On the following turn, Sky Attack will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Sky Attack is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.<br /> <br /> If Sky Attack is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user is glowing, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Sky Attack (or fail if it can't).<br /> <br /> {{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Sky Attack.<br /> <br /> In Stadium, Mirror Move will copy Sky Attack on either of the turns it takes to execute.<br /> <br /> ===Generation II-III===<br /> Sky Attack now has a 10% chance of causing the target to flinch. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as Generation I. <br /> <br /> ===Generation IV===<br /> Sky Attack now displays &quot;'''&lt;name&gt; became cloaked in a harsh light!'''&quot; instead of &quot;'''&lt;name&gt; is glowing!'''&quot;.

He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s first and main [[Diamond &amp; Pearl series|Diamond and Pearl series]] rival; his next rival would be {{an|Barry}}. Paul is also '''EMO'''<br /> <br /> ==Personality and training==<br /> Paul's only concern in his [[Pokémon]] is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[Happiness|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, and this was a recurring trait when he owned {{AP|Chimchar}}. As a person, he is very callous and even at times brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}}; and as a result, he has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile.<br /> <br /> Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Paul also disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. He feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong. Reggie cares about his brother, but has no illusions about Paul's character. In [[DP066|''Lost Leader Strategy!'']], he openly admits that Paul has always had a cruel streak.<br /> <br /> ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' was an important episode that revealed much about Paul's motivation as a Pokémon trainer and more about his character. When Reggie was a roaming Pokémon trainer, he had lost to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. Reggie's loss to Brandon is what caused Paul to be so adamant about strength in battle. This single loss is also what caused Paul to become the callous person he was, and that was because of how his brother handled the loss. Instead of bearing the shame of his loss to Brandon, Reggie moved on with his life and put the loss behind him. Paul found this to be unacceptable, and he became disappointed of his brother. He challenged Brandon to a [[full battle]] in hopes that he would be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to [[Unable to battle|knock out]] any of Brandon's Pokémon. Brandon says that this loss was because Paul was unable to control his emotions.<br /> <br /> At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven false in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s but didn't win anything before returning to [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that Kanto was the very first region he traveled through.<br /> <br /> Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Out of all the rivals that Ash has, Paul seems to be the most harsh towards him and his Pokémon. Despite that, Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul's only hint of respect for Ash was in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had beaten Brandon in a Pokémon battle before.<br /> <br /> Although Paul finds most of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by how Ash contradicts himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then uses similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's.<br /> [[File:Reggie and Paul.png|left|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]]<br /> Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]], [[Nurse Joy]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} .<br /> <br /> Following Reggie's suggestion in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul battled {{Ash}} in a [[full battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. Here, he shows his true colors in battle and, despite Ash's {{p|Chimchar}} evolving into {{AP|Monferno}}, he won the match easily with only at a loss of two Pokémon overall, where one defeated three of Ash's Pokémon nearly single-handed. He had his Pokémon use a broad variety of strategies, which he kept up his sleeve until this battle, such as tempting Ash to send his {{AP|Staraptor}} up against his {{p|Torterra}} so he could attack it with {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} using {{m|Light Screen}} to aid its comrades, using his Ursaring against [[Ash's Pikachu]] so as to activate its {{a|Guts}} ability, and his {{p|Magmortar}} using {{m|Rock Tomb}} to protect itself against Water-type attacks. As a result, his strategy of completely overwhelming and outsmarting Ash with his more powerful Pokémon team succeeded.<br /> <br /> In [[DP155]] it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight badges he required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].<br /> <br /> Paul reappeared in [[DP163]], encountering Ash for the first time since their full battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time, however Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead. He later watched the battle between [[Ash's Monferno]] and [[Barry's Empoleon]] and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of [[Team Rocket]]'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of [[Paul's Electabuzz|his Electabuzz]]. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised it. When asked by Ash if they could have another full battle, Paul confirmed they would in the [[Sinnoh League]], and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.<br /> <br /> This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:<br /> ===On hand===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |trainer=Paul<br /> |pkmn=Torterra<br /> |type1=Grass<br /> |type2=Ground<br /> |img=Paul Torterra.png<br /> |epnum=DP040<br /> |epname=Top-Down Training!<br /> |vajp=Unshō Ishizuka<br /> |vaen=Jimmy Zoppi{{!}}Billy Beach<br /> |desc={{p|Torterra}} is Paul's strongest Pokémon and his {{pkmn2|starter}} as well.

After a fierce battle, both Pokémon fainted and the battle ended up in a draw.<br /> <br /> In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle where it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Infernape|Ash's Chimchar]].

This culminated in the tag battle tournament arc where he was forced to battle alongside Ash.

However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name &quot;Nugai&quot; during that time, coined by Bulbagarden admin Pie as a play on the phrase &quot;new guy&quot;.<br /> * His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl|s}}, in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}. This can also be applied to his Japanese name&amp;mdash; the Japanese word for &quot;pearl&quot; is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''. His Japanese name also shares the Japanese name of [[Lake Verity]].<br /> [[Image:GameFreak Silver.jpg|thumb|Sketch of Silver]]<br /> * Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar in that they both are rather cold towards not only the people around them, but also to their Pokémon. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{adv|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Adventures. Both have an {{p|Ursaring}}. Both have also owned a {{p|Murkrow}} at one point, and assuming Paul caught his {{p|Weavile}} as a {{p|Sneasel}}, both have owned a Sneasel at one point. Furthermore, when Silver had a cameo in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', he was seen with a Nidoking, another Pokémon that Paul has.<br /> ** Furthermore, both have challenged, been defeated easily by, and been advised about raising their Pokémon properly i.e with love and care, by their respective regional [[Champion|Champions]], [[Lance]] and [[Cynthia]] respectively. However, while Lance's words were the catalyst for Silver becoming a better person, it is unknown yet if Cynthia's words have really affected Paul in any way.<br /> * The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]]. <br /> ** {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.<br /> ** {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{p|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).<br /> ** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and {{TP|Paul|Magmar|Magmortar}} were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).<br /> * Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with Ash's main rival, {{Gary}}:<br /> ** [[Paul's Torterra]] is similar to [[Gary's Blastoise]], as in that they are turtle-based [[starter Pokémon]]. <br /> ** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]].<br /> ** Gary's {{p|Magmar}} is in the same evolution family as [[Paul's Magmortar]]. <br /> ** Both trainers own a {{p|Nidoking}}. <br /> ** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like {{Gary}} did until the end of the Johto saga.<br /> * Three of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon have evolved while battling against Paul: Turtwig into {{AP|Grotle}}, Staravia into {{AP|Staraptor}}, and Chimchar into Monferno.<br /> ** However, four have evolved in the presence of Paul: the three mentioned above, and Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}.<br /> * Paul is the first regular rival seen capturing a Pokémon on screen.<br /> * Paul's Nidoking is so far the only Pokémon that Paul has to have a confirmed and known gender, due to its species.<br /> * Paul has been known to have conflicting views on his own training strategies. In one battle he claims the Trainer is at fault for all losses, yet whenever one of Paul's Pokémon has lost, Paul blames them.<br /> * Paul has been defeated very easily twice in the series.<br /> ** In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul loses to [[Cynthia]], without knocking out any of her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, hardly damaging her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, and ultimately lost - and gave up after using 4 of the 6 Pokémon in his [[party]].<br /> ** In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul loses to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, hardly injuring his [[Brandon's Regis|Regirock, Registeel and Regice]], all six of his Pokémon being defeated in the process.<br /> ** Both of these trainers spoke to him after their victory; Cynthia told Paul to raise his Pokémon with love and respect, and Brandon told him that he lost because he can't control his emotions.<br /> <br /> ===Names===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;border: 1px solid #88a; border-collapse: collapse;&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot;<br /> |- style=&quot;background: #ccf;&quot;<br /> !

<p>Futurus123: /* Intro */</p> <hr /> <div>__NOTOC__<br /> {{cleanup}}<br /> {{-}}<br /> {{incomplete}}<br /> {{Be Happy}}<br /> <br /> ==Broad Terms==<br /> General terms that can apply to a number of different Pokémon.<br /> ===Annoyer===<br /> A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]], mostly due to the fact that they rely too much on luck.<br /> Though two relatively common annoyers in 4th gen are {{p|Jirachi}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) and {{p|Togekiss}} ({{a|Serene Grace}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}) these Pokémon are also known as paraflinchers.<br /> <br /> ===Anti-Leads===<br /> Anti-Leads are Pokémon that are used to counter common leads. These Pokémon might be carrying a choice scarf to outspeed the opposing expected lead and then carry a super effective attack. An example of a Pokémon like this is {{p|Weavile}}, it is fast, it can taunt to prevent hazards, it can also use a combination of [[Focus Sash]] and {{m|Counter}} to KO opposing leads. {{p|Gengar}} is another example of this, holding Focus Sash and with {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Hypnosis}} and other moves to disable Pokémon. {{p|Forretress}} can also be considered an anti-lead. as it commonly carries [[Gyro Ball]] which is super effective on leads such as Weavile and {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Forretress}} can also deal with Hazards set up by {{p|Aerodactyl}} by {{m|Rapid Spin}} and can also break Focus Sashes with this move.<br /> <br /> ===Baton Passer===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Ninjask commonly carry substitute and Leichi berry so that it can baton pass 4 speed boosts, a Leichi berry boost, and possibly a few swords dances or a substitute. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}. Though this only affects Pseudo-Hazers who use roar or whirlwind, other pseudo hazers, such as Pokémon who use perish song are unaffected, though baton passing to a Mr.Mime who is not affected because of soundproof is not affected by this.<br /> <br /> ===Baton Pass Chain===<br /> Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself. A good example of a Pokémon that can set this up is {{p|Ninjask}} because of {{a|Speed Boost}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Swords Dance}}.<br /> <br /> ===Choice Bander/CBer===<br /> A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.<br /> <br /> ===Clause===<br /> Akin to House Rules, Clauses are various rules that fans apply to their battles. Since most player battles are free-for-alls, players usually agree on restrictions for moves, items and tiers. There also exist several official clauses that are usually applied to Stadium/Colosseum battles in the console connectivity games and Battle Tower challenges. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] is currently the only official way for players to battle with these clauses enforced by the game.<br /> <br /> ===Counter===<br /> A Pokémon that is able to successfully switch into the opposing Pokémon and is subsequently able to defeat it after switching in. For example, {{p|Gliscor}} is a counter to {{p|Heracross}}, since it resists Heracross's strongest attacks, {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Close Combat}}, and can defeat it easily with the Flying-type attack, {{m|Aerial Ace}}.<br /> ===Decoy/Death Fodder===<br /> Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy/Death Fodder is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy/Death Fodder.<br /> <br /> ===DDer===<br /> Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.<br /> <br /> ===Dual Screens===<br /> The combination of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}}, improving the team's defenses. {{m|Brick Break}} can be used to break dual screens. <br /> <br /> ===Endureversal/Flailer===<br /> A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a [[Salac Berry]] or a [[Liechi Berry]], tying in with the previous strategy.<br /> <br /> ===Evasion clause===<br /> The use of evasion boosting moves like {{m|Double Team}}, or {{m|Minimize}}, is forbidden under the Evasion Clause. Similar moves which instead decrease the opposing Pokémon's accuracy, such as {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Mud Bomb}}, are more widely accepted. {{m|Acupressure}} can increase the user's evasion, but still does not fall under this clause.<br /> <br /> ===Glass Cannon===<br /> A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use. <br /> <br /> ===Hax===<br /> Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Hax can be manipulated in many different ways, including the use of [[items]] such as [[Quick Claw]], [[Focus Band]], or [[Brightpowder]], the use of moves such as {{m|Fissure}} or {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Critical hits and extra effects of attacks, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} burning the foe, are often considered hax. though with an attack that is specifically used for its chance to do something (I.E. discharge/lava plume for 30% status) also if an ability is used to increase the chance of something (I.E. super luck for critical hits, serene grace) are also generally not considered hax because with those abilities, many of times, it is more likely to hit a crit(super luck) or get the status(serene grace) than not. A very common version of hax is parahax.<br /> <br /> ===Hazer===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Much like a '''Spiker''', it can have any combination of moves along with Haze. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Articuno}}, make good Hazers.<br /> <br /> ===HM slave===<br /> <br /> {{main|HM Slave}}<br /> <br /> An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs (7 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.<br /> {{p|Tropius}} is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including {{m|Fly}}.<br /> <br /> ===HP===<br /> Usually used as an abbreviation for &quot;Hit Points&quot;, but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, &quot;HP Water&quot; refers to a Hidden Power that is of the {{type2|Water}}.<br /> <br /> ===IV Battle===<br /> A level 100 Wi-Fi battle where the purpose is not actually to battle, but to observe what the Pokémon's stats will look like at level 100, which is the most optimal way to calculate what the Pokémon's IVs are. This is typically done with freshly hatched Pokémon, as EVs don't have to be included in such calculations.<br /> <br /> ===Lead===<br /> The starting [[Pokémon]] of a team. In general, these Pokémon do at least one of two things, set up hazards or prevent your opponent from setting up hazards. Examples of Pokémon that do both are {{p|Aerodactyl}} ({{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}), {{P|Forretress}} ({{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}) and {{p|Tentacruel}} ({{m|Rapid Spin}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}). An example of Pokémon that only set up hazards is {{p|Heatran}} ({{m|Stealth Rock}}). An example of a lead that only prevents hazards is {{p|Weavile}} ({{m|Taunt}}).<br /> <br /> ===Legit===<br /> A shortened form of '''legitimate''', refers to Pokémon that haven't been [[cheating|cheated]] or hacked in any way. This includes acquiring or modifying Pokémon via a [[GameShark]], [[Action Replay]], [[Pokésav]], etc. It is commonly used among players who are trading rare [[Event Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> ===Level Clause===<br /> All Pokémon used by both trainers should be close to the same level, which is usually 50 or 100. With the advent of Diamond and Pearl, WiFi battles are capable of setting Pokémon levels to 50 or 100 (rounding them up or down as necessary), so a Level Clause really only applies to local battles.<br /> <br /> ===[[Masuda method]]===<br /> A technique used to hatch {{shiny2}} {{pkmn|egg}}s involving Pokémon originating from games of different languages.<br /> <br /> ===Mono-Team===<br /> A Pokémon team that is entirely of one certain type, or even one species. These are more common on Random PBR matches than in serious matches. This is often countered since they can bring in something that has an unadultered type advantage. For example, one may have a team consisting only of {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, while the opponent may have a {{p|Honchkrow}} with above-average [[Stats|Attack]] stats and an above-average [[Stats|Speed]] stat that knows moves such as {{m|Dark Pulse}} or {{m|Night Slash}}, used to easily and quickly defeat the all-Ghost team.<br /> <br /> ===Mono-color===<br /> A way to play using Pokémon of only one color. E.g. {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Cradily}}, [[Shiny]] {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Politoed}} and {{p|Breloom}}.<br /> <br /> ===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===<br /> These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:<br /> *{{m|Sheer Cold}}<br /> *{{m|Fissure}}<br /> *{{m|Horn Drill}}<br /> *{{m|Guillotine}}<br /> <br /> In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.<br /> <br /> ===Pinch Berry===<br /> Any one of the following: {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Lansat}}, and {{b|Starf}}. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name). Petaya, Salac and Liechi are the most commonly used, as extra defense typically isn't very useful when health is that low. Though usually found on Enduring, Substituting or Belly Drumming Pokémon, {{p|Drifblim}} does well with [[Petaya Berry]] in combination with the {{a|Unburden}} ability.<br /> <br /> ===Pokes===<br /> Short form for Pokémon. Used in many forums.<br /> <br /> ===Pseudo Passer===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and/or {{m|Reflect}} in it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.<br /> <br /> ===Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)===<br /> A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, which is intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A '''Shuffler''' can also be a PHazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Perish Song}} or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a PHazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Priority Move===<br /> A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat. The priority moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}.<br /> <br /> ===Sashed===<br /> A Pokémon that is holding a [[Focus Sash]], usually a very frail one such as {{p|Dugtrio}} or {{p|Weavile}}, so it can survive a hit.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===<br /> A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}} as well as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then PHazing and repeating. Often used in tandem with a Spiker for best results. Countered by a '''Cleric''', or simply by attacking each time they try to PHaze.<br /> <br /> ===Sleep clause===<br /> A rule whereby the use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted. Pokémon Battle Revolution supports the Sleep Clause, and custom rule sets can choose to enforce it or not.<br /> <br /> ===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===<br /> A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.<br /> Though {{p|Milotic}} also has Recover, the resttalker set is sometimes used because of its ability, though generally, moves such as recover are better.<br /> <br /> ===Species clause===<br /> A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Gorebyss}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. If the Pokémon has many different formes that are very different from each other, such as {{p|Wormadam}}, more than one Wormadam may be used without breaking species clause because of the big difference in the formes. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.<br /> <br /> ===Spiker===<br /> A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that is the only requirement, there are many variations to spiker movesets. Effective ones utilize {{m|Roar}}/{{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.<br /> <br /> ===STAB===<br /> [[Same-type attack bonus]]. Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types (e.g. a Garchomp gets STAB for Dragon-type as well as Ground-type attacks). The ability {{a|Adaptability}} increases STAB's multiplier to 2x.<br /> <br /> ===Staller===<br /> Much like the '''Tank''', this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as [[Poison]], [[Burn]], {{m|Leech Seed}}, and weather conditions) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}}, or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a '''Cleric''', the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).<br /> <br /> ===Standard rules===<br /> It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sleep clause|sleep clause]], Evasion Clause and Species Clause.<br /> <br /> ===Sweeper===<br /> A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or &quot;sweeping,&quot; an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.) mixed sweepers can also be used as wall breakers which are mixed sweepers whose attacks are specifically chosen to take down common walls, like Close Combat for Blissey or Fire Blast for Skarmory. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.<br /> <br /> ===Tank===<br /> A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.<br /> <br /> ===Trapper===<br /> A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.<br /> <br /> ===Trickbander===<br /> A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}} to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a Tank, Annoyer or Special Sweeper). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In Generation IV, with the introduction of Choice Specs and Choice Scarf, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.<br /> <br /> ===Trickbracer===<br /> Similar to the '''Trickbander''', a Trickbracer gives the opponent the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Macho Brace}} instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most Sweepers in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In Generation IV, the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way, while the {{a|Klutz}} ability seems to exist so that the Pokémon using Trick doesn't have to suffer the effects of the item they are Tricking to the opponent.<br /> <br /> ===Type Coverage===<br /> Type coverage refers to combinations of attacks that are unresisted. Common combinations for coverage are BoltBeam (only resisted by {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Magnezone}}, and negated by {{p|Shedinja}}'s {{a|Wonder Guard}}) which is {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, or any combination of Electric-type and Ice-type attacks. {{type2|Ghost}}/{{type2|Dark}}/{{type2|Dragon}}+{{type2|Fighting}} attacks have perfect coverage, due to the fact that Ghost-type and Dragon-type moves together are all resisted by only Dark and Steel types (Dark-types resisting Ghost, and Steel-types resisting both). Both of these types are defensively weak to Fighting-type moves, meaning at best, a dual-typed Steel or Dark Pokémon will be neutral to Fighting (at worst, 4x weak). Thus all currently known Pokemon are at least neutral to these combinations.<br /> <br /> ===Untouched===<br /> Often abbreviated as ''UT'', it refers to Pokémon that haven't gained any [[Experience|EXP]] since they were {{pkmn2|caught|captured}}, [[trade|received]], or {{pkmn|egg|hatched}}. It is commonly used among players who are trading specially {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} or [[Event Pokémon]].<br /> <br /> ===Wall===<br /> A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.<br /> <br /> ==Specific Sets==<br /> Sets that are only seen on one to several Pokémon or are best known on a single Pokémon.<br /> ===Atmacune===<br /> A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Return}} and {{m|Roar}}. Not usable in Generation III or IV because {{m|Curse}} is no longer available in Suicune's movelist due to losing [[TM]] status.<br /> <br /> ===Bellyzard===<br /> A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}/{{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. Held item is a [[Salac Berry]]. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the [[Salac Berry]] as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical Fire attack.<br /> <br /> ===Boltbeam===<br /> A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.<br /> <br /> ===CalmCune===<br /> A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.<br /> <br /> ===Celetran===<br /> A combination of {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Heatran}} used in the same team, this works because Celebi covers all of Heatran's weaknesses and Heatran covers all of Celebi's weaknesses. Both of these Pokémon have mixed wall stats, they can take on both Physical and Special hits.<br /> <br /> There are other combinations like this, such as {{p|Latias}} and a {{type2|Steel}} is a combination that resists every type in the game, though these combinations are not as well known.<br /> <br /> ===ChainChomp===<br /> {{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed Sweeper with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard physical wall by taking advantage of most physical walls lacking a good {{stat|Special Defense}} stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.<br /> <br /> ===Cleric===<br /> A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.<br /> <br /> ===Curselax===<br /> A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common user (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't Ghosts). Especially useful in a team using {{m|Trick Room}} as the Speed drops become Speed boosts instead.<br /> <br /> ===F.E.A.R.===<br /> <br /> {{main|F.E.A.R}}<br /> <br /> A last resort strategy involving a low-level {{p|Rattata}} holding a [[Focus Sash]] with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It aims to catch the opponent off-guard when he/she sees the low-level Rattata and attacks. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack, lowering the opponent's HP to 1. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent. There are many variations of this set that can be used by any Pokémon with {{m|Endeavor}} and a priority move. For instance, it has been used by a Dodrio in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].<br /> <br /> ===Flinchax===<br /> A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a flinch move such as {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, {{m|Snore}}, {{m|Stomp}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, giving the foe only a 52% chance to use their attack. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor in [[Generation III]], because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with {{m|Zen Headbutt}} or {{m|Iron Head}}, the latter only through a [[move tutor]] in Platinum.<br /> <br /> ===McIceGar===<br /> A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]], {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, and so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}} instead.<br /> <br /> ===MixApe===<br /> A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.<br /> <br /> ===[[Pseudo-legendary]]===<br /> Any of the following Pokémon: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}. These Pokémon have noticeably astounding [[stats]] and diverse movepools.<br /> <br /> ===RNG===<br /> An abbreviation for Random Number Generator. Players often manipulate the RNG to gain increased chances of catching [[shiny Pokémon]] and getting Pokémon with better [[IV|IVs]]<br /> <br /> ===ScarfChomp===<br /> A {{p|Garchomp}} holding the item [[Choice Scarf]], whose speed is multiplied by 1.5.<br /> <br /> ===Seeder===<br /> Seeders are Pokémon that use {{m|Leech Seed}} to force switches, drain HP to heal themselves, or wear down defensive Pokémon. They are often used with {{m|Substitute}} known as Subseeders. Subseeders are often fast Pokémon that repeatedly use substitute while the opponent is afflicted with leech seed. The healing of leech seed allows them to gain back the health they lost from substitute while the opponent's health is slowly worn down. Examples of Subseeders are {{p|Jumpluff}} and {{p|Sceptile}}.<br /> <br /> ===Skarmbliss===<br /> A combination of {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} used in the same team, which is designed to abuse Skarmory's high Defense stat and numerous resistances, as well as Blissey's high Special Defense stat and extraordinary HP stat. It is very difficult to beat if one is not prepared, so most teams carry a SkarmBliss counter. this combination does not work as well in 4th gen because of the physical/special split. in 3rd gen, Skarmory's weaknesses were special, so Blissey could cover those weaknesses well, and also, Blissey's weakness was physical so Skarmory took that well. Now with the physical/special split, it isn't as reliable.<br /> <br /> ===SpecsMence===<br /> A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. <br /> <br /> ===Suicide Spiker/Rocker===<br /> A {{p|Forretress}} with the moveset consisting of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Set up all the traps then use explosion so the next Pokémon has to deal with the brunt of the attacks of the spikes taking up to 50% of their HP and being badly poisoned. Works well with a roarer to make all of the opponent's Pokémon suffer.<br /> <br /> ===Suicide Lead===<br /> A moveset in which the user is equipped with a [[Focus Sash]]. The purpose of this moveset is to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}}, while anticipating an attack that could OHKO the user, but survives with the [[Focus Sash]]. This is a very common moveset for leading {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.<br /> <br /> ===Subpasser===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}. Although any Pokémon that can learn Baton Pass can pass Substitutes, Pokémon with high HP are preferred so that the Substitute passed will also have a high HP. Subpassing is beneficial as it allows for a Pokémon to have a Substitute with a much higher HP than it could make itself. If such a Substitute is passed to a Wall or Tank, the opponent will have a hard time breaking the Substitute right away, allowing the target to reap the benefits of the Substitute, such as immunity to status effects. Subpasses can also pass defense boosts to make the Substitutes even harder to break, but then that only leaves them one move for attacking, making them very vulnerable to Taunt.<br /> <br /> ===Subpuncher===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Works best with slower Pokémon as the Substitute may end up being broken the turn it's made if the Subpuncher goes first. Slightly harder to use in Double Battles where the two Pokémon could gang up on the Subpuncher to break the Substitute and hit the Pokémon. Countered by Thick Club Marowak whose Bonemerang usually does enough damage to break the Substitute on the first hit, allowing the second hit to attack the Subpuncher directly. It's also is countered by Technician Ambipom who might break the Substitute on the first hit of Double Hit.<br /> <br /> ===Sunnybeamer===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, or {{m|Moonlight}}, for increased HP recovery<br /> <br /> ===Thunderdancer===<br /> A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.<br /> <br /> ===TyraniBoah===<br /> A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' (or in Tyranitar's case, BoltCrunch) combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.<br /> <br /> ===Wondertomb/Wondereye===<br /> A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. Also, {{m|Future Sight}} and {{m|Doom Desire}} will strike through Wonder Guard as well, and do not take type into account so Future Sight will still damage the partial dark type Spiritomb and Sableye. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.<br /> <br /> ==Tier==<br /> {{main|Tiers}}<br /> A tier is a list of Pokémon in the metagame selected based on numerous traits, such as how the Pokémon's stats are distributed, its type and moves, and overall ability in battle.<br /> <br /> ==={{DL|Tiers|Uber}}===<br /> A tier of the metagame, currently the highest there is. It is mostly consisted of legendaries, although not all of them are in the Uber tier.<br /> <br /> ====[[Tiers#Borderline|BL]]====<br /> Borderline. A tier of the metagame. It is the third highest tier, in between OU and UU.<br /> <br /> ====[[Tiers#Over-Used|OU]]====<br /> Over-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is the second highest tier, only surpassed by Uber.<br /> <br /> ====[[Tiers#Under-Used|UU]]====<br /> Under-Used. A tier of the metagame that is the second lowest, not counting NFE.<br /> <br /> ====[[Tiers#Never-Used|NU]]====<br /> Never-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is currently the lowest tier to date, not counting NFE. This tier first appeared in Generation III.<br /> <br /> ====NFE====<br /> Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:<br /> * {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]<br /> * {{p|Magneton}}<br /> * {{p|Scyther}}<br /> * {{p|Porygon2}}<br /> * {{p|Vigoroth}}<br /> * {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}<br /> * {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]<br /> <br /> Some NFEs do exactly the same as their evolution. These may also be used competitively, but only in lower [[tier]]s than their evolution. For example, {{p|Chansey}} can be used in UU because its evolution {{p|Blissey}} is in OU, which makes it banned from UU. Another example of this is {{p|Munchlax}} in NU. there are some Pokémon that work in OU that are NFEs, such as Porygon 2, because it fits in differently from its evolution, Porygon-Z.<br /> <br /> {{Project Fandom notice}}<br /> [[Category:Lists]]<br /> [[Category:Fanon terminology]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Strategie-Glossar]]<br /> [[es:Terminología Metagame]]</div>

His starter Pokémon is a {{p|Cyndaquil}} which he &quot;borrowed&quot; from [[Professor Elm]]; what his actual first Pokémon was is not clear, since he grew up in a house full of Pokémon. His neighbors in [[New Bark Town]] refer to his family as the &quot;House of Pokémon.&quot; He likes playing billiards, but sometimes he may use his Pokémon to cheat. His favorite idol/DJ is [[DJ Mary]] from the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Radio Station.<br /> <br /> He usually wears a pair of goggles and travels on a scooter. Instead of throwing/kicking his Poké Balls, he uses a billiard cue to shoot them out. Gold's hobbies include gambling, skateboarding, and trying foods from different cities. [[Professor Oak]] noted that while {{adv|Red}} had some odd habits, Gold is much more immature and mischievous.<br /> <br /> Gold's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon hatching and is known as the '''&quot;Breeder'''&quot; (孵す者 ''Breeder''). He has the ability to draw out the largest potential of a baby Pokémon, having lived with Pokémon his whole life.<br /> <br /> ==Character history==<br /> ==={{chap|Gold, Silver &amp; Crystal}}===<br /> [[‎Image:GoldGSCchapter.png|left|thumb|Gold at the beginning of the third chapter]]<br /> During the first part of the third chapter, Gold is the main protagonist. He first meets [[Joey]] by helping him get a bag filled with Pokémon that was to go to Professor Elm, but was stolen by a Murkrow. Then Gold gets his bag stolen when he decides to help Joey by going to deliver the package to Professor Elm and then go to Professor Oak in Cherrygrove City (mainly because he wanted DJ Mary's autograph). on his way to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, and arrives there just as {{adv|Silver}} is stealing {{TP|Silver|Totodile|Feraligatr}}. Gold tries to battle Silver thinking that he is the one who stole his backpack with all of his family Pokémon in it, using Elm's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, which he names [[Explotaro]], but Silver gets away after Team Rocket, the real culprits behind his bag, knocked him out from behind in the middle of the battle. He is then asked to file a report against him by a police officer who almost arrested him for burning Professor Elm's field but he fakes it on purpose because he wanted to go after Silver himself.<br /> <br /> Gold then runs into Professor Oak, and after learning about the Pokédex and how Silver stole one, he wants one to level the playing field. While Oak initially says no, Gold eventually wins him over with his love and trust for Pokémon earning him a Pokédex. When Gold reaches Violet City he realizes that [[Poltaro]] was missing from his bag and tried his best to find it, but couldn't. He then stops a robber with a herd of Donphan and learns that Silver had headed for [[Sprout Tower]] and rushes off there and defeats a whole mass of Sages and their Bellsprout to find Silver again and finish what he started. After as long battle he had the chance to take Totodile back to Professor Elm, but when he reaches out to it it bites him and returns to Silver, showing that Totodile has actually grown attached to him. Their battle had then released a giant iron ball and it chased them down until Explotaro heated it up and Totodile used Ice Punch to suddenly cool it down and smash it up. After this Silver manages to escape once again.<br /> <br /> He then met up with the same police officer he met when he needed to describe Silver but it turned out to be [[Falkner]] who was training to become the new Gym Leader of Violet City since his father went missing. With Gold's help he caught a {{p|Skarmory}} and then they parted. Then he met [[Bugsy]] at the ruins of Alph and, thinking that he was a girl, asked him out only to reveal he was a manly man. The two of them then enter the Ruins of Alpha to help save Bugsy's lost companions but instead run into Team Rocket, who trapped them using a Spinarak's Spider Web. Gold, however, had Explotaro use Smokescreen to get the Unown that were awakened by them get caught in the web, and take out their anger on the members of Team Rocket. Gold then defeats a Granbull who had been stealing Pokémon from fisherman and when the Granbull gave back the Pokémon it took one of them was Gold's long missing Poltaro. Professor Oak's aide then comes to him with Totaro's egg and Professor Elm asks Gold to take it with him with hopes of it hatching.<br /> <br /> Gold then meets Kurt, and after making fun of his Apricorn Balls, Kurt challenges him to catch a Pokémon with one, if he lost, however, he had to become Kurt's apprentice. Gold chooses the Green Apricorn and a Friend Ball is made and since Kurt's grand daughter wanted to have a Friend Ball but Kurt would not make her one, Gold decided to use it to catch a friend for her. The Pokémon she wanted was a {{p|Teddiursa}} which lived on a mountain Kurt told her to never go to. Gold decided to take her there and saw Silver trying to catch and Ursaring with a Heavy Ball, something that annoyed him since Kurt said only worthy trainers could handle his balls meaning Silver was worthier then him. He found a Teddiursa but when he first tried to catch it, it didn't even open. He ended up getting in Silver's way a lot and Silver lost his Heavy Ball when Ataro ran into him. Gold then learned from Silver that he needed to hit Teddiursa's crescent moon on its head and Gold got back his Heavy Ball by using his Billiard Cue and Friend Ball to ricochet both of them back to their respective trainers. Silver once again disappeared and Gold completed his task and gave Teddiursa to Maisy.<br /> <br /> Gold then goes through the [[Ilex Forest]] but finds himself hopelessly lost. He then finds the unconscious Charcoal Kiln and his Farfetche'd and decides to carry them, but he realizes that a {{p|Gastly}} has possessed them from how unusually heavy their bodies were. After a bit of battling with Gastly a {{p|Houndour}}, a {{p|Delibird}}, and an {{p|Ariados}} appear to battle alongside the Gastly and then a [[Masked Man]] appears and reveals them to be his Pokémon and warns Gold to leave this forest. He quickly has his Ariados tie Gold up and simply disappears when he comes to the realization that his small scuffle with Gold has caused Celebi to flee from his grasp again.<br /> <br /> Gold then goes to Goldenrod City and runs into a rogue Smeargle that paints over his face, much to his ire. A man then comes up to him and wants Gold to make an appearance on their Radio Show, which Gold accepts since he would be no longer be broke and he would get to finally meet DJ Mary, only to discover in horror that the Smeargle belonged to her. Gold and Whitney then got into a heated argument but when the director of the radio show found that the show's ratings were through the roof he proposed they have a race. Since the race was sponsored by Miracle Cycle Gold initially couldn't ride his skateboard like he wanted to but he found a way to compromise by putting the handles from one of the bikes onto his skateboard to make a scooter. While Gold was promptly behind Whitney was stalled by a {{p|Sudowoodo}} disguised as a tree. Gold had his whole team attack it and saw how Poltaro's Water Gun made it react more than Explotaro's [[Ember]] attacks. When a Rhydon came up and kidnapped Whitney, Gold was able to figure out that the tree was a Sudowoodo. He was able to convince the Sudowoodo that it was strong and after it defeated the same Rhydon it was hiding from, it wanted to go with him, which Gold allowed, naming him Utaro.<br /> <br /> While Gold was asleep one night after being kicked out of several arcades for cheating by using Ataro's Pokéball disguised as a cue ball, his Egg gets stolen by a {{p|Gligar}}. He does not wake up to notice it but his Pokémon go after it to save the egg. In the process the Egg hatches into a {{p|Togepi}}, Totaro, who defeats the Gligar with ease even though it had just hatched. He only wakes up after Totaro defeats the Gligar with {{m|Metronome}} and it crashes right next to him. When Gold told Professor Elm he was at first ecstatic, only to become furious when he realized that Totaro became a natural at billiards, poker, and dice due to Gold's influence when it was an egg.<br /> <br /> Elm then had Gold take Totaro to the Daycare Center where the old lady there convinced him to do their work by disguising it as a training for his Pokémon. It did pay off though when Explotaro evolved into a {{p|Quilava}}. The Day Care coupe then had Gold go fetch Jasmine, whose Pokémon were the parents of Totaro. Jasmine had been at [[Ecruteak City]] at the time an earthquake hit and was trapped inside the [[Bell Tower]]. When he made it to her he found Silver carrying her and he thought he had hurt her, although Silver simply found her unconscious and decided to save her. Gold then was simply given Jasmine and Silver walked away. Gold was able to get Jasmine out right before the rubble collapsed by having [[Amphy]] run her to safety, but him and Silver were trapped. Mud started to press up against then and they only made it through when Poltaro evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and further into a {{p|Politoed}} thanks to Silver's help and the [[King's Rock]] the Day Care Couple gave to Gold before he departed. He then found out that Team Rocket was, once again, the cause of the earthquake.<br /> <br /> After Gold and Silver defeat the Team Rocket Grunts, Gold wonders whether or not Silver has ever enjoyed a battle, and requests one against him, to which he accepts. The battle starts out and remains pretty even, even against Silver's newly evolved {{p|Kingdra}}, until Silver uses a Tyranitar borrowed from Lance, which is able to wreak havoc on Gold's whole team with its {{m|Sandstorm}} but is able to defeat it with Totaro, however Totaro gets squashed and Gold is defeated. Silver then departs for the [[Lake of Rage]] with Gold insisting on coming with him.<br /> <br /> Gold then follows Silver to the Lake of Rage, and he helps Silver in catching the [[Red Gyarados]] by distracting the other Gyarados, and once their leader was caught by Silver, they went away. However, they run into the Masked Man again and the two of them fight over who's to battle him. Shortly after the battle begins he reveals that he kidnapped Silver as a child and that he escaped, and that he's the real leader of the resurrected Team Rocket. Silver then gained Gold's respect and the two bounced back.<br /> [[File:GoldRedheadingoff.png|right|thumb|Gold and Red heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]<br /> Gold and Silver realize that they share a common enemy and battle the Masked Man together at the [[Lake of Rage]], but they are defeated and sent crashing toward the now-frozen [[Lake of Rage]], and their fates are left unknown for a while.<br /> <br /> It is later revealed the two boys are in [[Whirl Islands]], as rescued by Entei, where they are found by [[Lt. Surge]], and their missing valuables, including the Red Gyarados, are returned. They meet {{adv|Crystal}} after she nearly drowns in the wreckage and battle the rabid {{p|Lugia}} that starts attacking them, and they are all nearly defeated until his Quilava, [[Silver's Croconaw]], and Crystal's [[Mega]] all evolve into their final forms. The tables nearly turned when Gold even disabled the giant bird's [[Aeroblast]] attack and their starters all evolve to their final stage, but Gold fails at catching it due to his missing billiard cue, and it is later discovered that someone managed to catch it before they did when the Pokéball they threw turned out to be empty. Having failed to track it down with the Area function of the Pokédex, Gold and Crystal then head to the opening ceremony of the Pokémon League, where all 16 [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] have gathered to battle each other, to try and determine which one of the Gym Leaders is the Masked Man. They battle [[Chermaine]] and [[Keane]] in the Control Room and end up winning with a powerful [[Mega Drain]], but are locked in until Crystal's Parasect melts the door. The Masked Man then appears at the scene with both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and starts wreaking havoc before heading to the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] in [[Ilex Forest]], where the final battle then takes place.<br /> <br /> Gold battles the Masked Man and finds out his real [[Pryce|identity]] by smashing his mask after a clever combination that corners the villian, but to avoid defeat, the dastardly man, threatens to crush [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]]'s egg if he attacks once more. Gold is horribly beaten by the nemesis, but his efforts of attempting to protect the egg in his arms cause it to hatch into [[Pichu]], which inherits his personality as a result. After being reassured of his ability as the breeder of the Dex Holders, he then follows the villain back in time with Silver and Crystal on the three legendary beasts, and eventually manages to escape after freeing Celebi. At the end of the GSC saga, Gold goes to train under {{adv|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]].<br /> <br /> ==={{chap|Emerald}}===<br /> [[Image:GoldEmeraldchapter.png|thumb|left|100px|Gold during the sixth chapter]]<br /> During the Emerald saga, Gold traveled to the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Hoenn}} in order to bring the petrified {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} out of their stone state by wishing upon the phantom Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}} and stop the armored man known as [[Guile Hideout]].<br /> <br /> When he first arrived, he disguised himself as Guile Hideout hoping to trick the real one's Pokémon into letting him to get to Jirachi. This plan failed however and Gold was forced to use the ultimate {{type2|Fire}} attack, {{m|Blast Burn}}, which Gold learned on [[Two Island]] thanks to the help of [[Kimberly]], which becomes the first attack the villian's reflective sword could not deflect. He also later adds that learning the technique, unlike his three predecessors and those to follow, took two whole months.<br /> <br /> Now ready to take Jirachi back from Guile Hideout, Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} prepare to face off their foe. This required Gold and Crystal to give the metal rings of Kimberly that the ultimate attacks to the starters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Silver (who was still petrified). When Gold spoke to Emerald, he made the younger boy rethink his relationship with Pokémon. This allowed Emerald to finally teach his {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} the powerful {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and in turn free the petrified Dex Holders with the help of Jirachi. Gold then combined forces with the other nine Pokédex Holders in order to destroy the great sea monster that had manifested itself above the Battle Tower.<br /> <br /> With the beast finally gone, the five petrified Pokédex Holders back to life and Archie seemingly dead, Gold went and fought in a tournament in the Battle Dome against the other Pokédex Holders, which he, at some point, lost (the only other trainer to have been confirmed to lose is {{adv|Crystal}}, who lost against Green in the first round).<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon==<br /> This list is updated to the {{chap|HeartGold &amp; SoulSilver|HeartGold &amp; SoulSilver Saga}}.<br /> ===On Hand===<br /> {{TrainerPoké<br /> |main=yes<br /> |nick=Explotaro<br /> |type1=Fire<br /> |img=Explotaro.PNG<br /> |epnum=PS091<br /> |epname=Murkrow Flies<br /> |desc=Explotaro, Gold's {{p|Typhlosion}}, was the Pokémon Gold had received from Professor Elm.

<p>Futurus123: /* Pokémon Amber */</p> <hr /> <div>'''ROM hacks''', also known as '''fangames''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many honest fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some unscrupulous people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as eBay. There are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet (a search on YouTube will easily reveal at least a dozen), so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones.<br /> <br /> It should also be noted that all current Chinese language Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.<br /> <br /> ==Moemon==<br /> [[Image:151moemon.png|thumb|right|151 Moemon]]<br /> Moemon (short for &quot;{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters&quot;) is another hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka gijinka]. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon).<br /> <br /> Moemon received a short burst of fame when it was posted to gaming site Kotaku in late 2007.[http://kotaku.com/gaming/clip/pokemon-dressed-up-in-moe-332781.php]<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Adventure==<br /> [[File:PA hack screen.jpg|left|thumb|Screenshot from &quot;Pokémon Adventure&quot;]]<br /> Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 that is for the {{wp|Game Boy Color}}. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Amber==<br /> Pokemon Amber is a hack of Pokémon Ruby which sports brand new pokemon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It was made by the hacker 'Joy,' and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like Team Rocket, which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The Maps have also been edited.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon ChaosBlack==<br /> [[Image:CAOB_START.JPG|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]<br /> Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.<br /> <br /> The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the &quot;e&quot; in &quot;Pokémon&quot;. Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game was apparantly developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Diamond and Jade==<br /> [[Image:DIAMOND_SPTART.JPG|left|thumb|The start screen of &quot;Pokémon Diamond&quot;]]<br /> <br /> Possibly the most well-known bootleg &quot;Pokémon&quot; games are the notorious '''Pokémon Diamond and Jade''' (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang was divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade was sometimes released on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2==<br /> [[Image:Pokemon_Jade_2_title_screen.gif‎|right|thumb|Title screen of &quot;Pokémon Jade 2&quot;]]<br /> Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from Keitai Denjū Telefang 2. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters. The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called &quot;Pokémon Ruby,&quot; which has no relation to the real one.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Naranja/Orange==<br /> Pokémon Naranja is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. Strangely, &quot;naranja&quot; is Spanish for the ''fruit'' orange, while &quot;anaranjado&quot; is Spanish for the ''color'' orange. This could be because many of the places in the Orange Archipelago are named after fruits. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen. <br /> <br /> This game is based on the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].<br /> <br /> This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.<br /> <br /> The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.<br /> <br /> Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and Shiny Gold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Marble==<br /> Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Brown==<br /> [[Image:Pokemon_Brown.png|thumb|right|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]<br /> Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's &quot;Rated M&quot; ROM hack &quot;Fukemon&quot;, titled &quot;Fukemon 2&quot;. Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack has a complete change of all maps and has some minor script tweaks. Also, almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region. The maker of this hack announced a remake of Pokémon Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, and new additions to the storyline.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Prism==<br /> [[Image:Mapaf1.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]<br /> Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007. [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=120692] It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems (not fully implemented as of the second beta release) and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon Quartz==<br /> [[Image:MarbleBattle.PNG|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between Caterpie and Doduo's replacements]]<br /> Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as &quot;Corna&quot;, a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay.<br /> <br /> While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.<br /> <br /> Zorak of Something Awful did a complete Let's Play [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Quartz/index.html playthrough of the game], which ended in an interview with the creator of the hack.<br /> <br /> A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of Fire Red and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.<br /> <br /> ==Pokémon ShinyGold==<br /> [[Image:Barksh.png|thumb|right|Screenshot from ShinyGold]]<br /> [[Image:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]<br /> Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} remake, much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. It is considered by many people to be among the best and one of the highest-quality hacked games. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, Zel (the creator of the hack) placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features changes to allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.trsrockin.com/fakegames.html About hacked games]<br /> *[http://telefang.wikia.com/ Wikifang - A wiki about Telefang, the game that became Pokémon Jade and Diamond] (includes information on the fakes)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon meta]]<br /> [[Category:Games]]<br /> [[Category:Fandom]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Jeu hacké]]</div>
