'''Ting-Lu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディンルー''' ''Dinlu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Ting-Lu is a member of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]].

==Biology==
Ting-Lu is a Pokémon resembling a cloven-hoofed mammal such as a deer or moose. Its body is comprised of layered rock, ranging in color from dark brown to a light tan. Its head has several red markings, as well as small red eyes and what appears to be a {{wp|dewlap}} on its chin. Upon its head is a large cracked vessel, with several antler-like spikes jutting out from the rim.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Ting-Lu's true form is that of the ritual vessel on its head, having been given life by the fear of the humans that lived on Paldea thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over the earth. Ting-Lu is described as being able to create fissures over 160 feet deep by slamming its head into the ground.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Ting-Lu may be based on a {{wp|moose}} or an {{wp|elk}}. The vessel on its head is based on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'', an ancient Chinese cauldron that serve as a symbol of imperial authority, these vessels were sometimes decorated with a mask motif , eyes and a mouth called a {{wp|Taotie}} 饕餮 , which later became known as a ravenous beast often depicted with horns and one of the {{wp|Four Perils}}. Its goat like features somewhat resemble the Paoxiao, both the Taotie and Paoxiao consume people.

====Name origin====
Ting-Lu and Dinlu may be a combination of 鼎 ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|dǐng}}'' (ancient Chinese cauldron) and 鹿 ''lù'' (deer).

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Ting-Lu may be based on a {{wp|moose}} or an {{wp|elk}}. The vessel on its head is based on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'', an ancient Chinese cauldron that serve as a symbol of imperial authority, these vessels were sometimes decorated with a mask motif , eyes and a mouth called a {{wp|Taotie}} 饕餮 , which later became known as a ravenous beast often depicted with horns and one of the {{wp|Four Perils}}. Its goat like features somewhat resemble the Paoxiao, both the Taotie and Paoxiao are told to consume people.

====Name origin====
Ting-Lu and Dinlu may be a combination of 鼎 ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|dǐng}}'' (ancient Chinese cauldron) and 鹿 ''lù'' (deer).

'''Ting-Lu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディンルー''' ''Dinlu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Ting-Lu is a member of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]].

==Biology==
Ting-Lu is a Pokémon resembling a cloven-hoofed mammal such as a deer or moose. Its body is comprised of layered rock, ranging in color from dark brown to a light tan. Its head has several red markings, as well as small red eyes and what appears to be a {{wp|dewlap}} on its chin. Upon its head is a large cracked vessel, with several antler-like spikes jutting out from the rim.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Ting-Lu's true form is that of the ritual vessel on its head, having been given life by the fear of the humans that lived on Paldea thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over the earth. Ting-Lu is described as being able to create fissures over 160 feet deep by slamming its head into the ground.

'''Ting-Lu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディンルー''' ''Dinlu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

Along with {{p|Chien-Pao}}, {{p|Wo-Chien}}, and {{p|Chi-Yu}}, Ting-Lu is a member of the [[Legendary Pokémon#Treasures of Ruin|Treasures of Ruin]].

==Biology==
Ting-Lu is a Pokémon resembling a cloven-hoofed mammal such as a deer or moose. Its body is comprised of layered rock, ranging in color from dark brown to a light tan. Its head has several red markings, as well as small red eyes and what appears to be a {{wp|dewlap}} on its chin. Upon its head is a large cracked vessel, with several antler-like spikes jutting out from the rim.

Like the other Treasures of Ruin, Ting-Lu's true form is that of the ritual vessel on its head, having been given life by the fear of the humans that lived on Paldea thousands of years ago, its body being a form it has constructed using its control over the earth. Ting-Lu is described as being able to create fissures over 160 feet deep by slamming its head into the ground.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

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

==Biology==
Articuno is a large avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly sky blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.

Articuno has the power to control the ice at will. When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in [[EP189|the anime]], Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}} such as snowy mountains filled with permafrost.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a distinct appearance. The main body has lavender coloration with a black marking covering its chest. Its feet are black with lavender talons. The three feathers of its crest, which are longer, fused, and folded to the back, have the same purple color as its beak and tail. Its eyes glow light blue, appear to be mostly closed, and are surrounded by a black, mask-like facial disc. When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings.

{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire beams of psychic energy that leave its opponents stuck in place, as if frozen solid - this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality. It can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades congregating at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/</ref>

Galarian Articuno is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|250px|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
* {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[Legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Kantonian Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a [[OHKO]] move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Articuno is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon with a [[regional form]].
* Articuno, alongside the other two Legendary birds, had an Australian Beetle named after it, named [https://twitter.com/YHsiaoBeetle/status/1345310387059625985 Binburrum] [https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-entomologist/article/abs/contribution-to-the-knowledge-of-the-endemic-australian-genus-binburrum-pollock-1995-coleoptera-pyrochroidae-pilipalpinae-with-description-of-three-new-species/D9782DFAEEF63A38915484E7CD532F46 articuno].

===Origin===
Articuno may be based on the {{wp|Simurgh}}, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is a giant arctic bird. Its long tail and small body also may be a reference to the {{wp|quetzal}}. In addition, it is anatomically similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}.

Galarian Articuno has feathers reminiscent of a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}}. Its facial disc may also be inspired by owls. Its freezing glare may be reminiscent of a {{wp|Cockatrice}}, mythical bird monsters that turned beholders to stone.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

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

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

==Biology==
Articuno is a large avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly sky blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.

Articuno has the power to control the ice at will. When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in [[EP189|the anime]], Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}} such as snowy mountains filled with permafrost.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a distinct appearance. The main body has lavender coloration with a black marking covering its chest. Its feet are black with lavender talons. The three feathers of its crest, which are longer, fused, and folded to the back, have the same purple color as its beak and tail. Its eyes glow light blue, appear to be mostly closed, and are surrounded by a black, mask-like facial disc. When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings.

{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire beams of psychic energy that leave its opponents stuck in place, as if frozen solid - this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality. It can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades congregating at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/</ref>

Galarian Articuno is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|250px|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
* {{rf|Galarian}} Articuno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[Legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Kantonian Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a [[OHKO]] move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Articuno is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon with a [[regional form]].
* Articuno, alongside the other two Legendary birds, had an Australian Beetle named after it, named [https://twitter.com/YHsiaoBeetle/status/1345310387059625985 Binburrum] [https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/canadian-entomologist/article/abs/contribution-to-the-knowledge-of-the-endemic-australian-genus-binburrum-pollock-1995-coleoptera-pyrochroidae-pilipalpinae-with-description-of-three-new-species/D9782DFAEEF63A38915484E7CD532F46 articuno].

===Origin===
Articuno may be based on the {{wp|Simurgh}}, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is a giant arctic bird. Its long tail and small body also may be a reference to the {{wp|quetzal}}. In addition, it is anatomically similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}.

Galarian Articuno has feathers reminiscent of a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}}. Its facial disc may also be inspired by owls. Its freezing glare may be reminiscent of a {{wp|Cockatrice}}, mythical bird monsters who turned beholders to stone.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

'''Xatu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネイティオ''' ''Natio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Natu}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Xatu are green {{wp|condor}}-like Pokémon with long, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|red-and-black tipped white wings}} that cover most of the Pokémon's front. Underneath its wings are designs that resemble red-colored eyes. Along with its main green coloration, Xatu's designs have accentuations of black, yellow, and red. Notably, its head resembles much of its pre-evolution's round body, with the exception of a longer, slightly hooked beak and dual, longer feather crests. Xatu's feet have only two toes, one in front and one in back. Xatu's design is similar to a {{wp|totem pole}} or a {{wp|kachina doll}}.

====Gender differences====
A male has one extra set of yellow stripes.

===Special abilities===
Like most {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, it possess psychic abilities. However, its specialty is that it has the ability to see into the future with the right eye, and the past with the left.

===Behavior===
Xatu tend to stand still all day. Many theories have been thought up to explain this behavior. One such theory explains that it keeps seeing visions of the past and future, and that it doesn't move due to fears of these future visions coming true. Although unable to communicate telepathically one might understand its thoughts by looking at its {{wp|Flag semaphore|wings}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]

* Xatu's Silver, FireRed, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries state that it is involved in South American myths, which is a connection between the Pokémon world and [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|the real world]].
* The "eyes" on Xatu's wings were removed from its Crystal sprite, making it one of the few Pokémon to have different sprites for each of the [[Generation II]] games.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|Resplendent Quetzal}} with design elements from a {{wp|Native American}} {{wp|totem}} or {{wp|Kachina}}. Behavior wise it displays the ancient art of Sun Gazing, a form of spiritual meditation practiced by the Aztec and Mayan in the belief it would give them supernatural power referenced by the fact that Xatu is part psychic.

====Name origin====
Xatu may derive from ''X'' (as in ''exotic'', referring to its appearance) and ''{{wp|Atu}}'' (the first man in Samoan mythology).

Natio may be a corruption of ''native''.

===Origin===
Gothorita is based on a young girl dressed in the {{wp|gothic lolita}} fashion. Considering its connection to stars, it slightly resembles the constellation of {{wp|Scorpius}}. It levitating the two orbs on its arms like a scale is a possible allusion to {{wp|Libra}}.

====Name origin====
Gothorita may be a combination of ''goth'' and ''señorita'' (Spanish for the title of ''miss'') or a corruption of ''{{wp|gothic lolita}}''.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal felid Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang symbol.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Using its horn, Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster. The sickle that protrudes from an Absol's head is sharp enough to cut clean slices through metal and rock.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe. Absol tend to be quiet and observant Pokémon. They often carry an air of intelligence and serenity about them, though some can become violent and ill-willed if mistreated. Absol can be extremely vicious adversaries in battle and are known to deal attacks with flawless precision.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Izabe Island Absol.png|right|219px|thumb|Absol in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil, and helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

The Disaster Pokémon made its first anime appearance in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol owned by [[Mollie]] appeared in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'' She used it in a {{pkmn|Contest}} where it battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol made a brief cameo in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although several of Absol's Pokédex entries claim that it can sense disaster, it cannot have the abilites {{a|Anticipation}} or {{a|Forewarn}}.
** It can however learn {{m|Future Sight}}
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
**Similarly, in Pokémon Black and White, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers and [[Unova Route 13|Route 13]], 13 being an unlucky number.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|White|white color group}}.
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. A less likely theory is that it may be derived from the white {{wp|Chamois|chamois}}, a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims to represent the embodiment of death and if should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol may derive from 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous), or it may be a combination of ''Ab'' (prefix meaning away or departure) and ''sol'' (Latin for ''sun''), referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It may also be a shortening of ''absolution'' or ''absolve'', referring to that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. It may also derive from ''Absalom'', a name which is said to bring bad luck, according to in Jewish tradition.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon.

It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, starting at [[level]] 20, and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and the player has an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}. An extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja's body is based on an insect's shed exoskeleton. Therefore, its body is completely hollow (it possesses no internal organs). The shell consists of chitin and is entirely incapable of movement. As it is the shed shell of a fully developed {{p|Ninjask}}, it has a similar shape to the latter. Shedinja's entire body is brown in color; the abdomen is of a darker shade. There are four protrusions where Ninjask's limbs were growing. What appears to be its eyes are actually slits; perhaps formerly for the Ninjask the shell housed to look through. Shedinja has one pair of what appear to be tattered "wings" on its back, which is actually where the exoskeleton was torn by Ninjask to break free of the shell. Between its "wings" there is a hole, out of which the Ninjask escaped. Each "wing" divides into three smaller pieces. These "wings" actually don't perform any function, as Shedinja's body is immobile and levitates. Two horizontal lines circle its abdomen. A white halo constantly floats above its head.

====Gender differences====
Shedinja is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, the human's soul will be stolen. This rumor was never mentioned in the anime.

Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to due to its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Wonder Guard}}. However, any direct damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to or any form of indirect damage will always knock it out.

===Behavior===
Shedinja appear to be wise and intelligent Pokémon. They are also very quiet and stealthy, like a Ninja. They are protective over Ninjask but otherwise very little is known about them. Being a mere husk, Shedinja displays odd traits such as in the mystery dungeon games the need to eat (although this may just be for game purposes) and is suspectable to the sleep status may imply that it does require rest.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Shedinja probably live in forests, anywhere where there are Nincada and Ninjask and many other bug Pokémon.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Hansen Shedinja.png|thumb|right|210px|Shedinja in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Shedinja made its debut appearance in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. It also appeared in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
It has made a number of cameo appearances in some [[Pokémon Contest]]s, such as in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG044|Shedinja|May's Pokédex|Shedinja, the Shed Pokémon. Shedinja possesses a hard, powerful body, giving it {{a|Wonder Guard|strong defenses}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
Shedinja first appeared when [[Aqua Admin Amber]], having been deprived of his Pokémon after being abandoned by [[Archie]], borrows a Nincada from his comrade [[Shelly]], which then immediately evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}, putting [[Wattson]] in quite a pinch with the incredible speed it gained by the minute. Although the old Gym leader eventually managed to defeat it, a Shedinja formed from the shell Ninjask shed and attacked him from behind, sending him sinking into the ocean.

Several more volumes down the line, both {{adv|Emerald}} and {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} used Shedinja to exploit its Wonder Guard ability, as well as the fact that it has one base HP, requiring no items to resuscitate itself.

==Trivia==
* A [[Poké Ball]] is removed from the [[bag]] upon obtaining a Shedinja through evolution. The Poké Ball must be a basic Poké Ball.
** A Poké Ball is not needed to obtain Shedinja in the [[Generation III]] games, where it copies the ball Nincada was in. This is the only legitimate way to get a Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base stat total of all fully evolved Pokémon.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon, other than [[baby Pokémon]], to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.
* A Shedinja that appears upon the evolution of a Nincada will not be nicknamed. After Generation III, its Poké Ball will always be the normal kind. Its IVs and EVs are inherited by the creating Nincada, as are its OT and ID numbers. In Generation III, its Poké Ball is inherited from Nincada.
* Due to its ability, Shedinja has the most immunities out of all Pokémon, with 12.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 236.
* Prior to Generation V, if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but only the ones learned at the same level. In Generation V, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution.
* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn egg moves. However, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} could also learn moves via breeding in Gold and Silver.
* Shedinja and {{p|Froslass}} are the only two Ghost types that evolve from a Pokémon that isn't a Ghost type.
* Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game.

===1 HP trivia===
* Shedinja has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} and its base HP stat is also the lowest base stat number of all Pokémon. Due to its 1 HP, Shedinja has many unique characteristics:
** Shedinja is the only Pokémon whose HP {{IV}} and base stat cannot be determined, due to it always having the same amount of HP. To figure out a Shedinja's HP IV, one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it.
** Shedinja is the only Pokémon who cannot gain any additional HP {{EV}}s.
*** Shedinja gives 2 EVs in HP when defeated in battle, despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon.
** In [[Generation IV]], it cannot take damage from {{status|Poison}} outside of battle, and in [[Generation III]], it cannot survive any damage from it.
** Despite it being able to learn {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Rest}}, they will always fail.
*** Shedinja can still be under the effects of {{m|Substitute}} if given one through {{m|Baton Pass}}.
** Since Shedinja has only one {{stat|HP}}, its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats normally have no purpose in battle. However, if Shedinja receives a {{m|Substitute}} through {{m|Baton Pass}}, its Defense and Special Defense are factored into damage the Substitute takes. Shedinja's Defense and Special Defense stats are also used when a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on a Shedinja, and when Shedinja uses {{m|Power Trick}} via {{m|Mimic}}.
** Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has its HP restored to maximum when leveled up with a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} or revived with a {{DL|Revive|Revive}}.
** Shedinja's {{m|Final Gambit}} will always do 1 HP damage to an opponent.
** Shedinja is the only fully evolved Pokémon that has lower base stat total than its {{p|Nincada|pre-evolved form}}, due to its HP base stat of 1.
** if Shedinja is struck when holding a Focus sash the item will be consumed and leave it at full HP

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nincada, Ninjask and Shedinja}}
It is based on the {{wp|Exuvia|shed husk}} that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults. It may also be based on a guardian angel, due to the halo-like object floating above its head. Its ability {{a|Wonder Guard}} probably alludes to this.

====Name origin====
Shedinja's name is a combination of ''shed'', casting off skin or exoskeleton, and ''{{wp|ninja}}''.

''Nukenin'' is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'', casting off skin, and 忍者 ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

Grass (type)

Frosslass:

{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]], and [[Cilan]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Grass-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

===Offense===

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. And the ones that have no drawbacks are rarely known. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses, and as a final nail on the coffin the ability {{a|Sap Sipper}} not only makes this type useless but also raises one of the foes stats.

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 75 Grass-type Pokémon or 11.56% of all Pokémon, making it the fourth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
* Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Tamagetake}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat Green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** Coincidentally, they are both based on fungi instead of plants.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]], and [[Cilan]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Grass-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==

===Defense===

Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

===Offense===

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. And the ones that have no drawbacks are rarely known. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses, and as a final nail on the coffin the ability {{a|Sap Sipper}}not only makes this type useless but also raises one of the foes stats.

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 75 Grass-type Pokémon or 11.56% of all Pokémon, making it the fourth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.
* Grass has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Tamagetake}} families are the only Grass type Pokémon that aren't at least somewhat Green, or do not evolve to or from a Pokémon or have a shiny or alternate form that is.
** Coincidentally, they are both based on fungi instead of plants.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Absol is a quadrupedal mammal-like Pokémon. Its dark blue to gray body is covered in white fur, with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. It has a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle-shaped growth on the side of its head. Its body is sleek and feline-like, making it well suited for its life in the mountains. Its broad, circular feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. Its head resembles a Yin-Yang.

====Gender differences====
None

====Special abilities====
Absol is able to predict when a natural disaster will occur, and tries to warn people when one is approaching. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster.

===Behavior===
It sharply senses even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict natural disasters. Although Absol rarely venture down into areas inhabited by humans, when they do it is to warn people of the impending catastrophe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Absol tend to live in mountainous regions and forests far away from people.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Absol M06.png|right|250px|thumb|Absol in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'']]
===Major appearances===
Absol first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. The Disaster Pokémon showed up to take {{p|Jirachi}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't the true villain of the movie. It was Butler, because he wanted to forcibly extract Jirachi's power to create a {{p|Groudon}}.

The Disaster Pokémon also appeared in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. {{Ash}} and friends (along with a boy named [[Nicky]]) went out to search whether or not the accusations were true. They found out that the Absol were actually warning the town about a flood.

[[Drew]] captured and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]], as seen in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''

===Minor appearances===
An Absol appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', captured by the evil [[Pokémon Hunter|Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}} and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}} got stolen. The Absol was returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Advanced|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
An Absol appears in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. It first appears to {{adv|Ruby}}, who shudders in fear immediately. Absol is also present in the feud between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Like in the anime, Absol is accused of bringing disaster.

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

==In the TFG==
One Absol figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Absol|8}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: An Absol trails the rescue team around the [[Frosty Forest]] and confronts them after the defeat of {{p|Articuno}}. Absol is initially suspicious of the Pokémon but eventually decides to join the rescue team and helps in the journey up [[Mt. Freeze]].

==Trivia==
* Despite Pokédex entries which state it can sense calamities, it cannot have the ability {{a|Anticipation}}, nor can it have the ability {{a|Forewarn}}.
* Absol has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Pokémon which is not a part of an evolutionary family.
* Absol is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Psycho Cut}} by level that is not a {{type2|Psychic}} itself.
* It is interesting to note that Absol appears on [[Mount Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to [[Spear Pillar]] for {{v2|Platinum}}'s climax, where a disaster is about to occur.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol learns the most variations of {{m|Slash}} of any Pokémon (barring {{p|Smeargle}}). In addition to Slash itself, it can learn {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} and {{m|Shadow Claw}}. The only variation Absol cannot learn is {{m|Cross Poison}}.
* Absol is the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}, though it often appears in legends.
* As of [[Generation V]], Absol is the only {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by color#White|white color category]].
* Absol learns the most moves of all non-Legendary Pokémon: 78.
* In Pokémon Ranger, Absol deals the most damage to the Styler, at 6, even over Metagross.

===Origin===
Absol is most likely based on the Bai Ze of Chinese mythology, also known as the {{wp|kutabe}} or hakutaku. It is generally described as a white beast that can take the form of a large mountainous lion, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. They also are said to sometimes have an extra eye on their head or back. This "eye" could also be the middle symbol that appears on Absol's forehead. Absol's head is modeled after a {{wp|Yin and yang|Taijitu ("yin-yang")}}.
The Bai Ze (kutabe) predicted that a plague would sweep through the Toyama Prefecture of Japan. It is considered to be intelligent, and gifted with the ability to understand human speech. This would also match the fact of Absol's independence, habitat, and body seeing to be reminiscent of a {{wp|mountain lion|cougar}} and its independent nature. It may be also be based on the {{wp|black cat}} superstition. Another theory is that it may be derived from the {{wp|Chamois|chamois}} a mountain dwelling goat like animal of which local superstition claims that should any hunter harm one, would die within the year.

====Name origin====
Absol's name may be derived from 物騒 ''bussō'', dangerous, but much debate exists over the true origin of its name. One common theory is that it is a combination of ''ab-'', a prefix meaning away/from, and ''sol'', meaning sun, referring to its {{type2|Dark}} nature. It could also be a shortened form of "absolution" or "absolve", referring to the fact that while Absol foretells disasters, it does not cause them, thereby absolving it of guilt. Its name may also come from "Absalom", a name which, in Jewish tradition, is said to bring bad luck.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Absol
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 앱솔 ''Absol''

== Editing Page Sections ==

Rather than editing pages a single section at a time, please use the "Edit this page" link at the top of the page to edit everything at once. That way you don't have to make so many edits in a short time to a single page. Thank you! [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 03:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Umm... why did you delete my edit on Gothimu's trivia? you did not agree that they have similar pokedex entries? [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 04:50, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

== Bad mood on editinhg ==

I'm really mad today with all the editing. I just feel like I want to kill myself. WHAT DID I DO?[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 04:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Don't get discouraged, you'll get the hang of the "right" way to do things before long, so long as you learn from your mistakes. :) No one can be expected to get everything right the first time. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 04:18, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Just a grammar thing ==

Whenever you are referring to more than one of the same Pokémon, the plural form is still just the name. No s. There were two Darumakka. Several Mankey were in the tree. Do you think you can remember this? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 10:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Secret Power ==

Pardon me, I'm no one of real importance here but I just wanted to make a suggestion that perhaps you should use the Preview button? You seem to be having a hard time editing the {{m|Secret Power}} page, so perhaps rather than saving every edit, just have a preview to keep from clogging the recent changes. :) [[User:Jo The Marten|Jo The Marten]] 13:03, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

== Okay ==

Not to be mean, but your trivia edits are less than satisfactory. Some of your entries are either incorrect or don't make any sense. I don't know if it's because you worded it poorly or what. In the case of Yuniran, you put that it has the highest base Sp Attack of '''all''' Pokémon. Yet when I look at it's evolutions' pages, they clearly have a higher base Sp Attack than it does. Maybe you were trying to say it has the highest base Sp Attack of all '''base-level''' Pokémon.

Also, you should avoid using words like ''strangely''. They look unprofessional and opinionated.

Please choose your wording more carefully and make sure that it correct before you submit it. Thanks. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

Kyurem is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon.

Kyurem is the third of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kyurem is a gray and blue colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconian basis. Kyurem has a unique blue head and snout and has yellow eyes, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Its face has a bit of resemblance to {{p|Giratina}} right down to its jaws. Kyurem's neck is long and gray in color with lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. Kyurem has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its blue oddly shaped wings, believed to be used for flying as well as storing cold air. Each of its wings are oddly proportioned and have two icicles each. Its legs are somewhat slender unlike {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} and its tail has four blue icicle-shaped spikes on its tip.

====Gender differences====
Kyurem is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Kyurem can store powerful cold air onto its wings and tail and breathe with it, but it will also freeze itself in the process. Its believed to can unleash several blizzards and hailstorms and also can freeze its surroundings in a flash, referencing to its [[signature move]], {{m|Frozen World}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Kyurem lives in the dark depths of the Giant Hole in the Unova region.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
An old legend in [[Kagome Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them. It is unknown how much credence there is to this story, however.

==Trivia==

* No other Pokémon has the same [[elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Kyurem.
** Kyurem is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon introduced in Generation V which isn't a pure Ice-type.
* No other Pokémon has the same base stat total as Kyurem.
** Additionally, Kyurem is the only Pokémon with a base stat total over 600 but less than 670.
* Kyurem has the highest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon, as well as the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of that type, tied with {{p|Mamoswine}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, respectively.
* Kyurem is the only [[Generation V]] [[legendary Pokémon]] that has {{a|Pressure}} as its [[ability]].
*Despite being a legendary Ice type it cannot learn Sheer cold

===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. Appearance wise, like Zekrom, it seems to be based off a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem's name may be derived from 急冷 ''kyuurei'' (rapid cooling, 冷 ''rei'' meaning "cold") or ゆき ''yuki'' (雪, snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed. May also be from 零 ''rei'' (zero) and 無 ''mu'' (nothing).

==Third version==
Before anyone else decides to talk about it, yeah, I'm pretty much gonna guarantee it being the mascot of BW's third version. No further discussion on this. Until we get the announcement and boxart. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
:Unfair. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_unique_type_combinations&action=historysubmit&diff=1189335&oldid=1189330 I already did that].--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

What will be the name of the third game?
- Pokémon White Version Reshiram
- Pokémon Black Version Zekrom
- Pokémon Grey Version Kyurem

It could be, don't ya think?Sakas 19:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)SakasFixe
:Didn't TTE just say "no further discussion on this"? That's speculation and belongs on the forums, not here. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

You are bad for people. You want something related to "discussion" you'll have it: Where is the Official artwork of Ken Sugimori? Happy? {{unsigned|SakasFixe}}
:There is no Sugimori artwork yet for the non-pre-release Pokemon. But that doesn't belong here on Kyurem's talk. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 22:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

==Norse==
"It may also be based on the {{wp|Wyvern}} of {{wp|Norse}} mythology, said to wreck havoc in {{wp|Ragnarök}}, the end of the world, should it melt from the ice it was imprisoned in."

That's what I've been told. Anyone able to confirm/dismiss that? {{unsigned|Yurtablemoron}}

That's basically what Reshiram is (minus the ice) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the norsh myth theory also perhaps it has connections to Fimbulvetr? The harsh winter where men will wage ceaseless war against each other
and brothers will kill each other= the two brothers using Regish and Zec sound plausible? [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 12:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

==Overworld Sprite==
I don't think this sentence in the physiology section is necessary: "It should be noted that on its overworld sprite, the left part of its overall bodyparts is somehow broken and smaller than the right part." The smaller part is correct, sure, but it isn't broken--it's just smaller because of the perspective. Same goes for its forward-facing battle sprite. At the very least, "overall bodyparts" should be changed to just "body." [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 03:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Feelings? ==

Out of curiosity, how is Kyurem a "Feelings Pokémon"? I think that 境界 ''kyoukai'' (boundary) would make more sense than 胸懐 ''kyoukai'' (heart/feelings). Though, there's the possibility that "Kyoukai" could be from 鏡 ''kyou'' (mirror) and 灰 ''kai'' (gray/grey/ash/griseous). [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 08:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:The in-game description, according to Veekun, is きょうかい . Compare it to Reshiram's はくよう (white yang) and Zekrom's こくいん (black yin), and we may find something. [[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 06:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

== Kyurem Origin ==

As Zekrom and Reshiram are both based on types of energy, is it possible that Kyurem is based on {{wp|Cold Fusion}}? --[[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 07:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sigh... Cold Fusion has nothing to do with ice. It's a theoretical variation on a typical fusion reaction which can be done at or near ROOM TEMPERATURE. I removed this origin already, but it keeps getting added. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 10:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Kyurem's Tail Resembles..... ==
- Reshiram's Tail resembles a Jet Engine
- Zekrom's Tail resembles an Electric Generator

But we still don't know what Kyurem's tail looks like. Any ideas?[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 02:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Gochimiru's Black Pokédex entry is noteworthy because of its apparent behavior of hypnotizing people and "stealing them away", which is also a trait shared by {{p|Hypno|another Psychic-type}}. Despite of that, it cannot learn {{m|Hypnosis}}.
* Gochimiru's evolutionary line seems to be parallel to Daburan's evolutionary line:
** They are both pure Psychic-types.
** They are second evolution in 3-staged evolutionary line.
** They are version exclusives.
** They are both evolving from their pre-evolutions at level 32 and evolving into their final evolutions at level 41.
*** The only difference they have, while their pre-evolutions and evolutions don't, is different base stat total - while their pre-evolutions have the same (290) and they evolutions do as well (490), Daburan and Gochimiru has different base stat total - while Gochimiru has 390, Daburan has 370.
===Origin===
Gochimiru is based on a young girl dressed in the {{wp|gothic lolita}} fashion and considering its connection to stars it slightly resembles the constellation of scorpio.

'''Petal Dance''' (Japanese: '''はなびらのまい''' ''Petal Dance'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Gloom}} in this Generation.

==Effect==
===Generation I-II===
Petal Dance inflicts damage for 2 to 3 turns (chosen at random). Once selected, even if it misses, the user will only be able to use Petal Dance, and will not be able to switch out. At the end of this duration, the user will become {{status|Confusion|confused}}.

If the Petal Dance duration is disrupted, such as by full {{status|paralysis}} or by hurting itself due to confusion, it will immediately end. The user will only become confused if Petal Dance is fully executed, without its duration being disrupted. {{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, partial trapping, and {{status|flinch}}ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Petal Dance.

In Stadium, after the duration of Petal Dance ends, there will be a notice that the user becomes confused.

This move has a power of 70 and has 20 PP.

===Generation III===
The move remains the same. However, in [[double battle]]s its target is a randomly selected enemy.

===Generation IV===
The power of Petal Dance [[List of moves that changed in attack power|increases]] to 90. All other effects are the same.

===Generation V===
The power of Petal Dance [[List of moves that changed in attack power|increases]] to 120, and its PP is reduced to 10. All other effects are the same.

It look's like an [[Unknown (Pokémon)|Unknown]]. Any information if it is an evolution of one? [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] 06:42, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
:It's not. None of the Gen V Pokémon are related to older ones. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 06:43, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
It's based on the Nazca Lines, as mentioned in the article. Should it specify that it's based on the hummingbird-shaped Nazca Line?--[[User:Shinbora|Shinbora]] 06:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

:Well that makes sense, thanks for explaining. [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] 06:50, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
Has the part about it's connection with the unown proven? If not it should be taken out. I think this is simmilar to the Cubone and Khangaskhan theory because there is no known evidence of the conection. I say we leave it out until it is confirmed. --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 16:48, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... No mention of Xatu?
they are the same type and are inspired from ancient civilizations... [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 07:02, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

== Shin? ==

Shin as in deity. Anything 'bout bora?--[[User talk:444Zekrom|444]][[User:444Zekrom|Z]][[Zekrom|ekrom]] 14:19, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:This is highly likly to be where it came from. {{wp|Bora (wind)}} --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 20:39, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Possible name origin ==

Could the name have come from the word shinboraizu (Symbolise)? This only makes sense because Shinbora is based on the Nazca lines which are basicly giant symbols in the ground.--'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 20:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:It's just "Symboler" written in katakana.--[[User:Shinbora|Shinbora]] 01:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
::Actualy it might be more than that. If you look at the "Shin?" part of this talk page I found that along with the word shin (deity), bora is actualy the name of a spicific wind, and could also have derived from the name of the greek figure Boreas. --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 01:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

'''Torkoal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コータス''' ''Cotoise'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Torkoal are small, tortoise-like Pokémon with large black rock-like shells with "holes" that glow with a red warmth. Their skin is a reddish brown in color with gray-black bands on their legs and neck. They have long necks and their eyes seem permanently closed. They are usually depicted blowing out smoke from their nostrils and the tops of their backs.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Like many fire Pokémon, it has a place inside its body where it keeps its fire. This system is powered by burning coal. Torkoal are notably more physically defensive then most other {{t|fire}} types. Which is further boosted by supportive moves like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
Torkoal is the only known Pokémon to have the {{a|White Smoke}} ability.

===Behavior===
Torkoal are usually calm if left undisturbed. If angered, they belch black smoke from the burning coal inside their shells and flee.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Torkoal lives in mountains near volcanoes in search of coal.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

This Pokémon feeds mostly on coal for internal combustion. It fills hollow spaces on its shell with the coal and burns it to generate energy.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash_Torkoal.png|175px|right|thumb|[[Ash's Torkoal]] crying.]]
Torkoal was first seen in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]'' under the ownership of [[Lavaridge Town]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Flannery]].

Three episodes later, in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play]]'', the {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon of the [[Valley of Steel]] were picking on [[Ash's Torkoal|a wild Torkoal]] which, after helping it defeat a {{p|Steelix}}, {{Ash}} then captured.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG055|Torkoal|Ash's Pokédex|Torkoal, the Coal Pokémon. Torkoal burns coal within its body to produce energy. As a defense, Torkoal is able to smoke from its nostrils and its back to confuse enemies.}}

==Trivia==
* Torkoal is the only non-legendary Fire-type with no evolutionary relatives.
* Despite being based on a tortoise, it is unable to breed with other tortoise and turtle Pokémon like {{p|Blastoise}} or {{p|Torterra}}, since it belongs to a different [[egg group]].
* Torkoal is the only {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to learn a {{type2|Water}} move by level up—{{m|Withdraw}}.
* Torkoal has the highest defense of all Fire-types.
* Although it is said to belch black smoke, its artwork and sprites shows Torkoal blowing white.
** Also, its ability is {{a|White Smoke}}.
*** However black smoke can bee seen in console games and to a lesser extent SmokeScreen
* {{zw|Heatoise}}, a mini-boss from the ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda series}}'', shares some similarities to Torkoal. They are both designed after tortoises, and both specialize in Fire.

===Origin===
Torkoal is essentially a {{wp|tortoise}} with a {{wp|furnace}} within its shell.

====Name origin====
Torkoal's name is a combination of ''tortoise'' or ''torch'' and ''{{wp|coal}}''.

''Cotoise'' appears to also be a combination of these words, albeit in a different order.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Qurtel
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chartor - From ''charbon'' (coal) and ''tortue'' (tortoise).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 코터스 ''Cotoise''

Wouldn't Torkoal be a Red-footed tortoise (Jabuti)? Or is it just a regular tortoise? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:KurowaSanCKurowaSan]] ([[User talk:KurowaSan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/KurowaSan|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:It is a regular tortoise. It's red because it's a Fire-type. A green tortoise wouldn't look like it can breath fire. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 21:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Can someone edit the move tutor part to add back the move {{m|Earth Power}}?

{{StrategyWiki|Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大乱闘|だいらんとう}}スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Great Fray Smash Brothers X'') is the third installment of the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, released on the [[Wii]] in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various [[Nintendo]] video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, the [[Wii|Wii Remote]] alone, the [[Wii|Nunchuck + Remote]] control scheme, and the [[Wii|Wii Classic Controller]]. Non-Nintendo characters {{wp|Solid Snake}} and {{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}} are also featured in the game.

Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called ''[[Final Smash]]''. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called [[The Subspace Emissary]]. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.

The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, 13 more than Melee. {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Jigglypuff}} return as playable [[Pokémon]] but {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Volt Tackle}} and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Puff Up}}.

A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whose character design is based on the Generation III {{ga|Red}}. He appears in the background and directs his Pokémon to do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, [[Pokémon Change]]. Squirtle knows {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}; Ivysaur knows {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}; and Charizard knows {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Fly}}, and {{m|Rock Smash}}. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

The other new playable character in the game is {{p|Lucario}}, who was accidentally revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches, or meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Aura Storm}}.

The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] and [[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Generation IV]] Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.

Frosslass:

'''Happiness''' is a measurement of how much a Pokémon loves its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care, a few species will only evolve if so. As a full feature, it was introduced in [[Generation II]]. Happiness also determines the power of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}.

==Generation I==
A prototype of the happiness system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive, however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pokémon|started with]].

Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its Poké Ball, the player can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its happiness in a small window that appears. At maximum happiness, Pikachu will jump up and down before the window appears.

Like later games, Pikachu's happiness will rise when it gains a level. If its Trainer uses an item on Pikachu, its happiness will also rise, even if it is an item that has no effect on Pikachu (such as a [[Potion]] at full HP). In this manner, Pikachu is much easier to make happy than Pokémon in future generations.

Pikachu's happiness drops if it is put into [[Bill's PC]] or faints. Trading it to another game will reset its happiness to 0.

Happiness is not recorded for any other Pokémon in Generation I, while the happiness of Pikachu does not affect much: the only real effect it has is whether or not [[Melanie]] will give {{p|Bulbasaur}} away in [[Cerulean City]], which she will only do if its happiness is 147 or higher.

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]] the happiness system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the happiness of any Pokémon owned by the Trainer. Like before, it is a single byte with a value between 0 and 255.

Happiness is set when a Pokémon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pokémon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pokémon is traded from another game. When a Pokémon is hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, its value is set to 120. If a Pokémon is captured in a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Friend Ball]], rather than any other kind, its happiness is set to 200 instead.

Another function was given to happiness in Generation II, the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present, with new Pokémon which evolve through happiness being introduced in each generation. Happiness-based evolutions occur when a Pokémon's happiness is 220 or higher.

Unlike in Generation I, happiness will not increase if an item that cannot be used is used on a Pokémon: for example, using [[HP Up]]s on a Quilava which already has the maximum HP it can have will not result in raised happiness.

However, some things, though frequently reported, aren't part of the Generation II modifier. The following are things that do not affect a Pokémon's happiness, either positively or negatively:
*Putting a Pokémon in Bill's PC
*Healing the Pokémon when weak and injured
*Giving a Pokémon a hold item
*Using a Pokémon in battles
*Winning battles with a Pokémon
*Letting a Pokémon's HP fall to critical status
*Letting your Pokémon get a status condition like Paralysis
*Walking when your Pokémon has a status condition

==Generation III==
Happiness in [[Generation III]] works much the same as before, however, additions were made to happiness-altering events. If a Pokémon is caught in a [[Luxury Ball]], all happiness-raising events will rise by one point more, while happiness-lowering events are not affected. Likewise, a Pokémon holding a [[Soothe Bell]] will also rise by one additional point per happiness-raising event. These effects stack on each other, meaning a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball holding a Soothe Bell gets two additional points per event.

Pokémon now have a base happiness per species; however, most catchable Pokémon have the standard 70 points as their starting level.

==Generation IV==
Happiness in [[Generation IV]] is much the same as it is in [[Generation III]], though the conditions are altered slightly. The Luxury Ball now causes a Pokémon to have a separate rise in happiness than Pokémon in other Balls.

In [[Eterna City]], a girl in the [[Pokémon Center]] will give away a [[Pokétch]] app that shows how much the Pokémon in the player's [[party]] like the player. Maximum happiness is represented by two big hearts.

In [[Hearthome City]], a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] will rate a Pokémon's happiness in a standardized manner similar to previous generations.

[[Dr. Footstep]], the sole resident of the Footstep House on {{rt|213}}, will also tell a Pokémon's happiness, albeit in a roundabout way which differs among Pokémon species. At maximum happiness, he will give the Pokémon in question a [[ribbon]].

===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
Happiness also has a slight effect in the second Ranger game. The [[Partner Pokémon]] can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is happy, black musical notes come out of it. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is very happy. This may happen whether or not it is with the player. This condition increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up.

==Evolutions==
Several Pokémon evolve when their happiness level is at or above 220:

==Happiness raters==
Happiness raters are different [[NPC]]s that may be talked to to indicate the happiness of the first Pokémon in the player's party. Some will give away certain items depending on the happiness, while others just tell how happy the Pokémon is.

*[[Verdanturf Town]], in the house in the south of the town.
*[[Pacifidlog Town]], Once every seven days, gives away one of either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100).
*[[Pallet Town]], at Rival's house, [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] will judge a Pokémon's happiness. ([[Generation III]] only)
*[[Hearthome City]], in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]].

In addition, the [[Pokétch]] App, Friend Checker, will display a Pokémon's happiness on a scale of one to two small or big hearts.

== Trivia ==
*The only [[regional Pokédex]] that contained all Pokémon that evolve by happiness at the time was the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|old Johto Pokédex]]. Neither the Hoenn Pokédex nor Sinnoh Pokédex (before or after the expansion) contain all happiness-evolvers as of their respective generation, with the Sinnoh Pokédex excluding only {{p|Igglybuff}} and its family.

'''Bugsy''' (Japanese: '''ツクシ''' ''Tsukushi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Azalea Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Azalea Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Hive}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Bug}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Bugsy.jpg|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Bugsy from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Bugsy appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Azalea Gym]]. He is the second Gym Leader to be challenged in each of the games, although he cannot be fought until [[Team Rocket]] has been driven out of the [[Slowpoke Well]].

Because of his research on {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, Bugsy's knowledge makes him an authority on them. He even discovered the move {{m|Fury Cutter}}, which is the signature move on his {{p|Scyther}}. This research has led to his given title, "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". He claims to never lose when it comes to Bug Pokémon, but—once defeated by the player—will admit his research isn't yet finished. Upon defeat he will hand out the {{badge|Hive}}, and a {{type2|Bug}} Technical Machine: {{tm|49|Fury Cutter}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{tm|89|U-turn}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Like all other Johto and Kanto Gym Leaders, Bugsy will leave his Gym from time to time. Every Thursday, Bugsy travels to [[Viridian Forest]] where he will hand out his [[PokéGear]] phone number to fellow travelers all day. From here he will progress to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and, on Thursday afternoons, accept a rematch with a stronger team.

Bugsy also has a room in the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. This is the only time he will use Pokémon not of the Bug-type.

===Quotes===

''"I'm Bugsy! I never lose when it comes to bug Pokémon. My research is going to make me the authority on bug Pokémon! Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."''

''"Whoa, amazing! You're an expert on Pokémon! My research isn't complete yet. Ok, you win. Take this Badge."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Bugsy anime.png|right|200px|thumb|Bugsy in the anime]]
Bugsy's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP144|Gettin' the Bugs Out]]''.

Bugsy trains in a large, greenhouse-like Gym filled with trees and bugs. He has an affinity for Bug-type Pokémon.

His {{p|Scyther}} can use {{m|Swords Dance}} to deflect {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, {{Ash}} figured out it was vulnerable from above, and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} was able to knock it out, winning Ash the Hive Badge.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Bugsy's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:
{{trainerpkmn|note=h|main=no|Bugsy|Spinarak|{{bug color}}|Bugsy Spinarak.png|{{p|Spinarak}} is the first Pokémon Bugsy used in his match against {{Ash}}, saying that it's one of his strongest Pokémon in his arsenal. It battled against {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and almost won with its {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Poison Sting}} attacks, since Cyndaquil couldn't get its flame started. Eventually, Ash recalled Cyndaquil and sent out {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}} instead, despite the type disadvantage. Spinarak and Chikorita kept dodging each other's attacks, until Ash told Chikorita to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, enabling it to {{m|Tackle}} Spinarak and win the round.}}
{{trainerpkmn|note=|main=no|Bugsy|Metapod|{{bug color}}|Bugsy Metapod.png|Bugsy's second choice for his battle with Ash was {{p|Metapod}}. Metapod used {{m|Harden}} several times to resist Chikorita's attacks, and then surprised Ash by being able to jump and {{m|Tackle}} Chikorita. Ash decided to use {{AP|Pikachu}}, and after dodging many more attacks, Pikachu managed to attack Metapod with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and win.}}
{{trainerpkmn|note=f|main=no|Bugsy|Scyther|{{bug color}}|Scyther1.JPG|The final and most powerful of Bugsy's Pokémon was {{p|Scyther}}. It defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily with a powerful {{m|Slash}} attack.

Scyther proved to be an exceptional fighter as it can hold its own against {{type2|Fire}}s by using {{m|Swords Dance}} to counter fire attacks. Using this technique, it almost defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] by deflecting all of its fire attacks. Thanks to Ash's strategy, Cyndaquil gained the upper hand. Instead of attacking horizontally, it jumped above {{p|Scyther}} and used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Scyther was unable to defend itself from the attack and it was knocked out of the battle.

It is voiced by [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] in the Japanese version and by [[Eric Stuart]] in the English dub.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Bugsy Special.png|thumb|Bugsy in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Bugsy is a ruins explorer. He meets {{adv|Gold}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]], who at first mistakes the Gym Leader for a girl and asks him out on a date. When he reveals he is a boy he tells Gold that he is looking for his missing companions who were helping him study the ruins. The two of them then run into Team Rocket and accidently awaken the Unown. After being cornered by a Spinarak's Spider Web Explotaro used Smokescreen to get the Unown in the web and take out their anger on Team Rocket. Bugsy then left the cave with his companions, ecstatic about his new discovery.

Bugsy is then see with more research colleagues before Suicune appears to him. He fails to catch Suicune just like the rest and it becomes the first Pokémon to break through his capture net. He does discover several inscriptions written in Unown, one saying "Rope Escape" and another saying "Ho-Oh".

Bugsy uses a special multi-[[Poké Ball]] capture net made for him by [[Kurt]].

==Trivia==
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader to use any Pokémon in battle that cannot learn any TMs or HMs.

* In the anime, Bugsy's Metapod is the only Metapod to be shown using {{m|Tackle}} (or indeed, any move other than {{m|Harden}}).
** This can also apply to the games, as all wild Metapod and Kakuna (as well as trainer's Metapod and Kakuna) only had Harden as the only move available to them.
* Similarly to [[Saturn]] and [[Will]], his Pokémon are the opposite gender of himself despite having a 50-50 gender ratio.
** Bugsy's Pokémon were all male in the [[Generation II|original Johto games]].
* Bugsy is the only Johto gym leader that does not have an elemental type advantage on the next Gym Leader. (Falkner trains {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, which are strong against Bug-type Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Whitney]]'s {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon are immune to {{type2|Ghost}} moves of [[Morty]].)
* Bugsy is the only Gym Leader whose signature Pokémon is sent out on the first turn (though this is only in Generation IV), but this due to the fact that his Scyther now carries {{m|U-turn}}.
* Bugsy appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Kakuna}} to battle.

'''Vespiquen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビークイン''' ''Beequeen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from female {{p|Combee}} starting at [[level]] 21.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vespiquen is a four-foot-tall bee Pokémon with a yellow and black striped abdomen that resembles an elegant ballroom gown. The underside of her expansive abdomen has sections like honeycomb cells, and can serve as a nest for baby Combee. It does appear, however, that she was a regular, slender insect abdomen in the centermost cell, which is inconspicuous as the ‘skirt’ usually obstructs the view of it. She has black, skinny arms with two orange claws and flies with a pair of small (compared to her body) wings on her orange shoulders. She has a nearly spherical yellow-colored upper body and a slender black waist. Vespiquen also has an orange face with red intimidating eyes, oversized, yellow-colored protruding mandibles, a red gem on her forehead that has grown significantly since she was a {{p|Combee}} and a "helmet" with yellow and black "horn" like projections.

====Gender differences====
Vespiquen is a female-only species.

====Special abilities====
Vespiquen has three separate [[signature moves]] that involve summoning a swarm of baby {{p|Combee}}, which she stores in her honeycomb-like lower abdomen. One is for {{m|Attack Order|attacking}}, the second is for {{m|Defend Order|defending}} and the third is for {{m|Heal Order|recovering}}.

===Behavior===
Vespiquen are queens of hives of Combee, controlling it and protecting it, as well as giving birth to young Combee. A Vespiquen is far more powerful than her followers. However, if someone defends her hive and helps her, she may reward them.

===Habitat===
Vespiquen live in huge hives in the forests with their Combee followers.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
Vespiquen made its first appearance in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation]]'' as the ruler of a huge colony of {{p|Combee}}.

Vespiquen appeared again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' under {{EF|Aaron}}'s ownership.

'''Vespiquen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビークイン''' ''Beequeen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from female {{p|Combee}} starting at [[level]] 21.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vespiquen is a four-foot-tall bee Pokémon with a yellow and black striped abdomen that resembles an elegant ballroom gown. The underside of her expansive abdomen has sections like honeycomb cells, and can serve as a nest for baby Combee. It does appear, however, that she was a regular, slender insect abdomen in the centermost cell, which is inconspicuous as the ‘skirt’ usually obstructs the view of it. She has black, skinny arms with two orange claws and flies with a pair of small (compared to her body) wings on her orange shoulders. She has a nearly spherical yellow-colored round upper body and a slender black waist. Vespiquen also has an orange face with red eyes, oversized, yellow-colored protruding mandibles, a red gem on her forehead that has grown significantly since she was a {{p|Combee}} and a "helmet" with yellow and black "horn" like projections.

====Gender differences====
Vespiquen is a female-only species.

====Special abilities====
Vespiquen has three separate [[signature moves]] that involve summoning a swarm of baby {{p|Combee}}, which she stores in her honeycomb-like lower abdomen. One is for {{m|Attack Order|attacking}}, the second is for {{m|Defend Order|defending}} and the third is for {{m|Heal Order|recovering}}.

===Behavior===
Vespiquen are queens of hives of Combee, controlling it and protecting it, as well as giving birth to young Combee. A Vespiquen is far more powerful than her followers. However, if someone defends her hive and helps her, she may reward them.

===Habitat===
Vespiquen live in huge hives in the forests with their Combee followers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
Vespiquen made its first appearance in ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation]]'' as the ruler of a huge colony of {{p|Combee}}.

Vespiquen appeared again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' under {{EF|Aaron}}'s ownership.

As a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, Umbreon can learn several moves with various disruptive effects, such as {{M|Taunt}} or {{M|Snatch}}. Despite its appearance, Umbreon is a Pokémon of strong endurance. Since Umbreon is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn {{M|Hyper Beam}} and {{M|Giga Impact}}.

==Trivia==
* Umbreon is tied with {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for the tallest Eevee evolution.
* Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, the only {{type2|Poison}} move Umbreon can learn is {{m|Toxic}}, and only through [[TM06]].
* Umbreon was the first and only pure {{type2|Dark}} until the introduction of {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, and {{p|Absol}} in [[Generation III]].
* Umbreon is not obtainable in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back.
* By [[National Pokédex]] order, Umbreon is the first {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, and the last Pokémon to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon with the ability {{a|Synchronize}}.
* Umbreon is one of two Pokémon that can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other one is Umbreon's counterpart, {{p|Espeon}}.
* If not counting abilities, Umbreon is the only [[Eeveelution]] that has an immunity.

===Origin===
Its physical traits are similar to those of a {{wp|hare}}; Numerous East Asian legends concern a {{wp|Moon Rabbit}}. In old European stories, the {{wp|Moon gazing hare}} also has roots tied to folklore sources containing references to the Moon, hares, and night-time.
====Name origin====
Umbreon's name is derived from ''{{wp|umbra}}'', Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost''. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of ''evolution'' itself.

Its Japanese name, Burakki, may simply refer to the color of its coat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nachtara - From ''Nacht'' (night). Ends with ''-a'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noctali - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal). Ends with ''-li'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in French.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 블래키 ''Beullaeki''

'''Xatu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネイティオ''' ''Natio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Natu}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Xatu are green [[wp:Condor|condor-like]] Pokémon with long, red-and-black tipped white wings that covers most of the Pokémon's front. Underneath its wings are designs that resemble red-colored eyes. Along with its main green coloration, Xatu’s designs have accentuations of black, yellow, and red. Notably, its head resembles much of its pre-evolution’s round body, with the exception of a longer, slightly hooked beak and dual, longer feather crests. Xatu’s feet have only two toes, one in front and one in back. Xatu’s design is similar to a {{wp|totem pole}}.
====Gender differences====
A male has one extra set of yellow stripes.

====Special abilities====
Like most {{t|Psychic|Psychic Pokémon}}, it possess psychic abilities. However, its specialty is that it has the ability to see into the future with the right eye, and the past with the left.

===Behavior===
Xatu tend to stand still all day. Many theories have been thought up to explain this behavior. One such theory explains that it keeps seeing visions of the past and future, and that it doesn't move due to fears of these future visions coming true. Although unable to comunicate telephathically one might understand it's thoughts by looking at its [[wp:Flag semaphore|wings]].

==Trivia==
* Xatu currently is the only [[Pokémon]] whose name begins with the letter X.
* Xatu shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Flygon}}. They are both known as the Mystic Pokémon.
* The Xatu in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] sometimes speaks in a backward fashion, similar to famed {{wp|Star Wars}} character {{wp|Yoda}}.
* Despite being able to learn {{m|Dream Eater}}, it cannot learn any attacks, though breeding or other legitimate means, to put opponents to sleep.
===Origin===
It seems to draw inspiration from a {{wp|Native American}} {{wp|totem}}.
====Name origin====
Xatu's English name probably derives from {{wp|Atu}}, an Aztec god or the first man in Samoan mythology and the X for exotic, hence its appearance. Xatu's Japanese name appears to be a corruption of ''native''.

== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

[[Team Rocket]] can’t believe their luck when an excident prone {{p|Blissey}} employed in a [[Pokémon Center]] willingly gives them the center’s entire food supply as it so happens Jessie and it were friends way back in nursing school but to this day still retained it's clumsiness and when the graduation exam was in progress Jessie selflessly aided Blissly at the cost of her own future and as to show her gratitude Blissey then broke her golden egg-shaped trinket worn around her neck in two which Jessie continues to carry from that day on. As they abscond with the grub, however, an collective pang of conscience tells them to return their ill-gotten booty. However, they are ashamed lest this act of decency ruin their carefully cultivated reputation as troublemakers. However they are caught red-handed but only put up a token of resistance and Team Rocket blastsoff with a smile and wishes Blissey well.

Talk:Attract (move)

2009-12-17T06:41:14Z

Frosslass:

== Breeding? ==
Buneary is able to learn Attract via TM, and thus should be able to learn it through breeding like all Pokémon do. {{Unsigned|Numbuh214}}
:The breeding table is made from separate data. See {{m|Psychic}}. Only Psyduck learns it "through breeding", yet it can be passed via TM to a compatible Pokemon as well. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
==Staryu==
I'm not sure if it counts, but in Pokemon Stadium 2, Staryu knows Attract during Battle Now. Does that mean anything? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 20:58, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if Pokémon Stadium counts as exact canon like Pokémon Red - Platinum do. You'd have to take this up with an admin, or you can put that down as trivia. ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 21:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

== Move description ==

Anyone know where it's gone? ~ [[User:Serial Colour|Serial Colour]] 02:55, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Judging by the lack of reference [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Attract_(move)&action=history here] as to someone having either deleted it or taken it on holiday to South Dakota, I'm guessing it was never written on account of being automatically generated many years ago. You can fill it up if you like :D — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 09:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Cutting the article's size. ==

How bout instead of listing nearly every single Pokémon, we say "All Pokémon that are capable of learning TMs and have genders, save for {{p|Mew}}, can learn Attract by TM45"? Or something in that parameter at least. I just think listing all these Pokémon is unnecessary. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Lunatone can learn it? despite being genderless and unable to morph perhaps with brainwashing, anyway is this correct because it doesn't seem right to me [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 06:41, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

'''Claydol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネンドール''' ''Nendoll'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Baltoy}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Claydol has a large black body with two small, stubby legs. Claydol has a wide, rounded head with a protrusion on the top and a remarkable, encircling pattern. The pattern consists of a wavy white frame on its circular pink eyes, each with a dot-like pupil and seemingly alternating expressions on each eye with small, beak-like yellow segments between each eye. Claydol's chest has white ring-like patterns with extensions of the design pointing downward and yellow circles in the middle. Claydol’s cannon-like arms are kept close to its body although their tips can be removed by levitating them with pshycic power.
====Gender differences====
Claydol is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
In addition to being able to float indefinitely using telekinesis, even sleeping hovering in midair, it also can shoot beams from its cannon-like arms. It is able to keep its floating arms close to its body by use of psychic powers.

===Behavior===
Claydol is not used to exposure to modern humans, since it was created by ancient people. For this reason, it chooses to reside in places where humans do not usually tread, such as the [[Sky Pillar]]. It uses its psychic powers constantly to its advantage.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Claydol can be found in caves and deserts.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Claydol anime.png|thumb|right|200px|Claydol in the anime]]
Claydol's first appearance was in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. A giant one was released from a giant, stone [[Poké Ball]] and had to be stopped from getting to a village.

In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{ho|Robert}} used a Claydol against [[Drew]] in the final match of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', {{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}} used a Claydol against {{Ash}} as his final Pokémon. With its {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Teleport}}, it quickly defeated [[Ash's Swellow]], and it proved to be a challenge for [[Ash's Sceptile|his Sceptile]]. It was later defeated by Sceptile's newly-learned {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
*The symbols on Claydol's chest and back resemble the Q form of {{p|Unown}}.
*Claydol has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon.
===Origin===
Its design is similar to the 遮光器土偶 ''{{wp|shakōkidogū}}'' - a "spaceman" clay figurine from the {{wp|Jomon|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history. It also looks exactly like the connecting piece on Chinese {{wp|bracelet}}s.
====Name origin====
Claydol's name appears to be a combination of ''clay'', ''idol'', and possibly ''doll'' as well. Judging by the pronunciation, it may also be a combination of ''clay'' and ''{{wp|dreidel}}'', because Claydol and its pre-evolution look like tops. ''Nendoll'' is probably a combination of 念 ''nen'', thought, and ''doll''. ''Nen'' is found in various compounds having to do with {{wp|Extrasensory perception|ESP}}-related phenomena, for instance, 念写 ''nensha'', spirit-photography, and 念動 ''nendō'', telekinesis. It may also be (as the English name suggests) a combination of 粘土 ''nendo'', "clay," and ''doll''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lepumentas - From ''Lehm'' (clay), ''Puppe'' (doll), and ''mental''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Kaorine - Comes from ''{{wp|kaolin}}'', a type of clay used as a medicine for upset stomachs.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 점토도리 ''Jeomtodori''

==Trivia==
* Despite being based on a bronze bell, Bronzong doesn't learn any sound-based moves (with the exception of {{m|Snore}} in Platinum). It should be noted, however, that dōtaku are purely ritualistic and are not made to function as bells.
**Also, it doesn't appear to be made of any sort of bronze.
*Bronzong and its {{p|Bronzor|pre-evolution}} are the only Pokémon with the ability {{a|Levitate}} that can have another ability, {{a|Heatproof}}. In {{v2|Platinum}} and on they share this trait with {{p|Giratina}}, who can freely alternate between the abilities Levitate and {{a|Pressure}} when it changes between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.
*Despite being blue, it is listed in the [[List of Pokémon by color|green category]]. This also applies to its {{p|Bronzor|pre-evolution}}.
**A possible explanation is, in the Japanese viewpoint, some shades of blue are referred to as green, and vice-versa.
*Both of {{a|Heatproof|its}} {{a|Levitate|abilities}} affect its weakness to super-effective moves, allowing it to have just one 2× weakness, provided something that doesn't negate abilities isn't in effect.
**As both abilities are used at the same time in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, this means that in the Mystery Dungeon games that Bronzong doesn't have any weaknesses
===Origin===
Bronzong is based on a {{wp|dōtaku}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name is a combination of "bronze" and either "{{wp|gong}}", a type of musical instrument, or "dong", the sound of a bell. Its Japanese name is a portmanteau of the words 銅鐸 ''dōtaku'', meaning bronze bell, and どんどん ''dondon'', the sound a bell produces.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Bronzong
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Archeodong - From ''archeo-'' (Latin for "ancient") and ''dong''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 동탁군 ''Dongtakgun''

'''Rhyperior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドサイドン''' ''Dosidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rhydon}} via [[Trade#Pokémon which evolve when traded|trade]] with {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Protector}}. It is the final form of {{p|Rhyhorn}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rhyperior has basically the same build as its predecessor, Rhydon, although it is taller and heavier. Rhyperior has a club-like tail and its hide is partially covered by orange, rocky plates. Rhyperior has blade-like protrusions on its elbows and has holes in the palms of its hands. Rhyperior's body is a brownish-gray as opposed to just regular gray. It also appears to have two thick, rectangular rocks above its eyes, resembling heavy eyebrows.
====Gender differences====
The upper horn on a female Rhyperior is smaller than a male's.

====Special abilities====
Rhyperior can insert rocks and boulders into its arms through holes in its hands and then fire them like bullets. However, it will occasionally insert and fire {{p|Geodude}} by accident. They are monstrously powerful and are massively difficult to take down without a {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} move.

Rhyperior is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Rock Wrecker}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Rhyperior live far up in the mountains. Finding a wild one can be difficult.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Rhyperior anime.png|thumb|220px|Rhyperior in the anime]]
Rhyperior makes a short cameo appearance in the opening sequence of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the command of {{ga|Brendan}}.

A Rhyperior appeared in [[DP141]] under the ownership of {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}. Using powerful attacks like {{m|Megahorn}} and its [[signature move]], {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, It battled and defeated [[Ash's Grotle]], even though Grotle activated its [[ability]], {{a|Overgrow}}.

==In the manga==
In the FireRed and LeafGreen series of [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Blue}} has a book on Ground-type Pokémon written by [[Giovanni]]. It mentions that Rhydon can evolve further through [[trade|trading]]. Blue asks {{adv|Silver}} if he could help figure it out because Pokémon trading is his specialty. Before this can be accomplished, they are turned to stone by [[Sird]]'s attack meant for Deoxys.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Saturn]] has a Rhyperior that he uses to battle [[Hareta]] at [[Lake Valor]].

==Trivia==
*Rhyperior is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to learn {{m|Horn Drill}}.
*Rhyperior and Rhydon share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, all four are also {{type2|Ground}}s.
*Rhyperior has the highest Attack among all non-legendary {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
**It also has the second highest attack of all non-legendary {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, second only to {{p|Rampardos}}.
**It also has the highest {{stat|HP}} among all {{type|Rock}} and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Rhyperior and its evolutionary relatives are the only Rock/Ground Pokémon to have Rock as their secondary type instead of their primary.
===Origin===
It appears to draw much of its inspiration from a {{wp|rhinoceros}}, aspects of various {{wp|dinosaur}}s (such as the {{wp|triceratops}}) and a {{wp|tank}}. It also may have been inspired by {{wp|Anguirus}}, considering the nose horn and the spikes on their back. It may also have connections with an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}, hence the clubbed tail and many defensive plates.
====Name origin====
Dosydon's name is deceptively complex. The ''Do'' part that is at the beginning may be from the word 土 ''do'', which is Japanese for ''ground/soil'', or 怒 ''do'', which means ''anger'', or ど ''do'', the Japanese prefix that makes a noun sound stronger; サイ ''sai,'' Japanese for rhinoceros; and ''don,'' a Greek word meaning tooth, commonly used in the names of dinosaurs.

Rhyperior comes from the "Rhy" of its pre-evolutions and "superior", because it is much more powerful than its pre-evolutions. It could also come from Hyperion a titan god in Greek mythology since they both have connections with the Earth.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rihornior - From ''Rihorn'' (Rhyhorn's German name) + Latin ending for comparatives "ior" (more)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rhinastoc - From ''Rhinocéros'' (rhinoceros) and ''Astoc'', a word that designs a "critical hit" or a powerful hit with a sword.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 거대코뿌리 ''Geodaekoppuri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 大地犀牛 ''Da Di Xi Niu''

Frosslass: misspelled

'''Happiness''' is a measurement of how much a Pokémon loves its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care. As a full feature, it was introduced in [[Generation II]]. Happiness also determines the power of [[return]] and [[frustration]].

==Generation I==
A prototype of the happiness system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive, however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pokémon|started with]].

Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its Poké Ball, the player can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its happiness in a small window that appears. At maximum happiness, Pikachu will jump up and down before the window appears.

Like later games, Pikachu's happiness will rise when it gains a level. If its Trainer uses an item on Pikachu, its happiness will also rise, even if it is an item that has no effect on Pikachu (such as a [[Potion]] at full HP). In this manner, Pikachu is much easier to make happy than Pokémon in future generations.

Pikachu's happiness drops if it is put into [[Bill's PC]] or faints. Trading it to another game will reset its happiness to 0.

Happiness is not recorded for any other Pokémon in Generation I, while the happiness of Pikachu does not affect much: the only real effect it has is whether or not [[Melanie]] will give {{p|Bulbasaur}} away in [[Cerulean City]], which she will only do if its happiness is 147 or higher.

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]] the happiness system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the happiness of any Pokémon owned by the Trainer. Like before, it is a single byte with a value between 0 and 255.

Happiness is set when a Pokémon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pokémon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pokémon is traded from another game. When a Pokémon is hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, its value is set to 120. If a Pokémon is captured in a Friend Ball, rather than any other kind, its happiness is set to 200 instead.

Another function was given to happiness in Generation II, the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present, with new Pokémon which evolve through happiness being introduced in each generation. Happiness-based evolutions occur when a Pokémon's happiness is 220 or higher.

Unlike in Generation I, happiness will not increase if an item that cannot be used is used on a Pokémon: for example, using [[HP Up]]s on a Quilava which already has the maximum HP it can have will not result in raised happiness.

However, some things, though frequently reported, aren't part of the Generation II modifier. The following are things that do not affect a Pokémon's happiness, either positively or negatively:
*Putting a Pokémon in Bill's PC
*Healing the Pokémon when weak and injured
*Giving a Pokémon a hold item
*Using a Pokémon in battles
*Winning battles with a Pokémon
*Letting a Pokémon's HP fall to critical status
*Letting your Pokémon get a status condition like Paralysis
*Walking when your Pokémon has a status condition

==Generation III==
Happiness in [[Generation III]] works much the same as before, however, additions were made to happiness-altering events. If a Pokémon is caught in a [[Luxury Ball]], all happiness-raising events will rise by one point more, while happiness-lowering events are not affected. Likewise, a Pokémon holding a [[Soothe Bell]] will also rise by one additional point per happiness-raising event. These effects stack on each other, meaning a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball holding a Soothe Bell gets two additional points per event.

Pokémon now have a base happiness per species; however, most catchable Pokémon have the standard 70 points as their starting level.

==Generation IV==
Happiness in [[Generation IV]] is much the same as it is in [[Generation III]], though the conditions are altered slightly. The Luxury Ball now causes a Pokémon to have a separate rise in happiness than Pokémon in other Balls.

In [[Eterna City]], a girl in the [[Pokémon Center]] will give away a [[Pokétch]] app that shows how much the Pokémon in the player's [[party]] like the player. Maximum happiness is represented by two big hearts.

In [[Hearthome City]], a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] will rate a Pokémon's happiness in a standardized manner similar to previous generations.

[[Dr. Footstep]], the sole resident of the Footstep House on {{rt|213}}, will also tell a Pokémon's happiness, albeit in a roundabout way which differs among Pokémon species. At maximum happiness, he will give the Pokémon in question a [[ribbon]].

===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
Happiness also has a slight effect in the second Ranger game. The [[Partner Pokémon]] can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is happy, black musical notes come out of it. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is very happy. This may happen whether or not it is with the player. This condition increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up.

==Evolutions==
Several Pokémon evolve when their happiness level is at or above 220:

==Happiness raters==
Happiness raters are different [[NPC]]s that may be talked to to indicate the happiness of the first Pokémon in the player's party. Some will give away certain items depending on the happiness, while others just tell how happy the Pokémon is.

===Locations===
*[[Goldenrod City]], in the house northeast of the bike shop.
*[[Goldenrod Department Store]], {{DL|Days of the week|Sunday}}s only, gives away one of either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100) weekly.
*[[Verdanturf Town]], in the house in the south of the town.
*[[Pacifidlog Town]], Once every seven days, gives away one of either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100).
*[[Pallet Town]], at Rival's house, [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] will judge a Pokémon's happiness. ([[Generation III]] only)
*[[Hearthome City]], in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]].

In addition, the [[Pokétch]] App, Friend Checker, will display a Pokémon's happiness on a scale of one to two small or big hearts.

== Trivia ==
*The only [[regional Pokédex]] that contained all Pokémon that evolve by happiness at the time was the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|old Johto Dex]]. Neither the Hoenn Dex nor Sinnoh Dex (before or after the expansion) contain all happiness-evolvers as of their respective generation, with the Sinnoh Dex excluding only {{p|Igglybuff}} and its family.

Frosslass:

'''Happiness''' is a measurement of how much a Pokémon loves its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care. As a full feature, it was introduced in [[Generation II]]. Happiness also determines the power of [[return]] and [[fustration]].

==Generation I==
A prototype of the happiness system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive, however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pokémon|started with]].

Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its Poké Ball, the player can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its happiness in a small window that appears. At maximum happiness, Pikachu will jump up and down before the window appears.

Like later games, Pikachu's happiness will rise when it gains a level. If its Trainer uses an item on Pikachu, its happiness will also rise, even if it is an item that has no effect on Pikachu (such as a [[Potion]] at full HP). In this manner, Pikachu is much easier to make happy than Pokémon in future generations.

Pikachu's happiness drops if it is put into [[Bill's PC]] or faints. Trading it to another game will reset its happiness to 0.

Happiness is not recorded for any other Pokémon in Generation I, while the happiness of Pikachu does not affect much: the only real effect it has is whether or not [[Melanie]] will give {{p|Bulbasaur}} away in [[Cerulean City]], which she will only do if its happiness is 147 or higher.

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]] the happiness system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the happiness of any Pokémon owned by the Trainer. Like before, it is a single byte with a value between 0 and 255.

Happiness is set when a Pokémon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pokémon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pokémon is traded from another game. When a Pokémon is hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, its value is set to 120. If a Pokémon is captured in a Friend Ball, rather than any other kind, its happiness is set to 200 instead.

Another function was given to happiness in Generation II, the evolution of certain Pokémon, which has continued until the present, with new Pokémon which evolve through happiness being introduced in each generation. Happiness-based evolutions occur when a Pokémon's happiness is 220 or higher.

Unlike in Generation I, happiness will not increase if an item that cannot be used is used on a Pokémon: for example, using [[HP Up]]s on a Quilava which already has the maximum HP it can have will not result in raised happiness.

However, some things, though frequently reported, aren't part of the Generation II modifier. The following are things that do not affect a Pokémon's happiness, either positively or negatively:
*Putting a Pokémon in Bill's PC
*Healing the Pokémon when weak and injured
*Giving a Pokémon a hold item
*Using a Pokémon in battles
*Winning battles with a Pokémon

==Happiness raters==
Happiness raters are different [[NPC]]s that may be talked to to indicate the happiness of the first Pokémon in the player's party. Some will give away certain items depending on the happiness, while others just tell how happy the Pokémon is.

===Locations===
*[[Goldenrod City]], in the house northeast of the bike shop.
*[[Goldenrod Department Store]], {{DL|Days of the week|Sunday}}s only, gives away one of either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100) weekly.
*[[Verdanturf Town]], in the house in the south of the town.
*[[Pacifidlog Town]], Once every seven days, gives away one of either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100).
*[[Pallet Town]], at Rival's house, [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] will judge a Pokémon's happiness. ([[Generation III]] only)
*[[Hearthome City]], in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]].

In addition, the [[Pokétch]] App, Friend Checker, will display a Pokémon's happiness on a scale of one to two small or big hearts.

== Trivia ==
*The only [[regional Pokédex]] that contained all Pokémon that evolve by happiness at the time was the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|old Johto Dex]]. Neither the Hoenn Dex nor Sinnoh Dex (before or after the expansion) contain all happiness-evolvers as of their respective generation, with the Sinnoh Dex excluding only {{p|Igglybuff}} and its family.

Talk:Koga

Frosslass:

>Janine was worried for her father, having no knowledge of his criminal past.

Um? There's a flashback where he tells her that some day she will 'enter into the service of his master'. And he's standing by a shrine to Giovanni at the time. So I think she knows.

I only read up to the part where she confronts Suicune, so that could be true, I guess. *shrugs*

Again, if you see anything on the pages, feel free to edit. They need a ton of work.

>His Golbat's mouth can be used almost like a crystal ball to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way.

I'm pretty sure that it's not a real Golbat that he uses that way, that it's a device. He crushes it in his fist--something he'd never be able to do to a real Golbat.

I just checked. Green takes Koga's Golbat and it's mouth displays pictures of Prof. Oak during the battle at Silph Co. An actual, living Golbat.

Perhaps we need a Gym Leader template? Or some system of organizing them? Because they're in every category of the franchise, and seeing the three categories of characters plus the three stubs at the bottom of most looks REALLY bad. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 06:07, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

And another thing--for Gym Leaders, their notable Pokes deserve their own pages (see [[Ash]] 's page for refrence), but when discussing the games, the links are to the dex articles proper. Pokemon not linked under the (Person)'s (Poke) should be left as plain text and not linked anywhere. However, remember to dex-ify all games-related links (see [[Red]].)

Ice (type)

2009-09-28T11:57:39Z

Frosslass:

{{ElementalTypes|ice}}
{{TypeNotice|Ice|こおり|Kōri}}
Trainers of note that specialize in the Ice-type include [[Lorelei]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Pryce]] of [[Mahogany Town]], [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Candice]] of [[Snowpoint City]].

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=ice |
HP=75 |
Attack=67 |
Defense=72 |
SpAtk=74 |
SpDef=79 |
Speed=66 }}

==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle

|weakto2=Fire
|weakto3=Rock

|resisted1=Fire
|resisted2=Ice

|resisted4=Water
}}

==Characteristics==
The Ice-type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying many common weaknesses in {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{p|Scizor}}'s {{m|Bullet Punch}} and the randomly-carried {{m|Fire Blast}} meant to cover the much sturdier Steel-types. These defensive weaknesses are reduced somewhat by the rarity of pure Ice-types.

Offensive-wise, though, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double-Ice weaknesses are very common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s), while no more than two non-Ice types doubly-resist Ice - {{P|Empoleon}} and {{P|Heatran}}. Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover the {{t|Grass}} and Dragon-types who resist Water, leaving only other Water-types to resists this Water+Ice combo.

When used in contests, Ice-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves.

In total, there are 22 Pokémon with the Ice-type.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]]. In fact, there are only four pure Ice-types.
* Thirteen of the fifteen Ice-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only two that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Ice-type moves were Beauty moves.
* Only the Normal-type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice-type, Normal having no resistances (with one immunity), and Ice being resistant to only itself.
* Each type that is weak to Ice up to now has been found combined with Ice except for Dragon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four|Elite Four member]] who specializes in the Ice-type introduced in each generation.
* all Ice-type specialists own at least one Water-type.
*and a member of the {{p|Snorunt}} evolutionary line barring Lorelei
*Pryce is the only male Ice-Type specalist, the others, Candice, Lorelei and Glacia all being female.

And I'm not sure how both Bugsy and Aaron have a major role in the games, anyway. '''~ overgrown[[User:Sol|s]][[User talk:Sol|o]][[Special:Contributions/Sol|l]]''' 02:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Ice (type)

{{TypeNotice|Ice|こおり|Kōri}}
Trainers of note that specialize in the Ice-type include [[Lorelei]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Pryce]] of [[Mahogany Town]], [[Glacia]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Candice]] of [[Snowpoint City]].

==Characteristics==
The Ice-type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying many common weaknesses in {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{p|Scizor}}'s {{m|Bullet Punch}} and the randomly-carried {{m|Fire Blast}} meant to cover the much sturdier Steel-types. These defensive weaknesses are reduced somewhat by the rarity of pure Ice-types.

Offensive-wise, though, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double-Ice weaknesses are very common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s), while no more than two non-Ice types doubly-resist Ice - {{P|Empoleon}} and {{P|Heatran}}. Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover the {{t|Grass}} and Dragon-types who resist Water, leaving only other Water-types to resists this Water+Ice combo.

When used in contests, Ice-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves.

In total, there are 22 Pokémon with the Ice-type.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ice-type species were not introduced until [[Generation III]]. In fact, there are only four pure Ice-types.
* Thirteen of the fifteen Ice-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only two that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' Ice-type moves were Beauty moves.
* Only the Normal-type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice-type, Normal having no resistances (with one immunity), and Ice being resistant to only itself.
* Each type that is weak to Ice up to now has been found combined with Ice except for Dragon.
* There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four|Elite Four member]] who specializes in the Ice-type introduced in each generation.
* all Ice-type specialists own at least one Water-type.
*and a member of the {{p|Snorunt}} evolutionary line barring Lorelei

>Janine was worried for her father, having no knowledge of his criminal past.

Um? There's a flashback where he tells her that some day she will 'enter into the service of his master'. And he's standing by a shrine to Giovanni at the time. So I think she knows.

I only read up to the part where she confronts Suicune, so that could be true, I guess. *shrugs*

Again, if you see anything on the pages, feel free to edit. They need a ton of work.

>His Golbat's mouth can be used almost like a crystal ball to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way.

I'm pretty sure that it's not a real Golbat that he uses that way, that it's a device. He crushes it in his fist--something he'd never be able to do to a real Golbat.

I just checked. Green takes Koga's Golbat and it's mouth displays pictures of Prof. Oak during the battle at Silph Co. An actual, living Golbat.

- Zeta

Perhaps we need a Gym Leader template? Or some system of organizing them? Because they're in every category of the franchise, and seeing the three categories of characters plus the three stubs at the bottom of most looks REALLY bad. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 06:07, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

And another thing--for Gym Leaders, their notable Pokes deserve their own pages (see [[Ash]] 's page for refrence), but when discussing the games, the links are to the dex articles proper. Pokemon not linked under the (Person)'s (Poke) should be left as plain text and not linked anywhere. However, remember to dex-ify all games-related links (see [[Red]].) [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 06:17, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It says that both Koga and Sabrina had to catch Moltres...but Koga is seen with Articuno in volume 2. [[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 15:07, 15 February 2006 (CST)

Which of his Pokemon are more notable? Venomoth or Golbat? [[Image:Ani254MS.gif]][[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[User talk:Jmath|Talk]][[Image:Ani448MS.gif]] 13:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

'''Cherrim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チェリム''' ''Cherrim'') is a {{Type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

Cherrim has two different forms, both of which are dependent on the [[Weather conditions|weather]] (a trait that is also found in {{p|Castform}}). During normal weather conditions, it appears as two crossing purple petals with a short purple stem, a green leafy sepal covering, and two deep pink feet; its eyes appear to be near its legs in this form. When there is strong sunlight, it appears to have a skirt and hair made of pink cherry-blossom petals. Additionally, two berry-like orbs, resembling cherry-shaped hair ornaments, adorn its head.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Behavior===
Cherrim is said to release all of its pent up anger when it opens. Because of this, it is continuously happy until it closes again.

'''Cherrim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チェリム''' ''Cherrim'') is a {{Type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

{{#switch: {{#time: G}}|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19=|[[File:Cherrim eyes.png|thumb|left|Cherrim's eyes]]}}
Cherrim has two different forms, both of which are dependent on the [[Weather conditions|weather]] (a trait that is also found in {{p|Castform}}). During normal weather conditions, it appears as two crossing purple petals with a short purple stem, a green leafy sepal covering, and two deep pink feet; its eyes appear to be near its legs in this form. When there is strong sunlight, it appears to have a skirt and hair made of pink cherry-blossom petals. Additionally, two berry-like orbs, resembling cherry-shaped hair ornaments, adorn its head.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Cherrim is said to release all of its pent up anger when it opens. Because of this, it is continuously happy until it closes again.

Frosslass:

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

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Derian/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*There are certain restrictions on the content and amount of userspace content a user is allowed. For details, see the {{bp|Userspace policy}}
*Unless prior permission is given, no user is permitted to edit another user's page. Furthermore, edits to other users' pages are permitted only if there are problems that spread to other parts of Bulbapedia, such as broken links that appear on the wanted pages, switching out duplicate images that appear on the Archives, etc.
*Fan fictions, missions, riddles, games, and anything else deemed not suitable for the wiki will not be allowed. If you would like to add something, but do not know if it is acceptable, ask an administrator.
*A list of administrators that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --- [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 17:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== Regarding Your Signature ==
It should link to at minimum your talk page. Thanks. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== You do know ==

Instead of using the {{template|png}} template, you could use the {{template|ani}} template, which is designed to be used for the animated menusprites. Like so: {{ani|155}} '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:57, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

==Help==
Hi Derian if you dont mind me asking how do you type the green vertical line when creating a short link ? [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 19:28, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean, this thing? | that's done by holding shift and the key above enter.
But that's not green so I'm not sure what you mean. [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 19:35, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
