'''Pumpkaboo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バケッチャ''' ''Bakeccha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gourgeist}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]].

Pumpkaboo has four different [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Medium Variety''', '''Small Variety''', '''Large Variety''', and '''Jumbo Variety'''. Prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], these were instead named '''Average Size''', '''Small Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size''', respectively.

==Biology==
[[File:Jessie Pumpkaboo flashing lights.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] flashing light from the holes in her body]]
Pumpkaboo is a ghostly pumpkin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that varies dramatically in size. Encasing its lower body is a pinkish pumpkin with a pair of nubby legs. Carved into the pumpkin is a pair of circular holes that glow yellow-orange. Pumpkaboo's shadowy black body pokes out of the top of the pumpkin. It has glowing yellow eyes, a pair of fangs in its upper jaw, and pointed ears that curve slightly. On top of its head is a long tuft of fur that curls tightly at the tip. A collar of furry-looking tufts hangs over the edge of the pumpkin.

Typically active at sundown, Pumpkaboo carries wandering spirits to the afterlife by storing them in its body, despite the fact that Pumpkaboo itself is born from a pumpkin inhabited by a spirit that is trapped in the material world. The holes on Pumpkaboo's body can glow and release light, allowing it to hypnotize and control humans or Pokémon. As mentioned in the {{aniseries}} episode ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', however, this light can also illuminate the way for travelers in the dark. According to the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Pumpkaboo occasionally emits this hypnotic light even as it sleeps. Thus, it's recommended that observers approach with caution and avoid being accidentally hypnotized. Pumpkaboo are known to sleep in the ground.

Pumpkaboo and its evolved form {{p|Gourgeist}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

===Forms===
Pumpkaboo has four separate forms: '''Medium Variety''', '''Small Variety''', '''Large Variety''', and '''Jumbo Variety'''. Visually, these forms differ only in their sizes, and thus they were previously named '''Average Size''', '''Small Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size''', respectively. The form name change reflects the discovery that Pumpkaboo's four forms differ in ways other than their sizes alone,<ref>'''[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Taille]]:''' "There’s been quite a stir in the Pumpkaboo fan community over the recent discovery... [...] Pumpkaboo used to be sorted based on their size: Small Size, Average Size, Large Size, or Super Size. However! It's come to light that the differences between them go beyond just size! So now they are called Small Variety, Medium Variety, Large Variety, and Jumbo Variety." ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> notably in the preferences of the spirits that Pumpkaboo will carry to the afterlife. Small Variety Pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of children, while Large Size Pumpkaboo prefer those of adults. Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions. The size of Pumpkaboo is said to be the product of the number of lost souls that lingered in the area where it was formed.

===Form data===
Pumpkaboo has four different forms, each named after their respective size: Medium Variety, Small Variety, Large Variety, and Jumbo Variety. Prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], these were instead named Average Size, Small Size, Large Size, and Super Size, respectively.

Its size is maintained through [[Evolution]] into {{p|Gourgeist}} and cannot be changed. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same size as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

In the wild, Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo will always hold a [[Miracle Seed]], whereas other sizes will never hold an [[item]] in the wild. Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist were also the only Pokémon to have the XXL [[Size and weight variation#Pokémon GO|size designation]] in {{g|GO}} prior to the addition of XXL and XXS sizes for all species. Prior to [[Generation IX]], the different sizes of Pumpkaboo did not use different menu sprites, except in {{g|HOME}}.

Previously, only Medium Variety and Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo could have their [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Insomnia}}. Medium Variety can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]], and Jumbo Variety could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.

Each form has different [[base stats]]. With each increase in size, Pumpkaboo's base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 5 points, while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 5 points. Consequently, its base stat total does not vary with size.

Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo has a different [[cry]] from the other forms, which is lower-pitched.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]]=====
Pumpkaboo debuted in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', where [[Jessie]] tripped over a Super Size Pumpkaboo in a forest. When she came out of the ground, she threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at her and successfully {{pkmn2|caught}} her. She later evolved into a Gourgeist after being traded in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]''.

=====Other=====
A Small Size Pumpkaboo named Prince Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', under the ownership of [[Count Pumpka]]. He fell in love with Jessie's Pumpkaboo and a trade was agreed on. However, when the trade caused Jessie's Pumpkaboo to evolve into Gourgeist, Prince Pumpkaboo rejected her.

====Minor appearances====
A Pumpkaboo appeared as an image in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pumpkaboo appeared during a flashback in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Aliana Pumpkaboo Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Pumpkaboo in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pumpkaboo (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
===Origin===
Pumpkaboo appears to be based on a {{wp|pumpkin}}, specifically the ones carved into {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}s for {{wp|Halloween}}. Considering its fangs, black upper body, and affiliation with Halloween, it may also be based on bats or black cats.

Pumpkaboo's lore of being a spirit unable to move on may be a reference to {{wp|Stingy Jack}}, a folkloric character cursed to wander the Earth as a spirit after being denied entry to both Heaven and Hell, carrying only a makeshift turnip lantern — believed to be the original jack-o'-lantern — to light his way.

Pumpkaboo's different forms are likely inspired by the large variety of sizes in pumpkins, the largest ones possibly being a reference to the agricultural tradition of growing {{wp|giant pumpkin|incredibly large pumpkins}}.

====Name origin====
Pumpkaboo may be a combination of ''pumpkin'' and ''boo'' (a common word used to startle people) or ''{{wp|Peekaboo|peek-a-boo}}''.

Bakeccha may be a combination of お化け ''obake'' (ghost) and 南瓜 ''kabocha'' (pumpkin).

==Latas da Equipe Plasma==

Diamond & Pearl Portuguese TCG Series merchandise

[[File:DP1 Logo BR.png|200px|thumb|Diamante & Pérola Logo]]
As the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] introduced new changes for [[Generation IV]] with the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl Series, new products were made available to accompany the main expansions released. In Brazil, three expansions of this series were released translated to Portuguese—{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}}. Below is a chronological list of all the items released during the Diamond & Pearl Series of the Trading Card Game.

==Maravilhas Secretas Theme Decks==
[[File:DP3 Logo BR.png|200px|thumb|Maravilhas Secretas Logo]]
{{TCG|Secret Wonders|Maravilhas Secretas}} (English: ''Secret Wonders'') is the first TCG expansion translated to Brazilian Portuguese by {{wp|Copag}} and was released in January 2011 in Brazil. Like the majority of all Pokémon Trading Card Game expansions, it features two Theme Decks, known as ''caixas'' in Portuguese. {{TCG|Lavaflow|Fluxo de Lava}} focuses on the Blast Pokémon {{p|Magmortar}}, while {{TCG|Powerhouse|Casa de Força}} focuses on the Thunderbolt Pokémon {{p|Electivire}}. As with most expansions from the Diamond & Pearl Series, the Theme Decks take some inspiration from half decks or deck kits released alongside their Japanese counterparts. Due to the Japanese equivalent of Maravilhas Secretas, Shining Darkness, containing Pokémon with ties to the then unreleased ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', the Theme Decks take inspiration from the {{TCG|Magmortar vs Electivire Deck Kit}}, released in the following Japanese expansion.

==Maravilhas Secretas Boosters==
Booster packs in Brazil, unlike in the United States, were released with 5 cards each. The Maravilhas Secretas Booster packs were released along with the Theme Decks in January 2011, featuring {{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Gallade}}, {{p|Weavile}}, and {{p|Honchkrow}}.

==Maravilhas Secretas Facebook Cultural Contest==
From June 2 to July 1, 2011, Copag hold a daily contest on Facebook giving out 5 Maravilhas Secretas Booster per day (except on weekends and on June 23 and 24, due to the Corpus Christi holiday). To participate, people had to guess correctly the name of the Pokémon silhouette posted on Copag's Facebook wall. The first five people to guess correctly received one booster for free. Each person could only get one booster per question, but it was possible to get one every day. People would be contacted over private message and the Boosters would be sent within a period of 30 days.

==Maravilhas Secretas Twitter Contest==
From July 11 to July 15, 2011, Copag hold another daily contest distributing free Maravilhas Scretas Boosters. Copag followers on Twitter needed to retweet the promotional message along with the following message:
:''{{tt|Sou seguidor da @Copag_Oficial e quero ganhar 4 boosters Diamante & Pérola – Maravilhas Secretas de Pokémon TCG!|I'm a @Copag_Oficial follower and I want to receive 4 Pokémon TCG Diamante & Pérola - Maravilhas Secretas boosters!}}''
Copag would then randomly choose the winner, who would receive 4 Maravilhas Secretas Booster packs.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョン''' ''Pocket Monsters: Crystal Version'') is the third and final [[Generation II]] [[core series]] game for [[Game Boy Color]]. It was released as a [[core series|solitary version]] to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2000, in North America on July 30, 2001, and in Europe on November 2, 2001.

It featured various fixes and some new additions, most notably the introduction of the option to {{player|play}} as a {{ga|Kris|girl}}. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] like Gold and Silver, with access to [[Kanto]] granted later in the game, with the player's starting town being [[New Bark Town]].

The Japanese version had far more new features, all related to a {{wp|mobile phone}}-related linking technology usable through the [[Mobile System GB]] when connecting a [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] to a [[Game Boy Color]] or [[Game Boy Advance]] (original or [[Game Boy Advance SP|SP]]).

The game was available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] between January 26, 2018 and the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
In [[New Bark Town]], the {{player}} is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. Elm provides the player with one of three Pokémon: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to help them get to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house. The player meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during the errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started their own Pokémon journey, gives them a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back, the player is attacked by a spiteful and {{ga|Silver|mysterious Pokémon Trainer}}. Upon the player's return to New Bark Town, they are informed that someone has broken into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the Trainer from earlier battled with (the Pokémon that the player's first partner Pokémon is weak against); even more so, that very same Trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This Trainer will become the player's [[rival]] for the course of the game, having several conflicts with the player as to what it means to be the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer. Seeing that Oak gave the player a Pokédex, Elm then encourages the player to start a journey into becoming the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]].

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the [[Johto]] region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce [[Evolution]] in some Pokémon at the [[Lake of Rage]] near [[Mahogany Town]]. When the player defeats or captures the [[Red Gyarados|Red]] {{p|Gyarados}} rampaging in the lake, [[Lance]] will arrive and congratulate the player for their battling and requests that the player help him find the source of the radio signals. Eventually, the player and Lance discover a secret Rocket Base in a Souvenir Shop in Mahogany; they defeat the Rocket Executive found in the hideout and knock out the {{p|Electrode}} powering the machine producing the radio waves.

Later, after the player defeats [[Pryce]] - the leader of Mahogany Gym - Professor Elm will call the player and tell them about unusual broadcasts from the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. When the player reaches the city, it is revealed that Team Rocket has taken over the Radio Tower, their intent being to try to contact Giovanni and persuade him to return to the organization. Furthermore, the Director of the Goldenrod Station has been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor. After the player defeats the impostor, he tells the location of the real Director; the player then frees the real Director and receives the Card Key, which opens the door on 3F of the Radio Tower and leads to the Rocket Executive currently in charge of the group. The player defeats the executive and Team Rocket officially disbands for a second time. The Director rewards the player with a [[Clear Bell]].

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across {{p|Suicune}}, a Legendary Pokémon that traverses Johto after the player awakens the three [[Legendary beasts]] from their sleep at the [[Burned Tower]]. Unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, Suicune takes notice of the player; similarly, [[Eusine]] shows interest in Suicune, having sought it for ten years and finally catching a glimpse of it thanks to the player. As Eusine challenges the player to a battle near [[Cianwood City]], it becomes clear that Eusine wants to earn Suicune's respect so that he can find out what it is that it looks after. However, it is when the player is entrusted with the Clear Bell that the [[Sage (Trainer class)#Wise Trio|Wise Trio]] allow them to enter the Tin Tower, where Suicune has arrived to put them to the test. Later in the story, after the player has proven their ability to touch the souls of Pokémon by catching all three of the Legendary beasts, {{p|Ho-Oh}} returns to the Tin Tower after 150 years of testing humans from afar.

As in all previous games, one of the main goals of the player is to defeat all the [[Gym_Leader#Johto_League|Gym Leaders of Johto]], win all eight [[Badge]]s, and take on the [[Elite Four]] and the current Pokémon League Champion. Afterward, the player will be able to travel to the region of [[Kanto]] and take on the [[Gym_Leader#Indigo League|Kanto Gym Leaders]] for their Badges. After winning all eight Badges, Professor Oak will give the player permission to go to [[Mt. Silver]] and face the protagonist from [[Generation I]], {{ga|Red}}.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* A female [[player character]], {{ga|Kris}}, is introduced, marking the first time players can choose the gender of their character. The choice is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay or the story.
** The player sprite for Kris is blue instead of red; this also applies to the {{m|surf}}ing sprite. Pokémon sprites on the [[party]] screen, as well as the sprite that appears when {{m|Fly}} is used, remain red for both Kris and {{ga|Ethan}}.
** To accommodate for this feature, some lines of dialogue that referred to the player's gender have been rewritten to be gender-neutral. For instance, {{ga|Blue}} calls the player character "Johto Champ", instead of "Johto boy".
* When entering a location, its name is displayed on-screen. This feature is carried forward in all subsequent games.
* Several locations have had their graphics altered:
** The {{p|Bellsprout}} statues in [[Sprout Tower]] are now beige instead of gold.
** The [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] and [[Celadon Game Corner]] are both redesigned with a different color scheme and a new design for the slot machines.
** The [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] has a subtly different color scheme, and the second floor has been largely redesigned with the addition of [[Buena]]'s studio and new furniture.
** The pond in [[National Park]] now has a fountain in the center, and a drinking fountain is added next to the benches in the south of the park.
** The [[Burned Tower]] appears as a visibly burnt-out building on the exterior. The interior is now dark and has a different layout.
** The exterior of the [[Olivine Lighthouse]] has been altered, with a new window design at the top making it more distinctly resemble a lighthouse.
** The [[Ice Path]] is redesigned with a bright blue ice-like appearance. Some of the puzzles within have also been altered.
** [[Lance]]'s room at the [[Indigo Plateau]] now has a draconic appearance, with the generic statues in the room being replaced with {{p|Dratini}} statues.
** The restaurants in [[Olivine City]], [[Celadon City]], and [[Fuchsia City]] feature a new design with a different color scheme.
** In the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]], there is an [[Easter egg]] on the right side of the staircase that leads up from the roof's entrance/exit. Interacting with this wall yields the following text: "''There's {{wp|graffiti}} on the wall... <Player> added a moustache!''".
[[File:CrystalBattle.png|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated.]]
* Pokémon sprites have been updated:
** Front sprites for every Pokémon now play a short animation upon entering battle and a longer one when the Pokémon's profile is viewed. This feature wasn't carried forward again until {{game|Emerald}}.
** While most of the Pokémon feature an animated version of their sprites from either Gold or Silver, certain Pokémon, such as {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, were given new ones.
** Raikou and the W {{p|Unown}} were redesigned, and their new designs are used in all subsequent games.
** A few Pokémon, such as {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, and {{p|Sneasel}}, were recolored to more closely match their official artwork.
** Several of the Pokémon that were redrawn have different back sprites.
** The [[Legendary beasts]] now appear in the overworld as the three separate sprites [[File:243 C OD.png]][[File:244 C OD.png]][[File:245 C OD.png]], instead of all sharing the same overworld sprite [[File:MS Animal II.png]] (each with their own color palette) like in Gold and Silver. However, after they are caught, they still appear in the [[party]] as the [[File:MS Animal II.png]] [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]].
* Certain Trainers have different dialogue to Gold and Silver.
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune share a unique [[List of battle music themes|battle theme]] when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first [[core series]] game to sport special [[Legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
* The user interface used during Game Link Cable trades was redesigned. Gold and Silver used a simple black on white trading interface that was identical to the one used in the [[Generation I]] games, mainly to retain compatibility with older [[Game Boy]] systems. In Crystal, the menus were revamped with full color on a black background, a design which better suits the capabilities of the Game Boy Color.

===Location changes===
* Grass is now present on the eastern side of {{rt|36|Johto}}, west of [[Violet City]]. In this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[First partner Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}). This can aid the player in areas like the [[Azalea Gym]] and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super effective.
* Just like in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue}} and all releases of {{game|Yellow}}, changes are made to available [[wild Pokémon]]:
** Several Pokémon that were exclusive to either Gold or Silver, like {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, can be found in Crystal. However, certain species that were available in both versions, like the {{p|Mareep}} family, are not available in Crystal.
** {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver it can only be found in [[Mt. Silver]].
** {{p|Magmar}} can no longer be found in the [[Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in [[Mt. Silver Cave]].
** Some of the wild Pokémon that appear in [[Kanto]] have been altered.
** [[Mass outbreak]]s have been dialed back and can now only occur with {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, and {{p|Qwilfish}}. Previously affected species {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Marill}}, and {{p|Snubbull}} are now easily available in the wild (with Snubbull relocated to different routes), and {{p|Remoraid}} is unavailable in this version.
** Some Pokémon that are available at all times of the day in Gold and Silver, like {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Tauros}}, are now purely {{pkmn2|diurnal}} or {{pkmn2|nocturnal}}.
* Numerous Trainers in the overworld have been repositioned.
* Several new Trainers have been added, some of whom can only be battled when certain conditions are met. For example, Pokéfan Jaime on {{rt|39|Johto}} can only be battled at night. Some of these new Trainers won't lock eyes with the player, and when spoken to won't play the "encounter" music before engaging in battle.
* The [[Goldenrod Department Store]] features a new rooftop area. Sales are periodically held here, which the player is informed about if Camper Todd's number is registered in the [[Pokégear]].
* The Flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] has been relocated slightly further from the main street and decorated with flowers, making it stand out from the surrounding buildings.
* A {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, the first in the series, is now present to the north of {{rt|40|Johto}}.
* [[Cianwood City]] has been slightly expanded further northwards, with the addition of the Poké Seer's house and a small ledge.
* The layout of [[Mt. Mortar]] is significantly different compared to Gold and Silver, and it no longer requires {{m|Flash}} to navigate.
* The [[Dragon's Den]] has received several alterations: the Dragon Shrine can be entered, some {{m|Headbutt}} trees are added directly behind Shrine, and the Den itself is now populated with Trainers.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} can only be caught after completing the game and reaching Kanto. They are both at level 60.
** Ho-Oh can be caught after {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught.
** Lugia can be caught after obtaining the [[Silver Feather|Silver Wing]] in [[Pewter City]], like in Pokémon Gold.
* Changes have been made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This includes more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot—completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by those people.
* Trainers who call the player on the {{DL|Pokégear|Phone|cell phone}} now have distinct personalities (one may talk about shopping, another about grooming, etc.), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items, or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player {{Berries}}, Alan gives them a [[Fire Stone]], etc.). In Gold and Silver they all say the same phrase, with only the names of the Pokémon they reference changing.
* A new radio show, {{DL|Radio|Buena's Password}}, has been added. Players can listen out for a password on their [[Pokégear]] radio and tell Buena the password to receive points, which can be spent to redeem prizes.
* The function to reset the clock in non-Japanese and non-Korean versions of Gold and Silver remains, although it is now more difficult to access.
** On the title screen, the player must first hold the '''↓''', '''SELECT''', and '''B''' buttons.
** While holding '''SELECT''', they must release '''↓''' and '''B'''.
** Still holding '''SELECT''', they must now hold '''←''' and '''↑'''.
** Finally, the player must release '''SELECT'''.
* [[Kurt]] can now make multiple Balls from same colored [[Apricorn]]s simultaneously.
* The [[Odd Egg]] can be obtained from the Day-Care Man after speaking to him for the first time.
* 15 Pokémon have changed level-up movesets; however, all except {{p|Suicune}} only have a single change.
* Some bugs with the battle mechanics were fixed; however, the game performs a check when it detects a Link battle to use the older and buggy mechanics in order to maintain compatibility with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. This occurs even between linked players of Pokémon Crystal games.
** Likewise, the game also performs a check that partially converts {{ga|Kris}} into {{ga|Ethan}} at the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]] rooms, even if all the players using the Cable Club rooms are specifically playing Pokémon Crystal.
* A Pokémon's [[friendship]] can be increased more effectively by training in the same location where the Pokémon has been caught or hatched.

===Storyline changes===
* The player must first meet the florist's assistant on {{rt|36|Johto}}, who then heads back to inform her boss about {{p|Sudowoodo|the strange tree blocking the path}}, before the [[Squirt Bottle|SquirtBottle]] can be obtained.
* Suicune, instead of being a side Legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. Awakening the Legendary Beasts is now a prerequisite for challenging Morty. After this, the player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where the [[Rainbow Wing|Rainbow]] or [[Silver Wing]] would be obtained in Gold and Silver instead), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* A new character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|the player]] in [[Cianwood City]] to earn its respect.
* The chain of events to obtain the {{badge|Rising}} is altered. Whereas in Gold and Silver it involves a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her Badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell her cousin, Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.

===[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]===
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

Note that {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}} are available in the Japanese Green (which uses the same encounter rates as international Blue), but not Japanese Blue.

==Localization changes==
* Pokémon Crystal version is the last localized [[core series]] game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.
* The Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal has an emblem of Suicune's crest on the back of the Game Pak's circuit board.
* During battles in Pokémon Crystal, Japanese midline horizontal ellipses ("⋯") are used in the English versions instead of regular ellipses ("…") due to an oversight.
* In the Japanese version, Celebi's [[Pokédex entry]] states: "もりのかみさまとしてまつられる" (''worshipped as a deity of the forest''). This was adapted in English as "revered as a guardian of the forest".
* As the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] was not released outside of Japan, these related features were present in the Japanese version but were entirely removed in the localized versions of Crystal:
** Goldenrod City's Pokémon Center was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center. The localizations reverted it to the Pokémon Center of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while changing some of the [[Non-player character|NPCs]] to match those in the Pokémon Communication Center.
** The Pokémon News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Mobile System GB. Pokémon News was compiled from the saved game data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
** Players could link to [[trade]] or battle through the use of the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] and the previously mentioned Mobile System GB.
** Players could leave a Pokémon and a request for the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This would be implemented as the [[Global Trade System]] starting in [[Generation IV]].
** A researcher at the Ruins of Alph claims that the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] influences the Unown. His unused English text is: ''According to my research... Those mysterious patterns appeared when the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>com Center</sc> was built. It must mean that radio waves have some sort of a link...''
* Some features are related to the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] in Japanese but are still available in the international versions without using that device:
** The {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} was connected to the Mobile System GB. In the localization versions, the Battle Tower is open at all times.
** The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} gave an [[Egg Ticket]] which, when taken to the Trade Corner at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], could be traded for an [[Odd Egg]] which hatched into a [[baby Pokémon]] that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and has a 50% chance of being {{Shiny}}. In the localizations, the Day-Care Man instead gives away the Odd Egg himself and it only has a 14% chance of being Shiny.
** The [[GS Ball]] was [[List of Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation II|distributed in Japan]] using the Mobile Game Boy Adapter. This item, given by a [[Pokémon Center lady]] at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]], may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, Kurt gives back the GS Ball to the player and asks them to check the restless Ilex Forest. Taking the GS Ball to the shrine at Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}}.
*** Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable overseas without [[cheating]] or hacking, the event was translated and adapted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] in Goldenrod City of the Western releases of Crystal, indicating that it was intended for the localizations to include the event, but was later scrapped. Celebi was [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation II|distributed internationally]] by other methods which did not involve the GS Ball.
*** In the release of this game for [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]], the [[GS Ball]] is obtained once the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], being equally available in all language versions.

===Special Australian Rev A revision===
A variation of Pokémon Crystal Version, marked Rev A (v1.1), was distributed in Australia. It made some subtle changes to Game Corner texts without actually removing the slot machines. It also modified some of the coding for the [[Mobile System GB]]'s [[Mobile Stadium]], despite that feature being disabled in the localized versions.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/FAQ.md Pokémon Crystal disassembly FAQs]</ref><ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Crystal/Version_Differences#Australian_Version The Cutting Room Floor (breakdown of changes)]</ref>

===Localization changes shared by Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
{{main|Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|section=Localization changes shared by Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal}}

==Differences in the Virtual Console release==
As with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the Crystal Virtual Console releases include a few changes:

* The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. Like in the original releases, they can only communicate with the Virtual Console Generation I core series games by using the [[Time Capsule]]. Unlike the VC releases of Generation I games, closing the communication normally does not cause the emulator to restart, although it does restart if the communication was cut due to an error. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the [[Pokédex]] and the PC menu.
* [[Mystery Gift]] can be performed with other Virtual Console copies of Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal using the Nintendo 3DS system's [[infrared]] port. Unlike other link features, the user interface remains unchanged from the original games.
* Using [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon can be sent from the Generation II core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]], and from Pokémon Bank, they can then be moved to [[Generation VII]] core series games.
* In battle, some moves had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing by dimming the screen, although this is not the case in all localized releases.
* In the Japanese release, {{p|Jynx}}'s sprite has been replaced with the sprite used in Western versions, as the original had previously fell under controversy for its resemblance to {{wp|blackface}}. In addition, due to the Mobile System GB not being present, Japanese players are unable to use any of the features in the Pokémon Communication Center, access the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}}, and receive the Egg Ticket to exchange for the Odd Egg.
* The event allowing the player to obtain the [[GS Ball]] and capture {{p|Celebi}} is activated by entering and leaving the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] (in the Japanese release) or the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] (in non-Japanese releases) after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], without any additional requirements. Not only is this event now available to Japanese players outside of set dates, and to worldwide players at all, it also occurs earlier in the game, as the original Crystal release required the player to get all eight [[Kanto]] badges first.
* The game uses an independant clock instead of the 3DS's clock. As a result, changing the 3DS's clock doesn't change the ingame clock.

==Legacy==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that continue into the future. First, Crystal introduced the option to play as a female character. The game also featured the first [[Move Tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}}. This was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applied to front sprites (back sprites remained still as they did in previous games). This feature was absent in later games until it was reintroduced in {{game|Emerald}}, after which it became standard. Back sprites did not become fully animated until {{game|Platinum}}, which also added animations for important Trainers such as [[Gym Leader]]s. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, sprites remain animated throughout the battle; before these games, Pokémon Crystal was the only game that had more than two frames per animation.

Even though {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were the first games to use [[Legendary Pokémon]] (specifically {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}) as [[game mascot]]s, it was Crystal that incorporated them into the plot for the first time. The story additions involving the [[Legendary beasts]] (most prominently {{p|Suicune}}), Ho-Oh and {{p|Unown}} were unprecedented, since up until then no Pokémon had been referenced in the dialogue on more than one occasion. This was also evident in the fact that the Legendary beasts received a unique battle theme, and in that the plot climax was no longer limited to thwarting [[Team Rocket]], instead culminating in the battle against Suicune at [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. Later generations focus on their game mascots as part of the plot involving the [[villainous team]] of the respective region (with the only exception being the remade versions; {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} follow {{game|Red and Green|s}}'s footsteps, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are similar to Crystal in keeping the two stories separated).

The Japanese version of Crystal notably introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]] (albeit to a far lesser extent, due to the Wireless Adapter's limited range), and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games. The [[GS Ball]] event was the first time where an [[event Pokémon]] (in this case {{p|Celebi}}) could be caught in-game as opposed to being directly downloaded to the cartridge; this went on to be the case for several such Pokémon in subsequent generations.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with {{wp|IGN}} commenting "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions."<ref name="IGN">[https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/07/30/pokemon-crystal-2 Pokémon Crystal - IGN]</ref> IGN still gave the game an "Amazing" rating of 9.0/10.<ref name="IGN"/> It holds an average score of 79.86% on {{wp|GameRankings}},<ref>[https://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/index.html Pokemon Crystal Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings]</ref> about 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.<ref>[https://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/index.html Pokémon Gold Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings]</ref>

===Sales===
====Japanese sales====
Pokémon Crystal sold 549,135 units on its first week on the Japanese market. By December 31, 2006, the end of its 316th week, it had sold 1,550,698 copies.

==Battery life==
Cartridges of the [[Generation II]] games typically lose the ability to [[save]] in a shorter time frame than copies of other Pokémon games due to the battery maintaining both the saved game and {{wp|real-time clock}} data, causing it to drain quicker. A symptom of a battery running dry is the game's inability to keep track of the time correctly and the [[error message]] '''TIME NOT SET''' may also appear on the title screen.

The cartridge memory is powered by a {{wp|CR2025|CR2025}} or a {{wp|CR2032|CR2032}} battery. Since it powers the memory containing the save file, the battery running out or interrupting the power by removing the battery will cause any current save file to be erased and internal clock to be reset. External power sources and third party devices have been used to maintain or backup and restore the save file to and from an external memory or a personal computer.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Crystal}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Most of the game's music comes from Pokémon Gold and Silver, which have not had any sort of official soundtrack release of the games' original tracks. The closest approximation to such a release is Disc 3 of ''Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection'', which is based on the [[GB Sounds]] item and the [[Pokémon Music Channel#Pokémon Past Archive|Pokémon Past Archive]] radio program of HeartGold and SoulSilver that is meant to emulate the style of chiptunes. However, not all of the old-style music is available on the CD. Additionally, Discs 1 and 2 of the aforementioned soundtrack contain remixes of the music originating from Pokémon Gold and Silver (and Crystal). Moreover, several tracks that are exclusive to Japanese Crystal have not received official releases.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pokemoncrystal.logo.png|200px|thumb|Early Japanese logo (the word ''kashō'' (仮称) means "tentative title")]]
[[File:Pokémon Crystal alt logo.png|thumb|English equivalent logo]]
* Although [[Game Freak]] released a game called ''[[Pokémon X and Y|Pokémon X]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2013, the tentative title for a game similar to the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal with planned support to [[Mobile System GB|connect to a mobile phone]] and set for an April 2000 release was also ''Pocket Monsters X'' (ポケットモンスターＸ), according to multiple sources such as an {{wp|Asahi Shimbun}} news article from December 1999<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000303153731/http://www.asahi.com/tech/news/19991216h.html ネット最前線：ニュース]</ref> and {{wp|IGN}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000303114916/http://pocket.ign.com/news/13341.html IGN]: Networking Pokémon (archive)</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000815220050/http://pocket.ign.com/news/22176.html IGN]: The Cell Phone, GBA and Pokémon (archive)</ref> The game was postponed until 2001 due to the planned release of the [[Game Boy Advance]].<ref>[http://park3.wakwak.com/~pokepale/news/0/old/log/38.htm ポケモン情報サイト「palette」過去ログ38 - ポケパレ！]</ref> The article mentions an [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter|adapter]] for linking a [[Game Boy]] to a mobile phone, with the datacenter server used for the feature being hosted by {{wp|Kyocera}} in {{wp|Kyoto}}.
* From [[Nintendo Space World#2000|Nintendo Space World 2000]], the Japanese logo originally had the same style as those of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/event/sw2000/itiran/mgb/soft/crystal/ ポケットモンスタークリスタル（仮称）]</ref> Additionally, the previous referred source also showed an early design for the [[PokéCom Club]] rooms.
** An English equivalent of this logo was created and used on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20010722063635/http://www.nintendo.dk:80/spil/pokemon/vis_sitetext.asp?SiteTextID=991&Language=1 Pokémon minisite hosted by Nintendo Denmark].
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* This is the [[core series]] game with the lowest maximum level available for a [[wild Pokémon]], having no higher than level 60 {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
[[File:Pokemon Crystal UnusedTitleScreen.png|150px|thumb|right|The unused title screen featuring an A-shaped Unown]]
* The game's opening shows several {{p|Unown}} communicating with {{p|Suicune}} over radio waves, alerting it to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Oddly, this is not part of the game's story, with the Ruins of Alph sidequest being independent of the plot involving Suicune. That said, the Unown are referenced by the [[Sage (Trainer class)#Wise Trio|Wise Trio]] as having a cooperative bond with Suicune.<ref><blockquote>Of the legendary POKéMON, SUICUNE is said to be the closest to HO-OH. I hear there may also be a link to POKéMON known as UNOWN. The POKéMON UNOWN must be sharing a cooperative bond with SUICUNE."Wise Trio, [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/maps/TinTower1F.asm Pokecrystal Disassembly]</blockquote></ref>
** In the Japanese version, a researcher at the Ruins of Alph claims that the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] influences the Unown. His unused English text is: ''According to my research... Those mysterious patterns appeared when the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>com Center</sc> was built. It must mean that radio waves have some sort of a link...''
** Additionally, there is an unused static title screen in the game's data that shows an {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Unown|A-shaped}} {{p|Unown}} instead of {{p|Suicune}}. It also does not reboot the game automatically after the title screen's music stops.
[[File:SGB Crystal unused E.png|150px|thumb|right|The unused title border]]
* This is the first core series game to be incompatible with the [[Super Game Boy]] and the [[Super Game Boy 2]].
** However, the Japanese [[Super Game Boy]] border of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Gold Version</sc>''') is unused in all releases of Pokémon Crystal. The equivalent border from the Japanese {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} (labeled '''<sc>Pocket Monsters Silver Version</sc>''') is not present.
* This is the last localized [[core series]] game to use the slogan ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]''.
* The Japanese version has an emblem of Suicune's crest on the back of the Game Pak's circuit board.
* This game was developed using Pokémon Gold as the base game.
* This is the only internationally released {{cat|Upper versions|upper version}} game where the [[Gym Leader]]s or the {{pkmn|Champion}} don't use any different Pokémon compared to the original pair of games.
* Pokémon Crystal is missing from the list of compatible [[core series]] games at the English boxart and manual of [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], despite the games being fully compatible (and the Japanese lists including Pokémon Crystal); however, the English version of Pokémon Crystal was released four months after the English version of Pokémon Stadium 2.
* This is the final core series game released for the Game Boy Color, as well as the final Pokémon game released overall for the Game Boy Color outside of Japan.
* Prior to the Virtual Console release announcement, [[Pokémon.com]] listed Pokémon Crystal with a PEGI rating of 3.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal-version/ Pokémon Crystal Version - Pokemon.com]</ref>
* The [[Virtual Console]] re-release of this game was announced exactly 17 years after the release of the original game in Japan.
** It is also the only Virtual Console release of 2018 as well as the final Virtual Console release overall.
* This is the only Generation II core series game that can neither be played on the original [[Game Boy]] nor its hardware revisions (i.e.: the [[Game Boy Pocket]]).

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, Munchlax is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Munchlax is a teal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax is known to eat an enormous amount of food daily to equal its own body weight. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its Evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

===Evolution===
Munchlax evolves into {{p|Snorlax}}.

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

====Trophy information====
''"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, has the lowest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Munchlax has the highest base stat total of any [[baby Pokémon]].
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in four games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]. Ordered by release date, they are: {{g|Dash}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Team Turbo|Pokémon Team Turbo]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
** Although obtainable through hacking in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Munchlax's {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number in Generation III|index number}} is the very last in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} (excluding {{p|Unown}} forms).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} instead of {{g|Dash}}. This is a similar case with {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Togepi}}.
* Munchlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.

===Design variations===
The width of Munchlax's mouth has been depicted inconsistently over time. Initially, it was shown to open from the middle of its face, as is depicted in its official artwork and in early animated series appearances. This was also evident in its in-battle sprites. However, some games, such as [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], showed Munchlax with wider mouth designs. The later 3D games and most contemporary animated appearances depict Munchlax with an even wider mouth that spans most of the line between blue and tan fur on its face. Notably, Munchlax is one of the few Pokémon whose Pokémon HOME model differs from its official artwork by incorporating this different mouth design.

===Origin===
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). Its habit of searching garbage and compost while looking for food is another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}.

====Name origin====
Munchlax may be a combination of ''munch'' (to chew on food) and ''lax'', ''relax'', or ''{{p|Snorlax}}''.

Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン ''Kabigon'' (Snorlax), ''baby'', and possibly a play on 権兵衛 ''Gonbē'' (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).

'''Brambleghast''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アノホラグサ''' ''Anohoragusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bramblin}} when [[level|leveled up]] while outside of its [[Poké Ball]] after the player walks 1000 [[step counting|steps]] using the [[Let's Go!]] feature.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1678027317891694593</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1680044846403272704</ref>

==Biology==
Brambleghast is a tumbleweed-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is similar to its pre-Evolution {{p|Bramblin}}, only larger and with more thorns. Most of the branches that compose its loose, spherical body are brownish yellow with light purple tips on top, while the base of its body and its center front branch are entirely dark brown.

The center front branch has two smaller branches near its base, which together with Brambleghast's eyes form a face. The two smaller branches act as Brambleghast's "lips", which can move to form expressions such as grinning or frowning. Brambleghast has small, diamond-shaped, leaf-like eyes; the right eye is black with a thin red pupil, and vice versa for the left eye. Each eye is surrounded by what appears to be a much smaller tumbleweed made of three stalks. The eyes don't blink and instead flip and rotate to express Brambleghast's emotions.

Brambleghast catches prey using its branches, completely enveloping them. Once accomplished, it will not let go of the prey until it absorbs all the life energy it needs. Brambleghast lives in arid regions such as deserts, where the wind tumbles and rolls it around. There are rare occasions of massive outbreaks of Brambleghast, which can bury entire towns.

===Evolution===
Brambleghast evolves from {{p|Bramblin}}.

====Minor appearances====

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Brambleghast (TCG)}}

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Brambleghast appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Brambleghast's Ghost type and Ability. Some tumbleweed species are capable of causing outbreaks, like the {{wp|hairy panic}}. Brambleghast's secondary {{t|Ghost}} type may also be derived from the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|ghost town}}s and empty deserts.

All of this also suggest that Brambleghast may be strongly based on the [https://murciaplaza.com/murciaplaza/animales-fantasticosmurcianos Alicornio], a demon from the {{wp|Region of Murcia|Murcian}} folklore of southern {{wp|Spain|Spain}} that hides itself in a tumbleweed and appears on windy days to snatch the souls of passersby. Additionally, it may reference the iconic tumbleweeds seen in Western films, and its Paldean origin may nod to the many {{wp|Spaghetti Western}}s filmed in Spain.

The way it feeds on its prey by enveloping them inside and releasing them afterwards may be inspired by the feeding habits of {{wp|jellyfish}} and other {{wp|cnidarians}}.

====Name origin====
Brambleghast may be a combination of ''bramble'' and ''[[Wiktionary:ghastly|ghastly]]'', ''[[Wiktionary:ghast|ghast]]'' (a name used for various types of undead in fantasy fiction), or ''aghast''.

Anohoragusa may be derived from the phrase あのほら草 ''ano hora kusa'' ("Um... Look! Grass") and ''horror''.

==Blurb==

Approaching the Capacia Island port after a long journey across the island, our heroes see something that looks like a shooting star—until it goes out of control and crashes into the ocean. Upon investigation of the debris, Ash finds an Amulet Coin, said to bring good luck to its owner. Excited, the three of them head to the Pokémon Center in town for a good night’s rest before they return to the ship.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is investigating the unidentified flying object as well. James finds his own Amulet Coin, while Meowth encounters a group of Beheeyem, who take him aboard their crashed ship and try to pry the Charm off his forehead! The Beheeyem have also tracked Ash’s Amulet Coin to the Pokémon Center and are now lurking outside...

The next morning, Ash wakes up to discover that everyone in town suddenly looks like Beheeyem! He runs to get help, but Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy have been afflicted with this mysterious condition as well. In fact, the only people he can find who don’t look like Beheeyem are Jessie and James. The three of them call a temporary truce to figure out what’s going on.

Jessie, James, and Ash come across a meeting in the town square, where a real Beheeyem is directing the townspeople to search for something that looks like the Amulet Coin that Ash found. When the townspeople notice the three of them eavesdropping, they are forced to find a hiding place, where they find Meowth again and learn about the flying saucer. Ash wants to confront the Beheeyem and make them return everyone to normal, while Team Rocket has plans to steal their technology for the Boss.

They sneak aboard the ship, where the Beheeyem take control of Meowth’s mind so they can speak through him. They explain that their ship crashed and lost its power supply—which, it turns out, looks a lot like an Amulet Coin, and also like Meowth’s Charm. Ash offers the coin he found, but that’s not the one they’re looking for. James decides that if his “coin” is really a spaceship’s energy source, it’s worth much more than he thought, so he isn’t interested in giving it up—until a helpful Thunderbolt from Pikachu sends the villains blasting off again and knocks the power supply into Ash’s hands.

Ash returns the missing piece to the Beheeyem, who repair their ship, release their hold on the town, and fly away. He meets up with Iris and Cilan, who have no idea what’s been happening. But that’s OK, because they’re ready to continue their journey!

==Plot==
Continuing through the [[Capacia Island]] to reach the other end of the island, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} see a town at a distance. {{an|Iris}} exclaims that the port must be near and {{an|Cilan}} suggests that they take a break in the town's [[Pokémon Center]], to which Ash agrees. {{TP|Iris|Axew}} notices a shooting star in the sky and Iris and Axew begin wishing. Ash proceeds to tell Iris something but she refuses to listen. As she looks up in the sky to wish, she notices the shooting star approaching them, which is exactly what Ash wanted to tell her. As they successfully evade the star, the group notices that it is on flames and crashes into a nearby site. The trio goes to investigate. Amidst the rubble, Ash finds a peculiar item and Cilan states that it is an [[Amulet Coin]], which is said to bring good luck to anyone who possesses it, causing Ash to cheer up. Nearby, the [[Team Rocket trio]] is searching the meteorite and the debris as well in hopes of making money. As Meowth searches through the grass, he notices a red, yellow and green light flashing in quick succession. On their search, [[James]] finds an Amulet Coin as well, much to the chagrin of [[Jessie]]. The two, soon, realize that they have lost track of {{MTR}} and cannot locate him at all.

Meowth is seen tied up, and surrounded by a group of {{p|Beheeyem}}. They try to snatch Meowth's charm but when they fail, they repeatedly slam his face on a machine. Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan have reached the town and ask [[Officer Jenny]] for directions to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Upon arrival, they are greeted by [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}. The group reaches their room and decides to sleep, with Ash remarking how he hasn't slept on a comfortable bed for days. He puts his Amulet Coin on the table besides the bed. Meanwhile, two Beheeyem appear to be wandering the streets searching for something.

Morning sets in and Ash wakes up. He is greeted by Cilan and Iris. As he walks past Iris, he notices that Iris and Axew's faces are different. To his utter shock, Cilan's face has also changed and a horrified Ash asks the three of them to remove their masks, frantically pulling Cilan one's off but to no avail. Cilan tries to explain that his face looked like that since forever and a shocked Ash turns to his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu's face appears to be covered by the same mask as well but Pikachu shakes his head, and the mask disappears. Iris, Axew and Cilan try to follow Ash in a possessed manner and Ash and Pikachu run frantically, looking for help. But to their utter horror, Nurse Joy, Audino, and Officer Jenny's faces appear to be different and they appear to be possessed as well.

As he runs through the city looking for help, Ash notes that everyone's face is different and he hides in a narrow street, noting that the faces resemble some Pokémon he has [[BW045|already seen before]]. He checks his [[Pokédex]] and learns that everyone's faces resemble Beheeyem. As Ash and Pikachu decide what to do, they are called by Jessie and James, who are hiding in a manhole to avoid detection by the people. They note that Ash's face has not turned into a Beheeyem and drag him and Pikachu into the manhole. Once underground, they explain that they are looking for Meowth, who has gone missing since the last night and decide to form a truce with Ash till everything is sorted out. They look out to see the bizarre scenario and Ash notices a weird commotion. Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy and Audino are seen gathering the townspeople, and Officer Jenny invites "Dr. Beheeyem" to the gathering. Beheeyem shows a picture of an Amulet Coin and Officer Jenny explains that Beheeyem has asked everyone to find the item. Ash, Jessie and James try to figure out what the diagram depicts but in doing so, Pikachu topples over Ash's head and draws the townspeople's attention towards them. Beheeyem commands the townspeople to catch the eavesdroppers but Jessie drags Ash and James into the manhole and they flee. At another manhole, the trio comes out and looks for another place to hide. They do find a building and James exclaims that they should not be detected here. Ash wonders why everyone's face resembles that of Beheeyem and James suggests that perhaps the Beheeyem wish to conquer the world by turning everyone to Beheeyem, only to be shuddered by Jessie who explains that world domination is only [[Team Rocket]]'s plan. Suddenly, they hear Meowth's voice, who makes himself visible and narrates the true scenario. He explains that the meteor they saw last night is actually a Beheeyem UFO, and when Ash asks him how he knows that, Meowth narrates his experience with the Beheeyem and adds on how he managed to escape when the Beheeyem were not wary, explaining that he also noticed a mysterious glow on the UFO. Hearing this, Jessie and James plan to steal the UFO for themselves to present it to {{an|Giovanni}} and get a promotion. Ash suggests that they must infiltrate the Beheeyem UFO but Meowth refuses, saying that it can be very dangerous and the Beheeyem can control them as well if they are caught. Jessie and James claim that they must do something, to which Meowth notices something and finds a box full of Pokémon masks, including Beheeyem masks. Ash, Pikachu, Jessie, James and Meowth decide to put on Beheeyem masks to avoid detection by the people, who might be still looking for them.

The group continues walking down the street with their Beheeyem masks put on. James is skeptical that the plan might not work but Ash reassures him. Suddenly, a {{tc|Parasol Lady}}'s umbrella knocks off Ash's Beheeyem mask and they are identified by the townspeople, prompting them to run. Meowth suggests and leads them to the harbor and onto a ship, who is docked over the UFO. The group notices and wonders over the UFO's bright and flashy colors. Meowth leads them inside the ship and shows them a portal which connects the ship and the UFO. Once inside, the group abducts a Beheeyem and Ash asks it to take them to its leaders. The abducted Beheeyem leads them to what appears to be the control room of the UFO, but they find no one inside. Ash asks the Beheeyem to come out and the Cerebral Pokémon make their presence felt, having controlled Meowth as well. Ash asks the Beheeyem to turn everyone back to normal, but Beheeyem hypnotize Meowth and use him as a medium to communicate with Ash, Jessie and James. Ash questions the Beheeyem's intentions and Jessie exclaims that it better not be about world domination. Beheeyem begin explaining about their accident: their UFO had malfunctioned and an important component of the spaceship fell off and into the Capacia Island town. The UFO crash-landed in the sea and once the Beheeyem got off the UFO, they hypnotized everyone to look for the missing component, which caused them to believe that they were Beheeyem as well. The Beheeyem add that a small group of people remained immune to their hypnotic influence, to whom other living beings did appear to possess Beheeyem faces. James suggests that they form a small group as well and Jessie questions the reason for their immunity to the hypnotic influence. Beheeyem confess that "idiots" are pretty hard to hypnotize, but after the "idiots" are angered, they change their stance to "gifted people" are hard to hypnotize, causing them to be delighted.

Ash releases the tied up Beheeyem and asks the Cerebral Pokémon what the missing object looks like. The Beheeyem bring in a diagram of an Amulet Coin. Ash gives his Amulet Coin to the Beheeyem but it fails to power up the UFO, leading the Beheeyem to confess that the part is not an ordinary Amulet Coin but only resembles an Amulet Coin and Meowth's charm. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has deciphered that the Amulet Coin look-a-like part that James found last night is the real power source, and decide to keep it for themselves, so that they might use it to power up their robots. Team Rocket tries to flee on their Basculin submarine and declares that their truce with Ash is nullified. An enraged Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, which causes them to blast off. James's Amulet Coin falls from the sky and into Ash's hands and he gives it to the Beheeyem, asking them to turn everyone back to normal in return.

At the seaport, a successfully powered up UFO rises in the air, and the Beheeyem thank Ash and Pikachu for their help as they fly away. Iris and Cilan call out Ash, who is relieved that everything is back to normal. To his utter surprise, Axew's face still resembles that of Beheeyem, and a freaked out Ash is saved from falling in the waters by Iris and Cilan. Axew reveals his Beheeyem mask and Ash heaves a sigh of relief. With a weird and bizarre day behind them, the group continues their journey to the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]]: {{p|Vanilluxe}}. Before the lecture, Oak also showed a promotion about upcoming events.
** A promotion announcing that the [[M16|upcoming Pokémon movie]] will premiere in theaters on July 13, 2013, in Japan.
*** On a similar note, this was the last episode to air before M16 debuted in Japanese theaters.
** A preview of the upcoming {{p|Mewtwo}}'s [[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening|prologue]] in the upcoming two-hour special included scenes from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''
** An event {{p|Mewtwo}} can be obtained by pre-ordering the tickets to the upcoming movie until September 1, 2013.
** A preview of the [[BW134|upcoming episodes]] in which [[Alexa]] will appear, with images beforehand from {{g|X and Y}} of the Pokémon {{p|Helioptile}}, {{p|Gogoat}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.
* This episode aired on September 19, 2013 in {{pmin|Italy}} (on K2), sixteen days before it aired in {{pmin|the United States}}.
* This is the first episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' to feature a talking Pokémon in the international version of [[Who's That Pokémon?]]. In that case, {{MTR}} was featured since {{p|Beheeyem}} was already featured in ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]''.
** When Meowth is revealed, he says, "That's right!", as he did in the original Team Rocket {{motto}}.
* Despite being a main character for the majority of the series, Meowth is featured in the English dub's Who's That Pokémon? segment for the first time. In previous episodes where Japan featured Meowth in the segment, the dub changed it to another Pokémon.
* When {{Ash}} ties up a Beheeyem aboard the UFO, he says, "Now, take us to your leaders!" This is a reference to a classic line said by aliens in some alien movies, which is "Take us to your leader!"
* Beheeyem is the fourth Pokémon, after a giant {{p|Tentacruel}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', a {{p|Haunter}} in ''[[EP095|A Shipful Of Shivers]]'', and a {{an|Deoxys}} in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis! Part 1]]'' and ''[[AG172|Part 2]]'', to use Meowth for communication purposes.
* This episode's plot is a reference of the 1950s horror film, ''{{wp|Invasion of the Body Snatchers}}''.

===Errors===
* During the introduction of the episode, the lights Meowth notices are from Beheeyem's left hand. The two reflections of Beheeyem's finger lights on Meowth's two eyes are shown symmetrically. Both eyes should have reflected the same light pattern (that is, a horizontally flipped left hand pattern), meaning that the pattern shown in Meowth's right eye is correct while the pattern shown in his left eye is wrong.
* In several scenes, the lights on the Beheeyem are in the incorrect positions.
* When {{AP|Pikachu}} is picked up by Ash, the black on his ears turn the same color as Ash's gloves during a few frames.
* In one scene, Pikachu jumps from Ash's left shoulder to the right one, overlapping through his hair and ear.
* The first possessed citizens that jump into the manhole are different from the first ones who are shown falling underground.
* After reactivating the ship, a floating Beheeyem is shown with only its upper half drawn.

'''Trip''' (Japanese: '''シューティー''' ''Shooty'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Nuvema Town]] and {{Ash}}'s main [[rival]] in {{aniseries|BW}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Trip.png|thumb|250px|left|Younger Trip]]
As a young child, Trip became inspired to be a Pokémon Trainer after watching [[Alder]] battle. He later met the {{pkmn|Champion}}, who would let him pet and feed the {{p|Bouffalant}} Alder was battling with. Afterwards, Alder offered a few words of advice, with this experience in turn inspiring Trip to work hard and train to become a Champion. As such, Trip grew up idolizing Alder and held him in high regard.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Trip debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' as a beginning Trainer ready to choose his [[first partner Pokémon]]. After meeting with [[Professor Juniper]], he chose {{TP|Trip|Snivy}} as his new partner. He took a dislike to {{Ash}} after learning he was from [[Kanto]], a [[region]] Trip did not think very highly of. On his way out of the lab, he challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle, as he had much interest in battling {{AP|Pikachu}}, a species that is foreign in his [[Unova|region]]. Because Pikachu could not use any {{type|Electric}} moves at the time, it was easily defeated by the Snivy. Trip left [[Nuvema Town]] to begin his {{pkmn|journey}}, rudely telling Ash to go back to the basics.

Trip was revealed by {{an|Cilan}} that prior to ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' to have [[Evolution|evolved]] his Snivy into {{p|Servine}} and earned the {{Badge|Trio}}.

Trip appeared again at the [[Luxuria Town]] [[Battle Club]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', where he and Ash had a five-on-five battle, although Trip initially offered to have a [[Full Battle]] with Ash. His {{p|Tranquill}} defeated [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}} in just two hits with its {{a|Super Luck}}-boosted {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but lost to Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu was defeated by Servine again. {{AP|Snivy}} defeated Trip's Servine by using {{m|Attract}}. Trip's {{p|Frillish}} later defeated {{AP|Pidove}} and Snivy, after making use of its [[Ability]] and {{stat|speed}}, causing Ash to lose the battle. Afterwards, Trip called Pikachu and Snivy "okay", but said that the rest of Ash's [[Party|team]] was a joke, and so was their Trainer. Trip then condescendingly departed from the Battle Club.
[[File:Trip anime.png|thumb|250px|Trip's appearance in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Trip was training in [[Castelia City]] when a swarm of {{p|Venipede}} suddenly attacked. He used his {{p|Lampent}} to try to fight them off, but Ash yelled at him for doing so, saying that he was only making things worse. Trip insulted him, but was interrupted by [[Burgh]], who agreed with Ash. Later, Trip would continue his pursuit and went after the leader of the Venipede swarm, in spite of Burgh's words, and ordered Lampent to hit it with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Ash blocked the attack. Again, Burgh told Trip that he was going about it the wrong way, resulting in Trip stopping. Trip then used Tranquill to help coax out the remaining Venipede and lead them safely out of the city. That night he opted to head to the following city to participate in his next [[Gym]] battle rather than waiting for the [[Castelia Gym]] to be restored.

In ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', Trip, along with his {{p|Vanillite}} and {{p|Timburr}}, battled Ash once more. During their battle, Trip revealed to Ash the reason behind Oshawott's inability to use Aqua Jet and even told him about the [[Unova League]] [[Champion]] [[Alder]]. Their battle ended in a tie after Servine defeated Snivy, Vanillite tied with Tepig, and Oshawott defeated Timburr.

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', Trip entered the [[Club Battle]], a tournament held by [[Nimbasa Town]]'s [[Don George]]. He was chosen to battle Cilan in the first match up. In the [[BW040|next episode]], he used his {{p|Gurdurr}} to battle against [[Cilan's Dwebble]]. During the battle Trip put Gurdurr's physical strength along with its girder to great use, giving him an early lead in the battle. Despite putting up a good fight, however, Gurdurr was defeated and Trip was knocked out of the competition. After his Pokémon healed at the [[Pokémon Center]] that night, he left Nimbasa Town believing that there was no point to staying there any longer.
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|left|250px|Trip and Ash]]
In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', Trip revealed he had already obtained five Gym [[Badge]]s. During that time, he also got to reunite with Alder, who could not remember him. Seeing how much Alder loafed about while battling Ash, Trip's opinion of him slightly changed. He vowed not only to defeat him but also promised to follow the path he believed in before angrily departing.

In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', Trip registered himself to compete in the [[Clubsplosion]]. He planned to compete with his newly evolved {{p|Conkeldurr}} and his opponent in the first round was revealed to be {{an|Bianca}}, who he considered to be just practice. He then battled her and her {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}} in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]''. Though he and Conkeldurr put up a strong fight, he lost to her in [[BW072|the next episode]]. Like he did after his loss in the Club Battle, he left [[Ambiga Town]] that night rather than staying and watching the rest of the tournament.

Trip appeared again in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'' in order to participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. His goal was to win and get the chance to battle Alder. His first round battle was with [[Burgundy]]. Using his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}}, which had evolved from Servine, he was able to defeat her quickly by utilizing a combination of {{m|Leer}} and {{m|Solar Beam}} and advanced to the second round. In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Trip and Serperior defeated [[Manning]] and his [[Heatmor (Pokémon)|Heatmor]] using the same strategy as before and advanced to the semi-finals, where he once again battled Cilan. This time, however, he and Serperior managed to defeat his {{p|Crustle}} with a {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, qualifying them for the final match against Ash. In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Trip battled Ash in the finals, using his Serperior against Ash's Pignite. Despite the type advantage and Ash's strategy to boost his own speed with {{m|Flame Charge}}, Serperior maintained the speed advantage, swiftly defeating it with a powerful Frenzy Plant, winning Trip the tournament in the process.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Trip battled Alder and his Bouffalant with his Serperior in the prize match, but despite his strategy to lower Bouffalant's guard while also attacking its weak spot, they were defeated in a single hit. After the battle, he was given a speech by Alder about deciding his own path with his Pokémon, and promised to battle him again when the time came. Afterwards, Trip would meet up with Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} following the tournament. After a brief conversation, he and Ash promised to meet with one another at Unova's {{pkmn|League Conference}}. As Trip left, {{an|Iris}} noticed that he had greatly subdued his nasty attitude, having been humbled by his battle with Alder.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' and ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Trip traveled to [[Vertress City]] to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]] and met up with Ash and his other [[rival]]s in Unova. During the match-up process, it was revealed he would battle Ash in the first round of the competition. However, here, he was not arrogant as in past meetings and instead showed a genuine interest in battling with Ash once more. Trip used his Serperior against Ash's Pikachu, who at first unleashed a barrage of its attacks with Serperior simply avoiding every one of them with relative ease. In retaliation, Serperior would unleash a devastating {{m|Dragon Tail}} before following with a barrage of its own techniques culminating in a {{m|Wrap}} attack, cornering Ash and Pikachu. But in spite of these efforts Pikachu managed to defeat Serperior, much to Trip's astonishment and disbelief, with a combination of its {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, eliminating Trip from the Conference. After the battle, Trip would have one last conversation with Ash, before they ended their rivalry and became friends. Following this, Trip then left the Vertress Conference to continue his journey.

He appeared briefly in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'' in Ash's flashback about his travels in Unova.

Trip made cameo appearances in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]] and in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

[[File:Unova Rivals.png|thumb|250px|Trip in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Trip was shown watching Iris's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Cynthia}}.

===Character===
Trip is a reserved individual who tends to keep his feelings to himself. He expressed his emotions much like {{Ash}} used to do when he first left his [[hometown]]. His strategy is all about planning ahead and completing the basics of [[Pokémon training]]. Compared to the other [[rival]]s of the [[Unova]] [[region]], Trip is rather distant and prefers not to interact with them outside of battle. He has a teal-colored {{wp|digital camera}}, with which he takes [[Photography|photos]] for illustrating his {{pkmn|journey}}. He also has a [[Xtransceiver]] so that he can keep in touch with [[Battle Club]]s. However, much like Ash, Trip tends to get annoyed with those who insult him, as when {{an|Iris}} called him a "little kid" by refusing to battle Ash, along with {{an|Cilan}}'s desire to watch them battle, Trip finally accepted Ash's challenge, but was clearly annoyed with the circumstances.

Trip tends to think very little of the [[Kanto]] region—which he refers to as "the {{wp|Boondocks|boonies}}"—and anyone from there. He thinks of Ash as a {{wp|hillbilly}} who needs to go back to the basics of Pokémon training. However, he will help him out once in a while, as seen when he informed Ash that {{AP|Oshawott}}'s {{m|Aqua Jet}} was uncontrollable because Oshawott had his eyes closed, and again when he pointed out {{AP|Scraggy}}'s lack of master over its newly-learned {{m|Focus Blast}}. Despite his apparent apathy towards Ash and his generally low opinion on him as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Trip tends to be quite attentive towards Ash's battles.
[[File:Trip Camera.png|left|thumb|250px|Trip's camera]]
Despite having just started out as a Trainer, Trip already implements many strategies in his battling. He has defeated Ash in all but two of their battles (the former which they tied, and the latter in which Ash won), despite Ash being a much more experienced Trainer. However, he is less forgiving than Ash and takes losses harder. An instance of this is, when he lost to Cilan, he took a photo of Cilan and {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}. When Cilan asked him why he was doing that, Trip replied that he was recording this moment so that he would remember his frustration. Trip also actively insults and is at most as mature as Ash, as shown during his childish banter with Ash during their third battle, along with when he elbowed Ash for [[Alder]]'s attention.

As a result of meeting Alder as a child and the promise he was given by him, Trip viewed strength as the most important thing to accomplishing his goals. As such, he deemed any activities that wouldn't increase his strength as unnecessary as seen when he left after his losses in the [[Club Battle]] and the [[Clubsplosion]], also when he refused to battle Ash on multiple occasions. After his reunion with Alder and his disappointment at Alder's aloofness, Trip began to seek out his own path to beating Alder and becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. During the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], Trip had shown a heightened amount of confidence in his own abilities to the point of arrogance, believing he could defeat both Alder and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after losing to Alder, he began to realize the error in his views, and as such, he had a change in his attitude. This can be seen in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', when he greets Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} with a more friendly approach than before, with his change in attitude being noticed by the other characters such as Cilan and Iris. Along with his newer persona, he showed a genuine interest in battling Ash, and along with that ceased his past tendencies of mocking him. Despite his change in attitude, he still maintains his distance and prefers not to interact with the other rivals.

It was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Gurdurr}} sometime prior to ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', where it was used in the [[Club Battle]] competition. It went up against [[Cilan's Dwebble]] and despite putting up a strong fight, in which it even managed to crack Dwebble's rock, it was defeated.

It was revealed to have evolved into Conkeldurr sometime prior to the registration for the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]''. It was first shown when Trip showed it off to Ash and his friends during registration for the tournament. It would then appear in [[BW071|the next episode]], where it battled [[Bianca's Emboar]]. It started the battle off strong by making use of its pillars and cornering its opponent with a powerful string of attacks.

{{types}}
The '''Dark type''' (Japanese: '''あくタイプ''' ''Evil type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. It was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with the {{t|Steel}} type. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[move]]s with the Dark type, one move was changed to be the Dark type. Dark-type moves are super effective against {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, while Dark-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fairy}}-, and {{type|Fighting}} moves.

{{Flexfooter}}
* In [[Generation II|Generations II]]-{{gen|V}}, Dark-type moves were not very effective against {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in [[Generation VI]].

===Additional effects===
If the target is under the effect of the [[move]] {{m|Miracle Eye}}, {{type|Psychic}} moves will deal ×1 damage to Dark-type Pokémon.

As of [[Generation VII]], Dark-type Pokémon are immune to opposing Pokémon's moves that gain [[priority]] due to the [[Ability]] {{a|Prankster}}; this includes moves called by {{cat|moves that call other moves|other moves}} (such as {{m|Assist}} and {{m|Nature Power}}), but not moves indirectly caused by {{m|Instruct}} or {{m|After You}}.

==Pokémon==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}} Dark-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dark-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Dark-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Fighting}} as the 9th rarest type after {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} and before {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. After the introduction of {{p|Lokix}}, all other types have been paired up with Dark at least once, making it the fourth type to have this trait, after {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Psychic}}.

* The stats shown for Starmobile are the exact [[stat]]s, not [[base stat]]s. The values are custom set rather than derived from base stats, [[level]], [[Nature]], [[IV]]s, and [[EVs]].

==Moves==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are 53 Dark-type [[move]]s, which makes up 5.67% of all moves (excluding those that are Dark-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Water}} as the 5th most common type among moves, after {{t|Fighting}} and before {{t|Electric}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Dark-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

{{DL||Changed types|Some moves}} have had their types changed.

==Abilities==
===Interacting with the Dark type===
A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Dark-type Pokémon if it uses a Dark-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Dark-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Dark-type move, is sent out against a Dark-type opponent, is holding a [[Dark Memory]], or is holding a [[Dread Plate]] or [[Darkinium Z]].

Since Generation VII, Dark-type Pokémon are also immune to opposing Pokémon's moves that gain priority due to {{a|Prankster}}.

===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Dark-type Pokémon will gather [[Wiki Berry|Wiki Berries]], and typically have the Dozing [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Dark-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Darkness (TCG)}}
The Darkness type was first introduced in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set. Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Darkness generally adopts all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon under its typing (from {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} onward).

Darkness-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Grass}}, with resistances to {{TCG|Psychic}}. Darkness-type Pokémon are generally strong against {{TCG|Psychic}}, whilst {{TCG|Fairy}} Pokémon can resist this type.

== Trivia ==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon of any [[generation]], with 16, while [[Generation II]] and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with six.
** Should [[regional form]]s not be counted, [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, with two.
** If all generations are counted, [[Generation I]] introduced the fewest, with no Pokémon having the type.
* [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation VIII]] introduced the most Dark-type moves of any generation, with 11 each, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest (excluding Generation I) Dark-type moves, with three.
* In [[Generation II]], the Dark type saw one type change in a move ({{m|Bite}}), but no change in a Pokémon. The opposite is true for the {{t|Steel}} type, which saw one type change in a Pokémon family ({{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}), but no change in a move.
** This makes the Dark type the only added type to not have a previously introduced Pokémon have its type changed.
* The Dark type was the only type in Generation II to not have a {{DL|Badge|type boost}} from a Badge.
* In Generation II, Dark-type Pokémon could only be found at [[Time|night]]. In subsequent generations, however, Pokémon of this type could be found at any time of day.
* Despite Dark-type moves being [[special move|special]] before Generation IV, every damaging Dark-type move originating from before Generation IV was made into a [[physical move]].
** This is the only type to have had every damaging move change category in Generation IV.
* The Dark and {{t|Ghost}} types share their super effectiveness, with both types being only strong against {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Psychic}} types.
* All types that are resisted by the Dark-type are the only types Ghost is weak to. Said types are, ironically, Dark and Ghost themselves.
* There is another way the Dark type can be seen as a counterpart to the Ghost type. The average Attack stat of Dark-types overall, as well as only fully evolved Dark-types, is higher than the respective average Special Attack stat, despite the fact that all Dark-type moves were special prior to Generation IV. Conversely, the average Special Attack stat of both Ghost-types overall and only fully evolved Ghost-types is higher than the respective average Attack stat, but all Ghost-type moves were physical prior to Generation IV.
* The Dark type is tied with the {{t|Steel}} type for most Pokémon that gain it upon upon evolving, with a total of thirteen each.
* More [[regional form]]s belong to the Dark type than any other type, with eleven.
* Prior to Generation VI, Dark/Ghost Pokémon normally had no weaknesses (excluding {{t|Fighting}} under immunity-negating conditions such as {{m|Foresight}} or {{a|Scrappy}}), as the resistances of the Dark type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. Introduced in Generation VI, the {{t|Fairy}} type is super effective against Dark and not resisted by Ghost.
* All moves that fail unless used by a certain species or form of Pokémon ({{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, {{m|Dark Void}}, and {{m|Aura Wheel}}) are Dark type (although Aura Wheel is Electric type when used by {{p|Morpeko}} in Full Belly mode).
* All Dark-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* The Dark type was the last type to receive a [[Gym Leader]], only getting simultaneously two in [[Generation VIII]].
** This makes Dark the only type to not receive a Gym Leader within one generation of being introduced.

'''Krookodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワルビアル''' ''Waruvial'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 40. It is the final form of {{p|Sandile}}.

==Biology==
Krookodile is a crocodilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a thick maroon-colored body, black back, and white stomach. It has five triangular spikes on its back: four around the middle of its back and one large one at the beginning of its tail. All of the smaller spikes on its back are linked to black, triangular spikes that reach around to its front, slightly overlapping its white stomach. The largest spike sits at the beginning of its long thick tail, which has three, thick, black stripes. The last stripe covers the tip of the tail. Its legs are very short and directly attached to its feet. The feet are wrapped in black and have three white claws facing forward. Krookodile's arms are short and thin with a black stripe around the elbow. Its long, thin fingers are each tipped with a white claw.

Its head is slightly pointed and contains a distinctive black membrane that surrounds both eyes. The outline of the membrane angles upward sharply, coming to points above the top of Krookodile's head. It uses this distinctive look to harshly intimidate opponents. Its eyes are very powerful, with variable focus, allowing it to see things at a great distance, even in the middle of a desert. Its other notable feature is its long snout, containing a black stripe around the bridge, and large pointed nostrils on the end. Four of its rear and two of its front teeth slightly overlap its lower jaw. Krookodile's jaws are extremely powerful, giving it the ability to crush objects as large and durable as an automobile. The jaws can twist a body before breaking it in half. These features are topped by Krookodile's highly violent temper. It has been known to clamp down on any moving object and will do everything it can to make sure its prey cannot escape. Krookodile coexists well with {{p|Flygon}} in searching for food, hiding in the sandstorms that Flygon creates as they hunt, then splitting the prey that they manage to catch.

Krookodile has been known as the "Bully of the Sands". It uses the sandy terrain as cover to patiently wait for prey to pass by, even throughout the day without rest. Krookodile can swim through the desert sands as if they were water. Krookodile's powerful jaws can easily shred thick plates of iron.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], {{m|Power Trip}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Krookodile evolves from {{p|Krokorok}} and is the final form of {{p|Sandile}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Rumble Blast}}: Krookodile is one of the first of {{p|Cobalion}}'s minions that the player encounters. It steals all of [[Toy Town]] and [[Easterly Town]]'s [[Glowdrop]]s, and is later beaten by the player in the {{DL|Sun-Dappled Bank|Mysterious Fort}}. It is later seen in the World Axle Front, where it is [[Rusty Pokémon|rusted]] like the rest of Cobalion's army.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{OBP|Krookodile|Super Mystery Dungeon}} is a local gangster in [[Lively Town]]. When warning letters start appearing around town stating that [[Legendary Pokémon]] are the targets of petrification incidents and that {{p|Entei}} would be the next target, the [[Expedition Society]] soon suspects Krookodile is behind the incidents. After the player, partner, and {{p|Archen}} pursue Krookodile to the top of [[Revelation Mountain]], it is revealed that it was a trap set up by Nuzleaf and that he paid Krookodile to write the letters. Nuzleaf then "rewards" Krookodile for his good work by turning him to stone. During the post-game, this experience is shown to have humbled Krookodile, and he now works as a part-time assistant for {{p|Miltank}} during her [[Moomoo Milk]] deliveries.

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

==Trivia==
* Outside of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Krookodile is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 519.

===Origin===
Like its pre-Evolutions, Krookodile appears to be based on {{wp|crocodile}}s, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|nile crocodile}}, and possibly a {{wp|gharial}}, due to its long snout. Krookodile also seems to be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a crocodilian. Due to its {{t|Ground}} type, it may also be based on the ancient {{wp|Quinkana}}, an extinct terrestrial crocodilian that once lived in Australia.

In line with its {{t|Dark}} type, it may also be based on a gang leader. Its type could also alude to its aggressive and cunning hunting methods. Its ability to spot things from a distance and at a diverse focus range could be a reference to tactical {{wp|binoculars}} used during field missions.

====Name origin====
Krookodile may be a combination of corruptions of ''crook'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waruvial may be a combination of 悪い ''warui'' (bad/evil) and ''{{wp|gavial}}''.

==Trivia==
This was the first card in the TCG to have 200 HP, and also the first card with a Retreat Cost of five. Prior to the release of the {{TCG|XY}} expansion, 200 HP was the highest legal HP value on any card, with all appearing on {{TCG|Wailord}} cards. This figure was surpassed by {{TCG ID|XY|M Venusaur-EX|2}} with 230 HP and {{TCG ID|XY|M Blastoise-EX|30}} with 220 HP, released in the {{TCG|XY}} expansion in early 2014 (late 2013 in Japan). Since then, a number of other cards with over 200 HP have been released, including another {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Wailord-EX|38}}, this time with 250 HP. Only three other Pokémon cards have a Retreat Cost of five: {{TCG ID|EX Dragon|Golem ex|91}}, {{TCG ID|EX Unseen Forces|Steelix ex|109}}, and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Mamoswine|21}}.

'''Rebecca''' (Japanese: '''ヒトミ''' ''Hitomi'') is a major character who appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

==In the movies==
[[File:Rebecca laptop M07.png|thumb|230px|left|Rebecca holding her laptop]]
Rebecca, along with her friends [[Rafe]], [[Sid]], [[Audrey and Kathryn|Audrey, and Kathryn]], came to [[LaRousse City]] to compete at the [[Battle Tower]]. There, she met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and {{an|Brock}} immediately took an interest in her. When a mysterious aurora borealis appeared over the city, she began studying the unusual phenomenon, along with [[Professor Lund]]'s assistant [[Yuko]].

When she and her friends were introduced to [[Tory Lund]], he took them to a special garden where he would go to have conversations with his special friend. She soon grew an interest in [[Deoxys (M07)|Tory's mysterious friend]]. When Deoxys attacked the city, Rebecca and the others took refuge in Professor Lund's lab, and she realized that Tory's friend had the same energy pattern as the mysterious aurora. She concluded that the patterns were a form of communication between Tory's friend and Deoxys; the former means "friend", while Deoxys is asking, "Where are you?"

Later, her Metagross used a {{m|Reflect}} to block the Deoxys clones from catching them, but Rafe and Blaziken were captured after its {{m|Overheat}} no longer had enough power to hold them back. Rebecca later helped restore power to the city in order to help regenerate a second Deoxys' body, having her Metagross use {{m|Confusion}} to turn a windmill. In the ending credits, after the crisis is resolved, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} pose for her webcam. Brock is devastated as she waved goodbye after getting off the tram.

Rebecca briefly reappeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where she was seen fighting {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Swampert}} with her {{p|Tyranitar}}. She later briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s.

===Character===
Rebecca is an incredibly intelligent and curious young girl. Whenever anything captures her interest she will point her laptop towards it and study it. She has a fairly even temperament, but she became irritated when Ash accidentally took her scheduled place in the [[Battle Tower]]. She is also very inquisitive, and when she cannot find an answer on her laptop, she becomes frustrated. This was shown by her reaction towards the mystery of auroras appearing away from the [[North Pole|North]] and South Poles.

'''Squawkabilly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イキリンコ''' ''Ikirinko'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Squawkabilly has four separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Green Plumage''', '''Blue Plumage''', '''Yellow Plumage''', and '''White Plumage'''.

==Biology==
Squawkabilly is an avian Pokémon resembling a parrot, with a large rounded yellow beak and lazy eyes. It has tan legs with feet shaped in a {{wp|Bird feet and legs#Toe arrangements|zygodactyl}} arrangement; i.e. two toes each on the front and back. Each toe is tipped with a yellow claw. Squawkabilly has a rounded, lumpy black crest on its head that resembles a {{wp|pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}, and white feathers on its eyelids, face, belly, and the tips of its wings. The rest of its feathers have different colorations depending on the form, which come in green, blue, yellow, and off-white. The feathers around the bottom of its body are notably longer, giving the appearance of a long coat.

Squawkabilly are known to be exceptionally noisy. They have a strong sense of community and dislike being alone, so they cooperate and form flocks that can contain more than fifty individuals based on the color of their feathers. In the mornings and evenings, they search for food in forests, towns, and cities; the latter is their preferred habitat, where they fight with other Squawkabilly of different plumes over territory. Green Plumage Squawkabilly make up the largest, most powerful groups, and are viewed by their Blue Plumage counterparts as rivals. Yellow Plumage Squawkabilly are especially fierce, engaging in vicious close combat and driving other bird Pokémon out of towns. White Plumage Squawkabilly have the fewest population numbers, although they are still able to hold territory because their feathers help them camouflage against the white buildings of cities. Squawkabilly once had violent territorial disputes with {{p|Fletchling}}, who inhabit the same rural and urban areas.

In [[Paldea]], Squawkabilly is used for the region's [[Flying Taxi]] service. Certain Squawkabilly, such as the one found in [[Medali]] in the [[core series]] games, and [[Diana]]'s in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, are shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of mimicking human speech]].

===Forms===
Squawkabilly has four separate forms: Green Plumage, Blue Plumage, Yellow Plumage, and White Plumage.

==Trivia==
* Squawkabilly is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 417.
* Squawkabilly was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEEDqke-D0 October 6, 2022] alongside {{p|Nacli}} and {{p|Tandemaus}}, though it remained officially unrevealed until the release of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Origin===
Squawkabilly's category suggests it is based on a {{wp|parrot}}; it specifically resembles the {{wp|monk parakeet|monk parrot}}, an invasive species that forms large flocks in {{wp|Spain}} and can have green, blue, yellow, or white plumage, with green being the most common. {{wp|Madrid}}, and other large Spanish cities, have the largest populations of monk parakeets in Europe.<ref>[https://elpais.com/elpais/2018/06/03/ciencia/1528060036_486087.html?rel=mas Ansede, Manuel (5 June 2018). "Así se llenó España de cotorras". ''El País''. Retrieved 3 August 2018.]</ref><ref>Senar, J. C., Conroy, M. J. & Montalvo, T. (2021). In: Pruett-Jones, S. (ed.)

Princeton: Princeton University Press.</ref><ref>Hernandez-Brito, Dailos; Carrete, Martina; Tella, Jose L. (2022).

''Animals''. 12(6): 677. doi:10.3390/ani12060677. PMC 8944835. PMID 35327075.</ref> Its crest may also be loosely based on a {{wp|cockatoo}}, particularly the {{wp|red-tailed black cockatoo}}.

Squawkabilly's appearance and behavior may be based on the punk archetype: the crest above its head resembles a {{wp|pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}} hairstyle common to the type. Its pompadour and noisy behavior could also be inspired by the {{wp|Rocker (subculture)|rocker subculture}}.

====Name origin====
Squawkabilly may be a combination of ''squawk'', ''bill'' (beak), and ''{{wp|rockabilly}}''.

Ikirinko may be a combination of イキり ''ikiri'' (slang for a cocky person) and 鸚哥 ''inko'' (parrot).

'''Beheeyem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーベム''' ''Ohbem'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Elgyem}} starting at [[level]] 42.

==Biology==
Beheeyem is a brown [[extraterrestrial Pokémon|extraterrestrial]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an oblong head that features depressions on both sides. It has black, symmetrical lines going down the front of its head. Under the rim of its head, there lay two green eyes with small black pupils. It has a lighter brown "collar" and four dots on its chest of the same color. Beheeyem's arms have three finger-like digits: one red, one green, and one yellow. It has a rim underneath its main body, under which are two small legs.

Beheeyem communicates by flashing its multi-colored fingers in patterns; these patterns have yet to be decoded. Beheeyem can manipulate the memories of its opponents, being able to erase or even rewrite them. Beheeyem is believed to be responsible for the mysterious disappearances of {{p|Dubwool}} whenever it visits a farm. It is sometimes found hovering over wheat fields. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', Beheeyem is shown to be capable of building and controlling spaceships. Said spaceships are powered up by koban/[[Amulet Coin]]. When humans and Pokémon fall under its hypnosis, they will wear Beheeyem shaped masks. Beheeyem can use those under its control to speak to humans. However, this hypnotic power cannot work on beings who are not very smart.

===Evolution===
Beheeyem evolves from {{p|Elgyem}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Three Beheeyem first appear when they attack the {{player}} at the start of the game. While the player and {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} lose them fairly quickly, they are mentioned multiple times during their stay in [[Serene Village]]. It is eventually revealed that these three Beheeyem, along with Nuzleaf, are being controlled by [[Dark Matter]] and possess the ability to turn Pokémon to stone as a result. One of them eventually breaks free from Dark Matter's control and flees to the player and partner for help. After Dark Matter has been defeated, the three Beheeyem settle down in Serene Village.

==In animation==
[[File:Spinel Beheeyem.png|thumb|250px|Beheeyem in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
===Major appearances===
Beheeyem debuted in ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Leon|BW045}}, a.k.a. the "Dream Thief". Beheeyem had befriended {{MTR}} so that Leon could lure {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} into a trap. It later kidnapped {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and Meowth while they were sleeping, replacing them all with dolls. It also stole Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}'s on-hand Pokémon while they slept.

In ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', multiple Beheeyem were searching for a {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} that fell in [[Capacia Island]] when their flying saucer crashed there. They had hypnotized the town's population to help them in their search.

A Beheeyem appeared in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', under the ownership of [[Spinel]]. It is mainly used to spy on the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Spinel's Beheeyem has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|HZ}}.

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

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Beheeyem seems to be based on {{wp|grey alien|greys}}, one of the more popular kinds of {{wp|extraterrestrial life|alien}}. Judging from {{p|Elgyem}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry, they may also be based on the {{wp|Area 51}} {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories|alien conspiracy theories}} or the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}. Additionally, Beheeyem's design resembles a person wearing a hat and trench-coat and is likely based on stereotypical spies, shady figures, "{{wp|Men in Black}}", or government agents in connection with alien sightings. The shape of Beheeyem's head and body are reminiscent of some interpretations of the {{wp|Flatwoods monster}}. The colored fingers on its hands resemble the colorful faces of the invaders in the {{wp|The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|1953 ''War of the Worlds'' film}}; the aliens in the film had green, blue and red dots just like Beheeyem's {{Shiny}} coloration. The saucer-shaped underside of its head might be a reference to the common shape of {{wp|UFO}}s.

The flashing patterns of its fingers may have been inspired by the 1977 sci-fi film ''{{wp|Close Encounters of the Third Kind}}'', particularly the iconic scene where flashing color and sound patterns are used to communicate with the alien mothership. Its rock-like design may reference Japanese ''{{wp|Dogū}}'' statues, which have often been confused for alien artifacts. Considering its species names, physical appearance, and powers, it may also be based on a {{wp|brain}}.

Its connection with the disappearances of {{p|Dubwool}} and lingering over wheat fields are likely references to common alien behaviours in fiction - abduction of livestock and burning {{wp|crop circle}}s into farmland.

====Name origin====
Beheeyem may be a corruption of the abbreviation ''{{wp|Bug-eyed monster|BEM}}'' (bug-eyed monster, a depiction of extraterrestrials as grotesque creatures with oversized eyes).

Ohbem may be a combination of 大 ''ō'' (large) and ''BEM'' (pronounced as a single word in Japanese).

Pokémon multiverse

Gust4vo:

{{unknown name}}
A '''{{wp|multiverse}}''' refers to the concept of multiple alternate realities. The Pokémon franchise has explored the topic of multiple alternate realities, typically known as '''worlds''' or [[dimension]]s, forming what fans may consider to be the '''Pokémon multiverse'''. Alternate worlds may be used to explain version differences or changes in [[continuity]], and may extend to alternate [[History of the Pokémon world|timelines]] and [[time travel]].

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Zinnia]] mentions that there is another similar yet different world where the war in [[Kalos]] 3000 years ago never occurred, so the [[ultimate weapon]] was never built and [[Mega Evolution]] consequently does not exist.<ref>"''Hope for our world... Tragedy for another... You get it, don’t you?''" - [[Zinnia]] ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> This world contains an alternate version of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. This a possible reference to {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, which are earlier games set in Hoenn that lack Mega Evolution. {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} would later reintroduce a version of [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] from another world based on Ruby and Sapphire, without using Mega Evolution (or [[Primal Reversion]]), while using their Pokémon found in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, possibly alluding to Zinnia's statements and hypothesis.

At the [[Battle Resort]], [[Archie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Maxie]]{{sup/6|AS}} speculates about a slightly different world in which the {{player}} would battle [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/6|AS}} to stop them from reviving {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|AS}}, but dismisses the idea of such alternate worlds as false. This is a reference to the events in the opposite version of the game.

Multiple hidden rings that summon [[Legendary Pokémon]] appear throughout [[Hoenn]] after the {{player}} had defeated either {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}} or {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}. Many of these rings are accesed by, but not limited to, [[soaring in the sky]]. The rings bring forth these Pokémon from unknown locations, having similarities to the rings used by the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Hoopa}}, who received not only a new [[form]] in these titles, but received a new [[move]] titled {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} (Japanese: '''いじげんラッシュ''' ''Interdimensional Rush''). Hoopa was in the data for {{g|X and Y}}, but would not be released until after Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's own release.

Also while soaring in the sky, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} are encountered through inter-dimensional rifts, with Giratina's [[Distortion World]] being referenced.

===[[Sinnoh]]-based titles===
[[Generation IV]]'s {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, their sister title, {{g|Platinum}} and their [[Generation VIII]] remakes {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} introduce [[Team Galactic]], a group of villains whose main goal to create an ideal world by using either {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}}, {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}} or both{{sup/4|Pt}}, in order to recreate the existing world, or create a new one, as the Pokémon are known to control time and space respectively.

====Pokémon Platinum====
[[Pokémon Platinum]] is the first title to directly imply the existence of multiple worlds and travel through them. The [[Distortion World]] takes place in a dimension on the "reverse side" of the Pokémon world, similar to the description of a parallel universe. Home to this realm is the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}. Multiple theories exist to the world's origins. Giratina was said to have been banished by {{ga|Arceus}}, for its violent nature, while others suggest it may have been created as a balance to the real world.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the {{player}} travels across space and time to land in [[Hisui]], the [[Sinnoh]] region in the distant past, through the [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]] that is looming over [[Mount Coronet]]. They struggle to remember where they come from, although they do have insight on what the world they come from is. [[Ingo]], a {{tc|Subway Boss}} from [[Unova]], also appears in this game and is in a similar situation to that of the player, having lost most of his memories from traveling across space and time. Both Ingo and [[Cogita]] suggest that the space-time rift may link different worlds.<ref>[[Cogita]]: "''The space-time rift is said to be a portal to innumerable other dimensions[...]''"</ref><ref>[[Ingo]]: "''If you fell from the sky... you come from another world altogether, most likely.''"</ref>

{{p|Giratina}} is described as coming form a world on the reverse side of Hisui's, referencing the [[Distortion World]].

===[[Unova]]-based titles===
====Pokémon Black and White====
{{game|Black and White|s}} take place in slightly different worlds to each other. In both games, it is said that [[Opelucid City]] is different in another world, with there being an alternate version of the city that is traditional{{sup/5|B}}/modern{{sup/5|W}}, referencing the fact that the city differs between the two versions of the game. The character Thyme{{sup/5|B}}/Bach{{sup/5|W}} (on the second floor in the building east of [[Drayden]]'s house) requests to be shown a Pokémon that knows {{m|Charge}} from the alternate world and rewards the {{player}} with a [[Cell Battery]] once they show him such a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from the opposite version of the game.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
As {{g|Black 2 and White 2}} are direct sequels, the game differences from the their predecessors are also present, as as the visual distinction with Opelucid City.

In these games, the player can earn the "Opposite Trader" {{OBP|medal|Black 2 and White 2}} by [[Trade|trading]] Pokémon with the opposite version or its predecessor, which is described as "trading Pokémon between two worlds".

===[[Alola]]-based titles===
{{g|Sun and Moon}} have a larger focus on the concept of the multiverse, with not only having the plot focused on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, but they are also suggested to take place in different universes from one another.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161119054356/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/sept-6-sunmoon-differences/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon official website] ''"A thorough analysis of the secrets of the two different worlds of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon!"''</ref> These worlds notably contain a 12 hour time difference. {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, being based on Sun and Moon, enter an alternate storyline from the original titles, taking place "in the same world" as that of Sun and Moon.<ref>[https://youtu.be/EMHLx8G1_G4?si=txV5MD5WuS8-xWtl&t=381 Pokémon Direct 6.6.2017]</ref> These two share similar themes from their predecessors, including the 12 hour time difference.

The concept of Ultra Wormholes and [[Ultra Space]] was discovered by professor [[Mohn]] before the events of the games. [[Faba]] succeeds in creating an Ultra Wormhole within [[Aether Paradise]], allowing a {{p|Nihilego}} to spawn from another dimension into the conservation area. [[Malie City]]'s library describes an event in the past suggesting that {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} had come out of Ultra Wormholes from a location outside of [[Alola]]. Solgaleo, Lunala, their pre-evolutions; {{p|Cosmog}} and {{p|Cosmoem}}, {{p|Necrozma}} and all [[Ultra Beast]]s are stated to have come from either "another world" or "a different world" both in the games' plots and their [[Pokédex]] entries.

[[Professor Burnet]], a [[professor]] originally introduced in [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] is a researcher on [[dimension]]s. In generation VII, she is also studying Ultra Wormholes, trying to prove their existence by studying dimensional disturbances. She also mentions that the Pokédex references the existence of different dimensions, which can be used as evidence for such.<ref>"''It’s very weak as proof, but I can’t ignore it. There is also plenty of evidence already in the Pokédex for the existence of different dimensions, right?''" - [[Professor Burnet]] ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Either after the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}{{sup/7|SM}} or unlocks Ultra Warp Ride{{sup/7|USUM}}, a rift appears at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|MUM}}, which can be opened into an Ultra Wormhole and traveled through if the player has a {{p|Solgaleo}} or Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} in their [[party]] at night or a {{p|Lunala}} or Dawn Wings Necrozma in their party during the day. The Ultra Wormhole leads to an alternate universe, known as the '''reverse world'''. It is near-identical to the main world, but the [[time]] of day is inverted and the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|SUS}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|MUM}} and [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|SUS}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|MUM}} are both replaced by their counterparts from the opposite version. An Ultra Wormhole remains at the altar, allowing the player to return to the original world at any time. By going into the reverse world and bringing a Solgaleo{{sup/7|SUS}}/Lunala{{sup/7|MUM}} to the lake on [[Ula'ula Island]], the [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s counterpart will briefly appear before the player's and the two of them will create a {{p|Cosmog}} that the player can obtain.

====Pokémon Sun and Moon====
In Pokémon Sun and Moon's climax, [[Lusamine]] uses [[Nebby]]'s power to create an [[Ultra Wormhole]] so that she and [[Guzma]] could travel through [[Ultra Space]]. Multiple Ultra Wormholes are created by this event, having [[Ultra Beast]]s travel from other worlds into Alola. [[Lillie]] and the {{player}} travel through Ultra Space, finding Lusamine and Guzma in a location simply named "Ultra Space". This location is renamed to the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

After Sun and Moon's main plot, [[Anabel]] is mentioned to have come from another universe through an Ultra Wormhole, and was found by [[Looker]] and [[Nanu]] on [[Poni Island]] ten years before the events of the games. She remembers that she came from [[Hoenn]] and was a [[Frontier Brain|powerful Trainer]] who protected a {{gdis|Battle Tower|III|tower}}, referencing her role in {{game|Emerald}}. Anabel and the player are described as [[Fallers]], a type of person identified by the [[International Police]] to have gone through an Ultra Wormhole.

====Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s climax, Lusamine and Guzma simply open a single wormhole to prevent {{ga|Necrozma}} from coming to Alola instead. At [[Poni Island]]'s altar, the two seemed to have failed and multiple wormholes are instead unleashed by Necrozma, allowing for an Ultra Beast invasion. Necrozma heads to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], with the player following. This allows the player to unlock [[Ultra Warp Ride]], the ability to traverse through different dimensions in Ultra Space, including those that certain Ultra Beasts may call home. One of these is an alternate universe's version of Alola known as the [[Ultra Ruin]], which has been destroyed by {{p|Guzzlord}}.

The [[Ultra Recon Squad]] are a group of individuals who debuted in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. They come from Ultra Megalopolis, a location different from the Pokémon world that the main game takes place in. They were summoned by [[Lusamine]] to help study [[Nebby|Cosmog]] and {{ga|Necrozma}} and assisted the [[Aether Foundation]] in creating the [[Beast Ball]].{{fact}}

In [[Episode RR]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, [[Giovanni]] comes to [[Alola]] from an alternate universe in which [[Team Rocket]] was successful in achieving its goals. He then forms [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] by summoning other leaders of other [[villainous organization]]s from alternate worlds where they each also succeeded in their goals: [[Maxie]], [[Archie]], [[Cyrus]], [[Lysandre]], and [[Ghetsis]]. Each of these leaders uses a [[Legendary Pokémon]] they have successfully obtained. [[Colress]] uses his technology to send them back to their original worlds after they are each defeated by the {{player}}. Team Rainbow Rocket's goals include creating an army of Ultra Beasts to conquer the multiverse by using the Aether Foundation's technology of being able to open Ultra Wormholes. Episode RR ends with Giovanni wondering what other worlds he could attack next before vanishing on his own.

Archie and Maxie take on their appearance from {{g|Ruby and Sapphire}}, while retaining their [[party|parties]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} without use of [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], a potential reference to [[Zinnia]]'s claims of a parallel world that never had Mega Evolution spoken of in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|expansion]], if the player goes to the [[Crystal Pool]] with [[Briar's Book]], {{ga|Terapagos}} uses the crystals at the bottom of the lake to summon [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}. The professor notes their displacement across space and time and speculates that the encounter might be occurring in the future or even in different timeline to their own. That encounter is mentioned in the professor's [[Area Zero journals|journals]] in the [[Area Zero Underdepths]], however, these same journals also mention that the professor finished their [[time machine]] prior to their [[Arven|child]]'s birth, which isn't the case with this professor. After trading their copy of the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} for [[Briar's Book]], the professor vanishes in the mist, returning from where they came.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
{{g|Legends: Z-A}} is set to have a DLC expansion known as [[Mega Dimension]]. As the name suggests, it will involve an unknown space by the name of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. {{p|Hoopa}} is stated to play a role in this expansion's plot. Similar rings found in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} appear in Mega Dimension's announcement trailer.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}} in the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}} is an alternate universe only populated by Pokémon.

===Pokémon GO===
The teaser trailer for the debut of [[Team GO Rocket]] contains the line "Earth is where I shall unleash my evil schemes next!", referencing [[Giovanni]]'s line before he vanishes at the end of [[Episode RR]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], implying the world of [[Pokémon GO]] (i.e. Earth) is in another dimension from that of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

[[Ultra Wormhole]]s appear in the game, along with [[Ultra Beast]]s and the [[Ultra Recon Squad|GO Ultra Recon Squad]], whose only known member is [[Rhi]]. Like the Ultra Recon Squad members from the core series, Rhi's home is [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. The occurrence of Ultra Wormholes caused [[Professor Willow]] to disappear temporarily before returning with a new appearance.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Giovanni}} is the same one that appeared in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as he is the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].

{{mas|Cyrus}} is also the same one that appeared in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as he says that he was about to use {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} to remake the world when he was interrupted by {{p|Hoopa}}'s ring.

A different version of {{mas|Ghetsis}} from {{B2W2}} is playable in this game. Before arriving in [[Pasio]], Ghetsis was about to confront the player from the original game when he was also interrupted by Hoopa's ring.

The [[Team Rocket trio]] from the alternate {{pkmn|movie}} continuity is somehow transported to [[Pasio]] while chasing the {{Shiny}} {{p|Celebi}} from ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

During the {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} [[special event]], {{mas|Ash}} from the {{aniseries|PTS}} universe accidentally winds up on Pasio while training for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

During the [[Twin Stars Far Apart]] [[story event]], {{mas|Liza}} and {{mas|Anabel}} wind up in an alternate world version of Pasio through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. This world appears to house no humans, but does contain several [[Ultra Beast]]s, which appear to have wound up there by chance. The two Trainers eventually return to their own world through another wormhole.

Different versions of {{mas|Rose}} and {{mas|Oleana}} from {{g|Sword and Shield}} are playable in this game. These versions of Rose and Oleana are from a world where they have not yet caused the [[Darkest Day]].

Any character who originates from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] is summoned through a [[space-time distortion]]. {{mas|Rei}} in particular mentions that he has been sent to multiple worlds, originally coming from his own world, being sent to [[Hisui]], and then to [[Pasio]].

Most characters from the [[Paldea]] region are based on their appearances in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}}, and many are stated to attend [[Naranja Academy]]. {{mas|Florian}} comes from a parallel world based on Pokémon Violet, and is a student of [[Uva Academy]].

'''Diane''' (Japanese: '''ダイアン''' ''Diane'') is a character who appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. She assisted her childhood friend and partner, [[Butler]], in his magic shows. The two now live at [[Forina]], in [[Hoenn]].

==In the movies==
[[File:Butler Diane kids.png|thumb|250px|left|Diane and Butler as children]]
===History===
====Pre-movies====
Diane has been friends with Butler since the two of them were children. She was the one who originally gave him the title "The Great Butler" after he performed magic tricks for her personally. She later became his assistant in his magic shows, but she wasn't supportive of him giving up his career to become a scientist for [[Team Magma]]. She noticed her lifelong friend being consumed by the urge to get revenge on Team Magma, and yearned for things to be like the way they were. After Butler's failed presentation to create a "living, breathing" {{p|Groudon}} from a fossil, she traveled to [[Forina]] with Butler and was present when he found {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} in its crystallized cocoon. Afterwards, the pair continued their magic shows, and performed at the [[Millennium Festival]].

====''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''====
Diane first met {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}}, when Max rushed onto the stage after hearing a voice coming from Jirachi's cocoon. She and Butler decided Max should hold on to the cocoon to see if being Max's friend would awaken Jirachi. This proved to be successful as the celestial Pokémon sleepily awakened from its thousand-year slumber. The next night, once Ash and {{ashfr}} had gone to sleep, she reluctantly assisted Butler in kidnapping Jirachi and setting it up as the power source for Butler's experiment to resurrect Groudon. However, the plan backfired when the group woke up to find Jirachi missing, and witnessed Butler's selfish deed. Having had enough, Diane betrayed Butler and drove off with Jirachi and the group, but not before a tracking device was placed on the trailer. Diane explained the entire situation to the group and Jirachi's potential energy and agreed to take them all to Forina to ensure Jirachi is safely back home.

When they finally arrived at Forina, they were caught by Butler, who recaptured Jirachi and used it to create a Groudon. However, it turned out to be a flawed manifestation of pure evil known as [[Meta Groudon]] and started absorbing energy from the earth. She was among those swallowed right in front of Butler, but not before confessing her love to Butler, who was overcome with grief. Eventually, Ash, Max, and Jirachi worked together to destroy the Meta Groudon, and afterwards, she, along with those consumed by the beast, was revitalized. She and a reformed Butler witnessed Ash and {{ashfr}} saying their goodbyes to Jirachi. The next day, they informed them that they have decided to start a new life together in Forina.

====Other appearances====
Diane and Butler made a cameo during the ending credits of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. She later briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s.

===Character===
Diane has a long history and deep personal connection with [[Butler]]. She was committed to ensuring Butler's success, joining him as his assistant and helping him locate {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}. In spite of Butler's evil and ambitious behavior, Diane saw through that exterior and believed he was still good at heart, even after the [[Meta Groudon]] was created. She simply wanted to settle down with Butler, which she eventually achieved.

'''Butler''' (Japanese: '''バトラー''' ''Butler'') is the main antagonist of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. He is a magician and a former [[Team Magma]] {{tc|Scientist}}. Butler now lives with his girlfriend [[Diane]] at [[Forina]], in [[Hoenn]].

==In the movies==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Butler Diane kids.png|thumb|left|250px|Butler and Diane as children]]
Butler and [[Diane]] grew up together, and he would often perform magic tricks for her even when they were children. During this time, he first acquired the stage name "The Great Butler" based on something Diane said to him when he performed the trick of making many {{p|Butterfree}} appear. By the present day, Diane became his girlfriend and performed with him in his traveling magic show.

At some point in the past, Butler became involved with [[Team Magma]] as a {{tc|Scientist}}. He developed a machine that he intended to use to recreate {{p|Groudon}} using a [[Fossil|fossilized]] remnant he had obtained, but when he activated the device for the first time before the Team Magma Council, it malfunctioned and exploded. This failure earned Butler scorn from the leadership of Team Magma and led to his dismissal from the organization. Enraged, he collected the fossilized Groudon remnant and swore he would get his revenge. He and Diane set out on a search for an energy source powerful enough to sustain the recreation, ultimately leading them to discover {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}}'s crystal cocoon in [[Forina]].

When {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] arrived at the site of the [[Millennium Festival]], they saw Butler and Diane exit their truck and set up the tent for his show. The next day they obtained a poster promoting his performance and decided to attend. During the show, Diane presented Jirachi's cocoon to the audience as part of her entrance. Max heard Jirachi's voice calling to him and ran up on the stage to investigate, and Ash followed in an attempt to bring Max back to his seat. Improvising, Butler enlisted them as volunteers for a disappearing-act trick using a special box and his {{p|Dusclops}}. After the show, Butler explained Jirachi's mythology and gave Max the cocoon, telling him that Jirachi could only awaken if it had a friend while the [[Millennium Comet]] was visible in the sky. Jirachi awoke shortly afterward, but when Diane informed Butler of this, he began preparing to execute his plan for revenge on Team Magma.
[[File:Butler M06.png|thumb|250px|Butler]]
Over the next few days, Max and Jirachi bonded while the group took over {{TRT}}'s role as the clowns assisting Butler during his magic show. An {{p|Absol}} from Forina attacked the tent in search of Jirachi, but Butler captured it in a trapdoor cage and put it to sleep with his {{p|Kirlia}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}. The presence of Absol, a Pokémon who only appears before a terrible disaster, led Diane to fear what would happen if Butler went ahead with his plan, but she could not convince him to stop. After collecting the sleeping Jirachi and placing it in his rebuilt machine, Butler recalled his failure and firing from Team Magma before activating the device. When he forced Jirachi to absorb the Millennium Comet's energy using Dusclops's {{m|Psychic}}, the machine was unable to process it despite being upgraded and exploded once more. Butler, however, considered this failure a step forward as he merely needed to understand how to harness the Millennium Comet's energy, having witnessed its incredible power. Again, Diane begged him to stop, but he rejected her pleas. When Diane subsequently took Ash, {{ashfr}} and Jirachi and escaped to head back to Forina, Butler sent his {{p|Mightyena}} to place a tracker on their bus. Understanding where they were going, Butler mused that he had thought Diane would understand his motivations as he activated machinery hidden in the back of his truck.

Several days later, Diane and Ash's group arrived in Forina, guided by Absol to the place where Jirachi would return to its thousand-year sleep. Butler anticipated this and traveled there to wait for them, setting up his machines and traps to ambush his opponents with. Just as Jirachi was about to go back to sleep, Butler struck, trapping Diane and Ash's group in an energy sphere while pulling Jirachi up to the platform where he had prepared the final version of his invention. This time, he was able to harness the energy of the Millennium Comet, and the machine began to draw an outline of Groudon in the earth below. A {{p|Flygon}} living in Forina helped free Butler's opponents from his trap and brought Ash and Max up to his platform, prompting him to send out his {{p|Salamence}} to repel them. The two {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon engaged in an aerial battle, pursuing each other around the hills of Forina. Ash and Max managed to reach Butler's machine and free Jirachi, but it was already too late; the shape of Groudon was complete, and what appeared to be the [[legendary Pokémon]] had begun to rise from the earth, much to Butler's pleasure. His moment of victory did not last long, however, as the creature was not an actual Groudon but a manifestation of pure evil that merely resembled Groudon known as [[Meta Groudon]].

The Meta Groudon immediately started absorbing energy from the land around it, killing off all the plant life nearby and then sprouted tentacles to absorb the Pokémon of Forina and steal their energy as well. Horrified by this turn of events, Butler landed near the others and was nearly engulfed by one of Meta Groudon's tentacles after getting off Salamence's back. Diane sacrificed herself to save him, and her apparent demise sent Butler into a fury against the abomination he had created. He, Ash and Max worked to attack Meta Groudon with the respective help of Salamence and Flygon. After a short time, Butler realized what could be done to stop Meta Groudon and asked Ash and Max for help in using his machine and Jirachi to reabsorb the energy forming Meta Groudon's body. Though Ash and Max hesitated to trust him, Jirachi came to Butler's defense, saying that he was now acting out of his love for Diane.

Ash and Max took Flygon to distract Meta Groudon while Butler rode Salamence back to the platform and began reversing the machine's settings. As he tried to reverse the Meta Groudon fossil, however, the platform shifted and he dropped it. Ash and Max recovered the fossil and returned it to him, and Jirachi willingly went back into the mechanism so the plan could be enacted. Just before Butler could throw the switch to start the process, he slipped and nearly fell off the side of the platform due to its shifting downward again. Flygon and Salamence tried one last time to distract Meta Groudon, but they were absorbed as well. This did, however, buy enough time for Ash to make it to the switch and activate the machine. Driven out of control by Jirachi absorbing its energy, Meta Groudon attacked the platform with all of its tentacles, but Butler threw himself in the way to protect Jirachi, resigning himself to his fate as it meant he could once again be with Diane.

Shortly afterwards, Jirachi destroyed Meta Groudon using {{m|Doom Desire}}, reviving all who had been absorbed by it. Butler and Diane reappeared near each other, and he rushed to her and embraced her in joy. The pair watched as Max and his friends bade Jirachi farewell and sang to it as it returned to its slumber. The next day, Butler told the group that he had realized what was truly important and would be staying with Diane in Forina, but offered to bring them back to the town in their bus first.

Butler later appeared in a flashback during the opening sequence of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. He and Diane also made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where they were living as farmers in Forina when [[Kidd Summers]] visited it. He later briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine {{pkmn|movie}}s.

===Character===
Butler is shown to be both a talented magician and a brilliant {{tc|Scientist}}. Despite being a part of [[Team Magma]], he is never clearly associated with their larger agenda of expanding the world's landmass; he instead is driven to recreate {{p|Groudon}} seemingly to simply prove that his invention can do so. He is both flashy and emotional, reveling in the adoration of the crowds at his magic shows but, deep down, truly being motivated by his wish to simply do something he has always enjoyed alongside [[Diane]], who he deeply loves. All of these traits, however, were warped by his anger at Team Magma rejecting him, turning him into a dark, driven man obsessed with proving the [[villainous team]] wrong about him. Though he lost sight of himself, he ultimately returned to his senses and worked frantically to undo the catastrophe he unleashed, desperately trying to save Diane and stop [[Meta Groudon]].

Once the disaster was ended, Butler finally realized what was truly important to him and decided to retire from performing to live with Diane. He was last seen living peacefully with her in [[Forina]], the pair having become farmers. This showed that Butler dedicated himself to respecting and living from the land he had once destroyed.

'''Pikachu''' is the [[first partner Pokémon]] given to the {{player}} by [[Professor Oak]] at the start of {{game|Yellow}}. It is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'', which this game is loosely based on.

This Pikachu, due to its unique characteristics and mechanics, is sometimes unofficially referred to as the "partner Pikachu" to distinguish it from regular Pikachu originating from a game other than Pokémon Yellow.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. When the player visits [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Oak had intended to give an {{p|Eevee}} to the player to start their Pokémon journey, but his impatient grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead. So that the player still has a Pokémon, Oak gives the player the Pikachu he just caught instead. The Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] ({{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}) are not received from Oak in Pokémon Yellow, but these three Pokémon can be received later in the game (which reflects how [[Ash Ketchum]] eventually obtains all three Kanto first partner Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''). After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu chooses to stay out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] as long as it is in the party and not fainted.

In battle, Pikachu arrives from the side of the screen, instead of being sent from a [[Poké Ball]]. At the start of the game, Pikachu is kept in its Poké Ball prior to the first battle against Blue, but it is still sent from the side of the screen in this battle.

This Pikachu is the only Pikachu found in Pokémon Yellow, although other Pikachu can be [[trade]]d in from other [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games. In the [[Virtual Console]] release of Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu can participate in the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame.

====Starting moveset====
{{Pokémon
|gen=1
|ndex=0025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|type1=Electric
|level=5
|move1=ThunderShock|move1type=Electric
|move2=Growl|move2type=Normal}}

====Friendship====
{{main|Friendship|section=Generation I}}

In Pokémon Yellow, the concept of [[friendship]] was first introduced as a game mechanic specific to Pikachu. There are several actions that increase or decrease Pikachu's friendship. Pikachu's friendship value remains even if Pikachu is traded to other Generation I or II games and then traded back to its original game.

Although the player's friendship with Pikachu does not have many uses in the game, it is vital if the player wishes to receive a Bulbasaur in [[Cerulean City]].

This game mechanic was later expanded in [[Generation II]], where each individual Pokémon has its own friendship value.

====Interactions====
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|thumb|Pikachu and the player traveling together]]
Should the player speak to Pikachu, a small animation of his current emotion will pop up; this image can also be an indication of Pikachu's friendship. The game also shows animations of several other events:

*If the player has been idle for at least 8 seconds, Pikachu starts randomly turning to look at one of the four directions.
*If the player has been idle for at least 8 seconds and the player and Pikachu are separated by a ledge, Pikachu starts jumping or spinning around.
*If talked to right after the player loses to Blue in the Pokémon Lab, Pikachu will turn its back to the player.
*If talked to right after the player wins against Blue in the Pokémon Lab, it will appear uninterested in the player.
*If Pikachu is affected by a [[status condition]], it will appear weak or in pain. If it is asleep, it will appear asleep when talked to.
*If Pikachu has just learned {{m|Thunder}} or Thunderbolt, it may shock the player if talked to.
*When the player heals their Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, Pikachu jumps over the counter to be healed. Once the healing process ends, Pikachu remains on the counter until the player walks away with it.
*In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|Sing}} a lullaby if talked to. After listening to the Jigglypuff, Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleeping if talked to, instead of healing the party. The cable club will also be inaccessible. Until the player awakens Pikachu, it cannot be deposited into the [[PC]], have items used on it (excluding the [[Poké Flute]]), or moved in the party.
*When the player goes to [[Bill]]'s house and discovers that he has turned into a Pokémon, Pikachu will approach him and look confused. When Bill reappears in human form, Pikachu will appear to be shocked.
*If the player walks into the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu will approach a {{p|Clefairy}} and fall in love with it.
*If the player uses a fishing rod and then checks Pikachu, it will appear to have a bait bucket over its head.
*If taken inside [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will appear to be scared.
*If talked to right after the player catches a Pokémon, it will make a V with its fingers to represent victory, similarly to how Ash's Pikachu posed after Ash caught {{AP|Caterpie}}.
*If talked to after the player loses or runs away from a battle, or the battle ends by the use of {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}}, Pikachu will appear disappointed in and unsure of its Trainer.
*Reflecting the [[EP014|actions]] of Ash's Pikachu, this Pikachu will refuse a [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]] given to it in Yellow, and, if talked to after the player tries to use the stone, will shake its head in refusal.
*After the player stores Pikachu in Bill's computer, Pikachu complains and becomes less friendly toward the player.

====Walking animation====
In the game overworld, Pikachu's walking animation is faster if its friendship is equal to or higher than 80.

====Location====
In Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu appears only once on {{rt|1|Kanto}}, at the start of the game. No other wild Pikachu can be found anywhere else.

====Entering battles====
The player's partner Pikachu appears quickly moving from left to right when entering a [[Pokémon battle]], unlike other Pokémon who are sent from their Poké Balls.

This references the fact that Pikachu is not kept in a Poké Ball. However, in the first battle against the rival {{ga|Blue}}, Pikachu also appears moving from left to right like in all battles, despite the fact that, at this point, it was being kept in the Poké Ball instead.

A Pikachu traded from another game (with a different [[Original Trainer|OT]] or [[Trainer ID number]]) is also sent from a Poké Ball in battle like any regular Pokémon.

In link battles, the opponent’s Pikachu is always treated like a regular Pokémon, even if both players are playing Pokémon Yellow. When Pikachu is sent for battle, it is shown arriving from the side in its original game, but it is shown coming from a Poké Ball in the other player's game.

====Cry====
This Pikachu says its own name, [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]], as opposed to the electronic noise uttered by other Pokémon. When Pikachu is in the process of being sent or received in a [[trade]], it utters an electronic noise like other Pokémon, instead of saying its own name. Another player's Pikachu in a link battle is always treated like a regular Pikachu, so it utters the standard electronic cry.

====Individual values and gender====
As seen in the game data, this Pikachu's [[individual values]] (IVs) are randomly generated twice. They are first generated when it appears as a wild Pokémon on {{rt|1|Kanto}}, but these original values are ignored and discarded as Pikachu is immediately caught by [[Professor Oak]]. Pikachu's IVs are randomly generated again when it is given to the player at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

Pikachu has no identified [[gender]] in Pokémon Yellow, like all other Pokémon in [[Generation I]] games except for {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}. This Pikachu is shown to be male or female, based on its Attack IV (the value generated when given to the player), like any other Pikachu, if it is [[trade]]d to a [[Generation II]] game, used in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], or transferred from a [[Virtual Console]] game to [[Pokémon Bank]] through the [[Poké Transporter]].

====Catch rate and held item====
As seen in the game data, when this Pikachu appears as a wild Pokémon on {{rt|1|Kanto}} and is caught by [[Professor Oak]], it has a catch rate of 190 like any wild Pikachu. However, when it is given to the player, this Pikachu has a catch rate of 163, which is the [[List of items by index number in Generation II|Generation II index number]] of the [[Light Ball]].

If this Pikachu is traded from Pokémon Yellow into the [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] or is used in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], it is shown to be [[held item|holding]] a [[Light Ball]] due to the fact that the Generation I catch rate value is interpreted as the Pokémon's held item in Generation II.

If a Pokémon in the [[Virtual Console]] version of a Generation I or II game is transferred to [[Pokémon Bank]] via the [[Poké Transporter]], it will not have any held item. The held item is lost in a Generation I game, or returns to the bag in a Generation II game.

====Evolution====
Pikachu is unable to evolve in its original game. If the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]] on it, Pikachu will shake its head in refusal and the game text will say "<sc>Pikachu</sc> is refusing!", but this does not affect their friendship. However, it can evolve into {{p|Raichu}} in another game (including another copy of Pokémon Yellow). There is no way to obtain Raichu in Pokémon Yellow except by either trading one in or using a Thunderstone on an {{pkmn2|outsider}} Pikachu. If Pikachu evolves into Raichu, it is treated like any other Pokémon, even if it returns to its original game: it is kept in the Poké Ball and doesn't follow the player, it doesn't have a [[friendship]] value, etc.

====Releasing====
Pikachu is unable to be released in its original game. If the player attempts to release Pikachu, it will complain and the game text will say "Pikachu looks unhappy about it!", but this does not affect their friendship. Pikachu can be traded away and released in another game, or released normally in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], like any other Pokémon. If Pikachu evolves in another game and returns to its original game as {{p|Raichu}}, it can be released normally as well.

====Multiple partner Pikachu====
In {{game|Yellow}}, even though the player's partner Pikachu is a unique Pokémon and there is no other Pikachu available in-game, any other Pikachu that the player is the [[Original Trainer]] of (according to their Original Trainer name and [[Trainer ID number]]) is equally treated as the partner Pikachu. This includes any duplicates of the partner Pikachu with the use of [[cloning glitches]], or any wild Pikachu encountered in the current game by means such as the [[old man glitch]] or the [[Mew glitch|Trainer-Fly glitch]].

If a Pokémon Yellow player has the same name and ID as a player of any other [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II|II]] game (including another copy of Pokémon Yellow), any Pikachu caught or originally hatched as a {{p|Pichu}} in the other game is treated as the partner Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow.

If the player has multiple OT Pikachu in the [[party]], only the first of those Pikachu is able to follow the player. If the first OT Pikachu is affected by a non-volatile [[status condition]], then it will react with the respective animation when the player interacts with it. If the first OT Pikachu is [[fainting|fainted]], then no Pikachu follows the player. If the player swaps the order of fainted and non-fainted Pikachu in the party, this makes the Pikachu seen in the overworld appear or disappear based on the first OT Pikachu.

When Pikachu is affected by certain scripted events in the overworld, it will not be possible to see the [[summary]] or change the order of any OT Pikachu in the party before the event ends. This includes Pikachu sleeping as a result of the player interacting with {{p|Jigglypuff}} at the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]], or Pikachu interacting with {{p|Clefairy}} at the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Fan Club]].

All partner Pikachu are unable to evolve in the current game and speak by saying variations of their name "Pikachu" voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]] instead of the regular electronic cry of other Pokémon. All partner Pikachu share the same friendship value, so any friendship-modifying event applies to all of them. For instance, if any partner Pikachu [[level|levels up]] or if the player teaches a [[TM]] move to any partner Pikachu, the shared friendship value increases; if any partner Pikachu faints or if the player deposits any partner Pikachu in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], the shared friendship value decreases. However, Pikachu's friendship only increases as a result of challenging a [[Gym Leader]] if the first OT Pikachu in the party is not fainted when the battle starts.

====Comparison with other Pikachu====
Any {{pkmn2|outsider}} Pikachu (according to their Original Trainer name and [[Trainer ID number]]) behaves like any other regular Pokémon. An outsider Pikachu can be traded from other compatible games. Additionally, sometimes Pikachu were distributed as events, such as the {{DL|List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation I|Nintendo Power Pikachu}} (a [[Surfing Pikachu]] that was available from [[Nintendo Power]] in 1999).

Outsider Pikachu don't have a [[friendship]] value, and they don't follow or interact with the player like the partner Pikachu. In battle, outsider Pikachu are sent from a Poké Ball (as opposed to being sent from the side like the partner Pikachu). The outsider Pikachu don't say their name; their [[cry]] is a normal electronic noise like other Pokémon. The outsider Pikachu are able to [[evolution|evolve]] normally into {{p|Raichu}}, and are able to be {{pkmn2|released}}.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
Using the [[Transfer Pak]], {{game|Yellow}} can connect with the games in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].

In the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Stadium]], Pikachu is treated like any other Pokémon. When either the [[Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is connected with Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu has some unique animations, and it speaks by saying its own name, [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]] (unlike the electronic noise [[cry]] of other Pikachu).
* When idle in battle, Pikachu keeps swinging its head to the sides, with its ears slightly uneven.
** This idle animation is seen in the Gallery screen as well. (This screen is used to take snapshots of the player's Pokémon, only in the North American version of [[Pokémon Stadium]].)
** Only in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], this idle animation is shown when Pikachu is checked in the PC or the [[trade machine|trading machine]] in the Pokémon Lab.
* When entering a battle, Pikachu waves happily to the player. In the Gallery screen, the partner Pikachu waves happily every few seconds.

When Pikachu is in battle, it does not matter whether the player or the computer is using it; in either case, Pikachu still has its unique animations and talks by saying its own name. (The computer is able to use the player's Pokémon in the Free Battle mode of all three Pokémon Stadium games.)

Pokémon Stadium 2 features [[gender]]s and [[held item]]s. When Pokémon Yellow (or any other [[Generation I]] or [[Generation II]] game) is connected to Pokémon Stadium 2, all Pokémon's [[gender]]s and [[held item]]s are displayed as usual, despite the fact that genders (except for {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}) and held items are not featured in the Generation I games. Like any other Pikachu, the partner Pikachu is either male or female. Pikachu initially holds a [[Light Ball]], but the player may take or replace that item by using the [[PC]] in the Pokémon Lab.

Pikachu can be released normally like any other Pokémon in any of the three games of the Pokémon Stadium series.

==Trivia==
* The Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}} may have inspired the concept of any Pokémon [[walking Pokémon|following the player outside their Poké Ball]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Although Pikachu initially resides inside of its Poké Ball until the player has battled with the rival for the first time in Pokémon Yellow, it still enters the first battle from outside of the Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow is the only Pokémon that:
** Is the only [[following Pokémon]] available in a specific game.
** Is the only Pokémon with a [[friendship]] value available in a specific game.
** Loses some friendship if it is stored in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
** Has a different cry to other Pokémon of the same species in the same game (in Pokémon Yellow, other Pikachu have a regular noise as their cry instead of being [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]).
* In the core series games, the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow is the only [[List of the player's first Pokémon|starting Pokémon]] that:
** Is the player's first Pokémon in an upper version but not in the original versions.
** Is the player's first Pokémon in the same [[generation]] but not in the same game as the introduction of its species.
** Is seen being caught by a [[Pokémon Professor]].
** Is obtained by the player after a failed attempt to obtain another first Pokémon (in this case, after attempting to obtain {{p|Eevee}}).
** Is able to gain a type advantage against the rival's first Pokémon only after the latter has evolved (in this case, into {{p|Vaporeon}}).
** Is only able to evolve after it is traded to another game.
* In the core series games, Pikachu (including both the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow and the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner Pikachu}} from {{LGPE}}) is the only starting Pokémon that:
** Is {{type|Electric}}.
** Has a [[gender]] ratio other than [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|seven males to one female]].
** Has a previous [[evolution|evolutionary]] stage (in this case, {{p|Pichu}}).
* According to the Japanese manual of Pokémon Yellow, the [[player character]] (Pikachu's Trainer) is named Yellow (Japanese: イエロー). This follows the trend where the player character was always named according to the current game in the Japanese core series manuals up to Generation II.

The '''Nintendo DSi''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドー{{j|DSi}}''' ''Nintendo DSi'') is the second redesign of the [[Nintendo DS]], after the [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]]. The system was released in Japan on November 1, 2008 in the colors matte black and white. It was released in Australia on April 2, 2009, in Europe on April 3, 2009, and in the United States on April 5, 2009. Initially, the white model was replaced for blue in the Americas. However, the white and pink options became available later on as well. An upgraded version, the [[Nintendo DSi XL]], was announced on October 29, 2009.

==Changes from Nintendo DS Lite==
* 12% thinner than DS Lite
* Screens are 3.25 inches, an increase of .25 from DS Lite
* Two 0.3-megapixel cameras inside and on the back of the system with a maximum resolution of 640×480
* Doubled main CPU clock rate (133 MHz in comparison to 67 MHz of the previous systems)
* Four times as much RAM (16 MB in comparison to 4 MB of the previous systems)
* [[Game Boy Advance]] slot has been removed
* {{wp|Secure Digital|SD card slot}} added to transfer photos and music between DSi, [[Wii]], PC, and digital cameras
* Music playback for AAC music files
* Record sounds with the microphone
* Enhanced speakers and audio
* Nintendo DSi Shop from which DSi applications can be bought using Nintendo Points
* Free-to-download Opera Internet browser available at launch
** In later models, this software, along with Flipnote Studio, is already installed
* Power button relocated below D-Pad
* Stylus relocated to below SD card slot
* New user interface similar to that of Wii
* Integrated Photo application and music playback
* Applications from the Nintendo DSi Shop are region-locked
* Certain DS game-card games are region-locked on the DSi and later models, such as the Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}
* The startup tone no longer differs on the owner's [[birthday]]
* The sound changing button has been moved to the left-hand side.

===Game Boy Advance incompatibility===
The biggest change, perhaps, between the previous models and the DSi is the removal of the GBA port. This causes the system to be unable to play the [[Generation III]] games as well as other [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Because of the [[Generation IV]] games' use of [[dual-slot mode]], the incompatibility makes it impossible to capture Pokémon of previous generations, and impossible to use [[Pal Park]] for migration of Pokémon from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and {{v2|Emerald}}, or [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]].

===DSi-enhanced features===
DSi-enhanced games are DS games that have additional features when played on the Nintendo DSi or [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]]. {{4v|Black|White}} can utilize the camera when using the [[Xtransceiver]], and they and [[Pokémon Conquest]] can connect to {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} and {{wp|WPA2}} protected wireless networks, when played on a DSi or 3DS. However, the Japanese versions of these five games are also region-locked, though only on DSi and 3DS, due to the lock being enforced by the system software rather than the game software, with no such enforcement existing on previous DS designs.

'''Hatterene''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリムオン''' ''Brimuon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Hattrem}} starting at [[level]] 42. It is the final form of {{p|Hatenna}}.

Hatterene can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Hatterene''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Hatterene is a small humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thin, white body. Its head is round and has a small mouth, narrow black eyes with white pupils, and two elliptical pink markings over each of its eyes resembling eyelashes or eyebrows. It has extremely long, layered, symmetrical hair, far longer than its body is tall; much like a cloak, the hair on its head drapes to the ground and swathes around it to conceal much of its true body, which is adorned by a pink semi-translucent dress that gives it a much taller silhouette, resembling that of a stereotypical sorceress or witch. This hair is colored in a gradient of baby-blue, pale pink, and white from its upper portions downwards. The hair above Hatterene's head is shaped like a wide-brimmed witch's hat with a conical shape serving as the crown of the hat formation. Extending from the pointed end of the hat is a single tentacle that ends in a pink bulb and a consecutive baby-blue, hand-shaped bulb that has a trio of sharp claws, which can articulate in a manner similar to fingers, jutting out of it. Hatterene is a female-only species.

Hatterene has a solitary and reclusive nature, emitting psychic powers strong enough to cause headaches as a method to deter others from approaching and disturbing it. It has also been observed that it dislikes loud noises, tearing apart perpetrators with the claws on its tentacle as a result. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Hatterene plays with people's minds and creates illusions, deceiving them for its own pleasure. Due to its long hair obstructing its floating body, Hatterene's main forms of locomotion are levitation and short-distance teleportation. This Pokémon lives in forests with no other living creatures nearby, and as such it is known as the Forest Witch.

Hatterene is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Magic Powder}}.

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

Gigantamax Hatterene has grown to a colossal size. While its physiology remains vastly the same, its black eyes are now blue with white pupils. In addition to this, its hair has grown and increased in volume, forming a chamber of sorts that its body sits in. On both sides of this chamber are a pair of teardrop-shaped openings. The hat-like formation on its head has also changed, with the brim being thinner and draping around it and the crown ending in a pink bulb. Attached to the said bulb is a larger baby-blue bulb that has three, long tentacles tapering from it. As seen with all Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon, three red clouds loom and swirl above the hat of Gigantamax Hatterene. Known as the Raging Goddess, Gigantamax Hatterene has the ability to sense the emotions of creatures from over 30 miles away, and it will become enraged and attack if it senses any hostility. Its tentacles are capable of firing off energy beams akin to lightning.

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

==Trivia==
* Hatterene, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}, and their evolutionary lines can be considered counterparts.
** Both are [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon [[Evolution|evolving]] once at level 32, then at level 42.
** Hatterene and its pre-evolved forms are female-only, while Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are male-only.
** Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield and [[catch rate]] as their counterpart (e.g. Hatterene and Grimmsnarl both have a base stat total of 510), except for Hatenna and Impidimp's [[catch rate]].
** These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in the [[National Pokédex]], the [[Galar Pokédex]], the [[Crown Tundra Pokédex]] and the [[Paldea Pokédex]].
** Both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Hatterene resembles witches, and Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins.
** Both Pokémon are {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon based around long hair that have their {{stat|Speed}} drop upon Evolution.
** Both Pokémon are the signature Pokémon of a [[rival]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who is a succeeding [[Gym Leader]] and [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxes]] it ([[Bede]]'s Hatterene and [[Marnie]]'s Grimmsnarl).
* Despite the fact that Hatterene's means of movement involves short-distance teleportation, it cannot learn the move {{m|Teleport}}.

===Origin===
Hatterene seems to be based on a {{wp|hag}}, a type of fairy or witch with the appearance of an old woman, often depicted as living in isolation in a cabin or hut in the wood, such as {{wp|Baba Yaga}} or the witch from {{wp|Hansel and Gretel}}. The hat-like hair on top of its head resembles a stereotypical witch's hat combined with a {{wp|hennin}}, a headwear worn by noblewomen in the Middle Ages. The way Hatterene's hair hangs from the top of its body resembles ribbons on a {{wp|maypole}}, a large pole that is a central part of several European festivals celebrating the arrival of summer.

Hatterene seems to represent neutral or benevolent aspects of witches; as opposed to its counterpart, {{p|Grimmsnarl}}, who appears to represent the malevolent aspects. This contrast is a relatively common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodWitchVersusBadWitch trope], in which "good" witches are commonly depicted as beautiful and wearing light colored clothing, or as a {{wp|fairy godmother}}.

Its appearance and use of hair may also be inspired by {{wp|Harionago}}, a female ghoul from Japanese folklore described as a beautiful woman that uses its extremely long hair tipped with thorn-like barbs to attack. Its small body, as well as the "windows" in its Gigantamax form, also resemble the common fairy tale motif of a girl locked away in a tower. In particular, due to its extremely long hair, it may reference {{wp|Rapunzel}}.
====Name origin====
Hatterene may be a combination of ''hatter'' and ''serene''.

Brimuon may be a combination of ''brim'' and 無音 ''muon'' (silence).

[[File:Whitley Red Fog of Terror.png|thumb|150px|Whitley as the main character in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS548|Epilogue]]'', {{adv|Whitley}} briefly wore the main character costume from ''Red Fog of Terror'' while visiting Pokéstar Studios.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The alternate title, '''La Nebbia Rossa''', is Italian and translates to "The Red Mist."
* The name of the director, John Pokénter, is likely a reference to the real world film director {{wp|John Carpenter}}.
* The monster seen in the final movie has the same base stats as the humanoids it commands. It is only stronger than them because of its level and advantageous type over the player's preset Pokémon.

'''Skuntank''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スカタンク''' ''Skutank'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Stunky}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
[[File:Skuntank opening tail tip animated.png|thumb|left|Skuntank opening its tail tip]]
Skuntank is a medium-sized mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a skunk with a cat-like face. It has purple, spiky fur with several tan stripes. The whiskers present on its pre-Evolution have since vanished or have been replaced by furry purple tufts on the sides of Skuntank's face. Its legs are tan, and the tan coloration of its underside now forms a spiky pattern. Its nose is larger than its pre-Evolution. Its massive tail, which has a cream-colored stripe, sits on top of its back and head.

Skuntank is known for its noxious fluid which smells dreadful. It can spray this fluid over 160 feet (50 meters), and the longer it allows the liquid to ferment within its belly, the more powerful the smell. Unlike its pre-Evolution and real-life skunks, which spray fluids from their rears, Skuntank sprays its fluid from its tail tip, which can open. The stench of Skuntank's fluid varies depending on its diet. Skuntank prefers to nest in large, prickly bushes in heavily wooded areas and digs holes in the ground to make its nest. While Skuntank can use its poisonous fluids to take down prey, ironically it cannot handle the smell of its own stench, abandoning potential defeated meals as a result.

===Evolution===
Skuntank evolves from {{p|Stunky}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Skuntank is the leader of {{OBP|Team Skull|Mystery Dungeon}}, a band of thieves. When he first appears, he uses his stench to knock out the player. With {{p|Koffing}}, he can perform a noxious gas combo attack, and uses that to knock out the player's team with a horrible stench several times over the course of the game, but this fails against Wigglytuff later on. Toward the end of the game when he steals the Relic Fragment, his team's lives are saved by the player's team and he gives the relic back.

==Trivia==
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s from being traded on the [[GTS]], an English-language Skuntank cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Skuntank is based on a {{wp|hog-nosed skunk}} and a tank. Its appearance and notoriety of being incredibly foul-smelling is a trait also similar to the {{wp|honey badger}}. Its stylized tail bears similarity to a {{wp|Pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}, a hairstyle. It also bears similarities to {{wp|cat}}s. Its [[cry]] references {{wp|flatulence}}, and its face resembles the form of buttocks. Its moves {{m|Self-Destruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}, as well as its [[Ability]] {{a|Aftermath}}, are likely derived from {{wp|gas bomb}}s, flatulence, or skunks releasing all of their spray at once. Its name and ability to learn the move {{m|Flamethrower}} by leveling up, as well as the way it shoots projectiles from the tip of its tail in front of its body, may be derived from {{wp|tank}}s.

====Name origin====
Skuntank and Skutank may be a combination of ''{{wp|skunk}}'', ''stank'' (past tense of ''stink''), and ''{{wp|tank}}''.

'''Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネクロズマ''' ''Necrozma'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Necrozma has the following three [[#Form data|forms]]:
* '''Dusk Mane Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネクロズマ（たそがれのたてがみ）''' ''Necrozma ({{tt|Tasogare no Tategami|Dusk Mane}})''), a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Steel}} fusion with {{p|Solgaleo}} using the [[N-Solarizer]].
* '''Dawn Wings Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ネクロズマ（あかつきのつばさ）''' ''Necrozma ({{tt|Akatsuki no Tsubasa|Dawn Wings}})''), a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} fusion with {{p|Lunala}} using the [[N-Lunarizer]].
* '''Ultra Necrozma''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウルトラネクロズマ''' ''Ultra Necrozma''), a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Dragon}} form obtainable only in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} when either Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma holds the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] and uses [[Ultra Burst]].

Necrozma is the [[game mascot]] of both {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, appearing on their boxarts as Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively. Necrozma, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}} are often collectively referred to as the [[light trio]] by fans. It is associated with the [[guardian deities]]. It is [[Ultra_Beast#Related_Pokémon|related]] to the [[Ultra Beast]]s, but is not usually considered to be one itself in its base form.

==Biology==
[[File:Necrozma 2 SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Necrozma's face is actually its brain prism]]
Necrozma is a vaguely humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body appears to be constructed out of a black crystalline material. Necrozma's body is primarily prismatic and black due to the amount of impurities in its system. The large protrusion attached to its head is its tail, which has a row of three large spikes along the top and is white in the back with a dark gray symbol resembling a eight-pointed star in the center. Its face is actually a prism-like object known as the "brain prism", which possesses a collection of multicolored shapes that resemble eyes. While absorbing light, this brain prism glows white.<ref>[[Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: The Official Alola Region Pokédex & Postgame Adventure Guide]]</ref> Its thin arms have disproportionately large hands with three claws. Jutting out of the back of each hand is a whitish crystal that darkens toward the tip, and each elbow has a hook-like spike. Two large spikes jut from each shoulder and there is a row of smaller spikes along each side of its body. Its feet have three hook-like toes each.

Necrozma originates from [[Ultra Space]] and is capable of opening and traveling through [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. This causes many to believe Necrozma is one of the Ultra Beasts, however, different accounts refer to Necrozma as a "reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts" and "a creature almost like an Ultra Beast". It once had the ability to give light in its original form, but lost this ability along its true form after being heavily injured by the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]'s ancestors in an attempt to steal its light; [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] theorize that the [[Sparkling Stone]]s and the [[Z-Crystal]]s used to perform [[Z-Move]]s are fragments of Necrozma's body that it lost upon being injured and rained down into [[Alola]]. According to the Ultra Recon Squad, the light that radiates from Necrozma is the [[Z-Power|aura]] that surrounds the Trainer and Pokémon while performing a Z-Move and the aura surrounding a [[Totem Pokémon]]. This energy is consumed by Pokémon such as the [[Ultra Beast]]s and radiated by Pokémon such as {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

Necrozma displays extremely violent behavior due to the constant, maddening pain it suffers in its incomplete state. Desperate for the light it requires to sustain itself and regain its original form, Necrozma absorbs light from other beings and places. This behavior caused it to be feared as and known as a "pillager of light" in ancient times. Necrozma has an eternal conflict that cycles with Solgaleo and Lunala for their limitless light energy.<ref>[[Kazumasa Iwao]]: ''"These three are always struggling against one another in [[Ultra Space]]."'' Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex (Pokemon (Prima Official Guide/Official Pokedex Guide))</ref>Necrozma usually absorbs the light energy from either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}, or sometimes both, resulting in the respective Legendary Pokémon chasing after Necrozma to regain its light energy.<ref>[[Kazumasa Iwao]]: ''"Necrozma might steal the light of the others and flee, then Solgaleo and Lunala might give and take back the light back-and on and on it would go."'' Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex (Pokemon (Prima Official Guide/Official Pokedex Guide))</ref>

Its black coloration is a result of impurities building up within it as a result of its deep slumber. Necrozma can {{m|Prismatic Laser|shoot powerful lasers using the power of a prism}}. These lasers are powerful enough to blast through anything it hits.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180911084734/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-3.html | Necrozma] (Archived)</ref> It can also attack its foes with {{m|Photon Geyser|a large pillar of light}}. Using its tail, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light from it. When Necrozma absorbs light from a world, that world becomes shrouded in darkness until the stolen light is returned as seen temporarily in [[Alola]] and in [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. In {{aniseries|SM}}, the [[Aether Foundation]] confused Necrozma for an Ultra Beast and gave it a code name, "UB: Black". As seen in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness]]'', Necrozma is capable of absorbing a world's [[Z-Power|Ultra Aura]], which causes adults to become more tired and lose motivation. Necrozma loves [[Necrozma Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered and roared loudly to intimidate it in the past.

Necrozma is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Prismatic Laser}} and {{m|Photon Geyser}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Prism Armor}} as an Ability.

Necrozma has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma.

Necrozma can take control of {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} by forcefully fusing with them, dominating their bodies and eclipsing their minds to assume its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings forms, respectively. However, Necrozma is also able to coexist with its host willingly, regardless of {{pkmn|fusion}}.<ref>{{mas|Lusamine}}: ''"It doesn't seem like Necrozma or Solgaleo are suffering in their current state. I suppose now that they have the light of our [[sync stone]], they're able to coexist peacefully."''([[Pokémon Masters EX]])</ref><ref>[[Lillie]]''"<player>, I know this may be sudden, but I hope you will consider what I ask of you. I want to entrust [[Nebby]] to you. I think Nebby should be with {{ga|Necrozma}}. From what I've heard, Necrozma would not suffer as much or ache so for the light if it can remain close to Nebby..."''([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref> That can be done naturally by itself or artificially through the use of the [[N-Solarizer]] or [[N-Lunarizer]], respectively. Because Necrozma is forcibly absorbing their limitless light energy, Solgaleo and Lunala constantly glow while fused like in their Radiant Sun and Full Moon Phases. In both cases, the host's body is covered in pieces of Necrozma's body, which are arranged like armor, and Necrozma wields powers that exceed its respective host; it's powerful enough to open multiple Ultra Wormholes at once across a large area. When fused to either Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma becomes uncontrollably vicious and constantly rampages, treating anything it sees as an enemy and brutally attacking them with either its claws or its lasers, which can cut through anything. The main reason is due the respective Legendary Pokémon's limitless energy being much more excessive than what Necrozma needs.<ref>[[Kazumasa Iwao]]: ''"As a result-and even though it really only needed a small amount of energy-Necrozma comes to gain a huge amount of energy, beyond what Necrozma itself anticpated, when it captures Solgaleo or Lunala. And because of excessive amount of energy, Necrozma goes beserk."'' Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex (Pokemon (Prima Official Guide/Official Pokedex Guide))</ref>

;Dusk Mane Necrozma
[[File:Dusk Mane Necrozma USUM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|{{p|Solgaleo}} taken over by Necrozma]]
Dusk Mane Necrozma resembles an armored Solgaleo with Necrozma as body armor. Dusk Mane Necrozma has armor around its paws, head, and sides. Necrozma's tail splits into two and attaches to the sides of Solgaleo's torso and its large claws extend from Solgaleo's back. The front feet have five black claws attached to them with two V-shaped crystals on top of it while the back foot has only three claws. It has a triangular helmet with a long, thin antenna on each side and Necrozma's brain prism is prominently displayed. Solgaleo's own eyes and nose are visible as bright, blue lights. The host's tail gains three black spikes attached to each other, as well as three spikes under the chin. A structure similar to one of Necrozma's legs extends from its back.

As Dusk Mane Necrozma, Necrozma {{pkmn|fusion|takes over}} Solgaleo's body and mind. Dusk Mane Necrozma is said be more powerful than Solgaleo. It can use the six powered-up claws on its four legs and back to pounce on on foes. Dusk Mane Necrozma uses these six claws to deal slicing damage onto the opponent. Using the armor on its chest, it is able to propel itself by shooting black light.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180913011006/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-8.html Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dusk Mane Solgaleo]</ref> It uses Solgaleo's limitless energy to both feed it energy and fuel its endless rampage.

Dusk Mane Necrozma and {{p|Solgaleo}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}.

;Dawn Wings Necrozma
[[File:Dawn Wings Necrozma USUM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|250px|{{p|Lunala}} taken over by Necrozma]]
Dawn Wings Necrozma resembles an armored Lunala with Necrozma as body armor. Dawn Wings Necrozma has armor around its torso, head, and certain parts of its wings and tail. It also has a triangular helmet with the brain prism visible, as well as Lunala's own eyes visible as glowing pink lights. Necrozma's arms extend from the center of its chest. The armor surrounding its body has two large spikes jutting up from around its shoulders and four, glowing pink lights in the center. On its lower back are two thin, antennae-like growths extending downward. A structure similar to Necrozma's tail extends from the center of its back, and like its Dusk Mane form, can be used as a form of propulsion. There are eleven crystalline spikes attached around the body, four each on the wings, and three on Lunala's tail.

Dawn Wings Necrozma is a {{pkmn|fusion}} of Necrozma and Lunala, leaving Lunala with no will of its own. Dawn Wings Necrozma is said to be more powerful than Lunala. These spines are capable of firing dark energy.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190728010514/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-9.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Dawn Wings Lunala]</ref> Dawn Wings Necrozma uses this dark energy to quickly reach and attack enemies in a furious rush. It uses Lunala's limitless energy to both feed it energy and fuel its endless rampage.

Dawn Wings Necrozma and {{p|Lunala}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Moongeist Beam}}. They are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.

;Ultra Necrozma
[[File:Necrozma Photon Geyser Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Ultra Necrozma firing {{m|Photon Geyser|laser beams}} from every part of its body]]
When Necrozma absorbs overwhelming amounts of light energy and [[Z-Power]], it undergoes [[Ultra Burst]], which causes it to split apart and then reform into its true form, Ultra Necrozma. It can achieve this by taking control of a {{p|Solgaleo}} or a {{p|Lunala}} while [[Held item|holding]] an [[Ultranecrozium Z]]. Alternatively, as seen in the {{Aniseries|Sun and Moon}} episode ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', it can transform into Ultra Necrozma by absorbing Z-Power directly from [[Z-Move]]s used against it, or, as seen in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] episode ''[[PASM35|Transcend!! Ultra Necrozma!]]'' by directly absorbing the Ultranecrozium Z.

Ultra Necrozma is a colossal dragon Pokémon, composed mostly of pure light energy that it had stored from a great energy source before its transformation. This body of light is supported by a sort of skeleton made from the various pieces of Necrozma's crystalline body; these pieces take on a golden glow from the light, but they return to black without it. Its sheer size makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] known {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Its head is surrounded by several spikes and a pair of small wings, which causes it to resemble an eight-pointed star; there is also a small, lighter eight-pointed star on the back of its head. Its face is armored and has multicolored {{wp|Heterochromia iridum|heterochromic}} eyes; the left eye is primarily red, while the right is mainly blue. The patterns around its eyes resemble the Ultranecrozium Z. It has two pairs of wings: one around its shoulders and one around its hips. While the wings themselves are made of light, the arm portions are made of its former legs and shoulders, respectively. Its former arms now cover its lower legs, and what was once its tail covers its chest. Finally, it has a long tail with a row of spikes along the top.

Necrozma is at its full power in this form, radiating energy that has all sorts of effects on living beings and even nature itself. Its body temperature exceeds 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,540 degrees Celsius); anything that it touches will melt from the extreme heat. It can fire laser beams from every part of its body, and these lasers can reach over 18 miles away, burning through everything in their path.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191127065207/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-17.html Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon site | Ultra Necrozma]</ref> While swinging its four wings around, Ultra Necrozma uses its superheated claws to tear its opponents to shreds. In this form, it is known as the "blinding one" due to its brilliant appearance. As seen in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', when Ultra Necrozma uses up all its light, it reverts to its lightless form and enters into a deep slumber unless it absorbs more light.

Ultra Necrozma is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neuroforce}} as an [[Ability]].

====Form change====
When Necrozma is fused, it tries to learn a new move in the same way that other Pokémon may learn new moves upon evolving. If Necrozma changes to its normal form, it immediately forgets the special move of the form it was in (if it still knows it); if the only move that Necrozma knows is the form's special move, then that move will be replaced with {{m|Confusion}}.

===Form data===
Necrozma has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. All three of these forms were introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

Dusk Mane Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Solgaleo}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Solarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, and can hold [[Solganium Z]] to access Solgaleo's exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Necrozma and Solgaleo's cries.

Dawn Wings Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Lunala}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Lunarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, and can hold [[Lunalium Z]] to access Lunala's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Lunala's cries.

If Necrozma separates from Solgaleo or Lunala while it knows the borrowed move (Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam), that move will be forgotten. If the borrowed move was its only [[move]], Necrozma will learn {{m|Confusion}}.

Due to the mechanics of the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, each player can have a maximum of one Dusk Mane Necrozma and one Dawn Wings Necrozma at a time per game (though having both at the same time requires [[Trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]ring for a second Necrozma). If it is fused with Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma cannot be traded, [[release]]d, or deposited into {{g|Bank}} or {{g|HOME}}.

Ultra Necrozma is a third form Necrozma can attain if it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form while holding its exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Ultranecrozium Z]], at which point the player can use the [[Ultra Burst]] command from the move menu to transform it into Ultra Necrozma. Once transformed, Ultra Necrozma can also use the Ultranecrozium Z on a subsequent turn to upgrade {{m|Photon Geyser}} into its exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}. Ultra Necrozma will revert to its previous form when it [[Fainting|faints]] or when the battle ends. Ultra Burst can only be used once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma or revives a fainted Necrozma. Ultra Necrozma is only obtainable in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Necrozma anime.png|thumb|250px|Necrozma in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
====Major appearances====
====={{an|Necrozma|Necrozma (anime)}}=====
Necrozma physically debuted in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]''. It was an antagonist in an arc of {{aniseries|SM}} involving {{AP|Poipole}}'s [[Poipole's world|homeworld]] until ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where it was restored back to [[#Form data|Ultra Necrozma]] when given [[Z-Power|Ultra Aura]] by the people of Alola. Its Ultra Beast codename, '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black''), has only been given in the animated series.

====Minor appearances====
[[#Form data|Ultra Necrozma]] appeared in ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', during a fantasy. [[Acerola]] showed {{Ash}} a book containing a legend detailing the origins of [[Alola]], in which Ultra Necrozma, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and {{p|Lunala}} first brought light to the [[region]]. The ancient people dubbed Necrozma, who shined the brightest out of all three, the "Blinding One". {{TRT}} also heard the story and contacted {{an|Giovanni}} about it, only to find out from [[Matori]] that he already knew of Necrozma and ended the transmission, much to their surprise.

==In the manga==
[[File:Necrozma Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Necrozma in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Necrozma (Adventures)}}
Necrozma first appeared in ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]] at the [[Poni Altar]] and possessing {{p|Solgaleo}} to become its Dusk Mane form. Dusk Mane Necrozma then grabbed {{adv|Sun}} and dragged him into the wormhole with it, forcing {{adv|Moon}} and [[Nebby|Lunala]] to chase after them. It later reappeared in [[Ultra Megalopolis]], whose citizens worship it as "the Blinding One."

[[Lusamine]], seeking to {{pkmn2|Caught|capture}} Necrozma, followed it to Ultra Megalopolis, but was sucked back into Alola through an [[Ultra Wormhole]] before she could do so. On [[Mount Lanakila]], Necrozma changed into its Ultra form and fought against {{adv|Zygarde}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, and [[Nebby|Lunala]] before being defeated by them and subsequently caught by [[Zossie]].

==Other Appearances==

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

==Trivia==
* Necrozma has many differences from the other members of [[Light trio|its trio]]. It is the only member:
** To have its own exclusive [[Z-Move]] and [[Z-Crystal]] (Solgaleo and Lunala share theirs with [[#Form data|Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings]] Necrozma, respectively).
** Without a pre-evolved form.
** To have more than one signature [[Ability]], as it has two.
** With multiple [[signature move]]s.
** With a [[base stat]] that is not a {{wp|prime number}} (Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma's {{stat|Speed}} stats).
* Necrozma's base form shares its battle theme with {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} and {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Necrozma has a catch rate of 255.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Necrozma has a base [[experience]] yield of 120.
* Dawn Wings Necrozma is tied with {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Dawn Wings Necrozma is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|blue}} {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Ultra Necrozma is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 754 and the only {{type|Psychic}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings}}.
* Necrozma has the [[List of Pokémon by shape|most shapes]] of all Pokémon with a total of four between its different forms.
* Necrozma's status as an [[Ultra Beast]] differs between media.
** In the [[core series]] games, Necrozma is not an Ultra Beast. [[Beast Ball]]s are ineffective against it and regular Poké Balls are normally effective against it. Additionally, Necrozma's Pokémon Sun [[Pokédex]] entry and [[Dulse]] clarify that it is similar to the Ultra Beasts, but not one of them.
*** In {{g|HOME}}, Necrozma is not registered as a species of Ultra Beast.
** In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, it, alongside the other members of the [[light trio]] and their pre-evolved forms, are referred to as Ultra Beasts before their true identities are discovered. Necrozma is given the codename of '''UB Black''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ:ＢＬＡＣＫ|ユービー：ブラック}}''' ''UB: Black'').
** In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Necrozma is considered an Ultra Beast, with Beast Balls being used to attempt and eventually succeed in catching it.
** In the TCG, Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra Necrozma are classified as {{TCG|Ultra Beast}}s, while its base form is not.
*** [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket|TCG Pocket]] follows the same convention for its iteration of [[Ultra Beast (TCG Pocket)|Ultra Beasts]].
** In [[Pokémon Duel]], all forms of Necrozma are considered Ultra Beasts.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], Necrozma is not classified as an Ultra Beast. However, because it appears in Ultra Wormhole {{GO|Raid Battle}}s, Beast Balls have an increased catch rate just as they do for Ultra Beasts.
* Necrozma has access to the most exclusive [[Z-Crystal]]s, with a total of three.
* Necrozma's [[effort value]]s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 Attack and 2 Special Attack is unique.
* Of the Pokémon capable of fusion with another Pokémon, Necrozma is the only one:
** That does not have equal base Attack and Special Attack stats.
** That has an additional transformation.
** For which the player can legitimately have both fused forms on a single save file due to the fact that each of Necrozma's fusions utilize their own [[Key Item]].
* Necrozma is the first Pokémon to serve as the main antagonist of a core series game.
* Dusk Mane Necrozma is the only {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to not be able to learn {{m|Steel Beam}}.

===Origin===
Necrozma could be based on the concept of {{wp|prism}}s and {{wp|light refraction}}. This may tie to {{g|Sun and Moon}} being codenamed "ニジ" (Rainbow), as well as {{wp|Hawaii}}, the location [[Alola]] was inspired by, being referred to as the "rainbow state". Its design may also incorporate similarities, both literal and symbolic, to {{wp|black dwarf}}s, {{wp|black hole}}s, or {{wp|neutron star}}s, which may be represented by the star symbol on the back of its head. Necrozma's concept and design may be inspired by multiple depictions of aliens across various forms of media. This is indicated by its unusually proportioned limbs, large head, and {{t|Psychic}} [[type]], which is often associated with intelligence, for aliens are often depicted to have more intellect than humans in science fiction. It also remotely resembles a dragon's skeleton, which could correlate to its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}} mentioning that it has spent a long time "slumbering underground."

Necrozma's Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings forms may be based on the concept of {{wp|Solar eclipse|solar}} and {{wp|lunar eclipse}}s, respectively. The forms' alternate names in Japanese, 日食 ''nisshoku'' (solar eclipse) and 月食 ''gesshoku'' (lunar eclipse) can also be literally translated as "eating the sun/moon", reflecting how Necrozma absorbs Solgaleo or Lunala to assume those forms. Its Ultra Necrozma form may be based on {{wp|giant star}}s or {{wp|supernova}}e. Design-wise, Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma retain Solgaleo's {{wp|lion}} and Lunala's {{wp|bat}} bases, respectively, while Ultra Necrozma resembles a four-winged {{wp|wyvern}}. The fact that Necrozma transforms into a {{type|Dragon}} could be based on legends about the {{wp|Moʻo}}.

Another possible inspiration for Ultra Necrozma are the {{wp|quasars}}. Originating from the feeding process of a supermassive black hole, quasars are the most luminous objects known in the universe. They consist of a black hole surrounded by an accretion disk made of superheated gas spiraling around it.

Ultra Necrozma's dragon motif might have been inspired by the {{wp|ouroboros}} — a common symbol in alchemy, typically depicted as a dragon (often a wyvern <ref>[[wp:File:Ouroboros 1.jpg]]</ref>) biting its own tail, symbolizing cyclical renewal and rebirth. This aligns with Necrozma’s standard form, which is thematically associated with death. In alchemy, there are depictions of dragons alongside the sun and moon as an allegory of "philosophical quicksilver" <ref>[https://www.blackdrago.com/topics/alchemy.htm]</ref> — a hypothetical substance believed to be essential for uniting opposing principles (symbolized by the sun and moon) in the creation of the philosopher's stone. <ref>[https://archive.org/details/alchemy-and-mysticism/page/n57/mode/2up]</ref>

Necrozma's original form resembling an angelic being of light may be based on the concept of a {{wp|fallen angel}}. Specifically, it may draw inspiration from {{wp|Lucifer}}, who is viewed as a bringer of light and associated with {{wp|Venus}}, the third brightest natural object in the sky behind only the Sun and the Moon, which are represented by the other 2 members of the light trio, it may also be based on the poison dripping dragon. <ref>[https://electromagneticfrontier.blogspot.com/2009/08/aurelia-occulta.html]</ref>

====Name origin====
Necrozma may be a combination of νεκρός ''nekrós'' (Ancient Greek for dead), 黒 ''kuro'' (black), and πρῖσμα ''prîsma'' (Ancient Greek for prism) or ''plasma'' (state of matter most commonly found in stars). The letter Z might have been used to symbolize the idea of "end", as it is the final letter of the Latin alphabet. It may also involve ''{{wp|Project Ozma}}'', an experiment made to search for extraterrestrial life.

Remake

2025-09-19T03:02:43Z

Gust4vo: /* Trivia */

[[File:Brendan May ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}} in the {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|trailer}} of the {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} remakes]]
A '''video game remake''' is a game that is made again. These generally have updated graphics, music, sound effects, and gameplay.

In Pokémon, five pairs of [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} and one spin-off game are remakes:

* '''{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}''' (2004), [[Generation III]] remakes of the [[Generation I]] games {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1996);
* '''{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}''' (2009), [[Generation IV]] remakes of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (1999);
* '''{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''' (2014), [[Generation VI]] remakes of the [[Generation III]] games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} (2002);
* '''{{LGPE}}''' (2018), [[Generation VII]] remakes of the Generation I game {{game3|Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition}} (1998).
* '''{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}''' (2020), a [[Generation VIII]] remake of the Generation III games {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} (2005).
* '''{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}''' (2021), [[Generation VIII]] remakes of the Generation IV games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (2006).

==Terminology==
===Remake game titles===
The names of remakes of [[core series]] games are generally derived from the names of the original source games, with a modifier word attached to the front. For instance {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are remakes of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

In the case of the first core series game remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their titles are derived from the Japan-only pair of games {{game|Red and Green|s}} (which had been adapted in English as {{game|Red and Blue|s}}).

The exception to this is {{LGPE}}, which are a pair of games based on a single {{DL|Core series|release model|upper version}} game, so only the title of one of them (Let's Go, Pikachu!) is derived from the original game's Japanese title, since {{game|Yellow}} is known as "Pokémon Pikachu" in Japan.

In the case of FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the original titles and the preceding words are joined without a space. In the case of Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, those words are separated by a space. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the only core series games titles with multiple preceding words (Let's Go,) added to each game title.

In the case of Rescue Team DX, as a single game based on a pair of games, the colored signifier was cut; DX was added to signify the game's new status as a remake.

==Changes==
In addition to graphical updates, remakes introduce new features. The script is retranslated for localizations. The remakes in the first six [[generation]]s also include all Pokémon and [[move]]s in the generation they are remade in.

===Core series===
====FireRed and LeafGreen====

* The [[Sevii Islands]] expand the main story and allow the player to obtain Pokémon native to [[Johto]].

====HeartGold and SoulSilver====

====Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
* [[Walking Pokémon]] once again return, for the first time since Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* A new Pokémon catching mechanic, similar to that used in {{g|GO}}, replaces [[wild Pokémon]] battles.

* Pokémon can now be sent to [[Professor Oak]] in exchange for {{Candies}}, in the same vein as Pokémon GO, with received Candies being kept in the Candy Jar in the player's bag.
* The {{Berries}} from Pokémon GO have been added, with some of their effects being altered.

====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====

* [[Exp. Share]] is no longer an item, and its mechanics are present from the start of the game and cannot be turned off, much like in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[Pokémon Box Link]] carries over from Sword and Shield, with the ability to access the PC at almost any time.
* [[Pal Park]] is replaced with [[Ramanas Park]], a new location where the player can use {{cat|Slates}} to encounter [[Legendary Pokémon]] not native to Sinnoh.

===Spin-off series===
====Rescue Team DX====
{{main|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX#Features}}
* The [[physical move|physical]]/[[special move|special]] split, {{t|Fairy}} type, foreign Pokémon [[Evolution]]s (such as {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Mantyke}}), [[Mega Evolution]], and [[Primal Reversion]] are all carried over from [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VI}}.
* All [[Evolution item]]s have been replaced by the Evolution Crystal.
* Many minor changes to various dungeons, such as [[Oddity Cave]] becoming accessible after completing [[Mt. Steel]], the [[Friend Bow]] moving to the end of [[Solar Cave]], and {{p|Mewtwo}}'s dungeon—[[Western Cave]]—being reduced from 99 floors to 20.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]]—excluding Shiny {{p|Celebi}}—appear as "Strong Foes" in completed dungeons.
* The maximum team size has been increased from 4 to 8, but as in the original games, only 3 Pokémon may be brought into a dungeon. The other 5 team members must be [[Recruitment|recruited]] after entering.
* [[Rare quality|Rare qualities]] replace the [[IQ]] system, and [[Gummi]]s have been lowered to only two varieties.
** Rainbow Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will sometimes give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
** DX Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will always give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
* {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Lucario}} originally appeared as cameos, but can now be recruited through the use of Mystery Houses—rare rooms found in post-game dungeons, accessible with an Invitation.

==Impact on other media==
===Animation===
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Steven Stone in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series''====
Due to the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in {{aniseries|Ruby and Sapphire}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled back to [[Kanto]] to compete in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} (also a reference to {{game|Emerald}}) and Kanto [[Pokémon Contest]]s. However, its influence can be seen as early as ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'', where {{an|Professor Oak}} visits from Kanto and brings {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

Due to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, several references to those games appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, such as the [[Pokéathlon]] in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', the [[Johto Festival]] introducing several in-game [[Key Item]]s, Ash's main rival being [[Paul]] who resembles {{ga|Silver}} in many ways, {{an|Lyra}} temporarily journeying with the gang and her attempt in participating in the Johto League, about half of the Johto Gym Leaders reappearing with their redesigns, and several main characters obtaining Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] like [[Dawn's Quilava]] or with a [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolution line]] like [[Ash's Gliscor]] he caught as a {{p|Gligar}}.

With the debut of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, several references appeared during {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Sawyer]], originally from the [[Hoenn]] region, was introduced as Ash's new rival and is first shown to have a {{TP|Sawyer|Treecko}} and a {{DL|Sawyer|Salamence|Bagon}}. A [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} and its [[Audinite|respective]] [[Mega Stone]] also made an appearance in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of [[Nurse Joy]].

Many [[Mega Evolution#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly introduced Mega Evolutions]] were seen in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]''. [[Steven Stone]], in his new design, and his {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} also made an appearance along with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in the aforementioned special. Both Pokémon reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' with the inclusion of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}. [[Rustboro City]] made a reappearance in the aforementioned special but was first mentioned in the former. Ahead of the games' release, Mega {{p|Diancie}} debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also made an appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' with Mega {{p|Latios}}, Mega {{p|Latias}} and a Shiny Mega Rayquaza. Also, a Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Beedrill}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} made an appearance in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'' and in person in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. Steven helped Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]] and the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s defeat Team Flare's [[Giant Rock]], first appeared in ''Mega Evolution Special II'' as a huge stone that contains huge amounts of Primal energy. At the end of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', {{an|Serena}} decided to travel to Hoenn and compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s to improve her skills.

Several references to {{LGPE}} appeared in {{aniseries|SM}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', before the games' release, several of the Pikachu that appeared within the [[Pikachu Valley]] sported hairstyles similar to the ones players could give their [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}}. From ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'' to ''[[SM098|Bright Lights, Big Changes!]]'', a series of shorts called [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] aired, which focused on [[Sandy|a wild Eevee]] and its journey, before finally meeting Ash and his friends. In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', which was broadcast after the games release, the wild Eevee was captured by {{an|Lana}}, who [[nickname]]d it "Sandy". Furthermore, she cut its unruly hair into one of the styles used on the partner Pokémon in the game. A group of {{p|Meltan}}, a Pokémon species introduced in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, debuted in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', with [[Ash's Meltan|one of them]] getting caught by Ash in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]''.

References to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} have appeared in {{aniseries|JN}}. In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the Sinnoh region, and {{an|Dawn}} reappeared, with Goh and Chloe meeting her for the first time. During these episodes, they intervened in Team Rocket's attempts to capture {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}. In ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', Ash had a rematch with [[Volkner]] in the [[World Coronation Series]], with the episode later revealing that Sinnoh Champion {{an|Cynthia}} is a member of the Master Class. Cynthia herself appeared in ''[[JN083|Star Night, Star Flight!]]'', intervening in a mysterious situation involving {{p|Unown}}. In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Ash, Goh, and Chloe visited Sinnoh and met up with Dawn and Cynthia once more, and were forced to solve an interdimensional crisis involving {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. While ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'' is a tie-in with {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it also features the return of [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}s [[Saturn]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]], as well as a reappearance of {{an|Brock}} and the two Pokémon he caught in Sinnoh, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and the newly evolved {{TP|Brock|Blissey}}.

===Manga===
Generally, only long-running [[Pokémon manga]] series are affected by remakes, considering most series begin and end within the time frame of one generation.

====Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon====
A manga titled [[Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon]] was created at the time of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s Japanese release. It features the [[Pokéathlon]], a new feature added to the remake games.

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
A single-volume manga, [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], was released concurrently with the games {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which it takes its name from. It features the adventures of a Trainer named [[Jō]] in his travels through the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions, following the storyline of the games.

====Pokémon Adventures====
[[File:FRLG chapter.png|thumb|250px|{{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} return the focus of the story back toward characters introduced in older chapters (the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}/{{MangaArc|Yellow}}, {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, and {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}/{{MangaArc|Emerald}}, respectively). However, instead of focusing on the whole region like the originals, the main plot of the remake chapters generally focuses on events and places which were new to the enhanced remakes of their game counterparts. ''FireRed & LeafGreen'' focuses on the Sevii Islands, ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' focuses on the Pokéathlon, the new [[Johto Safari Zone]], and the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], and ''Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire'' focuses on the events of the [[Delta Episode]].

====Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪====
In the [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]] manga, there are several bonus chapters focusing on characters from [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. As a Generation III sequel of the Magical Pokémon Journey series, this manga was being speculated by fans as a first hint for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (later was named as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}).

====Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire====
In the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, which is based on the [[Generation III]] games of the same name, some of the chapters in {{Vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|3}} revolve around Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. This includes a character named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}}, who is designed based on {{ga|Red}}'s appearance in the remakes; and a character named {{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}}, who is based on {{ga|Green}}'s appearance.

Following the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire series, the manga began a trend of rebooting its numbering and naming system with the release of each [[core series]] game. After the end of [[Generation III]] and the Ruby-Sapphire series, the manga's story continued with {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}, which led the main characters to [[Sinnoh]]. When the Generation II remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} were released, the series once again rebooted with {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}, which led the main characters back to [[Johto]]; which they had previously visited during the original [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] series.

====Pokémon 4Koma Encyclopedia====
The {{OBP|Pokémon 4Koma Encyclopedia|Generation III}} manga was released around the time of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It is five volumes in total and has comics featuring each Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] up to the end of [[Generation III]]. The volumes feature artwork of {{ga|Red}} as he appears in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===TCG===
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion was inspired by and released concurrently with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} video games.

Likewise, the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, {{TCG|Unleashed}}, {{TCG|Undaunted}} and {{TCG|Triumphant}} expansions correspond with the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} video games.

{{TCG|Primal Clash}} was the primary expansion that corresponds with the {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} video games. {{TCG|Roaring Skies}}, {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}, {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, and {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} featured [[Mega Evolution]]s introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and also introduced {{p|Hoopa}}.

The {{TCG|Team Up}} and {{TCG|Unbroken Bonds}} expansions correspond with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], primarily featuring Generation I Pokémon.

One of the {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}}, {{OBP|Rescue Team DX's Pikachu|S-P Promo 36|Rescue Team DX's Pikachu}}, was released as part of a purchase campaign to Japanese customers who bought {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}} and Pokémon Card game products at participating Geo stores.

==Trivia==
* Some remakes have several unique distinctions:
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are the only remakes:
*** To originally be released for a [[Game Boy Advance|platform]] that could also play their original games via backwards compatibility.
**** However, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] can play {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} via backwards compatibility as well as {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} as [[Virtual Console]] titles. Also, the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo Switch 2]] can play [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] natively and via backwards compatibility respectively as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team]] via the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service.
*** Not to incorporate any features from the upper version of the original games. However, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] were remakes of the upper version itself, while [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] did not have an upper version.
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only remakes which did not include a [[type]] that did not exist in the original games. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen included the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types, which did not exist in [[Generation I]]; and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} included the {{t|Fairy}} type, which did not exist in Generations I, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}.
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are the only remakes:
*** To introduce new Pokémon.
*** To be based on an upper version.
** [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] is the only remake:
*** Of [[Spin-off Pokémon games]].
*** To not be a paired release.
*** Of games that do not have nor are upper versions.
** {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only core series remakes to not be developed by Game Freak and the first core series games overall to not be developed by Game Freak.
* Each set of main series remakes uses unique Pokémon artwork on the boxart. This artwork differs from the official standard Pokémon concept artwork that is usually released with the games. Rescue Team DX, meanwhile, uses an updated version of the artwork used for the original titles.
* Several [[generation]]s that received remakes have several unique distinctions:
** [[Generation I]] is the only generation to have multiple remakes of its core series games.
** [[Generation III]] is the only generation to have a remake of one of its spin-off titles.
** [[Generation V]] is the only completed generation since [[Generation III]] to not have introduced any remakes.
** [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation to:
*** Feature more than one remake, namely Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Coincidentally, neither remake was developed by Game Freak.
*** Feature a remake of a spin-off game, namely Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.
* While {{game|Yellow}} is the only {{DL|Core series|release model|upper version}} to be remade, several features introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|Emerald}}, and {{game|Platinum}} were incorporated into the remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, respectively. Conversely, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] do not have an upper version for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] to incorporate features from.
* The accessories included with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver serve as precursors to a feature found in their respective following generations. The [[Generation IV]] games used the [[Nintendo DS]]'s wireless play for communication, while [[Generation V]]'s {{pkmn|Dream World}} was somewhat similar to the concept of the [[Pokéwalker]].

'''Colress''' (Japanese: '''アクロマ''' ''Achroma'') is a Pokémon researcher and the second boss of [[Team Plasma]], appointed by [[Ghetsis]]. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon. He mostly [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series games==
In {{B2W2}}, Colress is first encountered in [[Castelia Sewers]]. He is met again at [[Castelia City]], where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old [[Team Plasma]]'s goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on {{rt|4|Unova}}, where several {{p|Crustle}} block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on {{rt|22|Unova}}. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma, as well as handing the player a [[Colress Machine]] required to get past the Crustle blocking the way inside [[Seaside Cave]].

Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the [[Plasma Frigate]] while at the [[Giant Chasm]], Colress is met at the helm of the ship, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to [[Ghetsis]]'s room, wanting to see if the player can stop him. In Ghetsis's room, it is revealed that he had made Colress the new Boss of Team Plasma.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Colress continues to dwell in the Plasma Frigate as it permanently docks at the [[P2 Laboratory]]; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress initially remains at the helm, where he can be battled again, giving the player a [[Master Ball]] once defeated. He will then move to the bow of the ship, where he will battle the player once per day.

While he does not appear in [[Pokémon X and Y]], Colress is [[List of cross-generational references|mentioned]] by a {{tc|Backpacker}} found on {{rt|10|Kalos}}, who says, "A few years back, this really strange dude named Colress told me that these big stones emit some kind of special energy."

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Colress appears on {{rt|8|Alola}} and gives the player {{TM|43|Flame Charge}}. After the player becomes the first [[Alola]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, Colress will reappear on the same route and give the player the {{p|Genesect}} [[Drive]]s. He also participates as a Trainer in the [[Battle Tree]].

When he is first met, he tells the player that he is still conducting his research into the true power of Pokémon, but following the events of Black 2 and White 2, he now believes that the source of a Pokémon's true power is its bond with its Trainer. He is in Alola researching the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}}/[[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}, wondering if it can draw out the power of Pokémon more effectively than the [[Mega Ring]]. He also expresses interest in the [[Poké Pelago]].

In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Colress's role is slightly expanded. The player can now first find him in his hotel room at [[Tide Song Hotel]] in [[Heahea City]] before he is officially introduced. However, he's only talking to himself, reminiscing about his meeting with the Black 2 and White 2 player character, and doesn't seem to notice the player. During the encounter on Route 8, he is revealed to be one of the people the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] reached out to for help with {{p|Necrozma}}. In response, Colress created the [[N-Solarizer]] and [[N-Lunarizer]], based on his {{p|Kyurem|prior experience}} with [[Pokémon fusion]]. He gives the player both devices after witnessing them {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Necrozma on [[Mount Lanakila]]. During the games' [[Game credits|end credits]], he is seen visiting [[Aether Paradise]].

Colress also has a role in the battle against [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in [[Episode RR]]. While the player and [[Lillie]] work to defeat the bosses of Team Rainbow Rocket, [[Wicke]] contacts Colress to enlist his aid. He follows the player and Lillie using an invisibility device he invented, and returns the bosses to their {{pkmn|multiverse|original worlds}} as they are defeated. Though [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] are seen being warped away, Colress does not reveal himself until the player defeats Ghetsis, who subsequently takes Lillie as a hostage. Recognizing that this Ghetsis is not the one he knows, he declares that he opposes this Ghetsis's goals simply because he hates Ghetsis in all cases, then dispatches him back to his own world with a prototype device known as the '''Colress Machine No. 1102''' (Japanese: '''アクロママシーン　１１０２{{tt|号|ごう}}''' ''{{tt|Achroma|Colress}} Machine No. 1102''). Colress allows the player and Lillie to move on and battle [[Giovanni]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] while he works to untangle the [[dimension]]s coming together to create [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. By the time the player defeats Giovanni, Colress manages to revert the castle back to being Lusamine's mansion.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Colress anime.png|thumb|250px|Colress in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''====
Colress debuted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', where he was conducting experiments with [[wild Pokémon]] in an attempt to bring out their true strength. From his base in an abandoned observatory outside of [[Floccesy Town]], he used a large machine to generate electromagnetic waves that resonated with small devices on the wild Pokémon's foreheads, increasing their aggression and attack power while also rendering them subservient to Team Plasma's commands. Unfortunately for the villains, the mind-control device's EM waves also leaked into the surrounding wilderness, driving the local Pokémon to attack Floccesy Town and revealing their presence in the area. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Looker]] arrived in the observatory, Colress released his mind-controlled Pokémon on them to test their strength.

Impressed by their Pokémon's ability to match his brainwashed Pokémon, he planted one of his controlling devices on {{AP|Pikachu}}, forcing him to fight his Trainer. However, Ash's encouragement allowed Pikachu to fight against the EM waves, eventually causing the device to break and freeing Pikachu, much to Colress's amazement. Before he could gather further data, {{TRT}} showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their {{motto}} and making an escape with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. With the mind-controlled Pokémon freed, Colress and the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s he had with him retreated, destroying the observatory with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.[[File:Colress mind control machine.png|thumb|272x272px|left|Colress operating his mind-control machine]]In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', it was revealed that he had upgraded his Pokémon-controlling machine with his remaining research data. Instead of emitting radio waves to activate separate receivers on its targets, the machine now fired a narrow energy beam which instantly brought any Pokémon it hit under Team Plasma's control. Using this machine, Colress took control of a {{p|Haxorus}}, which he sent rampaging in a city. When Ash and his friends arrived and sent their Pokémon to stop Haxorus, Colress used his machine to take control of [[Iris's Dragonite]], giving the heroes a lot more trouble to deal with. Suddenly Team Rocket appeared, attempting to steal Colress's machine. A battle between [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} and [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} then took place, during which one of Liepard's {{m|Shadow Ball}}s accidentally hit the machine, breaking it and freeing Haxorus and Dragonite from his control. Realizing that they were at a disadvantage, Colress and the Plasma Grunts retreated.

Colress briefly appeared in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]'' with Aldith, discussing Team Plasma's plans with [[Ghetsis]] on a videophone call.

In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', {{TRT}} invaded his newest laboratory and drew his security – consisting of Aldith, [[Barret]] and some other Plasma Grunts – into a trap in the woods. Once Colress was alone, Meowth approached him and attempted to convince him to join Team Rocket. Colress refused, but offered to allow Meowth to participate in an experiment to increase his strength. Meowth agreed, having undergone training to resist the mind control device. However, Colress still managed to take control of Meowth, and ordered him to attack Jessie and James. Using {{TP|Jessie|Frillish}} and {{TP|James|Amoonguss}}, they managed to snap him out of it before escaping. Later, Colress was seen with his Grunts reporting to Ghetsis, who revealed information about the Light Stone to them.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', Colress appeared with the rest of Team Plasma to commence their operation at the {{an|White Ruins}}. While Aldith, Barret and many other Grunts ambushed the workers at the site, Colress used his perfected machine to seize control of the [[Cedric Juniper's assistants|workers' Pokémon]] and turn them on their Trainers. In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', he also took control of Pikachu again, forcing N to surrender the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Ash's safety.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', aiding Ghetsis in taking control of the awakened {{p|Reshiram}}. When Ash and Pikachu tried to stop him, he used his machine on Pikachu yet again. However, this time Pikachu was able to fight against its control, and – together with Reshiram – destroyed Colress's machine once and for all, thus freeing the controlled Pokémon. Later Colress and the other Team Plasma members were arrested by Looker, thus bringing the team down. As [[Officer Jenny]] took Team Plasma into custody, Colress eagerly exclaimed his next invention will be a device that allows Pokémon to communicate with people. This makes it apparent he was not concerned about Team Plasma's defeat.

====Character====
Colress is seemingly polite, but he is emotionally distant. Despite openly aiding [[Team Plasma]] and refusing an offer to leave them for [[Team Rocket]], he wasn't interested in the team's goals. Rather, he was more enthusiastic about the limitless inventions he could create and test to manipulate Pokémon. He wants to "bring out a Pokémon's true power", which he believes is anger.

====Pokémon====
=====Controlled=====
While Colress has not been shown to own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}, his mind-control device allowed him to temporarily command the following Pokémon:

After it recovered, it was forced to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Iris's Axew]]. It was eventually released from Colress's control when Team Rocket stole his data and deactivated the machine.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Colress tested out the upgraded version of his mind-control machine on another Scolipede. After the Scolipede fired off an attack, Colress turned his machine off, reverting the Scolipede back to its normal state.

Deciding to use the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} for his tests, he attached a receiver to Pikachu and turned his EM wave generator to maximum output. Although Pikachu was forced to attack his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Ash was able to encourage him to fight against the machine. After a struggle, he managed to destroy the receiver on his head, freeing himself from Colress's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Colress used his perfected mind-control device to take control of Pikachu again. This time, Ash's pleas did not get through to him, and Colress forced the Mouse Pokémon to viciously attack his Trainer. Colress ultimately freed him from control once N traded the Light Stone for Ash's safety.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', during the final battle against Team Plasma, Colress took control of Pikachu for the third time. This time, however, Pikachu was able to fight against the force that controlled him, even disobeying his orders and attacking {{p|Reshiram}}, which was also under Colress's control. Even though Colress fired his device on Pikachu again, he was able to keep fighting, and, together with the similarly-rebelling Reshiram, destroyed the control machine, freeing the controlled Pokémon once and for all.}}

In ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]'', Colress was conducting an experiment on the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Kyurem}} aboard the [[Plasma Frigate]]. He managed to draw out Kyurem's strength to power up a cannon, which allowed [[Team Plasma]] to freeze [[Opelucid City]] completely. This was part of an operation to get the [[DNA Splicers]] from [[Drayden]], which also involved former [[Seven Sages|Sage]] [[Zinzolin]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Colress Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Colress in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Hood Man.png|thumb|left|170px|Colress as the Hood Man]]
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}=====
Colress debuted in ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'', where he participated as a competitor in the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Disguised as the cloak-bearing '''Hood Man''' (Japanese: '''フードマン''' ''Hood Man''), he managed to sneak in without having earned any of the eight Unova Gym Badges. After battling his way through Victory Road, he eventually made it into the top 8.

In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', Colress faced [[Marlon]]. Although Marlon managed to disable the moves of Colress' {{p|Beheeyem}}, Colress came out on top and advanced to the next round. After leaving, he noted that participating in the League and observing powerful Trainers would help him in his research. In ''[[PS517|Something Suspicious]]'', Colress faced {{adv|Cheren}} in the semifinals. Although Cheren initially struggled due to his {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}'s lack of strength, he switched it out for his {{p|Unfezant}} and quickly defeated Colress's Beheeyem with a {{m|U-turn}}.

In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Colress and [[Zinzolin]] watched {{adv|Black}} and Cheren face each other in the finals. During the match, they talked about Zinzolin's theory that a cold heart was the best way to bring out a Pokémon's true strength. Although Zinzolin stated that his theory was correct, Colress noted that - in his battles - he was able to see varying styles from many strong Trainers that brought out their Pokémon's strength. When {{adv|White}} discovered that the two were affiliated with [[Team Plasma]], she attempted to expose them to everyone at the League. Although she was successful, Colress had his Beheeyem use {{m|Teleport}} to transport her to {{adv|N}}'s room inside his castle.

In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma attacked the League, summoning [[N's Castle]] from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Colress assisted in the invasion by using {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} to battle the [[Elite Four]]. His true intention was to discover the secret of how to transform the three into their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Formes}}. After discovering that he needed a special mirror, Colress bid farewell to the Elite Four and escaped.

In ''[[PS524|A Difficult Parting]]'', Colress used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to help [[Ghetsis]] escape after he was defeated by Black. With Beheeyem's power, Ghetsis caused Black to be sealed into the [[Light Stone]] before making his escape. Afterward, Ghetsis thanked Colress for his assistance with Team Plasma's plans and expressed interest in working with him again. Colress agreed, but on the condition that it didn't impede with his research.

====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Eventually, Colress was made the new leader of Team Plasma in N's absence. In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} as a test-run of his [[Colress Machine]]. He was confronted by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}} of the [[International Police]]. After realizing that it was still wild, Blake used his {{TP|Blake|Dewott|Dewott}} to whittle down {{p|Genesect}}'s health enough for him to capture it. Defeated, Colress commended Blake's strength and left, revealing that he was made the new leader of Team Plasma and that Ghetsis was planning a comeback. Later, Colress met with Ghetsis on the [[Plasma Frigate]] and stated that they needed to find Zinzolin, who had been ignoring their calls.

In ''[[PS535|Angry Boy]]'', Colress confronted Zinzolin at the [[Cold Storage]], demanding to know why he had been refusing to answer. Zinzolin revealed that he managed to capture {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}, the third Unova Legendary Dragon Pokémon. Colress praised Zinzolin for his success, but demanded that he hand Kyurem to him, angering Zinzolin into attacking. During the battle, Colress realized that Zinzolin's true intention was to have Kyurem fuse with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} through Absofusion. Following Kyurem's trail, Blake arrived at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site, where he witnessed Thundurus and Landorus defeating Zinzolin. Upon spotting Blake, Colress used the [[Reveal Glass]] to turn Thundurus and Landorus into their Therian Formes.

In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Blake tried arresting the unconscious Zinzolin, only for him to be taken away by Colress, who wished to use his knowledge of Kyurem to Team Plasma's advantage. With the Colress Machine, Colress took control of Kyurem and commanded it to attack, but was stopped by Ghetsis, who appeared with the Plasma Frigate. Ghetsis had Kyurem loaded into a special room on the ship. Blake tried stopping them, but was attacked by the [[Shadow Triad]], allowing the Plasma Frigate to take off and fly through the air. The Plasma Frigate was flown to [[Castelia City]], where it froze several buildings and people with its special Kyurem-powered cannon. When the traitor to Team Plasma, [[Rood]], appeared, Ghetsis ordered Colress to capture the former Sage. Rood was saved by {{adv|Whitley}}, who pushed him out of the way, only to get captured herself. Annoyed that Rood managed to escape, Colress had Whitley locked in an empty cabin.

In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', Whitley was broken out of her cabin by Blake, who teamed up with her to free Kyurem from Colress' control. They destroyed the chamber where Kyurem was kept, but it was empty, as the Plasma Frigate had already drained enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to throw them into the ocean. Afterward, Colress realized that Kyurem appeared before Zinzolin because it was attracted to Reshiram and Zekrom's power when they awakened. He then speculated that because of Kyurem's power, Reshiram and Zekrom may return to Unova.

In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Colress gave Ghetsis control over Kyurem so he could use it to battle N, who had appeared to stop them. Later, Ghetsis obtained the [[DNA Splicers]] and used them on Kyurem, who reverted Zekrom back into the [[Dark Stone]], trapping N inside with it. Kyurem absorbed the Dark Stone, transforming itself into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}. Reacting to Zekrom's absorption, the Light Stone reverted to Reshiram, freeing Black in the process. Black and White briefly fought Kyurem, but were distracted when N was suddenly ejected from the Dark Stone, allowing Ghetsis to launch an attack and escape. After being tossed aside by Ghetsis, Colress secretly took N aboard the Plasma Frigate, curious about his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.
[[File:Kelden stricking Colress.png|thumb|250px|left|Colress being struck by Keldeo]]
[[File:Blake Colress Genesect.png|thumb|250px|Colress being chased by Blake]]
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Colress and Ghetsis followed Kyurem, who had started moving towards the [[Giant Chasm]] of its own free will. After arriving, Colress retook control of Kyurem and had it attack the Unova [[Pokédex holder]]s. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress's commands, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing that a machine designed to counter the Colress Machine had been activated. Refusing to give up, Colress tried commanding Kyurem again, only for it to revert to its normal form and absorb Reshiram to become White Kyurem. Accepting his loss, Colress decided to quit Team Plasma and flee, only for Blake to pursue him while riding on Genesect. Colress responded by sending out a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, which he boasted as being far more powerful.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle]]'', Colress was struck by [[Kelden]], who had changed into its Resolute Form. The attack only ended up shattering the Reveal Glass, reverting Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus back into their Incarnate Formes. As the battle continued, Blake realized Colress was using a second, improved version of the Colress Machine to control his Genesect. When Blake's team took down Colress's Beheeyem and destroyed the device, the Red Genesect threw Colress off of its back, sending him plummeting towards the ground. Blake tried to save Colress, but the scientist ordered his Genesect to fire a Techno Blast at him, revealing it was truly his Pokémon and the second Colress Machine was merely a distraction. Blake survived due his defense suit, only for Colress to command his Genesect to fire a second shot. Blake sent out an {{p|Escavalier}} and had it jam Genesect's cannon, causing it to backfire and explode, knocking both Pokémon out. Blake was then assisted by {{p|Victini}}, a Pokémon with a grudge against Team Plasma, who sought to capture it two years ago. Once his last Pokémon was taken out, Colress admitted his loss, only for Kyurem to appear and freeze him solid, defeating the scientist. Afterward, Colress was captured and taken into International Police custody.

==Trivia==
* Colress does not have an introduction and VS sprite the first two times he is fought. The third time, he has the Team Plasma template used by [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. In the post–Hall of Fame rematches, he uses the basic template used for battles against [[Gym Leader]]s, [[rival]]s, and [[Benga]].
** Colress's unique battle background music, 戦闘! アクロマ ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection|Battle! Colress]]'', is not used in the first battle against him; it is first heard when he is fought on the [[Plasma Frigate]] and is kept for rematches.
* Colress bears a striking resemblance to [[Ein]], both in terms of appearance and motive. Both are scientists who wear glasses and a white lab coat and have a hair flick. Furthermore, they both strive to unlock the potential in Pokémon, and side with the evil team of their respective games.
** Colress also greatly resembles [[Dr. Yung]] from ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. Both are scientists who appear friendly but secretly play antagonistic roles and who obsess over the power of Pokémon. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Colress's alter-ego of Hood Man also bears a striking resemblance to Yung's Mirage Master identity.
* On his concept art for {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Colress's new outfit is called the "Achromatic Wearable Console."
* Colress is the only non-[[Pokédex holder]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] to own a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

The '''Ultra Recon Squad''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラ{{tt|調査隊|ちょうさたい}}''' ''Ultra Reconnaissance Team'') is an organization that appears in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. They came to the [[Alola]] region from [[Ultra Megalopolis]], an {{pkmn|multiverse|alternate world}} beyond an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The group's main goal is to investigate Ultra Wormholes, [[Ultra Beast]]s, and return the light that was stolen from their home by {{ga|Necrozma}}. The group's known members are [[Dulse]], [[Zossie]], [[Soliera]], and Captain [[Phyco]].

In [[Pokémon GO]], [[Rhi]], a member of the '''GO Ultra Recon Squad''', appears.

==In the core series games==

=== History ===

==== {{G|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} ====
{{spoilers}}
Depending on the game's version, a different pair will play a central role while the other two only appear near the end of the game's story. In Pokémon Ultra Sun, [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] will play the central role; in Pokémon Ultra Moon, it will be [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]. Their goals also differ depending on the version of the game: Dulse and Zossie focus on finding out how to stop {{p|Necrozma}}, while Soliera and Phyco focus on how to use Necrozma's power.

The Ultra Recon Squad member Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses a {{p|Furfrou}} in their first battle and the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} in all subsequent battles.

The Ultra Recon Squad is first seen assisting a pair of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s in trying to prevent [[Lillie]] from escaping [[Aether Paradise]] with [[Nebby]], only to witness Nebby teleporting itself and Lillie away to another location. They are then seen in [[Iki Town]] as the player is heading over to the festival, talking about what the people of [[Alola]] are celebrating about. After the player defeats [[Hau]], they start commentating on the battle and how they are going to use the content of Alola to stop "The Blinding One".

The second encounter happens when the player enters the second half of {{rt|2|Alola}}. Here, they investigate "The Blinding One" energy signature they detect nearby. They are later seen after the player completes [[Ilima]]'s [[Island challenge|trial]], where they share their curiosity about the [[Z-Crystal]]s and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. They are surprised to learn about the [[Poké Ball]]s that the player has before revealing their investigation on Z-Crystals and moving on.

The third encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player finds Nebby in [[Seaward Cave]]. Here they explain that they are searching for someone powerful enough to protect "The Blinding One", while also mentioning they have been exploring the concept of [[Poké Ball]]s. Using the {{p|Furfrou}} they caught, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} challenges the player to a fight. Upon losing to the player, they will then mention that {{p|Cosmog}} is known to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, which might bring danger into the world(s), but are reassured that the Alolan people will not let it happen. Before leaving, the Ultra Recon Squad then declare they will leave Lillie and Nebby alone as long as the Pokémon doesn't open a portal to [[Megalo Tower]].

The fourth encounter occurs in [[Paniola Ranch]], after the player scares away the {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking the path to {{rt|6|Alola}}. Here, they express surprise that Sudowoodo isn't a plant, despite their appearance, while marveling at how unique Alolan Pokémon are. Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} then challenges the player to a fight using the Ultra Beast Poipole from their home. After the battle, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} thanks the player for helping them to better understand their Poipole and notes that their battle skills need more improvement. They also mention how the [[Z-Power Ring]] reminds them of the light their ancestors once experienced from the "Blinding One", which is their duty to find out about before leaving the area.

The fifth encounter happens when the player enters [[Dividing Peak Tunnel]] for the first time. Here they discover that the aura readings in the area are very high, and they are not very familiar with the tunnels. After asking the player if they can control the aura that is in [[Z-Move]]s, they reveal that their home used to be have a light that affected them similarly to [[Z-Move]]s. They proceed to leave the tunnel in order to meet up someone. When the player enters {{rt|8|Alola}}, it is revealed that it was [[Colress]] who the Ultra Recon Squad was meeting with. After chatting with the scientist, they leave the route.

The sixth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player defeats {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]], where they're seen without their masks for the first time. They reveal to the player and [[Hau]] that they are working with [[Lusamine]] and helping the [[Aether Foundation]] with their research on Ultra Beasts. They explain that Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] that came from [[Ultra Space]], and that their home [[dimension]]'s light was stolen by {{p|Necrozma}}, which may one day steal the light of Alola as well. Lusamine reassures them that should Necrozma or any Ultra Beasts emerge in Alola, the Ultra Recon Squad will be prepared to protect the region along with the Aether Foundation.

The seventh encounter occurs when the player reaches [[Tapu Village]], where they are investigating the ruins. The Ultra Recon Squad explains that here is where Necrozma last visited Alola, when it fought against the [[Guardian deities]] during its search for light. They also revealed that their ancestors were greedy and wanted to control Necrozma's light, only for the plan to backfire. Their action resulted in Necrozma losing a piece of itself, leading it to become wild and seeking all the light it can find to absorb. Because of this, their ancestors locked the Prism Pokémon away in the Megalo Tower in order to prevent it from escaping and contain its rage. However, the tower has begun to reach its limit, leading to their difficult mission in Alola to find a different way to stop{{sup/7|US}}/help{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma.

The next encounter is back at [[Aether Paradise]], during [[Lillie]]'s rescue, where they block the player from getting to Lusamine. They ask the player to leave {{p|Cosmog}} to them before Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} faces the player in battle. The battle made Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} realize the reason they have no control over Necrozma even with the technology they have, but they are still confident in the fact that the Aether Foundation will use Nebby to send strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s through the Ultra Wormhole to stop Necrozma using a device created by Colress to restrain it. So they ask the player not to get in the way of Lusamine before the player goes to face her. After Lusamine goes into Ultra Space along with [[Guzma]] using [[Nebby]]'s power, the Ultra Recon Squad comes into the room, appalled that Lusamine went to face Necrozma for her own selfish reasons rather than to help them. Right before leaving, they then mention that if Lusamine awakens Necrozma, it will take the light of Alola as it tried to do in the past and already did in Ultra Megalopolis.

The ninth encounter happens in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] as the player is heading to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} with Lillie. The Ultra Recon Squad, still enraged over [[Lusamine]]'s selfish actions, challenges the player to one last battle to prove that they can take on Necrozma themselves. After another defeat, they accept their mistake and ask the player to stop Necrozma in their place when it comes to [[Alola]].

The tenth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} escapes into Ultra Space after being defeated by the player. They are horrified that their fear came to be as Necrozma steals the light of Alola and will steal the light of worlds unless stopped. Lusamine asks for their help in reaching [[Ultra Megalopolis]] with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] they use to arrive in Alola, but [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Phyco]]{{sup/7|UM}} refuses due to her reckless actions. They also notice that Necrozma was distracted by the player's [[Z-Power Ring]] as if it desired it. After discussing with Lillie and [[Guzma]], they explain [[Ultra Warp Ride]] to the player and how to use it to reach Necrozma.

And so the player uses their {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|UM}} to reach [[Ultra Megalopolis]], meeting with the other members [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Here they explain that their people are hiding due to Necrozma attempting to regain its true form by absorbing the light taken from the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. This process instead causes Necrozma to feel even more pain due to the fact it cannot control the excessive light energy coming from [[Nebby]]. After revealing that both the Prism Pokémon and their own world have suffered for so long, they ask the player to stop Necrozma at the top of [[Megalo Tower]].

The eleventh encounter occurs at Megalo Tower, after the player stops Necrozma. The Ultra Recon Squad thanks the player for saving [[Alola]] and their world, and says that light will return to their world someday. Noting that {{p|Poipole}} wishes to join the player, they give the [[Ultra Beast]] as a [[Gift Pokémon|gift]]. The player then returns to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, where the Ultra Recon Squad reveals that {{p|Necrozma}} was the source behind [[Z-Move|Z-Power]] and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. As thanks they allow the player to continue using their [[Legendary Pokémon]] to explore [[Ultra Space]] while they decide to remain in [[Alola]] to continue their research.

The final encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens in [[Alola Route 1|Route 1]], after the player becomes the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] of Alola. They ask the player and Hau for assistance in dealing with the Ultra Beasts known as {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}, who are running amok on [[Poni Grove]] in [[Poni Island]] due to Necrozma. After giving the player and Hau [[Beast Ball]]s, they proceed to capture the [[Ultra Beast]]s. One caught by Hau is given to the Ultra Recon Squad to be used by the Squad and the Aether Foundation for research, while the other two are caught by the player. They proceed to thank the two for their service and leave the area.

They can be encountered afterwards at the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|UM}}, doing research on it along with the alternate world of Alola.

===Pokémon===
The concept of Pokémon ownership does not exist in [[Ultra Megalopolis]]; instead, the people share Pokémon to use their powers.

=====For battles=====
The Ultra Recon Squad keeps battling Pokémon in the [[Beast Ball]]s they helped develop with the [[Aether Foundation]]. Since Ultra Recon Squad members don't "own" Pokémon, it's unknown whether Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} kept the {{p|Furfrou}} following the first battle.

=====[[Ride Pokémon]]=====
The Ultra Recon Squad also has access to a {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{Sup/7|UM}} which they use to travel between Ultra Megalopolis and Alola. After witnessing Necrozma absorb [[Nebby]] to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} form at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, the Ultra Recon Squad will entrust the player to ride their Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} through the Ultra Wormhole.

=====Given away=====
In the Ultra Recon Squad, each duo travels with a {{p|Poipole}}, one of which Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses to battle the player throughout Alola. The other is given to the player by Soliera{{sup/7|US}}/Dulse{{sup/7|UM}} after defeating Necrozma at Megalo Tower.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
The Ultra Recon Squad debuted in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', where {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} encountered [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] riding [[Nebby|Lunala]] in [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. Sun and Moon had a brief battle with Zossie and, after sharing some information, Lunala chose to leave them and reunite with Sun and Moon who cared for it as a {{P|Cosmog}}. The children however decided to make a deal with them to take Zossie back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], but Dulse was forced to stay since Lunala can't carry 4 people. After they left, Dulse informed [[Soliera]] that they lost Lunala and she informed him of {{Adv|Necrozma}}'s painful state.

In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the three reached Ultra Megalopolis and the children met Soliera as a {{p|Stakataka}} attacked the city, but they managed to stop it thanks to {{adv|Zygarde}}. In the [[PASM29|following chapter]], captain [[Phyco]] met with [[Lusamine]] at the [[Poni Altar]] and she caught his Naganadel as one of her "children". In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', after Lusamine fused with her {{P|Nihilego}}, Zossie and Soliera explained to Moon how to save Lusamine while Phyco helped Sun and Moon reach Lusamine and stop her fight with Necrozma.

In ''[[PASM34|Destroy!! Results of the Training!]]'', the Ultra Recon Squad traveled to [[Alola]] to watch the battle between Necrozma and Zygarde, but Dulse was lifted up by Necrozma, which absorbed the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] in his possession, transforming Necrozma into [[Ultra Burst|Ultra Necrozma]]. After Ultra Necrozma was defeated by Zygarde, Solgaleo, and Lunala in ''[[PASM37|Finale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!]]'', Zossie captured Necrozma in a {{ball|Beast}} to take care of it. In the end, Soliera turned down the [[Aether Foundation]], unwilling to research with anyone other than Moon. Dulse meanwhile started helping [[Gladion]] find Faba in [[Ultra Space]].

'''Ultra Recon Squad''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era). It was first released in the {{TCG|Ultra Force}} subset before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the characters [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[Megumi Mizutani]]. Ultra Recon Squad allows the player to discard up to 2 {{TCG|Ultra Beast}} cards from their hand. They then draw 3 cards for each card discarded.

==Trivia==
* When using the Alolan greeting, the Ultra Recon Squad members tend to do it in a more mechanical fashion, moving their hands in a rectangular motion rather than a circular one.
* Phyco and Zossie's names come from {{wp|seagrass}} species, while Soliera and Dulse's names come from species of {{wp|red algae}}.
* All members of the Ultra Recon Squad are left-handed, representative of the reverse world they come from, as the player will always start out as right-handed.
* In the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Moon}} takes note of the uncommon appearance of Zossie and the other residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], pointing out that their hair and eye colors are likely the result of adaptation to their lightless world.

The '''Ultra Recon Squad''' (Japanese: '''ウルトラ{{tt|調査隊|ちょうさたい}}''' ''Ultra Reconnaissance Team'') is an organization that appears in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. They came to the [[Alola]] region from [[Ultra Megalopolis]], an {{pkmn|multiverse|alternate world}} beyond an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The group's main goal is to investigate Ultra Wormholes, [[Ultra Beast]]s, and return the light that was stolen from their home by {{ga|Necrozma}}. The group's known members are [[Dulse]], [[Zossie]], [[Soliera]], and Captain [[Phyco]].

In [[Pokémon GO]], [[Rhi]], a member of the '''GO Ultra Recon Squad''', appears.

==In the core series games==

=== History ===

==== {{G|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} ====
{{spoilers}}
Depending on the game's version, a different pair will play a central role while the other two only appear near the end of the game's story. In Pokémon Ultra Sun, [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] will play the central role; in Pokémon Ultra Moon, it will be [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]. Their goals also differ depending on the version of the game: Dulse and Zossie focus on finding out how to stop {{p|Necrozma}}, while Soliera and Phyco focus on how to use Necrozma's power.

The Ultra Recon Squad member Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses a {{p|Furfrou}} in their first battle and the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} in all subsequent battles.

The Ultra Recon Squad is first seen assisting a pair of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s in trying to prevent [[Lillie]] from escaping [[Aether Paradise]] with [[Nebby]], only to witness Nebby teleporting itself and Lillie away to another location. They are then seen in [[Iki Town]] as the player is heading over to the festival, talking about what the people of [[Alola]] are celebrating about. After the player defeats [[Hau]], they start commentating on the battle and how they are going to use the content of Alola to stop "The Blinding One".

The second encounter happens when the player enters the second half of {{rt|2|Alola}}. Here, they investigate "The Blinding One" energy signature they detect nearby. They are later seen after the player completes [[Ilima]]'s [[Island challenge|trial]], where they share their curiosity about the [[Z-Crystal]]s and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. They are surprised to learn about the [[Poké Ball]]s that the player has before revealing their investigation on Z-Crystals and moving on.

The third encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player finds Nebby in [[Seaward Cave]]. Here they explain that they are searching for someone powerful enough to protect "The Blinding One", while also mentioning they have been exploring the concept of [[Poké Ball]]s. Using the {{p|Furfrou}} they caught, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} challenges the player to a fight. Upon losing to the player, they will then mention that {{p|Cosmog}} is known to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, which might bring danger into the world(s), but are reassured that the Alolan people will not let it happen. Before leaving, the Ultra Recon Squad then declare they will leave Lillie and Nebby alone as long as the Pokémon doesn't open a portal to [[Megalo Tower]].

The fourth encounter occurs in [[Paniola Ranch]], after the player scares away the {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking the path to {{rt|6|Alola}}. Here, they express surprise that Sudowoodo isn't a plant, despite their appearance, while marveling at how unique Alolan Pokémon are. Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} then challenges the player to a fight using the Ultra Beast Poipole from their home. After the battle, Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} thanks the player for helping them to better understand their Poipole and notes that their battle skills need more improvement. They also mention how the [[Z-Power Ring]] reminds them of the light their ancestors once experienced from the "Blinding One", which is their duty to find out about before leaving the area.

The fifth encounter happens when the player enters [[Dividing Peak Tunnel]] for the first time. Here they discover that the aura readings in the area are very high, and they are not very familiar with the tunnels. After asking the player if they can control the aura that is in [[Z-Move]]s, they reveal that their home used to be have a light that affected them similarly to [[Z-Move]]s. They proceed to leave the tunnel in order to meet up someone. When the player enters {{rt|8|Alola}}, it is revealed that it was [[Colress]] who the Ultra Recon Squad was meeting with. After chatting with the scientist, they leave the route.

The sixth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player defeats {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]], where they're seen without their masks for the first time. They reveal to the player and [[Hau]] that they are working with [[Lusamine]] and helping the [[Aether Foundation]] with their research on Ultra Beasts. They explain that Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] that came from [[Ultra Space]], and that their home [[dimension]]'s light was stolen by {{p|Necrozma}}, which may one day steal the light of Alola as well. Lusamine reassures them that should Necrozma or any Ultra Beasts emerge in Alola, the Ultra Recon Squad will be prepared to protect the region along with the Aether Foundation.

The seventh encounter occurs when the player reaches [[Tapu Village]], where they are investigating the ruins. The Ultra Recon Squad explains that here is where Necrozma last visited Alola, when it fought against the [[Guardian deities]] during its search for light. They also revealed that their ancestors were greedy and wanted to control Necrozma's light, only for the plan to backfire. Their action resulted in Necrozma losing a piece of itself, leading it to become wild and seeking all the light it can find to absorb. Because of this, their ancestors locked the Prism Pokémon away in the Megalo Tower in order to prevent it from escaping and contain its rage. However, the tower has begun to reach its limit, leading to their difficult mission in Alola to find a different way to stop{{sup/7|US}}/help{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma.

The next encounter is back at [[Aether Paradise]], during [[Lillie]]'s rescue, where they block the player from getting to Lusamine. They ask the player to leave {{p|Cosmog}} to them before Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} faces the player in battle. The battle made Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} realize the reason they have no control over Necrozma even with the technology they have, but they are still confident in the fact that the Aether Foundation will use Nebby to send strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s through the Ultra Wormhole to stop Necrozma using a device created by Colress to restrain it. So they ask the player not to get in the way of Lusamine before the player goes to face her. After Lusamine goes into Ultra Space along with [[Guzma]] using [[Nebby]]'s power, the Ultra Recon Squad comes into the room, appalled that Lusamine went to face Necrozma for her own selfish reasons rather than to help them. Right before leaving, they then mention that if Lusamine awakens Necrozma, it will take the light of Alola as it tried to do in the past and already did in Ultra Megalopolis.

The ninth encounter happens in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] as the player is heading to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} with Lillie. The Ultra Recon Squad, still enraged over [[Lusamine]]'s selfish actions, challenges the player to one last battle to prove that they can take on Necrozma themselves. After another defeat, they accept their mistake and ask the player to stop Necrozma in their place when it comes to [[Alola]].

The tenth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} escapes into Ultra Space after being defeated by the player. They are horrified that their fear came to be as Necrozma steals the light of Alola and will steal the light of worlds unless stopped. Lusamine asks for their help in reaching [[Ultra Megalopolis]] with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] they use to arrive in Alola, but [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Phyco]]{{sup/7|UM}} refuses due to her reckless actions. They also notice that Necrozma was distracted by the player's [[Z-Power Ring]] as if it desired it. After discussing with Lillie and [[Guzma]], they explain [[Ultra Warp Ride]] to the player and how to use it to reach Necrozma.

And so the player uses their {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|UM}} to reach [[Ultra Megalopolis]], meeting with the other members [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Here they explain that their people are hiding due to Necrozma attempting to regain its true form by absorbing the light taken from the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. This process instead causes Necrozma to feel even more pain due to the fact it cannot control the excessive light energy coming from [[Nebby]]. After revealing that both the Prism Pokémon and their own world have suffered for so long, they ask the player to stop Necrozma at the top of [[Megalo Tower]].

The eleventh encounter occurs at Megalo Tower, after the player stops Necrozma. The Ultra Recon Squad thanks the player for saving [[Alola]] and their world, and says that light will return to their world someday. Noting that {{p|Poipole}} wishes to join the player, they give the [[Ultra Beast]] as a [[Gift Pokémon|gift]]. The player then returns to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, where the Ultra Recon Squad reveals that {{p|Necrozma}} was the source behind [[Z-Move|Z-Power]] and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. As thanks they allow the player to continue using their [[Legendary Pokémon]] to explore [[Ultra Space]] while they decide to remain in [[Alola]] to continue their research.

The final encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens in [[Alola Route 1|Route 1]], after the player becomes the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] of Alola. They ask the player and Hau for assistance in dealing with the Ultra Beasts known as {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}, who are running amok on [[Poni Grove]] in [[Poni Island]] due to Necrozma. After giving the player and Hau [[Beast Ball]]s, they proceed to capture the [[Ultra Beast]]s. One caught by Hau is given to the Ultra Recon Squad to be used by the Squad and the Aether Foundation for research, while the other two are caught by the player. They proceed to thank the two for their service and leave the area.

They can be encountered afterwards at the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|UM}}, doing research on it along with the alternate world of Alola.

===Pokémon===
The concept of Pokémon ownership does not exist in [[Ultra Megalopolis]]; instead, the people share Pokémon to use their powers.

=====For battles=====
The Ultra Recon Squad keeps battling Pokémon in the [[Beast Ball]]s they helped develop with the [[Aether Foundation]]. Since Ultra Recon Squad members don't "own" Pokémon, it's unknown whether Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} kept the {{p|Furfrou}} following the first battle.

=====[[Ride Pokémon]]=====
The Ultra Recon Squad also has access to a {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{Sup/7|UM}} which they use to travel between Ultra Megalopolis and Alola. After witnessing Necrozma absorb [[Nebby]] to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} form at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, the Ultra Recon Squad will entrust the player to ride their Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} through the Ultra Wormhole.

=====Given away=====
In the Ultra Recon Squad, each duo travels with a {{p|Poipole}}, one of which Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses to battle the player throughout Alola. The other is given to the player by Soliera{{sup/7|US}}/Dulse{{sup/7|UM}} after defeating Necrozma at Megalo Tower.

The Ultra Recon Squad debuted in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', where {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} encountered [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] riding [[Nebby|Lunala]] in [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. Sun and Moon had a brief battle with Zossie and after sharing some information, Lunala chose to leave them and reunite with Sun and Moon who cared for it as a {{P|Cosmog}}. The children however decided to make a deal with them to take Zossie back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], but Dulse was forced to stay since Lunala can't carry 4 people. After they left, Dulse informed [[Soliera]] that they lost Lunala and she informed him of {{Adv|Necrozma}}'s painful state.

In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the three reached Ultra Megalopolis and the children met Soliera as a {{p|Stakataka}} attacked the city, but they managed to stop it thanks to {{adv|Zygarde}}. In the [[PASM29|following chapter]], captain [[Phyco]] met with [[Lusamine]] at the [[Poni Altar]] and she caught his Naganadel as one of her "children". In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', after Lusamine fused with her {{P|Nihilego}}, Zossie and Soliera explained to Moon how to save Lusamine while Phyco helped Sun and Moon reach Lusamine and stop her fight with Necrozma.

In ''[[PASM34|Destroy!! Results of the Training!]]'', the Ultra Recon Squad traveled to [[Alola]] to watch the battle between Necrozma and Zygarde, but Dulse was lifted up by Necrozma, which absorbed the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] in his possession, transforming Necrozma into [[Ultra Burst|Ultra Necrozma]]. After Ultra Necrozma was defeated by Zygarde, Solgaleo, and Lunala in ''[[PASM37|Finale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!]]'', Zossie captured Necrozma in a {{ball|Beast}} to take care of it. In the end, Soliera turned down the [[Aether Foundation]], unwilling to research with anyone other than Moon. Dulse meanwhile started helping [[Gladion]] find Faba in [[Ultra Space]].

They also mention how the [[Z-Power Ring]] reminds them of the light their ancestors once experienced from the "Blinding One", which is their duty to find out about before leaving the area.

The fifth encounter happens when the player enters [[Dividing Peak Tunnel]] for the first time. Here they discover that the aura readings in the area are very high, and they are not very familiar with the tunnels. After asking the player if they can control the aura that is in [[Z-Move]]s they reveal that their home used to be have a light that affected them similarly to [[Z-Move]]s. They proceed to leave the tunnel in order to meet up someone. When the player enters {{rt|8|Alola}}, it is revealed that it was [[Colress]] who the Ultra Recon Squad was meeting with. After chatting with the scientist they leave the route.

The sixth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens after the player defeats {{p|Nihilego}} at [[Aether Paradise]], where they're seen without their masks for the first time. They reveal to the player and [[Hau]] that they are working with [[Lusamine]] and helping the [[Aether Foundation]] with their research on Ultra Beasts. They explain that Nihilego is an [[Ultra Beast]] that came from [[Ultra Space]], and that their home [[dimension]]'s light was stolen by {{p|Necrozma}}, which may one day steal the light of Alola as well. Lusamine reassures them that should Necrozma or any Ultra Beasts emerge in Alola, the Ultra Recon Squad will be prepared to protect the region along with the Aether Foundation.

The seventh encounter occurs when the player reaches [[Tapu Village]], where they are investigating the ruins. The Ultra Recon Squad explains that here is where Necrozma last visited Alola, when it fought against the [[Guardian deities]] during its search for light. They also revealed that their ancestors were greedy and wanted to control Necrozma's light, only for the plan to backfire. Their action resulted in Necrozma losing a piece of itself, leading it to become wild and seeking all the light it can find to absorb. Because of this, their ancestors locked the Prism Pokémon away in the Megalo Tower in order to prevent it from escaping and contain its rage. However, the tower has begun to reach its limit, leading to their difficult mission in Alola to find a different way to stop{{sup/7|US}}/help{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma.

The next encounter is back at [[Aether Paradise]], during [[Lillie]]'s rescue, where they block the player from getting to Lusamine. They ask the player to leave {{p|Cosmog}} to them before Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} faces the player in battle. The battle made Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} realize the reason they have no control over Necrozma even with the technology they have, but they are still confident in the fact that the Aether Foundation will use Nebby to send strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s through the Ultra Wormhole to stop Necrozma using a device created by Colress to restrain it. So they ask the player not to get in the way of Lusamine before the player goes to face her. After Lusamine goes into Ultra Space along with [[Guzma]] using [[Nebby]]'s power, the Ultra Recon Squad comes into the room, appalled that Lusamine went to face Necrozma for her own selfish reasons rather than to help them. Right before leaving, they then mention that if Lusamine awakens Necrozma, it will take the light of Alola as it tried to do in the past and already did in Ultra Megalopolis.

The ninth encounter happens in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] as the player is heading to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}} with Lillie. The Ultra Recon Squad, still enraged over [[Lusamine]]'s selfish actions, challenges the player to one last battle to prove that they can take on Necrozma themselves. After another defeat, they accept their mistake and ask the player to stop Necrozma in their place when it comes to [[Alola]].

The tenth encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, when {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}{{sup/7|UM}} escapes into Ultra Space after being defeated by the player. They are horrified that their fear came to be as Necrozma steals the light of Alola and will steal the light of worlds unless stopped. Lusamine asks for their help in reaching [[Ultra Megalopolis]] with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] they use to arrive in Alola, but [[Dulse]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Phyco]]{{sup/7|UM}} refuses due to her reckless actions. They also notice that Necrozma was distracted by the player's [[Z-Power Ring]] as if it desired it. After discussing with Lillie and [[Guzma]], they explain [[Ultra Warp Ride]] to the player and how to use it to reach Necrozma.

And so the player uses their {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|UM}} to reach [[Ultra Megalopolis]], meeting with the other members [[Phyco]] and [[Soliera]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]{{sup/7|UM}}. Here they explain that their people are hiding due to Necrozma attempting to regain its true form by absorbing the light taken from the [[Legendary Pokémon]]. This process instead causes Necrozma to feel even more pain due to the fact it cannot control the excessive light energy coming from [[Nebby]]. After revealing that both the Prism Pokémon and their own world have suffered for so long, they ask the player to stop Necrozma at the top of [[Megalo Tower]].

The eleventh encounter occurs at Megalo Tower, after the player stops Necrozma. The Ultra Recon Squad thanks the player for saving [[Alola]] and their world, and says that light will return to their world someday. Noting that {{p|Poipole}} wishes to join the player, they give the [[Ultra Beast]] as a [[Gift Pokémon|gift]]. The player then returns to the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, where the Ultra Recon Squad reveals that {{p|Necrozma}} was the source behind [[Z-Move|Z-Power]] and the aura surrounding [[Totem Pokémon]]. As thanks they allow the player to continue using their [[Legendary Pokémon]] to explore [[Ultra Space]] while they decide to remain in [[Alola]] to continue their research.

The final encounter with the Ultra Recon Squad happens in [[Alola Route 1|Route 1]] after the player becomes the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] of Alola. They ask the player and Hau for assistance in dealing with the Ultra Beasts known as {{p|Blacephalon}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Stakataka}}{{sup/7|UM}}, who are running amok on [[Poni Grove]] in [[Poni Island]] due to Necrozma. After giving the player and Hau [[Beast Ball]]s, they proceed to capture the [[Ultra Beast]]s. One caught by Hau is given to the Ultra Recon Squad to be used by the Squad and the Aether Foundation for research, while the other two are caught by the player. They proceed to thank the two for their service and leave the area.

They can be encountered afterwards at the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|UM}}, doing research on it along with the alternate world of Alola.

===Pokémon===
The concept of Pokémon ownership does not exist in [[Ultra Megalopolis]]; instead, the people share Pokémon to use their powers.

=====For battles=====
The Ultra Recon Squad keeps battling Pokémon in the [[Beast Ball]]s they helped develop with the [[Aether Foundation]]. Since Ultra Recon Squad members don't "own" Pokémon, it's unknown whether Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} kept the {{p|Furfrou}} following the first battle.

=====[[Ride Pokémon]]=====
The Ultra Recon Squad also has access to a {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Solgaleo}}{{Sup/7|UM}} which they use to travel between Ultra Megalopolis and Alola. After witnessing Necrozma absorb [[Nebby]] to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} form at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|UM}}, the Ultra Recon Squad will entrust the player to ride their Lunala{{sup/7|US}}/Solgaleo{{sup/7|UM}} through the Ultra Wormhole.

=====Given away=====
In the Ultra Recon Squad, each duo travels with a {{p|Poipole}}, one of which Dulse{{sup/7|US}}/Soliera{{sup/7|UM}} uses to battle the player throughout Alola. The other is given to the player by Soliera{{sup/7|US}}/Dulse{{sup/7|UM}} after defeating Necrozma at Megalo Tower.

The Ultra Recon Squad debuted in ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', where {{adv|Sun}} and {{adv|Moon}} encountered [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] riding [[Nebby|Lunala]] in [[Ultra Deep Sea]]. Sun and Moon had a brief battle with Zossie and after sharing some information, Lunala chose to leave them and reunite with Sun and Moon who cared for it as a {{P|Cosmog}}. The children however decided to make a deal with them to take Zossie back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], but Dulse was forced to stay since Lunala can't carry 4 people. After they left, Dulse informed [[Soliera]] that they lost Lunala and she informed him of {{Adv|Necrozma}}'s painful state.

In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the three reached Ultra Megalopolis and the children met Soliera as a {{p|Stakataka}} attacked the city, but they managed to stop it thanks to {{adv|Zygarde}}. In the [[PASM29|following chapter]], captain [[Phyco]] met with [[Lusamine]] at the [[Poni Altar]] and she caught his Naganadel as one of her "children". In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', after Lusamine fused with her {{P|Nihilego}}, Zossie and Soliera explained to Moon how to save Lusamine while Phyco helped Sun and Moon reach Lusamine and stop her fight with Necrozma.

In ''[[PASM34|Destroy!! Results of the Training!]]'', the Ultra Recon Squad traveled to [[Alola]] to watch the battle between Necrozma and Zygarde, but Dulse was lifted up by Necrozma, which absorbed the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] in his possession, transforming Necrozma into [[Ultra Burst|Ultra Necrozma]]. After Ultra Necrozma was defeated by Zygarde, Solgaleo, and Lunala in ''[[PASM37|Finale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!]]'', Zossie captured Necrozma in a {{ball|Beast}} to take care of it. In the end, Soliera turned down the [[Aether Foundation]], unwilling to research with anyone other than Moon. Dulse meanwhile started helping [[Gladion]] find Faba in [[Ultra Space]].

==In the TCG==
[[File:UltraReconSquadForbiddenLight131.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Ultra Recon Squad]]
{{main|Ultra Recon Squad (Forbidden Light 114)}}
'''Ultra Recon Squad''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese Sun & Moon Era). It was first released in the {{TCG|Ultra Force}} subset before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the characters [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in both expansions, with an illustration by [[Megumi Mizutani]]. Ultra Recon Squad allows the player to discard up to 2 {{TCG|Ultra Beast}} cards from their hand. They then draw 3 cards for each card discarded.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When using the Alolan greeting, the Ultra Recon Squad members tend to do it in a more mechanical fashion, moving their hands in a rectangular motion rather than a circular one.
* Phyco and Zossie's names come from {{wp|seagrass}} species, while Soliera and Dulse's names come from species of {{wp|red algae}}.
* All members of the Ultra Recon Squad are left-handed, representative of the reverse world they come from, as the player will always start out as right-handed.
* In the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Moon}} takes note of the uncommon appearance of Zossie and the other residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]], pointing out that their hair and eye colors are likely the result of adaptation to their lightless world.

'''Flittle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒラヒナ''' ''Hirahina'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Espathra}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
Flittle is a small Pokémon resembling a bird chick, with a yellow body, large blue eyes with a lavender triangular mark between them, and a small lavender mouth. It has white frills on its head and both yellow and pink frills extending from its belly, which it uses to emit psychic energy. Its pointed feet are extremely small and appear to serve no use in movement, dangling from its body as it levitates above the ground.

Flittle spends most of its time roaming wastelands and mountainous regions. Flittle is also known to be quite vengeful. Should anyone steal Flittle's berries, it will chase after them for revenge.

===Evolution===
Flittle evolves into {{p|Espathra}}.

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

'''Espathra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クエスパトラ''' ''Cuespatra'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

==Biology==
Espathra is a tall flightless avian Pokémon resembling an ostrich. Its face has large blue eyes with white irises. Instead of a beak, it has a pointed, elongated snout, which hides a tiny mouth located at the bottom. Espathra's head, neck, and legs are lavender in color, with brown stripes covering its neck and white stripes covering its legs and front toes. Espathra has two front toes and a single back toe on each foot.

Espathra's torso is large and covered in white feathers, and it has rounded brown wings on top. These wings have triangular patterns and short frills near their tips. Espathra has frills covering other parts of its body: white frills form a headdress shape over its head, and long yellow and white frills drape from its backside, forming its tail.

Espathra is able to emit psychic powers from its eyes and the gaps between its frills. By using the psychic powers emitted from its eyes, it can immobilize foes. It is believed to be an aggressive Pokémon species. Espathra's legs are long and powerful, allowing it to run at speeds of over 120 mph (200 km/h). Espathra makes its habitat in deserts and mountainous regions.

Espathra is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Lumina Crash}}. It is also the [[signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Opportunist}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Espathra evolves from {{p|Flittle}}.

==Trivia==
* Espathra and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1604786117487853568 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230329233245/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1605476467214675970 Hitoshi Ariga on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Espathra appears to be based on an {{wp|ostrich}}. Based on its appearance and names in every language, it also seems to take inspiration from the Egyptian queen {{wp|Cleopatra}}. The connection between ostriches, psychic powers, and Egyptian motifs may ultimately reference {{wp|Maat}}, the personification of truth in ancient Egyptian mythology whose symbol was the ostrich feather. The feathers on Espathra's head may be inspired by a {{wp|nemes}} or a {{wp|mantilla}}. Its body plumage may be inspired by {{wp|Rococo}} fashion in the 17th century, which featured multilayered and frilled dresses for women. Cleopatra along with other historical figures used to be depicted in the contemporary fashion in late Renaissance and early-modern art. The shiny coloration of Espathra further refers to reimagined Egyptian costumes in modern media.

====Name origin====

'''Chatter''' (Japanese: '''おしゃべり''' ''Chatter'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Chatot}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{MoveResearch|Confusion chance in Battle Revolution (IV only)}}
Chatter inflicts damage and can {{status|Confusion|confuse}} the target.

In Generations IV and V, the player can record audio on this move by using it as a [[field move]], which affects its chance of inflicting confusion. If Chatter has recorded audio (via its [[field move]] functionality), that audio will play for the move's sound effect instead of Chatot's regular cry.

Chatter is a [[sound-based move]].

Chatter can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

====Generation IV====
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is 1%. If it has recorded audio, its chance of inflicting confusion is 1%, 11% or 31% ([[#Calculation|depending on the recording]]). Chatter will always have a 0% chance to confuse if used by a Pokémon other than Chatot.

The odds of confusion are not affected by {{a|Serene Grace}}, but are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}.

====Generation V====
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is now 0%. If it has recorded audio, its chance of inflicting confusion is 0% or 10% ([[#Calculation|depending on the recording]]).

The confusion odds are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{a|Sheer Force}}, and the combined effect of {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

====Generation VI to VIII====
Chatter's power was changed from 60 to 65.

Chatter deals damage and now always confuses the target.

Chatter can no longer be used outside of battle to record sound. Despite the removal of its field move functionality, Chatter still cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}}; however, it can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Chatter cannot be selected in a battle.

====Generation IX====
Chatter cannot be selected in a battle.

===Outside of battle===
In Generations IV and V, Chatter can be used as a [[field move]] to record audio using the [[Nintendo DS]]'s microphone. This audio will then play as Chatot's cry, as well as when Chatot uses Chatter. Audio recorded for Chatter gets distorted, possibly as a failsafe to prevent inappropriate language from being played back.

If Chatot is deposited in the [[PC]], the recorded audio is reset to Chatot's default cry.

==Calculation==
In Generation IV and V, the chance of inflicting {{status|confusion}} depends on the volume of the recording.

===Generation IV===
Generally, the higher the volume of the recording is, the higher the chance of confusion. The recording is stored as a 1000-byte structure within the game as a 4-bit PCM ({{wp|pulse-code modulation}}) recording. When a sound is recorded, 1984 8-bit {{wp|Sampling (signal processing)|samples}} of microphone input are taken at roughly 2000 samples per second. 16 zero bytes are appended onto the end of this recording to create a 2000 byte 8-bit PCM recording, which is then downsized to a 4-bit PCM recording via a translation table:

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{flying color}}; border:3px solid #{{flying color dark}}"
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | 8-bit
| -128
| -127 to -112
| -111 to -96
| -95 to -80
| -79 to -64
| -63 to -48
| -47 to -32
| -31 to -16
| -15 to 15
| 16 to 31
| 32 to 47
| 48 to 63
| 64 to 79
| 80 to 95
| 96 to 111
| 112 to 127
|-
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | 4-bit
| 0
| 1
| 2
| 3
| 4
| 5
| 6
| 7
| 8
| 9
| 10
| 11
| 12
| 13
| 14
| 15
|}

To pack two 4-bit samples into a byte, the first sample takes up the lower four bits and the second sample takes up the upper four bits. Now, depending on the value of the 16th byte in the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording (corresponding to the 31st and 32nd samples from the original), the chance of confusion is as follows:

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{flying color}}; border:3px solid #{{flying color dark}}"
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Value
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Volume
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Confusion odds
|-
| -31 or less || Medium || 11%
|-
| -30 to 29 || Low || 1%
|-
| 30 or more
| High
| 31%
|}

The volume level roughly corresponding to the specific values are given in the table. Note that since the sample is near the beginning of the recording, it is not necessary to maintain a high volume throughout the recording.

====Generation V====
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is 0%.

Generation V games record 8000 8-bit samples at 8000 samples per second for its recordings, and convert every fourth sample taken from these, starting with the first sample, to the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording in the same manner as that of Generation IV. However, instead of one byte determining the confusion odds, the {{wp|exclusive or}} of three bytes, the 100th, 500th, and 700th bytes (corresponding to the 397th, 401st, 1997th, 2001st, 2797th and 2801st samples of the original recording), are taken. The odds of confusion are calculated as follows:

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{flying color}}; border:3px solid #{{flying color dark}}"
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Value
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Volume
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Confusion odds
|-
| 99 or less || Medium || 10%
|-
| 100 to 149 || Low || 0%
|-
| 150 or more
| High
| 10%
|}

Thus, it is necessary to maintain medium or high volume in roughly the first quarter-second for the maximum odds of confusion.

==Trivia==
* Chatter is one of only a few moves in the [[core series]] that can not be {{m|Sketch}}ed. This is presumably because, as a field move, if Chatter is used by a Pokémon other than {{p|Chatot}}, that Pokémon's cry will not be temporarily changed to the recorded version even if audio is recorded. This is because recording audio via Chatter is programmed to switch Chatter's user to its alternative cry, and only Chatot is programmed to have its alternative cry read from the audio data. Despite all of this, Chatter still cannot be Sketched even in [[Generation VI|Generations VI]], {{gen|VII}} and {{gen|VIII}}, where vocals can no longer be recorded.
* Prior to the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Chatot was banned from the Pokémon [[Global Battle Union]], presumably because of Chatter being abused to record vulgar words and phrases. This abuse is also presumably the reason for the ability to record audio for the move being removed, starting with Generation VI.
** In {{g|X and Y}}, Chatter's description mentions the field move functionality, despite the fact Chatter could no longer be used for recording sound. This was rectified starting in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
* Chatter is the only {{type|Flying}} [[sound-based move]].
* Chatter is the only non-[[HM]] [[field move]] in the original {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} to not be a field move in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

'''Brambleghast''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アノホラグサ''' ''Anohoragusa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bramblin}} when [[level|leveled up]] while outside of its [[Poké Ball]] after the player walks 1000 [[step counting|steps]] using the [[Let's Go!]] feature.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1678027317891694593</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1680044846403272704</ref>

==Biology==
Brambleghast is a tumbleweed-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is similar to its pre-Evolution {{p|Bramblin}}, only larger and with more thorns. Most of the branches that compose its loose, spherical body are brownish yellow with light purple tips on top, while the base of its body and its center front branch are entirely dark brown.

The center front branch has two smaller branches near its base, which together with Brambleghast's eyes form a face. The two smaller branches act as Brambleghast's "lips", which can move to form expressions such as grinning or frowning. Brambleghast has small, diamond-shaped, leaf-like eyes; the right eye is black with a thin red pupil, and vice versa for the left eye. Each eye is surrounded by what appears to be a much smaller tumbleweed made of three stalks. The eyes don't blink and instead flip and rotate to express Brambleghast's emotions.

Brambleghast catches prey using its branches, completely enveloping them. Once accomplished, it will not let go of the prey until it absorbs all the life energy it needs. Brambleghast lives in arid regions such as deserts, where the wind tumbles and rolls it around. There are rare occasions of massive outbreaks of Brambleghast, which can bury entire towns.

===Evolution===
Brambleghast evolves from {{p|Bramblin}}.

====Major appearances====
Brambleghast debuted in ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', under the ownership of [[Shine]]. It evolved from {{p|Bramblin}} in order to break free from its imprisonment by a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}}.

====Minor appearances====

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Brambleghast (TCG)}}

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Brambleghast appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Brambleghast's Ghost type and Ability. Some tumbleweed species are capable of causing outbreaks, like the {{wp|hairy panic}}. Brambleghast's secondary {{t|Ghost}} type may also be derived from the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|ghost town}}s and empty deserts.

All of this also suggest that Brambleghast may be strongly based on the [https://murciaplaza.com/animales-fantasticos-murcianos%20Animales%20fantásticos%20murcianos Alicornio], a demon from the {{wp|Region of Murcia|Murcian}} folklore that hides himself on an tumbleweed and appears on days of strong winds to snatch the souls of the passersby.

The way it feeds on its prey by enveloping them inside and releasing them after fully consumed may be inspired by the feeding habits of {{wp|jellyfish}} and other {{wp|cnidarians}}.

====Name origin====
Brambleghast may be a combination of ''bramble'' and ''[[Wiktionary:ghastly|ghastly]]'', ''[[Wiktionary:ghast|ghast]]'' (a name used for various types of undead in fantasy fiction), or ''aghast''.

Anohoragusa may be derived from the phrase あのほら草 ''ano hora kusa'' ("Um... Look! Grass") and ''horror''.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Bertha anime.png|thumb|250px|Bertha in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Bertha was first mentioned by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the other members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] and the {{pkmn|Champion|League Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}}. She was mentioned again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by an [[Officer Jenny]].

She physically appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', where she, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, helped [[Roland]] get his {{p|Magby}} back from {{TRT}}. After chasing them with her {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}}, the group battled Team Rock and Roland was reunited with Magby. Later, Bertha had a {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash, using her {{p|Hippowdon}} against his {{AP|Torterra}}, and she managed to defeat him.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
She made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Bertha has a strong advocacy for observant attitudes in everyday life and spent the entirety of the episode she appeared in to advise the group on their observation skills. For example, when she commented that {{an|Dawn}} should pay attention as well, since it would assist her in her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Bertha views observation skills as useful tools not only in battles and Contests, but also in everyday life. She also prefers to keep her identity as one of [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Elite Four]] a secret because she doesn't like the expectations attached to the title.

====Pokémon====

However, Hippowdon went underground once again and managed to attack Torterra a few more times, defeating it.

Hippowdon briefly appeared alongside Bertha during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Hippowdon's known moves are {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}.}}

==Trivia==
* As noted by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]] in {{B2W2}} in the form of a [[Shauntal/Quotes|quote]] from her novel during the {{player}}'s post-[[National Pokédex]] challenge, Bertha and [[Agatha]] are very similar in appearance and name (both in English and Japanese). However, the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.
** Furthermore, they both are part of their [[region]]s's Elite Four, and their Japanese names both contain 菊 ''kiku'' (chrysanthemum).
** This is further corroborated by {{hi|Charm}} of the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]], who herself bears a resemblance to both of them, and whose [[Party|team]] is composed of {{p|Rhydon}} (from the same evolutionary line as Bertha's ace in {{game|Platinum}}) and {{p|Gengar}} (Agatha's main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}).
* While her Hippowdon is invariably female in the games and in [[Pokémon Adventures]], it shows male coloration in other media—namely the {{Trading Card Game}} and {{pkmn|animation}}.
* Bertha and [[Volkner]] are the only major Trainers in {{aniseries|DP}} to use a Pokémon from their in-game Platinum teams.
* Bertha is the only Sinnoh Elite Four member who was not seen battling {{an|Cynthia}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* In her initial Pokémon Platinum team, Bertha uses a [[level]] 55 {{p|Rhyperior}} that knows {{m|Rock Wrecker}}, which it cannot [[Game move errors|normally learn]] until level 61 and not even by {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Bertha is the first female Ground-type specialist in the series, as well as the first Ground-type Elite Four member.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Bertha anime.png|thumb|250px|Bertha in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Bertha was first mentioned by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the other members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]] and the {{pkmn|Champion|League Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}}. She was mentioned again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by an [[Officer Jenny]].

She physically appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', where she, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, helped [[Roland]] get his {{p|Magby}} back from {{TRT}}. After chasing them with her {{wp|Sport utility vehicle|SUV}}, the group battled Team Rock and Roland was reunited with Magby. Later, Bertha had a {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash, using her {{p|Hippowdon}} against his {{AP|Torterra}}, and she managed to defeat him.

====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
She made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Bertha has a strong advocacy for observant attitudes in everyday life and spent the entirety of the episode she appeared in to advise the group on their observation skills. For example, when she commented that {{an|Dawn}} should pay attention as well, since it would assist her in her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. Bertha views observation skills as useful tools not only in battles and Contests, but also in everyday life. She also prefers to keep her identity as one of [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Elite Four]] a secret because she doesn't like the expectations attached to the title.

Hippowdon often went underground and then attacked Torterra with a different [[move]] upon resurfacing. Despite this, Ash asked Torterra to sense Hippowdon when he was underground, managing to attack him with {{m|Leaf Storm}}. However, Hippowdon went underground once again and managed to attack Torterra a few more times, defeating it.

Hippowdon briefly appeared alongside Bertha during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Hippowdon's known moves are {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, and {{m|Fire Fang}}.}}

==Trivia==
* As noted by [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]] in {{B2W2}} in the form of a [[Shauntal/Quotes|quote]] from her novel during the {{player}}'s post-[[National Pokédex]] challenge, Bertha and [[Agatha]] are very similar in appearance and name (both in English and Japanese). However, the relationship between them, if any, is unknown.
** Furthermore, they both are part of their [[region]]s's Elite Four, and their Japanese names both contain 菊 ''kiku'' (chrysanthemum).
** This is further corroborated by {{hi|Charm}} of the [[Miss Fortunes|Miss Fortune sisters]], who herself bears a resemblance to both of them, and whose [[Party|team]] is composed of {{p|Rhydon}} (from the same evolutionary line as Bertha's ace in {{game|Platinum}}) and {{p|Gengar}} (Agatha's main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}).
* While her Hippowdon is invariably female in the games and in [[Pokémon Adventures]], it shows male coloration in other media—namely the {{Trading Card Game}} and {{pkmn|animation}}.
* Bertha and [[Volkner]] are the only major Trainers in {{aniseries|DP}} to use a Pokémon from their in-game Platinum teams.
* Bertha is the only Sinnoh Elite Four member who was not seen battling {{an|Cynthia}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}.
* In her initial Pokémon Platinum team, Bertha uses a [[level]] 55 {{p|Rhyperior}} that knows {{m|Rock Wrecker}}. This is [[Game move errors|normally not possible]], as Rhyperior only learns this move at level 61 and never by {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Bertha is the first female Ground-type specialist in the series, as well as the first Ground-type Elite Four member.

List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

2025-09-08T02:50:01Z

Gust4vo:

This is a reverse-chronological '''list of event Pokémon distributions''' that were given away via the various Mystery Gift function in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. A subscription to [[Nintendo Switch Online]] is not required to claim [[Mystery Gift]]s on Nintendo Switch games.

Events can be distributed to the game in 3 ways: Internet events can be received without the need to input any password or serial code. Serial "codes" are one-time use codes. "Passwords" are codes that can be used by any number of people, but are usually limited to one redemption per save file.

Prior to patch 2.0.1, Pokémon redeemed in Generation IX would always have a secret ID of 0000 (unless they were set to use the receiving player's Trainer ID). Historically, the secret ID was identical to the Wonder Card ID, and the Wonder Card data for Generation IX still defines the secret ID as the Wonder Card ID; however, {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} version 1.3.2 and earlier was programmed to nullify this when the Wonder Card ID was equal to the Secret ID.

Some Patches changed how the game reads Wonder Card data, as such a Pokémon redeemed before these patches may have different characteristics than a Pokémon redeemed after these patches:
* Patch 1.2.0 (released February 27, 2023) affected how scale data is read on the Wonder Card, before this patch all Pokémon received through Mystery Gift would have their [[Size and weight variation|scale value]] assigned randomly between 0 and 255 upon redemption. With the Patch Blocks were added to the Wonder Card data to enable the scale value to be fixed, which most events post this patch take advantage of.
* Patch 1.3.0 (released April 20, 2023) affected how nicknames are assigned. Prior to the patch, if a specific nickname was not defined in the Wonder Card, a Pokémon's nickname would default to the default name of the Pokémon in the language that the player receiving the event is playing in. With this patch, unless defined otherwise in the Wonder Card, a Pokémon's nickname will always default to the Pokémon's name that would be expected based on the origin language of the Pokémon redeemed (e.g., a Japanese Pikachu on an English save would have a default nickname of "Pikachu" before 1.3.0 and "ピカチュウ" after the patch).

A {{wp|zero-width space}} character is present at the end of Patrick's Trainer name.<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1857836790209532002</ref><ref>https://x.com/Atrius97/status/1858205649752252822</ref> This character is not possible to enter on any version of the Nintendo Switch keyboard. Because of this invalid character, [[Trade|trading]] this Pokémon triggers the "badword filter"/anti-cheat measures, causing the Trainer name to be overwritten.<ref>https://x.com/mamamia10012/status/1857760946204148010</ref> This effect occurs in {{g|HOME}}, and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, although the result varies:
* If traded in HOME, the resulting name will become "HOME".

* If traded in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, the resulting name will differ depending on the game version and savefile language of the recipient.
** If the recipient game is Brilliant Diamond, the result will be "Diamond" (or the localized equivalent for the given savefile language).
** If the recipient game is Shining Pearl, the result will be "Pearl" (or the localized equivalent for the given savefile language).

===Pokémon Center Birthday Flabébé===
[[File:PC Bday 2022 Promo.jpeg|thumb|250px|Japanese Pokémon Center promotional banner]]
[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/10/221007_p01.html This] Flabébé was distributed via [[serial code]] to players of all Generation IX games at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores across Japan and Singapore if they visited during the month of their birthday, but only if they provided proof of their date of birth and Nintendo Switch. The codes were distributed from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023. Players can use these single use codes in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. This Pokémon has Japanese tags unless redeemed in an English game. Flabébé's nickname isn't locked; as such, this can glitch when redeemed on Chinese or Korean save files.

Due to a glitch, if this Flabébé is claimed in a savefile with a language other than English or Japanese, the [[nickname]] becomes locked to its base [[Evolution]]'s name, even if evolved to Floette.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1602862595106607104</ref>

Flabébé's Wonder Card was replaced on February 3, 2023 at approximately 10:30 UTC at the same time as that of the {{DL|List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Flying Terastal Pikachu}}. Unlike Pikachu, when this happened, Flabébé's height and weight values remained unchanged. This was done, due to a change in how patch 1.2.0 handles scale values:<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1642033720067604480]</ref> the old Wonder Card would have locked Flabébé's scale value to 29 had it still been live when patch 1.2.0 launched. With this change, Flabebé's scale value remains randomly generated.

===Flying Terastal Pikachu===
[[File:Terastal Pikachu artwork.png|thumb|250px|Terastallized Pikachu Promotional art]]
[https://sv-news.pokemon.co.jp/en/page/1.html This] {{p|Pikachu}} with a [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera type]] of {{t|Flying}} can be received in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} via [[Mystery Gift]] as an early purchase gift from November 18, 2022 to February 28, 2023. This Pikachu knows the move {{m|Fly}}. Despite the player being its original Trainer, it cannot be nicknamed.

Pikachu redeemed prior to February 3, 2023 could only be male and had both height and weight values fixed at 128; however, the size value, (which determines actual model size and Mini/Jumbo Mark eligibility), was not fixed to any specific value.

On February 3rd at approximately 10:30 UTC, Pikachu's Wonder Card was replaced. Any Pikachu redeemed after this time was no longer gender-locked to be exclusively male, and now had a chance to be female. Additionally, Pikachu redeemed after this point also have both height and weight values of 0 rather than 128. This replacement Wonder Card also mitigated the effect of a change in how patch 1.2.0 handles scale values:<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1642033720067604480]</ref> the old Wonder Card would have locked Pikachu's scale value to 29 for the final day of the distribution had it still been live when patch 1.2.0 launched. With this change, Pikachu's scale value remained randomly generated.

'''Krokorok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワルビル''' ''Waruvile'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sandile}} starting at [[level]] 29 and evolves into {{p|Krookodile}} starting at level 40.

==Biology==
Krokorok is a reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mostly tan body, pink stomach, black back, and long tail. It is classified as a quadruped, though it is more often seen on two legs. It has six thick, black stripes on its body: one at shoulder level, one around its midsection, one around its hips, and three on its tail. Each stripe is topped with a triangular spike on its back. The stripes around its midsection cross two spikes, one on each side of its back. Its arms are short and thin, with a black band around them at the elbow. Each hand contains three short fingers, each with a white claw. Its legs are thick with a band around each ankle, and a stripe above the knee that does not wrap around. Its flat feet each have three white claws. Krokorok's head is ovoid with a long snout, and small eyes surrounded by a thick black membrane. Two of its front and rear teeth are visible overlapping its lower jaw. A black stripe sits on the bridge of the snout just behind its large nostrils.

Krokorok prefers to live in the desert, usually in small groups. The black membrane surrounding its eyes protects them from sandstorms and acts as a thermal detector. This allows Krokorok to see the temperature of different objects, which also gives it exceptional night vision. This enables it to hunt in the dead of night without getting lost. However, it never moves much during the night. A group of Krokorok usually consists of a few individuals. The group is led by a female Krokorok while the males gather food. Krokorok dislikes feeling cold, so it burrows into the desert sand at night. It tends to bury its prey in the sand to preserve them in the event of an unsuccessful hunt.

===Evolution===
Krokorok evolves from {{p|Sandile}} and evolves into {{p|Krookodile}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Krokorok is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 351.
* Almost all of Krokorok's stats are ten points higher than Sandile's stats; the only exception is {{stat|Speed}}, which is just higher by 9 points.

===Origin===
Krokorok seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|nile crocodile}}. It could also be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. The black membrane surrounding its eyes could be a reference to {{Wp|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-vision_device|night goggles}}.

====Name origin====
Krokorok may be a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'', ''rock'', and ''crook''.

Waruvile may be a combination of 悪い ''warui'' (bad/evil/sinful), ''crocodile'', and possibly ''{{wp|gavial}}''.

==Biology==
Krokorok is a reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mostly tan body, pink stomach, black back, and long tail. It is classified as a quadruped, though it is more often seen on two legs. It has six thick, black stripes on its body: one at shoulder level, one around its midsection, one around its hips, and three on its tail. Each stripe is topped with a triangular spike on its back. The stripes around its midsection cross two spikes, one on each side of its back. Its arms are short and thin, with a black band around them at the elbow. Each hand contains three short fingers, each with a white claw. Its legs are thick with a band around each ankle, and a stripe above the knee that does not wrap around. Its flat feet each have three white claws. Krokorok's head is ovoid with a long snout, and small eyes surrounded by a thick black membrane. Two of its front and rear teeth are visible overlapping its lower jaw. A black stripe sits on the bridge of the snout just behind its large nostrils.

Krokorok prefers to live in the desert, usually in small groups. The black membrane surrounding its eyes protects them from sandstorms and acts as a thermal detector. This allows Krokorok to see the temperature of different objects, which also gives it exceptional night vision. This enables it to hunt in the dead of night without getting lost. However, it never moves much during the night. A group of Krokorok usually consists of a few individuals. The group is led by a female Krokorok while the males gather food. Krokorok dislikes feeling cold, so it burrows into the desert sand at night. It tends to bury its prey in the sand to preserve them in the event of an unsuccessful hunt.

===Evolution===
Krokorok evolves from {{p|Sandile}} and evolves into {{p|Krookodile}}.

==Trivia==
* Krokorok is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 351.
* Almost all of Krokorok's stats are ten points higher than Sandile's stats; the only exception is {{stat|Speed}}, which is just higher by 9 points.

===Origin===
Krokorok seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|nile crocodile}}. It could also be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. The black membrane surrounding its eyes could be a reference to [[wp:Night-vision_device|night goggles]].

====Name origin====
Krokorok may be a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'', ''rock'', and ''crook''.

Waruvile may be a combination of 悪い ''warui'' (bad/evil/sinful), ''crocodile'', and possibly ''{{wp|gavial}}''.

'''Sandile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メグロコ''' ''Meguroco'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 29, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}} starting at level 40.

==Biology==
Sandile is a short, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long snout and tail. Its body is mostly light brown with the exception of black stripes crossing over and under its legs and its pink underbelly. It has a black stripe on its snout in front of its eyes, and black covering the tip of its tail. Its eyes resemble shaded binoculars and are shrouded in a black membrane all around their front. This membrane prevents sand from getting in Sandile's eyes and helps it see in the harsh desert sun. Its long snout is tipped by two protruding nostrils, and its mouth comprises the bottom half. Its feet are flat and contain three sharp, black claws. They are attached to stubby legs on its sides.

Sandile is only found in deserts, with the exception of [[Alola]], where the warm environment is comfortable enough for them to appear elsewhere. It usually burrows under the surface of the sand, with only its nose and eyes appearing above ground. Due to being so close to the surface, it can move around the desert and allow the heat of the sand to regulate its body temperature. This also serves as a way of hiding from enemies. Its movement through sand has been described as being similar to swimming. When the sun sets, it burrows deep into the sand to sleep until sunrise. As seen in the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', in the wild, Sandile can be mischievous and potentially troublesome to humans. However, Sandile will protect another of its species, and can be caring at times. Sandile is an ambush predator, hiding under the sand and waiting for unwary prey, such as {{p|Trapinch}}, to walk over it before it bites on their legs. However, Sandile is not very skilled at hunting prey, thus it also mostly eats anything that collapses in the desert; hence it has been known as "the cleaner of the desert."

===Evolution===
Sandile evolves into {{p|Krokorok}}, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Sandile seems to be based on a baby {{wp|crocodile}}; specifically, it has traits from the {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}}, {{wp|spectacled caiman}}, and the {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The marking around the eyes resembles a mask or sunglasses. Sandile's movement through sand being described as similar to swimming may reference the {{wp|Scincus scincus|sandfish skink}}, named so because it is capable of burrowing and moving through sand as if it is swimming.

====Name origin====
Sandile may be a combination of ''{{wp|sand}}'', ''{{wp|crocodile}}'', and possibly a play on ''sandal'' (footwear).

Meguroco may be a combination of 目黒 ''meguro'' (black-eyed) and ''crocodile''.

'''Krookodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワルビアル''' ''Waruvial'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 40. It is the final form of {{p|Sandile}}.

==Biology==
Krookodile is a crocodilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a thick maroon-colored body, black back, and white stomach. It has five triangular spikes on its back: four around the middle of its back and one large one at the beginning of its tail. All of the smaller spikes on its back are linked to black, triangular spikes that reach around to its front, slightly overlapping its white stomach. The largest spike sits at the beginning of its long thick tail, which has three, thick, black stripes. The last stripe covers the tip of the tail. Its legs are very short and directly attached to its feet. The feet are wrapped in black and have three white claws facing forward. Krookodile's arms are short and thin with a black stripe around the elbow. Its long, thin fingers are each tipped with a white claw.

Its head is slightly pointed and contains a distinctive black membrane that surrounds both eyes. The outline of the membrane angles upward sharply, coming to points above the top of Krookodile's head. It uses this distinctive look to harshly intimidate opponents. Its eyes are very powerful, with variable focus, allowing it to see things at a great distance, even in the middle of a desert. Its other notable feature is its long snout, containing a black stripe around the bridge, and large pointed nostrils on the end. Four of its rear and two of its front teeth slightly overlap its lower jaw. Krookodile's jaws are extremely powerful, giving it the ability to crush objects as large and durable as an automobile. The jaws can twist a body before breaking it in half. These features are topped by Krookodile's extremely violent temper. It has been known to clamp down on any moving object and will do everything it can to make sure its prey cannot escape. Krookodile coexists well with {{p|Flygon}} in searching for food, hiding in the sandstorms that Flygon creates as they hunt, then splitting the prey that they manage to catch.

Krookodile has been known as the "Bully of the Sands". It uses the sandy terrain as cover to patiently wait for prey to pass by, even throughout the day without rest. Krookodile can swim through the desert sands as if they were water. Not even a thick metal plate is able to withstand a Krookodile's strong jaw bite.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], {{m|Power Trip}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Krookodile evolves from {{p|Krokorok}} and is the final form of {{p|Sandile}}.

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Rumble Blast}}: Krookodile is one of the first of {{p|Cobalion}}'s minions that the player encounters. It steals all of [[Toy Town]] and [[Easterly Town]]'s [[Glowdrop]]s, and is later beaten by the player in the {{DL|Sun-Dappled Bank|Mysterious Fort}}. It is later seen in the World Axle Front, where it is [[Rusty Pokémon|rusted]] like the rest of Cobalion's army.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: {{OBP|Krookodile|Super Mystery Dungeon}} is a local gangster in [[Lively Town]]. When warning letters start appearing around town stating that [[Legendary Pokémon]] are the targets of petrification incidents and that {{p|Entei}} would be the next target, the [[Expedition Society]] soon suspects Krookodile is behind the incidents. After the player, partner, and {{p|Archen}} pursue Krookodile to the top of [[Revelation Mountain]], it is revealed that it was a trap set up by Nuzleaf and that he paid Krookodile to write the letters. Nuzleaf then "rewards" Krookodile for his good work by turning him to stone. During the post-game, this experience is shown to have humbled Krookodile, and he now works as a part-time assistant for {{p|Miltank}} during her [[Moomoo Milk]] deliveries.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Nanu Krookodile.png|thumb|250px|Krookodile in {{aniseries|SM}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Krookodile]]=====
In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris, and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', {{Ash}}'s Krokorok evolved into a Krookodile during a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Iris's Dragonite]].

=====Other=====
Krookodile made its animated series debut in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Jules|BW082}}. Jules used Krookodile whilst making a film that starred the two of them.

In ''[[XY081|Rotom's Wish!]]'', [[Mantle]] used a Krookodile in a battle against [[Weston]] and his {{p|Rotom}} for ownership of the [[Lost Hotel]]. It was eventually defeated despite fighting a hard-fought battle.

In ''[[SM074|Tough Guy Trials!]]'', [[Nanu]] used a Krookodile in a battle against Ash, where it was able to defeat {{AP|Lycanroc}}. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', it was used in Nanu's grand trial against Ash, during which it was defeated by Lycanroc.

A Krookodile appeared in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]''. Unlike any other Krookodile, this Krookodile has pink eyelashes.

====Minor appearances====
Krookodile debuted during the ''World of Pokémon'' introduction in ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''.

{{-}}

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

==Trivia==
* Outside of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Krookodile is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 519.

===Origin===
Like its pre-Evolutions, Krookodile appears to be based on {{wp|crocodile}}s, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|nile crocodile}}, and possibly a {{wp|gharial}}, due to its long snout. Krookodile also seems to be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a crocodilian. Due to its {{t|Ground}} type, it may also be based on the ancient {{wp|Quinkana}}, an extinct terrestrial crocodilian that once lived in Australia.

In line with its {{t|Dark}} type, it may also be based on a gang leader. Its typing could also alude to its aggressive and cunning hunting methods. Its ability to spot things from a distance and at a diverse focus range could be a reference to tactical [[wp:Binoculars|binoculars]] used during field missions.

====Name origin====
Krookodile may be a combination of corruptions of ''crook'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waruvial may be a combination of 悪い ''warui'' (bad/evil) and ''{{wp|gavial}}''.

Villainous team

2025-09-06T22:50:57Z

Gust4vo: /* Team GO Rocket */

[[File:Masters Villain Arc Final Chapter artwork.png|thumb|250px|Villainous team leaders and other antagonists in {{g|Masters EX}}]]
'''Villainous teams''', also officially referred to as '''villainous organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|悪|あく}}の{{ruby|組織|きそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations'') or '''sinister organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|敵組織|てきそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations''; officially ''secret teams''), are typically {{wp|organized crime}} groups which serve as the main antagonists in the storylines of [[Pokémon games]]. They are also often major antagonists in story arcs of the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing most have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Their names usually follow the pattern '''Team ~''' (Japanese: '''{{j|～{{ruby|団|だん}}}}''' ''-dan'') e.g. [[Team Rocket]] (Japanese: ロケット{{ruby|団|だん}} ''Rocket-dan'').

Despite the name, villainous teams, particularly in later [[generation]]s, are not always outright villainous or malicious in their intentions. Additionally, similar organizations may fill a villainous role instead, such as parts of the [[Aether Foundation]] and [[Macro Cosmos]].

==Overview==
Villainous teams in the [[core series]] have many aspects in common. Their structure generally includes, in order of rank, a leader, one or more [[Admin]]s, and a number of anonymous [[grunt]]s. Some teams have additional levels of authority within them, such as [[Team Flare]]'s scientists, as well as additional members and associated individuals who do not fit into the hierarchy at all, such as [[Gladion]], who works with [[Team Skull]] but is not a "member" per se.

Most core series games have only one core team or organization acting in a villainous capacity. Typically, the player character encounters the villainous team many times over the course of their adventure. They often first encounter grunts early in the game, often involved in a small act of villainy unrelated to the team's broader goals. As the player's adventure continues, they meet more of the team's members and uncover more of its secrets and aims, culminating in one or more encounters with the team's boss. Finally, toward the end of the game, the player foils the team's scheme. In most games — with the exception of {{game|Black and White|s}} — this happens before the end of the player's journey to the [[Pokémon League]].

Other [[canon]]s outside of the core series, such as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, have created very different interpretations of villainous teams.

In later [[generation]]s, villainous teams are generally less overtly villainous, criminal, or malicious in nature, such as [[Team Yell]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, which are merely overzealous fans of [[Marnie]], and whose boss, [[Piers]], is largely ignorant to the trouble they've been causing. [[Team Star]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, while initially rambunctious and often breaking the school's rules, are found to mainly just be misunderstood, and are given the opportunity to reintegrate and help out at the school.

Additionally, the main antagonists of a game may be affiliated with a different organization altogether, such as a faction of the [[Aether Foundation]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}} or [[Macro Cosmos]] in Pokémon Sword and Shield. In this way, the initial villainous team encountered by the player may serve as more of a {{wp|red herring}}, disguising the true villain of the game's story.

While {{g|Legends: Arceus}} lacks a traditional villainous team, the [[Galaxy Team]] acts as a predecessor to [[Team Galactic]], and various groups with differing goals are encountered throughout the game, including the [[Miss Fortunes]], which, while serving a more overtly antagonistic role, are not the main villains of the game.

[[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and [[Phobos Battalion]] in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], are the only organizations officially referred to as villainous teams that do not appear in the [[core series]]{{fact}} and notably do not closely adhere to the standard pattern and trends of those teams, having various similarities and differences.

==List of villainous teams==

{{incomplete|section|Manga info of Team Plasma and Team Flare from Pokémon Adventures}}
===[[Team Rocket]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Rocket-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Rocket logo]]
Team Rocket is the villainous team of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions and the [[Sevii Islands]]. The grunts wear black outfits with gray gloves, boots, and belt, while variations of those outfits are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a large, red "R". Their leader is [[Giovanni]]. After Giovanni's disappearance, [[Archer]] took his place.

In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money through methods such as burglary and selling [[Fossil]]s. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by the [[player character]], he resigned from his position and disappeared to train further. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the [[Sevii Islands]] until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], Team Rocket operates as a remnant group under the leadership of [[Executive (Trainer class)|Rocket Executive]] Archer after Giovanni's absence. They engage in unethical activities like selling [[Slowpoke Tail]]s and conducting experiments with radio waves to control Pokémon, resulting in the unnatural [[Evolution]] of {{p|Magikarp}} at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Their attempts to seize control escalate with the takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where they broadcast a plea for Giovanni's return. However, their plans are thwarted by {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Lance]], leading to their ultimate disbandment once again. Meanwhile, Ethan/Lyra [[Time travel|time-travelled]] from the future to that moment with {{P|Celebi}} and encountered Giovanni in his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]], listening to the group's broadcast and planning to meet with them in [[Goldenrod City|Goldenrod]], but after being defeated by them, he gives up and leaves the room, disappearing once again.

==== In animation ====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, usually as the [[Team Rocket trio|bumbling trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. At times, the leader {{an|Giovanni}} as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], have appeared as well. Team Rocket as an organization made separate attacks on the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Unova]], and [[Alola]] regions, failing each time. Their goals are usually capture powerful [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] such as {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, [[Lugia (Silver's parent)|Lugia]], the {{An|Forces of Nature}}, and {{An|Necrozma}}.

==== In the manga ====
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Rocket is depicted as a sinister organization led by {{adv|Giovanni}}. They initially pursue powerful Pokémon, clash with the [[Pokédex holders]], and feature prominent members such as [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Lt. Surge]]. After disbanding several times, the group undergoes multiple revivals under new leadership, including the [[Masked Man]], Giovanni, and the [[Executive (Trainer class)|Rocket Executives]], each pursuing powerful Legendary and Mythical Pokémon such as {{Adv|Tower duo|Lugia}}, {{Adv|Celebi}}, {{Adv|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Magma-logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Magma logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Magma is one of the villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp, while variations of those suits are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a black "M" stylized to look like a volcano. Their leader is [[Maxie]].

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]], and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] and was revealed to have kidnapped Peeko. Later, they are encountered at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Courtney]] in Ruby or [[Tabitha]] in Omega Ruby are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Blue Orb]] (Red Orb in Omega Ruby). They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] in [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Ruby, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Groudon.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], they help the player defeat Team Aqua.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Team Magma is first seen in Meteor Falls, but flees when [[Archie]] and [[Team Aqua]] appear. Like in Ruby and Omega Ruby, they steal the meteorite. They are first fought at Mt. Chimney, and this is the first time [[Tabitha]] and [[Maxie]] are fought. After fighting Team Aqua, who successfully stole the Red Orb, at Mt. Pyre, the player obtains the [[Magma Emblem]], which was dropped by a grunt when Team Magma stole the Blue Orb, and accesses the [[Magma Hideout (Jagged Pass)|hideout]]. However, in this game, it's located in [[Jagged Pass]] instead of being near Lilycove City in Ruby and Omega Ruby. After defeating many grunts and Tabitha, the player witnesses Maxie awaken Groudon, but it flees, and they then fight Maxie for the second time. After earning the Mind Badge, they are fought at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] for the last time. After defeating a few grunts, the player teams up with [[Steven Stone]] and defeat Maxie and Tabitha in a Double Battle. They are also seen after Archie awakens Kyogre in the Seafloor Cavern and is defeated by the player. The two leaders are in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and Groudon. After that, they are seen returning the respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.

==== In animation ====
Team Magma made their first appearance in {{aniseries|PTS}} in the {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire'' series}} episode ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''. It's later revealed that they captured Kyogre, which was freed by [[Shelly]] in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', allowing Archie to take control of it with the Red Orb. They then help the heroes stop the battle between the Super Ancient Pokémon and bring Archie back to his senses.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} arc of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Magma was shown to be lesser threat compared to Team Aqua as both teams go on a race to try and find the Red and Blue Orbs before each other so they can go on with their plans. Both Maxie and Archie were controlled by Groudon and Kyogre respectively and abandoned their original goals, only wanting to cause destruction across the region instead. After the orbs were separated from them, Maxie's body broke down, which resulted in his eventual death. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} arc, Maxie returned from the dead and reformed Team Magma as "Neo Team Magma", with the new goal of saving the world from a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteor]].
{{-}}

===[[Team Aqua]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Aqua-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Aqua logo]]
Team Aqua is one of the villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear blue, white, and black thorn costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits, while variations of those costumes are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a white "A" stylized to look like skull and bones. Their leader is [[Archie]].

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], their main goal is to reduce the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], and is revealed to have kidnapped [[Peeko]]. Later, they are seen at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]] and use it to try to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to become dormant. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]] (Blue Orb in Alpha Sapphire). They then return to [[Slateport City]] to steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed until after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Sapphire, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Kyogre.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], they help the player defeat Team Magma.

In {{game|Emerald}}, a single grunt is encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] with a second encounter ending in [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. As a group, they are first seen at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. At [[Meteor Falls]] they cause [[Team Magma]] to flee. They are seen fighting Team Magma at Mt. Chimney. Later, they are seen again when the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]]. After many grunts and [[Matt]] are defeated, they are seen traveling to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Red Orb to awaken Kyogre. After defeating many grunts and [[Shelly]], Archie is seen awakening Kyogre, but it flees and is fought and defeated by the player. Archie and [[Maxie]] are seen in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}}. After this, the two leaders are seen returning their respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.

==== In animation ====
Team Aqua made their first appearance in {{aniseries|PTS}} in the {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire'' series}} episode ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''. It's later revealed that they captured Groudon, which was freed by Pikachu under the effects of the Blue Orb. Archie gain control of Kyogre through the Red Orb, but was stopped by Groudon.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Aqua was shown to be a bigger threat compared to Team Magma as both teams go on a race to try and find the Red and Blue Orbs before each other so they can go on with their plans. Both Maxie and Archie were controlled by Groudon and Kyogre respectively and abandoned their original goals, only wanting to cause destruction across the region instead. After the orbs were separated from them, their bodies started to break down, but in the {{MangaArc|Emerald}}, [[Archie]] managed to slow down the process thanks to an armor set and disbanded Team Aqua as he assumed a [[Guile Hideout|new identity]]. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Archie returned from the dead and reformed Team Aqua as the now "Neo Team Aqua", with the new goal of saving the world from a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteor]].

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Galactic-logo.png|thumb|x100px|left|Team Galactic logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Galactic is the villainous team of the [[Sinnoh]] region. The grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits, while variations of that suit are worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (possibly resembling a spiral galaxy). Their leader is [[Cyrus]].

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], Cyrus wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image or spiritless with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. In Platinum, [[Charon]] is also present. In Platinum, once the player has access to [[Stark Mountain]], [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] are seen at Stark Mountain with Charon attempting to use the power of {{p|Heatran}}, but after being defeated, they leave the team, and Charon is arrested, leaving [[Saturn]] as the only Team Galactic Commander still part of the team.

In {{G|Legends: Arceus}}, it's heavily implied that Team Galactic is connected to the disbanded [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], which had its name and accomplishments passed down to captain [[Cyllene]]'s descendants. Additionally, Cyllene heavily resembles Cyrus himself.

==== In animation ====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. In the end, Team Galactic commented that Team Rocket did a lousy job at it. In their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Saturn acquired the [[Spear Key]] at the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn. Team Galactic also served as the antagonists of ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'' in {{aniseries|JN}}, trying to bring back Cyrus following his disappearance at the end of their original plan.

==== In the manga ====
In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, like in the games, the team is led by Cyrus. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but it was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of its life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] became the new leader and tried to capture {{p|Heatran}}. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters. One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

In the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Galactic has the same goal as in the game. They capture the Lake Guardians and use them to create two Red Chains to summon Dialga and Palkia to create Cyrus's new universe. However, the three Legendary Pokémon were freed by {{Adv|Diamond}}, {{Adv|Pearl}}, and {{Adv|Platinum}} leaving the second Red Chain incomplete. Their plans were ultimately stopped by Giratina, who dragged Cyrus, Dialga, and Palkia into the Distortion World. There, Cyrus had his mind changed by Diamond, abandoning his plan as a result.

===[[Team Plasma]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Plasma-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Plasma logo]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the [[Unova]] region. The grunts' uniform resembled a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]]' are robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their king was [[N]], who was actually used by his adoptive father, [[Ghetsis]], one of the Seven Sages, to reach his goal of taking over the world. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

After the truth of Ghetsis is revealed, Team Plasma is split into two factions: Team Plasma, formed by those who follow N, and "Neo Team Plasma",formed by those who follow Ghetsis . The grunts that supported Ghetsis changed their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that supported N remained in the old uniforms. The leaders of this new team are both [[Colress]] and [[Zinzolin]], another one of the Seven Sages.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{B2W2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the Neo Team Plasma, is led by Colress and Zinzolin. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions. The reformed members and N help the player against the new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

==== In animation ====
Team Plasma's intended {{aniseries|PTS}} debut episodes, [[BW023 (unaired)|BW023]] and [[BW024 (unaired)|BW024]], were postponed due to the {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan and were later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc, but in their new outfits. N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode, where they rescued N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the Unova region.

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:Flare logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Flare logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Flare is the villainous team of the [[Kalos]] region. The grunts' uniform is a mafia-styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits. Variations of those uniforms are also worn by specific members such as the scientists. Their symbol is an "F" stylized like a flame. Their leader is [[Lysandre]].

At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite their claims, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world benefiting only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare attempted to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossil]]s. They also siphoned energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on stole [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves and start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations for this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and a large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies. After the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

==== In animation ====
The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in the {{aniseries|XY}} special ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he interrupted Alain and {{Steven}}'s battle. Team Flare later hatches a plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team is after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named [[Squishy|Z1]] and [[Z2]]. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Team Flare was able to locate Z2 while it and Z1 were communicating, and Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who had nicknamed it Squishy, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 with the help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later conduct experiments on it. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', on the night before the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the [[Lumiose Gym]] to begin setting up their equipment. At the end of ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre arrived at the Lumiose Gym and ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion. In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre televised a message to the citizens of Kalos, describing his plan to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in. Team Flare's plot was ultimately foiled in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after Z2 was freed from its control and Team Flare's [[Giant Rock]] destroyed. Lysandre's fate was unclear after he was engulfed in the same explosion that destroyed the Giant Rock, while the other members were eventually arrested.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Flare planned to use the power of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{P|Yveltal}} to power up the ultimate weapon, but after Xerneas escaped and joined {{Adv|Y}}'s team, they retreated into the [[Pokémon Village]] and decided to power the weapon with the life force of the Pokémon that live there instead.

===[[Team Skull]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Skull-Logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Skull logo]]
Team Skull is the primary villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandannas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion. Their leader is [[Guzma]].

Team Skull's intentions are to simply make enough money to survive. They can be seen around the Alola region, stealing Pokémon and disrupting island life and [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], had once attempted the island challenge, aiming to become a [[Trial Captain|captain]], but failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], Team Skull's Admin, is considered the "big sister" of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her "cute, dumb brothers and sisters". It is eventually revealed by some of their members that the organization is composed of other people who also failed their island challenge. Their enforcer, [[Gladion]], the son of Aether President [[Lusamine]], joined their team to become stronger, though the grunts do not consider him a real member of their team. Their base is located in [[Po Town]]. Throughout the game, Team Skull acts like minor inconveniences towards the player, often causing trouble on their island challenge. [[Lillie]] seems to be a afraid of the group, hiding her {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], in her bag saying that Team Skull is one of the people who may use its power for their own gain. The player encounters Team Skull's notable members several times, Gladion warning them of Cosmog's powers and Plumeria telling them to not get in the way of the relationship she has with her grunts. In [[Malie City]], it is revealed that Guzma and Professor Kukui have history, with Guzma being uninterested in his [[Pokémon League]]. Team Skull eventually finds out what is in Lillie's bag and brings her to her mother, President Lusamine, so that Lusamine could use Nebby's power to activate an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Worried about their boss's disappearance into [[Ultra Space]], Plumeria and the rest of the team ask of the player to bring him home.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]] post game story, Team Skull, most notably Guzma, ally with and assist the player in taking down [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], who had taken over [[Aether Paradise]], building a [[Team Rocket's Castle|castle]] there.

==== In animation ====
Team Skull debuted in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where three of their grunts, [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]], challenged [[Kiawe]] to a Pokémon battle, threatening to steal his {{p|Charizard}}. {{Ash}} and {{an|Kiawe}} teamed up to defeat the grunts, with Kiawe defeating all of the grunts' Pokémon with his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}'s Z-Move. Since then, they have made semi-regular appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}, especially Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp. Their leader, Guzma also participated in Alola's very first Pokémon League.

===[[Team Rainbow Rocket]]===
[[File:Rainbow Rocket logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Rainbow Rocket logo]]
Team Rainbow Rocket is a villainous team that appears in the [[Alola]] region. Members wear black uniforms that are similar to those worn by the original [[Team Rocket]], but the red "R" logo on the uniform's front has been replaced by a rainbow "R" logo. Their leader is Giovanni, one from a [[Pokémon multiverse|parallel world]].

Team Rainbow Rocket's intention is to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all worlds in the multiverse. The group's leader Giovanni has recruited the leaders of other villainous teams from alternate universes where they were successful in their plans, including [[Archie]] of [[Team Aqua]], [[Maxie]] of [[Team Magma]], [[Cyrus]] of [[Team Galactic]], [[Ghetsis]] of [[Team Plasma]], and [[Lysandre]] of [[Team Flare]]. [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] also assists in Team Rainbow Rocket's goals.

===[[Team Yell]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Yell-Logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Yell logo]]
Team Yell is the villainous team of the [[Galar]] region. The grunts' black-and-pink uniforms are inspired by {{wp|Football hooliganism|football hooligans}} and punks, and consist of sneakers, pranks, tank tops, vests, and gloves. Many of their clothing articles are ripped/torn or embellished with spikes and studs. The grunts also wear face paint and dyed or painted hair. Their symbol is a stylized, upside-down Y, forming an eye tattoo or a claw, though it also closely resembles their signature Y-shaped {{wp|vuvuzela}}. In reality, Team Yell grunts are [[Spikemuth]] [[Gym Trainer (Trainer class)|Gym Trainer]]s in disguise, under their captain and Gym Leader [[Piers]].

Unlike most evil teams, Team Yell's intentions, while similar to those of Team Skull (who also have a history of disrupting events), are not entirely evil; they are simply devoted fans of Piers' younger sister [[Marnie]]. Team Yell was formed when Marnie entered the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by several Gym Trainers from the Spikemuth Gym who came together to form Team Yell and act as a fan club for her, but they also began vandalizing and obstructing her competitors to help her win the Gym Challenge and get publicity for their dilapidating hometown.

Their symbol is a cut-out star shape, with the negative space shaped like both a lightning bolt and the letter S. Their leader is [[Cassiopeia]].

Team Star is the focus of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s ★ Starfall Street ★ (Japanese: '''スターダスト★ストリート''' ''Stardust ★ Street'') storyline, causing trouble for others and pressuring other students into joining. The team is made of several squads, each led by a Boss. When battling a Boss, they will appear on top of a custom car called the [[Starmobile]].

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Aether-logo.png|thumb|100px|Aether Foundation logo]]
The Aether Foundation was founded in the [[Alola]] region with the intention to protect and heal injured Pokémon. Despite its noble goals, the organization's leader, [[Lusamine]], with the help of her second-in-command [[Faba]], lead a handful of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}}, alongside the aid of [[Team Skull]], to research and pursue the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Blinded by her obsession, Lusamine neglected her family, mistreated Pokémon, and threatened the safety of those around her, ultimately putting the whole Alola region at risk by opening the [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, allowing the Ultra Beasts to come through and wreak havoc.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Lusamine, working with the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], obsessively researched and pursued {{p|Necrozma}} to prevent the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from stealing the light of Alola, inadvertently unleashing the Pokémon, whose immense power and instability threatened to plunge the region into darkness.

==== In the core series games ====
Macro Cosmos is an organization serving as a large business conglomerate in the [[Galar]] region. The president of the company and chairman of the [[Galar League]], [[Rose]], planned to use the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Eternatus}} to solve Galar's projected energy crisis. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the vice-president of the company and Rose's secretary, [[Oleana]], tasked {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} employees with preventing the {{player}} and [[Hop]] from reaching Chairman Rose during his conversation with [[Leon]], and ultimately battled them herself.

It is revealed in the climax of the game that Rose energized Eternatus with [[Wishing Star]]s collected by [[Bede]] to bring about the [[Darkest Day]] in order to provide Galar with a near-infinite supply of energy. However, the energy released by Eternatus became too much for Rose to contain. Realizing the severity of the situation, Oleana urged the player to put a stop to Rose's plan. Rose lost control of Eternatus and was forced to enlist the {{pkmn|Champion}} Leon's help to defeat and catch it, but Leon was unable to fully weaken and catch the Pokémon. Eternatus was only able to be stopped with the combined strength of the player, Hop, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}}, before being captured by the player. Rose was not seen again after Eternatus's capture, having turned himself over to the authorities, while Oleana chose to do community service.

Despite the criminal actions of the president and Oleana as his accomplice, the rest of Macro Cosmos and its employees did not appear to be aware of Rose's plans and were not involved in his crimes. Instead, most of them are encountered as regular {{tc|League Staff}}.

===Animated series===
====[[Explorers]]====
[[File:Explorers Logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Explorers logo]]
The Explorers are a villainous team that appears in the [[Kanto]], [[Galar]], and [[Paldea]] regions and is based at [[Mount Pericarp]]. The grunts wear gray clothes and silver jackets with the symbol of the Explorers on them. Variations of those clothes are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. The leader of the Explorers is [[Gibeon]]. After Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', [[Spinel]] took his place as leader.

Similar to the previous animated series, {{aniseries|HZ}} introduces a new trio of villains. Unlike the [[Team Rocket trio]] and [[Team Skull trio]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}, however, [[Amethio]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] are more competent and serious in their actions, getting to the point of being more violent too, not caring if their actions might hurt other Pokémon or people. Over the course of the series, other members of this organization are introduced, such as [[Hamber]], Gibeon's second-in-command and Spinel, an [[Exceed]] scientist that was promoted into an admin. It's also later revealed that Hamber was the one to not only find, but train most of the Explorers admins, including Amethio, [[Chalce]], [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]].

The Explorers' main goal is to better the lives of [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the use of [[Laquium]], crystals that can expand humans's lifespan and awaken Pokémon's latent power. These crystals can only be found in a sealed part of the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. To get there, they must not only capture [[Rystal]]'s [[Pagogo|Terapagos]], whose "awakening" is the key to unseal the area where Laquium is found, but they also need to gather all of [[Lucius]]'s [[Six Heroes]], ancient Pokémon whose energy will allow Terapagos to awaken. Due to their conflicting goals, they've become the sworn enemies of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], who share the goal of reaching Laqua, but for different reasons. In ''Where the Adventure Leads'', the Explorers took possession of Laqua, even though all of the Laquium there has been purified by Terapagos. After Spinel became the new leader of the team, their goal was changed to secretly taking control of the world.

It's [[HZ074|later]] revealed that the Explorers were originally a small group founded 100 years prior to the series by three friends: Lucius, Gibeon, and Rystal, who together travelled around the world seeking the Pokémon paradise, Laqua. After their disbandment, Gibeon reformed the group as the advanced organization that's known in the present day.

====[[Exceed]]====
[[File:Exceed Logo.png|thumb|100px|right|Exceed logo]]
The Exceed Corporation is a company founded in [[Pericarp Town]] by [[Gibeon]] with the goal to improve the lives of [[Human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the research of a mysterious crystal named [[Laquium]]. At first, it was portrayed as a legitimate company, but when its original chairman Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', it became one of the main antagonists of {{Aniseries|HZ}} being having come entirely under the sway of the [[Explorers]] and its new boss [[Spinel]].{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation VI]], the final battle against each villainous team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location and reflects the team's name.
** For [[Lysandre]], the background is a fiery area resembling a {{wp|stellar corona}}, whereas the actual location is the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].
** For [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano, respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. For the purposes of {{cat|moves that vary with environment}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is treated as the default plain terrain.
* [[Team Break]] is the only villainous team (if spin-off teams are included) outside of the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}} with neither a leader nor executives, admins, or commanders. However, they later gain a boss during the [[Villain Arc]] when [[Paulo]] temporarily becomes their leader.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Team Skull]] holds the distinction for debuting earlier in their respective series than any other team, appearing in the [[SM001|very first episode]] of the {{aniseries|SM|''Sun & Moon'' series}}. Likewise, [[Team Plasma]] holds the distinction of debuting the latest of any team, not appearing until the [[BW112|112th episode]] of the {{aniseries|BW|''Black & White'' series}}.
** However, if Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|intended debut]] had aired as planned, the latter distinction would be held by [[Team Yell]] instead, who did not appear until the [[JN099|99th episode]] of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* In [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Kalos]], the villainous team puts their plan into action right after the player earns their seventh [[Badge]].

Villainous team

2025-09-06T22:48:01Z

Gust4vo: /* Team GO Rocket */

[[File:Masters Villain Arc Final Chapter artwork.png|thumb|250px|Villainous team leaders and other antagonists in {{g|Masters EX}}]]
'''Villainous teams''', also officially referred to as '''villainous organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|悪|あく}}の{{ruby|組織|きそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations'') or '''sinister organizations''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|敵組織|てきそしき}}''' ''villainous organizations''; officially ''secret teams''), are typically {{wp|organized crime}} groups which serve as the main antagonists in the storylines of [[Pokémon games]]. They are also often major antagonists in story arcs of the {{pkmn|animated series}} and {{pkmn|manga}}. Whatever their goals in their respective games, one thing most have in common is that they plan on achieving their results through the misuse of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Their names usually follow the pattern '''Team ~''' (Japanese: '''{{j|～{{ruby|団|だん}}}}''' ''-dan'') e.g. [[Team Rocket]] (Japanese: ロケット{{ruby|団|だん}} ''Rocket-dan'').

Despite the name, villainous teams, particularly in later [[generation]]s, are not always outright villainous or malicious in their intentions. Additionally, similar organizations may fill a villainous role instead, such as parts of the [[Aether Foundation]] and [[Macro Cosmos]].

==Overview==
Villainous teams in the [[core series]] have many aspects in common. Their structure generally includes, in order of rank, a leader, one or more [[Admin]]s, and a number of anonymous [[grunt]]s. Some teams have additional levels of authority within them, such as [[Team Flare]]'s scientists, as well as additional members and associated individuals who do not fit into the hierarchy at all, such as [[Gladion]], who works with [[Team Skull]] but is not a "member" per se.

Most core series games have only one core team or organization acting in a villainous capacity. Typically, the player character encounters the villainous team many times over the course of their adventure. They often first encounter grunts early in the game, often involved in a small act of villainy unrelated to the team's broader goals. As the player's adventure continues, they meet more of the team's members and uncover more of its secrets and aims, culminating in one or more encounters with the team's boss. Finally, toward the end of the game, the player foils the team's scheme. In most games — with the exception of {{game|Black and White|s}} — this happens before the end of the player's journey to the [[Pokémon League]].

Other [[canon]]s outside of the core series, such as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, have created very different interpretations of villainous teams.

In later [[generation]]s, villainous teams are generally less overtly villainous, criminal, or malicious in nature, such as [[Team Yell]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, which are merely overzealous fans of [[Marnie]], and whose boss, [[Piers]], is largely ignorant to the trouble they've been causing. [[Team Star]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, while initially rambunctious and often breaking the school's rules, are found to mainly just be misunderstood, and are given the opportunity to reintegrate and help out at the school.

Additionally, the main antagonists of a game may be affiliated with a different organization altogether, such as a faction of the [[Aether Foundation]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}} or [[Macro Cosmos]] in Pokémon Sword and Shield. In this way, the initial villainous team encountered by the player may serve as more of a {{wp|red herring}}, disguising the true villain of the game's story.

While {{g|Legends: Arceus}} lacks a traditional villainous team, the [[Galaxy Team]] acts as a predecessor to [[Team Galactic]], and various groups with differing goals are encountered throughout the game, including the [[Miss Fortunes]], which, while serving a more overtly antagonistic role, are not the main villains of the game.

[[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and [[Phobos Battalion]] in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], are the only organizations officially referred to as villainous teams that do not appear in the [[core series]]{{fact}} and notably do not closely adhere to the standard pattern and trends of those teams, having various similarities and differences.

==List of villainous teams==
{{spoilers}}
{{incomplete|section|Manga info of Team Plasma and Team Flare from Pokémon Adventures}}
===[[Team Rocket]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Rocket-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Rocket logo]]
Team Rocket is the villainous team of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] regions and the [[Sevii Islands]]. The grunts wear black outfits with gray gloves, boots, and belt, while variations of those outfits are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a large, red "R". Their leader is [[Giovanni]]. After Giovanni's disappearance, [[Archer]] took his place.

In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Team Rocket often worked to gain money through methods such as burglary and selling [[Fossil]]s. Their plans culminated in a hostile takeover of the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. The gang based their operations in the hidden basement of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Initially, [[Giovanni]] was the leader of the [[Viridian Gym]]. After being defeated by the [[player character]], he resigned from his position and disappeared to train further. Team Rocket was disbanded at this time, but isolated groups still operated in the [[Sevii Islands]] until they were made aware of Giovanni's departure.

In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], Team Rocket operates as a remnant group under the leadership of [[Executive (Trainer class)|Rocket Executive]] Archer after Giovanni's absence. They engage in unethical activities like selling [[Slowpoke Tail]]s and conducting experiments with radio waves to control Pokémon, resulting in the unnatural [[Evolution]] of {{p|Magikarp}} at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Their attempts to seize control escalate with the takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], where they broadcast a plea for Giovanni's return. However, their plans are thwarted by {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Lance]], leading to their ultimate disbandment once again. Meanwhile, Ethan/Lyra [[Time travel|time-travelled]] from the future to that moment with {{P|Celebi}} and encountered Giovanni in his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]], listening to the group's broadcast and planning to meet with them in [[Goldenrod City|Goldenrod]], but after being defeated by them, he gives up and leaves the room, disappearing once again.

==== In animation ====
Team Rocket has appeared in almost every episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, usually as the [[Team Rocket trio|bumbling trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. At times, the leader {{an|Giovanni}} as well as other members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]], have appeared as well. Team Rocket as an organization made separate attacks on the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Unova]], and [[Alola]] regions, failing each time. Their goals are usually capture powerful [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] such as {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}, [[Lugia (Silver's parent)|Lugia]], the {{An|Forces of Nature}}, and {{An|Necrozma}}.

==== In the manga ====
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Rocket is depicted as a sinister organization led by {{adv|Giovanni}}. They initially pursue powerful Pokémon, clash with the [[Pokédex holders]], and feature prominent members such as [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Lt. Surge]]. After disbanding several times, the group undergoes multiple revivals under new leadership, including the [[Masked Man]], Giovanni, and the [[Executive (Trainer class)|Rocket Executives]], each pursuing powerful Legendary and Mythical Pokémon such as {{Adv|Tower duo|Lugia}}, {{Adv|Celebi}}, {{Adv|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

===[[Team Magma]]===
[[File:Magma-logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Magma logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Magma is one of the villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear red jumpsuit outfits, which have been variously interpreted to look like {{wp|Ninja}} costumes or similar to an imp, while variations of those suits are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a black "M" stylized to look like a volcano. Their leader is [[Maxie]].

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], their main goal is to increase the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]], and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]] and was revealed to have kidnapped Peeko. Later, they are encountered at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Courtney]] in Ruby or [[Tabitha]] in Omega Ruby are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Blue Orb]] (Red Orb in Omega Ruby). They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] in [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Ruby, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Groudon.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], they help the player defeat Team Aqua.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Team Magma is first seen in Meteor Falls, but flees when [[Archie]] and [[Team Aqua]] appear. Like in Ruby and Omega Ruby, they steal the meteorite. They are first fought at Mt. Chimney, and this is the first time [[Tabitha]] and [[Maxie]] are fought. After fighting Team Aqua, who successfully stole the Red Orb, at Mt. Pyre, the player obtains the [[Magma Emblem]], which was dropped by a grunt when Team Magma stole the Blue Orb, and accesses the [[Magma Hideout (Jagged Pass)|hideout]]. However, in this game, it's located in [[Jagged Pass]] instead of being near Lilycove City in Ruby and Omega Ruby. After defeating many grunts and Tabitha, the player witnesses Maxie awaken Groudon, but it flees, and they then fight Maxie for the second time. After earning the Mind Badge, they are fought at the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] for the last time. After defeating a few grunts, the player teams up with [[Steven Stone]] and defeat Maxie and Tabitha in a Double Battle. They are also seen after Archie awakens Kyogre in the Seafloor Cavern and is defeated by the player. The two leaders are in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and Groudon. After that, they are seen returning the respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.

==== In animation ====
Team Magma made their first appearance in {{aniseries|PTS}} in the {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire'' series}} episode ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''. It's later revealed that they captured Kyogre, which was freed by [[Shelly]] in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', allowing Archie to take control of it with the Red Orb. They then help the heroes stop the battle between the Super Ancient Pokémon and bring Archie back to his senses.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} arc of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Magma was shown to be lesser threat compared to Team Aqua as both teams go on a race to try and find the Red and Blue Orbs before each other so they can go on with their plans. Both Maxie and Archie were controlled by Groudon and Kyogre respectively and abandoned their original goals, only wanting to cause destruction across the region instead. After the orbs were separated from them, Maxie's body broke down, which resulted in his eventual death. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} arc, Maxie returned from the dead and reformed Team Magma as "Neo Team Magma", with the new goal of saving the world from a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteor]].

===[[Team Aqua]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Aqua-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Aqua logo]]
Team Aqua is one of the villainous teams of the [[Hoenn]] region. The grunts wear blue, white, and black thorn costumes that look like {{wp|pirate}} outfits, while variations of those costumes are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their logo is a white "A" stylized to look like skull and bones. Their leader is [[Archie]].

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], their main goal is to reduce the landmass of the [[Hoenn]] region. They are first encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] and a grunt is fought. After earning the {{Badge|Stone}}, the same grunt is seen fleeing to the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], and is revealed to have kidnapped [[Peeko]]. Later, they are seen at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, they steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]] and use it to try to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to become dormant. After being defeated, they aren't seen again until the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]] (Blue Orb in Alpha Sapphire). They then return to [[Slateport City]] to steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]], which cannot be accessed until after earning the {{Badge|Mind}} in Sapphire, and they then travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the orb to awaken Kyogre.

In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], they help the player defeat Team Magma.

In {{game|Emerald}}, a single grunt is encountered in [[Petalburg Woods]] with a second encounter ending in [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. As a group, they are first seen at [[Slateport City]]'s [[Oceanic Museum]], attempting to steal the [[Devon Parts|Devon Goods]] from [[Captain Stern]]. At [[Meteor Falls]] they cause [[Team Magma]] to flee. They are seen fighting Team Magma at Mt. Chimney. Later, they are seen again when the player reaches the [[Weather Institute]], where a group of grunts led by [[Shelly]] are looking for information about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}} and the weather Pokémon {{p|Castform}}. Soon after, they are seen at [[Mt. Pyre]], and succeed in stealing the [[Red Orb]]. They then steal the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern built. They are seen and fought at their [[Team Aqua Hideout|hideout]] near [[Lilycove City]]. After many grunts and [[Matt]] are defeated, they are seen traveling to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the Red Orb to awaken Kyogre. After defeating many grunts and [[Shelly]], Archie is seen awakening Kyogre, but it flees and is fought and defeated by the player. Archie and [[Maxie]] are seen in [[Sootopolis City]] until {{p|Rayquaza}} stops the fight between Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}}. After this, the two leaders are seen returning their respective orbs to Mt. Pyre.

==== In animation ====
Team Aqua made their first appearance in {{aniseries|PTS}} in the {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire'' series}} episode ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]''. It's later revealed that they captured Groudon, which was freed by Pikachu under the effects of the Blue Orb. Archie gain control of Kyogre through the Red Orb, but was stopped by Groudon.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Aqua was shown to be a bigger threat compared to Team Magma as both teams go on a race to try and find the Red and Blue Orbs before each other so they can go on with their plans. Both Maxie and Archie were controlled by Groudon and Kyogre respectively and abandoned their original goals, only wanting to cause destruction across the region instead. After the orbs were separated from them, their bodies started to break down, but in the {{MangaArc|Emerald}}, [[Archie]] managed to slow down the process thanks to an armor set and disbanded Team Aqua as he assumed a [[Guile Hideout|new identity]]. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Archie returned from the dead and reformed Team Aqua as the now "Neo Team Aqua", with the new goal of saving the world from a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteor]].

===[[Team Galactic]]===
[[File:Galactic-logo.png|thumb|x100px|left|Team Galactic logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Galactic is the villainous team of the [[Sinnoh]] region. The grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits, while variations of that suit are worn by specific members such as the Admins. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (possibly resembling a spiral galaxy). Their leader is [[Cyrus]].

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], Cyrus wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image or spiritless with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. In Platinum, [[Charon]] is also present. In Platinum, once the player has access to [[Stark Mountain]], [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] are seen at Stark Mountain with Charon attempting to use the power of {{p|Heatran}}, but after being defeated, they leave the team, and Charon is arrested, leaving [[Saturn]] as the only Team Galactic Commander still part of the team.

In {{G|Legends: Arceus}}, it's heavily implied that Team Galactic is connected to the disbanded [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]], which had its name and accomplishments passed down to captain [[Cyllene]]'s descendants. Additionally, Cyllene heavily resembles Cyrus himself.

==== In animation ====
[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the [[Adamant Orb]] and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. In the end, Team Galactic commented that Team Rocket did a lousy job at it. In their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', Saturn acquired the [[Spear Key]] at the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn. Team Galactic also served as the antagonists of ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'' in {{aniseries|JN}}, trying to bring back Cyrus following his disappearance at the end of their original plan.

==== In the manga ====
In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga, like in the games, the team is led by Cyrus. The team essentially has the same goal as in the games, but it was possible that the {{tc|Commander}}s did not know about the absolute plan of their leader since Mars was shocked when Cyrus revealed that his ultimate goal was to create the universe and all of its life fully anew. [[Hareta]], with the help of [[Mitsumi]], a former member, and the Gym Leaders, managed to stop him. Later, [[Charon]] became the new leader and tried to capture {{p|Heatran}}. [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] left on a search to find Cyrus and were treated as deserters. One of the most distinctive characters of the team is [[B-2]], a grunt who has swollen buttocks due to Hareta biting him when they first met.

In the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Team Galactic has the same goal as in the game. They capture the Lake Guardians and use them to create two Red Chains to summon Dialga and Palkia to create Cyrus's new universe. However, the three Legendary Pokémon were freed by {{Adv|Diamond}}, {{Adv|Pearl}}, and {{Adv|Platinum}} leaving the second Red Chain incomplete. Their plans were ultimately stopped by Giratina, who dragged Cyrus, Dialga, and Palkia into the Distortion World. There, Cyrus had his mind changed by Diamond, abandoning his plan as a result.

===[[Team Plasma]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Plasma-logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Plasma logo]]
Team Plasma is the villainous team of the [[Unova]] region. The grunts' uniform resembled a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]]' are robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their king was [[N]], who was actually used by his adoptive father, [[Ghetsis]], one of the Seven Sages, to reach his goal of taking over the world. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}.

After the truth of Ghetsis is revealed, Team Plasma is split into two factions: Team Plasma, formed by those who follow N, and "Neo Team Plasma",formed by those who follow Ghetsis . The grunts that supported Ghetsis changed their uniform to be more similar to pirates, while those that supported N remained in the old uniforms. The leaders of this new team are both [[Colress]] and [[Zinzolin]], another one of the Seven Sages.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After the player captures the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] and defeats N, Ghetsis reveals his true plans, battling the hero himself. After his defeat and arrest, [[Looker]] will ask the player to help him round up the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]].

In {{B2W2}}, Team Plasma has split into two different factions. One of the factions consists of the few members of Team Plasma that are still loyal to N. The other faction, known as the Neo Team Plasma, is led by Colress and Zinzolin. This faction is not attempting to release Pokémon, but instead take over Unova. They intend to accomplish this new goal by freezing the region and stealing all of the region's Pokémon. Having escaped from custody, Ghetsis once again reveals himself to be the true mastermind behind Team Plasma's actions. The reformed members and N help the player against the new Team Plasma, culminating in the defeat of Colress and Ghetsis — the latter controlling {{p|Kyurem}}. Following this, Colress officially disbands Team Plasma, retiring to [[P2 Laboratory]]. Ghetsis, having snapped and lost heart upon seeing his plans foiled, is taken away by the [[Shadow Triad]], never to be seen again.

==== In animation ====
Team Plasma's intended {{aniseries|PTS}} debut episodes, [[BW023 (unaired)|BW023]] and [[BW024 (unaired)|BW024]], were postponed due to the {{wp|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} in Japan and were later retconned out of continuity. Their proper debut was in the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Best Wishes Season 2: Episode N]]'' arc, but in their new outfits. N debuted at the end of ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'' and was properly introduced in the [[BW110|next episode]]. Colress, with some other [[Team Plasma Grunt (Trainer class)|grunts]], first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' experimenting with wild Pokémon. Ghetsis made his proper appearance in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]''. [[Anthea and Concordia]] made their debut at the end of the episode, where they rescued N from Team Plasma. The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. Like in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|games]], Team Plasma's plan is to use the strength of Pokémon and use it to take over the Unova region.

===[[Team Flare]]===
[[File:Flare logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Flare logo]]

==== In the core series games ====
Team Flare is the villainous team of the [[Kalos]] region. The grunts' uniform is a mafia-styled red suit, while Admins wear more stylized white suits. Variations of those uniforms are also worn by specific members such as the scientists. Their symbol is an "F" stylized like a flame. Their leader is [[Lysandre]].

At first, Team Flare's goal is claimed to be making the world "beautiful" with style and lots of money. Despite their claims, several grunts and even their leader [[Lysandre]] confirm that they seek a world benefiting only those within Team Flare, disregarding anybody else. Team Flare attempted to make money by stealing and selling [[Fossil]]s. They also siphoned energy from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], and later on stole [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]]. It is eventually revealed that Team Flare's true plan is to use the ancient Ultimate Weapon in order to obliterate all life except themselves and start anew, as Lysandre no longer sees a bright future for the current society — which, in his words, has grown to an unsustainable level and is doomed by "unproductive fools" consuming the planet's limited resources. At this point, it is explained that all their actions were preparations for this goal: the energy from the Power Plant was needed to reactivate the weapon, and a large number of Pokémon was needed to feed it, as it is powered by their life energies. After the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], the player is tasked by [[Looker]] to help him solve a series of crimes related to a person known as [[Emma|Essentia]], which would be revealed to be the result of experiments by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists.

==== In animation ====
The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in the {{aniseries|XY}} special ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he interrupted Alain and {{Steven}}'s battle. Team Flare later hatches a plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team is after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named [[Squishy|Z1]] and [[Z2]]. In ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', Team Flare was able to locate Z2 while it and Z1 were communicating, and Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, who had nicknamed it Squishy, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 with the help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later conduct experiments on it. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', on the night before the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the [[Lumiose Gym]] to begin setting up their equipment. At the end of ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre arrived at the Lumiose Gym and ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion. In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre televised a message to the citizens of Kalos, describing his plan to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in. Team Flare's plot was ultimately foiled in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after Z2 was freed from its control and Team Flare's [[Giant Rock]] destroyed. Lysandre's fate was unclear after he was engulfed in the same explosion that destroyed the Giant Rock, while the other members were eventually arrested.

==== In the manga ====
In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Team Flare planned to use the power of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{P|Yveltal}} to power up the ultimate weapon, but after Xerneas escaped and joined {{Adv|Y}}'s team, they retreated into the [[Pokémon Village]] and decided to power the weapon with the life force of the Pokémon that live there instead.

===[[Team Skull]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Skull-Logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Skull logo]]
Team Skull is the primary villainous team of the [[Alola]] region. The grunts' black-and-white uniforms are inspired by street gangs and consist of sneakers, shorts, wrist bands, tank tops, bandannas used to cover the lower face, and berets that resemble the tops of skulls. Their symbol is a stylized letter S in the shape of a skull, which is worn as a medallion. Their leader is [[Guzma]].

Team Skull's intentions are to simply make enough money to survive. They can be seen around the Alola region, stealing Pokémon and disrupting island life and [[island challenge]] events. The team's leader, [[Guzma]], had once attempted the island challenge, aiming to become a [[Trial Captain|captain]], but failed. He is acquainted with [[Professor Kukui]]. [[Plumeria]], Team Skull's Admin, is considered the "big sister" of the team and cares for the grunts, calling them her "cute, dumb brothers and sisters". It is eventually revealed by some of their members that the organization is composed of other people who also failed their island challenge. Their enforcer, [[Gladion]], the son of Aether President [[Lusamine]], joined their team to become stronger, though the grunts do not consider him a real member of their team. Their base is located in [[Po Town]]. Throughout the game, Team Skull acts like minor inconveniences towards the player, often causing trouble on their island challenge. [[Lillie]] seems to be a afraid of the group, hiding her {{p|Cosmog}}, [[Nebby]], in her bag saying that Team Skull is one of the people who may use its power for their own gain. The player encounters Team Skull's notable members several times, Gladion warning them of Cosmog's powers and Plumeria telling them to not get in the way of the relationship she has with her grunts. In [[Malie City]], it is revealed that Guzma and Professor Kukui have history, with Guzma being uninterested in his [[Pokémon League]]. Team Skull eventually finds out what is in Lillie's bag and brings her to her mother, President Lusamine, so that Lusamine could use Nebby's power to activate an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Worried about their boss's disappearance into [[Ultra Space]], Plumeria and the rest of the team ask of the player to bring him home.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]] post game story, Team Skull, most notably Guzma, ally with and assist the player in taking down [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], who had taken over [[Aether Paradise]], building a [[Team Rocket's Castle|castle]] there.

==== In animation ====
Team Skull debuted in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where three of their grunts, [[Tupp]], [[Zipp]], and [[Rapp]], challenged [[Kiawe]] to a Pokémon battle, threatening to steal his {{p|Charizard}}. {{Ash}} and {{an|Kiawe}} teamed up to defeat the grunts, with Kiawe defeating all of the grunts' Pokémon with his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}'s Z-Move. Since then, they have made semi-regular appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}, especially Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp. Their leader, Guzma also participated in Alola's very first Pokémon League.

===[[Team Rainbow Rocket]]===
[[File:Rainbow Rocket logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Team Rainbow Rocket logo]]
Team Rainbow Rocket is a villainous team that appears in the [[Alola]] region. Members wear black uniforms that are similar to those worn by the original [[Team Rocket]], but the red "R" logo on the uniform's front has been replaced by a rainbow "R" logo. Their leader is Giovanni, one from a [[Pokémon multiverse|parallel world]].

Team Rainbow Rocket's intention is to create an army of [[Ultra Beast]]s in order to conquer all worlds in the multiverse. The group's leader Giovanni has recruited the leaders of other villainous teams from alternate universes where they were successful in their plans, including [[Archie]] of [[Team Aqua]], [[Maxie]] of [[Team Magma]], [[Cyrus]] of [[Team Galactic]], [[Ghetsis]] of [[Team Plasma]], and [[Lysandre]] of [[Team Flare]]. [[Faba]] of the [[Aether Foundation]] also assists in Team Rainbow Rocket's goals.

===[[Team Yell]]===

==== In the core series games ====
[[File:Yell-Logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Yell logo]]
Team Yell is the villainous team of the [[Galar]] region. The grunts' black-and-pink uniforms are inspired by {{wp|Football hooliganism|football hooligans}} and punks, and consist of sneakers, pranks, tank tops, vests, and gloves. Many of their clothing articles are ripped/torn or embellished with spikes and studs. The grunts also wear face paint and dyed or painted hair. Their symbol is a stylized, upside-down Y, forming an eye tattoo or a claw, though it also closely resembles their signature Y-shaped {{wp|vuvuzela}}. In reality, Team Yell grunts are [[Spikemuth]] [[Gym Trainer (Trainer class)|Gym Trainer]]s in disguise, under their captain and Gym Leader [[Piers]].

Unlike most evil teams, Team Yell's intentions, while similar to those of Team Skull (who also have a history of disrupting events), are not entirely evil; they are simply devoted fans of Piers' younger sister [[Marnie]]. Team Yell was formed when Marnie entered the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] by several Gym Trainers from the Spikemuth Gym who came together to form Team Yell and act as a fan club for her, but they also began vandalizing and obstructing her competitors to help her win the Gym Challenge and get publicity for their dilapidating hometown.

Their symbol is a cut-out star shape, with the negative space shaped like both a lightning bolt and the letter S. Their leader is [[Cassiopeia]].

Team Star is the focus of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s ★ Starfall Street ★ (Japanese: '''スターダスト★ストリート''' ''Stardust ★ Street'') storyline, causing trouble for others and pressuring other students into joining. The team is made of several squads, each led by a Boss. When battling a Boss, they will appear on top of a custom car called the [[Starmobile]].

[[File:Aether-logo.png|thumb|100px|Aether Foundation logo]]
The Aether Foundation was founded in the [[Alola]] region with the intention to protect and heal injured Pokémon. Despite its noble goals, the organization's leader, [[Lusamine]], with the help of her second-in-command [[Faba]], lead a handful of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee|employees}}, alongside the aid of [[Team Skull]], to research and pursue the [[Ultra Beast]]s. Blinded by her obsession, Lusamine neglected her family, mistreated Pokémon, and threatened the safety of those around her, ultimately putting the whole Alola region at risk by opening the [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, allowing the Ultra Beasts to come through and wreak havoc.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Lusamine, working with the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], obsessively researched and pursued {{p|Necrozma}} to prevent the [[Legendary Pokémon]] from stealing the light of Alola, inadvertently unleashing the Pokémon, whose immense power and instability threatened to plunge the region into darkness.

In contrast to Lusamine and those who worked for her, the rest of Aether Foundation and its employees generally believed in the virtues and ideals of the organization, genuinely wanting to help and shield Pokémon from harm.

====[[Macro Cosmos]]====

==== In the core series games ====
Macro Cosmos is an organization serving as a large business conglomerate in the [[Galar]] region. The president of the company and chairman of the [[Galar League]], [[Rose]], planned to use the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Eternatus}} to solve Galar's projected energy crisis. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the vice-president of the company and Rose's secretary, [[Oleana]], tasked {{tc|Macro Cosmos's}} employees with preventing the {{player}} and [[Hop]] from reaching Chairman Rose during his conversation with [[Leon]], and ultimately battled them herself.

It is revealed in the climax of the game that Rose energized Eternatus with [[Wishing Star]]s collected by [[Bede]] to bring about the [[Darkest Day]] in order to provide Galar with a near-infinite supply of energy. However, the energy released by Eternatus became too much for Rose to contain. Realizing the severity of the situation, Oleana urged the player to put a stop to Rose's plan. Rose lost control of Eternatus and was forced to enlist the {{pkmn|Champion}} Leon's help to defeat and catch it, but Leon was unable to fully weaken and catch the Pokémon. Eternatus was only able to be stopped with the combined strength of the player, Hop, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}}, before being captured by the player. Rose was not seen again after Eternatus's capture, having turned himself over to the authorities, while Oleana chose to do community service.

Despite the criminal actions of the president and Oleana as his accomplice, the rest of Macro Cosmos and its employees did not appear to be aware of Rose's plans and were not involved in his crimes. Instead, most of them are encountered as regular {{tc|League Staff}}.

Like in the core series games, {{GO|Giovanni}} is their leader.

====[[Team Break]]====
[[File:Break-Logo.png|thumb|100px|Team Break logo]]
Team Break is a villainous team in the [[Pasio]] region, appearing in {{g|Masters EX}}. Their goal is to steal strong Pokémon from other trainers and sabotage the [[Pokémon Masters League]]. Its members wear masks that resemble the team's logo turned sideways.

During the [[Villain Arc]], they temporarily received a leader in the form of [[Paulo]], who wants to use them and [[Lear]]'s {{p|Hoopa}} Unbound to destroy all evil teams, naming himself the "last evil" and planning to disband his own team when he's finished, however, his plans are stopped by {{mas|Giovanni}} by stealing and controlling Hoopa with the power of the [[sync stone]]s, causing the Team Break members loyal to him to defect.

Team Break briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]] in a montage.

===Animated series===
====[[Explorers]]====
[[File:Explorers Logo.png|thumb|100px|left|Explorers logo]]
The Explorers are a villainous team that appears in the [[Kanto]], [[Galar]], and [[Paldea]] regions and is based at [[Mount Pericarp]]. The grunts wear gray clothes and silver jackets with the symbol of the Explorers on them. Variations of those clothes are also worn by specific members such as the Admins. The leader of the Explorers is [[Gibeon]]. After Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', [[Spinel]] took his place as leader.

Similar to the previous animated series, {{aniseries|HZ}} introduces a new trio of villains. Unlike the [[Team Rocket trio]] and [[Team Skull trio]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}, however, [[Amethio]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] are more competent and serious in their actions, getting to the point of being more violent too, not caring if their actions might hurt other Pokémon or people. Over the course of the series, other members of this organization are introduced, such as [[Hamber]], Gibeon's second-in-command and Spinel, an [[Exceed]] scientist that was promoted into an admin. It's also later revealed that Hamber was the one to not only find, but train most of the Explorers admins, including Amethio, [[Chalce]], [[Coral]], and [[Sidian]].

The Explorers' main goal is to better the lives of [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the use of [[Laquium]], crystals that can expand humans's lifespan and awaken Pokémon's latent power. These crystals can only be found in a sealed part of the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. To get there, they must not only capture [[Rystal]]'s [[Pagogo|Terapagos]], whose "awakening" is the key to unseal the area where Laquium is found, but they also need to gather all of [[Lucius]]'s [[Six Heroes]], ancient Pokémon whose energy will allow Terapagos to awaken. Due to their conflicting goals, they've become the sworn enemies of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], who share the goal of reaching Laqua, but for different reasons. In ''Where the Adventure Leads'', the Explorers took possession of Laqua, even though all of the Laquium there has been purified by Terapagos. After Spinel became the new leader of the team, their goal was changed to secretly taking control of the world.

It's [[HZ074|later]] revealed that the Explorers were originally a small group founded 100 years prior to the series by three friends: Lucius, Gibeon, and Rystal, who together travelled around the world seeking the Pokémon paradise, Laqua. After their disbandment, Gibeon reformed the group as the advanced organization that's known in the present day.

====[[Exceed]]====
[[File:Exceed Logo.png|thumb|100px|right|Exceed logo]]
The Exceed Corporation is a company founded in [[Pericarp Town]] by [[Gibeon]] with the goal to improve the lives of [[Human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the research of a mysterious crystal named [[Laquium]]. At first, it was portrayed as a legitimate company, but when its original chairman Gibeon passed away in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', it became one of the main antagonists of {{Aniseries|HZ}} being having come entirely under the sway of the [[Explorers]] and its new boss [[Spinel]].{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation VI]], the final battle against each villainous team's Boss takes place on a background that differs from the actual location and reflects the team's name.
** For [[Lysandre]], the background is a fiery area resembling a {{wp|stellar corona}}, whereas the actual location is the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].
** For [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the background resembles a whirlpool or a volcano, respectively, while both battles take place in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. For the purposes of {{cat|moves that vary with environment}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is treated as the default plain terrain.
* [[Team Break]] is the only villainous team (if spin-off teams are included) outside of the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}} with neither a leader nor executives, admins, or commanders. However, they later gain a boss during the [[Villain Arc]] when [[Paulo]] temporarily becomes their leader.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Team Skull]] holds the distinction for debuting earlier in their respective series than any other team, appearing in the [[SM001|very first episode]] of the {{aniseries|SM|''Sun & Moon'' series}}. Likewise, [[Team Plasma]] holds the distinction of debuting the latest of any team, not appearing until the [[BW112|112th episode]] of the {{aniseries|BW|''Black & White'' series}}.
** However, if Team Plasma's [[BW023 (unaired)|intended debut]] had aired as planned, the latter distinction would be held by [[Team Yell]] instead, who did not appear until the [[JN099|99th episode]] of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* In [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}, and [[Kalos]], the villainous team puts their plan into action right after the player earns their seventh [[Badge]].

==Trivia==
* Simisage and its pre-evolved form are the only non-[[first partner Pokémon]] that have {{a|Overgrow}} as an Ability.

===Origin===
Simisage appears to be based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|tree}}; the fact that it is based on both may mean that it might be based on the legends of {{wp|Monkey tree phenomenon|monkey trees}} or possibly a visual pun on {{wp|Colobinae|leaf monkeys}}.

Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|bōsōzoku}}'' or {{wp|Yankee#In other countries|yankee}} subculture. Its {{wp|pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}-like hair, common in the 50s, contrasts with the hippy-like hairstyle of {{p|Simipour}}, common in the late 60s and the 70s. During the 1950s, the hairstyle had become a staple of many {{wp|Greaser (subculture)|Greaser}} gangs and was used by early {{wp|rock and roll}} stars such as {{wp|Elvis Presley}}. The early bōsōzoku took inspiration from American greaser culture.

It, along with its two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its thumb up, Simisage represents "speak no evil".

====Name origin====
Simisage may be a combination of ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''{{wp|Salvia officinalis|sage}}'' (an herb). ''Sage'' can also refer to a wise person, relating to the "{{wp|three wise monkeys}}" motif of the [[elemental monkeys]].

Yanakkie may be a combination of 柳 ''yanagi'' ({{wp|willow}}), 野菜 ''yasai'' (vegetables), 菜 ''na'' (greens), and ''{{wp|monkey}}''.

'''Simipour''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヤッキー''' ''Hiyakkie'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Panpour}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Simipour is a simian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily blue. Its ears are broad with light blue insides, and it has oval eyes and a small black nose. There are several tufts of fur on its head, which resemble {{wp|dreadlocks}}. These tufts can store water, which it collects with its tail. Simipour has a white marking around its neck that resembles a ruff; and a cream-colored face, hands, arms, legs, and feet. Its hands have five fingers, and its feet have three toes. Its tail is tipped with a blue plume, resembling a spout of water.

Simipour's tail can shoot water at such high pressure that it can destroy a concrete wall. It prefers to live near clean water.

===Evolution===
Simipour evolves from {{p|Panpour}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:516Simipour old.png|thumb|250px|Simipour's old artwork]]
* Simipour represents {{wp|February}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Simipour's official game artwork previously showed its entire tail to be completely blue instead of tan with a blue tip.
* Simipour and its pre-evolved form are the only non-[[first partner Pokémon]] that have {{a|Torrent}} as an Ability.
* Though its eyes seem to always be closed, Simipour still appears to "blink" in the games.
* In its sprites for {{G|Black and White}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|their sequels]], Simipour appears to be performing moves that alludes to the popular ''{{wp|Rock, paper, scissors}}'' game.

===Origin===
Simipour appears to based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|fountain}}; because of this, it may have been inspired by the water dwelling monkey-like creature {{wp|Ahuizotl (creature)|ahuizotl}}, or it may be a visual pun on {{wp|Sea-Monkeys}}. The ability to store water in its hair may also reference the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}}, a Japanese reptilian ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that stores water on a dish of sorts on its head. The hair itself resembles a common hairstyle among {{wp|hippies}} and popular musicians of the late 60s and the 70s. This contrasts with {{p|Simisage}}'s pompadour-like hair, common in the 50s.

Its chest fur resembles a {{wp|volcano}} and may have possibly been based on {{wp|geyser}}s, {{wp|subaqueous volcano}}es, {{wp|cryovolcano}}es, or the Guatemalan {{wp|Volcán de Agua}}. Its chest fur may otherwise possibly represent the froth of a gushing {{wp|waterfall}}, with its blue locks symbolizing the waterfall.

It, along with its two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its eyes seemingly closed, Simipour represents "see no evil".

====Name origin====
Simipour may be a combination of ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''pour''.

Hiyakkie may be a combination of 冷や ''hiya'' (cool water) and ''{{wp|monkey}}''.

A '''Sitrus Berry''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|オボンのみ|Obon no Mi}}''' ''Obon Fruit'') is a type of [[Berry]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the spiritual successor of the [[Gold Berry]] from [[Generation II]], initially having an identical effect when used on or by a Pokémon. The effect of the Sitrus Berry was later changed in [[Generation IV]] so that it restores 25% of the user's max HP.

==In the core series games==

===Effect===
====Held item====
=====Generation III=====
When held by a Pokémon, if the holder's {{stat|HP}} is below 50% at the end of a turn, it will consume its held Sitrus Berry and restore 30 HP.

=====Generation IV onward=====
When held by a Pokémon, if the holder's {{stat|HP}} falls below 50%, it will consume its held Sitrus Berry and restore 25% of its maximum HP. When forcibly consumed via {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Pluck}}, or {{m|Bug Bite}}, it restore 25% of the consumer's maximum HP.

Due to a [[List of glitches in Generation V#Confusion item activation glitch|glitch in Generation V]], dropping below half HP by taking self-inflicted damage from {{status|confusion}} will not activate the Sitrus Berry.

When used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon, it restores 30 HP to that Pokémon. It is consumed after use.

=====Generation IV onward=====

===Pokémon Sleep===
[[File:Sleep Sitrus Berry.png|thumb|120px|Sitrus Berry in Pokémon Sleep]]
The Sitrus Berry is available in [[Pokémon Sleep]] as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to {{Sleep|Snorlax}}.

====Effect====
Sitrus Berries raise Snorlax's Strength, doubling the effect if the Berry is Snorlax's favorite. The base amount of Strength raised by the Berry is determined by the level of the helper Pokémon that gathered it.

====[[Note]]====
{{movedesc|berries}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Sleep}}|Sitrus came from the same family as [[Oran Berry|Oran]]. It's larger and smoother-tasting than Oran.}}
|}
|}

====Acquisition====
Sitrus Berries can be gathered by {{type|Rock}} helper Pokémon in the player's team. Like all Berries in the game, gathered Sitrus Berries do not go into the player's inventory and instead are immediately eaten by Snorlax.
{{-}}

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Sitrus Berries appear on all of the game's stages. In the [[Pokémon UNITE#Standard Battle|Standard Battle]] and [[Pokémon UNITE#Ranked Battle|Ranked Battle]] stages of [[Remoat Stadium]] and [[Theia Sky Ruins]], they appear in pairs just behind the forward-most [[goal zone]]s of each team. Other stages in the game follow this pattern as well. In [[Mer Stadium]], only one of the two Sitrus Berries is located on the road behind the forward-most goal zones. The other is placed just off of the road, slightly behind the first. While [[Auroma Park]] features shared goal zones, two Sitrus Berries still appear near each goal zone, although they are closer to the mouth of the upper left and bottom right corners of the map. [[Shivre City]] is an exception, featuring a string of Sitrus Berries on the paths between the goal zones.

Eating a Sitrus Berry heals the player who used it. Players are able to eat the Sitrus Berries located on the opponents' side of the map. Most Pokémon are unable to eat Sitrus Berries while at full health, but {{p|Greedent}} is allowed to do so due to its Berry focused moveset. Sitrus Berries respawn after being used when a certain amount of time has passed. However, Sitrus Berries will stop appearing and despawn if the goal zone they are associated with is destroyed.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SitrusBerrySwordShield182.jpg|200px|thumb|Sitrus Berry in the TCG]]
{{main|Sitrus Berry (EX Unseen Forces 91)}}
'''Sitrus Berry''' is a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} that was first introduced in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the Japanese PCG Era, as part of the {{TCG|Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean}} set. During [[Pokémon Checkup]], if the Pokémon this card is attached to has three or more damage counters on it, Sitrus Berry is discarded to heal 30 damage from them. It was reprinted in {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, with [[errata]] that changes the timing of the card's check for damage counters and potential healing to occur at the end of each turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In all generations, Sitrus Berries grow into fruit-bearing trees in double the time it takes for [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]] to do the same.
* This is the most common held item among the Video Game World Championships team's winners.

===Origin===
The Sitrus Berry's name may be based on {{wp|Citrus}}. Its design may be based on a [[wp:Pear|pear]].

An '''Oran Berry''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|オレンのみ|Oren no Mi}}''' ''Oran Fruit'') is a type of [[Berry]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the spiritual successor of the standard {{i|Berry}} from [[Generation II]], having an identical effect when used on or by a Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Berries}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev3|RSEFRLG}} {{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}} {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|N/A|{{PDollar}}10}}

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev8|LA}}|{{pdollar}}80|{{PDollar}}20}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|N/A|{{pdollar}}20}}
|}
|}

In the [[Generation V]] games, the Oran Berry can be sold to the {{DL|Item maniac|gourmet maniac}} on {{rt|5|Unova}} for {{Pdollar}}20.

===Effect===
====Held item====
====Generation III====
If the holder's {{stat|HP}} is below 50% at the end of a turn, it will consume its held Oran Berry and restore 10 HP.

====Generation IV onward====
If the holder's {{stat|HP}} falls below 50%, it will consume its held Oran Berry and restore 10 HP.

====Generation V onward====
If the holder's {{stat|HP}} falls below 50%, it will consume its held Oran Berry and restore 10 HP. Due to a [[List of glitches in Generation V#Sitrus Berry glitch|glitch]], dropping below half HP by taking self-inflicted damage from {{status|confusion}} will not activate the Oran Berry.

====Bag item====
When used from the [[Bag]] on a Pokémon, it restores 10 HP to that Pokémon. It is consumed after use.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it restores 20 HP to the Pokémon, and can also be thrown near wild Pokémon to draw their attention.

It is a food item that restores HP by 100 and {{stat|Belly}} by 5{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}{{sup/md|GTI}}/2{{sup/md|SMD}}{{sup/md|RTDX}}. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], if the user's max HP is less than 100 or their HP is full, it temporarily increases max HP by 10 for that dungeon.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates To Infinity]], it heals 100 HP when consumed.

The Oran Berry is available in [[Pokémon Sleep]] as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to {{Sleep|Snorlax}}.

====Effect====
Oran Berries raise Snorlax's Strength, doubling the effect if the Berry is Snorlax's favorite. The base amount of Strength raised by the Berry is determined by the level of the helper Pokémon that gathered it.

====[[Note]]====
{{movedesc|berries}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Sleep}}|Nature's gifts came together as one in this Berry. It has a wondrous mix of flavors that spread in the mouth.}}

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Oran Berries appear as part of {{p|Greedent}}'s moveset. Greedent drops an Oran Berry into play when using its boosted Basic Attack and [[Defense Curl]], as well as when taking damage due to the effects of the [[Cheek Pouch]] ability. The moves [[Stuff Cheeks]] and [[Covet]] drop multiple Oran Berries. Eating Oran Berries restores the user's HP. Player characters other than Greedent, including Greedent's opponents, are able to eat the Oran Berries. Oran Berries stay on the ground for 10 seconds before disappearing. Lastly, Greedent eats an Oran Berry during its Unite Move, [[Greedent_(UNITE)#Unite_Move|Berry Belly Flop]], healing in the process.

'''Fearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニドリル''' ''Onidrill'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
Fearow is a large, mostly brown {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed, pink beak and a decorative red {{wp|Comb (anatomy)|coxcomb}} on top of its head. Its narrow eyes have very small pupils and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy feathers at the base of its neck and covering the upper portion of its wings. These feathers are cream-colored, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.

Fearow has been around mostly unchanged for many years, as a Pokémon resembling it has been seen on ancient murals. Its large wings and stamina allow it to fly for an entire day without landing. Its long neck and beak allow it to pluck prey from both land and water, and it has even been known to snatch food from unwary humans. It will shoot upward, and then dive down to catch prey. It will also catch tiny insects that hide underground and circle the ocean for fish. Fearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|wastelands and desolate fields}}.

===Evolution===
Fearow evolves from {{p|Spearow}}.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation VII]], Fearow is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a base stat total of 442.

===Origin===
Fearow seems to be based on various predatory birds, particularly {{wp|vulture}}s and {{wp|condor}}s due to its long neck, sharp beak, shaggy feathers, broad wings, and soaring flight. The {{wp|comb (anatomy)|comb}} on its head is similar to a {{wp|rooster|rooster}}'s comb or a {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}}. Its long neck and beak are also reminiscent of various water birds such as {{wp|cormorant}}s, {{wp|darter}}s, {{wp|stork}}s, and {{wp|heron}}s, particularly the {{wp|Goliath heron}}. Its Pokédex entries describe multiple hunting methods, either divebombing prey like {{wp|falcon}}s and {{wp|hawk}}s or probing through soil and water like {{wp|sandpiper}}s and {{wp|snipe}}s.

====Name origin====
Fearow may be a combination of ''fear'' (referring to its intimidating appearance) and ''{{wp|old world sparrow|sparrow}}''. It may also involve ''feather'' and ''arrow'' (referring to its sharp beak).

Onidrill may be a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'' (demon), 鳥 ''tori'' (bird), and ドリル ''doriru'' (drill).

F.E.A.R.

2025-09-06T04:14:48Z

Gust4vo: /* List of F.E.A.R. Pokémon */

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a last-resort strategy used in competitive battling since [[Generation IV]], normally usable only once per battle. A "F.E.A.R. Pokémon" is a Pokémon compatible with a certain moveset capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably level 100) while it itself is only at level 1 or 2, the reason for this strategy's bragging rights.

F.E.A.R. is a {{wp|backronym}} that generally stands for:
*[[Focus Sash]]
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*{{m|Quick Attack|(Quick) Attack}}
*{{p|Rattata}} (Rattata are not the only Pokémon that can use F.E.A.R; multiple Pokémon can fit this role.)

The original term, coined by strategists as humor, was "'''F'''***ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

The strategy (and original profanity-laden term) was originally conceived on [https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/925601-pokemon-diamond-version GameFAQs' Pokémon Diamond Message Board] in early 2007. That same year the strategy entered infamy when it was used in a [https://youtu.be/_kBIFllIA8Q?t=314 recorded online battle] between players "Untouchable" and "[[Marriland]]", the admin of the popular fan website of the same name.

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of the player's Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP. During the first turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will use Endeavor, and the opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat the F.E.A.R. Pokémon (assuming, of course, that the opponent isn't aware of this strategy). The F.E.A.R. Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When the Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of its own (which is now, assuming Focus Sash triggered, equal to 1). During the following turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can use a priority move to wipe out the remaining 1 HP of the opponent's Pokémon. Focus Sash will not work twice, so a Pokémon can only use this strategy once.

From Generation V onward, the Ability {{a|Sturdy}} was altered to function like a Focus Sash, but can activate multiple times providing the Pokémon regains all of its HP. With this change came new notable users of F.E.A.R.; a level 2 {{p|Probopass}} can use {{m|Pain Split}} to wear down the opponent's HP whilst healing itself, while {{p|Aron}} can use a combination of Endeavor and a held [[Shell Bell]] for multiple uses of Endeavor. Generation V also introduced {{p|Solosis}}, a Pokémon able to combine {{a|Magic Guard}} and Endeavor, but also set up {{m|Trick Room}} for its allies. As of [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], an Endeavor-tutored {{p|Togedemaru}} with Sturdy and a Shell Bell can perform F.E.A.R. in the same way as Aron before it, and can additionally learn {{m|Spiky Shield}}, allowing it to finish off weakened opponents that make contact.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is simple to counter. The following are several ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If the opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R. However, if the F.E.A.R.-using player predicts correctly, this problem can be solved using {{m|Pursuit}}.
* {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon: As Ghost types are immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them.
** It should be noted however, that a F.E.A.R. {{p|Kangaskhan}} or {{p|Taillow}}{{tt|*|Generation V on, Hidden Ability}} with {{a|Scrappy}} will still be able to use Endeavor against a Ghost-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon with an increased priority attacks (with exception of {{m|Fake Out}} and {{m|First Impression}}): if the opponent uses an increased-priority move at the same time as the F.E.A.R. Pokémon does, the large difference in level will almost always result in the opponent's Pokémon landing the hit first, leaving the opponent with little HP, but leaving the F.E.A.R. player with one Pokémon down. However, from Generation V onward, {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Extreme Speed}} have +2 priority, and are not countered by +1 priority moves.
* If the foe acts last due to battling in {{m|Trick Room}}{{tt|*|the F.E.A.R user is more likely if not always slower due to the massive level difference}}, holding a [[Full Incense]], using a decreased-priority move, or doing something similar, its attack will leave the attacking Pokémon with approximately 12 hit points after the first turn and the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will only have 1 hit point, causing an easy sweep on the second turn.
* A move that damages foes upon switching in (like {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
** Note that Doduo, Taillow, Starly, Togekiss, and Shaymin in its Sky Forme are immune to Spikes. Starting in [[Generation VIII]], a F.E.A.R. Pokémon with Sturdy has the option of holding [[Heavy-Duty Boots]].
* Moves, [[status condition]]s, Abilities, and weather that deal damage every turn (like {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{status|burn}}, or [[bound|binding]]) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{p|Tyranitar}} or {{p|Abomasnow}} activates its Ability.
** Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy, Aron, Corsola, Wormadam (Sandy and Trash Cloaks) and Swinub are immune to sandstorm (and the last one to {{weather|hail}} as well.)
* {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} prevent the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash and Shell Bell.
** Do note that, somewhat counter-intuitively, {{m|Knock Off}} will not serve to KO a F.E.A.R. Pokémon if it is at 100% HP unless Embargo is in effect. The F.E.A.R. Pokémon's Focus Sash will be knocked off ''after'' it has been successfully activated, and the Pokémon will still be able to use Endeavor to reduce the foe's HP.
* [[Black Sludge]]{{tt|*|if the holder is Poison-type}}, [[Leftovers]], being poisoned while having {{a|Poison Heal}} and an {{stat|HP}}-restoring [[Berry]] return some HP to the user's Pokémon, and more than likely, more than the opposing F.E.A.R. can deal with its increased-priority move.
* F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.
* [[Multistrike move]]s, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Triple Kick}}, will continue hitting after the Focus Sash or Sturdy triggers, causing the strategy to fail.
* [[Substitute (doll)|Substitutes]], either made with {{m|Substitute}} or {{m|Shed Tail}} or sent to an opponent's ally using {{m|Baton Pass}}, can protect opposing Pokémon from Endeavor.
** Note that {{p|Seviper}}, and very rarely {{p|Cottonee}} can have the ability {{a|Infiltrator}}, so they can hit Endeavor while surpassing the opposing Pokémon's Substitute.
* In [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, having multiple Pokémon use moves that will hit the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will cause it to faint, since the Focus Sash will only activate for the first attack. However, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Rage Powder}}, and {{p|Greninja}}'s {{m|Mat Block}} can aid the F.E.A.R. Pokémon.
* Although Sturdy acts like a Focus Sash from Generation V onward, the Abilities {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}} and {{a|Teravolt}}, as well as moves like {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, ignore this effect, countering any attempt to use F.E.A.R. with Sturdy. {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} also negates Sturdy.
* As Endeavor makes contact, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be finished off when its opponent is carrying a [[Rocky Helmet]] or has the Ability {{a|Rough Skin}} or {{a|Iron Barbs}}.
* Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Queenly Majesty}} or {{a|Dazzling}} are unaffected by opposing F.E.A.R. Pokémon's priority moves.
* When {{m|Psychic Terrain}} is in effect, Pokémon that are [[grounded|on the ground]] will not be affected by priority moves.

| Not countered by Sandstorm, poison, or paralysis. With the Sturdy ability, [[Focus Sash]] can be replaced with another item such as [[Shell Bell]]. Spiky Shield will only deal damage if the opponent attempts to use a [[contact]] move, but deals a set percentage of the opponent's health if successful, which will generally finish them off after Endeavor even if they've gained a small amount of health in the mean time, such as from [[Leftovers]].

==Catching Pokémon with F.E.A.R.==
By using F.E.A.R. while skipping the priority move, players can lower a target Pokémon's HP to 1, similar to using {{m|False Swipe}}, and more easily catch it than by battling it normally. After the wild Pokémon's HP has been lowered to 1, the player may freely begin throwing [[Poké Ball]]s and have a high chance of successfully capturing the Pokémon. A {{p|Cottonee}} may also inflict a priority paralysis (with {{a|Prankster}}) to further increase the [[catch rate]].

==Trivia==
*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], {{tc|Black Belt}} Brian in [[Hammerlocke]] has a level 2 Cottonee that uses a F.E.A.R. moveset and holds a Focus Sash. Defeating Brian gives the player a Focus Sash as a reward.
*While {{p|Golisopod}} is able to learn both Endeavor and Sucker Punch, it is incapable of using F.E.A.R. due to its Ability, {{a|Emergency Exit}}.
** Similarly, in [[Generation IX]], while {{p|Slaking}} is able to learn Endeavor and Sucker Punch, it is incapable of using F.E.A.R. due to its Ability, {{a|Truant}}.
