Could anyone give me the kanji for ''maguro''???--[[User talk:444Zekrom|444]][[User:444Zekrom|Z]][[Zekrom|ekrom]] 12:22, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

== water weakness ==

is it trivia to say that Maggyo, with the exception of {{p|Rotom|Microwave Rotom}}, is the only electric type weak to water? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 16:11, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's not only one, as you just said. Also [[User:Memo326/Trivia_Policy|not notable]]. --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 17:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Maggyo: Fish or Fish-like ==

There is a lot of controversy over this throughout the Internet. I've done a bit of research and it is, indeed, found using a Super Rod in Sekka City. It isn't, in fact, a water type, which most likely makes it the first pokemon obtained by rod without being water type. {{unsigned|Dewott}}

== Name origin ==

Fisk is danish for fish + a mix of fish and disk, and stun is just English. It all makes perfect sense.

==Move to Vaivanila?==
I know it's a little bit obvious but maybe we should use this name like we did with Reparudasu/Leopardas. --[[User:Shining Latios|Shining Latios]] 02:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

::: the same way we knew Tsutarja's official romanization name before it was put on products, the official japanese site took the names and registered them [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

==Egg Moves==
There are a number of egg moves for Baibanira which say they need to be chain-bred from another Pokémon from its evolution family. Is this because nothing else from the Mineral egg group can have these moves? And would this even count as chain-breeding in that case? It's quite confusing. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 17:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
: I don´t know if it is considered chain breeding, but i think the moves it has to breed from itself are from the dream world.--[[User:Jespoke|Jespoke]] 21:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Doryuuzu does evolve from Mogyryuu according to the recent official clips on bulbanews where Moguryuu is seen evolving into Doryuuzu {{unsigned|Kogaelite}}

==Physiology==
Perhaps somthing should be mentiond about Moguryuu's more promanant features, like the length of its snout and how the claws are shaped like spades for digging. All I'm saying is that there is more to this Pokémon than its colouration. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 03:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:wasn't that written when all we had was a sprite? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
:: Maybe we should put in that the shovel-shape of the claws also can be used to cloak around its head so that the claws make a drill? Its evo does something similar in BW009--[[User:Jespoke|Jespoke]] 15:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==
I think it's more likely that its name is based on screw than shrew, thoughts? {{unsigned|Vienna Waltz}}

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from [[Old Amber]] and is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
It is widely considered to be extinct, and is only found by resurrecting it from the [[Old Amber]].

===Physiology===
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, saw-bladed like fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its wings have skin stretched from its side to its arms. The triangular-shaped tip of its tail is gray, like the tail itself which is connected to its oval body. Aerodactyl have dark green eyes, though the iris is barely visible.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. It is also very durable due to its rock-hard body. Aerodactyl also shows some form of relationship to Dragons, thus allowing it learn Dragon-type moves and Fire-type moves, such as {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through the throats of its victims with its serrated, saw-like fangs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown even though some living samples have been found miles underground in caves, but so far most Aerodactyl are revived from [[Old Amber]]. It most likely lived in mountainous areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the episode ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Ash's Pokédex states "Its hard fangs suggest it might have been a {{wp|carnivore}}. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey."

In the episode ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', the Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island.

==In the anime==
[[File:DP017.png|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and [[Team Rocket]]. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. [[Todd Snap|Todd]] took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{mov|Latias|Latias|5}}. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its fossil state.

===Minor appearances===

Aerodactyl can be seen flying within the Tree of Beginning in Pokemon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl was originally going to use its Japanese name, "Ptera", as its English name.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' it was mentioned that Aerodactyl was carnivorous based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other fossil Pokémon when it arrived). However in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' it is shown and proven to be at least omnivorous, based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is the only non-{{type2|Steel}} that can learn {{m|Iron Head}} by [[level|leveling up]].
** It and {{p|Tyranitar}} are also the only Pokémon that learn both {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}} by leveling up.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[fossil]] Pokémon that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution.
** It is also the only fossil Pokémon that can be obtained in any way other than breeding it or reviving its fossil: it is available through an [[in-game trade]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and one of Hayley's trades.
*** The trade in [[Generation II]] was removed in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, for reasons unknown.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Generation I]] {{type2|Rock}} that doesn't have a 4× weakness to {{type2|Grass}} moves.
* Aerodactyl is the fastest {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, with a base Speed of 130.
* For some reason the the Aerodactyl skeleton in Firered and Leafgreen stands in the Ruby,Sapphire and Emerald posture instead of its Firered and Leafgreen posture.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles, particularly the {{wp|rhamphorhynchoidea}} branch, due to Aerodactyl's possession of teeth and a long tail. It also seems to possess some {{wp|dragon}}-like characteristics, such as that of a {{wp|wyvern}}, a two legged variety of dragon, which would explain its being on Lance's team.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining ''aero'', {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for air, or '''aeroplane''', with the similar sounding ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''. The "Aero" could also refer to the shape of the end of its tail (Which resembles the end of an arrow). Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word ''pterosaur''.

I thought ''半分'' meant by half?--[[User talk:444Zekrom|444]][[User:444Zekrom|Z]][[Zekrom|ekrom]] 14:10, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's halved. At serebii, it explicitly states that only Attack is decreased, and it isn't stated how much. Until we know how much, we should keep it as "decreased" rather than "halved" for now. [[User:Smugleaf•|Smugleaf]] 18:48, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I find it funny how we have an ability called "Timid" that reduces Attack....which is exactly what Timid Nature do. [[User:Magnezone|Magnezone]] 11:54, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:This is for the forums. It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 12:00, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

At Psypoke, it specifically says that mentions that the stat is reduced by half. However, it claims that both the Attack and Special Attack stats are halved. Is this inaccurate? --[[User:BradRepko|BradRepko]] 11:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Archeos doesn't strike me as a timid pokemon at all... does anybody know if "Timid" is the trademarked romanji?

==Trivia==
*Washibon can be seen as a counterpart to [[Baruchai (Pokémon)|Baruchai]]: Both are dual-typed [[Flying-type]] Pokémon that are described as baby eagles, are members of a two-stage evolutionary family who [[evolve]] into their final form at level 54. They are both also members of a single-gender species (Washibon is exclusively male, whereas {{p|Baruchai}} is exclusively female). Their movesets are also substantially similar, sharing the same number of start moves and level-up moves, with all of their level-up moves occurring at the same levels. They are also exclusive to a game each.

===Origin===
Washibon is based on an {{wp|eagle}} chick.

====Name origin====

Washibon derives the beginning part of its name from 鷲 ''washi'', Japanese for eagle.

{{ElementalTypes|dark}}
{{TypeNotice|Dark|あく|Evil}}
Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Giima]] of the [[Isshu]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

}}

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

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|Drapion}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the fourth is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

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|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[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, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], all three special Dark-type moves ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Bark Out}} and {{m|Night Burst}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

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==
In total, there are 39 Pokémon of the currently known 649 species with the Dark-type, making it tied with Electric as the twelfth most common type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 95, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, Judgment becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all five generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 95% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokemon's of all, introducing 16 of the 39

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Dark-type Pokémon are [[Karen]] of the [[Indigo Plateau|Johto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Sidney]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, and [[Giima]] of the [[Isshu]] Elite Four. Notably, the Dark-type is the only type that has not had at least one [[Pokémon Gym]] dedicated to it.

==Characteristics==
Dark-type Pokémon were added in [[Generation II]].

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|Drapion}}, and {{p|Tyranitar}} (the fourth is probably due to {{t|Rock|its other type}}). Just the same, Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type2|Ghost}} have no true weaknesses, as the resistances of the Dark-type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. One of the greatest advantages of the Dark-type is that they are immune to {{type2|Psychic}}s.

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|Flinching}}, {{m|Faint Attack}} never misses, {{m|Night Slash}} has a high [[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, and {{m|Snatch}}, which steals the beneficial effects of an opponent's moves.

Even though the Dark type was considered a [[special move|special type]] prior to [[Generation IV]], all three special Dark-type moves ({{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Bark Out}} and {{m|Night Burst}}) were introduced after [[Generation III]], meaning that all Dark-type moves that were once special moves are now all [[Physical move]]s.

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==
In total, there are 39 Pokémon of the currently known 649 species with the Dark-type, making it tied with Electric as the twelfth most common type.

==Trivia==
* There are no Dark-type moves with a base power greater than 95, making it the only elemental type without a single move with a base power of 100 or more (other than {{m|Judgment}}). This means that while holding the {{DL|Plate|Dread Plate}}, Judgment becomes the strongest Dark-type move with 100 power.
* None of the main characters of the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Dark-type Pokémon. However, {{Ash}}, [[James]], and {{an|May}} own or have owned Pokémon that can evolve into a Dark-type.
* Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno", but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" as well. However, ''Sombrio'' means Shadow, another type.
* The Dark type is the only type which does not have members from all generations released so far.
** It is also the only type absent from a [[regional Pokédex]], not appearing in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
** The opposite is true for moves, with {{m|Bite}}'s change from being a {{type2|Normal}} to a Dark-type move causing there to be Dark-type moves from all five generations.
* {{m|Dark Void}} is the only Dark-type move without 95% accuracy or higher.
* There has yet to be a [[Pokémon Gym]] that specializes in the Dark type. Despite this, there have been three [[Elite Four]] members who specialize in Dark-type Pokémon.
* Generation V introduced the most Dark-type Pokemon's of all, introducing 16 of the 37

==Variation of Poison Point==
It seems to have the same effect; does it vary at all, and even so, would it still count as a variation? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Based on the description in the section that says 'Battle Effects', I thought that it made all contact moves have a 30% chance of poison, which doesn't sound like a variation of poison point. Can someone with Black or White confirm this? [[User:Poisson14|Poisson14]] 17:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

==Name==
First, if the name is confirmed ignore this.
I know other fansites aren't reliable sources, but doesn't "Poison Hand" fit the effect and the pokemon who can have it better?

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
[[Misty's Horsea]] needs to find a bigger pool to swim in, and so, the gang decide to head for Misty's home town, [[Cerulean City]]. When they get there, the discover that Misty's sisters at the [[Cerulean Gym]] are having trouble attracting crowds to their performances and have advertised Misty to be in a new performance called the "Underwater Ballet." {{an|Misty}} is reluctant to be a part of this at first, but finally agrees after much begging from her sisters.

The whole gym fills up with people eager to see the show. {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} are sitting among the audience, and Ash is excited to see Misty. The show starts smoothly with Misty swimming with the water Pokémon. While {{ka|Lily}} and [[Violet]] are watching [[Team Rocket]] attacks them and replaces them to be the antagonists of the show. Because of this, Ash becomes the prince in order to help Misty out together with Brock. An underwater battle commence between Misty's and Ash's water Pokémon and [[Jessie's Arbok]], which happens to put up a good fight.

The battle continues and the audience are completely convinced that it's all part of the show and are practically enjoying it. {{p|Seel}} fights well against Arbok and eventually evolves into {{p|Dewgong}} to finish off Team Rocket once and for all. With Dewgong and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s help, Team Rocket gets blasted off again. The crowd goes wild, an obvious fact that they enjoyed the show. Because of this, the Cerulean Gym shows are popular again.

Before departing, Misty decides to leave Horsea in the gym and her sisters borrowed her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. They also want {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and Pikachu as well, but Misty and Ash refuse to hand them over, but Misty offers to let them have Psyduck, which the sisters say they aren't that desperate for. After all that, Ash and his friends bid farewell to the Sensational Sisters to continue their journey. As they leave Cerulean City, Ash says that Misty was pretty amazing back there, but Misty reminds him that he still owes her a bike.

== Major events ==
* [[The Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters']] {{p|Seel}} evolves into {{p|Dewgong}}.

*The dub title of the episode is a reference to the story ''{{wp|The Little Mermaid}}''.
* Since Ash registered Dewgong underwater, the [[Pokédex]] is apparently waterproof.
* Unlike its pre-evolution {{p|Ekans}}, [[Jessie's Arbok]] is shown to have the ability to swim underwater. [[James's Weezing]] however, is less dense than water and is unable to stay underwater.
* The DVD/VHS release of this episode incorrectly places it directly after ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]''.
* The book ''[[Splashdown in Cerulean City]]'' is based on this episode.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 3: Water'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* It's revealed that {{p|Psyduck}} doesn't know how to swim, despite being a water Pokémon.

=== Errors ===
* When Brock enters the Cerulean Gym, Misty's sisters greet him like they know him, however, Brock never met them during their debut episode, as he said he had some things to do so he left Ash alone to go to the [[Gym]]. It is possible, however, that they met beforehand, especially because they where all gym leaders.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
On the way to [[Saffron City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} arrive at a high cliff. Brock informs the others that the ridge of the cliff should lead right to Saffron City. Then Ash notices a large group of {{p|Butterfree}} in the horizon. Brock states that the Butterfree are celebrating their season of love to find a mate.

The group rents a hot-air balloon and are soon in the air following the Butterfree. Ash sends his {{AP|Butterfree}} to find a mate but it struggles to get any interest from the other Butterfree. Brock states that none of the Butterfree may be "its type", pointing out the unique differences among all Butterfree. They then notice that other trainers brought their Butterfree, especially a girl Brock falls in love with. Ash's Butterfree flies back to Ash and friends, and after they cheer up the Butterfree it returns to seeking a lifetime mate. Very soon Butterfree falls in love with a [[pink Butterfree]]. The pink Butterfree, however, rejects Ash's Butterfree's proposal. Ash's Butterfree keeps on trying, but the pink one eventually slaps it across the face with its wing. Being shot down, Ash's teary-eyed Butterfree then flies away into a forest.

Eventually Ash, Misty, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Brock find Butterfree in the forest. Totally surprised, they discuss about how they could help Butterfree. Ash decides to check if the [[Pokédex]] could help, but Misty notes that "Dexter's never been in love," so they instead decide to go with a show-off strategy. Ash tells his Butterfree to show its strength to win the love of the pink Butterfree. In order to make Butterfree also look better, Brock puts a scarf around its neck.

They return to the air with Butterfree. After failing to impress the pink Butterfree with {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Tackle}}, [[Team Rocket]] arrives in a helicopter. They sing their [[Team Rocket's motto|motto]] as usual and then go after the Butterfree using a net to gather them. Ash and friends try to make Team Rocket change their mind, but it fails. Soon all the Butterfree are captured by Team Rocket, save Ash's Butterfree. Butterfree then tries to break into the helicopter by using its Tackle attack on the glass, but it fails. It also tries to stop them with {{m|Stun Spore}}, but it fails as well. Ash is about to recall Butterfree and use {{AP|Pidgeotto}} instead, but Misty prevents this because Ash could hurt Butterfree's feelings. Team Rocket leaves the scene and Ash's Butterfree rushes after them. Ash and friends follow it to a warehouse in the middle of a bare canyon.

Ash and friends break in through a window while Team Rocket reviews their catch. They improvise a mock-up version of their motto. Team Rocket tries to prevent them from winning, but Ash's Butterfree dashes through them. Misty calls her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} out of its [[Poké Ball]] and commands it to chase Team Rocket with a Tackle attack. Meanwhile, Butterfree begins to Tackle the net bag holding the other Butterfree. After repeated attempts, Butterfree manages to break open the bag. [[Jessie]] hits Starmie with a hammer, but Misty revives it by spraying water on it. Brock opens the doors and the Butterfree fly out of the warehouse. Team Rocket tries desperately to catch the fleeing Butterfree with small nets, though they fail. Ash's Butterfree, exhausted from breaking the net, is still inside, the pink Butterfree approaching it, impressed by its determination. [[James]] tries to catch it, but Ash's Butterfree knocks James away, also making the pink Butterfree to blush.

Team Rocket attempts to steal the Butterfree again by getting back in the air with their helicopter. Ash and his friends follow them with their rented balloon and they soon find them. As the pink Butterfree watches, Ash's Butterfree flies towards Team Rocket's helicopter with Pikachu on his back. Pikachu jumps on the helicopter and destroys the helicopter with an electric attack, sending Team Rocket down into the darkness. Having witnessed the determination of Ash's Butterfree, the pink Butterfree shows its new love by making its own proposal dance. Naturally, Ash's Butterfree joins the dance.

Back at the cliff, Ash, filled with emotions, farewells the Butterfree couple. As they fly into the sunset, a flashback of Ash's memories is shown. Ash remembers first capturing {{AP|Caterpie}}, then it evolving into a {{AP|Metapod}} and finally into Butterfree. He remembers times with Butterfree such as battling [[Misty's Staryu]] for the {{Badge|Cascade}}. As Misty tells Ash Butterfree is nearly out of sight, he wishes Butterfree good luck. Everyone watches the sun set as another adventure ends.

==Trivia==
* In this episode the [[Team Rocket's motto]] is ripped off for the first time.
* This is the first episode in which a main character releases a Pokémon.
* This episode marks the debut of [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Boss fantasy|boss fantasies]].
* This is one of the few episode titles to be exactly the same, in spoken words, in English and Japanese.
** In English, the title is a play on the musical {{wp|Bye Bye Birdie}}.
* A common and popular misconception was that Ash's Butterfree was to die after mating with the Pink Butterfree in the Japanese Version. However, SPPf's Murgatroyd was the first to debunk the rumors, and Dogasu [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/kanto/ep021.html officially debunked] the rumor once and for all.

===Errors===
===Dub edits===
*At the end of the episode, the song that plays during the scene of Ash and friends saying goodbye to Butterfree is different in both versions: the Japanese version uses ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]'', while the English version uses ''[[Pokémon Theme]]''. However, they are both the first theme songs for their respective versions (Japanese and English).
*A shot of Ash giving commands to Butterfree was replaced with Butterfree doing a skydive.
*The banner that had Team Rocket's motto had the text edited out.
*Meowth's mention of becoming the top cat again was him saying "when we tell the boss..." and trailing off.
*During the scene in which Ash and his friends pursue Team Rocket and then Pikachu uses ThunderShock, an instrumental version of [[Kanto Pokérap]] is played in the European Portuguese dub.

==Trivia==
* Unusually, many {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon can learn Heat Wave by {{v2|Platinum}} [[move tutor]], despite it being a {{type2|Fire}} move. However, this may be because Heat Wave's Japanese name contains the word "wind".
* With the exception of {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Flygon}} are the only Pokémon who can learn this move by tutoring that are not Flying- nor Fire-type.

'''Rollout''' (Japanese: '''ころがる''' ''Roll'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation IV]], a {{p|Lickitung}} that levels up while knowing this move will be able to evolve into a {{p|Lickilicky}}.

==Effect==
Rollout inflicts damage over five turns, doubling in power for each consecutive hit. The power will reset after five turns or if Rollout is interrupted. The power of Rollout is also doubled if {{m|Defense Curl}} has been used previously by the Pokémon and the user has remained in battle since then.

==Trivia==
* Rollout was one of the first [[Generation II]] moves introduced and named. It was shown along with the third Generation II Pokémon introduced, {{p|Donphan}}, when [[Raymond]] used it in the [[M01|first movie]].
* {{p|Lickitung}}, which evolves into {{p|Lickilicky}} when leveled up knowing this move, has been able to learn it in some way since the move's introduction. This trait is shared with {{m|AncientPower}}, which has had a similar history with {{p|Piloswine}}.
* Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, using Rollout, a [[level]] 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} held item, {{m|Power Trick}}, a {{m|Skill Swap}} to {{a|Pure Power}} or {{a|Huge Power}}, and the {{m|Defense Curl}}/Rollout combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability {{a|Flower Gift}} and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 {{p|Ledyba}} that has been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as {{m|Screech}}), it can deal 213,896,052 damage with a critical hit.
*If a Pokémon levels up mid-battle and a new move is learned in place of Rollout while it is still being used, the Pokémon will continue using Rollout in spite of having forgotten it.

==Trivia==
* In some copies of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, using Thunderbolt or {{m|Thunder}} may freeze the game during the animation sequence. This may be rectified by turning off the battle animations.
** Another, less harmful variation also exists, which causes the sound of the attack gets stuck in a loop and plays as long as the game is turned on, even after the battle is over.
* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the [[battle animation]] for Thunderbolt contains several more, shorter flashes compared to the animation in the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. The attack animation was likely toned down to prevent {{wp|epileptic seizures}}.
* In the console games, Thunderbolt is shown going straight forward to the foes' Pokémon, while in the handheld games it is shown going straight down. This was most likely done to prevent confusion with Thunder.
* Because of Pikachu's early mastery of this move in the anime, it is by far one of the most used moves throughout the entire series, being used since even the earliest episodes. However, such episodes would also use moves simply called "Electric attack" or even "lightning" attack.
* Both {{m|ThunderShock}} and Thunderbolt were translated to Portuguese as "Choque do Trovão".
* Thunderbolt's Japanese name corresponds with Raichu's Pokédex entries which state that its Electric attacks can reach up to 100,000 volts of electricity.
*As of [[Generation IV]], only members of the {{p|Pichu}} or the {{p|Elekid}} evolutionary families can learn Thunderbolt by leveling up.

'''Blissey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハピナス''' ''Happinas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chansey}} via [[happiness]]. She is the final form of {{p|Happiny}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blissey has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. The hair-like growths she had as a Chansey have curled up on her head. She has white, wing-like appendages where her arms meet her body and around her middle. She seems to have lost the tail she had as a Chansey. Like her pre-evolutions, she has a pouch on her stomach that holds an egg.

====Gender differences====
Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and her pre-evolved form, Chansey, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Softboiled}} naturally. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Smeargle}} can also {{m|Sketch}} the move.

===Behavior===
Blissey is an extremely compassionate [[Pokémon]] by nature. If it sees a sick Pokémon, it will attempt to nurse the injured Pokémon back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur allows it to sense feelings of sadness. Upon sensing any sadness, this Pokémon will race to the source of the sadness, no matter the distance, and share its egg of happiness that instantly makes a person smile.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Blissey are commonly seen in [[Pokémon Center]]s under the ownership of [[Nurse Joy]].

===Diet===

===Minor appearances===
A Blissey made a brief appearance in ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]''.

Another Blissey made an appearance in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' where it was found working in the [[Pokémon Center]] near [[Lake Acuity]] to help treat Ash's injured Pokémon.

==In the manga==
A Blissey captured by {{adv|Crystal}} and lent to {{adv|Emerald}} for his [[Battle Pike|Pike]] challenge appeared in the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 27|27th volume]]. With its high Special Defense aided by a suitable nature served much use for the boy, and though it was eventually defeated, it was able to revitalize another borrowed Pokémon, a {{p|Rapidash}}, using {{m|Softboiled}}, with which the queen's {{p|Seviper}} was defeated by a devastating {{m|Overheat}}, winning him the match.

==Trivia==
* Of all Pokémon, Blissey's HP [[base stats|base stat]] is the highest, at 255, giving it the ability to have the highest HP of any other Pokémon in the games (with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if it has 31 HP IVs).
** Blissey's HP base stat is the highest base single stat, out of all Pokémon.
*** Blissey's HP base stat of 255 is the highest base stat possible, as all base stats are a single byte, the maximum value of which is 255 (1111 1111).
* Blissey has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Arceus}} and Blissey's pre-evolutions, {{p|Happiny}} and {{p|Chansey}}.
* Blissey, and its evolution family, Happiny and Chansey, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}}, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}} and the {{evostone|Oval Stone}}.
** Coincidentally, three of them have the word "luck" in their names, Possibly refering to the fact one needs luck to catch a Chansey in the wild.
* Blissey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Togetic}}. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
* In [[Generation III]], Blissey learns a move earlier than its pre-evolved form, Chansey. Chansey learns {{m|Egg Bomb}} at level 35, whilst Blissey learns it at level 28.
* Blissey has the highest Special Defense of all Normal-type Pokémon.
* Due to Blissey´s record-high HP and high Special Defense, in Gen IV, its the Pokemon with the highest Special endurance.

===Origin===
It may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, it appears to have some physical similarities to [[Nurse Joy]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} in both color and hair.

====Name origin====
Blissey's name comes from the word ''bliss'', as in happiness, and from the ending suffix of its pre-evolution, {{p|Chansey}}.

''Happinas'' may be a combination of ''happiness'' and ''nurse'' or just be a corruption of ''happiness''. "Nasu" also means {{wp|eggplant}} in Japanese, which may be a pun on the egg theme of this evolutionary line.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Heiteira - From ''heiter'' (happy) and ''Ei'' (egg).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Leuphorie - From ''l'oeuf'' (the egg) and ''euphorie'' ({{wp|Euphoria (emotion)|euphoria}}).

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is similar to other legendary Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, including its post-National Pokédex appearance and lack of relation to the games' overall plot, it was revealed in early February 2008 to have an [[Form differences#Giratina|alternate form]] known as the Origin Forme, in addition to the form it takes in Diamond and Pearl, the Altered Forme. It is in this new form that Giratina took its place as [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, the third version of [[Generation IV]]'s Sinnoh-based games.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid or gas.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it is related to the two. This assumption is confirmed in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Forme is the same as the Altered Forme's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World, its home. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a ghostly red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}.

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

====Special abilities====
Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World.

As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, or HeartGold and Soul Silver via event, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}}.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
Legends claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the [[Distortion World|reverse side of ours]]. It was banished for violence, possibly by Arceus.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered Forme.png|Giratina Origin Form.png}}|thumb|right|210px|Giratina in its {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme]]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{an|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to it during its fight with {{an|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[M12|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

An illusion of Giratina appeared in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]''.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in [[DP173]].

==In the manga==
Giratina appears in ''{{OBP|Giratina and the Sky Warrior|manga}}''. Much like in the movie, it attacks Dialga and drags it into the Reverse World, and later is hunted by Zero. In ''{{OBP|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga}}'', Giratina reappears alongside Dialga and Palkia to face off against Arceus.

* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[Dragon trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only member of [[Dragon trio|its trio]] that does not have the first letter of the game it is mascot to match the first letter of its name.
** It is the only member with [[form differences]].
** Its HP is its highest stat rather than Special Attack.
** It does not have a [[type-enhancing item]] in Diamond and Pearl.
** It is the only member whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not a [[Special move|Special]] or {{type|Dragon}} move.
** It is met at level 70 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} while the other members are met at level 47. This is reversed in {{v2|Platinum}}.
** It is the only one of its trio without a jewel on its body.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member with a catch rate of 3, and the only one without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the [[Mystery Dungeon]] series.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
** It is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon. However, it is tied with non-legendaries {{p|Slaking}} and {{p|Drifblim}} and beaten by {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Wailord}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.
* It is one of eight Pokémon which can change forms, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Giratina's Origin Forme is only available in {{game|Platinum}} and later games.
** It is the only [[version mascot]] with the ability to change forms.
** It is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Shaymin}}.
** In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* In Platinum, Giratina is the only Pokémon to come out from above the screen during the start of the battle. Also, it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a Poké Ball.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}; this is also stated in HeartGold and SoulSilver by [[Cynthia]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* Giratina's Origin Forme roar in the movie is the same as {{wp|Mothra}}'s cry from the {{wp|Godzilla}} series.
* It is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught in all five of the Generation IV main series handheld games.
* As of Generation IV its 150 HP and 120 Defense make it the Pokemon with the highest physical endurance.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger.

It may also have originated from the daikaiju Destoryah. Destoroyah has spikes all over its body, large bat wings and mouth with both mandibles and jaws. This seems very similar to the Giratina's Altered Forme. Destoryah also has a flying form where it is more serpent like in appearance, this seems to be similar to the Origin Forme.

The legends associated with it are similar to those of {{wp|Izanami}}, former wife of the kami {{wp|Izanagi}}. When she died of severe burns from giving birth to a fire god, she went to the underworld, from which Izanagi tried, but failed, to retrieve her, as she had already accepted her fate.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ "giratina") and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander). The name could also be derived from the Spanish "girar," meaning "to turn."

'''Magikarp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイキング''' ''Koiking'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gyarados}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magikarp is a reddish-orange, medium-sized fish. Its notable characteristics include large, heavy scales. Its fins are primarily white, but it has two stiff, three-peaked fins on its back and stomach which are both yellow. It also has long yellow {{wp|barbel (anatomy)|barbels}}.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels and a male has tan ones. The male also has a slightly bigger light band on its forehead compared to the female, suggesting it is slightly larger.

====Special abilities====
Long-lived Magikarp are able to utilize their immense {{m|splash}}ing power to leap high enough to jump mountains. Magikarp also have a strong enough immune system to survive in the most polluted of waters.

===Behavior===
Although this Pokémon is capable of surviving in even the most polluted ponds, it is usually overlooked by trainers because it is pathetically weak: even in the heat of battle it will do nothing but flop around. It is not a strong swimmer, and currents in the water will sweep it downstream. They are normally seen using {{m|Splash}}, which is unusual, as it makes them easy targets to predators. Before the species multiplied, it is believed that the ancestors of Magikarp were actually much stronger than the Magikarp seen today, and this belief has led scientists to research this species.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Magikarp is found in many bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. However, due to its weak swimming ability it usually lives downstream of the water's flow. Magikarp are extremely plentiful, living in almost any region. No one really knows how this Pokémon survived, however.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giant Magikarp.png|thumb|right|210px|A giant Magikarp in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Several episodes, the first one being in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', involve a particular [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] trying to sell certain Pokémon to someone. The person he is usually trying to con is [[James]] and he usually sells {{TP|Magikarp salesman|Magikarp}}, claiming that they're very valuable.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a [[Nurse Joy]] from the Orange Islands befriended a giant Magikarp that saved her as a child. It evolved into an equally large Gyarados, but it remained friendly.

In ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} help a Pokémon Watcher named [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker]] observe the migration and evolution of a school of Magikarp.

Another, in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution]]'', was nicknamed the strongest. This male Magikarp was unique in that it was in fact able to battle surprisingly well, even giving Pikachu a hard time.

===Minor appearances===
Magikarp are very often seen in any underwater scene. This is most likely a reference to their extreme abundance in the games.

[[Team Rocket]] used a Magikarp-shaped submarine during the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

Several Magikarp appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' swimming along with [[Team Rocket]]'s Magikarp-shaped submarine.

{{AP|Totodile}} juggled three Magikarp with its Water Gun in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''

In ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]'', a {{shiny}} Magikarp appeared in a flashback under the ownership of {{ho|Jimmy}} and was later traded.

A Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', Jessie used a different Magikarp which was comfirmed to be male in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

It was also seen as part of [[Lila]]'s famous "Tiger Lily Smile" background in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

Another Magikarp also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

A group of Magikarp appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]''.

==Trivia==
* As of {{game|Platinum}}, Magikarp is tied at the lowest (with {{p|Regigigas}}), and ironically, the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture at level 1 and 100, beating out even the level 80 {{p|Arceus}} for highest. It is only available in a pond in the [[Resort Area]] with a [[Super Rod]] in Platinum, where only Magikarp can be caught and range in levels anywhere from level 1 to 100.
* Magikarp, as well as Gyarados, has been in all four regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Even though Magikarp is said to be the weakest Pokémon in existence, there are seven Pokémon weaker than it and one equal to it in terms of [[List of Pokémon by base stats|base stat average]].
* Magikarp is one of three {{type2|Water}}s that cannot learn {{m|Surf}} (the others being {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Wingull}}), as well as the only Water-type that cannot learn any Ice-type or Water-type [[move]]s.
* Magikarp is one of fourteen Pokémon that one could collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Magikarp shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Feebas}}. They are both known as the Fish Pokémon.
* Even though it's listed as a freshwater Pokémon, Magikarp are found in oceans as well.
* Magikarp takes the shortest time to hatch out of all Pokémon.
* Every one of Magikarp's Pokédex entries talks about either its lack of strength, its tendency to {{m|Splash}}, or both.
* Magikarp's FireRed Pokédex entry remarks on its lack of power and speed. While the power part is true, Magikarp in fact sports a base 80 speed stat, making it quite fast.
* The Pokédex entries for Magikarp in Gold and HeartGold versions and Platinum version contradict each other; Gold and HeartGold versions says that Magikarp never jumps more than seven feet, whereas Platinum version states that it may jump over a mountain. However, the Platinum entry specifies using {{m|Splash}}, while HeartGold is referring to it jumping without aid.
* Magikarp is the only Pokémon that can learn attacking moves but can't get [[STAB]] on any of them.
* Together with {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Seedot}}, Magikarp is the easiest Pokémon to catch in [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]], with only one loop necessary.
* Even though Magikarp can't learn {{m|Bubble}}, it still uses it in [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
* Magikarp is one of the most common Pokémon in the game, found everywhere it is possible to fish.
* Platinum is the only game where Magikarp's sprite features its mouth closed.
* Diamond´s Pokedex entry questions how Magikarp could have survived, while Sapphire´s entry answers it.
** Sapphires Pokedex entry also my explain why Magikarp is so common, and why some water areas only include Magikarps.

===Origin===
Magikarp is based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles. This may have inspired an element in Pokémon Snap, where after certain steps are taken, a Magikarp will splash its way into a waterfall where it evolves.

Magikarp may also be based on Asian carps, which are easily frightened by disturbances in water and can jump 8-10 feet in the air.
====Name origin====
Magikarp's name is a combination of ''magic'' and ''{{wp|carp}}'' (this may be mocking the Magikarp as a species, as someone with 'magic' powers is generally thought to be quite powerful, which Magikarp is not). It may also the combination of ''Magi'', the three kings from the story of the {{wp|Nativity of Jesus|Nativity}}, and ''carp''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鯉 ''{{wp|koi}}'', carp, and the English word ''king'', giving its name an ironic slant similar to its English name.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon, and formerly, in [[Generation I]], a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when leveled up in [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. There are several ways that the three Magnemite, that Magneton consists of, can be linked. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked via body on the bottom, forming a triangle. However, in some cases, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, but still remain in a triangular pattern. In the anime, the size of Magneton's magnets change in different episodes. This doesn't seem to be based on anything except possibly an oversight by the animators. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, its {{p|Magnemite|pre-evolution}} and its {{p|Magnezone|evolution}} are all mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, can get hungry, and have a way of reproducing. Magneton has been considered to be related to {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Bronzong}} since both are also half Steel-type Pokémon that float by using electromagnetic waves.

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

====Special abilities====
Magneton can emit strange radio waves that can greatly damage various electronic equipment, raise air temperatures by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within a 3,300-foot radius and cause earaches to anyone that gets too close to it. Magneton mostly learns attacks that Magnemite is capable of learning. However, unlike Magnemite, Magneton can learn {{m|Tri Attack}}. Even though Magneton is not yet fully evolved, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. On [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|very rare occasions]], Magneton can know {{m|Refresh}}.

===Behavior===
Magneton behave similarly to their pre-evolution, Magnemite, in that they generally do not bother people and keep to themselves unless provoked. If they are provoked however, they will resort to non-damaging moves, but, will not hesitate to use more powerful moves if not left alone. Unlike most other evolved Pokémon, in battle, Magneton are very easy to command and rarely lose focus.

When sunspots flare up, Magneton tend to appear more often in the open, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Magneton usually live around power plants and rough terrain where large deposits of metal can be found, but they're harder to find than Magnemite. They're found in [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Magneton feed off electrical charges.

==In the anime==
[[File:EP268Shinymagneton.jpg|thumb|right|Magneton in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Magneton first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. They, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, saved {{Ash}} and company from a {{p|Grimer}} attack.

A Magnemite that belonged to {{an|Ethan}} in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Team Rocket]].

Several Magneton attacked the Pokémon Center in ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]''.

[[Vincent|Jackson]] used a {{shiny}} Magneton against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''.

An army of {{p|Magnemite}} and Magneton appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' under the ownership of the main villain, [[Zero]].

===Minor appearances===
A group of Magnemite and a Magneton appeared as security guards in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''. Ash was attacked by the Magnemite, but when Ash retaliated with [[Ash's Bayleef|his Chikorita]], a Magneton showed up and attacked.

A Magneton is shown in ''[[The Rivals]]'' and ''{{OBP|Pokémon World|song}}''.

[[Wattson]] used a Magneton in his brief Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''.

In ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', Magneton was one of the {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in [[Steel Valley]] picking on a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.

A group of Magneton appeared in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' among the numerous other Steel-types on [[Iron Island]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Magneton makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. However, it debuts in the next round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', when some of them torture Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge has a quad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|3]], [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|10]], and [[Pokémon Adventures volume 12|12]].

==Trivia==
* The original English name for Magneton was planned to be "Recoil."
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no evidence of this in the anime. In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{an|Ethan}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of getting together with two real Magnemite. This is similar to the games.
** However, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Magneton ''is'' created by three Magnemite.
** Also, when two Magnemite first get stuck together in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite are supposed to come together to evolve.
* Magneton is supposedly composed of three Magnemite; however, after evolution, it becomes 10 times heavier. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs, while Magneton weighs 132.0 lbs.
* Magneton's sprites in the handheld games show the three Magnemite that make it up as being connected together; however, in the console games, they are shown as three separate Magnemite floating in a triangular formation with each other, only touching when they attack.
* Despite Magnemite and Magneton's various Pokédex entries saying they can cause damage to any electronic devices in their vicinity, in all of their appearances in the anime, they have not disrupted any electronic devices. In fact, the opposite happens in the episodes in which this evolution family has been the focus, and they actually ''save'' towns.
* Magneton and its evolution {{p|Magnezone}} have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magneton and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon ever (as no other type combination has the same or higher amount of resistancies and/or immunities, regarding abilities). With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magneton can be found [[underleveled]] at level 26 in [[New Mauville]]; this also allows for {{p|Magnezone}} as low as level 27 if one is sent through Pal Park. They are found even ''further'' underleveled in [[Johto Safari Zone|Johto's Safari Zone]], at level 17, giving players the ability to legitimately have a level 18 Magnezone.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}} are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magneton's Generation II shiny sprite shows the ends of the magnets being colored, unlike later generations' sprites.
* Magneton is one of the three Pokémon to evolve via leveling up in certain locations, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Nosepass}}.
** Of these, Magneton and Nosepass evolve when leveled up in [[Mt. Coronet]].
** Magneton is the only one of the three who has already evolved.
* Magneton and its evolutionary chain are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Zap Cannon}} naturally.
* Both Magneton and {{p|Dugtrio}} are the only pokemon to be made from a trio of their pre-evolved forms.
** {{p|Doduo}} earns a third head upon evolution, but aren't Doduo heads, meaning it doesn't follow this pattern.
** {{p|Metang}} is a fusion of two {{p|Beldum}}, not three. {{p|Metagross}} is a link of two Metang, but again, not three.
* With the exception of the way the eye of the upper Magnemite is looking, The Platinum sprite is a mirror of the Diamond/Pearl sprite
===Generation II type change===
Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type in Generation I, but became dual type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first, and currently only Pokémon to gain an extra type. One could argue that this was purely because the Steel type had not been officially recognized by Pokémon researchers in Generation I; however, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} they are Electric/Steel-type. Due to this type change, Magneton is the second Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order (after Magnemite), but it was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until [[Generation III]] (and even then, it could only learn {{m|Metal Sound}}).

===Origin===
Magneton appears to be based on the concept of a living magnet. It's body looks like a cluster of three {{p|Magnemite}}, comparable to how {{p|Dugtrio}} appears as a cluster of three {{p|Diglett}}.

====Name origin====
Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. The ''rare'' in ''Rarecoil'' may be a reference to the fact that some {{wp|rare earth elements}} have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Magneton
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Magneton
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 레어코일 ''Reeokoil'' - Literally ''Rare Coil'', based on its Japanese name.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 三合一磁怪 ''Sān Hé Yī Cí Guài'' - Literally "3-in-1 magnetic monster".
