'''''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　サン{{tt|＆|アンド}}ムーン''' ''Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon''), referred to by fans as the '''''Sun & Moon'' series''', is the sixth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] and is based on the events of the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows the {{series|XY}}. It premiered on November 17, 2016 in Japan, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in {{pmin|the United States}} on December 5, 2016.

[[Ash Ketchum]] heads off to a new region, [[Alola]], wearing a new set of clothes with his partner {{AP|Pikachu}}. He receives a [[Z-Ring]] and becomes a student at the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]].

A new art style is implemented for the third series in a row, this time more drastically than the series that preceded it, with characters being drawn with a much more exaggerated, rounded, "cartoony" style.

So far, it has been divided into one [[season]] for audiences outside of Japan.

Episodes in the ''Sun & Moon'' series are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''SM''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Sun & Moon series episodes|list of ''Sun & Moon'' series episodes]].

==Dub seasons==
When the ''Sun & Moon'' series came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it has been divided into one season:
* [[S20|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]] ([[SM001]] - ongoing)

*This series has more human protagonists than any other series, with a total of six.
*This series is the first series without an opening theme song.

Seaside Cycling Road

2016-02-18T22:39:38Z

Fuadorko: added best possible time for gen 6 games

{{Infobox location
|image=ORAS Prerelease Seaside Cycling Road.png
|type=road
|location_name=Seaside Cycling Road
|japanese_name=シーサイドサイクリングロード
|translated_name=Seaside Cycling Road
|location={{rt|110|Hoenn}}

|generation={{gen|III}}, {{gen|VI}}

}}
'''Seaside Cycling Road''' (Japanese: '''シーサイドサイクリングロード''' ''Seaside Cycling Road'') is a road found on {{rt|110|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]]. A raised section, the road was made so that people could take a shortcut over the grassy path found underneath it. This allows the player to bypass [[wild Pokémon]] completely, but also face other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, namely {{tc|Triathlete}}s.

If a player rides the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} on Cycling Road from the north entrance, their time and number of collisions will be recorded and saved. If they ride the {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}, their score will not be recorded due to being "easy to turn."

==Gates==
===Vending Machines===
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], there is a [[Vending Machine]] at both of the [[gate]]s at the ends of the Seaside Cycling Road.
{{shop|}}
{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Soda Pop|300}}|{{shopitem|Fresh Water|200}}}}
{{shopfooter}}

==Mach Bike ride rating==
The player gets hidden minus points, which are then used to determine the overall rating, by using too much time and by colliding into other trainers. The following situations cause a minus point to the player:
* The ride takes more than 12.10 seconds.
* The ride takes more than 1 minute.
* The player collides at least once.
* The player collides at least 100 times.

Note that the timer used to calculate minus points will run continuously, even during battles; thus, at least two minus points are effectively guaranteed if a Triathlete challenges the player during the ride.

===Rating levels===
* No minus points:
::''"Bravo! Splendid showing! Your love of cycling comes from deep within your heart. You've shaken me to the very soul!"''{{sup/3|RSE}}
::''"Bravo! Splendid showing! Your love of cycling comes from deep within your heart. You've shaken me to my very soul!"''{{sup/6|ORAS}}
* One minus point for time over 12.10 seconds:
::''"Your technique is remarkable. I suggest you speed up a bit while still avoiding collisions."''{{sup/3|RSE}}
::''"Your technique is remarkable. I suggest you slow down just enough to avoid collisions."''{{sup/6|ORAS}}
* One minus point for a collision:
::''"Your technique is remarkable. I suggest you slow down just enough to avoid collisions."''
* Two minus points:
::''"I would consider you a work in progress. Still, I hope you don't forget the sheer pleasure of cycling."''
* Three minus points:
::''"My word... Your cycling skills border on terrifying. Most certainly, you need much more practice riding."''
* All four minus points:
::''"...I am aghast... You're perhaps not cut out for this unfortunate cycling business. You ought to give serious thought to returning that <sc>bike</sc> to <sc>[[Rydel]]</sc>."''{{sup/3|RSE}}
::''"I am aghast... You’re perhaps not cut out for this unfortunate cycling business. You ought to give serious thought to returning that Bike to Rydel."''{{sup/6|ORAS}}

==Trivia==
* The [[gate]]s at each end of Cycling Road are the only gates present in [[Hoenn]].
* In the Generation III games, the best time possible without cheating is approximately 9.15 seconds. This can be achieved by successfully avoiding all the Trainers and taking the corners as steeply as possible.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the best possible time without cheating is approximately 11.95 seconds.
* The bicycle theme is played as background music when attempting the Mach Bike challenge. It fades out and plays the music for {{rt|110|Hoenn}} as soon as the time taken to ride is recorded.
* Despite the advice the rater gives to the player if he/she gets all four minus points, it is not possible to eliminate the Bike from one's key items after having first obtained it (though one ''can'' switch from the Mach Bike to the Acro).

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms: '''Mega Charizard X''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite X}} and '''Mega Charizard Y''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite Y}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] boxarts. It also appears on [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]'s boxart as Mega Charizard Y.

==Biology==
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork.png|thumb|230px|left|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail, which burns with a sizable flame. Charizard has a long neck, small blue eyes, raised nostrils, and two blunt horns protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with teal undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs and cream-colored soles under its feet.

As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs appear more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky blue underside extending from the lower jaw to the tip of the tail. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, its snout is shorter, and its eyes are now red with white pupils. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The lower trims of its wings are divided into large, rounded points and each third joint is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue with increased heat.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Charizard</ref>

When Mega Evolved as Mega Charizard Y, this Pokémon becomes more sleek and expansive in appearance, but retains its normal coloration. However, it now has white pupils. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its shorter snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter and its hands are much smaller, but its torso and legs are longer. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger and now have ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large thorn at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess, being able to reach incredible heights.<ref name="Mega" />

This Pokémon flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders, massive glaciers, and has been known to accidentally cause forest fires. Charizard typically inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}. [[EP134|The anime]] has shown that only a weak Charizard would show off its power, and that a group of Charizard resides in the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]].

==In the anime==

[[File:Alain Mega Charizard X.png|thumb|220px|right|Mega Charizard X in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Charizard Y anime.png|thumb|220px|right|Mega Charizard Y in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Charizard]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', where Charizard reluctantly saved Ash from the claws of an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. After its evolutions, Charizard stopped obeying Ash, and this eventually led to Ash losing in the Top 16 stage of the Kanto Pokemon League.

====[[Charla]]====
{{jo|Liza}} of the [[Charicific Valley]] owns her own Charizard, called Charla. It has a romantic relationship with Ash's Charizard.

====[[Alain's Charizard]]====
A Charizard that can Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X appeared in the {{series|XY}} under the ownership of [[Alain]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] that seeks to defeat all Mega Evolved Pokémon.

====Other====
A Charizard borrowed from {{jo|Battle Park}} was used by [[Jessie]] in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Charizard and Rhyhorn shared nearly the same cry. This cry was updated and reused for Mega Charizard Y.
* {{v2|Yellow}} is the only [[Generation I]] game in which Charizard can learn {{m|Fly}}, though it can still be traded to the older games.
* Charizard and its {{p|Charmeleon|pre-evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]], as it is the first one to appear in the opening. However, outside of Japan, this honor belongs to {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* Charizard is the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series that transitioned from a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon to a playable character.
* Charizard, {{p|Typhlosion}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats.
* Charizard was the focus of a [[Charizard Pokémon Center promotion (2010)|Pokémon Center promotion]] in April 2010.
* Charizard was voted as the favorite Pokémon by [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] readers in February 2012 as well as the number one Pokémon in {{wp|IGN}}'s "Top 100 Pokemon" list in late 2011.
* Mega Charizard Y has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon as well as all non-legendary {{t|Flying}} types.
* Charizard's [[Mega Evolution]]s have the highest base stat total of all non-legendary Fire types.
* Charizard is one of only two Pokémon that has more than one Mega Evolution, the other being Mewtwo.
* Mega Charizard X is the only Mega Evolution from Pokémon X and Y that has an almost entirely different coloration than its original form.

===Origin===
Charizard resembles a {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends.

====Name origin====
Charizard is a portmanteau of the words ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.

Lizardon is a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''don'' (Ancient Greek for ''tooth'', commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names).

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms: '''Mega Charizard X''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite X}} and '''Mega Charizard Y''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Charizardite Y}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] boxarts. It also appears on [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]'s boxart as Mega Charizard Y.

==Biology==
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork.png|thumb|230px|left|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail, which burns with a sizable flame. Charizard has a long neck, small blue eyes, raised nostrils, and two blunt horns protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with teal undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs and cream-colored soles under its feet.

As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs appear more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky blue underside extending from the lower jaw to the tip of the tail. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, its snout is shorter, and its eyes are now red with white pupils. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The lower trims of its wings are divided into large, rounded points and each third joint is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue with increased heat.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Charizard</ref>

When Mega Evolved as Mega Charizard Y, this Pokémon becomes more sleek and expansive in appearance, but retains its normal coloration. However, it now has white pupils. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its shorter snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter and its hands are much smaller, but its torso and legs are longer. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger and now have ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large thorn at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess, being able to reach incredible heights.<ref name="Mega" />

This Pokémon flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders, massive glaciers, and has been known to accidentally cause forest fires. Charizard typically inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}. [[EP134|The anime]] has shown that only a weak Charizard would show off its power, and that a group of Charizard resides in the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]].

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', {{TR|Delibird}} gave Jessie and [[James]] a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Charizard}} and an {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting Charizard and James getting Aggron. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as they were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Charizard and Rhyhorn shared nearly the same cry. This cry was updated and reused for Mega Charizard Y.
* {{v2|Yellow}} is the only [[Generation I]] game in which Charizard can learn {{m|Fly}}, though it can still be traded to the older games.
* Charizard and its {{p|Charmeleon|pre-evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]], as it is the first one to appear in the opening. However, outside of Japan, this honor belongs to {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* Charizard is the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series that transitioned from a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon to a playable character.
* Charizard, {{p|Typhlosion}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats.
* Charizard was the focus of a [[Charizard Pokémon Center promotion (2010)|Pokémon Center promotion]] in April 2010.
* Charizard was voted as the favorite Pokémon by [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] readers in February 2012 as well as the number one Pokémon in {{wp|IGN}}'s "Top 100 Pokemon" list in late 2011.
* Mega Charizard Y has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon as well as all non-legendary {{t|Flying}} types.
* Charizard's [[Mega Evolution]]s have the highest base stat total of all non-legendary Fire types.
* Charizard is one of only two Pokémon that has more than one Mega Evolution, the other being Mewtwo.
* Mega Charizard X is the only Mega Evolution from Pokémon X and Y that has an almost entirely different coloration than its original form.

===Origin===
Charizard resembles a {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends.

====Name origin====
Charizard is a portmanteau of the words ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.

Lizardon is a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''don'' (Ancient Greek for ''tooth'', commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names).
