The '''Fairy type''' (Japanese: '''フェアリータイプ''' ''Fairy type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon include the [[Gym Leader]] [[Valerie]] of [[Laverre City]].

The Fairy type was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. As well as introducing new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the Fairy type, 22 Pokémon were changed to Fairy types.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
As it was created to balance the competitive play in [[Generation VI]], Fairy type is considered to be one of the best defensive types, along with {{t|Steel}}. It has a key resistance to the powerful {{t|Fighting}} types, as well as the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Bug}} types. Most of all, it also has a useful immunity to {{type|Dragon}} moves. Its only weaknesses are to {{t|Poison}} and Steel, both of which were rarely used offensively prior to its introduction.

===Offense===
Fairy is quite strong on offense as well. It is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective|super-effective}} against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, all of which previously had two weaknesses. Though resisted by {{t|Fire}}, Poison, and Steel, Fire types still struggle defensively, Poison types are statistically weak, and Steel types struggle offensively. Additionally, all three of those types are weak to {{t|Ground}}, making a Fairy and Ground attacking combination very effective if used against any single-type Pokémon. Fairy also pairs well with {{t|Ghost}} and Dark, with the former combination being resisted only by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}} and the latter being resisted only by {{p|Mawile}} and {{p|Klefki}}.

Despite this, Fairy type is quite balanced due to the lack of powerful Fairy-type moves. Also, unlike most Dragon types, most Fairy types typically have high {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, but relative low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}}.

===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Fairy-type moves are typically {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} moves. None of them are considered {{OBP|Cool|condition}} or {{OBP|Tough|condition}} moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 37 Fairy-type Pokémon, or 5.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the third rarest Pokémon type, behind {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Ice}}.

==Trivia==
* More Pokémon were changed to Fairy than either of the other types added since [[Generation I]] (the other two being {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation II]]), with 22. Also, more moves were changed to Fairy, with three. All three of them were introduced in [[Generation II]] and were previously {{type|Normal}}.
** It is also the only one out of the three types to completely change the types of Pokémon from previous generations, changing several previously pure Normal-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Snubbull}}, to pure Fairy.
* The types that resist Fairy ({{t|Poison}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fire}}) are weak to {{t|Ground}}.
** Every type that resists Fairy also resists {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Bug}}.
* The Fairy-type is one of the two types that {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot become, the other being the {{type|Normal}}.

Super-ancient Pokémon

HoennLove200: /* Trivia */

{{unknown name}}
[[File:Weather trio.png|thumb|210px|Groudon and Kyogre battle as Rayquaza arrives.]]
The '''weather trio''' is a fan term for the [[Legendary trio]] made up of {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. A less commonly used fan term is '''elemental trio'''. They are referred to in the games and the Super Music Collections as the '''super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''超古代ポケモン''' ''super-ancient Pokémon''), although the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]] has applied this term to [[Fossil]] Pokémon as well.

The weather trio could be references to the Biblical mythologies, {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird, respectively. Also, their role as the guardian, as well as their respective types, are related to the elemental spheres; Kyogre being the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon being the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza being the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These three members all appear to have similar physiology; identical signs on their body, as well as their yellow eyes.

In their reprised roles in the [[remake]]s of {{g|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre gained the ability to undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and Rayquaza the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Primal Reversion is said to be a process whereby the Pokémon return to their original power. Meanwhile, Rayquaza is said to be the first Pokémon to have Mega Evolved.

In their original appearance in Generation III, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} [[Ability|Abilities]] belonged exclusively to them. Though several non-Legendary Pokémon have other Abilities that can alter the [[weather conditions]], only {{a|Cloud Nine}}'s effect overlaps with the effects of the trio's Abilities (with Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}}). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Though moves such as {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}} have acted just like Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities since Generation II, causing the weather to change for only five turns, originally, Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities caused their weather effect for the remainder of the battle or until the weather was changed again in some way. However, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre's new, enhanced Abilities render it impossible for the weather to be changed by most other means, though the effect lasts only as long as they remain in battle. By contrast, Rayquaza's Ability—which removes the battle effects of any weather on the field, leaving only its visual effect—only lasts as long as Rayquaza remains active, as does Mega Rayquaza's enhanced version of the Ability.

Rayquaza, the [[trio master]], was shown quelling a violent confrontation between the other two Pokémon during the events of {{game|Emerald}}.

This, the [[Tao trio]], and the [[Forces of Nature]] are the only Legendary trios whose members do not all have the same [[Base stats|base stat]] total; Groudon and Kyogre share a total of 670, while Rayquaza's is 680. This fits with its role as a mediator between Groudon and Kyogre.

==History==
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the trio's history is revealed. Thousands of years ago, during the primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing. But Rayquaza intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world. A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, causing cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Groudon and Kyogre to re-battle each other. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and that wish combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayqauza to Mega Evolve for the first time and calm the two from quarreling.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|ORAS details}}
[[File:Weather trio cutscene.png|frame|Rayquaza confronting Kyogre and Groudon in a cutscene in Emerald.]]
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In these games, both Kyogre and Groudon appear in the [[Cave of Origin]] in their respective games, and after defeating the [[Elite Four]], the {{player}} can encounter Rayquaza at rest on the topmost floor of the [[Sky Pillar]].



===Pokémon Emerald===
In the enhanced version of Ruby and Sapphire, Kyogre and Groudon both appear in alternating caves after beating the [[Elite Four]]: [[Marine Cave]] (on {{rt|105|Hoenn}}, {{rt|125|Hoenn}}, {{rt|127|Hoenn}}, or {{rt|129|Hoenn}}) for Kyogre and [[Terra Cave]] (on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}, {{rt|115|Hoenn}}, {{rt|116|Hoenn}}, or {{rt|118|Hoenn}}) for Groudon. Rayquaza appears atop the [[Sky Pillar]] after calming Kyogre and Groudon in [[Sootopolis City]], and is obtainable before the defeat of the [[Elite Four]].



===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
All members of the weather trio can be obtained in the [[Embedded Tower]] after {{ga|Red}} is defeated and {{player}} has the [[National Pokédex]], [[Starter Pokémon#Kanto|Kanto starter Pokémon]], and respective [[Legendary artifacts#Colored orbs|Orbs]].

Once both a Kyogre from HeartGold and a Groudon from SoulSilver are in one game, the player gets an opportunity to catch Rayquaza.

</gallery>

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In the remakes, both Kyogre and Groudon appear in the [[Cave of Origin]] just like in the originals. However when the player faces them, they are in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza is obtained during the Delta Episode atop [[Sky Pillar]], which occurs after the player become the Champion and is granted access to Sky Pillar by [[Wallace]]. Rayquaza must be caught when encountered; if the player runs away from it or defeats it, he or she will have to battle it again until it is caught.

==In the anime==
All three members of the weather trio have appeared in the anime. {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lance]] managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively.

{{p|Rayquaza}} debuted separately from the other members of its trio. It first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' defending its territory from a {{p|Deoxys}}. It later made its television debut in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'' as an illusion.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza debuted in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} attempted to battle it with their receptive Mega Pokémon, but are quickly overwhelmed as it causes destruction to the surrounding area.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{shiny}} Mega Rayqauza are expected to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
All three members of the weather trio have appeared in Pokémon Adventures. Archie and Maxie took control of Kyogre and Groudon respectively, and Norman obtained Rayquaza to calm the two.

==Trivia==
* The [[List of Pokémon by color|colors]] of the three members of weather trio are the {{wp|RGB color model|additive primary colors of light}}.
* The weather trio are the first Legendary trio not to share one universal Ability.
* Rayquaza is the only member of the weather trio that:
** Cannot learn an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move.
** Is not directly sought after by a specific crime syndicate.
** Has a [[Mega Evolution]] form and not a [[Primal Reversion|Primal Form]].
** Cannot learn its [[signature move]] by level-up, as it can learn it by move tutor.

HoennLove200: /* Weather Trio and Hoopa */

== Party change spoilers ==
[[File:M18 Pikachu the Movie poster.png|thumb]]
So, the new poster seems to have the main characters Pokémon, with some changes to the lineup. Evolutions (Serena's Fennekin, Clemont's Luxio and Jessie's Pumpkaboo) and some new Pokémon (Florges, Noivern, Gothita and a Snorlax). Should the pages for the possible evolutions be protected, or isn't this enough evidence? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 11:36, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:Personally, since the movie won't be due until over 8 months from now, I'd like to refrain from protecting Fennekin, Luxio, and Pumpkaboo. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia! ==

Is it safe to say that this movie has the most amount of Legendary Pokémon, with 15? —'''[[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|Awe]][[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|some]][[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|DJ]][[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|Pokémon]]''' 12:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
:There's actually 13 Legendary Pokémon and 2 Mythical Pokémon; [[M13]] has 13 Legendary Pokémon and 1 Mythical Pokémon counting Pokémon in the intro (15 Legendary Pokémon if you count the Dialga/Palkia statues in the ending). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences|second form]] activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Prison Bottle}}, which has not been officially revealed. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Hoopa Confined.
** Due to its unique type combination, Hoopa Confined is the only Pokémon with a double weakness to {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}. This also makes it the only Pokémon with a double weakness to one of its own types.
* Hoopa Unbound is the tallest {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} as the tallest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound has the highest base {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound is the heaviest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa is the only Pokémon to have more than one Species name.
* Hoopa is the only [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to have different Pokédex entries between {{game|X and Y|s}} and {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}.

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired from common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}, particularly those with a wisp-like tail. It having rings around its wrists could have been inspired from the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound may also have been inspired from djinn, while its six arms may have been drawn from the Hindu deities known as {{wp|Shakti}}, who were rumored to grow multiple arms. It may also be base on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons.

Its ability to use its hoops to transport things may be based on {{wp|Portals in fiction|portals}}. Its relationship with the [[Prison Bottle]] is similar to the djinn with its lamp in the story of Aladdin, being that their full power is sealed from their respective item.

====Name origin====
Hoopa is derived from ''hoop''.

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences|second form]] activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Prison Bottle}}, which has not been officially revealed. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired from common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}, particularly those with a wisp-like tail. It having rings around its wrists could have been inspired from the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound may also have been inspired from djinn, while its six arms may have been drawn from the Hindu deities known as {{wp|Shakti}}, who were rumored to grow multiple arms. It may also be base on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons. Its ability to use its hoops to transport things may be based on {{wp|Portals in fiction|portals}}.

====Name origin====
Hoopa is derived from ''hoop''.

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences|second form]] activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Prison Bottle}}, which has not been officially revealed. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Hoopa Confined.
** Due to its unique type combination, Hoopa Confined is the only Pokémon with a double weakness to {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}. This also makes it the only Pokémon with a double weakness to one of its own types.
* Hoopa Unbound is the tallest {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, and is tied with {{me|Gyarados}} as the tallest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound has the highest base {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Hoopa Unbound is the heaviest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Hoopa is the only Pokémon to have more than one Species name.
* Hoopa is the only [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to have different Pokédex entries between {{game|X and Y|s}} and {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}.

===Origin===
Hoopa Confined may have been inspired from common depictions of {{wp|jinn|djinn}}, particularly those with a wisp-like tail. It having rings around its wrists could have been inspired from the djinn in the story of {{wp|Aladdin}}.

Hoopa Unbound may also have been inspired from djinn, while its six arms may have been drawn from the Hindu deities known as {{wp|Shakti}}, who were rumored to grow multiple arms. It may also be base on the {{wp|Gegenees}}, who were a tribe of six-armed giants who fought the {{wp|Argonauts}}. Its tail and horns may also derive from common depictions of demons. Its ability to use its hoops to transport things may be based on {{wp|Portals in fiction|portals}}.

====Name origin====
Hoopa is derived from ''hoop''.

Tall grass

2015-02-23T23:00:37Z

HoennLove200: /* Differences between games */

[[File:Gold explores Route 29.png|thumb|200px|{{ga|Ethan}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}} explore the tall grass on {{rt|29|Johto}}]]
'''Tall grass''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon]] [[core series]], and the habitat for many species of [[wild Pokémon]]. By entering patches of tall grass, a wild Pokémon may appear and begin to battle the player.

Tall grass is found on most [[routes]] of the [[Pokémon world]], with some routes containing more tall grass patches than others. If the player enters a patch of tall grass, they may randomly enter a wild Pokémon battle. People are warned to stay out of tall grass if they don't have a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, due to the possibility of being attacked by wild Pokémon.

In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], using {{m|Cut}} causes the tall grass tile directly in front of the player to be cut down. In [[Generation III]], this instead cuts down a 3×3 area around the player. In [[Generation II]], [[long grass]], such as that in the [[National Park]], requires multiple uses to be cut down; in [[Generation III]], it is instantaneous. From [[Generation IV]] onward, Cut has no effect on tall grass.

==Technical mechanics==
===Determining the rate of encounter===
The probability (''P'') of encountering a Pokémon after taking a step in an area is determined by a simple mathematical formula:

<big>''P = x / 187.5''</big>

where ''x'' is one of the values below describing how rare Pokémon are in the area.

===Poké Radar===
{{main|Poké Radar}}
[[File:PokéRadarShinyProbability IV.png|thumb|right|The formula for the probability of finding a Shiny Pokémon. nc is the number of Pokémon in the chain, up to 40.]]
The Poké Radar is a device introduced in [[Generation IV]] that is used to seek out [[wild Pokémon]] hiding in long grass. If the Pokémon that is found is [[fainting|knocked out]] or {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in a [[Poké Ball]], a ''chain'' will begin. These chains consist of multiple members of the same [[Pokémon]] species encountered one after another. The only catch is this: a player must not encounter any Pokémon just by walking through non-wiggling grass, only by walking into the grass that shakes. Therefore, it is recommended that [[Repel]] is used in order to ensure this and achieve a higher chain. Entering the same type of grassy patch the chain was started in that is the farthest away increases the chances of meeting the same kind of Pokémon consecutively. Long chains increase the chance of finding a {{Shiny}} Pokémon, which is indicated by the patch of grass glowing white twice rather than shaking. In [[Generation IV]], long grass does not shake when the Poké Radar is used.

==Alternative areas==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Long rustling grass; tall flowers; missing overworld sprites of long grass and seaweed from Generation VI}}
{{bad image|picture|dark long grass for spring and summer are duplicates, even though they shouldn't be}}
===Long grass===
[[File:Long grass.png|thumb|200px|Long grass on Route 119]]
Some areas in the [[Pokémon world]] have taller patches of grass than usual. These patches of grass have grown longer and more widespread than the usual grass patches, containing different species of Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was impossible to ride a [[bicycle]] through this type of grass (and impossible to run through it in [[Generation III]]). Some Trainers hide in the long grass patches, concealing themselves from view and surprising the player to a battle. Long grass was introduced in [[Generation II]]. In [[Johto]], it appears in [[National Park]]; in [[Hoenn]], it appears on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and {{rt|120|Hoenn}}; in [[Sinnoh]], it appears on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}; in [[Unova]], it appears on {{rt|7|Unova}}; and in [[Kalos]], it appears on {{rt|6|Kalos}} and {{rt|16|Kalos}}.

In Generation V, long grass can be normal or dark, and behaves just like standard grass: normal long grass can [[Phenomenon#Rustling grass|rustle]], while dark long grass may cause double wild encounters to occur.

===Seaweed===
[[File:Dive III OW.png|thumb|200px|Patch of seaweed]]
Seaweed is located [[underwater]] in [[Hoenn]] as an underwater equivalent to tall grass on land. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, seaweed can be found underwater on [[Route]]s {{rtn|124|Hoenn}} and {{rtn|126|Hoenn}}. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it appears underwater on [[Route]]s {{rtn|107|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|124|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|126|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|128|Hoenn}}, {{rtn|129|Hoenn}}, and {{rtn|130|Hoenn}}. The chance of encountering Pokémon in seaweed is lower than that of tall grass.

===Dark grass===
This type of grass is exclusive to [[Generation V]]. In dark grass, not only are Pokémon found usually at much higher levels than those in regular grass, but there is a chance of encountering two wild Pokémon at a time, in a [[Double Battle]]. Pokémon encountered in dark grass are often similar to those found in normal grass areas of the route, but not identical (in particular, Pokémon encountered in dark grass may be slightly [[catch rate|more difficult to catch]]). Often, Pokémon which are rare in normal grass are more common in dark grass.

Patches of dark grass are typically separated from patches of normal grass. Dark grass does not rustle. There is also long dark grass, which behaves like both types of grass simultaneously.

===Rustling grass===
{{main|Phenomenon#Rustling grass|Phenomenon}}
Rustling grass is found in [[Generation V]], in virtually any area with patches of tall grass. Occasionally, a patch of grass can be seen shaking. Entering such a patch triggers a battle with a wild Pokémon. The Pokémon found in rustling grass differ from route to route, but all areas (except Route 19) contain {{p|Audino}}. In most areas, it is possible to encounter in rustling grass the evolved forms of Pokémon found in regular grass. Regular tall grass has a chance to start rustling for every step the player takes. Rustling grass will stop shaking if the player enters a battle, or if they leave the area (even if that specific grass patch remains on the screen). Dark grass does not rustle.

|}

===Flowers===
Generation VI introduces flowers as an alternate grass tile. Flowers may be found on Routes {{rtn|4|Kalos}}, {{rtn|7|Kalos}}, {{rtn|8|Kalos}}, {{rtn|10|Kalos}}, {{rtn|12|Kalos}}, {{rtn|15|Kalos}}, {{rtn|16|Kalos}}, {{rtn|18|Kalos}}, {{rtn|19|Kalos}}, {{rtn|20|Kalos}}, {{rtn|21|Kalos}}, and {{rtn|22|Kalos}}, along with the [[Pokémon Village]], and can be yellow, red, or purple. The Pokémon that can be found in one color of flowers may be different than those found in another color or in tall grass; especially with {{p|Flabébé}} (whose flower generally matches which patch it is found in).

==In battle==
Certain moves have special effects when used in a battle on a grass tile.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it will [[Form_differences#Arceus|change type]] when it is holding a [[Plate]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which was never distributed at any official event. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010 and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] in 2012.

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type, which depends on the [[plate]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration. According to legend, it has 1000 arms.

Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Arceus (M12)]]====
{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
An Arceus is set to appear in [[M18]]. It is currently unknown if it can change plates like the one as seen from above or the actual Arceus from M12.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen or named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus's body to appear around their bodies.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Fire Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Fire-type Arceus in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Arceus appears as a Poké Ball summon in the 3DS version of the game. It will use {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.
====Trophy information====
''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

==Trivia==

* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. The announcer of {{g|Battle Revolution}} pronounced it "AR-see-uss". A promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' used the pronunciation "ar-SAY-us", a pronunciation supported by the katakana used to spell its name. In the final release of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it was pronounced "AR-key-us", which was affirmed as the official pronunciation by a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag and by the [[Pokémon Essential Handbook]].
** According to [[Tom Wayland]], the "AR-key-us" pronunciation was used due to concerns over the {{wp|arse|implications}} behind the first syllable of "AR-see-uss" in the UK and other British English-speaking territories.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and all Pokémon without [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]].
** Arceus has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all non-Mega Evolved Normal-type Pokémon.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon at the end of a [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that does not have a base stat total of 600.
* In the Generation IV games, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable as there is no [[Plate]].
* Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed {{STAB}} for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself.
[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]].
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two different trios, being the master of both the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype. However, starting in the Generation V games, it will only fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype holding a Plate or targeting a Pokémon holding a Plate.
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Until {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's Plate variations were not recognized as [[form differences]] by the Pokédex. The same was true for {{p|Genesect}} and {{p|Furfrou}}.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (god)|Apis}}. Based on its official artwork and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the circle arc used to represent reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami-no-Mikoto|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Account|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''{{wp|arch}}'' (referring to the highest point), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''arcanus'' (Latin for ''secret/sacred mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane).

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences|second form]] activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Prison Bottle}}, which has not been officially revealed. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]].

Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. As Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Palkia}}. Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Roar of Time}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|right|thumb|250px|Dialga in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dialga (movie)]]====
{{mov|Dialga}} appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

====Other====
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.

A Dialga is set to appear in [[M18]], along with the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]], the [[Tao trio]], the [[Eon duo]], {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}. Similar to the Dialga said above, it is unknown if this is the actual Dialga from the Movies.

===Minor appearances===
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

[[Primal Dialga|An evil Dialga]] made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the Time Gear.

Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Dialga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Dialga in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Dialga (movie)}}
Dialga first appeared in ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}'' where it was fighting with {{mov|Palkia}}.

In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, it was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]]. In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the collapsing Tower, they must beat partial Primal Dialga in battle, who has almost completely turned Primal, and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Dialga appears in the optional Ranger Net extra mission Pledge to Arceus. It must be captured along with its counterparts Palkia and Giratina in the Sky Fortress to access Arceus.

* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word ''alga'', seaweed.

===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. Its type is {{t|Steel}} possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamonds}}, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is a alloy from iron and carbon. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from ''diamond''. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time) or ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face).

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

Dialga is the version mascot of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing time.

==Biology==
Dialga is a dark blue {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, three spines on the back of its neck, long claws, and a short tail. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]].

Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. As Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Palkia}}. Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Roar of Time}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|right|thumb|250px|Dialga in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dialga (movie)]]====
{{mov|Dialga}} appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

====Other====
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.

A Dialga is set to appear in [[M18]], along with the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]], the [[Tao trio]], the [[Eon duo]], {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}. Similar to the Dialga said above, it is unknown if this Dialga played the same role as the Dialga from the 3 DP movies.

===Minor appearances===
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

[[Primal Dialga|An evil Dialga]] made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the Time Gear.

Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Dialga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Dialga in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Dialga (movie)}}
Dialga first appeared in ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}'' where it was fighting with {{mov|Palkia}}.

In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, it was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

{{main|Dialga (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]]. In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the collapsing Tower, they must beat partial Primal Dialga in battle, who has almost completely turned Primal, and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Dialga appears in the optional Ranger Net extra mission Pledge to Arceus. It must be captured along with its counterparts Palkia and Giratina in the Sky Fortress to access Arceus.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
* Dialga is the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* Dialga is tied with Blade Forme {{p|Aegislash}} for the highest {{Stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* The spikes on Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses {{m|Roar of Time}}, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an {{Shiny|alternate coloration}} that is [[Primal Dialga|not its Shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Although Dialga is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Dialga is the first Legendary Pokémon to have a role in three different movies.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word ''alga'', seaweed.

===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. Its type is {{t|Steel}} possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamonds}}, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is a alloy from iron and carbon. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from ''diamond''. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time) or ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face).

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

Dialga is the version mascot of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing time.

==Biology==
Dialga is a dark blue {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, three spines on the back of its neck, long claws, and a short tail. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]].

Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. As Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Palkia}}. Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Roar of Time}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|right|thumb|250px|Dialga in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dialga (movie)]]====
{{mov|Dialga}} appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

====Other====
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.

===Minor appearances===
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

[[Primal Dialga|An evil Dialga]] made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the Time Gear.

Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Dialga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Dialga in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Dialga (movie)}}
Dialga first appeared in ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}'' where it was fighting with {{mov|Palkia}}.

In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, it was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

{{main|Dialga (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]]. In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the collapsing Tower, they must beat partial Primal Dialga in battle, who has almost completely turned Primal, and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Dialga appears in the optional Ranger Net extra mission Pledge to Arceus. It must be captured along with its counterparts Palkia and Giratina in the Sky Fortress to access Arceus.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
* Dialga is the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* Dialga is tied with Blade Forme {{p|Aegislash}} for the highest {{Stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* The spikes on Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses {{m|Roar of Time}}, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an {{Shiny|alternate coloration}} that is [[Primal Dialga|not its Shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Although Dialga is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Dialga is the first Legendary Pokémon to have a role in three different movies.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team suggested changing the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word ''alga'', seaweed.

===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. Its type is {{t|Steel}} possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamonds}}, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is a alloy from iron and carbon. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from ''diamond''. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time) or ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face).

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon who was [[Cloning|cloned]] from a {{p|Mew}}.

The story of Mewtwo is chronicled in the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', and its animated counterpart, ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]''; the movie ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and the television special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It made a brief appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}}, notably in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to defeat [[Gary Oak]], and again in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where it escapes from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, a scene also chronicled in ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', and later seen again in ''Mewtwo Returns''.

==History==
===Kanto===
[[File:Young Mewtwo crying.png‎|thumb|left|200px|Young Mewtwo crying as Ambertwo dies]]
Approximately twenty years ago, [[Team Rocket]] discovered that a {{p|Mew}} was living in [[Guyana]]. Many years later, under the orders of the new boss, {{an|Giovanni}}, an expedition team comprised of Team Rocket scientists traveled to the area to search for a fossil of Mew, and succeeded in finding an eyelash belonging to it. Giovanni hired {{an|Dr. Fuji}} to clone Mew for him and create the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Fuji agreed, but only in order to continue his research into cloning his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}.

One month after the discovery of the eyelash, Mewtwo was successfully created and stored at [[New Island]]. At this point, it was still not fully grown and lived in a large tank beside others that contained {{p|Bulbasaur}}two, {{p|Squirtle}}two, {{p|Charmander}}two, and Ambertwo. Fuji and the other scientists thought that Mewtwo was unconscious inside its tube, but it was able to communicate telepathically with Ambertwo and the other clones. However, because the cloning process requires a strong life force, all four other clones died. Before this, it is stated that Mew is said to have an immortal life force, and this is why Mew's DNA sample made a successful clone in Mewtwo.

Over the years, Mewtwo matured and grew confused over its origin and place in the world. After resolving to figure out where it belongs, Mewtwo broke out of its tank. The Team Rocket scientists were happy that they had succeeded in creating the most powerful Pokémon in the world, but that joy turned to horror once Mewtwo retaliated. Realizing that it was just an experiment of mankind, Mewtwo unleashed its fury upon them. Despite the efforts of the security systems that were designed to control it, Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory on New Island and all of the scientists in it.
[[File:Mewtwo in armor.png|thumb|200px|In its robotic suit, under observation by Giovanni]]
Immediately thereafter, Giovanni found Mewtwo and convinced it to help with Team Rocket's goal of controlling the world. Mewtwo's power was focused as well as restrained by a robotic suit of armor as it performed tasks, such as battling for Giovanni in the [[Viridian Gym]] and helping Team Rocket capture Pokémon. Mewtwo eventually became tired of being used by Giovanni. It developed a strong hatred for humans and felt that they were weak and selfish beings who were only interested in power and wealth; it also despised the [[Caught Pokémon|Pokémon who served humans]]. Mewtwo escaped from Giovanni, destroying Team Rocket headquarters in the process, and relocated to its birthplace on New Island and built a castle there.

Mewtwo then issued a challenge to several strong [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including [[Ash Ketchum]]. It used its powers to create a storm that would serve as a test to see who could make it to the island. Only a handful of Trainers decided to brave the storm and arrive, including Ash and {{ashfr}}. Upon revealing itself, Mewtwo challenged the Trainers with its clone Pokémon—{{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Charizard}}—to prove its superiority to human Trainers and the superiority of cloned Pokémon in comparison to trained Pokémon. To do this, Mewtwo used a variation of the {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|Poké Balls}} used by Trainers. Once caught in the Balls, the Trainers' Pokémon were cloned in a downstairs laboratory. However, before Mewtwo could defeat the Trainers and move out into the world, {{OBP|Mew|M01}} appeared. Mew and Mewtwo fought at length, ceasing only when Ash—exasperated over the drawn-out and fruitless battling—ran into the fray and was caught in their crossfire, which turned his body to stone. After Ash was revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experienced a change of heart and no longer sought to conquer the world. Mewtwo reasoned that it would be best if no one remembered the events that had transpired, so it erased the memories of all the people and Pokémon and transported everyone but Team Rocket back to the mainland. Mewtwo and Mew left New Island with the cloned Pokémon to seek a proper place for themselves.

===Johto===
Mewtwo and the clones migrated to [[Johto]] and eventually settled on [[Mount Quena]]. To prevent any encounters with humans, Mewtwo frequently used severe storms to make the mountain inaccessible. One day, a bus full of people was nearly knocked off the road, so Mewtwo decided to use its telekinesis to right the bus and prevent an accident. After its actions were questioned, it explained to its fellow clones that a bus crash would attract even more humans. However, Meowthtwo believed that the act may have also been due to a growing soft spot for humanity, which Mewtwo vehemently denied.

After a few years, Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place using one of Team Rocket's satellites and began a plan to capture it once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash, who did not remember their previous encounter. Giovanni restrained Mewtwo, but Ash and {{ashfr}} helped it to escape and defeat Giovanni. At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories and decided to move throughout the world, searching for the meaning of its life.

In the epilogue to ''Mewtwo Returns'' and in some TV series opening sequences and movie previews, Mewtwo has been seen wearing a plain brown cape and moving across rooftops at night.
{{-}}

==Personality and characteristics==
Throughout the course of the [[M01|first movie]], Mewtwo viewed all humans as its enemy, as [[Team Rocket]]'s boss {{an|Giovanni}} would usually rely on it for his evil deeds. However, since {{Ash}} was petrified by the attacks of both Mewtwo and {{mov|Mew|Mew|01}}, Mewtwo had a change of heart and did everything to make sure that no one remembered what happened.

It had calmed considerably since the events in Kanto, and Mewtwo had grown into a guardian figure for its fellow clones. While it still questioned its place in the world, it felt responsible for its clones and was willing to sacrifice itself in order to keep them safe from harm. Its view on humanity was further changed as Ash helped Mewtwo to Purity Spring, Ash claiming that no one needs a reason to help someone. Mewtwo's outlook on life was further influenced by how the spring affected it, as if the waters had the same restoring effect on it as they did on other Pokémon, then it concluded that the world was its rightful place as well.

After the military operation on Mount Quena came to a head, Mewtwo had initially contemplated on erasing the memories of everyone involved. However, it took {{MTR}}'s speech into consideration, as erasing their memories would prevent the clones from learning about their past, and forgetting would not change the fact that things happen. Mewtwo decided to only erase the memories of Team Rocket—excluding [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth—and departed.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Mewtwo uses {{m|Shadow Ball}}, a move never before seen in any Pokémon media.
* The city that Mewtwo overlooks at the end of ''Mewtwo Returns'' resembles {{wp|New York City}}. Structures similar to the {{wp|Chrysler Building}} and {{wp|MetLife Building}} can be seen in the distance. The narrator refers to it as "a faraway city."
* Mewtwo also had a passing mention in the special ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. When the {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo was created, the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]] claimed "This is not the same Mewtwo that you're all familiar with", possibly meaning that he saw Pikachu's memory of Mewtwo.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing space.

==Biology==
Palkia is a light purple {{wp|theropod}}-like Pokémon with stripes and markings of a darker shade and gray underarms and waist. It has round purple-striped plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted with a gray rim encircling them and fins in their back. Palkia’s arms have extended formations resembling gauntlets and a purple band around each wrist. Palkia has a long neck, a pointed white crest on the top of its head that extends to its wings, two strong horn-like tusks on the sides of its jaw, and a powerful tail. As seen in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia has the ability to warp space, though it was said to create alternate realities as well. Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Dialga}}. It has been known to be very protective of its home as well. Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Spacial Rend}}.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Palkia anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Palkia in the anime]]
====[[Palkia (movie)]]====
Palkia appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with [[Dialga (movie)|Dialga]] and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It was shown in a flashback in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Palkia's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]], and started a battle with them which awoke {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}.

====Other====
Palkia had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Palkia as that in the movies.

Another Palkia is set to appear in M18.

===Minor appearances===
Palkia made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

Palkia made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Palkia Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Palkia in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Palkia (movie)}}
Palkia debuted in ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}'' manga adaptation fighting {{mov|Dialga}}.

In the ''{{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}'' manga adaptation, Palkia, along with the members of its trio, were summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Palkia soon engaged in a battle with the other members of its trio with {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Palkia, along with Dialga, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.

Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, it was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Pearl got on Palkia and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Palkia was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Dialga and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Palkia was kept at bay by Lance and his {{p|Dragonite}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
Palkia appeared in ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' as a silhouette. It officially debuted in ''[[DPA21|Will Hareta's Wish Get Through?!]]''.

===In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga===
Palkia, along with the members of its trio, appeared in [[PBK5]] where it fought against {{OBP|Shin|PBK}}'s {{p|Abomasnow}} and {{p|Mamoswine}} and defeated the latter. It fought against [[Yū Shirogane]] and lost.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Palkia debuted in [[PMDP14]] of {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}.

A Palkia appeared in [[PMDP26]] under the ownership of {{OBP|Kazuki|Pocket Monsters DP}}.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. It only appears on the stage when the ground on the upper levels have a purple tinge to them. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Spatial Pokémon. In the Sinnoh region, this Pokémon has been revered for many generations, much like Dialga. Dialga warps time, but Palkia has control over space. It lives between parallel dimensions and is known for its power, rumored to be able to warp space. It can use {{m|Spacial Rend}} to rip through the very space an enemy resides in, damaging the foe at the same time. It is Pearl's mascot."''

===Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U===
Palkia appears as a Pokémon released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It will use Spacial Rend, which will flip the stage for a time, and can cause damage. Palkia also causes damage on contact.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Stories surround this Legendary Water/ Dragon-type Pokémon, saying that it has control over all of space. Its Spacial Rend attack will tear space and flip the screen upside down. When this happens, the left and right controls of the fighters will become flipped as well. ''

'''PAL''': ''Stories of this Legendary Pokémon say that Palkia is a god that controls all of space. When it uses its Spacial Rend attack in Super Smash Bros., it causes the screen to flip upside down. If that wasn't confusing enough, it also flips the left and right controls!''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Palkia appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Palkia was injured from a battle with Dialga and entered [[Hippowdon Temple]].

==Trivia==
* The gems on Palkia's shoulders resemble Pale [[Sphere]]s.
* {{p|Dialga}}, Palkia and {{p|Giratina}} are the only legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, Dialga appearing at level 47 in Diamond, Palkia appearing at level 47 in Pearl, and Giratina appearing at level 47 in the Distortion World encounter in Platinum.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Palkia, along with [[Primal Dialga]], the [[legendary golems]], the {{p|Magnemite}} family, and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in all capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.

===Origin===
Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} combined with a {{wp|pearl}}. Its appearance may also be derived from the ''{{wp|Plateosaurus}}'' or other bipedal dinosaurs such as the ''{{wp|Oviraptor}}''. Its head crest could be inspired by the ''{{wp|Goblin Shark}}'', especially from it being a water type.

====Name origin====
Palkia is derived from the Japanese spelling of pearl, パール ''pāru''.

'''Gabby''' (Japanese: '''マリ''' ''Mari'') and '''Ty''' (Japanese: '''ダイ''' ''Dai'') are a pair of co-workers who can be found {{tc|Interviewers|interviewing}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s all over [[Hoenn]]. Gabby is an interviewer and Ty is her trusty cameraman.

==In the games==
Gabby and Ty appear on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, or {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. When spoken to, they will battle the {{player}}, then conduct a short interview. In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], the interview may be answered using the [[easy chat system]], while in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it may be answered with a custom text input. The results of the battle will later be broadcast on [[Hoenn TV]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Hoenn TV|TV Mauville]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after they are defeated, Gabby and Ty will relocate to their next location. After the player defeats them 255 times, though, they will stay on Route 111 permanently and will no longer move after being defeated. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Gabby and Ty will not relocate until the player gives them an interview.

Gabby and Ty also make a brief appearance when they interview [[Captain Stern]] when he announces his underwater exploration and they leave prior to Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} stealing his submarine.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Gabby Ty Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Gabby and Ty in [[Pokémon Adventures]]'s {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}]]
Gabby and Ty are featured as important supporting characters in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga; in the Chuang Yi translation, they are called '''Maryann''' and '''Tyler'''. They worked at a TV station run by [[Archie]], unknown to most of the public as the leader of [[Team Aqua]].

At first, they met {{adv|Sapphire}} when she had to fetch [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} from being stuck in a fountain. Gabby offered to interview Sapphire, but the girl said she didn't like TV and refused. The whole thing was a plot by Team Aqua to kidnap the president of [[Devon Corporation]]. Mr. Stone was injured in the attack, and Castform was left with Gabby and Ty. They discovered that the criminals were really after the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} needed by [[Captain Stern]].

Despite their insistence that Mr. Stone had been attacked by men dressed like pirates, Archie ran the story that he was actually injured by wild Pokémon.

Gabby and Ty tracked down Captain Stern and explained the situation to him. [[Norman]] happened to be there as well, looking for his son, {{adv|Ruby}}, who had saved Captain Stern from Team Magma members. Norman discovered where Ruby had last been, and Gabby and Ty decided to follow him.

They tracked Norman and Ruby to the [[Weather Institute]] on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The area was experiencing heavy rainfall. Norman and Ruby were engaged in a rough and dangerous battle on the slippery staircases of the Weather Institute. Gabby pleaded with Castform to do something, so the little Pokémon used {{m|Sunny Day}} to clear up the weather. Although it stopped the battle, Ruby and Norman nearly plummeted to their deaths, but were saved at the last moment by Ruby's [[Running Shoes]].

Ruby and Norman resolved their conflict and the duo drove the young [[Pokémon Coordinator]] to the [[Rank (Contest)|Normal Rank]] [[Contest Hall|Contest House]] in [[Verdanturf Town]], as Norman was called back to his Gym by [[Winona]]. Castform had been lonely ever since Mr. Stone had been hurt, so Gabby decided to give it to Ruby.

Gabby, Ruby, and Ty all saw a mysterious {{p|Absol}} near [[Rusturf Tunnel]] before Ruby ended up in another conflict with [[Team Magma]]. Gabby and Ty then drove Ruby to the other Contest House in [[Fallarbor Town]] and discovered that [[Mt. Chimney]] had recently gone dead. While Ruby was taking part in the Contests, they went to [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory to investigate the events. To their shock, they discovered that for some reason, their TV station refused to report this big news to the public.

Gabby called her boss to ask why this news story wasn't being covered, but [[Archie]] said he didn't want to cause the public to panic. Confused, the two interviewers parted ways with Ruby to investigate the Hoenn crisis further.

Gabby and Ty returned to their Hoenn TV headquarters in [[Lilycove City]]; there they witnessed Archie and [[Maxie]] battling each other. Gabby finally realized that Archie was the head of Team Aqua and had been airing exaggerated news of Team Magma's deeds while refusing to address Team Aqua's actions. Later, Absol took them to Sootopolis.

Gabby and Ty were also seen in the {{chap|Emerald}}, on a ship heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

==Trivia==
* As Gabby's Whismur levels up, it evolves into Loudred and then Exploud. The highest level it reaches is 39, but Loudred does not evolve into Exploud [[underleveled|until level 40]].
* In the sixth battle and onwards, Gabby and Ty have an Exploud that has learned Hyper Voice at level 39, but Exploud cannot learn this move until level 63 (nor can Whismur and Loudred, as they learn this move at levels 45 and 57, respectively).
** This move, however, can be learned at this level through {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* If Gabby and Ty are battled enough times, they will eventually stop changing locations, but will continue to battle the player.
* Gabby shares some physical similarities with a {{OBP|reporter|Orange Islands}} from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

'''Gabby''' (Japanese: '''マリ''' ''Mari'') and '''Ty''' (Japanese: '''ダイ''' ''Dai'') are a pair of co-workers who can be found {{tc|Interviewers|interviewing}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}s all over [[Hoenn]]. Gabby is an interviewer and Ty is her trusty cameraman.

==In the games==
Gabby and Ty appear on {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, or {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. When spoken to, they will battle the {{player}}, then conduct a short interview. In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], the interview may be answered using the [[easy chat system]], while in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it may be answered with a custom text input. The results of the battle will later be broadcast on [[Hoenn TV]]{{sup/3|RSE}}/[[Hoenn TV|TV Mauville]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after they are defeated, Gabby and Ty will relocate to their next location. After the player defeats them 255 times, though, they will stay on Route 111 permanently and will no longer move after being defeated. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Gabby and Ty will not relocate until the player gives them an interview.

Gabby and Ty also make a brief appearance when they interview [[Captain Stern]] when he announces his underwater exploration and they leave prior to Team Magma{{sup/3|R}}{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|S}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}} stealing his submarine.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Gabby Ty Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Gabby and Ty in [[Pokémon Adventures]]'s {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}]]
Gabby and Ty are featured as important supporting characters in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga; in the Chuang Yi translation, they are called '''Maryann''' and '''Tyler'''. They worked at a TV station run by [[Archie]], unknown to most of the public as the leader of [[Team Aqua]].

At first, they met {{adv|Sapphire}} when she had to fetch [[Mr. Stone]]'s {{p|Castform}} from being stuck in a fountain. Gabby offered to interview Sapphire, but the girl said she didn't like TV and refused. The whole thing was a plot by Team Aqua to kidnap the president of [[Devon Corporation]]. Mr. Stone was injured in the attack, and Castform was left with Gabby and Ty. They discovered that the criminals were really after the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} needed by [[Captain Stern]].

Despite their insistence that Mr. Stone had been attacked by men dressed like pirates, Archie ran the story that he was actually injured by wild Pokémon.

Gabby and Ty tracked down Captain Stern and explained the situation to him. [[Norman]] happened to be there as well, looking for his son, {{adv|Ruby}}, who had saved Captain Stern from Team Magma members. Norman discovered where Ruby had last been, and Gabby and Ty decided to follow him.

They tracked Norman and Ruby to the [[Weather Institute]] on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The area was experiencing heavy rainfall. Norman and Ruby were engaged in a rough and dangerous battle on the slippery staircases of the Weather Institute. Gabby pleaded with Castform to do something, so the little Pokémon used {{m|Sunny Day}} to clear up the weather. Although it stopped the battle, Ruby and Norman nearly plummeted to their deaths, but were saved at the last moment by Ruby's [[Running Shoes]].

Ruby and Norman resolved their conflict and the duo drove the young [[Pokémon Coordinator]] to the [[Rank (Contest)|Normal Rank]] [[Contest Hall|Contest House]] in [[Verdanturf Town]], as Norman was called back to his Gym by [[Winona]]. Castform had been lonely ever since Mr. Stone had been hurt, so Gabby decided to give it to Ruby.

Gabby, Ruby, and Ty all saw a mysterious {{p|Absol}} near [[Rusturf Tunnel]] before Ruby ended up in another conflict with [[Team Magma]]. Gabby and Ty then drove Ruby to the other Contest House in [[Fallarbor Town]] and discovered that [[Mt. Chimney]] had recently gone dead. While Ruby was taking part in the Contests, they went to [[Professor Cozmo]]'s laboratory to investigate the events. To their shock, they discovered that for some reason, their TV station refused to report this big news to the public.

Gabby called her boss to ask why this news story wasn't being covered, but [[Archie]] said he didn't want to cause the public to panic. Confused, the two interviewers parted ways with Ruby to investigate the Hoenn crisis further.

Gabby and Ty returned to their Hoenn TV headquarters in [[Lilycove City]]; there they witnessed Archie and [[Maxie]] battling each other. Gabby finally realized that Archie was the head of Team Aqua and had been airing exaggerated news of Team Magma's deeds while refusing to address Team Aqua's actions. Later, Absol took them to Sootopolis.

Gabby and Ty were also seen in the {{chap|Emerald}}, on a ship heading to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

==Trivia==
* As Gabby's Whismur levels up, it evolves into Loudred and then Exploud. The highest level it reaches is 39, but Loudred does not evolve into Exploud [[underleveled|until level 40]].
* In the sixth battle and onwards, Gabby and Ty have an Exploud that has learned Hyper Voice at level 39, but Exploud cannot learn this move until level 63 (nor can Whismur and Loudred, as they learn this move at levels 45 and 57, respectively).
** This move, however, can be learned at this level through {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* If Gabby and Ty are battled enough times, they will eventually stop changing locations, but will continue to battle the player.
* Gabby shares some physical similarities with a {{OBP|reporter|Orange Islands}} from the {{pkmn|anime}}.

'''Phantom Force''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストダイブ''' ''Ghost Dive'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It can be seen as a weaker version of {{m|Shadow Force}}.

==Effect==
Phantom Force causes the user to "vanish" on the turn it is selected, rendering it semi-invulnerable, and then reappear the next turn to cause damage. It will hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Spiky Shield}}, {{m|King's Shield}}, or {{m|Mat Block}}, and lifts the effects of those moves for the remainder of the turn; if it hits a target that is protected by Mat Block, it removes Mat Block from the target's side of the field. It also removes the effects of {{m|Quick Guard}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, and {{m|Crafty Shield}} from the target's side of the field. The user of Phantom Force does not suffer the negative effects of its target's Spiky Shield or King's Shield. Phantom Force cannot remove the effects of protecting moves if it does not affect the target (such as if the target is {{type|Normal}}).

In addition, if the target has used {{m|Minimize}}, Phantom Force will never miss and its base power is doubled.

If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Power Herb}} is held by the user, Phantom Force can be executed in one turn.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Ghost}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|XY}}{{gameabbrev3|ORAS}}|The user vanishes somewhere, then strikes the target on the next turn. This move hits even if the target protects itself.}}

==Trivia==
* Phantom Force's secondary effects are combination of many moves:
** It is a two-turn move with a semi-invulnerable turn, similar to {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}.
** It can break shield-like effects, similar to {{m|Feint}}.
** Its power is doubled when used against {{m|Minimize|Minimized}} Pokémon, similar to {{m|Steamroller}} and {{m|Stomp}}.
* It is the only Cool Ghost-Type move in ORAS.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it will [[Form_differences#Arceus|change type]] when it is holding a [[Plate]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which was never distributed at any official event. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010 and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] in 2012.

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type, which depends on the [[plate]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration. According to legend, it has 1000 arms.

Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Arceus (M12)]]====
{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
An Arceus is set to appear in [[M18]]. It is currently unknown if it can change plates like the one as seen from above.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen or named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus's body to appear around their bodies.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Fire Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Fire-type Arceus in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Arceus appears as a Poké Ball summon in the 3DS version of the game. It will use {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.
====Trophy information====
''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

==Trivia==

* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. The announcer of {{g|Battle Revolution}} pronounced it "AR-see-uss". A promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' used the pronunciation "ar-SAY-us", a pronunciation supported by the katakana used to spell its name. In the final release of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it was pronounced "AR-key-us", which was affirmed as the official pronunciation by a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag and by the [[Pokémon Essential Handbook]].
** According to [[Tom Wayland]], the "AR-key-us" pronunciation was used due to concerns over the {{wp|arse|implications}} behind the first syllable of "AR-see-uss" in the UK and other British English-speaking territories.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and all Pokémon without [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]].
** Arceus has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all non-Mega Evolved Normal-type Pokémon.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon at the end of a [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that does not have a base stat total of 600.
* In the Generation IV games, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable as there is no [[Plate]].
* Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed {{STAB}} for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself.
[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]].
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two different trios, being the master of both the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype. However, starting in the Generation V games, it will only fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype holding a Plate or targeting a Pokémon holding a Plate.
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Until {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's Plate variations were not recognized as [[form differences]] by the Pokédex. The same was true for {{p|Genesect}} and {{p|Furfrou}}.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (god)|Apis}}. Based on its official artwork and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the circle arc used to represent reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami-no-Mikoto|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Account|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''{{wp|arch}}'' (referring to the highest point), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''arcanus'' (Latin for ''secret/sacred mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane).

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it will [[Form_differences#Arceus|change type]] when it is holding a [[Plate]].

Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]]. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the [[Azure Flute]], which was never distributed at any official event. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010 and the [[Pokémon Global Link]] in 2012.

It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

==Biology==
Arceus is a white equine resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type, which depends on the [[plate]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration. According to legend, it has 1000 arms.

Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Arceus (M12)]]====
{{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} made its debut in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.

=====Other=====
An Arceus is set to appear in [[M12]]. It is currently unknown if it can change plates like the one as seen from above.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', although Arceus is neither seen or named, the [[Red Chain]] is said to contain the power of 'The Original One'. Using the Red Chain, Cyrus takes control of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} by causing a red ring similar to the one surrounding Arceus's body to appear around their bodies.

==In the manga==
[[File:Arceus Fire Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Fire-type Arceus in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Arceus appears as a Poké Ball summon in the 3DS version of the game. It will use {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.
====Trophy information====
''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! ''

==Trivia==

* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. The announcer of {{g|Battle Revolution}} pronounced it "AR-see-uss". A promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' used the pronunciation "ar-SAY-us", a pronunciation supported by the katakana used to spell its name. In the final release of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it was pronounced "AR-key-us", which was affirmed as the official pronunciation by a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag and by the [[Pokémon Essential Handbook]].
** According to [[Tom Wayland]], the "AR-key-us" pronunciation was used due to concerns over the {{wp|arse|implications}} behind the first syllable of "AR-see-uss" in the UK and other British English-speaking territories.
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon and all Pokémon without [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]].
** Arceus has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all non-Mega Evolved Normal-type Pokémon.
* Arceus is the only Pokémon at the end of a [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that does not have a base stat total of 600.
* In the Generation IV games, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable as there is no [[Plate]].
* Arceus's [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed {{STAB}} for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself.
[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]].
** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two different trios, being the master of both the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].
* In Generation IV, {{m|Trick}} and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype. However, starting in the Generation V games, it will only fail if used by a Pokémon with Multitype holding a Plate or targeting a Pokémon holding a Plate.
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.
* Until {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's Plate variations were not recognized as [[form differences]] by the Pokédex. The same was true for {{p|Genesect}} and {{p|Furfrou}}.

===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (god)|Apis}}. Based on its official artwork and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the circle arc used to represent reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kunitokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami-no-Mikoto|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Account|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

====Name origin====
Arceus may be a combination of ''{{wp|arch}}'' (referring to the highest point), ''{{wp|archon}}'' (a Greek word that means "ruler" or "lord"), ''arcanus'' (Latin for ''secret/sacred mystery''), ''archaic'' (ancient), αρχή ''arkhē'' (Greek for ''beginning''), or ''archetypus'' (Latin for ''original''), and ''{{wp|deus}}'' (Latin for ''god''). It may also derive from ''[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]'' (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), ''[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]'' (round or ring), or ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane).

'''Kyurem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キュレム''' ''Kyurem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ice}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has [[Form differences#Kyurem|two other formes]], which are activated by using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} on it and either {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}, resulting in a process called Absofusion that removes Reshiram or Zekrom from the party until the fusion is undone. It will then become '''White Kyurem''' (with Reshiram) or '''Black Kyurem''' (with Zekrom). However, it is impossible to own a White Kyurem and a Black Kyurem at the same time, as the game rejects the second fusion of Kyurem with Reshiram/Zekrom.

Along with Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

As both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, it is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], respectively.

==Biology==
Kyurem is a gray and blue, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis. Kyurem has a blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull. Three pointed teeth jut out the bottom of either side of its jaws, which are frozen shut by the ice covering its head. Its long, gray neck has lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail. It has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its oddly shaped blue wings, which are believed to be used for flying and storing cold air. Each wing has two spikes of ice. The ice covering the wings can break, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on Kyurem's back. The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left. Its legs are somewhat slender, and has three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot. Its tail has three blue conical spikes on its tip, and appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.

Kyurem has two alternate forms, White Kyurem and Black Kyurem, which are formed by combining with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, respectively, and share many aspects of their designs with them. It can use Absofusion on their respective [[Dragon Stones]] to change to White or Black Kyurem. When transformed into either, its legs are just like before, but shorter and the middle toe is now ice. As White Kyurem, it has some extra icy details on the legs. Its tail resembles that of Reshiram or Zekrom, but they are attached to the body with three gray parts of skin. The tail is capable of movement and contains four holes: they are horizontal on White Kyurem and vertical on Black Kyurem. The torsos of each form are similar, but White Kyurem's torso is more slim than Black Kyurem's bulky torso. Its shoulders are covered in 'squares' of ice with two pins protruding from each which can come out and 'plug in' the aforementioned holes. As White Kyurem, it has thin arms with two rings and three claws each, wings between the rings on its forearms, and its right arm and wing are frozen. As Black Kyurem, it has Zekrom's arms, but more muscular and without wings, and its left arm and wing are frozen. Its neck is the same shape, but is now upright; White Kyurem uses Reshiram's fur and Black Kyurem uses Zekrom's skin. In both forms, the ice covering one of Kyurem's jaws (upper for White Kyurem, lower for Black Kyurem) has partially disappeared, allowing it to move its mouth.

Kyurem generates a powerful, freezing energy inside itself, but its body became frozen when the energy leaked out. Due to an old legend, it may be assumed Kyurem may be hostile towards Pokémon and humans, due to the fact it supposedly ate them if they were found outside at night. Kyurem is said to be an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]] according to folklore. It is the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Glaciate}}, while its alternate forms White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can respectively learn {{m|Ice Burn}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} instead. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem can also learn Reshiram's and Zekrom's signature moves {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Fusion Bolt}}, respectively.

===Major appearances===
====[[Kyurem (M15)]]====
Kyurem, in all of its forms, made its debut as one of the stars of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion]] and {{OBP|Keldeo|M15}}. Kyurem was challenged by Keldeo, who wasn't ready to fight Kyurem, but arrogantly claimed that he was a [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Sword of Justice]]. After the terrified Keldeo fled during the middle of the fight, Kyurem relentlessly pursues Keldeo in order to finish the battle they had started. Along with the other legendary Pokémon present in the movie, Kyurem can [[Talking Pokémon|speak through telepathy]].

=====Other=====
A Kyurem is set to appear in [[M18]]. However, unlike the Kyurem from the movie, it can?t change into Black Kyurem nor White Kyurem.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''While this Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon is definitely a Pokémon, some believe it is what remained after Reshiram and Zekrom were split apart. In battle, it will generate incredibly cold energy and then unleash it using Icy Wind. This move will deal constant damage before freezing opponents. ''

'''PAL''': ''Kyurem is thought to be an empty shell left behind when Reshiram and Zekrom split into two. Its icy energy is so powerful that it can freeze its own body. When Kyurem has built up enough energy, it can unleash Icy Wind, shooting spirals of cold left and right. After damaging fighters, this attack with leave them frozen. ''

* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem have the highest [[Base stats|base stat]] total of all Ice-type Pokémon.
* White Kyurem has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. Black Kyurem has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of all Ice-type Pokémon.
* White Kyurem is the tallest Ice-type Pokémon and the tallest Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
* Unlike most Pokémon with no evolutionary relatives, Kyurem can learn a move—{{m|Imprison}}—twice with neither instance being at level 1. It shares this trait with {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 660.
* Kyurem is the only member of the Tao trio that cannot learn its {{m|Ice Fang|respective}} {{DL|Move variations|Elemental Fangs|Elemental Fang}}.
* Although several Pokémon are the result of two or more individuals combining ({{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Weezing}}), White Kyurem and Black Kyurem are the only ones to be shown doing so in the [[core series]] games. They are also the only fusions that are not part of a Pokémon's [[evolution]] and are the only fusions which have been shown to be reversible.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon to be the version mascot of both versions of a paired version.
* Despite being larger when fused, both fused forms are lighter than the Pokémon it's fused with.
* Kyurem has the most separate cries used in-game, with five. It has one for each forme and two longer cries that play in stereo.
* Kyurem is the only Pokémon that can fuse with another Pokémon.
* White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]].

===Origin===
Kyurem and its two counterparts {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Kyurem, however, symbolizes {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}}, the absence of yin and yang. In regards to overall design, it appears to be based on a {{wp|theropod}} and a {{wp|European dragon}}, similar to Zekrom. Its arms in particular seem to be influenced by ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus rex}}''. Kyurem's type, {{t|Ice}}, may allude to the absence of energy and the concept of {{wp|absolute zero}}. Kyurem's rock-like body and its origin story of arriving on Earth like a meteor are references to comets, which are largely composed of ice crystals.

Given that its Japanese name contains mu, it may be based on the {{wp|koan}} {{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}.

====Name origin====
Kyurem may be a combination of 冷 ''rei'' (cold), 急冷 ''kyuurei'' (rapid cooling), or 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) with the {{wp|kana}} reversed, and 無 ''{{wp|Mu (negative)|mu}}'' (nothing). It may also derive from 零 ''rei'' (zero). ''Rem'' may also mimic the ''rom'' of {{p|Zekrom}} and the ''ram'' of {{p|Reshiram}}.

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

Zekrom is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

{{p|Kyurem}} will become [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]] upon using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} to fuse with Zekrom.

==Biology==
[[File:644Zekrom-Activated.png|thumb|left|230px|Zekrom's tail turbine activated]]
Zekrom is a black, bipedal Pokémon resembling a dragon or dinosaur, with dark patches on various portions of its body. It has red scleras, white irises, and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels.

Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought for ideals. It is a genderless species. It is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Bolt Strike}}, though it is commonly associated with the move {{m|Fusion Bolt}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Zekrom appears on the {{st|Unova Pokémon League}} stage, where it will cover itself in a ball of lightning and hit the stage. Any fighters it touches will be damaged and if it hits the side of the stage, the stage will be tipped. It will also destroy the steps attached to the stage, if there are any.

====Trophy information====
''Zekrom's jet-black body contrasts sharply with the pure white of Reshiram, but the two do have some similarities: both are Legendary Pokémon said to have world- destroying powers. Zekrom's tail acts as a generator that can scorch the world with lightning, but it is said to assist those who wish to build an ideal world.''

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|thumb|200px|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Reshiram}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's [[type]], [[Shōko Nakagawa]] spoke about her love of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that because of that, she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
* Zekrom has the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat, {{stat|Defense}} base stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Pokémon introduced in Generation V and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom, as well as {{p|Reshiram}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Although Zekrom has a {{Shiny}} palette, [[Pokémon Black and White]] are programmed so that a Shiny Zekrom cannot be encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Victini}}. However in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, it is possible to encounter a Shiny Zekrom.
* Zekrom is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White.<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/24213/what-is-ken-sugimoris-favourite-pokmon/ What is Ken Sugimori's favourite Pokémon?]</ref>

===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese species: the Black Yin Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design. While the black design matches Zekrom's yin species names (yin being characterized by dark), its masculine design contrasts with yin (yin being characterized as feminine). Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as {{wp|Allosaurus}} or {{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}, and a {{wp|European dragon}}. The crest on its head is based on a thundercloud. The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Zekrom can be taken to resemble {{wp|Angra Mainyu}}, as opposed to Reshiram resembling {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, although Zekrom is not evil; rather it is an equally powerful opposing legendary Pokémon.

====Name origin====
Zekrom is derived from 黒 ''kuro'' (black). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Ze'' was used because it was a harder, stronger sound than {{p|Reshiram}}'s ''Re'', and Zekrom is a "powerful, strong character."<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

'''Zekrom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼクロム''' ''Zekrom'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Electric}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

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

Zekrom is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] Region.

{{p|Kyurem}} will become [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black Kyurem]] upon using the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} to fuse with Zekrom.

==Biology==
[[File:644Zekrom-Activated.png|thumb|left|230px|Zekrom's tail turbine activated]]
Zekrom is a black, bipedal Pokémon resembling a dragon or dinosaur, with dark patches on various portions of its body. It has red scleras, white irises, and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. There are two pairs of pointed teeth visible when its mouth is open, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding, and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike" on one edge. The lower length of Zekrom's arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of Zekrom's waist is black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels.

Zekrom's tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion. This tail produces energy for its attacks and emits an anti-gravity field, allowing Zekrom to fly through the air with minimal effects from aerodynamic resistance and gravity. It can cause several thunderstorms in one area, and it normally hides in thunderclouds. In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, Zekrom sided with the younger brother who sought for ideals. It is a genderless species. It is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Bolt Strike}}, though it is commonly associated with the move {{m|Fusion Bolt}}.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Zekrom appears on the {{st|Unova Pokémon League}} stage, where it will cover itself in a ball of lightning and hit the stage. Any fighters it touches will be damaged and if it hits the side of the stage, the stage will be tipped. It will also destroy the steps attached to the stage, if there are any.

====Trophy information====
''Zekrom's jet-black body contrasts sharply with the pure white of Reshiram, but the two do have some similarities: both are Legendary Pokémon said to have world- destroying powers. Zekrom's tail acts as a generator that can scorch the world with lightning, but it is said to assist those who wish to build an ideal world.''

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|thumb|200px|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Zekrom was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Reshiram}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* On May 31, 2010, two weeks prior to the official revelation of Zekrom's [[type]], [[Shōko Nakagawa]] spoke about her love of {{type|Electric}} Pokémon on her blog and mentioned that because of that, she wanted to get a Zekrom. This statement was then quickly removed.
* Zekrom has the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat, {{stat|Defense}} base stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Pokémon introduced in Generation V and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Zekrom, as well as {{p|Reshiram}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.
* Although Zekrom has a {{Shiny}} palette, [[Pokémon Black and White]] are programmed so that a Shiny Zekrom cannot be encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Victini}}. However in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, it is possible to encounter a Shiny Zekrom.
* Zekrom is [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White.<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/24213/what-is-ken-sugimoris-favourite-pokmon/ What is Ken Sugimori's favourite Pokémon?]</ref>

===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese species: the Black Yin Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design. While the black design matches Zekrom's yin species names (yin being characterized by dark), its masculine design contrasts with yin (yin being characterized as feminine). Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as {{wp|Allosaurus}} or {{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}, and a {{wp|European dragon}}. The crest on its head is based on a thundercloud. The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Zekrom can be taken to resemble {{wp|Angra Mainyu}}, as opposed to Reshiram resembling {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, although Zekrom is not evil; rather it is an equally powerful opposing legendary Pokémon.

Zekrom is derived from 黒 ''kuro'' (black). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Ze'' was used because it was a harder, stronger sound than {{p|Reshiram}}'s ''Re'', and Zekrom is a "powerful, strong character."<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI

[[File:ORAS_Pokedex.png|thumb|160px|right|[[Hoenn]] region's Pokédex (Generation VI)]]

The Hoenn Pokédex listing for {{2v2|Omega Ruby|Alpha Sapphire}} mainly follows the concept of [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|the original Hoenn Pokédex]]. However, aside from the addition of the {{type|Fairy}}, the only major difference from the original Hoenn Pokédex is that 9 new Pokémon, which were originally found in the [[Sinnoh]] region as a pre-evolution, evolution, or branched-evolution of certain Pokémon found in the Hoenn region, are now added to the new Hoenn listing as well. While the new Hoenn Dex listing follows the original listing up to #031 ({{p|Gardevoir}}), it diverges starting at #032 ({{p|Gallade}}).

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The new games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014; with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.



==Pre-release information==
According to the press release that announced the games, the new titles will take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world.<ref name="youtube announcement">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywGSON9tNq0 Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire -- November 2014!"]</ref> The first footage from the game, a cutscene showing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} manipulating the weather via their respective Abilities, was revealed three days after the games' first announcement.<ref name="youtube first footage">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00DyEDmQ83s Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire—Sneak Peek Footage"]</ref> One month after the games' announcement, it was revealed that Groudon and Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion becoming Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, respectively.<ref name="primal legendaries">[[n:Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced|Bulbanews: "Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced"]]</ref>

A number of features introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} that had since been discontinued will return in these games. [[Pokémon Contests]] and customizable [[Secret Base]]s (now "Super Secret Bases") will return for the first time since {{game|Platinum}},<ref name="Secret Bases">[[n:Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Bulbanews: "Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire"]]</ref> while the [[Mach Bike]], the [[Acro Bike]], and third-generation [[player character]]s [[Brendan]] and [[May]] will return for the first time since {{game|Emerald}}.<ref name="CoroCoro July">[[n:CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed|Bulbanews: "CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed"]]</ref> {{p|Feebas}} will resume a Contest-specific evolution method.<ref name="August Update">[[n:Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions|Bulbanews: Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions]]</ref> In addition, a number of features introduced in {{g|X and Y}} will also return, with [[Horde Encounter]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s already confirmed to be part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with the Horde Encounter feature expanding into [[Horde Encounter|Trainer Horde Battle]]s. At least ten new [[Mega Evolution]]s will debut in this game, including Mega {{p|Sceptile}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Diancie}}, Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Altaria}}, Mega {{p|Lopunny}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Audino}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}}. The [[PokéNav]] will be redesigned as the PokéNav Plus, a device appearing on the touch screen outside of battle. The [[PokéNav Plus]] has four main functions — [[DexNav]], which displays information about wild Pokémon available in the player's current location; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}, a map used for navigation of location, Pokémon, Secret Bases and Berry Trees; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}, which reports on news from around the Hoenn region and from StreetPass; and {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}, which is used to connect to online play, local wireless play, [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]].

The August edition of ''CoroCoro'' magazine introduced [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This special Pikachu is given to the player to use in Pokémon Contests. This Pikachu gets a unique costume to wear during Contests; each costume comes with a specific, special move: Pikachu Rock Star gets {{m|Meteor Mash}} (Coolness Contest); Pikachu, Ph.D gets {{m|Electric Terrain}} (Cleverness Contest); Pikachu Pop Star gets {{m|Draining Kiss}} (Cuteness Contest); Pikachu Belle gets {{m|Icicle Crash}} (Beauty Contest); Pikachu Libre gets {{m|Flying Press}} (Toughness Contest).

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and Special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and Mirage spots found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===

====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat more obvious, and May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs. Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been redesigned and renamed [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after collecting the National Pokédex.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the tall grass section in each area.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* {{DL|Soaring in the sky|Mirage spot}}s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty category has been renamed to Beautiful and Smart has been renamed to Clever.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their Contests stats maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**The Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]]. They can only pass down moves that certain Pokémon can learn.

=====Story=====
* [[Steven Stone]]'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the Mega Stones.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating Brawly, as a line of NPCs will block the path. This was done as a way to work around Flash no longer being an HM.
* In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed. His new area of interest is brough up once more after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, when the departed species return to Hoenn.
* Instead of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} leaving [[Meteor Falls]] upon encounter like in the originals, a team grunt and Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a tag battle instead. May or Brenden who play a role here, serves as the player's tag battle partner.
* The motivation behind Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] was changed.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a quick side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]]. At the end of this mission, Steven gives the player the Mega Bracelet.
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The New Mauville side quest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon/Kyogre event.
* During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} challenge the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader could escape.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the Delta Episode. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role here.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly for the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}}. TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]], though.
**During the Delta Episode, [[Steven Stone]] upgrades the PokéNav Plus so he can contact the player at certain points during the event. This is a homage to the Match Call feature from Pokémon Emerald.
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven Stone to deal with it, including a [[Tag Battle]] at the end.
***Unlike the Tag Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents are [[Courtney]] and a Team Magma grunt, instead of [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The scene where the player and the evil team leaders return the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] (with the team leaders apologizing for their actions) has been omitted.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* {{ga|Wally}}'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* [[Deoxys]] is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode. It can also change its [[Form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallabor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* In the lower-left room on the right side of the Sea Mauville's hull, by opening a menu option to divert the screen after examining a blotched report in the upper-left corner, this allows the player to locate a wild {{p|Spiritomb}}.
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first defeating the Elite Four.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the Elite Four are challenged once more.
*{{rt|110|Hoenn}}'s wild Pokémon roster has gone through some minor changes.
**{{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Magnemite}} who were originally exclusive to New Mauville can now also be found here though Magnemite can only be found in a horde only.
**{{p|Plusle}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Minun}}{{sup/6|AS}} are limited to horde encounters only.
*The Safari Zone Pokémon have gone through a complete change, to which some Pokémon found cannot be found in the same areas as the original games. Other changes include:
**Certain Pokémon that were originally found in multiple areas have been restricted to one area.
**Two rare Pokémon are also divided up in each area, where one can only be located in normal grass, and the other in tall grass.
**{{p|Psyduck}}, formerly located through {{m|Surf}} only, can now also be found on land.
**{{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Natu}} have been removed, and {{p|Phanpy}} has been replaced with {{p|Donphan}}.
**{{p|Oddish}} is now a horde encounter Pokémon only.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the only pair of [[remake]]s where:
** The games' names are not written in {{wp|CamelCase}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were originally introduced after the generation of the original games are included, unlike the previous remakes where a few were not included.
** The remakes are indirectly compatible with the original games, as Pokémon from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can be transferred to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire through various forms of inter-generational communication.
** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** There are no available HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new female protagonists are introduced.

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The new games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014; with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.



==Pre-release information==
According to the press release that announced the games, the new titles will take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world.<ref name="youtube announcement">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywGSON9tNq0 Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire -- November 2014!"]</ref> The first footage from the game, a cutscene showing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} manipulating the weather via their respective Abilities, was revealed three days after the games' first announcement.<ref name="youtube first footage">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00DyEDmQ83s Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire—Sneak Peek Footage"]</ref> One month after the games' announcement, it was revealed that Groudon and Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion becoming Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, respectively.<ref name="primal legendaries">[[n:Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced|Bulbanews: "Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced"]]</ref>

A number of features introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} that had since been discontinued will return in these games. [[Pokémon Contests]] and customizable [[Secret Base]]s (now "Super Secret Bases") will return for the first time since {{game|Platinum}},<ref name="Secret Bases">[[n:Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Bulbanews: "Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire"]]</ref> while the [[Mach Bike]], the [[Acro Bike]], and third-generation [[player character]]s [[Brendan]] and [[May]] will return for the first time since {{game|Emerald}}.<ref name="CoroCoro July">[[n:CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed|Bulbanews: "CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed"]]</ref> {{p|Feebas}} will resume a Contest-specific evolution method.<ref name="August Update">[[n:Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions|Bulbanews: Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions]]</ref> In addition, a number of features introduced in {{g|X and Y}} will also return, with [[Horde Encounter]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s already confirmed to be part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with the Horde Encounter feature expanding into [[Horde Encounter|Trainer Horde Battle]]s. At least ten new [[Mega Evolution]]s will debut in this game, including Mega {{p|Sceptile}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Diancie}}, Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Altaria}}, Mega {{p|Lopunny}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Audino}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}}. The [[PokéNav]] will be redesigned as the PokéNav Plus, a device appearing on the touch screen outside of battle. The [[PokéNav Plus]] has four main functions — [[DexNav]], which displays information about wild Pokémon available in the player's current location; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}, a map used for navigation of location, Pokémon, Secret Bases and Berry Trees; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}, which reports on news from around the Hoenn region and from StreetPass; and {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}, which is used to connect to online play, local wireless play, [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]].

The August edition of ''CoroCoro'' magazine introduced [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This special Pikachu is given to the player to use in Pokémon Contests. This Pikachu gets a unique costume to wear during Contests; each costume comes with a specific, special move: Pikachu Rock Star gets {{m|Meteor Mash}} (Coolness Contest); Pikachu, Ph.D gets {{m|Electric Terrain}} (Cleverness Contest); Pikachu Pop Star gets {{m|Draining Kiss}} (Cuteness Contest); Pikachu Belle gets {{m|Icicle Crash}} (Beauty Contest); Pikachu Libre gets {{m|Flying Press}} (Toughness Contest).

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and Special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and Mirage spots found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===

====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat more obvious, and May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs. Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been redesigned and renamed [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after collecting the National Pokédex.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the tall grass section in each area.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* {{DL|Soaring in the sky|Mirage spot}}s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty category has been renamed to Beautiful and Smart has been renamed to Clever.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their Contests stats maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**The Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]]. They can only pass down moves that certain Pokémon can learn.

=====Story=====
* [[Steven Stone]]'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the Mega Stones.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating Brawly, as a line of NPCs will block the path. This was done as a way to work around Flash no longer being an HM.
* In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed. His new area of interest is brough up once more after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, when the departed species return to Hoenn.
* Instead of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} leaving [[Meteor Falls]] upon encounter like in the originals, a team grunt and Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a tag battle instead. May or Brenden who play a role here, serves as the player's tag battle partner.
* The motivation behind Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] was changed.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a quick side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]]. At the end of this mission, Steven gives the player the Mega Bracelet.
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The New Mauville side quest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon/Kyogre event.
* During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} challenge the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader could escape.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the Delta Episode. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role here.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly for the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}}. TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]], though.
**During the Delta Episode, [[Steven Stone]] upgrades the PokéNav Plus so he can contact the player at certain points during the event. This is a homage to the Match Call feature from Pokémon Emerald.
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven Stone to deal with it, including a [[Tag Battle]] at the end.
***Unlike the Tag Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents are [[Courtney]] and a Team Magma grunt, instead of [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The scene where the player and the evil team leaders return the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] (with the team leaders apologizing for their actions) has been omitted.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* {{ga|Wally}}'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* [[Deoxys]] is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode. It can also change its [[Form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallabor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* In the lower-left room on the right side of the Sea Mauville's hull, by opening a menu option to divert the screen after examining a blotched report in the upper-left corner, this allows the player to locate a wild {{p|Spiritomb}}.
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first defeating the Elite Four.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the Elite Four are challenged once more.
*{{rt|110|Hoenn}}'s wild Pokémon roster has gone through some minor changes.
**{{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Magnemite}} who were originally exclusive to New Mauville can now also be found here though Magnemite can only be found in a horde only.
**{{p|Plusle}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Minun}}{{sup/6|AS}} are limited to horde encounters only.
*The Safari Zone Pokémon have gone through a complete change, to which some Pokémon found cannot be found in the same areas as the original games. Other changes include:
**Certain Pokémon that were originally found in multiple areas have been restricted to one area.
**Two rare Pokémon are also divided up in each area, where one can only be located in normal grass, and the other in tall grass.
**{{p|Psyduck}}, formerly located through {{m|Surf}} only, can now also be found on land.
**{{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Natu}} have been removed, and {{p|Phanpy}} has been replaced with {{p|Donphan}}.
**{{p|Oddish}} is now a horde encounter Pokémon only.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the only pair of [[remake]]s where:
** The games' names are not written in {{wp|CamelCase}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were originally introduced after the generation of the original games are included, unlike the previous remakes where a few were not included.

** An accessory is not bundled with the games.
** There are no available HMs that were introduced after the generation of the original games.
** No new female protagonists are introduced.

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The new games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014; with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.



==Pre-release information==
According to the press release that announced the games, the new titles will take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world.<ref name="youtube announcement">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywGSON9tNq0 Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire -- November 2014!"]</ref> The first footage from the game, a cutscene showing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} manipulating the weather via their respective Abilities, was revealed three days after the games' first announcement.<ref name="youtube first footage">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00DyEDmQ83s Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire—Sneak Peek Footage"]</ref> One month after the games' announcement, it was revealed that Groudon and Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion becoming Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, respectively.<ref name="primal legendaries">[[n:Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced|Bulbanews: "Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced"]]</ref>

A number of features introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} that had since been discontinued will return in these games. [[Pokémon Contests]] and customizable [[Secret Base]]s (now "Super Secret Bases") will return for the first time since {{game|Platinum}},<ref name="Secret Bases">[[n:Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Bulbanews: "Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire"]]</ref> while the [[Mach Bike]], the [[Acro Bike]], and third-generation [[player character]]s [[Brendan]] and [[May]] will return for the first time since {{game|Emerald}}.<ref name="CoroCoro July">[[n:CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed|Bulbanews: "CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed"]]</ref> {{p|Feebas}} will resume a Contest-specific evolution method.<ref name="August Update">[[n:Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions|Bulbanews: Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions]]</ref> In addition, a number of features introduced in {{g|X and Y}} will also return, with [[Horde Encounter]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s already confirmed to be part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with the Horde Encounter feature expanding into [[Horde Encounter|Trainer Horde Battle]]s. At least ten new [[Mega Evolution]]s will debut in this game, including Mega {{p|Sceptile}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Diancie}}, Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Altaria}}, Mega {{p|Lopunny}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Audino}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}}. The [[PokéNav]] will be redesigned as the PokéNav Plus, a device appearing on the touch screen outside of battle. The [[PokéNav Plus]] has four main functions — [[DexNav]], which displays information about wild Pokémon available in the player's current location; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}, a map used for navigation of location, Pokémon, Secret Bases and Berry Trees; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}, which reports on news from around the Hoenn region and from StreetPass; and {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}, which is used to connect to online play, local wireless play, [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]].

The August edition of ''CoroCoro'' magazine introduced [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This special Pikachu is given to the player to use in Pokémon Contests. This Pikachu gets a unique costume to wear during Contests; each costume comes with a specific, special move: Pikachu Rock Star gets {{m|Meteor Mash}} (Coolness Contest); Pikachu, Ph.D gets {{m|Electric Terrain}} (Cleverness Contest); Pikachu Pop Star gets {{m|Draining Kiss}} (Cuteness Contest); Pikachu Belle gets {{m|Icicle Crash}} (Beauty Contest); Pikachu Libre gets {{m|Flying Press}} (Toughness Contest).

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and Special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and Mirage spots found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===

====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat more obvious, and May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs. Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been redesigned and renamed [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after collecting the National Pokédex.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the tall grass section in each area.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* {{DL|Soaring in the sky|Mirage spot}}s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty category has been renamed to Beautiful and Smart has been renamed to Clever.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their Contests stats maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**The Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]]. They can only pass down moves that certain Pokémon can learn.

=====Story=====
* [[Steven Stone]]'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the Mega Stones.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating Brawly, as a line of NPCs will block the path. This was done as a way to work around Flash no longer being an HM.
* In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed. His new area of interest is brough up once more after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, when the departed species return to Hoenn.
* Instead of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} leaving [[Meteor Falls]] upon encounter like in the originals, a team grunt and Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a tag battle instead. May or Brenden who play a role here, serves as the player's tag battle partner.
* The motivation behind Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] was changed.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a quick side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]]. At the end of this mission, Steven gives the player the Mega Bracelet.
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The New Mauville side quest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon/Kyogre event.
* During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} challenge the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader could escape.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the Delta Episode. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role here.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly for the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}}. TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]], though.
**During the Delta Episode, [[Steven Stone]] upgrades the PokéNav Plus so he can contact the player at certain points during the event. This is a homage to the Match Call feature from Pokémon Emerald.
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven Stone to deal with it, including a [[Tag Battle]] at the end.
***Unlike the Tag Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents are [[Courtney]] and a Team Magma grunt, instead of [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The scene where the player and the evil team leaders return the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] (with the team leaders apologizing for their actions) has been omitted.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* {{ga|Wally}}'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* [[Deoxys]] is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode. It can also change its [[Form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallabor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* In the lower-left room on the right side of the Sea Mauville's hull, by opening a menu option to divert the screen after examining a blotched report in the upper-left corner, this allows the player to locate a wild {{p|Spiritomb}}.
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first defeating the Elite Four.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the Elite Four are challenged once more.
*{{rt|110|Hoenn}}'s wild Pokémon roster has gone through some minor changes.
**{{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Magnemite}} who were originally exclusive to New Mauville can now also be found here though Magnemite can only be found in a horde only.
**{{p|Plusle}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Minun}}{{sup/6|AS}} are limited to horde encounters only.
*The Safari Zone Pokémon have gone through a complete change, to which some Pokémon found cannot be found in the same areas as the original games. Other changes include:
**Certain Pokémon that were originally found in multiple areas have been restricted to one area.
**Two rare Pokémon are also divided up in each area, where one can only be located in normal grass, and the other in tall grass.
**{{p|Psyduck}}, formerly located through {{m|Surf}} only, can now also be found on land.
**{{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Natu}} have been removed, and {{p|Phanpy}} has been replaced with {{p|Donphan}}.
**{{p|Oddish}} is now a horde encounter Pokémon only.

==Trivia==
* In all territories except Europe, these games were released on the twelfth anniversary of the Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire.
* Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the only pair of [[remake]]s where:
** The games' names are not written in {{wp|CamelCase}}.
** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were originally introduced after the generation of the original games are included, unlike the previous remakes where a few were not included.

'''Pokémon Omega Ruby''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターオメガルビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターアルファサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Alpha Sapphire'') are paired [[Generation VI]] games that are enhanced [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] titles {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The new games were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were released in most regions of the world on November 21, 2014; with the exception of Europe, where the games were released on November 28, 2014.



==Pre-release information==
According to the press release that announced the games, the new titles will take players through a dramatic story within a spectacular new world.<ref name="youtube announcement">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywGSON9tNq0 Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire -- November 2014!"]</ref> The first footage from the game, a cutscene showing {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} manipulating the weather via their respective Abilities, was revealed three days after the games' first announcement.<ref name="youtube first footage">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00DyEDmQ83s Youtube: "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire—Sneak Peek Footage"]</ref> One month after the games' announcement, it was revealed that Groudon and Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion becoming Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, respectively.<ref name="primal legendaries">[[n:Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced|Bulbanews: "Details on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire announced"]]</ref>

A number of features introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} that had since been discontinued will return in these games. [[Pokémon Contests]] and customizable [[Secret Base]]s (now "Super Secret Bases") will return for the first time since {{game|Platinum}},<ref name="Secret Bases">[[n:Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Bulbanews: "Super-Secret Bases confirmed for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire"]]</ref> while the [[Mach Bike]], the [[Acro Bike]], and third-generation [[player character]]s [[Brendan]] and [[May]] will return for the first time since {{game|Emerald}}.<ref name="CoroCoro July">[[n:CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed|Bulbanews: "CoroCoro leaks for July 2014 issue revealed"]]</ref> {{p|Feebas}} will resume a Contest-specific evolution method.<ref name="August Update">[[n:Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions|Bulbanews: Official US Pokémon website updates with new ORAS trailer, details about new Mega Evolutions]]</ref> In addition, a number of features introduced in {{g|X and Y}} will also return, with [[Horde Encounter]]s and [[Mega Evolution]]s already confirmed to be part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with the Horde Encounter feature expanding into [[Horde Encounter|Trainer Horde Battle]]s. At least ten new [[Mega Evolution]]s will debut in this game, including Mega {{p|Sceptile}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Diancie}}, Mega {{p|Sableye}}, Mega {{p|Metagross}}, Mega {{p|Altaria}}, Mega {{p|Lopunny}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Slowbro}}, Mega {{p|Audino}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}}. The [[PokéNav]] will be redesigned as the PokéNav Plus, a device appearing on the touch screen outside of battle. The [[PokéNav Plus]] has four main functions — [[DexNav]], which displays information about wild Pokémon available in the player's current location; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|AreaNav}}, a map used for navigation of location, Pokémon, Secret Bases and Berry Trees; {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}, which reports on news from around the Hoenn region and from StreetPass; and {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}}, which is used to connect to online play, local wireless play, [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]].

The August edition of ''CoroCoro'' magazine introduced [[Cosplay Pikachu]]. This special Pikachu is given to the player to use in Pokémon Contests. This Pikachu gets a unique costume to wear during Contests; each costume comes with a specific, special move: Pikachu Rock Star gets {{m|Meteor Mash}} (Coolness Contest); Pikachu, Ph.D gets {{m|Electric Terrain}} (Cleverness Contest); Pikachu Pop Star gets {{m|Draining Kiss}} (Cuteness Contest); Pikachu Belle gets {{m|Icicle Crash}} (Beauty Contest); Pikachu Libre gets {{m|Flying Press}} (Toughness Contest).

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Mechanics inherited from later generations===
The following elements from X and Y are also included in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s, including a number of new Mega Evolutions and Mega Stones that did not exist in X and Y.
* The {{type|Fairy}} and the new neutral match-up {{t|Steel}} has to {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Super Training]]
* [[Horde Encounter]]s
** Occasionally, five-versus-one Horde Battles can also occur with Trainers.
* [[Battle Resort]] and [[Battle Maison]] replace the Battle Tower.
* VS. Artwork or models are now used instead of sprites for Trainers and Gym Leaders.
The mechanic of {{cat|Evolution-inducing locations}} originating in [[Generation IV]], for Pokémon that evolve {{DL|Methods of evolution|when trained in a certain area}}, is also incorporated in the games.
* [[Moss Rock]] appears in [[Petalburg Woods]] for {{p|Leafeon}}.
* [[Ice Rock]] appears on the final floor of [[Shoal Cave]] during low tide for {{p|Glaceon}}.
* [[New Mauville]] serves as the location with a magnetic field where {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}} can be evolved.
Other consequences of updates from later generations include:
* Nine new Pokémon have been added to the Hoenn Pokédex. These are all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon which evolve from or into previous Hoenn Pokémon.
* As {{m|Flash}} is no longer an HM, Brawly's Knuckle Badge is no longer required to use it.
* Physical and Special moves are now determined by the move itself rather than type.

===All new elements===
* Completely new characters, such as [[Aarune]], [[Lisia]], and [[Zinnia]], appear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]] can be obtained. This is a special female Pikachu that is able to swap one of the moves it knows by changing its costume in [[Contest Hall]]s.
* Groudon and Kyogre are given [[Primal Reversion]] forms which are accessed by holding their respective [[colored orbs]]. As such the orbs are now regular items instead of key items.
* After the Groudon/Kyogre event, the player can use the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Eon Flute}} to [[soaring in the sky|soar]] the skies on {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}}, where Pokémon can be encountered and Mirage spots found.
**While the trainer can battle certain Pokémon in the sky, this is not the same as the [[Sky Battle]] feature from X and Y as any Pokémon can be used, not just {{type|Flying}}s, or Pokémon with the {{a|Levitate}} ability.
*[[PokéNav Plus]] replaces [[PokéNav]], which works as a dual-screen feature. Other than retaining the Hoenn Map and Trainer's Eye features, it includes the dual-screen features from X and Y, the ability to encounter specific Pokémon, and tracking Berries or Secret Bases.
*After completing the Delta Episode, it becomes possible for the player to have both bikes after they talk to three specific people while riding on a bike to advertise the [[Rydel's Cycles|bike shop]].
*The player can now wear accessories such as the new Devon Scuba Gear to realistically show the player surviving underwater with a scuba mask, or the Go-Goggles. In addition the player also receives a Magma Suit{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua Suit{{sup/6|AS}} which is not only used during the Primal Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} awakening cinematic scenes, but later serves as a space suit when confronting Deoxys during the Delta Episode.
*The introduction of the {{tc|Scuba Diver}} and {{tc|Free Diver}} trainer classes, trainers who battle the player underwater.

===Changes to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald elements===

====Aesthetic changes====
* The physical Hoenn Pokédex has been redesigned, now appearing similar to the original [[Game Boy Advance]] system.
* Brendan and May have completely different attires, with Brendan's brown hair and white hat more obvious, and May has a bow instead of the bandana she originally wore.
* Team Magma and Team Aqua have been given new designs. Team Magma Admin Tabitha appears to be huskier and Courtney has purple hair instead of brown. The Team Aqua Admins have dark skin tones. Team Aqua Admin Shelly has black hair with accents of blue instead of red hair and Matt is more muscular.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and other Trainers were redesigned with updated appearances.

====Location changes====
* The dark areas of [[Granite Cave]] now require the Mach Bike from Mauville City for the player to access, and are now optional.
* [[Mauville City]] has been completely redesigned into an indoor shopping complex and is dubbed the largest city in Hoenn, playing a similar role to [[Lumiose City]] from X and Y.
** The [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down, as game corners are no longer included in Pokémon games since Generation V.
* The [[Abandoned Ship]] has been redesigned and renamed [[Sea Mauville]]. Its backstory has also been greatly expanded.
* [[Scorched Slab]] has been greatly expanded, encompassing four floors now. {{p|Heatran}} can be caught on the lowest floor after collecting the National Pokédex.
* The number of puzzles in the [[Trick House]] is reduced from eight to six. Badges are also no longer required to start each puzzle, though some HM abilities from certain Badges are needed to navigate through certain puzzles.
* The {{gy|Dewford}} and [[Mossdeep Gym]]s have received complete redesigns, while the other six gyms have received minor redesigns.
* The interior of [[Mt. Pyre]] has been redesigned. On one hand it has been simplified, as the puzzle with holes in floors has been removed (both [[Incense]]s are now lying in the open), and the number of floors has been reduced from six to four. On the other hand, exploring it is now mandatory, as the doorway leading to the exterior has been relocated from the first floor to the third.
* The opening and closing door maze from New Mauville has been removed.
* [[Sky Pillar]] has been completely redesigned, and the Mach Bike puzzle has been removed.
* The [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] has been completely redesigned to where the player is more dependent on the bikes for traveling through the Safari Zone. The bikes are needed for accessing Area 3 and 4 (which can use either bike and not just one specific bike like before) and to access the tall grass section in each area.

====Gameplay changes====
=====Mechanics=====
* Secret Bases have been completely upgraded, becoming Super Secret Bases. Features include sharing bases with other players, inviting other players as secret pals, capturing flags, and customizing the player's own Gym.
* {{DL|Soaring in the sky|Mirage spot}}s are added as an apparent evolution of the [[Mirage Island]] mechanic.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s are now called Pokémon Contest Spectaculars
** The Beauty category has been renamed to Beautiful and Smart has been renamed to Clever.
** [[Pokéblock]]s and Pokéblock making have been heavily simplified, with Pokéblock making no longer requiring more than one player to perform successfully.
** The Sheen stat has been removed, meaning there is no longer a limit to how many Pokéblocks a player can give to their Pokémon, enabling Pokémon to have all of their Contests stats maxed out.
* The Safari Zone no longer requires that the player play the Safari Game. Instead, the Pokémon can be caught through normal encounters.
* Bikes are now capable of traveling through [[tall grass|long grass]].
* The player only needs one Badge instead of five to be able to rebattle the Trainers listed in the Trainer's Eye.
* The ability to search for hidden items underwater using the Dowsing Machine has been removed, as the Dowsing Machine is now worn as an accessory while in use. Hidden items still exist underwater, however.
*Similar to Emerald's Battle Frontier, BP can be earned to use as payment for moves learned from Move Tutors in the Battle Resort. Notably a number of these moves were formerly TMs during Generation III.
**The Free Move Tutors are located in Mauville City, [[Meteor Falls]] (after Delta Episode), and [[Sootopolis City]]. They can only pass down moves that certain Pokémon can learn.

=====Story=====
* [[Steven Stone]]'s plot has been expanded to encompass a search for the secrets of the Mega Stones.
* Steven can no longer be encountered in [[Granite Cave]] before defeating Brawly, as a line of NPCs will block the path. This was done as a way to work around Flash no longer being an HM.
* In addition to his studies of how Pokémon behave in the wild, [[Professor Birch]] is also said to do research on Pokémon that left Hoenn after the region's climate changed. His new area of interest is brough up once more after the encounter with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}, when the departed species return to Hoenn.
* Instead of Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} leaving [[Meteor Falls]] upon encounter like in the originals, a team grunt and Tabitha{{sup/6|OR}}/Shelly{{sup/6|AS}} challenges the player to a tag battle instead. May or Brenden who play a role here, serves as the player's tag battle partner.
* The motivation behind Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua's{{sup/6|AS}} visit to [[Mt. Chimney]] was changed.
* The encounter with Steven on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} is now interrupted by a quick side mission where {{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|AS}} takes Steven and the player to [[Southern Island]]. At the end of this mission, Steven gives the player the Mega Bracelet.
** Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} now joins the player's party during their trip to Southern Island, instead of being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in the post-game. An [[Eon Ticket]] is still required to return to Southern Island and obtain the alternate Eon Pokémon.
* The New Mauville side quest, which originally started after defeating [[Norman]] and obtaining {{m|Surf}}, starts much later now, after the Groudon/Kyogre event.
* During the encounter with the team leaders at Mt. Pyre, Courtney{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} challenge the player to a battle to help buy time so their leader could escape.
* After defeating the Elite Four, the games feature the Delta Episode. Similar to Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza plays a major role here.
** The Meteorite plays a larger role in the game, particularly for the Delta Episode as a means for Rayquaza to Mega Evolve in the official storyline. Because of this it can no longer be given to [[Professor Cozmo]] in return for {{TM|27|Return}}. TM27 can still be found in [[Pacifidlog Town]], though.
**During the Delta Episode, [[Steven Stone]] upgrades the PokéNav Plus so he can contact the player at certain points during the event. This is a homage to the Match Call feature from Pokémon Emerald.
** Similar to Pokémon Emerald, the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] is taken over during the events of the Delta Episode by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}} or Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} and the player must team up with Steven Stone to deal with it, including a [[Tag Battle]] at the end.
***Unlike the Tag Battle against Team Magma from Emerald, the player and Steven's opponents are [[Courtney]] and a Team Magma grunt, instead of [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* In order to board the [[S.S. Tidal]] which would allow the player entry into the Battle Resort, the Delta Episode must be completed first.
* The player keeps both [[colored orbs]] after dealing with Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}}. The scene where the player and the evil team leaders return the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] (with the team leaders apologizing for their actions) has been omitted.

=====Pokémon team and battle changes=====
* A number of teams for Trainers that can be rematched through Trainer's Eye are different from the original Ruby and Sapphire. Others have been removed.
* When the player faces May or Brendan as their rival in [[Lilycove City]], their Pokémon teams are fully evolved.
* {{p|Slugma}} takes {{p|Numel}}'s place in May or Brendan's original Ruby and Sapphire lineup if their starter is not Torchic.
* The Trainers found on [[Mt. Chimney]] that were encountered after defeating Team Aqua/Team Magma have been removed.
** {{tc|Expert}} Shelby has been moved from [[Mt. Chimney]] to [[Jagged Pass]].
* Brendan or May will also challenge the player after the credits have ended. In this battle, their starter can Mega Evolve.
* The Elite Four and Champion's initial lineups have changed somewhat, and when challenged in the post-game, they now have tougher teams, with higher levels, different movesets, and non-regional Pokémon on their teams, and including some [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* {{ga|Wally}}'s {{p|Ralts}} eventually evolves into {{p|Gallade}} instead of {{p|Gardevoir}}, and is able to Mega Evolve as Gallade.
* [[Steven Stone]]'s {{p|Metagross}} can now Mega Evolve.

=====Obtainable Pokémon=====
* In a few areas, the encounterable Pokémon have changed. Certain Water-type Pokémon are not found in all of the same areas they were in the original games, such as in [[Mossdeep City]], where {{p|Sharpedo}} was removed. A few evolved Pokémon such as {{p|Swellow}} or {{p|Wailord}} also can no longer be found in the wild.
* {{p|Feebas}} can now be found by fishing anywhere on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} instead of six random spots. However, it can still be found more easily by fishing directly underneath the bridge near the [[Weather Institute]] during the daytime.
* The Legendary Pokémon {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Cresselia}} are now obtainable in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Some are exclusive to one version and some may require special circumstances to unlock them.
* [[Deoxys]] is now catchable during the climax of the Delta Episode. It can also change its [[Form differences|forme]] freely via a meteorite in Professor Cozmo's house in [[Fallabor Town]], as opposed to Generation III where its forme was dependent on the game it was in.
* In the lower-left room on the right side of the Sea Mauville's hull, by opening a menu option to divert the screen after examining a blotched report in the upper-left corner, this allows the player to locate a wild {{p|Spiritomb}}.
* Whereas in Emerald, [[Professor Birch]] would reward the player with their choice of a [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} upon completing the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], now, he will give it to the player when he is found on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} after first defeating the Elite Four.
** After obtaining the Johto starter and completing the Delta Episode, the Professor will give the player an [[Unova]] starter, and after that, a [[Sinnoh]] starter if the Elite Four are challenged once more.
*{{rt|110|Hoenn}}'s wild Pokémon roster has gone through some minor changes.
**{{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Magnemite}} who were originally exclusive to New Mauville can now also be found here though Magnemite can only be found in a horde only.
**{{p|Plusle}}{{sup/6|OR}} or {{p|Minun}}{{sup/6|AS}} are limited to horde encounters only.
*The Safari Zone Pokémon have gone through a complete change, to which some Pokémon found cannot be found in the same areas as the original games. Other changes include:
**Certain Pokémon that were originally found in multiple areas have been restricted to one area.
**Two rare Pokémon are also divided up in each area, where one can only be located in normal grass, and the other in tall grass.
**{{p|Psyduck}}, formerly located through {{m|Surf}} only, can now also be found on land.
**{{p|Dodrio}} and {{p|Natu}} have been removed, and {{p|Phanpy}} has been replaced with {{p|Donphan}}.
**{{p|Oddish}} is now a horde encounter Pokémon only.

** There are no [[location preview]]s.
** All methods of evolutions that were originally introduced after the generation of the original games are included, unlike the previous remakes where a few were not included.

Talk:Hoopa (Pokémon)

2015-02-05T22:39:57Z

HoennLove200: /* Confined Hoopa is only a head? */

==ORAS entries==
I think they've actually changed (unless Formes have separate entries :P), since [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPcLdq7Ilk8&list=UU0A_Jk_KqFcwnEBtyNqolsA this]. Probably because of the new Forme. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I have already updated it. thanks for the help in editing!:)[[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 10:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hoopa Confined's Description ==

You must have been looking at the old art (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-410943259) that influenced a lot of people before we could actually get a clear shot of Hoopa. This is a more accurate look at it (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-v-2-477350821). Of note, it doesn't have claws on its hands; they're more like mittens. [[User:Alxprit|Alxprit]] ([[User talk:Alxprit|talk]]) 21:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

== Japanese Name ==

Hoopa's name in Japanese is フーパ (''Fūpa''), though you probably know this already. [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 05:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:See [[User_talk:Phiraptor28/Hoopa (Pokémon)#In other_languages|here]] on the user page. The Japanese is already there, though the ''Fūpa'' part is not. I will leave that to someone else to determine adding, though I believe it can be. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Fūpa is a transliteration of the katakana. The katakana is a transliteration of Hoopa. Therefore, the Japanese name is Hoopa. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:::That's not what I meant... On the right side of the page, where the template for the Pokémon information is located, the kana reads シェイミ (''Sheimi'') instead of フーパ (''Fūpa''). [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 07:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry guys 'coz I copied Shaymin's template to create this page... I'll edit it right away. Thanks to all! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Prev/Next Bar ==

Guys, please don't change Bulbasaur into Volcanion. Hoopa is going to be released maybe in the next two months, for he's involved in teleporting the [[Weather trio]] to [[Kalos]]. Volcanion will not be released '''simultaneously''' with Hoopa. When Bulbapedia puts this page into the mainspace, Volcanion still won't be in "official" existence. This would yet always end up like this. Even though we know Volcanion exists, he is yet to be acknowledged by Nintendo. So:

{{PokémonPrevNextHead | species=Hoopa | prev=Diancie | next=Bulbasaur | prevnum=719 | nextnum=001 | type=psychic | type2={{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: i}} mod 2}}|0=Ghost|1=Dark}}}}

But then, as you see in my [[User:Phiraptor28/Volcanion_(Pokémon)|Volcanion page]], this would be the only instance that Hoopa and Bulbasaur's pages would be linked together. If Hoopa is revealed, the PrevNext Bar would be 719 - '''720''' - 001. If Volcanion is revealed, it would be 720 - '''721''' - 001. In layman's term, '''DO NOT EDIT THE PREVNEXT BAR TO SOON'''. I hope you bear with me. :) [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Hiding Unbound information ==

As I'm sure this article will be mainspaced soon, I'm wondering whether or not the Unbound information should be hidden? Seeming Volcanion (and Hoopa until now) don't have mainspaced pages because of their unofficially revealed status, that the Unbound information should be omitted because its basically in the same boat as Volcanion. I'm absolutely certain the Unbound forme will be officially revealed before July, but still, the fact remains until then it's not officially released information until then. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 15:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with this because a lot of Diancie's information was also hidden last year until more information was officially announced and it eventually became obtainable in an official event. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 13:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:I agree as well. Hoopa's unbound form has not been officially revealed by Nintendo yet (to my knowledge), so I don't think we should have it on this page. [[User:ShermTank7272|ShermTank7272]] ([[User talk:ShermTank7272|talk]]) 18:50, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Forme names ==

Is it "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound", or "Confined Forme" and "Unbound Forme"? This article uses them interchangeably, which is incorrect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if it'll help, but in the ORAS text dump, the file that has things like "Altered Forme", "Overcast Form", and "Mega Diancie" also has "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound" (in that relative order). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It is really '''Hoopa Confined''' or '''Hoopa Unbound'''. As you see, I already put the forme names in the head section of the page, even at the first time I created this. The problem that ''Confined Forme'' and ''Unbound Forme'' came to existence is because when I was creating the infobox (and the evolution section), I learned that the coding of Bulbapedia's Infobox does not recognize the proper order of the names of Hoopa's forme differences; which is because of the previous Pokémon with forme differences, but '''the''' '''''"forme"''''' ''in their formes go'' '''''after''''' '''their forme name.''' Examples are such as ''Sky Forme Shaymin''. Otherwise it would be ''Shaymin Sky'', if we follow Hoopa's format. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's a false equivalence. Just because Hoopa is done this way does not at all mean Shaymin or anything else is "wrong" or contradicted. (Until I can have Hoopa in my own game or see some official (English) usage, I can't offer a real opinion on whether the current way is right or wrong, but I would hazard that it's right.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== The Djinn Pokemon ==

If you read the OR/AS PokeDex Entries with Hoopa Confined as the Forme shown, it displays "Mischief" as it did in X/Y. However, if Unbound is selected when viewing this page, it's called "Djinn" instead. Does any other Pokemon with a Forme Change ever change their [[Species]] name whenever viewed differently in the PokeDex as such? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 13:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, no. Also considering that Hoopa is the only Generation VI Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries in ORAS whereas every other Gen VI Pokemon just reuses theirs from X/Y. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 21:05, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Is Hoopa The New Pixie? ==

Y'know, the small, cute, "fairy"-looking legendary with 600 BST like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini (I consider Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit honorary Pixies because they look a lot like pale Mew with helmets, and they have similar sizes to the rest of the pixies, but they don't have 600 BST's)?
Hoopa would also be the first Pixie Legendary to not have an equal 100/100/100/100/100/100 spread, and the second to have an item-linked Forme change after Shaymin (who has both Land and Sky).
And the first to have slight involvement in a game's storyline since Mew (both are directly alluded to in their respective games. Mew with the Pokémon Mansion journals, and Hoopa with the Mirage Spots).--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:"Small" is subjective, "cute" and "'fairy'-looking" are opinionated, and "600 BST" is a trait shared by a TON of Mythical Pokémon beyond just those six, meaning that the only ''factual'' relation between specifically them is that they are all Mythical and have straight-100 stats. Hoopa is Mythical, but since it doesn't meet the ''only'' other criterium, it doesn't qualify, so rather than being considered "the only Pixie not to have straight-100 stats," I would just not call it a Pixie. Please remember that this has to all be fact-based, so we can't just categorize Pokémon based on similar appearances - if Hoopa counted as a pixie despite not having straight-100 stats, then wouldn't Diancie and even Darkrai also have to? They also have BSTs of 600 and are Mythical; they, ''like Hoopa,'' lack the straight-100 stats, but if Hoopa counts, there's no reason for them not to count. I don't think Hoopa can be grouped with the Pixies - we ''didn't'' count Diancie and Darkrai, did we? [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 11:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Subject? Likely. Either way, [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Cute Legendary Pokémon|we have a definition on the Appendix]]. (Though, they are not called Pixies.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::So is that a yes or a no? Hoopa seems to fit the entire definition in the Appendix aside from the 100 stat spread. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 09:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::::It doesn't meet the definition (as you said yourself), so it isn't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== Pokemon Infobox problem ==

Hoopa's forms don't work entirely right in the Pokemon infobox. Under the images, it says "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" instead of "Hoopa Confined/Unbound". This should be corrected somehow.

:I'm not sure I understand the problem. The same template used there, I think, is used for all Megas (see {{p|Altaria}} for instance).

== Possible name inspiration ==

In addition to the obvious "Hoop" part of its name, I think Hoopa could also be referencing OOPArts, or "out-of-place artifacts". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
It certainly fits with its theme of teleporting objects to seemingly random locations. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle (Silverlucario)]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 03:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

::No, I really don't think "''an object [...] found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" well before humans were supposed to exist''" is at all related to Hoopa. Just because Hoopa ''could'' be the cause does not at all mean it's reasonable. Until such a case is actually mentioned, you're theorizing on the consequences of Hoopa's habits much too far without real subtantiation (i.e., it's just a huge guess).

A slightly different and more complicated example is on {{p|Burmy}} (it's easiest to just click "edit this page" and search for ''class="collapsible"'').

It's perfectly fine to update part of it if you're going to be gone for a few hours or something.

== Subjective Editing/Blocking you keep doing ==

I have to ask, why are you always erasing edits to things that you personally do not like, on here? The last thing I edited was White Forest, in order to warn readers that if you take too long to get there, you will be unable to catch any Pokemon there. This info was NOT in the article beforehand. And you erased every single edit I made in there, for no reason, at all. Why wouldn't you want people to know not to take too long to enter White Forest? This has been a problem with many people. Also, it is completely accurate that altering the DS clock will reduce the timer to White Forest's occupants. Currently so far, there is NOTHING warning people about how White Forest's countdown timer works. Nor is there even any info about how long the timer takes, which you also erased. Is this a power/authority thing? Why wouldn't you want to warn players about that? Also, there is NO WAY to fix this glitch now, and Entralink no longer works. White Forest in Pokemon White is now permanently unable to bring new residents in. And if there is some way that this can be fixed that none of us know about, why wouldn't you put that in there, too?

Sometimes, Bulbapedia can be a good website for info. But a LOT of crap you guys do is highly subjective and biased. It's bad enough you guys show a clear disdain for the older games and often like to retcon information. Like the whole name of "Ethan" and all the inaccurate retconning done with that and turning everything from Gold/Silver/Crystal into HeartGold/SoulSilver, even though they ARE DIFFERENT GAMES! HG/SS isn't identical to G/S/C, nor do they work the same way. Yet, Bulbapedia does not give one damn. Gold in Generation II is NOT "ethan" in Generation IV, nor can you get an Ambipom in Crystal version.

This thing with White Forest is another thing I don't see the point of restricting/blocking valuable information from. I think the info some of us "non-veteran" contributors put out there is valuable and "not being part of the insiders club" shouldn't block that info from being put on here. It's my opinion that you guys are out-of-line and having a "community based" website where only a few elite members get to control the information is no different than media sources with an agenda.

Can you guys at least EXPLAIN why you do these things you do, instead of just going "I don't like others contributing, so I'm going to keep erasing everything and banning people who fight me." The whole website loses quality when you guys keep being biased like this. {{unsigned|Mcheetah}}
:I'm happy to explain what I do. But please do not expect me to answer for the actions of others.
:You claim I erased your edits for no reason. I did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=White_Forest&diff=2171818&oldid=2171811 give reasons].
:''"Also, it is completely accurate that altering the DS clock will reduce the timer to White Forest's occupants."'' I did not say (or mean to) that it ''was'' inaccurate. I'm not 100% sure what my exact thoughts were at that point, but right now, I can tell you that I'd be happy to see that in the main article (i.e., ''not'' as "Trivia"), but ideally it should also quantify exactly ''how'' changing the clock affects the occupants. (This is probably why I didn't put it in myself.) Particularly: is there a set penalty to the occupants' parameters (and how much?) for changing the clock, or if it's set forward by X days does it just act like you haven't interacted with the occupants for X days? (Maybe the effect is different depending on if you go forwards or backwards?)

:In general, to your concern about warning people: Bulbapedia is not a FAQ or walkthrough. Bulbapedia is a wiki. For the most part, we should not be making "recommendations". In any case, the information users need to understand that ''is'' contained in the article already. ''"When the player enters the forest for the very first time, the total number of residents is determined by the number of days it took the player to reach White Forest."'' (That, with the table in Demographics.)
:What glitch are you speaking of? Are you confusing the [[Entralink]] with the [[Pokémon Global Link]]? The Entralink is a local wireless function, not over the internet. I ''just now'' recruited someone from White Forest into Black City, so I'm quite sure you're wrong about that much, at least. (I do not wish to try the other direction at the moment, but there is no reason it should be any different.)

In the game, the old man who talks about Mirage Spots does not capitalize the 's' if that helps. But most places Capitalize it. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:54, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

::Mirage is capitalized, and I mean both fan and I think official sites/social media mentions. However, that might be simple personal preference for whoever is in control of those sites/accounts.

::Anyways, here is the old man's Dialog

They say, here in Hoenn, there are places
called Mirage spots.
One does not simply walk into a Mirage spot.
Not to mention that these places also
appear and disappear mysteriously.

::in both instances that he mentions Mirage Spots. he Capitalizes the M every time. from what I see in screen shots from the original games, he use to say Mirage Island in all caps.

::Likewise, another man inside the same house in Pacifidlog Town says

Mirage spots...
It must be the weather conditions that seem to
make the visible at some times and not others.

== Critical Captures ==

You have undone my changes at the [[Catch rate]] article. Please have a look at the discussion page of [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] ([[User talk:Dragonfree|talk]]) --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 13:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey guy, how about talking to me instead of abusing me in the editing comment section and doing edit war like you have done previously with Marnix? 
Can you make a comprehensible explanation why it should be 65536 (=2^16) instead of 65535 (=2^16-1) like it always is? 65536 also is inconsistent with the other generations. 
The other point is the fraction of that formula. You insist on 1/4 which means that the total capture chance is in Generation V like in IV or VI. But nevertheless you claimed different probabilities in the Critical Capture section which is even inconsistent with the whole rest of the article. If you can't explain that, I'll soon change it back. --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 15:26, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:I am going to copy your response from Dragonfree's talk page to [[Talk:Catch rate#Critical catch shakes in Gen VI]]. That's where it belongs. Please continue the discussion there.
:Also, I would ask you to please be very careful in the future about linking a different user and their talk page like you did above. It looks exactly like a signature, and when your actual signature doesn't look like a usual signature, it is ''very'' easy to miss your real signature and assume the comment is from Dragonfree. Thank you.
:Now, regarding your second comment...
:1) Please refrain from making this personal (and/or try not to take it so personally).
:2) Regarding the rest...allow me to take a little more time to respond to that. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:34, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:Okay...
:Regarding 65535 or 65536: addressed at [[Talk:Catch rate#Critical catch shakes in Gen VI]].
:Regarding 1/4: let's lay this out, since your comments above don't seem quite right to me.
::''(The below will all assume throwing a regular Poke Ball at Kyurem (or Giratina) at full health with no statuses)''
::In Gen III-IV, the shake probability ''b'' is about 25%. With four shake checks, this makes the final capture probability 0.39%.
::If ''b'' in Gen V uses a fourth-root, then ''b'' is about 25%. With three shake checks in Gen V, this makes the final capture probability about 1.5%.
::If ''b'' in Gen V uses a third-root, then ''b'' is about 15.8% and (with three shake checks) the final capture probability is 0.39%.
:Now, if you would suggest that Gen V is probably not a fourth-root because it makes the final capture probability different from what it was: I cannot accept that as reason enough to say it uses a third-root. I am very sympathetic to that reasoning, but it proves nothing. The developers could have made a mistake, or decided they wanted it that way, or who knows what. If you think the Gen V formula must use a third-root, try to prove it.
:The way to prove it might be to find a Pokemon that could reliably be captured (maybe given sleep, and/or a certain type of Poke Ball) if the Gen V formula uses a fourth-root but which may break free if the formula uses a third-root. I'm sorry to say I'm not eager to do that work myself (though I perhaps it's not really that difficult), but I would be overjoyed if you could find such a case that we could test to find out for sure whether the formula should say 1/4 or 1/3. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:32, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

You pointed out the key aspect for Generation V: Is it a fourth-root formula (call it 4RF) which makes a different result compared to all the other generations or is it a third-root formula (call it 3RF) so that instead only the probability of a single shake check changed? I believe in the 3RF. Well, the simple reason would be: four shake checks --> fourth-root, three shake checks --> third root. 
you cannot proof it by catching a Pokémon reliably. Both formulas would give a 100% chance. So you must catch Pokémon (in Generation V of course) that can break free, but don't have a too low chance. Example:
::Catching with Sleep using Dusk Ball: Basculin (catch rate 25), 3RF = 28.6% --- 4RF = 39.1% --- Difference = 10.5%
But you can also catch a Pokémon with 255 catch rate just using a Poké Ball. The difference will always be maximal about 10.55% for some mathematical reason.
::Catching without ailment using Poké Ball: Patrat (catch rate 255), 3RF = 33.3% --- 4RF = 43.8% --- Difference = 10.5%
These 10.5% make the difference. --- Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 18:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:Well, just for the record, this is solved in [[Talk:Catch rate#Critical catch shakes in Gen VI]].

==Designs section for ORAS page==
At least three areas have had noteworthy changes that makes them qualify for this section as minor notes. Hoenn Safari Zone (since the area is nowhere near the same as the original games), Scorched Slab (Major expansion), and Mt. Pyre (minor change of where the exit to the exterior is). I can easily handle Mt. Pyre since it is just a minor update, but I feel you are better qualified for the Safari Zone and Scorched Slab since you are better at compressing notes than I am. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
:I don't actually have ORAS... Right now, to me, Mt. Pyre sounds like such a small change I don't personally care about noting it (after I play ORAS, I could think differently). The Safari Zone's geography is not explained on this site well enough for me to know what to say, and I don't want to spoil myself as much as watching a YouTube video would do. (But if that'll be mentioned under Design, it might also be best to move the Safari Game point out from Mechanics and mix it into the Design point.) I can do Scorched Slab fine, though.

==Need some help==
If you check out my recent addition to the Sea Mauville page, it talks about the procedure to unlocking Spiritomb. Could you help me think of a way of adding it to the ORAS page as I need to think of the best way to keep it short and simple for that page. Also if you need to look at the footage directly I can provide a Youtube link which helped me earlier being I performed it on my game myself. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:32, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
:I think if you get into details that are too fine, there can be a lot that doesn't necessarily need to be added to the ORAS changes. I'm not sure what you think should be added for Spiritomb. If what you basically want is that Spiritomb is catchable, IMO it's basically the same for a number of other non-Hoenn Pokemon that can be caught (after you get the National Dex I think?) in various places, and Spiritomb isn't that special out of all those. (If it's that it's catchable at Sea Mauville, that doesn't seem like an important detail.) It seems there's nothing currently noting the new non-Hoenn encounters so if you wanted, you could put that in.

== Soaring Stunts Table ==

lol no I'm not trying to avoid trying to spell them out, but I think having Forward and backward/backwards is not as eye appealing.

You actually had the same thought I had about ↑↓ instead of ← →. Before your edit, I was actually changing them to the up and down arrows while adding another stunt (err I guess? does breaking count?), and changing Stunt to Maneuver and Effect to Description. I want to try and make the table as Aesthetically eye appealing as possible.

So how does this look, and I couldn't figure out how to do it, but what if we put notes at the bottom showing a legend for the arrows?

== Old discussions ==

Hello, I need a clarification on the "Please refrain from resurrecting discussions older than 6 months" rule. The discussions on a wiki aren't forum threads, and if they aren't a very specific question to one particular user, it doesn't grow old and can still be consulted. Old content is still consulted and the discussion may still be a question the user wanted to read. Adding precision more than 6 months later isn't for the original poster but for the next users asking themselves the same question, and thus there isn't any "resurrecting". Otherwise, why aren't discussions removed after 6 months? Because it can still answer the next user. So exactly why forbidding more precision to be added? (Besides the obvious readability of a heavily discussed page of course) Yes, I know there's a line about that in the FAQ, but it's very general and the exception is subjective. So I'd like to know the reasons. -- [[User:Gpm|Gpm]] ([[User talk:Gpm|talk]]) 09:27, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
:If a question is years old, it is very unlikely any user is still checking for answers to it...
:The user's question where you responded actually was answered. Q: "Why does it say sunny instead of night?" A: "Because that's just how it works." Your comment didn't add anything significant, just trivia at best (which, IMO and FYI, would be fine on the mainspace page). If the thrust of the question was answered, then no tangential additional "precision" is really needed if many months have passed; if they had wanted clarification, they would have asked, and if anyone else wants it, they can make a new question.

== Rematch Data ==

I'm moving on to this project. I'm convinced from my own game experience, however, that rematch data is not in a set order, but based on where you are in the story. For instance, I rematched Dylan's Lv.18 Doduo (Route 117) three consecutive times, and much later my first "rematch" against Gabby and Ty was at Lv.41 when I was expecting a Lv.29 battle. How should we document rematch data for the time being? Should I just put information for each Route as I come across it in my userspace and we can decide from there how to handle it? I think I prefer having separate tables, and then each sub-header can say something like, "After obtaining the 'Blank' Badge" followed by the appropriate data. I can show what I mean after I have some data. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 08:17, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:It looks like their RSE Trainer entries have a more or less similar problem, insofar as only one battle is displayed even though it appears they may have different teams.
:Rematches in general aren't handled terribly gracefully and/or uniformly (I believe?) on Bulbapedia. For past generations, there have been devices like the VS Seeker, and if that icon is in their row, I've come to understand that to imply that you should visit the Trainer class page to see their rematch data. For Gen VI/ORAS/Gabby and Ty, that's not really applicable, though...
:I would say yeah, list whatever battles are applicable. And for each "rematch" or battle after the first, include a note.

::That's not a bad idea there. I was planning to just use a new sub-header "Rematches" under the originating table, and still within, say, "Generation VI" (the extra set of equal signs). Doing that and your labeling idea would allow all rematches to be in the same table, and grouped by when they occur. Of course, each "group" can also take place in unique tables, so we have "Rematches with the Knuckle Badge", "Rematches with the Balance Badge", "Rematches after entering the Hall of Fame", and so on, meaning each set of rematches is a table. On the [[Rematches]] page itself, after I confirm specific data (such as when they start occurring; I'm now holding a Stone Badge in Alpha Sapphire and have not seen rematches yet), I can edit that in there.

III, so give it some time and keep an eye on your Trainer's Eyes because once the color changes from black to white, then you know it is ready to go. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:21, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::Indeed. And given how often Dylan wanted to fight me (and lose again) with the same Lv.18 Doduo, they will want a rematch again right away, so it will make it very simple to catalog all the data. I'm guessing the rematches begin when you clear the Rusturf Tunnel events with Team Aqua/Magma since you said you only have the Stone Badge, and I have no rematches yet (not even Calvin on 102!). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:48, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::I seem to be on the right path. The first rematch request has appeared from Lass Haley on Route 104. Time to see if her team has improved any before I go visit the Devon President. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
[Outdent] Got my first [[User:CycloneGU/ORAS Research Data|rematch]], and I was wrong, it was Cindy. Not Haley. Though Haley I think wants one, too, so I think Cindy just wanted one after I re-entered 104. In any case, I still have to battle Winston, then I can move Haley and Winston up there as well. What are your thoughts to the format I have used here on my copy of the 104 data? Note that "Other Rematches" is strictly for storing data that is not yet personally confirmed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:32, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:That's a whole lot of reinventing the wheel. There's nothing wrong with the current format, just change the tt text to "After # of Badges/entering Hall of Fame". [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 17:55, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::That is the other option, but sometimes the wheel can be tuned up as well. I'm just looking for opinion on the proposed format. I do agree that it would add a lot of headers at the expense of making smaller tables, so the question is whether we prefer a cleaner look or for all data for one generation to remain in a single table. This is why I put the idea in the user space for now, and I intend to make edits to the mainspace style for the time being so that the data researched is not lost. At the very least, having a rematches header provides a break in the data that I think is needed even if we don't split off groups of rematches. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::I think I agree with Glik. As it stands, I have nothing but questions about why Cindy is in a section "Rematches after obtaining the Stone Badge" and also in "Other Rematches". If she just starts offering rematches after the Stone Badge, then (if you're gonna have a rematch section) all of her rematches should just be there and the first should say something like "First rematch, any time after obtaining the Stone Badge". (That's a big "if" for me. Like I said, I don't get it, so I'm making a big guess.)
:::I'm also, as a rule, not fond of "tt" when other notation is possible (such as I demonstrated above). On the other hand, I may be sympathetic to objections to my example format, and since the "tt" becomes repetitive (first, second, third rematches...), it's not ''completely'' terrible... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:27, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::I think the concerns of TT is for mobile users, who would not have a mouse to hover around and bring up the tooltips. I think it's best to try to avoid them when possible as well, but in some cases that might just be difficult to do, and an additional note in the prose would be useful for those users so that both userbases are covered.
::::I'll revisit the userspace version once it's complete. Keep in mind I just created it, and the reason it's set up as such ("Other Rematches", which normally would not exist) is so that I can move data around once I confirm it. I'm still doing editing on the other 132 pages (wherever there are rematches, anyway) in the meantime, but I'm only doing 104 under my suggestion, and it will be better seen once completed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:36, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::The text underneath ''does'' look better, but I don't think it'd really works when rematches get condensed (see Cindy and Winston in Emerald). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:48, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::I'm on my way to conduct the initial battle with Winston right now as I never did that, so I'm hoping to unlock the rematch right away before heading south to Dewford. I already have Omega Ruby with all eight Badges, so I'm using Alpha Sapphire for this research (up to seven Badges) and will be doing the Hall of Fame research using Omega Ruby afterwards. After I get the Winston rematch in, I'll save an edit with their first rematches and the "Other" section will shrink. I'll do a second edit later with the second batch of rematches once I know when they occur, but I think that's after the second Badge. Heck, I have to have more battles in Petalburg Forest right now, as well.
::::::I've been considering using this same page for ALL of my rematch data, but for now that might be overkill (even if I do get a Userspace policy exclusion). I'll just edit on each page with Badge requirements and use 104's data for prepping the format. I'll be prepping it for both Tiddlywink's idea and my split tables proposal, and in the end we can figure it out from there if any changes are made. It would be nice to get something more user-friendly for sitewide use. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:53, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::...And {{rt|104|Hoenn|that}}'s kind of what I meant before, that rematches are not handled uniformly. =P I looked at {{rt|118|Hoenn}} before, and that doesn't list any rematches. I think Route 104's format looks alright, though. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:56, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::::118 probably wasn't researched yet, and I was going to start researching 111 since I saw the same problem there before making the discovery that everyone suddenly had Lv.43-44 teams. Hence why I've added this to my projects. I'm going around everywhere after major plot points and Badges earned to find rematch information. I'm playing Alpha Sapphire right now in a way I normally don't; by taking a single team and overleveling them, and adding a couple here and there who basically sit back and watch most of the time until needed. I already have Sceptile and haven't even gone south yet. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:00, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::"Research" my foot. (Absolutely no offense intended.) The RSE Trainers have had rematch data on their Trainer class pages for some while, but the route doesn't list those. That's the rub. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:03, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
{{indent}}Yeah, some routes' were just never added, for some reason. And it's not like every Trainer's rematch teams and what triggers them aren't known. They're all in the guide. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 19:07, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:Tiddlywinks, I'm looking at OR/AS data, which is completely missing. I'm not (yet) looking at Gen. III.
:Glik: I agree, it was easy for this to be found, but I think the way the rematches are now done (see [[Hoenn_Route_111#Generation_VI|111-VI]] now, there are two sets listed and nothing in between or afterwards) has left large batches of data unfound, which is what I'm correcting.
:Right now, every single Trainer on my rematch card is looking for me, and I still have to chop down trees on 116 to get a few there. I'm hopping around for info. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:16, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::Tiddlywinks, I used your idea at [[Petalburg_Woods#Pok.C3.A9mon_Omega_Ruby_and_Alpha_Sapphire|Petalburg_Woods]]. I decided I'll use that immediately and just quietly do my own format (including that in it) for 104 separately. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:30, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Don't go altering any formats until we can actually agree on something. Any changes will most likely have to be done to ''every game'', so keep them uniform until then. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:01, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::To be fair, I'll have to do a lot of userspace edits to accommodate data until something can be agreed upon, then. I like and agreed with what Tiddlywinks suggested, hence why I started using it. I'm not pushing my own opinion on anything else for the time being.
::::Will there be a problem if I use my userspace to store personally confirmed data until something can be agreed upon? I can move data from there to the mainspace when a format is agreed, and we can even use the page I create (to accommodate all of the rematch data in fact) to grab data to eventually be used in that new format. I'll use Tiddlywinks' idea in my userspace for now and copy the reverted edits to there for starting points. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:25, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::Your userspace can essentially be used for whatever you want. If you're really gonna worry about making too many edits, though, you can always write down your data in a text file or something and save it there until the end of the day or something.
:::::FWIW, I'd likely side with keeping the current format, between the hassle of changing it everywhere and it generally being adequate. But maybe not; especially once I've actually expereinced this feature myself. (Rematches have generally been one of the last things I've ever cared about, though...) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:55, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::Having five rematches in one table entry and forcing people to rely on tooltips is not a good method of presentation. I know I'm taking on a lot of potential projects, but once a potential new format is agreed upon for OR/AS (starting with OR/AS as it's incomplete), we can move it back for R/S/E as well on the same pages, and move it to other regions at a later time. I can handle all OR/AS rematch data as I'm literally combing the game right now; I'll just have to remember to check EVERYTHING.
::::::I'm creating a userspace page with all I've confirmed so far and notating it at the top, even stating I'll work on it some via Notepad to attempt to reduce the number of edits (I have to bring them in after a few to make sure there are no errors). I'm only including rematch data on it. You'll see it on Recent Changes after I save everything. One thing I think the tables could use is a show/hide format like [[Pikachu_(Pokémon)#In_events|here]]; that would let users expand them if they want that data. I presume mobile users can do that? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:02, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

== Game Location Data ==

I've seen this both ways, so I'm asking. Has a consensus been established (link me if possible?) as to whether the text boxes for OR/AS under game location data (on all Pokédex pages) should both have white text or dark text? I've seen mostly dark at first so made that a standard edit, but the last three or four all show white text. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:I don't know for sure. I ''think'' black text is "supposed" to be "right", or intended/believed so by a few people (at this point in time, that's mostly just an impression I can't solidly back up), but I honestly think the ORAS colors are a little too dark to contrast with black text well, so I actually prefer the white, myself. But I've not at all tried to force or argue that opinion anywhere. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:28, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
::I've seen both in use. Sometimes, I only see one (I have seen OR white and AS dark on the same line). So yeah, everyone seems to be doing their own thing until the data is added, then it can be made uniform later I guess. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 01:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:::Just talked to Kogs about it. The consensus is that white text should be used for both OR and AS. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:32, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Check. All right, I'll have to review all of the Hoenn Pokémon pages; I've seen both black and white used in the Pokédex entries as well. Tiddlywinks, feel free to nab any before I get to 'em if you're in the area anyway. Or, HT14, would using a bot be better? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::Just refer to me as ht or ht14 =P Uhh, I do not have control of any bots. I would say manual is better; while you're at it, you could add Pokédex entries (aha! that's the word) that you may have missed first-hand. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 04:37, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::Since I'll be in the area anyway for some edits, I will certainly notice if anything is missing, so that should not be a problem. I'll copy the colour text on the clipboard so I can just throw it in; I have to check doing both at once on the location entries since most lines will have both at once, too. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== Wailmer ==
I see the difference now. I think it's possible just to superscript both in the same line. I'll demonstrate in a moment. If it was the only place to find in each game, I'd have no problem with separate entries, but with so many entries superscripts is the way to go, I think. I'll look into this change for anything else found in the water area entering the hideout as well (I think Tentacool is in that group among others). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:10, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wailmer_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&curid=2673&diff=2229188&oldid=2229182 Done.] Let me know if there's still any problem with that. Still cleaner than listing everything twice. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:13, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
::{{p|Basculin}} has similar problems, being split between B/W and B2/W2 because of Blue-striped vs Red-striped, despite a significant string of locations (not quite approaching Wailmer, though). If I wanted to spend more time searching, I'm sure I could find more examples than those just in the hideouts, too. And then there's probably some number of Pokemon who have a small number of identical locations, with one that's different between versions.
::If you want to "fix" this sort of problem, I think you should consult a staff member first. I have a feeling, though, that it simply defeats the purpose of the template.
::Also: if you don't expect to take long, it'd probably be wiser to just prep your edit and your message and post both at the same time, rather than leaving two messages here just a short interval apart. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
:::My bad, for some reason I thought you were a staff member. I will definitely suggest it though (not this moment, but at some point) as I've seen the practice in use elsewhere in other templates; I don't think it would be an issue, but yeah, not our call either way. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:45, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

== Fansites as sources ==

Hello. I just wanted to drop a friendly reminder since I saw this mentioned in one of your edit summaries. Fansite, including Serebii, are never acceptable sources for mainspace, intended mainspace articles, or information intended to be added to articles. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 05:52, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:All information I have has a source here. But in some cases I used Serebii to figure out where that information is, because it wasn't complete or obvious here (to me at least). As an example: I had Togepi marked as unobtainable in ORAS. Checking Serebii's unobtainables, I saw Togepi wasn't in that list, looked up Togepi's location on Serebii and then checked that ([[Lavaridge Town]]) here. Now I have Togepi and its relatives marked correctly. The same sort of thing happened for a few others. But this (using another site to correct a mistake that can be—and is—also verified here) is not against any rules to my knowledge. You shall have to enlighten me if I am mistaken.
:I know well to confirm things from other sites as much as possible, and to try to hold them at arm's length if it's not possible. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::So long as you doublecheck it in hard-copy yourself, that should be fine. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 06:07, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

== Rematches ==

Can you do a quick scan of the page right now and make sure there are no obvious errors? I'm still questioning the Timothy one because I have no unlockables between the Balance and Feather Badges, but other than that I think the bulk of it is correct. I mentioned the Mysterious Sisters on [[Sea Mauville]], however, and that they are pretty much locked in their room until you have Dive, which means either the dump data is incorrect or there's a set of rematches for them that a player can never do without cheating (and I don't know if I can cheat to that extent with the Power Saves to get access to Room 1).

I'll be adding the remaining Routes while on my way to the seventh Badge (since the entire map is unlocked with Mossdeep except for Evergrande and [[Sky Pillar]]. I'll add Meteor Falls and Victory Road either during a lull after that or after getting the final Badge. I may not even have to spend time in AS doing that, either; I can go to OR and pick up in the eight Badge standing (I am saved after a little training right after getting the Badge, haven't even gone to the waterfall yet), then I just have to get to the Pokémon League. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 17:07, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:If a match isn't available, it's of course perfectly fine to just say "X is their first match and Y is their first rematch". And if someone eventually finds a way to get the other match, then it can be added then (if the way to get there is legit; otherwise, it's not worth it).
:I've been messing with XY a bit so in ORAS I'm still just in Slateport. So, just scanning your page, I can't say there's much obviously wrong. I'll check Timothy when I can. And I thought about using the dumped Trainer data to check if the Pokemon where you have uncertain items (mostly "Oran Berry?") actually have those items, but I haven't gotten around to that. That's all I can say right now. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
::I've been checking Oran Berries by attacking such that they are under half their life, rather than completely KOing them. So far, all Oran Berries are verified, but I'm suspicious of Sitrus Berries in the final rematches. I need to bring my Linoone (Covet; Skitty learns it eventually, as well) into a few battles to see if other items can be found on other Trainers. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 18:15, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:::If you're intent on checking it in-game, it's a lot simpler to use a {{a|Frisk}}er. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Good point, except it only checks on entering battle. I'd have to keep sending it out and back in. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::Or use two. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:23, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::Haha, yes. But I also have two Covet users. Once levels are high enough, that's easy to do except where three or more are battled - and I can just redo the battle without saving quite easily or do the battle again later. Since most won't have items, it's not going to matter which method is used. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 23:30, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

==About Secret Bases==
I don't know much about the origin of it, but might the Alpha/Beta/Gamma stuff be related to game code? It seems like that'd be an easy a way to list them in the game code. That's the only way I can see it making sense. [[User:Voltdetector|Voltdetector]] ([[User talk:Voltdetector|talk]]) 05:27, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
:The person who added that info left a message at [[Talk:Secret Base#Locations and Layouts]]. In short: It's not. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

HoennLove200: /* Confined Hoopa is only a head? */

==ORAS entries==
I think they've actually changed (unless Formes have separate entries :P), since [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPcLdq7Ilk8&list=UU0A_Jk_KqFcwnEBtyNqolsA this]. Probably because of the new Forme. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:54, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:I have already updated it. thanks for the help in editing!:)[[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 10:26, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Hoopa Confined's Description ==

You must have been looking at the old art (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-410943259) that influenced a lot of people before we could actually get a clear shot of Hoopa. This is a more accurate look at it (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Hoopa-v-2-477350821). Of note, it doesn't have claws on its hands; they're more like mittens. [[User:Alxprit|Alxprit]] ([[User talk:Alxprit|talk]]) 21:08, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

== Japanese Name ==

Hoopa's name in Japanese is フーパ (''Fūpa''), though you probably know this already. [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 05:58, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:See [[User_talk:Phiraptor28/Hoopa (Pokémon)#In other_languages|here]] on the user page. The Japanese is already there, though the ''Fūpa'' part is not. I will leave that to someone else to determine adding, though I believe it can be. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Fūpa is a transliteration of the katakana. The katakana is a transliteration of Hoopa. Therefore, the Japanese name is Hoopa. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:::That's not what I meant... On the right side of the page, where the template for the Pokémon information is located, the kana reads シェイミ (''Sheimi'') instead of フーパ (''Fūpa''). [[User:LittleOmu|LittleOmu]] ([[User talk:LittleOmu|talk]]) 07:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry guys 'coz I copied Shaymin's template to create this page... I'll edit it right away. Thanks to all! [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Prev/Next Bar ==

Guys, please don't change Bulbasaur into Volcanion. Hoopa is going to be released maybe in the next two months, for he's involved in teleporting the [[Weather trio]] to [[Kalos]]. Volcanion will not be released '''simultaneously''' with Hoopa. When Bulbapedia puts this page into the mainspace, Volcanion still won't be in "official" existence. This would yet always end up like this. Even though we know Volcanion exists, he is yet to be acknowledged by Nintendo. So:

{{PokémonPrevNextHead | species=Hoopa | prev=Diancie | next=Bulbasaur | prevnum=719 | nextnum=001 | type=psychic | type2={{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: i}} mod 2}}|0=Ghost|1=Dark}}}}

But then, as you see in my [[User:Phiraptor28/Volcanion_(Pokémon)|Volcanion page]], this would be the only instance that Hoopa and Bulbasaur's pages would be linked together. If Hoopa is revealed, the PrevNext Bar would be 719 - '''720''' - 001. If Volcanion is revealed, it would be 720 - '''721''' - 001. In layman's term, '''DO NOT EDIT THE PREVNEXT BAR TO SOON'''. I hope you bear with me. :) [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 13:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Hiding Unbound information ==

As I'm sure this article will be mainspaced soon, I'm wondering whether or not the Unbound information should be hidden? Seeming Volcanion (and Hoopa until now) don't have mainspaced pages because of their unofficially revealed status, that the Unbound information should be omitted because its basically in the same boat as Volcanion. I'm absolutely certain the Unbound forme will be officially revealed before July, but still, the fact remains until then it's not officially released information until then. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 15:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with this because a lot of Diancie's information was also hidden last year until more information was officially announced and it eventually became obtainable in an official event. [[User:Water Max|Water Max]] ([[User talk:Water Max|talk]]) 13:19, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:I agree as well. Hoopa's unbound form has not been officially revealed by Nintendo yet (to my knowledge), so I don't think we should have it on this page. [[User:ShermTank7272|ShermTank7272]] ([[User talk:ShermTank7272|talk]]) 18:50, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

== Forme names ==

Is it "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound", or "Confined Forme" and "Unbound Forme"? This article uses them interchangeably, which is incorrect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure if it'll help, but in the ORAS text dump, the file that has things like "Altered Forme", "Overcast Form", and "Mega Diancie" also has "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound" (in that relative order). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It is really '''Hoopa Confined''' or '''Hoopa Unbound'''. As you see, I already put the forme names in the head section of the page, even at the first time I created this. The problem that ''Confined Forme'' and ''Unbound Forme'' came to existence is because when I was creating the infobox (and the evolution section), I learned that the coding of Bulbapedia's Infobox does not recognize the proper order of the names of Hoopa's forme differences; which is because of the previous Pokémon with forme differences, but '''the''' '''''"forme"''''' ''in their formes go'' '''''after''''' '''their forme name.''' Examples are such as ''Sky Forme Shaymin''. Otherwise it would be ''Shaymin Sky'', if we follow Hoopa's format. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's a false equivalence. Just because Hoopa is done this way does not at all mean Shaymin or anything else is "wrong" or contradicted. (Until I can have Hoopa in my own game or see some official (English) usage, I can't offer a real opinion on whether the current way is right or wrong, but I would hazard that it's right.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== The Djinn Pokemon ==

If you read the OR/AS PokeDex Entries with Hoopa Confined as the Forme shown, it displays "Mischief" as it did in X/Y. However, if Unbound is selected when viewing this page, it's called "Djinn" instead. Does any other Pokemon with a Forme Change ever change their [[Species]] name whenever viewed differently in the PokeDex as such? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 13:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, no. Also considering that Hoopa is the only Generation VI Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries in ORAS whereas every other Gen VI Pokemon just reuses theirs from X/Y. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 21:05, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Is Hoopa The New Pixie? ==

Y'know, the small, cute, "fairy"-looking legendary with 600 BST like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini (I consider Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit honorary Pixies because they look a lot like pale Mew with helmets, and they have similar sizes to the rest of the pixies, but they don't have 600 BST's)?
Hoopa would also be the first Pixie Legendary to not have an equal 100/100/100/100/100/100 spread, and the second to have an item-linked Forme change after Shaymin (who has both Land and Sky).
And the first to have slight involvement in a game's storyline since Mew (both are directly alluded to in their respective games. Mew with the Pokémon Mansion journals, and Hoopa with the Mirage Spots).--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:"Small" is subjective, "cute" and "'fairy'-looking" are opinionated, and "600 BST" is a trait shared by a TON of Mythical Pokémon beyond just those six, meaning that the only ''factual'' relation between specifically them is that they are all Mythical and have straight-100 stats. Hoopa is Mythical, but since it doesn't meet the ''only'' other criterium, it doesn't qualify, so rather than being considered "the only Pixie not to have straight-100 stats," I would just not call it a Pixie. Please remember that this has to all be fact-based, so we can't just categorize Pokémon based on similar appearances - if Hoopa counted as a pixie despite not having straight-100 stats, then wouldn't Diancie and even Darkrai also have to? They also have BSTs of 600 and are Mythical; they, ''like Hoopa,'' lack the straight-100 stats, but if Hoopa counts, there's no reason for them not to count. I don't think Hoopa can be grouped with the Pixies - we ''didn't'' count Diancie and Darkrai, did we? [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 11:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Subject? Likely. Either way, [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Cute Legendary Pokémon|we have a definition on the Appendix]]. (Though, they are not called Pixies.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::So is that a yes or a no? Hoopa seems to fit the entire definition in the Appendix aside from the 100 stat spread. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 09:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::::It doesn't meet the definition (as you said yourself), so it isn't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== Pokemon Infobox problem ==

Hoopa's forms don't work entirely right in the Pokemon infobox. Under the images, it says "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" instead of "Hoopa Confined/Unbound". This should be corrected somehow. (If I had to make a suggestion, my first would be to just create a special template. ...Which might also be useful for the handling the dual species names.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:53, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure I understand the problem. The same template used there, I think, is used for all Megas (see {{p|Altaria}} for instance). Once we have proper art for both forms and more than a magazine clipping, it'll make a lot more sense, I think. Right now, the text replaces an image that does not exist. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::All right, based on your edit, I see what you mean now. I'm curious which one the game uses, as that's the one that we should prioritize to. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::...Do you? (See what I "mean".) Are you talking about species names (which is the thing I just edited), or form names? The species names are a complete tangent here. The form names are the real issue here, and are wrong as shown under the images (and this will not change when proper images are in place, or make any new "sense"; "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" is simply ''wrong''). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:19, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Um, yes. I "do". =P
::::What I mean, though, is what will the Pokédex use? When you receive it, it goes in the Pokédex, then you look at it, and it says either "The Mischief Pokémon" or "The Djinn Pokémon". Whichever one the Pokédex uses takes priority, though I'm not against prose that the other term is also used (I think we want to go away from tooltips for mobile users). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::I think the species names should pretty much stay entirely in the infobox. Even if the infobox never changes. I mean, the only way I can think of explaining it in prose just comes off as trivia. Ideally, though, the infobox should differentiate them better than the current solution. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::It could be set up like the game locations box and allow for the variable "species2" or something like that. When it's defined as anything, a line break is added followed by the text presented in "species2". [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

== Possible name inspiration ==

In addition to the obvious "Hoop" part of its name, I think Hoopa could also be referencing OOPArts, or "out-of-place artifacts". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
It certainly fits with its theme of teleporting objects to seemingly random locations. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle (Silverlucario)]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 03:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hmm, seems like it [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]06:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::No, I really don't think "''an object [...] found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" well before humans were supposed to exist''" is at all related to Hoopa. Just because Hoopa ''could'' be the cause does not at all mean it's reasonable. Until such a case is actually mentioned, you're theorizing on the consequences of Hoopa's habits much too far without real subtantiation (i.e., it's just a huge guess).

== Time travel description ==

This little sentence makes it seem as if the author was the time traveller:
'''It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine on January 10, 2015.'''
Either the date is wrong, or it should be changed to either:
'''It will be officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''(as mentioning the date twice makes it sound weird)

'''It was officially revealed in the leaked February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''

:I'm not sure if it'll help, but in the ORAS text dump, the file that has things like "Altered Forme", "Overcast Form", and "Mega Diancie" also has "Hoopa Confined" and "Hoopa Unbound" (in that relative order). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:26, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::It is really '''Hoopa Confined''' or '''Hoopa Unbound'''. As you see, I already put the forme names in the head section of the page, even at the first time I created this. The problem that ''Confined Forme'' and ''Unbound Forme'' came to existence is because when I was creating the infobox (and the evolution section), I learned that the coding of Bulbapedia's Infobox does not recognize the proper order of the names of Hoopa's forme differences; which is because of the previous Pokémon with forme differences, but '''the''' '''''"forme"''''' ''in their formes go'' '''''after''''' '''their forme name.''' Examples are such as ''Sky Forme Shaymin''. Otherwise it would be ''Shaymin Sky'', if we follow Hoopa's format. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 06:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::::That's a false equivalence. Just because Hoopa is done this way does not at all mean Shaymin or anything else is "wrong" or contradicted. (Until I can have Hoopa in my own game or see some official (English) usage, I can't offer a real opinion on whether the current way is right or wrong, but I would hazard that it's right.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:02, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== The Djinn Pokemon ==

If you read the OR/AS PokeDex Entries with Hoopa Confined as the Forme shown, it displays "Mischief" as it did in X/Y. However, if Unbound is selected when viewing this page, it's called "Djinn" instead. Does any other Pokemon with a Forme Change ever change their [[Species]] name whenever viewed differently in the PokeDex as such? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 13:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

:As far as I can tell, no. Also considering that Hoopa is the only Generation VI Pokémon with unique Pokédex entries in ORAS whereas every other Gen VI Pokemon just reuses theirs from X/Y. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 21:05, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

== Is Hoopa The New Pixie? ==

Y'know, the small, cute, "fairy"-looking legendary with 600 BST like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Shaymin and Victini (I consider Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit honorary Pixies because they look a lot like pale Mew with helmets, and they have similar sizes to the rest of the pixies, but they don't have 600 BST's)?
Hoopa would also be the first Pixie Legendary to not have an equal 100/100/100/100/100/100 spread, and the second to have an item-linked Forme change after Shaymin (who has both Land and Sky).
And the first to have slight involvement in a game's storyline since Mew (both are directly alluded to in their respective games. Mew with the Pokémon Mansion journals, and Hoopa with the Mirage Spots).--[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:"Small" is subjective, "cute" and "'fairy'-looking" are opinionated, and "600 BST" is a trait shared by a TON of Mythical Pokémon beyond just those six, meaning that the only ''factual'' relation between specifically them is that they are all Mythical and have straight-100 stats. Hoopa is Mythical, but since it doesn't meet the ''only'' other criterium, it doesn't qualify, so rather than being considered "the only Pixie not to have straight-100 stats," I would just not call it a Pixie. Please remember that this has to all be fact-based, so we can't just categorize Pokémon based on similar appearances - if Hoopa counted as a pixie despite not having straight-100 stats, then wouldn't Diancie and even Darkrai also have to? They also have BSTs of 600 and are Mythical; they, ''like Hoopa,'' lack the straight-100 stats, but if Hoopa counts, there's no reason for them not to count. I don't think Hoopa can be grouped with the Pixies - we ''didn't'' count Diancie and Darkrai, did we? [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 11:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::Subject? Likely. Either way, [[Appendix:Fan terminology#Cute Legendary Pokémon|we have a definition on the Appendix]]. (Though, they are not called Pixies.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::So is that a yes or a no? Hoopa seems to fit the entire definition in the Appendix aside from the 100 stat spread. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 09:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::::It doesn't meet the definition (as you said yourself), so it isn't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

== Pokemon Infobox problem ==

Hoopa's forms don't work entirely right in the Pokemon infobox. Under the images, it says "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" instead of "Hoopa Confined/Unbound". This should be corrected somehow. (If I had to make a suggestion, my first would be to just create a special template. ...Which might also be useful for the handling the dual species names.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:53, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:I'm not sure I understand the problem. The same template used there, I think, is used for all Megas (see {{p|Altaria}} for instance). Once we have proper art for both forms and more than a magazine clipping, it'll make a lot more sense, I think. Right now, the text replaces an image that does not exist. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 19:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::All right, based on your edit, I see what you mean now. I'm curious which one the game uses, as that's the one that we should prioritize to. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::...Do you? (See what I "mean".) Are you talking about species names (which is the thing I just edited), or form names? The species names are a complete tangent here. The form names are the real issue here, and are wrong as shown under the images (and this will not change when proper images are in place, or make any new "sense"; "Confined/Unbound Hoopa" is simply ''wrong''). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:19, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::Um, yes. I "do". =P
::::What I mean, though, is what will the Pokédex use? When you receive it, it goes in the Pokédex, then you look at it, and it says either "The Mischief Pokémon" or "The Djinn Pokémon". Whichever one the Pokédex uses takes priority, though I'm not against prose that the other term is also used (I think we want to go away from tooltips for mobile users). [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::I think the species names should pretty much stay entirely in the infobox. Even if the infobox never changes. I mean, the only way I can think of explaining it in prose just comes off as trivia. Ideally, though, the infobox should differentiate them better than the current solution. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:42, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
::::::It could be set up like the game locations box and allow for the variable "species2" or something like that. When it's defined as anything, a line break is added followed by the text presented in "species2". [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 21:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

== Possible name inspiration ==

In addition to the obvious "Hoop" part of its name, I think Hoopa could also be referencing OOPArts, or "out-of-place artifacts". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact
It certainly fits with its theme of teleporting objects to seemingly random locations. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle (Silverlucario)]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 03:32, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

:Hmm, seems like it [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]06:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
::No, I really don't think "''an object [...] found in a very unusual or seemingly impossible context that could challenge conventional historical chronology by being "too advanced" for the level of civilization that existed at the time, or showing "human presence" well before humans were supposed to exist''" is at all related to Hoopa. Just because Hoopa ''could'' be the cause does not at all mean it's reasonable. Until such a case is actually mentioned, you're theorizing on the consequences of Hoopa's habits much too far without real subtantiation (i.e., it's just a huge guess).

== Time travel description ==

This little sentence makes it seem as if the author was the time traveller:
'''It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine on January 10, 2015.'''
Either the date is wrong, or it should be changed to either:
'''It will be officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''(as mentioning the date twice makes it sound weird)
or
'''It was officially revealed in the leaked February 2015 issue of CoroCoro magazine.'''

Confined Hoopa seemed to have "hands". Is this true that Confined Hoopa has no arms and legs?

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cerulean Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Misty's title is "The Tomboyish Mermaid." Her strategy is an all-out attack with Water-type Pokémon.

Misty is constantly looking for ways to improve her technique. A swimmer herself, she trains at the [[Seafoam Islands]]. As Misty becomes a stronger Trainer, she becomes the only one in her town who can defeat the Trainers at [[Kanto Route 25|Cerulean's cape]].

It is said that Misty has high hopes for the north cape, a romantic date spot. In later years, she is seen there with an unidentified boyfriend. She dislikes pests who bother her when she's on a date.

Misty worships [[Lorelei]] of the [[Elite Four]]. It's Misty's dream to travel one day. She wishes to meet many strong Trainers, such as {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} from [[Johto]] who defeats her in battle.

In addition to the Cascade Badge, Misty gives out {{TM|11|BubbleBeam}} in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she gives out {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, she doesn't give out a [[TM]], but in its remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} she gives out {{TM|03|Water Pulse}} again.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the player wants to rebattle her, the player must go to {{rt|25|Kanto}} between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM on any day, after {{p|Suicune}} is captured or defeated. She can be found right at the end of Cerulean Cape, staring out into sea. Then, on Wednesday mornings, she can be called to arrange a rematch.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Misty and Azurill.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty in the anime]]
{{main|Misty (anime)}}
Misty is a {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of the anime's main character, [[Ash Ketchum]]. After he stole her bike and proceeded to accidentally destroy it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Misty followed him around the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago]], and [[Johto]] region, using the time she spent with him to further her goal of being the greatest Water Pokémon Trainer.

At the end of the [[original series]], Misty's bike was returned and repaired by the [[Nurse Joy]] of [[Viridian City]], and as [[the Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] were leaving on a world tour, Misty stayed at the Cerulean Gym as its leader in order to keep it open.

Despite this drawback, she still visits Ash from time to time, meeting up with him during the Mirage Kingdom and Battle Frontier arcs of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Misty PO.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty in Pokémon Origins]]
Misty appeared briefly in the episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'' of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. She was shown being challenged by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, who later defeated her off-screen, earning the {{badge|Cascade}}.

====Pokémon====
{{TrainerPoké
|width=75

|pkmn=Starmie

|epnum=PO02
|epname=File 2 - Cubone
|desc={{p|Starmie}} is Misty's only known Pokémon. She used it in her Gym battle against {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, but ended up being defeated.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
{{main|Misty (anime)#In the Ash and Pikachu manga|Misty (anime)}}
Misty appears in [[Ash and Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} based on the Pokémon anime. Like in the anime, she is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} alongside {{an|Brock}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Misty (anime)#In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Misty (anime)}}
Misty appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} adaptation of the Pokémon anime.

Unlike in the anime, she does not travel with {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} constantly, though she does make many appearances.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Misty (anime)#In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga|Misty (anime) → In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga}}
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Misty and Brock.png|left|thumb|Misty with her {{p|Starmie}} and Brock with his {{p|Geodude}}]]
Misty debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' when {{adv|Red}} saves her from her enraged Gyarados, which has been experimented on by [[Team Rocket]]. After they recapture the Pokémon, Red and Misty join forces to defeat Team Rocket and find the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Misty is knocked out by a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}'s {{p|Rhydon}}.

As is shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'', she lives in a large mansion and has a horde of maids that look after her. Here she defeats Red in the [[Cerulean Gym]] and trains with him a couple of days to make them both stronger. At the end of this round she gives Red the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

[[File:Misty Dressed up.png|thumb|Misty dressed up]]
Later, Red wants to teach his Pokémon {{m|Surf}}, but the [[HM]] he tries to acquire is destroyed in a battle with a wild {{p|Dragonite}}. Misty saves Red from drowning; he at first, mistakes her for a mermaid. As Red's one hope of teaching his Pokémon Surf has been utterly demolished, Misty [[trade]]s Red her Gyarados for his Krabby. They have each other's Pokémon in their respective [[party|parties]] to this day.

She is then seen in the {{chap|Yellow}} talking with Professor Oak about Red's disappearance and worries about him, especially after hearing that Oak gave Red's Pokédex and [[Pika]] to {{adv|Yellow}}, who she considered a random stranger. She was then seen teaming up with the other 'good' Gym Leaders of Kanto to thwart {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles, then possessed by Agatha's Gastly and attempting to retrieve Pika. After the event, she meets Yellow for the first time and gives her an {{p|Omanyte}}. She was also seen being stalled by Agatha, who forced Cerulean under attack by a group of Gastly and Haunter. They finally retrieve what they were really after all along, her Gym Badge. Misty had her Starmie go to [[Cerise Island]] and give the message to the others.

Unlike in the anime, Misty has changed her hairstyle later on to match the one worn by her in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, during the second Team Rocket crisis, {{p|Suicune}} lured Misty into a battle underneath [[Tohjo Falls]] and later offered to be her partner. The recruitment somehow gave her strength and confidence, as she was able to easily defeat [[Whitney]] in her exhibition match at the Indigo Plateau. However, she later becomes injured in the battle with the [[Masked Man]], and Suicune goes on to take {{adv|Crystal}} as its second partner for the battle's climax.

Misty seems to have a crush on Red. It is however, considered distinct from Misty's [[PokéShipping|suspected crush]] on Ash in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and in other manga. During the second Team Rocket crisis, [[Erika]] observes that Misty is planning on making some sort of confession of romantic feelings to Red. It is unlikely, however, that she ever managed to carry out this plan.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Misty PM.png|thumb|150px|Misty in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga]]
[[File:Brock Misty PMRS.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty in the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga]]
The slapstick manga, [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], depicts Misty differently than in other manga. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, the protagonist of the series, is seeking a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} along with his Pikachu and his Clefairy. When they meet Misty, Clefairy notices that she is wearing a Moon Stone as a necklace. She declares that they battle her if they wish to have it. While the Clefairy is initially pumped up to battle, he quickly changes his mind when he sees that his opponent is a massive {{p|Blastoise}}. After a while, the battle is won when Clefairy sucks up all the water in a nearby river and releases the water onto Misty's Pokémon, sending it flying into the sky. Just when Misty is about to reward Red's group with the prize they sought, it gets stolen by someone else.

She is seen again when Red participates in the No. 1 Pokémon contest acting as a judge and when he went to a swimming pool.

Misty lent him her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} while in the Pokémon League as Red needed extra support in order to defeat Green.

Misty reappears in ''[[PMRSs1|Clefairy, Form Teacher Of Class 1P!!]]'' in a form of a cameo where she is seen wearing her outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

|desc=Misty gave Togepi to Red temporarily and he gave it back to her later on.}}

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
When {{Zensho|Satoshi}} arrives at the [[Cerulean Gym]], he is given a pair of swimming trunks as that is all that is allowed inside the pool arena. Misty appears soon after, [[PokéShipping|prompting a blush from him]]. Soon after, during the battle, he sends out his {{AP|Charmander}}, which is afraid of going near the water since the flame on its tail might go out. His Pikachu is sent next, but having no idea of what to do around the water, it falls in. As he attempts to save his Pokémon, Satoshi gets a cramp and nearly drowns, but Misty manages to rescue him.

Later on, as Satoshi and Pikachu dry themselves off, Misty suggests that she teach them how to properly move around in the water, so they can stand a better chance next time. He trains along with Pikachu, who floats on a life saver. Misty attempts to take the device away from the mouse, only to see that it is clinging to it. Eventually, as Satoshi and Pikachu end up improving. As he sits around with a {{p|Seel}}, Misty relays a story over how a {{p|Dewgong}} rescued her once when a large wave swept her underwater at the beach. Due to that experience, she feels gratitude toward the Pokémon.

After Satoshi thwarts an attack by a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, she awards him with the {{Badge|Cascade}} and her Seel, telling him that she hopes to meet the Dewgong that rescued her someday.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}.

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of Pokémon Ruby and its remake Pokémon Omega Ruby, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin that act as armor. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with grey markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

As Primal Groudon, its appearance is similar to Groudon but bigger. Its skin color changes from dark red to bright red with its underside and spikes turing black. The spike on its tail are now separate from each other. The Omega symbol is now shown on its arms. Its eyes and armor plating have change to bright yellow. The eyes also have red iris around them. The energy that fills Primal Groudon pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon</ref>

It is said to be the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]], bearing immense power over heat and light and using that to evaporate flooded lands. It sleeps {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|underground}} in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. If it encounters its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, they will engage in a cataclysmic battle. Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|Groudon in the anime]]
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wished to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Primal Groudon is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
Groudon made its debut in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

Groudon makes a cameo during the introduction of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Groudon was briefly seen in [[SS031]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
[[Ryū Tendō]] owns a Groudon which debuted in [[ABM10]].

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
Groudon appeared in ''[[GRT5|Why I Became a Pokémon. The Answer Finally Revealed!!]]'' and ''[[GRT6|Tears and Emotions - It's the Final Chapter!]]''.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it will be knocked back and receive damage. Its attack is similar to that of {{p|Moltres}}, except that Groudon's is much larger and lasts longer. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals a lighter knock-back and less damage; making it very hard to KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, the player's team have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake Groudon in M06]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Primal Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon.
* Groudon shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* The [[Groudon (M06)|fake Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is much taller than its game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon [[AG097|later]] [[AG098|appeared]] in the anime series, it is much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Primal Groudon is the only Pokémon that is immune to Water-type moves that does not have Water Absorb or Storm Drain as its ability, Besides {{p|Shedinja}}, since it has Wonder Guard.

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time, Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the Behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way, {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the Leviathan.

Instead, Groudon is based on a dinosaur of some kind. Its appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'', such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}.

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of Pokémon Ruby and its remake Pokémon Omega Ruby, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin that act as armor. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with grey markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

As Primal Groudon, its appearance is similar to Groudon but bigger. Its skin color changes from dark red to bright red with its underside and spikes turing black. The spike on its tail are now separate from each other. The Omega symbol is now shown on its arms. Its eyes and armor plating have change to bright yellow. The eyes also have red iris around them. The energy that fills Primal Groudon pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon</ref>

It is said to be the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]], bearing immense power over heat and light and using that to evaporate flooded lands. It sleeps {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|underground}} in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. If it encounters its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, they will engage in a cataclysmic battle. Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|Groudon in the anime]]
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wished to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
[[Ryū Tendō]] owns a Groudon which debuted in [[ABM10]].

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it will be knocked back and receive damage. Its attack is similar to that of {{p|Moltres}}, except that Groudon's is much larger and lasts longer. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals a lighter knock-back and less damage; making it very hard to KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, the player's team have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake Groudon in M06]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Primal Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon.
* Groudon shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* The [[Groudon (M06)|fake Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is much taller than its game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon [[AG097|later]] [[AG098|appeared]] in the anime series, it is much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Primal Groudon is the only Pokémon that is immune to Water-type moves that does not have Water Absorb or Hydration as its ability, Besides {{p|Shedinja}}, since it has Wonder Guard.

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time, Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the Behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way, {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the Leviathan.

Instead, Groudon is based on a dinosaur of some kind. Its appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'', such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

'''Kyogre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kaiorga'') is a {{type|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Kyogre''' if it holds the {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}}.

Kyogre possesses the ability to expand the oceans. In ancient times, it came into conflict with {{p|Groudon}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand continents. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Alpha Sapphire]], Kyogre is sought after by [[Team Aqua]] as part of their plot to create more habitats for aquatic Pokémon by raising the sea level.

Kyogre is the version mascot of Pokémon Sapphire and its remake Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
Kyogre is a massive whale-like Pokémon with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. It has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Primal Kyogre is similar to Kyogre, but it grows to more than twice its usual size. Its skin color changes to a darker shade of blue. The four trailing parts of its tail are considerably longer and flat at the ends, and each have half-translucent webbing down the middle. Its forehead now has the Alpha symbol, which is connected to the two large oval-shaped spots and tail, and light blue Alpha symbols are seen on each pectoral fin, connecting to the outer nails with a red marking connecting to the inner nails. The red stripes adorning its body become light blue. There are two yellow shaped symbols inside the oval-shaped spots. The white parts of Kyogre's body, as well as the areas between the markings on the pectoral fins, become half-translucent. A mysterious golden light glows from within Primal Kyogre's body.<ref name="Primal">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre</ref>

Kyogre is said to be a powerful Pokémon, having control over the element of water and rain to have quenched areas of the world plagued with drought and to have expanded the seas. Kyogre is normally calm and peaceful, but if it meets its rival, {{p|Groudon}}, Kyogre will engage in a cataclysmic battle against it. In the {{DL|Spin-off Pokémon games|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Mystery Dungeon series}} and [[core series]], Kyogre is able to fly. Kyogre generally lives deep in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}, and is said to rest in a deep trench. Kyogre is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Origin Pulse}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kyogre M09.png|thumb|left|250px|Kyogre in the anime]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Kyogre in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Kyogre's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

Kyogre appeared in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It had appeared along with countless other Water Pokémon when {{Ash}} replaced all of the [[Sea Crown]]'s crystals. However, when [[The Phantom]] attempted to make all the Water types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre too was part of the ensuing commotion. {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} calmed them down using {{m|Heart Swap}} to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some {{p|Wailord}} broke open The Phantom's ship, followed by some {{p|Chinchou}} swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the ship, destroying it.

A Primal Kyogre is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
Kyogre made its debut in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Kyogre was briefly seen in [[SS031]].

Kyogre appeared in ''[[SP28|Saving Kyogre, The Lord Of The Ocean Depths!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Kyogre's first appearance was in ''[[PS233|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon I]]''. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], and [[Winona]] tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference, and it ended up reaching [[Sootopolis City]], where it fought for days on end with {{p|Groudon}}. {{adv|Ruby}}, having trapped {{adv|Sapphire}} in [[Wallace]]'s air car for her safety, was joined by a reformed [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] and succeeded in quelling both the titans using the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s and [[Norman]]'s temporary control over {{p|Rayquaza}}. However, even after Kyogre returned to the [[Seafloor Cavern]], [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] still had plans of reawakening them to kill off anyone who'd oppose their will using the two orbs. Once they were thwarted, the arc ended.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, [[Guile Hideout]] succeeded in having {{p|Jirachi}} create a Kyogre monster that nearly sank the entire {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

[[File:Kyogre SSBB.png|right|thumb|Kyogre in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Kyogre opens its mouth and squirts out {{m|Hydro Pump|a stream of water}}. The water is non-damaging, but causes characters to be knocked back with extreme force. Touching Kyogre's body will do damage. Kyogre also appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Sea Basin Pokémon. It brought down heavy rains, which formed seas and relieved droughts. It is usually found slumbering at the bottom of an ocean trench. Its attack {{m|Sheer Cold}} is a technique so powerful, it causes any opponent it strikes to [[one-hit knockout move|faint instantly]]. In battle, it causes clouds to form and drenches the area in rain. It once had a fierce battle with {{p|Groudon}}."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Kyogre returns as a Master Ball Pokémon in 3DS version with faster movement as well as longer time and more KO ability. It also appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon roughly resembles an orca whale, though its large fins also look a bit like hands. Be wary of its Hydro Pump attack, which is capable of sending you flying off the stage. Even worse, it will chase after you, making it even harder to recover from the attack.''

'''PAL''': ''This orca-like Water-type Pokémon is known for the distinctive shape of its fins ad the red markings along its body. It will use Hydro Pump to send fighters flying off the stage, and then proceed to chase after them to mae recovering from the attack a nightmare. ''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Kyogre is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Sapphire Field]]. Kyogre will first use {{m|Sheer Cold}} to freeze the ball in place. It will then create {{m|whirlpool}}s to trap the ball further. Finally, it will {{m|dive}} into the water to evade being hit completely. However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Kyogre will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Kyogre is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Aqua-Monica]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Marina.png|thumb|Marina's Kyogre Costume]]
* [[Palace Maven Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
* Primal Kyogre has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat, {{stat|Special Defense}} base stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Kyogre and its counterpart, {{p|Groudon}}, are the only Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Marina has a [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] based on Kyogre.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Surf}} will allow the player to travel more quickly on water than with other Pokémon. This action has its own animation and larger hitbox.
* Primal Kyogre is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{Type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Primal Kyogre is the only Pokémon to be immune to Fire-Type moves that does not have Flash Fire as its ability.

===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Leviathan}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sea. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Kyogre is in conflict with Groudon, it was said that at the end of time Leviathan and Behemoth would start a battle that would kill them both. The Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from whales, especially the {{wp|orca}}. Kyogre could also be based on Hayo and Lakandanum, the gods of the sea of the {{wp|Philippine mythology}}.

====Name origin====
Kyogre and Kaiorga may be a combination of 海 ''kai'' (ocean) and ''{{wp|killer whale|orca}}'' (a species described as a whale, but is more closely related to dolphins). Notably, it may also involve 海王 ''kaiō'' (king of the sea), which are the first two characters in 海王星 ''Kaiōsei'' ({{wp|Neptune}}). It may also be derived from {{wp|tidal bore|eygre}}, a tidal phenomenon.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}.

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of Pokémon Ruby and its remake Pokémon Omega Ruby, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin that act as armor. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with grey markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

As Primal Groudon, its appearance is similar to Groudon but bigger. Its skin color changes from dark red to bright red with its underside and spikes turing black. The spike on its tail are now separate from each other. The Omega symbol is now shown on its arms. Its eyes and armor plating have change to bright yellow. The eyes also have red iris around them. The energy that fills Primal Groudon pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon</ref>

It is said to be the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]], bearing immense power over heat and light and using that to evaporate flooded lands. It sleeps {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|underground}} in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. If it encounters its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, they will engage in a cataclysmic battle. Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|Groudon in the anime]]
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wished to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Primal Groudon is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

===Minor appearances===
Groudon made its debut in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

Groudon makes a cameo during the introduction of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Groudon was briefly seen in [[SS031]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
[[Ryū Tendō]] owns a Groudon which debuted in [[ABM10]].

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it will be knocked back and receive damage. Its attack is similar to that of {{p|Moltres}}, except that Groudon's is much larger and lasts longer. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals a lighter knock-back and less damage; making it very hard to KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, the player's team have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake Groudon in M06]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Primal Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon.
* Groudon shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* The [[Groudon (M06)|fake Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is much taller than its game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon [[AG097|later]] [[AG098|appeared]] in the anime series, it is much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Primal Groudon is the only Fire-type Pokémon that is immune to Water-type moves that does not have Water Absorb or Hydration as its ability, Besides {{p|Shedinja}}, since it has Wonder Guard.

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time, Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the Behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way, {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the Leviathan.

Instead, Groudon is based on a dinosaur of some kind. Its appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'', such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

==In other languages==

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the {{DL|Colored orbs|Red Orb}}.

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, and [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby]], Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of Pokémon Ruby and its remake Pokémon Omega Ruby, appearing on the boxart of both.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[weather trio]].

==Biology==
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin that act as armor. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with grey markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

As Primal Groudon, its appearance is similar to Groudon but bigger. Its skin color changes from dark red to bright red with its underside and spikes turing black. The spike on its tail are now separate from each other. The Omega symbol is now shown on its arms. Its eyes and armor plating have change to bright yellow. The eyes also have red iris around them. The energy that fills Primal Groudon pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon</ref>

It is said to be the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]], bearing immense power over heat and light and using that to evaporate flooded lands. It sleeps {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|underground}} in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. If it encounters its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, they will engage in a cataclysmic battle. Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|Groudon in the anime]]
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Primal Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wished to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

A Primal Groudon is set to appear in [[M18|the eighteenth movie]].

[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it will be knocked back and receive damage. Its attack is similar to that of {{p|Moltres}}, except that Groudon's is much larger and lasts longer. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals a lighter knock-back and less damage; making it very hard to KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

====Trophy information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, the player's team have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake Groudon in M06]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Primal Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon.
* Groudon shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** It also has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* The [[Groudon (M06)|fake Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is much taller than its game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon [[AG097|later]] [[AG098|appeared]] in the anime series, it is much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Primal Groudon is the only Fire-type Pokémon that is immune to Water-type moves that does not have Water Absorb or Hydration as its ability, not counting {{p|Shedinja}}, since it has Wonder Guard.

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time, Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the Behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way, {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the Leviathan.

Instead, Groudon is based on a dinosaur of some kind. Its appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'', such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=ground|type2=ground

* "<nowiki>are the secondary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation VI]]</nowiki>" implies that every subsequent generation has had "secondary paired versions" (a phrase that is being used to represent both remakes and sequels), which is incorrect.

::Thanks, trom. However, it says that November 2014 is the release ''date'', but I think this should say ''release period''. Also, "PAccording to the press release which announced the games" should be "According to the press release that announced the games". Some users seem to think that ''which'' can replace ''that'' in this instance because I see it often, but this is folly. For instance, the phrasing "The book, which I read last night, was exciting" must use ''which'' and not ''that'', while "The book that I read last night was exciting" is the opposite (but may also omit ''that'' entirely). —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] (UTC) 09:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

== Use of the word Remake ==

Should we really use the word "remake" quite yet?

I know from previous patterns, the naming of the games and all that points to remakes, but at this point in time they might just be sequels or new games entirely. They even mention a new world, and the guy who gives the idol mentions a new region, so this might not take place in Hoenn at all.

I'm really just playing devil's advocate here, but we should watch the wording on the article for now. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

=='Oras' is the Lithuanian word for 'Weather'==
The name of the games is likely a play on the letters theme started with XY (ie. the Greek letters 'Α' and 'Ω'), and the Lithuanian word for weather, [https://translate.google.com/#en/lt/weather Oras] -- weather being one of the prominent elements of RSE. Sounds like a interesting fact to add to the Trivia section. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash Pokemaster]] ([[User talk:Ash Pokemaster|talk]]) 13:07, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

:It could also be a reference to the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega" in the Book of Revelation. Usually the phrase refers to Christ or God and typically is taken as meaning "I am the Beginning and the End". Possibly a hint that the story could involve Pokemon gods in some way. Interesting to note that Arceus is the 'Alpha' Pokemon according to the Pokedex and is the closest thing to a Pokemon 'God' we've seen as it was supposedly the creator of the Pokemon world. Perhaps we might see the 'Omega' Pokemon, or in other words, the 'End' or destroyer. (Basically the Pokemon Satan) - [[User:PsychoP|PsychoP]] ([[User talk:PsychoP|talk]]) 18:01, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

==No evident that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are in the Generation VI==
We should at least wait for the announcement of cross-game communication of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to be sure if they are indeed Generation VI. And according to this:
:"A generation, in terms of the Pokémon franchise, is a subset of the series that debuted or is set around the same time, focusing on the same region, and featuring the same Pokémon."
I don't think they are Generation VI at all if we go by this definition. We should probably change that. Besides, Generations may be separated by their methods of inter-game communications. I don't think, currently, there is anything we can say about battling or sending Pokemon from or to these games from or to X and Y.

:::It's obviously generation VI. That is a guaranteed fact. Sure, it hasn't been stated, but it doesn't need to be stated. Generation VI is the current generation. Each generation starts with a brand new game in a brand new region with brand new Pokémon. It won't start with a remake. It's only logical that this is a Generation VI game. Also, it's being released on the same generation console as other Gen VI games which further backs up this point. It's Gen VI and although it hasn't been stated, there is enough evidence to make that claim. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 12:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

::::: In my honest opinion (although everyones views are different as I can see on here lol) but until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should be considered Generation VI games until further notice, and also, a lot of clues and hints in Pokemon X and Y further hinted that Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire would be remade, so it makes sense (to me anyways), but also Generation VI is not completed yet (that we know of) as we have seen in all other generations that either a 3rd game (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) or in the case of Generation V (Black 2 and White 2) were released to complete a Generation. And just like Generation III we had Ruby & Sapphire release first followed by FireRed & LeafGreen then Emerald, then in Generation IV we had Diamond, Pearl, Platinum then followed by HeartGold & SoulSilver. So far it seems that Generation VI is following the pattern of Generation III (so far, that is). But mind you, thats just my opinion, but like I said at the start of my "rant" (lol) until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should still be considered Generation VI until further notice. Demers-Vachon 10:44, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::I agree. They never start a generation with remakes. They only start a generation with a new region full of new Pokémon. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire would more likely focus on the Generation III Pokémon than to introduce new ones. In FireRed and LeafGreen, you only met the original 150 Pokémon before getting the National Pokédex to catch Johto Pokémon and trade with Hoenn for the then-current Pokémon. FireRed LeafGreen didn't introduce any new Pokémon. They only brought back the classic Pokémon. HeartGold and SoulSilver did tweak the Johto Pokédex a bit to include five Gen IV evolutions that resulted from moves (although, I don't get why they didn't just put a move tutor in Kanto.) So HeartGold and SoulSilver didn't introduce any Pokémon. And X and Y had just came out last October. That was only 7 months ago, so if Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire started Generation VII, Gen 6 would be the shortest generation ever. The possibility of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire starting a new generation is slim. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:16, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::::I agree that these should be considered Generation VI, at least until we discover otherwise. While it is possible that we may get a new generation, the odds are incredibly small. Additionally, Pokémon tends to keep all of its media together. Even if X and Y are the only video games in Generation VI, I find it unlikely that Nintendo would push for a Generation VII when Ash Ketchum still has to finish his journey through Kalos in the anime, the Pokémon Adventures X and Y chapter is just getting started, and not even all Generation VI Pokémon have been made available as TCG cards. Heck, we still have yet to see the release of Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa in the video games, so even the video games cannot be finished here. Finally, I must correct you on something, SeanWheeler. FireRed and LeafGreen did actually introduce a new Pokémon: Deoxys. There were no events for it prior to the release of FRLG and when the events occurred, it could only be obtained in FRLG, not in Ruby and Sapphire. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 22:37, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, please remind me if "Generations" are the official creations or simply how it is defined in the fandom? I think we should judge if certain titles are in a certain generation according to an objective definition. I understand that it is highly probable to see it released as in the Generation VI. But this is not a confirmed fact or official announcement, but a derived theory. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 22:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
:The term generation has been used by official sources, such as Pokemon.com and the boxes of DP. Several traits that typically signify a new generation are not present, like no new region and no new Pokémon. Frankly, I think this whole argument is pointless. It's obvious that it's going to be released within this generation and at this rate we'll only keep going around in circles. It's really not worth continuing.

::: I agree with what "Pokemaster" had said earlier, this topic is just going around in circles until the games are released in November. I do firmly believe that Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire is part of Generation VI. If those games were to begin Generation VII, then I highly doubt they would have had Ash in Kalos, or if they did, he would have gotten 6 to 7 gym badges by now (more in reference to the Japan episodes that has aired already not the English ones) and from what I have seen, he so far only has one gym badge obtained and caught 2 pokemon (Froakie & Fletchling). But thats just my thoughts about it. Demers-Vachon 08:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

::::::It's possible they will add more pokemon, but only gen VI ones, I doubt they'll touch the original gens ones...

It is going in circles and no conclusion can be drawn. This is precisely what I wanted to say: We don't have official confirmation on which Generation this is in. On the page, there is this row: part of Generation VI. It looks like some official words. No matter how logical the derivations are, they are just speculations. There is not any canonical material or announcement making this claim. I have not been questioning its correctness. I have been questioning its validity. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 03:14, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

::While there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VI, there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VII either. It could be either one. So the article should use whichever is more likely, which is Generation VI. You may think that we shouldn't make assumptions like that, but you have to remember that Nintendo never said that X and Y were a part of Generation VI. Or any of the other games were part of their respective Generations. So we will never have any official proof, because the very idea of generations is unofficial. (The boxes of Diamond/Pearl did say "A new generation", but that's just marketing crap. It could have just as easily said "a new adventure". And either way, "a new generation" doesn't necessarily mean Generation IV. For all we know, Nintendo classified every game before DP as a single generation, and every game since then is Generation II). This being the case, even when the games come out, it's likely that we won't know what generation to put. It's entirely fan-made. So, we do the logical thing of putting what most fans would classify this as. And in that regard, there's no reason why we can't put Generation VI now. Of course, when the games come out, if we see that there is enough separating it from X and Y, such as incompatibility, new Pokémon, a new region (technically the "Hoenn Confirmed!" meme is wrong - Hoenn has not been confirmed), etc., then fans may choose to reclassify it as Generation VII. If that's the case, we can edit the article at the time to reflect the shift in the fans's views. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 03:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I was not questioning if there is any probability of it coming out as Generation VII. I was questioning, even if it is very probable to be Generation VI, the validity is that it is deduced or speculated, even based on many objective observations. But none of the quoted are as valid as an official release. If "Generation" is The Pokemon Company's official terms, we cannot say something is or is not without the company first says so. If, instead, "Generation" is what the fandom creates, "official" means the stance de facto in the fandom, hence, verifiable and objective criteria and definitions. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 05:30, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
:We don't need them to flat out state they are part of Generation VI.

Yet, Bulbanews, the forums and the Archives have already decided that it's real. Although the forums are about speculation and accepted it first, maybe they don't count. But since the News published my article and the Archives restored Coro Coro images, I'm believing they are believing the scan.

== E3 2014 Announcement ==

So a new trailer for ORAS was released yesterday as part of E3 2014. It showed a lot more content, confirmed the CoroCoro leak, and displayed several bits of gameplay, including apparent Mega Evolutions for Groudon & Kyogre, in which their markings glow prominently to match their boxart artwork. I feel that this information should be added to the article, since the trailer seen was official, and therefore verifiable information from a reliable source. Since I am not permitted to edit the ''OmegaRuby & AlphaSapphire'' article, I ask that someone with access to editing add this information in.

== Release date for Australia ==

I really don't see any official source in which states it's release date for Australia. The Nintendo Australia website does not have the game listed anywhere, so we don't even know what the actual release date for Australia really is. EB Games isn't a reliable source when it comes to release dates, 'cause they often will get the release dates from sites like Wikipedia or even from here.

Until Nintendo Australia confirms it's release date, I really do think we should change the release date for Australia to '''November 2014'''.[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 18:41, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

I have a few things to add now

-These are the second pairs of games to not have "version" at the end.

-These are the second remakes after the Game Corner controversy

-These are the first remakes after the Pokémon Center and Pokémart being merged

I could think of a few more, but these will do.

== Access to the Team Magma/Aqua Hideout after beating Tate and Lisa. ==

Iirc, it's blocked off after getting the Gym Badge from Tate and Lisa in Ruby/Sapphire, but it's possible to get items from the hideout even after defeating them in ORAS, regardless of whether it's before beating the Elite Four + Champion, or during the Delta Episode. This is likely to be due to elements in the Delta Episode which require access to it, but perhaps it can be mentioned under "Changes", as well?

It wasn't very obvious to me, until I accidentally returned to the hideout just before getting the gym badge from Wallace. -- [[User:Templar|templar]][[User_talk:Templar|(stalk)]] 13:42, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

If you beat the Elite Four the first time, then complete the Delta Episode, then beat the Elite Four a second time—without ever talking to Prof Birch in the meantime (unless somewhere in that you ''have'' to?)—are you telling me you could go find Prof Birch on Route 101 and get a choice of all three regional starters all in a row?

::From what I can tell each one is triggered specifically by entering and leaving your house again. So, in my case, I got the Johto starters shortly after beating the Elite Four (because I entered and left my house again after interacting with Zinnia) but this comment only JUST reminded me that I could get a Sinnoh starter even though I beat the Delta Episode days ago (because I hadn't reentered my house after leaving—I suppose I won't do so until this question has a definitive answer). I'm assuming that if you did as you suggest, then Professor Birch would give you one starter each time you re-entered and exited your house. But given the differing cutscenes for each gift, I seriously doubt you'd get all three in one go. —[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 22:32, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

== Several "changes from the original game" that should go on the main article ==

The [[Ninja Boy (Trainer class)|Ninja Boys]] that hide behind cardboard trees are now optional. Also, two new trainer classes the [[Scuba Diver (Trainer class)| Scuba Diver]] and the [[Free Diver (Trainer class)| Free Diver]] were introduced to allow optional trainer battles to occur while underwater.

Since the problems with [[Double Battle]] exclusive classes had been fixed since the fourth gen, they now have vision ranges of more than one square, meaning, for example, the battle against the first twins of the game Gina and Mia are unavoidable even though the bridges are now three tiles high.

The National Dex is now obtainable after you've just finished beaten Groudon or Kyogre. Thus, the trainers within the [[Victory Road (Hoenn)| Hoenn Victory Road]] had their teams modified to include Pokémon not native to Hoenn. Also, when you obtain the National Dex, it's possible to find Pokémon not within the Hoenn dex on most routes using the DexNav.

Also, Wally and the Elite Four aren't the only trainers to include a Pokémon retroactively added to the Hoenn dex - [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Pokémon Breeder]] Lydia of [[Hoenn Route 117|Route 117]]'s Rosalina had been retroactively turned into a Budew. In addition, [[Gabby and Ty]] will eventually evolve their Magnemite into a Magnezone when you rematch them enough times.

Lastly, all the overworld Pikachu had been turned into other Pokémon species for the remake. The only way to see one in-game is to either trade for them, win your first contest (in order to get Cosplay Pikachu), encounter a wild Pikachu in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] or encounter the very few trainers who use Pikachu on their teams.

Incidentally, Sky Battles as known from {{gameabbrev3|XY}} does ''not'' appear in these games. It's possible to encounter wild Pokémon in the sky using the Eon Flute, yes, but the battle's treated like a standard battle instead of a Sky Battle and thus, there's no limits on what Pokémon you can bring and what moves you can use.

[[File:Mr Briney anime.png|thumb|230px|Mr. Briney in the anime]]
===Character===
Even though Mr. Briney retired from being a sailor, he was shown to still have the skills as one as he told {{an|May}} his stories about it. He was very caring towards [[Peeko]] as she was usually there with him.

===History===
Mr. Briney appeared in two episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]].

He first appeared in ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'' fishing off the pier. {{an|May}} spotted him doing so and asked him for a way to get to [[Dewford Town]] since {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were lost. [[Peeko]] flies down to him and Mr. Briney revealed to her that the only person Peeko likes is him. This changed when May brought out Pokémon food. Mr. Briney explained to May about his time as a sailor, only for May to not understand it. Later, Mr. Briney arrived at his house and got confronted by a member of [[Team Aqua]], the same one responsible for stealing from the [[Devon Corporation]] the [[AG017|episode before]]. The grunt captured Peeko in a cage and wanted the boat that Mr. Briney owned. With no other choice, the two of them were about to go on board but the group's interference prevented them from doing so. Despite the group's arrival, the grunt still got on board with Peeko. Luckily, Mr. Briney still had another boat and used it to get his Wingull back. Mr. Brunet was able to retrieve Peeko and as a way of thanking the group, Mr. Briney gave them a ride to [[Dewford Town]] on his boat.

In ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'', Mr. Briney was still taking the group to Dewford Town. On the way, they take a break on an unnamed island that isn't on any map. While there, a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} arrived. Mr. Briney rescued May and [[Max]] from them with the help of Peeko. The group were able to bypass them and got on the island. The leader Sharpedo arrived when Ash got its attention and Mr. Briney trapped it in a wooden fence. Sharpedo became sick and {{an|Brock}} helped {{p|Sharpedo}} recover. At the end of the episode, Mr. Briney and the group left the island and arrived in Dewford Town. He dropped them off there and waved his farewells to them.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentions that he is heading to [[Johto]] to compete in the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} Fishing Rally that is being hosted by Mr. Briney.

[[File:Mr Briney Adventures.png|thumb|Mr. Briney in Pokémon Adventures]]
Mr. Briney made his first appearance in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, where he found {{adv|Ruby}} unconscious at sea with the help of his {{p|Wingull}}, [[Peeko]]. He rescued Ruby using a net. After Ruby woke up, Mr. Briney explained to Ruby that they are in the middle of sea in {{rt|106|hoenn}}. He sought out his goal to capture a {{p|Relicanth}} as it could help him explore the deeper parts of the ocean. Mr. Briney showed Ruby his Pokémon collection and {{p|Milotic|an extremely beautiful Pokémon}} to convince him that not all fish are ugly.

While fishing, he catches three {{p|Wailmer}} and keeps them despite the fact that they weren't the mystery fish he was looking for. Mr. Briney goes fishing again and hooks a {{p|Crawdaunt}}. He attacked the boat with {{m|Hyper Beam}} while Mr. Briney struggled to get back on the boat. After Ruby pulled him back on the boat, he found out that Mr. Briney was unconscious and had to defeat the Crawdaunt on his own. Mr. Briney woke up and found out that Ruby bandaged his Peeko and put makeup on her while Crawdaunt became infatuated by [[Kiki]]'s {{a|Cute Charm}}. Mr. Briney arrived at [[Dewford Town]] with Ruby and dropped him off there while getting introduced to {{adv|Sapphire}}.

Sometime after Ruby and Sapphire were able to put an end to Team Magma and Team Aqua's plans, Mr. Briney boards the [[S.S. Tidal]]. During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, he became the captain of the ship. He contacted an old friend of [[Two Island]], [[Ultima]], about {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]].

Later, in the {{chap|Emerald}}, he and his subordinates carried {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} when they were statues to the Battle Tower.

[[File:Mr Briney PMRS.png|thumb|Mr. Briney in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]
Mr. Briney appears in ''[[PMRS10|We've Found Team Magma's Secret!!]]'' of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga.

In that chapter, he dressed up his {{p|Wingull}}, Peeko, before {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} came by. During Red's visit, he asked Mr. Briney about the apparently stuffed bird and Mr. Briney revealed it to him as Peeko. Mr. Briney told them that he takes Peeko everywhere he goes, including the rooms in his house. Later, Mr. Briney informed the group that Peeko had a crush on someone, later revealed to be {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}. In time, [[Team Magma]] came by and demand Mr. Briney's Peeko. Peeko refused to go with them and attached herself to Clefairy. Peeko's attachment to Clefairy made Mr. Briney sad. When Peeko went racing around with Clefairy, Mr. Briney went after her and tried to protect her from Team Magma. A can fell off of a balloon Clefairy rode on and Mr. Briney read a letter that was attached to the can, learning that Peeko liked Mr. Briney more than Clefairy and wanted to stay with him. Mr. Briney was quite amused.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a {{p|Poliwrath}} in ''[[PS011|Buzz off, Electabuzz!]]''

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"[[Pokémon battle|Fighter]]"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Red RGB chapter Adventures.png|left|thumb|100px|Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|Solar Beam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{Badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty defeats Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the {{Badge|Boulder}} and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon hearing some [[Team Rocket]] grunts mentioning her, Red infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

[[File:Red Adventures Running.png|thumb|290px|Red with his team from the first volume's cover]]
Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with {{adv|Bill}}'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vee|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a Gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[Fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vee]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{Badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{Badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{Badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating [[Thu-Fi-Zer|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

Red then journeys back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.

[[File:Red Frozen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets {{adv|Giovanni}} again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to [[Indigo Plateau]].

With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.

At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Red first appears in the ''Gold, Silver & Crystal'' chapters in ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandray]]'' when {{adv|Gold}} sees him in a photo at the {{pkmn|Day Care}} Center showing him as one of the previous winners of the Pokémon League.

Red is offered the newly-open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way, they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other Pokédex holders then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Red FRLG Chapter Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Red in the fifth chapter]]
From this chapter onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop Ferries|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{adv|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, the [[The Three Beasts]], as well as Deoxys, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, {{adv|Professor Oak}} has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

Red undergoes special training under [[Ultima]] on [[Boon Island]], where his [[Saur|Venusaur]] learns the legendary {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

[[File:Red E Chapter Adventures.png|thumb||145px|left|Red in the sixth chapter]]
{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket helicopter hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of The Three Beasts, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the helicopter. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the chapter, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the Battle Dome tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===
Sird reveals that the dark beam that was intended for Red, Blue, Silver, Green, and Yellow was Darkai. However the clash between Mewtwo and Darkai made the Pokedex holders turn to stone.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.

==Pokémon==
In the Japanese version, Red nicknames his Pokémon by taking two syllables of their species name and cutting out the rest. In the English translations, the English species names are used instead.

==Badges obtained==
===Indigo League===
Red only has seven of the eight Kanto Gym Badges. Although he defeated {{adv|Giovanni}} at [[Viridian Gym]], he has not obtained the {{Badge|Earth}}.

The Badges Red has obtained were not won in the traditional order. He earned them as follows:

* {{Badge|Boulder}} in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]''
* {{Badge|Cascade}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''
* {{Badge|Rainbow}} in ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''
* {{Badge|Volcano}} in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]''

* {{Badge|Soul}} in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''
* {{Badge|Marsh}} in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''

==Trivia==
* Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in [[VIZ Media]]'s original translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the exception of [[Pika]]. Their English nicknames were first officially used in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' chapter.
** However, VIZ has recently begun to use nicknames for Red's other Pokémon beginning in {{PAV|9}}.
* Red has the same birth month and blood type as his main nemesis, {{adv|Giovanni}}.
* Red's birthday is the same day as when the first volume of Pokémon Adventures came out.

I received a Ho-oh from the GTS, and it appears to be holding sacred ash. It's possible for it to be available in ORAS. --[[User:HoennLove200|HoennLove200]] ([[User talk:HoennLove200|talk]]) 16:22, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
* Not necessarily- someone could have hacked to get it. Nintendo's hack checks are spotty enough that I wouldn't be surprised if they'd let an unobtainable item go through the GTS. You might get the item normally by encountering Ho-oh, but I have AS so I can't check. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] ([[User talk:Yamiidenryuu|talk]]) 23:15, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Pokémon doll

2015-01-03T00:22:10Z

HoennLove200: /* Intro */ The page is missing the Generation VI section, so I added the Incomplete thing.

:''This article is about game decoration. For the escape item, see {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll|Poké Doll}}. For the plush toy line, see [[Poké Doll (plush)]]. For the [[Pokéstar Studios]] opponent, see {{DL|Pokéstar Studios opponents|Doll}}.
''
{{incomplete|article|needs=Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}
A '''Pokémon doll''' is a sort of [[decoration]] used in the Pokémon games.

==[[Generation I]]==
In the first Generation games, decorations were not featured. Despite this, Pokémon dolls could be found decorating the {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s room in [[Saffron City]]. When talked to, the doll would turn to the {{player}} and this message would appear: "This is a rare <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>! Huh? It's only a doll!"

==[[Generation II]]==
In the second Generation games, dolls became available as a decoration for the bedroom. In these games, sometimes the player character's mother will buy dolls for his or her room with saved up money, but the most common way to receive them is with [[Mystery Gift]].

One feature of {{g|Stadium 2}} allows players to view their entire room and its decorations, including any dolls, in 3-D.

==[[Generation III]]==
In the third Generation games, dolls can be used to decorate a [[Secret Base]], and can be either bought in various locations, such as at the marketplace in [[Slateport City]], at the [[Lilycove Department Store]], with coins at the [[Mauville Game Corner]] or with Battle Points at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. [[Lanette]] will also give one in exchange for keeping her messy house a secret. A girl in [[Sootopolis City]] will also give the player one. All dolls must be placed on a [[desk]], a [[mat]], or a certain kind of [[ornament]].

Dolls are not available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, particularly because there are no Secret Bases in FireRed and LeafGreen. However, [[Lorelei]]'s house contains a number of dolls, since she collects them.

====Regi dolls====
The three [[legendary golems]] also have dolls. Players with a Japanese copy of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can obtain these dolls by scanning a special [[e-Reader]] card called the "Regi-Dolls Decoration Set" card, or through participating official Nintendo events. However, for games in other languages, there is no known way to obtain them except by cheating.

==[[Generation IV]]==
Dolls, like many other decorations in this generation, are available by trading [[sphere]]s to {{tc|Hiker}}s in [[the Underground]]. They are used to decorate the player's Secret Base in the underground. They can also be purchased in the fourth floor of the [[Veilstone Department Store]].

Instead of placing them on desks or mats, dolls, like many other decorations, cannot be placed on top of any other objects.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, the player is able to receive '''Figures''' which are placed outside the [[Team Base]]. They are obtained as rewards when certain conditions are met. The Lucario Figure is obtained upon attaining [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)#Rescue Ranks|Lucario Rank]]; the Bonsly Figure is obtained by completing all of the [[Makuhita Dojo]] mazes; the Mime Jr. and Weavile Figures are obtained as rewards for random missions, shown as either "Mime Jr. Fig" or "Weavile Fig". All of the statues were depictions of [[Generation IV]] Pokémon that had not yet made an appearance in the [[core series]] games at the time of [[Generation III]].
