<div>[[Image:Flash_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|'''Flash''' in the Generation III games.]] <br />
<br />
A '''field move''' is a move which can be used out of battle in the main [[Pokémon games]]. A fair amount of them can be taught by using a [[Hidden Machine]].<br />
<br />
== Field moves ==<br />
=== HM moves ===<br />
* {{m|Cut}}: The Pokémon can cut down small trees and long grass on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM01]] in all [[generation]]s.<br />
* {{m|Fly}}: The {{player}} can fly on the Pokémon to any previously visited city or town, or certain locations such as [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)|Battle Tower]] in [[Hoenn]]. Fly can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM02]] in all generations.<br />
* {{m|Surf}}: The player can travel on water by traveling on the Pokémon's back. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM03]] in all generations.<br />
* {{m|Strength}}: The Pokémon is able to push boulders of a certain type around. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM04]] in all generations.<br />
* {{m|Flash}}: The Pokémon can light up a cavern covered by darkness such as [[Dark Cave]]. Flash can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in the first three generations, and by using [[TM70]] in [[Generation IV]].<br />
* {{m|Whirlpool}}: The Pokémon can dismiss small whirlpools on the water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM06]] in [[Generation II]]. Since [[Generation III]] it has been a regular level-up move.<br />
* {{m|Waterfall}}: The Pokémon can climb up waterfalls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM07]] in Generation II and all subsequent generations. It was also available in [[Generation I]], but it didn't have the field move status.<br />
* {{m|Rock Smash}}: The Pokémon can smash boulders of a certain type into pieces. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM08]] in Generation II or by using [[HM06]] in Generation III and all subsequent generations.<br />
* {{m|Dive}}: The player can dive underwater when surfing in deep waters. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM08]] in {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In all other games in which the move appears it has no field move effect.<br />
* {{m|Defog}}: The Pokémon can clear out fog on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in Generation IV.<br />
* {{m|Rock Climb}}: The Pokémon can climb up rocky walls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM08]] in Generation IV.<br />
<br />
=== TM moves ===<br />
* {{m|Dig}}: The Pokémon can dig the player out of a cavern to the place where the player entered it, similar to an [[Escape Rope]]. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM28]] in all generations. Several Pokémon can also learn the move by leveling up.<br />
* {{m|Teleport}}: The Pokémon can teleport the player to the front of the last visited Pokémon Center by using telekinesis. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM30]] in Generation I, and it can be learned by many {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.<br />
* {{m|Softboiled}}: The Pokémon cuts some of its [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] to recover another Pokémon's HP. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM41]] in Generation I, and it can be learned via level-up by {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} as well as certain Pokémon via a [[move tutor]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br />
* {{m|Headbutt}}: The Pokémon can shake a small tree which may cause a [[wild Pokémon]] to fall down. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM02]] in Generation II. It was also available as a level-up move in Generation I. In Generation III, it lost its field move status.<br />
* {{m|Rock Smash}}: Can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM08]] in Generation II, and is nowadays a [[HM06|HM move]]. Clears cracked rocks; in Generation III Pokémon can occasionally be found in them.<br />
* {{m|Sweet Scent}}: The Pokémon can activate a wild Pokémon battle in tall grass, caves, and water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM12]] in Generation II, and it can be learned by many {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.<br />
* {{m|Secret Power}}: The Pokémon can clear an entrance into a big tree, a bush or an indent in a wall. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[TM43]] in Generations III and IV, but is no longer a field move in the latter.<br />
* {{m|Flash}}: Can be taught to a Pokémon by using [[HM05]] in Generations I, II, and III, and is nowadays a [[TM70|TM move]]. Lights up dark caves (previous to Generation III, the whole screen is dark; now a small circle around the player can be seen, which expands when Flash is used).<br />
<br />
=== Other moves ===<br />
* {{m|Milk Drink}}: Similar to Softboiled, the Pokémon cuts some of its [[Stats#Hit Points|HP]] to recover another Pokémon's HP. It can only be learned by {{p|Miltank}} by leveling up.<br />

'''Hall Matron Argenta''' (Japanese: '''ステージマドンナ ケイト''' ''Stage Madonna Kate'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] in charge of running the {{si|Battle Frontier}}'s [[Battle Frontier (Sinnoh)#Battle Hall|Battle Hall]]. <br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
[[Image:KatePlatinum.gif|thumb|left|Sprite image of Argenta from {{game|Platinum}}]]<br />
She is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Hall in the [[Sinnoh]] region.<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Argenta has these Pokémon when she is challenged for the silver and gold print:<br />
<br />
* '''Random each time'''. She could have anything except for the Pokémon that are not admissible in the Battle Frontier. These include {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Additionally, the Trainer cannot choose the Pokémon type.<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
====First battle====<br />
Before the battle: <br><br />
''My Battle Hall allows Trainers to mount challenges with their one favorite Pokémon. I imagine there were tense moments getting here with your chosen one. But understand that one shines the brightest when a challenge is overcome. I am Argenta, and I am your final and most daunting challenge. I dare you to overcome my challenge.''<br />
<br />
After the battle: <br><br />
''Oh...I detest how fun times seem to end so quickly.''<br />
<br />
''A good Trainer doesn't force their favorite on anyone. A good one keeps with their favorite without drama or fanfare. That is how I see it, at least. And, by the way I see it, you're an excellent Trainer! Be sure to visit the Battle Hall again with a favorite Pokémon. Until then, bye-bye!''<br />
<br />
====Second battle====<br />
Before the battle: <br><br />
''Well! My goodness, your Pokémon... It's got star power beyond belief. Even from inside its Poké Ball, I can feel its charismatic brilliance. But I'm the Hall Matron. I'll be the judge of that. I must battle it for myself and see if that brilliance is genuine. That is why we must battle now.''<br />
<br />
After the battle: <br><br />
''It's so sad how the truly fun times seem to last only a moment.''<br />
<br />
''You must never forget there is a place where everyone can shine. That goes for any kind of Pokémon, too. Spread that message in your own words. It's one everyone should hear. And now, having lost, this lady has nothing left to say at all, but... Bye-bye!''<br />

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. <br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{stone|Thunderstone}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.<br />
<br />
It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, and the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.<br />
<br />
Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are very intelligent, understanding and interpreting human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail, causing it to resemble a heart.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Exclusive to the Pikachu's subspecies is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}} but which can be used to roast [[berries]] as well.<br />
<br />
As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.<br />
<br />
Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a few rare cases, Pikachu can learn to manipulate {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. Other rare cases show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}, removing its weakness to {{t|Ground}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.<br />
<br />
Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.<br />
<br />
As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]<br />
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
<br />
Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.<br />
<br />
As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food, available at many pet stores. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Pikachu_thunderbolt.png|right|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] using {{m|Thunderbolt}}]]<br />
===Major appearances===<br />
A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.<br />
<br />
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====<br />
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode since. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon movie.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pikachusinging.png||thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] with other {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu]]<br />
Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.<br />
<br />
A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
[[File:AFriendinDeed.gif|right|thumb|{{OP|Ash|Pikachu}} and [[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]]]<br />
<br />
====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====<br />
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.<br />
<br />
====[[Ashachu]]====<br />
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].<br />
<br />
====Other====<br />
Many Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.<br />
<br />
Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{Ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.<br />
<br />
A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mewtwospikachu.jpg|right|thumb|{{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Pikachu with different ear marks]]<br />
In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.<br />
<br />
===Minor appearances===<br />
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.<br />
<br />
[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but the Pikachu was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu.<br />
<br />
A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.<br />
<br />
A {{PiPiPi|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]].<br />
<br />
A more mouse-like [[Isamu Akai's Pikachu|Pikachu]] that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].<br />
<br />
[[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
<br />
[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a [[Pikachu (Get da ze!)|Pikachu]] he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].<br />
<br />
Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].<br />
<br />
A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].<br />
<br />
In [[Golden Boys]], [[Gold (Golden Boys)|Gold]] was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.<br />
<br />
A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Special===<br />
'''Pokédex entry''': When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build up and cause lightning storms. Forest dwellers, they are few in number and exceptionally rare. The pouches in their cheeks discharge electricity at their opponents. The Pikachu are believed to be highly intelligent.<br />
<br />
Both {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Yellow}} have Pika and Chu Chu, respectively. Pika often used to shock Red repeatedly. However, Pika becomes one of Red's most valued Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, Pika is stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk are chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. Red arrives and captures it, ending the chaos.<br />
<br />
In the ninth Volume, Yellow is seen to have a new addition to her team: a Pikachu she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to Mt. Silver, Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.<br />
<br />
Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together". The egg eventually hatches into {{Special|Gold}}'s Pichu.<br />
<br />
Wild Pikachu also appeared in the RS and DP sagas.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
In the TCG, Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be at least 30 known Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as [[No.1 Trainer (Tournament promo)|No.1 Trainer]].<br />
<br />
The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.<br />
<br />
In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.<br />
<br />
==In the TFG==<br />
One Pikachu figure has been released.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Pikachu|18}}<br />
<br />
==Other appearances==<br />
Pikachu has the honor of being one of the mascots of the Smash Bros. series, alongside Mario, Link and Kirby.<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===<br />
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is in the fifth box of the second row. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].<br />
<br />
In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===<br />
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. It is initially placed to the right of Mario but moves to the bottom row after Luigi is unlocked. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].<br />
<br />
While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
=====Classic Mode=====<br />
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.<br />
<br />
=====Adventure Mode=====<br />
While its electrical attacks, such as Thunder and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional Quick Attack, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up Skull Bash.<br />
<br />
=====All-Star Mode=====<br />
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.<br />
<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===<br />
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl.]]<br />
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.<br />

====Subspace Emissary====<br />
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack.<br />

====Trophy information====<br />
''"A [[Species|Mouse Pokémon]]. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity.

<br />
==Game data==<br />
===NPC appearances===<br />
* {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.<br />

====Smash Bros.-only moves====<br />
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s Standard Special Move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.<br />
<br />
When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Pikachu's tail appears to be backwards in its [[Generation II]] back sprites, with the end of the tail pointing upwards instead of behind it.<br />
**As well as this, the tail is spiked in [[Generation I]], but straight-edged from [[Generation II]] onwards.<br />
***Also, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Pikachu's tail looks similar to Raichu's, having round, thin, brown bottom half, and the top half is thunder bolt shaped.<br />
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based off of (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.<br />
** A Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.<br />
** A Surfing Pikachu can also be won in Pokémon Stadium. Players must beat Prime Cup Master Ball R-2 using a team containing a Pikachu from the player's game pak. The Pikachu must be used in every battle, and no continues may be used. After successfully winning, the Pikachu will optionally be allowed to learn Surf.<br />
** All of Lt. Surge's Pikachu and Raichu in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] knows Surf.<br />
* Pikachu is the smallest and lightest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is not fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.<br />
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed -- to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.<br />
* Pikachu assumes a pose that is identical to the pose of the Pikachu on the box art of Yellow during its battle animation in Diamond and Pearl.<br />
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh.<br />
* Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow was the first Pokémon to naturally learn a move taught by a Gym Leader's TM ([[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}) in its introductory generation. It was the only Pokémon able to do this until Generation III.<br />
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order. <br />
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.<br />
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.<br />
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was once the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. However, since the release of {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Pearl}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}. <br />
* Pikachu was not the original [[Pokémon]] mascot. It was supposed to be {{p|Clefairy}}, but this was changed because of the popularity of [[Ash's Pikachu]].<br />
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Dex listing to have a [[Baby Pokémon|Baby]] relative.<br />
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p2|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from said game.<br />
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for; it is also the only starter who has already evolved when it is received (though Pichu did not yet exist).<br />
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio (although gender did not yet exist either).<br />
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein have amazing speed and agility.<br />
* In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, Pikachu's side B move is {{m|Skull Bash}}. Pikachu has not legally been able to have this move since [[Generation II]], and even then, only if it was traded from [[Generation I]].<br />
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Dex]] to evolve under a method other than leveling up.<br />
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode. Pikachu has also appeared in every Pokémon movie.<br />
* Pikachu's body has grown slightly longer and leaner in each succeeding generation of the main series.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice.<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Pikachu is a combination of ぴかぴか ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and ちゅうちゅう ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely.<br />
Its name may also be based on the term ''peekaboo''.<br />

<hr />
<div>A '''Cue Ball''' or '''Roughneck''' (Japanese: '''スキンヘッズ''' ''Skinhead'') is a type of {{g|Trainer}} that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They appear as gigantic, hulking bald men. Cue Balls are usually in the vicinity of [[Biker]]s, as proven by their many appearances on [[Cycling Road]]. Their Diamond/Pearl appearance has a {{p|Gyarados}} on the back of the vest, much similar to most gangs, indicating they might be thugs of some sort. Their name may be referring to their bald heads, which can resemble white billiards balls.<br />
<br />
They specialize in a combination of {{type2|Poison}} and {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]] and are sometimes depicted as being affiliated with [[Team Rocket]]. <br />

*In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Roughneck Kirby in the [[Lost Tower]] uses only one Pokémon; a [[Cleffa]]. This is highly contradictory to the established archetype for this Trainer Class. This may be a reference to Nintendo's {{wp|Kirby (character)}}.<br />
*Also in the fourth generation, the battle sprite for the Roughneck Trainer Class clearly features a {{p|Gyarados}} design on the back of his vest that is not present on the back of the vest of his field map sprite. This may possibly be attributed to the fact that field map sprites are significantly smaller than their battle sprite counterparts.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:TeamGalaxy.jpg|thumb|160px|Team Galactic]]<br />
'''Team Galactic''' (Japanese: ギンガ団 ''Ginga Dan'') is the villainous organisation in [[Sinnoh]]. Among other things, they try to entice [[Pokémon]] to do their bidding, attempt to invite the [[region]]'s [[Pokémon professor]] to do research for them, steal people's Pokémon, steal [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn (game)|Dawn]]'s [[Pokédex]], and threaten Lucas/Dawn.<br />
<br />
Unlike past criminal syndicates, the existence of Team Galactic is an openly advertised fact, even broadcasting television commercials requesting the donation of Pokémon, although their genuinely criminal operations remain covered-up. Team Galactic wants to catch the Pokémon that created the world: {{p|Dialga}} of time and {{p|Palkia}} of Space, as well as {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Uxie}} so that their leader, [[Cyrus]], can destroy the universe and rebuild it in his own image with himself as an absolute god.<br />
<br />
==Admins and Boss==<br />
Also according to an issue of CoroCoro, all of the Commanders of Team Galactic are named after planets:<br />
<br />
*Commander [[Mars]] <br />
*Commander [[Saturn]] <br />
*Commander [[Jupiter]] <br />
*Boss [[Cyrus]]<br />
<br />
(Interestingly, [[Venus]] was a [[Cipher]] admin, but Mercury has not appeared in any game.)<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
Although "Team Galactic" is not incorrect, a more literal translation of the Japanese is "Galaxy Gang", possibly a reference to the Galaxy Gang in [[wp:Pulseman|Pulseman]].<br />

[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|frame|right|A Poké Ball]]<br />
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: モンスターボール ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] critical in any [[Pokémon trainer|trainer's]] quest. It is used for [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a trainer may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as they desire. However, a trainer may only carry up to 6 [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a trainer owns more than 6 Pokémon, they may be stored in [[Bill's PC|a Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are 4 different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.<br />
<br />
A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.<br />
<br />
=Mechanics=<br />
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime.]]<br />
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a [[Pokémon battle|battle]], once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].<br />
<br />
As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.<br />
<br />
Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and it will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and points it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will.<br />
<br />
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a [[wp:Baseball (object)|baseball]], to a miniature size, about the same size as a [[wp:Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball]]. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.<br />
<br />
Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the trainer has on-hand. If the trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using.<br />
<br />
When a Pokémon is released from its ball, it usually has a burst of light come out with it. However, when a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s are used, visual effects will accompany the Pokémon's release.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.<br />
<br />
The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[PokéSpot|PokéSpots]], however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.<br />
<br />
The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found in each game (except in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV|IV]], where it is the grand prize for the Lucky Number show and at Jubilife TV, respectively). It could be sold for [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]0 in Generation II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.<br />
<br />
The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
====Super Smash Brothers====<br />
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon. The most common is Goldeen, which does nothing.<br />
<br />
===In the anime===<br />
<br />
Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades have not been seen at all.<br />
<br />
A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole, but after retrieving the ball and trying again the Wiscash gave in.<br />
<br />
Safari Balls were seen in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. In this episode, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of [[Ash's Tauros|Tauros]].<br />
<br />
Occasionally, an [[item]] will be caught instead of a [[Pokémon]], such as a [[rice ball|jelly donut]] or something else that would be smaller than the Poké Ball. These, however, are just jokes. In a commercial for [[Kids WB]], Ash caught a talking sock singing that Ash couldn't catch him.<br />

The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Thirty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all thirty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.<br />
<br />
Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
===In the anime===<br />
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Ash and [[Casey]] compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a [[Casey's Beedrill|Beedrill]], but gives it to Casey instead.<br />
<br />
The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Goin' Apricorn]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture a [[Brock's Forretress|Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a [[Misty's Corsola|Corsola]] with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.<br />

<br />
All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].<br />
<br />
The Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning [[Pokémon Contests]]. It heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.<br />
<br />
The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]] Poké Marts (or [[Kanto]] Poké Marts in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]) . However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.<br />
<br />
The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{t|Water}} type.<br />
<br />
The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].<br />
<br />
The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after defeating the [[Elite Four]].<br />
<br />
All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
===In the anime===<br />
The Luxury Ball and the Repeat Ball made a short cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', containing [[Brendan]]'s {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Shiftry}}.<br />
<br />
==[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls==<br />
===In the games===<br />
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.<br />

<br />
All of the Generation I and Generation III Poké Balls are also available, though the Dive Ball can only be obtained randomly through the man in [[Solaceon Town]] upon showing him the Pokémon he asks for, or transferred ahead held by a Pokémon through [[Pal Park]]. This is due to a lack of use for it in Sinnoh. Also, for the first time, a Ball was redesigned; that is, the Safari Ball was given a new camouflage pattern. The Park Ball is featureless and blank, somewhat like the Premier Ball, to reflect that once caught transferred Pokemon appear in their Generation III balls. The Cherish Ball cannot be acquired for use; instead, they contain Pokémon distributed at events.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
<br />
==Other Poké Balls==<br />
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.<br />
<br />
===In the games===<br />
; [[Pester Ball|Pester Balls]]<br />
: Seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.<br />
<br />
; [[GS Ball]]<br />
: Seen in [[Pokémon Crystal]], this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]]. <br />
<br />
; [[Snag Ball|Snag Balls]]<br />
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a [[Pokémon battle]] as if it were wild.<br />
<br />
===In the anime===<br />
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects<br />
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting on a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in [[Pokémon 4Ever]] when [[Professor Oak|Sammy]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design.<br />
<br />
; Solid Gold Poké Balls<br />
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.<br />
<br />
; [[Mewtwo Ball|Mewtwo Balls]]<br />
: Official name unknown. Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which are already inside other Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned.<br />
<br />
; [[GS Ball]]<br />
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. Despite this, its purpose is completely unknown, since it was never mentioned again after being given to Kurt, and has most likely been forgotten. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds.<br />
<br />
; [[Dark Ball|Dark Balls]]<br />
: These were used by [[The Iron Masked Marauder]] in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}.<br />
<br />
===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===<br />
; Dual Ball<br />
: This ball is found in both {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} ({{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Dual Ball|72}}) and {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} ({{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dual Ball|89}}).<br />
<br />
; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}<br />
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.<br />
<br />
; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}}<br />
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.<br />
<br />
; {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}}<br />
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Storm Drain''' is an [[ability]] that ''draws all {{type2|Water}} attacks to the Pokémon.'' Four [[Pokémon]] have this ability. In a [[double battle]], a Pokémon with this ability will force all water attacks to exclusively strike it; this ability is rendered ineffective in a [[Pokémon battle#1v1_Battles|single battle]]. Unlike {{a|Lightningrod}}, since no types are immune to Water, the four Pokémon with this ability take half or full damage from Water attacks, rendering it less useful in general than a Ground-type with Lightningrod.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Running Shoes''' are a piece of equipment developed by the [[Devon Corporation]]. They were introduced in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] and used in all standard [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] games.<br />
<br />
Once the player receives them from his or her mother, shortly after the beginning of the game, they allow him or her to run instead of walk, by holding the B button and pressing the D-pad in any direction. While there are a few places cannot be run through, such as very tall, thick grass or deep snow, most caves and routes, as well as some buildings, will allow for running inside of them. In [[Generation IV]], all buildings allow running, but deep snow is added in which one can sometimes run but never bike.<br />
<br />
The speed at which players can run is about twice as that of walking, yet slower than the [[Mach Bike]] or [[Acro Bike]].<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Ruby (Special)|Ruby]] has a pair of Running Shoes, given to him by his father, [[Norman]], for his birthday. They, like the in-game ones, allow Ruby to run far faster than normal.<br />

'''Meowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ニャース ''Nyarth'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon.<br />
<br />
=Biology=<br />
==Physiology==<br />
===Gender differences===<br />
None.<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Meowth are valued for their ability to create coins using {{m|Pay Day}}<br />
<br />
==Behavior==<br />
Meowth are very fond anything round and shiny. As such, they have been known to wander about city street and {{a|pickup}} anything that's round and shiny (mostly, coins). Meowth are considered rivals of {{p|Murkrow}}. This is because Murkrow are also known for stealing round and shiny objects and that these two Pokémon have been known to steal from each other's hordes.<br />
<br />
Wild Meowth tend to live in groups in urban areas.<br />
<br />
==Habitat==<br />
Meowth usually live in towns and cities. They can also occasionally be found in vibrant forests or near beaches.<br />
<br />
==Diet==<br />
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''<br />
<br />
=In the anime=<br />
[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] is one of two main Pokémon in the series, the other being [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Meowth is a member of [[Team Rocket]], and he is unlike ordinary Meowth in that he can speak human language and walk on two legs instead of four. His first appearance was in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. His background story, including another female Meowth named [[Meowzie]], was told in ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]''.<br />
<br />
[[Ash]] used a Meowth during the Pokémon League entrance exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''. The Meowth was defeated by the instuctor's {{p|Vaporeon}}.<br />
<br />
[[Tyson's Meowth]] debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]''. This Meowth was dressed up like [[wp:Puss_In_Boots|Puss in Boots]]. Team Rocket's Meowth was sceptical about the Meowth in Boots's outfit, insulted because he called him a disgrace to Meowths, and jealous because of the Meowth in Boots's moveset. However, Team Rocket's Meowth softened up to Meowth in Boots after realising that they have the same hatred for Persians in the following episode.<br />
<br />
=In the TFG=<br />

=Trivia=<br />
Meowth's Pokédex Number ''52'' just so happens to be the reversed version of {{P|Pikachu}}'s Pokédex Number of ''25''. It's not known whether this was intentional or just a coincidence. Meowth and Pikachu are the two most popular Pokémon of the franchise, and are anime rivals.<br />
==Origin==<br />
Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''[[wp:Maneki Neko|Maneki Neko]]'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lighting bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. Maneki Neko are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers or fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''koban'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head.<br />
<br />
[[Junichi Masuda]] states that Meowth is based on [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s own pet cat.<br />
===Name origin===<br />
Meowth's name appears to be a combination of ''meow'', the sound a cat makes, as well as ''mouth'', possibly referring to the [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|anime version's]] gift of gab. ''Nyarth'' is similar, with ''nyā'' being the Japanese equivalent of ''meow''.<br />

Hippowdon's name is derived from ''hippopotamus'', ''power'' or ''powder'' (as in sand), and the suffix ''-don'' which can be taken to mean ''tooth'', ''lord'', etc.<br />
<br />
Kabarudon's name is derived from the Japanese word for hippopotamus (Kaba), which it is based on.<br />

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: エルレイド ''Erlade'') is a {{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}}-type Pokémon.<br />
<br />
=Biology=<br />
==Physiology==<br />
The mini-skirt that Gallade had as a Kirlia has disappeared, though its body is hourglass shaped and its lower torso almost resembles a kilt. Gallade has white legs that are wider than its counterpart, Gardevoir's. Like its counterpart, it also has a red plate protruding from its chest and another red plate sticking out of its back. Unlike Gardevoir, however, Gallade's arms have blade-like protrusions at the elbows, and its head is shaped somewhat like a gladiator's helmet.<br />
<br />
===Gender differences===<br />
Gallade is male-only, evolving from a male {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to the [[Evolutionary stone#Dawn Stone|Dawn Stone]]. However, a Kirlia of either gender can evolve into a {{p|Gardevoir}} at level 30.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
<br />
==Behavior==<br />
All Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship.<br />
<br />
==Habitat==<br />
==Diet==<br />

<div>'''Squirtle''' (Japanese: ゼニガメ ''Zenigame'') was [[Ash_Ketchum|Ash's]] sixth Pokémon. It used to be the leader of a gang known as the [[Squirtle Squad]], who were a group of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their trainers. [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] of [[Team Rocket]] manages to befriend the Squirtle squad by convincing them that [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his pets. The Squirtle Squad then capture Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] so they can take [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] back to Meowth. Ash managed to convince the Squirtle Squad to let him free to get a Super Potion for Pikachu, who was badly injured after an earlier encounter with a [[Goldeen]]. The Squirtle Squad agree to let Ash go to town to buy a Super Potion, but if he wasn't back by noon the next day, they would kill Misty (In the dub they threatened to dye her hair purple). When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket began bombing the Squirtle Squad after they recieved Pikachu. Ash, Misty and Brock ran to hide in the Squirtle Squad's cave, however when Ash noticed that the leader was stuck on his shell he went back to save it, Squirtle then defeated Team Rocket with water gun. However, there was now a forest fire which started due to the bombs, which the Squirtle squad worked together to put out. After putting out the Fire, [[Officer Jenny]] appoints the Squirtle Squad as the official Fire Fighters of the town. The leader of the Squirtle Squad preferred to join Ash on his journey than fight fires with the Squirtle Squad.<br />
<br />
Eventually while Ash is travelling through Johto, Squirtle returns to the Squirtle Squad. It returned briefly to battle in the Silver Conference, but has not appeared since. However, it is speculated that it will return soon to meet [[May's Squirtle]] and battle in one of the Battle Facilities.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Radio Tower is found in Pokémon Versions: [[Pokémon Crystal]], [[Pokémon Silver]] and [[Pokémon Gold]].<br />
<br />
==Johto Radio Tower==<br />
===Location===<br />
The Johto Radio Tower is located in Goldenrod City, near the Magnet Train Station on the West side of town. It's a very tall building with many floors.<br />
===What to do===<br />
The Radio Tower is of little use until you reach Mahogany Town. After you beat Pryce, you cannot proceed until you have cleansed the Radio Tower of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
==Kanto Radio Tower==<br />
===Location===<br />
The Kanto Radio Tower can be found in Lavender Town, the crossroads of land and sea; living and dead. It is in what was the Pokémon Tower (in [[Pokemon Red]], [[Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokemon Green]]). Now it is converted. You can only visit one floor on this one, as a guard hears what happened to the one at Goldenrod city<br />
===What to do===<br />
Not much, however after solving the Power Plant mini-quest you can gain the Kanto Radio Card, which enables you to receive many more radio programmes, including PokéFlute which is used to solve the Snorlax mini-quest.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Trainer's Choice''' is a feature that replaced ''Who's That Pokémon'' in the dub of the Pokémon anime.<br />
<br />
The idea is simple. Rather than recognise a shadowed Pokémon, the viewer must choose the best out of a possible three Pokémon. Usually, the question is based on who has the type advantage, though evolutions are also occasionall asked for.<br />
<br />
''Trainer's Choice'' is not respected by the fandom, as 4Kids get it wrong about half the time, showing how much they know about the franchise. The most classic example is their claim that {{p|Seviper}} evolved from {{P|Arbok}}.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''history of Pokémon''' spans nearly a decade from when work began officially on first game to now. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching insects and tadpoles near his home in suburban Tokyo. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.<br />
<br />
With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. In 1975, the precursor to Pokémon was serialized in manga form as [[Capsule Monsters]]; however, the manga was unsuccessful and was discontinued. In 1991, Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Game Boy Link Cable]] gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire. After several failed attempts at pitching Capsule Monsters to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. Before the first Pokémon games were released in Japan in 1996, sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[wp:Game Boy Camera|Game Boy Camera]] in 1995. Around this time, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."<br />
<br />
== Generation I ==<br />
The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon Green]] came onto the [[Game Boy]] scene in Japan on February 27, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to catch, train and trade 151 creatures and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Green swiftly became [[Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.<br />
<br />
North America received Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue on September 30th, 1998, and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy. Plans soon started for a game based on the popular [[Pokémon anime|anime]] and [[Pokémon Yellow]] was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe.<br />
<br />
Pokémon Yellow allowed trainers to take on the role of [[Ash]] and travel through [[Kanto]] with Anime-style graphics for each Pokémon. The game followed the anime's course of events and Pokémon soared to new heights of popularity as the 20th century came to a close.<br />
<br />
== Generation II ==<br />
<br />
On November 21st 1999, Nintendo of Japan released [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] for the then-new Game Boy Color. This time, [[Pokémon trainer]]s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where 100 more Pokémon were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by creating:<br />
<br />
* Genders for most pokémon, which allowed for [[breeding]]<br />
* A clock, which allowed for day, night, and morning<br />
* Money storage with your mother<br />
* New paths of evolution<br />
* The happiness system<br />
<br />
Many other features made the games different than their predecessors. Trainers could also return to Kanto and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that existed in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.<br />
<br />
Like Pokémon Yellow, a third version was made in Japan called [[Pokémon Crystal]] and was released December 14th, 2000 in Japan and July 21st, 2001 in North America. Pokémon Crystal had several changes made. Many Pokémon changed locations and the pokémon known as {{p|Suicune}} was the title character and the focus of the plot. This was also the first portable Pokémon game that featured animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received an added bonus of receiving the Pokémon known as {{p|Celebi}} through a wireless link, and also being able to trade wirelessly using a cellphone and the Mobile Adapter. Trainers on both sides of the Pacific Ocean were, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's gender.<br />
<br />
== Generation III ==<br />
<br />
A major overhaul of the game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] came onto the scene. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where 135 new Pokémon were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features.<br />
<br />
* [[Natures]] for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[EPs]] and [[DVs]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Contests]]<br />
* More detailed [[weather conditions]]<br />
* New villains: [[Team Magma]] & [[Team Aqua]]<br />
* Not backwards compatible with earlier generations<br />
<br />
Not finished with the Hoenn story, Game Freak developed a third version to go with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, called [[Pokémon Emerald]]. This game was released in North America in early 2005, and in Japan on September 16th, 2004. Emerald version game features the same wireless connection as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as a return to Hoenn with many new features, including:<br />
<br />
* Rebattling gym leaders<br />
* [[Battle Frontier]]<br />
* Non-alignment with Team Magma & Team Aqua<br />
* Both Kyogre & Groudon catchable<br />
* Animations for all Pokémon, like Pokémon Crystal<br />
<br />
=== Generation III remake of RBY ===<br />
<br />
This generation also saw the return of Kanto in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], where trainers could once again travel through Kanto with enhanced graphics and gameplay. The games also featured a wireless connection and a new area, the [[Sevii Islands]]. Many of these were home to Johto Pokémon unavailable in other games of this generation. This game was released January 29th, 2004 in Japan and September 9th, 2004 in North America.<br />
<br />
== Generation IV ==<br />
<br />
With a fourth generation in the works for the [[Nintendo DS]], Pokémon is appearing to be stronger than ever. [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] are slated to come out in Japan sometime in 2006. No one is sure what new things the new generation will bring to the ever changing world of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
== Other games ==<br />
<br />
Along the way, Pokémon has had many spin off titles for the [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The list includes:<br />
<br />
'''Nintendo 64'''<br />
* [[Pokémon Stadium]] 1 & 2<br />
* [[Pokémon Snap]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]<br />
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]<br />
<br />
'''Nintendo GameCube'''<br />
<br />
* [[Pokémon Channel]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Colosseum]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]]<br />
* [[Pokémon XD]]<br />
<br />
'''Nintendo Game Boy'''<br />
* [[Pokémon Pinball]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]]<br />
* [[Pokémon TCG]]<br />
* [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]<br />
<br />
'''Nintendo DS'''<br />
* [[Pokémon Dash]]<br />

<hr />
<div>A gigantic ivory spear projecting far into the heavens, the '''Realgam Tower''' would be an impressive sight in most areas of the world, even more so for sleepy [[Orre]]. The tower itself is located in the south-central area of the desert region.<br />
<br />
After an incredibly long period of construction, the Realgam Tower was completed.<br />
<br />
Containing several floors and chambers, the Realgam Tower seems to be built both as a fortress and a high-class hotel. The entrance to the main tower itself is obscured by a series of half-burried tunnels and dead-ends in the surrounding desert.<br />
<br />
When four keys are inserted into the base of the tower, the tower's hotel area opens. Impeccably decorated, the Realgam Tower is filled with exquisite paintings and statues of various Pokémon. There are several areas for guests - an information desk and reception area, several Pokémon healing devices and PCs, a bar, a casino, and many other luxuries honeycomb the tower.<br />
<br />
At the very top of the tower is a giant, white Colosseum surrounded by a stadium suspended in mid-air.<br />
<br />
The tower was constructed in a plot by [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]]. They intended to turn Pokémon into vicious [[Shadow Pokémon]], and lure rich Pokémon enthusiasts to the tower with promises of vicious battles.<br />
<br />
In Pokemon XD, Realgam Tower is finally a gaming facility, housing a colosseum, [[Battle Sims]] and [[Battle Bingo]].<br />

{{Towns of Orre}}<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Pyrite Town''' appears to be hewn out of a crimson colored canyon. Not exactly the cleanest town you'll find, bits of old trash and mining debris are scattered everywhere. Most buildings and machinery found within the town are saturated with rust.<br />
<br />
An honorable town of thugs and scoundrels where Shadow Pokémon were once distributed before [[Wes]] and [[Rui]], the protagonists of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], put a stop to it. <br />
<br />
Located in South-West [[Orre]], Pyrite Town is known as "the town of earth, wind, and money" to the locals. People who stay there for a long time supposedly take on the towns characteristics.<br />
<br />
At the very south edge of the town is [[Fateen]]'s Fortune Telling. The old woman, Fateen is also known as "the mother of Pyrite Town". Most of the locals look to her for advice in nearly every aspect of their lives.<br />
<br />
Farther north in a non-descript building there is a police station and jail manned by the incompetent [[Sherles]] and [[Johnson]].<br />
<br />
[[Duking]]'s house is to the north-west, sort of acting as an unofficial "mayor's house". Underneath Duking's house is one of the Kid's Grid nodes. Duking is the closest thing Pyrite town has to a leader or mayor. Although that appears to be because of his size rather than an election.<br />
<br />
Farther north is the Pyrite Super Grand Hotel, where visitors to Pyrite have to pay to refresh their Pokémon. It's actually a fairly upscale establishment for Pyrite Town.<br />
<br />
Immediately east of that is Pyrite Town's PokéMart.<br />
<br />
Farther north, in the center of Pyrite Town, is Duel Square - where roughneck Pokémon Trainers gather for battles. Outsiders to Pyrite Town soon find that they literally can't say "no" to the challenges of the local Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
Before the chasm of Pyrite Town to the north is a power station, where an old windmill supplies power to most of the town. Particularly the Colosseum.<br />
<br />
West of the power station is an abandoned building that was once [[Miror B.'s Hideout]]. It's now the home of [[ONBS]], a TV station evolved from Kids Grid.<br />
<br />
The gap in the northern central area of Pyrite Town supposedly leads all the way down into [[the Under]]. The Under and Pyrite Town were once twin cities of a mining community. However, since the mine dried up, traffic between the Under and Pyrite Town has slowed to a trickle.<br />
<br />
In the northernmost part of town is Pyrite Colosseum. Although it appears to be dilapadated, it is still functional. [[Miror B.]] once dispensed [[Shadow Pokémon]] to Trainers who won challenges in the Colosseum.<br />
<br />
Once a mining town, most of the residents have resorted to a life of crime since the town's livelihood began to wane. Truthfully though, rumors about the levels of crime in Pyrite appear to be exaggerate slightly.<br />
