Staryu (Pokémon)

Keegster2: /* Origin */ are you even Trying? I have no idea what the best way to phrase this reference is (the Manual of Style subpage for formatting references doesn't exist yet, frustratingly), so I tried to emulate the Super Mario Wiki's format.

'''Staryu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトデマン''' ''Hitodeman'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Starmie}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Staryu is a golden-brown, {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with faceted skin and five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point. Staryu have no jointed limbs to speak of, instead using their psychic powers to move themselves around. If any of Staryu's appendages are lost or eaten by predators like {{p|Lumineon}}, it is unharmed and can grow them back with ease provided the core is still intact.

When the sun goes down, Staryu's core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', it is shown that if Staryu becomes weak, its core will grow faint and flash slowly. During the ends of summer, groups of Staryu tend to gather while lighting up in a steady rhythm. Staryu can be found at the very bottom of the ocean on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|seafloors}}. However, there are times when Staryu finds itself in rivers that lead into the ocean, as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]].

In [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] and the original Japanese version of the ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'' episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as {{wp|Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Staryu was the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Evolution===
Staryu evolves into {{p|Starmie}}.

[[File:Staryu SSB4.png|200px|thumb|Staryu in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS/Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Staryu will target one of the opponents, spin towards them, and shoot {{m|Swift}}.

The corresponding Spirit Battle occurs on {{sbw|Tortimer Island}} is against {{sbw|Rosalina}} & {{sbw|Luma}}, who start the battle with a {{sbw|Star Rod}}. Aside from Rosalina & Luma's Star Rod, the only items that spawn is the aforementioned Poké Ball summon.

====Melee trophy information====
''These starshape Pokémon that evolve into Starmie are found in large numbers at the seashore. At night, Staryu's red center glows and blinks on and off. It's said that as long as its red center remains, it can regrow its limbs. Whether it's related to {{p|Cleffa}}, another Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped appearance, is unknown.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Star Shape Pokémon. It gathers in groups and flashes the red jewel in the center of its body in time to the twinkling of the stars in the night sky. If it loses appendages, it can regenerate them right away. It can also use {{m|Camouflage}}, which allows it to change its type to match the surrounding terrain. If a Water Stone is used on it, evolves into Starmie."''
{{-}}

====3DS/Wii U Trophy information====
[[File:Staryu 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Staryu trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon, Staryu, greatly resembles a star. Exposing one to a Water Stone causes it to evolve into Starmie. Another star-shaped Pokémon, Cleffa, exists, but the two don't look all that similar. In Smash Bros., Staryu will attack foes with Swift. Anyone hit will be seeing stars! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Water-type Pokémon evolves into Starmie when you use a Water Stone. Its star shape makes it rather cute, but that doesn't mean Staryu's not a threat. Its Swift attack will pummel fighters with a flurry of stars. If you notice Staryu's aiming at you, quickly move up or down to get out of the line of fire. ''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, Staryu is the only Pokémon with the [[Field Move]] {{m|Flash}}.
** Once Staryu serves its purpose with Flash, it cannot be captured again, except during the {{p|Kyogre}} mission.
* Staryu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one is able to collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Staryu shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Cleffa}}. They are both known as the Star Shape Pokémon.
* Staryu was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* Staryu, {{p|Starmie}}, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* Staryu may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Shellder}}. Both are Water-types in the {{Egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]], both evolve with a Water Stone, and both gain a second type upon [[Evolution]]. {{p|Cloyster}} is seen as a slow defensive Pokémon, while {{p|Starmie}} is seen as a fast attacking Pokémon.
** They also have a chance of holding [[valuable item]]s, [[Stardust]]/[[Star Piece]] and {{i|Pearl}}/[[Big Pearl]], respectively. Staryu is exclusive to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|X and Y|X}}, while {{p|Shellder}} is exclusive to FireRed and Y, with both Pokémon found by fishing in the same locations in their respective versions.
**Starfishes and oysters are natural enemies, as starfishes prey on oysters.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]] erroneously refers to Staryu as a male, despite it being a Pokémon species that is [[gender unknown]].

===Origin===
Staryu seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|common starfish}}, or the {{wp|Fromia monilis|necklace starfish}} with its vivid red center surrounded by bright plates. Like Staryu, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regenerate}} lost body parts. Staryu's [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}} or {{wp|asexual reproduction}}, observed in some real-life starfish species. In the [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] and the original Japanese version of the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Staryu is classified as hermaphroditic.

Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, Staryu may also be based on literal {{wp|stars}} and {{wp|meteors}}. It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a polished {{wp|cabochon}} gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its {{Shiny}} color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propellers}}.

Additionally, Staryu's ties to outer space, its Japanese name, its ability to learn various beam attacks, and the gem in its middle acting like a heart may all be a reference to the {{wp|Ultraman}} series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests, which are called Color Timers, that start flashing when they are weak, just like Staryu's gem as shown in {{aniseries|PTS}}. Staryu's vocal effects in {{pkmn|animation}} also bring to mind the vocal effects that most Shōwa-era Ultra Warriors use, most notably the original Ultraman. In May 2018, the official Pokémon YouTube channel posted a music video featuring Staryu, which furthers the connection.<ref>@PokemonCoJp, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBb9YzysT28 "【公式】ヒトデマンのうた「ぼくらのヒトデマン」MV（ポケモンだいすきクラブ）"], YouTube.</ref>

"Mīmī", the [[Capsule Monsters|early prototype]] of Staryu, appears etymologically reminiscent of the alien Mimy, an adversary from {{wp|Ultraseven}} possessing a starfish-esque starship, with Ultraseven being one of the direct inspiration sources for the [[Pokémon]] franchise.<ref>大月隆寛+ポケモン事件緊急取材班 (1998). ポケモンの魔力. Mainichi Newspaper Co. Ltd. ISBN 4-620-31218-5.</ref> Furthermore, the 1956 film {{wp|Warning from Space}} may have served as an additional inspiration for Staryu. Production of the 1956 film involved several people who later contributed in the Ultra series, and the film also had significant influences on the {{wp|Gamera}} franchise, where the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|concept art of Mīmī]] depicts it fighting Karabajio, the early concept of {{p|Blastoise}}.

====Name origin====
Staryu may be a combination of ''star'' and ''you'' (in opposition to the ''me'' in {{p|Starmie}}).

Hitodeman may be a combination of 海星 ''hitode'' (starfish) and ''man'' (possibly in reference to {{wp|Ultraman}}).

Keegster2: /* Trivia */ Again, "roller coaster" is properly spelled as two words. Also, while the Manual of Style doesn't talk about past-tense writing, a lot of other wikis discourage it when talking about scenes in a work's plot.

'''Gigi's Choice''' (Japanese: '''VS ジャノビー''' ''VS Servine''), titled '''VS Servine''' in the [[Shogakukan Asia]] translation, is the 485th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 25th chapter of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}.

It is subtitled '''Servine''' (Japanese: '''数式''' ''Numerical Formula'') in the [[VIZ Media]] translation and '''Gigi's Choice''' in the Shogakukan Asia translation.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
In the [[Nimbasa Gym]] control room, [[Elesa]] is wondering who could have tampered with the operation of the roller coasters. Behind her, a young boy sneaks in and out of the control room. Once outside, it morphs back into a {{p|Zorua}} and gazes at the {{DL|Nimbasa City|Rondez-View Ferris Wheel}} which is set in motion.

At the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel, {{adv|N}} has trapped {{adv|White}} and [[Gigi]] inside one of the Ferris Wheel cabins. He claims that the thunderstorm earlier was caused by a {{p|Thundurus|one-horned being passing by}} which was angry towards humans. White peeks out of the cabin window and sees that the cabin is already quite high up, but is even more shocked when she sees the {{p|Maractus}}-owning {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} reunited with his colleagues. N answers a call from the Grunts below, which makes White finally realize that N is a member of [[Team Plasma]].

However, N elaborates on that, stating that he is their "King", whose job is to save Pokémon, and to do that, he saves people who save Pokémon. White remembers [[Ghetsis]] saying something like that. After N confuses White with his remark about Ferris Wheels and mathematical formulas joining together, he finally reveals why he trapped White: he was looking for White all this time, and was questioning the purpose of her latest brainchild. Before he waits for White's response, he suddenly holds up Gigi's left foreleg. White tries to stop him but a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}} accompanying N smacks White's hand away.

Left with no choice, White starts to explain. Her explanation of the [[Pokémon Musical]] drifts into another heartfelt talk of her ambitions. White concludes by challenging N to prove her wrong. N surprises her by claiming that he agrees, except for one thing: the ability to perform is only one aspect of Pokémon, and to focus on it too much would be to suppress all their other aspects, including the most important one, {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. He claims that battling is the natural instinct of Pokémon; their ability to survive in a natural habitat for as long as possible, and it is wrong for humans to take this ability away. N holds Gigi up again, and reminds her of [[Tep]] who had [[Evolution|evolved]] earlier. Then suddenly, Servine {{m|Wrap|wraps}} its body around Gigi.

A horrified White tells N to stop hurting Gigi, claiming that she can't battle. But N sternly remarks that it's not because Gigi can't battle, it's because White won't allow her to. White demands to know why Team Plasma who preaches for the liberation of Pokémon would suddenly hurt such a Pokémon. N sidesteps that question slightly, claiming that White was not fulfilling Gigi's needs and desires because she didn't listen to her. N states that not listening to a Pokémon's voices is a sin. Suddenly, and to White's absolute horror, Gigi unleashes an {{m|Ember}} attack at Servine. N congratulates Gigi, and sees the potential in Gigi to defeat even the Champion someday.

White, now consumed by the horrifying idea that she had staunched and suppressed Gigi all this time, slides the cabin door open once the cabin is descending to ground, and while holding onto the door handle, motions Gigi to jump out with her. Gigi, after a slight hesitation, shocks White by hopping on N's lap instead. White, in total disbelief, lets go of the door handle and falls towards the grassland below.

N, holding Gigi in his arms, states to himself that he must hear all of the Pokémon's voices, and he would do that after surpassing the Champion, in order to make his message clear. He motions to Servine, and it hops off the cabin and lands next to White, who has a blank look on her face as tears roll down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, a [[Alder|burly man with bright orange hair]] is {{m|surf}}ing towards [[Nimbasa City]] on his {{p|Bouffalant}}.

==Major events==
* {{p|Zorua}} messes with the Ferris Wheel's controls, making it stop in place.
* {{adv|N}} reveals to {{adv|White}} that he is [[Team Plasma]]'s king.
* N convinces [[Gigi]] to join his cause, making her betray White.
* White falls off of the Ferris Wheel and falls unconscious at Gigi's betrayal.
* N gives White his {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}.
* [[Alder]] makes his way towards [[Nimbasa City]].

Keegster2: /* Plot */ The use of it/its pronouns to refer to Black's Pokémon (and Thundurus) despite them all having confirmed genders bothers me, but the repeated use of "rollercoaster" when it's properly two words bugs me even more.

'''Battle on a Roller Coaster''' (Japanese: '''VS ゼブライカ''' ''VS Zebstrika''), titled '''VS Zebstrika''' in the [[Shogakukan Asia]] translation, is the 484th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 24th chapter of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}.

It is subtitled '''Zebstrika''' (Japanese: '''回転''' ''Rotation'') in the [[VIZ Media]] translation and '''Battle on a Roller Coaster''' in the Shogakukan Asia translation.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
{{adv|Black}} arrives at the [[Nimbasa Gym]], where he soon meets [[Elesa]] riding on the roller coaster. She explains to him how to use the floor buttons to change the ride's route, then takes off to meet him at the end. Black navigates the ride with [[Musha]]'s help, eventually finding Elesa. He attempts to step onto her platform, but soon finds that the ride's safety harness has jammed, trapping him inside. Elesa suggests returning to battle on a different day, but Black refuses.

Elesa begins the fight by sending out her {{p|Zebstrika}}. Black sends [[Tula]] to face it, but before he can call out a move, he is whisked away by the ride. He attempts to have Tula hit Zebstrika with {{m|Electro Ball}} from afar, but the attack only increases the latter's {{stat|Speed}} due to its {{a|Motor Drive}} [[Ability]]. Zebstrika then uses {{m|Flame Charge}} against Tula, rendering it [[fainting|unable to continue battling]].

Black's next Pokémon is [[Bo|Nite]], who chases Zebstrika with its impressive speed. Zebstrika uses {{m|Volt Switch}} to swap places with the {{p|Emolga}} in Elesa's [[party]], catching Nite off guard. Nite attempts to strike Emolga, but its repeated use of Volt Switch renders this difficult. A well-timed {{m|Bulldoze}} from Nite manages to knock out Zebstrika, but Emolga remains an elusive opponent. Emolga attacks Nite, knocking it onto Black's roller coaster car.

Seeing Nite almost to the point of fainting, Elesa asks why Black has refrained from having Musha clear his thoughts. Black explains that he sees himself as a coach to his team of Pokémon, and that it would be irresponsible for a coach to beg his players for a strategy in the middle of a match. He tells Elesa that the battle is his own responsibility, impressing her.

Black pays close attention to his surroundings as he travels along the track of the roller coaster. Spotting Emolga, Black has Nite use the momentum of the ride to launch itself toward it. Nite slams Emolga to the ground, knocking it out and giving the victory to Black.

Elesa attempts to award Black with the {{badge|Bolt}}, but he is whisked away by the ride once more. He is taken outdoors, where he is immediately met with a heavy thunderstorm. Shielding himself from the rain, Black glances upward to see a {{p|Thundurus|one-horned being}} above him. It swings its tail at him, electrocuting him. When the ride takes Black back inside the Gym, he tells Elesa about the creature he had seen, leading her to realize it was Thundurus, a [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Unova]].

Finally having received his fourth Gym badge, Black heads off to reunite with {{adv|White}}.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Black}} has his Gym battle against [[Elesa]].
* Black defeats Elesa and earns the {{badge|Bolt}}.
* Black encounters the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Forces of nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}.

'''An Odd Speech''' (Japanese: '''VS ドッコラー''' ''VS Timburr''), titled '''VS Timburr''' in the [[Shogakukan Asia]] translation, is the 466th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the sixth chapter of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}.

It is subtitled '''Timburr''' (Japanese: '''演説''' ''Speech'') in the [[VIZ Media]] translation and '''Script Lines''' in the Shogakukan Asia translation.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
At night in [[Accumula Town]], {{adv|White}} is watching a playback of the film scene that featured [[Tep]] and [[Gigi]] as minor characters. At the same time, {{adv|Black}} is setting up a tent. White calls the film director to inform him of her feedback, and after hanging up the [[Xtransceiver]] call, tells Black the director's feedback about Tep and Gigi. Black finishes setting up the tent, and sees why they are camping: the [[BW Agency]] is losing money and White is trying to cut cost. However Black fails to see why they still need to rent a hotel room for only Tep and Gigi. White explains that [[Gigi]] is an actress and deserves to be treated like one. In the middle of White's explanation of Gigi's schedule, Black scoffs that Gigi's precious career is wasting his and Tep's precious time, which causes White to become annoyed. She shows Black two invoices; one detailing the cost of the damaged filming equipment and the other detailing the amount of money Tep earned from the filming session.

Black is horrified to see that the filming equipment costs 50 times more than the amount of money Tep earned and questions if he was employed just to clear the debt for her. White says that the filming company cannot sue children for damage claims, but if Black is employed the situation becomes a company to company matter. She did this to show courtesy to the people she works and partners with, which is a code of conduct in the business environment. White softens down and reminds Black that he helped her solve an initial crisis by lending Tep to her. After thanking Black and asking him and Tep to stay with her and Gigi for a while due to the positive feedback they received, White starts talking about her own ambitions in a heartfelt way, which attracts [[Musha]] towards her head but Black beckons Musha and [[Brav]] back and starts to go into the tent to sleep. Before closing the tent, Black addresses White as "Boss" and says that he will think about the offers given to Tep. White, glad to hear that, places one of the sponsored Xtransceivers by the tent and bids him goodnight.

Just then, the ground shakes. Black hears a scream, and peeks out of the tent to see White being chased around by something driving lumber into the ground. Black sees that White has a bag full of [[Poké Ball]]s, and tells White to take one of them out to battle, but White shakes her head. Black therefore has to call Brav out to pick White off the ground just as the lumber is about to strike her. While Brav takes White to safety, Black has Musha clamp on his head again. White realizes that he's doing the same thing as before, during the {{p|Galvantula}} incident, and Black explains why he does it. Soon, Black takes Musha off his head, and notices a rectangle of square shapes being carved on the grass. He postulates that the creature chasing White wasn't attacking her, but trying to build something. He spots the creature, which is a {{p|Timburr}}, and scolds it for starting construction work without notifying him first.

Two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|people in medieval knight attire}} accompanied by a group of Timburr then appear in front of Black and White, apologizing for the inconvenience before telling them to leave. Black asks if the two are Trainers of the Timburr, but they ignore that question, and show Black and White a construction permit, insisting that they leave. The next morning, Black and White return to where they had been, and see a big stage built over the grassland. Residents start gathering in front of the stage. Soon, many more medieval knights line up around the stage, some carrying flags, before a green-haired man walks onto the stage. He introduces himself as [[Ghetsis]] and delivers a speech to the residents of Accumula.

After the speech ends and Ghetsis walks off stage with the knights following him, the gathered residents disperse. Some dismiss his speech entirely as a load of nonsense, but a young boy in tears then asks his mother if it's okay to release his {{p|Petilil}}. An older man next to White suddenly drops to his knees, and White wonders what's wrong. The man, who has trained Pokémon for many years, feels a sense of guilt at the thought of holding Pokémon to do things against their will. Just as White tries to comfort him, Black sees another younger man bidding farewell to his {{p|Ferroseed}}. Black and White look around and see many others doing the same thing: releasing their Pokémon.

Required Party Pokémon

2026-05-19T20:09:23Z

Keegster2: I wasn't sure about adding these to the page at first, but seeing as Drayton's Elite Test has been added to this page despite not requiring a specific species, I'll add these after all. Speaking of the Elite Test, there's some info I know from experience (and typos too).

{{Unknown name}}
{{move|Required Pokémon}}
A '''Required Party Pokémon''' is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is mandatory to be in the [[party]] in certain events in the games. Frequently, this applies early in games when the player has only their [[first partner Pokémon]] and has not yet been given the ability to acquire other Pokémon or access [[Trade|trading]] or [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] functionality. However, there are occasionally certain other scenarios in which this concept may apply. From {{g|X and Y}} onward, it is ensured that the player's storage can't legally be full when a mandatory catch comes by making sure the final [[PC]] Box stays locked until the moment the player catches it so there's always a place to put it.

==In General==
In order to evolve {{p|Mantyke}} into {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Remoraid}} must be in the party.

==Generation I==
==={{g|Stadium (Japanese)}}===
{{m|Surf}} can be taught to a {{p|Pikachu}} if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a Pikachu in their party.

==={{g|Stadium}}===
Exclusively in international releases of Pokémon Stadium, Surf can be taught to a Pikachu if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak (the Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game), not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and having Pikachu participate in the final battle.

==={{game|Yellow}}===
In order to play the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame in the original versions, a [[surfing Pikachu]] must be transferred from other games and put in the player's party. In the [[Virtual Console]] editions, only [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's partner Pikachu]] is required.

==Generation III==
==={{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}} and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}}===
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is necessary to have {{p|Relicanth}} at the top of the party and {{p|Wailord}} at the bottom of the party while reading the inscription in the second room of the [[Sealed Chamber]] so as to open the doors of the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]]. In Pokémon Emerald, the required party positions of Relicanth and Wailord are swapped.

==Generation IV==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, and {{game|Platinum||Platinum}}===
In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are required in order to fight {{p|Regigigas}}. In Platinum, a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas is required in order to fight Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
The only way to access the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] is by bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from an {{pkmn2|event|event distribution}} or an Arceus which the game recognizes as a traded Pokémon from the [[Hall of Origin]] to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The event is triggered by having Arceus as the {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] and entering the Ruins of Alph. However, due to the [[Azure Flute]] never being released in [[Generation IV]], it is not possible to obtain an Arceus from the Hall of Origin without the use of [[glitch]]es or [[cheating]].

==Generation V==
==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
At the climax of {{game|Black and White|s}}, inside [[N's Castle]], {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} will appear in front of the {{player}} and challenge them. The player ''must'' capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with [[N]]. The only exception occurs if the player has a full party, and a completely filled {{pkmn|Storage System}} (a total of 726 individual Pokémon). In this case, Reshiram{{sup/5|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|W}} will reappear at the peak of [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating N and [[Ghetsis]].

==Generation VI==
==={{g|X and Y}}===
After battling [[Korrina]] at [[Shalour Gym]], she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the [[Tower of Mastery]]. There, the {{p|Lucario}} that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle, but even if they choose not to accept it, it will still be registered as owned in the Pokédex from the battle in which it was borrowed.

In the player's final confrontation with [[Team Flare]] at their [[Team Flare Secret HQ|secret headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} will be awakened and attack the player. Similar to {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the player ''must'' capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with [[Lysandre]]; if it is defeated, it will instantly respawn, but here it is impossible to have a full {{pkmn|Storage System}} beforehand, as the final box is not unlocked until this battle. If the player's party is full, the player will have the chance to send one of their Pokémon to the PC to make room for the Legendary Pokémon immediately; if they do, or if there was already a vacant slot in the party, the Legendary Pokémon will automatically be moved to the front of the party for the upcoming battle.

==={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}===
During the [[Delta Episode]], {{p|Rayquaza}} will insist on being in the party upon being captured and will then battle [[Zinnia]], then {{p|Deoxys}}. If the player used hacks to fill up the locked box, the game will teach Dragon Ascent to a Pokémon other than Rayquaza.

Like {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, it is necessary to have {{p|Relicanth}} at the top of the party and {{p|Wailord}} at the bottom of the party while reading the inscription in the second room of the [[Sealed Chamber]] so as to open the doors of the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]].

In order to encounter {{p|Regigigas}} in the Island Cave, it is required to have {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} in the party. Regice must also have a [[nickname]] as well as hold an ice-based item (a [[Casteliacone]], an [[Icicle Plate]], an [[Icy Rock]], a [[Never-Melt Ice]], or a [[Snowball]]).

To get {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Thundurus}}{{sup/6|AS}}, the player needs a {{p|Castform}} in their party while soaring through the sky.
Finding {{p|Landorus}} requires Tornadus and Thundurus in the player's party while soaring through the sky.
To get {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/6|AS}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/6|OR}}, the player must soar through the sky with {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} in their party.
To get {{p|Giratina}}, the player must have Dialga and Palkia while soaring through the sky.
To reach [[Gnarled Den]], where {{p|Kyurem}} is located, the player needs {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} in their party while soaring through the sky.

==Generation VII==

==Generation VIII==
==={{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}===
In [[The Isle of Armor]], after completing all three trials, the player will receive a {{p|Kubfu}} from [[Mustard]]. The player is then tasked with training at either the Tower of Darkness or the Tower of Waters with Kubfu alone. Unless Kubfu is holding an [[Everstone]], completing its training will cause it to evolve into {{p|Urshifu}} in either its {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} Single Strike Style or {{2t|Fighting|Water}} Rapid Strike Style, depending on the place it trained. If Kubfu is not in the player's party or PC, they can use any Pokémon they want. <ref>https://youtu.be/67aB4dT2JJo Isle of Armor without Kubfu</ref>

In [[The Crown Tundra]], the player needs {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regidrago}}, and {{p|Regieleki}} in their party while at the [[Giant's Bed]] to catch {{p|Regigigas}}.

==={{g|Legends: Arceus}}===
{{incomplete|section|Can the caught legendary Pokemon be traded or transferred to HOME prior to catching the other one?}}
It is necessary to have the {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} the player caught at [[Spear Pillar]] in the party in order to leave [[Jubilife Village]] to battle its counterpart. The game won't even allow the legendary Pokémon to be [[released Pokémon|released]] until the other one is caught in the [[Origin Ball]].

==Generation IX==
==={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}===
In [[Zero Lab]], after the first battle with [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, the Paradise Protection Protocol's defense system will activate prior to the AI professor sending out their {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, preventing the player from using any Pokémon except their own {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} against it.

After completing the main story, the player is given the ability to freely switch {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} between its {{form|Koraidon|Sprinting Build}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{form|Miraidon|Drive Mode}}{{sup/9|V}} and Apex Build{{sup/9|S}}/Ultimate Mode{{sup/9|V}}, the latter allowing it to be used in battle. However, {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} cannot be moved to a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] or traded away; it can only be removed from the player's battle party by reverting it to its rideable form.

Near the end of [[The Teal Mask]], [[Carmine]] requests that the player battle her with {{p|Ogerpon}} in their party; if Ogerpon is in a Box, Carmine will refuse to battle. If Ogerpon is [[Released Pokémon|released]], [[trade]]d, or transferred to [[Pokémon HOME]], Carmine will be disappointed, but offer to battle anyway. Until this battle is finished, as well as the Koraidon/Miraidon battle, [[The Indigo Disk]] can't be played.

During The Indigo Disk, the player must battle 3 Trainers using only Pokémon caught in the [[Terarium]] in their party before battling [[Drayton]]; anything caught anywhere else is forbidden. Pokémon that were caught in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s in the Terarium are also disallowed, as the met area for these Pokémon, "a crystal cavern", is not considered part of it.

==={{g|Legends: Z-A}}===
{{incomplete|section|What if Absol is traded/released? Is that possible before the battle?}}
At the beginning of [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|main mission]] 10, "The Secrets of Mega Evolution", the player is required to have an {{p|Absol}} holding an [[Absolite]] in their party in order to battle their [[rival]], [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]].

During main mission 26, "An Invitation from the SBC", Asami the {{tc|Furisode Girl}} requests that the player defeat her {{p|Florges}} with a [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon in order to earn access to [[Boutique Couture]]. If Florges is not defeated with a direct attack from a Mega-Evolved Pokémon, the battle must be restarted.

In [[Mega Dimension]], during hyperspace mission 1, "Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No. 1", [[Korrina]] asks the player to use Mega Evolution during a battle with her. If the player does not Mega Evolve any Pokémon prior to defeating her, the battle must be restarted.

In both the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Mega Dimension, certain side missions require the player to use a specific species or [[type]] of Pokémon in a battle:

Tera Raid Battle

2026-05-19T19:24:55Z

Keegster2: /* Timer */ cringing right now because of this apostrophe

[[File:Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Battle screenshot.png|thumb|250px|A Tera Raid Battle against a {{t|Water}} {{Tera|Tera Type}} {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
A '''Tera Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''テラレイドバトル''' ''Tera Raid Battle'') is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] featured in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} in which four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{Tera}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which remains Terastallized until enough damage has been dealt to the Pokémon.

==History==
Tera Raid Crystals are created from energy unleashed from the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] over the years. During the post-game events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, stronger 5★ and black 6★ raid crystals begin to appear. [[Jacq]] asks the player to not participate in the 6★ raids for the player's safety, due to the overwhelming energy contained within. If the player ignores his request and manages to defeat one, it's revealed from the readings that they're being caused by residual energy leaking from [[Area Zero]] into the rest of [[Paldea]]. In certain events, 7★ Raids show up with very rare Pokémon normally not found in Paldea. The rare Pokémon discovered in 7★ Raids have often included [[Legendary Pokémon]] and the fully evolved forms of [[first partner Pokémon]], including the three [[Hisuian form]]s of {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Crystal screenshot.jpg|thumb|250px|A Grass Tera crystal, containing a Grass Tera-type Pokémon]]
A number of shining crystals will be scattered across Paldea, which are visible at a distance in the overworld by a beam of light shooting up from them if they have not already been visited. The color of the crystal will also indicate the Tera Type of the Pokémon within, with the exception of black 6★ and 7★ difficulty crystals. These black raid crystals are displayed with the correct type icon on the minimap, but are displayed with a black background and subtle purple glow. Crystals associated with a [[Poké Portal News]] event will also be surrounded by circular ring-shaped auras when up close, and their type icons on the map will have a thicker, glowing border.

Visiting each crystal for the first time awards a certain amount of LP, even if the player chooses not to participate in the raid:
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; background: #{{paldea color}}; border: 3px solid #{{paldea color dark}};"
|-

! style="background: #FFFFFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{tt|★★★★★★★|Crystals at this level are only available from Poké Portal News}}
| style="background: #FFFFFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 2000 LP
|}
No LP is given for visiting the same crystal subsequent times, or for joining a raid hosted by another player. If the host manages to defeat the Tera Raid, their crystal will disappear. Unlike Max Raid Battles, completing all possible raids in the region will not make a new set of crystals respawn; instead, they will only respawn at midnight or when the player receives new Poké Portal News data.

Each Trainer uses a single Pokémon (from either their party or [[Pokémon Box Link|Box]]) against the Tera Pokémon. When starting a Tera Raid Battle, players can see a silhouette of the Tera Pokémon, its Tera Type, and a star rating of its difficulty. The objective, "''Defeat the Tera Pokémon within the time limit!''", is displayed in the lower right corner. Additionally, if the raid has been opened to other players, there is a 3-minute timer for those players to join and select a Pokémon, or the currently selected Pokémon will be locked in at the end of the timer and the raid automatically starts. Each player at the waiting screen in these raids can see the other three Trainers participating and the Pokémon they have currently chosen, with a checkmark if their choice has been locked in.

The Pokémon each player selected to battle with will be fully healed at the start of the battle, and if a Pokémon from the party was selected, it will be fully healed again at the end of the battle. If a Pokémon from the boxes was selected, then after the battle is over, its HP, PP, and status condition will revert to what they were before it was selected for battle.

===Battle===

====Timer====
The battle system differs from typical turn-based battles in that the battle is timed, with an orange timer bar visible below the boss's HP bar that ticks down from 5 to 7½ minutes and beyond depending on the raid (the event Mewtwo raid having the longest length to date at 15 minutes), and all participants are able to act at any point, regardless of whether the opponent Pokémon or allies are also performing an action at the same time. It is even possible for a Pokémon to execute multiple moves before an ally chooses to act at all.

When the timer reaches 10% time remaining, the message "''You can feel a tremendous energy gathering! There isn't much time left!''" will appear. If the timer expires before players defeat the Tera Pokémon, the energy burst will be unleashed, expelling all players from the raid, with the messages "''(Pokémon) released its gathered energy!''", followed by "''You and the others were blown out of the cavern!''"

====Turn system====
The raid boss essentially participates in four concurrent one-on-one battles against each of the team members, and for each turn any player takes, the boss will get one turn against that player, with their relative order within that turn decided by priority or speed as usual. During these turns, the boss may use any move from its base moveset, which is the moveset it will have if it is caught and thus contains up to four moves. Moves used by other players' Pokémon will appear as small speech bubbles next to their sprites in the top-left corner. A player will not see any messages for moves the raid boss uses against other players' Pokémon (except for additional moves described below), but if some of those moves affect its own stat stages (such as {{m|Calm Mind}} or {{m|Ancient Power}}), those stages will be in effect for all players, and can be seen by checking its status with the Y button. Likewise, moves that create weather or terrain conditions will create them for all four lanes, even if some players don't see the move being used; a particle effect will be visible in the center of the screen to indicate their presence. Field effects that last for a certain number of turns will have their turn count decrease only after all players have made a move. {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} will use their reduced doubles damage multiplier.

If the raid has been opened to other players (even if no others joined), then each time a player's menu comes up, that player must select an action within 60 seconds, or else the earliest selectable move in their moveset will automatically be used at that time.

====Targeting====

Players are allowed to target a teammate with their moves, but {{cat|moves that target all adjacent Pokémon}} (such as {{m|Earthquake}}) will only hit the raid boss. If the raid boss uses such a move, it will only hit the Pokémon whose lane it was used in, and will not receive a multiple-target damage penalty (except if it uses it during an extra action as described below).

====Knockouts====
If a non-boss Pokémon faints, it will be revived after five seconds initially, plus an additional five-second wait for each time it has previously fainted in the battle, up to a maximum of 30 seconds. Additionally, this also reduces the timer by a number of seconds equal to the fainted Pokémon's level. Pokémon used by NPCs do not reduce the timer when they faint.

====Terastallization====
Each time a player's Pokémon successfully uses a direct-damaging move, this player's [[Tera Orb]] will gain one charge. If a player's [[Tera Orb]] has three charges, this player can Terastallize their Pokémon on any turn. Each player may only Terastallize once per raid, even if their Terastallized Pokémon faints.

Only direct-damaging moves, targeting either the raid boss or an ally, will count towards the Tera Orb's charge. [[Status move]]s, [[#Cheers|cheering]], and moves that miss do not count. If a damaging move is used while the boss's shield is up and deals so little damage that the shield reduction causes the damage to be less than ½, it will round down to 0 damage and that attack will not charge the Tera Orb either.

Unlike [[Max Raid Battle]]s, where only a single player can [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon and the option to do so rotates between players until it's used, all four participants in a Tera Raid Battle are permitted to Terastallize their Pokémon separately.

The allied NPCs never Terastallize their Pokémon. However, if a player has disconnected and is currently being controlled by the AI, then it will Terastallize at the earliest possible opportunity if possible.

====Extra actions====
The boss may have extra actions which take place at predefined thresholds of health or time. These actions interrupt players' access to the menu. If the thresholds for two or more extra actions are met at the same moment (for instance, because of heavy damage), the boss will perform all of them in sequence, and it will not be possible to access the menu again until each of them have finished their animations. An extra action can happen between a player's command and the corresponding turn.

There are six types of extra action: additional move, shield, removal of negative effects, removal of positive effects, [[Tera Orb]] charge stealing, and the double-action phase where the boss can use a second move in a turn. Additional moves appear in 3★-and-above raids, while all the other actions appear in 4★-and-above raids. The double-action phase has only appeared in certain 7★ raids so far.

If an action's trigger is at 100% of time or HP remaining, it will thus trigger at the very start of the battle, before the players can take a turn. This often happens in 7★ raids and some of the 5★ event raids but also occurred in many of the 5★ and 6★ raids in [[Kitakami]] and the [[Terarium]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1628992932039602177</ref>

=====Additional move=====
The boss uses a move outside of standard turn order. This move can be outside of their base moveset; if it is the case, it will not know it if it is caught.
* For moves that target a single Pokémon, a random target will be chosen, and all players will be able to see the move messages and the attack animation aimed in the direction of the targeted Pokémon, even when it isn't their own.
* For moves that usually target multiple Pokémon, it will do so, and the multiple-target damage penalty will apply. This is the only way a move can ever hit multiple Pokémon during a Tera Raid Battle.
This additional move can be interrupted by paralysis, but not freeze. If the boss is frozen when it hits the threshold, then the attempt to use the move will be delayed until after it has thawed out.

=====Shield=====
The boss produces a shield which severely reduces the damage of attacks from non-Terastallized Pokémon, blocks the effects of [[status move]]s, and cures any non-volatile [[status condition]] it has upon activation. This action has two separate triggers, one based on a time threshold and one based on an HP threshold, but it can never be done more than once in a battle, even if the shield breaks before the alternative condition gets fulfilled.

The shield applies a multiplier to incoming damage. There are three multipliers depending on the situation of the attacking Pokémon:
* the attacking Pokémon is not Terastallized: ×0.2;
* the attacking Pokémon is Terastallized and the move's type '''does not match''' the user's Tera Type (including a non-{{type|Stellar}} move from a user with the Stellar Tera type): ×0.35;
* the attacking Pokémon is Terastallized and the move's type '''does match''' the user's Tera Type: ×0.75.

The previous multipliers' values are used for all 6★ and 5★ raids in Paldea,<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1610483831769018368</ref> which includes all non-event raids, but may be different for 7★ raids, going as far as being greater than 1 (thus increasing damage) or being very small (×0.01 for instance). 4★ raids in Paldea and Kitakami use ×0.4 multipliers and ×0.8 multipliers for the respective Terastallized scenarios. 5★ raids in Kitakami use ×0.3, ×0.6, and ×0.9 multipliers, while 6★ raids use ×0.3, ×0.55, and ×0.85 multipliers. 4★ raids in Blueberry Academy use ×0.4, ×0.5, and ×0.9 multipliers, while 5★ raids use the same multipliers as Paldea, and 6★ raids use ×0.4, ×0.6, and ×0.8 multipliers.

After the multiplier is applied, damage is rounded to the nearest whole number, with values of 0.5 and above rounding up.

After the boss's shield is broken, the boss will not move during each player's next turn. However, it may still use scripted moves if any are scheduled to take place at the time.

=====Removal of negative effects=====
The boss removes any non-volatile [[status condition]] it has and its negative [[stat modifier]]s. Its positive stat modifiers will remain as they are. All other effects such as {{m|Leech Seed}} or ability changes remain untouched.

=====Removal of positive effects=====
The boss removes the positive [[stat modifier]]s of its opponents, and only for the following turn, nullifies their [[Ability|Abilities]] as well. Negative stat modifiers will remain as they are. Pokémon that are knocked out or are holding an [[Ability Shield]] during the removal are not affected by the Ability nullification.

=====Tera Orb charge stealing=====
The boss removes one charge from each player's [[Tera Orb]]. Pokémon that have already Terastallized, that have not built up any charge, or that are knocked out are unaffected.

=====Double-action phase=====
After a predefined HP or time threshold, the boss has a set-percentage chance to use a randomly selected attack at the end of the turn, allowing it to use two moves in a single turn. The choice of the second attack seems to be fully random, so it can select attacks that the target is visibly immune to, unlike the typical AI.

====Additional commands====
The players cannot use items from their bags, but have additional commands exclusive to raids.

=====Running away=====
In a single-player raid, the host can choose to run away, ending the battle as a forfeit. If the raid has been opened to other players (even if no others joined), running is not possible, and will give the message ''"It's no good! You can't find an opening to run away from such a strong opponent!"''.

=====Cheers=====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Mechanics behind Go all out! and Hang tough! cheers are still not entirely understood, see [https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811 this twitter thread] <br>Missing chart for different probabilities Heal up! to restore different amounts of HP, see [https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1770995804129366511 this twitter thread].}}
Players can opt to cheer instead of executing a move, up to three times per Tera Raid per player. Cheering has increased [[priority]] over moves. The player cheers using their fist when activating any of the cheers. The three cheer options are:
* '''Go all out!''': multiplies the user's and their allies' Attack and Sp. Atk by ×1.5. The aura is red.
* '''Hang tough!''': multiplies the user's and their allies' Defense and Sp. Def by ×1.5<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1772885083696791811</ref> The aura is blue.
* '''Heal up!''': removes non-volatile [[status condition]]s and {{status|confusion}} from the user and their allies, and restores 20% to 100% of their total HP randomly<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1770995804129366511</ref> The aura is green.
** The amount of HP restored is the same for all participants affected by the same cheer, rather than differing amounts per participant.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1771005827702296934</ref>

[[Stat]]-boosting effects from cheers are independent from other [[stat modifier]]s, which means that their effects stack multiplicatively. Stat-boosting cheers last for three turns for each Pokémon, even if the Tera Raid Pokémon nullifies stat changes. If an ally faints and returns to battle within those turns, [[List of glitches in Generation IX#Permanent cheer preservation on fainting|the stat boost from the cheer will be made permanent for the rest of the battle]], and this permanent boost can stack with a regular cheer afterwards, which can also be made permanent and repeated if fainted again.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20221229032818/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1607557138271936513 Anubis on Twitter: "The more I look into Tera Raid cheer mechanics, the more confused I am..."]</ref>

If there is at least one NPC Trainer in a Tera Raid Battle, the first one (based on the display order in the top-left corner) will always cheer "Hang tough!" on the first turn. NPCs will not perform any other cheers during the raid.

=====Callouts=====
The player can press the Minus button to choose between four Callouts: "Help!", "Everyone, attack together!", "Thanks!", and "I've got this!". They have no practical effect outside of communicating with other players. The Callouts are displayed to other players in a bubble just like how the player's Pokémon moves are displayed to them. After using any three Callouts within a turn, they will be unusable until the next turn.

====Additional info====
* The raid boss has infinite [[PP]] on all of its moves.
* Pokémon found in 3★-or-above Tera Raid Battles may have their [[Hidden Ability]].
** {{p|Ditto}} Tera Raid Battles are an exception, and always have their Hidden Ability.

====Battle Limitations====
{{incomplete|section|needs=What are the effects of moves such as Endeavor, Pain Split, Eruption, etc. when used in a Tera Raid Battle?}}
There are a variety of moves, abilities, and items that either operate with limited effects or are completely negated. Some limits apply to all combatants while others only apply to only players or the raid boss.

=====All combatants=====
======Item relocating======
Moves and Abilities that involve the transfer of items fail to have effect. Any other effects or damage operate as normal. Examples include:

* Moves: {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}
* Abilities: {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}}, {{a|Sticky Hold}}

Items that transfer themselves (such as [[Sticky Barb]]) operate as normal.

======Instant-KOs======
* Moves that knock out the user, such as {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Misty Explosion}}, or {{m|Final Gambit}}, will fail and not knock out the user.
* Moves that can cause an instant KO on any target will fail: {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}.
** If a [[one-hit knockout move]] lands on the raid boss, it takes no damage from it. However, they work normally against any players' Pokémon.

======Damage based on target's HP======
Moves, Abilities, status conditions, and items that deal cause damage, or healing, based on the target's HP calculate relative to the raid boss' base max HP rather than its boosted current HP, resulting in very low values, but otherwise operate as normal. Examples include:

* Moves: {{m|Ruination}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Endeavor}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Heal Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}}
** Relatedly, moves the raid boss uses that get weaker/stronger based on its remaining HP are functionally locked to their "full HP" power for the entire raid, for better or worse, as its current HP is almost always at or above its max HP. Examples include {{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Water Spout}}, {{m|Flail}}
* Abilities: {{a|Aftermath}}, {{a|Bad Dreams}}, {{m|Gulp Missile}}, {{m|Rough Skin}}, {{a|Iron Barbs}}
* Items: [[Rocky Helmet]], [[Sticky Barb]], [[Sitrus Berry]]
* Status: {{status|Poison}}, {{status|burn}}, {{m|Curse}}, [[seeding]]
** A raid boss inflicted with bad poison is treated as standard poison.

======Moves and Abilities that interact differently with Tera forms======
Some moves and abilities operate normally but may be misunderstood how they interact with Terastallized Pokémon. For example, a Terastallized Pokémon cannot have its type changed by any means, even if a prompt claims it did. Because a raid boss is always Terastallized, and while an allied Pokémon is Terastallized, some moves' or their additional effects fail to operate as normal against/by that target.

* Moves that cause type changes fail to change a Terastallized Pokémon's type(s) but otherwise operate normally: {{m|Soak}}, {{m|Reflect Type}}, {{m|Roost}}, {{m|Burn Up}}, {{m|Double Shock}}
* Moves with effects impacted by a Terastallized Pokémon:
** {{m|Tar Shot}} (fails to add Fire weakness when used against a currently-Terastallized target)
** {{m|Judgment}} (Judgment's type is determined by the user's held [[Plate]]/lack of Plate, not the user's type. If an Arceus holds any plate other than a [[Blank Plate]] and its Tera Type does not match it and it is not the {{t|Stellar}} type, Judgment will not receive {{STAB}} while it is Terastallized.)
* Abilities relating to type changes are prevented/overridden by a Tera Type: {{a|Protean}}, {{a|Libero}}, {{a|Forecast}}

======Moves======
* The following moves will fail: {{m|Guard Split}}, {{m|Power Split}}, {{m|Pain Split}}.
* Moves that force either the target or user to retreat from the battle or switch out will fail to do so, but otherwise operate normally. Examples include: {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}.
* Moves that alter the field, such as {{m|Trick Room}}, {{m|Magic Room}}, [[weather]], [[terrain]], and [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] affect all combatants/the full targeted side.
* {{m|Sketch}} operates like {{m|Mimic}}, reverting back to Sketch after the raid.
* Damaging moves that target multiple Pokémon only affect the opponent in the targeted lane. Examples include: {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Growl}}.
** This limit does not apply to those moves when called as a raid boss' extra actions and will hit the full party as normal at that time.

======Abilities======
* Negated Abilities: (none identified)

Some abilities are not directly negated, but may be hindered or be unable to operate due to relying on something that is limited or not applicable in Tera Raid Battles.

* Hindered effect:
** {{a|Damp}} only affects the ability Aftermath, as self-destructive moves are blocked.
* Unusable effect:
** Any ability that requires/causes switching out or ending a battle, including: {{a|Zero to Hero}}, {{a|Natural Cure}}, {{a|Wimp Out}}, {{a|Emergency Exit}}, {{a|Run Away}}, {{a|Pickup}}

======Items======
* The following items have effects that fail in Tera Raids: [[Red Card]], [[Eject Button]]

=====Player-specific=====
======Moves======
* Moves with beneficial full-team effects apply to all players. Examples include: {{m|Life Dew}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Aurora Veil}}, and {{m|Safeguard}}.
* The following moves when used against the raid boss will fail without effect: {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Torment}}.
* {{m|Fake Out}} and other [[flinch]]-inflicting moves fail to cause a raid boss to flinch, but otherwise operate normally.
* {{m|Knock Off}} used against an ally fails to remove the target's held item. Otherwise operates normally.<sup>(verification needed, there are claims of operating differently in certain raids)</sup>
* {{m|Last Respects}} fails to increase in base damage based on number of party KOs, including itself.

======Abilities======
* Abilities that redirect moves from an ally fail to redirect but any additional effects, whether beneficial or not, operate as normal. Examples include: {{a|Storm Drain}}, {{a|Lightning Rod}}.
* Abilities that cause a raid boss to flinch fail to do so, such as {{a|Stench}}.

======Items======
* [[King's Rock]] fails to cause a raid boss to flinch.

=====Raid Boss-specific=====
======Moves======
* (none identified)

======Abilities======
* If the Raid Boss has {{a|Imposter}}, it will always transform into the raid host's Pokémon.
* A Raid Boss's {{a|Inner Focus}} and {{a|Steadfast}} cannot activate due to flinching (as it cannot flinch).

===Capture===
Defeating the Tera Pokémon within the time limit will cause the Pokémon to cease being Terastallized, at which point the player is given the chance to select a [[Poké Ball]] from their bag to catch the Pokémon. This capture cannot fail, regardless of the type of ball used, or whether the player is the host or participant of the battle.

===Difficulty===
{{incomplete|section|needs=The list of events with a non-typical HP multiplier is incomplete.}}
Tera Raid Pokémon have their [[HP]] increased for the duration of the battle, as well as having one or more of their [[IV]]s guaranteed to be set to 31, except for 3★ Pachirisu, which is not set to have any guaranteed IVs. Additionally, 6★-raid Pokémon are temporarily set to level 90 for the duration of the battle, but are reduced to level 75 when captured.

===Encounters===
The Pokémon available to fight in a Tera Raid Battle changes with the star value of the raid, as well as which version of the game the player is playing. The raid boss's Tera Type is chosen independently of the Pokémon itself, and has no influence over which Pokémon the raid boss will be.

===NPC Trainers===
If there are less than four players in a Tera Raid Battle, NPC Trainers will fill in. The Pokémon used by these Trainers get stronger as the player unlocks more difficult Tera Raids.

All Pokémon listed below have the following properties:
* [[Nature]]: Hardy
* {{EV}}s: 252 {{stat|HP}}, 128 {{stat|Defense}}, 128 {{stat|Sp. Defense}}
* {{IV}}s: 10 for {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Sp. Attack}}, 31 for all other stats

The NPC Trainers always use one Hang tough! cheer on the first turn, and no other cheers afterwards. They also do not Terastallize their Pokémon, nor reduce the timer when they faint.

If the player enters a raid with one empty spot, or challenges a raid alone, the following message will appear.

''Oh! Help has arrived-now you've got a full''<br>
''party to raid with!''

When a raid is started with the "Challenge alone" option and a raid opened to other players has '''not''' been played in the current session since starting the game (even when hosted via "Challenge as a group" and played alone), the selection of NPC trainers is chosen from a RNG seed from 0-100, meaning there are 101 possible NPC parties that can be used with this method.<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c27PbFXKr9NACNr-s3fFvENg4nryc-eVddlv4RnI2FQ/pubhtml</ref>

Raids that are started with "Challenge as a group" (even when played alone) use a 64-bit RNG seed and allow for every combination of NPCs to be generated. After a group raid is played in the current session, any raids started with "Challenge alone" will always use the same NPC selection as the last group raid played instead of following the above behavior, allowing one to lock in a favorable group of NPCs to make use of, though further group raids will still reroll for a new team. This effect will be retained until the game is restarted.

The NPC Pokémon will have a level equal to 80% of the level of the host's Pokémon, rounded down (but not to less than 1). If the host's Pokémon is at level 1, the NPC Pokémon will be at level 80.

====1★====
NPC Trainers use the following Pokémon after 1★ Tera Raids are unlocked. Their level of 16 assumes that the host is bringing a level 20 Pokémon.

===Penalty===
If the player drops out of three Online Tera Raid Battles (by closing the game), they will be unable to access the game's online service for 30 minutes. This can also occur if the game [[Game freeze|crashed]].

==In animation==
===Pokémon: Discover Paldea===
In ''{{DL|Pokémon: Discover Paldea|Tera Raid Team-Up}}'', a group of four {{tc|student}}s took on an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} with the {{t|Dragon}} {{Tera|Tera Type}} in a Tera Raid Battle and defeated it.

==Trivia==
* All NPC Trainers' [[gender]]ed Pokémon are male, except Austin's {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Arcanine}}.
* Each one of the 18 NPC Trainers is associated with one of the 18 [[type]]s.
* Dylan's Japanese, Italian, and Korean names are the same as of {{DL|Type Expert Tournament/Dragon|Drakon}}, another {{type|Dragon}} expert and contender to the [[Type Expert Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}.
* Although this battle format has not yet officially appeared in {{aniseries|HZ}}, in [[HZ129]], [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] battled against a {{Tera}}stallized [[Black Rayquaza]] in a format similar to a Raid Battle, with Roy using {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, and {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}}, and Ult using {{TP|Ult|Sableye}} and {{TP|Ult|Dragonite}}.

Unova Route 10

2026-05-18T02:26:09Z

Keegster2: /* Route description */ Added the detail of when exactly the battle with Cheren happens; you can't just fight him the moment you can access the route.

'''Route 10''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１０番道路|１０ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 10'') is a route in northern Unova, connecting [[Opelucid City]] to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}. Here, the {{player}} {{pkmn|battle}}s [[Cheren]] once more. It is the final route before Victory Road and contains the Badge Check Gates. Each area between the gates represents the type that the Gym used.

In the two years before {{B2W2}}, a landslide occurred on the old Victory Road. As a precaution, the entrance to this route from Opelucid City was sealed off, effectively removing this route from the game. As a result, a {{rt|23|Unova|new path}} to a new {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} exists, where the Badge Check Gates have been relocated.

==Route description==
Route 10 leads briefly north before turning east. There is a sign and tall grass north of this bend. The path continues eastwards up some stairs and then along a bridge. Due the height of this bridge above the water, {{player}}s may not {{m|Surf}} from it. As the player crosses the bridge after obtaining the [[Badge#Legend Badge|Legend Badge]] from [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Iris]]{{sup/5|W}}, [[Cheren]] will approach the player from the west and challenge them to a battle, wanting to prepare them for battling against [[N]].

After crossing the bridge, there is a narrow patch of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}} alongside a cliff. It leads north, then west before widening slightly and heading north, then west again. A bridge south of the dark grass which also cannot be surfed from leads to a male {{tc|Veteran}} who will give the player a [[Dusk Stone]]. By heading east past the Veteran and south over a ledge, the player returns to the main path.

The route continues east past the bridge where the player fought Cheren between a cliff to the north and tall grass in the south before arriving at the Badge Check Gates. These lead to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} and ultimately the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Each area between the gates represents the type of the Gym each [[Badge]] for that specific Badge Check Gate was obtained from.

==Places of interest==
===Badge Check Gates===
The Badge Check Gates are located in the northeast of this route. These gates lead to {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}. Each gate has something to do with the type specialized in by that Badge's Gym, which can be accessed after obtaining the corresponding Badge.

Different tracks are added to the background theme one by one as the player progresses through the Badge Check Gates, resulting in the complete Victory Road theme once the player arrives there.

====Desolate Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Desolate Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Desolate Gate]]
This Gate has nothing in it except a {{tc|Veteran}} to check for the Trio Badge.

It starts the music with a wind track.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! Unqualified ones shall not pass!"''
:''"The key to open this closed gate is the Trio Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Trio Badge! Challenge all that you face!"''

====Trio Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Trio Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Trio Badge Gate]]
The Trio Badge Gate is composed of features that represent the three types used by [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]. Respectively, they are: shrubs, small trees, flowers, and grass; two burning torches on the north side of the stream; a small stream which cannot be {{m|surf}}ed on or [[fishing|fished]] in flowing through the center of the area, with a bridge crossing it. There are also two restaurant tables on the south side of the river.

It adds a drum track to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Basic Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Basic Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Basic Badge! Show the knowledge you've obtained!"''

====Basic Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Basic Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Basic Badge Gate]]
The Basic Badge Gate is a garden with hedges and [[tall grass]]: both normal tall grass and {{DL|tall grass|dark grass}}. This is the only gate where [[wild Pokémon]] can be encountered; these Pokémon are the same as those found in the rest of Route 10. There are three poles connected via red velvet rope, similar to what is seen in museums. There are pieces of what appear to be ancient stone ruins.

It adds a {{wp|timpani}} track to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Insect Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Insect Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Insect Badge! Fight valiantly like an insect!"''

====Insect Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Insect Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Insect Badge Gate]]
The Insect Badge Gate holds a large metal bug sculpture in the center of the area. A path goes over the bug, leading to the other end of the gate.

It adds a {{wp|tuba}} track to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Bolt Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Bolt Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Bolt Badge! Unfurl a shocking battle!"''

====Bolt Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Bolt Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Bolt Badge Gate]]
The Bolt Badge Gate has a metal bridge with three glass tubes containing blue electricity on each side, connected underneath the bridge with electric blue wiring. This is the only gate with an NPC besides the gate guard; an NPC with the sprite of an {{tc|Ace Trainer}} stands here.

It adds a low {{wp|Bowed string instrument|string}} track to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Quake Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Quake Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Quake Badge! Make your foes' hearts tremble!"''

====Quake Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Quake Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Quake Badge Gate]]
The Quake Badge Gate's path is surrounded by gem-encrusted walls of earth, making the path vary from wide to narrow.

It adds a high string and {{wp|pizzicato}} tunes to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Jet Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Jet Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Jet Badge! Blast ahead with tremendous force!"''

====Jet Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Jet Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Jet Badge Gate]]
The Jet Badge Gate has a large seemingly bottomless crevasse with a strong, constant gust coming out of it, blowing leaves out with it. The player can cross the crevasse by simply walking across, floating due to the gust. The player cannot run while being lifted.

It adds a {{wp|Horn (instrument)|horn}} track to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Freeze Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Freeze Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Freeze Badge! Show the sharp edge of an icicle!"''

====Freeze Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Freeze Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Freeze Badge Gate]]
The Freeze Badge Gate has a mass of [[Ice tile#Slippery ice tile|slippery ice]], with icy pillars used as a part of a sliding puzzle. This is the only gate which involves a puzzle.

It adds a {{wp|Tubular bell|bell}} to the background music.

At the end of the area, a Veteran checks for the Legend Badge.

=====Quotes=====
:''"Halt! The key to open this gate is the Legend Badge!"''
:''"Oh, holder of the Legend Badge! Pass through Victory Road, which lies beyond here, and head for the Pokémon League!"''
:''"Prove that you, too, can be a legend!"''

====Legend Badge Gate====
[[File:Unova Route 10 Legend Badge Gate BW.png|thumb|200px|Legend Badge Gate]]
The Legend Badge Gate features two stone dragon heads, each with a single clawed hand, protruding from the cliff face.

It adds a {{wp|trombone}} to the background music.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Unova Route 10 Adventures.png|thumb|210px|Route 10 in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Badge Check Gates Adventures.png|thumb|210px|The Badge Check Gates in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Route 10 first appeared in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', where the Trainers who had earned eight [[Badge]]s went through the Badge Check Gates a day before the first part of the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament would begin at {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}. {{adv|Black}}, who had failed to earn his eighth Badge yet, and was also depressed about his [[Musha|Munna]] leaving him, was ready to give up, but seeing his [[Party|team]], which shared his passionate dream of beating the {{pkmn|Champion}}, he regained his passion and sought out [[Drayden]] at the Badge Check Gates. Since the deadline for earning eight Badges would technically only close when the League tournament itself began, Black demanded to battle Drayden for his Badge, which he accepted.

In ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'', Black and Drayden had their battle in a corridor reserved for the event staff. Due to Drayden's {{p|Druddigon}} being used to moving around in narrow caves, it had the advantage over [[Brav|Black's Braviary]] in the similarly narrow corridor. When Braviary was on the brink of defeat, Black once again considered giving up. Unexpectedly, [[Elite Four]] member [[Caitlin]] suddenly burst in and had her {{p|Gothitelle}} mentally connect Black with the [[Gym Leader]]s that had been captured by [[Team Plasma]]. Thanks to their words of encouragement, Black regained his motivation and had Braviary use {{m|Air Slash}} on a door leading outside, blasting it open and letting in a gust of cold air that weakened Druddigon enough for Braviary to defeat it. As agreed, Drayden rewarded Black of his victory with the {{badge|Legend}}, allowing him to compete in the Pokémon League tournament.

In ''[[PS517|Something Suspicious]]'', [[Marlon]] revealed to {{adv|White}} that the [[Colress|Hood Man]] wasn't carrying the scent of the river flowing through the Trio Badge Gate, confirming that he had sneaked into the competition without the required eight Badges.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Route 10 is the only place where one of the two rivers of [[Unova]] is crossed and is not labeled as a bridge.
* Although Route 10 no longer exists in Black 2 and White 2's story:
** If the {{player}} uses a [[cheating]] device to access this route by passing through the construction site, it only leads to a bunch of trees, and the background music for {{rt|6|Unova}} plays.
** Its location [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Black_2_and_White_2#Leftovers exists as leftover data] in Black 2/White 2's files, as both games run on the same engine as their predecessors for compatibility reasons. Because of this, both games can be reverse-engineered to effectively restore Route 10 (as shown in these [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNVAVN2lqqs two] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7eCeE9sHb0 examples]), although data limitations prevent a perfect restoration, as most of Route's 10 original data was removed during Black 2/White 2's development.
* Route 10's background music was remixed for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]. It can be heard in Wii U version on the {{OBP|Kalos Pokémon League|stage}}. The remix returns in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and can play on any stage from the Pokémon series.
* Unlike the {{si|Pokémon League}} in [[Generation IV]], the Badge Check Gates on this route will check every Badge the player has obtained.
** If the {{player}} attempts to access the gates via [[cheating]] without obtaining any Badges, the guard will not let them through the gates for the Badges they've not obtained yet, even though the route requires seven Badges to be legitimately be accessed. Thus, it is possible to have a guard refuse the player's entry at a gate before the {{badge|Legend}} Gate.

{{bulbanews|game}}
'''Pokédex 3D''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|立体図鑑|りったいずかん}}ＢＷ''' ''Pokémon 3D Picture Book BW'') is a free [[Nintendo 3DS]] app that was available on the eShop. The app is a [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]], featuring 153 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{game|Black and White|s}}.

On July 14, 2012, an upgraded version of Pokédex 3D was released in Japan known as [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]. This app features all of the Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] as well as the new {{p|Kyurem}} and {{p|Keldeo}} forms. The original Pokédex 3D app was removed from the eShop in Japan on June 17, 2012, but players who had previously downloaded the game retained it. Pokédex 3D Pro was released in European languages on November 8, 2012, with the original Pokédex 3D going offline on October 1, 2012.

==Blurb==
This is an electronic Pokédex that's full of information about Pokémon! It also lets you hear their cries, see their movements, and look up all sorts of data about your favorite Pokémon. You can even use the AR Viewer so you can interact with the Pokémon! You'll first need to fill up your Pokédex. You can do this by sharing Pokémon data with your friends or receiving Pokémon data using SpotPass.

==Features==
*The Pokédex allows players to view 3D renderings of each Pokémon, and rotate them 360 degrees in any direction. These renderings can be used with the 3DS's built-in camera and Augmented Reality to place Pokémon in real world environments. Each Pokémon model also has a corresponding animation.
*Each Pokémon (and form) has its own individual Augmented Reality (AR) card, a grid of black and white blocks, which becomes an image of a {{i|Poké Ball}} and the Pokémon model in the Augmented Reality.
*The Pokédex has an advanced search feature, and players can add Pokémon to a favorites list.
*Basic Pokédex functions are also available, including Pokémon stats, height, weight, and [[Evolution]] data; as well as viewing [[Egg Group]]s and Black and White [[move]]sets, features not seen in-game since [[Earl Dervish]]'s [[Pokémon Academy]] in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*[[Move]]s are also listed, their information and stats, and the Unova Pokémon that learn them, can be viewed, except for the seven secret moves—{{m|V-create}}, {{m|Freeze Shock}}, {{m|Ice Burn}}, {{m|Snarl}}, {{m|Secret Sword}}, {{m|Relic Song}}, and {{m|Techno Blast}}. Other moves are present even if no Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex can learn them (such as {{m|Roar of Time}}, legitimately only known by {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Arceus}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}).

==AR Viewer==
{{wp|Augmented reality|AR}} codes are a type of 2-dimensional barcode, similar to {{wp|QR code}}s, that certain 3DS software recognizes through the console’s cameras and translates into full 3D models of characters and objects, displayed as if they were present in the real world, on top or in front of the AR card. After unlocking their data in the main Pokédex mode, players may use Pokédex 3D's AR Viewer function to activate the camera and take photographs of favorite Pokémon, which can be shared with the use of an SD Card. The player can toss an apple at a Pokémon to initiate its animation, and, after unlocking additional features by collecting [[#Stickers|Stickers]], can toss a musical note at it to hear its cry, or use the stopwatch to freeze it during its animation. 12 Random Markers and 12 Copying Markers are also available to use with special functions.

==Stickers==
There are two types of stickers, AR and Photo. An AR Sticker is obtained when a Pokémon's code is scanned for the first time after obtaining it (scanning a code before the Pokémon's data is unlocked will only display its silhouette and place a temporary sticker of its AR Marker in the photo album, which does not add to the Sticker count); a Photo Sticker is obtained the first time a picture is taken with the Pokémon in it. Collecting Stickers unlocks additional features:
*Once 30 stickers are collected, musical notes can be used while taking pictures.
*50 stickers allow the player to set images as a background. Backgrounds can be chosen from among all pictures on the SD card.
*70 stickers allow 9 Pokémon to be viewed with the AR viewer at once.
*100 stickers allow the player to adjust the size of the models shown through the AR viewer.
*150 stickers activate the stopwatch button.
*200 stickers allow 10 Pokémon to be viewed with the AR viewer at once.
*250 stickers allow 11 Pokémon to be viewed with the AR viewer at once.
*328 stickers allow 12 Pokémon to be viewed with the AR viewer at once.

As of October 3, 2011, all of the above upgrades except the ones allowing more Pokémon to be displayed at once are unlocked automatically when the application is updated.

==Obtaining Pokémon==
164 entries are programmed into the game (153 Unova Pokémon, some with multiple forms). {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are not present in the game data.

Initially, players are able to view the data of 16 different Pokémon; more can be unlocked through three different methods: three random Pokémon per day via SpotPass; trading data with others; and in some cases scanning [[AR Marker]]s, often distributed online and at events. In August 2012 the app was updated, and all Pokémon could be obtained solely through SpotPass until its discontinuation on April 8, 2024.

===Starting Pokémon===
All players will start with these Pokémon.

===SpotPass===
Using the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s SpotPass feature, it is possible to receive Pokémon entries while the 3DS is in sleep mode or while playing certain games, as long as there is access to the Internet (i.e., in a 3DS-compatible {{wp|Wi-Fi hotspot}}, or within range of a configured {{wp|WLAN}}). Pokémon are distributed at random, three per day to each player accessing SpotPass. After obtaining a Pokémon via SpotPass, players can view the Pokémon through the AR Viewer.

However, downloading a Pokémon from SpotPass does not enable the animation 'Pause' button on its main entry. Originally, only by trading or obtaining through scanning would this button become available on an entry. However, as of October 3, 2011, all Pokémon are updated with the 'Pause' button when the app is updated, though Pokémon downloaded after the update require the update to be run again.

===Trading===
Players may add obtained data to each other's Pokédexes by sending and receiving through the 3DS's local wireless capability. Data is only copied from one system to another; trading Pokémon data does not cause it to disappear from the original system.

Prior to the August 2012 update, while 151 entries could be unlocked via other methods, two evolutionary lines of the [[elemental monkeys]], one gender of {{p|Unfezant}}, three seasons of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}}, and one gender of {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Jellicent}} needed to be obtained via trading, as only one of each could be obtained from SpotPass.

===AR Markers===
Prior to the August 2012 update, several Pokémon could only be obtained by scanning their [[AR Marker]]s. The following Pokémon will be added to the Pokédex when their AR Markers are scanned:

==Updates==
* October 2011: all functions which required stickers to unlock, except allowing more Pokémon to be viewed in the AR Viewer at a time, are now automatically unlocked. These include features such as music notes in the AR Viewer. Additionally, the Pause button is added to every unlocked Pokémon in the Pokédex, allowing pausing on all animations, instead of just those unlocked via AR Markers or trading. Any Pokémon unlocked after updating will require updating again to gain the Pause button.

* August 2012: the entire Pokédex can now be filled solely via SpotPass, including the alternate forms of Deerling, Sawsbuck, Frillish, Jellicent, Unfezant, and the three elemental monkeys with their Evolutions. This allows the Pokédex to be completed without trading with another player's Pokédex 3D. It also includes the Pokémon that needed to be scanned via AR Viewer like Reshiram and Zekrom.

==Trivia==
* Although it is simulated as swimming, {{p|Tympole}} does not display the bubbles effect that all other Pokémon simulated in an aquatic environment, such as {{p|Eelektrik}} and {{p|Stunfisk}} display. The reason for this is unknown.
* This is the first Pokémon game to be exclusively released for Nintendo 3DS systems, albeit only in digital form.

Fling (move)

2026-05-12T04:28:01Z

Keegster2: /* Effect */ While this sentence probably doesn't need to be here, if it's going to stay it, needs to be drastically improved (seriously, "pokemon"? And when did the Elite Four operate by Link Battle rules?).

'''Fling''' (Japanese: '''なげつける''' ''Fling'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is:
* [[TM56]] from Generation IV to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.
* [[TM59]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM043]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==Effect==
Fling inflicts damage; the power of the move is determined by the user's [[held item]].

Fling fails if the user has no held item, or if its held item is a [[TM]], an [[Apricorn]], a [[Gem]], any type of [[Poké Ball]], [[Mail]], a [[Z-Crystal]], an [[Ability Capsule]], an [[Ability Patch]], a [[Festival Ticket]], the [[Red Orb]], the [[Blue Orb]], the [[Rusted Sword]], or the [[Rusted Shield]]. Fling also fails if used by a {{p|Giratina}} holding the [[Griseous Orb]], an {{p|Arceus}} holding a [[plate]], a {{p|Genesect}} holding a [[drive]], a {{p|Silvally}} holding a [[memory]], a Pokémon holding a [[Mega Stone]] that allows it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Protosynthesis}} or {{a|Quark Drive}} holding [[Booster Energy]], or an {{p|Ogerpon}} holding the [[Cornerstone Mask]], the [[Wellspring Mask]], or the [[Hearthflame Mask]].

After using Fling, the item is consumed, even if the target was protected by a {{cat|protection moves|protection move}}. As with any other method of consuming held items, the item is restored after battle if Fling is used in a [[battle facility]] or link battle. In [[Generation IX]], all non-[[Berry]] items are restored after any other type of battle as well.

The power of Fling based on the held item is detailed in the following table.

If the user holds a [[TR]], Fling's power is equal to the power of the move the TR contains, unless the move does not list a specific power (i.e. it is a [[status move]] or has {{cat|Moves that have variable power|variable power}} with no default power), in which case it has 10 power. Due to this, {{TR|71|Leaf Storm}} and {{TR|43|Overheat}} match the Iron Ball and Big Nugget in producing the maximum possible Fling power of 130.

If the user's held item can boost the power of moves (such as the [[Black Glasses]] or [[Life Orb]]), the power of Fling is boosted by the held item accordingly (if applicable). Because the user is no longer holding the item after using the move, the Life Orb does not reduce the user's HP when it boosts the power of Fling.

If a Pokémon holding a Berry uses Fling, that Berry will activate for the target (even if its usual trigger condition is not satisfied). Additionally, some other items have special effects when a Pokémon holding them uses Fling:

{{m|Embargo}}, {{a|Klutz}} (from [[Generation V]] onward), and {{m|Magic Room}} all prevent the usage of Fling. In [[Generation IV]] only, if the target of Fling is under the effect of Embargo and the user was holding an item with a special effect, the item's effect will not activate. If a Pokémon with {{a|Cud Chew}} is hit by Fling using a Berry, the Berry will reactivate at the end of the next turn.

Fling can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Celebrate}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Happy Hour}}, or {{m|Wish}} was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, Fling is a [[status move]] that sends the enemy in front flying across the room. If there is another enemy Pokémon in range, the target will collide, causing both Pokémon to take 10 HP damage. Despite being classified as a status move, it is only affected by {{m|Taunt}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] onward, using Fling opens the inventory and allows the leader to choose an item to fling (excluding held items). It only works when an enemy is within a fan-shaped area up to 10 tiles in front; in hallways, the range is 2 tiles, or 5 starting in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}. Like [[Gravelerock]]s, the thrown item will be flung in an arc, but the move cannot target Pokémon through walls, even when throwing rock items. Fling also ignores allies and is not affected by the Power-Pitching and Slip-Through [[Team Skill]]s. Other Pokémon that use this move will fling their held item. The move is unaffected by {{a|Prankster}}.

In Gates to Infinity, Fling will wake up sleeping-spawned Pokémon even if the move fails due to an obstruction.

==Trivia==
* Fling is one of two moves with a 100% chance of causing [[flinch]]ing (if holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]]), the other being {{m|Fake Out}}.
* Fling is the only {{type|Dark}} move able to cause {{status|paralysis}} (if holding a [[Light Ball]]), a {{status|burn}} (if holding a [[Flame Orb]]), or {{status|poison}}ing (if holding a [[Poison Barb]] or [[Toxic Orb]]).
* In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Fling can also be used to throw the remains of attacks, such as when [[Bianca's Emboar]] flung the remains of [[Trip]]'s {{p|Conkeldurr}}'s {{m|Stone Edge}} at it. It can also be used to throw the opponent.

Black out

2026-05-11T20:38:56Z

Keegster2: /* Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness */ Though "Trainer" wasn't considered a proper noun at the time of the Orre games (at least, I think), the manual of style dictates the term always be capitalized, regardless of when the media discussed was released (barring direct quotes from official media).

{{samename|TCG theme deck|Blackout (TCG)}} ''For the glitch screen, see [[Glitch screen#Blackout|Glitch screen → Blackout]]''
[[File:Overwhelmed by your defeat SV.png|300px|thumb|Being overwhelmed by defeat in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
The player will '''black out''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|目の前が真っ暗になる|めのまえがまっくらになる}}}}''' ''lose hope'', lit. ''plunge into darkness'') when all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the player's team [[Fainting|faint]]. This is comparable to a {{wp|game over}} screen for the [[Pokémon games]]. It generally occurs in {{pkmn|battle}} but it can also occur in the overworld due to the effects of {{status|poison}} prior to [[Generation IV]]. Starting in [[Generation IX]], the player can also black out by [[Escape|running]] from an in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle.

In English versions of the [[Generation]] {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} games, and Japanese versions of the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player will instead '''white out''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|目の前が真っ白になる|めのまえがまっしろになる}}}}''' ''plunge into white''). In English versions starting in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player will instead be '''overwhelmed by their defeat'''. Both of these are identical in function to blacking out.

==In the core series games==
In the [[core series]] games, when all of the Pokémon in the party are [[fainting|fainted]], the player will lose a sum of {{pkmn|Dollar|money}}. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, money will be given to the winner, while in battles with [[wild Pokémon]], money will be dropped in panic.

Before [[Generation IV]], half of the player's money on hand was lost and this loss was not explicitly stated to the player. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and Generation IV onward, however, the money lost depends on the level of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the number of [[Badge]]s earned. In these games, the player receives a message about how much was lost, unless no money was lost at all (because the player had {{PDollar}}0 before blacking out). Prior to Generation VI, the Pokémon will not be given the opportunity to evolve if player blacks out. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player will not lose any money in a wild battle.

Furthermore, the player will rush back to the last visited [[Pokémon Center]] to restore their Pokémon's health. This will not occur in special occasions such as the player's initial battle as a Trainer in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game|Black and White|s|Black, White}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, White 2}}, or in {{pkmn|battle|Link Battles}} and [[Battle facility|battle facilities]]. In FireRed, LeafGreen, and from Generation IV onwards, a small cutscene plays featuring a description of the player's rush back to the Pokémon Center and protecting the [[party]] from harm. If the last place healed was the player's house, a slightly different description is shown. If the player blacks out during a [[Sky Battle]] but still has usable Pokémon in their party which were ineligible for the battle, they will not be returned to a Pokémon Center.

If a [[Pokémon Center]] has not been used at all before the party has fainted, the player's [[mother]] will revive the party and remark about stocking up on [[Potion]]s.

{{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Pokémon Storage System healthy party deposit|A glitch}} in [[Generation I]] causes a black out to occur in the overworld without {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon by storing all party Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] except for the ones that have [[Fainting|fainted]].

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the player blacks out after taking the [[Mystery Egg]] from [[Mr. Pokémon]] but before visiting any Pokémon Center, they will be returned to [[Cherrygrove City]]'s Pokémon Center. This prevents the player from skipping the first battle with {{ga|Silver|their rival}} by blacking out and returning directly to the player's house. Blacking out during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] ends the contest rather than returning the player to a Pokémon Center.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, it is not possible to black out inside of a [[Secret Base]]. When losing to an NPC trainer, the player will be healed on the spot. Additionally, the game's code specifically contains an exclusion to prevent [[Poison (status condition)|poisoned]] Pokémon from losing HP when the player is walking inside a Secret Base, so cannot faint through this manner.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, losing a battle does not cause the player to black out. If a battle is lost against a wild Pokémon, they can continue their adventure defenseless; if a Trainer battle is lost, they are offered a chance to retry it. Instead, the player can black out on sustaining enough damage themselves from wild Pokémon attacks, hazards from the environment, or falling from a high place. Upon blacking out (the message "Everything went black!"), they will be returned to the last visited camp, having lost some items from their [[bag|satchel]]. If the player loses a battle against a frenzied [[Noble Pokémon]] or any other boss, such as {{p|Arceus}}, the penalty of losing items does not apply; they can choose to restart the battle, continue, or accept defeat.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the regular conditions and effects of blacking out are reinstated, with one new case: unlike previous generations, the player can now [[escape|run]] from Trainer battles, which causes them to black out immediately.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the player can black out by sustaining too much damage from wild Pokémon attacks in a period of time. The player will then be returned to a Pokémon Center. If the player loses a battle to a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon]], they can restart the battle from the beginning or continue with previous progress. The effect of the [[Green Canari Plush]] allows the player to sustain more damage before blacking out. Like in Legends: Arceus, If a battle is lost against a wild Pokémon, they can continue their adventure defenseless. If the player loses to a Trainer in the [[Z-A Royale]], they lose half of the [[prize medal]]s that they had. If the player blacks out in [[Hyperspace Lumiose|hyperspace]], they will be expelled from it immediately, wasting any unused [[Donut]] Energy.

===Formula for money lost===
{{main|Prize money}}
{{outdated|section|needs=LGPE and SS info}}
In the [[Generation I]] games, [[Generation II]] games, and {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the amount of money lost is simply half of the money the player has. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}}, and all games from Generation IV onwards, the money lost is calculated using the following formula:

<math display="block">MoneyLost = Level \times Base</math>

Where ''Level'' is the level of the player's highest-level Pokémon and ''Base'' is looked up using the appropriate table below.

{{-}}

For example, if the player has seven Badges and loses a battle with only a Level 96 {{p|Venusaur}} in their party, {{pdollar}}9600 will be lost. The minimum amount of money that the player can lose is {{pdollar}}8 (if the Pokémon with the highest level in the player's party is level 1 and the player has 0 Badges; 1×8=8), while the maximum is {{pdollar}}12000 (if the Pokémon with the highest level in the player's party is level 100 and the player has 8 Badges or the Island Challenge Completion stamp; 100×120=12000).

If the player is currently holding less money than the amount calculated, they will simply lose all their money when they black out.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
In {{g|Colosseum}}, the amount of money lost when the player whites out is half of the money the player has. The player will usually respawn at the last visited Pokémon Center, or in the [[Outskirt Stand]] if a Pokémon Center has not been used.

Some battles have a script for when the player loses, such as against [[Team Snagem]]'s [[Wakin]], where the player does not respawn, and [[Rui]] screams for help until the Team Snagem members leave on their own.

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the amount of money lost when the player whites out is {{pdollar}}16 × the level of the player's highest-level Pokémon. The player's respawn point is dependent on which Trainer they lost to. Most of the time, the player will respawn in their bedroom at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], but in other cases the player will respawn in a spot in the current location. For example, the player respawns at the entrance to the grounds if the player whites out at [[Kaminko's House]], while the player respawns in Acri's house if the player whites out in [[Gateon Port]].

If the player [[Snagging|snagged]] a [[Shadow Pokémon]] and loses, it will return to the original Trainer (or flee somewhere if the battle is not redoable). Due to an [[List of battle glitches in Generation III#Shadow Voltorb Catch Bug|oversight]], if the player loses in the first battle against [[Miror B.]], his Shadow {{p|Voltorb}} (and thus Shadow {{p|Dragonite}}) will be [[List of permanently missable Pokémon|permanently unobtainable]].

List of cross-generational references

2026-05-11T00:29:19Z

Keegster2: /* References to Generation IV */ Skyla's quote was incorrectly worded, and neither she nor Cedric had links to their articles. Both of these are now corrected. Impressively, I started making this edit shortly after seeing the line in-game, but had to verify the wording with Skyla's quotes page...

{{fan speculation}}
<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div>
The nine [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]], taking place in the same {{pkmn|world}}, have had multiple references to each other. Not only do the games reference their same-generation counterparts (with the {{player}}'s default name being the version played and the [[rival]]'s being the counterpart version in the first two generations), but games released later in the series typically will feature references to events of past generations.

This does not include Pokémon. While Pokémon released in previous generations will always appear, they are not a reference to the generation itself.

==List of references==
===Generation II===
====References to Generation I====
* Not only is the [[Kanto]] [[region]] a playable area during the games, but several of the events of [[Generation I]] are spoken of as having happened three years prior. Many characters also reappear because of this, though some of them undergo design changes.

Valuable item

2026-05-10T13:10:47Z

Keegster2: /* Valuable items that can be sold in Poké Marts */ Added information regarding both Honey and Legends: Arceus, including an item that wasn't listed at all, plus some more consistent formatting and a bunch of links.

{{move|Treasure}}
A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]].

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], some of these items are sold in [[Black City]], albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become [[exchangeable item]]s. In [[Generation V]], [[mulch]]es, [[flute]]s, and the [[Odd Keystone]] became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, those introduced in Generation V can only be sold to certain [[item maniac]]s. Besides [[Big Nugget]]s, [[Pearl String]]s, and [[Comet Shard]]s, the player can also sell normal [[Nugget]]s, {{i|Pearl}}s, [[Big Pearl]]s, [[Stardust]], and [[Star Piece]]s to the maniac inside the [[Icirrus City]] [[Pokémon Center]], for double the price presented below.

Keegster2: /* Appearance */ This section as a whole feels like fan worship, given how it obsesses over the color differences of the outfit she wears in every game she's in, but it should at least have proper accenting and formatting (plus a link and Oxford commas, too).

'''Erika''' (Japanese: '''エリカ''' ''Erika'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Celadon City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Celadon Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She is a serene young woman who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She is always dressed in an elegant {{wp|Furisode|kimono}}, and seems to represent traditional Japanese beauty.

== Appearance ==
Erika is a young woman with short black hair and fair skin. She is often shown wearing a kimono, a hairband, and other Japanese-style clothing in many of her portrayals.

==== Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow ====
Erika wears a blue hairband, a purple kimono, a blue hakama, white socks, and black sandals with blue straps.

==== Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen ====
Erika wears a red hairband with a circle with a line on the center on it, a yellow kimono with blue squares with white [[Poké Ball]] patterns on it, a red hakama, white socks, and black sandals.

==== Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver ====
Erika wears a yellow-orange kimono with Poké Ball and maple leaf patterns on the bottom, a red obi sash, a red hairband, white socks, and beige sandals.

==== Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! ====
Erika wears a red hairband with a white flower with green leave symbol on it, a green kimono, a red hakama with its tie on the back have white and green flower patterns, white socks, and beige sandals with green straps.

==In the core series games==
Erika's title is ''The Nature-Loving Princess''. She is ladylike, and a teacher of flower-arranging. She is a quiet girl, but she's well-known in Celadon City. Erika only collects Pokémon if she considers them attractive, though her definition of attractive seems to include varieties only a botanist could love. She also tends to doze off quite a bit, but will become inspired after a good match.

In addition to the Rainbow Badge, Erika gives out {{TM|21|Mega Drain}}, in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, she gives out {{TM|19|Giga Drain}}. In {{LGPE}}, the reward TM once again contains Mega Drain, but this time is [[TM53]].

She can be battled again in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after talking to her on Saturday or Sunday between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. She is found by [[Celadon City]]'s fountain. If she is called on Sunday morning, she will happily give a rematch at the Fighting Dojo.

Erika also appears in {{B2W2}}, taking part in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She can be faced in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament|Kanto Leaders]], [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]], and [[World Leaders Tournament]]s.

====History====
=====Pre-series=====
[[File:Child Erika and Gloom.png|thumb|left|220px|A young Erika]]
Erika’s love for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} all began when she was young with her {{p|Gloom}}. While wandering the streets of Celadon City, Erika was ambushed by a wild {{p|Grimer}}, but Gloom intervened and rescued its future Trainer from being attacked.

====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
Erika appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where she runs a perfumery in [[Celadon City]], which sells scents from essences extracted from her garden plants and her Pokémon. It also sells a special brand of perfume made from the essence of her favorite Pokémon, {{p|Gloom}}. {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} were enamored with the scents, but {{Ash}} insulted the perfume. In protest, Erika had him banned from her store and by extension the greenhouse, which also served as the location of the [[Celadon Gym]].

Later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were caught trying to steal perfume and were also banned from the Gym. Ash found them and untied them in exchange for help entering the Gym. Disguised as a girl named {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}, with {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as Ashley's parents]], Ash signed up as a student at the Gym. While Erika was reading a fairytale to some Grass Pokémon, Pikachu noticed the eerily familiar Ashley and exposed Ash's disguise. Even so, Erika agreed to his request for a battle.

Erika sent out her {{p|Tangela}} against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Ash quickly recalled Bulbasaur after it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a close-range {{m|Stun Spore}}. {{AP|Charmander}} then defeated Erika's {{p|Weepinbell}} before being overwhelmed by Gloom's scent. However, before the match could continue, it was interrupted when Team Rocket started a fire in the Gym as revenge for being thrown out. While Misty, Brock, and Erika's {{tc|Picnicker|Gym assistants}} worked together to douse the fire, Ash ran into the Gym and successfully rescued Gloom. Out of gratitude, Erika awarded the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash.

She reappeared in a flashback in the Japanese version of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
Erika appeared in a flashback in the Japanese version of ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
Erika's silhouette appeared in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'' alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the [[narrator]] explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].

Erika reappeared in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', where she was reunited with Ash. The Celadon Gym had been rebuilt since and Erika again thanked Ash for all his help. She hosted a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class which Ash attended alongside [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]]. Erika’s class helped [[Goh's Pinsir]] and [[Chloe's Eevee]] improve their confidence.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Erika and Leafeon reappeared in a fantasy, alongside other Trainers Chloe and her Eevee met.

====Character====
Erika is kind-hearted and readily accepts students to teach them about being a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} and perfume manufacturing. However, she also possesses a temperamental side, particularly when her perfume is insulted.

She is confident and gracefully composed in {{pkmn|battle}}. Her key strategy to bring out the best in her Pokémon is empathy. She uses [[status move]]s like {{m|Stun Spore}} to overwhelm her opponent's Pokémon. She also used Gloom's stench to overcome [[Ash's Charmander]], a {{type|Fire}} with a type advantage against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

Though everyone else managed to escape, Gloom was trapped in the Gym and surrounded by flames. Ash rushed into the Gym and rescued Gloom. In gratitude for saving Gloom, Erika gave Ash the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Brock Misty Erika Blaine Adventures.png|left|thumb|251x251px|Erika's (middle) current appearance in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
She debuted in ''[[PS019|Blame It on Eevee]]'', where she sent {{adv|Red}} out on a quest to capture an unusual [[Vee|Eevee]] that could [[Devolution|change at will between its three evolved forms]], due to being "modified" in a [[Team Rocket]] experiment. Erika threatened to kill Eevee by removing it from the healing machine Red had put it in; however, it turned out that she was just testing Red's character, and she then revealed her true alliance and saved the Eevee.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Erika then starts teaching at the [[Celadon University]], replacing a dangerous professor. In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', she goes to meet {{adv|Yellow}} after hearing about her from Misty, only to hear from one of her teammates that a Red look-alike has been spotted right outside of [[Celadon City]]. [[Pika]] races to him only to find out it was a disguise and the real Trainer, {{adv|Miles}}, was hired by the [[Elite Four]], who then beats her to the ground, threatens to take her life, and uses his {{p|Marowak}}'s {{m|Bonemerang}} laced with some of his {{p|Paras}}'s {{m|Spore}}s to disable Erika while Yellow chases him. She then figures out that to disguise himself as Red, he would've needed to encounter Red's scent in real life and has {{adv|Blaine}} call over for assistance.

She is next seen defending Celadon from [[Lorelei]] and her {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. She then realized that the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto were simply being stalled so [[Lance]] could carry out his real plan, and hoped that Yellow and Blaine had found out the same. She also realized that they were being targeted so the Elite Four could get their hands on the Gym Leader's [[Badge]]s, which one of the Shellder finally retrieved from her and Misty.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Erika is the supervisor of the Kanto Gym Leaders, meaning that she was automatically pitted against [[Pryce]], the Leader of the [[Johto]] Gym Leaders, in the exhibition tournament held at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. She lost that match and was later lured into the [[Magnet Train]] along with the other Gym Leaders to fight masked {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. She witnessed Misty's sudden burst of strength and gave her a flower brooch. Erika was on the front half of the train which later was about to crash into a dead end, but Red appeared out of nowhere to stop the train. Erika then lent Red her [[Pokégear]].

==== Character ====
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Erika is an elegant young princess who gives lectures at universities and practices archery. She is allied with the "good" [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]], and often assists [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] during crises.

Later, she appears in a performance on stage showing her {{p|Oddish}} in which it evolved into a {{p|Gloom}} and then into a {{p|Vileplume}}, which didn't please the judges.

===How I Became a Pokémon Card===
[[File:Allergicrocket.png|thumb|200px|left|Erika with [[Kaede]] in [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]]]
In [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], Erika appears in ''[[PW08|Erika and Kaede... and Dark Gloom]]''. She is a childhood friend of [[Kaede]], a [[Team Rocket]] operative with allergies to flowers. Kaede had an unfortunate reaction to a flower wreath Erika gave her at a party and ran off in shame. They met again later when Kaede invaded Erika's Gym on behalf of Team Rocket. Erika was overjoyed to see her old friend and seemed to disregard any and all ill plots.

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===

Erika appeared as a silhouette in [[JBA5]] alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ErikaHospitalityTeamUp174.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Full Art]] by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, the card {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika|16}} allows each player to draw up to three cards. Another card, {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Kindness|103}}, demonstrates her kindness, depicting her as helping a {{p|Growlithe}} out of the rain. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Maids|109}} enables the player to trade two cards in a hand for two Pokémon in the deck, both with Erika in their names. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Charity|99}} is attached to the player's Active Pokémon, and if that Pokémon is not knocked out, the card returns to the owner's hand; it allows the player to reduce the damage their attacks inflict on the Defending Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Perfume|110}} allows the player to peek at the hand of the opponent and force them to summon any number of basic Pokémon from the hand to the Bench.

As in the animated series, she also appears to make fragrances, such as LeAF, depicted on Erika's perfume.

Erika has an {{TCG|Erika|eponymous}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}} in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. Its {{TCG|Tamamushi City Gym|Japanese counterpart}} is based on the Celadon Gym.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Erika|39}} was slated to be released as a {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}} of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Erika's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|自然を愛するお嬢様|Nature-loving Lady}}.
* Erika's {{game|Yellow}} sprite was altered from the original {{pkmn|games}}. The only other significant opponents to be changed were {{ga|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Misty]], based on their prominent {{pkmn|animated series}} counterparts.
** The change was made to correct an error with her kimono. In the original sprite, it is crossed right over left, a style reserved for the deceased at funerals; the updated sprite has it properly crossed left over right.
* In every {{pkmn|battle}} against Erika, at least one of her Pokémon knows a {{status|sleep}}-inducing move.
* Erika, along with [[Janine]], are the only [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to give the {{player}} a TM upon their defeat in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* There were 1,153 episodes between Erika's [[EP026|first appearance]] and [[JN094|second appearance]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, which is the longest time between a particular [[human]] character's first and second physical appearances within the animated series.
* Erika's [[Generation III]] sprite is the only one of her sprites that does not have a {{i|Poké Ball}} in it.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Erika's {{p|Victreebel}} and {{p|Bellossom}} don't level up in her [[rematch]] team, both remaining at Level 56.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Erika's {{p|Gloom}} knows {{m|Petal Dance}} at level 32, but level 33 is the earliest that Gloom can learn that move in that generation.
* In Erika's HeartGold and SoulSilver artwork, the heart-shaped crest from the HeartGold logo can be seen in her hairband and obi.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Erika's hairband and obi are red in her official artwork, battle sprite, and VS sprite. However, in her overworld sprite, they are magenta instead.
* Erika is the only Kanto Gym Leader to have the same Japanese and English name, as the name Erika is common in both Japan and the western world.
** Also, Erika's [[Badge]], the Rainbow Badge, is the only Kanto Badge to have the same Japanese and English name.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PotionBaseSet94.jpg|thumb|200px|Potion]]
{{main|Potion (Base Set 94)}}
The '''Potion''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the {{TCG|Base Set}} expansion with artwork by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. It was later released as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion with new artwork by [[Ayaka Yoshida]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Beginning Set}}. This card has since been released numerous times throughout the course of the TCG.

In the Base Set, {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, and {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}} prints, this Trainer card allowed the player to remove two damage counters from one of their Pokémon. From the Black & White print onwards, the card allows the player to heal 30 damage from one of their Pokémon.

Pokémon Black and White: Prima's Official Strategy Guide

2026-03-12T06:37:07Z

Keegster2: /* Errors */ I've started a Professor Oak Challenge of Black, and I've decided to try and avoid using Bulbapedia in favor of my copy of this guide. In doing so, I found a section with errors I hadn't noticed before... and a case where I didn't link a Pokémon's page where I should've.

[[File:Black White Guide Cover with map.png|thumb|right|150px|Piggyback International's guide for Black and White]]
The cover of the normal edition of the book features {{ga|Hilbert}}, {{ga|Hilda}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}. The collector's edition features special lenticular hard cover featuring Reshiram and Zekrom.

===Unova Region Map===
A map listing nearly every location in [[Unova]] accessible in Black and White, as well as places of interest within them. While most areas appear on the map, [[Liberty Garden]] and [[Unity Tower]] are not listed.

===Weekly Event Calendar / Daily Event List===
Two lists of events that can be accessed daily or on certain days of the week, along with the day, time, and {{season}} where those events can be accessed.

===Recommended Route===
A short walkthrough advising the reader how to best proceed through the games, all the way up to returning to the [[Pokémon League (Unova)|Pokémon League]] and entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Major events are included, such as battles against major [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and obtaining key items. While the route mostly lists mandatory actions to complete the games, optional events, such as going to [[Anville Town]] and catching the [[Swords of Justice]], are included as well.

===Key Characters===
A group of pages showcasing official artwork of the games' major characters: [[Player character]]s Hilbert and Hilda, [[Professor Juniper]] and her father [[Cedric Juniper|Cedric]], [[rival]]s [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]], [[Fennel]], [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]], along with male and female [[Team Plasma]] Grunts, the [[Gym Leader]]s, the [[Elite Four]], and [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]] [[Alder]]. With the exception of Hilbert, Hilda, and the [[Striaton City]] Gym Leaders, an in-game quote from each character is featured along with their art. 

===How to Use This Book===
A page with short summaries of the following sections of the book, including the page they begin on. Similar pages are listed before the Unova Adventure Walkthrough section and at the beginning of the Unova Pokédex section.

===Primer for Pokémon Training===
The first major section of the book contains information about various aspects of the game, beginning with details on how to obtain Pokémon, information on [[Evolution]], [[move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], [[friendship]], [[Nature]]s and [[characteristic]]s, explanations of [[field move]]s, and [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], followed by advice on various battle mechanics, such as [[type]]s, [[status condition]]s, and [[weather]], as well as examples of well-balanced teams and suggested movesets for {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}}. Additional segments in this section explain the menus, such as the [[Pokédex]], usable key items, like the [[Xtransceiver]], [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[PC]]s, [[television]]s, the [[horoscope]], seasons, and the [[easy chat system]], including a full list of the keywords usable in it.

===Unova Adventure Walkthrough===
The largest section of the book, containing a full walkthrough of Black and White, with maps of every major location, summaries of story events, information on the items (excluding those found in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]) and Pokémon that can be found, and what field moves are needed to fully explore the areas. While most areas have their maps taken from the games, [[Skyarrow Bridge]], [[Castelia City]], [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Black City]], and [[White Forest]] use images specifically made for the guide. [[Opelucid City]] is given two segments, based on its appearances in Black and White, respectively. Also included are listings of the teams for battles with major Trainers, such as the rivals and Gym Leaders. Each bio contains the levels, [[gender]]s, types, and, excluding Bianca and Cheren's teams (whose bios instead include all three of their possible teams for each battle) and most of N's teams (which also give advice on beating them), a single move from each Pokémon, a recommended level for the player's own Pokémon, and advice on how to deal with them, primarily regarding what types to use. The teams of the Elite Four, the final battle with N in both versions, Ghetsis, Alder, and [[Cynthia]] also show images of the Pokémon on their team, as well as types that are super effective against each. Legendary Pokémon, as well as the {{p|Volcarona}} in [[Relic Castle]], are given similar bios, including their level, full movesets, and advice on catching them.

Several smaller "special" sections appear within this portion of the book, listing Pokémon that can learn multiple HM moves, helpful NPCs such as the [[Move Reminder]], [[in-game trade]]s, advice on training Pokémon for postgame content, [[item maniac]]s, the [[Battle Institute]], areas that have different weather depending on the season, and the locations of the [[Seven Sages]] after completing the main story.

===Trainer List===
A series of pages showing every single Trainer that can be fought in Black and White, listed in the order their locations appeared in the prior section. Trainers that give items (including [[Badge]]s) after being defeated have those items listed, while [[Doctor (Trainer class)|Doctors]] and [[Nurse (Trainer class)|Nurses]] are specified to heal the player's Pokémon after defeating them.

===Pokémon Form Changes and Special Evolutions===
This short segment contains information on the different [[form]]s of certain Pokémon, specifically {{p|Deerling}}, {{p|Sawsbuck}}, {{p|Darmanitan}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, and {{p|Arceus}}, along with how to change those forms. The last page shows how to evolve {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Nosepass}}, {{p|Eevee}} into {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Feebas}}.

===Unova Region Pokédex===
Exclusive to the collector's edition of the guide, this section contains profiles on every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black and White|Unova Pokédex]], excluding {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}}. Listed with each Pokémon is the official artwork of the Pokémon, Pokédex entries for it from both Black and White, its Unova Pokédex number, [[Pokémon category|category]], type(s), height, weight, possible genders, and [[footprint]], images of its in-game sprites from the front and back (including alternate forms), the [[held item]] it might [[List of Pokémon by wild held item|carry in the wild]] (if applicable), how it evolves, its possible Abilities (including its Hidden Ability, if obtainable without the use of [[Pokémon Dream World]]), [[Egg group]]s, how to obtain it, and a rating out of 6 for each of its stats, based on how they compare to the stats of other Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex. Finally, each Pokémon is given a full list of the moves they can learn, whether learned by leveling up, taught via [[TM]], HM, [[Move Tutor]], or as [[Egg Move]]s. Each move is given its type, whether it's physical, special, or a status move, its power, accuracy, [[PP]], and range, as well as whether it can target faraway opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s or make [[contact]] with the target.

===Type Matchup Chart===
A simple chart showing whether a type is super effective, neutral, not very effective, or has no effect on each individual type. Additional immunities granted by certain types are also listed, such as [[Grass (type)|Grass]]-type Pokémon being immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}.

===Index===
The final part of the book lists every item, TM, HM, and major NPC in the game, along with the page or pages they appear or are mentioned on. For major Trainers, the page numbers that their battle teams are listed on are highlighted in red.

Also included with the book is a miniature poster, containing the Unova Region Map on one side, with the Type Matchup Chart on the other.

The Prima edition is ISBN 0307890600, and the {{wp|Piggyback International}} edition is ISBN 1906064857.

==Trivia==
===Errors===
*On page 26, in the "Pokémon and Trainers become friends" section, entering a Pokémon in a [[Pokémon Musical]] or giving it a [[Sweet Heart]] are both said to increase a Pokémon's [[friendship]], when in actuality neither of these have any effect on friendship.
*On page 29, the [[Poison Gem]] and [[Hard Stone]] do not appear in the list of items that can be found in [[Phenomenon#Dust cloud|dust clouds]], while a generic "Item" appears instead. Additionally, the [[Everstone]] is stated to appear as frequently as the [[gem]]s, when it actually has the same rate of appearing as the other stone items.
*In page 127, the player is said to receive "''the'' [[Lucky Egg]]" from [[Professor Juniper]], the wording implying that there is only one obtainable. However, pages 37 (which refer to the item as "''a'' Lucky Egg") and 221 mention that additional Lucky Eggs can be obtained on {{rt|13|Unova}} from the [[Unova Route 13#Treasure hunter|man in sunglasses]]. In White, Lucky Eggs can also be found in [[White Forest]], being held by wild {{p|Happiny}}.
*On page 168, the image for the "Cheren plants himself in your path" blurb, likely intended to show the player's encounter with [[Cheren]] on {{rt|10|Unova}}, is a reused screenshot from page 164, depicting [[Drayden]] and [[Iris]] talking to the player character in White's version of [[Opelucid City]].
*[[Cynthia]]'s team bio on page 217 says that her {{p|Eelektross}} is immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks. While this is true, it does not explain that this is due to it having {{a|Levitate}} as its Ability, making it seemingly contradictory of Ground being super effective against {{t|Electric}} types. 
*A congraulatory message on 234 says that the player has become the new [[Pokémon Champion]] after defeating [[Alder]]. In reality, the player only enters the [[Hall of Fame]] after defeating him. Actually obtaining the title of Champion would not be possible in the series until [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].
*In the collector's edition, {{p|Victini}} is listed after {{p|Kyurem}} in the Unova Region Pokédex section. Going by the proper Pokédex order, Victini should be before Snivy.
**Additionally, Victini is said to be available during special distribution periods. While Victini would be directly obtainable in English games [[List of Wi-Fi English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Movie 14 Victini|via an event on December 3, 2011]], by the time this guide was released on March 6, 2011, only the [[Liberty Pass]] was obtainable, with Victini itself only being indirectly available through the event. 
*In the index, the page numbers where [[Skyla]] and [[Shauntal]]'s teams are listed are not highlighted in red to indicate those pages include major battles. In the latter case, the same page numbers are properly highlighted in regards to [[Grimsley]]'s teams.

Keegster2: /* Trivia */ Reading up on the Manual of Style, it seems that using original text to explain content from another website (e.g. GameSpot) is preferred to just copy-pasting an entire paragraph from said site, likely without permission. I moved the interview text to the reference, in case it IS okay to have it here.

A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the [[Pokémon games]] that is well known to the [[Player character|protagonist]], sharing similar skills, goals, and achievements.

Rival characters appear frequently during the protagonist's quest, having a role in several of the games' events and often challenging them in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of the protagonist. The rival may also be a childhood [[friend]] of the protagonist, or may become friends with them as the story progresses.

Other notable instances of characters considering each other rivals also occur in some [[Pokémon]] media.

==Terminology==
Multiple characters are either called rivals in promotional material or are self-proclaimed as such within dialogue.
* In [[Generation I]], {{ga|Blue}} is internally named "RIVAL1", "RIVAL2", and "RIVAL3" with different in-game sprites. In [[Pokémon Stadium]], his name is displayed as "RIVAL".
* In [[Generation II]], {{ga|Silver}} is internally named "RIVAL" in two separate instances with different in-game sprites. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], he is known as "RIVAL RIVAL", as the word is used for both his Trainer class and his name.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Gladion]] is internally named "RIVAL".

Rival characters that can be named by the player have the titles of their encounter or battle themes refer to them simply as "rival", while [[Wally]]'s theme in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]] is also titled ''Rival's Theme'' similarly to [[Hugh]]'s. {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} are the only characters to have ever had the "Rival" Trainer class.

In running text, this is usually written in lowercase as "rival". However, at least one guidebook uses "Rival" starting with a capital letter.<ref>''"Just after conquering the Elite Four and with victory in your grasp, your Rival shows up for one last showdown!"'' - ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]'', page 66</ref>

"[[Friend]]ly rival"<ref name="Trace"/><ref name="Hau"/> is a term used to refer to certain rival characters who are not antagonistic towards the player.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Bandai Jumbo2 Back.jpg|thumb|150px|{{ga|Red}} battling his rival {{ga|Blue}} in [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass]] art drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
In the [[core series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This character archetype has appeared in every core series game since its debut in [[Generation I]]. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[first partner Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a first partner Pokémon and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, often being one step ahead of the player as they move through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and more diversified [[party]]. Usually, they must be defeated in order to continue the game, the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]].

After the defeat of the Elite Four and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. The rival will often use the first partner Pokémon of their home region that has a [[type]] advantage against the one the player chose at the beginning of the game.

Certain rivals ({{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, {{ga|Barry}}, [[Hugh]], and {{ga|Trace}}) have their name chosen by the player at the start of the game. In the [[Hoenn]]- and [[Kalos]]-based games, the player character not chosen serves as a rival.

Most rivals use the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} "Pokémon Trainer", with only Blue and Silver identified as "Rival" as their Trainer class. Rivals may also take on other classes as they assume other roles in the story, such as Blue, {{ga|Trace}}, [[Nemona]], and [[Kieran]]'s status as Champions, as well as [[N]], [[Gladion]], and [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]'s membership in [[Team Plasma]], [[Team Skull]], and [[Team MZ]], respectively.

The following are the characters in the games that have been officially referred to as rivals of a player character.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}} and [[Paul]] in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, several rivals from the games have appeared at some point in the story, with many of them crossing paths with {{Ash}}'s group.

Additionally, other characters have served as rivals to Ash or other main characters, having similar goals and helping the heroes at some points against villainous teams.

*{{ga|Blue}} was given a [[cross-canon counterpart]] with [[Gary Oak]], who debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
*{{ga|Silver}} appeared briefly in the [[A New Oath|opening]] of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', which showed some events of {{jo|Jimmy}}'s journey.
*{{an|Barry}} debuted in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' and became one of Ash's rivals, as well as an occasional {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
* {{an|Bianca}} debuted in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', where she is a friendly rival of Ash and an occasional {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
*{{an|N}} debuted in ''[[BW109|New Places...Familiar Faces!]]''.
*[[Cheren]]'s only appearance was in ''[[BW111|There's a New Gym Leader in Town!]]'' as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Aspertia City]].
*{{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}} debuted in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.
*{{an|Gladion}}'s first proper appearance was in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.
*[[Hau]] debuted in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'' and would go on to serve as a minor rival for Ash.
*[[Marnie]] debuted in ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'' as a participant in the [[World Coronation Series]].
*[[Hop]] debuted in ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', when he challenged Ash to a battle before the start of the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].

====Ash's rivals ====
[[File:Leon and Ash.png|thumb|left|220px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Leon}} in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
*{{Gary}} was {{Ash}}'s main rival in {{aniseries|OS}} and {{aniseries|GS|''Gold and Silver''}}. They were close when they were younger, but their friendship ended when they argued over an old {{i|Poké Ball}} and broke it. Eventually, Gary gained some respect for Ash, and after losing to him in the [[Silver Conference]], they became friends again altogether.
*[[Paul]] was Ash's main rival in {{aniseries|DP}}. When they met, Paul despised Ash due to his approach to [[Pokémon training]] and [[friendship]], constantly insulting him every time they crossed paths. However, like Gary, he eventually grew to respect Ash after losing to him in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].
**{{an|Barry}} was Ash's secondary Sinnoh rival. Unlike Ash's other major rivals, the two have a friendly rivalry, though Barry would frequently comment that he believed he was much stronger than Ash would ever be.
**Ash's minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]] who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other rivals.
*[[Trip]] was Ash's main rival in {{aniseries|BW}}. The rivalry formed when Trip found out that Ash was from Kanto, a region of which Trip thinks very little. Trip believed Ash to be a redneck from the boonies who needed to go back to the basics of Pokémon, causing a heated rivalry. However, they were shown to respect each other to some extent in various episodes. Like with Gary and Paul, the two settled their differences when Ash beat Trip at the [[Vertress Conference]].
*{{an|Tierno}} was Ash's primary rival for the first part of {{aniseries|XY}}, with {{an|Trevor}} serving as a minor secondary rival. During the second part of his Kalos journey, however, Ash struck up more serious rivalries with [[Alain]] and [[Sawyer]]. Alain wished to test the unique power of Ash and his {{AP|Greninja}}, while Sawyer looked up to Ash and made it his goal to surpass him.
*{{an|Gladion}} was Ash's main rival in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. Ash and Gladion's rivalry was mutually respectful from the start, with Gladion recognizing Ash's strength almost immediately. Gladion eventually became more dedicated to surpassing Ash after witnessing his and his Pikachu's aptitude for [[Z-Move]]s, leading him to undertake the [[island challenge]]. Though Gladion is much calmer than Ash, he and Ash both share a deep, internal passion for intense battling.
*{{an|Leon}} was Ash's main rival in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. Defeating Leon in the [[World Coronation Series]] served as Ash's primary goal throughout the [[series]], with Leon in turn anticipating Ash's challenge and paying attention to his growth as a Trainer.
**During his journey throughout the World Coronation Series, Ash had rivalries with several other characters, such as [[Bea]] and [[Raihan]]. Bea is the only Trainer that Ash had multiple official battles with during the series.
*Ash also has friendly rivalries with [[Ritchie]], {{jo|Harrison}}, [[Morrison]], {{ho|Tyson}}, [[Stephan]], {{an|Bianca}}, {{un|Cameron}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, and [[Hau]]. Most of these Trainers have served as opponents for Ash during various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s.
*In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Ash had a rivalry with [[Rafe]]. The two settled their differences when [[LaRousse City]] was being attacked by {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

====Other characters' rivals====
[[File:Goh rivals.png|220px|thumb|[[Goh]] and his rivals in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Dawn rivals.png|thumb|370px|Dawn's rivals in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] had unfriendly rivalries with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively, until the latter two [[JN095|eventually]] left [[Team Rocket]].
*{{an|May}} has friendly rivalries with [[Drew]] and [[Solidad]], and an unfriendly rivalry with [[Harley]].
*{{an|Dawn}} has friendly rivalries with [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}}, and unfriendly rivalries with [[Ursula]] and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. She also has [[Nando]] as a minor rival.
*[[Johanna]] had a friendly rivalry with [[Lila]] when they were younger. Lila was the first person to defeat Johanna in a [[Contest Battle]], but she eventually gave up {{pkmn|Coordinator|coordinating}} and became a {{pkmn|Stylist}}.
*{{an|Cilan}} has an unfriendly (though one-sided) rivalry with [[Burgundy]], which comes from when he defeated her at the [[Striaton Gym]], and also from Cilan's better reputation as a {{pkmn|Connoisseur}}, although Cilan frequently comments on how he looks forward to seeing Burgundy's growth the next time they meet.
*{{an|Iris}} has an unfriendly rivalry with [[Georgia]], which comes from the fact that Iris wants to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]] while Georgia focuses on defeating {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
*[[Stephan]] engaged in an unfriendly rivalry with [[Montgomery]] during the [[Clubsplosion]].
*{{an|Serena}} has friendly rivalries with {{an|Shauna}}, [[Miette]], [[Nini]], {{an|Aria}}, and [[Lisia]].
*Alain has a rivalry with [[Remo]].
* {{an|Sophocles}} has a rivalry with [[Horacio]]. While they were initially unfriendly, they became more respectful towards each other after an encounter in the [[Vast Poni Canyon]].
*The rivalry between Leon and [[Raihan]] is introduced from the battle of the two Trainers in ''[[JN027|Toughing It Out!]]''.
*[[Goh]] has a rivalry with Gary, with both of them competing to become Chasers in [[Project Mew]] during ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''. Gary treats Goh the same way he treated Ash in the original series as a way to push him to become a better Trainer; this treatment is what motivated Goh to join Project Mew. Goh also has a friendly rivalry with his childhood friend [[Horace]], who also competed to become a Chaser.

====Rivalries between Pokémon====
=====Ash's Pokémon=====
[[File:Raichu Pikachu running.png|220px|left|thumb|[[Ash's Pikachu]] and his evolved form, {{p|Raichu}}]]
*[[Ash's Pikachu]] is occasionally shown to have a rivalry with his evolved form, {{p|Raichu}}. This was first displayed in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' with [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] and would be seen with several other Raichu throughout the series.
* [[Ash's Infernape]] had a brutal rivalry with [[Paul's Electivire]]-which began while both were still owned by [[Paul]]-and was resolved in their battle during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]'s [[DP188|quarterfinals]].
*[[Ash's Incineroar]] had a rivalry with [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]] that started when the former was still a {{p|Litten}}.
*[[Ash's Rowlet]] had a rivalry with [[Hau]]'s {{p|Decidueye}}, which was resolved in their battle during the [[Manalo Conference]]'s [[SM133|quarterfinals]].
*[[Ash's Lucario]] had a brief rivalry with [[Bea]]'s {{p|Grapploct}}, which ended after the third battle between the two in ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]''.

=====Other=====
*{{MTR}} has a one-sided rivalry with [[Giovanni's Persian]], either seeking approval or wanting to replace his leader's Pokémon.
*[[Brock's Croagunk]] has a violent rivalry with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], which continued in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
{{-}}

===''I Choose You!''===
[[Cross]] could be said to be {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s rival in the alternate storyline depicted in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. In a similar manner to Paul, Cross abandoned his {{AP|Charmander}}, deeming it to be too weak, and allowing Ash to catch it. Their relationship could even be said to be antagonistic, with Cross being even more aggressive than Paul. Cross's aggressiveness and thirst for power is derived from an inferiority complex, from being able to see {{p|Ho-Oh}}, but not being chosen as the Rainbow Hero. In the end, despite losing to Ash and his former Charmander, who by that point had evolved into Charizard, he still attempted to steal the [[Rainbow Wing]] in order to battle Ho-Oh and prove himself as the strongest Trainer.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Nemona anime.png|thumb|220px|Nemona in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
In {{aniseries|HZ}}, a few rivals from [[Generation IX]] games appeared during the course of the series:
* {{an|Nemona}} debuted in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', and quickly befriended [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] in spite of her competitive nature.
* [[Arven]] debuted in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', where he watched Liko's battle against Roy.
* [[Carmine]] debuted in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', where she encountered the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] during the trip to [[Kitakami]].
* [[Kieran]] debuted in [[HZ119]].

====Main characters====
*In ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and the [[Explorers]] began a serious rivalry with each other. During their clashes, the leaders of both groups, [[Friede]] and [[Amethio]], started an unfriendly rivalry with each other.
* Liko has a friendly rivalry with [[Ann]], as Ann has faced Liko several times and has as one of her goals to become as strong as Liko.
* [[Roy]] has a friendly rivalry with {{an|Nemona}}, with her often challenging him to battle and sometimes advising him on his journey. As of ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]'', Roy has gained a new rival named [[Ult]] who, like him, wants to find the [[Black Rayquaza]].
** In [[HZ122]], Friede proclaimed himself Roy's rival and vowed to defeat him in battle.
{{-}}

====Other characters' rivals====
[[File:Amethio Spinel rivalry.png|220px|left|thumb|[[Amethio]] and [[Spinel]]]]
* During the course of the series, it was shown several times that the members of the Explorers have a rivalry among themselves, forming small alliances with other members of the team. The most notable example of this is the relationship between Amethio and [[Spinel]]. In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', it was revealed that this led to a split in the Explorers, with one group led by Amethio and another led by Spinel, each with their own goals in the organization.
* In ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', [[Murdock]] had a rivalry with his old friend {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}}, which became heated after several disagreements, thanks to Liko's efforts, Murdock and Mitchell reconciled.
* In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Friede began a rivalry with [[Carmine]], with the latter challenging him to several challenges and finally ending with a [[Pokémon battle]], which Friede easily won.

== Trivia ==
*{{Ash}} has at least one species of Pokémon from the same [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] as each of his major rivals. {{Gary}} caught a {{p|Krabby}} and uses a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, [[Paul]] uses a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, [[Trip]] uses a {{TP|Trip|Serperior}} and {{p|Tranquill}}, [[Alain]] uses a {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and an {{p|Unfezant}}, {{an|Gladion}} uses a {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}}, and {{an|Leon}} uses a {{TP|Leon|Charizard}}. At various times in the series, this is used as part of the plot, such as the comparison between [[Ash's Krabby]] and Gary's Krabby in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', and Paul's Torterra serving as mentor to [[Ash's Grotle]] in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.
*Powerful enemies in the [[Battle Royale]]s of {{g|Rumble}} and {{g|Rumble Blast}}—chosen from Miis—are called rivals as well.
*In every [[core series]] game with a [[Pokémon League]] prior to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], at least one of the player's rivals can be battled at the Pokémon League and/or [[Victory Road]].
** The [[Sinnoh]] {{si|Victory Road}} is the only Victory Road where the player can never have a rival battle.
* According to an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the trend of early rivals being antagonistic towards the player character was the result of efforts to give them personalities that would make a more significant impact on players in spite of the low-definition graphics available at the time. Masuda goes on to say that, because modern Pokémon games are on consoles with superior graphics, such personalities would leave a stronger negative impression on players, while also stating his personal opinion that players nowadays are not as accepting of such abrasive personalities.<ref>''"I think the biggest reason that rivals were more of a jerk in the early days is that we were just limited in what we could express with the pixel graphics. There's not much that you can do with that kind of little sprite on the screen, so we worked harder to characterize them through dialogue and give them certain personalities. Also, because it's just dialogue and there's not a whole lot going on on the screen, it doesn't give as harsh of an impression even if they're jerks, I think. Now we have HD graphics and the visuals are much more impressive. If you also made him a jerk, the impression would be a lot stronger on players. Another thing, just my own personal take, is that it feels that people with those kinds of personalities these days are just not as accepted by players as they were back then."'' - [https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-dev-explains-why-your-rivals-arent-jerks-a/1100-6462397/ "Pokemon Dev Explains Why Your Rivals Aren't Jerks Anymore"], GameSpot</ref>

Rocky wall

2026-03-04T03:58:30Z

Keegster2: /* Areas with rocky walls */ The Black Sludge in Cerulean Cave doesn't require Rock Climb. The Headbutt trees with unique Pokémon are significant enough to include on the page.

[[Image:HM Rock Climb artwork.png|thumb|{{ga|Dawn}} ordering {{p|Machamp}} to use {{m|Rock Climb}}]]
'''Rocky walls''' (Japanese: '''ごつごつのかべ''' ''rugged wall''; '''ゴツゴツのいわはだ''' ''rugged rock surface'') are a type of obstacle appearing in [[Generation IV]] and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], commonly found in mountainous areas. To get past them, the {{player}} must have a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} use the [[field move]] {{m|Rock Climb}}.

==Terminology==
The English term "rocky wall" appears in {{m|Rock Climb}}'s description: "It can also be used to scale rocky walls." A similar text appears when using Rock Climb: "This wall is very rocky..."

Hoenn Safari Zone

2026-03-01T21:01:46Z

Keegster2: Due to an oddity in the adherence to proper nouns of Bulbapedia users, properly-capitalized uses of the term "Nature" do not have a uniform distribution.

|generation={{gen|III}}, {{gen|VI}}
}}
The Hoenn '''[[Safari Zone]]''' (Japanese: '''サファリゾーン''' ''Safari Zone'') is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]]. The entrance is on [[Hoenn]]'s {{rt|121|Hoenn}}.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, {{player}}s may only use [[Safari Ball]]s, and rather than weaken wild Pokémon in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch them. For {{PDollar}}500, the player is granted entry and 30 Safari Balls. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player is limited to 500 steps and the player is only allowed entry if they also have a [[Pokéblock Case]].

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Safari Game has been removed, and players can enter the Safari Zone area without paying a fee. Pokémon found here are now collected through normal battles. Each area also now has both [[Tall grass|tall]] and {{DL|tall grass|long grass}}, and while encounters between them are mostly the same, two rare Pokémon in each area can only be found in one type of grass specifically.

==Geography==
Certain areas of the Safari Zone can only be accessed with the [[Mach Bike]] or the [[Acro Bike]]. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all areas are accessible with either Bike and {{m|Surf}}, but in some areas, only one type of grass will be accessible without using the other Bike. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there are also [[breakable rock]]s that can be used to encounter Pokémon. In {{v2|Emerald}}, after the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], two new areas will open up to the east, featuring many [[Johto]] Pokémon not found in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Areas===
[[File:Hoenn Safari Zone numbered E.png|thumb|200px]]
[[File:Safari Zone ORAS.png|thumb|200px]]
*Area 1 houses the entrance.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the [[Acro Bike]] and {{m|Surf}} are required to reach the {{DL|tall grass|long grass}} within this area.
*Area 2 is directly west of Area 1.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the [[Mach Bike]] is required to reach the long grass within this area.
*Area 3 is directly north of Area 2. This area can only be accessed with a [[Bicycle|Bike]].
**In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Mach Bike is required to access this area.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Mach Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Acro Bike is required to reach the long grass.
*Area 4 is directly north of Area 1. This area can only be accessed with a Bike.
**In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Acro Bike is required to access this area.
**In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Acro Bike is required to reach the tall grass within this area, while the Mach Bike and Surf are required to reach the long grass.
*Area 5 is directly east of Area 1. It is only accessible in {{v2|Emerald}}, and only after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
*Area 6 is directly north of Area 5. It is only accessible in Emerald, and only after the player has entered the Hall of Fame.

===Pokéblock feeders===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the Safari Zone. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, there is an 80% chance of wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass|grass patches]] and [[water tile]]s up to five steps away from the feeder being forced to have a Nature such that, if an identically flavored Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred [[flavor]] dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock feeders, forced Natures do not have a uniform distribution. This causes Natures with higher ID numbers to be more common than [[Nature]]s with lower ID numbers. For example, if a green (bitter) Pokéblock is in the feeder and forces an enthralling Nature: Calm has an 8.71% chance to be forced, Gentle has a 15.61% chance to be forced, Sassy has a 27.66% chance to be forced, and Careful has a 48.02% chance to be forced (approximately).

==Safari Game==
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Safari Zone is only accessible to Trainers participating in the Safari Game. In a Safari Game, players may only use Safari Balls; rather than weaken them in battle, players must use non-conventional tactics to try and catch wild Pokémon. There are four options on the battle screen: throw a [[Safari Ball]], throw a [[Pokéblock]], go near, and run away. Throwing Pokéblocks makes a Pokémon less likely to run but harder to catch, while going near makes a Pokémon easier to catch but more likely to run.

When a Pokémon is encountered in the Safari Zone, the game will track catch and escape factors for it. The catch factor is initially set by dividing the Pokémon's [[catch rate]] by 12.75 (precisely: multiplied by 100 and divided by 1275) and rounding down. This has the effect of scaling the catch rate to a range of 0 to 20 (with any 0 value further set to 1, though this does not occur in natural gameplay). The escape factor starts with a value of 3.

These factors are then modified when the player takes an action, as described in the following table.
{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; border: 3px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|land}}; background:#{{locationcolor/med|land}}"
! style="background:#{{locationcolor/light|land}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Action

|- style="background:#FFF"
| Go Near the third time || Increase by 2 || Increase by 4
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Go Near each subsequent time || Increase by 1 || Increase by 4
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the first time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 5
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the second time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 3
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the third time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 2
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock each subsequent time, and the Pokémon is enthralled || No change || Decrease by 1
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the first time, and the Pokémon is curious || No change || Decrease by 3
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Throwing a Pokéblock the second time, and the Pokémon is curious || No change || Decrease by 2
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Throwing a Pokéblock each subsequent time, and the Pokémon is curious
| style="background:#FFF" | No change
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Decrease by 1
|}
A Pokéblock will only affect the escape factor if the escape factor is greater than 1. Otherwise, if the escape factor would become negative, it is set to 1 instead. Both factors are also limited to a maximum value of 20.

The Pokémon's reaction to a Pokéblock depends on the combination of its disliked or preferred [[flavor]]s: it is enthralled if its preferred flavor is greater than its disliked flavor, curious if they are equal, and ignores the Pokéblock if its preferred flavor is less than its disliked flavor. If a Pokéblock is ignored, the escape factor is not affected, but it still counts as thrown for the purpose of throwing subsequent Pokéblocks.

If the player tries to catch the Pokémon using a Safari Ball, the scaling of the catch factor is undone by multiplying it by 12.75 (1275/100) and rounding down to obtain a "modified" catch rate. The effect of these mechanics on the chance of ultimately catching the Pokémon is approximately a 2.5% change for every unit change in the capture factor, with an initial capture probability of approximately <code>catch_rate / 510</code> rounded down to the nearest multiple of 0.025 (2.5%), or 0.025 if it would be less.

Whether a Pokémon will try to escape is determined at the start of each turn. A random value from 0 to 99 (inclusive) is compared to the escape factor times 5: if the random value is less, the Pokémon will flee at the end of the turn (if not captured). These numbers translate to a 5% change in probability of escaping for every unit change in the escape factor, with an initial 15% chance of escape.

===Capture odds===
The table below shows the chances of capturing a Pokémon if a Safari Ball is immediately thrown.

===Pokéblock throw bug===
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, instead of the escape factor having a minimum value of 1 (5% chance to flee) like the catch factor, the game is coded to set the escape factor to 1 if it would become negative due to a thrown Pokéblock. This means it is possible for the player to throw Pokéblocks such that a Pokémon's escape factor becomes exactly 0, and the Pokémon will have a 0% chance to escape. Exploiting this can make it very easy to catch Hoenn Safari Zone Pokémon. Though, it is worth noting that if the "escape factor" is ever equal to 1, the game will not reduce it further regardless of which Pokéblocks are thrown by the player.

Due to an oddity in the programming of Pokéblock Feeders, the distribution of wild Pokémon's Natures is not even across each of the possibilities. This causes Calm Pokémon to only spawn in 1/10 encounters if a bitter Pokéblock is in the feeder while Careful-Natured Pokémon will occur in nearly 4/10 encounters. This gives players an opportunity to greatly increase the effectiveness of their Pokéblock manipulation.

The optimal catching strategy for exploiting this is as follows:

Make two single-[[flavor]] green{{tt|*|Can be created with a Rawst Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblocks, and one red{{tt|*|Can be created with a Cheri Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblock. Put one green Pokéblock into a feeder and start a wild encounter near that feeder. Yellow{{tt|*|Can be created with a Aspear Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}}, pink{{tt|*|Can be created with a Pecha Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} and blue{{tt|*|Can be created with a Chesto Berry at the Pokéblock Mixers that have 3 NPCS}} Pokéblocks can be used instead of green, green is just the most effective. A red Pokéblock in the feeder can be paired with a yellow Pokéblock as well.

When the battle starts...
* If the Pokémon's [[catch rate]] is higher than 200, '''throw Safari Balls'''.
* Otherwise, throw a Pokéblock of a color not in the feeder (by default red)
** 1) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 0), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
** 2) If the Pokémon ignores the Pokéblock, throw a Pokéblock with the same color as the one in the feeder (by default green).
*** 2a) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 0), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
*** 2b) If the Pokémon is curious (escape factor = 1), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
** 3) If the Pokémon is enthralled (escape factor = 1), '''throw Safari Balls'''.
This strategy results in, at minimum, a 75.88% chance to catch any Pokémon that appears.

==Trivia==
* No {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|Pokémon introduced in Generation III}} appear in this Safari Zone.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the entrance to the Safari Zone has a book titled "The Path of the Safari Zone" written by the founder of the Safari Zone.
::'''Chapter One: Foundation.'''
::''"A desire to provide the children of the Hoenn region with a chance to encounter many Pokémon welled up inside of me and led to my decision to open here."''
::'''Chapter Two: Opening.'''
::''"From the very day we opened, a long line wound its way from the Safari Zone. It was a huge success. A desire to make more money off of it welled up inside of me and led to my decision to raise the price of admission."''
::'''Chapter Three: Bankruptcy.'''
::''"As a result of the higher admission prices, customers stopped coming to the Safari Zone. A desire to save my own hide welled up inside of me and led to my decision to flee under cover of night."''
::'''Chapter Four: Rebirth.'''
::''"After I had made my escape, the Safari Zone was reborn thanks to the support of some thoughtful people. A desire to pretend that I had never run away welled up inside of me and led to my decision to return to Hoenn."''
::'''Final Chapter: The Future.'''
::''"Having made my return, I began working as a volunteer at the Safari Zone. A desire to express my happiness at having returned welled up inside of me and led to my decision to continue to take good care of Pokémon every day."''
* In {{game|Emerald}}, the [[Rare Candy]] in Area 6 cannot be picked up if the player tries to pick it up while facing it from the north or the west.
* In the Japanese version of Pokémon Emerald, Area 5 has two slight differences compared to the Western version:
** In the Western version of the game, the second northernmost square of tall grass in the southeasternmost patch of grass has been moved one tile to the left.
** In the Japanese version of the game, the hidden [[Full Restore]] was mistakenly placed on a tile inside the trees to the east of the patch of grass, making the item impossible to reach. This was fixed in the Western version of the game by placing the Full Restore inside the now bare patch of grass.
* Hoenn Safari Zone Areas 1, 2, and 4 from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} can be found in the internal data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. However, the tileset data is missing, so the maps are glitched.

List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon

2026-02-13T00:47:11Z

Keegster2: /* Pokémon Pocket Monsters */ "Differentiations"? Who wrote some of these sentences? Time for a clean-up.

{{Fan speculation}}
Over the course of the [[Pokémon]] series, a number of creatures with traits of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have appeared that are not the same as any known Pokémon. Their status as Pokémon is often disputed. There are also some Pokémon, such as the original [[Legendary beasts]] prior to their reincarnation by {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which have not been identified. For unknown Pokémon exclusive to pre-release material, see [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs]]; for creatures primarily considered to be animals (but not specific Pokémon), see [[Animals in the Pokémon world]].

|class="l" style="padding:5px"|{{anchor|Gym Statue}}
<div style="float: right">[[File:Cat creature.png|200px]]</div>
Most Pokémon [[Gym]]s contain a set of statues [[File:Gym Statue Sprite DPPt.png]], usually near the entrance, often listing the Trainers who have defeated that Gym's [[Gym Leader]]. These statues have appeared in every core Pokémon title with exception of {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where Gyms do not appear.

These statues may vary from game to game in appearance, but otherwise appear to be a rigid monster-like creature, often bipedal in stature with two arms, fangs and horns. Their feet are often clawed. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, these statues appear in the [[Kantonian Gym]] and have had released concept art, showing their full detail. This design, seemingly based on the statues from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as the monster-like menu sprite from [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, give it the appearance of having a dinosaur-like tail, and owning a pair of bat-like wings, making it resemble a typical {{wp|gargoyle}}.

In the first episode of [[Pokémon Origins]], [[PO01|File 1: Red]], an unknown cat-like creature with draconic wings appears briefly in Brock's Gym during the first episode. This creature was likely based on the Gym statues found in the [[Kanto]]-based games.

|class="l" style="padding:5px"|{{anchor|Substitute doll}}
[[File:SubstituteStadium2.png|right]]
The substitute doll has has appeared in most games in where the move, {{m|Substitute}}, can be used. The design has evolved over time since its appearance in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, where it reused the appearance of the monster-like menu sprite, making it have a resemblance to {{p|Rhydon}}. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and its sequels, this doll was more purple with a horn on its snout, while in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} onward, it was more green in color, gradually getting more "cuter" and plush-like as the franchise progressed, with alterations to the design depending on the title. The dolls can vary in shape and size, and have made appearances outside battle within the core series.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', its trophy description points out that, while it looks and gets attacked like a Pokémon, it is not actually one. The doll has gone on to receive several pieces of merchandise, including its own plush doll and clothes. It has also appeared in numerous spin-off titles and other media including animation and literature, retaining a similar design.

|class="l" style="padding:5px"|{{anchor|Original legendary beasts}}
[[File:Suicune Entei Raikou PG.png|right|200px]]
It is said that the Legendary beasts {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} were reincarnated by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after they died in the fire that burned down the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. They were said to represent the lightning that struck the tower (Raikou), the fire that burned the tower down (Entei), and the rain that put it out (Suicune). While it is unknown in the games if these three were already a Raikou, Entei, and Suicune before they were revived, the [[Pokémon Generations]] short ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'' shows them as three nameless Pokémon.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in Nintendo Dream, the bones that Vullaby and Mandibuzz wear are those of other Pokémon. However, it is not stated which Pokémon they are from, but they bear a notable resemblance to a human skull.

Pokédex entries say that most of the bones Mandibuzz uses to decorate its nest come from {{p|Cubone}}. These bones could also take part in Vullaby and Mandibuzz's design.

{{main|Tao trio}}
<div style="float: right">[[File:Tao trio.png|200px]]</div>
According to legend, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} were once a single powerful dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the [[Unova]] region. However, the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin. It is revealed in {{B2W2}} that when the single dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon, {{p|Kyurem}}, was "created" from the leftovers. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth or ideals". Kyurem can be [[Pokémon fusion|fused]] with Reshiram or Zekrom to form White Kyurem or Black Kyurem, respectively, using the [[DNA Splicers]], but the appearance of the single Dragon Pokémon's complete form is unknown. In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'' and ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', the single Dragon is briefly seen as a black and white, winged, two-horned silhouette.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], there are four types of [[Fossil]]s, all of which appear to be incomplete, as they consist only of either a top half or a bottom half. [[Cara Liss]] can combine two Fossils that are opposite halves into one Pokémon, allowing half of the original prehistoric Pokémon to be seen.
* The [[Fossilized Drake]], which forms the bottom halves of Dracozolt and Dracovish, appears to be from a heavy, spiked, dinosaur-like {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* The [[Fossilized Dino]], which forms the bottom halves of Arctozolt and Arctovish, appears to be from an {{type|Ice}} marine Pokémon.
* The [[Fossilized Bird]], which forms the top halves of Dracozolt and Arctozolt, appears to be from a light, bird-like {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* The [[Fossilized Fish]], which forms the top halves of Dracovish and Arctovish, appears to be from a marine, placoderm-like {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

However, the [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for all four of the [[Generation VIII]] Fossil Pokémon suggest that they lived in prehistoric times, as does Cara Liss upon reviving one of them, though this information is somewhat implied to be inaccurate.

In the [[Scarlet Book]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon inspired by the Paradox Pokémon found in [[Area Zero]] is seen, drawn by a member of the Area Zero Expedition team. This Pokémon resembles the [[Legendary beasts]]: {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} and their ancient counterparts: {{p|Walking Wake}}, {{p|Gouging Fire}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}.

It is implied that this sketch was drawn by a member of the Area Zero Expedition team that managed to catch a glimpse of each of the Paradox Pokémon, Walking Wake, Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt during their exploration in Area Zero.

In [[Kitakami]] myths, it is said that the Pokémon that formed the Loyal Three were once below-average Pokémon: {{p|Okidogi}} was small and weak, {{p|Munkidori}} was clumsy and dim-witted, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} had short, dull feathers. The {{a|Toxic Chain}}s wrapped around their bodies granted them the strength, cleverness, and beauty that they respectively wished for. It's later revealed that {{p|Pecharunt}} was the one that transformed the trio with its Toxic Chains, while also using its [[mochi|Binding Mochi]] to tame them, so they could help it complete its journey to steal a brilliant set of masks desired by its caretakers.

The trio's original appearance is unknown and their [[type]]s are implied to be completely different from the ones they now possess. What appear to be their original forms are depicted alongside a human child on [[Kitakami]]'s signboards.

No additional information on the silhouette was contained in the source code of the tutorial's Flash file.

|class="l" style="padding:5px"|{{anchor|Unnamed bear}}
The only known information about this creature is from its brief appearance in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. It seems to be a bear with decorative markings covering its body. Since markings like this are also present on the other Pokémopolis Pokémon featured in the episode like {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Alakazam}}, it is unlikely to have been a normal feature.

This creature made its sole appearance in ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]''. It seems to be a giant yellow spider, with four red compound eyes, two antennae on its head, and a mouth with four large fangs. Its thorax has eight long, brown legs. Its abdomen is much larger relative to the rest of it body, with two thin, black stripes. Its cry is a screech, not unlike {{p|Victreebel}}'s. The nature of its appearance (in a Gligarman movie) would appear to indicate it may be a fictional monster or Pokémon, and whether it is supposed to be portrayed by a real Pokémon, a mecha, or simply special effects is unclear, though its movements and cry give it an extremely organic appearance.

This clay artifact that looks like a Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'' and then again over nine-and-a-half years later in ''[[DP181|Bucking the Treasure Trend!]]''. [[Professor Oak]] descibes it as an "ancient Pokémon [[fossil]] [or] artifact".

It is similar to the Clay Doll Pokémon {{p|Baltoy}} and {{p|Claydol}} and thus may have been based on ''{{wp|Dogū|shakōki-dogū}}'', clay figurines from the {{wp|Jōmon period}} of Japanese history.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, first appearing in [[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade 1]], the statue in [[Eterna City]] is neither Dialga or Palkia but a combination of the two statues. This is a reflection of the statue's appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}} being ambiguously shaped, in order to represent a different member of the duo in each game with a different tile palette. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the statue was redesigned to be an explicit {{pkmn|fusion}} between the two, similarly to how it appears in the manga.

After seeing the two Pokémon for the first time in [[Spear Pillar]], {{adv|Pearl}} theorized that the statue could represent how ancient people saw the two Pokémon fighting inside a distortion of space and time which led them to believe it was one Pokémon.

Friendship

2026-02-13T00:05:28Z

Keegster2: /* Modification */ The Contests in Gen IV are SUPER Contests, and they're not in HeartGold and SoulSilver. A shame that winning the Pokéathalon doesn't also give a friendship increase, though.

{{samename|Friendship features in {{g|GO}}|Friends (GO)}}
{{redirect|Happiness|the Pokémon with the {{pkmn|category}} of "Happiness Pokémon"|Blissey (Pokémon)}}
{{spading|comment=Still needs research overall, especially regarding values.}}
{{incomplete|needs=Manga section}}
[[File:SV Shiny Lucario Event.png|thumb|300px|{{ga|Florian}} with his {{Shiny}} {{p|Lucario}}, a Pokémon that [[Friendship Evolution|evolves via friendship]]]]
'''Friendship''' (Japanese: '''なつき''' ''emotional attachment''), historically referred to by fans as '''happiness''', is a measurement of how much a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is attached to its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care.

In the [[core series]] games, friendship was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, though only for the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game. It was expanded to apply to all Pokémon starting in [[Generation II]].

Friendship affects the [[Friendship Evolution|Evolution of certain Pokémon]], the power of certain [[move]]s, and the availability of a few in-game [[item]]s and [[ribbon]]s. Certain activities/events can increase a Pokémon's friendship (such as gaining a [[level]] and walking a certain amount of steps), while others decrease their friendship (such as [[fainting]] and using [[herbal medicine]]).

Friendship is distinct from [[affection]], a separate mechanic used in [[Generation VI]] and some [[Generation VII]] games. However, beginning with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], friendship effectively replaced affection, taking on its effects.

==Terminology==
{{incomplete|section|Other Japanese and/or English names}}

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the List feature (a table containing Pokémon data which is accessible from the {{OBP|PC|Stadium}}) includes a "'''Tame'''" column which contains [[Friendship rating#Pokémon Stadium 2|short text descriptions]] about the friendship of each Pokémon.

According to the in-game descriptions of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}, friendship is known as "'''loyalty'''" in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but in other games it is usually described in terms of how much a Pokémon "'''likes'''" or "'''dislikes'''" the Trainer.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the {{tc|Sailor}} in [[Gateon Port]] refers to this concept using the terms "'''friendly'''" and "'''friendliness'''" when explaining {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Eeveelutions|Evolutions]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], it is called "'''happiness'''". In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'' (page 19), it is called "'''friendliness'''".

===Friendship rating descriptions===
From {{game|Yellow}} onwards, the [[friendship rating|friendship raters]] use a wide variety of informal descriptions related to the Pokémon's friendship. For instance, if a Pokémon has a high friendship value, some raters may describe it as ''"happy"'', ''"trusts you"'', ''"attached to you"'', ''"friendly toward you"'', ''"likes you very much"'', or ''"adores you"'', among other examples.

In particular, the only friendship rater who describes friendship as "taming" is the one in Pokémon Yellow, as seen in the possible quotes ''"Your Pikachu seems tamed."'' or ''"It seems like it hasn't been tamed at all."'' (in addition to the "Tame" data in Pokémon Stadium 2)

If a Pokémon's friendship value is neither high or low, some possible comments include ''"looks neutral"'', ''"warming up"'', or ''"not quite familiar with you"''. If a Pokémon's friendship is low, this has been described including negative statements such as ''"looks mean"'', ''"looks evil"'', ''"very wary"'', or ''"has a vicious look to it"''.

==General mechanics==
[[File:SugimoriFriendBall.png|thumb|175px|A [[Friend Ball]]]]
A Pokémon's friendship value ranges from 0 to 255 (stored as a single unsigned byte), and since [[Generation III]], each Pokémon has a [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] value. This base value applies when a [[wild Pokémon]] is {{pkmn2|caught}} with most kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s and in most cases when a Pokémon is [[trade]]d. As of [[Generation IX]], there are two exceptions for caught or traded Pokémon:
* A wild Pokémon caught in a [[Friend Ball]] starts with 200 friendship, regardless of its base friendship; and
* A Pokémon traded back to its [[original Trainer]] regains the friendship it had before being traded away ([[Generation VI]] or later).

Additionally, a Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 100 friendship<sup>BDSP</sup>/120 friendship.

===Friendship rating===
{{main|Friendship rating}}

Certain [[Non-player character|NPC]]s in the core games evaluate the friendship of the player's Pokémon.

===Raising and lowering friendship===
[[File:SugimoriLuxuryBall.png|thumb|175px|Luxury Ball]]
[[File:Bag Soothe Bell SV Sprite.png|thumb|250px|Soothe Bell (Generation IX sprite)]]
Friendship is generally increased by taking good care of a Pokémon. Keeping a Pokémon in the player's party, raising it, using items on it, and getting it [[Pokémon groomer|groomed]] will typically increase a Pokémon's friendship. Letting a Pokémon faint and using bitter [[herbal medicine]]s on it will decrease a Pokémon's friendship.

Certain items and conditions (described below) apply additional bonuses to friendship increases. These bonuses do not apply to when friendship is not increased (e.g., using an [[X Attack]] on a Pokémon with high friendship).

====Luxury Ball====
From [[Generation III]] onward, if a Pokémon was caught in a [[Luxury Ball]], any increase to its friendship is boosted by 1.

====Met location====
Activities and events that increase a Pokémon's friendship are more effective in the location where that Pokémon was first encountered (e.g., where it was caught). This effect exists in {{game|Crystal}}, [[Generation III]], and all games from [[Generation V]] onward.

In {{game|Crystal}}, a Pokémon leveled up at its met location gains twice as much friendship. However, only Pokémon caught in Crystal record a met location, and Pokémon traded to a Generation I game have their met location permanently erased.

In Generation III onward (except in Generation IV), if a Pokémon is currently at its met location, any increase to its friendship is boosted by 1. This does not apply in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

====Soothe Bell====
If a Pokémon is holding a [[Soothe Bell]], increases to its friendship are boosted by 50% of the change. In [[Generation III]], the increase is applied to the original change in friendship; in subsequent generations, it applies to the friendship change after including Luxury Ball and met location bonuses.

===Effects of friendship===
Starting in [[Generation II]], there are {{cat|Pokémon that evolve by friendship}}. Additionally, certain moves vary in power depending on the user's friendship.

In [[Generation IV]] and since [[Generation VIII]], certain [[ribbon]]s are awarded to Pokémon with the maximum (255) friendship value.

Some NPCs also only give gifts or [[Move Tutor|teach moves]] when the player's Pokémon has a certain amount of friendship. Specifically, a Pokémon must have maximized friendship to learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, or {{m|Water Pledge}} prior to [[Generation IX]] introducing them as [[TM|TMs]].

====Affected moves====
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Power in Link Battles, is it set to maximum friendship power value?}}
Friendship affects the base [[power]] of the following moves.

====In-battle bonuses====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Needs more detailed information, dialogue, etc.}}
Beginning in [[Generation VII]], friendship can have in-battle effects that used to depend on [[affection]]. These effects, which vary by game, include surviving a hit that would normally [[Fainting|knock it out]], boosted [[experience]], and recovering from [[status condition]]s.

====Fishing====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when [[fishing]], the [[walking Pokémon]]'s friendship affects the odds of getting a bite. The higher the walking Pokémon's friendship is, the higher chance the player has of getting a bite.

====Evolutions based on friendship====
{{main|Friendship Evolution}}

From [[Generation II]] onwards, several Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] when they [[level]] up while having a high friendship. These Pokémon evolve when they have at least 220 friendship from Generations II to VII, or 160 friendship from Generation VIII onwards.

====Rewards====
* In {{game|Yellow}}, [[Melanie]] in [[Cerulean City]] will give the {{player}} a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow|partner Pikachu}}'s friendship is at least 147. Melanie will give the player this Bulbasaur even if Pikachu is not in the party or even in the game.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a man at the end of the [[Water Labyrinth]] will give the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}} if their lead Pokémon has maximum friendship.
* In [[Johto]], the friendship rater in the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] will give the player {{TM|21|Frustration}} if shown a Pokémon with low enough friendship and {{TM|27|Return}} if shown a Pokémon with high enough friendship.
* In [[Hoenn]]:
** A woman in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]] will give the player a [[Soothe Bell]] if their lead Pokémon's friendship is at least 150.
** The friendship rater in [[Pacifidlog Town]] will give the player {{TM|21|Frustration}} if shown a Pokémon with less than 50 friendship and {{TM|27|Return}} if shown a Pokémon with at least 150 friendship. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this can be repeated weekly, but only one of the two TMs can be received each week.
** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Nameless Cavern]] only appears when the player has three Pokémon with maximum friendship in their party.
* In [[Sinnoh]], a man in the {{to|Celestic}} [[Pokémon Center]] will give the player a [[Great Ball]] if their lead Pokémon's friendship is high enough. This can be repeated daily.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a woman in [[Nimbasa City]] will give the player a [[Soothe Bell]] if their lead Pokémon's friendship is high enough.
* In {{g|X and Y}}:
** A {{tc|Madame}} in [[Shalour City]] will give the player a [[Soothe Bell]] if their lead Pokémon's friendship is at least 70.
** A {{tc|Lady}} in the {{DL|Coumarine City|Coumarine Hotel}} will give the player a [[Lucky Egg]] if their lead Pokémon has maximum friendship.

===Misconceptions===
Though often thought otherwise, the following factors do ''not'' affect friendship:

* Trying to release the partner {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} or evolve it with a [[Thunder Stone]]{{sup/1|Y}}
* Battling against an [[Elite Four]] member or the [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]{{sup/1|Y}}
* Depositing a Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] (except it loses some friendship in {{game|Yellow}}, and the friendship resets in the Stadium games)
* Letting a Pokémon's [[HP]] fall to critical status
* Letting a Pokémon get a [[status condition]], or walking with a Pokémon with a status condition
* Healing a Pokémon with low HP or with a status condition
* Giving a Pokémon an [[Held item|item to hold]] that is not the [[Soothe Bell]].
* [[Evolution|Evolving]] a Pokémon without [[Methods of Evolution#Evolution via trading|trading it]]
* Using a Pokémon in {{pkmn|battle}} or winning a battle with it.
* Increasing [[affection]]
* Using a [[Scent]] on a Pokémon

==Generation- and game-specific mechanics==
===Generation I===
[[File:PikachuY-Happy.png|thumb|{{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} with high friendship]]
Friendship was introduced in {{game|Yellow}} as a mechanic exclusively for the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game. {{pkmn2|Outsider}} Pikachu are not affected, nor are any {{p|Raichu}} (even if Raichu was evolved from the partner Pikachu through [[trade]]). However, any {{p|Pikachu}} whose [[Original Trainer]] is the {{player}} is treated as their partner Pikachu, and all partner Pikachu share the same friendship value. This value persists if the partner Pikachu is traded, and any change in this value applies to all partner Pikachu.

When in the [[party]] and not [[fainting|fainted]], the partner Pikachu (or the first Pikachu with the player’s OT in the party, if there are multiple) [[Walking Pokémon|follows the player in the overworld]], and interacting with Pikachu brings up a pop-up window showing Pikachu's face. Apart from certain special events that cause special reactions, Pikachu's expression changes based on its current friendship. At maximum friendship, Pikachu jumps up and down before the window appears.

====Modification====
Various actions can change Pikachu's friendship level:

[[Vitamin]]s, [[battle item]]s, and {{cat|HP-restoring items}} increase Pikachu's friendship even if they would have no effect (e.g., attempting to use a [[Potion]] on a Pikachu that is fainted or has full health). Using an item in this way does not consume it, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship.

Waking Pikachu with the [[Poké Flute]] (either in or out of battle) does not change its friendship.

If the battle ends in a tie exactly when Pikachu faints (such as from {{m|Self-Destruct}}), no friendship will be lost as a result.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], friendship was expanded to apply to all Pokémon. All Pokémon have a base friendship of 70, but any Pokémon caught in a [[Friend Ball]] starts with 200 friendship, and any Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 120 friendship.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if a Pokémon is leveled up at its met location, it will gain twice as much friendship from that level up as usual. Since only Pokémon caught in Pokémon Crystal have a defined met location, Pokémon caught in the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and Pokémon from [[in-game trade]]s will not receive this bonus. If a Pokémon that has a defined met location is traded to a Generation I game, this data is permanently erased, so it can no longer receive this bonus.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], each Pokémon was assigned a specific [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] value. The [[Luxury Ball]] and [[Soothe Bell]] boosts were also introduced.

Fainting in battle will not alter a Pokémon's friendship if it fainted from {{status|poison}} at the end of a turn.

In the Generation III core series games, if a Pokémon is currently at its met location, any increase to its friendship is boosted by 1. This does not apply in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

===Generation IV===
{{incomplete|section|Figure out the probabilities for the variable massage/grooming events}}
Unlike the previous generation, a Pokémon's met location does not affect the amount of friendship it gains.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the massage at the [[Ribbon Syndicate]] is not affected by any friendship boosts, and the [[Soothe Bell]] does not affect friendship gained when using a [[battle item]].

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only, due to a bug, using [[herbal medicine]] on a Pokémon with low friendship while in battle can cause its friendship to underflow to a value near the 255 maximum.<ref>https://youtu.be/YXhSU09weII</ref>

===Generation V===
{{incomplete|section|Effects of Makeups at the {{DL|Join Avenue|Beauty Salon}}; check whether boosts like Luxury Ball apply to Join Avenue events}}

====Modification====
The met location friendship boost introduced in [[Generation III]] returned. Additionally, Generation V introduced Befriending Power as a [[Pass Power]]; it boosts any increase to friendship by one to three points depending on the strength of the power used. However, friendship boosts do not apply to the massage in [[Castelia City]].

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], friendship is factored into all of a Pokémon's stats, except HP. At maximum friendship, a Pokémon will receive a 10% boost to its stats, before [[awakening values|AVs]] are added in. The friendship multiplier scales directly with the level of friendship, starting from a 0% boost at 0 friendship to receiving the full 10% at 255.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{incomplete|section|Test and update chart with thresholds and values for all friendship increasing/decreasing factors like vitamins, battle items, herbs, etc., confirm untested thresholds for camp/berries, do they actually cap at 179? [https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1571190597028876290 Examples]}}
=====Modification=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, friendship can only be increased to a certain cap without using [[Pokémon Camp]] or {{Berries}}. While this is enough to evolve Pokémon that evolve with high friendship, it is not enough to receive any in-battle friendship bonuses. Pokémon Camp and {{cat|friendship-raising Berries}} are the only ways to reach the maximum friendship value of 255.

The following methods can only increase Pokémon's friendship up to a maximum of 179. After 179 friendship, these methods no longer boost friendship.
*Leveling up.
*Walking with them in the party.
*Using [[battle item]]s on them.
*Using [[vitamin]]s or [[feather]]s on them. (Excluding [[Rare Candy]], [[Exp. Candy]], and [[Dynamax Candy]] which have unused values and do not grant Friendship<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1574102961109848066</ref>)
*Battling with them against [[Gym Leader]]s or other "tough" Trainers.

The following methods can increase a Pokémon's friendship regardless of their current friendship (up to the maximum of 255).
*Using {{cat|friendship-raising Berries}}
*[[Pokémon Camp]]:
**Playing with them using toys, especially toy balls.
**Breaking up fights involving the Pokémon by calling it over to you.
**Cooking [[curry]] with the Pokémon, especially when using lots of rare Berries.

The following methods can decrease a Pokémon friendship (down to a minimum of 0).
*Letting a Pokémon faint, especially when battling a much stronger opponent.
*Using [[herbal medicine]] on it.

=====Effects=====
In these games, friendship has the following effects:

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Massage friendship increase amount needs to be verified, added with the assumption it remains the same value.}}

=====Modification=====
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, leveling up can once again increase friendship all the way to the maximum of 255.

{{incomplete|section|Needs information on changes (friendship-raising actions seem to increase it less now) and friendship-changing actions}}
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====

=====Modification=====
Similar to Sword and Shield, most actions only increase friendship up to 160. To reach the friendship cap of 255, friendship-raising Berries must be used or [[Picnic|picnic]] activities must be done.

==In the side series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Pokémon Pikachu and Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS; [https://youtu.be/NSo_eVtBNS4?t=701 friendship boosts from Stadium 2's Mini-Game Champion mode]}}

===Pokémon Stadium 2===
Depositing a Pokémon in a [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] box will reset its friendship to 70.

===Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
{{incomplete|section|Check whether friendship is boosted at the met location in Colosseum}}
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[purification|purifying]] a Pokémon increases its friendship by 70.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Friendship Evolutions====
{{main|Friendship Evolution|section=Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series}}

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the [[friendship Evolution]]s (such as {{p|Pichu}} evolving into {{p|Pikachu}}) use the Pokémon's [[IQ]],{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}} a hidden stat,{{sup/md|gti}} no Evolution requirement,{{sup/md|smd}} or {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.{{sup/md|dx}}

====Friendship-based moves====
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the friendship-based [[move]]s (such as {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}) use the Pokémon's [[IQ]]{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}{{sup/md|blstli}} or the number of dungeons that the player has been to.{{sup/md|gti}}{{sup/md|smd}}{{sup/md|dx}}

===Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
[[File:Happy Mood SoA.png|frame|Two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a ''Happy Mood'']]
Friendship also has an effect in the second game of the [[Pokémon Ranger series]]. {{ra|Partner Pokémon}} can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is in a ''Happy Mood'', black musical notes appear to come out of it. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is ''Very Happy''. This may happen whether or not it is with the {{player}}. This state of mind increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up due to more Partner Energy being provided.

===Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire ===
{{main|Friendship Evolution|section=Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}

In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the concept of [[friendship Evolution]] is represented by obtaining hearts to evolve certain Pokémon in the Evolution Mode.

==In animation==
[[File:Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Pikachu in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the bond between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has been a theme since [[EP001|the first episode]], in which {{Ash}} had trouble to form a friendship with his newly obtained {{AP|Pikachu}}. After risking his safety to protect Pikachu from a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}, he had earned Pikachu's trust, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Pokémon that have friendly relationships with their Trainers are said to perform better in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Ash believes that befriending a Pokémon will make it grow stronger, and he treats {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|all his Pokémon}} with utmost care and respect. However, throughout the series, some Trainers have been shown to focus on raw strength alone, disregarding their Pokémon's feelings and well being. Examples include [[Paul]] and [[Cross]].

Aside from regular battles, friendship is valued in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, since the level of cooperation between {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and Pokémon is observed by the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] during the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]]. Additionally, in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]], Coordinators are expected to be in synchronicity with their Pokémon the entire time. In ''[[AG078|Cruisin' for a Losin'<nowiki/>]]'', the Director of the {{pkmn|Activities Committee|Contest Committee}}, [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], stated that a Pokémon's well being must be the number one priority of a Coordinator.

In the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Contest Master [[Wallace]] stressed the importance of kinship. He also said that playing with Pokémon can help Trainers and Coordinators in learning how to bring out the potential of their Pokémon. In addition to enhancing a Pokémon's appearance, {{pkmn|groomer|Pokémon grooming}} is said to make them happier. Trainers who devote themselves to the development of techniques that improve a Pokémon's health and happiness are known as {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s. Some people study to become [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s to be able to identify the compatibility between Trainers and Pokémon and then offer advice on how to strengthen their friendship.

Just like in the {{pkmn|games}}, friendship affects the [[power]] of {{m|Frustration}}. This was shown in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'', in which [[Harley]]'s {{p|Banette}} received a boost while using the [[move]] under the command of [[Jessie]], a Trainer it does not like. Although the concept of [[Friendship Evolution]] has not been addressed directly, the [[Soothe Bell]] has appeared in ''Pokémon the Series''. In {{aniseries|XY}}, the friendship between Ash and his {{AP|Greninja}} triggered a temporary transformation known as the [[Bond Phenomenon]].

In contrast with the games, where a Pokémon of a certain [[level]] will only obey its Trainer if the Trainer possesses specific achievements, disobedient Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' will gain respect for their Trainers after realizing how far the Trainer is willing to go to befriend, protect, and care for the Pokémon.

==Trivia ==
* In all [[core series]] games from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation VII]], every [[Non-player character|non-playable]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon that knows {{m|Frustration}} or is in {{v2|Emerald}}'s {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} has 0 friendship, and all other NPCs' Pokémon in those generations have 255 friendship.
* The instruction manual for the original version of ''Pokémon Gold and Silver'' erroneously claims that happiness could be decreased by storing the Pokémon in the PC, and increased by just using any beneficial item on it. These are actually relics from Pikachu's happiness system in ''Pokémon Yellow'' and have no effect whatsoever on happiness in ''Pokémon Gold and Silver''.

Smoke Ball

2026-02-12T02:03:27Z

Keegster2: /* Intro */ Since it's likely some people accidentally reach this page trying to find the page for Smoke *Bomb*, I added an {{about}} to help them, like what I did on that item's own article.

{{about|the held item introduced in Generation II|the consumable item introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Smoke Bomb}}
{{ItemInfobox/head

The '''Smoke Ball''' (Japanese: '''けむりだま''' ''Smoke Ball'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It guarantees the holder can [[escape|flee]] from [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===

===Effect===
[[File:Smoke Ball escape III.png|frame|Animation for escaping via Smoke Ball in Generation III]]
====Held item====
{{MoveResearch|Does it allow roaming Pokémon to bypass trapping moves and Abilities, and if so, does it play a special animation when they flee in Generation III?<br>If a player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints and the player chooses to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, are they guaranteed to escape in Generation II?<br>In Generation II, does it allow the player to flee from Team Rocket Hideout traps, GS Ball Celebi, Tin Tower Suicune (in Crystal), or the scripted Red Gyarados?}}
=====Generation II=====
If held by the {{player}}'s Pokémon, [[escape|fleeing]] from a [[wild Pokémon]] is guaranteed to succeed. It does not ignore {{cat|trapping moves}}.

=====Generations III and IV=====
If held by a Pokémon, it can [[escape|flee]] and {{m|Teleport}} successfully, regardless of {{cat|trapping moves}} and {{cat|Trapping Abilities|Abilities}}. If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they will escape without fail.

In Generation III only, the Smoke Ball plays a special animation when used.

=====Generation V=====
Wild Pokémon cannot successfully Teleport while trapped, even if they hold a Smoke Ball.

If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, the player is no longer guaranteed to flee successfully.

=====Generation VI onward=====
If held by a Pokémon, it can {{m|Teleport}} successfully, regardless of {{cat|trapping moves}} and {{cat|Trapping Abilities|Abilities}}.

If the {{p|Nihilego}} encountered at [[Aether Paradise]] is given a Smoke Ball, it will be able to flee on turn 5 of the battle even if it is trapped.

Smoke Bomb

2026-02-12T02:00:10Z

Keegster2: I keep mixing up this item's name with the Smoke Ball, and I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Added an {{about}} at the top, for those who make that mistake.

===Effect===
When thrown, a Smoke Bomb creates a cloud of smoke with a wide radius that lingers for approximately 25 seconds. The {{player}} can sneak in the smoke like in tall grass, allowing them to sneak up on [[wild Pokémon]] without being noticed.

GB Sounds

The '''GB Sounds''' or simply '''GB Sounds''' (Japanese: '''ＧＢプレイヤー''' ''GB Player'') is a type of [[Key Item]] exclusive to {{Game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==In the core series games==
===Effect===
====Manual activation====
The item changes the background music to {{wp|chiptune}}-like rearrangements of the tracks in the area that are similar to the original ones from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. Sound effects and radio music are unaffected by GB Sounds.

| {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}
| [[Celadon Condominiums]] 3F (from [[Game Freak]] sound designer after obtaining all 16 [[Badge]]s)
|}
|}

==Music information==
===Changes===
Although the old-style tracks are supposed to sound like the original tracks from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, none of them sound exactly like the originals. This is mainly due to the way chiptunes are handled on the [[Nintendo DS]]. The capabilities of the {{wp|programmable sound generator|PSG}} found in the DS line is limited compared to the one found in the [[Game Boy]] line. The DS PSG has fixed square wave and noise channels like the Game Boy PSG, but lacks the crucial 4-bit wavetable synthesis channel, which renders the DS incapable of generating the variety of different waveforms the Game Boy could. This means that parts played using the 4-bit wavetable synthesis channel in the original tracks are approximated using square waves, leading some parts to sound vastly different. In addition, some tracks have altered {{wp|tempo}}s and missing notes; {{wp|reverb}} not heard in the original compositions has also been added.

===Additions===
{{main|Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection}}
Several tracks that are absent in the original {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} have received old-style rearrangements. Examples include ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Global Terminal]]'' and ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Route 47]]''. Despite this, none of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities, except for the outside area and the {{si|Battle Tower}}, received an old-style rearrangement. {{pkmn|battle|Battling}} in the facilities at the Battle Frontier with GB Sounds active will also result in the old-style ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Trainer Battle—Johto Version)]]'' being used. This effect is reverted when battling a {{DL|Frontier Brain|Sinnoh/Johto Frontier Brains|Frontier Brain}}.

===Limitations===
Some of the original tracks from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, such as ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Professor Oak]]'' and ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Opening Movie (Pokémon Gold & Pokémon Silver)]]'', cannot normally be listened to with GB Sounds. To solve this issue, the {{DL|Radio|Pokémon Music Channel}} hosts the ''Pokémon Past Archive'' program every [[days of the week|Sunday]], which features these chiptune tracks in addition to a few others, such as all the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounter themes.

The game data has GB Sounds versions of two tracks that are only accessible on the radio: [[Radio#Mysterious Transmission|Mysterious Transmission]] and [[Radio#Radio Transmission|Radio Transmission]]. As GB Sounds does not affect radio tracks, and they are not included in the ''Pokémon Past Archive'' program, these versions are unable to be heard in-game, even if GB Sounds is [[Cheating|cheated]] in early.

===Oddities===
If active during a [[Bug-Catching Contest]], GB Sounds will not switch to the old-style version of ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|National Park]]'' during the contest results; however, it'll perform the switch after the results are announced.

There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|GB Sounds muting glitch|a glitch}} which results in the music being muted on {{rt|20|Kanto}} or [[Cinnabar Island]].

GB Sounds does not affect the unused SEQ_DUMMY (played in the [[Mystery Zone]]s) or SEQ_TEST_TITLE tracks, which are mere copies of the regular ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Route 29]]''.

Talk:Miracle Cycle

2026-02-09T22:30:44Z

Keegster2: /* Possible English title? */ What we English-speaking fans know primarily as "Miracle Cycle" might just be better known as "Cerulean Bike".

== Possible English title? ==

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the sign of the Cerulean City bike shop refers to the building as "Cerulean Bike Main Shop". Given that the only other Miracle Cycle store is located in Goldenrod, it's possible that "'''Cerulean Bike'''" is the official name of the bike shop in English. While the Goldenrod store calls itself "Bike Shop Goldenrod Branch", the Cerulean store's sign not using the "Bike Shop" name suggests that it's intended to be a proper name.

Fighting Dojo

2026-02-09T21:17:01Z

Keegster2: /* Generation IV */ "Is" is capitalized in-game. And besides, if you're using title case, you ALWAYS capitalize "Is", as it's a verb.

}}
The '''Fighting Dojo''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|格闘道場|かくとうどうじょう}}''' ''Fighting Dojo'') is a former [[Gym|Pokémon Gym]] located in [[Saffron City]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the Fighting Dojo hosts {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who specialize in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation IV]], the [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[region]]s convene here and may be challenged to a rematch.

===Generation I===
[[File:Fighting Dojo RBY.png|thumb|Generation I Fighting Dojo]]
{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|title|Fighting Dojo}}
{{sign|RBY|}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}
The Fighting Dojo was first seen in the [[Generation I]] games, positioned to the west of the [[Saffron Gym]]. In these early games, it was established that Saffron City once had two [[Gym]]s, but the Fighting Dojo lost its Gym status after losing a unification match to the Saffron Gym. Due to the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]] that Saffron Gym's {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon had over the Fighting Dojo's Fighting-type Pokémon, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official gym.

Although no [[Badge]] can be won in the Dojo, the unofficial Gym remains open and continues to accept challenges. Four {{tc|Black Belt}}s test the {{player}}'s abilities before the player can challenge their master, the [[Koichi|Karate Master]]. The reward for defeating him is a choice between {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}}; both Pokémon are at level 30.

Unlike other Gyms, the Fighting Dojo has a simple design which has not changed much over the generations. Between its appearances from the Generation I games to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Dojo has maintained a wooden floor with no mazes or puzzles to solve. Pure strength and battle strategy is needed to succeed in here.

The two banners on the wall of the Dojo read "''Struggle for vengeance!''" and "''A complicated fracture.''"

===Generation II===
{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Everyone Welcome!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|Fighting Dojo}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

The most significant change in the [[Generation II]] games is that no Trainers can be battled here. Only one student remains, and he informs the player that the master of the Dojo has gone to [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Mortar]] to train. In this [[generation]], the master of the Dojo is known as the Karate King, and his name is [[Kiyo]] (Japanese: ノブヒコ ''Nobuhiko''). The sign outside the Dojo indicates that anyone is welcome to use it.

At the Dojo, there are two scrolls behind the student that say "''What goes around comes around!''" and "''Enemies on every side!''"

===Generation III===
{{sign|FRLG|header}}
{{sign|FRLG|title|Fighting Dojo}}
{{sign|FRLG|footer}}
{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} pose the same challenge to {{player}}s as the original [[Generation I]] games. The key difference apart from the obvious aesthetic changes is the level of the [[gift Pokémon]], which are now level 25.

The master of the Dojo is once again called the Karate Master, and his name is revealed to be [[Koichi]] (Japanese: タケノリ ''Takenori'').

===Generation IV===
[[File:Fighting Dojo HGSS.png|thumb|Generation IV Fighting Dojo with all the Gym Leaders]]
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|Everyone Is Welcome!}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Fighting Dojo}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}
{{main|Fighting Dojo/Generation IV}}
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Fighting Dojo is similar to [[Generation II]]. The same student is the only one left and the dojo's master—Kiyo, the Karate King—is once again training at [[Mt. Mortar]] in [[Johto]].

The student at the Dojo also informs the {{player}} that the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and Johto are allowed to use the Dojo to hold [[rematch]]es with them, much like how the [[Sinnoh]] Gym Leaders can be found for a rematch at the [[Battleground]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, unlike Platinum, the Leaders will not arrive at the Dojo until they have been called on for a rematch.

According to the [[radio]] show "That Town, These People", the Fighting Dojo is the second-best location in [[Saffron City]]. Trainers who enjoy Pokémon battles can gather and converse at the Dojo.

===Generation VII===
''Fighting Dojo''

The Fighting Dojo challenge in {{LGPE}} is similar to FireRed and LeafGreen, including the final opponent being named Koichi, though a small difference is that he uses the Trainer class Karate Master (Japanese: からてだいおう ''Great Karate King'') instead of Black Belt. The Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan the player can receive are placed back at level 30 to better fit with the game's level curve, and the burden of choice is lessened, as the player can catch more Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan at {{ka|Victory Road}} as rare spawns. In addition, the Dojo has an additional {{tc|Coach Trainer}} who will reward them with {{TM|23|Thunder Punch}}. After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, two [[Master Trainer|Master]] {{tc|Black Belt}}s can be found here who, fittingly, specialize in Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan.

==In animation==
[[File:Fighting Dojo anime.png|thumb|250px|The Fighting Dojo in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Karate Master [[Kiyo]] appeared in ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]''. However, in {{aniseries|PTS}}, he doesn't seem to be related to the Fighting Dojo.

===={{aniseries|AG}}====
The Dojo debuted in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', being incorrectly referred to as the "Pokémon Dojo" in the English [[dub]]. The Dojo's leader, [[Master Hamm]], wanted his son [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] to take over the Dojo, but Kyle wanted to run his noodle restaurant instead. They decided to have a [[Pokémon battle]] to settle their differences, but Master Hamm blew his back during the battle, preventing him from finishing the fight. As such, he chose to let {{Ash}} fight in his stead, while Kyle chose {{an|May}} to battle in his place. After a bit of sparring to get used to Master Hamm and Kyle's {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon, Ash and May restarted the battle. However, the battle was interrupted again, this time by {{TRT}}, who tried to steal the Fighting-type Pokémon for themselves, but were stopped by [[Terri]]. In the end, Master Hamm let Kyle follow his dream of selling noodles, appointing Terri as his successor instead.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The Dojo reappeared in ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', when Ash visited it to battle the [[Koichi|Karate Master]], implying in the process that Terri stepped down as the master at some point prior to ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. While there, [[Goh]] struggled to choose between getting a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. When Ash went to battle the Karate Master, he discovered he'd just been beaten by [[Bea]] and had a [[World Coronation Series]] battle against her, only to be defeated. Afterwards, Goh successfully defeated the Karate Master and received a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}} as a prize.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kiyo PO.png|thumb|250px|The Fighting Dojo in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} visited the Fighting Dojo in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', soon after defeating [[Sabrina]]. He defeated the Karate Master off-screen, obtaining his {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a prize of his victory.

[[File:Fighting Dojo interior Zensho.png|thumb|left|150px|The Fighting Dojo interior in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
===Pokémon Zensho===
The Fighting Dojo appeared in [[PZ07]], where {{zensho|Satoshi}} was invited there by the [[Koichi|Dojo Master]]. He told the young Trainer how {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, Satoshi's [[rival]], had recently beaten [[Sabrina]], and she was now trying to sneak into the [[Silph Co.]] building in order to save company from [[Team Rocket]].

==Trivia==
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, despite many [[Gym Leader]]s owning Pokémon that are dual-type with another Leader's specialty, only {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Pidgeot}} are used by more than one Leader. [[Lt. Surge]] and [[Jasmine]] both use Magnezone, while [[Falkner]] and {{ga|Blue}} both use Pidgeot.
* [[Morty]] is the only Gym Leader that uses multiple Pokémon of the same species in his rematch, with his two {{p|Gengar}}.
* [[Clair]] is the only Gym Leader that does not use any [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon in her rematch.
** She is also the only Gym Leader (other than Blue, who does not specialize in a type) to use Pokémon not of her type specialty in her rematch.
* [[Erika]] and [[Sabrina]] pay out lower amounts of [[prize money]] after their rematches than they do after their respective [[Gym]] battles.
* In [[Generation IV]], while the {{player}} is in the Fighting Dojo, all Gym Leaders will respond to a [[Pokégear#Phone|call]] by saying that they are getting bad reception and suggest that the player call from a different place.
* The Gym Leaders from [[Johto]] all appear on the left side of the Dojo, while the Gym Leaders from [[Kanto]] appear on the right side. This is most likely meant to represent the position of the two different [[region]]s that the Gym Leaders come from.

===Cross-generational references===
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{tc|Black Belt}} Thomas at [[Icirrus Gym]] says he is from the Fighting Dojo.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], either [[Koichi]] or [[Kiyo]] can be found from [[Lumiose City]], trying to start a new Fighting Dojo in an apartment he has rented.
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], a Black Belt on [[Mount Lanakila]] says that he and his fellow Black Belts next to him are from the Fighting Dojo.
* In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], {{tc|Gym Challenger}} Deneb says that she traveled to Kanto to train at the Fighting Dojo.

Blackthorn Gym

2026-02-08T08:37:10Z

Keegster2: /* Round 2 */ Fixed an image link in Clair's infobox. Looks like someone might have removed a 0 when they meant to add one.

The '''Blackthorn Gym''' (Japanese: '''フスベジム''' ''Fusube Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Blackthorn City]]. It is based on {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Clair]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rising}}.

An {{tc|Ace Trainer}} will prevent access to the Gym itself until the player has at least seven of the eight Johto Badges and has defeated [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], though there is no legitimate way to access Blackthorn with fewer than seven Badges.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym Leader Clair is on a platform in the middle of red-hot lava, and the player must go to the second floor, where a {{m|Strength}} puzzle must be completed. Once the puzzle is completed, the [[Movable boulder|boulders]] pushed down the correct holes form bridges across the lava, allowing the player to reach Clair. Even after being defeated, Clair does not consider the player ready to challenge the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] and refuses to hand over the {{badge|Rising}}, forcing the player to go to the [[Dragon's Den]] and complete a trial before the Badge can be acquired.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, immediately after entering the Gym, the [[Gym guide]] tells the player to return their [[walking Pokémon]] back to its [[Poké Ball]]. After this, the player has to navigate on platforms floating on lava, using arrows on them to move them and the blue buttons on them to spin them. After three platforms and several Trainers, the player will reach Clair and battle her. Like in [[Generation II]], after being defeated, Clair still deems the player unready for the Pokémon League and refuses to hand over the Badge before the player has completed the challenge at the Dragon's Den.

[[File:Blackthorn Gym Battlefield.png|thumb|left|250px|Blackthorn Gym's battlefield in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Blackthorn Gym has a retractable roof, which is used when both Clair and the opponent's Pokémon can use flight in one way or another. In {{aniseries|GS}}, the Gym battlefield also had a pool of water at its center, but in {{aniseries|BW}}, it is no longer there.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
The Blackthorn Gym first appeared at the end of ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', {{Ash}} challenged Clair to a {{pkmn|battle}} for his final [[Johto League]] Badge. Although he battled hard, Ash wasn't doing very well and was constantly outmaneuvered by Clair. However, before the battle could end, an alarm went off, alerting Clair that somebody had stolen the [[Dragon Fang]] kept at the Gym. She told Ash that the battle would have to continue some other time, causing the match to be interrupted.

After dealing with {{TRT}} and returning the Dragon Fang, Ash and Clair had a second battle in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. This time, Ash came prepared with his {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Charizard}}. Thanks to them, he was much more successful than during his previous attempt, and was able to earn himself a {{badge|Rising}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The Blackthorn Gym later made a brief cameo in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' during {{an|Lyra}}'s presentation of [[Johto]] at the [[Johto Festival]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In [[BWS02]], {{an|Iris}} visited the Gym and had a battle with Clair, using her {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} against Clair's {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}}. After a hard-fought battle, Clair and Druddigon emerged victorious.

She went on a rampage when {{TRT}} tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', but she calmed down later on in that episode.

Clair was revealed to had caught the Dragonite in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.

Dragonite's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Outrage}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}{{tt|*|Dragonite cannot legally learn Whirlwind}}.}}

In the first battle, Ash first decided to use Pikachu, but as Pikachu's attacks didn't have that much effect on Kingdra, Ash switched to {{AP|Noctowl}}, who struggled against it and was close to being defeated when the match was interrupted due to Team Rocket stealing the [[Dragon Fang]].

During the rematch, Kingdra put up a good fight against [[Ash's Snorlax]], but was eventually beaten in endurance and taken down with an {{m|Ice Punch}}.

Kingdra's known moves are {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|Hyper Beam}}.}}

Gyarados's known moves are {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and {{m|Bite}}.}}

|desc={{p|Dragonair}} is Clair's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a {{p|Dratini}}, when it was shedding its skin and Clair was protecting it at that time. When {{TRT}} tried to steal Dratini, Clair protected it which led it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a Dragonair. With its new powers, Dragonair easily defeated Team Rocket.

Clair also used her Dragonair in the rematch against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With its speed and power, it defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} easily. With a wide range of moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, it proved to be a tough challenge for {{AP|Charizard}} as well. Eventually, however, it was defeated by Charizard's {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{Badge|Rising}}.}}

It was attacked by Team Rocket, but [[Blasting off|blasted them off]] and went into a rampage. Clair was able to calm it and it decided to join her party.

Druddigon reappeared in [[BWS02]], battling against [[Iris's Dragonite]] and winning.

Druddigon's known moves are {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Outrage}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Blackthorn Gym Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Blackthorn Gym in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Blackthorn Gym appeared in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where Clair was seen battling her apprentice [[Ryu]] at the Gym, easily defeating his {{p|Seadra}} with her Dragonair before heading to the Dragon's Den.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Blackthorn Gym Battlefield PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Blackthorn Gym battlefield in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
[[File:Blackthorn Gym PM.png|thumb|200px|Blackthorn Gym in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
The Blackthorn Gym appeared in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle…?!]]''. {{PPM|Green}} entered the Gym to impress Clair, but he and his {{TP|Green|Charizard}} were badly beaten by her. As {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon went inside, they had to get past a river full of lava in order to get to Clair. Even though the group was burned in the process, Clair cooled them off with a water bucket and challenged Red to a battle using Dragonair. Despite Dragonair being a tough opponent, Red was able to defeat it with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}}, although their {{m|Double Team}} clones caused some trouble in the end.

==Trivia==
* In the games, the [[Cianwood Gym]], the Blackthorn Gym, and the [[Celadon Gym]] are the only Gyms that require the use of an [[HM]], as part of a Gym puzzle, in order to progress. Cianwood and Blackthorn's Gyms require {{m|Strength}} in Generation II, while Celadon's requires {{m|Cut}} in all generations except [[Generation II]].
* This is the only Gym in any Pokémon game where the player doesn't obtain the Gym's [[Badge]] after defeating the Gym Leader.
* This is one of the few places in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where the player is required to keep their Pokémon inside of its [[Poké Ball]].
** However, if the lead Pokémon in the party is fainted, the next unfainted Pokémon will be outside of its ball in the Gym.
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the dark colored-lava on the floor of the Gym resembles a dragon, with its tail at the Gym entrance and mouth at the back of the Gym.
* Blackthorn Gym is the only Gym in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} to have more than one Gym Trainer of the same Trainer class.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the player obtains a [[Dragon Fang]] through [[trade|trading]] before obtaining one from [[Dragon's Den]] and shows it to Clair, she will accuse the player of trying to cheat and not give them the Badge.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player [[black out|whites out]] due to {{status|poison}} damage while still inside the Dragon Shrine in Dragon's Den after receiving the Rising Badge, they can return to the Blackthorn Gym to receive the reward TM from Clair. However, if the player then returns to Dragon's Den and stands on the tile directly in front of the Dragon Shrine's door, Clair will appear again and give the player another TM24.

'''First Impression''' (Japanese: '''であいがしら''' ''Head-on Collision'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was the signature move of [[Golisopod (Pokémon)|Golisopod]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via [[Pokémon breeding|breeding]]. It is [[TM142]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Effect==
First Impression inflicts damage. It has a [[priority]] of +2, and is used before moves of lower priority.

First Impression always fails if it is used after the first turn the user is out, or if the move is called by {{m|Instruct}}.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
First Impression cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
First Impression cannot be selected if the Pokémon has used a move after being sent out in battle. However, it can be freely used outside of battle for activities such as breaking Mega Crystals. First Impression otherwise has the same behavior as other priority moves in Z-A such as {{m|Extreme Speed}} or {{m|Quick Attack}}; the user is briefly intangible while dashing to make contact with their target.

If First Impression is used to surprise attack a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in a [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|battle zone]], it does not count as being used in battle, and thus can be used again with no cooldown after the battle begins.

When used as a [[Plus Move]], First Impression always results in a [[critical hit]].

==Trivia==
* First Impression has the highest base power of all [[priority]] moves.
* First Impression may be based on the concept of {{wp|insect fighting}}, which is an activity that involves putting two bugs, most commonly beetles, in a small, ringed-shaped arena and having them fight. These fights usually start with the bugs colliding headfirst into one another<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II0_Od6FnJU</ref>. This could explain the move's {{t|Bug}} [[type]], Japanese name ('''であいがしら''' ''Head-on Collision''), priority status, and why it can only be used on the first turn the user is out.
* {{p|Sirfetch'd}} being able to learn this move may be a reference to {{wp|jousting}}.

Pyukumuku (Pokémon)

2026-02-03T05:26:52Z

Keegster2: /* Trivia */ "The Sun and Moon anime" sounds so weird and incorrect, it's amusing. Personally, I usually call the different parts of Pokémon the Series pre-Journeys "the [region] saga" depending on where they take place.

'''Pyukumuku''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマコブシ''' ''Namakobushi'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Pyukumuku SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Pyukumuku for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Pyukumuku is an {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an ovoid, black body. Its face has two beady, pink eyes and a white mouth shaped roughly like a star or {{wp|Gozan no Okuribi|Daimonji}}. This Pokémon is capable of spitting its organs out through its mouth. The white organs can take different shapes, such as a fist. Two lines of three pink spikes run down each side of its back. The middle spike of each line is about twice as long as the others are. A fluffy white puff forms its tail.

Pyukumuku tends to find a spot it likes and stay there, even returning to the same spot if moved. Once all the food in its favorite spot has been consumed, it will continue to stay there to the point of starvation. Its body is coated with a viscous fluid that allows it to stay on land for a week without drying out. This fluid is also beneficial to people as a moisturizer. If stepped on, it will expel its fist-like organs and smack the perpetrator. It particularly hates having its mouth or spikes touched. Tourists dislike Pyukumuku due to its appearance and lifestyle and often accidentally step on Pyukumuku. This creates a need for part-time jobs on beaches chucking this Pokémon back into the sea. However, people in Alola have already taken to throwing the Pokémon back to the sea where it can find food when thin.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/pyukumuku/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Pyukumuku]</ref> Pyukumuku is shown to have a symbiotic relationship with {{p|Pelipper}}, which carries it after scooping it from the water.

Pyukumuku is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Purify}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Innards Out}} as an [[Ability]].

[[File:Goh Pyukumuku.png|thumb|250px|Pyukumuku in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Goh's Pyukumuku]]====
In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', [[Goh]] caught a Pyukumuku while visiting [[Alola]].

====Other====
A Pyukumuku appeared in ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', where it was used to try and scare [[Harper and Sarah]] at the [[Pokémon School]]. Instead, they touched Pyukumuku, who promptly retaliated by punching {{Rotom}}.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn2|wild}} Pyukumuku debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where it startled {{Ash}} underwater when it gave him the thumbs-up.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pyukumuku appeared in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]''.

Two Pyukumuku appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]''.

A Pyukumuku appeared in ''[[SM056|Let Sleeping Pokémon Lie!]]''. As {{an|Professor Burnet}} was studying it underwater with {{Rotom}}, Ash touched it, only for Pyukumuku to punch him in the face.

A Trainer's Pyukumuku appeared in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', where it was among the Pokémon seen at the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]].

A Pyukumuku appeared in the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] segment at the end of ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]''. A wild [[Sandy|Eevee]] came across it on the beach of [[Melemele Island]] and cuddled it, causing it to attack Eevee out of anger. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]''.

Pyukumuku appears as a Pokémon summoned from the {{i|Poké Ball}}. It uses {{m|Counter}} whenever an opponent gets close enough to it. Pyukumuku then waves "goodbye" before it leaves. It can also be picked up and thrown like an item. If the summoner jumps on Pyukumuku, it will make a punch and the player bounces a little. Pyukumuku also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Pyukumuku has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Pyukumuku is also tied with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Munchlax}} for the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon.
* Prior to their removals in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pyukumuku is the only Pokémon that can learn [[TM]]s outside of [[move]]s it learns by leveling up that cannot learn {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Frustration}}, or {{m|Return}}.
* In the Japanese version of {{aniseries|SM}}, when taking photos, characters would say Pyukumuku's Japanese name (Namakobushi), as saying the word naturally makes the mouth form a smile with the teeth showing - similar to saying 'cheese'.
** This is replaced by the phrase "Smiling {{p|Eevee}}" in the English dub.

===Origin===
Pyukumuku may be based on a {{wp|sea cucumber}}, some species of which expel their {{wp|Cuvierian tubules}} (part of the sea cucumber's respiratory system) to deter would-be predators from eating them. Given its tail and "ears", it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Jorunna parva|sea bunny}}, a type of sea slug that became popular in Japan in 2015 due to its cute appearance. It may also resemble {{wp|Wiwaxia}}, a kind of ancient soft-bodied sea creature. Its innards appear to be based on a human fist.

====Name origin====
Pyukumuku may be a combination of ''puke'', ''cucumber'', and ''mucus''.

Namakobushi may be a combination of 海鼠 ''namako'' (sea cucumber) and 拳 ''kobushi'' (fist).

Protection

2026-02-03T02:05:27Z

Keegster2: /* Moves that protect only the user */ wiki users have a growing chance of failure to use colons and provide links if pokémon legends: z-a is mentioned

{{Incomplete|needs=Side game and spin-off information}}
[[File:Protect IX.png|thumb|350px|{{p|Crabrawler}} using {{m|Protect}} in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]]]
A '''protected''' Pokémon is unaffected by moves of a certain class during that turn. Many protection moves protect against all damaging moves.

This effect may be described as "evades all attacks" or "negates all damage".

==List of protection moves==
===Moves that protect only the user===
All of these moves protect the user from damaging moves, and some also protect it from [[status moves]]. With the sole exception of the Max Move {{m|Max Guard}}, they're all {{DL|Move variations|variations of Protect}}.

They (plus {{m|Endure}}) have a growing chance of failure if used consecutively (except in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}). This applies across moves: if a Pokémon uses {{m|Obstruct}} and then Endure, Endure may fail.

===Moves that protect the user's side of the field===
These moves protect the user as well as its allies, either only from non-damaging moves or with restrictive conditions.

Since [[Generation VI]], the success of these moves is not tied to any other move—a notable distinction from the moves that protect only the user. However, {{m|Quick Guard}} and {{m|Wide Guard}} do affect the failure chances of the moves listed in the section above. In [[Generation V]] only, Quick Guard and Wide Guard also had to pass the same [[#Failure chances|failure check]] as protection moves that protect only the user.

==Mechanics==
Protection fundamentally grants a turn of invulnerability from moves used directly by other Pokémon. It does not affect damage done at the end of a turn, such as {{status|poison}}, {{status|burn}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, {{m|Curse}}, [[seeding]], [[bound|binding]], {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|hail}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, or {{m|Doom Desire}}; or the countdown of {{m|Perish Song}} or {{a|Perish Body}}.

{{cat|Moves that do damage through protection|Some moves}} deal damage to Pokémon through protection. {{m|Hyper Drill}}, {{m|Mighty Cleave}}, {{m|G-Max One Blow}}, and {{m|G-Max Rapid Flow}} deal full damage through protection. All other damaging [[Z-Move]]s, [[Max Move]]s, and [[G-Max Move]]s are partially protected and deal 1/4 of their original damage. {{cat|Moves that break protection}}, like {{m|Feint}}, will deal full damage and remove the effects of protection.

The [[Ability]] {{a|Unseen Fist}} allows all [[contact]] moves to bypass protection moves.

The Max Move {{m|Max Guard}} behaves differently than other protection moves. Only Feint, G-Max One Blow, and G-Max Rapid Flow will deal damage through Max Guard, but no move will remove its protection effect. Max Guard also protects the user from [[#Unprotectable moves|some other moves]] that regular protection does not.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} only, due to [[List of glitches in Generation IV#Protection bypass glitch|a bug]], if an attack is given perfect accuracy through the effect of a move (such as {{m|Lock-On}}), the weather (such as {{m|Blizzard}} under hail), or an Ability (like {{a|No Guard}}), it ignores protection with inverted accuracy. [[One-hit knockout move]]s are unaffected by this bug and will not hit through protection. This bug was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}.

In [[Generation VI]], protection would not activate for moves that the user was immune to. Primarily, this meant that {{m|King's Shield}} and {{m|Spiky Shield}}'s negative effects would not activate.

===Unprotectable moves===
The moves marked with a ✔ below are not affected by most protection moves.

{{m|Mat Block}} and {{m|Crafty Shield}} are not affected by this list. Mat Block has no exceptions aside from {{cat|moves that do damage through protection}}, and Crafty Shield protects against all status moves except those the user uses on itself, {{cat|Moves that target the user and all allies|moves that target the user's side of the field}}, {{cat|moves that target all Pokémon}}, and [[entry hazard]]s.

Max Guard also protects against a few moves below that other protection moves do not: {{m|Block}}, {{m|Flower Shield}}, {{m|Gear Up}}, {{m|Magnetic Flux}}, {{m|Phantom Force}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Shadow Force}}, {{m|Teatime}}, and {{m|Transform}}.

===Moves that break protection===
These moves will deal damage through any protection move and will lift their protection, with the sole exception of Max Guard. Even if one of these moves makes [[contact]], it will not suffer the negative effect of moves like {{m|King's Shield}}. Also, in Pokémon Legends Z-A, all offensive [[Plus Move|Plus Moves]] will also deal damage through any protection moves.

===Failure chances===
{{MoveResearch|Check whether [[Ally Switch]] on [[Generation IX]] onwards affect and/or be affected by this success rate mechanic.}}
Each time a move in the first column in the table below is successfully used without other moves used in between, the subsequent success rate for any of the moves in the second column drops.
{| class="roundtable" style="background: #{{normal color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{normal color}}; text-align: center; margin: auto"
|-
! Moves that decrease success rate
! Moves that check success rate

| {{m|Endure}}<br>{{DL||Moves that protect the user}}<br><small>'''Generation V only:'''<br>{{m|Quick Guard}}<br>{{m|Wide Guard}}</small>
|}

From [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]], the success rate halves each time. Since [[Generation VI]], the success rate is modified by thirds each time<ref>[https://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/moves/protect/ Protect | XY | Smogon Strategy Pokedex]</ref> (so after two successful uses, the success rate is 1/9).

In [[Generation IV]] only, the success rate will never drop below 12.5%; [[Generation III]] was intended to behave the same, but [[#Generation III–IV|a bug]] causes the rate to follow an erratic sequence after the fourth successful use.

If a protection move is broken or bypassed, or an [[item]] is used on the turn after a protection move, the success rate will not be reset.

====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], the failure check is implemented by comparing a threshold value to a random number (0 to 254), and if the random number is greater than or equal to the threshold, the move fails.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/51bad5a/battle/effects/protect.asm#L54-L61 Crystal protection failure check in pret disassembly on GitHub]</ref>

The threshold starts at 255 and is halved (with the remainder discarded) once for each time a protection move has been used consecutively (so halved once if they've been used twice). As such, the chances of the move succeeding (assuming the user went first and doesn't have a substitute) are T/255, where T is the threshold.

If the threshold reaches 0, then the move will automatically fail, and no random number will be generated. This means that the first use will always succeed (the random number is capped at 254, which is less than 255), while the ninth usage will never succeed, as all eight bits of the threshold will have been shifted out from the earlier halving.

====Generation III–IV====
In Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, the failure check is implemented by comparing a threshold value to a random number (0 to 65535), and if the random number is greater than the threshold, the move fails. The threshold value is taken from an explicitly defined table which starts with 65535, and subsequent values are equal to the previous value halved (with the remainder ignored). The table only has four values, meaning the success rate is meant to have a lower bound.

Two bugs affect the failure check prior to Generation IV. In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] only, the wrong comparison is made, so protection moves also fail if the threshold value equals the random value,<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/battle_script_commands.c#L6097 RS protection bug (wrong comparison) in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref> meaning a protection move has a 1/65536 chance (0.001%) of failing on the first use (and the chance of failing in subsequent turns is also greater); this was fixed in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/9aaabcc30da51bea0c47d6e5df1dc6f8f534991c/src/battle_script_commands.c#L6231 FRLG protection correct comparison in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref> In all Generation III games, the number of protection uses is incremented with no regard for the limits of the table,<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/battle_script_commands.c#L6109 RS unbounded protection rate in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref><ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/9aaabcc30da51bea0c47d6e5df1dc6f8f534991c/src/battle_script_commands.c#L6243 FRLG unbounded protection rate in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref><ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/4736b4b14d93873741b31aeb21f0fe739a0acc05/src/battle_script_commands.c#L6496 Em unbounded protection rate in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref> resulting in erratic values being retrieved after four successful turns; in Generation IV, this was fixed to prevent the counter from incrementing beyond the table's size.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeheartgold/blob/48eec075b5c67cbdbcd0af29ec95a5fedf5b55e6/src/battle_command.c#L3093 HGSS properly bounded protection rate in pret decompilation on GitHub]</ref>

====Generation V====
In [[Generation V]], the failure check is implemented by rolling a 32 bit value, and if the result is less than or equal to the threshold, it would pass. If the move is used in succession, (or with other protective moves), the success rate is halved until the 8th success. At 9+ successive turns, rather than the chance of success being halved, it only succeeds if the value rolled is <code>0x00000000</code>, making all attempts above turn 9 effectively a <math>1 / 2^{32}</math> (1/4294967295) chance of success.<ref>https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/commit/8f6313a70525a5f6adbba068c2d702c50f6d8373</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130412143628/http://www.upokecenter.com/dex/?lang=en&move=182</ref>

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], the failure check is implemented by picking a random number with a range of <code>X</code> (so that there are <code>X</code> values: 0 to <code>X-1</code>) and if the random number is 0, the move succeeds. <code>X</code> is taken from an explicitly defined table which starts with 1, and subsequent values are equal to the previous value multiplied by 3.<ref>[https://twitter.com/0x7bdf/status/591858756733931521 AJ Ringer on Twitter: "Protect is a 1/3^(min(protect_counter, 6)) chance for success in 6th gen. From DllBattle.cro."]</ref> The table only has seven values, giving the success rate a lower bound of approximately 0.1%. In general, the success rate is <math>1/3^T</math>, where <code>T</code> is the number of successful turns a protection move has been used.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, protections moves last for multiple turns. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, this was changed to only a single turn, like the core series games.

Lanturn (Pokémon)

Keegster2: /* Trivia */ Mentioning *which* Trainer in question has the Lanturn, rather than saying "a trainer", is a much better choice. Linking to the page all about these errors is also a good choice.

'''Lanturn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ランターン''' ''Lantern'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chinchou}} starting at [[level]] 27.

==Biology==
Lanturn is a blue {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an {{wp|anglerfish}}. It has big, red eyes with a yellow mask-like marking around them and small, light blue {{wp|fish fin|pectoral fins}}. The lower half of its tailfin is yellow with jagged edges. On its back is a Y-shaped antenna with a spherical orb at each tip; this antenna is a modification of its dorsal fin.

Inside its orbs are bacteria that produce light by absorbing Lanturn's bodily fluids. It lures prey using the glow, then blinds them by using an intense flash before it swallows them whole. The flash it creates is visible on the surface from a depth of over three miles (five kilometers). This has earned it the nickname ''The Deep-Sea Star''. Lanturn competes with {{p|Lumineon}} when catching its prey {{p|Starmie}}. {{p|Frillish}} and {{p|Sharpedo}} are natural predators of Lanturn. Lanturn inhabits the depths of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}.

===Evolution===
Lanturn evolves from {{p|Chinchou}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

Keegster2: /* Pokémon Challenges */ A number of corrections, and a number of links, too.

'''Challenges''' are missions for the player to complete in the mobile version of [[Pokémon HOME]].

Most challenges require the player to store specific Pokémon in Pokémon HOME. Some challenges require Pokémon with a certain [[game of origin]] (similar to {{OBP|Research Task|HOME}}s), and some require [[Trade|trading]]. Completing a challenge grants the player a sticker or wallpaper to decorate their binder with.

As of version 3.1.2 of Pokémon HOME, there are a total of 424 Challenges available, some of which are divided into bronze, silver, and gold levels. 

==List of Challenges==
===Pokémon Challenges===
These challenges can only be completed with certain Pokémon, Pokémon with certain [[Nature]]s, [[type]]s, or [[form]]s, or Pokémon in certain types of [[Poké Ball]].

==Trivia==
* With the 2.0 update, all the Pokémon HOME's challenges that reward a sticker with the cover artwork of specific versions went through a wording change. The region of origin was changed to the version title instead. For example, “Register Zamazenta from the Galar Region!” was changed to “Register Zamazenta from Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield!”.
** This helped clarifying some of the ambiguities such as “Register Eevee from the Kanto Region!”, which requires an Eevee from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!, and not Pokémon FireRed or Pokémon LeafGreen.
** An exception to this change is the Virtual Console exclusive titles, which remained "[...] from the good ol' Kanto region!" or "[...] from the good ol' Johto region!".

* The challenges “Register Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma from Alola!” and “Register Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, and Lunala from Alola!” have their description changed to “Register Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma from the Alola region!” and “Register Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, and Lunala from the Alola region!” respectively when the details are expanded in the “Challenge Rewards” view.
** The challenge "Have a Room Trade with 20 people in it!" has its description changed to "Host a Room Trade with 20 people in it!" when the details are expanded. This is a bug as the challenge does not require hosting the 20-person room trade.

* Notably, the sticker for “Register Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma from the Alola region!” depicts a scene from the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon versions, Dusk Mane {{p| Necrozma}} and Dawn Wings {{p| Necrozma}}, despite the challenge being described with a general "Alola region".

* The challenge "Deposit a Pokémon that has the Mightiest Mark!" is the only one to use Tier 1 but no other tiers, as opposed to being an untiered challenge. This results in it appearing as bronze instead of chrome.

* The challenges "Move Pokémon from Pokémon Bank!", "Register Diancie from Pokémon X or Pokémon Y!", "Register Eevee brought over using Poké Transporter!", "Register Litwick brought over using Poké Transporter!", and "Register Pulverizing Snorlax" have become hidden. They will still appear if completed, however.

'''Starmie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スターミー''' ''Starmie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Staryu}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

Starmie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Starmie''' using the [[Starminite]]. Mega Starmie was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Starmie is an {{wp|echinoderm}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles two violet {{wp|starfish}} with faceted skin and five appendages each. The front starfish has a golden formation in the center. In the center of the golden casing is its red jewel core, an exterior organ which can glow in seven colors and has developed to resemble a cut precious stone. The second starfish is semi-attached to the back of the first and can spin 360 degrees. This rotational action is how Starmie swims through the ocean. It can also launch itself out of the water and fly through the air for short periods, as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]].

From its core, Starmie can emit electrical waves that are powerful enough to reach the furthest parts of the universe. The multi-color glowing of its core is also believed to be a method of communication with other members of its species. As seen in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', the core will go dark if Starmie is knocked unconscious and will sometimes flicker if Starmie is low on health. Because of its body shape and habit of sending transmissions skyward, some people believe this Pokémon to be {{pkmn2|extraterrestrial}}. It has been known to cause headaches on people when approached. It is rarely seen in the wild since it requires a rare [[Evolution stone]] to evolve, but it can be found in the deepest parts of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}. It feeds by absorbing tiny plankton into its body while swimming, and it is preyed on by {{p|Lumineon}}.

===Forms===
Starmie can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Starmie.

Mega Starmie's physical appearance barely changes, with only its limbs becoming elongated and its lower body giving it a more humanlike appearance, as well as being a slightly brighter shade of purple. Four prongs on the core's gold casing become longer, resembling an "X". The tips of Mega Starmie's legs are stumpy and somewhat squished, resembling feet.

In addition to Mega Starmie's look, it also generally adopts more humanoid stances and movements thanks to its limbs becoming more flexible, now able to bend its elbows and knees, walk, and sprint. It is unclear whether these attempts to imitate [[human]]s are done in an effort to communicate with humanity or to supersede it outright. In {{aniseries|HZ}} and in its official artwork, Mega Starmie's body is shown to be distinctly glossy. It has also been shown to be able to survive the harsh conditions of outer space unassisted.

===Evolution===
Starmie evolves from {{p|Staryu}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
* {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}: A Starmie appears on the northernmost beach on {{rt|15|Alola}} alongside a {{tc|Fisherman}}. According to the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], the Starmie has been competing in starring contests against various Pokémon for a week. It had most recently beaten a {{p|Corsola}} and {{p|Slowpoke}} and refuses to leave the beach until it is dethroned. If the {{player}} presents a Pokémon that knows {{m|Tickle}}, the player's Pokémon will use the move against the Starmie, forcing it to lose the staring contest. The Fisherman gifts the player a [[Comet Shard]] for their trouble.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: Starmie runs the Sunken Treasure mini-game in [[Pokémon Paradise]]. In this mini-game, the player collects black, blue and red treasure chests by tilting their Nintendo 3DS. {{p|Chinchou}} and rocks appear as obstacles in this mini-game, and touching them deducts one treasure chest, starting with black chests. Unlike Treasure Boxes obtained from dungeons, they are opened upon obtaining. Starmie's mini-game can be played once every in-game day.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Starmie floats to the closest opponent and barrages them with {{m|Swift}}. Each hit does 3% damage, and touching Starmie itself does 12% damage. It has been replaced by its pre-evolved form Staryu in all future releases, in which it performs the same function.

==Trivia==
* Starmie is the only {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 3}}.
* {{p|Staryu}} was programmed to learn Egg moves in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, but these moves were unobtainable because both Staryu and Starmie are [[gender unknown]] and so could only breed with {{p|Ditto}}. These moves were removed in {{v2|Crystal}}.
* {{p|Staryu}}, Starmie, and {{p|Mew}} are the only Pokémon species that are [[gender unknown]] but can legitimately learn {{m|Attract}} in [[Generation II]]. This move has no effect when used by these Pokémon.
* In the Japanese-exclusive {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, Starmie seems to have originally been a lot more rubbery than it is now, as its limbs stretch whenever it is hit.
* Mega Starmie's base stat total is 140 points higher than its non-Mega Evolved form. That makes Starmie one of three Pokémon that gain more than 100 base stat points upon [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, alongside {{p|Medicham}} and {{p|Mawile}} (whose stats were reworked due to the game lacking {{Abilities}}).
** In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Mega Starmie has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}}, non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, and non-{{pkmn2|pseudo-legendary}} Mega Evolution, at 660.

===Origin===
Starmie seems to be based on a stylized {{wp|starfish}} such as the {{wp|purple sea star}} (due to its color), the {{wp|sunflower sea star}} (due to its many arms), or the {{wp|Celerina heffernani|Hefferman's starfish}} (due to its color and central pattern, especially in its {{Shiny}} variation). Like Starmie, many real starfish have the ability to {{wp|Starfish regeneration|regenerate}} lost body parts. Its [[gender unknown]] designation may be based on {{wp|asexual reproduction}} or {{wp|Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditism}}, observed in some real-life starfish species.

Given its ties to outer space and ability to emit light, Starmie may also be based on literal {{wp|star}}s and {{wp|meteor}}s. It is also reminiscent of ornate {{wp|jewelry}}, with its central core resembling a {{wp|facet}}ed gem mounted inside a golden {{wp|prong setting}}. The standard color of its gem resembles a {{wp|ruby}}, while its Shiny color resembles a {{wp|sapphire}}. Its tendency to rapidly spin its body is reminiscent of {{wp|shuriken}} and {{wp|propeller}}s.

Starmie’s ability to learn various beam attacks and the gem in the middle acting like a heart might also be a reference to the ''{{wp|Ultraman}}'' series, where Ultra Warriors have similar gems on their chests that start flashing when they are weak, just like Starmie's gem as shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. The possible ''Ultraman'' reference is further supported by Mega Starmie's humanoid appearance.

Mega Starmie may also reference the 1956 film ''{{wp|Warning from Space}}'', in which one of the starfish-like Pairan aliens assumes a human form to communicate, much like Mega Starmie. Its humanoid appearance may also be a visual pun on 人手 ''hitode'' (starfish), which can be translated as "human hand", emphasizing the "human" part of the pun. The two longer arms it uses as legs could also reference the {{wp|Regeneration (biology)|regenerative}} qualities of real starfish, which can lose arms and later regrow them, with the new arms starting out smaller before gradually matching the size of the others.

====Name origin====
Starmie may be a combination of ''star'' and ''mystery''. Its name in English may also involve ''me'' (in opposition to the ''you'' in {{p|Staryu}}). The name Starmie may also refer to ミミー ''Mimī'', the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|early design]] of Staryu from the original [[Capsule Monsters]] concept.

[[File:jp gbprinter.jpg|thumb|200px|The special Pikachu Yellow edition]]
The '''Game Boy Printer''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットプリンタ}}''' ''Pocket Printer'') is a {{wp|Thermal printing|thermal printer}} accessory compatible with the [[Game Boy]] line (except for [[Game Boy micro]]) released on February 21, 1998 in Japan<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/hardware/pocket_c/ {{j|ポケットカメラ＆ポケットプリンタ}}]</ref> and on June 1, 1998 in the United States<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980530121628/http://www.nintendo.com/gb/gb_camera/index.html Nintendo: Game Boy Camera]</ref> and June 4, 1998 for Europe and Oceania<ref>{{wp|Game Boy Camera}}</ref>, alongside the [[Game Boy Camera]]. It connects to the Game Boy using a [[Game Link Cable]], with a Universal Game Link Cable being included in the package.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Game-Boy-Pocket-Color/Accessories/Game-Boy-Printer/Game-Boy-Printer-619594.html Game Boy Printer | Game Boy / Pocket / Color | Support | Nintendo]</ref>

A Japan-only special Pikachu Yellow Game Boy Printer was released alongside {{game|Yellow}} on September 12, 1998.<ref>[http://maru-chang.com/hard/gb/ DMG/MGB/CGB： {{j|ゲームボーイ}}]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180911142225/http://www.geocities.jp/hagane0772/rekisi.html {{j|ポケモンの歴史}}]</ref> The Hello Kitty virtual pet advertised a Hello Kitty pink themed Game Boy Printer that would have released in 1998 but was canceled.

Game Boy Printer features are disabled in the [[Virtual Console]] releases of compatible games. While the option still appears on menus, it is non-functional.

==Specifications==
* Resolution: 160×144 px (same as [[Game Boy]])
* Power supply: 6 {{wp|AA battery|AA batteries}}
* Print: thermal sticker paper rolls, 100-180 pictures per roll
* Print size: 27×23 mm, including frame

==Printable features in Pokémon games==
===Core series===
Players of {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} are able to print the following:
* [[Pokédex]] stickers
* [[Diploma]]s
* [[Pokémon Storage System]] Boxes
* [[Party]] Pokémon
* [[Pikachu's Beach]] hi-score{{sup/1|Y}}
* [[Mail]]{{sup/2|GSC}}
* [[Ruins of Alph|Alph Ruins]] Stamps{{sup/2|GSC}}

The quality of prints is managed in the [[options]]. The games use three messages during the process: CHECKING LINK → TRANSMITTING → PRINTING.

Both the feature and its settings were removed in the Korean versions of Gold and Silver as the Game Boy Printer was not released in {{pmin|South Korea}}.

The background music played while printing is the same in all four games; it consists of the bass line to the music used for the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame, albeit slowed down and with an altered intro. It was later rearranged and used as the theme of the [[Pokéwalker]] screens in the [[main menu]] of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
====Pokédex stickers====
Players may print physical copies of the [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] of individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by using the '''PRNT''' option in the Pokédex. These prints are referred to as '''Pokédex stickers''' (Japanese: '''ずかんシール''') in the [[Generation II]] games.

In Western versions, the dimensions of Pokédex stickers (160×192 px) exceed those of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen resolution (160×144 px) because the print combines the two pages of the Pokédex entry. The stickers in the Japanese versions are not printed out with different dimensions because the Pokédex entries only use a single page. In the Japanese Generation II games, the printed font differs from the font used in-game.

The Pokédex stickers display a Pokémon's entry text as a single page, unlike the in-game Pokédex which breaks the entry in two pages for each Pokémon. The Pokédex page numbers ("P.1" and "P.2") found in [[Generation II]] games are not seen on Pokédex stickers either. The stickers have no Pokédex buttons such as "Page", "Area", "Cry", and "Print".

====Diploma====
The [[diploma]] can also be printed as proof by the graphic artist at the Game Freak Development Room on the third floor of [[Celadon Condominiums]]. Printed diplomas have the dimensions 160×288 px.

====Pokémon Storage System====
The list of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a given Box of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] can also be printed. Prints of Boxes display the full Box, including empty slots. [[Nickname]]s and, in [[Generation II]], [[level]]s, are also listed alongside the Pokémon's species name. Like the Pokémon Storage System itself, the Western versions show a maximum of 20 entries for Pokémon, while the Japanese versions show 30 entries.

The dimensions of printed Boxes are 160×576 px in all versions.

====Party Pokémon====
In {{game|Yellow}}, the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|chairman]] of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] can take a photo of one of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Party|Pokémon List]] and print it out. In the [[Generation II]] games, the {{DL|Cianwood City|Photo Studio/Cameron's house|Photo Studio}} in [[Cianwood City]] instead takes this role.

The dimensions in the Western Generation II games are 160×272 px.

====Alph Ruins Stamps====
In the [[Generation II]] games, players may generate so-called '''Alph Ruins Stamps''' (Japanese: '''{{j|アルフのいせききねんスタンプ}}''' ''Ruins of Alph Souvenir Stamps'') of individual {{p|Unown}} using the '''PRINT''' function of the printer at the [[Ruins of Alph]] Research Center. The printer may only be used after the player has unlocked every entry of the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|new Pokédex's]] [[Unown Mode]]. Additionally, the Research Center's printer allows players to print empty stamps by choosing the VACANT option in the interface, which appears between Unown-Z and Unown-A.

Printed stamps have the dimensions 160×48 px.

====Trading Card Game series====
{{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}} offer three different printing features to players. Players may print out copies of a single card, a list depicting one of their custom deck configurations, and/or a list of every card they own in the game.

==Game Boy Camera==
The [[Game Boy Camera]] contains data for players to print out Pokémon stickers in addition to their photos. This is likely a nod to the fact that [[Game Freak]] programmed the Game Boy Camera software.

==Printer errors==
If there is an issue with the printer, the games return four types of errors and instruct the player to check the Game Boy Printer Manual. The following descriptions for each error are taken and adapted from the online support article provided by [[Nintendo]] of Europe.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Game-Boy-Pocket-Color/Troubleshooting/Game-Boy-Printer/Error-message-appears/Error-message-appears-619693.html Error message appears | Game Boy / Pocket / Color | Support | Nintendo]</ref>

* '''Printer Error 1:''' The Game Boy Printer's batteries are empty.
* '''Printer Error 2:''' The Universal [[Game Link Cable]] is not connected or is connected incorrectly.
* '''Printer Error 3:''' The printer's paper needs to be changed.
* '''Printer Error 4:''' The ambient temperature is inadequate (too high or too low). The printer must be used in a place with controlled temperature.

==Trivia==
* In an interview, [[Satoru Iwata]] stated that he experimented with using the [[Transfer Pak]] to transfer photos from [[Pokémon Snap]] to the [[Game Boy Camera]] for printing. However, the development team felt the quality of the resulting Game Boy Printer image wasn't very good, leading the idea to be scrapped and Sticker Stations to be developed instead.<ref>''The 64Dream'', Issue #32 (May 1999), p. 85.</ref>

Surf glitch

2026-01-26T19:28:00Z

Keegster2: /* Remedy */ How long was it since this glitch got moved to its own page? While mentioning the elevator glitch probably isn't necessary, I rephrased the paragraph mentioning it to acknowledge that it's on a different page now.

{{search|glitch in Generation IV|the glitch in Generation I which uses Surf|List of overworld glitches in Generation I#Save Surf exploit|List of overworld glitches in Generation I → Save Surf exploit}}
The '''Surf glitch''' is a [[glitch]] found only in the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} best known for allowing the player to catch the [[event]]-only [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. It is one of two glitches in [[Generation IV]] [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/index.html?C officially acknowledged by Nintendo], with the other being the {{dl|List of overworld glitches in Generation IV|broken escalator oversight}}.

==Performing the glitch==
Due to a programming mistake, the door in [[Aaron]]'s room of the {{si|Pokémon League}} can be Surfed through, by facing the door and manually selecting {{m|Surf}} from the [[party]] screen. This allows the player to step into the [[void]] around the indoor area and walk to other areas.

By counting steps using the [[Pokétch]] pedometer app, the player can travel to [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event-exclusive [[Member Card]] and [[Oak's Letter]] items, respectively. The player can proceed to catch {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} at these locations, then {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}} back to a normally-accessible area and resume play.

As this glitch bypasses the usual event flags, neither Pokémon will regenerate if the player later acquires the Member Card or Oak's Letter and travels to the area normally. To partially remedy this, the two event Pokémon were given through direct [[Mystery Gift]] distributions rather than Mystery Gift distributions of the event items. The items were not legitimately distributed until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, in which the Surf glitch has been fixed.

It is also possible to use the Surf glitch to reach other areas, including the [[Hall of Fame]].

==Danger==
As the [[void]] is not intended to be accessed during the normal course of the game, it poses the risk of the player getting trapped with no way out, thus forcing them to either [[cheat]] to escape or start their game anew. This is most likely to occur if the player incorrectly follows the steps to reach a desired area and/or saves their game in the wrong place.

==Remedy==
{{bulbanews|Nintendo officially acknowledges glitches in Diamond and Pearl}}
Nintendo has [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/index.html?C officially acknowledged the glitch] and [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/adpj/info/how_to_recover.html offered workarounds and methods of recovery]. The glitch was removed from international releases of the games.

In the case where the player has saved the game while trapped, it is possible to repair the save state with a program that was distributed to [[DS Download Station]]s in Japan starting October 27, 2006; this program also repairs saves where the player became trapped due to the [[List of overworld glitches in Generation IV#Broken elevator oversight|broken elevator oversight]]. The player will be transported back outside their house in [[Twinleaf Town]], allowing them to resume the game.

If one does not have access to a DS Station, one may mail their DS game card for repair to Nintendo of Japan at this address:

〒601-8501 京都市南区上鳥羽鉾立町11番地1
任天堂株式会社　「お客様ご相談窓口　ポケモンＤ＆Ｐ係」

As of February 2018, the mail-in option is no longer available.

==Trivia==
* While the Surf glitch has been removed in the international versions of Diamond and Pearl, there exists another glitch, [[tweaking]], that still allows the player to enter the [[void]]. Like the Surf glitch, it can be used to reach the Hall of Fame, Newmoon Island, and Flower Paradise, among other areas.

Required Party Pokémon

2026-01-20T04:14:35Z

Keegster2: Some formatting additions to previous entries (especially Stadium), and adding (about) every instance from Gen IX. I wasn't sure if Asami and Korrina's "use Mega Evolution while fighting me to proceed" battles in Legends: Z-A would count, since they don't require a specific species, just one that can Mega Evolve.

{{Unknown name}}
A '''Required Party Pokémon''' is a specific {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is mandatory to be in the [[party]] in certain events in the games. Frequently, this applies early in games when the player has only their [[first partner Pokémon]] and has not yet been given the ability to acquire other Pokémon or access [[Trade|trading]] or [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] functionality. However, there are occasionally certain other scenarios in which this concept may apply. From {{g|X and Y}} onward, it is ensured that the player's storage can't legally be full when a mandatory catch comes by making sure the final [[PC]] Box stays locked until the moment the player catches it so there's always a place to put it.

==In General==
In order to evolve {{p|Mantyke}} into {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Remoraid}} must be in the party.

==Generation I==
==={{g|Stadium (Japanese)}}===
{{m|Surf}} can be taught to a {{p|Pikachu}} if the player clears the Master Ball division of the L1-30 Division with a Pikachu in their party.

==={{g|Stadium}}===
Exclusively in international releases of Pokémon Stadium, Surf can be taught to a Pikachu if the player clears the Master Ball division of the Round 2 [[Prime Cup]] with all Pokémon selected directly from a Game Pak (the Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game), not saving the game during the challenge (continues are permitted), and having Pikachu participate in the final battle.

==={{game|Yellow}}===
In order to play the [[Pikachu's Beach]] minigame in the original versions, a [[surfing Pikachu]] must be transferred from other games and put in the player's party. In the [[Virtual Console]] editions, only [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's partner Pikachu]] is required.

==Generation III==
==={{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}} and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}}===
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is necessary to have {{p|Relicanth}} at the top of the party and {{p|Wailord}} at the bottom of the party while reading the inscription in the second room of the [[Sealed Chamber]] so as to open the doors of the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]]. In Pokémon Emerald, the required party positions of Relicanth and Wailord are swapped.

==Generation IV==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, and {{game|Platinum||Platinum}}===
In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are required in order to fight {{p|Regigigas}}. In Platinum, a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas is required in order to fight Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

==={{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}===
The only way to access the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] is by bringing an {{p|Arceus}} from an {{pkmn2|event|event distribution}} or an Arceus which the game recognizes as a traded Pokémon from the [[Hall of Origin]] to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The event is triggered by having Arceus as the {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] and entering the Ruins of Alph. However, due to the [[Azure Flute]] never being released in [[Generation IV]], it is not possible to obtain an Arceus from the Hall of Origin without the use of [[glitch]]es or [[cheating]].

==Generation V==
==={{game|Black and White|s}}===
At the climax of {{game|Black and White|s}}, inside [[N's Castle]], {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} will appear in front of the {{player}} and challenge them. The player ''must'' capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with [[N]]. The only exception occurs if the player has a full party, and a completely filled {{pkmn|Storage System}} (a total of 726 individual Pokémon). In this case, Reshiram{{sup/5|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|W}} will reappear at the peak of [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating N and [[Ghetsis]].

==Generation VI==
==={{g|X and Y}}===
After battling [[Korrina]] at [[Shalour Gym]], she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the [[Tower of Mastery]]. There, the {{p|Lucario}} that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

In the player's final confrontation with [[Team Flare]] at their [[Team Flare Secret HQ|secret headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]], {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}} or {{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} will be awakened and attack the player. Similar to {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the player ''must'' capture it to proceed to the final confrontation with [[Lysandre]]; if it is defeated, it will instantly respawn. The only exception occurs if the player has a full party, and a completely filled {{pkmn|Storage System}} (a total of 726 individual Pokémon). If the player's party is full, the player will have the chance to send one of their Pokémon to the PC to make room for the Legendary Pokémon. Xerneas or Yveltal is forced to move to the front of the party if there is room for it upon capture, but if the player already has a full team, they can choose to send it to the PC in which case, it is not forced to be in the party.

==={{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}===
During the [[Delta Episode]], {{p|Rayquaza}} will insist on being in the party upon being captured and will then battle [[Zinnia]], then {{p|Deoxys}}. If the player used hacks to fill up the locked box, the game will teach Dragon Ascent to a Pokémon other than Rayquaza.

==Generation VIII==
==={{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}===
In [[The Isle of Armor]], after completing all three trials, the player will receive a {{p|Kubfu}} from [[Mustard]]. The player is then tasked with training at either the Tower of Darkness or the Tower of Waters with Kubfu alone. Completing its training will cause it to evolve into {{p|Urshifu}} in either its {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} Single Strike Style or {{2t|Fighting|Water}} Rapid Strike Style, depending on the place it trained.

==={{g|Legends: Arceus}}===
It is necessary to have the {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} the player caught at [[Spear Pillar]] in the party in order to leave [[Jubilife Village]] to battle its counterpart.

==Generation IX==
==={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}===
In [[Zero Lab]], after the first battle with [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}, the Paradise Protection Protocol's defense system will activate prior to the AI professor sending out their {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}, preventing the player from using any Pokémon except their own {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} against it.

After completing the main story, the player is given the ability to freely switch {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} between its {{form|Koraidon|Sprinting Build}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{form|Miraidon|Drive Mode}}{{sup/9|V}} and Apex Build{{sup/9|S}}/Ultimate Mode{{sup/9|V}}, the latter allowing it to be used in battle. However, {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} cannot be moved to a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] or traded away; it can only be removed from the player's battle party by reverting it to its rideable form.

==={{g|Legends: Z-A}}===
At the beginning of [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|main mission]] 10, "The Secrets of Mega Evolution", the player is required to have an {{p|Absol}} holding an [[Absolite]] in their party in order to battle their [[rival]], [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]].

In both the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and [[Mega Dimension]], certain side missions require the player to use a specific species or [[type]] of Pokémon in a battle:
{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{Legends Z-A color dark}}; border:3px solid #{{Legends Z-A color}}"

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a snow-covered city located at the far north of [[Sinnoh]], where snow blows down from the top of [[Mount Coronet]], causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it ({{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, and [[Acuity Lakefront]]) are also completely covered in snow. There is a port here from which the {{player}} can board the [[S.S. Sinnoh]] (known as S.S. Spiral in {{game|Platinum}}) to access the [[Fight Area]] at the [[Battle Zone]], but only after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Its [[Snowpoint Temple|temple]] is home to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}}. There is also a [[Move Tutor]] in Snowpoint in {{game|Platinum}}.

In Sinnoh's past, when it was known as [[Hisui]], Snowpoint City was a small village known as the [[Pearl Settlement]], the home of the [[Pearl Clan]].

==Slogan==
'''''City of Snow''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|こおりきらめくふゆのまち}}''' ''The wintry city of glittering ice'')

==Places of interest==
===Snowpoint Temple===
{{main|Snowpoint Temple}}
[[File:Snowpoint Temple DPPt.png|thumb|200px|left|The Snowpoint Temple]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticeable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the {{player}} has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this Legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the original [[legendary giants]] along with them. In [[Generation IV]], they are all only available normally in the [[Generation III]] games. Through an event Regigigas, the legendary giants can also be obtained in {{v2|Platinum}} and will activate the in-game Regigigas. In [[Generation VIII]], the three giants are available at [[Ramanas Park]].

===Northeast house===
Snowpoint's north-easternmost house is home to the place where {{DL|Trend|Generation IV|trendy phrases}} are obtained. Once a day, players can go to the farthest house in the northeast and receive a new trendy phrase until all 32 are obtained. A trendy phrase is an additional phrase which can be used in the [[easy chat system]]. It appears in the "Tough Words" category. There are thirty-two different possibilities, all obtainable from an elderly man in the northeasternmost house in the city. Only one may be obtained daily, and receiving a new trendy phrase will not alter any {{cat|game mechanics}}. They typically refer to {{wp|science}}, {{wp|business}} and {{wp|the arts}}.

In Pokémon Platinum, a [[Move Tutor]] may also be found here.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the man will no longer provide trendy phrases as this feature is no longer present.

===In-game trade===
In the north-westernmost house, a girl will [[In-game trade|trade]] a {{p|Haunter}} holding an [[Everstone]] (which prevents it from evolving into {{p|Gengar}}) for a {{p|Medicham}}. The Haunter is nicknamed "Gaspar" and the OT is "Mindy". The Haunter's ID number is 19248.

===Diamond dust===
[[File:Diamond Dust IV.png|frame|right|Diamond dust in Platinum]]
{{main|Easter egg#Diamond dust|Easter egg → Easter eggs in the games → Diamond dust}}
On January 10, 2008, [[Junichi Masuda]] posted a blog entry urging players to play their Diamond or Pearl on January 12. On that day, the same day as Masuda's [[birthday]], a [[weather]] effect called {{wp|diamond dust}} occurred in Snowpoint City, replacing the usual snow. It resembles glitter in the air. It is purely aesthetic, since it only occurs within the city where no battles are possible.

===Snowpoint Gym===
{{main|Snowpoint Gym}}
The '''Snowpoint Gym''' is the official [[Gym]] of Snowpoint City. It is based on {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Candice]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}. The Snowpoint City Gym is a Gym consisting of a three-tier ice rink with slides connecting the various tiers and snowballs blocking progress through the Gym. To reach the Gym Leader, Trainers have to slide around the Gym and destroy the balls of snow blocking the way. For defeating [[Candice]], Trainers receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
The population of Snowpoint City is 31. This is very noteworthy considering its northern location and isolation from other cities in Sinnoh.

===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
The population of Snowpoint City is 30.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
Snowpoint City was first mentioned in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', when {{Ash}} was informed that someone had contacted him from there. It was later revealed that {{an|May}} had placed a call to him from there; after coming to Sinnoh to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]], she decided to stop by Snowpoint City first to evolve her {{p|Eevee}} into {{TP|May|Glaceon}} in front of an [[Ice Rock]] that was located near the city.

Ash and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Snowpoint City in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', with Ash intending to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Candice]]. However, before their {{pkmn|battle}}, Ash spent some time at the [[Pokémon academy|Snowpoint Trainers' School]] where Candice teaches. In the [[DP127|next episode]], Ash defeated Candice and earned himself the {{badge|Icicle}}, his seventh [[Sinnoh League]] Badge.

Just as Ash finished his battle with Candice, his rival [[Paul]] arrived, wanting to challenge Candice for the Icicle Badge as well. Before he could do so, however, the [[Battle Pyramid]] flew into Snowpoint City, and Paul battled {{an|Brandon|Pyramid King Brandon}} to see if he could win against the one [[Kanto]] [[Frontier Brain]] his brother [[Reggie]] had failed to defeat. Their battle took place in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', and just like his brother, Paul lost to Brandon, being unable to defeat a single one his {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}}.

Following Paul's battle, in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', it was discovered that [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] had broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there. According to legend, long ago, there had been a violent volcanic eruption that had turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} had appeared with the [[legendary giants]] and the four had stopped the volcanic eruption, saving Snowpoint City. Afterwards, Regigigas had gone into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. In the end, J was defeated, but the temple was nearly destroyed in the battle. Brandon left his three giants behind as protectors and promised to rebuild the temple.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', [[Zoey]] and Candice were seen watching {{an|Dawn}}'s [[Double Performance]] in the [[Daybreak Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[television]] in Snowpoint City. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', Candice, [[Jeremiah]], and other students watched the [[Contest Battle]] between Dawn and Zoey in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. After the competition, Zoey headed back to Snowpoint, where Candice was throwing a party in celebration of her fulfilling her goal of becoming a [[Top Coordinator]].

Throughout their time in Snowpoint City, Ash and his friends wore winter clothing, which they received earlier from [[Johanna]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''.

In addition to Candice, Snowpoint City is also the [[hometown]] of Zoey. According to [[Nurse Joy]], it is the northernmost city in [[Sinnoh]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] traveled to Snowpoint City to return a {{p|Piplup}} that had swam all the way to [[Vermilion City]] to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, [[Lauren]]. During this visit, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Goh|Mantyke}}, and both Ash and Goh took part in the annual [[Pokémon Iceberg Race]], although the race was later cancelled following an interruption by {{TRT}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Snowpoint City RMCO.png|thumb|250px|Snowpoint City in [[Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!]]]]
===Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!===
Snowpoint City appeared in the [[Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl: Regigigas Major Capture Operation!!]] manga, where {{OBP|Kaito|RMCO}}, {{OBP|Yuki|RMCO}}, and [[Kento]] gathered there, awakening and eventually catching {{p|Regigigas}} at the [[Snowpoint Temple]].

[[File:Snowpoint City Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Snowpoint City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Snowpoint City first appeared in ''[[PS387|Striking Out Snover]]'', where {{adv|Platinum}} arrived there with [[Maylene]] in the hopes of talking with [[Candice]] about protecting {{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Mesprit}} from [[Team Galactic]] at [[Lake Acuity]]. However, she first had to defeat her at the [[Snowpoint Gym]] before she could do so. After Platinum had defeated Candice and earned the {{badge|Icicle}} from her in ''[[PS388|To and Fro with Froslass]]'', Candice joined Platinum and Maylene and headed to Lake Acuity with them.

In ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]'', after Platinum, Candice, and Maylene had been thoroughly defeated by {{tc|Commander}} [[Jupiter]], Platinum carried the two unconscious [[Gym Leader]]s to the [[Snowpoint Temple]] for shelter, before passing out as well. In ''[[PS404|Encountering Elekid]]'', she woke up at the Snowpoint City [[Pokémon Center]] and was greeted by Candice and Maylene. Realizing that their enemy was way too strong for them, they called [[Byron]] and told him to ask [[Volkner|someone]] to {{pkmn|training|train}} with them so they would be stronger next time.

[[File:Snowpoint City DPA.png|thumb|250px|Snowpoint City in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]]]
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Snowpoint City first appeared in ''[[DPA14|A Novel Test!!]]'', where [[Hareta]] arrived there and was met by [[Candice]], who decided to put him into a test to see if he was strong enough to face [[Team Galactic]]. The test was a [[Double Battle]], with Hareta facing Candice's [[legendary giants]] with {{TP|Hareta|Luxio}} and {{p|Riolu}}. While it seemed for a moment that Hareta was about to lose, he was able to make a comeback when Riolu suddenly evolved into {{p|Lucario}} and defeated both of Candice's Pokémon. Impressed by this, Candice [[DPA15|then]] took Hareta to the [[Snowpoint Temple]], where she used the legendary giants to awaken {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}. After a battle with Regigigas, Hareta managed to convince it to come with him.

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint is home to the northernmost point of access in the games — the entrance of Snowpoint Temple is very slightly north of the northernmost point that can be accessed in the [[Flower Paradise]].
* Snowpoint is the first city or town that is connected to another location that does not connect directly to a route; before reaching a route one must pass through [[Acuity Lakefront]] first.
* Because of the snow, Snowpoint is one of two cities or towns where bicycles cannot be ridden, though the only one in Sinnoh. The other is [[Pacifidlog Town]] in [[Hoenn]].
* Snowpoint gets its name from the Snowpoint Temple, rather than the temple being named after the city, as revealed in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* Snowpoint is similar to [[Mahogany Town]] in [[Johto]] and [[Icirrus City]] in [[Unova]]. All three have the 7th Gym to their regions which are all {{t|Ice}} type. They are also near a lake (Snowpoint is near Lake Acuity, whereas Mahogany Town is near the Lake of Rage, and Icirrus City has several lakes surrounding the city.) All places are also near a location that has something to do with snow, hail, or ice (Snowpoint is near the Acuity Lakefront, where it's always snowing; Mahogany Town is near the Ice Path; Icirrus City experiences snowfalls in the winter time.)
* The traversable area of Snowpoint City is shaped like a snowflake when viewed from above.
** Snowpoint's snowflake shape, however, has eight points. Because of the properties of water molecules, real snowflakes only ever have six points or sides.

'''Sylveon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニンフィア''' ''Nymphia'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing a Fairy-type [[move]] and having two hearts of [[affection]] or high [[friendship]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

It is one of Eevee's [[Eeveelution|final forms]], the others being {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sylveon extending ribbons.png|thumb|left|250px|Sylveon extending its feelers]]
Sylveon is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with pale cream-colored fur with pink feet, ears, and tail. It has light blue eyes, long ears with blue interiors and thicker fur, a tiny nose, two stray tufts of fur on top of its head, and two pointed teeth which can be seen when it opens its mouth. There are two bows on its body: one at the base of its left ear and one at its neck. Each bow is pale cream with a pink center and trails a pair of ribbon-like feelers. These feelers, which can be manipulated like limbs and extended far beyond their typical length, are pale cream and end at the tips with a pink stripe, then a dark blue stripe, and then a light blue color. It has slender legs with small, three-toed paws and a fluffy, slightly curved tail.

Sylveon's ribbon-like feelers emit a soothing aura that erases any sense of hostility, enabling it to stop fights instantly. It will also wrap its feelers around its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s arm as they walk together, which allows it to read their feelings. When hunting, it distracts its prey by swirling around its feelers and using its aura to weakens its target's enmity before pouncing on it. When a fight breaks out between Sylveon and a dragon Pokémon, it will bravely charge at its opponent even if is much bigger; in [[Galar]], this feat is told as a fairy tale. It moves with graceful precision, feelers trembling as it glides about, but its piercing moves strike straight at its foes' weak spots. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Sylveon's aura can allow any nearby Trainers to obtain a good night's sleep.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It enjoys living in flower meadows where it dances while releasing its calming energy.

Sylveon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Pixilate}} as an [[Ability]] without the use of [[Mega Evolution]], and in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it is the only one that can have Pixilate at all.

===Evolution===
Sylveon [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===Evolution data===
Sylveon [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Eevee}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] and having high [[friendship]]. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it evolves from Eevee when leveled up while knowing a Fairy-type [[move]] and having at least two levels of [[affection]]. Eevee will evolve into Sylveon even if the [[Methods of Evolution|evolutionary conditions]] for it to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} have also been met. Eevee will never evolve into Sylveon while near a [[Moss Rock]] or [[Ice Rock]], or in {{LGPE}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, as Sylveon is not present in those games.

====Trophy information====
''Sylveon is one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Eeveelution|various final evolutions]]. It has a lot of great attacks to use in {{pkmn|battle}}, but it actually seems to be a peace-loving sort of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Case in point, it can completely stop the flow of battle by moving its ribbonlike feelers in a way that charms its opponents into not wanting to fight anymore. ''

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Sylveon (UNITE)}}
Sylveon is playable after obtaining its [[Unite license]]. It is a ranged attacker that starts as Eevee and evolves at [[level]] 4.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Sylveon is the lightest [[Eeveelution]].
* Sylveon is the only [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational evolutionary relative]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* Sylveon is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced after [[Generation IV]] that is obtainable in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}.
* Sylveon is the only Eeveelution to be introduced in a [[generation]] that did not introduce any other Eeveelutions.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Sylveon was the first {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon to be created in-game.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref>
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} prior to v2.0.1, Sylveon was unable to learn {{m|Mud-Slap}} via [[TM]] despite {{p|Eevee}} being able to.
* Sylveon is the only Eeveelution to not evolve by using an [[item]] in any games, as {{p|Leafeon}} and {{p|Glaceon}} can evolve by using a [[Leaf Stone]] and [[Ice Stone]] respectively in [[Generation VIII]] onwards while {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} evolve using a [[Sun Shard]] and [[Moon Shard]] respectively in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

===Concept and development===
Sylveon was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>(2018) ''EVs''. ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-eevee-origins/ English translation] written by Anthony Madry and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131030135359/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Official Nintendo Magazine Interview | Interview with Ken Sugimori]</ref> According to Nishida, it is a reimagination of stereotypical modern fairies — winged, human-shaped beings like {{wp|Tinker Bell}}. Moreover, Sylveon's color scheme was chosen because it isn't found in nature, emphasizing it as a fantastical creature.<ref name=CFPPage1>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/ Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida (Page 1)]</ref>

===Origin===
Similar to most Eeveelutions, Sylveon's overall design shares characteristics with multiple different mammalian species such as {{wp|dog|dogs}}, {{wp|cats|cats}}, and {{wp|fox|foxes}}. However, in contrast to the other Eeveelutions' pointed ears, Sylveon's large and rounded ears resemble a {{wp|rabbit|rabbit's}}. Due to fairies' affinity to nature, myths commonly involve them being particularly active during a full moon; because of this and the rabbit similarities, Sylveon could be based on the {{wp|moon rabbit}}. Alternatively, it may be based on {{wp|Chang'e}}, the moon rabbit's owner and the goddess of the Moon in Chinese mythology. Chang'e is a {{wp|Xian (Taoism)|仙女 ''xiānnǚ''}}, a type of female immortal or deity often translated as "fairy" or "fairy maiden". ''Xiānnǚ'' are often depicted wearing a {{wp|hanfu}}, a traditional robe often adorned with a large {{wp|Pibo|silk shawl}} and {{wp|Hanfu accessories|ribbons}}, accessories which likely inspired Sylveon's ribbon-like feelers.

====Name origin====
Sylveon may be a combination of ''{{wp|sylph}}'' ({{wp|elemental}} of air commonly identified with fairies), ''sylvan'' (an adjective used to describe wooded or rural areas), ''{{wp|Silvanus (mythology)|Silvanus}}'' (a Roman deity of the woods and uncultivated land), and ''eon'' (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long {{wp|evolution}} takes naturally). ''Eon'' is a suffix all Eeveelutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Nymphia may be derived from ''{{wp|nymph}}'', a class of female nature deities in Greek mythology commonly associated with fairies.

A '''vitamin''' (Japanese: '''えいようドリンク''' ''nutritious drink'') is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]], [[PP]], or [[level]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

==Terminology==
{{incomplete|section|Other potentially missing terms, Japanese equivalent to "Pokémon vitamin drink"}}
In {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}, a {{tc|Sailor}} and a {{tc|Gentleman}} found on the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] refer to them as '''Pokémon ability enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモンの　のうりょくを　あげる　アイテム}}''' ''Pokémon ability-raising items'').

In English {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a Gentleman there refers to them as "items that raise Pokémon stats". In the Japanese versions, he refers to them as '''{{j|ポケモンの　のうりょくを　あげる　どうぐ}}''' ''Pokémon ability-raising tools''.

In English {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Sailor and Gentleman instead refer to them as '''Pokémon stat enhancers'''. In the Japanese versions, the Sailor refers to them as {{j|ポケモンの　のうりょくを　あげる　アイテム}} ''Pokémon ability-raising items'', whereas the Gentleman refers to them as {{j|ポケモンの　のうりょくを　あげる　どうぐ}} ''Pokémon ability-raising tools''.

From Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen onwards, they are consistently known as '''nutritious drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|栄養|えいよう}}ドリンク}}''' ''nutritious drinks'') in the descriptions of the individual items. They are also called '''Pokémon drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケモンの　ドリンク}}''' ''Pokémon drinks'') by the man in charge of the [[Safari Zone Gate]]'s southeast stall in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In the English manuals of the [[Generation I]], {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}} games, these items are collectively called '''Pokémon Power-Ups''' alongside the [[battle item]]s and [[Rare Candy]].

In the [[Pokémon.com]] [https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/about/video-game-glossary/ Pokémon Video Game Glossary], these items are referred to as '''vitamins'''.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, they are referred to as '''Pokémon vitamin drinks'''.

The Japanese names of the individual items reveal them to be compounds such as {{wp|taurine}}, {{wp|bromhexine}}, {{wp|lysozyme}}, {{wp|chitosan}}, and {{wp|indometacin}}, which are used for treatment of the body.

According to the [[Pokémon Wiki]]'s equivalent to this article, these items are known as '''{{j|ドーピングアイテム}}''' ''doping items'' among Japanese fans.

==Effect==
In all [[core series]] games since [[Generation III]], vitamins that affect [[Statistic|stats]] increase a Pokémon's {{EV}}s for a given stat by 10 EV points, but can't increase the total EVs beyond a maximum of 510. Between Generations III and {{gen|VII}}, vitamins will also have no effect on an individual stat that already has 100 or more EVs. Prior to Generation III, effort values were based on a system of {{DL|effort values|stat experience}} and vitamins increased a stat by 2560 EV points, but could only be used until the stat had 25600 EVs.

The two [[PP]]-raising vitamins raise the maximum PP of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s in increments of fifths of its base PP, up to <sup>8</sup>/<sub>5</sub> of its base PP.

From [[Generation II]] onward, all vitamins also increase the [[friendship]] of Pokémon they are used on.

In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, vitamins permanently increase one of the Stats of a Pokémon and are not subject to any limits due to the absence of the EV system in those games.

==Acquisition==
All vitamins can be found on the ground at various locations.

[[PP Up]]s are sold in [[Cerulean City]] in [[Kanto]] in exchange for [[Berry Powder]], at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]'s Athelete Shop in [[Johto]] on [[Days of the week|Tuesdays and Thursdays]], and from [[Chansey Supply]] stores in [[Paldea]] after completing the main story. Starting from {{game|Emerald}}, PP Ups can also be found by Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Pickup}}. [[PP Max]]es are not sold anywhere. Both PP Ups and PP Maxes are typically available as rewards from the [[Loto-ID]], and are occasionally auctioned off at the [[Porto Marinada Market]].

All other vitamins are available to buy for {{pdollar}}9,800 ({{pdollar}}4,900 at a sale) at [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Safari Zone Gate]] in Kanto, [[Goldenrod Department Store]] in Johto, [[Lilycove Department Store]] and {{ci|Slateport}} market in [[Hoenn]], [[Veilstone Department Store]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Shopping Mall Nine]] in [[Unova]], and the [[Laverre City]] Poké Mart in [[Kalos]]; they are available to buy for {{pdollar}}10,000 at the [[Mount Hokulani]] Pokémon Center in [[Alola]] and any [[Chansey Supply]] store after obtaining 3 [[Badge|Gym Badges]]; in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, vitamins can be purchased from any of [[Lumiose City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]s for {{pdollar}}5,000 after reaching Rank C in the [[Z-A Royale]]. They may also be purchased at Cerulean City for Berry Powder. Vitamins can also be purchased at both the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|third}} and {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV|fourth}} generation Battle Frontiers, the [[Battle Park]]'s Exchange Service Corner, the [[Battle Subway]], and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] for 1 [[Battle Point|BP]] each, and from the [[Battle Maison]], the [[Battle Royal Dome]], and a {{tc|League Staff}} member in [[Hammerlocke]] for 2 BP each.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, once the [[Master Dojo]] in the [[Isle of Armor]] has been [[Master Dojo#Upgrades|upgraded]], a vending machine will be available that sells vitamins in bulk for a lower per-item cost. Vitamins can be purchased in groups of 1 for {{pdollar}}10,000 (regular price), 5 for {{pdollar}}40,000 ({{pdollar}}8,000 each), 10 for {{pdollar}}70,000 ({{pdollar}}7,000 each), or 25 for {{pdollar}}125,000 ({{pdollar}}5,000 each).

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, vitamins are an occasional reward for completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|side missions]]. After finishing the main story, they are sometimes given out by {{tc|Courier}}s in [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|battle zones]], in addition to being possible prizes for winning [[Z-A Royale#Reward matches|reward matches]] in the Infinite Z-A Royale.

Alpha Pokémon

2025-12-10T04:37:22Z

Keegster2: /* Trivia */ This is already listed higher on the page, and has no relation to anything Legendaries or Mythicals share with alphas.

{{search|wild Pokémon variant|other uses|Alpha (disambiguation)}}
----
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]], featuring an alpha {{p|Ursaring}}]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] that were introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, with the exception of {{p|Zubat}}; this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

Alpha Pokémon returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, retaining the same traits and behavior as in Legends: Arceus.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Unveils-New-Details-for-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Pokemon-Champions- TPCi Official Press Site ''Pokémon Unveils New Details for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and More'']</ref>

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up, selected at random from among the species' list of Move Tutor moves. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. They are powerful and difficult to catch. Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon always have at least three random [[individual values]] at the maximum value of 31, and know and have mastered one move that their species doesn't normally learn by level up, but in Legends: Z-A, each species always gets the [[List of alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A by exclusive move|same mastered TM move]] every time it appears in the wild. Alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A also spawn with the maximum 252 [[effort values]] in HP already applied. Alpha Pokémon will always be XL-[[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|sized]] specimens, though they are noticeably larger than non-alpha XL specimens.

Wild alpha Pokémon tend to prioritize directly attacking the {{player}} over attacking their Pokémon. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, the player is not stunned if they are within range of an alpha's shockwave, instead receiving a minor amount of damage. 

The real-time battle system gives the size of alpha Pokémon an impact on battles. Larger Pokémon are easier to hit, especially by indirect attacks in 4-player battles. They also can get stuck more easily. Ranged attacks coming from a certain part of the body may come out at less accurate angles. However, direct attacks can benefit from larger hitboxes.

Alpha Pokémon will start to appear throughout [[Lumiose City]] after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 05: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower".

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

====[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]====
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

====Unique alpha Pokémon====
During Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives", three unique Alpha Pokémon spawn, and each of them must be caught or defeated to progress the mission. If they are defeated without being caught, they will be permanently missed, and can never respawn again. They are referred to as "Anomalous Alphas" by [[Mable]] and in her [[Mable's research|Pokédex Research]], specifically ''Investigating Anomalous Alphas''.

[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]

In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

Alpha Pokémon

2025-12-10T04:34:04Z

Keegster2: /* Pokémon Legends: Z-A */ Why is the accent omitted two times in the middle of this paragraph, but included in the times before and after them? That aside, added some more information about Z-A alphas I've noticed.

{{search|wild Pokémon variant|other uses|Alpha (disambiguation)}}

[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]], featuring an alpha {{p|Ursaring}}]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a [[variant Pokémon|variety of Pokémon]] that were introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, wild alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, with the exception of {{p|Zubat}}; this trait is not retained upon [[Caught Pokémon|capture]].

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

Alpha Pokémon returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, retaining the same traits and behavior as in Legends: Arceus.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Unveils-New-Details-for-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Pokemon-Champions- TPCi Official Press Site ''Pokémon Unveils New Details for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and More'']</ref>

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from it.

====Gameplay====
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up, selected at random from among the species' list of Move Tutor moves. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be at the largest non-alpha height value that the species can have.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon are larger than is typical of their species, have red glowing eyes, and will chase and attack the player. They are powerful and difficult to catch. Like in Legends: Arceus, alpha Pokémon always have at least three random [[individual values]] at the maximum value of 31, and know and have mastered one move that their species doesn't normally learn by level up, but in Legends: Z-A, each species always gets the [[List of alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A by exclusive move|same mastered TM move]] every time it appears in the wild. Alpha Pokémon in Legends: Z-A also spawn with the maximum 252 [[effort values]] in HP already applied. Alpha Pokémon will always be XL-[[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|sized]] specimens, though they are noticeably larger than non-alpha XL specimens.

Wild alpha Pokémon tend to prioritize directly attacking the {{player}} over attacking their Pokémon. Unlike in Legends: Arceus, the player is not stunned if they are within range of an alpha's shockwave, instead receiving a minor amount of damage. 

The real-time battle system gives the size of alpha Pokémon an impact on battles. Larger Pokémon are easier to hit, especially by indirect attacks in 4-player battles. They also can get stuck more easily. Ranged attacks coming from a certain part of the body may come out at less accurate angles. However, direct attacks can benefit from larger hitboxes.

Alpha Pokémon will start to appear throughout [[Lumiose City]] after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Main missions|Main Mission]] 05: "The City in the Shadow of Prism Tower".

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

====[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]====
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

====Unique alpha Pokémon====
During Main Mission 40: "The One That Gives", three unique Alpha Pokémon spawn, and each of them must be caught or defeated to progress the mission. If they are defeated without being caught, they will be permanently missed, and can never respawn again. They are referred to as "Anomalous Alphas" by [[Mable]] and in her [[Mable's research|Pokédex Research]], specifically ''Investigating Anomalous Alphas''.

==In animation==
[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]]. As of Pokémon Legends Z-A, they also have 252 {{EV}}s in HP.
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

'''Honedge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトツキ''' ''Hitotsuki'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Doublade}} starting at [[level]] 35, which evolves into {{p|Aegislash}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]].

==Biology==
Honedge is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sword from medieval times. Its body is a silver sword with a light gray hilt. Embedded in the hilt is a blue gem with a dark center that appears to be its eye. Attached to the pommel is a long, dark blue cloth with a swirl design in lighter blue at the tip; the tip of the sash splits into four tassels. Honedge's sheath is dark brown with curved lines resembling a {{wp|triquetra}} across its surface. Near the top of the sheath are two rings and a hole that in conjunction with the shape of Honedge's blade create the illusion of a face, with eyes and a mouth. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles its actual eye.

Honedge is said to have been born when the departed spirit of a person inhabits the sword that killed them a long time ago. Its old cloth is prehensile, and it holds its sheath with it when battling. Honedge is known to attach itself to people and wrap its sash around their arm to suck their life energy completely if they dare to grab it by the hilt. The eye on its handguard is actually its true body. Honedge is a nocturnal species and typically resides in grassy plains.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''The origin of this Pokémon is a great ghost tale: it's said that Honedge are ancient swords possessed by a departed spirit. Should people try to grab the sword, Honedge will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm, slowly draining the life energy from their body. Moral of the story: be careful around ancient swords.''

'''PAL:''' ''There's a rather spooky tale behind this Pokémon's origins: apparently, it's an ancient sword possessed by a departed spirit. Honedge won't let anyone grip its hilt. If they try, it will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm and drain the life energy from their body! Yikes!''

==Trivia==
* Honedge and its evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
Honedge appears to be based conceptually on a fully sentient, possessed {{wp|magic sword|magical sword}}. The fact that it starts off as an ordinary sword may mean it could be based on the {{wp|bushido}} mythos behind {{wp|katana}} use; katanas possessed the user {{wp|samurai}}'s soul and attacked of its own free will. In Japanese legends, any object left behind or forgotten by its owner can and will after a while become a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, and most commonly in legends, swords or umbrellas were the ones to attack humans. Considering it drains the life of those who wield it, it may have also been based on {{wp|Tyrfing}}, a cursed sword from Norse mythology. Visually, considering its build and hilt, Honedge seems to be based on either a {{wp|spatha}}, {{wp|claymore}}, or possibly {{wp|jian}} sword, with its own {{wp|scabbard}} and {{wp|Hilt#Sword_knot|tassel}}-like prehensile limb. The design on both Honedge and Doublade's sheath resembles that of a {{wp|triquetra}}, clearly depicted on Honedge and more ornately designed on Doublade's. Its shiny form resembles a blood-soaked sword.

====Name origin====
Honedge may be a combination of ''hone'', ''one'', and ''edge''.

Hitotsuki may be a combination of 一つ ''hitotsu'' (one) and 突き ''tsuki'' (stab, lunge, or thrust) or 憑き ''tsuki'' ({{wp|spirit possession}}).

Jaune Plaza

Keegster2: Ending the plaza edit spree with another minor one. I can't remember if there are stalls that are only open before the wild zone opens; the game kinda took me by surprise with it getting wild-zone'd.

'''Rouge Plaza''' (Japanese: '''ルージュ{{ruby|広場|ひろば}}''' ''Rouge Plaza'') is a lush plaza located in the middle of the [[Rouge District]] in northern [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region. It is connected to [[Centrico Plaza]] and [[North Boulevard]] by [[Rouge Street]].

==Description==
Rouge Plaza is a circular plaza. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Wild Zone 3]] is built in the middle of the plaza as one of the initially built [[wild zone]]s.

==In the games==

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
[[File:ZA Rouge Plaza.png|thumb|350px|Rouge Plaza as it appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A prior to the construction of Wild Zone 3]]
[[Wild Zone 3]] takes up the majority of the space on the plaza from the beginning of the game. Outside of the wild zone, there is a girl working with [[Mabel]] who will give the player 3 [[Great Ball]]s.

On the north side of the plaza, a [[Pokémon Center lady|Pokémon Center Clerk]] has converted her food stall into a travelling [[Pokémon Center]], and will fully heal the player's party if spoken to. Unlike proper Pokémon Centers, the stall does not sell any items.

The plaza is additionally used as one of the 3 multiplayer battle venues in Link Battles.

==Description==
Vert Plaza is a circular plaza. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Wild Zone 2]] is built in the middle of the plaza as one of the initial [[wild zone]]s. It takes up most of the space of the plaza and contains several habitats friendly to {{t|Water}} Pokémon.

==In the games==
===Pokémon X and Y===
A {{tc|Roller Skater}} who tells the player about the [[Roller Skates#Tricks|drift-and-dash]] trick can be found in the plaza.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
[[File:ZA Vert Plaza.png|thumb|350px|Vert Plaza as it appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A prior to the construction of Wild Zone 2]]
[[Wild Zone 2]] takes up the majority of the space on the plaza once the player picks their [[first partner Pokémon]]. Visiting the area before then is only possible through a [[glitch]] in the game. Doing so allows the player to pick up an [[Exp. Candy S]] spawn in the area that would later become Wild Zone 2 without breaking the rock obstruction. All other item spawns located in Wild Zone 2 only appear after its construction.

Outside of the wild zone, there is a Trainer who will give the player 10 {{i|Poké Ball}}s during their first visit.

List of permanently missable items

2025-12-07T05:03:47Z

Keegster2: /* In the core series games */ Just beat the main story, and I knew I had to add this to the page. I feel reluctant to add a casual mention of major, end-game spoilers for the latest Pokémon game, but these are items that should be on this page.

This is a '''list of [[item]]s in the [[Pokémon games]] that can be permanently missed'''.

This page does not include items that are missed by choosing another item (such as mutually exclusive [[Fossil]]s), items missable due to exploiting [[glitch]]es, nor [[event item]]s. Furthermore, items that can no longer be obtained after the internal battery of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or {{v2|Emerald}} runs dry are also excluded.

==In the core series games==
===Kanto===
====[[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]====
In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}} games, five {{i|Poké Ball}}s can be obtained from [[Professor Oak]] after defeating the {{ga|Blue|rival}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}} if the {{player}} has no Poké Balls in the bag and has added no caught data to the [[Pokédex]] aside from [[first partner Pokémon]].

{{itlistfoot|building}}

====[[S.S. Anne]]====
=====Port=====
This item can only be obtained if {{m|Surf}} is used while the [[S.S. Anne]] is still in {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}}. Once the S.S. Anne leaves, the {{player}} cannot access the area in which Surf must be used again.

{{Itlisth|ocean}}
{{itemlist|Lava Cookie|Far southeast of the [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|truck]], in the southeast corner, only accessible while the [[S.S. Anne]] is moored in {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}} (requires {{m|Surf}}) ''(hidden)''|FR=yes|LG=yes}}
{{Itlistfoot|ocean}}

=====Ship=====
In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed, LeafGreen}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]] after obtaining {{HM|01|Cut}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/learning [[Secret Technique|Chop Down]]{{sup/7|PE}} and leaving the [[S.S. Anne]], it sets sail.

In the Generation I games, exploiting [[List of glitches in Generation I#Save Surf exploit|a glitch]] can allow the player to board the S.S. Anne after it has left. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player can receive extra {{i|Poké Ball}}s for defeating the Trainers on the ship, but if the player doesn't battle a Trainer before learning the Secret Technique from the captain, that Trainer will act as if already defeated and cannot be battled.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], if the player hasn't defeated {{tc|Juggler}} Dalton before defeating [[Giovanni]] at the top floor of the [[Silph Co.]], he will disappear from the building, along with the rest of the Trainers associated with [[Team Rocket]], and the three {{i|Poké Ball}}s he hands out upon being beaten become unobtainable.

====[[Mahogany Town]]====
In the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Slowpoke Tail]] can be bought for {{PDollar}}9800 in {{DL|Mahogany Town|Just a Souvenir Shop}} prior to speaking to [[Lance]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Once Lance opens the secret entrance to the [[Team Rocket HQ]], the salesman no longer sells anything, and once the player has cleared the HQ, the Slowpoke Tail is not a part of the new merchant's selection of buyable items. The tail isn't available for sale at the shop at any point during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, even though it exists in the game's coding.

If the player does not pick up the items on the course before making the drop at its end, these items are permanently unobtainable, as the player cannot go back after the drop, and the scaffolding is removed by the next time the player is allowed to freely explore [[Lumiose City]] after completing the main story.

====Trainers' Pokémon's held items====
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], during the initial battle with [[Hunter]] Doken at the entrance to [[Pyrite Cave]], his Shadow {{p|Qwilfish}} is holding a [[Poison Barb]] but not in subsequent rematches, so if it is not snagged or the item is not stolen with {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, or {{m|Trick}} (although only Thief can be obtained at this point under normal gameplay) when he is battled, it is impossible to obtain it later. This is the only way to obtain a Poison Barb in Pokémon Colosseum without trading.

====Gateon Port====
At [[Gateon Port]], if the player does an interview with Emili's mom, Acri, they will receive an item depending on how many times they said “yes” to her questions. If they say “yes” to all three questions, they will receive an [[Amulet Coin]] from her. Otherwise they will receive a different item. This is the only way to obtain an Amulet Coin in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness without trading, while the other three items are available elsewhere.

====ONBS====
At [[ONBS]], if the player returns a girl named Kandee on 2F to her mother on 3F before [[Cipher]] invades the building, they will receive a [[Soothe Bell]] from her mother. If the invasion has already happened, Kandee will have already been reunited with her mother and the Soothe Bell cannot be obtained. This is the only way to obtain a Soothe Bell in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness without trading.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], during the post-game battle with [[Eagun]] at the [[Pokémon HQ Lab]], both of his {{p|Pikachu}} are each holding a [[Light Ball]]. Eagun cannot be rematched, so if it they are not stolen with {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, or {{m|Trick}} when he is battled, it is impossible to obtain them later. This is the only way to obtain a Light Ball in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness without trading.

===Trading Card Game series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, a Lad in the west room of the [[Fire Club]] asks the player to give him all of their unused {{TCG|Energy card}}s. If the player agrees, the Lad will talk about a [[Slowpoke (Promotional Card P11)|Slowpoke]] card hidden in the room, which can then be found by inspecting the tile mentioned. If the player refuses, the Lad goes away without mentioning the card, which becomes permanently unobtainable. However, additional copies of this Slowpoke card may still be given out randomly as the prize for completing a Challenge Cup tournament.

In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], it is possible to delete mail from the [[Minicom]] without reading it or getting any attached {{TCG|booster pack|booster packs}}. The mail and attached booster packs cannot be recovered if deleted.

'''Spinda''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチール''' ''Patcheel'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

Spinda is known for its variations, with each individual almost always having its own [[Variant Pokémon#Spinda|unique spot pattern]].

==Biology==
Spinda is a bipedal, red panda {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with rabbit-like features. Its eyes are made of two black spirals, which point in the opposite direction to each other. There is a similar swirling pattern on its ears. It has a small body with short stumpy arms and legs, and its coat is primarily cream-colored. Its arms are red and it has a red stripe bordering along the bottom of its belly, as well as two small spots on the soles of its feet. It has four spots, which can appear anywhere on its face and ears, with a fifth on the back of its head. These spot patterns are different for each and every Spinda.

It has dizzying, confusing, and scattering dance-like movements, though it thinks it is walking in a straight line. These movements confuse their opponents and make it difficult for them to aim at it. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Teeter Dance}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: One day, a Spinda appears in [[Pokémon Square]] and collapses. When it regains consciousness, Spinda explains that it is giving up a long journey to find the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}} and hands its one clue, the Clear Wing, to the player. The player must then solve [[the Mystery of the Mirage Pokémon]], which will reward them with the Rainbow Wing. Upon showing the Rainbow Wing to Spinda, or talking to Spinda as Ho-Oh, it becomes happy and leaves Pokémon Square.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: A Spinda runs [[Spinda's Café]] and takes over the juice bar. A {{p|Wynaut}} and a {{p|Wobbuffet}} also work at the café running the recycle shop. Later in the game, Project P is introduced. After it is introduced, occasionally when speaking to Wynaut the player may gain access to a dungeon normally accessed by selecting a job with ??? as the location or get a choice of more items in the recycle shop.

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

==In the TFG==
One Spinda figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Spinda|32}}

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], {{m|Toxic}} is depicted as two purple orbs spinning around each other towards the target. However, when Spinda uses Toxic, the orbs travel erratically. The same animation is used for {{p|Carnivine}}.
* Like {{p|Whirlipede}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it usually spins in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Spinda's {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} [[Pokédex entry]] states that Spinda believe they walk in straight lines, oblivious to their teetering gait. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], an NPC Spinda tells the player; ''"When I walk, I always totter."'', clearly being aware of this trait.
* Spinda and {{p|Deoxys}} are the only Pokémon to lack a second frame of animation for their front sprite in {{pkmn|Emerald|Pokémon Emerald}}.

===Spot patterns===
* Some of Spinda's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention the odds of two Spinda having the same spot pattern as less than one in four billion. Since Spinda's spots are based on its [[personality value]] (or encryption constant in later games), which is a 32-bit number, a simplistic model would put the odds at 1 in 4,294,967,296, which is indeed smaller than one in four billion; however, it is actually possible for two personality values to produce spot patterns that are visually identical, so the real odds are somewhat higher.
** Using [https://wokann.github.io/Tool/Spinda_Painter/Spinda%20Painter%201.3.2.htm this app], it can be found that two dots have 256 distinct locations, one dot has 254, and one dot has 237, counting all locations where the dot is entirely off-sprite as the same. This results in a total of 3,945,136,128 patterns. However, even this total is slightly too high, because if the upper left dot is far enough down and to the right, it can entirely eclipse the lower-left dot, resulting in a few more patterns being indistinguishable. Compare, for example, 0x0E07F5FB and 0x0EF0F5FB.
** The fewest spots a Spinda can visibly have is 1 - the sprite's leftmost spots can land entirely off the sprite, while the rightmost spots cannot, but instead can entirely overlap.
** In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|glitch]] this value is interpreted as big-endian, causing the spot pattern to be rendered incorrectly. As an example, a value of <code><span style="background:#FF9999">12</span><span style="background:#9999FF">34</span><span style="background:#99FF99">56</span><span style="background:#FFFF99">78</span></code> (hexadecimal) would be interpreted as <code><span style="background:#FF9999">78</span><span style="background:#9999FF">56</span><span style="background:#99FF99">34</span><span style="background:#FFFF99">12</span></code> instead.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1500557458623778819</ref>
** In [[Pokémon HOME]] v2.1.1 and prior versions, when opening the [[summary]] of a Spinda in the mobile app, Spinda would display the correct spot pattern, identical to its appearance in [[Generation VI]] and below. In HOME v3.0.0 all Spinda were displayed as having the same pattern as the static rendered image used in all HOME menus.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1665787431009001472</ref> The encryption constant of Spinda in HOME remained unchanged (which meant that if transferred out of HOME into a compatible game, they would have likely retained their original spot pattern), however HOME's mobile app no longer displayed the spot pattern associated with the encryption constant of a given individual Spinda, all appearing identical to the "stock" rendered image of Spinda. This was resolved in v3.0.1.<ref name="Spinda HOME">https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1676088622943207424</ref>
*** The value internally used in Pokémon HOME as the "default" pattern for Spinda is <code><span style="background:#FF9999">7A</span><span style="background:#9999FF">39</span><span style="background:#99FF99">78</span><span style="background:#FFFF99">66</span></code>,<ref name="Spinda HOME"/> which is a close match to the pattern shown in nearly all official artwork, sprites, and 3D renders of Spinda.
** In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's [[Super Contest Show]]s, the encryption constant is generated randomly instead of using the value from Pokémon the player selects, which for Spinda results in completely random spot patterns appearing for the duration of the contest, regardless of their true spot pattern.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240827022907/https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1828258413442142257</ref>
** In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the temporary Pokédex entry created before catching a Spinda uses value of <code><span style="background:#FF9999">00</span><span style="background:#9999FF">00</span><span style="background:#99FF99">00</span><span style="background:#FFFF99">00</span></code> before being overwritten by the obtained one; however, if the player's first Spinda is obtained via a trade, this value becomes permanent instead of being properly overwritten. This oversight is fixed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1g58JP0BfE The Spinda Rabbit Hole Goes Deeper than You Think]</ref>
* Unlike other Pokémon with no [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] does not display a single model for both male and female Spinda, but rather a separate one for each. The models used are whatever the first spot patterns caught of each gender were.
** The Pokédex preview models for each gender, however, will always be a set model that will likely differ from the model the player will see.
* {{g|HOME}} cannot transfer Spinda into or out of {{g|GO}} or {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to inconsistencies in how its spot patterns works.
** In Pokémon GO, Spinda has nine predetermined forms rather than random patterns.
*** As a result, Spinda is one of only three Pokémon obtainable in GO that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|GO icon}} as its [[origin mark]], the others being {{p|Zygarde}} and {{p|Eternatus}}.
** In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, this is due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitch|bug]] in the game, which causes the encryption constant to be read as a {{wp|Endianness|big-endian}} value (i.e. bytes are read in reverse order), and would allow the possibility to indirectly change Spinda's spot pattern. Spinda is the only Pokémon that cannot be transferred out of these games.

===Origin===
Spinda appears to be based on a {{wp|Qinling panda}} with traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s. It also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}} or other {{wp|stuffed toy}}. The swirls in its eyes are based on a cartoonish representation of someone being dazed or dizzy, and its staggering steps resemble the {{wp|drunken boxing}} style of martial arts, which attempt to imitate the movements of a drunk person to become unpredictable and elusive. The connection between Qinling pandas and dizziness may stem from the {{wp|Qinling|Qinling mountains}} upon which these pandas live – the mountains suffer metal pollution in its soil and plant life, which can lead to {{wp|metal toxicity|metal poisoning}}, including dizziness and confusion, for its inhabitants over time.<ref>''[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0048969719310484?via%3Dihub "Establish an environmentally sustainable Giant Panda National Park in the Qinling Mountains"]'', ''Science of the Total Environment'', 10th June 2019</ref> Spinda's habitat of [[Hoenn Route 113|Route 113]] is used as farmland, possibly in reference to agricultural run-offs being a source of pollution in Qinling. Additionally, Qinling pandas can live as high as {{tt|3'000 metres|approx 9843 feet}} up the Qinling mountains, which is enough to cause dizziness in humans through {{wp|altitude sickness}}.

The use of "patch" in Spinda's Japanese name could refer to patches of fabric used to cover tears in a material. Spinda's random spots would then be the various bandages attached to a toy that has been damaged due to rough play, or even a toddler that has fallen over many times due to their inability to walk stably.

====Name origin====
Spinda may be a combination of ''spin'' and ''panda''.

Patcheel may be a combination of ''patch'' and ''reel'' (to lose one's balance).
