Jasonz2z: Origin - The Future is Wild Squibbon and Megasquid

Could toadscool and toedscruel possibly take inspiration from Squibbon and Megasquid (future terrestrial squid evolutions) from "The Future is Wild" 2003 tv documentary series on speculative evolution, which I don't see being farfetched with a region full of past & future evolutions. They could be an example of convergent evolution (unrelated species evolving similar physiology) or they could still be closely related species that branched off, we've seen with regional forms that pokemon can take on different typings and physiologies. Even more so in Paldea where tera types can temporarily alter any pokemon's core typings.

Giant Pokémon

Jasonz2z: /* Ancient giant Pokémon */

'''Giant Pokémon''', while rarely playing a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon anime]]. There are several episodes that have a plot revolving around unusually large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through.

===Ancient giant Pokémon===
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in the ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks. Gengar emerged from a black vajra-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

It {{m|Selfdestruct|destroyed itself}} rather than be captured by [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]].

Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}} in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''. He later gave it to {{Gary}} in exchange for a picture of his sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].

===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===

'''Delibird''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デリバード''' ''Delibird'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Delibird is a red penguin-like Pokémon with a sack-like tail in which it stores {{m|Present|presents}} among other things. It has a patch of fluffy feathers on its chest that resembles a beard, and crests on its head. There is also a circular, white, button-like marking lower on Delibird's chest. Delibird has a white face with black rings around its eyes. Delibird's beak and feet are light-yellow.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Delibird's most famous power is that it attacks by giving {{m|present}}s to its opponents. These presents, glowing orbs pulled from inside its tail, often explode, damaging the enemy. However, this move is unpredictable, even for the Delibird. The effect of the present could harm an opponent, or could even help it.

Delibird is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Present}} by leveling up, and that is the only move it learns that way. It can learn other, more traditional {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Flying}} moves by more indirect means.

===Behavior===
Delibird carries food bundled up in its tail, carrying it wherever it may go. It spends all day carrying food to its awaiting chicks.

Delibird are often delivering items to either Pokémon or people. The deliveries are often from humans, but may be from Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Delibird tend to live in mountainous regions, making their nests over sharp cliffs.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Team Rocket Delibird flying.png|thumb|200px|right|Delibird in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Santa's Delibird]]====
Delibird first appeared in ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]'' under the ownership of [[Santa Claus]]. [[Ash's Totodile]] shot a {{TP|Santa|Delibird}} that was delivering presents clear out of the sky with a {{m|Water Gun}}-propelled snowball. {{p|Pikachu}} and co. had to help the Delivery Pokémon find the five presents before midnight.

====[[Delibird (Team Rocket)]]====
Delibird's first appearance in the main series was in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]''. It was owned by an [[Rocket Scout|elderly talent scout]] from [[Team Rocket]]. Since that episode, the Delivery Pokémon kept following [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} to collect money that the three of them owe. Fortunately for the Rocket Trio, Delibird was no longer able to tail them since the action moved to the [[Hoenn]] Region. Delibird has also appeared in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving]]'', and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]].

===Minor appearances===
A Delibird also appeared in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP231|Delibird|Ash's Pokédex|Delibird, the Delivery Pokémon. Delibird’s most unique [[Move|attack]] is {{m|Present|giving presents}}, however, some of these presents have been known to explode. Sometimes, Delibird’s presents can actually restore energy to its opponents.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Masked Man Delibird.png|thumb|right|200px|Delibird in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Delibird appears as one of the Pokémon used by [[Pryce]]. It is the most common Pokémon that have been used by [[Pryce]]. It appears to be the same Pokémon used by him in his [[Masked Man|alias]], and was strong enough that it allowed him to capture {{p|Ho-Oh}}. However, {{adv|Gold}} was able to knock it out with [[Polibo]]'s {{m|Perish Song}} attack.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Delibird stars in its own mini-game called "Delibird's Delivery." In this game, players collect presents from one side of the field to the other. The player must avoid {{p|Swinub}} that scurry around or they will trip the Delibird and cause the player to lose the present they were carrying.
* [[Pokémon Channel]]: Delibird is the delivery boy for the "Shop 'n {{p|Squirtle}}."

==Trivia==
* Delibird is unique for the fact that it's one of the few Pokémon who can learn TM moves when it learns fewer than 4 moves by leveling up.
* It is the only non-{{type|Water}} Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Ice Ball}}, despite {{m|Ice Ball}} being an {{type|Ice}} move.
* The [[Pokémon Ultimate Handbook]] incorrectly states that Delibird is a [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Although Delibird is clearly based on a bird, it is not in the {{egg|Flying}} Egg group. It shares this trait with {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Piplup}} and their evolutions.
** Coincidentally, Delibird and the {{p|Piplup}} family are based on penguins.
* Delibird's Hidden Ability is {{a|Insomnia}}, despite it already having access to {{a|Vital Spirit|another Ability with the exact same effect.}}

===Origin===
Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the {{wp|Rockhopper Penguin}}. However, its red and white color scheme, its ability to give presents, and the appearance of carrying its sack-like tail may have been derived from {{wp|Santa Claus}} and the {{wp|white stork}}. Delibird may have also been inspired by {{wp|puffin}}s, which are penguin-like birds that still have the ability to fly.

====Name origin====
Delibird is a combination of ''delivery'' and ''bird''. ''Deli'' may have derived from the {{wp|Adelie Penguin}}. Pronouncing ''Delibird'' with the same inflection as ''delivered'' yields a very similar sound, with the "b" and "v" being the only variation between the two words.

'''Keldeo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケルディオ''' ''Keldeo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Keldeo|second form]], which is activated by triggering an event in the [[Oath Woods]] where {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}} teach it {{m|Secret Sword}} and changes its form permanently as long as it knows Secret Sword. Its original form '''Ordinary Form''', will then become '''Resolute Form'''.

Keldeo was {{n|Keldeo to be revealed in upcoming CoroCoro|leaked}} on a photo of a page from [[CoroCoro]] magazine on February 13, 2012, and it was officially revealed on [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2012/02/120215_g01.html?a001=news February 15, 2012]. Its Resolute Form was officially revealed June 13, 2012.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, Keldeo is a member of the [[legendary musketeers]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Keldeo is pony-like, with a large, feathery red mane, long, dark blue, ridged eyebrow-like features, and a single cream-colored horn that is slightly curved. The back of its head, as well as its neck, has light blue-and-white-spotted coloration with spiky edges at the lower portion. Its body is cream-colored, with blue hooves. Its blue-and-white-spotted, lifted and feathery tail is comparable to an elaborate feather in a cap.

====Gender differences====
Keldeo is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Keldeo has the ability to cross water by ejecting water from its hooves, It also changes into its Resolute Form when taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in [[Oath Woods]].

===Behavior===
Keldeo tends to run about the entire world, running on the surface of seas and rivers.

===Habitat===
Keldeo appears at beautiful watersides.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
Long ago, a fire started in the [[Moor of Icirrus]] because of a war among people. In this fire, Keldeo was separated from its parents, but together, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} took care of Keldeo. They acted as its parents, and they taught it knowledge and moves for survival. Keldeo eventually grew and even surpassed the three Pokémon. One day, Keldeo took off from the forest with no one knowing why.

When the three meet again, they teach Keldeo the move {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Keldeo anime.png|thumb|250px|Keldeo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Keldeo made its debut in the [[M15|fifteenth]] [[Pokémon movie]], being one of its stars along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} and {{p|Kyurem}}. Its Resolute Form also appeared in the movie.

==Trivia==
* As the fourth member of the [[legendary musketeers]], it shares several traits with them, but is somewhat different in a number of ways:
** Unlike the others, Keldeo is unable to learn {{m|Quick Attack}}. Instead, it is capable of learning {{m|Aqua Jet}}, a [[move variations|variation]] of Quick Attack.
** The moves that Keldeo learns by level have higher base powers than the moves learned by the other legendary musketeers.
** Keldeo learns {{m|Sacred Sword}} one level later than the other three.
** Keldeo is not listed near the other three in [[National Pokédex]] order.
** It distributes {{EV}}s for three different stats ({{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}}) as opposed to a single stat.
** Its legs seem to be stylized after animal legs and hooves, unlike the others, which seem to have boots.
* Keldeo has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Keldeo, along with {{p|Meloetta}}, are the only {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[legendary Pokémon]] to learn their [[signature move]]s from an external source.
* Keldeo has the lowest base stat total of all event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, excluding {{p|Phione}}, whose legendary status is disputed.
* Its trait of running across water mirrors {{p|Suicune}}, another quadrupedal {{type|Water}} legendary Pokémon.
* Despite Keldeo not being legitimately available in {{g|Black and White}}, the Legendary Pokémon battle theme plays when Keldeo is battled in-game via [[cheating]].

===Origin===
Keldeo is most likely based on the legend of the {{wp|kelpie}}, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony. Keldeo is also likely based on the {{wp|kirin}} also referred to as the "Chinese {{wp|unicorn}}" which are often depicted with a single backwards curving horn and posses the ability to walk on water. Keldeo may also draw inspiration by the character of {{wp|d'Artagnan}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''. Like d'Artagnan, it is the latest and youngest addition to the group. Keldeo's tail also resembles d'Artagnan's trademark feathered cap.

====Name origin====
Keldeo may be derived from ''kelda'' ({{wp|Old Norse}} for ''spring/fountain'') or may be a combination of ''{{wp|kelpie}}'', (a water horse from Celtic folklore) and ''{{wp|rodeo}}'' (a sport involving skills with horses, cows, and other livestock).

'''Keldeo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケルディオ''' ''Keldeo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Keldeo|second form]], which is activated by triggering an event in the [[Oath Woods]] where {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}} teach it {{m|Secret Sword}} and changes its form permanently as long as it knows Secret Sword. Its original form '''Ordinary Form''', will then become '''Resolute Form'''.

Keldeo was {{n|Keldeo to be revealed in upcoming CoroCoro|leaked}} on a photo of a page from [[CoroCoro]] magazine on February 13, 2012, and it was officially revealed on [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2012/02/120215_g01.html?a001=news February 15, 2012]. Its Resolute Form was officially revealed June 13, 2012.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, Keldeo is a member of the [[legendary musketeers]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Keldeo is pony-like, with a large, feathery red mane, long, dark blue, ridged eyebrow-like features, and a single cream-colored horn that is slightly curved. The back of its head, as well as its neck, has light blue-and-white-spotted coloration with spiky edges at the lower portion. Its body is cream-colored, with blue hooves. Its blue-and-white-spotted, lifted and feathery tail is comparable to an elaborate feather in a cap.

====Gender differences====
Keldeo is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Keldeo has the ability to cross water by ejecting water from its hooves, It also changes into its Resolute Form when taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in [[Oath Woods]].

===Behavior===
Keldeo tends to run about the entire world, running on the surface of seas and rivers.

===Habitat===
Keldeo appears at beautiful watersides.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
Long ago, a fire started in the [[Moor of Icirrus]] because of a war among people. In this fire, Keldeo was separated from its parents, but together, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} took care of Keldeo. They acted as its parents, and they taught it knowledge and moves for survival. Keldeo eventually grew and even surpassed the three Pokémon. One day, Keldeo took off from the forest with no one knowing why.

When the three meet again, they teach Keldeo the move {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* As the fourth member of the [[legendary musketeers]], it shares several traits with them, but is somewhat different in a number of ways:
** Unlike the others, Keldeo is unable to learn {{m|Quick Attack}}. Instead, it is capable of learning {{m|Aqua Jet}}, a [[move variations|variation]] of Quick Attack.
** The moves that Keldeo learns by level have higher base powers than the moves learned by the other legendary musketeers.
** Keldeo learns {{m|Sacred Sword}} one level later than the other three.
** Keldeo is not listed near the other three in [[National Pokédex]] order.
** It distributes {{EV}}s for three different stats ({{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}}) as opposed to a single stat.
** Its legs seem to be stylized after animal legs and hooves, unlike the others, which seem to have boots.
* Keldeo has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Keldeo, along with {{p|Meloetta}}, are the only {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[legendary Pokémon]] to learn their [[signature move]]s from an external source.
* Keldeo has the lowest base stat total of all event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, excluding {{p|Phione}}, whose legendary status is disputed.
* Its trait of running across water mirrors {{p|Suicune}}, another quadrupedal {{type|Water}} legendary Pokémon.
* Despite Keldeo not being legitimately available in {{g|Black and White}}, the Legendary Pokémon battle theme plays when Keldeo is battled in-game via [[cheating]].

===Origin===
Keldeo is most likely based on the legend of the {{wp|kelpie}}, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony. Keldeo is also likely based on the {{wp|Kirin}} also referred to as the "Chinese {{wp|unicorn}}" which are often depicted with a single backwards curving horn and posses the ability to walk on water.
