==Blurb==

Professor Kukui has a gift to help Ash get started in the Alola region. It’s an unusual Pokédex that’s inhabited by the Pokémon Rotom—a Rotom Dex!

Team Rocket is just getting started in Alola, too, and their first meeting with a new Pokémon turns frightening when a mysterious Mimikyu draws Meowth into a nightmare. But when they encounter Ash and his classmates, Mimikyu decides to battle on Team Rocket’s side—until an enormous Bewear grabs Jessie and James and carries them off.

Ash is a little disappointed that he couldn’t catch Mimikyu, but he soon sets off in search of more new Pokémon!

==Plot==
{{TRT}} lands at an airport in the [[Alola]] [[region]], being on assignment by Giovanni to capture the resident Pokémon. At {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house, he hands the [[Pokédex]] to {{Ash}}. They head into Kukui's laboratory, where Ash is greeted by a {{Rotom}} that is venturing around. After a while, Rotom charges into the Pokédex, activating it. Ash greets Rotom and is surprised when it responds in [[human]] language. Professor Kukui requests Rotom to help Ash on his {{pkmn|journey}}. Rotom understands and begins to boot up, telling Ash that it is equipped with an assortment of languages to communicate with people.

Professor Kukui introduces himself and explains that Ash and {{p|Pikachu}} are staying at his place. Ash also introduces his Pikachu to Rotom. Rotom takes pictures of Pikachu and {{AP|Rockruff}} and explains that it has a self-learning capability, which Ash does not fully understand. The Pokédex introduces its full name to Ash, which Ash becomes confused with the name. Rotom asks Ash to simply call it Rotom Dex, and Ash tells it to call him by "Ash". Ash asks Rotom Pokédex to provide information on Pikachu, which it does and pulls on Pikachu's tail to test it. This results in Pikachu using {{m|Thunderbolt}} which shocks everyone. In a forest, {{an|Bewear}} is walking about and hears the bushes rustle as a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} emerges. Bewear looks at Mimikyu before moving on.

{{AP|Litten}} passes by the [[Pokémon School]] and watches {{DL|Samson Oak|Komala}} sleeping on a tree before moving on. In the classroom, Ash introduces Rotom Pokédex to {{ashcl}} and they introduce themselves. {{an|Lillie}} is amazed to see a Pokédex with a Rotom inside, whilst {{an|Sophocles}} wants to dismantle Rotom to examine its programming, which Rotom quickly refuses. When [[Samson Oak]] arrives with Professor Kukui, Ash introduces Rotom to the principal of the school. Rotom becomes confused by Samson's greetings. {{an|Mallow}} explains that he is saying hello, and that he likes to use Pokémon puns when talking. Rotom Pokédex soon understands and begins making a few puns of its own. Professor Kukui starts the lesson by saying that it will be about field work, and suggests to Ash that now that he has his Pokédex, he should catch a [[wild Pokémon]], which leaves everyone excited. Professor Kukui says it should be a new challenge for Ash and he will {{m|Destiny Bond}} them to help him out. Rotom starts to describe Destiny Bond's effect and reassures that they could count on it for information on Pokémon. The group heads out into the forest.

In the forest, Team Rocket are exploring and plan to catch the first Pokémon they see, but as they left {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and {{TP|James|Inkay}} back at the headquarters, it will be up to Meowth and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to battle Pokémon. Looking around the forest, [[Jessie]] finds it creepy and that a ghost may appear out of nowhere. Upon finishing her sentence, the grass starts to rustle and a Pokémon jumps out of it. Team Rocket starts to scream until a Mimikyu lands on the ground. They mistake it for Pikachu and becomes scared when its costume falls down slightly, but Meowth spots that it isn't actually a Pikachu. Hearing Mimikyu's laughter, it creeps Meowth and Wobbuffet out. [[James]] asks what Mimikyu is saying, but he refuses to translate it as he thinks it is too scary. Jessie says it actually looks kind of cute and decides to catch it, throwing Meowth at it. As Meowth gets closer, he uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} but it has no effect on the Mimikyu. Meowth becomes afraid of what Mimikyu is saying and orders it to take off its Pikachu get-up. Meowth looks under its rag and promptly faints. Meowth finds himself walking in a long tunnel and wonders where he is before spotting a light in the distance. He runs towards it and sees a {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} which he begins to chase after them, having fallen in love with them, unaware that they are illusions caused by a {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}. Meanwhile, Jessie and James are trying to wake Meowth up. In Meowth's trance, the Pokémon all disappear and he starts to fall below. Jessie and James throw buckets of water on Meowth, waking him up. He thanks them for bringing him back and explains what happened. They all look at Mimikyu in anxiety and run away after hearing rustling noises from a nearby bush. Ash and his classmates are walking into the forest, becoming increasingly excited about encountering a Pokémon in the forest.

Team Rocket notices them and their Pokémon and decides to use the opportunity to capture all their Pokémon, along with the Pokémon they will be capturing in the region. The group of students spots Mimikyu, but when Mimikyu sees Pikachu, it makes it unhappy. Lillie recognizes it as being a Mimikyu from a book that she read, but Rotom interrupts her to provide information. Meowth overhears the information about a scholar who looked under a Mimikyu's rag passing away and realizes how lucky he was, as James notices the Pokédex moving by itself. Ash decides to try and catch Mimikyu and has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} which hits, but {{an|Kiawe}} is surprised that it does no damage. Mimikyu strikes back with {{m|Play Rough}} before attacking with {{m|Shadow Claw}}. Seeing how strong Mimikyu is, Ash orders an {{m|Electro Ball}}. Mimikyu reflects the attack back to Pikachu with its tail, although Pikachu manages to dodge it. Jessie is impressed by Mimikyu's strength and decides to catch it, much to Meowth's horror. As Ash prepares to order Pikachu to attack, Team Rocket reveal themselves and recite their {{motto}}, which Rotom Pokédex takes their organization's name literally. Rotom becomes surprised to see a talking Meowth and starts taking pictures of him. None of Ash's classmates have heard of Team Rocket, but Ash explains that they are bad guys who steal Pokémon. Team Rocket exclaims that they did not know why Ash is in Alola, but they intend to take all of their Pokémon along with Mimikyu. With few Pokémon to use, Meowth goes to battle Pikachu with Fury Swipes as Pikachu attacks with Electro Ball. As the Electro Ball is about to hit, it is deflected by Mimikyu's {{m|Shadow Ball}}, saving Meowth from being hit. Jessie realizes that Mimikyu is helping them out, but this isn't the case as Meowth explains that Mimikyu has a deep hatred towards Pikachu. Jessie allows Mimikyu to attack and it begins to launch another Shadow Ball. Jessie and James are ecstatic about what is going on, however, the Bewear appears behind Jessie and James and carries them away. Rotom Pokédex informs Ash of what Bewear is, and Ash remembers encountering it [[SM001|before]]. Meowth tells Mimikyu to stop Bewear and help save Jessie and James, which Mimikyu reluctantly does, and they chase after them. Ash is disappointed at not catching Mimikyu, but Lillie says there are lots of Pokémon around. Ash and his classmates set off to find more Pokémon in the forest.

* {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR Code|Pokémon QR Code}}: {{p|Mimikyu}}
* A segment called [[Poké Problem]] replaces [[Poké TV]] in this episode.
* [[Poké Problem]]: ''Which appliance will {{p|Rotom}} enter in this episode?''
** Host: [[Samson Oak]]
** Choices: A {{wp|washing machine}}, a [[Pokédex]], a {{wp|Fan (machine)|fan}}, a {{wp|refrigerator}}
** Answer: A Pokédex
* This is the first episode to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].
* Viewers could answer the Poké Problem [[Data broadcasting#Poké Problem|with their remotes]] during the first airing of SM003 and [[SM004]] on [[TV Tokyo]] to take part in a lottery of five {{DL|Pokémon Z-Ring|Z-Ring and Z-Crystal Special Set}}s.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special, the Japanese comedian Abareru-kun appeared in typical Hawaiian clothes, announcing the {{DL|Data broadcasting|Poké Problem|Poké Problem data broadcast}}, {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR Code|a data broadcast that works with Pokémon Sun and Moon}}, the keyboard quiz, and information about Ash getting his first Alola Pokémon and Mimikyu's appearance.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special viewers could take part in a [[Media:Keyword quiz SM003 SM004.png|four-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a New Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Edition and copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The first character was も.
* {{TRT}}'s new {{motto}}, which makes its debut in this episode, uses a remixed instrumental of [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] as its background music.
* {{an|Sophocles}}, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Kiawe}} narrate the preview for the [[SM004|next episode]].
* For the first time in the dub, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} read the segment for [[Who's That Pokémon?]].
* Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by commenting that they're in a family show when asked to translate what {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} said.
* This marks the longest time taken for Team Rocket to debut in a [[series]], at three episodes. This surpasses their debut in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', which was the second episode of the [[original series]]. This would later be shared with ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the third episode of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Even though Mimikyu is seen using its {{a|Disguise}} [[Ability]] for the first time in this episode, its name is not confirmed until ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', 73 episodes later.
* As of this episode, [[Erica Schroeder]] takes over the role of {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} from [[Kayzie Rogers]].
** As of this episode, every character who was part of the main cast during the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub is no longer voiced by their original actor, excluding Pikachu, who keeps his voice undubbed. It would remain this way until ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', where [[Ted Lewis]] reprises his role as {{Tracey}}.
* Meowth gains a redesign, with the outlines of his eyes now being separated instead of fully drawn similar in the games through [[Gen VI]] till [[Gen VIII]].
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Lopunny}} in the main series since ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', 294 episodes ago.

===Errors===
* When {{an|Sophocles}} runs out the door of the school with the gang, his {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} goes through the wall.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text used in Team Rocket's motto is edited out in the US and International dub. The Korean and Thai dubs use their own text.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, when {{an|Professor Kukui}} talks about field work, {{an|Mallow}}'s line is mistranslated as, "{{tt|Eu amo fogos de artifício|I love fireworks}}", making the line unrelated to the context.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when Meowth is asked to translate what Mimikyu is saying, he says he does not dare to say it out loud. In the English dub, Meowth [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by stating that it is a family show.

==Blurb==

Professor Kukui has a gift to help Ash get started in the Alola region. It’s an unusual Pokédex that’s inhabited by the Pokémon Rotom—a Rotom Dex!

Team Rocket is just getting started in Alola, too, and their first meeting with a new Pokémon turns frightening when a mysterious Mimikyu draws Meowth into a nightmare. But when they encounter Ash and his classmates, Mimikyu decides to battle on Team Rocket’s side—until an enormous Bewear grabs Jessie and James and carries them off.

Ash is a little disappointed that he couldn’t catch Mimikyu, but he soon sets off in search of more new Pokémon!

Jessie realizes that Mimikyu is helping them out, but this isn't the case as Meowth explains that Mimikyu has a deep hatred towards Pikachu. Jessie allows Mimikyu to attack and it begins to launch another Shadow Ball. Jessie and James are ecstatic about what is going on, however, the Bewear appears behind Jessie and James and carries them away. Rotom Pokédex informs Ash of what Bewear is, and Ash remembers encountering it [[SM001|before]]. Meowth tells Mimikyu to stop Bewear and help save Jessie and James, which Mimikyu reluctantly does, and they chase after them. Ash is disappointed at not catching Mimikyu, but Lillie says there are lots of Pokémon around. Ash and his classmates set off to find more Pokémon in the forest.

==Trivia==
* {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR Code|Pokémon QR Code}}: {{p|Mimikyu}}
* A segment called [[Poké Problem]] replaces [[Poké TV]] in this episode.
* [[Poké Problem]]: ''Which appliance will {{p|Rotom}} enter in this episode?''
** Host: [[Samson Oak]]
** Choices: A {{wp|washing machine}}, a [[Pokédex]], a {{wp|Fan (machine)|fan}}, a {{wp|refrigerator}}
** Answer: A Pokédex
* This is the first episode to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].
* Viewers could answer the Poké Problem [[Data broadcasting#Poké Problem|with their remotes]] during the first airing of SM003 and [[SM004]] on [[TV Tokyo]] to take part in a lottery of five {{DL|Pokémon Z-Ring|Z-Ring and Z-Crystal Special Set}}s.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special, the Japanese comedian Abareru-kun appeared in typical Hawaiian clothes, announcing the {{DL|Data broadcasting|Poké Problem|Poké Problem data broadcast}}, {{DL|Data broadcasting|QR Code|a data broadcast that works with Pokémon Sun and Moon}}, the keyboard quiz, and information about Ash getting his first Alola Pokémon and Mimikyu's appearance.
* During the first airing on TV Tokyo as one-hour special viewers could take part in a [[Media:Keyword quiz SM003 SM004.png|four-characters keyword quiz]], in which ten viewers could win a New Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Edition and copies of Pokémon Sun and Moon. The first character was も.
* {{TRT}}'s new {{motto}}, which makes its debut in this episode, uses a remixed instrumental of [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] as its background music.
* {{an|Sophocles}}, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Kiawe}} narrate the preview for the [[SM004|next episode]].
* For the first time in the dub, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} read the segment for [[Who's That Pokémon?]].
* Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by commenting that they're in a family show when asked to translate what {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} said.
* This marks the longest time taken for Team Rocket to debut in a [[series]], at three episodes. This surpasses their debut in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', which was the second episode of the [[original series]]. This would later be shared with ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the third episode of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Even though Mimikyu is seen using its {{a|Disguise}} [[Ability]] for the first time in this episode, its name is not confirmed until ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', 73 episodes later.
* As of this episode, [[Erica Schroeder]] takes over the role of {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} from [[Kayzie Rogers]].
** As of this episode, every character who was part of the main cast during the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub is no longer voiced by their original actor, excluding Pikachu, who keeps his voice undubbed. It would remain this way until ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', where [[Ted Lewis]] reprises his role as {{Tracey}}.
* Meowth gains a redesign, with the outlines of his eyes now being separated instead of fully drawn similar in the games through [[Gen VI]] through [[Gen VIII]].
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Lopunny}} in the main series since ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', 294 episodes ago.

===Errors===
* When {{an|Sophocles}} runs out the door of the school with the gang, his {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} goes through the wall.

===Dub edits===
* The Japanese text used in Team Rocket's motto is edited out in the US and International dub. The Korean and Thai dubs use their own text.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, when {{an|Professor Kukui}} talks about field work, {{an|Mallow}}'s line is mistranslated as, "{{tt|Eu amo fogos de artifício|I love fireworks}}", making the line unrelated to the context.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when Meowth is asked to translate what Mimikyu is saying, he says he does not dare to say it out loud. In the English dub, Meowth [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by stating that it is a family show.

'''Weezing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マタドガス''' ''Matadogas'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Koffing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Weezing has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Koffing starting at level 35. All Koffing in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Weezing is a purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} consisting of two spherical heads connected by a thin tube with another sphere in the center. The heads have different sizes and features. The left head is larger and has prominent eyebrows, pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw, and two flat teeth in its upper jaw. The smaller, right head simply has two pointed teeth, one at each corner of its mouth. The larger head has a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking below its face, while the smaller head has a ring marking instead. It is covered with many geyser-like protrusions, which usually expel mustard-colored gases. Weezing is said to form when poisonous gases pool and two {{p|Koffing}} fuse over many years. Very rarely, two Koffing can become a Weezing in a short time span because of a sudden mutation. Triplet Weezing have been discovered, although they are extremely rare.

Each of Weezing's heads contains a different toxin. It mixes its gases by inflating one head and deflating the other. When its gases mix, Weezing becomes more toxic and putrid. Weezing can hover in midair, presumably due to gases lighter than air, as is the case for Koffing. Despite their stench and poison, Weezing's gases can be used to make top-grade perfume by diluting them to the highest level.

Weezing lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. It seeks a dirty, unkempt house and nests there. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash. Weezing feeds on the dust, microorganisms, and especially gases emitted by garbage and toxic waste. Weezing's body expands and smells worse upon inhaling poisonous gases. The Kantonian Weezing used to be common in [[Galar]] and created more potent toxins than their Galarian relatives.

Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Weezing has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.

In the [[Galar]] [[region]], its appearance has changed due to absorbing polluted air from factories. It has a gray body with the skull, crossbones, and ring patterns changed to the color yellow. Both heads have a hat-like tube located on top of them that constantly releases purified air. Five puffs of green poison gas clouds can be seen floating around it. The gas clouds also partly cover its faces: the larger head has a mustache-like cloud on its upper lip, while the smaller head has clouds on its face in the shape of eyebrows and a beard.

Galarian Weezing consumes particles from polluted air, and expels clean air instead of droppings. The toxins within Galarian Weezing's body are accumulated into poison gas clouds that leaks and drifts around it. The gas is its best weapon in battle, being potent enough to stun and immobilize an opponent with just a whiff.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/weezing/ Galarian Weezing | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Weezing preys on {{p|Trubbish}} for the fumes it produces.

Galarian Weezing is also the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Strange Steam}}.

===Evolution===
Weezing evolves from {{p|Koffing}}.

In [[Galar]], Weezing has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Koffing.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===

Weezing is also a float in the Poké Float stage. It appears as {{p|Chikorita}} leaves. Once {{p|Slowpoke}} appears, it will slowly deflate and move to the top of the screen.

====Trophy information====
''The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Weezing appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Weezing was originally known as "La", representing {{wp|Los Angeles}}' polluted air.
* Weezing is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* In certain instances in the {{pkmn|games}}, such as summary pages and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, a Pokémon's sprite is horizontally flipped, unless its body is asymmetrical. However, Weezing's sprite is flipped in all instances despite its asymmetrical body.
* The {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} [[Pokédex]] entries for Weezing claim triplet forms have been discovered, but this variant has not been shown in any [[Pokémon]] media.
* Weezing shares similar traits to {{p|Muk}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single pre-evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Weezing being air pollution.
* Galarian Weezing is tied with {{p|Xerneas}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* Although Weezing and Galarian Weezing do not appear in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the smoke tower on the rooftop of the [[Galaxy Hall]] resembles a Galarian Weezing.
* Kantonian Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.
* Galarian Weezing can learn more moves that cause it to faint than any other Pokémon ({{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, and {{m|Misty Explosion}}).
* Galarian Weezing was the first [[Galarian form]] to be officially revealed.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Weezing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living meteorite. It is also based on smog and other forms of air pollution. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life forms. Much like Koffing, the symbol under Weezing's larger face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison. The three orbs connected by stems that constitute its body resemble a {{wp|molecule}}. Weezing's fused heads may also be based on {{wp|conjoined twins}} and the effects of pollution-induced birth defects.

Galarian Weezing takes inspiration from {{wp|steam engine}}s.<ref>(November 15, 2019). "[https://www.4gamer.net/games/451/G045125/20191112090/ 「ポケットモンスターソード・シールド」インタビュー。「最強」をテーマに，子供たちが楽しめるものを目指して]." ''4Gamer.net''.</ref> Its appearance in particular seems to be based on a stereotypical {{wp|Victorian era}} British gentleman wearing a {{wp|Top hat|chimney hat}}, combined with actual {{wp|chimney}}s. Both its smog-based "facial hair" and its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}} Pokédex entry, which describes Weezing taking the form as a result of heavy air pollution, likely draw reference from {{wp|Pea soup fog|the heavy smog}} that afflicted London during the Victorian era. Its ability to clean the air of pollutants may be based on air scrubbers, referring to the fact that they expel clean air as referenced in its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}} Pokédex entry. Its design may also draw inspiration from nuclear cooling towers, referring to the clouds that they make being steam and not smoke as evidenced by its signature move {{m|Strange Steam}}. Additionally, its {{t|Fairy}} type and appearance may be a reference to {{wp|leprechaun}}s. Galarian Weezing's {{Shiny}} form may be based on {{wp|sepia tone}} photography.

Galarian Weezing's resemblance to Victorian era British noblemen, along with its [[Ability]] {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, may be a play on {{wp|noble gas}}es, which are gaseous elements known for being highly unreactive and are typically used to prevent unwanted reactions from occuring.

====Name origin====
Weezing may be a corruption of ''wheezing'' (producing a whistling sound while breathing with difficulty).

Matadogas may come from 又 ''mata'' (again) and 毒ガス ''doku-gasu'' (poison gas). It may also be derived from マスタードガス ''masutādogasu'' ({{wp|mustard gas}}).

| <ab>Having in mind our very first "hi"
It's been in my thoughts, ah
For this day to come light up
The sparkling light inhabiting your eyes
So bright, I watched it arise

"The way's full of unknowns
Walkin' across this land"
And searching far and wide, new encounters expand
Go find it, continue
Get a personal jewel and you
Gotta save what journeys bring you
Then you, then you

Hurry up!
"Red, and blue, and green
The lively colors in the scene"
Treasure hunting, on occasion, we would veer the street
I want a battle to happen between you and me
3.2.1!

Come on out, "I choose ya"
Show has now begun, so get up
Let me, so, let me feel
The beat, the beating heart
Pounding inside, increasing with time
Refined it to develop
"Electric hit
I get it, get it strong"
And now, take aim to start the fight and
Keep it, keep it up!
So pick out, pick out, pick out
Meaningful moments all around as we head up
Let's go, no limit-limit, yo

Billi-billions
Free the, free the core
Jilli-jillions
Give me, give me, more
Here we, here we go
Living, living, oh
Getting, getting all
Fun, electrical

Gold and crystal
Or silver's not what I want now
Newbie? Leader?
Whatever, I don't really mind now
"The sapphire sky
The emerald of the sea, transcend"
To chase the ruby spot, the journey's end

I'll pass all these challenges, I'm on the way
To find the fun, waiting in a town away
So black or white, defining it
"With a battle, we know
How to, so from"
ABC and to XYZ

Finally got to meet you
At long last, I got to meet you
Let me, so let me feel
The beat, the beat is on a roll
Are we both rising hotter?
When morning sun is a glow
And nights of when the moon is afloat
Everything I have gathered in tow
Let's go toe-to-toe
Intense showdown
Nothing will be holding us now

I saw the vision
Dream of this very stage
Come on out, "I choose ya"
The long-awaited moment's here, the show's on
Let's go beyond the heartbeat, in the flow
Inside us echo
Refined it to develop
"Electric hit
I get it, get it strong"
And now, take aim to start the fight and
Keep it, keep it up!
So pick out, pick out, pick out
Meaningful moments all around as we head up
It's always no limit-limit, yo

Oh, you with that arrogant face you show
And you who's shy with an inner glow
"To moments staring down below
Say "bye-bye"
To catch, find it, let's go

Billi-billions
Free the, free the core
Jilli-jillions
Give me, give me, more
Here we, here we go
Living, living, oh
Getting, getting all
Fun, electrical</ab>

Wild Area

2023-11-04T18:24:22Z

GDNH16: /* Main series */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Wild Area.png|thumb|A Trainer walking in the Wild Area.]]
The '''Wild Area''' (Japanese: '''ワイルドエリア''' ''Wild Area'') is an extensive area in the [[Galar]] region. It adjoins the cities of [[Motostoke]] and [[Hammerlocke]].

The Pokémon found in the Wild Area vary depending on the [[weather]], which can vary wildly between the different subareas. Pokémon with higher levels also [[wanderer|wander]] outside of the normal [[tall grass]] in many places. The areas north of the Motostoke River are home to Pokémon with higher levels overall. Once the player has started the [[Darkest Day]] or captured {{p|Eternatus}}, Pokémon found throughout the Wild Area will generally have higher levels.

==Camera==
Unlike most other areas of the game (which use a fixed perspective), in the Wild Area the player can control the camera using the right control stick. The player can also press the L button to automatically rotate the camera to match the direction the player is facing, and press the right stick in order to zoom out/in. These mechanics, as well as the weather and wild Pokémon mechanics, carry over to the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]].

If the player moves left or right, the camera will also automatically rotate towards the player's facing direction, allowing the player to indirectly affect the camera even if one-handed controls ("Casual Controls") are enabled in the [[Options]]. This means that, for example, holding directly right will cause the player to move in a clockwise circle (with a diameter about 12 steps across) instead of a straight line. (For comparison, the bridge across Lake Axewell is about 20 steps long.)

When entering the Wild Area from [[Motostoke]] or [[Hammerlocke]] (or using a [[Flying Taxi]] to these Wild Area spots), the camera will automatically face forwards (south). When entering the Wild Area from the [[Wild Area Station]] (or using a Flying Taxi there), the camera will automatically face north towards the rest of the Wild Area, even though the station's exit faces west.

==Notes==
The first time the player goes near certain locations, the game will automatically perform the item pick-up animation followed by the prompt ''"You found a note! Did someone drop it here?"''. These notes inform the player about certain Wild Area mechanics.
* Near the [[wanderer]] closest to the entrance (the {{p|Onix}} in [[Rolling Fields]]), the game will inform the player about high-level wild Pokémon.
* Near the closest [[Berry tree]], the game will inform the player about [[Pokémon Camp]] and healing the player's team by making [[curry]] with [[Berry|Berries]].
* About halfway across the Rolling Fields, the game will inform the player about the right stick and L button controls (even if the player has one-handed controls on in the [[Options]]).
* At the [[Motostoke]] entrance/exit, the game will inform the player about [[Watt]]s and ways to obtain and spend them. (This message will immediately appear if the player warps here using the [[Meetup Spot]] NPC.)

(If the player never sees one of these notes, it will remain even after the player beats the game, and can be seen as usual by going near the location for the first time.)

==Locations==
[[File:Galar Wild Area SwSh.png|thumb|300px|An overview of the entire Wild Area]]
The Wild Area is composed of 18 subareas, which are grouped into two groups: The roughly rectangular South Wild Area has 10 subareas; and the long, roughly Y-shaped North Wild Area has 8 subareas. These groups are divided by the river that runs from west to east through the southern part of [[Motostoke]], though a bridge allows passage between the south and north. The [[Town Map]] shows the rough layout of the Wild Area and relation of the subareas to one another, though the borders shown between them may diverge from in-game borders.

Players first enter the Wild Area at its southernmost point, arriving at the Wild Area Station via train from [[Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station]]. Afterwards, players can return to the Wild Area via the Wild Area Station, a number of [[Flying Taxi]] destinations, or by just walking south from Motostoke or [[Hammerlocke]].

The player cannot travel directly from the Wild Area to Hammerlocke near the beginning of the game, as an NPC will block the player from entering until they have the [[Fire Badge]]. The NPC will then offer to escort/warp the player south of the bridge between the South and North Wild Areas.

===South Wild Area===
The South Wild Area consists of 10 subareas with a mix of environments. The 2 largest lakes in the Wild Area, Lake Axewell and Lake Miloch, are in this southern half. Prior to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the Pokémon in the South Wild Area are encountered at a lower level than those in the North Wild Area.

These 10 subareas are in the South Wild area, listed in roughly clockwise order from the south.

===North Wild Area===
The North Wild Area consists of 8 subareas with a mix of environments. Bridges run from west to east across the North Wild Area and allow the railroad, [[Motostoke Outskirts]], and {{rt|5|Galar}} to cross it. While this part of the Wild Area has only one lake, the Lake of Outrage, many of its subareas have significant ponds. Prior to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the Pokémon in the South Wild Area are encountered at a higher level than those in the North Wild Area.

These 8 subareas are in the North Wild area, listed in order first from south to north, then from west to east.

|}

==Weather==
The [[weather]] in the Wild Area determines which [[wild Pokémon]] can appear and, in some cases, which weather conditions and [[terrain]] appear in battle. The weather varies between subareas, and while neighboring subeareas can share the same weather, the weather in each is independently determined. However, since [[symbol encounter]]s and [[wanderer]]s spawn based on the weather currently experienced by {{player}}s, it is possible for the weather of one subarea to affect these spawns in another subarea if players are near the border between them. The weather across the entire Wild Area changes each day at midnight, based on the console's clock.

Common weather conditions include Clear, Cloudy, and Rain. If any subareas on a given day have one of the rarer weather conditions (such as Thunderstorm, Blizzard, Sandstorm, or Fog), the X menu will announce that these conditions are present. On certain special dates, the whole Wild Area will have the same weather. These dates are typically the first of a month.

===Prerequisites===
Some weather conditions will only begin to appear in the Wild Area after {{player}}s have reached certain milestones in the game. Before players have unlocked these weather conditions, subareas that would have had them instead have a specific replacement weather condition. These replacement conditions are changed to the original condition immediately after players reach the appropriate milestone, even if the weather would not yet have reset otherwise.
* Sandstorm: Unlocks after visiting [[Hammerlocke]] and is replaced by Harsh sunlight
* Blizzard: Unlocks after visiting Hammerlocke and is replaced by Snow
* Fog: Unlocks after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} and is replaced by Clear

The restrictions for Fog are not present in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]].

==Features==
The Wild Area has a number of features that appear in many different areas:
* The Wild Area is populated with 99 [[Pokémon Den]]s, where the player can participate in [[Max Raid Battle]]s.
* There are a large number of hidden items throughout the Wild Area. These items respawn daily, and each specific spot may yield different items on different days.
* [[Watt Trader]]s allow the player to trade [[Watt]]s for items, participate in the [[Rotom Rally]], change the color of their outfit, and upgrade their [[Rotom Bike]].

==Items==
===Hidden items===
There are a large number of hidden items throughout the Wild Area. These hidden items regenerate each day, even if the player has not obtained them.

Each spot has one or more possible items that it can yield, with the possible items depending on the spot. Every item that regenerates daily can also rarely regenerate as a [[Wishing Piece]] (at approximately a 1% chance) instead of the items in its standard pool.

===100-Watt gifts===
{{tc|Hiker}}s and {{tc|Fisher}}s may appear in different parts of the Wild Area to offer the player an unspecified item for 100 [[Watt]]s. The player does not know what the item is until they agree to purchase it.

==Trainers==
{{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} Chloe can appear in many different Wild Area zones. If the player loses, their Pokémon will be fully healed. She can be challenged more than once per day, but every time she is defeated, she will relocate.

She can appear in the following Wild Area zones:
* [[Rolling Fields]]
* [[East Lake Axewell]]
* [[Bridge Field]]
* [[Stony Wilderness]]
* [[Giant's Seat]]
* [[Axew's Eye]]
* [[Dusty Bowl]]

==In the anime==
[[File:Wild Area anime.png|thumb|250px|The Wild Area in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
The Wild Area first appeared in ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'', where {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] explored it after their arrival in [[Galar]]. They witnessed a {{p|Snorlax}} [[Gigantamax]]ing, but it blocked a railway line in the process, threatening to cause an accident. However, Ash and Goh were able to make Snorlax move off the tracks, saving the train. Afterwards, in the same area, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} the {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} that had followed him from [[Wyndon]].

In ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', Ash and Goh revisited the Wild Area, this time accompanied by [[Chloe]], to dig up [[Fossil]]s that could be found there. They met two bumbling Fossil diggers named [[Cara Liss]] and [[Bray Zenn]], whom they helped dig up Fossils they intended to restore into an {{p|Arctovish}} and a {{p|Dracozolt}}. However, their Fossil pieces got mixed up as they started the restoration process, resulting in them being restored as {{AP|Dracovish}} and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}} instead. After some interactions with the Fossil Pokémon, Cara Liss and Bray Zenn were satisfied with the data they had gotten and let Ash and Goh take care of them. As such, Ash then proceeded to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Dracovish, while Goh caught Arctozolt.

In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Goh visited [[Motostoke Riverbank]] and caught himself a {{p|Gossifleur}} before encountering [[Sonia]], whom he joined to find more Pokémon to catch, although reluctantly due to her horrendous driving skills. Ash, meanwhile, joined {{an|Leon}} on a {{pkmn|training}} session in the Wild Area, which also included relaxation and having fun with the local Pokémon. After helping out an injured {{p|Rookidee}}, they returned to Wyndon to reunite with Goh and Sonia.

In ''[[JN101|A One-Stick Wonder!]]'', Ash and Goh explored the Wild Area together. When {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}'s enthusiasm ended up scaring away any wild Pokémon that Goh wanted to catch, they decided to use [[curry]] as a lure, buying some [[ingredient]]s from an [[Ingredients Seller]] after they ended up eating the first batch of curry themselves. The curry lured out a wild {{p|Thwackey}}, which Goh's Grookey started seeing as a mentor figure. It turned out that this Thwackey couldn't drum as well as the rest of its group due to having only one stick instead of two. Ash and Goh helped it to learn to speed up its drumming, allowing it to stay on rhythm with the others of its kind. Seeing how well Thwackey was now doing with its group, Goh decided to not catch it and even offered Grookey a chance to stay with it, but Grookey preferred to stay with him.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', [[Hop]] was seen training with [[Bea]] in the Wild Area, with Leon observing their training match.

The Wild Area reappeared in [[HZ027]].

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
[[File:Wild Area TW.png|thumb|250px|The Wild Area in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
The Wild Area first appeared during a montage at the end of ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where [[Bea]] was shown confronting a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Rhydon}}. Bea's visit to the Wild Area was shown in full in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where she took a [[Flying Taxi]] there to train with her {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Machamp}} following her loss against [[Leon]] in a {{pkmn|battle}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Wild Area Adventures.png|thumb|250px|The Wild Area in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
The Wild Area first appeared in ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', where [[Henry Sword|Henry]], [[Casey Shield|Casey]], [[Professor Magnolia]], and [[Marvin]] went there to investigate the [[Pokémon Den]]s in the [[Rolling Fields]], encountering [[Team Yell]] in the process.

In ''[[PASS12|Thump!! The Gazing Sage]]'', the group traveled through the Wild Area again in order to reach [[Hammerlocke]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The theme used for the northern parts of the Wild Area, including [[Bridge Field]] onward, is shortened for Routes [[Galar Route 6|6]], [[Galar Route 7|7]], [[Galar Route 8|8]], and [[Galar Route 9|9]].
* The Wild Area is based on the {{wp|Lake District}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVH3FJaGroI&t=2s</ref>
* The Wild Area's shape resembles an {{p|Axew}}'s head facing left, with one area in the middle of the southern portion even being called [[Axew's Eye]].

'''Rillaboom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴリランダー''' ''Gorirander'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Thwackey}} starting at [[level]] 35. It is the final form of {{p|Grookey}}.

Rillaboom can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Rillaboom''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Rillaboom was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Biology==
Rillaboom is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|gorilla}}. Its body consists mostly of shades of brown: light, tan brown on its forehead, chest, abs, and extremities; dark brown on its nose and triangular ears, as well as under its eyes; and medium, mud-like brown across the rest of its body, including its thick arms and legs. Its mouth, the tip of its nose, and its irises are orange, and its sclerae are white. Each of its upper arms have tan marks resembling bow-ties or butterflies, and it has two, diamond-shaped, tan marks running down its spine. The first, and larger, of the two marks begins around its shoulder blades, and the second, and smaller, mark begins below its rib cage. Rillaboom has a thick bush of green, leaf-like hair on its head, which cascades down its back; on its forehead, a single, vine-like hair, which closely resembles a music note, falls between its eyes and curls at the end, which sits to its nose's left side. On its hips on either side, it has green, belt-like adornments resembling four leaves in a row. Similar adornments with two leaf-like parts sit on its each of its shoulders near the clavicles; these adornments appear to be part of its hair when not attacking. On each of its wrists, Rillaboom has cuffs that resemble leafy crowns, with the peaks of the crown facing its hands.

Rillaboom always carries its signature drum with it on its back, and pulls it out when engaged in battle. This bass drum is crafted from a tree stump, with several thick branch stumps protruding from it, which form both the legs of the bass drum as well as mid and high toms. Rillaboom also carries two drumsticks in its cuffs and takes them out to beat its drum.

By drumming, Rillaboom can tap into the power of its special tree stump. The roots of the stump follow the direction of its drumming in battle. In a troop of Rillaboom, the one with the best drumming technique is the leader. Rillaboom has a kind disposition and values harmony within its group. It is very sensitive towards discord that could threaten the group's harmony, so it keeps a strict watch for such actions. Due to its strong sense of unity, it will ferociously defend its allies from trouble.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/rillaboom/ Rillaboom | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Rillaboom is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Drum Beating}}. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Branch Poke}} is also one of its signature moves.

===Forms===
[[File:812Rillaboom-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|250px|Gigantamax Rillaboom using {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}]]
Rillaboom has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

As Gigantamax Rillaboom, its upper body fuses with its enlarged tree-stump drum. The stump changes to resemble a full drum kit. The leaves expand to become four arms, each holding a drum stick while its single vine-like hair stands up and curls at the tip. As with all Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds circle above it. The power building up inside Gigantamax Rillaboom compels it to perform transcendental drumming techniques, controlling its drumsticks as if they were its own limbs. The sounds it makes can reach across oceans and other regions, and it is said that the beat can cause whoever hears it to start dancing uncontrollably.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-rillaboom/ Gigantamax Rillaboom | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Rillaboom is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Rillaboom appears be based on a {{wp|gorilla}} with elements from {{wp|drummer}}s, most notably ''{{wp|Taiko}}'' drummers. Its behavior may reference the fact that gorillas {{wp|Drum#Animal drumming|make drumming sounds}} by beating their chests to show {{wp|Social dominance theory|social dominance}}. It may also take inspiration from the belief that music stimulates plant growth. Its size and ape-like appearance may also be partially influenced by the extinct ''{{wp|Gigantopithecus}}'', a prehistoric genus of apes.

Rillaboom's [[Gigantamax]] form appears to draw inspiration from modern {{wp|rock music|rock}} drummers.

====Name origin====
Rillaboom may be a combination of ''gorilla'' and ''boom''.

Gorirander may be a combination of ''gorilla'' and 乱打 ''randa'' (battering). It may be derived from Coriander, a type of herb or plant from the family Apiacease.

'''Rillaboom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴリランダー''' ''Gorirander'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Thwackey}} starting at [[level]] 35. It is the final form of {{p|Grookey}}.

Rillaboom can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Rillaboom''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Rillaboom was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

==Biology==
Rillaboom is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|gorilla}}. Its body consists mostly of shades of brown: light, tan brown on its forehead, chest, abs, and extremities; dark brown on its nose and triangular ears, as well as under its eyes; and medium, mud-like brown across the rest of its body, including its thick arms and legs. Its mouth, the tip of its nose, and its irises are orange, and its sclerae are white. Each of its upper arms have tan marks resembling bow-ties or butterflies, and it has two, diamond-shaped, tan marks running down its spine. The first, and larger, of the two marks begins around its shoulder blades, and the second, and smaller, mark begins below its rib cage. Rillaboom has a thick bush of green, leaf-like hair on its head, which cascades down its back; on its forehead, a single, vine-like hair, which closely resembles a music note, falls between its eyes and curls at the end, which sits to its nose's left side. On its hips on either side, it has green, belt-like adornments resembling four leaves in a row. Similar adornments with two leaf-like parts sit on its each of its shoulders near the clavicles; these adornments appear to be part of its hair when not attacking. On each of its wrists, Rillaboom has cuffs that resemble leafy crowns, with the peaks of the crown facing its hands.

Rillaboom always carries its signature drum with it on its back, and pulls it out when engaged in battle. This bass drum is crafted from a tree stump, with several thick branch stumps protruding from it, which form both the legs of the bass drum as well as mid and high toms. Rillaboom also carries two drumsticks in its cuffs and takes them out to beat its drum.

By drumming, Rillaboom can tap into the power of its special tree stump. The roots of the stump follow the direction of its drumming in battle. In a troop of Rillaboom, the one with the best drumming technique is the leader. Rillaboom has a kind disposition and values harmony within its group. It is very sensitive towards discord that could threaten the group's harmony, so it keeps a strict watch for such actions. Due to its strong sense of unity, it will ferociously defend its allies from trouble.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/rillaboom/ Rillaboom | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Rillaboom is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Drum Beating}}. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Branch Poke}} is also one of its signature moves.

===Forms===
[[File:812Rillaboom-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|250px|Gigantamax Rillaboom using {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}]]
Rillaboom has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

As Gigantamax Rillaboom, its upper body fuses with its enlarged tree-stump drum. The stump changes to resemble a full drum kit. The leaves expand to become four arms, each holding a drum stick while its single vine-like hair stands up and curls at the tip. As with all Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds circle above it. The power building up inside Gigantamax Rillaboom compels it to perform transcendental drumming techniques, controlling its drumsticks as if they were its own limbs. The sounds it makes can reach across oceans and other regions, and it is said that the beat can cause whoever hears it to start dancing uncontrollably.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-rillaboom/ Gigantamax Rillaboom | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Rillaboom is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Rillaboom appears be based on a {{wp|gorilla}} with elements from {{wp|drummer}}s, most notably ''{{wp|Taiko}}'' drummers. Its behavior may reference the fact that gorillas {{wp|Drum#Animal drumming|make drumming sounds}} by beating their chests to show {{wp|Social dominance theory|social dominance}}. It may also take inspiration from the belief that music stimulates plant growth. Its size and ape-like appearance may also be partially influenced by the extinct ''{{wp|Gigantopithecus}}'', a prehistoric genus of apes.

Rillaboom's [[Gigantamax]] form appears to draw inspiration from modern {{wp|rock music|rock}} drummers.

====Name origin====
Rillaboom may be a combination of ''gorilla'' and ''boom''.

Gorirander may be a combination of ''gorilla'' and 乱打 ''randa'' (battering). It may be derived from Coriander, a type of herb or plant from the family Apiacease.

'''Poltchageist''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャデス''' ''Chadesu'') is a {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]], in [[The Teal Mask]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It shares similarities with {{p|Sinistea}}; however, the two are biologically separate species.

==Biology==
[[File:Poltchageist's swirl mark.jpg|250px|thumb|left|The swirl pattern on Poltchageist's body.]]
Poltchageist is a Pokémon made of {{wp|matcha}} tea powder that inhabits a {{wp|tea caddy}}; specifically, the kind used in the traditional {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony}}. The tea caddy is primarily black and white, with a white lid, a sealed crack near the top, and a painted pattern resembling a face. Poltchageist heavily resembles {{p|Sinistea}}, although they are not biologically related. On top of its matcha body, just below its lid, is a swirl pattern similar to the one found on Sinistea. On Sinistea, this swirl pattern serves as its weak spot and will cause it to become dizzy if stirred; however, this is not the case for Poltchageist.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/poltchageist/ Poltchageist | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]</ref>

According to a tale, Poltchageist was born from the regrets of an old tea master, who was so obsessed with perfecting the art of the tea ceremony that he drove away everyone around him.<ref name=YoutubeCha>(August 22, 2023). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMWrwe9fJJk The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref> Poltchageist is more active at night than during the day, flying around towns and their outskirts. By day, Poltchageist dwells in cool, dark places — usually in old houses, which is its favorite.<ref name=SVsite/>

Poltchageist tends to scatter its matcha powder on people and food. If someone touches or ingests the powder, they will notice their skin apparently glowing for a brief moment, before they fall unconscious as their life force is sapped away by the powder for Poltchageist to use as energy.<ref name=SVsite/> It is capable of draining energy in this way from many people at once.<ref name=YoutubeCha/> Another behaviour exhibited by Poltchageist is its strong tendency to repair broken objects and seal cracks by filling them in with its matcha powder.<ref name=SVsite/><ref name=YoutubeCha/>

==Trivia==
[[File:The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist Poster.png|250px|thumb|right|The Haunting Tale of Poltchageist Poster]]
* Poltchageist was first teased during the [[2023 World Championships]], where attendees were given a tea ceremony set with the date of the reveal trailer's release included. Additional teasers include the official Pokémon website featuring a background decorated with matcha powder, and a [[Kitakami]] poster advertising the in-universe theatrical performance shown in the trailer.
* Despite being based on {{p|Sinistea}}<ref name=SVsite/>, Poltchageist's name resembles that of a different species, namely its evolution {{p|Polteageist}}.
* Poltchageist is the first convergent species to share one of its types with it’s counterpart, namely [[Ghost]].

===Origin===
Poltchageist appears to be based on {{wp|matcha}}, which is green tea that has been specially grown, processed, and finely ground into powder. Its design incorporates various utensils used in a session of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony}}, such as the 茶入 ''chaire'' (tea caddy) used to store the tea, and the 茶杓 ''chashaku'' (tea scoop) used to transfer the tea powder into the teacup. It may also be based on a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, being an inanimate household object come to life. The three dots above Poltchageist's left eye resembles the {{wp|List of Japanese map symbols|Japanese map symbol}} for tea plantations.

Poltchageist's overall design resembles {{p|Sinistea}}, having similar eyes and spiral-like markings within its tea.<ref name=SVsite/> This may be a reference to {{wp|convergent evolution}} or {{wp|parallel evolution}}, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.

Additionally, due to the way it repairs broken objects, Poltchageist may be based on the process of 金継ぎ ''{{wp|kintsugi}}'', in which cracked and broken pottery is mended using lacquer mixed with a metallic powder, usually gold.

Poltchageist may also be based on the {{wp|Sandman}}, a mythical being which uses sand to make humans fall asleep, although in this case, it uses matcha powder instead.

====Name origin====
Poltchageist may be a combination of ''{{wp|poltergeist}}'' or ''{{p|Polteageist}}'' and 抹茶 ''matcha''.

Chadesu may be a pun on 茶です ''cha desu'' ("It's tea").

'''Milcery''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マホミル''' ''Mahomil'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Alcremie}} while holding a [[Sweet]] when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose. The [[Alcremie (Pokémon)#Form data|form]] it evolves into depends on the {{DL|Time|Time-based evolutions|time}} of day, the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. Its appearance is further determined by the type of Sweet that is held.


Milcery evolves into:
* '''Vanilla Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Ruby Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Matcha Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Mint Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Lemon Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Salted Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Ruby Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Caramel Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Rainbow Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 10 seconds during the evening.
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Milcery is a small cream-colored {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a splash of milk. It has a droplet-shaped body composed of cream, with two arms and a crown of six protrusions. These protrusions are made out of that same cream with droplets constantly jumping from them. It has completely white eyes. Milcery is born from sweet-smelling particles in the air. It is rumored that patisseries visited by Milcery are guaranteed success and good fortune. It is a female-only species.

===Evolution===
Milcery evolves into one of nine forms of {{p|Alcremie}}.

'''Slowbro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドラン''' ''Yadoran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} starting at [[level]] 37. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being {{p|Slowking}}.

Slowbro can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Slowbro''' using the [[Slowbronite‎]].

In [[Galar]], Slowbro has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Psychic}} [[regional form]], introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s 1.2.0 patch. It evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke when exposed to a [[Galarica Cuff]]. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowking.

==Biology==
Slowbro is a bipedal, pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan, striped belly and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has large, vacant eyes, curled ears, and two small pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers on its hands and two clawed toes on its feet. There is a {{p|Shellder}} attached to its tail. This Shellder has a gray, spiral shell with darker gray spots and small, triangular eyes near the base. There are several spikes across the surface of the Shellder, and it holds onto Slowbro with many sharp teeth. Shellder developed its spiral form in an effort to suck more sweetness out of Slowbro's tail. If its tail or the Shellder attached to it is broken off, Slowbro will [[Devolution|revert]] to its unevolved form, {{p|Slowpoke}}.

Slowbro has lost the capability to feel pain due to the Shellder's poison. While typically lazy and unintelligent, Slowbro apparently becomes inspired when the Shellder bites down on its tail. While it is capable of unleashing powerful psychic attacks, Slowbro is typically rather peaceful and usually prefers not to fight. Because it can no longer fish using its tail, it instead swims to catch its prey and allows the Shellder to feed on its leftover scraps. Slowbro tends to live near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|ponds, lakes, and seashores}}.

===Forms===
Slowbro has a [[regional form]], {{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro, and can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Slowbro.

;Galarian Slowbro
In [[Galar]], Galarian Slowbro's appearance is due to Shellder biting Galarian Slowpoke's arm instead of its tail, causing a chemical reaction between the Shellder's poison and the consumed [[Galarica Twig|Galarica]] spices within the Slowpoke's body.<ref name=SwShsite /> The Shellder attached to its arm resembles the Shellder tail of its Kantonian counterpart but smaller, with a purple tip shaped like a stinger. Galarian Slowbro itself has a slight color difference compared to its counterpart, with purple accents on its head, arms and tail.

Galarian Slowbro are considered highly dangerous for its tendency to indiscriminately attack its surroundings, the reason for which is due to its Shellder sometimes unconsciously biting down hard on its arm. While normally zoned out, when facing a strong opponent its body becomes stimulated, and it will sport a sharper expression. Galarian Slowbro attacks by grabbing at its Shellder's tongue, causing the Shellder to fire poisonous liquids from its tip. It attacks at speeds rivaling the quickest of known reflexes.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-slowbro/ Galarian Slowbro | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Galarian Slowbro is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shell Side Arm}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Quick Draw}} as an [[Ability]].

;Mega Slowbro
As Mega Slowbro, it becomes engulfed by the Shellder so that only its head, arms, and white-tipped tail are visible. Its head pokes out of the Shellder's mouth and is surrounded by the Shellder's enlarged teeth. The Shellder has holes on its sides and an opening at its tip, allowing Mega Slowbro's arms and tail to stick out. Mega Slowbro balances on its tail due to its legs being engulfed. It can move by bouncing, using its tail as a spring. The spikes on the Shellder are now reduced to four on the bottom section of its body and the dark spots only visible on its middle section. Mega Slowbro's energy has gathered into Shellder, which has increased its hardness. This allows it to act as armor so hard that nothing can scratch it. The Slowbro inside is virtually unchanged, but it gains some power and motivation from Shellder's digestive fluids.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as {{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro and Galarian {{p|Slowking}}.
* Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers its [[evolution]], mentioned in most of its [[Pokédex]] entries, Slowbro's evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the [[core series]], unlike how the evolution of {{p|Mantyke}} requires a {{p|Remoraid}}.
{{bulbanews|Mega Audino and Slowbro revealed}}
* Mega Slowbro was first accidentally revealed on the official Korean Pokémon website on August 12, 2014, two days prior to its official release by [[Junichi Masuda]].
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Slowbro is tied with {{p|Cloyster}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Slowbro's tail has an attached Shellder — the pre-evolved form of Cloyster — which grows to engulf it during Mega Evolution. This may have been an intended parallel.
** Mega Slowbro also has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
* Slowbro's Pokédex entries state that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to a Slowpoke. This is a rare example of [[devolution]] being mentioned in the games.
* Many Pokémon are noted to evolve by two or more Pokémon combining, such as {{p|Metang}} being formed by two {{p|Beldum}}. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} does not show this and simply spawns the second Pokémon out of nowhere: an example is [[Morrison's Beldum]], which simply evolved into Metang without the need of joining to another Beldum. The evolution of Slowpoke into Slowbro or {{p|Slowking}} is the only time that evolution by two Pokémon physically merging is shown in the anime.
* Slowbro is the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
** In {{g|GO}}, which features both, Galarian Slowbro cannot Mega Evolve.
* Slowbro, its Galarian form, and their evolutionary relatives are the only Psychic-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Its physical appearance may be based on {{wp|hippopotamus}}es, {{wp|giant otter}}s, and {{wp|giant salamander}}s. Slowbro's appearance may also be a reference to the mythical {{wp|sazae-oni}}, a magical sea demon of {{wp|Japanese folklore}} distinguished by its spiny "sazae" or "turban-shaped" snail shell. Slowbro's shell and lifestyle may be based on {{wp|hermit crab}}s, further supported by its {{pkmn|category}} as the Hermit Crab Pokémon.

Slowbro's relationship with Shellder may be inspired by {{wp|leech}}es.

Galarian Slowbro's {{type|Poison}} might draw inspiration from {{wp|cone snail}}s, which have cone-shaped shells and are highly venomous. The shell's position on Slowbro's arm and use for ranged attacks resembles depictions of arm cannons in fictional media.

====Name origin====
Slowbro may be a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'' (short for ''brother'').

Yadoran was named after the famous {{wp|Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavian}} singer-songwriter {{wp|Jadranka Stojaković}}, who had worked for {{wp|Konami}} during her residence in Japan. Her name is transliterated into Japanese as ヤドランカ ''Yadoranka'', which is dialectal for "wouldn't you reside?". A former colleague of hers who later joined [[Game Freak]] brought her name to mind while naming Slowbro. <ref>[https://radiosarajevo.ba/metromahala/lica/jadranka-stojakovic-vratila-sam-se-definitivno/54320 Jadranka Stojaković: Vratila sam se definitivno / Radio Sarajevo] ''in Bosnian''</ref> The name may also involve 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}), 宿主 ''yadonushi'' (parasitic host), and 鈍 ''don'' (dull).

Gigantamax

2023-08-08T20:20:22Z

GDNH16: /* Trivia */

:''Not to be confused with [[Gigantamix]]''.
'''Gigantamax''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックス''' ''Kyodaimax'') is a special kind of [[Dynamax]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and its {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically.

There are 32 species of Pokémon that are capable of Gigantamaxing, and there are 32 different Gigantamax forms; {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} share a Gigantamax form, and {{p|Urshifu}} has two Gigantamax forms depending on its form (though {{p|Alcremie}} and {{p|Toxtricity}} have one Gigantamax form regardless of their form).

A Pokémon under the effects of Gigantamax are distinguished by having "Gigantamax" in front of their species name e.g. "Gigantamax Hatterene". The process itself can describe the Pokémon as having "Gigantamaxed" in past-tense, or will "Gigantamax" in future-tense. Pokémon actively undergoing Gigantamax are described as "Gigantamaxing". However, the terminology used for Dynamaxing can also be used for Gigantamax.

==History==
Gigantamax, as a type of Dynamax, originated from {{p|Eternatus}}, who provides the [[Galar]] [[region]] with Power Spots where Dynamax can be triggered. The Galar Particles left by Eternatus affected the Pokémon living in [[Galar]], giving a few of them the Gigantamax Factor needed for transformation. These Pokémon may only be found in [[Pokémon Den]]s. As a type of Dynamax, a [[Wishing Star]] and [[Dynamax Band]] are required to use the Gigantamax transformation.

[[Rose]] implemented Dynamax and Gigantamax in Gym battles.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref>

At some point, another method of obtaining the Gigantamax Factor was accidentally discovered by {{gal|Honey}} while developing the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} out of [[Max Mushrooms]].

Although Dynamax and Gigantamax are only known to occur in the Galar region, {{p|Melmetal}}'s Gigantamax form is a legend in a land distant from Galar.

==Gigantamax Factor==
Even within species that are capable of Gigantamaxing, only certain individuals can Gigantamax. Pokémon that can Gigantamax are said to have the '''Gigantamax Factor'''.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/train-raid-and-hatch-pokemon-to-breed-victories-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ Train, Raid, and Hatch Pokémon to Breed Victories in ''Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield'']</ref> Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can be seen having the [[File:Dynamax icon.png|24px]] symbol next to their name on the summary screen.

When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, if it has the Gigantamax Factor and is of a species that has a '''Gigantamax form''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックスのすがた'''), it will turn into its Gigantamax form. If it does not have the Gigantamax Factor it will simply Dynamax as normal; if it has the Gigantamax Factor but does not have its own Gigantamax form (e.g. because it evolves into a Pokémon that does), it will also Dynamax as normal.

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} with the Gigantamax Factor cannot [[evolution|evolve]]. They are also blocked from [[transfer]] to games other than {{g|Sword and Shield}} to prevent them from evolving in other games.

===Acquisition===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[wild Pokémon]] with the Gigantamax Factor can only be caught in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, but have a rare encounter rate and typically a lower [[catch rate]]. If the wild Pokémon that has a Gigantamax Form has the Gigantamax Factor, it will appear in its Gigantamax form in the Max Raid Battle. Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles that do not have a Gigantamax form will not have the Gigantamax Factor, with the exception of certain [[Wild Area News]] Max Raid Battles.

Some Pokémon can only have the Gigantamax Factor in Max Raid Battles exclusive to limited-time [[Wild Area News]]. In addition, {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Coalossal}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Lapras}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Shield. Players with the opposite game may still join Max Raid Battles or use Max Soup to obtain these forms.

{{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] can be obtained with the Gigantamax Factor as [[gift Pokémon]]. {{p|Meowth}} with the Gigantamax Factor was first distributed via [[Mystery Gift]]. {{p|Melmetal}} with the Gigantamax Factor can only be obtained via [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions (Generation VIII)#Pokémon GO Melmetal|Mystery Gift]] in [[Pokémon HOME]].

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pokémon cannot inherit the Gigantamax Factor. The Kanto starter Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms, {{p|Milcery}}, and {{p|Hattrem}} are the only Pokémon without a Gigantamax form that can have the Gigantamax Factor; Kanto starter Pokémon as a gift Pokémon, their secondary evolved forms by evolving them, and Milcery and Hattrem from Wild Area News-exclusive Max Raid Battles.

By drinking [[Max Soup]], introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion, certain Pokémon which were previously incapable of Gigantamaxing can gain the Gigantamax Factor. All Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, with the exception of {{p|Melmetal}}, can drink Max Soup to gain the Gigantamax Factor. If a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor drinks Max Soup, it will lose its Gigantamax Factor. Three bundles of [[Max Mushrooms]] are required to make the Max Soup. Uniquely, [[Max Honey]] can also be used with the Max Mushroom to unlock the Gigantamax Factor for {{p|Urshifu}}.

==Effects==
In its Gigantamax form, a Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]]. Each G-Max Move is exclusive to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon. All of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moves of a certain type turn into G-Max Moves instead of their corresponding [[Max Move]]. Outside of G-Max Moves, Gigantamax is functionally identical to Dynamax; Pokémon's HP increases according to its Dynamax Level, while all other stats and its [[Ability]] remain the same.

The Gigantamax Factor cannot be copied using {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}. Even if a Pokémon transforms into a Pokémon that has the Gigantamax Factor, it can still only [[Dynamax]] to its standard form.

In the [[Pokédex]], Gigantamax forms are all listed with [[List of Pokémon by height|heights]] ending in a plus, suggesting that the recorded height is only a minimal estimate, and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weights]] of "???", suggesting that their weights are immeasurable. A Gigantamax Pokémon must be used in battle in order to register the Gigantamax entry in the player's Pokédex; this is in contrast to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], whereby the form difference only has to be seen in order to register the entry as long as at least one of the other forms of the Pokémon is registered as owned.

==In the TCG==
Gigantamax is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as {{VMAX}}. It was added as a new mechanic to the game in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the {{TCG|Sword}} and {{TCG|Shield}} sets in Japan).

Released along with the first Pokémon V cards, '''Pokémon VMAX''' introduce the [[Dynamax]] and Gigantamax mechanics into the Trading Card Game. Pokémon VMAX evolve from their respective Pokémon V, giving them boosted {{TCG|Hit Points}} (so far, the biggest HPs in a Pokémon card) and more powerful attacks. When a VMAX Pokémon is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one.

So far, all released VMAX Pokémon have one or two attacks, and sometimes an ability. While keeping the same layout of Pokémon V, VMAX Pokémon cards have a rainbow background and details on the card's bottom, as well its illustration also fading into the top-most area and having the visual aura of Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing on the Pokémon.

* The {{type|Water}} has the most Pokémon with Gigantamax forms out of any type, with six.
* Almost all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can Gigantamax are from either [[Generation I]] or [[Generation VIII]]. The only exceptions to this are {{p|Garbodor}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, who are from [[Generation V|Generations V]] and {{gen|VII}}, respectively.
** All fully evolved {{type|Fire}} Pokémon species introduced in Generation VIII have a Gigantamax form.
* The fully evolved [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Gigantamax and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
* {{p|Meowth}} is the only Pokémon to have both a Gigantamax form and a [[regional form]].
* {{p|Urshifu}} is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] that has a Gigantamax form.
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] that has a Gigantamax form.
** Additionally, it is the only [[gender unknown]] Pokémon that has a Gigantamax form.

** {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Pikachu}} can only Gigantamax in one of their available forms.
* {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} are the only distinct Pokémon who share a Gigantamax form, although their G-Max Moves and [[cry|cries]] are different.
* {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} are the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that can Gigantamax. Retroactively, {{p|Duraludon}} also fits in this category as of [[Generation IX]] (due to the addition of {{p|Archaludon}}).
** Pikachu is also the only non-fully evolved Pokémon that can Gigantamax that has evolved once from another Pokémon ({{p|Pichu}}).

'''Duraludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュラルドン''' ''Duraludon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It evolves into {{p|Archaludon}}.

Duraludon can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Duraludon''' if it has the Gigantamax Factor for its Gigantamax form.

==Biology==
Duraludon is a tall bipedal dinosaur-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large feet, a chunky tail, and a head integrated to its neck. Its body is mainly light gray and dark blue, with zigzag patterns running down its body, gray bands around its arms, and two black slits on its lower chest. Its hands have four triangular indents. Duraludon's head has a small red section and multiple slits on it. It also has yellow eyes with green pupils, and it appears to be permanently scowling. It moves its upper jaw when opening its mouth.

Duraludon's body is made of strong, but surprisingly light metal. Weighing only 88 lbs. (40 kg), it can move very fast. However, its body can easily rust, so it lives in caves and mountainous areas and avoids rain. It uses its arms, which have slightly different shapes from each other, to grind down rock surfaces for food. Duraludon has a rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}}, which it shares its habitat with, and they often battle each other in the mountains of [[Galar]].<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Duraludon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Stalwart}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Duraludon has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

Gigantamax Duraludon is much larger and resembles a skyscraper. It has a massive glass plate on its abdomen, and its chest has glass panels that resemble windows. It also gains a horn-like protrusion on its head, and metal strips on its feet resembling toes. Three red clouds surround its neck. In its Gigantamax state, parts of its body glow due to an abundance of energy. The cells in its body are exceptionally durable, even among {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, and it is resistant to earthquakes thanks to its body structure. Gigantamax Duraludon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Depletion}}.

==Trivia==
* Duraludon is the only Pokémon with both {{a|Light Metal}} and {{a|Heavy Metal}} as potential [[Ability|Abilities]].
* With the addition of Archaludon, Duraludon has become the fourth non-fully evolved Pokémon to have a Gigantamax form (after {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}}).
** As such, Duraludon is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon to have a Gigantamax Form that is introduced after [[Generation 1]].
** As Gigantamaxing is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and Archaludon will be introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], this is the only such case where both the evolution and the Gigantamax form can't be found in the same game.

===Origin===
Duraludon and especially its Gigantamax form seems to be based on {{wp|The Shard}}, the tallest building in the United Kingdom. Based on its name, the metal that covers its body is presumably {{wp|duralumin}}, an aluminum-copper alloy that is strong and light, but not very resistant to corrosion. Its rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}} may be a reference to the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre of films. Its overall body shape resembles a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}.

====Name origin====
Duraludon may be a combination of ''duralumin'', ''durable'', ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Duraludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュラルドン''' ''Duraludon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It evolves into {{p|Archaludon}}.

Duraludon can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Duraludon''' if it has the Gigantamax Factor for its Gigantamax form.

==Biology==
Duraludon is a tall bipedal dinosaur-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with large feet, a chunky tail, and a head integrated to its neck. Its body is mainly light gray and dark blue, with zigzag patterns running down its body, gray bands around its arms, and two black slits on its lower chest. Its hands have four triangular indents. Duraludon's head has a small red section and multiple slits on it. It also has yellow eyes with green pupils, and it appears to be permanently scowling. It moves its upper jaw when opening its mouth.

Duraludon's body is made of strong, but surprisingly light metal. Weighing only 88 lbs. (40 kg), it can move very fast. However, its body can easily rust, so it lives in caves and mountainous areas and avoids rain. It uses its arms, which have slightly different shapes from each other, to grind down rock surfaces for food. Duraludon has a rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}}, which it shares its habitat with, and they often battle each other in the mountains of [[Galar]].<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Duraludon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Stalwart}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Duraludon has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

Gigantamax Duraludon is much larger and resembles a skyscraper. It has a massive glass plate on its abdomen, and its chest has glass panels that resemble windows. It also gains a horn-like protrusion on its head, and metal strips on its feet resembling toes. Three red clouds surround its neck. In its Gigantamax state, parts of its body glow due to an abundance of energy. The cells in its body are exceptionally durable, even among {{type|Steel}} Pokémon, and it is resistant to earthquakes thanks to its body structure. Gigantamax Duraludon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Depletion}}.

==Trivia==
* Duraludon is the only Pokémon with both {{a|Light Metal}} and {{a|Heavy Metal}} as potential [[Ability|Abilities]].
* With the addition of Archaludon, Duraludon has become the fourth non-fully evolved Pokémon to have a Gigantamax form (after {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}}).
** As such, Duraludon is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon to do so that is introduced after [[Generation 1]].
** As Gigantamaxing is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and Archaludon will be introduced in [[The Indigo Disk]], this is the only such case where both the evolution and the Gigantamax form can't be found in the same game.

===Origin===
Duraludon and especially its Gigantamax form seems to be based on {{wp|The Shard}}, the tallest building in the United Kingdom. Based on its name, the metal that covers its body is presumably {{wp|duralumin}}, an aluminum-copper alloy that is strong and light, but not very resistant to corrosion. Its rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}} may be a reference to the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre of films. Its overall body shape resembles a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}.

====Name origin====
Duraludon may be a combination of ''duralumin'', ''durable'', ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

Metagross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Metagross''' using the [[Metagrossite]].

==Biology==
Metagross is a massive, robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a turquoise, disc-shaped body, and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. It also gains four legs on the back of its head. The cross on its face turns pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of performing complex calculations and is more intelligent than a {{wp|supercomputer}}. It is imbued with psychic powers and uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. Metagross uses its fantastic strength to pin down a victim using its four claws and body. This allows Metagross to use its large mouth and teeth to chew its victim to pieces. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}. Metagross can also be found living in snowy mountains as their magnetic powers becomes stronger in freezing temperatures.

Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two {{p|Beldum}} together. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its claws are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks. Because Mega Evolution stimulates its multiple brains and increases its intelligence, Mega Metagross becomes a ruthless combatant that will clutch at victory by absolutely any means, no matter how horrifyingly cruel. If victory is deemed impossible, Metagross will attempt to dig its claws into its opponent and prepare to explode.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Metagross SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta; however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

====Trophy information====
''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''

Metagross also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.''

'''PAL''': ''A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope you're far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Metagross returns once again as a Poké Ball summon, functioning the same as in ''Brawl'' and ''for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''. Metagross also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross]]
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these [[move]]s with or without its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}, {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192.
* Despite being a gender unknown species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross and its pre-evolved forms all share both their standard and Hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.
* Mega Metagross is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* At the time of its introduction, Metagross was the only fully-evolved Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to not possess a 4 times weakness to any type.
* Metagross is also the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon that, in its debut generation, had no members of its evolutionary line able to be encountered in the wild.

===Origin===
Metagross appears to be based off a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|supercomputer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a {{wp|spider}}. Additionally, it is reminiscent of a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}. Metagross's face may draw inspiration from the largest gear of the {{wp|Antikythera mechanism}}, an ancient {{wp|analog computer}}.

====Name origin====
Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or ''groß'' (German for ''large'').

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

Metagross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Metagross''' using the [[Metagrossite]].

==Biology==
Metagross is a massive, robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a turquoise, disc-shaped body, and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. It also gains four legs on the back of its head. The cross on its face turns pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee.

Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of performing complex calculations and is more intelligent than a {{wp|supercomputer}}. It is imbued with psychic powers and uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. Metagross uses its fantastic strength to pin down a victim using its four claws and body. This allows Metagross to use its large mouth and teeth to chew its victim to pieces. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}. Metagross can also be found living in snowy mountains as their magnetic powers becomes stronger in freezing temperatures.

Mega Metagross achieves its form by linking up a Metagross, a Metang, and two {{p|Beldum}} together. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its claws are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks. Because Mega Evolution stimulates its multiple brains and increases its intelligence, Mega Metagross becomes a ruthless combatant that will clutch at victory by absolutely any means, no matter how horrifyingly cruel. If victory is deemed impossible, Metagross will attempt to dig its claws into its opponent and prepare to explode.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Metagross SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta; however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

====Trophy information====
''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''

Metagross also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way.''

'''PAL''': ''A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope you're far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground!''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Metagross returns once again as a Poké Ball summon, functioning the same as in ''Brawl'' and ''for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''. Metagross also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Metagross]]
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these [[move]]s with or without its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}, {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192.
* Despite being a gender unknown species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross and its pre-evolved forms all share both their standard and Hidden Abilities with {{p|Registeel}}.
* Mega Metagross is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* At the time of its introduction, Metagross was the only fully-evolved Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon to not possess a 4 times weakness to any type.
* Metagross is also the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon that, in its debut generation, had no members of its evolutionary line able to be encountered in the wild.

===Origin===
Metagross appears to be based off a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|supercomputer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a {{wp|spider}}. Additionally, it is reminiscent of a {{wp|Unidentified flying object|UFO}} and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}. Metagross's face may draw inspiration from the largest gear of the {{wp|Antikythera mechanism}}, an ancient {{wp|analog computer}}.

====Name origin====
Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or ''groß'' (German for ''large'').

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Paldea]], Wooper has a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Ground}} [[regional form]]. Paldean Wooper evolves into {{p|Clodsire}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Wooper Egg.png|left|thumb|250px|A Wooper {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. It is a timid Pokémon and tends to stay close to {{p|Quagsire}}. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/ Paldean Wooper — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Paldean Wooper travel and work together in groups of three or four, and enlist the help of their evolutionary relative, {{p|Clodsire}}, to ferry them across water. Despite the adaptational change, Paldean Wooper can still float or swim in the water.

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat and the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Wooper is the only Ground-type Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.
* Paldean Wooper is the only {{rf|Paldean|Form}} to be revealed prior to the release of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Consequently, it is also the only [[regional form]] to be revealed alone during a game's pre-release season.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper appears to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Many species of salamanders are known for their poisonous skin, which may be referenced in Wooper's Pokédex entries and Paldean Wooper's design. Wooper's {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants, or an {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs.

Paldean Wooper's gills make the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. These bone-shaped gills, combined with Paldean Wooper's brown coloration, rib-like pattern on its chest, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by the {{wp|Iberian peninsula}}, together may be a direct reference to the {{wp|Iberian ribbed newt}}. This salamander species is known for puncturing its poison-coated ribs through its skin as a defense mechanism, much like how Paldean Wooper is able to secrete poison out of its bone-shaped gills. Paldean Wooper may also be inspired by {{wp|mudskipper}}s, which are fish that are capable of living outside of water.

Alternatively, the fact that Paldean Wooper was forced out of its ancient water habitat may be a reference to the ecological issues facing the axolotl in the wild, following the destruction of the Aztec captial of {{wp|Tenochtitlan}} and the draining of {{wp|Lake Texcoco}}.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah may be derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Paldea]], Wooper has a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Ground}} [[regional form]]. Paldean Wooper evolves into {{p|Clodsire}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
[[File:Wooper Egg.png|left|thumb|250px|A Wooper {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. It is a timid Pokémon and tends to stay close to {{p|Quagsire}}. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/ Paldean Wooper — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Paldean Wooper travel and work together in groups of three or four, and enlist the help of their evolutionary relative, {{p|Clodsire}}, to ferry them across water. Despite the adaptational change, Paldean Wooper can still float or swim in the water.

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat and the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Wooper is the only Ground-type Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.
* Paldean Wooper is the only {{rf|Paldean|Form}} to be revealed prior to the release of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Consequently, it is also the only [[regional form]] to be revealed alone during a game's pre-release season.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper appears to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Many species of salamanders are known for their poisonous skin, which may be referenced in Wooper's Pokédex entries and Paldean Wooper's design. Wooper's {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants, or an {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs.

Paldean Wooper's gills make the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. These bone-shaped gills, combined with Paldean Wooper's brown coloration, rib-like pattern on its chest, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by the {{wp|Iberian peninsula}}, together may be a direct reference to the {{wp|Iberian ribbed newt}}. This salamander species is known for puncturing its poison-coated ribs through its skin as a defense mechanism, much like how Paldean Wooper is able to secrete poison out of its bone-shaped gills. Paldean Wooper may also be inspired by {{wp|mudskipper}}s, which are fish that are capable of living outside of water.

Alternatively, the fact that Paldean Wooper was forced out of its ancient water habitat may be a reference to the ecological issues facing the axolotl in the wild, following the destruction of the Aztec captial of {{wp|Tenochtitlan}} and the draining of {{wp|Lake Texcoco}}.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah may be derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Paldea]], Wooper has a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Ground}} [[regional form]]. Paldean Wooper evolves into {{p|Clodsire}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. It is a timid Pokémon and tends to stay close to {{p|Quagsire}}. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/ Paldean Wooper — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Paldean Wooper travel and work together in groups of three or four, and enlist the help of their evolutionary relative, {{p|Clodsire}}, to ferry them across water. Despite the adaptational change, Paldean Wooper can still float or swim in the water.

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat and the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Wooper is the only Ground-type Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.
* Paldean Wooper is the only {{rf|Paldean|Form}} to be revealed prior to the release of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Consequently, it is also the only [[regional form]] to be revealed alone during a game's pre-release season.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper appears to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Many species of salamanders are known for their poisonous skin, which may be referenced in Wooper's Pokédex entries and Paldean Wooper's design. Wooper's {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants, or an {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs.

Paldean Wooper's gills make the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. These bone-shaped gills, combined with Paldean Wooper's brown coloration, rib-like pattern on its chest, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by the {{wp|Iberian peninsula}}, together may be a direct reference to the {{wp|Iberian ribbed newt}}. This salamander species is known for puncturing its poison-coated ribs through its skin as a defense mechanism, much like how Paldean Wooper is able to secrete poison out of its bone-shaped gills. Paldean Wooper may also be inspired by {{wp|mudskipper}}s, which are fish that are capable of living outside of water.

Alternatively, the fact that Paldean Wooper was forced out of its ancient water habitat may be a reference to the ecological issues facing the axolotl in the wild, following the destruction of the Aztec captial of {{wp|Tenochtitlan}} and the draining of {{wp|Lake Texcoco}}.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah may be derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

[[File:Season 23 logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:Pocket Monsters 2019 logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and on June 12, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode mini series focused on Ash and Pikachu which takes place after the events of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''Journeys'' called ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'' (ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター) was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref>

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes]].

* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retains its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:
** To be dubbed by [[Iyuno-SDI Group]] (formerly known as Iyuno Media Group) and Goldcrest Post.
** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' where {{Ash}}'s outfit is not directly influenced by the male player character's outfit for the concurrent [[generation]].

** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[starter Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the concurrent generation in the anime concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** Other than the [[Original series|original one]] to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to concerns from the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a Japanese [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' to feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the concurrent generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** Since the original series to not have the names of the generation's first [[core series]] games in its title.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series with Ash as the protagonist in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation and was a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

[[File:Pocket Monsters 2019 logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and on June 12, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode mini series focused on Ash and Pikachu which takes place after the events of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''Journeys'' called ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'' (ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター) was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref>

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes]].

* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:
** To be dubbed by [[Iyuno-SDI Group]] (formerly known as Iyuno Media Group) and Goldcrest Post.

** Other than the [[Original series|original one]] to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to concerns from the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a Japanese [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' to feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the concurrent generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** Since the original series to not have the names of the generation's first [[core series]] games in its title.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series with Ash as the protagonist in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation and was a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}'s {{pkmn|journey}} has led them to [[Stow-on-Side]] in [[Galar]], where they decide to relieve their hunger by stopping at a café. The sandwiches they're served taste familiar to them, and the reason turns out to be because they're made by {{ashfr|their old friend}}, {{an|Brock}}, who explains that he's trying to win over the café owner [[Kathy]]'s heart. However, Kathy suddenly informs Brock that her boyfriend is going to be returning soon and they'll get married once he does, resulting in Brock's heart getting broken once again. Later, while Ash and Misty try to cheer Brock up, they're approached by another one of Ash's old traveling companions, {{an|Cilan}}, whom Misty recognizes from the [[Fishing|lure]] that [[JN138|Ash used recently]]. Misty introduces herself as the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]], with Cilan recognizing the [[Cerulean Gym]] as the place run by [[the Sensational Sisters]], whom Misty sheepishly admits to be her sisters. Cilan, in turn, introduces himself as a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] and demonstrates his profession by evaluating [[Misty's Psyduck]]. Ash tries to introduce Cilan to Brock, only to learn that they've actually [[BWS01|met before]] in [[Johto]] and also [[JN132|watched his battle]] in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] finals together, with Cilan also remembering to congratulate him on his victory. Up above, {{TRT}} observes the reunion from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] while once again scheming to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Cilan figures that the sight of beautiful flowers could cheer Brock up, so the group takes him to see a flower field nearby. While the sight does momentarily cheer Brock up, he's quickly reminded of Kathy and falls into depression again. His negativity is sensed by a {{p|Hatterene}} lurking in the nearby woods, who uses her {{t|Psychic}} powers to create an illusion of Kathy for Brock to follow. The others try to run after Brock, but Hatterene induces headache on them to keep them from following until she and Brock are out of sight. Once the headache is over, the rest of the group runs into [[Glimwood Tangle]] as well, secretly followed by Team Rocket. When they fail to locate Brock, Cilan assumes his "Connoisseur Detective" mode. He deduces that Hatterene, which is able to sense emotions from {{tt|50 kilometers|30 miles}} away, sensed the heartbroken Brock's negative emotions and used her Psychic powers to lure him into the forest. Also known as "the Forest Witch", Hatterene are said to lure in those with negative emotions and trap them inside their forest. Moreover, they are also known for violently attacking those who get too loud around them, putting Brock in serious danger.

While looking for Brock, the group finds a {{p|Hatenna}}. Ash scans her with his [[Rotom Phone]], which reveals that Hatenna is able to sense the emotions of other creatures with the protrusion on her head. This gives Cilan an idea to ask Hatenna to help them find Brock. Ash agrees and asks Hatenna to do so, which she agrees to. It doesn't take long for Hatenna to sense Brock's negativity, but along the way to him, they encounter a {{p|Hattrem}}, which doesn't take kindly to the strong emotions they're exuding and angrily chases after them until they manage to lose her. Continuing on their way, Ash and Cilan both start feeling hungry again from all the running, while Misty gets scared of a {{p|Joltik}} hanging from a tree. Ash explains to Cilan that Misty loves {{t|Water}} types but hates {{t|Bug}} types. This prompts Cilan to ask her how she'd react to a Pokémon that's both of those types, like a {{p|Dewpider}}, which she doesn't have an easy answer to. Unnoticed by them, Hatterene appears behind them and starts casting illusions on the group: for Ash, she creates an illusion of {{Delia|his mother}} offering him some {{wp|croquette}}s; for Misty, the illusion is a group of Water-type Pokémon; and Cilan's illusion is [[Ingo]] and [[Emmet]] offering out boxed lunches. While each of them chases after their respective illusion, Team Rocket encounters Hattrem and is chased by her due to their own strong emotions.

As Ash and his friends run out of the forest, the illusions they were chasing change into much less pleasant forms, with Ash being crushed by a falling tower of giant croquettes, Misty's Water types transforming into Bug types, and Ingo and Emmet driving away from Cilan on a railroad cart. Finally, Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on all three of them, snapping them out of their illusions. After recovering from the return to reality, the group resumes following Hatenna's lead, soon leading them to Brock and Hatterene. With Hatenna relaying the emotions she's sensing to Pikachu, Cilan is able to deduce that Hatterene is making Brock feel love and rejection in an endless cycle to feed from the negativity of each heartbreak. Fearing that this could permanently scar Brock, Ash rushes to help him, only for Hatterene's illusions to make Brock see him as Kathy's boyfriend. Wanting to defend his "love" from him, Brock sends out {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to confront him, with Hatterene also attacking Ash. When Ash tries to protect Hatenna from the [[Move|attacks]] launched his way, Hatterene's influence on Brock starts to falter, ending completely just before Hatenna is struck by a {{m|Psycho Cut}} from Hatterene. He immediately rushes to help Hatenna, treating the injured spot with a [[Potion]] and bandages. With Brock's negativity gone, Hatterene also calms down, and she expresses her gratitude for Brock helping Hatenna. Above them, the invisible {{an|Latias}} resumes secretly following and observing Ash.

Later, Brock declares that he'll resume traveling with Ash and Misty to train his heart to become stronger. Ash and Misty look forward to tasting the delicious cookings of both Brock and Cilan, but Cilan informs them that he won't be traveling with them, as he intends to check out a new {{wp|Passenger railroad car|coach}} that Ingo and Emmet are about to unveil, as well as taste the boxed lunches they'll be serving. As such, Ash, Brock, and Misty part ways with Cilan and wave him goodbye. Meanwhile, Hatterene has found new "playmates" in Team Rocket, making them think they're eating endless food without actually satisfying their hunger.

==Plot==
[[File:Tower duo anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Goh encountering Ho-Oh]]
Continuing from where the [[JN135|last episode]] left off, {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] start their {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}} against {{p|Lugia}}, with Ash using {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Lucario}}, while Goh uses {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}}, and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}. However, while they manage to land many hits, Lugia hardly even flinches from them. Deciding on a combination attack, Goh has Cinderace use {{m|Pyro Ball}}, which is combined with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Inteleon's {{m|Mud Shot}}, and then gets sent flying by Grookey's {{m|Wood Hammer}}. The combo move makes contact, but even as Goh hurls a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Lugia, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] shrugs off the hit and counters with {{m|Aeroblast}}, which not only obliterates the Poké Ball but also breaks off the cliff Ash and Goh were standing on. They hastily [[recall]] their Pokémon, but are caught mid-fall as they fall on Lugia's back. Lugia starts flying around while showing Ash and Goh the multiple different kinds of Pokémon that inhabit the [[Pokémon world]]. Seeing first-hand how vast the world is, Goh starts feeling uncertain about his decision to travel alone, because it would mean he'd no longer have Ash's support on his {{pkmn|journey}}. In response, Ash reminds Goh how he was able to join [[Project Mew]] and meet {{an|Mew}} through his own efforts. The two suddenly hear Lugia {{pkmn2|Talking|speaking}} to them telepathically as it rises higher and flies into a thick cloud. A shimmering light comes into their view in the middle of the cloud, and they're amazed to see {{an|Ho-Oh}} flying by and disappearing into the distance as they exit the cloud. This encounter reaffirms both Ash and Goh's decisions to travel the vast world of Pokémon on a never-ending path to learn and meet more of them.

After reuniting with [[Chloe]], Ash and Goh return to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where [[Professor Cerise]], [[Chrysa]], and [[Ren]] approve their decision and thank them for the help they've provided in their Pokémon research. Ash and Goh are worried if the laboratory will be fine with its [[Professors' aides|research fellows]] gone, but Professor Cerise is unworried, and Chloe enters the conversation to reveal that she's going to be a new research fellow during weekends when she doesn't have to go to [[Vermilion City school|school]]. She also assures that the lab staff will take good care of [[List of Goh's Pokémon|Goh's Pokémon]] while he's away and asks when the two intend to leave, being surprised when they respond they plan to depart the next day. Meanwhile, at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, the [[Team Rocket trio]] is reporting to {{an|Giovanni}} that observing the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] has allowed them to pinpoint the strongest Pokémon in the world, which they claim to be within their grasp. Giovanni gives them the go-ahead to capture this Pokémon, and the trio leaves Giovanni's office, ecstatic that they've got their boss's support for their plan to capture Pikachu.
[[File:JN136 surprise party.png|thumb|250px|The surprise party at Cerise Park]]
That evening, once they're done cleaning up their room, Ash and Goh head to Cerise Park to feed their Pokémon one more time. Upon entering, though, they're surprised to find not just Chloe and the lab staff, but also {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Delia}}, and Goh and Chloe's families, who had decided to organize a surprise party to commemorate their departure. All of Ash and Goh's Pokémon join the celebration, with even {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} paying the park a visit to observe the party from afar. The next day, Ash and Goh leave their room at the Cerise Lab for the final time and set off, bidding farewell to Chloe and the lab staff. While they traverse through [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu is suddenly snatched by Team Rocket, who recite their {{motto}} and declare that they'll never give up on their attempts to steal Pikachu. They seal Pikachu in an insulated capsule, but {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, in one of its usual fits of hunger, momentarily mistakes the capsule for a [[Berry]] and bites down on it, breaking it and allowing Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, exploding [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] and sending the trio blasting off once again while he falls safely back into Ash's arms.

Leaving Vermilion City behind, Ash asks Goh what he plans to do next. He says he intends to tour [[Kanto]] first, since it still has many places he hasn't visited yet. Ash, meanwhile, has no set destination, going wherever the road leads him to. After passing through a crossroads together, they eventually come across another one, where they finally decide to take different paths. Goh thanks Ash for the support he's given to him, and the boys share a fist bump before parting ways. After a few moments of walking alone, Goh hesitantly stops, but Ash suddenly appears on a ledge above him, telling him to realize his goal of befriending Mew. Goh smiles and tells Ash to go achieve his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. His confidence reinvigorated, Goh starts running along the road, as does Ash on his own path. He tells Pikachu that this day, filled with sunlight and Pokémon, reminds him of [[EP001|the day they first set off]] from [[Pallet Town]]. Full of excitement, Ash jumps up high, looking forward to what experiences the world of Pokémon has in store for him.
[[File:JN136 group photo.png|thumb|left|250px|The group photo]]
The life continues on: at the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise and his assistants continue taking care of the Pokémon at Cerise Park, while Chloe begins her career as a research fellow by venturing out into the world; in Pallet Town, {{Gary}} introduces [[Horace]] to his grandfather; in [[Galar]], ex-Monarch {{an|Leon}} observes as his little brother [[Hop]] {{pkmn|training|trains}} with [[Bea]] in the [[Wild Area]]; in an Arctic area, [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] continue their work of helping out Pokémon in need; in [[Cerulean City]], Goh's journey leads him to meeting {{an|Misty}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]]; at a beach, Ash's journey leads to him reuniting with his old friend {{AP|Butterfree}} and [[Pink Butterfree|his mate]]; and, at the [[Player's house|Ketchum household]], Delia and [[Mimey]] continue taking care of the house, with a group photo taken during the party standing on top of a fireplace.

Eventually, in an unnamed city, Chloe and {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, traveling the world as part of their role as research fellows, spot a {{p|Beautifly}}, which flies past them to the other side of a river, where Goh has just {{pkmn2|caught}} himself a new Pokémon. Further away, Ash is battling a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Lapras}} with his Lucario, while the ever-persistent Team Rocket trio observes him from above. Though separated, all three young Trainers continue their own unique adventures in the endless world of Pokémon.

* [[Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!]]: {{p|Pikachu}}
* Similar to the [[JN001|first episode of this series]], this episode's [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] is played near the end of the episode, instead of before the title card. However, an extended version of the theme is played instead.
* This is one of the few episodes storyboarded by the original executive director and this series's creative supervisor [[Kunihiko Yuyama]].
** A character resembling Yuyama makes a cameo near the end of the episode, battling {{Ash}} with a {{p|Lapras}}, Yuyama's favorite Pokémon.
* [[Shinji Miyazaki]]'s music from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is reused as background music in this episode.
* This episode marks the only physical appearance of [[Giovanni's Persian]] in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
** This episode also marks the only appearance of the recurring {{an|Jigglypuff}} in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''.
* This is the first time both members of the [[tower duo]] appear together in a main series episode.
* This is the first time Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} have seen Ho-Oh in the main series since ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', 769 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the final physical appearance of [[Goh]], {{an|Giovanni}}, [[Chloe]], [[Professor Cerise]], [[Chrysa]], [[Ren]], [[Talia]], [[Parker]], {{an|Leon}}, [[Camille]], [[Walker]], [[Horace]], [[Bea]], [[Danika]], [[Quillon]], and [[Hop]].
* As of this episode, {{an|May}} is the only one of Ash’s female friends whom [[Goh]] hasn’t met.
** Also as for this episode, {{an|Cilan}} is the only one of the Gym Leaders Ash travelled whom [[Goh]] hasn't met.
* This is the first physical appearance of [[Ash's Butterfree]] and the [[Pink Butterfree]] in the main series since [[EP021|the episode]] the former was {{pkmn2|released}} in, exactly 1,200 episodes earlier.
** With the Pink Butterfree, this marks the longest gap between a Pokémon's first and second physical appearance in the main series up to this point.
** With Ash's Butterfree, this is the longest time between physical appearances of a main character's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, surpassing [[Ash's Kingler]]'s absence in the main series of 792 episodes between ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.
* This is the first episode where the Pink Butterfree is seen with her [[gender difference]], officially confirming her gender in the main series to be female. She was previously seen with her female gender difference in ''I Choose You!''.
* This is the first episode where a main character catches a Pokémon onscreen with the Pokémon itself not being revealed.
* This is the first episode since ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'' (and as such, the first time outside of the [[original series]]) where a pan-out was displayed with the "To Be Continued" message following it.
** This is also the first episode since ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'' where the "To Be Continued" text is kept in the English dub.
* The English dub title shares its name with a {{wp|This Could Be the Start of Something Big|song}} by Steve Allen.
* This is the last episode of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Errors===
* The English dub subtitles don't include Ash and Goh's greeting of "Hey!" when they reunite with Chloe.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, the theme song is played at the beginning of the episode, instead of at the end, as in the original version.
* The credits are shortened in the English dub, removing the scenes at Professor Cerise's Laboratory as well as the scene with Danika and Quillon.

==Plot==
[[File:Tower duo anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash and Goh encountering Ho-Oh]]
Continuing from where the [[JN135|last episode]] left off, {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] start their {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}} against {{p|Lugia}}, with Ash using {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Lucario}}, while Goh uses {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}}, and {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}. However, while they manage to land many hits, Lugia hardly even flinches from them. Deciding on a combination attack, Goh has Cinderace use {{m|Pyro Ball}}, which is combined with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Inteleon's {{m|Mud Shot}}, and then gets sent flying by Grookey's {{m|Wood Hammer}}. The combo move makes contact, but even as Goh hurls a {{i|Poké Ball}} at Lugia, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] shrugs off the hit and counters with {{m|Aeroblast}}, which not only obliterates the Poké Ball but also breaks off the cliff Ash and Goh were standing on. They hastily [[recall]] their Pokémon, but are caught mid-fall as they fall on Lugia's back. Lugia starts flying around while showing Ash and Goh the multiple different kinds of Pokémon that inhabit the [[Pokémon world]]. Seeing first-hand how vast the world is, Goh starts feeling uncertain about his decision to travel alone, because it would mean he'd no longer have Ash's support on his {{pkmn|journey}}. In response, Ash reminds Goh how he was able to join [[Project Mew]] and meet {{an|Mew}} through his own efforts. The two suddenly hear Lugia {{pkmn2|Talking|speaking}} to them telepathically as it rises higher and flies into a thick cloud. A shimmering light comes into their view in the middle of the cloud, and they're amazed to see {{an|Ho-Oh}} flying by and disappearing into the distance as they exit the cloud. This encounter reaffirms both Ash and Goh's decisions to travel the vast world of Pokémon on a never-ending path to learn and meet more of them.

After reuniting with [[Chloe]], Ash and Goh return to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where [[Professor Cerise]], [[Chrysa]], and [[Ren]] approve their decision and thank them for the help they've provided in their Pokémon research. Ash and Goh are worried if the laboratory will be fine with its [[Professors' aides|research fellows]] gone, but Professor Cerise is unworried, and Chloe enters the conversation to reveal that she's going to be a new research fellow during weekends when she doesn't have to go to [[Vermilion City school|school]]. She also assures that the lab staff will take good care of [[List of Goh's Pokémon|Goh's Pokémon]] while he's away and asks when the two intend to leave, being surprised when they respond they plan to depart the next day. Meanwhile, at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, the [[Team Rocket trio]] is reporting to {{an|Giovanni}} that observing the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] has allowed them to pinpoint the strongest Pokémon in the world, which they claim to be within their grasp. Giovanni gives them the go-ahead to capture this Pokémon, and the trio leaves Giovanni's office, ecstatic that they've got their boss's support for their plan to capture Pikachu.
[[File:JN136 surprise party.png|thumb|250px|The surprise party at Cerise Park]]
That evening, once they're done cleaning up their room, Ash and Goh head to Cerise Park to feed their Pokémon one more time. Upon entering, though, they're surprised to find not just Chloe and the lab staff, but also {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Delia}}, and Goh and Chloe's families, who had decided to organize a surprise party to commemorate their departure. All of Ash and Goh's Pokémon join the celebration, with even {{TP|Goh|Suicune}} paying the park a visit to observe the party from afar. The next day, Ash and Goh leave their room at the Cerise Lab for the final time and set off, bidding farewell to Chloe and the lab staff. While they traverse through [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu is suddenly snatched by Team Rocket, who recite their {{motto}} and declare that they'll never give up on their attempts to steal Pikachu. They seal Pikachu in an insulated capsule, but {{TP|James|Morpeko}}, in one of its usual fits of hunger, momentarily mistakes the capsule for a [[Berry]] and bites down on it, breaking it and allowing Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, exploding [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] and sending the trio blasting off once again while he falls safely back into Ash's arms.

Leaving Vermilion City behind, Ash asks Goh what he plans to do next. He says he intends to tour [[Kanto]] first, since it still has many places he hasn't visited yet. Ash, meanwhile, has no set destination, going wherever the road leads him to. After passing through a crossroads together, they eventually come across another one, where they finally decide to take different paths. Goh thanks Ash for the support he's given to him, and the boys share a fist bump before parting ways. After a few moments of walking alone, Goh hesitantly stops, but Ash suddenly appears on a ledge above him, telling him to realize his goal of befriending Mew. Goh smiles and tells Ash to go achieve his dream of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. His confidence reinvigorated, Goh starts running along the road, as does Ash on his own path. He tells Pikachu that this day, filled with sunlight and Pokémon, reminds him of [[EP001|the day they first set off]] from [[Pallet Town]]. Full of excitement, Ash jumps up high, looking forward to what experiences the world of Pokémon has in store for him.
[[File:JN136 group photo.png|thumb|left|250px|The group photo]]
The life continues on: at the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise and his assistants continue taking care of the Pokémon at Cerise Park, while Chloe begins her career as a research fellow by venturing out into the world; in Pallet Town, {{Gary}} introduces [[Horace]] to his grandfather; in [[Galar]], ex-Monarch {{an|Leon}} observes as his little brother [[Hop]] {{pkmn|training|trains}} with [[Bea]] in the [[Wild Area]]; in an Arctic area, [[Quillon]] and [[Danika]] continue their work of helping out Pokémon in need; in [[Cerulean City]], Goh's journey leads him to meeting {{an|Misty}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]]; at a beach, Ash's journey leads to him reuniting with his old friend {{AP|Butterfree}} and [[Pink Butterfree|his mate]]; and, at the [[Player's house|Ketchum household]], Delia and [[Mimey]] continue taking care of the house, with a group photo taken during the party standing on top of a fireplace.

Eventually, in an unnamed city, Chloe and {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, traveling the world as part of their role as research fellows, spot a {{p|Beautifly}}, which flies past them to the other side of a river, where Goh has just {{pkmn2|caught}} himself a new Pokémon. Further away, Ash is battling a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Lapras}} with his Lucario, while the ever-persistent Team Rocket trio observes him from above. Though separated, all three young Trainers continue their own unique adventures in the endless world of Pokémon.

* Similar to the [[JN001|first episode of this series]], this episode's [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] is played near the end of the episode, instead of before the title card. However, an extended version of the theme is played instead.
* This is one of the few episodes storyboarded by the original executive director and this series's creative supervisor [[Kunihiko Yuyama]].
** A character resembling Yuyama makes a cameo near the end of the episode, battling {{Ash}} with a {{p|Lapras}}, Yuyama's favorite Pokémon.
* [[Shinji Miyazaki]]'s music from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is reused as background music in this episode.
* This episode marks the only physical appearance of [[Giovanni's Persian]] in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
** This episode also marks the only appearance of the recurring {{an|Jigglypuff}} in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''.
* This is the first time both members of the [[tower duo]] appear together in a main series episode.
* This is the first time Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} have seen Ho-Oh in the main series since ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', 769 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the final physical appearance of [[Goh]], {{an|Giovanni}}, [[Chloe]], [[Professor Cerise]], [[Chrysa]], [[Ren]], [[Talia]], [[Parker]], {{an|Leon}}, [[Camille]], [[Walker]], [[Horace]], [[Bea]], [[Danika]], [[Quillon]], and [[Hop]].
* As of this episode, {{an|May}} is the only one of Ash’s female friends whom [[Goh]] hasn’t met.
** Also, {{an|Cilan}} is the only one of the Gym Leaders Ash travelled whom [[Goh]] hasn't met.
* This is the first physical appearance of [[Ash's Butterfree]] and the [[Pink Butterfree]] in the main series since [[EP021|the episode]] the former was {{pkmn2|released}} in, exactly 1,200 episodes earlier.
** With the Pink Butterfree, this marks the longest gap between a Pokémon's first and second physical appearance in the main series up to this point.
** With Ash's Butterfree, this is the longest time between physical appearances of a main character's Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}, surpassing [[Ash's Kingler]]'s absence in the main series of 792 episodes between ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''.
* This is the first episode where the Pink Butterfree is seen with her [[gender difference]], officially confirming her gender in the main series to be female. She was previously seen with her female gender difference in ''I Choose You!''.
* This is the first episode where a main character catches a Pokémon onscreen with the Pokémon itself not being revealed.
* This is the first episode since ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]'' (and as such, the first time outside of the [[original series]]) where a pan-out was displayed with the "To Be Continued" message following it.
** This is also the first episode since ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'' where the "To Be Continued" text is kept in the English dub.
* The English dub title shares its name with a {{wp|This Could Be the Start of Something Big|song}} by Steve Allen.
* This is the last episode of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Errors===
* The English dub subtitles don't include Ash and Goh's greeting of "Hey!" when they reunite with Chloe.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, the theme song is played at the beginning of the episode, instead of at the end, as in the original version.
* The credits are shortened in the English dub, removing the scenes at Professor Cerise's Laboratory as well as the scene with Danika and Quillon.

'''Nurse Joy''' (Japanese: '''ジョーイ''' ''Joy'', referred to as '''ジョーイさん''' ''Joy-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#San|san}}'' by most characters) are kind nurses who take care of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[DP028|Drifloon in the Wind!]]'', Joy is not the first name of these women, but actually the family name. They are based on the in-game [[Pokémon Center Nurse]]s.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|220px|Nurse Joy before ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, Pewter City's Nurse Joy called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

Vermilion City's Nurse Joy and Chansey were often busy thanks to [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]. She stopped Ash and Misty from fighting, reminding them that the hospital required peace. Following Ash's Gym defeat in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Nurse Joy offered Ash her [[Thunder Stone]] to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, but Ash accepted Pikachu's refusal to do so. Nurse Joy then advised Ash that Pikachu would require more rest to regain its stamina for its upcoming rematch.

In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash went to Nurse Joy to heal Pikachu after he developed a cold. This Nurse Joy was uncharacteristically ill-tempered, but nevertheless, she instructed Ash to leave Pikachu with her overnight. Meanwhile, a horde of {{p|Grimer}} stopped the local hydroelectric plant from working. The power outage cut off power to all of the Pokémon Center's machines, which threatened all of the ill and injured Pokémon. After Ash caught {{AP|Muk}}, [[Gringey City]]'s power was restored. Afterwards, Nurse Joy thanked Ash for his assistance, which helped inspire her to become a better nurse.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Nurse Joy was supposed to deliver medicine for injured Pokémon over in [[Sunnytown]], but was unable to leave the Pokémon Center because of other commitments. She gave Ash and his friends the medicine as they volunteered to deliver it to Sunnytown. After dealing with a bike gang, the group successfully arrived in Sunnytown. The Nurse Joy there fed it to a {{p|Shellder}}, and it became well.

A Nurse Joy working for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] arrived in [[Dark City]] to authenticate the currently unofficial Yas and Kaz Gyms in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. She ultimately determined that neither Gym was worthy of being an official Gym because they were using Pokémon as gang tools. As a result, the two rival Gyms agreed to stop their street fighting and work together to reconstruct Dark City.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] when its bulb was glowing. She revealed to Ash that Bulbasaur was about to evolve due to the planet alignment and lunar cycle, though it refused, much to the disappointment of the other now-evolved {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a Nurse Joy with dreams of entering the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] took the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]]. She explained to Ash and his friends that she opted for taking the test because her work keeps her from traveling and gathering the required [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. She was one of the top-scoring applicants in the theoretical portions of the exam, but was later told by [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] that she would have to take the test again after a disturbance caused by Team Rocket.

[[Old Shore Wharf]]'s Nurse Joy was kidnapped and hypnotized by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Her medical expertise and Pokémon knowledge was pivotal to the success of Mewtwo's [[cloning]] operation on [[New Island]]. Nurse Joy was featured on the hologram {{pkmn|Trainer}} invitations. Throughout the movie she was dressed in a frilled long-sleeved dress with a hat, which obscured her iconic Nurse Joy appearance. She formally greeted the Trainers to New Island, and after Mewtwo released her from its possession, she was formally revealed to be the same missing Nurse Joy from Old Shore Wharf. She watched on in horror as the Pokémon and their clones fought on. After the resolution, like all other characters and their respective Pokémon, she had her memory wiped and was returned to Old Shore Wharf. Ash and his friends saw her again at her Pokémon Center at Old Shore Wharf, where she was helping other Trainers while they sought refuge from a strong storm. This Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where she played the same role.

Several Nurse Joys from all across [[Kanto]] were present at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to help heal all of the Pokémon League competitors' Pokémon. In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', a Nurse Joy reminded Ash that losing against a friend like [[Ritchie]] meant he could support him.

======Orange Archipelago======
[[File:Nurse Joy EP092.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'']]
Ash and his friends found a Pokémon Center on [[Valencia Island]] in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. There, Nurse Joy directed them to [[Professor Ivy]]'s laboratory and stated that she was the second cousin of the sister-in-law of [[Saffron City]]'s Nurse Joy.

In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash took a sick {{AP|Lapras}} to Nurse Joy on [[Tangelo Island]]. She concluded that Lapras needed rest and had become afraid of human contact since the incident with the [[three punks]]. She filled in Ash about the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] on the Orange Archipelago.

A Nurse Joy led an excavation crew on [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A {{OBP|reporter|EP089}} interviewed Nurse Joy about the {{p|Kabuto}} inhabiting there. She later led them to the fossils within a cave in the island, even though [[Umberto]] warned them about not disturbing the fossils. When the island was about to get swallowed up by the tide, she boarded a raft that the crew had made and safely rafted away on it.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a tan and muscular Nurse Joy Ash and his friends met on an {{OBP|unnamed island|EP092}} went from island to island to help sick and injured Pokémon. She invited them to her local clinic for lunch. The group volunteered to help out Nurse Joy on taking care of the sick Pokémon. Later, while Joy was attempting to help baby {{p|Seel}}, Team Rocket arrived and trapped the group in a net. It wasn't until a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gyarados}} removed the net that Joy got a chance to finally take care of the baby Seel.

In ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', [[Murcott Island]]'s Nurse Joy and Chansey worked on {{Tracey}}'s newly caught {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}. Joy concluded that it had lost its swarm leadership position from battling a younger {{p|Scyther}}, thus forcing it into exile. She carefully took Scyther's bandages off before it responded to its swarm's cries from Team Rocket attempting to capture it. The battle against Team Rocket restored respect between Tracey's Scyther and the others.

On [[Butwal Island]], Nurse Joy is responsible for managing the weekly airdropped supplies from Valencia Island in addition to her duties at the local Pokémon Center, as revealed in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight]]''. She also repaired Ash's broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, allowing him to return his {{AP|Snorlax}}.

======Johto======
In ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Nurse Joy had to deal with a Blissey that was accident prone.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Nurse Joy with the Pokémon Psychology degree had a therapy session with {{Ash}} when {{AP|Chikorita}} became jealous of his Pikachu.

A Nurse Joy who appeared in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' was in charge of a Pokémon Center that specialized in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, despite being afraid of them herself.

In [[EP250]], Nurse Joy ran a Pokémon Center in the [[Ice Path|Ice Cave]]. She had some {{type|Ice}} Pokémon there instead of a Chansey. The Nurse Joy from the Orange Island was seen in a photograph in that episode, and was said to be the elder sister of the nurse in charge of the Pokémon Center in the Ice Cave.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', upon returning to [[Viridian City]], it was revealed that the local Nurse Joy had since repaired Misty's bicycle after it was [[EP001|stolen and destroyed]] by Ash. Misty was thrilled to have her bike finally returned to her, though she was also saddened because this meant she was officially splitting up with Ash and Brock because of her acquired responsibilities at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
======Hoenn======
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced to [[Oldale Town]]'s Nurse Joy and learned about the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy allowed [[Professor Alden]] to use one the Center's rooms as an office for his ongoing research. Nurse Joy, May, and Ash were later locked in a storage room by [[Team Magma]] but escaped through the vents.

Nurse Joy first appeared as one of the [[Contest Judge]]s during the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. The local Nurse Joy fulfill these roles across other [[Hoenn]] Contest events, as well as those in [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]]. Three Nurse Joys as opposed to one joined [[Raoul Contesta]] and [[Mr. Sukizo]] to help judge the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', the Nurse Joy of [[Slateport City]] was in charge of handing out the Hoenn starter Pokémon to new Trainers like {{OBP|Stephanie|AG034}} and [[Stephanie's father|her father]]. She healed a wild {{p|Wailord}} while Ash and Max watched over the three starter Pokémon. Unfortunately, the {{p|Torchic}} evolved, leaving only {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Treecko}} for the new Trainers. As a result, Nurse Joy decided to keep the newly evolved {{p|Combusken}} to help guard the Pokémon Center.

In ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'', the Nurse Joy of [[Mauville City]] was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Shiftry}} after a {{p|Nuzleaf}} in its group fell ill. Despite Ash and his friends arriving to rescue her, she decided to adhere to her duties as a nurse and refused to leave. With Brock's help, Nurse Joy healed Nuzleaf, allowing Shiftry and the other {{type|Grass}} Pokémon to return her to her Center.

The Nurse Joy of [[Petalburg City]] was revealed to also be a pyrotechnic expert. As a result, in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', she secretly helped [[Norman]] arrange a {{p|Beautifly}}-shaped fireworks display to celebrate his anniversary with [[Caroline]]. However, their secret meetings were discovered by Caroline and Norman's assistant {{ho|Kenny}}, and initially mistaken as signs of Norman having an affair with Nurse Joy. Eventually, the true purpose of Norman and Nurse Joy's meetings were revealed when {{TRT}} accidentally sabotaged the machine meant to fire the fireworks.

In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', a Nurse Joy was possessed by a {{p|Lunatone}} in [[Volley Town]]. Unlike the other Nurse Joys, she didn't allow Ash and his friends to stay in a room for the night. Later, Nurse Joy went back to normal when Lunatone collapsed after using {{m|Psychic}}. Since Lunatone's condition became bad, Nurse Joy, with the help of the group, took Lunatone to {{DL|Volley Town|Camerupt Point}}.

In ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'', a Nurse Joy ran her Pokémon Center on the snowy part of [[Izabe Island]]. A {{AP|Snorunt}} would come by that particular Pokémon Center and take things from visitors. When Ash was in a snow cave, Nurse Joy and the others came by to pick him up. However, before Ash could reunite with Nurse Joy and the others, Team Rocket interrupted them by catching Pikachu and Snorunt. Snorunt was able to escape and Nurse Joy thought of a plan to get Pikachu back which involved Ash throwing Snorunt at Team Rocket's balloon.

======Kanto Battle Frontier======
[[Potpourri Island]]'s Nurse Joy runs the Pokémon Orienteering Festival seen in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''. Ash and his friends, along with Team Rocket, all competed in a chance to win the Teamwork Medal and a supply of Potpourri Island fruit. Nurse Joy eventually declared [[James]] the winner and later alerted May to the nearby [[Wisteria Town]] Contest.

In ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Scott introduced Ash and his friends to [[Fennel Valley]]'s Nurse Joy, who was a big fan of battles and Pokémon Contests. Nurse Joy, a former Pokémon Trainer, offered Ash a practice battle to prepare him against [[Brandon]], which he accepts. Her Chansey battled {{AP|Corphish}} and won with a close-range {{m|Solar Beam}}. This Nurse Joy appeared from ''Overjoyed!'' to ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the surname of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', a Nurse Joy acted as one of the judges of the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], overseeing the competition along with [[Mr. Sukizo]] and [[Officer Jenny]].

While attempting to seek a Nurse Joy to investigate Brock's glowing {{pkmn|Egg}} in ''[[DP038|One BIg Happiny Family!]]'', the group found a seemingly abandoned Pokémon Center. A Chansey directed the group to a crying Nurse Joy, who revealed that the Cycling Road has stopped servicing customers. With encouragement from Brock and Chansey, she regained her composure and examined the Egg before it hatched into {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Following Nurse Joy's advice, Brock located a round stone for Happiny to carry in her pouch in order to keep her happy.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Dawn's Piplup]] and realized it was about to evolve. However, since Piplup refused to evolve and had been using {{m|Bide}} to stop it from happening, Nurse Joy gave {{an|Dawn}} an [[Everstone]].

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', the Nurse Joy who runs the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Center was busy taking care of too many Pokémon. For this reason, she would not be able to attend the town's Pokémon Contest and so [[Johanna]] agreed to fill in for her.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', three Nurse Joys judged the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]: the Nurse Joy from [[Jubilife City]] judged the Red Stage along with [[Top Coordinator]] [[Fantina]], the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]] judged the Green Stage along with [[Mr. Sukizo]], and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]] judged the Blue Stage along with [[Raoul Contesta]]. After the Performance Stage was over, the only Nurse Joy who judged the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] was the one from Lilycove City.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime BW.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
======Unova======
In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Nurse Joy's redesign debuted. {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}, the standard partner of the Nurse Joys of [[Unova]], debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''.

======Decolore Islands======
After foiling another one of Team Rocket's plans in ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', Ash and his friends headed to the [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed. After arriving, Nurse Joy explained that the mountains have many dangerous Pokémon such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Ursaring}} and noted that it would have been safer to go through the coastline route. After which, Audino informed them that the honey and dessert were ready. Nurse Joy then invited them in and began serving them desserts.

In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a rather elderly Nurse Joy first appeared overhearing the group's conversation on the mysterious shadow they just saw. Later, she appeared protecting the group from a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Heatmor}} and disappeared along with the Heatmor and the {{a|Illusion|mysterious fog}}. After successfully reaching a rather desolate Pokémon Center and curing [[Iris's Axew]]'s [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]], the group encountered her again where she revealed herself to be an older Nurse Joy tasked with the special duty of investigating established Pokémon Centers. She explained that she had been receiving reports of a Pokémon Center operating illegally on the island, which is why she was deployed to investigate. When {{p|Zoroark}} created an illusion of the past and explained the reasons behind illegally keeping the Pokémon Center open all this time, a moved Nurse Joy agreed to keep the Center running for the wild Pokémon and asks for Zoroark's assistance in doing so, to which it happily agrees. Later, she and the Illusion Fox Pokémon bid farewell to the group as they set off on their new adventure.

A Nurse Joy living on [[Torom Island]] appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. She explained that the {{p|Rotom}} on the island find the local power plant's electricity delicious, so the lights were always flickering on and off. In addition, the island's {{p|Rotom}} used to play pranks on the people of the island, so the locals created a playground of electrical devices where the Rotom could play without bothering anyone. {{an|Professor Oak}} then decided to go with Ash and his friends to this electrical playground, where they hoped to see a Rotom.

In ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', Nurse Joy first appeared with her Audino, greeting Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} upon their arrival in the Pokémon Center. Next morning, as Ash looked for help after seeing Iris, Axew and Cilan's faces turned odd, she revealed her face to have turned odd as well, much to his horror. She is then seen gathering the townspeople along with Audino and [[Officer Jenny]] to listen to what {{p|Beheeyem}} has to say.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]]'', Nurse Joy participated in [[Alexa]]'s recording. She explained how the latest equipment functioned at twice the normal speed and allowed her to repair any equipment or medicine she might need for a Pokémon's treatment. She was then seen carrying Ash and {{ashfr}}' Poké Balls for a thorough inspection of their Pokémon.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
She received another redesign at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Nurse Joy starred in a [[Pokévision]] video with her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} where they made it to the top 10.

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', Nurse Joy dealt with a clumsy Wigglytuff. As a result of a {{p|Salamence}} going on a rampage, she had to deal with many injured Pokémon, including a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s {{p|Teddiursa}}. Nurse Joy told a tale to the group about how Wigglytuff became her helpers in the [[Kalos]] region. Team Rocket came by and stole Pikachu and Wigglytuff. They accidentally wake up the same Salamence from before. Nurse Joy and the group came by to retrieve Pikachu and Wigglytuff. Nurse Joy attempted to calm Salamence but it attacked with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Wigglytuff {{m|protect}}ed her from Salamence's attack, retelling the tale that another Wigglytuff did with the {{p|Flygon}}. Wigglytuff was able to calm Salamence and Salamence managed to defeat Team Rocket with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', Nurse Joy searched for a Mega Stone for her Audino. While doing so, her leg became stuck in a fissure. She was unable to get out until Ash and his friends found her stuck there. Using {{an|Clemont}}'s [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], the group was able to get Nurse Joy out of the fissure. As a reward, she took the group to the Pokémon Center she worked in. Inside, an Audino she was working with did not get along with her as she left without telling it where she was going. When a Trainer was rushing in with an injured {{p|Makuhita}}, both Nurse Joy and Audino put aside their differences and treated the Makuhita right away, only to go back to fighting again. Nurse Joy revealed that their fighting occurred ever since the [[Head Nurse]] put Audino with her. Outside, Team Rocket broke in the Pokémon Center and stole all the Poké Balls. Nurse Joy took on Team Rocket with Audino by Mega Evolving it. After using Mega Audino's {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Ash was able to defeat Team Rocket with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As a result, Nurse Joy and Audino both got along with each other.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime SM.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
Nurse Joy received another redesign for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. In the [[Alola]] region, her assistants are {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}}. Each island of Alola has its own Nurse Joy, with the four of them being sisters.

[[Melemele Island]]'s Nurse Joy, who runs the {{rt|1|Alola}} [[Pokémon Center]], debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', in which she met {{Ash}} for the first time and treated his {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Nurse Joy from [[Akala Island]] first appeared in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she was seen working in her Pokémon Center in [[Paniola Town]].

In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', Ash and {{ashcl}} were on work experience at the Melemele Island Pokémon Center when local Nurse Joy became ill. Ash and his classmates volunteered to substitute for her, and the Nurse Joy from Akala Island later appeared to assist the group in the treatment of [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Garbodor}}. At the end of the episode, the Nurse Joy from Melemele Island had recovered from her cold.

Melemele Island's Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', where she received help from {{an|Brock}} who was visiting the Alola Region. The [[SM103|next episode]] revealed that as a thank you for helping her, Nurse Joy had given Brock one of her {{TP|Brock|Comfey}}.

[[Poni Island]]'s Nurse Joy appeared from ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'' to ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. Ash and his classmates stayed with her at the [[Seafolk Village]] Pokémon Center while they completed their school projects.

[[Ula'ula Island]]'s Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]''.

All four Nurse Joy sisters appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', where they were on standby during the [[Manalo Conference]].

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', the same Nurse Joy who gave Ash the Thunder Stone gave Ash an Egg that eventually hatched into a {{AP|Riolu}}.

In ''[[JN022|Goodbye, Friend!]]'', [[Littleroot Town]]'s Nurse Joy gave Ash and Goh an advice on how to locate migrating {{p|Beautifly}}.

A Galarian Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]''. Unlike her other regional designs, she doesn't wear any pink; rather, she wears a gray-and-white uniforms. It was also revealed that Galar's Nurse Joy employ {{p|Indeedee}} as their assistants. In the episode, [[Wyndon]]'s Nurse Joy healed {{Ash}}'s {{rf|Galarian}} {{AP|Farfetch'd}}. She reappeared in [[JN028|the next episode]].

In [[JN144]], a Nurse Joy lost her favorite {{m|Substitute}} [[Pokémon doll|doll]] during a moving trip a long time ago when she was a little girl. Many years later, the doll worn out and had been reborn as a living {{p|Banette}}. Banette began to look for Nurse Joy while stealing heart-shaped stuff that was given to it when it was still an inanimate doll. However, with some help from Ash and his friends, Nurse Joy and Banette were happily reunited.

=====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Nurse Joy and Liko.png|250px|thumb|Nurse Joy and Liko]]
A Kantonian Nurse Joy appeared in [[HZ003]]. In this episode, [[Liko]] was tasked with getting some medicine for the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and asked the local Nurse Joy, shortly after, the nurse helped a Trainer who had an injured {{p|Vulpix}}.

====Character====
Nurse Joy is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Joys who work as nurses across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. As a rule, Nurse Joys are kind, earnest, honest Pokémon nurses who take care of sick and injured Pokémon, but will confront a [[Pokémon Trainer]] if they are not properly caring for their Pokémon.

Nurse Joys are all extremely similar-looking relatives. They are not entirely identical, though aside from themselves, it seems that {{an|Brock}} is the only one who can tell them apart. However, each Nurse Joy will have a different color cross on her hat that indicates which location she works at. The trait of a family made up of nearly identical members is also shared by [[Officer Jenny]], [[Don George]], and [[Porter]].

[[File:Marnie and Paige.png|thumb|left|220px|Two young Joys named [[Marnie and Paige]]]]
There are several notable Nurse Joys who appear vastly different from the others. A Nurse Joy acts as the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', her first appearance as anything but an ordinary Nurse Joy. Another Nurse Joy living in the [[Orange Archipelago]] has made her career instead as an archaeologist, leading an expedition to [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A muscle-bound, kayak-paddling Nurse Joy who also lives in the archipelago was featured, along with her befriended {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}, in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Other Nurse Joys living on the islands have a noticeably darker skin tone than their mainland counterparts, likely due to living in a more tropical region. In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a Nurse Joy appears as a Pokémon Center investigator, tasked with the investigation of illegally operating Pokémon Centers. Not unlike the Pokémon League inspector Nurse Joy, her first appearance did not allude to her true identity, and she was visibly older when she finally revealed herself.

Although there are many exceptions, Nurse Joy will generally have {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} in [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} in [[Kalos]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} in [[Alola]], and {{p|Indeedee}} in [[Galar]] to assist her.

Nurse Joys give out [[starter Pokémon]] to beginning Trainers in towns or cities without [[Pokémon Professor]]s, such as [[Slateport City]]. Adhering to their role as government workers, they may also work as inspectors for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], grading Pokémon Gyms. Nurse Joys living in locations with [[Contest Hall]]s will also be a part of the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] for [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]] tournaments. When reviewing a Pokémon's [[Appeal|performance]] or [[Contest Battle|battle]], Nurse Joys will often comment on the Pokémon's health and sync with the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. Unlike fellow judges [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] and [[Mr. Sukizo]], who only judge competitions sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], Nurse Joy has been seen judging informal Pokémon Contests in ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'' and ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]''.

===I Choose You!, The Power of Us, and Secrets of the Jungle===
[[File:Nurse Joy M20.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Three Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series.

One of them was seen operating a [[Pokémon Center]] in a forest, where she healed [[Verity]]'s Pokémon. She then warned Verity about {{TRT}}, who were wanted for stealing Pokémon. Shortly after, a Trainer came running in the Pokémon Center with his injured {{p|Vaporeon}}, who the Trainer claimed was defeated by an {{p|Entei}}. Nurse Joy proceeded to take care of Vaporeon, but was shocked when she saw all of the Trainers in the Pokémon Center leaving to chase after Entei.

Another Nurse Joy was seen operating a Pokémon Center in an unnamed town. She healed [[Ash's Charmeleon]] after it got badly injured in a battle with [[Cross]].

A third Nurse Joy operated a Pokémon Center near a lake, close to the [[Mt. Tensei|Raizen Mountains]]. She healed {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20}} after he had battled with {{an|Ho-Oh}}.

A Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where she was seen working in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Fula City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Nurse Joy photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo of the Nurse Joys from Kalos]]
* Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|Voiced palato-alveolar affricate|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Every Nurse Joy in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] can be easily told apart by the color of the cross on their hat, while Nurse Joys in [[Kalos]] are told apart by the color of the badge on their lapel. Colors can repeat in different regions, however.
* Nurse Joy is the third character in the English dub to have her original voice actress reprise her role following [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|the voice actor switch]], after {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Raoul Contesta]].
** Both of Nurse Joy's voice actresses during the [[4Kids Entertainment]] [[dub]], [[Megan Hollingshead]] and [[Bella Hudson]], have reprised their roles at one point since [[The Pokémon Company International]] took over the dubbing of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Nurse Joy is the only female character with this distinction, and the only one who wasn’t voiced by [[Craig Blair]] prior to regaining her original voice actress.
* Nurse Joy was the first character from a previous series to appear in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is the [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and serves as the president of the academy's student council.

==In the core series games==
Nemona is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Pokémon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for the player. She has an energetic personality, and loves Pokémon battles, which she excels at. However, she's not as good at throwing [[Poké Ball]]s.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/nemona/ Nemona — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She, along with the player, is enrolled in the {{wp|general studies|general studies}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Jacq]].

Nemona also participates in the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], although she has to manage the admin work when it is held for the first time, she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.

===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====
Nemona uses the {{pkmn2|starter}} with a [[type]] disadvantage to the one the player chooses. As shown in the game's opening cutscene, she also owns a Combat Breed {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}, but she is never seen using it elsewhere. She is also implied to have more Pokémon that are unseen by the player, as she became a Champion prior to her first battle with the player and repeatedly mentions needing to select a perfect team for her battles, and the official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet claims that Nemona uses {{p|Lechonk}} and {{p|Smoliv}}, even though she is never seen using either of these Pokémon.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/lechonk/ Lechonk — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/smoliv/ Smoliv — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

'''Alcremie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マホイップ''' ''Mawhip'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Milcery}} while holding a [[Sweet]] when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose. The {{form|Alcremie|form}} it takes upon evolving depends on the {{DL|Time|Time-based evolutions|time}} of day, the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. Its appearance is further determined by the type of Sweet that is held.


Milcery evolves into:
* '''Vanilla Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Ruby Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Matcha Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Mint Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Lemon Cream''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Salted Cream''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
* '''Ruby Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Caramel Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
* '''Rainbow Swirl''' Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 10 seconds during the evening (between 7 and 7:59 PM in real-time in {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}).

Alcremie has a [[Gigantamax]] form which is the same regardless of Alcremie's form.

==Biology==
Alcremie is a vaguely anthropomorphic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a body made of whipped cream. Its head resembles several clumps of whipped cream styled like hair, with a large crowning blob flanked by two loop-like "bangs." Each of these bangs is topped with the [[Sweet]] Alcremie was given to hold as a Milcery when evolving. Alcremie's lower body is similarly composed of two dollops of whipped cream resembling a robe or a dress. It has two stout arms with three fingers each extending between the dollops of its body.

Alcremie's flavor and color are wildly variable and dependent on the time of day, direction, and duration for which it was swirled while it was a Milcery. An Alcremie's flavor affects the color of its body, which can be any of several pastel shades. Its eye color matches the color of its sweet. There are nine known flavors of Alcremie.

When a {{pkmn|Trainer}} gains Alcremie's trust, Alcremie will treat them to {{Berries}} with cream. The content of Alcremie's cream can become richer and sweeter, the happier it feels. Due to the cream it makes being very delicious, many pastry chefs seek to have Alcremie as a partner. If attacked, it will throw a sweet-scented cream to distract or blind the opponent in order to escape. The cream's effect is powerful enough to make an opponent soothed and lose the will to battle if eaten.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/alcremie/ Alcremie | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

In its [[Gigantamax]] form, Alcremie's body resembles a towering, five-tiered cake. The apical tier of the cake resembles Alcremie's regular body, though it's wearing a bow and its whipped-cream "hair" is styled into a flamboyant swoop. Each layer of the cake features a variety of sweets that can be used to evolve Milcery. The bottom tier of its body is frosted yellow and adorned with an alternating row of star sweets and dotted frosting. The second tier is frosted pink and features a magenta bow topped with a clover sweet. The third tier is frosted blue and encircled with a row of flower sweets featuring a berry sweet arch. The fourth tier is frosted pink and encircled with love sweets and three red clouds, with the central sweet being larger than the rest. Lumps of whipped cream surround Gigantamax Alcremie's body between each of its tiers. Gigantamax Aclcremie's cream is said to be endlessly pouring.

When the cream gets hit by a strong impact, the cream hardens depending on the blow. This allows Gigantamax Alcremie to be resistant to most physical attacks. Moreover, the decorations on Alcremie's body are as hard as diamonds. When attacking, Gigantamax Alcremie unleashes missiles made of cream, each one filled with 100,000 kilocalories. Anyone who gets hit by one of these cream missiles will be filled with energy and euphoria, but will become extremely confused and dizzy at the same time.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/alcremie/gigantamax/ Gigantamax Alcremie | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Alcremie has the most different recognized forms of all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with 64. This consists of nine named forms, each with seven variants corresponding to the type of [[Sweet]], plus a Gigantamax form.
** Despite having the most different recognized forms, Alcremie only has nine [[Pokédex]] entries (one for each named form), making it the Pokémon with the second-most [[Pokédex]] entries for a single Pokémon as of [[Generation IX]].
* Prior to the release of {{g|HOME}}, Alcremie was tied with {{p|Minior}} as being under the most [[Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] groupings, with a total of six. The distinction is now held by {{p|Vivillon}}, with nine Pokédex color groupings.

===Origin===
Alcremie appears to be based on whipped cream, or {{wp|eton mess}}, a British dessert made of fruit, meringue, and whipped cream. Its [[Gigantamax]] form may be based on a {{wp|wedding cake}}.

====Name origin====
Alcremie may be a combination of ''{{wp|alchemy}}'' and ''cream'', ''crème'', or ''creamy''.

Mawhip may be a combination of 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic) and ホイップ ''whip'' (whipped cream).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==
Alec returns to the Hisui region to visit his father. There, he recalls events from his childhood when he encountered a wild Pokémon in a snow-covered forest...

==Description==
Across the Hisui region, many grow up believing people and Pokémon cannot live together. But when Alec meets a Hisuian Zorua, he may need to rethink how he views Pokémon!

==Plot==
From either side of a shadowy glade at night, a group of people and Pokémon look over a motionless {{p|Zorua}}. Standing over it, a {{p|Zoroark}} wails and glows with malicious energy.

On a sailing boat headed for the [[Hisui]] region, a young man named [[Alec]] looks at [[Mount Coronet]] on the horizon as an older man nearby complains of feeling seasick. Alec explains that he is visiting his father in [[Jubilife Village]], to which the man offers his apologies, having heard that a violent Pokémon has appeared in the nearby [[Alabaster Forest]]. Alec looks on, deep in thought.

Several years earlier, in the Alabaster Forest, Alec's father shows a wood-carved box to a [[Ginkgo Guild]] merchant, who praises it, and Alec's father explains that he is starting to teach the craft to his son. On cue, a young Alec surprises both of them with a {{rf|Hisuian}} Zoroark mask and after apologising, the father and son leave.

Together, they trek a very long way into the deepest snow-covered woods of Hisui, leaving Alec in awe of the sight as the sun begins to set. However, his attention turns to a mysterious blue glow in the distance and he turns to investigate, but his father stops him in his tracks, explaining that an angry Zoroark lives there. He met it once before and narrowly escaped its attacks after humans had previously mistreated it. When Alec asks how people could do something like that, Alec's father simply walks on, saying that humans and Pokémon should never coexist.

Later, as Alec's father starts chopping down a tree, Alec asks permission to explore nearby. Following a river path towards the blue glow, he ignores his father's advice not to travel too deep into the woods and stumbles upon the light's source: a {{Shiny}} Hisuian Zorua practising casting illusions. Putting his Zoroark mask on, Alec slowly approaches but shocks Zorua once it realizes he is a human. Discovering that Zorua is just as frightened as he is, Alec approaches more confidently, finding Zorua's distressing illusions hilarious. This causes Zorua to attack, sending both of them rolling down the snowy hill, through the trees, and off a cliff. Although the two find the sunset-soaked view incredible, they quickly realize the situation they are in as they hurtle towards the ground.

The '''Pokémon metagame''' has a wide range of '''fanmade terminology''' for various aspects of the games. These are colloquial terms originating from unofficial sources, and are not found within the games themselves. However, some terms originally coined by the fandom have been used officially, such as [[Eeveelution]] and {{Shiny}}; these terms are not listed here.

==Pokémon terms==

A Pokémon found in the first few routes of the game. These can be divided into ones that are based on mammals that are either {{t|Normal}} or {{t|Dark}} types ({{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Patrat}}, {{p|Lillipup}}, {{p|Purrloin}}, {{p|Bunnelby}}, {{p|Yungoos}}, {{p|Skwovet}}, {{p|Nickit}}, and {{p|Wooloo}}), birds that are {{t|Flying}} ({{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pidove}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Pikipek}}, and {{p|Rookidee}}) and {{t|Bug}}s ({{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Venipede}}, {{p|Scatterbug}}, {{p|Grubbin}}, {{p|Cutiefly}}, and {{p|Blipbug}}).

==Fan terms==
===Balltism===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who have a decision on catching Pokémon with a desired [[Poké Ball]].

===Dexit===
A term referring to the controversy surrounding [[Game Freak]]'s announcement that some Pokémon would not be usable in the [[Generation VIII]] games. Derives from [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}} (a debate between {{wp|United Kingdom|UK}} citizens that the UK (which is the basis of Galar, the main region within the generation) will leave the {{wp|European Union}}).

===Genwunner===
A pejorative term used to describe fans who dislike elements of the Pokémon franchise released after [[Generation I]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Generation II]]). A corruption of "Generation One". Originated from the {{wp|Transformers}} fandom's term of "Geewun", where some fans have a similar stance on their franchise. However, fanon terms relating to other generations in the franchise (such as Generations III or IV) are less often used.

==Game terms==
===Boss===
The general concept of a {{wp|Boss (video gaming)|boss}} in video games may refer to special, strong opponents who must be defeated to obtain an important reward or advance past a particular point in the game. In the Pokémon games, there are various figures who may fit this description:
* Core games
** [[Gym Leader]]s: these are characters the player explicitly has to defeat if they wish to reach the Elite Four. Oftentimes, defeating a particular Gym Leader is also required for the player to advance past certain obstacles, especially those that require the use of an [[HM]].
** [[Elite Four]]: the "point" of the [[core series]] games is generally to beat the Elite Four, who will be stronger than any other Trainers the player has faced previously.
** {{pkmn|Champion}}: after beating the Elite Four, the player must also defeat the region's Champion in order to be allowed to enter the [[Hall of Fame]].
** [[Rival]]s: the player will often cross paths with a rival character, and usually they must face off with this character one last time before being able to face the Elite Four.
** [[Villainous team|Team]] leaders: the core games (and many [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-offs]]) include villainous teams who the player will frequently cross paths with. In the course of the game, the player will eventually have to defeat various high-ranking members of these teams and ultimately their leader.
** {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{tc|Subway Boss}}es, {{tc|Boss Trainer}}s, {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s and {{tc|Battle Legend}}s: these are the leaders of certain special [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] presented as an optional challenge once the player has beaten the Champion. Defeating them usually grants the player a [[Trainer Card level|special achievement]].
** [[Legendary Pokémon]]: the player will encounter these later in the game, usually resulting in a boss battle, unless the player has a [[Master Ball]]. Legendary Pokémon are hard to fight because of their generally large base stats. [[Eternatus (Pokémon)|Eternamax Eternatus]] fits the traditional "boss" terminology, as it has the highest base stats out of any Pokémon and is not obtainable in battle.
** [[Totem Pokémon]] are encountered at the end of every trial throughout the [[island challenge]], serving as the boss of each trial.
** [[Max Raid Battle]]s are co-op battles with a [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, similar to a traditional boss battles as they are fought at various intervals throughout the game.
** [[Noble Pokémon]] are encountered during the story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus and need to be quelled through throwing balms (while optional, periodic battling makes this easier). This acts similar to a traditional RPG boss fight.
* Side games
** Pregymleader [[Justy]]: Justy is the leader of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Area Leader}}s and {{tc|Mt BtlMaster}}: these are the heads of different [[Mt. Battle]] areas in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}.
** {{tc|Colosseum Leader}}s, {{tc|Colosseum Master}}s, and the [[Mysterial|Pokétopia Master]]: these are the heads of {{OBP|Colosseum|Pokétopia}}s in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Spin-offs
**The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] has various boss characters at different points in the story:
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Bosses|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Bosses|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Bosses|Gates to Infinity → Bosses}}
*** {{DL|Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Bosses|Super Mystery Dungeon → Bosses}}
**[[Shadow Mewtwo]]: the opponent in the final battle of the storyline of [[Pokkén Tournament]]

===Collection terms===
====Living Pokédex====
{{main|Living Pokédex}}
Having a Pokémon of every species (available in that game) in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at the same time.

====Legitimate====
A Pokémon or item obtained without [[cheating]]. The term legal, in contrast, could be used to mean that a Pokémon was created or altered by a cheating device or save editor, but this exact same Pokémon could technically exist without cheating.

====Untouched====
A Pokémon that is in the same state as it was obtained in. Specifically, it has gained no [[experience]], [[level]]s, {{EV}}s, or [[Ribbon]]s, had none of its [[move]]s changed or reordered, and has not [[Evolution|evolved]], gained [[Pokérus]], or had its pre-existing Pokérus become inactive. Commonly used to refer to [[event Pokémon]] and in-game [[gift Pokémon]].

===Gameplay terms===
====6V====
Refers to a Pokémon with perfect/maximum [[individual values]] in all [[statistic|stats]].

The term "5V" (a Pokémon with perfect/maximum individual values in five stats) is also commonly used due to the {{pkmn|breeding}} effect of [[Destiny Knot]], which was introduced in [[Generation VI]].

====Chaining====
A method used to repeatedly encounter the same Pokémon via a feature such as [[Poké Radar]] and [[DexNav]], which lines up the chance of getting a desired Pokémon. Chaining with the Poke Radar is often tried for the purposes of getting a shiny Pokémon of a specific species.

====Cheating====
{{main|Cheating}}
The use of any device unauthorized by [[The Pokémon Company]] to modify a Pokémon game. Being found to have cheated in any way, or having a Pokémon that was obtained by cheating on another game will result in immediate disqualification from any official tournament, and disqualification from all future official tournaments.

====EV training====
Intentionally battling Pokémon for the {{EV}}s they give out in order to ensure EVs are distributed in a specific way or capped.

====Focus Miss/Stone Miss====
Derogatory terms for {{m|Focus Blast}} and {{m|Stone Edge}}, referring to the [[move]]s' mediocre [[accuracy]].

====Gear Station or Centrico Plaza trick====
Securing the D-pad or analog stick in one direction so that the player continuously walks around the circular {{DL|Battle Subway|Gear Station}} or {{DL|Lumiose City|Prism Tower|Centrico Plaza}}, resulting in an effortless refilling of [[Hidden Grotto]]es, increase in [[friendship]], hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and accumulation of [[Poké Mile]]s.

====Grinding====
{{pkmn|training|Training}} a Pokémon to a certain [[level]] through repetitive battling.

====Hatcher====
A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Flame Body}}, {{a|Magma Armor}}, or {{a|Steam Engine}} such as {{p|Fletchinder}}, {{p|Slugma}}, and {{p|Rolycoly}} in the [[party]], mainly used for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s faster.

====HM mule====
[[File:HM mule Bibarel.png|thumb|right|220px|A Bibarel that knows four field moves]]
A term used within parts of the fandom to refer to a Pokémon in a Trainer's party that is used for navigational support through the use of [[field move]]s—generally those taught by [[HM|Hidden Machines]]. HM mules will typically have three or four move slots occupied with field moves, allowing smooth passage through caves, across oceans, or past other obstacles at the expense of their battling capabilities.

With the retirement of HMs and field moves from [[Generation VII]] onward, HM mules are no longer necessary. In Generation VII, the functions of HMs are replaced by [[Poké Ride]]s{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} and [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}. In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the [[Rotom Bike]]'s Water Mode replaces {{m|Surf}} and the [[Flying Taxi]] replaces {{m|Fly}}. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], various [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|ride Pokémon]] provide similar functions, allowing the player to traverse through [[Hisui]] faster, swim through water, climb steep cliffs, and glide through the air. The [[Arc Phone]]'s map allows players to warp between locations, replacing Fly.

HM mules are often referred to as ''HM slaves''. An equivalent term used within the Japanese fandom is '''{{tt|秘伝要員|ひでんよういん}}''', with {{tt|秘伝|ひでん}} being from {{tt|秘伝マシン|ひでんマシン}} ''Hidden Machine'' followed by {{tt|要員|よういん}} ''personnel''.

====HSOWA====
[[File:HSOWA HGSS.png|thumb|220px|right|A Skitty and a Wailord at the Day Care]]
The fan term HSOWA is an initialism that stands for "Hot Skitty On Wailord Action". It is derived from the fact that {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Wailord}} can {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} in the {{pkmn|games}} despite the massive size difference. It has reached cult status on some message boards. The term originates from GameFAQs.

====IV breeding====
Intentionally [[breeding]] Pokémon to have a specific {{IV}} or set of IVs.

====Masuda method====
{{main|Masuda method}}
The game mechanic that increases the likelihood of [[Shiny Pokémon]] to hatch from {{pkmn|Egg}}s if the parents are from differing real-world geographical locations. Named after [[Junichi Masuda]], who first documented this mechanic in [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=30 his blog].

====Nuzlocke Challenge====
{{main|Nuzlocke Challenge}}
A special challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must follow a set of self-enforced rules to make the game more difficult. Most notably, the player can only catch the first Pokémon they encounter on each route, and must release any Pokémon that faints. Named after the [http://nuzlocke.com/ comic series] of the same name that first proposed the type of playthrough.

====Professor Oak Challenge====
A time-consuming challenge playthrough of a Pokémon game in which the player must fill up the [[Pokédex]] to its limit before taking on each [[Gym Leader]]. This challenge was created by user Chamale on {{wp|Reddit}}, and popularized by {{wp|YouTuber}} 'JohnStone'.

====Repel trick====
{{main|Appendix:Repel trick}}
Using [[Repel]]s and a lead Pokémon of a specific level to restrict [[wild Pokémon]] encounters to a specific Pokémon or group of Pokémon due to the maximum level at which wild Pokémon can appear.

====Shiny-locked====
Referring to a Pokémon obtained in a particular game that is prevented from being {{Shiny}}.

====Spinner trick====
Securing the D-pad or analogue stick in a single direction so that the player continuously walks into a [[spin tile]], resulting in an effortless increase in [[friendship]] and hatching of {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Often called the "Fuego trick" in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} due to [[Fuego Ironworks]] being the optimal location for doing so.

====Synchronizer====
Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} such as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Ralts}} in the first place in the [[party]], mainly used for obtaining Pokémon with the desired [[Nature]].

====Walking Pokémon====
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}
Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle. Also referred to by fans as '''Pokémon following you'''.

===Metagame terms===
{{main|Appendix:Metagame terminology}}

===Technical terms===
====EVs====
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values, often shortened to EVs, are capped permanent stat bonuses gained by defeating Pokémon, using items such as [[vitamin]]s or [[wing]]s, or using services such as those in [[Join Avenue]]. They ensure trained Pokémon are stronger than newly caught Pokémon.

====IVs====
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values, often shortened to IVs, are fixed values that can be inherited from the Pokémon's parents. They ensure Pokémon are genetically different.

====RNG====
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon}}
Refers to the Random Number Generator, or rather the practice of manipulating it through the use of fan-made software, in order to obtain [[Shiny Pokémon]] or Pokémon with specific {{IV}}s—both endeavors which would otherwise leave a lot up to chance.

'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] (or [[fog]] in [[Generation VII]]) in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 when exposed to rain (or fog) in the overworld. It is the final form of Goomy.

==Biology==
Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. Most of its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

Because of its meek, friendly nature, Goodra is often teased for supposed weakness. Goodra is known to be very friendly. When it grows close to someone, it will hug them and leave them coated in slime. If it is left alone, it will ooze gooey tears. Goodra usually misunderstands instructions, appearing dazed or bewildered. Despite this, many Trainers don't mind it, instead finding this behavior to be adorable. However, it will strike at its tormentors with its retractable horns and powerful tail. The horns can hit 100 times harder than the blow of a heavyweight boxer. It is also capable of throwing punches with incredible force. Its slimy coating in combination with a layer of fat causes attacks to slide off.

Hisuian Goodra has droopy, gray eyes and horns that are longer and thinner than Kalosian Goodra's horns. It sports a large, spiral-shaped metallic shell on its back, which it can tuck its body into to protect itself, leaving only its head outside of the shell to observe its surroundings. It can control the hardness of its shell at will. It has fewer grey spots than Kalosian Goodra, with one on each side of its cheek and two on each side of its shell. From its chin and arms drips a metallic grey slime. Hisuian Goodra has a clingy disposition and hates being alone; it will become angry and run riot if its closest companions leave its side.

Hisuian Goodra and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

==Trivia==
* Goodra is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]:
** to have an evolution method requiring more than just leveling up.
** to have a [[signature Ability]], which is exclusively obtained as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.
** to have a [[regional form]].
* Every one of Kalosian Goodra's base stats are exactly double those of {{p|Goomy}}, with Kalosian {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being halfway in between (rounded up).
* Kalosian Goodra shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary lines, along with {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Kalosian Goodra was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/saya_tsuruta/status/1405666612103901188 Saya Tsuruta's Twitter account. Posted on June 18, 2020.]</ref>

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its {{t|Dragon}} type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Hisuian Goodra is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds.

====Name origin====
Goodra is a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a play on ''good'' or ''hydra''.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] (or [[fog]] in [[Generation VII]]) in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 when exposed to rain (or fog) in the overworld. It is the final form of Goomy.

==Biology==
Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. Most of its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

Because of its meek, friendly nature, Goodra is often teased for supposed weakness. Goodra is known to be very friendly. When it grows close to someone, it will hug them and leave them coated in slime. If it is left alone, it will ooze gooey tears. Goodra usually misunderstands instructions, appearing dazed or bewildered. Despite this, many Trainers don't mind it, instead finding this behavior to be adorable. However, it will strike at its tormentors with its retractable horns and powerful tail. The horns can hit 100 times harder than the blow of a heavyweight boxer. It is also capable of throwing punches with incredible force. Its slimy coating in combination with a layer of fat causes attacks to slide off.

Hisuian Goodra has droopy eyes and horns that are longer and thinner than Kalosian Goodra's horns. It sports a giant spiral metallic shell on its back, which it can tuck its body into to protect itself, leaving only its head outside of the shell to peek around. It can control the hardness of its shell at will. It has less teal spots than Kalosian Goodra's; with one on each side of its cheek and two on each side of its shell. From its chin and arms drips a metallic grey slime. Hisuian Goodra has a clingy disposition and hates being alone; it will become angry and run riot if its closest companions were to ever leave its side.

Hisuian Goodra and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

==Trivia==
* Goodra is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]:
** to have an evolution method other than leveling up.
** to have a [[signature Ability]], which is exclusively obtained as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.
** to have a [[regional form]].
* Base stats-wise:
** Both forms of Goodra have the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Kalosian Goodra has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Every one of Kalosian Goodra's base stats are exactly double those of {{p|Goomy}}, with Kalosian {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being halfway in between (rounded up).
** Hisuian Goodra has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Kalosian Goodra is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon of a single [[type]].
* Kalosian Goodra shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary lines, along with {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Kalosian Goodra was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/saya_tsuruta/status/1405666612103901188 Saya Tsuruta's Twitter account. Posted on June 18, 2020.]</ref>

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its {{t|Dragon}} type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Hisuian Goodra is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds.

====Name origin====
Goodra is a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a play on ''good'' or ''hydra''.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] (or [[fog]] in [[Generation VII]]) in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 when exposed to rain (or fog) in the overworld. It is the final form of Goomy.

==Biology==
Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. Most of its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

Because of its meek, friendly nature, Goodra is often teased for supposed weakness. Goodra is known to be very friendly. When it grows close to someone, it will hug them and leave them coated in slime. If it is left alone, it will ooze gooey tears. Goodra usually misunderstands instructions, appearing dazed or bewildered. Despite this, many Trainers don't mind it, instead finding this behavior to be adorable. However, it will strike at its tormentors with its retractable horns and powerful tail. The horns can hit 100 times harder than the blow of a heavyweight boxer. It is also capable of throwing punches with incredible force. Its slimy coating in combination with a layer of fat causes attacks to slide off.

Hisuian Goodra has droopy eyes and horns that are longer and thinner than Kalosian Goodra's horns. It sports a giant spiral metallic shell on its back, which it can tuck its body into to protect itself, leaving only its head outside of the shell to peek around. It can control the hardness of its shell at will. It has less teal spots than Kalosian Goodra's; with one on each side of its cheek and two on each side of its tail. From its chin and arms drips a metallic grey slime. Hisuian Goodra has a clingy disposition and hates being alone; it will become angry and run riot if its closest companions were to ever leave its side.

Hisuian Goodra and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

==Trivia==
* Goodra is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]:
** to have an evolution method other than leveling up.
** to have a [[signature Ability]], which is exclusively obtained as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.
** to have a [[regional form]].
* Base stats-wise:
** Both forms of Goodra have the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Kalosian Goodra has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** Every one of Kalosian Goodra's base stats are exactly double those of {{p|Goomy}}, with Kalosian {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being halfway in between (rounded up).
** Hisuian Goodra has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Kalosian Goodra is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon of a single [[type]].
* Kalosian Goodra shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary lines, along with {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Kalosian Goodra was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/saya_tsuruta/status/1405666612103901188 Saya Tsuruta's Twitter account. Posted on June 18, 2020.]</ref>

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its {{t|Dragon}} type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Hisuian Goodra is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds.

====Name origin====
Goodra is a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a play on ''good'' or ''hydra''.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Sliggoo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメイル''' ''Numeil'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Goomy}} starting at [[level]] 40 and evolves into {{p|Goodra}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] (or [[fog]] in [[Generation VII]]) in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger this evolution.

In [[Hisui]], Sliggoo has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Goomy starting at level 40 and evolves into Hisuian Goodra starting at level 50 when exposed to rain (or fog) in the overworld. All Goomy in Hisui will evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Sliggoo is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|snail}}. The lower half of its body is light purple, while the upper half is a paler purple. It has featureless, green eyes, a single, tiny eyelash over each eye, and two pale green spots on each cheek. It has nubby, underdeveloped arms. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns; the front horns are small nubs, while the hind horns are considerably longer. Its gelatinous body forms a spiral shell-like structure on its back. Contained within the shell are its brain and other organs.

Sliggoo excretes and coats its body with sticky mucus that can dissolve anything. Because it lacks teeth, it sprays this liquid onto prey and slurps them up once they are dissolved. Since its slime can melt through anything, predators stay far away from it. Its eyes have devolved, causing it to go blind. This makes it difficult for it to tell allies from prey and it will sometimes attempt to melt its companions. Its four horns act as a radar system and are used to detect sounds and smells. Sliggoo only cares about food and will flee from its enemies whenever possible.

Hisuian Sliggoo has droopy, teal eyes that imply its melancholic personality, and carries a metallic spiral shell that lies parallel to the ground. Unlike it's Kalosian form, it has one teal spot on each cheek rather than two. It tucks almost its entire body inside this shell, and will only let out its head, neck and arms to peek outside. When it wants to move quickly, it will tuck its entire body into its shell, position the shell vertical to the ground, and roll itself away. It can also use its shell to float on water. It's theorized that the shell was created as a result of Hisuian Sliggoo's slime reacting with the iron-rich waters of Hisui.

Hisuian Sliggoo and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

==Trivia==
* Sliggoo was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].
* Sliggoo's Pokédex entry in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}} contains an error. Its slime is referred to as ''mucous'' instead of ''mucus''. ''Mucus'' is a noun and a synonym for slime. ''Mucous'' is an adjective, and describes something related to mucus. This error was fixed in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}.
* Sliggoo is currently the only known Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] during a [[Weather|weather condition]].
* Hisuian Sliggoo shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Shelmet}}. They are both known as the Snail Pokémon.

===Origin===
Sliggoo seems to be based on soft bodied gastropods such as {{wp|slugs}}, {{wp|nudibranch}}, and {{wp|semi-slug}}s. Its snail origins as well as its Dragon typing and elongated body shape may mean it could also be based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore. It may also be based upon the concept of "living slime" in popular culture.

Hisuian Sliggoo is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds.

====Name origin====
Sliggoo may be a combination of ''slick'', ''slither'', ''slippery'', ''slimy'', or ''slug'', and ''goo''.

Numeil is from 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery) and ''snail''.

'''Sneasel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニューラ''' ''Nyula'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weavile}} when [[level]]ed up holding a [[Razor Claw]] during the [[Time#Time-based evolutions|night]].

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Poison}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} when exposed to a Razor Claw during the day.

==Biology==
Sneasel is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily bluish-black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are yellow, oval markings. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, retractable claws on its hands and feet.

Sneasel is a notoriously vicious Pokémon, which is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. The claws are also used for climbing trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal or sub-alpine forests}}. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it. Sneasel steals {{pkmn|Egg}}s from unattended {{p|Pidgey}} nests. Sneasel has been known to form pairs to hunt. Sneasel can blend well into the night in order to ambush their prey. One will lure the parents away from the nest, while the other steals the eggs. It then uses its claws to poke a hole in the egg before slurping the contents out. As a result, Sneasel are despised and considered a scourge by [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Breeders]] to the point where they try to drive away or eradicate the former. Sneasel preys on {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, but its skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off. Its former [[signature move]], {{m|Beat Up}}, allows it to call on its teammates to attack its opponent. It shares roots from its Hisuian counterpart yet is more spiteful. This behavior likely stems from the water and ground of the environment that it lives in.

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its Johtonian counterpart due to the living environment on the cliffside. It has a white and purple body with it's left ear colored light purple. The face, shoulders, and chest have dark purple spots and there is a yellow gem on both its head and chest. The two toes on each foot are closed. And it has rounder eyes rather than it's Johtonian form. Like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male.

Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the precipitous walls and cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of Hisuian Sneasel's claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It prefers to be alone and not in packs like the Johtonian Sneasel. As a result of the environment, it evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} instead of {{p|Weavile}}.

==Trivia==
* Sneasel is one of fourteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Johtonian Sneasel and its evolved form.
* Sneasel can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gligar}}. Both of them have two [[type]]s which cause them to have a quadruple [[weakness]] to another type, have the same base stat total, evolve into Pokémon that were introduced in [[Generation IV]] ({{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Gliscor}}), and do so by leveling up at night while holding [[Evolution item]] whose name includes the word ''razor'' ([[Razor Claw]] and [[Razor Fang]]).
* Sneasel has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon that are capable of evolving.
* Despite Sneasel being based on the ''kamaitachi'', which has the same Japanese name as {{m|Razor Wind}}, Sneasel cannot learn this move.
* Sneasel is the only Pokémon to have a [[gender difference]] in both its standard form and [[regional form]].
* Sneasel is the only dual-type Pokémon to have a dual-type regional form that doesn't share either of its types.
* Hisuian Sneasel and {{p|Sneasler|its evolution}} were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1493600999038021632 Tweet about designing Hisuian Sneasel and Sneasler]</ref>

===Origin===
Sneasel may be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', a type of ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' often represented as weasel demons with sickles on their front legs and sometimes understood as the cause of mysterious cuts on the skin, especially in cold weather. It also resembles {{wp|black cats}}. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Viverridae|viverrids}}, {{wp|weasel}}-like mammals with half-retractable claws that are sometimes mistaken for cats; its "feathers" perhaps represent the dorsal crest seen on some species. Its eye markings are similar to that of ones in Egyptian style, possibly {{wp|Eye of Horus|Horus}}'s.

====Name origin====
Sneasel is a combination of ''sneaky'' and ''weasel''. It may also derive from ''sneeze'', an action associated with having a cold or being cold, referring to its Ice type. Sneasel may have derived from the Scottish word ''sneesl'', meaning to begin to rain or snow, hence the Ice type.

Nyula may be a combination of 潜入 ''sennyū'' (sneaking in) and 鼬 ''yū'' (weasel, an alternate reading of ''itachi''). Alternatively, it may be a combination of ''new'' and 野良 ''nora'' (stray, as in a stray cat, as strays are usually violent and tricky). ''Nyu'' itself may be a combination of ニャー ''nya'' (the sound a cat makes) and 鼬 ''yū''.

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Voltorb has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Voltorb is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse.

This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact.

Hisuian Voltorb, like their modern counterparts, resemble the Poké Balls of the time period, having the same wood grain pattern and a hole on top, from which it discharges all of its stored electricity while lacking the latch. On the inside, they contain numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine their interior due it being pitch-black. Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red, wooden eyebrow.

Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, they have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb before removing them from their settlements.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/</ref>

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the {{player}} to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.

===Origin===
Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, with its {{Shiny}} coloration possibly being based on a [[Great Ball]]. The design concept may be an inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}'', where items acquire a spirit and come to life on their 100th birthday. This may be referenced by Voltorb's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] numbers, which are both 100.

The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a {{wp|bomb}}. It may also be related to self-destruct buttons, which are often red in media. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.

The expression on both Voltorb and Electrode may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Voltorb's {{t|Grass}} typing may be a reference to Poké Balls originally being made from [[Apricorn]]s. The fact that it has numerous seeds inside its body may be inspired by a {{wp|seed ball}} (also known as a seed bomb), which are made by rolling various seeds with clay, forming a ball. The seed ball is then planted or thrown into the ground where vegetation is sparse, so that the seeds will germinate and grow. Its Shiny coloration may be based on an [[Ultra Ball]].

====Name origin====
Voltorb may be a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode has an {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It [[Evolution|evolves]] from Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Electrode is a round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an upside-down {{i|Poké Ball}} with a mouth and eyes. Its top half is white, while its lower half is red. For this reason, many Trainers try to pick it up, mistaking it for an item. The [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]] depict Electrode as hollow. Many know it by the nickname "Bomb Ball", due to its unpredictable and explosive nature.

Electrode tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} where fresh electricity is being generated, which it consumes. As a result, it often causes blackouts. The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. But unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode also resembles the upside-down Poké Balls of the time period, with a wooden pattern on its top half. Its eyes are large black holes inside a debossed pattern, resembling an angry glare. Its lower half is dark red with a constant frown along with a hole in the bottom. Interestingly, its surface tissue is similar to that of an [[Apricorn]]. When enraged, Hisuian Electrode can unleash a electric current equivalent to about 20 lightning bolts. It can also absorb and store chlorophyll energy along with electricity. Hisuian Electrode is worshiped by the Hisui people due to it being one of the 10 ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}}. In particular, its one of the Noble Pokémon who resides in [[Coronet Highlands]] watched by a [[Warden]]. It can also climb up trees.

Hisuian Electrode is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Chloroblast}}.

==Other appearances==

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS and Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in ''Brawl'' in much the same way as in ''Melee''; however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds. Electrode appears in fourth and fifth installments, retaining the same behavior from ''Brawl''.
{{-}}
====Melee trophy information====
''Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''
{{-}}
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."''
{{-}}
====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Electrode 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Electrode trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Electrode appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], {{player}}s can obtain an Electrode at a level as low as 3 by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]], evolving it, and [[In-game trade|trading]] it to an old man at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]].
* Electrode has a [[Oh Electrode|short song]] dedicated to it, sung by [[Suzukisan]].
* Electrode is the only non-playable Pokémon to use the same move in [[Pokkén Tournament]] and the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
* The author of [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Hidenori Kusaka]], uses Electrode to represent himself in the volume's comment boxes.
* Hisuian Electrode has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Electrode seems to be based on the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.

The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in {{wp|role-playing game}}s.

Based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to {{wp|land mine}}s. It may also be related to self-destruct buttons, which are often red colored in media. Like Voltorb, it may be based on {{wp|ball lightning}} as well.

The expression on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

The idea of it "drifting" when bloated on electricity may have been inspired by the white and red powerline marker balls utilised mark out electrical wires to aircraft and hikers.

Hisuian Electrode's {{t|Grass}} typing may be a reference to Poké Balls originally being made from [[Apricorn]]s. Its Shiny coloration may be based on an [[Ultra Ball]].

====Name origin====
Electrode may be a portmanteau of ''electric'' and ''explode'' or ''node'' (a computer or program), as well as a pun on ''{{wp|electrode}}'', a device through which electrical currents pass (although such a device is usually in the shape of a rod.)

Marumine may be a combination of 丸 ''maru'' (circle) and ''{{wp|mine}}'', as in {{wp|landmine}}.

'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] (or [[fog]] in [[Generation VII]]) in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 when leveled up during rain (or fog) in the overworld.

==Biology==
Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. Most of its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

Because of its meek, friendly nature, Goodra is often teased for supposed weakness. Goodra is known to be very friendly. When it grows close to someone, it will hug them and leave them coated in slime. If it is left alone, it will ooze gooey tears. Goodra usually misunderstands instructions, appearing dazed or bewildered. Despite this, many Trainers don't mind it, instead finding this behavior to be adorable. However, it will strike at its tormentors with its retractable horns and powerful tail. The horns can hit 100 times harder than the blow of a heavyweight boxer. It is also capable of throwing punches with incredible force. Its slimy coating in combination with a layer of fat causes attacks to slide off.

Hisuian Goodra has droopy eyes and horns that are longer and thinner than Kalosian Goodra's horns. It sports a giant spiral metallic shell on its back, which it can tuck its body into to protect itself, leaving only its head outside of the shell to peek around. It can control the hardness of its shell at will. From its chin and arms drips a metallic grey slime. Hisuian Goodra has a clingy disposition and hates being alone; it will become angry and run riot if its closest companions were to ever leave its side.

Hisuian Goodra and its evolutionary relatives are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its {{t|Dragon}} type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Hisuian Goodra is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds.

====Name origin====
Goodra is a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a play on ''good'' or ''hydra''.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Decidueye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュナイパー''' ''Junaiper'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dartrix}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Rowlet}}.

In [[Hisui]], Decidueye has a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Dartrix starting at level 36. It is the final form of Rowlet.

==Biology==
Decidueye is a tall, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an owl. The upper portion of its face is dark green with a thin, orange mask-like marking encircling its eyes. Its eyes are reddish-orange and it has a hooked dark green beak. The feathers covering its wings and back are brown, while the rest of its body is primarily white. The three feathers at the tip of each wing are structured similar to fingers and have lighter tips. The backs of its wings and torso are dotted with many white spots, there are six on each wing. The inside of each wing has a line of upside-down, reddish-orange triangles across the top. It has long legs, feet with two toes facing forward and two backward, and short dark green talons. Its tail consists of three long, green leaves.

A leafy hood covers its head and shoulders, and partially covers its face. The hood is smoothly draped across the shoulders and back, but has uneven edges. Around the head, the hood forms many pointed projections that extend over its face. A single white feather with a red base extends from the top of its hood. In the center of its chest is a reddish-orange X shape formed by dead leaves with two thin green vines extending from it. Pulling on the vines closes the hood further over Decidueye's face and improves its focus.

While this Pokémon is cool and cautious by nature, it begins to panic if surprised. It can hide from opponents by masking its presence, allowing it to attack unaware foes.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/decidueye/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Decidueye]</ref> It takes only a tenth of a second for it to pluck, aim, and fire an arrow quill from its wings. It is not only quick but also accurate, capable of striking targets over half a mile away. Decidueye is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spirit Shackle}} and the corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|Sinister Arrow Raid}}.

Compared to Alolan Decidueye, Hisuian Decidueye has a smaller wing area and thicker legs. The plumes around its ankles are longer, and its feet are black with white talons. Its tail feathers are red. Its head and neck covering is also red, with orange and white accents, and together they resemble an ayaigasa.<ref name=ayaigasa>http://www.kasama.or.jp/english/yabusame/</ref> Its wings appear to have more layers, and the rachises of its feathers are capable of storing air, allowing it to withstand the extreme cold of the Hisui region. Hisuian Decidueye is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Triple Arrows}}.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring Decidueye, {{p|Incineroar}}, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material it is known that Decidueye's code name was "フクロウ 3", or "Owl 3" during development.
* Decidueye was originally considered for [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], but director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to go with {{OBP|Incineroar|Super Smash Bros.}} instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124581867958273</ref>
* Decidueye is the only non-Mega-Evolved starter Pokémon that has its secondary type changed.
* Decidueye and its pre-evolutions are the only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Flying}}.
* Decidueye is the only Gen VII Pokémon to have a [[regional form]].

===Origin===
Decidueye is based on an {{wp|owl}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It is most similar to the {{wp|pueo|pueo owl}} in particular, which is a common physical form of the {{wp|aumakua}}, ancestral spirits in Hawaiian culture. This may account for its Ghost typing. Additionally, it has some traits similar to the {{wp|common barn owl}} – which in some territories is also known as the "ghost owl" – and the extinct {{wp|stilt-owl}}. In general, an association between the supernatural and owls was once a {{wp|owl#symbolism and mythology|very common}} motif, as they were seen as both bearers of death and disturbed spirits throughout history. Decidueye also shares elements with an {{wp|archery|archer}} and common depictions of the English folk hero {{wp|Robin Hood}}.

Hisuian Decidueye's appearance resembles a Japanese samurai wearing an ayaigasa conical hat,<ref name=ayaigasa/><ref>https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Takeda-ryu%20school.html</ref> traditionally worn by samurai archers for hunting or ceremonial purposes. It may be inspired by {{wp|Cikap-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of owls and the land.

====Name origin====
Decidueye may be a combination of ''{{wp|deciduous}}'', ''duel'', and ''deadeye'' or ''{{wp|Bullseye (target)|bullseye}}''.

Junaiper may be a combination of 樹 ''ju'' (tree), ''{{wp|juniper}}'', and ''sniper''.

'''Zorua''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゾロア''' ''Zorua'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Zoroark}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Zorua has a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Ghost}} [[regional form]].

Both it and Zoroark were the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 10, 2010.

==Biology==
Zorua is a slate gray, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with red and black accents. Its ears are triangular with dark insides, and it has a large tuft of fur tipped with red on top of its head. It has greenish-blue eyes with red eyelids. There are circular, red markings above the eyes that resemble eyebrows. Its muzzle is short and tapered with two small fangs seen in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Zorua possesses a ruff of black fur around its neck and four short limbs tipped with red. Its tail is short and bushy. Zorua can change its physical appearance, though this transformation is merely an illusion as it keeps its own type and moves.

Zorua is said to have a timid nature which lead to the development of its illusion abilities, Zorua keeps its true form hidden to ensure its safety, and takes on the appearance of other Pokémon to frighten off enemies. Sometimes it will take the form of a silent child in order to search for food. It have been known to occasionally replace normally talkative children. As seen in [[M13|its movie debut]], the tail of an unpracticed Zorua may remain when it takes on a human form, and if the tail is touched, it will revert to its true form. Zorua is mischievous and loves to surprise others. {{m|Night Daze}} is its former [[signature move]].

Exiled from other lands by humans because of their illusions, and unable to survive in the [[Hisui]] region due to the harsh environment and conflicts with other Pokémon, the souls of deceased Zorua linger on in a new form, reborn by their malice towards humans and Pokémon alike. Hisuian Zorua's fur is mainly light gray with red and white accents. Its ears are primarily gray with split cuts and a slight red tint at the tips. Its eyes have golden yellow irises and pink eyelids, and its limbs are tipped in black. The tuft of fur on its head, the ruff around its neck, and its tail are all white at their bases, with long wisps of fur that fade to red at the tips, and they are all smoother in appearance. Unlike Unovan Zorua, it has a uneasy expression rather than a mischievous one.

Hisuian Zorua retains its ability to cast illusions, but accomplishes this by unleashing its spiteful power through its ghostly fur. If it encounters a lone human or Pokémon, Zorua may appear to them masked in a horrifying illusion of their own likeness. It seems to draw strength from the terror it inflicts on its victims.<ref>https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/zorua/</ref>

==Trivia==

* Zorua was first revealed with its evolved form in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Zorua and its evolved form are the only non-[[Mythical Pokémon]] to have been [[event]]-exclusive for a time (prior to the release of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}).
* Zorua's Hisuian Form was teased in a [https://youtu.be/ayJvMf--68Q blurry found-footage style Promotional Video], and was [https://youtu.be/bEb9gbJUUeA revealed in full] two days later. A [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDqoe6_WnOY final trailer] was released the next week, showing its official artwork and information about it.

===Origin===
Zorua appears to be based on the ''{{wp|kitsune}}'' of Japanese folklore, a mythical {{wp|fox}} capable of shape-shifting. The concept of a Zorua still having its tail while in human form may refer to how a ''kitsune'' has difficulty in hiding its tail when it takes on human form in some stories. Its facial markings may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Kabuki}}'' and ''{{wp|Noh}}'' theater makeup.

In addition, Zorua's habit of replacing children with itself is similar to {{wp|Irish folklore}} about the {{wp|changeling}}, a fairy-child that replaces human children kidnapped by fairies or, in some tales, the devil. Zorua also resembles the {{wp|trickster}} characters of many cultures in both appearance and behavior; such characters are often depicted as foxes.

Hisuian Zorua may be based on {{wp|vengeful ghost}}s and {{wp|revenant}}s. Its coloration may be based on kitsune masks.

====Name origin====
Zorua may be a combination of ''zorro'' (Spanish for ''fox'') and ''rua'' (Irish for ''red'', possibly referring to its red fur; ''madra rua'' is Irish for ''fox'').

The '''Mossdeep Space Center''' (Japanese: '''トクサネ{{tt|宇宙|うちゅう}}センター''' ''{{tt|Tokusane|Mossdeep}} Space Center'') is located in [[Mossdeep City]]. This destination was chosen because of Mossdeep's ideal weather, clear and sunny with stable winds. The Space Center successfully sends rockets into space, though specifics of the space missions are unknown. There is a white rock outside which holds a special meaning to the people at the space center; it is a symbol of their wish for their rockets to fly safely.

==In the games==
[[File:Mossdeep City Space Center RS.png|thumb|200px|The Mossdeep Space Center as depicted in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}]]
Many scientists work here and are dedicated to the rocket launches' success. The Space Center contains many blueprints of rockets, machines and computers, and has two accessible floors.

In the game, a man by the window will reveal the number of successful launches there have been. Another person in the Space Center will give the {{player}} a [[Sun Stone]].

===Pokémon Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, after failing to take control of {{p|Groudon}}, [[Team Magma]] tries to obtain the rocket fuel there to use to make [[Mt. Chimney]] erupt. They send a letter to the Space Center, informing them that they will take the rocket fuel, causing a panic. After the player obtains the {{badge|Mind}}, Team Magma attacks the center, and the player must enter the Space Center and defeat all of the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s on the first floor in order to go to the second floor. On the second floor, the {{player}} meets up with [[Steven Stone]] and pairs up with him to [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
====Delta Episode====
{{spoilers}}
At the start of the [[Delta Episode]], Scientists at the Space Center notice that an asteroid has changed its trajectory and is now on a collision course with the planet. In order to stop it, the Scientists lead by [[Professor Cozmo]] intend to use a rocket full of [[Infinity Energy]] as well as the energy of human (which is found in [[Key Stone]]s) to create a warp hole (using the same technology as [[warp tile]]s) to take the asteroid off collision course with the planet. Using the [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]], they can control where the asteroid will land, but this requires a large amount of energy from [[Meteorite Shard]]s.

During the Delta Episode, before the player obtains the Meteorite Shard, the player is denied access to the second floor due to the scientists focusing on the incoming asteroid.

After the player obtains a Meteorite Shard from [[Zinnia]] in [[Granite Cave]], the player receives an Entry Call on their [[PokéNav Plus]] from Steven, who requests that the player meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center. On the second floor, Professor Cozmo and Steven await the player. When the player arrives there, Professor Cozmo explains the current plan to warp to asteroid, but is interrupted by Zinnia, who warns them that they are making a mistake greater than that of [[AZ]] when he used the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite her warnings, Steven and Cozmo are unfazed, and request that the player retrieve another Meteorite Shard to continue the plan, but this time require one from [[Meteor Falls]].

After the player confronts [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} outside the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} leads the quintuplets and another Grunt in a raid on the Space Center. The villainous team admin intends to blow up the rocket, which contains more [[Infinity Energy]] than the ultimate weapon, with the aid of a Key Stone found at the [[Meteor Falls]] to complete [[Project AZOTH]], saying that blowing up the rocket would be analogous to it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Once they are stopped, [[Zinnia]] appears and takes the dimensional shifter controller and crushes it in her hand, rendering the plan to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] useless. She warns that using the dimensional shifter would have sent the asteroid into [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|another world]], in which the ultimate weapon was never built, so lacked the technology to avert the asteroid. She then takes Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}'s Key Stone and announces her plan to steal [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}'s.

After receiving the [[Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}} from [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} in the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an Entry Call on their PokéNav Plus from Steven, who requests that the player meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center. On the second floor, Professor Cozmo and Steven await the player. When the player arrives there, Steven explains that very few people can enter [[Sky Pillar]], such as Lorekeepers. He then suggests that the player ask [[Wallace]] for help, who has inherited the ancient lore to be able to break the seal preventing access to the Sky Pillar, who can be found outside the [[Cave of Origin]].

==Rumors==
In the games, a man by the window will reveal the number of successful launches there have been; the number is an indicator to the number of weeks since the saved game was begun. Because this is a time-based event, the Space Center will cease to launch Rockets when the battery for the internal clock runs dry, and it can be affected by the [[berry glitch]].

Many rumors have been spread about this number and its relation to {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}. Many believe that if the man reaches a certain number, the player will be able to ride a rocket into space and battle Jirachi or Deoxys. Like the {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|truck rumors}} of Generation I, this rumor is false. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|the remakes]], however, it is in fact [[Delta Episode|possible]] to go to space and battle Deoxys, perhaps in reference to these rumors.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center anime.png|thumb|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Space Center in order to find the [[Mossdeep Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], although [[Max]] was also wanting to see the launch of a {{wp|space shuttle}}. They eventually found [[Tate and Liza]] battling in a room, where four {{p|Baltoy}} were creating a weightless space with their {{m|Confusion}}. There, Ash was surprised to learn that the [[Mossdeep Gym]] had two Gym Leaders.

Soon after, {{TRT}} made a brazen attempt to steal the space shuttle. However, with the help of Max and Tate, who had sneaked into the shuttle earlier, their plans were foiled. Later on, the shuttle was successfully launched for a space expedition.

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', {{an|Sophocles}} mentioned that he had plans to visit [[Mossdeep City]] and the Mossdeep Space Center with [[Molayne]] for his upcoming vacation. They departed for said vacation in [[SM146|the next episode]]. Sophocles had returned from the Space Center by ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', but planned to visit again to research space Pokémon.

In the anime, the Space Center contains many training machines for astronauts, such as a Moon walker to simulate walking on the Moon in low gravity, a MAT (Multi-Axis Trainer) that spins people around, and a space shuttle simulator. According to Max, Mossdeep's space program has previously launched the {{p|Sunflora}} Weather Satellite, {{p|Ho-Oh}} Three, and several manned space probes into space.

The Space Center will appear again in [[JN096]].

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center PG.png|thumb|left|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center interior PG.png|250px|thumb|Mossdeep Space Center interior in Pokémon Generations]]
The Mossdeep Space Center debuted in the background in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', being situated near the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where [[Archie]] was attempting to reawaken [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}.

The facility appeared again as the main setting of ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. Here, [[Gabby and Ty]] had infiltrated the Space Center whilst trying to find out some information about the destruction of the [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. While there, Gabby was able to download secret satellite footage of the event, showing that the Meteor was destroyed by a {{me|Rayquaza}} ridden by {{player|a Trainer}}. They also discovered that the Meteor had contained an {{p|Deoxys|unknown Pokémon from outer space}}, which was {{pkmn2|caught}} by the Trainer after a {{pkmn|battle}}. When attempting to leave with the footage, they were nearly caught by [[Professor Cozmo]], who believed that the world was not yet ready to know the truth behind the events.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', [[Courtney]] raided the Mossdeep Space Center in order to collect information that would be passed on to {{adv|Ruby}} some time later in ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]''.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS296|It's Starting to Make Sense Now]]'', [[Sird]] revealed that cylinders containing two alien life forms, both of which grew into a {{adv|Deoxys}} later on, had been guarded in the Mossdeep Space Center. After Courtney had raided the building, Sird managed to smuggle the cylinders away, and left it to the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Elite Trio]] of [[Team Rocket]] to transport them back to their base in [[Kanto]] aboard the [[Team Rocket airship]].

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
A rocket was revealed to have been built there and was awaiting the dimensional shifter, a device developed by [[Devon Corporation]]. It was intended for the rocket to be launched to space and deploy the dimensional shifter towards the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] about to collide with the planet, in order to avert a potential apocalypse. [[Professor Cozmo]] and his aides, who confirmed the course of the meteor towards the planet, later helped guard the rocket. {{adv|Sapphire}} was accidentally transported into the rocket by {{p|Hoopa}}, making her the first [[Pokédex holder]] known to have visited the Space Center. She managed to find her way out and deliver the dimensional shifter to Cozmo. Although the rocket was successfully launched, [[Zinnia]] attacked it mid-flight with her {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}}, and despite Sapphire trying to stop her, made it crash-land and destroyed the dimensional shifter.

The '''Mossdeep Space Center''' (Japanese: '''トクサネ{{tt|宇宙|うちゅう}}センター''' ''{{tt|Tokusane|Mossdeep}} Space Center'') is located in [[Mossdeep City]]. This destination was chosen because of Mossdeep's ideal weather, clear and sunny with stable winds. The Space Center successfully sends rockets into space, though specifics of the space missions are unknown. There is a white rock outside which holds a special meaning to the people at the space center; it is a symbol of their wish for their rockets to fly safely.

==In the games==
[[File:Mossdeep City Space Center RS.png|thumb|200px|The Mossdeep Space Center as depicted in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}]]
Many scientists work here and are dedicated to the rocket launches' success. The Space Center contains many blueprints of rockets, machines and computers, and has two accessible floors.

In the game, a man by the window will reveal the number of successful launches there have been. Another person in the Space Center will give the {{player}} a [[Sun Stone]].

===Pokémon Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, after failing to take control of {{p|Groudon}}, [[Team Magma]] tries to obtain the rocket fuel there to use to make [[Mt. Chimney]] erupt. They send a letter to the Space Center, informing them that they will take the rocket fuel, causing a panic. After the player obtains the {{badge|Mind}}, Team Magma attacks the center, and the player must enter the Space Center and defeat all of the {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s on the first floor in order to go to the second floor. On the second floor, the {{player}} meets up with [[Steven Stone]] and pairs up with him to [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
====Delta Episode====
{{spoilers}}
At the start of the [[Delta Episode]], Scientists at the Space Center notice that an asteroid has changed its trajectory and is now on a collision course with the planet. In order to stop it, the Scientists lead by [[Professor Cozmo]] intend to use a rocket full of [[Infinity Energy]] as well as the energy of human (which is found in [[Key Stone]]s) to create a warp hole (using the same technology as [[warp tile]]s) to take the asteroid off collision course with the planet. Using the [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]], they can control where the asteroid will land, but this requires a large amount of energy from [[Meteorite Shard]]s.

During the Delta Episode, before the player obtains the Meteorite Shard, the player is denied access to the second floor due to the scientists focusing on the incoming asteroid.

After the player obtains a Meteorite Shard from [[Zinnia]] in [[Granite Cave]], the player receives an Entry Call on their [[PokéNav Plus]] from Steven, who requests that the player meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center. On the second floor, Professor Cozmo and Steven await the player. When the player arrives there, Professor Cozmo explains the current plan to warp to asteroid, but is interrupted by Zinnia, who warns them that they are making a mistake greater than that of [[AZ]] when he used the [[ultimate weapon]] 3,000 years ago. Despite her warnings, Steven and Cozmo are unfazed, and request that the player retrieve another Meteorite Shard to continue the plan, but this time require one from [[Meteor Falls]].

After the player confronts [[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}} outside the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]], [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} leads the quintuplets and another Grunt in a raid on the Space Center. The villainous team admin intends to blow up the rocket, which contains more [[Infinity Energy]] than the ultimate weapon, with the aid of a Key Stone found at the [[Meteor Falls]] to complete [[Project AZOTH]], saying that blowing up the rocket would be analogous to it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Once they are stopped, [[Zinnia]] appears and takes the dimensional shifter controller and crushes it in her hand, rendering the plan to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] useless. She warns that using the dimensional shifter would have sent the asteroid into [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|another world]], in which the ultimate weapon was never built, so lacked the technology to avert the asteroid. She then takes Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/Matt{{sup/6|AS}}'s Key Stone and announces her plan to steal [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}'s.

After receiving the [[Cameruptite]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Sharpedonite]]{{sup/6|AS}} from [[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Shelly]]{{sup/6|AS}} in the [[Team Magma Hideout]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua Hideout]]{{sup/6|AS}}, the player receives an Entry Call on their PokéNav Plus from Steven, who requests that the player meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center. On the second floor, Professor Cozmo and Steven await the player. When the player arrives there, Steven explains that very few people can enter [[Sky Pillar]], such as Lorekeepers. He then suggests that the player ask [[Wallace]] for help, who has inherited the ancient lore to be able to break the seal preventing access to the Sky Pillar, who can be found outside the [[Cave of Origin]].

==Rumors==
In the games, a man by the window will reveal the number of successful launches there have been; the number is an indicator to the number of weeks since the saved game was begun. Because this is a time-based event, the Space Center will cease to launch Rockets when the battery for the internal clock runs dry, and it can be affected by the [[berry glitch]].

Many rumors have been spread about this number and its relation to {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}. Many believe that if the man reaches a certain number, the player will be able to ride a rocket into space and battle Jirachi or Deoxys. Like the {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|truck rumors}} of Generation I, this rumor is false. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|the remakes]], however, it is in fact [[Delta Episode|possible]] to go to space and battle Deoxys, perhaps in reference to these rumors.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center anime.png|thumb|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Space Center in order to find the [[Mossdeep Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], although [[Max]] was also wanting to see the launch of a {{wp|space shuttle}}. They eventually found [[Tate and Liza]] battling in a room, where four {{p|Baltoy}} were creating a weightless space with their {{m|Confusion}}. There, Ash was surprised to learn that the [[Mossdeep Gym]] had two Gym Leaders.

Soon after, {{TRT}} made a brazen attempt to steal the space shuttle. However, with the help of Max and Tate, who had sneaked into the shuttle earlier, their plans were foiled. Later on, the shuttle was successfully launched for a space expedition.

In ''[[SM145|Dreams of the Sun and Moon!]]'', {{an|Sophocles}} mentioned that he had plans to visit [[Mossdeep City]] and the Mossdeep Space Center with [[Molayne]] for his upcoming vacation. They departed for said vacation in [[SM146|the next episode]]. Sophocles had returned from the Space Center by ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', but planned to visit again to research space Pokémon.

In the anime, the Space Center contains many training machines for astronauts, such as a Moon walker to simulate walking on the Moon in low gravity, a MAT (Multi-Axis Trainer) that spins people around, and a space shuttle simulator. According to Max, Mossdeep's space program has previously launched the {{p|Sunflora}} Weather Satellite, {{p|Ho-Oh}} Three, and several manned space probes into space.

Mossdeep Space Center will appear again in [[JN096]].

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center PG.png|thumb|left|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center interior PG.png|250px|thumb|Mossdeep Space Center interior in Pokémon Generations]]
The Mossdeep Space Center debuted in the background in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', being situated near the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where [[Archie]] was attempting to reawaken [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}.

The facility appeared again as the main setting of ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. Here, [[Gabby and Ty]] had infiltrated the Space Center whilst trying to find out some information about the destruction of the [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. While there, Gabby was able to download secret satellite footage of the event, showing that the Meteor was destroyed by a {{me|Rayquaza}} ridden by {{player|a Trainer}}. They also discovered that the Meteor had contained an {{p|Deoxys|unknown Pokémon from outer space}}, which was {{pkmn2|caught}} by the Trainer after a {{pkmn|battle}}. When attempting to leave with the footage, they were nearly caught by [[Professor Cozmo]], who believed that the world was not yet ready to know the truth behind the events.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Mossdeep Space Center Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Mossdeep Space Center in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', [[Courtney]] raided the Mossdeep Space Center in order to collect information that would be passed on to {{adv|Ruby}} some time later in ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]''.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS296|It's Starting to Make Sense Now]]'', [[Sird]] revealed that cylinders containing two alien life forms, both of which grew into a {{adv|Deoxys}} later on, had been guarded in the Mossdeep Space Center. After Courtney had raided the building, Sird managed to smuggle the cylinders away, and left it to the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Elite Trio]] of [[Team Rocket]] to transport them back to their base in [[Kanto]] aboard the [[Team Rocket airship]].

===={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
A rocket was revealed to have been built there and was awaiting the dimensional shifter, a device developed by [[Devon Corporation]]. It was intended for the rocket to be launched to space and deploy the dimensional shifter towards the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] about to collide with the planet, in order to avert a potential apocalypse. [[Professor Cozmo]] and his aides, who confirmed the course of the meteor towards the planet, later helped guard the rocket. {{adv|Sapphire}} was accidentally transported into the rocket by {{p|Hoopa}}, making her the first [[Pokédex holder]] known to have visited the Space Center. She managed to find her way out and deliver the dimensional shifter to Cozmo. Although the rocket was successfully launched, [[Zinnia]] attacked it mid-flight with her {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}}, and despite Sapphire trying to stop her, made it crash-land and destroyed the dimensional shifter.
