'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Islands]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., they battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.

[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Misty never physically appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during {{aniseries|SM}}, starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty nearly defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a two-on-one battle, but stopped the match before the final blow could be delivered. She then battled against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} with her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and lost. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Move]]s, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to a diner. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}} who was working there, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', alongside all of Ash's traveling companions at the time.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]]. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until {{aniseries|SM}}.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During {{aniseries|RS}}, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Misty fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[JN141|A Squad’s Worth of Passion!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.
{{-}}

===Pokémon===
[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

===Main outfits===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|120px|Misty's main outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up by red suspenders. Most of her midriff is exposed. She wears red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and carries a red drawstring backpack.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically how she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In {{aniseries|SM}}, Misty holds a [[Key Stone]] on her hairband. She occasionally takes her hair down, but only when she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears her hair down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]''. She returned to wearing this outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

====''Ruby and Sapphire''====

She wears short pale and burnt orange ankle boots with it. Misty changed bags three times while wearing this outfit. She had her red drawstring bag from her original outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', a {{p|Spheal}}-shaped backpack from ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and a pink purse in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in {{aniseries|PTS}} where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record for having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary line, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Islands]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., they battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.

[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Misty never physically appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during {{aniseries|SM}}, starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty nearly defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a two-on-one battle, but stopped the match before the final blow could be delivered. She then battled against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} with her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and lost. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Move]]s, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', alongside all of Ash's traveling companions at the time.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]]. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until {{aniseries|SM}}.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During {{aniseries|RS}}, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Misty fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[JN141|A Squad’s Worth of Passion!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.

[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

===Main outfits===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|120px|Misty's main outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up by red suspenders. Most of her midriff is exposed. She wears red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and carries a red drawstring backpack.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically how she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In {{aniseries|SM}}, Misty holds a [[Key Stone]] on her hairband. She occasionally takes her hair down, but only when she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears her hair down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]''. She returned to wearing this outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

====''Ruby and Sapphire''====

She wears short pale and burnt orange ankle boots with it. Misty changed bags three times while wearing this outfit. She had her red drawstring bag from her original outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', a {{p|Spheal}}-shaped backpack from ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and a pink purse in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in {{aniseries|PTS}} where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record for having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary line, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty:
** Is the first to return in more than one series.
*** Furthermore, Misty is the only one that has done so to have changed from ''and'' back to her [[#Main outfits|original outfit]], as she returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.
** Is the only one who has had new Pokémon added to her party, those being {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of [[Pokémon animation]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in {{aniseries|DP}}, but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', however, Misty returned as a long-term traveling companion of Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.
* In the licensed Brazilian music video "[[The Strength of the Master]]", a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.

==Trivia==
* On retail websites, the first edition of the second North American boxset image shows [[Jessie's Arbok]] right next to her. However, on all actual boxsets it is Ekans that appears.
* On retail websites, Volume 1 of the second edition releases uses a different cover that labelled it as "Season 1" rather than "Volume 1".

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is an aspiring [[Type expert|Water Pokémon Master]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. She is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Cerulean Gym]], handing out the {{Badge|Cascade}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Misty journeyed with Ash through [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]], sharpening her skills as a Water-type Trainer along the way. Eventually, she decided to return home to preside over her family's Gym. After watching Ash in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], she was inspired to go on another journey and left the Gym under her sisters' care. During her travels, she reunited and resumed traveling with Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' until she decided to return home.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Baby Misty.png|thumb|220px|Baby Misty]]
Not much is known about Misty's early childhood other than that she grew up in [[Cerulean City]] in the [[Kanto]] region with her [[Sensational Sisters|three sisters]]. When she was very young, an encounter with a {{p|Gyarados}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] led to her being frightened of them. In ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', it was revealed that Misty used to play the tambourine as a toddler. Misty often received hand-me-down toys and clothes from her older sisters, who seemed to have been favored in their family, as seen during flashbacks in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''. Eventually, Misty became one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of the Cerulean Gym alongside her sisters. Bullying and exclusion by her sisters led Misty to leave home and effectively leave her sisters as the Gym Leaders before ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', choosing to prove herself as a {{type|Water}} [[Pokémon Master]].

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Misty Burnt Bike.png|thumb|220px|left|Misty carrying her burnt bike]]
Misty debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', [[fishing]] in a nearby river on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. As her fishing rod snagged something, she managed to pull out not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but {{Ash}} and his injured {{AP|Pikachu}}, who were being chased by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. After pointing Ash in the direction of the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], the one in [[Viridian City]], he borrowed her [[bicycle]], saying that he would return it someday.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Misty appeared in the Pokémon Center after Ash dropped off his Pikachu, holding her charred bike and demanding a new one right away. She continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Consequently, Misty traveled around the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the [[Orange Islands]], and the [[Johto]] region with Ash. Earlier in the series, she mentioned getting her bicycle replaced several times. By the end of the [[Indigo League]], however, Misty seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along with Ash was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends. While traveling with Ash, Misty often acted as his coach in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Ash and Misty were later joined by {{an|Brock}}, from ''Showdown in Pewter City'' to ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again from the end of ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'' to the end of the original series, and {{Tracey}} from ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' to ''The Rivalry Revival''. When she and Brock were both traveling with Ash, Misty would pull Brock away by his ear when he approached a beautiful woman. This began in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', and became far more frequent while they were in Johto.

[[File:Misty Daisy Violet Lily.png|thumb|220px|Misty with Daisy, Violet, and Lily]]
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Misty challenged Ash to a [[Gym]] battle after her sisters at the Cerulean Gym nearly gave Ash a {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle and to prove she was as good a Pokémon Trainer as her sisters. Ash and Misty each defeated one Pokémon, but {{TRT}} interrupted the match when they tried to steal the Gym's Water Pokémon. Misty's sisters awarded Ash a Badge when Pikachu saved the Gym with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}, over Misty's objections.

In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', while waiting for the next ferry to the mainland, Misty saw a large group of {{p|Tentacool}} and a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Tentacruel}} attacking [[Porta Vista]] after human activity destroyed their homes. She convinced the Tentacool and Tentacruel to stop attacking the port, and the humans would no longer occupy Tentacool and Tentacruel's homes in the reef and caught a {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} as well.

Misty became the first main character to look after a [[baby Pokémon]] in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when the egg that Ash had found in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' hatches into a {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. It imprinted on Misty as its mother when she became the first thing it saw, even after Ash won a tournament to decide who got to keep it. Misty would carry Togepi around without a Poké Ball for the rest of the series.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Misty was given a chance to stay in the [[Orange Islands]] when [[Rudy]], the Gym Leader on [[Trovita Island]], offered to let her stay with him. Misty considered the offer, but she ultimately chose to keep traveling with Ash and supported him in his battle against Rudy.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty competed in the annual [[Seaking Catching Competition]]. After Misty and [[Andreas]] both caught {{p|Seaking}} that weighed 55 kg., they battled each other to break the tie. Misty won the competition after her {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} defeated Andreas' {{p|Poliwrath}}.

[[File:Misty and Trinity.png|220px|thumb|left|Misty and Trinity]]
Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. She defeated Ash in the second round and made it to the best eight of the competition before she lost to [[Trinity]].

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty met a Water-type Trainer named [[Dorian]], after discovering that he is a fan of her sisters, Misty challenged him to a battle. After defeating Team Rocket and ending her battle with Dorian in a draw, Dorian was impressed with Misty's battle skills.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Misty returned to the Viridian City Pokémon Center and learned that her bicycle was repaired by the city's [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash — especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and {{an|Violet}}, called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if it was left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend a significant amount of time at the Gym. While working in the Gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|220px|Misty in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
Misty was first mentioned by Ash in ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]''.

She reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where she met up with Ash and Brock again in [[Hoenn]], along with meeting {{an|May}} and [[Max]] for the first time. In ''A Togepi Mirage'', her {{P|Togepi}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and helped defend the [[Togepi Paradise]]. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decided to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty.

She watched Ash compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' and ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. She traveled with Ash from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and was later invited to the [[Mirage Mansion]] by [[Dr. Yung]] in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''. She later appeared in flashbacks in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four]]''.

It was revealed in ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' that Misty feared {{p|Gyarados}}, having climbed into one's mouth as a baby, and that she doubted her own ability to run Cerulean Gym alone. It wasn't until she selflessly protected her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} from a {{m|Poison Sting}} assault that she was not only able to conquer her fears but regain the confidence to run the Gym with a now-obedient Gyarados.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Misty never physically appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, but she was referenced a couple of times. [[Misty's special lure|Her special lure]] appeared in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]'', and she appeared in a picture on {{an|Brock}}'s memory wall in the special episode [[DPS02]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Misty appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' as Ash recalled the important moments of his and {{AP|Charizard}}'s friendship. She was mentioned and reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Misty showcasing her Key Stone.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and her Key Stone]]
Misty made recurring appearances during {{aniseries|SM}}, starting with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Misty and Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, then compared Kantonian and {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]]. Later, Misty and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Misty was angry to find were still stealing Pokémon. Afterward, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Misty and Brock assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Misty nearly defeated {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} in a two-on-one battle, but stopped the match before the final blow could be delivered. She then battled against Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} with her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and lost. She and Brock bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit Alola sometime in the future.
[[File:Lana and Misty.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Lana]]
During the time that passed after the visit to Alola, Misty and Lana became close friends, exchanging messages with each other.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Misty and Brock visited Ash and his classmates in [[Alola]] after Lana invited them. She also explained that her sisters took charge, and implied that the Cerulean Gym was facing enough challengers that she simply needed a break. Whilst Brock remained at the Pokémon Center, Misty accompanied Ash and the others to [[Treasure Island]], where they enjoyed [[Mantine Surf]]ing and playing with the Pokémon before the villainous obstacle Team Rocket trio attempted to steal the {{p|Mantine}}. However, with the help of Gyarados and several [[Z-Move]]s, she and the others managed to blast Team Rocket off, foiling their every plan.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty accompanied Ash, his classmates, and Brock to [[Akala Island]] where they visited [[Paniola Ranch]] and later met [[island kahuna]] [[Olivia]]. At the end of the episode, Brock and Misty left Alola to return to Kanto, although not before expressing interest in visiting Alola again.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', Misty's silhouette was alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the narrator explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].
[[File:Misty and Goh.png|left|thumb|250px|Misty meeting [[Goh]] and his Inteleon]]
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Misty appeared watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}} alongside Psyduck and Gyarados at the Cerulean Gym. During the battle's climax, Misty is shown to be anxious as Pikachu reaches his limit.

In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Misty is seen meeting [[Goh]] and interacting with his {{TP|Goh|Inteleon}} at the Cerulean Gym.
[[File:Misty JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Misty reunited with Ash, stopping him from trying to catch a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} that she had been trying to catch. After trying to catch Clauncher through fishing, Misty and Ash had a battle to decide who would catch Clauncher. Misty used her Politoed to battle against {{AP|Corphish}} and after a tough battle, Politoed emerged victorious, allowing Misty to add Clauncher to her team. Afterward, Misty decided to rejoin Ash on his journey. She also explained that she decided to go on a new journey, and left the gym under the care of her sisters.
[[File:Misty catching Clauncher.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty after catching a Pokémon]]
In ''[[JN139|Must Be Our Heroes and the Witch!]]'', Misty and Ash traveled to [[Galar]]. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}}, they were helped by {{an|Cilan}} to save Brock from the mind control of a wild {{p|Hatterene}}. After everything was resolved, Brock joined the group and they said goodbye to Cilan who went back to travel alone.

In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', Misty joined Ash to rescue a {{p|Wailmer}} that was trapped in a mountain. During the rescue, the Pokémon evolved into a {{p|Wailord}}, which made everything more difficult. With Ash's Pokémon, Misty, and Brock, and their respective Trainers working together, they were able to rescue the huge Pokémon.

In ''[[JN144|Getting to the Heart of it All!]]'', Misty joined Ash to give {{p|Banette}} a new heart-shaped hair tie. Ash decided that Misty should give her heart-shaped hair tie to Banette, and she agreed. After a long search for Banette, Ash gave Misty's heart-shaped hair tie to {{p|Banette}}. However, Ash and his friends decided that he and his friends should look for its owner. They scattered around with no hope, leading them to become tired and decide to continue the search the next day. But when Brock realized that Banette's owner was Nurse Joy, they organized a reunion that finally happened.

In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Misty attempted to aid [[James's Mime Jr.]], who seemingly defected from its Trainer, in locating [[Officer Jenny]] to refer their latest plot. She held off [[James's Yamask]] and [[Jessie's Frillish]] with her Staryu and Psyduck to allow Ash, Pikachu, and Mime Jr. to continue onward. Soon afterward, however, she and the others deduced something was off and then discovered Mime Jr.'s defection was faked as part of a trap against Pikachu. She eventually witnessed {{an|Latias}}' appearance, recognizing it from what Ash relayed to her and Brock about his earlier encounter with her. She also witnessed her psychic vision of her friend {{p|Latios}} escaping confinement.

In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Misty separated from Ash and Brock to return to Cerulean City.

====Other appearances====
Misty made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', alongside all of Ash's traveling companions at the time.

Misty reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', where she had largely the same role as in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

===Character===
[[File:The gang.png|thumb|220px|Misty and her friends]]
Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for her vocal frustrations and seething anger. Misty also tended to get very angry whenever {{Ash}} got their party lost, especially in forests. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and she abruptly switches between her emotions. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyperactive personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[original series]]. In the Japanese version, she uses the pronoun Atashi in reference to herself.

She is also picky, sensitive, nosy, and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

She is shown to have a somewhat vain side to her, often referring to herself as an "internationally known beauty" ('''世界の美少女''' ''the world's most beautiful girl'') in introductions to others. It is implied that this trait was a result of her inferiority complex towards her older sisters. However, this trait was mostly excluded from the [[dub]] until {{aniseries|SM}}.

[[File:Misty and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her love for Water-type Pokémon]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola.
[[File:Misty Cascade Badge.png|thumb|250px|Misty holding a Cascade Badge]]
Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During {{aniseries|RS}}, Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle.
[[File:Misty fear of bugs.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty showing her fear of Bug Pokémon]]
The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type|Bug}}s, as shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' and more recently in ''[[JN141|A Squad’s Worth of Passion!]]''. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrot}}s and {{wp|Bell pepper|peppers}}. When asked how she feels about dual-typed Bug/Water Pokémon, such as {{p|Dewpider}}, Misty replied "that's a tough one".

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''.

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch.
{{-}}

===Pokémon===
[[File:Misty party JN.png|thumb|250px|Misty and some of her Pokémon in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Either through the tradition of her family's Gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train {{type|Water}} Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences.

Her love of Water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming a Gym Leader, she has overcome her fear of {{p|Gyarados}} and continues to learn more about caring and battling with Water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

As an experienced Water-type Pokémon Trainer, Misty has access to many powerful Pokémon and mechanics such as [[Mega Evolution]]. This allows her to be able to battle other powerful Trainers like [[Dorian]], [[Trinity]], or Ash in equal conditions.

===Main outfits===
[[File:Misty SM.png|thumb|120px|Misty's main outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up by red suspenders. Most of her midriff is exposed. She wears red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and carries a red drawstring backpack.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically how she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. In {{aniseries|SM}}, Misty holds a [[Key Stone]] on her hairband. She occasionally takes her hair down, but only when she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears her hair down with pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]''. She returned to wearing this outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.

====''Ruby and Sapphire''====

She wears short pale and burnt orange ankle boots with it. Misty changed bags three times while wearing this outfit. She had her red drawstring bag from her original outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', a {{p|Spheal}}-shaped backpack from ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', and a pink purse in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Misty EToP.png|thumb|200px|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. She first appears in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}} and tells {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{Badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

==Trivia==
* Misty was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in {{aniseries|PTS}} where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's [[bicycle]] or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Misty is the only main character with a game counterpart to not have any of her main outfits influenced by those worn by [[Misty|her game counterpart]].
* Out of all of [[Ash's friends]], Misty:
** Holds the record for having the most Pokémon [[Party|on hand]] at the time of her debut and the largest number of Pokémon with unexplained origins, with three each.
** Is the first one to have challenged a [[Gym]], albeit an unofficial one, as shown in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
** Is the first one to have released a non-temporary Pokémon permanently.
* Out of all of Ash's female friends, Misty:
** Has appeared in the most amount of episodes, at 296.
** Has owned the most Pokémon, at 12.
** Is the first one to have had a full team of six Pokémon on hand, having done so thrice.
** Is the only one to own more than one Pokémon of a given evolutionary line, those being {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only Misty's Japanese name ('''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'', meaning {{wp|baby's breath}}) references the floral theme behind the name of her older sisters: {{an|Daisy}}, {{an|Violet}}, and {{ka|Lily}}. In all other languages, her name references water.
* Out of all of Ash's friends who temporarily returned after departing with Ash, Misty:
** Is the first to return in more than one series.
*** Furthermore, Misty is the only one that has done so to have changed from ''and'' back to her [[#Main outfits|original outfit]], as she returned to wearing her [[original series]] outfit in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', after changing into a different outfit from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' onward.
** Is the only one who has had new Pokémon added to her party, those being {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]], and then switched to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned their children and the Cerulean Gym due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old. She also went to school at a girls-only school, with the closest she had to any significant encounter with someone of the opposite sex before meeting Ash was during the third grade where she lured a boy behind the gymnasium to tell him off for picking on one of her friends and beating him up.
* Former director and storyboard artist of [[Pokémon animation]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in {{aniseries|DP}}, but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing," it would be for something else like a battle.
** In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', however, Misty returned as a long-term traveling companion of Ash in ''[[S25|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.
* In the licensed Brazilian music video "[[The Strength of the Master]]", a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.

'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the eighth and final series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on all of the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows {{aniseries|SM}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|HZ}}. It premiered between November 17, 2019 and March 24, 2023 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and between June 12, 2020 and September 8, 2023 in {{pmin|the United States}}. In South Korea, the series was released as '''''Pocket Monsters W''''' (Korean: '''포켓몬스터W''' ''Pocket Monsters W'').

Similar to how {{aniseries|DP}} featured [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{an|Dawn}} as dual protagonists, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' introduces [[Goh]] as a protagonist alongside Ash. Additionally, much like how ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' established a home base for Ash on [[Melemele Island]], this series establishes the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]] as Ash and Goh's main base of operations, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}—specifically, all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], a competition used to decide the world's strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{an|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and aims to complete his [[Pokédex]] while participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also prominently features a young girl named [[Chloe]] and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who appoints Ash and Goh as research fellows for the Cerise Laboratory.

As with the previous three series, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in {{aniseries|XY}}. About halfway through the series, many of the Pokémon's colors have been changed to match the colorization in their models in {{g|HOME}}.

''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' features the return of many characters that have appeared over the course of ''Pokémon the Series'', from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and Dawn, for example) to recurring characters (like {{Gary}}, {{an|Korrina}}, and [[Paul]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' concludes several storylines created over the years within ''Pokémon the Series'', such as the search for [[Mohn]], [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's desire to challenge {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' is the first series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main story. This is also the first series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'', released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode epilogue miniseries focused on Ash and Pikachu called ''[[To Be a Pokémon Master|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref> In the dub, this miniseries was combined with the special episode ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]'' to form the final batch of ''[[S25|Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series]]''. In this miniseries, Ash reunites with his old friends Brock and {{an|Misty}} on a tour to see the world while making new friends and reuniting with old ones.

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes|list of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum has a new plan: see the world! But first, he and his partner Pikachu are headed to the opening of the Cerise Laboratory, a research facility dedicated to uncovering the mysteries of Pokémon in every region. Ash meets Goh, another boy with boundless curiosity about Pokémon, and both are overjoyed when Professor Cerise asks them to become official research fellows. With Ash as determined as ever to become a Pokémon Master, and Goh aiming to catch one of every Pokémon (including the Mythical Mew), our heroes are in for adventure and excitement as they explore the wide world of Pokémon!

==Arcs and seasons==
''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release. When ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was divided into three seasons.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retains its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:

**** Where Ash travels with traveling companions from previous series outside of temporary instances.
**** Where {{TRT}} uses Pokémon they had caught in previous series aside from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
**** To feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
**** To feature more than three [[List of English opening themes|English opening themes]].
*** {{aniseries|BW}}
**** Where Pokémon have rejoined Ash's regular rotation after leaving it in a prior series.
**** In which the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
***** However, this message was removed in the English dub.
**** To feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[first partner Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the current generation in the animated series concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a [[One, Two, Three|Japanese opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the current generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was fully evolved, a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], and not introduced in the current generation.
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].

==Blurb==

Meowth is in charge of the Team Rocket secret base, a mysterious place full of odd gadgets and gizmos. Desperate to impress the boss, Meowth wants to use the Dancing PokéBaton—a device that lets users control Pokémon as they please—to create a show that’s sure to wow. Meanwhile, Pikachu and its friends finish up playing in the forest and stumble on the base. The gang hears Whismur, the Whisper Pokémon, crying for help—but when they try to make their rescue, the Dancing PokéBaton goes off and sends the whole group into a dancing frenzy! When a noise-loving Loudred and Ludicolo get caught up in the dancing, the madness gets even wilder! What’s going to happen to Meowth’s precious secret base?

==Plot==
{{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} climbs along a branch and calls for {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} to join it. Mudkip jumps over Lotad, sending Lotad tumbling towards the ground – but it is caught in a low branch on the way down. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Torchic}} hear the commotion and run to help Mudkip. {{AP|Treecko}}'s relaxation on a short branch comes to an end when he looks down to see what all the ruckus is, but in doing so he too slips and falls. Pikachu, Mudkip, and Torchic see Treecko falling and jump to catch it – freeing Lotad in the process. Suddenly, the branch springs back, sending Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic, and Pikachu flying. Lotad frantically rushes about trying to catch the others, but misses: Treecko is the first to land, followed by Pikachu and Torchic who end up in a tangled heap, and then Mudkip who lands face first. To make matters worse, the ground suddenly gives way, sending them all tumbling down the cliff and into a rock. When the group comes to, Lotad spots a large building in the distance painted to look like dice with a giant red R on it: a {{TRT}} base in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].

Inside their newly built headquarters, the [[Team Rocket trio]] have prepared a lavish event for their boss, {{an|Giovanni}}'s impending arrival. All three of them hope they’ll get a promotion out of it. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plan to greet the boss and leave {{MTR}} in charge of everything.

Meowth is responsible for the entertainment and calls for a rehearsal of the routine. At this, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and three anxious {{p|Whismur}} with maracas appear all gathered on a stage. The Whismur shake their maracas a little to appease Meowth, who smiles and does a little twirl, revealing a strange blue baton with a red and blue [[Poké Ball]] on the top, and various buttons on the bottom – his newly invented Dancing Pokébaton. With that, he presses a button at the top of the baton, causing a rousing melody, "[[Polka O Dolka]]", to come blaring into the room. The Pokémon begin dancing to the song in sync. Meowth is thrilled with his efforts and [[Boss fantasy|imagines]] Giovanni kicking out his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Meowth becoming his new favorite lap cat. Meowth laughs to himself, savoring the fantasy, but it is soon back to business and he orders the Whismur back into their cage.

Meanwhile, Pikachu, Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko approach the base, eager to find a way in. Lotad tries to follow, but lags behind the others. Pikachu and the others discover an open window leading into the base's storage area. As they look inside, Lotad desperately tries to get a look as well, sending a pebble rolling into the den of a snoozing {{p|Loudred}} who continues to sleep undisturbed.

They watch as Seviper hisses and scares the Whismur back into a cage. Meowth orders them to stay quiet while he and his crew take a break and have some lunch. Meowth and the others soon leave, with Seviper closing the door with its tail. Pikachu and the others try to get a better look, but a push from Lotad sends all five tumbling into the room. Pikachu then hears the Whismurs' cries for help and runs over. He asks them what Seviper, Cacnea, Wobbuffet, and Meowth, complete with funny face-pulling impressions of each one, are plotting. The Whismur reply that they're trapped. Pikachu notices the lock on the cage and suggests to the others to use their attacks to break it open, to which they agree. Pikachu fires a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at the lock, Torchic adds an Ember and Mudkip helps with a Water Gun attack. All three attacks break the cage open, freeing the Whismur. The loud explosion also does not disturb the sleeping Loudred. The noise is noticed, however, by Meowth who charges into the room to find the broken and empty cage. Meowth is frustrated and orders Seviper and the others to start looking for the runaway Whismur. In their rush to oblige, Seviper, Cacnea, and Wobbuffet send Meowth tumbling down the stairs and the Dancing Pokébaton goes flying out of his hands.

The baton lands on Treecko's head, triggering it and causing Polka O Dolka to come blaring into the room. Pikachu and the others, plus Meowth and his cronies begin dancing involuntarily, first nodding then performing a complete jig. Even the Loudred from earlier and a passing {{p|Ludicolo}} join in, all except Treecko. In its zeal to not dance, Treecko knocks over a barrel, closing up the baton in the process. Meowth suddenly realizes that Pikachu and the other twerps Pokémon are there. Pikachu and the others except for Lotad dive for cover, but Meowth demands the Whismur back. The Whismur retaliate by sending some barrels tumbling towards them, leading Pikachu and friends to try escaping up the stairs. Treecko follows behind with the baton device in hand.

Meowth and his cronies look around confused as to where Pikachu went, but Cacnea points out the group hanging onto the tower roof. Pikachu attempts to fire a Thunderbolt at Meowth, but Wobbuffet uses {{m|Mirror Coat}} to send it back at them, and Mudkip nearly falls. Treecko uses the baton to help and Mudkip grabs a hold of it, only to look down and notice that it's a long way down. In its panic, Mudkip triggers the Dancing Pokébaton -- Polka O Dolka begins again and everyone but Treecko dances. All the dancing causes the patio to give way -- Lotad slips and causes the baton to play a tango. Everyone partners up and tangos their way to safety right before the patio completely falls off, after which everyone resumes dancing on a catwalk until Pikachu accidentally switches the baton off.

The chase resumes as Pikachu and his friends duck into the ballroom. Mudkip climbs on a table, sending all the food and silverware atop Meowth. Torchic sends Cacnea flying into the ceiling, angering it to the point where it begins firing {{m|Pin Missile}}s in rapid succession, destroying almost the entire base in the process. In his frustration, Meowth accidentally triggers the Pokébaton and Polka O Dolka begins again, and in his panic to turn the baton off, sets it to play a hula, which everyone save Treecko does, until a party ball lands on Meowth, deactivating the baton and resuming the chase. Loudred, however, continues doing the hula as if nothing's going on.

Meowth chases everyone up into the scaffolding. During all the commotion, Cacnea trips and falls on a piece of wood, sending a bucket on top of Seviper's head. Seviper crashes into Meowth, sending them hurtling to the ground, but they get slingshotted back up by a rope, sending them flying into the air. The Pokébaton, meanwhile, falls on Wobbuffet's head, triggering it. Polka O Dolka begins again, and everyone tries to dance on the scaffolding. In his rush of joy, Wobbuffet tosses the baton in the air and it lands in a pile of sand, causing it to malfunction. The first thing it does is trigger a waltz; which finally spurs Treecko to join in the dancing. Treecko sweeps Mudkip in its arms and spins around, getting Mudkip dizzy in the process. As the baton continues to go haywire, the music gets faster and faster, until the baton finally explodes due to overload.

But the mayhem isn't over yet; irked by the spoilt fun, the Loudred grabs a pipe and proceeds to chase everyone, ultimately smashing a supporting foundation column. The whole building shakes; everyone huddles up in the teetering room in fear. Lotad then sneezes, causing the whole building to collapse and sending everyone tumbling to the ground. As they fall, Loudred lands on the piece of floor everyone is standing on splitting it in half, sending Pikachu and the others gliding through the air on their half. As they approach a cliff-side, Lotad fires a {{m|Water Gun}} to halt the impending collision. Once the group has landed safely, Pikachu leads the celebrations.

Meowth muses as he trudges back to the ruins of the storage room. He opens the door and it falls off it hinges, revealing the scope of the damage all the mayhem caused. Soon the entire base comes crashing down completely, taking Meowth and his friends with it.

* On the English [[Pokémon.com]] episode listing, the titles and summaries for ''[[HS11|A Date with Delcatty]]'' and ''[[HS13|Celebi and Joy!]]'' are swapped, listing ''Celebi and Joy!'' as episode 11 and ''A Date with Delcatty'' as episode 12.

'''Jessie's Woobat''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのコロモリ''' ''Musashi's Koromori'') is the first Pokémon that [[Jessie]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Unova]] [[region]], and her eighth overall.

==History==
==={{aniseries|BW}}===
====Unova====
[[File:Ash Pidove vs Jessie Woobat.png|250px|thumb|left|Woobat battling Pidove]]
In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', while in a cave planning their move, the [[Team Rocket trio]] saw a group of {{p|Woobat}}. Jessie caught one off-screen, as was revealed when Jessie called him out to battle {{Ash}}'s newly acquired {{AP|Pidove}}. He was able to defeat the {{pkmn|category|Tiny Pigeon Pokémon}} with a single Gust as she was already weakened during her battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}. He was then defeated by {{AP|Oshawott}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} after he had worn {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} out.

In ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', Woobat teamed up with [[James's Yamask]], Ash's Oshawott, Ash's Pikachu, and [[Cilan's Dwebble]] to defeat the {{p|Litwick}} and their {{p|Lampent}} leader.

In ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'', Woobat was used to capture a {{p|Tirtouga}} that [[Dr. Zager]] had just resurrected, however it escaped after blowing a hole in the helicopter with {{m|Ancient Power}}. In [[BW076|the next episode]], Woobat battled to capture the Prototurtle Pokémon alongside Yamask, until Tirtouga evolved into {{p|Carracosta}} and fled the scene. Woobat later battled {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Cilan's Pansage]] as they tied to rescue the captured Carracosta before the time gate at [[Twist Mountain]].
[[File:Jessie Woobat James Yamask ambush.png|250px|thumb|Woobat and Yamask ambushing Ash in order to steal Meloetta]]
Sometime before ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', Team Rocket began tracking {{an|Meloetta}} for their latest plan, Operation Tempest. Woobat [[BW085|later]] teamed up with Yamask to expose the Melody Pokémon. {{MTR}} tried to catch it in an electric net but Meloetta escaped through its invisibility. In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Woobat and Yamask confronted Ash and his friends so that Team Rocket could steal Meloetta. He battled against [[Iris's Axew]] and Cilan's Pansage while {{an|Giovanni}} pursued Ash and Meloetta. Then in the [[BW097|next episode]], Woobat and Yamask used their combined attacks to launch Ash off the top of the ancient temple to prevent him from interfering with Operation Tempest. After the operation failed, Woobat joined Jessie in retreating to [[Kanto]].

When Jessie returned to Unova in ''[[BW109|New Places...Familiar Faces!]]'', she brought Woobat with her, as revealed in ''[[BW113|The Light of Floccesy Ranch!]]'', where he was blasted off by an {{p|Ampharos}} Team Rocket attempted to steal.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Woobat was used to battle [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} alongside {{TP|James|Amoonguss}} as Jessie, [[James]], and Meowth tried to steal [[Colress]]'s Pokémon manipulation machine. Eventually Liepard's {{m|Shadow Ball}} veered and hit Colress's machine, releasing [[Iris's Dragonite]] and [[Rhoder]]'s {{p|Haxorus}} which were under his control.

In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Woobat helped fight off [[Team Plasma]]'s controlled Pokémon.

====Decolore Islands====
In ''[[BW139|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', Woobat battled Ash and {{ashfr}} for the final time in {{aniseries|BW}}. Team Rocket had managed to trap Iris's Axew and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}, and [[Ash's Snivy]] stepped up to save them. Woobat tried to stop her with Air Slash, but was pushed back by multiple {{m|Vine Whip}}s and a {{m|Leaf Storm}}. The Pokémon were then freed by a variety of attacks and Team Rocket was blasted off.

Woobat was given away to {{an|Giovanni}} for Team Rocket in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

==={{aniseries|JN}}===
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Woobat, alongside the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, were sent to Jessie and James so they could be added back to their team. Realizing the potential of such a large group, the team hatched a scheme to isolate Ash's Pikachu and capture him. Woobat was one of the many Pokémon that waited at the end of the trap, where he ambushed an isolated Pikachu. When the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon returned, Woobat joined them to launch a combined attack at the Mouse Pokémon. However, it was dodged, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} ended up sending it back with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. A wild {{an|Latias}} that had been following Ash then intervened and sent the evil group blasting off.

Woobat has shown to have a personality like Jessie as shown in ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', where Woobat was shown to like picking on Pokémon weaker and smaller than himself, shown when he was happy to chase and attack a small {{p|Joltik}}, but in ''[[BW037|A Fishy Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', Woobat was weak and frightened when he was about to be hit by Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} and when seeing Cilan's Dwebble evolve.

== Source for the kyerum ==

There's has been a leaker which has been correct so far during the air of "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master", wasn't sure how they'll show it so I put it as invisible until it's confirmed in the episode.(Here's the link: https://twitter.com/GryphonCool/status/1619602917815889925) ([[User:QuickJolteon|QuickJolteon]] ([[User talk:QuickJolteon|talk]]) 18:35, 29 January 2023 (UTC))
:It's an unofficial source, so it'd probably be for the best to not add it at all until the episode has aired. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

==Anime Reference==

Hello! Hope you're doing well. Regarding my latest edits, I wanted to clarify my point of view on the subject. I think the reference about the anime is clear in Pokémon Yellow (a game heavily inspired by the events of the anime), but unlikely in HG&SS, for as those games have had many other Pokémon added in that area (not just Pidgeotto and Pidgey). Hence, I am not sure if that would be a true reference in the remakes. [[User:Gust4vo|Gust4vo]] ([[User talk:Gust4vo|talk]]) 21:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
:I understand. Thanks for the explanation. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

== Ash's Pidgeot ==

Was it explicitly stated that Pidgeot returned to Ash's ownership? Keep in mind that Ash has reunited with all of his released Pokémon at some point, but only two of them ever returned to his team, even if only for a brief amount of time (Goodra and Naganadel). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 10:44, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
:Yes, Ash explicitly asked Pidgeot if it wanted to come with him, and it agreed. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:47, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

== Ash's Gengar ==

I invite you to weigh in on the talk page of [[Ash's Gengar]] regarding your recent edit warring on that page. My talk page comment went unopposed for just short of 6 months and I then made an edit that was nonetheless a compromise with anyone who might disagree.

::Being ticklish really isn't a unique trait, and with Ash being the main character for the vast majority of the anime, of course he's going to have experienced totally mundane things more than most other characters.

== Trivia ==
before the series began i put that Liko's Sprigatito was first grass type starter to be own by a female main character and it got removed but someone else does it and its fine but when I put something similar it get removed twice. both litten and Sprigatito are called the cat pokemon of their type, wouldn't that be notable? do i have to word it differently?{{unsigned|CuteSylveon42}}
:I removed it because second cases are not as notable as the first, and "cat starter Pokémon" sounds a bit too specific. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:18, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

== Punching Glove ==

Why did [[Special:Diff/3683162|you add]] that [[Punching Glove]] does not stack with Iron Fist (in March)? Game mechanics researchers [https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/scarlet-violet-battle-mechanics-research.3709545/page-13#post-9409193 found that it did] back in November. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:31, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

== EP099 ==

I really need to talk about this because it was something that was bothering me.

I have noticed you have been undoing my edits recently for EP099, and I feel the reasons you gave are insufficient and make no sense.

The first one in question is the Australian release unedited. My reason for editing the page is because I felt like the original sounded like the Australian versions were edited like the later Japanese releases. You undid my edit, saying it was mentioned above. I feel like the reasoning given was too vague, and no where does it say the Australian releases were unedited. It wasn't cut, yes, but it never said anything about it being edited.

And the most recent change I made a few days ago is regarding Lorelei's name being changed to Prima. My reasoning for rewording that part is because there was never a source about that, only speculation. I added that 4Kids may not realize that Lorelei already had an English name. But you also undid my edit, suggesting it was only speculation. This didn't make any sense to me because the syllable excuse is just as speculative. I am also questioning why it's wrong to mention anything speculative, but mentioning 4Kids changing her name because of lip flaps as fact without a source is okay?

I know SnorlaxMonster edited the page to match what I was trying to convey (with the same reasoning) and I am perfectly happy with the state of the page now, but I still wasn't happy that you undid my edits as if my reasoning was illegitimate. I didn't want to undo any of your edits, which is why I wanted to talk to you about it as it has bothered me for a while.[[User:JyuRaposa|JyuRaposa]] ([[User talk:JyuRaposa|talk]]) 07:34, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

== EP225 ==
Hello! I noticed that you undid my revision for EP225 of the Trivia I added. Are you able to recall a time that a Pokémon does an anime move error that is stated to be an error by someone in-universe? I forgot to mention that it also occurs in the ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' special but on the other hand, the Pokémon that does said error are clearly artificial Pokémon. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:In addition to that special, there is also a SM episode where a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move is acknowledged. I figured three exceptions to the rule didn't count as trivia worthy. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: Which Pokémon and move was this again? The only two incidents in the SM anime I can think of is acknowledging Rowlet not being able to use Bullet Seed (which it doesn't use) and Nebby using Supersonic (I'm not sure if anyone mentions that Nebby cannot use Supersonic). I personally believe that Mirage Pokémon special can be not counted considering that the Pokémon in question were artificial and were designed to exactly use those moves. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 09:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::I was referring to Rowlet. And the special still counts, as it acknowledges a Pokémon's inability to learn a certain move, regardless of the Pokémon being artificial or not. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:01, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I wouldn't really count the Rowlet one considering that it wasn't like he really used the move but for the Mirage Pokémon special, I'll quickly ask some of the moderators to see what they think. On another note, would it be better to reword the Trivia for AG170? I can see where you are coming from but at the same time, I think AG170 was really the only time Ash's Tauros was part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments. I count the Orange League as a Championship battle but I do agree that it isn't a tournament and could have been worded better. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 10:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::I'm not sure if there is a wording that wouldn't include too many "excepts". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::Given that Tauros was used in battle that episode, I find it hard to count it as being part of his active party for anything that isn't battling or tournaments, we briefly saw Kingler in Fire and Ice when it was eating, not being part of a battle.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 10:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

== Recent undoing ==
Hi Finnish! I noticed you've been quite active with editing some of my recent edits which I appreciate a lot and you're doing a good job! However, I've noticed you have been undoing some very minor edits of mine recently which are mostly just removing the overuse of "then". Are you able to tell me why you are undoing some of my more minor edits? Also, do NOT undo the TCG edits I am doing as I talked to MaverickNate about their structure and I need to fix those ones myself due to an error I made. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:I've simply felt that the sentence structure is better in those cases when the word "then" is used. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=JN137&diff=prev&oldid=3759447 here] the removal of the word implies that the chamber was already filled with cold air, when it was only filled with cold air afterwards. I can try to replaces those "thens" with other words, though, if you want. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:: That would be quite good if possible! I'm mostly removing "then" in some cases as some pages had as much as 39 instances of "then" being used a lot. The most notable pet peeve is when sentences start with something like "Ash then" or sentences go "Pikachu then uses Thunderbolt only for Raichu to then dodge before then using Iron Tail". I have noticed that your undos haven't been too constructive and that your editing is a lot better when you attempt to reword it yourself, so I would definitely recommend trying to reword things as you have been doing quite well so far today. There are obvious exceptions to when you shouldn't undo but based on your editing, I definitely encourage you to use other words! [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 13:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::Believe me, I've left many of your edits alone because removing the excessive use of that word is something I wholeheartedly support. It's just that sometimes, I feel the tense of the sentence suffers from the removal of the word. I'll try to work around it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:02, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: I had a look at your new revisions and they're looking pretty good! I'm giving you a heads-up that I'm going to edit some of the pages you undid and try to word them better on my end myself. By the time I'm done, hopefully the page is looking a lot better! I definitely feel that you're making a lot better progress when you edit it yourself rather than undo pages, so I wholeheartedly encourage you to try and reword things from here onwards and only use the undo button as a last resort. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 14:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::I hope you can understand that I'm not against your edits in general, just that I feel some sentences do work better with "then" being used. PS. You missed some of my edits because my internet thought it was disconnected for a minute for some reason. PPS. You've been editing an impressive amount of pages today, way more than I've edited per day in many years. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::I definitely understand where you are coming from with your edits as some of them have helped with wording and fact-checking. I do agree some sentences do work better but I'm mostly looking out for the sentences that don't work with it being used and so far, your recent edits are coming along quite well! [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::IMO, some of your "then" removals are unnecessary. The word itself can be useful in many sentences that can be difficult if not impossible to structure in the intended way with other words. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::::I've been noting the unnecessary removals and have been more careful with what to remove and what not to remove recently. So far, your edits have been going fine so far but I definitely encourage you to edit out the mistakes rather than undoing as sometimes, it also reverts edits that were correct. I did see your message on your talkpage prior to when you left a new message on mine which is why I have been more careful recently. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]], '''Bulbapedia and Archives Junior Administrator''' ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 12:33, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::"Correct" is subjective, and I feel we don't always see eye to eye which "thens" are okay to stay and which aren't. For example, "<character> then <verb>" makes it clear the action they're taking happens after the action from the previous sentence, not simultaneously. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::Misworded what I meant as the use of "then" had nothing to do with what I was trying to say. When I meant correct, I was talking about using the undo button rather than editing a mistake manually. An example would be if someone made two edits being "Pikachu is Yellow" and "Raichu is Blue". The undo button would definitely be an issue as it removes the edit that is correct (Pikachu is Yellow) in the process of removing the wrong edit (Raichu is Blue). As for my edits, I'll be more careful in the future but feel free to message me if there is any frequent incorrect edits.

:I didn't undo the edit because it was done by you. I removed it because on [[HZ001]]'s trivia section, it's mentioned that Nidothing and Quaxly narrate episode previews from this point on. Sure, there was an exception, where more people joined in, but the trivia can be changed to say "in most episodes from this episode onward". In short, I feel it's repetitive to say Nidothing narrates the preview in every episode when the preview narrator is much more consistent than it was with Journeys. Similarly, we do not list Ash as the preview narrator when he did it with every episode up to a certain point. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:16, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

== Regarding the trivia on JN147 ==

I'm not sure if you noticed, but Rahl recently changed the numbering for Ash's Pokémon (adding Larvitar and Nebby) and added them to the "Released" section under "Officially owned". As I haven't been as active on Bulbapedia as before, I wasn't sure on whether I missed a new discussion about it or not (since I'm pretty sure the last time it was brought up, it was agreed to leave the numbering alone), so that's why I went with that wording on the trivia for the time being.

Just to let you know, Drayton is the only member of the BB Elite Four who has a different team (besides levels) between his first battle and League Club rematch.

== Hi there! ==

Hi! I have a few things I wanted to discuss regarding your [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3884800&oldid=3884797 recent] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Perrin&diff=3892405&oldid=3892357 edits].

First, I wanted to convey that relatively new kinds of information that we don't normally include in articles, like what was removed in your recent edits, can have value and don't always need to be removed. Yes, info like this can be improved in many ways, but that doesn't diminish its potential value. If possible, it's better to improve the content instead of removing it outright. If you're just not sure you think it has value, you can always talk it out with whoever added it, or on the talk page of the article in question, just to get that other perspective.

Second, regarding your general editing habits, including edits like [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3822646&oldid=3822642 these] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Exeggutor_Island&diff=3827886&oldid=3827837 ones] as well, that it may be important to consider that if you need to make the same edit twice to a page (or even if you just feel the urge to do so), that this may signal the need to discuss the content on the relevant talk page or with the other user(s) involved.

Overall, using the tools the wiki gives us to discuss changes (edit summaries, talk pages, etc.) to best reach resolutions that are most agreeable to everyone, while possibly slowing down the pace of things, generally results in an experience more pleasurable for everyone. I hope you can take these things into consideration in your future editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or another [[staff]] member. Otherwise, happy editing (and happy new year!) [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 06:10, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
:Oh and one more thing I'd like to suggest is adding cleanup tags and other {{cat|notice templates}} to pages/sections that you feel could use improvement, but may not have the time, energy, or know-how to resolve in the moment, rather than removing the content entirely or reverting it outright. Hope this helps! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 07:13, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

== Pokemon World Tournament Junior Cup/Gym Leaders ==

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_World_Tournament&action=edit&undoafter=3897245&undo=3897313

I had forgotten how inconvenient this is.

''Two separate competitions.''

Yes, my dear, that's exactly why one is called the Junior Cup and the other isn't. Let me explain, "Junior Cup" is a term used for smaller competitions of larger competitions that are generally mostly for children or teenagers (exactly the audience that participated in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup). You can search the term on Google if you prefer.

Furthermore, all the other information I included came from the episodes themselves, Cynthia and Alder participated in the event as part of the team, one in the preparation and dismantling of the event and the other as a commentator. This was said and shown in the episodes themselves.

Cynthia said that the event is open to everyone in the same episode where she met Ash in Unova. I check the information directly from the Japanese episodes. So what exactly is the point of undoing absolutely everything from that edit?

Now I would ask you where it was said that the Tournament that Ash and company participated in Unova is not related to the PWT, but I think that would be too much, right?

Regarding the edit of the Gym Leader page, I have already expressly spoken to an admin that if I can increase a page instead of creating another, I am free. So it would be nice for you to use something other than your personal opinion to undo an almost 2-hour edit of something that was used to try to put more content on the page.

I'm not even going to undo the edits, since the last thing I want is to get into an edit war, but I'm leaving my opinion here.--{{unsigned|Hikaru Wazana}}
:No need to be rude or sarcastic, please. Regarding the PWT, I do not recall anyone during that arc stating out loud that the Junior Cup is directly related to the main tournament in anything but name. As for the Gym Leader edit, I was not aware that you had admin permission for expanding the page to such a degree. At that moment, I just felt that listing all the current Gym Leaders in the anime like that would be excessive. And as far as I'm concerned, edit war does not start until one side makes multiple, repeated reversions. So in case you want to return those edits, go ahead, and I'll edit them in ways that don't involve total reversion. PS. This is just a personal preference, but the page is easier to read for the editor if you leave an empty row between a paragraph and the next section header. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

==Images==

Please do not add "official artwork from" to gallery tables when the when the gallery section header is already "artwork". 
Please do not change "model" to "VS Model". They aren't a thing that exists, it's just their pose when they begin a battle, using their existing model used throughout every instance in the game. --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:"Official artwork from" is a thing that's always been present in galleries. It specifies what kind of artwork it is. And "VS model" is a thing that's used to specify the 3D models we see what a Trainer in a 3D Pokémon game is challenged to a battle, to differentiate them from overworld and in-battle models. I feel you're making this a much bigger problem than it actually is. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:: '''-''' The overworld and in-battle models have been the same since LGPE, therefore, there is no distinction. Currently, the way it reads is as if the model within the battle, when you're '''"VS"''' them, is different to how it usually is, which is not true. Calling it '''"model"''' simply avoids confusion, and is clear, direct, and to the point. '''"VS Model"''' is also a fan-made term that does not actually exist within the context of the series. '''-''' '''"Official artwork from"''' is not needed, because the gallery sections have changed since the site began. They now have their own '''artwork''' sub-heading, which means we do not need to specify that it is artwork in a table exclusively for artwork. We only do not upload unofficial or fan-made images on anything that isn't a Project Fandom page, which means that we do not need to specify that the artwork is '''official.''' --[[User:Lewtwo|Lewtwo]] ([[User talk:Lewtwo|talk]]) 20:31, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

::::Looking at [[Special:Diff/3898892|Crispin]], I'd say that I don't know how "official" does anything very useful (and at that point, "artwork" also becomes redundant). As far as the model, I think it would be entirely fair to specify that it's the model in their VS pose or battle or something. Y'all can work out something you like, but I don't think it fundamentally has to be just "model". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:37, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

== Masters appearances ordering ==

Hey, about the Masters appearances sections: it seems like you've got the general hang of it, but I wanted to talk about the ordering of main story areas. When I was originally doing my big reorganization of Masters quotes pages a year ago, I ordered them as PML Arc → Villain Arc → Legendary Adventures, since that was the order that those sections were added to the main story. However, later on, I realized that this organization doesn't entirely make sense, since all Legendary Adventures stories take place before the Villain Arc chronologically, and with the exception of Lurking Shadow, they were all added to Legendary Adventures before the corresponding villain arc chapter. So, I decided to start moving Legendary Adventures quotes above Villain Arc quotes, and I've been ordering the story appearances sections with Legendary Adventures areas above Villain Arc areas.

The reason I mention all this is because I noticed you've made a couple edits where you move Villain Arc areas above Legendary Adventures areas in the story appearances list, and I wanted to make sure we're both on the same page with the intended order instead of just flat reverting your edits. So, with all that said, do you have any reasons why Villain Arc areas should be listed first, or are you okay with leaving legendary event/Legendary Adventures areas above them? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 22:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
:I have absolutely no problem with your suggested method of ordering the events. In fact, when I moved a couple Legendary Adventures areas below the Villain Arc areas, I eventually realized they didn't chronologically fit there and moved them back soon after. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:09, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
::Gotcha, gotcha. I saw you hadn't moved it back on Ethan's page, so I was worried it might still be there on others.
::As an aside, the <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> line only needs to be included above an anchor if the anchor is above the first section on the page. It's a macro(?) that sets the position of the table of contents, which is automatically put above the first section if the page has four or more sections. The issue I discovered was that if there are anchors above the first section, those anchors brought me to the table of contents instead of the first section. So, by forcing the table of contents to appear above the anchors, the anchors brought me to the first section, as I intended. So that's why it's there, and it doesn't need to be above every section.

== Masters EX Summaries ==

Hi. I asked the opinion of some others after you removed content from an article twice. It is not only acceptable to include a short summary of the page you are directing readers to, but it actually preferred! By removing this content, the section not only became virtually ''un''informative, but also provided a worse reader experience for those learning about [[Jessie's Arbok]] but not knowledgeable about Master EX. The lead-in provided a quick gist of the content that can be found on the hatnote link, far beyond just saying "this exists". It's a pretty bold stance to remove content about Jessie's Arbok from the Jessie's Arbok page, so I will be adding the information back in. If you find that you still wish the content to be removed, feel free to bring the topic up on [[Bulbapedia:Project Sidegames]]' talk page, as removing it again would be your third time removing the content, and I don't think starting an edit war would be an effective use of anyone's time.

::An important line from the [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy]] is '''fewer than three edits may qualify if there is a pattern of conduct occurring across multiple pages'''.

You added suicune under "Other" for "Pokémon Previously seen at Cerise Laboratory". For consistency, it should not be included above there as it is already included as part of the category for Goh's pokémon. If we include it there on the basis that it's not with Goh, then we would also need to include Floette, since that pokémon was released and is not with Goh either.

I understand what you were thinking since Suicune was not a "Pokémon left at Cerise Laboratory" by Goh, so it doesn't feel like it should fit there. It may be helpful to rename the sections.--[[User:Vi|Vi]] ([[User talk:Vi|talk]]) 04:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

== Could you please help guide me? ==

Hi,

I'm very new to editing Bulbapedia, and I'd like to ask a question that I don't know where to ask. I noticed that you helped clean up a grammar mistake in my first contribution, and you seem to be knowledgable about Bulbapedia in general, so I decided to ask you.

Currently, I want to help add the missing information of the [[Union Cave]] in Generation IV (specifically about the Pokemon encounter rate and the layout of the two exits to the Ruins of Alph), but I'm not sure how the encounter rate is calculated. For example: do we just test running into wild Pokemon a lot of times and calculate the percentage, or is the information extracted from the game somehow?

I've tried using the Help page and the FAQ page, but I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for.

Could you please help point me to where I should read more, so I can help add the information above?

Sorry for cluttering your talk page,

Just be sure that every episode or manga chapter you add in the future is written in italics, like this: <nowiki>''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''</nowiki> --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:42, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

== Armor Cannon ==

Hello! I think you're knowledgeable about move depictions, so I wanted your opinion on something. Have you seen the new POKÉTOON episode? I'm on the fence if we can say for sure the moves Armor Cannon and Bitter Blade have been used. Do you think they have? If so, can you point me towards it please? Also, I want to say Charcadet used Ember at some points, like against Crabominable, but feel like it's not decisive enough. [[User:Shinka|Shinka]] ([[User talk:Shinka|talk]]) 14:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
:I have seen the episode, yes. One earlier, more childish episode made me reluctant to watch more, but this one proved to be way more up my alley with its touching story. You've managed to cover stuff about this episode very well on Bulbapedia, much better than I could due to my initial hesitancy to watch the episode. And yes, I think their signature moves were used during their final clash of attacks. As for Ember, yes, I think Charcadet used it against Crabominable. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks, man! Regarding the earlier episodes, I can definitely see why you thought that. This one feels so much more different than previous episodes it almost seems out of place, though I guess this is the charm of this series. I just want to clarify some things about the moves: 1) In the final clash, when Ceruledge fires the X-shaped energy blades, you think it's using Bitter Blade, right? 2) Do you think Ceruledge used any other move? Its moves were much less clearer to point to than Armarouge's. 3) The Bronzor definitely used a move in the cemetery, would you say it can be clearly defined? Because it could be Light Screen, Reflect, or even none of them. 4) And lastly, would you say Armarouge used Mystical Fire in the battle? I feel it's more of a stretch, but the colorful flames are so much different than any other fire it used that it makes me think. [[User:Shinka|Shinka]] ([[User talk:Shinka|talk]]) 15:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
:::1) Yeah, that was probably X-Scissor, based on the shape. I think the shadowy blade that was fired earlier was more likely to be Bitter Blade. 2) Not sure, honestly. I don't think it used anything beyond those two. 3) It was most likely either Reflect or Light Screen, depending on which move it was used to block, I forget. 4) Based on the color of the flames (orange and purple) definitely makes it look like Mystical Fire. It'd mean that Armarouge used more than four moves in the final match, but this is an animated special, so I think we don't have to think too hard about that rule in this case. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
::::Thanks for your input! And also sorry for springing on you with so many questions. I'll add the Bitter Blade, X-Scissor, Mystical Fire, and Reflect/Light Screen later. [[User:Shinka|Shinka]] ([[User talk:Shinka|talk]]) 17:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
:::::You're welcome! And no problem! Always happy to see someone so dedicated to improving this site! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
: Upon rewatching, I'm inclined to say Ceruledge used Shadow Claw (the move that is deflected by the Bronzor, due to the way it creeps through the floor, which would also "confirm" the Bronzor used Reflect) and Bitter Blade (the move it uses to defeat Gengar). X-Scissor feels somewhat weird to use on that final confrontation, but it would probably be the best guess. Either that or Night Slash, since Ceruledge's move also has that bluish glow. Psychic seems to have that characteristic purple/pink glow in the episode, so Psycho Cut would be out of question. About Mystical Fire, it still boggles me; when Armarouge shoots the fire, it spirals, like Fire Spin, but the previous Fire Spin did not have those orange and purple colors. Do you think some of these moves would be better kept as unidentified in Bulbapedia? [[User:Shinka|Shinka]] ([[User talk:Shinka|talk]]) 20:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
::I completely forgot the Gengar fight. Bitter Blade was used there. And as for Mystical Fire, it's animation in the games is also spiraling, isn't it? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
:::Mystical Fire seems to spiral in its game animation, yes! Going to be working on adding these moves now. Again, thank you for your input! [[User:Shinka|Shinka]] ([[User talk:Shinka|talk]]) 00:06, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

:I already have refrained myself from editing the page a couple days ago, so no problem.

Professor Westwood V

2026-04-23T04:49:54Z

HoennMaster: /* Trivia */ No longer the case

[[File:Professor Westwood V.png|thumb|250px|Westwood]]
'''Professor Westwood V''' (Japanese: '''ニシノモリ教授　５世''' ''Professor Nishinomori V'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''.

==In animation==
Upon reaching {{an|Seafoam Island}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} meet Professor Westwood. Ash sums up Westwood's personality by whispering "He seems a little eccentric". Eccentric, indeed, can describe Professor Westwood, who prefers to be called Westwood V, as {{an|Brock}} even theorizes that his eccentricity is hereditary; portraits of four identical Westwood ancestors adorn the walls on the Westwood V's Laboratory as well as his younger self.

He is esteemed for his work on the [[Pokédex]], which he wrote the [[Pokédex entry|entries]] for. Professor Westwood admitted to Ash later in the episode, though, that he made up some of the information in the Pokédex. Westwood doesn't travel much, and merely relies on reports for his Pokédex data.

When Ash and friends meet up with him, his task at that time was to discover how {{p|Slowpoke}} [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Slowbro}}. The problem, after stumping the famous professor, was soon solved as the episode progressed, with {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder|Jessie's Shellder}} clamping on Westwood's Slowpoke's tail. Slowpoke evolved into Slowbro, thus commencing Westwood's studies on the matter.

This task done was in the hope that he would be awarded more, thus thinking that the Pokémon Symposium would be impressed by his work. The outcome of this, though, is uncertain.

Westwood is eccentric in such a way that he asks the portraits of Westwood I to IV to forgive him for his mistakes, and sometimes forgets and requests forgiveness from his own portrait, as well. He has also expressed desire to surpass his predecessors' achievements, too, though, and even commented that he deserved a statue rather than a mere portrait.

Westwood might be also considered a bit vain, as he has not replaced his portrait with a more recent one. His portrait was taken some time ago, as he had a full head of hair in the said painting. He was quite good looking, anyway, and tends to stare at his portrait at length after prostrating to the other four.

Other than that, Westwood has dedicated his life to being a Pokémon Professor and researcher, and cares much for his last remaining Pokémon, Slowpoke, as evident from the part where Team Rocket tried to capture it.

Professor Westwood's Slowpoke, which subsequently evolved into Slowbro after Jessie's Shellder accidentally clamped on its tail, is Westwood's last remaining Pokémon after his previous ones had been given away to beginning Trainers or released. Slowbro enjoys the company of [[Misty's Psyduck]], who shares its unintelligent, clueless look.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} investigated, [[Misty's Psyduck]] came out and engaged Slowpoke in a random, unintelligible conversation. A {{p|Magikarp}} grabbed both of their tails, but nothing happened.

Later, when {{TRT}} attempted to capture all of the Pokémon in Westwood V's lab, Slowpoke came in. He tried to run away with Slowpoke, but the trio caught up. [[Jessie]] sent out her newly captured {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Shellder}}, and it clamped onto Psyduck. This gave it a headache, prompting it to use {{m|Disable}} and {{m|Confusion}}, which sent Team Rocket flying. Slowpoke walked over to Psyduck to thank it, but it tripped on Shellder, which clamped onto its tail and caused it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Slowbro. Team Rocket tried to grab it, but it used {{m|Mega Punch}}, sending them flying again. In the end, Psyduck said goodbye to Slowbro in another random conversation.

Slowbro's known moves are {{m|Amnesia}} and {{m|Mega Punch}}.}}

==In the guidebooks==
Professor Westwood and his ancestors are a reference to an early bit of the franchise's [[Pokémon world|worldbuilding]]. As detailed across [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]], [[Tamamushi University Pocket Book]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site, modern [[Poké Ball]]s were developed in 1925 from the research of a Professor Westwood of [[Celadon University]]. As many characters and details of this early lore reference the games' development, Professor Nishinomori's name appears to be a combination of [[Kōji Nishino]] and [[Ken Sugimori]].

==Trivia==
* In the [[dub]], Westwood is stated to have outright programmed the [[Pokédex]] himself, as opposed to just writing its [[Pokédex entry|entries]].

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

[[File:Pocket Monsters W logo.png|thumb|Korean logo for ''Pocket Monsters W'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the eighth and final series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on all of the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows {{aniseries|SM}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|HZ}}. It premiered between November 17, 2019 and March 24, 2023 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and between June 12, 2020 and September 8, 2023 in {{pmin|the United States}}. In South Korea, the series was released as '''''Pocket Monsters W''''' (Korean: '''포켓몬스터W''' ''Pocket Monsters W'').

Similar to how {{aniseries|DP}} featured [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{an|Dawn}} as dual protagonists, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' introduces [[Goh]] as a protagonist alongside Ash. Additionally, much like how ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'' established a home base for Ash on [[Melemele Island]], this series establishes the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]] as Ash and Goh's main base of operations, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}—specifically, all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], a competition used to decide the world's strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{an|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and aims to complete his [[Pokédex]] while participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also prominently features a young girl named [[Chloe]] and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who appoints Ash and Goh as research fellows for the Cerise Laboratory.

As with the previous three series, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in {{aniseries|XY}}. About halfway through the series, many of the Pokémon's colors have been changed to match the colorization in their models in {{g|HOME}}.

''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' features the return of many characters that have appeared over the course of ''Pokémon the Series'', from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and Dawn, for example) to recurring characters (like {{Gary}}, {{an|Korrina}}, and [[Paul]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' concludes several storylines created over the years within ''Pokémon the Series'', such as the search for [[Mohn]], [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's desire to challenge {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' is the first series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main story. This is also the first series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'', released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode epilogue miniseries focused on Ash and Pikachu called ''[[To Be a Pokémon Master|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]'' was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref> In the dub, this miniseries was combined with the special episode ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]'' to form the final batch of ''[[S25|Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series]]''. In this miniseries, Ash reunites with his old friends Brock and {{an|Misty}} on a tour to see the world while making new friends and reuniting with old ones.

Episodes in ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''JN''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[List of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes|list of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum has a new plan: see the world! But first, he and his partner Pikachu are headed to the opening of the Cerise Laboratory, a research facility dedicated to uncovering the mysteries of Pokémon in every region. Ash meets Goh, another boy with boundless curiosity about Pokémon, and both are overjoyed when Professor Cerise asks them to become official research fellows. With Ash as determined as ever to become a Pokémon Master, and Goh aiming to catch one of every Pokémon (including the Mythical Mew), our heroes are in for adventure and excitement as they explore the wide world of Pokémon!

==Arcs and seasons==
''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release. When ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was divided into three seasons.

**** To feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
**** To feature more than three [[List of English opening themes|English opening themes]].
*** {{aniseries|BW}}
**** Where Pokémon have rejoined Ash's regular rotation after leaving it in a prior series.
**** In which the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
***** However, this message was removed in the English dub.
**** To feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[first partner Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the current generation in the animated series concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.

** To have a [[One, Two, Three|Japanese opening theme]] with more than two different versions.

** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in which:

[[File:Pokemon Best Wishes Series.png|thumb|Japanese logo]]
'''''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターベストウイッシュ''' ''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes!'') is the fourth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the fifth series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on the events of the [[Generation V]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows {{aniseries|DP}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|XY}}. It ran from September 23, 2010 to October 3, 2013 (with a [[BWS02|special episode]] on March 27, 2014) in Japan and from February 12, 2011 to December 7, 2013 in {{pmin|the United States}}. It was not given an English name until after the release of {{aniseries|XY}}.

After ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' featured two main protagonists, ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' returns to revolving primarily around [[Ash Ketchum]], who sets out to travel through the [[Unova]] [[region]] and challenge the [[Unova League]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unlike before, Ash is not joined by any of his previous traveling companions. Instead, he is accompanied by an aspiring {{t|Dragon}} [[Type expert|Master]] by the name of {{an|Iris}}, and one of the first Unova [[Gym Leader]]s, {{an|Cilan}}, who is also a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. Much like the previous two series, Ash receives a change of [[Ash's clothing#Pokémon the Series: Black & White|outfit]].

''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' is notable for its shift to the previous formula, particularly regarding how the [[Team Rocket trio]] is handled. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are no longer present in all episodes (excluding the clip show episode [[AG120]] and the [[EP001|very first episode]]), a trend that continued into subsequent series. The trio also receives a change of [[Team Rocket trio's clothing#Pokémon the Series: Black & White|clothes]] for the very first time, though they later change back to their original outfits. For a majority of the series, they play a significantly more antagonistic role than before, displaying very little humor with more complex and thought-out schemes. This changes close to the end of the series, when they follow Ash and {{ashfr}} during their journey through the [[Decolore Islands]] and gradually regain their more humorous tone from the previous series.

A new art style was introduced in this series. To match [[Ken Sugimori]]'s most recent character art, all characters are now drawn with the new eye style previously introduced in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''. This style includes rounder eyes with larger irises and visible pupils. Ash's new design now clearly depicts his brown eyes, and Jessie and James are redesigned similarly, while also being given a straighter hairstyle. Additionally, the [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] in Unova are designed differently than those of the previous regions, a trend that would continue in later series.

With the beginning of this series, many attacks also have had their visual appearances changed. {{type|Fire}} moves and {{m|Stone Edge}} are now rendered in CGI, while [[Physical move|physical]] {{type|Steel}} moves make the corresponding body part steel-colored rather than white (although this was reverted in {{aniseries|XY}}). {{m|Hyper Beam}} has also been changed considerably, to match how it looks in the games. Starting from this series, the camera pans faster and more often than in previous series. Its zooms have also become faster.

The series also saw the return of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the English dub of [[BW001|the first episode]], and the return of ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' in [[BW061]] after an absence of 444 episodes.

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''BW''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon the Series: Black & White episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
When Ash and his mother accompany Professor Oak to the distant Unova region, Ash discovers Pokémon that he’s never seen before… and that he can’t wait to catch! He may have Pikachu at his side together with new friends Iris and Cilan, but he’ll still need plenty of new Pokémon on his team if he wants to challenge Unova’s expert Gym Leaders. His quest to become a Pokémon Master just got even tougher!

==Arcs and seasons==
''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release, similar to the "chapters" of the [[original series]].

When ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was divided into three seasons:

==Etymology==
The ''Best Wishes'' title was likely selected using words beginning with B and W as an allusion to its counterpart games, {{2v2|Black|White}}. Additionally, the katakana transcription of the English word "Wishes" (ウイッシュ ''Uisshu'') contains the Japanese name of [[Unova]] (イッシュ ''Isshu''), the region the games and animated series take place in.

"Best wishes" is exclaimed at various points in the series, usually when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are saying goodbye to a recurring character or a [[character of the day]]. This carries over even to the dub.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the other series, Team Rocket usually flies away with jetpacks instead of being blasted off at the end.
* Prior to the [[series]]' debut, for several weeks, previews explicitly excluded {{Ash}}, and he did not appear on one of the pre-release posters. His absence was specifically commented on by the hosts of [[Pokémon Sunday]].
* This is the only series in which:
** Every main character was a {{pkmn|Trainer}} prior to the series.
** All of Ash's traveling companions have at least one [[rival]].
** No first partner Pokémon belonging to a main character fully [[Evolution|evolves]].
** No Pokémon are {{pkmn2|released}} by a main character (excluding Cilan's temporary Basculin).
** No [[doppelgänger]]s or [[Pokémon multiverse|multiverse counterparts]] of main characters appear.
** Only one [[title card]] has been used without any variations.
* This is the only series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in which:
** Ash directly encounters {{an|Giovanni}} outside of movies or specials.
** [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] is not part of the regular cast. His only appearance in this series was in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' and {{pkmn|movie}} shorts.
** None of Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s are interrupted by Team Rocket.
** There are no [[boss fantasy|boss fantasies]].
** Ash regresses his finishing placement in a Pokémon League.
** Extra Pokémon Ash caught were not sent to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] in [[Pallet Town]]; instead, they were sent to the laboratory of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]], [[Professor Juniper]].
** Ash does not have a [[Full Battle|full six-on-six battle]].
*** His battle against {{un|Cameron}} was intended to be a Full Battle, but cannot be considered a proper six-on-six, as Cameron only uses five Pokémon due to his belief that a Full Battle is a five-on-five battle.
** Ash and his friends continued to explore new areas of a region after its [[Pokémon League Conference]] had ended.
** [[Jessie]] and [[James]] temporarily change their main outfits.
** Ash's traveling companions are not introduced to {{Delia|his mother}}, either by phone call or in person.
** Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} the [[first partner Pokémon]] in reverse [[Pokédex]] order, obtaining {{AP|Oshawott}}, then {{AP|Tepig}}, and finally {{AP|Snivy}}. During all of the other times where he caught multiple first partner Pokémon, he caught the {{t|Grass}} type first, following up with the {{t|Fire}} type, and finally catching the {{t|Water}} type among the group in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] only.
** All of Ash's main [[Iris (anime)|traveling]] [[Cilan (anime)|companions]] have had the capture circumstances of all their Pokémon known.
* ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' shares a number of similarities to the [[original series]], especially in its first few episodes, including:
** Both of Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} are based on [[Gym Leader]]s.
** Ash meets his female traveling companion first.
** Ash sees a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the first episode.
** Ash's main [[rival]] is introduced and receives his first partner Pokémon in the first episode.
** Ash meets his male traveling companion in the fifth episode, who leaves behind his Gym Leader duties to travel with Ash.
*** Both male companions are the first Gym Leaders that Ash battles and obtains Badges from in that region.
** The sixth episode of each series features a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that evolves via [[Moon Stone]].
** Ash catches the Unova first partner Pokémon in the same circumstances as he caught the Kanto first partner Pokémon: the Water-type Pokémon follows him, the Fire-type Pokémon is abandoned by its original Trainer, and the Grass-type Pokémon is found in the wild.
*** The Fire type's [[Original Trainer]] tries to get their former Pokémon back after witnessing their powers, but fails.
*** The Grass type initially distrusted humans, but Ash gained its respect and it allowed him to battle and catch it.
*** Of the three, only the Fire type evolved.
** Much like the Johto first partner Pokémon, none of his Unova first partner Pokémon evolve into their final forms.
** Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} more than six Pokémon.
** None of Ash's traveling companions owns or catches a first partner Pokémon.
** Ash caught a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon with a three-stage evolutionary line who evolved into its final form.
** [[Ash's Charizard]] returns near the end of the series.
** After ending his journey across a region, Ash spends a number of episodes traveling through a group of islands exclusive to the animated series.
** Ash's traveling companions leave in the penultimate episode of the series.
** This series and the original series are the only series in which Ash wears his attire for the following series in the final episode.
** The main heroine from ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', {{an|Iris}}, also shares some similarities to the main heroine from the original series, {{an|Misty}}. Both of them:
*** Try to avoid returning to a specific [[Gym]].
*** Were already traveling prior to the start of the series.
*** Debut in the first episode of the series, but are not introduced in full until the second episode.
*** Are aiming to master a specific Pokémon [[type]].
*** Are afraid of a specific Pokémon type (Misty is scared of Bug types, while Iris is scared of {{t|Ice}} types).
*** Traveled with a Pokémon which they kept outside the [[Poké Ball]] at all times (Misty with {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} and Iris with {{TP|Iris|Axew}}). Both Pokémon would eventually evolve outside of their respective series; Togepi evolves into {{p|Togetic}} during {{aniseries|RS}}, and Axew evolves into {{p|Fraxure}} and then {{p|Haxorus}} offscreen prior to {{aniseries|JN}}.
*** Caught a Pokémon in a special episode after parting ways with Ash (Misty caught {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} in the side story ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' and Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in the special episode [[BWS02]]).
** The [[Vertress Conference]] shares some similarities to the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], the first [[Pokémon League Conference]] from the original series. In both of them:
*** Ash battles a fully evolved {{type|Grass}} Pokémon as his first opponent.
*** Ash's main [[rival]] is eliminated in the preliminary rounds.
*** Ash is eliminated without having had a full 6-on-6 battle.
*** Ash does not battle the winner of the tournament.
*** The tournament ends on a scene of Ash standing in the stadium, reminiscing about his journey as the sun rises and the current theme song plays.
** The plot of [[M16|a movie]] featuring a {{p|Mewtwo}} is [[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening|foreshadowed]] before the movie itself.
* This is the first series in which:
** Ash actively cycles his Pokémon between those in his [[party]] and in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]], though only with the Pokémon he caught in Unova.
** James does not have any [[walking Pokémon]] since the original series.
** The first episode of the series did not premiere the same day its respective games were released since the original series.
** All episodes that were originally aired in Japan were dubbed. Previously, the [[original series]] had four [[banned episodes]] ([[EP018]], [[EP035]], [[EP038]], [[EP250]]) and ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'' and ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' dubs each skipped recap episodes ([[AG120]], [[DP048]], [[DP120]]). There were two unaired episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' (intended to be {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}}), but they were also unaired in Japan.
** [[Cassidy]], [[Butch]], or [[Charles Goodshow]] don't appear at all.
** {{an|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, or {{Gary}} don't appear in person.
*** Brock does appear in the special episode [[BWS01]], but not in the series proper.
** Brock is not a traveling companion to Ash.
** None of Ash's traveling companions are people he has traveled with in previous series.
** [[Misty's special lure]] is not featured.
** [[TAJ Productions]] was not involved in the production of the English dub.
** No background music produced by [[4Kids Entertainment]] is featured in international dubs.
** The English dub for the entire series was recorded at [[DuArt Media Services|DuArt Film & Video]].
*** It is also the first series of the English dub to be recorded at a single recording studio, as well as the first series to have a single primary voice director.
** All episodes are widescreen, or 16:9 aspect ratio.
** Ash's female traveling companion's age is not mentioned.
* ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', the last appearance of {{an|Meloetta}}, aired in Japan during the same week that Meloetta's debut, ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', aired in {{pmin|the United States}}.
** Similarly, ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', the final episode of ''Season 2: [[Episode N]]'', aired in Japan during the same week that ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', the first episode of said arc, aired in the United States.
* The first Japanese opening theme of the series, {{so|Best Wishes!}}, is currently the longest-running opening theme which hasn't been re-mixed.
* This is the first series to not receive a {{pkmn|manga}}, not counting movie adaptations.
* This is the last series to date in the dub where the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!".

{{search|third [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]]|the series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]|Pokémon Trading Card Game#Diamond & Pearl Series|Pokémon Trading Card Game → Diamond & Pearl Series}} ''For other uses, see [[Diamond and Pearl (disambiguation)]].''

[[File:Pokémon the Series Diamond and Pearl logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Series logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo]]
'''''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド＆パール''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl'') is the third [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the fourth series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on the events of the [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows {{aniseries|RS}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|BW}}. It ran from September 28, 2006 to September 9, 2010 in Japan (with two [[DPS01|special]] [[DPS02|episodes]] on February 3, 2011) and from June 4, 2007 to February 5, 2011 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first three episodes aired as a sneak peak in the United States on April 20, 2007. It was not given an English name until after the release of {{aniseries|XY}}.

For the first time in the animated series, a second protagonist is introduced alongside [[Ash Ketchum]]. While previous series revolved around Ash and his {{pkmn|journey}} first and foremost, ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' follows Ash traveling through the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] alongside his new companion {{an|Dawn}}, a rookie [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]] who wishes to follow in the footsteps of [[Johanna|her mother]] and gain the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. Likewise, Ash continues his goal to be a [[Pokémon Master]] by aiming to conquer the [[Sinnoh League]], while both are joined by Ash's longtime companion {{an|Brock}}, who resumes his role of cooking for and advising his friends after reuniting with Ash.

Like with ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', both Ash and Brock received a change of clothes. Similarly, their {{an|May|previous female companion}} returns for a few episodes, wearing new clothes based on that of her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} in {{game|Emerald}}.

Much like how the [[original series]] transitioned from cel-based coloring to digital coloring in its final few episodes, ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' featured the show's move from a standard definition 4:3 presentation to a high-definition 16:9 format around the middle of its run. Additionally, moves like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} started being rendered in CGI following this transition.

''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' is different from the previous two series in that it is more story driven. While there are fewer episodes dedicated to [[Gym]] battles or [[Pokémon Contest]]s than previous series had in the same amount of time, more captures, more departures, and more [[rival]]s have been introduced when compared to earlier series.

Additionally, this series is more violent and dramatic than its predecessors, in part stemming from the character [[Paul]] whose training method sharply contrasts with Ash's so much that he abuses [[Ash's Infernape|one of his Pokémon]] for not doing well, and likewise stemming from the cataclysmic nature of the plot of Sinnoh's resident [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], as well as the actions of the heartless mercenary [[J]].

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''DP''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
If Gary Oak is headed for the Sinnoh region, then Ash Ketchum won’t be far behind! Ready to take on the Sinnoh League, Ash brings along Pikachu and meets up with Brock in Sinnoh, where the pair of Trainers are soon joined by a third—Dawn, a novice Pokémon Coordinator determined to follow in the footsteps of her mother. Both Ash and Dawn struggle with their respective paths, but it’s easy for them to make new friends, gaining new Pokémon like Turtwig and Piplup.

==Arcs and seasons==
When ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was divided up into four seasons.

== Vileplume ==

Isn't weird the trivia section there's no mention despite our heroes are the Orange Islands, the Vileplume from this episode have a regular color like in Kanto and not a different one from Valencia Island? [[User:ScientistRafa|ScientistRafa]] ([[User talk:ScientistRafa|talk]]) 04:00, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
:Only the alternate colored Butterfree from Valencia Island were seen in later episodes. All the other alternate colored Pokémon like Vileplume, Raticate, etc. were exclusive to Valencia island. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 06:07, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

HoennMaster: /* Trivia */ Route 23 is not a named location in HGSS, the the overall area between Victory Road and Indigo Plateau still exits, just under a difference name.

The '''Indigo Plateau''' (Japanese: '''セキエイ{{ruby|高原|こうげん}}''' ''Sekiei Plateau'') serves as the capital for the [[Pokémon League]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It is the final destination for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s collecting [[Indigo League|Indigo]] or [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]s. This is where the Trainers who have defeated all of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of either Kanto or [[Johto]] battle against the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]]. In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, it is the location of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], and the Pokémon League Village.

It is located just north of {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{rt|23|Kanto}}, and east of [[Mt. Silver]]. In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the only way to reach the Indigo Plateau is by going through Route 23. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Indigo Plateau is reached by going through {{rt|26|Kanto}}. In all the games, Trainers must venture through Victory Road, a lengthy [[cave]] acting as a final test for Trainers.

The Elite Four must be battled consecutively, with breaks to the [[Pokémon Center]] prohibited. Trainers are unable to go back or return to previous rooms. The only way to open the door and progress through each room is to defeat the Elite Four member of that room. Each member of the Elite Four is stronger than the previous member, and like Gym Leaders, each specializes in a different [[type]].

==Slogan==
'''''The ultimate goal of Trainers!'''''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or '''''The Ultimate Goal for Trainers!'''''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} and '''''The highest Pokémon authority!''''' [non-Japanese Generations I and III only] (Japanese, all generations: '''ポケモントレーナーの　頂点''' ''The Pokémon Trainer's zenith'' and '''ポケモン　最高機関''' ''The highest organization on Pokémon'').

==Geography==
===Superstructure===
[[File:Indigo Plateau HGSS.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Generation IV]]
In the {{pkmn|games}}, Indigo Plateau is depicted as a large building surrounded by mountainous areas. Indigo Plateau area changes in every generation, however in every generation there is a small area at the entrance that connects the exit of {{ka|Victory Road}} to Indigo Plateau.

In [[Generation I]], there is a narrow passageway, where giant statues act as barriers that lead to the entrance.

In [[Generation II]], the area between Victory Road and Indigo Plateau is shorter and wider, and the statues have been removed only to be replaced by trees.

In [[Generation III]], there is a flight of stairs that leads up to Indigo Plateau from Route 23, with a small area outside the entrance with a couple of giant statues.

In [[Generation IV]], the pathway is the same as Generation II, but much fancier. There are two archways each with a small set of stairs above them and {{i|Poké Ball}} statues that appear left and right across the path. The {{FB|Headbutt|tree}}s on both sides of the path can be {{m|Headbutt}}ed, but they do not contain any [[wild Pokémon]].

In [[Generation VII]], the exterior is highly similar to how it was in Generation III, with several big statues standing on both sides of a flight of stairs, accompanied by multiple lush trees.

On the ground floor is a combined [[Poké Mart]] and [[Pokémon Center]]. This is the last safe stop before Trainers make their way up to the upper floors, therefore, Trainers can purchase and stock up on items, as well as heal their Pokémon before leaving. There are a number of things a {{player}} can do on this floor. A [[Pokémon Center lady]] heals all status conditions, recharges [[HP]] and [[PP]] of all [[party]] Pokémon, free of charge. She is located at the main counter just as the player enters Indigo Plateau. It also hosts the Cable Club and the Union Room, which facilitates multiplayer gameplay and link players to battle and trade one another. Trainers also have access to a [[PC]]. Trainers can also buy items from the Poké Mart. The Poké Mart stocks rare items that can only be found in Indigo Plateau.

In Generation II, the layout of the ground floor is slightly modified, with the Cable Club and the Union Room relocated upstairs. The PC is now located in the middle of the room, while the Pokémon Center lady is located on the left of it, and the Poké Mart is located on the right of it. There is also an old man standing near the counter that will ask the player if they miss their [[Player's house#Johto|home]], and will use an {{p|Abra}} to {{m|Teleport}} the Trainer back to [[New Bark Town]]. He offers this because the Trainer cannot {{m|Fly}} to Johto from the Indigo Plateau. He will disappear after the player defeats the Elite Four and Champion for the first time.

In Generation III, the ground floor is similar to the ground floor in Generation I; however, the Cable Club and the Union Room are relocated upstairs. There are a couple of Trainers waiting or resting from training in {{ka|Victory Road}}.

[[File:Red Rematch Location LGPE.png|thumb|250px|Red's rematch location]]
In Generation IV, the ground floor is revamped with a regal red motif with stairs in the center covered in a red carpet. Like the Pokémon Centers in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the wireless facilities are located in the same room as the Pokémon Center lady, one flight of stairs above. To the right is the Poké Mart and the stairs to the Wi-Fi Club. The man with an Abra is still there, but he won't Teleport the player, saying that intimidated Trainers just Fly back home; in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can Fly to any Fly destination in either region from outside the building. To the right of the Abra man is a terminal where the player can compare records with other players that have been contacted wirelessly, similar to the rooms in [[Jubilife TV]].

In Generation VII, the ground floor is a big hall with a mainly golden color scheme, and houses no other features besides the Pokémon Center and the Poké Mart. Like in Generation IV, a red carpet is laid on the floor, stretching from the front door to the entrance to the [[Elite Four]]'s domain. On the west side of the hall is [[Move Reminder|Madame Memorial]], who can teach a Pokémon any of its level-up moves at the cost of one [[Heart Scale]] per taught move. Next to the Poké Mart counter is a {{tc|Super Nerd}}, who offers to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} for a Kantonian Exeggutor as many times as they like. After the player has defeated the Pokémon League, a {{tc|Poké Maniac}} appears in the hall, selling the player all the Kanto Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s for {{PDollar}}30,000 each, excluding the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} Mega Stones.

Once Trainers climb the first staircase, they will reach the first room, and upon entering the door will lock so they are unable to return. The door to the second room is also locked and the only way to open the door and progress through each room is to defeat the Elite Four member of that room.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Lorelei]] is in control of this room, thus is the first member of the Elite Four who must be defeated. In Generation II and IV, Will is the Elite Four member present.

In Generation I, the room is filled with [[water tile|water]], with a small bridge connecting the entrance to the battle area—the player can even {{m|Surf}} on it and [[fishing|fish]] in the water, although wild Pokémon can only be encountered by fishing. In Generation III, the room contains ice pillars instead, and does not have any water.

In [[Generation II]], the room is filled with a pool of ice, with a small bridge connecting the entrance to the battle area, where Will is standing.

In [[Generation III]], Lorelei's room is a plain room with six large statues of ice surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], the room has a purple tiled floor, with floating transparent cubes bobbing around the room, rising seemingly from a black pit. The shape of the room is reminiscent of Generation I.

In [[Generation VII]], Lorelei's room now sports an icy blue color scheme, with cold vapor floating in the air and six stylized ice pillars surrounding the battlefield. Lorelei herself is seen sitting on her {{p|Lapras}}, waiting for the next challenger to arrive.

The second room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. Like the room before it, the doors to other rooms will lock so Trainers are unable to return or advance forward.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Bruno]] is the owner of this room, and has designed it according to his {{type|Fighting}} specialties. The room is full of giant boulders that surround the battlefield, and a Pokémon statue in the corner.

In [[Generation II]], Bruno, the former owner of the room has been replaced by [[Koga]], the former [[Gym Leader]], still using his signature {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. The room has been redesigned and customized to meet the needs of his Poison Pokémon, which now has a grassy floor with many trees towering over the area.

In [[Generation III]], Bruno's room changes from the rocky environment it was to a plain room with six large statues of stone surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], Koga once again claims this room. The room is shaped much like his Generation II room. The floor is covered in grass, but this time Koga stands in the middle of a large rectangle of stone. The sides of the room show the shadows of trees. The stone and wall supports are adorned with moss.

In [[Generation VII]], Bruno's room sports a light brown color scheme, with six stylized stone pillars standing around the battlefield. A bright light is shining into the room, shining off the floor and walls.

The third room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. Like the room before it, the doors to other rooms will lock so Trainers are unable to return or advance forward.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Agatha]] is the owner of this room, and has designed it according to her own {{type|Ghost}} specialties. The room is full of giant gravestones that surround the battlefield. There are gravestones on both sides of the battling arena, and a Pokémon statue in the bottom left-hand corner.

In [[Generation II]], Agatha, the former owner of the room has been replaced by [[Bruno]], the former owner of the second room, who has been promoted and has now taken her place, still using his signature {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. The room has been redesigned and customized now with pools of lava bubbling left and right of the battle arena. There is a narrow bridge connected to the battling arena where Bruno stands waiting for battle.

In [[Generation III]], Agatha's room changes from the eerie environment with gravestones to a plain room with six large statues surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], Bruno has this room, and it once again is roughly the shape of his Generation II room. The pit is once again filled with lava, but two large tubs line the side of the room, giving it an industrial feel.

In [[Generation VII]], Agatha's room has a dark color scheme, with moss growing in between the purple floor tiles. The battlefield is surrounded by six dark, stylized pillars, each of them housing what seems like a {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}, giving off an eerie blue light.

The fourth room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. However, unlike the previous rooms before it, once a Trainer advances through the doors to the fourth room, they will automatically travel through the room to face off with the final Elite Four member. As such, it would be wise for Trainers to prepare for the final Elite Four member before they enter the fourth room. This will only happen in [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, however. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Trainer will advance to the fourth room normally.

In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, the room enters in a long, narrow pathway that curves around in a sideways 'S' shape. The pathway will end in with a battle arena where [[Lance]] will be standing. There are many Pokémon statues surrounding the battle arena, but these are moved to the pathway in [[Generation III]], and the main battle arena is surrounded by six large fang-shaped statues.

In [[Generation II]], [[Karen]] is the current owner of the fourth room, and it is like any other room within the Elite Four. The room has been redesigned and customized now with a deep, dark pit left and right of the battle arena. There is a narrow bridge connected to the batting arena where Karen stands waiting for battle.

In [[Generation IV]], Karen has this room again. The room is shaped like her old Generation II room. The pit, however, is now filled with blue crystals. The floor is purple with a star pattern and stage curtains are hung behind Karen, corresponding with the movie star look of Karen in this generation.

In [[Generation VII]], although the room is once again housed by Lance, there is no pathway leading up to it, unlike in the previous games where he owns the room. The room has turquoise floor tiles and golden walls. The six pillars standing around the battlefield have a dragon scale pattern on them and four declarations shaped like a dragon's fang at each of their bases. Lance, who is waiting for new challengers at the end of the room, is accompanied by his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} standing next to him.

Once a Trainer defeats the final member of the Elite Four, they will go on to the Champion's room. The current Champion awaits in his room for the final battle to unfold. Like the previous four rooms, the Champion's room will automatically direct the Trainer to the Champion.

In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the Champion is {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, who had become the {{pkmn|Champion}} just recently. The battlefield is a small room, with two entrances; one that leads from the fourth room, the other leads to the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Champion is [[Lance]], formerly the fourth Elite Four member, who continues to use {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The room has a long hall decorated with {{p|Dratini}} statues (regular statues in Gold and Silver) left and right of the path. At the end of the hall, the player reaches an elevated part of the room where Lance awaits. Behind him are double doors that lead to the Hall of Fame. In Generation IV, this room is gold-colored, with a red carpet going down the middle and moving gears on the walls.

===Hall of Fame===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Hall of Fame LGPE.png|thumb|250px|The Hall of Fame in Generation VII]]
{{main|Hall of Fame}}
Once the Champion is defeated, there is a great congratulations and the victor will be recorded in the Hall of Fame and made current Champion. The Hall of Fame is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the Pokémon Trainers who have ever defeated the Pokémon League. In the hallway to the Hall of Fame recording room, [[Professor Oak]] is present to congratulate the player. It is a fairly large room that only contains a large computer. The Hall of Fame will record the [[Trainer ID number|Trainer's ID number]], name, and [[party]]. For each Pokémon of the player's party, the [[Pokémon (species)|species]], name, [[gender]], [[level]], and area met are recorded; the gender is not recorded prior to Generation II and the area met is not recorded prior to Generation III.

After becoming Champion, the player returns home, rather than staying at the Pokémon League to fight challengers. Prior to [[Generation VII]], the previous Champion keeps his position. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, however, the player keeps the title of Champion, and {{ga|Trace}} challenges them to retake his title at the end of the gauntlet.

==Trainers==
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{ga|Silver}} can be {{pkmn|battle}}d here on {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}}s and {{DL|Days of the week|Wednesday}}s following the battle against him at [[Mt. Moon]] (as well as the [[Multi Battle]] against [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[Dragon's Den]] in Generation IV). Silver will appear to halt the {{player}} for a battle as they walk towards the steps to enter the Elite Four's domain.

In [[Generation VII]], the player can fight {{ga|Red}} outside the Pokémon League building if they have defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and have six Pokémon in their [[party]]. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player can't use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

==In the side series==
[[File:Gym Leader Elite Four Stadium.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Pokémon Stadium]]
[[File:Gym Leader Elite Four Stadium 2.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Pokémon Stadium 2]]
===Pokémon Stadium series===
{{main|Indigo Plateau/Stadium series}}
Fields based on those of the Indigo Plateau appear in [[Pokémon Stadium]]'s [[Gym Leader Castle]] and {{g|Stadium 2}}'s Johto Gym Leader Castle. Just like in the [[core series]] games, the player has to defeat all the Elite Four members in order to reach the Champion. In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games, after defeating the Champion and entering the Hall of Fame, the player earns a special reward.

====Pokémon Stadium====
In Pokémon Stadium, clearing Indigo Plateau earns the player a random [[gift Pokémon]] from eight different possibilities: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, or {{p|Kabuto}}.

When the {{ga|Blue|Rival}} is beaten in Round 1, the prize Pokémon will be holding a [[Normal Box]] if traded to [[Generation II]], which contains a [[Decoration#Trophies|Silver Trophy]]. When the Rival is beaten in Round 2, the prize Pokémon will be holding a [[Gorgeous Box]], which contains a [[Decoration#Trophies|Gold Trophy]].

====Pokémon Stadium 2====
In Pokémon Stadium 2, as a reward for clearing Indigo Plateau for the first time in each round, the player unlocks a new mode for the [[Game Boy Tower]]. Clearing Round 1 unlocks either a {{p|Doduo}} Sticker mode (if not all [[Stadium Cup]]s have been beaten) or a {{p|Dodrio}} Sticker mode (if all Stadium Cups have been beaten) in Game Boy Tower for the [[Generation I]] games; clearing Round 2 unlocks the same mode, but for the [[Generation II]] games. Furthermore, the player will be granted access to the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]].

Additionally, each time the player clears Indigo Plateau with a team that was not a preregistered team and that contained no rental Pokémon, they are given the opportunity to [[Move Reminder|reteach]] a move to one Pokémon from the victorious team.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Pinball]]===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Indigo Plateau appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
Artwork of various depictions of the Indigo Plateau is seen in the mindscapes of many Trainers associated with it, including the [[Elite Four]], {{mas|Lance}}, {{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Kris}}, {{mas|Lyra}}, and {{mas|Chase}}.

[[File:Indigo Plateau anime.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Indigo Plateau first appeared at the end of ''[[EP073|Bad To The Bone]]'', after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} left for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In the [[EP074|following episode]], Ash and the others helped to run the flame of {{p|Moltres}} to Indigo Stadium, and they officially reached Indigo Plateau. They stayed there until the end of the tournament in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

Indigo Plateau is also the home of Pokémon League Village, where Ash, his friends, and all the other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s stayed during the events of the League. In addition to houses for the Trainers to stay in, the Village also contains a [[Pokémon Center]], shops, and restaurants. All League participants dine for free here.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[Fennel Valley]], where the [[Battle Pyramid]] was located for a while, is located nearby.

From ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', Indigo Plateau hosted the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. {{an|May}} and her [[rival]]s [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]] joined the competition along with several other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s who successfully collected five {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s from the Kanto region. 270 contestants competed in the preliminary [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], which was held in two separate stadiums, but only 64 advanced to the main competition. In the end, Solidad emerged victorious, earning the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

To attend all of the Trainers who come to participate in these events, the local Pokémon Center is larger than most others in the region. It accommodates the Coordinators taking part in the Kanto Grand Festival and it has a dining hall where the party to mark the end of the competition is held.

[[File:Indigo Academy.png|thumb|250px|[[Indigo Academy]] in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Indigo Plateau is also the site of [[Indigo Academy]], a school for Pokémon Trainers. It hands out [[Pokédex]]es and [[first partner Pokémon]] to new students, such as [[Liko]] and [[Ann]], who started studying there in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. After Liko begun traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], she started to attend classes remotely. While she returned to the academy for a year following the events in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', she eventually resumed traveling alongside [[Roy]] in ''[[HZ091|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part Two)]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Indigo Plateau PO.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} arrived at Indigo Plateau in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where he challenged and defeated the Elite Four. Once he had defeated [[Lance]], he found out that he still had to battle the Champion, who turned out to be his rival, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After a hard-fought battle, Red emerged victorious, making him the new Champion and worthy of entering the Hall of Fame.

The battle arenas at the Indigo Plateau seem to have self-repairing systems, automatically fixing any possible damage caused to the arenas during battles.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Indigo Plateau PG.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Indigo Plateau first appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', where {{ga|Blue}} challenged and defeated the Elite Four. After claiming the title of Champion, {{ga|Red}} arrived to challenge him.

Indigo Plateau reappeared in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]'', where [[Looker]] and {{ga|Silver}} were seen talking about [[Giovanni]] outside of the Pokémon League building. After they had finished talking, Silver started walking towards the building, intending to challenge the Elite Four.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], every winner of the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League tournament has come from [[Pallet Town]].

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was revealed to have {{pkmn2|caught}} {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} at the Indigo Plateau.

In ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'' and ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', {{adv|Red}} took part in the ninth triennial Indigo League Tournament at the Indigo Plateau. {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, and a masked {{pkmn|Trainer}} called Dr. O also participated in the tournament and made it to the semi-finals, along with Red. Despite his success, Red was dismayed to find out that he and Blue were set up to face each other in the semi-finals instead of the finals.

In the first semi-final battle, Green was defeated by Dr. O, who turned out to be a disguised {{adv|Professor Oak}}, who had exploited his knowledge of Green's {{wp|ornithophobia}}, a result of her being kidnapped by {{p|Ho-Oh|a giant bird Pokémon}} as a toddler, to his advantage by using a {{p|Spearow}} against her. When Professor Oak asked why Green had stolen his [[Blasty|Squirtle]], Green revealed that, as a Pallet Town Trainer like Red and Blue, she had wanted to have the same privilege of owning a [[Pokédex]] and going on an adventure like they had. Professor Oak agreed to this on the condition that Green would not continue stealing things, making her a [[Pokédex holder]] as well.

After Professor Oak withdrew from the competition, having already won himself a championship years before, Red and Blue's semi-final battle was changed into the final battle of the tournament, much to Red's pleasure. Red eventually won the battle, making him a [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Their battle was observed by [[Elite Four#Indigo Elite Four|four shadowy figures]] from the edge of the stadium.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'', [[Agatha]] revealed that she had confronted Professor Oak in the finals of the first triennial Indigo League Tournament, with Oak having emerged victorious after a gruelling eight-hour battle.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
[[File:Indigo Plateau approach Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}]]
Starting from ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', the Indigo Plateau hosted an {{wp|Exhibition game|exhibition tournament}} between the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Johto]] and Kanto in order to reveal the identity of the [[Masked Man]]. For the event, the [[Magnet Train]] line was changed to travel through the Pokémon League in order to transport the Gym Leaders there.

The tournament was interrupted when [[Neo Team Rocket]] attacked the stadium by first having {{tc|Executive}}s [[Carl]] and [[Sham]] hack into its systems in ''[[PS164|Slick Slowking]]'', followed by the Gym Leaders being trapped inside the speeding Magnet Train while fighting Neo {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1]]'', after which the Masked Man himself showed up with {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} fought against the Masked Man, eventually joined by [[Misty]], {{adv|Blaine}}, and [[Lt. Surge]], whom the {{adv|Legendary beasts}} had chosen as their masters in preparation for this very moment. Despite being faced by multiple strong opponents, the Masked Man ultimately managed to get away with what he had wanted: the recipe for building the [[GS Ball]] from [[Kurt]], who had been in the audience.

In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', it was revealed that while the exhibition tournament had been interrupted, [[Clair]] had reported her defeat against Blaine aboard the Magnet Train, meaning that Kanto had won the tournament with four wins, three losses, and one draw. However, due to the damages the stadium had suffered, the actual Pokémon League tournament could not be conducted.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Indigo Plateau PM.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
{{PPM|Red}} arrived at the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PM033|To the Pokémon League!!]]'' in order to challenge the Elite Four, managing to defeat [[Lorelei]].

Red returned to the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]'' in order to challenge the Johto Elite Four.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Indigo Plateau EToP.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
Like in {{aniseries|OS}}, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] was held at the Indigo Plateau in this {{pkmn|manga}}, taking place in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' and ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]''. Although the manga was based on ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'', there were still several notable differences between the two, such as {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} entering the conference as well, and {{Gary}} being defeated by [[Ritchie]] instead of [[Melissa]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Zensho.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} went to the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'' to challenge the Elite Four. After defeating the Elite Four, he found out that his rival, {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, had already done that before him, having claimed the title of Pokémon League Champion for himself. After a tough battle between {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}} and Shigeru's {{p|Blastoise}}, Satoshi finally emerged victorious, making him the new Pokémon League Champion. [[Professor Oak]] then arrived to congratulate Satoshi of his victory and to tell him and Shigeru about {{p|Mewtwo}}, prompting the two young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to head to [[Cerulean Cave]] in order to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.
{{-}}

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
[[File:Indigo Plateau JBA.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]]]
The Indigo Plateau appeared in ''[[JBA5|Betting on the Name of the Strongest!]]'', where [[Jō]] defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Lance]] with his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}}. Afterwards, he learned about [[Kanto]] and decided to challenge its [[Gym]]s.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] only, the player will be unable to defeat [[Agatha]] and reach the [[Hall of Fame]] if there are no available moves (with [[PP]] remaining) that can damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, either directly or indirectly such as via {{status|confusion}}. This is due to the fact that in this generation, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Struggle}} (being a {{type|Normal}} move) and all opposing Pokémon have infinite PP. This applies to battles against the {{tc|Channeler}}s in the [[Pokémon Tower]] as well.
** See more details in [[Pokémon Tower#Trivia|Pokémon Tower → Trivia]].
* In all of the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} in which Indigo Plateau appears, the first member of the [[Elite Four]] uses both a {{p|Slowbro}} and a {{p|Jynx}} in {{pkmn|battle}}.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is the only [[Pokémon League]] where the rooms of the different Elite Four members do not all share the same [[list of overworld music themes|background music]].
** [[Lorelei]]'s room shares its background music with [[Gym]]s, [[Bruno]]'s with the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], [[Agatha]]'s with the [[Pokémon Tower]], and [[Lance]]'s with the rest of Indigo Plateau.
** In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the lobby of Indigo Plateau also shares its background music with Gyms.
* In the [[Generation I]] games, due to an oversight, [[wild Pokémon]] can be found by [[fishing]] in Lorelei's room.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Indigo Plateau and {{rt|26|Kanto}} are the only locations that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} to from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Indigo Plateau is located significantly further south than in any of its other appearances, being located to the southwest of [[Pewter City]] rather than to the northwest.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Indigo Plateau appears as a backdrop in the [[Alola Photo Club]], if the player has a Pokémon who originated from either a [[Generation I]] game or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The name of Exemann, a character in {{LGPE}}, is a reference to the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' antagonist, [https://info.sonicretro.org/Dr._Eggman Dr. Eggman].

'''Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター''' ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'') is the second and final arc of {{aniseries|JN}} that aired on [[TV Tokyo]] from January 13, 2023 to March 24, 2023. It is preceded by the main ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' arc and followed by ''[[Liko and Roy's Departure]]'' from ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', the next mainline animated series.

This chapter serves as the final story arc featuring {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, depicting their return to [[Kanto]] and reunion with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} for one last adventure together. After winning the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], Ash contemplates what it truly means to be a [[Pokémon Master]]. The arc concludes Ash's nearly 26-year journey that began in 1997, providing closure to his story and reaffirming his dream.

The arc's opening theme, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master -with my friends-|Aim to Be a Pokémon Master ''-with my friends-'']], is a new arrangement of the original 1997 opening, [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]], created to commemorate the series's 25th anniversary. The arc features two ending themes from the [[original series]]: [[One Hundred Fifty-One]] for the first ten episodes and [[Type: Wild]] for the finale. The English dub was released on Netflix on September 8, 2023, with the opening theme {{so|Gotta Catch Em All}} (a new arrangement of the original [[Pokémon Theme]]), and includes ''[[JNS05|Distant Blue Sky!]]'' as the 12th and final episode of the arc.
{{spoilers}}

==Plot==
After becoming the World Champion, {{Ash}} begins rotating his [[Party|team]] and encounters a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{an|Latias}} that starts following him. He reunites with {{an|Misty}}, who has left the [[Cerulean Gym]] in her [[Sensational Sisters|sisters]]' care to embark on a new {{pkmn|journey}}. The two travel together, with Misty {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} after a battle with Ash. They soon reunite with {{an|Brock}} in [[Galar]], where they also encounter {{an|Cilan}} before he returns to [[Unova]]. Brock rejoins {{ashfr|the group}}, reforming the original trio.

During their travels through Kanto, Ash reunites with several of his previously [[released Pokémon]], including his {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Lapras}}, and ultimately his {{AP|Pidgeot}}. {{an|Latias}} reveals a vision of a {{p|Latios}} in danger, leading Ash and his friends to rescue it from a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}. After Latias departs with Latios, Ash decides to return to [[Pallet Town]].

Back in Pallet Town, Ash reunites with {{Tracey}} and meets his rival {{Gary}} again. Gary questions whether becoming Champion has brought Ash closer to being a Pokémon Master, prompting Ash to reflect on his true goal. In the final episode, "[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]," Ash defines what being a Pokémon Master means to him: becoming friends with all the Pokémon in the world. He declares that becoming Champion wasn't the end goal—he's still a challenger. After reuniting with Pidgeot, which rejoins his team, Ash reaffirms his dream and leaves Pallet Town to continue his journey, with Pikachu by his side.

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a highly accomplished {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{pkmn|Coordinator}} who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], awarding the {{Badge|Rain}} to those who defeat him. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn League|Pokémon League]] and gives the Gym back to [[Juan]], his former instructor.

Wallace also excels in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, can be encountered in [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty Contests]]. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''' ''Citizen of {{tt|Rune|Sootopolis}}'') and the only character in the {{pkmn|animated series}} to be referred to as a '''Contest Master''' (Japanese: '''コンテストマスター''' ''Contest Master'').

==In the core series games==
[[File:Wallace ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player]]
[[File:Wallace Sky Pillar ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Wallace challenging the player at Sky Pillar]]

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, Wallace runs the [[Sootopolis Gym]]. After being defeated, he gives out the {{badge|Rain}}, as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Wallace is first encountered at the [[Cave of Origin]], where he guides the {{player}} to the [[Sky Pillar]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}}. Once the player reaches Sky Pillar, Wallace will have opened its locked entrance, allowing the player to enter the tower. After Rayquaza has stopped the battle between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, Wallace will give the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and let them enter the Sootopolis Gym, which is now led by his mentor, [[Juan]]. At the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Wallace is revealed to have replaced {{Steven}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, with Steven being available to battle as a regular [[Pokémon Trainer]] during the post-game at [[Meteor Falls]].

In {{B2W2}}, Wallace participates in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], joining Steven in representing Hoenn in the [[Champions Tournament]].

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest]] Spectaculars. The player may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the Pokémon League's [[Hall of Fame]]. During the [[Delta Episode]], Wallace is revealed to be a descendant of the ancient people of Sootopolis, making him one of the few people capable of opening the sealed entrance to the Sky Pillar. Before the player enters the tower to pursue [[Zinnia]], Wallace battles them with his Champion [[party|team]] from Emerald. At the end of the Delta Episode, Steven requests Wallace to take his place as Champion when he someday leaves it to travel the world, which Wallace accepts.

[[File:Wallace Contest Outfit.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace's stage clothing]]
Wallace debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', being introduced as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master, a former {{gy|Sootopolis}} [[Gym Leader]], and the current [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. He was first seen on the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' [[television]] program when {{si|Rhonda}} advertised the [[Wallace Cup]] taking place on the shores of [[Lake Valor]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were looking for Wallace and found him relaxing near a lake with his {{p|Milotic}}. Even though Wallace had his day off from his busy schedule, he allowed the group to stay. Wallace had {{an|Dawn}} show off her Contest moves to him. She did so by having a practice [[Contest Battle]] with Ash. He praised the two for their match while {{an|Brock}} explained that {{AP|Buizel}} used to belong to Dawn and he was [[trade]]d to Ash in exchange for {{AP|Aipom}}. After watching Ash and Dawn's practice match against each other, he asked Ash to enter the Wallace Cup with his Buizel.

{{TRT}} subsequently showed up in [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]]. Despite having more company, Wallace did a practice [[appeal]] with his Milotic for them to prove what relaxing and playing with Pokémon can do during his time off. When Milotic finished with {{m|Twister}}, Wallace left in a wave formed by the appeal. Wallace was later seen on TV, being interviewed by [[Marian]].

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', during the beginning of the Wallace Cup, Wallace made a speech on stage and held out the audience and participants the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}. He concluded the speech by having Milotic perform as part of his appearance. He then acted as a [[Contest Judge]] for the Performance Stage.

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Wallace welcomed back the participants as the Wallace Cup was resumed. He judged the battles of the Battle Stage, including the one with Ash and {{si|Kyle}}.

Wallace continued acting as a judge for the Battle Stage in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]''. When {{an|May}} and Dawn were in the finals and were about to begin their battle, Wallace gave some encouraging words to the two. After Dawn was able to defeat May and win the Contest, Wallace awarded Dawn the Aqua Ribbon. Wallace then closed the Wallace Cup by having Milotic use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the air.

It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the outfit he wore in the Top Coordinator Carnival was designed by the renowned [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]]. The outfit is currently on display at Lila's fashion store in [[Celestic Town]], next to a signed photo of Wallace.

In [[DPS01]], Wallace made a cameo in a fantasy when Dawn told [[Johanna]] that she was planning to travel to [[Hoenn]] since it is Wallace's home region, as well as the place where Pokémon Contests originated.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Wallace made another cameo in a fantasy, when Dawn revealed that she would soon leave [[Unova]] and head to [[Johto]] to compete in the Wallace Cup once again. When Dawn was taking the plane to [[Blackthorn City]], {{an|Cynthia}} told her to send Wallace her regards.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
While Wallace does not appear in {{aniseries|XY}}, in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was mentioned to be Hoenn's current Champion, meaning that Wallace had lost the title sometime earlier.
{{-}}

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Wallace JN.png|thumb|250px|Wallace in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Wallace reappeared in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', now sporting his {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} outfit and having returned to serving as the {{ci|Sootopolis}} Gym Leader. During a Pokémon Contest Spectacular in [[Lilycove City]], where Wallace's niece [[Lisia]] was competing, he encountered Ash and [[Goh]] as they were going to watch [[Chloe]]'s performance, but Wallace, having heard of Ash's success in the [[World Coronation Series]], demanded to have a {{pkmn|battle}} with him, which he accepted. At first, Ash had trouble remembering who Wallace was, much to Wallace's irritation, but eventually he remembered him once Wallace mentioned the Wallace Cup. The battle between them ended in Ash's victory, for which Wallace rewarded him with a {{badge|Rain}} and his scarf, wanting to make sure that Ash wouldn't forget this encounter with him.

====Character====
[[File:Wallace press conference.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace holding a press conference]]
Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Wallace was said to be the former [[Sootopolis City]] [[Gym Leader]] who eventually moved up to the position of [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, meaning that Wallace had lost his title and returned to being a Gym Leader sometime before. Wallace is also an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] after winning the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] with his {{p|Milotic}}. For his achievements in the [[Pokémon Contest]] world, he was labeled as a Contest Master and has been described as the pride and joy of every Coordinator.

Wallace regularly travels to promote the competition bearing his name, the {{cat|Multiregional competitions|multiregional}} [[Wallace Cup]], and thus has a tight schedule. He often makes appearances in talk shows and other {{cat|Pokémon world media|media outlets}}, such as [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]] and [[radio]]. Nonetheless, he will reserve time to spend with his Pokémon, as he greatly values the [[Friendship|bond]] between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
[[File:Lisia Wallace Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Wallace and Lisia]]
Due to his accomplishments, Wallace attained celebrity status and amassed a strong fan following. His fans will wait for him outside hotels and wear caps similar to the one he wears. Despite this, Wallace is shown to be a humble and modest person who likes his privacy. However, he will still treat others kindly if they happen to encounter him when he is not working.

In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', he revealed a more narcissistic, flamboyant, and exaggerated side of himself. He took mild offense towards Ash not remembering him since their meeting from the Wallace Cup, while Ash did remember Steven. He then persistently insisted Ash to battle him, despite the fact both him and Goh had to go to watch Chloe's Contest Spectacular, a battle that took so long the Contest ended before they could go there. On top of that, Wallace went in a long, convoluted speech and showered Ash with rewards so that he would remember their battle.

Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

It appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''.

It appeared again in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', where it was used in a battle against Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Milotic is eventually defeated by Pikachu, securing Ash's victory in the battle.

===GOTCHA!===
Wallace briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
=====Past=====
He and Winona had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, Juan. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was opposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than her constantly around to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Wallace first showed up when [[Flannery]] called all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace was forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders began taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sided with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion ended, Wallace talked to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace revealed that he was heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participated in a Pokémon Contest. He managed to win easily, which gained the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenged Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby was defeated, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refused but changed his mind after seeing how strong Ruby was and finding out that he was the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.
[[File:Wallace appeal Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Wallace in an appeal with his Pokémon]]
When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the [[Magma Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Three Fires]] of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and [[Courtney]]. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and take each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieve the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

[[File:Tate Liza Juan Wallace ORAS Adventures.png|thumb|right|170px|Wallace in the thirteenth chapter]]
Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and held her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

====={{MangaArc|Emerald}}=====
Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Wallace, along with the Hoenn Gym Leaders and Elite Four, is called to Sootopolis City to assist in stopping a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy the planet.

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only:
** {{pkmn|Champion}} to have made his {{pkmn|animated series}} debut outside of his home [[region]].
** [[Gym Leader]] to hand out a [[HM|Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him.
** {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname]] their Pokémon.
** Current Champion to specialize in a type that is neither {{t|Dragon}} nor {{t|Steel}}, and the only Champion to exclusively use Pokémon of his type specialty.
** [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader to not have appeared in their original design in {{aniseries|PTS}}, having only appeared in his {{game|Emerald||Emerald}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} designs.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by [[Juan]] against {{Ash}} in {{aniseries|RS}}.
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during, and after the {{player}}'s {{pkmn|battle}} with him in Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the [[Delta Episode]], he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the same levels.
** Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion at some time to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, [[List of cross-generational references|referencing]] their roles in Emerald.

==Plot==
As five of the [[Six Heroes]] go berserk [[HZ110|a second time]] due to the [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]s, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] prepare to face them again. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' remaining Pokémon try to hold out against the rampaging Six Heroes while their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s look for an opening. However, Ult is left in despair by the situation such that he didn't notice {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}} coming his way until [[Captain Pikachu]], who was protecting Ult, and {{p|Sableye}}, who was in the [[Paradox Pokémon]]'s attack range, are defeated by it. The other Pokémon soon are [[Fainting|defeated]] one by one, leaving only {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and {{p|Dragonite|Mega Dragonite}} still standing. The kids recall their defeated Pokémon as they brace themselves for the next onslaught of attacks. Just then, a {{m|Thousand Arrows}} attack falls from the sky as [[Amethio]] arrives on {{p|Corviknight}} with the [[White Zygarde]] in its {{form|Zygarde|10% Forme}} in tow. [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who had been watching the {{pkmn|battle}}, decide to take on Amethio. He entrusts the battle against {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Garganacl}}, both powered up by [[Laquium]], to Corviknight and Zygarde while calling out {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to assist with the Six Heroes.
[[File:Liko Charcadet and Amethio Ceruledge.png|thumb|250px|left|Ceruledge giving Charcadet a boost]]
Liko asks Amethio to have Ceruledge give Charcadet some power. Realizing her intent, Amethio calls for Ceruledge to use {{m|Bitter Blade}} on Charcadet, triggering its {{a|Flash Fire}} [[Ability]]. Roy decides to have Lucario power up as well, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] the {{pkmn|category|Aura Pokémon}} into Mega Lucario. Liko initiates the counterattack by having Charcadet attack {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Fire Spin}} to [[Bound|immobilize]] it. Charcadet momentarily celebrates its victory before getting caught off-guard by {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}}. Ceruledge saves it with Bitter Blade before taking Kleavor head-on. Gouging Fire approaches Charcadet, making the latter panic until Liko reminds the Fire Child Pokémon of [[HZ108|its battle with]] {{p|Arcanine}}. Charcadet unleashes a barrage of {{m|Ember}}s before running away until Liko commands it to jump, clinging onto Gouging Fire like it did with Arcanine. In an attempt to get Charcadet off, Gouging Fire uses {{m|Burning Bulwark}}, but it only activates Charcadet's Ability once more and allows it to use a powered-up Ember against the Paradox Pokémon. Meanwhile, Ult struggles to help Mega Dragonite as {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} is catching up. Roy remembers [[HZ092|the battle against]] {{p|Steelix}} and has Ult get Mega Dragonite to fly to Mega Lucario, who is facing {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}. Mega Dragonite does as ordered, and at the last second, both Mega Pokémon launch themselves into the air, causing Moltres and Lapras to collide with each other. The two Mega Pokémon prepare to attack, but they get attacked by Arboliva, who manages to free itself from Charcadet's Fire Spin. Charcadet gets trampled by Gouging Fire while Kleavor takes down Ceruledge. Corviknight and Zygarde are also defeated by Glalie and Garganacl, rendering Liko and the others hopeless as all of their Pokémon have been defeated. Out of desperation, an despaired Liko begging the Six Heroes to stop. To her surprise, they do. Right after that, the Laquium crystals on the bodies of the Six Heroes break off while the Pokémon themselves collapse from exhaustion as the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wear off. [[Spinel]] is satisfied with the results of the battle and orders the [[Explorers]] to retreat, leaving Liko's group watching helplessly as the Six Heroes get taken away.

[[Dot]] arrives at the warehouse, with Liko and Roy being surprised to see {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}, while [[Hamber]] and [[Cervantis]] react similarly to Amethio. While Liko, Roy, and Ult tend to their Pokémon, Amethio discusses the event that just transpired with the newcomers. He also apologizes for not having enough strength to help, but Dot thanks him for coming. Cervantis approaches Liko and Roy to apologize for the trouble caused. The two young Rising Volt Tacklers reveal their reason for visiting as Dot gives the former director a flash drive containing data on the harmful effects of the Strong Spheres, but Cervantis says Spinel could counter with his own data and claim they’re safe. Cervantis begins to apologize again for not being able to help when Amethio lashes out at him angrily, asking if he is really going to let things be. He refuses to let his father run away again and reveals he once gave up too until [[HZ104|he was reminded]] to follow his path. When asked about his path, Amethio answers that it's to defeat Spinel and rid the world of Laquium after gathering the [[Zygarde Cell]]s of [[Gibeon|his grandfather]]'s Zygarde. As for what comes after, it's something he'll discover along the way, leaving Cervantis properly chastised. Cervantis becomes motivated to fight back and asks to help, making his son pleased. The two reconcile with a handshake before Amethio tells the Rising Volt Tacklers they will meet again as long as their goals are the same.
[[File:Liko and Charcadet.png|thumb|250px|Liko and Charcadet ready to train]]
Liko, Roy, and Dot watch Amethio, Cervantis, and Hamber leave before deciding to return to the [[Brave Olivine]]. However, Ult announces he's not going back. Instead, he wants to train after experiencing a frustrating defeat by the Six Heroes. Charcadet and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} come out of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, sharing his determination. Liko proposes they all train together since they all feel the same way, but none of them knows where to start. Just then, the group receives a call from [[Briar]], who is excited as [[Briar's Book|her book]] is ready to be published. When she finds out they wanted to ask her about Pagogo, Briar invites the group to [[Blueberry Academy]]. Dot notes its battle-focused curriculum, and the group decides to go train there while meeting with Briar. Meanwhile, in a room with the five captured Six Heroes, Spinel declares it's time for the next stage now that he believes Pagogo is no longer a threat.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Picking up from where the [[HZ109|last episode]] ended, [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] are confronted by [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], who reveal [[Cervantis]] is not present and that the message Liko received is actually a trap. Three trucks park in front of the new arrivals and open to reveal the five captured [[Six Heroes]] in their cages. The cages open as the [[Explorers]] bring out a variant of their [[Strong Sphere]]s, called Super Strong Spheres, and use it on the Six Heroes. [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] arrive to observe the extent of the Super Strong Spheres, which apparently draws out the power of [[Laquium]] to its full potential, while the kids are forced to {{pkmn|battle}} the Six Heroes to free them.

{{TP|Lucius|Lapras}} uses {{m|Mist}} to allow {{TP|Lucius|Kleavor}} to attack Ult's {{p|Sableye}} while they couldn't see through the mist. Sableye struggles to get up while {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} attacks it, but [[Captain Pikachu]] manages to rescue the {{pkmn|category|Darkness Pokémon}}. Roy calls out {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} to have {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} ride on it and deal with {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} by shooting {{m|Flamethrower}} and sending it to the ground. {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} blocks Kleavor's attacks as her {{pkmn|Trainer}} calls out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} to help. Before Hattrem could do anything, Lapras sends out a {{m|Hydro Pump}} towards her, causing Liko to send in [[Pagogo]], who has {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, with {{m|Protect}}. The Transport Pokémon uses Mist again to conceal Kleavor, so Hattrem uses her power to sense Kleavor and navigate Meowscarada into dodging efficiently. Ult commands Sableye to use {{m|Throat Chop}} on {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}, but it gets {{status|Burn|burned}} by the [[Paradox Pokémon]]'s {{m|Burning Bulwark}}. Sableye manages to get rid of the burn as it uses {{m|Power Gem}}, which didn't deal notable [[damage]]. Gouging Fire prepares to take on Sableye, but Cap diverts its attention to himself as Ult becomes horrified at the strength of the Six Heroes.

Meanwhile, [[Dot]] meets [[Hamber]], who requests her assistance to save Cervantis. The two rush to the building where the former director is being held but are confronted by [[Chalce]]. She manages to get Hamber to stand down with some manipulation, resulting in Dot choosing to battle Chalce instead. Chalce uses her Strong Sphere on {{p|Medicham}} before it faces off against {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}. Tinkaton attacks Medicham with {{m|Metal Claw}} and a few {{m|Brutal Swing}}s, but Medicham manages to evade all of it and counterattack. As such, the Hammer Pokémon uses anything she could find on the field to make a smokescreen in hopes of landing a surprise attack. However, Medicham not only breaks the tree trunk Tinkaton sent with her hammer, but also retaliates with its own attack. Nonetheless, Tinkaton refuses to give up, leading to Dot telling Tinkaton to focus her power into her hammer in order to overcome the Meditate Pokémon. Dot succeeds in buying enough time for Tinkaton to power her hammer and allowing the Hammer Pokémon to learn {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}, which [[Fainting|defeats]] Medicham in one hit. Chalce retreats using {{p|Xatu}}, and Dot and Hamber continue making their way to Cervantis.

Back at the warehouse, Liko, Roy, and Ult are still struggling against the powered-up Six Heroes as Coral and Sidian observe. Liko remembers what [[Diana|her grandmother]] [[HZ108|said about Pagogo]] and asks Roy and Ult to help buy time for Pagogo. The three of them bring out {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}, with Liko and Roy {{Tera}}stallizing Meowscarada and Crocalor and Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Dragonite into Mega Dragonite. Crocalor sends Flamethrower to Arboliva while Kilowattrel attacks Galarian Moltres with {{m|Electro Ball}}, sending both Six Heroes to the ground. Meowscarada and Lucario deal with Kleavor while Mega Dragonite and Cap handle Gouging Fire. Charcadet uses {{m|Ember}}, which is manipulated by Hattrem's {{m|Confusion}}, to attack Lapras and save Pagogo. Once free from using Protect, Pagogo immediately purifies the Six Heroes from the influence of the Super Strong Spheres. [[Spinel]], who has been observing through his {{p|Beheeyem}}, determines Pagogo to be a threat to his plans and orders the defeat of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. As Dot and Hamber successfully rescue Cervantis, the Explorers on-site use the Super Strong Spheres on the Six Heroes once more. Kleavor knocks out Hattrem and Pagogo, making Liko, Roy, and Ult worried about the second round against the Six Heroes since Pagogo is too weakened to help.

==Major events==

* The [[Explorers]] use [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Spheres]] on five of the [[Six Heroes]] to turn them against the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].
* [[Dot]] meets [[Hamber]] and [[Cervantis]] for the first time.
* [[Dot's Tinkaton]] learns {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}.
* Dot has a {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Chalce]] and wins.

==Plot==
On the [[Brave Olivine]], the younger members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] listen to the [[Explorers]] admins [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]] promoting the [[Strong Sphere]]s to an enthusiastic audience from [[Ult]]'s [[Rotom Phone]]. Just then, [[Liko]] receives a message from [[Cervantis]], who agrees to a meeting and asks to meet the group at an [[Exceed]] warehouse. With hope that he could help them with the Strong Spheres and the [[Six Heroes]], [[Roy]] declares they'll leave once [[Murdock]] and [[Mollie]] return. [[Dot]] returns to her room to update the intel they have on the Strong Spheres despite {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} wanting her and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} to collect [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. Unhappy, Gimmighoul leaves the room and goes to the top of the airship where it sees {{p|Tinkatuff}} looking for iron for her hammer in a scrapyard. The {{pkmn|category|Coin Chest Pokémon}} joins her and finds coins on its own while Tinkatuff finds a piece of iron that satisfies her. When Gimmighoul gets intimidated by a {{p|Scrafty}}, Tinkatuff steps in and protects Gimmighoul. However, when she returns to the iron she was working on, she sees it is taken by the workers, making the Coin Chest Pokémon feel guilty as everyone goes back to the Brave Olivine for takeoff.

Meanwhile, Coral and Sidian are wandering around town separately for their own leisure until they get surrounded by their fans. Fortunately, they get saved by a woman who reveals she's their {{OBP|manager|HZ109}} while she brings them to a [[Flying Taxi]]. The [[Cabbie]] initially refuses to bring them to their destination of [[Paldea]] due to it being the home of {{p|Corviknight}}'s {{p|Tinkaton|predators}} until he notices Coral, making him more willing to do as requested. Back at the Brave Olivine, as the Rising Volt Tacklers travel to their own destination, a depressed Tinkatuff looks over the road they're traveling and brightens up when she spots the iron she lost. Without hesitation, the Hammer Pokémon jumps off the airship and lands on the back of the truck carrying the iron. When the truck stops, Tinkatuff momentarily gets distracted by a group of {{p|Skwovet}} and {{p|Greedent}} before realizing she's lost. Dot notices Tinkatuff's disappearance and tells her friends to go on first while she and Murdock look for the Hammer Pokémon. At the same time, Tinkatuff witnesses a Corviknight flying above her and becomes enamored with its feathers. The Hammer Pokémon successfully hits the Raven Pokémon with a rock and chases after it as the Flying Taxi crashes. Dot and her remaining Pokémon also see the falling Flying Taxi and make their own pursuit. Coral and Sidian exit the taxi to see Tinkatuff grabbing Corviknight's feathers just as Dot arrives, also surprised to see the two Explorers. Meanwhile, the Cabbie and his Corviknight flee from the scene, fearful of Tinkatuff. Coral questions Dot's presence, causing the latter to realize the message Liko received is a trap, before deciding to have a {{pkmn|battle}} to fulfill her urge to battle.
[[File:Tinkaton and Gimmighoul.png|thumb|left|250px|Tinkaton giving Gimmighoul its coins back]]
Despite Sidian's attempt to stop Coral from battling, she does so anyway by having her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Ice Spinner}} that is kicked back by Quaxwell's {{m|Liquidation}}. Sidian calls out his {{p|Garganacl}} to assist in the battle, causing Quaxwell to face two Pokémon alone while Dot helps Tinkatuff with her hammer. However, the Explorers quickly overwhelm Quaxwell, leading to Gimmighoul taking Quaxwell's place to protect Tinkatuff. Gimmighoul attempts to use {{m|Astonish}} on Glalie, but it has little effect. Glalie manages to overpower Gimmighoul, who loses some of its coins near a feather. Choosing between the coins and the feather, Gimmighoul struggles to carry itself to the feather before lifting it to pass on to Tinkatuff, who accepts it. Eventually, her new hammer is completed, but it is also too heavy to carry even with the assistance of her {{pkmn|Trainer}} and friends. Before Coral could have Glalie finish the group off, Tinkatuff successfully lifts the hammer, allowing her to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}. Tinkaton ends the battle by sending Glalie flying with a {{m|Brutal Swing}} when the latter charges in with an Ice Spinner, causing the two admins to run after Glalie. As Dot congratulates Tinkaton on her Evolution, she remembers that she needed to inform her friends of the trap. Unbeknowest to her, Liko and Roy are already at the warehouse, [[HZ110|facing off against]] [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Liko]] and [[Roy]] are waiting for someone as the former received a message from [[Lucca|her mother]] to do so. [[Dot]], after gathering a lot of [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} for {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}}, joins her friends just as the trio hear the sound of an engine from somewhere. Turning to the source of the sound, the trio are pleasantly surprised to see [[Diana]] arriving in an automobile with a {{p|Revavroom}} attached. Diana reveals during her adventures, she had {{pkmn2|caught}} other Pokémon and met people, including [[Hamber]], whose [[HZ107|gratitude to Liko]] [[HZ104|for her help with]] [[Amethio]] is passed on along with the agreement to provide information from within the [[Explorers]].
[[File:Diana and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Ult meeting Diana]]
The group heads to the observation deck where [[Ult]] manages to hit it off with Diana, who decides to get straight to the point of her visit. She [[HZ089|summarizes the events on]] [[Laqua]] based on what she heard from her granddaughter while the others inform her of the devices that uses the [[Laquium]], [[Strong Sphere]]s. Since taking on [[Exceed]] is difficult, Diana proposes they completely eradicate the Laquium with [[Pagogo]] once more. She points out a certain illustration of {{p|Terapagos}} in the [[Scarlet Book]] she brought, revealing the name of its unknown third form to be the {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, and theorizes Pagogo didn't have enough power to eradicate the Laquium both times when it was with [[Lucius]] and Liko. However, the context of power is not the strength of the [[Six Heroes]] but rather the number of Pokémon providing power to Pagogo. With references to Pagogo's Stellar Form and research materials, Diana speculates if Pagogo is able to resonate with Pokémon of each of the eighteen [[type]]s, then perhaps the Laquium could fully be eradicated for good. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee her theory would work, so Liko, Roy, and Dot decide to call [[Briar]] for her input, only to have the call cut off shortly due to the teacher's urgent need to finish her book before her fast approaching deadline. Leaving Briar to call them once she's finished her book, Diana suggests they gather the Six Heroes again. While they know the [[Black Rayquaza]] is resting, Liko's grandmother reveals the Explorers have the remaining Six Heroes in their possession. Ult asks about two of the Six Heroes, and when they confirmed it's [[Lucius's Kleavor]] and [[Lucius's Lapras|Lapras]], he divulges he saw them in [[Explorers base|the base]] when he was captured. Roy quickly reassures his frustrated friend by saying they at least have some new information to work on, and everyone decides to get back the Six Heroes from the Explorers.

Just then, they hear an explosion and went to the wing deck to see {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} having a {{pkmn|battle}} with [[Captain Pikachu]] as the [[Battle judge|referee]]. Crocalor uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to counter Charcadet's {{m|Ember}}, only for the latter to take no [[damage]] power up due to its [[Ability]], {{a|Flash Fire}}. Charcadet almost unleashes a powered-up Ember when Cap ends the battle. Upon seeing the look in Charcadet's eyes, Diana proposes a training session for the {{pkmn|category|Fire Child Pokémon}}. In a more open area for their [[Double Battle]], Liko is ready with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and Charcadet while Diana has her {{p|Arcanine}} out. Initially assuming she would battle with Revavroom, Diana instead calls out {{form|Rotom|Wash Rotom}}. Cap declares the start of the battle, and Liko has Meowscarada attack Wash Rotom with {{m|Flower Trick}} and Charcadet attack Arcanine with {{m|Clear Smog}}. Arcanine retreats to the back, allowing Wash Rotom to block both attacks with {{m|Discharge}}. Charcadet protects Meowscarada from Arcanine's Flamethrower, allowing it power up once more. Its Ember gets dissipated by Wash Rotom's {{m|Hydro Pump}} and the Plasma Pokémon sprays water everywhere, but it ends up getting hit by Meowscarada's {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} Flower Trick. Charcadet prepares a Clear Smog, but a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from Arcanine makes the Fire Child Pokémon step in and protect Meowscarada. However, Diana anticipated this and has Wash Rotom use Hydro Pump on Charcadet, making Liko order Meowscarada to save Charcadet and leaving herself open to the supereffective attack which knocks her out of the battle.

Diana pauses the battle by approaching Charcadet and advises it to begin trusting its team members in order to protect better. Meowscarada also interacts with Charcadet, and with renewed vigor, the latter is ready to resume the battle. Arcanine rushes to Charcadet with {{m|Extreme Speed}}, only for Charcadet to jump onto the Legendary Pokémon and blind it. After using Clear Smog to envelop Arcanine, the Fire Child Pokémon then evades Wash Rotom's Hydro Pump while getting close to it, managing to grab the hose and swing the Pokémon around. When it lets go, Liko has Charcadet use {{m|Take Down}}, successfully [[Fainting|knocking out]] Wash Rotom and leaving only Arcanine to defeat. Arcanine attacks with Flamethrower, and Charcadet takes it to power up. Liko calls for a lot of Embers, but it changes into {{m|Fire Spin}} which traps Arcanine. It escapes the ring of fire with Extreme Speed and defeats Charcadet, making Diana the winner of the battle. After the battle, Liko asks her grandmother if she had Arcanine use Flamethrower intentionally, but she says it was all on Liko for helping Charcadet learn Fire Spin.

During her welcome back party, Diana announces her departure from the [[Brave Olivine]] and promises to return next time. While deciding their next move to be looking for the Six Heroes, Dot asks if Hamber gave any insight on their location. Diana reveals while he couldn't give the exact location due to being spied on by [[Chalce]], he suspected they're in one of the Exceed buildings. At the mention of Exceed, Liko suggests they ask Amethio's father, [[Cervantis]], since he was the former director and would probably have an idea. With no objections to the idea, the night continues as Liko vows to make sure the Six Heroes return safely.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] reunite with [[Diana]], while [[Ult]] meets her for the first time.
* The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] find out through Diana that [[Spinel]] is holding the remaining [[Six Heroes]] captive in one of [[Exceed]]'s buildings.
* [[Liko's Charcadet]] is revealed to know {{m|Take Down}} and learns {{m|Fire Spin}}.
* Liko has a [[Double Battle]] with Diana and loses.
* The Rising Volt Tacklers decide to find [[Cervantis]] to gather more information about the Six Heroes' whereabouts.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
[[Diana]] and [[Hamber]] are walking side by side in a forest after the latter helped the former {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Pecharunt|a new Pokémon}}. At a crossroad, Hamber prepares to return to the [[Explorers]] to finish his business despite Diana suggesting he leave. He gives Diana information about [[Spinel]] and the [[Six Heroes]] as repayment for [[Liko]]'s [[HZ104|help with]] [[Amethio]]. Musing how he never expected to ally with his old friend once more, both Hamber and Diana agree the ones who are essential for Spinel's downfall are the ones who inherited [[Gibeon]]'s and [[Lucius]]'s wills — Amethio and Liko. After declaring he will not lose his way again and that the feud shall end, Hamber parts ways with Diana amicably.

Meanwhile, [[Ult]] loses the two Explorers [[HZ106|he was chasing]] until {{p|Sableye}} senses something. Following his Pokémon, Ult finds [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] entering an [[Explorers base]] and follow them inside, witnessing them interacting with Spinel. Unfortunately, they get caught by Spinel's {{p|Beheeyem}}. Before Ult can initiate a {{pkmn|battle}}, an oppressive force sends him and Sableye to the ground as the three Explorers approach them. Spinel figures Ult is the newest member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], leading to Ult to introduce himself as he throws Sableye out of the way, allowing it to escape while Ult is captured. As he is taken somewhere, Ult notices [[Lucius's Lapras|some]] [[Lucius's Kleavor|Pokémon]] trapped in boxes. At the same time, Sableye manages to find [[Roy]], {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]] and brings them to the base they found earlier. Unbeknownst to the group, they are being watched by Spinel, who is joined by [[Chalce]]. She feels that Spinel is acting too hastily even though he is capable to bringing down the Rising Volt Tacklers at any point. Spinel doesn't deny it, but points out not only are the Rising Volt Tacklers becoming stronger, but that he is aware of Amethio acting behind the scenes. Not keen on repeating Gibeon's mistakes, Spinel seeks to eliminate everyone opposing him as soon as possible.

Ult lays down on the bed in the room he's being held captive in and calls Sableye before remembering he sent it away earlier. Taking out his [[Dusk Ball]], Ult attempts to get {{p|Dragonite}} to get him out, but it doesn't respond, making him feel regretful for running away in the first place. Just as he decides to find a way out, something suddenly hits the door. A few more hits causes the door to break down, revealing none other than {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, with Roy appearing behind right after. The boys awkwardly talk before escaping, only to be caught by Indi and Rubina in the process. In preparation for a battle, Roy and Ult send out their Pokémon while Indi and Rubina exchange theirs. When both {{p|Darmanitan}} come out, they activate their [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Zen Mode}}, transforming them into {{form|Darmanitan|Zen Mode}}. After using the [[Strong Sphere]]s on both Darmanitan, Sableye and Lucario make the first attack, but it does not do much [[damage]]. Rubina calls for four {{p|Rabsca}}, which are also under the influence of [[Laquium]]. The {{pkmn|category|Rolling Pokémon}} float over and immediately let out an oppressive force that sends everyone, including {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, to the ground. Ult realizes it's the same feeling as earlier as Rubina reveals it's Rabsca's {{m|Gravity}} at work. However, {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan is able to still move around, despite Gravity also affecting it, thanks to Darmanitan using {{m|Psychic}}. As a result of the combination of Psychic and Gravity, it proves to be difficult to land any attacks. Roy has his Pokémon shield Sableye so that it can use {{m|Shadow Sneak}} on Darmanitan to stop it from using Psychic, while Cap uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}, while using Gravity to accelerate, to [[Fainting|knock it out]]. Indi isn't fazed and calls for a Rabsca, which uses {{m|Revival Blessing}} to revive Darmanitan. With both Darmanitan back on their feet, they manage to overwhelm Roy and Ult's Pokémon.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ult wants to do something to save everyone. He brings out his Dusk Ball and pleads for Dragonite to help him save everyone, remembering [[Salt (Horizons)|his father's]] words to Dragonite. The Dragon Pokémon comes out and is immediately suppressed by Gravity. Ult encourages Dragonite, causing it and Ult's [[Mega Ring]] to glow. While surprised, Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] Dragonite into Mega Dragonite and orders it to use {{m|Dragon Rush}} that successfully defeats all the Rabsca. With Gravity no longer in effect, Roy Mega Evolves Lucario into Mega Lucario, and the two Mega Pokémon defeat the two Darmanitan.

After leaving the base, Roy congratulates Ult on gaining Dragonite's approval. However, Ult doesn't agree, saying that he wants to be strongest with the purpose of protecting the people he cares about as only then will he gain Dragonite's approval. With the promise of protecting Roy, the two boys and their Pokémon return to the [[Brave Olivine]]. After explaining what happened earlier, Ult meets with [[Mollie]], who advises him based on her own experience. While confused, Ult thanks Mollie for not telling anyone about him running away. Later outside the observation deck, Ult warms up to being part of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In the observation deck of the [[Brave Olivine]], [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] are trying to get [[Ult]] to clean the room since it's a shared space, but Ult doesn't see the problem. Roy ends up exploding at Ult, telling him to leave if he doesn't clean up properly. Rather than clean his room, Ult leaves the airship, thoroughly annoyed with Roy. Meanwhile, in [[Manpūku Town]], a boy named [[Rayu]] is trying to sell some paintings while watching his {{p|Grafaiai}} make one. Unable to sell any, Rayu leaves his place and passes by some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s talking about [[Strong Sphere]]s, making Rayu interested in one to help his Pokémon. At that time, a hungry Ult arrives in Manpūku and spots some [[Nanab Berry]] trees. He tries to pluck one [[Berries|berry]] but is stopped by Rayu, who claims the tree is his, leading to the two arguing until the trees' true owner comes out and his {{p|Mabosstiff}} chases the two boys. The two are able to get away from the {{pkmn|category|Boss Pokémon}} and rest for a while. When Rayu gets up to leave, he and Ult see their Pokémon getting along very well, making Rayu much more willing to be friends with Ult to the point of sharing his food with the hungry boy. It turns out because of Grafaiai's picky nature, it's difficult for Grafaiai to interact with anything new, hence why seeing Grafaiai getting along with {{p|Sableye}} made Rayu really happy. Ult notes the close bond Rayu has with Grafaiai, and he doesn't deny it. Upon seeing Grafaiai trying to eat Sableye's gems, Ult suggests having Grafaiai eat something that Sableye can also eat, resulting in the Toxic Monkey Pokémon successfully eating an [[Oran Berry]] for the first time. After plucking more berries, Rayu brings Ult to his place and they begin talking. Ult brings out his [[Dusk Ball]], telling Rayu there's an amazing Pokémon that hasn't acknowledged him yet. The two boys then talk about Rayu's desire to help Grafaiai become a better artist, and Rayu almost asks Ult something but backs out at the last second.

The next morning, Roy finds Ult gone. Liko and [[Dot]] come to find out what's going on, and the latter notes the random rocks laying around. Roy initially agrees, but realizes the rocks are simply memories of the journey Ult had been on and that he acted wrong when talking with Ult the day before. Wanting to apologize to Ult, Roy leaves to find him despite having no leads to do so. Meanwhile, Ult wakes up to find not only Rayu gone but also his Dusk Ball. Seeing the blue saliva left on his bag, Ult tracks down Rayu with the saliva that Grafaiai left behind. In Manpūku Town, a store owner is in the middle of completing a transaction when Rayu arrives with the Dusk Ball he stole from Ult, hoping to trade it for a Strong Sphere. [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] hear the exchange and agrees to the trade just as Ult comes demanding for his {{i|Poké Ball}} back. Upon seeing Ult, Rubina stows away the Dusk Ball in her pocket, Ult then engages the two [[Explorers]] in a {{pkmn|battle}}, with the latter using the Strong Spheres on both their {{p|Darmanitan}}. Despite landing the first hit, Sableye is quickly overwhelmed by their strength. Grafaiai steps up to help its friend by dealing damage with Sludge Bomb, but a {{m|Fire Punch}} from Rubina's Darmanitan sends it flying. Rayu tearfully apologizes to everyone for causing this mess as he holds his weakened partner. Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] Sableye into Mega Sableye while Rayu watches the two Darmanitan attack fearfully. He even tells Ult to abandon him for his mistakes when he sees Mega Sableye struggling, but he refuses to, saying that there's no reason to fight for someone's sake. Unseen to the others, Ult's Dusk Ball begins shaking in Rubina's pocket. Ult has Sableye press on, but when it is nearly defeated, the Dusk Ball opens to save Mega Sableye, revealing a {{p|Dragonite}} in the process. Dragonite is able to take on and defeat the two [[Laquium]]-enhanced opponents singlehandedly, forcing the Explorers to retreat. Ult chases after the truck that the two Explorers are in as Rayu thanks him.

Afterwards, Roy arrives in Manpūku Town, having just missed Ult. He asks Rayu, who is suspicious of Roy. Upon hearing his intention with his friend, Rayu tells Roy where Ult went and finds Roy to be a good person too when he compliments the painting on his back. At their usual place, Rayu happily watches Grafaiai paint with a new color.

==Major events==

* [[Ult]] encounters [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] again, and both are revealed to own a {{p|Darmanitan}}, a Galarian and Unovan variant respectively.
* Ult's [[Dusk Ball]] is revealed to contain a {{p|Dragonite}}.

It first aired in Japan on August 8, 2025, in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2026, and is scheduled to air in the United States on March 20, 2026.
{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
During a stormy day, [[Ludlow]] and his {{p|Quagsire}} stand on the deck of the [[Brave Olivine]], overlooking the harsh sea when Quagsire senses a disturbance. In response, Ludlow changes into Mighty G and calls out his {{p|Sharpedo}} before all three jump into the sea. At the same time, [[Amethio]]'s {{p|Corviknight}} is having trouble getting through the harsh weather conditions despite an island being in view. Just then, Mighty G arrives and helps Amethio, who is confused by the man's appearance. Once the two seek refuge in a cave, Mighty G attempts to leave due to his back pain while Amethio wants to go through the cave in hopes of finding [[Zygarde Cell]]s, but he doesn't make it far before collapsing from hunger. Mighty G and Quagsire give Amethio ingredients to make {{wp|Japanese curry|curry rice}} before leaving him so that Mighty G can safely change back. When Ludlow peeks from the entrance, he becomes concerned when he sees Amethio standing around and not doing anything. He enters the cave again as Mighty G and asks Amethio about his cooking skills, which is not much since the most he can do is roast {{berries}}. As such, Mighty G teaches Amethio how to cook [[curry]]. During the cooking process, Mighty G realizes Amethio is still wet from the storm when the latter sneezes and teaches him how to properly dry his clothes. By the end of everything, Amethio is amazed not only by his clothes being fully dry but also by the pot of curry cooking in front of him. Mighty G tries to leave again, but he stays behind so that Amethio can experience eating curry with company present for the first time. While the Pokémon enjoy the curry by themselves, Mighty G and Amethio talk about Amethio's intentions once the storm passes. Amethio reveals he wants to prove the path he's taking is the right one to [[Gibeon|his late grandfather]], and Mighty G advises him that stopping once in a while is also right in itself. Looking to the Pokémon, Amethio agrees with his unusual company and gets praised by him. When the storm passes, Mighty G and his Pokémon return to the sea while Amethio resumes his journey with {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} and Corviknight.
[[File:Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo.png|thumb|left|250px|Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo]]
Meanwhile, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] have arrived at the beach now that the storm is over. [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] are enjoying their time swimming while [[Dot]] watches before announcing she's returning to the airship. When [[Mollie]] and [[Orla]] call the three remaining kids back to hydrate themselves, they see Dot searching around for something, which is a [[Gimmighoul Coin]], making her annoyed at having been controlled by {{p|Gimmighoul}} again. At that moment, Liko and Roy see a crowd of people waiting for {{p|Gholdengo}} so that they can enjoy {{wp|surfing}} with the {{pkmn|category|Coin Entity Pokémon}}, with [[Murdock]], {{TP|Murdock|Lycanroc}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]] coming up to the kids with their own surfboards. Murdock invites the kids to try surfing, but Dot refuses again, opting to edit videos in her room. Unfortunately, Dot continues to get controlled by Gimmighoul despite her attempts to stop it. She calls for {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatuff}} to return with her after getting controlled again, but she sees the longing look in the Practicing Pokémon's eyes as he looks at the others surfing. Despite her reluctance, Dot ultimately chooses to surf to make Quaxwell happy, much to the shock of Liko and Murdock. Led by Gholdengo, the Rising Volt Tacklers wait for the next wave on their respective surfboards, with Gimmighoul stowing away on Dot's and she allows it to join her. When a coin falls out of its chest, Gimmighoul jumps in to catch it and starts drifting away until Dot rescues it. A huge wave approaches and everyone has a fun time surfing on it.
[[File:Dot and Gimmighoul.png|thumb|250px|Dot talking to Gimmighoul]]
At sunset, everyone bids Gholdengo farewell as Dot looks at Gimmighoul with a contemplative look. Ludlow, whose back is still recovering from him becoming Mighty G for a lengthy period earlier, meets up with Liko and Roy as they tell him how their day went excitingly when they see Dot talking with Gimmighoul. Having been controlled by the Coin Chest Pokémon plenty of times, Dot wondered how to stop it from happening until she saw how Gimmighoul idolized Gholdengo like she does with {{an|Iono}}. Being able to understand how Gimmighoul feels about this, Dot decides to help Gimmighoul collect coins and asks to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, which {{TP|Dot|Gimmighoul}} agrees to happily, joining her [[party|team]]. Even though Dot tells Gimmighoul there's no need for it to control her or her Pokémon again since they're a team now, it still does so later when Dot was telling Mollie about her newest capture.

==Plot==
[[Liko]], [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] visit [[Amethio's mansion]], having obtained permission to use the place from [[Cervantis]]. In the sitting room, Zirc and Onia explain how the [[Explorers]] have changed when [[Spinel]] took over after the events on [[Laqua]], and that [[HZ092|they were assigned by]] [[Hamber]] to search for [[Amethio]], who is the only one capable of opposing Spinel. However, they have not been successful so far, and are now turning to Liko for help. Liko ponders for a moment when her {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} directs her focus to a [[Photography|photo]] of a younger Amethio and his own {{p|Charcadet}} before it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}. Looking at the photos put up, Liko asks where it was taken. Cervantis, who is working at an [[Exceed]] warehouse after stepping down, is about to give the location when Spinel makes a surprise visit. Cervantis asks about the [[Strong Sphere]]s, but Spinel reassures the former director that everything is going according to plan. Afterwards, when Cervantis sends the location of the island, Liko, Zirc, and Onia set off. On the way, Liko asks the two how they met Amethio. They reveal they were assigned to Amethio when they first joined the Explorers and assumed he was a spoiled kid, ready to take advantage of him to progress higher into the Explorers. Over time, their perspective on Amethio changed to the point where they decided to be completely loyal to him, and now they wish to help Amethio again.
[[File:Liko Charcadet and Amethio Ceruledge meet.png|thumb|250px|left|Charcadet and Ceruledge meet]]
At night on the island, Amethio reminisces the events from the past year. After [[HZ089|successfully escaping Laqua's collapse]], Amethio separated himself from his subordinates, telling them to go back to the Explorers on their own. While avoiding the Explorers after him under Spinel's orders, Amethio used the submarine to get to the island where he had his only family trip. Since then, Amethio has been hiding away on the island, feeling alone because there's no one he can turn to. Turning to the side, Amethio recalls [[Maria (Horizons)|his mother]] asking Charcadet to protect him, and imagines his mother's spirit heading for the sea. Looking further into the distance, Amethio sees something coming and thinks he's been found by the Explorers. To Amethio's surprise and relief, it is Liko, Zirc, and Onia who arrive by crashing the boat in front of him. The group huddles around a campfire, and Amethio notices Liko {{pkmn2|caught}} a Charcadet, with Liko saying it wanted to protect her. The trio explain Spinel's current intentions with the Explorers, Exceed, and the Strong Spheres to Amethio, who is unable to help. Having lost everything, Amethio feels powerless, causing Liko to [[HZ065|repeat the words he said to her when they were trapped in the cave]]. Charcadet challenges Ceruledge to a {{pkmn|battle}} in response to Liko's feelings. Despite Amethio trying to dissuade the {{pkmn|category|Fire Child Pokémon}} from taking on an impossible opponent, Liko also asks for a battle and points out anything can happen, resulting in Amethio reluctantly agreeing to the battle.

The battle begins with an {{m|Ember}} from Charcadet that is easily sliced in half, so Liko has Charcadet approach Ceruledge, but it is unable to do so due to a flurry of {{m|Psycho Cut}}s preventing it from getting closer. Charcadet uses {{m|Clear Smog}}, and Amethio sees right through its plan. Running through the smokescreen, Charcadet comes close to Ceruledge and uses Ember again, only to be surprised to find the Fire Blades Pokémon gone. Ceruledge rises from a portal and attacks from behind, having used {{m|Phantom Force}} before Charcadet attacked. Seeing it struggle to get up, Amethio declares the battle is over and tells Liko to [[recall]] it back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}. But she doesn't listen, and stares at Charcadet struggling to get back up. Despite the pleas for it to give up, Charcadet, with support from its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and fellow Pokémon, stands back up again with determination burning in its eyes. At Liko's command, Charcadet rushes towards Ceruledge, sliding under another Psycho Cut attack and jumping high enough to unleash a powerful Ember that manages to hit Ceruledge. Amethio isn't impressed by their success, but he and Liko notice Ceruledge's eyes are also burning with the same determination as Charcadet. Without any order from his Trainer, Ceruledge strikes down Charcadet with {{m|Shadow Claw}} before it could attack, ending the battle.
[[File:Liko Charcadet Meowscarada and Pagogo.png|thumb|250px|Liko, Meowscarada, and Pagogo praising Charcadet]]
Liko, {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}, and [[Pagogo]] praise Charcadet's efforts while Amethio and Ceruledge approach them. Liko thanks Amethio for the battle, admitting she didn't want to disappoint the Fire Child Pokémon by refusing to let it battle and promises to be stronger the next time they battle. Liko's words and the battle just now strike a chord with Amethio, who tells Zirc and Onia he can't go with them. As Explorers, they are capable of doing things that Amethio can't from within. As for Amethio, he decides to find something he can do, making his subordinates happy to see a spark of his old self back. Zirc and Onia give the [[Zygarde Cube]] to Amethio, making him realize he should gather the [[Zygarde Cell]]s of [[Gibeon|his grandfather's]] [[White Zygarde]], while Liko tells Amethio she believes in the path he's taking.

At the Explorers base, Hamber is updated on the situation and breaks down in relief when the call ends, all of which is seen by [[Chalce]] through the camera. Liko returns to the [[Brave Olivine]] where Charcadet is healed. [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] meet with Liko and inform her of their plans to have some fun while the ship is undergoing maintenance, with [[Ult]] demanding to join in. At sunrise, Amethio leaves the island on {{p|Corviknight}}, with the Zygarde Cube in hand and renewed determination.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
At the end of her livestream, [[Dot|Nidothing]] introduces a special guest on her channel: {{an|Iono}}. The two streamers reveal the details of their upcoming collaboration event that is being held in [[Levincia]], making [[Liko]] excited at the opportunity to get a handshake or a hug from Nidothing. On the outside deck, Dot explains how this event would help them to raise funds to travel around, and Liko invites [[Ult]] to join them. He turns it down, not being interested in a costumed streamer and gets startled when Liko fiercely defends Nidothing. At the same time, on the coast of Levincia, [[Zirc]], [[Onia]], and their Pokémon are laying around as they are stuck without any sort of clue to find [[Amethio]]. Onia declares they should try searching again tomorrow, but Zirc is reluctant due to wanting to attend Nidothing's event that is being held the same day.

The following day, [[Roy]] and Dot observe the line of people waiting to get a ticket needed to enter the event, including Liko. Even though Dot offers to let Liko in without a ticket, the latter objects on the grounds of not being qualified to be a true Nidothing fan if she doesn't get a ticket with her own hands. After successfully getting a ticket, the trio runs into [[Grusha]], who explains he saw the event on Iono's channel, surprising them by revealing how much of a fan he is, as his single-digit ticket number means he must have queued really early, he is. Meanwhile, Zirc is pleased to have obtained his own ticket, which matches {{p|Rhydon}}'s Pokédex number, and being excited to meet Nidothing. Due to a strong gust of wind, the ticket flies out of his hand and into the drain. When his Rhydon opens the drain, the ticket is gone, leaving Zirc devastated. On the way to a rehearsal with ice cream in hand, Liko, Roy, and Dot encounter Onia and a depressed Zirc, who doesn't react at all to the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' presence. When she finds out how he lost his ticket and remembering how he and Onia [[HZ087|helped them last time]], Dot offers her ticket to Zirc. However, he rejects it, misunderstanding Dot as a bigger Nidothing fan (due to how she has the same Pokémon as in Nidothing's streams), and winds up repeating what Liko said when she was queuing up earlier, causing Liko to volunteer to help Zirc find his ticket, to her friends' surprise.

At the place where Zirc lost his ticket, Dot asks Iono for help in finding out where the drain leads to as Liko and Zirc reveal their online usernames to each other. With Iono's help, the group goes to the area below the central plaza. Liko suggests having Onia's {{p|Golduck}} swim around, but she reveals Golduck's sensitive skin prevents it from swimming in the seas. Despite that, everyone searches around the area, with some searching on land, and the rest on the boat Zirc and Onia travels around in. By evening, the group is unsuccessful in their efforts and Dot has to leave them to get to the event. Zirc decides to give up the chance to meet Nidothing, but Liko rebukes him, making him motivated to search for the ticket again. [[Roy's Crocalor]] is also eager to help, and in a show of eagerness, runs into a rock that sprouted from the sand out of nowhere. Three heads exit from the rock, with one of them having Zirc's ticket on its head. Rhydon rushes to the Pokémon against Zirc's orders and ends up getting attacked by a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Triple Dive}}. With Roy's [[Rotom Phone]], they learn the Pokémon is a {{p|Wugtrio}}, and Liko sends {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Garden Eel Pokémon}} from moving. However, it uses {{m|Dig}} to constantly avoid the Magician Pokémon, as well as the Duck Pokémon when Onia tries to help. When Rhydon rushes in again, it gets hit by another Triple Dive. Unseen by Wugtrio, Crocalor jumps on it and manages to grab it, only for the {{pkmn2|wild}} Wugtrio to retaliate with the same move after escaping his grasp. [[Captain Pikachu]] delivers a {{m|Thunder Punch}} that manages to {{status|paralyze}} it long enough for Rhydon to take back the ticket with its horn. Zirc thanks everyone gratefully for their help, and they rush to the central plaza.

Liko, Roy, and Zirc manage to arrive just as the event starts. Throughout the event, various segments are carried out, including a dance session with {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} that ends with Rhydon chasing Nidothing affectionately, mistaking her for an actual {{p|Nidorina}}. Afterwards is the meet-and-greet segment, where Liko and Zirc happily receive a handshake from Nidothing while Grusha greets Iono. Onia, who was a fan of Grusha's since his professional snowboarding days, asks to shake his hand and pets his {{p|Cetoddle}}. Once the event is over, Liko and Roy got to meet up with Dot, not noticing Zirc is following them since he wanted to thank them again for helping earlier. As a result, he and Rhydon find out Dot is Nidothing, sending them into a great shock. Onia finds out what happened when she joins them a moment later and, together with Roy, watches Nidothing cheer Zirc and Rhydon up, along with Liko who is happy to see Nidothing again. Later on, Zirc and Onia decide to talk to Liko and explain the current situation with Amethio. Liko is stunned when they ask her to join them in their search for their missing leader.

==Major events==

* [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] reunite with [[Onia]], [[Zirc]], {{an|Iono}}, and [[Grusha]] again.
* Onia and Zirc ask Liko for her help in finding [[Amethio]].

==Plot==
After [[Penny]] [[HZ101|challenges]] [[Dot]] to a [[Double Battle]] of their own, the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s stand on opposite ends of the battlefield as [[Dendra]], as the [[Battle judge|referee]], explains they'll be using the same rules as the {{pkmn|battle}} before. With Dot having the advantage considering the [[type]] match-ups, Dendra starts the battle. Penny makes the first move by having her {{p|Sylveon}} to use {{m|Moonblast}} that is blocked by [[Dot's Tinkatuff]]'s {{m|Brutal Swing}}. [[Dot's Quaxwell]] lands a {{m|Liquidation}} on Penny's Sylveon, causing Penny to order her Pokémon to attack Tinkatuff simultaneously. While she was able to hold off the [[Move|attacks]], Dot attempts to have Quaxwell help Tinkatuff, but for some reason, he doesn't act, leading to Tinkatuff being dealt [[damage]]. Dot realizes Quaxwell is [[infatuation|infatuated]] with Penny's Sylveon thanks to the latter's [[Ability]], {{a|Cute Charm}}, when he attacked with Liquidation earlier. As such, Dot tries to have Quaxwell go to attack {{p|Flareon}}, only for Sylveon to step in and make him retreat without doing anything. Frustrated, Tinkatuff knocks some sense into Quaxwell with her hammer as Dot asks, successfully removing the [[status condition]], to the surprise of Penny and {{an|Nemona}} since it's usually removed when Sylveon is [[Fainting|knocked out]]. With Quaxwell back to normal, both Trainers pull out their [[Tera Orb]]s and {{Tera}}stallize their respective Pokémon. Sylveon attacks with Moonblast, and Quaxwell takes the attack after launching Tinkatuff into the air. Tinkatuff uses {{m|Slam}} onto the ground, dealing damage to both opponents and shocking Penny, and Quaxwell follows up with another Liquidation on Sylveon. Unfortunately, Flareon uses the opportunity to leap in on an unsuspecting Quaxwell and defeat him with {{m|Swift}}, winning Penny the battle. Everyone is impressed by the battle and in awe at Penny's talent and strength, which Nemona credits to her spending so much time around the top trainers of the Pokemon League. Fired up by the battle, [[Ult]] wants to battle next. However, school hours have ended with the bell chiming, forcing Ult to wait until next time.

In the meeting room of the [[Brave Olivine]], the team goes over the data that Penny gathered, and [[Roy]] notices the newest [[Laquium]] Sign sighting was at the same ruins that [[HZ057|they explored with]] [[Raifort]] the year before. Since it's nearby, Dot suggests they check it out, and everyone agrees, with [[Murdock]] preparing a [[picnic]] set for the younger members before they leave. Upon arriving at the area, the four members split up to cover more ground. While investigating, [[Liko]] comes across {{OBP|Pepper|HZ102}}, a student of [[Naranja Academy]] who is looking for his Pokémon partner {{p|Scovillain}}, who disappeared the day before. While she hasn't seen the Pokémon, Liko promises to keep an eye for it just as Roy informs her everyone else has gathered for lunch at the watchtower.

The group settles down for a picnic, with Liko realizing this is Dot's first one with them. They bring up how [[HZ013|Liko made a picnic set for Dot who preferred to stay in her room back then]], with the latter admitting she had fun making [[sandwich]]es with [[Ludlow]] that time. The group have a fulfilling picnic before setting off for a second round of investigation. Dot muses how they'll need plenty of money to travel around if they want to spread the truth of the Laquium, especially since their funds primarily came from the odd jobs that [[Friede]] and [[Captain Pikachu]] did. Ult's {{p|Sableye}} comes over with a [[Gimmighoul Coin|worthless coin]], causing Liko and Dot to recall how Roy collected plenty of coins when he was controlled by {{p|Gimmighoul}}, which Ult finds humorous. Roy says he won't fall for it this time, which Ult is skeptical of. All the while, the group doesn't realize they are being watched by the {{pkmn|category|Coin Chest Pokémon}}.
[[File:Liko Charcadet and Pagogo.png|thumb|250px|Pagogo and Charcadet coming to Liko's rescue]]
The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] resume their search. However, instead of clues, Roy ironically finds a Gimmighoul Coin, with everyone else joining in, except for Liko and her Pokémon, as a result of Gimmighoul's control. Liko notices her friends' absence while [[Pagogo]] wanders off, finding a certain area very familiar. It enters an opening and finds the {{p|Charcadet}} it had met last year. The two Pokémon interact with each other before Charcadet realizes three of its friends are missing. Liko calls out for Pagogo when she realizes it disappeared as well, only for {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} to get her attention on [[footprint]]s that emit pink smoke. She investigates further when she couldn't contact her friends, who were still looking for Gimmighoul Coins. They find a trio of [[wild Pokémon]], who happens to be Charcadet's missing friends, fleeing from a rampaging Scovillain. Liko has Meowscarada distract Scovillain while her {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} heals the wild Pokémon with {{m|Heal Pulse}}, realizing in the process the Scovillain is Pepper's missing partner. Meowscarada is gradually getting overpowered by Scovillain's attacks, while Liko is unsure on her next step. The wild {{p|Happiny}} runs off scared, and Liko dives in to protect her from Scovillain's attack, only for it to never come. Liko looks up and sees Charcadet riding on Pagogo, remembering the Charcadet as the one from the year before as well. Facing Scovillain head on, Charcadet takes on the attack, not taking any damage thanks to its {{a|Flash Fire}} Ability. Charcadet also gains a boost in its {{m|Ember}}, allowing it to knock down Scovillain long enough for Pagogo to purify the Laquium from the Spicy Pepper Pokémon.
[[File:Liko team HZ102.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko, Meowscarada, and Hattrem watching Pagogo giving their newest friend Charcadet a ride]]
Liko brings Scovillain to Pepper, who is happy to reunite with his partner, before asking if he used a [[Strong Sphere]]. While surprised, Pepper confirms he uses a Strong Sphere, but it's not on him as he sent it back to [[Exceed]] to get it recharged after it ran out of energy from many uses. Pepper thanks Liko for bringing back Scovillain, and she returns to see Charcadet waiting for her with its friends. She sadly informs the Fire Child Pokémon of her need to leave and thanks it for helping them earlier. However, encouraged by Pagogo and its friends, Charcadet ends up stepping up and kneeling to Liko, offering its protection. Liko accepts Charcadet's offer and takes out a {{i|Poké Ball}}, allowing {{TP|Liko|Charcadet}} to join her [[party|team]].

Afterwards, Liko rejoins her friends and is exasperated to see them under Gimmighoul's control, snapping out of it a moment later. Back in the Brave Olivine, the younger members speculate how using the Strong Sphere could sever a bond between a Trainer and Pokémon, using the [[HZ100|battle against the Explorers']] {{p|Tauros}} as a possible reference. Dot then receives a video message from {{an|Iono}}, who asks to have a handshake event as their next collaboration. Dot reluctantly agrees to hold it as a means to earn some money, making Liko overjoyed. Meanwhile, the Gimmighoul from earlier has secretly stowed away on the airship.

Trainer Card (game)

2026-02-01T17:47:42Z

HoennMaster: Sorry, missed this one last time

{{incomplete|needs=Needs Gen VIII information}}
[[File:Trainer Card Y.png|thumb|250px|A Trainer Card in {{game|Yellow}}]]
The '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーカード''' ''Trainer Card'', or '''{{j|Trainer's Card}}''') is the screen that displays information about a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon games]].

It shows basic information such as the Trainer name, the [[Trainer ID number]], the player's [[gender]], the amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] carried, the total gameplay time attained so far, the number of [[Badge]]s obtained, and the number of Pokémon the player has seen or caught in their [[Pokédex]].

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Trainer Cards are replaced by [[League Card]]s.

==Terminology==
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]]–[[Generation VI|VI]], this is shown as the player name in the [[menu]].
** In [[Generation I]], this screen is referred to as '''Name''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|名前|なまえ}}''' ''Player's Name'') in the game manuals.
** In [[Generation II|Generations II]]–{{gen|III}}, this screen is referred to as '''Your Name''' in the game manuals.
** In [[Generation III]], the text '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーカード''' ''Trainer Card'') appears on the card.
** In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]]–{{gen|V}}, the text '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Trainer's Card}}''') appears on the card.
** In {{g|X and Y}}, the text '''Trainer Information''' appears on the card. The same English text is also used in the Japanese version of these games.
*** It is referred to as '''Trainer's Info''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|情報|じょうほう}}''' ''Protagonist Information'') in the game manuals.
** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, no identifying text appears on the card.
*** It is referred to as '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|情報|じょうほう}}''' ''Protagonist Information'') in the game manuals.
* In [[Generation VII]], this is shown in the menu as the '''Trainer Passport''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーパス''' ''Trainer Pass''). The Trainer name is not shown in the menu anymore.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it is referred to as '''Trainer Card''' in the menu.

In {{game|Emerald}}, a player can upgrade their Trainer Card to a '''Frontier Pass''' (Japanese: '''フロンティアパス''' ''Frontier Pass'') upon reaching the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. The usual Trainer Card is visibly shown stored inside the Frontier Pass.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the Trainer Card and the player's badges are stored in the '''Trainer Case'''.<ref>'''[[Gym guide]]''', [[Sunyshore City]]: ''"Let me check out your Trainer Case. Let’s see how many Badges you have."'' ({{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}})</ref><ref>'''[[Gym guide]]''', [[Sunyshore City]]: ''"Let me check out your Trainer Case and see how many Badges you have..."'' ({{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}})</ref>

==In the games==
===All generations===
Starting in [[Generation I]], all generations include an image of the [[player character]] and the following information:

* '''Player name'''
* '''Money'''
* '''Time played'''
* '''List of badges'''

In Generation I, the [[Trainer ID number]] is not shown here, unlike later games. The ID number can be seen on the [[Party|summary]] of each Pokémon instead.

Starting in [[Generation II]], all generations include this information:

* '''[[Trainer ID number]]'''
* '''[[Pokédex]]''':
** This is the number of [[Caught Pokémon|captured]] Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and [[Generation VII]] games.
** This is the number of seen Pokémon instead, in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] games.

===Generation I===
In Generation I, the Trainer Card initially displays the faces of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, except [[Giovanni]]'s face is obscured as a silhouette with a question mark "?".

In the Japanese games of this generation, the names of all Gym Leaders are also written above their faces (each Japanese name consisting of exactly three katakana characters), except Giovanni's name is written as "---". In the international versions of these games, the Gym Leader names are not written on the Trainer Card, possibly owing to the longer English names.

When the player obtains a Badge, the respective Gym Leader face is permanently replaced by the Badge, and their name (in Japanese games) disappears as well.

===Generation II===
In Generation II, the Trainer Card initially displays the faces of the eight [[Johto]] [[Gym Leaders]]. The [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders are not shown on the Trainer Card.

In the Japanese and Korean games of this generation, the names of all Johto Gym Leaders are also written above their faces (each Japanese name consisting of exactly three katakana characters). In the international versions of these games, the Gym Leader names are not written on the Trainer Card, possibly owing to the longer English names.

When the player obtains a Badge, it appears together with the Gym Leader face. Unlike the previous generation, their faces and names (the latter in Japanese and Korean games) remain permanently displayed on the Trainer Card.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], the card can be flipped to the back, and it includes data such as:
* '''First Hall of Fame'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Hall of Fame Debut'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of gameplay time that it took for the player to enter the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time.
* '''Link Cable Battles'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Link Battles'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}: The number of times that the player has participated in link battles, including the amounts of wins and losses incurred.
* '''Pokémon Trades''': The number of times that the player has [[trade]]d Pokémon with other players.
* '''Pokéblocks with Friends'''{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of [[Pokéblocks]] that have been produced with other players.
* '''Contests with Friends'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Won Contests with Friends'''{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of [[Pokémon Contest]]s with other players in which the player won 1st place.
* '''Battle Tower & Straight Wins'''{{sup/3|RS}}: The number of battles won within the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, including the player's best streak (amount of matches won consecutively).
* '''Union Trades & Battles'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}: The number of times that the player has participated in trades and battles in the Union Room.
* '''Berry Crush'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}: The number of times that the player has participated in the [[Berry Crush]] at the Direct Corner.
* '''Battle Points Won'''{{sup/3|E}}: The total amount of accumulated Battle Points ever earned by the player to date (excluding any payout Battle Points obtained from the Hoenn Battle Frontier's [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Betting man|betting man]] or from Scott).

In Generation III, the [[Pokémon Center]] for [[Petalburg City]] and [[Pewter City]] contains an NPC who will let players put key words on their Trainer Cards.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a Trainer's [[party]] could be [[Photography|photographed]] via the Pokémon Printer within the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and put on the back of the Trainer Card as well (for a fee of {{pdollar}}50 per photo). There are four different color options available:
* '''Normal''': Party Pokémon are displayed with their normal colors.
* '''Black''': Party Pokémon are displayed as silhouettes, entirely colored in black.
* '''Pink''': Party Pokémon are displayed with pink hues.
* '''Sepia''': Party Pokémon are displayed in a gray-scale fashion, only utilizing the colors of black, white, and gray.

[[Trainer Card level]]s were also introduced in Generation III, and the Trainer Card changes color and gains an additional star according the number of special achievements completed.

====Frontier Pass====
[[File:Frontier Pass E.png|thumb|100px|Frontier Pass]]
In {{game|Emerald}}, a player can upgrade their Trainer Card to a '''Frontier Pass''' (Japanese: '''フロンティアパス''' ''Frontier Pass'') upon reaching the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. The Frontier Pass shows a player's [[Symbol]]s and [[Battle Point]]s, allows players to view a map of the Battle Frontier, view a recorded match saved at a Battle Frontier facility except for the [[Battle Pike]] and [[Battle Pyramid]], or look at the standard Trainer Card.

Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their Trainer Card will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance. This pass holds the Trainer Card, as well as a small map of the Battle Frontier and the player's records with the Frontier. Saved-up [[Battle Point]]s, or BP, are listed, as are any of the seven [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] the player has won. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities (or one link battle with other players also using Emerald) may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Pass, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

===Generation IV===
Timestamps are now used in the [[Generation IV]] Trainer Cards, whereby the date which the game began and the date and time at which the Elite Four were defeated was also added. A small drawing area was also included at the back of the card to allow the Trainer to add their signature.

Utilizing the dual screens of the [[Nintendo DS]], the earned Badges are now displayed separately from the Trainer Card. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a Badge case was added where Trainers could polish their Badges using the stylus and by touching the Badges they would play a musical note in a C major scale. As the Badges gradually grow dull over time due to the lack of shine, the pitch will change depending on the 'cleanliness' of the Badge. A dull Badge will play a lower note than it would if it were sparkling.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Badges are displayed at the upper screen of the Nintendo DS instead. Unlike {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player is able to sign their Trainer Card without having to go to a [[Pokémon Center]].

When communicating in the [[Union Room]], players can have the option of viewing each other's Trainer Card. However, the other player's picture will change to an in-game {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} of their gender. The Trainer class can be changed by talking to a man in the [[Oreburgh City]] [[Pokémon Center]] or the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], the Badges are now shown on a separate screen from the Trainer Card. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Badges can be polished by the stylus and the picture of the corresponding [[Gym Leader]] will light up as the Badges become more shiny. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the Badges can no longer be polished using the stylus.

The Trainer Card now has added features to it. The front of the card allows the player to change their Trainer class and [[Nature]] by tapping with the stylus, while the bottom allows a greeting to be entered which will be used when communicating with other Trainers via [[C-Gear]] wireless.

The back of the card is divided into two sections: the top keeps track of the player's playtime, the first [[Hall of Fame]] debut and a list of other records which include the number of times the player won, lost or traded with other people, the number of {{pkmn|Musical}}s participated, the number of [[Entralink#List of Pass Powers|Pass Powers]] obtained, and the {{DL|Nimbasa City|Battle Institute}} and [[Poké Transfer]] high scores. The bottom half of the card allows the player to draw or sign with added functions such as zoom and erase, or even create a 2-frame animation with two halves of the box.

Stars are no longer displayed after increasing the [[Trainer Card level]], but the color of the card will still change when the player has completed certain achievements.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], the Trainer Card is changed and divided into two screens: the top contains the {{player}}'s name, their ID number, a number of Pokémon the player saw, their money, their [[Poké Mile]]s, the player's playtime to keep track on, the day that the player first started their adventure, and the first entrance into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The bottom screen has Badges but no longer plays a musical note.

===Generation VII===
[[File:Key Trainer Passport Sprite.png|thumb|100px|Trainer Passport obtain sprite]]
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the Trainer Card is replaced with a '''Trainer Passport''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーパス''' ''Trainer Pass''). It contains the same [[player character|player]]'s information found in Trainer Cards from previous games. Unlike previous games, the Trainer Passport is not immediately obtained at the start of the game, but instead is obtained just after the player chooses their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Whereas previous games also displayed the player's earned Badges and [[Trainer Card level]], the Passport records these as [[#Stamps|stamps]] on different pages of the Passport instead. The player is also able to change their Passport portrait at any time.

In {{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the Trainer card is not present as a separate [[menu]] entry but can be seen when the [[save]] entry is selected. It shows the player's and {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}}'s current appearance, player's name and ID no., number of Pokémon registered in the Pokédex, amount of money the player has, play time, the date the current adventure was started, and the [[badge]]s obtained along with an image of the [[Gym Leader]].

===Generation VIII===
The Trainer Card is absent in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, instead being replaced by the [[League Card]], which performs similar functions.

The Trainer Card returns in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, with a similar design to its [[Generation IV]] counterpart, albeit the back of the card no longer displaying a place for the player to draw their signature and displaying Contest statistics.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Trainer Card is again not a separate menu item and can be seen in the save entry. It shows the player's initial appearance, player's name, number of Pokémon registered in the Pokédex, play time, the current time and in-game location, icons of the [[Noble Pokémon]] calmed by the player, and the player's [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|Galaxy Team rank]] and benefits.

===Generation IX===
In {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Trainer Card is replaced by the Profile App in the [[Rotom Phone]]. Both the profile picture and Trainer icon can be updated freely by taking photos with the [[Photography|camera]] app. The initial screen of the app includes data such as:
* '''Badges''': The number of [[Badge]]s obtained by the player.
* '''Shiny Pokémon Battled''': The number of [[Shiny Pokémon]] the player has registered in their [[Pokédex]]. This does not include Pokémon seen in multiplayer battles.
* '''Recipes Collected''': The number [[Sandwich]] Recipes the player has collected.

By choosing to "Change View," a second screen appears with the following data:
* '''Enrollment Date''': The date the player began the game.
* '''Money''': The amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] the player currently has.
* '''League Points''': The amount of [[League Point]]s the player currently has.
* '''Gym Badge Effects''': The effects the player receives based on the number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] acquired.
* The player's current party is also shown as menu sprites on the left.

==Applications==
===Level===
{{main|Trainer Card level}}
Trainer Card levels were introduced in [[Generation III]], and increase when specific achievements are performed. The Trainer Card changes color depending on the number of achievements completed, which may be done in any order. In Generations III and [[Generation IV|IV]], as well as [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], each achievement also grants an additional star.

===Score===
In [[Generation IV]], the Trainer Card also carries the Trainer's score. It serves no specific purpose beyond being shown on the player's Trainer Card in the overworld and in the [[Underground]]. The score begins at zero and increases every time a score-altering event occurs. The maximum score value possible is 99,999,999.

===Stickers===
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Braggart on {{OBP|Four Island|town}} hands out Stickers to Trainers who tell him about their achievements. The Stickers are applied to the back of the Trainer Card, in the top-left, and are colored red, blue, yellow, or gray (depending on the number of times that the player has made that particular achievement).

Trainer Cards do not appear in {{aniseries|PTS}}; Trainers are instead identified via their [[Pokédex]]es. Each has another license, called the [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. Applicants must be 10 years of age or older to obtain these licenses. Trainers keep their [[Badge]]s pinned on their clothing or in protected cases.

'''Cipher''' (Japanese: '''{{j|シャドー}}''' ''Shadow'') is a [[villainous team|criminal syndicate]] in the [[Orre]] region, serving as the main antagonist of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

Their ultimate goal is to take over the world by using [[Shadow Pokémon]], Pokémon who have had their emotions removed, turning them into soulless fighting machines. Unlike other villain groups, they regularly use physical force on humans, leaving them injured on the ground. They have been known to take hostages, and will command their Shadow Pokémon to attack people with full force.

==Role==
{{spoilers}}
===[[Pokémon Colosseum]]===
The organization first appears at the beginning of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], where [[Wes]] sees two thugs, later revealed to be Cipher members [[Trudly]] and [[Folly]], carry off a sack after a supposed heist. The sack contains a [[Rui|girl]], which Wes discovers on venturing to [[Phenac City]], who has the ability to see the dark aura Cipher's [[Shadow Pokémon]] emit. After consulting briefly with the [[Es Cade|mayor]] of [[Phenac City]], [[Es Cade]], Wes and [[Rui]] venture off to defeat Cipher.

Most cities in [[Orre]] are either overrun by the group or controlled entirely by them: three of Cipher's four administrators, [[Miror B.]], [[Dakim]], and [[Venus]], control [[Pyrite Town]], [[Mt. Battle]], and [[The Under]], respectively, when Wes firsts arrives at each, having taken over the towns from their people through threats, covert means, and outright violence. [[Agate Village]] is also terrorized by the group, with the goal of destroying the [[Relic Stone]].

Cipher's fourth administrator, [[Ein]], serves as their lead scientist, and is the chief developer of Shadow Pokémon in a [[Cipher Lab|secret laboratory]] in the desert. [[Nascour]] is chief executive of the operation, giving directives to the admins, only appearing in person twice.

With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher opens the newly completed [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives. Near the top of Realgam Tower, [[Team Snagem]]'s boss [[Gonzap]] unexpectedly arrives, and reveals a key truth behind the conspiracy: Team Snagem would steal Pokémon from Trainers, while Cipher would corrupt them and turn them into Shadow Pokémon. Cipher was the original developer of the [[Snag Machine]] stolen from Team Snagem by Wes. After defeating Gonzap, Wes enters the Tower's Colosseum and does battle with a gauntlet of Cipher agents at Nascour's behest, before finally facing off with the Cipher leader. Nascour falls in battle only for [[Mayor Es Cade]] to arrive and reveal his true identity as [[Evice]], the real Cipher Head. Evice attempts to escape in a helicopter after being defeated by Wes, only for {{p|Ho-Oh}} to intervene and destroy the craft with {{m|Sacred Fire}}, bringing an end to Cipher's scheme.

Despite the organization's collapse, however, several Cipher agents continue to try and salvage their own plans in various locations. Gonzap also returns to the [[Snagem Hideout]], where Wes defeats him again and prevents him from reorganizing Team Snagem. Once all the Shadow Pokémon are Snagged, including the Shadow {{p|Shuckle}} held by [[Agnol]] in the [[Deep Colosseum]], a Cipher Peon named [[Fein]] begins impersonating Wes, attacking citizens throughout Orre with his Shadow {{p|Togetic}}. With Togetic's capture, Cipher's plans come to a complete end.

===[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]===
Cipher returns in {{Pokémon XD}}, having reorganized and refined their plans in the five years following the events of Colosseum. They are staffed by a new set of Cipher Admins: scientist [[Lovrina]], who has perfected Ein's techniques for creating Shadow Pokémon; [[Snattle]], the chief of Cipher's political arm; and [[Gorigan]], the manager of the [[Cipher Key Lair]] factory producing Shadow Pokémon. The whereabouts of Dakim, Venus and Ein are unknown, while Miror B. has dropped out of Cipher to form Team Miror with Folly and Trudly. Aiming to steal Shadow Pokémon so they may ultimately capture all the world's Pokémon, Miror B. collects any Shadow Pokémon [[Michael]] fails to Snag during the game so they can be captured later.

Cipher makes their return in an attack on the [[S.S. Libra]] using [[XD001]], a Shadow {{p|Lugia}}. A group of Cipher Peons led by [[Naps]] attacks the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]] shortly afterward to abduct [[Professor Krane]], whose research on the [[Purify Chamber]] represents a threat to the organization's plans. Michael sets out to save Krane, in the process encountering a street thug named [[Zook]] and the mysterious [[Mr. Verich]] in [[Gateon Port]], where [[Ardos]], one of Verich's bodyguards, protects Michael and [[Jovi]] from Zook's Shadow {{p|Zangoose}}. Michael eventually discovers that Krane is held at Ein's old laboratory, which has been reactivated by Cipher. While searching the lab, Michael overhears the scientists talking about Cipher's leader [[Greevil]] visiting them, enraged over a failure of XD001's. After freeing Krane, Michael confronts Lovrina and defeats her, and the pair escape back to the lab with a Data ROM of Cipher's plans.

Krane dispatches Michael to [[Pyrite Town]] to meet with [[Nett]] of the anti-Cipher [[ONBS]] news network. Cipher attacks ONBS while Michael is off visiting [[Duking]] at the [[Poké Spot]]s to recover the Data ROM, and Commander [[Exol]] has ONBS's servers wiped to prevent the information contained on it from leaking. This does not prevent Nett from learning that the Data ROM contained intelligence on a Cipher plot to attack [[Phenac City]], where ONBS reporter [[Marcia]] has already gone. Michael travels to Phenac City only to discover that Cipher's operation has already begun, and most of the city's residents have been replaced with Cipher soldiers. In the abandoned Phenac Stadium, Michael finds Snattle holding Marcia and [[Cameran]] hostage, demanding they hand over their news footage, as it would damage his image as the governor Cipher intends to install to rule Orre when their plans are complete. Snattle's defeat is recorded by Marcia and Cameran and subsequently broadcast by ONBS as a warning to the region that Cipher has returned after their defeat five years ago. Michael, meanwhile, discovers the reason for Cipher's attack on Phenac City: the residents saw Cipher vehicles visiting a spot deep in the desert and engaging in suspicious activity.

Michael visits the site and discovers it is the S.S. Libra, dropped in the desert by XD001 following its hijacking. Gorigan and his men have been raiding the ship, kidnapping its Pokémon for conversion into Shadow Pokémon. After being sidetracked when the remnants of Team Snagem steal his Snag Machine, Michael pursues Gorigan to the Cipher Key Lair and infiltrates it with the aid of Gonzap and Team Snagem, who now oppose Cipher as well. At the top of the factory, Michael battles and defeats Gorigan, only for Mr. Verich to appear via video screen and reveal himself as Greevil, Cipher's Grand Master. Greevil challenges Michael to come to [[Citadark Isle]], where Cipher's fortress is located, for a final showdown.

With the aid of [[Dr. Kaminko]] and his [[Robo Kyogre]], Michael navigates the treacherous waters around Citadark Isle and reaches the facility, where he battles through an army of Cipher members as well as Lovrina, Snattle, and Gorigan. At the summit, Michael battles Ardos and [[Eldes]], Greevil's bodyguards, before reaching the Grand Master himself. Greevil summons XD001 to do battle with Michael, bragging that it is the first of a planned army of Shadow Pokémon that cannot be purified, which Greevil intends to use to take over the world without having to rely on humans. Upon Michael defeating or Snagging XD001, Greevil attacks him in a rage, only to lose the subsequent battle despite having an entire party of Shadow Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]]. Outraged at these events, Ardos demands that Greevil order the detonation of Citadark Isle to kill Michael, while they escape in a helicopter to resurrect Cipher elsewhere. Greevil hesitates, realizing that this would destroy all of their followers and data, but Ardos tells him such things can be replaced. Eldes intervenes and appeals to Greevil's humanity by addressing him as "father," enraging Ardos, who rejects seeing Greevil as anything other than the Grand Master, even further. His son's pleas get through to Greevil and he agrees to surrender to the police, but Ardos continues to refuse to accept this and leaves. Eldes approaches Michael and tells him that there will be no further threats from Cipher.

After collecting all of the other Shadow Pokémon, Michael tracks the last — a {{p|Dragonite}} stolen earlier by Miror B. — to Gateon Lighthouse and Snags it, ending the threat to Orre. The Cipher Admins go to [[Orre Colosseum]] and become professional trainers in earnest as they try to move on with their lives, with Lovrina intending to start her own fan club, Snattle continuing his ambitions to become governor through legitimate means, Gorigan becoming Michael's friend, and Eldes competing with Michael as a rival. Ardos, however, continues to refuse to give up on Cipher even as he battles at the Colosseum, swearing that he will one day resurrect the organization again and warning Michael that he will always be under surveillance as Cipher's biggest enemy.

==Trivia==
* Cipher has similar plans to [[Team Dim Sun]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. Both of them have an undercover boss playing a major role in the region ([[Blake Hall]] as President of Altru and [[Es Cade]] as Mayor of Phenac City), both build a tower as part of their plans ([[Altru Tower]] and [[Realgam Tower]]), and make Pokémon effectively become mind-controlled slaves ([[Gigaremo units]] and [[Shadow Pokémon]]). Also, they are final bosses of their respective games, and can be re-battled at will.
* Cipher also has similar plans to [[Team Rocket]]. Both either stole Pokémon personally or were otherwise involved in Pokémon theft, both had plans for world domination involving Pokémon, both leaders also had a respectable and unassuming position in the first city visited by the player ([[Giovanni]] was the Gym Leader of Viridian City, whereas Evice was the Mayor of Phenac City).
* It is implied that Cipher may operate in regions other than [[Orre]], as in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], it is stated that Evice was merely the head of Cipher's Orre operations. These international operations, if they exist, have not been further elaborated upon.

== Etymology ==
To cipher means to conceal, which may be a reference to how the identity of the true leader of Cipher is concealed.

HoennMaster: /* Gallery */

{{incomplete|needs=Needs Gen VIII information}}
[[File:Trainer Card Y.png|thumb|250px|A Trainer Card in {{game|Yellow}}]]
The '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーカード''' ''Trainer Card'', or '''{{j|Trainer's Card}}''') is the screen that displays information about a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon games]].

It shows basic information such as the Trainer name, the [[Trainer ID number]], the player's [[gender]], the amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] carried, the total gameplay time attained so far, the number of [[Badge]]s obtained, and the number of Pokémon the player has seen or caught in their [[Pokédex]].

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Trainer Cards are replaced by [[League Card]]s.

==Terminology==
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]]–[[Generation VI|VI]], this is shown as the player name in the [[menu]].
** In [[Generation I]], this screen is referred to as '''Name''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|名前|なまえ}}''' ''Player's Name'') in the game manuals.
** In [[Generation II|Generations II]]–{{gen|III}}, this screen is referred to as '''Your Name''' in the game manuals.
** In [[Generation III]], the text '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーカード''' ''Trainer Card'') appears on the card.
** In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]]–{{gen|V}}, the text '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''{{j|Trainer's Card}}''') appears on the card.
** In {{g|X and Y}}, the text '''Trainer Information''' appears on the card. The same English text is also used in the Japanese version of these games.
*** It is referred to as '''Trainer's Info''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|情報|じょうほう}}''' ''Protagonist Information'') in the game manuals.
** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, no identifying text appears on the card.
*** It is referred to as '''Trainer Card''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|主人公|しゅじんこう}}の{{tt|情報|じょうほう}}''' ''Protagonist Information'') in the game manuals.
* In [[Generation VII]], this is shown in the menu as the '''Trainer Passport''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーパス''' ''Trainer Pass''). The Trainer name is not shown in the menu anymore.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it is referred to as '''Trainer Card''' in the menu.

In {{game|Emerald}}, a player can upgrade their Trainer Card to a '''Frontier Pass''' (Japanese: '''フロンティアパス''' ''Frontier Pass'') upon reaching the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. The usual Trainer Card is visibly shown stored inside the Frontier Pass.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}, the Trainer Card and the player's badges are stored in the '''Trainer Case'''.<ref>'''[[Gym guide]]''', [[Sunyshore City]]: ''"Let me check out your Trainer Case. Let’s see how many Badges you have."'' ({{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}})</ref><ref>'''[[Gym guide]]''', [[Sunyshore City]]: ''"Let me check out your Trainer Case and see how many Badges you have..."'' ({{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}})</ref>

==In the games==
===All generations===
Starting in [[Generation I]], all generations include an image of the [[player character]] and the following information:

* '''Player name'''
* '''Money'''
* '''Time played'''
* '''List of badges'''

In Generation I, the [[Trainer ID number]] is not shown here, unlike later games. The ID number can be seen on the [[Party|summary]] of each Pokémon instead.

Starting in [[Generation II]], all generations include this information:

* '''[[Trainer ID number]]'''
* '''[[Pokédex]]''':
** This is the number of [[Caught Pokémon|captured]] Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and [[Generation VII]] games.
** This is the number of seen Pokémon instead, in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] games.

===Generation I===
In Generation I, the Trainer Card initially displays the faces of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, except [[Giovanni]]'s face is obscured as a silhouette with a question mark "?".

In the Japanese games of this generation, the names of all Gym Leaders are also written above their faces (each Japanese name consisting of exactly three katakana characters), except Giovanni's name is written as "---". In the international versions of these games, the Gym Leader names are not written on the Trainer Card, possibly owing to the longer English names.

When the player obtains a Badge, the respective Gym Leader face is permanently replaced by the Badge, and their name (in Japanese games) disappears as well.

===Generation II===
In Generation II, the Trainer Card initially displays the faces of the eight [[Johto]] [[Gym Leaders]]. The [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders are not shown on the Trainer Card.

In the Japanese and Korean games of this generation, the names of all Johto Gym Leaders are also written above their faces (each Japanese name consisting of exactly three katakana characters). In the international versions of these games, the Gym Leader names are not written on the Trainer Card, possibly owing to the longer English names.

When the player obtains a Badge, it appears together with the Gym Leader face. Unlike the previous generation, their faces and names (the latter in Japanese and Korean games) remain permanently displayed on the Trainer Card.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], the card can be flipped to the back, and it includes data such as:
* '''First Hall of Fame'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Hall of Fame Debut'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of gameplay time that it took for the player to enter the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time.
* '''Link Cable Battles'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Link Battles'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}: The number of times that the player has participated in link battles, including the amounts of wins and losses incurred.
* '''Pokémon Trades''': The number of times that the player has [[trade]]d Pokémon with other players.
* '''Pokéblocks with Friends'''{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of [[Pokéblocks]] that have been produced with other players.
* '''Contests with Friends'''{{sup/3|RS}}/'''Won Contests with Friends'''{{sup/3|E}}: The amount of [[Pokémon Contest]]s with other players in which the player won 1st place.
* '''Battle Tower & Straight Wins'''{{sup/3|RS}}: The number of battles won within the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}, including the player's best streak (amount of matches won consecutively).
* '''Union Trades & Battles'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}: The number of times that the player has participated in trades and battles in the Union Room.
* '''Berry Crush'''{{sup/3|FRLG}}: The number of times that the player has participated in the [[Berry Crush]] at the Direct Corner.
* '''Battle Points Won'''{{sup/3|E}}: The total amount of accumulated Battle Points ever earned by the player to date (excluding any payout Battle Points obtained from the Hoenn Battle Frontier's [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Betting man|betting man]] or from Scott).

In Generation III, the [[Pokémon Center]] for [[Petalburg City]] and [[Pewter City]] contains an NPC who will let players put key words on their Trainer Cards.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a Trainer's [[party]] could be [[Photography|photographed]] via the Pokémon Printer within the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]] and put on the back of the Trainer Card as well (for a fee of {{pdollar}}50 per photo). There are four different color options available:
* '''Normal''': Party Pokémon are displayed with their normal colors.
* '''Black''': Party Pokémon are displayed as silhouettes, entirely colored in black.
* '''Pink''': Party Pokémon are displayed with pink hues.
* '''Sepia''': Party Pokémon are displayed in a gray-scale fashion, only utilizing the colors of black, white, and gray.

[[Trainer Card level]]s were also introduced in Generation III, and the Trainer Card changes color and gains an additional star according the number of special achievements completed.

====Frontier Pass====
[[File:Frontier Pass E.png|thumb|100px|Frontier Pass]]
In {{game|Emerald}}, a player can upgrade their Trainer Card to a '''Frontier Pass''' (Japanese: '''フロンティアパス''' ''Frontier Pass'') upon reaching the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. The Frontier Pass shows a player's [[Symbol]]s and [[Battle Point]]s, allows players to view a map of the Battle Frontier, view a recorded match saved at a Battle Frontier facility except for the [[Battle Pike]] and [[Battle Pyramid]], or look at the standard Trainer Card.

Upon the player's first entry into Hoenn's Battle Frontier, their Trainer Card will be upgraded into a Frontier Pass by a woman at the entrance. This pass holds the Trainer Card, as well as a small map of the Battle Frontier and the player's records with the Frontier. Saved-up [[Battle Point]]s, or BP, are listed, as are any of the seven [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] the player has won. One {{pkmn|battle}} from within one of the facilities (or one link battle with other players also using Emerald) may be recorded and stored on the Frontier Pass, which may be watched or overwritten with another at any time.

===Generation IV===
Timestamps are now used in the [[Generation IV]] Trainer Cards, whereby the date which the game began and the date and time at which the Elite Four were defeated was also added. A small drawing area was also included at the back of the card to allow the Trainer to add their signature.

Utilizing the dual screens of the [[Nintendo DS]], the earned Badges are now displayed separately from the Trainer Card. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a Badge case was added where Trainers could polish their Badges using the stylus and by touching the Badges they would play a musical note in a C major scale. As the Badges gradually grow dull over time due to the lack of shine, the pitch will change depending on the 'cleanliness' of the Badge. A dull Badge will play a lower note than it would if it were sparkling.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Badges are displayed at the upper screen of the Nintendo DS instead. Unlike {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player is able to sign their Trainer Card without having to go to a [[Pokémon Center]].

When communicating in the [[Union Room]], players can have the option of viewing each other's Trainer Card. However, the other player's picture will change to an in-game {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} of their gender. The Trainer class can be changed by talking to a man in the [[Oreburgh City]] [[Pokémon Center]] or the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], the Badges are now shown on a separate screen from the Trainer Card. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Badges can be polished by the stylus and the picture of the corresponding [[Gym Leader]] will light up as the Badges become more shiny. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the Badges can no longer be polished using the stylus.

The Trainer Card now has added features to it. The front of the card allows the player to change their Trainer class and [[Nature]] by tapping with the stylus, while the bottom allows a greeting to be entered which will be used when communicating with other Trainers via [[C-Gear]] wireless.

The back of the card is divided into two sections: the top keeps track of the player's playtime, the first [[Hall of Fame]] debut and a list of other records which include the number of times the player won, lost or traded with other people, the number of {{pkmn|Musical}}s participated, the number of [[Entralink#List of Pass Powers|Pass Powers]] obtained, and the {{DL|Nimbasa City|Battle Institute}} and [[Poké Transfer]] high scores. The bottom half of the card allows the player to draw or sign with added functions such as zoom and erase, or even create a 2-frame animation with two halves of the box.

Stars are no longer displayed after increasing the [[Trainer Card level]], but the color of the card will still change when the player has completed certain achievements.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], the Trainer Card is changed and divided into two screens: the top contains the {{player}}'s name, their ID number, a number of Pokémon the player saw, their money, their [[Poké Mile]]s, the player's playtime to keep track on, the day that the player first started their adventure, and the first entrance into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The bottom screen has Badges but no longer plays a musical note.

===Generation VII===
[[File:Key Trainer Passport Sprite.png|thumb|100px|Trainer Passport obtain sprite]]
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, the Trainer Card is replaced with a '''Trainer Passport''' (Japanese: '''トレーナーパス''' ''Trainer Pass''). It contains the same [[player character|player]]'s information found in Trainer Cards from previous games. Unlike previous games, the Trainer Passport is not immediately obtained at the start of the game, but instead is obtained just after the player chooses their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Whereas previous games also displayed the player's earned Badges and [[Trainer Card level]], the Passport records these as [[#Stamps|stamps]] on different pages of the Passport instead. The player is also able to change their Passport portrait at any time.

In {{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the Trainer card is not present as a separate [[menu]] entry but can be seen when the [[save]] entry is selected. It shows the player's and {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|partner}}'s current appearance, player's name and ID no., number of Pokémon registered in the Pokédex, amount of money the player has, play time, the date the current adventure was started, and the [[badge]]s obtained along with an image of the [[Gym Leader]].

===Generation VIII===
The Trainer Card is absent in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, instead being replaced by the [[League Card]], which performs similar functions.

The Trainer Card returns in {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, with a similar design to its [[Generation IV]] counterpart, albeit the back of the card no longer displaying a place for the player to draw their signature and displaying Contest statistics.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Trainer Card is again not a separate menu item and can be seen in the save entry. It shows the player's initial appearance, player's name, number of Pokémon registered in the Pokédex, play time, the current time and in-game location, icons of the [[Noble Pokémon]] calmed by the player, and the player's [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|Galaxy Team rank]] and benefits.

===Generation IX===
In {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Trainer Card is replaced by the Profile App in the [[Rotom Phone]]. Both the profile picture and Trainer icon can be updated freely by taking photos with the [[Photography|camera]] app. The initial screen of the app includes data such as:
* '''Badges''': The number of [[Badge]]s obtained by the player.
* '''Shiny Pokémon Battled''': The number of [[Shiny Pokémon]] the player has registered in their [[Pokédex]]. This does not include Pokémon seen in multiplayer battles.
* '''Recipes Collected''': The number [[Sandwich]] Recipes the player has collected.

By choosing to "Change View," a second screen appears with the following data:
* '''Enrollment Date''': The date the player began the game.
* '''Money''': The amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] the player currently has.
* '''League Points''': The amount of [[League Point]]s the player currently has.
* '''Gym Badge Effects''': The effects the player receives based on the number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] acquired.
* The player's current party is also shown as menu sprites on the left.

==Applications==
===Level===
{{main|Trainer Card level}}
Trainer Card levels were introduced in [[Generation III]], and increase when specific achievements are performed. The Trainer Card changes color depending on the number of achievements completed, which may be done in any order. In Generations III and [[Generation IV|IV]], as well as [[Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], each achievement also grants an additional star.

===Score===
In [[Generation IV]], the Trainer Card also carries the Trainer's score. It serves no specific purpose beyond being shown on the player's Trainer Card in the overworld and in the [[Underground]]. The score begins at zero and increases every time a score-altering event occurs. The maximum score value possible is 99,999,999.

===Stickers===
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Braggart on {{OBP|Four Island|town}} hands out Stickers to Trainers who tell him about their achievements. The Stickers are applied to the back of the Trainer Card, in the top-left, and are colored red, blue, yellow, or gray (depending on the number of times that the player has made that particular achievement).

Trainer Cards do not appear in {{aniseries|PTS}}; Trainers are instead identified via their [[Pokédex]]es. Each has another license, called the [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. Applicants must be 10 years of age or older to obtain these licenses. Trainers keep their [[Badge]]s pinned on their clothing or in protected cases.

In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', Ash obtained the Frontier Pass, referred to as the "Frontierfolio", from [[Noland]] as a case to hold his [[Symbol|Frontier Symbols]] in.

(Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエピソード：メガシンカ''' ''Pocket Monsters Episode: Mega Evolution'') is a three-episode special arc of {{aniseries|HZ}} that aired from October 10, 2025, to October 24, 2025, coinciding with the release of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. These episodes focus on [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] and their journey to master [[Mega Evolution]], serving as a flashback arc that explores their past encounters with the powerful transformation. The episodes will also feature [[Emma]], a resident of [[Lumiose City]], and [[Master Mayonnaise]], a mysterious man in armor.

The arc was announced on August 22, 2025, and will air in Japan for three consecutive weeks starting October 10, 2025, on [[TV Tokyo]]. The episodes take place during the one-year timeskip between the ''[[Rayquaza Rising]]'' and ''[[Mega Voltage]]'' arcs, and are primarily set in Lumiose City in the [[Kalos]] region, with the [[Prism Tower]] serving as a prominent location in the trailer. The theme song for the arc is [[YUU]], performed by {{wp|Yuzu (band)|Yuzu}}, who previously performed [[GET BACK]] for the ''Mega Voltage'' arc.

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Synopsis of entire arc needed}}
The arc takes place one year after the events at Laqua, with [[Liko]] attending [[Indigo Academy]] while [[Roy]] continues his adventures with [[Captain Pikachu]]. When Roy discovers information about Pokémon exhibiting abnormal behavior, he begins investigating, while being followed by [[Ult]] and his {{p|Sableye}}. The investigation reveals that Laquium, which was supposedly eliminated, is causing Pokémon to go berserk, including a {{p|Slaking}} that Roy and Ult witness in the forest. The arc also features the aftermath of the [[Explorers]] and the [[Six Heroes]], as Liko and Roy reunite for a new adventure alongside [[Dot]] and their new companion Ult.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Picking up from where the [[HZ099|last episode]] left off, the two [[Explorers]], [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], begin the {{pkmn|battle}} by having their respective {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} attack. The children's Pokémon dodge, but the two Tauros manage to land [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] {{m|Raging Bull}} attacks on [[Liko's Meowscarada]] and [[Roy's Crocalor]]. [[Dot]] notices how their opponents did not call out any moves, much like [[HZ097|the battle]] with [[Stunner Fisk]]. [[Dot's Quaxwell]] and [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}} try to attack, but are immediately pushed back thanks to the [[Laquium]] in the [[Strong Sphere]]s enhancing the capabilities of the two Tauros. Meowscarada uses {{m|Magical Leaf}} on the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Aqua Breed}} Tauros. However, it is intercepted by the {{form|Paldean Tauros|Blaze Breed}} Tauros. Crocalor rushes in to help with {{m|Flame Charge}}, only for the Aqua Breed Tauros to counterattack without a command from its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Crocalor manages to stop himself before the attack could hit as Quaxwell and Sableye save Meowscarada using {{m|Aqua Cutter}} and {{m|Power Gem}}, respectively, to cancel the attack before all four Pokémon retreat to their Trainers' side.

Without a blind spot to exploit, the four Pokémon are forced to dodge another set of Raging Bull attacks. As Dot tries to come up with a plan, Ult has Sableye use {{m|Confuse Ray}} that succeeds in {{status|confusing}} Indi's Tauros, causing it to attack Rubina's Tauros that couldn't dodge despite Rubina calling for it to do so. That moment allowed Dot to realize how the Pokémon had been battling while under the influence of Laquium. She explains how Laquium increases a Pokémon's fighting instincts, but at the cost of no longer being able to respond to orders from their Trainers. With this in mind, when the two Tauros charge in with Raging Bull, Meowscarada and Crocalor dodge in the opposite directions from earlier at the last second. This results in both Tauros hitting each other and becoming disoriented. The four Pokémon seize the opportunity and successfully defeat the two {{pkmn|category|Wild Bull Pokémon}}.

As the Explorers were shocked at their defeat, [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] rebuke them by saying their Strong Spheres could never overcome the bond between a Pokémon and their Trainer, forcing the Explorers and [[Exceed]] employees to leave [[Karna's Poké Ball factory]] without the Strong Sphere shells. Inside her factory, [[Karna]] promises to dispose the shells she made, but points out it wouldn't make much of a difference if her factory wasn't the only one commissioned to make the shells. Liko and the others are determined to stop Strong Spheres from being released to the public. [[Orla]] asks to help them as watching their battle earlier made her remember [[Friede]] would never let this run on, and becomes inspired to adventure as a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] once more, making the kids happy to have her join them. Orla asks for three days to ensure the [[Brave Olivine]] is in perfect condition while her Pokémon and the kids offer their own help.
[[File:Liko team HZ100.png|thumb|left|250px|Liko and her Pokémon helping clean the Brave Olivine]]
Three days later, the airship is ready to take off for the skies again. The kids are eager to board, but Orla stops them, revealing she has more good news while turning behind her. [[Mollie]], [[Murdock]], and their Pokémon step out from the bushes, explaining how Orla had told them about the Brave Olivine being restored and got the approval from their respective workplaces to rejoin the group. [[Ludlow]] wasn't informed because he didn't have a [[Rotom Phone]], but to everyone's shock, he is already sitting on his usual place on the Brave Olivine after "hearing from the waves" about the Brave Olivine's upcoming departure. Orla asks on the behalf of the adults present to join the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed by the kids, which they belatedly agree to. Ult also declares he's going to join their team, wanting to take up the position as captain. While he was disappointed to find out [[Captain Pikachu]] has already been designated captain, everyone else doesn't mind letting Ult join the team.

The newly reformed Rising Volt Tacklers settle into their old positions on the airship, including Dot who is booting up the team app's server. When it finishes booting up, Dot notices an encrypted voice message was received from an unknown address a month ago. She successfully decrypts the message and plays it, sending the original Rising Volt Tacklers into disbelief when Friede's voice is heard in the message. Once they calm down, Dot plays the message again, where Friede reveals both he and his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} are doing well after being blown off the ship [[HZ089|during the events at Laqua]]. He apologizes for not being able to send a message sooner due to the Explorers watching him and asks they look after themselves until he returns while he does his own investigation into the Laquium. Everyone decides to not only celebrate their reunion, but also Friede's survival. Karna sees Orla off while they thank each other for the past year. Orla gives Karna a {{i|Poké Ball}} she made. While not as good at the one she usually makes, Karna compliments it as a unique Poké Ball that only Orla could make and promises to cherish it much like Orla did with the Poké Ball [[HZ029|she received from Karna]]. When the Brave Olivine finally sets sail for the first time in a year, Roy suggests doing something, which Liko and Dot agree to as Ult becomes bewildered. On the wing deck, Liko leads the Rising Volt Tacklers as they do their signature handshake.

Meanwhile, at Exceed, Indi and Rubina report their failure to [[Spinel]], who excuses them since failure is expected from time to time. Instead, he asks the two keep up with their missions for the Explorers before they leave. Hearing about the Rising Volt Tacklers being active again, Spinel plots to get rid of them again.

==Plot==
Arriving at a train station to find [[Roy]], [[Ult]] finds him with the help of a passerby. To Ult's shock, Roy is not alone, as he spots him with an unknown girl. Meanwhile, [[Liko]] and Roy, unaware of Ult nearby, contact [[Dot]] for more information about the next [[Laquium]] sighting before heading to the site of the next Laquium sighting to begin their investigation. Once there, {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} search from the sky as Liko, Roy, and their remaining Pokémon search on the ground. Stopping for a brief moment, Liko reminisces the [[Tera Training]] they went through the year before as Dot wonders about [[Pagogo]]. Liko sadly informs Dot it hasn't left its {{i|Poké Ball}} since leaving [[Laqua]] but cheers up when Dot points out {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}'s ease with Pagogo's Poké Ball. Just then, Roy spots some Pokémon running away and he, [[Captain Pikachu]], and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} go in the opposite direction to find the terrain filled with holes. Cap feels someone watching them, and when he turns around, misses Ult and {{p|Sableye}}, who fall into one of the holes. Above ground, Liko and Roy investigate the holes and find more pink mist, which Dot reveals they have been calling such proof as "Laquium Signs". Below ground, after falling down a hole, Ult moves further into the tunnel, only to find a {{p|Steelix}} acting just like the {{p|Slaking}} [[HZ090|he encountered before]]. The {{pkmn|category|Iron Snake Pokémon}} notices Ult and suddenly bursts through the ground above. Liko, Roy, and Dot are surprised by Steelix and make a quick retreat when it suddenly attacks them.

Forced to battle, the two quickly find out physical attacks are not as effective due to Steelix's high Defense and that they have difficulty pinning it down thanks to the holes it made. As such, Dot has Roy send Crocalor and Kilowattrel to attack from the sky while Lucario and {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} try to make an opening for Crocalor. With Lucario's [[Aura]], it points Meowscarada to the hole where Steelix is likely to appear and she manages to hold it down when it appears. Spotting Crocalor getting ready to attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}, Steelix counters with an attack of its own, only for Hattrem and Cap to stop the attack. Meowscarada loses her grip on Steelix as the latter retreats into the hole once more. Roy forces Steelix to come out of hiding by having the two Pokémon in the sky use {{m|Uproar}} and {{m|Disarming Voice}} into the same hole it retreated into earlier. Once it comes out, Crocalor tries to use Flamethrower again but a sneak attack from the side sends Crocalor and Kilowattrel to the ground as another Laquium-infected Steelix reveals itself, surprising the group.

Using {{m|Sand Tomb}} to attack Crocalor and Kilowattrel, Liko, Roy, and Dot are further shocked by the power of Steelix's attack, attributing the cause to be the Laquium. As Cap goes to save the two Pokémon trapped in Sand Tomb, Meowscarada and Lucario are targeted by Steelix. Before one of them could successfully attack Meowscarada, she is saved by Sableye, with Ult appearing from a hole, to Roy's surprise. Ult notes the severity of the situation before he and Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sableye and Lucario, respectively. The two Mega Pokémon land successive attacks on each Steelix before the two appear to be cornered. At the last second, they dodge the upcoming attack from both Steelix, causing both Laquium-infected Pokémon to hit Sableye's gem. Cap comes up with Crocalor and Kilowattrel and Roy has Crocalor use Flamethrower, this time successfully landing the attack.

Unfortunately, when the smoke clears, both Steelix are attacking each other, unable to tell each other from friend or foe due to the Laquium. [[HZ089|Recalling what happened]] on Laqua, Liko desperately tries to stop them from fighting, but when attacks from both Steelix nearly hit her and her Pokémon, the three are saved by a protective barrier put up by Pagogo, who awakens from its Poké Ball. Pagogo then {{a|Tera Shift|tranforms}} into its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}} to purify both Steelix of the Laquium before Hattrem heals them with {{m|Heal Pulse}}. Roy and Dot are relieved to see Pagogo awake while Liko happily greets Pagogo. Roy then introduces Ult to Liko, who thanks him for saving Meowscarada earlier. After stopping Sableye from eating Pagogo, Liko asks Roy and Ult about Mega Evolution, which Nidothing explains in a video. Ult chastises Roy for abandoning him in the forest but Roy realizes Ult had been following him, which he denies before declaring the [[Black Rayquaza]] would be his. Roy drags Liko away during Ult's monologue, not desiring to bring him along their journey, to Ult's frustration at being left behind once more.

At the [[Explorers]] base, [[Hamber]] meets with [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]]. The two agents lament their inability to protect their boss, who is now missing, and are prepared to take accountability for their actions. To their surprise, Hamber does not reprimand them. Hamber reveals to the two that after the events in Laqua, [[Spinel]] made a report claiming that [[Amethio]] had betrayed [[Gibeon]] and that he had also perished, but neither him nor his father [[Cervantis]] believed the report. He then takes out a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the lone [[Zygarde Cell]], demonstrating how the cube works. Hamber assigns them a new task - to find the rest of the [[White Zygarde]] and Amethio without letting Spinel know what they were up to before it's too late.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
Resuming from the [[HZ090|previous episode]], [[Roy]] and [[Captain Pikachu]] arrive at [[Indigo Academy]] thanks to [[Roy's Kilowattrel]]. Roy reveals he has something to tell [[Liko]] but is unable to due to the arrival of some students, including [[Ann]], who greets Roy happily. The two girls bring Roy around the school before they settle in the cafeteria, where Liko and Roy reveal what happened with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to Ann. After [[HZ089|escaping from]] [[Laqua]], they tried to search for their [[Friede|lost member]] but were unable to find him, with [[Exceed]] sealing off [[Mount Pericarp]], preventing them from searching further. Upon further discussion, the Rising Volt Tacklers agreed to disband, causing Ann to sympathize with Liko. Roy then reveals he had been training in [[Kalos]] before being interrupted by some students, who wanted to speak with Ann. As Ann leaves, Roy tells Liko about Dot contacting him to investigate a peculiar Pokémon that exuded pink mist, stunning Liko. She is in disbelief as [[Pagogo]] had purified Laqua of [[Laquium]] that time. Hence, Roy asks for Liko's help, but she is unable to, especially since Pagogo hadn't awakened since it returned to its Poké Ball. Roy takes the rejection in good stride and Ann returns to find them in an awkward tension. She suggests a {{pkmn|battle}} to cheer them up, but [[Liko's Meowscarada]] disappeared during their discussion, so Roy and Ann head to the courtyard first while Liko searches for her partner with {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy and Ann having a battle]]
In the courtyard, Ann and Roy begin to battle, with {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} sending a {{m|Flash Cannon}} that is overpowered by {{p|Samurott}}'s {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Lucario dodges the attack and returns with {{m|Metal Claw}}. Samurott stops the attack with {{m|Razor Shell}} and Ann has it use {{m|Drill Run}} next. Unbeknownst to the two, the same students from the cafeteria are wary of Roy being a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. Meanwhile, as more students gather to watch the battle, Liko and Hattrem find Meowscarada on a rooftop, also watching the battle. Liko sees Roy's new partner and becomes crestfallen as she realizes her friends have managed to move on while she is stuck. One of Meowscarada's flowers explodes next to Liko as the {{pkmn|category|Magician Pokémon}} leaps off the rooftop. Back in the battle, the students are amazed by the battle, with some wondering about Roy. Word then gets around about Roy's affiliation, with Liko listening in. Unaware of the ongoing concerns, Lucario connects with its Trainer with [[Aura]], allowing it to dodge Samurott's Drill Run and defeat it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Liko approaches the two and Roy asks to battle her next.

For his next battle, Roy has {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} battle instead and he begins with {{m|Flamethrower}} that Meowscarada evades. Liko has Meowscarada attack with {{m|Flower Trick}}, causing flower bombs to appear in the sky. Meowscarada then catches and starts juggling them, distracting Crocalor which fails to notice one flower bomb still in the air which descends right in front of Crocalor and explodes, causing damage. Crocalor charges in with {{m|Flame Charge}} and Meowscarada avoids it with {{m|Acrobatics}}. Unfortunately another Flame Charge from Crocalor causes some [[Type#Type effectiveness|supereffective]] damage to Meowscarada. She uses Flower Trick to counter, but Roy now knows not to rely on sight and has Crocalor use {{m|Disarming Voice}} to attack all of Meowscarada's flowers at once, forcing them to explode early. Meowscarada tries to land an attack with Acrobatics, but not only did Crocalor evade it, but he retaliates with Flamethrower. The Magician Pokémon throws a smokescreen with one of her flowers to avoid the attack, surprising Liko, whose feelings become in tune with her partner's at that moment. To stop Crocalor from hitting her with Flame Charge, Meowscarada holds Crocalor up in the air with her invisible stem. Unfortunately, Crocalor manages to hit Meowscarada straight on with Flamethrower despite being held in place. At that moment, Roy notices Meowscarada's flower had disappeared, with it reappearing when Liko calls for her Pokémon to use Flower Trick that manages to land some hits. With her confidence restored, Liko and Roy {{Tera}}stallize their Pokémon and launch attacks at each other, with Meowscarada being defeated as the final result.

Once the battle is over, some students approach Roy to clarify his affiliation with the Rising Volt Tacklers. He doesn't deny it, causing the students to ask Liko for an explanation, which she does by confidently introducing herself as a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers. At the bus stop, Roy, Ann, and their Pokémon are waiting for Liko, who was getting ready in her dormitory, when he muses how the school didn't know about the Rising Volt Tacklers. Ann says it's good for Liko to finally let go of her worries after keeping it in for a year, and Roy agrees. Liko then appears with Meowscarada, ready to take back their truth from the [[Explorers]] with Roy. While Ann sees her friends off, Liko remarks she can move forward with her Pokémon by her side as she takes off for her new adventure. Elsewhere, [[Spinel]] watches the captured [[Six Heroes]], minus the [[Black Rayquaza]], as he declares the world will bow before the Explorers.

==Major events==

* [[Roy]] meets [[Ann]] again.
* Roy is revealed to have been {{pkmn|training}} in the [[Kalos]] [[region]] over the past year and obtained his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} there.
* Roy battles Ann and [[Liko]], winning both battles.
* Roy's Lucario is revealed to know {{m|Flash Cannon}}.
* Liko decides to travel with Roy in order to expose the truth about the [[Explorers]] and clear the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' name.
* [[Spinel]] is revealed to have captured and taken the [[Six Heroes]] captive, except for the [[Black Rayquaza]].

[[File:HZ091 Title card.png|thumb|250px|Title card]]
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Roy]] with his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]], and the second features [[Liko]] with her {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}}.
* The title text for this episode in both the original Japanese version and the English dub is shown on screen near the end of the episode, instead of a separate title card segment. Hence, no one reads the title aloud for this episode.
[[File:HZ091 Title card initial TV airing.png|thumb|250px|Title card for the one-hour special]]
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ090|previous episode]].
** The recap was skipped and its background music which played a bit beyond the recap was also cut out.
** The title was directly shown at the end of the special and didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] segment is also present after this episode at the end of the one hour special, but is included with the previous episode for VOD releases.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ091-HZ100)#HZ090 / HZ091 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the school's clock tower.
* For the regular release of this episode:
* The Japanese version uses the regular opening theme ([[GET BACK]]) as the ending theme.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Evolving Again]] as the ending theme with the regular animation sequence.
* Despite animated series staff members working for the studio being credited as animation directors, the studio ''UEC Co., Ltd.'' itself was left uncredited in the ending credits and added into the listing for clarification purposes.
* This episode marks the first time that a main character other than {{Ash}} has been seen using [[Aura]].
* [[Ult]], {{p|Sableye}}, Liko, and Roy narrate the preview for the [[HZ092|next episode]].

===Errors===
*[[Haven Paschall]] is credited as the vocalist for [[Evolving Again]], even though only the instrumental ending version is used for this episode.

'''Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1''' (Japanese: '''大空へ向かって、再び　前編''' ''Once More, To the Skies, Part 1'') is the 90th episode of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', and the 1,322nd episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]].

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
In a forest, [[wild Pokémon]] are watching a wild {{p|Slaking}} warily as it exudes a pink mist. At the same time, [[Dot]] is guiding [[Captain Pikachu]] and [[Roy]] somewhere until Cap notices some [[footprint]]s and the two pursue it. While they are following the footprints, Roy reveals he had been on an adventure to meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] once more when Dot contacted him after a long time, asking him to investigate an abnormality. At that moment, they arrive to find Slaking and find it acting contradatory to what the [[Pokédex]] says, leading Roy to suspect the [[Laquium]] is at work. Wanting to update Dot, Roy is interrupted by [[Ult]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, who cause him to lose sight of the Slaking he was watching a moment ago. Ult tries to declare Rayquaza would be his, but Roy ignores him in favor of finding Slaking and reluctantly lets Ult tag along when he wouldn't leave him alone. From the sky, [[Roy's Kilowattrel]] directs the group to the Slaking from earlier. Unfortunately, because of Sableye, the wild Pokémon turns hostile, forcing them to battle it.

Roy sends Cap out with {{m|Double Team}} and determines Slaking is not acting normal. {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} charges in with {{m|Flame Charge}} but is tossed into the air. Before Slaking's attack hits the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Kilowattrel saves him before the two attack with {{m|Electro Ball}} and {{m|Flamethrower}} respectively, with Sableye following up with {{m|Power Gem}}. Roy notices the other wild Pokémon are in danger because of their battle and sends Kilowattrel and Crocalor to take care of them. While wary of the possibility of the Laquium, Ult snaps Roy out of his depressed thoughts and the latter brings out {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. Roy and Ult [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] their Pokémon into Mega Lucario and Mega Sableye. The two Mega Pokémon and Cap attack Slaking together, but it retaliates with a devastating {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Because of the attack's strength and color, Roy concludes Laquium is definitely involved. Mega Sableye is [[Type#Type effectiveness|unaffected]] by the follow-up Hyper Beam, thanks to its {{t|Ghost}} type, before it and Mega Lucario land more attacks, with Cap finishing it off with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
[[File:Roy and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and Ult talking]]
After the battle, Roy updates Dot on the situation and she agrees with his assessment regarding the involvment of the Laquium, which should have been destroyed by [[Pagogo]] [[HZ089|one year ago]]. Before they can ponder on it further, [[Franka]] enters Dot's room with some {{wp|Pancake|hotcakes}}, forcing Dot to end the call. Roy declares he needs to tell [[Liko|someone]] their adventures aren't over and tells Ult to come out of hiding. While he initially agreed to let Ult join him due to their shared goal with Rayquaza, Roy sneaks away during the night, to Ult's frustration at being abandoned.

At [[Indigo Academy]], a class has finished a lesson and the teacher announces the next lesson would take place in the courtyard. The students run out excitedly, including [[Ann]] and her {{p|Samurott}}. The last student in the classroom, Liko, remarks how they're energetic before she heads off to her next lesson with {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}}. Over the past year, with new students arriving at the school and Ann's skills being acknowledged by not only Indigo Academy but supposedly [[Blueberry Academy]], Liko had adjusted to school life. In their shared dormitory, Liko helps Ann find her toothbrush and remarks on the latter's tendency to put things down without thinking, causing Ann to point out Liko is also unconsciously stroking Pagogo's {{i|Poké Ball}}, with the Tera Pokémon itself not leaving its Poké Ball at all. Ann tries to check in on Liko, but the latter brushes it off. Ann suggests training together tomorrow and Liko agrees. While everyone is sleeping, Liko once again strokes Pagogo's Poké Ball, unaware of Ann being concerned for her.

The next day, Ann watches a Nidothing video, where Nidothing is asking for info on anything unusual, and shows the video to her distracted friend. Liko changes the topic from her not watching Nidothing lately to Ann's idea of training. As their two Pokémon train, Liko clarifies the rumor about Blueberry Academy and Ann confirms it, making Liko happy that her friend is getting closer to her dream while she hasn't made progress since her return. In the cafeteria, Liko overhears two students talking about [[Spinel]]'s interview and the recent incidents being caused by the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]. Ann tries to stop them, but Liko drags her away as no one at school knows Liko is a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers or the events of a year ago. On the rooftop, someone calls out to Liko, and she is surprised to see Roy and Cap heading her way.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ090 Title card.png|thumb|250px|Title card]]
* [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]]: {{p|Lucario}}
* The first [[List of Pokémon Horizons: The Series eyecatches|eyecatch]] features [[Roy]] with his {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}, {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and [[Captain Pikachu]], and the second features [[Ult]] and his {{p|Sableye}}.
** Starting from this episode, the [[eyecatch]]es in {{aniseries|HZ}} feature the Trainer's entire party, instead of only one of their Pokémon.
* This is the first episode of the ''[[Mega Voltage]]'' chapter.
* This is the season premiere of [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 3—Rising Hope]].
* The title text for this episode in both the original Japanese version and the English dub is shown on screen near the end of the episode, instead of a separate title card segment. Hence, no one reads the title aloud for this episode.
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ091|next episode]].
** The end credits, the "To Be Continued" text, and the next episode preview were not present at the end of the episode.
** The title was directly shown at the end of the special and didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution segment is also present after the next episode at the end of the one hour special, but is included after this episode for VOD releases.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ091-HZ100)#HZ090 / HZ091 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the school's clock tower.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The Japanese release uses generic animated series music during the ending credits, with the credits appearing on a black split screen, with scenes from the episode playing on the other side.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Evolving Again]] as the ending theme with the regular animation sequence.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** A {{p|Cacturne}} appears in the {{pkmn|animated series}} other than [[Harley's Cacturne|the one that belongs to]] [[Harley]].
*** This is also the first appearance of a Cacturne in the animated series since ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', 861 episodes earlier.
** A {{p|Prinplup}} appears after {{aniseries|DP}}, since ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', 733 episodes earlier.
* [[Roy]] narrates the preview for the [[HZ091|next episode]].


===Errors===
*[[Haven Paschall]] is credited as the vocalist for [[Evolving Again]], even though only the instrumental ending version is used for this episode.

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

[[File:Dragonite pearl Hyper Beam.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite/> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is battling.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Dragonite] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ107]], Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in [[HZ111]], Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through mountains, causing significant destruction in the process.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite's benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s. Physically, Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}, but its design also parallels giant monsters from {{wp|kaijū}} films.

Dragonite’s evolutionary line may have been inspired by the life cycle of Chinese dragons described in the Shi Yi Ji: “A water snake (shui hui, 水虺) after five hundred years transforms into a jiao (蛟); a jiao, after a thousand years, becomes a {{wp|Chinese dragon|long}} (龍); a long, after five hundred years, becomes a jiaolong (角龍, ‘horned dragon’); and after a thousand years, it transforms into a {{wp|yinglong}} (應龍).”<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924021444728/page/2/mode/2up Visser, Marinus Willern de (1913). The Dragon in China and Japan. p.72]</ref> In this context, Dragonite may have been inspired by the Yinglong, a winged dragon and rain deity from ancient Chinese mythology, regarded as the final stage in the evolution of dragons.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%9C%80%E7%BB%88%E4%B9%8B%E9%BE%99 最终之龙]</ref> The Yinglong, symbolizing both the sea and war, was depicted as an emblem on the flag of the former Coast Guard Command<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E5%B2%B8%E5%B7%A1%E9%98%B2%E5%8F%B8%E4%BB%A4%E9%83%A8#/media/File:Republic_of_China_Coast_Guard_(ROCCG)_Flag.svg ROCCGC Flag]</ref> of the {{wp|Taiwan (Republic of China)}} and is currently featured on the flag of the {{wp|Coast Guard Administration}}.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%A8%99%E8%AA%8C 標誌]</ref> This symbolic association may have influenced the descriptions of Dragonite in its Pokédex entries.

Due its coloration, it is possibly that Dragonite might be inspired by {{wp|Yellow Dragon|Huanglong}}, the Yellow Dragon. In Chinese cosmology, Huanglong represents the center and is associated with the Yellow Emperor.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Dragonite pearl Hyper Beam.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite/> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is battling.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Dragonite] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ107]], Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in [[HZ111]], Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through mountains, causing significant destruction in the process.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

===Cultural impact===
The design of Dragonite has been compared by Chinese Pokémon fans to the {{wp|Moomins}}, a Finnish story series. The phrase 快龍就是嚕嚕米 ''Kuailong jiùshì Lǔlǔmǐ'' (lit. "Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite's benevolent behavior and its description as the "guardian of the sea" may suggest inspiration from {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s. Physically, Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}, but its design also parallels giant monsters from {{wp|kaijū}} films.

Dragonite’s evolutionary line may have been inspired by the life cycle of Chinese dragons described in the Shi Yi Ji: “A water snake (shui hui, 水虺) after five hundred years transforms into a jiao (蛟); a jiao, after a thousand years, becomes a {{wp|Chinese dragon|long}} (龍); a long, after five hundred years, becomes a jiaolong (角龍, ‘horned dragon’); and after a thousand years, it transforms into a {{wp|yinglong}} (應龍).”<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924021444728/page/2/mode/2up Visser, Marinus Willern de (1913). The Dragon in China and Japan. p.72]</ref> In this context, Dragonite may have been inspired by the Yinglong, a winged dragon and rain deity from ancient Chinese mythology, regarded as the final stage in the evolution of dragons.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%9C%80%E7%BB%88%E4%B9%8B%E9%BE%99 最终之龙]</ref> The Yinglong, symbolizing both the sea and war, was depicted as an emblem on the flag of the former Coast Guard Command<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E5%B2%B8%E5%B7%A1%E9%98%B2%E5%8F%B8%E4%BB%A4%E9%83%A8#/media/File:Republic_of_China_Coast_Guard_(ROCCG)_Flag.svg ROCCGC Flag]</ref> of the {{wp|Taiwan (Republic of China)}} and is currently featured on the flag of the {{wp|Coast Guard Administration}}.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%A8%99%E8%AA%8C 標誌]</ref> This symbolic association may have influenced the descriptions of Dragonite in its Pokédex entries.

Due its coloration, it is possibly that Dragonite might be inspired by {{wp|Yellow Dragon|Huanglong}}, the Yellow Dragon. In Chinese cosmology, Huanglong represents the center and is associated with the Yellow Emperor.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

Across the [[History of Pokémon|history of the franchise]], several '''new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}''', also described in official media as '''newly discovered Pokémon''' and '''never-before-seen Pokémon''', have been revealed in various ways before becoming available in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}.

Many Pokémon first appeared in the [[Pokémon animated series]], {{pkmn|movie}}s, or {{spin-off games}}, while others have been teased or unveiled in [[Pokémon Presents|periodical video presentations]], special websites, promotional trailers on {{pkmn|social media}}, in print publications such as [[CoroCoro]] magazine, or in advertisements. New Pokémon have also frequently been {{wp|Internet leak|leaked on the Internet}} before their intended debut. Additionally, some Pokémon, often [[Mythical Pokémon]], have been hinted at in the games before their formal reveal or were discoverable in game code or through [[glitch]]es.

Limited information may be known about a Pokémon before it is obtainable in the games; only a silhouette or brief glimpse of the Pokémon may be shown, or the name or [[type]] of the Pokémon may be left unrevealed.


==History==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Missing some dates and sources; some info and dates may need verification; Gens VI & VII are incomplete}}
===Generation I===
Less than two months after the February 1996 release of {{game|Red and Green|s}} in Japan, the first brand new Pokémon species to be revealed was {{p|Mew}}, appearing in the May issue of [[CoroCoro|CoroCoro Comics]] released in April 1996, thus bringing the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|total number of known Pokémon to 151}}. The issue featured a promotion allowing 20 players to send in copies of their games to have Mew added by Nintendo. Mew was later made widely available through {{pkmn2|event}}s soon after the international release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, which first released in North America on September 28, 1998.{{fact}}

Before its official reveal, Mew was discoverable in the code of the [[Generation I]] games, as well as through [[Mew glitch|glitches]].

Mew was a little-known secret when Pokémon Red and Green were first released in Japan. Even [[Nintendo]] was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref name=IwataAsks>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon/0/0/ Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref> According to Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.<ref name=IwataAsks/> However, Pokémon Red and Green are 373 kilobytes in size and are housed in 512 kilobyte cartridges.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-file-size-every-core-game/ The File Size Of Every Core Pokemon Game] - ''The Gamer''.</ref><ref>https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon_Red_and_Blue</ref> In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 134, July 2000, p.78-79 ([http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php excerpt])</ref>

===Generation II===
[[File:Ho-Oh Debut.png|250px|thumb|{{p|Ho-Oh}}'s first appearance in the {{pkmn|animated series}}]]
An unidentified Pokémon appeared in the first episode of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' titled ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, and in the United States on September 8, 1998. It was seen flying over a rainbow by {{Ash}} on his first day as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. The Pokémon, named {{p|Ho-Oh}}, was first revealed in the August 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine,<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-8.html</ref> though its name would not be officially revealed to Western audiences until later. It was the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in any [[Pokémon]] media, and was the first sign that the franchise would expand beyond the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|original 151 Pokémon}}.

A month later, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Slowking}}, and {{p|Donphan}} were revealed in the May 1997 issue of CoroCoro.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

[[File:EP050.png|250px|thumb|left|[[Misty's Togepi]] in its debut episode]]
In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', which first aired in Japan on May 28, 1998 and in the United States on February 27, 1999, Ash found a mysterious [[Pokémon Egg]]. In ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', which first aired in Japan on June 25, 1998, and in the United States on March 27, 1999, the Egg hatched into a never-before-seen Pokémon named {{p|Togepi}}, marking the second appearance of a Generation II Pokémon in the animated series. Due to the effects of the [[EP038|"Pokémon Shock" incident]], this episode was delayed from its original airdate in March 1998, which may have been intended to coincide with the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, originally scheduled to release the same month.

Initially revealed in July 1998 in CoroCoro, {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} would later appear in the [[Pikachu short]] ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]'' shown alongside [[M01|the first Pokémon movie]], which debuted in Japanese theaters on July 18, 1998, and in North American theaters on November 10, 1999. Donphan also made its first major appearance at the beginning of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', used by [[Raymond]] in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash.

First seen as a silhouette in the December 1998 issue of CoroCoro, {{p|Lugia}} was first fully shown off in the May 1999 issue alongside {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Elekid}}, and {{p|Bellossom}}. A glimpse of Elekid's prongs would later appear in a sketch by {{Tracey}} in the episode ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', which aired on July 1, 1999 in Japan, and September 9, 2000 in the United States. {{p|Ledyba}} was revealed in the June issue of CoroCoro, and later appeared with Hoothoot, Elekid, and Bellossom in the Pikachu short ''[[PK04|Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure]]'' shown alongside [[M02|the second movie]], which released in Japanese theaters on July 17, 1999 and North American theaters on July 21, 2000. Lugia and Slowking made their first full appearance in ''The Power of One'', playing major roles in the film.

Several more Pokémon were revealed in CoroCoro in August, September, and October of 1999. {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Spinarak}} were revealed in the August issue, and {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Sentret}} were revealed in the September issue. In October, the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}, were revealed, as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Stantler}}.

Episodes taking place in [[Johto]] started airing in Japan a month before the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, in which several Generation II Pokémon appeared before their game debut. Notably, {{p|Suicune}} first appeared in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'', first broadcast in Japan on October 14, 1999, with Cyndaquil and Totodile also making their first appearances in the series. Chikorita appeared in [[EP118|the next episode]] on October 21, and Heracross appeared in [[EP118|the episode after that]] on October 28.

Finally, {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Hoppip}} were revealed in the November 1999 issue of CoroCoro, which also featured Suicune.

====Release of Pokémon Gold and Silver====
{{game|Gold and Silver|s}} released in Japan on November 21, 1999 and in North America on October 15, 2000, bringing along {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, including all those previously revealed, as well as {{p|Celebi}}, which would officially be revealed in the July 2000 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro-00-7.html</ref> and made available later through {{pkmn2|event}}s. Celebi first became available in [[Space World#2000|Nintendo Space World 2000]] in Japan.

This Pokémon was previously discoverable in the game code, due to the data for the epilogue being implemented alongside [[The Indigo Disk]].

Before the reveal of Pecharunt, it appeared partially obscured with its shell closed in the story about {{ga|Ogerpon}} told by [[Yukito and Hideko|Yukito]] in [[The Teal Mask]]. What appeared to be a Pecharunt doll could also be seen at Peachy's in [[Mossui Town]].

'''Heracross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘラクロス''' ''Heracros'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Heracross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Heracross''' using the [[Heracronite]].

==Biology==
[[File:HeracrossScarletViolet2.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Heracross's wings]]
Heracross is a bipedal, {{wp|Coleoptera|coleopteran}} {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in a blue exoskeleton as hard as steel. There is a long, pronged horn on its forehead. The horn ends in a cross on males and a heart-shape on females. On either side of the horn is a short antenna with a spherical tip. Heracross has oval, yellow eyes. Its forearms have a pair of spikes near the wrists, while its thighs have a single spike each. It has two claws on its hands, and a single long claw on each foot. There is a single pair of wings covered by {{wp|elytron|elytra}}, which can be seen during its release from a Poké Ball in the 3D games. Heracross's claws allow it to dig into the ground for sturdy footing and also allow it to climb trees.

Heracross possesses very high physical strength, but its flying capabilities are less impressive. It can use its horn to throw opponents or to compete for food, and can lift and throw objects 100 times its own weight. Heracross uses its two antennae to search for food by scent, and is especially fond of tree sap. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Heracross is known to occasionally sleep while licking the sap it finds.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This occurs as it can become exhausted from a potentially difficult search for sweet sap. It makes its habitat in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal, temperate, and tropical forests}}. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Megahorn}} was its [[signature move]].

As seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', Heracross has been known to compete with Pokémon such as {{p|Pinsir}} for food. The same episode also shows Heracross allowing {{p|Butterfree}} to feed on tree sap after Heracross has finished its meal. In addition, it is shown to suck sap from {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Bulbasaur}}. In [[Alola]], Heracross get along better with Pinsir, as they both have rivalries with {{p|Vikavolt}}.
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
[[File:Mega Heracross arm cannon animated.png|thumb|left|Mega Heracross' claws retracting into a weapon]]
Heracross can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Heracross.

Mega Heracross is bulkier than its previous form. Thin orange markings now rim its head, hands, and shoulders. Additionally, there is a half-circle, orange marking over its eyes. It now has a long, pointed nose that curves slightly upward. Its back now lacks wings and is completely yellow. The horn on its head has grown into a large, simple spike with two smaller spikes on the front. The antennae have lengthened as well and now have ovoid tips. Mega Heracross's forearms have thickened and lost their spines. Sometimes, when attacking, particularly with a [[multistrike move]], its exoskeletal shell on the upper side of its arms opens up, revealing a segmented yellow skin layer filled with holes, which let air enter and exit from its forearms. During these attacks, its claws simultaneously retract, allowing Mega Heracross to fire various types of ammunition at a rapid pace, such as {{m|Bullet Seed|seeds}}, {{m|Pin Missile|spikes}}, and {{m|Rock Blast|rocks}}.

This Pokémon has a high body temperature, so it opens the shells of its arms and torso to allow heat to escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Heracross</ref> Mega Heracross boasts such incredible strength that it can lift objects up to 500 times its own weight between its horns. This same strength allows Mega Heracross to lift a fighter plane. However, it is left with muscular soreness after reverting to its original form.

==Other appearances==

Heracross only appears as a random trophy.

====Trophy information====
''Heracross are powerful creatures that are known to drive their single horns into the bellies of their foes and then toss them over their heads.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Heracross appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Heracross can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Pinsir}}, replacing {{p|Scyther}} in that role, which gained an Evolution in [[Generation II]]. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles and lack an evolutionary line. Pinsir is not part {{t|Fighting}} like Heracross, but it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Excluding the [[Friend Safari]], both Pokémon and their [[Mega Stone]]s are versions exclusives in {{g|X and Y}}: Heracross and [[Heracronite]] are exclusive to Y while Pinsir and [[Pinsirite]] are exclusive to X. Each Mega Stone can be found in [[Santalune Forest]] in their respective versions. The heights of both Pokémon are the same, even when Mega Evolved. The Pokémon are also version exclusives in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]]. Heracross can be found on the [[Isle of Armor]] if playing Shield, whereas Pinsir can be found in its place when playing Sword.
* Mega Heracross has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Mega Heracross is tied with Mega Pinsir, Mega {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Genesect}} for the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
* Heracross is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Heracross is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}.

===Origin===
Heracross appears to be based on the {{wp|Japanese rhinoceros beetle}}. These beetles are known for their incredible strength and use in {{wp|insect fighting}}, which explains its {{t|Fighting}} type.

Mega Heracross appears to be based on a {{wp|Hercules beetle}}.

====Name origin====
Heracross and Heracros may be a combination of ''{{wp|Hercules beetle}}'' (species of rhinoceros beetle named after the hero in the classical Greco-Roman mythology for its great strength), Ἡρακλῆς ''{{wp|Heracles|Hēraklēs}}'' (divine hero in Greek mythology who lent his name to his {{wp|Hercules|Roman mythological analogue}}), and ''cross''.

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''{{j|チコリータ}}''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Chikorita is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside {{p|Tepig}} and Totodile.

==Biology==
Chikorita is a small, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a pale green body, a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, a pair of large eyes with red irises, and a stubby tail. Each of its short legs end in a single white nail. There are dark green buds around its neck and a large, green leaf on top of its head.

Chikorita has a gentle personality<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/ Chikorita | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> and is docile by nature. The leaf on its head emits a pleasant, sweet aroma, which can soothe even battling Pokémon. Chikorita also uses it to sense the temperature and humidity of the area around itself, checking for a nice, warm place for it to sunbathe or, as mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, to sleep in.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Chikorita can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it is rare to come by and is generally only found under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} due to its status as a [[first partner Pokémon]]. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]].

===Evolution===
Chikorita evolves into {{p|Bayleef}}, which evolves into {{p|Meganium}}.

''"A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Chikorita returns as a Spirit.

==Trivia==
* Chikorita is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Generation II]] to be preserved from the {{g|Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo}}, although its earlier name '''{{j|ハッパ}}''' ''Happa'' was changed.
* Due to a programming error, Chikorita is not required to receive the [[Diploma]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* The Chikorita line is the only [[Evolution|evolutionary line]] of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to keep their Japanese voices in the English-language [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, due to having nearly identical names in English and Japanese.
* In the animated series, Chikorita have had the most {{pkmn|Trainer}}s among the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]]. One Chikorita has been trained by each of {{Ash}}, {{an|Casey}}, [[Vincent]], {{OBP|Silver|HS18}}, {{an|Lyra}}, and [[Horace]]. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a first partner Pokémon.

===Design variations===
[[File:152Chikorita GS 2.png|thumb|200px|Chikorita's original yellow body]]
Early artwork and in-game [[#Sprites|sprites]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} depict Chikorita's body as yellow. This was changed to light green in later artwork and {{game|Crystal}}.

===Origin===
Chikorita appears to be based on {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}s. Its shape and appearance also alludes to that of a {{wp|pear}}, or a Belgian {{wp|endive}}, a type of chicory. Buds around Chikorita's neck look like a {{wp|necklace}} adding feminine touch to the design.

====Name origin====
Chikorita and Chicorita may be a combination of ''{{wp|chicory}}'' (a flowering plant) and ''-ita'' (the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young).

Happa is the Japanese word [https://jisho.org/word/葉っぱ {{j|葉っぱ}}] ''happa'', meaning "{{wp|leaf}}".

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hisui]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is timid by nature and often curls into a ball when threatened. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.

Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Cyndaquil will aim a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that Trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
''"A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable."''

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the actual game (this is most noticeable in the eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry]] [[Pokédex]] Image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This [[List of cross-canon references|references]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki|a Trainer's]] Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of the [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.
* Cyndaquil is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] with eyes usually closed.

===Origin===
Cyndaquil appears to be based on an {{wp|echidna}} with traits of {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called {{jwp|火鼠|Hinezumi}}, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Cyndaquil may be a combination of ''cinder'' (ashes) and ''quill'' (referring to needle-like hairs).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire) and ヤマアラシ (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 ''hi no arashi'' (storm of fire).

'''Totodile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ワニノコ''' ''Waninoko'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}}, Totodile is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is also one of the three [[Lumiose first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside Chikorita and {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0158-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Totodile sleeps with one eye open]]
Totodile is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with well-developed jaws. It has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. On its chest is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Totodile has five fingers and three toes. Down its back is a row of three red spines with a small, red ridge on either side. The tip of its tail has a single red spine as well.

Totodile tends to be both playful and rough by nature and has a habit of biting anything it sees, including its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Despite its size, Totodile's jaws are capable of crushing anything, so it sometimes causes serious injuries. Turning one's back on Totodile is considered to be a bad idea as it can bite without warning. Totodile are scarce in the wild, though it can be found around bodies of water like {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|rivers, ponds, and lakes}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Totodile and its Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. This practice is hypothesized to be a defense mechanism against enemy attacks.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Totodile was the only Generation II first partner Pokémon to appear only as a random trophy, not in a Poké Ball.

====Melee trophy information====
''"Little but feisty is the best description for these Water-type Pokémon. The first thing they do when they see something move is latch onto it with their powerful jaws. Totodile was one of the three Pokémon that [[Professor Elm]] offered to Trainers in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. They evolve into {{p|Croconaw}}."''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Big Jaw Pokémon. This alligator-like Pokémon stands on two legs. It has a small body but an impressive jaw that boasts potent bite power. It can do serious damage to someone even if it's just playing. Its tendency to chomp down on anything that moves in front of it means Trainers have to be extra cautious around it. When it levels up, it evolves into Croconaw."''

==={{DetPikMov}}===
A Totodile appeared in {{DetPikMov}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Totodile appears to be based on a baby {{wp|Crocodilia|crocodilian}}. The yellow marking on its chest may be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Totodile and its [[Evolution]]s are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Totodile's back is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Totodile's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Totodile may be a combination of ''tot'' and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

Waninoko may be taken to mean 鰐の子 ''wani no ko'' (child of a crocodile/{{wp|alligator}}).
