'''The Cave of Dragonflies''' (also TCoD) is a Pokémon fan site run and managed by Butterfree, also known as Dragonfree or antialiasis.

The site focuses primarily on the [[Pokémon games]] and various original theories and opinions by the webmistress.

==History==
The Cave of Dragonflies started on November 2nd, 2002 as a website called Butterfree's Pokémon Site, later proclaimed by Butterfree herself on the [http://www.dragonflycave.com/butterfree/history.aspx Site History] page to have had "eye-hurting background colors" and "horrid browser support". It has been continuously updated ever since, slightly less than seven times a month on average.

The original inspiration to create it was Mew's Hangout, a now-defunct fan site by Mewkitty, but the two are, surprisingly, not similar. Mew's Hangout focused more on art and imagery, while the Cave of Dragonflies focuses more on the written word.

In its history, the site has faced some temporary server difficulties, but has never experienced a long period of downtime. The site possesses over 100 pages of content in all; however, quite a few are not accessible from the main site now as they have been taken down for one reason or another.

Butterfree also has created at least two fanfics: a large, elaborate fanfic known as ''The Quest for the Legends'' and a [[Pokémorph]] [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Deconstruction deconstruction] fanfic called ''Morphic''. The Cave of Speculative Theories, a mini-site connected to the main Cave of Dragonflies that detailed new events in the Pokémon franchise, was launched alongside the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, but was later closed on February 14th 2011.

Bulbapedia:Spading

2015-04-21T19:24:27Z

GoldenCelebi: /* Gen VI deterministic first Egg? */

__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)
:I confirmed that you can get Pokerus from Trainer battles in Gen V (or B2W2 at least) in the same talk page section you linked... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
::Sorry about that. When I saw that, I thought that you were assuming that it was possible based on the words, "it looks like," and due to somehow skipping the first paragraph. That was my mistake. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

==={{a|Multiscale}}===

If a Pokémon with Multiscale is hit by a multi-strike move at full HP, does each hit do reduced damage, or only the first hit? This should be checked for both Generations V and VI, and the results posted on the Multiscale page.

==[[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.
</blockquote>

===Freezing and burning===
In Generation II, can you freeze Ice-type Pokémon and burn Fire-type Pokémon? More notably, can you do this with {{m|Tri Attack}}? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:08, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gens-research-thread.3506992/page-2 see the whole thread, as well as posts #36 and #37;
in generation 2, you can freeze ice types and burn fire types, however you can't do this with ice or fire type moves. Tri Attack does thus allow these things to happen. Note however that poison's handled differently; you can't poison a poison type in any generation, and steel types are immune to every attack that can poison apart from twineedle; due to the way the game handles this, twineedle can be used to poison steel types in generation 2. Also note that the whole of what I've just said applies to generation 1, apart from tri attack lacking any secondary effect, and steel not existing; in generation 1 this means that body slam cannot paralyse normal types! However I don't know about generation 2 whether it can or not, I've left a question in the thread and tagged a user likely to answer to find this out though. 18:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC) ~Piexplode
::Yeah, I'd heard about the Gen I Body Slam discovery, which is actually what caused me to ask this in the first place. In fact, I'd read that very thread, and must have overlooked that post. I know Twineedle poisoning Steel types has been known for a long time though.
::As for Body Slam in Gen II, I'd assumed it could paralyze Normal types due to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/normal-types-cannot-be-paralyzed-by-body-slam.3525371/#post-5945620 this hint in Stadium 2]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 19:20, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

==[[Generation III]]==
===[[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.

===[[Shadow move]]===
:''Status: Answered''
Which stats do Shadow Moves rely on? Attack and Defense or Special Attack and Special Defense? [[User:Chosen|Chosen of Mana]] 17:52, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
*'''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)
:{{m|Shadow Blitz}}, {{m|Shadow Break}}, {{m|Shadow End}}, and {{m|Shadow Rush}} are all Physical and {{m|Shadow Blast}}, {{m|Shadow Bolt}}, [[Shadow Chill (move)|Shadow Chill]], {{m|Shadow Fire}}, {{m|Shadow Rave}}, {{m|Shadow Storm}}, and {{m|Shadow Wave}} are Special.—[[User:Blazevoir|Blazevoir]][[User Talk:Blazevoir|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Blazevoir|Contribs]] 22:41, 13 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.)

==[[Generation IV]]==
===[[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)

'''Comment : This may deserve a page by itself since there is a whole lot of info. BUT ... '''

* Step 1.
** 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)

* Step 3 :
** Case A1 : A random IV is passed on from either parent (4/4)
** Case A2A : The same IV is passed from a parent (1/4)
** Case A2B : Random IV is passed on from a parent (3/4)
** Case B1A : A same IV as Step 1 is passed on from either parent (1/4)
** Case B1B : Random IV is passed on from either parent ( 3/4 )
** Case B2A : The same IV from step 2 is passed on (1/4)
** Case B2B : A Random IV is passed on (3/4)
** Case C1A : The same IV as step one is passed on (1/4)
** Case C1B : A Random IV is passed on From either parent. (3/4)
** Case C2A : The same IV is passed on from either parent (1/4)
** Case C2B : A Random IV is passed on from either parent (3/4)
** Case C3A : The same IV from step 1 is passed on (1/4)
** 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 A2B - 3 stats (1/6 * 4/5 * 3/4) = 12/120
* Case B1A - 1 Stats (1/6 * 1/5 * 1/4) = 1/120
* 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%

So how do you maximize your total Stats?
Do you got two pokemon who can breed with max HP and max DEF?

===[[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.

===Host Questions===
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). However, I have a couple of other questions:
*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.

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?

: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).

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 ===
:''Status: Resolved''
[[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)

=== Gen VI deterministic first Egg? ===
It looks like the first Egg when two Pokemon are left at the Day Care is set, and only the second and later Eggs are actually random. (See [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Gen VI first Egg deterministic?]].) This raises a few questions.
* Is this new to Gen VI?
* Is this at all variable? I.e., maybe there's a random factor, but maybe it only randomizes when a new day starts.
* Is it reliant on a "fresh" pair of Pokemon, or at least one "fresh" Pokemon? I.e., if one (or if both) have bred before, will the first Egg when they are left at the Day Care be random? Or is the logic that, ''any time'' two Pokemon are left at the Day Care, the first Egg will always be set and only the second and later Eggs will actually be random?
[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:02, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
:The data of any particular Egg is completely random, but it is generated ''when the previous Egg is picked up''. So, for example, if you save, receive an Egg and check the IVs/Nature/Ability/etc., then reload from the save, the next Egg you receive will have exactly the same characteristics. It even works if the parents deposited are different the second time around; the offspring will still have the same IVs and Nature, as well as the same Ability slot. (I'm not sure how this interacts with the inheritance of Hidden Abilities.)

===Aura Break===
:''Status: Open''
Aura Break causes Fairy Aura and Dark Aura to decrease the power of Fairy/Dark-type moves instead of increase them. If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker (or a similar Ability) uses a Fairy/Dark-type move, does it negate Aura Break, the Aura Ability, or nothing? So if a Pokémon with Mold Breaker uses Dark Pulse while there is both a Pokémon with Aura Break and a Pokémon with Dark Aura on the field, does the move deal normal damage, 1.33× normal damage, or 0.67× normal damage? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

===Flower Veil===
:''Status: Open''
While I can guess what would happen in this case, I think it's still best to test it (since Magic Guard behaves oddly). If a Pokémon with Mold Breaker/etc. uses Roar/etc. and forces a Grass-type Pokémon to switch in while it has an ally with Flower Veil, will it be poisoned by Toxic Spikes or have its stats lowered by Sticky Web? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

===Parental Bond Meloetta's Relic Song===
:''Status: Open''
If Meloetta has Parental Bond (via Skill Swap, etc.) and uses Relic Song, does it change form after each hit (resulting in two form changes) or only after both hits (resulting in a single form change). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

===Grassy Terrain===
:''Status: Open''
Does Grassy Terrain only halve the power of {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Magnitude}} when they are Ground-type moves? If they have their type changed by {{m|Electrify}} or {{a|Normalize}}, is the damage still halved? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

The '''Battle Chateau''' (Japanese: '''バトルシャトー''' ''Battle Chateau'') is a chateau on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, where the {{Player}} can fight battles daily. The level of Trainers that appear will depend on the noble rank that the player has achieved through their battles in the Chateau.

Trainers can be battled again after an hour starting from the time the player first entered the Chateau.

==Rank progression==
The player starts as a Baron or Baroness (depending on gender). As the player wins against Trainers, their rank rises. The Grand Duke/Grand Duchess rank can only be achieved after beating the [[Elite Four]]. (Edit) Grand Duke/Duchess can be obtained before the player completes all the gyms, and the Elite Four, if the player repeatedly battles the trainers once they have already reached the rank of Duke/Duchess. However, this could be a glitch.

#Baron/Baroness
#Viscount/Viscountess
#Earl/Countess
#Marquis/Marchioness
#Duke/Duchess
#Grand Duke/Grand Duchess

Each rank allows the player to face Trainers of an equal or lesser title. For example, if the player is a Viscount, potential Trainers to battle are Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons and Baronesses. At the higher ranks, the player may be able to face [[Gym Leader]]s, members of the [[Elite Four]], and [[Diantha]].

==Writs==
As players rise in rank, there will be a greater access to more writs which can be issued. Each writ has its own unique effect. All writs expire at midnight on the day that they are used.

==Trivia==

* The music from the Battle Chateau (and the [[Battle Maison]]) is a more majestic, flourishing remix of the [[Battle Subway]]'s theme from {{4v|Black|White}}.
* Baroness Francine's {{p|Flabébé}} has an altered cry; it actually uses {{p|Floette}}'s, its evolution's, cry.

==Growing Berries==
Berries can be planted in any empty patch of soft soil. The soil that the Berry was planted in will start out dry and can be watered by the player, the soil may dry up over time depending on the mulch and Berry used. Weeds and Pokémon may appear around the Berry tree which changes the amount of Berries depending on whether they are dealt with.

===Mulch===
{{main|Mulch}}
Mulch can be made by placing three Berries in the composters. Three Mulches are produced each time, and the type of Mulch produced is based on the colours of the Berries.

===Mutation===
Mutation will sometimes occur when two different types of Berries are placed next to each other. Once a certain mutation has been performed once, the formula for it can be reviewed with the Scientist in the Berry grower's hut. Using Surprise Mulch or Amaze Mulch on the trees involved increases the chance of a mutation.

The '''Kalos Starter Set''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセット''' ''Beginning Set'' and '''はじめてセットｆｏｒガール''' ''Beginning Set for Girls'') is the first release of cards in the XY Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Beginning Set is the first of the XY Era

==Description==
Your Adventure Begins! 
First appearances from long-awaited Pokémon and a brand-new battle strategy! Which Pokémon will you choose to begin this exciting journey: Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie? Pick your Pokémon and get ready to battle!

==Information==
Featuring the three [[Kalos]] region [[starter Pokémon]], the '''Kalos Starter Set''' Decks are a trio of Theme Decks each with a regular version and a deluxe version. Releasing November 8th, 2013, the {{TCG|Chespin Deck}}, {{TCG|Fennekin Deck}}, and {{TCG|Froakie Deck}} will each include damage counters, a custom coin, a rule sheet, a deckbox featuring their respective Pokémon, and a code for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, allowing players to unlock the deck online. The Deluxe versions also contain a booster pack from the {{TCG|Black & White}} Series.

The Japanese release is much like the release of the Black & White {{TCG|Beginning Set}}, two simultaneous deck kits were released marketed at a specific gender. The contents of the two sets are largely similar; both have three half decks based on the [[Generation VI]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}} and {{p|Froakie}}; both also contain the same assortment of game essentials. The major difference is in the design of the products and items themselves, the girls set advertised as "cuter" when compared to the standard Beginning Set. Each set also has a small number of exclusive cards, but both share a collective numbering system and set symbol. The half decks are further identified by featuring colored silhouettes of the appropriate starter Pokémon.

In addition to the half decks, each Beginning Set contains damage counters, a coin, a play mat, as well as how to play DVDs and manuals. Deluxe (DX) versions of each set were later released a week later on November 15, 2013. The DX versions contain the same contents as their regular counterparts in addition to a themed deck case, card sleeves, sticker sheet, notebook, and are presented in a metal case, but no additional cards.

Battle Chateau

GoldenCelebi: tidying up a little

{{incomplete}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Photo Spot Battle Chateau.png
|location_name=Battle Chateau
|japanese_name=バトルシャトー

|type=building

}}

The '''Battle Chateau''' (Japanese: '''バトルシャトー''' ''Battle Chateau'') is a chateau on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, where the {{Player}} can fight battles daily. The level of Trainers that appear will depend on the noble rank that the player has achieved through their battles in the Chateau.

Trainers can be battled again after an hour starting from the time the player first entered the Chateau.

==Rank progression==
The player starts as a Baron or Baroness (depending on gender). As the player wins against Trainers, their rank rises. The Grand Duke/Grand Duchess rank can only be achieved after beating the [[Elite Four]].

#Baron/Baroness
#Viscount/Viscountess
#Earl/Countess
#Marquis/Marchioness
#Duke/Duchess
#Grand Duke/Grand Duchess

Each rank allows the player to face Trainers of an equal or lesser title. For example, if the player is a Viscount, potential Trainers to battle are Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons and Baronesses. At the higher ranks, the player may be able to face [[Gym Leader]]s, members of the [[Elite Four]], and [[Diantha]].

==Writs==
As players rise in rank, there will be a greater access to more writs which can be issued. Each writ has its own unique effect. All writs expire at midnight on the day that they are used.

A Persim Berry, if held by a Pokémon, can cure it of {{status|Confusion|confusion}} instantly, or can be used as an item to cure confusion at any time.

===Berry Blending===
{{BerryBlender|Pink|Brown|Purple}}

===Berry Crushing===
At 100% performance, this Berry will contribute 30 units of powder.

===Poffin Cooking===

==Trivia==
*Despite the relationship of this berry to the {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Bitter Berry}} from [[Generation II]], both being the Berries that cured confusion, the Persim Berry is not actually bitter. In [[Generation IV]], bitterness is actually the only flavor that the Persim Berry does not have.

==Growth and harvest==
===Generation III===
An Oran Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 12 hours, with 3 hours per stage. An Oran tree will yield 2-3 Berries.

===Generation IV===
An Oran Berry will mature from a planted seed to a full-grown, fruit-bearing tree in 16 hours, with 4 hours per stage. An Oran tree will yield 2-5 Berries.

==Uses==
===In-battle===
An Oran Berry, if held by a Pokémon, can restore 10 {{stat|HP}} when its HP drops to below ⅓, or can be used as an item to restore 10 HP at any time.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series===
An Oran Berry restores the user's HP by 100 points, instead of 10 like in the main series. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], there is also [[Lookalike Item#Oren Berry|an item]] that damages the user by 10 HP, but looks the same as the Oran Berry on a dungeon floor.

===Berry Blending===
{{BerryBlender|Blue|Indigo|Indigo}}

===Berry Crushing===

* Rawst Berries are always found on wild {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, despite the fact that Fire-type Pokémon are immune to {{status|Burn|burns}}, and as such have no use for a burn-curing Berry themselves.

== I have a question for you regarding my user page. ==

Now, I want to make my user page better, but I wanna ask.

Is it ok that I list my favorite Pokémon and what I like don't like about Pokémon, or does my user page have to be relevant to this encyclopedia somehow? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 01:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
:That's entirely fine, and pretty much exactly what the userspace is meant for. A list of what isn't allowed, as well as additional rules & restrictions regarding the userspace, can be found at the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks I'll be sure to read the policy. Oh, and I am going to make use of that preview button since I know there is a limit to how much I'm allowed to update my user page a day. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 02:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

== Sprite completion ==

Everything in Stage 2 of the Trainer sprites project has been finished, including the protected pages (with special thanks to Sprite-it for fixing them all). Masatoshi{{tt|*|also with special thanks}} already took care of Stage 3 after all of the sprite links were changed on their respective pages so we don't have to worry about that. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:Both Spriteit and Masatoshi had already come to me in regards to approval for the work they did, so I'm already aware of the completion of Stage 2 and Stage 3. But, thank you anyway for the progress report. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

== Question about Dunsparce page ==

I recently updated the page with its Gold/Silver backsprites in an extra box, and you changed the extras to the Crystal backsprites.
In the history page it says the main box sprites will "take a while to refresh"; does this mean they will correctly show the Gold/Silver backsprites soon? As of now they appear to show the Crystal sprites. Just wondering! [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:18, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:They're meant to show Crystal backsprite, while that big template should show GS (someone uploaded Crystal backsprite on GS's file) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 12:28, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
::I'm not sure if I should revert them back to the proper file or if that's in the works already D: I did upload the G/S files prior to my edit to show the differences between the two and I'm not sure why they're now both the Crystal sprite. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:::Server takes time to update. Due to that, they look correctly at Archives, but not Bulbapedia. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 12:37, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
::::Urrggh yeah, I figured that out after attempting to revise it and seemingly barfing up the revision history x~x Guess I'll just leave it alone then [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::For a bit of an elaboration, Bulbapedia (and Bulbanews) supply files through a cached {{wp|content delivery network}} (CDN).

== Transcripts ==

Why don't we do pokemon transcripts? If you want to add everything about pokemon why not those to. [[User:Dbeckelheimer6|Dbeckelheimer6]] ([[User talk:Dbeckelheimer6|talk]]) 23:17, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
:It's an issue of copyright. Copying the subject of an episode word for word can be considered a rather serious violation of respective copyrights. This is why we do episode synopses, rather than transcripts. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:23, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
::Oh, Ok. [[User:Dbeckelheimer6|Dbeckelheimer6]] ([[User talk:Dbeckelheimer6|talk]]) 23:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

== Dugtrio sprites ==
Ok, someone's been screwing around with the Dugtrio sprites and replacing them with random sprites. Can you revert them? I've never uploaded an image onto a wiki. [[User:TheShinyRoggenrola|TheShinyRoggenrola]] ([[User talk:TheShinyRoggenrola|talk]]) 14:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
They've been fixed now. [[User:TheShinyRoggenrola|TheShinyRoggenrola]] ([[User talk:TheShinyRoggenrola|talk]]) 16:13, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

== I'm confused... ==

What's the difference between when a Pokémon learns a new move, or is revealed to know it? --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 00:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:Learning a move is physically seen in the episode. The main characters will point out that it didn't know the move beforehand. (Cilan's Crustle using Rock Wrecker after evolving is an example) Revealing a move is when the characters are aware that the Pokémon knows the move, they just haven't used it before. (Example being Cilan's Dwebble using Rock Slide for the first time) [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 00:54, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

==Project Pokémon==
Hi. I was wondering if I could start a project : Project Pokemon. a project that where infomation about pokemon TCG online and stratiges to build strong decks. I play at the local hobbie shop and noticed the lack of data on real life decks and good stratiges to make them strong. That is where Project Pokemon comes in, to make articles about cards, decks, and good stratiges. I know pokemon.com is a sorce but the data is limited and only on like 2-3 card combos which is very sad because pokemon is more than that. please get back to me.

Hey, Kogoro. I was wondering if you could take a look at [[Shaymin#In events|the Event page for Shaymin]] if you have a chance to.

:Because of that template being updated the template is broken on tons of other Pokémon pages, not just Shaymin. It was updated as part of a major event Pokémon rework on Bulbapedia. The way to fix the problems on the template is by adding the link perimeter, because the [[Template:gameabbrev3]] breaks the event template without the link perimeter. I can fix the template in a little bit. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 20:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Bulbapedia News ==

Dear Kogoro, I would like to know if I could create a Area in the main page, with helpful info to new trainers, or Rumors on new pokemon, or Fanfiction stories, or anything Pokemon related? {{unsigned|ShadowPikachu126}}

== Koga's and Giovanni's sprites ==

Deat Kogoro,
I am trying to change Giovanni's and Koga's VS sprite to their gen III sprites because they aren't gym leaders in generation IV. If you look up Viridian City and Fuchsia City, you will see Koga's and Giovanni's gen III, not their VS sprites. Also, if you try to edit Viridian City or Fuchsia City, you will see a message by an admin saying that their gen III sprites are used because they weren't gym leaders in gen IV and that admin will ban you for 1 month if you edit it to their gen IV sprite. I am trying to follow his example and change their VS sprites to their gen III sprites. If you could, please let me do so.

Sincerely,
{{unsigned|Agent5514}}
:Commented instructions are only in effect on the page they are placed on, unless they specifically note additional pages that are also subject to the instructions. The Indigo League and Gym Leader pages use the VS sprites for consistency within the table, among other reasons, and were done so after a lengthy discussion. It was also brought up in [[Talk:Gym Leader#Why vs sprites?|July 2012]], and it was made quite clear that users preferred the VS sprites over the FRLG battle sprites for Koga and Giovanni on the Gym Leader page.

:When someone reverts you, especially a member of the {{bp|staff|Bulbapedia staff}}, it is imperative that you do ''not'' restore your changes and that you bring up your concerns on the article's talk page instead. What you have done on the Gym Leader and Indigo League pages is start what is called an {{bp|Blocking policy#Threats and edit/revert wars|edit war}}, which is not permitted on Bulbapedia and can result in blocks ranging from temporary to permanent. If you wish for the sprites to be changed, bring it up on the talk page for the Gym Leader article, and allow due discussion. Do not restore your changes until such discussion has taken place, and been properly finalized.

== Stadium sprites ==

Hello, Kogoro! I'm having a slight problem, and {{u|Spriteit|a user}} recommended I'd ask you. So, here goes: 
A little while back I noticed that Bulbagarden Archives have all the Stadium and Stadium 2 Pokémon sprites, which made me wonder why aren't they at use. So I checked it out, and found out that the {{template|Party}} template cannot show Stadium images in their properly small size. So, the favor I'm asking you is, that could you please edit the aforementioned template so that the Stadium Pokémon sprites can be used in it with a proper size? I hope you understood. Thank you! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC) 
<strike>'''PS.''' BTW, do you know how to upload Stadium images, because several Stadium portraits, including several Trainer portrait from Stadium, and, most importantly to me, Mewtwo's portrait from Stadium 2. So, if you can do this, could you please tackle this job after (possibly) completing the aforementioned request? Once again, thank you.</strike>
:To start, you seem to be a little confused here, so I want to clear this up: {{template|party}} has nothing to do with what Pokémon images can and can't be used, that's specified by the version of the Pokémon box that is used (example: {{template|Pokémon/1}}). With that said, the Stadium models a massive issue preventing their use in parties; they're all inconsistently sized. {{img|Stadium010|Caterpie's}} file is exceptionally tiny, while {{img|Stadium009|Blastoise's}} file is rather large. Blastoise's image is rather square, while {{img|Stadium130|Gyarados's}} file is much taller than it is wide. There may be ways to handle these size issues, but to accomplish that will take quite a bit of planning. Additionally, it will take the creation of a completely new Pokémon box for Stadium & Stadium 2 use. I will look into it, but I make no promises of it working or ever seeing the mainspace. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Uh, hello Kogoro. I use this wiki alot, and I kept coming up on a few typoes as I was doing some searching. I was trying to edit the Gardevoir main page, because I saw a capitalization error. I didn't see any edit buttons. I'm assuming it's because Gardevoir recently got the fairy type. But then I went to add something to Gallade's page, and I didn't see edit buttons there, either. So, uh, yeah, help me out?

== Suggestion: Strategies ==

Hello Kogoro, I come to you with a suggestion, a rather ambitious and large one so sit back, grab your tea and get ready to read because it's going to be a long post.

'''Overview:'''

As a frequent and old Pokémon player I regularly find the need to search for the best way to raise my Pokémon, which Pokémon are the best to catch, and after having them, how can I maximize the potential of each and every Pokémon in my team. As you clearly know, there is no information on Bulbapedia (except for some stats, abilities and natures, but nothing indicative of a potential "best" situation) regarding this matter. Therefore, I wish to make a proposition so we can fulfill this niche of players who look to find the best way to make their team the most powerful one, or just to help guide the average player with his playing experience in order to avoid some frustration as to why his Pokémon aren't performing in up top shape. To serve this purpose I'm going to make two suggestions: the first one would be a simple short version of what a possible best strategy could be; and the second one would be a sort of in-depth guide for the training on each individual Pokémon. Now on to the suggestions!

:'''Disclaimer:''' (should be written and applied in all suggestions)

These builds and strategies are all but mere suggestions to serve as a guide for the average player who may struggle with the use of his Pokémon or simply to allow
them to learn more about how to unlock the true potential of each Pokémon. It is not meant for the player to be forced to take this path. The player should choose, by himself, which is the best way to raise his Pokémon.

:'''''First Suggestion - Recommended Strategy'''''

Objective - Serves as a quick go-to guide for the overall best strategy for a specific Pokémon.

''Example'':

{{Pokémon
|pokemon=Dragonite
|ndex=149
|level=100
|game=HeartGold and SoulSilver
|gender=male
|type1=Dragon|type2=Flying
|held=Leftovers
|ability=Multiscale
|move1=ExtremeSpeed|move1type=Normal|move1cat=Physical
|move2=Outrage|move2type=Dragon|move2cat=Physical
|move3=Dragon Dance|move3type=Dragon|move3cat=Status
|move4=Waterfall|move4type=Water|move4cat=Physical}}

''EVs and Nature:''

EVs: 252 Attack / 4 Speed / 252 Special
Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)

These EVs are completely focused on hard hitting targets, with a maximized Attack and Special Attack stats as it will guarantee a clear sweep which will continue to improve with each successful Dragon Dance.

See [[EV]] and [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] for more information on how to raise your Pokémon stats (alternatively it would be a good idea to make a page dedicated just to how to train your Pokémon's EV and how Natures affect your Pokémon, etc etc etc).

''Strategy:''

The strategy is as simples as follows:

* Keep using Dragon Dance whenever the opponent opens up a window of opportunity;
* Hit them straight in the face with whichever move is the best against that Pokémon, otherwise stick to Outrage;
* Use Extremespeed as a finisher;

Optionally, the use of Earthquake against teams who use Steel, Poison or Fire Pokémon has proven very effective. Roost is also
a good move if the player wishes to make the most out of Multiscale.

:'''''Second Suggestion - In-depth Guide'''''

Objective - Provide a complete in-depth competitive strategy giving the most important information and explanations about which build to choose for the specific Pokémon. As we know the competitive scene always brings out the best in the meta of every game, so to dedicate a page to strategies of the current metagame could greatly serve and help anyone who is looking for the best of the best.

''Example''

::'''Pokémon'''

*Name: Dragonite
*Index: 149
*First Type: Dragon
*Second Type: Flying
*Species: Dragon Pokémon
*Ability: Multiscale or Inner Focus

(tip: a box specific for this idea would be nice, I couldn't find one)

::'''Strategy Name: '''Physical Attacker
*Held Item: Haban Berry / Leftovers
*Abilty: Multiscale
*Nature: Adamant

::'''EV:'''
* 204 HP
* 252 Attack
* 52 Special Attack

::'''Moveset'''
* Dragon Claw
* Extremespeed
* Fire Punch
* Protect

::'''Strategy'''

This is the standard Dragonite set. Dragon Claw is Dragonite's main move, as it gets the STAB boost and is only resisted by Steel-types. Fire Punch provides nice coverage along with Dragon Claw, hitting Abomasnow and Steel-types for super effective damage. However, it should be noted that despite being super effective, Fire Punch won't do over 50% to max HP Metagross. ExtremeSpeed will allow Dragonite to strike first, moving even before all other priority attacks bar Fake Out. Protect is a staple for most Pokemon in VGC, and can also be used in sync with Leftovers to help restore HP each turn.

The 204 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive Life Orb Latios's Draco Meteor, and also gives it maximum Leftovers recovery and good bulk. The 52 Speed EVs let Dragonite outrun minimum speed Rotom-A. The rest of the EVs are put into Attack. An Adamant nature allows Dragonite to deal as much damage as possible, while Leftovers is used to restore some HP each turn, which might allow multiple usage of Multiscale. Haban Berry, however, lets Dragonite survive a Dragon Gem Latios's Draco Meteor, which it cannot do with just Multiscale.

As for teammates, Ground-types such as Krookodile can work well as Dragonite is immune to their Earthquake. Scrafty is a handy partner as it has Fake Out to help Dragonite preserve Mutiscale for a turn. Its STAB attacks are also super effective against Abomasnow and Latios, Dragonite's two main counters. Either Politoed or Ninetales can also be used to get rid of opposing sandstorm and hail if needed, as both of these weathers will break Dragonite's Multiscale. [http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/dragonite/vgc2012 Taken from Smogon University] (I am aware that we shouldn't provide content from other websites without asking their permission but I don't have the enough experience to write a full on strategy by myself, I merely wanted to use this as an example, I understand if you have to remove this and if I would have to be scolded for putting this here)

'''Important side note:''' all of this information should be backed with a link to a page explaining how to evolve your Pokémon to raise their EVs this way, why and what natures affect what stats, what Pokémon to fight against if you want to have the best stats raised, how to catch Pokérus to further your stat evolution, the use of Vitamins in EVs, training with Macho Brace and the remaining factors that can boost the stats of the Pokémon.

''Secondary side note:'' As you can see the difference between this guide and the first guide is that the first guide should provide a more comprehensive and simple way for anyone to build their Pokémon in a specific powerful way, while the second one should be an all-out strategy taking the most important factors into consideration on the current metagame.

'''Pros and Cons of these suggestions:'''

Pros - the first suggestion is quick, succinct, easy to read and understandable, every build shouldn't be bigger than that, and the idea is that anyone can easily shortcut it's ways through the menu and quickly understand one of the best builds for Dragonite (in its page). The second suggestion should have a page completely dedicated to it and should serve as a complete in-depth guide of how to build a specific Pokémon. If we display several strategies while backing up that information with each and every VGC (and other important tournaments), this solves the subjective con since we could 100% base ourselves on real strategies used in real life tournaments and place them there for anyone to learn.

Cons - subjectiveness, my idea of "best build" can differ from the next guy, so this can be a problem in the sense that will probably generate a lot of discussion and to ascertain a common "best build" amongst the community could be very hard. This would require a change in each and every Pokémon page to grant a strategy to each one of it, or would require the creation of 600+ pages for in-depth guides in each Pokémon page. Either one of those are obviously time consuming. Another added con is that all of this information is very volatile as it can change from generation to generation with stats/abilities/move updates and new moves coming in to the game, requiring constant maintenance with each generation.

Presented Solutions - create a best strategy contest! This contest should be held weekly with different Pokémons each week, allowing for the community to pitch in their very own version of what the best strategy is while in the meantime allowing anyone who visits Bulbapedia to vote on what the best strategy is. At the end of the week the contest closes and the best strategy is posted on the Pokémon page crediting the user who entered the strategy. This could entice the community in to sharing ideas between them and would definitely bring more people in so they could place their own strategies for everyone to see. This solution could be made on the Bulbapedia page, or have a part of the forum dedicated to it. It could also be applied to any of the two suggestions I made.

'''Conclusion'''

I understand that overall this is a very, very hard and ambitious project for the whole Bulbapedia, with new games coming up every year, with new Anime and new Manga out every month, there is a lot of information that needs to be reviewed and constantly updated. Even after all these years the to-do list for Bulbapedia is huge and there's always some things that were left out that could have been done in a better fashion, hence my fear that making this could be a bite bigger than Bulbapedia can chew, and so I am ready to accept the fact that this suggestion will, most possibly, be discarded and forgotten as certainly there are other things waiting to be done and reserved for the future of Bulbapedia. To finish this massive wall of text, I just want to thank you for your patience and attention given in reading all this, I am very sorry that it had to came out this long, and I wish to point out that all I ever wanted was to provide a new perspective, a competitive perspective even, a new way for Bulbapedia to improve and become a better place for everyone. However, I didn't want to do it without having my opinions properly backed up. ----[[User:EtherealAether|EtherealAether]] ''([[User talk:EtherealAether|talk]])'' 16:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
:While this is certainly a niche that we don't cover in extreme detail, we have very important reasons why we can't cover it in such a way. Per our {{bp|manual of style}}, information in articles should be factual and neutral. Strategy suggestions/advice is completely opposite to that. Bulbapedia is not a game guide, nor does it strive to be one, Bulbapedia is a Pokémon encyclopedia. We do not strive to recommend or tell players how they should play and enjoy the games, we strive to offer factual information that allows them to create their own strategies and experiences. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 22:30, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I recently updated the page with its Gold/Silver backsprites in an extra box, and you changed the extras to the Crystal backsprites.

Dear Kogoro, I would like to know if I could create a Area in the main page, with helpful info to new trainers, or Rumors on new pokemon, or Fanfiction stories, or anything Pokemon related? {{unsigned|ShadowPikachu126}}

== Koga's and Giovanni's sprites ==

Deat Kogoro,
I am trying to change Giovanni's and Koga's VS sprite to their gen III sprites because they aren't gym leaders in generation IV. If you look up Viridian City and Fuchsia City, you will see Koga's and Giovanni's gen III, not their VS sprites. Also, if you try to edit Viridian City or Fuchsia City, you will see a message by an admin saying that their gen III sprites are used because they weren't gym leaders in gen IV and that admin will ban you for 1 month if you edit it to their gen IV sprite. I am trying to follow his example and change their VS sprites to their gen III sprites. If you could, please let me do so.

Sincerely,
{{unsigned|Agent5514}}
:Commented instructions are only in effect on the page they are placed on, unless they specifically note additional pages that are also subject to the instructions. The Indigo League and Gym Leader pages use the VS sprites for consistency within the table, among other reasons, and were done so after a lengthy discussion. It was also brought up in [[Talk:Gym Leader#Why vs sprites?|July 2012]], and it was made quite clear that users preferred the VS sprites over the FRLG battle sprites for Koga and Giovanni on the Gym Leader page.

:When someone reverts you, especially a member of the {{bp|staff|Bulbapedia staff}}, it is imperative that you do ''not'' restore your changes and that you bring up your concerns on the article's talk page instead. What you have done on the Gym Leader and Indigo League pages is start what is called an {{bp|Blocking policy#Threats and edit/revert wars|edit war}}, which is not permitted on Bulbapedia and can result in blocks ranging from temporary to permanent. If you wish for the sprites to be changed, bring it up on the talk page for the Gym Leader article, and allow due discussion. Do not restore your changes until such discussion has taken place, and been properly finalized.

== Stadium sprites ==

Hello, Kogoro! I'm having a slight problem, and {{u|Spriteit|a user}} recommended I'd ask you. So, here goes: 
A little while back I noticed that Bulbagarden Archives have all the Stadium and Stadium 2 Pokémon sprites, which made me wonder why aren't they at use. So I checked it out, and found out that the {{template|Party}} template cannot show Stadium images in their properly small size. So, the favor I'm asking you is, that could you please edit the aforementioned template so that the Stadium Pokémon sprites can be used in it with a proper size? I hope you understood. Thank you! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC) 
<strike>'''PS.''' BTW, do you know how to upload Stadium images, because several Stadium portraits, including several Trainer portrait from Stadium, and, most importantly to me, Mewtwo's portrait from Stadium 2. So, if you can do this, could you please tackle this job after (possibly) completing the aforementioned request? Once again, thank you.</strike>
:To start, you seem to be a little confused here, so I want to clear this up: {{template|party}} has nothing to do with what Pokémon images can and can't be used, that's specified by the version of the Pokémon box that is used (example: {{template|Pokémon/1}}). With that said, the Stadium models a massive issue preventing their use in parties; they're all inconsistently sized. {{img|Stadium010|Caterpie's}} file is exceptionally tiny, while {{img|Stadium009|Blastoise's}} file is rather large. Blastoise's image is rather square, while {{img|Stadium130|Gyarados's}} file is much taller than it is wide. There may be ways to handle these size issues, but to accomplish that will take quite a bit of planning. Additionally, it will take the creation of a completely new Pokémon box for Stadium & Stadium 2 use. I will look into it, but I make no promises of it working or ever seeing the mainspace. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I didn't see any edit buttons. I'm assuming it's because Gardevoir recently got the fairy type. But then I went to add something to Gallade's page, and I didn't see edit buttons there, either. So, uh, yeah, help me out? (Also, in case I can't edit it, the typo was a capital 'T' in torso on Gardevoir's page, and the Gallade thing was just some trivia) [[User:Snorzy|Snorzy]] ([[User talk:Snorzy|talk]]) 03:29, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

:The region colors, specifically Sinnoh's color, was causing problems with some templates due to the extreme similarities it had to the colors for Black and Black 2. Additionally, the colors for the regions had no official basis and were somewhat randomly decided (mostly by an individual who did not have the authority to make such decisions). The official guidebook for Black 2 and White 2 contains information regarding the PWT, uses the these very colors for the regional Gym Leader tournaments.

== Suggestion: Strategies ==

Hello Kogoro, I come to you with a suggestion, a rather ambitious and large one so sit back, grab your tea and get ready to read because it's going to be a long post.

'''Overview:'''

As a frequent and old Pokémon player I regularly find the need to search for the best way to raise my Pokémon, which Pokémon are the best to catch, and after having them, how can I maximize the potential of each and every Pokémon in my team. As you clearly know, there is no information on Bulbapedia (except for some stats, abilities and natures, but nothing indicative of a potential "best" situation) regarding this matter. Therefore, I wish to make a proposition so we can fulfill this niche of players who look to find the best way to make their team the most powerful one, or just to help guide the average player with his playing experience in order to avoid some frustration as to why his Pokémon aren't performing in up top shape. To serve this purpose I'm going to make two suggestions: the first one would be a simple short version of what a possible best strategy could be; and the second one would be a sort of in-depth guide for the training on each individual Pokémon. Now on to the suggestions!

:'''Disclaimer:''' (should be written and applied in all suggestions)

These builds and strategies are all but mere suggestions to serve as a guide for the average player who may struggle with the use of his Pokémon or simply to allow
them to learn more about how to unlock the true potential of each Pokémon. It is not meant for the player to be forced to take this path. The player should choose, by himself, which is the best way to raise his Pokémon.

:'''''First Suggestion - Recommended Strategy'''''

Objective - Serves as a quick go-to guide for the overall best strategy for a specific Pokémon.

''Example'':

{{Pokémon
|pokemon=Dragonite
|ndex=149
|level=100
|game=HeartGold and SoulSilver
|gender=male
|type1=Dragon|type2=Flying
|held=Leftovers
|ability=Multiscale
|move1=ExtremeSpeed|move1type=Normal|move1cat=Physical
|move2=Outrage|move2type=Dragon|move2cat=Physical
|move3=Dragon Dance|move3type=Dragon|move3cat=Status
|move4=Waterfall|move4type=Water|move4cat=Physical}}

''EVs and Nature:''

EVs: 252 Attack / 4 Speed / 252 Special
Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)

These EVs are completely focused on hard hitting targets, with a maximized Attack and Special Attack stats as it will guarantee a clear sweep which will continue to improve with each successful Dragon Dance.

See [[EV]] and [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] for more information on how to raise your Pokémon stats (alternatively it would be a good idea to make a page dedicated just to how to train your Pokémon's EV and how Natures affect your Pokémon, etc etc etc).

''Strategy:''

The strategy is as simples as follows:

* Keep using Dragon Dance whenever the opponent opens up a window of opportunity;
* Hit them straight in the face with whichever move is the best against that Pokémon, otherwise stick to Outrage;
* Use Extremespeed as a finisher;

Optionally, the use of Earthquake against teams who use Steel, Poison or Fire Pokémon has proven very effective. Roost is also
a good move if the player wishes to make the most out of Multiscale.

:'''''Second Suggestion - In-depth Guide'''''

Objective - Provide a complete in-depth competitive strategy giving the most important information and explanations about which build to choose for the specific Pokémon. As we know the competitive scene always brings out the best in the meta of every game, so to dedicate a page to strategies of the current metagame could greatly serve and help anyone who is looking for the best of the best.

''Example''

::'''Pokémon'''

*Name: Dragonite
*Index: 149
*First Type: Dragon
*Second Type: Flying
*Species: Dragon Pokémon
*Ability: Multiscale or Inner Focus

(tip: a box specific for this idea would be nice, I couldn't find one)

::'''Strategy Name: '''Physical Attacker
*Held Item: Haban Berry / Leftovers
*Abilty: Multiscale
*Nature: Adamant

::'''EV:'''
* 204 HP
* 252 Attack
* 52 Special Attack

::'''Moveset'''
* Dragon Claw
* Extremespeed
* Fire Punch
* Protect

::'''Strategy'''

This is the standard Dragonite set. Dragon Claw is Dragonite's main move, as it gets the STAB boost and is only resisted by Steel-types. Fire Punch provides nice coverage along with Dragon Claw, hitting Abomasnow and Steel-types for super effective damage. However, it should be noted that despite being super effective, Fire Punch won't do over 50% to max HP Metagross. ExtremeSpeed will allow Dragonite to strike first, moving even before all other priority attacks bar Fake Out. Protect is a staple for most Pokemon in VGC, and can also be used in sync with Leftovers to help restore HP each turn.

The 204 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive Life Orb Latios's Draco Meteor, and also gives it maximum Leftovers recovery and good bulk. The 52 Speed EVs let Dragonite outrun minimum speed Rotom-A. The rest of the EVs are put into Attack. An Adamant nature allows Dragonite to deal as much damage as possible, while Leftovers is used to restore some HP each turn, which might allow multiple usage of Multiscale. Haban Berry, however, lets Dragonite survive a Dragon Gem Latios's Draco Meteor, which it cannot do with just Multiscale.

As for teammates, Ground-types such as Krookodile can work well as Dragonite is immune to their Earthquake. Scrafty is a handy partner as it has Fake Out to help Dragonite preserve Mutiscale for a turn. Its STAB attacks are also super effective against Abomasnow and Latios, Dragonite's two main counters. Either Politoed or Ninetales can also be used to get rid of opposing sandstorm and hail if needed, as both of these weathers will break Dragonite's Multiscale. [http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/dragonite/vgc2012 Taken from Smogon University] (I am aware that we shouldn't provide content from other websites without asking their permission but I don't have the enough experience to write a full on strategy by myself, I merely wanted to use this as an example, I understand if you have to remove this and if I would have to be scolded for putting this here)

'''Important side note:''' all of this information should be backed with a link to a page explaining how to evolve your Pokémon to raise their EVs this way, why and what natures affect what stats, what Pokémon to fight against if you want to have the best stats raised, how to catch Pokérus to further your stat evolution, the use of Vitamins in EVs, training with Macho Brace and the remaining factors that can boost the stats of the Pokémon.

''Secondary side note:'' As you can see the difference between this guide and the first guide is that the first guide should provide a more comprehensive and simple way for anyone to build their Pokémon in a specific powerful way, while the second one should be an all-out strategy taking the most important factors into consideration on the current metagame.

'''Pros and Cons of these suggestions:'''

Pros - the first suggestion is quick, succinct, easy to read and understandable, every build shouldn't be bigger than that, and the idea is that anyone can easily shortcut it's ways through the menu and quickly understand one of the best builds for Dragonite (in its page). The second suggestion should have a page completely dedicated to it and should serve as a complete in-depth guide of how to build a specific Pokémon. If we display several strategies while backing up that information with each and every VGC (and other important tournaments), this solves the subjective con since we could 100% base ourselves on real strategies used in real life tournaments and place them there for anyone to learn.

Cons - subjectiveness, my idea of "best build" can differ from the next guy, so this can be a problem in the sense that will probably generate a lot of discussion and to ascertain a common "best build" amongst the community could be very hard. This would require a change in each and every Pokémon page to grant a strategy to each one of it, or would require the creation of 600+ pages for in-depth guides in each Pokémon page. Either one of those are obviously time consuming. Another added con is that all of this information is very volatile as it can change from generation to generation with stats/abilities/move updates and new moves coming in to the game, requiring constant maintenance with each generation.

Presented Solutions - create a best strategy contest! This contest should be held weekly with different Pokémons each week, allowing for the community to pitch in their very own version of what the best strategy is while in the meantime allowing anyone who visits Bulbapedia to vote on what the best strategy is. At the end of the week the contest closes and the best strategy is posted on the Pokémon page crediting the user who entered the strategy. This could entice the community in to sharing ideas between them and would definitely bring more people in so they could place their own strategies for everyone to see. This solution could be made on the Bulbapedia page, or have a part of the forum dedicated to it. It could also be applied to any of the two suggestions I made.

'''Conclusion'''

I understand that overall this is a very, very hard and ambitious project for the whole Bulbapedia, with new games coming up every year, with new Anime and new Manga out every month, there is a lot of information that needs to be reviewed and constantly updated. Even after all these years the to-do list for Bulbapedia is huge and there's always some things that were left out that could have been done in a better fashion, hence my fear that making this could be a bite bigger than Bulbapedia can chew, and so I am ready to accept the fact that this suggestion will, most possibly, be discarded and forgotten as certainly there are other things waiting to be done and reserved for the future of Bulbapedia. To finish this massive wall of text, I just want to thank you for your patience and attention given in reading all this, I am very sorry that it had to came out this long, and I wish to point out that all I ever wanted was to provide a new perspective, a competitive perspective even, a new way for Bulbapedia to improve and become a better place for everyone. However, I didn't want to do it without having my opinions properly backed up. ----[[User:EtherealAether|EtherealAether]] ''([[User talk:EtherealAether|talk]])'' 16:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
:While this is certainly a niche that we don't cover in extreme detail, we have very important reasons why we can't cover it in such a way. Per our {{bp|manual of style}}, information in articles should be factual and neutral. Strategy suggestions/advice is completely opposite to that. Bulbapedia is not a game guide, nor does it strive to be one, Bulbapedia is a Pokémon encyclopedia. We do not strive to recommend or tell players how they should play and enjoy the games, we strive to offer factual information that allows them to create their own strategies and experiences. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 22:30, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

::I know that the X and Y games are out, but could you unprotect the uploading and editing on Archives? I really want to start uploading some images whenever it would be possible. Pikachu65 13:34, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
:::Editing and uploading to the Bulbagarden Archives will remain restricted for the time being. We are currently working on the extremely important plans required before the Archives will be opened. Please be patient during this time, and any upload or edit requests can be sent to any member of the Archives staff via their respective Bulbapedia talk pages.
:::Additionally, I highly suggest that '''all users''' take the time to check a staff members online status {{bp|staff|here}} before contacting them. I was on an unexpected, but publicly announced hiatus until just now. I was not ignoring anyone, I wasn't available to respond. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 09:08, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
::::I know. But I have a request about uploading the picuters and editing them, so I must to talk to the Archives staff via their respective Bulbapedia talk pages, right? Pikachu65 10:38, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:::::If you have a request regarding uploading a file, or making an edit, you can send the request to a '''single''' member of the Archives staff about it.

:Moveset list templates? I assume you mean the ones I made in the <code>Template:</code> namespace?

Mulch

2013-10-28T19:31:20Z

GoldenCelebi: /* List of mulches */ Adding XY mulches

'''Mulch''' (Japanese: '''こやし''' ''Fertilizer'') is a type of item introduced in [[Generation IV]]. There are four kinds of Mulch, each with a different effect.

Mulch is essentially a fertilizer, which may be used before planting {{Berries}} in [[soft soil]]. They promote healthy Berry growth and have no use in {{pkmn|battle}} aside from being thrown with {{m|Fling}}, in which case the move will have 30 [[Power]].

If more than one Mulch is spread on one patch of soil, only the effect of the most recently used one will apply. According to the lady in the [[Berry Master]]'s house in Sinnoh, Mulch is made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...{{wp|Manure|you know}}..."

Mulch can be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, or in the {{DL|Goldenrod City|Goldenrod Flower Shop}} after acquiring the {{key|IV|Berry Pots}}.

Due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in the [[Unova]] region and the fact that the Berry Pots are not obtainable, Mulch became a valuable item in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Mulch can be sold to a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} at the end of [[Mistralton City]]'s runway for {{pdollar}}1000 each.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Mulch can be acquired from one of the [[Berry Fields]] composters. By putting in different combinations of Berries, different kinds of Mulch can be produced.

==Trivia==
* Because some Mulch can alter a Berry's growth rate, it is possible for some Berries with different base growth times to grow in the same amount of time. Similarly, Berries with the same base growth time can vary in actual growth time.
* Inside the Berry Master's house there is a book titled "Much Ado About Mulch: A Berry-Grower's Guide". The title of this book is a pun on {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s "{{wp|Much Ado About Nothing}}".

The game treats the area as part of {{rt|7|Kalos}} for everything except the background music, so the information about location and items could be merged into there.

Repel

2013-10-28T18:10:25Z

GoldenCelebi: /* Types of Repel */ XY Poké Mart listings

A '''Repel''' (Japanese: '''スプレー''' ''Spray'') is an item which lets the {{player}} walk a certain number of steps without encountering [[wild Pokémon]] with a lower [[level]] than the first member in the {{player}}'s [[party]]. It is manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], and is sold in most [[Poké Mart]]s. Its design is that of an {{wp|aerosol can|aerosol spray}} and is similar to {{wp|insect repellent}}. It is available in three strengths.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a dialog pops up after a Repel runs out, asking if the player wants to use another one.

If traded into {{g|Colosseum}} or {{XD}}, although [[wild Pokémon]] do not appear except in [[Poké Spot]]s, Repels still have the "use" option. If the player attempts to use one, the message "This item cannot be used in the Orre Region" will be displayed instead.

Repels can be used to only encounter certain wild Pokémon using a method known as the {{appendix|Repel trick}}.

==Trivia==
* The Super Repel is more cost-effective than the Max Repel (the Super Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.5 while the Max Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.8). However, when buying Max Repels in bulk from a Join Avenue market, they can be cheaper than the same amount of Super Repels at a Poké Mart.

Escape Rope

2013-10-28T18:08:41Z

GoldenCelebi: XY Poké Mart listings

The '''Escape Rope''' (Japanese: '''あなぬけのヒモ''' ''Hole-Escape Rope'') is an item available in all of the handheld Pokémon games to date. They originally cost {{PDollar}}550 each at [[Poké Mart]]s. It can also be found lying around on the ground within the game, or held by Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Pickup}}.

Escape Ropes are used, in places such as caves, to warp back to the last Pokémon Center player healed at (or home if player never healed in Pokémon Center) in Generation I, and the entrance from which the player entered since Generation II. This effect alleviates the necessity to have a Pokémon with {{m|Dig}} in the party, when a player wants to exit a cave or similar location quickly.

To date, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} are the only games that have no use for the Escape Rope; because of this, trading is required to obtain the Escape Rope in these games. Due to the different map system used in those games, the Escape Rope's only use in those games is to either sell it for money or trade it back to a handheld game.

The Escape Rope cannot be used to escape from the [[Spear Pillar]], the [[Distortion World]], or the [[Hall of Origin]], as they are all considered to be outside of Mt. Coronet by the games' programming. It also cannot be used in [[Turnback Cave]].

The Escape Rope is required for an Unown puzzle in {{v2|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Using it opens up a room containing four healing items.

==Trivia==
* Old Gateau's name in both English and Japanese is a pun based on the location it is found. In English, the French word ''gateau'' ("cake") plays on ''Chateau''. In Japanese, the Chateau's name is "Forest Manor" (Japanese: もりのようかん) while the Gateau's name is "Forest {{wp|Yōkan}}" (Japanese: もりのヨウカン); the two terms are homophones and are pronounced as ''mori no yōkan''.
* According to the [[DP105|anime]], the Old Gateau is also known as the ''Mirage Gateau''.
* In early appearances, the Antidote and Full Heal were depicted as a vaccine inside of a syringe-type device; this was later changed to being a "spray-type medicine" in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* All "local specialty" items introduced since [[Generation III]] — the Lava Cookie, Old Gateau, and Casteliacone — are variants of the [[#Full Heal|Full Heal]]. The [[RageCandyBar]], introduced in [[Generation II]], is a variant of the {{DL|Potion|Potion}} instead.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Blue}} is healed with a Paralyze Heal, the first time a status ailment healing item besides local specialties is used on a human.
* In the games, "Old Gateau" is pluralized in two different grammatically correct ways. When buying the Souvenir Set in [[Join Avenue]], the description says ''"A set of two Old Gateau'''s'''. The cake heals all the status problems of one Pokémon."'' However, when purchased, or received from fans at [[Pokéstar Studios]], the game says ''"You put away the Old Gateau'''x''' in the MEDICINE case."''

Revive

GoldenCelebi: /* Types of Revive */ XY Poké Mart listings

A '''Revive''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or out of {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a Pokémon which has fainted. They can be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an [[Itemfinder]] to locate. Standard Revives can be bought at some [[Poké Mart]]s. In [[Generation IV]], Revives and Max Revives can be found while digging in [[the Underground]].

A standard Revive is an {{wp|octahedron}}. A Max Revive is normally portrayed as a 24-faced {{wp|polyhedron}}, but in the [[Sinnoh Underground]] it appears as a 32-faced polyhedron.

Potion

2013-10-28T17:59:36Z

GoldenCelebi: /* List of Potions */ XY Poké Mart listings

A '''Potion''' (Japanese: '''キズぐすり''' ''Wound medicine'') is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or outside of a {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{stat|HP}}. They can often be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an [[Itemfinder]] to locate, and can be bought at most [[Poké Mart]]s. They are also available in [[Wonder Launcher]] battles. Although the traditional RPG depiction of Potion is as a drink, in Pokémon, Potions appear to be topical, stored in spray bottles and applied to the skin.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cilan Super Potion.png|thumb|200px|{{an|Cilan}} using a Super Potion on his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}]]
Potions have been used on occasion in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Usually, [[Brock]] and {{an|Cilan}} carry them in their respective [[bag|backpacks]], and they use them to heal injured Pokémon. Potions seem to sting slightly whenever used, suggesting that they not only heal but sterilize the wound. {{Tracey}} has also been seen with some Potions that need to be taken orally.

[[Alder]] used a Super Potion to treat a wild {{p|Gigalith}}'s wounds in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''.

{{an|Professor Oak}} used a Super Potion on a {{p|Rotom}} in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. This made Rotom so thankful, that it volunterily allowed itself to be caught by him.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} threw a Potion at {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} in order to recover some health but {{p|Weavile}} prevented him from using it due to the move, {{m|Embargo}}.

==Trivia==
* The only Potion that is not depicted as being stored in a spray-type bottle is the [[SecretPotion]], which appears to be in {{wp|kampo}} teapill form.
* In the first and second generations, Max Potion and Full Restore were programmed to only heal 999 HP, rather than restoring the HP to maximum. This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 703 with a level 100 {{p|Chansey}} (in Generation I), or 713 with a level 100 {{p|Blissey}} (in Generation II), both of which having an [[individual values|individual HP value]] of 15, and an HP [[effort values|effort value]] of 65,535 or higher. In later generations, this becomes 714 with an [[individual value]] of 31 and an [[effort value]] of 252 or higher.
** Likewise, in early releases of Platinum, the Max Potion was mistakenly programmed to only heal 1,000 HP of damage (though a Pokémon with higher than 999 HP is not legitimately possible). This was fixed in later versions, which heal HP to 100%.
* Of the Potions that heal a specific amount of HP (Potion, Super Potion and Hyper Potion), Hyper Potion is the best value, as it is 1 HP per {{PDollar}}6, while Potion was the worst with only giving 1 HP per {{PDollar}}15, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}14.

Poké Ball

[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood; however, due to Poké Balls being in the sunken ship in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it seems that in the {{pkmn|anime}} Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored easily. This also shows that in these times they were believed to be supernatural or paranormal creatures, not natural ones.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Dark Device]] and the [[Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, [[Audrey]] could not release her {{p|Masquerain}} from the Poké Ball, claiming that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Except for the [[Master Ball]], all Poké Balls have a chance of breaking and not capturing the Pokémon in question, however, in several cases, it is possible for the Poké Ball to miss the wild Pokémon completely.

* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghosts}} in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]], unless one of the two wild Pokémon is defeated, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!". A player can however snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field; presumably the [[Snag Machine]] assists in aiming.
* Unlike preceding games, from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}}.
* Pokémon Black and White introduces wild Double Battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a two part move like Dig or Dive, a Poké Ball can still be thrown and Dig or Dive will continue if the ball fails.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in Generation II. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag when battling a Pokémon. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|right|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the anime, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.

The [[Master Ball#In the anime|Master Ball]] itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]] would make its actual first appearance, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the player's hand to search the player's deck for a Pokémon. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have you instead search the top 7 cards of your deck for any 1 Pokémon card & put it in your hand.
* The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in. The upcoming fourth game appears to continue with the half-filled version.

Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this; the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families, as they are found in the wild in all five generations, and can be obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; the only Ball they cannot be legitimately contained in is the Cherish Ball, as they have not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV or V.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The Generation IV Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Mewtwo Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Mewtwo Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Premier Ball is the only variety of Poké Ball so far whose name approaches the character limit for item names.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.
* The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[Field move (main series)|field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
* {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.

[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood; however, due to Poké Balls being in the sunken ship in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it seems that in the {{pkmn|anime}} Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored easily. This also shows that in these times they were believed to be supernatural or paranormal creatures, not natural ones.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Dark Device]] and the [[Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, [[Audrey]] could not release her {{p|Masquerain}} from the Poké Ball, claiming that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Except for the [[Master Ball]], all Poké Balls have a chance of breaking and not capturing the Pokémon in question, however, in several cases, it is possible for the Poké Ball to miss the wild Pokémon completely.

* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghosts}} in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]], unless one of the two wild Pokémon is defeated, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!". A player can however snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field; presumably the [[Snag Machine]] assists in aiming.
* Unlike preceding games, from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}}.
* Pokémon Black and White introduces wild Double Battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a two part move like Dig or Dive, a Poké Ball can still be thrown and Dig or Dive will continue if the ball fails.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in Generation II. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag when battling a Pokémon. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|right|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the anime, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.

The [[Master Ball#In the anime|Master Ball]] itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]] would make its actual first appearance, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the player's hand to search the player's deck for a Pokémon. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have you instead search the top 7 cards of your deck for any 1 Pokémon card & put it in your hand.
* The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in. The upcoming fourth game appears to continue with the half-filled version.

[[File:SSBB Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this; the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with.

=====Generation V=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=All images}}
Generation II Poké Balls, while programmed into the game, cannot be used to catch Pokémon and can be seen only when sending out a Pokémon. Sprites seen below are at full size as they are seen as they are when player's Pokémon is sent out after a switch.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families, as they are found in the wild in all five generations, and can be obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; the only Ball they cannot be legitimately contained in is the Cherish Ball, as they have not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV or V.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The Generation IV Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Mewtwo Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Mewtwo Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Premier Ball is the only variety of Poké Ball so far whose name approaches the character limit for item names.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.
* The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[Field move (main series)|field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
* {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.

==In the anime==
Santalune City is mentioned by [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', saying that [[Viola|her sister]]'s gym is located there and not in [[Lumiose City]]. Santalune City will make a proper debut appearance in [[XY005]], where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive there to challenge the gym.

==Trivia==
* Santalune's Japanese motto is {{tt|古式ゆかしい　街|A traditional city}}.

==Origin==
Santalune City Is based on the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}

==Name origin==

Santalune comes from {{wp|Santalum}}. This was likely chosen for two reasons;
the species name is ''Santalum album'', referencing [[Viola]]'s passion for photography for obvious reasons, and "Santalum" is the food of some moths and butterflies, referencing the [[Bug-type]] and [[Vivillon]].

Poké Mart

2013-10-28T17:50:03Z

GoldenCelebi: XY stuff

[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Mart Sketch.jpg|256px|right|200px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept of a Poké Mart]]
A '''Pokémon Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop''), commonly referred to as the '''Poké Mart''', is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. A Poké Mart's stock varies with its location, such as {{ball|Net}}s being available in [[Blackthorn City]] and {{ball|Quick}}s being available in [[Lavender Town]]; however, as of Generation IV, only one clerk's varies from town-to-town, while the other remains consistent. Some sell more items than others. Poké Marts also buy many different items in exchange for [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. Much of the merchandise sold at such stores is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]].

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game does not have a Poké Mart. Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous in the {{Pkmn|anime}} as they are in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is activated, a deliveryman may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the {{player}}. The deliveryman only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, another deliveryman will give the player a range of items, including [[Potion]]s and [[Berry|Berries]], when the player's savings with their [[Mom|mother]] have reached certain points.

In [[Generation IV]], there are two vendors in each Poké Mart. One will sell standard items, and the other will sell regional specialties. Unlike in previous games, rather than the items and their quantity varying by location, the merchandise's availability will increase with each [[Badge]] obtained. For example, if all Badges are under a player's possession, the same items will be found at each Poké Mart around [[Sinnoh]], [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. In [[Generation V]], the Poké Mart is no longer a separate store, but inside the [[Pokémon Center]] to the right of the entrance. In [[Generation VI]], this remains, but the Mart is now at the back right of the Pokémon Center.

==Generation I==

The player will come across their first Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]], as they travel across the town. If the player enters the Poké Mart in [[Viridian City]] for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{key|I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. The {{ka|old man}} to the north of the city will not move until the package is delivered to Professor Oak, and [[Poké Ball]]s cannot be bought in Viridian City until the player has returned from this errand.

On {{rt|1|Kanto}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|right|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

==Generation III==
[[File:Poké Mart interior RSE.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior FRLG.png|thumb|right|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with {{key|III|Oak's Parcel}} required for delivery before the Poké Mart in Viridian City will have Poké Balls available.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poké Mart interior Pt.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior HGSS.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. The Poké Mart expands its supplies as the player wins [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation; the one on the right sells items that can be found in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]]. Unlike in other regions, Poké Balls are available immediately in Sandgem Town.

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or [[event Pokémon|Pokémon]] from a Nintendo event, a deliveryman wearing a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, if the player opted to have their [[mom|mother]] save some money, an item will occasionally be delivered by a deliveryman in red.

==Generation VI==
{{incomplete|section|locations and a picture}}
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the Poké Mart remains part of the [[Pokémon Center]]. Each Poké Mart contains one or two salesmen. If the player receives a [[Mystery Gift]], a girl in a pink and black uniform will be in the Pokémon Center to give the gift to the player.

===Department Stores===
[[File:Celadon Department Store.png|thumb|right|Celadon Department Store]]
A Department Store is the largest shop in a region, selling a variety of different items, including items that are not sold in a regular Poké Mart, such as [[TM]]s. Every region has a Department Store in it, usually in the region's largest city. Department Stores have several levels, usually selling a different type of item on each level.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City#Cianwood City Pharmacy|Cianwood City}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town shop===
{{main|Mahogany Town#Shop and hideout|Mahogany Town}}
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Mt. Moon Square shop===
{{main|Mt. Moon Square#Shop|Mt. Moon Square}}
There is a shop in [[Mt. Moon Square]] that is only open from 10:00AM until 5:59PM.

===Two Island Market stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island (town)}}
{{OBP|Two Island|town}}, rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s (here spelled Rage Candybar), though they are never in stock in-game.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town#Shop|Celestic Town}}
In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple run a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away [[In-battle effect item#Choice Specs|Choice Specs]] in the morning, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}} during the day, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} at night.

===Safari Zone Gate stalls===
{{main|Safari Zone Gate#Shops|Safari Zone Gate}}
There are two stalls at the [[Safari Zone Gate]], one selling [[Poké Ball]]s, the other [[vitamin]]s.

===Eterna City Herb Shop===
{{main|Eterna City#Herb Shop|Eterna City}}
In the far east near the Pokémon statue in [[Eterna City]], there is a lady who sells {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|EnergyPowder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}}s, and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s.

==Shops in spin-off games==
===Kecleon Shop===
{{main|Kecleon Shop}}
[[File:Kecleon Shop PMD2 PMD3.png‎|thumb|200px|The Kecleon Shop in Treasure Town]]
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], there are no Poké Marts, as it takes place in an alternate world. However, two {{p|Kecleon}} run [[Kecleon Shop|their own shop]] based in [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]] and local dungeons. These shops have the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart, selling common items, as well as selling [[Wonder Orb]]s and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Treasure Bag]]. The Kecleon shop is run by two Kecleon brothers. The younger sells items like {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}} and [[toss items]] and the older sells Wonder Orbs and [[TM]]s.

Kecleon Shops can also be found in dungeons. The shop is made up of a number of carpeted tiles on the floor in certain dungeons. These tiles have items on them. Invariably, a Kecleon will be standing on one of these tiles. When the player steps on a carpeted tile, the music changes and the player is greeted by the Kecleon. To buy an item, the player must pick it up and talk to the Kecleon to pay for them. To sell items, the player simply places them on empty shop tiles, and then receives the money from the Kecleon. Items available this way are sometimes very rare and almost never available from the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square or Treasure Town. If the player picks them up and leaves the carpeted area, {{p|Kecleon}} will warp to the player's side, and demand payment. If the player refuses to pay, or tries to pay with insufficient funds, the Kecleon will label the {{player}} as a thief and begin to attack.

===Shops in Orre===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, throughout [[Orre]], many Poké Marts can be found. However, in Colosseum, none of these Poké Marts sell [[Poké Ball]]s. The only place they are available in this game is the [[Outskirt Stand]], where most variations of Poké Ball from [[Generation III]] are sold.

In Pokémon XD, [[Agate Village]] and [[Pyrite Town]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls and Great Balls, while [[Phenac City]] and [[Gateon Port]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Mart anime.png|thumb|240px|right|A Poké Mart in the anime]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior anime.png|240px|right|thumb|{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} inside a Poké Mart]]
Poké Marts in the anime work the same as the ones in the games, where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} buy [[item]]s for their Pokémon or sometimes [[Seal]]s through the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. What is different from the games is that some stores contain phones with which to call people, most commonly {{an|Professor Oak}}. In {{series|Best Wishes}}, although Poké Marts are now part of the [[Pokémon Center]] in the games, it has been shown that Poké Marts still exist externally in the anime.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
* There are leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn.
* The Poké Mart has its own theme, introduced in Generation III. Before it, Marts shared their music with the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Generation I]], and in [[Generation II]], its music was the same as the city or town the player was in. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the theme is altered from previous games. In [[Generation V]], the theme isn't heard while in Poké Marts due to them being inside [[Pokémon Center]]s, but it is used in [[Shopping Mall Nine]].
* While English-language versions of Pokémon have signs on the front saying "Mart", many non-English versions have the English word "Shop" instead.

Pokémon Storage System

2013-10-28T17:27:47Z

GoldenCelebi: /* Versions */ Adding XY information (though a little sketchy)

A '''Pokémon Storage System''' allows {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to be stored and transmitted as computer data, and allows Trainers to keep more than the six Pokémon allowed in the [[party]]. The first such system was originally developed by [[Bill]]. There have been at least six versions of the Storage System seen in various games.

Pokémon Storage Systems are typically accessed through the [[PC]]s in [[Pokémon Center]]s.

An online version of the storage system, called [[Pokémon Bank]], has been announced by Nintendo for [[Generation VI]].

==Versions==
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|right|220px|Bill's Pokémon Storage System in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
There have been at least six versions of the Pokémon Storage System seen in various games:

* '''[[Bill]]'s Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}) is a Pokémon Storage System used in both regions of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], Bill's system can store 20 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} per box, while there are 12 boxes in Generation I and 14 in Generation II. (In the Japanese versions, 30 Pokémon can be stored per box, and there are 8 boxes in Generation I and 9 in Generation II.) Generation II also adds the ability to rename the boxes for easier organization. However, each time a box is changed, the game must be saved. If a box becomes full, the [[Player character|player]] must change boxes or no more Pokémon can be [[Caught Pokémon|captured]]. In Generation II, Bill will contact the player via [[Pokégear]] when a box has become full. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokémon Storage System uses the [[Nintendo DS]]'s touch screen and otherwise operates in the same manner as Bebe's system does in [[Generation IV]]. In Generation I only, Pokémon sent to Bill's PC are not restored to full health.
* '''[[Lanette]]'s Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) is an entirely new Pokémon Storage System, with a graphical user interface and the capacity to store up to 420 Pokémon in 14 boxes, each of which can hold 30 Pokémon. An added feature is usage of the <sc>start</sc> and <sc>select</sc> button, which respectively move the cursor to go to the box title and highlight the cursor, giving strict movement of Pokémon. When a box becomes full, Pokémon will be moved to the next available box eliminating the worry of running out of space.
* '''[[Brigette]]'s Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]]) is based on Lanette's Pokémon Storage System, but with greatly expanded capacity and an improved interface; it can hold up to 1500 Pokémon, and allows the user to move many Pokémon at once.
* '''Lanette's Pokémon Storage System''' (upgraded by Bill, as seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}) adds the ability to manage [[held item]]s directly from the PC. The amount of boxes stayed the same and each holds 30 Pokémon.
* '''[[Bebe]]'s Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}) is the same as Lanette's system, but the number of boxes has been increased from 14 to 18, for a maximum capacity of 540. It was created with help from Bill. It is possibly an upgraded version of Bill's modification of Lanette's system. In Platinum, six more wallpaper designs were added. When the Y button is pressed, the hand turns yellow instead of white, allowing players to simply pick up and drop Pokémon in necessary slots (as opposed to confirming this action every time the A button is pressed). Each box holds 30 Pokémon.
* '''[[Amanita]]'s Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]) has the player start out with eight boxes capable of holding 240 Pokémon total. When all 8 boxes have at least one Pokémon in them, the storage capacity will be increased to 16 boxes, holding 480 Pokémon. When all 16 of those boxes have at least one Pokémon in them, the capacity will be increased again to a maximum of 24 boxes, or 720 Pokémon. This allows for quicker save times early on, as [[Saving|save]] data for non-"unlocked" boxes does not need to be calculated, solving a common complaint about Generation IV's long save times. Each box still holds 30 Pokémon. The other boxes are also shown on the right, as opposed to the top as they were in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Box names cannot be any [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|censored words]]; in Black and White only, Box names cannot contain more than four numerical characters.
* '''[[Cassius]]' Pokémon Storage System''' (as seen in [[Pokémon X and Y]]) is very similar to Amanita's, but with one box fewer at each stage. This gives space for the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}} in the list of boxes, which now opens separately instead of superimposed on the box screen, allowing the player to quickly swap two boxes around with the Touch Screen. Box names can also now contain the É and é characters. 

===Others involved===
* [[Celio]] operates a system in the [[Sevii Islands]] which initially was separate from all others. With the help of Bill, he was able to link his system to mainland Kanto, allowing travelers from the nearby region, such as the {{player}}, to access their Pokémon. Eventually, with more help from the player, as well as the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} to boost the power, Celio was able to connect to the far-off [[Hoenn]] region.
* [[Hayley]] owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|Pokémon ranch]] where she collects information and data from Pokémon. She is good friends with [[Bebe]] and they still keep in contact with each other.

==Features==
===Wallpaper===
Wallpaper is a background to the Pokémon Storage System. Beginning with the interface of [[Generation III]], the background of each box can be decorated with one of sixteen different default wallpapers. It can be changed, making it easier to distinguish between boxes. Changing wallpaper doesn't affect the Pokémon in the Pokémon Storage System.

====={{v2|Emerald}}=====
In {{game|Emerald}}, certain unique phrases will result in [[Walda]] in [[Rustboro City]] giving the player a special, customizable wallpaper design by cheering her up and making her laugh. These wallpapers can be generated online at various websites such as this generator at [http://www.filb.de/games/gba/emerald/word Filb.de]. The player can only have one customized wallpaper, which is categorized under "Friends". The following are a few examples of the wallpapers that can be generated.

====[[Generation IV]]====
The games of Generation IV all share the same basic wallpapers, most of which are derived from the wallpaper types of the preceding generation. In addition, there are 24 unlockable wallpapers; 8 for {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, 8 for {{v2|Platinum}}, and 8 for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In [[Sinnoh]], these eight special wallpapers can be unlocked by speaking an unique series of words from the [[Easy chat system]] to a man in [[Jubilife TV]], located in [[Jubilife City]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the wallpapers can be unlocked by talking to [[Primo]] at [[Violet City]]'s Pokémon Center. With the correct phrases, players can access eight wallpapers related to the two games, as well as three {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Like with {{v2|Emerald}}, [http://www.filb.de/games/tools/aikotoba online generators] have been created to supply players with these phrases. The phrases generated are dependent on the player's game, ID number, and region.

However, instead of being unlocked through online generators, these wallpapers are awarded to the player upon completing objectives.

===Markings===
A marking tool was introduced in the [[Generation III]] games, with [[Lanette]]'s Pokémon Storage System. This tool helps the player to organize their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} within the boxes, but is not necessary for game play. Each Pokémon can be marked with any combination of the different markings. Prior to {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, this could be done only while the player was operating the Pokémon Storage System. In Generation III, there were four markings: ●, ■, ▲, and ♥. In [[Generation IV]], two more markings were introduced and the order was rearranged, making the full list ●, ▲, ■, ♥, ★ and ♦, in that order (this order was kept in [[Generation V]]). The markings appear in the Pokémon Storage System and on the Pokémon's {{DL|Menu|Pokémon|summary screen}}. A Pokémon will keep its marking settings if traded to another Trainer.

===Battle Box===
The Battle Box is a feature introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. It allows the player to compete with six, user-determined Pokémon which can be used instead of the current [[party]] in [[infrared]] link battles, the [[Battle Subway]], and Random Matchup. Tournaments which utilize the "Battle Competition" feature require its use; therefore, all the [[Global Battle Union]] tournaments require it. The user may access the Battle Box through the [[PC]]. Once the user of the Battle Box registers their Pokémon team for an official tournament that uses the "Battle Competition" feature, the team is locked in the Battle Box and may not be modified (even the reordering of moves) or removed from the box until the end of the competition.

===Naming Storage Boxes===
Starting [[Generation V]], the inability to use [[List of censored words in Generation V|censored]] words in any player-inputs, including storage Box names, was incorporated. This also included four numerical digits; however, in {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, this limit was removed.

==In the anime==
A system for transferring Pokémon electronically exists, and is utilized in all [[Pokémon Center]]s as well as the labs of all [[Pokémon Professor]]s. However, unlike in the games, Pokémon are not stored electronically, and in this continuity, the developer of the system was [[Dr. Akihabara]]. [[EP038|On one occasion]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were able to invade this system in an attempt to steal Pokémon, but failed thanks to Ash and his friends.

It also seems that the [[Pokédex]] automatically connects to this system when a capture is made while there are six Pokémon in a user's [[party]], as seen with the capture of {{AP|Ash's Krabby|Kingler}} in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''. {{an|Misty}} also states that there is a button on the Pokédex that can transfer Pokémon between the Trainer and where their Pokémon are sent. However, the Pokémon Storage System in Unova seems to lack this feature: in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', when Ash catches {{AP|Sewaddle}} as his seventh Pokémon, the Poké Ball shrinks and locks up instead of being teleported straight to the Pokémon Storage System.

== I have a question for you regarding my user page. ==

Now, I want to make my user page better, but I wanna ask.

Is it ok that I list my favorite Pokémon and what I like don't like about Pokémon, or does my user page have to be relevant to this encyclopedia somehow? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 01:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
:That's entirely fine, and pretty much exactly what the userspace is meant for. A list of what isn't allowed, as well as additional rules & restrictions regarding the userspace, can be found at the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

== Sprite completion ==

Everything in Stage 2 of the Trainer sprites project has been finished, including the protected pages (with special thanks to Sprite-it for fixing them all). Masatoshi{{tt|*|also with special thanks}} already took care of Stage 3 after all of the sprite links were changed on their respective pages so we don't have to worry about that. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:Both Spriteit and Masatoshi had already come to me in regards to approval for the work they did, so I'm already aware of the completion of Stage 2 and Stage 3. But, thank you anyway for the progress report. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

== Question about Dunsparce page ==

I recently updated the page with its Gold/Silver backsprites in an extra box, and you changed the extras to the Crystal backsprites.
In the history page it says the main box sprites will "take a while to refresh"; does this mean they will correctly show the Gold/Silver backsprites soon? As of now they appear to show the Crystal sprites. Just wondering! [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:18, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:They're meant to show Crystal backsprite, while that big template should show GS (someone uploaded Crystal backsprite on GS's file) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 12:28, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
::I'm not sure if I should revert them back to the proper file or if that's in the works already D: I did upload the G/S files prior to my edit to show the differences between the two and I'm not sure why they're now both the Crystal sprite.

:It's an issue of copyright. Copying the subject of an episode word for word can be considered a rather serious violation of respective copyrights.

== I'm confused... ==

What's the difference between when a Pokémon learns a new move, or is revealed to know it? --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 00:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:Learning a move is physically seen in the episode. The main characters will point out that it didn't know the move beforehand. (Cilan's Crustle using Rock Wrecker after evolving is an example) Revealing a move is when the characters are aware that the Pokémon knows the move, they just haven't used it before. (Example being Cilan's Dwebble using Rock Slide for the first time) [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 00:54, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

==Project Pokémon==
Hi. I was wondering if I could start a project : Project Pokemon. a project that where infomation about pokemon TCG online and stratiges to build strong decks. I play at the local hobbie shop and noticed the lack of data on real life decks and good stratiges to make them strong. That is where Project Pokemon comes in, to make articles about cards, decks, and good stratiges. I know pokemon.com is a sorce but the data is limited and only on like 2-3 card combos which is very sad because pokemon is more than that. please get back to me. It said to ask a staff member and I noticed you are online. do you have the power or know someone I could ask? Thank You --[[User:Eatfish|Eatfish]] ([[User talk:Eatfish|talk]]) 19:27, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== Shaymin events ==

Hey, Kogoro. I was wondering if you could take a look at [[Shaymin#In events|the Event page for Shaymin]] if you have a chance to. I am not familiar enough with how the template works and was hoping that you could work out the remaining issues on the table. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:07, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:Because of that template being updated the template is broken on tons of other Pokémon pages, not just Shaymin. It was updated as part of a major event Pokémon rework on Bulbapedia. The way to fix the problems on the template is by adding the link perimeter, because the [[Template:gameabbrev3]] breaks the event template without the link perimeter. I can fix the template in a little bit. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 20:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
::Ah, thank you for that. I saw it had been updated, but I thought that it was something that I was forgetting to do with Shaymin's page. Thank you for the help. :) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey I've been trying to move the articles about the BW chapters that are a part of the newly-released Volume 44 so that I can rename them so that the links on the Volume 44 page actually lead to something.

== Bulbapedia News ==

Dear Kogoro, I would like to know if I could create a Area in the main page, with helpful info to new trainers, or Rumors on new pokemon, or Fanfiction stories, or anything Pokemon related? {{unsigned|ShadowPikachu126}}

== Koga's and Giovanni's sprites ==

Deat Kogoro,
I am trying to change Giovanni's and Koga's VS sprite to their gen III sprites because they aren't gym leaders in generation IV. If you look up Viridian City and Fuchsia City, you will see Koga's and Giovanni's gen III, not their VS sprites. Also, if you try to edit Viridian City or Fuchsia City, you will see a message by an admin saying that their gen III sprites are used because they weren't gym leaders in gen IV and that admin will ban you for 1 month if you edit it to their gen IV sprite. I am trying to follow his example and change their VS sprites to their gen III sprites. If you could, please let me do so.

Sincerely,
{{unsigned|Agent5514}}
:Commented instructions are only in effect on the page they are placed on, unless they specifically note additional pages that are also subject to the instructions. The Indigo League and Gym Leader pages use the VS sprites for consistency within the table, among other reasons, and were done so after a lengthy discussion. It was also brought up in [[Talk:Gym Leader#Why vs sprites?|July 2012]], and it was made quite clear that users preferred the VS sprites over the FRLG battle sprites for Koga and Giovanni on the Gym Leader page.

:When someone reverts you, especially a member of the {{bp|staff|Bulbapedia staff}}, it is imperative that you do ''not'' restore your changes and that you bring up your concerns on the article's talk page instead. What you have done on the Gym Leader and Indigo League pages is start what is called an {{bp|Blocking policy#Threats and edit/revert wars|edit war}}, which is not permitted on Bulbapedia and can result in blocks ranging from temporary to permanent. If you wish for the sprites to be changed, bring it up on the talk page for the Gym Leader article, and allow due discussion. Do not restore your changes until such discussion has taken place, and been properly finalized.

== Stadium sprites ==

Hello, Kogoro! I'm having a slight problem, and {{u|Spriteit|a user}} recommended I'd ask you. So, here goes: 
A little while back I noticed that Bulbagarden Archives have all the Stadium and Stadium 2 Pokémon sprites, which made me wonder why aren't they at use. So I checked it out, and found out that the {{template|Party}} template cannot show Stadium images in their properly small size. So, the favor I'm asking you is, that could you please edit the aforementioned template so that the Stadium Pokémon sprites can be used in it with a proper size? I hope you understood. Thank you! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC) 
<strike>'''PS.''' BTW, do you know how to upload Stadium images, because several Stadium portraits, including several Trainer portrait from Stadium, and, most importantly to me, Mewtwo's portrait from Stadium 2. So, if you can do this, could you please tackle this job after (possibly) completing the aforementioned request? Once again, thank you.</strike>
:To start, you seem to be a little confused here, so I want to clear this up: {{template|party}} has nothing to do with what Pokémon images can and can't be used, that's specified by the version of the Pokémon box that is used (example: {{template|Pokémon/1}}). With that said, the Stadium models a massive issue preventing their use in parties; they're all inconsistently sized. {{img|Stadium010|Caterpie's}} file is exceptionally tiny, while {{img|Stadium009|Blastoise's}} file is rather large. Blastoise's image is rather square, while {{img|Stadium130|Gyarados's}} file is much taller than it is wide. There may be ways to handle these size issues, but to accomplish that will take quite a bit of planning. Additionally, it will take the creation of a completely new Pokémon box for Stadium & Stadium 2 use. I will look into it, but I make no promises of it working or ever seeing the mainspace. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
::Before I thank you, I'd like to say that yes, I knew that the images were incorrectly sized, but I thought that the problem was at the template. I seemed to think that there could be a way to make the template show the images in a proper size, but if that's not the case, and something new has to be done, take all the time you need. And now, thank you for your attention. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

== Question about general typo editing ==

Uh, hello Kogoro. I use this wiki alot, and I kept coming up on a few typoes as I was doing some searching. I was trying to edit the Gardevoir main page, because I saw a capitalization error. I didn't see any edit buttons. I'm assuming it's because Gardevoir recently got the fairy type. But then I went to add something to Gallade's page, and I didn't see edit buttons there, either. So, uh, yeah, help me out? (Also, in case I can't edit it, the typo was a capital 'T' in torso on Gardevoir's page, and the Gallade thing was just some trivia) [[User:Snorzy|Snorzy]] ([[User talk:Snorzy|talk]]) 03:29, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
:Both articles are protected due to Gardevoir's new Fairy typing, since speculation/unsourced information has an extremely bad habit of spreading to intimately connected articles. If an article doesn't have any edit links, and the main "edit this page" tab has been replaced by "'''view source'''", the article in question is under protection and the reason can be seen by checking the source via the aforementioned tab. An edit request can be made on the article's talk page, and action will be taken as quickly as possible. The capitalization fix for Gardevoir's article has been handled by {{u|Force Fire}}.

== Have a look to Ivsaur's Page ==

Hello Sir,the edits I made yesterday were reverted by you and you are right about them that they should be rewritten.
Please Tell me what should be changed.
In my opinion:
* Habitat should be removed.(As already mentioned in the message of 14th August)
* Diet should be removed.
* Only special moves and abilities should be added.
* A small brief introduction at the top.

Is this all I have to do?

Just out of curiosity, why did you change the colors of each region except Kalos? I was so used to those colors. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 16:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
:The region colors, specifically Sinnoh's color, was causing problems with some templates due to the extreme similarities it had to the colors for Black and Black 2. Additionally, the colors for the regions had no official basis and were somewhat randomly decided (mostly by an individual who did not have the authority to make such decisions). The official guidebook for Black 2 and White 2 contains information regarding the PWT, uses the these very colors for the regional Gym Leader tournaments. Kalos, of course, didn't exist at the time and still uses an unofficial color. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 22:30, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

== Suggestion: Strategies ==

Hello Kogoro, I come to you with a suggestion, a rather ambitious and large one so sit back, grab your tea and get ready to read because it's going to be a long post.

'''Overview:'''

As a frequent and old Pokémon player I regularly find the need to search for the best way to raise my Pokémon, which Pokémon are the best to catch, and after having them, how can I maximize the potential of each and every Pokémon in my team. As you clearly know, there is no information on Bulbapedia (except for some stats, abilities and natures, but nothing indicative of a potential "best" situation) regarding this matter. Therefore, I wish to make a proposition so we can fulfill this niche of players who look to find the best way to make their team the most powerful one, or just to help guide the average player with his playing experience in order to avoid some frustration as to why his Pokémon aren't performing in up top shape. To serve this purpose I'm going to make two suggestions: the first one would be a simple short version of what a possible best strategy could be; and the second one would be a sort of in-depth guide for the training on each individual Pokémon. Now on to the suggestions!

:'''Disclaimer:''' (should be written and applied in all suggestions)

These builds and strategies are all but mere suggestions to serve as a guide for the average player who may struggle with the use of his Pokémon or simply to allow
them to learn more about how to unlock the true potential of each Pokémon. It is not meant for the player to be forced to take this path. The player should choose, by himself, which is the best way to raise his Pokémon.

:'''''First Suggestion - Recommended Strategy'''''

Objective - Serves as a quick go-to guide for the overall best strategy for a specific Pokémon.

''Example'':

{{Pokémon
|pokemon=Dragonite
|ndex=149
|level=100
|game=HeartGold and SoulSilver
|gender=male
|type1=Dragon|type2=Flying
|held=Leftovers
|ability=Multiscale
|move1=ExtremeSpeed|move1type=Normal|move1cat=Physical
|move2=Outrage|move2type=Dragon|move2cat=Physical
|move3=Dragon Dance|move3type=Dragon|move3cat=Status
|move4=Waterfall|move4type=Water|move4cat=Physical}}

''EVs and Nature:''

EVs: 252 Attack / 4 Speed / 252 Special
Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)

These EVs are completely focused on hard hitting targets, with a maximized Attack and Special Attack stats as it will guarantee a clear sweep which will continue to improve with each successful Dragon Dance.

See [[EV]] and [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] for more information on how to raise your Pokémon stats (alternatively it would be a good idea to make a page dedicated just to how to train your Pokémon's EV and how Natures affect your Pokémon, etc etc etc).

''Strategy:''

The strategy is as simples as follows:

* Keep using Dragon Dance whenever the opponent opens up a window of opportunity;
* Hit them straight in the face with whichever move is the best against that Pokémon, otherwise stick to Outrage;
* Use Extremespeed as a finisher;

Optionally, the use of Earthquake against teams who use Steel, Poison or Fire Pokémon has proven very effective. Roost is also
a good move if the player wishes to make the most out of Multiscale.

:'''''Second Suggestion - In-depth Guide'''''

Objective - Provide a complete in-depth competitive strategy giving the most important information and explanations about which build to choose for the specific Pokémon. As we know the competitive scene always brings out the best in the meta of every game, so to dedicate a page to strategies of the current metagame could greatly serve and help anyone who is looking for the best of the best.

''Example''

::'''Pokémon'''

*Name: Dragonite
*Index: 149
*First Type: Dragon
*Second Type: Flying
*Species: Dragon Pokémon
*Ability: Multiscale or Inner Focus

(tip: a box specific for this idea would be nice, I couldn't find one)

::'''Strategy Name: '''Physical Attacker
*Held Item: Haban Berry / Leftovers
*Abilty: Multiscale
*Nature: Adamant

::'''EV:'''
* 204 HP
* 252 Attack
* 52 Special Attack

::'''Moveset'''
* Dragon Claw
* Extremespeed
* Fire Punch
* Protect

::'''Strategy'''

This is the standard Dragonite set. Dragon Claw is Dragonite's main move, as it gets the STAB boost and is only resisted by Steel-types. Fire Punch provides nice coverage along with Dragon Claw, hitting Abomasnow and Steel-types for super effective damage. However, it should be noted that despite being super effective, Fire Punch won't do over 50% to max HP Metagross. ExtremeSpeed will allow Dragonite to strike first, moving even before all other priority attacks bar Fake Out. Protect is a staple for most Pokemon in VGC, and can also be used in sync with Leftovers to help restore HP each turn.

The 204 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive Life Orb Latios's Draco Meteor, and also gives it maximum Leftovers recovery and good bulk. The 52 Speed EVs let Dragonite outrun minimum speed Rotom-A. The rest of the EVs are put into Attack. An Adamant nature allows Dragonite to deal as much damage as possible, while Leftovers is used to restore some HP each turn, which might allow multiple usage of Multiscale. Haban Berry, however, lets Dragonite survive a Dragon Gem Latios's Draco Meteor, which it cannot do with just Multiscale.

As for teammates, Ground-types such as Krookodile can work well as Dragonite is immune to their Earthquake. Scrafty is a handy partner as it has Fake Out to help Dragonite preserve Mutiscale for a turn. Its STAB attacks are also super effective against Abomasnow and Latios, Dragonite's two main counters. Either Politoed or Ninetales can also be used to get rid of opposing sandstorm and hail if needed, as both of these weathers will break Dragonite's Multiscale. [http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/dragonite/vgc2012 Taken from Smogon University] (I am aware that we shouldn't provide content from other websites without asking their permission but I don't have the enough experience to write a full on strategy by myself, I merely wanted to use this as an example, I understand if you have to remove this and if I would have to be scolded for putting this here)

'''Important side note:''' all of this information should be backed with a link to a page explaining how to evolve your Pokémon to raise their EVs this way, why and what natures affect what stats, what Pokémon to fight against if you want to have the best stats raised, how to catch Pokérus to further your stat evolution, the use of Vitamins in EVs, training with Macho Brace and the remaining factors that can boost the stats of the Pokémon.

''Secondary side note:'' As you can see the difference between this guide and the first guide is that the first guide should provide a more comprehensive and simple way for anyone to build their Pokémon in a specific powerful way, while the second one should be an all-out strategy taking the most important factors into consideration on the current metagame.

'''Pros and Cons of these suggestions:'''

Pros - the first suggestion is quick, succinct, easy to read and understandable, every build shouldn't be bigger than that, and the idea is that anyone can easily shortcut it's ways through the menu and quickly understand one of the best builds for Dragonite (in its page). The second suggestion should have a page completely dedicated to it and should serve as a complete in-depth guide of how to build a specific Pokémon. If we display several strategies while backing up that information with each and every VGC (and other important tournaments), this solves the subjective con since we could 100% base ourselves on real strategies used in real life tournaments and place them there for anyone to learn.

Cons - subjectiveness, my idea of "best build" can differ from the next guy, so this can be a problem in the sense that will probably generate a lot of discussion and to ascertain a common "best build" amongst the community could be very hard. This would require a change in each and every Pokémon page to grant a strategy to each one of it, or would require the creation of 600+ pages for in-depth guides in each Pokémon page. Either one of those are obviously time consuming. Another added con is that all of this information is very volatile as it can change from generation to generation with stats/abilities/move updates and new moves coming in to the game, requiring constant maintenance with each generation.

Presented Solutions - create a best strategy contest! This contest should be held weekly with different Pokémons each week, allowing for the community to pitch in their very own version of what the best strategy is while in the meantime allowing anyone who visits Bulbapedia to vote on what the best strategy is. At the end of the week the contest closes and the best strategy is posted on the Pokémon page crediting the user who entered the strategy. This could entice the community in to sharing ideas between them and would definitely bring more people in so they could place their own strategies for everyone to see. This solution could be made on the Bulbapedia page, or have a part of the forum dedicated to it. It could also be applied to any of the two suggestions I made.

'''Conclusion'''

I understand that overall this is a very, very hard and ambitious project for the whole Bulbapedia, with new games coming up every year, with new Anime and new Manga out every month, there is a lot of information that needs to be reviewed and constantly updated. Even after all these years the to-do list for Bulbapedia is huge and there's always some things that were left out that could have been done in a better fashion, hence my fear that making this could be a bite bigger than Bulbapedia can chew, and so I am ready to accept the fact that this suggestion will, most possibly, be discarded and forgotten as certainly there are other things waiting to be done and reserved for the future of Bulbapedia. To finish this massive wall of text, I just want to thank you for your patience and attention given in reading all this, I am very sorry that it had to came out this long, and I wish to point out that all I ever wanted was to provide a new perspective, a competitive perspective even, a new way for Bulbapedia to improve and become a better place for everyone. However, I didn't want to do it without having my opinions properly backed up. ----[[User:EtherealAether|EtherealAether]] ''([[User talk:EtherealAether|talk]])'' 16:34, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
:While this is certainly a niche that we don't cover in extreme detail, we have very important reasons why we can't cover it in such a way. Per our {{bp|manual of style}}, information in articles should be factual and neutral. Strategy suggestions/advice is completely opposite to that. Bulbapedia is not a game guide, nor does it strive to be one, Bulbapedia is a Pokémon encyclopedia. We do not strive to recommend or tell players how they should play and enjoy the games, we strive to offer factual information that allows them to create their own strategies and experiences. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 22:30, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

::::The German name begins with "Fee", which is German for "fairy". [[User:Briguychau|Briguychau]] ([[User talk:Briguychau|talk]]) 05:45, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
The French name contains "nymph" and the English name contains "Syl". The "Syl" could be referring to the Greek mythological nymph "Syllis" who was a lover of the Greek mythological god "Apollo"-The Greek god of light or the sun. This may connect with the rumored new "light" type. It being the lightest eeveelution yet may also be a hint to that. "Syl" could also represent mythological Sylphs(sky fairies), which could be hinting towards Sylveon being flying(or at least part flying) type. Another indication of this is (according to the Wikipedia article on Sylphs)the article states that they ride the "wind", hence the ribbons appearing as being blown by wind. It also states that sylphs are said to be slender and graceful and having large glistening eyes. All of these examples are reflected in Ninfia/Sylveon's design. It also doesn't really follow the traditional design style of any current types. A bit off topic here but Xerneas is kind of the same in the sense of looking like the current types and the rainbow-esque style of it's "antlers". Rainbows strongly relate to light and it goes on... But getting into new types and Xerneas is pointless as this is the Sylveon discussion page. [[User:Vexino|Vexino]] ([[User talk:Vexino|talk]]) 03:03, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Sylveon must be a Flying-type. A sylph is a mythological creature in the Western tradition. The term was created by Paracelsus, who described sylphs as elementals of the air. Who knows, maybe it can fly with its ribbons. To add to my theory, Sylveon is also the lightest Eeveelution. -MasterZ 21:04, 21 February 2013 (EST)

I’d say the German name is a mix of ‘Fee’ (fairy) and Felinae (felinae), ending in -ara just as Nachtara (Umbreon) and Flamara (Flareon). Any other ideas about that? Should we add the Fee/felinae part to the German name explanation? [[User:Peterpansexuell|Peterpansexuell]] ([[User talk:Peterpansexuell|talk]]) 14:13, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
:Please discuss this on the forums, as it would be best to speculate there. Its name could come from a lot of things, it is hard to say for sure until we know more information.

::By now it's pretty obvious that in every language its name is based on a feminine mythological creature: Nymph (Japanese and French), Sylph (English) and "Fee" (German for "fairy"). The "felinae" part is debatable, but the mythological pattern is there. --[[User:Perlgia|Perlgia]] ([[User talk:Perlgia|talk]]) 17:58, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

== Sylveon Video Moves ==

I'm sure in the video featuring Sylveon, it uses moves similiar to both Swift and Trump Card, could this be added?[[User:TurtleLover1999|TurtleLover1999]] ([[User talk:TurtleLover1999|talk]]) 17:35, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

::We will not be adding any information into the articles unless it has been confirmed by an official source. Adding the moves because they look like "Swift" would be speculation. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:17, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

== Reddish fur? ==

Unless I am color blind, I think that "reddish fur" it has would more be a light/hot pink, ''not'' "reddish". —[[User:Clubchloe1|'''Club''']][[User talk:Clubchloe1|'''chloe1''']] 19:36, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

== Miscelaneous details ==

Tied with Vaporeon, Umbreon, and Leafeon for tallest eeveelution. [[User:OneInTwenty|OneInTwenty]] ([[User talk:OneInTwenty|talk]]) 22:54, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Sylveon is the lightest Eeveelution, implying that it could be a Flying-type. -MasterZ 21:08, 21 February 2013 (EST)

== First Gen VI Pokémon to make an anime debut? ==

I think this might be too early to post, but since Sylveon is confirmed to appear in the upcoming [[Pikachu short]] ''[[PK25]]'', does that make Sylveon the first Generation VI Pokémon to debut in the anime? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 00:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
:PK25 doesn't air until July 13, and the anime still has a few months left. They could throw something in between now and then, so I say we wait.

== Sylveon Evolutionbox ==

I'm pretty sure that Sylveon is an Eeveelution...
Anyways, why not add an Evolution portion? We know that Sylveon evolves from Eevee, so why not add that to the infobox?
{{evobox
|family=Normal
|sprite1=133
|name1=Eevee
|type1-1=Normal
|evotype1=???
|evostone1=File:000MS.png
|sprite2=000
|name2=Sylveon
|type1-2=???}}
So it would look like that.

::I don't think not knowing the method should matter. We also mention the Pokémon that any Pokémon evolves from on its page in the same way we do for Sylveon, but include an infobox as well.

== English Name Origin ==

Shouldn't it mention how the name 'Sylveon' ends with ''-eon'', just like all Eeveelutions, as it says this for the French Name Origin?[[User:TurtleLover1999|TurtleLover1999]] ([[User talk:TurtleLover1999|talk]]) 15:36, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
:In fact, there is no English name origin section at all. Where the English name origin is on other pages, we instead have a duplicate of the Japanese name origin section. Hmm. - ''signed comment from [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] ([[User talk:GoldenCelebi|pedia talk]] • [[Bulbanews:User talk:GoldenCelebi|news talk]] • [[a:User talk:GoldenCelebi|archives talk]])'' ''18:41, 24 March 2013 (UTC)''
I'm more concerned with the fact it most likely originates from "sylvan", which refers to woods and forests. (Which only adds to the mystery of why it's named such and yet can't be a Grass type....)[[User:FerreTrip|FerreTrip]] ([[User talk:FerreTrip|talk]]) 21:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Sylveon comes from "sylph" the definitions of which are... 1. A messenger from the air. 2. A slender woman or girl. It is pretty much another word for nymph, like in Ninfia. As a side note, most of it's names have origins that specify females. I think we have a genderlock! =) [[User:Team-Eevee|Team-Eevee]] ([[User talk:Team-Eevee|talk]]) 15:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't think having the word "sylph" in it's name instantly means it's a gender-locked evolution, especially since {{p|Eevee}} itself has a gender ratio of 1♀/7♂. Then again, {{p|Combee}} has the same ratio yet has a gender-locked evo. --[[User:Relicant|Relicant]] ([[User talk:Relicant|talk]]) 17:35, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

:Going by that logic, Slowking and Mr. Mime should be only male. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 18:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I took that into account, but there is more evidence supporting a genderlock than just names. Virgil's unevolved Eevee was unneccesarily revealed to be female though the anime almost never specifies genders. In Pikachu & Eevee Friends, it is stressed in the new trailer that Meowth has a huge crush on the Sylveon. So in addition to name and anime hints, we have seen pokemon like Vespiquen, Froslass, and Galade. A female exclusive Eeveelution would be tough to obtain, which GameFreak has been fond of lately. Besides, if it weren't genderlocked, why would nymph AND sylph have been used? If it were a dragon-type, why not Draceon, Scaleon, or Fangeon? If it were a flying-type, why not Windeon, Breezeon, or Cloudeon? If it were a normal-type, why not Eeveeon, Faireon, or Pixeon? Just something to think about. I hope I'm right, but if I'm wrong I'm wrong... as are a lot of gender confused Sylveon XD [[User:Team-Eevee|Team-Eevee]] ([[User talk:Team-Eevee|talk]]) 23:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
:Can we please stop speculating on talk pages. They are for the discussion of the article, not the topic of the article.

== What it looks like. ==

Most of Eevee's evolutions are foxes, except Espeon. This one looks like a deer with paws. {{unsigned|Likalaruku}}

Sylveon looks like it's made up of a lot of other Pokemon parts. It has Victini eyes, Miccino ears, Deerling tail, Milotic ribbons, Gothita bows, and Glaceon/Leafeon feet. [[User:Glitchynidoqueen|Glitchynidoqueen]] ([[User talk:Glitchynidoqueen|talk]]) 22:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Moves, perhaps? ==

Hey, just a quick question. Would it be a good idea to add the pre-evolution moves that it can learn, as we know all of those from Eevee, or would it be advised to wait until we know everything which it can learn? Just a tidbit curious, is all. [[User:Sioli|Sioli]] ([[User talk:Sioli|talk]]) 00:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

'''Nidoqueen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドクイン''' ''Nidoqueen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Ground}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidorina}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. She is the final form of {{p|Nidoran♀}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoqueen is a large, {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed bipedal}}, blue Pokémon. Her lower jaw, chest plates and lower torso are cream-colored, with the latter two features collectively resembling a two-piece bikini worn by human females. Like her male equivalent {{p|Nidoking}}, Nidoqueen now has distinct reptilian features alongside her mammalian ears. Nidoqueen has spikes running down the length of her back and has a horn on her forehead.

====Gender differences====
Nidoqueen is the female of the species. For the male equivalent, see {{p|Nidoking}}.

===Special abilities===
Nidoqueen have long spikes that {{a|Poison Point|ooze poison}} on contact with foes. Nidoqueen can also cause small {{m|Earthquake|tremors}} by slamming the ground. Nidoqueen possesses some elemental versatility, being able to learn moves from several different types such as those that are {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Fighting}}.

As with most fully evolved Pokémon, Nidoqueen can also use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective over her young. She will try to seal the entrance to her burrow to protect her young. Her hard, needle-like scales, which appear to grow in cycles, stand up when excited or provoked.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Nidoqueen live in expansive hot savannas and plains. She is normally found in the same places that {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidorina}} is found.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Gary Nidoqueen.png|thumb|250px|right|Nidoqueen in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Danny]] owns a Nidoqueen. This Nidoqueen was shown competing against [[Ash's Lapras]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'' in which the challenge was freezing a super-heated geyser. Afterwards, this Nidoqueen helped Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Scyther}} carve Danny's sled. She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] was shown to have a Nidoqueen after Ash's trip on the Orange Islands. Gary first used his Nidoqueen to defend [[Professor Oak (anime)|his grandfather]]'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] from [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]''. Gary later used Nidoqueen in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat]]'' in the [[Johto League]]. Gary's Nidoqueen defeated [[Ash's Tauros]] and was defeated by [[Ash's Snorlax]].

A Nidoqueen appeared under the ownership of [[Oscar and Andi|Andi]] in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]''. Her boyfriend, Oscar, had a {{p|Nidoking}}.

===Minor appearances===
Nidoqueen's first appearance was in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. A Nidoqueen owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. The Nidoqueen clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', along with what was apparently a Nidoqueen baby despite the fact that Nidoqueen cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] and her unevolved form is Nidoran♀.

Nidoqueen also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

Multiple Nidoqueen also appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', a Nidoqueen appeared with her Trainer, participating in the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]].

A Nidoqueen appeared with a blue jaw instead of a cream-colored one due to an error in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' with a {{p|Nidoking}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Nido.png|thumb|200px|right|{{adv|Green}}'s Nidoqueen, Nido]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Green}} had a Nidoran♀ in [[Pokémon Adventures]] that later evolved into a {{p|Nidorina}} and then into Nidoqueen to provide support for [[Blasty]]'s {{m|Hydro Cannon}} alongside her {{p|Granbull}} and [[Jiggly]].

{{adv|Giovanni}} has a Nidoqueen as well, as seen in his Gym battle against {{adv|Red}}, where it almost fainted {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Snor}} by throwing it through the wall, but was eventually beaten by [[Pika]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. It was later seen very briefly again in the [[Sevii Islands]] when he used it and his {{p|Nidoking}} to manhandle a biker whom {{adv|Deoxys}} had ambushed. Red himself also caught a Nidoqueen in the {{safari|Kanto}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
While taking over the Silph Co., [[Giovanni]] used Nidoqueen to hold the Silph Co. boss hostage.

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|right|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in the anime]]
* Despite being a non-{{pkmn2|legendary}}, gendered species, Nidoqueen are unable to breed. However, her male counterpart, {{p|Nidoking}}, can.
** Many of her Pokédex entries state that she protects her young.
** Despite being in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}}, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', when a [[Cloning|cloned]] Nidoqueen and a cloned {{p|Rhyhorn}} produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and ''baby Nidoqueen'' (not baby {{p|Nidoran♀}}).
* Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary family member whose {{Shiny}} color is not the same as her opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Nidoqueen and her male counterpart {{p|Nidoking}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon. All four are also {{t|Ground}} types.
* Aside from Nidoking, no other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Nidoqueen.

===Origin===
She shares traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits and porcupines. The coverings on her chest and her lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece bikini worn by human females.

====Name origin====
Nidoqueen may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|queen}}'' (reflective of its gender and being the final evolution). ''Nido'' may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees), referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits.

'''Pokémon Dream Radar''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンARサーチャー''' ''Pokémon AR Searcher'') is an application for the Nintendo 3DS.

==Blurb==
In the game you'll be taking on the role of an assistant who works for Professor Burnet - a scientist studying the Interdream Zone. Move your Nintendo 3DS system around in this motion-controlled action game and take aim to shoot your light beam at the Dream Clouds and collect your rewards! This games is fun for anybody, and a fact-filled accompaniment to Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2. Any caught Pokémon or items you pick up in the Pokémon Dream Radar can be transferred to Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, which is very useful, since the Pokémon you catch might have hidden abilities not available for those games, and some items that can't normally be found either. Try to fill up your Pokédex as much as you can!

==Gameplay==
[[File:Dream Radar Kami trio promotional art.png|thumb|250px|left|Promotional artwork for Pokémon Dream Radar]]
{{bulbanews|game}}
The player is guided through the game by [[Professor Burnet]]. Burnet is studying the [[Interdream Zone]], and needs the player to collect Dream Orbs from it for her research. The player must enter the Interdream Zone and harvest Dream Orbs by using the Beam to destroy [[Dream Cloud]]s.

There are two types of Dream Clouds: pink and stormy. Pink clouds increase and decrease in size, while stormy clouds glow yellow. Pink Dream Clouds normally break into three Dream Orbs when hit, but can break into four or five Dream Orbs if hit while at their largest; stormy Dream Clouds always break into four Dream Orbs. Dream Clouds break into fewer orbs when there are fewer Dream Clouds present upon entering the Interdream Zone. Stormy Dream Clouds can contain Pokémon instead of Dream Orbs. After the player has harvested all the Dream Clouds and leaves the Interdream Zone, one will instantly regenerate, while the others regenerate over time at a rate of one cloud every five minutes after the player has harvested them. Up to three times per day, the player can restore the number of Dream Clouds to the maximum instantly at the cost of 5 Play Coins; Play Coins are collected by walking with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in one's pocket using the system's built-in pedometer.

If a Dream Cloud breaks into four or five Dream Orbs, hitting all of those orbs will cause the last orb hit to break into three more; if all three of these orbs are broken, the final orb will split into three more, and so on. Orbs produced in this way do not last as long as orbs produced directly from breaking Dream Clouds. Dream Orbs initially are solely pink, but after capturing Tornadus they alternate between pink and green; after capturing Thundurus, orange is added to this list, and after capturing Landorus blue is too. The colour of each Dream Orb when collected is secretly tallied by the game, and this affects the relative rarity of each Pokémon; for example, if more green orbs have been collected than any other colour, {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} are more likely to appear than any other Pokémon. 

Dream Clouds sometimes contain a Pokémon that has been trapped in the Interdream Zone instead of just Dream Orbs. When the player uses the Beam on a Dream Cloud containing a Pokémon, all the other Dream Clouds and Dream Orbs temporarily disappear and the Pokémon takes on the form of a glowing sphere; the [[kami trio]] do not appear as glowing orbs but instead in their [[Form differences#Kami trio|Therian Forme]], as this Forme is as a result of them adapting to the Interdream Zone. This initiates a timed battle with the sphere, in which it attempts to evade the player, and shoot circle projectiles which reduce the time remaining upon impact with the player. In order to capture the Pokémon, the player must continuously hit the center of the sphere with the Beam until the capture bar is full before the time runs out. If the player succeeds, either the Pokémon is captured or it drops an item, and this is added to the game's research data; the research data can then be transferred to a Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 game card inserted in the same Nintendo 3DS system.

Professor Burnet constantly conducts research, and over time will allow the player access to new extensions she has developed.

This app uses an auto-save feature to save the player's progress. The Pokémon Dream Radar app can be re-downloaded from the Nintendo eShop at no extra charge if it is no longer present on the SD card, but save data is stored on the SD card so the player would need to start again.

==Research data==
Pokémon caught and items obtained are stored as research data. Stacks of up to 6 different kinds of items and 6 different individual regular Pokémon can be stored in the research data at a time. If the player currently has 6 different item stacks or 6 different regular Pokémon and obtains another, they must replace one that is already held. If the player has 6 Pokémon or 6 stacks of items, a warning will pop up when pressing "Start Search". In addition to the 6 regular Pokémon, there is also a special row for legendary Pokémon. However, only 6 Pokémon can be sent to Black 2 or White 2 at a time, and the legendary Pokémon are always sent, so regular Pokémon will be left behind upon transferring research data when there are 7 or more Pokémon.

Data is transferred to Black 2 or White 2 via Nintendo 3DS Link—Dream Radar transfers research data to the inserted Black 2 or White 2. Once the data is sent, the game must receive it via the Nintendo 3DS Link option in the [[Unova Link]]. New research data cannot be sent until the previous sent data has been received. Upon receiving the research data, Pokémon are automatically added to the current PC Box (or the next Box with free space) and items are automatically placed in the bag.

===Obtainable Pokémon===
Each Pokémon has its [[Hidden Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Rotom}}, which does not have a Hidden Ability at all. The level of Pokémon obtained from this game depends on the number of Badges obtained in the game they are transferred to, starting at level 5 when transferred to a game with no Badges and being level 40 when transferred to a game with 7-8 Badges. These Pokémon are all obtained in a {{ball|Dream}}, have the met location of "Pokémon Dream Radar", and are treated as having been caught by the player of the Black 2 or White 2 game. Notably the Legendary Pokémon can only be collected once during the player's current Dream Radar save file.

Talk:Chespin (Pokémon)

2013-04-06T15:33:44Z

GoldenCelebi: /* Name Origin */

It is so far the only Grass type Pokemon starter not based on a reptile. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 13:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:* Feel more comfortable saying, "based on a mammal" rather than "not based on a reptile" ({{p|Oshawott}} had it worded that way, though that might be different :/ ). Guess that classification between dinosaurs, birds, lizards thing mixes up what classifies as a "reptile" for me. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 23:03, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

== Category ==

[[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]] needs to be added to the starters' pages. I'd have done it myself, but the pages are protected --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 14:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC

==Name Origin ==

In the Name Origin section of the page Chespin is called "Chestpin" which I think is an error. I can't correct it because the page is protected. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 16:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I think his name may be based on a porcupine too. Chestnut and porcupine. It may even look like a porcupine. [[User:Milde|Milde]] ([[User talk:Milde|talk]]) 16:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

It could be based on Chestnut and Spin, which is related to Sonic the Hedgehog, since all of the other languages have something related to hedgehogs. No? [[User:Dragonace|Dragonace]] ([[User talk:Dragonace|talk]]) 20:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I think [[User:Milde|Milde]] was right, is a porcupine (Spanish "puercoeSPIN") like the Kanto legendary birds ends with a spanish word.
--[[User:EricZangano|EricZangano]] ([[User talk:EricZangano|talk]]) 06:21, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:I agree with that. Since hedgehogs and porcupines are quite similar it wouldn't be surprising if its name was based on Chestnut and Puercoespín (Spanish for 'Porcupine'), they've used Spanish words for English names before so it wouldn't be that weird that they do that in this case. [[User:KyseL|KyseL]] ([[User talk:KyseL|talk]]) 23:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

"Chespin" is also an anagram of the word "pinches." A rubbish anagram of it, but an anagram nonetheless. I'm aware that this particular nugget might currently be too banal even for an internet wiki, but if we ever find out it evolves into something called Chessnat, then hey - looks like I've got anagram corner covered. Especially since it does look a little bit like a chestnut. With a squirrel inside. Do all chestnuts have that? [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 02:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

* Japanese: From hedgehog and chestnut
* French: From hedgehog and chestnut
* German: From hedgehog and chestnut
* English: From chestnut and pin?
'''???''' --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 04:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:This is the main reason I think it might be an anagram! Usually I'd not say anything, given what a long shot that is, but there's got to be something clever going on with that name, it can't be from "pin," why would it be from "pin?" "Pinches" is the only other word I see in there. Pine, maybe, but chestnuts and pines are two different things. Although, maybe it's "Pin" as in "Porcupine?" With the E removed for consistency later in the evolution line. I don't know. I think Chespin's going to make a lot more sense when we see his brothers. [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 09:48, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I still think porcupine makes more sense than urchin. Isn't urchin a sea thing? --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 17:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

:I think they removed the "e" just for sound reasons. As other names are from hedgehog, the English one is from porcupine, but "Chestpine" wasn't good enough, so they removed the "e", since the sound is still the same. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

What about about chestnut and spine? That fits with the other languages' hedgehog theme. - ''signed comment from [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] ([[User talk:GoldenCelebi|pedia talk]] • [[Bulbanews:User talk:GoldenCelebi|news talk]] • [[a:User talk:GoldenCelebi|archives talk]])'' ''15:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)''

:Another name for hedgehog is urchin. It's got that "in" at the end. That's all I got. Edit: Apparently that infos already been added, oh well.[[User:Scarabola|Scarabola]] ([[User talk:Scarabola|talk]]) 15:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

:I think that porcupines and hedgehogs are similar enough to allow the English origin to fit the other languages just with chestnut + porcupine. However pin is fine too, since it has something to do with porcupines and hedgehogs. --[[User:Tano|Tano]] ([[User talk:Tano|talk]]) 16:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I think that Chespin's English name may be partially based on French like the Japanese name. A lot of French words end with 'in' (fin, butin, déclin, jardin, coussin, escarpin and hundreds more). Also, the French word for rabbit is 'la'''pin'''' while one possible name for a male rabbit (and hare) is 'bouqu'''in'''' Chespin certainly appears to be based off rodents, which hedgehogs, contrary to rabbits and porcupines, are not. I've also heard rumors that Chespin's evolution is called 'Chespinne' which would be the natural French feminine form of 'Chespin', like a female rabbit is 'lapine' and a female lion is 'lionne' (the male form being 'lion'). There's just something about Chespin's name that seems to have a French air to it, and it would be easily pronounceable in French though the pronunciation would differ greatly from the English one. And the fact that Fennekin also has that very French-y suffix 'in' seems to confirm the speculation that the new region draws inspiration from France, at least partially.
Maybe it should be added in the article that the French word 'marron' does not only mean 'chestnut' but also 'brown', the name including all shades of brown and not a particular shade like the English word 'maroon'. This could be a possible double entendre as Chespin is both brown and based on a chestnut.
Though this may be reaching too far out, the primary meaning of 'urchin' in English is 'a young boy who is poorly or raggedly dressed' or 'a street boy' which would translate into 'gallo'''pin'''' in French, according to google translate. 'Gallopin' is a slight pejorativ for a young, playful (street) boy like the English 'lout' or 'guttersnipe'. Another French word for the same concept is 'gam'''in'''. In my opinion, Chespin could in fact look a little like a playful and teasing male pokémon. Though there's likely no truth in this, Game Freak could have intended to play with the idea of the name that mischievous young boys share with hedgehogs: urchin. And Chespin could be the embodiment of this. {{unsigned|Fredhigh}}

==Gender ratio==
Are we sure that's the gender ratio? We're not assuming it has {{a|Overgrow}}... --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Numbering ==

Following numbering tradition, can we assume that for now it's 650? --[[User:M.vit|M.vit]] ([[User talk:M.vit|talk]]) 23:08, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:No, because Snivy isn't 494, Victini is. We can't make any assumptions. --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] ([[User talk:Purimpopoie|talk]]) 23:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Plus for all we know they might change up the order. Doubt it but who knows until they actually reveal officially. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 00:43, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:::I agree. They might change the Pokedex numbering, like they did with Black and White route numbering. I think we should just play it safe, and wait until they officially announce it. [[User:PokemonSeaandSky]]

== Pokédex ==

Under Regional Pokédex numbers, why does it say Not in any regional Pokédex instead of unknown Pokédex since it has to be in a Pokédex and it is too early to put that it was not in one? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Design Origin ==

Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a chestnut and possibly a porcupine or hedgehog?
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:30, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

::You're right, we know that dinosaurs are more similar to birds than to reptiles (they're not birds however), but if I remember correctly, in 90's that was still unclear. Well, Chespin is absolutely the first mammal-based Grass starter, unless it doesn't change in one of it's evolutions. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::* I have to correct myself and NateVirus here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur -> "Rather, they represent a separate group of '''reptiles''' with a distinct upright posture". So dinosaurs are indeed reptiles, and so Bulbasaur and Chikorita are based on reptiles. Birds evolved from theropoda, a group of dinosaurs (still reptiles). I also asked a biologist friend of mine and he confirmed, making it sound pretty obvious. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::: So, yes, every single Grass-type starter was based on reptiles, as Bulbasaur is a Dicynodontia (a taxon of anomodont therapsids or mammal-like reptiles), and Chikorita (or rather Meganium) is a Brontosaurus, and both are reptiles. The others are a gecko, a turtle and a snake. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::::It's enough to simply say it's the first based on a mammal, rather than the first non-reptile. Like how Piplup is noted to be the first bird Water starter, and Oshawott the first mammal Water starter. It's a little redundant to note that Chespin is both the first mammal and the first non-reptile. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::They're both trivia of the same importance in my opinion. It's pointed out that before Chespin every other grass starter was based on a reptile. That's an information you can't grasp just by reading that Chespin is the first mammal. What are the others? birds and reptiles? No, ''they were all reptiles before Chespin, which is '''also''' the first mammal''. It simply gives more (correct) informations. --[[User:Tano|Tano]] ([[User talk:Tano|talk]]) 16:06, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
::::::*Still, it is probably simpler to stick with the "first mammal" bit. Plus, like Crystal Talian stated, {{p|Piplup}} was noted as the first water starter to be based on a bird, never any note of not being a reptile. Same with {{p|Oshawott}} who really was the second water starter to be not based on a reptile. Plus, saying Chespin is the first grass starter to be based off of a mammal isn't false, it is the first grass starter to be based on a mammal. Even if future Generations come out with other mammal-based Grass starters or even bird-based or just another reptile-based starter, Chespin is still the first one to be based off of a mammal. And on the note of sauropods and amphibians (the latter actually not being reptiles, which might bring up an unrelated question about {{p|Mudkip}}), the reason why I wasn't sure about the taxonomy is because of the different types of classifications and also because birds were once categorized as reptiles then somehow placed in their own class because of being warm-blooded (though I'm sure there is more to it than just than). Kinda confused me because dinosaurs are now considered warm-blooded and seem to have more in common with birds than reptiles in some groups, it is a number of "flip-flopping" in the sorting of these animals. And {{p|Bulbasaur}}, in some way drawing from its Japanese name, looks like a weird combination of different animals (not really sure what it is sometimes), with its pointed ears and its "frog-like" posture (well not always, I remember), I only thought it was a dinosaur because of its English name and that is a little deceiving (like {{p|Psyduck}} or {{p|Golduck}}). But I digress, let's just stick with the "first mammal" bit, it isn't going to hurt anybody.

:The answer/reasoning is at the top of the talk page.

== Possible addition to name origin... ==

Espinas is the spanish word for "thorns" and could be part of the name origin for Chespin.

Also, another possibility, though a more unlikely one, is that the "che" from chespin also comes from Chevalier, the French word for knight. However, I wouldn't put it on there unless it's confirmed that he is based off of a knight. [[User:Pacack|Pacack]] ([[User talk:Pacack|talk]]) 23:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I see that "Unknown" has been used. In a situation such as this, I believe this is a valid compromise allowing the page to be created.

If Xerneas sprawled its front legs, it would look like an "x".

Wrote up a backbone for the Physiology section:
<<
Xerneas is a large deer-like Pokémon with majestic cream colored horns on the top of its head, adorned with 24 glowing crystal-like gems and branches of many different rainbow colors, from red to purple. The upper side of its body, from shoulders to head, is blue in coloration, while the lower part is black. Its chin and the sides of his head are blue, while the upper part is cream as the bigger horns, except for a small blue colored section just above the eyes. It has light blue eyes with X-shaped pupil, wich have a cream colored markings that curve up, connecting to the main horns. The nose has a darker shade of cream compared to the top of the head. In addition to those cream colored horns there 2 smaller blue horns to the side of the jaw and another pair of even smaller blue horns just above the eyes. Its limbs are slender and shaped like blades, surrounded by a cream colored stripe which goes from the outermost part of the blade itself to the knees. It has 3 colored dots on his back, yellow, red and purple, just before a short pointed tail.

It's suggested that the name comes from Frog and Croak. While this is possible, it would be strange for it to not reference water in some way. Another possible pair of words for it to come from is Frog and Soak. The "ie" could be just a diminutive, of course. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] ([[User talk:Aielyn|talk]]) 00:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Design Origin ==

Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a tree frog?

--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 02:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Froth (as in to bubble) could also be a possibility for the English name.
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Considering that the French name is partially derived from "mousse" and it would be odd to have a double animal name derivation rather than say an animal name and a water reference, I'll bet it really is "froth" + "croak" too

:::There has been no indication that Froakie is at all part ice type and I don't know why people come to this conclusion; its Japanese name doesn't even mention ice or cold of any kind. Until we see evolutions or possibly a moveset it is most likely not named after frost, sorry. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 18:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Frog + Croak + ie suffix. The end. [[User:Scarabola|Scarabola]] ([[User talk:Scarabola|talk]]) 15:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== Froakie's Possible Origins ==

Just posting this in the discussion in case people may have problems with this: Froakie's inspiration seems to be based upon a few factors, most notably its foam pouch is based upon various species of frogs whom create foam nests for their eggs to keep safe in. These foam nests are formed from the frog's behinds and, while creating them, eventually envelop the backs of the parent frogs, hence the backpack resemblance Froakie's foam pack has and why it is located upon its back. This seems to also match up with Froakie's japanese name, as it contains matsu which translates to bubble or foam. [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/050294/_47199014_frognest_5121.jpg Here]'s an example image of a frog and its foam nest. Unfortunately, I am not quite sure which exact species of foam nest making frogs Froakie may have been based on.

Now then, onto the origin of the white round dots upon its face. These dots, coupled with the foam pouch and white glove-like markings it has seems to indicate that Froakie's possible origin is that of the image of Japanese folklore thieves and robbers, an example drawing of said thief/robber design can be seen [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/050294/thief.jpg here]. The foam backpack of sorts upon Froakie resembles that of the thief's furoshiki, a japanese cloth bag seen on the image of said thief that they carry their loot in. The dots resemble the ends of another furoshiki tied upon the thief's nose, used as a mask of sorts to hide the thief's/robber's identities. The gloves are also simply a sort of thief/robber general stereotype as well. This seems to indicate that Froakie may posisbly end up as a dark type upon evoluton; this guessing of type, however, is just pure speculation on my part. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 00:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:I think he looks a bit more... professorial than that. The little blobs look more like glasses than a knot. They're not attached to anything, for a start. Plus, I don't think many thieves wear white. I reckon they're meant to resemble pince-nez. Big, white, flowing hair on the back, like a professor, or a composer, or a judge. Could be wrong, though! You might be entirely right - and it's a great spot of research either way, fun read! [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 10:04, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
::Actually the dots are "connected" to the pouch via the blue stripe upon its head which lead down its back. This I feel, for this specific Japanese robber image, is pretty fitting considering the openness of their furoshiki masks and perhaps the one stripe being the only connector may have simply been implemented just to emphasize this trait. Also, I wouldn't take color into origin consideration. Pokemon don't necessarily have to be matching the origin with color. Sometimes with specific references, like in delibird's case, correct colors are vital. However, most Pokemon are either colored in bright, odd colors or ones that match with it's typing: Froakie being blue not because of the thief origin but rather because of it's water typing, like how Heatmor is bright red like fire instead of normal anteater colors. Also, thank you for the compliment! I really enjoy analyzing things. So origins, or at least their speculations and research, are my specialty! - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 14:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Think its Japanese name might be a pun on "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/focus#Latin focus]", the Latin word for "fireplace", or its many descendants in Romance languages which mean "fire", such as the Italian "fuoco".

I think its also possible that the kin part is derived from Kitsune. Drop the Tsu and e and you got kin. It also might be from Kinetic as in Kinetic energy.

Another possibility is that Kin is from Kindred as in Kindred Spirit. We all know Foxes and Sprites go hand in hand in japan. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Kitsune may also be likely origin ==

Besides being based on a fennec fox in regards to its appearance, I also believe that Fennekin may also be based on a kitsune in mind.

== Phione ==

Phione is still not confirmed legendary or non-legendary. It should at least be put in a new section, something like "debatable". - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 
:As already stated above, Phione has been confirmed to be a legendary Pokémon by Pokémon.com--''[[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher]]-e-[[User_talk:Sher-e-Bengal|Bengal]]''- 12:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

==Should this by organised by generation instead of region?==
I say this because some of the pokemon listed, mainly the trios, are found in multiple regions. Also some of the Pokémon don't even come from the region they are listed in, for example Manaphy comes from Almia/Fiore not Sinnoh, Jirachi and Deoxys aren't found in Hoenn, and Mew isn't in Kanto. [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 11:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== Remove Phione, please ==

Take a look at Phione's talk page. It's confirmed to be not legendary. I'd do this myself, but the page is still protected for some strange reason. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 11:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
:All that page says is that the failish Pokémon.com released several contradicting answers. Just because the recent one was a "no", does not mean it's the right one. It just means that it's their most recent brainfart. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 14:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
::They would not have put it into print, let alone in a guidebook that probably millions of people own by now, if they weren't certain of it. On a website, sure, as they can easily change their minds (as we've seen for ourselves!), but in print, that's a different story. Besides, their previous contradictory answers don't even exist anymore, as Pokemon.com no longer has a mailbag. Why, it's almost as if they're now sure that Phione is not a legendary to the extent that they didn't want people to realize that they once beleived the contrary to be true! Look, if you're really still unsure, why not just put Phione into a special "debatable" column or something? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 14:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

:::Uh, by that token, we'd have to move [[Allegra]] back to "Maki", [[Maury]] back to "Katsumi", and [[Kai (movie)]] to "Dai (movie)" (just plain "[[Dai]]" is now a disambig) on the sole basis that the charac::ters in question no longer have English names because the source that revealed them is no longer around. If that were to happen, we'd also have to put down that the dub did not give [[Moose]] a dub name because the source that distinctly said he kept his Japanese name is no longer around. Just because the Mailbag is no longer around doesn't mean whatever stuff it revealed is no longer relevant. As far as I'm concerned, you're just strapping more {{wp|C4 (explosive)|C4}} to {{wp|Pandora's Box}}, and by unhiding what you did, you're more than likely to have started the very edit war you were seeking to prevent. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:11, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
::::There's a big freakin' difference. There's no recent official source overriding what the mailbag said about the movie characters' names. There IS an official source, in print, made by the same company, no less, overriding what the mailbag said about Phione's legendary status, however. And I am not trying to cause any trouble like this. I am, like any good Bulbapedia contributor, attempting to change certain aspects of a certain article to reflect the facts presented to us by an official source. In other words, I am trying to improve the pedia's accuracy and quality. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

:::::Still doesn't change the fact that you don't represent the consensus. For all we know, that book could be full of snafus like the book some people used to try to convince us that {{p|Rotom}} is a legendary--''against'' a Mailbag-based consensus, for the record.

Take a look at [[Talk:Celebi (Pokémon)]]. Phione has finally been confirmed beyond all doubt to not be legendary.

::But we have confirmed that it is not legendary. It's not just someone randomly deciding that it's not, it is fact. We have one dead source telling us that it is legendary, and two live ones, one in a game and one in a guide, telling us that it is not.

== New outline - Discussions ==

We need to reach a consensus over what we will use to update the template, it's been '''months''' without a decision being made in this matter. Opinions go in their respective sub headers.

===Vertical===
*I support this one, because it's the outline that the new templates are following, and we should focus on steadiness, not to mention it's the best looking one. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 15:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
* I prefer this one too. The alternate vertical is stretching horizontally too much. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 21:00, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
* I prefer this one. It also follows the same style as {{template|NPC}}. The horizonal is just plain ugly, and the alternate vertical is too wide and looks really disbalanced when you compare Kanto to Unova. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
* Oh there ain't no other way, vertical all the way, it's on the center track baby, it was born this way yeah. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''P S Y''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 06:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
* My vote goes to the vertical one. The others stretch out too much. --[[User:Carmenstar97|Carmen]] ''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|(Talk |]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|contribs)]]'' 19:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

===Alternate vertical===
* I personally think this one looks the best. I'm not too bothered, just as long as it's not that ugly horizontal one... '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 15:44, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
*I prefer this style, only because I think long templates look better than tall ones (long templates clutter the bottom of pages less compared to tall ones), and the horizontal is, as stated, kinda ugly. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 15:49, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
* This one uses less pagespace and seems to have less whitespace than the above. The vertical template is terrible. Who the heck designed it? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
* I like this one the best, but I think that it could use the menu sprites next to the name of the Pokemon, just to make it look a little better? [[User:Jakeul200493|Jakeul200493]] 13:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

===Horizontal===

===Other comments===
What I don't like is that they all are sorted by region, which is not really accurate. [[Legendary Pokémon]] appear in multiple regions, and should really be sorted by generation. This wouldn't change where the Pokémon are on the list, just the names of the groups. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
:Alternatively, we could list every legendary Pokémon in every region they could be obtained. It would be helpful, but potentially messy. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:17, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
::That is more like how {{template|legendarylocations}} used to be. If we were to do it that way, we would need "other" for Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], the [[creation trio]] at [[Sinjoh Ruins]], and Mew on [[Faraway Island]]; as well as "none" for Jirachi, Deoxys, Keldeo, Melloetta and Genesect. I think by generation is the cleanest and easiest option. If we were to list them by location, I would suggest either Template:Legendarylocations or on the page [[legendary Pokémon]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:24, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

== New Template, 2 Edit Requests, and Phione ==

Can we decide on a template? There's been no discussion since May. Also, the current template should ''not'' be hidden, seeing as how its still in use. And can someone remove the ''br clear="all"'' that appears at the end of the current template, I think that's what's making a space appear between this template and the Super Smash Bros template in the navigation template at the end of {{p|Deoxys}}'s page.

And what's Phione's current status{{tt|*|if (more likely when) it changes again during this convo, please let us know!}}? I think it should be added, but with a note like this: {{p|Phione}}{{tt|*|Disputed status}} {{unsigned|Vuvuzela2010}}

:Phione HAS to be in the template. The fact that it isn't normally obtainable in the games (you need a event Pokémon first) and many official sources consider a legendary is enough to warrant its placement in it. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
::The issue is that there are just as many official sources saying that it isn't. However, I think what Vuvu suggested is best. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Rotom ==
Okay, if Phione is here, then I think Rotom should be too, under the same disputed category. This is because it pretty much fits the bill for a legendary, only one in the game, can not breed. It also commonly gets mistaken for a legendary. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 22:00, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:First, {{p|Rotom}} [[Amorphous (egg group)|can breed]]. Second, commonly mistaken for a legendary is not the same as legendary, and Rotom is not legendary. Its base stats are far lower than those of any other {{tt|legendary|Phione excepted}} in all of its forms, and there aren't legends about it either. It's an [[List of in-game event Pokémon in Generation IV|in-game event]] Pokémon, like {{p|Snorlax}}. --[[User:Darth Zekrom|'''Darth''']] [[User talk:Darth Zekrom|'''Zekrom''']] 01:07, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
::There has never been any evidence that indicates that Rotom is legendary. Phione is referred to as both legendary and non-legendary by official sources, whereas the closest thing Rotom has is an error in the [[Pokémon Ultimate Handbook]] (which was corrected in the updated version). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

== Order ==

Why are all of the Pokemon in National Pokedex order except for the Sinnoh Legendaries? Shouldn't they be in order too? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 19:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
