(Japanese: '''ナエトル、ハヤシガメ…そしてドダイトス！''' ''{{tt|Naetle|Turtwig}}, {{tt|Hayashigame|Grotle}}...and {{tt|Dodaitose!|Torterra}}'') is the 100th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 566th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on October 30, 2008.

Continuing on the road to Hearthome City, the gang run into Paul. Eager to finally defeat him, Ash challenges Paul to a battle, during which Ash's Turtwig evolves into Grotle. However, its larger form dramatically reduces its speed, and Grotle soon loses its confidence. Will an unexpected source help deal with the problem?

Talk:Evolution

JirachiWishmaker0802: /* About the comment at the page bottom */ new section

Ummmm.... The bit about Eevees at the end is plain wrong. Things don't evolve due to their environment. It is merely that the creatures that have a favourable variation survive to produce offspring and pass on their genes, and so more things have the variation than don't. This is like junior high-level knowledge. [[User:DanJimi|DanJimi]] 10:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

at the list of non-evolving pokemon, you see the last pkmn is aerodactyl but next to it is a picture of an kabutops

== Phione ==

I put Phione on the list of non evolving non legendaries, and it keeps getting removed. WHY???? It's not as though Phione is legendary. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 02:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

:Because in some people's minds, it is legendary. :/ [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 02:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

But it's not confirmed to be legendary. And IMO, the fact that one can recruit multiple Phione in MD2 PROVES conclusively that Phione is not a legendary (In the MD games, legendaries are strictly limited to one per game). --

If it isn't a legendary, why is it banned from the battle tower? It's definitely not because of it's battle prowess. No. It's because it's normally unavailable in normal play. You still need access to Manaphy to get them.

It's no legendary, but it's still an event Pokémon in a sense. - PDL
:The only Pokémon banned from the Battle Tower are legendary. Phione is legendary, albeit the crappiest of them. Plus, Missingno Master, you might wanna do something OTHER than just adding Phione in there, such as, oh, changing the count to 43 and making it so the table isn't f'd up.
:Plus, here's the thing: how much of a chance does Phione have of getting evolutionary relatives? ZERO! It has Manaphy. The other 42 have at least a chance of that.
:Jeez, I understand being the devil's advocate, but Phione just isn't worth it. It sucks in battle, sure, but so do many other legendaries. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 08:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
::Devil's advocate? I wasn't suggesting that Phione should be listed >_>. However, I suppose I wasn't making myself clear enough. - PDL
:::No, the Pokémon banned from the Battle Tower are in the Uber tier. Note that Cresselia isn't banned, it's in the OU tier as well. Is it legendary? Hell yeah. (Yet it can compete in Uber if it really wants to..) [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 23:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
::::See, that's where fan definitions suck. Everything banned from the BT is legendary, the only exceptions to this are the normal legendary trios of each region (meaning, of course, that GKR and DPG aren't ''normal'' trios. They're mascot trios, though Giratina's not a mascot... but hey, it's a better name than other stuff), the Lati duo, Cressy, and Heatran.

Ahem. Phione is now officially not a legendary. [http://www.pokemon.com/#mailbag_02042008 1] I take it this means I was justified in putting it back in the non-evolving non-legendary box thingy? --

:Even if we assume that Phione is not legendary, which is unsubtantiated unless claimed or alluded to by the designers (that is, not any low-rank employee of an ''affiliated'' company), it still has no place on the list. The reason for this is that the list shows all Pokémon with ''some'' chance to evolve in later installments of the game. It has been observed, and in fact referenced in the Diamond and Pearl games, that legendaries need not evolve because they have reached their maximum potential as-is; therefore, there is no chance for any of the legendaries to evolve.

:It so happens that regardless of whether Phione is classified as legendary or not, there is no reason to believe that it will ever evolve. If it were to evolve, it would evolve into Manaphy, as any other scenario would be cumbersome (a legendary spawning a species not from its own family). However, the reason behind the fact that Phione does not evolve into Manaphy, which is that Manaphy is unique, will continue to hold beyond the current generation. -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 14:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:Missingno. Master, you do realize that link confirms that Phione ''is'' a Legendary, right? [[User:Gligar|Gligar]] 15:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::This conversation is from six months ago. Pokémon.com did list Phione as a non-legendary for a time, then changed it to a legendary status. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 15:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

==Anime Evolution==
In regards to the relation between the evolution in the anime than in the games. Wouldn't The anime be more reasonably sound than the games. Because I doubt that if Pokemon were real that most of these evolutions would occur exactly as in the games. The way I see it, the only reason why a certain Pokemon evolves the way it does in the game (with the exception of evolutionary stones and such) is to make it difficult for the player and it would be easier for a Pokemon Game developer if they limited it to one specific set of circumstances.

Granted there are a few exceptions: Such as evolutionary stones, and specific locations for a Pokemon to evolve, and perhaps it knowing a certain move. Though with Evolutionary stones, in an episode it said that the wind was able to carry evolutionary stones, so couldn't certain Pokemon evolve that way when it appears it just evolves naturally or mysteriously?

As for leveling up and trading, those just seem to make it more difficult for a trainer of the games to obtain Pokemon, that could easily be gotten by easier methods. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 13:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

== new to community, first post ==

I'd like to add my finding in, I thought evolution however I'm not really sure how to add it in, and where it would go. I was trying to figure out if a pokémon whose evolution has been delayed would be as strong as the same pokémon of the same level and a "natural" evolution so what I did is I took a Pidgey and used rare candies to evolve it to 25 not allowing it to evolve until 27 the stats were as follows
71HP
39ATK
38DFNS
32SPATK
35SPDFNS
42Spd
I then reset the game
and gave the same pidgey rare candies this time allowing it the "natural" evolution at level 18 when it got to level 25 the stats were as follows
71HP
39ATK
38DFNS
32SPATK
35SPDFNS
42Spd

so we can infer that the level the pokémon evolves at does not affect the stats. If anyone wants to suggest a heading to put this in, or even shorten it up, by all means

== About the comment at the page bottom ==

EVOLUTION IS NOT ABOUT CELL STRUCTURE. Eevee's evolution isn't akin AT ALL to real evolution. Evolution is triggered by Natural Selection, therefore, a single species cannot evolve. Only a population can. Just thought to make a side note. [[User:JirachiWishmaker0802|JirachiWishmaker0802]] 09:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

JirachiWishmaker0802:

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --[[User:Boywonder01|'''Boy''']][[User talk:Boywonder01|'''wonder''']][[Special:Contributions/Boywonder01|'''01''']] 13:47, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Team Rocket's mechas

2008-10-18T06:01:42Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

{{incomplete}}
'''Team Rocket's Mechas''' usually refers to mechas used by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in one of their wild schemes. Throughout the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Team Rocket]] has had many robots and machines. It is unknown how they get them, since they usually have little money. Most of the time, the robots fail and get destroyed, some even before getting a chance to be used. They first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' with the debut of Team Rocket's Balloon.

====Support (7)====
*I'll go with it. Pikachu's page is at least as good as Ash and the Pikachu to English translations are especially convincing. Only objection is that the main article fizzles a bit towards the end. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 16:37, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
*Hmm... I guess he's right. I certainly like this one better than most other FACs. The only improvements I could suggest are to cut down on trivia by incorporating them into the main article (perhaps we could create a "gender debate" section to help with this?). (EDIT: as of 7/25/08 at 8:00 AST, {{u|Aura-Knight}} has made the changes I suggested, so now I'm more fully behind this.) --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 23:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

*Yes.[[User:Shadow1337|Shadow1337]] 23:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
*I'd like to add my support for it getting Featured Article status. It's well written, informative, and as [[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]] pointed out, the section on Pikachu's "language" is a great addition. --[[User:Mikekearn|Mike]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mikekearn|Contrib]] 08:02, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

====Other comments====
In response to your comment Moldy Orange, most of those other articles are already nominated. Pikachu is probably the best anime Pokémon page. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 13:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
:A lot of people will ignore this because it's a main character page, but unlike {{Ash}}, I believe this one actually has merit. The "language" section especially shows a great deal of research, and not the level you'd expect from some fangirl. I just want to make clear that we're not necessarily supporting this because "i <3 pikachu", although some of us might, but because we think it's a well-thought out article. I mean, come on, guys; I ''hate'' the anime and everything associated with it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 18:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Appendix:Metagame terminology

2008-10-16T09:17:55Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}
==Terms==
===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]].

===Atmacune===
A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{M|Curse}}, {{M|Rest}}, {{M|Return}} and {{M|Roar}}. No longer viable now that {{m|Curse}} is no longer a TM.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats for a few turns, then pass off to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or {{m|Substitute}} too.

===Baton Passing Chain (Passchain)===
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself.

===Bellyzard===
A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}/{{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. Held item is a {{b|Salac}}. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the {{b|Salac}}. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical Fire attack. However using Flare Blitz with this technique is sure to result in the user fainting.

===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Borderline|BL]]===
Borderline. The tier that holds Pokémon that are considered too underpowered for OU, but too powerful for UU, like for instance, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, or {{p|Ludicolo}}.

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of Electric and Ice moves, such as Thunderbolt and HP Ice.

===Bomber===
Any Pokémon that knows {{m|Selfdestruct}} and/or {{m|Explosion}}. The aim is to knock out the opponent's Pokémon within one turn, also causing the Bomber to faint in the process.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===ChainChomp===
{{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed Sweeper with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard physical wall by taking advantage of most physical walls lacking a good Special Defense stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with nothing but physical attacks and the hold item [[In-battle_effect_item#Choice Band|Choice Band]]. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

===Cleric===
A moveset with {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}} on it.

===Counter===
See also the move {{m|Counter}}. A moveset built with the defeat of another in mind. For example, a '''Skarmbliss''' counter would have an effective means of dealing with both {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}}, usually a Fire/Electric attack for Skarmory and a powerful Fighting-type move such as {{m|Close Combat}} or {{m|Focus Punch}} for Blissey. TyraniBoah and MixApe are examples of specific counters.

===Curselax===
A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't Ghosts).

===Decoy===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is also often used to have time to use an item on a stronger Pokémon without risking its life. A Decoy is also used to "switch" to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

===Double Rester===
A combination of {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Rest}} quite common back in the [[Generation II]] days. In Standard Rules, Evasion Clause forbids use of {{m|Double Team}} so this strategy is rarely seen.

===Dragon Dancer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Dragonite}}.

===Endureberry===
Any Pokémon that is made to {{m|Endure}} to one HP and receive a boost from the berry its low health activates. Berries this works with include {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Micle}}, and {{b|Custap}}. Often combined with the below set and partnered with a Bomber in doubles, but not always. Also known by '''Endure(berry's name)'''.

===Endureversal/flail===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage. The item held is often a {{b|Salac}}, a {{b|Liechi}}, or a {{b|Petaya}}, tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of moves like {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Minimize}}, {{m|Sand Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, {{m|Acupressure}}, which may decrease accuracy or increase evasion, is forbidden.

===[[F.E.A.R.]]===
A last resort strategy involving a low-level {{p|Rattata}} holding a [[Focus Sash]] with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It involves catching the foe off-guard when he/she sees the low-level Rattata and will presumably attack the Rattata. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent.

===Fishy===
A moveset with two One-Hit-Knockout moves, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, and {{m|Rest}}. Its name is a derivative of "{{m|Fissure}}".

===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a flinch move such as {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Extrasensory}}. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, preventing the foe from getting an attack in edgewise. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor, because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]].

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats but appalling defensive and speed stats (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}).

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Critical Hits are hax. {{m|Horn Drill}} is a hax move. Items such as [[Focus Band]], [[BrightPowder]], and [[Scope Lens]] are hax items.

===Hazer===
A moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Like the '''Spiker''', it can have any combination of moves besides Haze on it. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} make good hazers.

===HP===
Usually used as an abbreviation for "Hit Points", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the Water type.

===McIceGar===
A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]]. {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Thunderpunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. Usually holds Life Orb and has a 126 / 126 or similar split EV spread for ATK and SpA.

===NFE===
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some exceptions, namely:
*[[Light Ball]] {{p|Pikachu}}

*{{p|Vigoroth}}
*{{a|Arena Trap}} {{p|Trapinch}}
*[[Deepseatooth]] {{p|Clamperl}}

===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Never-Used|NU]]===
Never-used. Refers to Pokémon with very low stats and small movepools that prevent them from being used in the common metagame, such as {{p|Ariados}} and {{p|Unown}}.

===OHKO moves===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when it hits. Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}.
In Standard Rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Over-Used|OU]]===
Over-used. Refers to commonly used Pokémon in the metagame that are inherently powerful such as {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Blissey}}.

===Pinch Berry===
Any one of the following===
[[Liechi Berry|Liechi]], [[Ganlon Berry|Ganlon]], [[Salac Berry|Salac]], [[Petaya Berry|Petaya]], [[Apicot Berry|Apicot]], [[Lansat Berry|Lansat]], and [[Starf Berry|Starf]]. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name).

===Pseudo Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, and/or {{m|Reflect}} on it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

===Pseudo Hazer (Phazer)===
A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A '''Shuffler''' can also be a Phazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a Phazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

===[[Pseudo-legendary]]===
Any of the following: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Garchomp}}. It is a term used to refer to Pokémon with astounding [[stats]], most notably Attack, and incredibly diverse movepools.

===PowerChoiceJetter===
An {{p|Azumarill}} that has the [[ability]] {{a|Huge Power}}, is holding the item Choice Band, and knows {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

===Seeker===
Any Pokémon with a moveset that has at least one attack that never misses, such as {{m|Faint Attack}}. Other Seeker moves are {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Vital Throw}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Shock Wave}}. These attacks are countered by {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}. This can also refer to a Pokémon that uses {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} on an opponent that uses {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or {{m|Dive}}, which ensures that the next attack hits the opponent, despite using any of the four moves.

===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===
A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then Phazing and repeating. Often used in tandem with a Spiker for best results. Countered by a '''Cleric''', or simply by attacking each time they try to Phaze.

===Skarmbliss===
A stall team with both {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} on it, designed to abuse the high defense of Skarmory and the high special defense of Blissey.

===Sleep clause===
The use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted.

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. Used to maintain a Pokémon (usually with good defenses) healthy with Rest and using Sleep Talk in the meantime to attack. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
The use of more than one of the same Pokémon or Pokémon in the same evolution chain is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team is not.

===Specs-Mence===
A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or [[Wise Glasses]] in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

===Spiker===
A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that's the only requirement, there are many variations to spiker movesets. Good ones utilize {{m|Roar}}/{{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

===Sponge===
Not really a moveset but a Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (i.e. Special Sponge). Synonymous with '''Wall'''.

===STAB===
[[Same-type attack bonus]]. Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types;
E.g.: A Garchomp gets STAB for Dragon-type as well as Ground-type attacks.

===Staller===
Much like the '''Tank''', this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as Poison, Burn, Leech Seed or weather conditions) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}}, or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a '''Cleric''', the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep, Evasion and Species Clauses.

===Stealth Rocker===
A Pokémon that uses {{m|Stealth Rock}}, similar to a '''Spiker'''.

===Subpuncher===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch.

===Sunnybeamer===
A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}} or {{m|Moonlight}}.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Thunderdancer===
A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a quick knockout. Certain abilities ({{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}) trap automatically.

===Trickbander===
A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item [[In-battle effect item#Choice Band|Choice Band]] to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a Tank, Annoyer or Special Sweeper). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In Generation IV, with the introduction of Choice Specs and Choice Scarf, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.

===Trickbracer===
Similar to the '''Trickbander''', a Trickbracer gives the opponent the [[In-battle effect item#Macho Brace|Macho Brace]] instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most Sweepers in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In Generation IV, the [[Iron Ball]] and [[Lagging Tail]] hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way.

===TyraniBoah===
A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.

===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Uber|Uber]]===
A Pokémon (usually [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]]) in the Uber tier, often characterised by very high stats and usually a large and diverse movepool. Current Ubers are:
:*{{p|Mewtwo}}
:*{{p|Mew}}
:*{{p|Lugia}}
:*{{p|Ho-Oh}}
:*{{p|Wobbuffet}}
:*{{p|Latias}}
:*{{p|Latios}}
:*{{p|Kyogre}}
:*{{p|Groudon}}
:*{{p|Rayquaza}}
:*{{p|Deoxys}} (All formes, except Speed)
:*{{p|Garchomp}}
:*{{p|Dialga}}
:*{{p|Palkia}}
:*{{p|Giratina}}
:*{{p|Manaphy}}
:*{{p|Darkrai}}
:*{{p|Arceus}}


The Uber tier exists as a banlist for Standard Wi-Fi Battles. The Pokemon in the Uber tier are deemed too overpowered to be used fairly among other Pokemon. While most Pokémon in the Uber tier are there for their stats, Wobbuffet is included primarily because of its Shadow Tag ability. Since the principle behind countering a Pokémon in battle is to switch out to a Pokémon that is better able to cope with the opponent's strengths, and Shadow Tag works like Mean Look to trap a Pokémon in battle, Wobbuffet can be thought of as "uncounterable." In addition, its ability to learn Encore means that the use of Wobbuffet requires no prediction skills===the Wobbuffet user must only Encore an offensive move and then use either Counter or Mirror Coat (depending on the move's type) to induce damage on the opponent.

Garchomp was a recent addition to the Uber tier list.

===[[Appendix:List of tiers#Under-Used|UU]]===
Under-used. Seldom-seen Pokémon with weaker stat totals or movepools than the metagame norm. Examples of UUs include {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Manectric}}

===Wall===
Not really a moveset, but a Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind
(i.e. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability Wonder Guard. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}} and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon

2008-10-16T09:11:08Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

'''Pseudo-legendary''' is a term used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolve|evolution]] line, two [[Elemental types|type]]s, as well as a [[base stats|base stat total]] of 600. Pseudo-legendaries are more powerful than almost every other non-legendary Pokémon, if only for their base stats, and in particular, have an outstanding [[Stat#Attack|Attack stat]]. They also have incredibly diverse movepools and can usually be found only in their first form. Due to this, raising them is difficult since they require a lot of [[experience]] to [[Level Up|level up]]. Since the pseudo-legendaries are very powerful, they are commonly used by many trainers in their teams.
==List of pseudo-legendaries==
There are five Pokémon considered to be pseudo-legendaries. The following shows the pseudo-legendaries, their types, and the Pokémon they evolve from.

|}

==Trivia==
*In both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|Johto Dex]], the evolutionary lines of {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} are located between the [[Legendary trio]] and [[List of tiers#Uber|Ubers]] of their respective generation (they are located next to each other in the Johto Dex). Similarly yet differently, the {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Metagross}} lines are located next to each other right ''before'' the [[Legendary golems]], again both in the National Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]]. In contrast, the {{p|Garchomp}} line is detached from the [[Sinnoh]] legendaries, whether in the National Pokédex or [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]].
*These Pokémon are used in-game almost exclusively by final members of the [[Elite Four]] and [[Champion]]s. {{p|Dragonite}} is used by [[Lance]], the final Elite Four member in [[Generation I]] and {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; it is used again by Lance as the Champion in [[Generation II]]. {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion, but only in the second round of the Elite Four in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Salamence}} is used by {{EF|Drake}}, the final Elite Four member in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Steven Stone]], the Champion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and ex-Champion in Pokémon Emerald. Lastly, {{p|Garchomp}} is used by [[Cynthia]], the Champion in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond and Pearl]].
**There are two minor exceptions to the above rule: In the post-Elite Four stage of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a male trainer on [[Route 229]] can be found using Salamence, and a female trainer can be found with Metagross on [[Route 224]]. This was done to serve as a cameo appearance of the movie characters [[Butler]] and {{mov|Rebecca}}, who used these pseudo-legendaries in their respective [[Pokémon movie|movies]].
*In [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s story mode, [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Metagross}} is used by [[Nascour]] and Shadow {{p|Tyranitar}} is used by [[Evice]]; it is notable that the two [[Cipher]] leaders have positions comparable to those of the final [[Elite Four]] member and [[Champion]], respectively. [[Pokémon XD]] complemented the list of pseudo-legendaries as of [[Generation III]] by featuring Shadow {{p|Salamence}} (used by [[Eldes]]) and Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} (used by [[Miror B.]]). Another thing is that all four pseudo-legendaries have {{m|Shadow Rush}} as one of their Shadow Moves.
*While most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form, {{p|Dragonair}} is also obtainable in the wild in most games where {{p|Dratini}} is (all but [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]] and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]]). Likewise, {{p|Pupitar}} is available in the wild in {{g|Crystal}}.
*With the exception of {{p|Metagross}}, the pseudo-legendaries have a double weakness to one type: In the case of {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Garchomp}} the double weakness is to {{type2|Ice}} moves, whereas in {{p|Tyranitar}}'s case, it is to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
*All of the pseudo-legendaries have an immunity to one type, for {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Salamence}} it is {{type2|Ground}}, for {{p|Tyranitar}} it is {{type2|Psychic}}, for {{p|Metagross}} it is {{type2|Poison}}, and for {{p|Garchomp}} it is {{type2|Electric}}.
*Since [[Generation III]], it is incorrect to think of pseudo-legendaries as having the maximum total base stats attainable by non-legendary Pokémon. This is due to the introduction of {{p|Slaking}}, whose total base stats of 670 matches that of the legendary {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Regigigas}}. However, Slaking's {{a|Truant}} ability tones its effectiveness down to the degree of being perceived as ''weaker'' than the pseudo-legendaries (incidentally, this is also true of Regigigas). It is also for this reason that Slaking is used by the [[Gym Leader]] [[Norman]].
*Metagross and Tyranitar are the only pseudo-legendaries that aren't a {{type2|Dragon}}, and Metagross is the only one that isn't {{p2|Tyranitar|dragon-like}}.
*The Generation III pseudo-legendaries are the only ones which are not bipedal.
*All pseudo-legendaries introduced after Generation II have blue as a dominant [[List of Pokémon by color|color]].
*Currently, all of the pseudo-legendaries' highest base stat is the attack stat.
*All pseudo-legendaries (except {{p|Garchomp}}, which is placed in the Uber tier) are placed in the Overused tier.

Seymour

2008-10-16T07:20:32Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

[[Image:Seymour.jpg|thumb|Seymour the Scientist]]
'''Seymour''' (Japanese: '''リカオ''' ''Rikao'') is a scientist who lives on [[Mt. Moon]] with the various {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}.

Seymour appeared as a [[character of the day]] in the episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. His Japanese voice actor is ''Tetsuya Iwanaga'' and his English voice actor is [[Maddie Blaustein]].

In ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', {{Ash}} and his friends saw Seymour getting attacked by a group of {{p|Zubat}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} saved Seymour by scaring off the Zubat, and he was thankful for the group for saving "his life". Seymour explained to Ash and his friends that he was at Mt. Moon investigating why the Pokémon there were behaving strangely, because they were weak and sick. After discovering it was a [[Team Rocket]] scheme, they were sent away, and the group began to follow a Clefairy.

Seymour revealed his theory that the Clefairy came from space in a shuttle created from a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. After witnessing several Clefairy evolve into Clefable with fragments from a giant Moon Stone, Seymour decided to live at Mt. Moon with the Clefairy.

In the Japanese version, Seymour is from [[Pewter City]] and works for the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. Instead of reciting poetry, he is enchanted by the romantic aspects of the moon. His name is a play on rika, which means science.

'''Winona's Swellow''' (Japanese: '''ナギのオオスバメ''' ''Nagi's Ohsubame'') is [[Winona]]'s main Pokémon in the anime and a {{shiny2}} Pokémon. It is voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in English and ''[[Kōichi Sakaguchi]]'' in Japanese.

Swellow made its appearance in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]'', where Winona used it in the battle against {{Ash}}. It was shown to be a powerful battler.

With powerful attacks like {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it defeated [[Ash's Grovyle]] easily and almost beat [[Ash's Swellow]]. But with a little quick thinking on Ash's part, his Swellow was victorious winning Ash the {{badge|Feather}}.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Peck}}
* {{m|Aerial Ace}}
* {{m|Wing Attack}}
* {{m|Hyper Beam}}

==Trivia==
*It is the fifth {{shiny2}} Pokémon to appear in the anime, the others being [[Ash's Noctowl]], a wild {{p|Shuckle}}, the [[Red Gyarados]] and [[Vincent]]'s {{p|Magneton}}.
*To date, it is also the only shiny Pokémon owned by a Gym Leader.

== Appropriate Edits ==

Quick note, at the top of the page it still says 6 tiers when there's only 4. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 09:40, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have a lot of experience Competitive Battling, in both OU and UU environments. Please take my suggestions into consideration. I am most concerned with the difference between certain Pokémon as UU or higher.

Tentacruel needs to move up, out of UU. It is too good for UU, a powerful Special wall with a nice SPD and SpA stat to back it up. It's very difficult for a UU to KO Tentacruel with Special, much like it's near impossible for an OU to KO a Blissey with Special. However a Blissey-like Pokémon in UU is not desirable, the common counter for Blissey being mixed sweepers and mixed sweepers being rare and considerably weaker in UU. And the fact that it outclasses basically every other potential UU special wall warrants its promotion out of UU. Some sites put it at OU, I personally would say BL, either way I don't mind but it should not stay in UU.

I have a huge list of BLs that should be UU, so please bear with me. With all of these I am not saying they suck, if it sounds that way don't take it that way, I'm just saying how they fit into UU.

Aggron, Articuno, Bastiodon, Blastoise, Blaziken, Cloyster, Dewgong, Drifblim, Exeggutor, Golduck, Golem, Hitmontop, Hitmonchan, Kabutops, Kingler, Lanturn, Lapras, Nidoking, Ninetales, Omastar, Probopass, Walrein.

Tbh, I have no idea why half of these are in the BL list. I'll start with these - Aggron, Probopass and Bastiodon. Their unfortunate type combination makes them 4x weak to Ground and Fighting, two of the most predominant physical attacking types. Consider that many physical attackers carry either Close Combat or Earthquake, or in absence of Close Combat, Brick Break or Superpower, and any of these moves is an almost guaranteed OHKO. This hurts even more when the 3 Pokémon's stats basically only allow them to work as physical walls or physical tanks.

Lanturn, Nidoking, Omastar, Dewgong, Kingler, Golduck and Golem I hope I don't have to explain. I will make a quick note that it makes no sense for Nidoking to be BL when Nidoqueen is UU, considering Nidoqueen is widely considered better and actually gets used occasionally.

Omastar and Kabutops fall under the same category so I'll explain them next. Again, their weakness to Fighting AND Ground hurts, but it doesn't help that they're also weak to Electric which is possibly the most common special attacking type along with Ice. They have potential as Rain Dance sweepers, yes, but that's about it since they're both certainly not doing any physical walling with their only other good stat, due to the aforementioned weaknesses in the physical area.

Cloyster has huge DEF but no reliable recovery move and not enough HP to support it. It is a DEF wall, but nothing too strong for UU like Bronzong or Skarmory. And once again, it's weakness to Fighting damages its capability a bit, as well as weakness to Rock this time which is just as common a physical type and, gives 1/4 HP damage from Stealth Rock.

Walrein and Lapras both have good stats all round but don't excel in anything. Well, Walrein excels at tanking in Hail, but that requires continuous hail which is only possible in UU by Snover. Both Pokémon have a weakness to Rock, Fighting and Electric, very common attacking types on the physical and special end of the spectrum, and they take 1/4 HP from Stealth Rock. They also lacking a reliable recovery move to support their wall stats.

Being Legendary, one would immediately call me insane to put Articuno in UU. But actually look at Articuno, think about it, and you'll realise. Straight off it has a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock. Its offensive movepool is tiny - the special end conisisting entirely of Ice Beam/Blizzard, Air Cutter, Hidden Power, Signal Beam and Extrasensory (from XD). The physical end is equally pathetic if not more so, with only Aerial Ace or Ice Shard for STAB then U-Turn and Return. It's supportive capabilities are slightly more promising, with Reflect, Light Screen, Haze and Heal Bell (last two from XD). With Roost, that's seriously all it can do, or Toxistall. Not very threatening.

I'd say more but I've written enough for now. Maybe later. Please take what I've said into consideration. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 07:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

OK I've got some more to say. What on Earth is Claydol doing in OU. It can drop down to UU no problem - UUs can handle it, it's defensive but not overly so due to poor HP, and it is nowhere near good enough for OU. It lacks a reliable recovery move and has an Ice weakness. It doesn't shine as a special attacker and it doesn't have a big enough DEF & HP combined for Calm Mind without reliable recovery.

I'll write a nice big post about why Garchomp is Uber soon.

Not that it honestly matters, but Sudowoodo and Bibarel can safely move up to UU. Sudowoodo is actually quite a decent UU with some unique options, while Bibarel has access to Curse now and it can seriously become quite threatening. For example, it can get both defensive stats at 450+ after one use of Curse and one use of Amnesia, which also raises ATK to 400+. Waterfall/Return combination has never looked better when both get STAB, with only Empoleon resisting both. [[User:Mr. Black|Mr. Black]] 08:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

== Can somebody, ANYBODY update this????? ==

It's like, rotting in the garbage can... Garchomp is now uber... Articuno's UU, etc. You get my point. ---[[User:JirachiWishmaker0802|JirachiWishmaker0802]] 06:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm playing both diamond and pearl, UK version. i did this on both games, THREE flags each upgraded to SILVER. if there are differences between the different countries then i think this is significant enough to be included. would also make the page better for being featured!

'''Mount Quena''' is an anime-exclusive location in Johto. It was featured in the special [[Mewtwo Returns]]. The mountain contains a lake with water containing healing properties. Pokémon naturalists Luna Carson and Cullen Calix came to the mountain to research about the lake. In the special, {{an|Mewtwo}} and the Pokémon clones were said to have come there after the events of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]. [[Giovanni]], along with [[Domino]] and [[Team Rocket]] came here to get back Mewtwo and exploit the healing waters of the lake, sparking the events of the movie, but were later stopped by [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]]. Mewtwo later wiped Team Rocket's memories.

Zero

[[Image:Zerobubble.png|250px|thumb|Zero]]
(Japanese: '''ゼロ''' ''Zero'') is a character who appeared in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. His Japanese voice actor is 中村獅童 ''Shidō Nakamura''. He is the main antagonist who wishes to use {{an|Giratina}}'s power to travel freely between dimensions. He owns a robotic maid named [[Infi]] who controls his mothership called [[Megaliba]].

{{spoilers}}
Contrary to what trailers for the movie seemed to portray, Zero did not simply want to rule the [[Reverse World]]. He wanted to save it from all the pollution emptied into it by the Real World. He also wanted to use the Reverse World's properties to get revenge on the Real World.

He was once [[Mugen]]'s student in studying the Reverse World, but he became obsessed with Giratina's power and thus he decided to capture it.

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Pokémon]]. Being a [[Legendary Pokémon]], it is not known to [[evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of Pokémon {{v|Gold}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
It can be speculated that Ho-Oh can [[breed]] in the [[Pokémon anime]] because its unofficial polar opposite (Lugia) can.
===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with red being its dominant color. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its eye and a peacock's feather-crest.

====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it. Ho-Oh can reincarnate the dead, which it did to create {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. Ho-Oh mostly has power over {{t|Fire}}, but it can control other elements (with the exception of {{t|Water}}).

Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Tin Tower]] until the [[Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ho-Oh anime.PNG|thumb|Ho-Oh in the anime]]
{{an|Ho-Oh}} appeared at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky, which had a rainbow. The [[Pokédex]] was unable to identify it. It was also the first [[Generation II]] {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon}} ever seen.

According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. But when war broke out, burning Tin Tower and Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. Also, a sacred flame burns in [[Dragon's Den]] which came from Ho-Oh in the same ancient war that burned Tin Tower; it still burns today, protected in a shrine.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]].

In the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh was most recently seen by Ash flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG177|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Ho-Oh was used by [[Pryce]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{special|Blue}} and {{special|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Ho-Oh|4}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
*Ho-Oh is one of the three legendary Pokémon whose location changed between generations.
*Ho-Oh's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}, as is {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
*Ho-Oh's [[Generation IV]] sprite is similar to its [[Generation III]] sprite, except being bigger. It shares this trait with {{p|Steelix}}.
*Ho-Oh's cry is the same as {{p|Tyrogue}}'s only deeper pitched.
*Ho-Oh, besides {{p|Raikou}}, is the only [[Generation II]] [[Legendary Pokémon]] to not appear in its own [[movies|film]].
**However, in [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]], a [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|Mew]] did [[Transform (move)|transform]] into a Ho-Oh during the beginning of the said movie.
*Its backsprite is one of the few backsprites that has never changed its position.
*Ho-Oh is not the first Fire/Flying-type Pokémon in the National Dex; two other Pokémon ({{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Moltres}}) come first. Also, no other Fire/Flying-type Pokémon have been introduced since. It shares this sort of trait with {{p|Lugia}}.
*In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent PokeBeach interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated that Ho-Oh's appearances to Ash are to signify how special he is. Ho-Oh was merely used to further the plot and, much to the dismay of some fans, nothing more. It should be noted that this was only stated by Hidaka and no other crew members.
*Ho-Oh's name was originally spelled as "Ho-oh", but was changed to "Ho-Oh" when {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released.
===Origin===
Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from its own ashes and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.
====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''[[wp:Fenghuang|Fènghuáng]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 칠색조 ''Chilsaekjo'' - Means "Seven-colored bird."

'''Psywave''' (Japanese: '''サイコウェーブ''' ''Psychowave'') is a mostly accurate {{type2|Psychic}} move introduced in [[Generation I]] that deals a varying amount of damage.

==In the anime==
<gallery>Image:Alakazam Psywave.JPG|[[Alex Davis]]'s Alakazam using '''Psywave''' in ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''.
Image:Psywave Blow.JPG|Alakazam's '''Psywave''', charging against [[Gary's Umbreon]].
Image:Exeggutor Psywave.JPG|Exeggutor using '''Psywave''' against [[Ash's Krabby]].
</gallery>

==Effect==
Psywave causes a random amount of damage. The minimum damage it can do is 1, and the maximum damage it can do is less than 1.5 times the user's level. The game will freeze if a level 1 Pokémon uses the attack in Generation I, though this error was fixed in later generations.

Talk:May's Blaziken

2008-09-16T11:47:14Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

Combusken's voice
Darren's Combusken sounds like a male while Bill's Combusken sounds like a regular female voice

:And just how is that relevant? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

== Combusken voice ==

Well if Munchlax is the only male Pokemon that May has on her hands then Blaziken and all her othe rpokemon are female plus Bill Rogers's Combusken sounds cute

:Look, that whole "Munchlax is May's only male" bit is [[Pokéani]] fanwank. Pokéani is a fansite, we can't take their word on the gender of any anime Pokémon. And given that five of May's seven Pokémon are 87.5% male, it's pretty much a given that Munchlax can't possibly be May's only male Pokémon.

:Furthermore, voice proves nothing when it comes to gender. [[Ash's Donphan]] is believed by many to be male, yet it was voiced by females as a Phanpy. [[Madame Muchmoney's Granbull]] is a confirmed female, yet its voice in the dub as a Snubbull is that of a male. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I see that [[Darren Dunstan]]'s Combusken's more gruff and violent sounding wile [[Bill Rogers]]'s Combusken is more of a voice that makes it sound more like a chicken [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 12:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[[Bill Rogers]]'s does have a point of making [[May's Blaziken]] sound less masculine and in May's return in DP076 Blaziken's hair is much shorter than [[Harrison's Blaziken]], or even shorter than it was last time after it evolved. This seems to point to it being female

:Rogers also does make Combusken sounds less gruff and more like a chicken than Darren Dunstan.Darren made Combusken sound too gruff and violent [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 11:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

:Bill Rogers loves to take over the roles of tough Pokemon as well as some that are voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi (Blaziken,Prinplup & Corphish) and Yuji Ueda (Sceptile) as well as cute Pokemon such as Chimchar and Electrike [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 22:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

:Bill Rogers is perfect for Blaziken its tough and it has a deep voice similar to Sceptile it also sounds less gruff than Darren Dunstan's voice [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]]

:So with May's Venusaur can we agree that yes, gender differences are in the anime, yes, May's Blaziken's a girl, yes, Ash's Pikachu's a guy, and yes, that's the end of it? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

:: If only. The Blaziken thing might be left alone, but Pikachu would cause a war since some people are hellbent on believing Pikachu is female no matter what. I have a feeling that even if the writers made a worldwide television announcement that once and for all without a doubt that Pikachu is male, some of them would still believe Pikachu to be female. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 17:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

::: Don't forget, you two: Ash's Pikachu has been around a lot longer than gender differences have, as have the Pikachu species in general. If we ever ''did'' get official confirmation of Pikachu's masculinity, fair enough. But we haven't. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 11:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

==blazikens gender==
well judging by the large head feathers i believe this confirms it's male
[[User:ShinyMedicham]]
:All Blaziken prior to Gen IV looked like that... --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::Weren't they shorter in May's return? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:32, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::IDK... --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::::In my opinion the only proof of the Blaziken's gender is if somebody calls it a "he" or "she. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 07:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well unless someone says onnanoko (girl) or otokonoko (boy) or if it's a dub confirmation, it shall remain unknown.
Remember {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}: Male differences, but confirmed female. The anime does not apply gender differences consistantly. [[User:Cassius335|- Cassius335]] 10:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::why does it say blaziken is female? [[User:Happizelpom|Happizelpom]] 14:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom
:::::::I reckon it may be femael, but it's just a guess. [[User:Agent008]]

Look, until someone states what gender it is in the Anime, and i mean, actually calls it a "He" or "She", then it's uncomformed, and saying "It's female" if fannon/speculation. Leave it's gender until it's stated in the Anime. [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 20:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
:I very much agree, something made by fans doesn't confirm anything. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 20:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

==when==
was close combat used? [[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 08:41, 24 August 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom
:Probably when she came back for those few episodes? -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 11:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

well did it actually use it or is someone just putting it down randomly? [[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 03:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Happizelpom

not actually, but Brock did mention it. It's not random. But I guess I didn't confirm it either. Sorry. [[User:JirachiWishmaker0802|JirachiWishmaker0802]] 11:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

*Well, featured articles are meant to be examples for others and the TCG is lacking so it is good to find a card this in depth (compared to some others that are basically a set, release date and moves.) Also, it is the most well-known Pokémon card. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 16:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

* It's good for a card article, but aren't featured articles supposed to have more... content? I'm not saying it should be improved, I mean, if we really start featuring monthly and there's nothing better, this could work - but compared to other FA, it's... lacking content. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 09:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
* I admit TCG is underrated but there like Electabuzz said there might be a lot for a TCG but not enough for an FA. Also I think there are so many other FA's to choose and bit too much being nominated for the run up to be picked...--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

(Japanese: '''ゆれる島の戦い! ドジョッチVSナマズン!!''' ''Shaking Island Battle! {{tt|Dojoach|Barboach}} VS {{tt|Namazun|Whiscash}}!!'') was supposed to be episode 101 of Advanced Generation. It was set to air in Japan on November 4, 2004. The episode was skipped in Japan due to [[wp:2004 Chuetsu Earthquake|strong earthquakes in Niigata prefecture]] nearly a week before the airing of [[AG100]]. It was also subsequently skipped in the English-language broadcasts.

'''Metronome''' (Japanese: '''ゆびをふる''' ''Wag Finger'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} move introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Metronome randomly selects [[List of moves|one move]] other than itself and {{m|Struggle}}, and fully executes the attack. An attack called by Metronome in this way counts as the last move used.

If Metronome successfully calls {{m|Hyper Beam}} or a partial trapping move and has 0 PP before the move fully executes, its PP can roll over in the same manner as the move is called. If Metronome calls {{m|Counter}} or {{m|Mirror Coat}}, it will always fail. A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is disabled if called via Metronome.

F.E.A.R.

2008-09-14T09:27:57Z

JirachiWishmaker0802:

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a widely-known strategy used in competitive battling, often used as a last resort. A Pokémon with the ability to have the moveset below is called a '''F.E.A.R. Pokémon'''. This Pokémon is capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably L.100) while itself is only at Lv.1 or 2. The most common Pokémon used for this strategy is a {{p|Rattata}}.
F.E.A.R. generally stands for:
*Focus Sash
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*Attack ({{m|Quick Attack}})
*{{p|Rattata}}

Alternatively, it is known to stand for "'''F'''---ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of your Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP (though other situations will work, albeit possibly not as well). During your first turn, have your F.E.A.R. Pokémon use Endeavor, and your opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat your Pokémon (assuming, of course, that your opponent isn't aware of this strategy). Your Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When your Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of yours (which is now, assuming Focus Sash triggered, equal to 1). Have your F.E.A.R. Pokémon use Quick Attack the next turn to wipe out the rest of your opponent's Pokémon's HP. Obviously, this strategy works only once per battle, seeing as Focus Sash will not work twice.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is very widespread, making it next to useless, as many teams are able to counter it and players are aware of how it works and how to stop it from working. The following are six ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If your opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other three counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R.
* [[Ghost (type)|Ghost-types]]: As Ghost-types are immune to [[Normal (type)|Normal]]- and [[Fighting (type)|Fighting-type]] attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them.
* A Pokémon with {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, or other automatic, first-hit effects: If your opponent attacks you before you can use Quick Attack, your Pokémon will not endure the hit, leaving your opponent with little HP, but leaving you with one Pokémon down.
*A Pokémon with a move that damages foes upon switching out (like {{M|Spikes}} or {{M|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
*Moves, abilities, and statuses that deal damage every turn (like {{M|Sandstorm}} or [[Status ailment#Burn|Burn]]) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{P|Tyranitar}}, {{P|Hippowdon}}, or {{P|Abomasnow}} activate their abilities. (Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy are immune to Sandstorm)
*{{m|Embargo}} prevents the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash.
*F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.

==F.E.A.R.-capable Pokémon==
The F.E.A.R. strategy can be used with the following Pokémon:
*{{p|Rattata}}
*{{p|Doduo}}
*{{p|Phanpy}} (with {{m|Ice Shard}} rather than Quick Attack)
*{{p|Smeargle}} (can {{m|Sketch}} any first-strike move and Endeavor)
*{{p|Taillow}}
*{{p|Treecko}}
*{{p|Starly}}

The following Pokémon have possible moves necessary for the F.E.A.R. strategy, yet have no way of obtaining them at level 1.
*{{p|Hitmontop}} (minimum level of 20)
*{{p|Kangaskhan}} (with {{m|Sucker Punch}}; there is no possible way to breed Sucker Punch and Endeavor onto the same Kangaskhan; one must breed Endeavor onto it, then level it up for Sucker Punch)

You can see an example of this at the end of the battle shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkLDGtu36Q&fmt=18 here].

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]]. Like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Darkrai}} before it, it is an [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:Shayminpanstickers.PNG|200x|thumb|left|Official anime artwork of Shaymin's Land Forme]]Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Pure white fur covers its body, and instead of quills, there is soft, fluffy fur on its back that looks just like grass. A pink flower grows on each side of its head, somewhat resembling [[Glacidea Flower]]s. Shaymin has a plump underbelly and stubby paws. Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex figure of 0'08", it is also among the smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Chingling}}.

[[Image:Skyshayminpanstickers.PNG|200x|thumb|left|Official anime artwork of Shaymin's Sky Forme]]
As first revealed Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. The second is a new Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. Shaymin will automatically change into this form if it comes in contact with a [[Glacidea Flower]], but has been seen changing form at will in its {{pkmn|movie}}. If night falls and a Shaymin is in its Sky Forme, it will immediately change back into its original Land Forme. This is because in [[Pokémon Platinum]], Shaymin cannot be in its Sky Forme at night or if it's [[Frozen]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canine-like appearance. It has a fluffy neck collar and tail. The fur that was originally on its back has shifted into what looks like a mohawk. Its now longer legs have green fur covering them making them look as if Shaymin were wearing stockings. 2 large red flower petals grow on one side of its neck. Big wing-like ears are on its head. It seems to always have a brave expression.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify the area they are in of all pollutants and transform it into a flowery field. According to [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|the movie it debuted in]], any dirty air that Shaymin breathe in is exhaled as pure, clean air, a trait that is similar to {{p|Meganium}}'s ability to revive plants with its breath. In addition, like several Legendary Pokémon, Shaymin were revealed to be able to communicate telepathically.

Shaymin is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Seed Flare}}.

===Behavior===
====Land Forme====
Shaymin have timid and curious natures. They curl up into a ball if they sense a threat is near, or if something scares them. Like most dogs that have a lot of fur, Shaymin will usually shake themselves dry. If Shaymin are content, they may sprout a few extra flowers, making them look like tiny bouquets.

====Sky Forme====
Shaymin have courageous, yet playful natures. If they come across an enemy, they won't be afraid to fight back. They like to zip and zoom around happily when they fly.

===Habitat===
Shaymin lives in flowery fields. However, since Shaymin can camouflage itself by curling itself up, Shaymin can easily escape people's notice-- the reason being that the fur on Shaymin's back resembles the grass and the flowers on its head resemble the flowers usually surrounding it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Like lots of wild Pokémon, Shaymin may eat things native to their environment like wild grasses and berries. In the anime the Shaymin that {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} took care of was seen eating various things like [[Poffin]]s and pancakes.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Shaymin and Jirachi seem to both have something to do with special rocks and need to be wished upon to appear.
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]]; {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are distinct from the aforementioned three in tying with many other legendary Pokémon for the lowest catch rate among all Pokémon.
* Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon, and one of the shortest Pokémon overall, tying with {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Chingling}}.
* This is the second event legendary Pokémon which was thought only to be received at a [[Nintendo event]]. However, in the Japanese version of Diamond/Pearl, it can be caught through [[Surf glitch|a glitch]] involving {{m|Surf}} in the room of the first Elite Four member. Likewise, in other language versions, [[Tweaking|another glitch]] is said to get the player to reach [[Seabreak Path]] and [[Flower Paradise]] as well.
* Shaymin Land Forme is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it.
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin if spoken with during an excursion in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224}}.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]] Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224}}.
*When ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' premiered in Japan, an [[event]] Shaymin is available at theaters from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Shaymin is at [[level]] 50 and is holding a {{b|Micle}}. It is contained in a [[Poké Ball#Generation IV Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]], with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''えいがかん''' ''Movie Theatre'' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''07198'''. It has its [[signature move]], {{m|Seed Flare}}, at an earlier level, namely 50, the level at which it is received.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Both of Shaymin's Formes have the same abilities as {{p|Happiny}} and its evolutions.
*According to a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=wKXNTWdBxzU Pokémon Sunday clip] showing how to change forms with the [[Glacidea Flower]], Shaymin's Sky Forme is revealed to have a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
*The way Sky Forme Shaymin fly in a group, their reindeer-like appearance, and the way they prance in the air may be similar to that of Santa's reindeer. This would be slightly ironic, seeing as it has a double weakness to [[Ice (type)|Ice]].

===Hoax===
A hoax perpetrated by PurpleKecleon, an artist on deviantART, brought a version of Shaymin's Sky Forme, with a more feminine appearance than its real Sky Forme, to the fandom. This fake Sky Forme was passed around several Pokémon websites and assumed real until [[PokéBeach]] confirmed that it was fake.

===Leaking===
Before Shaymin's Sky Forme was officialy revealed, a photo of a drink tumbler decorated with several Pokémon, including Sky Forme, was shown on a [[Pokémon Festa]] page. The page was taken down moments after the webmasters realized that Sky Forme was accidentally shown to the public. Several people had already known about the tumbler already, however. It was assumed and later proven that it was Shaymin's Sky Forme.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. Its pure-white body and the grasslike fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|chia pet}}. Its Sky Forme shares traits of a {{wp|dog}} and a {{wp|reindeer}}. For instance, its ears resemble a reindeer's antlers; while its brave, cheerful and energetic appearance and personality are somewhat like that of the domestic dog.

====Name origin====
Its name may come from the word ''{{wp|shame}}'', as it is a very shy and elusive Pokémon. It may also be derived from ''{{wp|shaman}}''. The English name also is a slight alteration of its Japanese name. Its katakana name contains 実''mi'', which means ''seed'' in Japanese. Furthermore, its name may be a combination of 感謝 ''kansha'', thanks or gratitude, and 針鼠 ''harinezumi'', hedgehog.

'''Vladimir the Attacker''' (Japanese: '''ジンベイ''' ''Jinbei''), who is also known as Ralph, is a Pokémon trainer who resides in [[Lilycove City]]. His English voice actor is [[Pete Zarustica]].

He appeared in ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' and ''[[AG091|Lessons in Lilycove]]''. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], after battling [[Winona]], was eager to teach his [[Ash's Swellow|Swellow]] how to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}. However, he wasn't having very good luck with it. Then Vladimir the Attacker approached Ash. An expert on {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, he decided to help teach Ash all about Aerial Ace.

Using his {{p|Pidgeotto}}, Vladimir demonstrated the correct way to use Aerial Ace. He set up a bunch of targets and told Ash he had to try and get Swellow to hit them. Ash had Swellow try this multiple times. Eventually, it got the move down perfectly. Ash thanked Vladimir for all of his help and continued on with [[Ash's friends|his friends]] to [[Mossdeep City]].

Apparently, Vladimir is very famous as a trainer, since Ash and [[Max]] hold him in high respect and even bow down to him.

'''Sucker Punch''' (Japanese: '''ふいうち''') is a damage-dealing {{t|Dark}}-type move introduced in [[Generation IV]].

=Effect=
Sucker Punch does damage, and is an increased priority move. If the opponent does not use an increased priority move during the round that it is used, Sucker Punch will go first regardless of the user's or opponent's speed. If the opponent also uses an increased priority move during the same round that the user uses Sucker Punch, the attack order of the users will be determined normally.

If the opponent uses a non-damaging move, Sucker Punch will miss.

JirachiWishmaker0802:

{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}

; Annoyer: A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making the game difficult for him/her. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]].

; Atmacune: A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{M|Curse}}, {{M|Rest}}, {{M|Return}} and {{M|Roar}}. No longer viable now that {{m|Curse}} is no longer a TM.

; Baton Passer: A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Substitute}}, or {{m|Wish}}. Designed to raise one or more stats for a few turns, then pass off to another Pokémon who can use them better. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''.

; Bellyzard: A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Fang}}/{{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. Held item is a {{b|Salac}}. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the {{b|Salac}}. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical Fire attack. However using Flare Blitz with this technique is sure to result in the user fainting.

; BL: Borderline. The tier that holds Pokémon that are considered too underpowered for OU, but too powerful for UU, like for instance, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, or {{p|Blaziken}}.

; Boltbeam: A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}.

; Bomber: Any Pokémon that knows {{m|Selfdestruct}} and/or {{m|Explosion}}. The aim is to knock out the opponent's Pokémon within one turn, also causing the Bomber to faint in the process.

; CalmCune: A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}} and {{m|Rest}}. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon. It can be countered by a Pokémon with the {{a|Insomnia}} ability using {{m|Skill Swap}} (e.g. Hypno), or the move {{m|Worry Seed}}

; ChainChomp: {{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed Sweeper with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard physical wall by taking advantage of most physical walls lacking a good Special Defense stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

; Choice Bander/CBer: A moveset with nothing but physical attacks and the hold item [[In-battle_effect_item#Choice Band|Choice Band]]. Requires a lot of switching and is countered by '''Spikers'''.

; Cleric: A moveset with {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}} on it. It works well with the {{a|Natural Cure}} ability and Pseudo Passing moves.

; Counter: A moveset built with the defeat of another in mind. For example, a '''Skarmbliss''' counter would have an effective means of dealing with both {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}}, usually a Fire/Electric attack for Skarmory and the Fighting-type {{m|Focus Punch}} for Blissey. TyraniBoah and McIceGar are examples of specific counters.

; Curselax: A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't Ghosts).

; Decoy: Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is also often used to have time to use an item on a stronger Pokémon without risking its life. A Decoy is also used to "switch" to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

; Double Rester: A combination of {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Rest}} quite common back in the [[Generation II]] days. Almost obsolete now thanks to {{m|Aerial Ace}} and similar moves.

; Dragon Dancer: Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Dragonite}}.

; Endureversal/flail: A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage. The item held is often a {{b|Salac}}.

; [[F.E.A.R.]]: It is a last resort strategy involving a low-level {{p|Rattata}} holding a [[Focus Sash]] with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It involves catching the foe off-guard when he/she sees the low-level Rattata and will presumably attack the Rattata. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent.

; Fishy: A moveset with two One-Hit-Knockout moves, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, and {{m|Rest}}. Its name is a derivative of "{{m|Fissure}}".

; Flinchax: A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a flinch move such as {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Extrasensory}}. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, preventing the foe from getting an attack in edgewise. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor, because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]].

; Glass Cannon: A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats but appalling defensive and speed stats e.g. {{p|Cranidos}} or {{p|Rampardos}}

; Hax: Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. For example, {{m|Horn Drill}} is a hax move. Items such as [[Items#Focus Band|Focus Band]], [[In-battle effect item#BrightPowder|BrightPowder]], and [[Items#Scope Lens|Scope Lens]] are hax items. The most common use of "hax" is in the term "Flinchax".

; Hazer: A moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Like the '''Spiker''', it can have any combination of moves besides Haze on it. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses make good hazers.

; HP: Usually used as an abbreviation for "Hit Points", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the Water type.

; McIceGar: A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]]. {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}}.

; MixApe: A mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking. The set consists of the moves {{m|Nasty Plot}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}} and {{m|Close Combat}}.

; NFE: Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe using Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some exceptions, namely:
*[[Light Ball]] {{p|Pikachu}}
*{{p|Scyther}}
*{{p|Porygon2}}
*{{p|Vigoroth}}
*{{a|Arena Trap}} {{p|Trapinch}}
*[[Deepseatooth]] {{p|Clamperl}}

; NU: Neverused. Refers to Pokémon with very low stats and small movepools that prevent it from being used in the common metagame, such as {{p|Ariados}}.

; OU: Overused. Refers to commonly used Pokémon in the metagame such as {{p|Garchomp}} and {{p|Blissey}}.

; Pinch Berry: Any one of the following: [[Liechi Berry|Liechi]], [[Ganlon Berry|Ganlon]], [[Salac Berry|Salac]], [[Petaya Berry|Petaya]], [[Apicot Berry|Apicot]], [[Lansat Berry|Lansat]], and [[Starf Berry|Starf]]. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name).

; Pseudo Passer: A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, or {{m|Reflect}} on it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

; Pseudo Hazer (Phazer): A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A '''Shuffler''' can also be a Phazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a Phazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

; Seeker: Any Pokémon with a moveset that has at least one attack that never misses, such as {{m|Faint Attack}}. Other Seeker moves are {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Vital Throw}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Shock Wave}}. These attacks are countered by {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Protect}} and {{m|Detect}}. This can also refer to a Pokémon that uses {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} on an opponent that uses {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or {{m|Dive}}, which ensures that the next attack hits the opponent, despite using any of the four moves.

; Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler): A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then Phazing and repeating. Often used in tandem with a Spiker for best results. Countered by a '''Cleric'''.

; Skarmbliss: A stall team with both {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} on it, designed to abuse the high defense of Skarmory and the high special defense of Blissey.

; Sleeptalker: A moveset with {{M|Rest}}, {{M|Sleep Talk}} and two damaging moves on it. Used to maintain a Pokémon (usually with good defenses) healthy with Rest and using Sleep Talk in the meantime to attack. {{p|Milotic}} is the prime example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

; Specs-Mence: A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or [[Wise Glasses]] in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

; Spiker: A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that's the only requirement, there are many variations to spiker movesets. Good ones utilize {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

; Sponge: Not really a moveset but a Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (i.e. Special Sponge). Synonymous with '''Wall'''.

;Sporepuncher: A moveset specifically for {{p|Breloom}} that uses the combination of {{m|Spore}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. Similar to the subpuncher set, but instead of {{m|Substitute}} uses Spore to evade the Focus Punch flinch.

; STAB: [[Same-type attack bonus]]. Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types.
: E.g.: A Garchomp gets STAB for Dragon-type as well as Ground-type attacks.

; Staller: Much like the '''Tank''', this moveset lives to inflict a status condition and then stall with either {{m|Protect}} or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}}, or {{m|Dig}}. Although {{m|Toxic}} is the standard you can also have a Pyrostaller (a Staller with {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}). Countered by a '''Cleric'''.

; Stealth Rocker: A Pokémon that uses {{m|Stealth Rock}}, similar to a '''Spiker'''.

; Subpuncher: A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}, created to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Similar to the '''Sporepuncher'''.

; Sunnybeamer: A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Solarbeam}}, and a Fire attack. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability and the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}} or {{m|Moonlight}}.

; Sweeper: A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. Usually countered by a '''Tank'''.

; Tank: A moveset with the object of stalling until the opponent faints, usually from {{m|Toxic}}. Moves that raise defenses, recover HP, and inflict status conditions on the opponent are good choices for a tank.

; Thunderdancer: A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Thunder}}, and a Water attack. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

; Trapper: A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a quick knockout. Certain abilities ({{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}) trap automatically.

; Trickbander: A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item [[In-battle effect item#Choice Band|Choice Band]] to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a Tank, Annoyer or Special Sweeper). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one.

; Trickbracer: Similar to the '''Trickbander''', a Trickbracer gives the opponent the [[In-battle effect item#Macho Brace|Macho Brace]] instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most Sweepers in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In Generation IV, the [[Iron Ball]] and [[Lagging Tail]] hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way.

; TyraniBoah: A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.
; Uber: A Pokémon (primarily [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]]) with very high stats and usually a large and diverse movepool. Current Ubers are:
<ul>
<li>
{{p|Mewtwo}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Mew}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Lugia}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Ho-Oh}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Wobbuffet}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Latias}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Latios}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Kyogre}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Groudon}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Rayquaza}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Deoxys}} (All forms, except Speed)
</li>
<li>
{{p|Dialga}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Palkia}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Giratina}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Manaphy}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Darkrai}}
</li>
<li>
{{p|Arceus}}
</li></ul>

While most Pokémon in the Uber tier are there for their stats, Wobbuffet is included primarily because of its Shadow Tag ability. Since the principle behind countering a Pokémon in battle is to switch out to a Pokémon that is better able to cope with the opponent's strengths, and Shadow Tag works like Mean Look to trap a Pokémon in battle, Wobbuffet can be thought of as "uncounterable." In addition, its ability to learn Encore means that the use of Wobbuffet requires no prediction skills; the Wobbuffet user must only Encore an offensive move and then use either Counter or Mirror Coat (depending on the move's type) to induce damage on the opponent.

; UU: Underused. Seldom-seen Pokémon with weaker stat totals or movepools than the metagame norm. Examples of UUs include {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Manectric}}

; Wall: Not really a moveset, but a Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (i.e. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

'''Solrock''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソルロック''' ''Solrock'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Solrock come with the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, which gives the user immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Solrock is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from sunlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air and is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and is usually a last resort. It is also capable of generating its own heat to create fire.

====Gender differences====
Solrock is genderless.

===Special abilities===
As it thrives upon solar energy, it emits bright light during battle, as well as heat waves whenever it rotates. This solar power it contains allows it to learn moves like {{m|Fire Spin}} naturally, as well as being able to learn other {{t|Fire}} moves by TM, such as {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Overheat}}. Its psychic powers allow it to read the minds of others.

===Behavior===
Solrock is an emotionless Pokémon, and instead seems to be affected more by solar energy. It simply floats to transport itself and will attack if necessary.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SolidasaSolrock.jpg|thumb|right|Tate's Solrock and Liza's {{p|Lunatone}}]]
Solrock first appeared in ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home]]''. A group of people blamed a wild Solrock for a drought in their village, when it was actually [[Team Rocket]] stealing their water. The Solrock redeemed its reputation when it helped to get rid of Team Rocket.

Solrock appeared again under the ownership of [[Liza and Tate|Tate]] in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]'' and ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]''.

[[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]] used his Solrock in a battle against [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] in ''[[AG189|Pace - The Final Frontier]]''.

==In the TCG==

'''Lunatone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルナトーン''' ''Lunatone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Psychic}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Lunatone come with the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, which gives the user immunity to {{type2|Ground}} moves.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lunatone is a Pokémon that originally came from space. They originally came to earth within meteorites and have since adapted to life on earth quite nicely. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air and is capable of reading the thoughts of other lifeforms like most psychic types. It is even capable of brainwashing, but only does this when it feels threatened and is usually a last resort.

====Gender differences====
Lunatone is genderless.

===Special abilities===
Lunatone's ability, {{a|Levitate}}, allows it to avoid {{type2|Ground}} moves such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}.

===Behavior===
Lunatone's power and health seems to be tied directly to the {{wp|Lunar phase|phases of the moon}}. When there is a full moon, Lunatone is at the peak of its strength. Presumably when there is a new moon, Lunatone is defenseless.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Lunatone seems to prefer caves.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SolidasaSolrock.jpg|thumb|right|Liza's Lunatone and Tate's {{p|Solrock}}]]
Lunatone first appeared in ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]''. A pair of thieves calling themselves the [[PMC]] was after it due to wanting to get their hands on another outer-space Pokémon.

[[Tate and Liza|Liza]] and her Lunatone debuted in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me]]'' along [[Tate and Liza|Tate]] and her {{p|Solrock}}. [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Gym battle against Tate and Liza and their Meteorite Pokémon was in the [[AG100|following episode]].

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Lunatone (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Lunatone is the symbol of the [[Phobos Battalion]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=3
|rubydex=Lunatone was discovered at a location where a meteorite fell. As a result, some people theorize that this Pokémon came from space. However, no one has been able to prove this theory so far.
|sapphiredex=Lunatone becomes active around the time of the full moon. Instead of walking, it moves by floating in midair. The Pokémon's intimidating red eyes cause all those who see it to become transfixed with fear.
|emeralddex=It becomes very active on the night of a full moon. This Pokémon was first discovered 40 years ago at the site of a meteor strike.
|firereddex=Its health ebbs and flows with the lunar cycle. It brims with power when exposed to the light of the full moon.
|leafgreendex=Its health ebbs and flows with the lunar cycle. It brims with power when exposed to the light of the full moon.
|diamonddex=Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.
|pearldex=Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases.

'''Camerupt Mountain''' is an anime-exclusive location. According to the anime, it is situated near a river by Valley town. At the summit is an open area where people can enjoy stargazing. [[AG087|In the anime]], [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] scale Camerupt Mountain to help a {{p|Lunatone}} being chased by both [[Team Rocket]] and the Pokémon Mystery Club.

'''Crazy as a Lunatone''' (Japanese: '''神秘！宇宙から来たポケモン!?''' ''Mystery! A Pokémon from Space!?'') is episode 87 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on July 29, 2004 and in the United States on August 20, 2005.


A Lunatone from Space and starts manipulating the minds of those around it. Ash and friends promise to get Lunatone to where the full moon can be seen so it can recharge its energy but that won't be easy with the Pokémon Mystery Club out looking for it.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
At the crack of dawn, a meteor crashes on Earth and sends out a shockwave felt for miles. The PMC (Pokémon Mystery Club), which consists of Ken and Mary, are psyched about this, so they hurry to check it out. Taking out their flashlights and equipment, they use their skills to construct a mechanical vehicles with robotic arms. This mecha has a searchlight as well, so they use that to search for the meteor and successfully spot it. Next, they use a missile-launcher to blast it enough to get samples.

Out of the meteor comes a bright glow, and within seconds, the Moon Pokémon Lunatone rises up from the rocks. This is the kind of exotic find that would especially spark the PMC's interest, so now it's time to use the arms to grab Lunatone and study it. Unfortunately for them, Lunatone is very agile and good at dodging and evading the arms. As it sees it's chance, it uses its Psychic to lift the heavy vehicle, thus distracting Ken and Mary. They desperately try zapping it but Lunatone just absorbs the energy. Lunatone then opens its eye and freezes Ken and Mary in its a red glow of Hypnosis. Lunatone floats away and escapes to the nearby town.

Ash and the others are making their way to Lilycove City and they decide to stop at Valley Town, ostensibly to rest at a {{g|Center}}. Team Rocket, who are hiding in the nearby bushes and snacking on rice crackers, also heard the crash. They begin spying on Ash and company. They're also interested in the meteor. They actually have an idea of where it landed, so as usual, they’re gonna get it for “the boss”.

Valley Town resembles a ghost town. No people on the streets, tumbleweeds rolling by, and basically a creepy vibe, a bit like Dark City in Kanto. They discover that the Pokémon Center is also deserted, without even a Nurse Joy behind the counter to welcome them. Then, she emerges from the back room, having heard them, she came to investigate. However, although Brock doesn’t realize it, she’s not very nice. In fact, she’s acting like she doesn’t know what they’re doing here, and when asked to heal Pokémon or let them stay, she rudely refuses, and tells them that this is a bad choice for a Pokémon Center, and walks out.

Everyone is flabbergasted at Joy’s strange behavior. Brock, however, considers himself the “Nurse Joy expert” and takes out of his backpack something he’s been hiding from us for a long time: a photo album of all the Joys! He claims to know them all very well, and NO Joy would ever act like that without reason. But anyway, since Valley Town Joy is being so stubborn, they might as well enjoy a good meal while at the Center.

People and Pokémon alike chow down, but Lombre suddenly seems to be picking up something but then shrugs and walks away. Seconds later, Brock realizes that Lombre is missing and its dish is still full. Apparently, Lombre heard something in the nearby bushes and decided to investigate, only to be grabbed by two suspicious-looking people, who have now caught everyone's attention. They instantly suspect TR, but are shocked to realize that these people have a Pokédex machine they are using to get info on Lombre. After getting the info, they decide to remove their masks, and reveal themselves as Ken and Mary from the PFC. Ash and Brock sure remember them from back when they helped that Cleffa. Ken and Mary tell them about the meteor crash and how they were the first to get to it. After much investigating, they found a mysterious Pokémon emerge, which must mean there are more Pokémon in outer space. Thinking fast, they say their goodbyes and rush off to look for it.

The person most interested in this seems to be Max, who can’t wait to discover it. Brock explains since it was been discovered that Clefairy came from outer space, so it’s possible that other Pokémon also come from outer space. Then, they realize that with such an incident as this one going on, its no wonder Joy would be busy, she’s probably studying data! They get back to the Pokémon Center to help, but are are careful not to annoy Joy.

Team Rocket are also just as interested, so while spying on them in the bushes, they decide to follow them to the center. Unfortunately for TR, it's closed by the time they get there, so they will have to get in through the window. With a simple ladder, it’s pretty darn easy for them. However, they make a bit too big of a crash when landing inside. Naturally, Ash and company investigate the crash and come to a long hallway. They see a rather disturbing shadow, and Max wonders aloud if that is the Pokémon from outer space. But it's only Team Rocket who are threatening to get to the meteor before anyone else does. Joy's voice interrupts them. Nervously, Team Rocket and Team Twerp go into hiding, afraid to be caught by Joy.

Everyone winds up hiding in the Center's storage room. A rustling sound coming from some nearby boxes causes James to turn his flashlight in that direction and he discovers Lunatone. Ash checks the Pokédex for info, and gets a lot more than just that—it classifies it as the “Meteor Pokémon”, and says that it is said to have come from outer space! But why is it in the storage room? Maybe so that nobody else can find it.

Suddenly, the light clicks on, and Joy appears in the doorway. She’s definitely surprised they found Lunatone and is even more surprised when Team Rocket threaten to capture it. Sending out Cacnea and Seviper, they try a combined Needle Arm and Bite. Lunatone opens its eye and easily takes care of them with a Psychic, knocking them both out. However, after such a powerful attack, Lunatone collapses on the floor, tired out. Brock offers to help Joy with Lunatone before she asks for any help. Meanwhile, Meowth is conversing with Lunatone in the corner. He actually seems to feel quite sorry for it, and wants to help it. However, he is overruled by his human partners, who insist on using force. They command their respective Pokémon to use Needle Arm and Poison Tail. Realizing that Lunatone is too tired to battle, Ash has Pikachu interfere and blast all three of them off (including Meowth) through the roof with a Thunderbolt.

While examining Lunatone at the table, Joy declares that it’s in a really weak condition, and there’s only one way they can heal it. They will have to expose it to moonlight. However, Joy tells them that the best place in the area to be exposed to bright moonlight is on [[Camerupt Mountain]]. It’s not hard to miss, as it's just over the river and through an area with twin mountains that look like the formation of a Camerupt’s back. That would be no trouble for them, seeing as they saw a Camerupt recently and have a basic idea in their mind of what the mountain would look like.

As they embark on their journey through the mountains, they bring Lunatone with them in a big cardboard box on wheels, along with some other aid equipment. Pikachu is in there too, to keep an eye on Lunatone and make sure it’s okay, and that it doesn’t go crazy. Suddenly, they run into the PMC once again, who ask if they’ve seen the meteor or the mysterious Moon-shaped Pokémon. Not sure if PMC is on the level, Team Twerp explain that they have no idea where the Pokémon is. Then, they lead Ken and Mary on a wild goose chase, giving random directions, and then passing by, glad to get them out of their way. Ken is a little suspicious, so they take out their kit and once again build a machine to help them find it.

The twerps have nearly reached the top, and Max is the first to notice a distant formation in the rocks which looks exactly like the back of a Camerupt. Being the Pokémon expert, they trust them, but Joy confirms him correct anyway. As they let Pikachu and Lunatone out, Joy checks her watch, and says that the moon should rise right about now. A big round yellow thing rising above the mountains proves only to be J&J in their balloon, still not having given up.

As they stretch out their mechanical claw to grab Lunatone, Ash tries jumping in between the claw and Lunatone, but is stopped by the fact that the claw from the PFC mecha has already come between Team Rocket and Lunatone. After a bit of verbal arguing, Ken and Mary’s vehicle shakes Team Rocket's balloon up a bit, since the PMC vehicle is heavier, but they don’t let go! Not like that’s a problem, seeing as how both arms are made of metal, they’re easily able to zap the balloon and send Team Rocket off.

Now, Ash and his friends have to stop the PMC. Pikachu tries an Iron Tail, but is knocked back by the machine’s arm. Mudkip tries a Water Gun, hitting them a little, but suffers the same fate. May tries a different strategy, using her long lost Beautifly’s Silver Wind, dealing them a lot of damage! Mudkip still has some energy, so it helps with Water Gun. As does Pikachu, who helps a bit with Thunderbolt. Not much damage is done to the machine, unfortunately.
Suddenly, Joy notices that the moon is rising. Everyone watches as it slowly rises, and Lunatone uses its Moonlight technique, replenishing all its energy back to normal. Lunatone is back now, and stronger than ever!

Now that it's stronger, it’s a perfect target for the PMC. As they make one final attempt to grab it, Lunatone uses its Hidden Power, destroying the machine, and blasting it off! Ash sure feels proud, being involved in solving such a huge mystery, and helping an exotic Pokémon like Lunatone. However, it’s time for them to part, as Lunatone is headed back to its home on the Moon. Everyone waves and slowly watches as Lunatone drifts off, until they can’t see it anymore.

JirachiWishmaker0802: /* Wants to join */ new section

== What goes and what don't ==

I've just begin to edit some move pages and I was wondering what should go there. For example, a 2nd generation move (like Rain Dance) should have something like "This move didn't exist on 1st generation" under Effect - Generation I?
: Don't bother creating a Generation I heading. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:44, 10 March 2006 (CST)

Also, things like the fact that Stomp will deal double damage on a minimized foe, should be on the Stomp page, the Minimize page or in both?
: Both. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:44, 10 March 2006 (CST)

And finally, moves like Frenzy Plant or Volt Tackle should mention the way you could obtain them (since its uniqueness)?
: Of course. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:44, 10 March 2006 (CST)

==New member==
I would like to join the project as collaborator, who should I ask? [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 09:27, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

== Glitch attacks? ==

Should we or should we not give the glitched attacks like TM06 articles? After all, we give the glitched Pokémon like [[Q]] separate articles... Why not the attacks as well? [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 03:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

== Leaf Blade ==

{{m|Leaf Blade}} seems to have [http://serebii.net/attackdex-dp/leafblade.shtml gained power] in Diamond/Pearl. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 15:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== New Member number two ==

Sign me up. This is pretty much the reason I joined here, hehe. I've got access to all of the GBA Pokémon games, so as far as research and whatnot, I believe I can get most (if not all) of the moves so far. By all means, let me know right away if I can be of assistance. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

:Alright, I have a question to start things off. On move pages that have been automatically added, the move's details are in a table on the right side of the screen. This contains the Type (electric, grass, etc), PP, dmg, among other things. One thing I notice is a "Catagory:" <nowiki>{{{damagecatagory}}}</nowiki>. What is this supposed to read? Is it simply something added in that has nothing to do with the move? I've checked some moves that seem to have all the info, and they don't seem to have this heading in the table. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

::That's supposed to be whether the move is [[Physical attack|physical]] or [[Special attack|special]] in [[Generation IV]]. Most, if not all, moves probably don't have the info, as we've mainly been focusing on the new Pokémon for the past few months... Now that we know all of their names, though, it'd be a good idea to have people focus on the MoveDex instead of the Pokédex, though it'd be a good idea to add the Pokédex and availability templates to the Pokémon articles... all 493 of them... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Okay, I think I'll stick with Move discriptions for now, thanks... *shuffles away from the large scary number* -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 07:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

::::Actually, the amount of moves is only a slight bit less than the amount of Pokémon, 467 compared to 493. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 08:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

:::::Hey, 467's a small number compared to four-hundred and ninety-three. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 08:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

== Images of the move ==

I think that it would be a good idea to put a image of the move of the games or at least of the anime to make the Dex more complete. What do you think? --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 22:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:That sounds like a good project, but how hard would that end up being in the long run? Obviously, it's going to mean a lot of images... also, how will you get the images? I've got some experience with graphics as well, so providing it's not a big deal getting the images in the first place, I'm willing to help out with the uploading and formatting. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 03:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
::Lets take '''Signal Beam''' as example.
[[Image:Signal Beam Game.jpg|'''Signal Beam''' in the Games.]] 
[[Image:Signal Beam Anime.jpg|'''Signal Beam''' in the Anime.]]

It can be placed in the infobox, and its not so hard to make a screenshot of the moves. I don't think there was a legal problem, right??--[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 16:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Would an animated gif work for the game screen? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 17:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
::::That would be great, but i think is very VERY heavy in kb, they are an infinite of moves and everyone would have a gif, plus they are the jpges of the anime, so it's a LOT of bytes. Well, are you all agree with this sub-project?? --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 18:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::My only question at this point would be, wgere do we get the screencaps? Is there a site that doesn't mind up copying their pictures, or is there possibly a good way of gathering these screencaps ourselves? -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 04:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, i guess everybody have at least one season of the anime in their PC, or we can wait the Episode of the Day Club of PM and make screenshots of the moves, and the images of the game, well, we can capture it of a rom of GBA, it's not so hard. PS: How can i be a official member?? :D --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 16:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
So, any ideas of how we can place the images?? I think it could be in the infobox, or in a special sub-section of the article?? because the infobox is pretty long right now. The other possibility is put them in the box and put the "touches/can miss" stuff in a sub-section for more space, to make the box don't be larger than the article. Anyone know how to edit the box? --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 00:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
:I can edit the boxes if need be. I think the box could be made wider, otherwise we're ending up with a lot of unused space next to it... I'll try to get an example posted in a bit (I'm restricted to typing with one hand atm, so bare with me). -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 08:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Here's an example...
{| {{grayinfobox}} style="width: 25%; max-width: 25%;"
|-
! colspan="2" class="header" | Signal Beam シグナルビーム

So, how's this look? It would require a bit of tweaking to the move template, but it's doable. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 08:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

:If the image were to be centered, it'd look nicer. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

:I think it looks awesome, i like it. Now, where we can place the anime image??, can be in the box, but we would have to take out a info of the box because it would be too long.

This is just an idea, in the infobox will be just the general information:
* Name of the move.
* Name in japanese.
* Move info.
* Game image.
* Type.
* PP.
* Power.
* Accuracy.
* Anime image.
* Links.

And in a little infobox in the left after descrption (''Move'' is a damage...)
* '''Battles'''.
* Touch/Miss/Snatch/Magic Coat/King's Rock/Sound info.
* Battle description.
* '''Contests'''.
* Category.
* Appeal.
* Jam.
* Contest description.

::Then the languages and the learnset. Now we have the info more organized and the learnset boxes not sooooo down. Somebody know how to cut the boxes just for the example?? what do you think??. --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 16:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 Ok guys, TIME TO VOTE, i made some changes so ... wich looks better??
:[[Signal Beam (move)|Example 1 - '''Signal Beam''']] 
:[[Haze (move)|Example 2 - '''Haze''']] 
Lets choose one and then we can make minor edits. --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 23:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

:I think I like them both... how about we have the battle image in the infobox, and the anime image off to the side? Another thing I'd like to do is rearrange the formatting a bit, so the move details section of the page is next to the infobox, at the top of the page. White space ticks me off. :P I can get around to making another example of that as well, if you like. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 00:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
:: Please do it, i hate white space too xD --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 00:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Hmm, formatting's proving to be a bit more challenging then I thought... the table of contents keeps getting in my way. Just thought I'd share a little way I found to remove the TOC... just add <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> to the page. There's another code that can be added in as well to re-insert the TOC somewhere else, out of the way.
:::Since I don't have move images to use for an example, I'll make a copy of one of your examples in my userspace temporarily until I get the formatting figured out. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 00:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
::Use it man, those images are now property of Bulbapedia. --[[User:Empoleon Bonaparte|Bono]] 01:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[[TM06]], [[TM14]], [[TM15]], [[TM22]], [[TM25]], [[TM26]], [[TM28]], [[TM29]], [[TM32]], [[TM38]], and [[TM44]] have never changed which move they teach, however they are all disambiguation pages. I was under the impression that disambiguation pages are supposed to point towards two or more pages that could be confused, but in these cases the pages only point to one page. Also, all of the TMs over 50 redirect to their corresponding moves, so would it be all right to change all of these to redirects? [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 01:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

: For consistency, I'd say leave them. On the other hand, perhaps these should be expanded from mere disambiguation pages to item pages like on the Japanese Pokémon wiki, which lists prices and locations. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

: Yeah, consistency was my reasoning, particularly for the category. TM51+ are just redirects because they have all only been in one generation. (We can deal with [[Generation V]] when we get to it.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 16:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

== TMs ==

(Now I remember the reason why I came to the talk page in the first place..) I think we should include if the move is a TM, which number it is, what Generations did it appear in, where to find it... but rather brief, like Route XXX, or XXX Gym.. I dunno. Just a suggestion. If there is one, hit me on the head and show me where. [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 02:13, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

== New Member ==

I can help with the translations of the moves.

== Confusion ==

Hello, I've just joined the project, and am currently working on adding wikilinks to all the articles for moves that cause confusion. Before I started, not one of them had a link for a person to find out more about confusion. Since some of the articles have differing levels of content, here is how I determined which instance of the word (confuse/confused/confusion) to link:
# If the word occurs in the articles lead paragraph, link the first instance of it there.
# If not, but it appears in the Effects section, link the first occurence in that section.
# If not in the lead paragraph, and there is no Effects section, link the word where it appears in the description of the infobox.
I think every move should have an Effects section (a lot don't), and every move that causes confusion (or any other status effect) should say so in its lead paragraph, but I don't have time right now to do all that, this is easy. [[User:Dansiman|Dansiman]] 22:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
:I wouldn't link in the infobox. Just add what it does in the opening paragraph if it doesn't say. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 02:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
::Do we have a Stub-section template or something? You could just add Effect headers to moves that don't have them, and stub them. They'll need effect listings at some point anyway, putting the section there would make it simple and noticeable to anyone else passing by, that the move needs it's effect written up. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
:::Quick check; seems that <nowiki>{{gamestub}}</nowiki> is the correct tag for that. Do we normally stub a section if it's unfinished, or are the tags reserved for only really unfinished articles? I would think at the least, if the Effect section is blank, then the page itself would qualify as a stub... -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 05:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

== 'bats ==

Hi guys, I figured this would be the best place to put this question, since it spans several articles:

Do Zubat, Golbat and Crobat learn ''Scary Face'' in Generation II? Zubat and Golbat's pages say so, Crobat refers to ''Mean Look'' for that generation. I don't seem to find much conclusive evidence either way with a quick search online. The Mean Look page lists all three of them, though, for that generation; so my guess is that Scary Face should be removed from those move lists. Still, the situation's ambiguous enough that I'd rather someone with the game(s) at hand double-check that situation and clear up the inconsistency than 'be bold' myself. -[[User:Pinkgothic|Pinkgothic]] 18:20, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

== STAB ==

Hmm... On Pokémon pages, we bolden the Pokémon that can learn a move and get STAB from it, and italicize those who can learn a move and whose evolutions can get STAB from it. Why not do that for the Pokémon names in the move articles? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 03:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Are there plans on adding any data that's specific to Mystery Dungeon? The data we need is the following:

* PP (as they likely differ between MD and the main games)
* Accuracy (as they likely differ between MD and the main games)
* Probability of critical
* Attack ranges (line range, all in room, one space cuts corners, etc)
* Flags
** Affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}
** Affected by {{m|Snatch}}
** Affected by Muzzled status
** Does not damage frozen opponents
** Affected by {{m|Taunt}}
** Affected by Ginseng
* Other possible side effects that may differ from the main games (such as {{m|Crunch}} being a 40% cringer instead of lowering (S)Def)

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

My name is Benedict.
I have been a Pokémon fan since 2006. I discovered Bulbapedia last year and joined around last April.
