Great. I guess I'll add them now. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think I know how to do the template. Can someone else do that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, I got them. :) --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

==Ice Beam?==

Ice Beam has only 10 PP, yet it's claimed to be a variation of Flamethrower and Thunderbolt, which have 15 PP. Can I remove that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 21:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:Ice Beam is the most useful of all three, but is still the same. Same power, accuracy and rate to inflict a status problem. Part of Ice Beam may be the fact frozen Pokémon are helpless. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 21:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::Ice Beam is one of the more visible move variations in normal gameplay. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 21:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah. I see. OK. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 00:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Air Slash? ==

I wonder if, shouldnt Air Slash be in the "variations of Slash" since it IS a Slash move after all? o: what do you people think? I havn't really looked up the PP, accuracy and power, but its very similar to Night Slash and Slash. :c--[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 17:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

:Slash and Night Slash have high critical-hit ratios, Air Slash may cause the opponent to flinch. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, ok thanks. --[[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 18:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

== Pound <-> Gust? ==

Gust isn't a variation of Pound, is it? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 00:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

'''{{p|Mothim}}'''. Transparent circles are released from Mothim. The circles then grow in size and fly towards the opponent. Any Pokémon that gets hit by the circles instantly becomes [[Status ailment#Confusion|confused]].
* Used by [[Cheryl's Mothim]] in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]''.

== So featured articles... ==

Well, our current one's been up for more than a week, so I'm wondering...

#Ought we get a new one (aka, oh... Ash?) out there?
#Should we have some sort of regular schedule to the featuring?
#Will you guys ''ever'' nominate and vote on them quickly enough to feature them weekly? Monthly? Bi-monthly? How often?
#And if not... well, when should we go back to the normal MftE? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

:I think if it's simple enough to nominate articles, then we could see more use from this. I had to dig a bit through the links to find the other nominations... would a simple "Nominate an article" link next to the "read more" and "more featured articles" links be a good idea, perhaps? We could have an article with not only a list of nominations, but some simple instructions for how to nominate. Make it more accessible. We've got plenty of articles to nominate, not enough people looking for them.
:At this rate, a once-a-month nomination might work out nicely. With more activity, I'd say nominating faster then that would be nice. I personally think having featured articles is a fun thing, MftE makes for a good news feed, but that's about it.

=Tauros <-> Miltank?=

In the articles, it is said that Tauros and Miltank are Male/Female equivalents. I don't think this is true. --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 02:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I imagine that's Nintendo's intent... but is there concrete proof? Like, will breeding Miltank with anything end with a Tauros from the egg? Heck, is there that sort of connection between the Nidos or Volbeat and Illumise? Should something be mentioned, perhaps in Evolutions, of very closely related Pokémon? Such as, Plusle appearing next to Minun in its article, or both Nido families being in the evo area of all six? I've wanted to put something like that in there for a while, but I dunno how appropriate it'd be...

:I suppose, though, it's like the Hitmonlee/chan relation that was theory before GS proved it. But should we acknowledge stuff like it here? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 06:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
::It's not that hard to confirm experimentally. (Of course, myself neither a Nidoran♀ nor Miltank nor Illumise to breed poses a problem...) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but still, something closely related like Plusle and Minun can't produce mixed children, Minuns make Minuns, Plusles make Plusles. But they're still closely related. It's like... eh, Latios and Latias, or the three members of a legendary trio. Closely related, but still separate. And as far as I know, the female-only counterparts only produce their own species of children, with males needed to be bred by way of Ditto, but I could be wrong with the Nidoran families.

:::But you know what I mean... Like Pokémon that sort of play off each other, as counterparts instead of relatives. Sort of like... the Eeveelutions if you cut Eevee out of the picture. If you didn't know they all evolved from the same Pokémon, you'd in the very least suspect some relation, right? But how far would we go with this thing? Do the Hitmons and Jynx count as counterparts? What about Electabuzz and Magmar? Every time a new member of one of their evolution lines was added, so was a member of the other at the same stage, which evolves to or from it with a similar method, and falls next to it in the National Dex in the same order. Are Feebas and Magikarp related? Zangoose and Seviper? All of the Fossil Pokémon? Manaphy and Phione? Should they be put in the evolution section with each other?

:::Anyone? Thoughts? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 10:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

::::Evolution sets should only be those provable to be related to each other. This includes the Nidoran families, since a Female Nidoran can have baby Male Nidorans.

They go through the same evolution processes, baby > lv30 > basic > trade with Booster item > evo, so I dunno. They just seem very similar to me.

I could have sworn Tauros and Miltank were related, but I guess they aren't. I put a Tauros and Miltank in the daycare and got 10 eggs. All 10 of them hatched into Miltank.

Oh, I know with all the new moves, abilities, and even the physical/special/other move split, and with the Golbat et al thing, that continuity is a joke in the games, but it annoys me that they even try. Why didn't Eevee's grass evo use the Leaf Stone? It seems to me their continuity is very selective. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 18:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Probably because the didn't have an ice evouloutionary stone. Of course they could of made a Freeze stone or something like that. They could of even used the Dawn Stone. - [[User:Count Caterpie|Count Caterpie]]

''They changed red and green to red and blue, to show their respects for America. Her national flag consits of red, blue and white. Game freak said so...''

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Red Version''' and '''Pokémon Blue Version''' were the first [[Pokémon games]] to be released in North America, on September 1, 1998. Pokémon Red and Blue were followed a year later by a sister game with minor gameplay changes, titled [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]. The Japanese version equivalents, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red Version]] and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green Version]] had been released in Japan for over two years by this time. They take place in the region of [[Kanto]] (although the region's name was only stated once in this [[generation]]) and the player's starting area is [[Pallet Town]].

The games demonstrate the original [[version|Pokémon gameplay concepts]]. Players travel across the region and battle against [[Gym Leader]]s in eight Pokémon Gyms to win [[badge]]s. Once the eight regional badges are collected, the player may enter the [[Pokémon League]].

The relationship between Pokémon Red and Blue with their Japanese counterparts Pocket Monsters Red and Green is more complex than the relationships of later translations. Originally, only Red and Green were released in Japan, in early 1996, with a Blue Version being released later as a [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] in the second half of the year. Despite Pocket Monsters Green never being physically released outside of Japan, its English version equivalent, Pokémon Blue, utilizes the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|original]] Blue Version's engine and graphics, as well as Green's wild and [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version exclusive]] Pokémon. Similarly, the English version of Pokémon Red utilizes the original Blue engine and graphics, as well as Pocket Monsters Red's wild and version exclusive Pokémon.

==Plot==
At the beginning of the games, players can choose {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} as their starter Pokémon from [[Professor Oak]]. They cannot catch any of the starters or their [[evolution]]s in the wild or by trading with in-game non-player characters; therefore, to complete the [[Pokédex]] with all 151 featured Pokémon, the player must link games and trade with other players, as well as attend Nintendo Events. The basic idea of each game is to become the best trainer in all of Kanto; this is done by raising Pokémon, defeating the eight Gym Leaders for Gym Badges, and eventually challenging the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion, the player's rival. Also, throughout the game, the player will have to battle against the forces of [[Team Rocket]], a criminal organization that uses Pokémon for evil, and will eventually face off against their leader, [[Giovanni]].

The player, known by default as {{ga|Red}}, has a childhood rival, who happens to be the grandson of Professor Oak. This character's default name is {{ga|Blue}}. He will battle the player at certain points in the game to test the player's Pokémon; being defeated is an indication for the player to level up his or her team. He will always choose for his starter a Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's chosen one. For example, if the player chooses Charmander, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, he will choose Squirtle, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, giving it an advantage over the Fire-type Charmander.

==Blurb==
"You've finally been granted your Pokémon trainer's license. Now, it's time to head out to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer. It's going to take all you've got to collect 150 Pokémon in this enormous world. Catch and train monsters like the shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}}. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. [[Trade]] with friends and watch your Pokémon evolve. Important—no single Pokémon can win at all. Can you develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time?"

==Features==
===Gyms===
As English editions of the Japanese Red and Green Versions, the same eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation, make a return in Red and Blue. Gym Leaders [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}) also make a return.

===Elite Four===
As it was in Red and Green, the Elite Four is located at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite trainers remain [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}) and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}); the [[Champion]] is {{ga|Blue}}, who has Pokémon of mixed types.

===Pokémon===
Each game again contains pre-recorded data on all 151 Pokémon of this generation (including {{p|Mew}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. Mew is the only Pokémon in Red and Blue that ''must'' be acquired through the use of attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, or glitching, though that [[Mew Glitch|particular glitch]] is only successful in the Red and Blue, as well as the Japanese Red and Green versions.

The following Pokémon are available only after having been transferred to a player's cartridge at a Nintendo sponsored event. Several methods of exploiting glitches made sponsored events obsolete in obtaining the game's exclusive Pokémon however.

==Criticism==
[[Image:Koffingoldandnew.PNG|thumb|right|{{p|Koffing}}'s Red and Blue sprite ''(left)'' paired with its Diamond and Pearl sprite ''(right)''. Note that the skull and crossbones of the sprite on the left is not placed correctly.]]
While continuing the legacy started by Pocket Monsters Red and Green, and introducing the franchise to North American audiences, Pokémon Red and Blue has been met with much criticism, especially when compared to its follow-ups. Aside from Red and Blue's number of glitches, many Pokémon did not look as they did in the [[anime]] or in the future installments of the [[Version|video game series]]. This problem was not overlooked in the development of [[Pokémon Yellow Version]].

Red and Blue are notorious for their several drastic [[Glitch|glitches]], among them [[Missingno.]], [[Glitch City]] and the [[Mew glitch]]. Missingno. is well-known because it duplicates the player's sixth item, increasing its quantity to 128. One method of the Mew glitch can even be used to catch any Pokémon in the game, including many hard-to-obtain [[glitch|glitched Pokémon]]. However, the games' glitches are arguably minimal points of criticism due to the reward value of certain glitches in Red and Blue.

'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターファイアレッド''' ''Pocket Monsters Firered'') and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Leafgreen'') are [[Generation III]] games that are set in [[Kanto]], with the addition of the [[Sevii Islands]].

These versions are remakes of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], and include many of the same characters, plot elements, and challenges, but with several important upgrades, including:
* Pokémon now have [[Natures]], [[Ability|Abilities]], genders, and can hold items.
* Pokémon like {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into [[Generation II]] forms (after acquiring the [[National Dex]]).
* Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] (after acquiring the Rainbow Pass).
* Trainers in the outdoors can be rechallenged using the [[VS Seeker]].
* Information on important characters can be stored in the [[Fame Checker]].
* New region that includes Pokémon (and music) once only available in [[Johto]], known as the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Pokémon can learn [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] moves.
* [[Move Tutor|Move Tutors]] now teach moves once available from the original [[Generation I]] [[TM]]s.
* Generation III [[TM]]s are used instead of the Generation I TM set.
* The [[Elite Four]] can be rechallenged and have new Pokémon on their teams.
* The player can choose a {{ga|Red|boy character}} or a {{ga|Leaf|girl character}}.
* Version-exclusive Pokémon have been slightly altered to account for new evolutions.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} became available.
* Location of some wild Pokémon has been altered.
* {{p|Deoxys}} has a different appearance and base stats — an Attack Forme in FireRed and a Defense Forme in LeafGreen.
* [[Team Rocket]] has a new branch on the Sevii Islands, based in the [[Rocket Warehouse]].

Also initially included in the box with every game was one [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], eliminating the need for link cables when trading between the two games (and later [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]).

These games were named for the original two Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], and feature the same [[Version mascots|Pokémon on the boxart]] as their [[Generation I]] counterparts. Oddly, even in regions where the Red version was paired up with the Blue version instead of the Green version, LeafGreen was not changed into a Blue version. However, Nintendo did copyright a WaterBlue title, suggesting that this may have been considered.

== Plot ==
The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the player beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Allowing the player to choose first, the rival quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a battle.

After the rival/player is defeated, Oak allows the two new trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a [[Oak's Parcel|package]] has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two Pokédexes, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym, however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other trainers, on {{rt|2}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type2|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the heinous [[Team Rocket]], attempting to extract rare [[fossils]] from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave and onto {{rt|4}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in [[Vermilion City|Vermilion]] Harbor and filled with trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6}}, using the [[Underground Path (Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in Vermilion. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym, however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree! The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the [[Sailor]] guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[Hidden Machine]]s available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the [[Badge#Cascade Badge|Cascade Badge]], the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym is a goner, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type2|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}}. Then it's back to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, Flash is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another [[Underground Path (Routes 7-8)|Underground Path]], which has its other entrance on {{rt|7}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and a perverted old man outside.

After stopping off at the [[Celadon Mansion]] and getting some [[Tea]], Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

The Gym is now open, and its Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type2|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, all that is left to do is deal with the ghosts in Lavender's Pokémon Tower, and to do that, one needs a [[Silph Scope]].

The [[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the game corner itself is merely the aboveground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|Rocket Hideout]]. It is here that Giovanni appears a second time, and after his defeat, flees to parts unknown, leaving behind a Silph Scope.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Near to the top, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11}} and {{rt|16}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17}}, and {{rtn|18}} on {{ka|Cycling Road}}, or down the [[Silence Bridge]] of Routes {{rtn|12}}, {{rtn|13}}, {{rtn|14}}, and {{rtn|15}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding [[Warden Slowpoke]]'s [[Gold Teeth]] also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

With six badges in hand, and five HMs in the [[TM Case]], finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19}} and {{rtn|20}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type2|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[fossils]]. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a region east of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to [[One Island (town)|One Island]], where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in [[Two Island (town)|Two Island]], where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in [[Three Island (town)|Three Island]] where a group of invading [[Biker]]s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type2|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who trains {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], whose specialty is {{t|Dragon}}. After these four, the reigning [[Pokémon champion]] is the final battle, and it is none other than the player's own rival. After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town, however, there is still more to do. There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet another region. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch, however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a [[Scientist]] named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, vow to return one day, and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher (Blue's levels are 10 higher). [[Cerulean Cave]], as well, is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there.

The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{2v2|Red|Green}}, which were previously not translated into English or other languages.
**The LeafGreen entries were also used for the [[Meister|international Pokédex entries]] featured in [[Generation IV]].
*The Pokédex entries for most of the {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} are the same as those in Gold and Silver, with Silver's entries being in FireRed and Gold's being in LeafGreen.
*[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|The truck]], long rumored to have a Poké Ball containing Mew under it, appears again as scenery near the S.S. Anne. This time around, however, following the instructions of the rumors of old will, in fact, get the player a [[Lava Cookie]].
*It may be worth noting that there are a number of in-game references to the [[Generation II]] games (such as a new reference to the bridge in front of Bill's House as a prime dating spot, and the character of [[Janine|Charine]]), prompting some speculation that the second generation games may receive a [[Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake]], much like [[Generation I]] did. While some evidence exists, there is no real certainty.

Bulbapedia:Project Moves and Abilities

FireHazard: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project MoveDex logo.png|right]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about '''moves'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project MoveDex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Movedex''' covers all articles about moves, also known as "techniques" or "skills", that presently exist in the Pokémon universe. It encompasses all moves that exist in the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games plus any moves which are otherwise defined as legitimate outside of the Game Boy and Nintendo DS games. It does not, however, define moves that exist in the Trading Card Game, in the Anime alone, or in any other offshoots of the main franchise.

'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>''' 
The image of the move in the anime with the legend "''Pokémon'' using ''move''". The size of the screenshot is 240px. However, if there are multiple screenshots on a page then the use of the gallery function is preferable. Below it, there should be a description of the move, how it looks, how it hits the opponent.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokémon===</nowiki>'''
:List of the Pokémon who have used the move. In the first line the name of the Pokémon and a description for the move in that Pokémon. After is a list of that Pokémon orders by episode number, has to have the name of the trainer and if it is the move's debut.
:If the Pokémon that uses the move was a regular character we will put "from", the episode when it first used the move, "to", and the episode when it was released/traded/etc.

To put the info in the right style paste this in the article.

Fire (type)

2008-09-01T04:53:01Z

FireHazard: /* Characteristics */

{{ElementalTypes}}
{{TypeNotice|Fire|ほのお|Honō}}
Notable trainers that specialize in Fire-type Pokémon include [[Blaine]] of [[Cinnabar Island]], [[Flannery]] of [[Lavaridge Town]], and [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

==Statistical averages==

{{BaseStats|
HP=64 |
Attack=81 |
Defense=64 |
SpAtk=86 |
SpDef=72 |
Speed=72 }}

==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
Fire-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Dragon}}, '''Fire''', {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Have no effect against: None

Fire-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Bug}}, '''Fire''', {{t|Grass}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Have immunity to: None

===Generation II-onwards===
Fire-type moves:
* Are super effective against: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Are not very effective against: {{t|Dragon}}, '''Fire''', {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Have no effect against: None

Fire-type Pokémon:
* Resist: {{t|Bug}}, '''Fire''', {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Steel}}
* Are weak to: {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}
* Have immunity to: None

==Characteristics==
Fire is a very poor type defensively. Ground, Rock, and Water moves are all very common, while most of the Fire-type's resistances are of little use. Fire-type Pokémon will not survive very long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile.

Offensively, Fire is much more useful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more.

Quantity-wise Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among them, of which there are four [[legendary|legendaries]] and four [[starter Pokémon]]. So technically, only 9 Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto dex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time).

==Trivia==
*Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
*There is yet to be a Fire-type with a secondary type that nullifies its Water weakness.
*All Fire-types are resistant or immune to Fire-type moves, unless one considers Heathran that loses it's trait.
*It is interesting to note that in the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used underwater, as well as Fire-types like Charmander being able to battle underwater, when it says Charmander dies if it's flame goes out.

FireHazard: /* Include Glitch TMs */ new section

Greengiant, I put the games for a reason so people would know what games they are in. Yes I know they can click on the Gen links but trust me it looked better the way I had it. Thanks for linking the moves, though. Also, you didn't need to get rid of the Move Tutors link I had. Don't overedit.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 00:56, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Chris, with all due respect, I don't believe he's overediting. The names of the games are redundant with respect to what generation they're found in. So long as you link to the generation, a user can figure out the games in it. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:18, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think I know what you're saying with how the differences between FireRed and LeafGreen can confuse things so you wanted to clarify. I didn't notice that before, but I think now that there might be a simpler way to say it, I'm just not sure how. I also didn't mean to remove the Move Tutors link, sorry about that. -[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]]

Just a thought - perhaps, for organizational purposes, we should turn the three lists into one big chart? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 19:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== potrayal ==

I really think the artical should include info on the looks of TMs, from the box thingys from the TCG to the modern disk shape (I also seem to recall them appearing in special as something else entirely). --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 06:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
:I distinctly remember a Pokémon manga where they appeared as boxes (in a simpler style than the TCG ones, which came later). --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 20:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
::acctualy, thinking about, I'm not exactly sure it was special. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 06:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:::I think it was seen used against the Eevee Brothers, which would make it the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga... Eevee learned... Mimic, was it? Let it copy Jolteon's move, I think. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 06:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

== TM Pages ==
For TMs that have not changed their move from generation to generation, I've begun changing the articles, since they aren't really referential to the move itself. The current format is ''TMs vary between generations. However, TMXX is (move) in every generation to date.'' -- I have switched this to ''TMXX has contained the move (MOVE) in every generation to date.'', because I feel the note that TMs vary between generations is both superfluous and misleading if the TM in question hasn't varied between generations. That statement would be better suited for this article. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 18:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Bulbapedia:Project GlitchDex

2008-09-01T04:39:02Z

FireHazard: /* Participants */

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts to write and improve articles about Glitch Pokémon. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

=Project title=
==Scope and aims==
Project Glitch Pokémon covers all articles about Glitch Pokémon.

The aims of this project are to write comprehensive articles on Glitch Pokémon (and greatly improve existing articles on Glitch Pokémon), including specifics on how to obtain them, base stats, type advantages, level-up moves, TM/HM lists, and sprites. Our main sources of information will be [http://www.glitchcity.info] and [http://www.trsrockin.com].

==Structure==
Here should be the basic structure for a glitch Pokémon article (subject to change):

1 Game data

1.1 Game locations (usually by Mew Glitch)

1.2 Base stats

1.3 Type effectiveness (glitch types seem to have no (dis)advantages)

1.4 Learnset

1.4.1 By leveling up

1.4.2 By TM/HM

1.5 Evolution

1.6 Forms (if applicable)

1.7 Trivia

FireHazard: /* Splashie */ new section

I'd say this should be renamed to fit with the other cataloging projects, like MoveDex and Pokédex. Maybe move it to "Project GlitchDex"?

Oh. And, um, make sure that glitches stay separate from normal Pokémon. Reference Pokémon pages, utilize template ''code'', but don't use the templates themselves. Check out [[MissingNo.]] for my call on that. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 20:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sprites ==

Now, I think the first thing we ought to do here is upload sprites of all the glitch Pokémon. Noticeably, several of these articles lack sprites, such as [[.4]], [[A (uppercase)]], [[3TrainerPoké]], and [[44Hy]]. We're also lacking proper sprites of [[MissingNo.]]'s other forms (Aerodactyl/Kabutops skeletons+ghost).

== Glitch Infobox? ==
While adding sprites to the glitch articles I noticed that some of the articles had the standard Pokémon infobox (with the categories removed), while others had none whatsoever. I also noticed that the majority of the infoboxes had "N/A" or "None" in most of the fields while the relevant information was in a list in the article itself. I propose that we make a seperate infobox for glitch Pokémon that includes relevant glitch-specific information (hexadecimal identifier, Pokédex number, equivalents in other versions, whether its Pokédex entry is terminated correctly, etc). Good idea? [[Image:Ani201QuMS.gif]] '''<code>[[User:Abwayax|abwayax]] ([[User talk:Abwayax|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Abwayax|c]])</code>''' [[Image:Ani201ExMS.gif]] 20:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:As you may have noticed I made separate type templates for the glitch infobox. The reason being is that the standard Pokémon type templates add the page to type categories, and consensus seems to dictate that we keep the glitch Pokémon seperate from the officially recognized ones (That and many of the glitch Pokémon have glitch types, which don't have real categories (ex. there is no [[:Category: Pokémaniac-type Pokémon]] nor will there likely be one in future).

==Categorization==
Okay. I've looked over a few articles and from what I can tell, the consensus within Bulbapedia is to '''not''' treat the glitch Pokémon as "real Pokémon". On the [[MissingNo.]] article there was actually an edit war with some people attempting to classify it as a "Pokémon", but from what I can tell the clear consensus is that MissingNo is not a "Pokémon". To that end, I modified the Template:GlitchPkmnInfobox so that it doesn't put the page in any Pokémon categories. However, recently MissingNo. was put into [[:Category:Normal-type Pokémon]] again. Should it be acceptable to include glitches in the type categories? I'm only asking because I don't want to revert that edit and inadvertently start another edit war.

== Notability criteria ==

Here's something that's really been bugging me. Where exactly do we draw the line between a notable glitch Pokémon and a non-notable one? Obviously [[MissingNo.]] is notable, and apparently the 20-something other Gen I glitches listed are too... but what about the 120-something others that ''aren't''? Furthermore, should glitch items and attacks deserve pages? Even pages such as [[List of glitch items]]...?

Here's what I think.

1st. gen: Any Glitch Pokémon you can obtain by any method that doesn't require a cheating device could be considered notable. Anything else, no.

2nd through 4th gen: Every Glitch Pokémon for these should be considered notable, as there are significantly less of them and even fewer obtainable w/o a cheating device.

But this is just my opinion.

Also, we should do something for the glitch moves, but as to what, I don't know. --

:: Well, most of the Glitch Pokémon you say require a Cheating Device can be found when fighting a trainer using the Old Man Glitch. You see the Glitch pokemon when you fight the Trainer, you just need the Gameshark to capture it. In my opinion, we should document these glitches, and merely have a notice at the top that states how it can found without a Gameshark, but cannot be captured without one. If B óË ÁN, a glitch that basically does NOTHING can get its own article, why can't these glitches? --[[User:Boxman|Boxman]], a Guy who works with Glitches. 18:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== A proposal ==

I think that we should make the Glitch Pokémon articles titled in a way similar to the Pokémon articles. Example: "MissingNo." moved to "MissingNo. (Glitch Pokémon)"., ".4" moved to ".4 (Glitch Pokémon)", ect.. See the thing? This would be effective in stopping people from moving MissingNo. to MissingNo. (Pokémon), and stuff of that sort. I would also propose a link template like [[Template:P]]. Maybe <nowiki>{{gp|name}}</nowiki>. --

:::IMHO this is unnecessary. What would this suffix accomplish, in terms of disambiguation? The Pokémon articles are titled like that to disambiguate them versus articles on significant members of that species ([[Pikachu]] disambiguates to [[Pikachu (Pokémon)]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]]) since individual Pokémon usually don't have their own names (Ash's Pikachu is just called Pikachu, as are most of the Pikachu in the world). AFAIK "MissingNo." or ".4" wouldn't refer to anything else, and even if we did decide otherwise, making a template to link to them would be a bit excessive - ''how'' many times would we link to one of these articles in article space?

== Glitch moves ==

We should have articles for them. They can be learned by numerous [[Glitch Pokémon]]. If it's OK, I'd like to volunteer myself to creating the articles for the glitch moves (such as {{m|TM28}} or {{m|Super Glitch}}). I will make the Super Glitch article, and start from there. --

== Some things i discovered ==

I found two things. I'll say the least important first, shall I?

The glitch move "TM05" sharply raises your EVADE stat.

The more important may be noticed more, and you might decide to make an article on it, unless I do.

It's a Glitch Pokemon - [Lots of glitched symbols]g[Some more glitched symbols] (I like to call him ||-g) On first capture it is apparently like a Rhydon. On second or later capture, it is a powerful Glitch Pokemon that (on lvl 42) comes with Mega Punch, TM05, Fire Punch and Growl ( i think )

It only comes when you put in the code that is meant to make wild Togepis come in Pokemon Red/Blue. Koga will challenge you (for some reason). And he has 6 "||-g"'s All at Lvl 42.

No probs, [[User:DarkraiDude|DarkraiDude ;)]]

== Movelist/evolution templates ==

We need to make a Glitch Pokémon-friendly movelist template thingy, one that DOESN'T link to that of different generations, as recent edits to [['M]] prove. Also, evolution templates. If they won't allow us to use the regular evolution template for 'M's article, then.... I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Lugia come with the [[ability]] {{a|Pressure}} which forces the opponent to increase [[Power Points|PP]] usage.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In [[Pokémon XD]], [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
None noticeable, however, this species is highly intelligent and one could possibly ask Lugia which gender it is (since the species can speak with humans in the same manner {{p|Mewtwo}} does). Unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:LugiaAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Lugia in the intro of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'']]A large [[Lugia (The Power of One)|Lugia]] was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed [[Silver (Whirl Islands)|Silver]] by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

==In the TFG==
One Lugia figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is one of the three legendary Pokémon whose location has changed between generations.
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and Latias are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of Gold Version and Silver Version, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." Even in the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ([[Natu]] and [[Xatu]]) come first. Also, no other {{t|Psychic}}/{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon have been introduced since. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.
Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the Stegosaurus (Back Plates and Tail Spikes) and the Pleisosaurus (Long Neck and Swimming Ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon. The name is also similar to Nintendo mascot Mario's brother Luigi.

==Trivia==
*At first glance, one might think that it is in the [[Humanshape (egg group)|Humanshape egg group]]. It isn't, however.
===Origin===
It appears to have been based on a {{wp|monkey}}, with an exaggerated concept of a {{wp|prehensile tail}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name comes from a combination of the prefix ''Ambi'', meaning ''both'', and what may be the word ''palm''.

The Japanese name may contain 猿 ''en'', monkey, 手 ''te'', hand, and the English word ''both'', referring to the hands on its tail. エテ ''ete'' can also be taken to mean ''monkey''.

'''Aipom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エイパム''' ''Eipam'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Aipom appear to be purple monkeys. Their beige faces have round eyes and a constantly cheeky smile. Along their heads are large, oval-shaped ears and a {{wp|cowlick}}. An Aipom's arms are completely purple with no actual paws nor fingers present, while they do have visible feet instead.

The most famous feature of this arboreal Pokémon is the three-fingered hand on the end of its tail. It uses its tail for many purposes, such as grappling onto tree branches, picking fruit and manipulating objects. It even uses its tail in most of its attacks. It uses its tail so much that its real arms aren't as dexterous as a result.

====Gender differences====
A female has a longer {{wp|cowlick}} on its head.

====Special abilities====
Aipom are very acrobatic and can therefore learn {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Bounce}} and {{m|U-turn}}. Aipom can also learn a couple of {{type2|Fighting}} moves, such as {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Even though Aipom doesn't seem to possess any claws, it can use slashing moves such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Aipom can also learn a few special-based moves, such as {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Some of Aipom's status moves include {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Baton Pass}} and the rarely seen {{m|Nasty Plot}}. Aipom is one of the few Pokémon that can evolve after learning a certain move. The move in Aipom's case is {{m|Double Hit}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Aipom banana.jpg|thumb|right|Aipom ate a banana.]]
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Aipom usually live in heavily wooded areas.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

In the anime, it was shown that Aipom like to eat bananas, similar to monkeys.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash_aipom.jpg|left|thumb|[[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash and Dawn's Aipom]]]]
Aipom first appeared in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', it was owned by a trainer named [[Lisa (movie)|Lisa]].

A group of Aipom were causing mischief in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

An Aipom made off with one of {{p|Delibird}}'s missing presents in ''[[Delibird's Dilemma]]''.

In ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'', an Aipom's tear was needed for a spell.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon]]'', a baby Aipom appeared in a Pokémon Egg Ranch.

A number of Aipom appeared in ''[[AG178|Slaking Kong]]''. One of them stole [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s hat.

In ''[[AG181|Channeling the Battle Zone]]'', [[Ash Ketchum]] captures the aforementioned [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]]. Her behavior is similar to that of [[Ash's Bayleef|Ash's Chikorita]]. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', he traded her to {{an|Dawn}} for {{AP|Buizel}} because Aipom was more interested in [[Contests]] and Buizel was more interested in [[Gym]]s. Aipom evolved into {{p|Ambipom}} in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unknown!]]'' protecting Dawn from attacking {{p|Unown}}.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Gold}} has an Aipom named Ataro.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Aipom makes a cameo in the "Eager {{p|Eevee}}" mini-game. Aipom is the one who lifts open the crate.
* [[Pokémon Trozei!]]: [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] owns an Aipom.

==Trivia==
*Aipom's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} sprites appeared to be dark in color, but were made slightly lighter in {{game|Crystal}}.
*Similar to {{p|Smoochum}} and {{p|Elekid}}, the color of Aipom's {{shiny2}} sprite in Gold and Silver Versions become the normal color. However, the purple was toned down a bit.
*Aipom is the only Pokémon that evolves by learning {{m|Double Hit}}.

===Origin===
It appears to have been based on a {{wp|monkey}}, with an exaggerated concept of a {{wp|prehensile tail}}.
====Name origin====
Aipom's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|ape}}'' and ''palm'', referring to the hand on its tail.

Talk:Hidden Power (move)

2008-09-01T02:03:32Z

FireHazard: /* Who */ new section

==Gen II & III==
if i give my Magneton Hidden Power in Gen II & III and it's type is one of the special types (grass, fire, water, etc..) does that mean it gets based on the Sp. Atk. or is it still physical because HP is technically a Normal-type attack? '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 02:50, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

:Let's take for instance, Hidder Power Bug. That'll be Physical, since Bug was a Physical type back in GenII and III. However, HP Ice'd be Special, since Ice is a Special type in II and III. Hope that clears up something. [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 02:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::not entirely. hows about, if i had HP Ice on Magneton, it would run off the Sp. Atk stat instead of attack (unlike a normal-type move) thus making it useful to me (because of Magnetons high Sp. Atk) or would it be physical because HP is technically a Normal-type attack? '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::It'd run off the Special stat, since there is no such thing as a Normal-type Hidden Power. (It really should be ???-type..) [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 03:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

:::well, let me see if i can make more sence. because its technically a Normal-type attack, does that make all types physical? as in, the only possible way before Gen IV to get a physical Ice or Psychic attack? or is it by the books, Electric = Sp. Fighting = Phys. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::::No, whether the Hidden Power attacking type (Before GenIV)'d be determined by what elemental type. For example, an Ice-type Hidden Power'd be Special (since in everything but GenIV), but a Fighting-type HP'd be Physical. [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 03:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::::great, guess im off to breed Magnemites to get a Grass-type hidden power then! TAKE THAT QUAGSIRE!!! '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:17, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

==HP==
Hidden Power is often referred to as 'HP' by competitive battlers. However, if you search HP on Bulbapedia, you are redirected to the stats page. This could be confusing to a new player. I think maybe a disambiguation is in order, or at least a mention of it on the page. [[User:Cheesus Is Lord|Cheesus Is Lord]] 13:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
:How new do you have to be to not know about Hidden Power. I'll see what I can do. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

==Power?==
How do you determine Hidden power's power? [[User:SLE_aman|SLE_aman]]

== Hidden Power and STAB ==

Under Movesets, Hidden Power is bolded as being a STAB for Normal-type Pokémon. However, since (i) Hidden Power's type and magnitude depends on variable stats for each ''individual'' Pokémon, let alone each species, and (ii) there is no such thing as a Normal-type Hidden Power that can be activated, should this bolding be discontinued? Thanks. --[[User:CharleyUcheaLulz|CharleyUcheaLulz]] 02:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

== Who ==

I thought that Hidden Power varies depending on its surroundings and not Pokémon? -- [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 02:03, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Lickilicky''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベロベルト''' ''Berobelt'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. It is the evolved form of {{p|Lickitung}}.

==Biology==
Lickilicky is one of several Pokémon of [[Generation IV]] that evolve from a Pokémon from a previous generation, Lickitung. It does so when it knows the move {{M|Rollout}} and [[Level|levels up]], but only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

===Physiology===
Much like it pre-evolution, Lickilicky is fat in appearance. However, it is slightly darker in skin tone. It has a small tail and a long tongue. It has a yellow line pattern on its belly and a white bib like pattern.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Lickilicky can learn {{m|Explosion}}, meaning that it is the only {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon (besides {{P|Smeargle}} through its unique {{M|Sketch}} move) that can learn Explosion and receive a [[same-type attack bonus]] from it as well.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Lickilicky live in forests with a large body of water, like Lickitung.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:BaronAlbertoLickilicky.JPG|right|thumb|[[Baron Alberto]] after getting transformed into a Lickilicky.]][[Image:Lickilicky anime.JPG|left|thumb|Ash looking at Lickilicky and [[Baron Alberto|its trainer]].]]
Lickilicky's first appearance in the anime was in [[The Rise of Darkrai|the tenth Pokémon movie]]. [[Baron Alberto|Its trainer]] also gets turned into a Lickilicky, catching on the pun title "Baron Lickilicky".

==Trivia==
* Lickilicky would have been obtainable in both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] if it had existed, as in both there was a possible way to get a {{p|Lickitung}} that had {{m|Rollout}}. It shares this trait with {{p|Mamoswine}}.
* In the tenth Pokémon movie, Lickilicky's trainer, [[Baron Alberto]], has his name very similar to Lickilicky's Japanese name, "Beroberto". His first name, "Baron," has an "n" added to the end, and the "e" changed to an "a". "Alberto" is just an addition of "Al" to the beginning of "Berto."
===Origin===
It appears to be based on a blue-tongued skink.
====Name origin====
Lickilicky's name is simply a repetition of the word ''lick''.

Its Japanese name may be a combination of ベロ ''bero'', tongue, べろべろ, ''berobero'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for a licking sound, べろべろ嘗める ''beroberonameru'', to lick up with one's tongue, and べろっと ''berotto'', licking or sticking out one's tongue.

Its German name, Schlurplek, comes from ''Schlurp'' and {{tt|lecken|to lick}}. Its French name, Coudlangue, comes from {{tt|coup de langue|pointed remark, but literally ''tongue stroke''}}.

[[Jessie's Lickitung|Lickitung]] was first seen in ''[[EP052|Princess Versus Princess]]''. [[Jessie]] captured it and used in the Princess Festival Tournament against [[Misty]]. After defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and [[Brock's Vulpix]], it lost to [[Misty's Psyduck]]. Jessie accidentally traded her Lickitung for [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Benny's Wobbuffet]] in ''[[EP146|Tricks Of The Trade]]''.

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
* Lickitung was originally to be called ''Tonguetyd'' but this changed before the release of the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Even though it was repeatedly stated to attack using licks, it was not able to learn {{m|Lick}} until [[Generation II]].
* Prior to Generation IV, Lickitung can learn {{m|Rollout}} by [[TM04]] during [[Generation II]], or when purified in {{g|XD}} or [[move tutor|tutored]] the move in {{game|Emerald}}. In Diamond and Pearl, Lickitung [[Methods_of_evolution#Others|needs to know the move Rollout to evolve]]. Of course, it could not evolve into {{p|Lickilicky}} before this, because it had not been created yet. This makes it and {{p|Piloswine}} the only Pokémon which met their Generation IV evolution criteria in games of prior generations.

===Origin===
It may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, commonly the [[wp:Blue-tongued skink|blue-tongued lizard]].
====Name origin====
Lickitung's name is a combination and corruption of ''lick'' and ''tongue''. The ''bero'' in ''Beroringa'' may be derived from ベロ ''bero'', tongue, べろべろ, ''berobero'', an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for a licking sound, or べろべろ嘗める ''beroberonameru'', to lick up with one's tongue. ''Ringer'' is most likely derived from English ''ring'', referring to the patterns on its body. It is also possible that ''ringa'' is a corruption of the English word ''lingua'', which refers to a tongue or an organ resembling a tongue [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lingua].

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schlurp - This name comes from the word ''slurp''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Excelangue - ''Excellent'' means excellent, and ''langue'' means tongue. The word as a whole sounds like ''excellent''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 내루미 ''Naerumi''

"Whitney owns a Igglybuff"... are you a ''toddler''? Also, someone who knows something about the manga, please add content. - [[User:TheGrammarian|TheGrammarian]]

Additionally, the wording in the trivia section is intensely confusing; could someone with access to the shiny sprites rephrase it in a way that actually makes sense? - [[User:TheGrammarian|TheGrammarian]]

== Hyperlink ==

For the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon phrases, for the 51%-100% phrase, the phrase is:
If I start [[Rollout (move)|rolling]], I can't stop! Please, help me if I do!

Rolling refers to the move Rollout. Somebody put a hyperlink on '''rolling''', which links to the article on Rollout. Igglybuff '''doesn't''' learn Rollout. Then why would somebody put the hyperlink? -- [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 01:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Dude, Pikachu looks *nothing* like a pika. Seriously.

It does in pictures I saw in National Geographic...[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 05:46, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Not in any pictures I've ever seen. Pikas look more like nutrias to me.

I don't now what nutrias are, but I ''do'' know that Pikachu looks like a rabbit.

Regarding the name origin, I've been told that pikapika is an "expression for the brightness of gold", not simply just meaning sparkle. Can someone confirm? --[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] 13:26, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It is a very broad sound symbolism for sparkle - from ''daiya-ga pikapika hikaru'' (diamonds sparkle) to ''pikapika-no kagu'' (well-polished furniture), from ''hoshi-ga pikapika hikaru'' (stars twinkle) to ''pikapika-no ichinensei'' (not even going to try to figure this one out).

==Kanto Native?==
I noticed that in the games, Pikachu can only be found "in the wild" in the Kanto Region. In GSC, Pikachu was only on Route 2 in Kanto, in RSE, it was only in the Safari Zone, which contained only "imported" Pokemon (that is, no Generation III Pokemon), and in DP, it's only in the Trophy Garden, a place that's basically confirmed to be importing Pokemon from other regions.

These "coincidences" lead me to believe that Pikachu is native to the Kanto Region, and its appearance everywhere else is due to humans bringing them to other locals.

Ignoring anamonlies like Pokemon Ranger, would it be a stretch to say that Pikachu are normally found only in Kanto as a piece of Trivia?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 19:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Mystery Dungeon is set in a different dimension. However, Fiore is an established region with links to the world of the main RPGs. Starter Pokémon have to be found wild somewhere so being specific to Fiore where trainers are not found makes a lot of sense. The only fossil there is Aerodactyl, which is suitably found in an ancient area, not that fossils are that special any more.

Question: What moves can Sketch not copy? Asking because it says almost any move. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 03:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:I don't believe Sketch can copy Selfdestruct or Explosion since a Pokémon using one of those moves would faint afterwards, either ending the battle or bringing in another opponent. Plus, Smeargle would likely need to be at a MUCH higher level in order of survive such an attack.
*Sketch can copy any move, as it works on moves disabled by things such as paralysis or sleep. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 03:47, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*Everything but Struggle. --[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 03:51, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Say you in a Double Battle. Your Pokemon are a Smeargle that wants to Sketch move X, and Pokemon Y that knows move X. Pokemon Y is faster than Smeargle. Pokemon Y is asleep. For Pokemon Y, you select move X. For Smeargle, you select Sketch and target Pokemon Y. Pokemon Y's turn executes: nothing happens, as it is asleep. Smeargle's turn executes: Smeargle Sketches move X as if Pokemon Y had used it. End of battle, Smeargle now knows move X. So basically, for Sketch to work, the target need only have *selected* the move-to-be-sketched, not necessarily have used it. This method works for every move except Struggle, which of course cannot be selected. This only works in Gen3, not in Gen2. --[[User:MasamuneXGP|MasamuneXGP]] 04:02, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sketch can copy Selfdestruct and Explosion. Just be in a double battle. You must have Smeargle and something with Selfdestruct/Explosion. One opponent must have Damp. Use SD/EX. It will fail due to damp. Sketch it.

I have successfully sketched Transform in a double battle. the Smeargle must know Dig, Dive, Fly, Bounce, or Shadow Force. Have Ditto transform into Smeargle and Smeargle use 2-turn move (Ditto must be slower (Lagging tail, anyone?). Transform will fail due to lack of target. next turn, have Smeargle use Sketch on Ditto, do whatever with Ditto (except switch out). Sketch will successfully copy Transform.

Lunar Dance; Smeargle and Cresselia must be your ONLY party members. Go into 2v2 battle and use Lunar Dance. It will fail. Sketch it. I'd assume Healing Wish works similarly.

Lol. But seriously, it should be left on the Glitch page. Now that we have Missingno. on this page, we may aswell start new pages for other Glitch types for all of the other Glitch Pokémon, and that's just plain ridiculous. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
:{{t|Bird}}. All I gotta say. Either way, no Missingno. should not appear here. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

== The Attack chart... ==

really needs to be completed. It's just wrong to have some attacks and not others, as well as inconveniant. We should put it up on other type pages, too.[[User:DittytheDitto|DittytheDitto]] 15:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

== Stats ==

According to the article, the Normal type is one of the best defensive types. I believe that. But if that is the case, why is the Defense and Special Defence stats so low? It is just 56 and 61 respectively. Can the stats be checked?
[[User:FireHazard|FireHazard]] 09:58, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

== Changer of type! ==

Should Arceus really be included in the list of pure Normal-type Pokémon? After all, its type changes depending on the plate it holds.

==Trivia==
* Although its English and French names suggest that it is exclusively male, female Mr. Mime are just as common as males, and in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, [[Sabrina]] herself has a female Mr. Mime as one of her Pokémon.
* The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} was nicknamed Marcel. This is possibly an homage to the late {{wp|Marcel Marceau}}. However, this was not kept in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Mimien.
* There was a guest villain in an episode of {{wp|The Powerpuff Girls}} named "Mr. Mime".
* Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands, but in [[Generation III]] it was given an extra finger. It should be noted that the anime version of Mr. Mime always had five fingers.
===Origin===
It appears that it is based on a combination between a {{wp|clown}} and a mime - together with a popular pantomime, pretending to be trapped in {{wp|invisible box}}es.

Mr. Mime was probably inspired by ''{{wp|Marcel Marceau|le Mime Marceau}}'' the most famous French mime in the world.
====Name origin====
Mr. Mime's name simply refers to {{wp|mime}}s. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''barrier'' and ''weird'' - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls - or ''barrier'' and ''barricade''. Its German name comes from the word ''pantomime''. Mr. Mime's French name is M. Mime (M. which is the official abbreviation of ''Monsieur'').

'''Poison Tail''' is a {{t|Poison}}-type move introduced in [[Generation III]] that deals a small amount of damage. It may also [[Status ailment|poison]] the foe. It is Seviper's [[signature move]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Poison Tail Anime.jpg|none|thumb|240px|Seviper using '''Poison Tail'''.]]
The Pokémon's tail glows light purple and uses it to slash at the foe.

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Seviper}}'''. The body part that uses the move is from the end of the purple ring in its tail to the tip of it. Seviper uses its long body to amplify the force of the move and the damage.
* Used by [[Jessie's Seviper]] from [[AG008|''A Tail with a Twist'']], and has become its signature move. '''Debut'''.
