[[File:Bug Catching Contest HGSS.png|frame|Bug-Catching Contest judging in Generation IV]]
The '''Bug-Catching Contest''' is a competition held every [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday]] in [[Johto]]'s [[National Park]]. The Bug-Catching Contest was introduced in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and makes a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the games==
===Rules===
There is no entry fee for the Bug-Catching Contest. Anyone may enter once per day, every [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday]].

To compete, Trainers must {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the single best {{type2|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} they can find. To do this, Trainers are given twenty {{DL|Poké Ball|Sport Ball|Sport Ball}}s (similar to Safari Balls; called "Park Balls" in Generation II), and they are only allowed to use a single Pokémon from their party. The rest of a Trainer's Pokémon and all of their items remain with the contest officials until the competition is over.

Any Pokémon caught will be recorded in the [[Pokédex]], but only one Pokémon can be kept to be judged. The Pokémon that is judged may be kept after the competition.

The competition ends when all the Sport Balls are used, the trainer [[black out|blacks out]], the trainer leaves the park, or 20 minutes have passed. After that, the judging will occur, in which Trainers are scored on their skills of capturing rare and powerful Pokémon.

===Scoring===
The score earned for a given Pokémon in [[Generation II]] is the sum of the following:
* 4 times the max HP of the Pokémon
* The stats of the Pokémon
* 16 points if the Defense IV is odd, 0 otherwise
* 8 points if the Attack IV is odd, 0 otherwise
* 4 points if the Special IV is odd, 0 otherwise
* 1 point if the Speed IV is odd, 0 otherwise
* 1/8 of the current HP of the Pokémon, rounded down
* 1 point if the Pokémon is holding an item, 0 otherwise

The score earned for a given Pokémon in [[Generation IV]] is the sum of the following:
* The level of the Pokémon relative to the maximum that can be found in the contest (eg. before the [[National Pokédex]], the value for Paras would be 17, but after the National Pokédex, this would be 34), as a percentage

==In the anime==
[[File:Casey Beedrill.png|thumb|right|180px|Ash's Beedrill]]
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Casey}} competed in the Bug-Catching Contest. During the competition, Casey caught a {{p|Weedle}}, and her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita|Meganium}} evolved into a {{p|Bayleef}}. Ash won the competition with a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, earning himself a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}. After the competition, he gave the Beedrill to Casey since she loves Pokémon with yellow and black stripes.

==Trivia==
*The music used during the contest is a remix of the [[Kanto]]-based games' [[Bicycle]] music.
*It is possible to catch the otherwise version-exclusive Pokémon {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Metapod}}, and {{p|Butterfree}} in {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}} and {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Beedrill}} in {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}} through the Bug-Catching Contest.
*After the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]] and enters the contest on Thursdays and Saturdays, some of the other competitors may be announced as having caught a Pokémon in the Caterpie or Weedle lines, despite those Pokémon not being available to the player on those days.

'''Buena''' (Japanese: '''アオイ''' ''Aoi'') is the host of [[Buena's Password|Buena's Password Show]], an independent radio broadcast introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, which becomes part of the [[Variety Channel]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In [[Generation II]], this radio show is only broadcast at night until midnight, and in [[Generation IV]], the show is broadcast every three hours between 2 AM and 11 PM. The player must remember the daily password to earn a point.

Players can obtain her phone number by talking to her after getting thirty {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Blue Card}} points. When Buena makes a phone call to the player, she will tip the player off that one of the slot machines in Goldenrod Game Corner is 'lucky', and the player will win more times while playing on it compared to the other slot machines; however, she does not say which one it is.

Most of the prizes awarded on Buena's radio show are rare items that can either not be bought at all or bought, but for a very high cost. This makes listening to the show very valuable in the games.

==Personality==
According to her Pokégear conversations with the {{player}}, Buena has limited sense of direction.

==Buena's Password prize list==

==Trivia==
* She shares her Japanese name with a [[Angie|recurring character]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Her name means "good" in Spanish.
* Buena's [[Pokégear]] title is ''Radio Personality''.

== Buena's Phone Number ==

What does calling Buena do in American HGSS? You know, because of the damn [[Voltorb Flip]]. {{color|00DD00|--[[User:Bulbafan|Bulbafan]] 01:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)}}

== Buena in HGSS ==
Buena can be called after midnight after obtaining her phone number. After greeting the player with "Hi, this is Buena... Oh! Hi, *player*! I just got off work. Let me tell you, I'm exhausted!", she will say among the following:
:"I'm thinking of going to the Game Corner tomorrow. It's been a while. You know, I have this great strategy for playing... I always do great! Huh? Nuh-uh, it's my secret! You'll have to figure it out yourself! Catch you later!"
:"Hey there! You use your Pokegear to listen to the radio, right? I heard that you can even display town maps with the Pokegear. I have a bad sense of direction so the Pokegear would be handy... Anyway, thanks for calling! Later!"
:"Is it sunny outside today? When you're cooped up in the Radio Tower as much as I am, you lose touch with the outside. It can be boring. Please call again!"

Jpp8: /* Trivia */

[[File:PokéGear HGSS m.png|thumb|right|Blue Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
[[File:PokéGear HGSS f.png|thumb|Pink Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
'''Pokémon Gear''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンギア''' ''Pokémon Gear''), mostly known as '''Pokégear''' (Japanese: '''ポケギア''' ''Pokégear''), is an electronic device found in [[Johto]]. It looks like a large, advanced wristwatch with the [[Silph Co.]] logo on it. It was first introduced in [[Generation II]]; the [[Hoenn]] region's analog to the Pokégear appears to be the [[PokéNav]], the [[Sinnoh]] counterpart is the [[Pokétch]], and the [[Unova]] counterpart is the [[C-Gear]].

The Pokégear is an important tool for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, some see it necessary to have one on a Trainer's adventure. The main character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} receives a Pokégear from their mother at the start of their journey. The {{player}} is able to have access to the Pokégear by selecting it from the [[menu]]. At that, it is easy to navigate through the Pokégear by selecting through four different functions located at the top-left of the screen. It displays the map of the region, names of previously fought Trainers, and the current time. It also allows players to call registered Trainers. Certain functions need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards.

The Pokégear returns in the Generation IV remakes, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The interface has been completely redesigned, using both screens on the [[Nintendo DS]]. The top will always display the time function on the Pokégear, while the touch screen will display the other different functions of the Pokégear, as well as selecting other functions using the touch screen. The outer aesthetics of the Pokégear have changed abruptly as well. The whole Pokégear is a flip top, while the bottom section of the Pokégear is used to scan special expansion cards to upgrade it with other functions. Its color skin is changeable between blue, pink, a [[Team Rocket]] theme, a Japanese dojo theme, a Pokémon League theme, and teal-and-white with a Silph Co. theme.

==Functions==
[[File:PokeGear.png|thumb|150px|right|Pokégear artwork from [[Generation II]]]]
The Pokégear's functionality comes from the several features and applications that can be installed in it, making it extensible. Many people are willing to give away special expansion cards to upgrade the Pokégear with other functions. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are 4 available functions, two of which are included with the Pokégear. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time.

===Time===
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the Pokégear, the time function is the most basic feature. The Pokégear will {{wp|digital clock|digitally}} display the time of day using the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour AM/PM format}} as well as the day of the week. It runs off the time the {{player}} input at the beginning of the game.

A glitch in Gold and Silver will change the day if the functions are scrolled through; this was addressed in Crystal. A function in Gold and Silver that allowed players to reset the game's time in the title screen was also removed from Crystal.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the time will always be displayed on the top screen of the DS. However, unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the time is displayed using the {{wp|24-hour clock|24-hour format}} instead of the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour format}} and runs on the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, much like the Pokétch. There is also a wireless signal measurement next to the time, though it has no purpose and always displays the same.

File:PokéGearTime.png|The time function in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}
File:PokéGearPhone_HGSS.png‎|The top screen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}
</gallery>

===Map===
Obtained after the player receives a map card for the Pokégear after taking a tour of [[Cherrygrove City]] from the Guide Gent, the map function of the Pokégear acts as a [[Town Map]], displaying a map of [[Johto]] and later [[Kanto]] with cities, towns and other important landmarks. It is the most basic of the map devices used by the {{player}}, and is the navigational item for all [[Generation II]] games.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the mechanics of the map remain the same, only to have several added features, including the ability to zoom in to display areas of interest, with certain locations having a small flavor text. There is another feature that allows the player to add notes and markings to different locations, to allow the player to make notes about each area about the Pokémon in the area, any [[Apricorn]] or [[Berry]] trees, any special buildings, [[TM]] locations or any other notes. These notes will appear on the top screen when the player highlights that specific area on the map. Like the Marking Map on the [[Pokétch]], it also displays the current locations of all [[Roaming Pokémon]], including {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Raikou}}.

If, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, a non-player character calls the player on the PokéGear phone for a rematch or to give an item, then the PokéGear map will display a small red exclamation point next to the name of the route or location.

</gallery>

===Phone===
[[File:HGSSPokéGearPhone.png|thumb|left|The phone function in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
[[File:PokéGearPhone.png|thumb|right|The phone function in [[Generation II]]]]
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the device, the Pokégear's phone acts like a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with. This allows the player to talk to other characters and learn information from them, such as battling tips or when rare Pokémon appear. Trainers with whom the player has exchanged numbers may also sometimes call the player to request a rematch, in which they will use higher-level Pokémon than during their initial battle.

The phone can also store numbers of other important people, like the player's [[mom]] or [[Professor Elm]]. Mom will also ring every so often, telling the {{player}} about the money she has saved (if opted for by the player) and occasionally spending that money on decorations for the player's [[bedroom]] or items such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s for the player. In Generation II, the phone function has a memory bank that can store the numbers for up to ten people.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the phone function makes a return and is used in the same way as before, though the interface (like the rest of the Pokégear) can now be controlled with the touch screen in addition to (or as an alternative to) the DS's buttons. In the remakes, the phone has no limit on how many numbers can be stored, though, unlike Generation II, numbers cannot be deleted from it. Also in the remakes, the player now has the option not to answer when someone calls them.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Trainers will only begin calling the player for rematches once the player has collected seven badges and beaten [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. In addition, once the Radio Tower has been saved, the player can call registered Trainers to arrange rematches with them without having to wait for the respective Trainers to call the player. Each Trainer has a specific time during a specific day each week where they will accept a rematch when called; if they are called at any other time of the week, they will use their usual script, and a rematch will not be arranged. When a Trainer is called at the appropriate time, as long as the player is not at the same route or location as the Trainer, they will accept the challenge of a rematch and can then be battled at their original location with higher-level Pokémon at any later point in time (though, once the rematch has taken place, the player will need to call or be called again in order to carry out another rematch). Additionally to further power up the trainer's team in two additional phases, defeating the Elite Four and later collecting all 16 badges are the necessary requirements for these powerups as long as each incarnation of that trainers' team is fought at least once. If a rematch with a Trainer has been arranged but not carried out, a red exclamation point will appear next to the name of the Trainer's location on the Pokégear map.

====Gym Leader phone listing====
''See also [[Rematch#Gym Leader Phone Listing|Gym Leader Phone Listing (sub-section of Gym Leader Rematch)]]''.

The rematch concept is expanded in HeartGold and SoulSilver to allow players to [[Rematch#Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|rematch the Gym Leaders]] of Johto and Kanto. The phone numbers for most of the sixteen Leaders can be obtained after defeating the [[Elite Four]], but rematches with the Gym Leaders cannot be scheduled until the {{badge|Earth}} has been obtained (i.e {{ga|Blue}} has been defeated). By speaking with them at the appropriate time and place, players can obtain their phone numbers. At a later, specified date, the player can call the Leader and ask for a rematch. The Leader will always accept, and the battle will be fought at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

===Radio===
After acquiring a Radio Card from a quiz host at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the Radio function of the Pokégear can now be used. It allows the player to tune in to the various radio stations being broadcast from the two Radio Towers in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Goldenrod (Johto)]] and [[Lavender Town#Kanto Radio Tower|Lavender (Kanto)]]. When traveling to Kanto, however, the EXPN Card must be obtained from the manager of the Kanto Radio Tower before all Kanto stations can be played in {{v|Crystal}}, and the Poké Flute station can be played in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} versions.

The Radio usually allows the players to tune in to the local programs, allowing the player to get tips from [[Professor Oak]] and [[DJ Mary]] on Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk, or to let the player tune in to specific channels such as [[Buena's Password]] to win prizes. However, the Radio is also capable of picking up other signals within its tunable range, thereby occasionally causing weird noises to be heard such as the Mysterious Transmissions coming from the [[Ruins of Alph]], or Team Rocket's evolution-forcing signals near the [[Lake of Rage]].

During Team Rocket's takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower, all other stations were being replaced by the Team Rocket Announcement.

The Radio function also works when the Pokégear is not in use, allowing the player to play tunes from a specific radio show when on the move. Some tunes even affect how wild Pokémon appear, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, when {{DL|DJ|Ben}} from the [[Pokémon Music Channel]] occasionally broadcasts the {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Hoenn Sound}} or {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}} to allow the player to attract wild Pokémon native to [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]].

====Generation II====
[[File:PokéGearRadio.png|240px|thumb|right|The radio interface in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
In Generation II when the Radio was first introduced, the interface features an interactive box at the top right corner, consisting of a number line divided into 'channels' and a slider that is controlled by the left and right buttons. The channels range from 0 to 20.5, and when the slider reaches a correct channel, a program will play (in this case, 4.5 for Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk). Most of the screen shows the name of the program and a large space for the dialog box to appear.

The following lists the shows available in Generation II:

====Generation IV====
[[File:PokéGearRadio HGSS.png|240px|thumb|right|The bottom screen of the radio interface in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the radio function makes a return, but the interface changes much drastically from [[Generation II]]. Most of the dialog and the reception icon is now shown at the top screen, while tuning can be done at the bottom screens. Tuning is done in two ways: moving a rounded indicator around the circular area using the stylus, or by selecting one of the four buttons at the side of the circular area, which directly tunes the radio to a pre-set Radio Station. (The Mysterious Transmission and the Poké Flute have to be manually tuned using the stylus.)

Programs in HeartGold and SoulSilver are now more varied; Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk will update the player on recent [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]], while a [[Variety Channel]] features a documentary and radio play. The broadcast timings for [[Buena's Password]] have also been changed, allowing her program to be received for one out of every three hours. Most programs are also not limited to their respective broadcast regions; the four main stations can be heard in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

The following lists the shows available in Generation IV:

==In the anime==
[[File:HGSS Pokegear anime.png|200px|right|thumb|Brock's Pokégear]]
In the anime, it is shown that the Pokégear has at least three designs, a black one, a white one, and a pink one. Several characters in the anime own Pokégears:
* {{mov|Lisa}} lent hers to Ash so that he could keep in contact with Professor Oak in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* A Pokégear under the ownership of [[Jasmine]], the [[Olivine City|Olivine]] [[Gym Leader]] made a brief appearance in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light]]''.
* {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}} and [[Vincent]] all own Pokégears. A plot point of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' is that it includes a tracking system to show where the other Pokégears currently are.
[[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pokegear|1=Pokegear black}} anime.png|200px|right|thumb|{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Misty's|1=Jimmy's}} Pokégear]]
* {{an|Misty}} also owns one, so that she can keep in contact with [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]].
* {{an|Lyra}} owns the new version of the Pokégear, and she owns a pink model. Likewise, her friend [[Khoury]] owns a blue model.
* {{an|Brock}} received his own Pokégear at the end of ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' when he was given one by [[Khoury's father]]. It has been used fairly regularly by him since then, normally being used by Brock to track the group's location (similar to how [[Max]] did with the [[PokéNav]]).

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|PokéGear|88}} appears as a card in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion. The redesigned version, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokégear 3.0|96}}, appears as a card in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion.

==Trivia==
*Music from the Pokégear doesn't stop when the player uses {{m|Surf}}; however, it does stop when the player gets out of the water.
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokégear's map displays Ethan's icon's hat with black sides, however the [[Pokédex]] display Ethan's icon's hat with yellow sides. This may be a leftover from conversion from his Generation II design (where the front of his hat was all black and the back was all yellow) to his Generation IV design (where the sides of his hat are black and the middle is yellow).

[[File:PokéGear HGSS m.png|thumb|right|Blue Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
[[File:PokéGear HGSS f.png|thumb|Pink Pokégear in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
'''Pokémon Gear''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンギア''' ''Pokémon Gear''), mostly known as '''Pokégear''' (Japanese: '''ポケギア''' ''Pokégear''), is an electronic device found in [[Johto]]. It looks like a large, advanced wristwatch with the [[Silph Co.]] logo on it. It was first introduced in [[Generation II]]; the [[Hoenn]] region's analog to the Pokégear appears to be the [[PokéNav]], the [[Sinnoh]] counterpart is the [[Pokétch]], and the [[Unova]] counterpart is the [[C-Gear]].

The Pokégear is an important tool for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, some see it necessary to have one on a Trainer's adventure. The main character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} receives a Pokégear from their mother at the start of their journey. The {{player}} is able to have access to the Pokégear by selecting it from the [[menu]]. At that, it is easy to navigate through the Pokégear by selecting through four different functions located at the top-left of the screen. It displays the map of the region, names of previously fought Trainers, and the current time. It also allows players to call registered Trainers. Certain functions need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards.

The Pokégear returns in the Generation IV remakes, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The interface has been completely redesigned, using both screens on the [[Nintendo DS]]. The top will always display the time function on the Pokégear, while the touch screen will display the other different functions of the Pokégear, as well as selecting other functions using the touch screen. The outer aesthetics of the Pokégear have changed abruptly as well. The whole Pokégear is a flip top, while the bottom section of the Pokégear is used to scan special expansion cards to upgrade it with other functions. Its color skin is changeable between blue, pink, a [[Team Rocket]] theme, a Japanese dojo theme, a Pokémon League theme, and teal-and-white with a Silph Co. theme.

==Functions==
[[File:PokeGear.png|thumb|150px|right|Pokégear artwork from [[Generation II]]]]
The Pokégear's functionality comes from the several features and applications that can be installed in it, making it extensible. Many people are willing to give away special expansion cards to upgrade the Pokégear with other functions. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are 4 available functions, two of which are included with the Pokégear. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time.

===Time===
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the Pokégear, the time function is the most basic feature. The Pokégear will {{wp|digital clock|digitally}} display the time of day using the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour AM/PM format}} as well as the day of the week. It runs off the time the {{player}} input at the beginning of the game.

A glitch in Gold and Silver will change the day if the functions are scrolled through; this was addressed in Crystal. A function in Gold and Silver that allowed players to reset the game's time in the title screen was also removed from Crystal.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the time will always be displayed on the top screen of the DS. However, unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the time is displayed using the {{wp|24-hour clock|24-hour format}} instead of the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour format}} and runs on the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, much like the Pokétch. There is also a wireless signal measurement next to the time, though it has no purpose and always displays the same.

</gallery>

===Map===
Obtained after the player receives a map card for the Pokégear after taking a tour of [[Cherrygrove City]] from the Guide Gent, the map function of the Pokégear acts as a [[Town Map]], displaying a map of [[Johto]] and later [[Kanto]] with cities, towns and other important landmarks. It is the most basic of the map devices used by the {{player}}, and is the navigational item for all [[Generation II]] games.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the mechanics of the map remain the same, only to have several added features, including the ability to zoom in to display areas of interest, with certain locations having a small flavor text. There is another feature that allows the player to add notes and markings to different locations, to allow the player to make notes about each area about the Pokémon in the area, any [[Apricorn]] or [[Berry]] trees, any special buildings, [[TM]] locations or any other notes. These notes will appear on the top screen when the player highlights that specific area on the map. Like the Marking Map on the [[Pokétch]], it also displays the current locations of all [[Roaming Pokémon]], including {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Raikou}}.

If, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, a non-player character calls the player on the PokéGear phone for a rematch or to give an item, then the PokéGear map will display a small red exclamation point next to the name of the route or location.

===Phone===
[[File:HGSSPokéGearPhone.png|thumb|left|The phone function in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
[[File:PokéGearPhone.png|thumb|right|The phone function in [[Generation II]]]]
Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the device, the Pokégear's phone acts like a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with. This allows the player to talk to other characters and learn information from them, such as battling tips or when rare Pokémon appear. Trainers with whom the player has exchanged numbers may also sometimes call the player to request a rematch, in which they will use higher-level Pokémon than during their initial battle.

The phone can also store numbers of other important people, like the player's [[mom]] or [[Professor Elm]]. Mom will also ring every so often, telling the {{player}} about the money she has saved (if opted for by the player) and occasionally spending that money on decorations for the player's [[bedroom]] or items such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s for the player. In Generation II, the phone function has a memory bank that can store the numbers for up to ten people.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the phone function makes a return and is used in the same way as before, though the interface (like the rest of the Pokégear) can now be controlled with the touch screen in addition to (or as an alternative to) the DS's buttons. In the remakes, the phone has no limit on how many numbers can be stored, though, unlike Generation II, numbers cannot be deleted from it. Also in the remakes, the player now has the option not to answer when someone calls them.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Trainers will only begin calling the player for rematches once the player has collected seven badges and beaten [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. In addition, once the Radio Tower has been saved, the player can call registered Trainers to arrange rematches with them without having to wait for the respective Trainers to call the player. Each Trainer has a specific time during a specific day each week where they will accept a rematch when called; if they are called at any other time of the week, they will use their usual script, and a rematch will not be arranged. When a Trainer is called at the appropriate time, as long as the player is not at the same route or location as the Trainer, they will accept the challenge of a rematch and can then be battled at their original location with higher-level Pokémon at any later point in time (though, once the rematch has taken place, the player will need to call or be called again in order to carry out another rematch). Additionally to further power up the trainer's team in two additional phases, defeating the Elite Four and later collecting all 16 badges are the necessary requirements for these powerups as long as each incarnation of that trainers' team is fought at least once. If a rematch with a Trainer has been arranged but not carried out, a red exclamation point will appear next to the name of the Trainer's location on the Pokégear map.

====Gym Leader phone listing====
''See also [[Rematch#Gym Leader Phone Listing|Gym Leader Phone Listing (sub-section of Gym Leader Rematch)]]''.

The rematch concept is expanded in HeartGold and SoulSilver to allow players to [[Rematch#Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|rematch the Gym Leaders]] of Johto and Kanto. The phone numbers for most of the sixteen Leaders can be obtained after defeating the [[Elite Four]], but rematches with the Gym Leaders cannot be scheduled until the {{badge|Earth}} has been obtained (i.e {{ga|Blue}} has been defeated). By speaking with them at the appropriate time and place, players can obtain their phone numbers. At a later, specified date, the player can call the Leader and ask for a rematch. The Leader will always accept, and the battle will be fought at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

===Radio===
After acquiring a Radio Card from a quiz host at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the Radio function of the Pokégear can now be used. It allows the player to tune in to the various radio stations being broadcast from the two Radio Towers in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Goldenrod (Johto)]] and [[Lavender Town#Kanto Radio Tower|Lavender (Kanto)]]. When traveling to Kanto, however, the EXPN Card must be obtained from the manager of the Kanto Radio Tower before all Kanto stations can be played in {{v|Crystal}}, and the Poké Flute station can be played in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} versions.

The Radio usually allows the players to tune in to the local programs, allowing the player to get tips from [[Professor Oak]] and [[DJ Mary]] on Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk, or to let the player tune in to specific channels such as [[Buena's Password]] to win prizes. However, the Radio is also capable of picking up other signals within its tunable range, thereby occasionally causing weird noises to be heard such as the Mysterious Transmissions coming from the [[Ruins of Alph]], or Team Rocket's evolution-forcing signals near the [[Lake of Rage]].

During Team Rocket's takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower, all other stations were being replaced by the Team Rocket Announcement.

The Radio function also works when the Pokégear is not in use, allowing the player to play tunes from a specific radio show when on the move. Some tunes even affect how wild Pokémon appear, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, when {{DL|DJ|Ben}} from the [[Pokémon Music Channel]] occasionally broadcasts the {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Hoenn Sound}} or {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}} to allow the player to attract wild Pokémon native to [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]].

====Generation II====
[[File:PokéGearRadio.png|240px|thumb|right|The radio interface in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
In Generation II when the Radio was first introduced, the interface features an interactive box at the top right corner, consisting of a number line divided into 'channels' and a slider that is controlled by the left and right buttons. The channels range from 0 to 20.5, and when the slider reaches a correct channel, a program will play (in this case, 4.5 for Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk). Most of the screen shows the name of the program and a large space for the dialog box to appear.

The following lists the shows available in Generation II:

''See also [[Goldenrod Radio Tower#Broadcasted programs|Broadcasted programs in Goldenrod Radio Tower]].''

====Generation IV====
[[File:PokéGearRadio HGSS.png|240px|thumb|right|The bottom screen of the radio interface in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the radio function makes a return, but the interface changes much drastically from [[Generation II]]. Most of the dialog and the reception icon is now shown at the top screen, while tuning can be done at the bottom screens. Tuning is done in two ways: moving a rounded indicator around the circular area using the stylus, or by selecting one of the four buttons at the side of the circular area, which directly tunes the radio to a pre-set Radio Station. (The Mysterious Transmission and the Poké Flute have to be manually tuned using the stylus.)

Programs in HeartGold and SoulSilver are now more varied; Prof. Oak's Pokémon Talk will update the player on recent [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]], while a [[Variety Channel]] features a documentary and radio play. The broadcast timings for [[Buena's Password]] have also been changed, allowing her program to be received for one out of every three hours. Most programs are also not limited to their respective broadcast regions; the four main stations can be heard in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

The following lists the shows available in Generation IV:

==In the anime==
[[File:HGSS Pokegear anime.png|200px|right|thumb|Brock's Pokégear]]
In the anime, it is shown that the Pokégear has at least three designs, a black one, a white one, and a pink one. Several characters in the anime own Pokégears:
* {{mov|Lisa}} lent hers to Ash so that he could keep in contact with Professor Oak in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* A Pokégear under the ownership of [[Jasmine]], the [[Olivine City|Olivine]] [[Gym Leader]] made a brief appearance in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light]]''.
* {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}} and [[Vincent]] all own Pokégears. A plot point of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' is that it includes a tracking system to show where the other Pokégears currently are.
[[File:{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Pokegear|1=Pokegear black}} anime.png|200px|right|thumb|{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Misty's|1=Jimmy's}} Pokégear]]
* {{an|Misty}} also owns one, so that she can keep in contact with [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] at the [[Cerulean Gym]].
* {{an|Lyra}} owns the new version of the Pokégear, and she owns a pink model. Likewise, her friend [[Khoury]] owns a blue model.
* {{an|Brock}} received his own Pokégear at the end of ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' when he was given one by [[Khoury's father]]. It has been used fairly regularly by him since then, normally being used by Brock to track the group's location (similar to how [[Max]] did with the [[PokéNav]]).

==In the TCG==
The {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|PokéGear|88}} appears as a card in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion. The redesigned version, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokégear 3.0|96}}, appears as a card in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion.

==Trivia==
*Music from the Pokégear doesn't stop when the player uses {{m|Surf}}; however, it does stop when the player gets out of the water.
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokégear's map displays Ethan's icon's hat with black sides, however the [[Pokédex]] display Ethan's icon's hat with yellow sides. This may be a leftover from conversion from his Generation II design (where the front of his hat was all black and the back was all yellow) to his Generation IV design (where the sides of his hat are black and the middle is yemidllow).

Fusion of Fire and Water!!)'' is the 153rd episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 427th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 24, 2005 and in the United States on September 30, 2006.

== Synopsis ==
Successfully arriving at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Dome}}, {{Ash}} is flooded by many reporters and personnel [[Scott]] pops out, saying to go to the press conference. A press conference takes place with various reporters questioning Ash about his upcoming {{pkmn|battle}} in the Battle Dome. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] is grooming the [[Frontier Brain]], [[Dome Ace Tucker]], and making battle preparations. Arriving at a inner platform within the Battle Dome, Ash can easily see the battle platform from above. Team Rocket is doing their usual errands with serving the normal concessions and snacks.

The lights dim within the arena as a nearby screen illuminates displaying various information about Ash from [[Pallet Town]]. A giant plume of smoke and dust erupts in the arena as Ash makes his appearance. The arena then lightens with various colors of light as Tucker, the Frontier Brain, makes his appearance. Landing majestically atop the adjacent platform, the crowd goes hysterical. Seeing the Frontier Brain of the Battle Dome for the first time gives [[Max]] and {{an|May}} thoughts of [[Norman|their father]].

The battle about to take place, Tucker displays the coin for defeating him in this battle as he then releases both {{p|Arcanine}} and {{p|Swampert}} in a veil of fire and water. This battle will be a [[Double battle|two-on-two Pokémon battle]]. Ash analyzes Tucker's choice and then chooses to call upon {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Corphish}}. The battle quickly goes underway with Swellow launching into a devastating {{m|Quick Attack}} towards Swampert. Arcanine then rushes towards Swampert and is thrusted into the air reaching a high velocity and collides with Swellow knocking it backwards. Swellow recovers from the attack as Corphish attacks with an array of {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Swampert then jumps in front of Arcanine to shield themselves from the attack with {{m|Protect}}. [[Brock]] notes that both Pokémon support each other with Arcanine's {{stat|Speed}} and Swampert's {{stat|Defense}}.

Swellow goes for another attack flying around to reach a high speed with Arcanine running to achieve a equal speed and jumps into the air to defend against Swellow's attack. The two attacks collide thrusting Swellow backwards and forcing Arcanine to the ground unable to stop himself from the fall. Corphish sees the opening and goes for the attack with {{m|ViceGrip}} while Swampert launching a {{m|Mud Shot}} attack right behind Arcanine. Just before Arcanine and Corphish make contact, Arcanine dodges Swampert's attack with Corphish taking direct damage and slamming into the nearby wall. With both Arcanine and Swampert as battle ready then ever, will Ash come to defeat Tucker?

Scott goes to explain that Tucker is known for his astonishing battle tactics while both May and Max are surprised. Tucker thanks Ash on his battle spirit and effort but Swampert quickly resumes the battle with {{m|water Gun}}. Both Swellow and Corphish dodge this attack with Corphish thrusting towards Swampert with a devastating {{m|Crabhammer}}. Swampert retaliates with a {{m|Dynamic Punch}} as both attacks collide in a explosion of light and color. Arcanine then dashes toward Swampert to perform another aerial attack. While Swellow comes forward for the {{m|Peck}}, Arcanine launches a strategic {{m|Flamethrower}} towards Swellow but the attack is avoided with {{m|Double Team}}. Arcanine then increases its fire power with {{m|Fire Blast}}, hitting Swellow. May comments that it's like watching a contest battle.

Meanwhile, Swampert is controlling the water from the air and shaping it with a {{m|Water Pulse}} attack. Swellow dodges Arcanine's first attack, ExtremeSpeed and launches towards Arcanine once more with the second attacks making contact creating a gigantic explosion. Corphish goes for an opening with CrabHammer as Swampert forces the nearby Water Pulse towards Swellow and Corphish which collides creating a structure formed of water and ice. Arcanine launches a devastating Fire Blast within the structure rotating around creating a fusion of fire and water, Tucker's greatest of tactics.

Both Swellow and Corphish are suspended within this structure as a gigantic explosion taking place between the two forces and both Pokémon are forced towards the ground. Team Rocket is spectating the battle as neither Corphish or Swellow have enough energy to continue the battle. Both Pokémon revive with a fighting spirit greater than ever. Both Arcanine and Swampert launch a Flamethrower and {{m|Water Gun}} towards Corphish. Both attacks are diverted by Corphish's BubbleBeam attack. Swellow then thrusts towards with quick attack as Swampert uses Dynamic Punch, and just as Arcanine goes for the opening, Swellow dodges forcing Arcanine into Swampert for a direct hit. A giant plume of smoke and dust engulfs the arena. Arcanine launches another Fire Blast attack but this is again diverted by another BubbleBeam attack. Visibility is lowered by a great amount of fog lingering within the arena.

Both Arcanine and Swampert are confused of Swellow's exact location and fly towards Corphish and Swellow. Just as both attacks are to make contact, Swellow floats to the left and flies from the bottom making a direct hit with Corphish's Crabhammer and Swellow's {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Both Arcanine and Swampert are now [[unable to battle|not able to continue]] after taking the hits, granting Ash the win.

Most of the female crowd is disappointed with Tucker's loss as Tucker congratulates Ash for his victory, with the crowd crying out wildly. He mentions that he's a top tactician. As Tucker congratulates Ash, everyone begins to scream. Tucker thanks Ash for the battle. As Tucker leaves, Ash mentions that he forgot to give him the {{DL|Symbol|Tactics Symbol}}. Tucker points to the top of his hat as Ash then pulls it from atop his head and happily displays his newly obtained symbol.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Battle Frontier - Brains Lineup 3.jpg|thumb|right|Tucker in the opening.]]
* The OP animation changes a fourth time to include Tucker.
* This is the first time in the anime where {{m|Aerial Ace}} is used by a Pokémon that can't fly. In the games, many Pokémon who can learn the move have no flight-related abilities.
* [[Bill Rogers]] revealed at the Men of Anime convention that it was his intention that his dub of Tucker sounded similar to the performance of [[Kenta Miyake]], his Japanese voice.
* Music from ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' is used.

=== Errors ===
* Early reports stated that the animation directors were 玉川明洋 ''Akihiro Tamagawa'' and 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane'', though the broadcast credits only listed Masaaki Iwane. However, a comment from Iwane confirmed that Tamagawa was also an animation director, despite not being credited onscreeen. Additionally, both Akihiro Tamagawa and Masaaki Iwane were credited for 原画 ''key animation''.
* In one scene, [[Brock]] mentions that {{p|Arcanine}} can use {{m|Protect}}. However, it was {{p|Swampert}} who could use Protect, not Arcanine.

The '''Member Card''' (Japanese: '''メンバーズカード''' ''Member's Card'') is a [[key item]] available in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is only obtainable through a [[Nintendo Event]]. The Member Card allows {{player}}s to enter the Harbor Inn and travel to [[Newmoon Island]], where {{p|Darkrai}} can be obtained.

==Trivia==
*In the Member Card's description, it says that the last date marked on it was 50 years ago. On the official artwork, it is labeled "1958.12.1", exactly 50 years before the first Japanese distribution.
*When receiving it from the man in the Poké Mart, it will display its name as "Member's Card", though in the bag, it is simply "Member Card".
* Strangely, the door will not open when used a second time. This is most likely due to the fact that there is no mirage created by Darkrai to "open" the door.

Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex

2008-12-21T03:57:29Z

Jpp8: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project SpriteDex logo.png|right]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts pretaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum]. Please also read the [[Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project SpriteDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project SpriteDex aims to complete and perfect Bulbapedia's sprite library. In short, any links where images should be must be replaced with the proper image, and any sprites with white backgrounds must be made transparent. Whenever the next Generation of Pokémon games is released, the project will focus its attentions on the new sprites.

All correctly categorized game sprites can be found [[a:Category:Game_sprites|here]]. However, nontransparency is easier to detect on the individual pages for each Pokémon.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* {{u|LordArceus}} - I absolutely {{wp|hate}} nontransparent sprites.
* {{u|UltimateSephiroth}} ''(If I have time, I can help with the transparency of Silver sprites & Gen II shinies)''
* {{u|Kogoro}} - Well, since I've already fixed a few transparency issues, I guess I should add myself.
* {{u|Chocolate}} - Some of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] sprites we have are all wrong. All sprites should face the viewer, and most of the Gen. I sprites fail to do that. I fixed a lot of them in early October, and I want to help with the rest.
* {{u|ShinjiLover}}
* {{u|jpp8}} - Helping out with transparencies and resizing.

===Structure===
Much of this project's work will involve the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]]. Please make sure you know how to upload and replace images properly before doing so.

====Goals====
# To provide sprites of every Pokémon for every [[Generation]]
# To change all nontransparent sprites to transparent
#To make sure each sprite is correct in terms of size, orientation, etc.

[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]] can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
WARNING! The link above contains thousands of images, so make sure your browser can handle the loading.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. It wears a light purple tunic with a skirt and has red boxing gloves over its fists. Its enlarged shoulders give it the appearance of shoulder pads. Unlike its parallel evolution {{p|Hitmonlee}} it has a mouth and a visible separation between its body and head.

====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart. However, its appearance at first led many people to believe that it was a female species because of the light purple tunic it wears.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is its wide versatility in boxing--its major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect its fists.

Hitmonchan are well-known for their capability of {{m2|Comet Punch|lightning-fast punches}}, faster than bullet trains, that are impossible to be seen by the naked human eye. When doing this, it sometimes appears as if Hitmonchan is standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well-developed talent in quick, light blows, Hitmonchan can also throw power-packed punches. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill.

Before making contact with a target, Hitmonchan will spin its arms to increase the power of its attacks. Both its speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

Hitmonchan is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing it to work harder, it never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, it usually needs a short break after each fight it takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they aren't normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a trainer's influence. When under the possession of a [[trainer]], however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; it may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or it might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. It is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:ThePunchyPokemon.gif|thumb|right|Hitmonchan in the anime]]

Hitmonchan's first apperance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. It was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]] because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', it was owned by an obnoxious trainer that used it to attack a beached [[Ash's Lapras|Lapras]].

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between it and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was part of a group of {{Type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside it to break a rolling boulder. He later used it in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

==In the manga==
[[Bruno]] has a Hitmonchan in [[Pokémon Special]], which is capable of using {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Ice Punch}} at high calibre. Bruno remarks that Hitmonchan is like having three Pokémon in one.

{{Special|Crystal}} is later seen with a Hitmonchan in her capture team, who is capable of blindingly fast punching attacks.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan's Pokédex entry says it can punch at blinding speeds. This may refer to {{m|Bullet Punch}}, a move it can learn in Generation IV.
* Hitmonchan's National Dex number is 107. In {{wp|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Punch-Out!!}}, a boxing game made by Nintendo, the main character, Little Mac, weighs 107 pounds.
* Hitmonchan learns the most First Priority moves, with 3 out of 7 of them.
* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family to later gain a shared pre-evolution.
*Hitmonchan is one of the few Kanto natives whose Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald sprite is exactly the same as its FireRed/LeafGreen sprite.
*Hitmonchan's ability to learn the elemental punches ({{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|ThunderPunch}}) have long been considered purely novelty, given Hitmonchan's horrible Special Attack. However, Generation IV introduced the physical/special split, which made these punching moves physical, so they ran off of Hitmonchan's good Attack stat. Hitmonchan's second ability, Iron Fist, was also introduced, improving the power of Hitmonchan's punching-based moves.
*Hitmonchan can learn every single punching move except for {{m|Shadow Punch}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}} (although one could get a Hitmonchan with Dizzy Punch if the Odd Egg in Crystal hatched into a Tyrogue). It also can't learn {{m|Sucker Punch}}, though that isn't an actual punching move.
*Despite first appearing to be wearing a skirt, it is a male only species.

===Origin===
It may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Chan'' - as in {{wp|Jackie Chan}}; perhaps meaning "The monster that hits like Jackie Chan". Its name is similar to its two parallel evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. Its Japanese name is from world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. It wears a light purple tunic with a skirt and has red boxing gloves over its fists. Its enlarged shoulders give it the appearance of shoulder pads. Unlike its parallel evolution {{p|Hitmonlee}} it has a mouth and a visible separation between its body and head.

====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart. However, its appearance at first led many people to believe that it was a female species because of the light purple tunic it wears.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is its wide versatility in boxing--its major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect its fists.

Hitmonchan are well-known for their capability of {{m2|Comet Punch|lightning-fast punches}}, faster than bullet trains, that are impossible to be seen by the naked human eye. When doing this, it sometimes appears as if Hitmonchan is standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well-developed talent in quick, light blows, Hitmonchan can also throw power-packed punches. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill.

Before making contact with a target, Hitmonchan will spin its arms to increase the power of its attacks. Both its speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

Hitmonchan is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing it to work harder, it never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, it usually needs a short break after each fight it takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they aren't normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a trainer's influence. When under the possession of a [[trainer]], however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; it may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or it might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. It is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo.

==In the anime==
[[Image:ThePunchyPokemon.gif|thumb|right|Hitmonchan in the anime]]

Hitmonchan's first apperance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. It was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]] because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', it was owned by an obnoxious trainer that used it to attack a beached [[Ash's Lapras|Lapras]].

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between it and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was part of a group of {{Type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside it to break a rolling boulder. He later used it in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

==In the manga==
[[Bruno]] has a Hitmonchan in [[Pokémon Special]], which is capable of using {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Ice Punch}} at high calibre. Bruno remarks that Hitmonchan is like having three Pokémon in one.

{{Special|Crystal}} is later seen with a Hitmonchan in her capture team, who is capable of blindingly fast punching attacks.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan's Pokédex entry says it can punch at blinding speeds. This may refer to {{m|Bullet Punch}}, a move it can learn in Generation IV.
* Hitmonchan's National Dex number is 107. In {{wp|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Punch-Out!!}}, a boxing game made by Nintendo, the main character, Little Mac, weighs 107 pounds.
* Hitmonchan learns the most First Priority moves, with 3 out of 7 of them.
* Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family to later gain a shared pre-evolution.
*Hitmonchan is one of the few Kanto native's whose Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald sprite is exactly the same as its FireRed/LeafGreen sprite.
*Hitmonchan's ability to learn the elemental punches ({{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Ice Punch}}, and {{m|ThunderPunch}}) have long been considered purely novelty, given Hitmonchan's horrible Special Attack. However, Generation IV introduced the physical/special split, which made these punching moves physical, so they ran off of Hitmonchan's good Attack stat. Hitmonchan's second ability, Iron Fist, was also introduced, improving the power of Hitmonchan's punching-based moves.
*Hitmonchan can learn every single punching move except for {{m|Shadow Punch}} and {{m|Dizzy Punch}} (although one could get a Hitmonchan with Dizzy Punch if the Odd Egg in Crystal hatched into a Tyrogue). It also can't learn {{m|Sucker Punch}}, though that isn't an actual punching move.
*Despite first appearing to be wearing a skirt, it is a male only species.

===Origin===
It may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan's name can be broken down into ''hit'', ''monster'' and ''Chan'' - as in {{wp|Jackie Chan}}; perhaps meaning "The monster that hits like Jackie Chan". Its name is similar to its two parallel evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. Its Japanese name is from world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. It wears a light purple tunic with a skirt and has red boxing gloves over its fists. Its enlarged shoulders give it the appearance of shoulder pads. Unlike its parallel evolution {{p|Hitmonlee}} it has a mouth and a visible separation between its body and head.

====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart. However, its appearance at first led many people to believe that it was a female species because of the light purple tunic it wears.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is its wide versatility in boxing--its major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect its fists.

Hitmonchan are well-known for their capability of {{m2|Comet Punch|lightning-fast punches}}, faster than bullet trains, that are impossible to be seen by the naked human eye. When doing this, it sometimes appears as if Hitmonchan is standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well-developed talent in quick, light blows, Hitmonchan can also throw power-packed punches. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill.

Before making contact with a target, Hitmonchan will spin its arms to increase the power of its attacks. Both its speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

Hitmonchan is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Vacuum Wave}}.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing it to work harder, it never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, it usually needs a short break after each fight it takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they aren't normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a trainer's influence. When under the possession of a [[trainer]], however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; it may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or it might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. It is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:ThePunchyPokemon.gif|thumb|right|Hitmonchan in the anime]]

Hitmonchan's first apperance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. It was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]] because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', it was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', it was owned by an obnoxious trainer that used it to attack a beached [[Ash's Lapras|Lapras]].

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between it and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was part of a group of {{Type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside it to break a rolling boulder. He later used it in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

==In the manga==
[[Bruno]] has a Hitmonchan in [[Pokémon Special]], which is capable of using {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}} and {{m|Ice Punch}} at high calibre. Bruno remarks that Hitmonchan is like having three Pokémon in one.

{{Special|Crystal}} is later seen with a Hitmonchan in her capture team, who is capable of blindingly fast punching attacks.

Marowak first appeared in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'' under the ownership of [[Otoshi]], who had recently got his gym [[badge]]s stolen by [[Team Rocket]]. The Marowak left Otoshi because it felt that if he lost his badges, he lost the respect Marowak had for him. Marowak finally decided to come back and help its trainer when he battled Team Rocket to get his badges back.

[[Luana]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Kumquat Island]], used a Marowak and an {{p|Alakazam}} against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}} in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''.

During the first round of the [[Hoenn League]] in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', [[Morrison]]'s opponent, [[Gavin]], used a Marowak and a {{p|Machamp}} against Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Growlithe}}. Gavin's Marowak defeated Morrison's Growlithe and was defeated by Morrison's Gligar.

In ''[[AG175|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'', a Pokémon trainer used a Marowak in a fake tournament that was created by Team Rocket.

At the start of ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'', [[Jessie]] faced an a opponent with a Marowak. It defeated her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}.

==In the manga==
[[Super Nerd]] William used a Marowak in {{PSV|4}} of [[Pokémon Special]] to attack {{Special|Yellow}} using its {{m|Bonemerang}}.

==In the TCG==

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]] and {{v2|Yellow}}: Marowak was killed by agents of [[Team Rocket]], leaving a {{p|Cubone}} as an orphan. With the [[Silph Scope]], its ghost could be seen in [[Pokémon Tower]]. It cannot be caught. After being KOed in a battle, its soul finally managed to rest and allow the player to access the top floor.

==Trivia==
* Marowak's original English name was going to be "Guardia," which is "guardian" without the "n".
* The back sprite of Marowak in [[Generation I]] shows it has bone-like spikes on its back. This has been dropped in later generations.
* With the use of the [[Stat-enhancing item#Thick Club|Thick Club]], Marowak's attack stat doubles to 160, tieing it for third highest base attack with {{p|Slaking}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.

===Origin===
It may be based on the Aboriginal people who throw boomerangs to catch food

====Name origin====
Marowak's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|marrow}}'' and ''whack''. ''Garagara'' may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that ''garagara'' denotes heavier clattering than {{p2|Cubone|''karakara''}}.

==In other languages==

'''Dewgong''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュゴン''' ''Jugon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
It resembles a seal. Its body is extremely streamlined. It's streamlined allows Dewgong to swim up to 8 knots, even in bitterly cold waters. It's fins are larger and stronger and it's tail more devoloped than {{p2|Seel|Seel's}}. It's long tail is able to change swimming direction quickly, when needed. It is covered in pure white coat of fur that obscures it from view of predators, when in the snow. It also has a layer of [[Thick Fat]], that allows it to store thermal energy and protects it from intensely cold water and air.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Dewgong can either have the abilities [[Thick Fat]] or [[Hydration]]

===Behavior===
Dewgong are very active in bitterly cold tempretures. At night, Dewgong go out hunting for food, after sleeping most of the day. It loves to sleep under shallow ocean waters or on ice floes.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]] Dewgong usually live in frigid seas filled with ice floes.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Nice Pryce Baby.jpg|thumb|left|[[Pryce|Pryce's]] Dewgong.]]
The Seel belonging to the [[Cerulean Gym]] evolved into [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Dewgong]] in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

A Dewgong was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

A Dewgong has also been used by [[Pryce]] in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.
 

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Dewgong in [[Pokémon Special]]. It is capable of using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create paths of solid ice on which it moves, similar to {{wp|Iceman (comics)|Iceman}}.

In Volume 4 of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Rudy]]'s sister is seen drowning with a Dewgong instead of a Seel like in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Trivia==
*"Manaty" was the original English name for Dewgong.
*Dewgong is the first {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
*In the past, a mariner mistook a sleeping Dewgong to be a mermaid.
*Its [[Generation I]] back sprite doesn't look at all like it.
===Origin===
Dewgong is based on a {{wp|seal (animal|seal}}, sea lion, or manatee.
====Name origin====
Dewgong's name is a corruption of ''{{wp|dugong}}'', which is a relative of the {{wp|manatee}}, although it appears to have more in common with a {{wp|sea lion}} than a sea cow. ''Jugon'' is also a corruption of ''dugong''. The ''dew'' could also be intended to refer to the water found in mist.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Jugong
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Lamantine - ''Lamantin'' means manatee.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 쥬레곤 ''Jyuregon''

'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, and its made of toughened bone. Seel lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its thick {{a2|Thick Fat|blubber}}.

This hide of fat looks like its covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue, that gives it a sea-water tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time.

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

===Special abilities===
Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. It {{a2|Hydration|becomes healthier when it rains}}. Its course hair can trap water and hair to conserve body heat.

===Behavior===
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the sea bed, however it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it's exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold seas, such as in the Arctic, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SeelAnime.jpg|thumb|right|A group of Seel in the anime]]Multiple [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Seel]] are owned by [[Misty]] and her sisters at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

A Seel appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', under the ownership of [[Rudy]]'s sister [[Mahri]].

A Seel is also briefly seen in ''[[AG190|Once More With Reeling!]]'', in the [[Terracotta Town]] contest. It created an ice sculpture of a {{p|Glalie}} using {{m|Ice Beam}}.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Seel is the first Pokémon [[Lorelei]] owned. As a child, Lorelei saw her Seel become poisoned due to the effects of nearby industrialization. [[Agatha]], who was passing by, healed the Seel using her {{p|Gastly}}. This encounter with the negative effects that humanity had on Pokémon would be the motivation Lorelei had to join the [[Elite Four]] in a plot to destroy all humanity years later.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Seel is a Pokéfloat. After the second half of {{p|Venusaur}} is revealed, the screen moves continually to the right without stopping and so fighting does not stay on Seel for very long.

'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, and its made of toughened bone. Seel lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its thick {{a2|Thick Fat|blubber}}.

This hide of fat looks like its covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue, that gives it a sea-water tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time.

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

===Special abilities===
Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. It {{a2|Hydration|becomes healthier when it rains}}. Its course hair can trap water and hair to conserve body heat.

===Behavior===
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the sea bed, however it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it's exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold seas, such as in the Arctic, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:SeelAnime.jpg|thumb|right|A group of Seel in the anime]]Multiple [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Seel]] are owned by [[Misty]] and her sisters at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

A Seel appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', under the ownership of [[Rudy]]'s sister [[Mahri]].

A Seel is also briefly seen in ''[[AG190|Once More With Reeling!]]'', in the [[Terracotta Town]] contest. It created an ice sculpture of a {{p|Glalie}} using {{m|Ice Beam}}.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Seel is the first Pokémon [[Lorelei]] owned. As a child, Lorelei saw her Seel become poisoned due to the effects of nearby industrialization. [[Agatha]], who was passing by, healed the Seel using her {{p|Gastly}}. This encounter with the negative effects that humanity had on Pokémon would be the motivation Lorelei had to join the [[Elite Four]] in a plot to destroy all humanity years later.

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

==Other appearances==

==In the anime==
[[Image:Machamp anime.jpg|right|thumb|A Machamp from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.]]
[[Giovanni]], the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the gym.

A Machamp was used by [[Raymond]] to battle [[Ash's Squirtle]] during the opening of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].

A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''. It loses to [[Ash's Snorlax]] in the semifinals.

[[Morrison]] battled against a Machamp and {{p|Marowak}} belonging to a very muscular Trainer named [[Gavin]] during the Hoenn League in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.

A Machamp belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

In ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]'', {{ka|Emily}} used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway {{p|Psyduck}}.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Green}} has a Machamp that evolved when it was under {{Special|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trading|trade]]. It was later seen in {{PSV|3}}, fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Green's {{p|Rhydon}} in {{PSV|13}}.

Green later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]].

[[Image:MachampBelt.jpg|right|thumb|The 'P' on Machoke's belt is the same as Machamp's.]]
* Machamp's original English name was Ju-Doh.
* Machamp's belt has the letter 'P' on it.
*As depicted in Machamp's [[Generation I]] sprite, it originally had one 'ridge' on its head and two horns. This seems to have been dropped for three ridges instead. This can be easily seen in Machamp's back sprite.
* The [[Generation III|Gen III]] sprites don't have a belt on it.
* In [[Pokémon Yellow]], a NPC will trade a Cubone for Machoke, which will then evolve to Machamp.
* Strangely, Machamp's Generation I back sprite seems not to have four arms.
* Machamp, hindered by low base speed, would not have made the new [[Tiers|OU tier]] had it not been for it's abiltity No Guard.

===Origin===
Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tenshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tenshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms.
====Name origin====
Machamp's name may be a combination of ''champion'' and ''macho'', which is {{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for overly masculine or chauvinist. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like {{p|Mr. Mime}}, this is not reflected in the gender distribution. ''Kairiky'' is a corruption of 怪力 ''kairiki'', superhuman strength. It is worth noting that ''kairiki'' is the Japanese name of {{m|Strength}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Machomei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mackogneur - ''Macho'' has a similar meaning as in English. ''Cogneur'' means slugger. The ''ch'' was likely replaced by the ''ck'' to keep the sound of ''cogneur'' intact.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 괴력몬 ''Gwiryeokmon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 怪力 - Literally "Strange Strength"

==In the anime==
[[Image:Machamp anime.jpg|right|thumb|A Machamp from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.]]
[[Giovanni]], the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the gym.

A Machamp was used by [[Raymond]] to battle [[Ash's Squirtle]] during the opening of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].

A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''. It loses to [[Ash's Snorlax]] in the semifinals.

[[Morrison]] battled against a Machamp and {{p|Marowak}} belonging to a very muscular Trainer named [[Gavin]] during the Hoenn League in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.

A Machamp belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

In ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]'', {{ka|Emily}} used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway {{p|Psyduck}}.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Green}} has a Machamp that evolved when it was under {{Special|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trading|trade]]. It was later seen in {{PSV|3}}, fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Green's {{p|Rhydon}} in {{PSV|13}}.

Green later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]].

Hello! Welcome to my user page. I am jigglyppuff8 or jpp8 for short. I am a member of Youtube and Smash World Forums a.k.a. Smashboards. I immensely enjoy playing the Super Smash Brothers series and nintendo published games in general. Outside of Smash, I enjoy playing the Pokemon series the most because it scratches my intellectual itch with every little calculation taken into consideration. (If I wanted to play a real "game", I'd pick up a Mario game ;) ). Obviously, because of Smash, my favorite Pokemon is Jigglypuff. I'm also, nitpicky with grammar and spelling mistakes on the internet so I've been making small edits unregistered and I hope to contribute more now. Also, User: profiles are kinda cool.
