[[File:Mrs. Grimm.png|thumb|250px|Mrs. Grimm.]]
'''Mrs. Grimm''' (Japanese: '''キミヨ''' ''Kimiyo'') is a wealthy businesswoman and recurring character in {{aniseries|AG}}. She lives in a large [[Verdanturf Town]] mansion with her husband, [[Tommy Grimm|Tommy]], and son [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]].

==History==
Mrs. Grimm grew up in a wealthy household and followed her parent's wishes by taking over the family business. As a result of her family's expectations, she was forbidden to have any Pokémon because they were deemed a distraction. After her childhood {{p|Poochyena}} was forcibly removed from her arms by her parents, she grew up disliking Pokémon entirely. As an adult she forced her new husband, [[Tommy Grimm|Tommy]] to give up his [[Pokémon Coordinator]] ambitions, because of her upbringing.

She later became increasingly worried for her son [[Timmy Grimm|Timmy]] after he brought home a lost {{p|Duskull}} one night. In ''[[AG061|Disaster of Disguise]]'', Timmy's alter ego, "Phantom", was irritating Mrs. Grimm as she thought the mysterious masked person was going to destroy her son's future as a businessman. However, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} tricked her into believing that {{an|Brock}} was "Phantom", much to her relief.

In ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]'', Timmy sneaked out of home with the help of his father and went on to compete in the [[Verdanturf Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. Mrs. Grimm later discovered Timmy's escape when Tommy blankly informed her. She immediately drove herself down to the [[Contest Hall]] to confront her son. Tommy reminded Mrs. Grimm of her own passion for Pokémon, which led Mrs. Grimm to confront her own past. She went on to cheer Timmy as he competed against {{an|May}} in the final round. Afterwards, Mrs. Grimm chose not to repeat her own parents' mistakes, and gave Timmy her blessing to follow his dream as a Pokémon Coordinator, provided he kept up on his schoolwork.

==Character==
Mrs. Grimm is an ambitious businesswoman, who hopes to see her son, Timmy, succeed in life. However her parents' expectations caused her to become strict and brutish towards her own family. She was forced to confront her past and her parents' pressures in ''[[AG062|Disguise Da Limit]]''. Despite her frustrations with her son for running away to become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], she came around to the idea of supporting his ambitions to avoid repeating her own parents' mistakes.

'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has four [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', '''Complete Forme''', and '''Mega Zygarde'''.

Complete Forme Zygarde can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde using the [[Zygardite]]. Mega Zygarde was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s''', which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a [[Zygarde Cube]].

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] played an important role in {{aniseries|XY}} during the ''XY&Z'' arc.

Zygarde plays a central role in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], serving as a key figure in its storyline.

Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s it has assembled. It is the guardian of the [[Pokémon world]]'s ecosystem,<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"It is said this Legendary Pokémon is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref><ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme]</ref> and is responsible for monitoring it for abnormalities from the cave it resides it. It is capable of {{a|Aura Break|reversing}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"[[Kalos]]ian Legends: {{p|Xerneas}}, the Life {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos region. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Zygarde (Archived)]</ref> It is also known to ask for [[human]]s to assist it in protecting the ecosystem, but can be wary of those it does not trust. In all of its forms, it can fly at blinding speeds. It can fire a {{m|Core Enforcer|powerful energy beam}} from its mouth, which carves a Z on the ground and suppresses the target's [[Ability]]. It can also gather the energy of the land to make it {{m|Land's Wrath|errupt}} with tremendous force to damage opponents. Its Cells can be used to attack foes, either shooting them as {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} that can damage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, or sending them crawling along the ground {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}} that prevent enemies from [[Escape|fleeing]] or being [[recall]]ed. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde can summon and control massive roots, which it can use to attack and cover areas. In the same episode, the green color on Zygarde's body changed to red while under the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the anime, Zygarde is shown to be capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.

Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]]s {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.

===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.

[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Zygarde Core]]s serve as brains for Zygarde]]
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost indistinguishable. Both are small, green cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their body can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: a Core has a black pupil and a red hexagon on its abdomen, while these are both green on a Cell.

[[File:Zygarde Cells flying towards a Zygarde Core.png|right|thumb|250px|[[Zygarde Cell]]s flying towards a Zygarde Core]]
If Zygarde uses up its power, its Cores and Cells scatter off to different areas of the world to absorb their power, and they request assistance from humans to help them replenish their strength.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting Pokémon from the light of [[ultimate weapon]]... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking [[human]]s who would give it aid."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> Zygarde Cores have wills of their own, while Cells do not, acting only in accordance to a Core's orders. In any form of Zygarde, the Cores act as brains. The Cells exist in much greater numbers than the Cores and tend to be scattered around the world. On their own, Cores and Cells do not have power to battle and need to be assembled in order to take action.<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Zygarde's Cores and Cells] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archive])</ref> Zygarde may contain up to five Cores.

As depicted throughout {{aniseries|XY}}, Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells have the ability to turn invisible. Moreover, it revealed that a Core is able to watch over the ecosystem through the eyes of a Cell, can communicate telepathically with other Cores, and does not need to eat, instead absorbing sunlight for sustenance. As depicted in {{Aniseries|HZ}}, Cells are capable of transmitting what they see to anyone Zygarde wishes.

;10% Forme
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Zygarde's 10% Forme]]
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip.

Zygarde 10% Forme is created when only a tenth of its Cells have gathered.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Zygarde 10% Forme]</ref> It is skilled at close-range combat, overwhelming its opponents with its sharp fangs. It tends to leap at its opponent's chest and sinks its sharp fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 mph (100 km/h). However, it cannot maintain this form indefinitely, and it will eventually fall apart. Zygarde can wrap its "leash" around the arm of those it trusts; however, they can't remove it at will, which might cause them to be pulled when Zygarde runs. The 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Zygarde 10% Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archive])</ref>
{{left clear}}

;50% Forme
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing.

Zygarde 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting. Despite being at only half of its possible total, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way. The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Zygarde 50% Forme] (Archived)</ref> There are rumors that even greater power lies hidden within it, being capable of {{A|Power Construct|changing}} to an even more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.

;Complete Forme
[[File:Zygarde Complete SM concept art.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Zygarde Complete Forme's complex physiology]]
Zygarde Complete Form is a large humanoid Pokémon. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body.

The Complete Forme is Zygarde's perfected form, created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. In this state, Zygarde can fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the ecosystem by suppressing those who willingly endanger it. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Zygarde Complete Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143718/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archive])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably, the tip of its wings consist of heads that can be used to attack with energy beams, propel itself, and restore an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal, as seen in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Zygarde Complete Forme]</ref> It has also been shown to form a green, protective barrier to shield itself and its allies. This form only appears to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s [[Giant Rock]], the [[ultimate weapon]], [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and Hyperrogue [[Ange]] {{p|Floette#Forms|Floette}}. The Complete Forme is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.

;Mega Zygarde
Mega Zygarde's body undergoes a dramatic transformation. Notably, it loses most of its body armor except for chest armor and an armored, crowned head to resemble a more humanoid and less dragon-like build. Its main body features a striking combination of dark and light green colors. Underneath the chest armor, there is a three-hexagon pattern, with two hexagons located on each of its legs. The legs and feet have a rhomboid shape topped with two triangular shapes. Additionally, each leg has two black hexagons and one white hexagon attached to its center. The arms resemble a two-fingered hexagonal hand. Mega Zygarde's tail connects to the chest armor like a cape, while the chest armor itself resembles tree roots. At the center of the chest armor, there are two long hexagonal shapes with three longer ones positioned to the sides. The chest armor features red and blue hexagons, each surrounded by three green hexagons. Mega Zygarde's head is adorned with a green headpiece shaped like flames. Its eyes are green as well, and the lower part of its eyes connects to the pink part of its chest armor. Only two black hexagons of Mega Zygarde remain, connected to two black squares at the bottom of the well. Surrounding the head is three-spiked neck armor at the front, which connects to two long black spikes and one triangular black spike behind the head.

Mega Zygarde's most distinguishing feature is the giant, hammer-shaped cannon attached to its six 90-degree arms on its chest armor. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, decorated with several rectangular shapes and lines. At the center of the cannon, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Six rectangular shapes are attached to the back of the cannon. The interior of the cannon features a circle, three hexagons, and a central circle.

Mega Zygarde was first discovered in [[Lumiose City]]. This form of Zygarde was said to be born from the people's emotions during an unexpected crisis. In response, Mega Zygarde emerges to calm the situation with its unmatched power. When it attacks with its cannon, it maneuvers it using its six arms. The cannon then opens up in the shape of an "X", a "Y", then a "Z", and unleashes a {{M|Nihil Light|pink light blast}} that defies all laws of nature, striking even {{type|Fairy}}s and ignoring any of its foes' [[stat]] changes. The cannon's blast was powerful enough to destroy a powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}} attack launched by Hyperrogue Ange Floette, which threatened to annihilate all of Lumiose City. [[Lysandre|L]] notes that Mega Zygarde's unique attack resembles the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] [[region]].<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]—they reminded me of [[Z-Move]]s, like those used in the [[Alola]] [[region]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an upgraded version of Core Enforcer.

===Form data===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s also appear in the story of the [[Generation VII]] games, but they are not catchable Pokémon or registered in the Pokédex; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.

In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form was 50% Forme (unnamed at the time).

Since [[Generation VII]], all three forms are available. Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can be changed with the help of external tools: the [[Reassembly Unit]] and the Zygarde Cube. Zygarde can enter its Complete Forme during battle, and only if it has the Ability Power Construct.

The 10% Forme and 50% Forme of Zygarde can have the {{Abilities}} {{a|Aura Break}} or {{a|Power Construct}}. Internally, these are all separate forms. This makes it impossible to switch Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]] must be used instead.

;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde could only have Aura Break and had no forms.

In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break could be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine could create a 10% or 50% Zygarde with Aura Break or upgrade a 10% Zygarde with Aura Break to 50%; it could also upgrade either to a 50% Zygarde with Power Construct.

Since [[Generation VIII]], the [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.

;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change Forme"{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since [[Generation VIII]], its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.

Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.

=====[[Squishy]]=====
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and it subsequently came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with it and [[nickname]]d it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.

=====[[Z2]]=====
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', being contacted by [[Squishy]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] is revealed to own a {{Shiny|White}} Zygarde, which was first seen in its 10% Forme. In a flashback in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', it was revealed that it actually used to be a 50% Forme Zygarde, but it lost that form when it attempted to sacrificed most of its [[Zygarde Cell]]s to seal the [[Laquium]] crystals away in [[Laqua]], to protect the {{pkmn|world}}'s ecosystem from it. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it returned to Laqua alongside Gibeon, which allowed it to reunite with its Cells and regain its 50% Forme. In [[HZ088|the following episode]], it battled against [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Amethio]], but when it approved the group's strength, it forfeited the battle, disassembling into Cells and sadly abandoning Gibeon. A year after Gibeon passed away, in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', [[Hamber]] gave [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the mission to find and gather all of Zygarde's Cells.

=====Other=====
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.

====Minor appearances====
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.

A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Zygarde Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]''. It first appeared in [[Anistar City]], where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Emma|Essentia]]. It was later used by her against [[Team Flare]]'s enemies at [[Pokémon Village]]. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting [[Lysandre]] to take direct control of Zygarde. When [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.

Zygarde also played a notable role in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. Having been sent to [[Alola]] to find it, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] hired {{adv|Sun}} to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the arc, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} at [[Mount Lanakila]] alongside {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

===Origin===
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to Zygarde's partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.

Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depicting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depicting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.

====Name origin====
"Zygarde" begins with the letter {{wp|Z}}, following the pattern established by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for joined) or ''zygote'', ''garde'' (French for guard), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).

Gift Pokémon

2022-12-07T04:13:28Z

Herowho: /* Main series */

While a {{pkmn|Trainer}} is on an adventure, they may be given {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. These Pokémon are known as '''gift Pokémon'''. Types of gift Pokémon include [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon Egg]]s. They exist in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

==Gift Pokémon given by Trainers in the games==
As with wild Pokémon, gift Pokémon will have the last four moves they could have learned by level up except under extraordinary circumstances. Normally, the player is treated as the [[Original Trainer]] of gift Pokémon they receive from NPCs; however, in some particular cases, such as {{jo|Webster}}'s {{p|Spearow}} in {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and [[N's Pokémon]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the NPC is retained as the Pokémon's Original Trainer.

'''Grimmsnarl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーロンゲ''' ''Ohlonge'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

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

Grimmsnarl has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Grimmsnarl is a green-skinned humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with most of its body covered in dark purple hair, except part of its face, its abdomen, its feet and a small red patch on its chest. Like its pre-evolutions, Grimmsnarl has large crescent-shaped ears with red insides, albeit they are longer on this form. Its long, sharp nose points upward and has a single long red nostril. It has a blue tongue and six teeth protruding from its mouth, the front four of which are flat, two on each jaw, while its upper jaw also has one sharp fang on each side. It has white eyes with red irises and black pupils, and grey eyelids. Its face ends in a small pointy chin.

Grimmsnarl's hands and feet have three pointed digits each. Most of its long hair wraps around its body, except for a lock on each side of its face, a few spikes raised on its shoulders and some locks draping from behind its legs resembling a cape. While being bulkier than its pre-evolutions, Grimmsnarl is more slender than it appears to be, with its hair giving the appearance of a muscular body. It is a male-only species.

While in its Gigantamax form, it becomes much taller and all of its body except its face and chest mark is covered in hair. Its limbs become longer, and its hair now makes up its hands and feet, each with three and two digits respectively. Its eyes are red with white pupils, and the hair from around its neck and shoulders is raised in a pointy collar shape surrounding its head as the two longer rear locks join in a single spike waving above the head. Three red clouds surround the back hair that pointed up.

Grimmsnarl's hair works like muscle fibers and helps enhance its strength. Grimmsnarl is able to move its hair, and uses them to ensnare opponents in a tentacle-like fashion. By using its hair in this way, Grimmsnarl is powerful enough to overwhelm {{p|Machamp}}.

When in Gigantamax form, it creates a powerful drill with its leg hair. This drill can create large holes within [[Galar]]'s terrain. Thanks to its increased strength, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl can jump over the world's tallest building.

Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved form {{p|Morgrem}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|False Surrender}}, as well as the only Pokémon, in addition to {{p|Impidimp}}, to currently learn {{m|Confide}} by leveling up. In addition, Grimmsnarl is the only Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Spirit Break}} and the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Snooze}}.

==Trivia==
* No Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms.
** Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are also the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon to have a double resistance to {{type|Dark}} moves.
* Grimmsnarl, {{p|Hatterene}}, and their evolutionary families can be considered counterparts.
** Both are [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon evolving once at level 32 then at level 42.
** Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are male only, while Hatterene and its pre-evolved forms are female only.
** Their final evolved forms are both Fairy-type Pokémon with identical base experience and catch rates.
** Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line have the same base stat total as their counterpart (e.g. Grimmsnarl and Hatterene both have a base stat total of 510).
** Both Pokémon also have a Gigantamax form, a signature G-Max move, and use their body hair as their primary weapon.
** In addition, both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins and Hatterene resembles witches.
** Lastly, both are the signature Pokémon of two of the [[rival]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], [[Marnie]] with Grimmsnarl and [[Bede]] with Hatterene.
* Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved forms are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Fairy}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* Grimmsnarl is tied with {{p|Granbull}} for the highest base Attack stat of all non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} Fairy-type Pokémon.
===Origin===
Grimmsnarl may be based on {{wp|ogre}}s, {{wp|troll}}s, and potentially {{wp|oni}}, all large and malevolent humanoid creatures from folklore and mythology that are commonly depicted with grotesque appearances and abundant hair. It may also be based on modern artwork of the {{wp|Chimimōryō}}, a general term for monsters of the mountains and rivers, particularly of the large and hairy creatures. Like its pre-evolutions, Grimmsnarl also shares traits with {{wp|goblin}}s. The fact that its strength comes from its hair may be a reference to {{wp|Samson}} from the {{wp|Book of Judges}}.

Considering its association with {{p|Hatterene}}, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|bogeyman}}, {{wp|bugbear}}, or {{wp|Coco (folklore)|coco}}, fictional creatures created throughout European cultures to frighten children that do not want to sleep or stay quiet. In addition, it resembles depictions of {{wp|Grendel}}, a giant monster from the Old English epic poem ''{{wp|Beowulf}}'', described as a "creature of darkness" and known for his immense strength.

====Name origin====
Grimmsnarl may be a combination of ''grim'' and ''snarl''. The spelling of ''Grimm-'' may also indicate Grimmsnarl was named after the {{wp|Brothers Grimm}}, a duo of brothers who traveled Europe gathering folklore and oral fairy-tales and cataloging them all into a singular book, ''{{wp|Grimms' Fairy Tales}}''. Its name could also incorporate the words ''gnarly'', referring to its mangled appearance or unpleasant behavior; ''{{wp|grimoire}}'', a type of spellbook; ''{{wp|Grímnismál}}'', a mythological poem in the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}''; and "grimace", a term for a twisted facial expression which Grimmsnarl bears.

Ohlonge may be a combination of ''ogre'' and ロン毛 ''ronge'' (long hair).

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] and becomes the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the {{pkmn|world}} after obtaining the title of Monarch in the [[World Coronation Series]] in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', defeating Leon is the main objective {{Ash}} and several other characters.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Young Leon Sonia.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Sonia as children]]
====Pre-series====
Born and raised in [[Galar]], Leon was a childhood friend of [[Sonia]]'s. The two of them traveled together when they started on their [[Pokémon journey]].

As revealed in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', [[Rose]] was responsible for inserting Leon into the world of [[Pokémon battle]]s. Leon's closeness to Rose ended up driving Sonia away from him.

Leon went through the {{gal|Pokémon League}} of Galar undefeated, which eventually guaranteed him the top spot among the Eight Masters of the [[World Coronation Series]].

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Leon Charmeleon.png|right|thumb|250px|Leon as a teenager]]
Leon debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he had a bout against [[Lance]] in the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]], using his {{p|Charizard}} to go up against [[Lance's Gyarados]]. After a hard-fought battle, Leon emerged victorious, making him the [[World Coronation Series#Master Class|Monarch]] of the World Coronation Series. Shortly after the battle with Lance, in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', where Leon heard a commotion outside the stadium and went to see what was happening. Leon saw {{Ash}} battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Drednaw}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}} and noticed that he had Gigantamaxed without a [[Dynamax Band]]. He gave Ash advice that allowed him to defeat Drednaw before properly introducing himself to them. The next day, Leon approached Ash and [[Goh]] at the [[Wyndon]] [[Pokémon Center]] and accepted Ash's earlier request for a battle. Beforehand, Leon gave Ash an explanation of how [[Dynamax]]ing and [[G-Max Move]]s worked and gave him his own Dynamax Band. During the battle, both sides Gigantamaxed their Pokémon, with Pikachu even managing to land a couple hits on Charizard, but in the end, Pikachu was defeated. Ash and Leon then promised to each other that once Ash was strong enough, they would battle again.

Leon reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', when Ash explains to some kids about his goals.
[[File:Leon and Raihan anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Leon and Raihan]]
In ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', Leon has a battle for the World Coronation Series with [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. After a tough match, Leon emerged victorious, with this victory, Leon manages to defend his Monarch title. Afterwards, he greeted Ash and [[Chairman Rose]] and encourages Raihan to retrain so they can battle in the future.

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield, Slumbering Weald!]]'', during a series of Pokémon attacks that were using Dynamax and Gigantamax in an uncontrolled way, he had Charizard attack a rampaging Gigantamax {{p|Centiskorch}}. After defeating it, Leon reunited with Ash, and they flew off together to deal with other rampaging Pokémon. Later, they encountered a Dynamax {{p|Pangoro}}, which defeated in ''[[JN043|Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!]]''. He later took on a {{p|Coalossal}} that had Gigantamaxed and took it down alongside Ash. Soon after, Rose and [[Oleana]] arrived. Leon was later seen in [[Hammerlocke]], where it was revealed that he was suspicious of Rose, and that he planned to investigate the city's [[Energy Plant]]. This investigation took Leon to the place where {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} was being held prisoner, when he ended up breaking free and getting out of control, Leon decided that he had to capture it so he could calm the Pokémon down. Leon met Rose, who revealed his real intentions and, after confronting his former tutor together with Ash, he went to face Eternatus.
[[File:JN044.png|thumb|250px|Leon about to face Eternatus]]
In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', Leon and Charizard battled against Eternatus after it was re-awakened, but despite Charizard's best efforts they still struggled against the might of the Legendary Pokémon. When Leon attempted to Gigantamax Charizard, Eternatus absorbed all of the Dynamax energy from the area, preventing Leon from successfully Gigantamaxing Charizard. Along with Sonia, Leon witnesses Ash and [[Goh]] joining forces with [[Hero duo (anime)#Zacian|Zacian]] and [[Hero duo (anime)#Zamazenta|Zamazenta]] and finally managing to contain the power of Eternatus. When everything was finally resolved, Sonia revealed to [[Professor Magnolia]] that Leon was searching for Rose who disappeared after the entire incident.
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|left|thumb|250px|Leon and Ash]]
Leon made a cameo appearance at the end of ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'' while watching Ash's World Coronation Series match against [[Volkner]].

In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Leon visited the [[Glimwood Tangle]] before heading to [[Ballonlea]], where he met up with Raihan, Ash, Goh, and [[Chloe]]. Leon took part in [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]], but lost to Ash. He then agreed to referee the battle between Ash and Opal.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Leon appeared at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], watching the World Coronation Series match between Ash and [[Bea]]. During the battle, he arrived late, shocking the entire audience and serving as a commentator. At the end of the battle, Leon decided to leave without talking to any of the competitors, which left Ash disappointed.

He is set to reappear in [[JN100]].

===Character===
[[File:Leon Charizard pose anime.png|thumb|250px|Leon doing his signature Charizard pose]]
Leon is a strong Trainer, having reached the final round of the [[World Coronation Series]] and subsequently becoming the Monarch, thus being undefeated for some time. Leon is also a good sportsman, as seen in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', when he complimented [[Lance]] after their battle and shook his hand. Leon also has a very strong sense of justice, refusing to follow [[Chairman Rose]]'s orders to capture {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}} for the former's personal ambitions, opting to seal Eternatus away to prevent the [[Darkest Day]] from occurring.

Leon is remarkably knowledgeable about the [[Gigantamax]]ing phenomenon, as seen in ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', when he advised {{Ash}} on how to battle with his Gigantamax {{AP|Pikachu}} in order to deal with a {{p|Drednaw}} that also had Gigantamax. During Ash's battle against [[Opal]], he realized that Pikachu had not Gigantamaxed, but rather bloated from the cream of {{m|G-Max Finale}}. Furthermore, Leon is shown to have great knowledge on how [[Mega Evolution]] works, being able to recognize the great bond {{AP|Lucario}} has with Ash.

Leon tends to change the moves that his Pokémon uses, as seen in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]'', where {{p|Charizard}} used three different moves than what it had used previously.

Like his game [[Leon|counterpart]], Leon has a difficult time with directions, resulting in him becoming lost in the [[Glimwood Tangle]] and needing [[wild Pokémon]] to show him the way to [[Ballonlea]].

The '''creation trio''' is a fan term used to refer to three powerful [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Other fan terms include '''deity trio''' and '''dragon trio'''.

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]] and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]] only, Dialga and Palkia were referenced as "mythical Pokémon" with a lowercase ''M'', seemingly a subset of rather than a distinct group from Legendary; it should be noted that this was prior to the use of the term Mythical with a capital ''M'' from Generation V and onwards, and was a translation of '''神話のポケモン''' ''mythical Pokémon'' rather than '''幻のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'', the latter of which is referenced by the currently-used English term Mythical.

Much like members of other Legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their secondary type, as well as a [[base stats|base stat total]] of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}}, divided among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, in different orders.

The three members of this trio share the Ability {{a|Pressure}}, as well as the Hidden Ability {{a|Telepathy}}—however, Giratina's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] has {{a|Levitate}}. Likewise, the three are the [[game mascot]]s of the three [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.

The creation trio makes another appearance in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. An event involving [[Cynthia]] and {{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] will allow a single one of the three to be obtained at [[level]] 1.

The trio has two distinct Forms that is unique to them. The '''Altered Forme''' is a form the trio assumes when outside their home dimension and one humans are familiar with the most. The '''Origin Forme''', on the other hand, is considered to be their true forms and them at full power when inside their home dimension or with an item to change into said Formes.

==History==
According to the [[Sinnoh myths|legends of Sinnoh]], they were simultaneously created by {{p|Arceus}}, also known as the "Original One", when the universe and Sinnoh region began at [[Spear Pillar]]. Dialga and Palkia were given control over their representative dimensions (time and space respectively) while Giratina was banished to the [[Distortion World]] for its violent nature. The [[lake guardians]] were then created to help control and calm Dialga or Palkia should they be enraged.

Each member of the trio have control over their own [[dimensions]]. Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the {{wp|spacetime|four-dimensional universe}} that the [[Pokémon world]], like our own, is a part of. Giratina has control over antimatter and the [[Distortion World]], where time does not flow and space is unstable.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Featured Pokémon M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus and the creation trio in [[M12|the twelfth movie]]]]

====In the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' movie trilogy====
{{main|Dialga (movie)}}
{{main|Palkia (movie)}}
{{main|Giratina (movie)}}

Dialga and Palkia debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. In this {{pkmn|movie}}, their two worlds, the Temporal World and the Spatial World, collided, leading the two to mistakenly believe that they were intentionally invading each other's territory. As such, the two began to violently clash, causing large distortions between time and space in [[Alamos Town]]. However, Palkia sustained injury when one of the pearls on its arm was cracked. Palkia then took refuge in Alamos Town and also wound up transferring the town to the Spatial World. Dialga then appeared before it once {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} forced Palkia to reveal itself. The two then violently continued fighting in the town. Darkrai also intervened in their fight to protect the town, and Dialga and Palkia continued to fight with Darkrai involved, causing massive destruction around Alamos Town. However, {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} soon activated the song [[Oración]] on the [[Space-Time Towers]], which becalmed Dialga and Palkia, prompting them to end their fight. Palkia then restored Alamos Town to its original state, and left right after Dialga.

The same Dialga appeared again in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', along with Giratina. In this movie, it was revealed that the fighting between Dialga and Palkia in the previous movie caused many toxic clouds to appear in Giratina's [[Reverse World]]. Giratina, furious at the two for defiling its home, sought revenge on Dialga, attacking it violently near a lake and drawing it into the Reverse World. As the two battled, Dialga attempted to escape, but Giratina constantly kept pulling it in. However, the vortex caused by Giratina abducting Dialga ended up pulling a fearful {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}} into the Reverse World on accident. In fear of the situation, Shaymin ended up using {{m|Seed Flare}}, which opened up a portal, and Dialga escaped by locking Giratina into a time loop.

Giratina, seeking to regain its ability to traverse between the [[Pokémon world]] and the Reverse World, went after Shaymin. However, Shaymin was under the impression that Giratina wanted to eat it and thus was terrified of it. When Zero appeared, Shaymin forcibly opened up a portal using Seed Flare, in which Giratina broke free from the time loop and regained the ability to traverse between the two worlds. Zero, in his goal to take control of the Reverse World, used a special machine to absorb Giratina's powers, which almost killed Giratina until [[Newton Graceland]] hacked the database. Giratina then struggled to stay alive until Shaymin used {{m|Aromatherapy}} to restore it to a healthy state. Giratina then helped Ash and Shaymin defeat Zero, and when Shaymin opened a portal to help everyone escape, Giratina restrained Zero's ship and caused it to malfunction. It then helped Ash out of the Reverse World, but then flew away, which Newton Graceland suspected must have meant that Dialga was nearby.

Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. When a harsh distortion appeared and almost got {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} abducted into the vortex, [[Sheena]] appeared on the scene and used her mysterious power to summon Dialga, who arrived and saved Pikachu and Piplup, then destroyed the vortex with {{m|Roar of Time}}. However, its presence drew in Giratina, who was still enraged at Dialga; it appeared from the lake and violently attacked Dialga. Sheena tried to communicate with it, but its rage ended up making the process difficult. However, Ash appeared and called out to Giratina; when it recognized Ash, it calmed down. Then, Sheena communicated with Giratina, telling it that it misunderstood Dialga and it should not battle it. Giratina then returned to the Reverse World in peace. However, another distortion appeared and Dialga ended up being trapped in the vortex. Luckily enough, Palkia appeared and used {{m|Spacial Rend}} to destroy this vortex, then bent space around Dialga to get it out of the vortex safely. Sheena then thanked Dialga and Palkia, and the two left in peace.

In this movie, it was revealed that the harsh distortions in time and space, and the subsequent conflict between the creation trio, was caused by the awakening of {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. When Arceus awoke and prepared to judge humanity as revenge for Damos' supposed betrayal eras ago, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all fought to protect humanity from Arceus, with Palkia bending space to restrain Arceus; and Dialga sending Ash, his friends, and Sheena [[Time travel|back into time]] to alter the chain of events that caused Arceus's wrath. After history was changed and Arceus had restored [[Michina Town]], the creation trio parted ways with Ash and {{ashfr}}, and returned to their respective dimensions.

====In ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''====
Dialga and Palkia reappeared briefly in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', where they were summoned by [[Cyrus]] using the power of the {{an|lake guardians}} and the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs. They were then controlled by the Red Chain to help Cyrus create his new universe. However, the {{an|lake guardians}}, along with their chosen three protectors, Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}}, helped free them of the Red Chain's control. Dialga and Palkia then destroyed Cyrus's universe and went into a fit of rage. However, the trio and the lake guardians helped to quell their rage and the lake guardians sent the two back to their dimensions. It was unclear whether or not these are the same Dialga and Palkia that appeared in the movies.

====In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''====
Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all reappeared again in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were summoned and hypnotized by the entity of the {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} {{an|Hoopa}}, along with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Kyogre}}, Primal {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Kyurem}} in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. They fought with {{me|Latias}}, Mega {{p|Latios}}, and a {{Shiny}} Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in the process. Eventually, after they were freed from Hoopa's control, they helped in holding off a dimensional wall from consuming a large number of citizens in Dahara City. Afterwards, they left the scene and returned to their dimensions.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Creation trio PG.png|thumb|250px|The creation trio in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The creation trio appeared in ''[[PG11|The New World]]''. [[Cyrus]] first summoned Dialga and Palkia and controlled them with the [[Red Chain]]. After doing so, Giratina suddenly appeared from the [[Distortion World]]. Cyrus had Dialga and Palkia attack Giratina, but Giratina destroyed the Red Chains that were controlling them by using {{m|Shadow Ball}}. This freed them from Cyrus's control. Giratina then took Cyrus with it to the Distortion World and Cyrus ultimately decided to stay with Giratina.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Creation trio (Adventures)}}
At the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, both Dialga and Palkia are summoned by [[Cyrus]] at the [[Spear Pillar]] so that they can be forced to fight each other to create a new world. After Cyrus's plans are thwarted, Giratina appears and drags Cyrus, Dialga, and Palkia into the [[Distortion World]].

In the {{chap|Platinum|following chapter}}, Giratina serves as one of the main antagonists alongside [[Charon]].

Chronologically, the first appearance of the trio was during the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, where they were revived by {{p|Arceus}} to wreak havoc on humanity. After Arceus was calmed by {{adv|Gold}}, Giratina escaped to the Distortion World while Dialga and Palkia went to the Spear Pillar.

===In the Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Adventure! manga===
In this manga, Dialga is more prominent than Palkia or Giratina. For [[Hareta]], one of the goals of his journey is to meet Dialga. Dialga also is the one summoned by Cyrus at the Spear Pillar. After Hareta stopped him, Palkia appeared.

Later, Hareta battles with Giratina in the [[Distortion World]].

'''Chimchar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒコザル''' ''Hikozaru'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Monferno}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Piplup}}, Chimchar is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Chimchar flameless.png|thumb|220px|A sleeping Chimchar — note the lack of a flame]]
Chimchar is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, though its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its rear has a small, round, red patch that is usually obscured by flames produced by burning gas in its stomach. These flames go out when it goes to sleep, and burn weakly when it feels ill. Chimchar's ears are large in comparison to its head size and red inside. It has two pointed teeth in its upper jaw.

==Trivia==
* Chimchar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Grookey}}. They are both known as the Chimp Pokémon.

===Origin===
Chimchar appears to be based on a young {{wp|chimpanzee}}. However, the markings on its rear without the flame seem to indicate that it is more a cross between a chimpanzee and a young {{wp|baboon}}.

====Name origin====
Chimchar is a combination of ''{{wp|chimp}}'' and ''{{wp|charcoal}}'' or ''char'' (to burn).

Hikozaru is a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 子 ''ko'' (child), and 猿 ''saru'' ({{wp|monkey}}). ''Zaru'' is also used to describe an {{wp|ape}}.

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Monferno is a bipedal, primate-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Orange fur covers most of its body, except for its ears, muzzle, fingers, circular areas on its palms, feet, and chest, which are tan. A small tuft of fur extends from the top of Monferno's head, and it has oval, brown eyes. Its eyes have a thick blue marking above and a small, red marking in-between. Its muzzle is short and blunt, with two small, pointed teeth in its upper jaw. There is a white ruff of fur around its neck and gold bands around its arms near its shoulders. It has five fingers on each hand, but only three toes on each foot. Its long tail has a red ring around the base and a flame burning at the tip.

The flame on Monferno's tail has several purposes. Primarily, it can be controlled to keep opponents at an ideal distance or stretched in order to make Monferno appear larger. The size of its flame, in combination with the brightness of its facial marking, indicates this Pokémon's position in its pack. The bigger the flame and the brighter the pattern, the higher the Pokémon's position. In addition to using its flaming tail as a weapon, Monferno can also leap from ceilings or walls to perform aerial attacks.

==Trivia==
* Monferno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pancham}}. They are both known as the Playful Pokémon.

===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|golden snub-nosed monkey}} or a {{wp|mandrill}}, a primate similar to a {{wp|baboon}}. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{t|Fighting}} type.

====Name origin====
Monferno is a combination of ''{{wp|monkey}}'' and ''inferno''.

Moukazaru is a combination of 猛火 ''mōka'' (roaring flames) and 猿 ''saru'' (monkey).

Walking Pokémon

2021-05-08T21:06:13Z

Herowho: /* List of walking Pokémon in the anime */

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, [[Mustard]] will allow the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot to follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Some will even follow the player into the water if they are a [[Water-type]] Pokémon capable of swimming or if they are a [[Flying-type]] Pokémon or Pokémon capable of flying or levitating. Otherwise, Pokémon that do not follow these attributes will disappear if the player enters the water, but will reappear once the player reaches land. The speed at which Pokémon move will vary from individual Pokémon. This feature can be toggled off by an NPC in the [[Master Dojo]] if the player so wishes.

The feature carries over to the [[Crown Tundra]] once the player reaches [[Freezington]] and meets the mayor for the first time, who will give the player the right to have the first Pokémon in their party follow them around the Crown Tundra. The same features from the Isle of Armor carry over, and likewise, the feature can be toggled off by an NPC in Freezington.

Walking Pokémon is exclusive to the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra locations, and does not carry over to mainland Galar.

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, except for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon since it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball, he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris, he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have at least one or two walking Pokémon alongside them, including [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Snowy]], [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], [[Sandy]], and the Mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, although it was still a wild Pokémon as it was being taken care of. Ash himself has most of his Alolan Pokémon outside with him, including {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack, {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}, and the Mythical Pokémon {{AP|Meltan}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] and {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} are another group of walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as they usually stay out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking Pokémon in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually let it stay outside its Poké Ball until it evolved.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

====Kanto====
In the {{chap|Yellow}}, [[Pika]] ({{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}) went together with {{adv|Yellow}} on a quest to find {{adv|Red}}, which was mysteriously missing. During this journey with Yellow, Pika was walking outside of his Poké Ball, because Red's Poké Balls disappeared with him. This may be a reference to the fact that {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's starter Pikachu}} follows him in {{game|Yellow}}.

====Hoenn====
From the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, [[Peeko]] ([[Mr. Briney]]'s {{p|Wingull}}) is often seen following him rather than kept inside of a Poké Ball.

===Movie adaptations===
Similar to the anime, several Pokémon have walked with their Trainers.

Since [[Poké Ball]]s are illegal in [[Ryme City]], most Pokémon in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' are seen walking alongside their Trainers. Most notably, [[Harry Goodman]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Lucy Stevens]]'s {{p|Psyduck}} are never seen in a Poké Ball throughout the movie.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' is the only {{pkmn|anime}} series to date not to have any walking Pokémon besides {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|regular group}}.

Walking Pokémon

Herowho: /* List of walking Pokémon in the anime */

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, [[Mustard]] will allow the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot to follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Some will even follow the player into the water if they are a [[Water-type]] Pokémon capable of swimming or if they are a [[Flying-type]] Pokémon or Pokémon capable of flying or levitating. Otherwise, Pokémon that do not follow these attributes will disappear if the player enters the water, but will reappear once the player reaches land. The speed at which Pokémon move will vary from individual Pokémon. This feature can be toggled off by an NPC in the [[Master Dojo]] if the player so wishes.

The feature carries over to the [[Crown Tundra]] once the player reaches [[Freezington]] and meets the mayor for the first time, who will give the player the right to have the first Pokémon in their party follow them around the Crown Tundra. The same features from the Isle of Armor carry over, and likewise, the feature can be toggled off by an NPC in Freezington.

Walking Pokémon is exclusive to the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra locations, and does not carry over to mainland Galar.

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, except for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon since it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball, he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris, he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have at least one or two walking Pokémon alongside them, including [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Snowy]], [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], [[Sandy]], and the Mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, although it was still a wild Pokémon as it was being taken care of. Ash himself has most of his Alolan Pokémon outside with him, including {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack, {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}, and the Mythical Pokémon {{AP|Meltan}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] and {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} are another group of walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as they usually stay out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking Pokémon in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually let it stay outside its Poké Ball until it evolved.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

====Kanto====
In the {{chap|Yellow}}, [[Pika]] ({{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}) went together with {{adv|Yellow}} on a quest to find {{adv|Red}}, which was mysteriously missing. During this journey with Yellow, Pika was walking outside of his Poké Ball, because Red's Poké Balls disappeared with him. This may be a reference to the fact that {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's starter Pikachu}} follows him in {{game|Yellow}}.

====Hoenn====
From the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, [[Peeko]] ([[Mr. Briney]]'s {{p|Wingull}}) is often seen following him rather than kept inside of a Poké Ball.

===Movie adaptations===
Similar to the anime, several Pokémon have walked with their Trainers.

==In other media==
===''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''===
Since [[Poké Ball]]s are illegal in [[Ryme City]], most Pokémon in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' are seen walking alongside their Trainers. Most notably, [[Harry Goodman]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Lucy Stevens]]'s {{p|Psyduck}} are never seen in a Poké Ball throughout the movie.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' is the only {{pkmn|anime}} series to date not to have any walking Pokémon besides {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|regular group}}.

Walking Pokémon

2021-05-08T21:03:20Z

Herowho: /* List of walking Pokémon in the anime */

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, [[Mustard]] will allow the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot to follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Some will even follow the player into the water if they are a [[Water-type]] Pokémon capable of swimming or if they are a [[Flying-type]] Pokémon or Pokémon capable of flying or levitating. Otherwise, Pokémon that do not follow these attributes will disappear if the player enters the water, but will reappear once the player reaches land. The speed at which Pokémon move will vary from individual Pokémon. This feature can be toggled off by an NPC in the [[Master Dojo]] if the player so wishes.

The feature carries over to the [[Crown Tundra]] once the player reaches [[Freezington]] and meets the mayor for the first time, who will give the player the right to have the first Pokémon in their party follow them around the Crown Tundra. The same features from the Isle of Armor carry over, and likewise, the feature can be toggled off by an NPC in Freezington.

Walking Pokémon is exclusive to the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra locations, and does not carry over to mainland Galar.

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, except for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon since it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball, he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris, he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have at least one or two walking Pokémon alongside them, including [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Snowy]], [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], [[Sandy]], and the Mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, although it was still a wild Pokémon as it was being taken care of. Ash himself has most of his Alolan Pokémon outside with him, including {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack, {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}, and the Mythical Pokémon {{AP|Meltan}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] and {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} are another group of walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as they usually stay out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking Pokémon in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually let it stay outside its Poké Ball until it evolved.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

====Kanto====
In the {{chap|Yellow}}, [[Pika]] ({{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}) went together with {{adv|Yellow}} on a quest to find {{adv|Red}}, which was mysteriously missing. During this journey with Yellow, Pika was walking outside of his Poké Ball, because Red's Poké Balls disappeared with him. This may be a reference to the fact that {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's starter Pikachu}} follows him in {{game|Yellow}}.

====Hoenn====
From the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, [[Peeko]] ([[Mr. Briney]]'s {{p|Wingull}}) is often seen following him rather than kept inside of a Poké Ball.

===Movie adaptations===
Similar to the anime, several Pokémon have walked with their Trainers.

==In other media==
===''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''===
Since [[Poké Ball]]s are illegal in [[Ryme City]], most Pokémon in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' are seen walking alongside their Trainers. Most notably, [[Harry Goodman]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Lucy Stevens]]'s {{p|Psyduck}} are never seen in a Poké Ball throughout the movie.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' is the only {{pkmn|anime}} series to date not to have any walking Pokémon besides {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|regular group}}.

'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, [[Mustard]] will allow the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot to follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Some will even follow the player into the water if they are a [[Water-type]] Pokémon capable of swimming or if they are a [[Flying-type]] Pokémon or Pokémon capable of flying or levitating. Otherwise, Pokémon that do not follow these attributes will disappear if the player enters the water, but will reappear once the player reaches land. The speed at which Pokémon move will vary from individual Pokémon. This feature can be toggled off by an NPC in the [[Master Dojo]] if the player so wishes.

The feature carries over to the [[Crown Tundra]] once the player reaches [[Freezington]] and meets the mayor for the first time, who will give the player the right to have the first Pokémon in their party follow them around the Crown Tundra. The same features from the Isle of Armor carry over, and likewise, the feature can be toggled off by an NPC in Freezington.

Walking Pokémon is exclusive to the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra locations, and does not carry over to mainland Galar.

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, except for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon since it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball, he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris, he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have at least one or two walking Pokémon alongside them, including [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Snowy]], [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], [[Sandy]], and the Mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, although it was still a wild Pokémon as it was being taken care of. Ash himself has most of his Alolan Pokémon outside with him, including {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack, {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}, and the Mythical Pokémon {{AP|Meltan}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] and {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} are another group of walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as they usually stay out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking Pokémon in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually let it stay outside its Poké Ball until it evolved.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{incomplete|section|Expand with more examples}}
====Kanto====
In the {{chap|Yellow}}, [[Pika]] ({{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}) went together with {{adv|Yellow}} on a quest to find {{adv|Red}}, which was mysteriously missing. During this journey with Yellow, Pika was walking outside of his Poké Ball, because Red's Poké Balls disappeared with him. This may be a reference to the fact that {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's starter Pikachu}} follows him in {{game|Yellow}}.

====Hoenn====
From the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, [[Peeko]] ([[Mr. Briney]]'s {{p|Wingull}}) is often seen following him rather than kept inside of a Poké Ball.

===Movie adaptations===
Similar to the anime, several Pokémon have walked with their Trainers.

==In other media==
===''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''===
Since [[Poké Ball]]s are illegal in [[Ryme City]], most Pokémon in ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}'' are seen walking alongside their Trainers. Most notably, [[Harry Goodman]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} and [[Lucy Stevens]]'s {{p|Psyduck}} are never seen in a Poké Ball throughout the movie.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' is the only {{pkmn|anime}} series to date not to have any walking Pokémon besides {{AP|Pikachu}} in {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|regular group}}.

'''Volkner''' (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Beacon}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series==
Volkner uses {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the {{Badge|Beacon}}, {{TM|57|Charge Beam}}, and will be able to use {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle. In addition, all Pokémon, no matter what level, will obey them. Volkner is friends with {{EF|Flint}}, and had become dejected and depressed because no worthy challengers had come to Sunyshore City in a while. He had been considering challenging the [[Elite Four]] and spent all his time renovating the Gym's electrical equipment, which put a strain on Sunyshore's power supply and caused rolling brownouts, which the {{player}} experiences when first arriving in Sunyshore. Apparently, Volkner built the Gym's electrical gear puzzle completely out of boredom. When the player arrives in Sunyshore City, Flint introduces them to Volkner, who agrees to hold off on challenging the Elite Four until after he battles the new challenger.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Volkner and {{EF|Flint}} appear at the entrance to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and have a [[Double Battle]] against the {{player}} and the player's {{ga|Barry|rival}}. Volkner can later be fought, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, when [[Shauntal]] is battled for a second time, she will occasionally quote a book that she wrote which says, ''"'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner."''

He also battles the player in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

===Main series===
[[File:Volkner anime.png|thumb|250px|Volkner in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Volkner grew up battling gangs and [[Pokémon poacher]]s on the streets of [[Sunyshore City]]. He came across {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} and decided to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, though he lost the match. Volkner challenged Flint sometime later and won, thus igniting an intense rivalry. The two later became friends after battling against the [[Proprietor]] in a Tag Battle. When Flint turned 20 he left Sunyshore to pursue his own journey, and eventually became a member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], while Volker assumed the role of Sunyshore City's [[Gym Leader]].

After becoming the Gym Leader, Volkner became more interested in technology and he distanced himself from battling. The obsession led him to design the automated walkways of Sunyshore, installation of solar panels and the city's famous [[Sunyshore Tower]].

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Volkner was first mentioned by [[Palmer]], who said that, after seeing his battling skills, {{Ash}} would be able to give Volkner "a shock". In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', [[Paul]] also hinted that something was amiss at the [[Sunyshore Gym]], angrily calling it illegitimate.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', when {{Ash}} arrived at the Sunyshore Gym, he was surprised that Volkner had installed a machine at the entrance that was simply giving away free {{Badge|Beacon}}s to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Ash was determined to have a genuine [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} so he began knocking on the door, only to be taken off the property by its robotic security. Flint noticed this and escorted Ash and {{ashfr}} to Volkner's location at the Sunyshore Tower. Ash requested a battle from Volkner, but he declined and stated that he was bored.

Later, Volkner walked into the Proprietor's café and quickly began arguing with Flint. The Proprietor then suggested that Flint battle Ash instead, and requested that Volkner watch the match. After witnessing Ash's battle with Flint, he became interested in battling again and decided to accept Ash's challenge for a Gym battle.

[[File:Young Volkner.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Volkner with his {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Volkner and Ash began their Gym battle. However, it was quickly interrupted as {{TRT}} stole the Sunyshore Tower, causing a citywide blackout. After Ash defeated Team Rocket with the help of his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Torterra}}, Volkner returned the tower back to its original place. However, as both the tower and Gym were badly damaged, Volkner told Ash that he had to repair them before they could have a [[rematch]]. Ash agreed to the terms and said that he would use the extra time for more training.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash returned to Sunyshore to be the first to challenge Volkner since Team Rocket stole the Sunyshore Tower. During the last round between {{AP|Infernape}} and {{p|Luxray}}, Infernape's {{a|Blaze}} was activated once again. This time, however, Infernape was able to take control of its [[Ability]], and by using the powers it gained, it won the match. This earned Ash the Beacon Badge, thus allowing him to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

Volkner made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Volkner is renowned for being "electrifying" and nicknamed the "Shining Shocking Star of {{ci|Sunyshore}}" because of his enthusiasm and technique in battle. He utilizes offense [[move]]s as a defensive strategy to counter an opponent's efforts. Volkner aims to attack his opponent's Pokémon at close range to ensure the most damage. He is regarded as bright and intelligent, though he is prone to becoming obsessed with his interests and tires of them when things become predictable.

However, after becoming the [[Sunyshore Gym|Sunyshore]] [[Gym Leader]] and experiencing numerous weak challengers, Volkner completely lost any interest in battling. Furthermore, Volkner became completely aloof and somewhat cold, always having an empty look on his face, and always speaking in a bored tone. His aloofness even went as far as boringly telling {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} to punch him if he felt like it after being threatened by the former, and Volkner's disinterest seemed to have extended towards his friends, as Volkner seemed to have gained some level of resentment towards Flint, once sarcastically referring to him as "Mr. [[Elite Four]]", possibly from the fact that Flint became able to travel whilst Volkner remained in Sunyshore City, surrounded by weak challengers.

After witnessing {{Ash}} putting himself in harm's way to protect his {{AP|Pikachu}}, Volkner seemed to have finally snapped out of his disinterest, as Ash's actions reminded him of his own protective actions in his childhood regarding his Pikachu, and seeing Ash's determination, as well as hearing the [[Proprietor]]'s speech about Volkner's determination causing him to abandon his ways as a [[Pokémon poacher]], finally caused Volkner to reignite his battling spirit. Volkner also returned to his previously cheerful and confident self.

Since Ash's challenge in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Flint reported that news of Volkner's return to battling spread quickly throughout the region, as countless potential challenger's were queuing to go up against him, although Volkner declined all of them, keeping his promise to have his first official return match against Ash.

He holds deep respect and immense sentiments for his hometown of Sunyshore. His technology projects and massive construction efforts were designed to highlight Sunyshore's best assets and separate it from its previously grimy and criminal gang history.

|desc={{p|Raichu}} is Volkner's very first Pokémon. He first appeared in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', where he reunited with {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}}, and in the [[DP166|next episode]]. Raichu has been shown to be {{pkmn2|Walking|outside of his Poké Ball}} most of the time.

Volkner first received his Raichu as a {{p|Pikachu}} when he was young. He battled with [[Flint's Chimchar]] and lost. However, in their [[rematch]], Pikachu defeated {{p|Chimchar}} with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Since then, Flint and Volkner became friends and rivals. Later, Pikachu was battling the [[Proprietor]]'s {{p|Houndoom}}, when the latter was a [[Pokémon poacher]] at the time. Houndoom dealt some damage to Chimchar and Pikachu, but Chimchar wasn't able to continue, leaving Pikachu to do it on its own. Volkner was very determined to battle the Proprietor. After a long battle, the Proprietor was defeated and became friends with Volkner and Flint.

Pikachu later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Raichu prior to Volkner becoming the [[Sunyshore City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Raichu was very strong as he defeated several Pokémon such as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Mothim}} over time. However, Volkner did not select Raichu in both of his matches against {{Ash}}.

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

Raichu's known moves are {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and {{m|Thunder}}.}}

During the [[rematch]], Luxray first battled with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and won after taking hits from several {{m|Iron Tail}}s. Ash next used {{AP|Infernape}}, which got badly injured during the battle. Due to this, his [[Ability]] {{a|Blaze}} got activated. However, this time {{p|Infernape}} was able to control his Ability, and with the powers gained through it, the Flame Pokémon quickly defeated Luxray, serving the final blow with a devastating {{m|Flame Wheel}}, earning Ash the {{Badge|Beacon}}. Luxray was seen in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Luxray's known moves are {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Shock Wave}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

However, when one of Electivire's punches connected with Pikachu, the Thunderbolt Pokémon was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. After this, Pikachu was able to finish Electivire with a well-aimed {{m|Iron Tail}}.

[[File:Volkner Candice Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Volkner and his {{p|Electivire}} with [[Candice]] and her {{p|Froslass}}]]
====History====
====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
After [[Team Galactic]] capture the [[Lake guardians|Lake trio]] and defeat [[Candice]], [[Maylene]], and {{adv|Platinum}}, Candice and Maylene demand that [[Byron]] send someone strong to train them. Because Byron is occupied with protecting [[Professor Rowan]] and Mr. Berlitz, he briefly considers sending [[Roark]], but realizes that Roark will not be strong enough and tries to call Volkner instead.

The call initially does not go through because Sunyshore City is in the middle of a blackout caused by Volkner's Gym renovations. Volkner, depressed that Pokémon battles have become boring as a result of few strong opponents challenging him, elects to leave the Gym when Byron's call gets through.

When Volkner meets Platinum and the two female Gym Leaders, he initially mistakes Platinum as another Gym Leader, indicating that he is quite distant from his colleagues. He attacks them and leaves immediately, as none of them appear strong enough to interest him. Platinum's sincere dedication to impressing him and to inform him of [[Jupiter]]'s prowess interests Volkner enough for him to send out his Electivire to battle her. He then promises that if she defeats him, he will award her the Beacon Badge. Eventually, the girl succeeds, and he yields it to her. He also gives a {{p|Pachirisu}} to Maylene so she can give it to Platinum while they go off to battle Team Galactic on the [[Spear Pillar]].

While the other Gym Leaders battle Team Galactic on Spear Pillar, Volkner ignores their calls for help and prepares to go home. Before he can leave, Volkner encounters a strange distortion in space right in front of the [[Sendoff Spring]]. Feeling excited from this discovery, Volkner calls his friend {{EF|Flint}} to help him investigate it.

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
He and Flint are seen researching about the strange phenomenon when Flint gets a call from [[Buck]]. Later, Volkner and Flint witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the [[Distortion World]]. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the Sendoff Spring, and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area.

After [[Charon]] is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

==Trivia==
[[File:Flint and Volkner Pt.png|The Double Battle against Flint and Volkner|thumb]]
* Volkner's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|かがやきしびれさせるスター|Star dazzling radiance}}.
* Volkner and Jasmine have many similarities:
** The cities they both reside in, [[Olivine City]] and Sunyshore City, are close to the sea and have lighthouses: the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the [[Vista Lighthouse]]. Consequently, both Jasmine and Volkner are in their respective lighthouse when the player first meets them.
** Something stops both Jasmine and Volkner from battling the player in the beginning: Jasmine's Ampharos is ill, so the player has to get the [[Secret Potion]] to heal it, and there is a power outage in Sunyshore City, so the player can't reach it until the player has sorted out the dilemma with [[Team Galactic]].
** They both appear in Sunyshore City in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* All of Volkner's Diamond and Pearl {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} belong to species that have [[gender differences]].
* In Diamond and Pearl, two of Volkner's four Pokémon, {{p|Ambipom}} and {{p|Octillery}}, are not of his specialty type, though each know one Electric-type move ({{m|Shock Wave}} and {{m|Charge Beam}} respectively). This changed in {{v2|Platinum}}, when they were replaced by {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electivire}}.
* Volkner's Electivire is the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to use [[Seal]]s in {{game|Platinum}}. It is used in the Gym Battle and rematch as well as the Double Battle with {{EF|Flint}}, who uses his {{p|Magmortar}}, the only Pokémon of a member of the [[Elite Four]] to have Seals.
* Volkner is the only [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]] to not have any Pokémon with more than one [[type]] in Diamond and Pearl.
** He also does not use any Pokémon with more than one type in the initial battle in Platinum, but he uses a {{p|Lanturn}} in the post-game rematches at the Battleground.
* Volkner being bored with weak Trainers and few challengers can also be seen in {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader|Supreme Gym Leader]] of the [[Orange League]], who had the same feeling, except Drake wasn't just letting challengers take the [[Winner's Trophy]] without battling.
* In the anime, Volkner was to be the only Sinnoh Gym Leader that Ash battled who uses his in-game party from {{v2|Platinum}}.
* In the anime, Volkner was the only eighth Gym Leader Ash battled to have all of his Pokémon fully evolved.

'''Volkner''' (Japanese: '''デンジ''' ''Denzi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Beacon}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the core series==
Volkner uses {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the {{Badge|Beacon}}, {{TM|57|Charge Beam}}, and will be able to use {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle. In addition, all Pokémon, no matter what level, will obey them. Volkner is friends with {{EF|Flint}}, and had become dejected and depressed because no worthy challengers had come to Sunyshore City in a while. He had been considering challenging the [[Elite Four]] and spent all his time renovating the Gym's electrical equipment, which put a strain on Sunyshore's power supply and caused rolling brownouts, which the {{player}} experiences when first arriving in Sunyshore. Apparently, Volkner built the Gym's electrical gear puzzle completely out of boredom. When the player arrives in Sunyshore City, Flint introduces them to Volkner, who agrees to hold off on challenging the Elite Four until after he battles the new challenger.

In {{game|Platinum}}, Volkner and {{EF|Flint}} appear at the entrance to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and have a [[Double Battle]] against the {{player}} and the player's {{ga|Barry|rival}}. Volkner can later be fought, like the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders, at the [[Battleground]].

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, when [[Shauntal]] is battled for a second time, she will occasionally quote a book that she wrote which says, ''"'Do you know Thunderbolt?' was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was Volkner."''

He also battles the player in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

===Main series===
[[File:Volkner anime.png|thumb|250px|Volkner in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Volkner grew up battling gangs and [[Pokémon poacher]]s on the streets of [[Sunyshore City]]. He came across {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} and decided to challenge him to a {{pkmn|battle}}, though he lost the match. Volkner challenged Flint sometime later and won, thus igniting an intense rivalry. The two later became friends after battling against the [[Proprietor]] in a Tag Battle. When Flint turned 20 he left Sunyshore to pursue his own journey, and eventually became a member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], while Volker assumed the role of Sunyshore City's [[Gym Leader]].

After becoming the Gym Leader, Volkner became more interested in technology and he distanced himself from battling. The obsession led him to design the automated walkways of Sunyshore, installation of solar panels and the city's famous [[Sunyshore Tower]].

In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Volkner was first mentioned by [[Palmer]], who said that, after seeing his battling skills, {{Ash}} would be able to give Volkner "a shock". In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', [[Paul]] also hinted that something was amiss at the [[Sunyshore Gym]], angrily calling it illegitimate.

In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', when {{Ash}} arrived at the Sunyshore Gym, he was surprised that Volkner had installed a machine at the entrance that was simply giving away free {{Badge|Beacon}}s to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Ash was determined to have a genuine [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} so he began knocking on the door, only to be taken off the property by its robotic security. Flint noticed this and escorted Ash and {{ashfr}} to Volkner's location at the Sunyshore Tower. Ash requested a battle from Volkner, but he declined and stated that he was bored.

Later, Volkner walked into the Proprietor's café and quickly began arguing with Flint. The Proprietor then suggested that Flint battle Ash instead, and requested that Volkner watch the match. After witnessing Ash's battle with Flint, he became interested in battling again and decided to accept Ash's challenge for a Gym battle.

[[File:Young Volkner.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Volkner with his {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Volkner and Ash began their Gym battle. However, it was quickly interrupted as {{TRT}} stole the Sunyshore Tower, causing a citywide blackout. After Ash defeated Team Rocket with the help of his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Torterra}}, Volkner returned the tower back to its original place. However, as both the tower and Gym were badly damaged, Volkner told Ash that he had to repair them before they could have a [[rematch]]. Ash agreed to the terms and said that he would use the extra time for more training.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Ash returned to Sunyshore to be the first to challenge Volkner since Team Rocket stole the Sunyshore Tower. During the last round between {{AP|Infernape}} and {{p|Luxray}}, Infernape's {{a|Blaze}} was activated once again. This time, however, Infernape was able to take control of its [[Ability]], and by using the powers it gained, it won the match. This earned Ash the Beacon Badge, thus allowing him to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

Volkner made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Volkner is renowned for being "electrifying" and nicknamed the "Shining Shocking Star of {{ci|Sunyshore}}" because of his enthusiasm and technique in battle. He utilizes offense [[move]]s as a defensive strategy to counter an opponent's efforts. Volkner aims to attack his opponent's Pokémon at close range to ensure the most damage. He is regarded as bright and intelligent, though he is prone to becoming obsessed with his interests and tires of them when things become predictable.

However, after becoming the [[Sunyshore Gym|Sunyshore]] [[Gym Leader]] and experiencing numerous weak challengers, Volkner completely lost any interest in battling. Furthermore, Volkner became completely aloof and somewhat cold, always having an empty look on his face, and always speaking in a bored tone. His aloofness even went as far as boringly telling {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} to punch him if he felt like it after being threatened by the former, and Volkner's disinterest seemed to have extended towards his friends, as Volkner seemed to have gained some level of resentment towards Flint, once sarcastically referring to him as "Mr. [[Elite Four]]", possibly from the fact that Flint became able to travel whilst Volkner remained in Sunyshore City, surrounded by weak challengers.

After witnessing {{Ash}} putting himself in harm's way to protect his {{AP|Pikachu}}, Volkner seemed to have finally snapped out of his disinterest, as Ash's actions reminded him of his own protective actions in his childhood regarding his Pikachu, and seeing Ash's determination, as well as hearing the [[Proprietor]]'s speech about Volkner's determination causing him to abandon his ways as a [[Pokémon poacher]], finally caused Volkner to reignite his battling spirit. Volkner also returned to his previously cheerful and confident self.

Since Ash's challenge in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Flint reported that news of Volkner's return to battling spread quickly throughout the region, as countless potential challenger's were queuing to go up against him, although Volkner declined all of them, keeping his promise to have his first official return match against Ash.

He holds deep respect and immense sentiments for his hometown of Sunyshore. His technology projects and massive construction efforts were designed to highlight Sunyshore's best assets and separate it from its previously grimy and criminal gang history.

|desc={{p|Raichu}} is Volkner's very first Pokémon. He first appeared in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', where he reunited with {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}}, and in the [[DP166|next episode]]. Raichu has been shown to be {{pkmn2|Walking|outside of his Poké Ball}} most of the time.

Volkner first received his Raichu as a {{p|Pikachu}} when he was young. He battled with [[Flint's Chimchar]] and lost. However, in their [[rematch]], Pikachu defeated {{p|Chimchar}} with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Since then, Flint and Volkner became friends and rivals. Later, Pikachu was battling the [[Proprietor]]'s {{p|Houndoom}}, when the latter was a [[Pokémon poacher]] at the time. Houndoom dealt some damage to Chimchar and Pikachu, but Chimchar wasn't able to continue, leaving Pikachu to do it on its own. Volkner was very determined to battle the Proprietor. After a long battle, the Proprietor was defeated and became friends with Volkner and Flint.

Pikachu later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Raichu prior to Volkner becoming the [[Sunyshore City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Raichu was very strong as he defeated several Pokémon such as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Mothim}} over time. However, Volkner did not select Raichu in both of his matches against {{Ash}}.

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

Raichu's known moves are {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and {{m|Thunder}}.}}

During the [[rematch]], Luxray first battled with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and won after taking hits from several {{m|Iron Tail}}s. Ash next used {{AP|Infernape}}, which got badly injured during the battle. Due to this, his [[Ability]] {{a|Blaze}} got activated. However, this time {{p|Infernape}} was able to control his Ability, and with the powers gained through it, the Flame Pokémon quickly defeated Luxray, serving the final blow with a devastating {{m|Flame Wheel}}, earning Ash the {{Badge|Beacon}}. Luxray was seen in a flashback in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]''.

Luxray's known moves are {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Shock Wave}}, {{m|Thunder Fang}}, {{m|Double Team}}, and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

However, when one of Electivire's punches connected with Pikachu, the Thunderbolt Pokémon was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. After this, Pikachu was able to finish Electivire with a well-aimed {{m|Iron Tail}}.

[[File:Volkner Candice Adventures.png|thumb|225px|Volkner and his {{p|Electivire}} with [[Candice]] and her {{p|Froslass}}]]
====History====
====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
After [[Team Galactic]] capture the [[Lake guardians|Lake trio]] and defeat [[Candice]], [[Maylene]], and {{adv|Platinum}}, Candice and Maylene demand that [[Byron]] send someone strong to train them. Because Byron is occupied with protecting [[Professor Rowan]] and Mr. Berlitz, he briefly considers sending [[Roark]], but realizes that Roark will not be strong enough and tries to call Volkner instead.

The call initially does not go through because Sunyshore City is in the middle of a blackout caused by Volkner's Gym renovations. Volkner, depressed that Pokémon battles have become boring as a result of few strong opponents challenging him, elects to leave the Gym when Byron's call gets through.

When Volkner meets Platinum and the two female Gym Leaders, he initially mistakes Platinum as another Gym Leader, indicating that he is quite distant from his colleagues. He attacks them and leaves immediately, as none of them appear strong enough to interest him. Platinum's sincere dedication to impressing him and to inform him of [[Jupiter]]'s prowess interests Volkner enough for him to send out his Electivire to battle her. He then promises that if she defeats him, he will award her the Beacon Badge. Eventually, the girl succeeds, and he yields it to her. He also gives a {{p|Pachirisu}} to Maylene so she can give it to Platinum while they go off to battle Team Galactic on the [[Spear Pillar]].

While the other Gym Leaders battle Team Galactic on Spear Pillar, Volkner ignores their calls for help and prepares to go home. Before he can leave, Volkner encounters a strange distortion in space right in front of the [[Sendoff Spring]]. Feeling excited from this discovery, Volkner calls his friend {{EF|Flint}} to help him investigate it.

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
He and Flint are seen researching about the strange phenomenon when Flint gets a call from [[Buck]]. Later, Volkner and Flint witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the [[Distortion World]]. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the Sendoff Spring, and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area.

After [[Charon]] is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

==Trivia==
[[File:Flint and Volkner Pt.png|The Double Battle against Flint and Volkner|thumb]]
* Volkner's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|かがやきしびれさせるスター|Star dazzling radiance}}.
* Volkner and Jasmine have many similarities:
** The cities they both reside in, [[Olivine City]] and Sunyshore City, are close to the sea and have lighthouses: the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the [[Vista Lighthouse]]. Consequently, both Jasmine and Volkner are in their respective lighthouse when the player first meets them.
** Something stops both Jasmine and Volkner from battling the player in the beginning: Jasmine's Ampharos is ill, so the player has to get the [[Secret Potion]] to heal it, and there is a power outage in Sunyshore City, so the player can't reach it until the player has sorted out the dilemma with [[Team Galactic]].
** They both appear in Sunyshore City in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* All of Volkner's Diamond and Pearl {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} belong to species that have [[gender differences]].
* In Diamond and Pearl, two of Volkner's four Pokémon, {{p|Ambipom}} and {{p|Octillery}}, are not of his specialty type, though each know one Electric-type move ({{m|Shock Wave}} and {{m|Charge Beam}} respectively). This changed in {{v2|Platinum}}, when they were replaced by {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electivire}}.
* Volkner's Electivire is the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to use [[Seal]]s in {{game|Platinum}}. It is used in the Gym Battle and rematch as well as the Double Battle with {{EF|Flint}}, who uses his {{p|Magmortar}}, the only Pokémon of a member of the [[Elite Four]] to have Seals.
* Volkner is the only [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]] to not have any Pokémon with more than one [[type]] in Diamond and Pearl.
** He also does not use any Pokémon with more than one type in the initial battle in Platinum, but he uses a {{p|Lanturn}} in the post-game rematches at the Battleground.
* Volkner being bored with weak Trainers and few challengers can also be seen in {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader|Supreme Gym Leader]] of the [[Orange League]], who had the same feeling, except Drake wasn't just letting challengers take the [[Winner's Trophy]] without battling.
* In the anime, Volkner was to be the only Sinnoh Gym Leader that Ash battled who uses his in-game party from {{v2|Platinum}}.
* In the anime, Volkner was the only eighth Gym Leader Ash battled to have all of his Pokémon fully evolved.

'''One, Two, Three''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|１・２・３|ワン・ツー・スリー}}}}''') is the first Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. It debuted in [[JN001]], replacing [[Your Adventure]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

Various artists have performed different arrangements of the song:
* From [[JN001]] to [[JN031]], it was performed by {{jwp|After the Rain}}, a duo consisting of {{wp|Soraru}} and {{wp|Mafumafu}}. It was produced by Mafumafu.
* From [[JN032]] to [[JN049]], it was performed by Nishikawa-kun and Kirishō, consisting of {{wp|Takanori Nishikawa}} and {{wp|Shō Kiryūin}}, vocalist of the band {{wp|Golden Bomber}}. It was arranged by Mafumafu and Hidekazu Tanaka and produced by Mafumafu.
* Starting in [[JN050]], it was performed by the Karaage Sisters, consisting of {{wp|Erika Ikuta}} and {{wp|Sayuri Matsumura}} from the idol girl group {{wp|Nogizaka46}}. It was arranged by APAZZI and Akira Sunset.
The theme song was also produced by 佐野弘明 ''{{jwp|佐野弘明|Hiroaki Sano}}'' and 毛谷村伸也 ''Shinya Keyamura''.

==Opening animation: Version 1 ([[JN001]] – [[JN031]])==
===Synopsis===
The series logo appears as the camera pans across a large grassy hill and settles on {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, who are looking up at the sky. Ash and Pikachu are shown first, with Pikachu climbing around on his shoulders, jumping onto his shirt, and using it as a trampoline. Goh is then seen packing his [[bag]] with Scorbunny jumping at his side. [[Chloe]] is shown next poking her {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}}, which then turns its head and causes Chloe to smile. A cut to [[Professor Cerise]] follows, who holds out three {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Ash, Go, Pikachu, and Scorbunny are shown in front of maps featuring the {{pkmn2|starter}}s of each of the [[region]]s from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]] are shown.

Goh's hands are shown reaching towards a floating yellow orb, which is revealed to be {{p|Mew}}. Goh and Ash are then seen. Their eyes meet before each of them throw a Poké Ball in the air to send out a Pokémon. Ash, Pikachu, Chloe, Go, and Scorbunny are seen dancing in the [[Cerise Laboratory]], while Yamper lays on the ground in front of Chloe. They then all clap and face the screen. Scorbunny, Pikachu, Ash, and Goh are then seen jumping off a brick terrace away from the lab and run down the street. They trip in front of Chloe, who turns and walks away. Ash and Go, along with Pikachu and Scorbunny, are then seen gazing up at a rock from which {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} look down and sneer.

Pikachu jumps over a {{p|Tyranitar}} and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it. Scorbunny then runs up to a {{p|Corviknight}} and uses {{m|Double Kick}} on it. Ash, Pikachu, [[Ren]], [[Chrysa]], Chloe, Professor Cerise, Go, and Scorbunny all dance and clap their hands. A close-up of Pikachu and Scorbunny is shown, who smile and cry in quick succession. They are shown to be on top of Yamper, who is on top of [[Mimey]]. Pikachu and Scorbunny fall off of Yamper and Mimey catches them in each of his outstretched hands before all three jump off.

Ash, Go, and Chloe, along with their partner {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, are then seen walking on a rotating Poké Ball past several various Pokémon and landmarks from various regions. The following scene depends on the episode. Pikachu and Ash then jump into view, followed by Go, Scorbunny, Pikachu, and Ash having tripped, with Goh skinning his knee. Goh and Scorbunny then jump into view, followed by all four seen standing up, looking at each other, and striking a pose.

===Variants===
The clip displayed during the line 「{{tt|先も見えない　果ても知らない世界がそこにあるけど|Saki mo mienai hate mo shiranai sekai ga soko ni aru kedo}}」 varies depending on the episode. This is typically a scene from the episode itself, with the exception of [[JN001]], which used the same scene as [[JN002]], and the episodes set in [[Galar]] ([[JN004]]-[[JN005]], [[JN012]]-[[JN013]], [[JN027]]-[[JN028]]), where {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} pose together. The opening animation used for the song in the {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} and {{pmin|Greater China|Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan)}} [[dub]] uses only the Zacian/Zamazenta scene.

| <ab>Hey, is it time, is it time, is it time? Hurry up!
Are you ready to head out?
We don't need a sendoff
To the strange world I want to show you

Even if in fire or in water
Or in the present day we fumble for but can't see
We still don't know what awaits even one second ahead

But every single one of our memories
Is always inside a ball

A world with unknown boundaries just lies unseen ahead

Let's go!
Even if we trip and skin our knees
Let's go!
When it comes to who I want by my side to start walking again
I choose you!

The view from the neighboring town, the breathtaking world
Dizzyingly spin and change
Leaving me behind

Even the holes that I used to slip through and play around as a child
It's been a while since I last saw one, so have I just missed them all along?

But you know, even that forgotten view is
Still out there somewhere today

Jump out on one, two, three!
With those days spent crying, towards the outside of the ball

"Where do I want to go?" is
"Anywhere you go," right?
There's no time to breathe! (No!) Try! (Try!)
Why don't we go?

1. Beyond words
2. Beyond boundaries
To you who I've yet to meet

Even if I fall with my hands on the ground, I've already made my decision
As shadows stretch when the sun sets, I will grow as well

Let's go!
It's gotta be after the rain
Let's go!
Because there aren't rainbows on sunny days
Since that day when I realized it

You, you, before I knew it
Haven't you became an adult?

You've left it in the right pocket of those dusty, tattered clothes
An adventure that could be held in one hand was all of us
The memories of those days are searching for you

Jump in on one, two, three!
Because the future I once imagined is right in my pocket
Let's go somewhere, take me anywhere
There's no hesitating! (No!) Try! (Try!)
Let's have a fight!

1. After a battle
2. Whether you're laughing or crying
We'll be friends on 3!

On that day, on this day, that's how we've always done it
A world with unknown boundaries just lies unseen ahead

Let's go!
Even if we trip and skin our knees
Let's go!
When it comes to who I want by my side to start walking again
I choose you!</ab>

==Trivia==
* The beginning of the song plays a sound that is similar to the [[Game Boy]] startup sound, possibly a reference to the earliest [[Pokémon games]] being on this console.
* The After The Rain version of the song is available as DLC for the Rythm Game "Taiko no Tatsujin Drum 'n' Fun"
* {{wp|Takanori Nishikawa}} posted an [https://web.archive.org/web/20200809091110/https://twitter.com/TMR15/status/1292387867885309952 early version] of the second version of the opening animation on his Twitter account, which has since been deleted. In it:
** The angle of the floor in the shot after the logo differs.
** {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail is missing and {{Ash}}'s [[backpack]] and [[Chloe]]'s hair are redrawn in the distant shot of Ash, [[Goh]], and Chloe.
** Ash and Goh run further past the [[Cerise Laboratory]].
** The images of the [[Legendary birds]] are rearranged.
** Glow, blur, fire, and sunray effects for the images of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] are not present.
** The snacks and papers are differently colored.
** The [[Poké Ball]]s in Goh's eye are not translucent.
** Goh's eye is not shaded.
** A yellow tint and sparkle effects are absent from the scene where Goh is surrounded by Poké Balls.
** The electricity effects from Goh's Poké Ball, {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{t|Electric}} attack, and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} are purple.
** The Legendary birds do not glow.
** The spotlights are yellow and the background is not darkened during Ash and Goh's battle.
** {{AP|Gengar}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}} attack is not present.
** {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} fades out without a glow effect.
** The fire effect on {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}'s {{m|Ember|kick}} is not present.
** The sparkle effects in the background of Ash and Goh's parties are not present.
** {{p|Eternatus}} does not glow and the clouds do not glow purple.
** [[Raihan]]'s [[Rotom Phone]] is the standard color.
** The fire effect for [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and the darkening of the stadium is not present.
** The glow of {{p|Duraludon}}'s {{m|Steel Beam}} is not present.
** The icons and layout of the pictures from the Rotom Phone differ.
** A sparkle effect is added to {{p|Celebi}}.
** Fewer stars are visible in the forest at night.
** Darker shading on the shot of [[Vermilion City]] in the morning, lighter shading on the daytime, evening and nighttime shots of Vermilion.
** More stars are visible in Vermilion City at night.
** The sunray and water effects are missing from the ruins scene.
** Darker shading on the final shots of Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Raboot and both Trainers and their Pokémon.
* One, Two, Three is the first opening to have three versions in one series, as well as the first opening with multiple versions in one series to have different singers in different versions.
* The third version of the opening animation marks {{Gary}}'s first appearance in an opening animation since [[High Touch!]].
* [[Ash's Dracovish]] is his sole Pokémon on hand not to physically appear on the third version of the opening animation. This is potentially because the writers wanted to avoid spoilers.

===Errors===
* During the {{pkmn|battle}} scene of the first version, {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}'s tail disappears for two frames.
* In the song credits for the second version, Hidekazu Tanaka is omitted. This is fixed beginning in [[JN034]].

'''One, Two, Three''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|１・２・３|ワン・ツー・スリー}}}}''') is the first Japanese opening theme of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. It debuted in [[JN001]], replacing [[Your Adventure]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

Various artists have performed different arrangements of the song:
* From [[JN001]] to [[JN031]], it was performed by {{jwp|After the Rain}}, a duo consisting of {{wp|Soraru}} and {{wp|Mafumafu}}. It was produced by Mafumafu.
* From [[JN032]] to [[JN049]], it was performed by Nishikawa-kun and Kirishō, consisting of {{wp|Takanori Nishikawa}} and {{wp|Shō Kiryūin}}, vocalist of the band {{wp|Golden Bomber}}. It was arranged by Mafumafu and Hidekazu Tanaka and produced by Mafumafu.
* Starting in [[JN050]], it was performed by the Karaage Sisters, consisting of {{wp|Erika Ikuta}} and {{wp|Sayuri Matsumura}} from the idol girl group {{wp|Nogizaka46}}. It was arranged by APAZZI and Akira Sunset.
The theme song was also produced by 佐野弘明 ''{{jwp|佐野弘明|Hiroaki Sano}}'' and 毛谷村伸也 ''Shinya Keyamura''.

==Opening animation: Version 1 ([[JN001]] – [[JN031]])==
===Synopsis===
The series logo appears as the camera pans across a large grassy hill and settles on {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}, who are looking up at the sky. Ash and Pikachu are shown first, with Pikachu climbing around on his shoulders, jumping onto his shirt, and using it as a trampoline. Goh is then seen packing his [[bag]] with Scorbunny jumping at his side. [[Chloe]] is shown next poking her {{TP|Professor Cerise|Yamper}}, which then turns its head and causes Chloe to smile. A cut to [[Professor Cerise]] follows, who holds out three {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Ash, Go, Pikachu, and Scorbunny are shown in front of maps featuring the {{pkmn2|starter}}s of each of the [[region]]s from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]] are shown.

Goh's hands are shown reaching towards a floating yellow orb, which is revealed to be {{p|Mew}}. Goh and Ash are then seen. Their eyes meet before each of them throw a Poké Ball in the air to send out a Pokémon. Ash, Pikachu, Chloe, Go, and Scorbunny are seen dancing in the [[Cerise Laboratory]], while Yamper lays on the ground in front of Chloe. They then all clap and face the screen. Scorbunny, Pikachu, Ash, and Goh are then seen jumping off a brick terrace away from the lab and run down the street. They trip in front of Chloe, who turns and walks away. Ash and Go, along with Pikachu and Scorbunny, are then seen gazing up at a rock from which {{MTR}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} look down and sneer.

Pikachu jumps over a {{p|Tyranitar}} and uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on it. Scorbunny then runs up to a {{p|Corviknight}} and uses {{m|Double Kick}} on it. Ash, Pikachu, [[Ren]], [[Chrysa]], Chloe, Professor Cerise, Go, and Scorbunny all dance and clap their hands. A close-up of Pikachu and Scorbunny is shown, who smile and cry in quick succession. They are shown to be on top of Yamper, who is on top of [[Mimey]]. Pikachu and Scorbunny fall off of Yamper and Mimey catches them in each of his outstretched hands before all three jump off.

Ash, Go, and Chloe, along with their partner {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, are then seen walking on a rotating Poké Ball past several various Pokémon and landmarks from various regions. The following scene depends on the episode. Pikachu and Ash then jump into view, followed by Go, Scorbunny, Pikachu, and Ash having tripped, with Goh skinning his knee. Goh and Scorbunny then jump into view, followed by all four seen standing up, looking at each other, and striking a pose.

===Variants===
The clip displayed during the line 「{{tt|先も見えない　果ても知らない世界がそこにあるけど|Saki mo mienai hate mo shiranai sekai ga soko ni aru kedo}}」 varies depending on the episode. This is typically a scene from the episode itself, with the exception of [[JN001]], which used the same scene as [[JN002]], and the episodes set in [[Galar]] ([[JN004]]-[[JN005]], [[JN012]]-[[JN013]], [[JN027]]-[[JN028]]), where {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} pose together. The opening animation used for the song in the {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} and {{pmin|Greater China|Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan)}} [[dub]] uses only the Zacian/Zamazenta scene.

| <ab>Hey, is it time, is it time, is it time? Hurry up!
Are you ready to head out?
We don't need a sendoff
To the strange world I want to show you

Even if in fire or in water
Or in the present day we fumble for but can't see
We still don't know what awaits even one second ahead

But every single one of our memories
Is always inside a ball

Jump in on one, two, three!
Because the future I once imagined is right in my pocket
Nice to meet you always marks a beginning
There's no hesitating! (No!) Try! (Try!)
Let's have a fight!

1. After a battle
2. Whether you're laughing or crying
We'll be friends on 3!

On that day, on this day, that's how we've always done it
A world with unknown boundaries just lies unseen ahead

Let's go!
Even if we trip and skin our knees
Let's go!
When it comes to who I want by my side to start walking again
I choose you!

The view from the neighboring town, the breathtaking world
Dizzyingly spin and change
Leaving me behind

Even the holes that I used to slip through and play around as a child
It's been a while since I last saw one, so have I just missed them all along?

But you know, even that forgotten view is
Still out there somewhere today

Jump out on one, two, three!
With those days spent crying, towards the outside of the ball

"Where do I want to go?" is
"Anywhere you go," right?
There's no time to breathe! (No!) Try! (Try!)
Why don't we go?

1. Beyond words
2. Beyond boundaries
To you who I've yet to meet

Even if I fall with my hands on the ground, I've already made my decision
As shadows stretch when the sun sets, I will grow as well

Let's go!
It's gotta be after the rain
Let's go!
Because there aren't rainbows on sunny days
Since that day when I realized it

You, you, before I knew it
Haven't you became an adult?

You've left it in the right pocket of those dusty, tattered clothes
An adventure that could be held in one hand was all of us
The memories of those days are searching for you

Jump in on one, two, three!
Because the future I once imagined is right in my pocket
Let's go somewhere, take me anywhere
There's no hesitating! (No!) Try! (Try!)
Let's have a fight!

1. After a battle
2. Whether you're laughing or crying
We'll be friends on 3!

On that day, on this day, that's how we've always done it
A world with unknown boundaries just lies unseen ahead

Let's go!
Even if we trip and skin our knees
Let's go!
When it comes to who I want by my side to start walking again
I choose you!</ab>

==Trivia==
* The beginning of the song plays a sound that is similar to the [[Game Boy]] startup sound, possibly a reference to the earliest [[Pokémon games]] being on this console.
* The After The Rain version of the song is available as DLC for the Rythm Game "Taiko no Tatsujin Drum 'n' Fun"
* {{wp|Takanori Nishikawa}} posted an [https://web.archive.org/web/20200809091110/https://twitter.com/TMR15/status/1292387867885309952 early version] of the second version of the opening animation on his Twitter account, which has since been deleted. In it:
** The angle of the floor in the shot after the logo differs.
** {{AP|Pikachu}}'s tail is missing and {{Ash}}'s [[backpack]] and [[Chloe]]'s hair are redrawn in the distant shot of Ash, [[Goh]], and Chloe.
** Ash and Goh run further past the [[Cerise Laboratory]].
** The images of the [[Legendary birds]] are rearranged.
** Glow, blur, fire, and sunray effects for the images of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] are not present.
** The snacks and papers are differently colored.
** The [[Poké Ball]]s in Goh's eye are not translucent.
** Goh's eye is not shaded.
** A yellow tint and sparkle effects are absent from the scene where Goh is surrounded by Poké Balls.
** The electricity effects from Goh's Poké Ball, {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{t|Electric}} attack, and Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} are purple.
** The Legendary birds do not glow.
** The spotlights are yellow and the background is not darkened during Ash and Goh's battle.
** {{AP|Gengar}}'s {{m|Shadow Ball}} attack is not present.
** {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} fades out without a glow effect.
** The fire effect on {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}'s {{m|Ember|kick}} is not present.
** The sparkle effects in the background of Ash and Goh's parties are not present.
** {{p|Eternatus}} does not glow and the clouds do not glow purple.
** [[Raihan]]'s [[Rotom Phone]] is the standard color.
** The fire effect for [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and the darkening of the stadium is not present.
** The glow of {{p|Duraludon}}'s {{m|Steel Beam}} is not present.
** The icons and layout of the pictures from the Rotom Phone differ.
** A sparkle effect is added to {{p|Celebi}}.
** Fewer stars are visible in the forest at night.
** Darker shading on the shot of [[Vermilion City]] in the morning, lighter shading on the daytime, evening and nighttime shots of Vermilion.
** More stars are visible in Vermilion City at night.
** The sunray and water effects are missing from the ruins scene.
** Darker shading on the final shots of Ash, Goh, Pikachu, Raboot and both Trainers and their Pokémon.
* One, Two, Three is the first opening to have three versions in one series, as well as the first opening with multiple versions in one series to have different singers in different versions.
* The third version of the opening animation marks {{Gary}}'s first appearance in an opening animation since [[High Touch!]].
* [[Ash's Dracovish]] is his sole Pokémon on hand not to physically appear on the third version of the opening animation. This is potentially because the writers wanted to avoid spoilers.

===Errors===
* During the {{pkmn|battle}} scene of the first version, {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}'s tail disappears for two frames.
* In the song credits for the second version, Hidekazu Tanaka is omitted. This is fixed beginning in [[JN034]].

Gigantamax

2020-12-06T17:23:06Z

Herowho: /* In the main series */

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

There are 32 species of Pokémon that are capable of Gigantamaxing, and there are 32 different Gigantamax forms. 

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

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

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

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

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

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} with the Gigantamax Factor cannot [[evolution|evolve]].

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

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

{{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] can be obtained with the Gigantamax Factor as [[gift Pokémon]]. {{p|Meowth}} with the Gigantamax Factor was first distributed via [[Mystery Gift]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* {{p|Urshifu}} is the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] that has a Gigantamax form.
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] and the only [[gender|genderless]] Pokémon that has a Gigantamax form.
* {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} share their respective Gigantamax form, regardless of one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|multiple alternate forms]].
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon with more than one Gigantamax form.
* {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} are the only Pokémon who share a Gigantamax form, although their G-Max Moves and [[cry|cries]] are different.

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[regional form]], introduced in ''[[The Crown Tundra]]'' expansion of the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Articuno is a large avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly blue plumage and wings said to be made of ice. On its forehead is a crest that consists of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It has circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one that faces backward. On its chest is a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.

Articuno has the power to control the ice at will. When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. It flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. As seen in [[EP189|the anime]], Articuno sometimes aids travelers and guides them to safety. Articuno lives in cold, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|isolated locations}} such as snowy mountains filled with permafrost.

In [[Galar]], Articuno has a distinct appearance. The main body has lavender coloration with a black marking covering its chest. Its feet are black with lavender talons. The three feathers of its crest, which are longer, fused, and folded to the back, have the same purple color as its beak and tail. Its eyes glow light blue, appear to be mostly closed, and are surrounded by a black, mask-like facial disc. When Articuno utilizes its psychic power, the entire mask glows the same color as its eyes, as do the white, feather-like blades of condensed psychic power at the edges of its wings.

{{rf|Galarian}} Articuno keeps itself airborne with its psychic power, almost never having to use its wings for this purpose. Instead, the blades on its wings can be used to slice through iron as easily as paper. Its eyes can fire beams of psychic energy that leave its opponents stuck in place, as if frozen solid - this is what earns this Pokémon the name of its Kantonian counterpart. It also has the ability to create mirages of itself in order to fool its opponent and escape. Its elegant and refined movements belie a cold and callous personality. It can be found in the Crown Tundra once every few decades congregating at the [[Dyna Tree Hill]].<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-articuno/</ref>

Galarian Articuno is [[Signature move|the only Pokémon]] that can learn the move {{m|Freezing Glare}}.

Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''"

==Trivia==
[[File:Legendary Pokemon engravings EP002.png|thumb|right|Engraving of Articuno (top right) in [[EP002]]]]
* Galarian Articuno shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Liepard}}. They are both known as the Cruel Pokémon.
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[Legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. It is still visible in the binoculars even if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as [[Ice Island]], Articuno's home in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.
* Kantonian Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a [[OHKO]] move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].
* Articuno is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon with a [[regional form]].

===Origin===
Articuno may be based on the {{wp|Simurgh}}, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is a giant arctic bird. Its long tail and small body also may be a reference to the {{wp|quetzal}}. In addition, it is anatomically similar to the {{wp|white-throated magpie-jay}}.

Galarian Articuno has feathers reminiscent of a mask worn at a {{wp|masquerade ball}}. Its facial disc may also be inspired by owls.

====Name origin====
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]).

Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).

List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio

2020-11-16T16:43:04Z

Herowho: /* Controlled only */

Several Pokémon have been '''temporarily owned by the [[Team Rocket trio]]''' in the [[Pokémon anime]].
{{MissingInfo|2|enva|java}}
==In the anime==
===Pokémon temporarily owned by [[James]]===
{{TrainerPoké

|img=James Weepinbell EP261.png

|epnum=EP261
|epname=Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid
|vajp=Kōichi Sakaguchi
|vaen=Eric Stuart
|desc=In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James was forced into [[Trade|trading]] his old {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for a {{p|Weepinbell}} by Jessie and Meowth after the [[Magikarp salesman]] cons them by saying they can use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to capture Pokémon.

Later in the episode, this {{p|Weepinbell}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Victreebel}} (incorrectly without a [[Leaf Stone]]), and it tries to gobble Jessie (much like the previous Victreebel often did with James). This causes her to command her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to send the Flycatcher Pokémon flying. At the same time, the Magikarp salesman realizes that James's original {{TP|James|Victreebel}} does not obey him, and he kicks it away. The two Victreebel later meet, fall in love, and skip off into the forest.

Victreebel's known moves are {{m|Sweet Scent}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, and {{m|Vine Whip}}.}}

|epname=Who's Flying Now?
|vaen=Kayzie Rogers
|desc=James bought {{p|Hoppip}} from the [[Magikarp salesman]] in ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]''. It was painted to look like a {{p|Chimecho}}, which James had wanted since he was a child. James recognized the salesman, but he was able to convince James that he had turned over a new leaf and is now an honest person. Believing him, James bought the Hoppip in disguise.

When he showed it to Jessie and Meowth, they were less than impressed with the Chimecho. Meowth immediately realized it was a fake, and when it started falling apart, James rubbed it with a rag. All the paint came off, and the Chimecho was revealed to be a fake. Before James could attempt to capture it, the Hoppip floated away, never to be seen again.

None of Hoppip's moves are known.}}

James sent it out to {{pkmn|battle}} the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}, at which James was overjoyed, exclaiming that he had been destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s attacks so many times that he knew them all by heart. However, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} had no effect on the Graveler, at which James sent out {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Charizard}}, and subsequently was expelled on the spot. He later used Pikachu to attack the instructor with {{m|Thunder}}, but the instructor told Ivysaur, Charizard, and Pikachu to attack Team Rocket instead.

Pikachu's known moves are {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Thunder}}.}}

|desc=In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave Jessie and James two {{i|Poké Ball}}s containing a {{p|Charizard}} and an {{p|Aggron}}. Excited at having two strong Pokémon, they decided to use them to attack the [[Pewter Gym]] and steal the Poké Balls in the Gym. When they entered, they challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{Ash}} to a [[Double Battle]].

Using their {{AP|Donphan}} and {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}, the two friends tried to defeat Team Rocket's newly acquired Pokémon. However, the Aggron and Charizard were stronger and gained an early advantage. The battle was ended when [[Max]] discovered that the two Trainers were indeed Team Rocket in disguise. With the help of [[Forrest]], Team Rocket were sent blasting off and Pewter Gym was safe.

At the end of the day, Delibird returned and took the two Pokémon back, as the Charizard and Aggron were originally intended for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively. Before Team Rocket could question what it was doing, it was gone, and Aggron and Charizard haven't been seen since.

Aggron's known moves are {{m|Mega Punch}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Water Pulse}}.}}

When the vaccine was released by [[Nurse Joy]], one of its missiles hit Team Rocket, knocking Porygon unconscious. Porygon and Team Rocket were rescued from the vaccine with the help of Ash, his Bulbasaur, and the non-prototype Porygon, allowing them to escape into the real world.

Shellder hit hard with {{m|Ice Beam}}, while Weezing knocked it out with {{m|Haze}}. James was going to throw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at it, but Jessie beat him to it, capturing Shellder. James complained about this, as it was his Weezing that weakened the Shellder. Later on, Jessie and James attempted to steal all the Pokémon at [[Professor Westwood V]]'s lab, but found that all he had was a {{p|Slowpoke}}. In the hopes that a Slowbro would prove more valuable to Giovanni, Jessie sent out Shellder and ordered it to {{m|clamp}} down on Slowpoke's tail. However, Westwood's Slowpoke avoided the Shellder with a truly surprising amount of speed. After some misdirected Clamps (including {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s head and tail, the former enabling Psyduck to remove the Bivalve Pokémon with {{m|Confusion}}), Shellder finally clamped down on Slowpoke's tail, causing it to evolve into Slowbro. Team Rocket tried to steal it, but Slowbro sent them blasting off with {{m|Mega Punch}} (after using {{m|Amnesia}} to temporarily forget it). After this episode, neither Shellder nor the Slowbro were seen again.

Later, Team Rocket was seen at a lake letting Jessie's "Feebas" swim around in a stream. The paint started to run, and soon it was revealed that the Feebas was actually a Magikarp. This discovery infuriated Jessie, and Team Rocket sought out the salesman to demand a refund. When they found the salesman, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were already there. A {{pkmn|battle}} between {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} against {{AP|Pikachu}} and Spoink ensued, during which the salesman escaped, and Magikarp was completely lost track of.

Walking Pokémon

2020-11-16T16:21:15Z

Herowho: /* List of walking Pokémon in the anime */

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot will follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]]. Some will even follow the player into the water. some will swim, some will fly, others will levitate.

In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball, he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris, he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have at least one or two walking Pokémon alongside them, including [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], [[Kiawe's Turtonator]], [[Snowy]], [[Sophocles's Charjabug]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], [[Sandy]], and the Mythical Pokémon {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}}, although it was still a wild Pokémon as it was being taken care of. Ash himself has most of his Alolan Pokémon outside with him, including {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack, {{AP|Lycanroc}}, {{AP|Torracat}}, the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}, and the Mythical Pokémon {{AP|Meltan}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] and {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} are another group of walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as they usually stay out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually lets it stay outside its Poké Ball.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

Legendary giants

2020-10-29T00:18:21Z

Herowho: /* Trivia */

{{samename|the [[Legendary trio]] called titans in [[M02|The Power of One]]|Legendary birds}}
{{samename|the Legendary trio called titans by {{wp|Circuit City}}|Creation trio}}
[[File:Legendary titans.png|thumb|250px|Regice, Registeel, and Regirock]]
'''Legendary titans'''<ref>[http://pokemon.gamespress.com/Deoxys-Returns-and-Clashes-with-Rayquaza-in-the-Delta-Episode-of-Pokem Pokémon Gamespress (UK)]</ref> is a term used to refer to the group of [[Legendary Pokémon]] consisting of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regieleki}}, and {{p|Regidrago}}. The are also known as '''Legendary giants''' in the [[Crown Tundra]]. Fan terms include '''Legendary golems''' and '''Regis'''. They were also previously referred to as the '''Regi [[Legendary trio|trio]]''' or the '''Titan trio''' before the introductions of Regieleki and Regidrago in [[The Crown Tundra]].

Unlike previous Legendary groups, the titans share very similar names, and their types are further estranged from the original {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{t|Electric}} that the [[Legendary birds|birds]] take on (two of the [[Legendary beasts|beasts]] share types with the birds, and {{p|Regice|two of}} {{p|Regieleki|the titans}} do as well). Like them, however, the Legendary titans have a [[Trio master|master]] (and like the beasts, a creator) in {{p|Regigigas}}.

Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the [[braille]] that is connected to their legend. Unlike the birds and beasts, the titans do not have {{a|Pressure}} as their Ability, though the original three titans do share the Ability {{a|Clear Body}}. They are the slowest of all Legendary Pokémon with the exception of Regieleki who is the fastest of all Pokémon.

In the {{pkmn|anime}} and outside ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', they appeared to be somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in {{i|Poké Ball}}s, no less, by [[Brandon]], while the [[Legendary birds]] are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in [[M02|the second movie]]) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means.

==History==
The Legendary titans have relatively concrete lore compared to other Legendary Pokémon. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place, and then created the titans from an icy mountain, rocks, magma, pure electric energy, and crystallized dragon energy in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at one time, alongside the other three, by ancient people. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away in the basement of the [[Snowpoint Temple]], while the ones it created were spirited to the far-off [[Hoenn]] region and locked away in three stone structures, which were then sealed themselves. A message was left in braille to whomever would come to discover the [[Sealed Chamber]], whose only access was via an [[underwater]] cavern, in the hopes that one day the Pokémon could be {{pkmn2|Caught|tamed}}. {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}} were sealed in the [[Split-Decision Ruins]] located in the [[Crown Tundra]] due to fearing the destruction and terror they have caused the ancient people.

However, there is one special Ruin where the two other Legendary titans, {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}, can be found. Once the player collects the original three and filled out the clues corresponding to the three, they may obtain their choice of either. In order to be able to catch the titans, the pattern on the floor in the ruins must be lit up, and the player interacts with the statues. In the case for Regieleki and Regidrago, the pattern is a combination of both, and the player is to mark the pattern of the titan of their choice. Once the titan is encountered, the tiles that were not part of the Pokémon's pattern is permanently dimmed, even if the player ran away from or defeated the titan.

The 90th Trainer, {{tc|Area Leader}} Axley, has a party consisting of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Relicanth}}, and {{p|Wailord}}. Flygon is likely included because it can learn {{m|Dig}}, which is required to unseal the titans.
* When the titans are encountered in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, a remixed version of the music used in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is played. This theme is also used for Regigigas in the latter.
* Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are the only [[Generation III]] [[Legendary Pokémon]] to not be featured in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* All of the original Legendary titans, as well as Regigigas, share a weakness to {{type|Fighting}} moves, making them the only [[Legendary trio]] to share a common weakness, but not a common type.
* [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon]] is the only core series game in which the player does not need any of the Legendary titans in their party to encounter Regigigas.
* The Legendary Titans are the first [[Legendary trio]] to gain new members from a different generation.
** It is also the only Legendary Pokémon group to be a quintet.

'''Matori's Meowth''' (Japanese: '''マトリニャース''' ''Matori's Nyarth'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Matori]].

==History==
===As a wild Pokémon===
Matori's Meowth was first seen by the {{MTR}} of the [[Team Rocket trio]] in [[Alola]] during ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]''. He encountered his Alolan counterpart when he fell in the mud after getting mad at [[Jessie]] for stealing his limited edition ice cream. When Jessie and [[James]] came looking for Meowth, they mistook the Alolan Meowth for their own and headed back to base. They soon realized their mistake when their Meowth returned.

Team Rocket warmed up to the Alolan Meowth quickly and realized they could use the [[Darkinium Z]] [[Z-Crystal|Crystal]] on it, only to learn that they needed a [[Z-Ring]]. Jessie was keen to catch it but the Alolan Meowth declined, deciding it wanted more time. Team Rocket's Meowth wasn't too happy by how his teammates were impressed with his Alolan counterpart, but they were interrupted by a call from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. Upon seeing the Alolan Meowth, {{an|Giovanni}} showed interest in it, pleasing Jessie and James. After showing {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}'s insides to the Alolan Meowth, it ran away.

Later, the Alolan Meowth was checking Team Rocket on their computer when Team Rocket's Meowth returned, having come up with a plan to win back Jessie and James' favor. He told the Alolan Meowth to meet it by the [[Pokémon School]]. The Alolan Meowth waited for its Kantonian counterpart by the school when it came across {{Ash}}'s backpack, which contained his {{AP|Rowlet}}, whereupon it was confronted by Ash and {{ashcl}}. They fell into a pit-trap that was made by Team Rocket, which had been part of the plan the Alolan Meowth had come up with. They were able to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} and fled, but were soon confronted by Ash and his classmates, who had managed to escape. When Pikachu was freed after Mimikyu attacked its case, the Alolan Meowth disappeared.

===With Matori===
[[File:Matori and Meowth.png|250px|thumb|Meowth and Matori]]
After several days, the Alolan Meowth arrived at Team Rocket HQ, where it became Matori's assistant. Giovanni and Matori promptly contacted Team Rocket and congratulated them on sending it over. After the call, the Alolan Meowth made contact once more, informing Team Rocket's Meowth that it intended to replace {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} on the boss's lap, much to Meowth's displeasure. Meowth later discovered that it had stolen his money in order to afford tickets back to Kanto.

From ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'' to ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Alolan Meowth was seen alongside Matori as she headed a special [[Team Rocket]] unit named Matori Matrix (Japanese: '''マトリマトリックス''' ''Matori Matrix''). It kept the team moving when they were drained of their energy.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Team Rocket contacted their headquarters, but Matori and Giovanni were too busy to listen to their report. As a result, Alolan Meowth was assigned to receive it, but it proceeded to ignore them.

In ''[[SM122|Spying for the Big Guy!]]'', Alolan Meowth accompanied Matori to Alola as she attempted to capture {{an|Bewear}}. Having been unable to bring Bewear back, Matori settled for bringing {{an|Stufful}} instead but when Team Rocket switched Stufful for {{TRT}}'s Meowth, Matori's Meowth attacked only to be stopped when Bewear arrived to rescue Meowth.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Matori Meowth and Meowth.png|250px|thumb|Matori's Meowth with Meowth]]
Meowth is cunning and decisive in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it used Jessie and James to find a place where it belongs. It became a rival to Team Rocket's Meowth, as they both have the same desire to sit on Giovanni's lap. Meowth is also quite smart, such as when it realized that Team Rocket was about to be defeated, and promptly left them and Alola for something better.

Above all else, Meowth is focused on the job. [[Matori]] and [[Gozu]] were thinking about abandoning the mission whilst lethargic due to {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} draining Ultra Aura from the adults around the [[region]]. However, Meowth was the one to get them to continue with the mission. Meowth's dedication to the mission was evident in the [[Poké Problem]] segment of ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where it quickly fixed all of the damages to the Matori Matrix's helicopter without Matori or Gozu realizing it.

Meowth tends to ignore Team Rocket, as seen in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', when they contacted the HQ and it proceeded to ignore them. This suggests that Meowth has low respect for them like its Trainer.

'''Steven's Metagross''' (Japanese: '''ダイゴのメタグロス''' ''Daigo's Metagross'') is a Pokémon owned by [[Steven Stone]] in the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
[[File:Steven and Metagross.png|thumb|left|250px|Metagross and Steven]]
=====In the [[Mega Evolution Specials]]=====
Metagross first appeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' as a {{Shiny}} Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. Steven sent it out in a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Alain]]'s {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. It had very little trouble handling Charizard both offensively and defensively. Before the battle could be finished, however, it was interrupted by [[Lysandre]] and his {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}}, who used {{m|Flamethrower}}. Steven later sent out Metagross and Mega Evolved it while facing Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}. When Alain's Charizard was struck by Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, Metagross tried to grab it, but was knocked away by Rayquaza. It was then forced to take evasive action to avoid Rayquaza's {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

Metagross reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where it was used to battle [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] [[Weather trio (XY series)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] and Primal [[Weather trio (XY series)#Groudon|Groudon]] to prevent them from reaching the Megalith. While Charizard faced Groudon, Metagross took on Kyogre. After Charizard was overpowered by Groudon and then returned to its Poké Ball, Metagross dealt with Kyogre by itself. It later {{m|protect}}ed [[Mairin]] from incoming chunks of ice while she was getting Alain to safety after he was knocked unconscious. Both Kyogre and Groudon were eventually stopped and defeated by Mega Rayquaza.

=====In the main series=====
Metagross made its main series debut in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]''. It appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', alongside its Trainer.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Steven and Metagross arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]], where the two engaged in a battle against [[Mable]] and several {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, allowing {{an|Serena}}, {{TRT}}, [[Mairin]], and {{an|Professor Sycamore}} to infiltrate the base. It later appeared to subdue numerous other Team Flare Grunts with Psychic.

In the [[XY135|following episode]], Metagross was sent out to fight against the Megalith {{p|Zygarde}} to prevent it from reaching [[Anistar City]]'s {{DL|Anistar City|Sundial}} alongside [[Serena's Braixen]] and Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}}. The three Pokémon were quickly subdued by the creatures massive roots, but were freed by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Greninja}}, and Alain's Charizard. Despite their help, Metagross and the others were eventually subdued again, but were freed once again by a combined attack from the Pokémon of all the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Diantha]]. After strategizing, everyone combined their powers to fend off the [[Giant Rock]]'s roots, allowing {{Ash}} and Alain to reach its center and save [[Chespie]], bringing the creature down. After the resurrection of the Megalith Zygarde, who was now controlled by Lysandre, Metagross continued to fight the creature until Lysandre's control device was destroyed which allowed [[Squishy]] and [[Z2]] to destroy the Megalith Zygarde.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Metagrossite anime.png|thumb|150px|Metagross's Metagrossite]]
During its battle with Alain's Charizard, Metagross was able to withstand powerful attacks, including ones that are super-effective, such as {{m|Blast Burn}}. It is also capable of dealing large amounts of damage as well with powerful Steel-type attacks, such as {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Meteor Mash}}. As shown in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it can be friendly, such as when it voluntarily defended [[Mairin]] with {{m|Protect}} and fist-bumped Chespie after the battle.

At the behest of its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Metagross used {{m|Flash Cannon}} on the opposing Pokémon, but they managed to defend themselves with their own attacks.

==In the games==
Steven owns a Metagross in every game he appears in, except for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as he doesn't battle the {{player}}. It was only mentioned in one of Steven's quotes.

===In the core series===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it gains the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. It also appears as a {{shiny}} Mega Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]] to promote the [[List of American region Nintendo Network event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Steven's Beldum|Shiny Metagrossite Beldum]] that launched at the full version's release.

====History====
====={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Metagross is Steven's first known Pokémon. It debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]'' alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]'', Metagross was first used in battle inside of the [[Granite Cave]], where Steven used it to battle a group of wild {{p|Mawile}} that were attacking {{adv|Ruby}}. Metagross defeated the Mawile by surprising them with an attack from underground.

In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Metagross was used to save [[Wallace]] from a rampaging [[Tabitha]] under the influence of the [[Blue Orb]]s power. Steven and Metagross stalled Tabitha so that Wallace can head off to [[Sootopolis City]]. [[PS253|Once]] Tabitha had been defeated, Steven and Metagross went to Sootopolis, where {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} were having their climactic battle. With the help of {{adv|Sapphire}} and a [[blind boy]], Steven unlocked the seals containing {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. Steven would use these three Pokémon to help contain the power that {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} released during their fight while Ruby and Sapphire trained on {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} to prepare for their final battle.

[[PS264|After]] Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their slumber, Steven dies from the strain of controlling three Legendary Pokémon at once. Wallace borrowed Metagross to transport himself to Sootopolis so that he can help combat [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] for the final battle. Metagross was [[PS267|returned]] to its Trainer after Steven was revived with Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s powers.

====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
In ''[[PAORAS06|Omega Alpha Adventure 6]]'', it is revealed that with Steven's [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]] and its [[Metagrossite]], Metagross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Metagross. It first Mega Evolved to battle a {{p|Hoopa|mysterious Pokémon}} that attacked {{adv|Emerald}} on the [[Sea Mauville]]. It Mega Evolved again to battle [[Zinnia]] and her army of former Team Magma and Aqua Grunts. As the battle goes on, Metagross quickly exhausts itself and loses the energy to battle. Steven reveals that Metagross also donated its life energy to the dimensional shifter, but the energy drain left it much weaker than normal and it cannot stay Mega Evolved for a long period of time. Steven states he attempted to try various means to bring Metagross back to full strength, but none of them worked.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Metagross assisted in stopping the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]].

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Metagross was seen with Steven as he sold the [[Villa]] he was staying in while searching for rare stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Once he finished, the two flew back to Hoenn.

====Personality and characteristics====
Metagross's magnetism allows it to float in the air. As such, Steven has been mainly relying on it as a method of flight transportation. It is also an extremely strong battler, defeating a group of [[wild Pokémon]] at once without any sort of trouble.

During the Groudon and Kyogre arc, Metagross allowed Wallace to ride on it after Steven was killed by the strain of controlling the Legendary golems.

'''J's Salamence''' (Japanese: '''Jのボーマンダ''' ''J's Bohmander'') is one of the Pokémon owned by [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]], as well as her most used.

==History==
[[File:J Salamence debut.png|thumb|left|200px|Salamence in its debut]]
Salamence debuted in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', the same episode as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It mostly serves as J's mode of transportation while she is not in her airship. It is also frequently used in battle.

In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', J used Salamence and her {{p|Drapion}} to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Gary's Blastoise]].

J tends to use Salamence for destructive purposes as well. In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', she commanded it to destroy a forest with its {{m|Flamethrower}} to smoke out the {{p|Riolu}} she wanted to capture.

Later, in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', J used its {{m|Hyper Beam}} to knock down the rock, ice, and steel pillars inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]] and Flamethrower to awaken {{p|Regigigas}}. Salamence is also able to hold its own in battle against [[legendary Pokémon]] such as Regigigas and also could evade a volley of {{m|Hyper Beam}}s from {{an|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regirock}}, {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Registeel}}, and {{DL|Brandon's Legendary titans|Regice}} with ease.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', it was used by J to get {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}}, and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} for [[Team Galactic]]. What happened to Salamence after the destruction of J's ship is unknown.

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', {{TRT}}'s fantasy featured Salamence with J riding it.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:J and Salamence.png|thumb|200px|Salamence and J]]
Salamence appears to have no trouble in following J's orders, as evidenced in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'' when it was commanded by J to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on a forest just so J could capture a {{p|Riolu}} for profit. In many of the battles Salamence partook, it barely took damage from any attacks coming from its opponents and had quick movements that allowed it to not get hit by them as well. Similar to {{an|Giovanni}} with his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, J appears to value Salamence more than her other Pokémon, and it was used more often by her.

'''Lysandre's Pyroar''' (Japanese: '''フラダリのカエンジシ''' ''Fleur-de-lis's Kaenjishi'') is the first known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Lysandre]] owns in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He has also appeared in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Pyroar is level 51.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
=====In the [[Mega Evolution Specials]]=====
[[File:Lysandre and Pyroar.png|thumb|250px|left|Pyroar with Lysandre]]
Prior to the events of ''Mega Evolution Special II'', he fought [[Alain]]'s {{p|Charmeleon}} and won. In the episode itself, Pyroar, under Lysandre's supervision, interrupted a battle with [[Alain's Charizard]] and [[Steven's Metagross]] with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Pyroar is always [[Walking Pokémon|out of his Poké Ball]].

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', he was seen with Lysandre while the latter instructed [[Alain]] and {{Steven}}.

In another flashback in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' Pyroar is there when Lysandre gives Alain a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Charizardite X]].

=====In the main series=====
Pyroar made his main series debut in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre used him alongside his {{Shiny}} {{me|Gyarados}} to battle {{Ash}} and Alain, but he was defeated in a joint effort from Ash's Pokémon and Alain's Mega Charizard X.

His whereabouts following [[XY136|the disappearance of his Trainer]] are unknown.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Lysandre Pyroar 2.png|thumb|250px|right|Pyroar comfortably sleeping at Lysandre's abode]]
Pyroar, as seen in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', is very loyal to Lysandre, always following and helping him in any way he can. He is also a serious and a very tight challenger. In addition, Pyroar has a seemingly high temperament against others, except for his owner. When Pyroar distracted [[Alain]]'s Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X and {{Steven}}'s Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} from their battle, and the two Pokémon reacted to him, Pyroar snarled furiously at them, owing to his fiery nature.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Lysandre Pyroar PG.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre's Pyroar in Pokémon Generations]]
Lysandre's Pyroar first appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]''. Before Lysandre appeared on stage, Pyroar fired a {{m|Flamethrower}} and then Lysandre appeared. Pyroar fired another Flamethrower as Lysandre suddenly teleported away. Lysandre then walked onstage, revealing that his first appearance was a hologram. He was always seen out of his Poké Ball.

==In the manga==
[[File:Lysandre Pyroar Adventures.png|thumb|180px|Pyroar in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Pyroar first appeared in [[PS559]]. He was first seen with Lysandre in Lysandre Café, where he was used to scare {{adv|Trevor}} into giving up a picture that was taken in [[Vaniville Town]]. Pyroar was stopped by [[Diantha]], who had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve to make him back off.

In ''[[PAXY24|Pyroar Breathes]]'', when {{adv|X}} infiltrated the Team Flare Secret HQ to stop Team Flare's plan, Lysandre used Pyroar and the rest of his team to attack the intruder. It initially battled X's [[Salamè]] before it was recalled. Afterward, Pyroar battled X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]]. With the heat of its flames, Pyroar forced Li'l Kanga into hiding back inside its mother's pouch to avoid being burned. When Kanga attempted to retaliate, Pyroar easily overpowered it and slammed it onto the ground.

[[PAXY35|Later]], Pyroar was used alongside Lysandre's other Pokémon to battle {{adv|Mewtwo}} at the [[Pokémon Village]] in order to capture it. When Lysandre's plan to trick Mewtwo into battling X and {{adv|Blue}} and weaken it enough for capture failed, Pyroar and the rest of Lysandre's team battled against Mewtwo again after it Mega Evolved into Mega Mewtwo Y. When Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and had her use {{p|Zygarde}}'s {{m|Land's Wrath}}, the attack's area of effect hit Pyroar and {{p|Mienfoo}} as well, knocking them both out.

When {{adv|Y}} had her {{p|Absol|Solsol}} attack Lysandre in order to take the [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]] off of his hand, Lysandre had Pyroar attack to get Solsol off. Though it managed to throw Solsol off, Lysandre's Mega Ring was taken, causing him to lose the ability to use Mega Evolution. Afterward, Pyroar and Gyarados were used to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. Due to X using multiple Mega Evolutions at once, he was unable to focus on anything other than Zygarde, leaving him wide open to be attacked by Pyroar and Gyarados. Before their attacks could reach, Blaine and Blue arrived and defeated Pyroar and Gyarados with Mewtwo and {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, respectively.

'''Cynthia's Garchomp''' (Japanese: '''シロナのガブリアス''' ''Shirona's Gaburias'') is [[Cynthia]]'s main {{pkmn|battle|battling}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{pkmn|games}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
Garchomp debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', where she was seen battling [[Lucian]]'s {{p|Bronzong}}. Even though Bronzong was shown to be a powerful Pokémon in the battle against {{an|Dawn}}'s {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', the Bronze Bell Pokémon's {{m|Flash Cannon}} barely did any damage to Garchomp, who knocked it out with {{m|Giga Impact}}. In the same episode, she battled against [[Paul]] when {{an|Cynthia}} accepted Paul's challenge for a [[Full Battle]]. Once again her incredible resistance was showcased, as Cynthia allowed her to absorb {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and Weavile's {{m|Blizzard}}, before knocking out the former with {{m|Dig}} and the latter with {{m|Dragon Rush}}. She easily overpowered his {{TP|Paul|Murkrow}}, with Giga Impact easily besting {{m|Sky Attack}}, before fighting against his powerful [[starter Pokémon]], {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. Torterra managed to inflict damage on Garchomp, immobilised from Giga Impact, with {{m|Giga Drain}}. When it tried to follow up with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, however, Garchomp pried apart the roots and knocked Torterra out with a {{m|Brick Break}} to the head. Paul forfeited after this, giving Cynthia the win.

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Garchomp was used to battle [[Team Galactic]]'s Pokémon. Her strength was once more demonstrated in the simple defeat of [[Saturn]]'s {{p|Bronzor}}. She also fought [[Mars's Purugly]] and [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] with help from Ash, Dawn, and Cynthia's {{p|Gastrodon}}. However, they ultimately failed to prevent [[Team Galactic]] obtaining the [[Lustrous Orb]].

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Garchomp battled {{EF|Aaron}}'s {{p|Drapion}} on [[television]]. The outcome of this particular battle isn't known.

She also appeared along with Cynthia in a cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' battling {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}'s {{p|Milotic}}.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Garchomp easily knocked out [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Skuntank}} with a single Giga Impact and restrained Jupiter herself. She then bore [[Dawn's Piplup]] into battle against Team Galactic, and used {{m|Draco Meteor}} to help attack the Red Chains holding {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

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

Garchomp was shown on TV winning a close battle between [[Flint's Infernape]] in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. Infernape fought well, but was unable to withstand Dragon Rush, and was defeated.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Cynthia and Garchomp.png|250px|thumb|left|Garchomp and Cynthia]]
In ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'', Garchomp battled [[Iris's Axew]]. Axew's {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}} successfully hit Garchomp but seemed to do no damage. Garchomp then used her Dragon Rush and Draco Meteor attacks to cause a lot of damage to Axew. At the last second when it seemed like Axew was down, he got back up and ended up knocking Garchomp down with his newly learned Giga Impact and shocking everybody. Garchomp quickly recovered and was about to finish Axew off with a Brick Break but was called off by Cynthia at the last second.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Garchomp battled [[Caitlin]]'s {{p|Gothitelle}} in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} for the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. After being initially confused by {{m|Flatter}}, Garchomp was repeatedly slammed on the battlefield and finally lifted high into the air by Gothitelle's {{m|Psychic}}. Overcoming the confusion, Garchomp cleverly used the top of the stadium to launch herself forward to deliver a successful Dragon Rush. After Garchomp's Draco Meteor was stopped by Gothitelle's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and both their Brick Break attacks clashed, the battle's inexplicitly short 10 minute time limit ran out, and the match was named a tie.

In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Garchomp was sent out to battle the {{an|Forces of Nature}}.

====Personality and characteristics====
Cynthia has a strong bond with Garchomp, as it is used more often than any of her other Pokémon. Similar to other Pokémon belonging to {{pkmn|Champion}}s, Garchomp can withstand attacks coming from other Pokémon, which was shown during the battle with [[Paul]], where she was easily able to defeat Paul's team without a scratch. Garchomp was also helpful when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} dealt with [[Team Galactic]] and {{TRT}} on two separate occasions.

===In the Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp PMT.png|thumb|250px|Garchomp (background) in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]]]
Cynthia's Garchomp appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]. Alongside [[Lance's Dragonite]] and [[Steven's Metagross]], she battled [[Cheren]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}, [[Misty's Starmie]], and [[Korrina's Lucario]]. Garchomp used {{m|Dragon Claw}} on Stoutland, knocking it back into Lucario as it tried to catch its teammate.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
====History====
====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Garchomp, as a {{p|Gabite}}, was seen accompanying Cynthia on her tour in the [[Johto]] region. It was with her when she witnessed {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Dialga}} and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Palkia}} flying towards Sinnoh.

====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp in Pokémon Adventures]]
Garchomp is Cynthia's main battling Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures. Garchomp is well trained enough that she can battle even without her Trainer giving her commands. Garchomp first appeared with her Trainer in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]'', where she held Cynthia's coat while Cynthia helped train {{adv|Platinum}}.

In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Garchomp was used to take {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and Platinum to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} so that Cynthia can heal the {{p|Psyduck}} barricade there. Later, Cynthia lent Garchomp to her Grandmother so that she, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum could make it to [[Celestic Town]] safely. Upon arriving, Garchomp gets into a fight with the leader of [[Team Galactic]], [[Cyrus]]. She attempts to prevent Cyrus from entering the Celestic Ruins, but inadvertently assists him in getting inside after her accuracy is lowered, causing her attacks to miss and make a bigger opening.

In ''[[PS409|Shunning Spiritomb]]'', Garchomp was used as Cynthia's third and final Pokémon against Cyrus at the Galactic HQ. Still angry from their previous battle, Garchomp attacks Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}} ferociously. Seeing how angry she was, Cynthia has Garchomp use her strongest move, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, despite the fact that they haven't fully mastered the move yet. The attack, while powerful, was made weaker by Garchomp's fury, preventing her from being strong enough to defeat Cyrus, and left Garchomp to pursue the escaping opponent. With Cyrus gone, Garchomp was used to take Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the [[Spear Pillar]] for the final battle against Cyrus.

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
[[File:Cynthia Gabite Adventures.png|thumb|200px|right|As a Gabite]]
In the {{chap|Platinum}}, Cynthia's grandmother, angry at her granddaughter for what happened at the Galactic HQ, forces Cynthia to train and perfect Draco Meteor. In ''[[PS440|Alternate Dimension Showdown X]]'', Garchomp used her newly perfected Draco Meteor on [[Charon]] and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}}, who were escaping the [[Distortion World]] after their battle with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[File:Cynthia Garchomp DPA.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]
Cynthia's Garchomp first appeared in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys]]''. Garchomp was sent out to {{m|slash}} the {{m|String Shot}} coming from [[B-2]]'s three {{p|Wurmple}}.

In ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]'', Garchomp was sent out to block an attack coming from [[Jupiter]]'s {{p|Crobat}}.

In ''[[DPA23|A New Battle Begins!]]'', Garchomp was used to battle [[Mitsumi]]'s {{p|Infernape}}. Both sides charged at each other with {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Overheat}}, respectively. They were both recalled for {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Electivire}}. Garchomp and Infernape were sent out again later on. Infernape attacked with {{m|Focus Blast}} in which Garchomp dodged. The Focus Blast headed straight for [[Hareta]] and [[Koya]], in which Koya protected himself with {{p|Metagross}}. Garchomp won the battle by default when Mitsumi decided to resign seeing that it was more fun for her to watch the tournament instead of fighting in it.

'''Korrina's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''コルニのルカリオ''' ''Corni's Lucario'') is [[Korrina]]'s main {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It was often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Korrina Riolu.png|thumb|250px|As a Riolu]]
Lucario is {{an|Korrina}}'s first known Pokémon. They have been together ever since Korrina was a child and Lucario was a Riolu. According to Korrina, they have grown so close together that she considers the two of them soulmates.

=====In ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''=====
Lucario debuted alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}} in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''. It was first used to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] as a part of a challenge to get 100 straight victories in a row. Although Pikachu fought hard, Lucario defeated it without taking a single hit, giving Korrina and Lucario their 99th victory. After the battle ended, Lucario and Korrina had lunch with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. During the lunch, Korrina revealed her history with [[Mega Evolution]] as the Leader of the [[Shalour Gym]]. They were interrupted by {{TRT}}, who trapped Lucario and Pikachu in a box whilst disguised as Mega Evolution appraisers and took them away in their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's Meowth balloon|balloon}}. Pikachu and Lucario repeatedly attempted to break out of the box with their attacks, but only ended up exhausting themselves. Using her bond with Lucario, Korrina lead Ash and his friends to where Lucario and Pikachu were being taken to. They arrived just as Lucario and Pikachu freed themselves from the box with a combination of {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Power-Up Punch}}.

Team Rocket refused to back down and they challenged Ash and Korrina to a battle. Together, Lucario and Pikachu defeated Team Rocket and sent them blasting off, giving Korrina and Lucario their 100th successive victory. Ash and his friends then decided to travel with Korrina and Lucario to [[Geosenge Town]] so that they could see Lucario's Mega-Evolved state once she obtained a [[Lucarionite]].

[[File:Korrina Lucario Lucarionite.png|thumb|left|250px|Lucario's Lucarionite]]
In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', Ash, his friends, and Korrina arrived in Geosenge Town to obtain the Lucarionite. They traveled to a cave where the stone was rumored to be held, only to be attacked by a {{p|Blaziken}} guarding the stone. Lucario battled Blaziken in order to obtain the Lucarionite, but it proved to be no match at first due to Blaziken's strength and type advantage. After some encouragement from Ash, Korrina and Lucario regained their resolve, allowing them to immobilize Blaziken. Before the final blow could be struck, [[Gurkinn]] appeared, revealing himself to be Blaziken's Trainer, and admitted defeat. Gurkinn explained that he set the battle up as a final trial for Korrina and Lucario and told them that they had succeeded in passing it. Later, with the Lucarionite in hand, Korrina had Lucario Mega Evolve for the first time.

In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', after becoming Mega Lucario, Korrina and Ash decided to have another battle to test out Lucario's new strength. Due to a lack of control over its transformation, Mega Lucario eventually lost control of its new power and attacked Pikachu in a violent frenzy. Ash stepped in to protect Pikachu from further harm, but Mega Lucario continued attacking, only to be stopped by Gurkinn's Lucario. Mega Lucario eventually fainted from overexertion and was taken to the nearby [[Pokémon Center]] to get healed. Once healed, Korrina outfitted Lucario with an armband created by [[McGinty]] with the Lucarionite embedded inside.

Soon after, Korrina and Gurkinn faced each other in a battle with their Mega Lucario. Gurkinn's Mega Lucario proved to be much more skilled and easily blocked Korrina's Mega Lucario's attacks with its control over Aura. Korrina's Mega Lucario eventually went berserk again, but it was still easily defeated by Gurkinn's Mega Lucario and returns to normal. Gurkinn berated Korrina and Lucario for their lack of control and ordered them to travel to [[Pomace Mountain]] in order to receive special training from a Mega Evolution specialist living there. Korrina obeyed and set off to Pomace Mountain along with Ash and his friends.

[[File:Korrina Mega Lucario berserk.png|thumb|250px|Losing control of its Mega-Evolved state]]
In ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', the group traveled to a cave, but a Team Rocket plan caused them to get separated from each other. Lucario was stuck with Ash, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} while Korrina was stuck with {{an|Clemont}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. After a day of searching for each other, Lucario's group eventually found Korrina, Clemont, and Pikachu under the attack of Team Rocket. Due to the machines Team Rocket used to power up their Pokémon, Lucario and the others suggested Korrina use Mega Evolution to make Lucario strong enough to win. Although reluctant due to the risk of Lucario going out of control again, Korrina Mega Evolved Lucario, giving it the power to easily take down Team Rocket's Pokémon. Mega Lucario began to lose control of its Mega Evolution again, causing it to go on a rampage on Ash's side. The sound of Korrina's voice allowed Mega Lucario to control its Mega-Evolved state, but once Mega Lucario sent Team Rocket blasting off, it immediately went out of control again. Mega Lucario then turned back to normal as it could no longer handle the strain of Mega Evolution again.

In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', the group arrived at Pomace Mountain. There, they met [[Mabel]], the Mega Evolution specialist that Gurkinn had told them about earlier. To test their prowess, Mabel and her Mega {{p|Mawile}} faced Korrina and Mega Lucario in battle. Mabel's Mega Mawile proved to be much stronger and easily dodged all of Mega Lucario's attacks. When Mega Lucario went berserk once more, Mabel had Mega Mawile knock Mega Lucario out to revert it to its normal form. Devastated, Korrina and Lucario requested special training from Mabel, but were told to do flower arranging instead. After several more days of flower arranging, Korrina began to get tired of it and wondered when their training would finally start. Mabel approached the two and explained that the flower arranging was actually the training all along, as it was used to improve Korrina and Lucario's bond with each other.
[[File:Korrina and Lucario.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Lucario and Korrina]]
The talk was interrupted by an attack by Team Rocket, who had captured Pikachu and Mawile. Korrina Mega Evolved Lucario, but Team Rocket used a strategy to prevent it from getting any moves in. Mega Lucario eventually lost control once again but was still unable to take down Team Rocket. Using the advice Mabel gave her, Korrina stepped in and reminded Mega Lucario about what their training was for. This allowed Lucario to finally gain control of its Mega Evolution. Mega Lucario freed Pikachu and Mawile from their cages and teamed up with them to defeat Team Rocket. Lucario was revealed to have learned {{m|Aura Sphere}} as well and used its new move to send Team Rocket blasting off. The next day, Korrina and Lucario said their goodbyes to Ash and his friends and looked forward to their upcoming Gym challenge later.

In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', after Ash and his friends arrived in [[Shalour City]], Lucario was used to battle Team Rocket, who were trying to steal a scroll they believed to contain the secret to Mega Evolution from the [[Tower of Mastery]]. After Mega Evolving, Lucario sent them blasting off and got the scroll back in the process. In [[XY044|the next episode]], Lucario was the final Pokémon used by Korrina during her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash. As Ash had already defeated her {{p|Mienfoo}} and {{p|Machoke}} without losing any of his own Pokémon, Korrina immediately Mega Evolved her Lucario, who then proceeded to take out [[Ash's Fletchinder]] and {{AP|Hawlucha}} with little trouble. Ash then chose to use Pikachu, who was ready to battle Mega Lucario once again. After a fierce battle, in which both sides gave everything they had, Pikachu was eventually able to defeat the Aura Pokémon with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, winning the battle for Ash and earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}.

Lucario made a brief appearance in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', where it watched the [[Gloire City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Master Class alongside Korrina and Gurkinn.

During the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Lucario was shown battling [[Alain]]'s [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]] at the [[Shalour Gym]], as a Mega Lucario. At the end of ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', the outcome of that battle was revealed; Charizard emerged as the victor and thus earning Alain his eighth [[Badge]], as well as qualification for the [[Lumiose Conference]].

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lucario seen watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from [[Lumiose City]] along with Korrina. It also appeared in a flashback in the [[XY133|following episode]]. Lucario reappeared alongside its Trainer in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where they were among those who assisted Ash, his friends, and Alain in defeating the [[Giant Rock]] that threatened to destroy Kalos.

=====In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
In [[JN025]], Korrina used Lucario during her [[rematch]] with Ash at the [[World Coronation Series]] Battle Festival in Shalour City. It was initially sent out to face [[Ash's Gengar]] through her {{p|Mienshao}}'s {{m|U-turn}}, quickly defeating its opponent with a super-effective {{m|Bone Rush}} without taking any [[damage]]. Lucario was then recalled and replaced with Mienshao again. After Mienshao had been defeated by [[Ash's Dragonite]], Korrina sent Lucario out again and Mega Evolved it instantly. Thanks to its Mega Evolution, Lucario proved to be a very tough opponent for Dragonite. In the end, however, Dragonite was able to defeat it, earning Ash his second victory over Korrina and a promotion to the World Coronation Series Super Class.

Lucario appeared in a flashback in [[JN034]], where it was revealed to have lost a battle against [[Bea]].

====Personality and characteristics====
Due to Lucario spending so much time with Korrina since it was a Riolu, their bond is very close and strong. During battle, Lucario was shown to be very fast and strong, being able to defeat Ash's Pikachu with hardly any trouble in their first match. Prior to ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', when Lucario would Mega Evolve, it had trouble controlling it and went berserk until Mabel trained Korrina to handle Lucario's Mega Evolution. It has shown to be quite friendly to others.

===In the Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer===
[[File:Korrina Lucario Masters Aura Sphere.png|250px|thumb|Lucario in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]]]
Korrina's Lucario appeared in the [[Pokémon Masters Animated Trailer]]. Alongside [[Cheren]]'s {{p|Stoutland}} and [[Misty's Starmie]], it battled [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], [[Steven's Metagross]], and [[Lance's Dragonite]]. At the behest of its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Lucario tried to catch Stoutland after it was knocked back by Garchomp's {{m|Dragon Claw}}, but this backfired and both Pokémon were incapacitated. After Starmie defended it and Stoutland from Dragonite's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Lucario defended itself from Metagross's {{m|Flash Cannon}} with Aura Sphere.

==In the games==
===In the core series===
Korrina initially has two Lucario. One of them approaches the {{player}} on {{rt|5|Kalos}} after he takes a liking to the {{player}}'s Aura. Korrina uses both of them to battle the player at [[Geosenge Town]], while none of them are used in the Gym. Both of them later appear on top of the [[Tower of Mastery]] alongside their Trainer, with the Lucario that took a liking to the player temporarily joining their team for the battle. After being defeated, Korrina gives this Lucario to the player. Korrina's other Lucario is later used on her Battle Chateau team after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Korrina Lucario Adventures.png|thumb|150px|left|Lucario in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Korrina Riolu Adventures.png|thumb|150px|left|As a Riolu]]
Lucario is Korrina's only known Pokémon. She has had him ever since he was a Riolu, where he trained with Korrina and even helped obtain the Lucarionite that would be used to Mega Evolve him once he evolved.

Lucario debuted in [[PS555]], where Korrina sent him out to help {{adv|X}} retrieve his stolen [[Kangaskhanite]] from [[Celosia]]. Upon revealing herself, Korrina had Lucario Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario and sent him off to attack Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}. With his [[Aura]], Lucario prevented Celosia's Aegislash from controlling X and his friends' minds. Lucario distracted Aegislash long enough for the Kangaskhanite to be retrieved, allowing X to Mega Evolve [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]] into Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Together with Kanga and Li'l Kanga, Lucario defeated Aegislash, forcing Celosia to escape as she knew she cannot defeat two Mega-Evolved Pokémon simultaneously.

At the Tower of Mastery, Lucario Mega Evolved to battle a {{p|Trevenant}} that began attacking the place. Korrina quickly realized that the Trevenant was not wild, but its {{pkmn|Trainer}} wasn't in the area, meaning that the Trevenant was only a distraction. The Trainer was revealed to be [[Emma|Essentia]], who kept Korrina away so that she could interrogate Gurkinn about the secrets of Mega Evolution. Once Korrina went down to help her grandfather, Lucario teamed up with Gurkinn's Mega {{p|Heracross}} to defeat Essentia. Essentia attempted to take the tower by covering it in Trevenant's roots, but Gurkinn decided to destroy the tower to make sure the secrets of Mega Evolution did not fall into the hands of [[Team Flare]]. Korrina and Gurkin had Lucario and Heracross activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruction switch by destroying the Mega Lucario statue, causing the tower to collapse in on itself. Lucario later helps save a wild {{p|Diancie}} from a thief alongside Gurkinn's Heracross and [[Diantha's Gardevoir]].

[[File:Korrina Mega Lucario Adventures.png|thumb|200px|As a Mega Lucario]]
In ''[[PAXY20|Changing Gengar]]'', Korrina and her Lucario, along with [[Diantha]] and her Gardevoir, joined X and his friends to battle Team Flare on {{rt|8|Kalos}} while they started their operation to transport the dormant [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|their base]]. After being briefly distracted by the arrival of [[Malva]], Korrina and Lucario started pursuing Celosia, who was in charge of transporting {{p|Xerneas}}. Korrina Mega Evolved Lucario and engaged in yet another battle against Celosia's Aegislash, repeatedly punching it. At first, Celosia mocked Korrina on using the same battling style as during their first battle in [[Santalune City]]. However, as the battle ended in a draw, Celosia noticed that during the fight, Lucario had used his Aura to undo Aegislash's mind control on the citizens of [[Vaniville Town]] held hostage by Team Flare and used to transport Xerneas. Unfortunately, due to Lucario being defeated too, he was unable to defend Korrina from Celosia's {{p|Honedge}}, which then attacked her from behind, giving her opponent the chance to steal her [[Key Stone]].

In ''[[PAXY38|Xerneas Gives]]'', when {{adv|Shauna}} faced off against Celosia again, Lucario was called on to assist her in the battle. With his Aura, Lucario prevented Celosia's Aegislash from controlling Shauna's mind. Once Celosia's {{p|Doublade}} was defeated, Lucario came down and attacked Celosia and Aegislash with a {{m|Foresight}}-{{m|Aura Sphere}} combination, defeating them at the same time.

====Personality and characteristics====
[[File:Lucarionite Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Lucario's Lucarionite]]
Lucario is a strong battler and can adapt well to bad situations, such as fighting {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. It also learns from past battles, such as when it learned {{m|Foresight}} to better combat Ghost types in the future. Lucario never hesitates to protect others, willing to go up against bad odds to save people and Pokémon. It shares a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, as the two have been with each other since [[Korrina]] was young. Using its [[Aura]], Lucario can prevent mind control of itself and those around it.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
====History====
====={{chap|Emerald}}=====
Seviper first appeared in ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]'', in the opening ceremony of the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. She was then used in an exhibition tag battle with [[Palace Maven Spenser]] and his {{p|Crobat}}. She started things off by targeting {{p|Electrode}} since it wasn't a {{type|Poison}}, so Seviper teamed up with Crobat to weaken it and as soon as Electrode was on the brink of fainting, {{p|Swalot}} jumped in and put Seviper to sleep. She woke up immediately and dug a hole underground. Lucy revealed this when Swalot went for {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Seviper burrowed back up and single-handedly defeat Electrode and Swalot, declaring Lucy and Spenser as the winners. When {{adv|Emerald}} crashed the press conference, Seviper wrapped herself around the young Trainer so that he wouldn't escape.
[[File:Lucy Seviper Shed Skin Adventures.png|thumb|left|180px|Activating {{a|Shed Skin}}]]
In ''[[PS307|Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie]]'', she was seen with Lucy while Lucy told {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} that she would be the next Frontier Brain Emerald was going to face after Noland's loss. When Emerald was sleeping in mid-air, with {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} and {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} tied to the [[Battle Pike]]'s fangs, Lucy sent out her Seviper to cut them free. As Emerald reached the 139th room and opened the doors to the next room, Seviper appeared along with Lucy's other Pokémon when Lucy took her station. Seviper was the first Pokémon that Lucy sent out in her battle against Emerald when he challenged her at the end of the Battle Pike. She went up against the {{p|Blissey}} Emerald borrowed from {{adv|Crystal}} earlier. During their [[PS309|battle]], Seviper was hit by Blissey's {{m|Seismic Toss}} but it wasn't long until Seviper used {{m|Poison Fang}} by seeping poison out from her fangs and the poison touched Blissey which badly poisoned her. Lucy then switched out Seviper and {{p|Shuckle}} took her place when Blissey was about to attack even though she was in her poisoned state, which forced Emerald to switch to {{p|Starmie}}.

After Lucy's Shuckle and {{p|Milotic}} were subdued in the same battle, she uses Seviper again where she battled Emerald's {{p|Rapidash}}. During the battle, Rapidash was beat, leaving them both with one Pokémon. Blissey was able to withstand much abuse with its inherently high defense, but eventually lost ground and was beaten. As the other Brains were about to rejoice on Lucy's victory, Rapidash awoke and promptly defeated Seviper with its {{m|Overheat}} attack.

Seviper was [[PS312|later]] seen with Lucy when the Frontier Brains were looming over an unconscious Noland after [[Guile Hideout]] knocked him out cold. She was also seen standing next to Lucy when Lucy and the other Frontier Brains stop Emerald when they were questioning {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}'s whereabouts.

In ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]'', Lucy uses Seviper against Guile Hideout alongside other Frontier Brains' Pokémon but lost as Guile easily sent them flying with a swing from his sword. During Emerald's battle in the [[Battle Dome]], Seviper helped organize the crowd when they were entering the place. [[PS328|Later]], Seviper helped out protecting the people from the rampaging rental Pokémon and dealt with a flood caused by Guile's {{p|Kyogre}}-shaped monster.

====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
In ''[[PAORAS16|Omega Alpha Adventure 16]]'', Seviper helped Lucy fight the Admins of Neo [[Team Magma]] and Neo [[Team Aqua]] when they interfered in the launch of a rocket that was designed to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from destroying their world.

In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Seviper assisted in stopping the [[Grand Meteor Delta]].

====Personality and characteristics====
As a powerful and versatile Pokémon, Seviper is Lucy's first choice for battles. Like her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Seviper is confident in her strength and battle skill. It is able to defeat many opponents with her poison and is often seen beside Lucy.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lucy Seviper.png|thumb|200px|Seviper in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Red rose projectile.png|thumb|left|200px|The red rose projectile modeled after her Seviper]]
Seviper appeared in ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]''. After Lucy threw a red rose projectile at {{TRT}}'s balloon, she sent out Seviper to battle them while [[Jessie]] sent out a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} of her own. True to [[Barbara]]'s word and confidence, Lucy's Seviper managed to overpower Jessie's and it was sent crashing into Team Rocket. Seviper finished them off by revealing an ability to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which sent Team Rocket blasting off.

During Ash's match with Lucy in the [[Battle Pike]], Lucy sent out Seviper as her first choice and went up against [[Ash's Donphan]]. Although evenly matched at first, Seviper managed to hold its own against Donphan and countered and dodged every move that Donphan made. However, this wasn't enough as thanks to Donphan catapulting itself upwards by hitting a rock after using {{m|Rollout}}, Seviper was defeated and Lucy was left with one Pokémon.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Lucy and Seviper.png|thumb|200px|Seviper and Lucy]]
Lucy appears to trust Seviper the most out of all her Pokémon, as seen when she owned several things in the shape of Seviper such as the Battle Pike and her red rose projectile. This was also demonstrated during battle, when Lucy closed her eyes at one point and knew by heart what attacks the opponent was going to throw at it. [[Barbara]] even pointed out Seviper's strengths, which were shown when it single-handedly took out {{TRT}}.

[[File:Lucy Seviper CBF.png|thumb|200px|Seviper and Lucy in Pokémon Battle Frontier]]
Lucy's Seviper appeared in ''[[CBF5|The Predestined Battle!]]''. It was first seen with its Trainer when she went up to {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} and had a conversation with him. Later, it battled with Enta's {{p|Milotic}} first where it managed to daze it with an unidentified attack. Afterwards, it faced off against his {{p|Zangoose}} after both sides were down to one Pokémon. Since both of them are natural enemies to each other, it was hard for Enta to have Zangoose to listen to him. However, Zangoose was finally able to listen to Enta after he jumped in the way of a {{m|Poison Tail}} attack launched by Seviper. With Zangoose and Enta in sync with each other, Zangoose was able to defeat Seviper with {{m|Crush Claw}}.

'''Houndoom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘルガー''' ''Hellgar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Houndour}} starting at [[level]] 24.

Houndoom can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Houndoom''' using the [[Houndoominite]].

==Biology==
Houndoom is a quadruped, canine Pokémon that is mainly colored black with a long orange snout and an orange underbelly. It has small, red eyes and a black nose. Around its neck is a white band with a small skull-shaped pendant on its throat. There are two white bands on each of its ankles, as well as three rib-like ridges on its back. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail with a triangular tip and three clawed toes on each paw. On top of its head is a pair of long, curved gray horns. These horns are smaller on the female than the male.

In a Houndoom pack, the one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Leadership is determined by fights within the pack. Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create unique fire mixed with poison. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the wounds it inflicts will never heal. After finishing off the prey, Houndoom divides it evenly among its pack. Houndoom appears near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain areas}}. Its howling induces shivering in other Pokémon, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests. This resulted in people referring to Houndoom's howl as the ''Grim Reaper''.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Houndoom, the ridges on its back thicken, and it gains additional, bone-like rings around the base of its tail. The rings on its tail have small spikes on top, causing them to resemble vertebrae. The ridge at the base of Mega Houndoom's neck is longer and curves forward towards its shoulders. Instead of a band with a skull pendant, there is a large, toothed structure around its neck. This bone-like formation has two large spikes on either side and three pointed teeth on the bottom. Mega Houndoom's horns now point straight up with a small, outward curve in the middle. The two bands on its hind legs have vanished, and those on its forelegs are broken in the front. Its claws are a dark red due to its ability to generate more heat, which themselves cause pain to Mega Houndoom.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Houndoom</ref> Finally, the tip of its tail is now split down the middle. When it Mega Evolves, its entire body generates heat. Its fiery breath is now powerful enough to burn foes into ashes.

==Trivia==
* Houndoom has three different sprites in each [[Generation II]] game. It also shares this same trait in [[Generation IV]] games. This makes it one of the few Pokémon with this distinction.

===Origin===
Houndoom may have been based on the {{wp|Cerberus}} of {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek}} and {{wp|Roman mythology}}, or other {{wp|black dog (ghost)|legends}} of {{wp|hellhound}}s. Houndoom is also similar in appearance to {{wp|Dobermann}}s. Its tail resembles that of common depictions of the {{wp|devil}}. Houndoom also seems to bear some resemblance to the extinct {{wp|thylacine}}, a hound-like marsupial with a lean body and stripey pattern on its back, much like Houndoom in respects of appearance. Houndoom's {{Shiny}} coloration could be based on {{wp|Yama}}, the Hindu Lord of the Fallen, who often appears blue and red. Its pack-hunting, social nature, pecking order, and overall feral nature may be a reference to {{wp|Wolf|gray wolves}}.

====Name origin====
Houndoom is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''doom''.

Hellgar is a combination of ''{{wp|hell}}'' (alluding to its dark and fiery nature, as a hellhound) and ''gar'' (a sound that dogs make).

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=Dark|type2=Fire

Herowho: /* In the main series */

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|250px|Artwork featuring the player's starter Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} through {{Gen|IV}}]]
[[File:Unova starters anime.png|thumb|250px| [[Unova]] starter Pokémon, as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Kalos starters XY anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime artwork of the [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' or '''first partner Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''{{tt|最初|さいしょ}}のポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounters.

Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

In the [[core series]] games, it is said that the starter Pokémon are extremely rare in the wild, giving the {{player}} a reason why the Pokémon not chosen can't be found in the wild.

==In the games==
In the core series {{pkmn|games}} ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with two]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|exceptions]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, typically the one that has a type advantage over the player's.

===Starter Pokémon===
====Core series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its {{i|Poké Ball}} on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary beasts]] will roam the Kanto region after defeating [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]—if the player chooses Bulbasaur, {{p|Entei}} will appear, {{p|Suicune}} will appear to those who chose Charmander, and {{p|Raikou}} will appear to those that went with Squirtle.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by their side.

[[Professor Sycamore]] will let the player choose one of these three Pokémon after meeting him in person and beating his team of Kanto starters in {{pkmn|battle}}. After making their choice, Professor Sycamore will give the player a [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to the chosen starter's final evolution; [[Venusaurite]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, [[Charizardite X]]{{sup/6|X}}/[[Charizardite Y]]{{sup/6|Y}} for {{p|Charmander}}, and [[Blastoisinite]] for {{p|Squirtle}}. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player receives a Charmander as a gift from [[Leon]] in [[Postwick]] after surpassing him as Champion, which will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]] when fully evolved.

In [[The Isle of Armor]], [[Honey (Galar)|Honey]] will let the player choose either Bulbasaur or Squirtle after completing the Master Dojo's first trial. Once fully evolved, these Pokémon will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]]. Honey will keep the Pokémon not chosen by the player, and use it on her team.

In {{game|Yellow}}, due to being based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Oak instead gives out:

|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | {{tcolor|Electric|FFF}}
|}

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], players will start with {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}, depending on which version of the game they are playing. These Pikachu and Eevee are considered special, separate forms commonly referred to by the game as {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], they will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{i|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the middle stages of the Johto starters are caught as [[Shadow Pokémon]] from a Mystery Troop member. Only one is available for the player to obtain during the main game, while the other two are only available during the post-game. The color of the outfit for the corresponding Mystery Troop member is the same as the type for the Johto starter they have.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, after the player has cleared the entirety of [[Mt. Battle]] without touching a [[PC]] or retiring, [[Battlus]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward. The player can obtain all three Pokémon with consecutive challenges.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player first enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]], Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Shroomish}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Johto starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has their starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. What happens to the starter not selected is unknown. By the end of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before they can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to have [[rematch]]es with the player later. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan or May's role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] is slightly expanded, acting as a post-credits battle in which they gain access to Mega Evolution for their starter Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after they have defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Hoenn starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Akala Island]].

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice, and therefore strong against Barry's. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the second time, Professor Birch can be found being chased by his wife on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Sinnoh starters.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Sinnoh starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Ula'ula Island]].

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}} in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to them, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the [[Elemental monkeys|Pokémon]] given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}}, and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Bianca takes three starter Pokémon to [[Aspertia City]] on Professor Juniper's behalf and offers one of them to the player. The player's friend, [[Hugh]], will have the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, having raised it from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The player character not chosen will have the starter that is weak to the player's choice, but only seen in its second form.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the [[Delta Episode]] is completed, Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Machoke}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Unova starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Unova starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Kalos]]=====
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their starter Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them.

The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kalos starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Alola]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player receives their starter Pokémon in [[Iki Town]] from [[Hala]] and [[Professor Kukui]]. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player receives one from the Professor on {{rt|1|Alola}}. The player's friend [[Hau]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Teacher Emily in the Trainer's School will use the starter that has a type advantage over the player's choice.

During the player's battles first battle against [[Ilima]], his {{p|Smeargle}} will know a basic [[move]] with a type advantage against their starter; {{m|Ember}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, or {{m|Leafage}}. During the player's Champion{{sup/7|SM}} and Title Defense battles, Professor Kukui will use the final evolution of the starter Pokémon with the type advantage to the player's choice. [[Gladion]]'s {{p|Silvally}} will also be holding the [[memory]] of the type the player's starter is weak to. Hau's {{p|Eevee}} will evolve into the [[Eeveelution]] whose type has the advantage to the player's choice. Gladion, in his [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] battle in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], will have a fully evolved Kanto Starter whose type is the same as the player's starter.

In [[The Isle of Armor]], once the player has found 100 of the Hiker's [[Regional form|Alolan]] {{p|Diglett}}, he will give you the starter Pokémon that is the same type the player's starter. This Pokémon has its [[Hidden Ability]].

=====[[Galar]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] the player and [[Hop]] receive their starter Pokémon in [[Postwick]] from [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Galar.

The player's friend [[Hop]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Leon takes the remaining Pokémon into his care, eventually using its final form in the Championship Match against the player.

====Other notable in-game starters====
* The rival of {{game|Yellow}}, {{ga|Blue}}, starts with an {{p|Eevee}} originally intended for the player. The Eevee will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}} if the player loses against the rival at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|the lab]] and either loses or skips the battle on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, {{p|Jolteon}} if the player wins against the rival at both locations, and {{p|Flareon}} if the player wins against the rival once at either location, and loses or skips the other battle.
* [[Wally]], with the help of the player and [[Norman|their father]], will catch a {{p|Ralts}}.
* The player character not chosen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}}, will have a {{p|Marill}}.

In {{g|Colosseum}}:

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the [[Double Battle]] system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at the start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (while also starting with maximum [[friendship]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

This starter Pokémon is in the player's possession right at the beginning of the game. It is at level 10 and knows {{m|Bite}}, which Eevee does not normally know at this level without {{pkmn|breeding}}. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items—[[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], [[Fire Stone]], [[Moon Shard]], and [[Sun Shard]]—to allow the Eevee to evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that existed in [[Generation III]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and defeats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Pokétopia]]=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Starter Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|The Sinnoh starter Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a [[Pokémon Breeder]] for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, not all starter Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

* {{an|Sophocles}} started with a {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}}.
* {{an|Mallow}} started with a {{p|Bounsweet}}, which she recieved in the forest behind the [[Pokémon School]] from her [[Mallow's mother|late mother]]. She has since evolved into a {{TP|Mallow|Tsareena}}.
* {{an|Gladion}} started with an {{p|Eevee}}, which later evolved into an {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}}.
* {{an|Professor Kukui}} started with a {{p|Litten}} that he received from his parents. It has since evolved into an {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}.
* [[Goh]] initially wanted his starter Pokémon to be a {{p|Mew}} like the one he met when he was six, but he changed his mind after befriending a wild {{p|Scorbunny}} in [[Galar]], choosing it as his partner instead. It has since evolved into a {{TP|Goh|Raboot}}.

=====Caught in the wild instead=====
* Ash caught a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
** In the alternate continuity of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} only caught a Charmander, which also went on to evolve.
* Ash also caught the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Chikorita and Cyndaquil evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Quilava}}, respectively.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} caught a Bulbasaur midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by catching {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]], owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn {{pkmn|Egg|hatched}} a {{p|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}.
* Like in the [[original series]], Ash caught all of [[Unova]]'s starter Pokémon, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. However, this time around, he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order, and Oshawott was in fact a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after it ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.
* Ash caught a {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} in [[Kalos]], which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer. It has since evolved into a {{p|Greninja}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} obtained a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in Kalos. It originally belonged to Professor Sycamore as a starting Pokémon for new Trainers.
* {{an|Lana}} is revealed to have caught a {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} in [[Alola]]. Popplio was rescued from being abused by members of [[Team Skull]]. It has since then evolved into {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}.
* While Ash was in Alola, he caught a {{AP|Rowlet}} who was living in a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, a {{p|Trumbeak}}, and a {{p|Toucannon}}. Ash also encountered a {{AP|Litten}} a few times before finally earning its trust and capturing it. Litten has since evolved into an {{p|Incineroar}}.
* While in Wyndon, Goh captured a {{p|Sobble}}.

====In the alternate movie continuity====
* This continuity's {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' started with a {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}, which he received from Professor Oak.
* This continuity's Gary started with a Squirtle, which he received from Professor Oak in ''I Choose You!''.
* This continuity's {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} and {{an|Tierno}} started with a Bulbasaur and Charmander, respectively, with both of them being received from Professor Oak in ''I Choose You!''.
* [[Risa]] started with an {{p|Eevee}}, which she caught by using Ash's Pikachu to weaken it first.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Cheren and Unova starters PBW.png|thumb|200px|The fully evolved Unova starter Pokémon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
[[Monta]], [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] received a {{TP|Monta|Snivy}}, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and Tepig respectively as their first Pokémon. They ended up evolving into their final stages later on.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of starter Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out starter Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon was their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Poli]]wag he had since his childhood, which has evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}}. His "starter Pokémon" was a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] given to him by Professor Oak, which he nicknamed "Saur". He became a '''{{p|Venusaur}}''' in his travels.

[[File:Ruby and his starters.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Ruby}} and his first Pokémon from the left to the right: [[Rara]], [[Kiki]] and [[Nana]]]]
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s first Pokémon were the [[Nana|Poochyena]], [[Kiki|Skitty]] and [[Rara|Ralts]] that he received from his father, all of them having evolved into {{p|Mightyena}}, {{p|Delcatty}} and {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively. Later, he got his "starter Pokémon" from Professor Birch; a [[Mumu|Mudkip]] which he nicknamed "Mumu". He evolved into a '''{{p|Swampert}}''' from the battles he underwent.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Rono|Aron]], now an {{p|Aggron}} her father gave her. Later, he gave her her "starter Pokémon", a [[Chic|Torchic]], which she nicknamed "Chic". She has since evolved twice under her Trainer's care into a '''{{p|Blaziken}}'''.
* When {{adv|Emerald}} arrived in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, he had no Pokémon on hand. Then he challenged the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} using only [[rental Pokémon]], nearly at the end of the challenge, he noticed something suspicious about a '''{{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}''' so he decided to steal him from the facility and kept him afterward, it is later is revealed that the Sceptile was supposed to be his in the first place, making him his "starter Pokémon". He evolved from his {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care. Except for Sceptile, the first Pokémon he captured were [[Sudowoodo]] and [[Dusclops]].
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his {{adv|Lax|Munchlax}}, and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Platinum because of a misunderstanding. He has since evolved to '''{{p|Torterra}}''' alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chatler|Chatot]], and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Chimler|Chimchar]] from Platinum. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an '''{{p|Infernape}}'''.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], now a Rapidash, and later she received her "starter Pokémon", a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. She has since become an '''{{p|Empoleon}}''' under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a [[Brav|Rufflet]] that he captured with the help of a wild [[Musha|Munna]] he had befriended, and later acquired his "starter Pokémon", a [[Bo|Tepig]] from [[Professor Juniper]] which later evolved into an '''{{p|Emboar}}'''. Initially, he was nicknamed "Tep", but the nickname was changed to "Nite" and eventually "Bo", making Black the only main character so far to change his Pokémon's nickname.
* {{adv|White}}'s first Pokémon was a Tepig named [[Gigi]]. She later acquires her "starter Pokémon", a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''. This Servine, which White nicknamed "Amanda", was with [[N]] until Gigi decided to leave White to follow N. It was later revealed that Amanda was a Snivy that was going to be given out to new Trainers by Professor [[Cedric Juniper]] but was liberated by N. Except for Gigi and Amanda, her first Pokémon she captured was [[Deerling]].
* {{adv|Blake}}'s first known Pokémon is a {{TP|Blake|Dewott}}, given to him by the [[International Police|International Police Headquarters]] so he would have a partner Pokémon.
* {{adv|Whitley}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Foongy|Foongus]], given to her by [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Anthea and Concordia]], who allowed Whitley to pick the Pokémon she felt closest to.

* {{adv|Moon}}'s first Pokémon is unknown, as she caught a {{p|Grubbin}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Grimer}}, and {{p|Mareanie}} around the same time. She is later given a {{p|Rowlet}} as her "starter Pokémon" from Professor Kukui. He has since become a '''{{p|Decidueye}}'''.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], much like {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{GnB|Gold}} is offered the choice of one of the three [[Johto]] starter Pokémon – {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} – to borrow so that he may run an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also, like in the games, {{GnB|Black}}, who is based on {{ga|Silver}}, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his starter Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his starter instead.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* The only two Starter Pokémon that are dual-type in their initial form, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.

===In the games===
* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s starter Pokémon are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]: [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]]'s, and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]]'s.
** The {{p|Charmander}} line also appears alone in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar]] regional Pokédex, while the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines appear in the [[Isle of Armor]] regional Pokédex.
* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}}, or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. Starting in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the starters also have an attacking move of their type at level 5.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type starters have {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type starters have {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The lowest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Torterra}}'s {{stat|Speed}}, at 56. The highest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Primarina}}'s {{stat|Special Attack}}, at 126.
* The Pikachu featured in Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and the Eevee in Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee! are the only starter Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which they are starter Pokémon.
** Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s respective starters are also the only ones that cannot be traded to other games.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle (where one type deals 2× damage to and receives ½× damage from another type), only being broken by the Dark type being completely immune to rather than resistant to the Psychic type.
** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.
* It is stated in its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry that {{p|Poipole}} is a common starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis]].
* No fully evolved Grass-type starter Pokémon has a higher base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Contrarily, no unevolved Grass-type starter Pokémon besides {{p|Chespin}} has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Similarly, no unevolved Fire-type starter has a higher base stat total than either its counterparts and no fully evolved Fire-type starter besides {{p|Blaziken}} has a lower one.
* As of [[Generation VIII]], the only set of starters without secondary types in any of their final evolutions are the [[Johto]] starters and the [[Galar]] starters.
** By contrast, the [[Sinnoh]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] starters have a secondary type present in all of their final evolution.
* All fully-evolved Water-type starters can learn the HM moves {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Waterfall}}.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but one of the Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type starter from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}.
* Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], and Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully-evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type starter that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.
* The Kanto starters are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and a {{TP|May|Wartortle}}, while Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.
* The Johto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where none of the members were previously owned by another Trainer or a Pokémon Professor.
** Conversely, the Kanto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous Trainer (excluding Professors).

First partner Pokémon

2020-09-10T14:39:39Z

Herowho: /* In the main series */

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|250px|Artwork featuring the player's starter Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} through {{Gen|IV}}]]
[[File:Unova starters anime.png|thumb|250px| [[Unova]] starter Pokémon, as seen in the anime]]
[[File:Kalos starters XY anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime artwork of the [[Kalos]] starter Pokémon]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' or '''first partner Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''{{tt|最初|さいしょ}}のポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounters.

Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

In the [[core series]] games, it is said that the starter Pokémon are extremely rare in the wild, giving the {{player}} a reason why the Pokémon not chosen can't be found in the wild.

==In the games==
In the core series {{pkmn|games}} ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with two]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|exceptions]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, typically the one that has a type advantage over the player's.

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its {{i|Poké Ball}} on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary beasts]] will roam the Kanto region after defeating [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]—if the player chooses Bulbasaur, {{p|Entei}} will appear, {{p|Suicune}} will appear to those who chose Charmander, and {{p|Raikou}} will appear to those that went with Squirtle.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by their side.

[[Professor Sycamore]] will let the player choose one of these three Pokémon after meeting him in person and beating his team of Kanto starters in {{pkmn|battle}}. After making their choice, Professor Sycamore will give the player a [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to the chosen starter's final evolution; [[Venusaurite]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, [[Charizardite X]]{{sup/6|X}}/[[Charizardite Y]]{{sup/6|Y}} for {{p|Charmander}}, and [[Blastoisinite]] for {{p|Squirtle}}. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player receives a Charmander as a gift from [[Leon]] in [[Postwick]] after surpassing him as Champion, which will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]] when fully evolved.

In [[The Isle of Armor]], [[Honey (Galar)|Honey]] will let the player choose either Bulbasaur or Squirtle after completing the Master Dojo's first trial. Once fully evolved, these Pokémon will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]]. Honey will keep the Pokémon not chosen by the player, and use it on her team.

In {{game|Yellow}}, due to being based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Oak instead gives out:

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], players will start with {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}, depending on which version of the game they are playing. These Pikachu and Eevee are considered special, separate forms commonly referred to by the game as {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], they will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{i|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the middle stages of the Johto starters are caught as [[Shadow Pokémon]] from a Mystery Troop member. Only one is available for the player to obtain during the main game, while the other two are only available during the post-game. The color of the outfit for the corresponding Mystery Troop member is the same as the type for the Johto starter they have.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, after the player has cleared the entirety of [[Mt. Battle]] without touching a [[PC]] or retiring, [[Battlus]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward. The player can obtain all three Pokémon with consecutive challenges.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player first enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]], Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Shroomish}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Johto starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has their starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. What happens to the starter not selected is unknown. By the end of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before they can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to have [[rematch]]es with the player later. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan or May's role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] is slightly expanded, acting as a post-credits battle in which they gain access to Mega Evolution for their starter Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after they have defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Hoenn starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Akala Island]].

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice, and therefore strong against Barry's. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the second time, Professor Birch can be found being chased by his wife on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Sinnoh starters.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Sinnoh starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Ula'ula Island]].

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}} in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to them, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the [[Elemental monkeys|Pokémon]] given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}}, and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Bianca takes three starter Pokémon to [[Aspertia City]] on Professor Juniper's behalf and offers one of them to the player. The player's friend, [[Hugh]], will have the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, having raised it from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The player character not chosen will have the starter that is weak to the player's choice, but only seen in its second form.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the [[Delta Episode]] is completed, Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Machoke}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Unova starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Unova starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Kalos]]=====
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their starter Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them.

The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kalos starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Alola]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player receives their starter Pokémon in [[Iki Town]] from [[Hala]] and [[Professor Kukui]]. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player receives one from the Professor on {{rt|1|Alola}}. The player's friend [[Hau]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Teacher Emily in the Trainer's School will use the starter that has a type advantage over the player's choice.

During the player's battles first battle against [[Ilima]], his {{p|Smeargle}} will know a basic [[move]] with a type advantage against their starter; {{m|Ember}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, or {{m|Leafage}}. During the player's Champion{{sup/7|SM}} and Title Defense battles, Professor Kukui will use the final evolution of the starter Pokémon with the type advantage to the player's choice. [[Gladion]]'s {{p|Silvally}} will also be holding the [[memory]] of the type the player's starter is weak to. Hau's {{p|Eevee}} will evolve into the [[Eeveelution]] whose type has the advantage to the player's choice. Gladion, in his [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense|Title Defense]] battle in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], will have a fully evolved Kanto Starter whose type is the same as the player's starter.

In [[The Isle of Armor]], once the player has found 100 of the Hiker's [[Regional form|Alolan]] {{p|Diglett}}, he will give you the starter Pokémon that is the same type the player's starter. This Pokémon has its [[Hidden Ability]].

=====[[Galar]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] the player and [[Hop]] receive their starter Pokémon in [[Postwick]] from [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Galar.

The player's friend [[Hop]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Leon takes the remaining Pokémon into his care, eventually using its final form in the Championship Match against the player.

====Other notable in-game starters====
* The rival of {{game|Yellow}}, {{ga|Blue}}, starts with an {{p|Eevee}} originally intended for the player. The Eevee will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}} if the player loses against the rival at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|the lab]] and either loses or skips the battle on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, {{p|Jolteon}} if the player wins against the rival at both locations, and {{p|Flareon}} if the player wins against the rival once at either location, and loses or skips the other battle.
* [[Wally]], with the help of the player and [[Norman|their father]], will catch a {{p|Ralts}}.
* The player character not chosen in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}}, will have a {{p|Marill}}.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun]], the [[Pokédex]] identifies the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Poipole}} as a common choice for a starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis|its own world]].
* [[Hop]] has a {{p|Wooloo}} that he has owned since before the start of the game, and uses it in his first battle against the player. Over the course of the story, it evolves into {{p|Dubwool}}.
* [[Marnie]]'s starter Pokémon is her {{p|Morpeko}}, which she received as a gift when she was five from her brother, [[Piers]].

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the [[Double Battle]] system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at the start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (while also starting with maximum [[friendship]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

This starter Pokémon is in the player's possession right at the beginning of the game. It is at level 10 and knows {{m|Bite}}, which Eevee does not normally know at this level without {{pkmn|breeding}}. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items—[[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], [[Fire Stone]], [[Moon Shard]], and [[Sun Shard]]—to allow the Eevee to evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that existed in [[Generation III]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and defeats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Pokétopia]]=====
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Starter Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|The Sinnoh starter Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a [[Pokémon Breeder]] for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, not all starter Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

=====Caught in the wild instead=====
* Ash caught a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
** In the alternate continuity of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} only caught a Charmander, which also went on to evolve.
* Ash also caught the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Chikorita and Cyndaquil evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Quilava}}, respectively.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} caught a Bulbasaur midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by catching {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]], owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn {{pkmn|Egg|hatched}} a {{p|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}.
* Like in the [[original series]], Ash caught all of [[Unova]]'s starter Pokémon, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. However, this time around, he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order, and Oshawott was in fact a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after it ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.
* Ash caught a {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} in [[Kalos]], which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer. It has since evolved into a {{p|Greninja}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} obtained a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in Kalos. It originally belonged to Professor Sycamore as a starting Pokémon for new Trainers.
* {{an|Lana}} is revealed to have caught a {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} in [[Alola]]. Popplio was rescued from being abused by members of [[Team Skull]]. It has since then evolved into {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}.
* While Ash was in Alola, he caught a {{AP|Rowlet}} who was living in a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, a {{p|Trumbeak}}, and a {{p|Toucannon}}. Ash also encountered a {{AP|Litten}} a few times before finally earning its trust and capturing it. Litten has since evolved into an {{p|Incineroar}}.
* While in Wyndon, Goh captured a {{p|Sobble}}.

====In the alternate movie continuity====
* This continuity's {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' started with a {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}}, which he received from Professor Oak.
* This continuity's Gary started with a Squirtle, which he received from Professor Oak in ''I Choose You!''.
* This continuity's {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} and {{an|Tierno}} started with a Bulbasaur and Charmander, respectively, with both of them being received from Professor Oak in ''I Choose You!''.
* [[Risa]] started with an {{p|Eevee}}, which she caught by using Ash's Pikachu to weaken it first.

==In the manga==
===In the Be the Best! Pokémon B+W manga===
[[File:Cheren and Unova starters PBW.png|thumb|200px|The fully evolved Unova starter Pokémon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
[[Monta]], [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] received a {{TP|Monta|Snivy}}, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and Tepig respectively as their first Pokémon. They ended up evolving into their final stages later on.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of starter Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out starter Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon was their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====

[[File:Ruby and his starters.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Ruby}} and his first Pokémon from the left to the right: [[Rara]], [[Kiki]] and [[Nana]]]]
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s first Pokémon were the [[Nana|Poochyena]], [[Kiki|Skitty]] and [[Rara|Ralts]] that he received from his father, all of them having evolved into {{p|Mightyena}}, {{p|Delcatty}} and {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively.

Then he challenged the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} using only [[rental Pokémon]], nearly at the end of the challenge, he noticed something suspicious about a '''{{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}''' so he decided to steal him from the facility and kept him afterward, it is later is revealed that the Sceptile was supposed to be his in the first place, making him his "starter Pokémon". He evolved from his {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care. Except for Sceptile, the first Pokémon he captured were [[Sudowoodo]] and [[Dusclops]].
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his {{adv|Lax|Munchlax}}, and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Platinum because of a misunderstanding. He has since evolved to '''{{p|Torterra}}''' alongside the others.

Initially, he was nicknamed "Tep", but the nickname was changed to "Nite" and eventually "Bo", making Black the only main character so far to change his Pokémon's nickname.
* {{adv|White}}'s first Pokémon was a Tepig named [[Gigi]]. She later acquires her "starter Pokémon", a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], much like {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{GnB|Gold}} is offered the choice of one of the three [[Johto]] starter Pokémon – {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} – to borrow so that he may run an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also, like in the games, {{GnB|Black}}, who is based on {{ga|Silver}}, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his starter Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his starter instead.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* The only two Starter Pokémon that are dual-type in their initial form, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.

===In the games===
* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s starter Pokémon are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]: [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]]'s, and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]]'s.
** The {{p|Charmander}} line also appears alone in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar]] regional Pokédex, while the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines appear in the [[Isle of Armor]] regional Pokédex.
* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}}, or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. Starting in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the starters also have an attacking move of their type at level 5.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type starters have {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type starters have {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The lowest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Torterra}}'s {{stat|Speed}}, at 56. The highest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Primarina}}'s {{stat|Special Attack}}, at 126.
* The Pikachu featured in Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and the Eevee in Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee! are the only starter Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which they are starter Pokémon.
** Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s respective starters are also the only ones that cannot be traded to other games.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle (where one type deals 2× damage to and receives ½× damage from another type), only being broken by the Dark type being completely immune to rather than resistant to the Psychic type.
** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.
* It is stated in its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry that {{p|Poipole}} is a common starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis]].
* No fully evolved Grass-type starter Pokémon has a higher base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Contrarily, no unevolved Grass-type starter Pokémon besides {{p|Chespin}} has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Similarly, no unevolved Fire-type starter has a higher base stat total than either its counterparts and no fully evolved Fire-type starter besides {{p|Blaziken}} has a lower one.
* As of [[Generation VIII]], the only set of starters without secondary types in any of their final evolutions are the [[Johto]] starters and the [[Galar]] starters.
** By contrast, the [[Sinnoh]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] starters have a secondary type present in all of their final evolution.
* All fully-evolved Water-type starters can learn the HM moves {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Waterfall}}.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but one of the Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type starter from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}.
* Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], and Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully-evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type starter that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.
* The Kanto starters are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and a {{TP|May|Wartortle}}, while Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.
* The Johto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where none of the members were previously owned by another Trainer or a Pokémon Professor.
** Conversely, the Kanto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous Trainer (excluding Professors).

Walking Pokémon

2020-08-11T01:05:40Z

Herowho:

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot will follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]].

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have a walking Pokémon, including [[Snowy]], [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Sandy]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], and [[Kiawe's Marowak]]. Ash himself gets two more walking Pokémon: {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack; and the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] is another walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as it usually stays out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually lets it stay outside its Poké Ball.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

Walking Pokémon

2020-08-11T00:55:35Z

Herowho:

[[File:LGPE Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] illustrating the concept]]
'''Walking Pokémon''' are Pokémon that walk alongside their {{pkmn|Trainer}} when they normally would be inside their [[Poké Ball]]s outside of battle.

A walking Pokémon will follow behind its Trainer much like [[Stat Trainers|partner Trainers]] do, and can be interacted with if the player turns back and talks to them. The first game that this appeared in was {{game|Yellow}} on the [[Game Boy]]. This feature also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and to a greater extent {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Walking and ridable Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Pokémon walking alongside Trainers has appeared many times in the anime series as well as the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|{{p|Pikachu}} following the {{player}}]]
In {{game|Yellow}}, when the player runs into [[Professor Oak]] at the entrance of [[Pallet Town]], a [[wild Pokémon|wild Pikachu]] appears and attacks Oak, and Oak is forced to capture it to keep the player out of danger. Back in the lab, {{ga|Blue}} will obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, the Pokémon originally intended for the player. Professor Oak will then give the player the {{p|Pikachu}} he caught. Pikachu refuses to stay in its Poké Ball and insists on following the player around.

By turning around and talking to the Pikachu, the player can learn how it feels and thinks about the player. At the beginning of the game, Pikachu is unhappy to be stuck with the player as a Trainer. By using it in lots of battles and keeping it healthy, however, it will change its attitude towards the player. Pikachu displays a variety of expressions, from anger to shock to fear to love, as it reacts to the player and its surroundings. If Pikachu is traded to another game, evolved, and traded back, it will no longer follow the player.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|frame|left|Pikachu's status screen]]
Pikachu has many expressions, and some events will trigger certain expressions. For example, when it first meets the player, Pikachu is not happy to see the player, and will sometimes turn its back towards them. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of Pikachu's current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. Further on in the game, Pikachu will begin to like the player, and smile at them. When Pikachu enters the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], it will fall in love with a {{p|Clefairy}}, changing its expression again. When first going into the [[Sea Cottage]], [[Bill]] was experimenting with his cellular teleportation device when he was accidentally turned into a {{p|Clefairy}}. Pikachu will run to him and exchange confused looks. After he is rescued, and transported back to his original self, Pikachu will have a look of shock. Pikachu will also change its expression when it is inflicted with a [[status condition]], such as poison, where Pikachu will feel sick, or under sleep conditions, where Pikachu will be asleep. In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|sing}} a lullaby if talked to, and Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleep if talked to. When entering the [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will feel scared and shudder fearfully. If the player uses a fishing rod, then checks Pikachu, it will appear with a bucket over its head. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other 'events' such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}, where it will shock the player. Also, if the player tries to use a [[Thunder Stone]] on it, it will shake its head in refusal.

If the player character jumps over a ledge and leaves Pikachu above it for a short while, Pikachu will start to dance.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square Pokémon following Pt.png|thumb|{{p|Infernape}} following the {{player}}]]
Amity Square, located on the north side of [[Hearthome City]] in [[Sinnoh]], allows several select Pokémon to follow the player around within its borders. An expansion on the concept introduced in Yellow, Amity Square allows the player's Pokémon to pick up [[Accessory|Accessories]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] and [[Berry|Berries]], which vary depending on which Pokémon is allowed in.

Only 11 of the 493 Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Buneary}}, and {{p|Happiny}}. These Pokémon typically have some appearance elsewhere in Sinnoh, or are regarded as popular Pokémon in the franchise; most have somewhat of a mascot status due to appearing under the ownership of a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

In {{game|Platinum}}, nine additional Pokémon are allowed into Amity Square: the Sinnoh region's [[starter Pokémon]] and their evolutions. In addition, Amity Square itself has been redesigned and expanded.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
[[File:HGSS Walking Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|Art from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{incomplete|needs=List of accessories by location}}
[[File:Baoba.png|thumb|left|{{Shiny|Shininess}} is maintained in the overworld sprites.]]
Walking Pokémon return to their former prominence in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, being able to walk with players throughout the entire game.

Though the fact that the starter Pokémon is the first Pokémon that this is allowed for mimics {{game|Yellow}} in a way, unlike Yellow, the starter is not the only one able to follow, and any Pokémon obtained by the player can be in this position provided it is the first in the [[party]].

If a walking Pokémon knows a move that can be used on the field, such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Headbutt}}, and the correct Badge has been earned (for HM moves), it will be shown to use the move in the overworld when the player comes upon its respective obstacle. When sent into battle, like Red's Pikachu, it will appear from the side rather than from a Poké Ball. Also, when the walking Pokémon faints, the next Pokémon in the party takes its place as the walking Pokémon.

There are few instances wherein the first Pokémon in the party will not follow players. For example, riding a [[bicycle]] will send the Pokémon back to its [[Poké Ball]]. This will also cause it to be sent out from its Poké Ball when a battle begins, instead of just appearing from the side. Certain locations, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]] and the [[Global Terminal]], also prohibit the walking Pokémon from following players. Large Pokémon, such as {{p|Wailord}}, will be sent back to their Poké Balls as well when entering most buildings, as they are too large.

Much like in other games, it is possible to interact with the Pokémon. Checking the Pokémon will cause a small image of its current mood to pop up, as in Yellow. Unlike in Yellow, however, the mood is restricted to the thought bubble above the Pokémon's head. The walking Pokémon will also sometimes interact with the overworld, such as an {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu|event Pichu}} becoming interested in [[Spiky-eared Pichu|a wild Pichu from the past]] in [[Ilex Forest]], or an event {{p|Arceus}} allowing players to obtain a member of the [[creation trio]] at level 1. Walking Pokémon will occasionally pick up [[accessory|accessories]], depending on the location it found the item. In some cases, the Pokémon will refuse to hand over the item it has picked up, and will remain angry at the player for a while after trying to take it. Certain Pokémon will react in a unique way if spoken to in a certain place. For example, speaking to a {{p|Sudowoodo}} on Route 36 will cause it to imitate a tree. When the player calls {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}, they will give information on which Pokémon will react to the player's current location.

Some Pokémon will react either happily or unhappily depending on the environment they're in. For example, Fire-type Pokémon react unhappily if they are forced to walk in water on a beach. The game then states that the Pokémon doesn't like to get wet feet. The game also states that Fire-type Pokémon will appear unhappy for some reason if they are forced to enter a rainy route. Grass-type Pokémon will react unhappily if they are in icy terrains, such as [[Ice Path]], or hotter places, such as [[Blackthorn Gym]].

Sometimes, the walking Pokémon will find a [[Shiny Leaf]], a very rare item, while they walk on certain [[routes]]. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. Once five Shiny Leaves are found, Lyra/Ethan will make a [[Leaf Crown]] out of the Shiny Leaves, which adds a star on the player's Trainer card.

====Non-player characters====
Certain [[non-player characters]] also let their Pokémon follow them around. {{p|Marill}} follows {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Lyra}} throughout the character's encounters with the player. [[Lance]] is accompanied by his {{p|Dragonite}} during his raid on the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. [[Magnus]] is followed by his faithful {{p|Poliwrath}} during his tour of the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. As a testament to his changed attitudes towards training his partners, {{ga|Silver}}'s stolen [[starter Pokémon]] is let out of its Poké Ball during their training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Notably, like the player's own walking Pokémon, those that are seen being sent into battle are correctly shown entering from the side of the screen rather than emerging from a Poké Ball.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
{{main|Humilau City}}
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, in the northwest of Humilau City, there is a house the player can visit. Inside is a {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} who has a {{p|Mienfoo}}. She will ask the player to walk her Mienfoo, and if the player accepts, the Mienfoo will follow the player entirely around the building in the manner of a walking Pokémon from the previous generations. If the player walks with Mienfoo until it is satisfied, the Socialite will give the player a {{i|Pearl}} as a reward. However, if they quit before Mienfoo is satisfied, she will not give them an item and they will be unable to walk Mienfoo until the next day.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
While the player themselves cannot walk with their own Pokémon, they are able to interact and play with multiple Pokémon found on the overworld. [[Hau]]'s [[Starter Pokémon]] is often seen outside its Poké Ball, and Hau will lead with it, using a special animation where it appears without being released from its ball, until it reaches its final evolutionary form. According to the [[Ultra Recon Squad]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Ultra Space]] typically do not keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as shown by Ultra Sun's {{tc|Ultra Forest Kartenvoy}}s. The Recon Squad take to using [[Beast Ball]]s after studying [[Alola]]n culture.

===Pokémon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
The ability for Pokémon from the player's party to follow the player around returned in this title. The player can ride certain larger Pokémon, including {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}. In addition, their {{ga|Partner Pokémon|partner}}, {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, can always be seen riding on their shoulder or head regardless of what Pokémon they have selected to follow them. In some cases, certain Pokémon will give distinct reactions to certain objects.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, after completing the third trial in the Master Dojo, the Pokémon in the player’s first party slot will follow them around the [[Isle of Armor]].

==In spin-off games==
[[File:Buddy Pokémon GO.png|thumb|150px|A Buddy Pokémon]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Buddy Pokémon}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can walk with one of their Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon in order to earn [[Candy]] for that Pokémon's evolutionary family.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup BW.png|thumb|250px|Piplup riding on Dawn's head]]
Several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} walk with their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the most obvious of which is [[Ash's Pikachu]]. On Ash's first day as a Trainer, Pikachu adamantly refused to go back into his Poké Ball after being sent out from it in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and afterward revealed to Ash that he did not like being inside the Ball. Although Ash insisted Pikachu to go inside for protection against the angry flock of {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu still did not. Pikachu has not been inside of his, or any, Poké Ball since then, with the exception of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where he was confined in one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s Mewtwo Balls.

[[Misty's Togepi]] is another Pokémon in the anime famous for never being [[recall]]ed to a Poké Ball, and even more notably, having never been seen to be in a Poké Ball at all. Ash found it as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', and it was cared for by {{an|Brock}} until it was stolen by {{TRT}}, subsequently hatching in {{an|Misty}}'s arms. It served as a companion to Pikachu throughout the series from its debut until Misty's departure, and was eventually {{pkmn2|released}} by Misty in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''. Some do not count it as a walking Pokémon due to the fact that it never had ''any'' Poké Ball, even though it acted like a [[caught Pokémon]].

[[Dawn's Piplup]] is also a walking Pokémon. Though he was seen more often inside his Poké Ball at the beginning of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', since ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', Dawn often carries him around in her arms. In some episodes, Piplup is shown to ride on either her head or her shoulder. Unlike Pikachu, Piplup has not indicated that he has ever had a problem with staying inside his Poké Ball, and he will be [[recall]]ed before being used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s so his entrance can be enhanced with the use of [[Ball Capsule]] and [[Seal]]s.

[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|thumb|left|250px|Axew riding in Iris's hair]]
[[Iris's Axew]] is another walking Pokémon, as instead of staying in a Poké Ball he enjoys staying in Iris's hair. When the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} first presented him to Iris he was seen in a basket without a Poké Ball around it.

[[Clemont's Dedenne]] is another walking Pokémon to {{ashfr|Ash's group}}, usually appearing in {{an|Bonnie}}'s bag. While Dedenne was officially caught by Clemont, he caught Dedenne on Bonnie's request and allows her to take care of it. Clemont even left Dedenne in Bonnie's possession while he returned to [[Lumiose Gym]] to train for his battle with Ash.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', all of Ash's classmates at the [[Pokémon School]] have a walking Pokémon, including [[Snowy]], [[Lana's Popplio]], [[Sandy]], [[Mallow's Tsareena]], [[Sophocles's Togedemaru]], and [[Kiawe's Marowak]]. Ash himself gets two more walking Pokémon: {{AP|Rowlet}}, who usually sleeps in his backpack; and the Ultra Beast {{AP|Poipole}}.

[[Goh's Raboot]] is another walking Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' as it usually stays out with [[Goh]]. Also, Ash himself gets another walking in his {{AP|Riolu}} as he usually lets it stay outside its Poké Ball.

Several of Team Rocket's Pokémon travel with them out of their Poké Ball. As a running gag, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] emerges from his Poké Ball frequently, without his Trainer's asking, and often at inappropriate times. Also, [[James's Chimecho]] and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} have often been outside of their Poké Balls.

{{MTR}} is the only walking Pokémon in the anime who does not have a Trainer while spending prolonged time with humans; as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are his teammates assigned to him by [[Giovanni]] rather than officially owning him. As seen several times in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and during ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', Poké Balls will draw Meowth inside for a capture attempt, showing that he is still a [[wild Pokémon]]. In his case, however, he attempts to break out immediately every time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In [[Galar]], Galarian Slowbro's appearance is due to Shellder biting its arm instead of its tail, causing a chemical reaction with the consumed Galarica spices within its body. The Shellder attached to its arm resembles the Shellder tail from its Kantonian counterpart but smaller with a purple tip shaped like a stinger and even lacks pupils. It has a slight color difference with purple spots on its forehead. Its mouth and paws are also purple, while its belly remains gray.

Galarian Slowbro are considered highly dangerous due to it indiscriminately attacking its surroundings; the reason for which is due to Shellder sometimes unconsciously biting down hard on its arm. While normally zoned out, its expression will quickly change when facing a strong opponent due to the stimulus jolt from its nervous system. Galarian Slowbro can move with speed that puts the quickest of known reflexes to shame in order to fire a liquid poison shot from Shellder's tip.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-slowbro/</ref>Slowbro releases the poison liquid by grabbing Shellder's tongue who launches it.

Galarian Slowbro is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Shell Side Arm}}.

[[File:Slowbro anime.png|thumb|250px|Slowbro in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', [[Professor Westwood V]]'s Slowbro evolved from a Slowpoke at {{an|Seafoam Island}}. It then defeated {{TRT}} with a powerful {{m|Mega Punch}} while they were trying to steal Westwood V's Pokémon.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', [[Lorelei|Prima]] owns a Slowbro. She first used it to help {{Ash}} get his {{AP|Charizard}} under control. She then used it as part of a lecture, during which it battled a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Machamp}} and defeated it.

In ''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'', a Slowbro evolved from a Slowpoke. Afterwards, it defeated Team Rocket with {{m|Confusion}} and then used the same attack to return a giant, gold Slowpoke statue that Team Rocket had attempted to steal.

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

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to {{wp|hermit crab}}s, though it is physically similar to {{wp|giant otter}}s, {{wp|giant salamander}}s, and {{wp|hippopotamus}}es. Slowbro's appearance may also be a reference to the mythical {{wp|sazae-oni}}, a magical sea demon of {{wp|Japanese folklore}} distinguished by its spiny "sazae" or "turban shaped" snail shell.

Its parasitic relationship with Shellder may be inspired by {{wp|leech}}es. Interestingly enough, Slowbro is known as the Hermit Crab Pokémon and many real-world parasites, including leeches, often target crabs.

Galarian Slowbro's Poison typing may be a reference to {{wp|cone snail}}s, which have cone-shaped shells and are highly venomous.

====Name origin====
Slowbro is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'' (short for ''brother''). It may just be used in a general sense, or it could refer to the brotherly/symbiotic relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}.

Yadoran may be taken to mean 宿らん (to not lodge/dwell). It may also reference 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}) or 宿主 ''yadonushi'' ([parasitic] host).

'''Avery''' (Japanese: '''セイボリー''' ''Savory'') is the [[rival]] character in [[The Isle of Armor]] in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield}}. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and is training to be a [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section}}
Avery comes from a long line of psychics who run the {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]] in [[Galar]]. However, he is considered by his family to be a disappointment due to lacking psychic skills like teleportation or telepathy for example. At some point, he obtained a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}. Because of the pressure, he developed a very proud personality that would levitate anymore who defeated him. This behavior lead to his Gym Trainer's status being revoked. During his desperation and depression, he discovered the [[Master Dojo]], through his partner Slowpoke, that would lead him to visit to the [[Isle of Armor]] in order to train under [[Mustard]] so he could improve on inheriting the position of Psychic-type Gym Leader.

He is first seen by the player at [[Wedgehurst]] Station, obtaining the [[Armor Pass]] needed to visit the Isle of Armor. Before he can get on the train, a Galarian Slowpoke appeared blocking the way, which resulted in Avery requiring the player to catch it. After complimenting on the player's capture of Galarian Slowpoke, he gets on the train for the Isle of Armor. He eventually reached his location and becomes a student at the Master Dojo. He initially caused friction with the other students, but he started to become more friendly through Mustard and his wife {{gal|Honey}}. Though he trained hard, he became lazy from the lack of a rival and motivation to improve himself.

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Avery's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Avery comes from a long-standing family of psychics. Each Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar has been from the same bloodline as Avery, and thus, Avery has been destined to bear the burden of Gym Leader since even before he was born. Ever since he was a child, Avery could freely move things with his mind but lacked other skills, such as teleportation or telepathy. This has caused the rest of his family to label him as a disappointment. Avery has a great deal of respect for Slowpoke, as they go about their business at their own pace, no matter what others say."
;Rare League Card
:"Avery has always been very proud and would levitate any opponent who dared defeat him. This behavior caused his status as a Gym Trainer to be revoked. During this time of despair and desperation, his Slowpoke found a flyer for the Master Dojo, leading to Avery's current circumstances. Avery caused friction with many of the other students initially, but the kindness of Honey and Mustard slowly helped him to mellow out and become more friendly. Recently he has been training hard with his now-evolved Slowbro to prove himself better than a certain new student at the dojo."

'''Misty's Psyduck''' (Japanese: '''カスミのコダック''' ''Kasumi's Koduck'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and the second she {{pkmn2|caught}} within the series, after {{TP|Misty|Horsea}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Misty and Psyduck.png|thumb|left|250px|Psyduck and Misty]]
In ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', the Pokémon of [[HopHopHop Town]] had been turned listless by the {{t|Psychic}} waves produced by a {{p|Hypno}}. When a {{p|Drowzee}} nullified the waves, the Pokémon were cured, with the exception of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Psyduck}} that [[Nurse Joy]] had been looking after due to a chronic {{wp|headache}}. {{an|Brock}} wanted to impress her, so he promised to take care of the Duck Pokémon.

Later, it was discovered that Psyduck had a permanent headache. Not wanting the continuously ailing Pokémon, Brock ended up passing it off to Misty because she is a {{type|Water}} specialist. Misty tried to avoid the little thing, but she ended up capturing it by accident when she dropped a {{i|Poké Ball}} that subsequently rolled towards Psyduck. Psyduck tapped the Ball's control with its bill twice and essentially {{pkmn2|caught}} itself.

Out of all of Misty's early Pokémon, Psyduck is arguably the one with the most personality. It was heavily featured, and appears in many episodes, although its appearances started to grow sparse during the [[Johto]] saga.

Psyduck does not like to stay in its Poké Ball, and will usually pop out according to its mood. This personality trait has come in handy quite a bit - when Misty or her other Pokémon are captured, it is usually Psyduck who escapes and runs to get help. However, it also tends to frustrate Misty, as it results in Psyduck sometimes emerging for a {{pkmn|battle}} when Misty would prefer to use another Pokémon (although in these cases Psyduck generally manages to win thanks to its Psychic [[Move|attacks]]).

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Misty mistakenly used it during the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. It managed to defeat [[Jessie]]'s newly-acquired {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}, who had easily defeated the rest of Misty's temporary team of {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. This made Misty the winner of the competition and earned her a [[Pokémon doll]] collection as a prize.

When film producer [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] wanted to cast a movie with only Pokémon in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', Psyduck ended up becoming the costar to Schpielbunk's Wigglytuff, since it was the only Pokémon willing to put up with Wigglytuff's attitude due to its own stupidity. Despite this, Psyduck apparently impressed Wigglytuff with its Psychic abilities after it saved the other Pokémon in the film from being captured by Team Rocket.

=====Orange Islands=====
In ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', Misty's Psyduck seemed to have gotten separated from the group. Later on, a girl named {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} arrived with a lost Psyduck. Misty assumed it was hers and noticed that its tail was glowing bright pink, which Marina pointed out that Psyduck would [[Evolution|evolve]] soon. Misty and Marina had a {{pkmn|battle}}, during which Ash tossed Misty her bag. It landed in the water, and when Misty retrieved it, she found a {{p|Golduck}}. Thinking her Psyduck evolved, she battled with Golduck, winning the match against Marina. Even when {{TRT}} barged in to steal Marina's Pokémon, Golduck easily rescued them. However, when Misty attempted to recall Golduck, her Psyduck popped out instead, revealing that the Golduck was a {{pkmn2|wild}} one and that her Psyduck never even left the Poké Ball.

Misty cleverly used Psyduck in battle in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''. As {{MTR}} was about to attack, she recalled {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and sent out Psyduck. Meowth angrily bit Psyduck's head, which caused Psyduck to have a severe headache, allowing it to use its psychic powers and defeat him.

=====Johto=====
In ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]'', Psyduck was entered into the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]] with Ash, alongside his Pikachu and Squirtle, as well as Staryu. The group competed against a team of {{p|Muk}} to see who can put out a fire the fastest. Squirtle and Staryu used dual Water Guns on the fire while Pikachu kicked dirt at it. Things were going well until Psyduck got in the way and ended up getting thrown into the fire. Squirtle rescued it, but the loss in time cost them the match.

In ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Misty was going to use {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} to battle against Ash and his {{AP|Kingler}} in the [[Whirl Cup]], but Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball instead. Kingler used its {{m|Vise Grip}} on Psyduck, which caused it to get a headache. Misty then had Psyduck use Confusion, which sent Kingler flying and knocked it out, making Misty the winner.

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty was having a battle with [[Dorian]], the Gym Leader of the unofficial {{DL|Gym|Coastline Gym}}. Psyduck watched Misty battle him until [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] showed up and captured Misty and Dorian. Psyduck then became angry and determined, unlike the usual attitude it displayed, and wanted to battle Team Rocket. {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Bite}} on Psyduck which caused it to get a headache, allowing it to use its Confusion attack. Psyduck then learned Psychic and used it to blast Team Rocket off. Afterwards Dorian was amazed by Psyduck's power and complimented on it, saying Misty easily would have won the battle if she had used Psyduck. Psyduck, however, only seemed confused by the compliment.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====
In ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'', Psyduck accidentally came out of its Poké Ball alongside {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}, who was sent out to calm down a rampaging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. Upon coming out Psyduck falls into the pool and starts to drown. Before it drowns though Gyarados headbutts it out.

In ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', Misty and {{Tracey}} tried to teach Psyduck how to swim. Their efforts proved to be unsuccessful as Psyduck freaks out whenever it touches the water, and they stopped when [[Sakura]] appeared. It later attempted to battle [[Kinso]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}}, but was scared off immediately. Soon after, Misty and Tracey resumed their attempts at teaching Psyduck to swim, but the two were interrupted when Kinso informed Misty that [[Gym Badge thieves|thieves]] stole all of the Badges. Psyduck eventually battled and defeated the thieves' Pokémon alongside [[Sakura's Espeon]], doing so when it got a headache mid-battle and activated its Psychic powers.

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====
In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Psyduck greeted Misty upon her return to the Gym. It was later used in a battle against {{an|Lana}}'s {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} and {{an|Mallow}}'s {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}. Steenee started the battle with {{m|Magical Leaf}} while Popplio quickly followed with {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Psyduck then showed its improved battling abilities, firing a now-mastered {{m|Water Gun}}. Popplio, however, created a balloon to absorb the attack, then launched the water-filled balloon at Psyduck, trapping it inside. Misty commanded Psyduck to use Confusion, but it didn't respond. Steenee then attacked with another Magical Leaf, breaking the balloon and causing Psyduck to land on its head, giving it a headache. This allowed Psyduck to successfully use Confusion, but before it could do anything more to its opponents, Misty told Psyduck to put Popplio and Steenee down, saying that they had had enough.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Psyduck accompanied Misty to [[Alola]]. It let itself out of its Poké Ball while at [[Anela]]'s stand and ended up swallowing a whole watermelon.

===Personality and characteristics===
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Psyduck}}
Misty's Psyduck can easily be described as dimwitted and absent-minded. When it pops out of its Poké Ball, it often doesn't know how it got there. It is perpetually confused, and even when it summons powerful moves, it appears confused about how it pulled such a feat off. Its motivation for jumping out of its Poké Ball remains unknown, as it clearly does not enjoy or excel at battling. Even in the episode ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', it pushed Ash aside, wild with anger at Team Rocket's abduction of Misty (she had been captured saving him) and insisting on battling. However, after a few seconds, it completely forgot what it was doing and went back to looking confused.
[[File:Misty yelling at Psyduck.png|thumb|left|250px|Misty yelling at Psyduck]]
Psyduck cannot swim, which is unusual for its species. In deep water, it will panic and flail about, like a non-swimmer afraid of drowning. On one occasion, it was given a lifebelt for it to enjoy the water. It also has trouble in battle. It knows several powerful {{type|Psychic}} techniques, but can only use them when its headache is severe. When Psyduck battled [[Tyra]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Misty considered trying to boost its power by slamming a [[Bicycle|bike]] onto its head.

Psyduck seems to truly love and care for Misty. Despite its faults, it always tries to be there for her, whether she likes it or not. Misty constantly complains about Psyduck's faults and how its dopey look gives her a headache, but many suspect that she actually deeply cares for Psyduck - she has never considered releasing it (though she tried trading it for Brock's Vulpix in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''), though it has been suggested several times; she instantly shoots down such ideas, such as when [[Koga]] and {{an|Aya}} both offered a [[trade]] with her. Her antagonistic relationship with it is often compared to her relationship with {{Ash}}. It could also be compared with [[Jessie]]'s relationship with her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. [[James]] once stated that Wobbuffet made Psyduck look good in comparison. Since ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Misty's relationship with Psyduck has improved, as shown by her enthusiastically greeting Psyduck upon her return to the Gym.

For comic purposes, Misty seems to go to the limit of violence with Psyduck, such as when she suggested she smash a bike on Psyduck's head in order to activate its psychic powers. Psyduck is quite unconcerned to these threats of violence, perhaps because it knows how Misty truly feels. As shown in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', it also has a big appetite, which was shown when it swallowed a whole watermelon, and also when it ate the food that {{an|Brock}} had cooked for himself, Misty, and Ash. This was seen again in [[SM103|the next episode]], where it wanted some of Misty's ice cream. Misty offered it some of the ice cream, only for Psyduck to eat the whole ice cream cone.

'''Jessie's Seviper''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのハブネーク''' ''Musashi's Habunake'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] during her travels through [[Hoenn]], and her fifth overall.

==History==
==={{series|Advanced Generation}}===
====Hoenn====
[[File:Jessie and Seviper.png|thumb|left|200px|Seviper and Jessie]]
Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".

Seviper is Jessie's primary [[Pokémon battle|battling]] Pokémon, often seen battling alongside [[James's Cacnea]] in [[Hoenn]] and later [[James's Carnivine]] in [[Sinnoh]]. While shown to be fairly powerful before being caught by Jessie, after it fell into her command, it suffered the inevitable fate that all Team Rocket Pokémon face- defeat by {{Ash}} or another protagonist.

Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s Contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the Contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the Contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper.

In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', Seviper and Cacnea fought against [[Tabitha]]'s {{p|Mightyena}}. Jessie commanded Seviper to use Poison Tail while James had Cacnea use {{m|Pin Missile}}, but Mightyena proved too powerful for the two and sent them flying back.

In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose!]]'', Seviper was send out in an attempt to capture Pikachu. However, Seviper noticed [[Nicholai]]'s {{p|Zangoose}} and the two of them start to fight, ignoring everyone else around them. They both fall into a river and Seviper knocks Zangoose unconscious with its Poison Tail. Just as Seviper is about to finish Zangoose off, Ash sends out {{AP|Corphish}}. Corphish uses {{m|Bubble Beam}} to attack Seviper, allowing Zangoose to escape. Team Rocket later uses a machine to amplify Seviper's voice to draw Zangoose to them. Seviper and Zangoose continue their fight while everyone else fights over Pikachu. Zangoose ends up beating Seviper this time and Team Rocket is sent blasting off. Throughout this episode, both James and Meowth were shown to be quite scared of Seviper. For example James called Seviper a "legless loser" but after a threatening look from Seviper, James quickly retracted his statement and began to apologise.

In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Seviper was used in a [[Double Battle]] along with [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]] against [[Oscar and Andi]] and their {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Seviper ends up using Wrap on Cacnea, which causes Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks, sending {{TRT}} flying. Team Rocket later encounters Ash and May and agree to do a tag battle with them, with Ash using {{AP|Corphish}} and May using [[May's Skitty|Skitty]]. Cacnea and Corphish end up working well together and begin to get an advantage over Seviper and Skitty. Jessie soon sends out {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to help win and the battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Meowth then takes the opportunity to try to capture Pikachu and has Seviper and Cacnea use Haze and {{m|Sandstorm}}. Fortunately, Pikachu is rescued and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', Seviper was used to battle against [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and her {{TP|Lucy|Seviper}}. [[Barbara]] points out that Jessie's Seviper is weaker than Lucys, which infuriates Jessie and Seviper. Both Sevipers collide with their Poison Tails and true to Barbara's word, Lucy's Seviper's Poison Tail is more powerful and sends Jessie's Seviper flying. Lucy's Seviper finished it off with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, blasting Team Rocket off.

==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Jessilina and Seviper.png|thumb|230px|Seviper and Jessilina]]
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Jessilina used Seviper in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Floaroma}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. Not much of the appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s appeal, focusing the attention on her, not on Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. The appeal ends with Jessie ordering Seviper to perform Wrap and Bite on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.

In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Jessilina decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to practice for the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and Dustox and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use Poison Tail on Dustox's Poison Sting, making it spin and adding extra-power to it. {{an|Brock}} even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination go to the other side. [[Zoey's Shellos]] then used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of Poison Sting and Poison Tail. Seviper and Dustox were then both easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.

In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'', Seviper was used along with Dustox in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest. They were briefly seen battling against [[Nando's Kricketune]] and {{TP|Nando|Roselia}} in the semifinals. The battle ended after Roselia and Kricketune used {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{m|X-Scissor}}, respectively, to deplete their points.

In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', Seviper battled [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Granbull}}. In the midst of the battle, it was taken out by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and a wild {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}}.

In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', Seviper was sent out alongside Team Rocket and {{an|Barry}}'s Pokémon to confront [[Team Galactic]], only for it to get hit by {{p|Golbat}}'s {{m|Air Cutter}}.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Seviper was Jessilina's choice for the second round of the {{to|Sandalstraw}} Contest. It battled a {{p|Gastrodon}} in the first match and managed to win by using its Wrap attack, reaching the semifinals. There, it went up against [[Dawn's Ambipom]]. Despite putting up a good fight, it was eventually defeated, resulting in Jessilina's elimination from the event.

Since Jessie has caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. It was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in Haze, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon under the shrouded premises.

[[File:Seviper Carnivine Daybreak Contest.png|thumb|left|250px|At the Daybreak Contest with Carnivine]]
In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Jessie used Seviper in the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, which was held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. For the Performance Stage, Jessie had placed Seviper's {{i|Poké Ball}} inside {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s mouth. During their performance, Jessie played an {{p|Arbok}}-shaped flute, a cue for Seviper to pop out of its Poké Ball and join Carnivine on stage. After that, the two Pokémon were able to impress the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] with their synchronized moves, securing Jessie a place in the Battle Stage.

In ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore]]'', Seviper battled alongside Yanmega against [[Ursula]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} in the Battle Stage of the Daybreak Contest. Seviper and Yanmega were able to combine their attacks well, creating a Haze-Sonic Boom and Poison-Silver Wind. However, Plusle and Minun managed to defeat them using their {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} attacks, knocking Jessie out of the competition.

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Jessie used it for the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Contest, where it was used for the Performance Stage, aiding her win her fourth [[Ribbon]]. In ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', Jessie used Seviper during the Battle Stage of the [[Arrowroot Town]] Contest, where it battled [[Princess Salvia|Salvia]]'s {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}}. After a fierce battle it lost, but Salvia gave Jessie the [[a:File:Arrowroot Ribbon.png|Arrowroot Ribbon]] for the performance she gave during their battle, allowing her to enter the [[Grand Festival]].

Jessie used Seviper multiple times during her campaign to become a [[Top Coordinator]] at the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], including the Performance Stage, in which Seviper performed alongside Yanmega and impressed special guest judge [[Fantina]]. Seviper was also used in the Battle Stage, battling alongside {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} once and facing off against [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} along wit {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the semifinals. However, Jessie lost her semifinal battle to {{an|Dawn}}.

Seviper made its final appearance in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', where it battled Ash and his friends for the final time, but got knocked by {{AP|Torterra}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}} before getting blasted off with the rest of the team.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Seviper at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and thus would attract unwanted attention to the trio.

==Personality and characteristics==
From its debut Jessie's Seviper was shown to have a passion for battling. It quickly became Jessie's main battling Pokémon. It was also proven to be intelligent, outsmarting Team Rocket and not falling for their trap. It was also shown to be a mean and nasty Pokémon, which was why Jessie desired to catch it. Even though Seviper has been shown to care for Jessie, it did not hesitate from ignoring orders upon encountering wild Zangoose, a trait of most Seviper.

Ever since Jessie caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. However, it was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in Haze, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon or other things under the shrouded premises.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[DP023|Faced with Steelix Determination!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Jessie's Seviper. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: あかいキバ　わわるとアブネー　ハブネーク ''The red fangs, it's dangerous to touch them; Habunake''.
*In Jessie's first encounter with Seviper, she was taller than Seviper. However, in more recent episodes, Seviper is much taller than her. This could be an error on the animator's part, or could just simply mean it has grown during its time under Jessie's ownership.
* In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub, rather uniquely, some of the noises made by Satō are retained along with Sinterniklaas's voice. When {{TPCi}} took over the dub, they stopped retaining Satō's voice.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation VII]], and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible. At an unknown point in time, Lance, either as an Elite Four member or Champion, had a battle with [[Professor Kukui]], which he apparently won.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} [[HM]] for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

Lance also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]s. In Stadium, he is the final member of the Elite Four, and in Stadium 2, he is the final Trainer in the Johto Gym Leader Castle, and must be defeated in order to gain access to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Notably, Stadium is the only game to date where Lance isn't seen using his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.

* Before battle
:''"Ah! I heard about you, <{{player}}>! I lead the <sc>Elite Four</sc>! You can call me <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon trainer! You know that dragons are mythical <sc>Pokémon</sc>! They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior! They’re virtually indestructible! Well, are you ready to lose? Your <sc>League</sc> challenge ends with me, <player>!"''

* Being defeated
:''"That’s it! I hate to admit it, but you are a <sc>Pokémon</sc> master!"''

* After being defeated
:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>! You’re now the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! His name is… <[[rival]]>! He beat the <sc>Elite Four</sc> before you. He is the real <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion!"''

;[[Lake of Rage]]
* After battling the [[red Gyarados]]
:''"This lake is full of <sc>{{p|Gyarados}}</sc> but nothing else… So the <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve… Did you come here because of the rumors? You're <player>? I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.
::'''No''': ''"Oh… Well, if you change your mind, please help me."''

*If talked to again after answering no

;[[Mahogany Town]]
*After answering yes at Lake of Rage
:''"<sc>{{p|Dragonite}}</sc>, <sc>{{m|Hyper Beam}}</sc>."''
:''"What took you, <player>? Just as I thought, that strange radio signal is coming from here."''

:''"It takes two passwords to get into the [[Petrel|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''

*After entering the generator room
:''"Hey! Don't be so selfish. Spread the fun around."''

*After defeating Ariana
:''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''

*If player tries to leave their side
:''"Leave this side to me."''

*After defeating all Electrode
:''"That odd signal has finally stopped. The <sc>Lake</sc> should be back to normal. You're the hero! Let me thank you on behalf of all the <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Oh, yes. You should take this. I found it here, but I don't have any need for it. That's <sc>{{m|Whirlpool}}</sc>. Teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> to get across wild water. But keep this in mind. You can use that out of battle only with the <sc>Badge</sc> from <sc>[[Mahogany Gym]]</sc>. <player>… The journey to becoming the <sc>Pokémon Master</sc> is long and difficult. Knowing that, will you keep going? … I see. No, you're right. If you would give up that easily, you would have never chased that dream in the first place. I look forward to seeing you again!"''

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"I’ve been waiting for you. <Player>! I knew that you, with your skills, would eventually reach me here. There's no need for words now. We will battle to determine who is the stronger of the two of us. As the most powerful trainer and as the <sc>Pokémon League Champion</sc>… I, <sc>Lance</sc> the dragon master, accept your challenge!"''

* Being defeated
:''"…It's over. But it's an odd feeling. I’m not angry that I lost. In fact, I feel happy. Happy that I witnessed the rise of a great new <sc>Champion</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"…Whew. You have become truly powerful, <player>. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> have responded to your strong and upstanding nature. As a trainer, you will continue to grow strong with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>."''
:''"This is getting to be a bit too noisy… <Player>, could you come with me?"''

If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the Lake of Rage's <sc>{{p|Magikarp}}</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from Mahogany is probably the cause. And that suspicious souvenir shop… I'll be waiting for you in Mahogany, <player>."''

* Before Multi Battle with the player

* After defeating all Electrode

;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"So, you're <player>! I lead the Elite Four! You can call me Lance, the dragon Trainer! You likely know that dragons are Pokémon spoken of in legends!

Your Pokémon League challenge ends with me, <player>!"''

* Being defeated
:''"That's it! I hate to admit it, but you are a first-class Pokémon Trainer!"''

;[[Rematch]]

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|250px|thumb|Lance in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
Lance is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is also a member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] detective organization.

Lance debuted in a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He later physically debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was sent to investigate [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]]. He met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there, saving the trio from some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Lance went on to infiltrate Team Rocket's base, and stole a Grunt uniform to remain undiscovered. He went on to learn that Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash and his friends were later captured by [[Professor Sebastian]] and Tyson after they tried to intervene in their plans. Lance remained undetected, joining Team Rocket's convoy and helping them transport the Red Gyarados away from the Lake of Rage.

In ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', Lance helped Ash's group escape and defeated the [[Team Rocket trio]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Lance was then able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} and defeated his two {{p|Fearow}}. Meanwhile, Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance used his Dragonite to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Gyarados and he then {{pkmn2|caught}} it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. [[Clair]] informed Ash and his friends that Lance had previously trained for several months at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] in order to perfect his experience with {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon.

====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Lance helped stop the rampage of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon AG)|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated [[Team Magma]]'s submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the [[Red Orb]] that controls Groudon. Lance's Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.

=====[[New series]]=====
Lance will reappear in [[SS012]].

====Character====
Lance cares deeply for his Pokémon, and he regards them as friends. He takes his role as a part of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] seriously and maintains his conviction towards keeping the {{pkmn|world}} at peace. Lance often disguises himself to infiltrate evil organizations in order to gain valuable information before leaping into action.

Lance is largely independent, but still receives assistance from allies like [[Officer Jenny]]. He quickly befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after realizing that they were also concerned for [[Red Gyarados]]'s safety. He then enlisted their assistance to deal with [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Lake of Rage]] crisis. Lance was surprised to re-encounter Ash and the others in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and worked with them to disrupt [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s plans in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
====History====
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Pupitar (which Silver promptly returned, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.

====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

====Character====
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.

Dragonair's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Bubble Beam}}, and {{m|Slam}}.}}

Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on.

'''Malamar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラマネロ''' ''Calamanero'') was a [[recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character]] in the {{series|XY}} that plotted to rule the {{pkmn|world}}.

==History==
[[File:Officer Jenny Malamar.png|thumb|left|250px|Malamar and Madame X]]
{{p|Malamar}} first appeared in ''[[XY019|A Conspiracy to Conquer!]]''. Prior to the episode, Malamar set up its hideout at a radio observatory near [[Camphrier Town]]. It also {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} an [[Officer Jenny]] who was investigating a nearby radio observatory, turning her into "Madame X". Together, they confronted {{TRT}} and hypnotized them, but {{MTR}} {{m|Fury Swipes|scratched}} his own face, which prevented him from getting hypnotized, and later informed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. With [[Jessie]], [[James]], and their Pokémon in tow, Malamar located Ash's group by a tree. It then kidnapped {{AP|Pikachu}}, hoping to use his power to lead its Pokémon army, the Pokémon Patrol, and aid it in its plans for {{pkmn|world}} domination.

By the time Ash, his friends, and Meowth arrived in the observation chamber of the radio observatory, Malamar took control of {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. However, the [[Clemontic Gear|Automatic Pikachu Retrieving Device]] that Clemont built earlier entered the observatory and crashed into Malamar, breaking its control over everyone it had hypnotized. Malamar subsequently revealed that it had tricked them into believing that Madame X was controlling it, while it built a weapon to reconstruct the world. Malamar led the group to its "grand design" room, and destroyed it before fleeing.

[[File:Malamar XY054.png|thumb|250px|left|Malamar with its two fellow Malamar]]
Malamar reappeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', where it recruited two other Malamar in a plan to distort the world using energy crystals. Malamar and the other two hypnotized the top {{tc|Scientist}}s of [[Kalos]] to build the energy crystals, and later transported them to [[Grace Tower]]. When Team Rocket went to the top of Grace Tower, the Malamar trio spotted them after {{TP|James|Inkay}} became furious at the first Malamar for what it did to them earlier. Team Rocket encountered Ash's group and the Officer Jenny from the radio observatory, and they attempted to carry out a plan to disrupt Malamar's scheme.

Later, the three Malamar used {{m|Psychic}} to immobilize all but Clemont, Meowth, James, and Inkay. The four worked together with a horde of other Inkay and Malamar to defeat the trio of rogue Malamar. The crystals were then deactivated by [[Officer Jenny's Manectric]]. Despite this, all of the crystals combined into one and the three Malamar went inside them and escaped. Before they left, they claimed they were heading into the future, but swore they would return to fight once more and that their plan would succeed someday.

==Personality and characteristics==
Unlike most Pokémon, Malamar is a cruel and evil Pokémon with a mysterious and dark past. Despite its surprisingly ambitious plans of world domination, it is aware of its limits and surrounds itself with others to avoid direct confrontation. Manipulation and deceit are key to Malamar's plans: [[Officer Jenny]] was used as a mouthpiece, while [[Jessie]] and [[James]] provided Malamar with crucial insight.

It enjoys control, using {{m|Hypnosis}} to manipulate a person or Pokémon's mind and {{m|Psychic}} to physically move its pawns around. Despite its overwhelming powers and menacing persona, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with a strong bond with their Pokémon, such as {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} or James and {{TP|James|Inkay}}, are able to break free of Malamar's hypnotic control, or by inflicting pain on themselves as seen in {{MTR}}'s case.

'''Howard Clifford''' (Japanese: '''ハワード''' ''Howard'') is one of the main characters of ''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)|Pokémon Detective Pikachu]]'' and its major antagonist. He is the founder of [[Ryme City]] and father of [[Roger Clifford]].

==History==
As a wheelchair-bound man, Howard not only wished to cure his own disability, but also to [[evolution|evolve]] all of humanity to its fullest potential like Pokémon could. To this end, he recruited detective [[Harry Goodman]] to track and capture {{OBP|Mewtwo|Detective Pikachu}} and hired [[Dr. Ann Laurent]] to produce the R substance, which can be used with Mewtwo's psychic ability to merge humans and Pokémon. However, his plan was thwarted after Harry learned of this and rescued Mewtwo. Howard sent his genetically-modified {{p|Greninja}} to chase after Harry's car and caused it to crash, seemingly killing him. However, Howard deduced that Harry was still alive and his {{p|Pikachu}} was the key to finding Mewtwo, so he sent his assistant [[Ms. Norman]] into the city to find it. When Ms. Norman brought [[Tim Goodman]] and {{OBP|Detective Pikachu|character}} back to him, Howard pretended that his own son [[Roger Clifford|Roger]] was the mastermind who hired Harry to capture Mewtwo, and convinced Tim that he would be able to find his father if he could track Mewtwo.

After Ms. Norman successfully secured Mewtwo, Howard revealed his plan to Tim; that he had secretly filled Ryme City's parade balloons with the R substance. After using a neural link to transfer his mind into Mewtwo, Howard used his new-found psychic ability to merge all humans in the city into their Pokémon. When he discovered that Detective Pikachu was trying to stop his plan, Howard chased after him, which resulted in Pikachu's apparent defeat. When Howard returned to his office to dispose of Tim, Howard was hit by Detective Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and crashed into his building's lower floors. An angry Howard emerged and tried to choke Pikachu to death, but Pikachu revealed that he bought enough time for Tim to break his neural link, forcing Howard back to his own body.

A defeated Howard was seen arrested by the police afterwards.

'''Ilima''' (Japanese: '''イリマ''' ''Ilima'') is the [[Trial Captain]] of [[Melemele Island]]'s [[Verdant Cavern]]. He [[type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Ilima is a graduate of the {{al|Trainers' School}} on {{rt|1|Alola}} and is admired as a hero by the students there. Some call him the "Prince of the Trainers' School". While he typically acts polite and dignified, he becomes a very different person in the midst of [[Pokémon battle]]s.

The {{player}} first meets Ilima alongside [[Professor Kukui]] in the Trainers' School after defeating the {{tc|Teacher}} there. He later appears at the Marina when two {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s disrupted his conversation with the player. After defeating the Grunts, he challenges the player to a battle.

Ilima later appears as the player's guide to their first trial in Verdant Cavern.

After clearing [[Hala]]'s grand trial{{sup/7|SM}}/becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}{{sup/7|USUM}}, the player can visit the second floor of his house in the [[Hau'oli City]] Shopping District, where Ilima is in his room. He says he is researching on Pokémon battling, and brings the player to the Trainers' School, where he battles the player.

In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Ilima can be fought at [[Hau'oli Cemetery]] during [[Mina]]'s trial to earn the [[Orange Petal]]. In addition, after the player has defeated him in a battle during the post-game, he will give the player [[Ilima's Normalium Z|a piece of Normalium Z]] to be delivered to Verdant Cavern for new trial-goers. When the player tries to place the Z-Crystal on the pedestal in Totem's Den, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of Verdant Cavern will challenge them to a [[rematch]]. After the Totem is defeated, the player can place the Z-Crystal on its proper place.

According to his mother, Ilima used to study in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] in the past.

===Pokémon===
Ilima's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

:''"I see! Then welcome, newcomer. I look forward to seeing the brilliance of your moves in my {{color|D00|trial}}."''
:''"Indeed! We captains are the ones who conduct the trials you will face on your way to challenging the island kahuna."''
:''"My trial is held in Verdant Cavern. The trial of Captain Ilima."''
:''"You can find Pokémon living everywhere, even in the patches of tall grass in Hau'oli City. Perhaps you'll want to fill out your team a bit before attempting my trial?"''
:''"I sincerely look forward to your challenge."''

;[[Hau'oli City]] Marina
:''"Greetings. It's me, Captain Ilima."''
:''"Oh! You, from the Trainers' School! Already made your way to Hau'oli, hmm?"''
:''"Oh my... How terrifying..."''
:''"Only thieves steal people's Pokémon. I won't stand for it. <Player>, wasn't it? I'll ask you to take care of that one. I'll get rid of this one.''"
:''"Again? Oh my... How terrifying..."''
:''"My thanks to you and your Pokémon. Why don't I heal your team to express my gratitude?"''
:''"I must admit, I've been wondering about you since I saw you at the Trainers' School... [[Professor Kukui]] brought you along, and you and your Pokémon seemed to defeat our teacher so effortlessly! Very well then! Allow me to see if you're ready for my trial!"''
::'''No''': ''"Well then! I'll wait until you are ready to take me on."''
::'''Yes''': ''"Behold the magnificent Pokémon of the one and only Captain Ilima!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Yes! You have emerged victorious!"''

* After being defeated
:''"You—or should I say you and your Pokémon— make quite the interesting team!"''
:''"I do hope you'll come to Verdant Cavern and attempt the trial—the {{color|F00|trial of Ilima}}! You can get there from Route 2... That [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Dex]] of yours will show you the way."''
:''"I bid you Alola!"''

;{{rt|2|Alola}}
:''"Greetings. Captain Ilima here."''
:''"And my trial..."''
:''"begins mere steps from here in Verdant Cavern!"''
:''"Note that the Pokémon living within Verdant Cavern are quite fierce. I wouldn't venture in unless you've prepared some [[Potion]]s and so forth. Through attempting the trials during the island challenge, one can exceed his or her own limits. ...That is what the Alolan people believe."''
:''"Once you enter Verdant Cavern, you will not be able to leave until you have completed the trial. Are you prepared for the trial?"''
::'''No''': ''"Please make your preparations. I'll be waiting for you!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I'll be waiting for you!"''

;[[Verdant Cavern]]
:''"Let me formally welcome you to Verdant Cavern! I am your captain, Ilima. Allow me to explain the basics of my trial."''
:''"What you should attempt to do is..."''
:''"Defeat three of the Pokémon that lurk here in their dens!"''
:''"Then reach the pedestal deep within the cave... and collect the {{color|F00|Z-Crystal}} there! You'll need to be completely in sync with your Pokémon to succeed."''
:''"Oh dear! And there's one more thing I forgot to mention."''
:''"Many strong Pokémon make their home in this cave, but one stronger and more fearsome than all the rest, known as a {{color|F00|Totem Pokémon}}, also resides here! It will be the greatest obstacle you face as you attempt to clear my trial!"''
:''"By the way, until you clear the trial, you will not be able to catch Pokémon in Verdant Cavern."''
:''"This is but one of the seven trials you will face during your island challenge."''
:''"And it begins now! The trial of Captain Ilima!"''

* If talked to again
:''"Yes, <player>? Would you like to give up so you can better prepare for my trial? Keep in mind you'll have to start from the beginning if you give up now, though!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I see. Unfortunately, I'll have to ask you to go make whatever preparations you may need to and then come back to try again."''
::'''No''': ''"Good! Then go and defeat the three Pokémon. Only then will you be able to claim the Z-Crystal waiting in the final chamber of the cave!"''

* If the player restarted the trial
:''"Yes, <player>? I take it you would like to attempt my trial again?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Very well, let the trial begin!"''
::'''No''': ''"I see. Unfortunately, I'll have to ask you to go make whatever preparations you may need to and then come back to try again."''

* After defeating Totem {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|M}}
:''"What an incredible Trainer you are!"''
:''"For you to be able to defeat the [[Totem Pokémon]] that I had trained up to such a powerful state... I don't know what I can say!"''
:''"Working in harmony with your Pokémon, you have cleared the trial of Ilima! You're a phenomenal Trainer! Congratulations, <player>! The Z-Crystal from the pedestal is yours now!"''
:''"What you have just received is the Normal Z-Crystal! It is known as {{color|F00|Normalium Z!}} Now if you let a Pokémon that can use a {{type|Normal}} [[move]] hold that..."''
:''"and strike an elegant pose like this one... then you will be able to strengthen a Normal-type move by unleashing Z-Power!"''
:''"Moving right along..."''
:''"Ah, yes. First, there is one thing I forgot to mention."''
:''"The Totem Pokémon! In every locale where a captain holds his or her trials, you will encounter a particularly strong Pokémon, like Gumshoos{{sup/7|S}}/Raticate{{sup/7|M}} just now. And during battles against such Pokémon, they may {{color|F00|summon allies}} to shore up their offense. It's not a tactic often seen in other [[region]]s. Perhaps Pokémon in Alola are simply more inclined to help one another?"''
:''"Since you have managed to defeat the Totem Pokémon and proved yourself, you can now try to catch any of the Pokémon you find here in this cave. In fact, have some Great Balls."''
:''"And here, let me see to your Pokémon after all of their hard work in there!"''
:''"If we're done here, I have something interesting I'd like to show you. Come with me to Route 3."''

;Route 2
:''"Greetings. Captain Ilima here. As you travel around the islands of Alola, you will find captains' barricades here and there. These barricades help mark areas where particularly strong Pokémon can be found. Anyone can pass through them, of course, if they are escorted by a strong Trainer. Those attempting the island challenge can pass the barricades, as long as they clear the trials. Are you ready? Then behold the power of a captain!"''
:''"Voila! Your world just got a little bigger."''
:''"I am the only captain here on [[Melemele Island]], meaning my trial is the only one here."''
:''"Now that you have cleared the trial, please inform our [[Island Kahuna|island kahuna]], [[Hala]]!"''
:''"Oh, so is that why you've been looking so ragged, Professor?"''
:''"I can go and have a look around the cave for you, in case she wandered that way."''

;[[Iki Town]]
:''"Congratulations, <player>. I hope you find your Ride Pager useful. I worked on developing it with a friend of mine."''
:''"{{tt|Aren't Z-Powers lovely?|If the player used a Z-Move while battling Hala}}"/"{{tt|I'm amazed that you won without even using your Z-Power.|If the player defeated Hala without using a Z-Move}}"''
:''"Let's have a [[Pokémon battle]] when next we meet!"''
:''"Very well then, off on your island challenge you go! May the future bring you happiness!"''

;[[Hau'oli City]] Shopping District
:''"Thank you for coming, <player>."'
:''"And you've arrived with such exquisite timing! I've been conducting research on battle planning for quite some time, and at last my simulation is complete!"''
:''"Would you be so kind as to test it with me, <player>?"''
::'''Not now''': ''"What a shame. Please do let me know when you are available."''
::'''Sure''': ''"You have my gratitude. Very well then. To the Trainers' School!"''

;Trainers' School
:''"Before we begin, allow me to explain... It's not battle results that interest me. Rather, it's the carefully-thought-out strategies or novel tactics employed by Trainers. How those plans affect one's opponent and influence the outcome of battles—that is where my interest lies!"''
:''"Now give me everything you've got, <player>!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Yes! It seems that you are once more victorious!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Wonderful! What a truly wonderful battle! I'll be feeling the aftershocks from that battle for a long time to come. That was the best I could've hoped for!"''
:''"Thank you. Allow me to treat you to some tea and snacks back in my room."''

;Hau'oli City Shopping District
:''"Will you be on your way then? Allow me to offer you this as payment for your assistance."''
:''"When a Pokémon holds an Everstone, it will not evolve. It has other effects as well, but let's set those aside for now. May our friendship last as long as an [[Everstone]]!"''

* If talked to again
:''"I think I'll begin analyzing our battle data. There are so many amazing discoveries yet to be made! Someday I hope to share them with everyone!"''

:''"So you've spotted me sticking up one of these lovely stickers, have you?"''
:''"Oh yes! If young trial-goers collect these stickers as they travel and follow the path they indicate, they will quite naturally progress along their island challenge! Really, if I had to describe them, I would say these stickers really save trial-goers like you."''
:''"But I cannot let my guard down...Those {{color|F00|Team Skull}} thugs have far too much time on their hands, and they're always trying to get in the way of Trainers on their island challenge. I have to keep an eye on them to be sure they don't take down my stickers."''
:''"I've actually just had a report that Team Skull was seen making trouble around town. I suppose I should go have a look. Well then, young <player>. I hope you'll have a delightful time running about to search out and collect Totem Stickers!''"

* After defeating Team Skull
:''"What a lovely battle you showed us there, against Team Skull. My thanks to you and your Pokémon. Why don't I heal your team to express my gratitude?"''
:''"I must admit, I've been wondering about you since I saw you at the Trainers' School... [[Professor Kukui]] brought you along, and you and your Pokémon seemed to defeat our teacher so effortlessly! Very well then! Allow me to see if you're ready for my trial!"''
::'''No''': ''"Well then! I'll wait until you are ready to take me on."''
::'''Yes''': ''"Behold the magnificent Pokémon of the one and only Captain Ilima!"''

* Upon being defeated
:''"Yes! You have emerged victorious!"''

* After being defeated
:''"You—or should I say you and your Pokémon— make quite the interesting team!"''
:''"I do hope you'll come to Verdant Cavern and attempt the trial—the {{color|F00|trial of Ilima}}! You can get there from Route 2... That [[Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Dex]] of yours will show you the way."''
:''"I bid you Alola!"''

;{{rt|2|Alola}}
:''"Greetings. Captain Ilima here."''
:''"And my trial..."''
:''"begins mere steps from here in Verdant Cavern!"''
:''"Note that the Pokémon living within Verdant Cavern are quite fierce. I wouldn't venture in unless you've prepared some [[Potion]]s and so forth. Through attempting the trials during the island challenge, one can exceed his or her own limits. ...That is what the Alolan people believe."''
:''"Once you enter Verdant Cavern, you will not be able to leave until you have completed the trial. Are you prepared for the trial?"''
::'''No''': ''"Please make your preparations. I'll be waiting for you!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I'll be waiting for you!"''

;[[Verdant Cavern]]
:''"Let me formally welcome you to Verdant Cavern! I am your captain, Ilima. Allow me to explain the basics of my trial."''
:''"What you should attempt to do is..."''
:''"Defeat three of the Pokémon that lurk here in their dens!"''
:''"Then reach the pedestal deep within the cave... and collect the {{color|F00|Z-Crystal}} there! You'll need to be completely in sync with your Pokémon to succeed."''
:''"Oh dear! And there's one more thing I forgot to mention."''
:''"Many strong Pokémon make their home in this cave, but one stronger and more fearsome than all the rest, known as a {{color|F00|Totem Pokémon}}, also resides here! It will be the greatest obstacle you face as you attempt to clear my trial!"''
:''"By the way, until you clear the trial, you will not be able to catch Pokémon in Verdant Cavern."''
:''"This is but one of the eight trials you will face during your island challenge."''
:''"And it begins now! The trial of Captain Ilima!"''

* If talked to again
:''"Not sure what to do? It's quite simple. Defeat the three Pokémon, reach the pedestal at the back of the cave, and get the Z-Crystal"''

* If the player tries to leave
:''"Yes, <player>? Would you like to give up so you can better prepare for my trial? Keep in mind you'll have to start from the beginning if you leave the cave now, though!"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I see. Unfortunately, I'll have to ask you to go make whatever preparations you may need to and then come back to try again."''
::'''No''': ''"Good! Then go and defeat the three Pokémon. Only then will you be able to claim the Z-Crystal waiting in the final chamber of the cave!"''

* If the player gave up or was defeated by one of the three Pokémon
:''"Yes, <player>? I take it you would like to attempt my trial again?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Good! Then go and defeat the three Pokémon. Only then will you be able to claim the Z-Crystal waiting in the final chamber of the cave! Very well, let the trial begin!"''
::'''No''': ''"I see. Unfortunately, I'll have to ask you to go make whatever preparations you may need to and then come back to try again."''

* If the player restarted the trial after being defeated by Totem {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|UM}}
:''"The Totem Gumshoos{{sup/7|US}}/Raticate{{sup/7|UM}} is a formidable opponent for any Trainer to take on. It is a Normal-type Pokémon, so perhaps you should battle back with Fighting-type Pokémon or moves!"''

* After defeating Totem {{p|Gumshoos}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Raticate}}{{sup/7|UM}}
:''"What an incredible Trainer you are!"''
:''"For you to be able to defeat the [[Totem Pokémon]] that I had trained up to such a powerful state... I don't know what I can say!"''
:''"Working in harmony with your Pokémon, you have cleared the trial of Ilima! You're a phenomenal Trainer! Congratulations, <player>! The Z-Crystal from the pedestal is yours now!"''
:''"What you have just received is the Normal Z-Crystal! It is known as {{color|F00|Normalium Z!}} Now if you let a Pokémon that can use a {{type|Normal}}-[[move]] hold that..."''
:''"and strike an elegant pose like this one... then you will be able to strengthen a Normal-type move by unleashing Z-Power!"''
:''"Moving right along..."''
:''"Ah, yes. First, there is one thing I forgot to mention."''
:''"The Totem Pokémon! In every locale where a captain holds his or her trials, you will encounter a particularly strong Pokémon, like Gumshoos{{sup/7|US}}/Raticate{{sup/7|UM}} just now. And during battles against such Pokémon, they may {{color|F00|summon allies}} to shore up their offense. It's not a tactic often seen in other [[region]]s. Perhaps Pokémon in Alola are simply more inclined to help one another?"''
:''"Since you have managed to defeat the Totem Pokémon and proved yourself, you can now try to catch any of the Pokémon you find here in this cave. In fact, have some Great Balls."''
:''"And here, let me see to your Pokémon after all of their hard work in there!"''
:''"If we're done here, I have something interesting I'd like to show you. Come with me to Route 3."''

;Route 2
:''"Greetings. Captain Ilima here. As you travel around the islands of Alola, you will find captains' barricades here and there. These barricades help mark areas where particularly strong Pokémon can be found. Anyone can pass through them, of course, if they are escorted by a strong Trainer. Those attempting the island challenge can pass the barricades, as long as they clear the trials. Are you ready? Then behold the power of a captain!"''
:''"Voila! Your world just got a little bigger."''
:''"I am the only captain here on [[Melemele Island]], meaning my trial is the only one here."''
:''"Now that you have cleared the trial, please inform our [[Island Kahuna|island kahuna]], [[Hala]]!"''
:''"Oh, so is that why you've been looking so ragged, Professor?"''
:''"I can also look around where I think she might have wandered off to."''

;[[Iki Town]]
:''"Congratulations, <player>. Your performance has been a delight ever since I first laid eyes on you at the Trainers' School."''
:''"{{tt|Aren't Z-Powers lovely?|If the player used a Z-Move while battling Hala}}"/"{{tt|I'm amazed that you won without even using your Z-Power.|If the player defeated Hala without using a Z-Move}}"''
:''"Oh, I know! Why not stop by the Alola Photo Club for a commemorative photo? With {{p|Tauros}}, you can be down to Hau'oli City in no time at all."''
:''"Very well then, off on your island challenge you go! May the future bring you happiness!"''

==In the anime==

[[File:Ilima anime.png|thumb|250px|Ilima in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ilima first appeared in ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]''. In the past, [[Tupp]], a to-be member of [[Team Skull]], got annoyed with him when he began to draw groups of girls to him instead. Later in life, Ilima attended and graduated from the [[Pokémon School]], accomplishing a lot of milestone records; this earned the nickname of "Pokémon School Prince". It was even rumored that he could make [[Samson Oak]]'s {{p|Komala}} open its eyes, but this ultimately turned out to be false, much to the disappointment of {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s class. After graduating, he went to [[Kalos]] to study abroad and even participated in the [[Kalos League]].

In the present day, Ilima battled {{DL|Eevee users|Eevee User Kagetora|Kagetora}} and won, earning him the [[Eevium Z]]. He later returned to the Pokémon School to say hello to Professor Kukui and Samson Oak, and was introduced to {{Ash}} and {{an|Lillie}}. After swimming with Ash and {{ashcl}}, Ilima showed them his [[Z-Ring]] and Eevium Z, and expressed his desire to get stronger with Eevee without needing to [[Evolution|evolve]] it. Ash, finding something in common with Ilima, challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}} and he gladly accepted. Unfortunately, the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were interrupted by a gang of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, led by a vengeful Tupp. Ilima and Eevee defeated all of the Grunts by themselves, using a {{m|Last Resort}} boosted by {{m|Extreme Evoboost}} to send them flying away.

In ''[[SM066|Smashing with Sketch!]]'', Ilima taught Ash and his classmates how to play Pokémon Ping-Pong before participating in a [[Pokémon Ping-Pong tournament]] himself. He eventually came face to face with another expert Pokémon Ping-Pong player, [[Ikari]], in the finals. After an intense match, Ilima emerged victorious. Later that day, Ilima boarded a boat headed back to Kalos.

In [[SM128]], Ilima returned to Alola to participate in the [[Manalo Conference]]. Ash attempted to greet him, only to be knocked over by Ilima's fanbase.

In [[SM129]], Ilima was among the 151 Trainers taking part in the [[Battle Royal]] round of the Manalo Conference. Using Eevee, Ilima was able to defeat all of the Pokémon that Team Skull used against him before going up against [[Plumeria]] and her {{p|Salazzle}}. Ilima was ultimately able to defeat Plumeria and was among the 16 Trainers still standing at the end of the round. The match-ups for the next round revealed that he would be battling [[Guzma]]. Ilima was also revealed to be the favorite to win the [[Alola League]].

In [[SM130]], Ilima went up against Guzma, using his {{p|Kangaskhan}} to battle Guzma's {{p|Scizor}}. Despite Ilima [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Kangaskhan, Scizor was able to defeat its opponent, eliminating Ilima from the competition, much to the dismay of his fan girls.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ilima Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Ilima in Pokémon Adventures]]
Ilima debuted in the {{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. He was first mentioned by [[Mallow]], who considered asking him and [[Acerola]] to join her, [[Kiawe]], and [[Lana]] in raiding [[Team Skull]]'s [[Po Town|base]].

Ilima first appeared in person at the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] on [[Melemele Island]]. There, he agreed to help Mallow and the others face off against Team Skull. After the call ended, a {{tc|Teacher}} informed Ilima that [[Hau]] had arrived to see him. Hau requested to join Ilima and the other Trial Captains in confronting Team Skull at their hideout in Po Town. Hau revealed that a [[Guzma|member]] of Team Skull was a student of [[Hala]]'s, but that student ended up believing that only victories mattered in battling. Due to this, Hala blamed himself for the formation of Team Skull. After Ilima accepted his offer, Hau went off to buy malasadas, as he believed that with food, everyone might get along easier.

Later that day, Ilima and Hau arrived at Po Town on [[Ula'ula Island]], where they met up with Lana, Kiawe, Mallow, and Acerola. Shortly after entering the area, the group was accosted by several {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. When Guzma revealed himself demanding to know why his base was being intruded, Hau offered the malasadas to him in the hopes that everyone could eat together. Guzma accepted, but stated that they had to make it to him first. As he says this, a {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} appear to attack Ilima's group.

The three [[Ultra Beasts]] proceeded to attack anything in sight. As the battle went on, {{adv|Sun}} arrived on the scene, only to get caught up in the commotion. Eventually the Captains' Pokémon are defeated, but Guzma reveals he is in possession of a {{p|Cosmog}}, which he uses to open two [[Ultra Wormhole]]s in order to summon more Ultra Beasts. Shortly after, [[Gladion]] appeared and demanded that Guzma tell him where he received the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. After revealing his true goal is to destroy the Ultra Beasts, Gladion sends out {{p|Type: Null}} to battle the beasts Guzma summoned.

Despite the Captains' Pokémon failing to even scratch the Ultra Beasts, Type: Null is easily able to harm them due to the [[Aether Foundation]] specifically creating it to fight beasts. To everyone's shock, Gladion reveals that the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], is the one who gave Guzma his beasts and is secretly using him to fuel her desire for a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts manage to break free from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all of Ula'ula. The Captains head off to various different locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Electric|Psychic}}. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is smaller on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It can store over 100,000 volts of electricity. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up and its muscles become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity. To keep from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Raichu is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands.}} Like the {{p|Pichu|two}} {{p|Pikachu|others}} in its evolutionary family, Raichu is able to learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} as a [[signature move]].

In Alola, Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it is able to ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities. Raichu's transformation in [[Alola]] into Alolan Raichu is mostly a mystery, but the people of Alola suggest that it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> Researchers do believe the change is related to diet. Alolan Raichu is also sometimes called "hodad". It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.

==Trivia==
* Raichu and Alolan Raichu were created by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>Interview with [[Ken Sugimori]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]</ref>
* Raichu originally had an evolution named "Gorochu", which would have had two horns and fangs. Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it.<ref>http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/</ref>
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries reference a 1903 documentary film called Electrocuting an Elephant by {{wp|Thomas Edison}}.
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the starter of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.
* Raichu and its {{p|Pikachu|pre-evolved form}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
** They all have at least one family member with a [[regional variant]] in Alola.
* Raichu's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola Pokédex in Pokémon Sun and Moon]] are the same: 026.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional variant Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

Alolan Raichu is likely based on the concept of {{DL|Pikachu variant|surfing Pikachu}} and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii. Its design appears to have been influenced by [[Puka]], a {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} that appeared in the anime. In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

====Name origin====
Raichu is a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking).

Alolan Raichu's alternate name, Hodad, as seen in the Ultra Sun [[Pokédex]] entry, seems to be a direct reference to the term [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]]. This might be a reference on how it isn't able to learn {{m|Surf}} (except by evolving an event Pikachu) despite looking like a surfer.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Electric|Psychic}}. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, rodent-like Pokémon. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. This lightning bolt is smaller on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from all its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It can store over 100,000 volts of electricity. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up and its muscles become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity. To keep from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Raichu is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands.}} Like the {{p|Pichu|two}} {{p|Pikachu|others}} in its evolutionary family, Raichu is able to learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} as a [[signature move]].

In Alola, Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, Alolan Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it is able to ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities. Raichu's transformation in [[Alola]] into Alolan Raichu is mostly a mystery, but the people of Alola suggest that it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> Researchers do believe the change is related to diet. Alolan Raichu is also sometimes called "hodad". It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.

==Trivia==
* Raichu and Alolan Raichu were created by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>Interview with [[Ken Sugimori]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]</ref>
* Raichu originally had an evolution named "Gorochu", which would have had two horns and fangs. Sugimori stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it.<ref>http://www.siliconera.com/2018/05/03/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/</ref>
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was retranslated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries reference a 1903 documentary film called Electrocuting an Elephant by {{wp|Thomas Edison}}.
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Raichu [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appears in every regional Pokédex]] except the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the starter of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime.
* Raichu and its {{p|Pikachu|pre-evolved form}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon.
** They all have at least one family member with a [[regional variant]] in Alola.
* Raichu's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola Pokédex in Pokémon Sun and Moon]] are the same: 026.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional variant Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail are like those of a {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

Alolan Raichu is likely based on the concept of {{DL|Pikachu variant|surfing Pikachu}} and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii. Its design appears to have been influenced by [[Puka]], a {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} that appeared in the anime. In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

====Name origin====
Raichu is a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking).

Alolan Raichu's alternate name, Hodad, as seen in the Ultra Sun [[Pokédex]] entry, seems to be a direct reference to the term [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]]. This might be a reference on how it isn't able to learn {{m|Surf}} (except by evolving an event Pikachu) despite looking like a surfer.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Santalune City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.

==History==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ash and Tierno.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Ash]]
Tierno debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' along with {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Trevor}}, and his {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}. He first had a {{pkmn|battle}} against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Conkeldurr}} and won. Later that episode, he battled [[Ash's Froakie]]. During his battle with Ash, he revealed that he dreams of forming a dance unit with his Pokémon.

In ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', Tierno, along with Trevor and Shauna, decided to put the race on hold to help Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} find {{an|Bonnie}}. The group later encountered a {{p|Xerneas|mysterious Pokémon with an X mark}} on their way back to the camp. Although they arrived too late at the camp to win any points in the race, they declared that helping their friends was totally worth it.

In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor participated in a {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, Squirtle, and {{p|Charmander}}, respectively. Their opponents were their new friends and rivals, Ash, Serena, and Clemont and their respective [[starter Pokémon]]. Tierno was the last to defeated in the battle, where his Squirtle was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]]. He was also seen in a flashback in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.

[[File:Pokémon Showcase Glowsticks.png|thumb|250px|Tierno watching a Showcase]]
In ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]'', Tierno met Ash during their journey to the [[Lumiose Gym]]. He revealed that he already defeated [[Clembot]] and earned himself the {{badge|Voltage}}. Soon after, Tierno revealed the Pokémon that he {{pkmn2|caught}} after the camp: {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Ludicolo}}, {{p|Politoed}}, and {{p|Raichu}}.

Both he and Ash decided to have a Pokémon battle, but it was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who captured [[Ash's Sliggoo]] and Tierno's Raichu and Wartortle. After the group separated to rescue the Pokémon, Tierno and Bonnie met up with Sliggoo, Raichu, and Wartortle; and decided to go help Ash and Serena. During the confrontation with Team Rocket, Tierno watched as Sliggoo evolved into {{p|Goodra}} and defeated [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s Pokémon easily. Later, he battled Ash with Wartortle and Raichu, who were defeated by Goodra and Pikachu, respectively.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Tierno watched Serena competing in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Shauna and Trevor.

Tierno met Ash and {{ashfr}} again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration]]'', where he was accompanying Shauna at the Pokémon Showcase that would be held in [[Anistar City]]. He revealed that his Wartortle had evolved into a {{p|Blastoise}} and that he had tried to battle at the [[Gym]] of the city but lost to the Psychic-type Pokémon from the [[Olympia|Gym Leader]]. Later, Tierno and Ash had a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] with Serena and Shauna which was eventually called off without any Pokémon getting defeated. He then had a battle again only with Ash, but the winner is not shown. He and Shauna remained in the group, with Tierno that assisted the Pokémon Showcase, which Shauna and Serena participated in, that happened in the [[XY091|next episode]] alongside Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Tierno made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class on [[television]] along with Trevor.

[[File:Tierno and Sawyer.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno and Sawyer]]
Tierno entered the [[Lumiose Conference]] in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', in which he was seen talking to Trevor during the opening reception. In the [[XY126|following episode]], he was revealed to have advanced all the way to the quarterfinals, where he was matched against [[Sawyer]].

During the match, Tierno first sent out Ludicolo to battle Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}. He commanded Ludicolo to use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to activate its {{a|Swift Swim}} [[Ability]], but Sawyer's strategy of protecting Aegislash with {{m|King's Shield}} and raising its {{stat|Attack}} with {{m|Swords Dance}} proved successful and Ludicolo was [[Fainting|knocked out]]. After that, Tierno decided to use Raichu, and the {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} made quick work of Aegislash with its {{m|Dig}} attack. Sawyer then called out {{p|Slurpuff}} and had it use {{m|Attract}}, {{status|Infatuation|infatuating}} Raichu and prompting Tierno to [[Recall|return it to its Poké Ball]].

After that, Tierno called out Blastoise, and when Slurpuff used Attract again, it had no effect. Tierno then asked Blastoise to use {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, rendering the {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} unable to battle and forcing Sawyer to sent out his last Pokémon, {{TP|Sawyer|Sceptile}}, to the field. Blastoise managed to stand his ground for a while, even resisting a [[super-effective]] {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but ended up losing after it got hit by {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Before he fainted, it used Rain Dance to change the [[weather]] and make things easier for his teammate Raichu. When Tierno brought Raichu back into battle and commanded her to use {{m|Thunder}}, he was taken aback as Sceptile [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] and gained the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability, thus being unaffected by Thunder. Tierno then had Raichu use {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sawyer responded by commanding Mega Sceptile to use Dragon Claw, cutting the Focus Blast in half and knocking Raichu unconscious. As a result, Tierno was eliminated from the competition.

After losing, he decided to remain in Lumiose City to watch the rest of the League together with his friends, which he did up until ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]''.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Tierno joined the fight against [[Team Flare]]. [[Diantha]] tasked him, Shauna, Trevor and [[Sawyer]] with helping the citizens during the crisis. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', he watched the crisis unfold on television in a Pokemon Center. In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Tierno watched the performance that Serena put on to boost morale.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Tierno and his group watched some of the [[wild Pokémon]] who recently escaped Lumiose City during the Team Flare incident.

====Character====
[[File:Tierno dancing.png|thumb|250px|Tierno dancing]]
Much like his [[Tierno|game counterpart]], Tierno is a dancer. This is also reflected in his [[party]] as he tends to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pokémon with special dance skills such as {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Ludicolo}}. Despite being a rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he can cope well when battling more experienced opponents thanks to his skills, teaching dance moves to his Pokémon so they can evade attacks with ease. He is then shown to battle strategically, like Sawyer, by ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]''.

Tierno is very friendly and is always encouraging his friends to do their best. He is very supportive of {{an|Shauna}} and often watches her {{pkmn|Showcase}} performances. He has feelings for {{an|Serena}}, which he demonstrates every time they meet. He was responsible for introducing Shauna to Serena.

'''Miette''' (Japanese: '''ミルフィ''' ''Millefeui'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a [[Pokémon Performer]] and a [[rival]] of {{an|Serena}} who first appeared in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Miette and Serena.png|thumb|left|220px|Miette and Serena]]
Miette debuted in ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]''. She approached {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after her {{p|Slurpuff}} took {{an|Serena}}'s newly baked [[Poké Puff]]s and ate them. After telling Serena that Slurpuff thought her Poké Puffs were of moderate quality, she introduced herself to the group and let them taste some of her own Poké Puffs. As Serena and Miette quarreled over each other's knowledge about Poké Puffs, {{an|Bonnie}} proposed that they should compete against each other in the [[Poké Puff Contest]] held that same day. Miette told the group that she was already planning to enter said contest, and Serena then decided to enter as well.

Miette entered the contest and quickly advanced to the final round. Afterwards, she went to look for ingredients to use, but found out that every shop in town was sold out of Poké Puff ingredients. After talking to Ash and his friends, who were experiencing the same problem, she decided to go to a nearby forest with the group to find {{Berries}}. There, she came with the idea to use her Slurpuff, as she can pick up sweet scents to easily find Berries. After walking through the forest for a while, her Slurpuff picked up a scent, which it and the group then followed. On top of a cliff, they found a large amount of fresh Berries. It turned out {{TRT}} had stolen all Berries from town and the forest. Miette then had Slurpuff help defeat Team Rocket and retrieve the stolen Berries.

The next day, Serena and Miette competed in the final round of the Poké Puff Contest. For the final round, Miette made a Poké Puff consisting of cotton candy and whipped cream, with a [[Tamato Berry]] topping. It was not enough to win however, as both Miette and Serena lost to the [[Berrybaker kids]]. As they both lost, they settled their quarrel and went on friendly terms. Miette decided to continue her {{pkmn|journey}} and keep studying making Poké Puffs. She also whispered to Serena to tell Ash [[AmourShipping|how she truly felt about him]] or she might reveal her own feelings and take Ash for herself, causing Serena to blush.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Miette competed in the [[Dendemille Town]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Rookie Class. She and Serena remain on much friendlier terms than before, though Miette is very fond of playfully teasing Serena about her crush on Ash, making Serena blush furiously every time she brings up the topic.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Miette attended a party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]]. She partnered with {{Ash}} for the ballroom dance and later faced off against him and Serena in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] alongside [[James]]. Despite her best efforts, Miette ended up losing the battle.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'', Miette entered the Pokémon Showcase Master Class that was being held in [[Gloire City]]. In the first round, she was grouped with Serena and [[Sara Lee]], and she was able to deliver a unique performance along with her Slurpuff. However, it wasn't impressive enough and she ended up receiving fewer votes than Serena. After her loss, Miette became very emotional and cried backstage, but she soon wiped the tears and congratulated Serena, telling her to win the competition for the both of them.

==Character==
While passionate and talented at Pokémon Training and baking, Miette seems to have a very high opinion of herself. She originally considered her Poké Puffs to be "perfect", and her rivalry with Serena started after she claimed hers were only "moderate" in comparison. After both girls lost the final of the Poké Puff Contest, however, Miette was willing to make up with Serena and they parted on relatively friendly terms. Miette is fairly graceful in defeat in general; she showed no resentment towards Serena beating her in the Dendemille Town and Gloire City Showcases, or to Ash and Serena beating her in the Tag Battle at [[Monsieur Pierre]]'s dance party.

Miette has a forward personality. She enjoys sneaking up behind people to surprise them and enjoys teasing others, usually in a playful manner. She quickly picked up on Serena's [[AmourShipping|crush]] on Ash and brings it up at every instance she can. She has told Serena that she has a crush on Ash herself, describing him at times as their "other competition" apart from Pokémon Showcases. Miette also acts very flirtatious around Ash himself.

|desc={{p|Slurpuff}} is one of Miette's Pokémon. She first appeared stealing {{an|Serena}}'s {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|Poké Puffs}} from the group with her Psychic move. According to Miette, Slurpuff thought Serena's Poké Puffs were of moderate quality. Afterwards she helped Miette in the preliminary round of the [[Poké Puff Contest]], and it was later announced they proceeded to the final round. Later, when {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and Miette went to a nearby forest to find Berries, Slurpuff picked up a scent, and the group quickly followed her. On top of a cliff the group found a large amount of fresh Berries. Right at that moment, the {{p|Swirlix}} from earlier returned, now seemingly scared of something. It turned out they were being chased by {{TRT}}. Slurpuff then helped defeat Team Rocket. The next day, she helped Miette in the final round of the Poké Puff Contest but they didn't win.

Slurpuff appeared again in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'' where she was performing along with Meowstic in the second round.

She appeared again during [[Monsieur Pierre]]'s dance party in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', dancing with {{AP|Pikachu}} before battling against him and Serena's {{p|Eevee}} alongside [[James]]'s {{TP|James|Inkay}}, both of them being defeated once Eevee evolved into {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}} and learned {{m|Fairy Wind}}.

Slurpuff reappeared in ''[[XY112|Master Class Is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'' as the Pokémon Miette used during the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class. In the first round, she was grouped with [[Serena's Braixen]] and [[Sara Lee]]'s {{p|Glaceon}}. She performed rather well, but it was not enough to carry them on to the next round.

Slurpuff's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Cotton Spore}} and {{m|Fairy Wind}}.}}

'''Aria''' (Japanese: '''エル''' ''Elle'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is the reigning {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} and a [[rival]] of {{an|Serena}}.

==History==
[[File:Past Palermo and Aria.png|thumb|left|250px|Aria and Palermo in the past]]
Aria debuted in ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', albeit only in a [[Pokévision]] video. She was shown to be well known in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], with her videos often making it in the top 10 most viewed videos. Her first place video was watched by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} and inspired {{an|Serena}} to make a Pokévision video herself.

She reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', where {{an|Shauna}} recalled how Aria had switched from simply making Pokévision videos to being a [[Pokémon Performer]], although she said Aria still makes Pokévision videos specially for her fans. Aria had won multiple [[Pokémon Showcase]]s, and entered the Master Class. She was able to win the Master Class tournament with her {{p|Braixen}}, gaining herself the title of Kalos Queen.

She physically debuted in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', where she gave an exhibition performance at the {{to|Lagoon}} Showcase Rookie Class, which was watched by {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and Shauna. The performance consisted of her Braixen first showing off her {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s. Afterwards Aria and Braixen proceeded to toss Braixen's branch back and forth. She had Braixen finish the performance with a {{m|Fire Blast}}.

She appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'' when Serena remembered her performance at the Lagoon Showcase while {{pkmn|training}} for her debut.

[[File:Aria in disguise.png|thumb|250px|As Ariana]]
Aria reappeared in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', wearing a disguise and using the pseudonym '''Ariana''' (Japanese: '''エレーナ''' ''Elena'') to get away from the attention of the press and her fans. She confronted Serena while she was standing alone in deep thought and told her that girls should always smile as that is what makes their beauty shine through. She then complimented Serena for her smile being "the most joyful of them all". Later, Aria had a [[Double Battle]] with Serena. She used her {{TP|Aria|Delphox}} and {{p|Aromatisse}} against [[Serena's Fennekin]] and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}}, and {{p|Fennekin}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Braixen}} during their battle. However, Aria was called off and she parted ways with Serena, leaving their battle unfinished. The next day, she was seen in a video performing in a Showcase and Serena realized the girl she met the day before was Aria.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Aria and her Pokémon watched Serena compete in the [[Dendemille Town]] Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class. Her next appearance was in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', where she appeared on [[Television|TV]] delivering a performance with her Delphox and Aromatisse.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Aria attended a dance party hosted by Monsieur Pierre. She was Pierre's dance partner. As the guest of honor, Aria led the {{wp|first dance}}, opening the dancing for the other Performers and their partners. When they all started changing partners, Aria had a dance with {{Ash}}.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', Aria attended the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class as she was required to defend her title. As the reigning Kalos Queen, she was guaranteed a spot in the finals. In ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', after Serena defeated {{an|Shauna}} and [[Jessie|Jessilee]] in the semifinals, the two competed for the title of Kalos Queen. Aria delivered a performance that entranced the crowd and easily won, retaining her title. Afterwards, both Aria and Serena declared themselves as friendly rivals.

==Character==
[[File:Aria smiling.png|thumb|250px|Aria's bright personality]]
Aria's character can be easily described as joyful, energetic, and cheerful. Whenever she performs, she strives to make the people watching her smile. She knows how to motivate and inspire people, and these personality traits coupled with her performing skills led to her success in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

Before being crowned {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}, Aria was mentored by [[Palermo]]. It was revealed in ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' that the two have a close relationship, with Aria calling Palermo her master. The two keep in touch and talk about promising and talented Performers.

'''Shauna's Ivysaur''' (Japanese: '''サナフシギソウ''' ''Sana's Fushigisou'') is {{an|Shauna}}'s {{pkmn2|starter|first}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==History==
[[File:Shauna Bulbasaur.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Bulbasaur]]
Shauna received Bulbasaur as her [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Sycamore]]. Bulbasaur made its debut in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} first met Shauna. Shauna showed that Bulbasaur had featured in a couple of her [[Pokévision]] videos. Bulbasaur later battled {{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in a "first to touch" {{pkmn|battle}}. Despite the inherent type disadvantage, it used {{m|Energy Ball}} to blast straight through Fennekin's {{m|Flamethrower}} and land a hit, fulfilling the conditions of the match and winning.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Bulbasaur starred in Team Squirtle's Pokévision video alongside [[Tierno's Squirtle]] and [[Trevor's Charmander]]. In the [[XY041|episode after that]], Bulbasaur also took part in the PokéEnteering competition of the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]].

Shauna used Bulbasaur in the {{DL|Pokémon battle|Team Battle}} tournament in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]'' where it battled alongside Charmander and Squirtle, making their way through to the final round which was set to be against Team Froakie. Before the battle {{TRT}} managed to trick Shauna into leaving Bulbasaur with them, under the impression they'd take it to [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} constricted Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle with {{m|Leech Seed}} but Ash and their trainers eventually were led to Team Rocket by [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] and Serena's Fennekin. It later battled Pikachu, Fennekin, and [[Clemont's Chespin]] in the tournament finals where it was defeated by Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}}.
[[File:Shauna and Ivysaur.png|thumb|left|250px|Ivysaur and Shauna]]
Bulbasaur later accompanied its trainer to watch a [[Pokémon Showcase]] held at [[Lagoon Town]] in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]''. Shauna and Bulbasaur left straight after the event.

In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', Shauna and Bulbasaur finally competed in a Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class at [[Coumarine City]]. The Theme Performance was Pokémon Styling and they went up against [[Jessie|Jessilee]], and her Pumpkaboo and a Performer named [[Alouette]] and her {{p|Furfrou}}. Bulbasaur modeled a bouquet of flowers on its bulb and the audience voted it through to the next round. It later worked with {{p|Flabébé}} during the Freestyle Performance. The two Pokémon combined {{m|Petal Dance}} with {{m|Fairy Wind}} to create a pretty pink backdrop for Shauna as she danced with a {{wp|Ribbon (rhythmic gymnastics)|ribbon}}. After the team disappeared amongst cloud, Bulbasaur dispersed the Fairy Wind with {{m|Solar Beam}}. Bulbasaur was revealed from the cover using {{m|Vine Whip}}, in the shape of a heart, to suspend itself in the air. Their performance won the whole event, earning Shauna her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}.
[[File:Shauna Ivysaur Stage Clothing.png|thumb|220px|Ivysaur in the Master Class]]
It appeared again in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'' where it was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}. It later battled alongside [[Tierno's Blastoise]] in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Ash's Pikachu and [[Serena's Eevee]]. The match was called off before reaching a conclusion. It competed in the [[Anistar City]] Pokémon Showcase Rookie Class in the [[XY091|following episode]] where it helped Shauna to win the Theme Performance. It teamed up with Flabébé in the Freestyle Performance and gave a similar performance to before. However, Serena was voted the overall winner and Shauna did not earn a Princess Key.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', Ivysaur was entered in the [[Gloire City]] Pokémon Showcase Master Class, where it was used in the first and second rounds, helping Shauna advance to the semifinals. It performed once again in ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', this time paired up with Flabébé. It was grouped with [[Serena's Sylveon]] and {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and Jessilee's {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} and {{MTR}}. Its performance did not receive enough votes however, and Shauna was eliminated from the competition.

It reappeared in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', where it joined the fight against [[Team Flare]]. It was later seen at the [[Pokémon Center]], helping the citizens of [[Lumiose City]]. It was also seen watching the battle against the [[Giant Rock]] unfold on television in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Ivysaur, along with Shauna, Serena, Jessie and their respective Pokémon, performed for a crowd of Lumiose citizens.

==Personality and characteristics==
During the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], Bulbasaur was [[Friendship|friendly]] to its Trainer while acting cold towards all others, not being as welcoming to {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{ashfr|the group}}'s Pokémon as {{an|Tierno}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. In later appearances, however, Bulbasaur was shown to have warmed up to the gang and retained this as an Ivysaur.

'''Magearna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マギアナ''' ''Magearna'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Magearna has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|second form]] colored gold and red known as '''Original Color Magearna''' that is not currently obtainable in the games, although it has been shown in the anime. The difference between these forms is purely aesthetic.

It was leaked in the March issue of [[CoroCoro]] released on February 10, 2016, and it was officially revealed on February 14, 2016, making it the first [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public.

==Biology==
Magearna is a metallic, bipedal Pokémon that is made up primarily of spheres. Its head is a medium-sized sphere with a slight point in the back. Around its head is a gear with seven teeth, although the gear does not cover its chin. It has two large, rabbit-like ears with gold rims, a tiny nose and mouth, and light red eyes with pinkish ovals in the center. In the centers of the ovals are white crosses, and thin gold wiring encircles each eye with two small prongs similar to eyelashes. The rabbit-like ears appear to be two halves of a large disc held together by a hinge at the top.

Magearna's upper body is similar to a [[Poké Ball]]: it is divided into two light blue portions by a thick gray band. In the front center of the band is a circular depression that is half-blue and half-pink. Above and below the depression, in the light blue portions, is a yellow, diamond-shaped marking. On either side of its upper body is a large, spherical shoulder with thin upper arms that lead to large, claw-shaped forearms and slightly pointed hands. Its lower body is a much larger sphere that resembles a {{wp|ball gown}}. There is a pair of golden, wavy lines on each side of this sphere, which is divided down the front and back by a gray line. In the back, there is a solid gold ring with a hole in the center at the bottom of this line. The front has a gold ring as well, but it is broken at the top and bottom and has a shield shape in the center. Metal plates similar to the ruffles of a dress adorn the bottom of its lower body. It has two pointed legs.

Magearna was created by a scientist 500 years ago. The sphere in this Pokémon's chest is known as the Soul-Heart, and the scientist created it by collecting life energy from Pokémon. The Soul-Heart is the true body of Magearna. Due to its ability to feel other's pain, it will try as hard as it can to save injured Pokémon. It can even perceive the emotions, thoughts, or feelings of other Pokémon as well. When it's sleeping or sometimes when it is sad, Magearna can take on the appearance of a Poké Ball.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/magearna/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Magearna]</ref> Back when it was invented, Magearna's body was primarily painted gold, though a lighter shade than the highlights and rims that adorn its body. The ears and the top half of its lower body were painted red, matching the coloration of an {{i|Poké Ball|ordinary Poké Ball}}. This vivid coloring is a sign that it was a present to royalty. The princess of the land was very pleased with it.

Magearna is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fleur Cannon}}.

==Trivia==
* Magearna is the only Pokémon that is both able to learn moves by TM outside of ones it learns through leveling up and yet is unable to learn {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Sleep Talk}}.
** Magearna is also the only Mythical Pokémon to be made available in the core series through an [[List of QR Code in-game event Pokémon in Generation VII#QR Code Magearna|indefinitely active event.]]
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], Magearna has a base [[experience]] yield of 120.

===Origin===
Magearna is likely based on a {{wp|karakuri puppet}} and a {{wp|rabbit}}. It also may be inspired by a {{wp|nursemaid}}, a young woman that would care and look after children within the community of a large household, having historically worked in medieval castles. The gear around Magearna's head also resembles a maid's headdress as well as its central body looking similar to the common wear for a maid, such as its arms looking like long, puffed sleeves and the black divide near the end of its "gown" bearing resemblance to the end of an apron. The rabbit ears and the yellow crescents on its body may refer to the {{wp|moon rabbit}} legend.

====Name origin====
Magearna may be a combination of ''machina'' (Latin for ''machine'') and ''gear''.

(Japanese: '''ピカチュウのドキドキ探検隊！''' ''Pikachu's Exciting Expedition!'') is the 126th episode of the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, and the 1,065th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on June 16, 2019.
{{spoilers}}


==Plot==
{{Ash}} prepares for the upcoming [[Alola]] {{pkmn|League Conference}} with his Pokémon. {{AP|Torracat}} uses a {{m|Fire Blast}} attack and {{AP|Lycanroc}} counters with {{m|Stone Edge}}. The resulting explosion whips up a powerful gust which triggers Celebi to [[time travel]] to escape, however it also accidentally transports Ash and Torracat into the past along with it. Though for {{AP|Pikachu}} and the others, they find themselves suddenly abandoned and decide to search for Ash. The search party is struggling to find any trace, until Lycanroc spots [[Ash's hat]] moving amongst some tall grass. Lycanroc and Pikachu enthusiastically bowl over who they think is Ash, but it turns out to be a {{p|Sudowoodo}}. Pikachu manages to still retrieve Ash's cap, but he's beginning to stress. He turns to {{AP|Rowlet}} for any ideas of where to search next, but Rowlet has fallen asleep while flying. Pikachu promptly wakes Rowlet up before placing the cap on Lycanroc’s head. The group continues their search, but {{Rotom}} now finds itself alone.

Lycanroc and the others rush over to the [[Pokémon School]]. However Pikachu and Lycanroc's search of the classroom yields no results, and Rowlet affirms that the schoolyard is also empty. Rowlet suddenly spots Ash's cap moving on its own, but it turns out that {{AP|Meltan}} is just playing games and it continues to spin around the classroom. Meltan eventually hits a wall, causing the blackboard rubber to fall onto it. This gives Pikachu an idea and he orders everyone to the [[Ultra Guardians]]' base. Lycanroc slides the blackboard up to reveal the hidden control panel behind, and Rowlet activates the lift with a swift kick to the on button. The foursome enter the elevator where they receive their Ultra Guardian symbols. The elevator ride stops, and the search party are greeted by {{TP|Lusamine|Clefable}} and a surprisingly large number of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Meltan}}. Ash's Meltan invites all of the other Meltan to join it inside Ash's hat. Pikachu watches in horror as the hat seams stretch almost to capacity. Clefable intervenes, calling all of the Meltan to assemble before rewarding their obedience with a large bowl of hex nuts. Pikachu asks Clefable if it has seen Ash, but it replies that it hasn't seen him at all. He pauses for a moment before requesting the assistance of the [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]]. Clefable agrees to the request and sends Ash's Pokémon out with an Ult-roger salute. Pikachu and Lycanroc clamber onto {{p|Garchomp}}'s back as they prepare to lift off, while Rowlet follows them with Meltan in its talons.

Garchomp asks where they want to go, and Rowlet replies somewhere with a good view. Garchomp has a place in mind and zips across to none other than Alola's highest peak, [[Mount Lanakila]]. The increased altitude leaves Pikachu and Rowlet, in particular shivering from the cold. Garchomp, worried about its pimpling skin, soon leaves Pikachu and the others to continue their search. Pikachu takes a moment to look at its surrounding, but all it can see is ice and more ice. He calls for the others' attention, but Lycanroc and Meltan are too busy playing in the snow while Rowlet is feeling sleepy from the cold. Pikachu spins Rowlet around, then slaps its face a bit before giving it a jolt of electricity which reawakens it. To make good headway in their search, the Pokémon ride a sled down. The sled ride becomes increasingly fast and dangerous as they try to avoid oncoming obstacles. A {{p|Glalie}} suddenly bursts from the snow causing Pikachu and the others to make a sharp turn down a steep embankment. The hill abruptly ends, sending everyone hurtling into the air. They soon land, only to continue rolling down yet another hill inside a snowball. The route leads them off a cliff and they take a dip into the ocean below.

Pikachu is the first to reach the surface, and soon enough Lycanroc swims over to him, followed by Rowlet, who alerts the other two that Meltan is missing. Pikachu and Lycanroc dive down to find Meltan, but all they can see is the local {{t|Water}} Pokémon. Rowlet flies to search from the air while the other two decide to check the ocean again. Pikachu and Lycanroc then swim directly into what they think is a cavern, but it turns out to be the inside of a {{p|Wailord}}. The Wailord soon breaches the surface for some air. It spouts out water from its blow holes, also propelling Meltan into Rowlet's waiting claws. Wailord then begins to struggle because of a pair of blockages. It eventually manages to build up enough pressure to clear the obstructions, causing Pikachu and Lycanroc to be spouted high into the air.

Having been blasted off by Wailord's water spouts, everyone finds themselves lying on a [[Melemele Island]] beach. Pikachu opens his eyes to find no one in sight, but he spots Ash's cap close by. As he reaches for it, the hat continues to move further away because it is on the back of a {{p|Crabrawler}}. After several failed attempts, Pikachu demands the hat back. Crabrawler turns around and prepares to throw a fist to keep its newfound shelter. Pikachu replies with an {{m|Iron Tail}}, blocking most of Crabrawler's fury. The pair run across the water's surface as their rivalry intensifies before returning to the sandy shores. Crabrawler and Pikachu stare at each other, with Ash's hat lying between them. Meltan stumbles upon the scene and crawls inside of Ash's hat before beginning to walk off with it. Crabrawler gives chase and snatches the hat from Meltan. However, Meltan is infuriated and retaliates with a powerful {{m|Flash Cannon}}. The attack causes Crabrawler to collapse and Ash’s hat lands at Pikachu's feet. Pikachu congratulates Meltan just as Rowlet and Lycanroc re-join them.

Pikachu suddenly collapses from the stress of finding Ash and the subsequent growing hunger, as do the others. However Meltan is unfazed after finding a strewn can to snack on. Lycanroc suddenly catches a whiff of something and it leads its fellow Pokémon up a steep cliff to a [[Sitrus Berry]]-filled tree. They enthusiastically run up the tree trunk, but fail to reach any of the Berries. Pikachu lands on the ground first, only to be squashed under everyone else's weight. As a result Pikachu zaps everyone and Meltan uses Flash Cannon, leaving them all covered in soot. For all their efforts, a single singed Sitrus Berry falls from the tree.

Suddenly a bright green light catches their attentions, and they run towards it. Ash and Torracat have finally returned to their own time. He turns back to {{p|Trevenant|Grandpa Oh}}, but notices that only a tree trunk with overgrown moss remains. Ash's other Pokémon rush over to greet their {{pkmn|Trainer}}, greatly relieved to see him back. Ash takes his hat from Pikachu's head before placing it on his own. Ash also notices that Lycanroc and the others appear particularly dirty, but he is unable to understand their Pokémon speech replies. Afterwards, Ash leads his troupe of Pokémon along the beach and towards home.
