== Username Change Request ==

Hi there. Looking to change my username so as to not include parts of my name anymore and maybe for consistency across socials. Hoping I can get KingKairos, but I believe somebody may already have an account under this name. If that's the case, ApexAxiom would be my backup option.

The '''Rising Volt Tacklers''' (Japanese: '''ライジングボルテッカーズ''' ''Rising Volteccers'') is a team of adventurers led by [[Friede]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}. Initially, it was founded by Friede, [[Captain Pikachu]], [[Orla]], and [[Ludlow]] in [[Hoenn]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers travel around the {{pkmn|world}} aboard their airship and base of operations, the [[Brave Olivine]]. After [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] joined them at the beginning of the series, their main mission became to find and gather the [[Six Heroes]], which led them to become the archenemies of the [[Explorers]].

After Friede's disappearance in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', the Explorers framed the team as villains, which forced them to disband and its members to go their separate ways. In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', the team was re-formed with most of the original members rejoining at the Brave Olivine in [[Galar]], now with the goal to stop the Explorers' plans and reveal the truth about the Rising Volt Tacklers to the world. In [[HZ122]], Roy is acknowledged by Friede as the founder of the new Rising Volt Tacklers and officially becomes the leader.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Pre-series===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers formed.png|thumb|250px|The formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Sometime prior to the events of the series, the [[Pokémon Professor]] [[Friede]] was [[fishing]] in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} and his former mentor [[Ludlow]]. Friede met up with a teacher of his, [[Lucca]], who wanted him to meet someone. Upon meeting a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] trying to fly, Friede decided to do research on him and tried to befriend the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}}. Although he failed to befriend {{P|Pikachu}}, Friede didn't give up as he offered the Mouse Pokémon some food. Eventually, Friede decided to fly up to sky to see why Pikachu wanted to fly, realizing that he wanted to see the horizons. Seeing Pikachu falling, Friede and Charizard saved him, winning his friendship. Friede asked Pikachu to be his partner, which he accepted. Later, Friede asked Ludlow if he can have his boat and was okay with it. The two arrived in [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] where Friede met up with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and asked her to turn Ludlow's boat into an airship. Through her help, the boat turned into the [[Brave Olivine]] and the four of them formed the Rising Volt Tacklers. Also, Friede decided to [[nickname]] his partner Captain Pikachu.

Later, the four of them met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, but Wy-Yes eventually decided to leave the team in order to become a journalist for [[Occulture]]. Sometime after Wy-Yes left, Murdock's niece [[Dot]] (who is a well-known streamer known as Nidothing) joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. During their adventures, the Rising Volt Tacklers had various Pokémon from all the different regions settle in with them when they decided to make the Brave Olivine their home. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca, who was reached out by her mother, [[Diana]], as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in the [[Kanto]] region, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Explorers.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Friede]] facing the [[Explorers]] for the first time]]
The Rising Volt Tacklers debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. They first appeared looking for Liko at Indigo Academy, but they failed to find her because all the students were wearing the same uniforms. Despite this, they decided to try again in finding Liko during the school break with Friede going back to Indigo Academy by himself in order to find her. When Liko clashed with the members of the [[Explorers]], Friede appeared to help her. After nearly getting hit by {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}'s {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Liko and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} were protected by the power of her mysterious pendant.

In the [[HZ002|following episode]], Friede took Liko to the Rising Volt Tacklers' airship, where she had her first interaction with the rest of the group. Before Liko could ask more about them, the ship was intercepted by members of the Explorers and another battle between Friede and [[Amethio]] ensued. After Liko almost gave herself to the Explorers, her Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the force field around the Wing Deck, but got blown overboard in the process, allowing Amethio to capture her before fleeing with his group.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede revealed that Liko's mother hired the Rising Volt Tacklers to protect her. The group went to the city where the Explorers were last seen, and [[Murdock's Rockruff]] managed to smell Sprigatito's scent in [[Onia]]. Friede, Liko, and Rockruff chased her back to their temporary base, where Friede engaged Amethio again in a battle to allow for Liko and Rockruff to find where Sprigatito was held captive. After being reunited with her Pokémon, Liko decided to trust in the Rising Volt Tacklers and became part of the group, whose next destination was Paldea.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Black Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] for the first time]]
[[HZ004|Throughout]] their [[HZ005|journey]] to get Liko to Paldea, the Rising Volt Tacklers met a boy named [[Roy]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he helped them repair their ship. Roy [[HZ006|eventually]] decided to join the Rising Volt Tacklers on their adventures, after forming a bond with a {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} that lived with them as he became his first Pokémon and an encounter with a [[Black Rayquaza]] that came out of his [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. The Rising Volt Tacklers helped Liko and Roy become [[HZ007|better at Pokémon battles]]. In addition, Liko and Roy learned of the existence of Dot (who was hiding in her room from the rest of the crew and Liko and Roy up until that point) as they [[HZ008|attempted]] to make friends with her.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Paldea. After Friede failed to reach Liko's mother, they decided to head over to her house as [[Alex]], her father, was home. However, Liko overheard Alex talking to Friede, as he expressed how worried he was about her being on her own and expressed a desire for her to attend school in Paldea. Liko decided to head back to the ship for the night, but was not able to fall sleep. Through Orla and Mollie's advice and a drawing Dot made for her, Liko made up her mind as she left the ship to go back home to tell Alex her decision. Upon arriving home, Liko told her father that she wanted to continue traveling with the Rising Volt Tacklers and attend online classes at the Indigo Academy, which he understood and accepted her decision.
[[File:Liko and Roy with Arboliva.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] with [[Lucius's Arboliva]]]]
Following a lead from Alex and [[Brassius]] [[HZ010|about]] the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers [[HZ011|investigated]] [[Arboliva's Forest]] where they met a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} that had another Ancient Poké Ball and saw the damage that a forest fire caused to it. The Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to restore the forest and eventually witnessed Liko's pendant reveal an [[Pagogo|unknown Pokémon]], which showed her and Roy a vision. After Arboliva decided to join them, Liko and Roy discovered that it and the Black Rayquaza belonged to [[Lucius]], the Ancient Adventurer. Friede also found out about this through Lucca as she told him that she knew the legend thanks to her mother. Liko [[HZ012|decided]] to meet with her grandmother in [[Galar]] to learn more about her pendant.

However, [[HZ013|before]] they could set off for Galar, they were ambushed by [[Spinel]] of the Explorers who was able to steal [[HZ014|Liko's pendant]] by using his {{p|Beheeyem}} to put her in a trance, which led her to lose part of her [[HZ015|memory]]. While most of the crew was searching for Liko, Dot had some help in streamer and [[Levincia]] [[Gym Leader]] {{an|Iono}} in finding her. Dot decided to leave the airship in order to find Liko, causing Roy to finally meet her in person. Meanwhile, Liko was able to recover the memories she lost while under Beheeyem's trance and met up with Roy and Dot, meeting the latter for the first time. After reuniting with Friede, Liko realized that her pendant was stolen, so the Rising Volt Tacklers made a plan to get it back from Spinel. Dot officially became a [[HZ016|Pokémon Trainer]] with the {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} that have been living with the Rising Volt Tacklers as her first Pokémon. After they managed to get Liko's pendant back from Spinel, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off for the Galar region.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers vs Moltres.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling [[Lucius's Moltres]]]]
During [[HZ017|their]] [[HZ018|journey]] to Galar, the younger members became curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during a battle against Roy's Fuecoco and {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}}. After failing to get an answer from Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot asked the rest of the members, but no luck. However, their question did get the rest of the members curious as well, turning to Friede for answers. Although he was reluctant to answer their question, Friede decided to tell them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers. In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Galar. They decided that their first stop was at [[Motostoke]] before heading to [[Hammerlocke]] by train.

However, [[HZ020|after hearing from]] [[Kabu]] that he saw the Black Rayquaza flying to the west of Motostoke, they [[HZ021|decided]] to take a detour to the [[Galar Mine]]. Here, Liko, Roy, and Friede [[HZ022|encountered]] the Explorers again and they battle them. However, a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrived and attacked them, which led to Captain Pikachu getting injured. Fortunately, Liko and Roy managed to bring Captain Pikachu out of the mine while Friede continued his battle against Amethio. [[HZ023|After recovering]] at the Motostoke's [[Pokémon Center]], Liko and Roy reunited with Friede and the three of them decided to confront Moltres again in order to calm it down. Through their teamwork, they were able to do it. After Terapagos reappeared, they saw a vision and Moltres decided to join them, returning to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, Terapagos didn't return to its pendant form, as {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}} sensed its presence and revealed it to her Trainer. Friede hid Terapagos while he, Liko, and Roy decided to take it to the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet Terapagos.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers properly meeting [[Pagogo|Terapagos]]]]
[[HZ024|After showing the rest of their teammates Terapagos]], Liko, Roy, and Friede headed for Hammerlocke to find the [[ancient castle]] that Diana was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, they were able to meet with Diana, who explained her past and the history of Terapagos. However, they were ambushed by the Explorers, who followed them to their location in order to take Terapagos. [[HZ025|Fortunately]], they were able to escape with Diana joining them as she showed Liko information about Lucius and his remaining Pokémon. [[HZ026|After Terapagos did some exploring of its surroundings]], Diana gave Liko a belt that was owned by Lucius to hold the Ancient Poké Balls. Liko then told her friends that she wanted to find Lucius's remaining Pokémon and look for [[Laqua]], which they agreed. However, due to not having a lot of information of the three remaining Pokémon, they decided to continue pursuing Black Rayquaza. [[HZ027|After Dot got misled in finding information about the Black Rayquaza's whereabouts]], Roy decided to ask someone if they knew anything about the Ancient Poké Balls, which Diana tells him that she knows someone who could help. [[HZ028|However]], Diana's friend [[Tepen]] turned out to have turned into stealing. Fortunately, Liko, Diana, and their friends helped Tepen realize the error of his ways. Although Tepen wasn't able to help them get information about the Ancient Poké Balls, Liko and her friends were able to get intel on a contact of his. [[HZ029|Through Tepen's information]], Liko and her friends met [[Karna]] as she designs Poké Balls, but couldn't help them with information about the Ancient Poké Balls either.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers meet with Lapras.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers meeting with [[Lucius's Lapras]] and its "pirate crew"]]
Due to not getting the information they needed about the Ancient Poké Balls, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to continue their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. [[HZ030|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Polteageist}} and {{p|Sinistea}} that decided to live on the Brave Olivine. [[HZ031|Eventually]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got information about a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} and they realized that it had to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, so they decided to investigate. After finding it, they failed to see it because of the {{m|Mist}} covering it and the younger members witnessed two Pokémon appearing on the ship. However, through Friede's plan, the Rising Volt Tacklers were able to see Lapras with scars and they found out that it used the mist to cover any ship that went nearby to give to its fellow Pokémon the chance to steal the food cargo on them. After preventing the group from stealing anything, the Rising Volt Tacklers followed Lapras and its group. [[HZ032|However]], they were stopped when Lapras used {{m|Ice Beam}} on the ship. Liko, Roy, and Friede decided to confront Lapras on their own. Terapagos attempted to reason with Lapras, even bringing out Arboliva and Moltres for help. Liko, Roy, and Friede were then shown another vision of Lucius. After spending time with Lapras and its friends, the Rising Volt Tacklers got ready to leave. However, Lapras decided to join them as its friends encouraged to go with them and it returned into its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Terapagos and Rayquaza.png|thumb|250px|left|Terapagos facing the Black Rayquaza]]
[[HZ033|Before setting off]], the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving to their location. However, after Amethio battled and got defeated by the Black Rayquaza, the Rising Volt Tacklers witnessed Terapagos transforming and battling the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Unfortunately, Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left. Later, Diana told Friede that she was planning to travel alone again, which he understood and accepted her decision. The next day, Liko and Roy did a training battle with Diana, which led them to victory when Sprigatito landed a hit on Diana's {{p|Arcanine}}. After the battle, Liko and Roy thanked Diana for the experience, as it will help them be better Trainers. [[HZ034|Upon hearing of Diana's departure]], Liko and Roy decided to do a surprise farewell party. Through the rest of the members help, Liko and Roy were able to surprise Diana, which she appreciated. Before leaving, Diana gave Liko her adventure log. After dropping Diana off, the Rising Volt Tacklers agree to continue their search for the remaining Six Heroes. However, before doing so, the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to return to Paldea for information on Terapagos.

[[HZ035|During their return journey to Paldea]], the Rising Volt Tacklers began to run out of funds needed to pay for supplies, so the adults decided to take some jobs in order to raise money. After Friede got a job request from a [[Shine|friend]] of his, he took the assignment with Liko and Roy accompanying him. They were able to fulfill the job and stop a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}. [[HZ037|Also]], Friede got another job assignment from another friend of his who is the leader of a group of {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}, as they were having trouble with a group of {{p|Sandile}} and its {{p|Krokorok|evolved}} {{p|Krookodile|forms}}. Fortunately, Roy found out the problem but, to their disappointment, for this reason the Rising Volt Tacklers were no longer needed to do the job. [[HZ038|Also]], the Rising Volt Tacklers took in a wild {{p|Maushold}} when it decided to come live on the Brave Olivine until [[HZ094|it eventually]] [[HZ121|decided to go with]] Mollie. [[HZ041|In addition]], Dot was reunited with her mother, as she came to bring her home because her time with the team was a trial period, but let her stay as a permanent member of the team, after seeing her friendship with her Pokémon partners, Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}, Liko, and Roy, and having a battle against each other.
[[File:HZ045.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the first time]]
In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back in Paldea. [[HZ042|Sometime after returning to Paldea]], the [[HZ043|team]] [[HZ044|learned]] of the Explorers' plan to capture the Black Rayquaza and decided to investigate a mysterious tower they had built near Levincia. However, when Friede entered the tower, it turned out to actually be a trap set up by Spinel, locking Friede up inside while the rest of the Explorers admins started the capture operation at a lighthouse outside of Levincia. Liko, Roy, and Ludlow hurried to the site to stop them, with the rest of the team moving the Brave Olivine to the site as well to allow Dot to jump down to the lighthouse and use a shutdown program on the device the Explorers had used to summon Rayquaza. While Friede successfully escaped from Spinel's trap and Roy managed to stop [[Chalce]] from catching Rayquaza, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}} shower started devastating the scenery and [[Coral]] made a reckless attack on Rayquaza in a rage by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, sending Rayquaza crashing straight into the Brave Olivine and severely damaging it. Fortunately, Murdock was able to safely land the Brave Olivine. [[HZ045|After the Explorers retreated]], Liko, Roy, Dot and Friede battled Rayquaza. Despite having help from Amethio, the four of them couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and the Legendary Pokémon left once again. In the aftermath of the battle, Liko, Roy, and Dot decided to learn more about the Terastal phenomenon and be able to use it in battle. As such, they went to study at [[Naranja Academy]], while the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers focused on repairing the Brave Olivine.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ074.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko, Roy, and [[Dot]] battling [[Lucius's Kleavor]]]]
[[HZ046|During]] [[HZ049|their]] [[HZ050|time]] [[HZ054|doing]] [[HZ057|repairs]] to the airship, the Rising Volt Tacklers took a group of wild {{p|Tatsugiri}} as new traveling companions. After the repairs on the Brave Olivine were finished and the younger members were done with their studies at Naranja Academy, the Rising Volt Tacklers set off to search for the Six Heroes once more in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. Their first destination was the land of [[Kitakami]], planning to meet up with the Terapagos researcher [[Briar]]. After arriving in Kitakami and [[HZ069|spending an evening]] at the local [[Countryside Harvest Festival]], the team learned from [[Carmine]] that Briar was currently at the [[Crystal Pool]] on [[Oni Mountain]]. Friede and the junior members of the team [[HZ070|subsequently]] [[HZ071|traveled]] there, meeting Briar and exchanging information about Terapagos with her. While both sides learned a lot, the Rising Volt Tacklers didn't gain any new leads, so they decided to focus on finding the remaining three members of the Six Heroes for now.

Through an unexpected stroke of luck, Dot discovered that a photographer named [[Perrin]] had seen {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} in Kitakami. [[HZ072|Through]] [[HZ073|Perrin's help]], Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede found Kleavor. After some convincing from Lapras, having a battle with the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers and seeing Liko's selfness for Pokémon, Kleavor showed her, Roy, Dot, and Friede a vision of Lucius of the day they meet. Kleavor then decided to join the group and it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ076.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Diana]] summoning [[Rystal]] at the [[Crystal Pool]]]]
[[HZ074|The next day]], Liko and her friends reunite with Diana, as they exchanged information about the Explorers. After returning to the Crystal Pool and were able to summon [[Rystal]], a member of the original Explorers, Liko and the group found out that she and Lucius were her great-great grandparents. Liko and the group then [[HZ075|listened]] to Rystal telling everyone how she formed the Explorers with Lucius and [[Gibeon]] and they were able to reach Laqua. However, Liko and the group had to bid farewell to Rystal when she had to return to her proper time. Liko and the group then bid farewell to Diana, as she intended to continue traveling her own way. [[HZ076|Through Wy-Yes's help]], the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head to [[Olivine City]] in the [[Johto]] region in order to search for {{p|Entei}}. In ''[[HZ077|Ludlow's Homecoming!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Johto. [[HZ078|After falling to find Entei in Johto]], the Rising Volt Tacklers head back to Paldea when Briar revealed that a Pokémon similar to Entei had been spotted in [[Area Zero]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|170px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the Black Rayquaza for the second time]]
In ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea. After Liko, Roy, and Dot defeated [[Geeta]], together with Friede, [[HZ080|they entered Area Zero]] and met up with Briar. [[HZ081|Upon finding the Pokémon similar to Entei]], they realized that it was a [[Paradox Pokémon]] named {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. The four Rising Volt Tacklers battled Gouging Fire when it wanted to test their strength. Through their teamwork, they defeated Gouging Fire, who showed them a vision of when it first met Lucius. Gouging Fire then decided to join the group and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball. However, it and the rest of the Six Heroes come out to summon the Black Rayquaza, who arrived at the group's location. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Friede [[HZ082|battled]] the Black Rayquaza once again and, after a tough battle, they were able to return Rayquaza to its Ancient Poké Ball. Rayquaza then showed them a vision of the original Explorers reaching Laqua. The group then bid farewell to Briar and, following Rayquaza, [[HZ083|made their way to the paradise]].
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|right|The Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]] battling [[Gibeon]] and his [[White Zygarde]]]]
In ''[[HZ084|Where the Land Meets the Sky]]'', after stopping at [[Pericarp Town]] near Laqua, Friede and the younger members journeyed to the paradise, with the Six Heroes helping along the way. [[HZ085|Upon entering Laqua]], Friede and the younger members explored until they came across the barrier, which Pagogo removed. [[HZ086|However]], Friede and the younger members were then confronted by the Explorers. [[HZ087|Although they were able to defeat the Explorers admins]], Friede and the younger members were too late to prevent Gibeon from reaching the [[Laquium]]. Fortunately, Gibeon's [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] was only trying to free Lucius from the Laquium. Friede and the younger members met Lucius, as he explained to them that he was able to see the outside world through Zygarde. Due to Friede's partners going berserk from the Laquium and knocking each other out, the younger members with Amethio battled Gibeon. [[HZ088|However]], Zygarde forfeited the battle because it was testing their strength and resolve, as it bid its Trainer farewell and disassembled itself.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Spinel released his own supply of Laquium that he had gathered after Pagogo and the Six Heroes purified the land. This act caused the Six Heroes, barring Rayquaza, to go berserk and indiscriminately attack anything in their sight. Rayquaza shielded the Rising Volt Tacklers from its comrades' attacks and ordered them to escape, but as the Brave Olivine attempted to leave, a strong gust of wind caught Friede and his Pokémon off-guard. Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the ship. Afterwards, the group started flying around the area looking for Friede, but couldn't find him. Meanwhile, Spinel had the entire area around Laqua closed off, and later publicly framed the Rising Volt Tacklers for the destruction at Laqua, casting them as a dangerous group to the public eye. With their original task completed and being unable to function without Friede, the group made the decision to disband; Liko returned to [[Indigo Academy]], Roy going on a [[HZ112|training]] [[HZ113|journey]] [[HZ114|in the]] [[Kalos]] region, and Dot returning to her home.
[[File:Re-formed Rising Volt Tacklers MV.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers re-formed by Roy, Dot, and Liko]]
A year after the events at Laqua, in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Dot and Roy discovered a case of Laquium affecting a wild {{p|Slaking}}, and after the boy and [[Ult]] defeated it, Roy decided to visit the Indigo Academy to ask for Liko's help in finding more signs of Laquium. [[HZ091|After reuniting with her]], Roy explained the situation. At first, Liko refused to help him and Dot, as she was accustomed to being at Indigo Academy and didn't want everyone there to know she was a Rising Volt Tackler out of fear of bearing the group's tarnished reputation. However, after seeing Roy battling [[Ann]] and having a battle against him herself, Liko ultimately decided to join and assist in clearing the group's name while revealing the truth to the public.

In ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Liko and Roy tracked down a Laquium sign that Dot found, and ended up battling a pair of Laquium affected {{p|Steelix}}, alongside Ult, who had been following Roy. In the process, Roy and Ult showcased [[Mega Evolution]], with Liko learning about it for the first time.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', Liko and Roy reunited with Mollie, who had returned to the family Pokémon Center at [[Mochew City]]. Mollie disapproved of their decision to restart the team, but after working together to calm a Laquium-afflicted {{p|Vileplume}} down, ultimately respected their decision. The two offered her a spot back in the team, but she declined for the time being, as she knew that she needed to be at the Pokémon Center. Before they parted ways, she promised to them that she would return when the team was fully reunited.
[[File:Ult joins Rising Volt Tacklers.png|250px|thumb|[[Ult]] joining the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', after Ult saw the effects of the [[Strong Sphere]] on Pokémon, he saved Liko and Roy after their Pokémon were defeated in a [[Double Battle]] by Coral and Sidian. He proceeded to join the two on their journey. In ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', after Liko and Roy reunited with the Black Rayquaza, which was under the protection of [[Team Dragon Rampage]], Dot called and informed the two that Murdock had returned to [[Cortondo]] to work with [[Katy]]. In ''[[HZ098|Reunion in Cortondo]]'', the three and Ult met with Murdock at Cortondo. Like Mollie, Murdock disapproved of their decision to restart the team, despite Liko's insistence that they knew what they were getting into. Katy suggested a Pokémon battle to alleviate Murdock's concerns, and in the official rematch, Liko defeated Katy. Impressed by her growth, Murdock ultimately respected their decision and informed them that the Brave Olivine had been dismantled, with its parts being stored in Galar. With this knowledge in hand, the group decided to look for Orla and left Cortondo. Murdock confessed to Katy that he wanted to travel with them despite the fact that he suggested that they disband after the events in Laqua, fearing that he would hold them back. Katy told Murdock that the others had already done so despite their circumstances, causing him to realize the meaning of her words.

In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult went to Galar to look for Orla, and it was revealed that Orla had lied about the ship's condition. Rather than dismantling it, she had kept it hidden in a forest, maintaining it from time to time, and the wild Pokémon (apart from Maushold) remained onboard. [[HZ100|After Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult defeated two members of the Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], Orla decided to join them in officially re-forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as the five worked together to clean and rebuild the Brave Olivine. Ludlow, Murdock, and Mollie returned to the team, with Ult deciding to become an official member of the group. Dot then discovered a message had been sent to their app a month prior. After decrypting it and showing it to everyone else, they found out that it was from Friede, who was revealed to be alive and well but in hiding from the Explorers.
[[File:Young Rising Volt Tacklers.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot, Liko, Roy, and Ult deciding to train at [[Blueberry Academy]] in [[Unova]]]]
In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea through Dot's suggestion in going to Naranja Academy because everyone there knows the Explorers true nature. Although Dot is able to give Geeta and Clavell the information she had on Laquium and while they understand the situation, they aren't able to help them further without more evidence, but they recommended asking [[Jacq]] for help in their research, which he accepted. Dot also gets a map of Paldea from Penny that shows Laquium Signs around the region. [[HZ102|After returning to the Brave Olivine]], the younger members decided to check out a Laquium Sign near their location. During their investigation, Dot reminds everyone that they need funds to travel around if they want to spread the truth about Laquium, as Roy remembers that most of their funds came from Friede and Captain Pikachu doing various jobs. Later, after Liko, her Pokémon and a {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, who decided to become one of her partners, stopped the Laquium Sign, Dot gets a video message from Iono asking for a handshake event as their next collaboration, which she reluctantly agrees to hold it as a [[HZ103|means to earn some money]]. Also, a wild {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} stowed away on the Brave Olivine until Dot decided to [[HZ105|add it to her team]].

[[HZ106|After]] [[HZ107|Roy and Ult infiltrated an Explorers base]], Diana [[HZ108|comes]] for a visit to give the Rising Volt Tacklers information on how to eliminate Laquium once and for all. Also, Diana tells the Rising Volt Tacklers that Spinel has the remaining Six Heroes held captive with Ult backing up her claim, as he saw Lapras and Kleavor trapped in boxes when he was in the Explorers base. Wanting to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to find which Exceed building they are being held in, as they realized that Spinel moved them in order to prevent them from finding them. Liko suggests they ask [[Cervantis]], the former Exceed director and Amethio's father, which they agreed. [[HZ109|However]], Liko, Roy, and Ult walked into a trap the Explorers set up for them by faking an email sent by Cervantis. Liko, Roy, and Ult [[HZ110|were forced to battle]] five of the Six Heroes when they used a new improved Strong Sphere called Super Strong Sphere on them to turn them against them. Despite their efforts and help from Amethio, Liko, Roy, and Ult's Pokémon are knocked out by five of the Six Heroes with Coral and Sidian's help. However, the effects of the Super Strong Sphere on five of the Six Heroes wears off and the Explorers left with them. Despite the loss, Liko, Roy, Ult, and Dot [[HZ112|decided]] to do battle training at [[Blueberry Academy]] in the [[Unova]] region after getting a call from Briar. Also, Liko revealed to Roy and Dot that their friend Ann is at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|thumb|250px|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited with Friede]]
In [[HZ115]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived in Unova, as the older members dropped off the junior members at Blueberry Academy while they docked near a town for repairs and supplies.

In [[HZ119]], the Rising Volt Tacklers, along with Penny and Carmine, attended a meeting with Briar whom explained that Diana's theory about Pagogo possibly needing to resonate with eighteen Pokémon Types was only half correct. Briar clarified that Pagogo needed to resonate with eighteen different Tera Types from Pokémon at the level of the Six Heroes in order to completely purify Laquium. After leaving Blueberry Academy and [[HZ120|Dot with Penny obtained data on Laquium]], the Rising Volt Tacklers got a message from Friede that he was coming back. Friede then revealed to his teammates that he was returning from space. [[HZ121|When Friede ran into trouble returning to Earth]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived to his rescue and were able to get him back onto the Brave Olivine safely. [[HZ122|After exchanging information]], Friede and Roy had a battle, which the latter won. Later, Friede decided to go to the [[Hoenn]] region to give respect for the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and go to the [[Devon Corporation]] to analyze the data on Laquium that he got from space. Friede decided to leave the Rising Volt Tacklers to Captain Pikachu and Roy, with the latter officially being recognised as the new leader.

In [[HZ124]], the younger members and Amethio staged a rescue mission for the reamning Six Heroes, as they were able to get into the Explorers HQ where they were being held in. However, the five end up walking into a trap set up by Spinel, as they face off a high ranking member of the Explorers and a Six Hero. [[HZ125|Through their efforts]], the five were able to save the remaining Six Heroes and let them the roam the world so they would be safe from the Explorers. Although, the remaining heroes promise Zygarde to lend their strength at Laqua when the time comes. However, Spinel used the confrontation with the younger members to trick the general public into thinking they were criminals, making things worse for their reputation.

In [[HZ126]], the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived back to Paldea, but had to keep a low profile due to Spinel's lies. The younger members go back to Naranja Academy to stop them from selling Strong Spheres while the older members stay with the Brave Olivine in Levincia with Iono's help in keeping their airship hidden from the public.

==Team roster==
===Active members===
This list is of the team members who are part of the team. Although they disbanded for a year after [[Friede]]'s disappearance, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], [[Dot]], and [[Captain Pikachu]] have re-formed the Rising Volt Tacklers themselves in order to stop the influence of [[Laquium]] on Pokémon and clear the group's name in the public eye. Most of the adults returned in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' after being inspired by the younger members' determination while Friede returned in [[HZ121]] but left temporarily in the [[HZ122|next episode]].

|- style="background:#fff"
|[[File:Lucius.png|180px|Lucius]] [[Lucius]]

==Technology==
===Apps===
*Members of the Rising Volt Tacklers have an app installed on their [[Rotom Phone]] as proof of membership. It is a messaging app developed by [[Dot]] that allows members to contact each other when needed. The app's servers were taken down after the Rising Volt Tacklers's disbanding following the events of ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'' but were later restored by Dot in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'' after the group reformed.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|A majority of the Rising Volt Tacklers Pokémon]]
Four of the older members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, except former member Wy-Yes, and Ult have at least two Pokémon partners while Friede, Dot, and Roy have three on their teams. Liko is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers who has four Pokémon partners on her team. They are also thirteen different species of Pokémon who live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu and Friede's Charizard led both the Pokémon that belong to the rest of members on the team and the group who live on the Brave Olivine. Although, during Charizard's absences, Roy's Skeledirge stepped up in helping Captain Pikachu led both Pokémon groups.

So far, three of the Pokémon, {{p|Fuecoco}}, {{p|Quaxly}}, and {{p|Maushold}}, that originally lived on the Brave Olivine as [[wild]] Pokémon have since been caught by three members of the team, Roy, Dot, and Mollie. Also, each member of the Rising Volt Tacklers has a [[Rotom Phone]]. In addition, Dot and Liko can use {{Tera}}stallization while Ult can use [[Mega Evolution]]. Friede and Roy are the only members of the Rising Volt Tacklers who can use both Terastallization and Mega Evolution.

FireLordSSBU: /* Mochi variants */ that is NOT okidogi bro 😭

[[File:Poisonous Mochi.png|thumb|250px|{{Ga|Pecharunt}}'s Binding Mochi]]
'''Mochi''' (Japanese: '''もち''' ''{{wp|Mochi}}'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. They can be obtained from participating in [[Ogre Oustin']]. They can be used to increase a Pokémon's [[Effort values|EVs]] in a specific stat, and are flavored with {{Berries}} kneaded into the dough.

==Mochi variants==
[[File:Titan Munkidori SV.png|left|thumb|250px|{{p|Munkidori}} under the effects of the Kitakami Mochi]]
Two unobtainable variants of mochi are seen or mentioned in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Kitakami Mochi===
The first, known as '''[[Kitakami]] Mochi''' (Japanese: '''キタカミもち''' ''Kitakami Mochi''), is mentioned during the events of [[The Teal Mask]]. It is made by the people of Mossui Town and some were used to feed the [[Loyal Three]] in [[Kitakami Hall]] shortly after their revival. It is heavily implied that they're made with [[Herba Mystica]], as it causes the Loyal Three to become [[Titan Pokémon|Titanic Pokémon]]. The effects are temporary however, as the trio reverts back to normal size after their first defeat.{{-}}

===Binding Mochi===
The second, known as '''Binding Mochi''' (Japanese: '''くさりもち''' ''Chain Mochi''), is seen during the events of [[Mochi Mayhem]]. It is naturally made by the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Pecharunt}}. It is described as toxic or poisonous, but weirdly, with a sweet taste and aroma. When consumed by [[human]]s or {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the Binding Mochi draws out their desires, greed, and capabilities, chaining them to Pecharunt's will as a result.

Humans under Pecharunt's control have purple eyes and are surrounded by a purple aura. The controlled humans also hold their arms while performing a chicken dance-like movement, repeating the word "mochi" constantly. However, in some cases, like with [[Hideko]], it is shown that the possessed human can still speak somewhat freely, though it may simply be Pecharunt influencing the propagation of the mochi among humans. Humans under its influence are often still prone to innate emotion and desires — [[Arven]] is visibly embarrassed while dancing, Penny instinctively combines the word "mochi" with "Veevee", and [[Nemona]] still expresses a strong urge to battle, being able to morph "mochi" into "match".

==In the games==
===Mechanics===
The first six mochi each provide ten [[Effort values|EVs]] in a particular stat, similar to [[vitamin]]s. This consumes the mochi.

The seventh mochi, the [[Fresh-Start Mochi]], resets a Pokémon's effort values in all stats to zero.

==In the TCG==
[[File:BindingMochiShroudedFable55.jpg|thumb|200px|Binding Mochi in the TCG]]
{{main|Binding Mochi (Shrouded Fable 55)}}
The '''Binding Mochi''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Night Wanderer}} subset and the English {{TCG|Shrouded Fable}} special expansion, with artwork by [[5ban Graphics]]. It increases the attack damage done by the Poisoned Pokémon it is attached to against the opponent's Active Pokémon by 40.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in its post-game's side story. She is an orphaned young girl in [[Lumiose City]] who was found and taken care of by the detective [[Looker]].

In Pokémon X and Y, she is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss'').

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, she inherits the head role at her detective agency from Looker in Lumiose City and she is the only character in the game to have the Trainer class '''Detective''' (Japanese: '''探偵''' ''Detective'').

==In the core series games==
=== [[Pokémon X and Y]] ===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the [[Looker Bureau]] and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his [[Looker's Croagunk|only Pokémon]] died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually [[Lysandre Café]] and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
{{endspoilers}}

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ===
Five years after ''X and Y'', Emma lives in [[Lumiose City]] and works as a detective. She is said to have inherited the head role at her detective agency in Lumiose, where the player assists her by tracking down missing Pokémon, locating lost items, and partaking in the occasional Pokémon battle. Her hair has been cut to a short bob, and she wears her Expansion Suit under a cropped trench coat. Her suit now has a [[Key Stone]] embedded in it.

[[File:Emma anime.png|thumb|250px|Emma in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Emma grew up in the streets of [[Lumiose City]] and never knew either of her parents. One day, she met a man named [[Looker]], who took her in and taught her how to read and write. Eventually, Looker left Lumiose City and allowed Emma to keep living in the building in which he owned. At some point, Emma met a young boy named [[Ult]] who, much like herself, lived in the streets of Lumiose City and she kindly decided to invite him to live with her, while also teaching him how to read and write, just as Looker had done for herself.

=====[[Episode: Mega Evolution]]=====
Emma first appeared in [[HZ113]], where she hosted Ult and his friend [[Roy]] at her home, cooking them a feast and kindly encouraging Roy to enjoy it as much as he can. After Ult left to challenge the [[Roy's Lucario|Yellow Blast]], Emma shared his past with Roy and asked him to become friends with Ult, noticing that he's never cared about anyone as much as he did currently, which Roy gladly complied.

In [[HZ114]], Emma said goodbye to Ult and Roy, during the farewell with Ult, Emma wished Ult a good trip and that he will always have a home with her, and that he is like family to her. With Roy, Emma thanked him for everything he did for Ult and then used Mimi to sense [[Captain Pikachu]]'s feelings for Roy and highlighted how much Roy was becoming like [[Friede]]. Some time later, Emma and Mimi found Roy's hat and placed it next to a picture of her with her Pokémon and Roy and Ult.

====Character====
Emma is a good-natured young girl, allowing Ult to live with her and teaching him how to read and write, and finding his sharp-tongued demeanor quite amusing. She's also a good hostess, going to great lengths to make Roy feel welcomed at her home and even pushing herself a little too hard to serve him and Ult during dinner. Emma is also quite a klutz, almost dropping all of her plates (with the food still on) because of the heavy weight she was carrying. She's also quite forgetful, forgetting to mention to Roy that she dreamed of becoming a detective, so much so that her forgetful nature reminded [[Captain Pikachu]] of [[Friede]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cassius Grace Emma Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Emma in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}} at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out of the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.}}

During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

|desc={{p|Zygarde}}, also known as Kalos's "Overseer" (Japanese: '''監視者''' ''Watcher''), first appeared in [[Anistar City]]. When Essentia attempted to capture it by having Trevenant bind it with vines, Zygarde attempted to retaliate by summoning the forces of nature and absorbing them into its body. Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}}. As it battled {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X had his [[Marisso]] smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.}}

==Trivia==
* A replica of Emma's Expansion Suit helmet can be bought from [[Atticus]] at [[Porto Marinada]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}:
** Emma's yellow hairclip is similar to the organs under an {{p|Espurr}}'s ears.
** All of Emma's fully-evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have a [[Mega Evolution]] each.
* Photos with [[Xerosic]] and [[Looker]] can be found in Emma's office in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
* In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Emma implies that her {{p|Malamar}} is the same one [[Xerosic]] gave her five years earlier,<ref>'''Emma:''' "I'll be using Pokémon that were given to me by a man who played an important role in my life. Malamar, everyone, let's go!" ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> although it is a lower level than its latest appearance in {{g|X and Y}}.

{{redirect|Indeterminate|the gender designation|Gender unknown}}
{{EggGroups}}
The '''Amorphous Egg Group''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|不定形|ふていけい}}グループ''' ''Indeterminate Group''), known prior to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} as the '''Indeterminate Egg Group''', is one of the fifteen [[Egg Group]]s. As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Amorphous group Pokémon|pages}} Pokémon belong to this group.

==Characteristics==
Most Pokémon in this Egg Group are shapeless and the name reflects this. Its many members are based on a variety of things such as gases, blobs, inanimate objects, and soft-bodied organisms. Most are capable of floating off the ground. Many of its members are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], the {{p|Ralts}} family was exclusive to the Amorphous Egg Group. It is now also in the [[Human-Like (Egg Group)|Human-Like]] group.

==Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Amorphous group Pokémon|pages}} are in this Egg Group ({{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Amorphous group Pokémon|pages|R}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%).

Legendary heroes

2025-07-23T23:32:38Z

FireLordSSBU: /* Intro */ Corrected a typo

:''If you were looking for the heroes of [[Unova]] legend, see [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals]].''
[[File:Zacian Zamazenta Eternatus Rubber Playmat Artwork.jpg|thumb|300px|Crowned Sword {{p|Zacian}} and Crowned Shield {{p|Zamazenta}} battling {{form|Eternatus|Eternamax}} {{p|Eternatus}}]]
The '''legendary heroes'''<ref name="Sonia"/><ref name="Crown Zenith expansion"/><ref name="Crown Zenith TCG"/> (Japanese: '''{{ruby|伝|でん}}{{ruby|説|せつ}}の{{ruby|英|えい}}{{ruby|雄|ゆう}}''' ''Densetsu no Eiyū''), also known as the '''Legendary Warrior Pokémon'''<ref name="Elite Trainer Box"/><ref name="Ultra-Premium Collection"/> and by fans as the '''Sword and Shield Siblings''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|剣|けん}}{{ruby|盾|たて}}{{ruby|姉|し}}{{ruby|弟|てい}}''' ''Kentate Shitei'', "Sword and Shield Older Sister and Younger Brother"), are a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon#Legendary duo|duo]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. They reside in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

In their Crowned forms, Zacian and Zamazenta are the [[game mascot]]s of Pokémon Sword and Shield, respectively, on top of sharing a secondary [[type]] in {{t|Steel}} and the {{pkmn|category}} of "Warrior Pokémon".

==History==
The two Legendary Pokémon are believed to have been born from a place far beyond the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Some believe Zacian and Zamazenta are siblings, others believe that the two are rivals. For eons, the Legendary heroes have lived in the [[Galar]] [[region]], protecting it from outside threats, but while the region is safe, both reside in an ancient altar deep within the Slumbering Weald in the form of statues in the middle of a lake.

3000 years ago, as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Eternatus}} awakened and caused the cataclysmic [[Darkest Day]], Zacian and Zamazenta awakened as well to protect the region with the help of [[Ancient Galarian kings|two young humans]]. In the end of the battle, the four succeeded in taking down the Gigantic Pokémon, forcing it into another slumber and causing pieces of its body imbued with its power to rain down throughout Galar in the form of [[Wishing Piece|Wishing Pieces]] and [[Wishing Star|Wishing Stars]].

After the end of the Darkest Day, the two youths were crowned as the region's new kings, however, as time went on, Zacian and Zamazenta were forgotten by history, causing other alternate stories to arise: like one where a single hero with a sword and shield defeat all gigantic Pokémon and one where two youths find a sword and a shield and use it to undo the Darkest Day, being then crowned as kings.

After promising he wasn't going to steal anything, they were able to simply walk through the illusions and reach the forest's altar as the illusions disappeared.

Following {{p|Eternatus}}'s awakening and the recovery of the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield, Zacian and Zamazenta appeared [[Tower summit|atop]] [[Hammerlocke]] in ''[[PASS29|GRRR!!

The Disappearance of Henry]]'', a bright burst of light ensued, following which all three Legendary Pokémon had disappeared, along with Henry and the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield he had been holding. It was later revealed that they were teleported [[Isle of Armor|somewhere]] [[Crown Tundra|else]].

In [[PASS41]], Zacian and Zamazenta reappeared, recovering their respective artifacts from Henry and transforming into their {{form|Zacian and Zamazenta|Crowned forms}}. In [[PASS42]], Zacian and Zamazenta were able to resume their battle against Eternatus at the [[tower summit]]. Thanks to Henry's advice, they successfully defeated their opponent by attacking it from its blind point in [[PASS43|the following chapter]], ending the Darkest Day and forcing Eternatus back to its weaker form. They subsequently left, with people like Casey and [[Piers]] agreeing to name them as the true heroes instead of any human to avoid more people like [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] from coming about.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|HOME}} for [[Nintendo Switch]], Zacian, Zamazenta, and {{p|Eternatus}} are required to complete the {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}} "Legends of Galar".

Gigantic Pokémon

FireLordSSBU: /* Intro */ Fixed my incorrect use of tags. Sorry!

[[File:Gigantic Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Gigantic Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}]]
A '''gigantic Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|巨大|きょだい}}ポケモン''' ''gigantic Pokémon'') is a Pokémon in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}} that takes up nine tiles rather than the usual one.

A gigantic Pokémon has a larger reach with its attacks, and some attacks are completely different, such as {{m|Outrage}}. Gigantic Pokémon are also immune to {{m|Sketch}}.

In Super Mystery Dungeon, the player can only bring one gigantic Pokémon into a dungeon at a time. However, it is possible to have up to five gigantic Pokémon on the player's team at one time if the player has at least two party members that know {{m|Transform}} use it on a gigantic Pokémon and brings the [[Djinn's Bottle]] into a dungeon and uses it to call {{p|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}, who can further call a gigantic Legendary Pokémon.

In Rescue Team DX, this restriction is removed, and the player is allowed to have as many gigantic Pokémon as they would like, up to the max team size.

Gigantic Pokémon also existed in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, but were not playable.

==Moves that are affected by gigantic Pokémon==
{{incomplete|section|Missing some moves like Fly and Dragon Rush}}
All moves have their one-tile range moves altered to hit the three tiles in the direction the gigantic Pokémon is facing. Also, moves which pierce through enemies, such as {{m|Hydro Pump}}, will pierce through walls as well (with the exception of {{m|Sky Attack}}). Some moves are completely altered when used by gigantic Pokémon.

Moves which are altered when used by gigantic Pokémon are:

These are [[Geeta]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

;[[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}
* In the staff room
:''“Very well, {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Nemona]]. I trust you to handle this in my stead.”''
:''“I’m glad to hear it. Good day, then.”''
:''“Oh—pardon me.”''

;Pokémon [[Gym]]s
* After defeating the third Gym
:''“Pardon me. Hello.”''
:''“You just defeated the [[Gym Leader]], yes?”''
:''“And your name is <player>, if I recall correctly…”''
:''“Tell me, do you seek to become a Champion?”''
::'''Yes''': ''"Just what I hoped to hear. You have a rare talent, especially for your age. Aim high—greater heights are within your reach.”''
::'''No''': ''"Oh my, are you certain? You have a rare talent, especially for your age. It’d be a shame for that talent to go to waste."
:''“Oh, but I’ve gotten ahead of myself.”''
:''“I am Geeta, chairwoman of the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, the organization that runs these Gyms.”''
:''“As you seem to be collecting [[Badge|Gym Badges]], I suspect we’ll meet again down the line.”''
:''“Until then, good day to you.”''

* After defeating the fifth Gym
:''“Another Gym Leader defeated. Well done.”''
:''“[[Rika]] informed me that there was an unusual trainer worth keeping an eye on.”''
:''“It seems she meant you. I’d guessed as much.”''
:''“I had the pleasure of observing your last match. I was impressed by the fantastic skill you showed!”''
:''“If you manage to keep your momentum and achieve Champion Rank…”''
:''“I will be very interested in inviting you to the Pokémon League and—”''
:''“How good to see you again, Champion Nemona. It has certainly been a while.”''
:''“I do indeed hold that claim. Alongside my role as chairwoman of the Pokémon League, that is.”''
:''“I’m not here to inspect the Gym. I’ve come to scout some rather promising young talent.”''
:''“Haha. I suppose I’ll have to get in line.”''
:''“One moment, please.”''
:''“I would very much like to observe this match, if that is all right.”''
:''“Thank you kindly. I’m already excited to see you two face off.”''
:''"Oh, there’s no need to be nervous. Just pretend I’m not even around."
:''“Let’s be on our way, then.”''
:''“Yes. You must face the Pokémon League.”''
:''“It is located to the northwest of [[Mesagoza]].”''
:''“The Pokémon League is where Trainers are reborn as Champions—the greatest honor that they might dream of.”''
:''“Excuse me one moment.”''
:''“I believe <player>’s Pokémon may still be a little fatigued.”''
:''“An amazing display of talent, even against one as skilled as Champion Nemona.”''
:''“That was a splendid match. I enjoyed watching very much.”''
:''“I agree. In fact, you should take this. Consider it an investment in your future.”''
:''“If a Pokémon uses that [[move]] while {{Tera}}stallized, the move’s type will change to the Tera Type of the Pokémon.”''
:''“She shows you such support and friendship. Or perhaps…”''
:''“Perhaps she hopes you truly might rival her?”''
:''“No… I think it’s no mere hope. She seems to have complete faith that you will catch up to her.”''
:''“At any rate, allow me to return you to the Gym where I found you.”''

* After defeating the eighth Gym
:''“Most impressive, <player>. A shining display of talent, I must admit.”''
:''“Indeed.”''
:''“Now that you’ve gathered eight Gym Badges… all that’s left is to take on the Pokémon League!”''
:''“If you hope to stand alongside Nemona as a fellow Champion…”''
:''“Head to the Pokémon League. That is where you can take on the Champion Assessment.”''
:''“It’s unusual for me to see her so excited—though perhaps not for you.”''
:''“She must really be happy that she finally has a friend who can keep pace with her own talents.”''
:''“There’s a special kind of strength that can only be reached by competing with a good [[rival]]…”''
:''“Count me among those eager to see how far you two can go!”''
:''“In any case, I’ll be waiting for you at the Pokémon League, northwest of Mesagoza.”''

;Pokémon League
* Outside the Pokémon League building
:''“Hello, <player>.”''
:''“So this is it… You’ve decided to face the Pokémon League.”''
:''“The final test you must pass to become a Champion… is held here in this building.”''
:''“I wish you the best of luck from the bottom of my heart, <player>.”''
:''“I look forward to meeting you again soon.”''

* Before battle
:''“Welcome, <player>.”''
:''“It gives me great joy that you’ve managed to make it all the way to the pinnacle of the Pokémon League.”''
:''“The final test is a battle against me, the Top Champion.”''
:''“To pass, all you need to do… is win.”''
:''“But before we get started, I should apologize for one thing.”''
:''“You see, I have a trait that some might say is inappropriate for the League Chairwoman…”''
:''“I am utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles.”''
:''“Maybe that’s why nobody’s passed this test recently. It’s a bit of a problem, to be honest.”''
:''“But you… You might manage something wonderful, like Champion Nemona did.”''
:''“So, are you ready for your final test?”''
:''“I want to see the true measure of your talent!”''

* In battle

:''“Now, allow me to walk you back to the entrance.”''
:''“I’m certain you’ll find a familiar face awaiting you.”''
:''“Do wait a moment, Champion Nemona.”''
:''“The Champion Assessment has only just ended. I believe a rest is in order for Champion <player>, <player's lead Pokémon>, and the others.”''
:''“Champions must be understanding toward their opponents.”''
:''“I also must ask—is this roadside really the setting you two want for your first battle as true equals and rivals?”''
:''“Surely there’s somewhere more fitting. A place with special meaning for the two of you, perhaps.”''
::'''The Treasure Eatery''' ''“The Treasure Eatery? Is it significant to the two of you somehow? [[Larry]] might not appreciate the surprise visit. If you’ve any other suitable places in mind, would you prioritize them instead, please?”''
:''“The respect you two share is palpable. Even a bit enviable, to be honest.”''
:''“I am known as La Primera—but even when facing me in the final test of her Champion Assessment, Champion Nemona didn’t reveal her full might.”''
:''“In you, I suspect she has found someone she can battle without holding anything back.”''

:''“A former Gym Leader… The developer of the [[Pokédex]] app… This academy clearly counts many skilled trainers of Pokémon among its staff.”''

:''“Thank you for the invitation, Champion Nemona.”''
:''“I would gladly take up your kind offer to compete alongside you all, but…”''
:''“I’m afraid my schedule is already packed tight with work that I simply must attend to.”''
:''“Well… I suppose I might be able to participate if Champion <player> would agree to lend me a hand with my work…?”''
:''“Excellent answer. Much obliged, Champion <player>.”''
:''“To get straight to it, I would like you to go out and inspect Paldea’s various Gyms in my stead.”''
:''“Are they fulfilling their duties as beacons of strength and inspiration for all those aiming to achieve Champion Rank?”''
:''“Or has their brilliance started to fade?”''
:''“To find this out, I ask that you bring your full might as Champion to bear against each of the Gym Leaders and test their prowess in battle.”''
:''“They are all Trainers of exceptional talent, handpicked by me personally.”''
:''“I do not expect you’ll find any cracks in their armor, but…well. Consider it a formality.”''
:''“This will also provide the perfect stage for your first appearance as a new Champion.”''
:''“Since all the Gym Leaders will still be expecting me to carry out the inspection, I imagine they’ll have mustered their full strength.”''
:''“I daresay they might be more of a challenge than when you faced them before.”''
:''“Now then, on to another crucial matter.”''
:''“I’d like to discuss with [[Penny]] here how to patch the weaknesses in our [[League Point]] system.”''
:''“Thank you in advance for your willing and eager cooperation.”''

:''“Good day, Champion <player>.”''
:''“Now, tell me… What do you think of our entrance hall? Do you enjoy being surrounded by books?”''
::'''I love it!''': ''“That’s good to hear. It was renovated a few years ago, and I was the one who came up with the new design!”''
::'''Not really my thing...''': ''"Oh, I’m sorry to hear that... I was in charge of creating this new design when we renovated it a few years ago..."
:''“But more importantly, I would very much like to hear your report on the Gym Leaders!”''
:''“Ah, now that I think about it, this location is perhaps a little too…public.”''
:''“Do you know of anywhere quiet where we might be able to discuss things a bit more discreetly?”''

* In the player's dorm room
:''“So this is the dorm room where you live.”''
:''“I wonder, is this room what helped nurture your potential as a Champion?”''
:''“Ah, wait, I remember now. You only recently moved into the dormitories.”''
:''“In the near future, perhaps I’ll pay your family’s home a visit, if I may…”''

FireLordSSBU: /* Keep this page */

I think this page kept. As its talking about one character and his role in the history of Noble and Ride Pokemon. Plus I aware the facts are shared on other pages but would it also not make sense to have one Ancient hero so people don't keep backtracking or looks for certain pages. plus makes it eaiser to him this one character other than of coruse myth and legends apge and hsitroy fo pokemon world. Plus the whole dletion thing has hoenstly went nowhere and this page can eaisly improved. I say keep and put the effort in improving it.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 16:49, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I think this page should be kept, due to the character being more than significant enough to the plot of PLA. I also think we could possibly see lore around this "ancient hero" developed in future iterations, with more content to add to the page. [[User:Bloom|Bloom]] ([[User talk:Bloom|talk]]) 00:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

== Keep this page ==

I think this page should be kept because it is important to the plot of PLA and is an essential article for Hisui and the game, as well as the articles for Sneasler, Braviary, Kleavor, Electrode, Avalugg, Basculegion, Wyrdeer, Ursaluna, Lilligant, Arcanine, and possibly Arceus. [[User:Lugia+Ho-Oh|Lugia+Ho-Oh]] ([[User talk:Lugia+Ho-Oh|talk]]) 21:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

ALSO, DON'T EVEN '''THINK''' ABOUT MERGING IT WITH HISUI. [[User:Lugia+Ho-Oh|Lugia+Ho-Oh]] ([[User talk:Lugia+Ho-Oh|talk]]) 22:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Ride Pokémon (Hisui)

2024-11-21T21:33:15Z

FireLordSSBU: /* Intro */ Contractions? Hell no.

[[File:LA Ride Basculegion.png|thumb|300px|[[Rei]] riding {{p|Basculegion}}]]
[[Hisui]]'s '''Ride Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ライドポケモン''' ''Ride Pokémon'') were a group of five Pokémon that were dedicated to assisting the [[human]]s that they have deemed worthy. The Ride Pokémon were worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s and the people of Hisui. They are descendants of five of the ten companions of the [[ancient hero]] of legend, who have received a blessing from {{ga|Arceus}}. The descendants of the other five are the [[noble Pokémon]].

==History==
Inheriting the duties of their ancestors in protecting the [[Hisui]] [[region]]. There are a total of five Ride Pokémon who, along with the five [[noble Pokémon]], are watched over and cared for by [[warden]]s of the [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s. Ride Pokémon are often [[Giant Pokémon|larger than their standard counterparts]], and cannot be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], after opening their heart by playing the [[Celestica Flute]], a Ride Pokémon will give the [[player character]] a [[plate]] of its corresponding [[type]]. Once unlocked, the Ride Pokémon can be summoned at any time by replaying the Celestica or [[Azure Flute]].

Statues of all of the noble Pokémon and ridable Pokémon, created by the original inhabitants of Hisui, can be found at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. However, these statues are destroyed by {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}.

It's unknown what happened to the Ride Pokémon in the present day of [[Sinnoh]].

==Battles==
The player battles against two of the Ride Pokémon before obtaining them, being {{p|Ursaluna}} and {{p|Braviary}}. The player battles against Ursaluna in order to quell his rage, and against Braviary to prove themselves.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Celestica Flute LA.png|thumb|250px|Playing the [[Celestica Flute]]]]
After being unlocked, the player can summon a Ride Pokémon at any time by pressing the + button. If multiple Ride Pokémon are accessible, the player can toggle between them at any time pressing the left and right buttons on the directional buttons or D-Pad. When harmed by a [[wild Pokémon]]'s {{status|poison}}, {{status|paralysis}}, or [[Drowsy|drowsiness]], the Ride Pokémon—except {{p|Basculegion}} and {{p|Braviary}}—will disappear and cannot be summoned again until the player recovers from the status condition. Like the Ride Pokémon from the [[Alola]] [[region]], many Ride Pokémon are seen as alternatives for specific [[Key Item]]s and [[HM]]s.

Ride Pokémon are used to help complete certain [[Task#Requests|requests]], like balloon races, which require quick land, sea, or air travel to pop balloons within a time limit.

===Wyrdeer===
Wyrdeer can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[bike]] function from other games, allowing the player to travel faster than on foot. By holding the B button, Wyrdeer will be able to sprint faster than his standard run speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle, however, the camera can still be moved manually during this action. Pressing the Y button allows Wyrdeer to jump over obstacles. During these jumps, if unlocked, pressing the A button will allow the player to switch to the Braviary mount. Wyrdeer can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Wyrdeer, he is also the default Ride Pokémon if no previous Ride Pokémon was chosen before Basculegion or Braviary.

===Ursaluna===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Item tables for each area, see [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTPCLd_HsmaqrnOSIli8lCod_4PDGXcUQO0_07IbQsQkMrbCdsOoK5QqIblTXxXLM2wXbMs3pRBgflk/pubhtml this] document for details}}

Ursaluna can be seen as a replacement for the game's [[Dowsing Machine]] from other games, allowing players to find [[item]]s hidden underground by having Ursaluna sniff out their location.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTPCLd_HsmaqrnOSIli8lCod_4PDGXcUQO0_07IbQsQkMrbCdsOoK5QqIblTXxXLM2wXbMs3pRBgflk/pubhtml LA Buried Items]</ref> The player rides on Ursaluna's back at a slightly faster pace than their standard run speed. A radar appears in front of Ursaluna's face while mounted. The color of radar starts off as a small green semi-circle. Once Ursaluna picks up the scent of an item, the radar will grow larger, turn yellow, and Ursaluna will start running at a faster speed. When close to a hidden item, the radar will turn red, until a red "!" appears over a digging spot for an item, allowing the player to press the Y button and dig up the item. When over a spot without any sort of buried item underneath, Ursaluna will shake telling the player that he is unable to dig if the player attempts to dig. Ursaluna can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Ursaluna.

===Basculegion===
Basculegion is seen as an alternative to {{m|Surf}}, allowing the player to traverse across water. He can be summoned by either pressing the + button or A button while in the water. Diving into the water with another Ride Pokémon will also automatically swap to Basculegion. While riding Basculegion, the player can still do many actions that are achievable on land, including catching and battling wild Pokémon by using the ZR button and locking onto them by holding the ZL button. Like Wyrdeer, holding the B button will allow Basculegion to dash at a faster speed, this may cause the camera to automatically adjust to a better angle, however, the camera can still be moved manually during this action. By pressing the Y button, Basculegion is able to jump, Basculegion can then jump again by pressing the Y button a second time. While midair, holding the ZR button will cause the screen to blur and the game to slow down, allowing for more accurate throws against wild Pokémon and objects. Like Wyrdeer, being midair in either of these jumps can allow the player to swap over to Braviary by pressing the A button.

===Sneasler===
Sneasler is seen as an alternative to {{m|Rock Climb}}, allowing the player to climb over most terrain and obstacles. Sneasler moves slightly faster than what the player can normally walk, but she is unable to run while carrying the player. The player is unable to throw items or [[Poké Ball]]s while being carried. Getting close to a wall and pressing the A button will allow Sneasler to grab onto the wall, while getting close to an edge or cliff and pressing the Y button will allow Sneasler to descend. Pressing the B button on a cliff will cause Sneasler to jump. Like Wyrdeer, being midair can allow the player to swap over to Braviary by pressing the A button. Sneasler is only able to latch onto certain terrains, such as rocky cliffs and trees, she cannot climb up icy surfaces. Sneasler can be summoned automatically by riding onto land with Basculegion or Braviary if the player previously used Sneasler.

===Braviary===
Braviary acts similarly to a hang glider. Once summoned, Braviary will take off with the player high in the air in the spot they are currently in. Braviary can be used to travel long distances across the map, however, he slowly descends, regardless if he is moving or standing in place in the air. Like Wyrdeer and Basculegion, holding the B button in the air will allow Braviary to dash, moving faster, but descends at a quicker pace. Holding the Y button allows for Braviary to dive instead. This dive goes at the same speed as his dash, but is pointed towards the ground for easier landing. Unlike Wyrdeer and Basculegion's dashes, the player is locked into a single camera angle while dashing. Braviary can also be summoned any time in the air by pressing the A button, either by walking off a cliff, or jumps caused by Wyrdeer and Basculegion.

==Trivia==
* Statues of the Ride Pokémon, along with the [[noble Pokémon]], were built at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] by the original Hisuian inhabitants. These are destroyed at the climax of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* The concept of Ride Pokémon is noted by [[Professor Laventon]] to be similar to the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] of [[Alola]].
* Sneasler is the only [[Gender|female]] Ride Pokémon.
* Hisuian {{p|Braviary}} is the only Ride Pokémon to be a [[regional form]]. The others are new evolutions of preexisting Pokémon.
** Interestingly, the Ride Pokémon of Hisui consist of four evolutions of preexisting Pokémon and one Pokémon with a regional form, while the noble Pokémon consist of four Pokémon with regional forms and one evolution of a preexisting Pokémon.

FireLordSSBU: /* Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! */ Did you guys just... NOT notice that?!

These are [[Sabrina]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series==
==={{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}===
* Before battle
:''"I had a vision of your arrival! I have had psychic powers since I was a child. I first learned to bend spoons with my mind. I dislike fighting, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"''

* Being defeated
:''"I'm shocked! But, a loss is a loss. I admit I didn't work hard enough to win! You earned the <sc>{{badge|Marsh|MarshBadge}}</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>MarshBadge</sc> makes {{ScPkmn}} up to L70 obey you! Stronger {{ScPkmn}} will become wild, ignoring your orders in battle! Just don't raise your {{ScPkmn}} too much! Wait, please take this TM with you!"''
:''"[[TM46]] is <sc>{{m|Psywave}}</sc>! It uses powerful psychic waves to inflict damage!"''
:''"Everyone has psychic power! People just don't realize it!"''

* If the player doesn't have room for items
:''"Your pack is full of other items!"''

==={{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}===
* Before battle
:''"I knew you were coming... Three years ago I had a vision of your arrival. You're after my <sc>Badge</sc>. I don't enjoy battling, but it's my duty as a <sc>Leader</sc> to confer <sc>Badges</sc> on anyone who has proven him- or herself worthy. Since you wish it, I will show you my psychic powers!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Your power... It far exceeds what I foresaw... Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds... OK, you win. You earned yourself <sc>MarshBadge</sc>."''

* After being defeated
:''"<sc>MarshBadge</sc> draws out your subliminal powers... Although I failed to accurately predict your power, this much I know to be true. You will become a celebrated and beloved <sc>Champion</sc>!"''
:''"Your love for your {{ScPkmn}} overwhelmed my psychic power... The power of love, I think, is also a kind of psychic power..."''

==={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
* Before battle
:''"I had a vision of your arrival! I have had psychic powers since I was a child. It started when a spoon I carelessly tossed, bent. I dislike battling, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"''

* Being defeated
:''"This loss shocks me! But a loss is a loss. I admit I didn't work hard enough to win. You earned the <sc>MarshBadge</sc>."''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>MarshBadge</sc> makes {{ScPkmn}} up to Lv. 70 obey you. Stronger {{ScPkmn}} will become wild, ignoring your orders in battle! Just don't raise your {{ScPkmn}} too much to avoid that problem. Wait, please take this [[TM04|TM]] with you."''
:''"Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."''
:''"TM04 is <sc>{{m|Calm Mind}}</sc>. It makes the {{ScPkmn}} concentrate to raise both <sc>Sp. Atk</sc> and <sc>Sp. Def</sc>."''

==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
;Saffron Gym
* Before battle
:''"I knew you were coming... Three years ago I had a vision of your arrival. You're after my Badge. I don't enjoy battling, but it's my duty as a Gym Leader to confer Badges on anyone who has proven him- or herself worthy. Since you wish it, I will show you my psychic powers!"''

* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"What will happen after this? I already know."''

* When last Pokémon is at a critical health
:''"Was the future I saw...wrong?"''

* Being defeated
:''"I get it..."''

* After being defeated
:''"Your power... It far exceeds what I foresaw... Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds... OK, you win. You earned yourself the Marsh Badge."''
:''"I failed to accurately predict your power. That means that your power is beyond my psychic ability. You deserve this. Please take this TM, too! It contains {{m|Skill Swap}}! It swaps Abilities between the user and the target. You will become a celebrated and beloved Champion!"''
:''"Your love for your Pokémon smashed my psychic abilities... The ability to love, I think, is some kind of psychic ability..."''

* Before battle
:''"I knew you'd come! I had a feeling. What? We promised each other, so it's no surprise? Well, you may be right."''

* After being defeated

* Calling the player
:''"Yeah, this is Sabrina. How are you doing? I'll tell you a little about a Psychic's training. Psychic ability is the power to influence people. You close your eyes and clear your mind of excessive thoughts...then you look hard at your sleeping self. That's it. True Psychics aren't the kind who can move things around with their minds. It's all about controlling your own mind."''
:''"Yeah, this is Sabrina. How are you doing? You.. You'll become even stronger than you are now, I know it... You will defeat every Trainer you face and eventually reach the glowing glory... I just wanted to tell you that. Talk to you later!"''

* Calling her
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. There are stronger Gym Leaders than me, you know. That's no good!"''
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. I think I've got some free time on Sundays around noon. Could you call me back then?"''

* On Sundays
:''"Hello... Anything new going on with you? I'm the same as usual. Ah, wonderful! I've got some free time right now. Would you like to battle again?"''
::'''No''': ''"I see... You have the right to refuse an offer. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. But I'm still a little disappointed..."''
::'''Yes''': ''"I knew it. That's just like you. So, I'll see you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City then!"''

Talk:Naranja Academy

2024-10-17T06:41:08Z

FireLordSSBU: /* My opinion on merging */ new section

== Merge with Uva Academy ==

Alright, now that the games have been out for a little while, I feel we can start discussing this. I think these articles could benefit from being merged, as the information about them is almost identical, and merging will prevent the need to copy over info from one article to the other. As it stands, this article is missing information that the other has. I think the simplest solution could be to merge the two articles under '''Naranja and Uva Academies''' or something of the sort. Thoughts? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 04:01, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
:The only notable differences are the name, color scheme, Violet/Scarlet Books on the library shelf, and Professor Sada or Turo being mentioned/shown on a video call during the story. Unlike other "version exclusive" locations such as Black City and White Forest, this is almost entirely cosmetic. I see no reason these should be treated as distinct locations in separate articles. [[User:Atrius97|Atrius97]] ([[User talk:Atrius97|talk]]) 09:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
::I agree. The articles being separate would just cause a lot of information to be repeated on both pages and potentially lead to consistency problems between the two pages. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
:::Idk how much more conversation to expect considering it hasn't been touched in a month, but I'd say it's almost self explanatory. maybe we can just make a merged article and call it "{{redlink|Mezagosa Academy}}" sort of as was done for [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]]-- [[User:4iamking|4iamking]] ([[User talk:4iamking|talk]]) 21:32, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
::::I don't think an overly conjectural title is appropriate or necessary in this case. I think "Naranja and Uva Academies", or something of the sort, would work fine as the title. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 22:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
:::::This conversation hasn't been touched in a while, but it seems like we're all in agreement that this merge is a good idea. The question is just what to call the new page. "Naranja and Uva Academies" is alright though a little lengthy; I double checked the official Scarlet & Violet website and after introducing the names of the two academies, it just refers to them both as "the academy" from then on. What do people think about just calling the merged page "Academy"? Or "Academy (Paldea)", to remove ambiguity? [[User:Storm Aurora|Storm Aurora]] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::I'm not a fan of Academy as a title to be honest. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:19, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::::Well, if no one has any other suggestions, I'd say someone can go ahead and merge the pages under the title "Naranja and Uva Academies". I'd do it myself, but I don't actually know how to merge pages together... [[User:Storm Aurora|Storm Aurora]] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 04:33, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Unfortunately it requires staff approval. Once we have that I'll be happy to do the leg work of merging the articles and relinking. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:13, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
{{indent}}I've created a [[User:Landfish7/Naranja and Uva Academies|draft of the merged article]]. It just needs a new infobox that consolidates the info from both articles, if anyone would like to help make that. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:14, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
:I added an infobox to the page, using a picture of the exterior of Naranja Academy for the image. I figure that since the only difference between the two exteriors is the school crest, which is pretty small in the image anyways, it's alright to just show the one. We may want to add a gallery section showing the two academies' crests, though. [[User:Storm Aurora|Storm Aurora]] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 02:22, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
::Now that the Naranja Academy is appearing in the anime and not the Uva Academy, seems like the two are distinct enough to keep them as separate pages after all. Plus we can add stuff like TCG and merch appearances of each to their respective pages. Thoughts? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 09:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
:::Do a thing called '''it'''. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 10:15, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

== Merging would be a good idea ==

I don't believe the two academies are differential enough to have two separate pages about them. Can anyone give a valid reason not to merge the two articles? --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 05:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:Pokémon Adventures--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 18:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
::To be more specific, the two academies appear in different media and have differing appearances in the TCG and merchandise, so it's helpful to keep them separate and allow the two articles to be expanded with their unique appearances. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I think it should be merged. Makes it so we don't have to juggle back and forth between articles.[[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 00:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
::::I personally support keeping them separate. Like Landfish said, they are distinct enough in different canons to make keeping them in separate articles a good idea. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

== My opinion on merging ==

I completely agree, these academies aren't different enough to have separate articles. Merge them! [[User:Lugia+Ho-Oh|Lugia+Ho-Oh]] ([[User talk:Lugia+Ho-Oh|talk]]) 06:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

These are [[Nemona]]'s quotes in the [[Pokémon games]].

==In the core series games==

:''"Buenas! We haven't met, have we?"
:''"Hang on, [[Clavell|Director]]... Is this who I think it is?"
:''"So you're that kid who moved up in the road! I've been dying to find out more about you!"
:''"I'm Nemona! Normally I live in the school dorms, but home is here. Whaddya say, new neighbor—wanna be friends?"
::'''Yes''': ''"Love that enthusiasm! We're gonna get along just fine!"

:''"I absolutely love [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battling]]! In fact, we should battle right now—you and me!"
:''"We're gonna be neighbors AND classmates? Nice! We'll be able to battle all we want!"
::'''If spoken to''': ''"Oh my gosh, your very first Pokémon. I'm getting chills just watching you pick!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''': ''"Wait, <player>! You gotta choose a Pokémon!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Sprigatito}}''': ''"That's Sprigatito, a Grass-type Pokémon! It can use its plant powers to soak up whatever water you throw at it!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Quaxly}}''': ''"That's Quaxly, a Water-type Pokémon! It may seem quiet, but its mighty streams of water can put out any fire—you'll see!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Fuecoco}}''': ''"That's Fuecoco, a Fire-type Pokémon! The burning-hot sparks it scatters will fry any and all plants in a flash!"
:''"<player>... I can't believe you actually chose {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}... I mean, like, way to make the perfect choice for you! You two make such a good combo!"
:''"Can I choose one of these Pokémon too, Director Clavell?"
:''"Not back then, no! I had other Pokémon I was focused on raising at the time. But now I want to raise a new Pokémon alongside <player> while he raises his own new partner!"
:''"Yesss!"
:''"Since <player> chose {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}, I'll go for this little one!"
:''"Nice to meet you, {{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Fuecoco}}! Welcome to the team!"
:''"All right, then! Now that we've chosen our Pokémon, we HAVE to battle!"
:''"I'll be waiting for you down at the beach. Come join me when you're ready!"

* At the private beach
:''"Over here!"
:''"Anyone can be a Pokémon Trainer as long as they have Pokémon by their side! And it's our duty as Trainers to help our Pokémon grow stronger through battle!"
:''"So, you ready to battle me, <player>?"
::'''Yes''': "Perfecto! I'm so excited! For this battle, I think I'll use—"
::'''No''': "Oye! Don't get cold feet on me now! I wanna see what you've got!"
:''"Heh, whoops... Good call, Director. I was about to send out one of my usual partners right off the bat.. I guess I'll take this chance to try out my new buddy instead!"
:''"C'mon, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"I know this is your first Pokémon battle, so let's just have some fun!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective [[move]]''': ''"You must've been studying up! Smart move—{{tt|Grass|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Water|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fire|if the player picked Fuecoco}} is strong against {{tt|Water|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Fire|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Grass|if the player picked Fuecoco}}!"
::'''After the player first lands a [[critical hit]]''': ''"Oooh, lucky! Landing a critical hit makes your move do more damage than usual!"
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Wow! Not bad, neighbor!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Look at you, winning your first battle ever! You've got even more potential than I thought! You're gonna be a strong Trainer for sure!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Hey, if you can battle like that on your first try, you definitely have what it takes to be a Trainer!"

:''"But now I want to try a different strategy! Let's go again—just one more battle!"
:''"Ah, sorry! I got kinda caught up in all the excitement... I'm really sorry, <player>. Same to your {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}, too."
::'''Don't worry about it''': ''"Heh... All right! Thanks, <player>!"
::'''Let's battle again soon!''': ''"Oh, definitely! We'll definitely battle more!"
:''"You bet, sir!"
:''"Oh, that reminds me! since you're new to training Pokémon, there's an app you definitely need! You have a [[Rotom Phone|smartphone]], right? Lemme see it for a sec."
:''"The [[Pokédex]] will automatically register any Pokémon you catch. It's a must-have for Pokémon Trainers! Our homeroom teacher, Mr. [[Jacq]], actually made it himself!"
:''"Oof! Filling out a Pokédex by hand? I can't even imagine how much work that would take!"
:''"Of course! Leave it to me!"
:''"Maybe I oughta make a little more time to work on my Pokédex along with all my battling..."
:''"Oh! Right! Speaking of Pokédexes, <player>, you've probably never caught a [[wild Pokémon]], right? I'll show you the ropes before I take you to the academy. Come with me!"

*After leaving the private beach
:''"That's right, ma'am. Leave it to me!"
:''"Your mother's so nice, <player>! Oh! But I was going to teach you how to catch wild Pokémon! C'mon, vamos!"
:''"This way!"

;[[Poco Path]]
:''"All right! This here is Poco Path! It's the path that leads to adventure for you and me!"
:''"Out here, things are different than in [[town]]. You're gonna see wild Pokémon out and about. They'll be on the path and in the grass and such!"
:''"Get too close to one, and you'll have to battle. But you've got {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}} for that, right?"
:''"And if you want to try to catch a Pokémon, you gotta use... a good ol' {{i|Poké Ball}}!"
:''"I've got tons. Have a few!"
:''"Oooh, what luck! Time for some learning by doing! Try battling this {{p|Lechonk}}, <player>!"
::'''If the player captures the wild Lechonk''': ''"Hala! That was awesome! You caught the very first Pokémon you went for! I'm crummy when it comes to actually catching Pokémon. Maybe YOU should give ME tips!"
::'''If the player defeats the wild Lechonk''': ''"Nice! Defeating a Pokémon in battle will help {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}} grow and get stronger! Next time, try throwing a Poké Ball when a Pokémon's riiight on the tip of being defeated. You'll have a decent chance at catching it then!"
::'''{{tt|If the player retreats|impossible to perform in game}}''': ''"Good call! If you know you can't win a battle, tactical retreats are what's up! When you've got the edge though, you can try catching the wild Pokémon in a Poké Ball!
::'''If the player loses against the Lechonk''': ''"Aw, you lost! Were you hesitating a little when it came time to attack? Sometimes seeing how strong you are will make wild Pokémon accept you. So don't be shy—battle hard and throw those Poké Balls!"
:''"Anyway, have some more Poké Balls just in case. Not every catch works out!"
:''"Weaken the Pokémon, then throw the Poké Ball! Remember that, and you'll be fine!"
:''"Now go battle those wild Pokémon and catch some of 'em!"
:''"Let's meet back up at that lighthouse over there! You can see our school from the top!"
::'''If spoken to again''': "If your Pokémon are getting tired out, I can heal 'em for ya! Oh, and if you get real good at catching Pokémon, gimme some advice! I'm not great at the actual "throw the Poké Ball" part."

*After the catching tutorial
:''"Hey, <player>! You getting the hang of how to catch Pokémon OK?
:''"Let me see. So far you've caught—"
:''"Whoa! What was that?!"
:''"I've never heard that kind of [[cry]] before! Could be some strong Pokémon or something!"
:''"I say we find whatever made that cry! Let's take a look around, <player>!"
:''"Just be careful—there's a kinda unsafe cave not far from here, so steer clear!"
:''"And I know your Rotom Phone can help keep you safe, but watch your step by these cliffs anyway!"

;[[Inlet Grotto]]
:''"Oyeee! <player>! There you are, <player>! You OK?! You're not hurt, right?"
::'''I'm fine!'''/'''I'm managing!''': ''"Thank goodness. I was really worried!"
:''"If you'd gotten hurt because I said we should go looking for whatever made that cry..."
:''"No, never mind that! Right now we've gotta focus on getting you back up here!"
:''"You've just gotta find some way to climb out of there! If you can get close enough, I'll try pulling you up with one of my Pokémon's [[move]]s!"''
:''"Hey, what's that Pokémon in front of you?! It looks SUPER strong! Kinda seems like it's waiting for you... Does it want you to follow it?"
:''"Whoa! That was amazing! That Pokémon might be as strong as mine! Maybe stronger!"
:''"Hey, heads up—some pretty rough and rowdy {{p|Houndour}} live in this cave! I'm glad you've got your bodyguard, but watch your back! They're strong!"
:''"Oh my gosh, it straight up pulverized that rock! How powerful even IS it?! I wonder what that move was. Man, I wanna see it up close!"
:''"<player>, look out! Something's coming! Behind you—it's behind you!"
:''"Heeeeeey! Up here! Quick!"
:''"Way to go! For a second, I thought you were both goners!"
:''"Whoa?! What's wrong?!
:''"Maybe it used up all its power?"
:''"What is this Pokémon, anyway? It kinda looks like a {{p|Cyclizar}}, but I've never seen one quite like this before... And now it looks so different from a minute ago. You think it's OK?"
::'''Hard to say'''/'''I don't know''': ''"You can't tell either, huh, <player>?"
:''"Well, all that aside, I'm seriously glad to have you back up here in one piece!"
:''"You know...that battle down there was really something. You and this fella looked perfectly in sync facing down that {{p|Houndoom}}!"
:''"What?! You didn't even tell it what to do?"
:''"I guess it's not like you're this Pokémon's trainer yet, huh...
:''"Oh good! Looks like it perked up a little!"
:''"Do you think this fella was the one making that mysterious cry we heard before?"
:''"Oh man, oh man, oh man! The more I look at this Pokémon, the more mysterious it seems! If you do become its Trainer, you gotta let me battle against it!"
:''"Let's exchange numbers so we can get in touch if we somehow get separated again! And here—this'll let you teach your Pokémon a move to help it battle stronger opponents! Think before you use it, though! TMs can only be used once."
:''"You've both been through enough for a minute! I think we better take a breather. Let's just get to the lighthouse—that'll be a good spot to relax."

;Poco Path
:''"Wait, I know you... Aren't you [[Arven]]? You're enrolled in the humanities track, right? And aren't you the son of that Pokémon researcher—[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}?"
:''"See, we heard this strange cry, and we tried to investigate, but <player> fell off a cliff..."
:''"That Pokémon saved {{tt|him|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}}, but it seems like it wore itself out in the process. It got kinda... slumpy afterward. But you shoulda seen it before! It looked totally different—it was unbelievably strong!"
:''"{{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}? Is that this Pokémon's name? How'd you know it?"
:''"Special how? What sort of Pokémon is it?"
::'''If Arven defeated the player''': ''"<player>... Were you going easy on him? You could have won that."
::'''If the player defeated Arven''': ''"Wow, <player>! That was awesome!"
:''"So why'd YOU have it?"
:''"What? Oye! Can you not hear me or something?"
:''"Fine, be that way! But you better actually show up for school!"
:''"What a weirdo... That Arven guy definitely knows more than he's letting on. Next time, he and I are battling! I'm gonna wring some answers outta him!"
:''"But oh, right—we gotta climb the lighthouse! Can't wait to show you the view of our school!"

*After ascending the lighthouse
:''"Look, <player>! That's [[Mesagoza]]! And that huge building with the Poké Ball on it is our school!"
:''"It's gonna be so great having you in the same class, <player>!"
::'''I'm looking forward to it!''': ''"Right? I can't wait to get back. We're gonna learn so much...and battle so, so, SO much!"
::'''But all that schoolwork...''': ''"Don't think of it as schoolwork—think of it as tons of chances to learn about Pokémon battling!"
:''"Isn't it awesome what you can see from up here?"
:''"Mountains! Forests! Grasslands! Beautiful nature stuff, as far as the eye can see! And you know what's waiting for you all over these natural spaces? Tons of Pokémon! Consider this me officially telling you: welcome to [[Paldea]]!
:''"But anyway, like you can see, it's kind of a hike to get into school from here. Let's make it to Los Platos for starters. That's right on the way!"
:''"Vamos! C'mon!"

;[[Los Platos]]
:''"Oye, <player>! Over here!"
:''"This here's a [[Pokémon Center]]!"
:''"You can come here to take care of a lot of things related to your Pokémon."
:''"But I'll leave the explanations to the pros here."
:''"[[League Point|LP]] comes in handy both at these machines and at stores! I've got a lot—here, have some!"
:''"Oh yeah, and some of these too!"
:''"And at the [[Union Circle]], you can connect with other Trainers to find yourself some adventuring companions!"
:''"We will. Thanks!"
:''"Remember: "Had a rough adventure? Get to the Pokémon Center!" Sometimes you have to know this sort of stuff for quizzes at school. But mnemonics help out! Here's another one: "'R' you ready? Then Let's Go!" Goofy, sure, but it helps you remember you can send your lead Pokémon out with the R button!"
:''"That way, you can have the Pokémon that's walking with you go pick up items lying around or go battle on its own or other stuff like that!"
:''"Now, time to go. Once we leave Los Platos, we'll hit the best-known spot in the South Province's Area One: the massive hill on the way to school!"
:''"You'll usually find Trainers there who are just itching to battle. Good luck!"

;[[South Province (Area One)]]
:''"Oyeee! <player>!"
:''"Didja battle some Trainers on the hill? Bet your Pokémon are getting stronger!"
:''"How about you show me how much you all have learned...in a battle?"
::'''Sure thing!''': ''"All right! Nothing like having a friend around!"
::'''I don't know...''': ''"If you're not sure, all the more reason to give it a shot! A nice battle will help us get to know each other better, too!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"You seem like you're getting better at this, so I'm comin' at you with TWO Pokémon this time!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"You really work your type matchups! I can tell how badly you wanna win!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"A critical hit?! Wow, nice one—I have a hard time landing those even when I try!"
::'''After the player defeats her first Pokémon''': ''"Wow, doing even better than I expected! You're legit, <player>!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her {{p|Pawmi}}''': ''"Battling you is a blast! Think I better pull out my ace in the hole!"
::'''After Terastallizing''': ''"Terastallizing is always a solid strategy! It gives moves of the Pokémon's Tera Type more power!
::'''After attacking the player's Pokémon with a not very effective move while Terastallized''': ''"Terastallizing gives a real boost, see! Even when a move isn't very effective, look how hard it hits!"
::'''After attacking the player's Pokémon with a super-effective move while Terastallized''': ''"Terastallizing gives a real boost, see! Especially if a move was already super effective!
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Man, I can't believe how fast you're improving!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Amazing! Look at you, taking on a Terastallized opponent and winning, no problem!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"I guess the hill wore you out a bit, huh? Still, even if I did take the win this time, your moves weren't bad. Not bad at all!"
:::'''Either way, if Nemona Terastallized Pawmi in battle''': ''"Come to think of it, you can't Terastallize your Pokémon yet, huh? Don't worry—I'll get you taken care of! You're so good with Pokémon battles, I forget how new you are to this stuff sometimes!"

:''"Anyway, it was fun to battle you! Here, have some Revives as thanks!"
:''"Now, Mesagoza's waiting just past this gate! At last, the city where our school is! There's a ton of hills and stairs and stuff in the city, so I'm gonna take a quick breather and then catch up with you soon!"

;Mesagoza
:''"All right, here I am! We finally made it, huh?"
:''"This is Mesagoza! The biggest city in Paldea! It's been a big trade hub since a long time ago."
:''"Lots of folks come here to learn about advances in technology and all kinds of other stuff."
:''"There's a hair salon where you can change your look, plus places with tasty food and fixings..."
:''"What do you want to see first, <player>?"
::'''The hair salon!''': ''"Oh, you're a fashionista, are you? Or maybe you just want a practical 'do that won't get in your eyes when you're battling!"
::'''Tasty food!''': ''"Hah! I didn't have you pegged for a big eater! But that's smart. You can't battle well with a growling tummy, right?"
:''"Oh, and speaking of battling..."
:''"I wanna be sure you'll be able to Terastallize your Pokémon too, <player>! There's a few things that gotta get done for that to happen, but I'll take care of 'em!"
:''"Meanwhile, you just have fun looking around the city a bit!"
:''"There's so much to do—grab a bite, buy some accessories to spice up your uniform..."
:''"If you want my personal recommendation, you've gotta see [[Delibird Presents]]! They sell handy [[item]]s for Pokémon to [[Held item|hold]]."''
:''"Once you've seen your fill, we can meet up again in front of the school! Just...be ready. The stairs up to school are no joke."
:''"Later, then! Get pumped for some Terastallizing!"

*After the player defeats the first {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}
:''"Pero bueno! What do you think you're doing?!"
:''"I can't believe you, <player>! You don't have to go find randos to battle! You'll have all the battles you'll ever need...with me!"
::'''That's really not what happened...'''/'''It was those [[Team Star]] punks...''': ''"Wait—THEY picked a fight with YOU? Wow, I read that way wrong! Sorry!"
:''"I get it now. You two have got [[Team Star]] written all over you for sure! I bet you were trying to pressure people into signing up again, weren't you?"
:''"Well, that explains it. As head of the student council, stopping this type of nonsense would normally be MY job... But this is also the perfect chance for you to try my amazing and ultra-rare gift to you!"
:''"With this [[Tera Orb]], you can Terastallize your Pokémon during battle!"
:''"Let's see. After it Terastallizes, I'm pretty sure your <first party member> will beee...a <first party member's Tera Type> type!"
:''"Normally you've gotta take special classes to be able to get one of these Tera Orbs, but I put in a good word for you!"
:''"Now, time to give it a whirl! You'll learn to use it faster in battle than if I just explain it to you!"
:''"Got a problem? You wanna battle me instead?"
:''"Then take your places, and...battle!"
::'''If the player defeated the Star Grunt without Terastallizing''': ''"Nice, <player>! You didn't even have to bother Terastallizing your Pokémon!"
::'''If you defeat the Star Grunt via Terastallizing''': ''"Nice, <player>! You pulled off Terastallizing no problem!"
:''"Moves of your Pokémon's Tera Type will hit even harder when it's Terastallized, y'know! Sometimes you'll find a Pokémon whose Tera Type is totally different from its usual type. That difference can open up your strategic options!"
:''"Gotta charge your Tera Orb at a Pokémon Center after every use by healing up your team, though."
:''"So, yeah—Team Star is basically a group of students that like to kick up trouble. They hardly ever show up to class, and when they get together in groups, they're a real headache. Even the teachers don't know what to do with 'em, from what I hear..."
:''"Awww, look at you, <player>! Already becoming a big hero around campus!"
:''"I don't think I've seen that girl around. Maybe she's a new transfer, like you... That {{p|Eevee}} bag, though! Love that fluff!"
:''"Anyway, seems like the trouble's died down, so we'd better book it up to school!"
:''"Get ready to climb the worst staircase in the world!"

;[[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}
:''"Here we are, <player>! Welcome to Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"This here's the entrance hall!"
:''"You can sign up for all kinds of classes at the desk behind me, and those halls off to the sides lead to all different parts of the school."
:''"It's totally big enough to let loose and battle in here, but for some reason, they banned Pokémon battling in the main entrance..."
:''"Well, I know how to look after my friends! Right, <player>?"
:''"Oh! But speaking of which...we saw some of those Team Star kids in town, Director!"
:''"It was down the stairs from the front gates. They were hassling this kid with an Eevee backpack..."
:''"Actually, <player> flexed on 'em and ran 'em off."
:''"Uh... Right! Yes sir, Director!"
:''"You got it, sir!"
:''"We're in class 1-A, <player>! C'mon, I'll show you the way!"

*In Class 1-A
:''"Me! I have a question!"
:''"You went to all the trouble of enrolling here, so spill, <player>... What do you hope to get out of it? You must have some kind of dream, right?"
::'''I want to complete the Pokédex''': ''"I'm glad I got you set up with that Pokédex app if you like collecting that much!"
::'''I want to be a strong Trainer''': ''"You will be! Oh, I just know it! You and me—we're going to get so strong battling together!"
::'''I don't actually know''': ''"Fair, I get it! The possibilities are endless, right? Who can decide!

*In the staff room
:''"Sure thing! You can count on me. In fact, I bet this is gonna be fun!"
:''"Oh, <player>! Hey!"
::'''Who was that?''': ''"Piqued your interest, huh?"
::'''She looked awesome!''': ''"Good eye! She sure is!"
:''"That lady is... Well, they call her [[Geeta|La Primera]]! She's strong, she can do pretty much anything, she's got cool practically coming out of her ears... She's basically everything I wanna be—or that any Pokémon Trainer would wanna be, really!"
:''"Oh! Which reminds me! Remember in homeroom when I asked you what your dream is?"
::'''If the player chose "I want to complete the Pokédex"''': ''"Now, I know you said you're all about completing the Pokédex! But hear me out..."
::'''If the player chose "I want to be a strong Trainer"''': ''"Well, since your heart's already set on becoming a really strong Trainer...I've got an idea for you!"
::'''If the player chose "I don't actually know"''': ''"If you're still trying to decide what it is you're looking for...I've got an idea for you!"
:''"You should try to reach {{pkmn|Champion}} Rank like me!
::'''Yeah, I will!''': ''"Oh wow! Hang on, though—I've got a whole spiel I wanna give you. Here goes..."
::'''I don't know...''': ''"Aww, but talent like yours deserves to be used! Hear me out..."
:''"The Trainers who reach Champion Rank are the ones who raise their Pokémon really strong. They're pro-tier battlers. Their moves keep crowds absolutely on the edge of their seats!"
:''"You have to prove yourself to the [[Paldea League|Pokémon League]] to officially get the title of Champion. And to do that, you have to do more than just take classes here."
:''"You've got to take on eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and win so you can collect their [[Gym Badges|Badge]]! Once you've done all that, all that's left is a special test—the Champion Assessment. And once you pass THAT, then at long last you'll be a Champion!"''
:''"It's every Pokémon Trainer's dream! The coolest title anyone could ever hope to get! Not to brag or anything!"
:''"I reached Champion Rank during our last Treasure Hunt, you know!"
:''"Oh, the Treasure Hunt is a special independent study thing we've got here. Should happen soon! Our last one started not long after the beginning of this school year!"
:''"It's great! You get to leave school to go have an adventure and learn however you want!"
:''"I guess you could say my journey to becoming a Champion was the treasure I found...maybe? I dunno yet if that's the answer I'm looking for..."
:''"Anyway, I've got a feeling I'd be able to get even stronger if you and I were both working at it..."
:''"Lemme go ahead and save the Gyms' locations in your map app in case you decide to go for it!"
:''"Give it some thought!"

*In the director's office
:''"Hellooo! 'Scuse me!"
:''"Oh! You're still here, <player>!"
:''"Oof. Getting called into the director's office? How'd you land in that much trouble already?! ...Naw, kidding! I know it wasn't like that."
:''"Mr. Jacq wanted me to show you the way to your room in the school dorms."
:''"Your very own private room, <player>! Let's go check it out!"
::'''If the player attempts to go anywhere else''': ''"Not there, you goofball!"

*In the player's dorm room
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! From today on, this is your room, <player>!"
:''"Actually, it's as new to me as it is to you. Never been in here before."
:''"Maybe check out your new bed? Looks comfy. And you must be pretty worn out from all this stuff happening on your very first day, huh? A quick rest on a bed is all you need to get yourself and your Pokémon healthy again!"
:''"I'll see you tomorrow, when you've rested up. Then we can battle even more! Take care!"

*The next day
:''"It's TIIIME!"
:''"I've been waiting FOREVER for this! C'mon, let's go out to the schoolyard!"
:''"We gotta go to the schoolyard! Director's orders!"

;Mesagoza
:''"What're you waiting for, <player>? Let's go!"
:''"<player>! <player>! The Treasure Hunt—it's finally starting!"
::'''What do they mean by treasure?'''/'''What're we supposed to do?''': ''"Yeah, fair question, since it's your first time! C'mon, let's walk and talk..."
:''"The Treasure Hunt is a huge part of the ;Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}} school year. The point isn't to get us all looking for some actually hidden treasure, necessarily... We're more just making our own adventures to see what experiences Paldea's got to offer! You could try to beat Pokémon Gyms, you could help out people in need... You could hunt for real capital-T treasure if you wanted, even! There's stuff we'd never learn sitting in a classroom, y'know? This is our chance to learn it!"
:''"Plus there's so many chances to battle, which is obviously perfect for me!"
:''"You and me for sure gotta battle if we run into each other out there! Hope you're ready!"
::'''Yes'''/'''No''': ''"Oh yeah—battling can wait. I meant to tell you..."
:''"Did you know your phone's map lets you set yourself destinations? You could try setting one of the Gyms as your destination! That'd get you on your way easy!"
:''"Ay! A-Arven?!"
:''"Insider advantage? Sheesh, you make it sound like we're cheating or something! All I did was suggest that {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} check out the gyms. It's up to <player> whether {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} goes."
:''"En serio? Don't go filling {{tt|his|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}} head with weird stories!"
:''"Grrr!"
:''"Wait one second! Who are you supposed to be?! And Team Star—those punks are a serious hazard! They're not <player>'s problem!"
:''"How do you know my—?"
:''"<player>... I'm glad you're making plenty of friends here, but try not to get dragged into anything dangerous."
:''"Anyway! No more weird vibes—we've got a big adventure to start! I'm gonna battle every single Pokémon Trainer I meet!"
:''"If I just keep trying to become the strongest, I bet that experience will be the thing I treasure!"
:''"Guess I'll start by heading to a Gym and training up some new Pokémon! Here, I'll send you a pic of what the Gym buildings look like!"
:''"Oh, and... I know we've been running our mouths, but it's your call what to do, <player>. Go where you want, and do what it is you really wanna do the most!"
:''"Oh my gosh! Did it just come out 'cause you said "sandwich"? Hahaha! It seems like it wants to start moving... Is it telling you to get on, <player>?"
:''"Whoa, it transformed! Now it REALLY looks like some kinda weird Cyclizar! Long as you've got Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, you can go pretty much anywhere. Paldea's your Cloyster!"
:''"But since <player> is ACTUALLY headed to take on some Gyms, I'd say go for the west gate! Besides, it's way too easy to get lost out east!"
:''"I'll head to a Gym. See you around, <player>!"
::'''If the player approaches the west exit of Mesagoza''': ''"Hey! It's me, Nemona!"
:''"We should call and catch each other up on how things are going from now on!"
:''"You decided to set out heading west from the school, right, <player>? Starting from there, you'll be pretty close to [[Cortondo]]. That's where you'll find the {{type|Bug}} Gym! You can go take on the [[Gym leader]] if you want! I'm sure you can beat [[Katy|her]], <player>!"
:''"Good luck! I'll call ya soon!"

;First Gym
:''"Oh, hey! <player>!"
:''"Came to see this Gym, huh? That can only mean one thing... You're out to earn some Gym Badges and take on the Pokémon League, aren't you?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"Yesss! I knew it! I'm so glad I asked you to do it!"
::'''No''': ''"Yeah, sure you're not! Just came to the Gym for some sight-seeing, right? Hah! You fibber!"
:''"Before you can battle the Gym Leader, you've gotta pass a certain challenge set by them—their Gym Test. Every Gym's test is different. If you ask the lobby staff about it, they'll tell you what's up!"
:''"Here, have these! When you use 'em, consider it me healing up your Pokémon!"
:''"Ahhh, I'm so glad you're aiming to be a Champion, too! This is the best news ever! Man, I'm so excited, I can barely stand still... Guess I'll just go battle every Trainer I run into!"

*After defeating the first Gym Leader
:''"Hey hey, <player>!"
:''"Just had to tell you—my Pokémon are learning some pretty cool new moves! Be ready!"
:''"How'd it go at the Gym, by the way?"
::'''I passed!''': ''"Yesss! Hah haaa! I mean, it was obvious you were gonna pass, but congrats!"
::'''Pretty rough...''': ''"Pfft! Sure, you big joker! I bet you walked out with a badge, didn't you?"
:''"I'm so glad I encouraged you to take on the Gyms. Nice job, past me!"
:''"I'm training hard too, by the way—day and night! Going all over the place to boot!"
:''"Thank goodness we've got the map app. It helps a ton with figuring out where to go next—especially in a huge place like Paldea! After all, the path to getting stronger usually has some strange stops and detours!"
:''"Hm. Speaking of going strange places, I wonder what Arven's up to..."
:''"Anyway, catch you later! I hope you know I'm gonna want a battle if we run into each other!"

;Second Gym
:''"Vaya! <player>?!"
:''"It's so wild that we ended up randomly visiting the same Gym at the same time—again! What a weird coincidence..."
:''"I swear I'm not just sneaking ahead of you so I can lie in wait and go, "Oh wow, weird, might as well battle now that you're here! No, seriously! Look, to prove it, I won't even challenge you to a battle this time! Much as I'd like to..."
:''"But look at you and your Pokémon! It's/They've definitely gotten stronger since last time!"
:''"Add these to the mix, and you'll be 100 percent set to go, no problem!"
:''"I'll be cheering for ya! I'll go train, like, maybe 20 Pokémon or so while you tackle the Gym!"

;Third Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Hey, <player>! It's meee!"
:''"How's the Gym journey? Which one are you going for now?"
:''"Wait, seriously? I'm close by! Hang on, I'll come say hi."
:''"Hey hey! There you are!"
:''"Look at you with two Gym Badges already. Awesome!"
:''"And this is the Gym you chose to be number three, huh?"
:''"Well, you're up to the challenge for sure! But, like, just to be safe... you probably better have a pre-Gym warm-up battle with me!"
::'''Yeah, let's!''': ''"Yeeeah! There's that enthusiasm!"
::'''Maybe not''': ''"I reeeally think you'll be glad you had some practice. This Gym Leader's tough!"
:''"Now, let's go!"
:''"C'mon, the field of battle awaits!"
:''"Before you take on a Gym, it's good to see if you can find the battle court in town and check it out. It helps to see where the court is, what it's made of—stuff like that. Those things might affect how the battle goes!"
:''"Y'know, <player>, one look at your face, and it's obvious that you're getting even stronger!"
:''"I think it's time I started introducing you to some of my harder hitters!"
:''"All right... Ready?"
:''"Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Think of this as a practice run for your next Gym battle. Come at me with everything you got!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"Oooh, nice moves! Your skills sure are ripening!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"Maybe people who can throw Poké Balls better are better at landing critical hits, too..."
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Don't pat yourself on the back just yet! My next Pokémon's gonna turn the tables!
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Since you have a Tera Orb too, we can both Terastallize our Pokémon fair and square!
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Let's try out that new move of yours!"
:::'''{{m|Water Pulse}}''': ''Use Water Pulse, {{p|Quaxwell}}!"
:::'''{{m|Incinerate}}''': ''"Use Incinerate, {{p|Crocalor}}!"
:::'''{{m|Magical Leaf}}''': ''"Use Magical Leaf, {{p|Floragato}}!"
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Hahaha! Yup, your skills are ripening quick!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Man, you sure battle like someone with more than two Gym Badges!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Oof, sorry! That's my bad for sending out such strong Pokémon."

:''"Well, that was a great battle! Fruitful for sure!"
:''"Here, take these as thanks!"
:''"I'd challenge you again literally right now...but Champions have to be understanding. So I'll hang back and respect your time!"
:''"Keep on collecting badges for now, and let's battle next time we run into each other at a Gym!"
:''"And, <player>? I hope you get even stronger. Like, way...way...WAY stronger! And once you do, you and me can just battle our hearts out!"
:''"All right, time for you to whup that Gym Test. Thanks for this!"

;Fourth Gym
*After defeating the fourth Gym Leader
:''"Oh, <player>! Hola!"
:''"Caught you just as you finished up in here, huh? Nice work!"
:''"That puts you four badges in now, right? Man, that's awesome!"
:''"I can't believe you're halfway through your Gym journey already! Your efforts are bearing so much fruit so quickly!"
:''"It makes me wanna just challenge you to a battle right here, right now!"
:''"But...I'm gonna have to wait. 'Cause I put together my team of Pokémon specifically to take on the Gym Leader... Dang it!"
:''"When I battle you, I wanna do it under the best possible conditions! Which means this time, I've gotta ask for a rain check."
:''"Guhhh, this is the worst timing ever! Sorry, <player>! Forgive me! Forgive meee!"

;Fifth Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Heeey, <player>!"
:''"I saw you going into the Gym and came running!"
:''"Listen, I'm really sorry I couldn't battle you last time we ran into each other."
:''"Wait—don't get me wrong! I didn't chase you down just to battle you!"
:''"Then again...I guess I wouldn't MIND a battle or anything, if you wanted to... What do you say?"
::'''Sure!''': ''"Yesss! Battle tiiime! You and me, <player>!"
::'''Maybe not''': ''"C'mon! It'll just be, like, a really short battle! I'll only use four Pokémon! I promise!"
:''"Wait, hold on... I wanna be sure to pick the right Pokémon for where you're at in your journey."
:''"Sorry, gimme a sec to fine-tune my team! Then we can battle!"
:''"In fact, while you're waiting, go ahead and take on the Gym!"

*After defeating the fifth Gym Leader
:''"Hey hey, player! I've got my team all picked out!"
:''"And I saw you battling the Gym Leader! You just keep getting better!"
:''"Whoa! Wait! La Primera? With <player>?"
::'''Why do you call her that?'''/'''Is that important?''': ''"Wait, did I forget to give you the full explanation?!"
:''"Everyone calls Ms. Geeta "La Primera" because she's just that—she's the real number one, even higher than us regular Champions... She's the Top Champion!"
:''"I thought you were too busy to spend your time checking in on Gyms!"
:''"Whoaaa. I look away for one second and you're famous, <player>?!"
:''"But hey—I found <player> first!"
:''"You may be La Primera, but you can't go stealing {{tt|him|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}} from me!"
:''"That's right! C'mon, <player>. Time for our battle!"
:''"Quick, let's gooo! The battlefield's callin'!"
:''"Huh? What is it?"
:''"Oooh, haha! Totally fine by me!"
:''"Sounds fun, right, <player>?"
:''"You remember how it all works, right? Once you get badges from all the Gyms...you get to throw down against the strongest Pokémon Trainers around!"
:''"Collecting eight Gym Badges sets you up to take the Champion Assessment. If you can face the challenge of the final examiner and win, you'll become a Champion!"
:''"Just imagine how that moment would feel. Try getting into that Champion mindset!"
:''"Now, set your sights on reaching that big, important stage...and let's battl—"
:''"Sorry! Got a little caught up in my battle hunger."
:''"Well, you should all be in great shape now thanks to La Primera!"
:''"OK, <player>. Time to put our game faces back on!"
:''"Let's have us another fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"I know La Primera's watching, but no need to get worked up. Just stay cool!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"Oof, that was a good one! Your move really had some zing to it!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"Whoa—a critical hit, right when it counts! Luck's on your side for sure!"
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Haha, wow! You seeing this, Primera? I'm getting backed right into a corner!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Time to Terastallize! Watch—I'm gonna make La Primera's eyes light up!"
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"OK, I'm pulling out all the stops! Get ready—I wanna see you stand up to this!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': ''"People are gonna start paying more and more attention to you—I just know it!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Now even La Primera thinks you're one to watch. You've got so much potential! The way you're going, I better watch my back!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Did battling in front of La Primera give you the jitters, maybe? Well, I might've won, but it was obvious how much you've bonded with your Pokémon!"

:''"Y'know, since the first time we met, I've been weirdly sure of one thing..."
:''"You're gonna become a Champion—no doubt about it, <player>!"
:''"The rest of these Gyms? You can take 'em! Hundred percent, no problem!"
:''"One day, <player>, you and me are gonna have the greatest battle of all! I know it!"
:''"I'm gonna go train up—even more than I already have been!"

;Seventh Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Hey, I heard the good news! Congrats on Gym Badge number six! Not even a tenth of the Trainers who take on the Gyms get this far, y'know!"
:''"But I'm not surprised that you made it. I just KNEW there was a reason you caught my eye!"
::'''Thanks!''': ''"Oh please! I should be the one thanking you!"
::'''I don't know...''': ''"Well, trust me—I could tell from our very first battle you were gonna grow seriously strong!"
:''"Aaanyway...I bet you could use a little warming up before you take on the Gym, huh?"
:''"C'mon! You know the drill by now!"
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Here's our battle court for today!"
:''"OK, right... Mm-hmm! Always important to check what environment your Pokémon'll be battling in!"
:''"The battlefield can have these teeny effects on your Pokémon's balance and stuff, y'know?"
:''"Anyway, sorry I sorta dragged you here. But a little pre-Gym warming up should do you good!"
:''"Now c'mon, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Show me the battle skills that got you six badges!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"That stung...but you're not the only one who can hit hard when it counts!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"That's the thrill of battles—you never know what's gonna happen next!"
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Trading attacks on the brink of winning or losing gives me chills! Let's see who gets the win!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Here comes the fun part! Time to make this Tera Orb shine!"
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Get ready—this move is gonna hit with the force of all my training!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': ''"I knew I was right to believe in you!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"That's an L for me! Man, you've gotten so good!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"That's a W for me! You battled real well, though!"

:''"I think that should be enough of a warm-up!"
:''"You and your Pokémon should be all set now. Here—take these as thanks for the battle!"
:''"There's just two Gyms remaining. Then all that'll be left is to try out to be a Champion! Give it all you got!"
:''"Now let's get you back to the Gym lobby!"

;Eighth Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"<player>!"
:''"It's finally time for your last Gym, right? I heard from [[Rika]]!"
:''"But I'm zero percent worried about you. I know you got this!"
:''"Even La Primera seems like she wants to keep an eye on you..."
:''"Maybe I'll go find her so we can cheer you on together when you battle the Gym Leader!"
:''"So go have a battle that's fruitful for you AND for the crowd!"

*After defeating the eighth Gym Leader
:''"<player>! <first party member>! You did it! Aaah, I'm so happy for you! This is the best!"
:''"I know I said I wasn't worried, but my heart was still pounding the whole time!"
:''"Seriously. Pat yourself on the back—you beat every single Gym!"
:''"Which means..."
:''"Yeah—hurry up and get to my rank! I'm itching for a battle of equals!"
:''"I've gotta take the time while you're facing the Pokémon League to fine-tune my Pokémon's moves and revamp all my tactics!"
:''"Well, good luck, <player>! And wish me luck, too!"

;{{pal|Pokémon League}}
:''"<player>! <player>!"
:''"Oh man, I can tell just looking at you! You did it, right? You became a Champion?"
::'''No''': ''"Ha, you've got jokes! But seriously—you did become a Champion, right?"
::'''No''': ''"C'mon, it's me! You don't have to lie! Just tell me—you became a Champion, right?!"
::'''No''': ''"OK, wait! You DID become a Champion, though, didn't you?!"
::'''No''': ''"You! Champion! Yes?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"Ha haaa! I knew all along!"
:''"I got word from La Primera when you cleared the Elite Test!"
:''"Oh man, <player>! I'm a Champion, and now, you're a Champion! Which means we're true equals! You and me, both Champion-ranked Trainers! This is amazing!"
:''"Now that you've made it here, I've got one thing to say."
:''"Let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"Oops! Couldn't hear you! I'll say it again: let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"Sorry, not going to stop until I hear a yes— let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"OK, wait! You WILL be my rival, won't you?!"
::'''No''': ''"You! Me! Rivals! Yes?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"YESSS! Toma ya!"
:''"All right! You know what rivals do? Battle their absolute hearts out! I'm gonna hit you with EVERYTHING this time! You ready?!"
:''"Huh? What's the matter, Primera?"
:''"Urk. Right... There I go getting overexcited again! Sorry, <player> and <first party member>."
:''"Hmm... Now that you mention it, that's a good point."
:''"In that case, can we use one of the Pokémon League battle courts?"
::'''Out behind your house''': ''"Haha! Our beach out back, huh? Yeah, the place where we had our first battle might work. But on the other hand, to me it's just kind of... my backyard, y'know? A little ordinary. Anyplace else come to mind?"
::'''Mesagoza''': ''"Mesagoza? Oooh, good call! The place where we set out on our journey!"
::'''The Treasure Eatery''': ''"Ah, are you thinking of it 'cause it's got the Medali Gym's battle court? I guess it does bring back memories...of [[Larry]]..."
:''"That reminds me, <player>...Remember back when Director Clavell explained the Treasure Hunt? Y'know how he told us to go in search of our own treasure?"
:''"Well, I know what treasure I got out of all this: I found a true rival—someone who can stand up to me at my full capabilities. That's right—I mean you! I'm so glad I got to meet you, <player>!"
:''"Anyway, that being said... I'll be waiting for you at the battle court in Mesagoza's central plaza! See ya there!"

;Mesagoza
:''"Any second now...Ah! There you are, <player>!"
:''"You ready for a battle between Champions? 'Cause all these folks here seem ready to watch. Word got around, I guess!"
:''"And out of every single person gathered here...I'm the most excited by a mile!"
:''"The stage is set! It's my all-out power...versus your strength in full fruition!"
:''"Let's see who comes out on top!"

* In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Finally, the thing I've waited all this time for! Time to begin our greatest battle of all!"
:: '''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"To think I helped teach you type matchups— and now you're using 'em to put the hurt on me!"
:: '''After first landing a super-effective move on the player's Pokémon''': ''"How do you like my REAL hard hits? Man, it feels good to finally let loose!"
:: '''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"A critical hit at a critical moment! That goes beyond luck—you've got some kind of gift!"
:: '''After first landing a critical hit on the player's Pokémon''': ''"See that crit? I clinched that through sheer determination to win!"''
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"It's all down to this—my last Pokémon. We're gonna fight with everything we've got!"''
:: '''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Shine blazingly bright, my greatest treasure!"
:: '''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Get ready to see how strong {{tt|Quaquaval|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Skeledirge|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Meowscarada|if the player picked Fuecoco}} has grown since the day we all met!"

*After battle
:''"You..."
:''"YOU DID IT!"
:''"This is legit incredible! You're the strongest out there, <player>!"
:''"I mean, you knocked me flat, and I was giving you absolutely everything I had!"
:''"Everything I...I...Ha haaa! Hahaha!"
:''"Oh man. Pokémon battling, am I right? It's so much better—so much more fun than I ever even knew!"
:''"Thanks for that incredible match. You beat me for real this time!"
:''"Now let's give ourselves a minute and have a quick break, <player>...before round two!"
:''"Which Pokémon should I bring out this time? Decisions, decisions!"

;[[Zero Gate]]
:''"Hola, <player>!"
:''"Arven said there'd be tons of [[Paradox Pokémon|strong Pokémon]], so here I am!
:''"Spoken like a guy who wants to get beaten in a battle!"
:''"But more importantly—why's it so dark? And where're the awesome Pokémon?!"
:''"Well, NOW the lights are on!"
:''"Oh! It's you—the kid with the fluffy Eevee bag!"
:''"Well, hey! We never got to actually talk! I'm Nemona! I'm in class 1-A! You must be some kind of tech whiz! Do you like Pokémon battling too?!"
:''"What? That's Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}?!"
:''"Of course, Professor! Oh my gosh, it's such an honor to meet you in person! I mean, maybe not "in person" exactly..."
:''"Must not be..."
:''"I wonder if the professor's any good at Pokémon battling..."
:''"Oooh! It opened for us automatically!"
:''"I can't wait to see what Pokémon live down in Area Zero! Let's go!"
:''"Whoa-ho-ho! Look, <player>! This is even higher up than looking down from the top of a lighthouse!"
:''"What's the matter with it?"
:''"Well, no wonder! But no need to be scared if we go together!"

;[[Area Zero]]
:''"E-everyone! You have to see this!"
:''"Area Zero is AMAZING! Come on already!"
:''"Aw, you were worried about us? That's so sweet!"
:''"Yesss! Let's disable the four locks and get into that lab!"
:''"Sounds kinda video-gamey when you say it out loud, huh?"
:''"Come on, time to find our way to the deepest part of Area Zero!"

*While walking
:''"Normally we'd never be able to get in here to see it for ourselves!"
:''"Huh...? Wait, where'd Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} go?"
:''"En serio? That's not good."
:''"OK, come on, you two! This is an adventure! Let's just have a good time!"
:''"So, [[Penny]]! How'd you wind up friends with <player>, anyway?"
:''"Guau! So {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} helped you out too while {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} was tackling all the Gyms? That's awesome!"
:''"<player> and I are classmates! Neighbors back home, too!"
:''"Plus, I said {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} should aim to be a Champion, and {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} did it! So now I've got a Champion bud!"
:''"Hahaha! Guess we're all in the "buds with <player>" club!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 1
:''"Oh! I bet that's what we're looking for!"
:''"That must be one of the buildings the professor was talking about!"
:''"Wow, you have such a great memory, Penny!"
:''"That's a Pokémon La Primera uses! I didn't know that species could be found in the [[Great Crater of Paldea|Great Crater]]!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's take it on together!"
:''After the player and Nemona defeat a wild [[Glimmora]]:
:''"Are there gonna be a lot more of these rare Pokémon down here, you think?"
:''"Easy, you two! Let's just head inside the research station."
::'''If the player tries to walk away from the building''': ''"Hey, <player>! Don't you think this might be one of those research station things? We should see if we can get in!"

*At Research Station No. 1
:''"Wow! Are these ancient ruins?!"
:''"So that's why there's a bed!"
:''"Looks like we can use this place to rest up if we need to!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"Looks like you could get a decent rest on the bed here if you and your team get tired. Although it looks kinda...mildewy..."
::'''If the player tries to leave without disabling a lock''': ''"Where're you going? Don't we still need to disable that lock?"

*While walking
:''"Penny! Shhh!"
:''"That's the spirit, you two!"
:''"Really? What kind of Pokémon was it?!"
:''"You sure it wasn't just a Pokémon that's a little more, I dunno, rampagey{{sup/9|S}}/roboty{{sup/9|V}} than average?"
:''"It was that strong, huh?"
:''"Then I really hope I get to see it!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 2
:''"Phew! Let's... Let's head in and...take a breather..."
:''"Heh heh... Hoo... I'm just full of surprises!
:''"It was definitely kinda...ferocious{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical-looking{{sup/9|V}} for a Jigglypuff{{sup/9|S}}/Delibird{{sup/9|V}}, wasn't it?"

*At Research Station No. 2
:''"Well, this looks pretty much the same as the first research station."
:''"Seems like wild Pokémon don't come in here. We should be safe to catch our breath!"
:''"So they...aren't actually Pokémon?"
:''"What do you think, <player>?"
::'''I don't think they're regular Pokémon''': ''"Hmm, maybe... They definitely do look different, at least. And I've never seen any of 'em in a Pokédex, either."
::'''I think they really are just Pokémon''': ''"Yeah, same! I mean, they LOOK different, sure, but they use moves and battle just like the Pokémon we know!"
:''"Professor!"
:''"What?! That's AWESOME!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"I can't believe I get to battle Pokémon from a whole different era! This is incredible! I'm so glad I came here with you!"

*While walking
:''"My parents? Normal, I guess."
:''"Wait, how do you know that?!"
:''"Ugh! No! No way! That's so not my thing."
:''"Though, yeah..."
:''"I guess you could say Mother and Father were, like...hands-off but in a good way?"
:''"My big sister'll probably take over the business, so they pretty much let me do what I wanted."
:''"Gaah! Cállate, Penny! What, is your family super normal, then?"
:''"Like super overprotective, you mean?"
:''"Uhhhhhh...<player>! How 'bout you? Your mother seemed super nice."
:''"Yup! Got a glimpse of an amazing-looking sandwich she made, too!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 3
:''"Nice! We get to chill for a minute!"
:''"Ha! Oh, Penny. Such a worrywart!"
:''"Whoa, you've battled one of these before, Arven? It looks seriously strong!"
:''"You two got to meet one of these Pokémon before our crater get-together? Jealous!"

*At Research Station No. 3
:''"Aaand made it to station number three!"
:''"How we doing after all that walking and battling and whatnot? Anyone need a rest?"
:''"You feeling rough, Penny?"
:''"Huh... I think you're onto something! It is kinda giving off ancient{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} vibes. Even its name sounds...past-y{{sup/9|S}}/future-y{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"Wait a sec—I totally forgot! Hey, Arven! You had Koraidon's{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon's{{sup/9|V}} ball! And you told us about its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] in the first place! You must know something about it, right?!"
:''"Professor!"
:''"What if they're family?! The other one could still be somewhere in Area Zero, waiting to finally be reunited with our Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"Exactly! Imagine how thrilled they'll be if we can get the family back together after all this time!"
:''"You can leave any wild Pokémon up to me! I'll have 'em beat in no time so we can march on!"

*While walking
:''"So Koraidon's{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon's{{sup/9|V}} an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon... No wonder no one's seen it before!"
:''"<player>! You've gotta let me battle Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} right now!"
:''"Oh. Right..."
:''"So that's why you knew so much about it!"
:''"You should be sorry! Shoot—that's, like, the coolest thing ever, and you didn't tell any of us!"
:''"So Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} came to our age through the time machine..."
:''"Then it lived here awhile with the professor? Along with another one of its kind?"
:''"So we...brought it back home, kind of! Or to its second home, at least!"
:''"Awww, that's great! A chance to unwind and bask in the familiarity!"
:''"Really? I thought it was just scared 'cause we were so high up."
:''"Aw, Penny..."
:''"But that's so sad! We gotta do something to make it feel better!"
:''"And no, I'm NOT just saying that 'cause I super badly wanna battle Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} myself!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 4
:''"Oh my gosh, look at all these huge, gorgeous crystals! They go all the way to the bottom!"
:''"Oh, good call! Watch your step!"
:''"This place looks unreal. Maybe there really is treasure down here like the stories say!"

*At Research Station No. 4
:''"Whoa, what happened? This place is a mess!"
:''"Why is everything in here all busted up?"
:''"The professor must be having some...some weird connection problems or something, huh?"
:''"Looking at the damage, I have a feeling...maybe some ferocious Pokémon battled here..."
:''"What do you mean, Arven...?"

*While walking
:''"Maybe it was just a little dramatic flair to get us all jazzed for more adventuring!"
:''"Yeah! Maybe even big-time jazzed!"
:''"What's wrong, Arven?"

*Outside the Zero Lab
:''"We made it! Ready to see if those legends of treasure down here are for real?!"
:''"That's where you are, right, Professor?"
:''"You've got me and <player> here! Doesn't matter what we're up against. We'll be fine!"
:''"Huh? Why? We're finally on the cusp of getting into the lab!"
:''"Yeah, if Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} were like how we first saw it in the Inlet Grotto, that'd be a huge help!"
:''"I wanna see it battle!"
:''"That's pretty sensible by your standards, Arven!"
:''"Go on, <player>! Let Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} out!"
::'''No''': ''"C'mon, it'll be fine! Even if Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} can't fight, I'll protect it! OK?"
:''"The family reunion! It's happening!"
:''"Huh? What's wrong?"
:''"Are you bummed that your heartwarming family reunion got cut off so quickly?"
:''"Wait, for real?!"
:''"But didn't the professor say the dangerous Pokémon would come out from inside?"
:''"We're surrounded!"
:''"Then I guess it's my turn! I've been waitin'!"
:''"C'mon, <player>! Let's do this together!"

:''"Wow, they're strong! Now THIS is a worthwhile challenge!"
* After the player helps Penny defeat an escaping {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}

:''"Did you already beat all the baddies without me?!"
:''"Is another army of Pokémon on its way here?!"
:''"Wait, what?!"

*When the player is in battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol
:''"It's true—our Poké Balls won't work! How are we even supposed to battle?!"
:''"It changed into its battle form! Let's go, Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}—you got this!"
:''"Oh man, can we really not pull off a win here? This doesn't look good..."
:''"Go for it, <player>! Time to Terastallize and use {{m|Tera Blast}}!"

*After the player has defeated the Paradise Protection Protocol
:''"YOU DID IT!"
:''"What?! You can't just leave now—right when we finally reached you!"
:''"Arven... You OK, bud?"
:''"I guess Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} is sad, too... Oh, but that battle form! How cool is that? It's so strong!"
:''"Hey now, let's not skip over the big win here! <player> and Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} just saved all of Paldea!"
:''"What should we do now, <player>?"

*In the director's office
:''"Guess we'll find out soon enough!"
:''"Heh. You've got us there."
:''"Oooh! I know how we should celebrate! We should hold a Pokémon battle contest!"
:''"La Primera?!"
:''"Whoaaa! We'd get to battle the TEACHERS! You'd compete too, right, Primera?!"
:''"Awww! Can't you free up some time somehow?"
:''"You get to have all-out battles with the Gym Leaders?! Man, I'm jealous..."
:''"This is awesome, <player>!"
:''"Show this inspection thing who's boss so that La Primera can join our tournament, OK? And enjoy taking another swing at the Gym gauntlet while you're at it!"
:''"I'll take care of filling out the forms and other administrative stuff so the ball gets rolling on the tournament in the meantime!"

*In the player's dorm room
:''"Hey, <player>!"
:''"I'm so glad we juuust managed to get everything ready for the [[Academy Ace Tournament]]."
:''"Oh yeah—that's what we decided to officially name the tournament! It's a good name, right? Fitting, memorable?"
:''"But then Arven went and said we should call it the "School Battle Brawl"...And then even Director Clavell got into calling it that, so now I'm just like...agh!"
:''"Anyway, how you feelin', <player>? In the mindset to do some winning?"
::'''Yes''': ''"There's that enthusiasm! Show us what a Champion's made of!"
::'''No''': ''"Pffft, ha! The old "nooo, I'm still sleepy" routine? Good joke!"
:''"It's so cool that La Primera's gonna make a guest appearance, thanks to your hard work!"
:''"I wish I didn't have my hands full with all the behind-the-scenes admin stuff."
:''"I won't even get to do any battling myself...But I'll seize the chance to do some objective research into what makes YOU so good!"
:''"Anyway, let's get going. I'll meet you at the front desk in the entrance hall! No stalling!"

*In the entrance hall
:''"There you are, <player>."
:''"You've gotta go through the application process with a staffer before you can actually participate in the tournament!"
:''"Ready for that explanation now, mister!"
:''"Thanks very much!"
:''"We hashed out the tournament rules with help from Director Clavell."
:''"Based on the number of entrants so far, you'd probably have to win four times to take it all!"
:''"Don't forget you might go up against the faculty, too. They're tough stuff...so good luck and go be even tougher!"
:''"The only person allowed to beat you is me!"

;Academy Ace Tournament
*First time
:''"<player>! You did it! You DID it!"
:''"Oh my gosh, YES! This is everything I wanted!"
:''"Absolutely! I wouldn't miss it for anything!"

*Before battle
:''"Yesss! You and me, bringin' it home for the finale, <player>! I'm so psyched! Time for us Champions to let loose!"

*In battle
::'''Upon sending out last Pokémon''': "You're doing awesome! But my last Pokémon is gonna clinch us the win!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing''': "Time to Terastallize! Get ready for a bright, shiny beatdown!"
::'''When Nemona uses her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': "I'm about to hit you with all I've got! But I know you're ready for it, rival!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': "Well, that stinks, but I still had fun! I'll getcha next time!"

*After battle
::'''Upon being defeated''': "That battle was the best! Thanks—I mean it. And hey, you went and won it all! Felicidades!"

;Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}
*In the entrance hall
:''"<player>! You DID it! Congratulations on winning it all!"
:''"I'm so happy, it almost made me forget the pain of everyone using Arven's stupid "School Battle Brawl" name!"
:''"Oh yeah—here's your prize! Director Clavell told me he got caught up in all the excitement and forgot to give it to you!"
:''"So I guess you get the strongest-in-the-school throne for now, <player>. Keep it warm for me!"
:''"I'm gonna be in the tournament next time, and I'll be coming right for ya!"
:''"Whenever you feel like entering the tournament again, just talk to the staffer at the front desk."
:''"Y'know, <player>... I've relished every day since you moved here to Paldea and became my rival. I'm so glad I met you. I mean it!"
::'''Me too—I mean it!'''/'''It's been great!''': ''"Heh! C'mon. Don't make me blush!"
:''"Anyway, I'll be seeing you on the battle court... for a good long time to come!"

*In the schoolyard
:''"Oooh—hey, <player>!"
:''"Great timing! I've been having the hardest time lining up opponents to battle! But now I found you—in the schoolyard, no less! It'd be silly NOT to battle! Whaddya say?"
::'''Sure!''': ''"I knew I could count on you!"
::'''Well...''': ''"Pfft, haha! You kidder, pretending like you're not itching to battle! C'mon, let's get down to it."
:''"Ahhh, good stuff!"
:''"Gotta step up my game so I'll be ready anytime for that Academy Ace Tournament!"
:''"I know I sprang my battle fever on you out of nowhere. Thanks for being up for it!"

*In the cafeteria
:''"So you're good for a battle, right? Great! Meet you at the schoolyard in a minute?"
:''"Yep, that's me!"
:''"<player>! Hola!"
::'''Who was that?'''/'''Friend of yours?''': ''"Oh, him? Dunno who he was!"
:''"I was just munching my sandwich and I heard him bragging about his tough Pokémon, so I invited him to battle!"
:''"I wonder what Pokémon he's gonna use? Can't wait to see!"
:''"Wait, I forgot to get his contact info! How are we supposed to plan when we'll face off?"
:''"Oh well. I'll make sure we battle next time I run into him!"
:''"Anyway, guess you came to get some grub, huh?"
:''"Well, I'm not one to stand between someone and their meal! Catch you later!"

*In the school store
:''"Better stock up real good on Poké Balls while I'm here..."
:''"<player>!"
:''"Oh my gosh, listen to this. Remember that guy from the cafeteria?"
:''"I ran into him again in the entrance hall, so I asked him to battle...but he said no!"
:''"He was like, "What's the point? You're a Champion and a battle whiz—you'd wreck me!" I don't get what he meant! I mean, you can have fun battling even if you lose, right?"
::'''Yeah, you can''': ''"For real! I mean, sure, no one loves losing, but it's definitely not pointless. It teaches you stuff!"
::'''Winning's nice, though...''': ''"Yeeeah, I guess so... Obviously I'd rather win than lose, but I just think it's better to go into things with a "losing can be fun, too" attitude!"
:''"Man... Pokémon battles can get so complicated sometimes."
:''"Oh, and I wish he hadn't called me a whiz! I work hard at this stuff. It's not like it all just comes naturally to me! Like, throwing Poké Balls obviously doesn't come naturally to me, for one thing..."
:''"I think I need a mental reset. I'm gonna go find someone to battle!"
:''"See you soon, <player>!"

*In Class 1-A
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I had a feeling you'd turn up if I hung out here for a while..."
:''"And lo and behold, I was right!"
:''"Well, now that I've found you, we should swing by my room and have a chat!"

*In her dorm room
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Welcome to the Zona Nemona!"
::'''It's so tidy!'''/'''It's very you!''': ''"Aw, thank— Wait a sec... I know we've been to YOUR room before...But have I never had you over here? Wild!"
:''"Anyway, uh... Listen, <player>. You know how I, well..."
:''"You know how I really like Pokémon battles? Like, really, REALLY like 'em?"
::'''Yeah, you sure do'''/'''I noticed''': ''"Cool. And yeah, you know how when you really like something, you dive in deep?"
:''"That's what I did with Pokémon battles, and I... just kinda became a Champion?"
:''"But then I found out that's pretty special—that normally, it's not so simple for most people."
:''"People would tell me to my face that I'd only managed it 'cause I have some innate gift, or 'cause I was raised differently, or whatever. And suddenly I started to feel like there was this invisible wall between me and everyone else."
:''"So I started going easy when I'd battle my friends. I just wanted everyone to have fun."
:''"Oh, but don't worry, I'm not doing that anymore! I'm going 100-percent all out!"
:''"Especially since I'm lucky enough to have an opponent around who can beat me even when I'm in full hard-core mode!"
:''"So just promise me one thing, OK, <player>? Promise you'll always stay my equal! You and me, true rivals!"
::'''You know it!'''/'''That's what friends are for!''': ''"Heh heh. You're the best, <player>. Thank you!"
:''"Oof, that got pretty personal! Little bit embarrassed over here..."
:''"Anyway! Since we're equals, I gotta start having you over as much as we hang out in your room!"
:''"Feel free to burst on into the Zona Nemona whenever you want!"
:''"And get ready for the Academy Ace Tournament, 'cause I'm gonna stomp ya this time!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"I'm making my Pokémon some food! Y'know, I think "a tablespoon" means different amounts to different people..."

:''"Thanks! Now let's battle!"''
:''"That space in front of the community center looked like a good battle spot!"''
:''"Vamos! C'mon!"''

*At the community center, if talked to
:''"You weren't kidding. Kieran's great! Lemme see, which Pokémon should I use for our NEXT battle?"''
:''"Kieran, you're so good! That was awesome! No wonder you were the Champion of that fancy-pants school of yours!"''
:''"Does it really matter? Whether you win or lose, Pokémon battles are a blast!"''
:''"Hey now!"''
:''"See?"''
:''"Is this your big sister, Kieran? Do you think she wants in on the battle fun too?"''

*At Kieran and Carmine's house
:''"You sure you don't want to stay with your sister?"''
:''"I know zilch about curses, but could something like this have happened before? You ever heard any old stories or legends about it?"''
:''"Yeah, for sure..."''
:''"Yeah, let's do this! If we get to battle a curse, I'm so here for it!"''

*If talked to before returning to the community center
:''"If this is something we can beat by battling, then you know I'm all over it!"''

*Upon entering the community center
:''"I got some soda!"''
:''"Yup, no problem! It's so close-by! There was nobody there, so I just left money on the counter. Do you think that was OK?"''
:''"When I see a "Help yourself" sign, I don't ignore it! There was just one mochi left, though."''

* First visit
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Hey, <player>! I’m heeere! Man, Blueberry Academy’s awesome!"''
:''"It’s wild how different Blueberry Academy is from our school back home, huh?"''
:''"I snagged a quick look inside the Terarium. I can’t believe it’s all underwater! It all looks just like... regular above-water!"''
:''"And I heard the school puts a super-heavy focus on Pokémon battling, too! That means I can battle to my heart’s content here, right? Right?!"''
::'''Yeah! Great, right?''': ''"Yesss! As soon as I’ve taken care of what you called me for, I gotta battle every student here!"''
::'''Uh, within reason''': ''"Oh, yeah! Sorry! You’re right—I need to save some energy to battle you too!"''
:''"Y’know, I’m really glad you invited me, <player>! Thanks so much!"''

* Second visit
:''"I had a walk around the Terarium, and there were SO MANY Pokémon I’d never seen before!"''
:''"I thought about this a lot in Kitakami, too—it’s so cool seein’ unfamiliar Pokémon just living their lives as they do in nature!"''
:''"Reading about ’em in textbooks can’t hold a candle to seeing ’em for real, y’know?"''
:: '''It’s so real this way! / It’s so novel this way!''': ''"Exacto! You get me!"''
:''"Though, come to think of it, I guess there was a time when even the wild Pokémon of Paldea were brand-new to me!"''
:''"I actually moved to Paldea when I was seven. I hadn’t had a taste of Pokémon battles yet back then. Sometimes I forget what it was like being that age!"''
:''"I guess it’s good to keep having that same sense of wonder as when we were young!"''

* Third visit
:''"So, <player>! You know about the BB League, don’t you?"''
:: '''Sure I do!''': ''"I KNEW it! Why didn’t you tell me right away?!"''
:: '''First I’ve heard of it...''': ''"I’m not falling for that! I’ve done my homework!"''
: ''"And what’s more, everyone’s saying the Champion of this League is YOU!"''
:: '''It’s true!''': ''"You ARE the Champion! C’mon, you shoulda told me the awesome news sooner!"''
:: '''First I’ve heard of it...''': ''"You can’t fool me! I’ll call witnesses if I have to!"''
: ''"I am just drooling to battle the Champion of the BB League! But even more importantly..."''
: ''"I’m SO proud that my rival’s been smashing it all over the place!"''
: ''"So...I guess what I’m saying is...I shall forever remain proud to be your rival!"''
: ''"Whoops, I got a little formal there. Just too struck by your accomplishments, I guess!"''
: ''"Y’know, it just occurred to me—we’ve battled tons, but we’ve never traded once!"''
: ''"Well, there’s no time like the present—why don’t we trade Pokémon?!"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"Yesss! Toma ya! I think I’ll trade you a Tauros. What’ll you trade me?"''
::: '''After selecting a Pokémon''': ''"Nice! I’m good to trade my Tauros for your <Pokémon> if you are!''"
:: '''No''': ''"Oh, got something else you need to do? Gotcha! Let’s do it another time!"''
::: '''Talking to her after refusing''': ''"Hey, we still haven’t traded Pokémon yet. Let’s trade it up!"''
:: '''If the player only has one Pokémon in their party''': ''"Oh, wait—you can’t go trading if you’ve only got one Pokémon with ya. I think we better hold off until you’ve got at least two in your party!"''
: '''After the trade''': ''"<Pokémon>’s a great Pokémon! I’ll train it up so well, it’ll be unbeatable. Thanks for trading!"''

* Rematch
: ''"Hey, if you’ve got a few minutes, wanna battle?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"Yesss! You’re on. Let’s have us a fruitful battle!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Awww. Still fine-tuning your party or something? I was really hoping for a battle..."''

:: '''Upon sending her last Pokémon''': ''"Well, that stinks, but I’m still having fun! And we’re only now getting to the best part!"''
:: '''Upon {{Tera}}stallizing her last Pokémon''': ''"Shine blazingly bright, our greatest treasures!"''

: ''"Yup, that was a great one for sure! And an L for me!"''
: ''"I hope you and I keep on battling forever, <player>— even when we’re grown up."''
: ''"In fact, we GOTTA keep battling! Let’s call it a promise! Here—something to seal the deal."''
:: '''Player receives [[Focus Sash]]''': ''"Think of me when you use it! Best rivals forever!"''

:: '''If defeated the player''': ''"Toma ya! That’s a W for me! You fought great, though!"''

* Talking to after rematch
: ''"It seems like they don’t have too many classes in the classrooms here at Blueberry Academy, huh? I can’t believe they can just hold classes out in the Terarium! Big-time culture shock!"''
: ''"Kitakami was really fun, even though things got out of hand! We should all go again sometime!"''
: ''"I can’t believe Blueberry Academy has its own Elite Four! Oooh, I really wanna know what kind of Pokémon they all use!"''
: ''"<Pokémon>’s really coming to fruition! It might be fun to try battling using only Pokémon that we traded each other, huh?"''
: ''"That Tauros I traded you did great in my party during our Treasure Hunt! I can’t think of a better fit than having you become his Trainer, <player>!"''

*'''Focused on Something Else'''

: ''"But the answer was right in front of me!"''
: ''"I honestly don't know much yet about Scream Tail."''
: ''"I don't know where it came from, or what it used to do back there."''
: ''"But right now, it's battling as hard as it can with me as my partner!"''
: ''"I think that's because it loves the way we have Pokémon battles here..."''
: ''"so it's decided to stay by my side."''
: ''"I think that battling together isn't just what I want to do—it's what Scream Tail wants too!"''
: ''"And it's enjoying its life here in this time to the fullest!"''
: ''"Yes!"''
: ''"As long as I live my life in the way that feels best right now..."''
: ''"then no matter how my future turns out, I can hold my head up high!"''

: ''"I've been running around the beach with Pawmot today."''
: ''"The weather's nice, too, so instead of going for a walk, I figured I'd work out instead!"''
: ''"Pawmot is tough, but I'm not as confident in my own abilities."''
: ''"I need to conquer my weakness in order to get stronger, and..."''
: ''"if I ever get as fit as Pawmot..."''
: ''"we could go all over Pasio and have loads of battles!"''
: ''"There've been many times when Pawmot could keep battling but I was too exhausted..."''
: ''"But as I am now, it's gonna take a while for me to reach Pawmot's level..."''
: ''"But I guess that's natural."''
: ''"You always loved going on runs and walks, even back in Paldea."''
::'''He did?''': ''"Yup! I'd just shout "Let's go!" and let him out of his Poké Ball!"''
:: '''Paldea?''': ''"Yup. Paldea—where I'm from—is so big!"''
: ''"So maybe he just naturally got stronger and evolved into Pawmot!"''
: ''"How he used to be a little Pawmi but kept growing and growing... It makes me feel so many emotions."''
: ''"... ... ..."''
: ''"After remembering all the battles I had with Pawmot, I'm feeling pumped!"''
: ''"Ahh! I can't stay still anymore!"''
: ''"Talking so long helped me regain some energy, so let's battle, <player>!"''
: ''"Huh? Whoa!"''
: ''"Wh-where are you going?! Pawmot!"''
: ''"H-haha... Seems he's in the mood to run today."''
: ''"Oh well. When you're part of a [[sync pair]], you gotta prioritize what your partner Pokémon wants!"''

: ''"Wanna be our next opponent?!"''
: ''"Oh, that's right!"''
: ''"I was having so much fun battling with you and Jigglypuff—I got carried away!"''
: ''"We were trying to find out whether my partner here is actually Jigglypuff's ancestor...through battle!"''
: ''"It's a Pokémon called Scream Tail."''
: ''"According to this paranormal magazine in Paldea, it looks like a Jigglypuff from a billion years ago!"''
: ''"Well, the magazine might've been exaggerating a little."''
: ''"I've been so curious to know whether that story is true, though!"''
: ''"So I thought a battle with Lyra's Jigglypuff might be a good way to compare the two!"''
:: '''Wouldn't you have battled even if they weren't similar?''': ''"Hmm..."''
:: ''"I guess I would've either way... Heh!"''
:: '''Was that the only reason?''': ''"Umm..."''
:: ''"To be honest with you... I think I just really wanted to have a battle!"''
: ''"Besides, whether that magazine story is true or not..."''
: ''"Scream Tail is apparently categorized as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it came here from a completely different era!"''
: ''"I'm SO happy to be able to battle as a sync pair with a Pokémon we have so much to learn about!"''
: ''"There are lots of other Pokémon on Pasio that are full of mysteries too, like Ultra Beasts..."''
: ''"And there are Trainers out who can fully connect with them! I've gotta keep up!"''
: ''"Pokémon are still Pokémon, no matter where they're from...or when!"''
: ''"I wanna work hard so I can become an amazing sync pair with Scream Tail!"''
:: ''"I hope you two become a great sync pair!''': ''"Uh-huh! We're totally gonna take our connection to the next level!"''
:: ''"You two make a ferocious sync pair!''': ''"Haha! Scream Tail seems to like battling too, so I guess we're pretty similar?"''
: ''"Maybe other Pokémon from a different time will come to Pasio."''
: ''"If that ever happens, I hope they'll see us and feel inspired to become partner Pokémon, too!"''
: ''"So I'll keep on battling with everything I have!"''

: ''"Ooooh, so you became friends because you have similar tastes! That sounds fun!"''
: ''"If I remember correctly, in order to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo..."''
: ''"You have to collect a whole bunch of coins, right? How'd you manage to do that?"''
: ''"Aw, c'mon! That's not fair!"''
: ''"Isn't that a good thing, though?"''
: ''"Oh, forget about all that! I wanna battle you and Gholdengo!"''

===[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]===
;[[Cabo Poco]]
:''"Are {{player|you}} these three's {{pkmn|Trainer}}?"
:''"Buenas! We haven't met, have we?"
:''"Hang on, [[Clavell|Director]]... Is this who I think it is?"
:''"So you're that kid who moved up in the road! I've been dying to find out more about you!"
:''"I'm Nemona! Normally I live in the school dorms, but home is here. Whaddya say, new neighbor—wanna be friends?"
::'''Yes''': ''"Love that enthusiasm! We're gonna get along just fine!"
::'''No''': ''"Huh? What's wrong—did I scare you off? Maybe I came on a little strong!"
:''"I absolutely love [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battling]]! In fact, we should battle right now—you and me!"
:''"We're gonna be neighbors AND classmates? Nice! We'll be able to battle all we want!"
::'''If spoken to''': ''"Oh my gosh, your very first Pokémon. I'm getting chills just watching you pick!"
::'''If the player tries to leave without choosing''': ''"Wait, <player>! You gotta choose a Pokémon!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Sprigatito}}''': ''"That's Sprigatito, a Grass-type Pokémon! It can use its plant powers to soak up whatever water you throw at it!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Quaxly}}''': ''"That's Quaxly, a Water-type Pokémon! It may seem quiet, but its mighty streams of water can put out any fire—you'll see!"
::'''Interacting with {{p|Fuecoco}}''': ''"That's Fuecoco, a Fire-type Pokémon! The burning-hot sparks it scatters will fry any and all plants in a flash!"
:''"<player>... I can't believe you actually chose {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}... I mean, like, way to make the perfect choice for you! You two make such a good combo!"
:''"Can I choose one of these Pokémon too, Director Clavell?"
:''"Not back then, no! I had other Pokémon I was focused on raising at the time. But now I want to raise a new Pokémon alongside <player> while he raises his own new partner!"
:''"Yesss!"
:''"Since <player> chose {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}, I'll go for this little one!"
:''"Nice to meet you, {{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Fuecoco}}! Welcome to the team!"
:''"All right, then! Now that we've chosen our Pokémon, we HAVE to battle!"
:''"I'll be waiting for you down at the beach. Come join me when you're ready!"

* At the private beach
:''"Over here!"
:''"Anyone can be a Pokémon Trainer as long as they have Pokémon by their side! And it's our duty as Trainers to help our Pokémon grow stronger through battle!"
:''"So, you ready to battle me, <player>?"
::'''Yes''': "Perfecto! I'm so excited! For this battle, I think I'll use—"
::'''No''': "Oye! Don't get cold feet on me now! I wanna see what you've got!"
:''"Heh, whoops... Good call, Director. I was about to send out one of my usual partners right off the bat.. I guess I'll take this chance to try out my new buddy instead!"
:''"C'mon, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"I know this is your first Pokémon battle, so let's just have some fun!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective [[move]]''': ''"You must've been studying up! Smart move—{{tt|Grass|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Water|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fire|if the player picked Fuecoco}} is strong against {{tt|Water|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Fire|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Grass|if the player picked Fuecoco}}!"
::'''After the player first lands a [[critical hit]]''': ''"Oooh, lucky! Landing a critical hit makes your move do more damage than usual!"
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Wow! Not bad, neighbor!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Look at you, winning your first battle ever! You've got even more potential than I thought! You're gonna be a strong Trainer for sure!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Hey, if you can battle like that on your first try, you definitely have what it takes to be a Trainer!"

:''"But now I want to try a different strategy! Let's go again—just one more battle!"
:''"Ah, sorry! I got kinda caught up in all the excitement... I'm really sorry, <player>. Same to your {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}}, too."
::'''Don't worry about it''': ''"Heh... All right! Thanks, <player>!"
::'''Let's battle again soon!''': ''"Oh, definitely! We'll definitely battle more!"
:''"You bet, sir!"
:''"Oh, that reminds me! since you're new to training Pokémon, there's an app you definitely need! You have a [[Rotom Phone|smartphone]], right? Lemme see it for a sec."
:''"The [[Pokédex]] will automatically register any Pokémon you catch. It's a must-have for Pokémon Trainers! Our homeroom teacher, Mr. [[Jacq]], actually made it himself!"
:''"Oof! Filling out a Pokédex by hand? I can't even imagine how much work that would take!"
:''"Of course! Leave it to me!"
:''"Maybe I oughta make a little more time to work on my Pokédex along with all my battling..."
:''"Oh! Right! Speaking of Pokédexes, <player>, you've probably never caught a [[wild Pokémon]], right? I'll show you the ropes before I take you to the academy. Come with me!"

*After leaving the private beach
:''"That's right, ma'am. Leave it to me!"
:''"Your mother's so nice, <player>! Oh! But I was going to teach you how to catch wild Pokémon! C'mon, vamos!"
:''"This way!"

;[[Poco Path]]
:''"All right! This here is Poco Path! It's the path that leads to adventure for you and me!"
:''"Out here, things are different than in [[town]]. You're gonna see wild Pokémon out and about. They'll be on the path and in the grass and such!"
:''"Get too close to one, and you'll have to battle. But you've got {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}} for that, right?"
:''"And if you want to try to catch a Pokémon, you gotta use... a good ol' {{i|Poké Ball}}!"
:''"I've got tons. Have a few!"
:''"Oooh, what luck! Time for some learning by doing! Try battling this {{p|Lechonk}}, <player>!"
::'''If the player captures the wild Lechonk''': ''"Hala! That was awesome! You caught the very first Pokémon you went for! I'm crummy when it comes to actually catching Pokémon. Maybe YOU should give ME tips!"
::'''If the player defeats the wild Lechonk''': ''"Nice! Defeating a Pokémon in battle will help {{tt|Sprigatito|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Quaxly|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Fuecoco|if the player picked Fuecoco}} grow and get stronger! Next time, try throwing a Poké Ball when a Pokémon's riiight on the tip of being defeated. You'll have a decent chance at catching it then!"
::'''{{tt|If the player retreats|impossible to perform in game}}''': ''"Good call! If you know you can't win a battle, tactical retreats are what's up! When you've got the edge though, you can try catching the wild Pokémon in a Poké Ball!
::'''If the player loses against the Lechonk''': ''"Aw, you lost! Were you hesitating a little when it came time to attack? Sometimes seeing how strong you are will make wild Pokémon accept you. So don't be shy—battle hard and throw those Poké Balls!"
:''"Anyway, have some more Poké Balls just in case. Not every catch works out!"
:''"Weaken the Pokémon, then throw the Poké Ball! Remember that, and you'll be fine!"
:''"Now go battle those wild Pokémon and catch some of 'em!"
:''"Let's meet back up at that lighthouse over there! You can see our school from the top!"
::'''If spoken to again''': "If your Pokémon are getting tired out, I can heal 'em for ya! Oh, and if you get real good at catching Pokémon, gimme some advice! I'm not great at the actual "throw the Poké Ball" part."

*After the catching tutorial
:''"Hey, <player>! You getting the hang of how to catch Pokémon OK?
:''"Let me see. So far you've caught—"
:''"Whoa! What was that?!"
:''"I've never heard that kind of [[cry]] before! Could be some strong Pokémon or something!"
:''"I say we find whatever made that cry! Let's take a look around, <player>!"
:''"Just be careful—there's a kinda unsafe cave not far from here, so steer clear!"
:''"And I know your Rotom Phone can help keep you safe, but watch your step by these cliffs anyway!"

;[[Inlet Grotto]]
:''"Oyeee! <player>! There you are, <player>! You OK?! You're not hurt, right?"
::'''I'm fine!'''/'''I'm managing!''': ''"Thank goodness. I was really worried!"
:''"If you'd gotten hurt because I said we should go looking for whatever made that cry..."
:''"No, never mind that! Right now we've gotta focus on getting you back up here!"
:''"You've just gotta find some way to climb out of there! If you can get close enough, I'll try pulling you up with one of my Pokémon's [[move]]s!"''
:''"Hey, what's that Pokémon in front of you?! It looks SUPER strong! Kinda seems like it's waiting for you... Does it want you to follow it?"
:''"Whoa! That was amazing! That Pokémon might be as strong as mine! Maybe stronger!"
:''"Hey, heads up—some pretty rough and rowdy {{p|Houndour}} live in this cave! I'm glad you've got your bodyguard, but watch your back! They're strong!"
:''"Oh my gosh, it straight up pulverized that rock! How powerful even IS it?! I wonder what that move was. Man, I wanna see it up close!"
:''"<player>, look out! Something's coming! Behind you—it's behind you!"
:''"Heeeeeey! Up here! Quick!"
:''"Way to go! For a second, I thought you were both goners!"
:''"Whoa?! What's wrong?!
:''"Maybe it used up all its power?"
:''"What is this Pokémon, anyway? It kinda looks like a {{p|Cyclizar}}, but I've never seen one quite like this before... And now it looks so different from a minute ago. You think it's OK?"
::'''Hard to say'''/'''I don't know''': ''"You can't tell either, huh, <player>?"
:''"Well, all that aside, I'm seriously glad to have you back up here in one piece!"
:''"You know...that battle down there was really something. You and this fella looked perfectly in sync facing down that {{p|Houndoom}}!"
:''"What?! You didn't even tell it what to do?"
:''"I guess it's not like you're this Pokémon's trainer yet, huh...
:''"Oh good! Looks like it perked up a little!"
:''"Do you think this fella was the one making that mysterious cry we heard before?"
:''"Oh man, oh man, oh man! The more I look at this Pokémon, the more mysterious it seems! If you do become its Trainer, you gotta let me battle against it!"
:''"Let's exchange numbers so we can get in touch if we somehow get separated again! And here—this'll let you teach your Pokémon a move to help it battle stronger opponents! Think before you use it, though! TMs can only be used once."
:''"You've both been through enough for a minute! I think we better take a breather. Let's just get to the lighthouse—that'll be a good spot to relax."

;Poco Path
:''"Wait, I know you... Aren't you [[Arven]]? You're enrolled in the humanities track, right? And aren't you the son of that Pokémon researcher—[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}?"
:''"See, we heard this strange cry, and we tried to investigate, but <player> fell off a cliff..."
:''"That Pokémon saved {{tt|him|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}}, but it seems like it wore itself out in the process. It got kinda... slumpy afterward. But you shoulda seen it before! It looked totally different—it was unbelievably strong!"
:''"{{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}? Is that this Pokémon's name? How'd you know it?"
:''"Special how? What sort of Pokémon is it?"
::'''If Arven defeated the player''': ''"<player>... Were you going easy on him? You could have won that."
::'''If the player defeated Arven''': ''"Wow, <player>! That was awesome!"
:''"So why'd YOU have it?"
:''"What? Oye! Can you not hear me or something?"
:''"Fine, be that way! But you better actually show up for school!"
:''"What a weirdo... That Arven guy definitely knows more than he's letting on. Next time, he and I are battling! I'm gonna wring some answers outta him!"
:''"But oh, right—we gotta climb the lighthouse! Can't wait to show you the view of our school!"

*After ascending the lighthouse
:''"Look, <player>! That's [[Mesagoza]]! And that huge building with the Poké Ball on it is our school!"
:''"It's gonna be so great having you in the same class, <player>!"
::'''I'm looking forward to it!''': ''"Right? I can't wait to get back. We're gonna learn so much...and battle so, so, SO much!"
::'''But all that schoolwork...''': ''"Don't think of it as schoolwork—think of it as tons of chances to learn about Pokémon battling!"
:''"Isn't it awesome what you can see from up here?"
:''"Mountains! Forests! Grasslands! Beautiful nature stuff, as far as the eye can see! And you know what's waiting for you all over these natural spaces? Tons of Pokémon! Consider this me officially telling you: welcome to [[Paldea]]!
:''"But anyway, like you can see, it's kind of a hike to get into school from here. Let's make it to Los Platos for starters. That's right on the way!"
:''"Vamos! C'mon!"

;[[Los Platos]]
:''"Oye, <player>! Over here!"
:''"This here's a [[Pokémon Center]]!"
:''"You can come here to take care of a lot of things related to your Pokémon."
:''"But I'll leave the explanations to the pros here."
:''"[[League Point|LP]] comes in handy both at these machines and at stores! I've got a lot—here, have some!"
:''"Oh yeah, and some of these too!"
:''"And at the [[Union Circle]], you can connect with other Trainers to find yourself some adventuring companions!"
:''"We will. Thanks!"
:''"Remember: "Had a rough adventure? Get to the Pokémon Center!" Sometimes you have to know this sort of stuff for quizzes at school. But mnemonics help out! Here's another one: "'R' you ready? Then Let's Go!" Goofy, sure, but it helps you remember you can send your lead Pokémon out with the R button!"
:''"That way, you can have the Pokémon that's walking with you go pick up items lying around or go battle on its own or other stuff like that!"
:''"Now, time to go. Once we leave Los Platos, we'll hit the best-known spot in the South Province's Area One: the massive hill on the way to school!"
:''"You'll usually find Trainers there who are just itching to battle. Good luck!"

;[[South Province (Area One)]]
:''"Oyeee! <player>!"
:''"Didja battle some Trainers on the hill? Bet your Pokémon are getting stronger!"
:''"How about you show me how much you all have learned...in a battle?"
::'''Sure thing!''': ''"All right! Nothing like having a friend around!"
::'''I don't know...''': ''"If you're not sure, all the more reason to give it a shot! A nice battle will help us get to know each other better, too!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"You seem like you're getting better at this, so I'm comin' at you with TWO Pokémon this time!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"You really work your type matchups! I can tell how badly you wanna win!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"A critical hit?! Wow, nice one—I have a hard time landing those even when I try!"
::'''After the player defeats her first Pokémon''': ''"Wow, doing even better than I expected! You're legit, <player>!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her {{p|Pawmi}}''': ''"Battling you is a blast! Think I better pull out my ace in the hole!"
::'''After Terastallizing''': ''"Terastallizing is always a solid strategy! It gives moves of the Pokémon's Tera Type more power!
::'''After attacking the player's Pokémon with a not very effective move while Terastallized''': ''"Terastallizing gives a real boost, see! Even when a move isn't very effective, look how hard it hits!"
::'''After attacking the player's Pokémon with a super-effective move while Terastallized''': ''"Terastallizing gives a real boost, see! Especially if a move was already super effective!
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Man, I can't believe how fast you're improving!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Amazing! Look at you, taking on a Terastallized opponent and winning, no problem!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"I guess the hill wore you out a bit, huh? Still, even if I did take the win this time, your moves weren't bad. Not bad at all!"
:::'''Either way, if Nemona Terastallized Pawmi in battle''': ''"Come to think of it, you can't Terastallize your Pokémon yet, huh? Don't worry—I'll get you taken care of! You're so good with Pokémon battles, I forget how new you are to this stuff sometimes!"

:''"Anyway, it was fun to battle you! Here, have some Revives as thanks!"
:''"Now, Mesagoza's waiting just past this gate! At last, the city where our school is! There's a ton of hills and stairs and stuff in the city, so I'm gonna take a quick breather and then catch up with you soon!"

;Mesagoza
:''"All right, here I am! We finally made it, huh?"
:''"This is Mesagoza! The biggest city in Paldea! It's been a big trade hub since a long time ago."
:''"Lots of folks come here to learn about advances in technology and all kinds of other stuff."
:''"There's a hair salon where you can change your look, plus places with tasty food and fixings..."
:''"What do you want to see first, <player>?"
::'''The hair salon!''': ''"Oh, you're a fashionista, are you? Or maybe you just want a practical 'do that won't get in your eyes when you're battling!"
::'''Tasty food!''': ''"Hah! I didn't have you pegged for a big eater! But that's smart. You can't battle well with a growling tummy, right?"
:''"Oh, and speaking of battling..."
:''"I wanna be sure you'll be able to Terastallize your Pokémon too, <player>! There's a few things that gotta get done for that to happen, but I'll take care of 'em!"
:''"Meanwhile, you just have fun looking around the city a bit!"
:''"There's so much to do—grab a bite, buy some accessories to spice up your uniform..."
:''"If you want my personal recommendation, you've gotta see [[Delibird Presents]]! They sell handy [[item]]s for Pokémon to [[Held item|hold]]."''
:''"Once you've seen your fill, we can meet up again in front of the school! Just...be ready. The stairs up to school are no joke."
:''"Later, then! Get pumped for some Terastallizing!"

*After the player defeats the first {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}
:''"Pero bueno! What do you think you're doing?!"
:''"I can't believe you, <player>! You don't have to go find randos to battle! You'll have all the battles you'll ever need...with me!"
::'''That's really not what happened...'''/'''It was those [[Team Star]] punks...''': ''"Wait—THEY picked a fight with YOU? Wow, I read that way wrong! Sorry!"
:''"I get it now. You two have got [[Team Star]] written all over you for sure! I bet you were trying to pressure people into signing up again, weren't you?"
:''"Well, that explains it. As head of the student council, stopping this type of nonsense would normally be MY job... But this is also the perfect chance for you to try my amazing and ultra-rare gift to you!"
:''"With this [[Tera Orb]], you can Terastallize your Pokémon during battle!"
:''"Let's see. After it Terastallizes, I'm pretty sure your <first party member> will beee...a <first party member's Tera Type> type!"
:''"Normally you've gotta take special classes to be able to get one of these Tera Orbs, but I put in a good word for you!"
:''"Now, time to give it a whirl! You'll learn to use it faster in battle than if I just explain it to you!"
:''"Got a problem? You wanna battle me instead?"
:''"Then take your places, and...battle!"
::'''If the player defeated the Star Grunt without Terastallizing''': ''"Nice, <player>! You didn't even have to bother Terastallizing your Pokémon!"
::'''If you defeat the Star Grunt via Terastallizing''': ''"Nice, <player>! You pulled off Terastallizing no problem!"
:''"Moves of your Pokémon's Tera Type will hit even harder when it's Terastallized, y'know! Sometimes you'll find a Pokémon whose Tera Type is totally different from its usual type. That difference can open up your strategic options!"
:''"Gotta charge your Tera Orb at a Pokémon Center after every use by healing up your team, though."
:''"So, yeah—Team Star is basically a group of students that like to kick up trouble. They hardly ever show up to class, and when they get together in groups, they're a real headache. Even the teachers don't know what to do with 'em, from what I hear..."
:''"Awww, look at you, <player>! Already becoming a big hero around campus!"
:''"I don't think I've seen that girl around. Maybe she's a new transfer, like you... That {{p|Eevee}} bag, though! Love that fluff!"
:''"Anyway, seems like the trouble's died down, so we'd better book it up to school!"
:''"Get ready to climb the worst staircase in the world!"

;[[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}
:''"Here we are, <player>! Welcome to Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"This here's the entrance hall!"
:''"You can sign up for all kinds of classes at the desk behind me, and those halls off to the sides lead to all different parts of the school."
:''"It's totally big enough to let loose and battle in here, but for some reason, they banned Pokémon battling in the main entrance..."
:''"Well, I know how to look after my friends! Right, <player>?"
:''"Oh! But speaking of which...we saw some of those Team Star kids in town, Director!"
:''"It was down the stairs from the front gates. They were hassling this kid with an Eevee backpack..."
:''"Actually, <player> flexed on 'em and ran 'em off."
:''"Uh... Right! Yes sir, Director!"
:''"You got it, sir!"
:''"We're in class 1-A, <player>! C'mon, I'll show you the way!"

*In Class 1-A
:''"Me! I have a question!"
:''"You went to all the trouble of enrolling here, so spill, <player>... What do you hope to get out of it? You must have some kind of dream, right?"
::'''I want to complete the Pokédex''': ''"I'm glad I got you set up with that Pokédex app if you like collecting that much!"
::'''I want to be a strong Trainer''': ''"You will be! Oh, I just know it! You and me—we're going to get so strong battling together!"
::'''I don't actually know''': ''"Fair, I get it! The possibilities are endless, right? Who can decide!

*In the staff room
:''"Sure thing! You can count on me. In fact, I bet this is gonna be fun!"
:''"Oh, <player>! Hey!"
::'''Who was that?''': ''"Piqued your interest, huh?"
::'''She looked awesome!''': ''"Good eye! She sure is!"
:''"That lady is... Well, they call her [[Geeta|La Primera]]! She's strong, she can do pretty much anything, she's got cool practically coming out of her ears... She's basically everything I wanna be—or that any Pokémon Trainer would wanna be, really!"
:''"Oh! Which reminds me! Remember in homeroom when I asked you what your dream is?"
::'''If the player chose "I want to complete the Pokédex"''': ''"Now, I know you said you're all about completing the Pokédex! But hear me out..."
::'''If the player chose "I want to be a strong Trainer"''': ''"Well, since your heart's already set on becoming a really strong Trainer...I've got an idea for you!"
::'''If the player chose "I don't actually know"''': ''"If you're still trying to decide what it is you're looking for...I've got an idea for you!"
:''"You should try to reach {{pkmn|Champion}} Rank like me!
::'''Yeah, I will!''': ''"Oh wow! Hang on, though—I've got a whole spiel I wanna give you. Here goes..."
::'''I don't know...''': ''"Aww, but talent like yours deserves to be used! Hear me out..."
:''"The Trainers who reach Champion Rank are the ones who raise their Pokémon really strong. They're pro-tier battlers. Their moves keep crowds absolutely on the edge of their seats!"
:''"You have to prove yourself to the [[Paldea League|Pokémon League]] to officially get the title of Champion. And to do that, you have to do more than just take classes here."
:''"You've got to take on eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and win so you can collect their [[Gym Badges|Badge]]! Once you've done all that, all that's left is a special test—the Champion Assessment. And once you pass THAT, then at long last you'll be a Champion!"''
:''"It's every Pokémon Trainer's dream! The coolest title anyone could ever hope to get! Not to brag or anything!"
:''"I reached Champion Rank during our last Treasure Hunt, you know!"
:''"Oh, the Treasure Hunt is a special independent study thing we've got here. Should happen soon! Our last one started not long after the beginning of this school year!"
:''"It's great! You get to leave school to go have an adventure and learn however you want!"
:''"I guess you could say my journey to becoming a Champion was the treasure I found...maybe? I dunno yet if that's the answer I'm looking for..."
:''"Anyway, I've got a feeling I'd be able to get even stronger if you and I were both working at it..."
:''"Lemme go ahead and save the Gyms' locations in your map app in case you decide to go for it!"
:''"Give it some thought!"

*In the director's office
:''"Hellooo! 'Scuse me!"
:''"Oh! You're still here, <player>!"
:''"Oof. Getting called into the director's office? How'd you land in that much trouble already?! ...Naw, kidding! I know it wasn't like that."
:''"Mr. Jacq wanted me to show you the way to your room in the school dorms."
:''"Your very own private room, <player>! Let's go check it out!"
::'''If the player attempts to go anywhere else''': ''"Not there, you goofball!"

*In the player's dorm room
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! From today on, this is your room, <player>!"
:''"Actually, it's as new to me as it is to you. Never been in here before."
:''"Maybe check out your new bed? Looks comfy. And you must be pretty worn out from all this stuff happening on your very first day, huh? A quick rest on a bed is all you need to get yourself and your Pokémon healthy again!"
:''"I'll see you tomorrow, when you've rested up. Then we can battle even more! Take care!"

*The next day
:''"It's TIIIME!"
:''"I've been waiting FOREVER for this! C'mon, let's go out to the schoolyard!"
:''"We gotta go to the schoolyard! Director's orders!"

;Mesagoza
:''"What're you waiting for, <player>? Let's go!"
:''"<player>! <player>! The Treasure Hunt—it's finally starting!"
::'''What do they mean by treasure?'''/'''What're we supposed to do?''': ''"Yeah, fair question, since it's your first time! C'mon, let's walk and talk..."
:''"The Treasure Hunt is a huge part of the ;Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}} school year. The point isn't to get us all looking for some actually hidden treasure, necessarily... We're more just making our own adventures to see what experiences Paldea's got to offer! You could try to beat Pokémon Gyms, you could help out people in need... You could hunt for real capital-T treasure if you wanted, even! There's stuff we'd never learn sitting in a classroom, y'know? This is our chance to learn it!"
:''"Plus there's so many chances to battle, which is obviously perfect for me!"
:''"You and me for sure gotta battle if we run into each other out there! Hope you're ready!"
::'''Yes'''/'''No''': ''"Oh yeah—battling can wait. I meant to tell you..."
:''"Did you know your phone's map lets you set yourself destinations? You could try setting one of the Gyms as your destination! That'd get you on your way easy!"
:''"Ay! A-Arven?!"
:''"Insider advantage? Sheesh, you make it sound like we're cheating or something! All I did was suggest that {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} check out the gyms. It's up to <player> whether {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} goes."
:''"En serio? Don't go filling {{tt|his|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}} head with weird stories!"
:''"Grrr!"
:''"Wait one second! Who are you supposed to be?! And Team Star—those punks are a serious hazard! They're not <player>'s problem!"
:''"How do you know my—?"
:''"<player>... I'm glad you're making plenty of friends here, but try not to get dragged into anything dangerous."
:''"Anyway! No more weird vibes—we've got a big adventure to start! I'm gonna battle every single Pokémon Trainer I meet!"
:''"If I just keep trying to become the strongest, I bet that experience will be the thing I treasure!"
:''"Guess I'll start by heading to a Gym and training up some new Pokémon! Here, I'll send you a pic of what the Gym buildings look like!"
:''"Oh, and... I know we've been running our mouths, but it's your call what to do, <player>. Go where you want, and do what it is you really wanna do the most!"
:''"Oh my gosh! Did it just come out 'cause you said "sandwich"? Hahaha! It seems like it wants to start moving... Is it telling you to get on, <player>?"
:''"Whoa, it transformed! Now it REALLY looks like some kinda weird Cyclizar! Long as you've got Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}, you can go pretty much anywhere. Paldea's your Cloyster!"
:''"But since <player> is ACTUALLY headed to take on some Gyms, I'd say go for the west gate! Besides, it's way too easy to get lost out east!"
:''"I'll head to a Gym. See you around, <player>!"
::'''If the player approaches the west exit of Mesagoza''': ''"Hey! It's me, Nemona!"
:''"We should call and catch each other up on how things are going from now on!"
:''"You decided to set out heading west from the school, right, <player>? Starting from there, you'll be pretty close to [[Cortondo]]. That's where you'll find the {{type|Bug}} Gym! You can go take on the [[Gym leader]] if you want! I'm sure you can beat [[Katy|her]], <player>!"
:''"Good luck! I'll call ya soon!"

;First Gym
:''"Oh, hey! <player>!"
:''"Came to see this Gym, huh? That can only mean one thing... You're out to earn some Gym Badges and take on the Pokémon League, aren't you?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"Yesss! I knew it! I'm so glad I asked you to do it!"
::'''No''': ''"Yeah, sure you're not! Just came to the Gym for some sight-seeing, right? Hah! You fibber!"
:''"Before you can battle the Gym Leader, you've gotta pass a certain challenge set by them—their Gym Test. Every Gym's test is different. If you ask the lobby staff about it, they'll tell you what's up!"
:''"Here, have these! When you use 'em, consider it me healing up your Pokémon!"
:''"Ahhh, I'm so glad you're aiming to be a Champion, too! This is the best news ever! Man, I'm so excited, I can barely stand still... Guess I'll just go battle every Trainer I run into!"

*After defeating the first Gym Leader
:''"Hey hey, <player>!"
:''"Just had to tell you—my Pokémon are learning some pretty cool new moves! Be ready!"
:''"How'd it go at the Gym, by the way?"
::'''I passed!''': ''"Yesss! Hah haaa! I mean, it was obvious you were gonna pass, but congrats!"
::'''Pretty rough...''': ''"Pfft! Sure, you big joker! I bet you walked out with a badge, didn't you?"
:''"I'm so glad I encouraged you to take on the Gyms. Nice job, past me!"
:''"I'm training hard too, by the way—day and night! Going all over the place to boot!"
:''"Thank goodness we've got the map app. It helps a ton with figuring out where to go next—especially in a huge place like Paldea! After all, the path to getting stronger usually has some strange stops and detours!"
:''"Hm. Speaking of going strange places, I wonder what Arven's up to..."
:''"Anyway, catch you later! I hope you know I'm gonna want a battle if we run into each other!"

;Second Gym
:''"Vaya! <player>?!"
:''"It's so wild that we ended up randomly visiting the same Gym at the same time—again! What a weird coincidence..."
:''"I swear I'm not just sneaking ahead of you so I can lie in wait and go, "Oh wow, weird, might as well battle now that you're here! No, seriously! Look, to prove it, I won't even challenge you to a battle this time! Much as I'd like to..."
:''"But look at you and your Pokémon! It's/They've definitely gotten stronger since last time!"
:''"Add these to the mix, and you'll be 100 percent set to go, no problem!"
:''"I'll be cheering for ya! I'll go train, like, maybe 20 Pokémon or so while you tackle the Gym!"

;Third Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Hey, <player>! It's meee!"
:''"How's the Gym journey? Which one are you going for now?"
:''"Wait, seriously? I'm close by! Hang on, I'll come say hi."
:''"Hey hey! There you are!"
:''"Look at you with two Gym Badges already. Awesome!"
:''"And this is the Gym you chose to be number three, huh?"
:''"Well, you're up to the challenge for sure! But, like, just to be safe... you probably better have a pre-Gym warm-up battle with me!"
::'''Yeah, let's!''': ''"Yeeeah! There's that enthusiasm!"
::'''Maybe not''': ''"I reeeally think you'll be glad you had some practice. This Gym Leader's tough!"
:''"Now, let's go!"
:''"C'mon, the field of battle awaits!"
:''"Before you take on a Gym, it's good to see if you can find the battle court in town and check it out. It helps to see where the court is, what it's made of—stuff like that. Those things might affect how the battle goes!"
:''"Y'know, <player>, one look at your face, and it's obvious that you're getting even stronger!"
:''"I think it's time I started introducing you to some of my harder hitters!"
:''"All right... Ready?"
:''"Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Think of this as a practice run for your next Gym battle. Come at me with everything you got!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"Oooh, nice moves! Your skills sure are ripening!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"Maybe people who can throw Poké Balls better are better at landing critical hits, too..."
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Don't pat yourself on the back just yet! My next Pokémon's gonna turn the tables!
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Since you have a Tera Orb too, we can both Terastallize our Pokémon fair and square!
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Let's try out that new move of yours!"
:::'''{{m|Water Pulse}}''': ''Use Water Pulse, {{p|Quaxwell}}!"
:::'''{{m|Incinerate}}''': ''"Use Incinerate, {{p|Crocalor}}!"
:::'''{{m|Magical Leaf}}''': ''"Use Magical Leaf, {{p|Floragato}}!"
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"Hahaha! Yup, your skills are ripening quick!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Man, you sure battle like someone with more than two Gym Badges!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Oof, sorry! That's my bad for sending out such strong Pokémon."

:''"Well, that was a great battle! Fruitful for sure!"
:''"Here, take these as thanks!"
:''"I'd challenge you again literally right now...but Champions have to be understanding. So I'll hang back and respect your time!"
:''"Keep on collecting badges for now, and let's battle next time we run into each other at a Gym!"
:''"And, <player>? I hope you get even stronger. Like, way...way...WAY stronger! And once you do, you and me can just battle our hearts out!"
:''"All right, time for you to whup that Gym Test. Thanks for this!"

;Fourth Gym
*After defeating the fourth Gym Leader
:''"Oh, <player>! Hola!"
:''"Caught you just as you finished up in here, huh? Nice work!"
:''"That puts you four badges in now, right? Man, that's awesome!"
:''"I can't believe you're halfway through your Gym journey already! Your efforts are bearing so much fruit so quickly!"
:''"It makes me wanna just challenge you to a battle right here, right now!"
:''"But...I'm gonna have to wait. 'Cause I put together my team of Pokémon specifically to take on the Gym Leader... Dang it!"
:''"When I battle you, I wanna do it under the best possible conditions! Which means this time, I've gotta ask for a rain check."
:''"Guhhh, this is the worst timing ever! Sorry, <player>! Forgive me! Forgive meee!"

;Fifth Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Heeey, <player>!"
:''"I saw you going into the Gym and came running!"
:''"Listen, I'm really sorry I couldn't battle you last time we ran into each other."
:''"Wait—don't get me wrong! I didn't chase you down just to battle you!"
:''"Then again...I guess I wouldn't MIND a battle or anything, if you wanted to... What do you say?"
::'''Sure!''': ''"Yesss! Battle tiiime! You and me, <player>!"
::'''Maybe not''': ''"C'mon! It'll just be, like, a really short battle! I'll only use four Pokémon! I promise!"
:''"Wait, hold on... I wanna be sure to pick the right Pokémon for where you're at in your journey."
:''"Sorry, gimme a sec to fine-tune my team! Then we can battle!"
:''"In fact, while you're waiting, go ahead and take on the Gym!"

*After defeating the fifth Gym Leader
:''"Hey hey, player! I've got my team all picked out!"
:''"And I saw you battling the Gym Leader! You just keep getting better!"
:''"Whoa! Wait! La Primera? With <player>?"
::'''Why do you call her that?'''/'''Is that important?''': ''"Wait, did I forget to give you the full explanation?!"
:''"Everyone calls Ms. Geeta "La Primera" because she's just that—she's the real number one, even higher than us regular Champions... She's the Top Champion!"
:''"I thought you were too busy to spend your time checking in on Gyms!"
:''"Whoaaa. I look away for one second and you're famous, <player>?!"
:''"But hey—I found <player> first!"
:''"You may be La Primera, but you can't go stealing {{tt|him|if the player is male}}/{{tt|her|if the player is female}} from me!"
:''"That's right! C'mon, <player>. Time for our battle!"
:''"Quick, let's gooo! The battlefield's callin'!"
:''"Huh? What is it?"
:''"Oooh, haha! Totally fine by me!"
:''"Sounds fun, right, <player>?"
:''"You remember how it all works, right? Once you get badges from all the Gyms...you get to throw down against the strongest Pokémon Trainers around!"
:''"Collecting eight Gym Badges sets you up to take the Champion Assessment. If you can face the challenge of the final examiner and win, you'll become a Champion!"
:''"Just imagine how that moment would feel. Try getting into that Champion mindset!"
:''"Now, set your sights on reaching that big, important stage...and let's battl—"
:''"Sorry! Got a little caught up in my battle hunger."
:''"Well, you should all be in great shape now thanks to La Primera!"
:''"OK, <player>. Time to put our game faces back on!"
:''"Let's have us another fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"I know La Primera's watching, but no need to get worked up. Just stay cool!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"Oof, that was a good one! Your move really had some zing to it!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"Whoa—a critical hit, right when it counts! Luck's on your side for sure!"
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Haha, wow! You seeing this, Primera? I'm getting backed right into a corner!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Time to Terastallize! Watch—I'm gonna make La Primera's eyes light up!"
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"OK, I'm pulling out all the stops! Get ready—I wanna see you stand up to this!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': ''"People are gonna start paying more and more attention to you—I just know it!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"Now even La Primera thinks you're one to watch. You've got so much potential! The way you're going, I better watch my back!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"Did battling in front of La Primera give you the jitters, maybe? Well, I might've won, but it was obvious how much you've bonded with your Pokémon!"

:''"Y'know, since the first time we met, I've been weirdly sure of one thing..."
:''"You're gonna become a Champion—no doubt about it, <player>!"
:''"The rest of these Gyms? You can take 'em! Hundred percent, no problem!"
:''"One day, <player>, you and me are gonna have the greatest battle of all! I know it!"
:''"I'm gonna go train up—even more than I already have been!"

;Seventh Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"Hey, I heard the good news! Congrats on Gym Badge number six! Not even a tenth of the Trainers who take on the Gyms get this far, y'know!"
:''"But I'm not surprised that you made it. I just KNEW there was a reason you caught my eye!"
::'''Thanks!''': ''"Oh please! I should be the one thanking you!"
::'''I don't know...''': ''"Well, trust me—I could tell from our very first battle you were gonna grow seriously strong!"
:''"Aaanyway...I bet you could use a little warming up before you take on the Gym, huh?"
:''"C'mon! You know the drill by now!"
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Here's our battle court for today!"
:''"OK, right... Mm-hmm! Always important to check what environment your Pokémon'll be battling in!"
:''"The battlefield can have these teeny effects on your Pokémon's balance and stuff, y'know?"
:''"Anyway, sorry I sorta dragged you here. But a little pre-Gym warming up should do you good!"
:''"Now c'mon, <player>! Let's have us a fruitful battle!"

*In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Show me the battle skills that got you six badges!"
::'''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"That stung...but you're not the only one who can hit hard when it counts!"
::'''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"That's the thrill of battles—you never know what's gonna happen next!"
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"Trading attacks on the brink of winning or losing gives me chills! Let's see who gets the win!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Here comes the fun part! Time to make this Tera Orb shine!"
::'''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Get ready—this move is gonna hit with the force of all my training!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': ''"I knew I was right to believe in you!"

*After battle
::'''If the player won''': ''"That's an L for me! Man, you've gotten so good!"
::'''If the player lost''': ''"That's a W for me! You battled real well, though!"

:''"I think that should be enough of a warm-up!"
:''"You and your Pokémon should be all set now. Here—take these as thanks for the battle!"
:''"There's just two Gyms remaining. Then all that'll be left is to try out to be a Champion! Give it all you got!"
:''"Now let's get you back to the Gym lobby!"

;Eighth Gym
*Before starting the Gym Test
:''"<player>!"
:''"It's finally time for your last Gym, right? I heard from [[Rika]]!"
:''"But I'm zero percent worried about you. I know you got this!"
:''"Even La Primera seems like she wants to keep an eye on you..."
:''"Maybe I'll go find her so we can cheer you on together when you battle the Gym Leader!"
:''"So go have a battle that's fruitful for you AND for the crowd!"

*After defeating the eighth Gym Leader
:''"<player>! <first party member>! You did it! Aaah, I'm so happy for you! This is the best!"
:''"I know I said I wasn't worried, but my heart was still pounding the whole time!"
:''"Seriously. Pat yourself on the back—you beat every single Gym!"
:''"Which means..."
:''"Yeah—hurry up and get to my rank! I'm itching for a battle of equals!"
:''"I've gotta take the time while you're facing the Pokémon League to fine-tune my Pokémon's moves and revamp all my tactics!"
:''"Well, good luck, <player>! And wish me luck, too!"

;{{pal|Pokémon League}}
:''"<player>! <player>!"
:''"Oh man, I can tell just looking at you! You did it, right? You became a Champion?"
::'''No''': ''"Ha, you've got jokes! But seriously—you did become a Champion, right?"
::'''No''': ''"C'mon, it's me! You don't have to lie! Just tell me—you became a Champion, right?!"
::'''No''': ''"OK, wait! You DID become a Champion, though, didn't you?!"
::'''No''': ''"You! Champion! Yes?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"Ha haaa! I knew all along!"
:''"I got word from La Primera when you cleared the Elite Test!"
:''"Oh man, <player>! I'm a Champion, and now, you're a Champion! Which means we're true equals! You and me, both Champion-ranked Trainers! This is amazing!"
:''"Now that you've made it here, I've got one thing to say."
:''"Let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"Oops! Couldn't hear you! I'll say it again: let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"Sorry, not going to stop until I hear a yes— let's you and me be best rivals for life!"
::'''No''': ''"OK, wait! You WILL be my rival, won't you?!"
::'''No''': ''"You! Me! Rivals! Yes?!"
::'''Yes''': ''"YESSS! Toma ya!"
:''"All right! You know what rivals do? Battle their absolute hearts out! I'm gonna hit you with EVERYTHING this time! You ready?!"
:''"Huh? What's the matter, Primera?"
:''"Urk. Right... There I go getting overexcited again! Sorry, <player> and <first party member>."
:''"Hmm... Now that you mention it, that's a good point."
:''"In that case, can we use one of the Pokémon League battle courts?"
::'''Out behind your house''': ''"Haha! Our beach out back, huh? Yeah, the place where we had our first battle might work. But on the other hand, to me it's just kind of... my backyard, y'know? A little ordinary. Anyplace else come to mind?"
::'''Mesagoza''': ''"Mesagoza? Oooh, good call! The place where we set out on our journey!"
::'''The Treasure Eatery''': ''"Ah, are you thinking of it 'cause it's got the Medali Gym's battle court? I guess it does bring back memories...of [[Larry]]..."
:''"That reminds me, <player>...Remember back when Director Clavell explained the Treasure Hunt? Y'know how he told us to go in search of our own treasure?"
:''"Well, I know what treasure I got out of all this: I found a true rival—someone who can stand up to me at my full capabilities. That's right—I mean you! I'm so glad I got to meet you, <player>!"
:''"Anyway, that being said... I'll be waiting for you at the battle court in Mesagoza's central plaza! See ya there!"

;Mesagoza
:''"Any second now...Ah! There you are, <player>!"
:''"You ready for a battle between Champions? 'Cause all these folks here seem ready to watch. Word got around, I guess!"
:''"And out of every single person gathered here...I'm the most excited by a mile!"
:''"The stage is set! It's my all-out power...versus your strength in full fruition!"
:''"Let's see who comes out on top!"

* In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Finally, the thing I've waited all this time for! Time to begin our greatest battle of all!"
:: '''After the player first lands a super-effective move''': ''"To think I helped teach you type matchups— and now you're using 'em to put the hurt on me!"
:: '''After first landing a super-effective move on the player's Pokémon''': ''"How do you like my REAL hard hits? Man, it feels good to finally let loose!"
:: '''After the player first lands a critical hit''': ''"A critical hit at a critical moment! That goes beyond luck—you've got some kind of gift!"
:: '''After first landing a critical hit on the player's Pokémon''': ''"See that crit? I clinched that through sheer determination to win!"''
::'''Upon sending out her last Pokémon''': ''"It's all down to this—my last Pokémon. We're gonna fight with everything we've got!"''
:: '''Upon Terastallizing her first partner Pokémon''': ''"Shine blazingly bright, my greatest treasure!"
:: '''Upon first using her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': ''"Get ready to see how strong {{tt|Quaquaval|if the player picked Sprigatito}}/{{tt|Skeledirge|if the player picked Quaxly}}/{{tt|Meowscarada|if the player picked Fuecoco}} has grown since the day we all met!"

*After battle
:''"You..."
:''"YOU DID IT!"
:''"This is legit incredible! You're the strongest out there, <player>!"
:''"I mean, you knocked me flat, and I was giving you absolutely everything I had!"
:''"Everything I...I...Ha haaa! Hahaha!"
:''"Oh man. Pokémon battling, am I right? It's so much better—so much more fun than I ever even knew!"
:''"Thanks for that incredible match. You beat me for real this time!"
:''"Now let's give ourselves a minute and have a quick break, <player>...before round two!"
:''"Which Pokémon should I bring out this time? Decisions, decisions!"

;[[Zero Gate]]
:''"Hola, <player>!"
:''"Arven said there'd be tons of [[Paradox Pokémon|strong Pokémon]], so here I am!
:''"Spoken like a guy who wants to get beaten in a battle!"
:''"But more importantly—why's it so dark? And where're the awesome Pokémon?!"
:''"Well, NOW the lights are on!"
:''"Oh! It's you—the kid with the fluffy Eevee bag!"
:''"Well, hey! We never got to actually talk! I'm Nemona! I'm in class 1-A! You must be some kind of tech whiz! Do you like Pokémon battling too?!"
:''"What? That's Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}?!"
:''"Of course, Professor! Oh my gosh, it's such an honor to meet you in person! I mean, maybe not "in person" exactly..."
:''"Must not be..."
:''"I wonder if the professor's any good at Pokémon battling..."
:''"Oooh! It opened for us automatically!"
:''"I can't wait to see what Pokémon live down in Area Zero! Let's go!"
:''"Whoa-ho-ho! Look, <player>! This is even higher up than looking down from the top of a lighthouse!"
:''"What's the matter with it?"
:''"Well, no wonder! But no need to be scared if we go together!"

;[[Area Zero]]
:''"E-everyone! You have to see this!"
:''"Area Zero is AMAZING! Come on already!"
:''"Aw, you were worried about us? That's so sweet!"
:''"Yesss! Let's disable the four locks and get into that lab!"
:''"Sounds kinda video-gamey when you say it out loud, huh?"
:''"Come on, time to find our way to the deepest part of Area Zero!"

*While walking
:''"Normally we'd never be able to get in here to see it for ourselves!"
:''"Huh...? Wait, where'd Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} go?"
:''"En serio? That's not good."
:''"OK, come on, you two! This is an adventure! Let's just have a good time!"
:''"So, [[Penny]]! How'd you wind up friends with <player>, anyway?"
:''"Guau! So {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} helped you out too while {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} was tackling all the Gyms? That's awesome!"
:''"<player> and I are classmates! Neighbors back home, too!"
:''"Plus, I said {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} should aim to be a Champion, and {{tt|he|if the player is male}}/{{tt|she|if the player is female}} did it! So now I've got a Champion bud!"
:''"Hahaha! Guess we're all in the "buds with <player>" club!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 1
:''"Oh! I bet that's what we're looking for!"
:''"That must be one of the buildings the professor was talking about!"
:''"Wow, you have such a great memory, Penny!"
:''"That's a Pokémon La Primera uses! I didn't know that species could be found in the [[Great Crater of Paldea|Great Crater]]!"
:''"Come on, <player>! Let's take it on together!"
:''After the player and Nemona defeat a wild [[Glimmora]]:
:''"Are there gonna be a lot more of these rare Pokémon down here, you think?"
:''"Easy, you two! Let's just head inside the research station."
::'''If the player tries to walk away from the building''': ''"Hey, <player>! Don't you think this might be one of those research station things? We should see if we can get in!"

*At Research Station No. 1
:''"Wow! Are these ancient ruins?!"
:''"So that's why there's a bed!"
:''"Looks like we can use this place to rest up if we need to!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"Looks like you could get a decent rest on the bed here if you and your team get tired. Although it looks kinda...mildewy..."
::'''If the player tries to leave without disabling a lock''': ''"Where're you going? Don't we still need to disable that lock?"

*While walking
:''"Penny! Shhh!"
:''"That's the spirit, you two!"
:''"Really? What kind of Pokémon was it?!"
:''"You sure it wasn't just a Pokémon that's a little more, I dunno, rampagey{{sup/9|S}}/roboty{{sup/9|V}} than average?"
:''"It was that strong, huh?"
:''"Then I really hope I get to see it!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 2
:''"Phew! Let's... Let's head in and...take a breather..."
:''"Heh heh... Hoo... I'm just full of surprises!
:''"It was definitely kinda...ferocious{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical-looking{{sup/9|V}} for a Jigglypuff{{sup/9|S}}/Delibird{{sup/9|V}}, wasn't it?"

*At Research Station No. 2
:''"Well, this looks pretty much the same as the first research station."
:''"Seems like wild Pokémon don't come in here. We should be safe to catch our breath!"
:''"So they...aren't actually Pokémon?"
:''"What do you think, <player>?"
::'''I don't think they're regular Pokémon''': ''"Hmm, maybe... They definitely do look different, at least. And I've never seen any of 'em in a Pokédex, either."
::'''I think they really are just Pokémon''': ''"Yeah, same! I mean, they LOOK different, sure, but they use moves and battle just like the Pokémon we know!"
:''"Professor!"
:''"What?! That's AWESOME!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"I can't believe I get to battle Pokémon from a whole different era! This is incredible! I'm so glad I came here with you!"

*While walking
:''"My parents? Normal, I guess."
:''"Wait, how do you know that?!"
:''"Ugh! No! No way! That's so not my thing."
:''"Though, yeah..."
:''"I guess you could say Mother and Father were, like...hands-off but in a good way?"
:''"My big sister'll probably take over the business, so they pretty much let me do what I wanted."
:''"Gaah! Cállate, Penny! What, is your family super normal, then?"
:''"Like super overprotective, you mean?"
:''"Uhhhhhh...<player>! How 'bout you? Your mother seemed super nice."
:''"Yup! Got a glimpse of an amazing-looking sandwich she made, too!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 3
:''"Nice! We get to chill for a minute!"
:''"Ha! Oh, Penny. Such a worrywart!"
:''"Whoa, you've battled one of these before, Arven? It looks seriously strong!"
:''"You two got to meet one of these Pokémon before our crater get-together? Jealous!"

*At Research Station No. 3
:''"Aaand made it to station number three!"
:''"How we doing after all that walking and battling and whatnot? Anyone need a rest?"
:''"You feeling rough, Penny?"
:''"Huh... I think you're onto something! It is kinda giving off ancient{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} vibes. Even its name sounds...past-y{{sup/9|S}}/future-y{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"Wait a sec—I totally forgot! Hey, Arven! You had Koraidon's{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon's{{sup/9|V}} ball! And you told us about its [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] in the first place! You must know something about it, right?!"
:''"Professor!"
:''"What if they're family?! The other one could still be somewhere in Area Zero, waiting to finally be reunited with our Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}!"
:''"Exactly! Imagine how thrilled they'll be if we can get the family back together after all this time!"
:''"You can leave any wild Pokémon up to me! I'll have 'em beat in no time so we can march on!"

*While walking
:''"So Koraidon's{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon's{{sup/9|V}} an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/future{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon... No wonder no one's seen it before!"
:''"<player>! You've gotta let me battle Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} right now!"
:''"Oh. Right..."
:''"So that's why you knew so much about it!"
:''"You should be sorry! Shoot—that's, like, the coolest thing ever, and you didn't tell any of us!"
:''"So Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} came to our age through the time machine..."
:''"Then it lived here awhile with the professor? Along with another one of its kind?"
:''"So we...brought it back home, kind of! Or to its second home, at least!"
:''"Awww, that's great! A chance to unwind and bask in the familiarity!"
:''"Really? I thought it was just scared 'cause we were so high up."
:''"Aw, Penny..."
:''"But that's so sad! We gotta do something to make it feel better!"
:''"And no, I'm NOT just saying that 'cause I super badly wanna battle Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} myself!"

*Approaching Research Station No. 4
:''"Oh my gosh, look at all these huge, gorgeous crystals! They go all the way to the bottom!"
:''"Oh, good call! Watch your step!"
:''"This place looks unreal. Maybe there really is treasure down here like the stories say!"

*At Research Station No. 4
:''"Whoa, what happened? This place is a mess!"
:''"Why is everything in here all busted up?"
:''"The professor must be having some...some weird connection problems or something, huh?"
:''"Looking at the damage, I have a feeling...maybe some ferocious Pokémon battled here..."
:''"What do you mean, Arven...?"

*While walking
:''"Maybe it was just a little dramatic flair to get us all jazzed for more adventuring!"
:''"Yeah! Maybe even big-time jazzed!"
:''"What's wrong, Arven?"

*Outside the Zero Lab
:''"We made it! Ready to see if those legends of treasure down here are for real?!"
:''"That's where you are, right, Professor?"
:''"You've got me and <player> here! Doesn't matter what we're up against. We'll be fine!"
:''"Huh? Why? We're finally on the cusp of getting into the lab!"
:''"Yeah, if Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} were like how we first saw it in the Inlet Grotto, that'd be a huge help!"
:''"I wanna see it battle!"
:''"That's pretty sensible by your standards, Arven!"
:''"Go on, <player>! Let Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} out!"
::'''No''': ''"C'mon, it'll be fine! Even if Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} can't fight, I'll protect it! OK?"
:''"The family reunion! It's happening!"
:''"Huh? What's wrong?"
:''"Are you bummed that your heartwarming family reunion got cut off so quickly?"
:''"Wait, for real?!"
:''"But didn't the professor say the dangerous Pokémon would come out from inside?"
:''"We're surrounded!"
:''"Then I guess it's my turn! I've been waitin'!"
:''"C'mon, <player>! Let's do this together!"
* After the player helps Nemona defeat an escaping {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}}
:''"Wow, they're strong! Now THIS is a worthwhile challenge!"
* After the player helps Penny defeat an escaping {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}
:''"Oh no! They're running away!"
:''"If those Pokémon get out, we're gonna have a gigantic mess on our hands!"
:''"We gotta go after 'em, Penny!"
:''"Waaaiiit! Hah... Hah..."

;[[Zero Lab]]
:''"Did you already beat all the baddies without me?!"
:''"Is another army of Pokémon on its way here?!"
:''"Wait, what?!"

*When the player is in battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol
:''"It's true—our Poké Balls won't work! How are we even supposed to battle?!"
:''"It changed into its battle form! Let's go, Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}—you got this!"
:''"Oh man, can we really not pull off a win here? This doesn't look good..."
:''"Go for it, <player>! Time to Terastallize and use {{m|Tera Blast}}!"

*After the player has defeated the Paradise Protection Protocol
:''"YOU DID IT!"
:''"What?! You can't just leave now—right when we finally reached you!"
:''"Arven... You OK, bud?"
:''"I guess Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} is sad, too... Oh, but that battle form! How cool is that? It's so strong!"
:''"Hey now, let's not skip over the big win here! <player> and Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} just saved all of Paldea!"
:''"What should we do now, <player>?"
::'''Let's go home''': ''"You said it! C'mon, everyone! Let's make our way home!"
::'''Let's head on out''': ''"You said it! C'mon, everyone! Let's get outta here and make our way home!"

*Leaving Area Zero
:''"OK! Everybody, listen up!"
:''"Let's take the long road home...and get a little more fun out of this adventure!"

;Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}
*In the director's office
:''"Guess we'll find out soon enough!"
:''"Heh. You've got us there."
:''"Oooh! I know how we should celebrate! We should hold a Pokémon battle contest!"
:''"La Primera?!"
:''"Whoaaa! We'd get to battle the TEACHERS! You'd compete too, right, Primera?!"
:''"Awww! Can't you free up some time somehow?"
:''"You get to have all-out battles with the Gym Leaders?! Man, I'm jealous..."
:''"This is awesome, <player>!"
:''"Show this inspection thing who's boss so that La Primera can join our tournament, OK? And enjoy taking another swing at the Gym gauntlet while you're at it!"
:''"I'll take care of filling out the forms and other administrative stuff so the ball gets rolling on the tournament in the meantime!"

*In the player's dorm room
:''"Hey, <player>!"
:''"I'm so glad we juuust managed to get everything ready for the [[Academy Ace Tournament]]."
:''"Oh yeah—that's what we decided to officially name the tournament! It's a good name, right? Fitting, memorable?"
:''"But then Arven went and said we should call it the "School Battle Brawl"...And then even Director Clavell got into calling it that, so now I'm just like...agh!"
:''"Anyway, how you feelin', <player>? In the mindset to do some winning?"
::'''Yes''': ''"There's that enthusiasm! Show us what a Champion's made of!"
::'''No''': ''"Pffft, ha! The old "nooo, I'm still sleepy" routine? Good joke!"
:''"It's so cool that La Primera's gonna make a guest appearance, thanks to your hard work!"
:''"I wish I didn't have my hands full with all the behind-the-scenes admin stuff."
:''"I won't even get to do any battling myself...But I'll seize the chance to do some objective research into what makes YOU so good!"
:''"Anyway, let's get going. I'll meet you at the front desk in the entrance hall! No stalling!"

*In the entrance hall
:''"There you are, <player>."
:''"You've gotta go through the application process with a staffer before you can actually participate in the tournament!"
:''"Ready for that explanation now, mister!"
:''"Thanks very much!"
:''"We hashed out the tournament rules with help from Director Clavell."
:''"Based on the number of entrants so far, you'd probably have to win four times to take it all!"
:''"Don't forget you might go up against the faculty, too. They're tough stuff...so good luck and go be even tougher!"
:''"The only person allowed to beat you is me!"

;Academy Ace Tournament
*First time
:''"<player>! You did it! You DID it!"
:''"Oh my gosh, YES! This is everything I wanted!"
:''"Absolutely! I wouldn't miss it for anything!"

*Before battle
:''"Yesss! You and me, bringin' it home for the finale, <player>! I'm so psyched! Time for us Champions to let loose!"

*In battle
::'''Upon sending out last Pokémon''': "You're doing awesome! But my last Pokémon is gonna clinch us the win!"
::'''Upon Terastallizing''': "Time to Terastallize! Get ready for a bright, shiny beatdown!"
::'''When Nemona uses her first partner Pokémon's same-type move''': "I'm about to hit you with all I've got! But I know you're ready for it, rival!"
::'''If the player defeats Nemona''': "Well, that stinks, but I still had fun! I'll getcha next time!"

*After battle
::'''Upon being defeated''': "That battle was the best! Thanks—I mean it. And hey, you went and won it all! Felicidades!"

;Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}
*In the entrance hall
:''"<player>! You DID it! Congratulations on winning it all!"
:''"I'm so happy, it almost made me forget the pain of everyone using Arven's stupid "School Battle Brawl" name!"
:''"Oh yeah—here's your prize! Director Clavell told me he got caught up in all the excitement and forgot to give it to you!"
:''"So I guess you get the strongest-in-the-school throne for now, <player>. Keep it warm for me!"
:''"I'm gonna be in the tournament next time, and I'll be coming right for ya!"
:''"Whenever you feel like entering the tournament again, just talk to the staffer at the front desk."
:''"Y'know, <player>... I've relished every day since you moved here to Paldea and became my rival. I'm so glad I met you. I mean it!"
::'''Me too—I mean it!'''/'''It's been great!''': ''"Heh! C'mon. Don't make me blush!"
:''"Anyway, I'll be seeing you on the battle court... for a good long time to come!"

*In the schoolyard
:''"Oooh—hey, <player>!"
:''"Great timing! I've been having the hardest time lining up opponents to battle! But now I found you—in the schoolyard, no less! It'd be silly NOT to battle! Whaddya say?"
::'''Sure!''': ''"I knew I could count on you!"
::'''Well...''': ''"Pfft, haha! You kidder, pretending like you're not itching to battle! C'mon, let's get down to it."
:''"Ahhh, good stuff!"
:''"Gotta step up my game so I'll be ready anytime for that Academy Ace Tournament!"
:''"I know I sprang my battle fever on you out of nowhere. Thanks for being up for it!"

*In the cafeteria
:''"So you're good for a battle, right? Great! Meet you at the schoolyard in a minute?"
:''"Yep, that's me!"
:''"<player>! Hola!"
::'''Who was that?'''/'''Friend of yours?''': ''"Oh, him? Dunno who he was!"
:''"I was just munching my sandwich and I heard him bragging about his tough Pokémon, so I invited him to battle!"
:''"I wonder what Pokémon he's gonna use? Can't wait to see!"
:''"Wait, I forgot to get his contact info! How are we supposed to plan when we'll face off?"
:''"Oh well. I'll make sure we battle next time I run into him!"
:''"Anyway, guess you came to get some grub, huh?"
:''"Well, I'm not one to stand between someone and their meal! Catch you later!"

*In the school store
:''"Better stock up real good on Poké Balls while I'm here..."
:''"<player>!"
:''"Oh my gosh, listen to this. Remember that guy from the cafeteria?"
:''"I ran into him again in the entrance hall, so I asked him to battle...but he said no!"
:''"He was like, "What's the point? You're a Champion and a battle whiz—you'd wreck me!" I don't get what he meant! I mean, you can have fun battling even if you lose, right?"
::'''Yeah, you can''': ''"For real! I mean, sure, no one loves losing, but it's definitely not pointless. It teaches you stuff!"
::'''Winning's nice, though...''': ''"Yeeeah, I guess so... Obviously I'd rather win than lose, but I just think it's better to go into things with a "losing can be fun, too" attitude!"
:''"Man... Pokémon battles can get so complicated sometimes."
:''"Oh, and I wish he hadn't called me a whiz! I work hard at this stuff. It's not like it all just comes naturally to me! Like, throwing Poké Balls obviously doesn't come naturally to me, for one thing..."
:''"I think I need a mental reset. I'm gonna go find someone to battle!"
:''"See you soon, <player>!"

*In Class 1-A
:''"There you are, <player>!"
:''"I had a feeling you'd turn up if I hung out here for a while..."
:''"And lo and behold, I was right!"
:''"Well, now that I've found you, we should swing by my room and have a chat!"

*In her dorm room
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Welcome to the Zona Nemona!"
::'''It's so tidy!'''/'''It's very you!''': ''"Aw, thank— Wait a sec... I know we've been to YOUR room before...But have I never had you over here? Wild!"
:''"Anyway, uh... Listen, <player>. You know how I, well..."
:''"You know how I really like Pokémon battles? Like, really, REALLY like 'em?"
::'''Yeah, you sure do'''/'''I noticed''': ''"Cool. And yeah, you know how when you really like something, you dive in deep?"
:''"That's what I did with Pokémon battles, and I... just kinda became a Champion?"
:''"But then I found out that's pretty special—that normally, it's not so simple for most people."
:''"People would tell me to my face that I'd only managed it 'cause I have some innate gift, or 'cause I was raised differently, or whatever. And suddenly I started to feel like there was this invisible wall between me and everyone else."
:''"So I started going easy when I'd battle my friends. I just wanted everyone to have fun."
:''"Oh, but don't worry, I'm not doing that anymore! I'm going 100-percent all out!"
:''"Especially since I'm lucky enough to have an opponent around who can beat me even when I'm in full hard-core mode!"
:''"So just promise me one thing, OK, <player>? Promise you'll always stay my equal! You and me, true rivals!"
::'''You know it!'''/'''That's what friends are for!''': ''"Heh heh. You're the best, <player>. Thank you!"
:''"Oof, that got pretty personal! Little bit embarrassed over here..."
:''"Anyway! Since we're equals, I gotta start having you over as much as we hang out in your room!"
:''"Feel free to burst on into the Zona Nemona whenever you want!"
:''"And get ready for the Academy Ace Tournament, 'cause I'm gonna stomp ya this time!"
::'''If spoken to again''': ''"I'm making my Pokémon some food! Y'know, I think "a tablespoon" means different amounts to different people..."

;Cabo Poco
*Outside the player's house
:''"There he/she is! Oyeee! <player>!"''
:''"Heh heh. Figured I'd tag along!"''
:''"It's way more fun to roll together!"''
:''"You bet!"''

*Inside the player's house
:''"That was such a great meal. Can't believe we got all that after we barged in outta nowhere!"''
:''"I'm so glad she remembered me!"''
:''"I love this {{p|Skwovet}} plush! This fluff's to die for!"''
:''"I'll come help!"''
:''"<player>! Arven! You are not gonna BELIEVE how good this stuff looks! There's too much to carry upstairs! C'mon down here and eat!"''
:''"I'll help with the dishes and stuff!"''
:''"Thanks, ma'am! You're the best!"''
:''"Did we miss something? Something good?! Spill it!"''
:''"Are you serious?! We're DEFINITELY going with you! This [[Kieran]] kid was Champion of a super elite battle academy, right?! I've got to meet him!"''
:''"Was it that obvious?"''
:''"The guy said to bring friends, and WE'RE those friends! He even sent tickets for us!"''
:''"You bet we do!"''
:''"You're kidding! Well, this is gonna be AMAZING, so get excited! Guess I better at least tell the housekeeper over at my place I'll be away for a while. Why don't we break for now, do whatever we gotta do, and meet up again later?"''
:''"Thanks for having us over!"''

;South Province (Area One)
*At Mesagoza's southern gate
:''"All right, <player>. Didja load up on travel snacks? Your [[Bag]] full of grub?"''
:''"OK! We've all got permission, and we're all here! No one forgot anything, right? Then vamos! Let's go!"''
:''"Let's gooooooooo!!!"''

;[[Mossui Town]]
:''"Oooh, so this is Mossui Town?"''
:''"You all smell that, right? It kinda smells different than Paldea!"''
:''"Hiya!"''
:''"Thank you very much, sir!"''
:''"He must not want any distractions from training! Think he's at his house? Should we go meet him?"''

*If talked to before visiting Kieran
:''"Do you think Kieran's at his house? I can't wait to bat—uh, befriend him!"''

*At Kieran and [[Carmine]]'s house
:''"Hey, nice to meet you! I'm Nemona! You're Kieran, yeah? <player> told us all about you! Like how you're great at Pokémon battles! Right?!"''
:''"Thanks! Now let's battle!"''
:''"That space in front of the community center looked like a good battle spot!"''
:''"Vamos! C'mon!"''

* First visit
:''"Ta-ta-tachán! Hey, <player>! I’m heeere! Man, Blueberry Academy’s awesome!"''
:''"It’s wild how different Blueberry Academy is from our school back home, huh?"''
:''"I snagged a quick look inside the Terarium. I can’t believe it’s all underwater! It all looks just like... regular above-water!"''
:''"And I heard the school puts a super-heavy focus on Pokémon battling, too! That means I can battle to my heart’s content here, right? Right?!"''
::'''Yeah! Great, right?''': ''"Yesss! As soon as I’ve taken care of what you called me for, I gotta battle every student here!"''
::'''Uh, within reason''': ''"Oh, yeah! Sorry! You’re right—I need to save some energy to battle you too!"''
:''"Y’know, I’m really glad you invited me, <player>! Thanks so much!"''

* Second visit
:''"I had a walk around the Terarium, and there were SO MANY Pokémon I’d never seen before!"''
:''"I thought about this a lot in Kitakami, too—it’s so cool seein’ unfamiliar Pokémon just living their lives as they do in nature!"''
:''"Reading about ’em in textbooks can’t hold a candle to seeing ’em for real, y’know?"''
:: '''It’s so real this way! / It’s so novel this way!''': ''"Exacto! You get me!"''
:''"Though, come to think of it, I guess there was a time when even the wild Pokémon of Paldea were brand-new to me!"''
:''"I actually moved to Paldea when I was seven. I hadn’t had a taste of Pokémon battles yet back then. Sometimes I forget what it was like being that age!"''
:''"I guess it’s good to keep having that same sense of wonder as when we were young!"''

* Third visit
:''"So, <player>! You know about the BB League, don’t you?"''
:: '''Sure I do!''': ''"I KNEW it! Why didn’t you tell me right away?!"''
:: '''First I’ve heard of it...''': ''"I’m not falling for that! I’ve done my homework!"''
: ''"And what’s more, everyone’s saying the Champion of this League is YOU!"''
:: '''It’s true!''': ''"You ARE the Champion! C’mon, you shoulda told me the awesome news sooner!"''
:: '''First I’ve heard of it...''': ''"You can’t fool me! I’ll call witnesses if I have to!"''
: ''"I am just drooling to battle the Champion of the BB League! But even more importantly..."''
: ''"I’m SO proud that my rival’s been smashing it all over the place!"''
: ''"So...I guess what I’m saying is...I shall forever remain proud to be your rival!"''
: ''"Whoops, I got a little formal there. Just too struck by your accomplishments, I guess!"''
: ''"Y’know, it just occurred to me—we’ve battled tons, but we’ve never traded once!"''
: ''"Well, there’s no time like the present—why don’t we trade Pokémon?!"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"Yesss! Toma ya! I think I’ll trade you a Tauros. What’ll you trade me?"''
::: '''After selecting a Pokémon''': ''"Nice! I’m good to trade my Tauros for your <Pokémon> if you are!''"
:: '''No''': ''"Oh, got something else you need to do? Gotcha! Let’s do it another time!"''
::: '''Talking to her after refusing''': ''"Hey, we still haven’t traded Pokémon yet. Let’s trade it up!"''
:: '''If the player only has one Pokémon in their party''': ''"Oh, wait—you can’t go trading if you’ve only got one Pokémon with ya. I think we better hold off until you’ve got at least two in your party!"''
: '''After the trade''': ''"<Pokémon>’s a great Pokémon! I’ll train it up so well, it’ll be unbeatable. Thanks for trading!"''

* Rematch
: ''"Hey, if you’ve got a few minutes, wanna battle?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"Yesss! You’re on. Let’s have us a fruitful battle!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Awww. Still fine-tuning your party or something? I was really hoping for a battle..."''

* In battle
:: '''Upon sending her last Pokémon''': ''"Well, that stinks, but I’m still having fun! And we’re only now getting to the best part!"''
:: '''Upon {{Tera}}stallizing her last Pokémon''': ''"Shine blazingly bright, our greatest treasures!"''
:: '''Before using {{m|Throat Chop}} / {{m|Shadow Ball}} / {{m|Brick Break}}''': ''"Get ready for a barrage of my hardest hits!"''
:: '''Upon being defeated''': ''"Ahhh, that was a great one!"''

* After player wins first battle
: ''"Yup, that was a great one for sure! And an L for me!"''
: ''"I hope you and I keep on battling forever, <player>— even when we’re grown up."''
: ''"In fact, we GOTTA keep battling! Let’s call it a promise! Here—something to seal the deal."''
:: '''Player receives [[Focus Sash]]''': ''"Think of me when you use it! Best rivals forever!"''

* After subsequent battles
:: '''If defeated by the player''': ''"That’s another L for me. Thanks for battling me!"''
::: '''Player receives a reward''': ''"I’ll getcha next time! Can’t wait!"''
:: '''If defeated the player''': ''"Toma ya! That’s a W for me! You fought great, though!"''

* Talking to after rematch
: ''"It seems like they don’t have too many classes in the classrooms here at Blueberry Academy, huh? I can’t believe they can just hold classes out in the Terarium! Big-time culture shock!"''
: ''"Kitakami was really fun, even though things got out of hand! We should all go again sometime!"''
: ''"I can’t believe Blueberry Academy has its own Elite Four! Oooh, I really wanna know what kind of Pokémon they all use!"''
: ''"<Pokémon>’s really coming to fruition! It might be fun to try battling using only Pokémon that we traded each other, huh?"''
: ''"That Tauros I traded you did great in my party during our Treasure Hunt! I can’t think of a better fit than having you become his Trainer, <player>!"''

* Wearing her sygna suit
: ''"I'm so sorry! I missed our meeting time, didn't I?"''
: ''"Thanks for coming to find me!"''
: ''"Oh, you noticed?"''
: ''"I finally got a [[sygna suit]] of my own! You like?"''
: ''"Oh, them?"''
: ''"I met it not long ago. It was all on its own, poor thing!"''
: ''"Of course I battled it, but then we found out that we get along really well!"''
: ''"Yeah, of course, but..."''
: ''"Like I said, I didn't see any others. It looked like it was all alone..."''
: ''"Really? So you're {{p|Scream Tail}}, huh?"''
: ''"Nice to formally make your acquaintance, Scream Tail!"''
: ''"A billion years ago, huh?"''
: ''"Oh, wow! Thanks so much, Primera!"''

*'''The Odd and Novel'''
: ''"Oh! In that case, leave it to me!"''
: ''"Let's go!"''
: ''"I'm Nemona! I heard [[Team Break]] was causing trouble, so I came to help out!"''
: ''"Sure thing!"''
: ''"That was amazing! You're so strong, {{mas|Anabel}}!"''
: ''"Please have a battle with me sometime!"''
: ''"...Hey, Anabel, did you have another job before you joined the [[International Police]]?"''
: ''"Like as a [[Gym Leader]] or an [[Elite Four]] member?"''
: ''"What's wrong?"''
: ''"Huh?!"''
: ''"Oh... I-I'm so sorry!"''
: ''"Oh, right! You see, this Pokémon..."''
: ''"Of course!"''
: ''"Thank you! I can't wait!"''
: ''"(Who she is now and what she'll do from now on, huh...)"''
: ''"I wonder what kind of person I'll become in the future..."''
: ''"Hey, what sort of Pokémon do you want to be?"''

*'''Focused on Something Else'''
: ''"Right now I'm having fun with Pokémon battles...but what do you think my future will be like?"''
: ''"So you think it's unlike me to end up in a career that's completely unrelated to battling?"''
: ''"Really? Huh."''
: ''"Speaking of, have you two thought about your future plans?"''
: ''"Good idea... I'll try that!"''
: ''"Being a [[Frontier Brain]] sounds good. I'd get to greet and battle challengers..."''
: ''"But being a Gym Leader could be fun too...or a school teacher!"''
: ''"...What would be the best for me, though?"''
: ''"{{mas|Volo}}!"''
: ''"Yeah, but..."''
: ''"Actually...I've been thinking a lot about my future..."''
: ''"What made you decide to become a merchant, Volo?"''
: ''"Oh, uh... OK."''
: ''"Yeah, that makes sense..."''
: ''"No, I wouldn't!"''
: ''"Because I'd have met so many people and Pokémon up to then..."''
: ''"I wouldn't want to erase all the fun I had battling them!"''
: ''"...Oh!"''
: ''"Thank you, Volo! I think I know the answer now!"''

*'''Scream Tail and Nemona's Choice'''
: ''"Anabel!"''
: ''"Since we met, I'd been thinking about my future!"''
: ''"I wasn't sure about the best way to live my life that really suited me."''
: ''"But the answer was right in front of me!"''
: ''"I honestly don't know much yet about Scream Tail."''
: ''"I don't know where it came from, or what it used to do back there."''
: ''"But right now, it's battling as hard as it can with me as my partner!"''
: ''"I think that's because it loves the way we have Pokémon battles here..."''
: ''"so it's decided to stay by my side."''
: ''"I think that battling together isn't just what I want to do—it's what Scream Tail wants too!"''
: ''"And it's enjoying its life here in this time to the fullest!"''
: ''"Yes!"''
: ''"As long as I live my life in the way that feels best right now..."''
: ''"then no matter how my future turns out, I can hold my head up high!"''
: ''"I'll always be able to say, "This is me! This is my life!""''
: ''"...I don't know what kind of person you were before, Anabel."''
: ''"But to me, the Anabel standing in front of me now is all that matters!"''
: ''"Please, let me have an all-out battle with you as you are today!"''
: ''"Everything I said to Anabel was true, you know."''
: ''"I'm so glad I met you here on Pasio!"''
: ''"I don't know how my future will turn out, or what other sync pairs I'll meet..."''
: ''"but that gives me so much to look forward to!"''
: ''"I want MORE! More battles with more sync pairs!"''
: ''"Oh!"''
: ''"Arven! Penny! Hey!"''

: ''"Phew..."''
: ''"W-wait up, {{p|Pawmot}}! Let's take a little break..."''
::'''What are you up to?''': ''"Oh, <player>! All right, let's battle..."''
:: ''"Actually, hold on a sec... Let me catch my breath..."''
:: ''"So, to answer your question..."''
::'''Were you running?''': ''"Oh, <player>! You're on a run, too?"''
:: ''"I guess not, huh?"''
:: ''"But as you said, <player>..."''
: ''"I've been running around the beach with Pawmot today."''
: ''"The weather's nice, too, so instead of going for a walk, I figured I'd work out instead!"''
: ''"Pawmot is tough, but I'm not as confident in my own abilities."''
: ''"I need to conquer my weakness in order to get stronger, and..."''
: ''"if I ever get as fit as Pawmot..."''
: ''"we could go all over Pasio and have loads of battles!"''
: ''"There've been many times when Pawmot could keep battling but I was too exhausted..."''
: ''"But as I am now, it's gonna take a while for me to reach Pawmot's level..."''
: ''"But I guess that's natural."''
: ''"You always loved going on runs and walks, even back in Paldea."''
::'''He did?''': ''"Yup! I'd just shout "Let's go!" and let him out of his Poké Ball!"''
:: '''Paldea?''': ''"Yup. Paldea—where I'm from—is so big!"''
: ''"So maybe he just naturally got stronger and evolved into Pawmot!"''
: ''"How he used to be a little Pawmi but kept growing and growing... It makes me feel so many emotions."''
: ''"... ... ..."''
: ''"After remembering all the battles I had with Pawmot, I'm feeling pumped!"''
: ''"Ahh! I can't stay still anymore!"''
: ''"Talking so long helped me regain some energy, so let's battle, <player>!"''
: ''"Huh? Whoa!"''
: ''"Wh-where are you going?! Pawmot!"''
: ''"H-haha... Seems he's in the mood to run today."''
: ''"Oh well. When you're part of a [[sync pair]], you gotta prioritize what your partner Pokémon wants!"''
::'''Good luck with your training!''': ''"Yup! Thanks, <player>!"''
::'''I guess we can battle another time...''': ''"Yeah, sorry..."''
:: ''"But next time we meet, we'll definitely battle!"''
: ''"See you later!"''
: ''"OK! I've gotta give this my all and catch up with Pawmot!"''

: ''"Oye, <player>!"''
: ''"I was just having a Pokémon battle with Lyra!"''
: ''"Wanna be our next opponent?!"''
: ''"Oh, that's right!"''
: ''"I was having so much fun battling with you and Jigglypuff—I got carried away!"''
: ''"We were trying to find out whether my partner here is actually Jigglypuff's ancestor...through battle!"''
: ''"It's a Pokémon called Scream Tail."''
: ''"According to this paranormal magazine in Paldea, it looks like a Jigglypuff from a billion years ago!"''
: ''"Well, the magazine might've been exaggerating a little."''
: ''"I've been so curious to know whether that story is true, though!"''
: ''"So I thought a battle with Lyra's Jigglypuff might be a good way to compare the two!"''
:: '''Wouldn't you have battled even if they weren't similar?''': ''"Hmm..."''
:: ''"I guess I would've either way... Heh!"''
:: '''Was that the only reason?''': ''"Umm..."''
:: ''"To be honest with you... I think I just really wanted to have a battle!"''
: ''"Besides, whether that magazine story is true or not..."''
: ''"Scream Tail is apparently categorized as a [[Paradox Pokémon]], and it came here from a completely different era!"''
: ''"I'm SO happy to be able to battle as a sync pair with a Pokémon we have so much to learn about!"''
: ''"There are lots of other Pokémon on Pasio that are full of mysteries too, like Ultra Beasts..."''
: ''"And there are Trainers out who can fully connect with them! I've gotta keep up!"''
: ''"Pokémon are still Pokémon, no matter where they're from...or when!"''
: ''"I wanna work hard so I can become an amazing sync pair with Scream Tail!"''
:: ''"I hope you two become a great sync pair!''': ''"Uh-huh! We're totally gonna take our connection to the next level!"''
:: ''"You two make a ferocious sync pair!''': ''"Haha! Scream Tail seems to like battling too, so I guess we're pretty similar?"''
: ''"Maybe other Pokémon from a different time will come to Pasio."''
: ''"If that ever happens, I hope they'll see us and feel inspired to become partner Pokémon, too!"''
: ''"So I'll keep on battling with everything I have!"''

: ''"Ooooh, so you became friends because you have similar tastes! That sounds fun!"''
: ''"If I remember correctly, in order to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo..."''
: ''"You have to collect a whole bunch of coins, right? How'd you manage to do that?"''
: ''"Aw, c'mon! That's not fair!"''
: ''"Isn't that a good thing, though?"''
: ''"Oh, forget about all that! I wanna battle you and Gholdengo!"''

:''Not to be confused with {{m|Shadow Force}}.''
'''Phantom Force''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストダイブ''' ''Ghost Dive'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It was [[TM086|TM86]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM151]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
===Generation VI===
Phantom Force causes the user to "vanish" on the turn it is used, making it semi-invulnerable, and then reappear the next turn causing damage.

Phantom Force hits the target even if it is protected by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}, and removes the effects of protection moves from the target for the remainder of the turn; if it hits a target that is protected by protection move that affects its whole side of the field, it removes the protection move from that entire side of the field (even if the protection move would not affect Phantom Force, such as {{m|Crafty Shield}}). If Phantom Force hits a Pokémon protected by a move with a negative effect (such as {{m|Spiky Shield}}), the user will not suffer the negative effect of the protection move. Phantom Force cannot remove the effects of protecting moves if it does not affect the target (such as if the target is {{type|Normal}}).

If the target has used {{m|Minimize}}, Phantom Force deals double its regular damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}. In addition, a foe who has just used {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} can still strike through Phantom Force, as well as if the Ability {{a|No Guard}} is possessed by the foe or the user of Phantom Force.

If a Pokémon is {{status|sleep|asleep}} when it would execute the second turn of Phantom Force, the semi-invulnerable turn will end without the move being executed.

If the user is holding a [[Power Herb]], it will consume the Power Herb and execute Phantom Force in one turn.

===Generation VII onwards===
Phantom Force no longer bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks nor deals double its regular damage against a target that has used {{m|Minimize}}.

Phantom Force cannot bypass {{m|Max Guard}} nor lift its effects.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Ghost}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}} {{gameabbrev8|SwShBDSPLA}} {{gameabbrev9|SV}}|The user vanishes somewhere, then strikes the target on the next turn. This move hits even if the target protects itself.}}

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Phantom Force is {{p|Hoopa}}'s first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 and upgrading {{m|Astonish}} into it instead of {{m|Shadow Ball}}. The user creates a ring under itself and warps to a designated Pokémon's location, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokémon at that location and shoving them. The user then shoots two sinister flames that deal damage to opposing Pokémon they hit and decrease their movement speed for a short time. This move can be used a second time within a set amount of time. If used a second time, the user can return to the initial location where it warped from. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokémon that is linked by Trick, that ally can also warp to the initial ring's location. The ally Pokémon that warps in this way will recover some HP. At level 12, the move makes the user invincible for a short time when used. In Unbound form, this move is replaced by {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

:''Not to be confused with {{m|Phantom Force}}.''
'''Shadow Force''' (Japanese: '''シャドーダイブ''' ''Shadow Dive'') is a {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Giratina}}.

==Effect==
===Generations IV and V===
Shadow Force causes the user to "vanish instantly" on the turn it is selected, rendering it semi-invulnerable, and then reappear the next turn to cause damage.

Shadow Force hits the target even if it is protected by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}, and removes the effects of protection moves from the target for the remainder of the turn; if it hits an opponent that is protected by protection move that affects its whole side of the field, it removes the protection move from the opponent's entire side of the field (even if the protection move would not affect Shadow Force, such as {{m|Wide Guard}}). Shadow Force cannot remove the effects of protecting moves if it does not affect the target (such as if the target is {{type|Normal}}).

If the user falls asleep due to {{m|Yawn}} during the semi-invulnerable turn, the move will be cancelled before it hits. In addition, a foe who has just used {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} can still strike through Shadow Force, as well as if the Ability {{a|No Guard}} is possessed by the foe or the user of Shadow Force.

[[Wild Pokémon]] cannot be caught during the semi-invulnerable stage of Shadow Force.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Shadow Force can be executed in one turn.

===Generation VI===
If the target has used {{m|Minimize}}, Shadow Force now deals double its regular damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

If Shadow Force hits a target that is protected by {{cat|protection moves|protection move}} that affects its whole side of the field, it removes the protection move from that entire side of the field (even if the protection move does not affect Shadow Force, such as {{m|Wide Guard}}), regardless of whether the target is an opponent or an ally. If Shadow Force hits a Pokémon protected by a move with a negative effect (such as {{m|Spiky Shield}}), the user will not suffer the negative effect of the protection move.

===Generation VII===
Shadow Force no longer bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks nor deals double its regular damage if the target has used {{m|Minimize}}.

===Generation VIII===
In Versions 1.0 to 1.2.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Shadow Force could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.3.0, it is usable and functions the same as it did in the previous generation.

Shadow Force also functions in the same way in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

Shadow Force cannot bypass {{m|Max Guard}} nor lift its effects.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Shadow Force is now used in a single turn. It lowers the user's [[action speed]] and obscures the user.

The user gains the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Shadow Force}} status on the first turn. On this turn, the Pokémon cannot be hit by moves and projectiles will pass the user as if their tile was empty. On the second turn, the user attacks enemy in the front. The move breaks through the enemy's {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, or {{m|Quick Guard}} to damage the enemy. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, this move's damage is doubled at the end of damage calculation.

Being a two-turn move, this move cannot be linked. Shadow Force cannot be used in a {{OBP|Pokémon Tower|Mystery Dungeon}} in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series.

'''Terapagos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テラパゴス''' ''Terapagos'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced during [[Generation IX]], in [[The Indigo Disk]] expansion.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Terapagos has {{fd|Terapagos|three forms}}: its''' Normal Form''', its '''Terastal Form''', and a unique {{type|Stellar}} [[Terastal phenomenon#Unique Terastallized states|Terastallized state]] referred to as its '''Stellar Form'''. When it enters a {{pkmn|battle}}, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its {{a|Tera Shift}} [[Ability]], and transforms from its Terastal Form into its Stellar Form upon {{Tera}}stallizing.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[game mascot]] of The Indigo Disk, appearing in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]].

{{an|Terapagos}} plays an important role in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

==Biology==
[[File:Terapagos dormant state SVID.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Terapagos in its dormant state]]
In its Normal Form, Terapagos is a small {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an indigo {{wp|tortoise}}. Its head, legs, and tail stem from a cyan, hexagonal shell with the Terastal symbol on its back: a white hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of its back. Its neck and legs each have a cyan star and ring rub, its feet each have three toes, and its tail has a cyan four-pointed star at its tip. It has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming and star-shaped pupils. It has a diamond-like pattern on its forehead and two diamonds hanging like earrings on both sides of its head. lastly, it has a "ponytail" made up of three segments of diamond-like shapes. The segments reduce in size as they get farther from the head and gain a purplish tint to them.
[[File:Terapagos energy shield.png|thumb|left|200px|Normal Form Terapagos's protective shield]]
Normal Form Terapagos is said to have a splendid aura. It is a small and particularly weak Pokémon, but it is capable of assuming a dormant state when it needs to slumber or when its life is in danger, pulling its head, limbs, and tail into its shell and shrinking in size, which makes itself look like an ordinary jewel.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/area_zero_mystery/ Introducing a Newly Discovered Pokémon!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> It also has the ability to crystallize the energy in its body to form a protective shield around itself when necessary, even in its dormant state. As depicted in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', Terapagos is shown to be unable to move if it's turned upside down. This species is seemingly able to live for millions of years while slumbering within its crystal shell. Terapagos inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era. It was thought that this species went extinct, with it said to have been caught up in seismic shifts that occurred about 2,000,000 years ago. However, {{ga|Terapagos|one Terapagos}} managed to survive by crystallizing its own body and going into hibernation in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], where it laid low until the present day.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_normal_form/ Scarlet and Violet | Normal Form Terapagos]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> According to [[Briar]], Terapagos is made of [[Terastal energy]]. Terapagos stays in its Normal Form while not battling.
[[File:Terapagos mist Horizons.png|thumb|left|200px|Normal Form Terapagos's timeline-altering mist]]
[[Heath]] is the one who discovered Terapagos and coined its name.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the chapter "A Disk Pokémon?" of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} did research on this Pokémon while in [[Area Zero]]. Terapagos appears to naturally cause glowing crystals to form around it as it slumbers thanks to its ability to transform its own energy into hard crystals, which gave Area Zero the distinctive appearance it possesses. For a long time, many thought Terapagos was fake and that Heath had made it up, but Briar proved its existence by writing her own book: "[[Briar's Book|The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]", which details the expedition she, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]], and the {{player}} had in Area Zero Underdepths.

The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} imply that Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], which is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the [[Pokédex]]. With the power of its crystals, Terapagos can {{m|Tera Starstorm|bombard its foes with countless star-shaped projectiles}}. Terapagos also has the ability to alter timelines in some capacity, as seen in both games and ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'', it is capable of bringing [[human]]s, [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon]], and objects either from other points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"[...] It sends Poké Balls to a different point on the timeline to catch Pokémon there, and it can then draw them back here to the present."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]])</ref> or from other timelines altogether<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> to the point in time and space it currently is. When using its timeline-altering powers, a pink mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back. The true limits of this power are currently unknown, but seems to affect humans and objects differently, as the player was able to keep the copy of the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} owned by the professor after the encounter at [[Kitakami]]'s [[Crystal Pool]]. Due to the Terastal energy its body produces, Terapagos was responsible for allowing advanced technologies, such as [[Tera Orb|Tera Orbs]], the professor's [[AI Sada|AI]] [[AI Turo|copy]], and the "[[time machine]]", to exist in spite of human limitations. It is also implied to be responsible for the growth of [[Herba Mystica]], special herbs that can heal or even make Pokémon grow [[Titan Pokémon|larger]].

Terapagos can give a [[Tera Orb]] the ability to Terastallize Pokémon with no charging drawbacks.<ref>[[Briar]]: ''"[...] I think it might be because your orbs were directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos. Kieran and Carmine say that ever since the underdepths, they've been able to Terastallize their Pokémon without charging their Tera Orbs."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Terapagos is also the source of the {{t|Stellar}} [[Type|Tera Type]], a unique Tera Type that contains the powers of each and every type.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/stellar_tera_type/ Master the Stellar Tera Type—the 19th Tera Type!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> It could only be found in Area Zero Underdepths, where Terapagos slumbers, however, Briar used crystals growing there on [[Blueberry Academy]]'s Terarium core so it appears in the academy's [[Terarium]] as well. Unlike other Pokémon, it will always receive the full benefits of the Stellar Tera Type, even outside of [[Tera Raid Battle]]s.

Terapagos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Tera Starstorm}}. Its Normal Form is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shift}} as an [[Ability]]. Its Tera Type is fixed as Stellar and cannot be changed at the {{DL|Medali|Treasure Eatery}}.
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and Stellar Form. Terapagos is capable of floating in its Terastal and Stellar forms.

;Terastal Form Terapagos

[[File:Terastal Terapagos using Water Pulse.jpg|thumb|200px|Terastal Form Terapagos transforming while using {{m|Water Pulse}}]]
Terapagos {{a|Tera Shift|can absorb the energy around itself}} in order to crystallize it and clad its body in a larger, sturdier shell. It also causes the rings on its legs to transform into fur, which forms a mane and three tails, thus transforming into its Terastal Form.

Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles an indigo {{wp|sea turtle}}. It now has two patches of voluminous, shiny fur: one near its head, vaguely forming a mane, and the other where its star-tipped tail used to be, vaguely forming three separate tails. The color of its fur varies between a greenish yellow and sky blue. In dark places like caves, this fur glows bright blueish-white. Its hind legs have been fully covered by the fur, while only the toes of its front legs are visible, barely poking out of the mane. The eyes remain unchanged from the Normal Form's ones, but they are seen gleaming with the same hue as the fur. The diamond-shaped earrings and ponytail seem to have merged with Terapagos's head.

Terapagos's shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy, with eighteen irregular pentagons on its surface, each decorated with symbols of varying shapes and colors in a way to resemble the eighteen [[type]]s. The symbols morph back and forth to abstract shapes. On the center of its shell is a cyan, hexagonal gem adorned with the Terastal symbol, much like the small crystal shell of Normal Form Terapagos. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell that are a solid light blue color. Due to its lack of legs, Terapagos needs to float to move around in this form. [[Kieran]] assumes Terapagos's Terastal Form is its true form; this, however, is currently unproven.

Normal Form Terapagos enters its Terastal Form when it is either in danger or about to battle. Its shell {{a|Tera Shell|holds the power of every type}}, allowing it to temporarily distort type matchups and render all damage-dealing moves as ineffective.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Terastal Form Terapagos]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> The shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using specific beam-like attacks, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, flies up, and shoots the beam from the cyan, hexagonal gem in the center of its shell. In this form, it is known as "'''the indigo disk'''", due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.

Terastal Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tera Shell}} as an [[Ability]].

;Stellar Form Terapagos
[[File:Stellar Terapagos using Meteor Beam.png|thumb|left|200px|Stellar Form Terapagos transforming while using {{m|Meteor Beam}}]]
When exposed to a [[Tera Orb]], Terapagos will be {{Tera}}stallized and turn {{type|Stellar}}, thus transforming into its Stellar Form.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_stellar_form/ Scarlet and Violet Site | Stellar Form Terapagos]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref>

Stellar Form Terapagos glows with power and is fully coated by {{t|Stellar|rainbow-colored}} aura. Its true body is virtually identical to Terastal Form Terapagos and is seen floating above a large, crystal, indigo dome covered in layers of overlapping hexagons. Under the dome, there're four crystals positioned like the legs of a turtle. The gem on the center of Terastal Form's shell has expanded outward into the shape of a crown bejeweled with rhombuses of varying colors. Atop of the crown-like structure lays a miniature version of Normal Form Terapagos and, above it, the Terastal symbol. Hexagonal gems orbit around Stellar Form Terapagos, each representing one of the eighteen types and bearing their respective icons and colors. Terapagos needs to float to move around in this form as well.

Terapagos has taken this form at least three times throughout history: in ancient times, during the Area Zero expedition (200 years ago), and in the present time. This form is said to resemble the world as ancient [[human]]s saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, [[Heath]] describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a Pokémon, or even alive to begin with, however, he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos also risks wreaking havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist going back into even the most powerful of [[Poké Ball]]s, the [[Master Ball]], destroying it in the process.

Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing Terastal energy from other Terastallized Pokémon, causing their Terastallized state to be undone earlier than intended. With it, it can create multiple Tera Shields and even change its type amidst battle, though this seems to be limited to only three times per battle. The hidden powers within Stellar Form Terapagos are capable of {{a|Teraform Zero|reducing to zero all effects of weather and terrain}}. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using specific beam-like attacks, Stellar Form Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to shoot the beam from it. In this form, it is also known as "'''the hidden treasure of Area Zero'''" due to its status as the secret treasure that was sought by the Paldean empire.

Stellar Form Terapagos is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Teraform Zero}} as an [[Ability]].

===Form data===
Outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, Terapagos is always in its Normal Form. When it enters a battle for the first time, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Tera Shift}} and will never change back to Normal Form until the battle ends, even if it [[faint]]s. As a result, its Normal Form cannot legitimately be used in a battle. Terastal Form Terapagos also has Tera Shift replaced by its other signature Ability, {{a|Tera Shell}}. If Terapagos {{Tera}}stallizes during a battle, it transforms into its Stellar Form, where Tera Shell is replaced by its third signature Ability, {{a|Teraform Zero}}. Its [[signature move]] {{m|Tera Starstorm}} also changes from {{t|Normal}}- to {{type|Stellar}} and targets both opponents in a [[Double Battle]].

Terapagos cannot have its Tera Type changed from {{t|Stellar}} at the [[Treasure Eatery]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Disc Pokémon.png|200px|thumb|Stellar Form Terapagos Sketch in the Scarlet/Violet Books]]
*Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
*Terapagos has several similarities to {{p|Eternatus}}. Both are [[Legendary Pokémon]] that are responsible for the special type of transformation ([[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] and {{Tera}}stallization) found within their respective [[region]]s of origin ([[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]) after entering a state of dormancy sometime in the distant past. They also both have transformations exclusive to them related to these phenomena increasing their [[stat]]s (Eternatus's [[Eternamax]] form and Terapagos's Stellar Form, though the former is unobtainable) and can absorb the energy needed to use these transformations from other Pokémon, thereby rendering them unavailable. They also each have a form that cannot be used by the player in battle with programmed stats (Eternatus's Eternamax form and Terapagos's Normal form, the latter of which can be brought into battle but not used due to its unsurpressable ability). Both of them were also introduced in a game which would receive DLC and whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[Legendary duo]].
*In the closed captions of the initial [[TV Tokyo]] broadcast of [[HZ023]], Terapagos was mistakenly referred to as コダイカメ ''Kodaikame'' (from 古代亀 ''kodaikame'', literally "ancient turtle").<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1705193807460098511 The closed captions for tonight’s #anipoke episode confirm that the Pokémon inside Liko’s pendant is named Kodaikame (コダイカメ). - @DogasusBackpack on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1705215549121396945 本日のアニメ『ポケットモンスター』字幕放送にて、ポケモン・テラパゴスの名称を、正式ではない表記をしておりました。正式な表記は「テラパゴス」です。 - @anipoke_PR on Twitter]</ref>
**In the files for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Terapagos is internally referred to as "kodaikame", which, coupled with the anime's mistake, implies that this may have been its prototype name.
*Terapagos is the only Pokémon with an EV yield total of more than three, with its Terastal Form having a total of four.
**Terapagos is also the only Pokémon with a different EV yield total between each of its forms, with Normal having one, Terastal having four, and Stellar having three.
*While Terapagos as a species has a 50-50 gender ratio, the only Terapagos encounter is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.
*Terapagos cannot have its {{Tera|Tera Type}} be changed under normal circumstances in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Terapagos to have a different Tera Type, the game will lag significantly while Terastallizing; however, unlike with {{p|Ogerpon}}, the game will not {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}}. {{a|Illusion}} will also not work if either Terapagos or the Pokémon with said Ability Terastallize.
*Terapagos is the only Pokémon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that is able to learn moves through [[TM]]s, but cannot learn {{m|Tera Blast}} (despite the move using [[Terastal energy]], which Terapagos is responsible for creating).
*Terapagos's [[cry]] is almost identical to the sound that is made when a Pokémon Terastallizes.
**The cry also incorporates the leitmotif commonly associated in-game with [[Area Zero]], Terapagos's habitat. It is more easily distinguished when the cry is played at slower speed.
*Normal Form Terapagos is tied with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Shroodle}} for the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
*Terapagos is the only Pokémon to have three [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]].
* When using specific beam-like [[move]]s (such as {{m|Meteor Beam}}) Stellar Form Terapagos will use the 18 hexagonal gems orbiting its dome to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. This symbol is the very same one featured in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] expansion's logo.
*While in game, Terapagos is categorized as the Tera Pokémon, in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's official website, it is categorized as the Terastal Pokémon.

===Origin===
Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It, especially in its Normal Form, may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}; in particular, it may be inspired by {{wp|Lonesome George}}, the last {{wp|Pinta Island Tortoise}} (a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise), as Terapagos is said to be extinct aside from a lone male survivor. The Terastal Form's hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}.

Terapagos, especially in its Stellar Form, may also reference the {{wp|World Turtle}}, a mythical turtle found in various mythologies that was said to carry the world upon its back. This connection is furthered by the Stellar Form's Pokédex entries, which state that it resembles "the world as the ancients saw it" and "a planet floating in space". By extension, Terapagos's Stellar Form may be a reference to the expression "{{wp|turtles all the way down}}", as it has a crystal in the shape of its Normal Form above its shell, and it floats on top of a larger dome shaped like a tortoise shell. The expression "turtles all the way down" refers to the idea that the World Turtle rests on the back of a larger turtle, and that turtle rests on the back of an even larger turtle, and so on.

The tessellation on Terapagos's shell contains [[type]] icons and could be based on the unique pattern on the back of the {{wp|diamondback terrapin}}. Terapagos's crystalline composition may also take inspiration from {{wp|chitons}}, marine mollusks with flat disk-shaped bodies and eye-like peripherals composed of rock.

====Name origin====
Terapagos may be a combination of ''{{Tera}}stal'', ''{{wp|terrapin}}'', and ''galápagos'' (a Spanish word for turtles, most recognizable because of the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}).

{{redirect|Trainer|other uses|Trainer (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Bandai Jumbo5 Peeled.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Generation I]] artwork of Pokémon Trainers flying on their Pokémon]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

Pokémon Trainer is a broad term for any person who owns Pokémon, including {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeders}}. However, the term is more often used to refer to people on a {{pkmn|journey}} to collect [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and enter the [[Pokémon League]].

==Terminology==
In some early official media, the word "'''trainer'''" was written in lowercase. For instance:

* ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}})

==In the core series games==
[[File:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|250px|left|Trainers from different classes, from left to right: a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}, a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], to travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow—when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in the [[Pokémon anime]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

Above the level of Gym Leaders and island kahunas are the [[Elite Four]] members and the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. There are also Trainers who serve as {{cat|Battle facility leaders|leaders}} for [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] not recognized by the Pokémon League, such as the [[Frontier Brain]]s of the [[Battle Frontier]] and the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s of the [[Battle Maison]]. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for them to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s and {{pkmn|poacher}}s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income. Several [[Eevee users]] are seen having to take up part-time jobs in order to obtain the finances needed to support themselves, with the latter being unable to go into retirement using just the funds from Pokémon training.

Historically, Pokémon Trainers used to be known as '''Pokémon Wielders''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンつかい''' ''Pokémon Users''). In the games, [[Volo]] is the only one to have this Trainer class, but the term is also mentioned throughout [[Raifort]]'s explanation about the [[treasures of ruin]]:
<blockquote>The Pokémon wielders apparently used sacred stakes to seal these treasures of ruin in shrines. There is a separate shrine for each of the four Pokémon, and eight stakes driven into the ground in the areas surrounding each shrine keep the power of ruin at bay.</blockquote>

===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''' are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

All Trainer classes have overworld or field sprites that sometimes may be used for non-Trainers. Unlike in-battle sprites, overworld sprites may be shared between multiple Trainer classes such as the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} overworld sprite, which is shared with {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s in Generation IV. Notable Trainer classes, such as Gym Leaders, have unique sprites between each individual one. Trainer classes can be combined in certain [[Double Battle]]s; for example a {{tc|Crush Girl}} and a {{tc|Black Belt}} can team up to form a {{tc|Crush Kin}}; however, special class names are not created for Trainers involved in a [[Multi Battle]].

Starting from [[Generation III]], the [[player character|player]] assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation.

===As a Trainer class===
[[File:Red HGSS battle.png|thumb|250px|The Trainer class as it appears in-battle]]
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer" until [[Generation VI]], in which the full title "Pokémon Trainer" is written out) is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena Trainers the player will face. This class is used for all [[rival]]s (except {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}}, who are instead outright referred to as rivals), every opponent in link battles and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], {{DL|Battle Tree|special Trainers}} in the [[Battle Tree]], and {{DL|Battle Agency|Bosses}} of the [[Battle Agency]], as well as the following characters:

* {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}: {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Cal}}, and {{ga|Carrie}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Play It! series===
In the introduction of [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says that she and the [[player character]] are Pokémon Trainers. However, they play the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} rather than train Pokémon. In the lesson "What's a Trainer card?", Julie mentions that [[Bill]] is a Trainer as well.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "{{sbw|Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}}" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|members}} {{p|Ivysaur|of}} {{p|Charizard|the}} [[evolution]]ary families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others. While he was absent in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], he returned in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], along an alternate female version based on {{ga|Leaf}}.

====Trophy information====

[[File:Pokémon Trainer XY 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Pokémon Trainer X&Y trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Two trophies appear in the 3DS version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], one of the Brawl character and one of the player characters from {{g|X and Y}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer=====
'''NA''': ''Pop quiz! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris, and Ash all have in common? That's right—they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is the same. Back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, [[Pokémon Theme|he fought to be the very best—like no one ever was. To smash them was his real test—to launch them was his cause!]]''

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same.

=====Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y) (NA)/Trainers (PAL)=====
'''NA''': ''We suppose it's possible you've missed out up till now, so let us explain: in Pokémon, you set out from your hometown on a Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them.

'''PAL''': ''If you've been living under a rock for some years now, let us explain.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
In {{g|Shuffle}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon (which appear as bosses in [[stage (Shuffle)#Main stage|main stage]]s and [[Competitive Stage]]s) are each accompanied by a Pokémon Trainer. These Pokémon Trainers are depicted in silhouette, say only one line before sending out their Pokémon, and do not say anything after the battle.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Pokémon Trainers. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー」 ''"Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."''
* It is stated in the {{pkmn|anime}} that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10; however, this is not the case in other media as some Trainers are obviously below the minimum age, such as the Trainer classes {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|Tuber}}, and {{tc|Preschooler}}. Some Preschoolers in the [[Battle Subway]] emphasize the fact that they are four years old. However, in the anime episode ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentions that young kids are allowed to have battles for fun.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], the word "Trainer" is not capitalized. However, it is capitalized in later games.
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon training was a very dangerous sport, as the mere act of training a Pokémon can result in severe injuries or even death. It also mentions that various men try to go out and become a Pokémon trainer at age 10 (which was considered the legal age of adulthood), and there was a high dropout rate regarding whether they become skilled Trainers that afterwards they come across as incompetent. It is also implied that this is the reason why many professional workplaces are primarily staffed by women.
* [[Pokémon X and Y]] introduced the most new Trainer classes of any [[core series]] game, with 47.
* {{game|Crystal}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} introduced the fewest new Trainer classes of any core series games, with one each.
* The only Trainer classes to appear in every main line game are the {{tc|Black Belt}}, {{tc|Hiker}}, and {{tc|Youngster}}.

'''Mimikyu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミミッキュ''' ''Mimikkyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mimikyu changes [[#Form data|forms]], from '''Disguised Form''' into '''Busted Form''', when it is hit by an attack.

==Biology==
Mimikyu is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is almost entirely hidden under an old rag. Its small size makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{t|Ghost}} types. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black-tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. The head is hollow and can be used to store objects. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backward, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within.

A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. It is unknown what Mimikyu's true appearance looks like. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness or even a painful death. Because of this, Mimikyu will become agitated and violently stop anyone from attempting to look underneath its rag. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise, thinking that its disguise would allow it to make friends with people.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917171041/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Mimikyu]</ref> Unfortunately, this attempt makes its disguise look more creepy. Until recent times, Mimikyu was initially thought by humans to be just a ghost wearing a cloth.
Mimikyu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Disguise}} as an [[Ability]].

</gallery>

===Forms===
Mimikyu has two forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form.

Mimikyu changes into its Busted Form when it is hit by an attack and its neck breaks, causing it to slump over and no longer convincingly resemble a Pikachu. Ordinarily, the rag it wears allows Mimikyu to avoid attacks. Mimikyu will attempt to keep up its disguise, even if its rag is broken. However, if its rag does get damaged or its neck gets broken, it will spend all night patching it in front of a mirror as if its life depends on it. Repairing the rag correctly is often difficult for Mimikyu, so it cries a lot on the inside. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Unforgiving, Mimikyu will take down the culprit at the risk of costing its own life in the process. Mimikyu will never forget the person who damaged its rag for as long as it is still alive.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Jessie Mimikyu.png|thumb|left|250px|Mimikyu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Acerola Mimikins.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Mimikyu in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Mimikyu]]=====
Mimikyu debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. Though {{Ash}} tried to catch it, it decided to side with {{TRT}} instead after spotting {{AP|Pikachu}} and becoming enraged by his presence. Mimikyu was properly {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Jessie]] in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''.

=====Other=====
A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu, [[nickname]]d '''Mimikins''' (Japanese '''ミミたん''' ''Mimi-tan''), debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', under the ownership of [[Acerola]]. Unlike regular Mimikyu, Mimikins is an actual [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]] of a deceased Mimikyu, and thus can float in the air and pass through solid objects. It has since made further appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

====Minor appearances====
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mimikyu appeared in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Alola}}
{{Animedexbody|SM003|Mimikyu|Rotom Pokédex|Mimikyu, the Disguise Pokémon. A {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} type. It wears a ragged head cover to look like a Pikachu, but little is known about this Pokémon. It's said that a scholar who once tried to look inside met his end.}}

[[File:Mimikyu Ghost Dive.png|thumb|250px|Mimikyu in {{so|Ghost Dive}}]]
A Mimikyu briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of [[Acerola]].

===POKÉTOON===
A Mimikyu appeared in ''[[PT01|Scraggy and Mimikyu]]''.

===Ghost Dive===
Mimikyu is the lead Pokémon in the music video for the song {{so|Ghost Dive}}, performed by [[Polkadot Stingray]]. Notably, it is the favorite Pokémon of vocalist Shizuku,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230920112732/https://twitter.com/HZshizuku/status/1704424544654831978</ref> and its cry is sampled in the arrangement of Lavender Town.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sun Penny.png|thumb|200px|Mimikyu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mimikyu debuted in ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]''. {{adv|Sun}} was tasked with taking a picture of a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Mimikyu that lived at the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} in order to complete his second [[island challenge|trial]]. After befriending the Totem, Sun {{pkmn2|caught}} him and [[nickname]]d him Penny.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Mimikyu.jpeg|thumb|250px|Mimikyu in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Mimikyu appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses its exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}} on any opponent who gets too close to it. Unlike its depiction in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, Mimikyu grabs its target instead of jumping on top of it. If the target is at 90% damage or more, they will be {{sbw|instant KO|instantly KO'd}}, and Mimikyu will leave behind its disguise and presumably depart afterwards.

Mimikyu also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. If its Spirit is equipped, the fighter will start the match with Death's Scythe.

===Form data===
Mimikyu has two interchangeable forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form. It will always be in its Disguised Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. Mimikyu starts battles in its Disguised Form. When it is hit by a damaging [[move]], its [[Ability]] {{a|Disguise}} reduces the damage it takes from it: in [[Generation VII]], it takes no damage from it at all, and in [[Generation VIII]] onward, it nullifies the attack's damage but then loses 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. Afterwards, its disguise slumps to the side and it changes into Busted Form. While in Busted Form, it can be damaged normally. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it [[fainted|faint]]s or the battle ends.

==Trivia==
* Mimikyu is the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape|with a serpentine body]].
* Mimikyu was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?s=special/my151cam My151キャンペーン] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220423234524/https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?s=special%2Fmy151cam archived copy]; section: イラストレーター紹介はこちら)</ref>
* On October 20, 2016, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Mimikyu-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Mimikyu's Song]].
* According to an official piece of merchandise, Mimikyu's height does not count the head of the disguise, only the body.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokeshopperVGC/status/956854089907924993 @PokeshopperVGC on Twitter]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Mimikyu was voted the most popular [[Generation VII]] Pokémon, receiving 99,077 votes. It was also the third-most popular Pokémon overall.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it is the only Pokémon that can be obtained in both versions as an obtainable {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon.
* Due to a [[Rollout storage glitch|glitch]], if Mimikyu is hit by {{m|Rollout}} or {{m|Ice Ball}}, the [[damage]] multiplier for these moves can also be applied to other [[move]]s. Mimikyu shares this trait with {{p|Eiscue}}. This glitch was patched out in Version 1.3.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Mimikyu's disguise is based on {{p|Pikachu}}. The execution of the disguise is similar to ghost costumes made from bedsheets. Mimikyu also shares similarities with the {{wp|Bugul Noz}}, a {{wp|Breton mythology|Breton myth}} about a kind and gentle fairy spirit whose horrifying ugliness causes it to be perpetually alone. The fact that Mimikyu's true appearance can kill may be a reference to {{wp|Lovecraftian horror|Lovecraftian}} or eldritch monsters; if any person were to see their true forms, they would either be driven insane or die.

====Name origin====

Mimikyu and Mimikkyu may be derived from ''mimic'' and きゅうきゅう ''kyūkyū'' (onomatopoeia for squeaking, similar to {{p|Pikachu}}). It may also involve a corruption of 迷宮 ''meikyuu'' (mystery).

FireLordSSBU: /* Biology */ Mimikyu isn't capable of floating in the air. Mimikins, Acerola's Shiny Mimikyu, can float because it's a ghost of a deceased Mimikyu, allowing it to float.

'''Mimikyu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミミッキュ''' ''Mimikkyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mimikyu changes [[#Form data|forms]], from '''Disguised Form''' into '''Busted Form''', when it is hit by an attack.

==Biology==
Mimikyu is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is almost entirely hidden under an old rag. Its small size makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{t|Ghost}} types. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black-tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. The head is hollow and can be used to store objects. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backward, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within.

A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. It is unknown what Mimikyu's true appearance looks like. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness or even a painful death. Because of this, Mimikyu will become agitated and violently stop anyone from attempting to look underneath its rag. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise, thinking that its disguise would allow it to make friends with people.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160917171041/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Mimikyu]</ref> Unfortunately, this attempt makes its disguise look more creepy. Until recent times, Mimikyu was initially thought by humans to be just a ghost wearing a cloth.
Mimikyu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Disguise}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Mimikyu has two forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form.

Mimikyu changes into its Busted Form when it is hit by an attack and its neck breaks, causing it to slump over and no longer convincingly resemble a Pikachu. Ordinarily, the rag it wears allows Mimikyu to avoid attacks. Mimikyu will attempt to keep up its disguise, even if its rag is broken. However, if its rag does get damaged or its neck gets broken, it will spend all night patching it in front of a mirror as if its life depends on it. Repairing the rag correctly is often difficult for Mimikyu, so it cries a lot on the inside. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Unforgiving, Mimikyu will take down the culprit at the risk of costing its own life in the process. Mimikyu will never forget the person who damaged its rag for as long as it is still alive.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Jessie Mimikyu.png|thumb|left|250px|Mimikyu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Acerola Mimikins.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Mimikyu in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Mimikyu]]=====
Mimikyu debuted in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]''. Though {{Ash}} tried to catch it, it decided to side with {{TRT}} instead after spotting {{AP|Pikachu}} and becoming enraged by his presence. Mimikyu was properly {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Jessie]] in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''.

=====Other=====
A {{Shiny}} Mimikyu, [[nickname]]d '''Mimikins''' (Japanese '''ミミたん''' ''Mimi-tan''), debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', under the ownership of [[Acerola]]. Unlike regular Mimikyu, Mimikins is an actual [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]] of a deceased Mimikyu, and thus can float in the air and pass through solid objects. It has since made further appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

====Minor appearances====
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Mimikyu appeared in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]''.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Alola}}
{{Animedexbody|SM003|Mimikyu|Rotom Pokédex|Mimikyu, the Disguise Pokemon. A {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} type. It wears a ragged head cover to look like a Pikachu, but little is known about this Pokémon. It's said that a scholar who once tried to look inside met his end.}}

===GOTCHA!===
[[File:Mimikyu POKÉTOON.png|thumb|left|250px|Mimikyu in [[POKÉTOON]]]]
[[File:Mimikyu Ghost Dive.png|thumb|250px|Mimikyu in {{so|Ghost Dive}}]]
A Mimikyu briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], under the ownership of [[Acerola]].

===POKÉTOON===
A Mimikyu appeared in ''[[PT01|Scraggy and Mimikyu]]''.

===Ghost Dive===
Mimikyu is the lead Pokémon in the music video for the song {{so|Ghost Dive}}, performed by [[Polkadot Stingray]]. Notably, it is the favorite Pokémon of vocalist Shizuku,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230920112732/https://twitter.com/HZshizuku/status/1704424544654831978</ref> and its cry is sampled in the arrangement of Lavender Town.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sun Penny.png|thumb|200px|Mimikyu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mimikyu debuted in ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]''. {{adv|Sun}} was tasked with taking a picture of a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Mimikyu that lived at the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} in order to complete his second [[island challenge|trial]]. After befriending the Totem, Sun {{pkmn2|caught}} him and [[nickname]]d him Penny.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSB Mimikyu.jpeg|thumb|250px|Mimikyu in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Mimikyu appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}, where it uses its exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}} on any opponent who gets too close to it. Unlike its depiction in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, Mimikyu grabs its target instead of jumping on top of it. If the target is at 90% damage or more, they will be {{sbw|instant KO|instantly KO'd}}, and Mimikyu will leave behind its disguise and presumably depart afterwards.

Mimikyu also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. If its Spirit is equipped, the fighter will start the match with Death's Scythe.

===Form data===
Mimikyu has two interchangeable forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form. It will always be in its Disguised Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. Mimikyu starts battles in its Disguised Form. When it is hit by a damaging [[move]], its [[Ability]] {{a|Disguise}} reduces the damage it takes from it: in [[Generation VII]], it takes no damage from it at all, and in [[Generation VIII]] onward, it nullifies the attack's damage but then loses 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. Afterwards, its disguise slumps to the side and it changes into Busted Form. While in Busted Form, it can be damaged normally. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it [[fainted|faint]]s or the battle ends.

==Trivia==
* Mimikyu is the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape|with a serpentine body]].
* Mimikyu was designed by [[Megumi Mizutani]].<ref>[https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?s=special/my151cam My151キャンペーン] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220423234524/https://www.pokemoncenter-online.com/?s=special%2Fmy151cam archived copy]; section: イラストレーター紹介はこちら)</ref>
* On October 20, 2016, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Mimikyu-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Mimikyu's Song]].
* According to an official piece of merchandise, Mimikyu's height does not count the head of the disguise, only the body.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokeshopperVGC/status/956854089907924993 @PokeshopperVGC on Twitter]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Mimikyu was voted the most popular [[Generation VII]] Pokémon, receiving 99,077 votes. It was also the third-most popular Pokémon overall.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, it is the only Pokémon that can be obtained in both versions as an obtainable {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon.
* Due to a [[Rollout storage glitch|glitch]], if Mimikyu is hit by {{m|Rollout}} or {{m|Ice Ball}}, the [[damage]] multiplier for these moves can also be applied to other [[move]]s. Mimikyu shares this trait with {{p|Eiscue}}. This glitch was patched out in Version 1.3.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Mimikyu's disguise is based on {{p|Pikachu}}. The execution of the disguise is similar to ghost costumes made from bedsheets. Mimikyu also shares similarities with the {{wp|Bugul Noz}}, a {{wp|Breton mythology|Breton myth}} about a kind and gentle fairy spirit whose horrifying ugliness causes it to be perpetually alone. The fact that Mimikyu's true appearance can kill may be a reference to {{wp|Lovecraftian horror|Lovecraftian}} or eldritch monsters; if any person were to see their true forms, they would either be driven insane or die.

====Name origin====

Mimikyu and Mimikkyu may be derived from ''mimic'' and きゅうきゅう ''kyūkyū'' (onomatopoeia for squeaking, similar to {{p|Pikachu}}). It may also involve a corruption of 迷宮 ''meikyuu'' (mystery).

'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} {{pkmn2|Legendary}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it is a futuristic relative of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Miraidon has five {{form|Koraidon and Miraidon|different forms}} it changes between when it travels the [[Paldea]] region or adapts to a situation.
*'''Low-Power Mode''' when it has little power.
*'''Drive Mode''' when traveling on land.
*'''Aquatic Mode''' when traveling in water.
*'''Glide Mode''' when traveling in the skies.
*'''Ultimate Mode''' during battle and full strength.

Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. It is a Paradox Pokémon, also known as the "Iron Serpent" (Japanese: '''テツノオロチ''' ''Tetsuno'orochi''), and a member of the [[Paradox duo]] along with {{p|Koraidon}}.

==Biology==
Ultimate Mode Miraidon is a large robotic reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is violet in color, although its face, claws, abdomen, and tail are silver. Additionally, there are light blue accents on its shoulders and legs, the latter of which resemble jet engines when folded and allow it to float in the air. Its head has a dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}}, circular purple cheeks, two pairs of antennae, and black eyes. The eyes have a pixelated display; they usually show yellow-cyan pupils, although Miraidon can simulate blinking by changing the display pattern. Inside Miraidon's body is what appears to be purplish-yellow energy, with light blue streaks accenting it. This energy is mostly concentrated on its throat (forming a prominent circular growth), tail, and antennae (which can emit the energy in a manner similar to electricity).

Miraidon was brought to the present era through the [[Time travel|Time Machine]] created by [[Professor Turo]] 10 years ago, but it is different from the other [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He was capable of only bringing two of them and is also the one who coined Miraidon's name. According to the [[Violet Book]], Miraidon is known as the ''Iron Serpent'' and is said to be much more ruthless and powerful than its ancestor {{p|Cyclizar}}. It is powerful enough to use its lightning to turn the land into ash.

While apparently accustomed to humans, Miraidon uses its power of insight and observation to carefully judge a person's character before it decides whether to join them or not. It has a calm and collected disposition, and it is very difficult for others to tell what it is thinking or feeling due to its robotic nature, with the only available hints presented in its eyes. In its Ultimate Mode, it keeps itself afloat to maintain an advantageous position that applies pressure to grounded opponents, and it anticipates their moves before striking at their weak points. It uses the electricity generated in its internal organs to charge its claws, fangs, and tail. One strike from its charged tail is said to knock out even the sturdiest foe.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/</ref> While asleep, it turns itself off, causing the energy on its throat, tail and antennae to disappear, making them turn silver, similar to what happens in its Low-Power Mode.

The rest of Miraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.

Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Aside from Ultimate Mode, Miraidon has four other forms it can assume depending on the situation.

Low-Power Mode Miraidon walks on all fours, with the jet engine-like legs unfolding. The antennae become light silver along with the throat. The eyes are light blue. The other glowing parts of its body become violet. Miraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Miraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Drive Mode Miraidon can generate the energy in its tail and throat and turn them into wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate. Drive Mode Miraidon is capable of driving up cliffs. Aquatic Mode Miraidon is similar in appearance to Drive Mode and propels itself using both its rings and the jet engines on its legs. Glide Mode Miraidon moves its antennae in order to expand an energy membrane, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]]:
** Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
** To each have their own unique Abilities.
** To not have different names in other languages.
* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its {{p|Cyclizar|present-day}} and {{p|Koraidon|ancient}} relatives.
** It is tied with {{p|Walking Wake}} as the tallest Paradox Pokémon overall.
** It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word “Iron” in its name. However, its previous name according to the Violet Book is “Iron Serpent”.
* Miraidon has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use [[wikipedia:Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese]] and [[wikipedia:Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean]] words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at [[Level]] 49. After updating the game, it can only learn it via [[TM]].
* Despite being able to swim with the player on its back, Miraidon can't learn {{m|Surf}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Koraidon}}.

===Origin===
Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s, with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}.

Looking at its snake-like body and its Electric type, it possibly takes inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightnings.

====Name origin====
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.

Tetsuno'orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).

G-Max Move

2023-11-01T02:42:37Z

FireLordSSBU: /* List of G-Max Moves */

A '''G-Max Move''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックスわざ''' ''{{tt|Kyodaimax|Gigantamax}} Move'') is a special type of [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. G-Max Moves are special [[Max Move]]s that are exclusive to [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Effects==
For Gigantamax Pokémon, damaging [[move]]s of a certain [[type]] become its [[signature move|exclusive]] G-Max Move instead of the normal corresponding [[Max Move]]. Each species of Gigantamax Pokémon has its own unique G-Max Move and vice versa. Like Max Moves, the [[damage category]] and base [[power]] of most G-Max Moves are taken from that of the compatible base move ({{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}, {{m|G-Max Fireball}}, and {{m|G-Max Hydrosnipe}} being exceptions, with a 160 fixed base power whatever the base move is), and cannot be fully protected against by {{cat|protection moves}} (such as {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}), except by the Max Move {{m|Max Guard}}. Most G-Max Moves use the same power as their Max Move counterparts (except the aforementioned three); thus, the only difference between most G-Max Moves and Max Moves of the same type is their secondary effects.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
Certain [[sync pair]]s are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing their partner Pokémon, including some Trainers that do not have Dynamax Bands in the core series. G-Max Moves have either 400 or 450 base power, which can be increased up to a maximum power of 480 and 540, respectively.

G-Max Moves otherwise function identically to max moves. A sync pair can only use a max move once per battle, but it can be used at any time. If all three sync pairs on the player's team are capable of using max moves, the player can use up to three max moves in that battle - one for each sync pair. Similar to sync moves, using a max move does not advance the user's sync move countdown, but it always hits and ignores the target's Enduring effect, if applicable.

Although {{m|Eternabeam}} is a standard [[move]] in the [[core series]] games, in Pokémon Masters EX, it is treated as a [[Max Move|max move]] that is exclusive to {{p|Eternatus}}. Because this is the same way G-Max Moves work, Eternabeam is included in the following list.

==In the anime==
G-Max Moves were introduced in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''. In ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', {{an|Leon}} further explained how [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon have their own signature G-Max Moves, as opposed to just regular [[Max Move]]s.

Hadron Engine (Ability)

2023-10-26T03:08:30Z

FireLordSSBU:

{{AbilityInfobox/header
|name=Hadron Engine
|jpname=ハドロンエンジン
|jptrans=Hadron Engine
|jptranslit=Hadoron Enjin
|colorscheme=Violet
|gen=IX
}}
{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|Turns the ground into Electric Terrain when the Pokémon enters a battle. The futuristic engine within the Pokémon also boosts its Sp. Atk stat on Electric Terrain.}}
|}
'''{{Wp|Hadron}} Engine''' (Japanese: '''ハドロンエンジン''' ''Hadron Engine'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Miraidon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|Check for other moves/Abilities that can or cannot copy/replace/suppress this Ability. Usual suspects: {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, {{m|Doodle}}, {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Receiver}}/{{a|Power of Alchemy}}, {{a|Lingering Aroma}}/{{a|Mummy}}.}}
Hadron Engine creates the effect of the move {{m|Electric Terrain}} on the battlefield as soon as a Pokémon with Hadron Engine enters the battle. The Electric Terrain lasts for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a [[Terrain Extender]].

Hadron Engine also boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat by roughly 33% (or more precisely, by a factor of 5461/4096) on Electric Terrain. This boost will occur even if the Pokémon is not [[grounded]].

Hadron Engine displays a message when the Pokémon enters the battle, even if there already is an Electric Terrain. However, if Electric Terrain is summoned while a Pokémon with Hadron Engine already is in battle, no message is displayed (contrary to [[Quark Drive]]).

{{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Hadron Engine.

===Outside of battle===
Hadron Engine has no effect outside of battle.

==In the anime==
[[File:Larry anime.png|thumb|250px|Treasure Eatery in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Medali briefly appeared in a flashback in [[HZ018]], where a younger [[Friede]] was seen meeting his former teacher, [[Lucca]], at the Treasure Eatery.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Due to the Battle Court being placed in the Treasure Eatery instead of outside, if [[Nemona]] challenges the [[player character]] in Medali, the battle will take place in front of the Gym building instead.
* A poster containing silhouettes of {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} can be seen outside of the Treasure Eatery, hinting at [[The Teal Mask]] expansion of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Once the [[Player character|player]] has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s, a man in Medali will collect rest of the coins for the player. Once the player has less than 999 coins again, the collected amount can be received from the man.

Talk:Generation IV

2023-10-17T23:01:00Z

FireLordSSBU: /* Do not move this page */ new section

Okay, at the very least this page needs to be revamped. Right now, all of the information on the page can be found on the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]] page. Following the precedent set by the pages for Generations [[Generation II|II]] and [[Generation III|III]], this page should include sections on "Advances in Gameplay", "Shinō Starters", "Gym Leaders", and "Other Generation IV games". Hovever, the list of new Pokémon should be removed, especially since it can be found, with annotation, on the Diamond/Pearl page. Also, the information on Shinō should be moved to a new, more complete introduction. Does anyone agree with me? [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 23:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I think we can take for granted that this page should look like the [[Generation II|II]] and [[Generation III|III]] pages. A new page for the complete list of the Generation IV Pokemon should be created once the games are out; for now I suggest that this list remains in the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]] page since it's more frequently visited than this one. --[[User:Arty2|Arty2]] 00:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

==New Developments==
Should some reference be made to the article in Coro Coro about the new game coming out this year? [[User:Kochdude388|Kochdude388]] 23:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:Certainly. As soon as it's announced what exactly the new game is, GSDS, DPv3, or something else completely. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

==Generation IV with Generation II?==
I just can't understand how Generation I is contemporary with Generation III or how Gens II and IV are contemporary with each other. All I'm seeing is "Generation X is comtemporary with Generation Z" or that "Gen X seems to be contemporary with Gen Z", but where has that been proved?... I'm not saying that's not true, I'm just saying I find that puzzling and interesting. [[User:Sipulichu|Sipulichu]] 00:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
:Hoenn and Kanto take place at the same time is a weak bet, but it's mostly because you don't need a time machine to trade between the games. Therefore, they must trade at the same time. Gen 2 and 4 are contemporary because of: A. the Red Gyarados report at the start of DP (which must happen before Gold/Crystal captures/defeats the Gyarados), B. References to Elm's RECENT report on eggs, and there are more, but those are two of the big ones. Persumably, it takes 3 years or so for Pokémon to reach Sinnoh (Assuming by land, on foot) from Hoenn or Kanto.{{unsigned|Aura-Knight}}

::At the beginning of RBY, you have a Nes/Snes. At the beginning of RSE, you have a Gamecube. That's pretty odd, because the NES and Gamecube were released more than 10 years apart, how could they take place at the same time? The time machine doesn't necessarily indicate that RSE takes place at the same time as RBY, because since the data for pokemon was available in both FRLG and RSE, then you could freely exchange pokemon and wouldn't need an excuse to only transfer certain pokemon {{unsigned|Edge578}}
:::Remembering of course that the GameCube wasn't invented at the time of RBY, how could they have it in that game? The whole thing is based on a series of hunches, which is explained above. I don't see why it needs to be discussed further. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 20:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

::::As you said before, they couldn't allow GSC pokemon into RBY because they weren't programmed into the game. In RSE, they programmed all 386 pokemon into the game, so using a Time Machine Feature isn't necessary. This does not indicate the chronology of the games.--[[User:Edge578|Edge578]] 23:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

:::::Don’t insert your comments in between other people’s that way without use the indents to make it clear who is replying to whom. Um. I guess you could technically be right, but considering that Bill invents a Time Machine in ''G''/''S''/''C'' and calls it such, don’t you think he or Celio would have said something if the Network Machine transported Pokémon through time as well as to distant lands? --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 14:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, to be fair, Trom, it’s still a NES in ''FR''/''LG''. Which probably just means that it’s a hand-me-down system from the player’s mother/father/cousin/whatever, or Red/Leaf just really loves retro games.

::The red Gyarados report at the beginning of DPP had a lake with a picture of Mount Coronet in the background. Wouldn't that mean that the Red Gyarados was found in Sinnoh? Plus, the Red Gyarados could just be a shiny Gyarados. It's not necessarily the one that you fought in GSC. The Time Machine in GSC was just a way so you could import your RBY pokemon into GSC. There was no point in making Time Machines in later games, because every pokemon was programmed into each game. I'm sure in HGSS you will be able to import any pokemon you want from FRLG. They probably ditched the whole Time Machine idea because it wasn't necessary. The Egg report is the only '''solid''' piece of evidence that Gen II and Gen IV take place at the same time, at that wasn't confirmed yet. I just don't think it's fair to assume the chronological order of the games when the only evidence we have is minor details.--[[User:Edge578|Edge578]] 01:20, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[[User:Delta-v|Delta-v]]
Don't go taking things out of the article just yet. The main reason for the RSEFRLG timeline being one and the same is the inter-region trading with the remake games. With the announcement of HGSS, things are looking in the same direction for Generation IV. On top of the hints (not definite proof, but hints), all the evidence points to the games having the same, or a similar, timeframe. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:I'd consider the fact that there's a danged NEWS BULLETIN at the start of DP reflecting the fact that the Red Gyarados is at the very least a ''recent'' event being the ultimate proof. You don't see news companies reporting on stuff six years later, do you? Gen I and III I'll give you a "maybe" on, even though due to FRLG it proves at least ''part'' is contemporaneous, but Gen IV is the one most definitely contemporary to Gen II.

::Well they didn’t actually find the thing, and there is no reason to assume this was AFTER Gold/Kris battled it at the Lake of Rage, since characters in ''G''/''S''/''C'' seemed to know about it before that.

==Kanto?==
recently I have been looking at some of the Kanto cities, routes and locations and many (if not all) of the pages seem to reference them as being part of generation IV? Is this just because of Pal Park possible data because that seems to hardly count as being a part of generation IV...

:Remake. Was all of Gen I Kanto accessible in FRLG? Find a place from RGBY that didn't appear in FRLG.

== Legendaries ==

Assuming that all rumors assumed true, then if one has gone to every nintendo event then with HGSS, (And Dongle) the only need for pal park would be the Kanto and Hoenn Starters, as every pokemon, minus the starters and legionaries of previous gens would be obtainable through some method in HGSS and Platinum. I'll run through them:

*Kanto Trio: Roaming in platinum
*Mewtwo: assumed to be in HGSS
*Mew: My Pokemon ranch
*Johto Legionaries: in HGSS (Amusing Celebi event)
*Weather Trio: In HGSS
*Eon Pokemon: HGSS
*Jirachi, Deoxys: Were done by events, Jirachi recently, Deoxys last year.
*Regis: Event Regigigas

They're outsourcing GBA games.

Generation IV is mainly about Diamond and Pearl. Those are the games that launched it. The infobox colors are also in the DP color scheme. I realize that everyone likes HGSS better but those games don't deserve to be the representation of Gen IV over Diamond and Pearl. Gold and Silver had their time in Generation II. Let Diamond and Pearl have theirs. Look at Generation III's article. Ruby is the head image. Not LeafGreen.

== Who calls it '3D Generation'? ==

To be honest, I find that term very inaccurate... Despite the fact that 3D graphics are attempted for the first time in Generation IV, neither DPPt nor HGSS are characterized by that. In fact, camera and movement-wise the games don't show their '3D convertion' that much. Furthermore, the fact that the battles are completely in 2D with no effects in that (in contrast to BW) whatsoever, makes it even harder to think of this generation as the '3D Generation'.

Out of all possible names, 'Touch Generation', 'Dual Generation', why '3D'? Isn't the point of naming Generations sticking them a name fans actually use, or at least one that fits? Ideally, I don't think there should be a "fan name" for Generation IV (or V, for all it matters), but at this point, I would say that 'Dual' is the most accurate out of the three (considering not even the Touchscreen was used that much besides in menus, until PokéAthlon); funny thing, 'Dual' was actually used for a while, back when people actually called the generations by fan-coined terms instead of numbers. But it just didn't stick in the end.

Is the named stuck for good, or is there hope for changing it? -[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash_Pokemaster]] 07:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this page should be moved, as everyone will have to search up "Fourth Generation" instead of the "Generation IV" that everyone is used to. Additionally, Gen 4 has become more popular since Legends: Arceus was released, making this change even worse. Also, moving this page means having to move EVERY OTHER GENERATION to a new page to match this one (that means 8 more pages), which is not only tedious, but also a waste of time. This page should not be moved.

'''Damon''' (Japanese: '''ドレッド・グランギル''' ''Dred Grangil'') is the main antagonist of [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']]. He is the son of [[Juanita]] and the older brother of [[Carlita]].

He is a descendant of the People of the Vale and wishes to restore [[Kingdom of the Vale|his people's kingdom]] to its former glory. To this end, he has gathered allies among other modern-day People of the Vale and is in pursuit of {{p|Victini}}, hoping to use it to reactivate the [[Sword of the Vale]], the ancient castle at the center of [[Eindoak Town]].

Depending upon the version of the film being viewed, aspects about Damon change. In ''Victini and Zekrom'', he owns a {{p|Reuniclus}}, while in ''Victini and Reshiram'', he has a {{p|Gothitelle}}. This mirrors the games, in which Reuniclus, along with its evolutionary relatives, are only available in Pokémon White Version, while Gothitelle, along with its evolutionary relatives, are only available in Pokémon Black Version.

==In the movies==
Three years prior to the events of the movies, Damon traveled from [[Eindoak Town]] to communities of other descendants of the People of the Vale, hoping to garner support for his goal to revive the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]; he was soundly rejected at every turn. This dream had been instilled in Damon at an early age when he traveled to the ruined site of the Kingdom of the Vale with his mother [[Juanita]], where she voiced her own desire for the idea of repopulating the area.

Sometime after that, Damon managed to convince the mayor of Eindoak Town, [[Mannes]], to support his plans. The two of them were hiking in the caves beneath the Sword of the Vale when, inexplicably, Damon found himself on a path Mannes could not follow. Continuing on alone, Damon discovered the [[Dragon Stones|Dragon Stone]] containing either {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}} or {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}, and after revealing his goals to the dragon, became its ally. With the power of Reshiram or Zekrom on his side, Damon went back to the communities he'd visited before, and now was able to gain the support of the people in those towns.
[[File:Younger Damon.png|thumb|220px|left|Younger Damon with his mother]]
After returning to Eindoak Town, Damon met up with Mannes again, as well as Juanita, his younger sister [[Carlita]], and {{Ash}} as well as {{ashfr}}. In a private meeting with his family and the town's mayor, Damon revealed his plans—borrow the power of {{OBP|Victini|M14}} and use it to pilot the Sword of the Vale back to the Kingdom of the Vale, where the rebuilding of the ancient kingdom will become possible.

Later, Damon dons new clothing and begins to awaken the castle using his {{p|Sigilyph}}, activating the Protecting Pillars surrounding it. With Sigilyph's power, he contracts the barrier of the Protecting Pillars to force Victini into the castle, then traps it in a device that funnels its power into the Sword of the Vale itself. The castle begins to ascend, all according to Damon's plans, but he is soon confronted by Ash, Iris, Cilan, Juanita and Carlita, who all see the torture and pain he is inflicting on Victini. Even Juanita is horrified - stunning Damon - and sends out her {{p|Golurk}} to make a desperate bid to stop Reshiram or Zekrom, but fails. Everyone else, meanwhile, is held in check by Damon's {{p|Reuniclus}} or {{p|Gothitelle}}.
[[File:Damon civilian outfit.png|thumb|220px|Damon in his civilian outfit]]
After seeing a vision of the [[King of the People of the Vale]] warning Victini to never let the castle be moved again, lest the destructive "[[Dragon Force]]" it plugs be unleashed again - exactly what is happening outside of the view of Damon and his dragon - Ash manages to discover and ally himself with the opposing dragon. The two fight each other viciously until Ash's dragon begins to gain the upper hand, at which point they both fly beneath the clouds and discover the chaos Damon's actions have begun causing. The released Dragon Force energy is destroying the everything in sight.

At this point Ash manages to stop Reuniclus or Gothitelle, but cannot break through the machine to reach Victini. Damon's dragon soon arrives and destroys the machine, freeing Victini, then both Reshiram and Zekrom blow away the clouds so Damon can see the consequences of his actions. Remorseful and desperate, Damon asks the dragons to help him stop the damage, so they begin directing the Dragon Force back up into the Sword of the Vale itself. While Carlita and Iris evacuate on her {{p|Hydreigon}} and Cilan and Juanita board Mannes's helicopter, Ash refuses to leave unless Victini can be freed, and Damon intends to stay until the damage is repaired.

The castle, however, begins to go into overdrive and launch higher into the atmosphere. At the chaotic speed the castle is flying, Damon is thrown off the side of a balcony, though he is saved just in time by Juanita's Golurk and returns to try to rescue Ash. He is powerless until Victini uses {{m|V-create}} to destroy the Protecting Pillars once and for all, at which point he reenters the castle and manages to give Ash a blanket.

After the castle is guided back down and landed at the point where the chaotic Dragon Force was flowing from, Damon collapses, overwhelmed with guilt for his actions. He is reprimanded by Juanita, who tells him that they have a lot of work to do if they are to rebuild the Kingdom of the Vale, and Damon cheers up. He is last seen with his family and others beginning the work of rebuilding in the new location of the castle.

===Character===
Damon fights passionately for his beliefs, even when others tell him to give up. This desire allows him to command Reshiram and Zekrom, as he seeks the true path to restore his people's kingdom (which resonates with Reshiram) and he has a strong commitment to his ideals (which resonates with Zekrom).

However, the strength of Damon's beliefs also make him dangerously obsessive and single-minded in the pursuit of his goals, to the point of attacking his own mother when she turns against him. Despite this, he never allows his noble intentions to be clouded by selfishness or a lust for power - most of his "evil" actions are due to him being blinded by his obsession to restore the Kingdom of the Vale. If Damon discovers the negative consequences of his actions (as he does in the movies' climax), he becomes intensely apologetic and acts with equal desperation to undo what he has done.

(Japanese: '''ビット''' ''Bit'') is a {{p|Cinderace}} that [[Casey Shield]] owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and her sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall. He is level 35.

==History==
[[File:Casey and Bit.png|thumb|left|150px|Bit and Casey]]
Bit debuted in ''[[PASS01|Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon]]'' as a Scorbunny. He was first seen watching {{Henry}} do maintenance on [[Lancelot]]'s leek. [[PASS02|Later]] that day, he was used in a mock [[Max Raid Battle]] to help teach [[Marvin]] about battling.

In ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]'', [[Professor Magnolia]] accidentally ran over a group of {{p|Drednaw}}, angering them. Scorbunny helped fend off the Bite Pokémon, using his speed to dodge their attacks and giving one a {{status|burn}}. The weakened Drednaw tripped over its ally, causing it to crash into Scorbunny, resulting in a double knockout.

In ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s tried to destroy the uniforms Casey and Henry received for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Henry and Casey knocked the Grunts into a nearby [[Pokémon Den]], forcing them to work together in a Max Raid Battle with a wild {{p|Gurdurr}}. Scorbunny used his flames to heat Gurdurr's steel beam, leaving it too hot to hold. Lancelot defeated the defenseless Gurdurr, allowing Henry to catch it.

In ''[[PASS07|Blinding!! The End of the Battle]]'', Scorbunny was used in Casey's [[Gym]] battle against [[Milo]], where he emerged victorious after a close match.

In ''[[PASS09|Splish Splash!! Gigantamax Battle]]'', Casey was revealed to have won her second Gym battle against [[Nessa]]. Due to Scorbunny [[evolution|evolving]] into Raboot and Nessa's {{p|Toxapex}} and Drednaw being worn out from their earlier battle with Henry, Raboot was able to win despite the large disadvantage.
[[File:Casey Raboot Sordward and Shielbert battle.png|thumb|120px|left|Bit attacking Sordward and Shielbert's Pokémon]]
In ''[[PASS11|Gulp Gulp!! Pokémon]],'' Casey was approached by [[Hop]], who reported he may have found Casey's missing {{p|Arrokuda}}, Kilo. They rushed to find Kilo, only to find him being swallowed by a wild {{p|Cramorant}}. With help from Hop's {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Pincurchin}}, Casey and Raboot freed Kilo and reunited him with his Trainer.

In ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]'', Raboot was one of the three Pokémon Casey brought to use in her Gym battle against [[Allister]], where he ended up being defeated.

In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', Raboot was used in Casey's Gym battle against [[Opal]], where he ended up being defeated.

In ''[[PASS19|Crunch!! Snowy Battle]]'', Casey mistakenly believed [[Gordie]] was attacking Henry and Marvin and rushed to defend them. She had Raboot, Twiggy, and Sniffler use a combination attack to defeat Gordie's {{p|Stonjourner}}. They apologized afterward after realizing that Gordie meant no harm.

In [[PASS23]], the group was attacked by [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], the thieves who stole Casey's Pokémon. Raboot attacked Sordward's {{p|Golisopod}} and Shielbert's {{p|Bronzong}} with a {{m|Flame Charge}}, destroying the communication devices attached to them. This allowed the group to discover where the brothers were hiding.

In [[PASS31]], Casey decided that with her team fully reunited, she would give Raboot the nickname Bit. He was then used to battle [[Klara]]'s {{p|Venipede}}, easily defeating it with a single Flame Charge.

In [[PASS34]], while Henry was training {{TP|Mustard|Kubfu}}, it got overwhelmed by a group of wild {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}}. Bit, alongside Twiggy and Sniffler, protected it from the Greedy Pokémon. All three evolved during the fight.

==Personality and characteristics==
As a Scorbunny, Bit was generally seen smiling and upbeat. After evolving, he retained his friendliness, though became reserved in his expressions. He tends to get more serious during battles, often lighting the pads of his feet on fire as a Scorbunny. Bit is able to sense when his friends are in trouble, shown when he ran off to help [[Sniffler]] during its fight.

'''Vikavolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クワガノン''' ''Kuwagannon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charjabug}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Grubbin}}.

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

==Biology==
Vikavolt is a beetle-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large pair of mandibles. Its small orange face has robotic, yellow eyes and is covered by a blue carapace. The mandibles extend from this helmet. They are blue on the inner surface and yellow on the outer surface. At the base of each mandible is a large spike and the inside is lined with short spikes. Its body is black and divided into three sections by yellow rings. The last two sections have a yellow spot on each side. On its back is a pair of wide, flat wings that are transparent with blue {{wp|elytra}}. It has four legs; the front pair of legs has two claws, while the back pair has only one.

Vikavolt produces electricity with an organ in its abdomen and controls it with its huge jaws to fire powerful electric beams. When it clasps a {{p|Charjabug}} in its legs, it is able to utilize it as an extra battery. This allows it to continue firing powerful attacks. However, during fierce aerial fights, it will release Charjabug to make itself lighter and more mobile. It is an adept flier, capable of acrobatic maneuvers such as tailspins and sharp turns. Even as it weaves through complicated tangles of branches in the forest, it is able to maintain high-speed flight.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/vikavolt/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Vikavolt]</ref> It is known to have a rivalry with {{p|Pinsir}} and {{p|Heracross}}. As shown in [[SM119|the anime]], it likes to drink {{wp|Sap|tree sap}}.

===Evolution===
Vikavolt evolves from {{p|Charjabug}} and is the final form of {{p|Grubbin}}.

==Trivia==
* Vikavolt shares its category with {{p|Pinsir}}. They are both known as the Stag Beetle Pokémon.
* Vikavolt has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Vikavolt, along with its pre-evolved forms, were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Vikavolt, despite being the final evolution of Grubbin, has a lower Speed stat than its unevolved form.

===Origin===
Vikavolt appears to be based on a {{wp|stag beetle}} and a {{wp|railgun}}. Its straight, scissor-like {{wp|Mandible (insect mouthpart)|mandibles}} resemble those of ''Lucanus hayashii'' and some ''{{wp|Cyclommatus}}'' species of beetles.

====Name origin====
Vikavolt may come from ''vise grip'' and ''{{wp|volt}}''.

Kuwagannon may be a combination of 鍬形虫 ''kuwagatamushi'' (stag beetle) and ''cannon''.

'''Zapdos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンダー''' ''Thunder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

In [[Galar]], Zapdos has a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} [[regional form]], introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Zapdos is a large, {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly yellow plumage. It has small, triangular eyes with black around them and a long, thin, light orange beak. Its wings and tail are a mass of spiky feathers and there are black feathers covering the back of its wings and inner tail feathers. A large crest of spiked feathers surrounds its head. Its thighs are tan, and it has thin, light orange legs. It has feet with three forward-facing toes and one backward-facing toe; each toe has a short talon.

When Zapdos flaps its glittering wings, it releases electricity that can potentially cause thunderstorms. It produces massive crackling and snapping sounds when it flies; these are attributed to the lightning bolts it sheds when airborne. Zapdos reportedly appears only during thunderstorms and gains power when struck by lightning. It is said to live among thunderclouds, but it is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}}.

===Forms===
Zapdos has one [[regional form]]: Galarian Zapdos.
[[File:145Zapdos-Galar 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Galarian Zapdos about to deliver a powerful kick]]
In [[Galar]], Zapdos has a different appearance. Its body is red-orange with black plumage. Its head features yellow eyes with more pronounced, mask-like black coloration around them, a shorter black beak, and a longer, more visible neck. Its legs are black, longer, and more muscular, its thigh feathers are also black, and its talons are yellow with red rings at their bases. Its red-orange wings are smaller, with small black markings that appear to be remnants of its Kantonian counterpart's black plumage. Finally, it has a row of spiky feathers along its chest, and a similar row of black feathers on its back.

Belligerent by nature and ever thirsting for battle, {{rf|Galarian}} Zapdos seeks out opponents stronger than itself so it could test its might. Its powerful legs allow it to perform devastating kicks capable of destroying a dump truck, and it can run across mountains at up to 180 mph (300 km/h). Its wings have atrophied to the point that it can barely fly, but its movements are so swift that they have been compared to a lightning strike. This Pokémon earned the name of its Kantonian counterpart due to the electric-like crackling sounds that come from its feathers rubbing together. It is migratory and appears in the Crown Tundra once every few decades at [[Dyna Tree Hill]].<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-zapdos/ Galarian Zapdos | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Galarian Zapdos is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Thunderous Kick}}.

''Zapdos flaps its wings, and summer storms appear, throwing lightning every which way. It's said that you can hear this legendary Pokémon coming, as its wings make a very distinctive popping sound as it flies. In addition to electrical moves like the dreaded {{m|Thunder}}, it also wields a vicious move called {{m|Drill Peck}}.''

==Trivia==
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Electric Pokémon" is shared by {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, and Kantonian Zapdos.
** In Japanese, Elekid has the category でんきポケモン ''Denki Pokémon'' (Electric Pokémon), while the other two Pokémon share the category でんげきポケモン ''Dengeki Pokémon'' (Electric Shock Pokémon).
* Out of all the [[Legendary Pokémon]] with fixed in-game locations, Zapdos can be obtained with the fewest number of [[Badge]]s: two. The {{player}} can catch Zapdos with only the {{badge|Boulder}} and either the {{badge|Cascade}}{{sup/7|PE}} or the {{badge|Soul}}{{sup/1|RBY}}.
* Zapdos and {{p|Jolteon}}'s Japanese names are almost exactly the same as each other's, with a final {{j|～ス}} ''~s'' being the only difference.
* Kantonian Zapdos possesses a type advantage over all of the other members of [[Legendary birds|its trio]], as well as its [[trio master]] {{p|Lugia}}.
** This is reversed for the trio's [[regional form]]s, with Galarian Zapdos possessing a type disadvantage against the other members and Lugia.
* In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike is decorated to resemble a Zapdos.
* Zapdos's [[cry]] in [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]] is the same as {{p|Lunala}}'s, as seen in ''[[JN040|A Crackling Raid Battle!]]''.
* Zapdos and the other two Legendary birds had Australian beetle species named after them: ''Binburrum articuno'', ''Binburrum zapdos'', and ''Binburrum moltres''. The three species were first described in 2020, and were collectively named after the Legendary birds to reflect their rarity.<ref>[https://twitter.com/YHsiaoBeetle/status/1345310387059625985 Tweet by Yun Hsiao (@YHsiaoBeetle)], posted Jan 2, 2021</ref><ref>Hsiao, Y. & Pollock, D. A. (2020). ''[https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-entomologist/article/abs/contribution-to-the-knowledge-of-the-endemic-australian-genus-binburrum-pollock-1995-coleoptera-pyrochroidae-pilipalpinae-with-description-of-three-new-species/D9782DFAEEF63A38915484E7CD532F46 Contribution to the knowledge of the endemic Australian genus Binburrum Pollock, 1995 (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae: Pilipalpinae), with description of three new species].'' The Canadian Entomologist. 153 (2): 244–256.</ref>

===Origin===
Zapdos seems to be based on the {{wp|Native Americans in the United States|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}, a spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain that took the form of a giant {{wp|bird}}. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lightning bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. Aesthetically, it may be based on {{wp|hummingbird}}s, due to the long beak, the rather simple wings, and described violent behavior.

Galarian Zapdos appears to be based on {{wp|ratite}}s, with {{wp|Kiwi (bird)|kiwis}} in particular matching its brown feathers and long beak. Due to its speed, it may also be based on a {{wp|roadrunner}}. Its powerful kicks might also draw influence from the {{wp|secretarybird}}, a mostly terrestrial bird that hunts by stomping and kicking its prey. Its legs could also be derived from the {{wp|English Pouter}}, a pigeon breed known for such. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is similar to Kantonian Zapdos's regular coloration.

====Name origin====
Zapdos may be a combination of ''zap'' and ''dos'' (Spanish for two, indicating that it is the second in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Thunder is literally ''thunder''.

Talk:Trace (Ability)

FireLordSSBU: /* Same names */ new section

==Twice?==
Are Status moves also performed twice? - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 23:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
:Did you mean to ask this on [[Talk:Parental Bond (Ability)]]? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 00:01, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Oh man... Yes, I whyever hit the wrong Discussion Page. :D - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 03:28, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

==Target?==
Although the Trace page says Trace (in Generation VI) affects the left-most Pokémon and shifts right as they faint, in my experience it is either completely random or a different method entirely. Moments ago I used Trace to find a Hidden Ability Nidoran, catching the far left one, which ended up having a different ability than what Trace claimed - Trace does not specifically target the leftmost Pokémon. [[User:Timmeh7o7|Timmeh7o7]] ([[User talk:Timmeh7o7|talk]]) 21:37, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

:I had the same experience trying to get a Steadfast Scyther. Apparently Trace works differently than stated on this page. I have no clue as to the right mechanics, though.[[User:Thomasdenhaan|Thomasdenhaan]] ([[User talk:Thomasdenhaan|talk]]) 18:47, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

== Untraceable Abilities ==

So I was Max Raiding a Galarian Darumaka just now, when I noticed that my Trace Gardevoir didn't trace its Ability, which can '''only''' be Inner Focus. Curious, I searched this page and noticed, that while Inner Focus isn't in the list on untraceable Abilities, its evolved form's Zen Mode is. Which led me to believe that you can't trace any Ability, if it's the same slot as evolved form's untraceable Ability. In case of Darumaka, I suspect it's Inner Focus is actually a Hidden Ability slot, which means it technically is a "Zen Mode Inner Focus", so to say. So if an Ability is programmed to turn into an untraceable Ability, it cannot be copied even if it's allowed in other instances. I will evolve this Darumaka and check if its Ability is indeed Zen Mode. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 03:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
:Okay, it indeed has Zen Mode. Which means Trace will not copy an Ability if it's the same slot as an evo's untraceable Ability, even if the original Ability would be still allowed otherwise. So if this Darumaka was programmed to have Gorilla Tactics (allowed Ability) after evolution, its Inner Focus would have been traced, but since it's Zen Mode, it wasn't. Can someone please confirm this in their game? Also to check whether it was the case before Gen VIII... [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 03:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

== Protosynthesis cannot be Traced ==

Was just EV training a Gardevoir with [[Scream Tail]]s, and it appears as though Trace does not seem to work on [[Protosynthesis]]. Even if Protosynthesis activated (whether from a held [[Booster Energy]] or my Gardevoir using [[Sunny Day]]), Gardevoir would not Trace the ability. Presumably, the same also applies to [[Quark Drive]], though I do not have a Trace Gardevoir handy on my Violet save file to check.

'''Roaring Moon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トドロクツキ''' ''Todorokutsuki'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Dark}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Salamence}}.

==Biology==
Roaring Moon is a quadrupedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a red underside with four yellow markings. There are red markings on the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its hind legs. Additionally, there are raised white ridges above its eyes. Jagged, light blue spikes protrude from either side of its head. Its mouth features sharp teeth, with a pair of three teeth on the upper jaw and a pair of single teeth in the lower. Each of its legs has three, long claws, with its front legs being longer and bulkier, and sporting three protruding scales close to the knees. On its back rests very large red wings that begin with a three-pronged yellow pattern on both sides, that then curl upward into a crescent moon-like shape which apparently gives the Pokémon its name, with blue-tipped feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside.

According to an article from an April issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, Roaring Moon is named after a similarly described being in the [[Scarlet Book]]. It looks similar to {{p|Salamence}} when they undergo [[Mega Evolution]], but it's unclear if there is any connection. It's said that Roaring Moon scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence and that it should be avoided at all costs.

==Trivia==
* Roaring Moon and {{p|Iron Valiant}} can be considered counterparts of one another.
** They share a [[Base stats|base stat]] total of 590 instead of the 570 found in most other non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} Paradox Pokémon.
** Both are separated from the other non-Legendary Paradox Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] numbering.
** Both are not covered in any editions of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} entrance hall, with the editions covering them being found in the lab on [[Poco Path]] instead.
** They are both the final and highest-[[level]]ed Pokémon used by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} in their first {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as the only Pokémon on their team with the held item [[Booster Energy]].

===Origin===
Roaring Moon is based on {{p|Salamence}}, specifically its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form. By extension, it also appears to be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s. Its feathers are similar to those of {{wp|feathered dinosaur}}s. The shape of its wings resembles a {{wp|crescent moon}}.

====Name origin====
Roaring Moon is literally ''roaring moon''.

Todorokutsuki can be taken literally as 轟く月 ''todoroku tsuki'' (roaring moon).

'''Roaring Moon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トドロクツキ''' ''Todorokutsuki'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Dark}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be an ancient relative of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Salamence}}.

==Biology==
Roaring Moon is a quadrupedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a red underside with four yellow markings. There are red markings on the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its hind legs. Additionally, there are raised white ridges above its eyes. Jagged, light blue spikes protrude from either side of its head. Its mouth features sharp teeth, with a pair of three teeth on the upper jaw and a pair of single teeth in the lower. Each of its legs has three, long claws, with its front legs being longer and bulkier, and sporting three protruding scales close to the knees. On its back rests very large red wings that begin with a three-pronged yellow pattern on both sides, that then curl upward into a crescent moon-like shape which apparently gives the Pokémon its name, with blue-tipped feather-like protrusions on the ends. Below its wings is a jagged cape-like structure with a black underside.

According to an article from an April issue of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine, Roaring Moon is named after a similarly described being in the [[Scarlet Book]]. It looks similar to {{p|Salamence}} when they undergo [[Mega Evolution]], but it's unclear if there is any connection. It's said that Roaring Moon scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence and that it should be avoided at all costs.

Talk:Trio master

2023-07-03T06:39:05Z

FireLordSSBU: /* Suggested merge */

Don't you think this is overdoing it a bit? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 17:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. This reads a bit more like fanfiction/fan terminology than anything. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 17:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Eh, I figured it needed to have a name. After all, there is a definite relationship between the birds and Lugia, the beasts and Ho-oh, and the Regis and Regigigas.

Think it should just be a subpage of [[Legendary trio]]? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 20:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Forget a subpage, just merge it into the main trio article as a section. That article is short anyway. --WikidSmaht 09:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

So, uh, when's something going to be done about this silly article? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 01:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

Isn't Arceus the master of Trio masters?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
:All we know is it's the master of the lake trio. Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Regigigas... well, they actually seem to be overlords of sky, sea, and land. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

i thought Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were the overlords of the land, sea, and sky. I kind of pictured Ho-Oh and Lugia as guardians. and i'm not even sure what to think of Regigigas as of yet. [[User:InuMimi|InuMimi]] 12:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Remember that while Kyogre expanded the seas, Groudon expanded the continents, and Rayquaza brought neutral ground (and not ground as in Groudon, but you get what I mean) with the sky, they are very much beings of these domains, and have never been shown to watch over the effects of the domains they represent. Rayquaza may keep the balance between Kyogre and Groudon, but it seems to simply be a leader of the Sky World, rather than its Guardian. The Hebrew mythological/legendary/Biblical creatures known as Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz are seen as the Great Beasts of the Earth, Sea, and Sky (respectively), but not as the Guardians of these domains. They simply are the Greatest of the inhabitants of these domains. I'm not saying that Pokémon has to adhere to the stories that its Legendaries are based on, but they do provide a hint. Now, granted, Kyogre and Groudon's information in the version they do not appear in is important in that is states that Kyogre brought the relief of rain to those caught in drought, and Groudon brought and end to the monsoon-like rains that tormented various regions. But these are born from aspects of their nature - the ability to expand the seas or earth with Drizzle and Drought respectively. This would seem to state that Kyogre is actually the guardian of the Earth - as it brought balance back to regions suffering drought, the negative aspects of Groudon - and that Groudon is the guardian of the Seas, for precisely the equal and opposite reasons. Of course, they are not the guardians of each others' domains, though they do keep each other in check somewhat, when they're not sleeping, that is. And when they are both awake - well it seemed that they actually didn't want to fight each other in the games at least, and that it was the Orbs that drove them out of control. The citizens of Sootopolis in Emerald state that the two look like they actually don't want to be fighting each other, as if they are being forced to by the Red and Blue Orbs (which may or may not be man-made). And Rayquaza has been seen to keep them in check when this does happen (though somehow Lance and Ash and co. were able to stop them without Rayquaza in the anime). But even Rayquaza has been seen as very defensive of its area - in Movie 7 it attacked Deoxys on sight simply because Deoxys entered it's domain. That's more like an attack dog than a guardian trying to keep the balance of the skies.

Lugia has shown multiple times that if it existed in the sky, it would cause catastrophic events that could effect the entire world, but by maintaining its powers beneath the sea it is able to keep the balance of the world's water, and therefore the source of life (as seen in a traditional Buddhist sense, as well as in, say, Movies 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9). Ho-oh has been seen as the maker of Rainbows and the being that ends the storms that could cause pain and suffering to the world, so it is the guardian of the Sky World. Ironically, the Legendary Birds and their actions affect the sea and are governed by Lugia, while the Legendary beasts are governed by Ho-oh.

The Regi trio seem to have been made by Man, the class of beings often associated with the Earth, as bone and muscle and flesh are very Earthy substances. But Regigigas has been known as the being that pulled the Continents together by towing them with ropes, and it is also seen in Movie 11 as providing its phenomenal strength and its mastery over the great beasts that walk the Earth (here being Mammoswine) to prevent catastrophes such as that of the Glacidia glacier moving and causing much devastation across the Earth. Regigigas is perhaps the most Deus ex Machina a Pokémon movie character could get (though Kyogre in Movie 9 comes close), as he basically solves the final crisis of the movie, when Ash and co. couldn't. Regigigas' role of herding Megafauna is very Earth-based as well - see the Ground egg group, and it's role with Mammals (or HSOWA). Mammals almost define Earth and its denizens, though they certainly are not the only ones; but their association with humans and agriculture and also with the ancient Megafauna that dominated this world in the early Cenozoic are definitely indications that Regigigas is like a human of the ancient world, and how humans see themselves as the Stewards of Earth (or at least should...).

So my point here is that while Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent the elemental energies that empower the three domains of Earth, Sea, and Sky, respectively, it is Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh (again respectively) that are the stewards of these domains. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent a trio (though a statistically imbalanced trio as Rayquaza is stronger than the other two), but one without a Trio Master because they keep each other in-balance ability-wise (and if Kyogre has some possible connection with "the Beast of the Sea", than it may be that the Trio Masters each keep the Weather Trio member in their domain balanced as well, though that's getting more into speculation). Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh are Trio Masters because of their Pokédex and series lore about their roles, which connect them with both the Trios they control and their domains of Land, Sea, and Sky. The association with Lugia and the Moon and Ho-oh and the Sun - that's another story that has absolutely no basis save the opening screens of Silver and Gold versions.

Arceus has yet to have been shown as the Master of Trio Masters, as has he yet to have been shown as the Master of the Dragon Trio (though this will probably be revealed next summer with Movie 12). So until then, Arceus remains as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio, only. But having created the entire world and its planes, I would assume he could be considered the master of the Weather Trio, the Dragon Trio, as well as relegating the Beast Trio, Bird Trio, and Regi Trio to Ho-oh, Lugia, and Regigigas. That, however, is speculation for now. Thank you for your time. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 03:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

Isn't he the trio master of the dragons as well.We know for sure he created Dialga and Palkia (and he probably created Giratina to start the reverse world but that is just speculation) which is like how Ho-oh created the Beasts and Ho-oh is the beast master so Arceus should be noted as the Dragon Trio Master or as Master of Dialga and Palkia.
[[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 16:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

True, but if he's only the master of Dialga and Palkia, then he's not a Trio Master, just a Duo Master, so to speak.

:Please add your sig with the four tildes after you comment. Arceus is almost certainly the Trio Master of the Dragon Trio as well; however, his relationship with Giratina is still not yet confirmed, while it's been established that he either created Dialga and Palkia or else they are warring aspects of himself (sorry for using the masculine noun-forms). Until Movie 12 comes out, we probably won't have an answer to that, so for now, Arceus remains only as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio.

== Real History ==

I'm from Portugal and when they distributed Arceus for Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions they gave me a booklet telling the history. I quote:

''Arceus is regarded as the Pokémon God, the creator of the Pokémon universe''.

''This is a legendary Pokémon, Alpha species and normal type. ''Though, if it have some elemental plates it can be transformed in one of 17 types of Pokémon.'' This is its powerful multi-type ability.''

''The story goes that Arceus was born from an egg in chaos even before the outbreak of the cosmos.''

''Arceus began creating Pokémon to put everything in place. The first thing he did was to create Mew to take account of the universe, this one and Arceus are the Pokémon that accompanied the formation process of the cosmos.''

''Then he had to create Shaymin so that nature arise and to maintain balance. Arceus created Dialga, which in turn gave rise to time, and Palkia, which led to the space. Giratina created to control the death and, if necessary, act as mediator between Dialga and Palkia.''

''After that, it created Jirachi that put the stars on firmament. Once created light, thanks to Jirachi, immediatly Darkrai could be seen in Arceus' shadow. Arceus thought to give a mystic touch to the universe and created Cresselia, the first Pokémon with feelings. This created the moon and, thanks to the feelings, wanted some help and company, so it created the legendary trio formed by Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf and later the Clefairy. This legendary trio was later charged with providing living beings with feelings, like emotion, knowledge and will, basic features that represent each.
'''Welcome to the Pokémon Universe.'''''

That means Arceus created Mew, Shaymin, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Jirachi and Cresselia. Cresselia created Clefairy, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. Darkrai was created by Arceus' shadow.

For people who knows portuguese:

''Arceus é considerado como o Pokémon Deus, criador do universo Pokémon.''

''Trata-se de um Pokémon lendário, da especie Alpha e de tipo Normal. No entanto, se possuir algumas das elemental plates pode transformar-se num dos 17 tipos de Pokémon. esta é a sua poderosa capacidade multi-tipo.''

''Reza a história de que Arceus nasceu de um ovo imerso no caos ainda antes de eclodir o cosmos.''

''Arceus começou a criar Pokémon para colocar tudo no seu lugar. A primeira coisa que fez foi criar Mew para que tomassse conta do universo, pelo que este último e Arceus são os Pokémon que acompanharam o processo de formação do cosmos.''

''Depois teve de criar Shaymin para que a natureza surgisse e para manter o equilibrio. Arceus criou Dialga, que por sua vez deu origem ao tempo, e Palkia, que deu origem ao espaço. Criou Giratina para que controlasse a morte e, se necessário, agisse como mediador entre Dialga e Palkia.''

''Posteriormente criou Jirachi que colocou as estrelas no firmamento. Uma vez criada a luz, graças a Jirachi, imediatamente foi possível ver Darkrai na sombra de Arceus. Arceus pensou dar ao universo um toque místico pelo que criou Cresselia, o primeiro Pokémon com sentimentos. Este criou a lua e, graças aos seu sentimentos, desejou ter ajuda e companhia, pelo que criou o trio lendário formado por Uxie, Mesprit e Azelf e posteriormente os Clefairy, este trio lendário ficou encarregue de mais tarde dotar os seres vivos de sentimentos, como a emoção, a sabedoria e a vontade, cracterísticas básicas que representam cada um dele.''

Probably

the only possible explanation is that nintendo wanted to release this as a surprise goodie to stir things up along with the figures, so they cancelled it in all over world but forgot potugal, so its a company mistake, although that thing revealed alot such as creation of darkrai, one can see the two having some slight resemblance only by the shape of the head (somewhat), and thus arceus and darkrai are somewhat of a duo, somewhat, and some what of a trio if a crescelia is considered, and if so this is the first time that a trio master is part of a trio, but i'm still sceptical, didnt anybody else get such a booklet in portugal??? {{unsigned|Nobody777}}

Seems to me it's probably meant to be the trio master, consider: It's the "Boundary pokemon," probably meaning the one who maintains balance between Reshiram and Zekrom and apparently the game creators made it the one that could use {{m|Ice Burn|Cold Flare}} and {{m|Freeze Shock|Freeze Bolt}} (though apparently not officially), moves containing both types of the other two, they can't.

== Lake Trio ==
Is it possible Cresselia is the master of the Lake Trio? As stated above, in the Real History section, Cresselia did (possibly) create the trio, and as quoted from Cresselia's page, "Cresselia's three main colors (pink, yellow and blue) are the same as the main colors of the Lake guardians." It seems they also used the same shades of the above colors. In addition, they are all Psychic type. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo...

Since this new movie is featuring Kyurem and the musketeer Pokemon, is it possible that Kyurem is their master? Or is it to early to tell?

== duo+master=/=trio ==

Doesn't "trio" imply three equal parts?
For example I find it silly that it's the "weather trio" when 2 of them cause weather, and the stronger one neutralizes it (not to mention the dozen other ways Rayquaza is superior to them, including a more intelligent guardian-like role, instead of wreaking havoc). A weather-duo with an anti-weather-guardian would be the right direction. Same for the cloud demons. And the musketeers; if anything Cobalion is at least part of the trio, Keldeo the adoptee is the one whos place in it is in the air for now. But even then, Cobalion being their master, based on its vague role in the family, with nothing else that would make it stick out in any way (unlike Keldeo) is too much. They don't have a master, just a student. Also the word master feels so misleading (it's not like they own or control each other), but.. there is no fitting word for meaningless obvious connections between legendaries that I know of.

I also want to note that the pokemon fanbase is exaggerating the creation myths/legends part of legendary pokemon when it comes to this kind of speculation (which may be what GF were aiming for though XD). The only things that really presents these creatures as supernatural beings with godlike powers, are their myths. The facts are simply that pokemon exist, who are stronger than usual and have some neat abilities (affecting the weather, manipulating dimensions a bit). They don't even show any sign of near human-like intelligence, actually they can happen to get caught into pokeballs by strong trainers and battle for them like usual (unless one considered anime canon, but its kind of hard to take serious when they disregard lots of things from the games and make up just as much own crap as they go along). Think of it that way; in the old times, some people witnessed a legendary like Groudon or Arceus, saw water evaporating wherever it went/saw it call a bunch of Unowns to make an egg or two fall out of the sky, and as they passed the info on, it turned into myth starring Groudon as the landmass god or Arceus as the creator of the universe. Same for the rest. They didn't create anything, they're just very rare/gone/hidden and best at manipulating specific things.

:: Well alright, but what makes the difference between the Regis being a trio with master instead of being a quartet, if not that the three share more similarities between each other than with Regigigas? If the Regis aren't a quartet then Groudon and Kyogre are a duo with a master/guardian (as they have so many similarities while Rayquaza sticks out as superior on multiple levels, even design-wise), same for the Kami. Also at the moment we have no idea what will become of Kyurem and how it really relates to the other 2, but in the current state they're not a trio by that logic (even if Kyurem gets buffed up, itd be a Rayquaza situation in the end).--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 11:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

They all have something to do with weather (neutralizing weather still involves weather), have similar markings, their movesets are even slightly similar. I can see how the Regis and Regigigas could be a quartet, except that Regigigas came out in a different generation. I feel like that sets it farther apart from the other Regis than Rayquaza is from Groudon and Kyogre. Plus, I find that the reference to Regigigas creating the Regi trio also sets it apart. If it created them, shouldn't it be their master and not part of their group? Like Ho-oh and the Legendary Beasts. These are just my opinions, though.

== Meloetta the Kami Trio's Master ==

We've placed Landorus as the Kami Trio's in house Trio master...but wouldn't Meloetta also fit the bill since it controlled their transformation in the anime, and got them back under control after they went berserk.

I know its just in the anime, but we consider Lugia the bird trio's master and that was in a movie.

'''Evidence:''' Meloetta, like the Kami trio, also has a form change.

Meloetta is needed, at least in the anime, to help the Trio achieve their Therian Forme.

When all three went berserk, it was Meloetta who calmed them, and then changed them back to their Incarnate forme.

The evidence of Meloetta being the true Trio master is piling up. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 22:25, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

But the game doesn't have enough evidence to support that. Plus, they dont share similarities in origin. However, If you look at the base stats, Meloetta does have a base stat equivalent to landorus.

I really think this should be discussed. Meloetta, albeit in the anime only, is definitely fitting for the role. Also as I've mentioned, Lugia got its title from a movie which isn't much different than the anime. Meloetta is needed to call upon the trio to the ruins, transform them into their Therian forms, control them, calm them and turn them back to their Incarnate forms. It also (as pointed out by Nobody777) has the same stat total with other similarities such as gaining atk in their alternate forms.

:This will not be discused, because Trio Masters are dictated by the games' canon. Since it's established in the games that Landorus is the Trio Master, there is no discussion in that regard. In the case of Lugia, there's no mention wether if it is or not, hence, another continuity's canon had to be adopted, since its role in the movie was fitting that of a Master. If the games said otherwise, it would be removed of this list. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 09:55, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

== Suggested merge ==

This is a fan term for a phenomenon that's only loosely present in the games, and no explicit connection/comparison between trio masters has (to my knowledge) ever been made in canon, suggesting to me that there is not a pressing need for them to be grouped together in the mainspace. Furthermore, virtually every instance of the subject matter itself is pretty debatable:
* Lugia is a trio master only in the anime
* Ho-Oh is a trio master only in the games
* Rayquaza and Landorus (and Kyurem, if you subscribe to that theory, which is mentioned in Trivia but not in the main body of the page) are already members of their trios, making them not quite fit the pattern
* Regigigas and Arceus are said to have created the trios they're supposedly "trio master" of, but there's otherwise no indication they actually have any sway over them the way other trio masters are supposed to
* The Swords of Justice are properly a quartet, not a trio, and if we're going to single any of them out, it should really be Keldeo since it's the one that ''canon actually does single out as different from the others'' (but more importantly, the Swords canonically don't fit the trio-and-master dynamic to begin with, so they shouldn't be here at all even if the page continues to exist)
So yeah, basically, I don't believe there's any actual canonical justification for this to be a mainspace page.

== Other 'references' ==

I'm a little unsure about some of the things that appear in the {{DL|Trio master|other references to trio masters}} section. To me, some of them really don't seem like references at all, namely having to purify all of the Shadow Pokémon in Colosseum and having to befriend all 300 Pokémon in the Oblivia Browser in Guardian signs in order to encounter Ho-oh and Lugia, respectively. Yes, in each of these cases the befriending of a legendary trio is required to meet their master, but befriending the trio ''specifically'' is not. The three legendary birds are indeed needed to encounter Lugia in Guardian Signs, but so are 297 other Pokémon. That doesn't seem like much of a reference to me. It's not even like they're the only legendary trio that appear in the Oblivia Browser anyway. This also applies to the legendary golems in Shadows of Almia.

The information is however important, but the actual term is complete speculation. I'd suggest a page that describes the relationships between Legendary and Mythical Pokemon, Which would also include some extra information on Pokemon who AREN'T duos/trios such as the Tapu with Solgaleo/Lunala, who have lore with eachother but isn't mentioned very much on their own pages. The legendary titans aren't really a trio anymore either, but all the information relating to them is on their own page, making a "Trio Master" page for them completely redundant unless you want a page with quick summaries (which is what I'm suggesting). But even then it's a bit redundant knowing how there is a page for {{redlink|Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon}} also exists and has most of the information people are likely looking for.

== Rather than deleting this page, here's my take... ==

I think this page is necessary, and it already makes it clear that "trio master" is a fan term and not particularly elucidated by the games in every instance. While it can be argued Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Arceus being "trio masters" is fanon due to the fact that they only have very loose, very roundabout in-game associations with their respective trios, it is an established fact that Rayquaza is the master of the weather trio, Regigigas is the master of the titans, and Landorus is the master of the Forces of Nature. Each one of those either keeps the other members of its trio in check or created the members of its trio. Lugia on the other hand was only referenced in the game canon as tied to the legendary birds via Sea Spirit's Den, and otherwise, very much unrelated. Ho-Oh has absolutely nothing to do with the legendary beasts other than reviving them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the three don't worship it, the three don't follow its commands, nor does anyone make a clear connection between the four. Arceus was the creator of the lake guardians and creation trio, but does that necessarily mean it itself is part of those trios? Like the prior examples, it is otherwise a standalone Pokemon with no common design/type/name themes. I think this page simply needs to be reworked rather than deleting it or considering it in its entirety as fanon.

:::::We can't leave it the way it is right now because it's wrong. The new Regis were already added to Regigigas' group in this article, making it a legendary ''quintet'' and thus unfitting for this page. I'd say our options are the following:
:::::a) We remove the new Regis for now and deal with it once the DLC comes out
:::::b) We remove the whole group for now. If the DLC comes out and it gives us reason to reinstate them (Yeah right! Does anyone honestly believe that will happen?), we can re-add them later.
:::::c) Or we make a separate section called something like "Masters of former legendary trios" like we did with the Legendary trio article and move the Regis there.
:::::My vote goes to b, as I think it's the less ugly option. There's also the fact that an argument could be made that they stopped being a trio the moment Regigigas was introduced in Gen 4. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 18:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

:::Just because you have the most recent post, it doesn't mean no one disagrees with you. There are thousands of pages on the wiki, you aren't always going to get a response right away. As I already stated, there have already been objections to removing from the article.

::::Except that none of those comments addressed my point. I pointed out that the article doesn't work the way it is right now, as it contradicts itself. In the starting paragraph it says that a trio master is "a Pokémon that, in some way, oversees a Legendary trio of Pokémon", yet the article clearly treats the Legendary Titans as a quintet, having already added the new Regis to it, rather waiting until the expansion comes out.
::::How much longer do you want me to wait for responses? If I bring up a problem with an article and offer a solution, then ''specifically ask people to speak up if they're against said solution'' and nobody says anything after a week, then I don't think I'm being unreasonable for taking their silence to mean that they have no issues with it. I can't read minds, the only way I can know if people have objections is if they post them.
::::And if you read one of my previous comments, I don't really care whether the Regis are removed or not, ''as long as the article is corrected''. We don't need to wait for the expansion to come out in order to see how self-contradictory the article is. Either remove the new Regis for now, remove the group altogether, or move it to a separate section for former Trio Masters. Either solution works for me. We can update it again once the expansion comes out. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 07:26, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
:::::This discussion seems to have escalated to a high level of animosity, but we can probably all calm down and not rush into things.
:::::About the topic at hand, all we know so far is that Rigice, Registeel and Regirock are a trio, and that Rigigigas is their master. And now two more regis are to be introduced. We don't know if they make a quintet with the previous trio, or a new trio with Regigigas, or whatever. The sensible thing to do, I think, would be keeping the page as it was before, without the new regis, with maybe a note about them saying their relation with the group is still unknown.
:::::To Golden Trainer, it's not unusual to have to wait for a response in the talk pages here. Some discussions may end up taking months or years, but not having new responses doesn't necessarily mean people agree, specially if there wasn't consensus before. I know it's not exactly pleasant to wait indefinetly, I too have been anoyed from similar situations, so I found that the best you can do is to ask for the intervention of an admin to try to settle things a bit quicker. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 12:34, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

:::::::Until Regieleki and Regidrago's relationship with the rest of the Regis is fully understood, I too agree that we should leave it as it originally was. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 07:23, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

== Master for every gen ==

There is a master for every generation, albeit some later than others. They're stil a thing! Therefore It should not be deleted, but reformed better. [[User:Necrozma800|Necrozma800]] ([[User talk:Necrozma800|talk]]) 21:01, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

== Aura and Light trios ==

Could someone add Zygarde as the internal master of Xerneas and Yveltal, and Necrozma as the internal master of Solgaleo and Lunala? I ask as I do not have the proper ability to do so myself. --[[User:ZygardePlotleForme164|ZygardePlotleForme164]] ([[User talk:ZygardePlotleForme164|talk]]) 00:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

== Deletion ==
I am completely against with deleting the trio master page because it can be very interesting information for fans of old and new. ~~[[User: FeeBeePokemon2002]]~~ 10:20am, September 30 2020 (AEST)

I am in favor of deleting [[Trio Master]] and merging the info into [[Legendary trio]]. The current legendary trio page would benefit from a section explaining the connections between the trios and other Pokémon, and it would not require the use of the name "Trio Master" which is fanon. [[User:EeveelutionaryN|EeveelutionaryN]] ([[User talk:EeveelutionaryN|talk]]) 14:43, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

== Expand/Rename/Merge to cover Legendary Groupings ==
So deleting the Regis from this article broke a number of comments on the article that refer to the Regis, and belies a history of Regigigas' relationship with the Regis as their Trio Master. They may be a Quintet now, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a role for discussing assymetrical Legendary relationships. We already saw in Gen VII that GameFreak is willing to break their normal rules and introduce Legendary Quartets instead. The Swords of Justice are another example: within normal gameplay, they're clearly a Legendary Trio but given Keldeo as a normally unobtainable in-game mythical Pokémon (not a Legendary by definition), they are considered a Quartet too. Could we merge Duos, Trios, and Trio Masters into a single article about the relationships of Legendaries & Mythicals and their overseer legendaries & mythicals? I believe that would be the most comprehensive response to the nuance of these matters given that GameFreak clearly documented in the games and anime and other material these overseers and relationships, but they're not necessarily Trios or Duos+Overseer or Trios+Overseer, or Duos without Overseer, etc. There's a lot of nuance. That's not reason for deletion, it IS reason to broaden rather than restrict the scope unnecessarily and cut out key parts of the article. Just like Rayquaza and Landorus oversee Duos, Regigigas oversees a Quintet. That's worth documenting and comparing against other overseers like Ho-oh and Arceus. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] ([[User talk:Kumori Satosuke|talk]]) 16:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

== Zygarde? ==

Shouldn't Zygarde also be listed? This one guards the ecosystem by overseeing the cycle of life (Xerneas) and death (Yveltal), and intervenes when the natural order is upset. Its ability and signature moves are also specifically designed to counter Xerneas and Yveltal. [[User:Golden Trainer|Golden Trainer]] ([[User talk:Golden Trainer|talk]]) 14:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

== Resolving Trio master Issue ==

Hi there. I made this to hopefully help resolve an issue that has been left unsolved since 2007/2014. I it is regarding this issue. I think of two good options. They will be listed bellow.

1. Keeping the page name by itself. It has its own unique identity and just because name is not official doesn't mean it real. Trio masters has been acknowledged by Game Freak and PIC through gameplay and story mode like for example Regigigas only appear an unlocked in presence for the Legendary titans. Hell Arceus counts given its mention it created two legendary trios. Also is trio master still a good name, what fi we could renamed into something like Masters of Legendary and Mythical Pokemon Group. In a way, that could allowed Cobalion to be on page and as Pokemon has evolved to the point it is no longer about Trio having masters, even legendary pokemon duos have masters like the case with Calyrex.

2. If merged to the Legendary Trio as suggestion long in past, it needs to be unique or connected. Again, I would say it would have to be given its own separate section to why they are connected to Legendary trio and role. Its not like the page would be called Legendary trio and master. Would be repetitive. What name would work to reference both should merged be approved. Plus the merged page would need one huge expansions.

Hopefully these options I am giving could help resolve this and keep the page around or be reborn. Hope to your your thoughts and suggestion on how to improve and resolve.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 15:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

:There are other Legendary Pokémon that can meet the Masters list that is not a trio or are a trio. One example is Zygarde as its entries mentioned it will show should Xerneas and Yveltal get unbalanced, serving a trio master role. The pacemaker of Life and Destruction. Another one is Cobalion as its the leader and master of the other three Swords of Justice, given he is their leader and they follow it. Third example is Calyrex, as it is the master of Spectrier and Glastrier as its the only one who could tame and calm the legendary duo.

:Would it make more sense if they were also a legendary trio given all three are connected and meet trio requirements given Calyrex is like Necrozma/Kyurem, and the Legendary Steeds are like Solgaleo and Lunala/Rehsiram and Zekrom? Looking back, maybe the Trio master could be renamed into something more fitting like Masters of Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. Maybe after doing that fan terminology to help improve it or make it better?What would be the best option for this?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 14:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

::I have to agree with both this and an older topic by user Satosuke. The concept of a "Master" among a group of legends is somewhere between canon and fanon, and it'd be a waste to completely eliminate it. But Crown Tundra's introduction of Regileki and Regidrago makes it ''really'' hard to justify continuing to use the term "Trio" for all the others. What it may be time to do, in my opinion, is combine all the groupings into one super reference. The trios, the duos (Eon, Tower, Lunar, and the Cyclizar relatives), and now a [[Treasures of Ruin|legendary quartet]] that has no "Master". All the mentions of a group of legends, regardless of quantity, generation, or presence of a "Master", could be plausibly covered in one article.

== Addressing Deletion ==

Guys, I don't think we should delete this article. It may not be fact, but it's still Pokémon-related lore, therefore serving as Pokémon-related information, which is the literal reason why Bulbapedia even exists. Do you really think we should delete it? [[User:Lugia+Ho-Oh|Lugia+Ho-Oh]] ([[User talk:Lugia+Ho-Oh|talk]]) 01:29, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

'''Regidrago''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジドラゴ''' ''Regidorago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

It is a member of the [[Legendary titans]] along with {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regieleki}}.

==Biology==
Regidrago is a spherical, golem-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a dark red body made of crystallized dragon energy, with the energy being the densest at its central core. Its face has a pattern of seven blue dots that resembles the capital letter "Y". It has two red legs with black feet that are shaped like teeth. Its arms are black on the outside and dark red on the inside, and resemble a dragon's head; the right arm resembles a dragon's upper jaw, complete with horns and "eye sockets", while the left arm is shaped like a lower jaw. Two red spikes shaped like wings are located behind its back, although it doesn't use these to fly, as it is capable of floating in the air. Regidrago's body and the "eye sockets" on its right arm can glow pink when attacking.

According to legend, Regidrago was created by {{p|Regigigas}} using crystallized dragon energy; however, Regigigas ran out of crystals after building Regidrago's head. Regidrago was then sealed away in a [[Split-Decision Ruins|temple]] by ancient people, who feared the destruction it would cause should it ever be completed.<ref name=SwShsite/> Due to its body composition, Regidrago is said to have the most powerful {{type|Dragon}} moves of all Pokémon,<ref name=SwShsite/> along with the power of every Dragon-type Pokémon.

Regidrago can fire an attack made of intense dragon energy by combining its arms to form a mouth, as seen with its [[signature move]], {{m|Dragon Energy}}.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/regidrago/ Newly discovered Legendary Pokémon Regidrago | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> There is an unproven academic theory that posits that Regidrago's arms originated from the head of an ancient dragon Pokémon.

Regidrago is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Dragon's Maw}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* Regidrago is the only member of the [[Legendary titans]] that:
** Does not have a base {{stat|HP}} stat of 80.
** Does not have a base {{stat|Speed}} that is a multiple of 50.
** Cannot learn {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}} by level up; instead it learns {{m|Laser Focus}} (in [[Generation VIII]]) and {{m|Dragon Energy}}.
** Does not share a weakness with any of the other titans.
** Has its official romanized Japanese name differ from its English name.
* Along with {{p|Regieleki}}, Regidrago is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in Generation VIII that is not prevented from being {{Shiny}} in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* Regidrago's base HP and Speed stats are the reverse of Regieleki's.
* Regidrago is the only pure Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Regidrago seems to be based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends.

Regidrago also seems to be based on a dragon head and a crystal ball or a pearl held by an {{wp|Asian dragon}}.

The five [[Legendary titans]] may collectively be themed after historical epochs, with Regidrago representing the {{wp|Middle Ages}}, a period known for its legends of dragons. Alternatively, Regidrago may represent the {{wp|Mesozoic}}, the era when dinosaurs walked the Earth which is also known as the Age of Reptiles.

====Name origin====
Regidrago and Regidorago may be a combination of ''regis'' (Latin for royal) and ''dragon''.

== Talk pages ==

Hey there! Just a heads up, in the future if you forget to sign a comment, please do not sign it in a separate edit, as it runs the risk of leaving the incorrect time stamp. Instead, place <code><nowiki>{{unsigned}}</nowiki></code> where your signature would be and then just try to remember to sign next time. It happens to everyone so don't sweat it! Also, keep in mind that new conversations always go to the very bottom of a talk page. Hope this helps! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 03:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, sorry didn't know that. My bad. Also, what happens if I put <code><nowiki>{{unsigned}}</nowiki></code> into it? What will be replaced? I just wanna know. Thanks! [[User:Lugia+Ho-Oh|Lugia+Ho-Oh]] ([[User talk:Lugia+Ho-Oh|talk]]) 00:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

FireLordSSBU: /* Intro */

[[File:Ability VIII.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Gyarados}} lowering {{p|Hydreigon}}'s {{stat|Attack}} stat with its {{a|Intimidate}} Ability]]
An '''Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Ability'') is a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]] that provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld. Individual Pokémon{{tt|*|With the exception of Ice or Shadow Rider Calyrex}} may have only one Ability at a time. Prior to [[Generation VI]], an Ability could not be changed after a Pokémon was obtained except by [[evolution]]—where the new Ability is determined by the former Ability—and [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is entirely beneficial; {{cat|Abilities with negative effects|some of them are hindering}}.

Abilities are functionally absent in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Terminology==
Often in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also sometimes in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is written as "special ability" (in lowercase). Some examples:

* The descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, and {{a|Trace}} mention either "special ability" or "special abilities".
* In the placeholder text for a Pokémon with no Ability: "No special ability."
* Some [[non-player character]]s mention "special abilities".
** A male NPC in the house south of [[Devon Corporation]], in [[Rustboro City]]: "Every <sc>Pokémon</sc> has a special ability that it can use."
** A female NPC in the first floor of [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]: "Depending on the special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, some moves might change or not work at all."
** {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}} Jennifer in {{rt|120|Hoenn}}: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> have many special abilities. If you want to become a first-class <sc>Trainer</sc>, learn about them.", "The special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> will make battle styles change."
* In the [[easy chat system]]: "<sc>Sp. Ability</sc>"
* In the manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, about the Pokémon's [[summary]]: "Displays the special <sc>Ability</sc> of the Pokémon"

Sometimes in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, but more often in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]], this is written as "ability" (in lowercase; without the word "special"). Some examples:

* The Pokémon's summary has an "Ability" field.
* The description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) mentions "abilities".
* When {{m|Skill Swap}} is used in battle: "<Pokémon> swapped abilities with its opponent!"
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]] games, the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}} mention either "ability" or "abilities".
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, said by the NPC who delivers [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) in [[Canalave City]]: "You know how Pokémon have their own abilities? Well, the move Skill Swap exchanges the user’s ability with that of its target Pokémon."

From [[Generation V]] onwards, this is consistently written as "Ability" (starting with a capital letter).

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

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

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

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

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

==={{anchor|Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities}}===
{{Split|Hidden Ability|section}}
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation V)}}
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VI)}}
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VII)}}
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VIII)}}
A '''Hidden Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Hidden Ability'') is a type of Ability slot introduced in [[Generation V]]. An individual Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Ability slot upon [[evolution]] (i.e. its Ability will become its evolved form's Hidden Ability). Pokémon can only have their Hidden Ability if obtained in certain ways.

Not all species of Pokémon {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|have a Hidden Ability}}. However, even Pokémon of a species that does not have a Hidden Ability can have the Hidden Ability flag. Some methods for obtaining a Hidden Ability specifically ensure that species without a Hidden Ability cannot receive the Hidden Ability flag, while other methods do not. A Pokémon without a Hidden Ability having the Hidden Ability flag has functional significance in two circumstances:
* Some species of Pokémon do not have a Hidden Ability even though their evolved forms do; upon evolution, the evolved form will only have its Hidden Ability if its pre-evolved form had the Hidden Ability flag (despite this not being visible on the pre-evolved form). For example, {{p|Metapod}} does not have a Hidden Ability, whereas {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Butterfree}} do.
* If a Pokémon species that did not have a Hidden Ability gains a Hidden Ability in a subsequent generation, if a Pokémon of that species with its Hidden Ability flag is transferred to a generation in which it can have its Hidden Ability, its Ability will change accordingly. For example, {{p|Weezing}} did not have a Hidden Ability in [[Generation VI]], but it can have its Hidden Ability flag if encountered as a {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}}; if a Weezing with its Hidden Ability flag is transferred to Generation VIII (where it does have a Hidden Ability), its Ability will become its Hidden Ability.

====General methods====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm which methods allow a Pokémon of a species that does not have a Hidden Ability to have the Hidden Ability flag}}
* All generations
** When {{pkmn|breeding}} a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|may have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability.
* Generation V
** All Pokémon encountered in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e. obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon|Global Link promotion]]) will always have their Hidden Ability, if they have one.
*** Since the closure of the Pokémon Global Link, several evolutionary families can no longer be newly encountered with their Hidden Ability (other than by breeding Pokémon caught there): the {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Tirtouga}} families.
** Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] always have their Hidden Ability.
** Pokémon encountered in [[Hidden Grotto]]s always have their Hidden Ability.
* Generation VI
** Any Pokémon encountered in a [[Horde Encounter]] may have their Hidden Ability.
** Pokémon encountered in the [[Friend Safari]] have approximately a 1 in 3 chance of having their Hidden Ability if the Friend to whom the Friend Safari corresponds has been recognized as a Friend in the [[Player Search System|PSS]] (i.e. if both players have been on the PSS at the same time).
** {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} have a chance of having their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), which increases as the Search Level for that species increases.
* Generation VII
** Pokémon that appear as the tenth or later Pokémon in an [[SOS Battle]] have a chance of having their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), which increases as the chain length increases.
** All Pokémon transferred from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] games via [[Poké Transporter]] have their Hidden Ability, if they have one.
* Generation VIII
** Pokémon encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s may have their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), depending on the specific raid.
** Using an [[Ability Patch]] on a Pokémon gives it its Hidden Ability (unless its species does not have one).
** Pokémon encountered in grass patches that have more grass shaking off via the [[Poké Radar]] will have their Hidden Ability, if their species has one. These patches have a 1/128 chance of being generated when the Radar is used, for a total of approximately a 1/32.38 chance (or approximately 3.09%) of at least one of the four patches generated being such.
* Generation IX
** Pokémon encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s may have their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), depending on the specific raid.

====Specific Pokémon====
* Certain [[event Pokémon]] may have their Hidden Ability.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, some overworld Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** The five {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Desert Resort]].
** The {{p|Musharna}} in the [[Dreamyard]] on Fridays.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, some overworld and gift Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** On Mondays, a male {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|B2}} or a {{p|Braviary}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|W2}}.
** On Thursdays, a {{p|Mandibuzz}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|B2}} or a female {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|W2}}.
** A {{p|Deerling}} given as a gift on {{rt|6|Unova}}.
** A male {{p|Eevee}} gifted by [[Amanita]] in [[Castelia City]], after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.
** [[Yancy]]/[[Curtis]] will trade the player a specific Pokémon with a Hidden Ability after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and ridden the ferris wheel with them.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a {{p|Kecleon}} with its Hidden Ability will appear behind the astronaut [[face board]] at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] after the [[Delta Episode]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some [[Totem Pokémon#Totem-sized Pokémon|Totem-sized]] Pokémon have their Hidden Ability. This is to ensure the Totem Pokémon in question have only one possible Ability upon being received.
** Totem-sized {{p|Gumshoos}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Ribombee}} in ''Ultra Sun''.
** Totem-sized {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, and {{p|Kommo-o}} in ''Ultra Moon''.
* In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], certain static encounter and gift Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** All gift Pokémon given to the player by the Diglett Trainer in the [[Fields of Honor]] (except {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, which does not have a Hidden Ability).
** The gift {{p|Porygon}} given to the player by [[Hyde]] at the [[Master Dojo]].
** The {{p|Spiritomb}} that appears at [[Ballimere Lake]] after interacting with the tombstone and interacting with 32 players' avatars.
* In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], all [[Legendary Pokémon]] encountered at [[Ramanas Park]] have their Hidden Abilities if applicable.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the Titan {{p|Bombirdier}} (which can be caught after being defeated) has its Hidden Ability.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to Abilities' introduction, [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} can automatically transform into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it hasn't been translated into an actual Ability in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are officially absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to replicate {{p|Arceus}}' {{a|Multitype}}.

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

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities (Conquest)}}

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

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

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

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

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

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

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

[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} used {{a|Wonder Guard}} to protect itself against {{m|Spike Cannon}} by [[Misty's Corsola]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''.
[[File:Colonel Hansen Shedinja Wonder Guard.png|thumb|250px|[[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} activating {{a|Wonder Guard}}]]
Two Abilities were seen in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', being used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Grovyle}}, using {{a|Static}} and {{a|Overgrow}} respectively.

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

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', [[Marcel]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}} possessed {{a|Vital Spirit}}, which prevented it from falling asleep while fighting a {{p|Snorlax}} that kept using {{m|Yawn}}.

Both {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Drought}} were seen in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' respectively by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}}.

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

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

In ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'', [[Kimmy Shoney|Kimmy]]'s {{p|Linoone}}, Tokin, used {{a|Pickup}} to steal and take items to its private stash, including {{an|May}}'s Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Hariyama}} used {{a|Thick Fat}} to halve the damage it took from [[Ash's Torkoal]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{a|Blaze}} returned in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' when Ash's Chimchar became enraged during a battle with [[Paul's Ursaring]]. It took considerable effort for Ash to return Chimchar to normal after it defeated Ursaring, causing Paul to leave the battle a draw. Paul told Ash that they would only battle again when and if Ash and Chimchar learned to control Blaze.
[[File:Ash Monferno Blaze.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Monferno]] activating {{a|Blaze}}]]
In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}} activated his {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability while battling [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the final round of the {{to|Celestic}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', [[Palmer]]'s {{p|Rhyperior}} used {{a|Solid Rock}} to lessen the damage from [[Ash's Grotle]]'s {{m|Energy Ball}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''===
A Hidden Ability was first seen in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' by a {{p|Darmanitan}} using {{a|Zen Mode}}.

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

A wild {{p|Venipede}} used its {{a|Poison Point}} Ability to poison Ash in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''.

In ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'', {{an|Iris}} pointed out that {{AP|Roggenrola}} had the Ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would receive less damage than a Pokémon normally would.
[[File:Alder Bouffalant Sap Sipper.png|thumb|250px|[[Alder]]'s {{p|Bouffalant}} activating {{a|Sap Sipper}}]]
[[Luke's Zorua]] often used Illusion to help [[Luke]] in making his movies. It was first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''.

In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', [[Iris's Emolga]] used Static to help her win a battle against [[Stephan's Sawk]].

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

{{adv|Wally}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activated its {{a|Color Change}} Ability in ''[[PS187|Tongue-Tied Kecleon]]''.

[[Matt]]'s {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{adv|Amber}}'s {{p|Carvanha}} both activated {{a|Rough Skin}} in ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]''. {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Castform}}, [[Fofo]], first activated {{a|Forecast}} in the same round.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}} has {{a|Static}} as its Ability.

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

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

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].

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

Abilities are functionally absent in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

==Terminology==
Often in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, and also sometimes in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is written as "special ability" (in lowercase). Some examples:

* The descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, and {{a|Trace}} mention either "special ability" or "special abilities".
* In the placeholder text for a Pokémon with no Ability: "No special ability."
* Some [[non-player character]]s mention "special abilities".
** A male NPC in the house south of [[Devon Corporation]], in [[Rustboro City]]: "Every <sc>Pokémon</sc> has a special ability that it can use."
** A female NPC in the first floor of [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]: "Depending on the special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, some moves might change or not work at all."
** {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}} Jennifer in {{rt|120|Hoenn}}: "<sc>Pokémon</sc> have many special abilities. If you want to become a first-class <sc>Trainer</sc>, learn about them.", "The special abilities of <sc>Pokémon</sc> will make battle styles change."
* In the [[easy chat system]]: "<sc>Sp. Ability</sc>"
* In the manual of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, about the Pokémon's [[summary]]: "Displays the special <sc>Ability</sc> of the Pokémon"

Sometimes in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, but more often in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]], this is written as "ability" (in lowercase; without the word "special"). Some examples:

* The Pokémon's summary has an "Ability" field.
* The description of [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) mentions "abilities".
* When {{m|Skill Swap}} is used in battle: "<Pokémon> swapped abilities with its opponent!"
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and [[Generation IV]] games, the descriptions of {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{a|Trace}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}} mention either "ability" or "abilities".
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, said by the NPC who delivers [[TM48]] ({{m|Skill Swap}}) in [[Canalave City]]: "You know how Pokémon have their own abilities? Well, the move Skill Swap exchanges the user’s ability with that of its target Pokémon."

From [[Generation V]] onwards, this is consistently written as "Ability" (starting with a capital letter).

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

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

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

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

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

{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities (Generation VIII)}}
A '''Hidden Ability''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''Hidden Ability'') is a type of Ability slot introduced in [[Generation V]]. An individual Pokémon with its Hidden Ability will retain its Ability slot upon [[evolution]] (i.e. its Ability will become its evolved form's Hidden Ability). Pokémon can only have their Hidden Ability if obtained in certain ways.

Not all species of Pokémon {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|have a Hidden Ability}}. However, even Pokémon of a species that does not have a Hidden Ability can have the Hidden Ability flag. Some methods for obtaining a Hidden Ability specifically ensure that species without a Hidden Ability cannot receive the Hidden Ability flag, while other methods do not. A Pokémon without a Hidden Ability having the Hidden Ability flag has functional significance in two circumstances:
* Some species of Pokémon do not have a Hidden Ability even though their evolved forms do; upon evolution, the evolved form will only have its Hidden Ability if its pre-evolved form had the Hidden Ability flag (despite this not being visible on the pre-evolved form). For example, {{p|Metapod}} does not have a Hidden Ability, whereas {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Butterfree}} do.
* If a Pokémon species that did not have a Hidden Ability gains a Hidden Ability in a subsequent generation, if a Pokémon of that species with its Hidden Ability flag is transferred to a generation in which it can have its Hidden Ability, its Ability will change accordingly. For example, {{p|Weezing}} did not have a Hidden Ability in [[Generation VI]], but it can have its Hidden Ability flag if encountered as a {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}}; if a Weezing with its Hidden Ability flag is transferred to Generation VIII (where it does have a Hidden Ability), its Ability will become its Hidden Ability.

====General methods====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm which methods allow a Pokémon of a species that does not have a Hidden Ability to have the Hidden Ability flag}}
* All generations
** When {{pkmn|breeding}} a Pokémon with its Hidden Ability, its offspring [[Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|may have a chance]] of having their Hidden Ability.
* Generation V
** All Pokémon encountered in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e. obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon|Global Link promotion]]) will always have their Hidden Ability, if they have one.
*** Since the closure of the Pokémon Global Link, several evolutionary families can no longer be newly encountered with their Hidden Ability (other than by breeding Pokémon caught there): the {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Tirtouga}} families.
** Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] always have their Hidden Ability.
** Pokémon encountered in [[Hidden Grotto]]s always have their Hidden Ability.
* Generation VI
** Any Pokémon encountered in a [[Horde Encounter]] may have their Hidden Ability.
** Pokémon encountered in the [[Friend Safari]] have approximately a 1 in 3 chance of having their Hidden Ability if the Friend to whom the Friend Safari corresponds has been recognized as a Friend in the [[Player Search System|PSS]] (i.e. if both players have been on the PSS at the same time).
** {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} have a chance of having their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), which increases as the Search Level for that species increases.
* Generation VII
** Pokémon that appear as the tenth or later Pokémon in an [[SOS Battle]] have a chance of having their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), which increases as the chain length increases.
** All Pokémon transferred from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] games via [[Poké Transporter]] have their Hidden Ability, if they have one.
* Generation VIII
** Pokémon encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s may have their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), depending on the specific raid.
** Using an [[Ability Patch]] on a Pokémon gives it its Hidden Ability (unless its species does not have one).
** Pokémon encountered in grass patches that have more grass shaking off via the [[Poké Radar]] will have their Hidden Ability, if their species has one. These patches have a 1/128 chance of being generated when the Radar is used, for a total of approximately a 1/32.38 chance (or approximately 3.09%) of at least one of the four patches generated being such.
* Generation IX
** Pokémon encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s may have their Hidden Ability (even if their species does not have a Hidden Ability), depending on the specific raid.

====Specific Pokémon====
* Certain [[event Pokémon]] may have their Hidden Ability.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, some overworld Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** The five {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Desert Resort]].
** The {{p|Musharna}} in the [[Dreamyard]] on Fridays.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, some overworld and gift Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** On Mondays, a male {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|B2}} or a {{p|Braviary}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|W2}}.
** On Thursdays, a {{p|Mandibuzz}} on {{rt|4|Unova}}{{sup/5|B2}} or a female {{p|Jellicent}} at [[Undella Bay]]{{sup/5|W2}}.
** A {{p|Deerling}} given as a gift on {{rt|6|Unova}}.
** A male {{p|Eevee}} gifted by [[Amanita]] in [[Castelia City]], after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.
** [[Yancy]]/[[Curtis]] will trade the player a specific Pokémon with a Hidden Ability after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and ridden the ferris wheel with them.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a {{p|Kecleon}} with its Hidden Ability will appear behind the astronaut [[face board]] at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] after the [[Delta Episode]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some [[Totem Pokémon#Totem-sized Pokémon|Totem-sized]] Pokémon have their Hidden Ability. This is to ensure the Totem Pokémon in question have only one possible Ability upon being received.
** Totem-sized {{p|Gumshoos}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}, and {{p|Ribombee}} in ''Ultra Sun''.
** Totem-sized {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, and {{p|Kommo-o}} in ''Ultra Moon''.
* In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], certain static encounter and gift Pokémon have their Hidden Ability:
** All gift Pokémon given to the player by the Diglett Trainer in the [[Fields of Honor]] (except {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}, which does not have a Hidden Ability).
** The gift {{p|Porygon}} given to the player by [[Hyde]] at the [[Master Dojo]].
** The {{p|Spiritomb}} that appears at [[Ballimere Lake]] after interacting with the tombstone and interacting with 32 players' avatars.
* In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], all [[Legendary Pokémon]] encountered at [[Ramanas Park]] have their Hidden Abilities if applicable.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the Titan {{p|Bombirdier}} (which can be caught after being defeated) has its Hidden Ability.

===Inheriting Abilities===
{{main|Pokémon breeding#Inheriting Abilities|Pokémon breeding → Inheriting Abilities}}
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, Abilities could not be inherited by {{pkmn|breeding}}. An Egg would simply randomly be born with one of its possible Abilities.

Since [[Generation V]], it has been possible for female Pokémon to pass down their Ability. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, if a female Pokémon has its Hidden Ability and is bred with a male Pokémon, it has a 60% chance of passing it down. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a female Pokémon bred with a male Pokémon has an 80% chance of passing down its Ability slot (regardless of whether it is a Hidden Ability or not). From [[Generation VI]] onward, a female Pokémon has an 80% (60% for Hidden Ability) chance to pass down its Ability slot, regardless of whether it is bred with a male Pokémon or {{p|Ditto}}.

Since [[Generation VI]], it is possible for male and [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnemite}}) to pass down their Ability if bred with a Ditto, in which case it has a 60% chance to pass down its Hidden Ability. They cannot pass down a Hidden Ability when bred with any Pokémon other than Ditto. Ditto's Ability is always irrelevant to inheritance.

If an Egg does not inherit its Ability from a parent, it can only be born with one of its non-Hidden Abilities.

==Ability-related effects==
Various items, moves, and Abilities can affect a Pokémon's Ability, usually in battle.

==Alternatives==
===Generation II===
Prior to Abilities' introduction, [[Generation II]] games already featured a mechanic similar to {{a|Pickup}} and {{a|Honey Gather}} uniquely available to a single Pokémon species: after each battle, a {{i|Berry}} held by a {{p|Shuckle}} can automatically transform into [[Berry Juice]]. No other Pokémon has this trait, and it hasn't been translated into an actual Ability in subsequent games.

===Generation VIII===
While Abilities are officially absent in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], the effects of {{a|Flower Gift}} and {{a|Slow Start}} are nonetheless applied to {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Regigigas}} respectively. [[Plate]]s are also available as [[Key Item]]s to replicate {{p|Arceus}}' {{a|Multitype}}.

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

Abilities available in the core series games are also available in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Some Abilities differ from their counterparts in the core series (e.g. {{a|Intimidate}} reduces the opposing Pokémon's Attack by 20%). Prior to [[Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon with two Abilities would have both rather than just one. There are no Hidden Abilities in Mystery Dungeon games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|List of Abilities (Conquest)}}

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

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

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

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

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
The first Ability to be seen other than {{a|Color Change}} was {{a|Rough Skin}}, first seen in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. It was used by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Sharpedo}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{adv|Wally}}'s {{p|Kecleon}} activated its {{a|Color Change}} Ability in ''[[PS187|Tongue-Tied Kecleon]]''.

[[Matt]]'s {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{adv|Amber}}'s {{p|Carvanha}} both activated {{a|Rough Skin}} in ''[[PS189|Mowing Down Ludicolo]]''. {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Castform}}, [[Fofo]], first activated {{a|Forecast}} in the same round.

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

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

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

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

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

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

{{adv|Groudon}} and {{adv|Kyogre}} activated {{a|Drought}} and {{a|Drizzle}}, respectively, in ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]''.

[[Brawly]]'s {{p|Machoke}} used {{a|Guts}} in ''[[PS247|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX]]''.

Sapphire's {{p||Lairon}}, [[Rono]], and her {{p|Donphan}}, Phado, both activated {{a|Sturdy}} to survive against a {{m|Sheer Cold}} attack from Archie's Walrein in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]''.

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

===Pokémon - The Legend of the Dragon King===
[[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}} has {{a|Static}} as its Ability.

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

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

==Trivia==
* {{p|Zygarde}} is the only Pokémon that has two standard Abilities but does not have a Hidden Ability.
* The unused Ability {{a|Cacophony}} was included in the coding for third-generation games as Ability #076 ({{a|Air Lock}} was #077). From the fourth generation, Cacophony was removed and Air Lock was renumbered as #076, with the new Abilities positioned from #077 onward.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Abilities, with a total of 76. [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with a total of 27.
* In Generation III, there is an unused Ability placeholder labeled as "-------" with the description "No special ability".
* Every Ability introduced in [[Generation VIII]] is a [[signature Ability]].

'''Azelf''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アグノム''' ''Agnome'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Uxie}} and {{p|Mesprit}}, Azelf is a member of the [[lake guardians]], the [[Sinnoh]] region's {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon [[Legendary trio|trio]]. Azelf is known as the bringer of willpower.

==Biology==
Azelf is a small, gray-blue, fairy-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the [[Red Chain]]. Azelf has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with elf ear-like protrusions on each side.

Azelf's spirit can leave its body without dying and can return to the body at will. It sleeps at the bottom of a lake to preserve the balance of the world. It can control an individual's will or enter the body of an individual. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] say that if Azelf is harmed, it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile for all eternity. Azelf is highly feared due it having the power to manipulate the will of foes into its own puppets. It was shown in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Azelf can be very cautious around people and Pokémon. However, if threatened, it will reveal its bold side. Azelf has been referred to as the "The Being of Willpower" due to its role in giving humans the determination to face challenges in life. Azelf and the other [[lake guardians]] have the power to calm {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} should the deity be enraged. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Azelf is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] via telepathy.

Azelf and the other lake guardians are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mystical Power}}.

==Trivia==
* Azelf is tied with Uxie and Mesprit for the highest base friendship of all Legendary Pokémon.
===Origin===
Azelf seems to be based on a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}}, although its Japanese name suggests that it is a {{wp|gnome}}. The lake guardians could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the ''{{wp|Kusanagi}}'', which embodies valor.

====Name origin====
Azelf may be a combination of ''A'' of the acronym ''UMA'' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) and ''elf''. It may also involve the pronoun ''us'', as well as ''azure''.

Agnome may be a combination of ''A'' of the acronym ''UMA'' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) and ''gnome''.

'''Mesprit''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エムリット''' ''Emrit'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Uxie}} and {{p|Azelf}}, Mesprit is a member of the [[lake guardians]], the [[Sinnoh]] region's {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon [[Legendary trio|trio]]. Mesprit is known as the bringer of emotion.

==Biology==
Mesprit is a small, gray, {{wp|fairy}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted in them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which comprise the [[Red Chain]]. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted in its forehead.

Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying and return to the body at will. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] say that a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. Mesprit was highly feared due to it punishing those who disrespect it; Mesprit will throw their emotions into disarray. Mesprit is said to have taught humans the ability to feel sorrow, pain, and joy. It was shown in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though playful, it is a bit mischievous. Mesprit is known as "The Being of Emotion". Mesprit and the other [[lake guardians]] have the power to calm {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} should the deity be enraged. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Mesprit is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] via telepathy.

Mesprit and the other lake guardians are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mystical Power}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Mesprit anime.png|thumb|250px|Mesprit in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit|Mesprit (anime)}}=====
In ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden Voyage!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} saw the projected "soul" of Mesprit near [[Lake Verity]].

Mesprit physically debuted in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} came to [[Lake Valor]] after {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} was captured. However, they were also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but beforehand, they used {{m|Future Sight}}, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Dawn's Piplup]] and [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], it helped stop [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. It reappeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], helping to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}}.

=====Other=====
In [[PK21]], a Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie served {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

====Minor appearances====

====Trophy information====
''An Emotion Pokémon said to have taught humans emotions. Rumor is, if you touch Mesprit, you'll lose all emotions three days later. It sleeps at the base of [[Lake Verity]], but once engaged in battle, it will rise from the water to fly around the [[Sinnoh]] region. Even if you see this Pokémon after your initial meeting, it'll try to flee battle, so catching it is quite a task.''

Mesprit appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}} alongside {{p|Uxie}} and {{p|Azelf}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Mesprit is the guardian of the [[Time Gear]] of [[Quicksand Cave]]. When the {{player}} and the partner first reach the cave, Mesprit attacks them, having been warned by {{mdc|Uxie|2}} about someone aiming to steal the Time Gear, which is soon after stolen by {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}.

==Trivia==
* Mesprit is somewhat unique among the members of its trio, as it leaves [[Lake Verity]] and begins {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]] after being encountered by the {{player}} in Lake Verity's cavern.
** In {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky}}, Mesprit is the only one of the lake guardians to fight the main character in battle during the main story; despite being depicted as a calm and peaceful Pokémon, it was enraged by a previous attack on its counterpart Uxie and quite fiercely attacked the hero and their partner.
* Mesprit shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Indeedee}}. They are all known as the Emotion Pokémon.
* Mesprit is tied with Uxie and Azelf for the highest base friendship of all Legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Mesprit seems to be based on a {{wp|spirit}} or a {{wp|sprite}}. The lake guardians could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Mesprit would be the {{wp|Magatama#Yasakani no Magatama|Yasakani no Magatama}}, which embodies benevolence.

====Name origin====
Mesprit may be a combination of ''M'' of the acronym ''UMA'' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) and ''spirit'' or ''{{wp|Sprite (creature)|sprite}}''. It may also involve ''esprit'' (liveliness of mind or spirit, and French for 'spirit') or the pronoun ''me''.

Emrit may be a combination of ''M'' of the acronym ''UMA'' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) and ''spirit''.

'''Uxie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユクシー''' ''Yuxie'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

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

Along with {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}}, Uxie is a member of the [[lake guardians]], the [[Sinnoh]] region's {{type|Psychic}} Legendary Pokémon [[Legendary trio|trio]]. Uxie is known as the bringer of knowledge.

==Biology==
Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two gray tails that are each encrusted with a red gem. Uxie has a partially yellow face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Its head faintly resembles that of a helmet or a human brain.
Uxie always has its eyes closed, as it can wipe out the memory of those who see its eyes.

Uxie is both feared and respected for its ability to erase the memories of evil people. Uxie's spirit can leave its body without dying, and return at will. It created all knowledge in the Pokémon universe. Notably, when Uxie first emerged, humans gained the knowledge needed to solve problems and improved their quality of life. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is shown that Uxie can create an illusion. It was also shown in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though it is very shy, Uxie will attack with force if it or the other [[lake guardians]] are threatened. Uxie has been referred to as "The Being of Knowledge." Uxie and the other lake guardians have the power to calm {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} should the deity be enraged. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Uxie is shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of speech]] via telepathy.

Uxie and the other lake guardians are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mystical Power}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Uxie anime.png|thumb|250px|Uxie in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie|Uxie (anime)}}=====
In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Uxie's "soul" appeared to {{an|Brock}}, much in the same way those of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} appeared to {{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}}, respectively.

Uxie physically debuted in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', where it, along with Mesprit, came to [[Lake Valor]] after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]], but before it was captured, it used {{m|Future Sight}} with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Ash's Gliscor]], it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. It reappeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], helping to stop a rampaging {{p|Heatran}}.

=====Other=====
In [[PK21]], a Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit served {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends some apples.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', a {{OBP|Uxie|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}}, along with the other members of its trio, were the protectors of the Time Gear.

It first appeared in ''[[PS398|Tackling Tangrowth]]''.

Along with Mesprit and Azelf, Uxie was captured by Team Galactic to create the [[Red Chain]] so that they can control the Legendary {{p|Dialga}}. It was eventually freed and helped stop Dialga by breaking the Red Chain. It first appeared in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]''.

However, Uxie allows [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] to leave with their memories intact when they promise not to reveal the secret. {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} later steals Uxie's Time Gear.

==Trivia==
* Uxie is tied with Mesprit and Azelf for the highest base friendship of all Legendary Pokémon.
===Origin===
Uxie seems to be based on a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}} and the color {{wp|yellow}}. The lake guardians could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Uxie would be the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}}, which embodies wisdom and honesty.

====Name origin====
Uxie and Yuxie may be a combination of ''U'' of the acronym ''UMA'' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) and ''{{wp|pixie}}''. It may also involve the pronoun ''you''.

'''Passimian''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゲツケサル''' ''Nagetukesaru'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

==Biology==
Passimian is a black-and-white {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a powerfully built {{wp|lemur}} with broad shoulders. Most of its fur is white, but it has a black muzzle, upper body, hands, feet and ankles, and tail. However, there is a wavy white ring near the tip of its tail. The fur around Passimian's head and face is longer and forms many small clumps, especially around the top of its head and under its chin. On top of its head is a pale green helmet similar to half of a {{wp|coconut}} shell. The helmet has a small orange blaze on the front and two leaves that stand up straight attached to the back. Its eyes are partially hidden by its headwear, but its yellow sclerae and reddish-orange irises are visible. It is often seen carrying a large berry that resembles a green coconut. There are several leaves stuck on its body with saliva. The shoulders and chest all have one vertical and one horizontal leaf. While most Passimian have green leaves, the anime [[SM064|has shown]] that there is a red leaf variant on [[Akala Island]] that has one additional horizontal leaf in each area. The leaves' color and position are decided by the leader of a troop and aid in distinguishing one troop from another.

This Pokémon creates troops of 20 to 30 members. Each troop has a leader that picks 10 of the strongest members to search for food. Passimian tend to get into territorial disputes with {{p|Ambipom}} in their search for comfortable trees, in which they win half the time. This Pokémon's battle strategy involves throwing berries at opponents, hard ones for damage and soft ones to obscure vision, and confusing opponents by throwing the berry to other troop members. A troop's leader is the member that can throw these berries the farthest. Through rigorous training, the troop improves its coordination, teamwork, and skill in handling berries. Some Passimian are unable to handle the intensity and flee from the troop. In place of a troop leader, a captive Passimian looks to its Trainer for leadership. If its Trainer has poor form when throwing Poké Balls, it will refuse to obey.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/passimian/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Passimian]</ref>

Passimian is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] with the [[Ability]] {{a|Receiver}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====Melemele Greens====
[[File:Melemele Island Passimian.png|thumb|250px|The Melemele Greens]]
The Melemele Greens are a group of Passimian who live in a forested area close to [[Iki Town]]. The members of that group have green markings and are from a forest behind [[Iki Town]] on [[Melemele Island]]. As such, they are referred to as (Japanese: '''メレメレグリーンズ''' ''Melemele Greens''), with their leader being [[nickname]]d (Japanese: '''タイニー''' ''Tiny''). As the episode only aired in Asia, they don't have English names.

The Melemele Greens debuted in the [[banned episodes|banned episode]] [[SM064]]. The Red Buns clan from [[Akala Island]], led by one nicknamed Claw, had arrived on [[Melemele Island]] and asserted leadership of the Melemele Greens after taking possession of their special fruit. The Melemele Greens felt helpless under Claw's ruthless reign and simply complied. {{Ash}} decided to dress up like a Passimian, which bolstered the confidence of Tiny and the other Melemele Greens. Tiny went on to challenge Claw for the leadership of the Melemele Greens and competed alongside Ash in a [[Berry]]-tossing game on the beach. The Red Buns dominated much of the match due to their larger size, though the game encouraged the other Melemele Greens to revolt and outnumber Claw and its allies to reclaim their territory and freedom. Tiny and the other Melemele Greens eventually regained control, and later took Ash back to their nest to celebrate the victory.

They reappeared in ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'', where they were among the Pokémon who visited [[Oranguru's place]] and had their meal served by {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Oranguru}}.

====Other====
[[File:Akala Island Passimian.png|thumb|250px|Akala Island Passimian in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The other group of Passimian that appeared in the banned episode SM064 have [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|red markings]] and are from [[Akala Island]]. They are referred to (Japanese: '''レッドバンズ''' ''Red Buns''), with their leader being nicknamed (Japanese: '''かぎづめ''' ''Kagizume''). They served as the antagonists of the episode.

===Minor appearances===

Two Passimian appeared in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', where they served as public transport throughout [[Malie Garden]]. They gave {{an|Sophocles}} and his {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} a ride.

Four Passimian appeared in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'', with {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Passimian|one of them}} being caught by [[Goh]] and another one being caught by the [[All-Out Brothers]] as part of the [[Pokémon Catch Adventure Race]].

==Trivia==
* Passimian can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Oranguru}}. Both are primate Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Passimian is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Violet]], {{p|Oranguru}} is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]].
* Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Passimian and Oranguru are listed in the same [[Pokédex]] page in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The same trait is true with {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}.

===Origin===
Passimian appears to be based on a lemur, with a striking resemblance to a {{wp|black-and-white ruffed lemur}}. Lemurs also live in large groups and are very cooperative in activities like searching for food, like Passimian. It may also draw inspiration from quarterbacks in {{wp|American football}}.

====Name origin====
Passimian may be a combination of ''pass'' and ''simian''. It may also be a play on ''{{wp|prosimian}}''.

Nagetukesaru may be a combination of 投げつける ''nagetsukeru'' (to throw) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

'''Passimian''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナゲツケサル''' ''Nagetukesaru'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

==Biology==
Passimian is a black-and-white {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a powerfully built {{wp|lemur}} with broad shoulders. Most of its fur is white, but it has a black muzzle, upper body, hands, feet and ankles, and tail. However, there is a wavy white ring near the tip of its tail. The fur around Passimian's head and face is longer and forms many small clumps, especially around the top of its head and under its chin. On top of its head is a pale green helmet similar to half of a {{wp|coconut}} shell. The helmet has a small orange blaze on the front and two leaves that stand up straight attached to the back. Its eyes are partially hidden by its headwear, but its yellow sclerae and reddish-orange irises are visible. It is often seen carrying a large berry that resembles a green coconut. There are several leaves stuck on its body with saliva. The shoulders and chest all have one vertical and one horizontal leaf. While most Passimian have green leaves, the anime [[SM064|has shown]] that there is a red leaf variant on [[Akala Island]] that has one additional horizontal leaf in each area. The leaves' color and position are decided by the leader of a troop and aid in distinguishing one troop from another.

This Pokémon creates troops of 20 to 30 members. Each troop has a leader that picks 10 of the strongest members to search for food. Passimian tend to get into territorial disputes with {{p|Ambipom}} in their search for comfortable trees, in which they win half the time. This Pokémon's battle strategy involves throwing berries at opponents, hard ones for damage and soft ones to obscure vision, and confusing opponents by throwing the berry to other troop members. A troop's leader is the member that can throw these berries the farthest. Through rigorous training, the troop improves its coordination, teamwork, and skill in handling berries. Some Passimian are unable to handle the intensity and flee from the troop. In place of a troop leader, a captive Passimian looks to its Trainer for leadership. If its Trainer has poor form when throwing Poké Balls, it will refuse to obey.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/passimian/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Passimian]</ref>

Passimian is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] with the [[Ability]] {{a|Receiver}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====Melemele Greens====
[[File:Melemele Island Passimian.png|thumb|250px|The Melemele Greens]]
The Melemele Greens are a group of Passimian who live in a forested area close to [[Iki Town]]. The members of that group have green markings and are from a forest behind [[Iki Town]] on [[Melemele Island]]. As such, they are referred to as (Japanese: '''メレメレグリーンズ''' ''Melemele Greens''), with their leader being [[nickname]]d (Japanese: '''タイニー''' ''Tiny''). As the episode only aired in Asia, they don't have English names.

The Melemele Greens debuted in the [[banned episodes|banned episode]] [[SM064]]. The Red Buns clan from [[Akala Island]], led by one nicknamed Claw, had arrived on [[Melemele Island]] and asserted leadership of the Melemele Greens after taking possession of their special fruit. The Melemele Greens felt helpless under Claw's ruthless reign and simply complied. {{Ash}} decided to dress up like a Passimian, which bolstered the confidence of Tiny and the other Melemele Greens. Tiny went on to challenge Claw for the leadership of the Melemele Greens and competed alongside Ash in a [[Berry]]-tossing game on the beach. The Red Buns dominated much of the match due to their larger size, though the game encouraged the other Melemele Greens to revolt and outnumber Claw and its allies to reclaim their territory and freedom. Tiny and the other Melemele Greens eventually regained control, and later took Ash back to their nest to celebrate the victory.

They reappeared in ''[[SM121|A Recipe for Success!]]'', where they were among the Pokémon who visited [[Oranguru's place]] and had their meal served by {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Oranguru}}.

====Other====
[[File:Akala Island Passimian.png|thumb|250px|Akala Island Passimian in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The other group of Passimian that appeared in the banned episode SM064 have [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|red markings]] and are from [[Akala Island]]. They are referred to (Japanese: '''レッドバンズ''' ''Red Buns''), with their leader being nicknamed (Japanese: '''かぎづめ''' ''Kagizume''). They served as the antagonists of the episode.

===Minor appearances===
Passimian made its English dub debut in ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

A Trainer's Passimian appeared in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]''.

A Passimian appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', under the ownership of the [[Ultra Rangers]]. It and its fellow Pokémon attempted to battle a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Ultra Ruin Guzzlord|Guzzlord}} that was wreaking havoc at the [[Ultra Ruin]], but lost.

Two Passimian appeared in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', where they served as public transport throughout [[Malie Garden]]. They gave {{an|Sophocles}} and his {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} a ride.

Four Passimian appeared in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'', with {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Passimian|one of them}} being caught by [[Goh]] and another one being caught by the [[All-Out Brothers]] as part of the [[Pokémon Catch Adventure Race]].

==Trivia==
* Passimian can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Oranguru}}. Both are primate Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Passimian is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Violet]] {{p|Oranguru}} is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet]].
* Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Passimian and Oranguru are listed in the same [[Pokédex]] page in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The same trait is true with {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Miltank}}.

===Origin===
Passimian appears to be based on a lemur, with a striking resemblance to a {{wp|black-and-white ruffed lemur}}. Lemurs also live in large groups and are very cooperative in activities like searching for food, like Passimian. It may also draw inspiration from quarterbacks in {{wp|American football}}.

====Name origin====
Passimian may be a combination of ''pass'' and ''simian''. It may also be a play on ''{{wp|prosimian}}''.

Nagetukesaru may be a combination of 投げつける ''nagetsukeru'' (to throw) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

==Blurb==


Ash’s next World Coronation Series battle is against Drasna of the Kalos Elite Four! But first, he pays a visit to his old friends Clemont and Bonnie at the Lumiose City Gym, and Goh takes a detour to catch a new Pokémon. At the Gym, Ash’s Sirfetch’d seems to be struggling to master a new move, Meteor Assault, so Clemont performs an analysis to find out what’s holding it back. It turns out some special training with Dracovish is the key! Ash and Clemont have a Double Battle, giving Sirfetch’d a chance to perfect Meteor Assault…and Dracovish learns a new move of its own, too!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] have arrived at [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. They part ways for a while so that Goh can {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} something new, agreeing to meet at the [[Lumiose Gym]], where Ash is due to reunite with his {{ashfr|companions}} from [[Pokémon the Series: XY|the time he used to travel around Kalos]]: {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. Along the way, Ash stops to look at a [[television]] broadcast featuring him and his opponent for his [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} [[JN104|the next day]]: [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]]. He swears to defeat her in order to realize his dream of battling {{an|Leon}}. Meanwhile, Goh comes across a {{TP|Goh|Froakie}} while walking through a park and tries to catch it, only for it to deflect his {{i|Poké Ball}} and throw bubbles on his face. Bonnie shows up and explains that the bubbles are called Frubbles, which only Froakie can make. Determined to catch the {{pkmn|category|Bubble Frog Pokémon}}, Goh challenges it to a battle.

Ash arrives at the Lumiose Gym just in time to see Clemont defeat a challenger with his {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}. He and Ash greet each other and let their Pokémon out so they can do the same. Clemont is surprised to see {{AP|Dracovish}}, which he has never even heard of before, while Ash is surprised to notice that Clemont's {{p|Bunnelby}} is now a {{TP|Clemont|Diggersby}}. Clemont also pays attention to {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}, which he hasn't seen before either. As Sirfetch'd makes thrusts with its leek, a yellow glow surrounds it and travels down the leek. Dracovish becomes fascinated by it and bites down on the leek, much to Sirfetch'd's irritation. Ash pulls Sirfetch'd free, but it has barely any time to resume its thrusting before Dracovish bites down on the leek again. This time, however, the glow around Sirfetch'd intensifies and sends both it and Sirfetch'd crashing into a wall. Clemont figures that Sirfetch'd is probably on the verge of using a new [[move]].

Goh, meanwhile, has managed to exhaust Froakie enough that, after dodging one more Frubble throw, he finally manages to catch it. He then decides to make his way to the Lumiose Gym, and is surprised when Bonnie says the Gym belongs to her big brother.

At the Lumiose Gym, Clemont has figured out that the move Sirfetch'd is trying to pull off is {{m|Meteor Assault}}, its [[signature move]]. In order to help Ash master this impressive move in preparation for his battle the next day, Clemont introduces Ash to his newest [[Clemontic Gear|invention]]; the Pokémon Motion Capture 1, just as Goh and Bonnie arrive. Goh and Clemont greet each other while Bonnie hands Ash some [[Lumiose Galette]]s as a souvenir, before running over to play with Dracovish, finding it cute.

Observing Sirfetch'd via the Pokémon Motion Capture 1, Clemont begins to see where the problem lies. Normally, Meteor Assault involves a {{p|Sirfetch'd}} channeling energy charged within its body to the tip of its sword and striking the opponent with it. However, with Ash's Sirfetch'd, the center of its body wobbles in between the charging and thrusting steps, causing the gathered energy to fall apart as it reaches the unstablized tip of the sword. If this wobbling could be done away with, Meteor Assault could reach its full potential and exhibit incredible power. Bonnie asks what causes the wobbling, and Clemont theorizes that it's the result of Sirfetch'd carrying far more weight now than it did as a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Farfetch'd}}. Dracovish biting down on the leek earlier had stabilized Sirfetch'd's body and allowed it to pull off the move.

Ash takes [[Clembot]]'s flags and starts {{pkmn|training}} with Sirfetch'd to show how to do the thrust the right way. He explains to his Pokémon that when he's battling, he tends to focus just on his opponent and not notice anything else, and if Sirfetch'd can attain the same level of focus, it can wield its sword and shield as if they weren't even there. Suddenly, Dracovish bites down on the leek once again, but instead of letting this disturb it, Sirfetch'd takes advantage of the stability and pulls off a successful Meteor Assault once more. However, the power exhibited by the move is too much for the Pokémon Motion Capture 1 to handle, and it promptly explodes, much like so many of Clemont's other inventions have done in the past. Despite this, everyone is happy for Sirfetch'd's success. Goh compares Dracovish's stabilizing effect on Sirfetch'd to training wheels on a bike: now that the balance has been achieved, aid is no longer necessary. Clemont suggests to Ash that they have a practice battle to test out the results, which Ash happily accepts. Moreover, Ash decides to make it a [[Double Battle]], as he wants to test out Dracovish's speed and durability as well. Clemont accepts this and calls Luxray and Diggersby to join him.

The practice battle begins with Clemont ordering Luxray to target Sirfetch'd with {{m|Wild Charge}} and Diggersby to aim for Dracovish with {{m|Dig}}. Ash prepares the counter by ordering a Meteor Assault and a {{m|Fishious Rend}}, but Dracovish once again becomes distracted by Sirfetch'd's leek and tries to bite it instead. However, it ends up being hit by Wild Charge and Dig before it can do so. Following Ash's advice, Sirfetch'd focuses its attention on its opponent and executes a successful Meteor Assault, taking Luxray out with one blow. However, the move's recoil leaves Sirfetch'd unable to move. Dracovish then suddenly becomes surrounded in a blue glow and charges at Diggersby, whose {{m|Hammer Arm}} counterattack is quickly overpowered, causing it to faint and bringing the practice battle to an end. Clemont identifies the new move as {{m|Dragon Rush}}, and Bonnie figures Dracovish learned it while trying to mimic Meteor Assault. Sirfetch'd then lets Dracovish bite on its leek without getting upset over it, showing that the two have become good friends. As such, Ash decides to use the two in the next day's battle.

Meanwhile, Drasna is having a battle with [[Wikstrom]] at his [[Castle of Chivalry]]. As their {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Escavalier}} exchange blows, they both compliment each other's skills. Wikstrom aims for a finishing blow with {{m|Fell Stinger}}, but is countered by a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} {{m|Heat Wave}}. The knight admires the bond between Drasna and her Altaria as she prepares to show Ash the strength of a Kalos Elite Four member.

FireLordSSBU: /* Reception */ I looked at IGN (because I'm slightly biased towards Violet lol) and checked the ratings and found that the ratings changed, Violet's rating is now also 72%, tying with Scarlet.

'''Pokémon Scarlet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスタースカーレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Scarlet'') and '''Pokémon Violet''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスターバイオレット}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Violet'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation IX]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on November 18, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2022, at 11 P.M. JST via [[Pokémon Press Conference#2022|Pokémon Presents]].

[[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] was revealed during [[Pokémon Presents]] on February 27, 2023. It is a DLC expansion for the games consisting of two parts: [[The Teal Mask]] and [[The Indigo Disk]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The [[player character]], having just moved to the [[Paldea]] [[region]] with their [[mother]], now lives in the small settlement of [[Cabo Poco]] and prepares to start their studies at the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in the region's biggest city, [[Mesagoza]]. The academy's director, [[Clavell]], gives the player a choice of one of three [[starter Pokémon]] and introduces them to their next-door neighbor and the head of the academy's student council, [[Nemona]]. Despite being a {{pkmn|Champion}}-level {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Nemona also takes one of the starter Pokémon in her care in order to train a new team alongside the player. While exploring [[Poco Path]], the player encounters a weak {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, which saves them from a pack of angry {{p|Houndour}}. An academy student named [[Arven]] identifies the Pokémon and hands its [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké]] [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Ball]] to the player.

As the player and Nemona make their way to Mesagoza, she introduces them to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] and arranges for the player to receive a [[Tera Orb]] so they can utilize the phenomenon as well. In Mesagoza, the player saves a girl named [[Penny]] from being harassed by members of [[Team Star]], a group of delinquent academy students accused of bullying. They are also contacted by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, Arven's mother{{sup/9|S}}/father{{sup/9|V}}, who reveals that the Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} the player now travels with was originally under their possession, and asks the player to look after it.

Three days later, Director Clavell initiates the Treasure Hunt, an independent study assignment where the {{tc|student}}s of the academy journey across Paldea in order to find something that they can call their own personal treasure. This allows the player to initiate three different storylines, either simultaneously or one by one.

===Victory Road===
At Nemona's urging, the player sets out to challenge the eight [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] around Paldea. Those who collect the eight necessary [[Badge|Gym Badges]] may take on the Champion Assessment at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} headquarters and obtain the Champion Rank. While the player travels around the region to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish, Nemona frequently shows up to support the player in various ways, most often by battling. The player is also introduced to [[Geeta]], the chairwoman of the [[Paldea League|Paldea Pokémon League]] and the region's strongest Champion-ranked Trainer, the Top Champion, as well as several members of Paldea's [[Elite Four]].

Once the player has all eight Gym Badges, they make their way to the Pokémon League headquarters. After passing an interview test, the player battles and defeats the Elite Four and Geeta, making them a Champion-ranked Trainer. Excited by the player finally becoming her equal, Nemona challenges them to one more battle, in which she holds nothing back. Defeating her in this battle concludes the Victory Road storyline.

===Path of Legends===
Arven tells the player about the five [[giant Pokémon]] known as [[Titan Pokémon]] he has read about that reside in various places over Paldea, and requests the player's help in defeating them and collecting their [[Herba Mystica]], legendary herbs said to have amazing health benefits. During the quest to defeat the Titans, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} gradually regains its old abilities by eating [[sandwich]]es made with the Herba Mystica. Arven eventually also reveals that he wishes to use the Herba Mystica to help heal his partner, {{p|Mabosstiff}}, who was severely injured a while back.

After all the Herba Mystica have been collected, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} has recovered all of its former powers, excluding its ability to {{pkmn|battle}}, and Arven's Mabosstiff makes a full recovery, much to Arven's immense relief. The {{pkmn|Professor}} then requests the player to come see them at their laboratory at the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], with Arven battling the player at his full power to test if they're both ready to take on the most dangerous area in the region. Defeating him concludes the Path of Legends.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
An individual referring to themselves as [[Cassiopeia]] hacks into the player's [[Rotom Phone]] and requests the player's help in taking down Team Star in an operation codenamed "Operation Starfall". Director Clavell, disguised as an academy student and using the pseudonym "Clive", joins the player as they make their way around Paldea to take down the five squads of Team Star at their bases by defeating the boss of each squad. During the player's one-man war against the team, they gradually learn more about the team's history. The team was formed by victims of bullying who, rallied together by their mysterious "big boss", decided to finally confront their bullies. However, when confronted 18 months before the events of the game, the bullies fled without even attempting to fight back and dropped out of the academy. Moreover, the then-deputy director of the academy wiped out all the cases of bullying from the school's records, making Team Star seem like bullies themselves. Blaming themselves for having failed to prevent this from occurring, the entire staff of the academy had resigned as a result, explaining why none of the current staff members know anything about the incident.

Eventually, once all five of Team Star's squads have been taken down, Cassiopeia reveals themselves as the "big boss" of Team Star, having started Operation Starfall because the team cannot continue operating in its current way, and tells the player to confront them in the schoolyard at night. At the academy, Clavell takes off his disguise and claims himself to be Cassiopeia, but after being defeated in a battle, he admits he was simply testing the player to see if they'd be ready to face the real Cassiopeia. The player meets the real Cassiopeia in the schoolyard, who reveals herself to be Penny. After Penny has been defeated, Clavell reveals that the Team Star bosses were watching the battle, and allows the team to continue operating as long as they turn their bases into training facilities for Trainers, which they accept. This concludes ★ Starfall Street ★.

===The Way Home===
After the first three stories have been concluded, the player, Arven, Nemona, and Penny make their way to [[Area Zero]] at the Great Crater of Paldea, following the Professor's request. As the group travels to four research stations around the area to unlock the door to the Professor's laboratory, they encounter primeval{{sup/9|S}}/mechanical{{sup/9|V}} Pokémon, which are revealed to have been brought to the present day from another era by a [[Time travel|time machine]] created by the Professor, including two specimens of {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}. At the laboratory's entrance, some of these [[Paradox Pokémon]] confront the player and their friends, forcing the player to enter the [[Zero Lab]] alone while their friends fight off the Pokémon outside.

Inside the laboratory, the player discovers that the Professor is actually a robot, created by the real Professor before they were killed by the second and more aggressive Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}. The {{wp|artificial intelligence}} within the robot, despite being an exact copy of the Professor's memories and knowledge, opposes the original Professor's plan to keep the time machine running, as it would threaten to destroy Paldea's ecosystem with an overflow of Paradox Pokémon. However, since the AI is programmed to protect the time machine, the player is forced to battle it against its will. Once the AI has been defeated, the player is rejoined by their friends, and a program called the Paradise Protection Protocol takes over the robot Professor, as well as locking all [[Poké Ball]]s not marked with the Professor's ID. Finally regaining its ability to battle, the player's Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} confronts and defeats the other member of its kind, ending the Paradise Protection Protocol's hold over the AI. The AI, however, recognizes that its systems are so integrally connected with the time machine that the machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present. As such, the AI chooses to travel to another era using the time machine, bidding the player and their friends farewell as it disappears. After the time machine permanently shuts down, the player and their friends decide to take a slow and scenic route back to Mesagoza, concluding The Way Home and the main game.

===Post-game===
With the player and their friends returning to normal school life, Nemona suggests hosting a battle tournament at the school to celebrate the player's new Champion status, requesting for Geeta to take part in it as well as she is the chairwoman of the academy's school board. While Geeta says she's busy with her duties as the Pokémon League chairwoman, she agrees to take part if the player takes her place at inspecting all the [[Gym Leader]]s to see if they're still worthy of keeping their positions. As such, the player returns to each Gym and takes on the eight Gym Leaders once more in a series of [[rematch]]es.

After the player has finished the rematches and reported their inspection results to Geeta, the tournament, dubbed the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], is finally conducted. The player defeats Arven in the first round, the biology teacher [[Jacq]] in the second round, the battle studies teacher [[Dendra]] in the third round, and Geeta in the finals, officially making them the strongest Trainer at the academy. Clavell then declares that the tournament will not be a one-time event and will henceforth be held regularly, concluding the post-game story.

==Features==
The game is set in the [[Paldea]] [[region]] and is an open-world game in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order without Pokémon's levels being scaled to the player's achievements. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously, enabling [[trade|trading]] and [[Pokémon battle|battling]] between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas together.

===Terastal phenomenon===
{{main|Terastal phenomenon}}
The Terastal phenomenon is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Paldea region to power up and become bejeweled using the [[Tera Orb]]. After Terastalizing, a Pokémon's natural type attribute is either enhanced or altered according to their innate Tera Type.

===Paradox Pokémon===
{{main|Paradox Pokémon}}
The Paradox Pokémon appear for the first time as "unidentified creatures"<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/</ref>. {{p|Great Tusk}} is described in the [[Scarlet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Scarlet, while {{p|Iron Treads}} is described in the [[Violet Book]], appearing in Pokémon Violet. They are a group of unique Pokémon that came from the ancient past in Pokémon Scarlet and the future in Pokémon Violet.

===Gyms===
Scarlet and Violet feature [[Gym]]s, just like most of the other core series titles. In Paldea, the Gym Leaders are [[Katy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Brassius]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Iono]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Kofu]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Ryme]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Tulip]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Grusha]] ({{t|Ice}}). For the first time in the series, the player is able to challenge the Gyms in any order they wish.

===Elite Four and Champion===
For the first time in a non-remake game since [[Generation IV]], the Elite Four can only be challenged in a fixed order. The members are [[Rika]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Poppy]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Larry]] ({{t|Flying}}), and [[Hassel]] ({{t|Dragon}}). After defeating all four Elite Four members, the player faces the Top Champion, [[Geeta]], who uses a team consisting of a variety of types.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon]]===
Most version-exclusive Pokémon can be encountered and caught by players of the opposite version who join a [[Union Circle]] or [[Tera Raid Battle]], except for Koraidon and Miraidon, which require trading. {{p|Armarouge}} and {{p|Ceruledge}} can be obtained through raids, even solo raids in the opposite version that their evolution items can be obtained in, but not a Union Circle, and vice versa for Paradox Pokémon, not counting limited-time event Tera Raids.

==Compatibility==
The games are compatible with Pokémon GO through Bluetooth LE as of version 1.2.0 (released on February 27, 2023). Players can send postcards as well as [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s from their phone to the games.

Each time a postcard is sent, wild {{p|Vivillon}}'s pattern will change depending on the location where the Postcard came from. This effect lasts 24 hours in real-time, after which the pattern of wild Vivillon will be reset, and the player will be able to receive another Postcard.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]] as of HOME's version 3.0.0{{tt|*|Released on May 30, 2023}}. This allows them to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were [[transfer]]red into Pokémon HOME. Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Scarlet and Violet save files on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] and a [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Paldea Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Patches are set to be released with each iteration of the [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC which will increase the number of Pokémon that can be transfered in Scarlet and Violet and those Pokémon will also be compatible with the base game even if the player has not purchased the DLC. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon and their respective regional evolved forms are also compatible.

When a compatible Pokémon from another game first enters these sets of games, its moveset is changed to its four most recent level-up moves by default (though the player can make alterations). Additionally, any compatible Pokémon brought from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} will be shown in a [[Strange Ball]] due to their invalid Poké Ball IDs not being otherwise recognised in these games.

===Unusable moves===
{{main|List of moves by availability (Generation IX)}}
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, many moves, including {{cat|Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|those that are usable in Sword and Shield}}, are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game. In lieu of their usual descriptions, most of these moves instead have the following generic description: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''"

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Monday, February 27, we released the version 1.2.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience.

<h4>Newly Added Features</h4>
* The Nintendo eShop page for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-scarlet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016943-switch/ Pokémon Scarlet] game or the [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pokemon-violet-the-hidden-treasure-of-area-zero-70070000016942-switch/ Pokémon Violet] game can now be accessed via the main menu. For more details on The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, please visit [https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/dlc_part_1_2/ The Pokémon Company].
* Trainers can now enjoy Online Competitions and Friendly Competitions in the Battle Stadium, and entries are now open for an official Online Competition: Paldea Prologue.
* Players can now [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61360 connect their games to Pokémon GO].

<h4>Feature Adjustments</h4>
* Additional functionality has been added for Pokémon Boxes:
** From a Pokémon’s summary, players can now change Pokémon’s nicknames, markings, held items, and mark- or Ribbon-related titles, as well as reorder moves, have Pokémon remember or forget moves, and use TMs.
** Players can also now swap out held items by pressing the Y Button when in the '''Held Items''' view.
** Players are now able to select '''All Boxes''' while moving Pokémon or items in the '''Party and Boxes''' view and '''Held Items''' view.
** When in the '''Battle Team''' view, Pokémon in your Boxes that are assigned to a Battle Team will now have their icons displayed in a darker hue if those Pokémon are members of the Battle Team that is currently being displayed.
* The News screen will be displayed when you connect to the internet from the main menu, just as it is when connecting to the internet from the Poké Portal.

<h4>Bug Fixes</h4>
<h5>Tera Raid Battles</h5>
* A bug could prevent an opposing Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge from visually reflecting damage dealt by certain moves (such as Play Rough) or damage dealt at the same time that certain status conditions are applied, causing the Tera Pokémon’s HP gauge to fluctuate in an unusual manner. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused all Pokémon on your side to faint at once despite their HP gauges indicating that they still have HP could occur in black crystal Tera Raid Battles against Pokémon with the Mightiest Mark. This has been fixed.
* A bug that temporarily prevented a player from entering any input into the game could occur if a Tera Pokémon took certain actions while the player was choosing the target of their move. This has been fixed.
* Errors could occur when someone connecting to a Tera Raid Battle saw a different Pokémon displayed on their screen than what the host saw. This has been fixed.
* A bug could occur that caused players joining a Tera Raid Battle from the Tera Raid Battles search screen to be brought to a Tera Raid Battle against a Pokémon different from the one they saw displayed. This has been fixed.
* A bug that caused Tera Raid Battle crystals to stop appearing for a set amount of time could occur under certain circumstances. This has been fixed.

<h5>Battles</h5>
* Type matchups against Pokémon that have fainted will no longer appear when selecting a move or target during Double Battles.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its {{a|Illusion}} Ability could have been identified as a Zoroark by using the '''Check Target''' option.
* We have fixed a bug in which the type matchups of moves targeting a Zoroark that had Terastallized and was disguised as another Pokémon via its Illusion Ability would display based on the type of the Pokémon that Zoroark was disguised as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
* We have fixed a bug in which the stats of a Dondozo with a Tatsugiri in its mouth increased when Dondozo used Order Up when the move should have been negated (for example, by an opponent using Protect).
* We have fixed a bug in which the effects of Destiny Bond failed to activate if a Pokémon Terastallized the turn after using Destiny Bond and then fainted.

<h5>Other</h5>
* We have addressed an issue that made the game prone to forcibly closing at certain locations. As a result of this fix, there may be fewer Pokémon and people displayed in certain towns or in the wild.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon that is not a part of the Paldea Pokédex was displayed as being registered to the Paldea Pokédex after being obtained through a Link Trade.
* Certain actions prevented the main character’s expressions from changing until the game was closed and reopened. This has been fixed.
* A bug occurred for some players after Ranked Battles Season 1, wherein visiting the Ranked Battles screen immediately after the season’s results had been calculated caused an error right after these players received their rewards. Following this error, players were unable to participate in any further Ranked Battles. This has been fixed.
* We have fixed a bug in which a player may not have received the Master Rank Ribbon if they had registered several Battle Teams but had not used the Battle Team in the first slot when winning Ranked Battles in the Master Ball Tier.
* We have fixed a bug in which a Pokémon you caught may not have listened to your commands in accordance with what is written in the profile app (“Pokémon caught at Lv. XX or below will listen to your commands”) if that Pokémon was Link Traded back to you from another player.
* We have fixed a bug in which new information may not have been added to your Pokédex after you received a Shiny Pokémon or a Pokémon caught by a Trainer who plays in a different language via Surprise Trade if you already had that species registered to your Pokédex.
* Objects such as Poké Balls could have been displayed in certain areas unintentionally. This has been fixed.
* Passersby are no longer displayed during certain battles that take place in towns during the main story.
* A number of other bug fixes have been implemented.
|
* The TM Preview image for {{m|Acrobatics}} mistakenly had remnants of a developer debugging menu, which was fixed.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230308132800/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1633457907777015809</ref>

Thank you for playing the Pokémon series.

On Wednesday, April 19, we released the version 1.3.0 update for the Nintendo Switch exclusive software titles Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.

<h4>Support for Trainers Who Caught an Egg Instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in Tera Raid Battles</h4>
Trainers who caught an Egg instead of Walking Wake or Iron Leaves in a Tera Raid Battle before updating to version 1.2.0 of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet were affected by a bug that prevented them from catching either of these Pokémon.

This bug has been fixed, and Trainers who caught such Eggs instead of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves will now be able to catch these Pokémon.

In addition, the Tera Raid Battle events for these two Pokémon will return around the same time as this game update. Visit this page for details on the Tera Raid Battle events.

<h4>Feature Adjustments</h4>
A change has been made to the deadline for entries for Friendly Competitions, which are found in the Online Competitions section of the Battle Stadium.

*Before this change: Entries were allowed until the Friendly Competition began.
*After this change: Entries will be allowed until the Friendly Competition ends.

<h4>Bug Fixes</h4>
<h5>Link Battles</h5>

*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where selecting Swap in just before the selection timer reached zero could fail to switch in the selected Pokémon and subsequently cause switching — and the battle itself — to act abnormally.
*Fixed a bug in Link Battles where once the remaining time for the battle was under one minute, it would no longer be displayed where it was supposed to.
*Fixed a bug that occurred in Link Battles where, depending on the move being used at the time a Pokémon fainted, the amount of time a Trainer received to select their next Pokémon was reduced.
Battles

*Fixed a bug where the {{a|Cud Chew}} Ability would trigger again once every two turns after it triggered the first time, contrary to what is written in the Ability description.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark Terastallized while using its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon. On the Check Status screen, the Terastallized Zoroark’s type would display as the original type of the Pokémon it had disguised itself as, rather than Zoroark’s Tera Type.
*Fixed a bug that occurred when Zoroark used its Illusion Ability to disguise itself as another Pokémon that had already Terastallized. This bug caused Zoroark’s type on the Check Status screen to incorrectly display as the Tera Type of the Pokémon Zoroark had disguised itself as.
*Fixed a bug in Double Battles with moves that cause stat changes for the Pokémon using the moves. This bug caused the stat changes to incorrectly happen twice if the user hit two opposing Pokémon with the move while an opposing Pokémon was behind a Substitute.

<h5>Pokémon GO Connectivity</h5>

*Fixed the main issue causing the game to crash on the screen used to pair with a Pokémon GO account.

<h5>Other</h5>

*Fixed a bug affecting Trainers who received Hisuian Zoroark from the Mystery Gift screen as a special early-purchase bonus for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero for Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet without first having seen Zoroark in their game. This bug caused Zoroark to be incorrectly displayed as registered in these Trainers’ Pokédexes.
Other select bug fixes have been implemented.

|-
| 1.3.1
| May 24, 2023
| 6.7 GB
|
* Fixed a problem that caused unintended behavior in private official tournaments in which certain users were invited to participate.

Notes:
* v1.0.0 is present on the physical game cards, and is playable on a Switch whose internet connection remains off.

FireLordSSBU: /* List of Trainer classes */

{{redirect|Trainer|other uses|Trainer (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Bandai Jumbo5 Peeled.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Generation I]] artwork of Pokémon Trainers flying on their Pokémon]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

Pokémon Trainer is a broad term for any person who owns Pokémon, including {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeders}}. However, the term is more often used to refer to people on a {{pkmn|journey}} to collect [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and enter the [[Pokémon League]].

==Background==
[[File:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|250px|left|Trainers from different classes, from left to right: a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}, a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], to travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow—when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in the [[Pokémon anime]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

Above the level of Gym Leaders and island kahunas are the [[Elite Four]] members and the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. There are also Trainers who serve as {{cat|Battle facility leaders|leaders}} for [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] not recognized by the Pokémon League, such as the [[Frontier Brain]]s of the [[Battle Frontier]] and the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s of the [[Battle Maison]]. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for them to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s and {{pkmn|poacher}}s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income. Several [[Eevee users]] are seen having to take up part-time jobs in order to obtain the finances needed to support themselves, with the latter being unable to go into retirement using just the funds from Pokémon training.

==In the core series==
===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''' are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

All Trainer classes have overworld or field sprites that sometimes may be used for non-Trainers. Unlike in-battle sprites, overworld sprites may be shared between multiple Trainer classes such as the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} overworld sprite, which is shared with {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s in Generation IV. Notable Trainer classes, such as Gym Leaders, have unique sprites between each individual one. Trainer classes can be combined in certain [[Double Battle]]s; for example a {{tc|Crush Girl}} and a {{tc|Black Belt}} can team up to form a {{tc|Crush Kin}}; however, special class names are not created for Trainers involved in a [[Multi Battle]].

Starting from [[Generation III]], the [[player character|player]] assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation.

===As a Trainer class===
[[File:Red HGSS battle.png|thumb|250px|The Trainer class as it appears in-battle]]
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer" until [[Generation VI]], in which the full title "Pokémon Trainer" is written out) is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena Trainers the player will face. This class is used for all [[rival]]s (except {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}}, who are instead outright referred to as rivals), every opponent in link battles and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], {{DL|Battle Tree|special Trainers}} in the [[Battle Tree]], and {{DL|Battle Agency|Bosses}} of the [[Battle Agency]], as well as the following characters:

* {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}: {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Cal}}, and {{ga|Carrie}}
* {{game|Emerald}}: {{Steven}}
* {{game|Platinum}}: the [[Stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]])
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}: Red
* {{game|Black and White|s}}: [[Cynthia]]
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}: Cynthia, [[Colress]]{{tt|*|Before he is revealed to be a member of Team Plasma, as well as after Team Plasma's defeat}}, [[Rood]], N, [[Alder]], [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]
* {{g|X and Y}}: [[AZ]], [[Emma|Essentia]], and [[Malva]]{{tt|*|During the post-game Looker sidequest}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "{{sbw|Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}}" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|members}} {{p|Ivysaur|of}} {{p|Charizard|the}} [[evolution]]ary families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others. While he was absent in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], he returned in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], along an alternate female version based on {{ga|Leaf}}.

====Trophy information====
[[File:Pokémon Trainer 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Pokémon Trainer trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
[[File:Pokémon Trainer XY 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Pokémon Trainer X&Y trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Two trophies appear in the 3DS version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], one of the Brawl character and one of the player characters from {{g|X and Y}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer=====
'''NA''': ''Pop quiz! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris, and Ash all have in common? That's right—they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is the same. Back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, [[Pokémon Theme|he fought to be the very best—like no one ever was. To smash them was his real test—to launch them was his cause!]]''

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same. He fought to be the very best - like no one ever was - back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To smash them was his real test - to launch them was his cause.''

=====Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y) (NA)/Trainers (PAL)=====
'''NA''': ''We suppose it's possible you've missed out up till now, so let us explain: in Pokémon, you set out from your hometown on a Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... No, wait—no spoilers! ''

'''PAL''': ''If you've been living under a rock for some years now, let us explain. In Pokémon, you start from your home town on your own Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... Well, we won't spoil it for you.''

===Play It! series===
In the introduction of [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says that she and the [[player character]] are Pokémon Trainers. However, they play the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} rather than train Pokémon. In the lesson "What's a Trainer card?", Julie mentions that [[Bill]] is a Trainer as well.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Pokémon Trainers. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー」 ''"Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."''
* It is stated in the {{pkmn|anime}} that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10; however, this is not the case in other media as some Trainers are obviously below the minimum age, such as the Trainer classes {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|Tuber}}, and {{tc|Preschooler}}. Some Preschoolers in the [[Battle Subway]] emphasize the fact that they are four years old. However, in the anime episode ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentions that young kids are allowed to have battles for fun.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], the word "Trainer" is not capitalized. However, it is capitalized in later games.
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon training was a very dangerous sport, as the mere act of training a Pokémon can result in severe injuries or even death. It also mentions that various men try to go out and become a Pokémon trainer at age 10 (which was considered the legal age of adulthood), and there was a high dropout rate regarding whether they become skilled Trainers that afterwards they come across as incompetent. It is also implied that this is the reason why many professional workplaces are primarily staffed by women.
* [[Pokémon X and Y]] introduced the most new Trainer classes of any [[core series]] game, with 47.
* {{game|Crystal}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} introduced the fewest new Trainer classes of any core series games, with one each.
** [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] introduced the fewest new Trainer classes of any first game of a [[generation]], with 7.
