'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} [[Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It evolves from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] in the [[Crimson Mirelands]] during a full moon. All Ursaring in Hisui will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}} in the [[Hisui]] region.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal brown bear Pokémon with a grey pelt around its back, feet, and round tail. The grey pelt has 9 rectangle brown spikes on its back and four spikes around the head. The front feet have five claws each while the back feet have three claws. The face is brown with a light tan circle at center and light tan snout with a small black nose.

Ursaluna's evolution is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] region during a full moon in the Crimson Mirelands. Ursaluna's physique allows it to travel through the swamps with ease and manipulate the peat soil at will to its advantage. Ursaluna are known to be good at searching for stuff by digging into the ground.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to Hokkaido (where Hisui is based on) and its surrounding areas. Its hill or mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for ''bear'') and ''luna'' (Latin for ''moon'').

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

Found then Lost: /* Defining "Signature Moves" */ new section

==Elemental Hyper Beams==
In Gen. III, only Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise could learn [[Blast Burn]], [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[Hydro Cannon]], respectively. The Johto starters could learn it too, but only by being traded from XD (just like [[Lugia]] and [[Psycho Boost]]). Should the 3 HB variations be included in this list, since other "former" signature moves are also included?--[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 02:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
:Feel free to add it at the bottom of the page, but note that all the fully-evolved starters can learn them in Generation IV. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 00:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

==Skarmory?==
Should Skarmory with Steel Wing be included here? After all, it is the only Pokemon that can learn it naturally.
:That would be a good case to make. Question is, how many others do that? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

What about [[Porygon-Z]] and [[Trick Room]]? Though Trick Room is a [[TM]], only Porygon-Z learns it naturally. [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

What about [[Metagross]] and [[Meteor Mash]]?
--[[User:Mooshykris|Mooshykris]] 22:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[[Clefairy]] learns [[Meteor Mash]], though...hardly exclusive...

*coughs* Salamence. That's like his family's evolution story line. And I think it should be at least mentioned about Abra, and how he only uses Teleport.

== About evolved forms ==

Should stone-induced evolved forms be listed? {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} appear in the article. However, the species that actually learns {{m|Volt Tackle}} is {{p|Pichu}} (making the [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Colosseums|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] a [[Signature move#Trivia|trivia section]] material). If Raichu can appear in the list, then {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Mismagius}} should, too. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
:No, I think that only the Pokémon that learns the move should be listed. So Pichu should be listed, but it's evolutions shouldn't. Only if the evolution learns the move then they an be listed. So both Cubone and Marowak learn Bonemerang, therefore both should be listed. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] 15:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

==Splash?==

Would [[Splash (move)|Splash]] be eligible for inclusion here? A bunch of Pokémon can learn the move nowadays, but back in Generation I it was very much [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]]'s trademark. A similar case is already included on the list (Petal Dance, which was exclusive to the Oddish line in Generation I). [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:You're right, according to the current status of the article. But I think that kind of moves shouldn't appear in the list. IMO, in any case, [[Generation III]] stuff is the only past generation that should be mentioned, as it's compatible with [[Generation IV]], but I still don't like the idea.
:I take it this all started with the ExtremeSpeed Dratini from the trivia section, right? Well, that Dratini is obsolete, too. I propose we get rid of ExtremeSpeed Dratini and there won't be need for the ExtremeSpeed Arcanine and the other obsolete groups. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

NO! Lol, we should split this article into each Generation, with a trivia section for Pokémon that do not learn a move naturally. Like Dratini in GenII. I think this would be better. <big>[[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed.

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==

Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.

Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.

Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.

The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded.

==GrassWhistle==
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

==Removing moves==

Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this.

I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:

-----------------------
-{{m|Petal Dance}}

-{{m|Crush Claw}}

-{{m|Splash}}

-{{m|Super Fang}}

-{{m|Beat Up}}

-{{m|Pain Split}}

-{{m|FeatherDance}}

-{{m|Assist}}

-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}

-{{m|Weather Ball}}

-{{m|Extrasensory}}

-{{m|Megahorn}}

-{{m|Waterfall}}

-{{m|Leaf Blade}}
--------------------------

Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.

If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''

Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Overhaul ==

Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.

The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.

== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==

If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 23:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

== Shadow Signature Moves ==

== Another idea ==

I had an idea for a new column. I would like to mention what kind of signature move they are.
*Exclusive means: Only available to the poke himself, or the evolutionary line of that poke.
*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.

== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==

I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't.

== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==

The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.

I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.

:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally.

== V-create still a signature move? ==
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event. They do that all the time. Like the Victini from the movie with Zekrom and Reshiram's moves and the Lugia from XD with Deoxys's move. Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

::Just realized V-create is the move Victini only knows by event as well. Just still, to me it was obviously made for it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:24, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::Which is why I had to revert Darthrai and MisterE13--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 00:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::Actually, it's not as simple as that. The thing is, Meloetta can learn Relic Song via tutor; if the same tutor could be used to teach it to Cresselia, I wouldn't personally consider it Meloetta's signature move anymore (since they can both obtain the move on ''equally'' favorable terms). However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear. (In Relic Song's case, it helps that, unlike V-create, it doesn't scream "THIS MOVE BELONGS TO MELOETTA".) [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

::::And Dialga and Palkia know Roar of Time and Spacial Rend via level-up, whereas Darkrai and Arceus only know it via event. It's not the same. Still, the current definition and status is good, I just think it's worth noting that Rayquaza and Victini both get V-create through similar methods despite it being Victini's signature move.

::::By the definition of signature move, V-create is not Victini's signature move. However, it is a move that is associated with Victini. So based on Victini's associations with the move, you could say that it is its "signature move", but that is not the definition of signature move. To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move"). And to answer your question, Smeargle will Sketch Metronome. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 11:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::In your hypothetical situation, I would argue that Volt Tackle would be Voltorb's signature move until another Pokémon could learn the move, with events always being ignored if there is another way for a Pokémon to learn it.

I'm sorry fellas but V-create actually is Victini's signature move!! Just not in Japan, because in that country Rayquaza can learn it. But this still means its Victini's signature move in the rest of the whole world!!! Just add V-create with a little star explaining its not a signature move anymore in Japan and we're done.

==I'm sorry...==
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''. It's not distinctive when other Pokémon can learn it too. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Signature Move recovery ==

Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

== One table more. ==

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==

I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.

Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

== A few things... ==

First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.

== Definition ==

This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means.

If no one has any objections, I think it should be removed. --[[User:RiverAura|River]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|Aura]] 00:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Event moves... ==

Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)

Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)

Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games.

:In order for a Pokémon to qualify as having a signature move, it must meet one of the following conditions: (1) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move (excluding Smeargle using Sketch), or (2) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move by Level Up. At the time of this writing, Celebi's Hold Back and Inkay's Happy Hour qualify them for condition #1. If a later event is released giving the move to a different Pokémon, then they will cease being signature moves, and they will be removed. If a later game is released where the moves are available to more Pokémon, the same will occur. Celebrate and V-Create are good examples of this. They are event-exclusive moves, but they are available to multiple evolution lines, with Celebrate being found on both Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions), and V-Create being available to both Victini and Rayquaza. Shift Gear, Spacial Rend, Fusion Bolt, etc. are considered signature moves because their users qualify for condition #2, they are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move through Level Up. Snarl on Zoroark was a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White, however, it isn't listed because we don't list things by games, we list them by generation, and the move is not exclusive to Zoroark when you look at Generation V as a whole - which would include Black 2/White 2. Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day is a signature move because it qualifies for both conditions in Gen 2. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
::Actually, GoldenSandslash, we do frequently list things by game instead of generation. See, for example, the Alakazam line's Kinesis in Yellow or Hitmonchan's Vacuum Wave in Diamond/Pearl. Also, your condition #2 is wrong; a TM is also enough to disqualify it, even if only one family can learn it by level up. (I strongly disagree with this criterion, but for some reason it exists.) In any case, I agree that TM95 being unobtainable in BW shouldn't make Snarl Zoroark's signature move, because if you do get a TM95 in BW somehow (tradeback or cheating), it is programmed to be compatible with tons of Pokemon, so it's ''technically'' in their movesets, and it's not programmed to be in Zoroark's level up moveset at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]])
:::TMs aren't tradeable in Gen 5, so there has never been (and never will be) a way to teach a Pokemon a move via TM95 in Black/White without cheating. The only way TM95's compatibility is referred to at all in Black/White is by breeding a tradeback or this Zoroark. (Or a Smeargle that Sketched from this Zoroark or a tradeback, I guess.) And breeding doesn't disqualify a signature move. Why should unobtainable moves in a Pokemon's potential learnset count towards disqualifying a signature move?

== Bone/Rolling Kick thing ==

The removed fact was:
* Bone Club and Bonemerang are the only STAB signature moves throughout all 6 generations.

I don't think Rolling Kick counts because Machop, Hitmontop, and Elekid can learn it. Thus the Bone attacks are the only true signature moves. (IMO, the only signature egg move is Volt Tackle)

And in case someone says Kinesis, it does no damage, thus doesn't qualify for STAB. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

== Discuss please: Move Tutor vs. level-up ==

It has come to my attention on the {{m|Electroweb}} page that, for some reason, we consider it Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW, not in B2W2, again in XY, and then not in ORAS, simply because of the B2W2 and ORAS move tutors. This is frankly ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever. It was also pointed out that Hitmonlee's Mega Kick is also subject to this problem in Gen III.

The fact is that, in a post-Gen III world in which Pokémon can be and regularly are transferred forward and in which Move Tutor availability is extremely broad in some games and extremely narrow in others, the current criteria for signature moves are obscure, difficult to divine, and needlessly convoluted. The simple fact should be that if a Pokémon or evolutionary line is the only one who can learn a move (barring events), that should be its signature move, and if any other Pokémon can have legal access to it by any means (including intergenerational transfer), it should not be considered a signature move.

::I think it's pretty possible to complain both ways.
::We already exclude events or other special circumstances (or {{m|Pay Day}} wouldn't be Meowth's signature move in Gen II/III), and you can kind of view transferred Pokemon like events, if nothing else in the game lets you pass down the move or anything. (...It looks like Hoppip can learn Pay Day by breeding in Gen II, though; by that, I don't support calling it Meowth's signature move for Gen II, actually.)
::I pretty much think a move should be a signature move in Generation [X] if no one can learn it newly outside of one family. Our intro is plenty ambiguous, though.

:::I think I both agree and disagree. I understand how it seems odd for Electroweb's status as a signature move to bounce back and forth, however that's not a particularly common occurrence, and I think it still fits in with the spirit of a signature move. After all, Audino had Secret Power as a signature move in Gen V, even though nearly any Pokémon could exist on those cartridges knowing that move through transfers. I disagree, then, that transfer availability disqualifies a move from being a "signature" move. I also think that the criteria for signature moves are in no way obscure or "difficult to divine", regardless of whether or not I agree with them. A move is a signature move 'in a particular game' if only one family of Pokémon—either evolutionary line or related Legendaries—can learn it without breeding. Transfers and events can be considered reasonable exceptions as they both require interaction outside the game itself (connection to another game or download server—conditions not pre-loaded onto the cartridge). Pretty clear-cut in my opinion. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
::::Why, then, do TMs and Tutors disqualify a signature move, but breeding does not? I have never seen a satisfactory answer for this, nor can I imagine that one exists.

:::::If a move exists as a TM or Tutor move, the game is telling you that there are many Pokémon that can learn it. Like, the move is being advertised to you as something that can be "taught". It's nearly impossible to explain; you either see it or you don't. All I can say is that it would make absolutely no sense for a TM/Tutor move to be learnable by one Pokémon (barring "special" tutor moves like Dragon Ascent; which are specifically mentioned to be FOR a specific Pokémon). Yes that happened in Gen I but we are far past that now. Breeding doesn't really carry that same weight, because when a move is gained by breeding, it is "passed down" by the parent who knows the move, rather than "taught" to the Pokémon from an outside force. That's really the best way I can explain it. It makes perfect sense to me. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 04:42, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::Pretty much. TM and Tutor moves are taught to the Pokémon and thus aren't natural. Breeding is natural as the move is passed down. As for Electroweb, that shouldn't count as it's only for a specific generation that it would count as a signature move, at least, in my opinion.

:::::::I'm confused by what you mean by that. Why shouldn't Electroweb count? Many other Pokémon have a signature move in a specific generation.

::::::::I'm saying that a signature move should only count for the generation, not the game, i.e, it shouldn't matter if it is Joltik/Galvantula's signature move in BW/XY, if it wasn't their signature move for the whole generation, it doesn't count.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:52, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::So, if that's part of the definition we're going with, how should it be applied to various pages? It looks like after this decision was made, mentions of it being the Joltik family's signature move were removed from the Electroweb page, but not from this one. Is this an accidental inconsistency or is it not? Since this is the main page for signature moves, I suppose I could see it having a slightly less strict definition and have the main table use a game-by-game basis rather than a by generation one, while having it removed from move pages if it fails to meet that requirement. Since this is such an arbitrary, unofficial thing, having it take up space on the header of a move page if there are a bunch of disclaimers is probably undesirable. Still, there are plenty of other moves aside from Electroweb scattered across all generations that don't fit the 'whole generation' criterion. Once the stance on this page vs. move pages is resolved, they could easily be sorted out.

:::::::::As for the other parts of the definition, I don't find that explanation for why egg moves don't disqualify a move from being signature to be even remotely convincing. Egg moves, TMs/HMs, and Move Tutors are all in the same boat for me — they are additional moves that can always be taught to a given species under the right conditions (right moves on parents, having the TM, having the payment/happiness criteria for tutors, etc.) in a specific game/generation. If we take signature move to mean a move exclusive to a given species/family in a specific generation with minimal influence from events and previous generations (this is what it seems to be right now), it makes no sense to exclude egg moves. For example, if someone had looked at this page and its definition, then started playing ORAS and found a bunch of Pokemon through the DexNav that knew Present despite it supposedly being exclusive to Delibird, I would not be surprised if they became confused. Maybe not the best example, but my point is, either all three of these 'additional move' categories should be included for signature move disqualification or all three should be excluded (and I much prefer the former).

:::::::::The other two categories, past-gen moves and events, are more of a gray area to me, but since (aside from Gen I/II) it isn't possible to send a later-gen Pokemon back to learn the moves in question and 'born in current generation' is officially recognized by the pentagon in Gen VI , it feels like enough of a difference to me. Excluding event moves also makes some sense to me, since they're exclusive to certain special Pokemon and not any Pokemon of that species. I'm not so sure about in-game "event" Pokemon that don't hinge on real-world things though, like the gen 2 Extreme Speed Dratini, but that has the potential to make it more confusing. Unlike the things in the first two paragraphs, I don't feel too strongly about either of these. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 14:48, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::If we counted egg moves, we would lose a LOT of signature moves here. I think the implication of egg moves versus other moves is a good enough reason, as a move only obtainable by breeding isn't something that a particular Pokémon naturally has the ability to use (i.e. if you just go out and catch one, it will never learn that move, no matter what you try), and therefore it must be specifically passed down to an offspring by the only Pokémon that can naturally learn it. For example, {{m|Octazooka}} has been consistently regarded as {{p|Octillery}}'s signature move; {{p|Horsea}} can learn it, but '''only through direct involvement with an Octillery'''. It will never learn Octazooka unless there is an Octillery involved somewhere in its lineage. A {{p|Pichu}} will never learn {{m|Present}} unless it has a {{p|Delibird}} somewhere in its "family tree".

::::::::::DexNav seems to throw a bit of a wrench into the "natural" idea with the wild egg moves thing, but that seems to just be more of a user-friendly feature so that players have a chance to gain access to egg moves that they might not be able to get otherwise, and also so players have the ability to take advantage of egg moves during story mode (since I imagine very few people take the time to chain-breed then), and perhaps even to introduce the concept to breeding novices, who might not have been dedicated enough fans/players to even know that it existed. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::I think I understand where you're coming from now, and the issue seems to be one of opposing perspectives about what this whole vague term means. The people wanting to exclude egg moves seem to be coming from a sort of 'biological' position, where the point about the move 'originating' on a certain Pokemon would make perfect sense. Others, like me, view it with a position based on 'exclusivity', where the question of where it came from doesn't necessarily matter so much, so long as it's obtainable through intended game mechanics. And more still will have variations on these positions, or completely different ones, since it's not an official term (like the people arguing that it should be the 'most-famous moves of a Pokemon' years ago on this talk page). For example, I've never considered Present or Octazooka or Electroweb or any similar move to be signature because they've never been exclusive through intended (non-Sketch) mechanics, even in their introductory generations/games. Since the current staff seem to agree with the 'biological' interpretation, and there's probably not much I can do to convince them otherwise despite the contradictions that annoy me in the current definition (which I admit is ironic because every definition of this is arbitrary to some extent), I'll just say that we'll have to agree to disagree and move on.

== Payday and Softboiled are omitted from Gen 1? ==

I don't really know how to do anything on this site-- I just made an account because I noticed this page does not list either "Payday" for Meowth in Gen 1, OR "Softboiled" for Chansey, when both of those moves were in the game. In fact, other than battling the Elite 4 over and over, Payday was one of the few ways to keep your ever-slimming wallet from drying up in Red and Blue, and it was this for this reason that I was rather disappointed by the lack of wild Meowth in Yellow version (however, Jesse/James' Meowth DO use Payday against you throughout the game.) As for Softboiled, you receive it via TM from a man in... I want to say Saffron City(?)... after you learn Surf and use it to get to his house in Yellow. Yes, it's a TM, but in Gen 1, Chansey was the ONLY pokemon who was actually able to learn the move from the TM. When you get it, the man even says to you "there's only one pokemon who can learn this technique!" (aside from Mew, obviously, but I assume Mew is a general exception in this thread...)

[[User:GenericCola|GenericCola]] ([[User talk:GenericCola|talk]]) 05:44, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

== Why is Pay Day not considered "signature" for Persian? ==

Pay Day is learned by Meowth, which evolves into Persian. This same logic is used for Pikachu and Raichu with Volt Tackle, so I don't understand why it doesn't apply to Persian too. I understand that since Gen 4 Persian doesn't itself learn Pay Day, but Pikachu and Raichu don't by themselves learn Volt Tackle either.

The same question could be asked about:

Shellder/Cloyster and Clamp (Gen 2), Icicle Spear (Gens 3-4)

Staryu/Starmie and Camouflage (Gen 3)

Magikarp/Gyarados and Splash (Gen 1)

Porygon/Porygon2 and Sharpen (Gen 2)

Misdreavus/Mismagius and Pain Split (Gen 4)

Nuzleaf/Shiftry and Extrasensory (Gen 3)

Slakoth/Vigoroth and Slack Off (Gen 3)

Skitty/Delcatty and Assist (Gen 3)

Along with others I've probably missed.

Can someone please fill me in on the logic here? If the answer is "because they can't learn it themselves," then Pikachu and Raichu should have Volt Tackle removed, along with more than a few other Pokémon. [[User:Mjswdr|Mjswdr]] ([[User talk:Mjswdr|talk]]) 23:27, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

== Inconsistency between main section and teachable signatures ==

I've noticed that, for the purposes of the main section, signature moves that are only unique to a certain Pokemon for one game during a gen, are not counted. For example, Water Shuriken Greninja and the other Kalos starters, whose signature moves were distributed to other mons in ORAS. I understand that, although this may seem unintuitive in some ways, for now it seems like people want to keep it this way.

However, this rule does not seem to apply currently to the "teachable" section. For example, many Pokemon are listed from LGPE where those moves are only unique to them in the context of LGPE, but are otherwise learned by many other Pokemon in the other Gen 7 games. The exception to this would be the Meowth/Persian line, where Pay Day is still unique to them, but otherwise all of the rest are not "true" signatures under the criteria applied to the main section. There are also other examples from other gens, such as Quash Murkrow/Honchkrow in Gen 6, when it can be learned by Sableye in ORAS, Snarl Yveltal in the same gen, Double Team Scyther in Gen 1, etc.

I'm basically asking, should this be cleaned up so that it's consistent with the main section? It would also make the purpose of the specific gen flairs more clear, since it would almost always imply that the move is only teachable via tutor or TM in a specific game, instead of possibly implying that the move is only unique to the Pokemon in that game.

::Tangela, your idea makes sense to me. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:39, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
:::I moved the entire section to its appropriate section as per SnorlaxMonster's suggestion above. TM/HMs immediately do not make moves signature moves, since Pokémon outside of the Pokémon and/or its evolutionary line can learn the move. Which is the first rule of a signature move. A move that can only be learned by either one Pokémon or an entire evolutionary line. I get that the definition can be a bit confusing and difficult to follow when there's no hard written rule about it. But that generally covers the gist of it.
:::As for the consistency, every single section should follow the same rule. There should not be any exemptions. So anything that should not be there should be removed.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:44, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
::::Okay, I will remove the teachable signatures that can be learned naturally by other Pokemon in the same gen.
::::However ForceFire, I think that Rocket Grunt's complaint was regarding signature moves that have been removed because they are only unique to a mon for a specific game during the gen (like Water Shuriken Greninja for example), they were not complaining about the fact that TMs/tutors disqualify moves from being signature.
::::Also, about your definition of signature moves: "TM/HMs immediately do not make moves signature moves, since Pokémon outside of the Pokémon and/or its evolutionary line can learn the move." Would this not also disqualify moves that are learned as egg moves by other Pokemon? I understand egg moves have never been counted here, and it would maybe be a bit weird to say, for example, that Octazooka is not the signature move of Octillery because it can also be bred onto other mons. But currently there is no way to determine from this list whether a move is unique to a mon in the strictest sense, where it cannot be bred onto other mons, so it might be something to consider. --[[User:Tangela13|Tangela13]] ([[User talk:Tangela13|talk]]) 18:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

== mid-generation spreading ==

you should list pokemon that had signature moves until later games in the generation why don't you? [[User:Wild Starfish|Wild Starfish]] ([[User talk:Wild Starfish|talk]]) 18:30, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
:There were such cases presented, but one admin deleted them. I personally don't know why moves have to last as a signature for a whole generation to be here. --'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 18:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)It feels like an artificial rule

== Lugia has Psycho Boost as a "Signature Move" ==

It has been brought to my attention that Lugia is listed as having Psycho Boost as a signature move. What is the reasoning behind this? As far as I understand, Lugia cannot obtain Psycho Boost in gen VIII nor is Psycho Boost even usable. Was there any specific reasoning that this has happened?

:[[XD]] [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 04:57, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
::XD however, is not a gen VIII game, and shouldn't be counted as one in this list. [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 13:42, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
:::It's the same thing as Heart Swap: there's a way to bring the move in (though Magearna is more straight forward as it's a level-up move from recent games), but the move isn't usable so it's not counted at all. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
::::There are some other cases like this, such as Xurkitree and Tail Glow, and Ribombee and Powder. But yeah, I feel like for a move to be listed as a signature move, it has to be usable. --[[User:AmbientDinosaur|AmbientDinosaur]] ([[User talk:AmbientDinosaur|talk]]) 15:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Have we reached an agreement here that it is safe to remove Psycho Boost from the listing for Lugia yet? Or should we discuss this further? [[User:CoolMan6001|CoolMan6001]] ([[User talk:CoolMan6001|talk]]) 03:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

::This really goes into the debate of signature moves by technicality. In this *particular* instance Lugia cannot learn the move naturally by any means, let alone any event, and it can only be transferred from an old Lugia from generations past. Also, in this case I do not think it should be applied as a signature move because Psycho Boost is essentially soft-snapped: even though Lugia *could* have the move through transfer it cannot actually *use* the move. Since the move is rendered unusable in the game data as it stands, it should not be listed in my opinion since it is a "soft-deleted" move like Powder or Tail Glow in that the move itself cannot be used.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 06:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

== Defining "Signature Moves" ==

Yes, I have looked above and seen the different arguments for what constitutes as a signature move, but I'm not looking to change what it's defined as in this article. From what I've seen in the chart we currently have, a Pokemon's signature move is one that ''only it can learn through levelup'' in a particular generation or game. For example, look at Shellder's signature moves. In Generation I, both Shellder and Cloyster can learn Clamp by levelup, so it is listed as both of their signature moves. However in Generation II, Cloyster does not learn Clamp by levelup, and so it isn't listed there. Shellder still learns it by levelup, and therefore it is listed. Generation III, FRLG, Shellder is the only Pokemon to learn Icicle Spear by levelup, and so it is listed with a FRLG note next to it. HOWEVER, other Pokemon still learn Icicle Spear, but not by levelup. Generation IV, it is still listed as Shellder's signature move, as it is the only Pokemon to learn it by levelup still. Generation V, the Vanillite line learns Icicle Spear at level 1, so it is no longer listed as Shellder's signature move.

Looking closer to the top of the chart, you van see Volt Tackle for the Pikachu family. No Pokemon learns Volt Tackle by levelup, and only Pichu by Light Ball and Pikachu by events get it, but it is counted as that evolution line's signature move. This makes sense, only this family can have this move, outside of Smeargle with Sketch. But since it isn't learned by levelup, does it make sense to have it?

Herein lies the problem with the article; There is more than one idea for what makes a move signature. Is it a move that only one Pokemon or family learns by leveling up, like Shellder and Icicle Spear? Is it a move that only one family can have outside of Smeargle, like the Pikachu family and Volt Tackle? Or is it a move that most people know a Pokemon for, such as Magikarp and Splash?

Personally, I believe a signature move is one that only one Pokemon or family can have. Moves like Confide don't make sense to me as signature moves, since more than one Pokemon family have it, even though only the Impidimp family learns it by levelup (or even by any means) in Generation VIII, as Pokemon can be transferred in that know the move Confide; as such it isn't signature. While this would cut down on a significant amount of Pokemon having signature moves, it feels like the cleanest and easiest to explain, at least to me.

Maybe as a separate list we could have moves that only a certain Pokemon can learn by levelup? [[User:Found then Lost|Found then Lost]] ([[User talk:Found then Lost|talk]]) 19:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Found then Lost

'''Magby''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブビィ''' ''Buby'') is a {{type|Fire}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magmar}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magmortar}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Magmarizer]].

==Biology==
Magby is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a red body with a yellow, flame-shaped marking on its stomach. Its head is covered with large lumps, and it has a rounded, yellow beak. There is a single spike on its back and it has a tapered tail. Its short arms have three clawed fingers, while its feet have only two clawed toes.

Magby can breathe 1100 °F (600 °C) flames, and hot embers drip from its mouth. Its health can be determined by these flames; yellow flames show that a Magby is in good health, while flames mixed with a lot of smoke is symptomatic of fatigue, and flames dripping from its nose is a sign of a cold. Magby's {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|volcanic}} habitat ensures its health. However, it [[PK07|can be seen]] living in towns. Magby is known to be rather small and timid. It leaks out flames when excited or surprised. It prefers to soak in the magma of volcano in order to recover from the day's fatigue.

'''Elekid''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレキッド''' ''Elekid'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Electabuzz}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Electivire}} when [[trade]]d holding an [[Electirizer]].

==Biology==
Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with black stripes. Elekid's arms are bulky in proportion to its body, and it has three claws instead of fingers. It has two stripes on its arms, which wrap all the way around. There are two horns on top of its head which resemble the prongs of a plug, complete with holes in their sides. These horns glow bluish-white when Elekid is fully charged. Elekid has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest. Two rows of stripes are near the marking, with the pattern continuing around its lower back. Its legs are black, and its feet are rounded and toeless.

Elekid tends to become restless and full-on rowdy when it hears the sound of thunderstorm coming, and likes to play out in the middle of thunderstorms. It can generate electricity by rotating its arms, but it tires easily and can only charge a small amount. Elekid cannot store the electricity it generates, so it prefers to break into the houses of humans in order to consume electricity from their electrical outlets. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}

[[File:Mistralton City Spring B.png|thumb|300px|Mistralton City in Pokémon Black]]
'''Mistralton City''' (Japanese: '''フキヨセシティ''' ''Fukiyose City'') is located in western [[Unova]]. It lies directly north of [[Chargestone Cave]], and is geographically positioned between three mountain ranges. North of Mistralton City is {{rt|7|Unova}} and the [[Celestial Tower]], a prominent place of burial and mourning for deceased Pokémon in Unova. The city is famous for its airport which imports and exports cargo around the Unova [[region]] and beyond. The city is home to [[Skyla]], a pilot who is also the Mistralton City [[Gym Leader]].

As with most of the western side of Unova, Mistralton City has a cool climate and is subject to {{weather|rain}} during the [[Season (mechanic)#Spring|spring]], summer, and autumn. Sometimes during winter, it {{weather|snow}}s and {{weather|hail}}s.

==Slogan==
'''''Strewn with Windblown Leaves''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|風が花を集める街}}''' ''The city where the winds gather the flowers.'')

==Places of interest==
{{Bad image|section|Should be the whole city as seen in White Version}}
[[File:Mistralton City W.png|thumb|256px|Mistralton City in Pokémon White]]
===Mistralton Cargo Service===
{{sign|bwbuilding|Mistralton Cargo Service|Our slogan is "Quick and Safe!"}}

The Mistralton Cargo Service handles and maintains packages that are sent or received by the cargo planes. Their slogan, "Quick and Safe!", is reinforced by their staff who offer quick and efficient cargo delivery. The Cargo Service building is also a control tower which allows planes to fly safely in the sky where there are no roads. The Cargo Service building seems to be more than just a cargo delivery system, as many members of the community gather on the ground floor to convene and share items.

A singing woman inside standing near the TV will exchange ten [[Sweet Heart]]s for a [[Heart Scale]]; in Black 2 and White 2, the {{player}} only needs to trade five Sweet Hearts for a Heart Scale on {{wp|Valentine's Day}} (February 14) and {{wp|White Day}} (March 14). There is also a woman who welcomes the player into the city and gives away a [[Sharp Beak]] as a commemoration gift. Other residence will offer advice and information about planes and {{m|fly}}ing.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, after acquiring six [[Badge]]s and meeting [[Professor Juniper]] in [[Celestial Tower]], it is possible to fly by plane to [[Lentimas Town]] after speaking to Skyla. Also, once the player acquires the [[Permit]] from Professor Juniper after seeing all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2's Unova Pokédex]], it will also become possible to fly to the [[Nature Preserve]].

===Runway===
Mistralton City is dominated by a large runway as a result of the transportation services to the region. The concrete, skid-marked landing strip alone takes up almost two-thirds of the area, making it an extrusive part of the city, one that many residents pride themselves upon. The runway holds two small cargo planes — one positioned ready for takeoff, while the other parked in a small storage area to the side of the main runway.

Airplanes only fly once per day to deliver cargo around the region; any other time after that the runway is free for public access. Fresh vegetables are grown around the boundaries of the runway so they can be picked and sent to faraway [[region]]s quickly. The method of which these vegetables are grown varies depending on the game being played; players of Pokémon Black find that the vegetables are grown within greenhouses in a systematic fashion, while players of Pokémon White find that the vegetables are grown naturally in vegetable patches which are a subject to benefiting from the changing weather.

There are many hidden items which can be found around the growing vegetables, including a [[Paralyze Heal|Parlyz Heal]], a [[Max Ether]], an [[Elixir]], and a [[Repel]]. A {{tc|Youngster}} also hides {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}} which can be found after the player defeats Skyla and agrees to find his treasure. {{TM|58|Sky Drop}} can also be found located under the wing of the parked cargo plane on the eastern side of the runway.

===Move Family's House===
The Move Family reside in a house just east of the [[Pokémon Center]], which contains both the [[Move Reminder#Generation V|reminder girl]] and the [[Move Deleter]] as members of the family. The reminder girl allows any Pokémon to relearn any move that they were able to learn from a previous level-up in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. One limitation is the reminder girl is restricted to the particular moveset associated with the Pokémon's species. Many Pokémon, especially those that evolve by way of Evolution stone, have access to moves that their evolutions do not, such as with Eevee, who can learn Take Down by level though none of its evolutions can.

The Move Deleter opposite the reminder girl will make a Pokémon forget a move it knows. This is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}. A Pokémon's move will not be forgotten if it is the only move it knows.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, they can be found instead in [[Pokémon World Tournament]], and in their house is a [[TM]] collector who gives the [[player character]] an [[HP Up]] if they have certain numbers of TMs.

===Hidden Power===
A man next to the [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] will tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}. Hidden Power is a {{type|Normal}} move when the type is displayed, such as in battle and on status screens. However, the actual type of Hidden Power is determined by the Pokémon's [[individual values]], and through calculation, can be set as one of the sixteen other natural types and with a power between 30 and 70. Using this method to obtain a Pokémon's Hidden Power is much quicker and easier.

In Black 2 and White 2, he can be found instead in Pokémon World Tournament.

===Mistralton City Gym===
{{main|Mistralton Gym}}
The Mistralton Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Mistralton City. The Gym is a converted cargo plane hangar which is located north of the runway. It is based on {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Skyla. Mistralton Gym is designed like a military hangar. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the inside is full of cannons which the player must use to make their way to Skyla. Most of these cannons help the player to progress to Skyla; however, some will blast the player back to a Trainer. In {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the interior of the Gym has been redesigned, and features large fans that occasionally blow the player across the room. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Jet}}, as well as {{TM|62|Acrobatics}} as a reward.

===Mulch maniac===
{{main|Item maniac#Mulch maniac|Item maniac}}
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, there is a male {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} south of the runway who will buy [[mulch]] off the player for a higher price than usual.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Black and White===
Mistralton City has a population of 37 making it a fairly small city. This makes it the second smallest city in the Unova region, just above [[Icirrus City]] with 34 residents. Most of the population work or are involved in maintaining the Mistralton Cargo Service which is the most significant aspect of the town.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
Mistralton City has a population of 30 making it a fairly small city. When {{tc|School Kid}} Alberta is defeated at the [[Celestial Tower]], she returns to Mistralton, increasing the population to 31. This makes it the second smallest city in the Unova region, just above [[Icirrus City]] with 26 residents. Most of the population work or are involved in maintaining the Mistralton Cargo Service which is the most significant aspect of the town.

==In the anime==
[[File:Mistralton City anime.png|thumb|250px|Mistralton City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived in Mistralton City in ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]''. When they met [[Skyla]], they were shocked to learn of her use of "Air Battles", imaginary {{pkmn|battles}} that she used to decide whether to give her challengers [[Badge]]s or not, instead of actually battling them. Angered by this, {{an|Cilan}} challenged Skyla to a battle, but was defeated, matching Skyla's prediction. Despite this, Skyla's grandfather, {{an|Miles}}, managed to convince Skyla to have an actual Gym battle with Ash. During the Gym battle in the [[BW068|next episode]], Ash's {{p|Tranquill}} evolved into {{AP|Unfezant}}, allowing Ash to win himself a {{badge|Jet}}. Afterwards, Skyla promised to give up on Air Battles.

Mistralton City first appeared in ''[[PS493|Underground Showdown]]'' and ''[[PS494|Up in the Air]]'', where {{adv|Black}} and [[Clay]] traveled through the city to join a meeting between Unova's [[Gym Leader]]s at the [[Celestial Tower]]. After the meeting was over, [[Skyla]] took Black to [[Mistralton Gym|her Gym]] for a Gym battle. The battle was concluded in ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', with Black emerging victorious. After having one of her Gym cannons fire Black back to the top of the Celestial Tower and hearing him ring the bell on its roof, Skyla sent her {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}} to bring Black the {{badge|Jet}} he had earned.

Giant Chasm

Found then Lost: /* Trivia */ Deleted tidbit about being the only place where wild Metagross and Mamoswine can be found and caught in the main series, due to both no longer being so with the release of Crown Tundra.

'''Giant Chasm''' (Japanese: '''ジャイアントホール''' ''Giant Hole'') is an area in the northeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]].

It is a large impact crater containing a maze-like forest, and is home to a number of [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]], including the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyurem}}, who resides in the deepest part of the cave at the far end of the crater.

This area has many high-level Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s. It is said that disaster will befall to any person who approaches it, which may explain why {{p|Absol}} can be caught here.

==Role==
{{spoilers}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Black and White}}, when the {{player}} reaches the pond in the middle of the crater, the forest will freeze and be completely covered in snow, thus giving the player access to the cave {{p|Kyurem}} is hiding. Once the player has captured or defeated Kyurem and left the area, the snow will disappear, and the northern portion of the caves will no longer be accessible. If Kyurem is defeated, however, the area will become accessible again after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} once more and returning to the pond in the center of the crater.

In the years between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the path from [[Lacunosa Town]] to the Giant Chasm has been blocked by a landslide. A lone boulder blocks the path, which can be pushed with {{m|Strength}} from the Giant Chasm's exterior.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player encounters [[Team Plasma]] here. Two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s block a path inside the east of the cave until the [[Plasma Frigate]] arrives on top of the crater's forest after the player obtains the {{badge|Wave}}. The frigate freezes over many of the trees, creating an icy hill on top of which the frigate is docked. [[Rood]] of the [[Seven Sages]] along with several old Team Plasma members confront the new Team Plasma; this gives the player the opportunity to sneak aboard the Plasma Frigate, where they battle against [[Colress]] and run into [[Ghetsis]]. The player follows Ghetsis out of the ship after defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. At the end of the cave, Ghetsis appears and tries to freeze the player alive with Kyurem's {{m|Glaciate}}, but are saved by [[N]] and his {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} flying down from above. Ghetsis then reveals he tricked N into coming here so Ghetsis could fuse Kyurem with N's dragon. Ghetsis then uses his cane to control Kyurem, who then proceeds to fuse with N's dragon with the [[DNA Splicers]], forcing the player to fight Black{{sup/5|B2}}/White{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Upon winning the battle, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} will be separated from Kyurem and return to N, and Kyurem will disappear from the cave. Afterwards, the player fights Ghetsis himself.

After defeating Ghetsis, he descends into madness, causing the [[Shadow Triad]] to appear and take him away, leaving his cane. Outside, the Plasma Frigate has left. Rood and his team wait to tell the player that Colress has disbanded the new Team Plasma and taken the Plasma Frigate. Kyurem will appear here after the player has caught {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} at [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

[[File:Giant Chasm Cave Depths PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Cave Depths in Pokémon Generations]]
===In Pokémon Generations===
Giant Chasm appeared in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', where [[Ghetsis]] was seen there with {{p|Kyurem}}, commanding it to cover all of Unova in ice. However, he was interrupted by [[N]] arriving with {{p|Reshiram}}, wanting to protect the place that had taught him how humans and Pokémon can live together. Ghetsis then used the [[DNA Splicers]] on Kyurem, allowing it to absorb Reshiram and turn into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. He then ordered Kyurem to attack N, but N was saved by the sudden arrival of {{ga|Hilbert}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, who had arrived to help stop Ghetsis.

===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
Giant Chasm appeared in ''[[PBW6|Pokédex Complete!]]'', where [[Monta]], [[Cheren]], and [[Bianca]] entered it in order for Monta to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Kyurem. He eventually succeeded, adding Kyurem's data to his [[Pokédex]].

[[File:Giant Chasm Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Giant Chasm in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Giant Chasm first appeared in [[PS545]], where {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} and the [[Plasma Frigate]] were revealed to be heading towards it.

In [[PS546]], the [[Unova]] [[Pokédex holder]]s, pursuing [[Team Plasma]], arrived there as well. Upon arrival, they met [[Iris]] and [[Gorm]], learning that Iris had become the new {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova after defeating [[Alder]] and {{adv|N}}. [[Colress]] then appeared and had Kyurem attack the group with {{m|Freeze Shock}}, freezing the entire Giant Chasm over in the process. However, Colress suddenly lost control of Kyurem, and [[Rood]], arriving at the scene, informed him that the white Team Plasma had activated a device that neutralizes the [[Colress Machine]]'s ability to control Pokémon. Freed of Colress's control, Kyurem ejected the [[Dark Stone]] from its body and absorbed {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, turning into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. Seeing that Kyurem was no longer under his control, Colress decided to quit Team Plasma and escape. While {{adv|Blake}} pursued Colress, {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, and Iris tried to stop Kyurem from destroying the Plasma Frigate, since N was still inside it. Eventually, Kyurem separated from Reshiram and left, only returning briefly afterwards to freeze Colress after he had been defeated by Blake. Once all the humans had left the Giant Chasm, Kyurem covered the entire location in ice in order to rest undisturbed.

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Crater Forest has the highest-leveled [[wild Pokémon]] in grass in the game, the highest level being 65.
* The Giant Chasm and its lore seem to have been inspired by the real-life {{wp|Tunguska event}}. A shard of comet struck the Siberian taiga, forming a huge crater and felling trees for miles. Like how Kyurem is thought to have fallen on a comet, and how the Plasma Frigate destroys the forest, the Tunguska event is surrounded by conspiracy theories of aliens and weapons testing.

Found then Lost: /* Personality and characteristics */ Changed text from "Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; for example...it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin" to "Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however" as that's a bad ex.

'''Ash's Incineroar''' (Japanese: '''サトシのガオガエン''' ''Satoshi's Gaogaen'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and his fiftieth overall.

==In the anime==
===History===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====
=====As a wild Pokémon=====
Few details are known about Incineroar's past when it was a Litten, except that it endured unknown hardships that have brought those who can understand Litten—such as {{MTR}} and [[Olivia]]—to tears. Litten was rescued at some point by an aging {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Stoutland}}, and the two began to live together. However, Stoutland soon became too old to search for food by itself, leaving Litten to do the gathering.
[[File:Stoutland and Litten.png|thumb|left|250px|With Stoutland as a Litten]]
Incineroar debuted as Litten in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', relaxing on the beaches of [[Melemele Island]] before it was accidentally stepped on by {{Ash}} when he was racing with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Litten, in anger, attacked Ash with {{m|Ember}} and walked off.

In ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Litten approached the [[Pokémon School]] and watched [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}}. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Litten was seen being fed by [[Anela]] in a marketplace on the beach. At that moment, it saw a wild {{AP|Rowlet}} carrying off a wind chime.

In ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]'', Litten approached Ash and Pikachu in an attempt to get something to eat. When Ash offered it a piece of the sandwich, it stole the larger portion and ran off, only to be stopped and foiled by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}}. Annoyed by Litten's trickery, Ash promised to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The next day, Ash and Pikachu saw Litten being attacked by the previous Alolan Persian and stopped it. Litten, despite being on the verge of collapse, protested against being brought to the [[Pokémon Center]], biting and scratching Ash all the way there. After being treated, Ash brought it to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, but it managed to escape in the middle of the night. Ash, Pikachu, and [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom]] followed Litten to an abandoned house, where they discovered that Litten had been gathering food for an old Stoutland. Having learned this, Ash decided to give up on capturing Litten, leaving it to care for its caretaker. Suddenly, the group was attacked by the Alolan Persian from earlier. Ash had everyone leave the house, where Pikachu and Litten then started battling the Persian. Litten eventually defeated Persian, and successfully protected Stoutland. The next day, Ash discovered that Litten and Stoutland had relocated. After being assured by Anela that Litten was doing fine, Litten appeared from behind her to grab the fruit she had prepared and ran off into the distance.

[[File:Ash Litten.png|thumb|250px|As a Litten]]
In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Litten was seen when Ash's Rowlet and [[Lana's Popplio]] got separated from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and fought {{MTR}} off when he tried to catch them. It took them to Stoutland, who told Litten to go and help Rowlet and Popplio get back to their Trainers. During their search, the trio got caught by {{TRT}}. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. After Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, Litten ran off again.

In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be with its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into a panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

Upon returning home, one of the supports of the sofa the two Pokémon had been sleeping on broke as a tree shed its last leaf and a massive storm whipped up over Melemele. Wracked with grief upon realizing it would never see Stoutland again, Litten looked up to the sky and started yowling. Ash and his Pokémon later found Litten asleep on the sofa, curled up next to the tree's leaf, and kept visiting it to comfort the Fire Cat Pokémon. While the others were still sleeping next to the sofa, Litten woke up as the rain stopped saw a cloud formation shaped like Stoutland behind a rainbow, seemingly smiling in approval. Gathered with resolve, Litten offered Ash a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Afterwards, Litten agreed to battle Ash and Pikachu, and was able to successfully execute Fire Fang. After the battle, Litten allowed Ash to catch it; the Trainer having finally gained its trust. When sent out again, Litten happily joined in with the rest of Ash's Pokémon when he poured out the rest of the Berries in his shopping bag.

=====With Ash=====
[[File:Ash Torracat.png|thumb|250px|left|As a Torracat]]
In ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', Litten was seen {{pkmn|training}} with [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] to master Fire Fang, but was still unsuccessful in mastering the move. Later, when Ash was stuck inside an enraged {{p|Palossand}}'s body, Litten got caught in its body as well when protecting {{AP|Rockruff}}. Palossand then began absorbing Litten's life force, causing it to be unable to leave Palossand's body. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Snowy]] was able to {{status|freeze}} Palossand with {{m|Powder Snow}}, stopping it from absorbing life force. Litten then managed to master Fire Fang and used it to break free from Palossand's body. Afterwards, Litten and Ash returned Palossand's lost shovel, calming the Sand Castle Pokémon down.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', {{Delia}} visited her son and took a liking to Litten and gave it the nickname '''Litty''' (Japanese: '''ニャビーちゃん''' ''Nyabby-chan''). At first, her sudden approach made Litten freak out, but once she started petting it, Litten got more comfortable. Delia later used Litten in a battle against [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]] of [[Team Skull]], who were attacking the Pokémon School.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Litten assisted Ash in clearing the [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Lush Jungle]], where it battled a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Lurantis}}. It initially had the upper hand, until Lurantis called its ally {{p|Castform}}, who created [[harsh sunlight]] using {{m|Sunny Day}}. As Litten struggled with Lurantis's now immediate {{m|Solar Blade}}s and Castform's {{m|Water Gun}}s, Ash sent out Rowlet to assist it. With the help of Rowlet, Litten was able to fight on equal ground against its opponents. After a hard fought battle, Rowlet managed to defeat Castform, allowing Litten to use {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} to knock Lurantis out as well. Having cleared the trial, Ash was rewarded a [[Grassium Z]].

In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.
[[File:Torracat Stoutland.png|thumb|250px|With Stoutland as a Torracat]]
In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Torracat joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', Torracat was reunited with Stoutland, who was brought back as a spirit due to the effects of {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}'s mist. After showing its former mentor how much stronger it has become since they last met, Stoutland helped Torracat evolve its Ember into {{m|Fire Blast}}. Later, after Torracat mastered its new move, the mist lifted and Stoutland's spirit returned to the afterlife.

In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were sent to the past after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.

[[File:SM143.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Torracat, facing [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]]]]
In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.

In ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'', Torracat was sent out first in Ash's exhibition battle against Kukui. Torracat used Flame Charge to boost its {{stat|Speed}} and try to overwhelm Kukui's Incineroar with it, but its opponent's experience in Battle Royals allowed it to see through this tactic. Incineroar countered with a powerful {{m|Blast Burn}}, only for Torracat to absorb the attack into the flame sac on its neck. While this powered it up, Torracat was unable to keep the flames under control, causing it to overheat. Having no other choice, Ash recalled Torracat and switched it out for Lycanroc.

In ''[[SM142|A Full Battle Bounty!]]'', Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.

In ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', Torracat was sent out against Kukui's Incineroar. As Torracat recovered from an unintentional overload of energy that it sustained earlier, it had a hard-fought battle against Incineroar, with both Pokémon landing and receiving hard blows. As Torracat's energy was pushed to the limit, both Ash and Kukui commanded Inferno Overdrive to be used against each other's Pokémon, and the two already-overpowered fireballs melded, causing a storm of fire energy. The two Pokémon leaped into the inferno to trade blows, with Torracat landing a super-effective Revenge against its opponent. As the two emerged from the firestorm, they stared each other down for a few moments, until Incineroar collapsed. Just after it was declared the winner, Torracat suddenly evolved into Incineroar. However, the expended energy from the evolution caused it to pass out while still standing and thus be unable to continue battling.

Following Ash's decision to travel the {{pkmn|world}}, he left Incineroar, along with his other Alolan Pokémon, with Professors Kukui and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}, before heading back to [[Pallet Town]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In [[JN037]], Incineroar greeted Ash upon his return to Alola and also met [[Goh]].

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Litten fiery disposition.png|thumb|250px|Showing off its fiery disposition as a Litten]]
Before being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Litten was a stubborn Pokémon that tended to keep its emotions and motives hidden. Its closest friend was an old {{an|Stoutland}} that once helped it when it had lost consciousness. Litten was seen training itself with Stoutland's guidance, and protected and cared for Stoutland in its ailing state. Litten had a very close relationship with Stoutland, and deeply cared for it, as evidenced by Litten's dreams about it. Litten had difficulty getting close to humans, but seemed to get along well with [[Anela]]. When Litten was wild, it would often visit her when it needed food.

Its first encounter with Ash did not go over so well. When he accidentally stepped on Litten's tail while running along the beach, it responded by burning his face with {{m|Ember}}. Encounters with Litten after that were unpleasant for Ash as well, as Litten had a tendency to attack him or steal his food, showing off cunning and slick characteristics to its enigmatic personality. When Stoutland thought it would be a good idea for Litten to join Ash, Litten wasn't keen on the idea. When Stoutland collapsed due to ill health, Litten's demeanor toward Ash began to change, and it was desperate for him to help it. After Litten accepted Stoutland's absence, it began trying to offer its food to Ash like it had done with Stoutland. Despite their growing relationship and mutual trust, Litten still shows a tendency to burn Ash in the face even after befriending him; though now, it seems to be done mostly as a sign of affection toward him, much like {{AP|Charizard}} before it.
[[File:Ash and Incineroar.png|left|thumb|250px|Incineroar and Ash]]
Since its capture, it has reflected its solicitous nature over Stoutland on its new teammates. This was showcased in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', when it protected {{AP|Rockruff}} from being eaten by an angry {{p|Palossand}} and was even fine with Rockruff sleeping next to itself, despite putting the fact that it did not want to play with it earlier. This shows Litten is willing to open up to its new family despite its innately frisky nature. Litten is cold and apathetic towards strangers; however, in ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', when it was introduced to its Trainer's {{Delia|mother}}, it couldn't resist being stroked gently under its chin.

Since its capture, Litten has grown close to its Trainer and helps fellow Pokémon. For example, in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it helped [[Snowy]] warm up towards Ash and even offered Snowy a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Despite growing to care for others more, it still tends to become somewhat aggressive, as shown in ''[[SM028|Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!]]'', where it got angry towards a nearby baseball and in ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'', where it got annoyed at Ash's Lycanroc. In ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', Litten tended to spar with Lycanroc on occasion, even when it is separated from its Trainer. Its rivalry with Lycanroc was again shown in ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', where it fought with it over who could eat their food the quickest.

Despite its rivalry with the [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar|Masked Royal's Incineroar]], Incineroar still cares for it as it moved to help out Incineroar from the [[Revengers]]' Pokémon after they unfairly ganged up on it. This was shown in ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', where it became distressed when it couldn't see Incineroar after the Masked Royal called it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Litten also has a strong sense of smell. In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', after sniffing the Masked Royal's scent, it immediately recognized him as Professor Kukui.

==Trivia==
* Unlike every other [[evolution]] sequence, Litten didn't glow whilst evolving. Instead, it became covered in a red flame, with some parts of its body glowing a purple aura before they finish transforming. However, this happened only when Litten evolved into Torracat, while its evolution into Incineroar used the typical animation.
* Both of Incineroar's evolutions occurred while fighting [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]].
* Torracat evolving into Incineroar marks the first time in the {{pkmn|anime}} that a Pokémon has [[Fainting|fainted]] just after its evolution.
* Incineroar is currently the only one of Ash's Pokémon to not have a battle since its evolution.

Giant Chasm

'''Giant Chasm''' (Japanese: '''ジャイアントホール''' ''Giant Hole'') is an area in the northeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]].

It is a large impact crater containing a maze-like forest, and is home to a number of [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]], including the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyurem}}, who resides in the deepest part of the cave at the far end of the crater.

This area has many high-level Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s. It is said that disaster will befall to any person who approaches it, which may explain why {{p|Absol}} can be caught here.

==Role==
{{spoilers}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Black and White}}, when the {{player}} reaches the pond in the middle of the crater, the forest will freeze and be completely covered in snow, thus giving the player access to the cave {{p|Kyurem}} is hiding. Once the player has captured or defeated Kyurem and left the area, the snow will disappear, and the northern portion of the caves will no longer be accessible. If Kyurem is defeated, however, the area will become accessible again after defeating the {{un|Pokémon League}} once more and returning to the pond in the center of the crater.

In the years between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the path from [[Lacunosa Town]] to the Giant Chasm has been blocked by a landslide. A lone boulder blocks the path, which can be pushed with {{m|Strength}} from the Giant Chasm's exterior.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player encounters [[Team Plasma]] here. Two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s block a path inside the east of the cave until the [[Plasma Frigate]] arrives on top of the crater's forest after the player obtains the {{badge|Wave}}. The frigate freezes over many of the trees, creating an icy hill on top of which the frigate is docked. [[Rood]] of the [[Seven Sages]] along with several old Team Plasma members confront the new Team Plasma; this gives the player the opportunity to sneak aboard the Plasma Frigate, where they battle against [[Colress]] and run into [[Ghetsis]]. The player follows Ghetsis out of the ship after defeating the [[Shadow Triad]]. At the end of the cave, Ghetsis appears and tries to freeze the player alive with Kyurem's {{m|Glaciate}}, but are saved by [[N]] and his {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} flying down from above. Ghetsis then reveals he tricked N into coming here so Ghetsis could fuse Kyurem with N's dragon. Ghetsis then uses his cane to control Kyurem, who then proceeds to fuse with N's dragon with the [[DNA Splicers]], forcing the player to fight Black{{sup/5|B2}}/White{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Upon winning the battle, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} will be separated from Kyurem and return to N, and Kyurem will disappear from the cave. Afterwards, the player fights Ghetsis himself.

After defeating Ghetsis, he descends into madness, causing the [[Shadow Triad]] to appear and take him away, leaving his cane. Outside, the Plasma Frigate has left. Rood and his team wait to tell the player that Colress has disbanded the new Team Plasma and taken the Plasma Frigate. Kyurem will appear here after the player has caught {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} at [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

[[File:Giant Chasm Cave Depths PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Cave Depths in Pokémon Generations]]
===In Pokémon Generations===
Giant Chasm appeared in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]'', where [[Ghetsis]] was seen there with {{p|Kyurem}}, commanding it to cover all of Unova in ice. However, he was interrupted by [[N]] arriving with {{p|Reshiram}}, wanting to protect the place that had taught him how humans and Pokémon can live together. Ghetsis then used the [[DNA Splicers]] on Kyurem, allowing it to absorb Reshiram and turn into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. He then ordered Kyurem to attack N, but N was saved by the sudden arrival of {{ga|Hilbert}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, who had arrived to help stop Ghetsis.

===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
Giant Chasm appeared in ''[[PBW6|Pokédex Complete!]]'', where [[Monta]], [[Cheren]], and [[Bianca]] entered it in order for Monta to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Kyurem. He eventually succeeded, adding Kyurem's data to his [[Pokédex]].

[[File:Giant Chasm Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Giant Chasm in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Giant Chasm first appeared in [[PS545]], where {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} and the [[Plasma Frigate]] were revealed to be heading towards it.

In [[PS546]], the [[Unova]] [[Pokédex holder]]s, pursuing [[Team Plasma]], arrived there as well. Upon arrival, they met [[Iris]] and [[Gorm]], learning that Iris had become the new {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova after defeating [[Alder]] and {{adv|N}}. [[Colress]] then appeared and had Kyurem attack the group with {{m|Freeze Shock}}, freezing the entire Giant Chasm over in the process. However, Colress suddenly lost control of Kyurem, and [[Rood]], arriving at the scene, informed him that the white Team Plasma had activated a device that neutralizes the [[Colress Machine]]'s ability to control Pokémon. Freed of Colress's control, Kyurem ejected the [[Dark Stone]] from its body and absorbed {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, turning into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. Seeing that Kyurem was no longer under his control, Colress decided to quit Team Plasma and escape. While {{adv|Blake}} pursued Colress, {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|White}}, and Iris tried to stop Kyurem from destroying the Plasma Frigate, since N was still inside it. Eventually, Kyurem separated from Reshiram and left, only returning briefly afterwards to freeze Colress after he had been defeated by Blake. Once all the humans had left the Giant Chasm, Kyurem covered the entire location in ice in order to rest undisturbed.

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Crater Forest has the highest-leveled [[wild Pokémon]] in grass in the game, the highest level being 65.
* The Giant Chasm and its lore seem to have been inspired by the real-life {{wp|Tunguska event}}. A shard of comet struck the Siberian taiga, forming a huge crater and felling trees for miles. Like how Kyurem is thought to have fallen on a comet, and how the Plasma Frigate destroys the forest, the Tunguska event is surrounded by conspiracy theories of aliens and weapons testing.
* The Giant Chasm is the only location in all the [[core series]] Pokémon games where wild {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Mamoswine}} can be found and {{pkmn2|caught}}.

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Ninetales has an {{2t|Ice|Fairy}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
Ninetales is a fox-like, quadruped Pokémon covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine, long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.

While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes that are said to give it the ability to control minds. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

In the [[Alola]] region, Ninetales has a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Finally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Ninetales]</ref>

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]] and in some {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon names|prerelease material}}.
* Ninetales and Vulpix share their {{pkmn|category}} name with the {{p|Fennekin}} evolutionary line, {{p|Nickit}}, and {{p|Thievul}}. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.
* Alolan Ninetales is one of the few Pokémon, along with {{p|Snom}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, and {{p|Frosmoth}}, that can be knocked out by [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] from full {{stat|HP}}. If Alolan Ninetales is switched in while three layers of {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and the effect of {{m|G-Max Steelsurge}} are present of its side of the field, the total damage will be 100% of its HP as long as its HP is divisible by four. {{p|Amaura}} and {{p|Aurorus}} also can be knocked out at full health in this way, but are not currently in Sword and Shield.

===Origin===
Ninetales is based on a {{wp|red fox}} and also the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese legend, which have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and can breathe fire. After living a long time, kitsune take on spirit forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn {{type|Ghost}} moves. In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐 ''kyūbi no kitsune'', a ''kitsune'' of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold, and, upon gaining its ninth tail, has gained powers equivalent to a deity, bearing omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience.

Alolan Ninetales seems to be based on the {{wp|Arctic fox}}. Its lore as a deity incarnation references the Hawaiian Goddess of snow {{wp|Poliʻahu}} who lives on {{wp|Hawaii (island)|Hawaii island}}, though traditionally she lives on {{wp|Mauna Kea}} rather than {{wp|Mauna Loa}}, where its location in ''Sun and Moon'' is based on.

====Name origin====
Ninetales is a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', which itself may combine ''tails'' and {{wp|fairy tale}}s, from the Japanese myth it is based on. It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip, which was historically used in military punishments.

Kyukon is a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) and 恨 ''kon'' (grudge, from the curse it may cast on its foes), ''kon kon'' (the sound foxes make), コンロ ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}), or ''ko'', an alternate reading of 狐 ''kitsune'' (fox). Alternatively, it can be read as 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge).

'''Ninetales''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュウコン''' ''Kyukon'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Vulpix}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

In [[Alola]], Ninetales has an {{2t|Ice|Fairy}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Vulpix when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
Ninetales is a fox-like, quadruped Pokémon covered in thick, luxurious golden-white fur. It has a small mane of thicker fur around its neck and a long, fluffy crest atop its head. It has slender legs with three-toed paws and nine, long tails with pale orange tips. It has red eyes, pointed ears, and a triangular black nose.

While intelligent enough to easily understand human speech, Ninetales is a very vengeful Pokémon that has been known to curse those who mistreat it. It can live for 1,000 years due to the energy within its nine tails, each of which is said to have a different mystical power. Flames spewed from its mouth can hypnotize an opponent and its gleaming red eyes that are said to give it the ability to control minds. [[M01|The anime]] has shown that it can swim. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ninetales is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

In the [[Alola]] region, Ninetales has a different appearance. Its coat is pale blue, and its fur is more flowing and wispier. The tips of its tails and crest, as well as the lower halves of its legs, are white. The crest on its head is longer and its nine tails are less distinct from each other. Finally, it has larger eyes, which are blue, and small tufts of fur in front of its ears.

Alolan Ninetales lives on Alola's snow-capped [[Mount Lanakila]], which is considered by some to be holy ground. As such, it is revered as a sacred messenger or deity. Alolan Ninetales has a gentle temperament and is known to aid lost humans in distress, though this is primarily done to keep them out of its territory. It will punish any threat to its pack of {{p|Vulpix}}. It can produce ice crystals from its fur, which it can use for both offense and defense. The ice crystals can act as a shield or form balls that can be fired like bullets with enough force to shatter rock.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-ninetales/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Ninetales]</ref>

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as {{rf|Alolan}} Ninetales.
* Ninetales's name is misspelled as ''Ninetails'' in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for the [[Game Boy Color]] and in some {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon names|prerelease material}}.
* Ninetales and Vulpix share their {{pkmn|category}} name with the {{p|Fennekin}} evolutionary line, {{p|Nickit}}, and {{p|Thievul}}. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.
* Alolan Ninetales is one of the few Pokémon, along with {{p|Snom}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, and {{p|Frosmoth}}, that can be knocked out by [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] from full {{stat|HP}}. If Alolan Ninetales is switched in while three layers of {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and the effect of {{m|G-Max Steelsurge}} are present of its side of the field, the total damage will be 100% of its HP as long as its HP is divisible by four.

===Origin===
Ninetales is based on a {{wp|red fox}} and also the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese legend, which have many tails, extremely long lifespans, and can breathe fire. After living a long time, kitsune take on spirit forms, which may explain why Ninetales can learn {{type|Ghost}} moves. In particular, Ninetales is based on the 九尾の狐 ''kyūbi no kitsune'', a ''kitsune'' of advanced age whose fur has turned silver-gold, and, upon gaining its ninth tail, has gained powers equivalent to a deity, bearing omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience.

Alolan Ninetales seems to be based on the {{wp|Arctic fox}}. Its lore as a deity incarnation references the Hawaiian Goddess of snow {{wp|Poliʻahu}} who lives on {{wp|Hawaii (island)|Hawaii island}}, though traditionally she lives on {{wp|Mauna Kea}} rather than {{wp|Mauna Loa}}, where its location in ''Sun and Moon'' is based on.

====Name origin====
Ninetales is a combination of ''nine'' and ''tales'', which itself may combine ''tails'' and {{wp|fairy tale}}s, from the Japanese myth it is based on. It may also reference the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}} whip, which was historically used in military punishments.

Kyukon is a combination of 九 ''kyū'' (nine) and 恨 ''kon'' (grudge, from the curse it may cast on its foes), ''kon kon'' (the sound foxes make), コンロ ''konro'' ({{wp|gas stove}}), or ''ko'', an alternate reading of 狐 ''kitsune'' (fox). Alternatively, it can be read as 旧恨 ''kyūkon'' (old grudge).

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

Gengar has two other forms.
* It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gengar''' using the [[Gengarite]].
* It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Morty's Gengar]] floating in the air]]
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal Pokémon with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.

Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F (5°C), because it absorbs the warmth. [[EP023|The anime]] has shown that Gengar can fly and [[SM073|possess people]] and other Pokémon. In the past, {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]].
[[File:Gengar in shadow.png|thumb|250px|Gengar in {{Ash}}'s shadow]]

Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night.

As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.

Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into an another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.

As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple, and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.

Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them. Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Terror}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:094Gengar-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar]]

* Gengar is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first anime episode]] was based on, as well as the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]].
* Nidorino, along with Gengar (and, possibly, other Pokémon), originate from the old manga, [[Capsule Monsters]], which is considered the ancestor to the Pokémon franchise.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Gengar and its pre-evolved forms.
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the anime episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation.
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not a [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

===Origin===

Gengar seems to be based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being as well, like {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}'', a term for ghosts found in Scandinavian folklore.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Golem}} when [[trade]]d.

In [[Alola]], Geodude has a {{2t|Rock|Electric}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Alolan Golem when traded.

==Biology==
Geodude is a gray boulder Pokémon. It has bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal, brown eyes and a wide mouth. Its arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. It is proud of its sturdy body and will bash against others of its kind in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes. Eventually, it will be completely smooth and round. As a result of their physical appearance, {{p|Rhyperior}} mistake this Pokémon for actual boulders and fire them through their hands.

Geodude can be most often found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain trails and fields}}. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for a rock. It is often stepped on and will sometimes swing its arms in anger when this occurs. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

In the [[Alola]] region, Geodude is made from a magnetic rock with a more silvery appearance. There are areas on Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attract iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair. Its fingers are fused together, leaving only the thumb and index finger free. Stepping on Alolan Geodude results in an electrical shock and sometimes an angry headbutt. Like regular Geodude, it competes with others by bashing their bodies together. The iron sand sticks to the one with stronger magnetism. The Alolan {{p|Golem}} will fire these Geodude if real rocks are absent.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese game {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, Geodude [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld [[Generation I]] games.
* Alolan Geodude:
** has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
** along with its evolutionary relatives;
*** are the [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|only Pokémon]] with the [[type]] combination of {{t|Rock}} and Electric.
*** are the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have an Alolan Form.
*** were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].

===Origin===
Geodude is based on a living {{wp|Rock (geology)|rock}} or {{wp|boulder}}.

Alolan Geodude seems to have dark structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. Its {{t|Electric}} type may also be a pun on {{wp|thunderegg}}.

====Name origin====
Geodude may be a combination of the prefix ''[[Wiktionary:geo-|geo-]]'', from γῆ (gē), Greek for earth, and ''[[Wiktionary:dude|dude]]'', a slang word for a male. It may also be from ''{{wp|geode}}'', a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and ''dude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ''ishi'' (stone) and 礫 ''tsubute'' (throwing stones).
