Hoenn Pokérap

2020-01-26T09:14:13Z

Galladeon: /* Lyrics */ not a possessive or a contraction, apostrophe doesn't belong

{{incomplete}}
'''Hoenn Pokérap''' is the third and final Pokérap to be made by [[4Kids Entertainment]] for the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was made to feature the 135 {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}.

This Pokérap also features {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, both of whom were missing from their generation's respective Pokéraps. However, it does not include {{p|Zigzagoon}} and {{p|Relicanth}}.

There are two versions. Both have the same lyrics, but one version has faster music and more rapping than the other.

It is available on the {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} CD. A remix of this song was included on the [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] CD. It was also used as the ending theme for ''[[PK17|Pikachu's Island Adventure]]''.

Unlike the previous Pokéraps, no official music video has been made for this rap. Several fans have made their own music video for this rap.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} are mentioned in this rap despite having been released in previous generations. This may be due to their absence from their [[Kanto Pokérap|respective]] [[Pokérap GS|Pokéraps]].
* Unlike the two other raps, this one often covers similar or evolutionarily connected Pokémon to each other by singing one after the other.
* If one was to rearrange the Pokérap so all of the Pokémon are in National Pokédex order, {{p|Dustox}} would remain in its position in the song. If one was to omit Mew and Celebi, as they are not Pokémon introduced in [[Generation III]], {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Linoone}} would remain in their respective spots upon rearrangement.

===Errors===

* {{p|Zigzagoon}} and {{p|Relicanth}} have been left out.
* {{p|Beldum}} is pronounced Be'''d'''-'''l'''um.

The Extra Mile

2018-06-16T18:27:00Z

Galladeon: /* Lyrics */

'''The Extra Mile''' is a song from the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of the second movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. It is perfomed by {{wp|Laura Pausini}}.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Countless eyes are watching
In this our finest hour
It's time to realize the dream
Of who we really are
I'm gonna freeze this space and time
Rise to meet the call
Seize the moment make it mine
And through it all

Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I found
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you

I know it won't be easy
To make you understand
I wanna take the glory
And put it in your hands
'Cause you're the light that makes me shine
You're the hero in my eyes
Win or lose, do or die
I'll make it heard

Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I found
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you

(I'll go the extra mile) In the end
(I'll go the extra mile) I wanna be able to say
I'd give all of me for the world to see
And I will do it all again
I'll go the extra mile

Straight as the arrow flies
I will run towards the finish line
With all the strength I found (all the strength I found)
My feet won't touch the ground
I will scale the heights if I believe
The wings of faith will carry me
I'll go the distance just to reach
The arms I'm running to
I'll go the extra mile for you

Knowing it would be worthwhile,
I will go the extra mile
For you.''</ab>

Vacation, need a little sun to break up
all the frustration and turn it into love.
And nobody's gonna tell us what we gonna do
because today it's up to me and you.

Temptation coming up to me,
A little brief relaxation and I'll be breaking free.
Come on and break it break it new and I believe it's gonna start now
(Kick it back, Kick it back, Kick it back to the track,
Kick it back, Kick it back, Kick it back and relax)

Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
('Cuz I need a break, I need a vacation)

Vibrations, need to get me sun
and break up all my complications and turn it into love.
And nobody's gonna tell us where we gotta be
because today, today it's to you and me.

Vacation's what I wanna do
Party on the beach, fun for me and you.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
(Repeat after me: "I need a vacation.")

Bulbapedia:Spading

2014-12-30T14:39:43Z

Galladeon: /* {{status|Confusion}} */

__NEWSECTIONLINK__
{{shortcut|2|SPADING|BP:SPADING}}
'''Spading''' (from the {{wp|Bartle Test}}) is the act of actively trying to learn about all aspects of a game. To that end, this page will contain a list of questions about the games that need to be researched, and will probably contain a list of answers for historical purposes.

There is a template for spading: [[Template:Spading]]. It is to be placed on the front page. Unless people start to dislike that, in which case it will belong on the talk page. Usage details are in the [[Template:Spading|template page]].

Note: Since it doesn't really matter, this talk page can be used as a less formal way of doing spading. You can time-stamp a question or answer here with five tildes (<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>: time without username).

==Multiple generations==
===Randomness of specific pokemon===
I've noticed that though stats and nature of pokemon obtained as a prize at game corners are random (at least in fire red) their gender and ability remain the same, no matter how many times I try. Personality values as described in its page are stored as a single 32 digit number and randomized upon the pokemon being "created", does this then mean that on occasion it's not treated completely at random? If so, when? What pokemon have part of their personality values fixed?

==={{status|Confusion}}===
:''Status: Answered''
How is damage from confusion determined? Attack and defense stats both influence it, but is there a base power like normal attacks?
*'''Answer''': Smogon says that it's a 40-power move.

In that case, how does it interact with Technician?

===Mimic/Sketch===
:''Status: Answered''
Can you Mimic Sketch?
* '''Answer:''' No, you can't. Right since Generation II, it just says that "But it failed!".

==={{m|Protect}}===
:''Status: Answered''
What is the accuracy of Protect after used once or more times in succession?
* '''Answer:''' Reduced by 50%. A detailed version available at the Protect/Detect page.

===Ghost===
:''Status: Answered''
In Generations I, II, and III, is ghost physical or special? The current page says it is physical, but Shadow Ball lowers special defense in previous generations, so why would it be physical?
* '''Answer:''' This is just the effect of the move. It is programmed that Shadow Ball lowers special defense, and this has nothing to do with the nature of the move. Oh, and it is physical by the way.

===Transform===
Some questions appear on the Talk page for {{m|Transform}}. These three have not been adequately answered:
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}?
* In which generations does Transform fail to copy a foe during the semi-invulnerable turns of {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, etc?
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}}?
[[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 04:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:*Same effect as normal. It uses Baton Pass and all stat changes, substitutes, etc. transfer over to the new Pokémon. Transformed state does not transfer over.
:*Fails in IV, dunno about I-III.
:*It fails.
:'''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
:To answer the second question, it fails in III and IV but it will transform into the opponent in generation I-II. [[User:ShinyGlaceon|ShinyGlaceon]] 16:56, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

===Serene Grace===

Does Serene Grace work in conjunction with held items such as King's Rock?
--[[User:Chromehawk|Chromehawk]] 23:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:*No. Items are calculated in after abilities are. if the King's Rock was calculated in beforehand, moves with a 30% chance of flinching normally would have a finishing calculation of 102%. It is calculated abilities, then items.
--[[User:Vlax|Vlax]]
:: This is incorrect, [[Serene Grace]] does increase the chance according to the article. Your answer is also wrong because flinch items don't modify moves already capable of flinching. [[User:EliteFourScott|EliteFourScott]] ([[User talk:EliteFourScott|talk]]) 01:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

==={{m|Take Down}}===

What happens if both the user and the opponent faint using this move, and it is both Trainers' last Pokémon? Who wins? [[User:TheTigerBuddy|TheTigerBuddy]] 19:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
:I'd assume competitively it would count the same as a self-fainting caused by Destiny Bond or Explosion (the loser is the one who used it), but game coding, I've got no idea.
:If it happens in any in-game battles, include Battle Tower/Frontier matches, you lose regardless who used that recoil move. As for Wi-Fi/LAN battles, it probably counts as a draw (same as Selfdestruct or Destiny Bond KO's). ~ [[User:Solarys|Solarys]] 11:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
::The trainer whose Pokémon faints first is the loser. That's why Explosion faints the user ''before'' dealing damage in Generation V.[[User:LouisCyphre|
]] 21:57, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

==={{p|Shuckle}} and [[Drink#Berry_Juice|Berry Juice]]===

* How long does it take a shuckle to convert a berry into berry juice?
* How long does it then take to convert berry juice into rare candy?
* In which generations can berry juice and/or rare candies be obtained in this way?
* Is obtaining rare candies from shuckles even possible at all, or is it just a rumor?
* What kinds of berries can be converted into juice? Normal berries from Generation II can, of course, and the page for [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] say that they can be converted as well. Are there any others?

And so forth. --[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

-It doesn't work in generation IV. I can say that for certain, as I tried and even after days, my Shuckle still held an Oran Berry. Last I heard, it takes 24 hours to get Berry Juice in generation II, then another 24 hours to get a Rare Candy. However, I can't say this for certain --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:37, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

==={{a|Drought}} Vs. {{a|Drizzle}}===

When a Groudon, with Drought ability, and a Kyogre, with Drizzle ability, have a battle, does it rain or have bright sunlight? Do they cancel each other out? {{unsigned|Redriders180}}
:The ability of the faster Pokémon is activated first, the ability of the slower Pokémon is activated second. The slower Pokémon's weather condition would be in effect for the battle. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:02, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
I have another question; in double/triple battles, does the order in which the Pokémon are sent out affect which condition remains in effect?
:No, only speed determines the remaining weather. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''''Pikiwyn''''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 23:33, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

===Critical Hits and Evasion===
Critical Hits ignore stat changes that would be disadvantageous to the user, but does this include boosts to the foe's evasion and drops to the user's accuracy? If so, then in what generations?
:According to the [[critical hit]] article, discrimination among stat changes only occurs when calculating damage, which accuracy & evasion have no effect on (unless there's some obscure move or ability that I don't know about). —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 04:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

===Badges boosting stats===
Apparently badges in Generations I-III boost stats. How do they boost them? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:30, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what generations this applies to, but the badges that are said to boost a certain stat give a 9/8 multiplier to that stat so if you had a pokemon with a speed stat of 8 and obtained a THUNDERBADGE, it would immediately rise to 9. Any pokemon caught will immediately be boosted in their respective stats as well. When a pokemon levels up or recieves EV-enhancing vitamins, the pokemon's stats ''without'' the badge-boost will be affected and then the boost will be re-applied to the enhanced stat(s). Also, the boost affects moves (and abilities like speed boost) that raise or lower stats, so if the aforementioned pokemon used agility to double its speed, it would add 9 for the double in speed and another 1 (rounded from 1.125) for the badge-boost affecting the extra nine added by the move. [[User:AJRubyVersion|AJRubyVersion]] 00:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC) *and credit to gamefaqs.com[http://www.gamefaqs.com] for the beginning information and getting me into studying this independently*
:Turns out Ultimate Pokémon Center has the info for each generation. In Gen I and II, the stat is multiplied by 9/8, and in Gen II this boost is ignored if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's Attack/Special Attack stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's Defense/Special Defense stat stage. In Gen III, the stat is multiplied by 1.1. From Gen IV onwards, there is no boost. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:15, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

===Trainers===
What is the formula/program trainers use to choose what to do? [[User:BanetteWobbuffet|BanetteWobbuffet]] 17:03, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

===Boost Calculation===

If a sat boosting move or ability, such as victory star or sand veil, is activated, how is it applied? for example, a victini uses inferno. inferno has 50 accuracy. does the boost add 10 percent to the 50, or add 10 percent of 50? [[User:Deoxys80|Deoxys80]] 18:19, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
:10% of 50. Inferno used by a Victini with Victory Star would have 55% accuracy. [[User:MetalMetroid997|MetalMetroid997]] ([[User talk:MetalMetroid997|talk]]) 06:52, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

===[[Pokérus]]===
:''Status: Q4 Answered''

* A Pokémon with Pokérus is traded between two games with the same time just before midnight. The players concluded trading after midnight. In this hypothetical situation, does a day pass until Pokérus is cured or does a Pokémon act like it was in the PC?
** (When answered) Is there a situation involving trading where the opposite result occurs?
* In Generation III, Pokémon with Pokérus [[Pokérus#After having the virus|that are deposited before midnight and withdraw after midnight can possible be cured]]. This question has been split into parts to separate the issues involved.
**In the scenario linked above, does this occur in other Generations?
**In the linked scenario, what happens when the player deposits the Pokémon after midnight and then leaves the Center?
**In the linked scenario, does this occur only in Centers or in all places with a PC?
* Also in Gen III, Pokérus can only be contracted in RSE. However, Pokémon can be traded with Pokérus to Colosseum and XD. Does Pokérus be spread through the party or does it act like FRLG?
* In Generation V, [[Talk:Pokérus#Apparently, GYM LEADERS can give you pokerus???|can a Pokémon obtain Pokérus after a battle with a Trainer]]?
* More for the future. Pokérus increases the rate of Double-Up Bags, but what is the exact increase?
Some questions based on the article, the article's talk page, and some thoughts that I had. --03:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

==[[Generation II]]==
==={{m|Mirror Coat}}===
:''Status: unanswered''
The text below was in an HTML comment in the Gen II section of the Mirror Coat page. Someone should look into it and edit Mirror Coat as appropriate. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
<blockquote>
Editor's note: this section will require research for accuracy.

If the user is put to {{status|sleep}} or is {{status|freeze|frozen}} during the round that Mirror Coat is (or attempts to be) used, Mirror Coat's decreased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Mirror Coat can cause a critical hit, but the actual amount of damage dealt by it will not be altered by a critical hit. Mirror Coat will only counter the last hit of a multi-hit move and the last attack of a partial trapping move. Mirror Coat will always miss if called by {{m|Metronome}}.

Switching, full {{status|paralysis}}, and using a multi-turn move will not reset the last amount of damage done, allowing Mirror Coat to counter itself as well as self-inflicted recoil damage. However, if both active Pokémon use Mirror Coat during the same round, both attacks will fail. An attack absorbed by a {{m|Substitute}} can be countered for the amount of damage it would have done to the user had the user not had a substitute.

===[[Fossil]]s===
:''Status: Answered''
The [[Root and Claw Fossils]] are in the coding for {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, while the [[Old Amber]] and [[Dome and Helix Fossils]] are in the coding for {{game|Emerald}}. What happens if they are obtained through hacking and taken to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] or [[Devon Corporation]] in [[Rustboro City]]? Can you obtain an {{p|Anorith}} in FireRed and LeafGreen? A {{p|Kabuto}} in Emerald?
*'''Answer:''' Coding shows that the game does not recognize them as fossils, so they will not be resurrected.
Ok, so what if you trade them over, equipped to a Pokémon, after receiving the National Dex?
*Not possible in [[Generation III]]. Fossils are [[key items]] in that generation, and key items have never been tradable.

*'''Answer:''' Moves that Physically harm the opponent (generally ones that make [[contact]]), like {{m|Shadow Rush}} and {{m|Shadow Blitz}}, are Physical moves and therefore rely on the Attack and Defense stats. Shadow moves that don't physically hit the opponent, such as {{m|Shadow Fire}} and {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, are Special and use the Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense stats. So, technically, Shadow moves were the first moves to be split between Physical and Special.

That brings up a new question: Which Shadow Moves rely on Attack and Defense? Which rely on Special Attack and Special Defense? - '''[[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]]''' 01:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[Shadow Pokémon]] Natures and IVs===
:''Status: Answered''
Do [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD|XD]] randomize Shadow Pokémon's IVs and Natures each time one of these Pokémon is encountered? Or these atributes are only generated the first time and they remain static for a given Pokémon for the remainder of the game (be it rematches if the Pokémon faints during the first encounter)? Does technical evidence about this matter exist?
:'''Answer:'''Shadow Pokémon are only generated the first time. Their [[personality value]] and [[IV]]s are saved to the memory (offset?) upon encounter, because the [[Snag List]] uses these values in conjunction with the species of the Pokémon to keep track of their status and location.

===Pokéblock character bytes===
:''Status: Answered''
[[Character encoding in Generation III|In the Generation III games]] (primarily RSE), the word "POKéBLOCK" is written with 5 bytes (in hex: <code>55 56 57 58 59</code>). The first two are easily PO and Ké, but for the last three bytes, there's no way to tell just from "BLOCK" which byte corresponds to what exactly. If someone could mod and play a ROM (or RAM) so that 0x58 shows up (isolated from 0x57 and 0x59) in a town sign or someone's dialogue or something and see what that byte produces, we could know for sure what each of the bytes is.

(And while we're discussing [[Character encoding in Generation III|character bytes]], it might be neat if someone checked all the characters that are currently "unused" bytes, just to see if a few coherent characters turn up. I suspect that "×" might be hiding somewhere (like shows up in the [[Bag]]), and I wouldn't be too surprised to find miscellaneous other characters that will print, even if they may have never been used.)

===[[Pokémon breeding]]===
There's some oddity in the number of steps it takes to hatch an egg. The steps between egg hatches when holding multiple eggs is always divisible by 255 (minimum difference of 510), even if the steps between receiving them are not. It happens consistently when
*{{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} are on
*while holding multiple eggs from the same parents
*when some eggs are received while others are being held
There's probably a common counter for all eggs in the party, which, when it rolls over, decrements all egg counters by 1. However, this doesn't explain the "divisible by 255" part.
:Partial answer: [[Egg cycles]]. Just need to get persimmons from Smogon to adapt that into an article here. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

** Case A : The HP IV is passed on from either parent (1/6)
** Case B : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/6)
** Case C : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/6)

* Step 2.
** Case A1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case A2 : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/5)
** Case B1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case B2 : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (4/5)
** Case C1 : The DEF IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case C2 : The same IV is passed on from either parent (1/5)
** Case C3 : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (3/5)

** Case C3B : The same IV from step 2 is passed on (1/4)
** Case C3C : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (2/4)

Okay now we can combine the steps.
* Case A1 - 3 stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 4/4) = 4/120
* Case A2A - 2 Stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 1/4) = 4/120

* Case B1B - 2 Stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 3/120
* Case B2A - 2 Stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case B2B - 3 stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C1A - 2 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case C1B - 3 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C2A - 1 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 4/120
* Case C2B - 2 Stats (4/6 * 1/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case C3A - 2 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 1/4) = 12/120
* Case C3B - 2 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 1/4) = 12/120
* Case C3C - 3 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4) = 24/120

A quick check with the calculator and thankfully it adds up to 120/120. Now combining the possibilities ...
* 3 Stats inherited 3 random
** A1 + A2B + B2B + C1B + C3C =
*** 4+12+12+12+24 =
****64/120
* 2 Stats inherited 4 random
** A2A + B1B + B2A + C1A + C2B + C3A + C3B =
*** 4+3+4+4+12+12+12 =
**** 51/120
* 1 Stat inherited 5 random
** B1A + C2A =
*** 1+4 =
**** 5/120

That makes an easier chart of
* 3 Stats = 8/15 or 53.333%
* 2 Stats = 17/40 or 42.500%
* 1 Stat = 1/24 or 04.167%

How does the game determine which kind of room comes next for each entrance?

Each room has four exits, the one the player came from warps them back to the entrance room, while the other three may take the player to several types of rooms filled with rocks or a pillar room.

==={{a|Flash Fire}}===
;Status: Answered and added to the article
The current page says that Flash Fire will activate when the user is burned. However, Flash Fire nullifies Fire attacks, and thus the only moves that can possibly burn a Flash Fire user are {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Tri Attack}}. [[Flame Orb]] and {{a|Flame Body}} can also cause a burn.

'''The question''': Does a burn really activate Flash Fire, or did the contributor see an interaction between Will-O-Wisp and Flash Fire and interpreted it incorrectly?

Will-O-Wisp is possibly nullified, since it's a Fire move, and [http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/pokemondiamond/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-41882499&pid=925601 Google says] that Flame Orb does not get nullified, so the only case is Tri Attack. Does causing a burn with Tri Attack activate Flash Fire?

Burn does not activate Flash Fire. Tri-Attack, Flame Body, and flame orb, and being the victim of Synchronize/Psycho Shift)can cause burns while not being fire moves should the Pokemon with Flash Fire not be a Fire Type.(All legal Flash Fire Pokemon are Fire types, and thus Immune to burn anyways, which is probably why most would think burn activates it. Flash Fire can be put on Non-Fire types via Skill Swap, Role Play, Trace, or hacking). Similarly, Electivire, Jolteon, and Volt-Absorb Lanturn(As well as Ground Types) can still get Paralyzed by Non-Electric moves. [[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

If this applies to the forms of Shaymin and Giratina,it is probably because the forms aren't programmed into the Diamond and Pearl versions.In order to be able to interact with D/P,this has to be done.Therefore I find it safe to assume that Rotom will also reverse into it's normal form.
[[User:Uxie legend]] 15:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Shaymin's Sky Forme is allowed on Wi-Fi in some way. On the page for Platinum version, there is an image of a Wi-Fi battle with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

It's most likely a Local Wireless battle. The forme lockout only applies to Wi-Fi as of now. The alternate formes work fine using local wireless, even when playing against D/P users. The forms work in D/P by having Platinum sorta Patch D/P with knowledge of the items and stats(Though the sprites will look like their normal forme on the D/P user's end. This patching also makes Hypnosis have 60% accuracy over D/P's 70%). I've also seen people able to bypass the Wi-Fi forme lockout using cheats as well, so it has nothing to do with D/P incompatibilities[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I once did a Damage calculation where Solid Rock was considered to lower Super Effective Damage by 2/3rds(1.33 over 2x, and 2.66 over 4)(It was a Max Special Attack Kyogre in Rain using Water Spout on both Solid Rock Pokemon after having a 2.5 Increase to Special Defenses, and Light Screen up, with Camerupt and Rhyperior having Max HP and some Special Defense EV's as well, so that they would survive with about 1-10 HP left afterwards)and after testing it in actual gameplay, it did just as much damage as my calculator estimated it would. All my other calculations using the 2/3rds modifier usually matched up with gameplay to a T. I believe 2/3rds damage reduction is the accurate modifier.

For the most part, if there's a discrepancy between versions (e.g. Hypnosis has 70% accuracy in D/P but 60% in Pt/HG/SS), the game uses the host version to settle the dispute (e.g. if Diamond is the host, Hypnosis has 70% accuracy; if Platinum is the host, it has 60% accuracy).

*If a Japanese and an English game link up, is this still the case? In [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 this post], it's stated that the English version always takes precedence, but he doesn't state which game is the host.

==={{a|Sheer Force}}===
Moves with effects beneficial to the user are boosted and the effect is nullified, while moves with negative effects receive no boost and still have the effect. Do moves with both positive and negative effects lose both effects, or only the positive effect?
:Moves with a ''percent chance'' to do something are generally boosted, even if that chance is 100%. So, Fire Punch (10% Burn), Sacred Fire (50% Burn), and DynamicPunch (100% Confusion) are boosted. Hammer Arm (Always lowers speed) and Brave Bird (Always inflicts recoil) are not Boosted.A good frame of reference is Shield Dust or Serene Grace - Sheer Force boosts the same list of moves.
:Reply: also, moves that have effects will no longer cause a certain effect after the move was used(for example, A fire punch executed holding a Life Orb will negate the 30% burn AND the Life Orb after move damage, most like Magic Guard). I dont know if this applies also to the Choice items. If anyone can confirm this, it would be appreciated

===[[Black City]]/[[White Forest]] trainers===
The trainers have individual set values (80/70 for the ones who are less likely to leave and 30/20 for those who are more likely to leave). Once Black City and White Forest are reached, talking to them/battling them adds ten points to their value counter. Do these characters cap at their original max value (80/70/30/20; meaning if you spoke to them for two weeks straight [140 points accumulated], then ignored them for five days, a character with a 20 point value would vanish), or do they obtain a surplus and stick around for as long as the gained points allow?

Considering I've left my game alone for 10 days or more, I believe it can be safely assumed that characters build up a surplus. --[[User:Vlax|Vlax]] 18:33, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

=== Evolution and Abilities in Gen VI ===

[[Personality value#Ability]] says: ''In Generation VI, however, a Pokémon from an earlier generation will keep its original Ability slot even if it evolves.'' ...What does "Ability slot" mean?

I'm sure the original person who added that meant that, if a (say) {{p|Paras}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Effect Spore}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, it will still have Effect Spore after it evolves into Parasect (in contrast to Gen IV or V, when Parasect would have gotten its "proper" Ability, Dry Skin).

But the person's phrasing confuses me. Is Gen VI's mechanic simply to allow a Pokémon to keep an Ability as long as it can? That is, if a {{p|Venonat}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Compound Eyes}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Tinted Lens}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, will it evolve into a {{p|Venomoth}} (who has Abilities {{a|Shield Dust}} and Tinted Lens) with Tinted Lens like it "should" have, since it can't keep Compound Eyes? Or...would it keep its ''first'' Ability (its "Ability slot"?) if it evolves and end up with Shield Dust? (You can check if a Venonat "should" have its second Ability by test-evolving a Gen III Venonat in Gen IV or V. If it becomes a Venomoth with Tinted Lens, then you can reset the game and transfer the Venonat to Gen VI to test the same thing in Gen VI.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:20, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:Ability slot is supposed to refer to whether the Pokémon has its first or second Ability. So a Venonat caught it Gen III that has an odd personality value will evolve into a Venomoth with Tinted Lens in Generation IV and V; if that same Venonat is sent to Gen VI without evolving it, its Ability slot is stuck as the first slot (except using an Ability Capsule), so evolving it won't change the Ability slot to the second Ability Tinted Lens, but keep the same Ability slot resulting in Shield Dust. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

{{shortcut|2|SPADING|BP:SPADING}}
'''Spading''' (from the {{wp|Bartle Test}}) is the act of actively trying to learn about all aspects of a game. To that end, this page will contain a list of questions about the games that need to be researched, and will probably contain a list of answers for historical purposes.

There is a template for spading: [[Template:Spading]]. It is to be placed on the front page. Unless people start to dislike that, in which case it will belong on the talk page. Usage details are in the [[Template:Spading|template page]].

Note: Since it doesn't really matter, this talk page can be used as a less formal way of doing spading. You can time-stamp a question or answer here with five tildes (<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>: time without username).

==Multiple generations==
===Randomness of specific pokemon===
I've noticed that though stats and nature of pokemon obtained as a prize at game corners are random (at least in fire red) their gender and ability remain the same, no matter how many times I try. Personality values as described in its page are stored as a single 32 digit number and randomized upon the pokemon being "created", does this then mean that on occasion it's not treated completely at random? If so, when? What pokemon have part of their personality values fixed?

==={{status|Confusion}}===
:''Status: Answered''
How is damage from confusion determined? Attack and defense stats both influence it, but is there a base power like normal attacks?
*'''Answer''': Smogon says that it's a 40-power move.

*In that case, how does it interact with Technician?

===Mimic/Sketch===
:''Status: Answered''
Can you Mimic Sketch?
* '''Answer:''' No, you can't. Right since Generation II, it just says that "But it failed!".

==={{m|Protect}}===
:''Status: Answered''
What is the accuracy of Protect after used once or more times in succession?
* '''Answer:''' Reduced by 50%. A detailed version available at the Protect/Detect page.

===Ghost===
:''Status: Answered''
In Generations I, II, and III, is ghost physical or special? The current page says it is physical, but Shadow Ball lowers special defense in previous generations, so why would it be physical?
* '''Answer:''' This is just the effect of the move. It is programmed that Shadow Ball lowers special defense, and this has nothing to do with the nature of the move. Oh, and it is physical by the way.

===Transform===
Some questions appear on the Talk page for {{m|Transform}}. These three have not been adequately answered:
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Baton Pass}}?
* In which generations does Transform fail to copy a foe during the semi-invulnerable turns of {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}}, etc?
* What happens when a Transformed Pokémon uses {{m|Sketch}}?
[[User:Yenreb|Yenreb]] 04:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Does Serene Grace work in conjunction with held items such as King's Rock?
--[[User:Chromehawk|Chromehawk]] 23:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:*No. Items are calculated in after abilities are. if the King's Rock was calculated in beforehand, moves with a 30% chance of flinching normally would have a finishing calculation of 102%. It is calculated abilities, then items.
--[[User:Vlax|Vlax]]
:: This is incorrect, [[Serene Grace]] does increase the chance according to the article. Your answer is also wrong because flinch items don't modify moves already capable of flinching. [[User:EliteFourScott|EliteFourScott]] ([[User talk:EliteFourScott|talk]]) 01:09, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

:If it happens in any in-game battles, include Battle Tower/Frontier matches, you lose regardless who used that recoil move. As for Wi-Fi/LAN battles, it probably counts as a draw (same as Selfdestruct or Destiny Bond KO's). ~ [[User:Solarys|Solarys]] 11:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

* In which generations can berry juice and/or rare candies be obtained in this way?
* Is obtaining rare candies from shuckles even possible at all, or is it just a rumor?
* What kinds of berries can be converted into juice? Normal berries from Generation II can, of course, and the page for [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] say that they can be converted as well. Are there any others?

===Critical Hits and Evasion===
Critical Hits ignore stat changes that would be disadvantageous to the user, but does this include boosts to the foe's evasion and drops to the user's accuracy? If so, then in what generations?
:According to the [[critical hit]] article, discrimination among stat changes only occurs when calculating damage, which accuracy & evasion have no effect on (unless there's some obscure move or ability that I don't know about). —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 04:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

===Badges boosting stats===
Apparently badges in Generations I-III boost stats. How do they boost them? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:30, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what generations this applies to, but the badges that are said to boost a certain stat give a 9/8 multiplier to that stat so if you had a pokemon with a speed stat of 8 and obtained a THUNDERBADGE, it would immediately rise to 9. Any pokemon caught will immediately be boosted in their respective stats as well. When a pokemon levels up or recieves EV-enhancing vitamins, the pokemon's stats ''without'' the badge-boost will be affected and then the boost will be re-applied to the enhanced stat(s). Also, the boost affects moves (and abilities like speed boost) that raise or lower stats, so if the aforementioned pokemon used agility to double its speed, it would add 9 for the double in speed and another 1 (rounded from 1.125) for the badge-boost affecting the extra nine added by the move. [[User:AJRubyVersion|AJRubyVersion]] 00:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC) *and credit to gamefaqs.com[http://www.gamefaqs.com] for the beginning information and getting me into studying this independently*
:Turns out Ultimate Pokémon Center has the info for each generation. In Gen I and II, the stat is multiplied by 9/8, and in Gen II this boost is ignored if the attack is a critical hit and the attacker's Attack/Special Attack stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's Defense/Special Defense stat stage. In Gen III, the stat is multiplied by 1.1. From Gen IV onwards, there is no boost. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:15, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

<blockquote>
Editor's note: this section will require research for accuracy.

If the user is put to {{status|sleep}} or is {{status|freeze|frozen}} during the round that Mirror Coat is (or attempts to be) used, Mirror Coat's decreased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Mirror Coat can cause a critical hit, but the actual amount of damage dealt by it will not be altered by a critical hit. Mirror Coat will only counter the last hit of a multi-hit move and the last attack of a partial trapping move. Mirror Coat will always miss if called by {{m|Metronome}}.

Switching, full {{status|paralysis}}, and using a multi-turn move will not reset the last amount of damage done, allowing Mirror Coat to counter itself as well as self-inflicted recoil damage. However, if both active Pokémon use Mirror Coat during the same round, both attacks will fail. An attack absorbed by a {{m|Substitute}} can be countered for the amount of damage it would have done to the user had the user not had a substitute.

*'''Answer:''' Moves that Physically harm the opponent (generally ones that make [[contact]]), like {{m|Shadow Rush}} and {{m|Shadow Blitz}}, are Physical moves and therefore rely on the Attack and Defense stats. Shadow moves that don't physically hit the opponent, such as {{m|Shadow Fire}} and {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, are Special and use the Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense stats.

:''Status: Answered''
[[Character encoding in Generation III|In the Generation III games]] (primarily RSE), the word "POKéBLOCK" is written with 5 bytes (in hex: <code>55 56 57 58 59</code>). The first two are easily PO and Ké, but for the last three bytes, there's no way to tell just from "BLOCK" which byte corresponds to what exactly. If someone could mod and play a ROM (or RAM) so that 0x58 shows up (isolated from 0x57 and 0x59) in a town sign or someone's dialogue or something and see what that byte produces, we could know for sure what each of the bytes is.

(And while we're discussing [[Character encoding in Generation III|character bytes]], it might be neat if someone checked all the characters that are currently "unused" bytes, just to see if a few coherent characters turn up.

There's some oddity in the number of steps it takes to hatch an egg. The steps between egg hatches when holding multiple eggs is always divisible by 255 (minimum difference of 510), even if the steps between receiving them are not. It happens consistently when
*{{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Flame Body}} are on
*while holding multiple eggs from the same parents
*when some eggs are received while others are being held
There's probably a common counter for all eggs in the party, which, when it rolls over, decrements all egg counters by 1. However, this doesn't explain the "divisible by 255" part.

* Case C3C - 3 Stats (4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4) = 24/120

A quick check with the calculator and thankfully it adds up to 120/120. Now combining the possibilities ...
* 3 Stats inherited 3 random
** A1 + A2B + B2B + C1B + C3C =
*** 4+12+12+12+24 =
****64/120
* 2 Stats inherited 4 random
** A2A + B1B + B2A + C1A + C2B + C3A + C3B =

**** 51/120
* 1 Stat inherited 5 random
** B1A + C2A =
*** 1+4 =
**** 5/120

That makes an easier chart of
* 3 Stats = 8/15 or 53.333%
* 2 Stats = 17/40 or 42.500%
* 1 Stat = 1/24 or 04.167%

===[[Turnback Cave]]===
How does the game determine which kind of room comes next for each entrance? Is there any way to determine if the room the player is entering into will be a pillar room before entering it, or is getting through the cave in three rooms just dumb luck? Each room has four exits, the one the player came from warps them back to the entrance room, while the other three may take the player to several types of rooms filled with rocks or a pillar room.

*''Partial Answer:'' Go to Turnback Cave, take a random room in first room/pillar room, look for the odd rock pattern, approx. 70% of the time I get a pillar. --[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]]. 15:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

*''Rest of Answer:'' There is no way to get through the Cave like you can [[Lost Cave]]. I have gone through Turnback Cave 20 times now, I have learned that the exit to the pillar room is moved every time you reboot/enter a room. Also, the room count is reset every time you get back to the frist room. It is just dumb luck getting though the cave and into Girarina's room.

==={{a|Flash Fire}}===
;Status: Answered and added to the article
The current page says that Flash Fire will activate when the user is burned. However, Flash Fire nullifies Fire attacks, and thus the only moves that can possibly burn a Flash Fire user are {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Tri Attack}}. [[Flame Orb]] and {{a|Flame Body}} can also cause a burn.

'''The question''': Does a burn really activate Flash Fire, or did the contributor see an interaction between Will-O-Wisp and Flash Fire and interpreted it incorrectly?

Will-O-Wisp is possibly nullified, since it's a Fire move, and [http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/pokemondiamond/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-41882499&pid=925601 Google says] that Flame Orb does not get nullified, so the only case is Tri Attack. Does causing a burn with Tri Attack activate Flash Fire?

Burn does not activate Flash Fire. Tri-Attack, Flame Body, and flame orb, and being the victim of Synchronize/Psycho Shift)can cause burns while not being fire moves should the Pokemon with Flash Fire not be a Fire Type.(All legal Flash Fire Pokemon are Fire types, and thus Immune to burn anyways, which is probably why most would think burn activates it. Flash Fire can be put on Non-Fire types via Skill Swap, Role Play, Trace, or hacking). Similarly, Electivire, Jolteon, and Volt-Absorb Lanturn(As well as Ground Types) can still get Paralyzed by Non-Electric moves. [[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Some of my friends have told me that Shaymin's Sky Form isn't usable on wi-fi... we need to find out for sure. And to that end, test Rotom's forms. (Would I not be able to use an adorable specimen like him to fight with my friends online? ;_;)
*''Partial answer:'' When going to Wi-fi, Giratina's Platinum Orb is taken off and Shaymin reverts to Land Forme. It's part of the games coding based from what I read some time ago. *[[User:Tc26|tc]][[User talk:Tc26|26]]* 01:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

If this applies to the forms of Shaymin and Giratina,it is probably because the forms aren't programmed into the Diamond and Pearl versions.In order to be able to interact with D/P,this has to be done.Therefore I find it safe to assume that Rotom will also reverse into it's normal form.
[[User:Uxie legend]] 15:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Shaymin's Sky Forme is allowed on Wi-Fi in some way. On the page for Platinum version, there is an image of a Wi-Fi battle with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

It's most likely a Local Wireless battle. The forme lockout only applies to Wi-Fi as of now. The alternate formes work fine using local wireless, even when playing against D/P users. The forms work in D/P by having Platinum sorta Patch D/P with knowledge of the items and stats(Though the sprites will look like their normal forme on the D/P user's end. This patching also makes Hypnosis have 60% accuracy over D/P's 70%). I've also seen people able to bypass the Wi-Fi forme lockout using cheats as well, so it has nothing to do with D/P incompatibilities[[User:JoeTE|Joe T.E.]] 18:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:In addition to this, the "patching" only works if the player of Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver is the host of the local wireless battle.

:''Status: Answered''
Different sites give different percentages by which damage is reduced with this ability, and from the talk page, this still isn't resolved. What exactly is the correct factor?

I once did a Damage calculation where Solid Rock was considered to lower Super Effective Damage by 2/3rds(1.33 over 2x, and 2.66 over 4)(It was a Max Special Attack Kyogre in Rain using Water Spout on both Solid Rock Pokemon after having a 2.5 Increase to Special Defenses, and Light Screen up, with Camerupt and Rhyperior having Max HP and some Special Defense EV's as well, so that they would survive with about 1-10 HP left afterwards)and after testing it in actual gameplay, it did just as much damage as my calculator estimated it would. All my other calculations using the 2/3rds modifier usually matched up with gameplay to a T. I believe 2/3rds damage reduction is the accurate modifier.

For the most part, if there's a discrepancy between versions (e.g. Hypnosis has 70% accuracy in D/P but 60% in Pt/HG/SS), the game uses the host version to settle the dispute (e.g. if Diamond is the host, Hypnosis has 70% accuracy; if Platinum is the host, it has 60% accuracy).

*If a Japanese and an English game link up, is this still the case? In [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 this post], it's stated that the English version always takes precedence, but he doesn't state which game is the host.

Do these characters cap at their original max value (80/70/30/20; meaning if you spoke to them for two weeks straight [140 points accumulated], then ignored them for five days, a character with a 20 point value would vanish), or do they obtain a surplus and stick around for as long as the gained points allow?

=== Evolution and Abilities in Gen VI ===

[[Personality value#Ability]] says: ''In Generation VI, however, a Pokémon from an earlier generation will keep its original Ability slot even if it evolves.'' ...What does "Ability slot" mean?

I'm sure the original person who added that meant that, if a (say) {{p|Paras}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Effect Spore}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Dry Skin}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, it will still have Effect Spore after it evolves into Parasect (in contrast to Gen IV or V, when Parasect would have gotten its "proper" Ability, Dry Skin).

But the person's phrasing confuses me. Is Gen VI's mechanic simply to allow a Pokémon to keep an Ability as long as it can? That is, if a {{p|Venonat}} is transferred from Gen III (where its only Ability was {{a|Compound Eyes}}) to Gen VI (where it has a second Ability, {{a|Tinted Lens}}), if its personality value is odd so that it "should" have its (new) second Ability, will it evolve into a {{p|Venomoth}} (who has Abilities {{a|Shield Dust}} and Tinted Lens) with Tinted Lens like it "should" have, since it can't keep Compound Eyes? Or...would it keep its ''first'' Ability (its "Ability slot"?) if it evolves and end up with Shield Dust? (You can check if a Venonat "should" have its second Ability by test-evolving a Gen III Venonat in Gen IV or V. If it becomes a Venomoth with Tinted Lens, then you can reset the game and transfer the Venonat to Gen VI to test the same thing in Gen VI.)

So a Venonat caught it Gen III that has an odd personality value will evolve into a Venomoth with Tinted Lens in Generation IV and V; if that same Venonat is sent to Gen VI without evolving it, its Ability slot is stuck as the first slot (except using an Ability Capsule), so evolving it won't change the Ability slot to the second Ability Tinted Lens, but keep the same Ability slot resulting in Shield Dust. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

??? (type)

2014-08-02T11:37:08Z

Galladeon: /* Arceus */ Keckleon changing types has no bearing on it, as it doesn't change sprites/form on type change. Arceus does.

''For other uses of question marks in the [[Pokémon games]], see [[Question marks]].''
----
{{types|???}}
The '''??? type''' (Japanese: '''？？？タイプ''' ''??? type'') is a [[type]] which exists in the generations from [[Generation II]] until [[Generation IV]]. It is not present from [[Generation V]] onward.

==Battle properties==
{{typebattle|type=unknown}}

==Characteristics==
The ??? type does not exist in Generation {{gen|I}}. It exists only in Generations {{gen|II}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} solely to be the type of {{pkmn|Egg}}s and the [[Status moves|status move]] {{m|Curse}}. Unlike other types, the ??? type does not have any weaknesses or resistances.

Issues arise if damaging moves are hacked to be of this type in the Generation II or III games. Since it was considered neither a [[physical move|physical]] nor a [[special move|special]] move, the damage dealt by a ???-type move was minimal{{fact}}, even if the move had the highest possible base power.

==In the games==
===Curse===
The move {{m|Curse}} was given the ??? type when introduced in [[Generation II]], likely because of its mysterious nature: it is so far the only move which completely differs in its use between Pokémon of different types. It was retyped as {{type|Ghost}} move in [[Generation V]]. It is a {{type|Normal}} move in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series.

===Eggs===
[[Pokémon Egg]]s are displayed as being ???-type in [[Generation III]] on their status screen; this is likely because, like all other data, information about a Pokémon Egg is supposed to be sparse, including its [[original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number|ID number]]. This information does not appear in [[Generation II]], which uses a special status screen for Pokémon Eggs that is different from that of Pokémon, and was removed in [[Generation IV]], when the section of a Pokémon's status screen that displays type was separated from where it was met. From Generation IV on, Eggs are counted as {{type|Normal}} Pokémon by the game.{{fact}}

===Weather Ball===
[[File:Weather Ball XD Unknown.png|thumb|200px|right|???-type {{m|Weather Ball}} in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]]]
{{m|Weather Ball}}'s type changes depending on the weather condition. If Weather Ball is used when the field is under effect of {{weather|Shadow Sky}}, Weather Ball changes to a ???-type move. Despite this, if a Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}} is hit with this move under these conditions, it will be changed to a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

===Arceus===
[[File:493-Unknown.png|frame|left|Normal-color sprite for ???-type Arceus]]
{{p|Arceus}} has the Ability {{a|Multitype}}, which changes its type and appearance depending on the [[Plate]] it is holding. Likely as a precaution for Arceus hacked to be ???-type, a ???-type sprite of Arceus is present in {{5v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}; however, it is never used without hacking. It is also likely that this ???-type Arceus was made so that Arceus wouldn't crash the game whenever it tried using {{a|Multitype}} to change its type.
{{-}}

===Type change===
In [[Generation IV]], if a pure {{type|Flying}} Pokémon uses {{m|Roost}}, it becomes a ???-type Pokémon until the end of the turn. However, in Generation IV, all Flying-type Pokémon have two types (except {{p|Arceus}}, which is unable to learn {{m|Roost}}). To obtain a ???-type Pokémon, the {{player}} must change a Pokémon to be a pure Flying-type Pokémon (with {{a|Color Change}}, {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}), followed by using {{m|Roost}}. In [[Generation V]], if a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses {{m|Roost}}, it becomes a pure {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

The game will not allow the player to use {{m|Conversion}} to convert to the ??? type. {{m|Curse}}, the only move of this type, will be ignored by Conversion, so that a Pokémon with only Curse and Conversion will result in Conversion failing.

==Other uses==
===Unrevealed types===
On official material, the ??? type is often used to denote a type that has not yet been revealed. Leading up to the release of Pokémon X and Y, Sylveon's type was listed as ??? on official material until its actual type was revealed to be {{t|Fairy}}.

==Retirement==
The ??? type is not present in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games. This was possibly because making exceptions for a type that is used solely by a single, non-damaging move in the case that [[cheating|hackers]] would alter a Pokémon or move and [[game freeze|crash their game]] had become tiresome. Considering that the only other "official" uses of the ??? type had been the unavailable form of {{p|Arceus}} and the typing of Eggs in [[Generation III]], the type itself was essentially useless.

==Trivia==
* This is the only type to not have any Pokémon with it as a type.
* This is the only type to have been retired.

:We have to make an extreme amount of modifications to our existing tables and infoboxes in order to accommodate Mega Evolutions. Although we try to be as current and up to date as possible, we also want to only have to mess with the coding for high use templates as few of times as possible, as the wiki will have to force itself to update every single page using the templates, thus causing the site to slow down.

::I will never understand this site's policies... [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 19:21, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Totally agree. It sometimes seems on wikis (not just this one), that things that would be an easy fix, at least temporarily, until the permanent thing is decided upon are not done, leaving the wiki with outdated information, which will only turn away those who are looking for it, and they will go to other places instead. Furthermore, even though wikis are supposed to be "community encyclopedias", it often seems the mods have all the power in deciding how and when things are to be done, even if several regular users express the wish for things to be different. (Again not talking just about Bulbapedia). I just tell myself it will be fixed eventually, and if things still aren't right, the pages will eventually get unlocked, and I can fix it then. [[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 14:45, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
:Maybe everything could be working with just a few workarounds, but there is a reason why we are not using them. Previously, there hasn't been a Pokémon who could evolve two times and then temporarily evolve a third time just for battle and revert back its final evolution afterwards. Because of that, the templates were never originally programmed to support more than what was already needed since there was no point in doing so at the time, in addition to potentially and unnecessarily slowing down the wiki if it was added to the template. This is why we are currently waiting on the updated templates. We don't want to treat the Mega Evolutions like they are just a form change, especially for those who do have a form change already present in the games. Not to mention that we want to have everything looking nice and in a way that doesn't cause interference with other parts of the wiki. Templates can be coded to do events that they normally would not have to do, such as adding an article to a category if a specific value is true or passes a certain limit. The Pokémon articles rely heavily on this so that the information can be easily added, confirmed, and automatically replaced if there is an issue or mistake. In addition, Archaic is the webmaster of the site and is in charge with keeping the site running efficiently. After him are the other Webmasters, Werdnae as the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board, the Bureaucrats, and so on. Likely, the members of the staff had to make a decision when the Mega Evolution were revealed to keep all the articles as close as possible as to how they were until the PokémonInfobox template could be updated to support everything that we now know. That way, everything could be tested and corrected before the games were release and it would be checked to prevent interference with other parts of the wiki. So, I would assume that when October comes around, the new PokémonInfobox template should already be up and running, which is the goal since we want everything running before the games come out. Hopefully, this will be able to explain what is going on in the background and why things are proceeding as they are. :) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 17:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

== mega evolution seem similar to something else? ==
Hey not sure if this was the right place to mention this or not, but as a long time fan of Pokemon AND digimon, I cant help but draw similarities between mega evolution, and digivolution from the digimon anime. I only mention this as a matter of curiosity. In the digimon anime, a digimon would digivolve to a higher form during battle, before reverting to they're original form after the battle had ended. I just thought the similarity was worth noting.[[User:Silverfin007|Silverfin007]] ([[User talk:Silverfin007|talk]]) 14:55, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Mega Evolving ==

As we now know that Mega Evolution occurs when a Pokémon able to Mega Evolve holds a Mega Stone and a specific button is pressed on-screen during battle, as proved yesterday on the Pokémon Game Show demo version of Pokémon X and y, in a photo that was taken, where the in-battle button was showcased. Should the text that states - "In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone, and meet a currently unspecified other condition." not be changed to "In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone, and the player must select the Mega Evolution button whilst in battle."--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

::*Good, thanks. That's all I needed. It now is just a matter of the admins getting the time to add this, but I think they will do that once they get a few more things figured out, including any template updates, 'cause I hear they are trying to sort that out with the way things are changing with the games. (Makes sense, sprites will be replaced with 3D models...maybe, at least for [[Generation VI]] and [[Mega Evolutions]] might have to be implemented somehow, IDK.

== "Pokémon that Mega Evolve" Category? ==

*This might be a bit premature, but seeing that not all Pokémon Mega Evolve, should there be a category for all the ones that do? Just a suggestion as well. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 17:40, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
:Well, I personally think there should be a category like that, it'd be very useful. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 01:54, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

== I don't know how to upload pics here... ==
So plz someone who knows, add [http://i.imgur.com/1huQrYY.jpg this] to the article [[User:Sandubadear|Sandubadear]] ([[User talk:Sandubadear|talk]]) 01:53, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

== Misleading information ==

In the paragraph saying that in online battles and the Battle Maison the opponent's Pokemon gets to move first it a false statement. I always lead with my Mega Blastoise there and more often than not out speeds its opponents unless the opposing Pokemon is faster. Also I have watch some wifi battles posted on Youtube and have seen Mega Evolutions move before the opponent.

I think this may need to be changed. --[[User:Zdude0127|Zdude0127]] ([[User talk:Zdude0127|talk]]) 05:05, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

== 100 BST increase? ==

Alakazam's page claims that Alakazam has a BST of 500, but Mega Alakazam has only 590. Assuming that page is correct, this one isn't. Ampharos also goes from 500 to 610. Those are the only exceptions, so it's entirely possible that there was an error calculating them, but I dunno. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 05:41, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

A lot of the Mega Evolutions on this page don't have a picture/sprite for them. Can someone please put them in? [[User:Functioning Blaziken|Functioning Blaziken]] ([[User talk:Functioning Blaziken|talk]]) 15:21, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, those are missing because official art for them hasn't yet been released, so we don't have any. I don't know why we aren't using screenshots, but that's why there's no artwork for them, at least.

:Not at all. Beyond perhaps mentioning that shinies Mega Evolve shiny, shininess is entirely irrelevant to Mega Evolution. If someone really wants to know what a Mega Pokemon looks like shiny, they can look at the Pokemon's page (...once we get Gen VI sprites/whatever, that is). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

== Ability of Pokémon before Mega Evolution ==

We should really have a column in the "Before Mega Evolution" section with the Pokémon's standard in-game abilities listed at the least. [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] ([[User talk:Dialgafan1|talk]]) 18:17, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

== Template suggestion ==

I know we've been avoiding treating Mega Evolution like "evolution" per se, since it's only in-battle, but even form changes — including only-in-battle ones like {{p|Castform}}'s — have their forms listed in the "evolution" template above their sprite galleries. Would it not be prudent to include Mega Evolutions in these templates, with ↔ instead of → and with "Mega Evolution" instead of "first evolution" or "second evolution"? And once we get all the Mega Stone images, we could use those for the icons. Is this a good idea? If not, shouldn't we remove forms like Castform's from the evolution template?

== Trivia? ==

Is it worth noting that Charizard and Mewtwo are the only Pokémon to receive more than one Mega Form? ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
:No. Since there are more than one of them, there isn't an "only". [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:05, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
::I meant as in the only Pokémon to currently have two or more Mega Forms available to them. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:50, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
:: And he meant that since there are more than one that using the word "only" is incorrect. With how few Pokémon can Mega Evolve, there being more than one that can do something makes it not notable. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 16:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

== Something unique about Mega Blaziken ==

Is it trivia worthy to note that Blaziken is the only Pokémon that gained a Mega Evolution and is not found in any of the Kalos Pokédexes? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 23:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

== This Article is Incomplete??? Also Rest and Sleep Talk work normally ==

Ok, Maybe its real early here and I can't get my English reading skills up to par, but what the heck is being asked in that Diglet banner?

Also, in case my reading of it was correct, I just taught my Lucario rest and Sleep Talk, and they both work normally. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 15:05, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
:The banner appears to say that we don't know if Sleeping or Frozen Pokémon can Mega-Evolve, and if they can't, if Sleep Talk or Snore would allow a sleeping Pokémon to do so. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 18:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
::I know for a fact Paralysis and Sleep has no effect on preventing Mega Evolution. I'm not sure about frozen Pokémon, but the article already states that status ailments have no effect on mega evolution. Also you can choose to Mega Evolve and select the move Sleep talk and it will work as normal. So I think the banner should be taken down. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 23:50, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia? ==

Is it worth noting that even though mega evolution was introduced in X/Y, none of the new pokemon introduced in those games can mega-evolve?
[[User:Pmawhorter|Pmawhorter]] ([[User talk:Pmawhorter|talk]]) 17:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
: Didn't someone say in an interview that this was deliberate, so they didn't end up designing fully evolved Pokemon that felt incomplete? That might be worth mentioning. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] ([[User talk:Yamiidenryuu|talk]]) 15:39, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

== Mega Pokémon Sprites ==

I was just on the list of Pokémon by base stats page and noticed that Mega Evolved Pokémon are using their normal form's sprite instead of the Mega Evolution's sprite. Have the Mega Evolution sprites been uploaded yet? Shouldn't the articles use these sprites instead of the normal one, after all there is a sprite for each of Deoxys' forms. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:04, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

== Mega Latias & Mega Latios ==

I was just wondering, has Mega Latias and Mega Latios been confirmed? I don't think they have, unless I missed something (which is possible). I know Diance has been confirmed, but like one person asked on Diance's page if the other 2 rumored legends are basically confirmed cause Diance was, should a page be created for them and they said no not until confirmation, would't the same apply to Mega Latias and Mega Latios. Again, unless I missed something, shouldn't they not be on here? Demers-Vachon 06:51, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

admin decision. action replay cheats. plenty of trustworthy people have the lati@site hence why they're under "unreleased". hoopa and volcanion remain unconfirmed until a similar situation happens. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 07:59, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Ah ok, I was just wondering, thanks for answering back! :-) Demers-Vachon 11:17, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

== Mega evolution table ==

Could we change the 'X color' in the Mega Evolution table to 'X color light?' I think it'd be a little easier on the eyes. '''[[User:FireGambit|FireGambit]]''' ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 15:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

== Original Abilities (again) ==

I know this has been brought up several times already, but is there some reason at this point the original abilities aren't in the table? The original concern seems to have been uncertainty as to how HAs interacted but it seems pretty sorted that they don't, so... [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] ([[User talk:Ikarishipper900|talk]]) 03:24, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
:Pokémon have several possible Abilities (usually 3), whereas Mega Evolutions have only one. That's why they weren't originally added, but I don't think it means that they cannot be. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:41, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

== Strong Bond ==

This page says, "Mega Evolution cannot be achieved if there is not a strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon", so how strong does the bond have to be to Mega Evolve and should we put it on this page? Has anyone found out this yet? ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 01:28, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
:It's just a flavor thing in the game's script. It's not related to any game mechanics. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 01:37, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
::Oh, it isn't? So it just says so in the script and there isn't a set [[friendship]] value? It would have been kind of cool if it was that way in my opinion. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 14:56, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

== Fleshing out ==

I was considering fleshing out the body of this page by making it similar to the listing on [[Form differences]]. Each section would started with brief instructions on how to obtain their respective Mega Stone, including whether the Mega Stone upgrade is required or not. It would then compare the base form and the mega form(s) as seen here:

{| style="margin:auto;"
|
{{Compare|name=Blastoise|type=Water|image=009Blastoise|ab=Torrent|abd=Rain Dish|HP=79|Attack=83|Defense=100|SpAtk=85|SpDef=105|Speed=78}}
|
{{Compare|name=Blastoise|forme=Mega Blastoise|type=Water|image=009Blastoise-Mega|ab=Mega Launcher|how={{color2|000|Mega Stone#Blastoisinite|Blastoisinite}}|HP=79|Attack=103|Defense=120|SpAtk=135|SpDef=115|Speed=78}}
|}

Obviously, this would have a large impact on how the page looks, so I wanted to see if I could get anymore opinions and suggestions. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 16:11, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

:Sounds like a good idea to me. It's the main page on the concept, after all, so having stats and comparisons here seems like a rational choice. Only thing I don't completely agree with is the Stone locations since that's all on the [[Mega Stone]] article, and the locations of the stones don't matter to the evolutions themselves.

== MegaEvo evolution template ==

[http://i.imgur.com/SmFWzZx.png LINK] What are you thinking? Is it possible to make something like this template? I already have firebugged a page, but maybe it is a good idea... [[User:Asmod96|Asmod96]] ([[User talk:Asmod96|talk]]) 15:58, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Should it be worth mentioning that both of the Pokémon that have multiple Mega Evolutions so far are the first Pokémon to ever show up in the anime?

Charizard was the first Pokémon seen in the first Japanese opening of the anime, while Mewtwo (and Mew) were the first seen in all other countries. Now of course, there will be more Pokémon with multiple Mega Evolutions added in the future (we can assume as much) so that might not be important later on, but I think it's something worth noting for now. {{unsigned|BlackButterfree}}
:Possibly, but I don't think it's notable enough to be added onto the page. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(Talk)''']] 08:36, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

== Mega Groudon and Mega Kyogre? ==

So Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and have been announced, and looking at the box covers, it would appear Groudon and Kyogre have been given Mega Evolutions much like the Eon Duo.

Should this be added to the article (I'm guessing not) and if not, should we protect this article to prevent the addition? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:34, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

:The page probably should be protected but there isn't any evidence to suggest that Groudon or Kyogre have Mega Evolutions at this moment in time.--[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 21:38, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

[[File:383Groudon.png|thumb|left|240px|original form]][[File:Omega_Ruby_EN_boxart.png|thumb|right|240px|box art]]

[[File:382Kyogre.png|thumb|left|240px|original form]][[File:Alpha_Sapphire_EN_boxart.png|thumb|right|240px|box art]]

::Actually there is visual evidence. The Box art for the games clearly show that Groudon and Kyogre underwent a transformation, and given this gen's mechanics, common sense says its a Mega Evolution.

Groudon's Teeth and Spikes become black, and his tail becomes longer (as evident with the tail spikes being spaced further apart) with the tip fanning out more.

Kyogre's tail becomes morphed with new groves and it has larger as well as new markings as well. Some of its red markings also have become blue.

But regardless the page should be protected, as should all pages relating to RS, these two and the mega evolution mechanics.[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 22:11, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

:::"Common sense" and "visual evidence" are not confirmation. They're speculation. Apart from the new markings on Kyogre's forehead, I'd be willing to attribute everything you just listed to artistic license to make the boxart look cooler, not necessarily any actual redesign/form change/Mega Evolution/other in-game mechanic.

Status condition

2013-02-21T17:33:36Z

Galladeon: /* Heal Block */

{{redirect|Status|the move category|status move}}
'''Status ailments''' affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s ability to battle. There are three kinds of status. The first are non-volatile, the second are volatile, and the third lasts while a Pokémon is in battle. The [[Pokérus]] is a similar but unrelated concept.

==Non-volatile status==
{{split|{{redlink|Status problem}}|section}}
Non-volatile status ailments are status ailments that will remain until a Pokémon is healed at a [[Pokémon Center]], a specific [[status ailment healing item|curative item]] is used, or, in case of freeze and sleep, after a certain number of turns during the battle. A Pokémon inflicted with a non-volatile status will still be affected after being pulled out of battle (unless they have the {{a|Natural Cure}} Ability), and after a battle is over. It is only possible for a Pokémon to be afflicted by one of these at a time. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, certain [[Ability|Abilities]] will cause or prevent them, as well as benefit from them.

In battle, in the first two generations the status problem icon will replace the level, whereas from [[Generation III]] onwards it is shown to the left of the HP bar.

===Burn===
[[File:Ursaring Burn status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is burned]]
{{main|Burn (status ailment)}}
The burn condition (BRN) halves damage dealt by a Pokémon's physical moves (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Guts}} Ability, where this condition raises Attack by 50%). Additionally, at the end of a turn, the Pokémon loses 1/8 its maximum hit points (in [[Generation I]] or in the case of Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Heatproof}}, the Pokémon loses 1/16 of its maximum hit points). Normally {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}} Ability cannot be burned; however, if a Pokémon is burned then has its type changed to Fire or its Ability changed to Water Veil, the burn will remain. All {{DL|Burn (status ailment)|Moves|moves which can cause burn}} are Fire-type except for {{m|Tri Attack}} ([[Generation II]] onwards), {{m|Fling}} when the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Flame Orb}} is held, {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Ice Burn}}. In Generation V, Pokémon glow red when afflicted with burn.

===Freeze===
[[File:Frozen Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} is frozen]]
{{main|Freeze (status ailment)}}
The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. From [[Generation II]] onward, freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|sunny}} weather; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

{{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves; however, they can be frozen by Tri Attack and Secret Power. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. All {{DL|Freeze (status ailment)|Moves|moves which cause freezing}} are Ice type except Tri Attack (Generation II onwards) and Secret Power (when used in snow or ice; [[Generation IV]] only). It is also the only non-volatile status which has no move that causes it 100% of the time. The only move to provide more than a 10% chance of freezing is {{m|Secret Power}} when used on snow or ice, which provides a 30% chance. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.

A frozen {{DL|Form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.

===Paralysis===
[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png|right|thumb|250px|{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} is paralyzed]]
{{main|Paralysis (status ailment)}}
The paralysis condition (PAR) causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time. Additionally, its Speed is reduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} Ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%). Many {{DL|Paralysis (status ailment)|Moves|moves that cause paralysis}} are of the {{t|Electric}} type. {{type|Ground}} Pokémon can be paralyzed, but not by Electric-type moves or by the [[Battle Arcade]]. In Generation V, Pokémon glow yellow when afflicted with paralysis and their animation will be slowed significantly.

===Poison===
[[File:Poisoned Pokémon.png|left|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Gliscor}} is poisoned]]
{{main|Poison (status ailment)}}
The poison condition (PSN) causes a Pokémon to lose 1/8 of its maximum hit points every turn (in [[Generation I]], it loses 1/16). Normally {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and Pokémon with the {{a|Immunity}} Ability cannot be poisoned; however, if a Pokémon is poisoned then has its type changed to Steel or Poison or its Ability changed to Immunity, the poison will remain. In addition, in Generation II, Steel-type Pokémon can be poisoned by {{m|Twineedle}}. A Pokémon with the {{a|Poison Heal}} Ability will gradually recover health instead when poisoned.

A poisoned Pokémon also loses 1 hit point for every four steps taken while not in battle. In [[Generation IV]], a Pokémon whose HP is reduced to 1 via poison outside of battle will have the poison status removed. In [[Generation V]], no HP is lost outside of battle, making it similar to a burn but without the attack reduction. All {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Moves|moves which can poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Twineedle}}, {{m|Secret Power}}, and {{m|Fling}} (which poisons only if {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Poison Barb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with poison.

===={{anchor|Badly poisoned|Bad poison}}====
The badly poisoned condition is caused by {{m|Toxic}} and {{m|Poison Fang}}, as well as by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} after it is used twice. It is the same as Poison except its damage begins at 1/16 and grows an additional 1/16 every turn, taking 2/16 max hit points the second turn, then 3/16 the third turn, and 4/16 the fourth, and so on. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], switching a Pokémon out of active battle would change the badly poisoned condition to normal poison. In [[Generation III]] and beyond, the "badly poisoned" effect will remain even after switching a Pokémon out of battle and back in, but the damage counter will be reset. After a battle is over, the "badly poisoned" status will become a normal poison. All {{DL|Poison (status ailment)|Moves that badly poison|moves which can badly poison}} are of the Poison-type except {{m|Fling}} (which badly poisons only if {{DL|In-battle effect item|Toxic Orb}} is held). In Generation V, Pokémon glow purple when afflicted with bad poison.

===Sleep===
[[File:Sleeping Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Heracross}} sleeping]]
{{main|Sleep (status ailment)}}
A Pokémon that is asleep (SLP) is immobilized and can only use the moves {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}.

Sleep lasts for a randomly chosen duration of 1 to 3 turns in {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3698857&postcount=770 RNG Research: Battle RNG - Sleep Duration]</ref> In all other games, except the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, sleep lasts 1 to 5 turns. In the Japanese version of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the minimum and maximum sleep count is 1 turn higher, lasting 2 to 6 turns.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=648215&postcount=24 DP Battle Tower Records]</ref> A Pokémon can inflict self-induced sleep using the move {{m|Rest}}, which will restore all of the Pokémon's health and remove any other non-volatile status ailment. A {{DL|Level|Disobedience|disobedient}} Pokémon may also nap during battle. There are eleven moves that cause sleep.

In Generation I, a Pokémon that wakes up is not able to attack that same turn, but since Generation II, it is able to attack as soon as the sleep wears off. In Generation V, a Pokémon's sleep counter is reset to its original amount when switched out; this also applies for self-induced sleep. Also in Generation V, Pokémon close their eyes while sleeping and they move slower as well.
{{-}}

==Volatile status==
A volatile status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status ailment (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile ailments, volatile battle statuses and a non-volatile aliment at the same time.

===Confusion===
[[File:Snivy Confused Status.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Ash|Snivy}} confused]]
The confused condition causes a Pokémon to hurt itself in its confusion 50% of the time. The damage is done as if the Pokémon attacked itself with a 40-power typeless physical attack.

Confusion wears off after 1-4 attacking turns. This means that turns recharging, such as after using {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and turns unable to attack, such as from {{status|paralysis}}, will not lower the remaining number of turns of confusion. However, a sleeping Pokémon may hurt itself in confusion if using a move such as {{m|Snore}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Multi-turn attacks such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}} require that confusion be checked both turns, further reducing the chance of successful attack.
[[File:Confusion anime DP.png|thumb|left|{{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} confused]]
Pokémon with the {{a|Own Tempo}} Ability are immune to being confused. Confusion can be cured with [[Persim Berry|Persim Berries]], the {{DL|Flute|Yellow Flute}}, and, [[Generation II]] onwards, items that cure all status ailments such as [[Status ailment healing item#Full Heal|Full Heal]]s and [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]]; it is the only volatile status ailment to be able to be cured by items that heal all status ailments.

Confusion is transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

A {{tc|Ninja Boy}} on {{rt|211|Sinnoh}} erroneously states that confusion only wears off if the Pokémon is switched out.

In the {{series|original}} of the anime, Pokémon showed no physical difference when confused. They would often get dizzy and miss their attacks as opposed to attacking themselves. In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Pokémon would get purple circles around their eyes as a sign of confusion and begin hurting themselves, or attacking their partner if in a [[Double Battle]]. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Pokémon's eyes become swirls and a circle of {{p|Torchic}} run around the confused Pokémon's head, with the confusion causing its attacks to miss. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, a Pokémon's eyes become stars and multiple stars spin around their head when they are confused.

===Curse===
[[File:Masked Man Gastly Curse.png|175px|thumb|right|{{p|Suicune}} is hurt by the Curse]]
If a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon uses {{m|Curse}}, the Pokémon it is used on loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn, and the user immediately loses half of their maximum hit points in exchange. A Pokémon afflicted by Curse cannot be healed except by switching out. If the victim of a Ghost-type Curse uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the health-sapping effect is transferred to its replacement. Also, in [[Generation II]], defeating the opponent will prevent the Pokémon it is used on taking damage from Curse on that turn.
[[File:Cyrus Weavile Embargo Adventures.png|150px|thumb|left|{{p|Spiritomb}} being prevented from using items]]
===Embargo===
A Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Embargo}} is unable to use its [[held item]] and its Trainer cannot use items on it (including [[Wonder Launcher]] items) for five turns. A Pokémon under the effect of Embargo cannot use {{m|Fling}}.

===Encore===
{{m|Encore}} forces the Pokémon to repeat its last attack for 2-5 turns in Generation II, 4-8 turns in Generations III and IV, and 3 turns in Generation V. In Generation V, if the Pokémon has {{m|Magic Coat}} active, the move will fail.

===Flinch===
[[File:Ash Chimchar flinch.png|thumb|{{AP|Chimchar}} flinching in fear]]
The flinch status is a one-turn status that prevents a Pokémon from attacking. A Pokémon can only flinch if the opponent attacks first. A Pokémon who is holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} or {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} has a 10% of causing a target to flinching when using certain moves; in Generation II and III, any move that deals damage but does not have a secondary effect; in Generation IV, one of several moves on a list exclusive to the two items; in Generation V, any move that deals damage. Pokémon with the {{a|Inner Focus}} Ability are also immune to this. Most [[List of moves that cause flinching|moves that cause flinching]] are [[physical move]]s. Pokémon with {{a|Steadfast}} still flinch, but gain {{stat|Speed}} each time they do so.

It is known as cringing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]].

===Heal Block===
[[File:Mars Bronzor Heal Block Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Blissey}} being prevented from healing]]
A Pokémon affected by {{m|Heal Block}} is prevented from healing for five turns. It cannot use {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Heal Order}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Milk Drink}}, {{m|Slack Off}}, or {{m|Synthesis}} while it is under effect. It is unaffected by {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, and {{m|Heal Pulse}}. The player can still use items such as [[Potion]]s to heal the Pokémon.

The moves {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Drain Punch}}, {{m|Horn Leech}} and {{m|Leech Seed}} will still inflict damage, but will not restore {{stat|HP}} when the user is affected by Heal Block.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} will take damage, as opposed to healing, from {{t|Electric}}- or {{type|Water}} attacks respectively while Heal Block is in effect. A {{status|poisoned}} Pokémon with {{a|Poison Heal}} is neither healed nor damaged.

In Generation V, Pokémon affected by Heal Block's [[Leftovers]] are negated.

===Identification===
[[File:Ash Noctowl Foresight effect.png|left|thumb|150px|{{AP|Noctowl}}'s Foresight identifying {{p|Gastly}}]]
The opponent's evasion modification will not affect the accuracy of a Pokémon that uses {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or {{m|Miracle Eye}}. In addition, a {{t|Normal}}- or {{type|Fighting}} move used by a Pokémon that has used Foresight or Odor Sleuth will affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{type|Psychic}} moves used by a Pokémon that has used Miracle Eye will affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

==={{anchor|attraction|Infatuation}}===
[[File:Ash Snivy Attract effect.png|thumb|right|{{AP|Oshawott}} is infatuated]]
A Pokémon that is infatuated cannot attack 50% of the time, even against Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with. It is caused when {{m|Attract}} is used on an opponent of the opposite [[gender]], may be caused when a Pokémon makes [[contact]] with a Pokémon with {{a|Cute Charm}} of the opposite gender, and is caused to the target of the infatuation when a Pokémon holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Destiny Knot}} is infatuated. Pokémon with the {{a|Oblivious}} Ability are immune to infatuation. Infatuation cannot be passed with {{m|Baton Pass}}. Infatuation will end as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is attracted to is removed from the battle. It can also be removed by consuming a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Mental Herb}} or playing a {{DL|Flute|Red Flute}}.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, {{DL|Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon|Volatile status conditions|Infatuation}} prevents the Pokémon from doing anything for 5-6 turns, and causes linked moves to cease.

===Nightmare===
{{m|Nightmare}} only affects a sleeping Pokémon. The sleeping Pokémon loses ¼ of its maximum hit points every turn. If the sleeping Pokémon awakens, then the nightmare will no longer be in effect. If Baton Pass switches in a Pokémon that is not asleep (via {{m|Sleep Talk}}), then the nightmare will no longer be in effect.

===Partially trapped===
[[File:Jessie Seviper Wrap.png|thumb|right|Gastrodon being trapped by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Wrap}}]]
When a Pokémon is hit by {{m|Magma Storm}}, {{m|Sand Tomb}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, or {{m|Fire Spin}}, it becomes partially trapped. Until Generation V, this lasted 2-5 turns unless a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}} was held; in Generation V, partial trapping lasts 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held. If the user of a partial trapping move is holding a Grip Claw, the move will last for 5 turns. A Pokémon can be affected by any number of partial trapping moves at a time. If a [[Binding Band]] is held by the user, the damage done at the end of each turn will increase from 1/16 of the target's maximum HP to 1/8.

====Generation I====
In Generation I, partial trapping moves inflict damage for 2-5 turns. There is a 37.5% chance that they will last 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that they will last 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that they will last 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that they will last 5 turns. Though technically only the first attack can be a critical hit, every attack during the duration will do the same amount of damage. During this turn duration, the target will be unable to attack, and if the user of the move attacks before the target when used, the target will be unable to attack during that round as well.

Damage done by a partial trapping move's continuing duration is done after recurrent damage. If the user switches out before the turn duration ends, the target will be unable to attack during that turn. If the target switches out before the turn duration ends, the partial trapping move will automatically be used against the incoming Pokémon, deducting an additional PP from the move. If at such a time the partial trapping move has 0 PP, it will still be used against the incoming Pokémon. After that use, the current PP of the move will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

Even if the partial trapping move misses, it will negate the recharge turn normally required for Hyper Beam. Additionally, if the user of the partial trapping move attacks before the user of Hyper Beam during a recharge turn and the use of the partial trapping move misses, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its current PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

In-game, the target will get to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration, and will attack the incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the player switches before the duration is over.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, it is possible to select a move during each turn of the partial trapping move's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. The partial trapping move will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

====In Generation II - IV====
The target is now able to attack during a partial trapping move's duration, and can act normally. Instead, they inflict 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. They also trap the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.

If a [[wild Pokémon]] uses a partial trapping move on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

If the user of the partial trapping move is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}, it can switch out.

If the user of the partial trapping move switches out, the move's effects end.

====Generation V====
All partial trapping moves now last 4-5 turns unless a Grip Claw is held, which causes the moves to last 5 turns. The item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}} increases the damage dealt from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP while trapped.

===Perish Song===
After three turns, all Pokémon who heard the {{m|Perish Song}} will faint, excluding Pokémon with the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability. Any Pokémon who heard it can avoid the effect of fainting if it is switched out before the three-turn count finishes. {{m|Baton Pass}} transfers the Perish Song countdown.

===Seeding===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Leech Seed effect.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Solrock}} affected by Leech Seed]]
Seeding can only be caused by {{m|Leech Seed}}. Each turn, a seeded Pokémon loses 1/8 (1/16 in [[Generation I]]) of its maximum hit points. The opponent is healed by the same amount. {{type|Grass}} Pokémon cannot be seeded.

If a Pokémon affected by Leech Seed uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, Leech Seed is transferred to its replacement, even if it is Grass-type. If the user of Leech Seed switches out or faints, the health granted by the effect is applied to the new replacement. There is no requirement for the Pokémon to use the move again, or even to know it.

Unlike in the games, {{m|Leech Seed}} does not appear to restore the health of the Pokémon that used the attack in the anime.
{{-}}

===Taunt===
A {{m|taunt}}ed Pokémon cannot use any non-damaging moves for three turns (two to four turns prior to Generation V). Pokémon using {{m|Substitute}} can still be afflicted with this status ailment.

===Telekinetic levitation===
[[File:Christie Gothita Telekinesis.png|thumb|A group of people being telekinetically levitated]]
A Pokémon telekinetically levitated by {{m|Telekinesis}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{a|Arena Trap}} for three turns. In addition, all other moves, except [[one-hit knockout moves]], hit the target regardless of {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}}; however, it does not allow moves to hit semi-invulnerable Pokémon.

The effect of Telekinesis is canceled when {{m|Gravity}} is used, the levitated Pokémon uses {{m|Ingrain}}, or the levitated Pokémon obtains an [[Iron Ball]]; Telekinesis cannot lift targets if Gravity is in effect, and will fail if used on a target that is rooted or holding an Iron Ball.

===Torment===
A {{m|torment}}ed Pokémon cannot use the same move twice in a row. If the Pokémon is holding a [[choice item]] or only has one move remaining with {{PP}}, it is forced to use {{m|Struggle}} every second turn.

===Trapped===
[[File:Lenora Watchog Mean Look effect.png|thumb|right|160px|[[Ash's Oshawott]] failing to return to its Poké Ball after being hit by Mean Look]]
A Pokémon successfully trapped by {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Shadow Hold}}, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, or {{a|Magnet Pull}} cannot switch until the Pokémon that used the move is defeated or switches. The trapped Pokémon can escape if it is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}; uses {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, or {{m|Baton Pass}}; or is successfully hit with {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, or {{m|Circle Throw}}. Prior to Generation V, if a Pokémon trapped by a move uses Baton Pass, the Pokémon brought out will be trapped instead; the effects of moves that prevent ordinary switching are no longer passed in Generation V. Being trapped also prevents fleeing.
{{-}}

==Volatile battle status==
{{split|{{redlink|Battle status}}|section}}
A volatile battle status will wear off when a Pokémon is taken out of battle or a battle is over. Many of these will also wear off after a number of turns pass. Since they aren't shown in battle as a status aliment (having an icon) a Pokémon can be affected with multiple volatile battle statuses, volatile ailments and a non-volatile aliment at the same time.

===Aqua Ring===
[[File:Skyla Swanna Aqua Ring.png|thumb|{{p|Swanna}} enveloped in a veil of water]]
When a Pokémon surrounds itself with a veil of water by using {{m|Aqua Ring}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Bracing===
[[File:Ash Heracross Endure.png|thumb|left|{{AP|Heracross}} bracing itself]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, it braces itself so that whenever it takes damage that turn it will always survive with at least 1HP. The [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], and Ability {{a|Sturdy}} all have similar effects.
{{right clear}}
===Center of attention===
[[File:Daisy Clefairy Courtney Vulpix Follow Me Tail Whip Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Clefairy}} drawing attention to itself]]
If a Pokémon becomes the center of attention by using {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}, it forces opposing Pokémon to target the user for the rest of the turn during [[Double Battle]]s and [[Triple Battle]]s.
{{left clear}}
===Defense Curl===
[[File:Ash Phanpy Defense Curl.png|thumb|left|{{AP|Phanpy}} curls up, ready to use {{m|Rollout}}]]
Using {{m|Defense Curl}} causes the power of {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Ice Ball}} to double for the Pokémon. This effect is not transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.
{{right clear}}
===Focus Energy===
[[File:Roark Cranidos Focus Energy.png|thumb|{{TP|Roark|Cranidos}} focusing its energy]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Focus Energy}}, its {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} rate quadruples. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Glowing===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Sky Attack}} becomes cloaked in light for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].
{{left clear}}
===Rooting===
[[File:Roxanne Cradily Ingrain Adventures.png|thumb|left|{{p|Cradily}} planting its roots]]
When a Pokémon plants its roots by using {{m|Ingrain}}, it restores 1/16th of its maximum HP every turn but cannot switch out or [[escape|flee]], even if hit by a move that would force this such as {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. If a {{type|Flying}} Pokémon or a Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} is rooted to the ground, it is susceptible to {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}. The Pokémon cannot be affected by {{m|Magnet Rise}} and {{m|Telekinesis}} and they are removed if active upon rooting. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Magic Coat===
[[File:Absol Magic Coat Adventures.png|thumb|{{p|Absol}} bouncing back an attack]]
A Pokémon shrouded with {{m|Magic Coat}} will reflect most status moves used against it or its side of the field back at the user during the turn it used the move. The Ability {{a|Magic Bounce}} reflects the same moves.

===Magnetic levitation===
[[File:Psychic Metagross Magnet Rise.png|thumb|left|{{p|Metagross}} levitating on magnetism]]
A Pokémon levitating on magnetism via {{m|Magnet Rise}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks for five turns. Like {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}, the user is immune to the damage of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and is unaffected by {{a|Arena Trap}}. Magnet Rise is completely negated by {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, and holding an [[Iron Ball]].

This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Minimize===
A Pokémon having used {{m|Minimize}} will take double damage if hit by the moves {{m|Steamroller}} or {{m|Stomp}} (though this behavior is not present in [[Generation I]]).

===Protection===
A Pokémon that uses {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}} will be impervious to attacks and negative status moves targeting them that turn except; if the protected Pokémon is hit by {{m|Feint}} or {{m|Shadow Force}}, which can both hit through protection, the Pokémon's protection is removed for the rest of the turn.

<center><gallery>
File:Trip Frillish Protect.png|Frillish protecting itself
File:Tyson Sceptile Detect dodge.png|Sceptile detecting Aggron's attack
</gallery></center>

===Recharging===
A Pokémon that successfully uses {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, or {{m|Roar of Time}} must recharge during the next turn. While recharging, the Pokémon cannot perform an action.

===Semi-invulnerable===
Several two-turn moves have a turn where a Pokémon becomes semi-invulnerable, and most moves will miss regardless of accuracy, even moves that never miss. If a Pokémon has been [[#taking aim|taken aim at]], the aimed Pokémon can still hit Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable turn. A Pokémon with {{a|No Guard}} can hit the Pokémon during their semi-invulnerable state, and a Pokémon with No Guard in the semi-invulnerable state can be hit by any Pokémon. In Generation I, semi-invulnerable Pokémon cannot avoid {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Transform}} and {{m|Bide}}, but can avoid Bide in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

Pokémon that use {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Bounce}} or {{m|Sky Drop}}, or are targeted by Sky Drop fly or are flown up high, and are vulnerable to {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hurricane}}. If the move {{m|Gravity}} is used, these moves cannot be used and any Pokémon in the air return to the ground with their move cancelled; due to [[Sky Drop glitch|a glitch]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, if Gravity is used while Sky Drop is in effect, only the user will be returned to the ground—the target will be permanently stuck airborne.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Dig}} burrow underground, and can be hit by {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Magnitude}} and {{m|Fissure}}.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Dive}} dive underwater, and can be hit by {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}.

Pokémon that have used {{m|Shadow Force}} suddenly disappear and there is no move that can hit these Pokémon without aiming or No Guard.

</gallery></center>

===Substitute===
[[File:Juniper Accelgor Substitute.png|thumb|{{p|Accelgor}} launching a substitute]]
The Pokémon that uses {{m|Substitute}} uses up to ¼ of its total HP (rounded down) to make a substitute which will absorb hits until it "breaks" (damage the substitute has taken is greater than the HP used to make it). From [[Generation II]] onward, substitutes block all status ailments and will immediately break if a one-hit knockout attack connects with them. In [[Generation I]], however, a substitute only blocks primary status ailments; attacks like {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Spore}} completely circumvent the substitute. Substitutes can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Taking aim===
[[File:Brandon Registeel Lock-On.png|thumb|left|[[Brandon's Regis|Registeel]] taking aim at its opponent]]
When a Pokémon uses {{m|Mind Reader}} or {{m|Lock-On}} to take aim at a target, the user's next damage-dealing move will hit that target without fail, even if the opponent uses a move that offers a turn of semi-invulnerability, such as {{m|Fly}}. This effect can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed.

===Taking in sunlight===
A Pokémon readying {{m|SolarBeam}} takes in sunlight for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]] or if used in {{weather|intense sunlight}}.

===Withdrawing===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Skull Bash}} withdraws it head for one turn, in which it cannot act. From Generation II onwards, this also boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}}. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].

===Whipping up a whirlwind===
A Pokémon readying {{m|Razor Wind}} whips up a whirlwind for one turn, in which it cannot act. This turn can be skipped with a [[Power Herb]].

==Trivia==
* If a Pokémon under a status ailment (such as a poisoned {{p|Cascoon}}) evolves, the condition will be kept even if the Pokémon gains a new [[type]] or [[Ability]] that would normally prevent it.

Move Tutor

2013-02-17T03:17:44Z

Galladeon: /* Stadium (English) */ while I'm sure this version was entirely intentional, I doubt the Japanese version was unintentional

A '''Move Tutor''' (Japanese: '''わざおしえ人''' ''Move Teacher'') is a [[non-player character]] who will teach a [[Pokémon]] [[moves]] that are not normally able to be learned through [[level]] up, [[TM]]s, or [[HM]]s. Move Tutors are found in [[Kanto]], the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and the [[Pokémon Stadium]]. They are not to be confused with [[move relearner]]s.

==Generation I Move Tutors==
===Stadium (Japanese)===
In the game known as [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Pokémon Stadium]] in Japanese that was only released in Japan, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}.

{{tutormv/header|Stad0|none|no}}
{{tutormv|Surf|Water|hm=03}}

===Stadium (English)===
In the international release of the game known as [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Pokémon Stadium]] in English, if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with only Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak with a {{p|Pikachu}} in his or her party and does not save during the tournament, the Pikachu can learn {{m|Surf}}. Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle and does not have to take part in the battle.

==Generation II Move Tutors==
===Crystal===
[[File:Move tutor.png|150px|right|thumb]]
In {{game|Crystal}}, an old man visits the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] every Wednesday and Saturday after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. He teaches three different moves for 4000 coins, two of which were [[TM]]s in [[Generation I]] and returned to that status in [[Generation III]], and one of which later became a TM with the other two. These moves are breedable in the same fashion as TMs and HMs.

==Generation III Move Tutors==
===FireRed and LeafGreen===
These Move Tutors are in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They do not appear in the [[Generation I]] games.

====Normal Move Tutors====
These tutors will teach a Pokémon a move otherwise unobtainable with the [[Generation III]] [[TM]] list. Many of the NPCs which gave a TM containing a move in [[Generation I]] that is no longer available in TM form in the current generation will directly teach the move they would have given instead. These can only be taught once.

====Special Move Tutors====
A woman at [[Boon Island]]'s [[Cape Brink]] will teach one move to each of the fully evolved Kanto starter Pokémon. She will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}} to {{p|Venusaur}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{m|Blast Burn}} to {{p|Charizard}}. The moves can only be taught to one of these three Pokémon once, and the Pokémon learning the move must have maximum [[friendship]].

==Generation IV Move Tutors==
===Diamond and Pearl===
There are two Move Tutors in Sinnoh—one on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} and one on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}. The Move Tutor on Route 210 teaches {{m|Draco Meteor}} to a Dragon-type Pokémon which has had its [[friendship]] maximized. Similar to the Cape Brink Move Tutor in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Route 228 Move Tutor will teach one of the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}} to a fully-evolved starter with maximum friendship. Unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be any of the twelve [[starter Pokémon]], but the move's type will always correspond with the Pokémon's primary type. Also unlike the Cape Brink tutor, it can be taught as many times as the player likes.

In {{game|Platinum}}, in addition to the Move Tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new Move Tutors are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}, and in the [[Survival Area]]. These Move Tutors accept [[shard]]s in return for their services, charging eight shards of various colors per move.

==Generation V Move Tutors==
===Black and White===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, there are four Move Tutors in Unova: one in [[Driftveil City]], one on {{rt|13|Unova}}, one in [[Opelucid City]] and one in [[Castelia City]]. A man in his house in Driftveil City teaches the newly-introduced {{DL|Move variations|Pledge moves}}, which can be combined with each other in double and triple battles for additional effects. As before, the elemental {{m|Hyper Beam}} variants can be taught to [[friendship|friendly]] fully-evolved [[starter Pokémon]] of each respective type, with the new Move Tutor being located on Route 13. {{m|Draco Meteor}} is taught by the opposite game's [[Opelucid Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] ([[Drayden]]{{sup/5|Wh}} or [[Iris]]{{sup/5|Bl}}), but maximum friendship is not required. Also, if the player brings an event {{p|Meloetta}} to Café Sonata in [[Castelia City]], a musician will teach it {{m|Relic Song}}. Furthermore, if the player brings an event {{p|Keldeo}} with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} in their party to [[Moor of Icirrus]], they will teach it {{m|Secret Sword}}.

The [[Driftveil City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Red Shard}}s. The [[Lentimas Town]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Blue Shard}}s. The [[Humilau City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Yellow Shard}}s. The [[Nacrene City]] tutor teaches moves in exchange for {{DL|Shard|Green Shard}}s.

==In other games==
===PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure===
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Primeape}} will teach the player {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, respectively. This will drastically enhance Pikachu's performance in battle. Though Electabuzz does not actually teach Pikachu how to use Thunderbolt, he does help strengthen its power.

==Trivia==
* In Pokémon Platinum, each move requires exactly eight shards. However, how many of each color varies.
** {{m|Signal Beam}} is the only Move Tutor move which requires shards of each color.
** {{m|Fury Cutter}}, {{m|Last Resort}}, {{m|Spite}}, and {{m|Superpower}} are the only moves that require only one color of shard.
** In Platinum, there are exactly two tutorable moves for every type except for the {{type|Normal}}.
* Of all of the {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} Move Tutor moves, only five can be learned outside the Battle Frontier, and all of them for free. Of those five, four are learned in [[Blackthorn City]].
* The nine moves available by Move Tutor in {{game|Black and White|s}} are the only moves ever taught by a Move Tutor that {{p|Mew}} cannot learn.
** Likewise, the four moves available by Move Tutor in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} are the only moves of these nine that were in existence at the time.
* All of the tutorable moves in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} (with the exception of the three moves taught at [[Cape Brink]]) were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]]. Similarly, all of the tutorable moves in {{game|Emerald}} were previously teachable via TM in [[Generation I]] and/or [[Generation II]].

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}
'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as {{DL|Starter Pokémon|Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters}}.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is mostly the same as Gold and Silver with a few changes and included plot elements exclusive to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]]. [[Player character|The player]], either {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} begins his journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|Egg}}, the player returns to New Bark Town, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark Town, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.

Upon arriving at Violet City, the player must first defeat the Elder [[Li]] at [[Sprout Tower]] before facing the Violet City Gym. He has just been defeated by [[Silver]] and after defeating Li, he gives the player {{m|Flash}}. After defeating Falkner for the {{Badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are sacred in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into the [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a {{ball|Lure}} and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{Badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up that is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. The Day Care functions the same way as in other [[Generation IV|Generation IV games]]. If these Pokémon are [[Egg group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon Egg]] can be produced.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third Badge, the {{Badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the Plain Badge, getting a [[SquirtBottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be on at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak City, where the {{type|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{Badge|Fog}}. The player encounters the [[legendary beasts]] in the [[Burned Tower]] and they [[Roaming Pokemon|run off]] around Johto. The player also meets [[Eusine]] who is studying the Burned Tower and takes interest in {{p|Suicune}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood City. There, they encounter the {{type|Fighting}} Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{Badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine City. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking Gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{t|Steel}} type. When the player gets their sixth Badge, the {{Badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The Gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the {{p|Magikarp}} in the lake to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}, which caused the effect of the [[Red Gyarados]]. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{Badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets and defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket executives}}, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the HeartGold and SoulSilver versions respectively. The player then is allowed to go through the Ice Path and to Blackthorn City. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{Badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and take a test before they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 Badges, the player is given the Master Ball by Elm and is requested to visit the Kimono Girls to prove their worthiness. After defeating the Kimono Girls, the player will either go to the Bell Tower (HeartGold) or the Whirl Islands (SoulSilver) to encounter Ho-oh (HeartGold) or Lugia (SoulSilver). Then the player is allowed to go east of New Bark into Kanto.

From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{t|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]] whom the player met at the Lake of Rage, challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===
The player then returns to their bedroom in New Bark Town. They head downstairs and receive a message that Professor Elm has something for them. Returning to his lab the player receives an [[SS Ticket]] for the fast ship [[S.S. Aqua]] departing to the region of [[Kanto]], where many rare Pokémon live. The player boards the ship in Olivine city and is bombarded by a sailor looking for his daughter who got loose on the ship. Searching the whole ship, the player finds a sailor who is angry that his co-worker is asleep on the job. Finding him and challenging him to a battle, he runs out of his cabin to join the mate. The player later finds the missing girl in the bottom of the ship. The girl asks the player to play hide and seek with her. The man from before then finds the girl as she mentions that the player was playing with her. The girl's grandpa thanks the player as the ship arrives at [[Vermillion City]] in Kanto.

Deciding to take on the Gyms of Kanto, the player enters the Gym in Vermillion City, defeating [[Lt. Surge]] who specializes in {{t|Electric}} types, and earning the {{Badge|Thunder}}. The player travels north to [[Saffron City]] and enters the Gym there defeating [[Sabrina]], who specializes in {{t|Psychic}} types and had envisioned the player's arrival three years prior, and earns the {{Badge|Marsh}}. Still, in Saffron, the player encounters the [[Copycat]] in her new house who seems to have misplaced her Pokémon doll. Going back to Vermillion's [[Pokémon Fan Club]] the player sees the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Lost Item}} and retrieves it bringing it back to the copycat who gives the player a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|pass}} to the Saffron [[Magnet Train]].

The player then travels east of Saffron to [[Celadon City]] and travels to the Gym taking on [[Erika]] and winning the {{Badge|Rainbow}}. Going back to Saffron and traveling east, the player comes to the [[Power Plant]] where they find that an important part of a machine in the plant has been stolen and they are unable to get the machine running. Traveling north of Saffron to [[Cerulean City]] the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the Gym. Traveling north onto [[Kanto Route 24|Route 24]] the player finds and battles a [[Team Rocket]] grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknownst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player. The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the Gym and retrieves the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Machine Part}}. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again made up and running.

The player then moves through the [[Rock Tunnel]] arriving at [[Lavender Town]] where they discover that the former [[Pokémon Tower]] has now become a Radio Tower for Kanto. Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the power plant. Traveling the length of the [[Silence Bridge]] and [[Kanto Route 13|Routes 13]], [[Kanto Route 14|14]], and [[Kanto Route 15|15]], the player arrives at [[Fuschia City]] and takes on the Gym Leader [[Janine]] who specializes in {{t|Poison}} types winning the {{Badge|Soul}}. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds [[Misty]] with her boyfriend at [[Cerulean Cape]]. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed, a challenger. The player returns to Cerulean Gym and takes on Misty's {{t|Water}} types winning the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

Returning again to Vermillion City, the player recalls the large Pokémon sleeping outside the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] on the eastern edge of town. He/she plays the Poké Flute Station on their radio which awakens and angers the Pokémon, a giant [[Snorlax]]. After capturing, defeating, or running away from it, the player enters and goes through the Diglett's Cave emerging on [[Kanto Route 2|Route 2]] just south of [[Pewter City]]. The player goes north to Pewter City and challenges [[Brock]] and his {{t|Rock}} types and earns the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

The player travels south across Route 2 and through [[Viridian Forest]] before arriving at [[Viridian City]] the player continues south to [[Pallet Town]] and the surfs to [[Cinnabar Island]]. There, the player sees [[Blue]] who mentions how the town previously found on the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and that the town's Gym Leader had to relocate his Gym to the nearby [[Seafoam Islands]]. Blue then goes back to his own Gym in Viridian. The player travels east to the Seafoam Islands and find's [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym within the islands and challenges him to earn the {{Badge|Volcano}}.

The player travels back to Viridian City and challenges Blue in his Gym, which does not seem to have any specialty in types, and defeats him to earn the {{Badge|Earth}}. The player goes back to Pallet Town and visits [[Professor Oak]] in his laboratory. Oak sees that the player has earned all of the Gym Badges in Kanto and decides to allow him to enter [[Mt. Silver]], a mountain so dangerous the average Trainer is not allowed to enter it, to challenge {{ga|Red}} who has been the champion of Kanto for three years and trains there constantly. The player goes to Mt. Silver and climbs to the top to find Red training mutely, and challenges him to a battle. After a hard-fought battle, the player defeats Red becoming the new champion of Kanto and Red walks away without saying a word. The credits roll again.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s are redesigned once again. The Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}}s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Ariana]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* The Tin Tower is renamed the [[Bell Tower]].
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] Badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The player can now see how many Kanto Badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto Badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.
* The [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in [[Olivine City]] contains balconies that are used to navigate through the tower. While on the balconies, the overhead viewing angle of the player changes. This is the first such instance of camera angle variation in the main series games and would later be implemented in different variations in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new {{safari|Johto}}, as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
* The [[Museum of Science]] in [[Pewter City]] and the [[Bike Shop]] in [[Cerulean City]] are open, although there's not much to the Museum of Science and the Bike Shop is packing up.
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.
* The {{rt|23|Kanto}} in Generation II is now a part of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Route 23 no longer exists.

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[version mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the version mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from {{DL|Ecruteak City|Kimono Dance Theater|the Dance Theater}} in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theater in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Apricorn Box}}. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.
* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]].
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can allow other Eon Pokémon to be encountered (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[friendship]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from {{tc|Juggler}}s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Berry Pots}}, where the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|SquirtBottle}} is controlled via the touch screen to water four berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* Passing certain parts in the game can also affect the rematches by improving the team of the Trainers that can be re-battled. By defeating the Elite Four and then after collecting the 16 Badges the Pokémon team of that Trainer are fought at higher levels as long as each rematch phase has been fought at least once.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 Badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to {{game|Crystal}}, the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto, as well as and Kanto.
* The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
* Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
* In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Route]]s {{rtn|4|Kanto}} and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{game|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.
* Any special Pokémon, such as {{p|Sudowoodo}}, can respawn to their specific location after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]] at any time, that is, if the Pokémon are first defeated.
* The ability to decorate your room, a feature introduced in the original Gold and Silver, is absent.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[friendship]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Pokémon outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug-Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Reception==
The games received an 8.5/10 "Great" rating from {{wp|IGN}}<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/143/14348189.html IGN: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>. Pokémon SoulSilver Version received an 87.94% at {{wp|Game Rankings}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960100-pokemon-soulsilver-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon SoulSilver Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, ranking as the 10th best DS game of all time<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, while HeartGold Version received a slightly less 87.83%<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/960099-pokemon-heartgold-version/index.html Game Ranking: Pokemon HeartGold Version] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>, also ranking the 6th most popular game, surpassed by {{wp|Super Scribblenauts}}, {{game|Diamond}}, {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|White}}, and {{game|Black}}<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/index.html Game Ranking: DS Games index] (retrieved June 20, 2011)</ref>.

==Trivia==
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon.
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the first in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the previous paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon following them, such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original {{2v2|Red|Blue}}) to be released in Latin America in Spanish.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type except the {{t|Ground}} type. However, [[Giovanni]], a former Kanto Gym Leader who specialized in the Ground type, appears during a special event and can be battled.

===Errors===
* A typo exists in the script of the English versions. Upon evaluating the [[National Pokédex]] with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught when talking to [[Professor Oak]], he, like in all the other Pokémon games he is in, will congratulate the player. However, in the sentence "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!" of his speech, the lowercase L should be an I instead.
* Another typo exists in {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver; the period at the end is missing. This is not the case in HeartGold.
* {{p|Goldeen}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver states that its speed is 5 knots per hour. A knot isn't a measure of distance, but speed. Thus, knots per hour measures acceleration.
* After receiving the {{Badge|Rising}} from Clair in [[Dragon's Den]], players do not receive [[TM59]] from [[Clair]] on their way out as they normally would, if they use {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}} or an [[Escape Rope]] to leave.

'''Zoey''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミ''' ''Nozomi'') is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] and {{an|Dawn}}'s [[rival]]. She first appeared in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''.

==History==
{{spoiler}}
Zoey first debuted in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' where she made fast friends with Dawn. In the [[DP012|next episode]] she would go on to defeat Dawn in the semifinals of the [[Jubilife City]] {{pkmn|Contest}} before {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Jessie]] in the final round. Furthermore, it was revealed in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' that the first [[ribbon]] she won was in a battle with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region.
[[File:Young Zoey.png|left|thumb|250px|Young Zoey]]

Zoey is largely responsible for the [[trade]] of {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}} and {{AP|Dawn's Buizel|Buizel}}. In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'', she first suggested that Ash should give Aipom to Dawn. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' she brought it up again, but this time she suggested a trade after she saw how Buizel had more of a love for battling rather than contests. Ash and Dawn eventually agreed to it and traded their Pokémon.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' she lost the battle against {{an|May}} in the semi-finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
[[File:Zoey Ribbon Cup.png|right|thumb|200px|Zoey and the Ribbon Cup]]
Zoey appeared again in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'' where she was shown battling [[Fantina]]. Zoey battled Fantina's {{p|Mismagius}} with her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} but lost. It was also revealed that {{p|Shellos}} helped her earn her third ribbon.

Zoey appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where Ash and his friends learn about her childhood. It was revealed she had been childhood friends with [[Candice]] and also frequently calls her "Ms. Senior". She also appeared in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' watching Ash's Gym battle with Candice, and again in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where she watched [[Paul]]'s battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. She left at the end of the episode with Candice. Zoey's next appeared in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' where she was shown winning her fifth and final ribbon required for the Grand Festival. She, along with Candice, helped Dawn train for the {{to|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and the two had a double battle with Zoey winning.

Zoey entered the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] and worked her way through the appeals and battles, eventually making it all the way to the final where she found herself up against Dawn once again. The two had a hard-fought battle, with Zoey's {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and {{p|Gallade}} against Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. It was clear the battle could go either way, and eventually the time ran out and Zoey won by a few points. Having won the Grand Festival, she was awarded the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. After the competition, she plans to go back to [[Snowpoint City]] to visit Candice.

Zoey made a cameo appearance in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Character==
Zoey is very loyal to her friends but has no problem giving them tough criticism when the time calls for it. However if one of her friends is being mistreated, she wastes no time sticking up for them. Such examples include her sticking up for Dawn when she was being made fun of by "[[Jessie|Jessilina]]" in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Despite having an sprained ankle, she still battled in Dawn's defense. She also defended Ash after she felt [[Paul]] was being rude to him.

She initially had harsh opinions of people who competed in both contests and Gym battles, saying they needed to make up their minds. This is seen in her reactions to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'' and [[Nando]] in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]''. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome!]]'' after realizing that it was good to learn from both types of trainers. It was revealed in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' that the reason for this trait in her character was that while she wanted to be a Top {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, [[Candice]] wanted to be a champion {{pkmn|Trainer}}. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both since she thought they weren't taking them seriously.

Zoey's tough demeanor suggests that she is a tomboy. This is further seen in her short haircut and her choice in Contest outfits, which are stylized suits rather than dresses.

==Pokémon==
The following are Zoey's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}:
===On hand===

|vaen=Ikue Ohtani
|desc={{p|Glameow}} is Zoey's main Pokémon. It was first seen in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]'' when it approached {{an|Dawn}} with her missing choker around its tail. In the [[DP012|next episode]] it was used in the {{ci|Jubilife}} Contest, and managed to take out {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Dawn's Buneary]], and [[Jessie]]'s borrowed {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, earning Zoey the {{ci|Jubilife}} [[Ribbon]].

Zoey used Glameow again in the [[Wallace Cup]]'s semifinal round against {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Beautifly}}. However it lost to Beautifly, knocking Zoey out of the competition.

It helped Zoey get to the Semi-finals alongside Gastrodon and was a key Pokémon on Zoey's victory in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] final against {{an|Dawn}}.}}

|desc={{p|Mismagius}} made its debut in the start of the {{ci|Jubilife}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'' as a {{p|Misdreavus}}. It made its appeal by coming out of its [[Poké Ball]] covered in a purple fog. It was silhouetted in the mist making only its shadow visible, thus making it look much more ominous and frightening.

Misdreavus was later seen in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' searching for someone to help Zoey alongside {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. It was also seen defeating a {{p|Mothim}} in the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Mismagius}} since the Wallace Cup. Zoey used it along with her Leafeon against [[Nando]] in the Semi-Finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] where they helped Zoey advance to the final round.

Mismagius's known moves are {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Shock Wave}}{{tt|*|Dub incorrectly referred to this as Thunder Wave in DP176}}, {{m|Lucky Chant}} and {{m|Psywave}}.}}

It was seen at the {{ci|Hearthome}} {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]''.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Gastrodon}}, used by Zoey in the Appeals Round and later the first battle round of the Grand Festival, where it easily helped her pass both stages.}}

In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a Lumineon. Zoey used it along with her Gastrodon in the [[Appeals Round]] and first battle round where its grace and beauty easily helped her pass both stages.

Lumineon's known moves are {{m|Silver Wind}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Waterfall}} and {{m|Aqua Ring}}.}}

Before the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival|Grand Festival]], Zoey evolved Kirlia into a Gallade and used him in the final round alongside Glameow against [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}, where it narrowly gave Zoey the victory.

Gallade's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Signal Beam}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.}}

Leafeon later reappeared in ''[[DP176|Coming Full Festival Circle!]]'' where it was used by Zoey in the Semi-Finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] alongside her {{p|Mismagius}} where it went up against [[Nando's Kricketune]] and {{p|Lopunny}}. Although Leafeon was weakened by Kricketune's {{m|Bug Buzz}} it was eventually able to strike back thanks to an incredible {{m|Aerial Ace}}-{{m|Psywave}} combination move that allowed it to grow wings and hit back with {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Although it was a hard fought competition, Leafeon and Mismagius were able to secure Zoey her place in the final.

Leafeon's known moves are {{m|Magical Leaf}}, {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Energy Ball}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Counting only regular characters, Zoey is the first female [[rival]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Zoey's Japanese name is Nozomi while Dawn's is Hikari. The ''{{wp|Hikari (train)|Hikari}}'' and the ''{{wp|Nozomi (train)|Nozomi}}'' are two {{wp|Shinkansen}} "bullet train" lines. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari. This is shown when Zoey beat Dawn in the first Grand Festival.
* As of yet Zoey is the only major rival, one who appeared for almost throughout a [[region]], to win their major tournament.

Talk:Legendary artifacts

2012-05-01T02:47:07Z

Galladeon:

==Move==
The current title is incorrect, as an artifact is, {{wp|Artifact|from Wikipedia}}: ''"something made or given shape by man, such as a tool or a work of art, esp an object of archaeological interest"''.

With the exception of the GS Ball, the Bells, and possibly the Orbs, a lot of these items are made by Pokémon, not people, and the GS Ball would never be considered an artifact. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']][[Pikachu (Pokémon)|'''⚡''']] 20:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
:Following that definition, you are correct; however, there is not just one definition of artifact. The fundamental problem with that definition is that Pokémon are sentient too, so the definition usually applied in a non-fiction environment does not apply in a fictional universe such as this. [[wiktionary:artifact|The fifth definition]] is relevant here. I was originally going to go with "legendary items" for the title of this page, but someone suggested this title instead. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

== The Blue Orbs control Groudon and Red Orb controls Kyogre? ==

Shouldn't we note that, in the games, when Maxie uses the Blue Orb on Groudon, it went on a rampage, as well as Kyogre when Archie uses the red Orb, thus, revealing that they both used the wrong Orbs in order to control Groudon and Kyogre and that in the anime they STILL used the wrong orbs but are still able to control them? {{unsigned|MrAkmalDanish}}
:I'm pretty sure that they did their homework and thus picked the right orb for the job. But as outlined in the Pokédex, Groudon and Kyogre will fight to the death if they ever meet. Also in the manga, the power of the orbs was shown to backlash into the holder if they weren't strong enough to handle them. This was also shown in the anime as well. [[User:Truthseeker4449|Truth]][[User talk:Truthseeker4449|seeker]][[Special:Contributions/Truthseeker4449|4449]] 12:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
:I should have put this in my first post but.... If in the event the power of the orb backlashes into you, Kyogre/Groudon can control you instead of you controling them. [[User:Truthseeker4449|Truth]][[User talk:Truthseeker4449|seeker]][[Special:Contributions/Truthseeker4449|4449]] 12:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

==Split==
I support the idea of splitting the Colored Orbs, Timespace Orbs, and Dragon Stones into separate articles. —'''[[User:Team Magma Zangoose|Team Magma]] [[User talk:Team Magma Zangoose|Zangoose ⚡]]''' 02:58, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
:Personally, if we got enough info on them, I wouldn't mind, but I'd like that we still keep info on this page as well and link to the main articles.

::Yeah, I'd like to keep info on this page too. The "In the anime" sections would not remain here, but the pseudo-infoboxes would. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

:::Seems everyone supports the split, but since I didn't want to be controversial, I created a page for the [[User:Memo326/Dragon_Stones|Dragon Stones]] it in the userspace. Feel free to improve/move. '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 02:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
::::That's great work. The main reason splits and stuff like this don't get done is because nobody ever gets around to actually doing it. Your page has been mainspaced. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::Seeing as the Dragon Stones page was made, I created a [[User:Team Magma Zangoose/Colored orbs|page for the colored orbs]] in my userspace and formatted it off of the Dragon Stones page.

== BW ==

Entries for items such as the Wings and the Bells, which are used in generations prior to generation V have descriptions for Black and White, even though they don't appear on the Key Item list for those games. This is especially puzzling for the Wings, as they don't have entries for any of the generation III games. Which list needs fixing? --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 05:59, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
:Despite not being used and being unobtainable, all Generation IV key items appear in the game data for the Generation V games. Some of them even have new bag descriptions (and even weirder, the [[Lost Item]] has a new sprite). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:43, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
:: So they need to be added to the List of Key Items in Generation V then. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 02:47, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

===Unova===
Unova has been said to be significantly distant from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Instead of being based on an area of Japan, Unova is based around the {{wp|Manhattan}} area of {{wp|New York City}}.

* [[Lt. Surge]] is known as "The Lightning {{wp|United States|American}}!"

* [[Silph Co.]] has a branch in {{wp|Tiksi}}, {{wp|Russia}}.
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Team Rocket are disguised as {{wp|vikings}}.

This is clearly a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} football team.
:*Though in the Swedish dub of the movie, Ash replies to Brock that they come from {{wp|Norway}}. Most likely referring to the Scandinavian Vikings that lived in the 8-11th century.
:* In the Danish dub of the movie, Ash tells Brock that the vikings are mostly on trips in {{wp|Sweden}}, again refering to the Scandinavian Vikings.
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Pokédex entries mentions that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} and jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} in one leap. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referred in the original Japanese version.

* In ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', {{an|Misty}} described the town like being in 'Merry Old England,' in which it could possibly be based on Tudor Time {{wp|Stratford-Upon-Avon}}. It is also the same historic town where the story's inspirational author, {{wp|William Shakespeare}} was born.

* In ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', Meowth asks if they saw Vicious in a {{wp|Lucha libre|Mexican wrestling}} movie.
* In the English version of ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', Melvin says he wanted to make it to {{wp|Las Vegas}}. It should be noted that he said that he wanted to make it to {{wp|Broadway}} in the Japanese version.
* In [[M01|the first movie]], Meowth mentioned that they lived on the same Earth (although he may have been referring to the soil rather than the literal planet Earth).
* In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', James says that the Fuchsia Gym looks like a Japanese restaurant.
* In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', Misty makes a direct reference to the Earth stating that, "The Earth is so pretty."

* The Japanese version of the song [[Team Rocket Forever]] includes the lines 「ムサシ!/コジロウ!/関門海峡/門司/下関」"''Musashi!/Kojirō!/Kanmon Straits.../Moji.../Shimonoseki...''", referencing the famous duel that {{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}} and {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}} (the name basis for [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Japanese names, Musashi and Kojirō) fought on an island in the {{wp|Kanmon Straits}}, which is located between {{wp|Moji-ku, Kitakyūshū|Moji}} and {{wp|Shimonoseki}}.
* A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} mentions the hula dance to a [[Kimono Girl]] while in the Ecruteak dance theater.
* The main series games have featured staff members of [[Game Freak]] that typically [[Diploma|reward]] the player for completing the [[National Pokédex]], or occasionally through alternative methods. [[Shigeki Morimoto]] can actually be battled in-game.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.
* In {{p|Raichu}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entry, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned. Incidentally, {{p|Gastly}}'s FireRed entry mentions the same thing.
*In Generation I-IV games, getting a triple seven on a slot machine gets the player a jackpot, just like in the real world.
* At the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Mewtwo is shown overlooking a "far away city" that greatly resembles {{wp|New York City}}. Buildings similar to the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and the {{wp|MetLife Building}} are visible in the distance.
* In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charizard}} uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Normally, a cloudy globe can be seen, but this time the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and {{wp|Australia}} are prominent. This also happens in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' and the introduction to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]".
* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], a possible reference to their real-world office of {{wp|Carrot Tower}}.
*In Castelia City, there is a building named "GAME FREAK".
* Both {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Beartic}}'s names are derived from the real world location, The {{wp|Arctic}}.

* In the movie ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Kidd's boss's office is in a city that resembles {{wp|New York City}}.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', a painting within the resort created by {{p|Beheeyem}} bears a striking resemblance to ''{{wp|Relativity (M. C. Escher)|Relativity}}'' by {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

==Summary==
{{spoilers}}
The world of Pokémon is truly a wonder, the planet is filled with these magnificent creatures. Some live in the sky, some live beneath the ocean, some travel the world and some exist only in dreams. Many of these Pokémon live peacefully among humans, however some humans seek to exploit Pokémon for their own means. One of the Pokémon so desired is the legendary {{p|Groudon}}, coveted by the villainous [[Team Magma]]. This story is about one man who went looking for Groudon, yet found something far more powerful that would make his wish come true...

Once every thousand years, the [[Millennium Comet]] is visible from earth for only seven nights... and now the time for it to appear among the stars has arrived again. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} arrive at the location where a carnival is due to be held to celebrate the comet's arrival... but despite {{an|Brock}}'s guidebook guiding them to the correct spot, there's no sign of a park, or even anything but open plains. As it's late at night, everyone decides to get some sleep and resume the search the next morning.

During the night Pikachu wakes up when he hears trucks from a distance. It then wakes everyone up, as the workers are starting to erect the carnival. A yellow pickup then parks on the side and a purple-haired man then come out with a briefcase. He then takes a magician stick and opens the briefcase. Pink balloons then magically come out of his briefcase, as he hit them with his stick. A woman then comes out with two fans and hit the balloons with them. Once all balloons are forming a circle, they pop up, and a huge tent is slowly created by the magician. Everyone stares in wonder at the magician, while Brock (of course) has his eyes on the woman. Soon the carnival is erected, and it sure looks like a lot of fun.

====Day One of the Millennium Comet====

The day is spent by the gang enjoying the various rides and attractions of the carnival. Team Rocket are naturally nearby, but don't have time to enjoy themselves as they've been put to work handing out flyers to everyone to announce 'The Great Butler's Magic Show' while disguised as clowns. Ash pick up one of the flyers, and [[Max]] notices that the flyer features the magician they saw last night, creating the tent. The gang decide to check the show out, thinking that if he can do a magic show as well as he can create a tent then they're in for a treat.

Soon, the gang are watching the show and it's turning out to be even better than expected. [[Butler]], the purple-haired magician, putting his white hat on an empty table. After creating a flock of {{p|Swablu}} out of thin air he then slaps the hat with his stick, and when he takes off the hat, a {{p|Kirlia}} suddenly appears! Butler then calls on his {{p|Mightyena}} for another trick. Butler seals back Kirlia, puts a red cloth over it, then burns it off. Out of the smoke comes [[Diane]], Butler's assistant, carrying a crystal. Brock applauds, declaring that Butler is amazing. Glowing rays come out of the crystal, and Max suddenly hears a voice. The voice tells him that 'it' is sealed inside the crystal. Max rushes to the scene, followed by Ash. Max tells Butler that he heard a voice from the crystal. Naturally Butler is surprised... but not too surprised. Butler then claims their arrival was in an impeccable timing for his next trick, the 'Burning Box'. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] (still disguised as clowns) then carry the box and put Ash and Max in it. Diane encourages them, and Butler tells the audience that Ash, Max and Pikachu are fellow magicians, and will escape the box before his {{p|Dusclops}} destroys it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Butler summons Dusclops, which slowly approaches the box. The entire audience are on tenderhooks, especially {{an|May}} and Brock. Dusclops then fires on the box but before it does so, Ash and Max are transported away by a machine under the stadium. Butler says not only did they vanish from the box, but also teleported to the entrance of the dome! The flashlights then show Ash and Max, and while Ash laps up the applause Max isn't sure what to do. May wonders if Ash and Max will tell her how they did the trick, while all Brock is hoping for is that he gets introduced to Diane.

Ash is still waving to the crowd... when suddenly Team Rocket (suspended from a balloon) grab Pikachu off his back and put him in an electricity-proof container and take off their disguises. Ash demands Pikachu back, but Team Rocket prepare a trick of their own... they're going to make Pikachu disappear along with Kirlia and Mightyena which they've also nabbed. {{MTR}} has been waiting at the side and opens the roof and joins his teammates as they make their getaway. Ash goes to send out one of his Pokémon however Butler stops him as he has one more trick up his sleeve. He orders Dusclops to use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} which sends Pikachu flying back to Ash who decides to do an encore and has Pikachu fire a trusty {{m|Thunderbolt}} which certainly charges up Team Rocket and releases Butler's Pokémon. Butler has Dusclops finish things off with {{m|Night Shade}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. The audience applauds loudly, and May notes that the audience think Team Rocket were part of the act... hopefully they won't come back for a final bow. Max is relieved everything worked out, but is still curious about Butler's crystal.

After the show, Max asks Butler and Diane about the crystal, and they respond by saying the crystal contains a Pokémon named {{p|Jirachi}}. Butler tells everyone that Jirachi only awakens once every 1000 years, and is sleeping inside the crystal, which acts like a cocoon. To wake up Jirachi, the crystal needs two things; the Millennium Comet to be visible in the night sky and a best friend chosen by destiny. Max happens to be the chosen one, so Diane gives him the crystal and as the crystal is due to appear in the sky that night it seems Max's new friend will awaken soon.
[[File:May wishmaker.png|280px|thumb|right|May's {{OBP|wishmaker|item}}]]
At twilight, May buys a Wish Maker, a sacred item that can grant one wish when its panels are closed while facing the comet. The stallholder tells May that she has to close a flap on the Wish Maker every night the comet is in the sky to make her wish come true. Soon fireworks are going off to celebrate the arrival of the comet, with many of the fireworks taking the forms of Pokémon. Afterwards, the fair closes down for the night.

Ash, May and Brock talks how about the world can change in a thousand years. The clouds then go off, revealing the comet glowing magnificently in the night sky. Soon Max is asleep with the crystal in his arms. May then starts singing her mother's lullaby. As Max sleeps, the crystal glows, goes off Max's hands then float in the air. Then, a mysterious light surrounds it, and Jirachi appears! Max introduces everyone to Jirachi. Diane then comes and Ash tells him that the prophecy was true. Diane tells them to pass the night in her bus. Inside, Max asks about wishes, then want snacks. At first, everyone said Jirachi can't grant wishes until Ash saw a bag of potato chips on Max's legs. Then, more and more snacks appears, filling the whole bus! The doors then open, with Diane with Butler coming and asking what happened. Max tells them he wished for candy, and hid wish came true! Diane picks up some cheese puffs, look at them then says those are the same from the snack-bar which suddenly lost all of its merchandise. Jirachi didn't create the treats, it teleported them away. May then gets irate and blames Max for this. Ashamed, he asks what should he and Jirachi should do. Brock suggests teleporting the food back to the store. If Jirachi was able to get the candies from the store, it could also teleport them back there. May yells at Jirachi to 'get rid of the problem'. Jirachi agrees, but from its point of view, 'the problem' to get rid of was May, not the snacks! It teleports May in the load of snacks, and falls asleep. Ash, Brock and May are then forced to take the candies back to the store by themselves.

Close by, another creature has sensed Jirachi's reawakening. It is {{p|Absol}}, the disaster Pokémon. It takes off towards the fair, heading for Jirachi... and Max.

====Day Two of the Millennium Comet====

The sun rises on a brand new day, and Max eagerly waits for Jirachi to wake up which it soon does and in no time is happily flying around Butler's van. With Team Rocket having left Butler's employment, Ash and Brock are now his new clowns. Max goes to the amusement park with Jirachi and have fun the whole day. At twilight, Absol can be seen rushing to the park. May folds the 'Day 2 of the Wishing Star' while she's carrying a lighting rig, but hits a leg of wood and it starts to fall. She asks for Max's help, however Jirachi is far more interested in playing than helping and steals Max's glasses. But Max hears an eerie sound coming from the mirror. The mirror breaks, revealing Absol! Butler recognizes Absol, a Pokémon which is known to appear just before a disaster. Absol runs after Max and Jirachi. May, seeing her brother in danger, summons {{TP|May|Torchic}} and orders an {{m|Ember}} but the attack is far too weak and Absol continues to approach Max dangerously. Ash sends in Pikachu telling him to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which succeeds in hurting Absol and sending it flying back... but also makes it even angrier. Jirachi tells Max that Absol is here for it and then teleports Pikachu and Torchic away. The two reappear far above the tent, and fall although the tent cushions their fall. Now there is nothing protecting Max and Jirachi, however Absol then changes its target and rushes towards the gang when Butler opens a booby-trap and Absol falls into it. The trap then release a cage with Absol in it. Kirlia then uses {{m|Hypnosis}} to send it to sleep. During night, May sits on a rock and folds the second panel of her Wish Maker and then notices Butler going back to the tent with something. That's right, it's Jirachi! Butler puts it on some machine that would create a Groudon, to get revenge on Team Magma, who fired him and made a mockery of his Magical tricks. He then asks Jirachi to open its true eye 'Millennium Eye' but Jirachi refuses. Dusclops then starts torturing Jirachi until its Millennium Eye is opened. Absol was actually there to protect Jirachi from Butler...but it can't do a thing since it's in a cage. The gang then sees a beam coming out of the tent. Butler's machines explodes, and Max rushes to a severely injured Jirachi. He then flees but Dusclops blocks him. Absol then breaks free of the cage and KOs Dusclops. Butler then send his Mightyena to run after Diane's bus. Mightyena then sticks some sort of GPS under the bus, which allow Butler to keep track of all their movements.

====Day Three of the Millennium Comet====

Diane is driving everyone out across some very bumpy terrain, when Ash falls down, with May, Max and Jirachi laughs. When night comes, Brock starts cooking and May closes the Wish Maker's third panel and then joins Diane in the bus. She tells her that she and Butler were childhood friends, and the last time she saw a delighted Butler was long ago, before the Groudon Project. She just wanted him as a magician, not someone with all-powerful mythology Pokémon.

====Day Four of the Millennium Comet====

The bus manages to get stuck in the mud, so everyone helps out. Afterwards, everyone is covered in mud, and all laugh. Ash and Max have fun at skipping stones on the lake, and Max wins. That same night, May takes her Wish Maker then fold the panel of 'Day 4 of the Wishing Star'. Max is getting nervous so he went to see Ash near the Lake. Ash tells him that he, too, once had a friend but they had to separate each other and they never met each other since then. But he claim his pal will be in his heart, so does will Jirachi be in Max's heart.

====Day Five of the Millennium Comet====

May takes her Wish Maker then folds the panel of 'Day 5 of the Wishing Star'. Each time she does so, Max become sad as this only tells him that he and Jirachi will part ways soon.

====Day Six of the Millennium Comet====

The gang arrives at Forina, Jirachi's home place. Many other Pokémon lives there, such as Nuzleaf, Breloom, Tropius, Linoone, Flygon, Altaria etc... The gang is then greeted by Absol, showing them Forina. May clears 'Day 6 of the Wishing Star'. Only 24 hours left... Max can't get to sleep as he worries about the little thing.

====Day Seven of the Millennium Comet====
[[Image:Brock and May in a bubble.png|275px|thumb|right|Brock and May trapped in the fake Groudon]]
Absol leads the gang to a cave, the same cave where Jirachi absorbs the comet's power and falls asleep for another 1000 years. As Jirachi is going to open his Millennium Eye, spikes come out of the walls and purple energy beams capture Jirachi! Butler is finally going to bring Groudon back to life. Then he sets all the machines A-OK, while Absol and Flygon break the spikes. Flygon takes Ash and Max for a ride, and they manage to get Jirachi back, while Butler sends his Salamence to fight against them. Groudon is slowly rising as Butler watches. Groudon is then completely formed as the gang stand behind it. Groudon then starts sucking energy from the earth as Absol attacks it. Groudon's left claws then become slimy blue-green tentacles and engulf Absol away! Groudon rear spikes becomes tentacles, too, chasing every Pokémon. Team Rocket then arrives, but get engulfed as Groudon is trying to get the Altaria. A scene is then shown in Groudon's stomach; Absol, many Pokémon and Team Rocket! Other Pokémon are getting 'eaten' while Butler claims this isn't the Groudon he wanted, as if Groudon was an evil beast! Having the taste not only for Pokémon energy, but also human energy, Groudon was going to eat Butler, but Diane blocks the tentacle and get sucked in instead! Butler realizes how to stop Groudon ; put Jirachi back on the machine and reverse the polarity. With the help of Ash, he gets to the machine, while May and Brock get eaten! Butler makes an ill movement and drops the shard with Groudon's data but Ash manages to catch it and bringing it back to Butler. As soon as the machine is started, Groudon approaches and launches its tentacles on Jirachi, but Butler shields Jirachi and gets sucked instead. Groudon, angry, pours its gooey substance over the machine, but Jirachi starts glowing. Groudon is slowly dragged by a white meteor made by Jirachi to the Millennium Comet, and then explodes, releasing all Pokémon and human alike it ate. Jirachi then descends the sky and asks Max one final wish; the lullaby. Everyone starts singing while Jirachi returns inside the crystal and sinks into the earth. Max cries for a short time, and wishes Jirachi a good night and sweet dreams.

====The End of the Millennium Comet====
{{synopsis cleanup}}
Butler and Diane stays in Forina's untamed nature, as they leave the group. Brock reminds May of last night, and she takes her Wish Maker, only to see that she didn't fold the 'Day 7 of the Wishing Star' but says it doesn't matter after all. As the group leaves, Jirachi talks to Max using telepathy and say that they will always stay best friends forever.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Fake Groudon.png|300px|thumb|right|The fake Groudon (actually a manifestation of pure evil)]]
* The prologue for this movie shows the main [[legendary Pokémon]] from the first five movies. It shows {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}. However, {{p|Mew}}, the [[legendary birds]], and {{p|Suicune}} were absent.
* This is the first Pokémon movie to go directly to video for its American release.
* The events of this movie happen between the episodes ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' and ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', and premiered in Japan between those episodes.
* The ending song, ''[[Make a Wish]]'', is the first time that the U.S. dub left the original Japanese lyrics performed by ''Asuca Hayashi''. It was also combined with English lyrics performed by ''Cindy Mizelle''.
* This movie manifests itself in the form of a cameo in Pokémon Colosseum. A trainer named Rider Zalla owns a Jirachi (the star), Flygon, Absol ([[wild Pokémon]] befriended during the movie), Kirlia, Mightyena, and a Dusclops (Pokémon belonging to [[Butler]]). She can be found as the 77th trainer on Battle Mode's Single Battle Mount Battle.
* Also, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s that appear on the southernmost part of {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} have their [[party|teams]] based on those of Butler and Diane. In fact, in the Japanese version, they have the same names as them, but the English translation team did not notice the relation to the movie characters.
* Two of the main non-legendary Pokémon of the movie, {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Flygon}}, are eventually both obtained by [[Drew]] and then used to battle {{an|May}} in the [[Kanto]] [[Grand Festival]].
* Throughout Tropius's appearances, instead of using it's actual anime cry, it uses the same "slurp" noise from when it was eating fruit.
* Even though {{AP|Treecko}} and {{tp|Brock|Mudkip}} appear on the box cover, they never even appear in the main story of the movie. In fact, out of all the main characters' Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Torchic}} were the only two to appear, with two exceptions outside of the main plot, the opening sequence when Treecko, Mudkip, and the main characters' other Pokémon do appear while eating and the ending beach scene. They do both, however, appear in fireworks in the movie.
* When traveling to Forina, an instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is played in the background and on the DVD main menu.
* This is first Pokémon movie to not feature the season's theme song during the opening credits.
* This is the last Pokémon movie released to UK DVD until ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' years later.
* This is the only {{series|Advanced Generation}} movie in which {{p|Munchlax}} does not appear, as well as the only AG movie in which a Generation IV Pokémon does not appear, for that matter.
* This was the last movie that Tomiko Suzuki (Jirachi) lent her voice. Tomiko died of a heart attack a week and a half before the cinema release.
* While the previous two movies kept the original Japanese background music for the main feature, this is the first movie to also keep the title sequence music.
* This movie aired for the first time in Italy on March 16, 2012, almost 8 years after the American release. It's been the last AG movie to air, and so far it's the movie that aired with the longest gap.
* During the ending credits several real world {{wp|constellations}} appear. The constellations are then used as the frame for various Pokémon alluding to their names and mythology:
** {{wp|Ursa Minor}} as {{p|Teddiursa}}.
** {{wp|Ursa Major}} as {{p|Ursaring}}.
** {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}} as {{p|Milotic}}.
** {{wp|Ophiuchus}} as a {{p|Machoke}} carrying a {{p|Seviper}}.
** {{wp|Scorpius}} as {{p|Gligar}}.
** {{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}} as {{p|Kyogre}}.
** {{wp|Virgo (constellation)|Virgo}} as {{p|Gardevoir}}.
** The star marking {{p|Pikachu}}'s cheek is {{wp|Spica}}, otherwise known as α Virginis.

==Errors==
* During the magic show in the dub, [[Butler]] calls for his {{p|Dusclops}} to use an attack called "Capitata", while in the Japanese version, Butler says 'Onibi!' which is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}'s official Japanese name. It is unknown how the name "Capitata" got into the script or final product, but it seems that every dub used 'Capitata!' rather than {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.

==Dub edits==
*In the beginning, Ash says the person who last comes up the hill is a {{p|Slowpoke}} (May calls Max a {{p|Slowbro}}). However, in most translations from English, the joke was eliminated, replacing "slow" to each language's response.
* In the dub when Ash is talking with Max, he talks about friendship and makes a reference to {{an|Misty}}, though not by name. In the original dialogue, instead, Ash says to Max that thousand years for Jirachi and its comet could be just an instant and it wouldn't be the same travelling with him; he remarks that he's not able to explain the thing very clearly.

Party

2012-04-21T16:41:58Z

Galladeon: deleted random parenthesis

[[File:BW Party.png|frame|right|Viewing a party in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
A '''party''' or '''team''' (Japanese: '''手持ちポケモン''' ''Pokémon on hand'') is a group of up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} carries with him or her.

==Overview==
After this team of six is filled, newly-acquired Pokémon are sent to a [[PC]] to be stored. Trainers may have any Pokémon in their party, and newly {{pkmn2|caught|captured Pokémon}} will automatically fill empty slots in the party. If a Trainer wishes to change Pokémon into or out of the party, he or she can; however, they must travel to a [[Pokémon Center]] or another PC-enabled place and use its [[Pokémon Storage System]] to do so.

==Battle==
When entering a single {{pkmn|battle}}, the first Pokémon that has not [[fainting|fainted]] in the party list is the one that will be drawn first. For [[Double Battle]]s, the first two Pokémon that have not fainted in the party list are the ones that will be drawn first by the Trainer. Likewise, the first three Pokémon that have not fainted in the party will be sent out first when entering a [[Triple Battle]] or [[Rotation Battle]]. If there are not enough conscious Pokémon to battle, then the [[player]] will simply be unable to participate in the battle. During battle, if "Switch" is selected in [[Options]], trainers can switch the participating {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with another in the party when the one of the opponent's Pokémon are defeated. This is not the case during Double Battles, Triple Battles, Rotation Battles, the [[Battle Tower]], and other similar areas.

==Effects==
All Pokémon in a Trainer's party will slowly gain [[Happiness|trust towards him or her]] as the Trainer walks around; Every 256 steps, the party Pokémon gain happiness. Also, if there is an {{pkmn|Egg}} in the party, it will slowly hatch according to steps taken. Different Eggs take different amounts of distance, but to hatch they must be in the party. Eggs cannot participate in battle, therefore a Trainer may only carry a maximum of five Eggs at a time.

Some [[Ability|Abilities]] have an {{cat|Abilities with field effects|out-of-battle effect}}, and these can only be activated if they are in a Trainer's party. Most of these Abilities only work outside of battle when the Pokémon with the Ability is leading the party.

===Pokérus===
{{main|Pokérus}}
If any Pokémon in the party are suffering from [[Pokérus]], it can spread along the party, including Eggs. However, Pokémon in the party will recover from Pokérus after midnight.

==Variations==
Viewing the party in the [[menu]] will display their name, icon, current {{stat|HP}}, [[status ailment]], and [[level]] in all games.

===Generation I===
In the [[Generation I]] games, there was no [[gender]]{{tt|*|Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀ and their evolutionary relatives exempt}}, and so this is absent. Also, on the Pokémon Summary screens, there are only two screens: Stats, and [[Move]]s. The Moves section only shows the name, and the {{PP}} of each move. The icons were extremely limited, and the only Pokémon that had its own, unique icon was {{p|Pikachu}} (in {{game|Yellow}} only).

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], color was introduced, along with gender, and both can be seen on the party screen. However, the icon range was still low, almost as restricted as Generation I. The Moves section of the summary allowed switching orders and power to be shown along with [[type]]. {{PP}} was still visible, and the party screen itself kept the same format. In {{game|Crystal}}, some Pokémon got unique party sprites, such as {{p|Snorlax}}.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]] the party screen was overhauled, now with the first Pokémon on the left. Each and every Pokémon had its own unique icon, and all in color. The Pokérus status is visible on the party, unless another status ailment is present. The Moves section is again updated, with a page for [[Pokémon Contest]] moves, another for the moves when used in battle. The battle moves now show accuracy, power, type, and added effects. However, Shiny Pokémon do not show the alternate colors in the party screen.

===Generation IV===
====Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
In these games, the party screen is changed again, showing the party Pokémon from left to right and top to bottom. All other things stay similar, with unique icons, but it adds condition to the summary pages. The party can also be viewed through the [[Pokétch]], to see either {{stat|HP}} and items, or Happiness.

====HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the party screen is essentially the same as in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, however, it is moved to the bottom screen. The Pokémon that leads the party [[Walking Pokémon|follows]] the player around, like {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow}}.

===Generation V===
====Black and White====
In {{v|Black and White|s}}, the party screen is now fully able to interact with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen, by being placed on the bottom of the screen. It functions similarly as it did in previous games. Also, this is one of the party screens where the player can view the back sprite of a Pokémon by tapping it while viewing information on it. Sliding the stylus up and down or left and right causes the Pokémon to jump, and drawing circles around the Pokémon makes it to levitate.

"history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the Pokemon Ranger games seem to actually reference events from the games (and also is the reason why {{p|Manaphy}} even exists in the main games.) If we aren't going to count the Ranger games are canon to the basic storyline, then we shouldn't count Manaphy as canon, either, since that's the only EVENT pokemon in the main series that debuted in a side game/spinoff game rather than in the main game series. Besides, since we can't transfer any prior gen pokemon onto the R/S/E/FR/LG game packs, Pokemon Colosseum is currently the only legit way to even ACQUIRE Celebi (though this is only in the Japanese version), and it (as well as it's sequel, Gale of darkness) is also the only OTHER legit way to acquire Ho-Oh and Lugia if you didn't get the Mystic tickets in the Emerald/FR/LG versions. now, for games like Mystery dungeon, yes, those SHOULDN'T be counted as canon in there, since that's an Alt universe.

:::What should NOT be considered canon is all this fan-made BS about Pokemon populations decreasing, when the unobtainables came into being, how Doduo/Dodrio came to have multiple heads, etc. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 22:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you think the "Contemporary History" should be moved to a new article called "Timeline of events in the games"? This article is supposed to be about how the Pokémon Universe developed, not what happened in it afterwards.

== Can anyone state where it was said that the S.S. Tidal was created in the 1990s? ==

I need to know because the article said it was created in that time period, and yet I don't really recall the games even stating that it was created in the 1990s (In fact, I don't even recall it even mentioning the date of when it was created at all).

Going through this article, all I see is fan speculation and unusual conclusions. I for one would like to see some evidence of these claims, as many of them see totally made-up. For example: What connection to Kyogre and Manaphy have? And "herds" of Latios and Latias? As far as I remember, it's one for each player. I wouldn't say there were "herds" of Mewtwo, would you?

==Multiple Mew!?==
Alright, who said that Mew were plentiful soon after the creation of the Pokémon world? And how does anyone know that [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|this Mew]] is different from [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|that Mew]]? It could just be a different voice actor. [[User:Palkiajosh|パルキアJosh]] 23:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
*Ok, about the reason why Mew from Mewtwo Strikes Back being different from the Mew from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, it's for a couple of reasons. Yes, the voice doesn't necessarily mean much, however, MSB's Mew's Japanese VA was definitely in the 8th Movie as he (she? I don't really know the VA's gender) was the one who voiced Sir Aaron in that Movie. I mean, why would they give Mew a different VA (assuming that it IS the same one) if it's original VA is still very much available? Plus, the one from Movie 1 was very far from Kanto, and If this were the same mew, it would spend most of it's time inside of a Lake/Jungle than in a deciduous forest with a [[Tree of Beginning|Tree-like Rock formation]], not to mention that MSB's Mew lives a considerably far distance from Kanto, or heck, any of the regions that have been seen thus far, while LatMoM's Mew was located, if not in Kanto, then just barely beyond the border. As for the multiple parts, I'm guessing the fossilized remains of a Mew, as well as it being a genetic ancestor to every pokemon seems to answer that question.) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't forget that the first Mew was seen to be sleeping underwater, possibly for a long time, untill Mewtwo unleashed his power on the world, creating storms and kidnapping the Nurse Joy of the city. The most recent Mew, was seen to have been connected to the Tree of Beginning, so it should be assumed Mew can't be away from it for long periods of time (longer than seen in the movie). And it and the Tree are so closely connected, when Mew would be damaged in the first movie, the Tree would also sustain damage. And the first Mew is also living in the Johto area, not Kanto.

::I agree. It doesn't say anywhere that he created them. It just says that a Lugia has the power to destroy (Pokédex entries) or save the world (movie), depending on the situation.

== Cleanup! ==

This article is really very well done as it sums up everything so those supposed continuity errors are straingtened out (such as the "Which came first? Arceus or Mew?" paradox). But I really think it needs a cleanup. All it has are random dot points on Pokemon that aren't related. Clean it up!
Also, fan assumptions should be excluded! It's annoying to see speculation assumed as fact. [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 15:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

::There really isn't a paradox concerning Arceus and Mew. It is ''believed'' (according to Dex entries) that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon, but it clearly states in the DPPt origin story that Arceus was born before every other Pokémon (before the universem even). Arceus created Mew, ta-dah! And like [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] said, you can't just tell people to do things you want done. [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arc''']][[Special:Contributions/LordArceus|'''eus''']] 16:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
I've had an interesting theory, which could solve the Arceus/Mew paradox. Arceus may have created the universe, but what if Mew came around before the universe was created, and Arceus sort of descended from it? Also, Mew is the ANSCESTOR of all Pokémon, not necassarily their creator. So if Arceus created Dialga and Palkia and the Lake Trio, then they are still anscestors of Mew, because Arceus is.

Please remember to sign comments. I realise that there's no Mew/Arceus paradox, not really. I just mean this article can definitively solve the arguing. (I've seen A LOT of arguing on the subject.) [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 14:33, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I guess that's silly. I've just had a look and I think it's fine as it is. It's just the allignment of the dot points that's a little dodgy.

== Kyogre Problem ==

How could Kyogre have expanded the sea with the help of Manaphy and Lugia when it went to sleep millions of years before, and wasn't woken up again until the events of Generation III? I think that, considering the fact that the Pokémon world is very similar to our own, the sea was probably created the same way that Earth's sea was, and that the theory of it being created by Pokémon is simply a legend. There is definately no archaelogical evidence that it was expanded by Pokémon! Maybe, until we are certain, we shouldn't mention how the sea was created like it is fact.

The article claims that the first writing system was created 1500 years before Generation 1. If this is based on present time, the first writing system was created in 500 AD.

:Writing first came about around 3400-3000 BC. It's still disputed wether Egypt or Mesopotamia had the oldest writing system. And for your second question, yes.

== Leaf ==

Shouldn't we remove Leaf from the article? HG/SS proves that Red's story is the canon one, and Leaf doesn't exist in Red's continuity because she never appeared during his quest. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:Absolutely not, unless we also remove {{ga|Kris}} due to non-interaction with {{ga|Gold}} in {{v2|Crystal}}. And we're not removing Kris. Just because Leaf doesn't appear in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} doesn't mean we should treat Leaf as if she never existed. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

::I left Kris there just in case that for whatever reason you consider Pokémon Crystal to be canon rather than the remakes (which would still mean the Leaf isn't part of continuity).
::And even if you're going to assume that Leaf existed somewhere, the article is still wrong because she can't have had the same story she had in FR/LG. That would mean that both Red and Leaf had the same mom, the same house, the same rival and the same events within the same continuity, which makes no sense. If she was part of continuity, she would have a different role from Red's, like May and Dawn had in Brendan and Lucas' respective stories. Moreover, the article states that she defeated Green/Blue in the Pokémon League and became the new champion, which can't have happened, considering that Blue/Green states in HG/SS that the trainer who defeated him shortly after he became champion was Red, not Leaf.
::Lastly, the article should be about writing what we know that happened, not what might have happened. We know that Red's story is canon and Leaf's isn't, as they can't both happen in the same continuity. Therefore, we know that Leaf never appeared in continuity. That there's a Leaf somewhere in the established continuity is unfounded speculation, no matter how much some people want her to be part of it. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:::There are absolutely no acceptable grounds in removing all references to Leaf from the article. By removing parts from the article, you're trying to imply Leaf never existed to begin with, and for that to be true, FireRed/LeafGreen would have to have had only a male player character. Either that or there would have to have been no FireRed/LeafGreen (and if that were to be the case, there would be no HeartGold/SoulSilver either).

:::Those parts from the article you're trying to have removed in no way imply Leaf exists in HeartGold/SoulSilver; to have any area of the article imply any involvement from Leaf in HeartGold/SoulSilver, Leaf would have to be mentioned in one of the sections further below, and last I saw, there weren't any such mentions.

:::In conclusion: Leaf exists, and she always will. The fact HeartGold/SoulSilver doesn't mention her does not change that. Where Leaf is already mentioned, she should be. Where Leaf shouldn't be mentioned, she's already not. Trying to erase all traces of her existence from the article is akin to vandalism. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Oh, ok. So you weren't saying that there was a Leaf somewhere in the HG/SS timeline. My bad.
::::Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this article about the timeline of the Pokémon world? Isn't it about making a recollection of the canonical events in the established continuity and making it the less ambiguous possible (ie: saying that "Brendan/May" became the Hoenn champion only because we don't have confirmation about which story is the canonical one, which is different from the case in FR/LG)?
::::Also, I thought that the most recent games that rewrite history take priority over the older ones. In the RSE section we say that the player calmed down Groudon and Kyogre with Rayquaza's help (as depicted in Emerald), not that s/he "stopped Groudon/Kyogre" (as depicted in Ruby and Sapphire respectively), because we use the most recent rewrite of the RSE story, Emerald, as canon. Likewise, shouldn't the GS remakes, which established that Red's story happened in the timeline but Leaf's didn't, take priority over FR/LG (as HG/SS are the most recent games)?
::::Edit: I'm not saying that Leaf doesn't exist. I'm saying that she doesn't exist in the continuity established by the overall timeline (if you believe HGSS or GSC), which I think this article is supposed to be about. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

Perhaps instead of rewording the article to not mention Leaf, we reword the Gen III section to be ambiguous as to it's version:
:"After defeating Hoenn's eight Gym Leaders and, with the help of Steven and Wallace, calming Groudon and/or Kyogre after they are awakened by Team Magma/Team Aqua, respectively, he/she...."
AFAIK, Platinum's story is different from Pearl and Diamond, yet no mention of Giratina is made. Just keep the version ambiguous. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 03:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Its not possible because Jasmine is in the Sinnoh Region right?--[[User:Jason avelino|Jason avelino]] 10:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

:People just say that because they believe the odd-numbered generations take place at the same time. Yet there's zero proof of even that--no timeframes are ever stated for when the games that take place in either [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]] take place. For all we know, the [[Generation III]] Hoenn games takes place five years after [[Generation II]] and the [[Generation IV]] Sinnoh games take place 10 years further down the road, and yet the technology of their respective platforms allows them to trade freely with the remakes in their generation that do take place at the same time as their originals (addtionally, in Hoenn's case, it can even freely trade with two console games that take place years apart). Besides, where was it stated that the [[red Gyarados]] in the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} intro is the one from the [[Lake of Rage]]? Right, nowhere. Yet people are using such a baseless assumption as evidence of the even-numbered generations taking place at or around the same time.

:The only times timeframes between two games are ever stated are the case between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] being three years apart, and {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} being five years apart. The fact that both of the latter are compatible with all handheld Generation III games just goes to show that we don't know when the Hoenn and Sinnoh games take place, and that all assumptions of them taking place at the same time as the remakes in their repsective generations are baseless and shouldn't be trusted. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 13:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

== Parallel universe? ==

I've been toying with some ideas on an alternate view of the game's history based on a few key facts. Essentially, there must be some concrete level of parallelism between the real world and the Pokémon world, if everything in the games is taken as canon:

*Most (or many) Pokémon are classified by what type of animal they are (Pikachu is a "Mouse Pokémon", etc.), so it can be assumed that Pokémon were not prevalent as a whole in the universe until sometime within the realm of documented history; otherwise, animals would be classified by what Pokémon they are like (if there are even normal animals in the game; the only real indication I know of is the aquarium in the Cerulean City gym in the anime).
*From that point, two options emerge:
**Pokémon evolved from actual animals sometime approximately within the realm of documented history, then out-competed normal animals to near, if not total, extinction. This must have occurred within documented history, for surely even a minute population of a given species of Pokémon would quickly dominate any corresponding animal (e.g., two Pikachu could flourish against thousands of normal mice).
**Pokémon were suddenly introduced into the universe. This could have resulted from several things: Dialga/Palkia/Giratina essentially control all of space-time, so Pokémon could have been transferred from a totally different universe; a population of Mew that existed on the planet beyond human influence, because of some external influence, suddenly evolved into all manner of other Pokémon; or something to that effect.
*Taking the Pokédex entries as fact, refer to Golduck's entry from R/B, which makes mention of the "Japanese monster [[wp:Kappa_(folklore)|Kappa]]." This implies not only that Japan as a country exists in the Pokémon world, but also that its historical and cultural development must have been largely similar to its real-life history, or else such a legend would likely have never existed.
*Other entries of that sort appear, such as Poliwrath's, which refers to the Pacific Ocean, implying that general geography is such that sailing and exploration occurred in a similar way to real life. Also consider the journal entry claiming to have sighted Mew in Brazil (I believe?). As such, we can assume that the Pokémon world was for a long period of time identical to our own, save potentially for minor changes outside of human influence (e.g. Mew population), until some particularly disruptive event thrust the world into an alternate timeline.
*Of course, there must be some limitation as to how much parallelism is accepted as canon; every player character owns the latest generation of Nintendo console at home. What is to be made of that?
*Also consider the technological development of the world, especially based on needs and resources; teleportation is essentially perfected, but there are only a handful of planes, none of which are for passengers (as in Black/White).
*If these points are all accepted, we are given potential insight into the development of Pokémon society within species: Since Pokémon must have come to human attention after the development of language, it can be assumed that all Pokémon capable of saying their names evolved to do so only after sufficient exposure to humans calling them by that name, or else language would have been deterministic.
*Given that Pokémon did not dominate the ecosystem until relatively recently in the world's history, it is important to consider how Pokémon have or have not emigrated across continents. If humans have made contact across continents for some period of time, it should be expected that Pokémon would be able to do the same (e.g. if Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2, what's stopping it from crossing any ocean a boat or a Water-type Pokémon can cross and invading a new ecosystem?). This point requires more research.

I'd love to hear what you think!

== Implications of Steven being Champion and the Dotted Hole ==
What evidence is there that RSE are taking place at the same time as FrLG? The Dotted Hole saying "CONNECT THE PAST" in FrLG and Steven being Champion still in HgSs seem to being evidence that FrLG and RSE aren't taking place at the same time.

== Evidence ==

Where's the evidence for Generations I and III taking place at the same time, and for Generations II and IV at the same time? Black and White show that Platinum is the canon version for the Sinnoh games, and it didn't have the Red Gyarados report. Trading without time travel is a flimsy justification at best. Cynthia never mentions the events of DPPt in HGSS, and Steven only makes vague reference to similar-looking challengers, not to the Aqua/Magma crisis. Is that different in the original Japanese? I forget exactly what the Hiker in Hearthome says about Elm's report on Eggs, can we see what he says in both language versions of Platinum? I was discussing this with a friend (trying to support the same time argument), but I was unable to find any hard evidence that he couldn't come up with an alternate explanation for, so this is all seeming like a lot of speculation being passed off as fact. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 05:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Johto Route 47

'''Route 47''' is a route in western [[Johto]]. It was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Route description==
[[File:Crasher Wake Route 47.png|[[Crasher Wake]] on Route 47|thumb|left]]
Only accessible after the [[SecretPotion]] has been given to [[Jasmine]] in [[Glitter Lighthouse]], Route 47 is vastly different from all other routes in Johto, being carved out of the face of the sheer cliffs west of {{ci|Cianwood}}.

The route begins rather high up as Trainers exit from [[Cliff Edge Gate]], and heads due west past a {{tc|Hiker}}, where it takes its first branch. From here, Trainers can go north two paces and into [[Cliff Cave]], which connects the various levels of the route, or continue westward across a bridge in front of a roaring {{m|waterfall}}. There is very little across the bridge, however, as only a {{tc|Camper}} appears, separating the player from a [[Revive]].

Inside [[Cliff Cave]], the player can either go up or down; each path contains its own perks. Going down and out from Cliff Cave leads the player to the sea, where they can explore, and with {{HM|07|Waterfall}}, climb to the only [[tall grass]] on the route.

Further west is another waterfall; climbing it will lead the player to a {{DL|Flute|White Flute}}, otherwise obtainable only via transfer from [[Generation III]].

The upper path will take travelers to {{rt|48|Johto}} and Johto's brand-new {{safari|Johto}}; however, one step after one exits the Cliff Cave, a {{tc|Double Team}} will challenge them. Afterwards, passage is free to the west, across several bridges over beautiful waterfalls, and eventually onto a grassy path near a billboard advertising the Safari Zone. North of here are the final Trainers on the route, a {{tc|Young Couple}}, and a bit further north, Route 48.

==Places of interest==
===Cliff Cave===
{{main|Cliff Cave}}
Cliff Cave assists in navigating between the levels of Route 47; going up leads to {{rt|48|Johto}}, while going down leads to [[Embedded Tower]] and the only [[tall grass]] and {{m|surf}}able ocean on the route.

===Embedded Tower===
{{main|Embedded Tower}}
Accessible only with {{HM|08|Rock Climb}}, Embedded Tower, the whereabouts of {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup|HG}}, {{p|Groudon}}{{sup|SS}}, or {{p|Rayquaza}} (if both are captured and shown to [[Professor Oak]]). West from the entrance to Embedded Tower is the westernmost accessible point in Johto, a small spit of beach at the bottom of climbable rocks.

Forecast (Ability)

'''Forecast''' (Japanese: '''てんきや''' ''Weatherman'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the signature Ability of {{p|Castform}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
During [[weather conditions]], Forecast will change the [[type]] of the Pokémon with this Ability. 
The type of a Pokémon with this Ability will change as follows:
* It will become {{type|Fire}} if it is {{weather|sunny}}.
* It will become {{type|Ice}} if it is {{weather|hailing}}.
* It will become {{type|Water}} if it is {{weather|raining}}.
* It will return to being {{type|Normal}} if there is a {{weather|sandstorm}}, it is {{weather|foggy}}, {{weather|Shadow Sky}} is in effect, the weather returns to normal, or a Pokémon with {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}} comes onto the field.

This Ability is made specifically for Castform, so if other Pokémon obtains this Ability, it will have no effect. Conversely, if Castform loses Forecast, it will be stuck in whatever form it was in at the time until it regains the ability.

If a Pokémon with this ability has its type changed through other means, such as {{m|Soak}} or {{m|Conversion}}, its type will be reverted to match that of the current weather condition at the end of the turn.

===Outside of battle===
Forecast has no effect outside of battle.

Galladeon: /* OHKO */ new section

So basically this ability wears off after the Pokémon has been hit just once? --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 17:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:It should come back if the Pokémon's HP is restored with a Full Restore, Recover, etc. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 17:46, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Does this cause OHKO moves to work like Super Fang would on a Pokemon without this ability? --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 05:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon that can use all moves affected by Reckless, as it can use them via {{m|Mimic}}. However, Hitmonlee can only have both Mimic and Reckless at the same time if it is taught {{m|Mimic}} as a {{p|Tyrogue}} in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, is then sent to a Generation IV or V game, then evolved into {{p|Hitmonlee}} in that game. This Hitmonlee then has a 50% chance of having Reckless, depending on its [[personality value]].
* Although {{m|Submission}}, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and {{m|Wood Hammer}} are all affected by Reckless, they cannot be naturally learned by any Pokémon that has this Ability. Therefore, these moves can only be affected by Reckless through a Hitmonlee using Mimic or if a Pokémon used Role Play.
* Emboar may utilize this ability more than any other Pokémon, being able to learn four recoil-dealing moves.

Steel (type)

{{search|in-game type|the TCG type|Metal (TCG)}}
{{ElementalTypes}}
The '''Steel type''' (Japanese: '''はがねタイプ''' ''Steel type'') is one of the seventeen [[elemental type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in the Steel type include [[Jasmine]] of [[Olivine City]], [[Steven Stone]], former {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Hoenn]], and [[Byron]], [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Steel-type moves were physical.

The Steel type was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As well as introducing new Pokémon with the Steel type, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} were retconned to be a dual-typed {{t|Electric}}/Steel Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
Defensively, Steel-types are considered to be the best type of Pokémon to use. They have resistances to 11 of the 17 types, which can make for a good physical and special tank in battle. They are immune to {{type2|Poison}} attacks and are very tricky to inflict the Poison condition on. They can hold up to many attacks, because of their high Defense, but all 3 of the type's weaknesses are to the very common {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Ground}} types. Those defensive flaws are made up by the fact that only a small number of Steel-types are without another type. Their Special Defense is lower than their physical Defense, but is still reasonably high.

Offensively, it is not recommended to use Steel-type moves, because there are only two types weak to Steel: {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Rock}}, both of which are rarely used defensively. There are only five pure Steel-type Pokémon and thus most have a second type able to provide more effective moves that could offset this disadvantage. Steel-type Pokémon have average Attack and Special Attack, though there are some high-powered outliers in either the Physical field, such as {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Excadrill}}, and the Special field, such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.

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

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 38 Steel-type Pokémon or 5.86% of all Pokémon, making it the fourteenth most common elemental type.

==Trivia==
* Out of all the types, Steel has the most resistances and the highest average {{stat|Defense}}.
* There were no 100% accurate Steel-type attacks until [[Generation IV]].
* Up until {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Weedle}} was completely unable to damage Steel-type Pokémon because the only damaging move it could learn was {{m|Poison Sting}}, and Steel-types are immune to {{type2|Poison}} moves. From Platinum onwards, Weedle is able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} via level-up, allowing it to do at least some damage (though {{t|Bug}} is still not very effective on most Steel-type Pokémon).
* Because of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s addition of their secondary Steel type in [[Generation II]], there has been at least one Steel-type Pokémon introduced in each generation. Despite this, there is not a Steel-type move from each generation; Steel is the only type not assigned to a move introduced in Generation I. This is the opposite situation to the other type introduced in Generation II, {{t|Dark}}.
* Though Steel-type moves deal super-effective damage against both {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, there has not yet been a Pokémon of that type combination, and therefore, Steel-type moves cannot currently deal 4× damage.
* All Steel-type moves consist of two words except for Automatize.
* All offensive Steel-type moves target one foe.
* Steel is the only type that has a non-neutral type matchup with all seventeen types, considering both offense and defense.
* Each of the 3 starter types have a different effectiveness when attacking a Steel type Pokémon. Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Steel-types of any [[generation]], with 12.
* Every Steel-type specialist has used {{p|Skarmory}} in their final team.

Talk:Pryce

2011-03-04T06:58:06Z

Galladeon: /* Rematch */ new section

There needs to be some sort of spoiler warning regarding the whole Mask of Ice issue in Special. --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 23:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

== Sheila ==

Is Sheila Pryce's wife, or just his friend? [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 02:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
:She's just an old friend of his. In the dub, at least, they don't mention any relation. I personally always thought of her as his daughter, but that's just me. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 04:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

== Do we really need the Mask of Ice image in Pryce's Article ==

I *know* that Pryce is the Mask of Ice, but the little section about his manga appearance has the "Spoiler Warning" image. And right below that is an image of the Mask of Ice. Images are much more eye catching than text itself, so people may very well be spoiled by that one image in Pryce's article. The Mask of Ice image is fine in its own article, but it's just a spoiler in the Pryce article. -[[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 01:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

== Again about the Mask of Ice ==

Sorry to raise an old issue, but shouldn't we somehow remove the header "As Mask of Ice" from "Pokémon" section? It appears in the table of contents and, of course, no spoiler warnings will help. But I don't know how to do it without hurting the style of the page.

Btw, we should also do something about this talk page. Someone who has just begun reading ''Pokémon Special'' may come to this page. --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 07:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:-points at self-. Hmm...a self made table of contents?'''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''08:03 17 Aug 2008'''''
::Erm... Sorry? If you meant the only solution would be a custom table of contents - are you sure? --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 19:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Is that Mask of Ice bit even necessary? He's not limited on what pokemon he can use based on whether he is in disguise or not. If someone was to move all of his Pokemon into one section, rather than having 'As Pryce' and 'As Mask of Ice', it would not only remove the spoiler appearing in the contents page but it would actually be more accurate. You could even write underneath "Pryce only uses a,b and c when in disguise and only uses x, y and z when out of disguise. --[[User:Gastly's Mama|Gastly's Mama]]

== Young Pryce ==

Has anyone noticed Pryce in his youth looks like [[Gary Oak]] ? [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 00:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== [[Mask of Ice]]/[[Guile Hideout]] ==

I see that both of them are soft redirects but should the info about their alter ego be put in the soft redirect page instead of the person who they really are to prevent "spoilers"?--[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 00:31, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:If you don't want spoilers, then don't go on the internet. '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 22:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

== Does Pryce have unlimited PP on his pokemon? Heart Gold ==

So I've been fighting Pryce for going on an hour now, and his Dewgong has used Rest more than 25 times (I stopped counting) and the max PP for Rest is 16... I've used 2 max elixirs now and I don't have any moves that can one shot this Dewgong. I really don't want to just let my Pokemon die so I can go over train them all just to club this seal. {{unsigned|Twiggsmgw}}
:That's interesting. Try using some X items so you can one-shot it. Also, please sign your comments using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 19:36, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:I finally beat him, got two lucky crits before he could rest again. sorry about not signing, this is my first (well now second) post. [[User:Twiggsmgw|Twiggsmgw]] 20:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Rematch ==

In this article, it says you can talk to him between 7am and 10am every morning to get his phone number, but on the rematch article, it says from 6am to 10am. Which is right? --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 06:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

'''Golduck''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルダック''' ''Golduck'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Psyduck}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Golduck have webbed hands and feet, ending in broad flippers, which they use to swim in rivers and lakes, much in the way as a duck would move. Their blue bodies are especially adapted to have a great hydrodynamic shape, and they have long tails with which they use to steer. Due to their bluish color and webbed hands and feet, Golduck are sometimes mistaken for the Japanese monster and physical inspiration for Golduck, the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}}. Golduck also have red irises, a small, red sphere on their forehead, and four spikes on their head. Though Golduck have no wings, only webbed hands and feet, it is still deemed as a duck instead of a platypus.

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

====Special abilities====
Golduck are fast swimmers, outswimming even the most athletic of humans because of their frog-like webbed hands and feet. The gem on their foreheads glows when they use their psychic powers, and occasionally when they swim at full speed, suggesting that they sometimes use those powers to swim. As shown in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, after evolving from {{p|Psyduck}}, Golduck have greater control of their powers. They have the ability to read minds or even give knowledge to their trainers and fellow Pokémon through telepathy.

===Behavior===
It has been noted that Golduck will often join swimmers when training. They are sometimes found rescuing people lost at sea from danger, their heads shimmering from the telekinetic powers that allow them do so. The headaches that ridiculed its Basic evolution form, {{p|Psyduck}}, don’t trouble Golduck, allowing them to have full use of their formidable mental powers.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Golduck live in fresh-water lakes and in rivers, though they can also be seen occasionally in coastal waters. They can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Golduck anime.png|thumb|right|Golduck in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Golduck's first major role was in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''. {{an|Misty}} thought that her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} had evolved, but it turned out that the Golduck was just some wild Pokémon that happened to act like {{an|Brock}}.

In ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', a Golduck was the boyfriend of an {{p|Azumarill}} that [[Ash's Totodile]] fell in love with.

[[Trinity]] used a Golduck in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in [[EP217|''The Perfect Match]]''.

A Golduck was owned by a very clever trainer named [[Katie]] in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. It defeated [[Ash's Torkoal]] after {{p|Venomoth}} {{m|disable}}d Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defense}} attack. In the [[AG129|following episode]], Katie's Golduck was defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]], despite being under confusion.

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', a wild group of {{type2|Water}} Pokémon whose [[Berry|berries]] were stolen were led by a Golduck.

===Minor appearances===
Golduck first appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. A Golduck owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. The Golduck clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Golduck belonging to {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} made a cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

A Golduck appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]''.

Golduck have been used in many contests, including a [[Fishing]] Contest, [[Sumo Conference]], and the [[Whirl Cup]].

A Golduck also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Golduck}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Blue}} has a Golduck as one of his main team members. Golduck was shown in {{PAV|3}} to be able to bypass {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s {{m|Light Screen}} over [[Saffron City]] by using {{m|Confusion}} to scan the city and channel its visuals to Blue's [[Pokédex]]. It used Confusion once again in {{PAV|4}} to channel Blue's thoughts to the Pokédex.

Golduck was seen again in {{PAV|23}} during the [[double battle]] against {{adv|Red}} on [[Boon Island|Two Island]]. It was heavily damaged by [[Gyara]]'s {{m|Earthquake}} when its plan to use {{m|Dig}} for a surprise attack backfired, knocking it out. It is then healed and seen in the {{ga|Trainer Tower}} and later uses a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}} alongside [[Blasty]], {{DL|Blue (Adventures)|Rhydon}}, and {{adv|Silver}}'s Pokémon to try to stop the TR Airship from crashing in [[Vermilion City]].

==Trivia==
*In some of its Pokédex entries, it mentions Golduck using telekinetic powers. Despite this, it is not a {{type2|Psychic}}, but it can learn a few Psychic-type moves.
**Along with its pre-evolution {{p|Psyduck}}, it couldn't learn {{m|Psychic}} through TM until [[Generation IV]], even though the TM itself existed in every generation.
*Of all the 500 base stat Pokémon, Golduck holds the most well-rounded distribution with a point-range of 17.
*Golduck's [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire versions|Sapphire]] Pokédex entry states that it is the fastest swimmer among Pokémon and yet there are {{type2|Water}} Pokémon from [[Generation III|that generation]] and earlier that have a higher speed stat than Golduck.
**This may refer to raw swimming speed, not combat speed, which could easily be different.
===Origin===
Golduck's physical appearance has aspects of a duck, a {{wp|duck-billed platypus}}, and {{wp|Kappa (mythical creature)|Kappa}} - water imps from Japanese folklore.
====Name origin====
Golduck, in both Japanese and English, is a portmanteau of gold and duck, despite the fact that it is blue, not gold, in color.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Entoron - An extension of ''Ente'' (duck).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Akwakwak - Based off ''aqua'' and ''quack''. Both words are similarly modified with ''kw'' in place of ''qu''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 골덕 ''Goldeok''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 哥達鴨 ''Gē Dá Yā'' - Transliteration of Golduck. The first character means brother and is composed of 2 可, possibly a reference to Psyduck's Chinese name, 可達鴨. The last character means duck.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 高超鴨

Cinnabar Gym

2011-02-24T07:04:15Z

Galladeon: /* Trivia */ In Let's Play FireRed, Sammy defeats this gym fourth (after Brock, Misty, and Koga.) Lt. Surge got a face full of Zapdos due to this.

The '''Cinnabar Gym''' (Japanese: '''グレンジム''' ''Guren Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]. It specializes on {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Volcano}}.

{{sign|FRLG|footer}}

The Cinnabar Gym is a high-tech affair featuring a series of sealed doors. Trivia questions about various Pokémon must be answered to unseal the doors. However, when the player fails to answer a trivia question correctly, a battle with either a Burglar or Super Nerd results, an alternative to unsealing the doors. The questions are:

* ''"Pokémon Quiz! Get it right and the door opens to the next room! Get it wrong and face a trainer! If you want to conserve your Pokémon for the Gym Leader... Then get it right! Here we go! Caterpie evolves into Butterfree?"''
* ''"There are 9 certified Pokémon League Badges?"''
* ''"Poliwag evolves 3 times?''"
* ''"Are thunder moves effective against ground element-type Pokémon?''"
* ''"Pokémon of the same kind and level are not identical?"''
* ''"TM28 contains Tombstone?"''

Even if the player answers the question right, he or she still has the option to challenge the Trainer.

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Blaine's original gym on Cinnabar Island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. This forced him to relocate to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. In Generation IV the room increased in size, the area has trainers, and the floor designs is that of a small flame. The only way to get to Blaine is to talk and battle other trainers so that they could move to a new position, opening a new path.

A field based on the gym also appears in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]].

==In the anime==
The Cinnabar Gym has two sections in the {{pkmn|anime}}; one is inside of the volcano, and has an arena suspended over the lava inside one of the chambers. The other arena is in the top crater of the volcano itself.

[[File:Former Cinnabar Gym.png|thumb|left|The abandoned Cinnabar Gym]]In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} was trying to locate the gym so he could challenge Blaine. He was told by a man who liked telling riddles that the gym was abandoned when Cinnabar Island became a tourist trap. However, the man eventually told Ash that Blaine built another gym inside of a volcano. When Ash and {{Ashfr|the others}} went in, they learned that the riddler was actually Blaine in disguise.

Ash and Blaine battled, but Ash had a series of misfortunes. The first was his {{AP|Squirtle}} being defeated by Blaine's {{p|Ninetales}}. Then, his {{AP|Charizard}} refused to listen to him. Finally, {{AP|Pikachu}} received severe burns caused by [[Blaine's Magmar]] and its powerful {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash called off the battle, not wanting Pikachu to get injured.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', after [[Team Rocket]] had almost destroyed Blaine's gym (and Cinnabar Island as a result), he agreed to a rematch on his alternate battlefield on top of the volcano. This time, Ash was able to defeat Blaine with the help of his Charizard and its {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

==In the TCG==
The Cinnabar Gym was featured in the TCG as both a Japan exclusive {{TCG|Guren Town Gym|Theme Deck}} and as a card. The following is a list of cards named '''Cinnabar City Gym'''.

==Trivia==
* Cinnabar Gym can be considered the "odd one out" in Kanto, as it is the only gym that does not have an advantage to the type of the previous Gym Leader.
* This is the only gym that is located outside a building: in Generations II and IV it is in a cave.
* In the Generation I and III games, it is possible to defeat [[Blaine]] before defeating [[Sabrina]], [[Lt. Surge]], and/or [[Erika]].

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bellossom is quite different physically from the rest of its evolutionary family, such as for its being primarily green in coloration instead of blue, its circular blue eyes instead of dot-like red ones, and for the red markings on its cheeks. Bellossom has two bright red flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves that resemble a skirt. It all adds to an appearance of a hula dancer. It may or may not possess feet (a trait shared by {{p|Jynx}}). However, while performing the "Bel-loop-de-loop" in the episode, ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]'' its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring. This may suggest that Bellossom may not have "feet" per se, but rather leaves that act as substitutions for feet/legs. Also, a Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the Gloom it evolved from smelled.

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

====Special abilities====
When they rub the petals on their head together, it creates a pleasing sound.

===Behavior===
Bellossom are often seen dancing and chanting, resembling cheerleaders, although they're usually not actually cheering for anyone. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Bellossom live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Bellossom anime.png|thumb|right|245px|Bellossom in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Bellossom's first major appearance was in ''[[EP122|Flower Power]]''. A girl named [[Bailey]] had a pair that she wanted to be able to a dance, but one of them was having trouble with the somersault that the dance required.

In ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]'', there was a meadow in which Gloom evolved by collecting sediments of either Leaf Stones or Sun Stones that blew in the wind. The {{p|Vileplume}} and Bellossom were feuding in that area.

===Minor appearances===
Bellossom first appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.

A Bellossom was also used in a {{type2|Grass}} battle in ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]''.

Bellossom was in a garden that [[Ash's Bayleef]] ran off to in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]''.

{{jo|Tammy}} from ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]'' had some Bellossom in her cheerleading squad.

An injured Bellossom appeared under the care of {{ho|Katrina}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

A group of Bellossom were found in a field by [[May (anime)|May]] in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''.

A Bellossom was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Another one also appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''.

A Bellossom appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and {{MPJ|Clefairy}} rescue Princess Bellossom of the Flower Kingdom from Prince Sudowoodo of the Stone Kingdom in ''[[PPP45|Pikachu and Clefairy's Heroic Tales]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

==Other appearances==
[[Image:SSBB Bellossom.png|220px|right|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Bellossom will use its {{m|Sleep Powder}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bellossom makes a return appearance in Brawl, once again using its {{m|Sleep Powder}} to put opponents to sleep and leave them vulnerable to attacks.

==Trivia==
[[File:1999 Bellossom Artwork.png|thumb|right|Bellossom's early artwork]]
* Bellossom is smaller than its pre-evolution, {{p|Gloom}}. The same thing happens to {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Porygon2}} and their respective pre-evolutions.
**It is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight once it evolves. Others are {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Kadabra}} to {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
**It is one of two Pokémon that is both smaller ''and'' lighter than the Pokémon that it evolves from. The other is {{p|Porygon2}}.
**Bellossom is also smaller than its earliest form, {{p|Oddish}}, and is barely heavier than it.
**This makes Bellossom the smallest Pokémon that has evolved twice.
* Early artwork of Bellossom, made prior to the release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, shows it with colors similar to what ended up being its shiny color. In [[Generation III]], its shiny color is closer; however, its body is purple rather than blue. This difference in the original coloring is most likely because the game makers may have wanted Bellossom to have more in common with the rest of its evolutionary line, which all have blue bodies. This is also present in its Gold and Silver artwork.
* Bellossom is the only single-typed Pokémon that evolves from a dual-typed Pokémon (thus the only Pokémon losing secondary type upon evolution).
* Bellossom shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
* Bellossom can only learn {{m|SolarBeam}} by leveling up in generations 2 and 3, but cannot in 4 or 5, despite being associated with the sun.
** Interestingly, while Bellossom cannot learn {{m|SolarBeam}} through leveling up, its counterpart {{p|Vileplume}} can.

===Origin===
Bellossom may be based on a [[wp:hula (dance)|hula]] dancer.

====Name origin====
Bellossom's name is a combination of ''bella'' or ''belle'', Spanish and French for pretty, and ''blossom''. It may also come from ''bell'', referring to the fact that the petals of its skirt make ringing noises. Its Japanese name is a combination of 奇麗 ''kirei'', pretty, and 花 ''hana'', flower.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blubella - Combination of ''Blume'' (bloom, flower) and ''Bella'', possibly to reflect its fondness of dancing. It also might come from ''{{wp|Bluebell}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Joliflor - From ''joli'' (pretty) and a misspelling of ''fleur'' (flower).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아르코 ''Areuko''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 美麗花 ''Měi Lì Huā'' - Literally "Beautiful flower".

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name -- which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智) -- with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Gotta Catch 'em All!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Anime Ash.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon master|Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateurish [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. His [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] was {{pkmn2|caught}} by luck, he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr|his friends}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|movie 2}}, {{OBP|Latias|movie 5}}, [[Lake guardians (anime)#Azelf|Azelf]], {{OBP|Shaymin|movie 11}}, {{an|Giratina}} and {{an|Arceus}}. In the English dub of the [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.
[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh gym badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]], and fought against [[Tobias]], becoming the only Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before.

Ash is now currently in his venture to [[Unova]], bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn and planned to in [[Sinnoh]].

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}} and {{an|Iris}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash Unova Team.png|250px|thumb|Ash's Current Party]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash is a starring character in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a manga series based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Ketchum Electric Tale.png|thumb|right|Ash in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga]]
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

While there are many similarities between the anime and manga versions of Ash, there are several differences as well. For example, while the anime version of Ash appears to be indifferent to love and romance, the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]]. He is also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle or less extreme degree.

Ash's appearance differs in the manga as well. He wears a red jacket, much like {{ga|Red}}'s, instead of the blue he wears in the anime. Also, for the duration of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|first volume]], he wears a different hat, which is solid red with a "PM" on the front. Beginning in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', his hat is changed to match the one he wears in the anime.

Ash owns many of the same Pokémon as in the anime, with a few exceptions: he captures a {{AP|Fearow}} and an {{p|Oddish}}. He also captures a {{p|Mankey}}, which he trades to a shady salesman for a map of [[Mt. Moon]], and a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, which he trades to [[Gary Oak]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|right|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
* Ash typically catches similar teams in each region he travels through.
** Ash's teams often feature the starter Pokémon of each region. In the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]], [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Unova|Unova]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for all three regions.
** He has caught each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita|Bayleef}}, {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} and {{AP|Snivy}}
** He also caught the three {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] whose English names begin with a 'C' and whose Japanese names begin with a ヒ ''hi'': {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} (''Hitokage''), {{AP|Cyndaquil|Quilava}} (''Hinoarashi''), and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} (''Hikozaru'').
** He always catches each region's local bird-like Pokémon: {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}} in Kanto, {{AP|Noctowl}} in Johto, {{AP|Taillow|Swellow}} in Hoenn, {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in Sinnoh, and {{AP|Pidove}} in Unova. Thus far, Ash has evolved each species to its final form, except for {{AP|Pidove}}, which was only captured recently, and Noctowl, who was captured in its final form.
** Ash has two fully-evolved {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] ({{AP|Sceptile}} and {{AP|Torterra}}) and two fully-evolved {{type2|Fire}} starter Pokémon ({{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Infernape}}). None of his {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon have evolved at all, or even indicated their desire to.
** He has caught, befriended, used, or otherwise had under his command at least one Pokémon of every type except for the {{t|Steel}} types.
** In addition, Ash always manages to catch at least one {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Flying}} by the [[Pokémon League]] of each region. {{AP|Pikachu}} also always accompanies Ash, and as a result he always has an {{type2|Electric}} as well.
* Ash has caught at least two starter Pokémon in each region except [[Hoenn]] where he only caught {{AP|Treecko|Sceptile}}.
* Ash has encountered every legendary Pokémon from the first four generations at least once.
* Ash has only caught Pokémon when he does not have a full party of six, except for when he caught {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}}.
* Ash has [[trade]]d away three Pokémon: {{AP|Butterfree}}, {{AP|Raticate}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. Of these three, Butterfree was the only one Ash got back, and also the only one that is not {{type2|Normal}}.
* Ash has several Pokémon in common with {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rivals; [[Paul]] and {{an|Barry}}. He and Paul both own a {{p|Torterra}} and have owned a {{p|Gliscor}} as well as both training the same {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} at some point. Like Ash, Barry owns a {{p|Staraptor}} and a {{p|Heracross}}. Other rivals of Ash's have had alike Pokémon; {{Gary}} has also owned a {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Krabby}}, [[Ritchie]] has a [[Sparky|Pikachu]], [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Taillow}}, [[Morrison]] has a {{p|Gligar}}; and [[Tyson]] has a {{p|Sceptile}} and {{p|Donphan}}. The latter two had them on their league teams before Ash would later obtain them himself. [[Shooti]] had a [[Shooti's Janovy|Snivy]] and {{jo|Jimmy}} has owned {{TP|Jimmy|Cyndaquil|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Beedrill}}.
* Ash has never caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types. This excludes [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-typed {{t|Water}}/{{type2|Psychic}}.
* Ash's current party in {{series|Best Wishes}} is his only party in which all of the genders of his Pokémon have been confirmed{{tt|*|Zuruggu's gender was confirmed only by Nintendo event}}.
** In addition, Ash's current party marks the first time he has obtained a complete party of five unevolved Pokemon.
*** The sixth, Pikachu, was unevolved when it was first introduced.

===Challenge/Gym related===
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* In the [[original series]], Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in a case.
* Ash has battled six legendary Pokémon. He has defeated four of these.
* Ash has so far battled five [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei]], {{EF|Drake}}, [[Agatha]], {{EF|Flint}} and [[Bertha]]. He has lost to all five without defeating a single Pokémon of theirs.
* The largest number of episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the gap between the {{ci|Snowpoint}} and {{ci|Sunyshore}} Gyms, starting in ''[[DP127|Sliding into Seventh!]]'' and ended in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', where Ash finally won the Beacon Badge. The gap was a total of 52 episodes. The shortest amount of time between badges was the [[EP006|one-episode]] gap between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''.

===Miscellaneous===
[[File:Ash maid.png|100px|thumb|Ash crossdressing for the third time]]
[[File:Ash new eye style.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash's new eye style in Best Wishes]]
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* Lines similar to lightning bolts are found on Ash's cheeks, as well as in his hair. This may be a reference to Ash's starter Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, who also has electric cheeks.
* Ash has crossdressed three times. The first time he did this was in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', in the [[original series]]. He crossdressed a second time in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' marked the third time he crossdressed, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some way.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an {{wp|eggplant}} in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
* Several of the variety of {{wp|ash tree}}s, from which his name could be derived, are related to Kanto in some way: not only are there trees known as the "red ash", "green ash", and "blue ash", for the first three games, but also the "indigo ash", for the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* [[Arnold]] and [[Travis]] are both [[doppelgänger]]s of Ash. His first meeting with both of [[Arnold's mother|their]] [[Luana|mothers]] was being mistaken for them and embraced in a hug as the boys were away from home at the time.
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* In Ash's Unova design, his eye irises are larger to match most other people in the anime, like artwork of Red from Generation III. Excluding clothing, this is Ash's first physical change since his debut in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash is the only one in his [[Ash's friends|current traveling group]] not to have a bow-like article of [[List of clothing in the anime|clothing]]. Iris has a bow on her skirt and Dent has a {{wp|bow tie}}.

===Rewards===
For defeating [[Candice]], trainers receive the {{badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.
===In the Anime===
Ash battled here in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', where he earned the {{badge|Icicle}}.

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint Gym is the second {{type2|Ice}} Gym that is in the seventh spot in the Pokémon world. The first one was the [[Mahogany Gym]] in Johto lead by [[Pryce]] in [[Mahogany Town]] who hands out the {{badge|Glacier}} when defeated.
** Both badges are known as the Glacier Badge in different languages.
* In Unova, the seventh gym (coincidentally an {{type2|Ice}} Gym) gives out the Icicle Badge, the same badge name as this one.

Animation physics

2011-01-16T22:25:42Z

Galladeon: /* Move and type effectiveness errors */ those are consistent with their contest effects. Also, where the hell does the anime explanation of Pikachu being able to affect ground-types come from?

{{cleanup}}
'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the {{Pkmn|games}}. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and the {{wp|magic satchel}} theory (the ability to hold innumerable items in one [[bag]]).

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. The anime is generally more focused on telling a story in one or more episodes than focusing on details. The writers will often twist or bend physics so that the plot can unfold the way they want it to. Sometimes these events are a case of oversight; anime physics do not seem unusual unless someone stops to think about how a situation would work in the real world.

==Examples==

===Loose physics===
Some phenomena that appear in the anime (as well as the entire Pokémon canon) are impossible in real-world physics.
* [[Poké Ball]]s change in size and convert Pokémon to and from a plasma-like substance (the Pokémon retains its consciousness in this state).
* Moves like {{m|Water Gun}} are depicted as spitting water, but usually the Pokémon spits much more water than its body could hold.
* In ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'', {{p|Hippopotas}} initially doesn't weigh down Team Rocket's balloon, but it does after using {{m|Sand Tomb}}. This means the move creates the sand out of nothing.
* Nearly everything explodes in the anime. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so (even, and some would say especially, inert, non-volatile substances such as leaves or water).
**In contests, almost every move will explode and send a shower of sparkles down into the crowd.
**Some moves explode when they clearly cannot, such as a {{m|Bite}} attack.
**Sometimes moves are amplified in power and even made to explode just to enable them to blast off [[Team Rocket#In the anime|Team Rocket]].
* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual despite their weight, either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating.
** On a similar note, many attacks do not move at the speed they normally would (or should), sometimes even leaving enough time for characters to have a three or four sentence conversation. And example is in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. Barry has his Empoleon use {{m|Hydro Pump}} a few seconds before Ash's Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, and they clash in the exact middle of the battlefield. This could just mean that that Flamethrower accelerates much quicker, but before the attacks even collide, Jessie gets in several lines of dialogue.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air, sometimes crashing through the roof of a building or a cave wall, by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never get too hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning, normally after making a humorous comment.
** In ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', Team Rocket is already flying when the episode starts and they don't land during the episode.
* Pokémon often disobey Newton's Third Law: Attacks, such as Hyper Beam, that blast the target backwards do nothing of the sort to the user. This is especially notable with flying or levitating Pokémon; they can't even brace themselves against the ground.
* In ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', Team Rocket's Mime Jr. can be seen running on top of Wobbuffet while staying in place. This would be impossible because then Mime Jr. would run in Wobbuffet's inertial reference frame and increase speed in respect to Wobbuffet.
* Whenever Team Rocket has prop decoys such as a fake building to hide away from pursuers, the building always decreases in height after it falls so that the pursuers are not crushed.

===Magic satchels===
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags or pockets, especially Brock, from a sleeping bag to the things he uses to cook.
*In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40–50 sketch books to show Professor Oak and then puts them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.

===Move and type effectiveness errors===
* Many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it will cause damage.
** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[M03|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[M10|Maury's Torterra]]).
*** Since the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Electric-type attacks have been consistently shown to have no effect on Ground-type Pokémon.
* {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} attacked and damaged [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG173|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* In multiple instances, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, despite being a {{type2|Ghost}} attack.
* Pokémon surviving [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO]] attacks, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting.
* Some non-damaging attacks cause damage to the Pokémon being attacked, such as [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] using {{m|Tail Whip}}, and [[Pyramid King Brandon#Dusclops|Brandon's Dusclops]] using {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
** In the case of the latter, it affected [[Ash's Charizard]], which should normally be unaffected by Will-O-Wisp due to it being a {{type2|Fire}}.
* {{m|Safeguard}} has been able to protect against attacks instead of status problems.
* {{m|Light Screen}} has been able to block physical attacks, even though it usually only affects special attacks.

===Other conflicts with the games===
* The weight of some Pokémon is sometimes ignored in the anime:
** {{Ash}} was able to pick up {{TP|Ash|Larvitar}} despite it weighing more than [[List of Pokémon by weight|150 lbs (70 kg)]], according to game data. {{p|Hippopotas}} is also similar, due to the fact that there are 109 lbs (49 kg) of weight is bearing down on Ash's head and neck. Someone of similar stature in the real world would be prone to serious (if not irreparable) head, back, and/or neck injuries. Similarly, {{an|May}}'s {{TP|May|Beautifly}} has often landed on people's heads with no adverse effects despite the species weighing 62 lbs (24 kg).
** In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', Jessie picks up [[May's Munchlax]] and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100kg). On another note of this, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', [[Max]] was able to carry it on his back despite Munchlax weighing around four times as much as Max.
* The anime often makes Pokémon bigger than the games say they are, like {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.
* In the anime, certain {{type2|Water}} Pokémon like {{p|Carvanha}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} can't be used by Trainers without being in water when [[Pokémon battle|battling]], unlike how they seem to "float" over the ground in the games, specifically the 3D games.

'''Ash's Staraptor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクホーク''' ''Satoshi's Mukuhawk'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Starly.png|As a {{p|Starly}}|200px|thumb|left]]
Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu. In ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', Starly had its first battle against another Starly belonging to [[Paul]] and lost.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Immediately after its evolution Staravia had perfectly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Evolving has also allowed it to grow much stronger and become very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only one of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh [[Gym]] battle against [[Roark]]; however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}}. After seeing [[Reggie]]'s {{p|Staraptor}} use the powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attack, Ash was inspired to teach it to Staravia. In the third Sinnoh [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Staravia defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Meditite}}, as well as successfully mastering Brave Bird.

[[File:Ash Staravia.png|As a {{p|Staravia}}|200px|thumb|left]]

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Squallville]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process. Shortly after its evolution, Staraptor learned {{m|Close Combat}} and defeated [[Paul's Honchkrow]], earning Ash his first victory over [[Paul]].

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' it was used in the gym battle against [[Candice]], where it was easily defeated by her {{TP|Candice|Abomasnow}} after winning against her {{p|Medicham}}.

It battled in {{Ash}} and [[Paul]]'s [[full battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' where it went up against {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} and [[Paul#Pokémon|Weavile]]. It managed to defeat Weavile, despite the type-disadvantage. In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'' it also fought against [[Paul's Ursaring]], but lost quickly.

Staraptor was used in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' against Nando's {{TP|Nando|Roserade}}. It was able to defeat it with a powerful Brave Bird attack, but was defeated by Nando's powerful {{p|Armaldo}}.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', it was used against Paul's {{p|Gastrodon}}. Ash realized that Paul's Gastrodon could use Counter Shield, and Staraptor was hit by the technique. When Gastrodon slammed it on the ground, it managed to use {{m|Close Combat}} on the ground to get away, but was hit with an {{m|Ice Beam}} in the process. It started to show signs of tiring, so Ash decided to recall it in place of {{AP|Buizel}}. Later on in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', after {{AP|Buizel}} fell to [[Paul's Drapion]] Ash called it out again. However, it was unable to triumph against the superior power of Drapion's {{m|Cross Poison}} and {{m|Toxic Spikes}}.

It is assumed that Ash left Staraptor at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] when he decided to go to [[Unova]].

==Trivia==
* Despite the fact {{Ash}}'s Staraptor and other members of his evolution family know {{m|Gust}}, it is impossible for {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, or {{p|Staraptor}} to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. The dub changed it to {{m|Whirlwind}} in Starly's initial appearance, but left it as Gust until ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]'', when it was dubbed as Whirlwind again, and has been since.
* For ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード ''{{tt|Mukkuru|Starly}} ga, mukumuku shinka, {{tt|Mukubird|Staravia}}'' "Mukkuru evolves abruptly, Mukubird."
* Though Staraptor is confirmed to be male, the Czech dub refers to it as female. The same happens in the Latin American Spanish dub. This is probably due to his [[Sarah Natochenny|female English voice actor]].
* Upon evolution into Staravia, it was the 40th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting the technically unofficial {{AP|Larvitar}} and {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}.
* Staraptor's method of evolving to its final stage is [[AG080|similar]] to [[Ash's Swellow]], through a [[PokéRinger]] competition.
** The evolution is also similar to that of [[Ash's Grotle]], having evolved against [[Paul's Honchkrow]].
* Upon its final evolution, Staraptor became the 50th Pokémon that Ash has obtained, including evolutions and counting [[Ash Ketchum#Temporary|Seaking]] and {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}. However, Haunter was not officially his and Seaking was released as part of contest rules.
* Staraptor is Ash's second Pokémon to [[evolution|evolve]] while battling against one of Ash's [[rival]]s, the first being Ash's Grotle.
* Staraptor is Ash's only {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type Pokémon to go through two stages of evolution while in his care. While {{AP|Pidgeot}} is a second evolution Pokémon, Ash caught it when it was already a {{p|Pidgeotto}}.
* Staraptor is the first of Ash's regional birds to be confirmed as male.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. His universal voice actress is [[Ikue Ohtani]]. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub series, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided Pikachu's voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==History==
[[File:First Meeting.png‎|200px|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to his new Trainer, constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into its [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.

[[File:Ash 1st Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|200px|The Poké Ball Professor Oak stored Pikachu in has a special lightning bolt mark. This Poké Ball has never been owned by Ash as he uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall Pikachu, and the other three Poké Balls that held Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle were still on the podium but empty, implying that Pikachu's first Poké Ball has been left empty as well.]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Steelix|Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed its decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], and [[Corn]]'s {{p|Panpour}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to Shooti's Janovy, despite Shooti being a starting trainer and recently having obtained Janovy.

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his clone repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Pikachu was controlled by Butch and Cassidy, which caused him to become evil and disobey Ash's commands. During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|developed amnesia at one point]] and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack his friends, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|240px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood.]]
As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of him. A Pikachu appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu is the primary protagonist of several [[Pikachu shorts|short films]] that feature only Ash and his friends' Pokémon. He was seen helping {{p|Delibird}} collect his missing presents, helped to build the {{p|Snorlax}} snowman, helping to put up a Christmas tree and help reunite the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} to its parent. It was also seen in a dream that {{an|Misty}} had.

Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Even with its high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock-types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning [[Iron Tail]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock-types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Since then, it has become one of Pikachu's signature moves.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].
[[File:PikachuStatic.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} ability]]
In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} and defeated it with a Volt Tackle to the face. He also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing {{AP|Buizel}} time to recover. In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with {{m|Quick Attack}}, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.
[[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Pikachu]]
Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled {{EF|Flint}}'s {{p|Infernape}}, but it was defeated after a long fight.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s Electivire and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the Electabuzz evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. It was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where it put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before it was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. It went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled Paul's Electivire, but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle [[Tobias]] in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried its best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu is about to land, Latios used Luster Purge. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, it was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.

In [[BW001]], Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose its ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this when it battled [[Shooti]]'s {{TP|Shooti|Snivy|Janovy}}, losing in the process. In [[BW002]], it regained its ability to use Electric-type attacks and was used in battle which lead to the capture of {{AP|Pidove}}. In [[BW005]], Ash used Pikachu in his gym battle at the [[Sanyou Gym]], where he faced [[Corn]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit. In [[BW010]], he battled Shooti's {{p|Hatooboo}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. It took a beating from multiple Aerial Aces, but showed Shooti the power of its electrical attacks by defeating Hatooboo with Volt Tackle. It then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into Janovy. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In [[BW013]], Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{ga|Bianca}} and her {{p|Chaoboo}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Chaoboo with a powerful Volt Tackle.

=====Moves improvised=====
[[File:Pikachu's Counter Shield.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using Counter Shield]]
*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When Giselle called for Cubone to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to 'Leer right back' by making funny faces. Ash also told Pikachu to use Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]'', when a {{p|Houndour}} used its own Leer on Pikachu.

*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat Drake's Ditto in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo!]]''.

*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.
[[File:Pikachu Volt Tail.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using Volt Tail]]
*'''Thunder Armor''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the Coal Badge.

*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against [[Tobias]]'s {{p|Latios}}.

*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.

*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

==In the games==

{{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}
{{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon, but in {{game|Yellow}}, it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves used most recently by Ash's Pikachu, as well.

A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15th through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu will soon be distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 5, 2011.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the [[Ash and Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series, which is based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from [[Professor Oak]] - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a herd of wild {{p|Spearow}} and {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu.

Later on, when Ash is in a gym battle with Misty, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her Gyarados and does not battle, while in his gym battle with Sabrina, it is easily bested by her Abra.

Pikachu likes {{an|Misty}} and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Despite the fact that {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the signature move of his evolutionary line, is in fact an egg move, Ash's Pikachu learned the move "by accident," when using an electrically-charged {{m|Quick Attack}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn. However, Pikachu is the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character that can evolve.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all six regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of all three, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and in the case of Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, ended up destroying the [[Bicycle|bike]] of a particular girl who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
** Coincidentally, the three regions he started with only Pikachu were all from odd-numbered generations.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu [[Walking Pokémon|outside his Poké Ball]] on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** {{an|Misty}} never put {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside a Poké Ball and was always shown carrying it in her arms.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
** {{an|Iris}} also does this with her {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and keeps it in her hair.
* Out of Ash's Pokémon, Pikachu was the first one to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon during battle in the anime, defeating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' and {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] of the Hoenn League in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. However, in both occasions, the two [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon had been weakened by other Pokémon in Ash's team at the time; {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Tauros}} had weakened {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} while {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} had weakened {{p|Metagross}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Pikachu also tied with Tobias's Latios in [[DP189]].
* Most of the moves Pikachu used in the [[original series]] were first used in an episode with the word ''showdown'' in its title.
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it was revealed that Pikachu has a fear of Ash leaving him.
[[File:PikachuDP.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
* In many new episodes, Pikachu's tail sparks instead of his cheeks when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is male. When a {{p|Togepi}} used {{m|Attract}} on Pikachu, {{MTR}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, all but Yanmega were affected (coincidentally, this also revealed Yanmega as being female). Voice actress Ikue Ohtani stated prior to this episode that the writers had intended to keep Pikachu's gender ambiguous so the fanbase can connect with him more easily.
** Ash also referred to Pikachu as a male in the dub of ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. Shortly after [[Officer Jenny]] first arrives, Ash proclaims in dismay, "You just gotta find him, Officer Jenny!"
** Pikachu's gender can also be inferred from Buneary's infatuation with Pikachu, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]''.
** His gender was also implied long before, in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', where he refers to himself, {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} as ぼくたち ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|boku-tachi}}'', which is a male speaker-only pronoun meaning "we", also used by characters such as [[Max]] and {{an|Dent}} in the Japanese version.
* Pikachu was the only member of Ash's Sinnoh team that did not learn a new move in the Sinnoh region.
* It is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].
*In {{pmin|Latin America}}, Cartoon Network has a "Biografia Toon" segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by [[Professor Oak]] and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
*The defeat of [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} marks the first time Pikachu has defeated a member of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line one on one. All previous times it has either tied or lost, with the exception of [[Dr. Namba]]'s Electabuzz, where Pikachu teamed up with [[Ritchie]]'s Pikachu, [[Sparky]], to defeat it.
*Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others.
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in trouble by imitating people and Pokémon.
* Pikachu is one of two Pokémon owned by Ash to have a [[baby Pokémon|baby form]] introduced in a generation after its capture, the other being {{AP|Snorlax}}.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation]]'', [[Team Rocket]] refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*Pika Pikachu or Pika-Pika Pikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], he says this.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|200px|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}} in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go!]]'']]
*Pi-Kachu: He says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock)
*Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
[[File:Pikachu as ash.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'' ]]
*Pi?: Used when addressing something unknown. Can mean, "What?"
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor) or ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape)
*Pi-kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
*PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket).
*Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' He says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu Imitating Turtwig.png|200px|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu imitating his Turtwig to alert him that it is missing in ''[[DP044|Mass-Hip-Po-Sis!]]'']]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. He says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. He says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*Pikaaaaaa-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunder}}''. He says this when using {{m|Thunder}}, like above but with different and a longer stress.
*PikaPikaPika... Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. He says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. He may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. He may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.

'''Gyara''' (Japanese: '''ギャラ''' ''Gyara'') is one of the [[Pokémon]] owned by {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

==History==
Gyara debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in his own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. He attacks his original trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaptured by {{adv|Red}}, who returns him to her. Later on it is revealed that the drastic change in his attitude was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', where [[Koga]] shamelessly remarks, "Hmm? How should we know of every Pokémon we experiment on?", earning Misty's rage.

In ''[[PS025|You know... Articuno!]]'' Misty trades this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}} since it already knew {{m|Surf}}, and the HM03 he found was destroyed by a wild {{p|Dragonite}} that Gyara defeats. Although Red was happy to have obtained it, because of its earlier ferocity it was isolated by Red's other Pokémon. When they ran into Team Rocket again, Gyara was forced to relive some painful memories of its painful experimentation. Red had his other Pokémon help it through that traumatic experience and after that it was broken into the group and now its other Pokémon trusted it more. Although one of the powerhouses of his team, it was unused in his siege with the Team Rocket executives in [[Saffron City]] and the Pokémon League, where {{adv|Blue}} anticipated its usage, but instead [[Poli]] was used for the Lightning Rod strategy to work. It was however utilized earlier in the fight against {{Adv|Mewtwo}} that led to its capture (where the {{DL|Poké Ball|Great Ball}} used by Misty to contain it was blown away, and instead a normal Poké Ball was used to recover it), and nearly defeated {{OP|Bruno|Onix}} {{p|Onix}} in battle before being defeated with {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Lax}} and [[Saur]] when [[Agatha]] and [[Lorelei]] arrive and team up with the mind-controlled [[Bruno]].

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, it was lent to {{adv|Blue}} by Red, who remarks that it isn't fair to just take his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} without a trade, and it is used as one of his team members in the mock Pokémon League, though not to fight his old mentor [[Chuck]]. By the {{chap|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, it has since been returned to Red, and he uses it in his Double Battle against his old rival, where it fires a devastating {{m|Hyper Beam}} before being paralyzed by {{p|Porygon2}}'s {{m|Tri Attack}}. It is critically wounded shielding Red from {{Adv|Deoxys}}'s {{m|Psycho Boost}} attack with its teammates, but participates in the chase for the unstable {{p|Forretress}} [[Carr]] left behind before they blow up the airship they were riding on with their combined {{m|Explosion}}. It has not been seen since.

'''Ash's Butterfree''' (Japanese: '''サトシのバタフリー''' ''Satoshi's Butterfree'') was the first [[wild Pokémon]] caught by {{Ash}} in the [[Kanto]] region, although it was the second obtained. It was also the first Pokémon he released. He is also the first fully evolved Pokémon Ash ever obtained.

==History==
[[File:Ash Caterpie.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Caterpie]]
First appearing at the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' and being captured in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', he was the first [[wild Pokémon]] Ash caught when he threw a [[Poké Ball]] at a {{p|Caterpie}} he encountered in the [[Viridian Forest]]. Remarkably, he caught him without a [[Pokémon battle]], which {{an|Misty}} attributed to Caterpie's weakness. Caterpie was quite fond of Misty, but, much to Caterpie's misfortune, she wanted nothing to do with him because he was a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, which she feared. The night after he was captured, Caterpie and [[Ash's Pikachu]] talked to each other, and Caterpie revealed his desire to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Butterfree}}. He then became very sad, as if he was not sure he could do it, but Pikachu encouraged him. He fell asleep next to Misty, who screamed at him the next morning for this and hurt his feelings.

Caterpie was the first Pokémon Ash sent out against the next Pokémon he tried to capture, [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]. With a large disadvantage against the {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, he was beaten severely. Despite this, when [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} appeared to attempt to steal Pikachu, Ash sent out his weakened Caterpie against them. They laughed, but Caterpie had the last laugh, taking down both [[James's Koffing]] and [[Jessie's Ekans]] by himself using {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Tackle}}. Just as Misty was about to get over her fear and congratulate Caterpie on his victory, he evolved into {{p|Metapod}}, which bothered her even more.
[[File:Ash Metapod‎.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Metapod]]
In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Metapod was sent out in a battle against [[Samurai]], and managed to defeat his {{p|Pinsir}} despite only being able to use {{m|Harden}}. Samurai decided to send his own Metapod out against Ash's; neither could attack, and both had to sit stationary and keep hardening. This was interrupted by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} that snatched Ash's Metapod away when he forgot to pick him up before running off. Ash felt guilty about this and became determined to get his Metapod back, finding him with a hive of {{p|Kakuna}}. The [[Team Rocket]] trio showed up and woke up the whole hive of Beedrill with their {{motto}}, giving Ash a chance to rescue his Metapod. He was unhappy with Ash, but the Trainer tried to make an excuse and claim he didn't abandon Metapod—however, when he tripped on a rock and dropped Metapod, Ash owned up to his mistake and swore to never leave his Pokémon behind again. Metapod was moved by this and, seeing a Beedrill about to attack Ash, leapt up and took the blow, breaking the Beedrill's stinger and getting a large gash in his shell. Metapod then evolved into Butterfree and stopped all the Beedrill with his {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack.

While he was with him, Butterfree was a close companion of Ash's who fought in many battles, including his battle against Misty at the [[Cerulean Gym]] during ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. He was notable for his courage, willingly taking on any foe and often proving himself to be much stronger than expected. In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', Ash used him in a battle against a [[Gentleman]] with a {{AP|Raticate}}, who afterwards asked to [[trade]] the Pokémon. Ash accepted, but found that Butterfree meant too much to him to keep the Raticate, and was so set on trading them back that he did it while the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] was sinking, causing him and his friends to be trapped inside.
[[File:Pink Butterfree.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash's Butterfree and its mate]]
The last time Butterfree was seen with Ash was in ''[[EP021|Bye-Bye Butterfree]]''. At the start of this episode, Ash saw a large number of Butterfree flying around in the sky, and Brock told him that it was the Butterfree mating season. Ash realized that his Butterfree would probably want to have babies like the other Butterfree, and so he and his friends rented a hot air balloon and watched Butterfree mingle with the others. Despite Brock's encouragement for Butterfree to choose one belonging to a cute female trainer, Butterfree found his heart set on a [[pink Butterfree]]. He tried to impress the pink Butterfree with some fancy flying, only to be rejected with a slap in the face. Heartbroken, he flew into the woods below, followed by Ash and his friends who tried to encourage Butterfree, telling him to be assertive and tying a yellow ribbon around his neck to help him catch the pink Butterfree's eye. Butterfree tried a second time to impress the pink Butterfree with his {{m|Whirlwind}} and Tackle attacks, but this failed as well. Then, Team Rocket showed up in a helicopter and captured all the Butterfree but Ash's in a giant net. Butterfree pursued them, followed by Ash and friends in their hot air balloon, and they headed into a canyon where the Butterfree were stashed. They broke in and Ash battled Team Rocket while Butterfree used his Tackle against the cage the Butterfree were in, finally getting the attention of the pink Butterfree. He broke open the cage, and the Butterfree all flew free. Team Rocket tried a second time to capture all the Butterfree, only to be stopped by both Butterfree and Pikachu. Afterwards, the pink Butterfree approached Ash's Butterfree and the two paired up. The two departed as Ash watched in tears, remembering what the two had been through together and wishing his dear friend a fond farewell.

It is a common misconception that Butterfree die after mating. However, this comes from a mistranslation and there is nothing to stop Butterfree returning in the future.

Ash's Butterfree has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, ''[[Spurt!]]'', along with his mate, the {{shiny|pink}} Butterfree. However, he has not returned in any episodes since his last appearance. Ash has, however, flashed back to having him several times, such as in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'' and ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]''.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
[[File:Ash Butterfree EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Butterfree in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Butterfree appears in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like in the anime, he is one of Ash's first Pokémon, however, he is the second wild Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga, the first is {{TP|Ash|Fearow}}.

Ash's Butterfree first appears and is captured as a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]''. He evolves into {{p|Metapod}} at the beginning of ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'' when Ash is showing off all of his Pokémon to {{an|Misty}}. Later in the same chapter, during Ash's Gym battle against Misty, Metapod evolves into Butterfree.

Ash's Butterfree is seen again in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' battling a wild {{p|Onix}} and in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'' battling the Black Fog, but he is not used again after that. He may have been released like he was in the anime, however, no scenes implying this are shown in the manga. Butterfree is not shown when Ash brings his entire [[party]] out of their [[Poké Ball]]s in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''.

Ash's Caterpie was given the [[nickname]] "Felix" (a reference to the cartoon character {{wp|Felix the Cat}}) in ''Play Misty For Me'', however, like the other nicknames that appear in that chapter, it seems to have been a one-off gag nickname.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Butterfree evolved third fastest of all Pokémon in the anime, after [[Xander]]'s {{p|Caterpie}} who appeared in the episode ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'' and [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}. It took altogether less than 2 episodes to evolve two stages whereas the other Caterpie evolved two stages within an episode and Jessie's Yanma evolved one stage within one episode.
* Ash decided to catch another Caterpie in the episode ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' but was quickly dragged off by {{an|Misty}}, which was the only time where he wanted to catch a Pokémon from the same species that he had successfully caught before (though he did so ''without'' wanting to 29 times over with his {{AP|Tauros}}).
* As a Caterpie, it was the first Pokémon owned by a main character to make its debut in an episode prior to that of its capture (others include {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Ash's Infernape|Chimchar]], {{AP|Gible}} and {{AP|Oshawott}}). One could say that Caterpie's appearance at the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' was a technicality, however, as the first few episodes tended to overlap their beginnings and endings with the previous and next episodes.
* Caterpie is also the first of a main character's Pokémon who had his artwork changed to match the recent Sugimori art despite being introduced before the change (in a flashback of ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', Caterpie's mouth was green, as in the Generation III Sugimori art, when at the time of its introduction it was yellow).
* In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', [[Jessie]] released her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} in a similar fashion that Butterfree was released. Also, Dustox chose a mate of an {{shiny|alternate coloration}}, just like Butterfree did.
** Also, both Pokémon were given yellow clothing articles shortly before their respective releases (Butterfree has a scarf, and Dustox has ribbons).
** Also both were released in the twenty-first episode of a season.
* Butterfree was the first Pokémon Ash caught, the first he evolved, the first to get its gender confirmed, the first one to reach its final form, the first he traded (although it was traded back), and the first he released.
* In the English translation of [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the order of ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'' and ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' is reversed. This creates a continuity error, as Butterfree appears in ''Clefairy Tale'', even though he supposedly doesn't evolve until one chapter later.
* As a Caterpie, it was the only Pokémon that Ash captured first in a region that was unable to fly.
** However, upon evolution to Butterfree it gained the ability to fly, so it could be said that the first Pokémon Ash has captured in all the regions he has traveled through has had the ability to fly.

According to Serebii.net, Lapras, as well as Growlithe's #s in the dex are changed. Lapras new # is 224, and Growlithe and Arcaniane are 129 and 130 respectively. o_O '''***''[[User:Supernicknobros|Super!]]''~[[User talk:Supernicknobros|Nickno]]''' 14:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

They are available in Heart Gold... just ran into five in a row on route 37. Think it might be a swarm. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 01:44, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level

2011-01-11T01:34:20Z

Galladeon: /* Trivia */ 'at or above the lowest level are at least half bug-type' so every Pokemon that evolves by level-up is at least half bug-type?

The vast majority of Pokémon that evolve do so [[Methods_of_evolution#At_or_above_a_certain_level|at or above a certain level]]. This is a list of those Pokémon ordered by the lowest level at which they may evolve, from the lowest (Level 7) to the highest (Level 64).

*While {{p|Combee}} is listed as evolving at or above level 21, this is only true if it is female, since male Combee do not evolve.
*Under the right circumstances, {{p|Nincada}} will essentially evolve into both a {{p|Ninjask}} and a {{p|Shedinja}} at the same time when it reaches or surpasses level 20.
*All {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and {{p|Burmy}} evolve at or above the levels listed above, but the Pokémon that they evolve into are determined by [[Methods of evolution#Additional factors|additional factors]].
*{{p|Slowpoke}}, male {{p|Kirlia}}, and female {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve either into one Pokémon at the levels listed above or into a different Pokémon through another method.

==Trivia==
*All Pokémon that evolve at the lowest levels (7 and 10) are at least half {{type2|Bug}}.
*The mean level is about 27.36.
*The median level is 28.
*20 Pokémon evolve at or above level 30, making it the statistical mode.

'''James's Carnivine''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのマスキッパ''' ''Kojiro's Muskippa'') was the only [[Pokémon]] that [[James]] obtained in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==History==
[[Image:JamesCarnivine.png|250px|thumb|left|Carnivine showing affection]]
James originally {{pkmn2|caught}} Carnivine in the [[Great Marsh]] as a boy, as mentioned in a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]''. It made its debut in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]''. In this episode, [[Team Rocket]] went to [[James's parents]]' vacation home in [[Sinnoh]] and James found Carnivine's [[Poké Ball]] among a collection of bottlecaps, but left quickly after being told [[Jessiebelle]] was on her way. He decided to bring Carnivine with him.
Carnivine continues the series' running gag of James's {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon showing affection for him by hurting him whenever they are released from their balls. This affection is probably due to the fact that [[James]] and Carnivine shared a close bond when James was a child.

Since James found it, Carnivine has taken {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s place as his main battling Pokémon.

In [[Jessie|Jessilina]]'s Sinnoh Contest [[DP011|debut]], Carnivine was used in both Appeal and Battle rounds. In the Appeal Round, Carnivine used {{m|Bullet Seed}} on a lollipop that Jessie threw and amazed the crowd by biting Jessie's head. In the Battle round, it is seen defeating a Rhydon for Jessie, showing that it is a strong battler, and thanks to it, Jessie reached the final stage. However, it lost against [[Zoey's Glameow]].

In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Jessie used Carnivine in the {{to|Chocovine}} Contest Battle Rounds, where it got to the semi-finals, losing to [[Ursula's Gabite]].

Carnivine was also used in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' to compete in the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest Battle Rounds. Together with James, who was the one disguised as Jessilina at that time, they defeated {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} in the semifinals and eventually won the ribbon.

Carnivine was used by Jessilina multiple times in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], with the [[DP176|final one]] ending in her defeat to {{an|Dawn}}.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, James was forced to leave Carnivine at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native to the [[Unova]] region and would seem suspicious.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about James's Carnivine. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: マスキッパ　きょうもはらぺこ　すきっぱら ''{{tt|Muskippa|Carnivine}} is also starving today: empty stomach.''
* Carnivine is the third Pokémon that James has owned that shows its affection for him at the same time hurting him in the process. The first one was {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, followed by {{TP|James|Cacnea}}.
** All of them also happen to be {{type2|Grass}}s.
* Carnivine is the first of [[Jessie]] and James's Pokémon (including {{MTR}}) to learn a new [[move]] while under their ownership. [[James's Cacnea]] learned a new move, {{m|Drain Punch}}, while training under [[Gardenia]].
