==Title defence==
"''It is assumed that the Champion must defend their title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.''"

What about when you fight Blue in R/B. They say he's the champion, then you have to fight him to become champion, you beat him and oh noes he is no longer the top-dog. That looks to me like a title defence. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:39, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As someone else noted in another article - the problem with that is FireRed and LeafGreen alone - where when you fight the Elite Four the second time (and in terms of the story - they recognize it's the second time, too) and Blue is the champion agian. - Zeta

That is a problem. But to me that would say that in the game, that it's possible to have more than one champion at the same time, no? Or maybe Game Freak just screwed up. Maybe the translators screwed up, does the original Japanese version share the same not-champion, now-chamption mixup? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:56, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What I don't understand is why, in the games, the main goals are: catch all Pokémon, and '''BECOME THE CHAMPION'''. Yet when you beat the Elite Four/Champion, you can go back and re-chalenge the Champion, even though the game '''says''' you are the Champ, and the Champion has the same speech and is called '''"Champion''' *blank*". It is a '''HUGE''' loophole in the games. Why not retire the old Champ or have them say that you are the Champ now in their pre-battle speech? [[User:GuyNamedSean|GuyNamedSean]] 02:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameplayAndStorySegregation Sometimes things that should happen don't, because it's a game. It's better if there's a always high-level opponent that you can challenge at any time]. Because of that, they're not going to ''retire'' the game champ. But not changing the speech? Yeah, that's laziness. Apparently you're supposed to make the assumption that the game champion immediately sweeps the Elite Four again once you leave?--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 04:13, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

== Obvious rename ==

Let's rename this to "Pokémon League Champion"; "Pokémon champion" sounds like it is describing someone who is a champion at something else, like contests or Battle Tower. In other words, Pokémon League Champion=moreo specifico. [[User:PH1RESTRIKE|PH1RESTRIKE]] 02:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== Oak ==

Didn't proffesser oak win the first pokemon league in the pokespe manga?- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Lunick v sonela}} ([[User talk:Lunick v sonela|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lunick v sonela|contribs]]) ''

::I also vote for merging, and that the Trainer Class page should be removed. The new page should be named "Pokémon Champion". 'Coz I dun see a "Boss (Trainer class)" page.

:::OK then. Due to absolutely no objection on either talk page, and absolutely no clear reason to have the pages separate, I'm going to combine these pages like Gym Leader was.

== Red ==
Wasn't he explicitly stated as a champion? He took Blue out of his role and became champion for a period. Shouldn't he be stated, for the games? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 17:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
:True, but he is already covered by "* {{player|The player}} of [[Pallet Town]], [[New Bark Town]], [[Littleroot Town]], or [[Twinleaf Town]] (depending) - All games, once defeating the previous Champion". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Isn't N technically the champion for a short time? He beat Alder, and then is defeated by the player. [[User:Sennen Goroshi|Sennen Goroshi]] 01:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
:Reviving since I just got to that point in the game, and yeah, Alder lost to N, so wouldn't he technically count as a Champion? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 17:32, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Well not nessciarily (sorry for the spelling ) but the battle they had wasn't an "official" battle because he would have to beat the elite four and be "eligible" (get 8 or more badges) to even get a chance at the title.--[[User:Glalie Power|Glalie Power]] ([[User talk:Glalie Power|talk]]) 23:51, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

== Picture? ==

I uploaded a picture of the six main series Champions' official art arranged to have them standing in a group. The revision of this page that included the picture was almost instantaneously undone and the uploaded file was subsequently deleted (due to not being currently in use on any page). So, tempted though I am, before I take matters back into my own hands: Would such a picture be a good addition to the page?

:::2) It's a mix of the existing pictures in Archives.
:::3) We don't really need them mixed, if you want their picture, then just go to the article of said Champion.
:::4) The quality varies, I'm not sure it should be an option to do this now.

== Anime Champions ==

Was it ever mentioned that winning the Pokémon League makes you that region's Champion in the anime? Tobias and Cynthia seem to be extremely different cases. In fact, I would think that winning the league would allow access to the Champion League, which as far as I understand it, is an invite-only tournament for Elite Four members, the regional Champion, and probably "Sinnoh League Victors" to compete in. That is speculation, but so is assuming that winning the league automatically makes them the Champion. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
:No from what I remember in the anime Ash only got a cup when he won a League. It seems like a yearly event. Then next year another winner is crowned and given the cup. I dunno if they obtain the title of "Champion". Also the definition of "Champion" in the anime has not been explained well. All they keep saying is that they are the best trainer in the region yet. They don't seem to have any special role with the Pokemon League unlike the Gym Leaders (Cynthia is an example). [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:06, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

== All champions' music remixed. ==

It says that [[Blue (game)|Blue]]'s Champion music was remixed for B/W (and it was) for the battle with the "top trainer" of the Battle Subway. My problem with this is: define "top trainer." [[User:Pokered4000|Pokered4000]] 03:07, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

== VS Banners ==

I believe this page should use the VS Banner sprites for the pictures. I have a few reasons. One, they were used when the Champions were on the Elite Four page, and two, this will make them match the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains pages. (Also, I know that Steven and Wallace don't have VS Banners, but hopefully they will eventually.) Also on a somewhat related note, the Champion page should be added to The Pokemon League box that has links to all the main articles about the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, etc. I was not sure where to post that so I put it here. So if someone that can would be so kind as to do those things, I would really appreciate it. If you have any reasons as to why it shouldn't be done also I'd be interested to hear them.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 20:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

==Pokémon Champions in Adventures==
Shouldn't Cynthia and Alder be included? In [[PS431|Different Dimensions Battle I]] Cynthia's grandmother scolds her for thinking that becoming a Champion means one doesn't need to train anymore. And Alder is the reigning Champion (at least according to Black). [[User:Ariano|Ariano]] ([[User talk:Ariano|talk]]) 19:40, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

== Is Red a Champion? ==

''"In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Cynthia tells the player that once every few years, the Champions from all the regions come together and battle to find the strongest among them. In the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, which takes place 2 years later, all the Champions the player battles in previous games participate in the tournament, '''as well as {{ga|Red}}'''."''

This contradicts the table below, as this part of the sentence implies Red is not a Champion. The table has Red included, even though it implies he is not in that sentence. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Something from a random NPC inside of a house in Viridian City from HGSS:

''You go all over the place and battle all kinds of Trainers. This is not just to train your Pokémon. This is also a chance too experience many things yourself. I bet the '''Champion from Pallet Town''' went to all the cities and towns in Kanto.''

He's clearly talking about Red, since in the remake they don't keep things about Red secret like in the original GSC, and just the fact that he's in the Champions Tournament of the World Tournament should tell you even more that he is a Champion. [[User:Lamarfll|Lamarfll]] ([[User talk:Lamarfll|talk]]) 02:09, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

==Red as Champion==
I think we can all establish the fact that there is canon evidence to support Red being Champion (eg. HG/SS reference, actual Champion title given, he can be fought, etc.). However, the only problem I have with this piece of information as it is would be the location. Red shouldn't be under Indigo Plateau, rather it should be Mt. Silver because he is not fought in Indigo Plateau itself. He shouldn't be categorized with Blue and Lance. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 03:23, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

:To put something on top, "The player has always met the Champion before challenging the Elite Four"? I don't remember seeing him in GSCHGSS before Mt. Silver. Shouldn't we correct that? [[User:TeudowEthan|TeudowEthan]] ([[User talk:TeudowEthan|talk]]) 08:20, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
::Red is not the Champion in GSC/HGSS. He was the Champion at one point, but now Lance holds that title. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

== Name. ==

Blue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgNm2WZtGWY#t=7m52s refers] to himself as "League Champ" in FRLG. Oddly enough, seconds later he refers to the player as "Pokémon League Champion". [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 20:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

== N as Champion? ==

Just out of curiosity, would N be canonically considered a Champion? He DOES beat Alder himself in Black and White, and you do have to fight him as (one of) the final boss after beating the Elite Four. I think he would fall under the same category as Blue, being a Champion only temporarily, and like Red, not listed as a Champion when fought. These are just my thoughts, but I'd like to know what you guys think. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 19:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

:Quote from N just after he defeated Alder:
::''"It's over! Never again will Pokémon be made to suffer or be held captive by humans. It's all thanks to my friend, Zekrom/Reshiram! You may have the title of Champion… But you can't stop me with just a title. Your soft heart has left you weak. Years ago, you lost your Pokémon, your partner, to sickness. In order to forget the pain in your heart, you wandered Unova… Who knows how long it's been since you've had to fight with your full strength? I actually kind of like that about you, though. As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion, I shall issue an order across Unova: Trainers of the world, free your Pokémon!"'''
:This seems to indicate that while he defeated Alder, he chose not to be Champion. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, but you can't choose to be champion. I think the champion is the strongest trainer in the region, or in the case of Indigo, regions. Basically, the champion is whoever defeats the last champion. I think while Alder had the legal title of Champion, but N was the true champion- he just didin't formalize it. I think it's sorta like how Lance is Champion in G/S/C/HG/SS, but Red is obviously stronger and was known to have beaten Lance a few years before. Maybe we should just include both of them. [[User:Unsuspectingfool|uNsUsPeCtInG fOoL]] ([[User talk:Unsuspectingfool|talk]]) 18:38, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

:I don't think we should add him unless something explicitly says he's considered a champion to be honest. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 18:43, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

::The Champion is not necessarily the strongest Trainer in the region, it's just the one who currently retains the title, who gets it through Pokémon League protocol. I don't believe N collected 8 Badges, so while he defeated the Elite Four, he wouldn't qualify to become Champion anyway (and he let Alder keep the title). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:30, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

:::I know this isn't the newest thing ever, but I'd like to point out some things in favour of him being a storyline champion, like Red. I don't believe N would force his way through the Gates that check for badges, nor would he evade them. As you remember, he truly believed he was doing right, and he clearly didn't try and be a criminal, and I doubt he would enter the league without the badges. My second point being in the Super Music Collection for Pokemon Black and White, his battle theme is listed as "決戦", which translates to Decisive Battle. This title is only ever used by Champion Steven and N. Thoughts? [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 05:25, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

::::The "''far outmatching the Champion''" phrase seems pretty clear. It's never been stated you're not allowed to refuse the title anyway.
::::The name of the battle theme can be explained by the fact that the guy just summoned his [[N's Castle|Castle]] to [[N#In the games|attach]] to the Pokémon League, and that you're battling his {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} with your {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}}, putting each others' beliefs on the line for the future of Unova.
::::So my thinking is:
::::'''Did he have all the Badges?'''
:::::→ '''No:''' If you're thinking you're gonna save the world, then Badges can probably wait. It's very possible for him to have said <nowiki>'</nowiki>''look over there!''<nowiki>'</nowiki>, and then storming in.
:::::→ '''Yes, did he know that makes you the Champion?'''
::::::→ '''No:''' He's ignorant.
::::::→ '''Yes:''' He refused it. ''(the currently accepted solution)''
::::--'''[[User:Det|Det]][[User talk:Det|talk]]''' 19:08, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

:::::Keep in mind that the entirety of N's Castle is past thee Badge Check Gates; N was raised on the other side of them, so going between the main region and his home would not be necessarily intentionally evading them. The entirety of Team Plasma, even those who followed Rood and N in B2W2 and actually loved Pokémon, was past the Badge Check Gates, so I don't think it is appropriate to think about the members evading the gates as much as just having their base of operations past them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:24, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

::::::Well, it was and it wasn't. I think you're overlooking the fact that the [[N's Castle|Castle]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifikhFHOcpk&t=1m58s dug out] from ''behind'' what was the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Pokémon League]], and let's stress that: it was ''underground''. So this doesn't necessarily mean the entirety of [[Team Plasma]] were some mole men digging into the surface, climbing past the back wall of the Pokémon League, negligently passing [[Alder]], the guards and the difficult terrained [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Victory Road]] on their evil missions to do evil deeds to good people.

::::::If the whole Castle can levitate that easily, I'm betting it has some kind of highly advanced, energy-efficient undetectable excavation system as well.

::Are you mocking his intelligence, too? --'''[[User:Det|Det]][[User talk:Det|talk]]''' 18:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

:::Whose intelligence am I mocking? O.o N beat the current Champion, and even if he denounced the title, it's still his. Then the player beats him and then beats Adler. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 18:43, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

::::Like I said, he either didn't have all the badges to qualify for the title, or if he did, the phrase "As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion" either means he's ignorant enough not to know that or he refused the title (e.g. being against the whole ideology).

== If Red is considered a champion, shouldn't all protagonists be considered champions as well? ==

After you beat the champion in any game technically you are the new champion. So, shouldn't the other protagonists be put on the list of champions?

I can't really think of a reason why Red is the only one there except you can actually met him in game unlike other protagonists. Still, that shouldn't exclude other character from the list.

I think Red should be put in another list. A "non-active champion" section, since Red never actually plays the role of the champion in any of the games (unless you count the Pokemon World Tournament which I don't because a champion's main role is to be the final challenger in the Pokemon League and the PWT isn't a part of that).

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ponyta}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Rapidash is an equine Pokémon with four slender legs and black hooves. Its body is cream-colored, and it has a horn on its forehead. It also has small red eyes and pointed ears with red insides. Red and orange flames stream from neck, part of its back, and its fetlocks. Flames also form this Pokémon's tail.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It runs at about {{tt|150 mph|240 km/h}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash go, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it can also be seen on mountains.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], it was revealed that Rapidash was to keep its romanized Japanese name 'Gallop'.
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* Rapidash and Infernape were the only fully evolved fire type pokemon in Sinnoh during diamond and pearl

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it more closely resembles a regular {{wp|horse}}. Rapidash and its {{p|Ponyta|pre-evolution}} may also be based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those of the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of Norse mythology, and the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in Hindu myth.

====Name origin====
Rapidash may be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''ash'' (referencing its Fire type).

Gallop is literally ''gallop'', a form of running for hoofed animals.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ponyta}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Rapidash is an equine Pokémon with four slender legs and black hooves. Its body is cream-colored, and it has a horn on its forehead. It also has small red eyes and pointed ears with red insides. Red and orange flames stream from neck, part of its back, and its fetlocks. Flames also form this Pokémon's tail.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It runs at about {{tt|150 mph|240 km/h}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash go, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it can also be seen on mountains.

==Trivia==
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], it was revealed that Rapidash was to keep its romanized Japanese name 'Gallop'.
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* Rapidash and Infernape were the only fire pokemon in Sinnoh during diamond and pearl

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it more closely resembles a regular {{wp|horse}}. Rapidash and its {{p|Ponyta|pre-evolution}} may also be based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those of the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of Norse mythology, and the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in Hindu myth.

====Name origin====
Rapidash may be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''ash'' (referencing its Fire type).

Gallop is literally ''gallop'', a form of running for hoofed animals.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ponyta}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Rapidash is an equine Pokémon with four slender legs and black hooves. Its body is cream-colored, and it has a horn on its forehead. It also has small red eyes and pointed ears with red insides. Red and orange flames stream from neck, part of its back, and its fetlocks. Flames also form this Pokémon's tail.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It runs at about {{tt|150 mph|240 km/h}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash go, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, a feature which is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it can also be seen on mountains.

==Trivia==
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], it was revealed that Rapidash was to keep its romanized Japanese name 'Gallop'.
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* Rapidash and Infernape were the only fire pokemon in Sinnoh during diamond and pearl

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it more closely resembles a regular {{wp|horse}}. Rapidash and its {{p|Ponyta|pre-evolution}} may also be based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those of the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of Norse mythology, and the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in Hindu myth.

====Name origin====
Rapidash may be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs. It could also be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''ash'' (referencing its Fire type).

Gallop is literally ''gallop'', a form of running for hoofed animals.

==In other languages==

::::::::I heard it before. But that was when it was refering to the Groudon in jirachi movie

:::::::::They are all generally recognised as a set of unique pokemon with a few exceptions to each. (e.g. Garchomp's national pokedex number). However, the fan-term 'pseudo-legendary' in itself only actually refers to their final stages. (Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp).

== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

Isn't it a BST of 600? [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

It seems to me that everyone who commented on this page, other than Shiny Noctowl, was dumbfounded as to the article's title and definition therein. For pages dealing with fanon terminology, this is a good sign that something has been done '''wrong'''; fanon terms are ''necessarily'' known to a large number of fans, as opposed to a select few, or in this case - no more than one.

Furthemore, the page (prior to my editing it) included mentions of Pokémon with legendary characteristics, despite their having nothing to do with the suggested definiton of pseudo-legendary. It was also a mere copy-and-paste of the corresponding section on the [[Legendary]] page. Now, as for the definition itself, it should be crystal-clear that the powerhouses, as defined by myself, are ''distinct'' in their categorization from any other Pokémon ({{p|Flygon}}, for the sake of discussion). Simply put, they are non-legendary Pokémon whose total base stats is 600, which is a great deal higher than Flygon's 520 (see the trivia paragraph for clarification on {{p|Slaking}}). Besides, what makes Flygon any more special than {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Walrein}} and the 7 fully-evolved, two-typed starters? All of these match the definition used by Shiny Noctowl. I do hope that competitive usage is not the reason, because {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Infernape}} clearly outweigh Flygon in that regard.

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

::You can see my comments on the article's name further below. Now, the explanation for my excluding Flygon should be quite obvious from the pieces of trivia; Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross and Garchomp have more in common than what you listed in your definition, and in fact, they have more in common than just my addition to that definition (a total base stats of 600). Flygon does not share that common denominator; what it does share with the aforementioned five is also shared by ''at the very least'' Walrein and Aggron, who are part of a three-stage line, have two types, require nearly as much experience to reach their form, and have an even higher total of base stats (530). If the only reason for which you included Flygon but excluded those two is that you thought only Flygon was available strictly in its first form, then you thought wrong: In Generation III Sealeo and Walrein are also not available in the wild; in Generation IV both Vibrava and Sealeo are available (incidentally, Lairon is not).

::But all of that is irrelevant, since neither Flygon nor Walrein (nor Aggron, for that matter) has enough in common with the powerhouses/pseudo-legendaries so as to be added to the group. It is enough to require a total base stats of 600 to limit the group to the five relevant ones (a respectable addition in and of itself), but again, their common denominator is even greater than that. Look at the trivia and see it for yourself. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

::First of all, my ''true'' gripe was with the contents of the article; redirecting the article to a new title was primarily symbolic of the reshifting of its underlying ideas. However, I would like to point out the irony in the statement that powerhouse is too broad a term spanning just about every overused Pokémon - the same can be said of pseudo-legendary, as evidenced by the fact that this article originally contained a separate list of Pokémon with legendary characteristics!

::Furthermore, I personally feel that ''pseudo-legendary'' should be used to describe only two Pokémon that are not even mentioned in the article: {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Phione}}. ''Legendary'' alludes to mystery and nature or universe-controlling abilities; this article deals with battle prowess, for which legendaries are certainly well known, but it takes second place to their aura. Besides, some legendaries are not as battle-competent as the pseudo-legendaries/powerhouses in the article - practically all tweleve members of the legendary trios, and arguably some others. This comparison holds in base stats (the legendary trio all have a total of 580, which is lower than 600), but even an in-depth comparison on a competitive level leads to the same conclusion, at least generally. Therefore, is it justified to attach the name ''pseudo-legendary'' to a definition that highlights the battle prowess of Pokémon that are actually stronger than some legendaries? On the other hand, Unown and Phione are indeed pseudo-legendary if the term is taken to mean a Pokémon whose aura is associated with a true legendary ({{p|Suicune}} in Unown's case and {{p|Manaphy}} in Phione's).

::But I digress, as I do agree that if ''pseudo-legendary'' is more frequently used by the fandom to describe the group in question, then it should be used for the purposes of discussing a fanon term.

::One last thing - I appreciate Politoed666's token of solidarity. I don't mind reversions to my own edits, especially when done by another sysop, but it isn't my idea of showing respect; it would have been better to wait a bit longer in case I had arguments to present. I only wonder why the same level of urgency was not taken to revise the contents of the article in its original format, when it obviously needed re-working. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with certain points made by Unown Lord. Perhaps the overall issue with the term "pseudo-legendary" is the usage of "legendary." There are Pokémon that are "legendary" which do have certain exclusive characteristics, and applying the term to another group has its drawbacks. While the term may certain have specific applications to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon it is difficult to draw a completely defined line, contrary to the case with legendary Pokémon. The debate over which Pokémon "qualify" has no feasible ending point, as fans will always stick to their opinion concerning which ones "deserve" to be included. Sure, we have limits on Bulbapedia but in spite of this fact, there is still such an issue, as we can see from this very page. Honestly, I have no problem with the term, despite how vague it is and the supposed difficulty adhering to its guidelines. My wife on the other hand, disagrees with its usage for many of the reasons I mention. [[User:Deviant Audio|Deviant Audio]] 16:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

Doesn't that seem a little subjective? I mean sure they all have that but that doesn't mean a future Pokemon of similar psuedo-legend status will have that total. Plus with these Pokemon it could just be coincidence they all have 600. Having 600 total might have been how it happened for all of them, but I just don't seem it as a ''requirement'' per se. Just that that's how it happened. Toastypk 03:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not really. The psuedo-legends were most likely designed so that their stats WOULD total 600. The only likely exception would be Dragonite due to Special Attack/Defence being a single stat in Generation 1, but it was probably reworked to total 600 in Generation 2. It's hardly likely to be coincedence that their base stats all total 600. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 16:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

== Available only as their first form. ==

The article states that "Most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form. However, Dragonair is also obtainable in the wild in most games where Dratini is (all but Pokémon Red, Green and Blue). Likewise, Pupitar is available in the wild in Crystal. Gabite is found in Victory Road in Platinum."

However, with the addition of Platinum, Gabite can be found in the wild. This means that no, only 2 out of the 5 of them are only found in their first form in the wild. I honestly don't think that something like that should be included in the article, since when was 2 out of 5 "most", or even noteworthy? You could say that all 5 of them have the colour blue on them somewhere, but is that noteworthy?

I'd have already removed it, but the page is protected. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 22:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

On all the pseudo legendaries, there is a trivia entry stating that they have the second highest base stat total behind slaking. It then goes on to say how it's tied with the other pseudo legendaries etc etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just not have this? I mean there's already a link to the pseudo legendary page (here) at the top of the page, and it explains here that they all have the same base stat total etc. Just seems redundant to me and pointless trivia.

Should the part about 600 stat total be changed to something like "at least 600"? Yes there is nothing like that now, but if in future generations something with 630 total ''does'' show up it would be better to be prepared now then argue about it when something comes up.--[[user:Mtn otter|Mtn otter]] We are the Void 14:13, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== Garchomp's location in the pokedex ==

Stated in the characteristics section, it says that Garchomp's evolution line is not next to any notable pokemon. However, I disagree: Before Gible is Spiritomb, a pokemon that is considered semi-legendary by fans, since it can only be caught once under special conditions in the wild. Should we reword that sentence to include this information? {{Unsigned|AuraGaurdian}}

== Two types really necessary? ==

I'd say the defining feature is the 600 BST. The page, in more than one place, describes the fact that pseudolegendaries have two types as though you couldn't, even in theory, have a pseudolegendary without it, but is that so? Obviously, all the pseudos that currently exist have two types (and we should mention that fact, don't get me wrong), but wouldn't we just adjust our definition if they (hypothetically) introduced a monotype pseudo in the sixth generation? I don't think we should "define" a pseudo as having two types; nor should we list that as one of the reasons Slaking isn't. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 17:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth ==

This may be shot down, but SURELY Ulgamoth is a pseudo-legendary. It may lack the Base Stats and Second Evolution, but it's clearly intended to be in the same tier. Its final evolution receives the EV yield of a Third-Stage pokemon, it comes right after Sazandorah, just like how Salamence and Metagross are placed next to each other (Garchomp was separated from legendaries by Evolutions from previous gens). It has significant mythology connected to it, and is obtained in peculiar ways, one of which is fashioned like a Legendary Encounter. It evolves at a ridiculously high level. Hell, the concept itself is that of something that would have a cocoon stage, but missed out on it somehow. The 550 Base Stat is peculiar, but surely can be put down to it having Butterfly Dance, an obscenely powerful move. Pretty much everything points it to being a counterpart with Sazandorah as the two pseudo-legendaries of Generation 5. [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 23:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

:::I would like to disagree with everyone that opposes Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legendary. Just have a look at nearly every other Bug type that came before it for instance, and you'll notice that ALL tend to have stats below 400 or very rarely reaching 500 or higher. In nearly all games before B/W it was almost like a rule or some sort, or a tradition. Perhaps Volcarona lives up to this tradition even with B/W's upgrade to Bug types. As a Bug type, it would not be able to have as high of stats as other types if it followed this old tradition, so that would explain Volcarona's BST of 550 instead of 600. Another possible explaination is probably just an excuse to make it have a lower BST than Genesect. The big seal to all this is that Alder uses Volcarona as his main Pokemon. Why would it be used as his main if it wasn't a Pseudo-Legendary? Why just have something random instead of a Psuedo-legendary or even a Legendary? It all starts to make sense when you think about it. Volcarona, though having a lower BST than the other Pseudo-Legends, still has the exact same kind of power you'd expect from one due to it's gargantuan stats compared to other Bug types. Even Genesect feels very weak in comparison to Volcarona, as well as giving Tyranitar and Metagross something to fear and respect at the same time. So the point of all of this is, it would seem reasonable to accept Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legend due to past treatment of Bug types in general. Besides, doesn't it seem more like a fan idea to have them required to have a BST of 600 and be a 3 stage line? What if GF has their own requirements to the idea and simply design them as they please? For a Bug type to fill this role, all of this would make alot of sense. Why simply believe a Pseudo-Legend requires those things only because of past tradition from Gen I-IV? Wouldn't it be fair for a Bug type Pseudo-Legend to exist yet still follow the tradition of Bug types having lower Base stats than others? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 20:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Pseudo-legendary is a fan term, so fans determine the requirements. It is based on a pattern we as fans have detected in each generation? Being "strong" has nothing to do with being pseudo-legendary (other than that pseudo-legendary requires a 600 BST). Champion usage does not make something pseudo-legendary, even if it is their primary Pokémon. Alder doesn't use a legendary Pokémon because they are restricted to battle facility Trainers and storyline events. They did not fit it into their previous pattern. Anything that breaks the mold is not bending the pattern, but rejecting it. What does Volcarona have in common with actual pseudo-legendary Pokémon? If we let Volcarona in, then the definition of pseudo-legendary becomes "has two types, needs 1,250,000 exp to get to level 100". Now, if you look at {{cat|Pokémon in the Slow experience group|this list of Pokémon in that experience group}} and pick out all the dual typed Pokémon, excluding legendary Pokémon, you can see just how many there are. To name a few, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Sharpedo}}, {{p|Lanturn}}.

:::::Now you're being just biased about all this. Why do they all need BSTs of 600? Can't Volcarona be the exception due to it's Bug typing? Even if Dual typed and Slow exp group were the only requirements now, it would all still be the same, since Volcarona would be the only Pseudo-Legend that doesn't fill the previous 600 BST requirement. All you seem to be trying to do is sticking too much to tradition, because honestly, I thought you'd stick with the 1st to 4th gen's Pseudo-Legend tradition of Attack being the highest stat when it was revealed Hydreigon's highest was Special Attack instead. Due to that, I thought everybody would be biased with even it due to favoring Special Attack instead. Volcarona, when compared to Aggron of Flygon, makes far more sense as a Pseudo-Legendary. Honestly, I think of Pseudo-Legendaries having the highest BST of all non-legendaries out of one of their types. Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon have the highest Base Stat total of all non-legendary Dragon types, Tyranitar has the highest of all Non-legendary Rock types, and the highest for Dark types along with Hydreigon. Metagross has the highest out of all Non-legendary Steel and Psychic types. Volcarona has the highest of all Non-legendary Bug types.

== Slaking ==

I am aware that an argument has already been brought up to add Slaking to the list. I think it should be added, for the following reasons. From what I understand, the definition here of a Pseudo-Legendary is (a) it can't be legendary. (b) It must evolve twice. It is not part of the definition that all of them must be dual typed, nor that they must have an immunity. This is simply a trait that all of the current members of the list happen to share. The third part of the current definition is that all of them must have exactly 600 BST. This is the part I don't understand. I can understand why it would be nice to have a requirement for at least 600, but why does it have to be exact? This brings us to Slaking. It has the highest base stats of any non-legendary. It evolves twice. Why should it be denied the position of being pseudo-legendary for being too powerful? Pseudo-legendary means "resembling a legendary", and legendaries are supposed to be powerful. There are 16 legendaries with a BST over 600, and 11 even higher than Slaking's. In terms of its lack of a second type, 22 out of 47 legendaries are single-typed. Slaking's lack of a second type definitely should not exclude it from being a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon and one immunity, to the Ghost-type. However, it lacks some factors: a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking is also hindered by its ability, Truant, which is likely the reason for its high stats. '' From this page. However I would say the biggest reason it is not on here is because Truant truly cripples any astounding power it has. The only time to experience its true full potential is in a double battle with a Pokemon that uses Skill Swap on it so it can attack every turn rather than half the turns.

== So seriously, what's the definition? ==

As I pointed out above (and nearly no one responded), if the sixth gen introduces a non-legendary Pokemon with a 600 BST with only one type will we say that it's not pseudolegendary, or will we just change the definition of what a psuedolegendary is? Why is having two types or a specific level-up curve considered a ''necessary condition'' to being a pseudolegendary rather than just a trait all of the current ones happen to have? Indeed, given that you can completely remove either restriction or both of them and not change the list of pseudolegendary Pokemon ''at all'' (you can't do so with the 600 BST or the fact that they come from evolutionary families), I'd say Occam's Razor would slice away those unnecessary conditions. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
: PS. I'd like to point out that the opening paragraph used to mention that all pseudos had Attack as their highest stat, though it wisely did not include that as a part of the definition of what makes a pseudo a pseudo. [[Hydreigon|Now it doesn't say that any more.]] Just sayin'. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::The pseudolegendaries are variations on a theme. The dual types and stats are part of that theme. Single type would suggest that there's an underlying difference. Experience group makes them hard to raise, suggesting that they're all very similar. Like PP of moves, experience group is an indicator of the similarity of Pokemon. If Nintendo feel the need to make it a lower experience group, that makes it easier to raise, suggesting that there are underlying differences - the Pokemon are not considered equal. Stats like that aren't just a random choice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I can't say I agree. We can say that the two types and the level-up curve are traits they all have, at present, but how is it part of the definition? If you remove those restrictions, the number of pseudolegendary Pokemon remains six, so those restrictions aren't helping with the definition and just unnecessarily restrict possible future psuedolegendaries. I was asked to provide a source that they're not necessary. Where's the source that they are? I mean, let's say, totally hypothetically, that one made a page called "Pikachu Clones" back in the fourth gen, discussing Pokemon such as Pichu, Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu. (The usefulness of such a page isn't the point; let's just say that one existed.) At the time, they decided to define the Pokemon as "Cute mono-Electric-type Pokemon that have a resemblence to Pikachu. Aside from Pichu and Pikachu, none of the Pikachu clones evolve." Are you to say that, when the fifth gen came out, this hypothetical page would have been wrong to alter its definition and include Emolga? If so, why? And if not, then why did the definition need to include the "mono-" part of it at all if it's unnecessarily limiting and so easily discarded? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally don't think having two types should be part of the definition; I don't see a pure Dragon-type pseudo legendary Pokemon being that unlikely.

It'll be Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon if you remove those restrictions.
:::::Who made the call that they're necessary to the definition? I've been asked to source that they're not. Why must I prove the negative? It's the positive case that requires proof! Should I add a [citation needed] to the definition?
:::::If you were to remove the 600 BST part of the defintion, and still keep everything else, you'd add things like Aggron and Rhyperior to the list, so we can't do that.
:::::The "three-stage evolutionary family" thing comes off to me as a roundabout way of saying "not legendary", but I'm fine with it since legendary status can be arguable (the Legendary page on this very wiki is unsure on Phione, and even though I strongly disagree, I've even seen modern fans try to argue Rotom's legendary status.) And without it, Jirachi and Landorus are brought into the list of "pseudolegendaries", so obviously that restriction is necessary, regardless of the wording.
:::::But why type combos? Why experience groups? Removing them changes what? Is there a 600-BST three-stage mono-type family in the medium-slow group that is clearly not pseudolegendary I'm somehow unfamiliar with? (Well, Slaking has a 6'''7'''0 BST and three stages and is a monotype, though he is in the Slow group, but... Truant is all it takes to convince me he's not a proper pseudolegendary. And he's the closest there is, besides the obvious six!)
:::::As I said, if you were to put on the side (in Trivia or something) that all of them, at present, are dualtypes in the Slow experience group, you wouldn't see me argue - it's true, after all. But to put it in the definition, as if to say "Pokémon without these traits can't be pseudolegendary"... I jusst don't see it. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 18:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::Thing is, pseudo-legendary is the observation of a pattern and nothing more. When they all fit it and it is likely that they will continue fitting a condition, it should be treated as part of the definition. No, removing the experience group condition does not remove anything, but that condition is really for restricting what we may get next generation. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Next generation, if we get a Pokemon with a BST of 600 who is at the top of a three-stage evolution family in the medium-slow experience group instead of slow, and it doesn't have any major negative traits like Truant, do you really think the fandom isn't going to call it a pseudo-legendary? Do you honestly believe most of the fandom - who defined the term - even cares about experience curves that much? And can you provide a source on it? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 22:41, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::::There is no source (BP was the only fansite I could find that actually defined pseudo-legendary outside of "means Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon"), because GF has never officially mentioned the pattern anywhere, but the pattern is obvious enough that the fandom has noticed it. Knowing the fandom—who tried and push Volcarona and Haxorus into being pseudo-legendary—there will certainly be many people who think it should be. However, it won't truly be one. I don't see that ever happening though, as experience group is part of the pattern. Even if something had a BST of 600, three-stage evolutionary family and medium-slow experience group but had Truant, it would still be pseudo-legendary. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Isn't that a contradiction? (Did you get your experience groups confused?) And if something can be pseudolegendary with Truant, then Slaking should definitely count, since his stats are way higher than the existing pseudolegendaries (NOTE: I do not consider Slaking a pseudolegendary, I'm just saying that the logic doesn't flow.) --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 18:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::Truant is irrelevant; its BST is not 600, so it does not fit the pattern. And yes, I meant slow experience group (I meant to check that before I saved). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::I would argue that, though it's not a very specific or encyclopedic definition, a pseudo-legendary Pokemon would be a non-legendary Pokemon as strong, stat-wise, as legendaries. By that simple definition, Slaking easily fits the bill... or, rather, he would, except Truant limits his strength. (Well, Regigigas is similarly hindered, but all the same...) Now that said, all pseudos that exist have 600; there's no argument here and it works to say it. But the rest of it is redundant, adds nothing to the definition, and is something we'll just have to retcon away the moment GameFreak decides to contradict it.

Under the Metagross section, there is this line:

:"This is likely why Metagross is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon not to be used by Lance in any game, as he prefers Dragon-type and '''draconian''' Pokémon."

The correct word is ''draconic''; the word 'draconian' means '[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/draconian severely harsh or strict]'.

And under Garchomp's section:

:"It '''compliments''' these attributes with '''it's''' Ground typing,"

Should the Pokémon's actual pages really say that they're "pseudo-legendary Pokémon" up at the top?

== Does three stage evolution really matters? ==

I got a doubt, does three stage evolution really matters, because many pokemon like heracross has a base stat of 600 and is a dual Bug/Fighting type. Its signature move Megahorn is the most powerful bug type move, and it's movepool contains some powerful moves like Earthquack and Focuspunch with its base stat comes par with legendary pokemon and even has 4x damage on celebi. [[User:Tgage|Tgage]] ([[User talk:Tgage|talk]]) 12:59, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
:Yes it does, it is a vital part of the definition. By the same logic, you could ask if the 600 base stat total really matters.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:12, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I've had experience with this since me and my friend battle our groudon and kyogre respectivly, the pokemon who is sent out '''second''' will have it's ability active since it overrides the first one's ability, speed has nothing to do with it and no game has changed that not even battle revolution. so technically it's random since the the first one out almost always changes each battle. - [[User:Geomexis|Geomexis]] 13:38, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
:What really happens is that Drought and Drizzle really do activate in Speed order, if both Groudon and Kyogre are sent out first. The faster Pokémon's ability activates, then the slower one's activates. If both Groudon and Kyogre are switched in at the same time, then the Pokémon that actually comes out of the Poké Ball first activates its ability first, then the other one's activates afterward. That situation depends on who selects to switch Pokémon out first/last. This also applies to Tyranitar, Hippowdon, and Abomasnow. [[User:Ranko Hoshino|Ranko Hoshino]] 02:01, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== Fake Groudons ==

Perhaps it could be an interesting trivia how Groudon copies and illusions have appeared lots: That ''thing'' in the Jirachi movie, Mismagius' illusion and Uxie's illusion in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2

:/
::exactly, I forgot about the Mismagius thing but it is definatley trivia worth [[User:Ultamatecharizard|Ultamate]][[User Talk:Ultamatecharizard|Charizard]] 16:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I was watching ''Jirachi: The Wishmaker'' the other day, and i think the movie provides useful insight into how the real Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were created. The movie reveals that at least two things are necessary to create one of the Weather Trio: a special mineral of which their bodies consist, and a special marking. Whoever created each of them, let's say Arceus, drew markings into the ground using the aforementioned mineral, and like a spell, a being arose with the abilities of said markings. The reason that Butler's plan didn't work was because the marking for Groudon wasn't finished since Jirachi was taken out of the machine. The result was a monster that was kind of like Groudon, but had watery tendrils, and absorbed all the life it could reach into its body. (I call it 'Grougre' since it looked like Groudon, could manipulate water like Kyogre, and had the uncanny power to absorb life. At least, i think it's a good name. :P ) Anyway, that would explain why Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza all have strange, unique markings on them.
Also, shouldn't an article be made about the monster Groudon?-- [[User:Webspidrman|Webspidrman]] 02:56, 26 May 2010

== Something else about the name origin? ==

Perhaps the "don" in "Groudon" stands for the Japanese ドンッ (''don'') which is an onomatopoeia for a crash? (Considering that Groudon can create earthquakes by slamming its feet onto the ground, they would make the "don" sound) Just wondering. [[User:Ztobor|Ztobor]] 04:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

== Groudon's Draught effect in Pokémon Ruby - need confirmation ==

I'd like to point something that happened in my game.

I always took the time to replant a seed in the areas where I took out berries.
Also, if I found an area where the soil was empty, I'd plant a berry there too.

Now, according to some NPC in the game, when a tree is grown and no one picks the berries, a berry drops on the soil and the tree starts growing again, right?

Well, after I caught Groudon, I went back through the map to check on a few things, and noticed that several soil patches were completely empty.
Nothing was there.

I believe this was because I didn't rush to catch Groudon...
I just went around, leveled up, and did other stuff.
Could this be the effect of Draught over the world map?

I just need someone who has been playing this game to confirm if this is true, or if there's some other explanation for the empty soil patches
(there were many, in several routes, not just one).

Also, if there are other effects like a constant low tide in shoal islands
(I thought about this one only after I saw the patches, so I already had Groudon caught)

If it's true, then it would make sense to think that Kyogre's rain, over a long period of time, may have an effect as well
(perhaps increased berry growth? constant high tide?)

Any input from anyone who has Ruby, Sapphire or even Emerald is appreciated, thanks. {{unsigned|Raven-14}}

::I was regularly going back to collect berries, now that I had Fly available (for use in Pokeblocks and also use them instead of Antidotes and Full Heals because it saves money), so no more than 2 days of real time and around 6 to 8 hours of game time. I was leveling in that time and then caught Groudon. After that, when I made my runs through the several routes to gather the berries, some were completely gone, others were still there.

The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon.

And furthermore, Game Freak doesn't really matter at all when it comes to copyrights. They only have a small fraction of the claims to Pokemon and Mother: Nintendo owns everything about the two. Therefore, it seems stupid to me that we cannot cross reference something related to Pokemon AND owned by the same company, who referenced themselves in the first place. Smash Bros. would not be allowed on this wiki using this logic.
{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers. I don't care if you think it's dumb; I didn't make the rule, bring it up with the staff if you don't like it. Second, Smash Bros. is not even remotely like putting copyrighted characters as origin inspiration: Smash Bros ''has Pokémon properties in it''. Finally, use the preview button more often. It's annoying to have to keep retyping a message because you found a typo in your last message or you forgot to sign. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 01:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. What about the move Round? Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo. [[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 08:07, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
::What part of "in origin sections" do you not understand? There are some pages where we're allowed to speculate some; species pages are not one of them. I reiterate, '''I do not care if you don't like it'''. You're not going to convince me that I should undo my revision. Staff have said don't put copyrighted characters of other franchises/corporations/whatever in Pokémon's origin sections without solid evidence, the Mother series included. If you want them to see if your ''opinion'' is enough evidence, bring it up like another user did on [[User talk:Crystal Talian#Proper referencing to Pop culture|Crystal Talian's talk page]].

== Revert on volbeat breeding learnset ==

I added lightscreen, but you reverted it because "it's not an egg move" but i don't what that means. When the volbeat comes out of the egg at lvl 5 he has that move and the Dustox gets it by lvl up. So what is an egg move?, btw this is in sapphire. [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:An [[Egg move]] is a move that a Pokémon learns through breeding, though for the learn lists we narrow it down to moves it can ''only'' learn through breeding. Volbeat can already learn Light Screen through TM16. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 11:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::Ahh, got it, thanks for clearing that out. I understand :), i will check if the move is listed on TM or By lvl up before adding it to Breeding. Thanks again [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 15:27, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sorry==

I understand the problem, but I'm not going to change it. Please hear me out.

I'm not from the United States. I'm from the United States of America. I'm not accusing you or anyone else on Bulbapedia of this, but I'm sick of people (mostly self-righteous foreigners who think my countrymen are completely oblivious of the outside world) trying to drop "America" from the name, or referring to my people as "U.S. Americans" because there happens to be two continents that have America in their name.

Referring to the USA as "the United States" without "America" on the end isn't any more specific or accurate than just saying "America". The official, full name of Mexico ([[wp:Mexico|Estados Unidos Mexicanos]]) essentially translates to the United States of Mexico in English. Likewise, the USA is referred to as the Estados Unidos Americanos in Spanish. When Mexico won its independence, they modeled their government after ours, right down to the name. Either way you slice it, there's potential confusion.

None of the other countries in North or South America have America in their name. Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc. do not and have never identified as Americans. They identify as Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc., or in the past, as subjects of whatever empire they were a part of.

The USA was free to call itself what it wanted, America, long before any of them won their own independence or it was given to them.

So you can either ignore it, or change the official tag to United States of America. I will not bend to this extreme, ridiculous example of political correctness. If it means I get disciplined or even permanently banned, so be it. I'm tired of my people's identity being stolen from us.

{{move|Multi Battle}}
[[File:Tag Battle BW.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Hilda}} and {{ga|Hilbert}} challenging the [[Battle Subway]]]]
A '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), referred to as a '''Multi Battle''' in the games, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which two [[Pokémon Trainer]]s team up against one or two others. Unlike regular Double Battles, there are no specific Trainer classes encountered for Multi Battles. Instead, two different Trainers must both see the {{player}} at the same time, starting from Emerald onward. For battles in the games' storylines, the player's opponents will usually only have three Pokémon each. However, Multi Battles occurring by being spotted by a pair of unrelated Trainers will occasionally lead to battles against more than six Pokémon. The player and their partner are only subject to such limitations in [[Battle Tower]]s, allowing both to potentially send out six Pokémon.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[link cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This was the only way to have a Tag Battle in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===In-game events===
Since {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, Multi Battles have been possible at various points throughout the games. Other such battles happen at specific points in the game.

* In {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Steven Stone]] battles [[Maxie|two]] [[Tabitha|members]] of [[Team Magma]] alongside the player in the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. This is the only battle when a partner Trainer receives experience points from defeating a Pokémon. It's also the only Multi Battle in which the player can use items on or knock out the partner Trainer's Pokémon and get experience points.
* Multi Battles are also conducted in Hoenn's {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}}. Players have the option of teaming up with either a [[Non-player character|NPC]] or a friend via [[link cable]]. All [[Battle Tower]]s in subsequent games feature the opportunity to enter Multi Battles.
* In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player teams up with:
** [[Stat Trainers|five unique Trainers]]: [[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Marley]], and [[Buck]]; the same Trainers can later be selected to act as the player's partner in Sinnoh's {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}
** Professor Rowan's assistant (the NPC player character—{{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}) twice, in [[Jubilife City]] and [[Veilstone City]].
** the {{ga|Barry|rival}} at [[Spear Pillar]] against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], and (in Platinum only) in the [[Fight Area]] against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] upon entering the [[Battle Zone]] for the first time
* Battles at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] are all two-on-one Tag Battles
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player teams up with:
** [[Lance]] against [[Ariana]] and one of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the [[Team Rocket HQ]]
** {{ga|Silver}} against [[Clair]] and [[Lance]] in the [[Dragon's Den]]
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the player teams with:
** [[Cheren]] twice, once against two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, and the other against two {{tc|Preschooler}}s at [[Alder]]'s request
** the NPC player character—{{ga|Hilbert}} or {{ga|Hilda}}—or with a friend via local wireless in the [[Battle Subway]]
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player teams up with:
** [[Hugh]] in the [[Castelia Sewers]], on the [[Plasma Frigate]] (when at the {{DL|Plasma Frigate|Pokémon World Tournament}} and at the {{DL|Plasma Frigate|Seaside Cave}}), and in [[Lacunosa Town]]
** the NPC player character—{{ga|Nate}} or {{ga|Rosa}}—against {{tc|Subway Boss}}es {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}} outside of [[Battle Subway|Gear Station]]; the player also battles with him or her in the Multi Train if they do not choose to battle with a friend
** a friend via local wireless in the Battle Subway
** [[Bianca]] at [[Reversal Mountain]]
** [[Cheren]] on the [[Plasma Frigate]] and in [[Pinwheel Forest]]
** [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], or [[Cress]] and battles the two not chosen
*In {{2v2|X|Y}}, the player teams up with:
**the opposite gendered player character against [[Tierno]] and [[Trevor]] on [[Kalos Route 7|Route 7]].
**Tierno, Trevor, [[Shauna]], a character representing a "friend" of the player's (using his or her 3DS Nintendo Network profile), and characters representing "friends" of the player's registered Nintendo 3DS Nintendo Network friends, or a friend via local wireless, at the [[Battle Maison]] in Multi Battles

==In the anime==
[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|Ash and Dawn with Turtwig and Piplup, preparing for a Tag Battle]]
Tag Battles have been featured in the anime since [[EP002|the second episode]]. The first Tag Battlers were [[Jessie]] and [[James]]. At this time, {{an|Misty}} stated that Tag Battles were against the official league rules. Team Rocket still challenges the main protagonists in Tag Battles regularly.

Tag Battles became more common in the anime as of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. On two occasions, Ash has paired up with two of his female {{ashfr|companions}}. The first time was in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', with {{an|May}} and ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'', with {{an|Dawn}}. In both situations, Ash had gotten into an argument with his partner and ended up making up with them and becoming in sync with them during battle.

Ash and {{an|Brock}} worked well together as a team, with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} easily taking down a {{p|Snorlax}}/{{p|Munchlax}} husband/wife combination in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle]]''. In the same episode, May and Dawn teamed up and worked well together.

''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'' also featured a Tag Battle, with Ash and Dawn battling {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]]. Ash and Dawn seemed to work well this time, defeating their opponents.

[[Hearthome City]] has its own special competition known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Trainer pairs are chosen by random. Each Trainer receives a card with a number on it and must partner with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. Ash won this tournament paired with [[Paul]], despite the two working very poorly together.

In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Ash and {{an|Cilan}} fought in a Tag Battle against {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}, which Ash and Cilan lost despite fighting excellently. In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', Ash and Cilan battled and won against {{an|Bianca}} and [[Professor Juniper]]. Ash and Cilan also fought together in a Tag Battle against two brothers named [[Soren and Rocko]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and managed to win here as well.

In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash and [[Nanette]] battled against Iris and Cilan, which was also Nanette's first battle. The battle was interrupted by Team Rocket and their attempt to capture Pikachu.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Tag Battles were uncommon prior to [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}} due to the fact that they hadn't been formally introduced yet, although multiple Trainers battling a single opponent (such as [[Sabrina]] vs. {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} or [[Bill]] and [[Lt. Surge]] vs. [[Bruno]]) were common. The first true Tag Battle occurs when {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} fought against [[Sham]] and [[Carl]]'s two Pokémon together.

Much later, as with the then recently-released [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald version]] which fully introduced this feature, the two protagonists of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, named appropriately after the two games, would fight together against [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in both the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}'s return to their slumber. {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} also fought against two opponents, but as Yellow didn't begin to attack until after the former was losing, it is dubious as to whether it can be called a true Tag Battle.

Several Tag Battles also occur during the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, including those of two pairs fighting many opponents.

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside Steven in Emerald, his Pokémon are shown to gain experience after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of Generation IV also if all of the player's pokemon faint you will white out.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in the {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} games has the potential to be a twelve-on-six fight, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full party. All other Multi Battles in the game have numbers that are more even.
* There are no battles in which the [[player character]] and a partner Trainer battle against a single opponent.

'''Omanyte''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オムナイト''' ''Omnite'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]] and [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Omastar}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Omanyte is a small, sky-blue {{wp|Ammonoidea}} Pokémon. It has ten tentacles and a pale yellow, helix spiraled shell on its back. The shell's hem has two circular indents, from which Omanyte's large saucer-like eyes protrude. Several gas-filled chambers exist within Omanyte's shell, which it uses to regulate its buoyancy within the water. By evacuating or filling the chambers, it rises and falls while twisting its tentacles to swim. Living on and swimming about the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|sea floor}}, it feeds off {{wp|plankton}}. If attacked or endangered, it quickly withdraws into its hard shell. Omanyte is considered extinct, although can be revived from Fossils.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kenzo Omanyte.png|thumb|left|250px|Omanyte in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}} first encountered Omanyte in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' along with all the other [[Generation I]] Fossil Pokémon. A dynamite blast woke up the Fossil Pokémon living deep beneath [[Grampa Canyon]]. They chased Ash and {{TRT}} around until an {{p|Aerodactyl}} showed up and scared them off.

Omanyte and its evolved form, {{p|Omastar}}, were discovered to be living in the [[Ruins of Alph]] and moved to a museum in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''.

An Omanyte made an appearance in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A photo of an Omanyte appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.

An Omanyte was revived from a Fossil in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]''.

Three Omanyte appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' living in the [[Tree of Beginning]]. One also appeared in the opening of the movie.

'''Barry''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is the [[rival]] character in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The character {{adv|Pearl}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is based on Barry. A version of the character also appears in the {{OBP|Pokémon DP|Shigekatsu Ihara}} manga.

This particular rival also appears on the {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Rival|113}} card in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansions of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
===Role===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
Barry, like the player, lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details.

Barry is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}, [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]], although this defeat lead to a major positive change in Barry's character, causing him to become slightly more serious, realistic, and mature. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Barry ''does'' have a soft side however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, ready to battle. Unlike the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

His father is {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard. Barry is actually very much like his father characteristic-wise. Both he and Palmer are constantly in a hurry, running into people (including the player), and both seem to react the same way when they happen to run into people.
====Pokémon Platinum====
In addition to his hyperactive personality, it is shown in the beginning of Platinum, he also gets distracted very easily. In the events of Platinum, Barry suggests going to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a [[red Gyarados]] (as happened in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). When Professor Rowan questions {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and Barry on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} about going into the [[tall grass]] without any Pokémon, deeming it reckless and wondering if such people were well-suited for Pokémon, Barry admits it was his idea and says that his friend should at least get a Pokémon if not him. After this, Professor Rowan gives them both Pokémon, much to Barry's excitement.

After the player becomes the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, Barry can be found at the [[Survival Area]] every day, but can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the [[Battleground]], even asking [[Crasher Wake]]'s help.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section|Is that all Diamond and Pearl?}}
=====At [[Twinleaf Town]]=====
* In front of his house:
''"'''Thud!!''' What was that about?! Oh, hey, <player>! Hey! I'm going to the lake! You come too! And be quick about it! OK, <player>? I'm fining you {{PDollar}}1 million if you're late! Oh, jeez! Forgot something!"''

* In his room:
''"...I'd better take my [[Bag]] and {{key|IV|Journal}}, too... Oh, hey, <player>! We're going to the lake! I'll be waiting for on the road! It's a {{PDollar}}10 million fine if you're late!"''

====={{rt|201|Sinnoh}}=====
''"Hey, you saw that news report that was on TV, right? You know, "Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]! The mysterious appearance of the furious Pokémon in a lake!" That show got me to thinking. I'll bet our local lake has a Pokémon like that in it, too! So, that's what we're gonna do. We'll go find a Pokémon like that!"''

* If the player attempts to walk into the tall grass:
''"Remember what your mother said? Mom: "<player>! Don't go into the tall grass!" "Remember, wild Pokémon may attack you if you're walking in tall grass." "It would be OK if you had your own Pokémon, but...""''

* After the events at Lake Verity:
''"Hey, it's those people! Is that old guy staring at us?"''

''"What was all that craziness about? I mean, if he was angry, he could've just yelled at us, or whatever... And didn't he want their Pokémon back...? <player>... We should go home, too...

=====[[Verity Lakefront]]=====
* Before the events at Lake Verity
''"All right! To the lake! Let's find us a red Gyarados!

* After the events at Lake Verity:
''"..You go ahead ...I know we have to go return these Pokémon. They're not ours. But I want to spend just a little more time with this little guy..."''

:* If spoken to:
''"I wish I could grow tougher with this little guy..."''

''"I don't feel like talking... Let's go. ...Are we maybe walking slower than when we went to the lake?"''

:* If the player attempts to enter Lake Verity:
''"Hey, hey! Where do you think you're going? We have to go return these Pokémon..."''

=====[[Lake Verity]]=====
''"What's going on...?"''

''"What was that about? Those two... Huh? <player>! Let's go check this out! ... ... What's that? Don't go into the tall grass? No problem, no problem! We won't be in there long enough for a wild Pokémon to come out."''

''"It's... A briefcase? Those people forgot it here. What are we supposed to do with it? We can try to deliver it, but who are they? I heard them say professor..."''

''"Waaah! Po-Pokémon?! What's going on?!"''

* When selecting a Pokémon:
''"Look! These are Poké Balls! Let's battle using these! Eh...? Which one do you want then?"''

* After the battle:
''"Fwaaah! Your {{p|Turtwig}}/{{p|Chimchar}}/{{p|Piplup}} totally rocked! But my Chimchar/Piplup/Turtwig was way tougher than yours! ...They were other people's Pokémon, though... But we had to use them... They won't mind, will they?"''

''"What was that about? I don't know what's going on. <player>, let's get out of here. My Pokémon got hurt from that battle. If we get attacked by another Pokémon, we might be in trouble."''

=====[[Sandgem Town]]=====
:''"Thud!! What the... Oh, it's you, <player>! That old guy... He's not scary so much as he is totally out there! Aww, it doesn't matter, <player>. I'm out of here. See you later!"''

=====[[Trainer's School]], [[Jubilife City]]=====
:''"Hey <player>! Did you come to study, too? I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the blackboard. After all, it's the Trainer's job to avoid having their precious Pokémon hurt in battle, right? So, <player>, what brings you here? Huh? You've got something for me?"''

* After delivering the Parcel
:''"So what is this...? Score! It's a [[Town Map]]! Huh?! Why are there two in here? I like it a lot, but I don't need two. Here, <player>, you take one!"''

* After receiving the Town Map
:''"Hmm... Well, according to the Town Map, I guess Oreburgh City is where I should be going next. There's a Gym, so it'd be perfect for raising the Pokémon I just caught. Well, I'm on the road to becoming the greatest Trainer of all time! See you around!"''

====={{Rt|203|Sinnoh}}=====
:''"Hey! <player>! Tell me you got a little tougher! Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! Come on! Let's battle it out!"''

* After his first Pokémon is damaged
:''"Don't get cocky, kid! This isn't over yet!"''

* When his last Pokémon is at low health
:''"My Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|HP}} is low... This could be a close fight."''

* Upon defeat
:''"What just happened? I lost?!"''

* After battle
:''"Waah! What do you mean I lost?! Well, that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose! I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it! The first thing to do is take on the Oreburgh City Pokémon Gym! I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!"''

=====[[Oreburgh City]]=====
* Outside [[Oreburgh Gym]]
:''"Hunh? Oh, it's you, <player>! You finally got here? You're slow like always. But, anyway, the [[Roark|Gym Leader's]] tough! Like, seriously serious! If the Gym Leader's this tough, I wonder how he compares to my [[Tower Tycoon Palmer|dad]]... Huh? I just drifted there. Anyway, the Gym Leader's gone off to the [[Oreburgh Mine|coal mine]]. If you want to take on the Gym Leader, you'd better go off to the mine!"''

:''"I told you, the Gym Leader went down to the Oreburgh Mine. If you want to take the Gym challenge, you have to go down to the mine."''

* Near [[Oreburgh Gate]], after player beats Leader [[Roark]]
:''"'''Thud!!''' Whoops! <player>! You got the {{Badge|Coal|Gym Badge}}, huh? [[Eterna City]] is the next place with a [[Eterna City Gym|Gym]] that gives away Badges, right? So, yeah, I went to {{rt|207|Sinnoh}}, but you can't go there without a [[Bicycle]]. I made my team battle and toughened them up, so it wasn't a waste. So, I'm going back to Jubilife City. Next stop, the {{Badge|Forest|Eterna Gym Badge}}! Ten seconds before I dash! Nine... Bah! Who's got time to count?!"''

=====[[Eterna City]]=====

'''Barry''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is the [[rival]] character in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The character {{adv|Pearl}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga is based on Barry. A version of the character also appears in the {{OBP|Pokémon DP|Shigekatsu Ihara}} manga.

This particular rival also appears on the {{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Rival|113}} card in the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansions of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
===Role===
====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
Barry, like the player, lives in [[Twinleaf Town]] and is also the player's childhood friend (and soon-to-be [[rival]]). Barry is always in a hurry and extremely impatient, and because of this, often crashes into other people (usually demanding a fine from them) or misses important details.

Barry is incredibly determined and it is very difficult to discourage him; the only thing that has done this so far was his crushing loss to the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}, [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]], although this defeat lead to a major positive change in Barry's character, causing him to become slightly more serious, realistic, and mature. He is also quite the braggart, often boasting about his battling prowess or how cool his Pokémon are. Barry ''does'' have a soft side however, as seen after the wild Starly attack.

Barry is also one to take risks and quickly jump into action; it was this behavior that caused the player and himself to be attacked by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Starly}}, setting off the chain reaction that would result in the player receiving his/her first Pokémon.

After becoming the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player can find him training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week, and at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, ready to battle. Unlike the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}, Barry did not receive a Pokédex, due to him rushing out of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab before Rowan could give him one.

His father is {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, one of the Sinnoh {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}'s five [[Frontier Brain]]s. Barry wants to be like him, which is the reason he is so determined and trains hard. Barry is actually very much like his father characteristic-wise. Both he and Palmer are constantly in a hurry, running into people (including the player), and both seem to react the same way when they happen to run into people.
====Pokémon Platinum====
In addition to his hyperactive personality, it is shown in the beginning of Platinum, he also gets distracted very easily. In the events of Platinum, Barry suggests going to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a [[red Gyarados]] (as happened in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). When Professor Rowan questions {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and Barry on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} about going into the [[tall grass]] without any Pokémon, deeming it reckless and wondering if such people were well-suited for Pokémon, Barry admits it was his idea and says that his friend should at least get a Pokémon if not him. After this, Professor Rowan gives them both Pokémon, much to Barry's excitement.

After the player becomes the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, Barry can be found at the [[Survival Area]] every day, but can only be battled on weekends. He desires to get into the [[Battleground]], even asking [[Crasher Wake]]'s help.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section|Is that all Diamond and Pearl?}}
=====At [[Twinleaf Town]]=====
* In front of his house:
''"'''Thud!!''' What was that about?! Oh, hey, <player>! Hey! I'm going to the lake! You come too! And be quick about it! OK, <player>? I'm fining you {{PDollar}}1 million if you're late! Oh, jeez! Forgot something!"''

* In his room:
''"...I'd better take my [[Bag]] and {{key|IV|Journal}}, too... Oh, hey, <player>! We're going to the lake! I'll be waiting for on the road! It's a {{PDollar}}10 million fine if you're late!"''

====={{rt|201|Sinnoh}}=====
''"Hey, you saw that news report that was on TV, right? You know, "Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]! The mysterious appearance of the furious Pokémon in a lake!" That show got me to thinking. I'll bet our local lake has a Pokémon like that in it, too! So, that's what we're gonna do. We'll go find a Pokémon like that!"''

* If the player attempts to walk into the tall grass:
''"Remember what your mother said? Mom: "<player>! Don't go into the tall grass!" "Remember, wild Pokémon may attack you if you're walking in tall grass." "It would be OK if you had your own Pokémon, but...""''

* After the events at Lake Verity:
''"Hey, it's those people! Is that old guy staring at us?"''

''"What was all that craziness about? I mean, if he was angry, he could've just yelled at us, or whatever... And didn't he want their Pokémon back...? <player>... We should go home, too...

=====[[Verity Lakefront]]=====
* Before the events at Lake Verity
''"All right! To the lake! Let's find us a red Gyarados!

* After the events at Lake Verity:
''"..You go ahead ...I know we have to go return these Pokémon. They're not ours. But I want to spend just a little more time with this little guy..."''

:* If spoken to:
''"I wish I could grow tougher with this little guy..."''

''"I don't feel like talking... Let's go. ...Are we maybe walking slower than when we went to the lake?"''

:* If the player attempts to enter Lake Verity:
''"Hey, hey! Where do you think you're going? We have to go return these Pokémon..."''

=====[[Lake Verity]]=====
''"What's going on...?"''

''"What was that about? Those two... Huh? <player>! Let's go check this out! ... ... What's that? Don't go into the tall grass? No problem, no problem! We won't be in there long enough for a wild Pokémon to come out."''

''"It's... A briefcase? Those people forgot it here. What are we supposed to do with it? We can try to deliver it, but who are they? I heard them say professor..."''

''"Waaah! Po-Pokémon?! What's going on?!"''

* When selecting a Pokémon:
''"Look! These are Poké Balls! Let's battle using these! Eh...? Which one do you want then?"''

* After the battle:
''"Fwaaah! Your {{p|Turtwig}}/{{p|Chimchar}}/{{p|Piplup}} totally rocked! But my Chimchar/Piplup/Turtwig was way tougher than yours! ...They were other people's Pokémon, though... But we had to use them... They won't mind, will they?"''

''"What was that about? I don't know what's going on. <player>, let's get out of here. My Pokémon got hurt from that battle. If we get attacked by another Pokémon, we might be in trouble."''

=====[[Sandgem Town]]=====
:''"Thud!! What the... Oh, it's you, <player>! That old guy... He's not scary so much as he is totally out there! Aww, it doesn't matter, <player>. I'm out of here. See you later!"''

=====[[Trainer's School]], [[Jubilife City]]=====
:''"Hey <player>! Did you come to study, too? I went ahead and memorized everything that was up on the blackboard. After all, it's the Trainer's job to avoid having their precious Pokémon hurt in battle, right? So, <player>, what brings you here? Huh? You've got something for me?"''

* After delivering the Parcel
:''"So what is this...? Score! It's a [[Town Map]]! Huh?! Why are there two in here? I like it a lot, but I don't need two. Here, <player>, you take one!"''

* After receiving the Town Map
:''"Hmm... Well, according to the Town Map, I guess Oreburgh City is where I should be going next. There's a Gym, so it'd be perfect for raising the Pokémon I just caught. Well, I'm on the road to becoming the greatest Trainer of all time! See you around!"''

====={{Rt|203|Sinnoh}}=====
:''"Hey! <player>! Tell me you got a little tougher! Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! Come on! Let's battle it out!"''

* After his first Pokémon is damaged
:''"Don't get cocky, kid! This isn't over yet!"''

* When his last Pokémon is at low health
:''"My Pokémon's {{DL|Stats|HP}} is low... This could be a close fight."''

* Upon defeat
:''"What just happened? I lost?!"''

* After battle
:''"Waah! What do you mean I lost?! Well, that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose! I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it! The first thing to do is take on the Oreburgh City Pokémon Gym! I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally!"''

=====[[Oreburgh City]]=====
* Outside [[Oreburgh Gym]]
:''"Hunh? Oh, it's you, <player>! You finally got here? You're slow like always. But, anyway, the [[Roark|Gym Leader's]] tough! Like, seriously serious! If the Gym Leader's this tough, I wonder how he compares to my [[Tower Tycoon Palmer|dad]]... Huh? I just drifted there. Anyway, the Gym Leader's gone off to the [[Oreburgh Mine|coal mine]]. If you want to take on the Gym Leader, you'd better go off to the mine!"''

:''"I told you, the Gym Leader went down to the Oreburgh Mine. If you want to take the Gym challenge, you have to go down to the mine."''

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.

==Biology==
Cloyster is a black, pearl-like Pokémon. It is encased inside a light grey shell, which is surrounded by a second jagged, blue-violet outer shell casing. It has one barb-like spike protruding from above its head, and multiple conical horns on its outer shell. Its shell is harder than diamond with spikes that are even harder; harsh tidal currents will affect the size and sharpness of these spikes. On its pearl-like face, it has two white eyes and a mouth. Aside from its face and head, its internal anatomy has never been seen.

It typically only opens its shell to attack an opponent. However, it is fully capable of retaliating against any enemy with its shell tightly closed. With rapid succession, it launches its spikes at the foe, keeping them repelled. Once it has shut itself in, it is impossible to open its shell from the outside. This impressive defense allows it to withstand anything from a bomb blast to even a missile strike. The same projectile system it uses to launch its spikes is also used for swimming. It swallows seawater, and then ejects it towards the rear propelling it through with siphon-jet propulsion. It lives on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|sea floor}}, nestled among the rocks and coral.

==Trivia==
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
It also has the highest defense stat of all pokemon in the kanto region
===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus ''{{wp|Spondylus}}'', with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.

====Name origin====
Cloyster is a pun on ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) which contains the word ''{{wp|oyster}}'', or is a portmanteau of ''clam'' and ''oyster''.

Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Elite Four]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==In the games==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. She will give the player [[HM01]] in [[Eterna City]]. She is also found on {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} to get to [[Celestic Town]]. She then gives the player the [[Old Charm]] to give to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]]. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region.

Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown was not mentioned. She is implied to have helped {{prof|Rowan}} with his [[Pokédex]] and embarked on an adventure as a child, similar to the {{player}}.

Later, she reappears as the Pokémon League Champion.

====Quotes====
{{incomplete|section|needs=DPPt quotes}}

=====[[Eterna City]]=====
:"''Oh, is that a Pokédex? You must be helping Professor Rowan? What's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Try using this. It should help you on your way. Remember, the hidden move Cut can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer!"''

=====[[Valor Lakefront]]=====
:''"Oh , hello , long time no see! How is your Pokédex filling up? I came to research the folklore about the lake, but... Well, it doesn't appear as if the lake is open to the public now. Have you heard the folklore about it? They say there is an island inside the lake. And inside that island is a mirage of a Pokémon . No one must enter the chamber of that Pokémon... Oh that's right! i had to talk to you about something else... He's your friend? He's more impatient than energetic, isn't he? So, getting back to what i started saying earlier... Have you seen the group of [[Psyduck]] on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}?
:''No: " You haven't seen them? By the café on Route 210.
:''Yes: "Yes that's right. By the café on Route 210. There is a group of Psyduck huddled with their heads in their, uh, hands...? Anyway, what you should do is use medicine on the Psyduck. You're working on a Pokédex, so it would be worthwhile for you. I went on a big adventure with a Pokédex when I was younger. I hope you meet every kind of Pokémon there is to see. It may help you with the secret of the mirage Pokémon. See you later!

=====[[Sinnoh Route 210|Route 210]]=====
:''"Oh, good. You used the SecretPotion I gave you. Psyduck are known to suffer from chronic headaches. But no one's been able to figure out what triggers the headaches. Oh yes! Can I ask you a big favor? I want to deliver this Old Charm to my grandma in [[Celestic Town]]. I know there are some rare Pokémon between here and Celestic Town, so it will be worth your while to go.
:''No:
:''Yes: " My grandma has this sort of bossy atmosphere about her. I think you'll recognize her right away. Yes, I'm sure you will. She's the elder of Celestic Town. And the location... Look on your Town Map. You can't miss it. Ok, I'm counting on you! See you again on the road!

;{{si|Pokémon League}}
*Before battle (initial fight)
:''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for [[Mt. Coronet]]. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, I accept your challenge!"''

*Before battle (rematch)
:''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

*Being defeated
:''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

==={{game|Platinum}}===
When encountered in [[Eterna City]], she will also give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|Egg}} from which {{p|Togepi}} will hatch.

After Giratina appears in [[Spear Pillar]] and takes [[Cyrus]] down with it, Cynthia rushes to the scene and assists the player during their trip to the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled {{p|Giratina}}.

After beating the game, if the {{player}} visits [[Celestic Town]] Ruins, she will come and explain what the ruins mean.

=====[[Eterna City]]=====
:''"Oh, that device you have... It is a [[Pokédex]]? Wow, it brings back some memories. Pardon me, but what's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. Have you seen it already? According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Oh, I know! Try using this. It should be helpful. Remember, the hidden move {{m|Cut}} can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer! Oh, there's one last thing! Please give my regards to [[Professor Rowan|Prof. Rowan]]."''

:''"Oh, there you are! I was looking for you. I've got something nice. I wanted you to have this [[Pokémon Egg]]. Will you accept it?"''
::'''No''': "''Oh...? You don't need to feel obligated. It's hard filling the pages of the Pokédex, isn't it? I only want to lend you a little hand, that's all."''
::'''Full party''': ''"Oh? You have six Pokémon with you already. You don't have room for this Egg. You'll have to store a Pokémon in a PC Box at the Pokémon Center first. I'll give you this Egg when you've made room for it. I'll be waiting right here."''
::'''If player steps towards the Bicycle Shop''': ''"Oh, wait! Don't leave without this Pokémon Egg. Please? I want you to have it."''
::'''If player asks again''': ''"Well? Will you accept this Pokémon Egg?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That's wonderful! The {{p|Togepi|Pokémon inside the Egg}} is happy, too. I'm sure of it! Keep that Egg with you in your party of Pokémon. A Pokémon will hatch from it while you are traveling. I would be happy to know that it will help you fill another page of your Pokédex. See you again!"''

=====[[Spear Pillar]]=====
:''"No...! I'm sorry I took so long. I think I finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--{{p|Giratina}}! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina. The pillars are distorting... It's because of that portal. It's joined us to the other world. If it's not close, the distortion will spread to Sinnoh and beyond... Our world will be destroyed... Are you ready? We have to chase Cyrus!"''
::'''{{tt|No|After speaking to her again, Cynthia will repeat the last two sentences and ask again}}''': ''"You need to get ready? I'll wait here."''
::'''Yes''': ''"We have to hurry!"''

=====[[Distortion World]]=====
:''"This place... Can you feel it? There are no Pokémon here at all. Time isn't flowing and space isn't stable. A world where the rules are broken. A space one might call the Distortion World... Let's find Giratina. We need it to stop the spreading distortion at the Spear Pillar..."''
:''"That was... Giratina...! We have to hurry! If something's not done the distortion will swallow not only our world, it will overwhelm the Distortion World..."''

:''"This rock slab... It appears to move if you step a certain spot."''
:''"Will we get to see Giratina if we keep going down? ...In the Distortion World, are we really traveling downward?"''

:''"The legend of Giratina has been forgotten but to a few... The legend told of a world on the other side of ours. This world. Why does this world exist? Why is Giratina here all alone? There's too much that can't be explained but we have things to do. Let's split up. We have to find the right way."''
::If interacted with again: ''"We don't need to go together now. Let's keep looking for the way down."''

:''"This place... It seems to be a giant puzzle. Maybe Giratina wants to test those who come that visit here? It appears as if we can't go unless we solve the puzzle. There were some boulders that could be moved. And there are several odd pits on the floor... {{p|Uxie|The}} {{p|Mesprit|Pokémon}} {{p|Azelf|of the lakes}} seem eager to show us something..."''

* After solving the Lake Trio's puzzle
:''"I guess the Pokémon of the lakes must have gone home. I understand that they can keep balance against either Palkia or Dialga. Does it mean they can't do that with Giratina? ...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."''
:If talked to again after the invisible platform appears: ''"Call it a Trainer's intuition, but we're getting close. Let's go on!"''
:''"This is it... Giratina is up ahead..."''

:''"...So [[Cyrus|you]] were already here. Why do you seek to change the world? If you hate our world you should just go off somewhere alone. Find somewhere where you can live without seeing others."''
:If talked to before defeating Cyrus: ''"But... That's no justice at all!"''
* After defeating Cyrus
:''"Don't believe his lies. It's not possible that a Pokémon can make the world disappear. The world awaited your birth. Not only yours, either. The Pokémon with you. The people close to you. All the Pokémon and people were born because they have a part in the world. I'm convinced of that. Giratina won't go out of existence. The Distortion World won't disappear. Our world won't disappear, either. Let's go meet Giratina. ...Oops. I should do something about your hardworking Pokémon first. Now let's go meet Giratina!"''
:''"Giratina is enraged because the two worlds are endangered. It has merged the Distortion World and our world at the Spear Pillar. That's why both worlds are becoming distorted. But there's nothing to fear. You can defeat Giratina and show the tight bond you share with your Pokémon. Or you can demonstrate how much you want it to join you. If you succeed in doing either, Giratina will understand. The distortion of the two worlds will stop!"''
:If talked to again: ''"I know that the bond you share with your Pokémon is strong!"''

* After battle with Giratina
:''"Giratina seems to have understood us!"''
:''"...The places we are born. The time we spend living... The languages we speak... We are all different. But the presence of Pokémon unites us. We share our lives with our Pokémon and our happiness grows as we all become greater than we were alone. That is why we can battle and trade with anyone we choose..."''
:''"... ... Since there is sadness, we can feel joy. When there is anger, compassion is born... Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."''
:If talked to again: ''"Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."''

=====[[Sendoff Spring]]=====
:''"...This place?! It's the Sendoff Spring... It's said to somehow lead to the great beyond... And Giratina was said to live in a world on the opposite side of ours. Oh! I'm sincerely sorry! It's very rude of me! <Player>, you are incredible! You're really a fantastic trainer! Let me say this on behalf of all Sinnoh: <Player>, thank you! Oh! That's right! You have to tell Prof.Rowan! He was very worried about you. You should visit him at his lab."''
:If talked to again: ''"You have to go tell Prof. Rowan about this at his lab. He was very worried about you."''

====={{si|Pokémon League}}=====
*Before battle
:''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for [[Mt. Coronet]]. And the [[Distortion World]]. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, I accept your challenge!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

*Being defeated
:''"...Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

====={{DL|Celestic Town|Celestic Ruins}}=====
*After entering the [[Hall of Fame]]
:''"This cave painting...It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} appearing at the [[Spear Pillar]]. The three lights around it were thought to be {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. May I continue? But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be {{p|Arceus|what created this world of ours}}? May I continue for a little bit longer? Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient [[Plate]]s they find all over [[Sinnoh]]? One of them had this engraved on it. 'Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One.' I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga or Palkia. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how Giratina fits into this scheme of things, but... It's said that in the [[Distortion World]], neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about Giratina, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, Giratina has to have a power opposite of theirs. I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit? A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}}...Palkia's {{m|Spacial Rend}}...To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth...That's what I believe as a researcher of myths. I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again."''

[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|right|Cynthia with Arceus]]
Cynthia makes an appearance in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|Arceus}} and the [[creation trio]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker, when the main character visits the [[Ruins of Alph]], it will reveal the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Inside, Cynthia is found, and will tell the player that Arceus will let him/her obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns with an Arceus caught at the [[Hall of Origin]], which has not yet had [[Azure Flute|its event item]] released, they will be informed she has returned to Sinnoh and the event will run without her.

====Quotes====
=====[[Sinjoh Ruins]]=====
'''In the cabin'''
:''"My name is Cynthia. I am a Pokémon Trainer. The {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} remind me of [[Sinnoh]], where I come from. Initially, I thought it was because it snows a lot here as well. But that was not it. A long time ago... people came from Sinnoh to live here. They must have built a temple here while longing for home. That's why we call these the {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}}..."''

*If Arceus is in the party
:''"You are... a [[Pokémon Trainer]]? I can sense strong power coming from your [[Poké Ball]]..."''
:''"I feel a familiar presence... The power of <sc>Dialga</sc>... <sc>Palkia</sc>... or could it be <sc>Giratina</sc>? It's similar, but not quite the same... Have you got time? Can you come to the {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} with me? Call it a Trainer's intuition. When you and your Pokémon step onto that stage, something will happen."''
* If Arceus is not in the party
:''"I wouldn't assume you managed to get here by yourself. This is a heavy-snowfall area where the snowbound land freezes you to the core... Talk to the old man if you wish to go back. <sc>Abra</sc> should be able to take you where you come from."''

'''Inside the ruins'''
*If Arceus is not the walking Pokémon
:''"The {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} are what remains of a temple built to show respect for <sc>Arceus</sc>.
*If Arceus is the walking Pokémon
:''"This is the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. The mythical stage built to show respect for <sc>Arceus</sc>. It is said that people used to celebrate its magnificent might with music and dance. Some people in Johto still pass down this tradition."''

*If the player has anything but a single Arceus in the party
:''"The {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} allows a single <sc>Arceus</sc> and nothing else to get on the stage... If you wish to go up there, you will have to deposit your other Pokémon in PC Box at the cabin."''
*If the player only has a single {{p|Arceus}} in the party
:''"According to an ancient document, time, space, and antimatter, or what combined we call the world, shall be born when <sc>Arceus</sc> stands on the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. This is where one might say, "The lead enters the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} at last." All my study of ruins and Pokémon mythology in Sinnoh may have been to bring you up on this stage here today... Depicted on the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} are the Pokémon that shaped this world. The circle in the middle is <sc>Arceus</sc>, the origin of it all..."''
:''"This is the pattern that represents <sc>Palkia</sc>, the master of space and dimensions..."''
:''"This is the pattern that represents <sc>Dialga</sc>, the guardian of time..."''
:''"This is the pattern that represents <sc>Giratina</sc>, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..."''
:''"<sc>Arceus</sc> has accepted you as a Trainer. <sc>Arceus</sc>, having shaped the world, is said to show you a glimpse of its true power. The power of possibly making life appear out of nothing..."''
:''"It seems that something will happen when you chose one of the circles... You'll want to be well prepared."''

:''"Once you are ready, choose a circle and stand in the middle of it."''

* Standing on {{p|Dialga}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Dialga</sc>, the guardian of time?"''
* Standing on {{p|Palkia}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Palkia</sc>, the master of space and dimensions?"''
* Standing on {{p|Giratina}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Giratina</sc>, the ruler of the [[Distortion World]]?"''

:''"That shining sphere... Could it be...an {{pkmn|Egg}}? Did we just witness the very moment an Egg was brought to this world? A moment no one has ever seen?"''
:''"An Egg is the cradle of every being. The planet itself is an Egg in a sense... Life that comes from an Egg will come to an end in due course... to begin anew... That may be what <sc>Arceus</sc> wanted to show us."''
:''"That was...? We seem to be surrounded by that strong power again...!"''

==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
Cynthia appears in a house in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated and afterwards reappears during spring and summer. During [[Seasons|spring]], she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. She speaks about a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} who defeated her, and mentions that Trainer defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the events of {{game|Platinum}}.

====Quotes====
=====[[Undella Town]]=====
'''Initial visit and battle'''
:''"What's this?"''
:''"What an uncanny resemblance... It's surprising to meet another Trainer who has intense eyes like that {{ga|Lucas|Pokémon}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}}. What's your name? ... OK. I'll remember that! <{{Player|Player}}>, nice to meet you. I'm Cynthia. I'm a Pokémon Trainer, too, like you. I have an insatiable curiosity for researching Pokémon myths."''
:''"I'm sure you know about Undella Town's [[Abyssal Ruins]], right? I'm staying here at my friend's villa so I can investigate them."''
:''"In order to get to know each other better as Pokémon Trainers, I would like our Pokémon to have a match. Would you care to be my opponent?"''

::'''No''': ''"Ha ha. You prefer to take things slowly and rationally, am I right? When you're ready, come and talk to me. I'll be happy to see you."''

:''"Oh. You've had a chance to get ready? I do want our Pokémon to have a match... Are you prepared to be my opponent?"

::'''Yes''': ''"Before I send out my Pokémon, my heart always begins to race... Interesting... My Pokémon in their Poké Balls are radiating a happy feeling. Are you the reason? What are you?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"''
*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"''
*Being defeated
:''"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"''

*After being defeated
:''"That was beyond my expectation! What an exceptional {{pkmn|battle}}! You certainly bear a resemblance to that Trainer who faced {{p|Giratina}}... Oh, pardon me. I was just thinking out loud. I love being here in [[seasons|spring and summer]]. I can't stay all year, because there's so much to investigate in [[Sinnoh]], as well. You're a great Trainer, and it would make me happy to see you again sometime."''

*Afterword
:''"I love to come here in spring and summer. But there are a lot of things to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. I'd be delighted to see you again. You're an awesome Pokémon Trainer!"''

'''During the Spring and rematch'''
*Before battle
:''"How terrific to see you again! I've got to tell you... My Pokémon are excited to battle yours. Would you care to be my opponent?"''
::'''No''': ''"Oh, what a pity. Summers in Undella Town make me feel like I'm on holiday. I forget about battling! But in spring, I feel like getting worked up with a good battle."''
:''"I can tell that my Pokémon are excited about battling your Pokémon... Would you care to be my opponent?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"This will be such fun! No holds barred!"''
::'''No''':
*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"''
*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"''
*Being defeated
:''"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"''

*After being defeated
:''"For some reason, this reminds me of a time when I told a Trainer like you to go see many, many more places and to meet many more Pokémon. For me, it has really been worthwhile to come all the way to far Unova. Why? Because... I met you, and my world got wider!"''

*Before battle
:''"To live their lives to the fullest, people and Pokémon need the chance to throw themselves into battle against the fiercest opposition. That's why I want to battle you. How about it?"''

:: '''No:''' ''"I'm a little disappointed. I know you can battle on bigger stages than you've done so far! It's so plain to me that your light can shine brighter than this..."''

:''"Are you prepared? Let's battle at full strength and see how bright our lights can shine!"''

::'''Yes:''' ''"As our Pokémon meet in battle, I'll learn more about you and how you've taken care of them."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"''
*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"''
*Being defeated
:''"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"''

*After being defeated
:''"When you meet Trainers, battle them to learn about the kind of people they are. Observe the Pokémon they choose, which moves they taught them, and which items the Pokémon hold. You don't need words at such times... If you want to know more about me... Come to Sinnoh!"''

'''During the Summer'''
:''"I'd love to live here...But if I did, there would be a mountain of research piled up...Am I right? Cynthia, enough for now! Next time, clean up."''
:''"What is necessary for becoming stronger than you are now? My answer is simply loving Pokemon with all your heart. That's how I am, so that's all I can say."''
:''"Hmm. This is difficult. I was greedy and bought a lot of swimsuits, but now I can't pick which one to wear."''
:''"Here's my problem. I have a {{game3|Black and White|white|s}} swimsuit and a {{game3|Black and White|black|s}} swimsuit...Which one would look better on me?"''
:''"Once every few years, the Champions of each region gather and compete to see who is the strongest! An interesting idea, don't you agree?"

==In the anime==
[[File:Cynthia DP anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Cynthia in her original outfit]]
[[File:Cynthia BWS2.png|thumb|Cynthia in the ''Best Wishes series'']]
Cynthia was first mentioned in [[Lucian]]'s flashback in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', along with the members of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

She properly debuted in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', where she was first seen battling against Lucian with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} on television. She then arrived in person in [[Amity Square]], where she was studying ancient tablets. It was here that she met {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Paul]], who rushed down to Amity Square after they heard rumors of Cynthia being there. Paul challenged her to a [[Full battle]], but Cynthia won easily. She then mentioned that she was just like Paul in her youth, determined to win with the strongest Pokémon. After the battle, because Nurse Joy was busy, she and {{an|Brock}} personally healed Paul's Pokémon, after convincing him to take them to a Pokémon Center. After this, back at the Amity Square Ruins, she explained something written there means very much to her: "When every life meets another life, something will be born". Later, Ash would think about this quote from time to time. Cynthia then decided to go to [[Celestic Town]], where she planned to study the legend of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb}}.

Cynthia's next appearance was in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', in Celestic Town, where she, along with Ash, his friends, her grandmother [[Professor Carolina]] and [[Officer Jenny]]'s police officers, tried to stop [[Team Galactic]] from stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb}}.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Cynthia battled with {{EF|Aaron}} to defend her title of Champion of the Sinnoh region on television, which she won. Ash and his friends commented that while Aaron was strong enough to be a member of the [[Elite Four]], Cynthia was still far stronger than him.

Cynthia then appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', where she helped Ash and his friends protect the [[lake guardians]] and put a stop to Team Galactic at [[Spear Pillar]].

In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', {{EF|Flint}} revealed that he intended to challenge Cynthia for her title of Champion.

She also appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where she observed the [[Sinnoh League]] tournament alongside [[Charles Goodshow]], making her the first current Champion to appear at a [[Pokémon League Conference]]. While watching, she showed a deep interest in the battle between Ash and Paul. At the end of the competition, she personally delivered the trophy to the winner, {{si|Tobias}}, who had won the Sinnoh League and the right to face the Elite Four.

She appeared in ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss!]]'', where Ash and his friends watched her battle with Flint for the title of Champion. Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of her Pokémon, but Garchomp ultimately defeated [[Flint's Infernape]], earning Cynthia the victory.

Cynthia also had a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where she was engaged in a battle against {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}. Cynthia also made a cameo in the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Cynthia reappeared in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. She met up with Ash again in [[Virbank City]] in [[Unova]] at an ice cream stand. She told Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} about the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where she would have a exhibition match. Ash and {{ashfr}} then decided to go with Cynthia and participate. On the way to the seaport to take a plane to Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]], she almost hit an injured {{an|Meloetta}} with her car. She discovered that it was suffering from a fever and gave Ash, Iris, and Cilan instructions on how to make it feel better. She asked Iris and Cilan to find a Berry for it while she and Ash would get some ice. She was revealed to have a {{p|Glaceon}} which used {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the water. Cynthia and Ash broke the ice and took it to Meloetta.

After it recovered a little, Iris asked Cynthia if she could battle her and her Garchomp while she used {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, as Iris was thrilled to battle a {{type|Dragon}} she had never met before. Cynthia agreed and the battle got underway. Even though Axew learned {{m|Giga Impact}} during the battle, Garchomp proved to be way too strong for Axew. Just when Garchomp was about to hit Axew with {{m|Brick Break}}, Cynthia stopped Garchomp from attacking and ended the battle before Axew could get hurt. In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Ash and his friends arrived in Undella Town, at Cynthia's villa. Here, Ash was reunited with {{an|Dawn}} for the first time since his journey in Sinnoh. After that, Cynthia watched a battle between Dawn and Cilan.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Cynthia was seen talking with [[Alder]] in [[Lacunosa Town]], where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup was held. Later, she participated in an exhibition match with her Garchomp against Unova Elite Four member [[Caitlin]] and her {{p|Gothitelle}}. The battle resulted in a draw after the battle's 10 minute time limit ran out. She then appeared in ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', where she observed the tournament and helped Iris with {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}'s problem with listening to her commands and gave [[Trip]] some advice. After the conversation Trip thought to himself that after defeating Alder, she would be next. In the [[BW092|following episode]], Cynthia was seen watching the battle of Iris against Ash and after the battle, Cynthia talked to Iris about their relationships with Pokémon. In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Cynthia was seen watching the battle Trip was allowed to have against Alder for winning the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. After this, she watched the closing ceremony of the competition. Back in Undella Town, she watched a battle between Ash and Dawn, and later went with the others to wave Dawn farewell when she went to [[Johto]].

She next appeared in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', where she helped Ash and his friends put a stop to Team Rocket's Operation Tempest and saved the [[Unova]] [[region]] from the [[Forces of Nature]]'s [[Form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]]'s rage. She said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' after informing him that the [[Unova League]] was starting in a few days. Cynthia also made a cameo in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|right|200px|Cynthia and [[Looker]] in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]'' where she is seen correctly predicting the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Prinplup|Empoleon}}. After laughing at Dia and Pearl's Manzai, she decided to give Platinum some advice for her upcoming Gym challenge against [[Gardenia]]. Afterwards, she invades the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] and frees the bike store owner, Rad Rickshaw, with ease using her {{p|Spiritomb}}'s Psychic combined with attacks of Diamond's Tru and Platinum's Prinplup. She later appears at Mr. Backlot's mansion where she investigates a case of missing Psyduck and takes the group to Route 210 and uses the [[Secret Potion]] to cure the Psyduck roadblock of their headaches. After meeting up with her grandmother, Cynthia takes the one Psyduck that belonged to a Trainer back to its owner, lending her Garchomp to them for protection. In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'' during Diamond and Pearl's infiltration of the Galactic HQ, she personally challenges Cyrus to a one on one battle, despite her best efforts and powerful Pokémon she is unable to defeat him and he escapes with her too exhausted to follow. Later, she takes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the Spear Pillar where they fight their final battle against him and the legendary Dialga and Palkia.

During {{chap|Platinum}}, [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] mentors her in using {{m|Draco Meteor}}. In ''[[PS441|Alternate Dimension Showdown XI]]'', she stops [[Charon]] and {{p|Giratina}} in [[Sunyshore City]].

She has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|games}}, Cynthia's Pokémon have perfect {{IV}}s, with all being 31.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, when Cynthia visits the player at their [[Villa]], she notes how relaxing it is there and that she doesn't want to go home because her house is a complete mess. She goes on to say, "My house? Even the [[region]] is a secret!" hinting that she may live in a region other than Sinnoh.
* Not including the rivals, Cynthia is the only NPC in the games to receive a Pokédex.
* There is a mistake in Pokémon Platinum with Cynthia. After the player heads into Distortion World, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.
* In the Generation IV games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that generation.
* Cynthia is the only female in the Champions tournament

Talk:Mount Coronet

2013-09-26T23:04:29Z

Just a simple edit: /* Pokemon rate in Floor 1F (Route 207 Entrance) for Platinum */

Since [[Spear Pillar]] and the [[Hall of Origin]] are part of Mt. Coronet, shouldn't they just be described on this page? - [[User:Pacaman|Pacaman]] 07:40, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
:That's like saying that [[Mt. Pyre]] is part of {{rt|122}}, though, in my eyes. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
::No, it's more like saying the interior floors, the exterior area, and the summit of Mt. Pyre are part of Mt. Pyre. They are all part of the same mountain, so they are listed in the same article. Since Spear Pillar is the top Mt. Coronet and the only way to get to it is through Mt. Coronet, I think Spear Pillar should definately be included in this article. I guess I'm not as strong on including Hall of Origin, but I still think including the hall makes sense. -- [[User:Pacaman|Pacaman]] 18:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
:::By the same logic, shouldn't we just put everything in Sinnoh in its article? If there is enough to Spear Pillar to warrant a seperate page then it only needs a linked mention here. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 19:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah. I honestly should have used [[Viridian Forest]] and {{rt|2}} as my examples instead. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
:::::No, it doesn't have enough unique information to warrant it's own page. It's basically just another floor of Mt. Coronet. The summit of Mt. Pyre doesn't have a seperate article. Shoal Cave's "ice room" doesn't have its own article. Mt. Moon's basement doesn't have its own article. The room where Red is in Mt. Silver doesn't have a seperate article. Spear Pillar shouldn't either. - [[User:Pacaman|Pacaman]] 17:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
But the summit of Mt. Pyre is still known as Mt. Pyre. Shoal Cave's ice room is still known as Shoal Cave. Mt. Moon's basement is still known as Mt. Moon. Red's area is still known as Mt. Silver. Pokémon caught/hatched there have that as their caught area. However, if you hatch or catch a Pokémon at Mt. Coronet, it says it was caught there, while at Spear Pillar it says it was caught at Spear Pillar, and at the Hall of Origin it says it was caught at the Hall of Origin. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
:Well, when I see it that way, I guess you're right. - [[User:Pacaman|Pacaman]] 17:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me or is this article brutally out of date? Does anybody know enough about Mt Coronet to be able to at least update it with Platinum Pokemon?--[[User:Heyyopat|Heyyopat]] 01:50, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

==Updating==

Are there some Pokemon available for capture in Mt. Coronet that aren't mentioned on the page? I was looking at Dratini's page, and it said it could be captured in Mt. Coronet, but where is not specified (and unfortunately, I don't know or I would add the information myself). [[User:Matkin22|Matkin22]] 17:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Umm... I just came across TWO Nosepass in the summit, at DAYTIME, while it mentions, that they are not there.
I didn't pay too much attention on the first one, but the second one was a female, level 38 one.
This happened on Platinum.

It's 2am here and i encountered a clefairy. The encounter rate on platinum is not 0 at night. Two in a row at 2am. maybe not even 5%
On the first floor it mean.

==The Elusive Feebas==

Are the four random tiles in which Feebas appears on the shoreline only? Or are they scattered throughout the water? [[User:The Jigglypuff Ninja|The Jigglypuff Ninja]] 23:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:Like after giving you the ability to fish while surfing they'd be nice and do that. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== Layout ==

Should the Items section be redesigned? Currently, every item located in Mt. Coronet seems to come under the Dialga / Palkia quest heading, despite the fact that some items don't require all the above HMs, and do require Rock Climb.
I've also found an Escape Rope in plain view, and a hidden Max Potion, Super Repel and Max Revive that I'm reluctant to place into the list before I know it's helpful and reliable to the reader.

[[User:H4r8z0r|H4r8z0r]] 18:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:Well, most of the items are available conveniently during the DP quest, while otherwise it takes a lot of backtracking. I dunno how exactly they're organized on this page, and since I'm not about to restart my game... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia addition? ==

Using the walk any where cheat it is possible to get to a plot of grass and on the east side wall there is a hole in the wall that looks like an entrance into the mountain but you can't go in. This is probably just a prototype entrance but I find it interesting. Is is good enough for the trivia section? [[User:Rucario64|Rucario]][[User Talk:Rucario64|64]] 13:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean that place where there is only one tuft of grass and then an entrance to the east?You can access that place by using rock climb,and the entrance leads right out of Mt Coronet,to the Celestic Town entrance.I think it's only one way.[[User:Uxie legend|Uxie Legend]] 17:00, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

== Help. ==

I '''really''' need help to get to the spear piller in my Pokémon Pearl game because I been wandering through Mt. Coronet so much I think the floor is going to fall. '''''PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!'''''.[[User:Glitchym1|Mglitch♀]] 22:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
:...don't be stupid. It's not like the [[Ice Path]]. It's nothing to get through.
:Now go play your game. We're not a walkthrough. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:25, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

== Abomasnow ==
Snover evolve to abomasnow at level 40 and a 38 aboasnow is there, shall i add it to trivia?

Just as a heads-up, don't forget to sign. No. There are lots of places (especially trainer battles) which do this. An example could be Mars' Purugly during your first battle with her --[[User:Hyurnat4|Hyurnat4]] 06:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Surfing Here ==
Is this the only place you can catch non-Water/Dragon-type Pokémon (like Zubat) while surfing? Is that worth mentioning in trivia, if it is true? --[[User:Crystal_Shards|'''Crystal Shards''']] 18:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
:There's a location in every region where you can find Zubat/Golbat while surfing. It's nothing new. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:20, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
::Is it just one location in every region? If so, it might be worth mentioning, since it's... different? I dunno. That said, I don't know what the locations are, as for some reason Mr. Coronet was the first place I saw/noticed it, myself. --[[User:Crystal_Shards|'''Crystal Shards''']] 00:22, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
:::There's at least one. Put simply, if you can Surf, and you can find Zubat, you can find Zubat while surfing. It isn't really anything special. If you'd like an explanation, I guess the player finds the bats flying over the water. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:45, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
:::: Nah, I just thought maybe if it was a single place per region it'd be worth mentioning. Thanks though. --[[User:Crystal_Shards|'''Crystal Shards''']] 01:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::Actually, I don't seem to recall being able to find Zubat or Golbat while surfing until [[Generation III]]. However, in Hoenn, finding Zubat or Golbat while Surfing wasn't a rare sight in many caves that had both water and Zubat and/or Golbat. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
==Celestic shorcut blocker grunt==
This guy is a living in-game reference to another grunt when he says "Yep, I'm hopelessly lost." But as TTE pointed out he's only there to serve as a roadblock. --[[User:Sting the Trainer|Sting the Trainer]] 03:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Pokemon levels ==

The page needs changing. It says Chingling is available at 38-40 but I encountered one at 37--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 08:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

== Pokemon Rate in Platinum in Summit ==

The pokemon encounter rate in the summit area for the platinum pokemon is totally messed up in the article. With [[Bronzong]] being unavailable here in Platinum, and [[Nosepass]] and [[Absol]] added (as per the article), the encounter rates need to be altered, perhaps for the other pokemon too. Currently, it says Absol at 100% for ''Day'' and ''Night'' and [[Nosepass]] only 5% during the night. Also the total addd up as '''100%''' for Morning, '''195%''' for Day and '''200%''' for Night. This needs to be cleared up.
[[User:Ishu_bagaria|Ishu Bagaria]]. 16th Nov 2010.

== Map ==
Where is Mt. Coronet? I see a map of Sinnoh, but no indication where Mt. Coronet is. I haven't played the game yet but I will soon, so I want to know where everything is. [[User:BrianPokemonTrainer|BrianPokemonTrainer]] 21:53, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

: Mt. Coronet is a very large mountain range exactly in the middle of the sinnoh region that streches a long way from north to south.

I'm very bad at making maps. We definitely need someone to put up maps for the different floors inside of Mt. Coronet.
[[User:Ishu_bagaria|Ishu Bagaria]] 22:40, 14th November 2010 (UTC)

== Items ==

The item list does not contain the items available for the platinum version for several floors. I will update them as I play the game and go through those areas. Please post here if you find any corrections.
Thanks.
[[User:Ishu_bagaria|Ishu Bagaria]] 22:45, 14th November 2010 (UTC)

== Feebas levels? ==

I was playing Pearl ver. and I managed to find a square with Feebas. The Lv ranges from 10-20, which is utterly, totally different from the L20-50 shown in this article. Of course I could change the Lv to 10-50 but due to the lack of data I cannot accurately determine if 10-20 also holds for Diamond/Platinum and/or if 20-50 also holds true for Pearl (i.e. 20-50 for the other 3 squares?) I've tried searching the levels elsewhere but there wasn't any satisfactory results. Would anyone like to verify? ---> '''[[User:AquaDragon|{{color|6890F0|Aqua}}]][[User_talk:AquaDragon|{{color|7038F8|Dragon}}]]''' 09:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Whiscash ==

I found a level 53 Whiscash with the super rod in that big lake in Platinum. Perhaps the levels go up to 55? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 19:06, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

== Pokemon rate in Floor 1F (Route 207 Entrance) for Platinum ==

Again, the pokemon encounter rates do not add up and go well beyond 100%, especially for morning for this area. Most probably the difference arose due to addition of pokemon (Nosepass and Bronzor) available in this area in platinum which were not available in Diamond/Pearl. Thus the encounter rates for Platinum are different than those in Diamond/Pearl for other pokemon and need to be added.

== Method To Obtain Feebass ==
should we state this method on obtaining feebass

In order to find Feebas in Pokemon Pearl, there are a few things that you must have before you can go out and try to capture them:

1. A Pokemon that knows the HM 03 Surf :)
2. A Pokemon that knows the HM 06 Defog :)
3. A Pokemon that knows the HM 04 Strength :)
4. A Good Rod or Super Rod.

After you have all four of those things, Fly to Celestic Town and go west onto the Route there and enter Mt. Coronet through that entrance. After you enter Mt. Coronet there, you must head north and push aside the boulder that is blocking your path with Strength.

After that, head north and then west when the tunnel heads west (left). Go down the stairs and you should be in an area with a lot of fog. Use Defog and head west and then north, making sure to make your way down to the huge lake in this area of Mt. Coronet.

After you get to the edge of the water, use Surf and Surf all the way into the upper-right hand corner. From there, move 1 tile left and turn around and fish in the upper right hand corner. Make sure that you have the Good Rod set to the Y Button so that you can easily access it. Fish twice in the upper right hand corner, then move back into the upper right hand corner and turn left and fish twice in the tile directly left of you.

Continue this pattern until you finish that row, then fish twice in the tile directly down from the end of the row that you were on and then head back towards the upper-right hand corner (the row below it), fishing twice in every tile there is in that row.

Continue this process throughout the entire lake or until you find a Feebas.

Feebas only appear in 4 of the massive amount of tiles that are in the lake, and they only have about a 10-25% chance of appearing, so you might have to fish in every tile more than twice :)

Oh, I forgot to mention that the tiles that the Feebas appear in are completely different in every single game. While your friend might have found a Feebas in the upper-right hand corner tile, you might not.
This was a method posted on yahoo answers so I copyed it from there I think it should be stated (Just_A_Simple_Edit)

Rematch

2013-09-08T02:51:05Z

Just a simple edit: /* Rival */

A '''rematch''' or '''re-battle''' is the second or subsequent battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}} or {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In the main series games, it is mandatory for the {{player}} to defeat certain Trainers to advance within the game. Technically, if the player is defeated, they are given the chance to battle this opponent again until defeated (except in exceptional circumstances), it is still considered a rematch.

Most of the time, however, if a Trainer is defeated, that Trainer will not be available for a rematch until certain conditions have been met. When Trainers usually agree to rematch, their Pokémon will have become stronger (level up or evolution), or they would already have acquired more Pokémon (sometimes from another region, once the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]).

==Types of rematch==
[[File:Route 22 Rival battle RBY.png|thumb|right|Encountering the Rival on {{rt|22|Kanto}}]]
===Elite Four and Champion===
In the early [[Generation I]] games, only the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}/[[Rival]] were able to be re-battled. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} introduced the concept of having the Elite Four and Champion's rematch teams at higher levels, with different Pokémon and more competitive movesets.

===Rival===
Since Generation I, the player's [[Rival]] plays a key role within the game, occasionally giving hints, helping out or even challenging the player to a rematch. With the exception of {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} in Generation III, the player's rival can be repeatedly rematched after defeating the Elite Four of that region.

The following table shows where and when the player's Rival can be challenged for subsequent rematches:
{| align="center" style="{{roundy|15px}} background: #{{locationcolor/med|sand}}; border: 5px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|sand}};"
|
{| border=1 width="100%" align="center" style=" {{roundy|15px}}; background:#{{locationcolor/light|sand}}; border:3px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|sand}}"

|}
|}

===Regular Trainers===
From [[Generation II]] onwards, rematches were extended to regular Trainers found along normal routes and caves. Appearing in Pokémon {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Pokégear]] allowed the player to exchange telephone numbers with specific Trainers, allowing them to contact the player for a rematch. In [[Generation III]], the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Trainer's Eyes}} or {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}} found in Pokémon {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} has similar functions as the Pokégear, keeping track of Trainers who want to re-battle the player. However, the only way to rematch with these Trainers was to wait until they were ready, which meant that the player could not control who and when they wanted to battle.

[[File:Vs Seeker demonstration FRLG.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}} uses the Vs. Seeker on {{rt|25|Kanto}}. Five Trainers wish to have a rematch.]]

The introduction of the [[Vs. Seeker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} allowed the player to conveniently locate and identify Trainers within an outside area who were ready for a rematch, giving more control over who and where the player wanted to battle. The Vs. Seeker is charged by taking 100 steps, thus reducing the timespan a player has to wait between each rematch (as opposed to waiting for a call).

Additionally, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} certain Trainers can be challenged daily at [[Seven Stars Restaurant]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, players may also fight the maids in the 5-Maid Knockout Exact-Turn Attack Challenge in {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Besides that, in {{game|Platinum}}, several Trainers appear in [[Pokémon Centers]] of different cities who can be battled every day. Their particular location changes daily.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the upgrades for the teams of the Trainers that can be re-battled are fought in three different rematch phases. The requirement for going to the next phase is to face each rematch phase, as well as getting past a certain point in the game. While the first phase is accomplished from the first rematch, the second phase's requirement is that the player must defeat the Elite Four, and the final phase's requirement is for the player to have all sixteen Badges. For example, Youngster [[Joey]]'s {{p|Rattata}} becomes a {{p|Raticate}} for the first rematch, and its level increases further during each rematch phase.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will challenge the player to a battle upon sight as long as the player has left the area since their last battle. This occurs regardless of whether they have been battled prior and without the need for the player to use special items.

===Gym Leaders===
Gym Leader rematches were first introduced in [[Generation III]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However in [[Generation IV]], Gym Leaders were not available for rematches in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.

====Pokémon Emerald====
{{incomplete|section}}
In {{game|Emerald}}, the Gym Leaders can be rematched through a [[Double Battle]] via the [[PokéNav]]'s {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}}. The player must have defeated the [[Elite Four]].


[[File:Battleground Pt.png|230px|thumb|right|Battleground (from left): Maylene, Volkner, the player, the Café owner]]

====Pokémon Platinum====
{{main|Battleground}}
In {{game|Platinum}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Sinnoh]], together with the player's previous [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]], can be found in the [[Battleground]]. Up to four of these {{pkmn|Trainer}}s appear each day and they can be battled only once a day. Resetting before entering the Battleground would change the Trainers who are inside.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:Fighting Dojo HGSS.png|230px|thumb|left|The Fighting Dojo with all the Gym Leaders]]
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] would be found in the [[Fighting Dojo]]. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.

To re-battle a Gym Leader, the player has to first obtain the Gym Leader's number. Following that, the player can call the Gym Leader at any time, but he or she will only accept a rematch when their schedule is free.

When a Gym Leader has accepted a rematch, he or she will stay in the [[Fighting Dojo]] until he or she is defeated. There is no limit to the number of times a Gym Leader can be rematched.

Note that the phone numbers for most of the Leaders can be obtained after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. However, rematches with the Gym Leaders cannot be scheduled until after the {{Badge|Earth}} has been obtained (i.e. {{ga|Blue}} has been defeated).

=====Gym Leader phone listing=====
Each Leader's telephone number must be obtained from them personally when he or she is out of their Gym (except Chuck and Blue, which have to be obtained from their wife and sister respectively). By speaking with them at the appropriate time and place, players can obtain their phone numbers.

The following table shows how each Leader's number can be obtained:

=====Gym Leader rematch schedule=====

===Legendary and special encounter Pokémon===
In all games, being defeated by a legendary Pokémon does not cause it to disappear. In all games in which [[roaming Pokémon]] exist, [[Escape|fleeing]] from them does not cause them to vanish; the game simply behaves the same as if they were the ones to flee.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, if the player flees from a stationary [[legendary Pokémon]] it will reappear upon leaving and re-entering the room, unlike the previous games where a stationary legendary Pokémon could only be encountered once. The game informs the player that "The <sc><Pokémon></sc> flew away!"

In Pokémon Platinum, if the player defeats or flees from a stationary legendary Pokémon, it reappears after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] again. If the player defeats a [[roaming Pokémon]], the player must re-trigger the event which caused it to start roaming; for example, the player must talk to [[Professor Oak]] to cause a [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to resume roaming. If the player flees from or defeats [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}} in the [[Distortion World]], it will reappear in [[Turnback Cave]] in its Altered Forme, where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon.

This was extended to all stationary Pokémon ([[red Gyarados]], {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Snorlax}}) in HeartGold and SoulSilver. If {{p|Suicune}} is defeated or fled from, [[Eusine]] will comment on this fact, and it will instead reappear at the [[Burned Tower]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. If {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}} or {{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} is defeated or fled from during the storyline, the [[Kimono Girl]]s will comment on this fact then leave, but the two still behave like all stationary Pokémon.

In Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} must be caught; defeating, fleeing or losing to the Pokémon does not cause it to disappear, and the story cannot be progressed until it is caught; instead, the player is warped back to the {{un|Pokémon League}} [[Pokémon Center]] to try again. However, if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]], it is possible to progress without catching it. If this situation occurs, it will instead appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating [[Team Plasma]], where it behaves in the same way as all other stationary legendary Pokémon. However, it will still not give any [[experience|experience points]] even in that situation.

==In side games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, [[legendary Pokémon]] that have been battled must be fought again in order to be recruited. However, this is only true if the said legendary Pokémon is involved in the storyline.

===Pokémon Ranger===
In the Pokémon Ranger series, the [[Drowsy Guy]] will allow the player to re-do a memorable capture. In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, he allows the player to re-capture the [[legendary beasts]], while in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|the sequel]], he allows the player to re-capture {{p|Darkrai}}. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Nema]] allows the player to re-battle several Boss Pokémon on a model of [[Dolce Island]] via the use of her "Many Times Any Time Capture Machine"

==In the anime==
With the exception of the [[Orange League]] and the [[Unova League]], {{Ash}} has had to rematch at least two Gym Leaders or [[Frontier Brain]]s in each leg of his {{pkmn|journey}}. However, only once has he had a rematch with a Gym Leader he has beaten that isn't in his {{ashfr|circle of friends}}.

Talk:Blaziken (Pokémon)

2013-09-03T02:37:10Z

Just a simple edit: /* Hidden Ability */ new section

By the way, Blaziken would make a brilliant Fighting and Flying type if it wasn't a Fire type. (Irrelevant) [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 17:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

== However, Blaziken does have more power than Infernape. ==

Can somebody rewrite that sentence? It isn't clear what stat this is supposed to be referred to. By power does it mean the Attack stat? Special Attack state? The powerful fire-type moves, clarification needed. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 23:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

== Blaziken resembles Brooklyn from the Gargoyles TV series and comics. ==

Aside from the similarities in color and the fact that they both have a distinctly non-human face, I really don't see the resemblance. [[User:Eeveeman133|Eeveeman133]] 13:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

:I don't see it either, and I'm of the mind that these resemblances need to stop. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

::I removed it. Even for a trivia section, I see no need to point out a vague similarity that was most likely unintended. [[User:Eeveeman133|Eeveeman133]] 19:55, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

:::If you removed it, it's come back. Should it be removed again? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
::::Done. It's been removed. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jel]][[User Talk:Jello|lo]] 20:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

== flaming wrists ==

it says that Blaziken has flames spouting from its wrists like in the anime but how come none of its sprites have them?
[[User:Ultamatecharizard|Ultamatecharizard]] 16:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Um, because they dont. It would be really cool to see one made though.[[User:Shadow lucario|Shadow lucario]] 04:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
:The Mystery Dungeon attack sprites for Blaziken have flamming wrists. [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 18:59, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Blaziken's Blast Burn ==

I think it's necessary to mention that Blaziken's Blast Burn on a [[Paras (Pokémon)|Paras]] can do the most damage (hypothetical) of ALL possible situations (Lv100, with Blaze activated, in strong sunlight, SAtk +6, Metronome maximized, critical hit, as well as Lv1 Paras with Dry Skin, -6 SDef). It's over 10^10. [[User:Rxhar|Rxhar]] 10:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:That's because Paras has a 4x weakness to fire--[[User:Force Fire|FF]]([[Special:Contributions/Force Fire|edits]]•[[User talk:Force Fire|talk]]) 10:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
::And remember that it's not just Blaziken with the Blast Burn. Charizard, Typhlosion, and Infernape too. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 12:48, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, whichever has the highest Sp.A. of those. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 15:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I meant who can have Blast Burn, but I get what you mean. For base Sp. Attack it would be Blaziken with 110, while Charizard and Typhy have 109, and Infernape has 104. I haven't ever had a Blaziken with more Sp. Attack than any Charizard or Typhlosion though. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 20:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, Blaziken's attack ''only'' does 13 million damage. Shuckle's rollout on Yanma does 213 million. [[User:S and T|S and T]] 01:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
I thought it was a maxed defense shuckle with power trick and rollout and defence curl and all that fun stuff--[[User:Bulbsur-ivysaur-venusaur|Bulbsur-ivysaur-venusaur]] 23:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
:Why would it be MAXED defense? [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
::Ignoring the fact that you've just replied to a 3 month old conversation, it needs maxed defense as {{m|Power Trick}} swaps the user's current Attack and Defense stats. It is explained a bit more {{DL|Shuckle (Pokémon)|Trivia|here}}. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:34, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:::oh [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 19:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Double Edge ==

Can we say If a Blaziken was migrated from Fr/Lg to DPPt knowing Double Edge, then learning the other two versions it can know, then will it be the only Pokémon to know the most as of Gen IV or are there others. I've the best as I can so I need some confirmation. Thank You. {{u|Laxafett}} 12:25, 12 July 2009(UTC)

==Smeargle==
Why is Smeargle not listed as a parent in Blaziken's Egg Move table? There should be no instances where Chain breeding is "required".--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 04:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

==Edit Request==
Anime Pokedex EP271 Ash's Pokedex 'Blaziken, the Blaze Pokémon. Blaziken is able to easily leap over 30 story buildings with its great lower body stregnth.' Please and thank you. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
:Added. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 19:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

== Superman Origins? ==

Blaziken shares many similarities with Superman, including the ability to "leap tall buildings in a single bound". At least 30 ft tall buildings. Also they kinda share a color scheme, Blaziken has blue and yellow eyes. Another thing, in the PokePark Pad entry, it mentions him loving power and justice. Is this worth mentioning anywhere? --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|"FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2"]] 01:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
:I agree with you. It's learning Brave bird might be a reference to superman's flying. [[User:S and T|S and T]] 05:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
::Well, I think that's probably just because it's a bird. --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 23:42, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
:::No. <s>It doesn't have a big red S anywhere on its body</s> This is opinion.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 01:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
::::How is it opinion? --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 07:23, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

== Blaziken's Movepool ==

I noticed in Generation III, Blaziken was able to learn Mirror Move through Level Up, but in Generations IV and V, Mirror Move was replaced with Brave Bird. Is that trivia worthy on Blaziken's page or could this be noted on Mirror Move and/or Brave Bird's page? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] 16:38, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
:That's not trivia worthy. Movesets change like that all the time. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:44, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
::Ok. I was just curious. Thanks anyway. :) --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] 19:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== Mega ==

Shouldn't the generation 6 Mega evolution, Mega Bursyamo (English name not known yet) be added to this page? As reported on Bulbanews, it was confirmed in Corocoro. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 18:27, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
:It'll be added '''in time'''. We have little information on what Mega Evolution even is right now. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 18:29, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
::Shouldn't we at least add a picture? [[User:Shanicpower|Shanicpower]] ([[User talk:Shanicpower|talk]]) 18:14, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:::No. Let's at least wait to see the actual procedure on how exactly Blaziken changes into his mega form. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 22:55, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
When MegaBlaziken's section is added/new page is created, should it be mentioned in the 'Trivia' section that MegaBlaziken's "hair" is slightly reminiscent of the original design for the beta version of [[Torchic]] in that it sticks out in two parts at either side of the top of the head?--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 20:10, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

== Biology ==

Someone edited the Biology section with information on Mega Blaziken. Someone ALSO completely removed all of the sub-sections from Biology (Gender Differences, Habitat, etc.) and rewrote the entire thing, turning it into three painful paragraphs. It was unnecessary, and a bit messy now. I've noticed it on a few other Pokémon pages, too, such as Combusken, Sceptile, etc. Was this intentional? It looked much nicer the other way. [[User:Austinrich1|Austinrich1]] ([[User talk:Austinrich1|talk]]) 00:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
:See [[Bulbapedia:Messages from the Editor|here]] as to why the Biology section was changed. — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 00:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

== Hidden Ability ==

I've looked online and no one knows how to teach a starter Pokémon a hidden ability blazkin has one. I thought they would be taught in an event or breeding but according to what you said this won't work as the event has it's original ability and you can't get starters from the dream world so breeding is out of the question so does anyone know how you get blazkin's hidden ability?

Battle Tower

2013-09-01T15:04:47Z

Just a simple edit: /* Intro */

:''This article is about actual buildings. For the TV program, see [[Jubilife TV#Battle Tower|Jubilife TV]].''
----
[[File:LaRousse Battle Tower.png|thumb|right|300px|[[LaRousse City]] Battle Tower]]
'''Battle Towers''' are special areas set up specifically for [[Pokémon battle]]s. Trainers register their Pokémon on the first floor and climb up the floors in a number of battles, fighting other Trainers one by one. There is no penalty for losing other than breaking the player's streak. From [[Generation III]] onward, there are a number of rules that can also be changed within the tower - such as fighting in [[Double Battle]]s{{tt|*|Pokémon Emerald onward}} against the other Trainers. Trainers sometimes battle for bragging rights, but they are often rewarded with rare items or points that can be used to buy rare items as well.

Battle Towers {{tt|are run|Pokémon Emerald onward}} by {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, who fulfill a similar role to that of [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]]. Trainers taking a Battle Tower challenge have a number of battles in a row, ending after seven wins, or when they lose. The Tower Tycoon will challenge them after certain winning streaks have been made. Trainers will use weak Pokémon and will start using stronger Pokémon the higher the winning streak also the 7th trainer will often have stronger Pokémon in some games after defeating the Tower Tycoon players will start using [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ledgendary_Pokemon Ledgendary Pokémon]. If your streak breaks trainers will start using weak Pokémon again and will continue the cycle. In [[Johto]]{{tt|*|HeartGold and SoulSilver only}}, [[Hoenn]]{{tt|*|Emerald only}} and [[Sinnoh]]{{tt|*|Platinum only}}, the Battle Tower is part of a larger [[Battle Frontier]]. In the [[Sevii Islands]], a smaller and simplified version of a Battle Tower can be found in [[Trainer Tower]]. [[Pokémon Emerald Version]] also contains the [[Trainer Hill]] facility, which further serves as a modified simplification of the Trainer Tower (despite Emerald housing a Battle Tower of its own within Hoenn's Battle Frontier).

Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in Battle Tower battles, while Trainers are awarded [[Battle Point]]s{{tt|*|Emerald onward, after defeating a set of seven Trainers}} instead of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. These points can be redeemed for items, in a shop usually located near the tower. Additionally, Pokémon not registered in the [[Pokédex]] will not be registered upon being seen in a Battle Tower. Pokémon cannot be above the level limit. From [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]] onward, Pokémon that are above the level range will simply be {{tt|reduced|only if the Pokémon is above level 50}} to level 50 temporarily, the level of the Pokémon that the player will be facing.

==In the games==
* [[Johto]], on the north end of {{rt|40|Johto}}, {{tt|later|in HeartGold and SoulSilver}} joined by the other facilities of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. ''Main article: [[Battle Tower (Johto)]]''
* [[Hoenn]], on an island south of {{rt|130|Hoenn}}, {{tt|later|in Emerald}} joined by the other six facilities of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. ''Main article: [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]]''
* [[Sinnoh]], in {{si|Battle Park}} on the northeastern island, {{tt|later|in Platinum}} joined by the other four facilities of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. ''Main article: [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]]''
* [[Unova]], in [[Nimbasa City]] the [[Battle Subway]], while a different facility, is a spiritual successor to the Battle Towers of the other regions, because battles are conducted there with similar rules.

==In the anime==
* [[Johto]], in [[Olivine City]]
* [[Hoenn]], in [[LaRousse City]]
* [[Kanto]], near [[Tohjo Falls]], and part of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}
