'''??????????''', also known as '''Ten question marks''' or it's fan-given nickname; '''Decamarks''', is a [[glitch Pokémon]] that occupies slot 0000, and all slots above 019D in {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It was programmed into the game to prevent game crashes and is technically not a glitch Pokémon because its information was defined by the programmers. However, ?????????? can also occupy other values of the 65536 slots available as well as cause glitchy behavior in games, some specific versions may even [[game freeze|freeze]] the game, such as hex DEFD.

??????????'s sprite usually appears as three concentric circles alternating between white and black around a question mark in the center. Whereas index number 0000 and other ?????????? usually use {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s footprint, there are a few which use other Pokémon's footprints.

?????????? hex 0000 form can not be obtained, as it disappears from a party when caught.

==Obtaining ??????????==
[[File:Firered-MissingNo.png|thumb|left|?????????? in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
This glitch data is most commonly encountered in-game by using a [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]] code for a Pokémon that doesn't exist. However, there are several other methods for encountering ??????????.

===Level-up method===
A GameShark code can be used to quickly level-up a Pokémon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s [[Pokémon Day Care]]. If any Pokémon is placed into the day care before the code is activated, after a short while of walking around, the Pokémon in the daycare will produce an Egg all by itself. The Egg will soon hatch into a Level 0 ??????????, which cannot be leveled up without using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}, as 1,000,000 EXP points are required to reach level 1.

If ?????????? is traded to {{game|Emerald}}, it can be left in the day care and will instantly grow to level 100. At this point, it can learn any of the eight [[HM]] moves and will be safe for the game unless its summary is looked at. If given Rare Candies, it will start rapidly learning {{m|Ice Punch}}, even if the player refuses to teach it. This can be fixed by activating the "access fly map" GameShark code. ??????????'s National Pokédex number can vary, ranging from 0 to over 386, depending on its hexadecimal identifier. If the hexadecimal identifier number is over 1000 then a ? mark replaces the hundreds column, e.g. ?24

[[File:Ten Question Marks III.png|208px|left|thumb|Battling ??????????]]

[[Image:FireRed-MissingNo-Summary.png|208px|right|thumb|The summary that doesn't freeze the game, viewed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]

===Pre-starter method===
Another method for obtaining ?????????? is to use an Action Replay code to teleport or walk through walls to an area where a wild Pokémon can be captured before getting a [[starter Pokémon]] from either [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. If a wild Pokémon battle is initiated, the player will send out a ?????????? with 0/0 HP and with a hexadecimal identifier of 0. If the Pokémon gets hit, the player will white out and be sent to a [[Pokémon Center]] where 65536 [[Poké Ball]]s will begin to appear in seemingly random locations all over the screen (this is because the game will refer to the number 0 as one more than a full two bytes (65535)). A very similar effect occurs when one performs a variation of the [[Pomeg glitch]]; when the Pokémon's HP goes below 0 it will skip to the largest value. This system uses two bytes, so the Pokémon's HP will start to drop down from 65535.

After this Pokémon is captured, if one chooses to nickname ?????????? or looks at it in the party screen, its sprite may appear as a gold-colored {{p|Bulbasaur}}, which might suggest that Nintendo originally planned to make thumbnail images of Shiny Pokémon and this thumbnail was the last stable sprite that remained. It could also be because this Pokémon uses Bulbasaur's data for its icon, and simply uses icon palette 0 as a default because it is undefined. There is also a difference between the Shiny and normal color: the white on the Shiny Pokémon appears to be darker. (Another way to see this glitch is to use the "walk through walls" code, go to the Link Cable area, and battle. Since there is no connected opponent, this glitch appears instead (as value 000).)

===Pre-National Pokédex method===
A third way to obtain ?????????? is to use a GameShark or Action Replay to catch a [[Hoenn]] or [[Johto]] Pokémon in its original area ''before'' obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] as the game would search for a Pokémon using the Regional Pokédex number rather than the National Pokédex number; for example, if the player was to normally encounter a {{p|Yanma}}, instead the game would search for a Pokémon with a Regional Pokédex value of 193, possibly resulting in an encounter of another variety of this glitch with a different moveset and Ability or a {{p|Regirock}} in {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.





==Item==
[[File:FireRed 10 Question marks.png|thumb|A ???????? in the Bag in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}]]
?????????? may [[Held item|hold]] an [[item]]. The item will be called ???????? (eight marks), with a description in the [[Bag]] of ????? (five marks). The item can only make a Pokémon that is holding it become glitched if migrated to {{game|Diamond}} or {{v2|Pearl}}. If the player tries to use it, [[Professor Oak]] will say that "the time isn't right" to use it. With the help of a [[GameShark]], it can be bought at a [[Poké Mart]] for {{PDollar}}0 but cannot be sold, as the [[Poké Mart]] cashier will say, "Oh, no. I can't buy that."

==Trivia==
* There are many other variations of this Pokémon in the Generation III games. Their images are the same as ??????????'s, but the individual sprites can be backwards, differently colored, upside down, or any of several other minor differences in appearance.
* Many variations of ?????????? are named after moves or fragments of a move's name (truncated to the game maximum of ten characters) (e.g. {{m|Pound|POUND}}, {{m|Thunderbolt|RBOLT}}, {{m|Wing Attack|ING ATTACK}}, {{m|Quick Attack|ICK ATTACK}}, and so on.) This is due to the hexadecimal identifier of the variation calling for a name from text just past where Pokémon names are stored, which is where move names are stored.
* In the Generation I and II games, hexadecimal slots went from 00 to FF, totaling to exactly 256 Pokémon slots available. However, the hexes in Generation III games range from 0000 to FFFF, allowing 65536 Pokémon to be defined. However, only 439 (counting {{pkmn|Egg}}, {{p|Unown}} forms, {{p|Deoxys}} formes and 25 {{gp|?}}) were defined, filling the remaining 65,097 slots with ?????????? variants, or "decamarks," as they are commonly referred to.
* Analysis of ?????????? (000)'s moveset has yielded {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s exact [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation III learnset|Generation III learnset]]. However, the moves are all learned at different levels. Strangely, ?????????? can learn Ice Punch via tutor.
* It has been stated that there are also similar glitch Pokémon called "???????????" (eleven marks) and "????????????" (twelve marks), though there is no evidence to support this.
* There may be similar glitch Pokémon in the Generation IV games, but no investigation into this matter has been reported.
* A project (dubbed 'Melchior') exists on [[Glitch City Laboratories]] concerning the research of the 65,097 variations of ?????????? (decamarks), although this is not a serious project of the site and is not expected to be completed in the near future.
* If the player catches a variant of ?????????? and attempts to rename it, the renaming screen may show ??????????'s sprite as being a {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s sprite, but with a gold palette.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

It is also the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game. It has also made numerous appearances on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pikachu is a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. Pikachu's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth, which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes with white pupils and two red circles on its cheeks. Its forearms are short and somewhat stubby, with 5 digits on each "hand" and its feet have three digits. It has two brown stripes on its back, and its tail is in the shape of Zigzag-styled lightning bolt, with a patch of brown fur at the base of the tail. Although it is technically a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, on multiple occasions it has been shown to be able to stand and walk upright on its hind legs.

Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Pachirisu}} and/or {{p|Emolga}} due to their many physical similarities.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.

====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a v-shaped "dent" at the end of its tail. Male Pikachu do not have this dent. In Black and White, male Pikachu have less black covering their ear, though this is only shown in frontal sprites.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Move|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast Berries as well.

As Pikachu builds up energy in its electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to remove unneeded energy safely. A sure sign that a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electromagnetic forces, which severely affect the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to manipulate water and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu also have their own signature held item - the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}. This item boosts a Pikachu's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats, and, when held by a Pikachu in the daycare center, causes the offspring to know the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

Pikachu is known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to its large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electromagnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well-being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty bite, which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region (specifically, [[Viridian Forest]] and the [[Power Plant|Kanto Power Plant]]), although they have been introduced to the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] and to the [[Trophy Garden]] in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in forested areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[Berry|Berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the Berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup. Pikachu is also occasionally seen eating apples.

===Orgin===
The name Pikachu is partly based off of the Pika.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. He is the signature Pokémon of the anime series who has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since. Ash's Pikachu does not like being in his [[Poké Ball]].

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', as Pikachu seemed very happy with the other Pikachu. Even though he did attempt to, the bond between the two was too strong, so Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====[[Puka]]====
Another Pikachu nicknamed [[Puka]] was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu saved Ash from drowning by having the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

====[[Pikachutwo]]====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

====Other====
[[James]] used a {{DL|Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|Pikachu}} in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|instructor]]'s {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and [[Team Go-Getters]] set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Numerous other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' belonging to [[Nurse Joy]] to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.

Multiple Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

[[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} was once a Pikachu, as was [[Volkner]]'s Raichu when Volkner was younger.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

A Pikachu appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' as a {{m|Transform|transformation}} of {{OBP|Mew|M08}}.

A Pikachu named [[Abigail|Sugar]] belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, Sugar returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

A Pikachu that belonged to an unnamed [[Aura|Aura Guardian]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika]]chu was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika", became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had. It also served on Yellow's team while Red was held captive by the [[Elite Four]] during the {{chap|Yellow}} before being returned to him, during which Yellow discovered that it can {{m|Surf}}.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]] during the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] of her own nicknamed "Chuchu", that she had found injured in [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joined Yellow and Chuchu on their adventure to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. Later on, after Yellow and Wilton were brought to the Day Care after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an Egg shortly after they were "put together."

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuBaseSet58.png|right|thumb|right|Pikachu in the TCG]]
[[File:Coin Pikachu Holon Phantoms.png|thumb|100px|left|Pikachu TCG Coin]]
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} - 1}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

Pikachu has also been featured on a number of TCG {{TCG|coin}}s, with one being included with the English and European languages-only {{tcg|Base Set 2}}. This coin was also featured in the {{g|Play It!}} PC game. A Pikachu coin is also featured in the [[Game Boy]] game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, and is one of the coins that can be obtained in {{g|Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!}}, where it is given by [[Club Master Isaac]] to winners of the [[Lightning Club]].

==In the TFG==
Two Pikachu figures has been released.

* {{TFG|Black Star Promo}}: {{TFG ID|Black Star Promo|Pikachu|8}}

==Game data==
===As the Player===
{{main|Pikachu (PokéPark)}}
Pikachu appears as the [[player character]] in both [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and its sequel, [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]. He falls down a mysterious tunnel one day with his friends {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, and {{OBP|Piplup|PokéPark}} and ends up in the {{ga|PokéPark}}. There he goes on an quest to save the PokéPark from certain destruction. He later travels to a new PokéPark which is being threatened by the ever expanding [[Wish Park]]. At the new PokéPark he meets {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Oshawott}}, and they help to save the PokéPark from danger.

===NPC appearances===
* {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]: Pikachu stars alongside an unnamed child (who bears a striking resemblance to {{ga|Red}}) who was recently taught how to interact with wild Pokémon by [[Professor Oak]]. The boy and Pikachu form a bond and go on many adventures together, and one day the Pikachu decides to live with the boy.
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Pikachu has the same role as in Pokémon Pinball but is sometimes helped by {{p|Pichu}}. Pikachu also appears on the Catch 'Em Mode banner.
* {{g|Channel}}: Much like Hey You, Pikachu!, Pokémon Channel focuses on a boy and a Pikachu bonding through social interactions, such as going outside and talking to other Pokémon, and watching TV together.

'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|でんげき|Dengeki}}''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a blue sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pikachu.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coin from {{wp|Niue}} featuring Pikachu]]
[[File:Stadium025.png|thumb|right|Pikachu's appearance in Pokémon Stadium.]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Pikachu as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Pikachu on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* [[Veronica Taylor]] has stated that Pikachu is her favorite [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]], with {{p|Lapras}} being her second favorite.
* In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both the Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon.
* The earliest sketch of Pikachu had a white muzzle, but soon became yellow like the rest of its body. This is still depicted in its front sprites from {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} as well as in the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* Pikachu is the only starter that is an evolved form.
* According to [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]], Pikachu can deliver a constant current of 1000 {{wp|ampere}}s.
* As of Generation V, Pikachu has the most event-exclusive moves available to it.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Its [[species]] name suggests that it is based on a {{wp|mouse}}. Despite its name, it bears little resemblance to the {{wp|pika}}. Its ears do bear similarity to those of other {{wp|lagomorphs}}, however.

====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking).

Underground

'''The Underground''' (Japanese: '''ちかつうろ''' ''Underground Passage'') is an area in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] region. {{Player|Players}} can travel underground at any time using an [[Explorer Kit]], which they can receive from the [[Underground Man]] in [[Eterna City]]. The Underground features multiple uses of the [[Nintendo DS|DS's]] touch-screen, as the main view is on the lower touch-sensitive screen while the upper screen shows a radar map of the entire underground. It also utilizes DS Wireless Communication to allow multiple players, each with their own DS and copy of the game, to interact.

The Underground has a different [[menu]] from the one in the overworld. Mostly, it shows the different [[item]]s used; with the exception of treasures, which can be transferred to the player's [[Bag]], these are all exclusive to the area.

[[Sphere]]s are the currency of the underground. The player can bury their spheres to make them more valuable, either by leaving a sphere buried for a long time to make it grow, or by burying spheres of the same color in the same spot to merge them into a larger sphere. When spheres are buried in the same spot, their sizes are mixed together. When two or more spheres are buried on top of each other, the largest sphere is added to the smaller spheres' sizes divided by five, rounded down, plus one. Spheres can reach a maximum size of 99, with some growing faster than others. Blue, green, and red spheres grow the fastest, and are thus the least valuable. Pale spheres are the second fastest growing spheres, and are semi-valuable. Prism spheres are the slowest growing spheres, and are thereby the most valuable of all the sphere types. Burying spheres can increase the number and density of mining sparkles in the same vicinity.

There are six different areas in the Underground; each is accessible from different overworld locations. While some are readily accessible from the mainland, players must sometimes travel to far-off places like [[Fullmoon Island]] to enter these areas.

==Features==
===Exploring===
[[File:Sinnoh Underground.png|thumb|300px|right|{{ga|Lucas}} digs for treasure, while {{ga|Dawn}} sets up traps in the Underground.]]
As in the regular world, using the D-pad lets the player walk in any direction and holding "B" allows running. As the regular Bag is not able to be used in the Underground, the [[Bicycle|Bike]] is not available to increase speed further. Steps taken in the Underground do not count towards hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s or the Counter App, but time spent counts towards the overall game timer. The game cannot be paused (by closing the DS lid or otherwise) while in the Underground. Additionally, since the wireless features consume more power than usual operation, the player should be careful not to drain the battery completely while in the Underground.

There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. When participating in multiplayer action in the Underground, players should make sure they are all in the same set of caverns.

The vast majority of the tunnels are 5 squares wide, with some single-square-width passageways between parallel tunnels. The player can see roughly 12x15 squares on the screen at any given time (not accounting for side effects of the top-down perspective). By touching any area of the lower touch screen, a radar pulse indicates interactive objects within a 4-5 square radius, indicated by yellow sparkles. There appears to be a maximum of 8-10 sparkles that will display if a particular ping returns too many objects.

If a sparkle revealed by a ping is located on the floor of the tunnel, it is either a [[trap]] or a sphere. A difference in whether a sphere or trap is hidden in the sparkle, a trap has a white sparkle while a sphere has a golden one. If both are hidden in one spot, a trap is found first, then a sphere. If the sparkle is in the wall, it is a bulging section that can be mined.

===Mining===
[[File:Grebespiel.png|thumb|right|Mining for treasure using the hammer]]
One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining minigame. To mine, the player must find a spot where the wall 'pings' by touching the screen and looking for sparkles. These spots will appear randomly in the Underground, usually in clusters, and can be located by looking for sparkles marked on the radar screen. They appear more frequently near buried spheres, and so one way players can ensure they always have a lot of mining spots available to them is to make a "sphere garden" by burying many spheres in the same area.

The game itself is similar to {{wp|Battleship (game)|Battleship}} or {{wp|Minesweeper (computer game)|Minesweeper}}. At the start, the cave wall is shown, represented by a grid full of squares. There are three depths of wall: the tan soil, which can be broken through in one hit, the darker soil, which needs two hits to be broken through, and the large rocks, which each need three hits to be broken through. The player digs into the wall with a pick, which chips away small areas of rock, and a hammer, which breaks a larger area of the rock. Each spot will hide one to four [[item]]s, including [[sphere]]s, [[Fossil]]s, [[Revive]]s, {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}s, [[shard]]s, [[evolutionary stone]]s, [[Plate]]s, and a few [[held item]]s. Iron pieces are also in the wall, which cannot be dug out and prevent further mining upon discovery (that is, when they are uncovered on a direct hit, no other spaces are revealed until the next hit). Upon hitting a piece of iron a small 'ping' will be heard. Each hit will bring the wall closer to collapsing; if the wall collapses before everything is dug up, the game ends and the player is rewarded with what they dug up before the wall collapsed.

In addition, if anyone else is mining nearby, a pickaxe will appear on the player's screen wherever the other player hits on their screen. This helps clear the wall without contributing to the wall's collapse.

At first, only [[Skull and Armor Fossils|Skull or Armor Fossils]] can be found depending on the game version. After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], however, the game will also yield [[Helix and Dome Fossils|Helix Fossils, Dome Fossils]], [[Old Amber]]s, [[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossils, and Claw Fossils]].

====Burying spheres====
Burying spheres is done through the Underground's [[menu]] function. It will not work, however, when the player faces a wall: spheres can only be buried in the ground. The longer the spheres remain buried, the larger they will grow. In the player's presence, their buried sphere will occasionally let off a bright glint. Buried spheres are only accessible to the player that put them there; others cannot see them, ping them, or interact with them in any way. Others can, however, take advantage of the increased mining spots generated. This can be beneficial for the player who buried the spheres and a friend (or friends), as there will be plenty of opportunities to mine side-by-side.

====Item shapes====
Items have unique shapes in the mining minigame. Larger items cover a greater area and can thus be found more easily, but take more digging to unearth.

===Secret Bases===
The Underground is also where [[secret base]]s are created in the [[Generation IV]] games. The spheres dug up in the mining minigame can be traded to explorers found throughout the caves for objects to furnish secret bases. Secret bases can be created in any part of the wall using a [[Digger Drill]]. These bases can be decorated with ten items each.

If a player visits a secret base of another player, they can get that player's flag. After successfully returning the other player's flag to one's own base, the player's record is updated. The number of flags captured (either from the same "opponent" or several ones) upgrades the player's secret base computer. Each upgrade changes the graphic slightly (the icons resemble the evolution of personal computer technology) and also allows the player to remove additional boulders from their base using the "Store" option of the "Decorate" menu. This allows more room for decorations to be placed. Boulders that have been removed cannot be placed back into the base, although they'll reappear if a new base is created.

|}{{-}}

A player who has a flag cannot do anything besides store the flag in their PC. If they try, the game will alert them that they have to drop their flag first. If the owner of the flag talks to someone who has stolen it, the flag is automatically returned to their base, while if another player talks to someone who has stolen a flag, that person steals the flag from the other person, and then they can try to get the flag to their base.

===Traps===
Another feature of the underground is [[trap]]s. These can also be purchased from explorers with spheres or found in the path in the same manner that the player can find mining spots: by touching the screen and watching for sparkles on the ground. They may also be dug up, like the Spheres, by pressing the A button when next to one, facing it. Players may only carry a total of 40 traps at one time; an attempt to unearth a 41st trap will be refused and the trap left where it is. If a player steps on a trap, they may be sent flying in a specific direction, have their controls altered so they walk the wrong way, or they may have to use the stylus or microphone to clear a hazard, such as by popping bubbles or clearing smoke, or a message will be broadcast to all players in the Underground. The game will explain how to escape from a trap, however if the trap was placed by an opponent, he or she will be alerted that someone has landed in it. If one player is caught in a trap, another can face them and press A to immediately get them out of it. Since all players run at the same speed, well placed traps are the primary means of catching up to someone who has stolen a player's flag. If a player has set some of his/her own [[trap]]s they will show up as brightly colored squares with symbols matching their names. This helps the player as to not get caught in her/his own traps.

===Vendors===
A crucial feature of the underground is vendors. These explorers appear to be stationary and only rotate in place. There are three types of vendors in the underground. The first group of vendors are those who accept the player's treasures and give them spheres in return. The second group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give goods in return, and vice versa. The last group of vendors are those who accept spheres and give traps in return, and vice versa. Vendors change their prices on items and which items they sell every day, so one vendor may not have the same item for two days in a row. Vendors allow the player to decorate their secret base and plant traps anywhere in the underground. In the map of the underground at the top of the page, the yellow dots are the trap vendors, the red dots are the treasure vendors, and the blue dots are the goods vendors.

=== Getting to areas ===
Top right area: Fight, Survival, Resort Areas

Top left area: Full Moon Island

Bottom right area: South Sunyshore City

Bottom left area: Twinleaf Town, Sandgem Town, Jubilife City, Oreburgh City, Floaroma Town, Canalave City, Route 221, Pal Park

Small center area: Celestic Town

==Multiplayer==
When entering the Underground, the DS Wireless Communication is activated. Other players within range choosing to enter the Underground will be able to interact in the same set of tunnels. As described above, players can enter one another's Secret Bases and set traps. Additionally, digging in the walls next to each other allows players to collaborate on the excavation.

Players can talk to each other just like NPCs in the above world. In doing so, they can exchange Goods used to decorate a Secret Base, and they can communicate using a basic question and answer selection menu. Each time a player talks to another player, the counter on their card is incremented. This counter reaching 32 is one of the prerequisites for encountering {{p|Spiritomb}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:The Underground anime.png|thumb|right|The Underground tunnels in the {{pkmn|anime}}.]]
The Underground appeared in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]''. While {{Ash}} was battling [[Gardenia]] for the {{Badge|Forest}}, {{TRT}} stumbled across the sprawling tunnels of the Underground. They met the [[Underground Man]], who convinced them to dig in the tunnels for [[Shard]]s and [[Sphere]]s. They agreed to split the profits with him in exchange for lunch. However, he fled with the treasure while they ate—not that they cared; the trio were happy to have some food.

==Trivia==
* The background music in the Underground is a remix of the music played in the desert of {{rt|111|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]].
* Air vents that serve to provide the Underground with a supply of air can be found all over the surface of Sinnoh.
* Walking into a wall will not cause the 'bump' audio to play.
* The Underground has rotational symmetry.
* The player's PC is only updated when the door is shut; if it is open then the PC reverts to the very first look.

== Spam ==

Is it considered spam if a sockpuppet goes to a talk page and put something there that led the original user to get blocked in the first place? I was kind of wondering that regarding what this MichaelXD002 user did. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:21, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, I've seen sockpuppets' comments being removed in the past.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
::I just removed a comment of his in evkl's talk page due to that reason. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 15:32, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

== Question ==
Dennou, did you reset your talk page? Every old message you had is gone. [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:47, 1 November 2012 (UTC) 10:47, 1 November 12 (UTC)
:Yes, I [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Archiving user talk pages|archived]] it. The old talk page is [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi/2011-2+2012-1|here]] but you can't edit it.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 16:04, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
::Okay, just wondering. But anyway, I have a favor to ask. I have become a better Bulbapedia user since my creating rights were taken away, but now I have a bigger goal in mind. I want to become an administrator like you. Right now, my mission is to prove to every administrator that I have what it takes by fixing the incomplete synopses for all articles. I just wanted advice, and I came to the two best administrators I know, you and Jo the Marten. How exactly did you guys get to be administrators? [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 01:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC) 21:35, 1 November 12 (UTC)
:::The link that Jo posted explains it well. And sorry to be blunt, but you have to become a way better and more active editor to be considered to become an admin. Also, please try to avoid {{bp|Talk page policy#How should a talk page not be used?|posting the same question across multiple pages}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Understood. But seriously, you don't have to be a smart Alec. I came to you for help, not insults. And would an inactive editor fix the synopsis for two episodes, add a helping picture for a status effect, add examples to the Pokémon controversy page, AND reprimand other amateur users for violating the rules? I don't think so. I agree I could do more, but I think "inactive" is an overstatement. [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 18:16, 2 November 2012 (UTC) 14:15, 2 November 12 (UTC)
:::::Okay, you're actually kinda active. Anyway, I didn't say you'll never become an admin. I meant that you have to become a more diverse editor and make at least hundreds of good/helpful edits. I became an official junior admin after making about 9000 ''mainspace'' edits, more than 1000 talk page edits, receiving {{bp|Golden Bulbasaur Award|Golden Eevee and Pikachu}}, and being a temporary junior admin for several months.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:22, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
::::::Thank you! And by the way, if I beat [[User:Dennou Zenshi|Zenon]] in [[Giant Chasm]], can I have that [[Stunfisk (Pokémon)|Stunfisk]]? [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 17:26, 7 November 2012 (UTC) 12:25, 7 November 12 (UTC)
:::::::Yes, and you'll get shocked by it... :P And by the way, remember to use the {{bp|List of link templates|link templates}} when possible.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:25, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

== Help in Floccesy Ranch ==

You recently edited floccesy ranch, removing the cleanup tag i added back when the encounter rates were bad.
There was a discussion on the talk page about the encounter rates and how the original ones there were wrong.
I put some placeholder ones in, which were then replaced by rarities from the official strategy guide.
They have since been replaced by someone who has not bothered to comment on the talk page, and thus you thought the cleanp was resolved when those who havn't read the talk page put values in.
Could you help, and reconsider the cleanup tag?----[[User:Aquatix|'''Aquatix''']] ''([[User talk:Aquatix|talk to me!]])'' 12:00, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
:I can't really help with the encounter rates because I don't have access to the game data and I don't own any guidebooks. I removed the {{template|cleanup}} tag because the correct tag for that situation is the {{template|incomplete}} tag, which was already in the article.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:50, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

==John Loeffler==
I undid the hiding, and put "according to john loeffler." all admins, leave me alone about this, because i was asked to put this there by John himself. the facebook accuont said that his name was John Loeffler, he lived in New York city and that he is a composer and singer, so that's proof that it's the real one. i do not know how to send links of the facebook conversation to you without revealing my realk name, (Christian Woods is my sudanym, like how Ted Lewis is Ed Paul) but i do know this: John Loeffler is going to try to check on this page within 24 hours, and i want him to see to his satisfaction that i did the edit, just to show that i kept my word, mmkay?
side note: You can send Kenji girl after me, but i know that i'm not wrong, and that i'm not operating against pollicy, i swear on it. I'm nearly taking a request and allowing the information to be given out. it's not like john said "But don't tell anyone, it's a big big secret!" or anything, so don't try and make it a secret, mmkay? mmkay? thanks. and admins, i don't want any infractions because of this. i just want it to get out there and to let people see it, just as john asked me to. thanks.

== Dragon Rage in BW085 ==

Why not include that error about Dragon Rage being a critical hit? Who determines which aspects of the games are adopted into the anime and which aren't? Because it seems like a helluva lot else does. In fact, we'd have to go back and remove roughly half of all errors ever added because the anime ''may'' work under different rules. The anime, which I need not remind, is based on the games. Heck, for all we know, the anime writers ''intentionally'' wrote that Electric doesn't affect Rock-types when they made that "error" about a half-dozen times in the first season. We should just go ahead and say that indeed, a Rhyhorn is vulnerable to Electricity in its horn and mouth. It's the same logic (rather, lack thereof). Water beats Fire, Pikachu's Static Ability causes Paralysis, and Dragon Rage does 40 damage. Even something as specific as a Pokémon's level is mentioned several times. Why does one person set the precedent for a piece of noteworthy trivia? I don't care if he or she's an admin, or even if there is a circle of admins who agree with him/her, clearly there are four people who made the effort to note that information. Let's not forget either that whatever precedents the Bulbapedia staff have established are not automatically what the writers intended. Also, you'd think that instead of complaining each time the same reasonable error was added, you guys could add a handy-dandy  (hidden message) in the Error section. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:10, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
: So apparently someone had the sense to put that message in after the fourth person added the error. Clap-clap. Here's another problem: the writer says that it's because Cilan uses a "completely different term"? I'm sorry, maybe he said something else in Farsi, but in ''English'' he said it "looks like a critical hit!" Come on. I don't even need to point out how this person's definition of "completely different" is laughable. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 07:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
::Eh, the ''English'' version is just a dub. In the ''original'' Japanese version, he just said "Kibago hit the target" (this can be mentioned in the Dub edits section). Also, Dragon Rage obviously works differently in the anime than it does in the games, because there are no HPs (and levels were quickly retconned to not exist). Or do you think that Gary's Golem had less than 40 HP? If you still disagree, you should contact {{u|Kenji-girl}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:09, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

== User ==

There is a user named Marvin Gaye (it is in all caps) on here who is also a singer from the pre-80's. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:42, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
:Since Marvin Gaye is dead, the user isn't really impersonating him and therefore isn't technically breaking the {{bp|username policy}}. Also, he's most likely one of those users who will never make any edits.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 23:58, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

== Actually ==
I did not assume Escavalier had Twineedle, I said it because Serebii himself said that it was used and that's usually a pretty good confirmation considering his status. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 15:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:Serebii should never be used as a source (you've been told it before), and he makes lots of move errors in his Character Bios because '''he''' assumes most moves he adds.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks for that fix ==

I noticed you fixed the redlinks in my pokémon subpage. I should have known, but I am a mere beginner when it comes to templates; had to use a sample, but what I used for a reference never had a nickname parameter. Hopefully I'll remember that when I add more Pokémon to that page. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 19:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

== Since you can apparently use Japanese... ==

Do you think you can {{tt|translate|translate as in eg. translate マサゴタウン to Masago Town (Sandgem Town)}} [[Talk:List of Ribbons in the games#Japanese names.|some]] of this? (or just put in the characters, because it's pretty late here so I am low on time and I wouldn't rather have enough time to {{tt|type|READ: look at Wikipedia, copy correct character and paste here, do that with next character, rinse and repeat until all the characters are inserted, then go to the next ribbon, and so on}}). These are only missing Japanese names (though some have just Japanese names without these being translated). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 22:41, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:I added everything I could.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 23:22, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

== Too large? ==

For a while now, I was looking after the [[Pokémon.com online games]] article, as no one seemed to update it. It is still incomplete (needs info on a recently released game, etc.). Just now, I noticed something: it surpasses the [[Décor]] article, which has an oversize notice, by around 12k bytes, yet the former has neither an oversize notice nor an indication of suggesting separate pages. Also, I plan on incorporating some [[User:Berrenta /Trophy|trophy tables that are in the works]], which would make the article larger. Do you think there should be subpages for trophies and/or pre-revamp games? I asked on the article's talkpage and did not get a response yet. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 18:46, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:The Décor article has the oversized and merge tags because it has so many templates that some of them can't even be seen. The Pokémon.com games has almost zero templates so we don't have to split it and you can add the tables there when they are ready.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

== Matthew Charles' Return to the Pokemon Dub ==

Excuse me, but I just wanted to say I think it's notable that Matt Charles is back. Sure he only played Sid in the 4Kids dub, but he's back now and he was a prominent 4Kids dub VA in other shows like Marc Thompson, Dan Green, and others. I'm personally very glad he's back and it brought a smile on my face to see him return.{{unsigned|Joshellwu}}
:It would be notable if he used to voice a major character or many minor characters in Pokémon; it can't really be said he "returned" when he voiced only one one-off character. And this is a Pokémon wiki so it doesn't matter if he voices important characters in other shows.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 22:33, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

== Quick Question ==

I see how Forretress' trivia was unnotable even though characters in the anime don't usually get anything other than standard Poké Balls. In my defense it was inspired by the first trivia point in Ash's Totodile's Trivia Section. So I'm just honestly wondering why isn't that unnotable as well? [[User:AeroWind|AeroWind]] ([[User talk:AeroWind|talk]]) 19:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
:It's more notable because Ash is the main character and he has about three times more Pokémon than Brock. Also, pieces of trivia that say "one of the few" are generally unnotable while the Totodile trivia says he's the only one in something.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

== Reverted edit ==

Hello. I know this is a bit late, but on March 4, you reverted my edit here [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Outsider_Pok%C3%A9mon&diff=1859165&oldid=1859160] because "cheating-related things aren't notable". I believe they are. There is an entire article on cheating, in fact, there are five! (Category:Cheating) Hacking is also repeatedly mentioned [[Ilex Forest shrine|here]], and [[List of glitch Pokémon|here]]. That's just what I remember, I'm sure there's a lot more references to cheating/hacking. Apparently, cheating ''is'' notable here.

thanks for fixing my trivia on the May (anime) article. I'm suffering from a double ear infection, with a headache from it. And the Antibiotics are causing me to have Insomia. I was up close to 30 hours when I added that Trivia.

I think at some point I got May and Dawn fused since I was going between their and Iris articles to check on their Pokemon teams for starters.

Thanks for catching my mistake on {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}}. To be honest, I'm rather frazzled and distracted by the sudden interest in the [[TCG move errors]] page. Our database is no where near ready to tackle that page fully and accurately, and I'm just kind of disappointed no one came to talk to me about my plans for that page before doing it. (There are 3 tasks I wanted to have finished before that move error page was even considered, since they would make that undertaking so much easier.) Anyway, that's not at all your fault...I just appreciate your help in handling some of the debris that is falling because of the work on that page.

== Pokemon shipwrek ==
In the Hindi dub instead of "Lataak ki Rassi" {Vine Whip} they by mistakenly called it "Dhaga chodo" which literally means
release thread.So I am not objecting you as you are a Senior Administrator but as I know Hindi that move was said wrong.
So I think that your edit should be reverted as I gave the correct information and I am telling you that after that in NO Hindi
dub Vine Whip was called "Dhaga Chodo" from then it was always called "Lataak ki rassi" so I think that was a dub mistake
because not before not afterwards not ever it was called dhaga chodo but I am NOT objecting you but I think you should one
more time think over it.

I'm confused about why you deleted the Category "Pokémon with a base stat total of 479", Skuntank has a base stat total of 479, so currently it's a wanted page. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 12:58, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
:The category was unused when I deleted it because a user had changed Skuntank's Speed stat from 84 to 85 without anybody noticing.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:26, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

== Red link question ==

I noticed yesterday while I was removing several red links from the [[Special:WantedPages]] section that the top requested pages... were not that requested. As in the World Trainer class being linked to on 167 pages despite the fact that almost all of those pages don't have that text anywhere on the page. Any idea why this error occurs?

== Cloyster shell ==

Even if it is a facsimile shell, the image is a good addition to the trivia section -- the fact that they make fake cloyster shells is interesting trivia in itself.

In other cases, I realize minutes after saving that I made a mistake, or think I should rewrite something. Things like that can happen. I've actually been "instructed" on the Preview button, which as a Wikipedia editor myself I already know about (and yes, what I described happens to me there as well).

::My vision goes as follows
::*I wanted then to be designed more like {{TCG|Unown}} and the others, with the sections labeled "Attacks" (For all the typical appearances), "Pokémon Powers" (for things like [[Blastoise (Base Set 2)|Raindance]], "Poké-Bodies" (can't thin of an example right now, "Poké-Powers" (Raindance again on Feraligatr Prime), "Abilities" (Transform), "Trainer cards" (for {{TCG|Flash}} and {{TCG|Recycle}})... and maybe "altered forms(?)" for things like Super Confusion?
:::*All of these sections would then have appropriate columns, because cost and damage aren't appropriate for things like abilities
::*Things should be sortable. Not sure how many of them yet... but at least MS and card(name).
::*Definitely chronological order (but that was probably just because you were pulling examples).
::*I'd like to see expansion information in here somehow, but I'm not quite sure how, because I know it can get quite out of hand...maybe just initial release? Yeah. That sounds fine. but, instead of all of it being in one continuous row, maybe the English release could be on the equivalent of [[Kyurem (TCG)|enset, enrarity, and ennum]] and the Japanese release could be on the equivalent enset2, enrarity2, and ennum2.
::I think all together this gives us as columns to be MS (except for with the Trainer Card section), Cardname (this contains the link, but does not have the page name), Initial Release (with the six unlabeled minisections of enset, enrarity, ennum, jpset, jprarity, jpnum), Localized As (which will have the English attack name, essentially what your notes section is doing for Hop, but more straightforward. Should be blank if the card is Japanese only), Cost (only for attacks), Damage (only for attacks), Effect (your card text section). Any notes that are necessary, I would like them to be represented similar to how things are [[Unown_(Pokémon)#By breeding|here]], with 1 asterisk meaning 1 note, 2 meaning the second note, and whatnot.
::That's all I have to say initially... ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
:::Now [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi/Template:Movetcg|the example page]] has examples of pretty much everything I can think of. It's not sortable yet, though. Also, maybe the entries should be colored according to the card's type, as the attack's type is the same as the card's type.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 16:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
::::I'd like the card type coloring better. Okay, now, lots of progress has been made. There are just a few more details that I'd like to bring out.
::::*Currently, we have the overarching opening of the table as the column names. I would love if it was switched to be the individual headers (Attack, Power, Body, Ability) with the column names below each section, with the overarching header of the template to be the attack/ability game name. That way each of the separate section can have their own different column headers, to make more room for the ones that need it. Powers/Bodies/Abilities/Trainer card have a lot of text for their effects, and having Cost and damage there just takes up space and makes the table unnecessarily longer.
::::*The section names to be renamed as "As an Attack", "As a Pokémon Power", etc.
::::*Card type should probably be a column (named "Type"). That way the color of the blanks in the row an be the type color.
::::*I like the white section backgrounds of {{TCG|Kyurem}} more. I would love this template to do that too.
::::*I'd like the English part and the Japanese part of the initial release section to each be exactly half of the height of each row. Essentially, equal height.
::::*Japanese cards should have N/A in their Localized As box.
::::*I'd honestly like to get rid of the "the move cannot be legitimately learned by this Pokémon in the games." note. This section is supposed to be detailing the move as it appears in the TCG, and not the Pokémon that learn the move. If people want that information, they can read the cards' origin sections. Also, it helps with the following point, which having only one note makes it better. Also, with moves like {{m|Thunder Jolt}}, having that note after every single card but Pikachu is a bit annoying.
::::*Notes should be merged into Localized As with the two symbols right after the name (or N/A), so Safeguard* is how it would look.
::::*This template will also hopefully be used for things like [[List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest|Conquest Abilities]], and possibly Warrior Skills, and definitely moves only from Smash, Mystery Dungeon, and XD Gale of Darkness, so if that were to change anything in the template...
::::That's all I can think of now. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:51, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
:::::One more thing. Forget my "altered forms" note earlier. that could get out of hand and subjective, which I'd like to avoid. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

Bulbapedia is named after Bulbasaur.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. It has three white toes or claws growing out from each of its four legs, its eyes are bright red and it has small teeth visible when the mouth is open.

The most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back by its mother at birth. Bulbasaur's bulb shares a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial for both. This allows Bulbasaur to get an enhanced boost of energy from the sun during the day (synthesis) and the bulb to remain growing and strong at night. The bulb also contains many seeds from which it draws nutrients.

Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs. When it evolves into Ivysaur, the bulb becomes a larger flower bud, making it nearly impossible for one to rise on its hind legs.

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

===Special abilities===
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Power Whip}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, {{m|PoisonPowder}}, and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal.

The bulb can absorb sunlight, allowing Bulbasaur to restore health with {{m|Synthesis}} or fire a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domesticated Pokémon, raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}s to be distributed as starter Pokémon in the Kanto region. Due to this, they are regarded as mostly well-behaved Pokémon. They are the easiest Pokémon to start with, due to the fact that they have a type advantage over the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in Kanto.

Bulbasaur tend to have a strong loyalty to their friends and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', for example, a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its Trainer in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]] and remained there for decades yet was still happy to see him when finally brought out from the sewer by {{Ash}} and his friends.

It is shown in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' that in Kanto, large groups of Bulbasaur gather once every year in a hidden garden to become {{p|Ivysaur}}. It is unknown whether or not this is the case in other regions.

Bulbasaur can sometimes be found lying in the sun during the day to photosynthesize energy when food is scarce.

When a baby Pokémon, such as {{p|Togepi}} or a newly hatched Bulbasaur, is crying and all other methods of calming down the baby fail, Bulbasaur may use its vines in the bulb on it back to perform its Bulba-by, where it rocks the baby back and forth in the air and sings to it. This has only been recorded once by humans, making it seem that some people do not even believe that this behavior is real.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Like all starters, Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall, they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. It is native to [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur.png|thumb|right|250px|Bulbasaur in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

A Bulbasaur is set to appear in [[BW116]].

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

A Bulbasaur also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Bulbasaur under the ownership of an unknown Trainer, appeared in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', during the closing ceremonies of the [[Indigo League]].

A picture of a Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]''.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Bulbasaur appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

A Bulbasaur was one of the [[starter Pokémon]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A Bulbasaur made a brief appearance under the ownership of a Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

Bulbasaur, now named Saur, has since evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}}, and then to {{p|Venusaur}}. It has also been shown in the manga that Bulbasaur has the ability to suck in large amounts of air through its bulb, as seen in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'' where it sucked up the mist in [[Pokémon Tower]] as well as the {{p|Gastly}} that made it.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur appears as a random trophy.

====Melee trophy information====
''Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.''

====Brawl trophy information====

''"A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger. Extended exposure to the sun will cause its body and seed to grow in size. Some say that once, when the seed was much lighter, Bulbasaur was able to get around on two legs. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur."''

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
* Bulbasaur is the only unevolved dual type starter Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They both are known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one regional Pokédex, being found in both Kanto's and Johto's.
* In the anime, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head. It is also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
* Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}. However, {{p|Venusaur|its final form}} learns it by leveling up.
* In [[Generation IV]], there exists a [[glitch Pokémon]] named [[-----]] that has the same cry as Bulbasaur.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Bulbasaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Bulbasaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Since Bulbasaur's "ears" do not in fact have hollows they may actually be similar to the glands present behind the eyes of many species of frogs and toads.

The bulb on its back may resemble that of a {{wp|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

===Name origin===
Bulbasaur is a portmanteau of the words ''{{wp|bulb}}'' (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family) and the Greek ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigidane literally means "''isn't it strange?''" and is also a pun on 不思議種 ''fushigidane'' (mysterious bulb).

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. Bulbapedia is named after Bulbasaur.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bulbasaur is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. It has three white toes or claws growing out from each of its four legs, its eyes are bright red and it has small teeth visible when the mouth is open.

The most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back by its mother at birth. Bulbasaur's bulb shares a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial for both. This allows Bulbasaur to get an enhanced boost of energy from the sun during the day (synthesis) and the bulb to remain growing and strong at night. The bulb also contains many seeds from which it draws nutrients.

Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs. When it evolves into Ivysaur, the bulb becomes a larger flower bud, making it nearly impossible for one to rise on its hind legs.

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

===Special abilities===
Bulbasaur have a variety of Grass-type abilities granted to it by the bulb growing on its back. Powders, scents, petals, and seeds can come from the very tip of the bulb, and vines and leaves can come from the base. By manipulating these into moves like {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Power Whip}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, {{m|PoisonPowder}}, and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Bulbasaur have quite an arsenal at their disposal.

The bulb can absorb sunlight, allowing Bulbasaur to restore health with {{m|Synthesis}} or fire a powerful {{m|SolarBeam}}.

===Behavior===
Most Bulbasaur are domesticated Pokémon, raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|breeder}}s to be distributed as starter Pokémon in the Kanto region. Due to this, they are regarded as mostly well-behaved Pokémon. They are the easiest Pokémon to start with, due to the fact that they have a type advantage over the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in Kanto.

Bulbasaur tend to have a strong loyalty to their friends and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', for example, a Bulbasaur was abandoned by its Trainer in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]] and remained there for decades yet was still happy to see him when finally brought out from the sewer by {{Ash}} and his friends.

It is shown in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' that in Kanto, large groups of Bulbasaur gather once every year in a hidden garden to become {{p|Ivysaur}}. It is unknown whether or not this is the case in other regions.

Bulbasaur can sometimes be found lying in the sun during the day to photosynthesize energy when food is scarce.

When a baby Pokémon, such as {{p|Togepi}} or a newly hatched Bulbasaur, is crying and all other methods of calming down the baby fail, Bulbasaur may use its vines in the bulb on it back to perform its Bulba-by, where it rocks the baby back and forth in the air and sings to it. This has only been recorded once by humans, making it seem that some people do not even believe that this behavior is real.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Like all starters, Bulbasaur are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found in secret places such as gardens, plains near large sources of fresh water, or hiding in the forest in hollow logs, but overall, they are found far more often in the ownership of Trainers. It is native to [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Much like most Pokémon, Bulbasaur appears to be an {{wp|omnivore}}. However, in times of scarcity, it does not need to eat much food, since the bulb on its back can store energy from the sun.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur.png|thumb|right|250px|Bulbasaur in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]====
Ash's Bulbasaur first debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]]. Though initially wary of {{Ash}}, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a battle. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was captured. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were captured in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's party until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

====[[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]====
Much later on, when Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] region, his companion {{an|May}} captured her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. It remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's lab to learn from Ash's while she and Ash's group traveled throughout the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} in Kanto. May retrieved it during her travels in [[Johto]], where it evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

====Other====
A Bulbasaur that used to belong to the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] appeared in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''. In his childhood, the mayor abandoned his Bulbasaur and sent it into the sewers when it wouldn't evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}}. Aided by [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had gone missing. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and company left the Bulbasaur, which had grown rather large in its time in the sewers, with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}}, the son of the mayor of [[Pallet Town]], was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon, but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert set out to find them. The Bulbasaur was the last one to be found and it was stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was the one that Gilbert decided to start with.

A Bulbasaur is set to appear in [[BW116]].

===Minor appearances===
Bulbasaur was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his second choice of a starter, after {{p|Squirtle}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, it was too late, as an unnamed Trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

Multiple Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

A Bulbasaur also appeared in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' and ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Bulbasaur under the ownership of an unknown Trainer, appeared in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'', during the closing ceremonies of the [[Indigo League]].

A picture of a Bulbasaur appeared in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]''.

A Bulbasaur was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

A Bulbasaur appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

A Bulbasaur was one of the [[starter Pokémon]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A Bulbasaur made a brief appearance under the ownership of a Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Bulbasaur appears as a random trophy.

====Melee trophy information====
''Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of the three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Ivysaur.''

====Brawl trophy information====

''"A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger. Extended exposure to the sun will cause its body and seed to grow in size. Some say that once, when the seed was much lighter, Bulbasaur was able to get around on two legs. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur."''

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokemon.jpg|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* Bulbasaur's evolution family is the only starter Pokémon evolution family to have each member appear at least once in the Super Smash Bros. series.
* Bulbasaur is the only unevolved dual type starter Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name as {{p|Sunkern}}. They both are known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one regional Pokédex, being found in both Kanto's and Johto's.
* In the anime, May's Bulbasaur has little hearts on its head. It is also one of the three Pokémon that appeared in the anime with a heart-shaped spot, the others being {{p|Spinda}} and {{p|Wooper}}.
* Bulbasaur is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Petal Dance}} by {{pkmn|breeding}}. However, {{p|Venusaur|its final form}} learns it by leveling up.
* In [[Generation IV]], there exists a [[glitch Pokémon]] named [[-----]] that has the same cry as Bulbasaur.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White Versions|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Bulbasaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does. Alternatively, Bulbasaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, blotch-patterned skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Since Bulbasaur's "ears" do not in fact have hollows they may actually be similar to the glands present behind the eyes of many species of frogs and toads.

The bulb on its back may resemble that of a {{wp|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

===Name origin===
Bulbasaur is a portmanteau of the words ''{{wp|bulb}}'' (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants, notably those of the lily family) and the Greek ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigidane literally means "''isn't it strange?''" and is also a pun on 不思議種 ''fushigidane'' (mysterious bulb).

== Appearances ==

Ok, isn't the same thing appeared in a brief cameo or made ? And the other section is created when there is a spotlight section. Read my discussion with MAGNEDETH on my talk page and you'll understand.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 08:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:I changed the wording to "Made a brief cameo appearance" because it flowed better than what you wrote originally. Regarding the "Other" section I didn't see what you were doing at first so that's why I undid you. So I'll take responsibility for that part. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 13:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
::No need to worry, just wanted to make sure you understand. I sure had a rough time trying to understand what magnedeth was trying to explain me. As for the "flow" you're welcome to modify ~appeared to made~ everywhere I added. There's a complete list on [[M11]]'s {{tt|page|marked with (cameo)}}.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Crydex ==

You must use FireFox or a similar browser with .ogg support. IE will not work. Also the linkage doesn't really matter, only the browser. I'll put that on there then...--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 07:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:Hmmm, well while it's not a problem for me (I have FireFox as well) it does kinda leave out users with Internet Explorer which could be inconvient for some users/readers. Not saying your idea is bad, but just consider those people stuck with IE. Keep up the good work though~ [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

== Bianca's Emboar ==

Please calculate again. It shows the episode as a Pignite, not the episode for waiting to evolve as a Emboar. [[User:KyleRGiggs|[[User:KyleRGiggs|Ray]][[User talk:KyleRGiggs|mond]]]] 12:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
:But we don't know ''when'' it evolved.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
::The last time we saw Pignite (BW049) it was a Pignite. When we saw it in BW071, it was an Emboar. She never stated when it evolved, therefore it evolved somewhere between BW050 and BW069. Considering its debut was BW013, that makes it somewhere between 22 and 58 episodes which we ''know'' it was a Pignite. It is like this on other pages as well.

==Mack==
A [http://www.mangareader.net/458-28418-6/pokemon-adventures/chapter-220.html scan] of Pokémon Adventures says otherwise. {{unsigned|Mikuri}}

::The images shows Courtney saying that the Three Fires in Team Magma refer to the three Coordinators within the team, so Mack and Tabitha are also Coordinators.--[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 03:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::Try [http://manga.animea.net/pokemon-adventures-chapter-220-page-6.html this] link. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmmm, I don't think the type of Coordinator they are referring to are the kind that enter contests correct? If that's correct that means you are correct to say that they are coordinators, but the category link you used links to the wrong type of coordinator. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Courtney tries to convince Ruby to join Team Magma telling him that the three admins of the team are Coordinators like him. See the following page. Well, that's how I interpreted. If I'm wrong, I apologize. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm honestly conflicted :/ You would probably be better off going to the Head of Manga {{u|Zesty Cactus}} and see what she thinks about it. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::I'll talk to her. Thank you. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

== Juanita's Golurk and Fly ==
There has been some disagreement that Juanita's Golurk actually used Fly. While I agree that the mere act of flying is not in and of itself a use of the move Fly, I would like to argue that Juanita's Golurk is a different case, because not only does Golurk fly, it uses flight to launch a direct attack on Damon's Reshiram/Zekrom repeatedly that cannot be recognized as any other move. In addition, just before Golurk attacks Reshiram/Zekrom for the first time, Juanita calls out "Golurk, stop <Reshiram/Zekrom>!" which is an attack order that doesn't actually name an attack, which we've seen before. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 03:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
:Yea, I wasn't really involved with that issue so I'll give you BotD. On the Samurai's talk page I was saying be careful not to assume that actions are moves all of the time. This is one of those cases where it would be fair to assume it was the move fly. However, with less appearent moves we can't be 100% sure. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

Is it possible for arceus to learn draco meteor without the draco plate? because mine did.--[[User:Poke1|Poke1]] 16:07, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
:According to the Draco Meteor page, Arceus should not be able to learn that move without the Draco plate. Are you sure it wasn't holding a draco plate at the time? [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::No i sold the draco plate on accident--[[User:Poke1|Poke1]] 03:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmm, well I don't know how that happened. I suggest visiting Arceus's talk page and ask there so you can get more opinions.

== Victini Sticker Book ==

I wrote a list of all the stickers, uploaded an image, and tried to make it perfect, so how did I do? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 02:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
:Well, I feel that the "List of Stickers" page you created can be combined with the main article. We don't do that for other pages so we should be consistent.

==[[Contest battle]]==

== Piping battle variation links ==

Moving the battle variations to being capitalized was done because they are officially capitalized. Piping the links to them so that it appears as the lowercase defeats the point of moving them in the first place. So <nowiki>[[Double Battle]]</nowiki> should be used over <nowiki>[[Double Battle|double battle]]</nowiki>. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
:Some of the sentences had "double battle" with everything lowercase, so I thought that in situations like that we didn't need to capitalize it. So they should be capitalized no matter what? [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:47, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, the idea is that in articles we've had "double battle" etc. not capitalized for way too long, and this move is intended to fix that.

==Why?==
Not to be mean or anything, but can you please tell me why you took off the trivia?
I can't find a logical reason for you to delete that I had many sources and it should be counted as a Mitake because,
In the movie they count them siblings but in the games they count them as a couple. {{unsigned|‎GoldenSpoink}}
:I removed your piece of trivia because it was very unclear what you were trying to say. It read ''This movie caused controversy '''if''' either, [[Latios]] or [[Latias]] are siblings or a {{wp|couple}}.'' The "if" signifies uncertainty, which makes the trivia become a bit speculative. The trivia started off with a factual stance, but turned in to a more speculative one, which is why I removed it.

== powerhouse ==

hi i was wondering trip serperior personality of type said very little dealing those oppents he defeat them easily without getting a scratch on him it should said serpeior speed, agile, and strength shown can defeat pokemon with type advantage of being a high level pokemon makes trip serpeior a massive powerhouse like ash sceptial is proven to be strong enough to defeat tobis darkrai with two leaf blades attack. should ash krockrock should be a powerhouse as well being able to use dragon claw to dragonite to hit it hard enough to the wall proving to be stronger then iris dragonite.
Ash snivy should be powerhouse as well having high level moves since it was caught and defeated trip servine and frellfish attacks to defeat Sony took awhile that will make snivy endurance very high on her side with a dermentaion on her side will make her a taugh Pokemon as a powerhouse. Ash unfuzant is a powerhouse Pokemon to stay in in the Personality and characteristics. Also his unfuzant is stronger then skyla swoobat, and swanna as a tranquil it took many attacks to hold on her battle even had a battle against skyla unfuzant so when eloves it proven to better then swanna like her speed and power was even better then swanna to handle unfuzant stregth. Ash pignite is little the same as pignite to be a major powerhouse Pokemon to endure many attacks and defeated his old trainer with two fire attacks and taking hits from poision types moves of homika Pokemon.
Bolder should be ash tank Pokemon in his team taking alot of attacks of oppentents and with sturdy as a ability really prove to be a tank pokemon {{unsigned|Gian9456}}
:I don't think any of that is needed. This is the anime, we don't use terms like "tank". Also, just because a Pokemon is powerful it doesn't mean that it is a powerhouse. Saying that for all of Ash's Pokemon is redundant and really unnecessary. So I'm going to say no. Also, please sign you comments. Thanks, '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 17:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

but it makes sense of those pokemon of ash should be a powerhouse and trip serperior is the probably the strongest of his pokemon it will makes sense why he only use one pokemon then the others because trip knows he is a massive powerhouse in his team showing confidence and full dermentation on his side proving his power speed and agile there is full power inside serperior even defeated one or two attacks against his opponents like cilan crutle pignite and the other two trainers he defeated easily with no taking hits of any of his opponents at all. proving to be a massive powerhouse and ash sceptial should be a massive powerhouse defeated tobis darkrai and other popoents as well since caught as a trecko that was the most often use pokemon in the hoonen region to the battle frontier. {{unsigned|Gian9456}}

==Notice on Rebecca Honnig==
two things:
1. As stated somewhere on Kenji Girl's talk page, the "do not play by ear" thing refers to episodes done by TPCI under Duart (post dp053) and not the 4kids dub as there is no definate way to find out who did the voice. don't believe me? ask KG, she said it herself.
and 2. Annie read the credits and we saw Rebecca Honig in the credits. If i was playing it totally by ear, then I would have put Emily Robbison as the voice of [[Claire]] but i didn't as ods are she hasen't voiced too many characters in the series minus Max's Ralts (not the telepathy, but the RAAALTS!) either way though, the best chance you have of proving me wrong is not the fact that there's little data online about it, but rather your best chance would be to somehow contact Honig or Robison to find out either.
again, consult Kenji girl about the play by ear thing, or leave me alone regarding it please. thanks and have a good day.

:If you provided a source in your edit summary, then maybe I wouldn't have reverted your edit. Your edit summary on Clare's article said quote: ''It's '''either''' Rebecca Honnig or Emily Robbison.''

Granted, but let's take a look at it before you do anything else to my edit: The advanced genoration episodes do not state who does what except for Pikachu, and Rebecca Honnig's name does appear in the credits for that episode (according to annie) also i believe she saw Emily Robison on that episode as well, so i came up with that not by mear assumtion but by careful voice analysis. data or no data, i do ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent edit waring. i knwo what i'm saying here, pluss i do have the right to ask you to leave me alone in order to prevent conflict.

== Erm... ==

Hi Pokemaster. I'm coming to you regarding the edit I made to the disambiguation page "Unknown" within the past few minutes. I added info regarding Gen. VI's unreleased region name, and I intended to remove it from the page willingly once its name was officially revealed, when the time comes. I just thought that since clicking on the region's name brought me to that disambiguation page, I thought that it would be a lot better if it was even mentioned there, if only temporarily. I know the summary of your edit said "Unnecessary," but I, for one, believe it is necessary until the official name is introduced. Once it becomes outdated, it becomes unnecessary on that disambiguation page, which would then justify itself for being removed from the disambiguation page. I hope you understand my concerns. Have a great day! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 01:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:Hi, I removed your edit because "Unknown" is just a placeholder until the actual name is released. That template is built to automatically link what ever word is put in the field, this time it happened to be unknown. I don't think people would search "Unknown" to try to get to Gen VI's region page. Also, it creates a circle, people will click on the link, get to the disambiguation page, and be linked back to the page they came from. It's not really practical.

== Editing getting deleted ==

first off, i would like to say that a ton of my edits are constantly being deleted, leaving me going absolutely nowhere in bulbapedia. how do i get them back/on there, and what is causing all of this madness!?–[[User:Snivylover20|Snivylover20]] ([[User talk:Snivylover20|talk]]) 05:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:A lot of your edits have been undone by other users because it was either unneeded, or it didn't follow Bulbapedia standards. My suggestion for you to improve as an editor is reading the {{bp|Manual of Style}}. This is a great resource to use because it shows you the ins and outs of editing. I hope this helps.

== Template Preview ==

Do you think that there would be someway to make a Template Preview so that when editing a usermade template it doesn't take five edits just to make it work correctly with the #switch{{}} type stuff. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 14:49, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
:Other than using the preview button I'm not sure there is a way to test it without editing it several times. You could try the {{bp|Sandbox}}, a place specifically designed for testing things of that nature. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
::I really don't understand how you're supposed to use that for testing templates, since unless you can make a sandbox/template test/EXAMPLE you would have to {{tt|delete the rest of the stuff there|Is that allowed?}} to actually test a template there. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 01:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
:::I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to do here. If you want to see how a template works, you can either use the sandbox (just add a new section at bottom of the page), or you can test it in your userspace. For example if you have a template at "User:IVsaur/TEMPLATE", you can test it on its respective talk page "User talk:IVsaur/TEMPLATE". The staff is a bit more lenient if your editing a template that will be put to use in the mainspace later on, just don't get to excessive with it.

::::Basically when I had been editing the User:IVsaur/User Starters I had to edit it multiple times because the #switch{{}} function hadn't been working how I wanted it to and I couldn't see anything except for the default until saving it, so I had to save it see how it looked and then edit again.{{tt|*|which is why the exessive edits on Feb. 11}} -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 02:22, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
:::::Okay I understand, just try to be more aware of the amount of times your editing the page. I don't think there's any real way to test it, but through trial and error. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 15:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I am a newer member....not even sure if I'm putting this in the right place to be honest....

Anyway...uh...I literally just read a message sent to me about trivia...
I honestly am a little confused, as I do not think that this is making much sense...
Can you be a bit more specific? I thought my purpose was to edit...and I honestly do not remember reading anything specifying this kind of editing. I really am confused...is there anything you can do to make a bit more sense out of this? Thanks...

That was back January of '09. This place...the people got it. For years, this place was the site to go if I needed help with Pokémon game [though I'd try to avoid it until I beat the Elite 4...]. It was just a place that seemed like a place meant for this kind of stuff...I joined only a few days ago...I wanted to make sure I'd get a userpage. Why? Because Pokémon has been my life since 2008. I even have a Pikachu from Barnes & Noble that I've used as a teddy bear lately. He comforts me. He has been my comfort item. Like a blanket you see cartoon kids snuggling with. It matters. This place...it means a lot.

Pokémon is one of them...and it is my love of Pokémon that has made me willing to work my butt off to make this place a place where people can leave their worries behind...at least for a few minutes. And that is what matters.
I hope this clears some my actions...at least some what. Thank you for trying to at least help.

:::I'm trying to be specific on what I'm NOT supposed to do [along the lines of editing...not obvious rules like "no swearing", but exactly ''what'' I need to avoid when editing. This is what the message I got said...
''*First in National Dex Order to/of/that x
*Only type in a color group
*Can learn x without x/Has x but can't learn x
*Pokedex =/= game mechanics
*Move learnability across generations''

It is not very specific, it is not making a whole lot of sense...and it is very, very basic. In fact, it barely tells me what is to be avoided. And it is not specific. I like being specific [obviously]...also, I want specific info because I dislike breaking rules...so I usually want it to be so specific that there are no loopholes for either side whatsoever.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is dark purple in color and roundish in shape. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar's eyes are now red, its back has a spiny appearance, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin. Gengar is very similar to [[Clefable]] and it is believed that Gengar is [[Clefable]]'s shadow.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[File:Fantina Gengar.png|thumb|210px|right|Gengar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers.

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gengar Adventures.png|thumb|[[Agatha]]'s Gengar, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team, and many in her {{type|Ghost}} army. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow. Eventually, it was taken down when Koga used the tail that the old woman's {{p|Arbok}} bit off his own to distract it long enough for [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] to deal the finishing blow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games (and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}).

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s Gengar debuted in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'' as a Haunter. There it evolved while battling {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

{{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caught a Gengar prior to [[PM054]] but officially debuted in [[PM055]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Morty called out Gengar to stop a {{p|Spearow}} from stealing the satchel that contained berries collected by {{GnB|Gold}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Agatha]]'s Gengar went up against {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]''.
{{-}}

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
The Gengar from [[Team Meanies]] appears as a major character and antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar that appears must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar was originally known as "Phantom".
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, with whom it battles in the beginning of {{game5|Red|Blue|Green|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, originate from the ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' manga, which is considered the precursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], it knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation.
* Although it has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Eelektross}}.

It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or {{wp| Cheshire Cat}} and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}''.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is dark purple in color and roundish in shape. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar's eyes are now red, its back has a spiny appearance, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin. Gengar is very similar to [[Clefable]] and is believed to be [[Clefable]]'s shadow.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[File:Fantina Gengar.png|thumb|210px|right|Gengar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

===Minor appearances===
A group of Gengar, along with a group of Haunter, was creating illusions within a forest in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' where it participated in a Pokémon beauty contest.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]'' in {{an|Brock}}'s thoughts.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of a Trainer in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Gengar was partnered with two [[Team Rocket]] trainees in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s Gym Leader [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'', and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gengar Adventures.png|thumb|[[Agatha]]'s Gengar, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team, and many in her {{type|Ghost}} army. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow. Eventually, it was taken down when Koga used the tail that the old woman's {{p|Arbok}} bit off his own to distract it long enough for [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] to deal the finishing blow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games (and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}).

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s Gengar debuted in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'' as a Haunter. There it evolved while battling {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

{{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caught a Gengar prior to [[PM054]] but officially debuted in [[PM055]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Morty called out Gengar to stop a {{p|Spearow}} from stealing the satchel that contained berries collected by {{GnB|Gold}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Agatha]]'s Gengar went up against {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]''.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
The Gengar from [[Team Meanies]] appears as a major character and antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar that appears must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar was originally known as "Phantom".
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, with whom it battles in the beginning of {{game5|Red|Blue|Green|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, originate from the ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' manga, which is considered the precursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], it knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation.
* Although it has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Eelektross}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or {{wp| Cheshire Cat}} and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}''.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is dark purple in color and roundish in shape. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar's eyes are now red, its back has a spiny appearance, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin. Gengar is very similar to [[Clefable]] which has led many to believe that Gengar is [[Clefable]]'s shadow.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[File:Fantina Gengar.png|thumb|210px|right|Gengar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

===Minor appearances===
A group of Gengar, along with a group of Haunter, was creating illusions within a forest in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' where it participated in a Pokémon beauty contest.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]'' in {{an|Brock}}'s thoughts.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of a Trainer in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Gengar was partnered with two [[Team Rocket]] trainees in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s Gym Leader [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'', and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gengar Adventures.png|thumb|[[Agatha]]'s Gengar, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team, and many in her {{type|Ghost}} army. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow. Eventually, it was taken down when Koga used the tail that the old woman's {{p|Arbok}} bit off his own to distract it long enough for [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] to deal the finishing blow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games (and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}).

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s Gengar debuted in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'' as a Haunter. There it evolved while battling {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

{{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caught a Gengar prior to [[PM054]] but officially debuted in [[PM055]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Morty called out Gengar to stop a {{p|Spearow}} from stealing the satchel that contained berries collected by {{GnB|Gold}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Agatha]]'s Gengar went up against {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]''.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
The Gengar from [[Team Meanies]] appears as a major character and antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar that appears must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar was originally known as "Phantom".
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, with whom it battles in the beginning of {{game5|Red|Blue|Green|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, originate from the ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' manga, which is considered the precursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], it knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation.
* Although it has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Eelektross}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or {{wp| Cheshire Cat}} and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}''.

[[File:Trainer DP098.png|right|thumb|250px|Lickilicky's Trainer]]

The male '''Trainer''' is a [[character of the day]] who appears in ''[[DP098|If the Scarf Fits, Wear It!]].''

He left his Lickitung at the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care Center]] some time after the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]]. [[Angie's parents]] asked [[Angie]] to look after his Lickitung, but in doing so it evolved into a Lickilicky.

Though Angie's parents were mad at her, this Trainer was ecstatic because he didn't have the time to evolve Lickitung himself, thus letting Angie off the hook.

|desc=This Trainer left his {{p|Lickitung}} at the [[Pokémon Day Care|Day Care Center]] some time after the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]]. Angie was asked to watch over it by her parents as they were going away on a trip. Eager to impress her parents, Angie worked far too hard training Lickitung and taught it to use {{m|Rollout}} which caused it to evolve into a {{p|Lickilicky}}.

Knowing she'd be in big trouble for evolving another Trainer's Pokémon, and as Lickilicky refused to be kept inside its [[Poké Ball]], Angie hid Lickilicky in a cave. However, Lickilicky escaped and people began believing it was a 'Scarf Monster' due to the scarf Angie made it wear. Team Rocket attempted to capture it even after learning it wasn't a monster but Angie was able to expertly command Lickilicky and fought Team Rocket off. Although Angie's parents were upset with her for evolving Lickitung, its Trainer could not be happier about what had happened as he couldn't be bothered to evolve it himself. As a result, Angie was let off the hook.

Lickilicky's known moves are {{m|Wrap}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Rollout}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Lickilicky's Trainer uses several English phrases, such as "Oh my God" and "Thank you very much" in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he speaks in an Italian accent, even mentioning Italian phrases.

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spearow is a brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|avian}} Pokémon that is very small. It has rough {{wp|plumage}} on its head, with a beak shape similar to that of {{wp|Bird of prey|raptors}}, being short but hooked. Spearow’s underside is beige in coloration, with a patterning of two thin stripes. Spearow’s light-pink feet have three talons, and its wings are a pinkish-red with lighter edges. Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.

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

===Special abilities===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Behavior===

Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Spearow are hardy and are usually found in rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Spearow usually eat weak bug-like Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}. They have also been known to eat {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Pidgey}} eggs.

==In the anime==
[[File:Spearow anime.png|250px|thumb|Spearow in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}} was attacked by a large flock of Spearow in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' after he hit one Spearow on the head with a rock to weaken it, thinking it was a {{p|Pidgey}}, (because {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to obey and battle). The flock of Spearow returned, with the leader, the very same Spearow that Ash had hit in the first episode, as a {{p|Fearow}} in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. The flock reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
====Name origin====
Spearow is a combination of ''spear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''.

Onisuzume is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spearow is a brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|avian}} Pokémon that is very small. It has rough {{wp|plumage}} on its head, with a beak shape similar to that of {{wp|Bird of prey|raptors}}, being short but hooked. Spearow’s underside is beige in coloration, with a patterning of two thin stripes. Spearow’s light-pink feet have three talons, and its wings are a pinkish-red with lighter edges. Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.

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

===Special abilities===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Behavior===

Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Spearow are hardy and are usually found in rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Spearow usually eat weak bug-like Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}. They have also been known to eat {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Pidgey}} eggs.

==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
====Name origin====
Spearow is a combination of ''spear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''.

Onisuzume is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spearow is a brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|avian}} Pokémon that is very small. It has rough {{wp|plumage}} on its head, with a beak shape similar to that of {{wp|Bird of prey|raptors}}, being short but hooked. Spearow’s underside is beige in coloration, with a patterning of two thin stripes. Spearow’s light-pink feet have three talons, and its wings are a pinkish-red with lighter edges. Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.

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

===Special abilities===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Behavior===

Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Spearow are hardy and are usually found in rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Spearow usually eat weak bug-like Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}. They have also been known to eat {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Pidgey}} eggs.

==In the anime==
[[File:Spearow anime.png|250px|thumb|Spearow in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Ash}} was attacked by a large flock of Spearow in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' after he hit one Spearow on the head with a rock to weaken it, thinking it was a {{p|Pidgey}}, (because {{AP|Pikachu}} refused to obey and battle). The flock of Spearow returned, with the leader, the very same Spearow that Ash had hit in the first episode, as a {{p|Fearow}} in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic!]]''. The flock reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

A Spearow appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

A Spearow made an appearance in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.

A Spearow was among the Pokémon seen at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.

A flock of Spearow appeared in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'' where they attacked flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}}.

A [[Three punks|Trainer]] that attacked a {{AP|Lapras}} had a Spearow in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]''. In the same episode, one appeared in a flashback.

==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
====Name origin====
Spearow is a combination of ''spear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''.

Onisuzume is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

'''Spearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニスズメ''' ''Onisuzume'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Spearow is a brown {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|avian}} Pokémon that is very small. It has rough {{wp|plumage}} on its head, with a beak shape similar to that of {{wp|Bird of prey|raptors}}, being short but hooked. Spearow’s underside is beige in coloration, with a patterning of two thin stripes. Spearow’s light-pink feet have three talons, and its wings are a pinkish-red with lighter edges. Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.

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

===Special abilities===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Behavior===

Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Spearow are hardy and are usually found in rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Spearow usually eat weak bug-like Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}. They have also been known to eat {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Pidgey}} eggs.

==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
====Name origin====
Spearow is a combination of ''spear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''.

Onisuzume is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).

Spearow’s back is black in coloration, and it has three brown-colored tail feathers.

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

===Special abilities===
Although inept at other aspects of its {{m|Fly|flying}}, such as height and distance, Spearow is still capable of flying quickly to protect its territory. Spearow is described as being frail, but still allegedly capable of being a tough Pokémon due to its ability to use {{m|Mirror Move}}.

===Behavior===

Spearow are easily angered and very protective of their territory, and may chase after foes in large flocks. Spearow is required to flap its wings at incredibly high speeds to stay airborne, and thus is inept at flying high or for long distances. However, it is still capable of flying very quickly to protect its territory, and while doing such, it makes a high-pitched cry. Spearow’s cry is very loud and can be heard half a mile (one kilometer) away, and if the cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger. Spearow is also depicted to see in black and white.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Spearow are hardy and are usually found in rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Spearow usually eat weak bug-like Pokémon such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}. They have also been known to eat {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Pidgey}} eggs.

==Trivia==
* According to the anime, Spearow does not have the ability to perceive color. This is seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.
* Spearow shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* The English names of the Spearow family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and {{p|Fearow}}, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.

===Origin===
It has been suggested that Spearow resembles a {{wp|falcon}} of some sort rather than a {{wp|sparrow}}. Its stocky appearance is more sparrow-like, however.
====Name origin====
Spearow is a combination of ''spear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}'' or ''arrow''.

Onisuzume is a combination of 鬼 ''oni'' (demon) and 雀 ''suzume'' (sparrow).
