==In the games==
===Appearance===
Professor Phorus is a young woman with fair complexion and brown eyes. Her hair is two-tone in turquoise and black, braided into an elaborate high {{wp|Bun (hairstyle)|bun}} with a {{wp|ponytail}} at the top of the bun and wisps of fringes framing her face. She has tiny eyebrows with fluorescent blue eyeshadow over her upper eyelids and drawn black lashes by the sides of her lower eyelids.

Her outfit consists of a high-collared {{wp|White coat|lab coat}} in a light shade of lavender gray, lined throughout with {{wp|LED strip light|strip lights}} that changes color. The coat features a decorative pattern of {{wp|Xiangyun (Auspicious clouds)|auspicious clouds}} in stylized swirling silver lines. Underneath her coat is a black tightly-fit inner garment. She sports a light gray pair of headphones with glowing circular lights by the backs of the speakers, a metallic gray pair of fingerless gloves strapped with a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped device, and a black-and-gray pair of {{wp|Platform shoe|platform heels}} with black ankle straps. The strip lights on her heels and the lights by her headphones change in color that matches to the ones on her coat.

She also wears an ID card with a lanyard around her neck.

===History===
Professor Phorus is a scientist who conducts research on Aeos energy. She is assisted by a researcher named [[Erbie]]. Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Metagross}}.

She introduces the player to Aeos Island and [[Unite Battle]]s along with a presentation of [[Remoat Stadium]]. But she defers most of the teaching to Erbie, who actually guides the player along in the tutorial battles. Phorus does appear in {{DL|Mer Stadium|Tutorial (Basics 2)}} at [[Mer Stadium]] to explain certain game elements, alongside Erbie.

Phorus shows up again after the player reaches Trainer level 3 to introduce the {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Beginner Challenge}}, an event for new players. When the player reaches Trainer level 6, Professor Phorus allows the player to use the Energy Rewards menu. There, she explains that the Aeos Research Institute has created a [[Energy Rewards|machine]] that turns [[Aeos energy]] from Unite Battles into energy rewards, a number of items selected at random that range from clothing to [[Holowear]] to various currencies to [[Boost Emblem]]s. She allows the player to use the machine at their leisure. Professor Phorus does not appear again after this point.

Professor Phorus debuted in [[HZ141]]<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/2059620641196884017</ref>.
==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon UNITE Manga - Come On Over to Aeos Island!]]===
Professor Phorus appeared in the first chapter ''[[COA1|Aeos Energy]]'', reminiscing about her youth with her {{p|Beldum}}, where she played with many of the [[wild Pokémon]] on [[Aeos Island]]. In specific, she recounted a time when she conducted a race for her Beldum and a wild {{p|Scorbunny}}. For some reason, the two Pokémon appeared to [[evolve]] as they ran. This encounter inspired Phorus to do research and ultimately discover Aeos energy. In the present, she and [[Erbie]] explained the power of Aeos energy to an audience at a [[Unite Battle Committee]] event. She was joined by {{p|Metagross}}, who evolved during the intervening years from her Beldum. Together, the two humans explained the creation and purpose of Unite Battles and hinted at plans for further events. Unite Battles were open for business after this point.

In the second chapter, ''[[COA2|Zirco's Holowear]]'', Professor Phrous does not appear in person. However, Erbie attempted to convince [[Zirco]] to wait for him to get Professor Phorus's approval on adding [[Holowear]] to Unite Battles before selling any. Zirco ignored this and sold pre-orders for his holographic cosmetics.

Phorus reappeared in the fourth chapter, ''[[COA4|In Search of an Aeos Energy Spot]]''. She and Erbie were searching for a new [[Aeos energy|Aeos energy spot]] in a mountainous area alongside their partners Metagross and {{p|Elekid}}. Phorus kept an eye on the [[Aeos energy]] readings using a tablet, and made part of the climb on the back of her Metagross.

The two researchers came across a foggy area, but Erbie's {{p|Rufflet}} used {{m|Defog}} to clear the air. They found hidden ruins and high Aeos energy readings, indicating that the ruins were atop the Aeos energy spot. Phorus declared the area the future location of the [[Theia Sky Ruins]] stadium.

Phorus considers herself to be better at research than at logistics, deferring those tasks to Erbie.

==Blurb==

The Millennium Comet is about to make its long-awaited appearance in the sky again, supposedly granting the wishes of all those who see it in the skies above them. Of course, Ash and friends are equally interested in the Millennium Festival, especially when they attend a magic performance by the Great Butler. Even more interesting is the mysterious cocoon in Butler’s possession—from which Max hears a mysterious voice calling! When Jirachi emerges from its slumber, Max has a new friend—sadly, it’s only for the brief few days that the Millennium Comet appears in the sky.

Max is anxious to make the most of his time with his new friend, but the Great Butler has his own plans for Jirachi, which are not so friendly. He wants to revive the Legendary Groudon, and Jirachi just might be able to grant that wish.

Can Max, Ash, May, and Brock stop Butler and save Jirachi before Groudon reappears to reign destruction over the land?

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

During the night, {{AP|Pikachu}}, shortly followed by Ash, is awakened by the sound of trucks in the distance. Soon, the entire gang has been stirred from their sleep by the sudden commotion and goes to investigate. The group watches in excitement as an amusement park is constructed by a crew of workers right before their very eyes. Suddenly, in an open area, two vehicles appear. A purple-haired man exits one of the vehicles carrying a trunk, which he sets on the ground before producing a wand. He taps the trunk with the wand, and it opens and starts releasing pink balloons, which he hits away with the wand, sending the balloons bouncing. A woman appears with two fans in her hands and swats the balloons in the opposite direction. The balloons form a circle and pop, each seemingly containing a wooden stand within. As if by magic, a huge tent slowly starts to take shape, leaving the group staring in amazement. Soon, the festival begins.

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

Soon, the gang is watching the show, and it's turning out to be even better than expected. After creating a flock of {{p|Swablu}} out of thin air, [[Butler]], the purple-haired magician, puts his white hat on an empty table and taps it with his wand before lifting it up to reveal a {{p|Kirlia}} underneath. A {{p|Mightyena}} comes and takes the hat from Butler as he prepares for another trick. Butler seals Kirlia in a box, puts a red cloth over it, and sets it ablaze. From the smoke appears [[Diane]], Butler's assistant, carrying a crystal. Brock enthusiastically applauds the trick. Glowing rays come out of the crystal, and Max suddenly hears a voice. The voice tells him that it is sealed inside the crystal. Max rushes to the stage, followed by Ash. Max tells Butler that he heard a voice from the crystal. Butler claims their arrival was in impeccable timing for his next trick, the Burning Box. [[Jessie]] and [[James]], still disguised as clowns, roll out the box and put Ash and Max in it, while Butler summons {{p|Dusclops}}. Butler tells the audience that Ash, Max, and Pikachu are fellow magicians and will escape the box in ten seconds before his Dusclops destroys it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Butler begins to countdown from ten, and the entire audience is on tenterhooks, especially May and Brock. Finishing the countdown, Butler orders Dusclops to use Hyper Beam. Dusclops fires at the box, but before it hits, Ash and Max fall through the floor and are transported by a machine underneath the stage back to the entrance of the dome. Butler asks the crowd to give a round of applause to Ash and Max as spotlights are placed on the two. Ash laps up the applause, while Max isn't sure what to do. May wonders if Ash and Max will tell her how they did the trick, while all Brock is hoping for is that he gets introduced to Diane.

Ash is still waving to the crowd when Team Rocket, suspended from a balloon, grabs Pikachu off his back and puts him in an electricity-proof container while also removing their disguises. Ash demands Pikachu back, but Team Rocket claim they’ve prepared a trick of their own: they're going to make Pikachu and all the other Pokémon disappear, as Kirlia and Mightyena are shown captured in a net having also been nabbed. {{MTR}}, having been waiting on the side, opens the roof and then joins his teammates as they make their getaway. Ash goes to send out one of his Pokémon; however, Butler stops him as he has one more trick up his sleeve. He orders Dusclops to use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which sends Pikachu flying back to Ash, who decides to do an encore by having Pikachu fire a trusty {{m|Thunderbolt}}, giving the trio quite the shock and releasing Butler's Pokémon. Butler has Dusclops finish things off with {{m|Night Shade}}, which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. The audience applauds loudly, and May notes that the audience thinks Team Rocket were part of the act. Max is relieved everything worked out but is still curious about Butler's crystal.

After the show, Max asks Butler and Diane about the crystal, and they respond by saying the crystal contains a Pokémon named {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}. Butler tells everyone that Jirachi only awakens once every 1000 years, and is sleeping inside the crystal, which acts like a cocoon. To wake up Jirachi, the crystal needs two things; the Millennium Comet to be visible in the night sky and a best friend chosen by destiny. Max happens to be the chosen one, so Butler gives him the crystal. As the comet is due to appear in the sky that night it seems Max's new friend will awaken soon.

[[File:May wishmaker.png|thumb|250px|May's wishmaker]]
At twilight, May buys a {{i|wishmaker}}, a sacred item that can grant one wish when its panels are closed while facing the comet. The stallholder, [[Bogie]], tells May that she has to close a flap on the wishmaker every night the comet is in the sky to make her wish come true. Soon, fireworks are going off to celebrate the arrival of the comet, with many of the fireworks taking the form of Pokémon. Afterward, the fair closes down for the night.

Ash, May, and Brock talk about how the world can change in a thousand years as the clouds begin to part, revealing the Millennium Comet glowing magnificently in the night sky. Soon Max is asleep with the crystal in his arms. May starts singing her mother's lullaby. As Max sleeps, the crystal starts to glow, waking him up. A voice once again emanates from the crystal, this time with the entire group hearing it. Close by, another creature has sensed Jirachi's reawakening. It is {{p|Absol}}, the Disaster Pokémon. It takes off towards the festival, heading for Jirachi. The crystal floats into the air, a mysterious light surrounds it, and Jirachi appears. Everyone introduces themselves to a newly awakened Jirachi. Diane comes running over to the group, and Max tells her that the prophecy was true. Diane says that she’ll go tell Butler and welcomes the group to camp out in their bus for the night. Inside, Max asks Jirachi if it really can grant wishes and wishes for candy. At first, nothing appears to have happened, so everyone believes that Jirachi can't actually grant wishes. Then Ash points out a bag of potato chips on Max's lap. More and more snacks start to appear, filling the whole bus until the quantity becomes so great that it causes the back doors of the bus to burst open. Diane and Butler rush over to see what has happened. Max tells them he wished for candy, and Jirachi granted his wish. Diane picks up some cheese puffs, looks at them, and says they’re the same from the snack bar whose merchandise has vanished. Butler explains that Jirachi didn't create the treats; it teleported them away. May gets irate and blames Max for this. Ashamed, he asks what he and Jirachi should do. Brock suggests teleporting the food back to the store. If Jirachi was able to get the candies from the store, it should also be able to teleport them back there. May yells at Jirachi to "get rid of the problem." Jirachi complies, but from its point of view, "the problem" to get rid of is May, not the snacks. As such, it teleports May into the stockpile of snacks before proceeding to fall asleep, leaving the others to take the candies back to the store themselves.

===Day Two of the Millennium Comet===
The sun rises on a brand new day as Max eagerly waits for Jirachi to wake up, which it soon does, and in no time is happily flying around Butler's van. With Team Rocket having left Butler's employment, Ash and Brock are now his new clowns. Max goes to the amusement park with Jirachi, and the two have fun together the whole day. At twilight, Absol is seen running up a cliff overlooking the park. May is then shown wheeling a lighting rig to another part of the circus, but it hits a piece of wood and starts to fall. She asks for Max's help; however, Jirachi is far more interested in playing than helping and steals Max's glasses and starts a game of chase, resulting in both May and the lighting rig taking a tumble. After Max catches Jirachi, he hears an eerie sound coming from a mirror. The mirror breaks, revealing Absol.
[[File:Absol M06.png|thumb|left|250px|Absol appearing before the group]]
Butler recognizes Absol, a Pokémon that is known to appear just before a disaster. Absol runs after Max and Jirachi. May, seeing her brother in danger, summons {{TP|May|Torchic}} and orders an {{m|Ember}}, but the attack is far too weak, and Absol just shakes it off. Ash sends in Pikachu, telling him to use Thunderbolt, which succeeds in hurting Absol, sending it flying back, but also making it even angrier. Jirachi tells Max that Absol is here for it and then teleports Pikachu and Torchic away. The two reappear outside, just above the tent, and fall, landing softly on its roof. Now nothing is protecting Max and Jirachi; however, Absol changes targets and starts to rush towards the rest of the gang when Butler opens a booby trap that it falls into. Absol, now trapped in a cage, is raised back up to the stage and put to sleep with a {{m|Hypnosis}} from Butler's Kirlia. Max tries to question Jirachi about Absol, but the ordeal has left it exhausted, and it falls asleep.

At night, May sits on a rock while everybody else is sleeping and folds the second panel of her wishmaker. She notices Butler heading back towards the tent with something in his hands. It is revealed to be Jirachi, whom Butler sets down on a machine. Diane tries to talk Butler out of what he is about to do, but he brushes her concerns off, claiming he knows what he’s doing. Butler presses a button, activating the machine, which releases some sort of energy wave that suppresses Jirachi's movements. Butler reveals his intentions to use Jirachi's "true eye" to create {{p|Groudon}} and get his revenge on [[Team Magma]], who had once fired him and made a mockery of his work when his invention failed to create the Continent Pokémon before the Team Magma Council, ignoring his pleas that he just needed a stronger energy source to complete the process. Now having the energy source he desired at his fingertips, he instructs Jirachi to open its true eye and absorb the Millennium Comet's power. Jirachi refuses to do so; however, Butler informs it that it doesn't have a choice and orders his Dusclops to use {{m|Psychic}} to force the matter. Jirachi writhers in pain as Absol, still trapped in the cage, tries fruitlessly to escape and come to its aid. Back at the bus, May wakes Ash and the others up to inform them that Jirachi is gone, which causes Max to frantically start looking for his friend. Still being tortured by Dusclops, Jirachi's eye is finally forced open and fires a beam up towards the comet, which is spotted by the gang. The comet reflects the beam back towards Jirachi, obliterating Butler's machine in the process and leaving Jirachi severely injured on the ground. Ash and his friends are horrified, and Max rushes to Jirachi's side. Butler marvels at the power that was just on display, as Max angrily demands to know what he'd done to Jirachi. Butler assures Max that he'll take care of it, but Max refuses to hand Jirachi over to him. Diane makes another attempt to reason with Butler to stop what he's doing. He insists that what he is doing is for her; however, Diane rejects this, leaving him stunned. He then spots Max attempting to run away with Jirachi and orders Dusclops to stop him, but Pikachu intervenes. Jirachi tells Max its wish to return home to [[Forina]]. Before Max can inquire more, May grabs him by the arm, and the siblings make their escape with Jirachi and the others, including Diane. Breaking free of its cage, Absol fires an attack at Butler and Dusclops to prevent them from halting the get-away. As the group drives away in the bus, Butler sends out Mightyena in pursuit, who manages to stick a tracker under the bus. Inside the bus, Diane explains to the gang Butler's backstory, plan, and what factor Jirachi plays in all of it. Everyone decides that taking Jirachi back to Forina is the best solution, as they drive off into the night. Meanwhile, Butler tracks their movements and prepares to pursue them, ejecting an aircraft-like device from his van.

===Day Three of the Millennium Comet===
The bus traverses over some bumpy terrain, which causes Ash to fall out of his seat, much to the amusement of May, Max and Jirachi. Outside, the rattling of the bus causes Butler's tracker to detach from the vehicle's underside. When night falls, May closes the third panel of her wishmaker, while Brock is busy cooking a meal for everybody. May joins Diane inside the bus, where the latter begins to discuss her history with Butler. The pair were childhood friends, where Butler would often perform magic shows for Diane. Diane says that it's been a long time since she's seen Butler laugh the way he used to. She hopes that once the comet leaves, the real Butler will return and they can move on with their lives. Back outside, Absol watches over Jirachi from afar.

===Day Four of the Millennium Comet===
The day is spent continuing the drive to Forina. Along the way, the bus gets stuck in the mud, so Ash and the others help to push it out. Afterwards, everyone is covered in mud, and they all laugh. At night, May folds the fourth panel of her wishmaker, while Ash and Max have fun skipping stones on the lake.

===Day Five of the Millennium Comet===
Once again, the day is spent mostly driving. Jirachi is enjoying the view from inside the bus when it notices that Max seems sad. That night, May folds the fifth panel of her wishmaker. Suddenly, Max appears and snaps at her for doing so, as it is a reminder that he has only two days left with Jirachi. He runs off in distress, and Ash follows to talk to him. Ash assures Max that really good friends never truly leave, telling him that he recently separated from {{an|Misty|one of his best friends}}, and although he misses her a lot, he knows that she's still with him in spirit. Max cheers up, knowing that he and Jirachi will remain friends forever, even when separated.

===Day Six of the Millennium Comet===
The group finally arrives at Forina, Jirachi's homeland. The area is occupied by various other Pokémon, such as {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Tropius}}, {{p|Vibrava}}, and {{p|Nuzleaf}}. Jirachi asks if the others like its home, and they assure it that they do. As the night casts itself over Forina, May folds the sixth panel of her wishmaker while Max and Jirachi partake in a game of tug-of-war. May tells Max that it's time for him to go to sleep, as tomorrow is a big day. Max whines to his sister that he wants to stay up and play with Jirachi, reasoning that he probably won't be able to sleep anyway with tomorrow being his last day with Jirachi. Ultimately, he gives in and lays down with Jirachi, but the pair secretly plot to wait for everyone else to fall asleep so that they can continue to play together. Their plan fails, however, as the two are lulled to sleep by May's lullaby.

===Day Seven of the Millennium Comet===
The group is walking along a trail when they come across Absol standing in their path. Absol urges them to follow it as it leads them to a cave—the same cave Jirachi had previously laid in slumber for 1000 years. They reach a skylight in the cave, where there is a perfect view of the comet. An entranced Jirachi starts to float towards it but is grabbed by Max, who embraces it and cries that he doesn't want Jirachi to go. Jirachi tells Max that it must leave and once again heads towards the skylight. Jirachi prepares to open its true eye and absorb the energy from the comet when all of a sudden spikes burst out of the wall, firing purple energy beams at and capturing Jirachi. Having been waiting for the gang, Butler appears ready to perform his final trick—bringing Groudon to life. Just like before, Butler sets Jirachi into his machine and activates it. Jirachi's true eye fires an energy beam towards the comet, which reflects it back down towards Jirachi. This time, the machine is able to withstand the power, absorbing it and firing it back out through a set of three spikes that appear from the bottom of Butler's platform. The energy fired from those spikes begins etching a Groudon pattern into the ground. Ash and the others, who've been trapped by the same purple energy beams that captured Jirachi, try to use Pikachu's Thunderbolt to break out, but to no success. Absol and a wild {{p|Flygon}} rush onto the scene and destroy the spikes firing the purple beams, freeing everyone. Wasting no time, Ash and Max hop on the back of Flygon and fly off to save Jirachi. In an effort to foil their rescue attempt, Butler sends out {{p|Salamence}}, hops on its back, and gives chase to the pair. Ash devises a plan to have Max and Pikachu rescue Jirachi, while he and Flygon keep Butler distracted. With Butler out of the way, Pikachu fires a Thunderbolt at the machine, short-circuiting it and freeing Jirachi, whom Max catches in his arms. Ash, Max, Pikachu, and Jirachi fly back and reunite with the others, where May embraces her brother, having been worried for his safety.

[[File:Brock and May in a bubble.png|thumb|250px|Brock and May trapped in Meta Groudon]]
Suddenly, the ground starts to rumble as a mass starts to arise from the area where the Groudon pattern had been etched using the energy Jirachi received from the comet. Butler watches on in satisfaction as the ground mass starts to form into what appears to be Groudon itself. To everyone's surprise, including Butler's, the being that forms is not a real Groudon, but rather a [[Meta Groudon|corrupted version]] of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Meta Groudon starts sucking energy from the earth, causing the surrounding nature of Forina to decay. Absol attacks the creature, hoping to put a stop to it, but it instead gets engulfed by slimy blue-green tentacles released from Meta Groudon's claws. Meta Groudon then releases a bunch of tentacles from the various spikes on its body and starts absorbing all the fleeing Pokémon in the area with them. Butler joins the others as they all watch in horror at the mayhem his creation is unleashing. Overhead, Team Rocket arrives just as Meta Groudon is chasing a flock of Altaria with the tentacles, and they get captured as well. A shot of Meta Groudon's stomach shows that Team Rocket, Absol, and all the Pokémon it has captured have been absorbed into its body. As more and more Pokémon get sucked up, Butler bemoans that this is not the Groudon he wanted and that this Groudon is nothing but pure evil. While in his state of disbelief, one of Meta Groudon's tentacles shoots out towards Butler; however, before it can grab him, Diane pushes him out of the way and gets absorbed by the beast instead. Butler is unable to grieve the loss as more tentacles fire towards him as well as Ash and his friends. As they run to get away, May and Brock get captured and consumed by Meta Groudon. Ash, Max, Pikachu, and Jirachi also get caught, but Jirachi is able to teleport them to safety. Angered, Meta Groudon continues to pursue them, but this time Butler, on his Salamence, comes to their aid and informs them that Meta Groudon is after Jirachi's energy. Flygon also comes to assist them, once again providing them with its flying abilities. While in flight, Butler relays to Ash and Max how he believes they can stop Meta Groudon, stating that putting Jirachi back in his machine and reversing the polarity should allow Jirachi to absorb all the creatures energy. Ash and Max are hesitant to trust him, but after some convincing from Jirachi they decide to give him a second chance. Ash and Max fly around with Jirachi to distract Meta Groudon, while Butler goes to work on resetting up his machine. In his haste, Butler accidentally drops the fossilized Groudon shard necessary for his machine, and it rolls off the platform; however, Ash flies by with Flygon to catch it just in the nick of time. With the shard recovered, Butler is able to finish the preparations for his machine. Jirachi places itself upon the machine, but before Butler can activate it, a rumbling of the platform sends Butler tumbling over the edge. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Ash pulls the switch and activates the machine himself. Right away, the effects of the machine start to anger Meta Groudon, and it launches a tentacle towards Jirachi; however, Butler shields it before it makes contact and gets absorbed instead. Still angry, Meta Groudon starts to pour a gooey substance from its body over the entire machine, but at that moment, Jirachi starts glowing. Meta Groudon slowly gets dragged by {{m|Doom Desire|a meteor of white light}} made by Jirachi toward the Millennium Comet and explodes in a firework fashion.

As drops of light rain down over Forina, all of the Pokémon and humans who'd been consumed by Meta Groudon begin to reappear. Jirachi, shining like a star, descends from the sky and approaches Ash and the reunited gang. After an embrace, Jirachi asks Max if he'll grant it one final wish: the lullaby. Everyone starts singing it as Jirachi returns to its crystal cocoon state and sinks into the earth. Everybody wishes Jirachi good night and sweet dreams, while an emotional Max tells Jirachi that it'll always be with him in his heart.

===The End of the Millennium Comet===
The next morning, Butler and Diane announce that they have decided to stay in Forina, having realized that the only important thing is that they are together. They offer the group a ride back to town. Brock reminds May of her wishmaker and in panic she takes it out only to see that, to her disappointment, she didn't fold the seventh flap. However, she says it doesn't matter after all, because we all have to make our own dreams come true anyway. Ash agrees, saying that by wishing for a dream to come true, one would lose the fun that comes with pursuing the dream. As the group leaves, Jirachi communicates to Max using telepathy, saying that they will always stay best friends forever.

==Trivia==
*This movie was released between [[AG034]] and [[AG035]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[AG036]], as Ash and his friends hadn't left [[Slateport City]] yet.
*The prologue for this movie shows some of the main {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] from the first five movies: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}, as well as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, {{p|Mew}}, the [[legendary birds]], and {{p|Suicune}} are absent.
* This is the first Pokémon movie:
**To go directly to home video for its American release.
**To not feature the season's theme song during the opening credits.
**In which a [[villainous team]] other than [[Team Rocket]] makes an appearance.
**To distribute Mythical Pokémon as event Pokémon rather than just feature them.
**To feature May, and Max as Ash’s traveling companions.
**Not to feature [[Misty]] as a part of Ash’s traveling group, however she is indirectly mentioned by Ash during the movie.
* The ending song, [[Make a Wish]], is the first time that the English dub left the Japanese ending theme in. It was also combined with English lyrics performed by Cindy Mizelle.
**May's singing voice is also retained in the dub.
* The clown outfits that Jessie, James, and Meowth wear in the movie are later reused in [[DP010]].
*This movie is referenced in Pokémon Colosseum by way of a Trainer named Rider Zalla who owns a Jirachi (the star), Flygon, Absol ([[wild Pokémon]] befriended during the movie), Kirlia, Mightyena, and a Dusclops (Pokémon belonging to [[Butler]]). She can be found as the 77th Trainer on Battle Mode's Single Battle on Mt. Battle.
** Also, in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, the two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s that appear on the southernmost part of {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} have their [[party|teams]] based on those of Butler and Diane. In fact, in the Japanese version, they have the same names as them, but the English translation team did not notice the relation to the movie characters.
*{{an|May}}'s [[rival]] [[Drew]] eventually obtains an {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Flygon}}, two of the main non-Legendary Pokémon of the movie.
*Throughout Tropius's appearances, instead of using its usual animated series voice, it uses the same "slurp" noise from when it was eating fruit.
*Even though {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} appear on the box cover, they never appear in the main story of the movie. In fact, out of all the main characters' Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Torchic}} were the only two to appear, with two exceptions outside of the main plot: the opening sequence when Treecko, Mudkip, and the main characters' other Pokémon appear while eating, and the ending beach scene. They do both, however, appear in fireworks in the movie.
*When traveling to Forina, an instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is played in the background and on the DVD main menu.
*This is the last Pokémon movie released to UK DVD until ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' years later.
*This is the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie in which a Generation IV Pokémon does not appear.
*This was the last movie that Tomiko Suzuki (Voice of Jirachi) lent her voice. Tomiko died of a heart attack a week and a half before the theatrical release.
*Although the main series switched its animation process to {{wp|Computer animation|digital animation}} by this point, this movie, along with [[M07|the]] [[M08|next]] [[M09|three]], were still made with {{wp|Traditional animation|inked-and-painted cels}}. This changed with the release of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in 2007, which was the first movie to be completely made with digital animation.
*While the previous two movies kept the original Japanese background music for the main feature, this is the first movie to keep the title sequence music in the English dub.
*This movie aired for the first time in Italy on March 16, 2012, almost 8 years after the American release. It has been the last ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movie to air, and so far it is the movie that aired with the longest gap.
*During the ending credits, several {{pkmn|constellation}}s appear. The constellations are used as the frame for various Pokémon alluding to their real-world counterparts' names and mythology:
** {{wp|Ursa Minor}} as {{p|Teddiursa}}.
**{{wp|Ursa Major}} as {{p|Ursaring}}.
** {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}} as {{p|Milotic}}.
**{{wp|Ophiuchus}} as a {{p|Machoke}} carrying a {{p|Seviper}}.
**{{wp|Scorpius}} as {{p|Gligar}}.
**{{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}} as {{p|Kyogre}}.
**{{wp|Virgo (constellation)|Virgo}} as {{p|Gardevoir}} holding a feather.
**The star marking {{p|Pikachu}}'s cheek is {{wp|Spica}}, otherwise known as α Virginis.
*There were unusual changes made in several dubs for this movie and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', leaving many fans intrigued by the reasons:
**In {{pmin|Latin America}}, both movies were dubbed in Argentina (the usual dubbing is located in Mexico), by an entirely different voice cast and were aired only in some local channels.
***The voice cast also changed completely in the {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} and {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dubs (in Finland, the same cast was also in the [[M05|fifth movie]]).
**In {{pmin|Spain}}, the two movies were not dubbed at all.
*Until ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' nearly a decade later, this was the last Pokémon movie to air [[PK12|a Pikachu short]] alongside the movie.
*The last Pokémon movie on VHS to use clamshell packaging.
*The last Pokémon movie by 4Kids to have [[Megan Hollingshead]] as a part of the cast.
*The last Pokémon movie to feature a dubbed Pikachu short in the United States, as the next movie would not feature a short.
*This is the last Pokémon movie to use a different CGI title sequence for the Japanese and dubbed versions, as well as the first movie where title sequence fanfare is the same in both versions.

===Errors ===
[[File:Movie 6 German DVD Error.jpg|200px|thumb|Original German cover art]]
* When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} start running to the cliff overlooking the festival, {{an|Brock}} has his guidebook in his right hand, but when they reach the cliff, it is in his left.
** Shortly after, it disappears.
*When {{an|May}} sits down with [[Max]] while he is sleeping with the crystal, Brock's sleeves are given an orange lining.
*{{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} uses {{m|Teleport}}, a move that it [[animated series move errors|cannot legally learn]].
*When Ash tells Flygon to watch out, {{p|Salamence}}'s lower jaw is colored blue instead of gray. This also happens after Ash tells Pikachu and Max to free Jirachi.
*In the English dub, during the magic show, [[Butler]] calls for his {{p|Dusclops}} to use an attack called "Capitata", while in the Japanese version, Butler says 'Onibi!' which is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}'s official Japanese name. It is unknown how the name "Capitata" got into the script or final product, but it seems that every dub used 'Capitata!' rather than Will-O-Wisp.
*The original German DVD cover [http://filb.de/542 used the art and logo] from ''Destiny Deoxys''. Although the art has been corrected, the logo is still used.

===Dub edits===
*In the beginning, Ash says the person who last comes up the hill is a {{p|Slowpoke}} (May calls Max a {{p|Slowbro}}). However, in most translations from English, the joke was eliminated, replacing "slow" to each language's response.
*In the English dub, when Ash is talking with Max, he talks about friendship and makes a reference to {{an|Misty}}, though not by name. In the original Japanese version, Ash says to Max that a thousand years for Jirachi and its comet could be just an instant and it wouldn't be the same traveling with him. He remarks that he's not able to explain the thing very clearly.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, Jirachi is referred to as female rather than male, even being voiced by a female.
*In the English dub, Japanese text is removed from the magic show posters.
*In the English dub, Team Rocket doesn't want Jirachi to teleport away before they make their wish. In the original Japanese version, they simply wish for promotions.
*In the English dub, Ash is the one who identifies Absol when it attacks. In the original Japanese version, Brock is the one who identifies Absol.
*In the English dub, after imprisoning Absol in a cage, Butler says that a good magician always has a trapdoor standing by. In the Japanese version, he states "Let's make this an impromptu show, shall we?".
*In the English dub, when May wonders if Absol and Jirachi know each other, Brock says it is unlikely, since Jirachi has been asleep for 1,000 years. In the original Japanese version, Brock instead wonders if this is the reason Jirachi teleported Pikachu and Torchic away.
*In the English dub, [[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'s voice for Salamence is completely removed, and it instead makes generic dinosaur noises by Frank Welker.

==Blurb==

The Millennium Comet is about to make its long-awaited appearance in the sky again, supposedly granting the wishes of all those who see it in the skies above them. Of course, Ash and friends are equally interested in the Millennium Festival, especially when they attend a magic performance by the Great Butler. Even more interesting is the mysterious cocoon in Butler’s possession—from which Max hears a mysterious voice calling! When Jirachi emerges from its slumber, Max has a new friend—sadly, it’s only for the brief few days that the Millennium Comet appears in the sky.

Max is anxious to make the most of his time with his new friend, but the Great Butler has his own plans for Jirachi, which are not so friendly. He wants to revive the Legendary Groudon, and Jirachi just might be able to grant that wish.

Can Max, Ash, May, and Brock stop Butler and save Jirachi before Groudon reappears to reign destruction over the land?

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

During the night, {{AP|Pikachu}}, shortly followed by Ash, is awakened by the sound of trucks in the distance. Soon, the entire gang has been stirred from their sleep by the sudden commotion and goes to investigate. The group watches in excitement as an amusement park is constructed by a crew of workers right before their very eyes. Suddenly, in an open area, two vehicles appear. A purple-haired man exits one of the vehicles carrying a trunk, which he sets on the ground before producing a wand. He taps the trunk with the wand, and it opens and starts releasing pink balloons, which he hits away with the wand, sending the balloons bouncing. A woman appears with two fans in her hands and swats the balloons in the opposite direction. The balloons form a circle and pop, each seemingly containing a wooden stand within. As if by magic, a huge tent slowly starts to take shape, leaving the group staring in amazement. Soon, the festival begins.

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

Soon, the gang is watching the show, and it's turning out to be even better than expected. After creating a flock of {{p|Swablu}} out of thin air, [[Butler]], the purple-haired magician, puts his white hat on an empty table and taps it with his wand before lifting it up to reveal a {{p|Kirlia}} underneath. A {{p|Mightyena}} comes and takes the hat from Butler as he prepares for another trick. Butler seals Kirlia in a box, puts a red cloth over it, and sets it ablaze. From the smoke appears [[Diane]], Butler's assistant, carrying a crystal. Brock enthusiastically applauds the trick. Glowing rays come out of the crystal, and Max suddenly hears a voice. The voice tells him that it is sealed inside the crystal. Max rushes to the stage, followed by Ash. Max tells Butler that he heard a voice from the crystal. Butler claims their arrival was in impeccable timing for his next trick, the Burning Box. [[Jessie]] and [[James]], still disguised as clowns, roll out the box and put Ash and Max in it, while Butler summons {{p|Dusclops}}. Butler tells the audience that Ash, Max, and Pikachu are fellow magicians and will escape the box in ten seconds before his Dusclops destroys it with {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Butler begins to countdown from ten, and the entire audience is on tenterhooks, especially May and Brock. Finishing the countdown, Butler orders Dusclops to use Hyper Beam. Dusclops fires at the box, but before it hits, Ash and Max fall through the floor and are transported by a machine underneath the stage back to the entrance of the dome. Butler asks the crowd to give a round of applause to Ash and Max as spotlights are placed on the two. Ash laps up the applause, while Max isn't sure what to do. May wonders if Ash and Max will tell her how they did the trick, while all Brock is hoping for is that he gets introduced to Diane.

Ash is still waving to the crowd when Team Rocket, suspended from a balloon, grabs Pikachu off his back and puts him in an electricity-proof container while also removing their disguises. Ash demands Pikachu back, but Team Rocket claim they’ve prepared a trick of their own: they're going to make Pikachu and all the other Pokémon disappear, as Kirlia and Mightyena are shown captured in a net having also been nabbed. {{MTR}}, having been waiting on the side, opens the roof and then joins his teammates as they make their getaway. Ash goes to send out one of his Pokémon; however, Butler stops him as he has one more trick up his sleeve. He orders Dusclops to use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which sends Pikachu flying back to Ash, who decides to do an encore by having Pikachu fire a trusty {{m|Thunderbolt}}, giving the trio quite the shock and releasing Butler's Pokémon. Butler has Dusclops finish things off with {{m|Night Shade}}, which sends Team Rocket blasting off again. The audience applauds loudly, and May notes that the audience thinks Team Rocket were part of the act. Max is relieved everything worked out but is still curious about Butler's crystal.

After the show, Max asks Butler and Diane about the crystal, and they respond by saying the crystal contains a Pokémon named {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}. Butler tells everyone that Jirachi only awakens once every 1000 years, and is sleeping inside the crystal, which acts like a cocoon. To wake up Jirachi, the crystal needs two things; the Millennium Comet to be visible in the night sky and a best friend chosen by destiny. Max happens to be the chosen one, so Butler gives him the crystal. As the comet is due to appear in the sky that night it seems Max's new friend will awaken soon.

[[File:May wishmaker.png|thumb|250px|May's wishmaker]]
At twilight, May buys a {{i|wishmaker}}, a sacred item that can grant one wish when its panels are closed while facing the comet. The stallholder, [[Bogie]], tells May that she has to close a flap on the wishmaker every night the comet is in the sky to make her wish come true. Soon, fireworks are going off to celebrate the arrival of the comet, with many of the fireworks taking the form of Pokémon. Afterward, the fair closes down for the night.

Ash, May, and Brock talk about how the world can change in a thousand years as the clouds begin to part, revealing the Millennium Comet glowing magnificently in the night sky. Soon Max is asleep with the crystal in his arms. May starts singing her mother's lullaby. As Max sleeps, the crystal starts to glow, waking him up. A voice once again emanates from the crystal, this time with the entire group hearing it. Close by, another creature has sensed Jirachi's reawakening. It is {{p|Absol}}, the Disaster Pokémon. It takes off towards the festival, heading for Jirachi. The crystal floats into the air, a mysterious light surrounds it, and Jirachi appears. Everyone introduces themselves to a newly awakened Jirachi. Diane comes running over to the group, and Max tells her that the prophecy was true. Diane says that she’ll go tell Butler and welcomes the group to camp out in their bus for the night. Inside, Max asks Jirachi if it really can grant wishes and wishes for candy. At first, nothing appears to have happened, so everyone believes that Jirachi can't actually grant wishes. Then Ash points out a bag of potato chips on Max's lap. More and more snacks start to appear, filling the whole bus until the quantity becomes so great that it causes the back doors of the bus to burst open. Diane and Butler rush over to see what has happened. Max tells them he wished for candy, and Jirachi granted his wish. Diane picks up some cheese puffs, looks at them, and says they’re the same from the snack bar whose merchandise has vanished. Butler explains that Jirachi didn't create the treats; it teleported them away. May gets irate and blames Max for this. Ashamed, he asks what he and Jirachi should do. Brock suggests teleporting the food back to the store. If Jirachi was able to get the candies from the store, it should also be able to teleport them back there. May yells at Jirachi to "get rid of the problem." Jirachi complies, but from its point of view, "the problem" to get rid of is May, not the snacks. As such, it teleports May into the stockpile of snacks before proceeding to fall asleep, leaving the others to take the candies back to the store themselves.

===Day Two of the Millennium Comet===
The sun rises on a brand new day as Max eagerly waits for Jirachi to wake up, which it soon does, and in no time is happily flying around Butler's van. With Team Rocket having left Butler's employment, Ash and Brock are now his new clowns. Max goes to the amusement park with Jirachi, and the two have fun together the whole day. At twilight, Absol is seen running up a cliff overlooking the park. May is then shown wheeling a lighting rig to another part of the circus, but it hits a piece of wood and starts to fall. She asks for Max's help; however, Jirachi is far more interested in playing than helping and steals Max's glasses and starts a game of chase, resulting in both May and the lighting rig taking a tumble. After Max catches Jirachi, he hears an eerie sound coming from a mirror. The mirror breaks, revealing Absol.
[[File:Absol M06.png|thumb|left|250px|Absol appearing before the group]]
Butler recognizes Absol, a Pokémon that is known to appear just before a disaster. Absol runs after Max and Jirachi. May, seeing her brother in danger, summons {{TP|May|Torchic}} and orders an {{m|Ember}}, but the attack is far too weak, and Absol just shakes it off. Ash sends in Pikachu, telling him to use Thunderbolt, which succeeds in hurting Absol, sending it flying back, but also making it even angrier. Jirachi tells Max that Absol is here for it and then teleports Pikachu and Torchic away. The two reappear outside, just above the tent, and fall, landing softly on its roof. Now nothing is protecting Max and Jirachi; however, Absol changes targets and starts to rush towards the rest of the gang when Butler opens a booby trap that it falls into. Absol, now trapped in a cage, is raised back up to the stage and put to sleep with a {{m|Hypnosis}} from Butler's Kirlia. Max tries to question Jirachi about Absol, but the ordeal has left it exhausted, and it falls asleep.

At night, May sits on a rock while everybody else is sleeping and folds the second panel of her wishmaker. She notices Butler heading back towards the tent with something in his hands. It is revealed to be Jirachi, whom Butler sets down on a machine. Diane tries to talk Butler out of what he is about to do, but he brushes her concerns off, claiming he knows what he’s doing. Butler presses a button, activating the machine, which releases some sort of energy wave that suppresses Jirachi's movements. Butler reveals his intentions to use Jirachi's "true eye" to create {{p|Groudon}} and get his revenge on [[Team Magma]], who had once fired him and made a mockery of his work when his invention failed to create the Continent Pokémon before the Team Magma Council, ignoring his pleas that he just needed a stronger energy source to complete the process. Now having the energy source he desired at his fingertips, he instructs Jirachi to open its true eye and absorb the Millennium Comet's power. Jirachi refuses to do so; however, Butler informs it that it doesn't have a choice and orders his Dusclops to use {{m|Psychic}} to force the matter. Jirachi writhers in pain as Absol, still trapped in the cage, tries fruitlessly to escape and come to its aid. Back at the bus, May wakes Ash and the others up to inform them that Jirachi is gone, which causes Max to frantically start looking for his friend. Still being tortured by Dusclops, Jirachi's eye is finally forced open and fires a beam up towards the comet, which is spotted by the gang. The comet reflects the beam back towards Jirachi, obliterating Butler's machine in the process and leaving Jirachi severely injured on the ground. Ash and his friends are horrified, and Max rushes to Jirachi's side. Butler marvels at the power that was just on display, as Max angrily demands to know what he'd done to Jirachi. Butler assures Max that he'll take care of it, but Max refuses to hand Jirachi over to him. Diane makes another attempt to reason with Butler to stop what he's doing. He insists that what he is doing is for her; however, Diane rejects this, leaving him stunned. He then spots Max attempting to run away with Jirachi and orders Dusclops to stop him, but Pikachu intervenes. Jirachi tells Max its wish to return home to [[Forina]]. Before Max can inquire more, May grabs him by the arm, and the siblings make their escape with Jirachi and the others, including Diane. Breaking free of its cage, Absol fires an attack at Butler and Dusclops to prevent them from halting the get-away. As the group drives away in the bus, Butler sends out Mightyena in pursuit, who manages to stick a tracker under the bus. Inside the bus, Diane explains to the gang Butler's backstory, plan, and what factor Jirachi plays in all of it. Everyone decides that taking Jirachi back to Forina is the best solution, as they drive off into the night. Meanwhile, Butler tracks their movements and prepares to pursue them, ejecting an aircraft-like device from his van.

===Day Three of the Millennium Comet===
The bus traverses over some bumpy terrain, which causes Ash to fall out of his seat, much to the amusement of May, Max and Jirachi. Outside, the rattling of the bus causes Butler's tracker to detach from the vehicle's underside. When night falls, May closes the third panel of her wishmaker, while Brock is busy cooking a meal for everybody. May joins Diane inside the bus, where the latter begins to discuss her history with Butler. The pair were childhood friends, where Butler would often perform magic shows for Diane. Diane says that it's been a long time since she's seen Butler laugh the way he used to. She hopes that once the comet leaves, the real Butler will return and they can move on with their lives. Back outside, Absol watches over Jirachi from afar.

===Day Four of the Millennium Comet===
The day is spent continuing the drive to Forina. Along the way, the bus gets stuck in the mud, so Ash and the others help to push it out. Afterwards, everyone is covered in mud, and they all laugh. At night, May folds the fourth panel of her wishmaker, while Ash and Max have fun skipping stones on the lake.

===Day Five of the Millennium Comet===
Once again, the day is spent mostly driving. Jirachi is enjoying the view from inside the bus when it notices that Max seems sad. That night, May folds the fifth panel of her wishmaker. Suddenly, Max appears and snaps at her for doing so, as it is a reminder that he has only two days left with Jirachi. He runs off in distress, and Ash follows to talk to him. Ash assures Max that really good friends never truly leave, telling him that he recently separated from {{an|Misty|one of his best friends}}, and although he misses her a lot, he knows that she's still with him in spirit. Max cheers up, knowing that he and Jirachi will remain friends forever, even when separated.

===Day Six of the Millennium Comet===
The group finally arrives at Forina, Jirachi's homeland. The area is occupied by various other Pokémon, such as {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Tropius}}, {{p|Vibrava}}, and {{p|Nuzleaf}}. Jirachi asks if the others like its home, and they assure it that they do. As the night casts itself over Forina, May folds the sixth panel of her wishmaker while Max and Jirachi partake in a game of tug-of-war. May tells Max that it's time for him to go to sleep, as tomorrow is a big day. Max whines to his sister that he wants to stay up and play with Jirachi, reasoning that he probably won't be able to sleep anyway with tomorrow being his last day with Jirachi. Ultimately, he gives in and lays down with Jirachi, but the pair secretly plot to wait for everyone else to fall asleep so that they can continue to play together. Their plan fails, however, as the two are lulled to sleep by May's lullaby.

===Day Seven of the Millennium Comet===
The group is walking along a trail when they come across Absol standing in their path. Absol urges them to follow it as it leads them to a cave—the same cave Jirachi had previously laid in slumber for 1000 years. They reach a skylight in the cave, where there is a perfect view of the comet. An entranced Jirachi starts to float towards it but is grabbed by Max, who embraces it and cries that he doesn't want Jirachi to go. Jirachi tells Max that it must leave and once again heads towards the skylight. Jirachi prepares to open its true eye and absorb the energy from the comet when all of a sudden spikes burst out of the wall, firing purple energy beams at and capturing Jirachi. Having been waiting for the gang, Butler appears ready to perform his final trick—bringing Groudon to life. Just like before, Butler sets Jirachi into his machine and activates it. Jirachi's true eye fires an energy beam towards the comet, which reflects it back down towards Jirachi. This time, the machine is able to withstand the power, absorbing it and firing it back out through a set of three spikes that appear from the bottom of Butler's platform. The energy fired from those spikes begins etching a Groudon pattern into the ground. Ash and the others, who've been trapped by the same purple energy beams that captured Jirachi, try to use Pikachu's Thunderbolt to break out, but to no success. Absol and a wild {{p|Flygon}} rush onto the scene and destroy the spikes firing the purple beams, freeing everyone. Wasting no time, Ash and Max hop on the back of Flygon and fly off to save Jirachi. In an effort to foil their rescue attempt, Butler sends out {{p|Salamence}}, hops on its back, and gives chase to the pair. Ash devises a plan to have Max and Pikachu rescue Jirachi, while he and Flygon keep Butler distracted. With Butler out of the way, Pikachu fires a Thunderbolt at the machine, short-circuiting it and freeing Jirachi, whom Max catches in his arms. Ash, Max, Pikachu, and Jirachi fly back and reunite with the others, where May embraces her brother, having been worried for his safety.

[[File:Brock and May in a bubble.png|thumb|250px|Brock and May trapped in Meta Groudon]]
Suddenly, the ground starts to rumble as a mass starts to arise from the area where the Groudon pattern had been etched using the energy Jirachi received from the comet. Butler watches on in satisfaction as the ground mass starts to form into what appears to be Groudon itself. To everyone's surprise, including Butler's, the being that forms is not a real Groudon, but rather a [[Meta Groudon|corrupted version]] of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Meta Groudon starts sucking energy from the earth, causing the surrounding nature of Forina to decay. Absol attacks the creature, hoping to put a stop to it, but it instead gets engulfed by slimy blue-green tentacles released from Meta Groudon's claws. Meta Groudon then releases a bunch of tentacles from the various spikes on its body and starts absorbing all the fleeing Pokémon in the area with them. Butler joins the others as they all watch in horror at the mayhem his creation is unleashing. Overhead, Team Rocket arrives just as Meta Groudon is chasing a flock of Altaria with the tentacles, and they get captured as well. A shot of Meta Groudon's stomach shows that Team Rocket, Absol, and all the Pokémon it has captured have been absorbed into its body. As more and more Pokémon get sucked up, Butler bemoans that this is not the Groudon he wanted and that this Groudon is nothing but pure evil. While in his state of disbelief, one of Meta Groudon's tentacles shoots out towards Butler; however, before it can grab him, Diane pushes him out of the way and gets absorbed by the beast instead. Butler is unable to grieve the loss as more tentacles fire towards him as well as Ash and his friends. As they run to get away, May and Brock get captured and consumed by Meta Groudon. Ash, Max, Pikachu, and Jirachi also get caught, but Jirachi is able to teleport them to safety. Angered, Meta Groudon continues to pursue them, but this time Butler, on his Salamence, comes to their aid and informs them that Meta Groudon is after Jirachi's energy. Flygon also comes to assist them, once again providing them with its flying abilities. While in flight, Butler relays to Ash and Max how he believes they can stop Meta Groudon, stating that putting Jirachi back in his machine and reversing the polarity should allow Jirachi to absorb all the creatures energy. Ash and Max are hesitant to trust him, but after some convincing from Jirachi they decide to give him a second chance. Ash and Max fly around with Jirachi to distract Meta Groudon, while Butler goes to work on resetting up his machine. In his haste, Butler accidentally drops the fossilized Groudon shard necessary for his machine, and it rolls off the platform; however, Ash flies by with Flygon to catch it just in the nick of time. With the shard recovered, Butler is able to finish the preparations for his machine. Jirachi places itself upon the machine, but before Butler can activate it, a rumbling of the platform sends Butler tumbling over the edge. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Ash pulls the switch and activates the machine himself. Right away, the effects of the machine start to anger Meta Groudon, and it launches a tentacle towards Jirachi; however, Butler shields it before it makes contact and gets absorbed instead. Still angry, Meta Groudon starts to pour a gooey substance from its body over the entire machine, but at that moment, Jirachi starts glowing. Meta Groudon slowly gets dragged by {{m|Doom Desire|a meteor of white light}} made by Jirachi toward the Millennium Comet and explodes in a firework fashion.

As drops of light rain down over Forina, all of the Pokémon and humans who'd been consumed by Meta Groudon begin to reappear. Jirachi, shining like a star, descends from the sky and approaches Ash and the reunited gang. After an embrace, Jirachi asks Max if he'll grant it one final wish: the lullaby. Everyone starts singing it as Jirachi returns to its crystal cocoon state and sinks into the earth. Everybody wishes Jirachi good night and sweet dreams, while an emotional Max tells Jirachi that it'll always be with him in his heart.

===The End of the Millennium Comet===
The next morning, Butler and Diane announce that they have decided to stay in Forina, having realized that the only important thing is that they are together. They offer the group a ride back to town. Brock reminds May of her wishmaker and in panic she takes it out only to see that, to her disappointment, she didn't fold the seventh flap. However, she says it doesn't matter after all, because we all have to make our own dreams come true anyway. Ash agrees, saying that by wishing for a dream to come true, one would lose the fun that comes with pursuing the dream. As the group leaves, Jirachi communicates to Max using telepathy, saying that they will always stay best friends forever.

==Trivia==
*This movie was released between [[AG034]] and [[AG035]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[AG036]], as Ash and his friends hadn't left [[Slateport City]] yet.
*The prologue for this movie shows some of the main {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] from the first five movies: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}, as well as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, {{p|Mew}}, the [[legendary birds]], and {{p|Suicune}} are absent.
* This is the first Pokémon movie:
**To go directly to home video for its American release.
**To not feature the season's theme song during the opening credits.
**In which a [[villainous team]] other than [[Team Rocket]] makes an appearance.
**To distribute Mythical Pokémon as event Pokémon rather than just feature them.
**To feature May, and Max as Ash’s traveling companions.
**Not to feature [[Misty]] as a part of Ash’s traveling group, however she is indirectly mentioned by Ash during the movie.
* The ending song, [[Make a Wish]], is the first time that the English dub left the Japanese ending theme in. It was also combined with English lyrics performed by Cindy Mizelle.
**May's singing voice is also retained in the dub.
* The clown outfits that Jessie, James, and Meowth wear in the movie are later reused in [[DP010]].
*This movie is referenced in Pokémon Colosseum by way of a Trainer named Rider Zalla who owns a Jirachi (the star), Flygon, Absol ([[wild Pokémon]] befriended during the movie), Kirlia, Mightyena, and a Dusclops (Pokémon belonging to [[Butler]]). She can be found as the 77th Trainer on Battle Mode's Single Battle on Mt. Battle.
** Also, in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games, the two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s that appear on the southernmost part of {{rt|229|Sinnoh}} have their [[party|teams]] based on those of Butler and Diane. In fact, in the Japanese version, they have the same names as them, but the English translation team did not notice the relation to the movie characters.
*{{an|May}}'s [[rival]] [[Drew]] eventually obtains an {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Flygon}}, two of the main non-Legendary Pokémon of the movie.
*Throughout Tropius's appearances, instead of using its usual animated series voice, it uses the same "slurp" noise from when it was eating fruit.
*Even though {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} appear on the box cover, they never appear in the main story of the movie. In fact, out of all the main characters' Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Torchic}} were the only two to appear, with two exceptions outside of the main plot: the opening sequence when Treecko, Mudkip, and the main characters' other Pokémon appear while eating, and the ending beach scene. They do both, however, appear in fireworks in the movie.
*When traveling to Forina, an instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is played in the background and on the DVD main menu.
*This is the last Pokémon movie released to UK DVD until ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' years later.
*This is the only ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' movie in which a Generation IV Pokémon does not appear.
*This was the last movie that Tomiko Suzuki (Voice of Jirachi) lent her voice. Tomiko died of a heart attack a week and a half before the theatrical release.
*Although the main series switched its animation process to {{wp|Computer animation|digital animation}} by this point, this movie, along with [[M07|the]] [[M08|next]] [[M09|three]], were still made with {{wp|Traditional animation|inked-and-painted cels}}. This changed with the release of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in 2007, which was the first movie to be completely made with digital animation.
*While the previous two movies kept the original Japanese background music for the main feature, this is the first movie to keep the title sequence music in the English dub.
*This movie aired for the first time in Italy on March 16, 2012, almost 8 years after the American release. It has been the last ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' movie to air, and so far it is the movie that aired with the longest gap.
*During the ending credits, several {{pkmn|constellation}}s appear. The constellations are used as the frame for various Pokémon alluding to their real-world counterparts' names and mythology:
** {{wp|Ursa Minor}} as {{p|Teddiursa}}.
**{{wp|Ursa Major}} as {{p|Ursaring}}.
** {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}} as {{p|Milotic}}.
**{{wp|Ophiuchus}} as a {{p|Machoke}} carrying a {{p|Seviper}}.
**{{wp|Scorpius}} as {{p|Gligar}}.
**{{wp|Aquila (constellation)|Aquila}} as {{p|Kyogre}}.
**{{wp|Virgo (constellation)|Virgo}} as {{p|Gardevoir}} holding a feather.
**The star marking {{p|Pikachu}}'s cheek is {{wp|Spica}}, otherwise known as α Virginis.
*There were unusual changes made in several dubs for this movie and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', leaving many fans intrigued by the reasons:
**In {{pmin|Latin America}}, both movies were dubbed in Argentina (the usual dubbing is located in Mexico), by an entirely different voice cast and were aired only in some local channels.
***The voice cast also changed completely in the {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} and {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dubs (in Finland, the same cast was also in the [[M05|fifth movie]]).
**In {{pmin|Spain}}, the two movies were not dubbed at all.
*Until ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' nearly a decade later, this was the last Pokémon movie to air [[PK12|a Pikachu short]] alongside the movie.
*The last Pokémon movie on VHS to use clamshell packaging.
*The last Pokémon movie by 4Kids to have [[Megan Hollingshead]] as a part of the cast.
*The last Pokémon movie to feature a dubbed Pikachu short in the United States, as the next movie would not feature a short.
*This is the last Pokémon movie to use a different CGI title sequence for the Japanese and dubbed versions, as well as the first movie where title sequence fanfare is the same in both versions.

===Errors ===
[[File:Movie 6 German DVD Error.jpg|200px|thumb|Original German cover art]]
* When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} start running to the cliff overlooking the festival, {{an|Brock}} has his guidebook in his right hand, but when they reach the cliff, it is in his left.
** Shortly after, it disappears.
*When {{an|May}} sits down with [[Max]] while he is sleeping with the crystal, Brock's sleeves are given an orange lining.
*{{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} uses {{m|Teleport}}, a move that it [[animated series move errors|cannot legally learn]].
*When Ash tells Flygon to watch out, {{p|Salamence}}'s lower jaw is colored blue instead of gray. This also happens after Ash tells Pikachu and Max to free Jirachi.
*In the English dub, during the magic show, [[Butler]] calls for his {{p|Dusclops}} to use an attack called "Capitata", while in the Japanese version, Butler says 'Onibi!' which is {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}'s official Japanese name. It is unknown how the name "Capitata" got into the script or final product, but it seems that every dub used 'Capitata!' rather than Will-O-Wisp.
*The original German DVD cover [http://filb.de/542 used the art and logo] from ''Destiny Deoxys''. Although the art has been corrected, the logo is still used.

===Dub edits===
*In the beginning, Ash says the person who last comes up the hill is a {{p|Slowpoke}} (May calls Max a {{p|Slowbro}}). However, in most translations from English, the joke was eliminated, replacing "slow" to each language's response.
*In the English dub, when Ash is talking with Max, he talks about friendship and makes a reference to {{an|Misty}}, though not by name. In the original Japanese version, Ash says to Max that a thousand years for Jirachi and its comet could be just an instant and it wouldn't be the same traveling with him. He remarks that he's not able to explain the thing very clearly.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil}}ian dub, Jirachi is referred to as female rather than male, even being voiced by a female.
*In the English dub, Japanese text is removed from the magic show posters.
*In the English dub, Team Rocket doesn't want Jirachi to teleport away before they make their wish. In the original Japanese version, they simply wish for promotions.
*In the English dub, Ash is the one who identifies Absol when it attacks. In the original Japanese version, Brock is the one who identifies Absol.
*In the English dub, when May wonders if Absol and Jirachi know each other, Brock says it is unlikely, since Jirachi has been asleep for 1,000 years. In the original Japanese version, Brock instead wonders if this is the reason Jirachi teleported Pikachu and Torchic away.
*In the English dub, [[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'s voice for Salamence is completely removed, and it instead makes generic dinosaur noises by Frank Welker.

==Plot==
[[Diana]] drives through the night to visit the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and arrives earlier than expected, deciding to nap in her cramped car. As she falls asleep, a Pokémon silently floats up beside her. Meanwhile, as [[Liko]] and [[Dot]] wait for the former's grandmother to arrive, [[Murdock]] is cooking in the kitchen. {{TP|Murdock|Lycanroc}} senses something nearby, yet upon closer inspection, finds nothing. In the captain's deck, [[Orla]] is teaching [[Roy]] some maintenance while the unknown Pokémon from earlier watches {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]] assist {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}'s fire bird. Just as Cap senses the same presence as Lycanroc, it vanishes just as quickly. While Roy fetches his friends for dinner, Orla joins the rest in the meeting room, discovering a plate of [[mochi]] on the table. Assuming it came from Diana, they eat the mochi without suspicion, but Orla begins to act up.

The younger members arrive and find the meeting room deserted with a broken plate and a fallen chair. Dot investigates the kitchen, where she finds Murdock's abandoned [[Rotom Phone]] and food freshly cooked in the oven. She reunites with the others to share her findings, and they decide to split up to investigate. Roy leaves Kilowattrel to scout from the sky, but the {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} is ambushed shortly after. Liko and Dot find Orla in the engine room and they leave in fear when she begins chanting and dancing out of nowhere. Meanwhile, Roy and [[Ult]] encounter [[Mollie]] behaving the same way in the infirmary, which forces them to run, while Lucario is secretly ambushed by the unseen intruder. As they catch their breath, {{p|Sableye}} notices something approaching and tries to alert its {{pkmn|Trainer}} while the intruder hurls a mochi toward Cap. However, the intruder's attempt backfires when Roy moves, resulting in the mochi being eaten by Ult instead. Liko and Dot regroup with Roy, reporting that everyone else is acting strangely, including Murdock, who they had encountered earlier. The trio then realize Ult is now acting like everyone else, while Sableye directs Roy's attention to the box that holds the intruder. Cap chases after it, but also gets caught by the intruder.
[[File:HZ123 RVT Mochi dance.png|thumb|250px|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers under Pecharunt's influence while Quaxwell dances along]]
Liko, Roy, and Dot retreat to the kitchen to plan, only to leave when Mollie and Ult arrive. When the elevator arrives, Dot steps inside to stop Murdock, who was waiting inside it, before the doors close. Outside, Liko and Roy confront the unknown Pokémon, which has captured Cap, Kilowattrel, and Lucario using {{a|Toxic Chain|some chains}}, along with their strangely-behaving friends, including Dot. Despite trying to recuperate with Roy in the meeting room, Liko had to escape again when her friend is acting strangely as well, only for her to be force-fed some mochis when she gets cornered. With the Rising Volt Tacklers under control, the group begins a dance party, joined by the onboard Pokémon.

However, the party is cut short when Diana arrives and scolds the Pokémon, revealed to be a {{p|Pecharunt}}. Hoping to please her with the bigger space of the [[Brave Olivine]], the Subjugation Pokémon had used its mochi to control the Trainers, much to Diana’s displeasure. She explains that she discovered a [[Mythical Pecha Berry]] while in the wild with [[Hamber]]. Upon reaching [[Kitakami]], they bonded with the residents and enjoyed themselves. When a {{p|Ludicolo}} wore itself out, Diana wanted to offer the Mythical Pecha Berry, only to find it gone. Seeing her dilemma, Pecharunt controlled the people of Kitakami and some Pokémon to bring {{Berries}} to Diana and Hamber, mistaking the two for the elderly couple that once cared for it. However, Diana refused the Berries, resulting in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Pecharunt and the controlled Pokémon. Once Pecharunt was weakened, Hamber realized the Subjugation Pokémon wanted to go with Diana, and she decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. After restoring peace between Kitakami’s people and Pecharunt, Diana and Hamber [[HZ107|went their separate ways]], with Diana continuing adventures alongside her newly caught Pecharunt. As Liko asks Pecharunt to get along with her grandmother, Dot reminds Diana of the item she wanted to give Liko. From her car, Diana gives a set of [[Auspicious Armor]] to {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} since it was lying around in her [[ancient castle]] and the Fire Child Pokémon takes it in awe as [[Ludlow]] continues dancing in the night, leaving his {{p|Quagsire}} worried.

==Major events==

* The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] meet with [[Diana]] again.
* [[Hamber]] is revealed to own a {{form|Rotom|Mow}} {{p|Rotom}}.
* The Pokémon Diana and Hamber worked together to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} [[HZ107|earlier]] is revealed to have been a {{p|Pecharunt}}.

* In one scene, Kilowattrel's toxic chain is positioned above its wings, around its neck, instead of below, around its waist.

'''Dot's Gholdengo ''' (Japanese: '''ドットのサーフゴー''' ''Dot's Surfugo'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Dot]] {{pkmn2|caught}} after becoming an official [[Pokémon Trainer]] and her third overall.

==History==
===As a [[wild Pokémon]]===
[[File:Dot and Gimmighoul.png|thumb|250px|left|Gimmighoul joining Dot's [[party|team]]]]
{{p|Gholdengo}} debuted as a {{form|Gimmighoul|Chest Form}} {{p|Gimmighoul}} in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', where it controlled [[Roy]] at some [[Paldea]]n fort ruins in [[South Province (Area Three)]], making him unknowingly collect [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] and deposit them into its chest. It reappeared in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', a year later, where it did the same, this time to [[Dot]] and [[Ult]] as well, before [[Liko]] appeared and released them from its control. Later, it was shown to have stowed away on the [[Brave Olivine]].

In ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', Gimmighoul started to target Dot repeatedly, using its ghost energy to control her to go outdoors despite her not wanting to. After Dot decided to go surfing with her {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, Gimmighoul suddenly appeared on her board, but almost drifted away when it went to get one of the coins that fell out of its chest. Fortunately, it was saved by Dot. While surfing, they watched a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gholdengo}} surf by, and Dot realized that Gimmighoul idolized its evolved form and made other gather coins so it could [[Evolution|evolve]] as well. Wanting to help it make its wish come true, just as she had her own, Dot offered her help to Gimmighoul and promised to keep on collecting coins. Gimmighoul was then asked by Dot if it wanted to join her team, which it happily accepted and was [[caught]].
{{-}}

===With [[Dot]]===
In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Gimmighoul followed Dot's {{p|Tinkatuff}} into a scrapyard, where it continued to collect coins. At one point, it slipped and let a coin fall from its chest next to a {{p|Scrafty}}, who then demanded the rest of its coins. Tinkatuff then came to its rescue, scaring the Scrafty off and returning the coins. Later, after Tinkatuff had disappeared from the Brave Olivine, Gimmighoul became worried about her well-being. They soon found her on the ground, attempting to forge a new hammer with {{p|Corviknight}} feathers, accompanied by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who immediately engaged in battle with Dot. After {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} was defeated and with Tinkatuff occupied, Gimmighoul stood up against the [[Explorers]], though its lack of battling experience quickly led to it getting hurt and spilling some coins. Rather than collecting the coins, however, Gimmighoul picked up a feather and gave it to Tinkatuff, witnessing her evolve into {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} before driving the Explorers off. Once the battle concluded, Tinkaton picked up the fallen coins and returned them to Gimmighoul.
[[File:Dot and Gholdengo.png|thumb|250px|Gholdengo and Dot]]
In ''[[HZ117|Ult-imate Training]]'', Gimmighoul faced off against [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}}, but the battle quickly turned into a back-and-forth of {{m|Astonish}}, exhausting both Trainers, before being called off.

In ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]'', Gimmighoul accompanied Dot and [[Penny]] in infiltrating the [[Exceed]] Museum to gather data on [[Laquium]]. During the group's secret mission, it got distracted looking for the last coin it need to evolve, which led to it getting caught by [[Chalce]], [[Indi]], and [[Rubina]]. While Dot and Penny initially held their own against the Explorers, things turned bad once Gimmighoul was kidnapped by Chalce's {{p|Xatu}}, forcing Dot to try and rescue it. As Dot's Quaxwell and Tinkaton struggled against Chalce's new battle tactics, Gimmighoul pointed towards a coin it spotted in the distance, enabling Dot to throw the last coin it needed to evolve. Gimmighoul then evolved into Gholdengo, learned {{m|Make It Rain}}, and helped both Dot and Penny to escape, while retrieving its Trainer's [[Rotom Phone]] with the collected data intact. After their mission was complete, Dot and Penny said goodbye to each other with Gholdengo helping its Trainer reunite with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].
[[File:Dot Gholdengo Good as Gold.png|thumb|left|250px|Good as Gold activating]]
In [[HZ125]], Gholdengo was brought out to battle [[Lucius's Arboliva]], which was being controlled by Chalce, after Quaxwell got knocked out. Gholdengo and Tinkaton were able to take down Arboliva through a combination of Make It Rain and {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}, destroying its cage in the process.

In [[HZ133]], Gholdengo was sent out to battle Indi and Rubina's group of {{p|Cofagrigus}} and {{p|Runerigus}}. When they tried to use {{m|Curse}} on it, Gholdengo's {{a|Good as Gold}} [[Ability]] prevented the move from affecting it. However, knowing the risk of Cofagrigus and Runerigus using {{m|Destiny Bond}} if it knocked them out, Gholdengo told Dot to let it defeat them anyway, which she did. After defeating Cofagrigus and Runerigus, Gholdengo was knocked out by Destiny Bond and Dot returned it to its {{i|Poké Ball}} to rest.

[[File:Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo.png|250px|thumb|Gimmighoul idolizing Gholdengo]]
Gholdengo is an easy-going Pokémon. As a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, it was more skittish and had the habit of controlling people and Pokémon nearby into collecting [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] for it to store in its chest, as expected of its species. Each coin was so important for Gimmighoul that it would even risk its life to get one of them back, as seen in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''. Gholdengo, while it was a Gimmighoul, easily snuck away from those it took control of and was stealthy, but has been discovered a couple of times. Also, despite its habit of collecting coins, Gimmighoul never meant to cause serious harm to anyone, as shown in ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', when it felt guilty that {{p|Tinkatuff}} had to put making her new hammer on hold to help it gets its coins back from a wild {{p|Scrafty}} and believed that it was the reason the Hammer Pokémon disappeared from the [[Brave Olivine]].

[[HZ102|After stowing]] [[HZ103|away on the]] Brave Olivine, Gimmighoul took a particular liking to [[Dot]], who quickly became its favorite target for collecting coins. While initially unpleased, she came to terms with this habit after sympathizing with Gimmighoul, mirroring the way it idolized a {{pkmn2|wild}} Gholdengo to her own admiration to {{an|Iono}}, which led to her catching it. Although she promised to continue gathering coins for it to [[Evolution|evolve]], Gimmighoul still kept controlling her and its new teammates on occasion, showcasing its mischievous side. Despite this, Gholdengo does care about Dot and is loyal to her, forming an unbreakable bond with its Trainer. Gholdengo and Dot even trust each other enough to know their intentions, as seen in [[HZ133]].
[[File:Gholdengo Quaquaval Tinkaton.png|thumb|250px|left|Gholdengo, {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}}, and {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}]]
As a part of Dot's [[Party|team]], it developed a close bond with Tinkatuff during the events of ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', after she defended it from a Scrafty and returned the coins it had accidentally dropped; this left such an impression on Gimmighoul that it later chose to put aside its coins to help Tinkatuff make her new hammer, leading to her Evolution into {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}. Gholdengo even works well with Tinkaton, as seen in [[HZ125]], when they worked together to defeat [[Lucius's Arboliva]]. However, Gholdengo can clash with Tinkaton, but they get over it quickly, as seen in [[HZ127]], when they argued over a [[Sitrus Berry]] until {{p|Quaxwell}} broke them up and spilt the berry in half for them to share. Gholdengo became close with Quaxwell and gives its support for him, even maintaining its bond with him after evolving into {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}}. Upon witnessing Quaxwell's determination to get stronger, Gholdengo was inspired to do same and helped him in [[HZ128]]. It also looks up to Quaquaval and Tinkaton for their skills in Pokémon battles, as it sees them as its older siblings.

As a Gimmighoul, Gholdengo was an inexperienced battler and, therefore, was most commonly used as a last resort, but would not hesitate in entering a battle if it meant helping or protecting its friends. After evolving in ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]'', Gholdengo became much stronger and more reliable, with its newfound powers allowing it to blast through walls. Gholdengo also became capable of surfing as a means of transportation, and it deftly uses this skill both to disorient opponents in battle, such as [[Chalce]], and carry its Trainer around. Gholdengo also dosen't mind surfing with its friends, as seen in ''[[HZ123|Mochi Mayhem!]]''.

== questions about regarding some of Rival Blues pokemon team Moves (Fire red Leaf green) ==

Hello wasent sure where to discuss this, but i found that in a video i have a link to that when a youtuber used a ditto in a fire red run he copied Rival Blues growlithe's moves in Silph Co, and turns out it had the moves Odor Sleuth, and Helping Hand, not Roar and Leer which are applied along the other recently correct moves already applied to it which are Take Down and Flame Wheel respectively, can anyone else confirm what other correct moves are for Exeggcute, i could be wrong but im sure that the correct moves it has are confusion, stun spore and the other two moves im not sure, and apart of me thinks its not hypnosis but rather, Leech Seed, poison powder, or sleep powder? and also for the last Route 22 fight with Rival blue im starting to wonder what the correct moves are for the growlithe and exeggcute TBH im starting to wonder what moves are even right on blues pokemon from beginning to end in fire red and leaf green some look like they were coping some of the old red and blue moves and mixing them up with the new and improved moves on his pokemon... I might be mistaken but im not sure, can anyone shed some light on this? id like to do a play through and make sure that the right moves are correct on Blues party from oaks lab to the final battle so that everyone knows the correct moves are on which pokemon. also please if anyone could please send me the correct moves Blue uses on his Blastoise team in Pokemon tower, Silph Co., Route 22 and final Battle with him choosing Blastoise? thanks!

so i noticed on the article about finding feebas it states that "The tiles' locations are independent of the [[trend]] in [[Dewford Town]], although the tiles' location will change every time the trend does." when i was shiny hunting for feebas i found that when the trendy phrase repeats to a previous phrase, it had the same feebas locations as before, which would mean the tiles are dependant to the trendy phrase. i dont have any video footage, just my own experience , but if theres anyway i can verify it for you let me know. thanks!

==Deleting/reworking the link templates==
For the average editor, the link templates are vague and confusing when viewing them in the editor, and the amount of time spent trying to figure what each template means, as well as which template to use, outweighs the minute benefits of the templates being used to shorten titles. For example, it's not obvious that the [[Template:A|A template]] stands for "abilities." Also, these templates can break when pages are renamed, merged, or split. Most of these templates should be deprecated or deleted, with any usage of the templates being removed.

Also, identifiers shouldn't be needed when there is only one page that has a title, nor if it would be the most frequently-searched title; it just ends up being more work when linking it from other articles. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:17, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
:What? Templates help makes editing easier so you don't have to type out <nowiki>[[Guts (Ability)|Guts]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> in full. A good chunk of the wiki uses link templates. And if they were to be moved or whatever, the bot can simply re-link them accordingly. If you are unsure what template to use or what each template means, you can simply check {{bp|List of link templates}}.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:25, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
::Okay, but I think the template names should be more intuitive to the average editor. For example, the average editor is not going to know what Template:A does if they've never looked at the template; it'd be better if the template was named Template:Ability; giving the editor the idea that the template is an identifier template for Pokémon [[Ability|Abilities]]. However, even then I don't really see the point of having multiple identifier templates, especially if a general identifier template in the format {id:<Article name>|<identifier>} could be used instead. (There's currently a total of 437 link templates.) Not to mention that identifiers are redundant if there is only one page under that title.

::Here's some examples of how the link templates can be renamed to be more intuitive:
::* Template:2ct → Template:2 counters
::* Template:2v → Template:2 versions (Can't figure out how to account for Template:2v2; maybe "Template:2 versions 2"?)
::* Template:A → Template:Ability
::* Template:Acolor → Template:Ability color
::* Template:Acce link → Template:Accessory link
::* Template:Aow → Template:Overworld animation (Also Template:Overworld ani, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Adv → Template:Adventures
::* Template:B → Template:Berry
::* Template:Bt → Template:Bulbapedia talk
::* Template:BTImg → Template:Battle Trozei image (Also Template:Battle Trozei img, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Ci → Template:City
::* Template:E → Template:Energy
::* Template:H → Template:Help
::* Template:I → Template:Item
::* Template:M → Template:Move
::* Template:N → Template:News
::* Template:P → Template:Pokémon
::* Template:Spr → Template:Sprite
::* Template:T → Template:Type
::* Template:U → Template:User (Possible conflict with [[Template:User|another template with the same name]].)
::* Template:V → Template:Version
::* Template:Wp → Template:Wikipedia
::* Template:Yt → Template:Youtube
::* Template:Ytu → Template:YouTube user

::I'm all for improving accessibility for visitors and users alike, and I'd prefer having to type templates that require more characters but are more intuitive to other editors than typing templates requiring less characters but are less intuitive to other editors. If there are other suggestions on making link template names more intuitive, let me know. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
:::The point of a link template is to shorten linking, hence why the link templates are only one or a few letters. If users are unsure of what templates to use or what they mean, they can always ask, go to the template page, or use the list of link templates page I linked. And identifiers are used if you want to link one word of the article without linking to a redirect or disambiguation page. Typing out <nowiki>[[Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to a disambiguation page, whereas <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to the species article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:55, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
::::Link templates have short names so they're quicker to use in the source editor. Sure, a person who has never looked at the template may not know what it's for, but one click to go the template page will tell them what the template is, what it stands for, and how to use it. Additionally, when each new user is {{template|welcome}}d, they're recommended to go through the policies and best practices of the wiki, which includes {{bp|list of link templates}}: a list of all templates with quick examples of how to use them. We're adding documentation and TemplateData (a new feature on the wiki) to older templates to make them easier to use, so that should also make it clearer what they stand for. Lastly, Link templates will also make it easier if pages titles are reworked in the future. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 08:58, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

==Requiring citations for foreign names, dates, and age ratings==
I'm thinking of adding all of the foreign names for the Pokémon books, adding citations for the foreign names. With the lack of citations for foreign names, a visitor or user cannot tell if the foreign name is real or was fabricated. I think that foreign names should be cited, so that visitors and users can know that the name actually originated from a source rather than having been fabricated. Dates and age ratings should also be cited for the same reason. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 19:04, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

I made an account so that I can occasionally discuss or edit if needed, but now I think I'll stay signed out. The website immediately gets more rough and looks worse the moment you sign in.

Goyangi: /* Disagree */ Reply

== Disagree ==

I don't understand the reason for this. It's essentially required misgendering of Pokémon, which is something the main policy is against, so why are you doing this? Just because the games and anime use "it" for some strange reason doesn't mean Bulbapedia should. We really need more user input on this before it becomes an actual policy, because it should not become an actual policy. Besides, you are alone in believing this should become an actual policy. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 18:17, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's just a proper grammar. Every animal is referred to as "it" and Pokemon are supernatural animals. Their sex is unimportant most of the time and the creators don't bring as much attention to it. '''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 18:26, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
::It's still unreasonable for us to do the same. Calling them by their actual gender is also proper grammar, and you wouldn't call real individual animals with known sexes "it", would you? Especially a pet such as your own. Additionally, your reply comes across as indifference to whether or not a Pokémon is misgendered or not, as opposed to definite opposition or support. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 18:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Notably, the Pokémon themselves don't even use gendered pronouns to refer to each other, as of Pokémon Pokopia. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:54, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
::::This is not a reason for us to follow suit. We're not the games, we're Bulbapedia. Why should we continue to treat Pokémon as if their gender doesn't matter, and that they're not worthy of basic respect? Pokopia not using gendered pronouns doesn't mean anything. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 18:57, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::Bulbapedia convention has always been to draw from the official source material. Our mission is to explain the franchise as it is, not how we'd like it to be. But on the other hand, we're also not adopting an in-universe voice either like, say, a fan fiction might. To me at least, using gendered pronouns when the series itself doesn't even do so a majority of the time, almost makes it seem like we're treating Pokémon like they're real people, which muddies the encyclopedic voice we're aiming for. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:08, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::For the record I'm also in favor of using "it" to refer to Pokémon. Bulbapedia presents the material using official language as far as possible. The games and anime doing so is a strong indication that this is how they should be referred to here too. [[User:Thespeon|Thespeon]] ([[User talk:Thespeon|talk]]) 19:09, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Official language refers to things like names for Pokémon and items, not pronouns used in source material. Believing it does refer to pronouns is being overly fastidious. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 19:17, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::Individual Pokémon ''should'' be treated as people, because they are beloved by their trainers/humans who know them, and if official source material confirms their gender, pronouns used in place of gendered ones are irrelevant to the standards of Bulbapedia. And even if you believe treating individual Pokémon as people muddies something, it doesn't mean everyone else should treat individual Pokémon as unworthy of basic respect. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 19:15, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Even IRL it's not polite or respectful to assign gendered pronouns to someone who doesn't use them. But again, that's kinda where attributing moral value to this gets far too in the weeds. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:23, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::The only reason the games and anime use "it/its" is because of translation quirks/issues that cause "aitsu" (which, might I add, has a rude/disrespectful tone) to always be "it/its", instead of translators taking liberty. We don't have to feed into those. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 19:28, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::Actually, according to [https://www.tumblr.com/typhlosionofficial/105109524443/pok%C3%A9mon-style-guide-taken-from-rpokemon-and-vp this BW-era TCPi style guide], that was a deliberate choice by the company to avoid using gender-specific pronouns to refer to Pokémon. Given that the games, anime, and other media still tend to use it/its pronouns to refer to Pokémon, I think it's safe to assume this particular guideline is still part of their policy. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 02:07, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::Even then, that only started because of strange translation choices, and for some reason they didn't fix that. Plus, notice how they call Meowth "his" and "he", so they don't even follow their own "rules". The contradiction alone should be enough to dismiss this material. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 02:36, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::Contradictions or minor errors do not invalidate the broader standard. Official materials have inconsistencies all the time, but we still follow the overall, consistent conventions they establish. A few exceptions like Meowth don't override the general pattern of how Pokémon are referred to.
:::::::::::It's also worth noting that internal or explanatory documents not intended for public use can be less strict in wording, so occasional deviations there aren't especially meaningful compared to consistent public-facing usage.
:::::::::::To keep this grounded in policy, what Bulbapedia guideline or convention supports moving away from official language here? Recent discussions on naming and terminology have leaned strongly toward aligning with official materials when describing the franchise.
:::::::::::I concede that we don't mirror official wording verbatim in all cases, especially for the sake of conciseness (we don't say "[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]" every single time), but introducing gendered pronouns where the source material generally avoids them starts to drift into editorializing, which we usually try to avoid.
:::::::::::Additionally, one of the reasons we should avoid gendered pronouns for Pokémon is that Pokémon often differ in gender between media. For instance, we concluded [[Serena's Delphox]] is female and use "she/her" pronouns throughout, but Serena's Delphox is male in Pokemon Masters. Even [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], which is very intentionally canonically female, sometimes appears as a male in the core series games. I think we'd be safer by sidestepping that entirely and choosing the "always correct" option, rather than ending up with language like "Serena's Delphox is a Pokemon in many media. She was depicted as male in Masters". [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 11:37, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::The only logical reason for referring to a Pokémon as "it" is if the Pokémon's gender is unknown. Saying "it" when a Pokémon is confirmed male or female is irrefutably disregarding their gender and treating them as though they are still unknown, which is callous. Deep down, you know this, but you ignore it for the sake of "consistency with source material". It comes across as overly meticulous and nitpicky. Additionally, if Ash's Pikachu gets to have two separate pages for his two incarnations, why would Serena's Delphox be undeserving of the same? I understand that Delphox's role in Masters is much smaller than in the anime, but the Delphox in Masters and the Delphox in the anime are clearly not the same individual. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 12:04, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Bulbapedia can and does explicitly state a Pokémon’s gender where relevant. Pronoun choice and acknowledging gender aren’t the same thing, and the source material itself routinely separates those two.
:::::::::::::My point with Serena's Delphox is that the mix of gendered language in prose introduces another layer of complexity for editors and readers. And in cases where a Pokémon character's gender is already debated in the first place, this could result in a lot more back-and-forth than we already deal with.
:::::::::::::With Delphox, we'd still end up with an overview page for the character that switches between different pronouns, which I think presents a poor and potentially confusing experience for readers.
:::::::::::::I will clarify that I may be willing to accept gendered pronouns in cases where the character is consistently referred to by those pronouns, such as {{MTR}}, but I do not accept imposing those pronouns on characters that don't use them or that use inconsistent pronouns between media. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 12:19, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::It's not imposing, it's treating a Pokémon as an individual instead of as an object/generic entity. Contrary to your claim, acknowledging gender and using gendered pronouns are, indeed, the same thing in this case. The fact that people are actually on board with misgendering Pokémon is genuinely surprising to me. Additionally, Mega Kangaskhan's Pokédex entry in Ultra Moon very clearly uses gendered pronouns, so using gendered pronouns for Pokémon is perfectly acceptable, and the handbook sourced is simply corporate folly. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 12:31, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::That may be your opinion, but it's not the job of the encyclopedia to take a stance in these instances. The only neutral approach we can take here is drawing from the source material itself rather than imposing our own beliefs and theories on the text. In the case of Mega Kangaskhan, it's notable that this was intentionally corrected in later games. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 12:40, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::It was not "corrected", but rather uncorrected. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 12:58, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::Regarding the source material argument, we shouldn't just blanket refer to every pokemon as it/its. We have to take into account the gender differences, or pokedex entrees that state things like mother or father, even if its just in one or two games. [[User:Sonario648|Sonario648]] ([[User talk:Sonario648|talk]]) 13:16, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::They use it/its because the word is a gender neutral term. Otherwise they would have to make three separate versions of the dialoge. It's not disrespectful at all. [[User:Sonario648|Sonario648]] ([[User talk:Sonario648|talk]]) 15:49, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Goyangi: I think this may come down to a difference in what standard we think Bulbapedia should follow. From my end, I'm prioritizing consistency with the franchise's presentation, while you seem to be approaching it from a different angle. It might make sense to get additional input at this point to see where broader consensus lands.

@Sonario648: I absolutely agree that we don't need to be shy from using "mother", "father", etc. where appropriate when they are used officially. I think we should similarly reserve usage of gendered pronouns for when they are consistently used officially, however, such as in the case of Meowth. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 13:23, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

:It's admittedly a little hard to achieve "consistency with the franchise's presentation" in this situation because the franchise's presentation is so inconsistent. I just took a look at the descriptions for several spin-offs on Pokémon.com and they seem to avoid using pronouns for Pokémon as much as possible, but I did find a handful that use gendered pronouns - Detective Pikachu, Detective Pikachu Returns, and PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond - and some that use gender neutral pronouns - PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure and Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. Then there's stuff like Chef Dente in Pokopia, who is referred to with she/her pronouns by a diary entry and then the narration immediately after you read that entry refers to that Greedent with they/them pronouns. So at this point I'm ready to just throw my hands up and say "don't use pronouns to refer to an individual Pokémon ever". [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:30, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
::I personally lean towards maintaining the gender pronouns. In Masters EX, sync pair Pokémon are consistently referred by "he" or "she", based on the appropriate gender, though I admit that I don't think any Pokémon has been consistently referred to with gender pronouns in the animated series. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 00:04, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I agree with you. Masters' use of gendered pronouns brings the whole thing into question, and I am in favor of keeping gendered pronouns. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 12:24, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::For Pokémon Mystery Dungeon I try to use it/its when referring to a general species and the gendered pronoun when referring to a specific character, since the game scripts stay 99% consistent on the latter point.
:::For Pokopia the switching between they/them and gendered pronouns depending on the speaker/writer makes it more complicated, but I don't think the current use of gendered pronouns on Pokopia character pages are a poor solution as long as there are human records to support it (Is Tinkmaster ever referred to by human records? That article might need a change if not).
:::I do feel using it/its is not a great solution for referring to a character that is ''both sentient and unique'' unless it is specified by the source material (Ditto in Pokopia for instance). --[[User:RRad|RRad]] ([[User talk:RRad|talk]]) 01:00, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::::I agree with Storm here. There are valid reasons to use gendered pronouns and there are valid reasons to use "it/its", but I think gendered pronouns present more potential problems. Simply using "it/its" across the board would never be "wrong", and would cut through the noise and confusion of having to know when and where to use this pronoun or that pronoun, making things much simpler for editors and more clear and consistent for readers. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 10:48, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::This also opens things up to clearly list out exceptions where the character is always referred to with specific pronouns; I've updated the proposed guidelines accordingly with some potential exceptions. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 15:45, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:To add to the discussion, I wanna bring up Pokémon including but not limited to Ogerpon, the Loyal Three, and the spiky-eared Pichu. These Pokémon are always a certain gender in the games they appear in (Ogerpon and the Pichu are female while the Loyal Three are males), and yet are still referred to with it/its pronouns there.
:On Bulbapedia, I’ve run into articles that vary between it/its and gendered pronouns for the Pokémon, leading to inconsistency between them.
:You could easily say to just follow the games and use it/its, and when I changed the pronouns in the articles, that's exactly what I believed. I had no idea this was a pretty big issue until I discovered this talk page and one of my edits got reverted.
:Admittedly, I sometimes use gendered pronouns for Pokémon, but those are reserved for informal contexts and Bulbapedia is supposed to be semi-formal from the looks of things. I don't see anything wrong with using it/its for the same reasons that have already been brought up earlier, so I won't repeat any points. [[User:SuguriSweet|SuguriSweet]] ([[User talk:SuguriSweet|talk]]) 20:37, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

:::It/its pronouns are more formal in this context because they're generally preferred by official sources.

'''Spiky-eared Pichu''' (Japanese: '''ギザみみピチュー''' ''Gizamimi Pichu'') is a {{p|Pichu}}. Its [[form]] is different from the one of an ordinary Pichu, as it has three spikes at the tip of its left ear, hence its name.

==In the core series games==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Double Pichu battle.png|thumb|Spiky-eared Pichu and [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] in a Double Battle]]
Spiky-eared Pichu first appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} as an event Pokémon obtained in [[Ilex Forest]]. If the player interacts with the [[Ilex Forest shrine|shrine]] while {{pkmn2|walking}} with a [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]], she will appear and join the player's party. If the player's party is full, they will have to deposit a Pokémon and return to accept her.

Spiky-eared Pichu has her own unique in-battle and overworld sprites and cannot evolve or be traded outside of its original game. Aside from her unique sprite, moves, and inability to be traded or evolved, she is nearly identical to a normal Pichu in that her base stats are the same as a normal Pichu's. However, her maximum stats for the [[Pokéathlon]] are different. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on her, it will have a spiky ear. {{Shiny}} sprites for Spiky-eared Pichu exist in the coding of the games, although it is impossible to obtain one due to the game assigning the Spiky-eared Pichu a fixed [[personality value]] that is predetermined according to the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[secret ID]]. This ensures that the [[personality value]] will never result in a Shiny nor a male Spiky-eared Pichu.

If taken to [[Professor Elm]] in [[New Bark Town]], it is revealed that she has traveled through time with {{p|Celebi}}. Elm claims that he and [[Professor Oak]] were researching the time travel abilities of Celebi, and adds that this Pichu proves his main theory. He adds that the reason she cannot evolve is because she has been time traveling for so long and then calls all the [[Pokémon Center]] attendants to prevent Spiky-eared Pichu from being used in trades; however, the attendants do not permit her into a trading facility prior to this either. Spiky-eared Pichu is also unable to be transferred through the [[Poké Transfer]] into a [[Generation V]] game due to her past time traveling.
<blockquote>Oh! This Pichu needs to stay where it is.
It appears to have traveled through time.
It has been affected by traveling so far through time with Celebi.
It'll be very risky to transfer it, so it's best for Pichu to stay where it is.</blockquote>

Spiky-eared Pichu's inability to be traded can be explained as being preventative of trading any alternate form to a game in which the form does not appear, as happens in Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver when entering the trade center with {{p|Rotom}} in an appliance, {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme, or {{p|Shaymin}} in its Sky Forme, by returning them to the forms they appeared in Diamond and Pearl. As Spiky-eared Pichu cannot freely change between forms, this explains the need to make her untradeable within Generation IV.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''====
Spiky-eared Pichu debuted in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' as [[Damos]]'s friend. It helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and Damos' jail cell after they were imprisoned by [[Marcus]].

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
While it does not appear in any {{pkmn|animated series}} episodes proper, Spiky-eared Pichu does appear in an [[Get Fired Up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|ending]] dedicated to it. This ending displays its love for [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

====[[Pikachu short]]s====
In ''[[PK20|Pikachu's Big Sparking Search]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu and {{p|Smoochum}} were preparing a birthday party for {{p|Bellossom}}.

In ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'', Spiky-eared Pichu was one of the Pokémon watching {{an|Meloetta}}'s concert.

====Personality and characteristics====
Spiky-eared Pichu is shown to be a helpful Pokémon, which can be seen when it freed {{p|Cyndaquil}} by using Iron Tail on the collar that was used to control it. However, in the ending dedicated to it, it was shown to also be quite competitive, as evident when it raced the {{Shiny}} Pichu up a tree and lost, and when it had an eating contest with the Shiny Pichu to see who could eat the most [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]] and won. In that ending theme, it was also shown to be very sensitive, as it was seen crying when it got lost.

====Moves used====

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Spiky-eared Pichu first appears in ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', where it is seen accompanying {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Pibu]] as they help {{adv|Celebi}} find the herbs needed to cure {{adv|Giovanni}}'s disease. When several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s try to stop [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]] from helping Celebi under Giovanni's orders, they accidentally trample over the Pichu duo, which causes them to retaliate by shocking the Grunts with a combined {{t|Electric}} attack. When they meet up with Gold, Gold sees Spiky-eared Pichu and teases Pibu about finding a date.

===Arceus and the Jewel of Life===
In the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga adaptation}} of the movie, Spiky-eared Pichu is a [[wild Pokémon]] who the characters meet in the distant past. It assists the characters in escaping from the movie's main antagonist, [[Marcus]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Box Spiky Pika HGSS.png|frame|The {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon Storage System}} wallpaper featuring Spiky-eared Pichu]]
* A picture of a [[Pikachu short]] poster that featured Spiky-eared Pichu alongside {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} was leaked several days before this Pokémon was officially revealed.
* It was first mentioned at the end of a movie preview of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'' when movie director [[Kunihiko Yuyama]] talked about a "small, yellow Electric-type that would save the world."
* Spiky-eared Pichu's sprite in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is in a different pose than that of a normal Pichu, but she retains the two frames that a normal Pichu uses in her animation; thus, she is the only Pokémon to have three animation frames in [[Generation IV]].
* According to [[Shōko Nakagawa]]'s autobiography, {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|White Pichu}} was originally considered before being replaced by Spiky-eared Pichu.
* Spiky-eared Pichu was featured in a [[Pokémon Storage System#HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon Storage System]] wallpaper in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The wallpaper must be unlocked by telling [[Primo]] at the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center custom phrases using the [[easy chat system]]. The phrase for a given wallpaper depends on the player's game, [[Trainer ID]], and game language.
* Spiky-eared Pichu appears as a figure in the [[MC Fourth Generation|fourth generation]] of [[Monster Collection]].
* Spiky-eared Pichu appears as a [[Poké Doll (plush)|Poké Doll]] plush toy.
* Spiky-eared Pichu shares several similarities with {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}'s [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. Both are female-only variants of the {{p|Pikachu}} evolutionary line who were introduced in [[remake]]s. They are both incapable of evolving, breeding, or being transferred to later games. If used in a link battle involving games that predated them, they show up as regular forms of the Pokémon. They also both cannot be obtained {{Shiny}}, though Shiny variants exist in the game code for them. They also both appear as alternate costumes in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].
* Spiky-eared Pichu is the only Pokémon without a 3D model in the [[core series]] games.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash is approaching the next town on Izabe Island when a sudden surge in the river destroys the bridge he was about to cross. An Absol is spotted in the wreckage, and the locals arrive to capture it. The town's bridges were mysteriously destroyed after the usually reclusive Absol began to appear in town about a month ago, so people now blame Absol for the disasters.

Absol escapes, but the town has hired Absol hunters: Team Rocket in disguise! One boy, Nicky, still believes Absol is harmless—his brother, Gordon, set out to prove Absol's innocence weeks ago but never returned. Ash joins Nicky to find the truth, and they spot Absol just before a geyser erupts from a cliff, stranding Nicky, Max, and Pikachu. To everyone's surprise, Absol helps save the day, as does a Heracross that turns out to belong to Gordon.

Gordon has finally returned after learning more about Absol. With his help, our heroes figure out that Absol was trying to warn the townspeople about the spring that feeds the river. There's much more water in the spring than usual, which means it could burst and flood the town. Sure enough, the water bursts out of the rocks, and it takes everyone's Pokémon working together with Absol to divert the flood with a giant boulder.

A soggy Team Rocket makes a half-hearted attempt to nab Pikachu, but Absol puts a quick stop to that. With their homes now safe, the locals realize that Absol was harmless after all, and everyone is now a little wiser for the experience.

==Plot==
Continuing their trek across the rugged terrain of [[Izabe Island]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} reach a wooden bridge that leads to a nearby town. {{AP|Pikachu}} eagerly crosses when the bridge gives way because of the oddly powerful river current, sending him into the water below. However, with a feat of acrobatics, Pikachu manages to leap from the dangerous bridge onto Ash's head. As Ash recovers from the blow, he looks up and an {{p|Absol}}, a Pokémon known for heralding disaster, is standing just on the other side of the broken bridge. As Ash postulates that Absol's appearance is related to the destruction of the bridge, two armed villagers approach the Absol and begin to shout angrily at the Pokémon, claiming it's another bridge that Absol has destroyed. Absol evades capture easily, and Ash and company leave for nearby [[Riyado Town]] to inquire about Absol further. Apparently, a spate of minor disasters, including the destruction of three bridges, started with Absol's appearance several months ago. The villagers say that their problems should soon be over, though, because they've hired "expert Absol hunters", later revealed to be {{TRT}} in disguise, to rid the village of their problems. Meanwhile, Team Rocket decides to capture Pikachu instead of Absol, reasoning that giving Absol to {{an|Giovanni}} would result in disasters for them.

Right before Team Rocket is about to leave with Ash, though, a boy, {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} appears and shouts at Team Rocket, claiming that Absol would never be caught by their likes. It's soon revealed that Nicky's elder brother {{OBP|Gordon|AG107}}, had left town to catch an Absol because Gordon didn't believe that Absol caused disasters. Nicky reasons that if his brother can't catch an Absol, then Team Rocket can't either. While Team Rocket leaves on their hunt, Nicky, Ash, and his friends leave for a nearby mountaintop, hoping that from a higher vantage point they would have a better chance of catching Absol. However, just as the party passes some mysterious water-filled rocks and onto Izabe Island’s highest peak, Square Top, Absol finds them. As Absol advances on [[Max]] and Nicky, Pikachu cautions Absol with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. The two Pokémon reach a standoff, but just moments later, a flood of water erupts from the rocks behind them. Max, Nicky, Pikachu, and Absol are swept away by the flood, and the former three are caught on a branch over the side of the cliff. Nicky loses his grip and begins to fall, but Absol leaps to save him, convincing all present that Absol is actually a kindhearted Pokémon. Team Rocket also observes these events from afar.

Just then, the branch holding Max and Pikachu breaks. Ash calls out {{AP|Swellow}}, who saves Max, but Pikachu is rescued by a {{p|Heracross}} that belongs to Nicky's older brother, Gordon. Gordon explains that he's been tracking groups of Absol in other mountains to better understand them after saving the life of the wild Absol in his village's mountain. From his research, Gordon made a startling find, Absol only approach human settlements with good reason, that they don't actually cause disasters but often take the blame, and don't attack unless provoked. After some thinking, {{an|Brock}} realizes that the water pressure in the mountain's spring is building. Absol had been trying to warn everyone that the village will soon be flooded, while the increased water flow destroyed the bridges. Just then, a geyser of water erupts out of the side of the mountain, threatening to destroy Gordon's village.

Absol tries to knock over a giant boulder to block the water's path, and everyone present calls out their Pokémon to help, but the boulder doesn't budge. Absol moves into point blank range with its {{m|Hyper Beam}} and successfully diverts the boulder and the water flow, soaking Team Rocket in the process and washing away their ridiculous disguises. Absol, however, knocks Team Rocket away with {{m|Razor Wind}} before they can even make an attempt to capture Pikachu. Afterwards, the villagers are left with the realization that Absol has the power to predict disasters, not cause them, and that Absol is in fact a good Pokémon.

** However, starting in ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', a new name altogether would take its place as the national name: ''Projétil de Semente'', officialized by [[Pokémon GO]].

===Errors===
[[File:AG107 error.png|thumb|200px|May's missing shorts]]
* {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} says that [[Riyado Town#Square Top|Square Top]] is the highest mountain on the [[Izabe Island|island]]. However, when it is shown onscreen, the mountains in the background must be higher according to the rules of {{wp|Perspective (graphical)|perspective}}.
* When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are talking with {{OBP|Gordon|AG107}} about the water flow, {{an|May}}'s spandex shorts briefly disappear.

===Dub edits===
*When Team Rocket appears after the flood is prevented, they still act as though they are in their disguises in the English dub, talking about being Absol hunters. In the original Japanese version, they merely complain about being drenched.
====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which of these Pokémon does not evolve?
* Choices: {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, {{p|Goldeen}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose Relicanth, you were right!

Ghost (Pokémon Tower)

2026-04-08T18:14:01Z

Goyangi: overlooked on accident

[[File:Pokémon Tower Ghost Concept Art LGPE.png|thumb|300px|Concept art from {{LGPE}}]]
'''Ghosts''' (Japanese: '''ゆうれい''' ''{{wp|yūrei}}'') are disguised {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and, in one case, {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|the soul of a deceased Pokémon}}, that roam [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]].

==In the core series games==
In the [[Kanto]]-based games, before getting a [[Silph Scope]], several unidentified ghosts (in reality, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}}, or {{p|Cubone}}) appear in the Pokémon Tower.

In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the ghosts use the front sprite of the specific [[MissingNo.]] with the ghost form.

The identity of the ghosts can be revealed with the Silph Scope. Without the Silph Scope, ghosts appear as wild Pokémon in the Pokémon Tower, but cannot be battled.
In {{LGPE}}, if the player is touched by a ghost, they are warped back to the first floor of the Pokémon Tower. Furthermore, ghosts home in slowly on the player's location and (unlike even unmasked Ghost-types) can pass through walls while doing so.

===Marowak===
[[File:Ghost.png|thumb|250px|The Marowak ghost in {{LGPE}}]]
{{main|Marowak (ghost)}}
Another stronger ghost is revealed to be a mother {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}, which haunts the tower as a result of her death at the hands of [[Team Rocket]]. Even with the help of the Silph Scope, the Marowak ghost cannot be caught.

During the course of the game, the player must obtain the Silph Scope and becalm the ghost Marowak by battling her{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/reuniting her with her child, Cubone.{{sup/7|PE}}

===Battle mechanics===
:''See also: [[Marowak (ghost)#Battle mechanics|Marowak (ghost) → Battle mechanics]]''

As long as the ghosts are unidentified, they are named "Ghost" in battle, with a ghost image in place of the Pokémon sprite. Their [[level]] and full [[HP]] bar are shown normally. The player's Pokémon will be unable to use any [[move]]s on them because they are too scared, and the ghosts will not attack them either. If the player tries to [[caught Pokémon|catch]] them using any kind of [[Poké Ball]], the ghosts will dodge it (even while {{status|freeze|frozen}} or {{status|sleep}}ing), wasting the ball.

In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}:
* The unidentified ghosts do not have any [[cry]].
* The [[Pokédex]] still records the {{DL|Pokédex|Entries|seen data}} of the [[wild Pokémon]] even without the Silph Scope.
* If the games are played on a [[Super Game Boy]] (or on a [[Game Boy Color]], in the case of the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}), the ghost has the same color palette as that of the Pokémon it is hiding. This means that a ghost can be seen with two different and legitimate color palettes: that of Gastly and Haunter, and that of Cubone and Marowak. If the ghost appears due to a [[glitch]], a third palette is used.
* Players can exploit the {{DL|List of battle glitches in Generation I|Ghost identity unveiling|ghost glitch}} to make the ghost reveal itself by viewing the [[stats]] of any Pokémon in the player's [[party]], and then returning to the battle. However, this glitch is only graphical as it is still impossible to battle or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a ghost.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
* The unidentified ghosts emit the cry of the disguised Pokémon.
* The gender and Poké Ball symbol (the latter would normally appear if the species is recorded as caught in the Pokédex) are absent for unidentified ghosts.
* The Pokédex does not record any seen data of the unidentified [[wild Pokémon]].
* The unidentified ghost can spawn with a [[personality value]] that would make it {{pkmn2|Shiny}}, but this does not have any visible difference. It does not sparkle and it remains with the same color palette.

==Quotes==
* When trying to attack a ghost without the Silph Scope
:''"Get out...... Get out......"''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:''"Get out... Begone..."''{{sup/7|PE}}

* Directly before encountering the Marowak ghost
:''"Be gone... Intruders..."''

==Gallery==

Ghost (Pokémon Tower)

2026-04-08T18:13:21Z

Goyangi: Again, individual Pokémon with known genders can and should be referred to with their actual pronouns, especially when directly called a mother or father. Intentionally misgendering them for the sake of being like the games is fundamentally illogical.

[[File:Pokémon Tower Ghost Concept Art LGPE.png|thumb|300px|Concept art from {{LGPE}}]]
'''Ghosts''' (Japanese: '''ゆうれい''' ''{{wp|yūrei}}'') are disguised {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and, in one case, {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|the soul of a deceased Pokémon}}, that roam [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]].

==In the core series games==
In the [[Kanto]]-based games, before getting a [[Silph Scope]], several unidentified ghosts (in reality, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}}, or {{p|Cubone}}) appear in the Pokémon Tower.

In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the ghosts use the front sprite of the specific [[MissingNo.]] with the ghost form.

The identity of the ghosts can be revealed with the Silph Scope. Without the Silph Scope, ghosts appear as wild Pokémon in the Pokémon Tower, but cannot be battled.
In {{LGPE}}, if the player is touched by a ghost, they are warped back to the first floor of the Pokémon Tower. Furthermore, ghosts home in slowly on the player's location and (unlike even unmasked Ghost-types) can pass through walls while doing so.

===Marowak===
[[File:Ghost.png|thumb|250px|The Marowak ghost in {{LGPE}}]]
{{main|Marowak (ghost)}}
Another stronger ghost is revealed to be a mother {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}, which haunts the tower as a result of her death at the hands of [[Team Rocket]]. Even with the help of the Silph Scope, the Marowak ghost cannot be caught.

During the course of the game, the player must obtain the Silph Scope and becalm the ghost Marowak by battling it{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/reuniting it with her child, Cubone.{{sup/7|PE}}

===Battle mechanics===
:''See also: [[Marowak (ghost)#Battle mechanics|Marowak (ghost) → Battle mechanics]]''

As long as the ghosts are unidentified, they are named "Ghost" in battle, with a ghost image in place of the Pokémon sprite. Their [[level]] and full [[HP]] bar are shown normally. The player's Pokémon will be unable to use any [[move]]s on them because they are too scared, and the ghosts will not attack them either. If the player tries to [[caught Pokémon|catch]] them using any kind of [[Poké Ball]], the ghosts will dodge it (even while {{status|freeze|frozen}} or {{status|sleep}}ing), wasting the ball.

In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}:
* The unidentified ghosts do not have any [[cry]].
* The [[Pokédex]] still records the {{DL|Pokédex|Entries|seen data}} of the [[wild Pokémon]] even without the Silph Scope.
* If the games are played on a [[Super Game Boy]] (or on a [[Game Boy Color]], in the case of the international releases of {{game|Yellow}}), the ghost has the same color palette as that of the Pokémon it is hiding. This means that a ghost can be seen with two different and legitimate color palettes: that of Gastly and Haunter, and that of Cubone and Marowak. If the ghost appears due to a [[glitch]], a third palette is used.
* Players can exploit the {{DL|List of battle glitches in Generation I|Ghost identity unveiling|ghost glitch}} to make the ghost reveal itself by viewing the [[stats]] of any Pokémon in the player's [[party]], and then returning to the battle. However, this glitch is only graphical as it is still impossible to battle or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a ghost.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
* The unidentified ghosts emit the cry of the disguised Pokémon.
* The gender and Poké Ball symbol (the latter would normally appear if the species is recorded as caught in the Pokédex) are absent for unidentified ghosts.
* The Pokédex does not record any seen data of the unidentified [[wild Pokémon]].
* The unidentified ghost can spawn with a [[personality value]] that would make it {{pkmn2|Shiny}}, but this does not have any visible difference. It does not sparkle and it remains with the same color palette.

==Quotes==
* When trying to attack a ghost without the Silph Scope
:''"Get out...... Get out......"''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}
:''"Get out... Begone..."''{{sup/7|PE}}

* Directly before encountering the Marowak ghost
:''"Be gone... Intruders..."''

Marowak (ghost)

2026-04-08T18:09:55Z

Goyangi: Undo revision 4524945 by Landfish7 (talk) You are literally the only one on here who believes this should be done. Brand standard refers to the games, not Bulbapedia, and Bulbapedia therefore has the liberty to do the right thing and refer to gendered Pokémon by their proper pronouns instead of continuing to intentionally misgender them.

The '''ghost of a Marowak''' haunts the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]]. This {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} is the mother of a {{p|Cubone}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Ghost.png|thumb|left|250px|The Marowak ghost before the [[Silph Scope]] unmasks her in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, before the {{player}} reaches Lavender Town, members of [[Team Rocket]] invade the Pokémon Tower and attempt to steal the skulls of {{p|Cubone}} in order to sell them for large amounts of {{pkmn|Dollar|money}}. One Cubone, however, was protected by its mother. The Cubone escaped, but its mother was killed. As a result, the Marowak's ghost remained in the Pokémon Tower, forbidding access to the topmost floor. She appears as a {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} that prevents the player from ascending to the top floor until they obtain the [[Silph Scope]] to identify her.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, the player has to battle Marowak to calm her down. Once she is defeated, her soul is calmed, and she departs to the afterlife, granting the player passage to the top floor.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, if the player does not have the Silph Scope and finds Marowak as an unrevealed ghost, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] Pikachu or Eevee will be scared and stop the player from trying to go near her. If the player has the Silph Scope in the Bag, then a cutscene will start where {{ga|Trace}} reminds the player to use it. Once the player reveals Marowak, her child Cubone calms Marowak's spirit and Marowak departs without a battle.
{{-}}

===Battle mechanics===
The ghost Marowak is found on [[Pokémon Tower]] 6F, blocking the stairs to the seventh floor. In Generations I and III, approaching the stairs automatically triggers a {{pkmn|battle}} against her. If the player has the [[Silph Scope]] in their [[Bag]], the battle starts with a short animation where the ghost is revealed as Marowak (although [[Ghost (Pokémon Tower)|other ghosts]] found in Pokémon Tower lack this transition when identified by the Silph Scope).

This Marowak is not treated as a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon despite the fact that she is a [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]], and thus is still affected by {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves. If the player tries to [[caught Pokémon|catch]] her using any kind of [[Poké Ball]], Marowak will dodge it (even while {{status|freeze|frozen}} or {{status|sleep}}ing), wasting the ball.

If the player battles against her multiple times in the same game, Marowak will always start each battle fully healed. If the player [[escape]]s from or [[black out|blacks out]] during the battle, Marowak will remain blocking the way until she is defeated. Even if Marowak faints when the player blacks out (such as from {{m|Self-Destruct}}), this does not count as defeating her.

If the ghost Marowak is unidentified because the player does not have the Silph Scope, much like other Pokémon Tower ghosts, she is named "Ghost" in battle, with a ghost image in place of the Pokémon sprite. Her [[level]] and full [[HP]] bar are shown normally. The player's Pokémon will be unable to use any [[move]]s on her because they are too scared, and the ghost Marowak will not attack them either.

====Generation I====
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the ghost Marowak's [[individual values]] are randomly generated like those of any wild Pokémon, with new values generated in each battle against her. Although Marowak's [[gender]] and {{Shiny|Shininess}} are not visible in [[Generation I]], she can spawn with IVs that would make her either male or female, with a chance of being Shiny, if she were in the [[Generation II]] games.

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Ghost Marowak bypassing|a glitch}}, if the player uses a [[Poké Doll]] against Marowak (revealed or not), this will make her flee the fight and allow the player to pass on as if she were defeated. This glitch allows the player to completely skip the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] in [[Celadon City]] because there will be no need to obtain the Silph Scope. The player can also [[sequence breaking|break the gameplay sequence]] and go to the Team Rocket Hideout at any point later. Similarly, if the player finishes the battle by using {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} on Marowak (only possible if it is revealed), the game treats Marowak as being defeated as well.

As with other Pokémon Tower ghosts, the [[Pokédex]] still records Marowak as "seen" if the player tries to start a battle against this Pokémon without the Silph Scope.

Although there is no other wild Marowak legitimately found in the Pokémon Tower, there are some quirks as a result of how this was programmed in this generation:
* A battle against any wild Marowak found on Pokémon Tower 3F-7F would start with a ghost revealing animation.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/engine/battle/common_text.asm#L58</ref>
* Any wild Marowak found on Pokémon Tower 6F would be unable to be caught, dodging and wasting all Poké Balls thrown at her.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L174</ref> If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on Pokémon Tower 6F, its original species is used to determine whether it can be caught, not its transformed species.

====Generation III====
[[File:Shiny Marowak ghost.png|thumb|right|Shiny ghost Marowak in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the ghost Marowak is always female, with a perfect 31 in all IVs, and her [[Nature]] is Serious. This Marowak's [[personality value]] is randomly generated like that of any wild Pokémon, with a chance of being {{pkmn2|Shiny}}. The personality value rerolls as many times as needed until Marowak has the correct gender and Nature.<ref name="FRLG stats 1"/><ref name="FRLG stats 2"/>

Even if the ghost Marowak is Shiny, she does not display the usual sparkling animation at the start of the battle (the game only shows the ghost revealing animation instead). If the player battles the ghost Marowak multiple times in the same game, her personality value is randomly generated again in each battle, allowing her to alternate between Shiny and non-Shiny.

Like other ghosts, if this Marowak is unidentified because the player does not have the Silph Scope, then the gender and Poké Ball icon (which normally appears if the species is recorded as caught in the Pokédex) are absent, and being Shiny makes no visible difference because the ghost sprite remains the same color palette.

In this generation, the ghost Marowak will remain blocking the way even if the player finishes the battle by using the [[Poké Doll]] (regardless of Marowak being revealed), or by using the moves {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} on Marowak (only possible if she is revealed). The [[Pokédex]] does not record Marowak as "seen" if the ghost Marowak is unidentified.

The Marowak ghost appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where she played the same role that she does in the {{pkmn|games}}, warning intruders to stay away. The Marowak and her child {{p|Cubone}} used to live peacefully until Team Rocket began poaching Pokémon in the area. When they attempted to capture Cubone as well, Marowak stepped in to protect it, only to be killed with a stun baton while her child was running away.

After her death, Marowak haunted the Pokémon Tower to warn people of Team Rocket, who had taken it over. When {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} went inside to drive Team Rocket out, he saw the ghost and ran away from her, terrified. {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, however, decided to be brave and fight Marowak with his {{p|Charmeleon}}, but his Pokémon's attacks wouldn't work on her. When Blue returned to give Red the [[Silph Scope]], Red was able to identify the ghost and reveal her true identity.

Before he could continue their {{pkmn|battle}}, Marowak's child Cubone came rushing in and embraced its deceased mother. Having found peace in seeing her child once again, Marowak's spirit calmed down and moved on to the afterlife.

[[File:Marowak ghost Zensho.png|thumb|150px|Marowak's ghost in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
===Pokémon Zensho===
In [[PZ05]], the ghost Marowak appeared when {{zensho|Satoshi}} was being attacked by [[Giovanni]] at the Pokémon Tower. Due to her immunity to physical moves, she defeated the {{p|Machamp}} spirit that Giovanni had summoned, leading him to withdraw Team Rocket from the tower. Afterwards, Mr. Fuji was able to calm the ghost down and allow her to pass on into the afterlife.

Unlike other depictions of the ghost Marowak, the Zensho manga's version of the ghost Marowak had her initially take the form of a {{p|Haunter}} and even gave her the abilities of one, allowing her to use {{m|Dream Eater}}.
{{-}}

==In the guidebooks==
===''The Official Pokémon Handbook''===
In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook|The Official Pokémon Handbook: Deluxe Edition]]'', {{p|Marowak}}'s Pokédex entry includes this excerpt about the ghost Marowak: ''"According to legend, an angry mother Marowak, upset by the cruel deaths of her children, haunts Pokémon Tower. If you defeat her in battle, her spirit will finally be at peace."''

==Trivia==
* Marowak's quote of '''"Begone... Intruders..."''' was used at the beginning of the song {{OBP|Ghost Dive|song}}.
* This ghost Marowak is one of the few [[wild Pokémon]] encountered by the player after the player has access to [[Poké Ball]]s that is impossible to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. However, unlike the other cases, it is possible to throw Poké Balls at the ghost Marowak. The only others that share this trait are:
** The {{fd|Kyurem|Black}} {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{fd|Kyurem|White}} Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} in {{B2W2}},
** {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}},

** Unfused {{p|Calyrex}} and either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} at [[Freezington]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* Twenty years after this ghost Marowak's appearance, a Ghost-type Marowak would be introduced in Sun and Moon as a [[regional form]].
* In [[Pokémon Origins]], her Cubone offspring is shown wearing its skull in the flashback, despite the Marowak not even having died yet.

The '''ghost of a Marowak''' haunts the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]]. This {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} is the mother of a {{p|Cubone}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Ghost.png|thumb|left|250px|The Marowak ghost before the [[Silph Scope]] unmasks her in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, before the {{player}} reaches Lavender Town, members of [[Team Rocket]] invade the Pokémon Tower and attempt to steal the skulls of {{p|Cubone}} in order to sell them for large amounts of {{pkmn|Dollar|money}}. One Cubone, however, was protected by its mother. The Cubone escaped, but its mother was killed. As a result, the Marowak's ghost remained in the Pokémon Tower, forbidding access to the topmost floor. She appears as a {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} that prevents the player from ascending to the top floor until they obtain the [[Silph Scope]] to identify her.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen, the player has to battle Marowak to calm her down. Once she is defeated, her soul is calmed, and she departs to the afterlife, granting the player passage to the top floor.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, if the player does not have the Silph Scope and finds Marowak as an unrevealed ghost, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] Pikachu or Eevee will be scared and stop the player from trying to go near her. If the player has the Silph Scope in the Bag, then a cutscene will start where {{ga|Trace}} reminds the player to use it. Once the player reveals Marowak, her child Cubone calms Marowak's spirit and Marowak departs without a battle.
{{-}}

===Battle mechanics===
The ghost Marowak is found on [[Pokémon Tower]] 6F, blocking the stairs to the seventh floor. In Generations I and III, approaching the stairs automatically triggers a {{pkmn|battle}} against her. If the player has the [[Silph Scope]] in their [[Bag]], the battle starts with a short animation where the ghost is revealed as Marowak (although [[Ghost (Pokémon Tower)|other ghosts]] found in Pokémon Tower lack this transition when identified by the Silph Scope).

This Marowak is not treated as a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon despite the fact that she is a [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]], and thus is still affected by {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} moves. If the player tries to [[caught Pokémon|catch]] her using any kind of [[Poké Ball]], Marowak will dodge it (even while {{status|freeze|frozen}} or {{status|sleep}}ing), wasting the ball.

If the player battles against her multiple times in the same game, Marowak will always start each battle fully healed. If the player [[escape]]s from or [[black out|blacks out]] during the battle, Marowak will remain blocking the way until she is defeated. Even if Marowak faints when the player blacks out (such as from {{m|Self-Destruct}}), this does not count as defeating her.

If the ghost Marowak is unidentified because the player does not have the Silph Scope, much like other Pokémon Tower ghosts, she is named "Ghost" in battle, with a ghost image in place of the Pokémon sprite. Her [[level]] and full [[HP]] bar are shown normally. The player's Pokémon will be unable to use any [[move]]s on her because they are too scared, and the ghost Marowak will not attack them either.

====Generation I====
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the ghost Marowak's [[individual values]] are randomly generated like those of any wild Pokémon, with new values generated in each battle against her. Although Marowak's [[gender]] and {{Shiny|Shininess}} are not visible in [[Generation I]], she can spawn with IVs that would make her either male or female, with a chance of being Shiny, if she were in the [[Generation II]] games.

Due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Ghost Marowak bypassing|a glitch}}, if the player uses a [[Poké Doll]] against Marowak (revealed or not), this will make her flee the fight and allow the player to pass on as if she were defeated. This glitch allows the player to completely skip the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] in [[Celadon City]] because there will be no need to obtain the Silph Scope. The player can also [[sequence breaking|break the gameplay sequence]] and go to the Team Rocket Hideout at any point later. Similarly, if the player finishes the battle by using {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} on Marowak (only possible if it is revealed), the game treats Marowak as being defeated as well.

As with other Pokémon Tower ghosts, the [[Pokédex]] still records Marowak as "seen" if the player tries to start a battle against this Pokémon without the Silph Scope.

Although there is no other wild Marowak legitimately found in the Pokémon Tower, there are some quirks as a result of how this was programmed in this generation:
* A battle against any wild Marowak found on Pokémon Tower 3F-7F would start with a ghost revealing animation.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/engine/battle/common_text.asm#L58</ref>
* Any wild Marowak found on Pokémon Tower 6F would be unable to be caught, dodging and wasting all Poké Balls thrown at her.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm#L174</ref> If a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on Pokémon Tower 6F, its original species is used to determine whether it can be caught, not its transformed species.

====Generation III====
[[File:Shiny Marowak ghost.png|thumb|right|Shiny ghost Marowak in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the ghost Marowak is always female, with a perfect 31 in all IVs, and her [[Nature]] is Serious. This Marowak's [[personality value]] is randomly generated like that of any wild Pokémon, with a chance of being {{pkmn2|Shiny}}. The personality value rerolls as many times as needed until Marowak has the correct gender and Nature.<ref name="FRLG stats 1"/><ref name="FRLG stats 2"/>

Even if the ghost Marowak is Shiny, she does not display the usual sparkling animation at the start of the battle (the game only shows the ghost revealing animation instead). If the player battles the ghost Marowak multiple times in the same game, her personality value is randomly generated again in each battle, allowing her to alternate between Shiny and non-Shiny.

Like other ghosts, if this Marowak is unidentified because the player does not have the Silph Scope, then the gender and Poké Ball icon (which normally appears if the species is recorded as caught in the Pokédex) are absent, and being Shiny makes no visible difference because the ghost sprite remains the same color palette.

In this generation, the ghost Marowak will remain blocking the way even if the player finishes the battle by using the [[Poké Doll]] (regardless of Marowak being revealed), or by using the moves {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Whirlwind}} on Marowak (only possible if she is revealed). The [[Pokédex]] does not record Marowak as "seen" if the ghost Marowak is unidentified.

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

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|250px|Nurse Joy before {{aniseries|BW}}]]
Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, Pewter City's Nurse Joy called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

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

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

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

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

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] when its bulb was glowing. She revealed to Ash that Bulbasaur was about to evolve and told him about a place called the [[Mysterious Garden]], where Bulbasaur supposedly gather to evolve together in a festival.

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

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

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

Ash and his friends found a Pokémon Center on [[Valencia Island]] in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. There, Nurse Joy directed them to [[Professor Ivy]]'s laboratory and stated that she was the second cousin of the sister-in-law of [[Saffron City]]'s Nurse Joy.

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

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

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a tan and muscular Nurse Joy Ash and his friends met on an {{OBP|unnamed island|EP092}} went from island to island to help sick and injured Pokémon. She was friends with a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}} that she had known for years. She invited the group to her local clinic for lunch, where they volunteered to help out Nurse Joy on taking care of the sick Pokémon. Later, while Joy was attempting to help baby {{p|Seel}}, Team Rocket arrived and trapped the group in a net. They were saved when the giant Magikarp evolved into {{p|Gyarados}}, allowing Nurse Joy to take care of the baby Seel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] visited a Kantonian Nurse Joy after {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} was {{status|poison}}ed by a wild {{p|Venonat}}'s {{m|Poison Powder}}. She briefly took Scorbunny into her care and healed it.

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

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

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

[[File:Alternate World Nurse Joy.png|thumb|250px|Alternate World Nurse Joy]]
An alternate version of Nurse Joy from the {{pkmn|multiverse#In animation|Alternate World}} appeared in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. She operates the Pokémon Center in [[Sandgem Town]].

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', a Nurse Joy was revealed to have lost her [[Substitute (doll)|substitute doll]] when her family moved in her childhood. This doll was later reborn as a {{p|Banette}} and started searching for its owner. Thanks to Ash and his friends, Banette was reunited with Nurse Joy and became her assistant.

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

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

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

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

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

===''I Choose You!'' trilogy===
[[File:Nurse Joy M20.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Three Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is part of a [[I Choose You! trilogy|trilogy]] set in a different continuity from the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

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

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

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

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

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

A Galarian Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[HZ023|Fiery Galarian Moltres]]''.

In ''[[HZ094|The Pokémon Center Lady]]'', several Nurse Joys appeared. During the episode, it was revealed that they are family members of [[Mollie]]. During the episode, [[Mollie's mother]], an older Nurse Joy, was also seen.

====Appearance====
Nurse Joy appears as a female adult human with a fair skin tone and magenta hair.

From Generations I-IV, Nurse Joy wore a short light pink dress with puffy sleeves overlapped with a white apron. A bow was seen in the rear of the dress in which served as the tying of the apron. Her footwear consisted of white Mary Janes shoes. In Generation V, Nurse Joy's appearance altered, showing her dress with a little longer sleeves, partially covering the elbows. The white apron covered solely around the shirt area with a bow in the rear, serving as the tie-up. In addition, her legs were obscured in white tights, and her Mary Jane shoes matched the color of her dress. In Generation VI, Nurse Joy wore a dress with three-quarter sleeves and an apron almost completely covering the dress. The apron also had pockets by the corners. In Generation VII, Joy wore a short-sleeved dress in pink and white, while a pink apron covered the skirt area. Her footwear also featured flat sandals.

Episodes in the animated series have featured Nurse Joy in many different outlooks, involving her outfits and skin tone.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nurse Joy photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo of the Nurse Joys from Kalos]]
* According to the September 1997 issue of {{DL|Celadon Condominiums|On the Game Freak website|Pokémon Journal}}, Nurse Joy was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and her original design went through several iterations, one of which was used as base for [[Officer Jenny]]'s original design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19971016215515/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM September 1997 issue of Pokémon Journal]</ref>
* Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|Voiced palato-alveolar affricate|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Every Nurse Joy in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] can be easily told apart by the color of the cross on their hat, while Nurse Joys in [[Kalos]] are told apart by the color of the badge on their lapel. Colors can repeat in different regions, however.
* Nurse Joy is the third character in the English dub to have her original voice actress reprise her role following [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|the voice actor switch]], after {{an|Giovanni}} and [[Raoul Contesta]].
** Both of Nurse Joy's voice actresses during the [[4Kids Entertainment]] [[dub]], [[Megan Hollingshead]] and [[Bella Hudson]], have reprised their roles at one point since [[The Pokémon Company International]] took over the dubbing of the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
** Nurse Joy is the only female character with this distinction, and the only one who wasn’t voiced by [[Craig Blair]] prior to regaining her original voice actress.
* Nurse Joy was the first character from a previous series to appear in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grovyle}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Sceptile}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Treecko is one of the three [[Hoenn first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits covered with tiny spikes. These spikes allow it to scale vertical walls with ease. Its stomach and throat are red. It also has a line across its stomach resembling a pouch. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes that it uses to sense humidity. This ability allows it to predict the next day's weather.

Treecko is rarely found in the wild and is more common in captivity. However, when in the wild, Treecko lives inside {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|overgrown forests}}. It makes its home in tall trees and will attack anyone that comes near its nest. Because of its territorial nature, it is known to be the protector of the forest's trees. Treecko is known for its calm and collected personality. It will never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Treecko has been observed occasionally moving its feet while asleep. It is believed that Treecko is dreaming about climbing walls. Treecko has four different sleep styles: ''Seated Sleep'', ''Face-Rubbing Sleep'', ''Dream-Scaling Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

===Evolution===
Treecko evolves into {{p|Grovyle}}, which evolves into {{p|Sceptile}}.

When he was finally destined to meet his partner, the huge rainstorms caused by {{p|Kyogre}} sent him and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after he had finally been recovered by {{adv|Wally}} and evolved, he was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Treecko concept art.png|thumb|200px|Concept art of Treecko]]
* Concept art showed numerous designs of Treecko resembling real-world geckos.
* Treecko was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Rathalos treecko'', a species of spider. The species name was chosen in reference to both Treecko and the discovered spider being found in the forest.<ref name="yejie lin">[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309124205/https://www.zootax.com.cn/CN/abstract/abstract296.shtml Twenty-three new spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia]</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}}. Its design specifically shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages and can also climb up flat surfaces. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Treecko is a combination of ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 9 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archived on Internet Archive])</ref>

Kimori may be a combination of 木 ''ki'' (tree) and 森 ''mori'' (forest), 守宮 ''yamori'' (gecko), or 守り ''mori'' (keeper).

Stephanie's father

2026-04-04T18:52:49Z

Goyangi: /* Pokémon */I thought the policy was that traditional gendered appearances didn't mean anything?

{{Unknown name}}
[[File:Stephanie father.png|250px|thumb|Stephanie's father]]
'''Stephanie's father''' is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]''. He is the father of the starting {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{OBP|Stephanie|AG034}}.

He accompanied his daughter to the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]] so she could choose her [[first partner Pokémon]]. After his daughter chose {{p|Mudkip}}, the {{p|Treecko}} attracted his attention, and he asked [[Nurse Joy]] if he could have it as his own first partner Pokémon. Nurse Joy allowed him to be its Trainer, saying it was never too late to start.

Talk:Sweet Scent (move)

Goyangi: /* Powder portrayal */ new section

==Faded scent==
In Pearl, I only seem to get a faded scent. Is there some requirement for it to make a Pokémon appear? [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 15:49, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

U gotta do it in grass!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 15:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:I'm not that stupid, but when I do.. It always has said it faded. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']]([[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]]) 16:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
::I received the "faded scent" message once when I tried to use Sweet Scent on Route 228 - the one with a Sandstorm. Perhaps it fades whenever the weather is anything but clear? --[[User:TwinsMetsFan|'''TMF''']] [[User talk:TwinsMetsFan|Let's Go Mets]] - [[Special:Contributions/TwinsMetsFan|Stats]] 04:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
:::If that's the case, at least address it in the actual article or talk to an admin about it... [[User:Ht14|ht14]] 04:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
::::It is the case. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Repel and Sweet Scent ==

When I was playing my Crystal, I tried to find roaming pokemon (Raikou) by putting a pokémon (a level 36 Victreebel) in front that was a lower level than Raikou (according to your Pokédex, level 40), but still higher than the wild pokémon in that area. I used a repel so that the wild pokémon would not appear, then used sweet scent, but a random wild pokémon would still appear. Does a repel not affect sweet scent, or does Crystal require a pokémon to appear, even if it violates the repel (since a pokémon of high enough level is not in the area)? [[User:Bob.com bob|Bob.com bob]] 04:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

:Sweet Scent's effect triggers as normal even if a Repel is in play. In short, Sweet Scent overrides Repel. Your best bet to chase roaming legendaries is to bring tons of Repel and keep moving. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

== Is the disambiguation page necessary? ==

At the moment, searching for "Sweet Scent" takes you to a disambiguation page, asking if you'd like to visit this article about the move, or a short article about an e-Reader application. Given that most people are likely to be searching for the move, would it be more sensible to make the Sweet Scent page a redirect to this article, but include a note here along the lines of "''This article is about the move introduced in Generation II. For the e-Reader application, see [[Sweet Scent (e-Reader)]].''"? [[User:Ben10do|–Ben10do]] ([[User talk:Ben10do|talk]]) 18:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
:I agree it should redirect to the move. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 20:36, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

== Field abilities ==

Which of [[:Category:Abilities_that_affect_appearance_of_wild_Pokémon|these abilities]] can be activated by using sweet scent outside of battle? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 06:14, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

== Repel and Sweet Scent ==
I've found this is still true in HGSS (and not only when trying to encounter a roaming pokemon). This really ought to be tested in more games and noted properly on the page. [[User:Pinsplash|Pinsplash]] ([[User talk:Pinsplash|talk]]) 12:41, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

== Powder portrayal ==

I don't think Sweet Scent is actually portrayed as a powder in the anime. I think it's just meant to make the scent visible.[[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 23:45, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Jessica (XY008)

2026-03-26T16:36:12Z

Goyangi: /* Pokémon */Upon further research, it is not Michele Knotz who voices Furfrou.

[[File:Jessica XY008.png|thumb|250px|Jessica]]
'''Jessica''' (Japanese: '''ジェシカ''' ''Jessica'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]''. She is an apprentice [[Pokémon groomer]] who works under the tutelage of her master, [[Sherman]].

Jessica had been struggling to groom her own {{p|Furfrou}} because they had not bonded with one another. She met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} when her runaway Furfrou bumped into {{an|Bonnie}} and injured her. After apologizing to the group for Bonnie's injury, Jessica took them to a Pokémon Groomer salon shop where she worked. Inside, she taught them the basics of Furfrou grooming and some things to look out for. After Sherman was finished with two Furfrou with the Kabuki and La Reine Trims, he recommended that Jessica enjoy her lunch break and show Ash and his friends around the city.

Outside, Jessica and the others were taken to a fake salon operated by {{TRT}} for their latest scheme. While she had her suspicions, namely because she was unfamiliar with [[Jessie]]'s stylist alter-ego "Jessally", {{an|Serena}} left her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} there. Later, Jessica helped the group retrieve Fennekin after [[Officer Jenny]] informed them about a fake salon. While Ash battled Team Rocket, Jessica's Furfrou was captured, and she developed the courage to destroy the electrical cage holding Furfrou, causing it to develop a newfound respect for its Trainer. Jessica had Furfrou send Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Jessica gave Furfrou a trim for the first time.

'''Rain Dance''' (Japanese: '''あまごい''' ''Rain Prayer'') is a non-damaging {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is:
* [[TM18]] from Generation II to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM33]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM050]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==Effect==
===Generation II===
When this move is used, a [[rain]]fall will start on the field which will last for five turns. This clears any other [[weather]] and it's possible to use it even if it is already raining.

While Rain Dance is in effect, the base damage of {{type|Water}} moves will be increased by 50%, whereas the base damage of {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{type|Fire}} moves will be decreased by 50%. Additionally, {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover only half as much HP as under clear conditions. {{m|Thunder}} ignores {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} under the effect of Rain Dance.

===Generation III to VIII===
If a [[Damp Rock]] is held when Rain Dance is used, the duration of rainfall is lengthened from 5 to 8 turns. Rain Dance will fail if it's already raining. {{m|Hurricane}} ignores {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} under the effect of Rain Dance. In Diamond and Pearl only, the move Thunder has a 30% chance of bypassing {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}} under Rain Dance.

A Pokémon with {{a|Rain Dish}} will restore 1/16 its maximum HP to itself after every turn, with {{a|Swift Swim}} will be twice as {{stat|Speed|fast}} in the rain, with the {{a|Dry Skin}} Ability will regain ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn, and with {{a|Hydration}} will have their existing [[status condition]]s cured at the end of each turn. {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|Morning Sun}} only restore ¼ of the user's maximum HP.

Additionally, Pokémon with {{a|Forecast}} transform into the {{t|Water}} type and {{m|Weather Ball}} becomes a Water-type move.

Rain Dance can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Bubble}}, {{m|Bubble Beam|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Crabhammer}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Muddy Water}}, {{m|Octazooka}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Water Sport}}, {{m|Water Spout}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, and {{m|Withdraw}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves ({{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Water Sport}} and {{m|Weather Ball}}) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Rain called by Rain Dance does not allow {{p|Sliggoo}} to evolve into {{p|Goodra}}.

If [[Rain|heavy rain]], [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], or [[strong winds]] are present, Rain Dance will fail.

If powered up by a [[Waterium Z]] into Z-Rain Dance, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

===Generation IX===
Rain Dance can no longer override weather in the overworld.

==Trivia==
* This move was [[Blastoise_(Base_Set_2)|Blastoise's]] [[Pokémon Power (TCG)|Pokémon Power]] (as ''あまごい'' / ''Rain Prayer'' in Japanese and as ''Rain Dance'' in English) in the [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game |TCG]] prior to being introduced in Generation II of the games.
* In Generation II, Rain Dance was the only Water-type move that could be taught via [[TM]].
* In Generation III, Rain Dance starts a [[Contest combination]] with 19 possible finishing moves, the most of any combination
* Prior to Generation VIII, {{p|Bronzong}} was the only Pokémon able to learn Rain Dance by leveling up that could not learn any moves or have any [[Ability|Abilities]] that benefited from {{Weather|rain}}. This may be related to its Pokédex entries, several of which mention Bronzong's natural power to summon rain clouds. With the addition of Weather Ball to its movepool in Generation VIII, this is no longer the case.
* The original Japanese name of this move is unrelated to dancing, therefore this is not a [[:Category:Dance moves|dance move]]. As such, Rain Dance is unaffected by {{a|Dancer}}, and [[Tierno]] does not request to see a Pokémon with this move in {{g|X and Y}}.
** Even if it were a dance move, it would fail if called via Dancer, as Rain Dance fails if it's already raining.
* Rain Dance is based on [http://shinto.enacademic.com/13/Amagoi ''amagoi''], Shinto prayer and rituals for rain. Its English name comes from the fact that some of its varieties include dance rituals.

==Blurb==

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it's an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!

Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids' Pokémon so it can even the "imbalance" between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash's protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew!

==Plot==
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}, wanting to find a way to restore life by cloning, leads an expedition to [[Guyana]] after finding evidence of a shrine dedicated to {{p|Mew}}, the world's most powerful—but now said to be extinct—Pokémon. {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]], funds Fuji's research in return for an enhanced, living replica of Mew. Finding a fossilized eyelash of Mew, Fuji and his team create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Upon gaining consciousness, a confused Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. Just then, Mewtwo fully wakes up in a stasis tube in one of Fuji's laboratories, where the scientists study it. Mewtwo breaks out of its test tube; Dr. Fuji tells Mewtwo that it was made by [[human]]s and is a clone of, but much more powerful than Mew. Mewtwo is angry that the scientists see it more as a result of their project and less of a sentient being, so it destroys the lab and kills all of the scientists. Dr. Fuji says to himself that he succeeded in creating the world's most powerful Pokémon before dying at the hands of his creation. Then, Giovanni arrives in his private helicopter and offers to help Mewtwo focus its powers. Mewtwo takes up the offer and is put in a suit of armor.

Over the next few weeks, Mewtwo does most of Team Rocket's dirty work, capturing [[wild Pokémon]] and beating any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that challenges the [[Viridian Gym]], including [[Gary Oak]]. When Giovanni tells Mewtwo that its purpose is to serve him and obey humans, claiming it could never be their equal, Mewtwo angrily blasts away, destroying its armor and the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, and vows from atop the island it was created to begin its reign on Earth.

[[File:Messenger Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dragonite shows up to deliver an invitation]]
Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are preparing for lunch when a Trainer named [[Raymond]] shows up and challenges Ash. With his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, Ash easily beats Raymond. What Ash doesn't realize is that he's being watched, not only by Team Rocket, but by a mysterious third party. Team Rocket watch hungrily as the [[twerp]]s eat {{an|Brock}}'s cooking. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} flies in with a letter for Ash and his friends. It projects a hologram of a mysterious woman who tells the Trainers to head to [[Old Shore Wharf]] to get to an island fortress called [[New Island]].

Later, as a storm brews, Ash and his friends arrives at the [[Pokémon Center]], whose [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for a while now. [[Officer Jenny]] informs the gathered Trainers that the ferry to New Island has been canceled. {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}, the piermaster, tells them that she has lived on the pier all her life and that the current storm is the fiercest she's ever seen. She tells a story to everyone present about how some people died in a storm many years ago; however, legend has it that the tears of a Pokémon restored the people to life.

Soon, most of the other Pokémon Trainers—ignoring Jenny and Miranda's warnings—take off for New Island. Ash and his friends are eager to follow, but none of their Pokémon are strong enough to handle the giant waves. Team Rocket, under disguise, gives Ash and friends a boat ride. Later, Team Rocket's disguise was uncovered. However, the storm proves too much for them, and as the strong wind and waves hit against the boat, it capsizes and everyone is sent into the ocean. Ash and his friends save themselves by using Ash's Squirtle and [[Misty's Staryu]] to get to New Island.

As the heroes barely arrive at New Island, the mystery woman from the hologram letter greets them and takes them to the dining room to meet the other Trainers who arrived safely. Brock says that she looked familiar, however, the woman denies it and shows them to the castle.

Meanwhile, as Team Rocket tries to get inside the fortress, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Mew|M01}} senses something troubling and arrives at New Island, and follows closely behind Team Rocket.

[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo greets Trainers to New Island]]
As they arrive in the dining room, Ash and his friends meet three Pokémon Trainers named [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and [[Corey]]. Just then, the mystery woman introduces everybody in the room to her master, who is revealed to be Mewtwo. Fergus insults Mewtwo, who sends him flying. Fergus has his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Mewtwo easily reflects it. Mewtwo releases the woman from its control. When Brock quickly catches her, it is revealed that the mystery woman is the missing Nurse Joy, whom Mewtwo had taken under its control due to her knowledge of Pokémon physiology. Mewtwo tells the Trainers that humans are weak and cruel, and have made all Pokémon their slaves. It also says that Pokémon are no better off since they choose to associate with humans.

As Team Rocket gets into the fortress and make their way into a laboratory, they come across a weird-looking machine, a computer, and several Pokémon sleeping in giant pods. [[Jessie]] accidentally sits on the computer controls, which plays back a recorded message from Dr. Fuji about the fossilized eyelash of Mew that was used to create Mewtwo. Suddenly, the machine takes a piece of hair from Meowth to create a clone of him. Summoned by Mewtwo, the cloned Pokémon awaken and exit to their master.

Mewtwo leads Ash and the other Trainers into the stadium part of the fortress and suggests that they should battle Pokémon to see who is the strongest, the clones versus the originals. [[Ash's Charizard]], Corey's {{p|Venusaur}}, and Neesha's {{p|Blastoise}} are no match for Mewtwo's clones. With the Pokémon defeated, Mewtwo summons its own specialized [[Poké Ball]]s, the Mewtwo Balls, and uses them to capture Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, claiming them as its prize. Mewtwo announces that the other Pokémon will be taken to be cloned. The clones will remain safe on the island while Mewtwo's storms destroy the planet. Mewtwo sends its Balls after the Pokémon.

[[File:Neesha Vileplume.png|thumb|left|250px|Neesha attempts to protect her Pokémon]]
Immediately, all the Trainers are on the run. Some Pokémon are captured before they realize what's happening, some attempt to outrun the Mewtwo Balls, and some attempt to use their attacks to defend themselves. However, it proves to be useless as nearly all the Pokémon end up being captured one by one. Ash deduces that Pokémon inside their Poké Balls should be safe from capture and [[recall]]s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, it turns out to be no use, as the Mewtwo Balls instead capture the {{i|Poké Ball}}s whole with Bulbasaur and Squirtle still inside. Brock suggests carrying the Pokémon away, but while {{an|Misty}} successfully hides {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside her [[bag|backpack]], {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} aren't so lucky and are also caught.

{{AP|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon still uncaptured, and as a result, he's now the only target of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash uses his body to block them, giving Pikachu a chance to run. Pikachu heads towards a nearby suspended staircase and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to take out a few of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash follows him up the staircase. Pikachu is forced to use his Thunder Shock every few seconds, which in combination with constantly being on the run, leaves him exhausted. As a result, Pikachu is forced off the staircase while dodging the Balls, falling a long way. Ash jumps off after Pikachu to protect him, but before he can grab his friend, a Mewtwo Ball finally manages to capture Pikachu. Ash grabs the Ball before he falls into the pool of water at the base of the staircase, and loses his grip on it underwater. Ash follows it, out of the pool, and towards the entrance to the laboratory where Team Rocket is.

The same machine that cloned Meowth earlier is now processing all of the Mewtwo Balls, and Ash grabs the one Pikachu is in just as the machine does as well. Fighting against the machine's many arms, Ash eventually manages to pull the Mewtwo Ball away, destroying the machine in the process. Pikachu is released from the Mewtwo Ball and shakes himself off. Happily, he reunites with Ash, but the clones are now freed from their stasis tubes, prepared to join Mewtwo. The remaining Mewtwo Balls are released from the machine in an explosion, and all open to free the Pokémon inside, including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and their Poké Balls.

Mewtwo releases the other humans and is soon joined by its clone army. Ash emerges from the smoke with his and every Trainer's Pokémon and proclaims that they won't let Mewtwo's plan succeed. He tries to punch Mewtwo, but Mewtwo's force field knocks him down. Ash goes in for another punch, but this time, Mewtwo sends him flying at a high point of the castle. Ash is saved from the blow by a large, pink bubble. Then Mew comes onto the scene, having created the bubble that protected Ash. Mew is soon targeted by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from Mewtwo, who says that clones are far more powerful than the originals. Mew communicates with Mewtwo that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart, which is translated by Meowth. Disgusted, Mewtwo throws another Shadow Ball at Mew, who dodges it, but the blast hits Ash. With Mewtwo blocking all the Pokémon's special moves, a widespread melee begins between the Pokémon and their clones.

[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo and Mew]]
Ash survives the blast but is horrified to see all the Pokémon fighting their clones, especially Pikachu getting slapped endlessly by his [[Pikachutwo|clone]]. He eventually falls back down to the stadium floor, prompting Misty, Brock, and Nurse Joy to come to his aid. They see now how horrible this kind of fighting is, and that the originals and clones will never give up, resulting in their deaths. Ash realizes someone has to take a stand and refuse to fight like Pikachu is.

As Team Rocket also look on in horror, Meowth is approached by his clone. Although the two briefly get ready to fight, they realize the pointlessness of it and instead talk about how, no matter how different people are, they all share a lot in common on this planet.

Just as Mew and Mewtwo are emanating large auras of psychic energy in preparation for their most powerful energy blasts, Ash, frightened and angered by the continuous fighting, runs between them, demanding them to stop their futile battle. The two blasts of energy strike with Ash in the crossfire, and due to the magnitude of concentrated power, Ash is turned to stone. Mewtwo, shocked by Ash's recklessness, calls him a fool.

The stadium becomes silent, save for Pikachu, who runs to Ash's side. After trying to wake him up, Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt in vain, as Ash stays unmoving and has no sign of life. Pikachu begins to cry at losing his best friend, as do the rest of the Pokémon in the stadium due to Ash's noble and brave sacrifice in the name of their salvation. The tears of all the Pokémon come together and magically revive Ash, bringing him back to life just like in the story Miranda told earlier.

After witnessing all of this, Mewtwo states that it does not matter who is more powerful, that the clones and originals both have value, and that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant: it is what one does with life that determines one's destiny. Mewtwo also says that it would be best if no one knew about what happened. When Mewtwo flies off, it tells Ash that it will find a place where it and the clones can live in peace. As a result, all of the memories of this event are erased from the Trainers' minds.

Ash, Misty, Brock, and everyone else instantly find themselves back at the Pokémon Center with no memory of their adventure on New Island. Nurse Joy is also back, offering shelter from the storm. Going out to the pier, Ash sees Mew in the clouds as the storm ends and tells Misty and Brock that [[EP001|when his journey began]], he saw a {{an|Ho-Oh|mysterious Pokémon}}, and now he believes he just saw another. Misty thinks that Ash was just imagining it, but Brock points out that maybe he wasn't. With that, the three friends prepare to continue their journey.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket, on the now-empty and green New Island and with no clue how they got here, decide to take a vacation as the credits begin to roll.

==Scenes in episodes==
[[File:Mewtwo in armor.png|thumb|220px|Giovanni controlled Mewtwo with a special suit of armor]]
The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in scenes that prelude this movie. These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the {{pkmn|animated series}}'s four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18.

The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie.

In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio go to {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, apologize to Giovanni, and have a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of when Mewtwo is first shown in its armor, though this scene chronologically took place after the scene in the movie.

The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of Team Rocket HQ in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation. The shot of Giovanni's helicopter taking off in this episode uses the same animation (played in reverse) of the same helicopter landing on New Island in the movie.

==Alternate versions==
===''Kanzenban'' version===
In Japan, the theatrical version had only two home video releases (VHS, February 12, 1999; LaserDisc, July 17, 1999) and was never shown on TV. A new version of the movie, known as the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: 完全版 ''full version''), has been shown in all television airings in Japan (the first one being on July 8, 1999) and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one (VHS, November 12, 1999) onward: this version contains additional scenes and CGI edits.

====Additional scenes====
=====The Birth of Mewtwo=====
{{main|The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin}}
A ten-minute short known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') was added at the beginning of the movie in the ''kanzenban'' version: this short details the history of Mewtwo's creation (based on the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]''), increasing the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes and the prologue's length from 10 to 20 minutes. Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in the United States, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the short while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' for the rest of the movie instead of the footage from the Japanese theatrical version. On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released in home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': in the VHS these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie while in the DVD they were included as an extra. On June 23, 2000, a Japanese DVD of the movie was released with both a Japanese and an English audio track, and this marked the first time the full English dubbed version of the short was available; it was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' in the Special Features of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001, in Australia and on December 4, 2001, in the United States.
* The first scene (the only one that was included on the American VHS/DVD release of the movie) centered around a group of explorers who found an ancient engraving of Mew and a fossil of its eyelash.
* The second detailed {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s attempts to clone {{an|Amber|his daughter}}, who had died as a child, Mew, and the Kanto starters.
* The final scene detailed a young Mewtwo's telepathic interaction with clones of the [[Kanto]] starters and Amber Fuji.

=====Satoshi's Journey=====
The VHS release of the ''kanzenban'' adds another segment to the beginning of the movie right before ''The Birth of Mewtwo'', known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|サトシの旅立ち|Satoshi no Tabidachi}}''' ''Satoshi's Journey''). This 5-minute short acts as an intro sequence to the movie, increasing the movie's length further from 85 to 90 minutes. It recaps the start of Ash's [[Pokémon journey]], featuring reanimated scenes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Parts were later reused for the intro sequence of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' as well as ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' in the dub.

====CGI edits====
All the following edits were made for the "kanzenban" and then used in international releases of the movie:
* In the wide shot of Mewtwo facing Dr. Fuji, who is explaining to it how it was created, two large test tubes were shown positioned on either side of the screen in front of the characters and magnifying them. These were pushed off to the edge of the screen in the newer version of the film.
* When Mewtwo is being suited up with armor, Giovanni is covered in shadow (much like his first appearances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}). In the newer version the scene was changed so he could be seen better, probably because his identity in the animated series had already been revealed in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.
* A CGI panning effect was added to the Gym floor when Mewtwo battles a Trainer's {{p|Onix}}.
* When Mewtwo first summons the storm, the shadow color on its hand is changed from purple to pinkish-red.
* Mew floating up to the surface of the water in a bubble was completely re-animated.
* Throughout the film, the original hand-drawn clouds of Mewtwo's storm are replaced with more realistic-looking CGI clouds. The water in the storm is also altered to have different shades of blue.
* Mewtwo's castle is changed from hand-drawn to CGI.
* The shot of the big doors opening was replaced with CGI doors. When the door closes in front of Ash, the scene now pans all the way back to Team Rocket facing the door when it was originally a {{wp|Dissolve (filmmaking)|dissolve}}.
* Another CGI panning effect was added for the shot of Rhyhorn charging toward Mewtwo.
* The big reveal of Mewtwo's stadium was rendered with CGI.
* The scene of Ash walking forward with all the rescued Pokémon was altered to have them fade into sight. In the original, they were drawn as black silhouettes slowly walking outward through the smoke and their bodies interacted with it more. This was also seen in the US trailer of ''Pokémon the First Movie''.
* When Ash is looking down at the Pokémon fighting their clones, they were all originally drawn as silhouettes.
* The tears of life from the Pokémon were changed to CGI.
* Animation of water rippling is added to what was mostly a still shot in the original version.
* The sky during the fire sequence was recolored.
* More bubbles were added to the opening sequence.
* There are three different versions of Mew flying across the sky and in front of the moon; a trailer where the moon is yellow, the original version has it gray, and the final version has a GCI moon.

===Digitally remastered version===
Similar to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', the ''Kanzenban'' version of this movie was digitally remastered to HD, complete with slight color correction. An error is also corrected where [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} now comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] only once. It was released on Blu-Ray in Japan on November 28, 2012 with a boxset containing all the movies up to [[M13]], and aired on May 3, 2013 on [[TV Tokyo]]. The dub (which retains the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] audio) aired on Cartoon Network January 4, 2014, and was re-released on [[Pokémon TV]] June 6, 2015. In addition to all of the changes in the Japanese version, [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] is once again cut out, along with the Alakazam error in the Cartoon Network version. The opening{{tt|*|Cartoon Network version only, they are removed from the Pokémon TV version}} and ending{{tt|*|Pokémon TV re-release only}} credits are retyped in the Arial font instead of {{wp|Comic Sans}}, and the copyright year 2014 (2015 for the re-release) was added to the end of the credits. The Warner Bros. distribution screen at the end was removed.

===Remake===
{{main|M22|Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution}}
The movie was remade as a 3D-animated film titled ''Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution''. It debuted in Japanese in July 2019 and in English in February 2020.

==Trivia==
[[File:Fourth Trainer.png|thumb|200px|The fourth Trainer seen on the far right before leaving]]
[[File:Female Trainer M01 Fearow.png|thumb|200px|The female Trainer leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[EP065]], where Mewtwo is seen escaping from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. This mismatch was caused by the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]] causing the {{pkmn|animated series}} to be put on hiatus for several months.
** Had the hiatus not occurred, this movie would have likely premiered between [[EP067]] and [[EP068]].
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue. The prologue was further extended to 20 minutes in the Japanese extended version and twelve minutes in the international extended version.
** According to [[Takeshi Shudō]], the movie's writer, the prologue was only added after it was clear that the hiatus would make it impossible to have {{p|Mewtwo}} appear in the TV series before the movie's premiere.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167</ref> Originally, Mewtwo would first appear onscreen when it revealed itself to the Trainers on [[New Island]], explaining why Mewtwo is only partially shown in-between the opening credits and its entrance on New Island.
* Mewtwo in this movie was heavily inspired by the titular character in ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera (novel)|The Phantom of the Opera}}''. Takeshi Shudō made this decision upon learning that [[Masachika Ichimura]], who played the Phantom in the 1988 Japanese production of {{wp|The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)#Other international productions|the musical}}, would be voicing the character. As a result, Mewtwo in the movie ended up possessing a castle to mirror the opera house.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo168</ref><ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo169</ref>
* According to Takeshi Shudō's notes on the movie, {{Ash}} was petrified but not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's {{m|Psychic}} blasts collided with him, and the tears simply restored him.
* Despite being on the English movie poster, none of the following Pokémon are in the movie: Goldeen, Omastar, Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀, Cubone, Tangela, Kakuna, Lickitung, Mr. Mime, Clefairy, and Kabuto.
* Several [[move]]s were used by Pokémon in this movie that were not yet available in the {{pkmn|games}}. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}} used {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} (itself a Pokémon not yet available) used {{m|Rollout}}.
* Other than [[Corey]], [[Fergus]], and [[Neesha]], a female fourth {{pkmn|Trainer}} takes off from the pier on the back of a Fearow. She is seen flying Fearow while Fergus and Neesha ride their {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. She likely never made it to [[New Island]], unlike the others.
** She is the only character who leaves for New Island but never appears again. Mewtwo wipes the memories of everyone on New Island and transports them back to the mainland (except for Team Rocket), but this Trainer completely disappears.
* Of the Pokémon seen at the gathering, only [[Misty's Togepi]] was not captured and cloned by Mewtwo due to {{an|Misty}} hiding it in her [[bag]].
* Though Mewtwo owned a cloned {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, they were not cloned from the Trainers' Pokémon. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired itself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.
** These three Pokémon happen to be the fully evolved forms of {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends}}, who died when Mewtwo was young.
* In the English dub, [[Jessie]] makes a reference to ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}''.
* In Japan, this movie (paired with the ''Pikachu's Vacation'' short) was released on {{wp|LaserDisc}}, being the only Pokémon media to be released on this medium.
* The North American VHS release features an introduction to the tape's contents by {{an|Professor Oak}}, utilizing footage from [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|his lecture]] on Alakazam from [[EP066]].
* Despite the English [[dub]] using the ''kanzenban'' footage, the opening of the original North American DVD release uses a hand-drawn shot of the big doors opening.
* The title of this movie is also used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Mewtwo's trailer] for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].
* The [https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4308232 movie's first trailer] showed several prominent scenes that never appear in the movie. They were promotional scenes made before the movie script was finished.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_the_first_trailer.html Mewtwo Strikes Back The First Trailer - Dogasu's Backpack]</ref> Most notable were scenes of Ash fleeing an explosion, a woman who looks like Misty accompanying {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} and a younger character, and {{TRT}} standing on a warship.
* On the 23rd anniversary of the movie's release, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] posted an image to Twitter homaging the scene of Pikachutwo slapping Pikachu and mentioning the scene always made him cry.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/1416593567519154178</ref>
* Some of Mew's lines from this movie can be heard in the first four [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] games and {{g|Snap}}.
* The movie's title in Japanese is most likely based on either the Japanese title of ''{{wp|The Empire Strikes Back}}'' (帝国の逆襲 ''Teikoku no Gyakushū'') or the 1988 mecha film ''{{wp|Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack}}'' (機動戦士ガンダム逆襲のシャア ''Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Gyakushū no Char'').
[[File:Agatha M01.png|thumb|200px|The shadowed Trainer that resembles [[Agatha]]]]
* The battle shown on Ash's [[television]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' is reanimated and expanded upon in the "kanzenban" version of the movie, showing more of the battle between {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Onix}}.
** Unlike in the first episode, Gengar's {{pkmn|Trainer}} is shown here, though obscured in shadow, and bears a strong resemblance to [[Agatha]], much like how Onix’s Trainer resembles [[Bruno]].
* When the cloned Pokémon's silhouettes are displayed, {{TRT}} asks themselves: "[[Who's That Pokémon?]]" ("''Dare da?''" in the Japanese version), a reference to the segment.

===Errors===
* When New Island is reflected in {{an|Giovanni}}'s helicopter, the reflection is not reversed.
* When Giovanni tells Mewtwo to use its powers, Mewtwo's arm is missing.
* In Ash and {{ashfr}}' first appearance, the stripes on Ash's bag are colored green instead of cream and orange.
* {{p|Machamp}} being sent out by Raymond is shown twice.
* Early in the movie, Pikachu defeats Raymond's {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect because Golem is a {{type|Ground}}.
* When Team Rocket is spying on Ash and his friends as they are having lunch, [[James]]'s strand of hair is transparent for a moment.
* Mewtwo is colored pink as it begins creating the storm. In a later shot of Mewtwo intensifying the storm, its color is corrected.
* When Ash and his friends enter the terminal, the inside of a {{p|Raichu}}'s ear is colored brown like the rest of the ear instead of yellow.
* When Misty takes the white card, the marks on Ash's cheeks are missing. This also happens when Ash asks Mewtwo where it is going.
* In two very similar shots at the beginning and end of the movie, as [[Officer Jenny]] warns the Trainers about the storm, the backpacks of [[Corey]] and [[Fergus]] drastically shrink in size.
* When Fergus releases his Gyarados into the water to ride on its back, its lips are blue instead of yellow.
* When Jenny's hat flies off, the loops of Miranda's earrings are colored in.
* In the scene right before explaining how he got to New Island, Corey's jacket stamp disappears.
* In the shot after Corey shows his Pokémon to Ash and his friends, Ash's pupils are entirely brown instead of mostly black with some brown.
* When Fergus runs over to his injured Gyarados, his Nidoqueen has the color scheme of a {{p|Nidoking}}.
* Right before Ash charges at Mewtwo, one frame shows {{p|Rapidash}} without its flames. This was fixed in later releases.
* When the clones enter with an explosion and emerge from the smoke, [[Pikachutwo]]'s black-tipped ears are the same as a normal {{p|Pikachu}}'s and Golduck is greenish teal instead of blue.
* When Vaporeontwo is first lowered into its tube, it has two nostrils instead of a single black dot for its nose.
* After Ash's Bulbasaur is released from Mewtwo's Poké Ball, Ash's mouth moves but no audio comes out, whereas he addresses Pikachu and Squirtle by name once released.
* On the DVD scene selection, {{p|Togepi}} is listed as Pokémon {{p|Chikorita|#152}}. However, prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Togepi had been given #152 in other media as well.
* In the English dub:
** Three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. {{p|Pidgeot}} is called {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{p|Scyther}} is called {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} is called {{p|Sandshrew}}. In the audio commentary, [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake{{fact}}. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV.
*** In addition, the closed captioning for the re-release and on Pokémon TV have Corey correctly referring to his Pokémon as a Pidgeot.
** Fergus states that all of his Pokémon are {{t|Water}} types, but he also has a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.
*** However, in the Japanese version, he says all his Pokémon can swim to the location; this statement is true, as Nidoqueen can learn {{m|Surf}} in [[Generation I]].
** While Ash is looking at Fergus's Pokémon, his Japanese voice can be faintly heard over the voice of the Pokémon.
** Pikachutwo's cheek pouches surge with electricity even though Mewtwo blocked the Pokémon's special abilities. The original version says nothing about the Pokémon's abilities being blocked, and they simply clash physically out of pure hatred.
** The retyped ending credits of the remastered version [[List of typos|misspell]] [[Don't Say You Love Me]] as Don't Say '''Your''' Love Me and accidentally list '''Bolly Crawford''' instead of Billy Crawford as the singer of the opening song.
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the episodes of the animated series, resulting in several dubbing errors:
** In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{p|Charmander}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.
** In one scene, a Trainer calls his {{p|Kingler}} with an unknown name.
** In another scene, Neesha calls her {{p|Blastoise}} by its Japanese name, ''Kamex''.
** In the cloning scene, {{MTR}} says "{{p|Chikorita}}" when speaking about {{p|Vaporeon}}.
** When Meowth talks with the clone Meowth, one line in human language was said by the clone Meowth despite the fact that the clone Meowth can't speak the human language.
* In the Swedish dub, when Jessie comments on Meowth's hair being cloned, her voice is computerized like the machine that speaks afterwards.
* When Ash looks up to ask where Mewtwo, Mew, and the clones will be going, the "z" mark on his cheek is missing.
* In the final shot of the ending credits, the front of [[Ash's hat]] is colored red instead of white.

===Dub edits===
* The message and themes of the movie were changed in the English dub. The Japanese version explores ethical themes of existensialism, whereas the English dub replaces it with an anti-violence message. This was explained by Takeshi Shudo in his blog.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo183</ref>
* Mewtwo's personality and goal are different between the original version and the English dub. In the English dub, Mewtwo is more boastful about its powers and certain about superiority to Mew and wants to destroy the world with a hurricane it created to get revenge on humanity. In the original version, Mewtwo is instead portrayed as a confused being who questions its worth as a clone and wished to have a more direct confrontation with humanity.
* Giovanni was never mentioned by the scientists in the laboratory in the original version, and all the references to him were added in the English dub.
* There was no alarm sounding during Mewtwo's awakening in the Japanese version.
* The dialogue in the scene where {{an|Dr. Fuji}} tells Mewtwo about its origins was altered in the English dub. In the original version, Mewtwo asks if Mew is its mother or father, and when Dr. Fuji tells that neither "yes" or "no" would be a wrong answer, it asks if it was created by {{wp|God in Christianity|God}}. To this, Dr. Fuji replies that in this world, the only ones capable of creating life are God and humans, and Mewtwo was created through human science.
** In addition, the Japanese version had the scientists shortly before Mewtwo's rampage merely congratulating themselves on a job well done with Mewtwo's creation. The English dub had added references to creating a new tank and implying that they'll stuff Mewtwo in a cage until the tank's ready, presumably to make the scientists less sympathetic before they were killed by their creation.
* While Giovanni tells Mewtwo about seeing it as a valuable partner in the English dub, in the Japanese version, he tells it that there is something even stronger than it in this world, to which Mewtwo replies, "Humans?" receiving a nod of approval from Giovanni.
* Giovanni denies that Mewtwo's armor is meant to suppress its powers in the English dub, stating that it is rather meant to "focus" them. In the original Japanese, Giovanni says that Mewtwo's job is to fight for Team Rocket.
* In the scene of Mewtwo alone in Giovanni's headquarters, no dialogue was originally heard. In the English dub, Mewtwo thinks about its purpose.
* In the original release for the movie, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} twice. It is unknown whether this was mistakenly repeated or intentionally done for dynamic effect, but it would seem to be a mistake as this was corrected when the digitally remastered version came out.
* When Meowth complains about his hunger, Jessie takes out a frying pan and states that she could cook something, to which Meowth replies "Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you took out eight of my nine lives." In the Japanese version, Jessie simply points out that she has a frying pan, to which Meowth replies that without meat and vegetables, it is nothing more than an iron pan.
* Miranda's story about the power of Pokémon tears to revive people only exists in the English version. Originally, she only says that the storm is the greatest she has ever seen.
* During the opening song after {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's Donphan, Ash's mouth moves. He says nothing in the Japanese version, while in the English dub, there is a dialogue.
* In the original Japanese version, Ash and {{an|Brock}} comment that they are fortunate that a boat appeared. In various dubs, this was changed to a reference to vikings:
** In the English dub, when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says "''Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed."), and Ash replies "''Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.''" ("Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.") This is probably a reference to the fact that at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says "''Vikingerne er et band.''" ("The Vikings is a band.") This is likely a reference to The Vikings, an old Swedish band.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, Brock says "''Inte visste jag att vikingarna fanns kvar.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.") and Ash replies "''Det är för att de flesta bor i Norge.''" ("That's because most of them live in Norway"). Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
*** Additionally, when Jessie poses as a Viking, she speaks with a fake Norwegian accent, adding the stereotypical word ''akkurat'', meaning "correct" in Norwegian, at the end of her sentence.
** In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, Brock says "''Onko viikenkejä vielä olemassa?''" ("Are vikings still around") and Ash replies "''On niitä Sipoon saaristossa.''" ("There are some in the Sipoo archipelago"). {{wp|Sipoo}} is a municipality by the coastline of southern Finland.
** In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, Ash replies that the Vikings mostly live in {{wp|Scandinavia}}.
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} dub, [[Misty's Staryu]] makes no sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the movie, Staryu's voice can be heard twice.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Corey is referred to as [[Gary Oak]].
* When Mewtwo first speaks to the gathered Trainers via its caretaker, the Japanese version has Misty remarking on its voice in shock, with Brock directly stating that its using telepathy to communicate. The English dub merely has Misty directly asking how Mewtwo is able to speak, with Brock merely stating that it is "psychic" without directly confirming its use of telepathy.
* In the English dub, the Pokémon Replication System switches between a female computer voice and the recorded voice of Dr. Fuji. In the original version, Dr. Fuji's is the only voice.
** In the English dub, Dr. Fuji's message was made to sound like it was being recorded while Mewtwo was destroying the laboratory, with the sounds of explosions and screaming occasionally heard at the background. This is not the case in the Japanese version.
* Sounds are added in the English dub when the cloned Pokémon emerge from the tubes.
* Ash says nothing about Charizard not having a nickname in the Japanese version.
* During the match between [[Ash's Charizard]] and the clone {{p|Charizard}}, in the Japanese version, Mewtwo tells the clone to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, while in the English dub, it just tells the clone to "finish it" without specifying a [[move]].
* Shortly before the clones appear in the arena, Mewtwo originally offers to let the Trainers go, on the condition that they can get through its storm. In the English dub, Mewtwo only tells them it'll spare their lives for the moment, leaving the reason why it then opens the doors out of the arena more unclear.
* When the clones emerge into the arena, Mewtwo was originally confused by their sudden appearance. In the English dub, Mewtwo proudly presents its clones, appearing to have somewhat expected their arrival.
* In the English dub, specifically during the speech Mew gives to Mewtwo, Mew says that shows of force prove nothing, and real strength comes from the heart; in the original Japanese version, Mew is much more bellicose, saying that only the original Pokémon are real, and no matter how much they fight, the real ones will never lose to copies.
* During the battle between the original and clone Pokémon, in the Japanese version the background music is a variation of ''[[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Best#Tracklist 2|Colossal Battle]]'' (listed as 1997-1998＿M14) followed by soft instrumental music. In the English version, ''[[Brother My Brother]]'' plays, a song promoting peace.
* The English script contains an anti-racism moral. Meowth, agreeing with his clone, says, "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?" In the original version, Meowthtwo refuses to fight because it is pointless and harmful, opting instead to marvel at the full moon, which Meowth calls poetic.
* When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try to bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one example being the facetious "My bike..."
* Mewtwo says much less at the end of the original version, telling Mew that these events are best forgotten, and only saying to Ash that the clones will live somewhere in the {{pkmn|world}}.
* In the English dub, after being returned back to the port, Brock admires how beautiful [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are. In the original Japanese version of the movie, Brock is admiring Miranda as well.
* [[James]] and Meowth originally said nothing just before the credits rolled.
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub used the original Japanese version of the movie. As such, characters that had not appeared in the main series, such as {{an|Amber}}, kept their Japanese names.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the English ending themes are replaced with instrumental music from the American soundtrack.

==Plot==
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD US.png|thumb|230px|left|DVD cover]]
{{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, its heart having been softened by the selfless example of [[Ash Ketchum]] back in the eastern [[Kanto]] [[region]], has now traveled to the western region of [[Johto]] in search of a place unreachable to the prying eyes and harsh judgments of humans for the sake of the band of cloned Pokémon, whose welfare Mewtwo is entirely concerned with. Mewtwo eventually finds the perfect hideaway: a huge mountain named [[Mount Quena]], surrounded by steep cliffs that are practically impossible to scale, but in its crater is a freshwater lake and a forest that is home to many {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. This is a perfect fit for Mewtwo's band, so they settle in the top of Mount Quena and begin a new, safe life. Mewtwo, feeling that clones do not belong in the outside world because they were not born in it, watches over as their guardian. Mewtwo seems particularly close to the [[Pikachutwo|Pikachu]] and {{p|Meowth}} clones, spending most of its private time with them, possibly reflecting how important their templates were in its change of heart.

{{an|Giovanni}}, however, is determined to possess Mewtwo once again, and has been planning a militaristic assault upon wherever Mewtwo has settled to take the Pokémon back for himself. He at last locates Mewtwo in its new mountain retreat, so the Team Rocket Combat Unit heads toward Mount Quena.

Ash and {{ashfr}}—on their Pokémon journey as always—are passing through an area around Mount Quena called [[Mount Quena#Purity Canyon|Purity Canyon]], which is known as [[Johto]]'s greatest natural wonder. Unfortunately, they miss the only bus that goes through the area and an unpredicted typhoon forces them to stay at a lodge at the foot of the mountain with a woman who could not board the full bus. On the road, the bus is swept up high powerful winds, but is set down by Mewtwo's powers, much to the confusion of its riders. In Mewtwo's lair, Pikachutwo questions this action, which Mewtwo explains was to prevent rescuers from jeopardizing the clones' seclusion. Meowthtwo suggests it may also have been done out of compassion, of which Mewtwo says it has none for humans.

Back at the lodge, Pokémon naturalist [[Luna Carson]] explains that the only ways through the valley are a canoe ride down the river or the monthly bus service. Later, Luna serves them fresh water from [[Mount Quena#Purity River|Purity River]], and everyone but Ash is amazed by its taste. With no other option for transportation, the group leave that night, taking the canoes downstream. Along the way, they come across the Bug Pokémon {{p|Ledian}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and {{p|Beedrill}}, the last of which causes {{an|Misty}} to frantically paddle back upstream. Back at the lodge, {{an|Brock}} suggests they scale Mount Quena, but Luna warns that is impassible despite featuring beautiful [[Mount Quena#Clarity Lake|Clarity Lake]] in its crater. A knock on the door brings new lodge inhabitants: medical researcher [[Cullen Calix]] and a spunky girl from the Pokémon Institute, [[Domino]]. Cullen says he is studying the medicinal properties of Purity River water and wants to explore Mount Quena, which Luna laments would bring tourists and destruction to the ecosystem.

Suddenly, {{TRT}} announces their presence with firecrackers and their {{motto}}. [[James]] grabs {{AP|Pikachu}} with an electricity-absorbing whip and escapes with [[Jessie]], and {{MTR}} in their rocket-powered balloon, but the turbulent winds cause them to lose control and push them toward Mount Quena. The group equips climbing gear and chases after them, avoiding gusty winds and even a falling boulder. Team Rocket's balloon swings by and hooks their climbing rope, dragging the group into the air. Domino spots Mewtwo in Mount Quena through her binoculars and transmits a video feed to none other than Giovanni. Upon seeing the approaching Combat Unit, Domino climbs up the rope past the others, lands in the balloon's basket, and reveals herself to be in league with Team Rocket as elite Agent 009, also known as The Black Tulip for her use of the flowers as weapons. Domino pops the balloon with one and sends everyone else plummeting onto the mountain while she returns via paraglider to Giovanni's large helicopter to report on Mewtwo's status.

Pikachu and Team Rocket end up separated from the others and quickly encounter the clones. Pikachu's clone attacks Pikachu for suddenly appearing, but Mewtwo forces it to stop. Agitated by the approaching humans, Pikachutwo rallies the other clones to fight back against the invading Combat Unit. Mewtwo stays behind with other clones and contemplates whether to stop the fighters from endangering themselves or letting them act freely. Ash and the other humans land unharmed, but separated from Pikachu by a lake. They use {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Chikorita}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}} to make a canoe and oars out of a fallen tree, and with it they traverse the lake to reach the island at the center of Mount Quena's crater. They enter a natural sanctuary in the island, where Cullen discovers that the water inside could have a profound impact on medicine. Luna fears that any future human presence could taint the purity of the water and destroy the habitat.

Some of the clones imprison Jessie and James in a cave and head off with Pikachu and Meowth to fight Team Rocket's forces. However, as soon as the Pokémon land ashore, a Team Rocket helicopter appears and stuns the clones with energy blasts. An airship drops Team Rocket [[Poké Ball]]s that capture most of the clones, and just as Pikachutwo is about to be caught by one, Pikachu deflects it with an electric attack. He also shocks Pikachutwo in order to invigorate it and escape, which Meowth emulates by scratching Meowthtwo's face. The four Pokémon flee from the helicopter's blasts, but find themselves trapped against a hill. A {{m|Shadow Ball}} saves the group from an incoming stun blast, revealing Mewtwo floating in the air behind the helicopter. Mewtwo frees the clone, disintegrates their Poké Balls, and throws another Shadow Ball, but the helicopter evades the attack.

Giovanni emerges on a platform to speak with Mewtwo, but the Pokémon refuses to go along with Giovanni's plans. The helicopter deploys two machines that surround Mewtwo and give it a powerful electric shock. Mewtwo pushes the machines into rock walls with its psychic power and defies Giovanni once more. Giovanni turns his attention to the island harboring the rest of the clones for phase two of the operation. Along with paragliding Team Rocket Grunts, Domino flies over using a jetpack and eventually comes across Ash's group, who are quickly restrained by metal rings to prevent their interference. Domino subdues the island's Pokémon with stunning tulips and restraining rings and reports her findings to Giovanni, who challenges Mewtwo to stop him. Mewtwo declares that it will protect the clones and telekinetically brings the other Pokémon to the island with it.

Soon, Domino, Mewtwo, and Giovanni meet on the island, at which point Giovanni tells Mewtwo that it must surrender. Mewtwo replies that it would rather leave this world than serve him, but Giovanni threatens to subject the other clones to experiments that would cause them to perish. Mewtwo then agrees. Giovanni reactivates the machines from earlier and tells Mewtwo to enter the energy field between them, which will harness Mewtwo's power and bend its will to his. Domino demonstrates Team Rocket's threat by firing blasts from her tulip at Pikachutwo. With Mewtwo trapped by the force of the machines' energy and his operation successful, Giovanni makes plans to build a Team Rocket laboratory on the island to create an army of powerful clone Pokémon. Mewtwo ceases its struggle just as Giovanni states that it will be his tool to rule the world. The other characters and Pokémon are then locked away in a prison cell, where Ash is reunited with Pikachu.

Outside, construction is well under way on the Team Rocket base. In a phone call, Giovanni tells Domino that Mewtwo's brain waves are resisting the machine's influence at a rate that would destroy its body before giving in. The industrial waste from the base attracts the ire of Mount Quena's resident Bug Pokémon: hundreds of Ledian, {{p|Butterfree}}, and Beedrill, whose lake water is now polluted. When the welders inside the facility are taken out by Butterfree's {{m|Sleep Powder}}, a dropped blowtorch ignites the fuel cells below and causes enormous chain explosions, one of which destroys the cell bars and frees the human and Pokémon prisoners. Luna and Cullen head toward the spring to check its purity.

Domino throws black tulips at a group of Ledian, but several {{p|Scyther}} slice the weapons up. She then uses a rod-like tulip to fend off an attacking Scyther and vault over the Ledian swarm. After being forced to mop the floor earlier, Jessie and James enjoy Domino slipping and falling head-first into a bucket of water.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Pikachutwo, Meowth, and Meowthtwo find Mewtwo. Everyone but Misty tries to free Mewtwo by tackling one of the machines, but it only tips over and maintains the energy field. Mewtwo resorts to using the last of its power to overload the machines. Pikachu and Pikachutwo use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on one of them, which explodes. The field breaks, and Mewtwo collapses to the ground. The other machine appears to malfunction and self-destruct. Before they can take Mewtwo to the spring to recover, Giovanni appears with Team Rocket and claims that Mewtwo belongs to him. Brock and Misty release all their Pokémon to fight, and the clone and Bug Pokémon show up as well. Meowth flees the scene with Jessie and James while Ash takes Mewtwo away by himself.

As Ash, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita transport Mewtwo to safety, Mewtwo asks why Ash is helping it. Ash replies that Mewtwo saving Pikachu is one reason, and at Mewtwo's questioning, goes on to say that you do not need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. They reach the heart of the mountain, and despite Cullen's protests that Mewtwo may contaminate the spring, Ash throws Mewtwo in because it needs the water's healing power most. Since the water heals it like it does other Pokémon, Mewtwo realizes that it does belong in this world. A blast from a helicopter announces Giovanni's sudden presence, but a rejuvenated Mewtwo rises from the water to protect the land it calls home. Mewtwo causes a great blue light to shoot up from the entire lake and pierce the heavens.
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|thumb|230px|Mewtwo overlooking a city at night]]
Night has fallen, and Team Rocket wake up from unconsciousness in a dry crater. Underground, Mewtwo explains to the other humans that it has moved the lake and spring inside Mount Quena for greater protection. When Mewtwo decides to erase the memories of everyone involved, Meowth and the other Pokémon object, arguing that the past forms part of a living creature's identity and it is entitled to it. Misty and Brock add that forgetting the past does not change it and everyone deserves to know where they came from. Mewtwo changes its mind, stating that we should be able to look to the past just as much as the future, and the shame of others' wrongdoing is theirs alone. A group of Butterfree spread powder enhanced with Mewtwo's psychic abilities to erase the memories of the Team Rocket operatives as well as Luna and Cullen, whose well-meaning desire to research the spring may put it in jeopardy. Like the Team Rocket trio before them, Ash and his friends board a Pikachu balloon to leave Mount Quena. Mewtwo earnestly thanks them for their help and departs with all the cloned Pokémon to live elsewhere as natural Pokémon in the wild.

Some time later, as Ash, Misty, and Brock walk through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo's voice, but is uncertain whether it was real or just a memory. The [[narrator]] concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traverses a faraway city at night.

==Trivia==
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|250px|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn]]
* This special was released between [[EP178]] and [[EP179]] in Japan.
* In reruns on [[Kids Station]] and on VOD services such as [[Prime Video]] and [[Hulu]], the special is split into three episodes listed as part of the original series between [[EP178]] and [[EP179]], with each part including the regular [[OK!|opening]] and [[To My Best Friend|ending]] animations, [[title card]]s, and next episode previews.
* Before being blasted off by the typhoon, {{TRT}} said: "How many times must our plans be destroyed, before they're allowed to be tried? The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind!", referencing the {{wp|Bob Dylan}} song "{{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}}".
* This was the first time that an {{pkmn|animated series}}-related release, other than openings and segments, used digital coloring.
* During the conversation between [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Pikachutwo]], and {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (immediately following Pikachu's arrival on the island), [[James]] comments, "This is like the sequel to a movie I missed." [[Breaking the fourth wall]], this comment is essentially true, since Mewtwo wiped James's memory of the events of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* Music from ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is used extensively in this special.
* The cloned {{p|Nidoqueen}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} are shown to have produced offspring. Even if Nidoqueen was able to produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s, the babies would ''all'' be {{p|Nidoran♀|the first member of the female evolutionary line}}. This may be due to [[animation physics]] or their nature as clones, but the fact that nobody questioned their existence (or know about the clones yet) would suggest it was simply an error.
* When the clones are captured by Team Rocket's [[Poké Ball]]s, they become white energy instead of red, as usual. This may be attributed to the nature of clones or the Balls themselves.
* When [[Domino]] tosses out electric net-like lines, they electrocute both Rhyhorn and Nidoqueen clones. However, if clones keep the same type combinations as their originals, their {{t|Ground}} type should make them immune. This may be due to animation physics, the nets being made with advanced technology, or simply because the electricity was not produced from a Pokémon move.
* At the end, Ash says "'''This time''' we'll both be able to remember." This may mean that Mewtwo informed him of their previous encounter. However, this is dub-only.
* At the end, Mewtwo overlooks a city whose buildings are similar to {{wp|New York City}}'s {{wp|Empire State Building}} and {{wp|MetLife Building}}.
** This ending is later referenced in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', when another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} is last seen overlooking a city at night.
* The [[List of English language Pokémon animated special home video releases (Region 2)|United Kingdom VHS release]] refers to the special as ''Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns - The Movie''.
* In ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'', {{an|Brock}} comments that an ice sculpture of {{an|Giovanni}} looks "awfully familiar", implying that the events of this special are [[canon]] to {{aniseries|PTS}}, as this is the only time when Brock has ever met Giovanni.
* The design of Giovanni's airship would later be used as a [[List of cross-canon references|basis]] of the [[Team Rocket airship]] in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.
* A post-credits scene in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' shows Mewtwo and the clones arriving at [[Mount Quena]], foreshadowing the events of this special.

===Errors===
* When the clones are first shown on Mount Quena, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}}'s lower jaw is blue instead of beige.
* While riding on Blastoisetwo's back on their way to the battle, {{MTR}} and {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Meowthtwo}}'s feet are a darker brown than usual.
* Giovanni and [[Domino]] emerge from the helicopter side-by-side, but the next shot shows Domino farther back and the platform appears to have changed shape. When the camera angle changes again, she is back in her original position.
* Originally the machines that trap Mewtwo are different colors; one red, one blue. However when Mewtwo and both Pikachu destroy the red machine, the one that selfdestructs is also red.

===Dub edits===
* The dub adds Mewtwo's beginning monologue of the first movie's events, whereas the original had the montage with no commentary.
* Domino only calls Mount Quena a "remote area in Johto" in the dub.
* Mewtwo's opening lines are mostly different in the dub. After pondering its existence, Mewtwo originally explains who it and the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} accompanying it are, and their origins. In the dub, Mewtwo says it feels it has no right to judge their habitat as beautiful because the clones are artificial. Similarly, the dub implies that the clones were victims of discrimination, while the Japanese version states that they chose to avoid the outside world.
* The dub states that the bus trips are monthly instead of weekly.
* The meal Brock planned to make was changed from pancakes with lots of syrup to "spicy pizza pancakes."
* There were several differences when Meowth reads the Mount Quena guidebook.
** Both versions mention Mt. Quena's volatile typhoons, but the dub adds that severe blizzards and thunderstorms also occur.
** Meowth identifies the storm as a typhoon instead of Jessie.
** The guidebook advises not to go to Mt. Quena in the dub, while the original states that tourists generally avoid it completely.
** Meowth's {{wp|Blowin' in the Wind}} reference was only in the dub. He originally says "Everyone, all together now…" implying that blasting off has become routine.
* [[Luka Carson]] is not identified as Luna's older sister in the dub.
* Brock's comment about getting "real close" under the frying pan was originally about using it as a "[[wiktionary:相合傘|love-love umbrella]]," a term for an umbrella shared by lovers in Japan.
* Luna originally offers to let them in for a shower and change of clothes, but does not mention the chances of going to Mount Quena on foot.
* Instead of denying a soft spot for humans after saving them, Mewtwo thinks about the possibility in the original.
* Luna adds that the lodge was built ten years ago.
* Ash says the water tastes okay in the original, but {{Delia|his mother}}'s chocolate milk tastes better. In the dub, Ash instead says it "tastes like something's been swimming around in it."
* Luna calls Mount Quena the highest mountain in Johto in the dub, whereas she only states that the steep cliffs prevent human activity from accessing the area in the original.
** She also claims that only Pokémon that can survive in the extreme conditions can live up on the mountain, when in the original, she mentions that water flows into Purity Lake through the river.
* The scene in which Mewtwo talks with Pikachutwo and Meowthtwo about their next actions has some differences:
** Mewtwo's attitude is changed from normal to rude and dismissive.
** Pikachutwo originally compares their Mt. Quena hideout to being locked up in a jail cell, something not expressed in the dub.
** Luna's specification that researching native Pokémon is her full-time job and manning the bus stop is part-time are dub-only.
* The dated slang used by Domino when formally introducing herself to Luna was dub-only.
* In the Japanese version, Cullen specifies that he wants to study Purity Lake to verify if it was responsible for the river's famous purity, something not directly stated in the dub.
* When escaping, Jessie makes a reference to the Frank Sinatra song "{{wp|Fly Me to the Moon}}," something not very apparent in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that Mewtwo's companions are "unnatural" in the dub. He originally is not surprised by their presence and mentions that even Mewtwo would desire companionship.
* The dub removes the modified [[Team Rocket]] {{motto}} Domino says in her introduction.
* Domino originally mentions that she is an A-Class Numbers member of Team Rocket, while the dub replaces this with her codenames 009 and Black Tulip.
** Only in the dub does Domino confirm that she works for the Pokémon Institute.
* Jessie originally asks why their hot air balloon has no safety devices at all, when in the dub she considers an alternate mode of transportation.
* Mewtwo's reason for scolding Pikachutwo is changed from having an unnecessary battle with {{AP|Pikachu}} to starting a fight in the first place. In addition, when Mewtwo states that the clones and originals are both living things, the dub adds a reference to the events of the first movie.
* In the original, Mewtwo hoped that the Team Rocket trio would just forget about the clones, but their crashing into Mt. Quena made that impossible, something the dub does not directly indicate.
* Pikachutwo's questioning of its role and existence is more of a rant in the dub.
** In addition, Jessie and James's reasons for sympathizing with the clones were completely different between the versions. In the Japanese, they sympathized with wanting to go out into the world and be free. In the dub, Jessie only seems to sympathize with being a misfit, with James agreeing in a variation of their motto.
* In Pikachutwo's warning to evacuate before Team Rocket arrives, it adds that the experiments they planned to do on them involved cloning, which the Japanese version does not specify.
** Pikachutwo also says that this is their chance to strike, something implied but not directly stated in the dub.
** Mewtwo's comment about evacuating and finding another hideout omits the reference to the humans as their parents.

* Cullen deduces that Purity Lake is the source for Purity River in the dub when he originally states that he found Purity Lake.
* Luna's warning that disrupting the balance of the water would affect the Pokémon's sensibility and personalities in addition to their health was cut in the dub.
* Meowthtwo originally expresses interest in the moon before Meowth warns him to forget it and flee before the Poké Balls capture them, but this was not directly indicated in the dub.
* Mewtwo grunting when using attacks was cut from the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni mentions having put a "considerable investment" on the machines used to contain Mewtwo. In the original line, he merely tells Mewtwo that the power of humans is nothing to look down upon.
* The exchange of words between Mewtwo and Giovanni in the next scene was notably changed in the dub. Mewtwo says that Giovanni will not be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that Mewtwo's Psychic powers cannot influence machines. Mewtwo originally asks if Giovanni thinks heartless machines will be able to defeat it and Giovanni replies that the machines are designed to capture Mewtwo, not defeat it.
* Prior to locking them up, Domino originally gave a thinly veiled threat that she and her men would kill Ash, Misty, Brock, Luna, and Cullen for seeing too much if they dare try to resist their captivity. This was toned down in the dub.
* The scene with Team Rocket in the jail cell is completely different between the two versions: Originally, Jessie and James note they have yet to say their catchphrase when blasting off, so they decide to use it while waiting for Meowth's return. In the dub, they decide to rehearse a new motto in the event of Meowth's desertion, only to use a variation of their blast-off catchphrase.
** The shot of when Jessie and James say "Looks like Team Rocket's never blasting off again!" and the camera zooms out to view Mount Quena was shortened by six seconds in the dub.
* Domino's report has her mentioning Ash's name to Giovanni in the Japanese version, something omitted in the dub.
* Giovanni mentions that depending on Mewtwo's next move, the cloned Pokémon will either live or die in the Japanese version, while the dub has him demanding to know whether Mewtwo intends to let its clone Pokémon battle him alone.
* Instead of Meowth asking to keep his aid to the clones a secret from Giovanni, in the dub he decides to follow Mewtwo's example of selflessness in aiding the clones.
* Mewtwo's and Giovanni's references to death (opting to die over serving Giovanni and threatening to subject the clones to deadly experiments, respectively) were toned down to a softer "leave this world."
* Mewtwo specifies in the Japanese version that Giovanni's after it, not the other clones when deciding to submit, something not made clear in the dub.
* In the dub, Giovanni intends to turn the island into a new laboratory, whereas he talks about a secret base in the original.
* Giovanni claims that he will pursue world domination with Mewtwo leading his army of cloned super-Pokémon in the dub, while he originally says Mewtwo will look forward to the day his army is complete.
* When Giovanni and Domino talk about Mewtwo's weakened state, Domino originally says that Mewtwo's death would be the loss of everything they have worked so hard for. Likely to avoid a reference to death in the dub, Domino says that it would take years to clone Mewtwo again.
* When angry {{t|Bug}} Pokémon start attacking Team Rocket and [[Giovanni's Persian]] grows restless, Giovanni shushes it in the dub, whereas he asks it what is wrong originally.
* When Domino launches several tulips at the Bug Pokémon in the original version, she calls out what can be translated as "Shoot blindly!" or "Disorderly shot!", as if it was the name of an attack like a Pokémon would use. In the dub, there was no dialogue in this scene.
* In the original version, James mentions that Giovanni catching him and Jessie dawdling would look very bad, while in the dub, James says that Giovanni will ask for their expense report as a drastic measure.
* In the dub, Giovanni yells "No!" when Ash moves Mewtwo, but he originally orders his men to go after them.
* In the original, Giovanni says that they must kill all the cloned Pokémon when they prevent him and his men from pursuing Ash and Pikachu. In the dub, he only says that he will "crush them".
* The dub omits Ash's explanation that Mewtwo needs to be completely submerged into Purity Lake if it is to heal since a sip of water might not be enough.
* Mewtwo's soliloquy when being submerged was originally reiterating its questions about itself, and then deciding that it was a living being that deserves to live in this world as much as anyone else.
* After Mewtwo moves the lake into hiding in the dub, Ash says that he wants to tell {{an|Professor Oak}} about this. Originally, Ash awes how amazing Mewtwo's powers are.
* Mewtwo realizing it should not eliminate the shame of the past and protect it from those who do want to silence it was dub-only. Originally, it only said that the clone Pokémon have every right to live in the natural world and they should pursue their own journey.
* When leaving, Meowth originally said the moon was full and the weather was perfect for flying, while in the dub, he tells the clones to say "hello" if they ever fly by their balloon.
* Ash implies that Mewtwo told him about what happened in their prior meeting in the dub, but he only says he would like to meet it again in the original.
* Mewtwo does not mention going from time and space to Ash if it ever hears him in the original, instead mentioning that Ash should turn around if he mentions its name.
* Cullen originally said he was staying behind to continue his research, instead of whether he and Luna had anything in common besides research like in the dub.
* When Ash hears Mewtwo's voice in the big city, it says "I will remember you, always" in the dub, when it originally says "I am here," a reference to the special's Japanese title.
* The [[narrator]]'s closing line says nothing about moonlight in the Japanese version, instead wondering if the rumors of a mysterious Pokémon in living a city somewhere are true or not.

==Blurb==

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it's an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!

Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids' Pokémon so it can even the "imbalance" between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash's protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew!

==Plot==
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}, wanting to find a way to restore life by cloning, leads an expedition to [[Guyana]] after finding evidence of a shrine dedicated to {{p|Mew}}, the world's most powerful—but now said to be extinct—Pokémon. {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]], funds Fuji's research in return for an enhanced, living replica of Mew. Finding a fossilized eyelash of Mew, Fuji and his team create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Upon gaining consciousness, a confused Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. Just then, Mewtwo fully wakes up in a stasis tube in one of Fuji's laboratories, where the scientists study it. Mewtwo breaks out of its test tube; Dr. Fuji tells Mewtwo that it was made by [[human]]s and is a clone of, but much more powerful than Mew. Mewtwo is angry that the scientists see it more as a result of their project and less of a sentient being, so it destroys the lab and kills all of the scientists. Dr. Fuji says to himself that he succeeded in creating the world's most powerful Pokémon before dying at the hands of his creation. Then, Giovanni arrives in his private helicopter and offers to help Mewtwo focus its powers. Mewtwo takes up the offer and is put in a suit of armor.

Over the next few weeks, Mewtwo does most of Team Rocket's dirty work, capturing [[wild Pokémon]] and beating any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that challenges the [[Viridian Gym]], including [[Gary Oak]]. When Giovanni tells Mewtwo that its purpose is to serve him and obey humans, claiming it could never be their equal, Mewtwo angrily blasts away, destroying its armor and the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, and vows from atop the island it was created to begin its reign on Earth.

[[File:Messenger Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dragonite shows up to deliver an invitation]]
Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are preparing for lunch when a Trainer named [[Raymond]] shows up and challenges Ash. With his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, Ash easily beats Raymond. What Ash doesn't realize is that he's being watched, not only by Team Rocket, but by a mysterious third party. Team Rocket watch hungrily as the [[twerp]]s eat {{an|Brock}}'s cooking. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} flies in with a letter for Ash and his friends. It projects a hologram of a mysterious woman who tells the Trainers to head to [[Old Shore Wharf]] to get to an island fortress called [[New Island]].

Later, as a storm brews, Ash and his friends arrives at the [[Pokémon Center]], whose [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for a while now. [[Officer Jenny]] informs the gathered Trainers that the ferry to New Island has been canceled. {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}, the piermaster, tells them that she has lived on the pier all her life and that the current storm is the fiercest she's ever seen. She tells a story to everyone present about how some people died in a storm many years ago; however, legend has it that the tears of a Pokémon restored the people to life.

Soon, most of the other Pokémon Trainers—ignoring Jenny and Miranda's warnings—take off for New Island. Ash and his friends are eager to follow, but none of their Pokémon are strong enough to handle the giant waves. Team Rocket, under disguise, gives Ash and friends a boat ride. Later, Team Rocket's disguise was uncovered. However, the storm proves too much for them, and as the strong wind and waves hit against the boat, it capsizes and everyone is sent into the ocean. Ash and his friends save themselves by using Ash's Squirtle and [[Misty's Staryu]] to get to New Island.

As the heroes barely arrive at New Island, the mystery woman from the hologram letter greets them and takes them to the dining room to meet the other Trainers who arrived safely. Brock says that she looked familiar, however, the woman denies it and shows them to the castle.

Meanwhile, as Team Rocket tries to get inside the fortress, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Mew|M01}} senses something troubling and arrives at New Island, and follows closely behind Team Rocket.

[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo greets Trainers to New Island]]
As they arrive in the dining room, Ash and his friends meet three Pokémon Trainers named [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and [[Corey]]. Just then, the mystery woman introduces everybody in the room to her master, who is revealed to be Mewtwo. Fergus insults Mewtwo, who sends him flying. Fergus has his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Mewtwo easily reflects it. Mewtwo releases the woman from its control. When Brock quickly catches her, it is revealed that the mystery woman is the missing Nurse Joy, whom Mewtwo had taken under its control due to her knowledge of Pokémon physiology. Mewtwo tells the Trainers that humans are weak and cruel, and have made all Pokémon their slaves. It also says that Pokémon are no better off since they choose to associate with humans.

As Team Rocket gets into the fortress and make their way into a laboratory, they come across a weird-looking machine, a computer, and several Pokémon sleeping in giant pods. [[Jessie]] accidentally sits on the computer controls, which plays back a recorded message from Dr. Fuji about the fossilized eyelash of Mew that was used to create Mewtwo. Suddenly, the machine takes a piece of hair from Meowth to create a clone of him. Summoned by Mewtwo, the cloned Pokémon awaken and exit to their master.

Mewtwo leads Ash and the other Trainers into the stadium part of the fortress and suggests that they should battle Pokémon to see who is the strongest, the clones versus the originals. [[Ash's Charizard]], Corey's {{p|Venusaur}}, and Neesha's {{p|Blastoise}} are no match for Mewtwo's clones. With the Pokémon defeated, Mewtwo summons its own specialized [[Poké Ball]]s, the Mewtwo Balls, and uses them to capture Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, claiming them as its prize. Mewtwo announces that the other Pokémon will be taken to be cloned. The clones will remain safe on the island while Mewtwo's storms destroy the planet. Mewtwo sends its Balls after the Pokémon.

[[File:Neesha Vileplume.png|thumb|left|250px|Neesha attempts to protect her Pokémon]]
Immediately, all the Trainers are on the run. Some Pokémon are captured before they realize what's happening, some attempt to outrun the Mewtwo Balls, and some attempt to use their attacks to defend themselves. However, it proves to be useless as nearly all the Pokémon end up being captured one by one. Ash deduces that Pokémon inside their Poké Balls should be safe from capture and [[recall]]s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, it turns out to be no use, as the Mewtwo Balls instead capture the {{i|Poké Ball}}s whole with Bulbasaur and Squirtle still inside. Brock suggests carrying the Pokémon away, but while {{an|Misty}} successfully hides {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside her [[bag|backpack]], {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} aren't so lucky and are also caught.

{{AP|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon still uncaptured, and as a result, he's now the only target of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash uses his body to block them, giving Pikachu a chance to run. Pikachu heads towards a nearby suspended staircase and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to take out a few of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash follows him up the staircase. Pikachu is forced to use his Thunder Shock every few seconds, which in combination with constantly being on the run, leaves him exhausted. As a result, Pikachu is forced off the staircase while dodging the Balls, falling a long way. Ash jumps off after Pikachu to protect him, but before he can grab his friend, a Mewtwo Ball finally manages to capture Pikachu. Ash grabs the Ball before he falls into the pool of water at the base of the staircase, and loses his grip on it underwater. Ash follows it, out of the pool, and towards the entrance to the laboratory where Team Rocket is.

The same machine that cloned Meowth earlier is now processing all of the Mewtwo Balls, and Ash grabs the one Pikachu is in just as the machine does as well. Fighting against the machine's many arms, Ash eventually manages to pull the Mewtwo Ball away, destroying the machine in the process. Pikachu is released from the Mewtwo Ball and shakes himself off. Happily, he reunites with Ash, but the clones are now freed from their stasis tubes, prepared to join Mewtwo. The remaining Mewtwo Balls are released from the machine in an explosion, and all open to free the Pokémon inside, including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and their Poké Balls.

Mewtwo releases the other humans and is soon joined by its clone army. Ash emerges from the smoke with his and every Trainer's Pokémon and proclaims that they won't let Mewtwo's plan succeed. He tries to punch Mewtwo, but Mewtwo's force field knocks him down. Ash goes in for another punch, but this time, Mewtwo sends him flying at a high point of the castle. Ash is saved from the blow by a large, pink bubble. Then Mew comes onto the scene, having created the bubble that protected Ash. Mew is soon targeted by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from Mewtwo, who says that clones are far more powerful than the originals. Mew communicates with Mewtwo that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart, which is translated by Meowth. Disgusted, Mewtwo throws another Shadow Ball at Mew, who dodges it, but the blast hits Ash. With Mewtwo blocking all the Pokémon's special moves, a widespread melee begins between the Pokémon and their clones.

[[File:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo and Mew]]
Ash survives the blast but is horrified to see all the Pokémon fighting their clones, especially Pikachu getting slapped endlessly by his [[Pikachutwo|clone]]. He eventually falls back down to the stadium floor, prompting Misty, Brock, and Nurse Joy to come to his aid. They see now how horrible this kind of fighting is, and that the originals and clones will never give up, resulting in their deaths. Ash realizes someone has to take a stand and refuse to fight like Pikachu is.

As Team Rocket also look on in horror, Meowth is approached by his clone. Although the two briefly get ready to fight, they realize the pointlessness of it and instead talk about how, no matter how different people are, they all share a lot in common on this planet.

Just as Mew and Mewtwo are emanating large auras of psychic energy in preparation for their most powerful energy blasts, Ash, frightened and angered by the continuous fighting, runs between them, demanding them to stop their futile battle. The two blasts of energy strike with Ash in the crossfire, and due to the magnitude of concentrated power, Ash is turned to stone. Mewtwo, shocked by Ash's recklessness, calls him a fool.

The stadium becomes silent, save for Pikachu, who runs to Ash's side. After trying to wake him up, Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt in vain, as Ash stays unmoving and has no sign of life. Pikachu begins to cry at losing his best friend, as do the rest of the Pokémon in the stadium due to Ash's noble and brave sacrifice in the name of their salvation. The tears of all the Pokémon come together and magically revive Ash, bringing him back to life just like in the story Miranda told earlier.

After witnessing all of this, Mewtwo states that it does not matter who is more powerful, that the clones and originals both have value, and that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant: it is what one does with life that determines one's destiny. Mewtwo also says that it would be best if no one knew about what happened. When Mewtwo flies off, it tells Ash that it will find a place where it and the clones can live in peace. As a result, all of the memories of this event are erased from the Trainers' minds.

Ash, Misty, Brock, and everyone else instantly find themselves back at the Pokémon Center with no memory of their adventure on New Island. Nurse Joy is also back, offering shelter from the storm. Going out to the pier, Ash sees Mew in the clouds as the storm ends and tells Misty and Brock that [[EP001|when his journey began]], he saw a {{an|Ho-Oh|mysterious Pokémon}}, and now he believes he just saw another. Misty thinks that Ash was just imagining it, but Brock points out that maybe he wasn't. With that, the three friends prepare to continue their journey.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket, on the now-empty and green New Island and with no clue how they got here, decide to take a vacation as the credits begin to roll.

==Major events==
* [[Ash's Squirtle]] is revealed to know {{m|Bubble Beam}}.
* {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} meet {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} and {{OBP|Mew|M01}}, but Mewtwo later makes them forget about the encounter.

==Scenes in episodes==
[[File:Mewtwo in armor.png|thumb|220px|Giovanni controlled Mewtwo with a special suit of armor]]
The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in scenes that prelude this movie. These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the {{pkmn|animated series}}'s four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18.

The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie.

In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio go to {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, apologize to Giovanni, and have a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of when Mewtwo is first shown in its armor, though this scene chronologically took place after the scene in the movie.

The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of Team Rocket HQ in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation. The shot of Giovanni's helicopter taking off in this episode uses the same animation (played in reverse) of the same helicopter landing on New Island in the movie.

==Alternate versions==
===''Kanzenban'' version===
In Japan, the theatrical version had only two home video releases (VHS, February 12, 1999; LaserDisc, July 17, 1999) and was never shown on TV. A new version of the movie, known as the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: 完全版 ''full version''), has been shown in all television airings in Japan (the first one being on July 8, 1999) and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one (VHS, November 12, 1999) onward: this version contains additional scenes and CGI edits.

====Additional scenes====
=====The Birth of Mewtwo=====
{{main|The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin}}
A ten-minute short known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') was added at the beginning of the movie in the ''kanzenban'' version: this short details the history of Mewtwo's creation (based on the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]''), increasing the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes and the prologue's length from 10 to 20 minutes. Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in the United States, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the short while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' for the rest of the movie instead of the footage from the Japanese theatrical version. On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released in home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': in the VHS these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie while in the DVD they were included as an extra. On June 23, 2000, a Japanese DVD of the movie was released with both a Japanese and an English audio track, and this marked the first time the full English dubbed version of the short was available; it was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' in the Special Features of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001, in Australia and on December 4, 2001, in the United States.
* The first scene (the only one that was included on the American VHS/DVD release of the movie) centered around a group of explorers who found an ancient engraving of Mew and a fossil of its eyelash.
* The second detailed {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s attempts to clone {{an|Amber|his daughter}}, who had died as a child, Mew, and the Kanto starters.
* The final scene detailed a young Mewtwo's telepathic interaction with clones of the [[Kanto]] starters and Amber Fuji.

=====Satoshi's Journey=====
The VHS release of the ''kanzenban'' adds another segment to the beginning of the movie right before ''The Birth of Mewtwo'', known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|サトシの旅立ち|Satoshi no Tabidachi}}''' ''Satoshi's Journey''). This 5-minute short acts as an intro sequence to the movie, increasing the movie's length further from 85 to 90 minutes. It recaps the start of Ash's [[Pokémon journey]], featuring reanimated scenes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Parts were later reused for the intro sequence of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'' as well as ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'' in the dub.

====CGI edits====
All the following edits were made for the "kanzenban" and then used in international releases of the movie:
* In the wide shot of Mewtwo facing Dr. Fuji, who is explaining to it how it was created, two large test tubes were shown positioned on either side of the screen in front of the characters and magnifying them. These were pushed off to the edge of the screen in the newer version of the film.
* When Mewtwo is being suited up with armor, Giovanni is covered in shadow (much like his first appearances in the {{pkmn|animated series}}). In the newer version the scene was changed so he could be seen better, probably because his identity in the animated series had already been revealed in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''.
* A CGI panning effect was added to the Gym floor when Mewtwo battles a Trainer's {{p|Onix}}.
* When Mewtwo first summons the storm, the shadow color on its hand is changed from purple to pinkish-red.
* Mew floating up to the surface of the water in a bubble was completely re-animated.
* Throughout the film, the original hand-drawn clouds of Mewtwo's storm are replaced with more realistic-looking CGI clouds. The water in the storm is also altered to have different shades of blue.
* Mewtwo's castle is changed from hand-drawn to CGI.
* The shot of the big doors opening was replaced with CGI doors. When the door closes in front of Ash, the scene now pans all the way back to Team Rocket facing the door when it was originally a {{wp|Dissolve (filmmaking)|dissolve}}.
* Another CGI panning effect was added for the shot of Rhyhorn charging toward Mewtwo.
* The big reveal of Mewtwo's stadium was rendered with CGI.
* The scene of Ash walking forward with all the rescued Pokémon was altered to have them fade into sight. In the original, they were drawn as black silhouettes slowly walking outward through the smoke and their bodies interacted with it more. This was also seen in the US trailer of ''Pokémon the First Movie''.
* When Ash is looking down at the Pokémon fighting their clones, they were all originally drawn as silhouettes.
* The tears of life from the Pokémon were changed to CGI.
* Animation of water rippling is added to what was mostly a still shot in the original version.
* The sky during the fire sequence was recolored.
* More bubbles were added to the opening sequence.
* There are three different versions of Mew flying across the sky and in front of the moon; a trailer where the moon is yellow, the original version has it gray, and the final version has a GCI moon.

===Digitally remastered version===
Similar to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', the ''Kanzenban'' version of this movie was digitally remastered to HD, complete with slight color correction. An error is also corrected where [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} now comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] only once. It was released on Blu-Ray in Japan on November 28, 2012 with a boxset containing all the movies up to [[M13]], and aired on May 3, 2013 on [[TV Tokyo]]. The dub (which retains the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] audio) aired on Cartoon Network January 4, 2014, and was re-released on [[Pokémon TV]] June 6, 2015. In addition to all of the changes in the Japanese version, [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] is once again cut out, along with the Alakazam error in the Cartoon Network version. The opening{{tt|*|Cartoon Network version only, they are removed from the Pokémon TV version}} and ending{{tt|*|Pokémon TV re-release only}} credits are retyped in the Arial font instead of {{wp|Comic Sans}}, and the copyright year 2014 (2015 for the re-release) was added to the end of the credits. The Warner Bros. distribution screen at the end was removed.

===Remake===
{{main|M22|Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution}}
The movie was remade as a 3D-animated film titled ''Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution''. It debuted in Japanese in July 2019 and in English in February 2020.

==Trivia==
[[File:Fourth Trainer.png|thumb|200px|The fourth Trainer seen on the far right before leaving]]
[[File:Female Trainer M01 Fearow.png|thumb|200px|The female Trainer leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[EP065]], where Mewtwo is seen escaping from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. This mismatch was caused by the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]] causing the {{pkmn|animated series}} to be put on hiatus for several months.
** Had the hiatus not occurred, this movie would have likely premiered between [[EP067]] and [[EP068]].
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue. The prologue was further extended to 20 minutes in the Japanese extended version and twelve minutes in the international extended version.
** According to [[Takeshi Shudō]], the movie's writer, the prologue was only added after it was clear that the hiatus would make it impossible to have {{p|Mewtwo}} appear in the TV series before the movie's premiere.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167</ref> Originally, Mewtwo would first appear onscreen when it revealed itself to the Trainers on [[New Island]], explaining why Mewtwo is only partially shown in-between the opening credits and its entrance on New Island.
* Mewtwo in this movie was heavily inspired by the titular character in ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera (novel)|The Phantom of the Opera}}''. Takeshi Shudō made this decision upon learning that [[Masachika Ichimura]], who played the Phantom in the 1988 Japanese production of {{wp|The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)#Other international productions|the musical}}, would be voicing the character. As a result, Mewtwo in the movie ended up possessing a castle to mirror the opera house.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo168</ref><ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo169</ref>
* According to Takeshi Shudō's notes on the movie, {{Ash}} was petrified but not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's {{m|Psychic}} blasts collided with him, and the tears simply restored him.
* Despite being on the English movie poster, none of the following Pokémon are in the movie: Goldeen, Omastar, Nidoran♂, Nidoran♀, Cubone, Tangela, Kakuna, Lickitung, Mr. Mime, Clefairy, and Kabuto.
* Several [[move]]s were used by Pokémon in this movie that were not yet available in the {{pkmn|games}}. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}} used {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} (itself a Pokémon not yet available) used {{m|Rollout}}.
* Other than [[Corey]], [[Fergus]], and [[Neesha]], a female fourth {{pkmn|Trainer}} takes off from the pier on the back of a Fearow. She is seen flying Fearow while Fergus and Neesha ride their {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. She likely never made it to [[New Island]], unlike the others.
** She is the only character who leaves for New Island but never appears again. Mewtwo wipes the memories of everyone on New Island and transports them back to the mainland (except for Team Rocket), but this Trainer completely disappears.
* Of the Pokémon seen at the gathering, only [[Misty's Togepi]] was not captured and cloned by Mewtwo due to {{an|Misty}} hiding it in her [[bag]].
* Though Mewtwo owned a cloned {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, they were not cloned from the Trainers' Pokémon. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired itself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.
** These three Pokémon happen to be the fully evolved forms of {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends}}, who died when Mewtwo was young.
* In the English dub, [[Jessie]] makes a reference to ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}''.
* In Japan, this movie (paired with the ''Pikachu's Vacation'' short) was released on {{wp|LaserDisc}}, being the only Pokémon media to be released on this medium.
* The North American VHS release features an introduction to the tape's contents by {{an|Professor Oak}}, utilizing footage from [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|his lecture]] on Alakazam from [[EP066]].
* Despite the English [[dub]] using the ''kanzenban'' footage, the opening of the original North American DVD release uses a hand-drawn shot of the big doors opening.
* The title of this movie is also used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Mewtwo's trailer] for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].
* The [https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4308232 movie's first trailer] showed several prominent scenes that never appear in the movie. They were promotional scenes made before the movie script was finished.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_the_first_trailer.html Mewtwo Strikes Back The First Trailer - Dogasu's Backpack]</ref> Most notable were scenes of Ash fleeing an explosion, a woman who looks like Misty accompanying {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} and a younger character, and {{TRT}} standing on a warship.
* On the 23rd anniversary of the movie's release, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] posted an image to Twitter homaging the scene of Pikachutwo slapping Pikachu and mentioning the scene always made him cry.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/1416593567519154178</ref>
* Some of Mew's lines from this movie can be heard in the first four [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] games and {{g|Snap}}.
* The movie's title in Japanese is most likely based on either the Japanese title of ''{{wp|The Empire Strikes Back}}'' (帝国の逆襲 ''Teikoku no Gyakushū'') or the 1988 mecha film ''{{wp|Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack}}'' (機動戦士ガンダム逆襲のシャア ''Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Gyakushū no Char'').
[[File:Agatha M01.png|thumb|200px|The shadowed Trainer that resembles [[Agatha]]]]
* The battle shown on Ash's [[television]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' is reanimated and expanded upon in the "kanzenban" version of the movie, showing more of the battle between {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Onix}}.
** Unlike in the first episode, Gengar's {{pkmn|Trainer}} is shown here, though obscured in shadow, and bears a strong resemblance to [[Agatha]], much like how Onix’s Trainer resembles [[Bruno]].
* When the cloned Pokémon's silhouettes are displayed, {{TRT}} asks themselves: "[[Who's That Pokémon?]]" ("''Dare da?''" in the Japanese version), a reference to the segment.

* When New Island is reflected in {{an|Giovanni}}'s helicopter, the reflection is not reversed.
* When Giovanni tells Mewtwo to use its powers, Mewtwo's arm is missing.
* In Ash and {{ashfr}}' first appearance, the stripes on Ash's bag are colored green instead of cream and orange.
* {{p|Machamp}} being sent out by Raymond is shown twice.
* Early in the movie, Pikachu defeats Raymond's {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect because Golem is a {{type|Ground}}.
* When Team Rocket is spying on Ash and his friends as they are having lunch, [[James]]'s strand of hair is transparent for a moment.
* Mewtwo is colored pink as it begins creating the storm. In a later shot of Mewtwo intensifying the storm, its color is corrected.
* When Ash and his friends enter the terminal, the inside of a {{p|Raichu}}'s ear is colored brown like the rest of the ear instead of yellow.
* When Misty takes the white card, the marks on Ash's cheeks are missing. This also happens when Ash asks Mewtwo where it is going.
* In two very similar shots at the beginning and end of the movie, as [[Officer Jenny]] warns the Trainers about the storm, the backpacks of [[Corey]] and [[Fergus]] drastically shrink in size.
* When Fergus releases his Gyarados into the water to ride on its back, its lips are blue instead of yellow.
* When Jenny's hat flies off, the loops of Miranda's earrings are colored in.
* In the scene right before explaining how he got to New Island, Corey's jacket stamp disappears.
* In the shot after Corey shows his Pokémon to Ash and his friends, Ash's pupils are entirely brown instead of mostly black with some brown.
* When Fergus runs over to his injured Gyarados, his Nidoqueen has the color scheme of a {{p|Nidoking}}.
* Right before Ash charges at Mewtwo, one frame shows {{p|Rapidash}} without its flames. This was fixed in later releases.
* When the clones enter with an explosion and emerge from the smoke, [[Pikachutwo]]'s black-tipped ears are the same as a normal {{p|Pikachu}}'s and Golduck is greenish teal instead of blue.
* When Vaporeontwo is first lowered into its tube, it has two nostrils instead of a single black dot for its nose.
* After Ash's Bulbasaur is released from Mewtwo's Poké Ball, Ash's mouth moves but no audio comes out, whereas he addresses Pikachu and Squirtle by name once released.
* On the DVD scene selection, {{p|Togepi}} is listed as Pokémon {{p|Chikorita|#152}}. However, prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Togepi had been given #152 in other media as well.
* In the English dub:
** Three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. {{p|Pidgeot}} is called {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{p|Scyther}} is called {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} is called {{p|Sandshrew}}. In the audio commentary, [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake{{fact}}. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV.
*** In addition, the closed captioning for the re-release and on Pokémon TV have Corey correctly referring to his Pokémon as a Pidgeot.
** Fergus states that all of his Pokémon are {{t|Water}} types, but he also has a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.
*** However, in the Japanese version, he says all his Pokémon can swim to the location; this statement is true, as Nidoqueen can learn {{m|Surf}} in [[Generation I]].
** While Ash is looking at Fergus's Pokémon, his Japanese voice can be faintly heard over the voice of the Pokémon.
** Pikachutwo's cheek pouches surge with electricity even though Mewtwo blocked the Pokémon's special abilities. The original version says nothing about the Pokémon's abilities being blocked, and they simply clash physically out of pure hatred.
** The retyped ending credits of the remastered version [[List of typos|misspell]] [[Don't Say You Love Me]] as Don't Say '''Your''' Love Me and accidentally list '''Bolly Crawford''' instead of Billy Crawford as the singer of the opening song.
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the episodes of the animated series, resulting in several dubbing errors:
** In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{p|Charmander}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.
** In one scene, a Trainer calls his {{p|Kingler}} with an unknown name.
** In another scene, Neesha calls her {{p|Blastoise}} by its Japanese name, ''Kamex''.
** In the cloning scene, {{MTR}} says "{{p|Chikorita}}" when speaking about {{p|Vaporeon}}.
** When Meowth talks with the clone Meowth, one line in human language was said by the clone Meowth despite the fact that the clone Meowth can't speak the human language.
* In the Swedish dub, when Jessie comments on Meowth's hair being cloned, her voice is computerized like the machine that speaks afterwards.
* When Ash looks up to ask where Mewtwo, Mew, and the clones will be going, the "z" mark on his cheek is missing.
* In the final shot of the ending credits, the front of [[Ash's hat]] is colored red instead of white.

===Dub edits===
* The message and themes of the movie were changed in the English dub. The Japanese version explores ethical themes of existensialism, whereas the English dub replaces it with an anti-violence message. This was explained by Takeshi Shudo in his blog.<ref>http://style.fm/as/05_column/shudo183</ref>
* Mewtwo's personality and goal are different between the original version and the English dub. In the English dub, Mewtwo is more boastful about its powers and certain about superiority to Mew and wants to destroy the world with a hurricane it created to get revenge on humanity. In the original version, Mewtwo is instead portrayed as a confused being who questions its worth as a clone and wished to have a more direct confrontation with humanity.
* Giovanni was never mentioned by the scientists in the laboratory in the original version, and all the references to him were added in the English dub.
* There was no alarm sounding during Mewtwo's awakening in the Japanese version.
* The dialogue in the scene where {{an|Dr. Fuji}} tells Mewtwo about its origins was altered in the English dub. In the original version, Mewtwo asks if Mew is its mother or father, and when Dr. Fuji tells that neither "yes" or "no" would be a wrong answer, it asks if it was created by {{wp|God in Christianity|God}}. To this, Dr. Fuji replies that in this world, the only ones capable of creating life are God and humans, and Mewtwo was created through human science.
** In addition, the Japanese version had the scientists shortly before Mewtwo's rampage merely congratulating themselves on a job well done with Mewtwo's creation. The English dub had added references to creating a new tank and implying that they'll stuff Mewtwo in a cage until the tank's ready, presumably to make the scientists less sympathetic before they were killed by their creation.
* While Giovanni tells Mewtwo about seeing it as a valuable partner in the English dub, in the Japanese version, he tells it that there is something even stronger than it in this world, to which Mewtwo replies, "Humans?" receiving a nod of approval from Giovanni.
* Giovanni denies that Mewtwo's armor is meant to suppress its powers in the English dub, stating that it is rather meant to "focus" them. In the original Japanese, Giovanni says that Mewtwo's job is to fight for Team Rocket.
* In the scene of Mewtwo alone in Giovanni's headquarters, no dialogue was originally heard. In the English dub, Mewtwo thinks about its purpose.
* In the original release for the movie, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} twice. It is unknown whether this was mistakenly repeated or intentionally done for dynamic effect, but it would seem to be a mistake as this was corrected when the digitally remastered version came out.
* When Meowth complains about his hunger, Jessie takes out a frying pan and states that she could cook something, to which Meowth replies "Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you took out eight of my nine lives." In the Japanese version, Jessie simply points out that she has a frying pan, to which Meowth replies that without meat and vegetables, it is nothing more than an iron pan.
* Miranda's story about the power of Pokémon tears to revive people only exists in the English version. Originally, she only says that the storm is the greatest she has ever seen.
* During the opening song after {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's Donphan, Ash's mouth moves. He says nothing in the Japanese version, while in the English dub, there is a dialogue.
* In the original Japanese version, Ash and {{an|Brock}} comment that they are fortunate that a boat appeared. In various dubs, this was changed to a reference to vikings:
** In the English dub, when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says "''Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed."), and Ash replies "''Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.''" ("Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.") This is probably a reference to the fact that at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says "''Vikingerne er et band.''" ("The Vikings is a band.") This is likely a reference to The Vikings, an old Swedish band.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, Brock says "''Inte visste jag att vikingarna fanns kvar.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.") and Ash replies "''Det är för att de flesta bor i Norge.''" ("That's because most of them live in Norway"). Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
*** Additionally, when Jessie poses as a Viking, she speaks with a fake Norwegian accent, adding the stereotypical word ''akkurat'', meaning "correct" in Norwegian, at the end of her sentence.
** In the {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}} dub, Brock says "''Onko viikenkejä vielä olemassa?''" ("Are vikings still around") and Ash replies "''On niitä Sipoon saaristossa.''" ("There are some in the Sipoo archipelago"). {{wp|Sipoo}} is a municipality by the coastline of southern Finland.
** In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, Ash replies that the Vikings mostly live in {{wp|Scandinavia}}.
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} dub, [[Misty's Staryu]] makes no sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the movie, Staryu's voice can be heard twice.
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Corey is referred to as [[Gary Oak]].
* When Mewtwo first speaks to the gathered Trainers via its caretaker, the Japanese version has Misty remarking on its voice in shock, with Brock directly stating that its using telepathy to communicate. The English dub merely has Misty directly asking how Mewtwo is able to speak, with Brock merely stating that it is "psychic" without directly confirming its use of telepathy.
* In the English dub, the Pokémon Replication System switches between a female computer voice and the recorded voice of Dr. Fuji. In the original version, Dr. Fuji's is the only voice.
** In the English dub, Dr. Fuji's message was made to sound like it was being recorded while Mewtwo was destroying the laboratory, with the sounds of explosions and screaming occasionally heard at the background. This is not the case in the Japanese version.
* Ash says nothing about Charizard not having a nickname in the Japanese version.
* During the match between [[Ash's Charizard]] and the clone {{p|Charizard}}, in the Japanese version, Mewtwo tells the clone to use {{m|Seismic Toss}}, while in the English dub, it just tells the clone to "finish it" without specifying a [[move]].
* Shortly before the clones appear in the arena, Mewtwo originally offers to let the Trainers go, on the condition that they can get through its storm. In the English dub, Mewtwo only tells them it'll spare their lives for the moment, leaving the reason why it then opens the doors out of the arena more unclear.
* When the clones emerge into the arena, Mewtwo was originally confused by their sudden appearance. In the English dub, Mewtwo proudly presents its clones, appearing to have somewhat expected their arrival.
* In the English dub, specifically during the speech Mew gives to Mewtwo, Mew says that shows of force prove nothing, and real strength comes from the heart; in the original Japanese version, Mew is much more bellicose, saying that only the original Pokémon are real, and no matter how much they fight, the real ones will never lose to copies.
* During the battle between the original and clone Pokémon, in the Japanese version the background music is a variation of ''[[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Best#Tracklist 2|Colossal Battle]]'' (listed as 1997-1998＿M14) followed by soft instrumental music. In the English version, ''[[Brother My Brother]]'' plays, a song promoting peace.
* The English script contains an anti-racism moral. Meowth, agreeing with his clone, says, "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?" In the original version, Meowthtwo refuses to fight because it is pointless and harmful, opting instead to marvel at the full moon, which Meowth calls poetic.
* When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try to bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one example being the facetious "My bike..."
* Mewtwo says much less at the end of the original version, telling Mew that these events are best forgotten, and only saying to Ash that the clones will live somewhere in the {{pkmn|world}}.
* In the English dub, after being returned back to the port, Brock admires how beautiful [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are. In the original Japanese version of the movie, Brock is admiring Miranda as well.
* [[James]] and Meowth originally said nothing just before the credits rolled.
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub used the original Japanese version of the movie. As such, characters that had not appeared in the main series, such as {{an|Amber}}, kept their Japanese names.
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the English ending themes are replaced with instrumental music from the American soundtrack.

'''Bunnelby''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホルビー''' ''Horubee'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Diggersby}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Bunnelby is a small, gray, rabbit-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The tips of its large ears are dark brown and have three finger-like sections each. It has black eyes, a small pink nose, prominent round cheeks, two tiny whiskers on each cheek, and large upper incisors. Its neck is surrounded by a ruff of stiff, brown fur. There are small brown spots on its hind legs and it has brown toes. It also has a fluffy gray tail.

Bunnelby's hand-like ears are strong enough to shovel dirt and chop tree roots. It can dig a nest up to 33 feet in just one night. Bunnelby are known to dig throughout the whole night without even stopping to rest. Bunnelby is very sensitive when it comes to danger. {{p|Corviknight}} is a natural predator of Bunnelby. Should it hear Corviknight's flapping, it will quickly dig a hole to hide underground.

===Evolution===
Bunnelby evolves into {{p|Diggersby}}.

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

==Trivia==


===Origin===
Bunnelby seems to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}}. Its ability to use its ears as digging tools to excavate through earth and roots may be a reference to {{wp|trowel}}s or {{wp|shovel}}s. Additionally, its red eyes and white ear tips in its Shiny form may be based on albinism.

====Name origin====
Bunnelby may be a combination of ''bunny'' and ''tunnel''. It may also involve ''{{wp|wallaby}}'' or ''baby''.

Horubee may be a combination of 掘る ''horu'' (to dig) or ''hole'', ''rabbit'', and possibly ''wallaby'' or ''baby''.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon.

Kadabra emits {{wp|alpha wave}}s strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backward, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its Evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Kadabra and its evolved form, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Evolution===
Kadabra evolves from {{p|Abra}} and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}}.

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

==In the manga==
[[File:Sabrina Kadabra Adventures.png|210px|thumb|Kadabra in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Sabrina's Kadabra}}
[[Sabrina]] owns a Kadabra, which debuted in ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''.

In ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'', a Kadabra was in a [[Poké Ball]] at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s laboratory in [[Cherrygrove City]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Kadabra (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Kadabra figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Kadabra|13}}

==Trivia==
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Localization-specific information|Pokémon Red and Blue beta}}, Kadabra was originally known as "Pocus".
* [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] says that Kadabra's [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Red and Green|s}} is a reference to an in-universe novel "Transformation" that won the second Pokémon Literary Award. The plot of this in-universe novel seems to resemble the {{wp|Franz Kafka}} novel ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}'' whose title has had the alternate translation of ''The Transformation''.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a {{DL|List of glitches in Generation II|Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug}} causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
* If a Kadabra holds an [[Everstone]] from [[Generation III]] onwards while traded, the Everstone will not take effect and the Kadabra will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}. While it shares this trait with {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Haunter}} in Generation III due to a glitch, Kadabra keeps this trait in [[Generation IV]] onwards while the other three do not.

===Design variations===
Kadabra's original front [[#Sprites|sprite]] in {{game|Red and Green|s}} lacks the star on its head and the pattern on its abdomen. The star is also missing from its sprite in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. Additionally, Kadabra's Red and Green sprite appears to depict it with four fingers on its hand instead of three, with its middle finger folded into its palm. In its corresponding artwork for the game, this finger is missing, but the knuckle is still visible. All other depictions of Kadabra use the three-fingered hand design. This may relate to a similar phenomenon affecting other Pokémon that originally had [[Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|four fingers on each hand]].

===Controversy===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Uri Geller|Pokémon controversies → Uri Geller}}
For 20 years, Kadabra was not printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the English {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion in 2003. This was likely the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from illusionist {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed that Kadabra is a parody of him and attempted to sue Nintendo over the notion. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller [https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 released an apology on Twitter], announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card released since Uri Geller's dismissal of his lawsuit is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, released on September 22, 2023.

Due to the now-lifted limitation, very few {{TCG|Abra}} were printed, with the sole example, the {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} in {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, having the ability to evolve directly into {{TCG|Alakazam}} via the '''Ultra Evolution''' {{TCG|attack}}. Alakazam cards also saw fewer than normal printings, but snuck into sets using a number of mechanics that allow for it to be printed as a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} that does not evolve from Kadabra. Examples include [[Alakazam ☆ (EX Crystal Guardians 99)|Alakazam]] {{Star}}, [[Alakazam-EX (Fates Collide 25)|Alakazam]]{{EX}}, and {{TCG ID|Silver Tempest|Radiant Alakazam|59}}.

For possibly the same reason, Kadabra had not made any animated appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' aired in the United States in 2006, except for a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]''. Kadabra finally made its media reappearance in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie. Notably, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Mira]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', she was seen using an Abra instead of a Kadabra as she does in the {{pkmn|games}}, despite the fact that the other [[Stat Trainers]] in the series own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.

Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.

===Origin===
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its mustache-like tufts of fur may be an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. As it created its spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}'' or the ''{{Wp|Ultra Q}}'' episode "Kanegon's Cocoon", where a young boy transformed into a strange yellow monster.

====Name origin====
Kadabra may be derived from ''{{wp|abracadabra}}'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}.

Yungerer may be named after ''{{wp|Uri Geller}}'', an illusionist famed for his spoon-bending technique. This contributed to Geller {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|suing}} [[Nintendo]] for using his likeness in a character.

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Alakazam''' using the [[Alakazite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Alakazam OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Alakazam for the [[original series]]]]
Alakazam is a slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large mustache. A female Alakazam has a significantly shorter mustache than a male. It has a long, thin snout, narrow eyes, ear-like spikes extending from the top of its head, and an additional spike protruding from each cheek. Covering its yellow, skeletal body are brown armor-like sections over its chest, shoulders, forearms, and knees. There are three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw. Two of the toes face forward, while one faces backward. It wields a silver spoon in each hand, which act as amplifiers for its psychic abilities. The spoons are created using its psychic powers, and it may give one to someone it trusts. According to its [[Pokémon Ultra Moon]] Pokédex entry, anything eaten with the spoon becomes delicious.

Alakazam is able to use all forms of psychic abilities. The overflow of its psychic powers can cause headaches to those nearby. These powers are used to move its body, as opposed to its weak muscles. It also uses its psychic powers to hold up its head, which is too heavy to be supported by its neck. Due to its continually growing brain, its head becomes larger with age. It is said to have an excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} since hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, to the time of its death, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Alakazam and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Forms===
Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Alakazam.

As Mega Alakazam, its mustache turns white and becomes longer and bushier. It also grows a long, white beard. The armor-like sections become bulkier, and its upper body section becomes slightly shorter to reveal its thin stomach. The ear-like spikes become slightly shorter, and a larger spike forms on top of its head. Additionally, it gains an oval, red organ in the center of its forehead, which is said to emit psychic power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Alakazam Mega Alakazam | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Alakazam archived])</ref> Its lower legs become longer and slimmer, and its feet become skinnier and resemble talons. It gains three additional spoons, for a total of five that it levitates in the air.

At the cost of its already-low muscular strength, Mega Alakazam's power is entirely converted to pure psychic energy. Mega Alakazam is constantly floating thanks to its psychic powers. It can read the course of a person's entire life with a single glance. Mega Alakazam's red organ allows it to foresee every move an opponent makes and everything else. Its precognition is powerful enough to make an attack completely miss it.

===Evolution===
Alakazam evolves from {{p|Kadabra}} and is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Alakazam is the leader of [[Team A.C.T.]], a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Gold Rank]] rescue team. He is already a great leader but strives to better himself further to be like his hero, {{p|Lucario}}. He also tells the player about a whirlwind near the [[Legendary Island]] after the player recruits [[legendary birds|Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres]], unlocking access to [[Silver Trench]].

Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. Their evolutionary lines are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will [[List of in-game trades#Diamond Pearl and Platinum|trade]] her Abra for a Machop. Additionally, their base friendship is the same at 70, and all Pokémon in both of their respective evolutionary lines are in the Human-Like Egg Group. Finally, while Alakazam has a Mega Evolution, Machamp has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
** Alakazam could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gengar}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, which can only be achieved by trading, both have Mega Evolutions, Gengar is weak against Psychic moves and Alakazam is weak against Ghost moves, so they are weak and at the same time strong against each other. They have the same length, and both get smaller when they Mega Evolve. Their base friendship is also the same, with 70. In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', there are a Gengar and an Alakazam put against each other. Since Generation VI, they both have a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to Dark-type Moves. They also have the same stat structure throughout their Evolutions, always having high Speed and Special Attack, and being very low in Physical Defense and still relatively low in Special Defense, HP, and Physical Attack.
* Alakazam was the only Pokémon whose [[Base stats|base stat total]] does not increase by exactly 100 points upon [[Mega Evolution]], gaining instead only 90 points overall. This only applied to it in [[Generation VI]] because Mega Alakazam received another 10 points in its Special Defense in [[Generation VII]].
** Because some form of Alakazam had its {{stat|Special Defense}} raised in both Generation VI and Generation VII, Alakazam is the only Pokémon whose base stats changed more than once after [[Generation II]].
* Alakazam has the lowest average [[performance]] of any fully evolved Pokémon.
* In {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Alakazam is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magician}} and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|foxes}}, animals mythologically tied to magic. As it created the spoons with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practice of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesize metals with magic. Its horns, talons, and long mustache are also reminiscent of {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, which similarly are considered miraculous beings.

Mega Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|sorcerer}} or {{wp|wizard}}, or possibly {{wp|sadhu}}s with psychic powers. The shape of its head resembles main symbol of {{wp|Thelema}}, the unicursal hexagram with a gem in the place of five-petalled flower.

====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is derived from ''[[Wiktionary:alakazam#English|alakazam]]'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}} similar to ''{{wp|abracadabra}}''.

Foodin may be named after ''{{wp|Harry Houdini}}'', a famed {{wp|illusionist}} and {{wp|escape artist}}.

==Blurb==

When our heroes arrive at the foot of Mt. Molteau, the sudden appearance of a fiery Charmeleon lets them know that Trevor, their friend from Pokémon summer camp, is nearby! His goal is to take a photograph of the Legendary Pokémon Moltres, who is reputed to live on Mt. Molteau.

The Team Rocket villains are close behind, hoping to catch Moltres for the Boss. But first they grab Pikachu and a battle ensues near the volcano’s crater. The Legendary Pokémon awakens during the fray and sends Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful Flamethrower!

Unfortunately, Moltres thinks our heroes are also enemies and turns its attack on them! While trying to protect Ash and his friends, Fletchinder evolves into a magnificent Talonflame. When Talonflame finds itself in trouble, Ash jumps to the rescue, saving his beloved Pokémon and proving to Moltres that he means it no harm.

Trevor has gotten his photograph, our heroes have met Moltres, and Ash and Talonflame vow to work hard together. And now the journey to Anistar City continues!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at the foot of [[Mt. Molteau]], an active volcano. Hearing a noise to their right, they notice a {{TP|Trevor|Charmeleon}} stepping out from behind some bushes. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} express their delight and run towards the Charmeleon, only for Charmeleon to retaliate with {{m|Flamethrower}}. The Charmeleon is revealed to be {{an|Trevor}}'s as he arrives and meets the group, only to be attacked by Charmeleon's Flamethrower too.

{{an|Serena}} asks why Charmeleon is in an awful mood, and Ash suggests maybe Charmeleon wants a battle. Charmeleon agrees, so Ash calls out his {{AP|Fletchinder}}. Charmeleon begins by attacking with {{m|Fire Spin}}, which Fletchinder dodges. Charmeleon then uses Flamethrower, which Fletchinder deflects with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Fletchinder then hits back with {{m|Flame Charge}}. Charmeleon takes the attack and hits back with {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Charmeleon then uses Flamethrower, which Fletchinder dodges and uses Steel Wing again, this time knocking Charmeleon out. After the battle, Charmeleon seems to be much calmer than before.

Afterwards, the group take a break to eat and reminisce about their time at the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]]. Bonnie comments Charmeleon's attitude hasn't changed since then, and Trevor remarks that Charmeleon has been amazing in battle, earning him the {{Badge|Bug}} from the [[Santalune Gym]]. Trevor then asks the others whether they also are searching for {{p|Moltres}}, with his analysis having tracked down Moltres to Mt. Molteau. Trevor proceeds to show photos he had taken of the other [[legendary birds]], {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Articuno}}, and continues to ramble on about other photos of other rare Pokémon which leaves the others dumbfounded. Afterwards, Ash and the group decide to help Trevor in finding Moltres. Overhearing the conversation, {{TRT}} set their sights on catching Moltres for {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}.

As the group walk up Mt. Molteau, Trevor shows them an obscured photo of Moltres on top of a big rock, exclaiming they also must find the big rock to find Moltres. Clemont interjects and pulls out his device he calls [[Clemontic Gear|"Rock Searcher Mark 1"]]. Clemont inputs the photo’s landscape into the device’s memory, so that the device can find the same rock. The device shudders and moves towards a rock, which it scans and determines as a wrong match. It continues on moving and finding no correct matches. Meanwhile, as the group is distracted by Trevor's photo taking, Team Rocket run past the group and follow Clemont’s device. As Team Rocket locate the device, the device happens to come across a rock of the correct match and rings out a bell. [[Jessie]], frustrated, hits the device which explodes. Team Rocket run away as the group approaches, as Clemont cries over another failed invention. The device then malfunctions and chases the group, eventually falling into the volcano's magma.

Team Rocket then interrupts by grabbing and capturing Pikachu in a capsule. Ash calls out Fletchinder while Jessie and [[James]] send out {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and {{TP|James|Inkay}} respectively. Fletchinder dodges a pair of {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Psybeam}} attacks. Trevor comments on Gourgeist's rare {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist|size}} and takes photos of her, only to be stopped by Serena. He switches his attention to the battle at hand and has Charmeleon attack with Flamethrower, which is deflected by Inkay’s Psybeam. Gourgeist proceeds to attack with Shadow Ball and Inkay with Psybeam, which Fletchinder again dodges. Jessie and James continue the same attacks, which Fletchinder evades, but the attacks knock a boulder into the volcanic crater.

At this, a roar comes out of the volcano and Moltres emerges from the boiling magma. Trevor is impressed by its appearance, spouting several facts about Moltres before taking some photos. Moltres sets its eyes on Team Rocket, which they attack Moltres with Shadow Ball and Psybeam. Moltres retaliates with Flamethrower, causing them to blast off, as Pikachu falls out of their grasp. Fletchinder uses Steel Wing on Pikachu's capsule to release Pikachu.

Moltres now attacks Ash and the group, thinking that they are enemies. Ash takes out {{AP|Frogadier}}, and commands it to use {{m|Water Pulse}}, but the move evaporates from the intense heat before hitting Moltres. Charmeleon then attacks Moltres with Flamethrower. Moltres attacks back with Flamethrower, which Fletchinder dodges. Moltres attacks Fletchinder again, this time hitting Fletchinder and causing it to fall, injured. Ash attempts to go over to help Fletchinder, but Trevor and his Pokémon stop him. Hearing Ash telling his Pokémon that he is coming, Moltres turns its attention towards him and attacks the group, but Fletchinder races to intervene, and blocks the attack, while [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{AP|Talonflame}} at the same time. Talonflame attacks Moltres with its newly learned {{m|Brave Bird}}. Moltres continues to retaliate with Flamethrower, and Ash commands Talonflame to attack with Brave Bird again. Moltres launches a {{m|Fire Blast}}, which hits Talonflame, causing it to fall, tumbling towards the magma. Ash leaps into the crater to catch Talonflame, and his descent is just stopped by Frogadier's frubbles made into a rope. Ash's friends are relieved he is fine, though they scold him for being reckless. Moltres has a change of heart, deciding the group are not enemies and flies off.

As the group walks down the mountain, Trevor finally views his photo of Moltres and is impressed with the result. Ash remarks that he and his Pokémon have a lot of things to do, and Trevor decides to take a photo of Ash and his Pokémon to commemorate the adventure.

* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Gogoat}}
* {{an|Bonnie}} narrates the preview for the [[XY087|next episode]], while {{Ash}} reads the [[title card]].
** Just like in ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', ''[[XY055|A Slippery Encounter!]]'', and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', at the end of the preview, Bonnie says "Everyone, keep Pokémon!" instead of Ash saying, "Everyone, get Pokémon!"
* This was [[Mariya Ise]]'s final episode as Bonnie before she started her maternity leave from the show.
* This episode is similar to ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', which aired 695 episodes ago, where [[Todd Snap|a friend]] of the group whose hobby is to take [[Photography|photographs]] of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attempts to take a picture of one of the [[legendary birds]].
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Moltres}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since its cameo in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', over five years prior.
* [[Brilliantly]] is used as an insert song when Ash's {{p|Fletchinder}} evolves into a {{AP|Talonflame}}.
* {{TRT}} uses a variation of their {{motto}} in this episode.

===Errors===
[[File:XY086 error.png|thumb|200px|Talonflame without the yellow mark on its right eye]]
* After {{AP|Talonflame}}'s [[Evolution]], {{AP|Frogadier}} is seen in the background with white-colored arms instead of blue.
* When Ash grabs his Talonflame while falling down into a volcano together, the yellow mark on Talonflame's right eye is miscolored red.
* In the English dub, when {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} are excited after seeing [[Trevor's Charmeleon]], Dedenne's mouth moves but no sound comes out.

===Dub edits===
* [[Brilliantly]] is replaced by an instrumental version of [[Be a Hero]] during Fletchinder's Evolution.

(Japanese: '''六英雄を取り戻せ！''' ''Get The Six Heroes Back!'') is the 125th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,357th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It first aired in Japan on January 30, 2026.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[HZ124|Having been separated]] to weaken their offensive power, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Amethio]] call out their chosen Pokémon for the {{pkmn|battle}} against the [[Six Heroes]] empowered by the [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]s. However, things are not as smooth-sailing mostly due to the unfortunate [[type]] match-ups. {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}'s {{type|Bug}} attacks are {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} against {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}; having gained the {{t|Ghost}} type since his [[Evolution]], {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} is now weak to {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}}'s {{m|Fiery Wrath}}; {{p|Dragonite}} has to manage against {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}'s newly learned {{m|Ancient Power}} thanks to the Super Strong Sphere; {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} is [[Fainting|defeated]] by {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} while trying to give {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} an opening; and the [[White Zygarde]] is {{status|Freeze|frozen}} in place and loses some of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cell]]s by a super effective {{m|Ice Beam}}.

In spite of their disadvantageous situations, everyone is able to adapt accordingly and turn the tide of their respective battles. [[Roy]] calms down and waits for an opening, getting {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} to fly around to attract Moltres's attention while gathering electricity through {{a|Wind Power}}. [[Coral]] becomes impatient though, and orders Moltres to attack, resulting in Skeledirge helping out as Roy pulls out his [[Tera Orb]] and {{Tera}}stallizes Kilowattrel into a pure {{type|Electric}}. A command for {{m|Spark}} from a high altitude from its {{pkmn|Trainer}} results in the {{pkmn|category|Frigatebird Pokémon}} learning {{m|Supercell Slam}} in the process, although it misses Moltres and hits the floor instead, inflicting some [[damage]] on itself. Roy encourages Kilowattrel to try again and sings with Skeledirge, who uses {{m|Torch Song}} to give the Frigatebird Pokémon a boost in power that sends Moltres to the ground. In another area, [[Ult]] makes use of [[Lacey]]'s advice to check the [[Pokédex]], and while he couldn't find information on Gouging Fire, he did learn something about Dragonite. He then [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] the Dragon Pokémon and has it use {{m|Twister}} to take hold of Gouging Fire's Ancient Power and send it back at the [[Paradox Pokémon]], landing two sets of supereffective attacks at once to end the battle. On [[Dot]]'s end, she calls out {{TP|Dot|Gholdengo}} to take Quaxwell's place and find an opening. [[Chalce]] attempts to get Arboliva to focus on Tinkaton, but Gholdengo is able to distract the Olive Pokémon long enough for the Hammer Pokémon to defeat it with {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}. With Amethio, he has Zygarde use {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, though {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} uses {{m|Mist}} to reduce visibility. This ends up being a ruse as Zygarde switches from its {{form|Zygarde|50% Forme}} to its 10% Forme to attack more efficiently, defeating Lapras with {{m|Core Enforcer}}. Elsewhere, thanks to {{TP|Liko|Hatterene}}'s {{m|Healing Wish}}, [[Liko]] Terastallizes her healed Meowscarada and commands her to move around, with Kleavor following her. [[Sidian]] realizes Liko's plan too late as Kleavor becomes entangled in Meowscarada's invisible stems, leaving it open to a Terastallization-enhanced {{m|Magical Leaf}}.

As a result of the final attacks in each area, the walls glitched out and they're no longer isolated, with Amethio spotting [[Spinel]] watching them. [[Pagogo]] {{a|Tera Shift|transforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to purify the Six Heroes, but Spinel demands for the Super Strong Spheres be used again. Although Coral and Sidian are reluctant, the [[Explorers]] use the items on the Six Heroes, completely destroying their bonds and causing them to attack each other indiscriminately. With Amethio’s agreement, Zygarde returns to its 50% Forme and collaborates with Pagogo to [[HZ087|create a barrier]] that displays the memories the Six Heroes have made, hoping to restore their bonds. Spinel scoffs at the attempt, but becomes stunned when the Six Heroes fight back long enough for Pagogo to purify the [[Laquium]] from them, transforming into its Stellar Form and Terastallizing the Six Heroes in the process. Spinel shifts his attitude, feigning innocence about his intentions, but Ult is not fooled and declares that the Rising Volt Tacklers will end things on [[Mount Pericarp]] before the group leaves the [[Explorers HQ]] with the Six Heroes in tow. Once they're gone, [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] confirm the recordings are complete to a satisfied Spinel, who pulls up a screen, missing Coral and Sidian having doubts.

Meanwhile, now free, the Six Heroes return to the {{pkmn2|wild}}, promising Zygarde and the Rising Volt Tacklers that they will meet again. Amethio also parts ways with the team, aiming to uncover more of Zygarde’s potential alongside [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], but not before promising to reunite with them at [[Laqua]]. With the mission complete, the Rising Volt Tacklers decide to visit [[Naranja Academy]] to report their findings and stop the usage of the Strong Spheres. However, Spinel later releases footage of the battles to create further distrust against the Rising Volt Tacklers, framing them as criminals who took the Six Heroes from the care of the Explorers when they were found injured on Mount Pericarp, all while preparing for the eventual public release of the Strong Spheres.

* For the initial airing of this episode, the Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution segment was replaced by a special trailer for the upcoming episodes of the ''[[Rising Again]]'' arc. This trailer was later [https://youtu.be/d5_FWsZ8kQM uploaded] to the official Japanese [[YouTube]] channel.
* [[Roy's Kilowattrel]]'s {{m|Supercell Slam}} combined with {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}'s {{m|Torch Song}} is similar to [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Thunder Armor.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on the screen before and after the commercial break.
* [[Ult]], [[Dot]], [[Liko]], and [[Roy]] narrate the preview for the [[HZ126|next episode]].
* As of this episode, Ult has met every high ranking member from the [[Explorers]].
* Instead of the usual ending animation sequence, [[Asleep or Awake|the ending theme]] is played as an insert song near the end of the episode, with the credits being shown on-screen during the song.
** This is also the first episode to use an ending theme as an insert song since ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'' where [[Team Rocket's Team Song]] was used as such.

'''Koko''' (Japanese: '''ココ''' ''Koko''), birth name '''Al Molybdenum''' (Japanese: '''アル・モリブデン''' ''Al Molybden''), is a major character in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. Raised by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, he is a [[human]] boy who believes he too is a Pokémon.

==In animation==
===''Secrets of the Jungle''===
[[File:Koko baby.png|thumb|left|250px|Koko as a baby]]
Al is the only child of scientists [[Chrom and Phossa Molybdenum]], the late leaders of the Biotope Company. When they learned of the Great Tree's location in the [[Forest of Okoya]] and that the many {{p|Zarude}} living in the forest worshipped it, they decided to protect it from their subordinate [[Doctor Zed|Dr. Zed]], who wanted to destroy it in order to gain access to the secrets of the Healing Springs. Infuriated by this revelation, Dr. Zed chased the family down as they tried to escape in their car. He soon ran them off the road and into a riverbank. Stealing the data, Dr. Zed left the family to die in the ensuing explosion, but Al survived as he had drifted away from the car down the river.

Al was eventually found by a single [[Dada|Zarude]] living deep within the jungle. This Zarude attempted to return Al to his parents, however an attempt to leave him in [[Milyfa Town]] led to Al nearly walking in front of a car. Zarude decided to investigate a nearby lab and upon seeing its wrecked state and a photo of Al with his parents realized that the baby was now an orphan. Zarude decided to raise Al as a son and renamed him Koko. Knowing that this was against the rules of its troop, Zarude decided to leave the other Zarude behind so it could raise Koko safely, as they objected to a human being brought to their sacred tree. This Zarude, who took to wearing a torn piece of pink clothing, would become known as "Dada" to Koko.

Over the next ten years, Zarude raised Koko in the depths of the jungle, and the two developed a strong bond. As he had no memory of his human life, Koko believed he was also a Pokémon and was frustrated by the fact that he was seemingly unable to use [[move]]s. Zarude didn't want to tell Koko the truth of his origins. However, Koko began to question about his origins. When Zarude hesitated to give Koko the answer he asked for, Koko stormed off to discover his true origins. However, Koko fell into a river where he was saved by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}}. Following his recovery, Koko found himself in the human world where he noticed that Ash and his fellow humans were identical to himself. Koko soon realized that he was one of them. Koko befriended Ash and the latter subsequently taught the former what it means to be human.

After Koko introduced his father to Ash, Zarude confronted Koko for speaking the human language and bringing a fellow human. However, Koko said that Zarude was ignoring the fact that he is also a human and called Dada out on this. Guilty, Zarude confessed to Koko that the latter wasn't a Zarude nor the begat of the former. Zarude took Koko, Ash, [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|Pikachu]], and their friend {{p|Skwovet}} to the abandoned lab where he explained Koko's past and showed them the picture of Koko's real parents.

==Trivia==
* Koko is notably the first human in [[Pokémon animation]] to be depicted using a Pokémon [[move]], as he uses {{m|Jungle Healing}} to help Dada recover from his injuries.
** While {{tc|Psychic}}s can be argued to be using Pokémon moves like {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Telekinesis}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, or {{m|Hypnosis}}, Koko is the first human to do so explicitly.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends are on their journey through the Orange Islands—but even this seemingly quiet chain of islands dotted throughout the waters far south of Kanto has its own mysteries, adventures, and Legendary Pokémon! Lawrence III certainly knows it, which is why he's now traveling to the different islands and capturing the three Legendary birds—Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos. But even with all their power, those three are merely a stepping stone to an even greater prize: Lugia, the guardian of the sea!

Of course, Ash is completely unaware of all this when he arrives at his latest destination. The islanders have big plans for him, too, but nothing so sinister—they want him to take part in a ceremony to gather three elemental balls from different islands. When the weather across the world goes out of control, this task takes on a new importance, as the capture of the Legendary birds has thrown the environment out of balance. With Lugia's help, can Ash be the "chosen one" that everyone turns to?

==Plot==
''Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, lest the earth shall turn to ash. O Chosen One, into thine hands, bring together all three. Their treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea.''
:--'''Shamouti Prophecy'''
The film begins at the Shamouti Shrine, where a Slowking kept guard, as the prophecy was read. Later, it changes to an aircraft where a computer shows holograms of the three {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}}. [[Lawrence III]], a wealthy collector of the world's most valuable antiques, wishes to make his collection complete by catching the three legendary birds, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Articuno}}. Any one of them would be a priceless addition to Lawrence's collection, but he aims to capture the three to capture the fourth and most powerful bird, {{p|Lugia}}. Using his giant flying aircraft, Lawrence arrives at Fire Island, home to Moltres. He provokes the Flame Pokémon by shooting ice cannons at its habitat. This caused it to leave its island, and after weakening it with more ice shots, he captures the firebird. However, as Lawrence begins to follow the prophecy, the world's climate begins to be affected.

Somewhere in the [[Orange Islands]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are traveling to their next island destination onboard a boat owned by a woman named [[Maren]]. They send out their Pokémon as Tracey suggested so they can have some fresh air. {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Snorlax}}, however, were briefly out of their Poké Balls, but Charizard was recalled after it breathed fire, and Snorlax was recalled because it weighed down the boat. {{TRT}} as usual follow in their submarine. Suddenly, both parties are struck by a sea storm and dragged across the ocean to the middle of the Orange Islands, where they arrive at [[Shamouti Island]]. The weather is also going wrong at [[Pallet Town]], as witnessed by {{an|Professor Oak}}, [[Delia Ketchum]], and [[Mimey]]. They witness various Pokémon traveling in groups in one direction. According to the Professor, Pokémon can sense the abnormalities in nature better than humans. Ash, Misty, and Tracey, along with their Pokémon meet the islanders of Shamouti, who are celebrating their annual Legend Festival following the prophecy's tale, in which a Chosen One shall help Lugia to save the world and calm the legendary birds. Maren's friend, [[Carol]] was once the Festival Maiden, but as she's too old for that role, her younger rebellious sister {{OBP|Melody|M02}} takes on the role with some reluctance. As Ash is introduced as a Pokémon Trainer, the islanders become ecstatic, as the legend foretold his arrival. As Melody meets Ash, she approves of him for the role of Chosen One and kisses him, angering Misty.

During the festival ceremony, Melody plays a tune similar to the cry of Lugia and afterward explains Ash's role as Chosen One. He must venture out to the islands of the legendary birds and collect three glass orbs (she uses some fruits as the orbs during her explanation) that represent the elements of Fire, Ice, and Lightning, bring them back to Shamouti's shrine where Melody will play the same tune which will end the festival. Ash heads out immediately, with Maren and Pikachu going with him. Pikachu steals Ash's hat as Misty shows reluctance in going. Team Rocket rows what's left of their submarine, which became a boat. Maren's boat crosses their path and capsizes the trio's boat. As they hang on, a wave crashes onto them. After a brief scene of Slowking noticing the mess caused by Moltres' capture, Melody expresses her concern for Ash as the storm extinguishes a torch. As Team Rocket finally makes it ashore, they notice Melody, Misty, and Tracey running.

As Lawrence's aircraft detects the presence of Zapdos, islanders watch the news which talked about the unusual weather. This news story also reaches Delia and Professor Oak. [[Professor Ivy]] phones in the middle, telling Professor Oak that the Pokémon are behaving strangely. Meanwhile, Pikachu, who was the only one aware of the urgency of the situation, leads Ash to the location of the Fire Sphere on Fire Island, after Maren's boat crashes onto its shores and loses its rudder. The boat carrying Team Rocket, Misty, Tracey, and Melody flipped, causing Team Rocket to get launched onto the island, and the boat crashes onto a rock as Maren tries to relax. When the storm threatens to harm the boat containing the others, Melody hoists a sail. They use the boat and the wind to ascend the steps. The scene changes to Lawrence's aircraft as he admires his newly acquired Moltres, who is helpless. The computer announces Zapdos' arrival at Fire Island.

The scene changes again as Ash and Pikachu ascend the stairs, and Team Rocket plans to take Pikachu. Pikachu finds a pedestal containing the Fire Orb and motions Ash. Ash tries to obtain the sphere while Pikachu urges him on, and manages to collect it. As they turn to head back, they confront Team Rocket and as the trio recites part of their {{motto}}, both groups [[Breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]]. Melody, Misty, and Tracey's boat arrives, as does Zapdos. Pikachu and Zapdos communicate using electrical attacks, with {{MTR}} translating the conversation, as Zapdos explains it shall claim the island for its own. Lawrence's ship appears, draining Zapdos of its power and later capturing the Electric Pokémon and the rest in Melody's boat. The ship's computer informs Lawrence that there were others captured along with Zapdos. As they stand in the cage in the ship's lower chamber, Tracey notes the imprisoned birds, and Melody notes a stone with the Shamouti Prophecy etched and reads aloud the first sentence. As Lawrence mentions his plan to collect the birds, Misty criticizes him. Lawrence is very polite to his accidental captives and kindly releases them. The computer informs him of Articuno's location, and he leaves. The scene changes to Articuno as it uses {{m|Ice Beam}} on an island, freezing it and the water around the island. The news later states that a massive amount of Pokémon are making their way to the island, except for those that cannot cross water. The reporters speak to the two Professors about a cause, and Professor Oak correctly predicts that the legendary birds are involved. After a brief scene featuring Slowking, followed by another scene depicting Shamouti Island in a snowstorm as Carol worries about Melody, the scene returns to the lower chamber as Melody reads the prophecy again.

The group suggests freeing the imprisoned birds as Lawrence's ship nears Articuno. Lawrence provokes the Freeze Pokémon using fire. Something underwater notices the commotion and ascends. Back in the chamber, Ash calls out Charizard and Pikachu to use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Thunder Shock}} to free Moltres, while James calls out {{TP|James|Weezing}}, who fails to save Zapdos. Jessie releases {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to attempt to release Zapdos with {{m|Poison Sting}}, but it fails to penetrate the prison. Ash calls out Squirtle and Bulbasaur. As Squirtle joins in with {{m|Water Gun}}, Moltres is released. Moltres unleashes a Flamethrower attack that breaks Zapdos free. As the two birds are freed, however, they immediately get into a fight and destroy the ship in the process. The ship informs Lawrence that it is going down, and promptly crashes onto Lightning Island. The group evacuates and lands on the island. The debris of the ship crashes onto the pedestal, destroying it and releasing the Lightning Sphere, which Ash acquires. The group escapes onto Melody's boat while Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno duel overhead. A giant typhoon scoops up the boat and carries it to the Shamouti Shrine, where Ash and the others meet Slowking, the shrine's guardian. Able to speak, he shows Ash where to place the collected spheres. When he sets down the Spheres of Thunder and Fire, the legendary birds attack the shrine but are stopped by the sudden appearance of {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}. Lawrence eyes Lugia from the remains of his aircraft in awe, considering it "his prize" while the other three birds gang up and attack it. Lugia attempts to quell the fighting and protect the shrine, but the Diving Pokémon eventually falls victim to the attacks and crashes down. Meanwhile, the massive gathering of Pokémon arrive after crossing the now-frozen sea.

Melody plays the same tune from the ceremony, which reinvigorates the fallen Lugia. Lugia, who can also speak using {{t|psychic}} powers, explains that Ash must collect the Ice Sphere from Articuno's island. Ash doubts he can do it, but support from his friends and Pokémon changes his mind when Misty realizes when the legend states 'The earth shall turn to ash' it refers to the earth relying on Ash as the Chosen One to save it. As Ash sets out with Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charizard, and Lugia towards Ice Island, Team Rocket witness a helicopter containing Professor Oak, Delia, [[Professor Ivy]] and a news crew crash land. Seeing a discarded inflatable raft and the helicopter's tail propeller, they get an idea. Ash's attempts to reach the island are thwarted by the legendary birds, but Team Rocket surprisingly comes to the rescue on a motorboat using the items they salvaged. Team Rocket shock Ash by revealing that they do not wish for the world to be destroyed. The heroes (and villains) race through the island using the raft and find the Ice Sphere, which Ash obtains. The legendary birds appear and ambush the group in Ice Island, then Articuno is knocked out by its opponents. Lugia saves Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket and heads back to Shamouti.

However, Lugia is slowed down by the extra weight of Team Rocket. The trio of villains decide to let go and nobly sacrifice themselves to allow Ash to save the world, which surprised him. As Ash notices the gathered Pokémon, he asks Lugia, who responds that they gathered in case they were needed, yet they stood still because they were unsure about what to do. As they approach Shamouti, Lugia suddenly comes under attack as Lawrence, using the remains of his ship, makes one final desperate attempt to capture his prize. Lugia manages to unleash an {{m|Aeroblast}} attack to defeat the remaining legendary birds and destroy Lawrence's ship before falling unconscious into the sea. Ash also falls unconscious into the water and Pikachu tries to urge Ash to wake up. Fortunately, Misty arrives in time to save the two. Misty and Tracey revive Ash, who leads the group back to the shrine. Ash inserts the final sphere into the shrine, which shines brightly with the unison of the spheres. The pillars glow in tune as Melody plays Lugia's song, which revives it and restores balance to the legendary birds. Lugia takes Ash and Pikachu for a flight with Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres beside them. Suddenly, a giant stream of water rises out of the ocean (the Beast of the Sea) and is tamed by the song. All the birds return to their homes and the Beast of the Sea vanishes into the ocean.

Lugia also departs, thanking Ash for his help. After Lugia leaves, Delia, Oak, and Ivy arrive. Delia scolds Ash for his recklessness, but after Misty tells her he saved the world, Delia asks him if he could visit her once in a while on his journey. Ash agrees to her request. Lawrence picks up an {{TCG ID|The Power of One|Ancient Mew|promo}} card from the wreckage of his ship, deciding to restart his collection on a smaller scale. The film ends with Team Rocket appearing on Shamouti, having survived their sacrificial fall, lamenting that nobody saw them being heroes - but Slowking reveals to them that many people watched them and are right now. Slowking looks towards the screen, [[breaking the fourth wall]], as do Team Rocket, who end the film discussing what they should do now since they seem to now be good.

==Trivia==
* This is the only movie to feature [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] as part of the main cast.
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP104]] and [[EP105]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after the latter, because {{AP|Charizard}} is shown obeying {{Ash}} in this movie, something it doesn't do until that episode.
* The first names of [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]], {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Professor Ivy]] are first revealed in this movie.
* [[Lawrence III]]'s actions in this movie were set in motion due to an {{TCG ID|The Power of One|Ancient Mew|promo}} card. As such, this is the only movie to feature a Pokémon card.
* This is the first movie where {{an|Brock}} isn't a main character, though he has a cameo; when Professor Ivy calls Professor Oak to inform him of the unstable weather situation, Brock can be seen in the background, running from side to side in a frenzy (presumably doing multiple chores at the same time, as he can be seen carrying a {{p|Nidorina}} and a {{p|Paras}}). He is also seen in a picture in Ash's house in Pallet Town and making various poses in the background of a video conversation between Professors Ivy and Oak. Brock would be a main character in every other following movie until [[M14|the first ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' movie]], in which he makes no appearance, and onward.
* Some of the Pokémon shown on the U.S cover are never actually seen in the movie.
* On the U.S cover, it appears as if Ash's undershirt is white, but it is actually black.
* While approaching Shamouti Island, Jessie exclaims "An island!" James then exclaims "In a storm!" Meowth replies "I've seen this movie..." seemingly referencing the [[M01|first movie]] (therefore breaking the fourth wall, as Meowth's memories of the first movie were erased).
* When Pikachu steals [[Ash's hat]], Ash behaves similarly to the way he did in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''.
* When Professor Oak is talking to Professor Ivy, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon TCG]] type symbols are shown as link buttons near the bottom of the screen.
* In this movie, {{TRT}} uses a [[dub]]-only variation of their {{motto}}.
** This is also the only movie in which Team Rocket recites a variation of the motto and one of the few in which they actually recite a full motto.
* Four of the movie's characters, {{OBP|Melody|M02}}, [[Carol]], [[Maren]], and Professor Ivy, each share their Japanese voice actresses with one character from the anime ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}''. Melody's voice actress, [[Akiko Hiramatsu]], voiced the villain Calaveras in the ''Sailor Moon R'' arc. Carol's voice actress, {{wp|Aya Hisakawa}}, voiced {{wp|Ami Mizuno|Sailor Mercury}}. Maren's voice actress, [[Kotono Mitsuishi]], voiced {{wp|Usagi Tsukino|Sailor Moon}} herself, and Professor Ivy's voice actress, [[List of Japanese voice actors|Keiko Han]], voiced {{wp|Cats (Sailor Moon)|Luna}} and {{wp|Queen Beryl}}.
* Ash follows up on the agreement he made with his mother at the end of the movie after every [[region]], visiting [[Pallet Town]] before heading off to his next destination.
* The events of this movie are later made [[canon]] to {{aniseries|PTS}} in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', where both Ash and [[James]] mention having seen a Lugia before in the [[Orange Islands]].
* Pikachu and Zapdos are shown to be able to communicate through electricity, which {{MTR}} can understand.
** In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Meowth is unable to translate electrical communication between {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, contradicting the events of this movie.
* Lawrence III goes after the legendary birds in reverse [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Even though the Orange Islands arc was never dubbed in {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, this movie was dubbed and aired in Finland.
* As {{TRT}} are weighing down Lugia, James makes a reference to the diet program {{wp|Weight Watchers}}, saying that they should try it, with [[Jessie]] replying that it is too late for it. {{MTR}} refutes; "I heard it's never too late if you really stick to the program!"
** In addition, the English dub has Jessie and James undergoing a variation of the "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_pqnsKWlpc that's good, that's bad]" routine from ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' episode "{{wp|Treehouse of Horror III}}", specifically the short "Clown Without Pity".
* According to [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s blog, the Ancient Mew card was originally going to play a major role in an earlier treatment of the movie, though it was ultimately written out, and along with it all of the scenes featuring the card. However, there is a brief scene of the card seen in the ending of the final cut. Shudo acknowledged its presence was a mistake on his part.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo187.shtml</ref>
** Lugia was created by Takeshi Shudō for the second movie. He was surprised to later see Lugia appear in the games and {{aniseries|PTS}}.<ref>http://lavacutcontent.com/takeshi-shudo-ending-pokemon/</ref>
** He also recalled feeling furious that Yuyama added in a scene where {{an|Misty}} tries to revive Ash with the intent of having audiences cry, since it went against his personal philosophy of wanting the audience to have natural reactions to what's going on in media viewings and not feel forced to react a certain way.
* Early promos for the movie depicted a scene where Ash jumps off a cliff to catch Pikachu, with Misty having a shocked reaction.
* According to Takeshi Shudo, the Japanese ending of this movie was originally going to be [[The Endless World]] instead of [[toi et moi]]. He criticized that the replacement song was unrelated to the movie.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1999_pm_revelation_lugia/pm_revelation_lugia_theme_song.html</ref>
* In the {{wp|WGN America|WGN Superstation}} broadcast, the scene with Misty, {{Tracey}}, and Melody running to get to a boat is cut to give time for commercials.

===Errors===
[[File:Valencia Island Paras M02.png|thumb|240px|Normal-colored Paras, including Brock's short cameo appearance]]
* When Melody and Misty first meet, Melody tells her "Oh, and Misty, try not to get jealous." However, only Ash had been introduced at this point, while Misty's and Tracey's names were never mentioned. Note that, at least in Misty's case, this was only in the English dub.
* When Ash and {{ashfr}} start walking up some stairs, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail briefly has its colors reversed.
* Brock is seen running around {{DL|Valencia Island|Professor Ivy's Lab|Professor Ivy's Lab}} carrying normal-colored {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Paras}} despite the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on [[Valencia Island]] being [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation|alternately colored]]. A Paras was previously seen on Valencia in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
* At one point during Professor Oak's explanation to the news reporter, the reporter's mouth is seen moving rather than Oak's, although it is clear that Oak is meant to be the one talking.
* As the green energy from Lugia's song is spreading over the frozen sea toward the three islands, the pillars that surround the Shamouti Shrine are seen at the bottom, but do not light up when their notes are played. They light up again in all subsequent scenes until the song is over, including several other scenes that have a very similar point of view.
* In the English dub:
** When Lawrence III reads the ancient prophecy, it says "Lest the earth turn to ash". However, later in the movie, and in the song [[The Chosen One]], it says "'''Thus''' the earth '''shall''' turn to ash".
** During the festival feast, [[Maren]] erroneously refers to multiple {{p|Krabby}} as "Krabbies". However, this error is intentional, as the incorrect form is used as a pun.
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the {{aniseries|PTS}} episodes, resulting in several dubbing errors:
** Professor Ivy is referred to by her Japanese name, despite having [[EP083|previously appeared]] using her dub name.
** When Ash bids goodbye to his mother, he says he has already become a [[Pokémon Master]].

===Changes===
====Dub edits====
[[File:M02 Tracey explanation.png|right|thumb|250px|The deleted shot]]
* The first English dub version of this movie was released theatrically in 2000 and on VHS and DVD later the same year. The second version was streamed on [[Pokémon TV]] in 2015, which removed all company logos, retyped the opening and ending credits, and changed the copyright to 2015.
* Similar to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a large portion of the movie's theme was changed. Originally, the primary theme was meant to emphasize co-dependence, while the English dub emphasized individualism via the added in Chosen One concept.
* The prophecy was rewritten in the English dub to add in details for the Chosen One and taming the Beast of the Sea via the three treasures and Lugia's song.
* Maren addresses Tracey by name in the English dub, something she doesn't do in the Japanese version. In addition, the English dub specifies that they have an hour before they get to the next island, when she originally just gave a vague statement about how they have plenty of time when agreeing to giving their Pokémon fresh air.
* Originally, [[Shamouti Island]] was stated to be on the outskirts of the Orange Islands instead of in the middle of it.
* When Oak encounters Delia, he identifies her by name in the English dub, while in the Japanese version, he instead identifies her as "Satoshi's mom".
* When discovering that snow is occurring, Delia originally guessed that it was cherry blossoms, before realizing it was actually snow. The English dub has her initially guess correctly that it was snow.
* In the scene where Ash and his friends arrive at Shamouti Island and encounter the residents, Maren and Carol's background, specifically that they had gone to the [[Mandarin Island]] branch school and hadn't seen each other for five years, was cut. In addition, the Japanese version makes it explicit that the role of festival maiden is meant for children, something that the English dub does not make clear.
* When meeting Misty, Melody tells her to try and not get jealous in a slightly snooty tone in the English dub, while in the original Japanese version, she instead says "Don't get so worked up! But y'know, to follow him all the way out here...I'd have to say you have pretty good taste." She also identifies Misty by name in the same scene before even being told her name in the English dub, something that doesn't happen in the Japanese version.
** On a related note, Melody's banter to Misty was more friendly in the Japanese version than in the English dub.
* The English dub has Maren stating a punchline to a {{wp|Sexually transmitted infection|STD}}-related joke ("Krabbies" = "{{wp|Crab louse|Crabs}}").
* The scene where Melody explains the legend to Ash has her being more flirtatious in the English dub and Ash being less gullible in the same. It also mentioned the process was supposed to be easy, which was later referenced in the movie, although this got rewritten and with it the later reference.
* The "boy and friend" exchange was originally Misty stating that he just happens to be at the same places she was when denying following him this far. Tracey's response likewise was his claiming he himself does the same as well originally instead of asking if they were talking about him.
* Melody explains that their boat has the ability to climb up walls and rocky prefaces, something that's not made clear in the English dub.
* Shortly after Misty and Melody's exchange and Melody scolding Ash for his recklessness, Jessie, James, and Meowth's exchange was different. Originally, Jessie explained that Misty and Ash are ten years too young to get focused on romance anyways, with James also explaining that they themselves are already five years too old to focus on that anyhow, implying that they are both 25. Meowth subsequently sums it up by making a crack at how "love life" is foreign to them, to Jessie and James's chagrin. In the English dub, Jessie mentions that getting involved with the opposite sex is only asking for trouble, and James mentions that he'd rather stay out of trouble. In response, Meowth quips that they've got each other and thus don't need the opposite sex, much to their chagrin.
* Although Melody's line upon discovering a copy of the Shamouti Legend is translated well, her delivery was different between the two versions, having her react with recognition at the slab, while in the English dub, she acts completely unfamiliar about it.
* Misty's speech to Lawrence III was altered. In the English dub, she says that she considers his way of thinking of Pokémon as mere things to collect to be disgusting. In the original Japanese version, Misty was simply asking him why he used his methods to catch the legendary birds instead of [[Poké Ball]]s like regular {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. To this, Lawrence replies that he considers himself a collector, and feels that the collected things must be visibly on display, or they couldn't be called a collection.
** In addition, Lawrence in the English dub version of the above scene mentions he started his collection from an Ancient Mew card. This information wasn't revealed in the Japanese version itself, but was mentioned in a promotional pamphlet released with the movie in Japan, alongside other elements of his character. It was added in to specifically tie in the final scene due to the pamphlet's distribution being replaced with the card itself when the movie was released in the United States.
* When the Pokémon are attempting to free Moltres, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}} are used simultaneously. Tracey's explanation, which was cut from the English dub, is that "''electricity, plus fire, plus water… electricity {{wp|Electrolysis|separates}} water into {{wp|hydrogen}} and {{wp|oxygen}}, which is then {{wp|Combustion|recombined}} using fire which means—Everybody get down!''" However, this line is included in the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (book)|novelization]] and the [[Pokémon the Movie 2000 (graphic novel)|ani-manga]] with different dialogue: "''The water and electricity blasts are creating two gases, hydrogen and oxygen. If those two gases come into contact with Charizard's fire, there's going to be an —<explosion>.''"
** The English audio track on the DVD released in the 2007 Japanese box set simply cut to dead silence during this scene. The same was done during Professor Oak's explanation scene.
* A portion of Professor Oak's explanation of what was causing the weather disturbance was cut. In it, Professor Oak theorized that life on earth was started by a chemical reaction that began when lightning struck volcanic seawater on the young planet, relating it to the elemental abilities of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}}. This was likely removed on religious grounds.
* {{p|Slowking}}'s "I could use pants" line was originally him stating that trouble was brewing.
* Team Rocket's commentary on the three birds was different: In the original Japanese version, they noted that they were very angry, and Meowth suggested they pretend they know nothing. In the English dub, Jessie comments she doesn't want to be hit by Moltres, James comments he doesn't want to get hit by Zapdos, while Meowth mentions he doesn't want to get hit by their droppings.
* When Lugia saves everyone with their water pillar, Melody originally recognized the song, but doesn't in the English dub.
* Ash expresses shock that Slowking can talk in the English dub, while he and the others don't seem to react at all to this discovery in the original Japanese version, simply repeating "treasure" back.
* Originally, Slowking tells Ash that he's one short of the treasures, with Ash then misunderstanding and asking what he meant by "two short." In the English dub, he instead identifies Ash by name, causing Ash to ask how he knew him by that name.
* The English dub uses the word "ash" in the Shamouti Prophecy, conveying a double meaning by playing on the name of the movie's protagonist. This is not present in the Japanese version, and was largely untranslatable for foreign language dubs using the English dub as source.
** The {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American}}, and {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian}} dubs each opted for a full local translation with Misty translating the local word for "ash" to English, the name of the movie's protagonist.
** The {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} dub resolved the situation with a pun, conveniently inserting the name "Ash" in a sentence of the Shamouti Prophecy. The sentence is {{tt|''In campo sarà un forte a scendere''|''A strong one will descend''}}, with the words {{tt|''a scendere''|''descend''}} exactly sounding like ''Ash - endere''.
** The original Japanese version made very clear when Ash was the one to save the world that Ash was the only "exceptional" trainer available at that moment due to collecting the treasures, instead of him being prophesized.
* Ash's comment about wishing he was named "Bob" was dub only. In addition, the reference to an earlier exchange at the festival was cut, owing to the line being rewritten earlier.
* Lugia mentions that the great trainer in legend is required to be human, with Ash asking if that meant he represented humanity.
* Ash doesn't have the hesitation in the original Japanese version that he does in the English dub.
* Team Rocket in the original Japanese version just does their regular motto instead of a variation.
* The English dub has Team Rocket making a reference to Weight Watchers. In the original Japanese version, it was a pun on the term slowing someone down and having their hands tied up (sharing similar terminology in Japanese).
* In the English dub, Ash asks why all the Pokémon are down there, with Lugia responding that they felt they may be needed. The Japanese version instead has Ash asking if Lugia really is a Pokémon due to its awesome feats, with Lugia confirming that it is one, and that it lives on the planet with all other life that inhabits it.
* Lugia's speech about how only Ash can make a difference originally had it explaining that the Pokémon have their own versions of the world compared to humans, and that neither wants the world destroyed.
* The English dub added in a comment about Lawrence's destiny when commenting that he was trying to capture Lugia for his collection.
* When Misty is about to save Ash, she mentions that Ash is her burden in the Japanese version, while the English dub makes it slightly more romantic by stating that Ash isn't alone because he's got her.
* Originally, after the song was sung, Lugia tells Ash and company to keep its existence a secret, as it's better off that way. The English dub has it mentioning that the beast of the sea was tamed.
* Although Delia's speech was largely the same in the English dub, it also added in a requirement that he try to keep it closer to home. It also mentioned that Ash's death means Ash and Delia's world would be destroyed originally, something that's implied but not directly mentioned in the English dub.
* Lawrence's final line was dub-added.
* In the English dub, after learning what Slowking told them about people seeing them contribute, has them undergoing the "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_pqnsKWlpc that's good, that's bad]" routine from ''The Simpsons''. In the original Japanese version, they instead give a variant of their Blast Off catchphrase.
* Like the Japanese version, the Finnish dub refers to the legendary birds as what can be translated to "gods", whereas the English dub refers to them as "titans".
* The "Beast of the Sea" aspect was originally referring to the undersea current around Shamouti Island and the three islands, something that is slightly implied but never directly stated in the English dub.
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub uses the original Japanese version of the movie, similar to the [[M01|previous movie]].
* Even though the Hungama TV Hindi dub was based on the Japanese version, it refers to the legendary birds as "{{tt|सम्राट|samrāʈ}}" (emperors) instead of gods.
* In the {{pmin|Germany|German}} dub, the ending {{so|The Power of One}} was replaced with a new German song titled {{OBP|You're Not Alone|German song}}.
* In the Tagalog dub, Melody is called Fleura, just like in the Japanese version. This is different from the English dub, where GMA used the English version as its source.

===Differences between the movie and the VIZ novelization===
* The official novelization for the movie had some dialogue between Lugia and Lawrence III as the latter is capturing the former. Lugia expresses bafflement and demands to know why Lawrence, a human, is trying to endanger the world just to capture it, with Lawrence III also declaring he always gets what he wants before Lugia blows up what remained of his ship. Even afterward, as it's sinking and losing consciousness, it still could not comprehend why Lawrence would selfishly put the planet at risk of being destroyed. In the movie, Lugia never exchanges words with Lawrence III even once, and only laments that it failed to save the planet as it is sinking to the bottom and losing consciousness.
