FlitPix: Basic page structure, core series info for Gens 1-3. At this point I'm still debating if this should be a Multiplayer article or a Connectivity article. I intend for this to be mainspaced at some point but it's definitely not ready yet

'''Multiplayer''' is a major feature in the [[Pokémon games]]. Every [[core series]] and [[side series]] game has some level of multiplayer functionality, and many [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] have some as well.

==In the core series games==
===Generation I===
In the [[Generation I]] games, all multiplayer functionality is performed at the Cable Club, which is located at the right-hand counter in any [[Pokémon Center]] when two games are connected using a [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Nintendo 3DS]] wireless communications.

After both players' games are linked, [[trade]]s are performed in the '''Trade Center''', while [[link battle]]s are performed in the '''Colosseum'''. {{game|Yellow}}'s Cable Club has an updated '''[[Pokémon Yellow Version#Colosseum 2|Colosseum 2]]''', which contains three different [[Rule variants#Pokémon Yellow|Cups]].

===Generation II===
The [[Generation II]] games have largely the same multiplayer functionality as the previous generation. The Cable Club is now located on the second floor of any Pokémon Center, with the Trade Center and Colosseum now having separate counters.

In addition, the [[Time Capsule]] allows for trading with the Generation I games.

===Generation III===
====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In addition to the multiplayer functionality found in the previous generation, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow up to four players to [[mix records]] at the far right counter, called the '''Record Corner''' in Ruby and Sapphire, and the Cable Club in Emerald. All games may use a Game Link Cable, while Emerald may use a [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] (if not communicating with Ruby and Sapphire).

The [[Berry Blender]] can be used with up to four players to make more effective [[Pokéblocks]].

Up to four players can participate in [[Pokémon Contest#Multiplayer Contests|Pokémon Contests]] together.

====Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald====
{{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} introduce the [[Union Room]], which can be accessed using a Wireless Adapter. It allows for link battles and text chat.

Like previous games, the Trade Center and Colosseum can still be accessed, now located at the right-hand counter, named the '''Direct Corner''' in FireRed and LeafGreen and the Cable Club in Emerald. A Wireless Adapter or Game Link Cable can be used here. If a Wireless Adapter is connected, [[Berry Crush]] can also be played.

In Pokémon Emerald only, the [[Battle Tower (Generation III)|Battle Tower]] supports [[Multi Battle]]s. Two players can team up in this mode using either a Wireless Adapter or Game Link Cable.

===Generation IV===

===Generation V===

===Generation VI===

===Generation VII===
====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====

====Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====

===Generation IX===

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)===
===Pokémon Stadium===
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
===My Pokémon Ranch===
===Pokéwalker===
===Pokémon Dream World===

==In the spin-off games==
===Mobile===
====Pokémon GO====
====Pokémon Masters EX====
====Pokémon UNITE====
====Pokémon Shuffle====
====Pokémon Duel====
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
===Pokkén Tournament===
===Pokémon Conquest===
===Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS===
[[Watt]]s can be sent to another [[Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS]] via [[infrared]].

List of battle music themes

2025-06-25T03:20:53Z

FlitPix: Add PLA and SV tracks. Add spoiler template.

{{spoilers}}
These are the '''music themes used in [[Pokémon battle]]s'''.

==In the core series games==
In all generations, some Trainers have their own themes instead of the Trainer battle theme. They usually include [[Rival]]s, [[Gym Leader]]s, the [[Elite Four]], and {{pkmn|Champion}}s.

From {{game|Crystal}} onwards, some [[Legendary Pokémon]] have their own themes instead of the wild Pokémon theme.

List of battle music themes

FlitPix: /* Pokémon Sword and Shield */ Add content

These are the '''music themes used in [[Pokémon battle]]s'''.

==In the core series games==
In all generations, some Trainers have their own themes instead of the Trainer battle theme. They usually include [[Rival]]s, [[Gym Leader]]s, the [[Elite Four]], and {{pkmn|Champion}}s.

From {{game|Crystal}} onwards, some [[Legendary Pokémon]] have their own themes instead of the wild Pokémon theme.

== How about... ==

Instead of the limit being 3 edits per day, and users being warned for going over the limit, how about we do some work on the site that will make it so that once you've done 3 edits to the <code>User:</code> name space, the edit button disappears for the rest of the day? Think about it. It'll take a lot of work, but it'll be for the better in my opinion, because then, we won't have to worry about anyone going over the limit ever again. Discuss.

== Just to clarify for the newbies ==

I think the policypage needs a brief mention of the fact that all subpages are included under this.

:I was wondering this too. As of this day, I've included them into the 3-edit limit, but it'd be better if they weren't included (you can't preview all elements on different parts of the site in the Preview view). '''UltimateSephiroth''' ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|about me]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|chat]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]]) 13:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
::I've already discussed this a bit, but not with the entire EB. My personal opinion is that it shouldn't count towards the limit; like Ultimate mentioned, sometimes you can's simply Show Preview.
::However. If someone is editing their user CSS page more then three times a day for multiple days in a row, then it's worthy of a warning. I mean, no user should ever need to update their CSS that much; they're the only ones who can see it, normally you just change your layout and you're done with it.
::If someone has to take five edits to finish their CSS, no big deal. If they update it every two days with five edits, then I'd consider that abuse, and warn them accordingly. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 07:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Depending on the situation, the rule may be relaxed a bit.
:::I should mention though, if you preview a parameter like so,
:::<code><nowiki>{{{3|input}}}</nowiki></code>
:::you can emulate the template's behavior with an input, allowing you to preview the results. A bit more work, but it can save you work (and edits) in the long run.
:::If you get warned for userspace abuse and you feel that it was an unavoidable edit, say so; not every user will check what you actually edited, if you've done a lot of edits in a row. Explaining the situation helps a lot.
:::And if you're having trouble to the point that you need to make tons of edits, maybe you should try asking for help on it, too. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 18:47, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

== Out of Pure Curiousity ==

Is there a certain amount of userspace articles that you can have? I've been wanting to know this for at least several days, but I kept forgetting to ask.

== 3 or 4 Edits? ==

I've been seeing so many changes to this rule. I've gotten in trouble for make four edits to my userspace, and then someone said that making four was fine. After that, I read that Bulbapedia no longer allows four edits but, rather, three again. So which is it?

:Neither. The limit itself has been abolished. However, if the majority of your edits are to your userpage, or user subpages, or if you do exceed around 6 in a short period of time. You can be warned. Keep the userspace edits to a minimum, and there's little to worry about. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 02:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

:In the past, every second user had pages and pages and pages of unencyclopedic crap. This took a huge toll on the server (every single tiny edit was saved forever and ever), and by disallowing edits here, the creation and growth of our Pokémon encyclopedia has improved a bazillion percent. It's nothing personal against anyone, but we are ''not'' Facebook or Myspace, we are Pokémon fans building a reference point about our hobby, interest and (in some extreme cases) obsession. The "don't edit lots" rule is similar, as we encourage you to contribute to articles instead of making your own personal webpage. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 08:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm asking because I noticed that my main user page is about 22,000 bytes (guh wow x_X must have gone overboard experimenting with wikicode or something...), and I want to make sure I'm not being a bad girl. :( Thanks in advance~ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 02:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

== I'm beggining to see a pattern . . . ==

Despite the Welcome template making it obvious to keep Userspace edits to a minimum I have a feeling it hasn't been obvious enough. It hasn't been too accesive recently but I have noticed that new users despite the info in the Welcome template users still seem to overlook it. For example when I was new I could hardly understand what to think of the userspace policy for a while. ({{tt|If you see my recent edits you'll see I have certainly changed that|"Now time to edit the mainspace" or "OK, WAY TOO MANY USERSPACE EDITS!!!! TO THE MAINSPACE!!!" Or whatever}}) Is there something we can do, to lightly, but very obviously let new users know that a majority of edits shall be to the mainspace '''AND''' that they shouldn't just be making random mainspace edits so they can edit their userspace. What I mean by the latter is that we tell them that their goal shouldn't be to edit their userpage and that it should be to help Bulbapedia. We could also tell them about the forums. --[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 22:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
:We keep a user in abuse when they create an account and when they make many mainspace edits, they could be taken out of it. Though I don't know how this could be implemented to make it automatic.

== Minimum to first edit your userspace? ==

There's a message that I must make a certain number of mainspace edits before I am allowed to edit my userspace, but I can't find any information about this (especially not a specific number) anywhere. I've been working on episode pages as I come across them, but some edits are confined to Talk pages, as I feel gaining consensus is more important than going in and making an edit. What is required before I'm allowed to create a user space for myself? -[[User:Disinfect|Disinfect]] 23:13, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
:That information is apparently withheld deliberately to discourage new users from simply attempting to fulfill a certain amount of mainspace edits.

::MisterE13's got it right. If we revealed the threshold amount of edits, then people would just make exactly that many edits and then edit their userpage a billion times and never contribute to the mainspace again. I know not everyone does this, but too many people ''did'', and that spoiled it for everyone :/ just keep finding things to edit and surely you will get the priveledge soon. [[Special:WantedPages]], [[:Category:Stubs]], and [[:Category:Articles needing improvement]] are good places to look if you want to edit but don't know where to start. :) --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 00:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::I understand the logic behind it, but it's rather discouraging that it's not an automated process (you have to get noticed by an admin basically), and without a Talk page describing your areas of knowledge you seem unprofessional. There are tons of policies in place to prevent userspace abuse, I guess I just worry that people with these privileges aren't don't experience the policies they've created, and thus don't understand the mindset of not being able to establish yourself until you've established yourself.

== Define day ==

That may sound incredibly ridiculous at first glance, but "day" can be defined many different ways. Is it a 24 hour period of time? 12 hours? Until midnight? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 07:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Per day is a 24-hour period, and we use the UTC clock at the top of the site generally. Basically, if you've got all your edits listed as being on the same date in the page history, then it's considered to be within one day. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 11:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

== Sidepages ==

I recently made a sidepage to my userpage, and I was wondering, am I allowed to edit my actual userpage three times per day and my sidepage three time per day, or just only three times per day collectively. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 17:16, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== CSS ==

The system doesn't let you preview your monobook.css file when you edit it, so that shouldn't be counted towards the total (or should only be counted as a single edit). Or maybe there should be a way to preview the CSS before saving. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 19:59, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

:Generally, edits to CSS pages aren't as big of a deal, because depending on the edit, it can't always be previewed (like Umeko said, it can be previewed; the only times you won't see it are if the CSS is affecting only specific pages, or if you're coding it incorrectly). So long as you're not making five CSS edits every day for no apparent reason, you probably won't get in trouble over it. Just don't get in a habit of changing your CSS often, it's generally the sort of thing you only need to change on rare occasions. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Okay, so if you edit one of your subpages, it counts towards your 3 edits a day. But what if that subpage actually contributes to Bulbapedia? Say someone was working on a new template for the mainspace articles, and decided to make it in the userspace first, or someone wanted to create an article about something but had to keep it in the userspace to be approved before it was mainspaced. Would editing subpages like that count towards your 3 edits, or would that be ignored for those pages since they do/will contribute to the mainspace? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 18:57, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it doesn't count towards your three edits if it's meant for the mainspace. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

== 3 Edits ==

This seems a tad vaque to me.. obviously it should NEVER be a top priority to edit your userpage.. but what about saying something on someone's talk page about something productive for the mainspace? What happens if you exceed three edits in this case? Do you still get a warning? Oh, and what about welcoming new users? Does that count? In the past, it was just required that you have more mainspace edits than userspace edits and that you don't edit your userspace a whole lot in a short period of time.. I'm just trying to get used to this because I didn't know it had been changed back to three edits a day.. it's not like I want to edit the userspace real bad.. it's more out of pure curiosity..

== Talk pages and the sandbox ==
It should mention somewhere that your User talk page and the Bulbapedia sandbox cannot be used by non-autoconfirmed users as a supplement to creating a userpage. I've seen new users write "about me" and try to add usertags to their own talkpage, which shouldn't be allowed as it avoids the userspace block for new users. Same deal with the sandbox.

:The user talk part is already mentioned (second bullet point in the ''Circumventing the userspace policy'' section), as well as on trom's [[User:The dark lord trombonator/Talk page policy|draft update]] for the talk page policy.

== "Contract" ==

I don't know who came up with that, but calling the policy a "contract" sounds contrived, trite, and pretentious. It's a policy on a wiki<nowiki>:</nowiki> nothing more, nothing less. Calling it a "contract" that you enter into by creating a Bulbapedia account or whatever just makes the staff sound like assholes. Anyone mind if I change that? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 17:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
:Poli, I can see where you are coming from, the way I see it though (feel free to disregard, as I am not staff or anything), it kind of is a contract. One is agreeing to abide by the rules in return for getting the privilege to edit in the userspace on the 'pedia. After all, it is a privilege that is earned, and one that is not a right (after all, it is something that can, and frequently is, taken away by the staff when it is abused). It is not signed or legally binding or anything, but there are consequences that follow if you do not play by the rules. I do not think that it makes the staff sound like a-holes at all (but again, that is just an opinion, take it for what it is worth). Just my two cents. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 17:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

::Yes, I understand that... However, calling it a "contract" comes across as unfriendly and overly formal. It's a rule. If you break it, you can lose your privileges.

==Page creation==

I can't create my userpage, but there is a page I want to create that is disputable for being in the mainspace, actualy I think it would go better in the bulbapedia namespace.

[[User:Wildgoose|Wild]][[User talk:Wildgoose|goose]]-[[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|The friendly goose in town!]] 00:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

== How does this work? ==

I've seen many mainspace pages that were first created under the name "User:Someone/Article's name" and later moved. So,
* any user can create a page to work on before it is moved?
* to move it is up to a staff member or can the user decide when the article is ready?
* the articles must be intended for the mainspace or can they be Pokémon-related informative pages that don't exactly fit with Bulbapedia? (for example, if the user wanted a BP page to look different, with other templates, can they be tested in the userspace?)
* what's a sandbox?

::In the order that they were asked:
::# Yes, but we'd prefer notable pages get made in the mainspace anyway. In particular, making a near-empty future mainspace page in the userspace just so that you can say you've started it is extremely frowned upon (yes, that does happen).
::# It should be staff members deciding, because the only pages there should be ones of dubious notability (see above point).
::# You can create pages that "don't fit with Bulbapedia" in your userspace. That said, if they don't fit in the mainspace, they're not going to be mainspaced, and they fall under the three-edits-per-day (Which, BTW, is a total for all userspace pages. It's not three edits per page per day). New templates for mainspace pages are most certainly allowed, and may be excluded from the edit limit at staff discression. They are also given extra leeway with regards to the preview button, as they are difficult to preview. That said, don't go crazy with it. We're pretty lenient for prototyping/testing improvements to the mainspace, but don't abuse it.

==A problem with the policy==
I've read the policy, and I agree with you making this in order for bulbapedia to grow faster. At the beggining, it looked all ok, but then I noticed a slight problem with the policy that may lead to a slow growth of this wiki, exactly the opposite of our objective. Well, the problem is: at the second point you say that the daily edits to the mainspace must always be more than the userspace ones. It looks ok, but if you analyse it well, you'll notice that this way users that want to make a massive amount of edits to their userspace throughout some days may instead of making a massive amount of edits to the mainspace in one day (therefore making the wiki better in no time), just make a short amount of edits to the mainspace a day, in order to save some of them for the next days, so that they don't violate the second point if they run out of ideas for the mainspace. The mainspace edits will be the same, but they will take longer to appear. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 12:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
:Hence the word "daily". Your edits in the mainspace must be more than your userspace per day.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
What do you mean? I said that due to that, some people may save their mainspace edits, in order to have plenty of them to use just when they edit their userspace, therefore making the progress slow. Or are you saying that it's not "During a day, there must be always more mainspace edits than userspace ones", as I tought, and that in fact it is "The number of userspace edits in a day cannot ever surpass the total number of edits"? If it's not that, then I don't understand what you've just said, and the problem didn't disappear. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 16:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
:The point is, people in general tend to edit the mainspace for a little bit and then just stop and edit nothing but their userpage. We need people to maintain their mainspace edits even while they are 'focusing' on their userspace. It is daily, and if people are saving up their mainspace edits until they want to edit the userspace, then frankly that's a terrible attitude. That said, we're usually pretty lenient. If you make a hundred mainspace edits one day we're likely to just let it slide if you don't make any but keep editing your userspace for a short time. The rule needs to be strict for the people who think Bulbapedia is Facebook and do the bare minimum in the mainspace. For people that are regular contributors to the mainspace we're a lot more lenient.

:Long story short, if you, on average, edit the mainspace a lot and the userspace infrequently then as long as you stick to the limit you don't really need to worry. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

==A doubt about the exceptions==
Do the usertags count as an exception? I mean, can I over edit a usertag in my userspace, and still not break the rule because it is intended for the mainspace? [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 16:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
:Since the content from it ends up in the userspace anyway, generally they're not an exception, although we're likely to be a bit more lenient towards them. Unfortunately it has to be this way because otherwise people try to abuse it to get around the policy. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

== Draft articles ==

Why would you need to go to the Editorial Board and ask permission before editing a draft article? I would think that it would just be common sense that that wouldn't count towards userspace edits. [[User:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|Emmette Hernandez Coleman]] ([[User talk:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|talk]]) 05:34, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
:It's basically to check that it is actually considered a potential mainspace article and not a personal page. Technically, Editorial Board members have to decide that a page can be exempt from the limit. In practice, it's rare for people to actually ask and we don't hold that against them if it's valid. But if they don't and we think the subject is definitely not important enough for a page, we will treat it as a personal page and enforce the edit limit. If it's obviously notable and you're not sure if we have enough info, go ahead (though please don't make a page with just a name and a picture, that's a waste of time). If it's obviously notable and there's a lot of info, then generally it's better to make it in the mainspace. If you're not sure, then it's best to ask a staff member and keep it under the limit until you get an answer, just to be on the safe side. We'll also assume good faith unless it becomes a habit, or our decision gets ignored, so for most users it'll never be an issue anyway.

If I made a talk page and saved it, does user talk page count along with user page and user sub pages? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 04:05, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
:If you're editing your talk page to add something like a user template, then that should probably be treated as a userpage edit. However, if you're editing a user talk page to ask a bulbapedia related question, it's fine. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 04:09, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

== Moving pages ==

Does moving userspace pages count as a userspace edit or not? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 07:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

== "Editorial board" ==

The link should be {{bp|Editorial Board}} instead of {{bp|Editorial board}}, due to the board on the page name being capitalized. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 20:50, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

== FAQ pages ==

It says that they aren't allowed for a self-explanatory reason, but I don't quite understand why or what that is trying to block. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 18:15, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

===Forum Link===
Instead of saying that a person should click on the Bulbawiki forum link, shouldn't it say to click on the other forum link? The Bulbawiki link leads to the wiki forum, the Bulbagarden link leads to the forum mainpage, which is much clearer. [[User:Volcronaperson|_Volcronaperson_]] 19:50, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

==Moving Userspace Pages==
I'm asking the same thing as Cinday123 did earlier. Does moving userspace pages count as a userspace edit, or does it not? [[User:MH|MH]] ([[User talk:MH|talk]]) 15:58, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
:Before I answer, I want to advise to please use the + button at the top of a talk page (between the edit and history) to add a new section. This makes it easier to title your thread. I have given it an appropriate title here.
:As for moving userspace pages, there should be no reason to move them around. With that said, in terms of general editing, use discretion when dealing with userspace. From my personal experience, if you're working with pages that are intended for mainspace, sometimes more leniency is given in regards to the userspace policy provided the page or material (such as in a sandbox) qualifies as a mainspace candidate. The policy is meant more for people editing their user pages, though it's not exclusive to that. If you have any concerns that you might be violating the userpsace policy, bring it up with any of the [[Bulbapedia:Staff|staff]] and get someone's opinion. I personally have worked on pages in userspace because it was preferred they not go live until they were ready for inclusion, and I have at times gone over three edits. It's not a golden rule, it's a general guideline, and there are exceptions to guidelines from time to time. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:39, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

== Are friend lists really not allowed? ==

There's [[Template:User Best Friend|a tag]] that says "This user's best friend on Bulbapedia is some other user." or something like that. Isn't this kind of thing usually discouraged? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 04:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

== Riddles ==

Why Riddles (self-explanatory)?[[User:Horton Hears a murder|Horton Hears a murder]] ([[User talk:Horton Hears a murder|talk]]) 16:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
:It falls under the heading of games, I believe. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 16:34, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
::Ta ta[[User:Horton Hears a murder|Horton Hears a murder]] ([[User talk:Horton Hears a murder|talk]]) 16:36, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

== "Challenges" ==

Are users allowed to put Pokemon related challenge suggestions in their page? Basically what I planned to put on my page has been: "Suggestions for other Pokemon players to try if they want to have a challenge: e.g.
-Ash Ketchum only team using Pokemon Ash caught in that region only"
Not sure if that violates anything but asking just to be sure {{unsigned|Nikuriku}}
:No. The point of editing on Bulbapedia is to add/improve information for the reader, not edit the userspace for a user challenges or games. We are not Facebook.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

== Limit to edits on userspace pages ==

When I edit a page in my userspace, for example a page on a voice actor which is being worked on but still in the userspace there is a message above that says that I should not make more than three edits per day in the userspace.
I may be misinterpreting the message but I see it as that I'm not allowed to make more than three edits per day in the userspace regardless of intent such as drafting a few pages on VA's rather than the original intent of the limit which is aimed at people who spend too much time editing their userpage. Would someone be able to clear up on this please regarding the "no more than three edits" in the userspace per day? Because I have quite a few ongoing projects in the userspace and I don't want to accidentally get a warning or a potential ban. Thanks ahead.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:00, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
:Pages intended for the mainspace are excluded from the three edit limit. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen★]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 13:19, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

== Fan fiction ==

What about subpages ''about'' a fanfic? http://hrwiki.org/w/images/c/c6/update-hr.png<big>'''[[User:That'sBupkis|That's]][[User Talk:That'sBupkis|Bupkis!]]'''</big> 12:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
: I'm gonna advise against. Seems like it'd be trying to sidestep the intent of the rule. Probably best ot keep it to the forums where your more likely to garner interaction with the world. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 05:53, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

== Are friend lists really not allowed? ==

There's [[Template:User Best Friend|a tag]] that says "This user's best friend on Bulbapedia is some other user." or something like that. Isn't this kind of thing usually discouraged? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 15:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
:Specifically mentioned is Friends Pages, the tag isn't overly a big deal, one's fine, a whole userpage dedicated to 'friends on Bulbapedia' is not. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 05:53, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
::Okay thanks. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 20:33, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

== Is this still relevant with modern Mediawiki installs, 10 years later? ==

This is a serious question. Is this policy still relevant today? Has anyone checked what percentage of server resources is dedicated to userpages?

It's not like I need to edit my userpage very often. In fact, I basically stopped using it after a few edits years ago. So I don't care. But...as a full stack developer with over 15 years professional experience, this whole rule just sounds a bit weird to me - the fact that it causes such "server stress", that is. Does it really make such a big difference? Doesn't the entirety of non-namespaced edits to the wiki vastly dwarf userspace edits even without such a rule? Has anyone measured this and confirmed that, 10 years after it was drafted, it's still the case for modern Mediawiki installs?

I'm not telling you it's wrong, just asking - because I personally never ran Mediawiki at scale.

I definitely understand that this is a wiki and not a social media site and you don't want people to go overboard with their userpages, I'm just very surprised that "server stress" is the given reason. Surely the reason should just be that this is an information resource primarily and not a hangout, rather than it making any real difference in terms of server resource usage?

Thank you. I'm curious to hear from anyone who knows more about the server setup. ''I'm not challenging the rule itself'', in fact I think it's probably a good rule, I just wonder if it really makes a difference in server resources, especially in comparison to 2008. --[[User:Dada|Dada]] ([[User talk:Dada|talk]]) 13:38, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

==Games in my userpage==
is it ok if i have a game in my userpage but '''not exceed 3 edits per day'''? i can just say "game in progress" and make it over a few weeks/months? [[User:Grookeyscorbunnysobble|my userpage]] [[User talk:Grookeyscorbunnysobble|talk]] 18:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
:No. Games a strictly prohibited.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:22, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
::oh, dang it. [[User:Grookeyscorbunnysobble|grookeyscorbunnysobble]] 18:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

== Custom templates ==
So I'm not autoconfirmed, but a template (should be an edit to an existing template but that'd disrupt the flow of things on the Pokedex lists) that would be '''very''' beneficial would be Template:Rdex/HOME. Basically what this would do is first of all use the HOME menu sprites, but also make use of the N2Num template that's just sitting around. (can't imagine why this hasn't already been done on major templates that use ndex numbers) Makes making regional dex lists a WHOLE lot easier. [[User:Pikablu151|Pika]][[User talk:Pikablu151|blu]][[Special:Random|151]] 07:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

== ROM hack walkthroughs ==
Are walkthroughs of ROM hacks you make allowed on a userpage? [[User:Pikablu151|Pika]][[User talk:Pikablu151|blu]][[Special:Random|151]] 18:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, no - this would effectively be acting as coverage of the ROM hack. Since the ROM hack is not canon material, and probably not already-well-known (well-known example: Twitch Plays Pokemon), covering it on Bulbapedia would amount to advertising, which would violate the {{bp|Notability requirements}}. The userspace policy cannot be used to circumvent other policies, so that cannot be used to justify putting the ROM hack coverage in userspace.
:It may be more effective to host the walkthrough at whichever other site people are already using to discuss the ROM hack. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 11:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
:: I want my walkthrough to be able to use Bulbapedia templates and the ROM hack Pokémon Turquoise is only in its conceptual phase now. [[User:Pikablu151|Pika]][[User talk:Pikablu151|blu]][[Special:Random|151]] 22:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

== Custom files ==
Am I allowed to upload Radical Red sprites for later gen Pokémon? (They're based on the Nintendo DS sprites, so it's basically just more <<natdex#>>.png files; maybe also used in other areas of Bulbapedia) [[User:Pikablu151|Pika]][[User talk:Pikablu151|blu]][[Special:Random|151]] 21:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
:No, that wouldn't be allowed. There is a risk that readers will confuse those for official sprite images (which has happened before) - this is also part of why we've been trying to cut down on custom sprite images in general. Additionally, those custom sprites were made by a fan, and we would need their permission even if we wanted to use their sprites. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 11:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

== Categorization question ==

This is more of a curious question than anything else.

I've just created my user page, and in a single edit, I included content that would fit both the constructive (to-do list and project redlink) and personal (usertags) edit categories.

In this situation, would I be subject to the personal edit limitations? Specifically, three per day, one more mainspace than userspace. -- [[User:FlitPix|Flit]] ''([[User talk:FlitPix|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/FlitPix|contribs]])'' 04:15, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiYpKsB66LZsk7s4yhxJqlQ Yo waddup.]

I'm a [[wp:eurasian magpie|eurasian magpie]] from [[wp:Indiana|Indiana]], somehow. I mostly play the [[core series]] games, any relevant [[side series]] games, and {{g|GO}}. My first game was one of the [[Generation III]] games when I was around six, probably {{g|Sapphire}}. My favorite Pokémon movie is [[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]. Like [[Lawrence III]], I'm not a battler, but a collector; [[Shiny]] hunting is pretty fun, and so is collecting [[ribbon]]s! I don't play the [[TCG]], but I do like collecting the cards.

I'm a big fan of the stories of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] (please spike chunsoft make a [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|pmd2]] remake or a new game i beg you), and I've previously ran (or helped run) PMD roleplay communities on [[wp:Google+|Google+]], Discord, and even a dedicated forum site.

My contributions to Bulbapedia are primarily related to multiplayer connectivity, core series game mechanics, and some limited physical media.

==Contact==
Alongside my [https://flitpix.net/contact.php primary contact methods], you may also reach out to me using my [[User talk:FlitPix|talk page]] or the [https://bulbagarden.net/members/flitpix.88477/ Bulbagarden Forums].

I'm also in the Bulbagarden Discord server; however, I have DMs disabled there, and I don't typically look there often. You may ping me, but I'd prefer if you used one of the contact methods above.

==Owned books==
I own the following [[books]] and either have already contributed to their articles, or plan to do so at some point:
* [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]] - All pages are present and perfectly readable, but the book is in relatively poor condition overall, and page 85/86 is torn.
There are more, I will add to this list as I look through them.

==Current projects==
Redlinks will be created after I've locally created a good first draft.
* [[User:FlitPix/Sandbox/Multiplayer]]
** Comprehensive "hub" page on the various means of playing Pokémon with other people
** Mostly focused on core and side series as that's my area of expertise, but spinoffs should also get coverage here

==To do list==
* Document [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]] errors and trivia. Remove stub template?
* Look over books I own, and add missing information
* Try to backfill previous {{g|GO}} events
* Create root sandbox page: [[User:FlitPix/Sandbox]]
* Create a few usertags for personal use
** [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] players ([[User:FlitPix/User Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX]])
** PMD-specific "first partner" usertag ([[User:FlitPix/User Former Human]]?)
** Cleaned-up version of [[Template:User PMD Partner]], with text that changes depending on the game ([[User:FlitPix/User PMD Partner]])
* Continue to consider writing new [[Browse:Walkthroughs|walkthroughs]]

The '''Nintendo Switch Lite''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドースイッチライト''' ''Nintendo Switch Lite'') is a handheld-only version of the [[Nintendo Switch]].

{{n|Handheld-only Nintendo Switch Lite announced|First officially announced}} on July 10, 2019, the Switch Lite was released worldwide on September 20, 2019. It is smaller and cheaper than the regular Nintendo Switch with some functions disabled, most notably not having detachable controllers or being able to connect to a television screen.

==Comparison to the original Nintendo Switch==
*This console is exclusively handheld, and can only play Nintendo Switch games that support Handheld mode.
*There are no detachable Joy-Con; there are instead built-in controllers that lack HD Rumble and IR Motion Camera features. However, Joy-Con can be paired to the system and used.
*The Nintendo Switch Lite is incompatible with the Nintendo Switch dock, so it does not support TV mode.
*The battery life is slightly longer than the regular Nintendo Switch.

==Pokémon games==
{{main|Nintendo Switch#Pokémon games|Nintendo Switch → Pokémon games}}
The Nintendo Switch Lite is compatible with the same games as the original Nintendo Switch.

==Special Pokémon editions==
* '''{{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} Edition:''' Light gray, with blue and red control sticks and buttons to the left and right of the screen respectively, and darker gray line-art of Zacian and Zamazenta on the back side. It was released on November 8, 2019, to celebrate the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* '''{{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} Edition:''' Metallic gray, with black control sticks and buttons, and gold and silver line-art of Palkia and Dialga respectively on the back. It was released on November 5, 2021, to celebrate the release of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, and is based on the [[Nintendo DS Lite#Special Pokémon editions|special-edition Nintendo DS Lite of the same name]].

The '''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s graphical and CPU capabilities are nearly identical to the Wii. Like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the Wii is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]]; has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and also has a storage system: [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. It was succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible with all Wii games and controllers.

A cheaper version, known as the [[Wii Family Edition]], was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2011. A smaller model, known as the [[Wii mini]], was released in Canada in 2012 and in Europe and the United States in 2013.

The Wii was discontinued in worldwide on October 20, 2013.<ref>[http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/20/nintendo-stops-selling-wii-consoles-in-japan/ Engadget - Nintendo stops selling Wii consoles in Japan]</ref><ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wii-discontinuation-in-japan-won-t-affect-availability-in-united-states/1100-6415717/ GameSpot - Wii discontinuation in Japan won't affect availability in United States]</ref><ref>[http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/time-also-called-on-wii-in-europe/0123162 Time also called on Wii in Europe | Games industry news | MCV]</ref>

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
[[File:Wii Remote pink.png|thumb|left|200px|A pink Wii Remote]]
The Wii's controller design is unconventional; instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a Nunchuk attachment, or the Classic Controller, which takes on a layout similar to other consoles' main controllers. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features such innovations as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers. Its sensitivity can be enhanced with {{nw|Wii Motion-Plus}}, but no [[Pokémon games]] use Wii MotionPlus in any way.

===Wii Menu===
[[File:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Wii Disc Channel]]
The console features a custom GUI made up of different—and expandable—channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, and include an Internet browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console. The channels can be put on an SD card, and with the introduction of Wii Menu 3.3, SD Card menus can be accessed straight from the main menu.

The Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out an initial address book confirmation message to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world. However, this feature, along with a few channels, was discontinued on June 30, 2013.

===Backward compatibility===
The Wii is backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube-to-GBA cables, and microphone. It is incompatible with the {{wp|Rumble Pak}} or the [[Game Boy Player]].

The cheaper Wii variants, the Wii Family Edition and Wii mini, are incompatible with GameCube games.

==Hardware revisions==
===Wii Family Edition===
{{main|Wii Family Edition}}
[[File:Wii Family Edition.png|thumb|Wii Family Edition]]
The '''Wii Family Edition''' is a hardware revision of Wii that incompatible with [[Nintendo GameCube]] games or hardware like the original model was, restricting the console to only playing games from Wii game discs. Due to lack of GameCube controller ports, this model is incompatible with Wii peripherals, which need to be connected through the ports, and Wii games which require such peripherals to play. It is designed to sit horizontally, rather than upright like the original model. The stand included with the original model can be used on this Wii model, however. The Wii Family Edition was released on October 23, 2011 in North America and November 4, 2011 in Europe. It was never released in Japan, however, but a black NTSC-J variant of the Wii Family Edition that can be used to play Japanese Wii discs was released in Taiwan on December 16, 2011.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120123081541/http://www.nintendo.tw/pressrelease_new.htm 任天堂溥天股份有限公司，Wii的價格變更以及Wii主機新組合上市]</ref>
{{-}}

===Wii mini===
{{main|Wii mini}}
[[File:Wii Mini.png|thumb|Wii mini]]
[[File:Wii mini Logo.png|100px|left]]
The '''Wii mini''' is a hardware revision of Wii that that retains the same restrictions as the Wii Family Edition, abiet without online functions, an {{wp|Secure Digital|SD card}} slot, and several built-in channels, such as the Photo Channel and WiiConnect24 channels, similar to the Wii Mode on the [[Wii U]]. Unlike previous models, the Wii mini only has one {{wp|Universal Serial Bus|USB port}}, rather than the two on the original Wii, and can only use {{wp|composite video}} cables, rather than the {{wp|S-Video}} and {{wp|component video}} cables used by the original Wii. It was released in Canada on December 7, 2012, in Europe on March 22, 2013, and in the United States on November 17, 2013. Like the Wii Family Edition, however, the Wii mini was never released in Japan. Unlike the Wii Family Edition, though, an NTSC-J variant of the Wii mini that can be used to play Japanese Wii discs was never released in Taiwan.

The {{wp|Wii Shop Channel}} is a channel which comes pre-installed on Wii consoles. It uses the Internet to purchase and download WiiWare, Virtual Console games and channels with Wii Points.

===Nintendo Channel===
The {{wp|Wii Menu#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel}} is a free downloadable channel which contains various videos and demos of Nintendo games. Use of this channel requires the Internet. These videos are often commercials, trailers, and interviews relating to Nintendo products. All [[Pokémon games]] for [[Nintendo DS]] and Wii (excluding Virtual Console) that have had an English language release have been featured on the channel at some point.

Additionally, the channel has a feature called the DS Download Service, which allows players to download demos of games to a Nintendo DS system via DS Download Play. Demos for [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] can be downloaded. Explorers of Sky has three slightly different demos.

The channel was discontinued on June 30, 2013.

'''Route 22''' (Japanese: '''２２{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 22'') is a [[route]] located in western [[Kanto]]. It connects [[Viridian City]] in the east to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] in the west.

==Route description==
[[File:Route 22 Rival battle RBY.png|thumb|right|Rival challenging the player]]
After departing [[Viridian City]], Route 22 turns south at a line of trees before circling around the bottom of the treeline and passing north through a grassy patch of [[wild Pokémon]]. North of the patch, the route turns west, passing over a small hill as well as a small pond. Route 22 then turns south, hopping over a ledge into another patch of grass. Six paces to the south, Route 22 returns west, then north, passing through a hole in the fence outside the checkpoint building. To the northeast, the road goes through a break in a ledge before entering the building, emerging as {{rt|23|Kanto}} on the north side.

The ledge over the western grass patch causes the route path from Viridian to the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] building to become a westbound-only path. To return east, a ledge lines the bottom of the route, providing a pathway for Trainers to return to Viridian. The pathway, two paces wide, rejoins the route southwest of Viridian.

The [[rival]] ({{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}; {{ga|Trace}} in [[Generation VII]]) makes two appearances to battle the {{player}} on this route, near the first grass patch.

* The first battle is optional and takes place near the start of the game after [[Parcel|Oak's parcel]] is delivered. In {{game|Yellow}}, it affects what Pokémon become part of Blue's team later in the game.
** In [[Generation I]], this battle becomes unavailable once the player has obtained the {{badge|Boulder}}.
** In [[Generation III]], this battle becomes unavailable once the player battles the rival in [[Cerulean City]] (regardless of winning or losing).
** In [[Generation VII]], this battle becomes unavailable once the player encounters Trace in [[Pewter City]].
* The second battle takes place after the player has earned all eight [[Badge]]s and is mandatory.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can witness [[Giovanni]] abandoning {{ga|Silver}} here during the {{p|Celebi}} event, presumably heading to [[Tohjo Falls]].

==Differences among generations==
[[File:Kanto Route 22 HGSS.png|thumb|250px|Route 22 in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
===Generations I and III===
Only minor changes exist between these Generations. In Generation III, the Pokémon League HQ Front Gate leading to {{rt|23|Kanto}} is remodeled, the small pond is made slightly bigger, and trees are added in the eastern portion of the road. Finally, rock formations have also changed.

===Generation II===
The route was shortened slightly, and the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate|gate]] now looks like a normal [[gate]] in size. Also, the [[signpost]] in the west is moved a few tiles north.

===Generation IV===
The route is redesigned in most ways. The rocky outcropping in the center of the route is replaced by several trees, and the [[ledge]]s just north of the eastern [[tall grass]] are removed. The roads are redesigned and now are the same as the ones of [[Viridian City]]. More rock formations are added in the southwest of the route; due to this, a set of stairs replaces the fences present in previous {{pkmn|games}} and the west road has two sets of stairs before leading to the Reception Gate, which now is placed horizontally instead of being vertically at the entrance. Fences are added above the northwest road, where the signpost now is. The design of the gate is similar to that of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, but without trees and plants.

==In animation==
[[File:Kanto Route 22 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 22 in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Route 22 appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', where [[Liko]] took a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] from there to [[Indigo Academy]].

'''Pokémon Legends: Z-A'''{{#tag:ref|"Z-A" is pronounced as the two letters Z and A separately, according to the pronunciation of those letters in each language.<ref group="lower-alpha" name="en"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ja"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="ko"/><ref group="lower-alpha" name="es_la"/>|group=note|name=pronunciation}} (Japanese: '''{{j|Pokémon LEGENDS {{ruby|Z-A|ゼットエー}}}}''' ''Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A'') will be the third [[Generation IX]] [[core series]] game and the second game in the [[Pokémon Legends series]], after [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 2024, at 14:00 UTC, through [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It is set to be released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', is planned to release at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[Nintendo Switch 2#Upgrade packs|upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will feature enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

==Plot==
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1762487295859405151 Tweet from @NintendoAmerica: ''Watch to see the reveal trailer for #PokemonLegendsZA, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to #NintendoSwitch in 2025.'']</ref> some time after the events of {{g|X and Y}}. A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space. This comes with new mechanics, such as precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and different lengths of time required to perform certain moves.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch. The player is seen using modern {{i|Poké Ball}}s.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use the Pokémon that the player's first partner has a type advantage against.

=== Z-A Royale ===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.

===Returning Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* Nob Ogasawara's birthdate, February 27, is the same [[Pokémon Day|date]] on which {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan.
* In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver,]] {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver,]] [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], there are {{tc|Black Belt}}s named Nob. Additionally, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], there is a {{tc|Hiker}} named Nob on {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Nob confirmed via Twitter that his name was assigned to NPC trainers not by him, but by [[Nintendo of America]] staff as a reference to him.<ref name=NOAnames/>
* Nob is a known member of the {{wp|Something Awful}} forums with the username of Douglas Dinsdale. He also uses the alias Douglas Dinsdale or Doug Dinsdale on other social media. The alias is derived from the names of ''{{wp|Monty Python}}'' characters {{wp|Piranha Brothers|Doug and Dinsdale Piranha}}.<ref name=TheSpeedGamers2-1/>
* Nob coined the English names for the Pokémon {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Skiploom}}, {{p|Jumpluff}}, {{p|Staravia}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, and {{p|Mismagius}}.<ref name=TheSpeedGamers/><ref name=PokemonNames/> He had also suggested the names "Scaribou" for {{p|Stantler}}<ref name=ANMTV/><ref name=TheSpeedGamers2-1/><ref name=Scaribou/> and "Phantomb" for {{p|Spiritomb}},<ref name=ANMTV/><ref name=Phantomb/> although neither of them were accepted.

* Nob had expressed apprehension over {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s English name. The name was chosen by Nintendo of America staff during the localization work for {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and Nob stated that he was worried that the name would cause trouble if [[gender]] mechanics were to be introduced later down the line.<ref name=TheSpeedGamers/><ref name=SomethingAwful/><ref name=MrMimeTwitter/>
* The English names of the [[Old Chateau]] and [[Old Gateau]] were coined by Nob, intending to preserve the pun in the original Japanese text.<ref name=ANMTV/><ref name=TheSpeedGamers2-2/> According to Nob, he was able to keep the Old Chateau/Old Gateau pun in part due to him being able to give more input in the localization process from [[Generation III]] onward.<ref name=SomethingAwful/>
* According to Nob, he first saw the term [[Eeveelution]] "on AGNP (alt.games.nintendo.pokemon; a {{wp|Usenet}} group) or a spin-off {{wp|AIM (software)|AIM}} chatroom", and decided to adopt it for his translations because he deemed it useful.<ref name=Eeveelution/> Also according to Nob, the Pokémon English localization team adopted the '''{{PK}}{{MN}}''' abbreviation for "Pokémon" from a Chinese bootleg copy of {{game|Red}}.<ref name=TheSpeedGamers2-1/><ref name=Eeveelution/>
* The [[Game Boy Pocket]] used by Nob Ogasawara was auctioned off in a charity auction for [[TheSpeedGamers]]'s June 2014 Pokémon marathon. The auction was won by [[Bulbagarden]] webmaster {{u|Archaic}}.<ref name=Archaic/>

Appendix:Fan terminology

2025-05-09T18:16:29Z

{| style="float:right"

|}

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves. However, some terms originally coined by the {{pkmn|fandom}} have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==
===Counterparts===
A set of two [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] and their evolutionary families, each found in a different game, sometimes referred to as '''parallels'''. These counterparts may be identified by commonalities such as typing, [[base stats]], evolution method, and the locations where these Pokémon may be found. The term may also be used to describe Pokémon that are more common in one game version than another, as well as Pokémon that are only exclusive in a single pair of games.

===Convergent form/Convergent Pokémon===
{{main|Ecologically similar Pokémon}}
Fan terms for Pokémon which resemble another species without being related biologically. These refer to the {{p|Wiglett}}, {{p|Toedscool}}, and {{p|Poltchageist}} lines, whose designs are based on the {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{p|Sinistea}} lines, respectively. The term is derived from the real-world phenomenon of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Alternatively, some fans call them "regional fakes" as this concept resembles previously introduced [[regional form]]s.

===Early-route Pokémon===
A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into:
* Early-route Pokémon that are based on vermin that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types: {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, {{p|Wooloo}}, {{p|Lechonk}}, and {{p|Tandemaus}};
* Early-route {{type|Flying}} bird Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, {{p|Rookidee}}, {{p|Squawkabilly}}, and {{p|Wattrel}};
* Early-route {{type|Bug}}s: {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, {{p|Blipbug}}, {{p|Tarountula}}, and {{p|Nymble}}.

===Electric rodents===
{{main|Electric rodents}}
A group of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon based on {{wp|rodent}}s, consisting of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Pichu}} (sometimes omitted), {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Emolga}}, {{p|Dedenne}}, {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Morpeko}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, and {{p|Pawmot}}. Design-wise, all of them have electric sacs on their cheeks. This group is also referred to as the '''Pikachu family''', '''Pikachu clones''', or '''Pikaclones'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{ruby|電気袋組|でんきぶくろぐみ}}''' ''Electric Pouch Group''.
{{left clear}}

===Elemental monkeys===
{{main|Elemental monkeys}}
{{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, {{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of them are based on monkeys and have different types ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively). They also share resemblance to [[first partner Pokémon]].

===Game mascot===
{{main|Game mascot}}
A Pokémon that appears on the boxart of one of the [[Pokémon games]] in the [[core series]]. If it is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is also referred to as a '''box art legendary'''.

===Hitmons===

===''Kasekimera''===
{{main|Fossil#Generation VIII|Fossil → Generation VIII}}
(Japanese: '''カセキメラ''' ''Kasekimera'') is used within the Japanese fandom to collectively refer to Fossil Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]]: {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. The term is derived from the Japanese word 化石 ''kaseki'' (fossil) and the English word ''{{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}}''.

A list in the data since {{g|Sun and Moon}}, named "sublegend" in the game code, grouped the [[Ultra Beast]]s with all of the sub-Legendary Pokémon, despite them not being Legendary Pokémon. This grouping continued until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, in which Ultra Beasts are no longer grouped under this "sublegend" list.

Legendary Pokémon that are not sub-Legendary Pokémon are officially known as [[Special Pokémon]].

===Type triangle===
A trio of [[type]]s where one beats another and loses to another, such as {{t|Water}}-{{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}} or {{t|Dark}}-{{t|Fighting}}-{{t|Psychic}}, the former notably used for [[first partner Pokémon]]. Both the {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ghost}} types can create type triangles by themselves only. The {{t|Normal}} type is the only type that is not super effective against any type, but weak against the Fighting type. All single type triangles go as follows:

==Fan terms==

===Dexit===
A term referring to {{DL|Pokémon controversies|Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex|the controversy}} surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Derives from a portmanteau of "[[Pokédex]]" and "{{wp|Brexit}}", a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens concerning whether the UK (which is the basis of Galar, the setting of Sword and Shield) should leave the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on said franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

===Pokégirl===
A term used to refer to any female character in the Pokémon franchise. Derives from a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "girl".

===Zero Crew===
Zero Crew, or sometimes Zerocrew, is the colloquial term given to the friend group consisting of [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. The term derives from the fact that all three officially met each other in [[Area Zero]].

==Game terms==
===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Villainous team|Team]] leaders: the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) include villainous teams who the player will frequently cross paths with. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these teams and ultimately their leader.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** [[Legendary Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle, unless the player has a [[Master Ball]]. Legendary Pokémon are hard to fight because of their generally large base stats. {{p|Eternatus|Eternamax Eternatus}}, fits the traditional "boss" terminology, as it has the highest base stats out of any Pokémon and is not obtainable in battle.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game.
** [[Noble Pokémon]], Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}, and {{ga|Arceus}} are encountered in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing {{cat|balms}} at them (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier), this acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
** [[Titan Pokémon]], [[Starmobile]]s, {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Ursaluna}}, {{p|Ogerpon}}, {{p|Terapagos}} and {{p|Pecharunt}} are encountered and possess larger health bars similar to how boss health bars are depicted in most games and in most cases, also possess a title right after their name, such as "Terapagos, the Indigo Disk".
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{OBP|Colosseum|Pokétopia}}s in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* Spin-offs
**The {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]
**{{g|Magikarp Jump}} uses the term "boss" to refer one in every five opponents.

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item obtained through normal gameplay, without any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM.
Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation|RNG Abuse}}, or via bugs that the player would run into naturally during normal gameplay, (Gen 3's [[List of glitches in Generation III#Roaming Pok.C3.A9mon IV bug|Roamer IV bug]] for example), are still typically considered legitimate as the game would generate those Pokémon within the bounds of what was possible to obtain naturally, in an unmodified instance of the game.
*Note that Legitimate does not inherently mean [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]], it is possible to encounter Pokémon during normal gameplay that have otherwise impossible attributes, and the [[The Pokémon Company]] would consider unauthorized.
** 1★ [[Wild_Area_News/2020#April_28_to_May_11.2C_2020|Wild Area News]] {{p|Drilbur}} with {{m|Hydro Pump}} is an example of a Pokémon that was legitimately obtainable but considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]], as it was programmed with a [[Game move errors|game move error]]. The game does not permit its use online nor official tournaments, and several hours after the mistake was discovered [[GameFreak]] had fixed the erroneous Wild Area News data to replace Hydro Pump with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
** These situations are typically handled case-by-case. As a counter example, the 5★ [[Tera Raid Battle]] [[Female]] {{p|Indeedee}} with the error move {{m|Trick Room}} is not blocked from online use, and in early December 2022 even saw prior restrictions removed, permitting raids with the erroneous move to be hosted online to other players, and later patched the game to allow Female Indeedee to learn Trick Room via [[TM]]. In a situation like this, it could be argued the developers consider this error to be both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and Legitimate, despite the similar circumstances to the aforementioned Drilbur with Hydro Pump.
*Additionally, the state of the savefile itself is generally not taken into account when determining the legitimacy of an individual Pokémon. Even if the savefile is in an unnatural state via glitches, cheats, save editing, etc., if the generation/encounter conditions of a Pokémon are unaffected, a savefile in an unnatural state can still produce Legal and Legitimate Pokémon.
**As an example, using a glitch that warps the player to an area early, but does not alter the encounter conditions of Pokémon found in that area, would generate Pokémon in an identical manner to a player who arrived in that area under normal gameplay conditions.

=====Illegitimate=====
A Pokémon or item obtained via [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use. Typically this refers to a Pokémon or item generated via any third party modifications to the game's ROM or RAM, or with the use of intentional glitches to drastically alter the game into a state where it produces Pokémon or items in a way it would never be able to during the course of normal gameplay.
* This term may also be used to refer to {{pkmn2|event}} Pokémon generated outside of their typical distribution periods or methods via glitches, [[Arbitrary code execution]], [[Wonder Card]] injection, or other exploits such as the [https://pkmnclassic.net/ DNS Exploit].
**Contrary to the above, several event Pokémon are programmed as in-game static encounters or {{pkmn2|gift}}s accessible via activating an in-game event or event-exclusive location (such as [[Birth Island]]'s {{p|Deoxys}} or [[Faraway Island]]'s {{p|Mew}}), rather than generated directly by a Wonder Card. It could be argued that if an encounter is accessed via warp glitches, (on a game version/language the {{tt|encounter was legitimately obtainable in|This does not apply to events that were programmed into the game, but were never distributed, such Arceus event in the Hall of Origin in Pokémon Platinum, as those will always be Illegal and Illegitimate if accessed via any method}}, i.e. Faraway Island's Mew is only legitimately accessible on Japanese language copies of Pokémon Emerald, accessing it on an English copy of Emerald would result in an [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Illegal|Illegal]] Mew), that since the encounter itself is unmodified and available in the base game, the Pokémon itself could be considered both [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]] and/or [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]] {{tt|even if the savefile itself is in an unnatural state.|This is disputed within the community, as some consider any Pokémon encountered on a savefile in an unnatural state to be Illegitimate, judging the legitimacy of the state of the savefile rather than judging the legitimacy of individual Pokémon contained within.}}
* Illegitimate Pokémon and items are not limited to just those produced via cheating using third party tools, as Pokémon or items generated directly via [[cloning glitches]] or Arbitrary code execution would still fall into this category, even if the result would be considered [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legal|Legal]].

=====Legal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is possible to achieve through normal gameplay. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, one could obtain this Pokémon in its current state without [[cheating]] or intentional [[glitch]] use.
*Note that this is not inherently the same as [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Legitimate|Legitimate]]. While most Legitimate Pokémon are also Legal, this term only refers to the current state of the Pokémon and whether it could be theoretically obtained in that state through normal gameplay. A Pokémon may still be Legal even if it was obtained through the use of third party modifications, cheats, glitches, etc.

=====Illegal=====
A Pokémon or item in a state that is typically impossible to achieve through normal gameplay, and/or is disallowed by [[The Pokémon Company]]. This means that regardless of what method was used to obtain it, this Pokémon has at least one value that could only be obtained via [[cheating]], intentional [[glitch]] use, or via an oversight by the developers of the game that permitted it to be obtained.
* Note that a Pokémon can still be illegal even if permitted to be used online, having not been detected by the server's [[Cheating#Cheat_prevention_in_the_Pok.C3.A9mon_games|anti-cheat detection]], as the term refers to the Pokémon itself being in an unobtainable state, not necessarily whether it is detected by the game's anti-cheat.
**{{Shiny}} {{p|Victini}} is an example of a Pokémon that is illegal but remains usable online. To date, it has never been obtainable in-game, nor distributed as an [[event Pokémon]] in its Shiny form. Despite being a [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Shiny-locked|Shiny-locked]] species, Shiny Victini is not detected by any anti-cheat in Generations {{gen|V}} through {{gen|IX}}, nor {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}.
* It is also possible for illegal Pokémon or items to be obtained, or even generated by players who are not [[cheating]], having only interacted with the game via legitimate means, as a result of interference by other cheating players.
** One such instance would be [[breeding]] using a parent Pokémon that has an impossible combination of [[Poké Ball]] and [[species]], or impossible [[Egg move]]s, obtained via [[trade]] from a cheating player. 
** Another instance would be a player joining a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Hacked Max Raids|hacked Max Raid]] via [[Y-Comm]], (prior to Sword and Shield v1.2.1), and then catching the resulting illegal Pokémon, or receiving unobtainable item as a reward for defeating it. As a result, Pokémon and items that were impossible to receive via trade due to anti-cheat detection were made possible to obtain on an unmodified savefile, as the Pokémon and items are generated client-side by the non-cheating participant's game.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

====Balltism====
A term used by collectors to describe catching Pokémon with a specific type of [[Poké Ball]]. Often, this involves a desire to have the Ball's color scheme, thematic properties, or release animation align with the Pokémon it contains, as well as unique or unlikely combinations being valued. Some examples commonly sought after by players are Pokémon obtained in [[Appendix:Fan_terminology#Apriball|Apriball]]s (which in most main series games are rare, or difficult to obtain), and non-[[Ultra Beast]] species being obtained in [[Beast Ball]]s (due to the drastically lower 0.1× [[catch rate]] when used on non-Ultra Beast species).

The word is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of "Ball" and "Autism",{{fact}} sometimes used as a pejorative term in reference to one's obsession with obtaining a given Pokémon in a specific type of Ball, or devaluing Pokémon deemed to be in a "non-matching" type of Ball.<ref>https://gamerant.com/pokemons-quick-ball-controversy-shiny-hunting-look-reversal/</ref>

On April 24, 2021, the merchandise line "BALL FREAK", which prominently featured the concept of matching Pokémon and Poké Balls of similar style/coloration, released on the Japanese Pokémon Center website;<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/goods/2021/04/210409_to01.html</ref> however, this terminology hasn't appeared in any other media. It's currently unclear if [[The Pokémon Company]] considers "ball freak" an official term for the concept, or if it was only intended for use as a title for the specific merchandise line. To date, this remains the only official reference to this concept.

===Game acronyms===
Most of the Pokémon games come in pairs and are often followed by enhanced versions, hence Pokémon fans call them collectively with the first letters of their names.

* '''RGBY''': {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. Sometimes only '''RBY''', omitting the Japanese exclusive Pokémon Green in favor of its international release, Pokémon Blue.
* '''GSC''': {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}
* '''RSE''': {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}
* '''FRLG''': {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
* '''DPPt''': {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}
* '''HGSS''': {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}
* '''BW''': {{game|Black and White|s}}
* '''B2W2''': {{B2W2}}. Sometimes '''BW2'''.
* '''XY''': {{g|X and Y}}
* '''ORAS''': {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
* '''PoGO''': {{g|GO}}
* '''SMUSUM''': {{game4|SMUSUM}}. Can be split respectively into '''SM''' for Sun and Moon, and '''USUM''' or '''USM''' for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Sometimes '''SuMo''' is seen for Sun and Moon only.
* '''LGPE''': {{LGPE}}. Sometimes '''LPE''' or '''LPLE'''.
* '''SwSh''': {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Capitalization can vary between '''SwSh''' and '''SWSH'''. Sometimes '''SS'''.
** '''IoA''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Isle of Armor]]
** '''CT''': Pokémon Sword and Shield: [[The Crown Tundra]]
* '''BDSP''': {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}
* '''LA''': {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Sometimes '''PLA''' or '''PL:A'''.
* '''SV''': {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Sometimes '''ScVi'''.
** '''HToA0''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]]. Used when referring to the pair of DLCs, rather than the individual releases.
*** '''TTM''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Teal Mask]]. Includes the initial "The" in the acronym to avoid confusion with [[TM]] for Technical Machine.
*** '''TID''': Scarlet and Violet: [[The Indigo Disk]]. Sometimes '''ID''', dropping the initial "The" in an attempt to avoid confusion with [[Trainer ID]], which also uses the acronym "TID".

===Gameplay terms===
====6IV or 6V====
Refers to either a Pokémon with [[individual values]] of 31 for all 6 [[stat]]s, or a Pokémon with all 6 stats set to "competitively viable" values. This is also commonly referred to as "perfect IVs".
* As an example, some competitive strategies require a Pokémon to have an intentionally lower stat, such as an IV of 0 for {{stat|Attack}}, or {{stat|Speed}}. Strategies using {{m|Trick Room}} or {{m|Gyro Ball}} may benefit from a Pokémon having a lower Speed stat than the opponent, therefore a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in every other stat, but with a Speed IV of 0, may still sometimes be referred to as 6IV or "perfect".

The term "5IV" or "5V" (a Pokémon with IVs of 31 in only five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]] introduced in [[Generation VI]], allowing for the value of 5 random IVs of a bred Pokémon to be inherited from the parents if either parent holds the Destiny Knot.

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a [[Shiny Pokémon]] of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss/Will-O-Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or {{DL|Lumiose City|Prism Tower|Centrico Plaza}}, resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are not necessary in those games. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, various {{hi|ride Pokémon}} provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, traversal abilities are gained by the player's {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} during the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline, and the Flying Taxi from Sword and Shield returns.

HM mules are often referred to as '''HM slaves''' or '''HM friends'''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

====HSOWA====
[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "'''Hot Skitty On Wailord Action'''". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite their massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.
{{-}}

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] to its limit before taking on each [[Gym Leader]]. This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}, and popularized by {{wp|YouTuber}} 'JohnStone'.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}

====Apriball====
{{main|Apricorn}}
Referring to the [[Poké Ball]]s crafted using [[Apricorn]]s in [[Johto]], [[Kanto]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or [[Galar]] regions, specifically the [[Heavy Ball|Heavy]], [[Lure Ball|Lure]], [[Friend Ball|Friend]], [[Love Ball|Love]], [[Level Ball|Level]], [[Fast Ball|Fast]], and [[Moon Ball]]s.

Despite Poké Balls in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} also being craftable using Apricorns, this term doesn't refer to Poké Balls from the Hisui region.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs and officially known as base points, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

=====AVs=====
{{main|Go Power}}
Awakening values, often shortened to AVs and officially known as Go Power, are used in {{LGPE}} in place of EVs. AVs are used to increase a Pokémon's [[statistic|stats]], but are awarded through the use of [[Candy]] and [[level]]ing up, rather than by defeating other Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}}s or consuming [[vitamin]]s.

=====ELs or GVs=====
{{main|Effort level}}
Effort levels, often shortened to ELs, (referred to internally as "Ganbaru values", often shortened to GVs), are a mechanic introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Effort levels take the place of [[effort value]]s from previous games. Pokémon gain effort levels through the use of [[Grit]] items, but will initially begin with 0-3 ELs in each stat, with the amount being determined by the Pokémon's [[IV]]s.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====PID or EC====
{{main|Personality value}}
A shortened version of the term personality value, a hidden value used to determine several properties of a Pokémon, including {{Shiny|Shininess}}. [[Generation VI]] onwards, this value is split into two separate values, with the latter being referred to as the Encryption Constant, often shortened to EC.

=====PSV or ESV=====
Pokémon Shiny Value, often shortened to PSV, and Egg Shiny Value, often shortened to ESV, are values derived from a Pokémon or {{pkmn|Egg}}'s [[personality value]], designed as an easy way to tell if the Pokémon or Egg will appear as {{Shiny}} for a given player, if the value is the same as that player's Trainer Shiny Value, (often shortened to TSV).

====TID or SID====
{{main|Trainer ID number}}
Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

=====TSV=====
Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.

====RNG or RNG Abuse====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software (commonly referred to as RNG Abuse), in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

{{search|the link battle mode in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|battles with four trainers, two on each side|Multi Battle}}
----
'''Group Battle''' is a mode in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] that allows for link [[Pokémon battles|battles]] between the [[core series]] [[Generation III]] games in 3D. In Pokémon Colosseum, the mode is called '''Gang Battle'''.

Regardless of which [[GameCube]] game is used, Group Battle can be accessed immediately from the main menu:
* In Pokémon Colosseum, Gang Battle is a part of Battle Mode's Colosseum Battle menu.
* In Pokémon XD, Group Battle is a part of its VS Mode.

As this mode is meant for link battles, at least one [[Nintendo GameCube]] [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable|Game Link cable]] is required to access this mode, one for each Game Boy Advance that is to be used.

==Battle rules==
Once the mode is selected, the rules for the battle are decided by the player. In Pokémon Colosseum, the settings are decided sequentially in their own distinct menus, while in Pokémon XD, the menus are redesigned and can be changed in any order.

===Opponents===
There are four link battle options available, named in Pokémon XD:
* '''GCN VS GBA:''' A link battle between the GameCube game, and a GBA game
* '''GBA VS GBA:''' A link battle between two GBA games
* '''GCN + GBA VS GBA + GBA:''' A link [[Multi Battle]], with the GameCube game and one GBA game on one side, and two GBA games on the other
* '''GBA + GBA VS GBA + GBA:''' A link Multi Battle between four GBA games

Story Mode save data is required for the options that involve linking with the GameCube game.

===Battle Style===
[[Single Battle]]s and [[Double Battle]]s are available when linking two games.

When linking four games, this option is automatically changed to Multi Battle, and cannot be changed. It is skipped in Colosseum, and cannot be selected in XD.

===Arena===
In Pokémon Colosseum, the arena is chosen depending on the selected battle style:
* Single and Double Battles take place in [[Pyrite Colosseum]].
* Multi Battles take place in [[Under Colosseum]].

In Pokémon XD, players can select a battle arena from one of the following:
* '''Pyrite Colosseum:''' ''The domed <sc>[[Stadium (location type)|Colosseum]]</sc> in <sc>[[Pyrite Town]]</sc>.''
* '''[[Realgam Colosseum]]:''' ''The <sc>Colosseum</sc> located atop the <sc>[[Realgam Tower]]</sc>.''
* '''[[Mt. Battle Colosseum]]:''' ''A <sc>Colosseum</sc> built in the volcanic crater atop <sc>[[Mt. Battle]]</sc>.''
* '''[[Poké Spot#Rock Poké Spot|Rock Arena]]:''' ''An arena ringed by boulders.''
* '''[[Poké Spot#Oasis Poké Spot|Oasis Arena]]:''' ''An arena located in the middle of an oasis.''
* '''[[Poké Spot#Cave Poké Spot|Cave Arena]]:''' ''An arena located inside a cave.''
* '''Random:''' ''The arena will be selected at random.''

The arena is purely cosmetic and has no effect on the actual battle.

===Rules===
Many [[Rule variants#Rules|rules]] can be decided for the battle, ranging from a level limit for each Pokémon, to various clauses.

Both Colosseum and XD have three preset rulesets: '''Anything Goes''', '''Max. Lv 50''', and '''Max. Lv 100'''. There are also three "Edit Rule" slots that can be used to make custom rulesets.

==Starting the battle==
In Pokémon Colosseum, as well as any [[core series]] game, the player must put the team they wish to use in their [[party]] before linking. In Pokémon XD, the player can register Pokémon they want to use from both their party and [[PC]].

In the core series games, each player must also [[save]] at a [[Pokémon Center]] before they can link.

The process for linking depends on however many Game Boy Advance systems are connected and chosen for linking.
* For up to three GBAs, controller ports 2-4 are used as necessary.
* When linking four GBAs, controller ports 2-4 are used first, then the GameCube controller is disconnected from port 1 to connect the last GBA.

When each game is linked, the game will perform a check on its party to ensure it follows the chosen rules, and does not contain [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the case of Pokémon Colosseum. If a party does not follow the chosen rules, an error message describing the rule and which Pokémon fail to follow it; the player must then disconnect their game and make the necessary changes.

Once every game is linked and every team is validated, all players must press the A button, then Player 1 (the player using the leftmost controller port) must press Start. In a Multi Battle, Player 1 then decides the pairings.

Then, a team preview occurs, where all players can see each other's teams, including each Pokémon's species, [[nickname]] if any, whether it is [[Held item|holding]] an [[item]], and [[gender]] when using Pokémon XD. The GameCube player uses the directional pad, X, and Y to select their Pokémon, hold R while doing this to view details, and press L to cancel their last selection. The Game Boy Advance player(s) choose on their own screen(s).

The battle begins after this. The GameCube player can press A to fight, B to check Pokémon, L to go back, and Start/Pause to give in; they can then use the C-stick, X and Y to make selections, hold R to view possible selections, and use the control stick while holding R to view details. The Game Boy Advance player(s) make selections on their own screen(s).

'''Group Battle''' is a mode in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] that allows for link [[Pokémon battles|battles]] between the core series [[Generation III]] games in 3D. In Pokémon Colosseum, the mode is called '''Gang Battle'''.

Regardless of which [[GameCube]] game is used, Group Battle can be accessed immediately from the main menu:
* In Pokémon Colosseum, Gang Battle is a part of Battle Mode's Colosseum Battle menu.
* In Pokémon XD, Group Battle is a part of its VS Mode.

As this mode is meant for link battles, at least one [[Nintendo GameCube]] [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable|Game Link cable]] is required to access this mode, one for each Game Boy Advance that is to be used.

Rule variants

2025-01-09T17:05:58Z

FlitPix: /* Nintendo Cup '98 */ link and grammar fixes

{{outdated|needs=stuff about newer generations}}
'''Rule variants''', also known as '''formats''', are sets of regulations that players follow when engaging in competitive {{pkmn|battle}}s. Rule variants typically restrict the species, [[level]]s, [[item]]s, and [[move]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, or place time limits on battles.

Rules are employed in official settings (such as in-game content and officially organized tournaments), as well as unofficial settings.

==Rules==
{{cleanup}}
While normally banning unreleased and/or illegitimate Pokémon, [[move]]s, [[item]]s, and [[Ability|Abilities]], there are other sets of rules set to be followed by players in varying contexts, be they official or otherwise. These are often called "clauses," a term initially seen in the ''Stadium'' series of games, used as a shorthand for more complex rules that impose restrictions on gameplay. Clauses are commonly made with the aim of reducing variance and thus producing a "fairer" metagame.

Many unofficial clauses are seen on [[Smogon]], a popular competitive Pokémon website. On Smogon, rules are often proposed through "suspect tests" initiated by a council of players particularly dedicated to the metagame in question, wherein qualified tournament and ladder players will then vote on whether or not the rule will be instated, usually requiring a majority of 61% or higher. Common Smogon-popularized clauses include [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] clause, {{stat|evasion}} clause, Moody clause, and [[endless battle]] clause, which are seen across all of their metagames, being dubbed "Smogon-wide Clauses".[https://www.smogon.com/ss/articles/clauses]

The following clauses have seen considerable usage:

* '''Species clause''': Each Pokémon on a player's team must be of different species or {{FB|List of Pokémon by|National Pokédex number}}.
* '''Item clause''': Each Pokémon on a player's team must be holding different items.
* '''Sleep clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon asleep at a time.
**Sleep inflicted through {{m|Rest}} and count for the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{XD}}; also, in those games, when a Pokémon is sleeping and one of its teammates is attacked by a move that induces sleep like {{m|Spore}}, the move fails. However, self-inflicted sleep still succeeds.
**In [[Smogon]] metagames, self-inflicted sleep through {{m|Rest}} does not count.
**In the event of an outright sleep ''ban'', seen in some [[Generation I]], {{gen|V}}, and {{Gen|IX}} metagames, the rule is referred to as '''Sleep moves clause'''.
* '''OHKO clause''': {{m|Fissure}}, {{m|Horn Drill}}, {{m|Guillotine}}, and {{m|Sheer Cold}} are banned.
* '''Freeze clause''': Each player can only have one Pokémon frozen at a time.
** In the Pokémon Stadium side series, when a Pokémon is frozen and another Pokémon of the same team is attacked with a move that causes {{status|Freeze}}, the Freeze rate is reduced to 0%.
* '''Evasion clause''': {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Minimize}} are banned. This is sometimes expanded to include less direct measures to increase evasion, such as {{m|Acupressure}}, {{a|Moody}}, {{a|Sand Veil}}, and {{a|Snow Cloak}}. While not boosting evasion itself, items such as [[Bright Powder]] which have a mostly equivalent effect are sometimes banned in the spirit of the rule.
* '''Event clause''': Pokémon and items that have only been released through [[event Pokémon|events]], such as {{p|Mew}}, are ineligible. The ban is rarely referred to by name due to the Pokémon (and sometimes items) banned being specified.
* '''Moody clause''': The ability {{a|Moody}} is banned. Commonly used on [[Smogon]].
* '''Baton Pass clause''': Commonly used on [[Smogon]], this comprises various restrictions on {{m|Baton Pass}}, ranging from an outright ban to an arbitrary number of users per team. Commonly seen in [[Single Battle]] metagames where full Baton Pass teams can easily spiral out of control. These bans can get quite specific, such as "TrapPass clause" in [[Generation II]] metagames, which bans the use of Baton Pass alongside {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Spider Web}}, due to the combination causing Pokémon to remain unable to escape.
* '''Swagger clause''': Followed mainly in [[Generation V]] and {{gen|VI}} competitive play on [[Smogon]], the move {{m|Swagger}} is banned. With more moves being banworthy since then, the clause is rarely referred to by name in modern times.
* '''Self-KO clause''': The player automatically loses if their last Pokémon uses {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}. {{m|Destiny Bond}} and {{m|Perish Song}} also fail when used by the last Pokémon.
* '''Terastal clause''': Pokémon cannot {{Tera}}stallize. Commonly seen in constructed metagames, such as "Pet Mods" on [[Pokémon Showdown]].
* '''Dynamax clause''': Pokémon cannot [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]].
* '''Gems clause''': Exclusive to Generation V, the only generation where [[Gem]]s other than the [[Normal Gem]] are obtainable, and bans their use. It appears specifically in [[Smogon]]'s OverUsed metagame.
* '''Mega Rayquaza clause''': {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Used in [[Smogon]]'s [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} "Uber" metagames.
* '''Deoxys camouflage clause''': Seen in [[Generation III]] metagames and can be turned on in {{XD}}. {{p|Deoxys}} formes are revealed upon entering battle.
* '''SleepTrap clause''': Followed mainly in [[Generation II]] competitive play, {{status|sleep}}-inducing moves cannot be used in conjunction with moves that trap the opposing Pokémon permanently such as {{m|Mean Look}}. Given the nature, moves like {{m|Whirlpool}} are exempt.
* '''Cleric clause''': Seen in Generations I and II. All Pokémon must be healthy at the beginning of the battle, this means that they must have full [[HP]], full [[PP]], and no [[status condition]]s like {{status|sleep}} or {{status|freeze}}. Games like [[Pokémon Stadium]] enforce this rule automatically by "curing" all Pokémon before the battle.
*'''Tradeback clause''': Exclusive to Generation I metagames. Players cannot use Pokémon with moves they can only learn in [[Generation II]]; eg. {{m|Lovely Kiss}} {{p|Snorlax}} or {{m|Ice Punch}} {{p|Gengar}}.
* '''Invulnerability clause''': Exclusive to Generation I metagames.<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/dex/rb/formats/ou/ RBY OU Ruleset]</ref> This bans the use of {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Fly}}, due to a [[glitch]] involving Pokémon becoming invincible when the moves are interrupted by {{status|paralysis}} or {{status|confusion}}.

There are other rules normally followed only by official tournaments, such as:
* '''Nickname clause''': No two or more Pokémon can have the same nickname.
** Additionally, Pokémon cannot be nicknamed with the name of another Pokémon (e.g. an {{p|Unfezant}} named "Pidove" or "Arbok").
* '''Level Sum Limit''': Seen in Generations I and II's official competitive formats, with the exception of [[Prime Cup]]. The three Pokémon that were chosen for the battle should have a specific Level Sum, e.g., in the case of the [[Poké Cup]], the Level Sum Limit must be between 150 and 155, effectively giving five levels to distribute amongst Pokémon.

In addition, official tournaments in Generation V onward have required the use of the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}} feature, locking it upon entry. Plus, official tournaments will often limit the amount of Pokémon that can be brought into a game; usually, three for [[Single Battle]]s, and four for [[Double Battle]]s.

==Tiers==
{{main|Tier}}
In unofficial multiplayer play, Pokémon are typically divided into tiers. A Pokémon's tier placing depends on several factors, including its [[base stats]], [[type]], [[Ability|Abilities]], [[move]]pool, and usage.

Tiers also serve as banlists. Battles take place according to tier, with all Pokémon in a higher tier banned. In the most common metagame, the '''Standard''' or '''Overused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Uber tier are banned. In the '''Underused''' metagame, all Pokémon in the Borderline or higher tiers are banned.

As a variation of tiers, in certain communities, players are only allowed to use a maximum of one Pokémon out of a select group of Pokémon. This group of Pokémon is usually limited to {{pkmn2|legendary}} and [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

==Generation I==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)====
The {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese|first Pokémon Stadium}} game, which was only released in Japan on August 1, 1998, features a tournament mode with two divisions: the L1-30 division, based on Nintendo Cup '98, and the L50-55 division, based on Nintendo Cup '97. The finalists from the Nintendo Cup '97 appear as opponents in the L50-55 Division.

Each division features a set of rules that would become standard for all console games:
* The species, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses are in effect.
* Both teams are shown before the battle, and each player must select three Pokémon to battle.

The game also features a Free Battle mode where players can customize the rules.

====Pokémon Yellow====
The [[Cable Club]] in {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{OBP|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese|Blue}} feature no rule regulations. However, {{game|Yellow}} features an exclusive battle arena, Colosseum 2, with three Cups.

Each player can only use three Pokémon, and no additional rules are in effect, with the exception of level limitations. These Cups would later be used in the international [[Pokémon Stadium]] and future international tournaments.

====Pokémon Stadium====
[[File:PKM Stadium 2 JPN Cups.png|thumb|200px|The Japanese Stadium Cups in Pokémon Stadium]]

The second Pokémon Stadium game, which was released internationally as [[Pokémon Stadium]], features tournaments called [[Stadium Cup]]s.

All versions of Pokémon Stadium featured the Pika and Petit Cups from Pokémon Yellow Version's Colosseum 2, along with the [[Prime Cup]], a no-holds barred tournament based on the normal Cable Club battles.

The Japanese version, known as Pokémon Stadium 2, also features three Nintendo Cups based on the first three Japanese tournaments, {{OBP|Nintendo Cup '97|Pokémon Stadium|Nintendo Cups '97}}, {{OBP|Nintendo Cup '98|Pokémon Stadium|'98}}, and {{OBP|Nintendo Cup '99|Pokémon Stadium|'99}}. In-game representatives of its real-life participants appear as opponents in Round 2 of Nintendo Cup '98, while Nintendo Cup '99 and the Prime Cup each have four divisions. All three cups follow the species, self-KO, sleep, freeze, and event clauses.

In the international versions, the Nintendo Cups were replaced with the Poké Cup from Yellow's Colosseum 2. The Poké Cup features the four divisions and the arena of Nintendo Cup '99, but the rules of Nintendo Cup '97. All four Cups follow the species, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses, while only the Pika and Poké Cups follow the event clause.

|}

Pokémon Stadium also introduced a [[Gym Leader Castle]], where the player has to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and the [[Elite Four]] of the Generation I games. While the Castle features no level restrictions, all of the opposing Pokémon will be at level 50 by default. If the player uses a higher leveled Pokémon, all of the opponents' Pokémon would be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon. A similar auto-leveling feature would appear in the battling facilities such as the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Generation III Battle Frontier]]. The Castle features the same clauses as the Stadium Cups.

Pokémon Stadium was also the first Pokémon game that allowed more than two players to battle at a time. Up to four players can compete in the Free Battle mode; if two players are on a team, each player can only select and control three Pokémon. A similar mode of play, Multi Battle, was introduced in the [[Generation III]] main series games.

===In tournaments===
====Nintendo Cup '97====
A series of annual tournaments sponsored by Nintendo began in 1997, taking place in various locations across Japan. These tournaments, which would later be referred to as Nintendo Cups in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], established the first set of rule variants that would pave the way for future tournaments and Pokémon games.

In the first of these tournaments, Nintendo Cup '97, [[Full Battle]]s did not take place due to time constraints, instead, each player selected three Pokémon to battle after showing their party of six to their opponent. The battles took place in the Game Boy.

The event consisted of 15 regional tournaments. At the end, the 15 champions competed in a national tournament to determine who was the best trainer. The national event took place during the [[Nintendo Space World]] '97. Toru "Miyasawa" won the tournament thus becoming the first national champion in Pokémon History; on the other hand, Hiroki Yoshi was the runner-up, while the third place was a tie between Yojiro Yuki and Yusuke Suzuki. The champion and the runner-up got a [[Nintendo 64]] console.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19980224224633/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n12/report/112302.html</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/JapanTVShowNintendoSpaceWorld1997CoverageNINTENDO97</ref><ref>http://pokemon.s20.xrea.com/historia-single.html#1997</ref>

The players of the national tournament were depicted as opponents in the {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese|first Japanese Pokémon Stadium game}}, with 8 out of the 15 players being randomly selected to appear on any given playthrough. In addition, most of the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Pokémon|Pokémon that appeared]] in Pokémon Stadium were selected due to their tournament performance.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/qa/qa.html] Pokémon Stadium Q&A</ref>

In the international scene, the Nintendo Cup '97 was renamed Poké Cup and appeared in the games Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Stadium 1.

====Nintendo Cup '98====
The Nintendo Cup '98 made use of the {{Jpn|Pokémon Stadium|first Pokémon Stadium game}} 12 days before it was officially released. In the tournament, only Pokémon that were available in that game were allowed to participate. The restriction to level 30 or lower narrowed down the choice of Pokémon even further, with a total of 33 species legal for use.

Like the previous event, the Nintendo Cup '98 was divided into two phases: seven local tournaments and one national tournament. The national tournament took place at the Studio 1 of TV Tokyo on August 30, 1998. The contestants were the seven champions from the local tournaments. Norishige Hanamoto was the champion, Tatsuya Hori was the runner-up, Shinji Yoshikawa won the third place and Shōhei Yanagisawa won the fourth place. The first three places got a gold, silver and bronze trophy respectively, and the first four places got a [[Game Boy Light]], a [[Game Boy Printer]] and a copy of [[Pokémon Yellow Version]] once it was released.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/btour/yosen.html</ref><ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_npsj/btour/</ref>

The seven finalists of the national tournament, along with one generic {{tc|Youngster|Lad}} trainer to fill out the roster, were depicted as opponents in the [[Pokémon Stadium|second]] Japanese Pokémon Stadium game, in the Round 2 mode.

The [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/p_fes/p_fancy/index.html Spring Pokémon League] was a series of tournaments organized by Nintendo. The events took place in March and April 1999 in Japan. To give variety to the game, the tournaments used the rules of the Petit Cup, which only allowed "cute" Pokémon. Battles used [[Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 1]] before it was released, and the competitors could use their Pokémon from their Game Boy cartridges. To participate, players had to send a postcard to Nintendo before a certain date, after which the company sent them an invitation in case they were selected or a notice of loss in case they were rejected. The reply mail was sent at least one week before each tournament started and there was no entry fee.

There were five regional tournaments. The Kumamoto tournament took place on March 27 and 28 at the TKU Plaza and was won by Naruyoshi Isasaka. The Osaka tournament took place on April 4 at the ATC Hall and was won by Atsushi Fujiwara. The Tokyo tournament took place on April 11 at the Tokyo Ryutsu Center and was won by Yasuaki Yoshitake. The Sendai tournament took place on April 25 at the San Festa and was won by Zenichiro Murakami. Finally, the Nagoya tournament took place on April 29 at the Fukiage Hall and was won by Kenta Takeshita. Unlike the previous events, there was not a national tournament.<ref>http://pokemon.s20.xrea.com/historia-single.html#1999</ref>

====Nintendo Cup '99====
Nintendo Cup '99 combined aspects from the previous tournaments. In addition to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}, the Pokémon used by the finalists of the Nintendo Cup '97 and the Nintendo Cup '98 were also banned from the tournament. In the event, battles took place in [[Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 1]] where players used the Transfer Pak to use their teams from Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.

Nintendo Cup '99 also consisted of two phases: 12 local tournaments and one national tournament. The national tournament took place during the Nintendo Space World '99. The contestants were the 12 champions from the local tournaments. Yukifumi Aoki was the champion, Yasuhito Kajihara was the runner-up and Akihiro Nagai won the third place.<ref>http://pokemon.s20.xrea.com/historia-single.html#1999</ref>

Nintendo Cup '99 also appeared in Pokémon Stadium 1; however it was cut in the international version.

====Pokémon League Summer Training Tour '99====
The [https://web.archive.org/web/19991009100957/http://www.pokemon.com/news/summertour.html Pokémon League Summer Training Tour '99] was the first series of Pokémon tournaments that took place in the United States. From July 10 to September 12 players could visit the nearest mall to compete in Pokémon battles, play Trading Card Game matches, try out the new titles: [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Snap]], participate in a [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_European_language_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_(Generation_I)#Pok.C3.A9mon_League_Nintendo_Training_Tour_.2799_Mew Mew distribution event] or watch Nintendo employees demonstrating the upcoming game: [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]. The event took place in 20 cities, these were: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Kansas City (Missouri), Salt Lake City, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Dallas, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Bethesda (Maryland), New Jersey and New York. Each city had its own series of tournaments.

The event was also famous because it marked the debut of the [[Pika Cup]], the [[Poké Cup]] and the [[Prime Cup]] outside of Japan. The Pika Cup was for Pokémon of Levels 15-20 ({{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} were banned along with Pokémon that were impossible to obtain at those levels); on the other hand, the Poké Cup was for Pokémon of levels 50-55 (Mewtwo and Mew were still banned); finally, the Prime Cup was for Pokémon of levels 1-100 (Mewtwo and Mew were allowed).

Each division was opened to a maximum of 1,000 players between ages 7 to 14. To participate, players had to bring their [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Pocket]] or [[Game Boy Color]] and a game of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] or [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]]; [[Game Link Cable|Link Cables]] were provided by Nintendo employees and battles took place with Colosseum 1 mechanics. Before each battle, players had to show their six Pokémon to their opponent (all had to be of a different species), then they had to choose three for the battle and deposit the other three in [[Pokémon Storage System|Bill's PC]]. Like their Japanese counterparts, the Pika Cup and the Poké Cup had a Level Sum Limit for the Pokémon that were chosen for the battle: 50 for the Pika Cup and 155 for the Poké Cup. All formats featured Freeze, Sleep and Self-KO clauses; finally, if a player's Game Boy ran out of batteries he lost the match.

All tournament registrants got a Pokémon sticker sheet, a mini-poster with all the Pokémon, a window decal and a tournament brochure. Players could also earn Badges depending on their performance: a Competition Badge just for competing, a Boulder Badge for winning one match and a Cascade Badge for winning two matches. Players that earned the three Badges could be selected to play against a Gym Leader from Nintendo, they got a Pokémon Trainer Cap in case they won.<ref>https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/07/08/pokemon-summer-training-tour-kicks-off</ref><ref>http://archive.thegia.com/features/f990814.html</ref><ref>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/41952/poke-memories-justin-berube-features-editor</ref>

Due to the success of the event, it was extended from October 9 to November 7. The second half of the event was renamed as the [https://web.archive.org/web/19991009134306/http://www.pokemon.com/news/summertourschedule.html Pokémon League Nintendo Training Tour '99] due to the change of season. The new event included San Francisco and Los Angeles and six new cities: Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Boston, Mesa (Arizona), St. Louis and Miami. The formats and rules were the same; however, the tournaments were now opened for players of all ages and Pokémon Yellow was banned despite the fact that it was officially released during the first days of the event.

====Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour====
A series of tournaments were held in Canada and the United States during the [[Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour]], which took place to promote [[Pokémon Stadium]]. Competitors were separated into three skill groups: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Each skill group was assigned to one division of Pokémon Stadium: [[Pika Cup]] for Beginners, [[Poké Cup]] for Intermediate players and [[Prime Cup]] for Advanced players. Battles took place in the Game Boy and in Pokémon Stadium. In the case of the Game Boy, if both players had Yellow they played in the Colosseum 2 mode; however, if one used Red or Blue instead of Yellow they played in the Colosseum 1.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20000303033354/http://www.pokemon.com/events/stadiumtour_rules.html</ref>

====Pokémon 2000 World Championship====
Thunder for Down Under, a worldwide qualifier, took place in various countries in the year 2000. In this tournament, players from Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States all competed in regional championships, with the winners heading for the Pokémon 2000 World Championship, the first Pokémon World Championship, in Sydney, Australia. The regional and Continental events featured three formats: Pika Cup, Poké Cup and Prime Cup; however, the World event only featured the Prime Cup. Pokémon Stadium was used for the battles. Regarding the Prime Cup rules, Mewtwo was allowed in the Spanish tournament, on the other hand, Mew was banned in all the events. Darryn Van Vuuren, from the United Kingdom, won the World tournament thus becoming the first World Champion in Pokémon History; on the other hand, Edwin Krause from Germany finished on second place, Sergio García Maroto from Spain finished on third place and Ian Garvey from the United States finished on fourth place.<ref>https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/09/06/hes-the-master</ref><ref>https://informepokemon.wordpress.com/2020/03/19/reconstruyendo-un-gran-pedazo-de-historia/</ref>

===In the games===
====Pokémon Stadium 2====
The final Pokémon Stadium game, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], features four [[Stadium Cup]]s. The Poké and Prime Cups returned from the original; however, the Prime Cup only had one division. The [[Little Cup]] and the [[Challenge Cup]] were added, with the latter featuring four divisions. The moves {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} are banned in the Little Cup, making it the first rule variant to prohibit certain moves. In the game, players can customize and save various sets of rules. Still, all cups follow the species, item, self-KO, sleep, and freeze clauses; only the Prime Cup follows the event clause. With a total limit of 155, only the Poké Cup has a total level limit.

====Pokémon Crystal====
{{game|Crystal}} introduced the first {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, a special battling facility. The Battle Tower's rules are similar to [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]'s, and this was later followed by future Battle Towers:
* Players must select three different Pokémon to battle.
* All Pokémon must be holding different items.

A change from the Pokémon Stadium games, a draw will end the player's streak, even if the opponent's Pokémon causes the draw with a move such as Explosion. Also, items cannot be used from the [[Bag]].

Unlike future Battle Towers, event Pokémon can be used in the level 70 and higher divisions.

===In tournaments===
====Nintendo Cup 2000====
[[File:2000 Cup logo.png|thumb|300px|Nintendo Cup 2000 logo]]

In Japan, a fourth series of tournaments for the Pokémon games, Nintendo Cup 2000, was held. The event used [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] to organize battles days before the game was officially released. Similar to Nintendo Cup '97, the tournaments took place using Pokémon from levels 50-55, with a total limit of 155. At the end, the winners of the eleven local tournaments competed in a national tournament. Yuki Sato won the event, Akira Nakamura finished on second place and Tatsuaki Fujita finished on third place. The runner-up and the third place won a silver and a bronze trophy respectively, on the other hand, the champion won a Game Boy Advance once it was released.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_np3j/league/</ref><ref>http://pokemon.s20.xrea.com/historia-single.html#2000</ref>

Like the other official tournaments, the Nintendo Cup 2000 appeared in the game Pokémon Stadium 2. In the English versions of the game, the format inherited the name of the Poké Cup due to its similarities with the tournament that appeared in the international Pokémon Stadium 1.

====Mobile Cup 2001====
[[File:Mobile Cup 2001.jpg|thumb|200px|The logo photographed at the last matches of Mobile Cup 2001]]

The last Japanese national tournament of the [[Game Boy Color]] era, the Mobile Cup 2001, was held with 1,000 players who were selected in a drawing. It used the [[Mobile System GB]], a feature exclusive of the Japanese {{game|Crystal}}.<ref>http://pokemon.s20.xrea.com/historia-single.html#2001</ref><ref name="tauros">https://youtu.be/5iqsg8yiQR0?t=720</ref>

The tournament used Pokémon from levels 1 to 30. Each player had three Pokémon and brought them all into the battle. The rules only said that Mew and Celebi were banned; however, technically other 22 Pokémon were also banned because they were unavailable at level 30. Unlike previous tournaments, Species Clause was absent; also, Team Preview, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause and Self-KO Clause were only enforced in the semi-finals, the third place play-off and the final. Another oddity was that players didn't face each other until the semi-finals. In the first six rounds, each player had to defeat a Nintendo player in a Mobile Battle in Pokémon Crystal within a 10-minute time limit. Players who won a round received a Trainer Certification Card. Players were also allowed to change teams after each round.<ref name="tauros"></ref><ref>https://dengekionline.com/data/news/2001/4/18/e7cc7e57c9e986401d7ee24435937a2d.html</ref>

On the day of the match, the player got a phone call from the Nintendo player, the latter initiating the communications so that the company would pay the charges of the match. Players who disconnected or ran out of time lost the battle and were eliminated from the tournament. In the sixth round, the four players that spent the fewest turns to win the match advanced to the semi-finals; it was called the "Extra Match," implying that it could be an unexpected play-off round for the semi-finals.<ref name="tauros"></ref><ref>https://gamememolog.hatenablog.com/entry/2013/04/06/035300 {{dead_link}}</ref>

The last matches took place at the Nintendo Space World 2001 and were played on Pokémon Stadium 2. Akihiro Nagai won the tournament, Shiori Yamamoto was the runner-up, Kotaro Ochiai finished on third place and Mika Fujita on fourth. The four players got a [[Celebi]]-colored [[Game Boy Advance]] and a certificate while the champion was also rewarded with an [[e-Reader]] once it was released.

It took place on Tuesday, July 29th 2003 at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Weightlifting_Gymnasium Seoul’s Olympic Weightlifting Gymnasium]. The tournament was organized by Mr. Ohara from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewon_C.I. Daewon C.I.], a comics company. One thousand players participated in the event. At the request of Nintendo of Japan, the first phase consisted of a quiz where players had to answer difficult questions related to Pokémon. All questions had two possible answers: true or false and only 64 players could advance to the next round. The second phase consisted of a series of 3 VS 3 battles; finally, the quarter finals, the semi-finals, the third place play-off and the final consisted of a series of [[Full Battle|6 VS 6]] battles. Matches were played on the Game Boy ([[Game Boy|normal]], [[Game Boy Color|Color]] or [[Game Boy Advance|Advance]]), except the quarter finals, the semi-finals, the third place play-off and the final which were played on the [[Game Boy Player]]. The finals were also broadcast on a jumbotron so the crowd could watch them.

Because the [[Gen I]] games, [[Pokémon Crystal]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] were not released in South Korea, only Pokémon that could be obtained in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] were allowed (with the exception of {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}). Pokémon had to be between Levels 1 to 55 and there was no Level Sum Limit for the Pokémon that were chosen for the battle. All [[Held Item|Held Items]] were banned, also, in contrast with other competitions of the era, Sleep and Freeze Clauses were not enforced; if a player managed to Freeze and/or put to Sleep all of his opponent’s Pokémon, he won the match automatically; on another hand, each player could only use one of the following Pokémon per match: {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}; finally, in the case a player’s Game Boy ran out of energy, he lost.

The champion was Seok-hyun Kim, a 13 years old boy who was a member of South Korea’s Pokémon Club; on the other hand, 11 years old Soo-chang Jo won the second place and 13 years old In-pyo Lee won the third place. The champion said that he had to practice five hours a day for an entire month to prepare for the tournament. Regarding the prizes, the champion, the runner-up and the third place won a diploma and a Game Boy Player.

The event was a success; however, the lack of Sleep Clause and the possibility of winning by putting an entire team to Sleep was met with criticism by players. Despite the success of the event, there was not another official tournament in South Korea until [[Gen IV]].

==Generation III==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
{{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} introduced [[Double Battle]]s, where each player battles with two Pokémon at a time. In Double Battles, certain attacks affect multiple Pokémon and certain Abilities, such as {{a|Plus}} and {{a|Minus}}, only take effect in Double Battles. This format has been used in almost every tournament since the one held in Pokémon Festa 2004 and is the main format in the story modes of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

In the Cable Club, four players can play a Double Battle variant called the [[Multi Battle]]. Similar to Pokémon Stadium, each player can only select and control three Pokémon at a time.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire featured a {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} similar to {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II|Pokémon Crystal's}}. However, only two divisions are available: the Level 50 and the Level 100 division. Also, Double Battles can not be conducted.

====Pokémon Colosseum====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the [[Stadium Cup]]s were replaced with [[Colosseum]]s. While the general clauses remain from the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], the Colosseums have no special rules in place, with the exception of level divisions. Each Colosseum can be challenged in a single or Double Battle format.

Pokémon Colosseum also introduced [[Poké Coupon]]s, which are rewarded to the player upon completing portions of [[Mt. Battle]]. Poké Coupons can be traded in for various [[TM]]s or items; however, the player receives a 15% penalty for each legendary Pokémon used.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
In these games, a Battle Tower is not present; instead, [[Trainer Tower]] took its place.

While the Battle Tower values winning streaks, Trainer Tower prioritizes speed. In the Japanese version, players can scan [[e-Cards]] to change the floor layouts; in international versions, the [[e-Reader]] support was removed, and many of the card layouts were incorporated into the Tower.

Trainer Tower features four modes of play: Singles, Doubles, Knockout, and Mixed. In a Knockout Battle, the player has to defeat three Trainers in a single battle consecutively. The Mixed mode incorporates battles from the other three layouts.

Unlike the Battle Tower, no clauses are in effect, items can be used from the [[Bag]], and the player can interrupt their challenge to use the [[Pokémon Center]] in the lobby at any time.

In addition, a special battle format is present in the [[Union Room]]. Each Trainer can select two Pokémon up to Level 30 in a Single Battle format.

====Pokémon Emerald====
Pokémon Emerald introduced the first {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. In addition to the Battle Tower, it features six other facilities with special rules, similar to the [[Stadium Cup]]s.

Each facility can be challenged in a Single Battle or a Double Battle format. In addition, two players can team up in a Multi Battle format, where each player can control two Pokémon at a time. Players can battle in a Level 50 division or an Open Level division where all of the opponent's Pokémon will be at the same level as the player's highest-leveled Pokémon.

Unlike the previous Battle Tower, players do not receive items after winning a streak. Instead, players receive [[Battle Point]]s. Like [[Poké Coupon]]s, Battle Points can be saved and traded in for certain items or moves; however, there is no penalty for using legendary Pokémon.

====Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness====
Unlike {{g|Colosseum}}, {{Pokémon XD}} does not feature a Battle Mode. However, after completing the game, the player may challenge the [[Orre Colosseum]], which has similar regulations to the Colosseums in Battle Mode.

Like almost all of the battles in the game, the Colosseum uses the Double Battle format.

===In tournaments===
{{incomplete|section|Misc. official/Nintendo-supported tournaments worldwide}}
====???====
The first tournament of [[Generation III]] took place during [[Pokémon Festa]] 2003. Unlike previous Japanese tournaments, two divisions were available: a Level 50 and a Level 100 Division. The tournament used the Single Battle format, and only Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]] could be used.

The following tournament took place at Pokémon Festa 2004. This tournament used the Double Battle format. Unlike single battles, each player selected four Pokémon for battle. In addition to the previous rules, new restrictions were placed on nicknames: no vulgarities are to be used nor any Pokémon could be named after another Pokémon (e.g. a Smeargle nicknamed "KYOGRE").

As {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} were released earlier that year, almost all of the Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] were available for use.

A small competition called the [[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]] took place in 2005 to commemorate the international release of {{game|Emerald}}.

The tournament used the Single Battle format. Unlike other Generation III tournaments, all items were banned.

Following the ''[[Pokémon Emerald Ultimate Frontier Brain Battle]]'', another North American tournament took place during the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]] tour in 2006 commemorating Pokémon's 10th anniversary.

The rules were similar to the Pokémon Festa 2004 rules; however, only event Pokémon were banned.

==Generation IV==

===In the games===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, six Cups were introduced for wireless battles in the Pokémon Colosseum Club Colosseum, many of which are similar to those in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]. In addition, players can set the levels of all Pokémon to 50 or 100 during [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] battles.

[[Mix Battle]]s were also introduced, wherein players swap one Pokémon with each other from a team of three, then battle.

Unlike Pokémon Emerald, Diamond and Pearl does not have a Battle Frontier, only a {{si|Battle Tower}}. In addition, a level cap of 50 is established.

====Pokémon Battle Revolution====
Colosseums made their return in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; however, like the [[Stadium Cup]]s, each Colosseum features a special rule. Each battle takes place in a Level 30 or a Level 50 mode, and can eventually be challenged in a Single or a Double Battle format. Players may use [[Rental Pass]]es or [[Custom Pass]]es in any Colosseum except for the Gateway Colosseum, which restricts the player to Rental Passes.

Under Colosseum battles, the sleep, freeze, species, item, and self-KO clauses are followed.

In addition, Pokémon Battle Revolution features a mode of online play against random players, a system that eventually carried on to Pokémon Black and White. Battles can be conducted in a single or Double Battle format, with each player selecting three or four Pokémon before battle. All Pokémon are set to level 50, Pokémon nicknames are not used, and Trainer quotes are set to default. Other than that, there are no further restrictions.

====Pokémon Platinum====
As with Pokémon Emerald, a new {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} incorporated the Battle Tower and added four other battle facilities: the Battle Factory, Battle Arcade, Battle Castle, and Battle Hall. Each facility has a set of rules to be followed, all depending on the format of battle selected.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[Flat Battle]] mode was introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver at the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum. Regardless of rule set, all Pokémon are set to level 50 for the duration of the battle. The exact same Battle Frontier from Pokémon Platinum also made a return.

===In tournaments===
====???====
The first tournament for [[Generation IV]] took place in [[Pokémon Festa]] 2006, wherein Pokémon only found in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex#Diamond and Pearl edition|original Sinnoh Pokédex]] were eligible. No Pokémon are allowed to hold [[Soul Dew]], which remained a banned item throughout all Generation IV competitions from 2006 to 2010.

====Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008====
The [[Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008]] took place in the in-game [[Double Cup]]. For the first time it implemented the '''Junior''' and '''Senior''' age divisions on Pokémon Video Game tournaments that were originally from the TCG tournaments, so younger players would have a fairer chance on competition.

====Pokémon Video Game Championships 2009====

In 2009, the Pokémon Video Game Championships were included in the yearly Pokémon [[World Championships]], which previously only featured the TCG. In the [[2009 World Championships|Video Game World Championships for 2009]], players could only use {{game|Platinum}}, and the alternate [[form]]s introduced in Platinum were ineligible. The [[Double Cup]] rules were reinstated. {{p|Dragonite}} could not be used unless players used an event Dragonite given out at level 50.

====Pokémon Video Game Championships 2010====
In 2010, powerful legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Mewtwo}} were allowed once again in the [[2010 World Championships]]. These Pokémon, referred to as '''special Pokémon''', were limited to two per battle, but four were allowed per team. Event-only Pokémon such as {{p|Mew}} were still banned.

The tournament used only {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and the rules followed the [[GS Cup]] rule set found in [[Flat Battle]] mode. All Pokémon above level 50 were leveled down to 50, while Pokémon below level 50 would retain their levels. This meant that non-event {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} could now compete. While Item Clause was in effect, players could switch items between Pokémon in-between games.

==Generation V==
===In the games===
====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} introduced [[Triple Battle]]s, [[Rotation Battle]]s, and the [[Wonder Launcher]] were introduced, the last of which is only available on multiplayer. As with the introduction of [[Double Battle]]s, these introduced a new set of rules to be followed when battling under these formats.

Black and White also brought about the [[Pokémon Global Link]], with the [[Global Battle Union]] alongside it. Accessible in [[Pokémon Center]]s is the new Random Matchup mode wherein players may face random opponents over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] without Friend Codes. Any type of battle may be selected. Random Matchup follows its own set of rules for every format available, which updates at times. It also presents a ranking system, with worldwide ranks available on the Global Battle Union section of the Global Link.

===In tournaments===
====Global Battle Union tournaments====
{{main|Global Battle Union#Competitions|Global Battle Union}}
The Global Battle Union hosts its own tournaments via the Battle Competition option on the game menu, and acts similarly to Random Matchup. These tournaments are participated entirely through Wi-Fi connection, and randomly match the player with an opponent. Players are not eliminated, but instead lose points for losing. Each tournament can be joined by anyone with the appropriate region set on their accounts on the Global Link if there is space, and these tournaments each have their own set of rules. All Pokémon used must be placed in the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}}.

====Pokémon Video Game Championships 2011====
The [[2011 World Championships|2011 Video Game Championships]] became the venue for the first [[Generation V]] tournament. As with the first tournaments of [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] may be used. The tournament continued to use the Double Battle format, and due to a [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]] {{m|Sky Drop}} was banned in this format.

The '''Griseous Core''' (Japanese: '''だいはっきんだま''' ''Great [[Griseous Orb|Platinum Orb]]'') is an item introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It allows {{p|Giratina}} to change between its {{DL|Giratina (Pokémon)|Form data|Altered and Origin Formes}}. It was a [[Key Item]] in [[Generation VIII]]. It is one of the [[Pokémon of Myth orbs|orbs]] associated with the [[Pokémon of Myth]].

==In the core series games==
===Effect===
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, when the Griseous Core is used from the [[satchel]] on Giratina, it switches between its Altered and Origin Formes.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, if a Giratina is holding a Griseous Core, it changes to its Origin Forme. Additionally, it boosts Giratina's {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ghost}} moves by 20%.

==Trivia==
* The Griseous Core's effect was previously granted in [[Generation IV]] through [[Generation VIII|VIII]] if Giratina was holding the [[Griseous Orb]] instead. As of [[Generation IX]], the Griseous Orb only boosts the power of Giratina's {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ghost}} moves by 20% when held, but no longer changes Giratina to its Origin Forme.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

2024-08-02T01:42:05Z

FlitPix: /* List of games */ add Red Rescue Team NSO release

[[File:Pokémon Mystery Dungeon logo.png|thumb|Logo]]
The '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョン''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'', also '''ポケダン''' ''Pokédan''<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/special/dungeon/information/08.html Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness official website] (Japanese)</ref>) is a series of {{spin-off games}} developed by [[Spike Chunsoft]]. Being the longest-running series of spin-off games, it currently includes eleven different games, and has been expanded into several manga and several anime specials.

==History==
[[File:PSMD poster.png|thumb|A poster from {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, featuring characters from all entries in the series except for the WiiWare games]]
The first pair of games in the series, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, were released on the [[Game Boy Advance]] and the [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on November 17, 2005, in North America on September 18, 2006, and elsewhere during the rest of 2006 and 2007. The games feature all 386 Pokémon from [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}. An anime adaptation loosely based on the game, ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', first aired in Japan on March 23, 2007 and in the United States on September 8, 2006. A manga series based on the games, ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]'', was also released. In South Korea, only Blue Rescue Team was released, but the free PC demo [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gold Rescue Team]] was also available.

The second pair, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, were released on the Nintendo DS in Japan on September 13, 2007, in North America on April 20, 2008, and elsewhere during the rest of 2008. They introduced almost all of the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon into the series, excluding {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Arceus}}, which were not officially revealed at the time. Another anime adaptation, ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', first aired in Japan on September 9, 2007. It aired almost a year later in the United States on September 1, 2008. The manga ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness (manga)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness]]'' were also based on the games.

Their [[Core series#Release model|third version]], {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, was released in Japan on April 18, 2009, in North America on October 12, 2009, and in Australia and Europe in November 2009. This game has several additions to the storyline of Time and Darkness, including the addition of the Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}}. The most recent anime adaptation, ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', aired in Japan on April 12, 2009, airing in the US a few months later, on October 9, 2009.

On August 4, 2009, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad!, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!]] were released for the [[Wii]] only in Japan as WiiWare games. Each game is slightly different from each other, with less story and background than other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. The three are the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games not to be released internationally and to be released exclusively on digital media, and are the first to be released on a home console.

The first solitary title, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, was released in Japan on November 23, 2012, in North America on March 24, 2013, and in Europe and Australia in May 2013 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The game features [[Generation V]] Pokémon in addition to Pokémon from previous generations. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Animated Shorts|Two animated shorts]] based on the games were also produced.

{{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, the most recent entry in the series, was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in Japan on September 17, 2015, in North America on November 20, 2015, and in Europe and Australia in February 2016. Being released during [[Generation VI]], the game features all 720 Pokémon revealed at the time. Unlike previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, the game features cameo appearances by many characters who appeared in earlier entries.

On January 9, 2020, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], a remake of Red and Blue Rescue Team, was announced. It was released for [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on March 6, 2020. It is a mostly faithful remake with the addition of gameplay changes and enhancements and cross-generational evolutions.

==Gameplay==
{{main|Mystery Dungeon game mechanics}}
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is an adaptation of the ''{{wp|Mystery Dungeon}}'' games. Like the [[core series]] Pokémon games, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the core series games, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.

The size of a [[party]] is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (three in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]), compared to six in the core series games. Furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place. The type of AI used by team members can be changed.

Most of the gameplay takes place within [[Mystery Dungeon]]s, with many floors and hostile Pokémon. Due to the many dangers, [[Team|exploration team]]s prepare for the challenges by using the many services offered at Pokémon settlements such as [[Pokémon Square]] and [[Treasure Town]].

The games also feature storylines common in the aspects of the player having been transformed into a Pokémon and lost all memory of being a human, and an emotional separation from the befriended [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] at the end of the main plot before the credits.

FlitPix: Update moveset alteration section

{{outdated|article|Generation IX information}}
{{search|generic process of sending Pokémon to another game|the specific Generation V feature|Poké Transfer}}
{{samename|mechanic in [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]|Released Pokémon}}
'''Transferring''' is a process in which Pokémon are sent from one game to another without [[trade|trading]]. The recipient game does not send a Pokémon back. Most commonly, transfers are one-way from a game in one [[generation]] to a game in a later generation (except in [[Generation IX]] where it is possible to transfer back to [[Generation VIII]]). The exact process usually differs for different generations.

==Precursors==
Transfers did not yet exist in [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]]. Instead, these are the only generations to support [[trade|trading]] between them.

The [[Time Capsule]] allows Pokémon to be traded between Generation I and Generation II, conceptually acting as a [[Time travel|time machine]] bridging the [[History of the Pokémon world|three years]] between events in each generation. As with all Generation I/II trades, it requires two systems connected by a [[Game Link Cable]], or via local wireless in the Virtual Console releases. It does not allow trading of any {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} or any Pokémon that know [[move]]s introduced in Generation II.

[[Generation III]] is the only generation where there is no method to receive Pokémon from past generation games.

==Transfer methods==
Transferring was introduced in [[Generation IV]] and has remained in all generations afterward. Therefore, it is possible to transfer a Pokémon from Generation III to any future generation through a chain of transfers. With the [[Virtual Console]] releases of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and an update to [[Poké Transporter]] in [[Generation VII]], it became possible for the first time since Generation II to have Pokémon from all generations in a single game (though Generation I and II Pokémon still cannot be transferred to a generation between III and VI).

Pokémon that cannot be [[trade]]d for technical or plot reasons also cannot be transferred, including [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]; the fused versions of {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}; and the {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and partner {{p|Eevee}}.

===To Generation IV===
The [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[dual-slot mode]] allows Pokémon to be transferred from [[Generation III]] games to [[Generation IV]] games. When a Generation IV game is started with a Generation III game in the console's Game Pak Slot, if [[Pal Park]] has been visited in the game, the option to "Migrate from [game]" will be available on the [[main menu]]. (Due to the removal of the Game Pak Slot for the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]], Pokémon cannot be transferred to Generation IV on DSi or 3DS consoles.)

Six Pokémon can be migrated at a time and, in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Pokémon can only be migrated once every 24 hours. In the destination game, the migrated Pokémon will be available at [[Pal Park]] for the player to catch in a Catching Show. The [[Park Ball]]s used in Catching Shows always capture a Pokémon when thrown; however, Pokémon captured during the Catching Show retain the kind of Poké Ball they were caught in in a Generation III game.

This is the only generation where transferred Pokémon retain their [[held item]]s.

===To Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are two methods of transferring Pokémon from Generation IV: [[Poké Transfer]] and the [[Relocator]]. Poké Transfer is the general transfer method, while the Relocator is a special method of transferring a few specific [[event Pokémon]]. Either method requires two systems and uses the system's built-in wireless communication.

Poké Transfer is used by visiting the [[Poké Transfer Lab]] on {{rt|15|Unova}} in a Generation V game. A {{tc|Scientist}} at the back of the lab will allow the player to start Poké Transfer on their game, at which point a system with a [[Generation IV]] game must be started and the Poké Transfer application must be selected from the system's DS Download Play option. Six Pokémon can be sent to the Generation V game from the Generation IV game via the downloaded application. These Pokémon must then be captured in a time-limited slingshot minigame; any Pokémon that are not caught will remain in the Generation IV game.

The Relocator is only available in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Only the {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}} distributed to commemorate the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] can be transferred with the Relocator. The Relocator can be found in [[Castelia City]] and must be unlocked with the correct keywords.

===To Generations VI and VII (excluding Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)===
[[Pokémon Bank]] and its companion application [[Poké Transporter]] are used for transfer to the [[Generation VI]] games and the [[Generation VII]] games excluding [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. Transfer from multiple generations is possible:
* Pokémon from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of Generations I and II can be sent to Pokémon Bank through Poké Transporter, and may be withdrawn in Generation VII games.
* Pokémon from [[Generation V]] can be sent to Pokémon Bank through Poké Transporter, and may be withdrawn in Generation VI or VII games.
* Pokémon from Generation VI can use two-way transfer with Pokémon Bank. This also applies to Pokémon that originated from [[Pokémon Bank#Event distributions|Pokémon Bank distribution events]] during Generation VI. However, once a Pokémon has been withdrawn once in a Generation VII game, it cannot be transferred back into Generation VI.
* Pokémon from Generation VII can use two-way transfer with Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are incompatible with Bank and other Generation VII games under all circumstances.

Transfer restrictions:
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank (but may be traded with other copies of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]).
* [[Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized]] {{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, and {{p|Togedemaru}} cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank (but may be traded with other copies of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]).

===To Generation VIII and IX (as well as Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)===
The following transfers are possible:
* Pokémon from Pokémon Bank can be sent to [[Pokémon HOME]], and may be withdrawn in [[Generation VIII]].
* Pokémon from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can use two-way transfer with Pokémon HOME. However, once a Pokémon has been in a Generation VIII or IX game, it cannot be transferred back into Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
* Pokémon from [[Pokémon GO]] can be transferred to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! through the [[GO Park]], and to Pokémon HOME through the [[GO Transporter]]. Pokémon from the GO Transporter can be withdrawn in Generation VIII or IX, assuming it exists in the game data.
* Pokémon from Generation VIII and IX can use two-way transfer with Pokémon HOME. This also applies to Pokémon that originated from [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)|Pokémon HOME]] [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation IX)|distribution events]] during Generation VIII or IX.
* Pokémon from [[Generation IX]] can be transferred backwards to any Generation VIII game and vice versa, assuming they exist in the receiving game’s data.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and Generations VIII and IX, not all Pokémon and forms exist in the coding of each game, and HOME will only permit a Pokémon to be withdrawn if both the Pokémon and the specific form exists in the coding of the destination game. Compatible Pokémon for a particular game may be expanded with updates over time.

The following 12 Pokémon lack a compatible game in Generations VIII and IX, and cannot be withdrawn into any of those games at all:

{{ResponsiveList/f}}
{{reflist|group=note}}

Additional transfer restrictions:
* [[Gigantamax]] Factor {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Duraludon}}{{tt|*|v.3.2.1 onward}} cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* {{p|Spinda}} cannot be transferred in either direction between HOME and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.
* {{p|Nincada}} originally from Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl cannot be withdrawn in any game other than (another copy of) Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, and Nincada originally from outside of Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl cannot be withdrawn in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.
* If one Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl save file has two of a Pokémon species that is normally only [[caught|catchable]] once per save file (such as {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}), and neither has been deposited into HOME before, only one may be deposited, even if the two have different [[OT]]s.

These restrictions occur for a variety of technical and [[glitch]]-prevention reasons (see the [[Pokémon HOME#Limitations|Limitations]] section of the [[Pokémon HOME]] article for details).

====Moveset alteration====
Similar to the situation between Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee!, the paired releases of Generation VIII and IX have significant coding differences, and thus cannot [[trade]] with each other (direct trade is only possible with another copy of the same game or its paired counterpart). In this sense, the generations are split into four "game environments": Sword/Shield, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet/Violet.

Different game environments also have different [[move]] lists. To allow Pokémon to be transferred between them despite these differences, [[Pokémon HOME]] tracks the game-specific data of each Pokémon, and assigns appropriate movesets whenever the Pokémon's game environment changes.
* If a Pokémon enters a game environment that it has never been in before, it will be assigned a moveset of its 4 most recent level-up moves in the destination game.
** Example: a [[level]] 20 {{p|Pikachu}} caught in Sword is transferred to Brilliant Diamond. Upon arrival in Brilliant Diamond, the Pikachu will have a moveset of {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Feint}}, {{m|Electro Ball}}, and {{m|Double Team}}.
* If the Pokémon returns to a game environment that it has previously been in before, it will regain its previous moveset data for that environment.
** Example: if the Pikachu from the previous example is transferred back into Sword or Shield, its moveset from the last time it was in Sword or Shield will be restored. If it is transferred into Brilliant Diamond again, its moveset from the last time it was in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl will be restored.

|image_size=256
|type=forest
|location_name=Entralink
|japanese_name=ハイリンク
|translated_name=Hilink

}}

The '''Entralink''' (Japanese: '''ハイリンク''' ''Hilink'') is a clearing that is located in central [[Unova]]. It can be accessed via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]]. The '''Entree Forest''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ハイリンクの森|ハイリンクのもり}}''' ''Hilink Forest'') is located in the north of the Entralink.

==Access==
The player can enter the Entralink from land in any open area (areas where {{m|Fly}} can be used), except {{un|Victory Road}}. However, several tiles which NPCs may occupy—such as in front of [[Icirrus Gym]] and the tile which walking Trainers appear on upon entering the area—cannot be warped from. The player cannot enter Entralink while {{m|Surf}}ing.

==Features==
There are several key features of the Entralink that appear in all Generation V games. The Entree Forest allows players to catch Pokémon met in the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. If there are items from the {{pkmn|Dream World}} waiting to be picked up, a little boy to the left of the Entree Forest's entrance will give the player these "Dream Remnants". The Entree serves as the core of the Entralink and is where the player can accept missions. There is an orange warp tile to the south.

In Black and White, the Entralink is a place where a player can connect to another player's world via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]].

In Black 2 and White 2, the Entralink serves as the hub for Funfest Missions, but no longer allows the visiting of other players' worlds.

===Entree===
The Entree is the tree with a blue hexagonal shape on its front, located in the middle of the Entralink. The Entree is used to activate Pass Powers, which are purchased with [[Pass Orb]]s, and to accept missions. In Black and White, Entralink Missions can only be accepted at other players' Entrees; in Black 2 and White 2, Funfest Missions are accepted at the player's own Entree, and other players' worlds cannot be visited.

When entering the Entralink for the first time, the Entree is a small tree, but it grows as the player completes missions.

In Black and White, it starts as a circular bud which is slightly grayish in color. As the Entree grows, it spirals outwards and its color changes according to the composition of its ★Black and ☆White levels. Growth of the Entree may only be done by completing missions in other players' worlds.

In Black 2 and White 2 the Entree has been redesigned, and now looks like two twist ties which are black and white twisting around each other with tufts of leaves on top.

===Entree Forest===
[[File:Entralink Forest BW.png|thumb|200px|The Entree Forest]]
The Entree Forest is used to catch Pokémon that the {{player}} has encountered in the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. To catch these Pokémon, the player is given a [[Dream Ball]], though using it is not required. When catching a Pokémon in Entree Forest, any [[Poké Ball]], regardless of the type, will catch the Pokémon without fail. There are two places inside known as the Forest Clearing and the Deepest Clearing.

The Forest Clearing consists of multiple clearings in the woods, while the Deepest Clearing is another area, capable of holding up to 10 Pokémon, reached by traveling through the northern parts of the Forest Clearing. Most Pokémon are automatically transferred to the first clearing once materialized from the Dream World; however, some Pokémon such as {{p|Arceus}} are specifically designed to appear in other clearings. To transfer them to the Deepest Clearing, the player must speak to the Pokémon and refuse to catch it; the option will then appear. Alternatively, if the player's [[party]] and all of their [[Pokémon Storage System|Boxes]] are full, then this option will appear by default. Players begin with 6 sections to their Forest Clearing and one Deepest Clearing; however, if they are all full with 20 Pokémon each, the player's forest will grow larger to accommodate more Pokémon.

==={{anchor|Pass Power}}Pass Powers===
Pass Powers are special temporary or one-time bonuses that are purchased using Pass Orbs. When used via the Tag Log, Pass Powers provide useful boosts or effects that affect all nearby people connected wirelessly. Pass Powers are mysterious powers granted by the Entree.

There are a total of 33 Pass Powers and obtaining all of them is a requirement for the player to upgrade his or her {{ga|Trainer Card}}. This is achieved when both the ★Black and ☆White levels of the player's Entree reaches at least 30.

====List of Pass Powers====
Pass Powers obtained from the Entree can be registered in the [[C-Gear]] and shared with other people connected wirelessly using the Tag Log. The effect of these Pass Powers varies from ↑ to ↑↑↑, or ↓ to ↓↓↓ , and lasts only 3 minutes (with the exception of HP and PP Restoring Power, which take effect immediately).

Similar Pass Powers with strengths S and MAX may be used on other players when completing missions in their Entralink. The strength of the Pass Power used (S or MAX) depends on the mission and the level of that player's Entree. Powers with strength S and MAX act identically to their ↑↑↑ counterparts, but for a longer period of time (with the exception of Full Recovery Power).

===Visiting other players===
In Black and White (but not in Black 2 or White 2, where the bridge was removed from the game), players may choose to visit each others' worlds via the Entralink. To do that, one player must be inside the Entralink while another must be located in one of the following locations which form a hexagon surrounding the Entralink:
* [[Nimbasa City]]
* [[Driftveil City]]
* [[Mistralton City]]
* [[Icirrus City]]
* [[Opelucid City]]
* [[Lacunosa Town]]
* [[Undella Town]]
* [[Black City]]/[[White Forest]]
* [[Marvelous Bridge]]
* [[Village Bridge]]
* [[Driftveil Drawbridge]]
* [[Tubeline Bridge]]
* Routes {{rtn|5|Unova}}, {{rtn|6|Unova}}, {{rtn|7|Unova}}, {{rtn|8|Unova}}, {{rtn|9|Unova}}, {{rtn|11|Unova}}, {{rtn|12|Unova}}, {{rtn|13|Unova}}, {{rtn|14|Unova}}, {{rtn|15|Unova}}, and {{rtn|16|Unova}}

The other player must not be inside a building.

The visiting player would have to stand on the connecting bridges at the sides of the Entralink to make a connection and the other player's C-Gear must be on as well to establish a connection. Once connected, the visiting player would then be able to enter the other player's Entralink by crossing the barrier.

Upon entering, the visiting player would have their overworld sprite changed and appear in a black-and-white version of Unova. Everything is the same as the original, except that the visiting player cannot enter buildings or certain places, and all the routes and towns are connected via warp portals instead of connectors.

The visiting player can also keep track of the other player's location at the bottom screen and warp to the different towns by simply tapping with the stylus. The visiting player may also access the other player's Entree to register available Pass Powers to their own C-Gear, or to begin missions to help the other player.

Up to two players may connect to the same player's world. The third player may also choose to intercept a mission by completing it before the player who initiated it.

===Entralink Missions===
In Black and White, the visiting player may choose to accept missions on another player's Entree. There are 6 different missions available for completion, and these require the two players to interact with each other within a specific time limit (with exception of the Item-hiding missions, which fails when the visiting player is talked to).

Upon the successful completion of a mission, the visiting player would be rewarded with Pass Orbs and the growth of the player's own Entree. The growth of the visiting player's Entree depends on the version of the player visited: if the visiting player completed a mission on Pokémon Black, the ★Black level of the visiting player would increase by 1.

Also, completed missions would be indicated on a player's Entree by a black or white marking depending on the version of the visiting player. If the visiting player was playing Pokémon White and completed the top-left mission, the top-left mark of the mission selection screen would 'light up' as White. This has no significance except when a bonus is awarded to the visiting player for completing the last mission: if five missions are 'lit up' as White and the visiting player with Pokémon White completes the last mission, their Entree would have a bonus growth of 6 ☆White levels.

There are 6 different kinds missions for the player to complete. When the visiting player accepts a mission, his or her sprite will change accordingly to the mission. The 6 kinds of missions are:

* '''Top-left''': Help mission. The other player must talk to the visiting player.
* '''Top-right''': Help mission. The visiting player must talk to the other player.
* '''Mid-left''': Battle mission. The visiting player must challenge the other player to a 2-on-2 flat battle.
* '''Mid-right''': Rescue mission. The visiting player helps the other player when battling a wild Pokémon (or when in a battle).
* '''Bottom-left''': Item-hiding mission. The visiting player hides an item somewhere for the other player to find.
* '''Bottom-right''': Item-selling mission. The visiting player must successfully sell an overpriced item to the other player.

====Support Missions====
Support Missions give the player the task of having to find the Entralink host and giving them a special power. These powers are enhanced versions of the standard [[#Pass Powers and Pass Orbs|Pass Powers]] and last longer. The tasks are listed below.

====Item Missions====
There are two different kinds of item missions. The first kind of mission requires the player to ''sell an item'' to the other player at a price 50% higher than its usual cost. The mission fails if the player is turned down.

The second kind of mission requires the player to ''hide an item'' somewhere in the other player's world '''within 3 minutes'''. The mission fails if the player is spoken to while completing the mission. This mission cannot be selected if the area the item is supposed to be hidden has not been visited by the player in their own world. The items that can be hidden are [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], [[Heal Ball]], [[Net Ball]], [[Nest Ball]], [[Quick Ball]], [[Dusk Ball]], [[Timer Ball]], [[Repeat Ball]], [[Dive Ball]], and [[Luxury Ball]].

The areas and places where the item may be hidden are listed below.

==In the manga==
[[File:Entralink Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Entree in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Entralink and the Entree first appeared in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', where {{adv|Black}} was seen there after he had fainted due to the shock of [[Musha]] leaving him.

Entralink appeared again in ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', where Black and {{adv|Cheren}} fainted during their {{un|Pokémon League}} battle and saw child versions of themselves sitting by the Entree and writing down their dreams about Black aiming to win the Pokémon League and Cheren wanting to support him in achieving his goal.

===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', {{adv|White}} traveled to the Entralink at [[Fennel]]'s request to search for the [[Light Stone]], as she had figured out that the stone was connected to the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Shortly after arriving, White managed to find and retrieve the Light Stone, but was then unexpectedly approached by {{adv|N}} and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}. N assured White that he was not against her, and told her how he and Zekrom had encountered the Light Stone while flying through the sky and followed it, until the Light Stone had suddenly changed course and landed at the Entralink, wanting to be found by White.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Entralink draws inspiration from the {{wp|Tokyo Imperial Palace}}, and is located where {{wp|Central Park}} is in the real world.

After the player fulfills a particular objective during their adventure, another group of Pokémon are added to the pool of possible encounters. It shares this encounter table with the [[Grassland Cave]]. The spawn rates for certain [[type]]s are influenced by the active "Statue Effect" applied by a player's [[Grand Underground#Secret Base|Secret Base]] [[Grand Underground#Pokémon Statues|Statues]].

[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|left|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region.]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of Professor Westwood of [[Celadon University]].

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

In the anime, prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.
{{-}}

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags. When a Trainer [[Dynamax|Dynamaxes]] or [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], when the {{ga|partner Pokémon}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. A similar mechanism is suggested to exist in the games, with the Paradise Protection Protocol issuing a lock signal that disables the use of any Poké Balls that do not have a specific ID.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.
{{-}}

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectrier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball at a wild [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Pokémon]] until it is sufficiently weakened, breaking through its transformation.

==Types of Poké Balls==
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 34 (38 if the Hisuian Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Heavy Ball) are counted as individual varieties) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball. This also applies if the parents are different [[regional form]]s. Much like the Cherish Ball or Master Ball, the Strange Ball introduced in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be inherited and resulting offspring will be in standard Poké Balls.

Regardless of type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

Starting in [[Generation III]], each type of Poké Ball has an [[index number]] associated with it that is stored in the [[Pokémon data substructures (Generation_III)#Origins|data structure]] of the Pokémon when {{pkmn2|caught}} or otherwise obtained a given type of ball. [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] did not store this data, resulting in any Pokémon [[transfer]]red from [[Virtual Console]] via [[Poké Transporter]] being placed into standard Poké Balls. Pokémon caught in [[Park Ball]]s within [[Pal Park]] will retain their original Poké Ball and index number from Generation III. Pokémon originating from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} which are then transferred into another game, (vice versa for those caught outside Legends: Arceus and then transferred in), will be displayed in [[Strange Ball]]s while visiting a game where the Pokémon's ball is not programmed into the game, but will still retain its original index number. Pokémon originating from Legends: Arceus visiting {{g|Sword and Shield}} will temporarily have their ball converted into a standard Poké Ball, with their original ball data being stored in [[Pokemon HOME]]'s server.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on May 22, 2023, as a reward from the Let's GO! [[Special Research]]. Future opportunities to get Master Balls are planned.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/masterball/ Never miss with the Master Ball—coming soon to Pokémon GO!]</ref> Previously, Master Balls were coded into the game since its initial release, but went unused.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade (Pinball)}}

In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

====Bonus points====
* The [[Poké Ball (item)|Poké Ball]] has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|left|250px|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'']]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'').

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the anime and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the anime. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|Legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{p|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}. Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]]. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Colress as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s.

Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, found only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it on their bench, whereas the {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, also found in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows them to search for Evolution Pokémon for the amount of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first found in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first found in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first found in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first found in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first found in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first found in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

===Trophy information===
====[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]====
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]====
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
=====Poké Ball=====
[[File:Poké Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Poké Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''
{{-}}

=====Master Ball=====
[[File:Master Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Master Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* Numerous sprites in the [[Generation III]] core series games have off-color Poké Balls due to sprite palette limitations. While they are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls, their color scheme is sometimes distinct from the usual color scheme.
* A [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.
* In {{g|UNITE}}, in addition to the regular Poké Balls a Trainer will use to send out their own Pokémon, they use a unique variety of Poké Ball. These Poké Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Poké Ball a "U" design. These Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon in UNITE battles, and appear to have a 100% catch rate. They also determine the amount of points a Trainer's current Pokémon has. A Trainer can throw multiple balls at once.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a two-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.
* [[Roy]] is in possession of an antique Poké Ball that he refers to as the Ancient Poké Ball. It was found by [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] and later given to him. It first appeared in [[HZ004]], where Roy mentioned how he had never managed to open it. In [[HZ006]], the ball reacted with [[Liko]]'s pendant and opened to reveal a {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} that flew away soon after. The ball is said to have belonged to an ancient adventurer who once commanded Rayquaza.

===In the manga===
====The Electric Tale of Pikachu====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====Pokémon Adventures====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls have appeared in the {{chap|Sword & Shield}}, having been used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Basic Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon, but if a coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, searching for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is another Team Magma Poké Ball variant, found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a basic {{e|Fighting}} energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is another Team Aqua Poké Ball variant, also found in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a basic {{e|Water}} energy instead.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|left|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], fake item balls appear upside down.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* In the earlier volumes of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Poké Balls captured and released Pokémon in large puffs of smoke, often with a strong sound effect. This may have been based on the capture and release animations in Generation I and II. As [[Generation III]] onwards exchanged the smoke effect for Ball-specific animations, the effect in the manga shifted instead to bursts of light.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in Generation III, all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.

Pokémon Storage System

2022-05-17T01:17:19Z

FlitPix: /* Features */ LA pasture increments may be incorrect

{{move|Pokémon storage system|note=As per [[Pokémon Box Link]] item description}}
A '''Pokémon Storage System''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンの{{tt|預かり|あずかり}}システム''' ''Pokémon Storage System'') allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be stored and transmitted as computer data. The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their [[party]]. The first such system was originally developed by [[Bill]]. In the [[core series]] games, most [[region]]s use nominally different versions of the Pokémon Storage System.

The Pokémon Storage System is typically accessed through [[PC]]s, which are typically found in [[Pokémon Center]]s, {{pkmn|Day Care}}s and {{pkmn|Nursery|Nurseries}}, and [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

Starting with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Pokémon Storage System is accessible through the [[Pokémon Box Link]] system in the game's menu, allowing the player to switch their party Pokémon at almost any point in the game.

==Versions==
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|right|220px|Bill's Pokémon Storage System in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Different Pokémon Storage Systems are used in different [[region]]s. The original Pokémon Storage System was developed by [[Bill]], and the systems used in other regions have all derived either directly or indirectly from Bill's system.

There are six Pokémon Storage Systems used in the [[core series]] regions:
* [[Bill]]'s Pokémon Storage System, used in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
* [[Lanette]]'s Pokémon Storage System, used in [[Hoenn]].
* [[Bebe]]'s Pokémon Storage System, used in [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Amanita]]'s Pokémon Storage System, used in [[Unova]].
* [[Cassius]]'s Pokémon Storage System, used in [[Kalos]].
* In [[Alola]], the Pokémon Storage System is maintained by [[Molayne]].
In the [[PC]], these systems are usually referred to as "Someone's PC" initially, but when the player meets the person responsible for creating or maintaining the region's Pokémon Storage System, the entry will change from "Someone" to the person's name (e.g., "Bill's PC").

There is arguably little to no canonical difference in the games between any of these systems, however. Those Pokémon Storage Systems that have appeared in multiple generations have not demonstrated a strict fidelity in any particular to their previous incarnations. Rather, Pokémon Storage System features tend to more closely follow the features of other contemporaneous games, regardless of the region or administrator. This is exemplified by Bill's PC and Lanette's PC, which have both seen major or moderate changes over their appearances in multiple generations.

A few other games also present different versions of Pokémon Storage Systems:
* In [[Orre]], two different Pokémon Storage Systems are featured in the games {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. No administrator is ever mentioned for these systems.
* [[Brigette]] manages the Pokémon Storage Systems in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Bank]].

[[My Pokémon Ranch]] also offers an alternative to the digital Pokémon Storage System. In My Pokémon Ranch, Pokémon from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and Japanese versions of {{game|Platinum}} can be sent to stay on a farm owned by [[Hayley]]. In a similar vein, in [[Hisui]], which is the Sinnoh region of the past, the player keeps their spare Pokémon in [[Pasture|pastures]] instead. The [[Pasture|pastures]] from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] are managed by [[Marie (Game)|Marie]].

==Limitations==
Prior to [[Generation III]], the Pokémon Storage System had several limitations.

One was the Box interface, which was a simple scrollable list of names in [[Generation I]], to which [[Generation II]] only added a picture of the currently selected Pokémon. In Generation III, however, the Box interface was upgraded to a full visual representation of the currently selected Box with each Pokémon therein represented by a miniature sprite.

Another significant limitation was a requirement to [[save]] when changing from one Box to another or when organizing Boxes (in Generation II). In Generation III, the game no longer needs to be saved when changing Boxes, so that Boxes can be switched and organized freely.

Another limitation in Generations I and II was the inability to catch [[wild Pokémon]] if both their party and the current Box are full. Until the player's current Box is a Box that is not full or the player's party is not full, the game prevents the player from even throwing a [[Poké Ball]]. From Generation III onward, if the current Box is full, when a new Pokémon is caught while the player's party is full, the game will simply send it to the next open Box.

There was also a minor change between Generations I and II. In Generation I, a Pokémon that was sent to the Pokémon Storage System retains its current HP value. From Generation II onward, a Pokémon that is sent to the Pokémon Storage System has it current HP reset to its maximum HP and is cured of any [[status condition]]. This feature was removed in [[Generation VIII]], due to the addition of the ability to access the Pokémon Storage System at any time, but Pokémon in Boxes are now healed along with the party at a Pokémon Center.

From [[Generation I]] to {{gen|III}}, the player cannot throw Poké Balls if they have no space in their party nor in their Pokémon Storage System for more Pokémon. Starting in [[Generation IV]], the player can throw Poké Balls while their party and Pokémon Storage System are both full, but any newly [[caught Pokémon]] are automatically released.

Starting in [[Generation V]], the number of Boxes in the Pokémon Storage System is initially limited, with only a few Boxes available. To unlock the next set of additional Boxes, each currently available Box must have at least one Pokémon in it. This makes [[save|saving]] the game quicker initially, as data belonging to locked boxes does not have to be touched. If the player is currently using the Storage System and has placed Pokémon in every Box to unlock more Boxes, the PC must be turned off and on again for the new Boxes to appear. These unlock requirements may be bypassed by using [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]].

In [[Generation VI]] and {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the final Box is only unlocked after catching a certain [[Legendary Pokémon]].
* {{g|X and Y}}: after capturing {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}.
* {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}: after capturing {{p|Rayquaza}} during the finale of the [[Delta Episode]].
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: after capturing {{p|Eternatus}}.
This unlock requirement cannot be bypassed with Pokémon Bank or Pokémon HOME. This ensures that the player will be able to (and forced to) catch the required Legendary Pokémon, unlike in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]] where the otherwise mandatory catching of {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} could be bypassed by completely filling the party and all 720 spaces in the Storage System beforehand.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, if the player's storage and party are both full before receiving {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} at [[Southern Island]] (either before traveling to Southern Island or before entering the inner grove), the player will be prevented from advancing until they make space.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the [[Pokémon Box]] is used instead of the Pokémon Storage System. The Pokémon Box is a single box that can hold up to 1,000 Pokémon. It is based on the storage system in [[Pokémon GO]].

In Legends: Arceus, the [[pasture]]s are used instead of the Pokémon Storage System. They are functionally identical, accessible in [[Jubilife Village]] or at any [[base camp]].

[[My Pokémon Ranch]] is also able to store 1,000 Pokémon. If an update to the game (which was only released in Japan) is applied, it can store 1,500 Pokémon.

===Printing===
{{main|Game Boy Printer#Pokémon Storage System|Game Boy Printer → Pokémon Storage System}}
In {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games, it was possible to print a Box's contents using the [[Game Boy Printer]]. In Pokémon Yellow, this is an option in the Pokémon Storage System's main menu. In Generation II, it is available in the Change Box mode. Game Boy Printer features are disabled in the [[Virtual Console]] release of Pokémon Yellow.

===Naming Boxes===
The ability to customize Box names was introduced in Generation II.

Starting in [[Generation V]], Box names are passed through a filter. This filter prohibits any [[List of censored words in Generation V|censored words]] from being used. In Pokémon Black and White, the filter prohibits words that contain more than four numerical characters. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the filter prohibits Box names that contain more than five numerical characters.

===Organizing===
Generation II introduced the first Pokémon Storage System mode explicitly for organizing Pokémon in Boxes. It allows the player to pick up a Pokémon and move it anywhere in the same or a different Box. However, in Generation II it can only move Pokémon that are not holding [[Mail]], and every move requires the game to be saved. In Generation II, the "Move Pokémon" mode only allows a Pokémon to be inserted before or after others. In Generation III, it became possible to switch two Pokémon instead.

{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} introduced a mode for explicitly manipulating the [[held item]]s of Pokémon in Boxes. This mode allows [[item]]s to be moved to or from the [[Bag]] or directly between two Pokémon. Starting in [[Generation IV]], an entry was added to the context menu in the Move Pokémon mode to allow the player to give a Pokémon an item from the Bag or to remove a Pokémon's item.

In Generation VI, the "Move Pokémon" mode was changed to "Organize Boxes" and, in addition to being able to move Pokémon, it also became possible to switch entire Boxes with each other. This is possible by tapping the button in the lower-left corner of the Box interface in the Organize Boxes mode.

In Generation VII, since PCs only feature the Pokémon Storage System and load it immediately, the organization modes are switched by pressing the X Button. The modes available are a Pokémon organization mode, an item organization mode, and a [[#Battle Box and Battle Teams|Battle Teams]] mode.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the [[Pokémon Box]] can be organized by invoking one of the several sorting features. The box can be sorted by order caught, Pokédex number, level (ascending or descending), CP (ascending or descending), favorites on top, or species name. A player can also search for specific Pokémon by name, [[type]]s, [[move]]s, [[TM]] compatibility, [[Nature]], [[gender]] or markings.

===Wallpaper===
{{main|Wallpaper}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, each box has a wallpaper, a background that can be selected from a predefined list of wallpapers.

Some wallpapers are unlocked during the course of the game or by entering special passwords.

===Markings===
{{main|Marking}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, the player can place markings on their Pokémon. They can be adjusted within the Pokémon Storage System, among other locations.

===Selection modes===
Starting in Generation III, the games began introducing shortcuts to expedite tasks in the Pokémon Storage System. Generation V introduced the fullest expression of these selection modes, with three separate modes.
* '''Default''': pops up a context menu when the Pokémon is selected.
* '''Relocate Mode''': automatically picks up a Pokémon or item when it is selected, foregoing the context menu. More generally, it automatically enacts the first option from the context menu.
* '''Group Move Mode''', or '''Tray''': allows any rectangular group of Pokémon to be selected, picked up, and moved together.
** In this selection mode, it is not possible to set Pokémon down if any of the selected Pokémon are over another Pokémon. They must all be over unoccupied positions.

In Generation III, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], the selection mode can be toggled between default and the Relocate Mode by pressing an assigned button.
* [[Generation III]] core games: <sc>select</sc> button
* {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}: X or Y buttons
* {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}: Y button
** In the Generation III games after {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Relocate Mode effectively combines the functionality of the Relocate and Group Move Modes. While in the Relocate Mode, holding the A button while pressing a directional button will allow the player to select a rectangular group of Pokémon just like a Group Move Mode.
* [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White]]: <sc>select</sc> button
These games have no explicit Group Move Mode, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} have no way of changing selection modes at all. These selection modes can be toggled within any Pokémon Storage System mode in Generations III and IV, but in Black and White, the withdraw and deposit modes can only use the default selection mode.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] and later games, all three selection modes are possible, but the withdraw and deposit modes of the Pokémon Storage System can only use the default selection mode and the Move items mode cannot use the Group Move selection mode. The selection mode can be changed by tapping buttons above the Box's header on the touch screen or by pressing an assigned button.
* [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]]: <sc>select</sc> button
* [[Generation VI]]+: <sc>select</sc> or <sc>start</sc> buttons

===Compare===
The Compare mode is an exclusive Pokémon Storage System feature in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. This mode allows the player to compare the [[Nature]] and [[stats]], [[Contest condition]], or [[move]]s of two Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System. Two buttons on the left and right of the bottom screen will lock in the corresponding Pokémon if tapped, so that the other Pokémon will change as the cursor moves.

===Filters===
Generation IV introduced the first filter feature in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. On the bottom screen in the Pokémon Storage System in these games (in all modes except Compare) there are two buttons, the right of which opens an interface for filtering Pokémon with given markings or held items (holding an item or not). This highlights those Pokémon that meet the specified criteria in the system's Boxes.

The feature next returned in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] and would persist into subsequent games. In Black 2 and White 2, the filter is only available for the Move Pokémon and Battle Box modes, and in Generation VI, it is only available for the Organize Boxes mode. The filter's options include: Name (any species the player has seen), [[Nature]], [[Ability]], [[Gender]] (male, female, or unknown), [[Held item|Held Item]] (holding or not), and Mark; in Generation VI, there are also options for: [[Type]] 1, Type 2, [[Move]], and [[TM]]s & [[HM]]s (compatibility). Generation VII adds an option to filter by the Battle Team a Pokémon is on.

{{anchor|Battle Box}}{{anchor|Battle Teams}}
===Battle Box and Battle Teams===
The Battle Box is a feature introduced in [[Generation V]]. It allows the player to store six Pokémon, which can be used instead of the current [[party]] in [[infrared]] link battles, the [[Battle Subway]], and Random Matchup in Generation V, and the [[Battle Maison]] and the {{DL|Player Search System|Battle Spot}} in Generation VI.

Tournaments which utilized the "Battle Competition" feature required its use; therefore, all the [[Global Battle Union]] tournaments required it. Once the user of the Battle Box registered their Pokémon team for an official tournament that used the "Battle Competition" feature, the team was locked in the Battle Box and could not be modified (even the reordering of moves) or removed from the Box until the end of the competition.

In Generation V, the Battle Box was a separate feature from the Storage Boxes and had to be selected from the menu of Amanita's PC. In Generation VI, the Battle Box became accessible from the Boxes directly, acting itself as the last Box in the lineup.

Battle Teams are an update to the Battle Box feature that were introduced in [[Generation VII]]. The player can register Pokémon from the Storage System to one of six different Battle Teams, and the same Pokémon can be registered to multiple teams. However, any registered Pokémon moved to the player's party will be removed from all Battle Teams. Also, the game prevents them from being traded or sent to Isle Evelup or Isle Avue at Poké Pelago until the player manually unregisters them.

==In other games==
[[File:GO Storage Upgrade.png|thumb|150px|The storage system in Pokémon GO]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Pokémon Box#Pokémon GO|Pokémon Box → Pokémon GO}}
In {{g|GO}}, the player has a Pokémon Box that can initially hold 250 Pokémon, including up to 12 {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the {{DL|Pokémon GO|Shop}} for {{PCoin}}200, which expands the capacity by 50 Pokémon. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 5,600 Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
A system for transferring Pokémon electronically exists, and is utilized in all [[Pokémon Center]]s as well as the labs of all [[Pokémon Professor]]s. However, unlike in the games, Pokémon are not stored electronically, and in this continuity, the developer of the system was [[Dr. Akihabara]]. [[EP038|On one occasion]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were able to invade this system in an attempt to steal Pokémon, but failed thanks to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

It also seems that the [[Pokédex]] automatically connects to this system when a capture is made while there are six Pokémon in a user's [[party]], as seen with the capture of [[Ash's Krabby]] in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''. {{an|Brock}} also states that there is a button on the Pokédex that can transfer Pokémon between the Trainer and where their Pokémon are sent. However, the Pokémon Storage System in Unova seems to lack this feature: in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', when Ash catches {{AP|Sewaddle}} as his seventh Pokémon, the Poké Ball shrinks and locks up instead of being teleported straight to the Pokémon Storage System.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
The Pokémon Storage System has been featured several times over the course of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Unlike the games, however, Trainers do not have a fixed limit to the number of Pokémon they can hold [[party|on hand]], and thus automatic teleportation of Poké Balls to the storage system does not seem to exist. Similar to the {{pkmn|games}}, Trainers can access the system through PCs to manage their Pokémon on hand. Pokémon in the System appear to be held by the regional Professor, similar to how {{an|Professor Oak}} holds onto {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but usually kept in their Poké Balls instead. Records for the Pokémon Storage System are managed by the respective regional developers.

===={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}====
The Pokémon Storage System was first mentioned in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'', when {{adv|Red}} found himself bogged down by a large number of Poké Balls containing Pokémon he has caught. After he encountered {{adv|Bill}} at [[Sea Cottage]], Bill helped Red to manage his Pokémon storage, allowing him to change his lineup over the course of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. In ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]'', Red discovered that his storage account has been broken into by [[Team Rocket]] so they could steal his {{p|Eevee}}, [[Vee]].

===={{chap|Yellow}}====
{{adv|Green}} attempted to infiltrate Sea Cottage and look at Bill's storage system records as a part of her investigation on Red's disappearance. With Bill's help, she learned that Red had accessed the system after his disappearance, confirming that he was alive.

===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Pokémon Storage System's breakdown was a notable subplot during this chapter, first mentioned in ''[[PS099|Sunkern Treasure]]''. As a result of the breakdown, no Pokémon could be transferred digitally, which posed a problem for {{adv|Crystal}}, as she had been tasked with catching Pokémon specimens all over the [[Johto]] [[region]] for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s research. In ''[[PS120|Surrounded by Staryu]]'', Crystal was given a portable transfer system, presented in the form of a cable that connects her Pokédex to her [[Pokégear]]. This allowed her to transfer Pokémon she caught to the receiver at the end, although since the portable system was still a prototype, transfers could only be done one-way. The breakdown was eventually revealed to be the work of [[Neo Team Rocket]], who had stolen all the electrical power needed for the system to work, and was fixed by Bill in time to allow Trainers from all over the region to transfer their Pokémon and help in calming the rampaging {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}} in [[Ilex Forest]].

===={{chap|Emerald}}====
Crystal was seen managing the Pokémon Storage System from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] so she could send {{adv|Emerald}} the Pokémon he needed while challenging the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===={{chap|Platinum}}====
{{adv|Platinum}} accessed the Pokémon Storage System to retrieve her new Pokémon, tasking them with the investigation of [[Stark Mountain]] after the disappearance of {{adv|Looker}} and [[Buck]]. Later in the chapter, [[Team Galactic]]'s actions created technical interference that caused the Storage System link in between the [[Battle Zone]] and mainland [[Sinnoh]] to fail, preventing the transportation of Pokémon in between the two areas.

===={{chap|X & Y}}====
After capturing {{adv|Zygarde}} in [[Anistar City]], [[Emma|Essentia]] hid it in the Pokémon Storage System due to her Expansion Suit's malfunction limiting [[Team Flare]]'s control over her. After [[Lysandre]] placed Essentia directly under his control, he discovered where Zygarde had disappeared to and had Essentia withdraw it to be used against Team Flare's enemies. The withdrawal was detected by [[Cassius]], allowing him to track down Essentia.

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the only way to fill the Storage System is to specifically [[trade]] over multiple {{p|Nincada}} and then evolve them into {{p|Shedinja}}, since the game has no [[wild Pokémon]] and trading otherwise doesn't change the number of Pokémon in the game. This is the only way to read the in-game message "''The box is full. You can't Snag any more Pokémon.''" if the player attempts to catch a Shadow Pokémon with full PC boxes and party. Normally the game can never fill more than 55 of the 90 Box slots (48 ordinary Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, two [[gift Pokémon]], and the three Japanese [[e-Reader]]-exclusive Shadow Pokémon).

Kanto Route 5

'''Route 5''' (Japanese: '''５{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 5'') is a [[route]] located in northern [[Kanto]]. It connects [[Cerulean City]] in the north to [[Saffron City]] in the south. The northern terminus of the [[Underground Path (Kanto Routes 5-6)|Underground Path]] is located on this route.

==Route description==
Route 5 is a small pathway that is divided into three vertical parts: two pathways and a one-way, grass-filled middle with [[ledge]]s that separates the two two-way paths. This middle section, accessible only from the Cerulean end, leads to the [[Pokémon Day Care]] just north of Saffron. The route is a simple north-south path with no turns other than those at the termini as it enters the cities of {{ci|Cerulean}} and {{ci|Saffron}}.

Route 5 can be accessed two ways from [[Cerulean City]]: by cutting the {{m|cut}}-able trees on the southern portion of the city, or by going around city from the house attacked by the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. At this point the route turns south, while Trainers can choose between going down the ledges or by traveling around it. If Trainers choose one of the pathways east or west of the ledged pathway, that will travel south until they get to the [[gate]] to [[Saffron City]].
[[File:Day Care 1 FRLG.png|thumb|left|The Pokémon Day Care]]
If Trainers choose the ledged path, it is a one-way path around down the contoured hill. If a Trainer jumps the first ledge, they must travel south, jumping the two other ledges and traveling through the small patches of [[tall grass]] after each route. Once Trainers have cleared the two remaining ledges, there stands a small house of an old man running a [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Pokémon in the Day Care gain one [[experience]] point per step the {{player}} takes. It is free to put a Pokémon into the Day Care, and costs {{PDollar}}100 plus an additional {{PDollar}}100 for each level gained to take a Pokémon out. In [[Generation VII]], [[Mr. Hyper]] is located at the Day Care and offers to [[Hyper Training|Hyper Train]] the player's Pokémon after they've become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. The Pokémon Day Care is removed in Generation II and replaced with a house of which an old woman dwells, giving away a [[Cleanse Tag]] to Trainers who enter.

There is also an {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5-6}} on the southeastern corner of Route 5 that passes under Saffron and comes out on {{rt|6|Kanto}} in the south, north of [[Vermilion City]]. This path is to allow Trainers and other people to pass Saffron without traveling through the city itself, which comes to a convenience during the period when the Officers at the city's gates are thirsty and will not let anyone through.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, the layout is the same. The depiction of Route 5 is almost identical in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}. Only trivial changes are visible between these two [[Generation]]s. In Generation III, the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is located closer to the edge of the [[ledge]], making it easier for Trainers to accidentally jump off the side, causing them to walk back north and start jumping the three ledges back towards the Pokémon Day Care. Another trivial difference is the addition of bigger tall grass patches after jumping the ledges to get to the Pokémon Day Care. However, this might counter the fact that the Pokémon Day Care is located closer to the edge of the ledge.

Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, the cement road has been changed to a gravel path, flowers are more visible and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], the [[route]] was shortened slightly with the number of tall grass patches and ledges reduces from three to two. Like in Generation III, the tall grass patches have increased in size, however, this might counter the fact that the Pokémon Day Care is located closer to the edge of the ledge. The [[Pokémon Day Care]] run by the old man is no longer available due to the addition of a Pokémon Day Care located in the [[Goldenrod City]] area on {{rt|34|Johto}} of [[Johto]], being replaced with a house of which an old woman dwells, giving away a [[Cleanse Tag]] to Trainers who enter.

===Generation IV===
Route 5 has changed completely in its Generation IV appearance. The path to the house has been blocked off while several ledges were removed and stairs took their place. From [[Cerulean City]], the route turns south, while Trainers can choose between going down the ledges or by traveling around it. If Trainers choose one of the pathways east or west of the ledged pathway, that will travel south, down a flight of stairs, until they get to the [[gate]] to [[Saffron City]].

If Trainers choose the [[ledge|ledged path]], it is a one-way path around down the contoured hill. If a Trainer jumps the first ledge, they will reach a single large patch of tall grass, and by traveling south, there will be a flight of stairs which a Trainer can go up to the house of which an old lady and a young girl dwells, giving away a [[Cleanse Tag]] to Trainers who enter. At that point, Trainer are able to get down the contour two ways: take the stairs down then jump the ledge, or use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} down the hillside. The paths will then join back up where the {{OBP|Underground Path|Kanto Routes 5-6}} and the Saffron [[gate]] can be found.

The graphical features have also been updated to Generation IV standard, Due to this, the route is no longer flat, due to hills being added to change a more in-depth feel to the route. The addition of stairs and contours of hill sides create a 3D approach.

===Generation VII===
In Generation VII, the route is very similar to its appearance in Generation III; however, a staircase has been added in front of the Pokémon Day Care, so Trainers are no longer required to walk through the [[tall grass]] and jump down the ledges to access it.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kanto Route 5 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 5 in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Route 5 appeared in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', and ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. This is where {{Ash}} and the gang find the [[Hidden Village]] and he catches his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Run by [[Melanie]], the village is a place for Pokémon who have been abandoned by their Trainers. She takes care of them until they are ready to return to the wild.

Ash and {{ashfr}} stumbled across the Hidden Village by accident. They were trying to head to [[Vermilion City]] but had gotten lost. While on the way, {{an|Brock}} fell off a bridge and was swept away by a river. Melanie rescued him, and she brought Ash and {{an|Misty}} to the village. Helping to protect the village was a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, who Melanie said volunteered to guard it. Although it meant well, the Bulbasaur was unintentionally causing all the Pokémon to stay in the village since it was so safe. After saving it from {{TRT}}, Melanie asked Ash if he wanted Bulbasaur to come with him. Ash agreed, and captured the Bulbasaur.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], interacting with the door of the former [[Pokémon Day Care]] gives the text "''What's this? House for Sale... Nobody lives here.''"

'''Route 2''' (Japanese: '''２{{tt|番道路|ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 2'') is a [[route]] located in western [[Kanto]]. It connects [[Viridian City]] in the south to [[Pewter City]] in the north. [[Viridian Forest]] and the northwestern terminus of [[Diglett's Cave]] are located on this route.

==Route description==
:''This is a description of the route as it is shown in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|IV}}. For a description of the [[Generation II]] version of Route 2, see [[#Differences among generations|Differences among generations]].''

Route 2 is a uniquely designed route that contains two pathways for a Trainer to follow, which are separated by a column of trees with only a few gaps blocked by {{m|Cut|cut-able trees}}. The western path can be explored by novice Trainers early on in the game; the eastern path can be accessed only with the use of {{HM|01|Cut}}, which can only be used by Trainers who have obtained the {{badge|Cascade}} or have traveled through [[Diglett's Cave]], a tunnel dug by {{p|Diglett}} that leads here from the eastern edge of [[Vermilion City]].

===Western path===
Heading north from [[Viridian City]], the road splits into two and forms a small square that rejoins and continues north past a [[ledge]]. This small garden square contains a [[signpost|sign]] with directions on it. Further north, a cut-able tree can be found along the eastern treeline that leads to the eastern path. After traveling west, the road then curves north and makes its way to a large patch of [[tall grass]] below a ledge, which can be avoided by going around to the east. There is another cut-able tree beside the patch of tall grass, also leading to the eastern section. To the north, past the ledge, lies the [[gate]] to [[Viridian Forest]].

After leaving the Forest, the route continues in the north with a small road, and makes its way east and then north to [[Pewter City]]. The route passes a large patch of tall grass that dominates the small clearing before reaching the city.

===Eastern path===
South of [[Pewter City]], the [[route]] passes the northernmost of two grass patches along the path as it turns to the west. At this point, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can take one of two routes to progress south. The first option is to remain on the main path of Route 2 and travel through the gate and into [[Viridian Forest]], a considerably long and inconvenient detour unless Trainers desire to catch {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The second option, available to Trainers who possess Pokémon that know and can use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle, is to remove a small shrub southeast of the grass patch to gain access to the eastern half of the route.
[[File:Route2house.png|thumb|right|Man who is willing to trade a {{p|Mr. Mime}} in exchange for an {{p|Abra}}]]
Here, the route meets the northern terminus of [[Diglett's Cave]], a lengthy northwest-southeast tunnel between here and the eastern edge of [[Vermilion City]]. South of the cave lies a building that plays home to a Trainer who is looking to part ways with a rare {{p|Mr. Mime}} in exchange for an {{p|Abra}}, except in {{v|Yellow}}, when he requests a {{p|Clefairy}} instead. Beyond another Cut-able tree, the route begins to slope downhill as it approaches a gate. Here, Trainers that have at least ten Pokémon registered as "Owned" in their [[Pokédex]] can receive {{HM|05|Flash}} from one of [[Professors' aides|Professor Oak's aides]].

South of the gate, the western half of the route emerges from the Forest and passes near the second grass patch on the route as it heads south. Meanwhile, the eastern half continues downhill, linking to the western path in two locations via Cut-able tree-blocked passageways before dead-ending south of the second tree. There are several items located on the ground in this clearing, including an [[Ether]] and a [[Paralyze Heal|Parlyz Heal]] farther south.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
The depiction of Route 2 is almost identical in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}. Only trivial changes are visible between these three [[Generation]]s. In Generation I, there are three trees to {{m|Cut}} south of the gate whereas there are only two in Generations III and VII.

In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|their remakes]], there is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the house south of [[Diglett's Cave]] who asks for an {{p|Abra}} in exchange for {{p|Mr. Mime}}. In the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, he asks for a {{p|Jigglypuff}} instead, and in {{game|Yellow}}, he wants a {{p|Clefairy}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the boy no longer offers a trade and instead tells the player about the [[Rock Tunnel]].

In Generation VII, due to the graphical updates, the path gently slopes upward as it approaches [[Pewter City]].

===Generation II===
Generation II significantly tweaked the [[route]] layout. The terrain and building layout of the eastern half of Route 2 in Generation II is identical to that of Generation I; however, the item locations have changed. Also, the Trainer who offered to trade Mr. Mime is no longer present in the house. Instead, the building is home to a man who gives the player a [[Nugget]].

The major changes to Route 2 came along the western half, however. The northern and southern extents are nearly identical to the Generation I version, except for the addition of three Trainers not present in Generation I or Generation III. [[Viridian Forest]] no longer exists as a standalone area and has been replaced with a tree maze that is now part of Route 2. The maze, which contains items placed similar to those located in the Generation I and III versions of Viridian Forest, is designed with the same layout as Viridian Forest.

Along the length of the route, the music has been replaced with a new track exclusive to Route 2, a remix of Viridian Forest's music. This remixed music is in major scale, whereas the normal Viridian Forest music is minor scale.

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, other than graphical updates, the layout has changed quite a bit in the lower section of the route, but the rest remains identical to Generation I and III. Heading south from [[Pewter City]], the [[route]] passes the first of two grass patches along the path as it turns to the west. Unlike Generation II, Viridian Forest remains in Route 2 and the music is now the same as {{rt|3|Kanto}}. The [[Berry]] tree in the tree maze is moved to outside the house in the eastern half, which can be accessed by using {{m|Cut}} on the small tree and crossing the divider. However, it is replaced with an [[Apricorn]] tree.

By traveling south past Viridian Forest, two Trainers can be found. The first one can be found by jumping off the ledge or go through the grass, while the second one can be found by traveling further south. Now a single path once again, Route 2 travels to the south towards [[Viridian City]].

==In the anime==

===Main series===
The north part of Route 2 made a brief cameo in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', connecting to [[Pewter City]].

===Pokémon Origins===
Route 2 made a brief appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', connecting to Pewter City.

==Trivia==
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgeotto}} can be found in this route, most likely a reference to [[Ash's Pidgeot|the events of the anime]].
* The man who gives the {{player}} a [[Nugget]] here in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver can also be found at [[Three Isle Path]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, mining for gold and talking about buying a house in [[Kanto]]; and at [[Malie City]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], mentioning how he used to dig up Nuggets at the [[Sevii Islands]].

Fishing

2022-01-05T03:30:00Z

FlitPix: /* Generation VIII */ While Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny, chain fishing does not directly affect Shiny odds

[[File:Zoey fishing rod.png|thumb|220px|[[Zoey]] with a fishing rod in the anime]]
'''Fishing''' is a recreation that is commonly seen in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the games==
===In core series games===
Fishing is a way to use a fishing rod to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]] in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod.

====Fishing rods====
From Generation {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VI}}, there are three different fishing rods: the [[Old Rod]], [[Good Rod]], and [[Super Rod]]. These fishing rods can be used in almost any body of water. Each fishing rod allows the player to encounter different Pokémon. In the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] games, each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]]. The Good Rod normally allows encountering higher level Pokémon than the Old Rod, and the Super Rod normally allows encountering higher level Pokémon than the Good Rod.

[[Generation V]] includes only the [[Super Rod]], which is given out by [[Looker]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Cedric Juniper]]{{sup/5|B2W2}} during the post-game. From [[Generation VII]] onward, there is only one rod, the [[Fishing Rod]]. In these games, each location only has one set of fishing encounters, rather than three. Unlike the earlier rods, the Fishing Rod can only be used in designated fishing spots. In [[Generation VII]], the [[Alola]] games include only a [[Fishing Rod]], given out by [[Lana]].

====Catching Pokémon====
=====Generation I=====
In [[Generation I]], fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. The Old Rod will always land a [[wild Pokémon]] and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. The other two rods have a 1/2 chance of landing nothing each time the player uses it. If the rod catches nothing, players can cast it out again. The player can only fish from land, not while {{m|Surf}}ing.

=====Generation II=====
In [[Generation II]], functionally fishing works that same as in [[Generation I]].

While there are many locations in which the player can fish, there are only 10 distinct fishing encounter tables. These locations share fishing encounter tables with each other.
* [[Cherrygrove City]], [[Olivine City]], [[Cianwood City]], [[Cerulean City]], {{Rt|34|Johto}}, {{Rt|40|Johto}}, {{Rt|14|Kanto}} and {{Rt|19|Kanto}}
* [[New Bark Town]], [[Pallet Town]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Cinnabar Island]], {{Rt|41|Johto}}, {{Rt|27|Kanto}}, {{Rt|26|Kanto}}, {{Rt|20|Kanto}}, {{Rt|21|Kanto}}
* [[Dark Cave]], [[Union Cave]], [[Slowpoke Well]], [[Mt. Mortar]], [[Tohjo Falls]], [[Mt. Silver|Silver Cave]], {{Rt|42|Johto}}, {{Rt|24|Kanto}}, {{Rt|25|Kanto}}, {{Rt|9|Kanto}}, {{Rt|10|Kanto}}
* [[Violet City]], [[Ecruteak City]], [[Blackthorn City]], [[Viridian City]], [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Ilex Forest]], {{Rt|30|Johto}}, {{Rt|31|Johto}}, {{Rt|35|Johto}}, {{Rt|43|Johto}}, {{Rt|44|Johto}}{{sup/2|C}}, {{Rt|28|Johto}}, [[Mt. Silver]] (exterior), {{Rt|22|Kanto}}, {{Rt|6|Kanto}}
* [[Dragon's Den]]
* {{Rt|45|Johto}}
* {{Rt|32|Johto}}{{tt|*|Qwilfish swarms can occur only on this route.}}, {{Rt|12|Kanto}}, {{Rt|13|Kanto}}
* {{Rt|44|Johto}}{{sup/2|GS}}
* [[Lake of Rage]] and [[Fuchsia City]]
* [[Whirl Islands]]

=====Generation III=====
Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complex, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. A series of ellipses appear prior to the text "Oh! A bite!", which is when the player should press the A button exactly once. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations when using better rods, and the Pokémon will also get away if the player presses A or B at the wrong time. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}. This also made fishing on {{rt|4|Kanto}} possible. In Emerald, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player is more likely to get a bite.

=====Generation IV=====
[[File:Walking Pokémon fishing exclamation.png|thumb|200px|The exclamation point above the [[walking Pokémon]]]]
In [[Generation IV]], when the {{player}} uses the rod, an exclamation mark-like sign can pop up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{a|Suction Cups}} and {{a|Sticky Hold}} don't increase the probability of bites due to a bug. This was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the [[walking Pokémon]] instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite.

=====Generation V=====
[[File:Key Super Rod Sprite.png|thumb|right|Super Rod's Key Item obtain sprite from Generation V]]
In [[Generation V]], fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from [[Generation IV]]. However, by fishing in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Poliwrath}} to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, only providing the {{player}} with a single rod to fish for Pokémon with.

=====Generation VI=====
In [[Generation VI]], fishing mechanics remain mostly unchanged, with the removal of rippling water and the addition of consecutive fishing. The Old and Good Rods return in this Generation.

Consecutive fishing describes reeling in the same Pokémon in the same area repeatedly. Hooking multiple Pokémon in a row increases the chances of hooking a [[Shiny Pokémon]], reaching a maximum chance of approximately 1% for a streak of 20 or more Pokémon. The game increases the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon by generating extra [[personality value]]s in an attempt to find one that results in a Shiny Pokémon, with the number of attempts depending on the size of the current streak. For every Pokémon added to the streak up to 20 Pokémon, the game will make two extra attempts to find a Shiny personality value; i.e., the number of attempts at any given point in the streak is <code>1 + 2 * streak_size</code>, and caps at a maximum of 41 attempts when the streak is at least 20 Pokémon long. This effect stacks with the [[Shiny Charm]]'s effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

The player is allowed to defeat, catch or simply run away from any encounters found this way without the chain breaking. The only ways to break the chain are by not reeling in any Pokémon or by exiting the area. It is possible to check the longest chain done by the player with a Fisherman in {{Rt|16|Kalos}}.

Fishing near rocks and other impassable spaces (not including spaces occupied by Trainers) will raise the chances of hooking Pokémon. The more sides (north, south, east, or west) around the space where the bobber lands that are blocked by such obstacles, the higher the chances of hooking a Pokémon are. A space of land may also count as an obstacle on one side of the bobber, so long as it is not the only one. If three sides are blocked, every cast will hook a Pokémon.

=====Generation VII=====
[[File:Key Fishing Rod Sprite.png|thumb|right|Fishing Rod's Key Item obtain sprite from Generation VII]]
In [[Generation VII]], the player can no longer fish in any body of water. Instead, in certain areas, there are piles of rocks at the bottom of the water where the player can fish to find Pokémon. Sometimes when the player reels in their line, they may find an item instead of a Pokémon. In each area with fishing spots, at least one of the rock piles will have bubbles rising from it to the surface, and if the player fishes at that spot, they will be able to more commonly find Pokémon that would be rare at the other spots. As soon as the player reels in their line after they find any Pokémon or item from such spots, the bubbles will disappear until the player re-enters the area. The bubbles will also disappear if the player moves too quickly near the spot, if they move over it, or if they reel in their rod too quickly. Once the bubbles disappear, the encounter rate returns to that of other fishing spots.

In the [[Alola]] region, there are fishing spots at [[Seaward Cave]], [[Kala'e Bay]], [[Melemele Sea]], [[Paniola Town]], [[Brooklet Hill]], [[Akala Outskirts]], [[Malie Garden]], [[Ula'ula Beach|Secluded Shore]]{{sup/7|SM}}, [[Seafolk Village]], [[Poni Wilds]]{{sup/7|SM}}, [[Poni Breaker Coast]], [[Vast Poni Canyon]], [[Poni Meadow]], [[Poni Gauntlet]], and [[Routes]] {{rtn|7|Alola}}, {{rtn|8|Alola}}, {{rtn|9|Alola}}, {{rtn|13|Alola}}, {{rtn|14|Alola}}, and {{rtn|15|Alola}}.

The different types of fishing rods are also all replaced by a single "Fishing Rod" in Generation VII. This Fishing Rod cannot be used from the Bag, but instead, when the player approaches a fishing spot, the game prompts the player with the option to press the A button to use the Fishing Rod. Some fishing spots may be accessible from land, while others may only be accessible from water. If the player wishes to fish at a spot in the middle of water, they can only do so using the [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}} Paddle.

=====Generation VIII=====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player receives a Fishing Rod at the start of the game when they equip their Bag.

Unlike prior games in the series, the player cannot use the fishing rod from the Bag menu — instead, there are rippling spots on bodies of water that can be interacted with by pressing the 'A' Button. If the player presses the 'A' Button again in time, the Pokémon will be reeled in and the battle will begin.

The Fishing Rod only comes in one model, which is obtained at the start of the game. It cannot be upgraded like in previous games of the series. The area where the player is fishing will determine what type of Pokémon is caught and the rarity percentages are determined in the same way as normal tall-grass encounters.

Fishing at the same spot repeatedly can increase chances of encountering [[Brilliant Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Super Rod anime.png|thumb|250px|Iris holding a Super Rod]]
Numerous episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} have featured the group fishing. Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{an|Misty}} was shown fishing shortly before Ash runs in to her. At the {{safari|Kanto}}, a fishing rod is distributed with the [[Safari Ball]]s, as seen in [[EP035]]. {{Ash}} and Misty both participated in a [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.

In ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', a fisherman named [[Sullivan]] believed that the secret to catching the [[Nero|Whiscash he was looking for]], was finding the right lure. In ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]'', Ash and his friends visited a lake, which had used to be a popular fishing resort. Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|May}} tried fishing from the lake, with Ash eventually hooking up a {{p|Crawdaunt}}. Ash attempted to battle the Crawdaunt with his {{AP|Corphish}}, but the Ruffian Pokémon was soon defeated by its evolved form, which then proceeded to destroy the group's loaned fishing rods. It was later revealed that the Crawdaunt belonged to a man named [[Mr. Saridakis]], who had once tried to purchase the lake in order to build an amusement park over it, but {{OBP|Tiffany|AG152}}, the owner of the lake, had refused to sell it. As a result, he had unleashed his Crawdaunt to the lake to scare off the people who came to fish there. After being saved from drowning by a {{p|Dragonair}} living in the lake, Mr. Saridakis decided to cancel his plans. {{an|Misty}} has a collection of lures, including a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to {{Ash}} as a gift in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. Ash used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try to catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.

[[File:Cilan fishing rod.png|thumb|left|250px|Cilan holding a fishing rod]]
In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, Cilan uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', Cilan showed his fishing skills again by catching a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition. In [[BWS01]], Cilan was seen using his fishing rod once again, this time hooking up a wild {{p|Gyarados}}. Later in the episode, he used his rod in an attempt to pull Gyarados back to its home lake, but was disturbed by [[Amer]] and his robotic {{p|Qwilfish}}. A [[Super Rod]] debuted in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as the item {{an|Iris}} had to find for the [[Wishing Bell Festival]] scavenger hunt. In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Cilan mentioned that [[Mr. Briney]] from [[Dewford Town]] was going to host the [[Old Rod]] Fishing Rally soon, prompting him to depart for [[Johto]] in order to participate in the said competition.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', Ash and his friends met a fisherman named [[Rodman]], who was trying to fish up a {{Shiny}} {{p|Magikarp}} with a Magikarp-shaped lure. Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} decided to try fishing too, with Ash giving the inexperienced Serena instructions of how to do it correctly. While fishing, Serena hooked up a {{p|Corsola}}, which she tried to battle with her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, but it simply hid itself behind Serena when Corsola tried to use {{m|Water Gun}} on it, causing the Coral Pokémon to get away. Afterwards, Rodman let Ash and his friends keep the fishing rods he had loaned them. The same rods reappeared in ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', where Ash used one of them to hook up a {{p|Skrelp}}. A fishing competition was a part of the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], as shown in ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''. The Pokémon hooked up during the competition included Ash's {{p|Alomomola}}, Serena's {{p|Staryu}}, Clemont's {{p|Corphish}}, {{an|Tierno}}'s Magikarp, {{an|Shauna}}'s {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{an|Trevor}}'s {{p|Wailord}}. {{an|Bonnie}} also participated the competition, but her possible catch wasn't shown.

In [[XYS06]], Clemont and Bonnie participated in a fishing competition held in [[Lumiose City]]. Clemont intended to use his [[Clemontic Gear|high-tech fishing rod]] to win, but Cilan, also taking part in the competition, commented him on his way of approach to fishing. With Cilan's advice, Bonnie managed to reel in a {{p|Clawitzer}}, which, due to it then proceeding to attack them, was driven away by Cilan's Stunfisk, by which time the competition already ended. Later in the episode, Clemont and Cilan combined Clemont's rod and Cilan's fishing skills to save Bonnie from a runaway subway cart.

In ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}} took the [[Pokémon School]] class on a fishing lesson, which he gave {{an|Lana}} to lead. Lana, being the most skilled fisher of the group, managed to fish up many different Water Pokémon, while Ash and {{an|Kiawe}} were having trouble finding anything at all, and {{an|Sophocles}} was too busy programming his high-tech rod to even try. {{an|Lillie}}, however, managed to surprise everyone by hooking up a {{p|Milotic}}, but her line snapped before she could reel the Tender Pokémon in, causing it to get away.

Team Rocket was seen fishing in ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'' while attempting to catch new Alolan Pokémon, but to no avail. [[Jessie]] used a lure based on {{p|Ekans}}, [[James]]'s based on {{p|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}'s based on himself.

Fishing was a central plot element in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', where both Ash and Lana as well as Team Rocket tried to fish up the [[Totem Pokémon]] of [[Brooklet Hill]]. While Team Rocket was taken away by {{an|Bewear}} in the middle of their fishing, Lana managed to hook up the Totem Pokémon, a {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Wishiwashi|School Form}} {{p|Wishiwashi}}, almost immediately, and proceeded to battle it. She was eventually able to defeat the Totem Pokémon, receiving a [[Waterium Z]] as a reward.

Fishing once again played a notable role in ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]''. While Ash's classmates were fishing on a reef and managed to reel in Pokémon such as {{p|Bruxish}}, {{p|Luvdisc}}, {{p|Pyukumuku}}, and {{p|Cloyster}}, Ash and Lana came across a {{status|poison}}ed {{p|Kyogre}} chased by a {{OBP|hunter|SM120}}. Lana managed to use her fishing skills to feed Kyogre some [[Antidote]] and subsequently to help calm down its rage.

In ''[[JN024|A Little Rocket R & R!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] joined a group of fishers at the [[Resort Area]] in order to find a mysterious Pokémon said to hide in a local lake. In the process, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Goldeen}} and a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Magikarp}} that he and Ash reeled in, respectively. They eventually managed to also reel in the mysterious Pokémon, which turned out to be a {{pkmn2|giant}} Magikarp, which Goh also succeeded in catching.

In ''[[JN039|Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!]]'', Goh attempted to fish while on a boat headed for [[Cianwood City]], but he was unsuccessful. He later revealed that he had caught a {{p|Chinchou}} while fishing at Cianwood City.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Psyduck PO.png|thumb|250px|Red fishing with a Super Rod]]
Fishing was featured a couple of times during [[Pokémon Origins]].

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} obtained an [[Old Rod]] from the Vermilion Fishing Guru in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', and a [[Super Rod]] from the Silence Bridge Fishing Guru in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. Soon after obtaining the latter, he was seen using it to capture himself a {{p|Psyduck}}.

Red was also seen fishing with the Super Rod in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', although he did so merely to get some time to think about {{p|Mewtwo|the mysterious Pokémon}} seen in [[Cerulean Cave]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in [[Gym]]s (except for the [[Saffron Gym|Saffron]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]]s) or any room of the [[Elite Four]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. However, when using the [[Super Rod]] in any [[Gym]] or [[Elite Four]] room other than [[Cerulean Gym]] or [[Lorelei]]'s room, the game will say, "''Looks like there's nothing here.''" That's because statues are programmed as water tiles (which is why it's possible to {{m|Surf}} on statues).

Shiny Pokémon

FlitPix: /* Shiny rates */ Accidentally hit save in my last edit, whoops. Added BDSP rates

[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|色違い|いろちがい}}''' ''color variation''; '''{{tt|光|ひか}}る''' ''shining'') is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

They were originally called '''rare''' (Japanese: レア ''rare'') in the debug menu from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, '''Color Pokémon''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and also referred to as '''Alt. Color''' in the [[Generation III]] [[easy chat system]]. The '''{{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}''' from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} were also introduced before the word "Shiny" was officially used in Pokémon games.

[[List of Pokémon with form differences|Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Pokémon's Shininess is visible in the overworld.

==Terminology==
The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the {{pkmn|games}}. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]].

===Japanese===
In Japanese, there are some distinct terms used to describe Shiny Pokémon..

「レア」 (''rare'') in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

「いろちがい」 (''color variation'') is used in several official sources referring to Shiny Pokémon:

* The list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* The [[easy chat system]] from [[Generation III]] games.
* A [[Wonder Card]] distributed with a Shiny {{p|Milotic}} in the Japanese version of {{game|Platinum}}. Specifically, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}, released on 12 October 2008.
* This Japanese word is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]].
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this Japanese word appears in the description of [[Shiny Charm]].

「{{tt|光|ひか}}る」 (''shining'') is sometimes used in official sources as well.
* The {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} use the word 「ひかる」 in Japanese. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} (Japanese: ひかるギャラドス) card.
* A Japanese webpage about [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] on Nintendo.co.jp refers to Shiny Pokémon with the word 「光る」.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_np3j/ ポケモンスタジアム金銀 - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork "[[:File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon]]" (Japanese: 光るポケモンとの遭遇) uses the word 「光る」.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0205/03/02/index.html ３－２．この春登場、強力・注目　商品ラインナップ - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* The [[Shiny Charm]] (Japanese: ひかるおまもり ''Shining Charm'') uses that word in its Japanese name as well.
** From [[Pokémon X and Y]] onwards, the Japanese description of Shiny Charm mentions Shiny Pokémon with the word 「ひかる」 as well.

===English===
These are the names used for Shiny Pokémon in English.

* The Shiny Pokémon were named "rare" (Japanese: レア ''rare'') on [[Pokémon.com]] during Generation II<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021011204306/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events4.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (September 27, 2002 to January 2, 2003)</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030124023941/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events8.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (January 3 to March 13, 2003)</ref> and in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* The Shiny Pokémon are named "Color Pokémon" in the list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Specifically, the player's Pokémon may be listed according to the options "Group Color Pokémon" and "Cancel Color Pokémon".
* In [[Generation III]] games, the [[easy chat system]] includes the option "Alt. Color". This is translated from Japanese 「いろちがい」 (''color variation''), a term commonly used for Shiny Pokémon in multiple Pokémon media.
* The word "Shining" is used for the {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} card.
* The word "Shiny" is mentioned in the title of the "Wow! Shiny {{p|Milotic}}!" [[Wonder Card]], which was distributed for {{game|Platinum}}. This is the first use of the word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) in an English game. However, this text was retrieved with the Wonder Card, and is not otherwise included in Pokémon Platinum's game data.
** This Wonder Card was received with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|US Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 9 May 2009, and then with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|UK Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 30 May 2009.
** This was based on the aforementioned Shiny Milotic distribution in Japanese, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}.
* The word "Shiny" is first used in the anime in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', which aired in English on December 11, 2010. In the episode [[Barry (anime)|Barry]] exclaims that [[Ash's Noctowl]] is a weird Shiny color.
* The word "Shiny" is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]]. This is the first use of the English word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) stored in the data of an English game, instead of received from a Wonder Card.
* The [[Shiny Charm]] debuted later, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. The item itself includes the word "Shiny", and the item description mentions Shiny Pokémon.

==Design==
Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. Conversely, some Pokémon, such as {{p|Caterpie}}, have dramatic differences in color.

An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

Little is known about how Shiny colorations are chosen. While it is often rumored that early Shiny colorations were determined algorithmically, all Pokémon Shiny colorations are individually defined in the game data<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/1521f52e37741a9220a1362443df6d0462e582d3/data/pokemon/palettes.asm Pokémon Gold Disassembly]</ref> and Pokémon with similar palettes have distinct Shiny colorations even in [[Generation II]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1235549199543885825 @DrLavaYT] on Twitter</ref> [[James Turner]], who has worked as a Pokémon designer since [[Generation V]], stated that the first time he selected Shiny colorations was in [[Generation VII]], when he selected the Shiny colorations of [[Ultra Beast]]s he designed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1091889698555875328 @JamesTurner_42] on Twitter</ref>

|}{{-}}

Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from its [[Poké Ball]], [[#Appearance|it is surrounded]] by a flash of stars or light, which is accompanied by a pinging sound effect.

Individual Pokémon cannot change their Shininess. A Shiny Pokémon will always be Shiny, and a regular Pokémon will never become Shiny. Upon evolution, a Pokémon retains its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, while a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

An icon (seen in the table above) appears on the status screen of Shiny Pokémon in most games. In Generation II, this icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, by the gender symbol, while in most other games, it appears in or near one of the corners of the Pokémon's image; however, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} do not have any icon. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white and the background of the Pokémon's image has a lighter shade; likewise, in Generation IV and V, the color of some elements of the status screen differ for Shiny Pokémon.

===Shiny rates===
{{incomplete|section|Changes in BDSP}}
The table below summarizes the rates at which Shiny Pokémon can be found by the methods that will be detailed below. The [[Shiny Charm]] can directly add to the odds for most methods, with [[hidden Pokémon]] being affected uniquely.

===Determining Shininess===
====Generation II====
In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon's {{IV}}s. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a [[Generation I]] game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Since the HP IV is calculated from the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its IVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192 (assuming every IV combination has the same probability, which is usually the case).

The probability differs for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon, as their IVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, a parent passes its Special stat (plus or minus 8) and its Defense stat to its children that are the opposite gender from it. (If Ditto is one of the parents, it is always the one that passes these stats.) This means that if a Shiny parent passes its IVs to a child, the child's inherited Defense IV will always be 10, its inherited Special IV will have a 1/2 chance of being 10, its randomly generated Attack IV will have a 1/2 chance of being an appropriate value, and its randomly generated Speed IV will have 1/16 chance of being 10. This results in a 1/64 chance that such a child will be Shiny. These breeding mechanics also mean that if a child inherits its IVs from a Pokémon that does not have a Defense IV of 10 and a Special IV of 2 or 10, it cannot be Shiny.

=====Transferring from Generation I Virtual Console games=====
Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games via [[Poké Transporter]] may be Shiny after being transported. Since Version 1.3 of Poké Transporter, this is determined the same way as in the Generation II games. Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense IVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.

The same {{DL||quirks}} that apply to transferring Pokémon from Generation I to Generation II games also apply.

The {{p|Mew}} that were distributed to the Generation I Virtual Console games have IVs of 15 in every stat, meaning they can never be Shiny.

====Generation III onward====
{{main|Personality value#Shininess}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, whether a Pokémon is Shiny depends on the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. The exact calculation is:
:<code>TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID '''xor''' PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0</code>
where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively.

The above formula can result in a number ranging from 0 to 65535. In Generations III to V, if this result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny; starting in [[Generation VI]], this threshold was increased to 16. For Generations III to V, this gives an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II. For Generations VI and later, the probability is doubled. In Generation VIII, if this result equals 0, or if the Pokémon has the [[fateful encounter]] flag set, then the Pokémon has square Shiny sparkles.

===Generation II===
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Generation II, any Pokémon can be Shiny, but the game includes a [[red Gyarados]] that the player must encounter at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Odd Egg]] also has a high chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon: 50% in Japanese games, and 14% in all other languages. {{fact}}

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of gray. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by the stars on its status screen or the animation shown when it comes into battle.

====Quirks====
Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Due to Shininess being determined by IVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by IVs in Generation II:
* It is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
* Only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
* A Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Shiny Smeargle can only have pattern ID of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8.
* As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they have the same Defense IVs, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|Transform glitches#Shiny Ditto glitch|Shiny Ditto glitch}}

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, it is possible to use {{DL|Transform glitches|Shiny Ditto glitch|a glitch}} to catch a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}. If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} twice (that is, transforms again while already transformed), when caught it will be a Ditto with the same DVs as the penultimate Pokémon it transformed into. This can be used to copy the DVs of a Shiny Pokémon owned by the player.

===Generation III===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In [[Generation III]], some Shiny Pokémon appear on NPCs' teams. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, three Trainers in the [[Trainer Tower]] have Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. Several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers also have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

====Quirks====
A bug with the way Shininess is handled for Eggs can cause the Shiny status of a Pokémon hatched from an Egg to differ from the Egg hatching animation. This means that a hatched Pokémon may appear to be Shiny during the hatching animation, but actually not be, and vice versa. This happens because an Egg is initially given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which it is generated, and if it is hatched in a different game, the hatched Pokémon will be given the Trainer details of that game's player; the problem originates in the fact that this update does not occur until after the cutscene of the Egg hatching, so while it may be Shiny for the player who hatched it, it may not be Shiny for the player who obtained the Egg (or vice versa). This also allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation III were only [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|distributed in Japan]]) to hatch a Shiny Pokémon when they would otherwise be non-Shiny Pokémon. This bug was not fixed until [[Generation VI]].

{{p|Unown}} also has an uneven distribution of Shiny probability depending on its form. This is because {{p|Unown}}'s form is also determined by its [[personality value]]. The exact probability for any given form depends on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, but it can have the values 1/5120, 1/6144, 1/9216, 1/10240, or 1/18432.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|100px|{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}, a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In the [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player once again must encounter a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Shiny Pokémon's coloration is reflected in the overworld if it is used as a [[walking Pokémon]].

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
Generation IV introduced the first ways to increase the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon.

The [[Masuda method]] refers to breeding two Pokémon originating from games of different languages to increase the chances of breeding a Shiny Pokémon. Under these circumstances, the game generates up to five total personality values to attempt to find one that will be Shiny. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, still count as being from the same game, so they do not activate the Masuda method unless traded to a different language. This mechanic is retained in all subsequent games.

The [[Poké Radar]] slowly improves the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain. The odds can reach a maximum of 41/8192 (approximately 1/200) for a single patch of grass for a chain of length 40 or higher; since up to four patches of grass can shake, the total odds become approximately 1/50. If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny, it constructs a semi-random personality value that will fulfill the requirement for the Pokémon to be Shiny.

====Quirks====
{{a|Cute Charm}} can make it possible for players with certain [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]] combinations to manipulate the chance of Pokémon with specific gender ratios being Shiny to be as high as 21.34% (while making the chance lower for all other players and Pokémon with different gender ratios, while using the Ability). This is due to how Cute Charm forces a wild Pokémon to be a specific gender when it activates, which is accomplished by modifying the Pokémon's [[personality value]] to be one of an extremely limited set of values.

The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation IV were only [[List of traded event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributed in Japan]]) and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation V===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation V]] introduced a mechanism often referred to as a "Shiny lock", preventing {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Victini}} from being Shiny. Any Pokémon obtained in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e., from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]) are also prevented from being Shiny. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini still have Shiny sprites in the games' data.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (but only two per version). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

Starting in Generation V, Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered was Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The Masuda method now generates up to six total personality values instead of five. This remains the case in later games.

Generation V also introduces the [[Shiny Charm]], a [[Key Item]] that causes the game to generate up to two extra personality values in an attempt to make a wild or bred Pokémon Shiny. This effect can stack with the Masuda method's effect. This item is also available in all future games.

====Quirks====
The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation VI===
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation VI]] slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined to double the default chances that a Pokémon will be Shiny. The basic formula remains the same, but the threshold for a Pokémon to be Shiny is now 16 instead of 8. This results in a base Shiny probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in Generation VI games: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[aura trio]], {{p|Mewtwo}}, the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], and {{p|Deoxys}}. The in-game gift [[Cosplay Pikachu]] also cannot be Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The [[Poké Radar]] returns for [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The exact mechanics of the Poké Radar in these games are not confirmed, but the Poké Radar can still force a Pokémon in a shaking patch to be Shiny.

In X and Y, in the [[Friend Safari]], Shiny Pokémon are more common. The game achieves this by generating up to four extra personality values when checking if a Pokémon will be Shiny. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool/wiki/Friend-Safari-RNG Friend Safari RNG · wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool Wiki · GitHub]</ref>

[[Fishing#Generation VI|Consecutive fishing]] can increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain of reeled-in Pokémon by fishing from the same spot. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the game tries two extra personality values to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of 41/4096 or approximately 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. Unlike most other methods that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon, this does not increase the number of personality values that the game tries, but instead executes a {{DL|DexNav|Shiny probability|custom algorithm}} to decide whether to force a Shiny personality value. In brief summary, the chances of forcing a Shiny Pokémon grow steadily from 0% at Search Level 0 to 0.06% at Search Level 100 (only surpassing the natural odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon at Search Level 41), then grows steadily to 0.08% at Search Level 200, after which the rate of growth becomes 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a random 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

===Generation VII===
[[File:Shiny Tapu Koko.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Tapu Koko}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}. This marks the only time an NPC Trainer outside of a battle facility uses a Shiny Pokémon (excluding capture tutorials).

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
=====Sun and Moon=====
In the {{g|Sun and Moon}}, as well as {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as Pokémon in [[SOS Battle]]s continue calling in allies, the chance that they will be Shiny increases. At chain lengths of 11, 21, and 31, the game will check up to four extra personality values to find a Shiny Pokémon (meaning the maximum number of personality values checked will be 13 for a chain of 31 Pokémon or more). In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the chain length resets to 0 after 255, but in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it does not reset. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/947223541925126144 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

=====Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon=====
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Pokémon encountered through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] (excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s) have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. The Shininess of these Pokémon is determined when the player arrives at the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]. The probability that a Pokémon encountered this way will be Shiny depends on the rarity of the wormhole and the distance traveled.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/946705752265129985 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

Note that 3-ring "blooming" wormholes will always contain Legendary Pokémon (which do not have increased odds of being Shiny), unless all Legendary Pokémon that could be encountered in that particular wormhole have already been caught.

=====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Shiny Pokémon rates can be increased dramatically with catch combos and lures. However, combos past 31 will have no additional effect on shiny chance.

Catch combos affect all Pokémon, so if the player has a catch combo of 31 Pikachu, all Pokémon have a 1 in 314 chance of being shiny. However, the Pokémon the player has a catch combo for will be more common.

With a catch combo of 31 or higher, a [[Shiny Charm]], and a [[Lure]], the highest chance of 1 in 273 can be reached.

The above three Shiny-increasing methods have no effect on [[in-game trade]]s or [[Gift Pokémon]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLetsGo/comments/a48ruf/shiny_chances_an_update/</ref>

===Generation VIII===
[[Symbol encounter|Pokémon that appear in the overworld]] use their standard coloration, regardless of whether they are Shiny or not. They will not be revealed to be Shiny until they are encountered. [[Walking Pokémon]] assigned to follow you in [[Isle of Armor]], [[Crown Tundra]], and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} outdoor areas will use their correct coloration.

====Variants====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Images of square and star sparkles}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are two different types of Shiny Pokémon, distinguished only by the type of sparkle animation that plays when they enter battle. One type has an animation with star-shaped sparkles (similar to previous generations), while the other uses square-shaped sparkles.

Like Shininess itself, the type of Shiny sparkle a Pokémon has is determined by its [[personality value]]. Ordinarily, there is a 15/16 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having a personality value that yields star sparkles, and a 1/16 chance of it having a personality value that yields square sparkles. (For Shiny Pokémon obtained in Generation III, IV, or V, due to the different Shiny rate in those games, there is instead a 7/8 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having star sparkles, and a 1/8 chance of it having square sparkles.)

However, wild encounters in Pokémon Sword and Shield have drastically different rates for each Shiny sparkle type. Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild in Pokémon Sword and Shield have a 65521/65536 chance of having square sparkles and a 15/65536 chance of having star sparkles.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197039032112304128</ref> This does not apply to Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, received as {{pkmn2|gift}}s, or encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

Shiny Pokémon obtained from [[Dynamax Adventures]] always have star sparkles. Pokémon that are guaranteed to be Shiny (i.e. from Max Raid Battles during some [[Wild Area News]] events) always have a personality value that yields square sparkles.

Additionally, starting in Pokémon Sword and Shield v1.1.0, Shiny Pokémon met in a [[fateful encounter]] or transferred from [[Pokémon GO]] always have square sparkles, regardless of their personality value.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1273492861065912320</ref>

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, these variants are not distinguishable from each other, as all Shiny Pokémon use the same entry animation with star-shaped sparkles. (similar to previous generations)

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as wild Pokémon: the [[Regional form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} at {{DL|Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station}}, {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}, the Galarian [[Legendary birds]], {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}. Additionally, all [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|in-game gift Pokémon]] (except the fossil Pokémon from [[Cara Liss]]) cannot be Shiny.

Pokémon that are too high a level for the player to catch with the current [[Badge]]s (described as "very strong-looking" in-game) cannot be Shiny, except Pokémon that appear as static encounters.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny: the [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|Gift Mew and Jirachi]] in [[Floaroma Town]], and all Pokémon available via [[In-game trade]].

=====Max Raid Battles=====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, whether the Pokémon currently occupying an active [[Pokémon Den]] is Shiny or not is determined when the den becomes active, and will not change if the game is reset. For dens activated with a [[Wishing Piece]], the Shiny status of the Pokémon in the den is also predetermined for every subsequent day the den remains active. The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]] is not affected by the [[Shiny Charm]].

Although Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles can always be caught regardless of how many Badges the player has, if the Pokémon's level is too high for the number of [[Badge]]s the player has, it will be forced not to be Shiny. However, because Shiny status is determined when the Max Raid Battle spawns, if the player earns enough Badges before defeating it, the Pokémon will be Shiny upon capture even if they lacked the required Badges when it spawned.

======Wild Area News events======
Pokémon Sword and Shield has had several [[Wild Area News]] events that included Shiny Pokémon. During these events, one of the 5★ [[Max Raid Battle]] encounter slots was guaranteed to be a Shiny Pokémon. As mentioned above, these guaranteed Shiny Pokémon will always have square sparkles.

The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

At the launch of [[The Isle of Armor]], uncatchable {{p|Zeraora}} [[Wild Area News#June 17 to 28, 2020|appeared]] in 3★-5★ raids. In 5★ raids, one of the Zeraora encounters was Shiny and more difficult to defeat. Players eventually received [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)#1 Million Victories Shiny Zeraora|Shiny Zeraora]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] as a reward for collectively defeating over 1 million Zeraora in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1275629411514175488</ref>

=====Traded Eggs=====
Unlike in previous generations, where Eggs keep their original personality values when traded and can potentially go from Shiny to non-Shiny or vice-versa if hatched by a player with a different [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and Secret ID, Eggs traded in Sword and Shield have their personality values altered according to the receiver's TID/SID to ensure they retain their original Shiny status when hatched on a different game.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
{{incomplete|section|Missing information on extra shiny roll applied in Grand Underground in BDSP during "LightStone" bonus from collecting 40 Digletts,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1459147114110492676</ref> and BDSP Poke Radar rates, which differ from prior games.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1462473371917111303</ref>}}
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the number of times that the player has caught or defeated each species of Pokémon increases the chance of Pokémon of that species appearing as a [[Brilliant Pokémon]] in the overworld.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334955461939210</ref> This number is recorded in the player's Pokédex as "Number Battled". It includes wild battles, Max Raid Battles, Trainer battles (except [[Link Battle]]s, the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, and [[Restricted Sparring]]).

The appearance rate of Brilliant Pokémon is further while [[Brilliant Pokémon#Fishing|chain fishing]]; depending on the length of the chain, a bonus between +2% and +25% will be added to the base appearance rate.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334998474477577</ref>

Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny depending on the "Number Battled" for that species. When determining a Brilliant Pokémon's personality value, if the Pokémon would not be Shiny the game will regenerate the personality value a number of times depending on the "Number Battled", up to a maximum of 6 times.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448335003834851333</ref> Non-Brilliant Pokémon are not affected and do not have enhanced Shiny rates.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny. However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], and [[Partner Pokémon (game)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be received in-game, but could be acquired through events or transferring.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''*''' could not be received in-game, but could be acquired through [[trade|trading]].

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means in that generation.

===Non-playable character's Shiny Pokémon===
[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.png|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Minccino}} in the introduction screen]]
It is possible for all of the following NPC Pokémon to be Shiny:
* The {{p|Poochyena}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}} that attacks [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Zigzagoon}} that [[Wally]] uses in the capture tutorial in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Ralts}} that Wally catches in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (but only when he catches it and not in subsequent battles).
* The Pokémon that the {{ka|old man}} encounters in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Rental Pokémon]] found in the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} in {{game|Emerald}}.
* [[Wild Pokémon]] that appear in the [[Battle Pike]] and [[Battle Pyramid]] in {{game|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Starly}} that attacks the player in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, as well as in {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}}.
* The {{p|Bidoof}} that {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} captures in the capture tutorial in {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}}.
* {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} Pokémon used by the AI in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}.
* [[Professor Juniper]]'s {{p|Minccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro and the one used in the catching tutorial in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Professor Juniper's {{p|Cinccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}
* The {{p|Purrloin}} that [[Bianca]] catches in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.
* The {{p|Fletchling}} that the rival, {{ga|Calem}} or {{ga|Serena}}, uses in the capture tutorial in {{g|X and Y}}.
* The {{p|Bunnelby}} that the rival, Calem or Serena, captures in the tutorial in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the side series games==
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting different colors (red eyes instead of the usual yellow)]]
===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually Shiny. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name. The Pokémon Eggs change colors in the same way. Additionally, Smeargle's back and tail markings can be red, green or blue depending on its DVs.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u4PDIfP9VerQSQibzHPzQh5oRNBUhmEi10F4kZ2uuho/edit?usp=sharing</ref>

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kids' Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

It is possible for [[Challenge Cup]] Pokémon to be Shiny.

===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny {{p|Voltorb}} in Colosseum]]
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]
{{main|List of glitches (Generation III)#Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug|List of glitches (Generation III) → Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, non-Shadow Pokémon obtained in the game (such as the player's starter {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} and [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}}) are prevented from being Shiny.

There is roughly a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny. When a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is first encountered, it is assigned a random [[personality value]], but the game ensures that the personality value does not cause it to be Shiny for its NPC Trainer (using that Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID). When the player catches the Shadow Pokémon, because it retains that same personality value but now has a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, it is possible for the Shadow Pokémon to be Shiny for the player. In subsequent encounters, the Shadow Pokémon retains the same personality value it had in the first encounter (meaning that whether it is Shiny for the player or not cannot change); however, because its NPC Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID can differ, it can be Shiny for its NPC Trainer in these subsequent encounters.

[[Purification]] has not effect on the Shiny status of a Pokémon: Shiny Pokémon remain Shiny, and non-Shiny Pokémon cannot become Shiny.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, non-Shadow Pokémon (such as the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[in-game trade]]s, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon) can be Shiny.

Like in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]] cannot be Shiny. (Including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Phione}}, which despite having variable [[personality value]]s, they both use the [[Pseudorandom_number_generation_in_Pokémon#Alternative_pseudorandom_number_generator_.28ARNG.29 | antishiny ARNG]] generation method which prevents them from being Shiny, the same way as Type 1 [[Wonder Card]] Pokémon and {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Manaphy}} Egg.)

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseums can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon.

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
[[File:Shiny Roserade PMD BSL.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Roserade]]
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Stat|Belly}} stat starts at 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
[[File:Shiny Ho-Oh PMD GTI.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiny Ho-Oh]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon at [[Eternal Ruins]] through a [[Legend of the Mysterious Ruins]] job request. This Shiny Ho-Oh has a slightly different moveset to the regular Ho-Oh that can be met. It also has a unique animation that plays before the battle begins.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
[[File:Shiny Celebi PSMD.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Celebi]]
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
[[File:Shiny Gyarados PMDDX.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Gyarados]]
27 [[Mystery Dungeon]]s, once completed for the first time, will have "Strong Foe" Pokémon that spawn. These Pokémon have a higher than normal chance of being Shiny compared to the main series. Shiny Pokémon cannot be recruited unless the Player has the [[Friend Bow]] equipped and the Shiny Pokémon's respective Camp purchased. [[Recruitment]] is still not guaranteed if these criteria are met.

Additionally, the Shiny Celebi from past Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also makes a cameo appearance, and can be recruited after clearing [[Purity Forest]] and visiting Mystery Houses—rare rooms that spawn in post-game dungeons—with an invitation.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, {{SSB|Greninja}}, and {{SSB|Incineroar}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat, and one of {{p|Incineroar}}'s alternate colorations greatly resembles its Shiny coloration; {{p|Mewtwo}} also has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Squirtle and Ivysaur both have their current Shiny colorations, but Charizard has its original Shiny coloration from {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold/Silver}}/{{v2|Crystal}}. All other playable Pokémon in the series do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
[[File:Shiny Mothim PR.png|left|200px|thumb|Shiny Mothim]]
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the core series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

The Pokémon that appear during the credits can be Shiny, as well.

====Pokémon Rumble U====
Shiny Pokémon return to the [[Pokémon Rumble series]] in [[Pokémon Rumble U]] though are only obtainable through the use of passwords or the NFC Rumble U Figures.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of the main scenario. {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are 15 Shiny Pokémon, including [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, in [[Pokémon Shuffle]]: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Diancie}}. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its [[Skill]], experience, level, [[Mega Effects|Mega Effect]] (where applicable), and sometimes type.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, certain Pokémon species have a chance of being Shiny, with each species having its own Shiny rate. For most Pokémon, the Shiny rate is approximately 1 in 450. However, in certain [[List of events (GO)|in-game events]], the Shiny chance may be increased for certain Pokémon. For example, on [[Community Day]]s, the featured Pokémon will always have increased Shiny odds. Shiny Pokémon may be encountered through any method: randomly in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, from hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, by completing [[Field Research]] tasks, by winning [[Raid Battle]]s, or as [[GO Battle League]] rewards. All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a Raid Battle, the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny during battle, but it may become Shiny during the bonus challenge. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.

===Pokémon Duel===
There are several figures that are Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Duel]]. These figures are usually posed identically or near-identically to their regular Pokémon counterparts. A Shiny figure's Data Disk is always identical to the regular version's but a few have different Abilities. A Shiny figure cannot evolve or change form into a non-Shiny figure nor vice-versa. Additionally, a Shiny figure cannot be selected to be made into a {{DL|Tournament (Duel)|Golden and Silver Figures|Golden or Silver Figure}}. The following is a list of Shiny figures.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 99.png|thumb|Gold Magikarp|100px]]
A Shiny {{p|Magikarp}}, referred to as a Gold Magikarp, is one of the possible Magikarp to fish in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Shiny {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Corsola}} may also appear in random encounter events during feeding. If the player breaks the [[Everstone]] that the Shiny {{p|Magikarp}} is holding and evolves it into a {{p|Gyarados}}, the {{p|Gyarados}} will also be Shiny.

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Shiny Tangela PQ.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Tangela]]
Pokémon can appear Shiny in [[Pokémon Quest]]. When viewing the Pokémon's details, the Pokémon's picture will appear in its shiny coloration. The only benefit to having a Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Quest]] is to gain 20 PM Tickets. Otherwise, it is just an aesthetic feature. It is considered that there is a 1/75 to a 1/100 chance of attracting one. In other Pokémon generations and games, stars and swirls would appear if you found a Shiny Pokémon. [[Pokémon Quest]] has no indication on whether you attracted a Shiny Pokémon or not.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], some of the {{mas|Egg Pokémon}} have a chance to be a Shiny variant. The first Shiny Pokémon to be made available to a character other than the player character was {{p|Rayquaza}}, who appears paired with {{mas|Steven}} in his [[Steven (Masters)#Rayquaza|Anniversary 2021]] appearance.

Shiny {{p|Celebi}} also makes its appearance during the [[List of special events (Masters)|special events]] Double Trouble and Blasting Off Again.

==In the TCG==
Shiny Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. The {{TCG|Stormfront}}, {{TCG|Platinum}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} and {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} sets include three cards each with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as an entirely separate rarity. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards are not limited by special gameplay and deckbuilding rules, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into non-Shiny Pokémon.

Shiny versions of several Pokémon were also featured as secret rares in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion, as well from {{TCG|Next Destinies}} until {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, and in {{TCG|VMAX Rising}} ownards. Special sets such as {{TCG|Shining Legends}} and {{TCG|Hidden Fates|Shiny Vault}} are also focused on Shiny Pokémon

Sometimes, cards with Shiny Pokémon are tied to ongoing events in the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}, such as the Shiny {{p|Gengar}} [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Gengar|distributed in October 2014]], or the appearance of the [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the anime==

[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until [[Generation II]], several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, and therefore may not be counted as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternately colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. Another example would be in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', where a non-standard alternately colored {{p|Mareanie}} (who happens to be [[James's Mareanie]]'s first love) appears, and later evolves into a {{p|Toxapex}}.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Archipelago, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

[[File:Colress Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny Genesect in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

===Movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Mega Rayquaza.

===Pokémon Adventures===

{{adv|Silver}} captured a [[Silver's Gyarados|Shiny Gyarados]], the raging leader of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', the Shiny Genesect was revealed to be owned by [[Colress]], who used it to battle [[Blake's Genesect]].

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
{{main|Lance's Gyarados}}
The red Gyarados, owned by [[Lance]], appeared in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. It participated in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and was defeated by [[Leon]] and his {{p|Charizard}}.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it {{Berries}}. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
The Red Gyarados makes an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'' where Team Rocket plots on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves while at the same time, Clefairy went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]] through [[Generation VII]] , it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a {{player}} hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny {{p|Manaphy}}.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available (excluding [[Wild Area News]]), with two.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], {{p|Castform}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|weather forms]] and {{p|Magearna}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|default form]] had the same colors regardless whether they were Shiny or not (although the latter is not legitimately available in its Shiny coloration).

Shiny Pokémon

FlitPix: /* Shiny rates */

[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|色違い|いろちがい}}''' ''color variation''; '''{{tt|光|ひか}}る''' ''shining'') is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

They were originally called '''rare''' (Japanese: レア ''rare'') in the debug menu from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, '''Color Pokémon''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and also referred to as '''Alt. Color''' in the [[Generation III]] [[easy chat system]]. The '''{{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}''' from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} were also introduced before the word "Shiny" was officially used in Pokémon games.

[[List of Pokémon with form differences|Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Pokémon's Shininess is visible in the overworld.

==Terminology==
The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the {{pkmn|games}}. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]].

===Japanese===
In Japanese, there are some distinct terms used to describe Shiny Pokémon..

「レア」 (''rare'') in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

「いろちがい」 (''color variation'') is used in several official sources referring to Shiny Pokémon:

* The list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* The [[easy chat system]] from [[Generation III]] games.
* A [[Wonder Card]] distributed with a Shiny {{p|Milotic}} in the Japanese version of {{game|Platinum}}. Specifically, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}, released on 12 October 2008.
* This Japanese word is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]].
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this Japanese word appears in the description of [[Shiny Charm]].

「{{tt|光|ひか}}る」 (''shining'') is sometimes used in official sources as well.
* The {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} use the word 「ひかる」 in Japanese. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} (Japanese: ひかるギャラドス) card.
* A Japanese webpage about [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] on Nintendo.co.jp refers to Shiny Pokémon with the word 「光る」.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_np3j/ ポケモンスタジアム金銀 - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork "[[:File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon]]" (Japanese: 光るポケモンとの遭遇) uses the word 「光る」.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0205/03/02/index.html ３－２．この春登場、強力・注目　商品ラインナップ - Nintendo.co.jp]</ref>
* The [[Shiny Charm]] (Japanese: ひかるおまもり ''Shining Charm'') uses that word in its Japanese name as well.
** From [[Pokémon X and Y]] onwards, the Japanese description of Shiny Charm mentions Shiny Pokémon with the word 「ひかる」 as well.

===English===
These are the names used for Shiny Pokémon in English.

* The Shiny Pokémon were named "rare" (Japanese: レア ''rare'') on [[Pokémon.com]] during Generation II<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021011204306/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events4.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (September 27, 2002 to January 2, 2003)</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20030124023941/http://www.pokemon.com/events/events8.asp Pokémon.com | Gotta Catch 'Em All! Station] (January 3 to March 13, 2003)</ref> and in the debug menu found in the game data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* The Shiny Pokémon are named "Color Pokémon" in the list of the player's Pokémon from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Specifically, the player's Pokémon may be listed according to the options "Group Color Pokémon" and "Cancel Color Pokémon".
* In [[Generation III]] games, the [[easy chat system]] includes the option "Alt. Color". This is translated from Japanese 「いろちがい」 (''color variation''), a term commonly used for Shiny Pokémon in multiple Pokémon media.
* The word "Shining" is used for the {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} from the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. For instance, the {{OBP|Shining Gyarados|Neo Revelation 65}} card.
* The word "Shiny" is mentioned in the title of the "Wow! Shiny {{p|Milotic}}!" [[Wonder Card]], which was distributed for {{game|Platinum}}. This is the first use of the word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) in an English game. However, this text was retrieved with the Wonder Card, and is not otherwise included in Pokémon Platinum's game data.
** This Wonder Card was received with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|US Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 9 May 2009, and then with the {{DL|List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|UK Video Game Championships 2009 Milotic}} released on 30 May 2009.
** This was based on the aforementioned Shiny Milotic distribution in Japanese, the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|2008 TCG World Championships Milotic}}.
* The word "Shiny" is first used in the anime in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', which aired in English on December 11, 2010. In the episode [[Barry (anime)|Barry]] exclaims that [[Ash's Noctowl]] is a weird Shiny color.
* The word "Shiny" is used in {{game|Black and White|s}}, when a female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} mentions Shiny Pokémon, and a male Ace Trainer mentions Shiny {{p|Krokorok}}. They are both located at the same house in [[Nimbasa City]]. This is the first use of the English word "Shiny" (referring to Shiny Pokémon) stored in the data of an English game, instead of received from a Wonder Card.
* The [[Shiny Charm]] debuted later, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. The item itself includes the word "Shiny", and the item description mentions Shiny Pokémon.

==Design==
Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. Conversely, some Pokémon, such as {{p|Caterpie}}, have dramatic differences in color.

An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

Little is known about how Shiny colorations are chosen. While it is often rumored that early Shiny colorations were determined algorithmically, all Pokémon Shiny colorations are individually defined in the game data<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/1521f52e37741a9220a1362443df6d0462e582d3/data/pokemon/palettes.asm Pokémon Gold Disassembly]</ref> and Pokémon with similar palettes have distinct Shiny colorations even in [[Generation II]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DrLavaYT/status/1235549199543885825 @DrLavaYT] on Twitter</ref> [[James Turner]], who has worked as a Pokémon designer since [[Generation V]], stated that the first time he selected Shiny colorations was in [[Generation VII]], when he selected the Shiny colorations of [[Ultra Beast]]s he designed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1091889698555875328 @JamesTurner_42] on Twitter</ref>

Shiny Pokémon were introduced in the [[Generation II]] games. When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from its [[Poké Ball]], [[#Appearance|it is surrounded]] by a flash of stars or light, which is accompanied by a pinging sound effect.

Individual Pokémon cannot change their Shininess. A Shiny Pokémon will always be Shiny, and a regular Pokémon will never become Shiny. Upon evolution, a Pokémon retains its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, while a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

An icon (seen in the table above) appears on the status screen of Shiny Pokémon in most games. In Generation II, this icon appears in the top-right corner of the screen, by the gender symbol, while in most other games, it appears in or near one of the corners of the Pokémon's image; however, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} do not have any icon. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white and the background of the Pokémon's image has a lighter shade; likewise, in Generation IV and V, the color of some elements of the status screen differ for Shiny Pokémon.

===Shiny rates===
{{incomplete|section|Changes in BDSP}}
The table below summarizes the rates at which Shiny Pokémon can be found by the methods that will be detailed below. The [[Shiny Charm]] can directly add to the odds for most methods, with [[hidden Pokémon]] being affected uniquely.

===Determining Shininess===
====Generation II====
In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon's {{IV}}s. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a [[Generation I]] game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Since the HP IV is calculated from the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its IVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192 (assuming every IV combination has the same probability, which is usually the case).

The probability differs for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon, as their IVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, a parent passes its Special stat (plus or minus 8) and its Defense stat to its children that are the opposite gender from it. (If Ditto is one of the parents, it is always the one that passes these stats.) This means that if a Shiny parent passes its IVs to a child, the child's inherited Defense IV will always be 10, its inherited Special IV will have a 1/2 chance of being 10, its randomly generated Attack IV will have a 1/2 chance of being an appropriate value, and its randomly generated Speed IV will have 1/16 chance of being 10. This results in a 1/64 chance that such a child will be Shiny. These breeding mechanics also mean that if a child inherits its IVs from a Pokémon that does not have a Defense IV of 10 and a Special IV of 2 or 10, it cannot be Shiny.

=====Transferring from Generation I Virtual Console games=====
Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games via [[Poké Transporter]] may be Shiny after being transported. Since Version 1.3 of Poké Transporter, this is determined the same way as in the Generation II games. Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense IVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.

The same {{DL||quirks}} that apply to transferring Pokémon from Generation I to Generation II games also apply.

The {{p|Mew}} that were distributed to the Generation I Virtual Console games have IVs of 15 in every stat, meaning they can never be Shiny.

====Generation III onward====
{{main|Personality value#Shininess}}
From [[Generation III]] onward, whether a Pokémon is Shiny depends on the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. The exact calculation is:
:<code>TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID '''xor''' PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0</code>
where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively.

The above formula can result in a number ranging from 0 to 65535. In Generations III to V, if this result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny; starting in [[Generation VI]], this threshold was increased to 16. For Generations III to V, this gives an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II. For Generations VI and later, the probability is doubled. In Generation VIII, if this result equals 0, or if the Pokémon has the [[fateful encounter]] flag set, then the Pokémon has square Shiny sparkles.

===Generation II===
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Generation II, any Pokémon can be Shiny, but the game includes a [[red Gyarados]] that the player must encounter at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story. In {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Odd Egg]] also has a high chance of hatching a Shiny Pokémon: 50% in Japanese games, and 14% in all other languages. {{fact}}

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of gray. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by the stars on its status screen or the animation shown when it comes into battle.

====Quirks====
Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Due to Shininess being determined by IVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by IVs in Generation II:
* It is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
* Only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
* A Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Shiny Smeargle can only have pattern ID of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8.
* As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they have the same Defense IVs, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|Transform glitches#Shiny Ditto glitch|Shiny Ditto glitch}}

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, it is possible to use {{DL|Transform glitches|Shiny Ditto glitch|a glitch}} to catch a Shiny {{p|Ditto}}. If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} twice (that is, transforms again while already transformed), when caught it will be a Ditto with the same DVs as the penultimate Pokémon it transformed into. This can be used to copy the DVs of a Shiny Pokémon owned by the player.

===Generation III===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In [[Generation III]], some Shiny Pokémon appear on NPCs' teams. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, three Trainers in the [[Trainer Tower]] have Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. Several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers also have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

====Quirks====
A bug with the way Shininess is handled for Eggs can cause the Shiny status of a Pokémon hatched from an Egg to differ from the Egg hatching animation. This means that a hatched Pokémon may appear to be Shiny during the hatching animation, but actually not be, and vice versa. This happens because an Egg is initially given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which it is generated, and if it is hatched in a different game, the hatched Pokémon will be given the Trainer details of that game's player; the problem originates in the fact that this update does not occur until after the cutscene of the Egg hatching, so while it may be Shiny for the player who hatched it, it may not be Shiny for the player who obtained the Egg (or vice versa). This also allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation III were only [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|distributed in Japan]]) to hatch a Shiny Pokémon when they would otherwise be non-Shiny Pokémon. This bug was not fixed until [[Generation VI]].

{{p|Unown}} also has an uneven distribution of Shiny probability depending on its form. This is because {{p|Unown}}'s form is also determined by its [[personality value]]. The exact probability for any given form depends on the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, but it can have the values 1/5120, 1/6144, 1/9216, 1/10240, or 1/18432.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|100px|{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}, a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In the [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player once again must encounter a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] during the course of the story.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Shiny Pokémon's coloration is reflected in the overworld if it is used as a [[walking Pokémon]].

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
Generation IV introduced the first ways to increase the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon.

The [[Masuda method]] refers to breeding two Pokémon originating from games of different languages to increase the chances of breeding a Shiny Pokémon. Under these circumstances, the game generates up to five total personality values to attempt to find one that will be Shiny. Foreign language Pokémon obtained via [[in-game trade]]s, such as the {{DL|Foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}'s {{p|Magikarp|Foppa}} and [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Pikachu|Volty}}, still count as being from the same game, so they do not activate the Masuda method unless traded to a different language. This mechanic is retained in all subsequent games.

The [[Poké Radar]] slowly improves the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain. The odds can reach a maximum of 41/8192 (approximately 1/200) for a single patch of grass for a chain of length 40 or higher; since up to four patches of grass can shake, the total odds become approximately 1/50. If the Poké Radar forces a Pokémon to be Shiny, it constructs a semi-random personality value that will fulfill the requirement for the Pokémon to be Shiny.

====Quirks====
{{a|Cute Charm}} can make it possible for players with certain [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]] combinations to manipulate the chance of Pokémon with specific gender ratios being Shiny to be as high as 21.34% (while making the chance lower for all other players and Pokémon with different gender ratios, while using the Ability). This is due to how Cute Charm forces a wild Pokémon to be a specific gender when it activates, which is accomplished by modifying the Pokémon's [[personality value]] to be one of an extremely limited set of values.

The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions (which in Generation IV were only [[List of traded event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|distributed in Japan]]) and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation V===
====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation V]] introduced a mechanism often referred to as a "Shiny lock", preventing {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Victini}} from being Shiny. Any Pokémon obtained in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e., from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]) are also prevented from being Shiny. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini still have Shiny sprites in the games' data.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player can obtain three specific Shiny Pokémon (but only two per version). If the player registers every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Unova Pokédex]], they can receive a [[Permit]] that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. After defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, Benga will give the player a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

Starting in Generation V, Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered was Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The Masuda method now generates up to six total personality values instead of five. This remains the case in later games.

Generation V also introduces the [[Shiny Charm]], a [[Key Item]] that causes the game to generate up to two extra personality values in an attempt to make a wild or bred Pokémon Shiny. This effect can stack with the Masuda method's effect. This item is also available in all future games.

====Quirks====
The bug from Generation III that can cause a Pokémon's Shiny status to differ from the hatching animation persists. This again allows Eggs obtained from event distributions to be Shiny after hatching.

===Generation VI===
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
[[Generation VI]] slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined to double the default chances that a Pokémon will be Shiny. The basic formula remains the same, but the threshold for a Pokémon to be Shiny is now 16 instead of 8. This results in a base Shiny probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096.

The following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]] in Generation VI games: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[aura trio]], {{p|Mewtwo}}, the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], and {{p|Deoxys}}. The in-game gift [[Cosplay Pikachu]] also cannot be Shiny.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
The [[Poké Radar]] returns for [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The exact mechanics of the Poké Radar in these games are not confirmed, but the Poké Radar can still force a Pokémon in a shaking patch to be Shiny.

In X and Y, in the [[Friend Safari]], Shiny Pokémon are more common. The game achieves this by generating up to four extra personality values when checking if a Pokémon will be Shiny. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://github.com/wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool/wiki/Friend-Safari-RNG Friend Safari RNG · wwwwwwzx/3DSRNGTool Wiki · GitHub]</ref>

[[Fishing#Generation VI|Consecutive fishing]] can increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon as the player builds a chain of reeled-in Pokémon by fishing from the same spot. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the game tries two extra personality values to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of 41/4096 or approximately 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. Unlike most other methods that increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon, this does not increase the number of personality values that the game tries, but instead executes a {{DL|DexNav|Shiny probability|custom algorithm}} to decide whether to force a Shiny personality value. In brief summary, the chances of forcing a Shiny Pokémon grow steadily from 0% at Search Level 0 to 0.06% at Search Level 100 (only surpassing the natural odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon at Search Level 41), then grows steadily to 0.08% at Search Level 200, after which the rate of growth becomes 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a random 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

===Generation VII===
[[File:Shiny Tapu Koko.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny {{p|Tapu Koko}}]]

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}. This marks the only time an NPC Trainer outside of a battle facility uses a Shiny Pokémon (excluding capture tutorials).

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
=====Sun and Moon=====
In the {{g|Sun and Moon}}, as well as {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as Pokémon in [[SOS Battle]]s continue calling in allies, the chance that they will be Shiny increases. At chain lengths of 11, 21, and 31, the game will check up to four extra personality values to find a Shiny Pokémon (meaning the maximum number of personality values checked will be 13 for a chain of 31 Pokémon or more). In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the chain length resets to 0 after 255, but in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], it does not reset. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/947223541925126144 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

=====Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon=====
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Pokémon encountered through the [[Ultra Warp Ride]] (excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] and [[Ultra Beast]]s) have a chance to be forced to be Shiny. The Shininess of these Pokémon is determined when the player arrives at the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]. The probability that a Pokémon encountered this way will be Shiny depends on the rarity of the wormhole and the distance traveled.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wwwwwwzx/status/946705752265129985 wwwwwwzx on Twitter]</ref>

Note that 3-ring "blooming" wormholes will always contain Legendary Pokémon (which do not have increased odds of being Shiny), unless all Legendary Pokémon that could be encountered in that particular wormhole have already been caught.

=====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!=====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Shiny Pokémon rates can be increased dramatically with catch combos and lures. However, combos past 31 will have no additional effect on shiny chance.

Catch combos affect all Pokémon, so if the player has a catch combo of 31 Pikachu, all Pokémon have a 1 in 314 chance of being shiny. However, the Pokémon the player has a catch combo for will be more common.

With a catch combo of 31 or higher, a [[Shiny Charm]], and a [[Lure]], the highest chance of 1 in 273 can be reached.

The above three Shiny-increasing methods have no effect on [[in-game trade]]s or [[Gift Pokémon]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLetsGo/comments/a48ruf/shiny_chances_an_update/</ref>

===Generation VIII===
[[Symbol encounter|Pokémon that appear in the overworld]] use their standard coloration, regardless of whether they are Shiny or not. They will not be revealed to be Shiny until they are encountered. [[Walking Pokémon]] assigned to follow you in [[Isle of Armor]], [[Crown Tundra]], and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} outdoor areas will use their correct coloration.

====Variants====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Images of square and star sparkles}}
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, there are two different types of Shiny Pokémon, distinguished only by the type of sparkle animation that plays when they enter battle. One type has an animation with star-shaped sparkles (similar to previous generations), while the other uses square-shaped sparkles.

Like Shininess itself, the type of Shiny sparkle a Pokémon has is determined by its [[personality value]]. Ordinarily, there is a 15/16 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having a personality value that yields star sparkles, and a 1/16 chance of it having a personality value that yields square sparkles. (For Shiny Pokémon obtained in Generation III, IV, or V, due to the different Shiny rate in those games, there is instead a 7/8 chance of a Shiny Pokémon having star sparkles, and a 1/8 chance of it having square sparkles.)

However, wild encounters in Pokémon Sword and Shield have drastically different rates for each Shiny sparkle type. Shiny Pokémon encountered in the wild in Pokémon Sword and Shield have a 65521/65536 chance of having square sparkles and a 15/65536 chance of having star sparkles.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1197039032112304128</ref> This does not apply to Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, received as {{pkmn2|gift}}s, or encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

Shiny Pokémon obtained from [[Dynamax Adventures]] always have star sparkles. Pokémon that are guaranteed to be Shiny (i.e. from Max Raid Battles during some [[Wild Area News]] events) always have a personality value that yields square sparkles.

Additionally, starting in Pokémon Sword and Shield v1.1.0, Shiny Pokémon met in a [[fateful encounter]] or transferred from [[Pokémon GO]] always have square sparkles, regardless of their personality value.<ref>https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/1273492861065912320</ref>

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, these variants are not distinguishable from each other, as all Shiny Pokémon use the same entry animation with star-shaped sparkles. (similar to previous generations)

====In-game Shiny Pokémon====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny when encountered as wild Pokémon: the [[Regional form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} at {{DL|Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station}}, {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, {{p|Eternatus}}, the Galarian [[Legendary birds]], {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, and {{p|Calyrex}}. Additionally, all [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|in-game gift Pokémon]] (except the fossil Pokémon from [[Cara Liss]]) cannot be Shiny.

Pokémon that are too high a level for the player to catch with the current [[Badge]]s (described as "very strong-looking" in-game) cannot be Shiny, except Pokémon that appear as static encounters.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the following Pokémon are prevented from being Shiny: the [[Gift_Pokémon#Generation_VIII|Gift Mew and Jirachi]] in [[Floaroma Town]], and all Pokémon available via [[In-game trade]].

=====Max Raid Battles=====
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, whether the Pokémon currently occupying an active [[Pokémon Den]] is Shiny or not is determined when the den becomes active, and will not change if the game is reset. For dens activated with a [[Wishing Piece]], the Shiny status of the Pokémon in the den is also predetermined for every subsequent day the den remains active. The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in a [[Max Raid Battle]] is not affected by the [[Shiny Charm]].

Although Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles can always be caught regardless of how many Badges the player has, if the Pokémon's level is too high for the number of [[Badge]]s the player has, it will be forced not to be Shiny. However, because Shiny status is determined when the Max Raid Battle spawns, if the player earns enough Badges before defeating it, the Pokémon will be Shiny upon capture even if they lacked the required Badges when it spawned.

======Wild Area News events======
Pokémon Sword and Shield has had several [[Wild Area News]] events that included Shiny Pokémon. During these events, one of the 5★ [[Max Raid Battle]] encounter slots was guaranteed to be a Shiny Pokémon. As mentioned above, these guaranteed Shiny Pokémon will always have square sparkles.

The following is a list of such events in reverse chronological order:

At the launch of [[The Isle of Armor]], uncatchable {{p|Zeraora}} [[Wild Area News#June 17 to 28, 2020|appeared]] in 3★-5★ raids. In 5★ raids, one of the Zeraora encounters was Shiny and more difficult to defeat. Players eventually received [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)#1 Million Victories Shiny Zeraora|Shiny Zeraora]] via [[Pokémon HOME]] as a reward for collectively defeating over 1 million Zeraora in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.<ref>https://twitter.com/Pokemon_cojp/status/1275629411514175488</ref>

=====Traded Eggs=====
Unlike in previous generations, where Eggs keep their original personality values when traded and can potentially go from Shiny to non-Shiny or vice-versa if hatched by a player with a different [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and Secret ID, Eggs traded in Sword and Shield have their personality values altered according to the receiver's TID/SID to ensure they retain their original Shiny status when hatched on a different game.

====Methods of increasing Shiny rates====
{{incomplete|section|Missing information on extra shiny roll applied in Grand Underground in BDSP during "LightStone" bonus from collecting 40 Digletts,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1459147114110492676</ref> and BDSP Poke Radar rates, which differ from prior games.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1462473371917111303</ref>}}
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the number of times that the player has caught or defeated each species of Pokémon increases the chance of Pokémon of that species appearing as a [[Brilliant Pokémon]] in the overworld.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334955461939210</ref> This number is recorded in the player's Pokédex as "Number Battled". It includes wild battles, Max Raid Battles, Trainer battles (except [[Link Battle]]s, the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, and [[Restricted Sparring]]).

The appearance rate of Brilliant Pokémon is further while [[Brilliant Pokémon#Fishing|chain fishing]]; depending on the length of the chain, a bonus between +2% and +25% will be added to the base appearance rate.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448334998474477577</ref>

Brilliant Pokémon are more likely to be Shiny depending on the "Number Battled" for that species. When determining a Brilliant Pokémon's personality value, if the Pokémon would not be Shiny the game will regenerate the personality value a number of times depending on the "Number Battled", up to a maximum of 6 times.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1448335003834851333</ref> Non-Brilliant Pokémon are not affected and do not have enhanced Shiny rates.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny. However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], and [[Partner Pokémon (game)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be received in-game, but could be acquired through events or transferring.

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''*''' could not be received in-game, but could be acquired through [[trade|trading]].

Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means in that generation.

===Non-playable character's Shiny Pokémon===
[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.png|thumb|A Shiny {{p|Minccino}} in the introduction screen]]
It is possible for all of the following NPC Pokémon to be Shiny:
* The {{p|Poochyena}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}} that attacks [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Zigzagoon}} that [[Wally]] uses in the capture tutorial in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Ralts}} that Wally catches in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (but only when he catches it and not in subsequent battles).
* The Pokémon that the {{ka|old man}} encounters in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* [[Rental Pokémon]] found in the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} in {{game|Emerald}}.
* [[Wild Pokémon]] that appear in the [[Battle Pike]] and [[Battle Pyramid]] in {{game|Emerald}}.
* The {{p|Starly}} that attacks the player in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, as well as in {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}}.
* The {{p|Bidoof}} that {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} captures in the capture tutorial in {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}}.
* {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} Pokémon used by the AI in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}.
* [[Professor Juniper]]'s {{p|Minccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro and the one used in the catching tutorial in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Professor Juniper's {{p|Cinccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}
* The {{p|Purrloin}} that [[Bianca]] catches in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

* The {{p|Bunnelby}} that the rival, Calem or Serena, captures in the tutorial in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the side series games==
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting different colors (red eyes instead of the usual yellow)]]
===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually Shiny. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name. The Pokémon Eggs change colors in the same way. Additionally, Smeargle's back and tail markings can be red, green or blue depending on its DVs.<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u4PDIfP9VerQSQibzHPzQh5oRNBUhmEi10F4kZ2uuho/edit?usp=sharing</ref>

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kids' Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

It is possible for [[Challenge Cup]] Pokémon to be Shiny.

===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny {{p|Voltorb}} in Colosseum]]
[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|200px|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]
{{main|List of glitches (Generation III)#Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug|List of glitches (Generation III) → Shiny Shadow Pokémon bug}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, non-Shadow Pokémon obtained in the game (such as the player's starter {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} and [[Duking]]'s {{p|Plusle}}) are prevented from being Shiny.

There is roughly a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny. When a [[Shadow Pokémon]] is first encountered, it is assigned a random [[personality value]], but the game ensures that the personality value does not cause it to be Shiny for its NPC Trainer (using that Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID). When the player catches the Shadow Pokémon, because it retains that same personality value but now has a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, it is possible for the Shadow Pokémon to be Shiny for the player. In subsequent encounters, the Shadow Pokémon retains the same personality value it had in the first encounter (meaning that whether it is Shiny for the player or not cannot change); however, because its NPC Trainer's Trainer ID and Secret ID can differ, it can be Shiny for its NPC Trainer in these subsequent encounters.

[[Purification]] has not effect on the Shiny status of a Pokémon: Shiny Pokémon remain Shiny, and non-Shiny Pokémon cannot become Shiny.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, non-Shadow Pokémon (such as the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[in-game trade]]s, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon) can be Shiny.

Like in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]] cannot be Shiny. (Including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Phione}}, which despite having variable [[personality value]]s, they both use the [[Pseudorandom_number_generation_in_Pokémon#Alternative_pseudorandom_number_generator_.28ARNG.29 | antishiny ARNG]] generation method which prevents them from being Shiny, the same way as Type 1 [[Wonder Card]] Pokémon and {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Manaphy}} Egg.)

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseums can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon.

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
[[File:Shiny Roserade PMD BSL.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Roserade]]
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Stat|Belly}} stat starts at 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
[[File:Shiny Ho-Oh PMD GTI.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiny Ho-Oh]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon at [[Eternal Ruins]] through a [[Legend of the Mysterious Ruins]] job request. This Shiny Ho-Oh has a slightly different moveset to the regular Ho-Oh that can be met. It also has a unique animation that plays before the battle begins.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
[[File:Shiny Celebi PSMD.png|thumb|200px|Shiny Celebi]]
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
[[File:Shiny Gyarados PMDDX.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Gyarados]]
27 [[Mystery Dungeon]]s, once completed for the first time, will have "Strong Foe" Pokémon that spawn. These Pokémon have a higher than normal chance of being Shiny compared to the main series. Shiny Pokémon cannot be recruited unless the Player has the [[Friend Bow]] equipped and the Shiny Pokémon's respective Camp purchased. [[Recruitment]] is still not guaranteed if these criteria are met.

Additionally, the Shiny Celebi from past Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also makes a cameo appearance, and can be recruited after clearing [[Purity Forest]] and visiting Mystery Houses—rare rooms that spawn in post-game dungeons—with an invitation.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, {{SSB|Greninja}}, and {{SSB|Incineroar}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat, and one of {{p|Incineroar}}'s alternate colorations greatly resembles its Shiny coloration; {{p|Mewtwo}} also has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Squirtle and Ivysaur both have their current Shiny colorations, but Charizard has its original Shiny coloration from {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold/Silver}}/{{v2|Crystal}}. All other playable Pokémon in the series do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
[[File:Shiny Mothim PR.png|left|200px|thumb|Shiny Mothim]]
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the core series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

The Pokémon that appear during the credits can be Shiny, as well.

====Pokémon Rumble U====
Shiny Pokémon return to the [[Pokémon Rumble series]] in [[Pokémon Rumble U]] though are only obtainable through the use of passwords or the NFC Rumble U Figures.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of the main scenario. {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are 15 Shiny Pokémon, including [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, in [[Pokémon Shuffle]]: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, and {{p|Diancie}}. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its [[Skill]], experience, level, [[Mega Effects|Mega Effect]] (where applicable), and sometimes type.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Shiny Pokémon (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, certain Pokémon species have a chance of being Shiny, with each species having its own Shiny rate. For most Pokémon, the Shiny rate is approximately 1 in 450. However, in certain [[List of events (GO)|in-game events]], the Shiny chance may be increased for certain Pokémon. For example, on [[Community Day]]s, the featured Pokémon will always have increased Shiny odds. Shiny Pokémon may be encountered through any method: randomly in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, from hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, by completing [[Field Research]] tasks, by winning [[Raid Battle]]s, or as [[GO Battle League]] rewards. All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a Raid Battle, the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny during battle, but it may become Shiny during the bonus challenge. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.

===Pokémon Duel===
There are several figures that are Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Duel]]. These figures are usually posed identically or near-identically to their regular Pokémon counterparts. A Shiny figure's Data Disk is always identical to the regular version's but a few have different Abilities. A Shiny figure cannot evolve or change form into a non-Shiny figure nor vice-versa. Additionally, a Shiny figure cannot be selected to be made into a {{DL|Tournament (Duel)|Golden and Silver Figures|Golden or Silver Figure}}. The following is a list of Shiny figures.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
[[File:Magikarp Jump Pattern 99.png|thumb|Gold Magikarp|100px]]
A Shiny {{p|Magikarp}}, referred to as a Gold Magikarp, is one of the possible Magikarp to fish in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Shiny {{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Corsola}} may also appear in random encounter events during feeding. If the player breaks the [[Everstone]] that the Shiny {{p|Magikarp}} is holding and evolves it into a {{p|Gyarados}}, the {{p|Gyarados}} will also be Shiny.

===Pokémon Quest===
[[File:Shiny Tangela PQ.png|left|thumb|200px|Shiny Tangela]]
Pokémon can appear Shiny in [[Pokémon Quest]]. When viewing the Pokémon's details, the Pokémon's picture will appear in its shiny coloration. The only benefit to having a Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Quest]] is to gain 20 PM Tickets. Otherwise, it is just an aesthetic feature. It is considered that there is a 1/75 to a 1/100 chance of attracting one. In other Pokémon generations and games, stars and swirls would appear if you found a Shiny Pokémon. [[Pokémon Quest]] has no indication on whether you attracted a Shiny Pokémon or not.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], some of the {{mas|Egg Pokémon}} have a chance to be a Shiny variant. The first Shiny Pokémon to be made available to a character other than the player character was {{p|Rayquaza}}, who appears paired with {{mas|Steven}} in his [[Steven (Masters)#Rayquaza|Anniversary 2021]] appearance.

Shiny {{p|Celebi}} also makes its appearance during the [[List of special events (Masters)|special events]] Double Trouble and Blasting Off Again.

==In the TCG==
Shiny Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. The {{TCG|Stormfront}}, {{TCG|Platinum}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} and {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} sets include three cards each with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as an entirely separate rarity. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards are not limited by special gameplay and deckbuilding rules, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into non-Shiny Pokémon.

Shiny versions of several Pokémon were also featured as secret rares in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion, as well from {{TCG|Next Destinies}} until {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, and in {{TCG|VMAX Rising}} ownards. Special sets such as {{TCG|Shining Legends}} and {{TCG|Hidden Fates|Shiny Vault}} are also focused on Shiny Pokémon

Sometimes, cards with Shiny Pokémon are tied to ongoing events in the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}, such as the Shiny {{p|Gengar}} [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Gengar|distributed in October 2014]], or the appearance of the [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lance Gyarados sparkling.png|250px|thumb|[[Lance's Gyarados]] sparkling as it exits its Poké Ball, similarly to the games]]
[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until [[Generation II]], several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, and therefore may not be counted as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternately colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. Another example would be in ''[[SM058|Fighting Back the Tears!]]'', where a non-standard alternately colored {{p|Mareanie}} (who happens to be [[James's Mareanie]]'s first love) appears, and later evolves into a {{p|Toxapex}}.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Archipelago, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gyara Dragon Rage Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|200px|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Colress Genesect Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|A Shiny Genesect in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

===Movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into a Mega Rayquaza.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
{{adv|Silver}} captured a [[Silver's Gyarados|Shiny Gyarados]], the raging leader of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.
[[File:Lance Gyarados JNM.png|thumb|right|100px|The red Gyarados in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
===={{chap|Black & White}}====
A Shiny {{p|Genesect}} appeared in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', although it wasn't revealed to be Shiny at this time.

===={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', the Shiny Genesect was revealed to be owned by [[Colress]], who used it to battle [[Blake's Genesect]].

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
{{main|Lance's Gyarados}}
The red Gyarados, owned by [[Lance]], appeared in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. It participated in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] and was defeated by [[Leon]] and his {{p|Charizard}}.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it {{Berries}}. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
The Red Gyarados makes an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'' where Team Rocket plots on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves while at the same time, Clefairy went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]] through [[Generation VII]] , it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a {{player}} hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny {{p|Manaphy}}.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available (excluding [[Wild Area News]]), with two.
* Before [[Generation VIII]], {{p|Castform}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|weather forms]] and {{p|Magearna}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|default form]] had the same colors regardless whether they were Shiny or not (although the latter is not legitimately available in its Shiny coloration).

==Mainspace articles==
Created a few articles for possible mainspacing, was wondering if you could take a look at my page and tell me if any are ready for it?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:48, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

== Your talk archive ==

I'd like to point out that there are multiple unresolved concerns presented at [[User talk:Kogoro/8#Template:MoveInfobox]]. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:34, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

== Usage of the word "native" ==

Hello. I noticed that you and the other chiefs of staff have ruled that the term "natives" should absolutely not be used on the "Biology" section of the {{p|Raichu}} article, and I was redirected to you by {{U|Abcboy}} for further discussion on the matter. It was an issue that {{U|PardescanSlowbro}} raised out of concerns that the word is inherently offensive and incidentally racist to people of indigenous descent, a viewpoint that I and {{U|Force Fire}} highly disagreed with because the word was being used in an entirely non-offensive context. I'm not going to argue against your ruling because you all apparently reached this ruling with a reasoning that had nothing to do with concerns of incidental racism. But I am now curious as to whether your ruling will apply to all other articles that use the word "native(s)" in some way or form, or even phrases like "native to" or something along those lines. I hope it won't, because I feel doing so would be a silly overreaction, but I digress.

Hope to hear from you about the matter soon. Thanks! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

== Why is Shipping allowed? ==

Hello Kogoro, I was wondering, why is shipping allowed on this encyclopedia? There is almost no fact behind it, a lot of the time it claims that "shippers" have noticed something that suggests that 10 year olds should be in a relationship, but never cites it. Why not just have one article that merely acknowledgeds its existence but doesn't promote fan theories that should be left on web fourms. If this speculation is allowed then many other fan theories should be by this logic be allowed.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 23:47, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

== [[Sea Cottage]] Bill's Secret Garden rumours - edit war with ForceFire ==

Hi Kogoro. I recently added information regarding the Bill's Secret Garden rumour to the [[Sea Cottage]] page, one of the most notorious Pokémon rumours of all time. After doing so, ForceFire removed it without adequate discussion, claiming that it lacked appropriate notability. I have provided a wealth of sources on the talk page attesting to the spread and notoriety of the rumour, including many well-known sites which compare the Secret Garden rumour to [[the truck]] and [[Mewthree]]. I requested a second opinion from Dennou as I felt ForceFire was behaving in an authoritarian manner, but I'm now contacting you because ForceFire is continuing to remove this information without engaging in discussion. I find this deeply troubling, as this disregard for regular users and rejection of accountability is bound to have a negative effect on the wiki as a whole. --[[User:Poppy Appletree|Poppy]] [[User talk:Poppy Appletree|:3]] 14:54, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
: As a follow-up, ForceFire has inappropriately issued a warning for edit warring, despite it being him who is engaging in edit warring. I have at all points sought discussion, whereas he has ignored my comments and provided extremely tardy accounts for his actions. --[[User:Poppy Appletree|Poppy]] [[User talk:Poppy Appletree|:3]] 15:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
:: Additionally, ForceFire has removed the evidence I have provided on the talk page for the [[Sea Cottage]] page, contrary to the talk page policy. I believe it would be appropriate for him to recuse himself from this matter. --Poppy Appletree 15:32, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

== I'm pretty sure I'm doing this title and stuff in the wrong place ==

[[User:SeeYaLater|SeeYaLater]] ([[User talk:SeeYaLater|talk]]) 16:17, 3 December 2018 (UTC) Erm... So, I edited a few of bulbapedia page (not sure if my edits still are there, though, I'm sure of one), and I still can't edit my userpage thing.

Ermm... Thank you...

== Kether Donohue ==

Hello
My name is Ritaya Moriarty.
I am bringing up an unsourced claim propagated by [[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]], regarding [[Kether Donohue]].
FF keeps adding the name Annice Moriarty to the page, claiming that she used this pesudonym, despite there being no source linking her to this Malagasy name.
Annice Moriarty (pronounced as Ann-ih-say), was given to her by our mother, who sadley died in 2007, so we never did find out what the name means as her and Annie moved to New York when she was 12 back in 1988.
I am trying to get out of people where they get the whole thing from that Kether Donohue appropriated the name Annice Moriarty. Yes they have similar voices and may have been in the same shows, I do not deny that for a moment, but I do dispute the user-generated IMDB credits.
I tested this on IMDB a while ago, they do not check sources, most of the time they just add it and never check if it is for real or not. I am also working on removing all Annice Moriarty related things from Kether's IMDB page.
You guys need to be careful when you use that site, if it is indeed where you guys get this thing from, as IMDB is meant to say more like who was in this show, not what alternative names they use.
The thing with pseudonyms is you must be careful and be able to always verify them.
So unless somebody can find something of Kether Donohue saying, "I used the name Annice Moriarty", I am afraid there's nothing to verify that claim.
yes it has existed on the internet for eons and eons, but I request that you talk with force fire, and explain to them that this claim is totally unsourced and based likely upon them having similar voices.
I understand force fire's concern about me proving that I am indeed the sister of Annice Moriarty, I'm working on that.
In the mean time, please either stop force fire form readding the name Annice Moriarty to [[Kether Donohue]] until you guys can source a verifiable non-user generated IMDB source that says that Donohue appropriated this name.
We have to be careful in these times.
thanks.

== A new suggestion: 60-second rule on talk pages ==

Because {{u|Archaic}} is very busy, I think I have an idea. Since you're the current {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}}, I have to write to you, Kogoro.

The idea is to introduce a '''sixty-second rule''' to talk pages. Any suggestions to remove this rule will be a block-able offense. It works like this: should a user post a new message to a talk page, and then they must wait 60 seconds between posts (120 seconds for users that are not yet autoconfirmed). The time of this rule will be calculated according to the server's clock. This method will be '''very''' efficient, as it will work well against spam.

Thank you for reading. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheICT''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''Liker''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''4''']] 16:24, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide''' is a guidebook for {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} published by [[Nintendo Power]]. It contains 120 pages of information about Pokémon Gold and Silver, including a walkthrough of the game's story, an explanation of the various game mechanics, and information on some of the Pokémon you can find in the games.

==Blurb==
''The Pokémon Masters at Nintendo Power have dug up a treasure trove of insider information on the newest Pokémon adventures. The Pokémon Gold Version and Silver Version guide contains information on the new places, people and Pokémon that make Gold and Silver the most precious Pokémon Paks to date.''

* ''COMPLETE WALK-THROUGH''
**Take a guided tour of all the routes, towns, islands, caves and cities in Pokémon Gold Version and Silver Version, complete with in-depth info on what to see and do while you're in each area.
* ''CATCH 'EM GUIDE''
**Learn how to catch many of the most difficult Pokémon with tips on evolution, stones, items and eggs.
* ''BATTLE STRATEGIES''
**Find out which Pokémon to take into each battle with your Rival, the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and more!
* ''DETAILED MAPS''
**Keep track of your progress and always know where you're going with our detailed maps.

==Contents==
===Introduction===
The first six pages of the Player's Guide include a full map of the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions. They also introduce the new characters and mechanics introduced in the Gold and Silver versions, such as the [[Pokégear]]. These are followed by a basic overview of [[Pokémon battle]]s and methods of catching Pokémon.

===Trainer's Manual===
The Trainer's Manual is the walkthrough of the games and is the bulk of the Player's Guide. It is separated into two sections, each covering the Johto and Kanto halves of the games. Lists of available Pokémon are provided up until the [[Burned Tower]], and maps, locations of items, notable NPCs, and events are also listed for every location.

Each Gym Leader and encounter with [[Silver (game)|the rival]] are also listed. Johto Gym leaders list the Pokémon on each Leader's team, as well as their levels and types; tips and tricks for each Leader are also provided, with recommended Pokémon types and the prize the Leader gives out. For Kanto Gym Leaders, however, only the tips, recommended types, and prizes are listed; teams are not provided. The same principle is used for the rival: his team is listed in the Johto section, but not in the Kanto section.

===Data File===
The Data file contains information on methods of encountering and catching Pokémon; a list of available [[Poké Ball]]s; methods of [[Evolution]]; [[Pokémon breeding]]; version exclusives between {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Gold, and Silver; and other miscellaneous mechanics. Maps of timed events in Johto and Kanto are also provided, including phone calls and trees that hold [[Apricorn]]s and [[Berries]]. Finally, at the end of the Player's Guide, lists of all items, all TMs and HMs, all moves, and the Pokémon covered in the guide are provided.

Recruitment

2018-07-25T15:57:52Z

FlitPix: Grammar

{{samename|the mechanic in [[Pokémon Conquest]]|Warrior#Recruitment}}
{{incomplete}}
[[File:Recruitment.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Smoochum}} asking to join the team]]
'''Recruitment''' is [[Mystery Dungeon game mechanics|the main method]] of obtaining new [[Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]. After defeating an enemy in a dungeon, it will occasionally offer to join the player's team.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, if a newly-recruited Pokémon—a recruit who has never cleared or warped out of a dungeon—or the team's leader faints before making it out of the dungeon, it will leave the party permanently. Dungeons consisting of multiple parts—such as [[Mt. Thunder]]—will count reaching a checkpoint as making it out.

The games contain items that increase the chance of Pokémon asking to be recruited. These are important as the base recruit rate of certain Pokémon, most notably {{p|Kecleon}}, is below zero.

There is a limit of 413 Pokémon at one time in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Teams]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the limit is 552 instead, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], it is 288.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], recruitment is no longer present. Instead, the player must [[connection|connect]] with other Pokémon in order to expand their team.

==Requirements==
In addition to the prospective recruit having an effective recruit rate higher than zero, there are several other prerequisites for recruiting a certain Pokémon to be possible:
* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|first two games]], offers will only be made if there is space in the current party. In the sequels, this requirement was removed, instead excess members simply warp out of the dungeon. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], players can choose if they want to send home the recruited Pokémon or not.
* The team leader must deal the finishing blow that causes the enemy to faint.
* The enemy must be adjacent to the team leader when the finishing blow is delivered. However, Pokémon that are not immediately recruited when the final blow is dealt, but after a short cutscene (many [[Legendary Pokémon]] for instance), are an exception to this rule.
* Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Omastar}} in [[Brine Cave]], are unrecruitable. In addition, many boss [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be recruited on the first visit. In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, all but nine fully-evolved Pokémon cannot be recruited and have to be acquired via evolving.

===Additional requirements===
====Red and Blue Rescue Team====
* The player must be able to buy [[Friend Area]]s; the ability to do so is unlocked after clearing [[Mt. Steel]].
** The player must have bought the Friend Area that a prospective team member belongs to. This means that some Pokémon cannot be recruited until the post-game, because their Friend Areas aren't available for purchase until then. This is not the case for some legendary Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}}, whose Friend Areas cannot be bought; instead, their Friend Areas are unlocked after they are recruited.

====Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
* [[Chimecho Assembly]] must be open to the player's team.
* Boss legendary Pokémon no longer have to be defeated by the team leader, in order to be recruited.

===Fast Friend===
The [[IQ]] Skill "Fast Friend", available in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], raises the recruitment rate by 1%. It's important to notice this 1% is crucial for recruiting Kecleon, which has a recruitment rate of -49.5%, making it impossible to be recruited with only a high level Pokémon and a Golden Mask/Amber Tear.

Fast Friend is learned only by Pokémon in IQ Groups [[List_of_Pokémon_by_IQ_group#Group B|B]] and [[List_of_Pokémon_by_IQ_group#Group H|H]].

Further Friend Bows can be purchased from [[Kecleon Shop|Kecleon shops]] in [[Joyous Tower]]. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], the Friend Bow is supplemented with a number of other items, but can still be bought from Kecleon Shops in [[Zero Isle North]]. In Explorers of Sky, the Friend Bow is able to be won as a prize item from the Recycle Shop in [[Spinda's Café]].

The following [[Wonder Mail]] S mission allows the player to explore the [[Drenched Bluff]] and receive the Friend Bow as a reward.

Exchangeable item

2018-05-14T18:47:43Z

FlitPix: /* Appearance */ Punctuation

An '''exchangeable item''' is a category of [[item]] which serves no in-game purpose aside from being able to be traded for another item or some sort of service. Though several [[Key Item]]s fall under this category (such as [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s {{key|III|Bike Voucher}}), their exchange is often important to the story of the games, so they are not included here. These items are often also [[valuable item]]s.

===Shards===
{{main|Shard}}
These items, also introduced in Generation III, come in different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. They can be exchanged for the elemental [[evolutionary stone]]s in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, in groups of ten for the [[TM]]s containing [[weather]]-modifying moves in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and in groups of eight for special [[Move Tutor]] moves in {{game|Platinum}}. They can be found lying around in certain areas, held by certain Pokémon, or in [[the Underground]] of Sinnoh. They can also be traded in for certain Berries from {{tc|Juggler}}s found in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Move Tutor]]s found in {{ci|Driftveil}}, {{to|Lentimas}}, {{ci|Humilau}}, and {{ci|Nacrene}} will use Shards as payment (from two to twelve), although each Tutor requires only one kind of Shard.

===Apricorns===
{{main|Apricorn}}
These items are exclusive to [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. There are several different colors, and they can be made into different [[Poké Ball]]s by [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]].

===Bottle Caps===
{{main|Bottle Cap}}
These items were introduced in [[Generation VII]] along with [[Hyper Training]]. They can be exchanged to allow the player to raise a Pokémon's {{IV}}s through Hyper Training. They come in two colors that allow the player to raise either one or all of a Pokémon's IVs.

[[File:Shoko Patrat Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Big Mushroom in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A [[Big Mushroom]] appeared in ''[[PS506|A Week to Go and Old Wounds]]'', where [[Shoko]] gave it to one of her {{p|Patrat}} to hold while demonstrating {{adv|Black}} her [[Marvelous Bridge]] Partrat Show.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* [[Heart Scale]]s are the shed scales of {{p|Luvdisc}}.
* The [[Move Reminder]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} accepts Mushrooms instead of Heart Scales, most probably due to the lack of {{p|Luvdisc}} in [[Kanto]] and the [[Sevii Islands]], as well as the abundance of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}.
* Due to a mistake in the Nintendo Power Pokémon Diamond and Pearl guide, there was a rumor that the [[Shoal Salt]] functions like the [[Leftovers]]. However, multiple tests in-game have shown that the Shoal Salt does nothing; it is in fact the [[Shell Bell]] that functions similarly to Leftovers, itself created in Generation III from four Shoal Salts and four [[Shoal Shell]]s.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, the Heart Scale is incorrectly sorted in the [[Bag]] as an evolutionary stone when the bag is sorted by type, instead of as an exchangeable item.

'''Team Galactic''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ギンガ{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Ginga-dan'', literally ''Galaxy Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Unlike previous villainous teams, their goal is not limited to the [[Pokémon world]], but is the recreation of the entire [[Pokémon universe]].

==In the games==
Team Galactic appears only in the Sinnoh game trio of {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; however, unlike their Generation III counterparts of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], their impact on the storyline is not affected on which of the primary pair is being played until the end (varying in the Pokémon they summon), though their role does expand in Pokémon Platinum.

===In Diamond and Pearl===
Team Galactic first appears in [[Jubilife City]], harassing [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant, and trying to get them to give over Rowan's research, with the player returning from [[Oreburgh City]] just in time to help. After this, the player's next encounter with the organization is in the [[Valley Windworks]], where [[Mars]] heads up a scheme to steal energy for use in their activities.

After she has been defeated in the Valley Windworks, [[Team Galactic Eterna Building|Team Galactic's building]] in [[Eterna City]] remains as a stronghold on the western side of the region, led by [[Jupiter]]. Team Galactic's leader, [[Cyrus]], is first encountered shortly after this, as the player travels through the south cave of [[Mt. Coronet]] for the first time, though he does not give his name, and it is not implied that he is involved with the group.

After this, Team Galactic remains low on the radar for a while, not appearing again until [[Veilstone City]], where their base is set up. After the player beats [[Maylene]], Rowan's assistant will ask for their help in defeating two Team Galactic Grunts (the same as those in Jubilife City) who have stolen their [[Pokédex]] and refuse to return it. Eventually, after [[Crasher Wake]] is defeated, a single Grunt loitering near the entrance to the [[Great Marsh]] will claim to have a bomb but run away when he is overheard. The player must chase him to the [[Valor Lakefront]] where he will finally battle, and will run off scared due to his defeat. In [[Celestic Town]], the player defeats a Grunt who plans on causing damage to the town, and is then confronted by Cyrus, who reveals that he is the leader of Team Galactic before issuing a threat and leaving. Team Galactic disappears until after the player has met with their {{ga|Barry|rival}}, Rowan, and Rowan's assistant in the [[Canalave Library]] after Byron has been defeated. Here it is found that they were responsible for a huge explosion at Lake Valor, originally mistaken for a tremor. After [[Saturn]] is defeated at Lake Valor and Mars at Lake Verity, Team Galactic will block the player's way to [[Lake Acuity]] from [[Acuity Lakefront|its lakefront]] until [[Candice]] has been defeated, although Jupiter defeats the player's rival before the player arrives.

From here, Team Galactic's final push remains, with a showdown occurring at [[Team Galactic HQ]] in [[Veilstone City]] after an initial infiltration, and then a trek to the [[Spear Pillar]] at [[Mt. Coronet]] to stop Cyrus from summoning {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} to destroy and remake the universe. Here the rival teams up with the player to defeat Mars and Jupiter together, while Cyrus and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] remain as a final challenge. After the Pokémon is either defeated or caught, Cyrus will tell the player he is not finished and will try once again to remake the universe for himself, but is never seen again, with the assets of Team Galactic being left to Saturn.

===In Platinum===
Several events change from Diamond and Pearl to Platinum, most significantly the fact that Cyrus appears at the beginning of the game at Lake Verity and again in Eterna City, while [[Charon]] is added to the cast of Team Galactic, being introduced at the same time as Mars. [[Looker]] tails Team Galactic throughout the game, but does not arrive in time to stop them at any point due to the help of the player.

From here, their plot remains mostly identical, however Cyrus will appear and battle with the player in [[Celestic Town]], while Charon will assist with the penultimate stage of the [[Red Chain]] experiment. It is also stated that the plaques on the [[Eterna City]] statue of Dialga and Palkia have been removed by vandals, later revealed to be Team Galactic, for research by Cyrus. Through this, the full text of the plaques can be discovered in the [[Team Galactic HQ]].

Instead of only Dialga or Palkia being summoned at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus creates a duplicate of the Red Chain to harness both of their powers, knowing the instability it would cause in the universe. The plot extends past the Spear Pillar, with {{p|Giratina}} drawing Cyrus into the [[Distortion World]] to prevent the destruction of space-time, and [[Cynthia]] and the player following after to make sure that the hole ripped in the fabric of space-time by Giratina is closed so as to not destroy the world.

After Giratina is defeated or captured, Cyrus chooses to stay in the Distortion World, again leaving Team Galactic's assets in Saturn's hands. However, when the player journeys to the [[Battle Zone]] after becoming the Champion, Charon is revealed to still be plotting, with a plan to ransom money from the citizens of Sinnoh by threatening to cause [[Stark Mountain]] to erupt. Mars and Jupiter join him in this venture in hopes of finding Cyrus, but decide to quit when defeated by the player once more, and Charon goes alone into Stark Mountain's deepest cave. It is here where he is finally arrested by Looker, restoring Sinnoh's safety.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Team Galactic Commanders anime.png|250px|thumb|[[Saturn]], [[Mars]], [[Cyrus]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Charon]] in the anime]]
Unlike their predecessors [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Magma]], and [[Team Aqua]], Team Galactic did not appear in the earliest segments of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The group finally appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', with [[Saturn]] and several {{tc|Galactic Grunt|Grunts}} appearing in a short cameo at the end of the episode. They had assigned the [[Team Rocket trio]] of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to steal the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb}} from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]].

Team Galactic made a second appearance in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', this time in an expanded role. Saturn brought two grunts with him to the [[Solaceon Ruins]], using three [[plate]]s to obtain a [[Spear Key|strange cube]] inside. After thanking the Team Rocket trio who followed them inside, Saturn escaped using his {{p|Bronzor}}, leaving the ruins in chaos due to the enraged {{p|Unown}}.

In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encountered the organization for the first time. Saturn again lead the mission, exposing the strange cube found in the ruins to the Veilstone meteorites and transforming it into the [[Spear Key]]. Team Galactic attempted to steal the meteorites as well, but after a brief battle between Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} and [[Brock's Croagunk]], as well as many {{p|Golbat}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Electabuzz]], the team was forced to retreat.

[[File:Team Galactic HQ anime.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Team Galactic HQ]] in the anime]]
Team Galactic made their biggest push yet in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', when the other two Commanders, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], as well as leader [[Cyrus]] made their debuts. Cyrus appeared to be a rich businessman who was responsible for constructing most of the buildings in the Sinnoh region, while Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were carrying out yet another Team Galactic plot, this time to steal both the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb}} as well as the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}} from the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]]. Ash and Dawn revealed to Cyrus [[DP001|their]] [[DP078|encounters]] with {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, unknowing of his obsession with the {{an|lake guardians}} and the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] of Sinnoh. The Galactic plot was successful, and the two Orbs were stolen, though Cyrus never revealed himself to be behind it all. It was also revealed that some of Veilstone's meteorites had been sent to the [[Fuego Ironworks]] as part of the [[Red Chain]] project.

In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', yet another plot was carried out by the group. Mars led a group of grunts to [[Iron Island]], where a shrine to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} was located. Using it and the Spear Key, an electromagnetic beam that disturbed the {{t|Steel}} types that inhabit the island was blasted at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Ash and his friends, as well as [[Riley]], his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}, and {{an|Barry}}, were able to destroy the machine that Mars was using, though Team Galactic's scan of Mt. Coronet remained at 60%. [[Charon]] also debuted in the latter of the two episodes; however, it was only in a cameo, and he did not have a speaking role.

In ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks!]]'', they were apparently behind disrupting the alignment of railroad tracks leading to [[Lake Acuity]]; this caused a slight delay in the trip {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were taking to the lake, as well as raising [[Looker]]'s suspicions.

Team Galactic made another appearance in ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', where they searched inside of [[Mt. Coronet]]'s caves for ruins that would lead them to the [[Spear Pillar]]. [[Saturn]] and [[Charon]] led this venture, and Looker also became involved. Charon and Saturn were forced to leave empty-handed, as the ruins they had found were not the ones leading to the Spear Pillar.

[[File:Lake Guardians Cyrus Commanders.png|thumb|220px|Team Galactic controlling the lake guardians]]
Team Galactic's plans finally came to a head in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', where Jupiter and Charon completed the Red Chain that would be instrumental in taking control of Dialga and Palkia. [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] was then hired by Cyrus to capture the {{an|lake guardians}}, and although she was successful in handing them over to Team Galactic, her ship was destroyed by {{m|Future Sight}} immediately after, leaving her fate unknown.

Now with the power of the lake guardians and the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs, Cyrus, Saturn, Mars, and Charon entered the [[Spear Pillar]], with Cyrus finally realizing his dream, taking control of Dialga and Palkia with the Red Chain. With Jupiter staying behind as a guard, Ash, Dawn, Brock, Cynthia, and Looker easily caught up to the group, arresting her and advancing into the Spear Pillar themselves.

Dialga and Palkia's power opened a portal to another world, which would expand outward and consume the old one. Cyrus then revealed to Saturn and Mars that he had no intention of bringing them with him to this new world. After Dialga and Palkia were freed, the portal began to close and a desperate Cyrus jumped into the portal and never was seen again. Just in time, Ash, Dawn, and Brock helped the lake guardians to calm the two Legendary dragons and save [[Sinnoh]], while Mars and Saturn were arrested by Looker and Charon nowhere to be found. With the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs recovered, three of the Commanders arrested, Charon gone, and Cyrus missing, Team Galactic was finished and their plans to destroy Sinnoh were finally brought to an end.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Galactic Grunts PG.png|thumb|200px|Team Galactic in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Team Galactic appeared in ''[[PG11|The New World]]''. In the episode, [[Cyrus]] summoned {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} at [[Spear Pillar]] while accompanied by [[Jupiter]] and [[Mars]], as [[Saturn]] watched with many Grunts at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. As Cyrus summoned Dialga and Palkia, {{p|Giratina}} suddenly appeared, freed the other two Legendaries, and took Cyrus with it to the [[Distortion World]]. Intrigued by the Distortion World, Cyrus decided to stay there and advised Saturn to not go looking for him, to which Saturn stated that he understood.

In ''[[PG12|The Magma Stone]]'', it was revealed that after Cyrus's disappearance, there was only a small faction of Team Galactic left, led by [[Charon]]. This group was hunted down by [[Looker]] as they awoke {{p|Heatran}} at [[Stark Mountain]]. Although Heatran was eventually stopped with the help of [[Buck]], Charon managed to escape with two Grunts.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The team is first pointed at during {{chap|Emerald}} where [[Archie]] reveals that [[Sird|a mysterious woman]] from Team Galactic gave him and [[Maxie]] the [[Guile Hideout|armor and the sword]].

During {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} Team Galactic appears many times, appearing as the main villains for the chapter. Like in the games, the team's goal is to help their leader, Cyrus, to create the universe anew. They were first seen in ''[[PS344|Belligerent Bronzor]]'', where [[Mars]] invaded [[Valley Windworks]]. After some time the theme was seen helding [[Rad Rickshaw]] as hostage because of his two Clefairy, Cliff and Cliffette, and his knowledge about Dialga and Palkia. Later, [[Saturn]] sent [[Paka and Uji]] into [[Distortion World|an another universe]]. The team was to awaken and capture the [[Lake guardians]] in order to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} so they crafted a [[Galactic Bomb|bomb]] and detonated it over [[Lake Valor|one of the lakes]] of the Sinnoh region in order to achieve this. When the [[Red Chain]]s, the tools for summoning the legends were complete, the team set of to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]], where Cyrus managed to summon Dialga and Palkia. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} stopped them, but the team's leader was taken into Distortion World by {{p|Giratina}}.

In {{chap|Platinum}}, most of the members of Team Galactic are searching for their leader who disappeared into Distortion World at the end of the previous chapter. One of the commanders, [[Charon]], attempts to gather all the known Sinnoh legendaries so he can come into ultimate power. He gains access to the Distortion World to capture Giratina, Dialga and Palkia. The other three commanders follow him there and are tricked into fighting with him. A reformed Cyrus appears in the Distortion World and helps the protagonists defeat Giratina. After Charon is defeated, everyone emerges from the Distortion World having calmed Giratina. Cyrus announces that he is disbanding Team Galactic and departs, taking Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with him. Charon is arrested by [[Looker]].

==In the TCG==
Team Galactic are featured across several expansions in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Initially only featured on a few {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, Team Galactic were more prominent in the Platinum Series, which introduced {{TCG|Pokémon G|Pokémon}} {{SP|G}} belonging to team members and supporting cards in the form of various inventions. Cards that mention or belong to specific members can be found on their individual pages.

'''Forrest''' (Japanese: '''ジロウ''' ''Jirō'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} specialist. He is the brother of {{an|Brock}} and {{Brocksib|eight other children}} and is the son of {{ka|Flint}} and [[Lola]]. He is the second oldest child in the family.

He is currently the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym]], and gives out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to challengers who defeat him.

==History==
Years ago, Forrest's father, Flint, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}} and never returned. His mother, Lola, soon followed. This left his eldest brother, Brock, in charge of the family. Brock took care of them for many years, running the Pewter City Gym at the same time, although in truth, Brock wanted to travel and become a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}. Eventually, Flint returned, allowing Brock to leave on a journey with a Trainer he had recently met, {{Ash}}.

Flint ran the Gym in Brock's absence, but was ousted from the position when Lola returned home. Lola usurped the title of Gym Leader from Flint and turned the Gym into a {{type|Water}} Pokémon Gym, something that angered Forrest, who was dedicated to Rock types.

Brock returned home and was shocked to find what happened. Forrest and Brock commiserated with each other over the sad state the Gym had fallen into. Brock defeated Lola in a {{pkmn|battle}}, and convinced her to restore the Gym to its former state. In the process, he lent Forrest most of his Pokémon and passed the title of Gym Leader onto him.

When Brock returned from [[Sinnoh]], Forrest was with a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[PIA]], but she demanded to see the true Gym Leader, Brock. Brock battled the Nurse Joy and Forrest acted as [[Battle judge|referee]]. Brock lost and Nurse Joy was forced to close the Gym, but she gave them one more chance. If Forrest battled her and he won, she would not shut down the Gym. He was surprised when Nurse Joy called upon her {{p|Latias}}, a [[legendary Pokémon]]. Forrest put up a tough fight with his {{p|Rhyperior}}, but both ended up losing to Latias. Still, Nurse Joy was impressed by his skill and decided to name him as the official Gym Leader of Pewter City.

Forrest and the rest of his and Brock's siblings made a reappearance in a fantasy during the [[Poké Problem]] segment of [[SM042]], where Brock mentioned how Forrest was still in charge of the Gym while he was doing his Pokémon Doctor studies elsewhere.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Forrest's known Pokémon in the [[Pokémon anime]].

|desc={{p|Rhyperior}} is currently the only known Pokémon of Forrest that he did not borrow from {{an|Brock}}. He used it in a battle against [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Latias}} that, if he had lost, would have caused the Pewter Gym to be shut down. Rhyperior did a lot of damage to Latias with its {{m|Megahorn}}, but Latias used {{m|Recover}} and then fired an {{m|Ice Beam}} at Rhyperior. Rhyperior continued to use Megahorn, but Latias used multiple {{m|Steel Wing}} attacks and an Ice Beam until Rhyperior finally fainted.

Rhyperior became {{status|frozen}} by Latias's Ice Beam but Brock was able to help it recover. Nurse Joy was impressed by Forrest's skill, and as a result the Pewter Gym was not closed.

Rhyperior's known moves are {{m|Megahorn}}, {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Dig}}.}}

==Trivia==
*In the English dub only, Forrest seems to have the same interest in girls as his older brother Brock does.
*It is implied in ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'' that Forrest alongside his other siblings and possibly even Brock himself may not have been sired by Flint, as it mentioned that Lola, prior to ultimately abandoning her family, had "married again and again and had dozens of kids" in a desperate attempt to keep Pewter Gym (due to her various husbands fleeing when they were losing due to the strict regulations of running a gym).

Honey

2018-05-14T14:53:05Z

FlitPix: /* As a held item */ Update for USUM

{{samename|island in the [[Decolore Islands]]|Honey Island}}
----
{{incomplete|needs=Missing USUM info; consider fixing article to current item template}}
'''Honey''' (Japanese: '''あまいミツ''' ''Sweet Honey'') is an item that was introduced in [[Generation IV]]. This item can be used on special, golden-colored trees in [[Sinnoh]] to attract Pokémon—most of which can only be found in the wild in those games by use of these trees.

==In the games==
[[File:Bag Honey Sprite.png|frame|left]]
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 Honey tree DP.png|thumb|One of the trees to which Honey may be applied.]]

===Effect===
When used in [[tall grass]], Honey acts in a manner similar to the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}, starting a [[wild Pokémon]] battle. In [[Generation VI]], this will trigger a [[Horde Encounter]] if they are present in the area; however, in {{g|X and Y}}, it cannot cause a wild encounter if the overworld [[weather]] is not clear.

In [[Sinnoh]], Honey can be slathered on [[#Honey trees|trees]] in order to attract Pokémon.

===Locations===
====[[Generation IV]]====
In {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Honey is first obtained after the player saves a Honey-selling man from [[Team Galactic]] in [[Floaroma Meadow]], near [[Floaroma Town]]. He will reward the player with some of his Honey. From then onwards, the {{player}} will be able to purchase Honey from him in Floaroma Meadow for {{PDollar}}100 each.

Multiple units of Honey (two in Diamond and Pearl, six in Platinum) are hidden in Floaroma Meadow and may be found using the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} Pokétch app. In Platinum, after the initial six hidden Honeys are found, two will regenerate in the same locations each day thereafter.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/946308/56280 Liquefy's Hidden Items Guide for Platinum]</ref>

There are many units of Honey scattered throughout the region, from {{rt|205|Sinnoh}} to {{rt|222|Sinnoh}}. These include two hidden units of Honey, one in a yellow crate in the kitchen of the [[Old Chateau]] and another on a solitary gravestone on floor 2F of the [[Lost Tower]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Honey can be found on the {{pw|Big Forest}}, {{pw|Resort}}, and {{pw|Sightseeing}} [[Pokéwalker]] routes.

====[[Generation V]]====
In {{v2|White}}, the player can receive a jar of Honey from {{tc|Gentleman}} Frederic once a day, as long as he is present in [[White Forest]].

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Honey can be purchased at [[Join Avenue]] {{DL|Join Avenue|Market}}s.

Honey was also an item that could be found in the {{dwa|Dream Park}}, but the {{pkmn|Dream World}} service has been discontinued as of January 14, 2014.

====[[Generation VI]]====
In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the player can find [[Item#Recurring items|respawning]] jars of Honey on [[Route]]s {{rtn|12|Kalos}}, {{rtn|18|Kalos}}, and at [[Pokémon Village]]. They can also find three jars on on Route {{rtn|4|Kalos}}, and will receive three more from [[Trevor]] on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when he teaches the player about Horde Encounters.

In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player may obtain a jar of Honey once a day from a {{tc|Bug Maniac}} in [[Fallarbor Town]]'s [[Pokémon Center]].

====[[Generation VII]]====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Honey can be purchased at all [[Pokémon Center]]s after clearing three trials, and in the [[Festival Plaza]] for 10 FCs. A Honey can also be found in [[Poni Meadow]].

====As a [[held item]]====
Honey is always held by {{wild|Combee}} in [[Generation IV]] and {{2v2|Black|White}}, and is rarely (5% chance) held by {{wild|Combee}} from {{2v2|Black|White|2}} onwards, {{wild|Surskit}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onwards, and {{wild|Cutiefly}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} onwards.

In addition, Pokémon with the [[ability]] {{a|Honey Gather}} have a chance to pick up a jar of Honey after battle. The higher the Pokémon's [[level]] is, the better its chances are.

===Honey trees===
Once Honey is slathered on a Honey tree and at least 6 real-time hours have passed, a Pokémon may appear on the tree. If a tree is left unchecked for 24 hours, both the Honey and any Pokémon will be gone. Changing the [[Nintendo DS]]'s clock will have no impact on the Honey tree's timer.

There are 21 Honey trees spread throughout Sinnoh. Four of them have a chance to attract {{p|Munchlax}}; these trees are selected when the game begins, based on the player's [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]]. The special Munchlax trees are visually indistinguishable from normal trees and cannot be changed short of starting a new game. In general, Munchlax trees are more likely to contain rarer wild Pokémon species, most notably Munchlax itself.

The species of Pokémon (or whether one will appear at all) is determined at the time a tree is slathered. Therefore, once a tree is slathered, saving the game and resetting will not change the Pokémon that will appear on it. However, its [[level]], [[gender]], [[Nature]], [[individual values|IVs]], and other random values may change.

====Munchlax trees====
Which four Honey trees can contain Munchlax depends on the player's [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and {{DL|Trainer ID number|secret ID}}<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-34#post-3986326 Past Gen RNG Research | Page 34 | Smogon Forums]</ref> (referred to herein as ''tid'' and ''sid''). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. ''tid''1 and ''sid''1 will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by <code>''id'' % 256</code>), while ''tid''2 and ''sid''2 will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <code>''id'' / 256</code>).

The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:
:<code>''A'' = ''sid''1 [[wp:modulo operation|%]] 21</code>
:<code>''B'' = ''sid''2 % 21</code>
:<code>''C'' = ''tid''1 % 21</code>
:<code>''D'' = ''tid''2 % 21</code>

The game checks if any of these are equal. If ''A'' is equal to ''B'', ''B'' is increased by 1. The game then checks ''A'' against ''C'', followed by ''B'' against ''C'', adding 1 to ''C'' if it is equal after either check. Then the game checks ''A'' against ''D'', followed by ''B'' against ''D'', and then ''C'' against ''D'', and adds 1 to ''D'' if it is equal after any of the checks. If at any point any of ''B'', ''C'', or ''D'' would equal 21, they are set to 0 instead.

The final values of ''A'', ''B'', ''C'', and ''D'' represent the locations of the Munchlax trees. The number can be treated as a 0-based index into the list of Honey tree locations above. That is, if ''A'' = 10, that means the Honey tree on Route 212 south can contain Munchlax.

====Pokémon groups====
When the game generates a species of wild Pokémon to appear on a Honey tree, it first chooses from one of three possible "groups" of Pokémon before choosing a Pokémon from within that group. These groups are shown in the table below. The 17 non-Munchlax trees have a 70% chance of choosing from Group A, a 20% chance of choosing from Group B, a 0% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 10% chance of choosing no encounter. The four Munchlax trees have a 20% chance of choosing from Group A, a 70% chance of choosing from Group B, a 1% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 9% chance of choosing no encounter.

|}

When Honey is slathered on a tree, if that tree is also the last tree that was slathered, there is a 90% chance that the game will pick the same group as it did the last time. If the tree's last slathering did not produce any Pokémon, it will be treated{{fact}} as if the tree had selected Group A.

====Shaking====
Very roughly speaking, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is a rare Pokémon will appear. The number of times a tree shakes is randomly decided depending on the group that was selected for the tree.

So, based on the number of times a tree shakes, a Pokémon from the different groups will have the following chance to appear.

For Munchlax trees:

====Pokémon====
If the tree being slathered was also the last tree slathered (and the tree is empty), there is a 90% chance that the tree will attract a Pokémon from the same group that was used before. This will render the rates below inaccurate. See [[#Pokémon groups|above]] for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

===Oddities===
Using Honey (or Sweet Scent) inside a shop or [[Poké Mart]] will cause the descriptive text of purchasable items to vanish until the player leaves the shop. This is known as the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Honey shop glitch}} and only occurs in Diamond and Pearl.

==In the anime==
[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|thumb|250px|Barry slathering Honey on a tree]]
In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', Honey was slathered on a tree, attracting several wild {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon as well Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and a wild {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}}. The Honey appeared to have been slathered by [[Cheryl]], who wanted to catch a male Burmy to help her find the Enchanted Honey. Cheryl later explained to the group that Enchanted Honey was Honey gathered by {{p|Combee}} in the [[Amber Castle]], located deep in [[Eterna Forest]], which is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. With the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and with her {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}} leading the way, she located the hive of a {{p|Vespiquen}} and its many worker Combee. After helping defend the hive from {{TRT}}, the Vespiquen shared some of its Enchanted Honey with Cheryl, Ash, his friends, and some of their Pokémon. All of them loved the Enchanted Honey, except for [[Brock's Croagunk]], who looked disgusted by the sweet flavor.

Some Honey was shown again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', used by {{TRT}} in an attempt to catch [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]]'s {{p|Vespiquen}}. It instead attracted a {{p|Munchlax}}, much like in the games.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Honey was planted on a tree by a young boy named [[Nathaniel]], which attracted a {{p|Heracross}}.

In a flashback in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Barry}} used Honey to attract a Heracross, which he then caught.

In ''[[SM039|Mallow and the Forest Teacher!]]'', {{an|Bewear}} gave a wild {{p|Oranguru}} some Honey in exchange for some {{DL|Pokémon Center Café|Drink|Pinap Juice}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS343|Honey for Combee]]'', as {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} ventured into [[Floaroma Town]], Diamond and his Pokémon smelt Honey and ran off to lick it off a tree. Later, the trio ventured into the [[Valley Windworks]] where they met [[Mars]]. She filled the Windworks control room with sand in order to do away with them. Pearl and Platinum ended up outside the building and were able to uncover Diamond's location inside the building and save him thanks to a group of {{p|Combee}} being attracted by the scent of Honey on Diamond and his Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In ''[[DPA05|Find Munchlax!!]]'', a {{tc|Collector}} uses Honey to lure out a {{p|Munchlax}}. The Honey instead ends up being eaten away by [[Hareta]].

==In the TCG==
Honey is held by [[Combee (Stormfront 57)]].

==Trivia==
* Honey may originally have been planned for [[Generation II]], where unused text refers to an item called '''Sweet Honey''' (Japanese: '''あまいミツ''' ''Sweet Honey''), which could be used to attract Pokémon by slathering it on a tree and waiting about a day, nearly identical to its behavior in Generation IV.
** In ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', some trees of the forest produces a sweet sap that tastes like honey. It also attracts wild Pokémon like {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and even [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]].
**In ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You're Snorlax!]]'', [[Red (Adventures)|Red]] uses [[Beedrill]] honey that had fallen on his [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to wake up a sleeping [[Snor|Snorlax]]. As a result, the awoken Snorlax chases after Red for the honey all the way to the finish line; the sight shocking the announcer and onlookers.

{{samename|TCG expansion released to commemorate the {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}}|Generations (TCG)}}
{{samename|animated miniseries|Pokémon Generations}}
A '''generation''' is a grouping of the [[Pokémon games]] that separates them based on the Pokémon they include. In each generation, a new set of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[move]]s, and {{Abilities}} that did not exist in the previous generation are released.

While generations are not usually discussed officially, they are occasionally. [[Junichi Masuda]] has [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201301 referred to] the sixth generation on his blog. {{game|Black and White|s}} were [https://web.archive.org/web/20100603050241/http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/vg_blackwhite_announce-2010-05-28/ referred to] as a "new generation of Pokémon", and [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] are [http://pokemon.gamespress.com/release.asp?i=1942&lang=en&region=United+Kingdom referred to] as the "newest generation" in press releases.

Generational lines are typically ignored in other parts of the franchise, which continue from where the last generation left off and keep the story going (this is especially true of the {{pkmn|anime}}), and may ignore older parts of the canon that explicitly declare to be true something that is later changed.

To date, there are seven generations, each introducing their own quirks into the franchise. The [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games are compatible with one another via the [[Time Capsule]] but not with later games; the five most recent generations are also compatible with each other (forward only) via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Pal Park]], [[Poké Transfer]], and [[Poké Transporter]], but not with the Generation I and II games, with the exception of the Generation I and II [[Virtual Console]] releases, which are compatible with [[Generation VII]].

Game Link Cable

{{Move|Game Link cable}}
{{Incomplete|needs=Pictures of official Game Link Cables for the GB, GBP, and GBC.}}
[[File:Game Boy Game Link cable.png|thumb|Two [[Game Boy]]s connected with a Game Link cable]]
A '''Game Link cable''' (Japanese: '''{{j|通信ケーブル}}''' ''link cable'') is a cable used to transfer data between two [[Nintendo]] consoles, such as the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]. They can also connect Game Boy consoles with other devices, including the [[Game Boy Camera]] and [[Game Boy Printer]].

The Game Link cable was part of [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s original concept for the [[Core series|Pokémon games]]. He said early on that he imagined his creatures crawling through the cable from one game to another. With technological developments, including wireless technology, Game Link cables have become obsolete on newer consoles.

==Models==
There are several types of Game Link cables, depending upon the model of Game Boy used. For instance, the original Game Boy Game Link cable had much larger ends than that of the [[Game Boy Pocket]]/Game Boy Color. Also, a Game Boy Color Game Link cable is not compatible with its Game Boy Advance equivalent.

The [[Game Boy micro]] uses another sized cable, so there has been some incompatibility among the different models over the years. Ideally, each player should have the same Game Boy model to prevent this issue. The Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP use the same Game Link cable. A Game Boy Color Game Link cable may be used with a Game Boy Advance, but it can only link Game Boy Color games, as Game Boy Advance games require more bandwidth.

===Pokémon special editions===
A special [[Game Boy Color]] Game Link cable was released with a box decorated with Pokémon; however, the cable itself was exactly the same as a regular cable.

A yellow Game Link cable featuring a {{p|Pikachu}} on each connector has also been released.

In the first two generations, the Game Link cable's two main functions were established: inter-player {{pkmn|battle}}s and the [[trade|trading]] of Pokémon. These exchanges took place in the [[Cable Club]], which is included in every [[Pokémon Center]]. Up to two players can link together.

Although more link opportunities were incorporated into the [[Generation III]] games, Game Link cables had limited use. The cable remained the sole means of communication for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but the advent of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} introduced wireless technology. The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] that was shipped with copies of these games plugs into the same socket as the Game Link cable, but allows for less cumbersome interactions. Up to four players can link together with the Game Boy Advance Game Link cable. In addition, the [[GameCube]]-[[Game Boy Advance]] Game Link cable allowed communication with [[Pokemon Colosseum]] and [[Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness]] for battling and trading, as well as with [[Pokemon Box Ruby and Sapphire]] for storage. Pokemon Box Ruby and Sapphire also came included with this cable.

The consoles for later generations, the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], have built-in wireless technology, and do not support any cables. As such, Game Link cables have become redundant.

===In spin-off games===
The trading and battling component of spin-off games is not as prevalent as it is in the core series. In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], the Game Link cable is required for players to battle each other head-to-head. Players may also transfer cards and deck configurations by using the [[Game Boy Color]]'s [[infrared]] port.

==References to the Game Link cable in the Pokémon games==
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], there is an [[Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items#Link Cable|item with this name]] that is used to evolve Pokémon that would normally require a trade to evolve.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], during the [[Delta Episode]] the scientists at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] intend to use a device called the Link Cable to direct the destination of the wormhole they intend to open to take the meteor off of collision course with the planet.

}}
The Johto '''Safari Zone''' (Japanese: '''サファリゾーン''' ''Safari Zone'') is a special Pokémon preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can capture certain types of Pokémon. The Johto Safari Zone made its debut appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where it was shown to be located northwest of {{ci|Cianwood}}. It is located at the [[Safari Zone Gate]], a bazaar that sprung up due to the Safari Zone's popularity. It is owned by [[Baoba]], the owner of the former [[Kanto Safari Zone]], which was, by then, made into a [[Pal Park]] by his son.

For {{PDollar}}500, the player will receive 30 Safari Balls. Akin to previous Safari Zones, there is a large area to cover, but the six areas of the Zone can uniquely be rearranged to suit the player. Also, there is no time or step limit to how long the player can try to catch Pokémon. The only ways to leave are to retire, to walk back through the entrance or to run out of Safari Balls.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it; catching Pokémon here, as in most Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, run away, and throw Mud. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch, while throwing Mud does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

Access to the Safari Zone is part of the storyline. When a player first arrives at [[Olivine City]], the Gym is empty. The player must heal the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]'s sick {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]], to cause the Gym Leader to return to the Gym. Only then will Baoba phone the player and announce that the Safari Zone is open for business. Players can then traverse [[Route]]s {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} to get to the Safari Zone whenever they wish.

==Details==
This Safari Zone works identically to the [[Great Marsh]]: Pokémon are made easier or harder to catch by modifying the [[catch rate]] of a Pokémon. Each Pokémon appearing in the Safari Zone also has an escape rate, representing the probability that they flee from battle; a Pokémon's escape rate is identical across all [[Generation IV]] games (however, their escape rates are not defined in games which they cannot be found in their Great Marsh or Safari Zone). As a rule of thumb, Pokémon at higher evolutionary levels generally have lower escape rates.

At the start of an encounter, both the catch rate and escape rate are set to their species defaults. When Bait is thrown, it lowers the escape rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of also lowering the catch rate by one stage. When Mud is thrown, it raises the catch rate by one stage, but has a 90% chance of raising the escape rate by one stage. Stages for catch rates and escape rates work identically to [[Stats|stat stages]]: they can be raised as high as +6 and as low as -6, where 0 is the starting stage; multipliers at each stat stage also work identically.

At the end of each turn, a random number between 0 and 255 is generated. If it is less than the modified stat stage, the Pokémon escapes.

==Areas==
[[File:Safari_Zone_Customization.png|thumb|200px|right|The six areas of the Safari Zone]]
Like the {{safari|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]] and [[Great Marsh]] in [[Sinnoh]], the Johto Safari Zone has six areas, which are inhabited by different Pokémon. A feature unique to this Safari Zone, however, is the customization of these areas. Each of the six areas may be placed in any arrangement the player desires. This is a useful function, as it means the player does not have to traverse to the furthest area from the entrance to get the Pokémon living in it. This is taken even further due to the fact that there are 10 unique defaults from the moment the Safari Zone is unlocked.

Customization happens on the [[Nintendo DS]] touch screen. By dragging and sliding the tiles with the stylus, the player can move them with ease. The exits to each area are arranged so that every conceivable arrangement of areas is possible: up to 2,985,984. In each specific area, the player can choose from several different objects and put up to 30 into the area, which can potentially draw out rarer Pokémon, Pokémon not found in the area, or Pokémon not found in the zone any other way. The specific layout of the Safari Zone may be shared by multiple players at one time, like other events in [[Generation IV]], through [[record mixing]] or by using the Safari Zone Link.

===Default area layouts===
There are ten possible layouts that the areas can be arranged in by default when the {{player}} first reaches the Safari Zone. Between the ten default layouts, all of the areas are utilized at least once with the exceptions of the Desert and Rocky Beach areas; each default arrangement positions the Peak area right in front of the entrance. Six more areas can be added once [[Baoba]]'s second challenge is assigned to the player.

==Challenges==
===First Challenge===
When the player first visits the Safari Zone, its owner, [[Baoba]], will give the player their first challenge of finding and catching a {{p|Geodude}} inside of the Safari Zone. No matter which of the 10 possible default Safari Zone area set-ups is in use, the Peak Area where {{p|Geodude}} can be found is always the first area that the player enters.

===Second Challenge===
Three game-play hours after completion of the first challenge, [[Baoba]] will call the player and give them their second challenge. The point of this challenge is to get the player to use the Area Customizer, a machine that allows the player to move around and order the different areas of the Safari Zone. Using the Area Customizer to add the Desert Area, the player must catch a {{p|Sandshrew}}.

==Blocks==
After the player has both received the [[National Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] and completed [[Baoba]]'s second challenge, Baoba will eventually call the player to tell him or her, that he has come up with a new idea for the Safari Zone. After receiving this call, the player will then be able to place one block at a time of any of 5 categories of blocks inside of the Safari Zone, up to 30 blocks in one area at a time. Baoba will continue to call the player another three times after this giving the player 6 new blocks each time. There are 24 blocks in total, three of which are favored by Pokémon that live in grasslands, three which are favored by Pokémon that live in forests, three which are favored by Pokémon that live in rocky areas, three which are favored by Pokémon that live by the water and twelve others. Blocks that are favored by certain Pokémon can be used to draw out Pokémon that are not normally found in each area.

===Block upgrades===
Each area of the Safari Zone keeps a hidden count of how many days it has been used. Every ten days of use, a certain block type will be upgraded just for that area, and Baoba will call to notify the player of this. Once a block for a certain area is upgraded, the upgrade will not disappear if the player moves the area or takes away the blocks. When blocks are upgraded, they increase effectiveness. For example, a Plains block with no upgrades would count as one Plains block, but a Plains block with one upgrade would count as two Plains blocks. So, after 20 days of use, a particular zone's Plains and Forest blocks would each be worth 2, while the Peak and Waterside blocks would still be worth 1.

==Pokémon==
The Pokémon found below are often impacted by the objects placed in the area. For example, Fearow will not appear in the Peak area unless there are five Forest objects placed in the Peak area. Spheal will not appear in the Peak area until the Peak Waterside objects have been upgraded, because it requires 35 Waterside objects, and each area can only contain 30 objects of each kind to start with. Also, Pokémon can need two types of objects. For example, Vigoroth needs Plains and Forest objects.

In all zones, there are 10 encounter slots which give to the Pokémon present a 10% chance to appear. All the Pokémon that appear due to blocks have a 10% chance to appear; however, some Pokémon can be in two slots, which gives them a 20% chance to appear.

==In the manga==
[[File:Johto Safari Zone Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Safari Zone in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', {{adv|Silver}} ventured to the newly opened Safari Zone after hearing about it from [[Clair]]. There he participated in a Safari Game, during which he was attacked by an {{p|Arbok}} and he countered its attack. In the midst of battle, [[Eusine]] stopped him and lectured him about the rules of the Safari Zone, which prohibit attacking the wild Pokémon. Silver, who just found out about [[Plate|Plates]], showed Eusine a Plate but did not get any reaction out of him other than confusion. His actions were, however, seen by [[Petrel]] who attacked him and Eusine. During the following battle, Petrel revealed information about the Plates and that he defeated [[Lance]]. The battle ended as Petrel left. Some time after, Silver encountered {{adv|Crystal}}, who was on a field trip with the children from [[Pokémon academy]], and they decided to travel to [[Ecruteak City]] together.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Johto did not have a Safari Zone in [[Generation II]]. However, an [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta#Safari Zone|unused and incomplete]] map of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]] still exists in the code of the Generation II games.
* The number of Pokémon species that can be acquired in this Safari Zone is by far the largest quantity in the main series to date, and includes several species that were never before available in the wild, most notably {{p|Shelgon}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Breloom}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, and {{p|Riolu}}.
* This is the only Safari Zone which the player can customize.
* This is the first Safari Zone in which there is no step limit. The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} also does not have a step limit.
* The two construction workers outside of the Safari Zone, in the [[Safari Zone Gate]], imply that they are the ones who move the Safari Zone areas; they mention that most people would think a complicated system would be in place, as well as complaining about aches and pains.
* Should the player use a [[cheating|wallhack]] to walk through the Safari Zone Gate without going through reception first, the Safari Zone will be 6 plain squares and the only Pokémon that will show up is a level 20 {{p|Rattata}}. However, the battle will go as it would anywhere else, instead of bringing up the Safari Zone's catching interface.

Voltorb Flip

2018-04-11T13:48:33Z

FlitPix: /* Replacement */ Anchor fix

[[File:Voltorb Flip.png|thumb|160px|right|The game]]
'''{{p|Voltorb}} Flip''' is a minigame of the [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Goldenrod]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]]s in the Korean and Western releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It replaces the traditional [[slot machine]]s found in the Japanese versions and bears similarities to [[card flip]], a Game Corner minigame exclusive to {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

Among Japanese fans, it is known as '''ビリリダマめくり''' ''{{p|Voltorb|Biriridama}} Flip''.

==Mechanics==
===Gameplay===
[[File:Voltorb Flip LVL 8.png|thumb|160px|right|A High Payout in Level 8]]
Voltorb Flip was described in a pre-release review as "a cross between {{wp|Nonogram|Picross}} and {{wp|Minesweeper (video game)|Minesweeper}}".<ref name="Officialnintendomagazine">[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=14990 Pre-release review from Official Nintendo Magazine]</ref> It features a five-by-five grid of tiles, underneath of which are hidden numbers (multiplier cards which affect the player's coins) and {{p|Voltorb}} (which {{m|Selfdestruct}}).

Flipping a multiplier card will give the player that many coins on the first card, or multiply the total by the number flipped for all subsequent flips. Higher levels have more multiplier cards, therefore producing larger payouts. Flipping a Voltorb will cause the player to lose all coins earned during the current string of multipliers. Flipping a Voltorb also ends the game and drops the player down to the level equal to the number of multiplier cards flipped before flipping the Voltorb (flipping either 0 or 1 will cause the player to regress to level 1). At any time, the player can Quit instead of flipping more cards to end the game and permanently keep earned coins (though the level drop down rule still applies); doing so counts as a loss in terms of the next round. The player wins and advances one level by finding all of the ×2 and ×3 multiplier cards. Winning or Quitting, as before, will earn the player [[Coin]]s, which can be traded for prizes. The only way to advance to higher levels is to win the round; level 8 is achieved by winning five games in a row of any level. Exiting the game will reset the player to level 1.

There is also a "Memo" mode where the player can set symbols with the Voltorb and the numbers 1 to 3 on every field which has not yet been flipped up in the current game. This can be used to indicate whether, for example, the player thinks a given tile can contain a 2× or 3× multiplier or only a Voltorb or a 1× multiplier.

Once the player earns the maximum of 50,000 coins, he or she will be exited from the game and will be unable to play further until spending some coins.

In each level, a certain amount of coins can be obtained. The higher the level, the more coins that can be obtained. Assuming the player does not quit, the interval is as follows:
*Level 1: 24-48 coins
*Level 2: 54-96 coins
*Level 3: 108-192 coins
*Level 4: 216-324 coins
*Level 5: 384-576 coins
*Level 6-8: 648+ coins

===Strategy===
Voltorb Flip is luck-based in the fact that the placement of the ×1, ×2, ×3, and Voltorb cards are random. However, a strategy can be used since the game is grid-based and the player can see ''how many Voltorb'' and ''the sum of the multiplier cards'' are in each row and column along the bottom and right side.

If the total Voltorb in a row or column is 0, all cards in that row or column are "safe" to flip over. If a row or column meets a certain requirement (shown below), all cards left unturned in that row are either ×1 or Voltorb, and can be left unturned to complete the game. This is considered a "dead" row or column, the player should make sure to mark them so as to not forget and flip. If there is a row of only Voltorb, or all multiplier cards have been flipped, then the column contains only multiplier cards, or vice versa.

Rows or Columns with the combination of 4/1, 3/2, 2/3, 1/4 or 0/5 can be automatically eliminated as there can only be a 1 or a Voltorb in them.

===Dead row/column formula===
Given:
* ''a'' = Total Voltorb in a row or column
* ''b'' = Sum of Multiplier Cards for a row or column
* ''c'' = Number of ×2 cards flipped
* ''d'' = Number of ×3 cards flipped
If '''''a'' + ''b'' - 5 > ''c'' + 2''d''''', then the row is not yet "dead" - there is still at least one ×2 and/or ×3 card left to flip.

A second formula also may help to find dead rows and columns:
Given:
* ''a'' = Total Voltorb in a row or column
* ''b'' = Sum of Multiplier Cards for a row or column
* ''c'' = Number of Unflipped Cards in a row or column
* ''d'' = Sum of Flipped Cards in a row or column
If '''''c'' - ''a'' < ''b'' - ''d''''', then the row is not yet "dead".

A simpler calculation is also possible:
Given:
* ''a'' = Total Voltorb in a row or column + Sum of multipliers in the same row or column
Subtract the multiplier of a card by 1 and then subtract the result from the a of the row or column; do this with all the cards from that row or column cumulatively, until the result is 5.

==Replacement==
The replacement of [[slot machine]]s with Voltorb Flip was likely due to stricter PEGI guidelines which required that any game deemed to "encourage or teach gambling" be classified '''18''', which had previously caused the replacement of slot machines with [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]] in European versions of {{game|Platinum}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref> Furthermore, countries outside of Japan have developed an increasing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors since the release of ''Pokémon Gold and Silver'', with these changing social values being the cause of PEGI's guideline revisions in the first place. The increasingly controversial nature of gambling in video games is the most likely cause of the Slot Machines' removal in all international releases of ''HeartGold and SoulSilver'', including those outside of PAL territories.

The Voltorb Flip game is likely included to provide a fun alternative to the slot machines. The initial reviews of the game were positive, with the [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] stating the game is "awesome".<ref name="Officialnintendomagazine"/>

Voltorb Flip also does not require money to be played, with the player only losing the [[coin]]s he or she collected from the game.

==Trivia==
* This game seems to be similar to the cancelled game [[Pokémon Picross (Game Boy Color)|Pokémon Picross]], which was to be released on the [[Game Boy Color]].
* The Voltorb can be thought of as a dramatic way of saying ×0, as it is round-shaped. The game ends at that point because after multiplying the payout by 0, no other multipliers will ever change the total payout to anything other than 0.

'''The Under''' (Japanese: '''アンダー''' ''Under'') is a subterranean city situated directly beneath [[Pyrite Town]] in southwest [[Orre]]. It can be reached in three ways: via an elevator in the [[Pyrite Bldg]], [[The Under Subway]], or a mine shaft not far to the west of Pyrite. The Under is home to two Colosseums: [[Under Colosseum]] and [[Deep Colosseum]]. The city is mostly pro-[[Cipher]] apart from a few citizens, most notably the anti-Cipher [[Kids Grid]] network. It only appears in [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. It is connected to the [[Cipher Lab|Shadow PKMN Lab]] by The Under Subway.

A chasm in the northern part of Pyrite Town allows sunlight to reach parts of The Under. This same chasm also separates The Under into two halves: the northern half, which is home to both Colosseums, and the southern half, the home of most of the city's commercial establishments. A {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} operated by Disks connects the two halves.

It was originally an artificial town constructed for the convenience of the miners of Pyrite. Instead of having to commute between Pyrite and the mine each day, the workers assigned to dig in the mine would stay in The Under instead. When the mine closed, the miners chose to remain in their adopted home. Now, most of The Under is populated by the descendants of the original mining crew. The original inhabitants that still live in The Under are quite old, but are fond of telling stories of when the mine was in its prime.

Since The Under is a full-fledged city in itself, many of its inhabitants have rarely, and in some cases never have, been to the surface. It is for this reason that the residents tend to be suspicious of those visiting from Pyrite. A fenced-off area in the southeastern portion of The Under serves as the town's makeshift prison; it is in this structure that visitors from the surface are occasionally detained.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], The Under is completely inaccessible because it had been buried due to the incident with Cipher, as villains like Lady Venus could use The Under to hide out. The former residents have since moved to new homes in Pyrite Town and [[Gateon Port]].

==Places of interest==
The Under has a population of 28.

===Deep Colosseum===
{{main|Deep Colosseum}}
As its name indicates, the Deep Colosseum is situated in the depths of the chasm that divides both [[Pyrite Town]] and The Under. It is accessible only by way of a {{key|Orre|D-Disk}}.

===Herb Shop===
{{main|Herb Shop}}
The lone Herb Shop in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] is located to the west of the Under Colosseum on the northern edge of the chasm. Like other Herb Shops in other regions, it sells inexpensive herbal medicine that will lower the [[friendship]] of Pokémon that consume it.

{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Revival Herb|2,800}}|{{shopitem|Heal Powder|450}}}}
{{shopfooter}}

===Junk Shop===
The Junk Shop is located in the south-central portion of The Under, which serves as The Under's commercial district. The shop is little more than a mechanics garage owned by [[Makan|an old man]], who was said to be a brilliant engineer when The Under was in its prime.

===Kids Grid===
{{main|Kids Grid}}
The Kids Grid is a television network that is known for its opposition to [[Cipher]]. Their headquarters are located in the western portion of The Under on the southern edge of the chasm. Not far to the south is the large satellite dish used by the Kids Grid to transmit data.

===Studio===
A television studio is located to the east of the Under Colosseum on the northern edge of the chasm. It was used by [[Venus]] to broadcast her show, "Under Time", until she was defeated by [[Wes]] and [[Rui]]. It is connected to both the Under Colosseum and The Under Subway by a pair of basements.

===The Under Grand Hotel===
The Under Grand Hotel is located in the heart of The Under's commercial district. A one-night stay at the hotel costs {{pdollar}}1,000. Above the hotel is a bar frequented by some of The Under's more seedy members. If the player walks behind the counter and speaks to the clerk, he will not offer a night's stay, fearing that the player plans to rob him.

===The Under Subway===
{{main|The Under Subway}}
The Under Subway is a former mining railroad that was renovated by [[Cipher]] for the purpose of transporting [[Shadow Pokémon]] between The Under and the [[Cipher Lab|Shadow PKMN Lab]]. The tram car that runs along the line is known as the Shadow Liner. An {{key|Orre|R-Disk}} is initially required to access the subway; however, once the door connecting the Under Colosseum to the basement of [[Venus]]'s former studio is unlocked, it is possible to reach the subway without any Disks.

===Under Colosseum===
{{main|Under Colosseum}}
The Under Colosseum is located in the north-central portion of The Under. It has a built-in [[Pokémon Center]] as well as a mine shaft that leads to a point on the surface just northwest of Pyrite Town. This mine shaft can be used to quickly commute from The Under to anywhere in Orre, and vice versa, once it is used from the Under Colosseum side. An {{key|Orre|F-Disk}} is required to access the Colosseum.

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|250px|Artwork featuring the player's starter Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} through {{Gen|IV}}]]
[[File:Unova starters anime.png|thumb|250px| [[Unova]] starter Pokémon, as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Kalos starters XY anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime artwork of the [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''{{tt|最初|さいしょ}}のポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters.

Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

In the [[core series]] games, it is said that the starter Pokémon are extremely rare, giving the player a reason why the Pokémon not chosen can't be found in the wild.

==In the games==
In the core series {{pkmn|games}} ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, typically the one that has a type advantage over the player's.

===Starter Pokémon===
====Core series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary beasts]] will roam the Kanto region after defeating [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]—if the player chooses Bulbasaur, {{p|Entei}} will appear, {{p|Suicune}} will appear to those who chose Charmander, and {{p|Raikou}} will appear to those that went with Squirtle.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by his or her side.

[[Professor Sycamore]] will let the player choose one of these three Pokémon after meeting him in person and beating his team of Kanto starters in {{pkmn|battle}}. After making their choice, Professor Sycamore will give the player a [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to the chosen starter's final evolution; {{DL|Mega Stone|Venusaurite}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite X}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite Y}}{{sup/6|Y}} for {{p|Charmander}}, and {{DL|Mega Stone|Blastoisinite}} for {{p|Squirtle}}. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{game|Yellow}}, due to being based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| style="margin:auto; width:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background:#{{kanto color light}}; {{roundytop|5px}}" | [[File:025Pikachu.png|96px]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{tcolor|Electric|FFF}}
|}

The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. During the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starter Pokémon through special events not present in the earlier games. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a [[Thunder Stone]] unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{OBP|Berry|item}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, after the player has cleared the entirety of [[Mt. Battle]] without touching a [[PC]] or retiring, [[Battlus]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward. The player can obtain all three Pokémon with consecutive challenges.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player first enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]], Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Shroomish}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Johto starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. What happens to the starter not selected is unknown. By the end of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to have [[rematch]]es with the player later. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan or May's role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] is slightly expanded, acting as a post-credits battle in which they gain access to Mega Evolution for their starter Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after he or she has defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Hoenn starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Akala Island]].

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice, and therefore strong against Barry's. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the second time, Professor Birch can be found being chased by his wife on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Sinnoh starters.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Sinnoh starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Ula'ula Island]].

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}} in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to him or her, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the [[Elemental monkeys|Pokémon]] given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}}, and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Bianca takes three starter Pokémon to [[Aspertia City]] on Professor Juniper's behalf and offers one of them to the player. The player's friend, [[Hugh]], will have the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, having raised it from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The player character not chosen will have the starter that is weak to the player's choice, but only seen in its second form.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the [[Delta Episode]] is completed, Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Machoke}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Unova starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Unova starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Kalos]]=====
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their starter Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them.

The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kalos starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Alola]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player receives their starter Pokémon in [[Iki Town]] from [[Hala]] and [[Professor Kukui]]. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player receives one from the Professor on {{rt|1|Alola}}. The player's friend [[Hau]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice.

During the player's Champion{{sup/7|SM}} and Title Defense battles, Professor Kukui will use the final evolution of the starter Pokémon with the type advantage to the player's choice. [[Gladion]]'s {{p|Silvally}} will also be holding the [[memory]] of the type the player's starter is weak to.

====Other notable in-game starters====
* The rival of {{game|Yellow}}, {{ga|Blue}}, starts with an {{p|Eevee}} originally intended for the player. The Eevee will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}} if the player loses against the rival at the lab and either loses or skips the battle on Route 22, {{p|Jolteon}} if the player wins against the rival at both locations, and {{p|Flareon}} if the player wins against the rival once at either location, and loses or skips the other battle.
* [[Wally]], with the help of the player and [[Norman|his or her father]], will catch a {{p|Ralts}}.
* The player character not chosen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}}, will have a {{p|Marill}}.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun]], the [[Pokédex]] identifies the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} as a common choice for a starter Pokémon in its own world.

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the [[Double Battle]] system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (while also starting with maximum [[friendship]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

This starter Pokémon is in the player's possession right at the beginning of the game. It is at level 10 and knows {{m|Bite}}, which Eevee does not normally know at this level without {{pkmn|breeding}}. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items—[[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], [[Fire Stone]], [[Sun and Moon Shards|Moon Shard]], and [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard]]—to allow the Eevee to evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that existed in [[Generation III]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and defeats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Pokétopia]]=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Starter Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|The Sinnoh starter Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a Pokémon Breeder for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However not all starter Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

Several characters have also caught Pokémon in the {{pkmn2|wild}} that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Chikorita and Cyndaquil evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Quilava}} respectively.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} caught a Bulbasaur midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by catching {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn {{pkmn|Egg|hatched}} a {{p|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}.
* Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of catching all starter Pokémon in [[Unova]]: {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. However this time around he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series, and Oshawott was in fact a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after it ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.
* Ash caught a {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} in [[Kalos]], which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer. It has since evolved into a {{p|Greninja}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} obtained a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in Kalos. It originally belonged to Professor Sycamore as a starting Pokémon for new trainers.
* {{an|Lana}} is revealed to have caught a {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} in [[Alola]]. Popplio was rescued from being abused by members of Team Skull.
* While Ash was in Alola, he caught a {{AP|Rowlet}} who was living in a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, a {{p|Trumbeak}} and a {{p|Toucannon}}. Ash also encountered a {{AP|Litten}} a few times before finally earning its trust and capturing it.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Cheren and Unova starters PBW.png|thumb|200px|The fully evolved Unova starter Pokémon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
[[Monta]], [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] received a {{TP|Monta|Snivy}}, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and Tepig respectively as their first Pokémon. They ended up evolving into their final stages later on.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of starter Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out starter Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], much like in the {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} video games on which the manga was based, {{GnB|Gold}} is offered the choice of one of the three [[Johto]] starter Pokémon - {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} - to borrow so that he may run an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also like in the games, {{GnB|Black}}, who is based on {{ga|Silver}}, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his starter Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his starter instead.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* Two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter Pokémon with the shortest name.
* The only two Starter Pokémon that are dual-type, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.

===In the games===
* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s starter Pokémon are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]. They appear in [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto's]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]], and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos's]].
* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}} or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. Starting in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the starters also have an attacking move of their type at level 5.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type starters have {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type starters have {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow is the only starter Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which it is a starter Pokémon.
* The Johto starter Pokémon are the only set of starter Pokémon that remain the same type in all their evolutionary forms.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle (where one type deals 2× damage to and receives ½× damage from another type), only being broken by the Dark type being completely immune to rather than resistant to the Psychic type.
** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but one of the Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type starter from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}.
* Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], and Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull.
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. Although real salamanders are amphibians, rather than lizards, Charmander can be based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction, and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type starter that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.

Caught Pokémon

2018-04-05T17:20:50Z

FlitPix: /* Procedure */ Links

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
'''Caught Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|捕|つか}}まえたポケモン''' ''Caught Pokémon'', mostly referred to as '''{{tt|ＧＥＴ|ゲット}}したポケモン''' ''Got Pokémon'' by anime [[List of anime characters|characters]], using the English word ''get'') are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have been put in the control of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] by the use of a [[Poké Ball]], or by [[Trade|trading]] with another Trainer.

==Procedure==
[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball after a successful catch in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
The catching process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the Pokémon is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status condition]], at which point the Trainer throws a Poké Ball (or upgraded [[Poké Ball#Types of Poké Ball|version]]) at said Pokémon in order to catch it. Catching Pokémon is central to all [[canon]]s in the Pokémon franchise; a caught Pokémon can be used in battling and for quests to aid Trainers, whereas Pokémon in the wild cannot, except in some episodes in the anime.

In the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon that are caught do not need to [[Obedience|obey]] their owners; if a Pokémon is traded and the Trainer does not have the [[Badge]] required, it may disobey and refuse to execute a [[move]] during battles. In the [[Pokémon anime]], even with many Badges or being under original ownership, many Pokémon still may refuse to listen until trust is gained between the Trainer and Pokémon.

Caught Pokémon are stronger than [[wild Pokémon|Pokémon in the wild]] in the games. At the same level, a caught Pokémon will have more points in every [[statistic]] than a wild one; this is due to the fact that caught Pokémon gain {{EV}}s from every battle they partake in, and therefore, on training, will gain points in their stats based on what they've encountered. This becomes more and more obvious at the later stages of the game, where the higher levels allow for a greater disparity of stats between caught and wild Pokémon, especially those raised from a low level, giving the Trainer a more decisive edge in wild battles.

It's important to note, however, that Pokémon controlled by other Trainers are just as strong statistically (at the same level) as the player's are. Caught Pokémon can [[Level|level up]] and learn new moves in battle, while wild Pokémon cannot, and can [[evolution|evolve]].

Newly caught Pokémon are no stronger or weaker than their wild counterparts, with the exception of innate {{IV}} differences. By using some varieties of Poké Ball, such as the {{ball|Luxury}} and {{ball|Friend}}, a Pokémon's [[friendship]] may be higher than usual upon being caught.

Wild Pokémon that are fused with other Pokémon cannot be caught, with prime examples being {{p|Kyurem}} in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{p|Necrozma}} in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==Pokédex entries==
{{Animedexheader|Kanto|no}}
{{Animedexbody|EP001|Catching Pokémon|Ash's Pokédex|To capture a Pokémon, you ''usually'' have your ''own'' Pokémon battle with the other.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}
{{Animedexheader|Alola|no}}
{{Animedexbody|SM004|Catching Pokémon|Rotom Pokédex|In order to catch a wild Pokémon, you have to throw a Poké Ball at it after it's been exhausted in battle.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Sun & Moon''|Alola}}

==Captured Pokémon==
[[File:Styler Ranger.png|thumb|right|125px|A Capture Styler]]
A related concept to caught Pokémon is '''captured Pokémon''', from the [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger series]]. While catching uses a Poké Ball, capturing requires a [[Capture Styler]], and the captured Pokémon can only be used once for either [[Poké Assist|helping to capture]] another Pokémon or for its [[Field Move]] before it is automatically released. This does not include the player's first captured Pokémon which becomes the [[partner Pokémon]].

==Trivia==
* In the anime, {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] show confusion when they first witness [[Solana]] use her [[Capture Styler]]. This is because of the difference between the concept of ''catching'' a Pokémon and ''capturing'' one. The difference in the terms is very slight, but they do refer to separate concepts.
** Although early episodes do refer to caught Pokémon as ''captured'', this is only used in the dub. In Japan, only Pokémon Rangers use this phrase, while Pokémon Trainers use the English word "'''Get'''".
** However, the term "capturing" is used instead of "catching" by:
*** a [[Trainer Tips]] sign and an NPC in the [[Celadon Department Store]] in {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}},
*** [[Professor Oak]] in Red, Blue, Yellow, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}},
*** the {{ball|Luxury}}'s description in FireRed and LeafGreen,
*** the program "Breaking News TV" on [[television]]s in {{game|Emerald}},
*** {{key|Orre|Krane Memo 4}}, [[Fateen]] and two other NPCs in {{XD}},
*** the [[nickname]] prompt in [[Generation III]],
*** [[Cyrus]], the Team Galactic Report, and another NPC in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum,
