{{Incomplete|needs=There were a lot of effects missing that I added, but I'm not 100% certain everything sourced was perfectly accurate; also needs organization/rewording and maybe removal/reworking of the "Substitute does not block these" tables as the effect descriptions now contain much fewer generalizations}}

'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Scapegoat'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM50]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM90]], in Generation IV onwards. It was {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s [[signature move]] in [[Generation II]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Decreasing its {{stat|HP}} by 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, the user creates a substitute with 1 HP more than the amount of HP lost by the user. If the user's current HP is less than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, Substitute fails. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will faint upon creating the substitute. If the user's maximum HP is 3 or less, it will not lose any HP when the substitute is made. The substitute always has the same type and stats as the Pokémon that created it currently has.

If a Pokémon has a substitute, any [[damage]] the Pokémon would take from an opponent's moves, except {{m|Super Fang}} and {{cat|binding moves}}, is taken by the substitute instead. If the substitute runs out of HP or is hit by a [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO move]], it breaks. Other damage (except self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage), such as [[recoil]] damage or damage from [[status condition]]s, is not affected by a substitute.

Due to a glitch, if a Pokémon behind a substitute takes self-inflicted confusion damage, the damage is applied to the opponent's substitute instead. If the opponent does not have a substitute, no Pokémon or substitute takes damage.

While behind a substitute, its opponent's moves cannot lower its [[stat stages]], {{status|poison}} it, {{status|freeze}} it, {{status|burn}} it, or cause it to {{status|flinch}}. A Pokémon behind a substitute can be inflicted with {{status|paralysis}} or {{status|sleep}} by [[status move]]s (such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Hypnosis}}), but not by damaging moves (such as {{m|Thunderbolt}}). Conversely, a Pokémon behind a substitute cannot be {{status|confusion|confused}} by status moves (such as {{m|Confuse Ray}}), but can be confused by damaging moves (such as {{m|Confusion}}) as long as they do not break the substitute. Even if a move breaks a substitute, it cannot inflict any effects it would not be able to inflict to a Pokémon behind a substitute.

Additionally, substitute does not affect the opponent's {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Transform}}, or {{cat|binding moves}}; the user's {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, or {{m|Rage}}; nor either Pokémon's {{m|Haze}}.

In the Japanese games, {{cat|HP-draining moves|draining moves}} always miss if the target is behind a substitute. In the Western games, they can hit and drain HP, but will not drain any HP if they hit.

If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it will not need to recharge. If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will not [[fainting|faint]], although its sprite will still disappear until it switches out (or uses Substitute). If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with a [[recoil]] move, it will not take any recoil damage. If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Pay Day}}, that use of Pay Day will not count toward the [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] its Trainer picks up at the end of the battle. If a Pokémon attacks a substitute with a [[multi-strike move]], the hits will automatically end if the substitute breaks.

In Stadium, several oddities and glitches listed above were fixed:
* If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a substitute.
* A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot be inflicted with any [[status condition]] or {{status|confusion}} by an opponent's move.
* If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint as usual.
* {{cat|HP-draining moves|Draining moves}} always miss if used on a Pokémon behind a substitute.

===Generation II===
In general, the fixed effects from Stadium in Generation I are retained. For example:
* If the user's current HP is equal to or lower than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a substitute.
* A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot be inflicted with any [[status condition]] or caused to  {{status|flinch}} by an opponent's move.
* {{m|Super Fang}} affects the substitute rather than the Pokémon behind it.
* {{m|Rage}} works as normal.
* {{cat|HP-draining moves|Draining moves}} always miss if used on a Pokémon behind a substitute.
* If a Pokémon breaks a substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint as usual.

Mechanics changed between Stadium and Generation II include:
* The substitute's HP is now exactly equal to the HP lost to create the substitute, instead of being 1 + the HP lost.
* {{m|Leech Seed}} now fails if the target is behind a substitute.
* If a Pokémon behind a substitute hurts itself in confusion, it takes the damage itself.
* {{m|Bide}} can be successfully used by a Pokémon behind a substitute, but damage dealt to a substitute is not considered for the damage Bide deals.
* Because [[recoil]] damage is calculated from how much HP the target has actually lost, if a Pokémon hits a substitute with a recoil move, that attacker will only take 1 HP of recoil damage. ({{m|Jump Kick}} and {{m|High Jump Kick|Hi Jump Kick}} crash damage is calculated normally.) Breaking a substitute with a recoil move no longer prevents recoil damage.
* A [[multi-strike move]] can now continue hitting even after a substitute has been broken, then dealing damage directly to the targeted Pokémon. ({{m|Twineedle}} can poison a target with the second strike if the first strike broke the substitute.)
* {{m|Pay Day}} now works as normal.

Mechanics newly introduced in Generation II include:
* A substitute can be passed by {{m|Baton Pass}}, and it will keep whatever HP it has remaining.
* The moves {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} will fail if used by a Pokémon behind a substitute.
* The moves {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, {{type|Ghost}} {{m|Curse}}, and {{m|Sketch}} cannot affect a Pokémon behind a substitute. (If a Pokémon affected by one of these moves later gains a substitute, their effects remain.)
* A substitute takes the damage from {{m|Future Sight}}.
* A substitute takes the damage from {{m|Pursuit}} as the user switches out.
* {{cat|Binding moves}} will not trap the target if it is behind a substitute. In addition, creating a substitute will cause the user to escape a binding move.
* If a Pokémon behind a substitute is targeted by {{m|Swagger}}, its Attack is sharply increased as normal, but it does not become {{status|confusion|confused}}.
* {{m|Thief}} cannot steal an item from a Pokémon behind a substitute.
* {{m|Pain Split}} fails if the target is behind a substitute.

===Generation III===
The following effects are carried over/expanded from Generation II:
* A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot have its stat stages lowered by an opponent's {{a|Intimidate}}.
* A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot have its item stolen by {{m|Covet}} or knocked off by {{m|Knock Off}}. {{m|Trick}} fails if its target is behind a substitute.
* A substitute takes the damage from {{m|Doom Desire}}.
* {{m|Yawn}} is blocked by the substitute, but if a Pokémon behind a substitute is already drowsy due to Yawn it can still fall asleep.

The following effects are changed between Generations II and III:
* {{m|Rage}}'s effect will now no longer activate if its user's substitute is hit.
* {{m|Swagger}} and {{m|Flatter}} will now fail if used on a Pokémon behind a substitute.
* {{m|Pay Day}} now does not cause its Trainer to gain [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] if it hits a substitute.
* {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}}, and {{m|Endure}} now behave as normal.
* Damaging {{cat|HP-draining moves|draining moves}} (except {{m|Dream Eater}}) can now hit a substitute as normal, and the user of the move will gain HP depending on the HP the substitute lost. ({{m|Leech Seed}} is still blocked by the substitute.)
* [[Recoil]] moves now inflict recoil damage to the user depending on the damage dealt to the substitute.
* {{cat|Trapping moves}} are now blocked by the substitute.
* {{m|Mimic}} is now blocked by the substitute.

The following effects are newly introduced in Generation III:
* {{p|Shedinja}}, having a maximum of only 1 HP, cannot make a substitute.
* Substitute can be stolen by {{m|Snatch}}.
* {{m|Smelling Salts|SmellingSalt}} will not have any of its additional effects applied if it hits a substitute, even if the Pokémon behind it is {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}.

===Generation IV===
The following effects are carried over/expanded from Generation III:
* A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot have its item eaten by {{m|Pluck}} or {{m|Bug Bite}}. {{m|Switcheroo}} fails if its target is behind a substitute.
* Like {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Metal Burst}} also does not count damage taken by its user's substitute.
* Similar to SmellingSalt, {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} will not have any of its additional effects applied if it hits a substitute, even if the Pokémon behind it is {{status|sleep|asleep}}.

The following effect changed between Generations III and IV:
* {{cat|Berries that may cause confusion|Self-confusing Berries}} (such as the [[Figy Berry]]) no longer {{status|confusion|confuse}} Pokémon behind a substitute.

The following effects are newly introduced in Generation IV:
* The [[Enigma Berry]] will not activate if the substitute takes the move.
* If an opponent's {{m|U-turn}} breaks the user's substitute, and the opponent then switches in a Pokémon with {{a|Intimidate}}, the substitute will not fade until after it has successfully blocked the new Intimidate.
* If a Pokémon behind a substitute uses {{m|Baton Pass}}, the Pokémon switched in cannot be {{status|poison}}ed by {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, but if it is a [[grounded]] {{type|Poison}} Pokémon it will still remove the Toxic Spikes.
* A Pokémon behind a substitute is unaffected by the effects of items thrown by {{m|Fling}} if the substitute takes the move.
* An opponent's {{m|Defog}} will not lower the {{stat|evasiveness}} of a Pokémon behind a substitute, but it will still remove [[fog]] as well as team effects ({{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Mist}}, etc.) and [[entry hazard]]s on the target's side of the field.
* A substitute blocks {{m|Copycat}}, {{m|Embargo}}, {{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Heal Block}}, {{m|Psycho Shift}}, and {{m|Worry Seed}}. A substitute blocks {{m|Acupressure}} regardless of whether it was used by an ally or the user itself.

===Generation V===
A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot have its item destroyed by {{m|Incinerate}} or be given an item by {{m|Bestow}}. The Ability {{a|Pickpocket}} and the [[Item Drop]] from [[Wonder Launcher]] can steal or remove a Pokémon's held item, respectively.

If {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Clear Smog}}, {{m|Circle Throw}}, or {{m|Dragon Tail}} target a substitute, their secondary effects will not trigger. The move {{m|Sky Drop}} will fail if the target is behind a substitute.

{{m|Acupressure}} can now successfully be used by a Pokémon behind a substitute on itself, but it will still fail if it targets an ally behind a substitute.

Substitute now blocks {{m|Transform}} and {{a|Imposter}}.

Another Pokémon's {{m|Dream Eater}} can now affect a Pokémon's substitute and acts the same way as other damaging draining moves. {{m|Pain Split}} can now affect a Pokémon's substitute.

The following moves are not blocked by the substitute:

===Generation VI onwards===
Substitute no longer blocks {{cat|sound-based moves}} (such as {{m|Metal Sound}}) or moves used by Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Infiltrator}}. The moves {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}, {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}, {{m|Play Nice}}, and {{m|Spectral Thief}} can also bypass a substitute.

If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Substitute, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

As of Generation VII, the following moves are not blocked by the substitute:

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series===
Substitute turns the foe in front into a [[Status ailments in Mystery Dungeon#Other status condition categories|decoy]], causing other foes to attack it.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
{{sbw|Substitute}} is the down special move for {{SSB|Greninja}}. The substitute doll it summons resembles those from the main games, though it can also summon a log. The move functions as a counter, attacking opponents who hit Greninja while it is posing. Additionally, there is a trophy of the substitute doll in the Wii U version of the game.

====Trophy information====
''If it looks like a Pokémon and it gets attacked like a Pokémon, it's probably a- Oh, no, it could also be a Substitute Doll. This cute plush figure appears out of nowhere when a Pokémon uses the move Substitute. Is that a smile on its face or a grimace of determination? Only the doll knows, and it's not telling.''

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{Incomplete|needs=More thorough description of what sort of attacks are or are not blocked by Substitute.}}
Substitute is the move used by {{p|Whimsicott}} when called as a Support Pokémon. It conjures up a set of three dolls that rotate around the Battle Pokémon, blocking incoming ranged attacks. It also restores a little of the Battle Pokémon's HP.

[[File:Substitute Fly PBR.png|thumb|200px|A substitute "levitating"]]
[[File:Sakurai used Substitute.jpg|thumb|250px|A substitute in place of Masahiro Sakurai]]
[[File:Substitute doll anime.png|thumb|250px|A Substitute Doll in the anime]]
* In most games, the decoy and the Pokémon will switch places when the Pokémon executes a move. The only exception is in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], where the battle animations play out as if the substitute was the one performing the move. It generally remains stationary, except when using moves like {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}}.
* In the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} games, the substitute resembles the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Rhydon}}.
* {{p|Shedinja}} can learn Substitute despite being incapable of using it, as its HP is too low to create a substitute.
* Substitutes are interpreted differently throughout all forms of Pokémon canon. In the games, a substitute is seen as an inanimate decoy which simply stands in for the Pokémon. In the anime, substitutes are seen to be clones of the user. In the manga, substitutes are like the anime representation, but more spectral and transparent, as shown by [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]''.
* In the Mystery Dungeon series, if the player eats an X-Eye Seed, all other Pokémon appear as substitutes.
* The ''Plush Toy'' enemy in the [[Mystery Doors of the Magical Land Series]] movie in [[Pokéstar Studios]] is similar to a substitute.
* In Pokémon Stadium, {{FB|List of|glitch Pokémon}} will appear as the substitutes. The color will vary, however, due to the player's ID and the glitch Pokémon's name. This is because the game treats the glitch Pokémon's name as a [[nickname]], which cause Pokémon to change colors in the Stadium series.
* In [[Generation VI]], the size of the substitute depends on the size of the Pokémon using it. For example, a substitute made by a {{p|Kyurem}} will be bigger than that of a {{p|Flabébé}}.
* During [[Nintendo Direct|Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct]] on April 8, 2014, a substitute plushie is seen in place of {{sbw|Masahiro Sakurai}} as he goes to showcase some of the Pokémon available from the [[Poké Ball]] and [[Master Ball]] items.
* Substitute dolls have been featured in several episodes of the anime:
** In the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', a {{p|Growlithe}} can be seen playing with a Substitute plushie in [[Mr. Fuji]]'s {{DL|Lavender Town|Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House|Pokémon House}}.
** In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', a Substitute doll was one of the items offered to {{Ash}} by a market vendor in [[Coumarine City]].
** A Substitute doll owned by [[Professor Kukui]] appeared in ''[[SM015|Rocking Clawmark Hill!]]''.

Run Away (Ability)

JDDJS: no negative effect

|colorscheme=normal

}}
'''Run Away''' (Japanese: '''にげあし''' ''Run Away'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Twenty-four {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have this Ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Run Away guarantees [[escape]] from a [[wild Pokémon]], negating any trapping move or Ability that would prevent it from escaping (such as {{m|Mean Look}} and its variations, {{m|Wrap}} and its variations, {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Arena Trap}} and {{a|Magnet Pull}}). Run Away allows a Pokémon affected by {{m|Ingrain}} to escape.

Run Away has no effect on [[recall|switching out]]. Run Away has no effect in [[Pokémon battle#Battling Trainers|Trainer battles]].

Until Generation V, when activated, the message "'''<Pokémon name> escaped using Run Away!'''" will appear. From Generation V onward, a banner with Run Away shows up instead.

===Outside of battle===
Run Away has no effect outside of battle.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], a Pokémon with Run Away will become terrified and run from all Pokémon when its HP is down below ½. Leaders are unaffected. It also protects against being immobilized by moves like Mean Look, or Abilities like Shadow Tag.

Dark (type)

2013-12-12T16:14:55Z

JDDJS: /* Trivia */

:''If you were looking for the moves known as Dark moves in Japanese, see [[Shadow move]].''
----
{{types}}
The '''Dark type''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|あくタイプ|Aku Taipu}}''' ''Evil type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Grimsley]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark type is the only type that has never had a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] specialize in it, although it is a recurrent type used by [[villainous teams]], and is used in the Elite Four. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Dark-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack. Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|resisted2=Fighting
|resisted3=Fairy
}}

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack (which is in and of itself modified by a few powerful outliers and slightly ironic as Dark was a special type, not a physical type), but usually have relatively poor defenses, with the exception of {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Bisharp}}, {{p|Drapion}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. On the plus side, Dark types have an immunity to {{type|Psychic}} moves.

Additionally, prior to [[Generation VI]], Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type|Ghost}} have no weaknesses (excluding {{type|Fighting}} moves used under immunity-negating conditions such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}} or {{a|Scrappy}}), as the resistances of the Dark type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. In Generation VI, the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced, which is super effective against Dark and not resisted by Ghost, so these Pokémon now have a weakness to Fairy.

Meanwhile, a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Inkay}} and {{p|Malamar}}, has no resistances while having a double weakness to Bug-type moves, a single weakness to Fairy-type moves and an immunity to Psychic.

===Offense===
Dark-type moves, when combating Psychic types, are especially useful due to their secondary effects; {{m|Crunch}} lowers Defense (an already low stat among Psychic types), {{m|Bite}} causes {{Status|flinch}}ing, {{m|Feint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} ratio while {{m|Pursuit}} hits Pokémon as they switch for double damage. Many Dark-type moves also involve stealing or deception, such as moves like: {{m|Thief}}, which steals an opponent's held item; {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves; and {{m|Foul Play}}, which uses a number of the opponent's offensive modifiers, such as [[Statistics|Attack]], to calculate damage.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], the three Dark-type moves that are currently special ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Snarl}} and {{m|Night Daze}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[physical move]]s, which helps many Dark types since most of them are physical attackers. Similar to the Ghost-type, Dark-type attacks work very well with {{type|Fairy}} attacks, as only {{p|Mawile|two}} {{p|Klefki|Pokémon}} resist said combination.

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Dark-type moves typically are of the [[Smart Contest|Smart]] category, but can also fall in any of the other four Contest categories.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 45 Dark-type Pokémon or 6.1% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 6th rarest type.

==Trivia==
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokémon of any generation, with 16, and Generation VI introduced the fewest (minus Generation I) Dark-type Pokémon, with five.
* Generation IV introduced the most Dark-type moves of any generation, with 11, and Generation VI introduced the fewest (minus Generation I) Dark-type moves, with two.
** Neither of the moves introduced in Generation VI deal damage.
* In Generation II, the Dark type saw one retroactive type change in a move (Bite), but no change in a Pokémon. The opposite is true for the {{t|Steel}} type, which saw one retroactive type change in a Pokémon family ({{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}), but no change in a move.
* There has yet to be a [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type.
** The {{t|Fairy}}-type, introduced in Generation VI, received its own gym before Dark-type, introduced in Generation II.
* Like {{t|Ghost}}, there are no Pokémon with a type combination doubly vulnerable to Dark, though in Generation VI the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} can create such a combination in-battle if it is used on a {{type|Psychic}}.
* Despite Dark-type moves being exclusively special before the physical/special split, every Dark-type move introduced before the split was made a physical move.
* Dark is the only type not represented by a Pokémon (retroactive or otherwise) in the [[Kanto]] [[regional Pokédex]], not counting [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Gyarados}}. Consequently, it is the only type absent from a regional Pokédex.

'''Mew''' (Japanese: '''ミュウ''' Mew) is a [[legendary Pokémon]] who had a starring role in the first [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

==History==
Mew made a cameo appearance at the start of the movie, and did not take a major role until later. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island.
[[File:Mew traveling.png|Mew traveling|thumb|left|251px]]
When Mewtwo's other new clones were born, Mew came with them, but disappeared momentarily. When Mew reappeared shortly later, it tried to reason with Mewtwo, which led to a {{pkmn|battle}} between the two. {{Ash}} stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of their attacks, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tears, Mewtwo flew away with its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} didn't see anything. After the credits are over, a brief scene plays showing Mew flying towards the mountains.

Mew makes a quick appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring, although, like in the first movie, it may have just been his flashback.

==Personality and characteristics==
Mew has a very playful and curious nature, and it prefers having fun over fighting. It didn't even seem to understand that Mewtwo was wanting to fight it until one Mewtwo's attacks actually hit it. When battling, however, Mew was shown taking the fight very seriously as well. After the battle, Mew quickly took back its childlike personality, proving the fact that it had been fighting only because it had to defend itself.

'''Opposites Interact!''' (Japanese: '''マンムー、パチリス！決めろ氷のシャンデリア！！''' ''{{tt|Mammoo|Mamoswine}}, Pachirisu! Decide on the Ice Chandelier!!'') is the 175th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 641st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on May 6, 2010 and in the United States on September 25, 2010.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} begin training with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Dawn practicing her Contest moves while Ash has {{AP|Gible}} practices its {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack, only for it to head toward {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} defends Piplup, slapping the attack away, only for the meteors to turn around and crash land with a direct hit into Ash and Gible.

Once the match-ups for the battle round are chosen, {{an|Dawn}} discovers that she will be facing [[Ursula]] next.

Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} while Ursula chooses her {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}} and Flareon. Dawn orders Pachirisu to start off with {{m|Discharge}}, sending a surge of electric current at Flareon. Ursula counters easily by commanding her Gabite to block the attack, causing the {{type|Electric}} move to have no effect at all. However, this is what Dawn thought would happen. Pachirisu continues using Discharge, and it's shown that the move is also being aimed at Mamoswine. Dawn commands Mamoswine to attack Gabite with {{m|Take Down}}, and still surrounded by electricity, Mamoswine rushes at Gabite. The attack sends Gabite flying backwards, hitting Flareon and allowing the Discharge to injure it, causing Ursula to lose a chunk of her points. Gabite and Flareon pick themselves up and with a determined look, Ursula tells her Gabite to use {{m|Sandstorm}}. Gabite creates a furious cyclone of sand which Flareon avoids by jumping, but on Dawn's side the gales push at her Pokémon, blowing away Pachirisu. To counter, Dawn commands Mamoswine to use {{m|AncientPower}} to part the Sandstorm. Mamoswine begins to charge the attack, but Ursula will not allow it to interfere. She has Flareon use {{m|Scary Face}} in combination with Sandstorm, creating a frightening image of a large, glowing-eyed Flareon in the whirling sand. Mamoswine is intimidated by the image and the attack fails, causing Dawn to lose a quarter of her points.

Dawn encourages her Pokémon to stay strong, and they pick themselves up. She orders Pachirisu to use {{m|Super Fang}} on Flareon and Mamoswine to use {{m|Ice Shard}} on Gabite. Pachirisu begins sprinting forward and Mamoswine starts charging its attack. Ursula commands her Gabite to evade the attack with {{m|Double Team}}, and the illusions not only confuse Mamoswine, but they also surround Pachirisu. She orders Flareon to attack with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and the dark spheres pass through the illusions, hitting Dawn's unsuspecting Pokémon. This causes Dawn to lose another quarter of her points. Dawn calls out to her Pokémon again, telling them to do their best, and they get up. Ursula taunts Dawn and orders another barrage of Shadow Balls from Flareon. Pachirisu jumps around, avoiding the attacks, while Mamoswine takes them head on, but they eventually fall to the ground in fatigue. Gabite stops its Double Team in confidence, letting Mamoswine begin charging an Ice Shard. However, Flareon easily dissipates it with a {{m|Fire Spin}}. Ursula commands Gabite to use {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and the dragon swipes at Pachirisu, knocking another chunk of Dawn's points away in the process. Dawn tells Mamoswine to use Ice Shard again, but Ursula only commands another Fire Spin to stop it. When Fire Spin hits, the attack breaks into smaller pieces of sparkling ice. Despite this, Dawn orders yet another Ice Shard. Ursula tells Gabite to use Dragon Claw and Flareon to use Fire Spin, but Dawn counters with Pachirisu's {{m|Spark}}. The electric rodent flies past Gabite, sending Flareon backwards. With the Fire type out of the way, Dawn tells Mamoswine to release its Ice Shard, and the pieces fly toward Pachirisu, encasing it in glittering ice. Dawn finally orders a Discharge from Pachirisu, and the rodent charges forward in a shining ball of ice. As Ursula stares in shock, over a quarter of her points deplete.

Ursula recovers quickly and orders Gabite to use {{m|Dig}}. Gabite burrows underground and Flareon hops into the hole after it. With no target, Pachirisu crashes it the wall, breaking the Ice Chandelier. Ursula's Pokémon jump back up after, and Flareon shoots a Shadow Ball at Pachirisu. Dawn commands Mamoswine to use {{m|Hidden Power}}, but Ursula's Pokémon repeat their Dig and Shadow Ball combination many times, leaving Dawn's remaining points slim. Ursula then tells her Gabite to use Dragon Claw. Dawn suddenly orders Pachirisu to jump into one of the many holes left behind and tells Mamoswine to fire another Ice Shard. Gabite collides into Mamoswine while Ursula orders Flareon to use Fire Fang. Mamoswine endures the attacks and sends its Ice Shard attack into the holes, and suddenly, a Discharge is fired out from the holes. Dawn orders Mamoswine to use AncientPower, creating a fissure in the ground that reveals Pachirisu encased in another Ice Chandelier. Pachirisu manages to knock into both its opponents and turns around for another shot, but Ursula orders a Sandstorm and Fire Spin. In turn, Dawn commands Mamoswine to use Hidden Power on Pachirisu, causing the ice ball to accelerate exponentially. Before Gabite and Flareon can attack, Pachirisu crashes into them in a cloud of smoke and ice. Dawn begins to order another attack, but when the smoke clears, it's revealed that Gabite and Flareon are unable to battle, giving Dawn the win.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} reach [[Lake Valor]], where the Grand Festival takes place.

In [[Ursula]]'s portion on the blue stage she starts out with two {{p|Eevee}}. She uses a musical seal and it causes musical notes to shoot upward out of the [[Poké Ball]]s, revealing the Eevee. Dawn never saw Eevee before, so she checks her [[Pokédex]]. She starts with having the two use {{m|Iron Tail}} repeatedly with each other. She tells them both to use {{m|Hidden Power}}. Then she tosses a Water Stone and a Fire Stone at each, causing them to evolve into {{DL|Ursula|Vaporeon}} and {{DL|Ursula|Flareon}}. During evolution each has a cluster of silver bubbles around it and then as the stones are caught. One Eevee is caught in a whirl of flames and the small silver bubbles become red bubbles and it evolves into Flareon, whereas the other is covered in a wave of water and its silver bubbles come blue bubbles as it evolves into Vaporeon. The two then fly together and they swirl in the air then fire the bubbles and they land softly on the ground as the bubbles land softly and pop into shimmering light. Again, Dawn checks the Pokédex. Kenny remarks that he never thought of using evolution in an Appeal, though Zoey notes that while it looked impressive and Ursula will get high marks, it will only work once.

[[Nando]] on the green stage uses {{DL|Nando|Kricketot}} and {{DL|Nando|Altaria}}. The two start by floating through the air and spinning together and Altaria goes upward using Perish Song and Kricketot remains on the ground and uses Sing. The two combine and make the music notes glow. The judges compliment Nando and Ash checks Kricketot on his Pokédex. It says that when Kricketot falls over, its antennae makes a xylophone-like sound. Ash comments that it's just like Nando to use sound during a performance.

[[Jessilina]] on the red stage uses {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} in the Appeal Round. She has Seviper use {{m|Haze}} to create a circular spiral of smoke around it. She then jumps and flips onto its head without disturbing the Haze. Yanmega uses {{m|SonicBoom}} and aims it directly at Jessilina, causing a brilliant glow. This attack sheds her original Contest outfit, revealing a brand new one beneath it.

After several other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s perform, it's [[Zoey]]'s turn on the blue stage, of which the center opens up to reveal a pool for a water stage. She has {{DL|Zoey|Lumineon}} uses {{m|Aqua Ring}} and then her {{TP|Zoey|Gastrodon}} blast out of the tank. Gastrodon uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and it fires at Lumineon and the Aqua Ring bursts into a brilliant light. The lights form into three rings that float over the water's surface, which Lumineon jumps through, as well as Gastrodon. The rings then float closer to the surface and flatten out and shoot up whirlwinds of water. Zoey jumps onto the center and her two Pokémon next to her.

In {{si|Kenny}}'s performance on the red stage he chooses to use his {{DL|Kenny (Sinnoh)|Floatzel}} and {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}. Floatzel starts by using {{m|Aqua Jet}} straight up into the air into which Empoleon blasts three shots of {{m|Hydro Cannon}} at the Aqua Jet trail and it turns into a large waterfall. Floatzel fires off {{m|Razor Wind}} into the water around himself, which disperses into many beautiful flying discs around the stage. Empoleon then uses {{m|Metal Claw}} and shatters the discs, creating a large colorful mist. To finish, Floatzel uses {{m|Whirlpool}} and Empoleon uses {{m|Flash Cannon}}. While Floatzel turns the Whirlpool sideways to face Empoleon, the Flash Cannon blasts into the center, breaking up into droplets of rainbow energy. However, the Flash Cannon is too powerful for him to hold back; the Whirlpool quickly collapses and Floatzel is thrown back.

The final performance is Dawn's portion of the Appeal Round on the green stage, where she uses {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. First, using a [[Seal]] that sets off a large blue ribbon that ties itself into a bow and blasts into a shimmering light she sends out Buneary and makes her spin while letting off an {{m|Ice Beam}}. This spinning and Ice Beam combination creates a large, roller-coaster type ice path. Cyndaquil then rolls and uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} and rolls down the path, making a place for Buneary to slide, who follows just behind Cyndaquil. Buneary then charges an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} in order to cloak themselves above a large center ice spike. The glow is seen through the SmokeScreen. The smoke is blown away, revealing Buneary to be inside a large [[Poké Ball]] of ice with Cyndaquil standing on top. She bows as Cyndaquil, having used its back flames to form flapping wings of fire to clear the smoke, continues to fan, the flames illuminating the ice to give off a brilliant glow and causing sparkling snow to fall.

Marian announces the show of Coordinators that made it through to the second round. It is revealed that Dawn, Nando, Ursula, Zoey, and Jessilina have all made it through, but Kenny is not: he has been eliminated.

The group, along with Zoey, are saying goodbye to Kenny. Dawn is concerned about Kenny leaving, but he says he has to get ready for the next Grand Festival. He says he'll be rooting for Dawn. They say goodbye to him and he walks off.

* Team Rocket doesn't blast off or recite the {{motto}} during the entire arc.
* One act of the Appeal Rounds involved a Toxicroak and a Skuntank, similar to Saturn's Toxicroak and Jupiter's Skuntank.

===Errors===
* Nando's Kricketot used {{m|Sing}} in this episode, a move that Kricketot [[anime move errors|cannot legally learn]] (although its {{p|Kricketune|evolved form}} can).
* When Zoey's Gastrodon first came out, the top of its head was pink instead of Brown.

===Dub edits===
*During the appeals of everyone before Dawn, different pieces of music were used instead of the wild Pokémon theme from the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and an instrumental from a Pokémon movie.

'''Tracey's Scyther''' (Japanese: '''ケンジのストライク''' ''Kenji's Strike'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Tracey Sketchit]] while traveling with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

==History==
[[File:Tracey Scyther injured.png|thumb|left|220px|Scyther upon initial encounter]]
===Orange Islands===
Scyther made its debut in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' where the [[Pokémon watcher]] discovered it lying in a field on [[Murcott Island]] injured. Tracey attempted to help it by feeding it medicine but it only growled at him and then backed away; feeling threatened. Ash attempted to capture it in a [[Poké Ball]], but Scyther deflected it. Tracey then asked his {{TP|Tracey|Venonat}} to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on the Mantis Pokémon. Scyther quickly went to sleep and Tracey captured it without struggle then headed off to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]].

While [[Nurse Joy]] was bandaging its wounds, it leered at Tracey through the window as if it was angry with him for helping. Nurse Joy goes on to explain that because of the wounds it sustained, it must have been the leader of a {{p|Scyther}} swarm who lost its battle for leadership. Because it appeared elderly, she assumed that it lost to a younger, faster Scyther. Since it lost its leadership, it had to leave the swarm and live by itself. The loss forced it to leave the swarm and live in exile unless it wins another leadership match. Ash calls Professor Oak, the professor commending Tracey. Oak points out that Scyther's self-esteem is probably low due to losing leadership and being captured. Oak suggests to Tracey to try to heal Scyther’s mood and get it back in shape.

[[File:EP097.png|thumb|220px|left|Tracey and Scyther]]
Tracey is pained that he could do nothing to help Scyther feel better, but Ash suggests that he help train Scyther to re-challenge the new leader when it gets better. Without warning, it starts to fly and bursts through the glass window but crashes to the ground. This does not deter it and it flies off leaving the others behind. It was assumed that Scyther wished to challenge the new leader immediately.

It's soon discovered that Scyther heard the cries of its former swarm members who had been captured by [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] and it left the Pokémon Center in order to save them. Scyther declines Pikachu's assistance and challenged every one of {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} single handily. It fought all five single handed, but its fatigue kicked in just as {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} used {{m|Poison Sting}}. The new Scyther leaped in to help out and the two Scyther sent Team Rocket fleeing. Afterwards, Scyther makes amends with its replacement and happily goes with Tracey.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Tracey decides to introduce all the Pokémon to Scyther to which all of them were afraid of. They quickly warmed up to it seeing that {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was not scared of it, but {{AP|Charizard}} had no interest and nearly hit Scyther with {{m|Flamethrower}}. This caused the two Pokémon to have a small rivalry between one another. Scyther then warded off Ash's hungry {{AP|Snorlax}} from devouring all of their food. They were able to set aside their differences to alert their Trainers that Team Rocket was trying to steal their Pokémon. Scyther was also able to send Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Skull Bash}}.

[[File:ScytherPika.png|thumb|200px|right|[[Ash's Pikachu]] and Scyther]]
Tracey loaned Scyther and {{TP|Tracey|Marill}} to Misty in order to help fight a fire on [[Ascorbia Island]] while he went to find [[Captain Aidan]]'s [[Team Wartortle|Wartortle]] in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. It assisted by {{m|Slash|Slashing}} away rubble that fell from the burning building long enough for Team Wartortle to come and finish the job.

===Kanto===
On [[EP116|the day]] Tracey decided to leave the group and become {{an|Professor Oak}}'s assistant, he used Scyther to help save Pikachu who was taken by Team Rocket by slashing open the case that he had been trapped in. Once saved, Pikachu happily hopped up on Scyther's shoulder as a show of thanks.

Scyther has rarely appeared since Tracey arrived in [[Pallet Town]]. However, it was the Pokémon that Tracey used in the battle against [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] when they stole all of the [[Poké Ball]]s in the lab in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]''. It also appeared in ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'' where Tracey used it to battle Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}. However, its age got the better of it and it was unable to complete the battle. Tracey recalled it back to its Poké Ball before it could get hurt.

==Personality and characteristics==
Scyther has the attitude of a warrior and pride means everything to it. It will not back down from a battle even when the odds are stacked against it. It is also extremely loyal to members of its swarm as it came to protect them even though it had been exiled from the swarm. It has also been seen to have a gentle side as seen in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' when [[Misty's Togepi]] came to greet it.

Undoubtedly, Scyther is the powerhouse of Tracey's team that is used solely for battling rather than Pokémon watching. Though because it is elderly, it gets tired easily, resulting in Tracey not pushing it very hard. Its age is also evident in the way it looks as it appears scruffier than younger Scyther. It would often use {{m|Swords Dance}} to blow away a {{m|Smog}} or a {{m|SmokeScreen}} attack caused by [[James's Weezing]].

When Scyther initially appeared, it was shown to be a 'sore loser', not taking defeat well. Indeed, after Tracey had captured it, it retained this characteristic, although, as mentioned before, it did take defeat a little bit better.

==Moves used==
{{anmov/h|bug|flying|Tracey Scyther {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Swords Dance|1=Skull Bash|2=Double Team|3=Quick Attack}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0=Swords Dance|1=Skull Bash|2=Double Team|3=Quick Attack}}}}

==Trivia==
* All of Scyther's known moves are {{type|Normal}} moves.
* Tracey's Scyther is the first Pokémon owned by a main character that used an [[HM]] move: {{m|Cut}}.
* Scyther's Skull Bash greatly resembles {{m|Giga Impact}}, a move introduced three generations later.
* Scyther is Tracey's only Pokémon that has been captured on-screen.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Somewhere in the sea near [[Unova]] a [[Team Rocket]] helicopter lands on a floating platform. {{an|Giovanni}} comes out of the helicopter along with a few {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and is welcomed by [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}} and [[Dr. Zager]]. Team Rocket's plan involving {{an|Meloetta}} will finally commence.

Meanwhile, at [[Cynthia]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]], {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}} have a training battle, with [[Ash's Oshawott]] battling with [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Cilan commands Pansage to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, but Ash orders Oshawott to use {{m|Razor Shell}}. Meloetta likes their battle and transforms in its Pirouette Forme, wanting to battle too, against Oshawott. Oshawott doesn't want this, as he is in love with Meloetta. Ash, who thinks a battle against Meloetta would be cool then sends out {{AP|Krookodile}} and the two start their battle. Meloetta uses {{m|Hyper Voice}}, but Krookodile manages to hold on. Ash orders him to use {{m|Stone Edge}}, but Meloetta manages to take all stones with its fighting techniques. Ash then orders Krookodile to use {{m|Dragon Claw}}. However, before he hits Meloetta, a {{m|Flash Cannon}} comes out of nowhere, which is revealed to come from a {{p|Golurk}}. The Golurk flies down and lands and a mysterious man appears to its side. He falsely thinks Ash and his group are villains for attacking Meloetta and tells the Golurk to attack them, but Meloetta steps in between and the man understands that they are Meloetta's friends.

The man introduces himself as [[Ridley]]. He explains that he and Meloetta lived a peaceful life in their village, until {{TRT}} came in and stole Meloetta. He tried to stop them, but Team Rocket managed to escape with Dr. Zager's helicopter. Ridley then explains that Team Rocket kidnapped Meloetta to use its ability to summon the [[Abyssal Ruins]].

Their conversation is short-lived as Team Rocket surrounds Cynthia's villa and creates a dark fog. Ridley and Meloetta try to escape but they are stopped by a {{p|Golem}} and a {{p|Rhydon}} used by two Team Rocket Grunts. The Rhydon uses {{m|Megahorn}} but Ridley shields it by ordering his Golurk to use {{m|Heavy Slam}}. Golem then uses {{m|Rock Blast}}. Ridley orders Ash {{ashfr}} to escape while he battles them. After that, Ridley has Golurk to use Heavy Slam again to take out Rhydon. Golem uses {{m|Steamroller}} to attack.

Ash and his friends continue to run away from Team Rocket, but are now confronted by Jessie, James and Meowth. James has his {{TP|James|Yamask}} to use {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to trap them. Meloetta tries to escape by turning invisible, but James uses his infrared glasses and orders Yamask to use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} run away while Cilan and {{an|Iris}} stay behind to battle.

Pikachu suddenly stops, sensing another Pokémon. This Pokémon turns out to be none other than [[Giovanni's Persian]], which Ash's scans with his [[Pokédex]]. Giovanni appears as well, having come to steal Meloetta. He orders Persian to use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, but Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to take him down. Giovanni, upon seeing Meloetta has turned invisible with his infrared glasses, orders his Persian to use {{m|Power Gem}} to take Ash and Pikachu down. This also causes Meloetta to appear, in shock. A helicopter traps Ash and Pikachu with a synthetic cube. Giovanni orders Meloetta to come with him or else he will crush Ash. With no other options, Meloetta agrees and comes with him. The cube containing Ash and Pikachu is also taken along. They head to the Abyssal Ruins where the final stage of Team Rocket's plan begins.

==Major events==

* [[Team Rocket]]'s "Operation Tempest" enters its final stage.
* {{an|Meloetta}} is revealed to know {{m|Hyper Voice}}.
* {{Ash}} meets {{an|Giovanni}} for the first time since [[Mewtwo Returns|their encounter]] at [[Mount Quena]].
* [[Giovanni's Persian]] is seen battling for the first time, and is revealed to know {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Power Gem}}.
* Ash battles Giovanni with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, but is defeated.
* Team Rocket successfully captures Meloetta, and takes it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]].
* Giovanni uses Meloetta's {{m|Relic Song|song}} to unseal the {{key|V|Reveal Glass}}.

** Viewers could call one of three phone numbers to hear facts about either {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, or {{p|Landorus}}. One random caller won a [[Nintendo 3DS XL]] with a prepaid gift card, which allows the player gain access on [[Pokédex 3D Pro]].
* Despite having made its debut [[EP015|over 700 episodes ago]], this is the first time when Giovanni's Persian is seen using any [[move]]s.
** This is also the first episode to show Persian's [[Poké Ball]].
** This is also the first time when Persian is scanned with a [[Pokédex]].
* The spiraling staircase in the Abyssal Ruins resemble the same stairs seen in the [[Relic Castle]] in the previews for the two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]]. Also, the way the {{key|V|Reveal Glass}} rises from the top of the stairs resembles the way the [[Meteonite]] revealed itself in the same preview.
* This episode marks the first time that Ash has a battle directly against the leader of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]].
** Also, as of this episode, Ash has battled all the official [[Generation I]] [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]].
* This marks one of the very few times in the Pokémon anime when a character has threatened to kill another character, as Giovanni threatens to squash Ash and Pikachu inside of a shrinking force field cube if Meloetta doesn't give itself up.
* Background music from ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']] was used in this episode.
* This episode was aired in several countries before its airing in the US:
** On December 31, 2012, it was aired in the [[Pokémon in the United Kingdom|UK]], nineteen days before the US airdate.
** On January 3, 2013, it was aired in [[Pokémon in Italy|Italy]] (on K2), sixteen days before the US airdate.
** On January 9, 2013, it was aired in [[Pokémon in Poland|Poland]] (on DisneyXD), ten days before the US airdate.
** On January 19, 2013, it was aired in [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin America]], at the same time than the US airing.
*** It was supposed to air in English but it was erroneously broadcasted on Cartoon Network USA via the {{wp|Second audio program|Secondary Audio Track}} in all U.S. and U.S. Territories using the dubbed Latin American Spanish track, which was scheduled to debut in 2014.
* The English title is a literal and punctuative copy of the Japanese title.

'''Counter''' (Japanese: '''カウンター''' ''Counter'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM18]] in Generation I.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
If the last amount of damage done before the use of Counter is greater than 0 and was dealt by a {{type|Normal}} or {{type|Fighting}} attack, Counter will do twice as much damage to the opponent. Although Counter deals Fighting-type damage, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. Counter works against {{t|Ghost}} types, although they are immune to Fighting-type attacks.

Counter is a decreased [[priority]] move. If the opponent does not use a decreased priority move during the round that it is used, Counter will go last regardless of the user's or opponent's speed. If the opponent also uses a decreased priority move during the same round, the attack order of the users will be determined normally. If the user is put to {{status|sleep}} or is {{status|freeze|frozen}} during the round that Counter is (or attempts to be) used, Counter's decreased speed priority will not be reset. Subsequently, it will only be reset on the turn after the user wakes up or is defrosted, or if the user switches out.

Counter can cause a critical hit, but the actual amount of damage dealt by it will not be altered by a critical hit. Counter will only counter the last hit of a multi-hit move and the last attack of a partial trapping move. Counter will always miss if called by {{m|Metronome}}.

Switching, full {{status|paralysis}}, and using a multi-turn move will not reset the last amount of damage done, allowing Counter to counter itself as well as self-inflicted recoil damage. However, if both active Pokémon use Counter during the same round, both attacks will fail. An attack absorbed by a {{m|substitute}} can be countered for the amount of damage it would have done to the user had the user not had a substitute.

If an HP-restoring or battle item is used on the opponent during the same round that Counter is used, counter will counter the item.

In Stadium, switching, full paralysis, and using a multi-turn move reset the last amount of damage done, so Counter can't counter itself or self-inflicted recoil damage if the opponent does not make a move on its following turn.

===Generation II===
Counter counters all [[physical move]]s for twice the damage done to the user. Counter no longer counters a move that hits a substitute. Furthermore, Ghost-type Pokémon are now immune to Counter.

===Generation III-IV===
In [[Double Battle]]s, Counter will hit the last opponent that dealt physical damage to the attacker. Counter cannot affect allied Pokémon.

===Generation V===
In [[Triple Battle]]s, Counter can hit non-adjacent opponents provided a non-adjacent opponent was the last Pokémon to attack the user.

If the Pokémon using Counter is hit by a Physical attack that deals 0 damage, Counter becomes a Physical move with 1 Base Power.

==Description==

==Trivia==
* In the Spanish versions of the games, the move is called ''Contador'' (someone or something that counts - a counter). However, in the {{Pkmn|anime}} [[dub]], the move is properly translated as ''Contraataque'' (counterattack).
** The Polish dub of the anime committed the same error.
* In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, this move can reflect {{m|Hidden Power}}, regardless of its type, due to always counting it as a {{type|Normal}} move.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
====Original series====
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|In the anime|Professor Oak's Laboratory}} to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.

In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} (knocking it out of his Trainer's hand), and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed his decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

[[File:Ash DP 2.png|thumb|120px|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} artwork]]
However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], and [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip]]'s Servine, despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Servine.

Since Ash's first encounter with {{TRT}} in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, {{ashfr}}, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning {{m|Iron Tail}} in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves. Also in the same episode, Pikachu learned {{m|Electro Ball}} while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].

====Diamond & Pearl series====
In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} and defeated it with a Volt Tackle to the face. He also battled Crasher Wake's Floatzel for a moment, allowing {{AP|Buizel}} time to recover. In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} Ability]]
Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with Quick Attack, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Flint's Infernape]], but he was defeated after a long fight.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu contest.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu performing in a Pokémon Contest]]
In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before he was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled [[Paul's Electivire]], but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, he was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.

====Best Wishes series====
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this when Pikachu battled Trip's {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}, losing in the process. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', he regained his ability to use Electric-type attacks and was used in battle which led to the capture of {{AP|Pidove}}. In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his Gym battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit despite the type-advantage. In ''[[BW010|A Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. He took a beating from multiple {{m|Aerial Ace}}s, but showed Trip the power of his electrical attacks by defeating Tranquill with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into {{p|Servine}}. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Pignite with a powerful Volt Tackle.

[[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and Pikachu]]
In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of {{p|Ducklett}} stole Ash's {{AP|hat}} and {{p|Sandile}}'s sunglasses. One of the Ducklett dropped an umbrella on Pikachu while he was about to use Thunderbolt. Pikachu was unable to release electricity because of it. While Sandile battled the three Ducklett, Pikachu joined the battle as well and after taking a direct hit from the Ducklett, Pikachu began releasing electricity and formed an {{m|Electro Ball}} and sent the Ducklett flying. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Even though Sandile evolved into {{AP|Krokorok}}, Pikachu used Electro Ball and sent {{m|Stone Edge}} right back at {{p|Krokorok}} and he was sent flying.

Ash used Pikachu in his third Gym battle against Burgh at the [[Castelia Gym]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Pikachu went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}} and after a tough battle, Pikachu was able to win it with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}} combo.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua and the Pokémon Knight!]]'' Pikachu played a movie role as Ash's assistant. He battled [[Iris's Axew]] in order to gain the power to defeat {{an|Cilan|the villain}} and his [[Cilan's Pansage|assistant]]. He succeeded with a Thunderbolt-Electro Ball combo. He later defeated the villain and rescued the princess.

Ash used Pikachu in the final round in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Pikachu had a very hard time battling Excadrill, as Excadrill is part {{t|Ground}} and Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} moves would have no effect on him. Pikachu did surprisingly well, however. Unfortunately, Pikachu fainted first, and Iris won the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash couldn't choose who to use after {{AP|Palpitoad}} and {{AP|Snivy}} fainted, Pikachu got fed up and zapped him, Ash then chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]]. He went up against her powerful {{p|Emolga}}, who even though she knew {{m|Attract}}, Pikachu beat her with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}. Later, Pikachu battled Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}, who only knew {{m|Tackle}}, but was still very strong. Yet Pikachu was able to beat Tynamo with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used his amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}—{{m|ThunderShock}} combination at the two legendary Pokémon. However, Pikachu was knocked off Stunfisk's back and his partner was then struck by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Later in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}. He used Thunderbolt on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by {{AP|Roggenrola}}, Iris's Axew and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} after {{AP|Tranquill}} was recalled. While Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were evaded, he was eventually able to intercept Unfezant's Aerial Ace attack with his Iron Tail. Pikachu then launched an Electro Ball and defeated Unfezant. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}. Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were blocked by Swanna's {{m|Aqua Ring}}, defending against the type advantage Pikachu held over it. However, using the hoops that Skyla had used in her pre-battle show, Pikachu was able to jump with Quick Attack to hit Swanna. Eventually, Swanna was able to hit Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}, after which Ash deemed Pikachu unable to battle, although he tried to continue.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Using its extendable arms, Garbodor tried to use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Pikachu, but the Electric Mouse Pokémon was too fast for the Trash Heap Pokémon, and trying to reach him with all his dodging only caused Garbodor's arms to accidentally get tied together, allowing Pikachu to land a hit with Quick Attack. Garbodor tried to use its tied-up arms as a whip, but Pikachu was easily able to dodge them every time and strike back with a Thunderbolt. When Pikachu tried to use Iron Tail, Garbodor swung its arms upwards, repelling Pikachu and untying the arms. After several misses with {{m|Gunk Shot}}, Garbodor grabbed Pikachu, swung him up high and hit him repeatedly with DoubleSlap while falling. After this, Garbodor fired another Gunk Shot, this time hitting and also {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu. Ash was getting discouraged, but thanks to the encouraging words from Iris and Cilan, he and Pikachu decided to keep on going, despite the poison. To Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]]. After the battle, Roxie admitted her defeat, and gave Pikachu a [[Pecha Berry]] to cure him from the poisoning.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Dawn's Quilava]] in a friendly battle before Dawn left Unova for Johto. He was hit by a {{m|Swift}} attack before missing with Quick Attack, though he managed to dodge Quilava's {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Pikachu attempted both Electro Ball and Iron Tail, both of which were stopped by his opponent's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After their Quick Attack and Flame Wheel clashed in mid-air, [[Cynthia]] stopped the match.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash battled {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but was defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. They made an attempt to reach Meloetta, but were sent flying by the attacks of [[Jessie's Woobat]] and [[James's Yamask]]. Luckily, they were safely caught mid-air and brought down by [[Ridley]]'s {{p|Golurk}}. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Kami trio|Therian Forme]] Kami Trio, as Thundurus aimed a {{m|Thunder}} attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta. However, the blast also caused Giovanni to get a straight view at the {{Key|V|Reveal Glass}}, causing its possessive powers to take over and corrupt his mind, sending the Kami Trio on a mindless rampage in an attempt to ''destroy'' Unova rather than conquer it. The possession was broken when Jessie, James, and Meowth pushed Giovanni out of the enchanted ring, breaking the spell. As Giovanni realized that it would be impossible to control the legendary Pokémon without Meloetta, he ordered a full retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Even while aboard the Team Rocket helicopter, Jessie and James couldn't help at admiring Pikachu's incredible powers. When Meloetta later left with Ridley, Pikachu was saying goodbye to it, along with Ash, Cilan, Iris, Cynthia, Axew, and the heartbroken Oshawott.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip and his Serperior. Despite executing all his attacks perfectly, Serperior was able to dodge all of them with ease and knock Pikachu down with a powerful {{m|Dragon Tail}}. As the battle continued in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Serperior hit Pikachu with an {{m|Energy Ball}} and a barrage of Dragon Tails, before {{m|wrap}}ping Pikachu in a tight squeeze. With great effort, Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt, but it proved useless, as Serperior simply stuck his tail into the ground, conducting the electricity away. As Pikachu was struggling to catch a breath and his face was turning purple, Serperior prepared to finish him off. Luckily, with some quick thinking from Ash, Pikachu was released from Serperior's grip by an Iron Tail. Before Pikachu could attack, however, he was once again hit by a Dragon Tail. As Serperior prepared for the next strike, Ash got an idea to use two moves at once to match Serperior's power, and had Pikachu to use Electro Ball and Iron Tail simultaneously. The attack combination collided with Serperior's Dragon Tail, causing a big explosion. As the smoke cleared, Serperior was still up and Pikachu was lying down, but Pikachu had, in fact, survived the attack and knocked out Serperior. Pikachu jumped in joy of winning the battle for Ash and leaped to his arms as the defeated Serperior fell down to the ground, much to Trip's shock and surprise.

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his fifth Pokémon during his [[Full Battle]] against {{un|Cameron}}, sending him out to face Cameron's {{p|Samurott}}. Despite being in type disadvantage, Samurott was able to block Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Quick Attack with {{m|Razor Shell}} before striking back with a powerful {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. The Formidable Pokémon then attempted to strike Pikachu with {{m|Megahorn}}, which Pikachu was, however, able to dodge before striking with another Quick Attack, this time successfully avoiding Samurott's Razor Shell defense. Ash kept on attacking by telling Pikachu to use Iron Tail, followed by an Electro Ball, forcing Samurott to block it with Razor Shell. This gave Pikachu an opportunity to serve another blow with Iron Tail, defeating Samurott. Cameron then sent out his next Pokémon, Swanna, attempting to keep distance to Pikachu. The Electric Mouse Pokémon was able to avoid Swanna's first attack attempt, a series of {{m|Pluck}}, as well as Swanna was able to avoid Pikachu's initial Quick Attack. However, Pikachu didn't manage to dodge Swanna's following {{m|Wing Attack}}, taking a notable amount of damage. Despite of this, Pikachu was able to dodge Swanna's following {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Wing Attack before serving the finishing strike with Electro Ball. When Cameron decided to use {{p|Riolu}}, Ash saw that Pikachu was getting tired, and recalled him, replacing him with Unfezant. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated Snivy, leaving Pikachu as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started the round by launching a barrage of Quick Attacks, which all made a direct hits, until Lucario got its act together and hit Pikachu back with a {{m|Force Palm}}, causing heavy damage on him. This hit was then followed by a collision of {{m|Aura Sphere}} and Electro Ball, which was soon followed by a failed Force Palm attempt from Lucario, followed by a {{m|Circle Throw}}, which sent Pikachu flying high into the air. Despite of the threatening situation, Pikachu was able to land smoothly and hit Lucario with a fierce Thunderbolt, followed by an Iron Tail, which was countered by Lucario's own {{m|Copycat}}-Iron Tail. At this point, both Pokémon were struggling to get on their feet, which they eventually managed to do with their Trainers' encouragements. Drawing out the last drops of their strengths, Pikachu and Lucario fired another blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere, respectively. This time, however, the collision didn't end in a draw, as Aura Sphere overpowered tired Pikachu's Electro Ball, and the {{type|Fighting}} move hit the Electric Mouse Pokémon, knocking him out and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in top 8.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}

During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bicycle|bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}, since she doesn't have a bike. Instead, Pikachu shocked Iris herself.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another, and most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining relationship.

=====Moves improvised=====
[[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Ash Pikachu Leer EP009|2=Ash Pikachu Rocket Punch|3=Thunder Armor}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=using "Leer"|2=using Rocket Punch|3=and Swellow using Thunder Armor}}]]
*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to "Leer right back" by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still.
*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.
*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.
*'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.
*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.
*'''Thunder-Volt Tackle''' is a move combination between Ash's Pikachu and Paul's Electabuzz. Pikachu starts by using Volt Tackle towards Paul's Electabuzz, who grabs him and uses Thunder on him to supercharge the Volt Tackle. This was used in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' to sever the cables with which Team Galactic's helicopters were carrying Veilstone City's meteorites.
*'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.
[[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Volt Tail|2=Counter Shield|3=Massive Electro Ball}}]]
*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.
*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.
*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.
*'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.
*'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. While blocking {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack to protect {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu absorbed some of its opponent's electricity. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, it transferred Thundurus' excess energy into its attack, causing the Electro Ball to crackle with blue lightning and swell to incredibly massive proportions. This supercharged Electro Ball dealt great damage to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.
*'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
{{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}
{{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release.

A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15 through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu was distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 13, 2011, and Canadian Toys 'R' Us locations from February 9 to February 20, 2011. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, this Pikachu does not reject the Thunderstone, and can be evolved at any time.
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン＝リュックピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').

Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with {{an|Misty}}, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with [[Sabrina]], he is easily bested by her Abra.

Pikachu likes Misty and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu MPJ.png|thumb|130px|Ash's Pikachu in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash's Pikachu, along with {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, makes a cameo appearance in the bonus chapters at the end of every volume of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] {{pkmn|manga}} series. In the bonus chapters, Ash and friends have mistakenly wandered into the Magical Pokémon Journey world and are trying to return back to the world of the {{pkmn|anime}}, encountering many unusual situations along the way, including encounters of aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which are different in anime canon.

Ash's Pikachu shows a video to {{MPJ|Pikachu}} of him bouncing a [[Poké Ball]] on his head in [[One Hundred Fifty-One]].

===In the Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl manga===
Ash's Pikachu appears as a main character in the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} manga, which is based on the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the anime.

* Pikachu is {{Ash}}'s only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by {{an|Dawn}}.
** Despite multiple main characters currently owning {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon, Pikachu is still the only one of them which is a member of [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|an evolution family]].
* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. His physical appearance could not be used as proof, since [[gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the anime.
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu.
** Pikachu's gender was also assumed male in the English translation of the [[Ash and Pikachu]] manga, in which Ash and other characters refer to Pikachu with male pronouns.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon of {{Ash}}'s to be used in every Gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].
* In {{pmin|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} has a "Biografía Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.
* Pikachu has used moves introduced in every generation except for [[Generation IV]].

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: He says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese, ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
* Pikachu-Pika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) or '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese).
* Pika-Pikachu: He says this when referring to himself.
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk onto the bow of the ship as the ferry approaches [[Lily of the Valley Island]], the location of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference|Sinnoh Pokémon League]]. Ash is clearly excited at reaching his goal and anticipates the challenge ahead. Once on the ground, they proceed through the village, where many vendors are set up in preparation for the League.

Ash immediately heads to the [[Pokémon Center]] to register for the League, his friends noticing many other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, all with the same ambition. [[Nurse Joy]] takes Ash's [[Pokédex]] and receives his Trainer data on the computer, officially registering him for league participation. {{an|Brock}} makes his routine romantic advances on Nurse Joy, but {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|stops him}} and takes him away. Outside, a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} observes Ash and plots to steal his Pokémon.

Ash and his friends make their way to the living quarters that participating Trainers get to stay in. {{an|Dawn}} admires the setup when [[Conway]] sneaks up behind her and spooks her. Ash and his friends learn that Conway is also participating. Inside, Dawn and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} instantly take a liking to the bed while Ash notices a basket with a note from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Ash immediately contacts him via videophone and requests some of his reserve Pokémon to train with. Dawn is clearly excited to see some of Ash's other Pokémon as onscreen, {{AP|Muk}} instantly hugs up to Professor Oak. Ash prepares for the transfer, exchanging his current [[party]], save for {{AP|Pikachu}}, for others.

In the opposite room with the [[Poké Ball]] transfer machine, Team Rocket sets up, posing as the operators, securing Ash's Pokémon. They take the five Poké Balls (one of them is a {{ball|Lure}}) and leave the room, claiming to be examining them. Outside, {{MTR}} rolls up in a Golf Cart. Ash and his friends wait, becoming uneasy, as the real operator shows up, revealing to Ash and his friends about the imposters.

Outside, Ash and his friends confront Team Rocket who attempt to flee, but Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} sends them flying, along with Ash's Poké Balls. Dawn follows their descent and leads Ash to them. Unfortunately, all five Poké Balls are open and empty. They begin to search for the missing Pokémon. Immediately, Ash spots his {{AP|Corphish}} wandering around, while nearby, his {{AP|Totodile}} is playing in a fountain. Ash calls to his Pokémon and they immediately run towards him. Corphish shows him affection before Ash puts it in the Poké Ball. Ash gets up just as Totodile lands and {{m|bite}}s his head, before hanging onto his shoulder, Ash happily recalling it.

At a nearby kitchen, [[Ash's Snorlax]] proceeds to eat all the food, much to the dismay of the cooks. Ash finds Snorlax and scolds him for eating food that isn't for him, and apologizes to the chefs. Snorlax pulls Ash's Pikachu off of his shoulder and licks him affectionately before Ash recalls Snorlax. After recalling Snorlax, however, he notices a Poké Ball that wasn't called upon for.

Back in [[Kanto]], at Professor Oak's laboratory, the Professor notices that [[Ash's Heracross]] is still there, getting sap out of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, which results in a {{m|Vine Whip|whipping}}. He wonders what Pokémon got sent instead, when Heracross latches onto his head.

Back in [[Sinnoh]], Ash continues to search for his Pokémon when he spots {{an|Barry}} walking towards him, holding his head. Noticing the bump, they ask what happened. Barry recounts being tackled from behind by an unknown Pokémon, unable to identify it, but noted that he could smell something spicy. Ash believes he knows which Pokémon it is. Barry holds Ash accountable since he revealed it was his Pokémon, but Ash and his friends run off.

Ash calls out for the Pokémon, and it hits him from behind. It is his {{AP|Bayleef}}, and she shows clear affection for Ash. Ash tries to put her away, but she takes the Ball out of his hands, wanting to stay outside. Now, they have to search for only one more.

Back at the living quarters, the last Pokémon, Ash's {{p|Cyndaquil}}, wanders about. Team Rocket spots it and charges with a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Cyndaquil flees as the mecha tries to strike. Cyndaquil fights back with a {{m|Flame Wheel}}, dodging the mecha arms and accidentally sets a tree on fire. The smoke gets Ash's attention as he and his friends race to it. They see the situation and Ash has Corphish and Totodile put out the fire, along with Piplup's help. Bayleef launches {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut off the mecha's arms while Pikachu launches a Thunderbolt, but the electricity is ineffective as the mecha replaces its arms.

Cyndaquil hides behind a tree while Bayleef fires another Razor Leaf, but the mecha's chainsaw arm blocks it. Ash calls out Snorlax, but it is sound asleep. Ash tries to wake it by pushing it, but it falls over, knocking the mecha down. The {{t|Water}} Pokémon fire attacks at the mecha, immersing it in water, while Pikachu fires another electric attack, but that fails. The mecha flies into the air as Cyndaquil comes out to battle, firing a {{m|Flamethrower}}. The mecha takes it and spins, sending fireballs raining back down. Cyndaquil scurries to dodge before fleeing from the mecha's drill arm. Cyndaquil hides behind a boulder as the mecha attempts to grab Cyndaquil.

Cyndaquil suddenly begins glowing as the mecha arm backs off. Everyone is amazed as Cyndaquil [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{AP|Quilava}}. Ash checks it with his Pokédex as Quilava fires up its flames, darting underneath the mecha and using a new move, {{m|Eruption}}, to destroy the mecha and send Team Rocket blasting off. Ash is amazed at Quilava's strength.

Later on, Ash talks to Professor Oak as he proceeds to train with more of his Pokémon. His {{AP|Glalie}}, {{AP|Torkoal}}, {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Muk}} and {{AP|Donphan}} get time to {{pkmn|training|train}}. Later at night, the opening ceremony for the Sinnoh League kicks off as all the participating Trainers and spectators gather in the coliseum, watching the torch be lit among the fireworks. Ash looks around and notices familiar faces in the competition: [[Nando]], Conway, Barry and [[Paul]]. The main screen shows the first round pairings. Ash's first match is against Nando.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}

At Cynthia's house, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} are training for the Junior Cup. Dawn decides she needs a break from the training, and suggests they visit a nearby island, known of a special giant Onix. They arrive on the beach where Cilan prepares food for them. All ready, enter the huge cave inhabited by the wild Onix.. The enraged Onix attack them, and they flee. Iris and Dawn hide in a wooden area, and Ash, Cilan and Piplup hide in a forest clearing, therefore the two are separated. Meloetta attempts to calm the Onix down with its songs, but fails. Meloetta then transforms into Pirouette Forme. It uses close combat, after which they flee. Still in search of the special Onix they are cornered by group of Onix about to attack them. Meloetta again sings a song but the Onx are persistent. Suddenly, a huge roar of an Onix is heard. A coiled-up Shiny Onix reveals itself, causing all other Onix to flee. The shiny Onix flees too, and the group find a clearing and a way out of the island. Jarvis reminds them of being careful at such places. They all return back to Cynthia's villa.

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
===Sinnoh===
[[File:Rowan Piplup.png|thumb|left|220px|Piplup in his debut episode]]
In ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Piplup got into a fight with the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Chimchar}} when it stole the last of his {{pkmn|food}}. He caused chaos by using {{m|BubbleBeam}} inside [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab and then fled in hot pursuit of the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. While chasing Chimchar, Piplup got stuck in a web created by an {{p|Ariados}}. Seeing the situation, {{an|Dawn}}, who had been given the task of finding the runaway starters, came up with a plan to make Ariados destroy its own web, freeing Piplup and making him land safely in her arms. However, Ariados returned accompanied by several of its species and attacked them, leading Dawn and Piplup to work as a team to escape from the attack. Having fought the {{pkmn2|wild}} Ariados off and returned to the lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first Pokémon saying their {{pkmn|journey}} together had already begun.

Piplup battled [[Nando's Budew]] in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. He started the {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{m|Peck}} attack but Budew dodged easily and used {{m|Bullet Seed}}. He managed to avoid the glowing yellow seeds and use BubbleBeam, getting a clean hit. However, the {{type|Water}} [[move]] had little effect on the Bud Pokémon. When [[Nando]] ordered Budew to use {{m|SolarBeam}}, Dawn thought the move would take a while to charge and had Piplup using Peck. To her surprise, the {{m|Sunny Day}} Budew used before the battle was still in effect and SolarBeam charged immediately, hitting Piplup and rendering him [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', Piplup was seen practicing for the upcoming [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He had a hard time trying to use BubbleBeam while spinning around in the air, getting dizzy and falling down to the ground in each of his attempts. However, after being motivated by Dawn when helping a group of Water-type Pokémon that had their food stolen by {{TRT}}, he managed to perfect the technique. During the {{series|Best Wishes}}, this technique was used again as a variation of [[Counter Shield]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.
[[File:Dawn with Piplup.png|thumb|right|220px|With Dawn at the Jubilife Contest]]
Piplup made his stage debut in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', where he was used in the Appeals Round of the Jubilife Contest. He came out of a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and used BubbleBeam to keep the bubbles from the Seal suspended in the air before storing up energy for a Peck. The stored energy made his beak extend and he used the {{type|Flying}} attack to explode all the bubbles. With this simple yet remarkable performance, Piplup managed to advance Dawn to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Piplup learned {{m|Whirlpool}} upon seeing Team Rocket escaping with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. He used the new move to absorb {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}} before launching it towards them, restoring Prinplup's energy and allowing it to free itself. After that, he and Prinplup forgot the rivalry they started earlier in the episode and became friends, working together to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

Piplup was used in the Battle Round of the {{to|Floaroma}} Contest in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''. His first battle in the event was against Jessie's Dustox, during which he used {{m|Bide}} to return double the damage he took from {{m|Poison Sting}} before knocking the Poison Moth Pokémon out with a Peck attack. After that he was seen defeating a {{p|Bagon}} to advance to the finals of the competition. There he went up against Kenny's Prinplup. They both used BubbleBeam to start the battle and their moves collided in the center of [[Contest Hall|the stadium]], creating a shower of sparkles. Piplup proceeded with Peck but Prinplup intercepted with {{m|Metal Claw}}, catching and tossing him into the air. Prinplup then used {{m|Drill Peck}} and Piplup countered the attack with Bide. After recovering, Prinplup used Metal Claw but Piplup dodged and used Whirlpool. The large water vortex engulfed Prinplup, costing {{si|Kenny}} precious points, but was ultimately destroyed by a powerful BubbleBeam. Prinplup followed with {{m|Mist}} to cloak the stage before using Drill Peck and Piplup answered with another Whirlpool. The two Pokémon jumped into the vortex and faced off inside it, with Piplup using Peck and Prinplup using Metal Claw. They then used BubbleBeam again and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, giving Dawn her first [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Dawn entered Piplup as a {{p|Weedle}} in the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest, an annual [[Pokémon Cosplay|cosplay]] competition organized by the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] where Pokémon try to imitate other Pokémon. During his impression, Piplup got a little too excited and used BubbleBeam, a move Weedle cannot learn, thus ruining his chances of winning the event.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Dawn learned from [[Zoey]] that the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest was going to be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. She paired up Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in order to train for this kind of performance and develop some new [[Contest combination]]s. She told Pachirisu to use {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and Piplup to use Whirlpool, but things didn't go quite as planned as the large whirlpool covered all the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She also tried to combine Whirlpool and {{m|Discharge}}, but Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful and it evaporated Piplup's Whirlpool.

Piplup was used in the Appeals Round of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest along with Pachirisu in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. He used BubbleBeam to encase the hearts of Pachirisu's Sweet Kiss and his Whirlpool was dissipated in a flash of sparkles by Pachirisu's Discharge. Their performance received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] but it wasn't impressive enough to advance Dawn to the Contest Battles.
[[File:Dawn Piplup May Blaziken.png|thumb|left|220px|With May's Blaziken]]
Piplup was seen battling alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}} against a {{p|Koffing}} and a {{p|Scyther}} in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to the second round.

In ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', Piplup battled alongside [[Leona]]'s {{p|Swinub}} against [[Ash's Chimchar]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. The battle ended in a draw when all four Pokémon were {{status|freeze|frozen solid}}. In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he battled against [[Roman]]'s {{p|Girafarig}} and [[Kylie]]'s {{p|Drifloon}} along with [[May's Blaziken]] in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] [[Tag Battle]] challenge. Using a combination of BubbleBeam and {{m|Fire Spin}} that trapped their opponents inside it, they were able to win the battle.

Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Wallace Cup]]. He was first used to battle {{si|Kyle}}'s {{p|Crawdaunt}} in the semifinal round. Their battle began in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' with a collision of BubbleBeam and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} that cost their {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s some points. As the battle continued in the following episode, the two Pokémon jumped in the pool and charged at each other, with Piplup using his Whirlpool to trap Crawdaunt in a vortex. However, his move was taken advantage of when Crawdaunt used {{m|Surf}}, sending him backwards. Crawdaunt proceeded with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but Piplup avoided the attack with his spinning dodge technique and used Bide to absorb the energy from the two purple beams. When Crawdaunt jumped in the air to strike Piplup with a {{m|Crabhammer}}, Piplup released the absorbed energy, hitting the Rogue Pokémon and causing it to fall into the water just as the time ran out. Piplup won the battle on points, allowing Dawn to advance to the final round.
[[File:Piplup versus Glaceon.png|thumb|right|220px|Battling May's Glaceon]]
In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', Dawn used Piplup in the finals of the Wallace Cup, where he went up against [[May's Glaceon]]. He started with BubbleBeam, but the {{type|Ice}} Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Secret Power}}, {{status|paralysis|paralyzing}} him. The battle proceeded with Glaceon using {{m|Ice Shard}}, which hit the paralyzed Piplup hard. After that, Piplup jumped in the pool to get rid of the paralysis. When out of the water, he used Whirlpool, but Glaceon received the attack with {{m|Mirror Coat}} and returned it to him, sending him flying backwards. Piplup quickly recovered and used BubbleBeam again, this time hitting Glaceon. When the Fresh Snow Pokémon used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Piplup spun and dodged it. Glaceon then decided to take advantage of the water covering the stage and attack with Secret Power to try and put Piplup to {{status|sleep}}. Despite being hit and sent flying in the air, Piplup was able to spin gracefully and land in a pose, rendering Glaceon's attack unsuccessful. Glaceon fired another Shadow Ball but Piplup used BubbleBeam once more, destroying it. Piplup followed with Peck, but Glaceon dodged and used Ice Shard. The icy projectiles did not hit Piplup, though, as he used Whirlpool to defend himself. With only one minute left on the clock, Dawn and {{an|May}} had the same amount of points. Piplup then charged at Glaceon surfing in his own Whirlpool. Before Piplup could reach it, Glaceon used Shadow Ball to destroy the Whirlpool, creating a curtain of water. Taking advantage of the situation, Piplup came out from behind the curtain and used BubbleBeam, surprising Glaceon, who then used another Shadow Ball. Piplup destroyed the shadowy blob with a Peck attack, creating a dark purple curtain. This time, it was Glaceon who took advantage of the curtain, using Ice Shard to strike Piplup. Piplup used Whirlpool one last time and Glaceon once again countered with Mirror Coat. Both Pokémon were hit by the water from the Whirlpool and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, breaking Dawn's [[DP049|losing]] [[DP061|streak]] and giving her the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}, her second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.

While exploring the ferry from [[Iron Island]] to [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'', Piplup was kidnapped by Team Rocket and taken to their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine]] along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. When the sub was dragged away by a strong current, the two Pokémon ended up on an island located in [[Diablo's Ocean]]. There, they helped the local Pokémon to collect pieces of rocks to put them around a crystal that fell from the sky one stormy night. When they gathered enough rocks, Team Rocket appeared to capture them again, but Dawn and Ash arrived on the island just in time to prevent this. At that moment the crystal glowed brightly and turned into a {{p|Deoxys}}. Team Rocket tried to capture it, but the [[Legendary Pokémon|mythical Pokémon]] destroyed their sub, sending them blasting off. After this adventurous day, Piplup and Pikachu returned to their Trainers.
[[File:Dawn Piplup no evolution.png|thumb|left|220px|Resisting his evolution]]
When Piplup was about to train with {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Dawn's other Pokémon}} in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', he collapsed from exhaustion, worrying Dawn. Soon after, he started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. However, he used Bide to stop the process and collapsed again. As a result, Brock rushed him to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy explained he just needed some rest. Later, when Dawn was talking to him, he started to evolve again. She told him to let it happen this time, but he used Bide to discontinue the process. As she questioned his motives and spoke to him about the pros of evolving, he got angry and fled the Center. Dawn followed him through the woods, but he kept running away from her, angry at her for not understanding his unwillingness to evolve. While running, he got caught in a web. Dawn tried to help him, but an Ariados appeared and attacked her. The attack destroyed the web and freed Piplup, who landed in Dawn's arms. After that, several Ariados appeared and attacked them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Piplup used Bide to send them flying, just like the day he and Dawn first met. Making matters worse, Team Rocket appeared and captured Piplup. While trying to retrieve her Pokémon, Dawn learned that past events have motivated Piplup to stay the way he is. This made Dawn realize that on the day she chose Piplup, he chose her as well. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they returned to the Center, where Nurse Joy gave Dawn an {{evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup's evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{si|Lulu}}'s {{p|Marill}}. However, a wild {{p|Elekid}} was also competing for her affections. When the three Pokémon got separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid worked together to save her. Once Marill was saved, she decided to go with Elekid, leaving Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Piplup was used alongside Pachirisu in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as [[Johanna]]'s Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double Shadow Ball. After that, Dawn had Piplup using BubbleBeam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged once again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as BubbleBeam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuation|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Piplup was used to battle {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} in the [[Johto Festival]] battling exhibition. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, he was still able to defeat the Leaf Pokémon, earning Dawn a [[Pokémon Egg]].

Piplup was used in the Appeals Round of the [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''. For his performance, he used Whirlpool and then Bide. His Whirlpool came straight down on him and joined forces with Bide, causing him to glow an intense blue from the energy reaction. His appeal was praised by the judges and allowed Dawn to advance to the Battle Round.
[[File:Piplup Togekiss DP177.png|thumb|right|220px|At the Grand Festival with Togekiss]]
In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Piplup teamed up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to perform at the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, which was being held under the Double Performance rule. They finished a stunning performance by exploding the frozen bubbles and sending a shower of sparkles down to the crowd, assuring Dawn's progression to the next round.

As in the Wallace Cup, Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', he was revealed to have helped Dawn in defeating her quarterfinal round opponent together with Pachirisu, thus allowing her to advance further in the competition. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', he went up against [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}} alongside {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} in the finals. Despite putting several of the techniques he perfected during his training sessions to good use and combining his moves with Togekiss's nicely, he was unable to bring Dawn the victory.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn gave Piplup a new cheering uniform for him to wear during {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when he realized that {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving, since he couldn't accept the fact. However, Dawn and everyone else consoled him saying they would always be friends to the end.

In [[SS024]], he was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. However, when they unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle had to be interrupted due to them fighting.

===Unova===
[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|right|220px|With his rival, Ash's Oshawott]]
Piplup came to [[Unova]] with Dawn prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In the following episode, he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all the other Pokémon when they were brought out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta, too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Ramone]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Using Drill Peck, he was able to defeat his opponent, thus allowing Dawn to proceed to the second round.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Piplup grew sad when saying goodbye to Meloetta before leaving for [[Johto]] with Dawn. His rival Oshawott then confronted him one more time, but their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bid a teary farewell. After that, Piplup jumped onto the plane and departed.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Dawn Piplup angry.png|thumb|right|220px|An angry Piplup]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]]. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when a {{p|Chimchar}} stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when he repeatedly missed out on eating a [[Berry]] and started a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', or when Dawn said [[Ash's Gible]] did not have ill intent when he was practicing his {{m|Draco Meteor}} in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first, being easily defeated by [[Nando's Budew]] in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and a {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, being used more than any of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} and having helped her win her first two {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. He seems to be very competitive and will always try to overcome the odds to impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn and commonly tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.
[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|left|220px|Piplup showing off in his new costume]]
It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a close bond with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', he helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|BubbleBeam}} at her face. Two episodes later, in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', he barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only half a point to help Dawn win the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted with him being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was the same.

Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a running gag. This event was expanded in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', where Piplup ran away from {{ashfr|the group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped him learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically, it was implied in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' that Draco Meteor can be used to differentiate Piplup from other Piplup.

Dawn's Piplup always seems like he wants attention off everyone, this may be due to the fact of all the [[Pokémon Contest]]s he performed in.

===Moves improvised===
* '''Spinning Bubblebeam'''/'''[[Counter Shield]]''' was a move Piplup perfected in ''[[DP007|Like or Lup it!]]'', where Piplup spin in the air while using {{m|BubbleBeam}} so the bubbles would explode in a big circle creating a appealing move. This move was used again during Piplup's battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'' as a variation of Counter Shield. Piplup spins around while using {{m|BubbleBeam}} to counter the {{m|Rock Tomb}}, destroying it, while taking zero damage.

[[File:SkyAttack Peck Combination.png|thumb|200px|Rocket Formation from ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'']]
* '''Spin''' was first used in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'' where Piplup, together with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, battled an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. He spun around and used {{m|BubbleBeam}}. In ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' he spun while using {{m|Bide}}, absorbing a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack and turning purple. A spinning variation of {{m|Peck}} was used in its Contest appeal in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. It was used again in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' to dodge [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Gallade}}'s {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

* '''Sweet Kiss-BubbleBeam''' was used in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]'' First {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} uses {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, and then Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and the two moves combine making the hearts go inside the bubbles.

* '''Bubble Sphere''' was used in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' it was the first attack made by Dawn, it starts off with Piplup using {{m|BubbleBeam}} and it forms into a circle and then Togekiss uses Aura Sphere in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because Zoey destroyed it with her Glameow and Gallade in a matter of seconds.

[[File:Dawn Piplup Big Bubble.png|thumb|200px|Big Bubble used in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'']]
* '''Aura Whirlpool''' was used in the final battle of the Sinnoh Grand Festival against Zoey. For the move, after Piplup launched a {{m|Whirlpool}} Togekiss would then fire an {{m|Aura Sphere}} inside, causing the Whirlpool to turn blue. Using this move, Piplup and Togekiss were able to successfully counter {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and Gallade's Signal-Tail combination.

*'''Rocket Formation''' was also used in the final battle of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] against her long-time rival [[Zoey]] in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]''. Dawn orders [[Dawn's Togekiss|her Togekiss]] to utilize {{m|Sky Attack}} while having Piplup on her back, and consequently she orders Piplup to use {{m|Peck}}. It results on a crimson aerial attack which resembles a Rocket, that Dawn uses to conclude her battle.

* '''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup's {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

* '''Bubble-Swift Combination''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]] it starts off with Piplup jumping on top of Cyndaquil and forming BubbleBeam into a circle then Cyndaquil uses Swift in the middle of the circle. It is unknown what Dawn was going to do with this, because [[Johanna]] destroyed it with her Glameow and Umbreon in a matter of seconds.

* '''Flaming Whirlpool''' was a combination Dawn worked on during her time at home prior to [[SS024]]. For the combination, Piplup would cover a {{m|Flame Wheel}} created by Cyndaquil with a Whirlpool which created a sphere of water with fire inside. However, when Dawn attempted to use it during her practice battle against [[Johanna]], the combination failed, throwing both Pokémon to the ground.

* '''Big Bubble''' was a move Piplup used to fight off the {{p|Onix}} in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''. Piplup used BubbleBeam but instead of multiple bubbles, it was one big bubble that surrounded Onix's head much like {{m|Water Pulse}} would. This caused a lot of damage and knocked the Onix out.

==In the manga==
===In the movie adaptations===

The role of Piplup is basically the same in all the chapters, however in most stories it is shown inside his [[Poké Ball]] and has fewer interactions with Pokémon present in the story.

===The Rise of Darkrai===
He is first shown when Dawn sends her Pokémon out to play with several other Pokémon. Later, he is used in to battle against {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} alongside with {{p|Buizel}} but they are both defeated by the great power of the {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dawn and Piplup2.png|thumb|190px|right|Dawn and her very confident Piplup]]
[[File:Piplup C-Gear skin.png|thumb|190px|right|A [[C-Gear]] skin featuring Piplup]]
* For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと ''Potchama ga, mizu ni tobikomu, potchanto'' "{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."
* The opening sequence of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a star seal with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
* Dawn has been keeping Piplup outside of his Ball, instead of inside of it, much like Ash keeps his {{AP|Pikachu}}, though Piplup never directly expressed that he did not like being inside of the Ball.
** Piplup was unwilling to obey Dawn when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends after Pikachu and Piplup saved their respective Trainers from an attacking group of Pokémon; Pikachu saved Ash from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} while Piplup saved Dawn from a swarm of {{p|Ariados}}.
*** Also, he has [[DP122|expressed reluctance]] to evolve and chose to stay in his base form for the time being, and Dawn was given an {{Evostone|Everstone}} to prevent Piplup from evolving.
* Piplup's gender was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.
* Piplup has battled his two evolutions; a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', and an {{p|Empoleon}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not evolve very soon, referring to his evolutions as "ugly" or not good for Contests.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.
* Piplup was featured in a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Skins#C-Gear skins|promotional C-Gear]] skin alongside [[Brock's Croagunk]] in Japan to celebrate the [[SS024|anime]] [[SS025|specials]] featuring {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}}. This Piplup was later distributed as [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Recital Piplup|event]] Pokémon for Japanese games to commemorate his appearance in ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes! Season 2]]''.
* Piplup has been shown to use more improvised moves than ''actual'' moves, with eight actual moves used and ten improvised moves.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
After the events of ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', {{an|Misty}} is on her way back to [[Cerulean City]]. Misty comments to {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} that they are almost home, and promises to get something to eat as soon as they get there. As Togepi happily cries out, Misty reaches the top of a hill and sees Cerulean City spread out before her.

As she arrives in town, she notices a lot of people congregating around a large TV screen. On it, there is a news report about the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], which has just closed down their fourth [[Gym]] in less than a month. It cuts to Agent Thedora, who explains that they are nailing down on anything substandard. This means that any "unsafe, unclean, or uncool" Gym will be shut down by them. Hearing rumors that they were on their way to Cerulean City, Misty rushes to get there before they do. Before she can get there, she is spotted by The [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]], who are determined to get revenge.

Finally at [[Cerulean Gym]], Misty calls out to see if anybody is there. However, everyone is preoccupied by a {{p|Gyarados}} in the swimming pool that seems very angry. At the side of the pool is [[Nurse Joy]] with four boys, one of which falls in. As the Gyarados begins to chase him, Misty arrives and asks what's wrong. The boys introduce themselves as the local chapter of her sisters' fan club, and comment that she is almost as pretty as they are. They were looking after the Gym until Misty got back, but Gyarados has been in an endless rage for days, and they can't calm it down. Nurse Joy explains that it is caught in an endless agitation loop, and suggests that Misty could think of something.

Misty decides to try to get Gyarados to return, but Joy tells her that it won't work while Gyarados is so distressed. Next, Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}. However, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} also comes out, and falls into the water. Before it drowns, Gyarados {{m|headbutt}}s it out, hitting the boy who is still in the pool, and sending them both onto the poolside. As Politoed claps, the fan club make a hasty exit while Gyarados continues to rage.

Misty and Joy head downstairs, where Misty is reunited with {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. However, Gyarados is now in the aquarium and Misty needs to figure out what to do. Joy confirms that she will need to find a way to rein it back in, but there is a problem: Misty has a fear of Gyarados that goes back to when she was a baby. As she was crawling along, she crawled into the mouth of a Gyarados and was almost eaten. Misty decides that she will have to get over her fear if she wants to uphold her responsibility. Watching in the window, the Invincible Pokémon Brothers decide to use the Gyarados problem against her.

Misty in now on the diving board in her mermaid costume. She explains that she once took part in a water ballet with the Gyarados when it was a {{p|Magikarp}}, and that recreating their special moment may calm it down. After diving into the water, she is joined by the Gym Pokémon, who then dance with her. Gyarados watches for a moment, but then uses {{m|Whirlpool}} on them. Trapped, Misty runs out of air, but in her last moments of consciousness she sees Horsea pushing her to the surface.

In a foggy area, Misty sees {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}. They ask what she is doing there and if it is true that they made her the [[Gym Leader]] of Cerulean. Misty tells them that they made a mistake, and that she is not good enough. But they say that of course she is, and that they believe in her. As they float away, Misty calls that she needs their help. Suddenly, her foot becomes trapped, which is revealed to be held by Gyarados. She wakes up, and drinks the tea that Joy hands to her. Nurse Joy suggests separating Gyarados for the safety of the other Pokémon, and Misty agrees.

Misty gives Gyarados one more chance to return its [[Poké Ball]], which is resisted. She then traps it in a cage, which Gyarados can't get out of. Misty feels bad for it, but before she can contemplate too much the Invincible Pokémon Brothers make an announcement to Cerulean City. They announce that as Misty has lost control of her Pokémon (not exactly true since she never had control of it to begin with), it is time for a change of Gym Leader. They challenge Misty to a battle, with the winner becoming the new Gym Leader. The residents of Cerulean City rush in to watch the battle.

The Invincible Pokémon Brothers introduce themselves as Kim, Khan, and Kam. They tell Misty that allowing a Pokémon to control her makes her unfit to lead a Gym, and suggest that she is too scared to battle because she would lose easily in front of everyone. Misty accepts the challenge. As the boy who fell in the pool earlier begins the commentary, Nurse Joy announces that the battle will consist of three one-on-one matches. Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, while Kim sends out {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Hitmonchan begins to drown, so Misty tells Staryu to help it out. However, it was a decoy and Hitmonchan punches Staryu, who goes down in one hit. Nurse Joy declares that to be an illegal move, and proclaims Staryu the winner.

Next, Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, while Kim sends out {{p|Tentacruel}}. Tentacruel starts out with {{m|BubbleBeam}}, which hurts Corsola badly. However, Misty orders a {{m|Recover}}, and then sends Corsola into a {{m|Tackle}} attack. As Corsola heads towards Tentacruel, Kain and Kon send out their own Tentacruel, which both bash into Corsola. As Corsola crashes into a rock near Gyarados, Nurse Joy tells them that it is a rule violation. Kim denies this stating that the challenge was from the Invincible Pokémon Brothers, and not just him. Everyone seems to forget that the challenge was for one-on-one battles. Misty comments that Kim is too chicken to fight by himself, and the brothers react by ordering the Tentacruel to use {{m|Poison Sting}}. Corsola is badly hurt, and so Misty dives in to save it.

Nurse Joy disqualifies them, and bans them from all official Pokémon matches. To try to reverse this, the Tentacruel are ordered to use Poison Sting on Gyarados. Misty impulsively protects Gyarados by diving in front of the stings and takes the hits herself. Gyarados is taken aback by how far Misty is willing to go to protect it. Kim's Tentacruel then Tackles her into the cage, and the air is knocked out of her. As she floats down to the bottom of the pool, Gyarados is horrified that she could drown, and it frantically begins to bang on the cage again. As everyone other than the Invincible Pokémon Brothers watch in worry, Gyarados makes a particularly powerful hit, making the cage collapse. Gyarados quickly speeds Misty to the surface.

The Invincible Pokémon Brothers are not happy with this turn of events, and order the Tentacruel to attack with {{m|Bind}}, BubbleBeam, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. However, Gyarados easily reflects these, before using a {{m|Hyper Beam}} to send the Tentacruel blasting off. A Hydro Pump quickly sends the Invincible Pokémon Brothers to the same fate. As the crowd cheers, {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} happily returns to its Poké Ball. Nurse Joy congratulates Misty and tells her that she has proven herself to be a fine Gym Leader, and that her Gym has passed inspection. Misty is confused, but Joy explains that she is a Pokémon Inspection Agent.

Outside the Gym, Agent Joy explains that she is now going to the [[Hoenn]] region. Misty asks her that if she meets Ash, to pass along a message that Misty has finally made it as a Gym Leader. Agent Joy agrees, and then sets off. As Misty watches her go, she thinks of Ash and Brock, and knows that they were right that she could do it on her own. As a new chapter of Misty's life begins, she begins training the Gym Pokémon.

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are watching [[Gary Oak]]'s Round 4 match in the Rock Field. Gary's {{p|Nidoking}} is pitted against [[Melissa]]'s {{p|Golem}}. Nidoking charges with a {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Golem counters by grabbing on Nidoking's horn, then uses {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Nidoking is defeated and Gary is out of the competition. Frustrated by the defeat, Gary heads home. Ash thinks that he's going to lose his Round 4 match on the Grass Field as well, and becomes nervous, but Brock and Misty cheer him on. He then later learns, thanks to {{an|Professor Oak}}, that all of Pallet Town is cheering him on, which only makes him more nervous.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} have opened up a snack stand so they can make money, selling snacks and even fake [[badge|Gym Badges]] which Meowth made from bottlecaps, but like always, their true intention is to steal the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

At the Grass Field, Ash is getting ready for his next match with [[Jeanette Fisher]]. As always, Brock becomes lovestruck and starts to root for Jeanette. Misty admonishes Brock for that. Ash starts off with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and Jeanette uses {{p|Beedrill}}. The {{type|Bug}} Pokémon is about to hit Bulbasaur with {{m|Poison Sting}}, but Bulbasaur dodges it. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Beedrill counters with {{m|Twineedle}}. Bulbasaur dodges the attack again. Misty is hoping Jeanette may not have more Pokémon like her Beedrill, and Brock is hoping Jeanette doesn't have a boyfriend. Misty tells him, "There's no way that boyfriend is going to be you, mister, if that girl beats Ash!". Ash has Bulbasaur use {{m|Leech Seed}}, draining away Beedrill's energy. Brock becomes depressed that Beedrill is losing, but Misty reminds him of who he should be rooting for. Ash then tells Bulbasaur to finish it off using {{m|Tackle}}. Jeanette's Beedrill faints and Bulbasaur wins.

Jeanette sends her next Pokémon, {{p|Scyther}}. Bulbasaur launches a {{m|Razor Leaf}} at it, but Scyther uses {{m|Double Team}} to evade. Scyther gets in a few hits before Ash gets the idea to use {{m|Vine Whip}} on all the targets, so Bulbasaur will eventually hit the real one. The plan works, and Scyther is knocked out.

Unwavering, Jeanette sends out her last Pokémon - {{p|Bellsprout}}. Ash laughs at first, saying she must be desperate to use something so obviously weak. Bulbasaur uses a Tackle attack, but Bellsprout bends away in a wobble-like manner with ease, picks up Bulbasaur, repeatedly {{m|slam}}s him into the ground, and knocks Bulbasaur out.

Ash is shocked at this loss. Brock realizes that Jeanette's Bellsprout must be exceptionally trained, or else it would not be used in a League battle.

Ash sends out {{AP|Pikachu}} to try to fight. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}}, but Bellsprout's roots keep it ingrained and immune to electric attacks. Bellsprout uses a powerful Slam and Pikachu is knocked out.

Down to his last Pokémon, Ash pauses for a second and sends out... {{AP|Muk}}. Both Misty and Brock are shocked that Ash recalled Muk from Oak's lab as a backup Pokémon. Muk is able to absorb Bellsprout's Slam and Razor Leaf attacks with ease, then uses a {{m|Body Slam}} (essentially smothering Bellsprout) to finish it off.

Ash wins the battle, and has now cleared all four preliminary fields.

==Major events==
* {{Gary}} loses, placing in the Top 32 in the [[Indigo League Conference]] and heads home.
* {{Ash}} uses his {{AP|Muk}} in battle for the first time.
* Ash's Muk is revealed to know {{m|Body Slam}}.
* Ash wins his fourth and final preliminary round match in the Pokémon League and advances to the fifth round, securing him a place in the Indigo Stadium.

* This episode marks the third appearance of James's {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. In ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'', Victreebel's voice is low, but like in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', its voice is extremely screechy and high-pitched in this episode.

* On its original airing in Japan, it was followed by a {{DL|Clip show|Prime time clip shows|clip-show summing up the previous episodes}}.

===Errors===
[[File:EP077 error.png|thumb|200px|right|Professor Oak's eyebrows]]
* When Officer Jenny commands her Growlithe to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, she incorrectly refers to it Arcanine in the dub, and its cry is also identical to the Arcanine in the previous episode.
* In one shot, {{an|Professor Oak}}'s eyebrows change to large and gray.
* At the commercial break, just before the beginning of the "Who's That Pokémon?" segment, the screen turns black for a split-second and blue Japanese characters appear in the lower-right corner.
* When Jeanette commands her Scyther to use {{m|Slash}}, the next command was a dubbing error. In the dub, Scyther uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. In the original Japanese version, it was {{m|Swift}}.
* Jeanette's Beedrill used {{m|Tackle}}, which Beedrill [[Anime move errors|cannot legally learn]] in the games.
* When the screen pans horizontally across the central flame, the stadium shifts repeatedly.

JDDJS: /* In the anime */

{{incomplete|article|needs TCG section}}
:''For the [[Elite Four]] {{pkmn|Champion}} in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, see [[Blue (game)]]''.
:''For the Japanese opening theme, see [[The Rivals]].''
----
[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the [[Pokémon games]] that is well known to the {{player|protagonist}} and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character. Like the player character, some rivals have a chance to be named; the rivals that cannot be named are Brendan/May (if the other character is chosen), Wally, Cheren, and Bianca.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though {{ga|Wally}}, [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[Trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

'''Once More With Reeling!''' (Japanese: '''サトシVSハルカ！ラストバトル！！''' ''{{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} vs. {{tt|Haruka|May}}! Last Battle!!'') is the 191st episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 465th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 7, 2006 and in the USA on February 24, 2007.


{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
With {{Ash}}’s victory at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}} passed, the group arrives at [[Terracotta Town]]. Everyone plans to go back home, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]] taking a ship to [[Hoenn]], {{an|Brock}} returning to Pewter City and Ash returning to Pallet Town. As the group checks out the town, May finds a sign for a special [[Pokémon Contest]]. May signs up for it. Ash shocks everyone by deciding to enter as well since it is not an official Contest, meaning he doesn’t need a pass.

Ash and May go to the Contest Hall and register. Ash signs {{AP|Pikachu}} for the appeals round and {{AP|Sceptile}} for battle. May chooses {{TP|May|Eevee}} for the appeal and {{p|Combusken}} for the battle. This Contest is special in which the top two in the appeals round will move to the battle.

The appeals round begin with the local [[Nurse Joy]] judging. May takes the stage first with her Eevee. It uses {{m|Dig}} to form several holes on the battlefield. From underground, Eevee launches {{m|Shadow Ball}} through the holes to create a fireworks display, impressing the crowd. Other contestants take the stage, some appealing better than the others.

Finally, Ash takes the stage. Even though this is his first Contest, the crowd cheers him on for being in the Top Eight of the Hoenn League. Pikachu executes {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} to create an electric ring before using {{m|Iron Tail}} to send it bouncing across the field. Pikachu repeats the move to create a group of bouncing electric rings. The appeals round ends, and the top two are decided. May takes first place with Ash as the runner-up.

During the break, Ash and May take time to practice. {{TRT}} arrives in a giant ship float, attracting the competing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with food. They capture the Pokémon with a giant net. Ash and {{ashfr}} confront them, and [[James]] launches another net to capture Pikachu. Combusken frees the Pokémon with {{m|Mega Kick}}, and Sceptile catches the net, sending them to safety. Combusken collapses, seeming exhausted, but it evolves into {{TP|May|Blaziken}}. It easily dodges Team Rocket’s net and uses {{m|Blaze Kick}} to destroy the float, sending them flying.

The Contest battle pits May's Blaziken against Ash's Sceptile. Max doesn't want either of them to lose. May and Ash shake hands before the Contest battle begins. It appears that May has the advantage, but the match is fairly even, both Pokémon matching opening executions.

Sceptile opens with {{m|Pound}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, and {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Blaziken dodges them all, and Ash loses points. To make up for it, Sceptile chases Blaziken towards the wall, preventing it from dodging Pound. Sceptile fires Bullet Seed, but Blaziken’s {{m|Fire Spin}} neutralizes it and hurts Sceptile. Blaziken attacks with {{m|Sky Uppercut}}, but Sceptile dodges, taking May's points. Sceptile’s Leaf Blade and Pound attack knock down Blaziken, setting points even at the halfway mark. Sceptile follows up with Bullet Seed and Pound. It tries Leaf Blade, but Blaziken dodges. Blaziken attacks with Sky Uppercut, but Sceptile matches it with Leaf Blade, negating both attacks. Blaziken uses Blaze Kick but Sceptile’s Pound matches it as well.

With one minute left, the points are identical, but both Pokémon are exhausted. Sceptile activates {{a|Overgrow}}, and Blaziken matches with {{a|Blaze}}. Neither Pokémon can gain an advantage, with moves evenly matched. Sceptile’s Leaf Blade and Pound match Blaziken’s Sky Uppercut and Blaze Kick. Ash and May lose points fairly evenly. With ten seconds left, Sceptile unleashes {{m|SolarBeam}} while Blaziken fires {{m|Overheat}}. The attack creates a big explosion that covers the scoreboard. Time expires, but it is unclear who won. The outcome will be revealed in the next episode.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} enters his first (though unofficial) [[Pokémon Contest]].
* {{an|May}}'s {{p|Combusken}} evolves into {{TP|May|Blaziken}} and learns {{m|Blaze Kick}}.
* Ash and May enter the final round with {{AP|Sceptile}} and Blaziken respectively.
* May's Blaziken is revealed to have {{a|Blaze}} as its Ability.

==Trivia==
[[File:AG191 Contest Banner.png|thumb|right|Recolored version of the Pokémon logo]]
* An alternate cut of 私、負けない！～ハルカのテーマ～ ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'' is used as background music during May's appeal.
* An alternate cut of ''[[Spurt!]]'' is used as background music during Ash's appeal.
* ''Dance of the Bellossom'' is used as background music during the other appeals.
* ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' is used as background music during the battle between Ash and May.
* May's Combusken and Blaziken are both listed in the credits separately, as they have different voice actors.
* The flag on the Team Rocket mecha depicts a variant of the {{wp|Flag of Japan}} and {{wp|Mount Fuji}}.
* The unofficial Contest was promoted using a recolored version of the international logo for the Pokémon franchise (that shows the word "Pokémon" in red letters bordered in a yellow outline, while the actual logo has yellow letters that are bordered in blue). Also, no [[Generation III]] Pokémon appear on the poster.
* This episode's title is a pun on the saying "{{wp|once more with feeling}}".
* In ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'', it was established that Contest battles ending in ties would result in an extra battle. Ash and May did not have an extra battle even though they tied. It is possible that an extra battle was not held because it was an unofficial Contest.
* Two green-eyed Jigglypuff are visible.
** One of these may be a consistency error.

===Errors===
* As Team Rocket hauls in the nets the nets are opaque.
** This is likely an animation simplifier.
* In one scene as the camera looks down on the Team Rocket float and the various Pokémon come running up to them, the dorsal fin on their Magikarp net launcher is red.
* When Team Rocket launches their nets, the nets have large holes to get the Pokémon. Moments later, the holes are gone with no trace of the orange weights or the hole.
* In one scene toward the end, when Blaziken uses Overheat, its eyes are red instead of blue. This may be intentional.
* The announcer incorrectly states that Overgrow ups the power of all attacks and implies the same for Blaze.

==Synopsis==
The day begins with everyone waiting for the [[Whirl Cup]] Colosseum as the water drains out somewhat. Soon all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and audience watch {{jo|Maya}}. She congratulates them as well as wishing them a little luck. She then puts her staff that has a sapphire at the end towards the sun which makes the area glow bluish for a while. The prize given to the winning Trainer is {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Mystic Water|a pendant}} that helps the {{t|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who wears it. {{TRT}}, acting like vendors, gazes upon the staff more than the pendant. They find a scheme to try to snatch it.

The way the Whirl Cup tournament goes is a two "block" division, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} are in block "A". Ash notices he only has {{AP|one Water Pokémon|Totodile}}, so he calls {{an|Professor Oak}} to swap a Pokémon for {{AP|Kingler}}. He puts in {{AP|Bayleef}} and he gets Kingler. Back at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Oak releases Bayleef, but Bayleef gets a little scared of Oak and runs around eventually ramming into Oak. The first day all contestants in block A fight off. Ash and Misty sort of get into a fight before the first match begins but {{an|Brock}} helps settle things out.

The second round of Block A pits Ash against {{jo|Christopher}}. Ash uses Totodile for this round and his opponent calls out {{p|Kingdra}}. Ash takes a quick scan on it and Brock in the bleachers comments to Misty that Ash might not have a good time with this one. Being {{2t|Water|Dragon}}, Totodile's Water [[Move|attacks]] are practically useless. Ash takes the lead and commands Totodile to dive under the water but Kingdra counters with a {{m|Twister}}. Totodile snaps out of it and lands on one of the platforms. After that Kingdra shoots a {{m|Hydro Pump}} at Totodile, but Totodile simply walks along the water and gets close enough to do {{m|Bite}}, but Kingdra dives, Totodile doing the same. Kingdra releases a {{m|SmokeScreen}} that covers up the water. With no other option, Ash tells Totodile to jump out of the water. The battle comes to a standstill because it was expected that Ash would have Totodile risk it and jump back in. Fed up, the Trainer tells Kingdra to jump up and try another Hydro Pump. Ash however tells Totodile to use Bite on Kingdra, aiming for the snout. Totodile is successful and plugs up Kingdra's snout causing all the water to hold back. After a while Totodile releases and Kingdra goes flying across and eventually getting [[fainting|knocked out]]. Ash wins the match. After the match, Team Rocket is still devising a plan to get Maya's staff. Except a supervisor comes by and they seem to have a strong patriotism to the sales pitch. Later that night Misty stares at the coliseum from the [[Pokémon Center]] window thinking. Ash notices and they have the talk about what will happen if they end up battling each other.

The third round of Block A has Misty battling {{OBP|Harrison|Whirl Cup}}. Harrison is one of the older Trainers, so he has a snobbish attitude when he steps up to the arena. The match is on, {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} against {{p|Qwilfish}}. Qwilfish begins the match by shooting a {{m|Water Gun}} but Corsola reflects it back with a {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Seeing that this tactic won't work Harrison tells it to start swallowing water. As the announcer says that this is used for preparing a volley of spikes, Misty thinks fast. Qwilfish soon releases {{m|Pin Missile}} and so Corsola counters with {{m|Spike Cannon}}. The two attacks explode in mid air knocking Corsola back but Qwilfish took refuge in the waters. Taking advantage of this Qwilfish makes a {{m|Tackle}} attack to Corsola. Worried that Corsola is going to burn out anytime, Misty tells it to use {{m|Recover}}, however Qwilfish has already started up another Tackle. By the time Corsola recovered, Qwilfish already zeroed in. Corsola and Qwilfish dive down and Qwilfish reappears, but so does Corsola, below Qwilfish. Qwilfish is stuck on Corsola's head and can't do much about this so it just swims around. Misty finally gets an idea and tells Corsola to use Spike Cannon. Corsola fires the Spike Cannon sending Qwilfish sky-high, Misty winning the match. During the battle, Team Rocket make their move towards Maya's staff but they failed. [[Officer Jenny]] is there and notices them, so they quickly get out their snacks-for-sale and pretend they were going to sell them.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Ash and Misty wait for the results of the tournament, which inevitably turns out that Ash is up against Misty for the next round.

* Dragonair, ineligible for the Whirl Cup due to being only {{type|Dragon}}, is depicted while Maya gives her opening speech.
* Brock says that Corsola, as part Rock type, would have been in serious trouble if Qwilfish's Water Gun hit. This is incorrect, Corsola is affected normally by Water-type moves.

'''Viridian Forest''' (Japanese: '''トキワのもり''' ''Tokiwa Forest'') is a forest which lies between [[Viridian City]] and [[Pewter City]] in the middle of {{rt|2|Kanto}} with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The deep and sprawling forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of {{t|Bug}}- and {{type|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that attract {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s and other Trainers.

In [[Generation II]], Viridian Forest no longer exists as a standalone area and has been replaced with a maze of standard trees, containing items and [[Berry]] trees, which is now a part of Route 2. The maze forms roughly the same design as before and the items are placed similarly to those located in Generations I and III. However, in the [[Generation IV]] remakes, the forest is re-expanded into the state of an actual dungeon, with five Trainers added, and with Pokémon similar to that of Pokémon Yellow.

==Geography==
[[File:FL Viridian Forest.png|thumb|200px|right|Eyecatch of Viridian Forest from [[Generation III]]]]
Viridian Forest is a deep and sprawling woodland expanding across {{rt|2|Kanto}} reaching to [[Pewter City]] in the north and to [[Viridian City]] in the south, giving the forest its name. The trees in this area have grown so dense that light has trouble getting through, and because of this the forest seems dark and gloomy. The path across to each terminus winds its way around the dense layers of trees, creating a giant labyrinth many liken to a natural maze, as many people get lost inside. The entrance to the forest seems to be light and airy: the trees are not as thick and sunlight is able to get in fine. The trees stand tall and the grass appears to be long and unmaintained, while trees in the distance appear to be shadowed.

Because of its dark and shady environment, Viridian Forest hosts a large array of different {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. They are not particularly powerful, but they will cause [[status ailment]]s such as paralysis and poison. It is advised from sign posts and even from other Trainers that Trainers should buy status ailment healing items such as {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}} and {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} before entering the forest. Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Metapod}}, and {{p|Kakuna}} inhabit trees and [[tall grass]], allowing themselves to stay hidden from predators. Viridian Forest is also one of the locations where Trainers can seek wild {{p|Pikachu}} as well as under-leveled {{p|Pidgeotto}}, making the forest a very exclusive place to find Pokémon. {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s, that own common bug Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}, come here in groups from Viridian and Pewter to battle and train.

==In the anime==
[[File:Viridian Forest anime.png|thumb|220px|Outline of Viridian Forest as seen in the anime]]
Viridian Forest appeared in multiple episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first shown in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', where {{Ash}} caught his first two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}: {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Pidgeotto|Pidgeot}}. {{Ash}} effortlessly catches the Caterpie by tossing a [[Poké Ball]] in [[EP002|the last episode]]. Even before the celebrations for Ash catching his first Pokémon could start, he spots yet another Pokémon, a {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}}, knocking it out, and Ash easily makes his second capture. At the end of the episode, Caterpie starts covering itself with some fluids and becomes brighter and brighter. It then starts to grow, and becomes a Metapod.

The forest was also the setting of the [[EP004|following episode]], where it was the location of Ash's first proper Trainer battle. Ash spots a {{p|Weedle}} and decides to catch it. He uses Pidgeotto against it, but a person dressed as a [[samurai]] arrives on scene. The {{pkmn2|wild}} Weedle escapes and the samurai rebukes Ash for it. The two then engage themselves in a Pokémon battle. Suddenly, a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} arrive and lift Ash's Metapod away. The samurai takes Ash, Misty and their other Pokémon to a safe place. The next day, the group start their search for Metapod. They soon find it on a tree among many {{p|Kakuna}}. Ash joyously goes to Metapod to take him back in his team and it soon evolves into a Butterfree.

Later in the series, Ash released his {{AP|Pidgeot}} here in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. As the gang leave through Viridian Forest, Ash and his friends are attacked by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The flock’s leader is a {{p|Fearow}}, which apparently [[Evolution|evolved]] from the Spearow that Ash hit with a rock on [[EP001|the first day of his journey]]. Ash climbs a tree to escape and finds Team Rocket with a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} who are in a turf war with the flock of Spearow. Ash sends out {{p|Pidgeotto}} to lead the Pidgey flock against the Spearow flock. In the course of the battle, Ash’s Pidgeotto evolves into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Pidgeot and Pikachu team up to defeat the Fearow and its gang. Ash then decides to {{pkmn2|released|leave}} Pidgeot in the forest to look after the Pidgey and Pidgeotto.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Many important people were born here, including [[Lance]], {{adv|Giovanni}}, and {{adv|Yellow}}. It is said that people born in Viridian Forest are given special powers. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} using physical touch as well as to read the minds of Pokémon. Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as raise her Pokémon's [[level]]s using the power of Viridian Forest (although this power seems involuntary and temporary). Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.

The forest is first visited in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' ({{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}) by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}. In their search for Pokémon, they encounter a wild {{p|Kangaskhan}} and its baby. Other Pokémon that appear in Viridian Forest are {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Dratini}} (origin unknown, but definitely not from Viridian Forest), {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Weezing}} (brought by Giovanni), and {{p|Mew}}.

Both [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]] were revealed to have lived here before their eventual captures.

==Trivia==
* In {{v2|Yellow}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} can be found in the forest, most likely to represent [[Ash's Pidgeotto|the events of the anime]]. However, they are [[level]] 9 and 7; normally {{p|Pidgey}} evolves at level 18.
* Despite the forest returning as a standalone area in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the background music is a remix of ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete#Disc 3|Viridian Forest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|トキワのもり|Tokiwa no Mori}}) from [[Generation II]], used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, with Route 2 in HeartGold and SoulSilver given ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete|Route 3]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|３ばんどうろ|sanban dōro}}) as the background music, which is also used for most other [[route]]s in [[Kanto]] on both Generation II and HeartGold and SoulSilver. Incidentally, Generation II's version of ''Viridian Forest'', used on Route 2, was in itself a remix of ''[[Game Boy Pokémon Sound Collection CD|Viridian Forest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|トキワの森|Tokiwa no Mori}}) from [[Generation I]].

'''The Fire-ing Squad!''' (Japanese: '''もえろゼニガメだん！ほのおのように！！''' ''Burn, {{tt|Zenigame|Squirtle}} Squad! Like a Fire!!'') is the 147th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on May 11, 2000 and in the United States on April 21, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
On the way to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in a [[Pokémon Center]] to send his {{AP|Tauros}} back to {{an|Professor Oak}} after using it in [[EP146|the Tauros competition]]. Oak tells him that Heracross is proving to be a very interesting research subject. After talking with Oak, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} come up with [[Nurse Joy]], who has finished inspecting Ash's Pokémon. Joy reports that they are all in excellent condition. Brock asks Joy to inspect him, but a nervous Joy conveniently remembers her duty to examine the Pokémon for something called the [[Fire and Rescue Grand Prix]].

Curious, the gang decides to check things out. Apparently the Grand Prix is a {{wp|Firefighting|firefighting}} contest for Pokémon and their {{pkmn|Trainer|Trainers}}. Always eager to show off his skills, Ash decides promptly to enter the contest with his own team. Misty reminds him that the only {{type|Water}} he has is {{AP|Squirtle}}, but Ash is way ahead of her: he'll just use her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. After an irate Misty complains that he should ask her first, Psyduck pops out. Ash interprets this as an expression of excitement.

Suddenly, a familiar voice calls to Ash and Misty. [[Captain Aiden]] and his [[Team Wartortle|Team of Wartortle]] greet them. Brock, who has never met Aiden or Team Wartortle, observes how well the {{p|Wartortle}} have been trained. Misty [[EP106|fills him in]]; while traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago]], she, Ash, and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] met Aiden and Team Wartortle, the best firefighting force in the region. Ash's Squirtle had worked out with the team and even helped to put out a major fire. Aiden reveals that he and his team are the returning champions in the Fire and Rescue Grand Prix. The lead Wartortle shakes claws with Ash's Squirtle, its friend and rival.

The group goes to the work-out center, where Trainers and their teams exercise and practice before competing. Aiden has made it possible for Ash to enter the contest so late by telling the officials how good he was. Brock looks around at the other teams, noting that competition will be stiff. Ash, of course, isn't worried.

Then, Squirtle notices [[Officer Jenny]] and its old [[Squirtle Squad]]. Jenny notices that the Squirtle all look nervous. She assures them that they will do fine if they work as a team. Suddenly the Squirtle notice their former leader. While the reunited Squirtle Squad exchange happy greetings, Ash, Misty, and Brock greet Jenny. Jenny [[EP012|recounts]] how Ash and his friends converted the Squirtle Squad from ragtag delinquents to responsible and talented firefighters. At the mention that Team Wartortle are the returning champions, the Squirtle Squad expresses fear, at which Ash's Squirtle scratches its chin in an unimpressed manner.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches from a nearby window. They plan to steal all the Pokémon in the competition, including Ash's Pokémon.

While Ash's Squirtle continues to catch up with its old friends, Jenny asks if the Squirtle Squad can have a joint practice session with Team Wartortle. Aiden agrees, and both teams prepare for the target range, where Pokémon use their attacks to bring down targets. The Squirtle Squad looks very nervous as the practice begins. Aiden tells his Wartortle to focus on each target, listen to the lead Wartortle, and work as a team. The strategy works; each Wartortle aims with precision, taking down one target at a time with the concentrated {{m|Water Gun|Water Guns}}. In contrast, the Squirtle Squad seem out of focus. Their aim is off and they're not working with each other. While Jenny and Ash urge the Squirtle on, Brock observes that they're probably nervous being next to such a high-rated team as Team Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle decides to take action: it steps on each of the Squirtle's tails. Jumping up together in pain, the Squirtle finally aim as one like the Wartortle. Ash's Squirtle orders them to take down each target. When the practice ends, both teams have hit all the targets. The Squirtle Squad seem much more confident with their leader back. Ash notes that the Squad does not function without his Squirtle.

The Grand Prix finally starts, with Ash and his team - {{AP|Pikachu}}, Squirtle, and Misty's Staryu and Psyduck - facing off against a team of {{p|Muk}}. The two teams will be competing to see who can put out a burning house faster. Misty encourages the team to show the Muk how awesome Water Pokémon are. Squirtle and Staryu aim Water Gun at the burning house, while Pikachu uses its back feet to fling dirt at the fire. Ash's team is working well, until Psyduck gets in the way of Staryu's Water Gun. The Pokémon is sent flying into the fire. Luckily, Squirtle rescues Psyduck before it becomes roasted. To apologize for its mistake, Staryu washes the smoke stains off Psyduck, who appears to have been unaware of its near-death experience. But the lost time proves to be fatal; the Muk team has extinguished the fire by covering it with their massive bodies.

After Ash's disappointing failure, the Squirtle Squad faces off against a team of Golduck, who apparently came in second place in the previous Grand Prix. Aiden worries that the pressure of the competition may be braking the Squirtle's concentration. His diagnosis proves correct; the Squad looks even more nervous than it did during the practice session. As the round starts, the Golduck team spring quickly and efficiently into action, with each Golduck taking one side of the burning house. The Squirtle Squad, on the other hand, appears too nervous to move. When they finally get going, one of the Squirtle trips and bowls over the others, bring them all down in a struggling heap. After managing to get to their feet, the Squad aim their Water Guns at their burning house, but the [[Move|attack]] is weak and uncoordinated. At this rate, the Golduck will win easily. Concerned, Ash's Squirtle hurries up to Jenny, followed by Ash and Pikachu. Jenny's attempts to get the Squad to listen to her are futile, but then Ash comes up with a bright idea: Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} on the Squirtle to get their attention. Ash tells them that they need to listen to their leader. At this, Ash's Squirtle looks surprised, but Ash reassures it by saying that the Squad needs it. Squirtle takes control once again, and under its leadership, the Squad gets back into the fight. In the end, it's a close match, but the Squirtle Squad come out on top.

Suddenly, the extinguished fire reignites, and the house soon explodes. From the ground beneath where the house stood emerges Team Rocket in one of its giant [[Team Rocket's mechas|contraptions]]. After reciting the {{motto}}, Team Rocket proceeds with their nefarious plan. Their machine, called the Torcher Scorcher, shoots flames out of its arms straight at the Squirtle, Jenny, Ash, and Pikachu. Aiden and Team Wartortle come to the rescue with the team's Water Guns, but [[James]] simply turns up the heat. Other Trainers start running towards the Torcher Scorcher with their Pokémon to try to help, but that was what Team Rocket was waiting for. {{MTR}} presses a button and sends nets flying out from the Torcher Scorcher's body, ensnaring all the Pokémon - except the Squirtle Squad. Ash tries to run at the giant mecha, but Jenny pulls him away just in time to avoid the flames. As Team Rocket douses the stadium in fire, Ash tells his Squirtle that it must lead the Squirtle Squad to defeat Team Rocket and rescue the Pokémon. After a short huddle, the Squirtle Squad don the infamous glasses of its delinquent days and aim their Water Guns at the Torcher Scorcher. Team Rocket tries to step on the Squirtle, but Ash's Squirtle's orders keep its team members from getting crushed. Brock and Misty happily note the teamwork and superb timing of the Squad. Finally, Team Rocket gets dizzy from their efforts, and the mecha loses its balance and falls over. Squirtle crashes into Team Rocket's command station and blasts them against the wall with Water Gun. Then it stomps on all the controls, sending sparks flying. The door to the mecha's holding area opens, freeing the Pokémon. Squirtle jumps out of the Torcher Scorcher, but Team Rocket isn't through yet. The mecha gets up and prepares to blast Ash, Jenny, and the Pokémon with fire, but before Team Rocket can act, Pikachu and Squirtle combine their {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Water Gun attacks to blast the mecha. Team Rocket bids a bitterly painful farewell.

While construction trucks are busy repairing the stadium, Ash has a talk with his Squirtle. He says that the Squirtle Squad is very strong, but they need their leader. Ash's Squirtle looks sadly between its Trainer and its friends; Ash smiles encouragingly, and the Squad looks hopeful. Squirtle makes its decision: it will lead the Squirtle Squad like it did in the old days.

The Squad moves through the competition smoothly with newfound confidence. Team Wartortle also do very well. Finally, the final face-off begins, with the Squirtle Squad facing off against Team Wartortle. The challenge is to retrieve a dummy from a burning building and extinguish the fire in the least amount of time. Ash shouts encouragement to the Squad; Misty shouts good luck to the Wartortle; Brock shouts his support for... Officer Jenny. While Ash's Squirtle and the leader of Team Wartortle head into their separate buildings, their team members do their best to put out the fires. Then the leaders of both teams emerge with their dummies and direct their teams to put out the fire. The air is thick with tension as both teams race neck-and-neck. At last, the final Water Gun barrage extinguishes the fire in both houses, but who came first? Team Wartortle's total time is recorded to be 3:54:02, and the Squirtle Squad's time... is 3:53:00. As the stadium erupts with cheers, Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad celebrate their unexpected victory. Aiden and Team Wartortle congratulate the Squad with a salute, which they return happily.

At the end of the day, Ash congratulates his Squirtle. Jenny thanks Ash for letting his Squirtle leave his [[Party|party]] and continue leading the Squirtle Squad. Squirtle says goodbye to Pikachu, Misty, and Brock, and then looks at Ash's other Pokémon. {{AP|Chikorita}} and {{AP|Cyndaquil}} both nod farewell, but as Squirtle holds out its claws to {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to shake, Bulbasaur turns away. But then it extends a {{m|Vine Whip|vine}} to its long-time friend, shaking solemnly. Jenny heads away on her {{wp|Motorcycle|motorcycle}}, with the Squirtle Squad riding in the back. As his Squirtle recedes into the distance, an emotional Ash yells that they will always be friends, no matter what. He remembers all the good times they had, from the moment Squirtle expressed its wish to join Ash's team to the present.

As Ash and his friends look on, they know that new friends and new memories await them...

==Trivia==
[[File:EP147 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Poliwag's tails]]
* This episode's English title is a reference to a {{wp|Firing Squad}}.
* The scene where Brock asked what Squirtle had to do with [[Team Wartortle]] mirrors when {{Tracey}} asked what Squirtle's sunglasses were for in ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''. This time Misty filled Brock in on what he had missed as Ash had filled Tracey in.
* The book ''[[Teaming Up With Totodile]]'' is based on this episode.

===Errors===
[[File:EP147 Error 2.png|thumb|200px|right|Togepi's miscoloration]]
* Brock says Aidan's name along with Ash and Misty when they first see him, however, the two had never met before.
* In one scene, some Poliwag's tails are colored dark blue instead of white.
* As the Squirtle Squad and Team Wartortle line up for their first face-off, the Squirtle are shown with their backs facing the camera, their shells bare. However, in the next shot, they are shown wearing their jackets.
* At the end of the episode the Narrator says about Ash and his friends, "As they continue their journey to Johto, they look forward to the new friends and new memories that lie ahead". This doesn't make any sense as they are already in Johto.
* Near the end, as the gang bids farewell to Aidan and his Wartortle, the lead Wartortle's scarf is a burnt orange color instead of yellow.
* When everyone is saying goodbye to Squirtle, Togepi is a yellowish orange color instead of white.

===Dub edits===

* An instrumental version of the [[Kanto Pokérap]] is used as background music.

Talk:Surf (move)

2013-03-30T20:41:16Z

JDDJS: /* Counterparts? */

== Add something to Trivia? ==

I think we should add that this move can be learned by most of the pokemon (123 in Generation IV). Or that this is the most learned Water type in this game so far.
:no, because moves like {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Toxic}} can be learned by ANYONE. itd be like saying {{m|Fly}} can be learned by almost any Flying type. its self explanitory. Surf = water type. therefor, almost all the water types can learn it, along with the odd one here and there. [[User:MAGNEDETH|MAGNEDETH]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|TALK]] 04:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
::Umm...
::Ditto, Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Wurmple, Silcoon and Cascoon can't learn hidden power or toxic (Unown can't learn Toxic either), i believe. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 05:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

He means All pokemon that can learn TM's and HM's can learn those moves [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK]] 15:52, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

== Hidden beta item ==

I think we should add this little trivia fact (I have done this, and it works!):
There's a hidden key item in the Generation 1 games called ????? that allows you to Surf outside of battle without the need for HM03. It can be obtained with the Gameshark code for item modifying, with the hex variable set to 07. If the game is saved while the code is active, the item stays in the pouch like any other key item, even after the GameShark is removed. To use, just go up to water, and select it from the item pouch. The item was created in the beta versions, and later made unavailable, but not removed entirely. --{{ani|250}}[[User:Fsilone|隼也
]]{{ani|249}}[[Special:Contributions/Fsilone|じゅんや]] 17:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:It sounds like it could just be a simple glitch rather than a beta item. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 19:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
::I don't know, but either way, it's there, and I just think people should know about it. --{{ani|250}}[[User:Fsilone|隼也
]]{{ani|249}}[[Special:Contributions/Fsilone|じゅんや]] 21:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Not to butt in on an old conversation, but the item was a beta for game testers to progress easier. It's like, a surfboard item or something. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 18:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

== Anime Surf ==
Unless the trainer specifically says's "Use Surf", then the occurrence should not be listed under the 'In the anime' section. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 22:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Pics in the article ==
Why does the picture in this article show Pikachu use Surf? I think it's better to use a picture of a Pokémon who can normally learn the move and not Pikachu that learn it only by event. --[[User:-Samu-|-Samu-]] 17:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:Whoever put it there...probably put it up for bragging rights. I think what's important is that a pic of a Pokémon using the move is there. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| |>H1|23]][[Special:contributions/PH1RESTRIKE|•]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|57R1K3]] 19:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

== Ah the new trivia... ==

You know, it'd be better if we had a list of these moves, or a category... or something. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
:Wouldn't that just be a matter of going through the TM, HM and move tutor moves? I'm fairly sure, but could be mistaken, that all TMs and MTs are learned via level up for one Pokémon, so that just leaves the HMs. Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Dive, Rock Climb and Surf...? — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
::Not {{m|Dive}}. Nine Pokémon learn it via leveling up in Gen. IV. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 22:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, when I added that earlier today, I actually didn't pay any attention to the move I was looking at. Realizing that it's an HM makes much sense. ''[[User:Kevin Y|Kevin Y]]'' ([[User talk:Kevin Y|talk]]) 22:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

==Squirtle?==
I know Squirtle has never outright used the move surf but the move page indicates that it has. As I realize that Ash has used him for water transportation multiple times I can understand why someone might put that BUT this is still an inconsistancy between pages and I'm not sure which one should be changed...same goes for Misty's Starmie -- [[User:D558|D558]] 01:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:Seriously? That was taken out a while ago and somebody added it back.... '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 16:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:I added it. On the Pokemon race thing, Misty surfs on Starmie, and Pikachu surfs on squirtle. They were surfing, so i just added it. [[User:Littlmiget123]]

::That's just swimming quickly though. Otherwise EVERY Water Pokémon would know Surf. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 17:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

:But Misty and Pikachu was riding on their backs? [[User: Littlmiget123]]

:Swimming, while ferrying passengers. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|You enter a poorly lit room...]] 18:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

::It's like in Mewtwo Strikes Back, when everyone rode on a Water Pokémon to get to the island. It's just swimming. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 18:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

In SuperSmashBros.Brawl he can use it if that helps... [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK]] 15:49, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

== Mewtwo? ==

Mewtwo is listed as being capable of using Surf in every generation on this page, but on Mewtwo's page it is not listed on his moveset, nor can I find any evidence that Mewtwo can learn Surf anywhere else.--[[User:JacobCrystal|JacobCrystal]] 20:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
:I believe that's called a fail. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:40, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Double Battles - Base Power ==

Shouldn't it be pointed out that Surf's Base Power drops if facing two opponents in a Double Battle? And that the Base Power is restored if there's only 1 opponent left in the Double Battle. Well, it is in Gen III anyway. I don't know if the partner-hitting properties of Surf added in Gen IV changes that last fact. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 23:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

== surfing sprite ==

i really dont believe the surfing sprite for gen. 4 is a wailmer... just llok at it closely, its body is longer than wailmer. {{unsigned|Wisp82}}

== Move image replacement ==

How about this? Got the transparencies fixed.

== Question ==

Is there any reason why there are 2 lists for generation 4? I'd do something about it, but I want to ask first.[[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 21:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

:Yeah, I accidentally typed Generation IV instead of Generation V in the heading for the new section and another user must have mistaken that as Generation IV being missing and added it entirely. I fixed it. [[User:Jaroda|Jaroda]] 21:29, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== PIka Surf ==

Red's Pika in the adventures know surf. Pikachu can learn normaly not surf. Onlly from a event. So why we do not use a picture of Pika that surf uses.--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
::::--[[User:Nazirbashir|Nazirbashir]] 14:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
:In a nutshell, Red's Pika uses Surf by forming its Subsitute to look like a surfboard. The description for the move entries is to describe how the Pokemon in question use the attack. Not all Pikachu are going to know Substitute ''and'' Surf at the same time. It's sort of the same deal with ChuChu's Fly: we can't list it because it ties balloons to itself. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==
Shouldn't we have images of the non-Pikachu surf in PBR and the non-Pikachu outside of battle images for Gen I and Gen II? These are unique cases after all. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 22:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
:In-battle, there really isn't any difference in the move's execution. Out-of-battle however, I think there should be separate images. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

== Tauros ==

Tauros temporarily lost ability to learn Surf in Generation III (according to article), despite being able to learn it in Generation II, IV and V. This is the first time I saw such oddity in learnset of HM (discounting the moves that lost their HM status). Is it worth noting? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 17:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
:Tauros can learn Surf in Generation III. It must have not been added or something. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:26, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

==Surfing sprite==
" In Generation I, a Dewgong is shown (although this was just the Water-type sprite; unless Pikachu is surfing, where a surfing Pikachu sprite is shown instead)."
There is no way that anyone knows that that's a Dewgong. The only resemblance between it and a Dewgong is that they are both white and have flippers and a tail. Who's to say it's not a Seel? It doesn't really look like either of the two if you ask me. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

== RGB ==

Is it just me, or there was no Pokémon found via surfing until {{game|Yellow}}? [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

== Counterparts? ==

Should't Surf be considered a counterpart to Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam? It has 95 power, and the same amount of PP as Flamethrower and Thunderbolt. [[User:TyphlosionTheBurninator|TyphlosionTheBurninator]] ([[User talk:TyphlosionTheBurninator|talk]]) 23:07, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
:No because it's an HM. [[User:JDDJS|JDDJS]] ([[User talk:JDDJS|talk]]) 20:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

JDDJS:

[[Ability|Abilities]] in this category affect the user in a negative way during battle, and should generally be avoided or switched with an opponent's, unless the Pokémon has a move that produces an unusual effect, such as {{m|Switcheroo}} with {{a|Klutz}}, or when one desires the positive part of the Ability (such as {{a|Dry Skin}}'s [[Damage modification#Not effective|immunity]] to {{t|Water}}). Some of these abilities, such as [[Normalize (Ability]] can be considered to be positive under certain conditions.

'''Surf''' (Japanese: '''なみのり''' ''Surfing'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM03]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}====
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.

====[[Generation III]]====
Same as the previous generations, but in a [[double battle]], Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon. Its base [[Power]] is doubled if it is targeted at a Pokémon using {{m|Dive}}.

====Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}====
Same as the previous generation; however, in [[double battle|double]] and [[triple battle]]s, Surf will hit all other adjacent Pokémon, including teammates.

===Outside of battle===
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over [[Water tile|bodies of water]]. When doing so, [[wild Pokémon]] may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games and must be used to complete the game, as all main series games to date have required Surf in order to reach [[Pokémon League]] where the [[Elite Four]] reside.

The speed of Surfing has varied dramatically through games. In Generations I and II, the speed was at the same speed as walking. In Generation III the speed was increased to running-speed. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Surfing speed was reduced to walking speed again. The speed was returned to running speed in {{game|Platinum}}.

When Surf is used outside of battle, the sprite of a specific sea Pokémon floating on the water is shown, resembling the player being carried by the Pokémon. In Generation I, a {{p|Dewgong}} is shown (although this was just the {{type2|Water}} sprite; unless {{p|Pikachu}} is surfing, where a {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} sprite is shown instead). In Generation II, a {{p|Lapras}} is shown (unless {{p|Pikachu}} is surfing, where a surfing Pikachu sprite is shown instead). In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the sprite is a {{p|Wailmer}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and all Generation IV and V games, the sprite is indistinguishable as a specific Pokémon.

[[File:SSBB Surf.png|200px|thumb|right|Piplup using Surf in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In '''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''', Piplup creates a wave and then surfs on it, pushing any players it hits. Anyone caught in it will be pushed until Piplup disappears, or pushes the character off the stage. Piplup will keep using Surf even when off the stage.

==Trivia==
* Surf is used by Pokémon in order to swim and carry humans on their backs simultaneously. However, some of the Pokémon that can learn it are far too small to even carry a child on their backs, such as {{p|Barboach}}.
* Surf and {{m|Fly}} are the only HM moves that become event-exclusive moves on certain Pokémon, both on {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Surf has the highest power of all HM moves, and is the only HM move to hit multiple targets.
* If {{m|Secret Power}} is used in the ocean in Generation III, it will have the animation of Surf.
* There is {{DL|List of dummied out items|?????|an unused item}} allowing players to cross water, identical to Surf in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. It has been fan-named as "surfboard".

'''Ash's Swadloon''' (Japanese: '''サトシのクルマユ''' ''Satoshi's Kurumayu'') is the sixth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Sewaddle.png|left|250px|thumb|As a Sewaddle]]
Swadloon first appeared as a Sewaddle while {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|friends}} were in [[Pinwheel Forest]]. He randomly attacked [[Ash's Pikachu]], and Ash tried to catch him but was not successful since Sewaddle ran away. He later reappeared and knocked Ash to the ground when the trio met [[Burgh]], the Gym Leader of the [[Castelia Gym]], who revealed that he was accompanying Sewaddle through the forest even though he was not his Pokémon. When Ash and his friends tried to say hello to Sewaddle by using the two sensory knobs on the top of his head, he {{m|Tackle}}d Ash, while he kindly said hello to {{an|Iris}}, Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Burgh. Ash, {{an|Iris}} and Burgh then followed Sewaddle throughout the forest, watching he was eating as well as his sleeping habits.
[[File:Ash Sewaddle Rolled Up.png|250px|thumb|left|Sewaddle sleeping]]
When Sewaddle started eating some fruit, two {{p|Woobat}} started to attack him. Ash protected Sewaddle from an {{m|Air Slash}} attack. Pikachu and Sewaddle then scared off the Woobat. Sewaddle then offered Ash some fruit, showing that he was slowly beginning to like him. Later that night, Sewaddle even went into Ash's sleeping bag with him. The next day, a {{p|Patrat}} kidnapped Sewaddle in order to heal its sick friend, as a leaf from a Sewaddle has healing properties. However, Sewaddle got away, just to get stuck on a {{p|Deerling}}'s neck and to get thrown over a cliff into a river with Ash diving in to save him. Burgh then used his {{p|Leavanny}} to save both Sewaddle and Ash from going over a waterfall. Sewaddle was very thankful but his "clothes" got messed up during the fall, but Burgh's Leavanny made him new clothes. Ash asked Sewaddle if he wanted to join him and Sewaddle happily allowed Ash to capture him. But once he was captured, his [[Poké Ball]] became sealed as Ash had seven Pokémon on him at the time. This meant Ash had to send over one of his Pokémon to [[Professor Juniper]] in order to retain Sewaddle in his party, to which he chose his {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}.

In ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', Ash wanted to have Sewaddle examined by a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] so he would know how compatible he was with him. He showed him to a C-class Connaisseuse by the name of [[Burgundy]]. She confirmed that his [[ability]] is {{a|Swarm}} which she thought was a bad thing as she thought Ash would be better off with a Sewaddle with {{a|Chlorophyll}}, with no reason to back it up. When she said he should replace Sewaddle, he fired a String Shot at her in anger.

In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', he was used against [[Burgh]], where he fought against and defeated Burgh's {{p|Dwebble}}, who had previously defeated [[Ash's Tepig]]. Later, while battling his {{p|Whirlipede}}, Sewaddle evolved into {{p|Swadloon}}, while learning {{m|Energy Ball}} in the process. However, he lost to Burgh's {{p|Leavanny}} after being hit by a {{m|Leaf Storm}} and a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Swadloon sewing.png|thumb|250px|Swadloon sewing]]
As a Sewaddle, Swadloon was childish, often doing things without warning when Ash first met him, such as attacking {{AP|Pikachu}} for no reason other than to battle. He was stubborn and wouldn't admit to his feelings for Ash right away, but after he had been saved a few times, he became more comfortable with Ash and snuggled up to him. Since then, he had been very caring towards his Trainer, even to go so far as to wrap [[Burgundy]]'s head in a {{m|String Shot}} web when she suggested Ash get rid of him.

Swadloon has also been competitive since his debut and has a strong passion for battling. He always tries his hardest, even when he was at a strong disadvantage during his battle against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} where he still refused to give up and eventually evolved. Since he has evolved, Swadloon is a bit more mature, although he still got a bit childish when he believed {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Scraggy}} took his food in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''. However, he still has a passion for battling. Swadloon also has some sewing skills as seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' where he helped make costumes for [[Luke]]'s movie with [[Luke#Leavanny|his Leavanny]].

==Trivia==
* Swadloon is Ash's first {{type|Grass}} Pokémon that is not a [[starter Pokémon]].
* Swadloon is the first of Ash's Pokémon since his {{AP|Muk|Muk}} which he caught when he already had a full party of six Pokémon.
** It also marks the first time Ash has rotated his seventh Pokémon into his main team.
* As a Sewaddle, Swadloon was the first Pokémon in the anime to have its ability confirmed without using it.
* Swadloon is the first of Ash's Pokémon to evolve during a Gym battle.

== Maths ==

Can't the calculations and explanations for the Hidden Power formula be easier? I'm not good at maths, and I don't think many people here are Math professors.[[User:FireHazard|FireHazard]] 02:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
:No, that equation is simplified as far as it could possibly go. ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 02:25, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
::Its actually quite simple[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|Good Day;DCM]]
:Math professors??? Multiplying, adding and dividing is a basic knowledge. You don;t need to have {{p|Metagross|four brains}} or be able to {{p|Alakazam|bend spoons}} to understand it. I know, however, that this might be a little bit confusing when you look at this for the first time, but - again - try to do some math excercises, and you will understand it. Pokémon games are based on math (shinyness, game data structures, IVs, EVs, etc.) like everything else. And - yes - I simplified this article to the maximum. The previous one was quite messy.

==GEN II==

How Did It Work In Generation Two? [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 12:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it worked the same way it's listed here now.--[[User:Jackowaco|jw]] 13:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason why it wouldnt have worked the same way in Gen II, TorchicBlaziken? --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 21:21, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is. In Generation II the special attack and special defense share the same IV (for backwards compatibility with Gen I) and the IV for HP is derived from the other IVs. In short: the IV system in Generation II is different from later Generations. --[[User:Tai Ferret|Tai Ferret]] 20:43, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

== Bits? ==

I feel like there should be an illustration of the reasons behind this seemingly complex calculation involving remainders, that reason being the binary representation of the IVs. I was thinking something along the lines of this (using the pikachu's stats in the example)

{| border=1 align="left" style="background: #fff; border:1px solid #000; border-collapse:collapse;"
|- style="background: #C0C0FF;"
! colspan="10" | Relative bit weights

111111 = 63

101110 = 46

:The way I sure the games do it, is for the type, each variable equals the last bit in its IV and, for the Power, each Variable equals the second to last bit. I just put it a section below this one. It is concerned with the possible outcomes of Hidden Power but it makes mention to what you're getting at.[[User:Professor|The Professor]] 20:31, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

== Possible HP Combos ==

The Section about the number of possible Hidden Power combinations is not entirely correct. The section says that since there are 32 possible values for each IV, the number of possible combinations is 32^6. If you get down to purely what the outcome is, then there are only 4^6 combinations. If you graph the outcomes for for the possible numbers this is what you get.

{|

There are four possible out comes for each IV Value; 00, 01, 10 and, 11. For any one who doesn't know binary these values equal the numbers 0, 1, 2 and, 3. Basically, you take the binary version of the IV and look at the last two bits to get the the outcome. This means that even though each IV is a number 0-31, the outcome boils down to a number 0-3. So there are 4 significant values for each IV, and there are 6 IV's so there are 4^6 (2^12) combinations for Hidden Power. That comes out to be 4096 possible outcomes. Far less than this article's stated 32^6(1073741824) outcomes. For any one who is confused about all of this I can explain it in further detail. Tell me watcha think! [[User:Professor|The Professor]] 20:21, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

: Uhmm.... I'm not sure, if you have read the article correctly. I wrote the bit about 32^6 and wrote it's '''far too big'''... and then I wrote about 4^6....So.... I really don't get, what's your point, you have just copied the article here -__- [[User:Piotr mil|Piotr mil]] 12:05, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

==Really, divided out of 15?==

It seems kind of stupid that the game developers would do such an uneven job of distributing Hidden Power. Simply dividing it by 4 gives a perfectly uniform distribution. Are you sure that the way it is now is correct? [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 03:42, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

== These are... well wrong ==

These are wrong, actually. This what you get for borrowing from Serebii, he doesn't fact check, he just tries to get stuff up fast, regardless of accuracy.

Ask the people in PP chat, and they can usually give you the real stuff.

These are the algorithms as from the game themselves.
<pre>
//These are unfinished methods to calculate the HiddenPower type and attack power.
uint8_t getHiddenPowerType(int iv_hp, int iv_atk, int iv_def, int iv_spd, int iv_satk, int iv_sdef) const {
uint8_t a = ((iv_hp & 1) << 0);
uint8_t b = ((iv_atk & 1) << 1);
uint8_t c = ((iv_def & 1) << 2);
uint8_t d = ((iv_spd & 1) << 3);
uint8_t e = ((iv_satk & 1) << 4);
uint8_t f = ((iv_sdef & 1) << 5);
//This is equivalent to (a + b + c + d + e + f) / 4, but this is actually much faster. (division is SLOW) -- Chase
return (a + b + c + d + e + f) >> 2;
}

uint8_t getHiddenPowerAttack(int iv_hp, int iv_atk, int iv_def, int iv_spd, int iv_satk, int iv_sdef) const {
//Warning, these are NOT the same as the ones in the last function.
uint8_t a = ((iv_hp & 2) >> 1);
uint8_t b = ((iv_atk & 2) << 0);
uint8_t c = ((iv_def & 2) << 1);
uint8_t d = ((iv_spd & 2) << 2);
uint8_t e = ((iv_satk & 2) << 3);
uint8_t f = ((iv_sdef & 2) << 4);
//This is very similar to ((1 + a + b + c + d + e + f)*6250)/10000 + 30, however much faster. (division is SLOW) -- Chase
return (((1 + a + b + c + d + e + f) * 10) >> 4) + 30;
}</pre>

[[User:Fxblaster|Fxblaster]] 01:36, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Actually those are large and over complicated, something as simple as these two do the job exactly the same.

<pre>
int type = (iv_def & 1) + ((iv_spd & 1) << 1) + ((iv_satk & 1) << 2) + ((iv_sdef & 1) << 3);
int power = (((((iv_sdef&2)<<1) + (iv_satk&2) + ((iv_spd&2)>>>1))*10 + (iv_def&2)*3 + (iv_hp&2) + (iv_atk&2)) >>> 1)+30;
</pre>

[[User:Chasesan|Chase]] 05:17, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

== Formula simplifying ==

instead of multiplying by 15 and dividing by 63, why not just multiple by 5 and divide by 21? You'll still get the same answer. [[User:JDDJS|JDDJS]] 20:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

'''Ash's Tepig''' (Japanese: '''サトシのポカブ''' ''Satoshi's Pokabu'') is the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Tepig Release.png|left|thumb|right|250px|Tepig being abandoned by his previous Trainer]]
Tepig once belonged to another {{pkmn|Trainer}} who abandoned him after he lost to a {{p|Deerling}} in battle. The trainer was disappointed in Tepig and so, Tepig was tied to a post. When [[Don George]] tried to untie him, Tepig broke free of his bonds and began searching for his trainer, but to no avail. When Ash visited the {{To|Accumula}} Town Pokémon [[Battle Club]] in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'', Ash mistook Tepig for an {{p|Umbreon}} when watching a security tape of him stealing food from the nearby warehouse. In an attempt to capture the 'Umbreon', Ash then met Tepig for the first time when he was trying to eat some bait. He realized that Tepig was covered in soot and was unable to eat as there was a rope tied around his mouth, making him extremely hungry and very skinny. Initially, Tepig tried to run away, but after being cornered by Ash and having his rope removed and fed, he was carried back to the Battle Club by Ash. Later on, Tepig volunteered to help Ash retrieve his {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]. Later, when {{an|Iris}} wanted to capture Tepig, he refused and decided he wanted to join Ash's team and Ash caught him in a [[Poké Ball]].

Tepig fought for Ash during his [[Striaton Gym]] battle in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', against [[Chili]] and his {{p|Pansear}}. Tepig's attacks didn't do much damage to Pansear, but Pansear managed to hit Tepig with powerful {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Dig}} attacks. One of Pansear's Dig attacks sent Tepig into the air. Ash then commanded him to dive into the hole that Pansear was in and he managed to bite Pansear's tail. Although Pansear threw Tepig onto the ground, he managed to get up and spin Pansear around, throwing him to the ground. He used {{m|Ember}} successfully and then knocked Pansear out with a powerful {{m|Tackle}}.
[[File:Ash and Tepig.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Tepig]]
Tepig was revealed to be male in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'' when he battled a wild {{AP|Snivy}} that would eventually be caught by Ash. Although he managed to use an Ember attack, he was hit by the Snivy's {{m|Attract}} and became infatuated with her, causing him to be recalled.

In ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he was used to fight against [[Trip]]'s {{p|Tranquill}}. Like {{AP|Oshawott}} before him, he was defeated by two consecutive {{m|Aerial Ace}}s due to Tranquill's {{a|Super Luck}} ability, which increased Tranquill's chance of inflicting critical hits.

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'', he battled [[Lenora]]'s {{p|Lillipup}}, which promptly used {{m|Roar}} to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball. After Lenora's {{p|Watchog}} defeated Oshawott, he fought Lillipup again and was defeated. In ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', he trained alongside Ash at Don George's Battle Club. He ran on a treadmill and dodged black balls that symbolized {{m|Shadow Ball}} attacks. By training, Tepig became faster and stronger, and also learned {{m|Flame Charge}}. Later on, he battled against Lenora's {{p|Herdier}}, which soon used Roar to force Tepig back into his Poké Ball again. After Watchog and Oshawott knocked each other out, Tepig battled Herdier again and won because of his faster, stronger attacks and his newly-learned Flame Charge move.

He had his third gym battle against the {{type2|Bug}} Gym Leader [[Burgh]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' and despite Ash planning to win with a type advantage, Burgh sent out a {{p|Dwebble}} which had its own type advantage. Even though Tepig tried his best, Dwebble's superior speed and powerful {{type|Rock}} moves got the better of Tepig which lead to his eventual defeat.

Tepig was later used in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'' to battle Trip's {{p|Vanillite}}. Tepig defended himself from Vanillite's {{type2|Ice}} attacks with Flame Charge but could not keep up with some of its faster moves and despite the type advantage, the match ended in a tie.

Tepig was used in ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'' to battle {{AP|Roggenrola}} after Oshawott was defeated, only to be defeated himself. He later helped Ash rescue all of the Roggenrola from the [[Team Rocket trio]]. He later had a rematch with Roggenrola and after a fierce battle, he weakened it enough for Ash to catch it.

In [[BW048]], Tepig was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Roggenrola using {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In the process, his {{m|Ember}} attack became {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In [[BW051]], Tepig teamed up with {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} when his trainer Ash and {{an|Cilan}} won a battle against {{tc|Subway Boss}}es {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}. Battling their {{p|Eelektross}} and {{p|Chandelure}}, Tepig and his partner battled well but were eventually defeated.

==Personality and characteristics==

Tepig has been shown to not take losing very well, often getting sad when he loses, such as in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' where he fought and lost to [[Trip]]'s Tranquill. This was shown again during Ash's battle against [[Lenora]] the gym leader of the [[Nacrene Gym]]. He fought against her {{p|Lillipup}} and lost getting depressed again, not even cheering up when Ash told him he did a good job. He also felt upset when he drew to Trip's {{p|Vanillite}} in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]'', reacting the same way he does when he loses. However, in some cases, Tepig is happy to lose, but only in unofficial training battles, as seen in ''[[BW027|A Dragon Master's Path!]]''. Otherwise, Tepig is a rather sweet Pokémon, always looking to please Ash in battle.

Tepig has shown multiple times that he is always trying to please Ash. Lenora confirms this in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', where she says that Tepig is trying very hard for Ash. This could be because Tepig's former trainer abandoned him and out of fear that Ash will do the same, tries his best to prove he is worthy.

==Trivia==
* Tepig's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]]. However, it was not revealed who would be catching him.
* Tepig is the fourth {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] to be caught by Ash and the third to have been abandoned by his previous Trainer. The other two are {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}.
* Like all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, Tepig was caught without battling.
* Tepig is Ash's only Fire-type Pokémon to have its gender confirmed in the original Japanese version.

'''Ash's Palpitoad''' (Japanese: '''サトシのガマガル''' ''Satoshi's Gamagaru'') is the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{Ash}} in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Palpitoad.png|left|250px|thumb|Palpitoad and Ash]]
Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded its territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]]. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}} and was captured by Ash.

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well and with patience, they managed to defeat Burgundy's powerful Stoutland with a combination of {{m|Supersonic}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, and a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.

In [[BW050]], Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being resistant to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle and was able to defeat Elesa's powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}. However next up was Elesa's {{p|Emolga}} and Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with Emolga's fast moves and was hit by several {{m|Aerial Ace}}s before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}} causing him to become immobilized. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out.

==Personality and characteristics==
Palpitoad was once quite the rowdy Pokémon, and liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of {{p|Tympole}} and a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to attack Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, Palpitoad has been shown to be quite the powerhouse. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer and they were able to work well together despite only recently being captured and it being the first battle Palpitoad participated in.

==Trivia==
* Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]], however, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in [[BW050]], he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.

'''Ash's Palpitoad''' (Japanese: '''サトシのガマガル''' ''Satoshi's Gamagaru'') is the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by {{Ash}} in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Palpitoad.png|left|250px|thumb|Palpitoad and Ash]]
Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded its territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]]. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}} and was captured by Ash.

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well and with patience, they managed to defeat Burgundy's powerful Stoutland with a combination of {{m|Supersonic}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, and a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.

In [[BW050]], Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being resistant to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle and was able to defeat Elesa's powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}. However next up was Elesa's {{p|Emolga}} and Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with Emolga's fast moves and was hit by several {{m|Aerial Ace}}s before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}} causing him to become immobilized. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out.

==Personality and characteristics==
Palpitoad was once quite the rowdy Pokémon, and liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of {{p|Tympole}} and a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to attack Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, Palpitoad has been shown to be quite the powerhouse. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer and they were able to work well together despite only recently being captured and it being the first battle Palpitoad participated in.

==Moves used==

==Trivia==
* Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]], however, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in [[BW050]], he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.
* Palpitoad is the first evolved Pokémon caught by Ash since {{AP|Noctowl}}.
** In addition Palpitoad is only the second evolved water type Ash has owned and the first since his [[Kingler|Ash's Kingler]].

== Jessie's Lickitung ==

Shouldn't we change this to Jessie's Lickitung?
-Dawnfan47

You mean Benny's Lickitung? No. Benny is a character of the day, and Bulbapedia does not create articles about Pokémon belonging to characters of the day. If we had one for Benny, then we'd have one for Kay's Raichu, or Samurai's Metapod, or even Bucky's Dunsparce. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 22:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

"Lickitung was the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to be permanently traded. Coincidentally, the second permanently-traded Pokémon is also of the Normal-type and receives an evolution in Generation IV, Aipom."

Uh, so [[James's Victreebel]] doesn't count?

It was released soon after it was traded so I guess it doesn't count as a permanently traded Pokemon. [[User:Farfetch'd|Farfetch'd]] 19:22, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

== Move protect ==

Looking at the history, I see quite a few moves that were quickly reverted. Should this article be protected against moves? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 20:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Trivia on Growlie's page:
''"Growlie is the only one of James's Pokémon which isn't Poison, Grass, or Psychic-type."''

If this is notable, then should it be noted that Lickitung is the only one of Jessie's Pokémon which isn't Poison, Bug, or Psychic-type?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 01:17, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:Growlie is noatable because James has more than one poison, grass and psychic, putting this on here would mean we could put the same on Wobbo's saying he is not a normal type [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 01:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
::Woobat's also psychic--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 01:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I realised that last night, I soppose it is valid Trivia then, although you'd have to mention it is not Flying [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 11:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== The move ==

I oppose it greatly. Nobody considers this Benny's Lickitung just like nobody considers Ash's Larvitar "Larvitar (anime)". --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
:It was traded from Jessie to Benny therefore it is Benny's Lickitung. Keeping the page as Jessie's Lickitung is just incorrect and is false information given by the wiki. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 07:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
::I oppose, with the same reason as Kenji.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 09:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Hahahahah I love the cut and paste conversation on each page. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 10:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I oppose this move. A pokemon that was owned by a main character for an extended period of time should not be moved to a character of the day, even though that's where they are now. [[User:JDDJS|JDDJS]] 18:33, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

'''Hello, Pummelo!''' (Japanese: '''ウィナーズカップ！フルバトル６ＶＳ６！！''' ''Winner's Cup! Full Battle 6 VS 6!!'') is episode 111 of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 2, 1999 and in the United States on September 23, 2000.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
[[Pummelo Island]] is now in sight. However, before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive, they notice a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{m|fly}}ing around, which seems to be a {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}.

On reaching the island, the first thing Ash does is register himself for a {{pkmn|battle}} against the {{OBP|Drake|Orange League|leader of the Orange Crew}}. After having his [[badge]]s verified, he is told that his battle will be held on the following morning. Ash is now ready to start training, but {{an|Misty}} tells him that first he needs to know where the stadium is. After being shown the stadium, (which is very hard to miss) Ash is shown the Hall of Fame where all victorious Trainers are immortalized. But no one has beaten the leader in a long time, and the reason why no one was able to beat the leader is because his {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} was too strong to be defeated.

The said leader is very disappointed about this. Though he doesn't have any time to dwell on it as {{TRT}} have turned up to steal his Dragonite. However, one {{m|Hyper Beam}} later and they are already blasting off.

Ash is now ready to get into training. But there is a problem... {{AP|Snorlax}} won't wake up. On consulting [[Nurse Joy]], she states that Snorlax probably won't wake up for several days. This means that it won't be able to battle. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}}, who suggests using one of his other Pokémon instead. {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Muk}} and one of his {{AP|Tauros}} turn up, and Ash decides to go with Tauros due to the "beginner's luck" factor that won his battle with Kingler back in the [[Indigo League]]. Ash puts Snorlax's [[Poké Ball]] on the transporter and receives a very happy Tauros in return.

That evening, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] contemplate their humiliating defeat. A van drives past informing everyone that a challenger has been found who will battle the next day. {{MTR}} likes this as they can get Dragonite when the challenger has softened it up a little.

The next morning, Ash arrives at the stadium ready to battle. After the customary handshake, the referee states that the state of the field will change after one of them has three Pokémon faint. As he says this, the flat field disappears and is replaced by a field with rocks on it and a pool in the middle. Outside, Team Rocket are more amazed at who the challenger is. But Meowth states that this will just make things all the more interesting.

Drake starts with {{p|Ditto}}, while Ash starts with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ditto naturally starts with {{m|Transform}} to turn into a copy of Pikachu. Pikachu begins with a powerful {{m|Thunder}}, and then Ditto uses its own Thunder. Next, they both use {{m|ThunderShock}} at the same time. The rocks begin to crumble, hurting Pikachu but not Ditto, who calmly hops from one to the other. Ditto starts using {{m|Agility}}, while Pikachu tries unsuccessfully to shock it. Ditto then hits Pikachu with more electricity, but it has no effect as Pikachu channels it to the ground with its tail. Pikachu then uses Agility too, until they meet each other in the air. Both fall to the ground, though Pikachu manages to get up and knock Ditto with its tail to win the round. {{Tracey}} realizes that Pikachu managed to win because it was in better physical shape. Ash has done really well to get past Drake's Ditto but he still has another five Pokémon to face.

Drake is proud of his Ditto for battling and is proud of Ash on his first victory and tells Ash that he's going to get rocked by his next Pokémon, an {{p|Onix}}! Ash recalls Pikachu and sends out {{AP|Squirtle}}. Drake seems pleased with this. As Ash tells Squirtle to use {{m|Water Gun}}, Drake tells Onix to use {{m|Dig}}. As the rock snake burrows underground, it dodges the Water Gun. Ash is now unsure as to what to do, finally deciding to send Squirtle into the water. However, Onix gets to Squirtle first, knocking it into the air before holding it in a {{m|Bind}}. Squirtle manages to counter this by using {{m|Withdraw}} followed by {{m|Hydro Pump}}. A final {{m|Skull Bash}} finishes the round.

Drake is surprised at Ash's second victory, but tells him that he won't have a ghost of a chance against his third Pokémon, {{p|Gengar}}. Misty and Tracey are worried as no Pokémon is strong against a ghost, so Ash decides to try his beginner's luck strategy and sends out Tauros. Drake thinks Ash has finally slipped up. Tauros uses {{m|Fissure}}, but Gengar just jumps into the air, making the ground attack useless. Gengar then uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} on Tauros, who starts running into the rocks. Ash has no choice but to recall Tauros.

Ash decides to counter Confuse Ray with {{m|Ice Beam}}, and sends out Lapras. Lapras avoids Gengar's initial attacks by going underwater, coming out to hit Gengar with a {{m|Water Gun}}. Gengar then tries {{m|Night Shade}}, so Lapras uses Ice Beam. The attacks collide and an explosion engulfs the arena. Who will be left standing?

==Trivia==
* When the characters see Dragonite at the start of the episode, the theme used is ''Dragonite Takes Flight'' from the [[Pokémon The First Movie (score)|score]] of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* In the Japanese version, the [[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare Da?]] Pokémon was Ditto. It appeared to be a Pikachu at first, but then transformed back into Ditto when it was revealed.
* During the battle between Pikachu and Ditto, Pikachu's Quick Attack and Ditto's Agility looked the same.
* Drake's {{p|Gengar}} was able to hover over {{AP|Tauros}}'s {{m|Fissure}} attack, rendering it useless. While at the time this was impossible in the games, the concept of certain Pokémon (including Gengar) floating to evade {{type2|Ground}} moves {{a|Levitate|would later be implemented}}.
*The book ''[[Thundershock in Pummelo Stadium]]'' is based on this episode.

===Errors===
* Even though Ash caught his Tauros in a [[Safari Ball]], it was in a normal [[Poké Ball]] when he received it from Professor Oak to battle Drake.
* Tracey says that there is no type which would be really strong against as {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon. In reality, Ghost Pokémon are weak against {{t|Ghost}}.
* The announcer called Gengar's {{m|Confuse Ray}} "Confusion Ray".
* In the scene where Ash scans his Pokedex for Dragonite, the statue is above it, and not under it.

===Dub edits===
* Although the dub implies that Drake is merely a fifth Gym Leader in the Orange League, the Japanese version specifically uses the title Head Leader to denote his importance.
* When Ash is thinking about what Pokémon to use against {{p|Gengar}}, Tracey originally tells Ash to use Psychic or {{type2|Ground}} moves against the Ghost/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon, making Ash to choose Tauros due to it knowing Fissure. In the dub, Tracey says that there is no type that is really strong against a Ghost-type Pokémon, which Ash answers by saying, "Now's a good time as any for a little beginner's luck."
