Manga move errors

2020-03-15T08:42:30Z

Keyacom: /* Pokémon Adventures */

In the [[Pokémon manga]], a situation will sometimes occur in which a Pokémon knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games.

Occasionally, in-game event Pokémon that can be transferred onto the main series games have a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).

==List of manga Pokémon with moves that they cannot learn in the games==

===[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]===
Pokémon in [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]] will often use moves that they cannot learn in the games. However, this is because this series is based on the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], so the "illegal" moves Pokémon use in this series are moves [[TCG move errors|from their TCG cards]].

== Sugimori Ken's Artwork ==

I think it was a good idea to replace the FireRed/LeafGreen artworks to the Red/Blue artworks (in the case of Generation I Pokémon). So I was thinking about you guys placing a section on every Pokémon to put Sugimori Ken's atwork of every game they appeared. Sorry if it looks too pushy XD.
PS¹: I call Sugimori Ken because it's the Japanese way to say his name.

== PokémonInfobox - Artwork/Image size? ==

I'm new to Bulbapedia, so I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere, but anyway...

Someone in the [[Talk:Karrablast_(Pokémon)]] page pointed out that [[Karrablast]]'s image seems a bit big. Out of curiosity, I checked a few other pages and noticed some inconsistency in the size of the Sugimori art on the Pokémon pages; e.g., [[Karrablast]] (200x308), [[Shelmet]] (180x168), [[Accelgor]] (180x162), and [[Escavalier]] (200x244) -- Should the larger images be scaled down to 180px? Is there a standard already for this? Thanks. -- [[User:GranoblasticMan|GranoblasticMan]] ([[User talk:GranoblasticMan|talk]]) 17:02, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

== Xerneas and Yveatal ==
Is anyone going to create these pages? Just revealed at http://www.pokemon.com/pokemonxy/en-us/ {{unsigned|Plusleminun311312}}

== Game data location ==
Why is "Game data" below "In the anime/manga/TCG/TFG" sections? All of those are based on the games. Other articles always have their "In the games" section before their "In the anime/manga/TCG/TFG" sections. This is without commenting on the comparative usefulness of "Game data" sections to the users browsing this site. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 13:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

== Biology section problems ==
The Biology sections are all too free-form as of now. I think this can be changed by sourcing every line of information included in them, through the use of cite notes. This would rid the sections of baseless information, and make clear when information is exclusive to portrayals in the anime (or other non-main series game sources), which is appropriate given the large difference between the sources. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 13:35, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Tynamo_(Pokémon)&diff=1887589&oldid=1887476 This Tynamo article edit] is an example of what I have in mind. Its implications on this particular article's previous/current content are small, but it will serve to prevent future additions of baseless information, while organizing where the information comes from. What can be achieved through such sourcing should be clear if you imagine its application to a Biology section like that of the Ivysaur article. Given the nature of Bulbapedia's Biology sections, which I'd argue differ significantly from other site content in terms of what gets past the radar, I think sourcing is in place. Thoughts?

::Speaking as someone who has been repeatedly vexed by wondering whether new accounts are making things up or adding legitimate info from anime/manga/side games that I haven't seen/read/played, I think this is a fantastic idea, and fully endorse it. (As a side note -- and not to disrupt the main point of discussion or steal its spotlight -- it might also be nice to implement citations for cases in which a primary source such as a game or movie is not yet available to the public, especially when the info is not easily accessible in English; see, for example, my confusion about New Tork City on the talk page for Genesect Army. But that's a suggestion for somewhere else, not Project Pokedex.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== External links to strategy pages ==

Every species article has an external link, or several, in its top infobox, to its web page(s) at smogon.com. Assuming that this is (A) desired, and (B) done for the game data information (Abilities, base stats, moves learned) included on those pages, and not for the strategic advice (this is an encyclopedia) it is linking directly to, I suggest adding a "/moves" at the end of the smogon.com URLs included in the templates named "Template:Links/<number of generation>". This would link to a page with all the game data information, and game data information only, instead of a page with only some of the game data and a whole lot of strategic advice. I do not have permission to edit these template pages myself. There's also the issue of the links to strategy pages awkwardly cluttering up the "External links" sections of articles such as Deoxys's and Rotom's - why have these? [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 09:56, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
:I disagree here. The point of linking to Smogon is that as an encyclopedia we don't provide strategic advice, but Smogon does. As we are affiliated with Smogon to some extent, we're also supporting their site. I don't see the point in linking to the moves page on Smogon over the general strategy page, as we already provide the moves info; the purpose of the link is to provide additional information we don't and shouldn't as an encyclopedia. As for Deoxys and Rotom, I think it would be better to put all the external links in the infobox with the others. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then assumption B was completely off. I didn't think this was the intention, nor was I aware of any affiliation - care to explain it? As for your reservation towards linking for the sake of (mirroring) game data information, I thought this was a plausible explanation (at least more than strategic advice) since that's essentially what Bulbapedia does with its external links to sites such as veekun.com and legendarypokemon.net. Maybe I'm misunderstanding some overall crediting process/affiliation due to being unaware of how Bulbapedia editors other than myself obtain the information they add to articles of species, moves, Abilities, etc. Anyway, the statement "''The point of linking to Smogon is that as an encyclopedia we don't provide strategic advice, but Smogon does.''" is empty without explaining why an encyclopedia needs anything to do with strategic advice in the first place. Sure, a reader may want strategic advice about the Pokémon whose article they're reading, but they may also wish to discuss/look at fan-made drawings of/read fiction about/eat cookies shaped like/etc. that Pokémon; all of which are services Bulbapedia doesn't link to sites that provide. As for Deoxys and Rotom (along with Wormadam, Giratina and Shaymin), I have now brought this up and can do little more than hope others will fix it. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 11:06, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Well, recently the Bulbapedia Twitter put out a question asking people what they wanted from Bulbapedia, and one of the things they specified was that they wanted competitive information. As an encyclopedia we can't really provide that, but Smogon is considered the go-to site for that, and the link allows people to obtain competitive information without Bulbapedia having to worry about subjective content (Smogon does all the worrying about that). Veekun has information that Bulbapedia does not always necessarily have (particularly cries and the "Ridiculously detailed breakdown" of locations). As for the nature of our affiliation with Smogon... I'm not entirely sure about that myself; affiliation has always been messy, and there is currently an effort to clean it up. There were plans to remove LegendaryPokemon.net links altogether. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:17, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

== Mega Evolutions ==

As the games are knocking at our door already, we must think about the Mega Evolutions. If we're going to keep only the standard pokémon pages and add the Mega info at them, the infoboxes will be a little problem, easily solved by creating the templates "Mega Types" (typem) and "Mega Ability" (abilitym). But my opinion is that we create new pages for every new Mega Evolution and put the links in the first line of the Standard Pokémon, with some statement visible at far ("This pokémon goes Mega", with the link placed in the term "Mega", or "This pokémon goes Mega: Mega?????", with the link placed in the Mega??????, 'coz Mewtwo already have 2 Mega forms, so we could list the forms and put a link for each one). What do all of you think? --[[User:Subzerobrasil|Subzerobrasil]] 06:49, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

==Pronunciations==

I have discussed the topic of adding pronunciations to the Bulbapedia Pokedex, and have received negative(not mean just not fond of the idea) feedback from the
Administrator [[User:Force Fire]]. I understand that it seems almost impossible to do this, considering that there are many conflicting Pokemon name pronunciations
within the anime, but by using official licensed Nintendo Pokedex books with pronunciations like: "The Official Pokemon Handbook" from 1998 concerning the original
151+Togepi, '''and''' by acknowledging the most common pronunciations(that word is in here a lot...) from the multiple anime series, I believe that it could be accomplished
from joint efforts from Bulbapedia members. If any Admins or members don't like this idea or love it, please respond in this post. -[[User:WilliWonka.|WilliWonka.]] 03:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

== Hongkongian names ==

There are two things I really hope to point out.
# The Hongkongian names are supposed to be accurate. But the Romanization is not standardized. Sometimes it is using diacritics and sometimes completely non-notated with any accent. I really want to know if I am allowed to join up and fix them with consistent standards. There are at least 4 standards: Yale Diacritic, IPA Diacritic, Jyutping with numbers and plain letters. If we take Bulbasaur as an example, the 4 different notations are respectively:
## Yale: Kèijizúngzí
## IPA: K̖eijìzǔngzĭ
## Numberings: Kei4 Ji6 Zung2 Zi2
## Plain letters: Keijizungzi
## In Bulbapedia now: Gēiyihjungjí
# When the first generation of the Pokémon was out, Hong Kong was still under the British rule (year of handover: 1997). Instead of the red flag with a strange ventilating fan, we used the Blue flag with Union Jack and the Coat of Arms for Hong Kong. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Hong_Kong_1959.svg] I think if we change all the flags pertaining to Hong Kong back to this blue flag, it will be more correct historically. It should apply to the First Generation only.

While browsing about the Web, I noticed that PokéWiki (the German equivalent of Bulbapedia), which is a part of "Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis", has Pokemon cries in their Pokédex.

== Pokédex Number for certain Generation IV evolutions ==

This goes for any Generation IV evolution of a Pokémon in the Generation III Hoenn Pokédex: is there a way to remove the "000 in Generation III" from its Regional Pokédex Numbers? [[Froslass (Pokémon)|Here's an example.]] It's technically incorrect, as no data equating to any individual Generation IV evolution appears in the code of a Generation III game, and while potentially confusing, the biggest issue, to me, is that it is annoying.

: Unless I'm mistaken, thye're the same entries as in ORAS, so it's unlikely. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 22:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

== Ability changes ==

The Pokemon infobox template needs some way to say that Pelipper can't have drizzle before Generation 7. Also last year, I said that Pokemon infobox templates are missing USUM Pokedex numbers, and nobody responded. Does nobody care about that problem? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:21, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
: I'm not sure personally how to note that in Pelipper's infobox, however, regardings numbers. Sorry I didn't see your question last year but if you read the talk page on PokemonInfobox when you commented there with the same question that year, you'd find I had already answered the question twice on that page. USUM numbers won't be getting added to the infobox and in the (hopeful near) future, will be getting removed entirely, that's why we've been adding them to the Pokdex entry template. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 22:35, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
::I can see two ways to solve Pelipper's Ability problem without much trouble, but maybe they will still need some work in the template's code. The first would be adding one of those "mouse scroll notes" (or whatever they are called), like this: [[Keen Eye (Ability)|{{color|000|Keen Eye}}]] or [[Drizzle (Ability)|{{color|000|Drizzle}}]]{{tt|*|Generation VII only}}. The other would be with the game's note: [[Keen Eye (Ability)|{{color|000|Keen Eye}}]] or [[Drizzle (Ability)|{{color|000|Drizzle}}]]{{sup/7|SM}}{{sup/7|USUM}}. Even though they are both a bit different from the usual setting we have for the Abilities in the infobox template, I think it wouldn't be a big issue, since this is an exceptional case. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 02:24, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
:::I think the first idea can work, but the second one would cause slightly ugly clutter. For example, Seadra's abilities would be listed as "Poison Point or Sniper{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}{{sup/6|XYORAS}}{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}". A third possibility is putting changes under a horizontal line (segment) like what we already did on {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Scolipede}}. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 16:17, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
::::Well, I wasn't considering the abilities changed between generations III and IV, but if you take them into account, I agree that my second idea wouldn't work so well. The way it is done in Gengar's page could also work, but might cause some confusion since it would repeat one of the abilities but give no further explanation about the other, which is the one that was actually changed. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 20:25, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

== Two things ==

# I would want to reword the sentence about unique base stat totals. Example (with {{p|Morpeko}}):
#* “Morpeko is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 436”. - before rewording
#* “Morpeko's base stat total of 436 is [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|unique]]”. - after rewording
# The staff icon for {{u|Jo The Marten}} wasn't updated on the page about this project.
Please leave comments below for point 1, and the point 2 is an edit request. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheI''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''CTLi''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''ker4''']] 08:05, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

== Generational Context ==

Please stop reverting Yaronos, they are correct. The Egg Group shown should be the Egg Group from whatever generation the move is available in, in this case, since the moves are only available pre-Generation VIII the Egg Groups shown should be their Egg Group before Generation VIII. The same goes to types. The only exception is if the move is available in Generation VIII then it would show the Pokemon's current Egg Group (if it has changed).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:35, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

== Reply ==
Gosh that was a while ago. Nice catch. Thanks for analysing E O, the page is interesting/useful (if no one else finds it, for me at least) even though its in user space.

I unfortunately don't know, other than "this happened when forcing an evolution with the free ball movement feature of the debug menu code" but I can offer the context. Also sorry, I stepped down from emulation, so analysing to machine level now is very hard for me - however, I know how to generate addresses to RAW codes to a supported form; so if there's enough information I can still make a code for a cheating device; all is needed is an address/pointer/offset that the game reads to identify the Pokémon, and analysis.

For the "glitch Pokémon" E O (so far it seems as [[cheating device]] only); the only known way is by using the debug mode to evolve Solrock). I'm not very familiar with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire pinball's data structure to make my own codes to get these in the dex and such too. Regarding people here who may help, it may be good to ask [[User:Tiddlywinks]], who is one of the staff with programming knowledge. Another good bet is [[User:IIMarckus]]; he is a busy person and created the Pokémon Red disassembly, though Gen III isn't his forte. [[User:Metarkrai]] and [[User:Bluesun]] may also know. at the same time.

I'm cautious about creating it because we don't know its [[index number]], nor if the name is consistent. (like with [[óË e Ái]] (on GCL I moved it to scrolling beige box) but its index number would match [[- (glitch Pokémon)]] (0x019C). Another similar case here, was through "invisible Shiny Bulbasaur" and "DPBox" - both were subtly different but had the same index number; and it depends on your definition of "glitch Pokémon".

Glitches and glitch articles due to their nature, can have systematic subjectiveness and empirical bias (they need to be tested from multiple people), for instance the name "E O" may be from [[wikipedia:RAM|RAM]] - the short answer "random" the long answer "it depends on this hardware state, or say.. the score could even influence it (like how scientific theories are proven wrong - this is what people in one of the Discord groups I'm in are in are calling "empirical glitching"; it may be E O but the name pointer may not be a consistent source (if you grab binary, then bytes, then character encoding (can be as simple as 01 is A, 02 is B, but it depends on the game) a way to end the sequence you create a structure; it could be a table of names like Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur but what if the source of the table is a progress variable like your Pokédex flags?

[[User:SnorlaxMonster]] used to be head of glitch here, I'll forward it on to him. As you likely know, there was a point where debate like this was visible; cheating device glitch Pokémon have been deleted, but eventually non-cheating ways to get them were found (and the articles were restored; the ones with clear index numbers, except for things like [[Bad Egg]]) (though that one if Generation III counts as the first Bad Egg (debatable) is complex; is the game grabbing [[- (glitch Pokémon)|-]]'s sprite? Bad Egg is just the error message?)

OK; these ones probably vary: name, cry, whether any Pokémon becomes it or if it's just a Solrock evolution. From how I gather it, its sprite may be like [[??????????]]; constant (the exception with that is you can get different coloured Decamarks, and I do have a very faint memory someone bypassed the "? in circle" sprite once. So these Pokémon are a class of glitch Pokémon like Pokémon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire "?" sprite glitch Pokémon. If it is like Ruby/Sapphire, documenting them all could take forever; because Generation III Pokémon games have used two bytes for Pokémon, there could be ((2^8)^2) or 65536 of them. The other complication is: what do these glitch Pokémon evolve into rather than Solrock becomes this one? So a glitch Pokémon could evolve into a normal, or another Pokémon. Statistically, it could evolve into one of the 386(?)/65536 valid ones, but would you may find the glitch Pokémon evolving into other glitch Pokémon; another reason why index numbers can be important, and programmers know nothing is truly random with enough information.

Hope this clears some things. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. [[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 12:36, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Sword''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソード''' ''Pocket Monsters Sword'') and '''Pokémon Shield''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシールド''' ''Pocket Monsters Shield'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VIII]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on November 15, 2019 for both retail sale and download. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

During E3 2017, [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] announced that the next core series titles would be available on the [[Nintendo Switch]], but they were not prepared to release any more information at the time. On May 30, 2018, The Pokémon Company gave a [[Pokémon Press Conference|press conference]] and announced that the new core games would have more traditional gameplay, as opposed to that found in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

The games were formally announced on [[Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2019 at 11 pm JST during a worldwide announcement through [[Nintendo Direct]] hosted by Tsunekazu Ishihara, [[Junichi Masuda]], and [[Shigeru Ohmori]]. An official trailer was shown, giving information on the region and the [[starter Pokémon]] players can choose from.

The [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] was revealed during a [[Pokémon Direct]] on January 9, 2020; it adds two new post-game areas to the game, [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} is a young child who lives with {{gal|Mum|their mother}} in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, the player's friend [[Hop]] invites them to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from him. After receiving their starters, the player and Hop follow a runaway {{p|Wooloo}} into the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Inside the foggy forest, they encounter a mysterious Pokémon that is completely unaffected by [[move]]s. They are soon rescued by Leon, and set out to receive an [[endorsement]] from him so that they can participate in Galar's [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. After some convincing by [[Professor Magnolia]], Leon agrees to give both the player and Hop an endorsement. Just then, two [[Wishing Star]]s fall out of the sky, and Professor Magnolia converts them into [[Dynamax Band]]s for the player and Hop, allowing them to [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon. The player and Hop then travel together to [[Motostoke]] to attend the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony, where they meet {{FB|Chairman|Rose}}, the president of [[Macro Cosmos]] and the chairman of the Galar Pokémon League, as well as a band of hooligans known as [[Team Yell]].

After the opening ceremony, the player sets out to collect the eight [[Badge]]s required to compete in the Champion Cup tournament from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region. Along the way, Professor Magnolia's granddaughter and [[Professors' aides|assistant]] [[Sonia]] tells them about Galar's history and a mysterious event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. The player ends up uncovering pieces of the Darkest Day's history during their {{pkmn|journey}}, much to Sonia's pleasure. Eventually, the player manages to successfully collect the eight Badges and travels to [[Wyndon]], where the Champion Cup is held. They win their way through the Champion Cup semifinals, where they defeat Hop and end his dream of surpassing his brother. After confronting Macro Cosmos's vice-president [[Oleana]] at [[Rose Tower]], the player participates in the Champion Cup finals and wins their way through it, earning themselves the right to challenge Leon.

However, just before the player and Leon's battle can begin, Rose makes a public announcement, revealing that he's going to bring about the second Darkest Day to save Galar from an energy crisis a thousand years in the future. To stop Rose's plans, the player and Hop travel to the Slumbering Weald again to seek help from the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, one of whom had been the mysterious Pokémon they saw at the start of their journey. They find and take along a [[Rusted Sword]] and a [[Rusted Shield]] from the heart of the forest and go to confront Rose in [[Hammerlocke]], where it is revealed that the Darkest Day is the result of Rose awakening a Legendary Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}}. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop go to face Eternatus at the top of the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], where Leon unsuccessfully tries to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, forcing the player to battle it. Once Eternatus seems to have been defeated, however, it suddenly transforms into its even more powerful Eternamax form. However, thanks to the sword and the shield they found, the player and Hop are able to summon Zacian and Zamazenta to their aid, and together, they defeat Eternatus in a [[Max Raid Battle]], allowing the player to catch it and thus end the crisis. Three days later, the player finally takes on Leon in a battle at [[Wyndon Stadium]] and defeats him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion and making the player the new Champion of Galar.

During the post-game, the player and Hop travel to the heart of Slumbering Weald to return the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield, only to be confronted by the rich brothers [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who try to steal the artifacts. Although the player manages to defeat one of the brothers and recover one of the stolen items, the two still manage to get away with the other one. The player and Hop are then forced to travel around Galar to stop the Dynamax Pokémon the brothers have let loose at the [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]]. They finally confront them again at Hammerlocke Stadium, where they reveal their plan being to reinstate the Galarian monarchy and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Using the artifact they stole, the brothers lure in one of the Legendary Pokémon and drive it berserk, forcing the player to battle it. After it has been defeated, the other Legendary Pokémon appears as well, which the player battles and catches. During the battle, Hop follows the first Legendary to the heart of Slumbering Weald, where he successfully calms it down. Deeming Hop worthy of its trust, the Legendary Pokémon then willingly joins his [[party]]. The player and Hop then battle for one last time, after which Hop declares that his new dream is to become a [[Pokémon Professor]], and Sordward and Shielbert briefly reappear to apologise for their actions.

==Blurb==
A wild new adventure with Pokémon!

You can battle to be the best!

Carve a path to the future!{{sup/8|Sw}}/Protect the world from disaster!{{sup/8|Sh}}

Band together in new co-op battles!

==Features==
The games mixes some of the changes introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] with the more traditional gameplay last seen in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] now appear on the overworld, known as "symbol encounters", similar to the Let's Go games, as well as random encounters shaking in [[tall grass]].

Known as the Gym Challenge, [[Gym]]s that the player must battle with the goal of becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}} will return to the games, after being replaced by [[island challenge|trials]] in {{g|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The challenge culminates in the annual Champion Cup tournament where the player may challenge the Champion.

===Wild Area===
{{main|Wild Area}}
The Wild Area is a vast, open area that connects several towns in the [[Galar]] region. It is home to a wide variety of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Dynamax and Gigantamax===
{{main|Dynamax}} ''and [[Gigantamax]]''
Dynamax is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Galar region to power up and become larger using the [[Dynamax Band]]. After Dynamaxing, a Pokémon can use a [[Max Move]].

Gigantamax is a special phenomenon that also changes the appearance of a few individuals of certain species of Pokémon. Like Dynamaxing, the Pokémon is increased in power and becomes bigger. A Gigantamax Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]].

===Max Raid Battles===
{{main|Max Raid Battle}}
Max Raid Battles are a new cooperative feature that allows up to four players to challenge a Dynamax Pokémon together over local wireless or [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

===Rotom Phone===
{{main|Rotom Phone}}
Replacing the [[Rotom Pokédex]] of the [[Generation VII]] games, the Rotom Phone acts not only as a [[Pokédex]] but also has additional features. It also acts as the main interface for the game's [[menu]].

===Y-Comm===
{{main|Y-Comm}}
The Y-Comm serves as an interface to connect with other players over local wireless or on the internet through [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. Players can [[trade]] (either a Link Trade or [[Surprise Trade]]), {{pkmn|battle}}, swap [[League Card]]s, and join [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

===Battle Stadium===
{{main|Battle Stadium}}
Replacing the [[Battle Spot]] from the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, the Battle Stadium allows players to participate in battles over the internet through [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. Players can participate in Ranked Battles, Casual Battles, and Official Competitions as well as host or join [[Friendly Competition]]s.

===Rotomi===
{{main|Rotomi}}
Rotomi replaces the [[PC]]s in previous games and has several features including allowing players to send their Pokémon on [[Poké Job]]s, design their [[League Card]], and draw for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner|Loto-ID]].

===Pokémon Camp===
{{main|Pokémon Camp}}
Pokémon Camp allows players can go camping and interact with their Pokémon, cook [[curry]], and visit other player's camps.

* Wild male {{p|Indeedee}} is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while wild female Indeedee is exclusive to Pokémon Shield. However, both genders can be obtained in either game through {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* Wild male {{p|Meowstic}} is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while wild female Meowstic is exclusive to Pokémon Shield. However, both genders can be obtained by evolving {{p|Espurr}} of the appropriate gender.
* Wild {{p|Sawk}} is exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while wild {{p|Throh}} is exclusive to Pokémon Shield. However, there is an [[in-game trade]] on [[Circhester]] where the player can trade a {{p|Vanillish}} to obtain Throh{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sawk{{sup/8|Sh}}.
* {{p|Cosmoem}} that are imported into the games via {{g|HOME}} evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}} in Pokémon Sword, and {{p|Lunala}} in Pokémon Shield.
* During normal gameplay, [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Machamp}} are exclusive to Sword, and Gigantamax {{p|Gengar}} to Shield. However, they have been made available by [[Wild Area News#March 9 to March 25, 2020|Wild Area News]].

==Compatibility==
Pokémon Sword and Shield can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]]. This allows it to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were transferred into Pokémon HOME.
Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Sword and Shield savefiles on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles. Through the mobile version of HOME, players can trade those Pokémon through the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], not natively featured in Sword and Shield, and the Wonder Box, a feature similar to Sword and Shield's [[Surprise Trade]] and the [[Wonder Trade]] of previous games.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and a select few "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield. The [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] will increase the number of Pokémon that can exist in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

===Supported Pokémon===
All Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex (including all [[regional variant]]s except regular Slowpoke) can be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield.

In addition to Pokémon in the regional Pokédex, the following select Pokémon can also be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield. Despite {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} being transferable to Pokémon Sword and Shield, regular Slowpoke and its evolved forms are not.

===Unusable moves===
{{main|List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)}}
In Sword and Shield, many moves are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game, and if a Pokémon does know one of these moves (e.g. due to being transferred from [[Pokémon HOME]]), it will not be able to use it. If the move is forgotten, the [[Move Reminder]] will not be able to teach it again, even if it is a special move that the Pokémon normally would be able to relearn.

In lieu of their usual descriptions, the placeholder text for these moves is as follows: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''"

Talk:Max Raid Battle

2020-03-11T19:37:21Z

Keyacom: /* Latest Wild Area news error */ new section

==Additional Info from Pokemon.com==
Information from an interview at E3 which was posted on Pokemon.com yesterday includes information stated by Shigeru Ohmori one of the developers that Max Raid Battles can be conducted without requiring four players. Instead NPC characters are used in place to fill the spots for Max Raid Battles.

Here is my source ([https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/we-interview-junichi-masuda-and-shigeru-ohmori-about-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ We Interview Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori about Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]), this information is listed under the "Dynamax Pokémon and Max Raid Battles" section. Any administrators who wish to have this information added to the page are free to do so and can use the link I provided as a reference link since it comes directly from Pokemon.com itself as well as looking over the article for any other useful tidbits of information. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 05:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

== Trainers named after their Pokémon in Japanese ==

* Pikachu's trainer Poppy is named イクエ(Ikue), after Pikachu's voice actor, Ikue Ōtani.
* Eevee's trainer Freya is named アオイ(Aoi), after Eevee's voice actor, Aoi Yūki.
* Wobbuffet's trainer Alfie is named シンイチロウ(Shinichirō), after James's voice actor, Shinichirō Miki.
Not sure where exactly in the article it should be put, so I thought I'd mention it here. [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] ([[User talk:Bluesun|talk]]) 15:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Investigated the other trainers and there's a section of 10 name cameos in a row. As well as the above three:
* Mudbray's trainer William is named ヒロキ(Hiroki), after Hiroki Kobari (Abareru-kun), a host of Pokénchi, who appeared with a Mudbray in the Sun & Moon anime.
* Magikarp's trainer Isabella is named リンカ(Rinka), after Rinka Ōtani, a host of Pokénchi, who appeared with a Magikarp in the Sun & Moon anime.
* Salazzle's trainer Arthur is named ケンイチ(Kenichi), after Kenichi Maeyamada, a host of Pokénchi, who appeared in the Sun & Moon anime.
* Weavile's trainer Ivy is named ショウコ(Shōko), after Shōko Nakagawa (Shokotan), a host of Pokénchi and its predecessors, who used a Weavile to battle on previous shows.
* Jolteon's trainer Nicki is named ニコル(Nicole), after Nicole Fujita, a regular guest on Pokénchi.

* Hawlucha's trainer Oscar is named ケント(Kento), after Kento Ishikawa, a Pokémon Card Game event MC, who also voiced and sung material for Ga-olé.
* Clefairy's trainer Amelia is named アイミ(Aimi), after Aimi Satō, a Pokémon Card Game event MC.

(Wait, who? Well, [[Vast_Poni_Canyon|the duo's apparently popular enough this isn't even the first game they've had name cameos in.]]) [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] ([[User talk:Bluesun|talk]]) 20:57, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

== Catch rates ==

For the catch rates, I made a change based on my own empirical experiences for Gigantamax Raids- though I want to mention these observations in case anyone wants to second them or counterargue against.
* Firstly, Serebii's values are most likely incorrect. They're even stated to be estimates. It shouldn't be cited or copied from at all.
* So far, I haven't had any Pokemon break out from Hosting a non-event Gigantamax Raid (and I haven't seen any reports of it either). Should be safe to assume it's guaranteed, and easy to prove otherwise.
* For Wild Area News, it appears Catch Rates are not different between Hosting or Guest. For Alcremie and Lapras, almost all mine was done as a Guest, and not a single one broke out of a Repeat Ball yet. (Which is consistent with the Species' rate.)
* If the Catch Rate really was the popularly cited ~20, then each Repeat Ball would only have about a 30% capture chance. Empirically my rate was way higher than that, except only for Snorlax, whose species rate is 25. Probably not exact, but it's safe to say that the Wild Area News catch rate is close to the species' than the arbitrary 20.

And just to reiterate, the edit I'm making to the catch rate table isn't to say they're the final values, but rather something more accurate than previously.

== Regular Moves Used by Raid Bosses ==

When I was playing in a max raid against a snorlax, it ended up calling Explosion (or maybe self-destruct) by using Metronome. The move failed, as it would if it was used by a regular pokemon, but it raises a question: Are there some moves that fail when used by a regular pokemon but not by the raid boss?

[[User:2nd Slash|2nd Slash]] ([[User talk:2nd Slash|talk]]) 21:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

: Absolutely, but these are generally noted on the individual move's page, I don't think there's a category page for it yet. For example, {{m|Heat Crash}} always fails in a raid battle. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 05:57, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Latest Wild Area news error ==

I am currently playing Shield, but somehow I am battling a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Machamp}}. Any reasons why? --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheI''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''CTLi''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''ker4''']] 19:37, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Max Raid Battle

2020-03-11T19:35:38Z

Keyacom: Undo revision 3131670 by TheICTLiker4 (talk)

[[File:Sword Shield Max Raid Battle artwork.png|thumb|Artwork of a Max Raid Battle against a [[Pangoro]]]]
A '''Max Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''マックスレイドバトル''' ''Max Raid Battle'') is a [[Pokémon battle]] in which four Trainers battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which remains Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed for the whole battle.

==In the games==
The player can start a Max Raid Battle by interacting with an active [[Pokémon Den]], indicated by a beam of light shooting up from it. If a den is inactive, the player can throw a [[Wishing Piece]] into it to summon a Dynamax Pokémon.

When starting a Max Raid Battle, players can see a silhouette of the Dynamax Pokémon, its [[type]]s, and a star rating of its difficulty. The current [[weather]] is also displayed. The loss condition, ''"The battle ends when Pokémon faint four times or the battle lasts for 10 turns"'', is displayed in the lower left corner. Additionally, the player can see the other three Trainers participating and the Pokémon they have selected to enter. Players have a time limit to select their Pokémon before the Max Raid Battle automatically starts with the Pokémon they have selected by default.

Four Trainers are required to conduct a Max Raid Battle. The player can connect with other players to challenge a Max Raid Battle by using the [[Y-Comm]] over the internet or local wireless. If there are less than four players, then the game will randomly select [[non-player character|NPC]] Trainers to fill in the remaining slots.

===Battle===
{{incomplete|section|Modified damage formula (it seems moves can be reduced to 0 damage) and OHKO accuracy formula under effect of mysterious barrier}}
Each Trainer uses a single Pokémon (from either their party or [[Pokémon Box Link|Box]]) against the Dynamax Pokémon. If a Trainer's Pokémon faints, they can cheer on the remaining Trainers as they attempt to complete the Max Raid Battle, which has the potential to generate positive effects such as healing or setting up Reflect; the fainted Pokémon will automatically be revived at full health the following turn. If the challengers' Pokémon faint a total of 4 times (even if it is the same Pokémon) or if the 10-turn limit is reached, the Max Raid Battle is lost. If the Dynamax Pokémon is successfully defeated, all four Trainers can attempt to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the Dynamax Pokémon and receive several various rewards based on the Dynamax Pokémon that was encountered. A Max Raid Battle can be repeatedly attempted until either the player wins (regardless of capture success) or when the dens reset.

Only one Trainer can Dynamax their Pokémon during a Max Raid Battle; unlike the wild Dynamax Pokémon, this transformation only lasts for the normal three turns. Each turn, one Trainer receives Dynamax Energy; only that player can Dynamax that turn, and if they do not, this energy is passed to another player next turn. The player who hosts the Max Raid Battle will always be the first to have the option to Dynamax.

Depending on the star level, the Dynamax Pokémon may be able to use regular moves in addition to Max Moves. It can also attack up to three times per turn and create a shockwave, which cancels the effect of the players' [[Ability|Abilities]] and stat changes and cures it of [[Status condition#Non-volatile status|Non-volatile status conditions]].

In three-star Max Raids and higher, the wild Dynamax Pokémon have specific HP thresholds in which they will create a protective barrier with two to eight segments, depending on its defensive power. In three- and four-star Max Raids, the Dynamax Pokémon will create a barrier one time; in five-star Max Raids, it will create a barrier twice, sometimes with the first barrier at the start of the battle. While this barrier is active, damage-dealing moves used against the Dynamax Pokémon are severely weakened and are unable to apply secondary effects, and status moves used against the Dynamax Pokémon will fail. Damage-dealing moves will deplete one bar of the barrier's strength, except [[Max Move]]s and [[one-hit knockout move]]s which instead deplete two bars. When the barrier runs out of bars, the barrier is destroyed, the Dynamax Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will drop by two stages, and it takes a portion of the damage it would have received while its barriers were active.

Some moves work differently when raid bosses use them, such as {{m|Belch}}, which will work regardless of berries, and {{m|Dig}} will have it attack immediately.

The following moves will fail if used in a Max Raid Battle:

===Capture===
{{incomplete|section|Catch rates for Wild Area News event likely inaccurate}}
Upon defeating the Dynamax Pokémon, each player has a single chance to capture it. As a rule, the host's capture chance is higher than that of the guests. Should the capture fail, the Pokémon will disappear. Regardless of the attempt's success (or if the player declined to catch it), all players will be awarded [[Candy|Exp. Candies]], [[TR]]s, and other items based on the Pokémon that was fought.

The caught Pokémon's moves and Ability will be the same as it was during the Max Raid Battle; some Dynamax Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles will have their [[Hidden Ability]]. If it was a [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, the caught Pokémon will have the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Pokémon caught in Max Raid Battles will also have a number of stats with the maximum 31 {{IV}}s and have increased their Dynamax Levels, increasingly with the Max Raid's difficulty.

The catch rate for a Dynamax Pokémon depends on several factors, such as whether or not the player is hosting the raid. They are all calculated with the Pokémon at 1 HP and no status conditions. If the Pokémon escapes, the host player may [[Soft resetting|restart]] the game before it autosaves and reattempt the Max Raid.

===Trainers===
If less than four players initiate a Max Raid Battle, a random selection of these NPC Trainers will populate the vacant positions. The level of their Pokémon is ×0.7 that of the host player's Pokémon (rounded down), therefore at a maximum Lv. 70 if the host player's Pokémon is Lv. 100.

===Special Max Raid Battles===
{{spoilers}}
In the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as several times in the post-game story involving [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], the player will participate in Max Raid Battles required to progress the story. In these battles, the player will have access to their full party. Initially, the player will be paired with special NPC partners, but eventually, the player will be challenged to fight their opponents by themselves.

These plot-mandatory Max Raid Battles experience some differences compared to the Max Raid Battles available in the Wild Area. The battles are not limited to a 10-turn time limit, nor will they be forcibly ended after Pokémon have fainted 4 times. The player is also not limited to a single Pokémon, and may use their full party in the manner of a normal battle; fainted Pokémon will not automatically be revived, and the Cheer option is unavailable.

====[[Tower summit]]====
In this semi-scripted Max Raid Battle, the player and [[Hop]] will try to fight {{p|Eternatus}} in its Eternamax form, but will be unable to do anything against it until they summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} with the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] they found in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. The player cannot [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon in this fight. After the battle, the player will catch Eternatus in a [[Poké Ball]] of their choice, with a 100% guaranteed success rate.

====Sordward and Shielbert====
While the player and Hop pursue Sordward and Shielbert, they force these Pokémon to Dynamax by in each [[Gym|Stadium]] in Galar. The player is tasked with defeating these Pokémon, which belong to {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, to take them out of their frenzied state and restore safety to the area. Because these Pokémon belong to Trainers, the player does not have the opportunity to catch them.

The first Stadium attacked is [[Turffield]]'s, then both [[Hulbury]] and [[Motostoke]] Stadiums. The player cooperates with Hop, [[Piers]], and each Stadium's Gym Leader to resolve the crisis. After the player defeats all three and confronts the brothers in [[Wedgehurst]], they'll cause more disruptions in the Stadiums in [[Stow-on-Side]], [[Ballonlea]], [[Circhester]], and [[Hammerlocke]]. This time, multiple Dynamaxed Pokémon will attack each stadium, and the player and their friends will need split up to deal with one of them each, with the exception of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where they discover that [[Bede]] took care of them all by himself.

==Wild Area News==
{{main|Wild Area News}}
Wild Area News, accessed through the [[Mystery Gift]] menu in Sword and Shield, changes the available spawns in Max Raid Battles to make certain Pokémon more common for a limited time, including and especially [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which vary between the two game versions. These events are currently the only way to obtain Gigantamax {{p|Snorlax}} and Gigantamax {{p|Toxtricity}}.

Any den can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News, and dens that do so will always beam a red light, indicating the "common" pool.

The following is a list of Wild Area News events in reverse chronological order.

Max Raid Battle

Keyacom: /* Wild Area News */ Making sure the version exclusivity is maintained

[[File:Sword Shield Max Raid Battle artwork.png|thumb|Artwork of a Max Raid Battle against a [[Pangoro]]]]
A '''Max Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''マックスレイドバトル''' ''Max Raid Battle'') is a [[Pokémon battle]] in which four Trainers battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which remains Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed for the whole battle.

==In the games==
The player can start a Max Raid Battle by interacting with an active [[Pokémon Den]], indicated by a beam of light shooting up from it. If a den is inactive, the player can throw a [[Wishing Piece]] into it to summon a Dynamax Pokémon.

When starting a Max Raid Battle, players can see a silhouette of the Dynamax Pokémon, its [[type]]s, and a star rating of its difficulty. The current [[weather]] is also displayed. The loss condition, ''"The battle ends when Pokémon faint four times or the battle lasts for 10 turns"'', is displayed in the lower left corner. Additionally, the player can see the other three Trainers participating and the Pokémon they have selected to enter. Players have a time limit to select their Pokémon before the Max Raid Battle automatically starts with the Pokémon they have selected by default.

Four Trainers are required to conduct a Max Raid Battle. The player can connect with other players to challenge a Max Raid Battle by using the [[Y-Comm]] over the internet or local wireless. If there are less than four players, then the game will randomly select [[non-player character|NPC]] Trainers to fill in the remaining slots.

===Battle===
{{incomplete|section|Modified damage formula (it seems moves can be reduced to 0 damage) and OHKO accuracy formula under effect of mysterious barrier}}
Each Trainer uses a single Pokémon (from either their party or [[Pokémon Box Link|Box]]) against the Dynamax Pokémon. If a Trainer's Pokémon faints, they can cheer on the remaining Trainers as they attempt to complete the Max Raid Battle, which has the potential to generate positive effects such as healing or setting up Reflect; the fainted Pokémon will automatically be revived at full health the following turn. If the challengers' Pokémon faint a total of 4 times (even if it is the same Pokémon) or if the 10-turn limit is reached, the Max Raid Battle is lost. If the Dynamax Pokémon is successfully defeated, all four Trainers can attempt to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the Dynamax Pokémon and receive several various rewards based on the Dynamax Pokémon that was encountered. A Max Raid Battle can be repeatedly attempted until either the player wins (regardless of capture success) or when the dens reset.

Only one Trainer can Dynamax their Pokémon during a Max Raid Battle; unlike the wild Dynamax Pokémon, this transformation only lasts for the normal three turns. Each turn, one Trainer receives Dynamax Energy; only that player can Dynamax that turn, and if they do not, this energy is passed to another player next turn. The player who hosts the Max Raid Battle will always be the first to have the option to Dynamax.

Depending on the star level, the Dynamax Pokémon may be able to use regular moves in addition to Max Moves. It can also attack up to three times per turn and create a shockwave, which cancels the effect of the players' [[Ability|Abilities]] and stat changes and cures it of [[Status condition#Non-volatile status|Non-volatile status conditions]].

In three-star Max Raids and higher, the wild Dynamax Pokémon have specific HP thresholds in which they will create a protective barrier with two to eight segments, depending on its defensive power. In three- and four-star Max Raids, the Dynamax Pokémon will create a barrier one time; in five-star Max Raids, it will create a barrier twice, sometimes with the first barrier at the start of the battle. While this barrier is active, damage-dealing moves used against the Dynamax Pokémon are severely weakened and are unable to apply secondary effects, and status moves used against the Dynamax Pokémon will fail. Damage-dealing moves will deplete one bar of the barrier's strength, except [[Max Move]]s and [[one-hit knockout move]]s which instead deplete two bars. When the barrier runs out of bars, the barrier is destroyed, the Dynamax Pokémon's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} will drop by two stages, and it takes a portion of the damage it would have received while its barriers were active.

Some moves work differently when raid bosses use them, such as {{m|Belch}}, which will work regardless of berries, and {{m|Dig}} will have it attack immediately.

The following moves will fail if used in a Max Raid Battle:

{{movelist|Thief|Dark|cat=Physical}}
|}
|}

===Capture===
{{incomplete|section|Catch rates for Wild Area News event likely inaccurate}}
Upon defeating the Dynamax Pokémon, each player has a single chance to capture it. As a rule, the host's capture chance is higher than that of the guests. Should the capture fail, the Pokémon will disappear. Regardless of the attempt's success (or if the player declined to catch it), all players will be awarded [[Candy|Exp. Candies]], [[TR]]s, and other items based on the Pokémon that was fought.

The caught Pokémon's moves and Ability will be the same as it was during the Max Raid Battle; some Dynamax Pokémon encountered in Max Raid Battles will have their [[Hidden Ability]]. If it was a [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, the caught Pokémon will have the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Pokémon caught in Max Raid Battles will also have a number of stats with the maximum 31 {{IV}}s and have increased their Dynamax Levels, increasingly with the Max Raid's difficulty.

The catch rate for a Dynamax Pokémon depends on several factors, such as whether or not the player is hosting the raid. They are all calculated with the Pokémon at 1 HP and no status conditions. If the Pokémon escapes, the host player may [[Soft resetting|restart]] the game before it autosaves and reattempt the Max Raid.

===Trainers===
If less than four players initiate a Max Raid Battle, a random selection of these NPC Trainers will populate the vacant positions. The level of their Pokémon is ×0.7 that of the host player's Pokémon (rounded down), therefore at a maximum Lv. 70 if the host player's Pokémon is Lv. 100.

===Special Max Raid Battles===
{{spoilers}}
In the climax of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as several times in the post-game story involving [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], the player will participate in Max Raid Battles required to progress the story. In these battles, the player will have access to their full party. Initially, the player will be paired with special NPC partners, but eventually, the player will be challenged to fight their opponents by themselves.

These plot-mandatory Max Raid Battles experience some differences compared to the Max Raid Battles available in the Wild Area. The battles are not limited to a 10-turn time limit, nor will they be forcibly ended after Pokémon have fainted 4 times. The player is also not limited to a single Pokémon, and may use their full party in the manner of a normal battle; fainted Pokémon will not automatically be revived, and the Cheer option is unavailable.

====[[Tower summit]]====
In this semi-scripted Max Raid Battle, the player and [[Hop]] will try to fight {{p|Eternatus}} in its Eternamax form, but will be unable to do anything against it until they summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} with the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]] they found in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. The player cannot [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon in this fight. After the battle, the player will catch Eternatus in a [[Poké Ball]] of their choice, with a 100% guaranteed success rate.

|move3=Flamethrower|move3type=Fire|move3cat=Special
|move4=Dynamax Cannon|move4type=Dragon|move4cat=Special}}

====Sordward and Shielbert====
While the player and Hop pursue Sordward and Shielbert, they force these Pokémon to Dynamax by in each [[Gym|Stadium]] in Galar. The player is tasked with defeating these Pokémon, which belong to {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s, to take them out of their frenzied state and restore safety to the area. Because these Pokémon belong to Trainers, the player does not have the opportunity to catch them.

The first Stadium attacked is [[Turffield]]'s, then both [[Hulbury]] and [[Motostoke]] Stadiums. The player cooperates with Hop, [[Piers]], and each Stadium's Gym Leader to resolve the crisis. After the player defeats all three and confronts the brothers in [[Wedgehurst]], they'll cause more disruptions in the Stadiums in [[Stow-on-Side]], [[Ballonlea]], [[Circhester]], and [[Hammerlocke]]. This time, multiple Dynamaxed Pokémon will attack each stadium, and the player and their friends will need split up to deal with one of them each, with the exception of [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where they discover that [[Bede]] took care of them all by himself.

==Wild Area News==
{{main|Wild Area News}}
Wild Area News, accessed through the [[Mystery Gift]] menu in Sword and Shield, changes the available spawns in Max Raid Battles to make certain Pokémon more common for a limited time, including and especially [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which vary between the two game versions. These events are currently the only way to obtain Gigantamax {{p|Snorlax}} and Gigantamax {{p|Toxtricity}}.

Any den can spawn a Max Raid Battle from Wild Area News, and dens that do so will always beam a red light, indicating the "common" pool.

The following is a list of Wild Area News events in reverse chronological order.

== Preview button ==

Hey! Next time you edit an article, you can use the preview button at the bottom left of your editing screen. This will allow you to view your edits without actually saving them officially. That way, you don't have to edit an article several times in a row. Just a heads-up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
:Hi, thanks for reminding me of the preview button. If that helps, I happen to know a bit about how MediaWiki wikis generally work. I've been using the preview button to some extent, though I'll try to remember to use it more often and avoid editing an article several times in a row. I'm still learning about some Bulbapedia-specific things like policies, templates and such. I've been reading the links given above, like the FAQ and other pages. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 22:36, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
::Oh, okay. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

== Hello ==
Hello. Thank you for your recent contributions to the manga sections. However, as word of advice, when writing summaries about a character's role in the story, you must use past tense instead of present tense. Second, Adventures is a very plot-heavy series unlike the mostly episodic anime. As such, it's preferred that you only reference a character's appearance in a certain chapter if it's actually relevant to the story as a whole. If all they do is appear in a chapter and nothing more, then it's best to just omit it entirely. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 15:57, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

:Hello. OK, thanks for letting me know about these things. Thanks also for reviewing and editing the two pages I recently created--[[Green's parents]] and [[A]].
:-
:About character appearances:
:This makes complete sense to me, I'll remember it: "If all they do is appear in a chapter and nothing more, then it's best to just omit it entirely."
:Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect a cameo from an "unexpected" character like [[Professor Elm]], [[Lanette]], [[Brigette]] and others in the ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'' might qualify to be mentioned in the character histories nonetheless.
:This is different from incidental appearances, like some of [[Green's parents]]' appearances that you edited out from their article.
:-
:About the past tense:
:I don't mind using past tense, I'm fine with using whatever style rules Bulbapedia prefers. However, I've been a little confused because it seems that (contrary to what you said above) most Pokémon Adventures character histories currently use present tense ({{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Giovanni}}, etc.) A few use past tense ([[Agatha]]).
:If it were up to me, I would suggest always using the historical present tense. I know this isn't Wikipedia and none of Wikipedia rules apply here, but I'd like to note that Wikipedia has the specific rule of using the historical present tense as said in {{wp|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction}}, basically because that's how we experience the story. It's always the "present" when you read the manga, or watch the anime, or play the game.
:Anyway, that was just a suggestion. [[Bulbapedia:FAQ]] and [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style]] don't seem to mention the tense anywhere, so I'm curious about whether the website really has formal rules about it or if people have been choosing the tense based on their opinions, which would explain why some pages use the present tense and others use the past tense.
:PS.: Some pages like {{adv|Yellow}} currently seem a little messy to me, concerning the tense. That one uses mostly present tense ("She then learns of the legendary evolutionary stones") with some past tense randomly distributed around the page ("she protected the Day-Care Couple from Team Rocket"). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 17:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
::Also, please avoid adding chapter subsections for minor characters (such as Grunts) that don't really accomplish much in the story. They're mainly for important characters, as they have larger summaries and the subsection makes it more convenient to read. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:43, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
:::OK. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 09:46, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

== Creating articles ==

I forgot to tell you this earlier, but the next time you create an article like you did with [[Green's parents]], I recommend creating a sandbox article first. That way, you can experiment with the content before it's mainspaced. Some articles require permission to create and sandboxes circumvent that a little during the wait times. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
:Alright, thank you for letting me know. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 23:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
::You're welcome. :) [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:16, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

== Creating redirects of Japanese names ==

Hey! I noticed you created the [[ミク]] redirect link. I'm not sure how necessary that was, because I have never seen any other redirect links for characters' Japanese names. Perhaps you need to consult an admin on that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
:Hello. Actually I've seen quite a few redirects for characters' Japanese names before creating that one, so that appeared to be the normal thing to do.
:Examples:
:* [[アヤノ]] -> [[Andrea]]
:* [[カラザ]] -> [[Christopher and Jeannie]]
:* [[カルム]] -> [[Calem (game)]]
:* [[アロエ]] -> [[Lenora]]
:* [[サトシ]] -> [[Satoshi]] (disambiguation page)
:* [[コモモ]] -> [[Kimono Girl]]
:* [[ゲーチス]] -> [[Ghetsis]]
:* [[ゲンゾウ]] -> [[Kenzo (EP166)]]
:* [[センタ]] -> [[Senta (EP085)]]
:* [[デボ]] -> [[Captain Crook]]
:* [[ヒイラギ]] -> [[Rochelle]]
:* [[マギー]] -> [[Melvin]]
:* [[カスミ]] -> [[Misty]]
:I've also found some some Japanese redirects for Pokémon, moves, items, places, TCG cards and so on.
:The full list (katakana version) starts from ア, here it is:
:* https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=ア
:The full list (hiragana version) starts from あ, here it is:
:* https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=あ
:--[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 12:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
::Oh, okay. Never knew that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:04, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

== Preview button again ==

Hey! I'm going to have to remind you to use the preview button. I notice [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Seafloor&type=revision&diff=2945401&oldid=170674 your six edits] to [[Seafloor]] are only a few minutes apart. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:44, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
:You're right, sorry about that. Thanks for reminding me to use the preview button. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 05:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
::You're welcome. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:46, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

== Redirects ==

Please don't create redirects for extremely minor characters, they are unnecessary and no one would be searching for those characters. Also, don't create redirects for things that could have multiple meanings and could refer to multiple articles. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:06, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
:OK. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 05:23, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

== Game pages structure ==

Can we please keep the info in the games pages under the same sections for all pages? The pages were each in a different arrangement, and I've been trying to build a pattern for them. If we keep creating new sections for everything that comes to mind, it's going to become a mess again. Nothing wrong with new information, as long as we keep it organized. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 15:49, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

:[[User:Suic12-|Suic]]: OK. It looks like you are doing a good job. I appreciate that you are seeking a consistent format. I apologize if I deviated from the pattern before, it's just that I saw a mess of different arrangements as you mentioned, so I was not sure which exactly to use at the moment.
:If you are interested, you may want to check generation pages like [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], etc. to see if they are able to fit the pattern. I'm only saying this because they currently repeat much of the information found in the game pages, including game features, and they have some sections in common with the game pages. But it's OK if you are not interested right now, this is just an idea. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 19:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
::I can take a look later at the generation pages to see if they need any fix. I'll let you know then. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 21:40, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
:::OK. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 00:33, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
::::From what I saw, generations pages seem much more consistent with each other than games pages did. There are some minor details like the title screen sections, and generations VI and VII have some extra sections that maybe can be merged into others, but in the overall I think the pages are pretty good as they are already. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 02:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::[[User:Suic12-|Suic]]: That's good, thanks for checking. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:49, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey! You're not allowed to post on discussions whose last posts are over 6 months old. You're not guaranteed to get a response that way.

:::This is a common misconception. If you read the {{bp|Talk page policy}}, the rule is specifically "''Unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revitalize discussion, comments on sections older than six months old should not be made.''"
:::Six months is merely a guideline for determining when a conversation is finished. However, if there's a discussion about moving/merging/etc. a page, and the notice template is still up, then the conversation is necessarily still active. In such a case, you should be using the existing section, in order to keep the discussion in one place. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:25, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
::::I'm confused, then. If someone posts a new comment meant to continue an old discussion, doesn't that mean the conversation is still active? If so, that rule sounds pretty redundant. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:29, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
:::::The point of the policy is that normally old discussions have already been resolved, so there's no point trying to revive the discussion.

== Disambiguation pages ==

I can tell you like making disambiguation pages, but please consider their purpose. They should be a list of pages that someone searching for a given term could conceivably be intending to find with a given search term. So for example, someone searching [[Red]] could quite likely be looking for a page like [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] or [[Red (game)]], but I don't think they would actually be looking for [[Red Card]]. Please keep this in mind, and don't just make disambiguation pages for the sake of it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
:OK, I understand. I'll keep this in mind. I'll slow down on creating disambiguation pages. I'm thinking my main focus at the moment should be the TCG games for GBC. Maybe I should also do some research concerning [[friendship]] in various generations, since that page has a request at the top. I edited the friendship information and values for Generation I recently.
:Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the page [[Red]] was pretty big even before I touched it: [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Red&oldid=2961593 Red - revision from 3 May 2019].
:That page already had [[Red Chain]], [[Red Scale]], and [[Red Gummi]]. It's true I added [[Red Card]] there. I guess I saw a pattern. As in, if we had a disambig page with those 3 prior items, then I guessed at the time that [[Red Card]] fits as well. But that could be just me. Again, I'll slow down on disambig pages. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 14:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

== Splitting/Moving ==

== Pinball ==

Hey, it's really great that you're adding information about Pinball, but could I ask that when you do on item pages, you include a bit more detail? I haven't played the Pinball games, so I find the item descriptions somewhat lacking.

For example, on the [[Fire Stone]] page, you added "the player gets three Fire Stone symbols". How does the player get these symbols? Are symbols the equivalent of items in Pinball (and thus have their own page)?

Likewise, on [[Master Ball]], you mentioned that the Master Ball gives a higher points multiplier. How do you get a Master Ball, and how do you use it?

Basically, I would really appreciate it if you could write sections so that someone who hasn't played the game can gain an understanding of what the subject's role in Pinball is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:02, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

:Alright, I think I understand. I'll see what I can do to write content for people who haven't played the game. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 02:54, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
::Do you think symbols could have their own page? I think the different language Experience symbols are a bit excessive on the pages they are currently present on, but on a generic symbol page they would make perfect sense. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:48, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

== Removed revision ==

I see you reverted what was presumably vandalism made to the [[Dome and Helix Fossils]] page, by a user known as "THEHELIX". While I have an idea of what it said (praise helix!) for some reason the revision was removed from the history, so I can't see it. What did it say?

Also, if you are an admin, please consider restoring it. I of course don't mean putting the vandalism back, but rather putting it back in the article's history, so if anyone else is curious they can see. There's really no reason to remove a revision from an article's history unless it contains someone's personal information or something like that. (Or maybe copyrighted content, if the owners of the wiki are worried about being sued.)

:That was a while ago... I don't remember exactly, but I think it was just a generic "helix is god" message, like you said. Nothing harmful, just didn't belong on the wiki. There were several similar edits to various pages back when TPP Red was happening. To address your second point, I'm not an admin, so I don't know if there's a guideline for removing revisions, but from what I've seen most instances of vandalism are deleted, especially when containing vulgarity/explicit content.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 21:01, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

I tried to remove that STAB at the same time after the original edit, I guess you beat me. Can you check Skrelp if you have one handy, however? I can breed one, but that's the only one I'm uncertain of now; every remaining fully evolved specimen (and everything else I could check that is NOT edited) cannot learn Dive, so Skrelp is the last one. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:40, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
:Actually, maybe I don't need that after all; I found [http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/skrelp this] saying Skrelp can learn Surf, Waterfall, and Dive - which makes sense as it's a Water type as a Skrelp, and changes to Dragon upon evolution (hence losing the STAB). I'll breed one to verify it myself before editing at its page since X doesn't have them for catching and simply trading over, but I'll include it in the Dive edit right now.

Just a quick note: {{m|Fling}} was a "Tough" move (with 1 appeal) in Super Contests, but OR/AS uses Contest Spectacular information, where Fling is a "Cute" move with 3 appeal. You had edited at {{p|Mawile}} to show it as "Tough" with 3 appeal, mixing the two. Didn't want to create a new section, just pointing it out. =) Rest of the chart was good, I was just refacing the chart from my [[User:CycloneGU/TMHM6|template]] since I had to add the XY and ORAS tags anyway and my reface caught that by chance.

So that's how you do it. What about {{p|Swablu}}? I don't think it would be proper to refer to a Mega Evolution of Swablu, but since it's not a final evolution we could likely get away with it there? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 22:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

::Then we'll leave it per those pages!

Shadow Ball is a Ghost type move, and you added STAB for it on Hoopa Unbound. It actually does not get STAB, but after returning to Hoopa Confined it gets STAB again.

:I wasn't implying that those forms got STAB. I used italics, not boldface, to denote that the other form gets STAB instead. Fling and Thief in particular are already italicized on Hoopa's page. Arceus and Darmanitan are two Pokémon that do this on their applicable TM entries as well.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 19:54, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

That's why I left it that way. (That Cinnabar Island thing) I couldn't find anything in Frequently asked questions. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 03:52, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
:I see, you have my apologies then. If you're ever unsure about how to use a template, the template page or talk page may explain how. You can also look for examples of the template on other pages (this is how I learn new templates 90% of the time), or even try to decipher the template's source code.

:In the future, I highly recommend making sure you know how to use a template properly beforehand instead of leaving it for someone else to fix. It was good of you to bring attention to something that needed fixing, but leaving errors in articles, even for just a few minutes, is something that should be avoided as much as possible.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 05:31, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

== Gen VI redirects/pkmn template ==

The pkmn template isn't really meant for games. If you want to keep fixing those "version" redirects, it might be easiest to just write it out (like <code><nowiki>[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]</nowiki></code>. It's unfortunate, but our various game templates aren't quite up to snuff, especially with Gen VI. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:32, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
:Yeah, I was hesitant to use {{template|pkmn}} at first, but I saw it used that way on a lot of other pages (and on some of the pages I was editing as well). I'm guessing that's something that'll be addressed if/when the game link templates are updated. I'll stop using it like that.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 17:44, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

== Paras, Parasect, Jolteon trivia ==

Given the egregious overpowering of the psychic type in Gen. 1, I think this is interesting. I suggest maybe moving it to the [[Generation 1#Balancing Issues|balancing issues]] section, albeit condensed. [[User:Fushigi na Alakazam|Fushigi na Alakazam]] ([[User talk:Fushigi na Alakazam|talk]]) 20:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
:You're right in that it would probably fit better in that section than in the trivia sections. I'm just not sure it's necessary - the section already mentions most Bug-learning Pokémon to be Poison-type and I don't know if we need to specifically note which ones aren't. You're welcome to bring it up on the talk page if you want, the main reason I removed it from the Pokémon pages was because it didn't belong in trivia.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
::Yes, I agree it was misplaced in the trivia, thanks for clearing that up. It just intrigued me that given the fact that some bugs weren't even part poison, there were still only three Pokémon that could do this. Perhaps though there's no relevant place to put such a nugget of wisdom. [[User:Fushigi na Alakazam|Fushigi na Alakazam]] ([[User talk:Fushigi na Alakazam|talk]]) 07:56, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

== Gravity Page Confirmation ==

Hi there, I just wanted to double check about the reversion you made on the Gravity page. Since the section that mentions High Jump Kick is for an older generation when it was spelled Hi Jump Kick, the old spelling would make sense. My logic for changing it to the current spelling was that other pages seem to use current spellings when discussing older generations. The pages for Extreme Speed, Ancient Power and Soft-Boiled are good examples. Anyway, it's a small formatting issue, and it's my first edit on the site so I will leave the final word to you! [[User:TenebrousRook|TenebrousRook]] ([[User talk:TenebrousRook|talk]]) 06:18, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:Well, I believe that High Jump Kick was formatted as Hi Jump Kick in Generation IV, and so it is written as its previous spelling under 'In Generation IV' section. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 07:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
::Soft-Boiled's page uses old spellings for old generations, but you got me on Extreme Speed and Ancient Power. I suppose I'll offer {{m|Smelling Salts}} and {{m|High Jump Kick}} itself as counter-examples, we do seem to have an inconsistency on which spelling is preferred though. I'll ask an admin about it when I have time.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 13:27, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

== Changed my Edit ==

I was told that the reason Pokemon such as Magnezone are not in the Sinnoh Handbook because they are exclusive to Platinum, However Magnezone Etc. are in Diamond and Pearl and are not in the Sinnoh Handbook. So why can't I say that they are excluded from this handbook. {{unsigned|4Corry}}
:Tiddlywinks answered you pretty well on the article's [[Talk:Pokémon Sinnoh Handbook#Changed my Edit|talk page]]. Sorry if my edit summary wasn't clear. The handbook doesn't cover Sinnoh Pokémon as a whole, but rather the ones present in the regional Pokédex, which at the time excluded Pokémon like Magnezone. So it made sense that those Pokémon didn't have entries in the book.

:And just a tip for the future, when leaving messages on a talk page, sign your comments by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to leave a signature and timestamp. Thanks!--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 04:22, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

== Elemental Monkeys edit ==

Very true. Scientifically, they are not monkeys, but it's semantics, as colloquially they are. I accept the revision, however I am curious about the inclusion of Chimchar and it being based off of a chimpanzee (is it not?), which is not a monkey. Just curious of that inclusion. -[[User:Uncleben85|Uncleben85]] ([[User talk:Uncleben85|talk]]) 18:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, I was hesitant to revert at first since I know people tend to refer to apes as monkeys in everyday language. In the end I figured the article should just avoid the possible inaccuracy, especially since the list isn't necessarily all-inclusive. I wasn't actually aware that Chimchar was based on a chimpanzee until you pointed it out :P, but both its evolutions are based on monkeys and its origin section mentions baboons anyhow, so hopefully that's enough to qualify it. If necessary it could be replaced with Monferno/Infernape but I feel that having Chimchar there represents the entire line better, if that makes any sense.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

== Unown ==
Hello. On the page for {{p|Unown}}, you removed my trivia because non-legendary/mythical exceptions aren't allowed. These exceptions have happened and I've seen them quite frequently. For example: On {{p|Slaking}}'s page, it says in the trivia: "Outside of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon and Mega Evolution, Slaking has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon." So it does happen and I would like to know why my Trivia is not similar for Unown. Thanks. [[User:The IceCream|The IceCream]] ([[User talk:The IceCream|talk]]) 18:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
:(Sorry to butt in on your page, Cold, but I went ahead and removed the Slaking point so I thought I should explain.) Many people try to add things that don't pass policy, and if someone doesn't notice the addition on the Recent Changes or their Watchlist, it can easily slip through the cracks and remain on the page indefinitely. I've removed that point from Slaking, and if you ever notice anything else like that, feel free to remove it yourself or let me know and I'll do it! Thanks!

== Bold ==

Ok. So, is it true that trainers in gen 1 will always send out Pokemon in a specific order as opposed to the later games base on type matchup (which is not always the same). For instance, Green will send by Pidgeot - Alakazam - Rhydon - Gyarados - Arcanine - Venusaur but in FRLG he will send in Venusaur if palyer has a water type, Alakazam if Poison, etc. [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 02:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
:My main concern is what you mean by "trainers" - Is it just Blue, or (and this is how I interpreted it when I reverted) do all trainers in Gen I have this behavior (or even just other trainers with boss Pokémon such as Gym Leaders/E4)? If it's the latter, then it's not specific to Blue, and imo would be better suited in an article describing NPC AI (if we even have anything like that) than as a trivia point on one specific trainer's page. Even if it's the former, I'd ''really'' prefer a definitive source other than "I noticed a pattern" before we add trivia implying that we went through the game's code to confirm it, but I'd probably leave that debate to someone more experienced.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 02:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

== TM data for PMD ==

Hey! Next time you edit an article, you can use the preview button at the bottom left of your editing screen. This will allow you to view your edits without actually saving them officially. That way, you don't have to edit an article several times in a row. Just a heads-up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
:Hi, thanks for reminding me of the preview button. If that helps, I happen to know a bit about how MediaWiki wikis generally work. I've been using the preview button to some extent, though I'll try to remember to use it more often and avoid editing an article several times in a row. I'm still learning about some Bulbapedia-specific things like policies, templates and such.

== Hello ==
Hello. Thank you for your recent contributions to the manga sections. However, as word of advice, when writing summaries about a character's role in the story, you must use past tense instead of present tense. Second, Adventures is a very plot-heavy series unlike the mostly episodic anime. As such, it's preferred that you only reference a character's appearance in a certain chapter if it's actually relevant to the story as a whole. If all they do is appear in a chapter and nothing more, then it's best to just omit it entirely. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 15:57, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

:Hello. OK, thanks for letting me know about these things. Thanks also for reviewing and editing the two pages I recently created--[[Green's parents]] and [[A]].
:-
:About character appearances:
:This makes complete sense to me, I'll remember it: "If all they do is appear in a chapter and nothing more, then it's best to just omit it entirely."
:Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect a cameo from an "unexpected" character like [[Professor Elm]], [[Lanette]], [[Brigette]] and others in the ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'' might qualify to be mentioned in the character histories nonetheless.
:This is different from incidental appearances, like some of [[Green's parents]]' appearances that you edited out from their article.
:-
:About the past tense:
:I don't mind using past tense, I'm fine with using whatever style rules Bulbapedia prefers. However, I've been a little confused because it seems that (contrary to what you said above) most Pokémon Adventures character histories currently use present tense ({{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Giovanni}}, etc.) A few use past tense ([[Agatha]]).
:If it were up to me, I would suggest always using the historical present tense. I know this isn't Wikipedia and none of Wikipedia rules apply here, but I'd like to note that Wikipedia has the specific rule of using the historical present tense as said in {{wp|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction}}, basically because that's how we experience the story. It's always the "present" when you read the manga, or watch the anime, or play the game.
:Anyway, that was just a suggestion. [[Bulbapedia:FAQ]] and [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style]] don't seem to mention the tense anywhere, so I'm curious about whether the website really has formal rules about it or if people have been choosing the tense based on their opinions, which would explain why some pages use the present tense and others use the past tense.
:PS.: Some pages like {{adv|Yellow}} currently seem a little messy to me, concerning the tense. That one uses mostly present tense ("She then learns of the legendary evolutionary stones") with some past tense randomly distributed around the page ("she protected the Day-Care Couple from Team Rocket"). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 17:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
::Also, please avoid adding chapter subsections for minor characters (such as Grunts) that don't really accomplish much in the story. They're mainly for important characters, as they have larger summaries and the subsection makes it more convenient to read. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:43, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

== Creating articles ==

I forgot to tell you this earlier, but the next time you create an article like you did with [[Green's parents]], I recommend creating a sandbox article first.

== Creating redirects of Japanese names ==

Hey! I noticed you created the [[ミク]] redirect link. I'm not sure how necessary that was, because I have never seen any other redirect links for characters' Japanese names. Perhaps you need to consult an admin on that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
:Hello. Actually I've seen quite a few redirects for characters' Japanese names before creating that one, so that appeared to be the normal thing to do.
:Examples:
:* [[アヤノ]] -> [[Andrea]]
:* [[カラザ]] -> [[Christopher and Jeannie]]
:* [[カルム]] -> [[Calem (game)]]
:* [[アロエ]] -> [[Lenora]]
:* [[サトシ]] -> [[Satoshi]] (disambiguation page)
:* [[コモモ]] -> [[Kimono Girl]]
:* [[ゲーチス]] -> [[Ghetsis]]
:* [[ゲンゾウ]] -> [[Kenzo (EP166)]]
:* [[センタ]] -> [[Senta (EP085)]]
:* [[デボ]] -> [[Captain Crook]]
:* [[ヒイラギ]] -> [[Rochelle]]
:* [[マギー]] -> [[Melvin]]
:* [[カスミ]] -> [[Misty]]
:I've also found some some Japanese redirects for Pokémon, moves, items, places, TCG cards and so on.
:The full list (katakana version) starts from ア, here it is:

== Game pages structure ==

Can we please keep the info in the games pages under the same sections for all pages? The pages were each in a different arrangement, and I've been trying to build a pattern for them. If we keep creating new sections for everything that comes to mind, it's going to become a mess again. Nothing wrong with new information, as long as we keep it organized.

:[[User:Suic12-|Suic]]: OK. It looks like you are doing a good job. I appreciate that you are seeking a consistent format. I apologize if I deviated from the pattern before, it's just that I saw a mess of different arrangements as you mentioned, so I was not sure which exactly to use at the moment.
:If you are interested, you may want to check generation pages like [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], [[Generation III]], etc. to see if they are able to fit the pattern. I'm only saying this because they currently repeat much of the information found in the game pages, including game features, and they have some sections in common with the game pages. But it's OK if you are not interested right now, this is just an idea. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 19:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

:::This is a common misconception. If you read the {{bp|Talk page policy}}, the rule is specifically "''Unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revitalize discussion, comments on sections older than six months old should not be made.''"
:::Six months is merely a guideline for determining when a conversation is finished.

== Disambiguation pages ==

I can tell you like making disambiguation pages, but please consider their purpose. They should be a list of pages that someone searching for a given term could conceivably be intending to find with a given search term. So for example, someone searching [[Red]] could quite likely be looking for a page like [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] or [[Red (game)]], but I don't think they would actually be looking for [[Red Card]]. Please keep this in mind, and don't just make disambiguation pages for the sake of it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:31, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
:OK, I understand. I'll keep this in mind. I'll slow down on creating disambiguation pages. I'm thinking my main focus at the moment should be the TCG games for GBC. Maybe I should also do some research concerning [[friendship]] in various generations, since that page has a request at the top. I edited the friendship information and values for Generation I recently.
:Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the page [[Red]] was pretty big even before I touched it: [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Red&oldid=2961593 Red - revision from 3 May 2019].
:That page already had [[Red Chain]], [[Red Scale]], and [[Red Gummi]]. It's true I added [[Red Card]] there. I guess I saw a pattern. As in, if we had a disambig page with those 3 prior items, then I guessed at the time that [[Red Card]] fits as well. But that could be just me. Again, I'll slow down on disambig pages. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 14:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

== Pinball ==

Hey, it's really great that you're adding information about Pinball, but could I ask that when you do on item pages, you include a bit more detail? I haven't played the Pinball games, so I find the item descriptions somewhat lacking.

For example, on the [[Fire Stone]] page, you added "the player gets three Fire Stone symbols". How does the player get these symbols? Are symbols the equivalent of items in Pinball (and thus have their own page)?

Likewise, on [[Master Ball]], you mentioned that the Master Ball gives a higher points multiplier. How do you get a Master Ball, and how do you use it?

Basically, I would really appreciate it if you could write sections so that someone who hasn't played the game can gain an understanding of what the subject's role in Pinball is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:02, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me.

::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase.

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template?

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"?

:It's not notable. The other trainers "not noticing the Slowpoke" isn't notable either. The nurse knowing it isn't suppose to be some in-universe thing.

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin.

:::::maybe we could move the "based on a unicorn" trivia point altogether then? Seems that point being in *specifically* the name origin subsection is the issue.

::::::Uh... no. That line is meant to be in the origins sections as it's detailing what Galarian Ponyta might be based off. The extra bit about "unique horn" isn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::... And "unique horn" supports that point that it "might be" based on a unicorn. I don't see what the big deal is here, or why one piece of trivia is more "necessary" than any other piece?

::::::::Apologies for the late response. It saying that Galarian Ponyta might be based of a Unicorn is suffice enough, without the need to be witty or smart.

As for the thing about Wikipedia: yes I realize this is not Wikipedia, nor is it a project belonging to Wikimedia; what I meant by what I said was that, as both wikis are, by nature, collaborative projects and that policy is conducive to cooperation, I felt it could be applicable here, not that it would actually be enforced because, as you said, this isn't Wikipedia.

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

== Recurring definition? ==

I'm confused. Please explain why {{MTR}} was removed from the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page? I agree that he is a main character, however he is also a wild Pokémon that has been featured in than one episode, meeting the recurring wild Pokémon criteria. Recurring means just that occurring again. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:52, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
:Meowth doesn't appear every now and then, he appears in every episode (bar B/W, but that has already come and gone), which is the direct opposite of being recurring.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:05, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
::Speaking of other things not meeting the criteria … the list of Ash's temporary traveling companions has some questionable additions.

::Ritchie was simply encountered and is listed even though his appearances over three episodes was part of the Team Rocket-Lugia arc, plus Oliver and Luka who appeared during the same period are not.
::Zoey, while she appeared across multiple episodes in Snowpoint City, she simply met up with the group rather than traveled with them.
::Dia is another questionable addition, and while he appeared in two episodes, it was only while Ash was in the alternate dimension. Your thoughts? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 23:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

::::I'm not sure if there is a criteria for Ash's temporary travelling companions, but I think the idea should be if they're with Ash for more than three episodes and travel from place to place, they should be added. Which I guess would discount Dia. Get second opinions.
::::I'm not sure if major movie characters count? I know there's Slowking there, but it doesn't play a major role in its movie. As for Zeraora, I think it comes down to how many episode appearances counts as "recurring". I don't think Zeroara as much as most of the Pokemon on the recurring article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== BW058? ==

I saw the change made to BW058. However I based those additions on the fact that Gym Leader's Pokémon evolving like [[Roark's Cranidos]] has been listed in the past, plus Chili is a recurring character and also the brother of Cilan. {{unsigned|PardescanSlowbro}}

== Process for reporting an admin ==

Hey! Is there a formal process to report an admin for shirking their duties? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior. Trying to contact them even before they initially responded was an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct. I'd like to see if there's a formal procedure to address this. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 11:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

== Gary's Journey ==

Hi, please, I wanted to understand why the change was reversed with Gary's page. Why no other human character has the separation between Kanto / Johto / Hoenn or anything like that anymore. The marking says "Orange Islands", but Gary was never said to have been on the islands. And the page is about Gary's point of view, isn't it? What's the point of keeping that with Gary only?Shouldn't that be standard for everyone?[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 15:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

== List of references to Pokémon in popular culture edit ==
Hello there. May I ask as to why you have deleted my writing on [[Difference between revisions of "List of references to Pokémon in popular culture"|this page]]? If you would have given me some more time, I would have fixed up my own work, rather than someone else deleting it. Could you please explain as to why you have deleted this specific section? I recognise that some of my information is incorrect, and I would have fixed it up myself. If there is an alternate section where you want me to put it under, I will be more than happy to do this change. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you recosider your reversion.

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Thank you for the clarification. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]? If not, what's exactly the limit? Which recurring character articles have to be succinct and which ones don't have to be? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
:::::If they contributed to the plot of the episode, then it's notable. And it counts for every recurring character, it doesn't matter of one page is longer than the other. That's simply not a problem.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

== The trivia ==

The music from the trailer of the new series was used in [[SS014]],when the egg containing the Golurk emerged from the underground of the ruins. Could it be treated as part of trivia of SS014, as we treated the use of Gym battle theme from SwSh. If it is a part of trivia, can you add it in the trivia of SS014 for me,as I don't really know how to frame it properly for the trivia.

== User YayBoy7 vandalizing the site. ==

I think you should have access to the last changes, the user in question started to vandalize the pages of some users and places and characters with bad words.

== Feedback ==

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.

:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Clefairy}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Cleffa}}.

==Biology==
Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile (one kilometer) away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}} of which it is protective. Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefable is actually an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
[[File:Lusamine Clefable.png|thumb|250px|Clefable in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
=====[[Lusamine's Clefable]]=====
A Clefable appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', under the ownership of {{an|Lusamine}}. In the fantasy, she evolved from a Clefairy. She later physically debuted in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]''.

=====Other=====
Multiple Clefable debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After the large group of {{p|Clefairy}} blasted {{TRT}} away with {{m|Metronome}}, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of them, causing them to evolve.

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefable was ''Ariala''. The {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} used this name during the [[original series]].
* In the Polish dub of the episode ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', Clefable is called "Kliferyla".
* Clefable and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Clefable seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s, being a magical, humanoid, playful creature with wings.

====Name origin====
Clefable is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical key) and ''{{wp|fable}}''. It may also be derived from ''able'', considering its sharp hearing and ability to lightly skip on water.

Pixy is a corruption of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Professor Burnet''' (Japanese: '''バーネット博士''' ''Dr. Burnet'') is a researcher who debuted in [[Pokémon Dream Radar]]. Her research specializes in the relationship between Pokémon and other [[dimensions]].

==In the games==
Professor Burnet studies the [[Interdream Zone]], the space between dreams and reality. She is friends with [[Fennel]] from college; they became friends because they were both interested in studying dreams.

Burnet made her [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], where she is revealed to have married [[Professor Kukui]] of [[Alola]]. Three months before the start of the story, Burnet had found [[Lillie]] lying on a beach, with [[Nebby]] in her bag. Ever since, she and her husband have been helping Lillie find out more about Nebby. After the {{player}} completes the three island trials of [[Akala Island]], Kukui invites the player to the Dimensional Research Lab in [[Heahea City]], where she has been researching the strange phenomena occurring in the Alola region, the [[Ultra Wormhole]] and the [[Ultra Beast]]s. She appears in the same role in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

===Quotes===
{{incomplete|section|Pokémon Dream Radar}}
====[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]====
* When starting the game
:''"So you're the new researcher? I appreciate you coming along. I'm Burnet! I research dreams. As part of that research, I'm investigating a certain place. I'm really fascinated by something I saw there--the mystery Pokémon!"''
:''"So! I want you to help me with my research! Whatcha think? Try tapping {{color|FFA500|Start Search}} on the device in your hand."''
::'''Start Search: Basic Extension''': ''"OK! Now we're ready. Let's be on our way!"''

* When searching for the first time
:''"Hee hee! So, whatcha think? I had you dive right in without an explanation, but... right now, you're looking at the space between dreams and reality. It's called the Interdream Zone. Let's start by having a look around!"''
:''"So, you see a fluffy object floating there like a cloud, right? That's a Dream Cloud! They materialize in different cycles and create energy. And what I'd like you to help me with is collecting that energy! I want you to gather the Dream Orbs made by the Dream Clouds. So, whatcha think? I'll tell you how to gather them... Could you align the crosshairs with a cloud in the center of the screen? When a cloud is in your sights, press Ⓐ!"''
:''"Well, how about that? You're amazing! That Beam isn't exactly easy to get the hang of, but... not only were you blasting away with ease, but your aim was spot on, too! Can you keep it up and hit the remaining clouds with the Beam? The number of clouds left is next to the cloud icon on the Touch Screen. Oh yeah! The orbs coming from the clouds are called Dream Orbs. To gather them, hit them with the Beam. Use Ⓐ, just like before."''
:''"Could it be? That light might be a Pokémon. Sometimes Pokémon slip into the Interdream Zone. Would you help it out? You have to catch it first. Use Ⓐ to fire the Beam and stall its movement. Then, press Ⓐ repeatedly. Keep hitting it with the Beam until the meter fills up. If you take too much time, it will run away."''
:''"If you catch a Pokémon, I want you to return it to the real world. Could you send the Pokémon you catch to the {{pkmn|Trainer}} you trust most?"''
:''"That Pokémon just now! That's it! Wow! Encountering it on your first search is just amazing! THAT is the mystery Pokémon I've been looking for!"''
:''"Great work! I'm so happy to have met you! I really want your help. First, let's collect the Dream Orbs I need for my research! Dream Clouds usually appear at a rate of one every five minutes. They don't form while you're researching, though. So visit the Interdream Zone after many Dream Clouds have appeared. So, whatcha think? I'll be counting on you from here out."''

* When only 1 Dream Cloud appear in a search
:''"Dream Clouds appear to generate more energy when in a big cluster. Maybe you should search when many clouds have appeared. When there aren't many clouds, they don't leave as many Dream Orbs. Patience is important. Take it easy. This should feel like a leisurely stroll in the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Take some time between searches."''

* After selecting "Next search"
:''"Thanks for all your hard work"''
:''"My inventions haven't been well received by the researchers..."''
:''"It seems something about my devices is always a little odd."''

* After clearing a search
:''"Welcome back!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Are you used to operating the device now? To catch a Pokémon, fire the Beam with Ⓐ and hit it. Then, press Ⓐ, and keep hitting it with the Beam."''
:''"Thanks for the hard work! Are you making sure to eat?"''
:''"Dreams can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries sometimes. Maybe dreams are important because the reins are taken off the cerebrum."''
:''"I feel good leaving those Pokémon with a Trainer that you trust! Have you tried sending them research data yet? I can't wait to hear about the adventures those Pokémon have."''
:''"I think I'll have a little ice cream to cool my head... Ice cream... That ice-cream cone [[Fennel]] brought was sure delicious."''
:''"Your friend is in the Unova region, right? I hear there's a [[Gym Leader]] there called [[Roxie]], and she's really tough! But I guess when it comes down to it, I'm a researcher, not a battler!"''
:''"If you encounter a quick Pokémon, use the Dragnet Charge. It slows them down so they're easier to catch."''
:''"The Dream Orbs you're gathering are vital to my research. They're a sample from the Interdream Zone. Thanks for always gathering them. It's a big help!"''
:''"At the current Visoscope level, all of the Dream Clouds will appear... in the time it takes for the sun to look like it has moved 30 degrees. So, in about 120 minutes!"''

:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Hold down Ⓐ to fire the Beam in rapid succession."''
:''"It's nice of you to work so hard, but make sure to get lots of sleep!"''
:''"I'm shocked how much my research has progressed since you arrived!"''
:''"Are dreams just noise? Or do they have a vital meaning for us?"''
:''"I really want some fresh air. Maybe I'll go for a walk."''
:''"Could people and Pokémon dream to process strange experiences? Or do we dream because sleep puts the brain in a special state? There are still many mysteries."''
:''"Are you using support items? They make it much easier to catch Pokémon, so try them out!"''
:''"When I counted them, I found out that you gathered... <number> Dream Orbs! Thanks for bringing me so many!"''
:''"My research is moving along! Science isn't about the absolute... it's about always moving forward into the next phase! That's why it's endlessly fascinating."''

* ???
:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
:''"I'm working on an extension for catching Therian Forme Pokémon... Development is moving right along. I'm over halfway done!"''

:''"Welcome back!"''
:''"Thanks to you, the Eureka Extension β is almost done! I'm making my final adjustments. I can't wait to see how it turns out!"''

* When selecting the Development Lab (first time)
:''"I want to upgrade the device you're using, but I need Dream Orbs. I will be able to make more progress if I have a lot, so keep 'em coming!"''

* After making a selection
:''"For that I will need <number> Dream Orbs. OK?"''
::'''YES''': ''"OK! Just leave it to me!"''

* After any upgrades
:''"Now, everything is ready to go! Anything else you're interested in?"''

* When selecting Development Lab (subsequent times)
:''"Whatcha think? Want to try out one of the inventions I'm developing?"''

* When Retrieval Extension is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you my research is moving along nicely. And I completed a new extension! The {{color|FFA500|Retrieval Extension}} makes it easier to find Pokémon. If you'd like, use it the next time you go out on a search."''

* When Eureka Extension α is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you, I finally finished this extension! With this, you will be able to find the mystery Pokémon! I want you to do your best and catch it! If anyone can catch a Pokémon no one has caught before, it's you! I believe in you!"''

* After catching Tornadus
:''"I never would have guessed that the mystery Pokémon was {{p|Tornadus}}! I just did a lot of research on that Tornadus... The reason it looks different than it does in the real world is... it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]]! Those other two Pokémon I saw... they must have been Therian Forme {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}}. I'll get to work on extensions that will let you meet those two. I'll need lots of Dream Orbs, but you're here, so I'm not worried! I'm counting on you! Keep up the good work!"''

* When Dowsing Extension is unlocked
:''"An idea pooped into my head as I was watching you work. I made this new extension. The {{color|FFA500|Dowsing Extension}} reacts to Pokémon that are holding items. Try it out the next time you go out to search."''

* When Eureka Extension β is unlocked
:''"I completed the extension! With this, you should be able to find a Therian Forme Pokémon. You caught Tornadus, so I'm sure you'll succeed this time, too! Good luck!"''

* When Eureka Extension γ is unlocked
:''"The extension is ready! If you search with this, the identities of all the Therian Forme Pokémon... will finally be clear. I really want you to catch it, but don't do anything crazy. I don't want you to get hurt! I mean... You're the only one here who is a decent shot with that Beam. Kidding...kidding. Sentimental stuff makes me a little embarrassed. I mean, you're one of my teammates, and you're very important to me. OK. I'm counting on you! See you when you get back!"''

* After catching Thundurus
:''"I knew you could do it! What you just caught now is Therian Forme Thundurus. What a foreboding appearance! How wonderful! I'm sure researching Therian Forme Pokémon is important. It'll be a big part of unlocking the mysteries of the Interdream Zone. I'm working on an extension to find Landorus, but I need Dream Orbs. I'm counting on you!"''

* After catching Landorus
:''"Welcome back! Thank you so much! Excellent work! Therian Forme Landorus! I can barely take my eyes off it. What's more, researching these three Pokémon will not only... teach us much about the Interdream Zone... it will also shed light on many mysteries in the real world as well. It might change everything we know about dreams and reality. What you found for me may be a clue about a new dimension. This is a discovery for the history books. My research is going to get even more interesting. You've really gone above and beyond for me... but I'd be really happy if you'd come help when you have a little time... like during breaks from your research or something like that. I mean, no other researchers have instincts as good as yours. Whatcha think? Hee hee. I can't wait to see what you'll help me discover next!"''

* When Simulator α, Simulator β, and Simulator γ are unlocked
:''"I've been waiting for you. I came up with something neat... new simulators! I made them so we can research the traits of Tornadus and the others. If you'd like, use them like you'd use any other search extension. They need a lot of Dream Orbs to operate, though!"''

* When Temporal Extension is unlocked
:''"I had a sudden breakthrough and developed a new extension! It's called the Temporal Extension! Give it a try if you'd like!"''

* When Spatial Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a new extension between other projects. It's called the Spatial Extension! If you're interested, test it out."''

* When Renegade Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a strange extension. It's called the Renegade Extension! Its theme is alternate worlds! Give it a try!"''

* When Rainbow Extension is unlocked
:''"The Rainbow Extension is ready. Something good might happen! If you'd like, try it next time!"''

* When Diving Extension is unlocked
:''"I was inspired by the calm and by the rage of the sea. So I made the Diving Extension. Try it out next time."''

* When Special Extension A is unlocked
:''"The Special Extension A is ready to go!"''
:''"I made it when the idea popped into my head while playing with magnets."''
:''"If you'd like, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension B is unlocked
:''"When I was cleaning my drawer, I found the Special Extension B."''
:''"I made this extension a while ago, but if you want to, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension C is unlocked
:''"Hey, guess what? I just found the Special Extension C."''
:''"I think I might've been researching the rotation of the planet at the time."''
:''"If you'd like, try it during your next search."''

* Records
:''"These are the records of your work! Whatcha think about that?

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Burnet anime.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Burnet debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. She first appeared on television, having won the "Alola Woman of the Year" award and being noted as the first active researcher to win. She was later seen investigating the [[Altar of the Sunne]] alongside {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, due to Ultra Aura being detected from that location. After returning empty-handed to [[Aether Paradise]], another Ultra Aura signature was detected on [[Melemele Island]], the source being {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. As a result, Professor Burnet and the others headed over to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. There, she was introduced to {{Ash}} and told him about the legend of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and the possibility of Nebby being one.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', Burnet was seen conducting her research at Aether Paradise and met Ash's other classmates for the first time. Burnet stayed at Professor Kukui's house for a sleepover in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''. While spending time together, she started bonding with Kukui. She later had a talk with Lillie about Lusamine, telling her Lusamine does care about her
[[File:Professor Kukui Burnet Wedding Outfits.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet about to get married]]
Following Lusamine's abduction at the hands of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}, she helped the group in their quest to save her. In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', as she was on her way to the others at the Altar of the Sunne, she got attacked by a group of wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but was saved by Professor Kukui. This, however, caused the two to not make it in time to enter [[Ultra Space]] with Ash and the others. Although, she had to stay behind, Burnet still helped out by leaving a marker using a machine, which later allowed Ash and his friends to return to their own world.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', she and Kukui got married after the latter had proposed to her. Since their marriage, Burnet has moved in with Kukui and Ash and has made more frequent appearances in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} ever since.

Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Burnet, along with Lusamine and Wicke, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as [[Ultra Guardians]]. She also often accompanies them when the {{pkmn2|caught}} Ultra Beast gets {{pkmn2|released}} back into Ultra Space.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over [[Alola]], leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. Burnet was first seen lying on the floor, unmotivated to perform her usual field work. She was later seen at Aether Paradise with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba. After doing some research, they found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use their [[Z-Move]]s to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's location. In [[SM088|the next episode]], Burnet and the others witnessed {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.
[[File:Burnet pregnant.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet pregnant]]
[[SM089|Later]], after the Ultra Guardians left for [[Ultra Space]] with a fully recovered Lunala, Burnet stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Wicke to gather information on UB Black and its connection to "{{p|Necrozma|the Blinding One}}". She later discovered that UB Black was in fact the Blinding One, who lost its light. She also found out that in order to restore it back to its former self, the light from {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, as well as from the people of Alola and their Pokémon, had to be shared with it through prayer. After Wicke managed regain contact with the Ultra Guardians in [[SM090|the next episode]], Burnet was able to share her findings with them. She then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. After Necrozma returned to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, Burnet watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, and Kukui.

In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', Burnet was extremely excited to see the Masked Royal in person at the [[Hau'oli City]] Shopping Mall. Accompanied by Ash and [[Molayne]], she attended the meet-and-greet and became incredibly flustered in the Masked Royal's presence, unaware of the fact he was actually her husband in disguise. She finally learned that Kukui was the Masked Royal in ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' after it was announced during the [[Manalo Conference]].

During the Manalo Conference, Burnet watched the battles alongside Lusamine, Wicke, and later Faba. During Ash and Kukui's exhibition match, she sat with {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} to watch the battle. She was happy to see how much fun Kukui had battling.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Burnet bade farewell to Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie, and Ash as they left Alola for their respective travels. Burnet was later revealed to be pregnant.

===Character===
Professor Burnet is a well respected research scientist who specializes in [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Her intelligence and technical knowledge is impressive. While Burnet's approachable and positive attitude makes her instantly likable.

After moving in with her new husband {{an|Professor Kukui|Kukui}}, from ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' onward, Burnet became a motherly figure for the household. Burnet supported Ash during his time in [[Alola]], offering him advice like in ''[[SM097|No Syone Unturned!]]'' where she suggested Ash teach {{AP|Rowlet}} a new [[move]] to defeat [[Hau]]. She also became a motherly-figure for Ash, and supported him as a mother would, and when Ash was [[SM146|set to departure]] from [[Alola]], Burnet cried and hugged the young Trainer, saying that she, and Kukui, would always be there for him should he ever need their help.

[[File:Professor Burnet B2W2 chapter.png|thumb|150px|left|Professor Burnet in the eleventh chapter]]
====History====
====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Professor Burnet debuted in this chapter. She was first seen in a fantasy in [[PS541]], where she was mentioned by [[Fennel]], who said she was a great help to her research on [[Dream Mist]].

====={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Burnet moved to the [[Alola]] region and married [[Professor Kukui]]. Three months prior to the start of the chapter, Burnet found [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby|a Pokémon]] lying unconscious on a beach. In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', she was seen with Lillie at [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, where they watched a tournament being held at an [[Iki Town]] festival on the television. Burnet was excited to see the Masked Royal battle against {{adv|Sun}} in the first round, but was disappointed when he ends up losing.

Later, Burnet received several Pokémon documents from Kukui while he was at the Dimensional Research Lab. As they talked, Burnet revealed that Nebby is actually the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cosmog}}. Burnet suggested that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui's surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it could help her begin to open up more.

Later, Burnet decided to take Lillie shopping in order to get her out of the house more. As they headed towards [[Hau'oli City]]'s boutique, Burnet accidentally triggered painful memories of Lillie's past. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out and begin clawing at the sky, creating a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]] in the process. When Lillie eventually fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her condition out of concern. Later that day, Burnet contacted Professor Kukui, {{adv|Sun}}, {{adv|Moon}}, and their friends and told them all about what happened to Lillie. With this information, everyone speculated that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby from them. Worried that she may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Professor Kukui suggested Burnet meet up with him, Sun, and Moon at [[Ula'ula Island]].

Later, Burnet and Lillie used [[Mantine Surf]] to travel over the water to Professor Kukui's yacht as it headed off to Ula'ula. Shortly after arriving, the group was attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which used its psychic powers to give everyone headaches and pass out. Although Sun successfully rescued Lillie, who was knocked into the water, he and Lillie ended up passing out as well and are separated from the others. Later, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and offered to give a tour of Aether Paradise.

Later, after leaving Aether Paradise, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon took Kukui's yacht to Ula'ula Island. Kukui, sensing a strange change in the atmosphere, feared that a battle may have started in the hour since the Captains' group arrived at [[Po Town]] to talk with [[Team Skull]]. With nowhere to dock the yacht, Moon told Kukui to get as close to Ula'ula as he can while she had Rowlet carry her to Po Town by flying through the air. After finding a place to dock, Burnet and Kukui met back up with Sun and Moon in Po Town. Kukui gave Sun one of the [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] that was left behind on the yacht so that Sun and Moon could feed it to {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.

Later, Burnet went off to the [[Aether House]] to meet up with Lillie. When Lillie spotted [[Gladion]] fighting off one of the [[Ultra Beasts]] that had been rampaging around Alola, she ran off to go see him. When Lillie arrived at Gladion's location, she was attacked by a {{p|Guzzlord}}. Though Burnet tried to protect Lillie, both were saved by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. To everyone's surprise, Lillie and Gladion revealed themselves to be siblings as well as the children of Aether Foundation President, [[Lusamine]]. Lillie explained that three months ago, she stole Nebby from Lusamine in order to prevent her from using its power to further her plans. When Lillie presented a [[Sun Flute]] she also took from Aether Paradise, Gladion decided that they should head towards the altar.

'''Professor Burnet''' (Japanese: '''バーネット博士''' ''Dr. Burnet'') is a researcher who debuted in [[Pokémon Dream Radar]]. Her research specializes in the relationship between Pokémon and other [[dimensions]].

==In the games==
Professor Burnet studies the [[Interdream Zone]], the space between dreams and reality. She is friends with [[Fennel]] from college; they became friends because they were both interested in studying dreams.

Burnet made her [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], where she is revealed to have married [[Professor Kukui]] of [[Alola]]. Three months prior to the start of the story, Burnet had found [[Lillie]] lying on a beach, with [[Nebby]] in her bag. Ever since, she and her husband have been helping Lillie find out more about Nebby. After the {{player}} completes the three island trials of [[Akala Island]], Kukui invites the player to the Dimensional Research Lab in [[Heahea City]], where she has been researching the strange phenomena occurring in the Alola region, the [[Ultra Wormhole]] and the [[Ultra Beast]]s. She appears in the same role in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

===Quotes===
{{incomplete|section|Pokémon Dream Radar}}
====[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]====
* When starting the game
:''"So you're the new researcher? I appreciate you coming along. I'm Burnet! I research dreams. As part of that research, I'm investigating a certain place. I'm really fascinated by something I saw there--the mystery Pokémon!"''
:''"So! I want you to help me with my research! Whatcha think? Try tapping {{color|FFA500|Start Search}} on the device in your hand."''
::'''Start Search: Basic Extension''': ''"OK! Now we're ready. Let's be on our way!"''

* When searching for the first time
:''"Hee hee! So, whatcha think? I had you dive right in without an explanation, but... right now, you're looking at the space between dreams and reality. It's called the Interdream Zone. Let's start by having a look around!"''
:''"So, you see a fluffy object floating there like a cloud, right? That's a Dream Cloud! They materialize in different cycles and create energy. And what I'd like you to help me with is collecting that energy! I want you to gather the Dream Orbs made by the Dream Clouds. So, whatcha think? I'll tell you how to gather them... Could you align the crosshairs with a cloud in the center of the screen? When a cloud is in your sights, press Ⓐ!"''
:''"Well, how about that? You're amazing! That Beam isn't exactly easy to get the hang of, but... not only were you blasting away with ease, but your aim was spot on, too! Can you keep it up and hit the remaining clouds with the Beam? The number of clouds left is next to the cloud icon on the Touch Screen. Oh yeah! The orbs coming from the clouds are called Dream Orbs. To gather them, hit them with the Beam. Use Ⓐ, just like before."''
:''"Could it be? That light might be a Pokémon. Sometimes Pokémon slip into the Interdream Zone. Would you help it out? You have to catch it first. Use Ⓐ to fire the Beam and stall its movement. Then, press Ⓐ repeatedly. Keep hitting it with the Beam until the meter fills up. If you take too much time, it will run away."''
:''"If you catch a Pokémon, I want you to return it to the real world. Could you send the Pokémon you catch to the {{pkmn|Trainer}} you trust most?"''
:''"That Pokémon just now! That's it! Wow! Encountering it on your first search is just amazing! THAT is the mystery Pokémon I've been looking for!"''
:''"Great work! I'm so happy to have met you! I really want your help. First, let's collect the Dream Orbs I need for my research! Dream Clouds usually appear at a rate of one every five minutes. They don't form while you're researching, though. So visit the Interdream Zone after many Dream Clouds have appeared. So, whatcha think? I'll be counting on you from here out."''

* When only 1 Dream Cloud appear in a search
:''"Dream Clouds appear to generate more energy when in a big cluster. Maybe you should search when many clouds have appeared. When there aren't many clouds, they don't leave as many Dream Orbs. Patience is important. Take it easy. This should feel like a leisurely stroll in the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Take some time between searches."''

* After selecting "Next search"
:''"Thanks for all your hard work"''
:''"My inventions haven't been well received by the researchers..."''
:''"It seems something about my devices is always a little odd."''

* After clearing a search
:''"Welcome back!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Are you used to operating the device now? To catch a Pokémon, fire the Beam with Ⓐ and hit it. Then, press Ⓐ, and keep hitting it with the Beam."''
:''"Thanks for the hard work! Are you making sure to eat?"''
:''"Dreams can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries sometimes. Maybe dreams are important because the reins are taken off the cerebrum."''
:''"I feel good leaving those Pokémon with a Trainer that you trust! Have you tried sending them research data yet? I can't wait to hear about the adventures those Pokémon have."''
:''"I think I'll have a little ice cream to cool my head... Ice cream... That ice-cream cone [[Fennel]] brought was sure delicious."''
:''"Your friend is in the Unova region, right? I hear there's a [[Gym Leader]] there called [[Roxie]], and she's really tough! But I guess when it comes down to it, I'm a researcher, not a battler!"''
:''"If you encounter a quick Pokémon, use the Dragnet Charge. It slows them down so they're easier to catch."''
:''"The Dream Orbs you're gathering are vital to my research. They're a sample from the Interdream Zone. Thanks for always gathering them. It's a big help!"''
:''"At the current Visoscope level, all of the Dream Clouds will appear... in the time it takes for the sun to look like it has moved 30 degrees. So, in about 120 minutes!"''

:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Hold down Ⓐ to fire the Beam in rapid succession."''
:''"It's nice of you to work so hard, but make sure to get lots of sleep!"''
:''"I'm shocked how much my research has progressed since you arrived!"''
:''"Are dreams just noise? Or do they have a vital meaning for us?"''
:''"I really want some fresh air. Maybe I'll go for a walk."''
:''"Could people and Pokémon dream to process strange experiences? Or do we dream because sleep puts the brain in a special state? There are still many mysteries."''
:''"Are you using support items? They make it much easier to catch Pokémon, so try them out!"''
:''"When I counted them, I found out that you gathered... <number> Dream Orbs! Thanks for bringing me so many!"''
:''"My research is moving along! Science isn't about the absolute... it's about always moving forward into the next phase! That's why it's endlessly fascinating."''

* ???
:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
:''"I'm working on an extension for catching Therian Forme Pokémon... Development is moving right along. I'm over halfway done!"''

:''"Welcome back!"''
:''"Thanks to you, the Eureka Extension β is almost done! I'm making my final adjustments. I can't wait to see how it turns out!"''

* When selecting the Development Lab (first time)
:''"I want to upgrade the device you're using, but I need Dream Orbs. I will be able to make more progress if I have a lot, so keep 'em coming!"''

* After making a selection
:''"For that I will need <number> Dream Orbs. OK?"''
::'''YES''': ''"OK! Just leave it to me!"''

* After any upgrades
:''"Now, everything is ready to go! Anything else you're interested in?"''

* When selecting Development Lab (subsequent times)
:''"Whatcha think? Want to try out one of the inventions I'm developing?"''

* When Retrieval Extension is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you my research is moving along nicely. And I completed a new extension! The {{color|FFA500|Retrieval Extension}} makes it easier to find Pokémon. If you'd like, use it the next time you go out on a search."''

* When Eureka Extension α is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you, I finally finished this extension! With this, you will be able to find the mystery Pokémon! I want you to do your best and catch it! If anyone can catch a Pokémon no one has caught before, it's you! I believe in you!"''

* After catching Tornadus
:''"I never would have guessed that the mystery Pokémon was {{p|Tornadus}}! I just did a lot of research on that Tornadus... The reason it looks different than it does in the real world is... it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]]! Those other two Pokémon I saw... they must have been Therian Forme {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}}. I'll get to work on extensions that will let you meet those two. I'll need lots of Dream Orbs, but you're here, so I'm not worried! I'm counting on you! Keep up the good work!"''

* When Dowsing Extension is unlocked
:''"An idea pooped into my head as I was watching you work. I made this new extension. The {{color|FFA500|Dowsing Extension}} reacts to Pokémon that are holding items. Try it out the next time you go out to search."''

* When Eureka Extension β is unlocked
:''"I completed the extension! With this, you should be able to find a Therian Forme Pokémon. You caught Tornadus, so I'm sure you'll succeed this time, too! Good luck!"''

* When Eureka Extension γ is unlocked
:''"The extension is ready! If you search with this, the identities of all the Therian Forme Pokémon... will finally be clear. I really want you to catch it, but don't do anything crazy. I don't want you to get hurt! I mean... You're the only one here who is a decent shot with that Beam. Kidding...kidding. Sentimental stuff makes me a little embarrassed. I mean, you're one of my teammates, and you're very important to me. OK. I'm counting on you! See you when you get back!"''

* After catching Thundurus
:''"I knew you could do it! What you just caught now is Therian Forme Thundurus. What a foreboding appearance! How wonderful! I'm sure researching Therian Forme Pokémon is important. It'll be a big part of unlocking the mysteries of the Interdream Zone. I'm working on an extension to find Landorus, but I need Dream Orbs. I'm counting on you!"''

* After catching Landorus
:''"Welcome back! Thank you so much! Excellent work! Therian Forme Landorus! I can barely take my eyes off it. What's more, researching these three Pokémon will not only... teach us much about the Interdream Zone... it will also shed light on many mysteries in the real world as well. It might change everything we know about dreams and reality. What you found for me may be a clue about a new dimension. This is a discovery for the history books. My research is going to get even more interesting. You've really gone above and beyond for me... but I'd be really happy if you'd come help when you have a little time... like during breaks from your research or something like that. I mean, no other researchers have instincts as good as yours. Whatcha think? Hee hee. I can't wait to see what you'll help me discover next!"''

* When Simulator α, Simulator β, and Simulator γ are unlocked
:''"I've been waiting for you. I came up with something neat... new simulators! I made them so we can research the traits of Tornadus and the others. If you'd like, use them like you'd use any other search extension. They need a lot of Dream Orbs to operate, though!"''

* When Temporal Extension is unlocked
:''"I had a sudden breakthrough and developed a new extension! It's called the Temporal Extension! Give it a try if you'd like!"''

* When Spatial Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a new extension between other projects. It's called the Spatial Extension! If you're interested, test it out."''

* When Renegade Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a strange extension. It's called the Renegade Extension! Its theme is alternate worlds! Give it a try!"''

* When Rainbow Extension is unlocked
:''"The Rainbow Extension is ready. Something good might happen! If you'd like, try it next time!"''

* When Diving Extension is unlocked
:''"I was inspired by the calm and by the rage of the sea. So I made the Diving Extension. Try it out next time."''

* When Special Extension A is unlocked
:''"The Special Extension A is ready to go!"''
:''"I made it when the idea popped into my head while playing with magnets."''
:''"If you'd like, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension B is unlocked
:''"When I was cleaning my drawer, I found the Special Extension B."''
:''"I made this extension a while ago, but if you want to, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension C is unlocked
:''"Hey, guess what? I just found the Special Extension C."''
:''"I think I might've been researching the rotation of the planet at the time."''
:''"If you'd like, try it during your next search."''

* Records
:''"These are the records of your work! Whatcha think about that?

:''"I'd be happy to! The mysteries of [[Alola]], huh? Then you've got to mean..."''
:''"the {{color|F00|Ultra Wormhole}}!"''
:''"It's extremely rare, but sometimes a hole opens in the sky over Alola. It appears that this rift leads to a different and unknown dimension."''
:''"The reason that people think there may be a mysterious dimension is because of the legends of fearsome Pokémon appearing from the [[Ultra Wormhole]]."''
:''"It's very weak as proof, but I can't ignore it. There is also plenty of evidence already in the Pokédex for the existence of different dimensions, right?"''
:''"Even normal [[wild Pokémon]] sometimes attack people, right? But the Pokémon that appeared from the Ultra Wormhole went way beyond that."''
:''"They were called [[Ultra Beast]]s... And they were feared. If the stories are to be believed, the [[guardian deities]] of the islands fought desperately against them."''
:''"But like I said, it's all legends and folktales. It's hard to know how much is true."''
:''"But I would be very happy if I could somehow unravel the mysteries of the Ultra Wormhole by studying the dimensional disturbances!"''
:''"We've recorded several known relationships between Pokémon and different dimensions in books. You can find them on the bookshelf in this lab."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Burnet anime.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Burnet debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. She first appeared on television, having won the "Alola Woman of the Year" award and being noted as the first active researcher to win. She was later seen investigating the [[Altar of the Sunne]] alongside {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, due to Ultra Aura being detected from that location. After returning empty-handed to [[Aether Paradise]], another Ultra Aura signature was detected on [[Melemele Island]], the source being {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. As a result, Professor Burnet and the others headed over to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. There, she was introduced to {{Ash}} and told him about the legend of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and the possibility of Nebby being one.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', Burnet was seen conducting her research at Aether Paradise and met Ash's other classmates for the first time. Burnet stayed at Professor Kukui's house for a sleepover in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''. While spending time together, she started bonding with Kukui. She later had a talk with Lillie about Lusamine, telling her Lusamine does care about her
[[File:Professor Kukui Burnet Wedding Outfits.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet about to get married]]
Following Lusamine's abduction at the hands of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}, she helped the group in their quest to save her. In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', as she was on her way to the others at the Altar of the Sunne, she got attacked by a group of wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but was saved by Professor Kukui. This, however, caused the two to not make it in time to enter [[Ultra Space]] with Ash and the others. Although, she had to stay behind, Burnet still helped out by leaving a marker using a machine, which later allowed Ash and his friends to return to their own world.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', she and Kukui got married after the latter had proposed to her. Since their marriage, Burnet has moved in with Kukui and Ash and has made more frequent appearances in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} ever since.

Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Burnet, along with Lusamine and Wicke, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as [[Ultra Guardians]]. She also often accompanies them when the {{pkmn2|caught}} Ultra Beast gets {{pkmn2|released}} back into Ultra Space.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over [[Alola]], leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. Burnet was first seen lying on the floor, unmotivated to perform her usual field work. She was later seen at Aether Paradise with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba. After doing some research, they found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use their [[Z-Move]]s to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's location. In [[SM088|the next episode]], Burnet and the others witnessed {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.
[[File:Burnet pregnant.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet pregnant]]
[[SM089|Later]], after the Ultra Guardians left for [[Ultra Space]] with a fully recovered Lunala, Burnet stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Wicke to gather information on UB Black and its connection to "{{p|Necrozma|the Blinding One}}". She later discovered that UB Black was in fact the Blinding One, who lost its light. She also found out that in order to restore it back to its former self, the light from {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, as well as from the people of Alola and their Pokémon, had to be shared with it through prayer. After Wicke managed regain contact with the Ultra Guardians in [[SM090|the next episode]], Burnet was able to share her findings with them. She then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. After Necrozma returned to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, Burnet watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, and Kukui.

In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', Burnet was extremely excited to see the Masked Royal in person at the [[Hau'oli City]] Shopping Mall. Accompanied by Ash and [[Molayne]], she attended the meet-and-greet and became incredibly flustered in the Masked Royal's presence, unaware of the fact he was actually her husband in disguise. She finally learned that Kukui was the Masked Royal in ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' after it was announced during the [[Manalo Conference]].

During the Manalo Conference, Burnet watched the battles alongside Lusamine, Wicke, and later Faba. During Ash and Kukui's exhibition match, she sat with {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} to watch the battle. She was happy to see how much fun Kukui had battling.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Burnet bade farewell to Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie, and Ash as they left Alola for their respective travels. Burnet was later revealed to be pregnant.

===Character===
Professor Burnet is a well respected research scientist who specializes in [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Her intelligence and technical knowledge is impressive. While Burnet's approachable and positive attitude makes her instantly likable.

After moving in with her new husband {{an|Professor Kukui|Kukui}}, from ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' onward, Burnet became a motherly figure for the household. Burnet supported Ash during his time in [[Alola]], offering him advice like in ''[[SM097|No Syone Unturned!]]'' where she suggested Ash teach {{AP|Rowlet}} a new [[move]] to defeat [[Hau]]. She also became a motherly-figure for Ash, and supported him as a mother would, and when Ash was [[SM146|set to departure]] from [[Alola]], Burnet cried and hugged the young Trainer, saying that she, and Kukui, would always be there for him should he ever need their help.

[[File:Masked Royal Professor Burnet Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Burnet in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Professor Burnet B2W2 chapter.png|thumb|150px|left|Professor Burnet in the eleventh chapter]]
====History====
====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Professor Burnet debuted in this chapter. She was first seen in a fantasy in [[PS541]], where she was mentioned by [[Fennel]], who said she was a great help to her research on [[Dream Mist]].

====={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Burnet moved to the [[Alola]] region and married [[Professor Kukui]]. Three months prior to the start of the chapter, Burnet found [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby|a Pokémon]] lying unconscious on a beach. In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', she was seen with Lillie at [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, where they watched a tournament being held at an [[Iki Town]] festival on the television. Burnet was excited to see the Masked Royal battle against {{adv|Sun}} in the first round, but was disappointed when he ends up losing.

Later, Burnet received several Pokémon documents from Kukui while he was at the Dimensional Research Lab. As they talked, Burnet revealed that Nebby is actually the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cosmog}}. Burnet suggested that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui's surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it could help her begin to open up more.

Later, Burnet decided to take Lillie shopping in order to get her out of the house more. As they headed towards [[Hau'oli City]]'s boutique, Burnet accidentally triggered painful memories of Lillie's past. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out and begin clawing at the sky, creating a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]] in the process. When Lillie eventually fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her condition out of concern. Later that day, Burnet contacted Professor Kukui, {{adv|Sun}}, {{adv|Moon}}, and their friends and told them all about what happened to Lillie. With this information, everyone speculated that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby from them. Worried that she may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Professor Kukui suggested Burnet meet up with him, Sun, and Moon at [[Ula'ula Island]].

Later, Burnet and Lillie used [[Mantine Surf]] to travel over the water to Professor Kukui's yacht as it headed off to Ula'ula. Shortly after arriving, the group was attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which used its psychic powers to give everyone headaches and pass out. Although Sun successfully rescued Lillie, who was knocked into the water, he and Lillie ended up passing out as well and are separated from the others. Later, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and offered to give a tour of Aether Paradise.

Later, after leaving Aether Paradise, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon took Kukui's yacht to Ula'ula Island. Kukui, sensing a strange change in the atmosphere, feared that a battle may have started in the hour since the Captains' group arrived at [[Po Town]] to talk with [[Team Skull]]. With nowhere to dock the yacht, Moon told Kukui to get as close to Ula'ula as he can while she had Rowlet carry her to Po Town by flying through the air. After finding a place to dock, Burnet and Kukui met back up with Sun and Moon in Po Town. Kukui gave Sun one of the [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] that was left behind on the yacht so that Sun and Moon could feed it to {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.

Later, Burnet went off to the [[Aether House]] to meet up with Lillie. When Lillie spotted [[Gladion]] fighting off one of the [[Ultra Beasts]] that had been rampaging around Alola, she ran off to go see him. When Lillie arrived at Gladion's location, she was attacked by a {{p|Guzzlord}}. Though Burnet tried to protect Lillie, both were saved by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. To everyone's surprise, Lillie and Gladion revealed themselves to be siblings as well as the children of Aether Foundation President, [[Lusamine]]. Lillie explained that three months ago, she stole Nebby from Lusamine in order to prevent her from using its power to further her plans. When Lillie presented a [[Sun Flute]] she also took from Aether Paradise, Gladion decided that they should head towards the altar.

== {{m|Pound}} ==

Skąd to tłumaczenie? ''Pound'' i ''Grom'' nie mają ze sobą nic wspólnego (Grom jest poza tym używany do {{m|Thunder}}, jako że ten rzeczownik ma więcej wspólnego z błyskawicami niż... waleniem czy tłuczeniem... Tytuł Thora [gromowładny] dobrze oddaje sens owego wyrazu). Na razie ukrywam, chyba że masz oficjalne źródło (tj. oficjalne tłumaczenie), bo coś nie gra. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:53, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

: Te tłumaczenie pochodzi właśnie z polskiego dubbingu anime, gdzie on był tak nazywany(choć to dziwna nazwa). Natomiast {{m|Thunder}} zwie się Grzmot. A jeśli gier Pokemon nie ma w naszym języku, to drugim źrodłem jest anime. [[User:Piotrek1113|Piotrek1113]] ([[User talk:Piotrek1113|talk]]) 21:51, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
::...mój błąd. :P Tłumaczenie gier miałoby pewną przeszkodę we fleksji ("Bulbasaur użył Słonecznego Promienia" a "<gracz> znalazł TM24 (Słoneczny Promień)". [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:15, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

:Before the airings of Captain Marvel in cinemas they showed the polish trailer (someone recorded the sound and mixed with the actual trailer, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cwausfzekg&t=0s). I can easily recognize this voice actor, because he voiced Brock in the tenth season of the anime (Diamond and Pearl).

==Blurb==

Ash and friends are leaving Mauville City, but Ash wants to go to the Pokémon Gym in Lavaridge Town while May wants to compete in a Pokémon Contest at Fallarbor Town. Max discovers the two towns are close to each other, so they decide on Fallarbor Town first.

Team Rocket stumbles into a huge watermelon patch but an Electrode disguised as a giant watermelon sends them blasting away. Some watermelons float downriver to be eaten by Ash and the gang. A Grovyle and Slugma attack them, and a girl named Natasha accuses them of being thieves. Her Electrode reveals the truth, so she invites them on a tour of her watermelon patch. After Natasha claims she's never lost a double battle, Ash challenges her.

Ash sends out his Treecko and Corphish to challenge Natasha's Pokémon, but they are quickly overmatched. Corphish and Slugma KO each other, leaving Treecko and Grovyle to duke it out. The battle is interrupted by Team Rocket returning to steal more watermelons.

Grovyle uses its Bullet Seed, but is gagged by an attack from Team Rocket's robot. Treecko uses Bullet Seed and manages to knock the melons down, and Pikachu zaps the robot, sending Team Rocket blasting off again.

Natasha and Ash resume the match, but Treecko is defeated by the power of Grovyle's Bullet Seed attack. The kids settle down to enjoy some juicy watermelon, and Ash and Pikachu try to encourage Treecko by spitting seeds at it. Treecko retaliates by using the real Bullet Seed move on them.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} leave the {{ci|Mauville}} [[Pokemon Center]] for the next town. {{an|May}} declares they should head to [[Fallabor Town]] for her next [[Pokémon Contest]], but [[Max]] consults his [[PokéNav]] and says the next [[Gym]] is in [[Lavaridge Town]]. As May and Ash momentarily argue on the next destination, Max consults the map on the PokéNav, and he declares they can do both as the two towns are neighbouring. {{an|Brock}} elaborates with the order, being Fallarbor Town, then Lavaridge. Meanwhile, {{TRT}}, while hungrily wandering, happens to find a field of watermelons and eagerly steal some for themselves. {{MTR}} then notices an unusually large watermelon before discovering that it is actually an {{p|Electrode}}. The watermelon-painted Electrode attacks Team Rocket with {{m|Rollout}}, causing them to be blasted into the sky, and the three watermelons they were holding descend and are carried down a river.

Down the river, Ash and company have just eaten Brock's prepared lunch. Max notices something floating down the river. Brock procures one of the watermelons from the river and experimentally taps it before affirming that it is good. Ash takes the watermelon from Brock and commands Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} to slice it open, though May hands it back to Brock for him to slice it. The group enjoy eating the watermelons, praising the sweetness. Ash spits out the seeds while eating, leading May to criticize his manners. May's reprimanding reminds him of the concept of seed-spitting, and he promptly brings out {{AP|Treecko}} from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Ash recalls his [[AG037|encounter]] with a {{p|Shiftry}} and asks Treecko to practice {{m|Bullet Seed}} with the watermelon's seeds. May comes over to Ash and asks about Bullet Seed, and Ash mentions how powerful {{p|Shiftry}}'s Bullet Seed [[AG037|was]]. Ash demonstrates how to spit the seeds of the watermelon several times. Eventually, a small glowing ball of energy forms in Treecko's throat, but before Treecko can unleash it as Bullet Seed they are all attacked by a real Bullet Seed.

A {{p|Grovyle}} confronts the group, so Ash checks the Pokémon out on his [[Pokédex]]. A {{p|Slugma}} appears at Grovyle's side, and May checks the Pokédex entry for it in turn. Again As Grovyle and Slugma attack the group with Bullet Seed and {{m|Ember}} respectively, and the group attempts to escape. A girl's voice is heard, commanding the two attacking Pokémon to stop. A green-haired girl approaches and accuses the group of being watermelon thieves. May and Ash both attempt to explain their situation, but the green-haired girl points to the supposed evidence, namely the plate of watermelon slices. Spontaneously, the girl bites into one and spits out some seeds in their direction. The girl introduces herself as [[Natasha]], the "Melon Master". Brock, Ash, and May attempt to explain the situation, though Natasha remains accusatory and demands they confess. As the watermelon-painted Electrode appears, May becomes frightened by the seemingly giant fruit, but Max informs her that it is actually an Electrode. Natasha points at them, stating that they must be the watermelon thieves that Electrode encountered before. Electrode shakes its head and, realizing her mistake, Natasha is apologetic. The group forgives her, adding that her watermelons were particularly sweet. Natasha decides that a tour of her watermelon patch is in order.

Natasha leads the others to her field, where she tells her Electrode to keep watch for the watermelon fields, and Electrode rolls away. Ash comments that Grovyle's Bullet Seed attack was really good and Max compliments Slugma's Ember as well. Natasha thanks their praise, and adds that the three of them have not lost a [[Double Battle]] yet. Ash states that he is skilled also, and made it to the best eight in the [[Silver Conference]]. On this, Natasha challenges Ash to a Double Battle match with her Grovyle and Slugma, and Ash eagerly accepts. Brock takes his position as referee, and states that the match will begin when both Trainers give the okay. Ash and Natasha both say such, and the battle commences. Ash sends out Treecko and {{AP|Corphish}}. May, on the sidelines, asks why Ash would send out Treecko against Grovyle, its own evolved form. Brock deduces that this decision is for Treecko to gain some advanced training. Ash commands Treecko to use {{m|Pound}} against Grovyle, and Corphish to use {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Slugma. On Natasha’s orders Grovyle dodges and fires a Bullet Seed to neutralize the Bubble Beam. Natasha commands Grovyle to fire Bullet Seed on Treecko, and Slugma to use Ember on Corphish. Ash counters this by commanding Corphish to use {{m|Harden}} while Treecko hides behind it. Natasha momentarily compliments Ash's strategy, and Ash orders that Treecko use {{m|Quick Attack}} on Grovyle and Corphish hit Slugma with {{m|Crabhammer}}. Natasha has Grovyle dodge Treecko’s advance and it lashes Corphish with a {{m|Leaf Blade}}. Shortly after, Natasha commands Grovyle to use Bullet Seed and for Slugma to use {{m|Flamethrower}}. Equally quickly, Ash counters by commanding Corphish to use Harden and Treecko to be shielded behind Corphish again. The two attacks hit Corphish, who emerges from the barrage slightly injured. Concerned, Ash asks if Corphish can still battle. Although tired, Corphish affirms this, and Ash reconsiders Natasha's strength, seeing why she has never lost at double battling. Later, Team Rocket reappears in Natasha’s patch, and consider how to steal the melons without Electrode interfering. Meowth has a [[Boss fantasy|fantasy]] involving the usefulness of the watermelons to {{an|Giovanni|the boss}}. As the trio cheer for their promotions, Electrode in shock.

Ash and Natasha’s match continues. Ash commands Treecko and Corphsh to attack, but Grovyle again dodges and uses Leaf Blade on Corphish. Natasha then tells Slugma to use {{m|Body Slam}} and for Grovyle to use Bullet Seed. By this command, Grovyle and Slugma rush forward to attack, and again Ash tells Corphish to use Harden and Treecko to be shielded behind. Slugma jumps into the air and covers Corphish, negating Treecko's effective protection. With this protection negated, Grovyle leaps into the air and hits Treecko with a direct Bullet Seed. Ash asks Treecko if it can still keep going, and, with some exhaustion, Treecko manages to stand. Equally exhausted, Corphish also struggles. Max and May comment with awe on how strong the two of Natasha's Pokémon are, and Ash exclaims to Natasha that he will demonstrate a combination of his own. Ash has Treecko grab a hold of Corphish's right claw, and Corphish propels it forward with its Crabhammer. Treecko increases its velocity with a Quick Attack and it slams directly into Grovyle, while Corphish batters Slugma with Crabhammer. Natasha remains confident as she order Grovyle to use {{m|Solar Beam}}. Ash commands Treecko and Corphish to perform the shield maneuver again, and Grovyle launches Solar Beam. Corphish braces against it, although more exhausted than before. Natasha commands Slugma to use Flamethrower, and Ash has Corphish use Bubble Beam. The two attacks collide into a plume of steam, where both Slugma and Corphish faint from the attacks. As Natasha and Ash [[recall]] their fainted Pokémon, Electrode comes over to Natasha and informs the group that it is the watermelon thieves again, prompting her to leave with the others in pursuit.

Team Rocket is in the field, inside a watermelon-picking {{p|Cacnea}}-shaped [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] with a basket tied to its back. The mecha then confronts the group, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] on the top beginning the {{motto}}. James pulls a lever, causing the mecha to consume an armful of melons before launching the leftover seeds directly at the group. Natasha commands Grovyle to use Bullet Seed at them, and Ash tells Treecko that it can learn Bullet Seed by watching Grovyle. Grovyle then launches Bullet Seed at Team Rocket, hitting the mecha. Meowth pulls a lever, and the Cacnea mecha pulls out a bazooka and fires an X-shaped tape at Grovyle's mouth, preventing it from using Bullet Seed. With this, Ash orders Treecko to use Bullet Seed. At first Treecko does not succeed, but with Ash's encouragement Treecko's second try hits the rope of the mecha's watermelon basket, causing the stolen fruit to fall. Natasha yells for everyone to catch the melons, and their scurrying attempts helps rescue the fruit. Ash commands {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, and the resulting detonation causes the mecha to explode and the evil trio are sent blasting off.

Returning to the battle, Ash commands Treecko to use Bullet Seed. Treecko attempts to perform Bullet Seed again, but it fails. Natasha commands Grovyle to use Leaf Blade, though Treecko dodges and Pounds it in a follow-up attack. Grovyle unleashes a Bullet Seed, but Treecko evades the move and knocks Groyle to the ground with a Quick Attack. Natasha asks Grovyle to get up, and with a struggle Grovyle does so. Treecko is panting heavily, and Ash notes that Treecko is almost out of energy. Natasha realizes that Grovyle does not have enough energy for Solar Beam, so she calls for another round of Bullet Seed. Ash retaliates, commanding Treecko to use Bullet Seed also. The Bullet Seed attacks collide in midair, but suddenly Treecko's Bullet Seed is depleted and Grovyle's Bullet Seed overwhelms Treecko. Brock declares that Treecko is unable to battle, handing Natasha the win.

After the battle, Natasha rewards everyone with some sliced watermelon. Treecko, however, is sitting by itself, clearly annoyed by its loss. Ash and Pikachu walk over to it, with Ash assuring Treecko that it will take time to perfect its Bullet Seed technique. Treecko dismisses Ash’s optimism, so Ash and Pikachu spraying seeds at the back of Treecko's head. Treecko, irritated, retaliates by firing a real Bullet Seed attack at them, and the two are knocked backwards. Brock comments that all Treecko needed was the right motivation, and Ash, offended, questions why Treecko was motivated to attack him. May responds that what Treecko learned was important, not what the target was.

* Corphish's claw is already glowing from {{m|Crabhammer}} when Treecko grabs onto it and before Ash says to use it.
* When Corphish tries to get up during the battle with Natasha, its lower claw is orange instead of cream.
* As everyone tries to catch the watermelons, Grovyle's mouth is no longer covered with tape.

'''Professor Burnet''' (Japanese: '''バーネット博士''' ''Dr. Burnet'') is a researcher who debuted in [[Pokémon Dream Radar]]. Her research specializes in the relationship between Pokémon and other [[dimensions]].

==In the games==
Professor Burnet studies the [[Interdream Zone]], the space between dreams and reality. She is friends with [[Fennel]] from college; they became friends because they were both interested in studying dreams.

Burnet made her [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], where she is revealed to have married [[Professor Kukui]] of [[Alola]]. Three months prior to the start of the story, Burnet had found [[Lillie]] lying on a beach, with [[Nebby]] in her bag. Ever since, she and her husband have been helping Lillie find out more about Nebby. After the {{player}} completes the three island trials of [[Akala Island]], Kukui invites the player to the Dimensional Research Lab in [[Heahea City]], where she has been researching the strange phenomena occurring in the Alola region, the [[Ultra Wormhole]] and the [[Ultra Beast]]s. She appears in the same role in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

===Quotes===
{{incomplete|section|Pokémon Dream Radar}}
====[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]====
* When starting the game
:''"So you're the new researcher? I appreciate you coming along. I'm Burnet! I research dreams. As part of that research, I'm investigating a certain place. I'm really fascinated by something I saw there--the mystery Pokémon!"''
:''"So! I want you to help me with my research! Whatcha think? Try tapping {{color|FFA500|Start Search}} on the device in your hand."''
::'''Start Search: Basic Extension''': ''"OK! Now we're ready. Let's be on our way!"''

* When searching for the first time
:''"Hee hee! So, whatcha think? I had you dive right in without an explanation, but... right now, you're looking at the space between dreams and reality. It's called the Interdream Zone. Let's start by having a look around!"''
:''"So, you see a fluffy object floating there like a cloud, right? That's a Dream Cloud! They materialize in different cycles and create energy. And what I'd like you to help me with is collecting that energy! I want you to gather the Dream Orbs made by the Dream Clouds. So, whatcha think? I'll tell you how to gather them... Could you align the crosshairs with a cloud in the center of the screen? When a cloud is in your sights, press Ⓐ!"''
:''"Well, how about that? You're amazing! That Beam isn't exactly easy to get the hang of, but... not only were you blasting away with ease, but your aim was spot on, too! Can you keep it up and hit the remaining clouds with the Beam? The number of clouds left is next to the cloud icon on the Touch Screen. Oh yeah! The orbs coming from the clouds are called Dream Orbs. To gather them, hit them with the Beam. Use Ⓐ, just like before."''
:''"Could it be? That light might be a Pokémon. Sometimes Pokémon slip into the Interdream Zone. Would you help it out? You have to catch it first. Use Ⓐ to fire the Beam and stall its movement. Then, press Ⓐ repeatedly. Keep hitting it with the Beam until the meter fills up. If you take too much time, it will run away."''
:''"If you catch a Pokémon, I want you to return it to the real world. Could you send the Pokémon you catch to the {{pkmn|Trainer}} you trust most?"''
:''"That Pokémon just now! That's it! Wow! Encountering it on your first search is just amazing! THAT is the mystery Pokémon I've been looking for!"''
:''"Great work! I'm so happy to have met you! I really want your help. First, let's collect the Dream Orbs I need for my research! Dream Clouds usually appear at a rate of one every five minutes. They don't form while you're researching, though. So visit the Interdream Zone after many Dream Clouds have appeared. So, whatcha think? I'll be counting on you from here out."''

* When only 1 Dream Cloud appear in a search
:''"Dream Clouds appear to generate more energy when in a big cluster. Maybe you should search when many clouds have appeared. When there aren't many clouds, they don't leave as many Dream Orbs. Patience is important. Take it easy. This should feel like a leisurely stroll in the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Take some time between searches."''

* After selecting "Next search"
:''"Thanks for all your hard work"''
:''"My inventions haven't been well received by the researchers..."''
:''"It seems something about my devices is always a little odd."''

* After clearing a search
:''"Welcome back!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Are you used to operating the device now? To catch a Pokémon, fire the Beam with Ⓐ and hit it. Then, press Ⓐ, and keep hitting it with the Beam."''
:''"Thanks for the hard work! Are you making sure to eat?"''
:''"Dreams can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries sometimes. Maybe dreams are important because the reins are taken off the cerebrum."''
:''"I feel good leaving those Pokémon with a Trainer that you trust! Have you tried sending them research data yet? I can't wait to hear about the adventures those Pokémon have."''
:''"I think I'll have a little ice cream to cool my head... Ice cream... That ice-cream cone [[Fennel]] brought was sure delicious."''
:''"Your friend is in the Unova region, right? I hear there's a [[Gym Leader]] there called [[Roxie]], and she's really tough! But I guess when it comes down to it, I'm a researcher, not a battler!"''
:''"If you encounter a quick Pokémon, use the Dragnet Charge. It slows them down so they're easier to catch."''
:''"The Dream Orbs you're gathering are vital to my research. They're a sample from the Interdream Zone. Thanks for always gathering them. It's a big help!"''
:''"At the current Visoscope level, all of the Dream Clouds will appear... in the time it takes for the sun to look like it has moved 30 degrees. So, in about 120 minutes!"''

:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
::Any of the followings
:''"Hold down Ⓐ to fire the Beam in rapid succession."''
:''"It's nice of you to work so hard, but make sure to get lots of sleep!"''
:''"I'm shocked how much my research has progressed since you arrived!"''
:''"Are dreams just noise? Or do they have a vital meaning for us?"''
:''"I really want some fresh air. Maybe I'll go for a walk."''
:''"Could people and Pokémon dream to process strange experiences? Or do we dream because sleep puts the brain in a special state? There are still many mysteries."''
:''"Are you using support items? They make it much easier to catch Pokémon, so try them out!"''
:''"When I counted them, I found out that you gathered... <number> Dream Orbs! Thanks for bringing me so many!"''
:''"My research is moving along! Science isn't about the absolute... it's about always moving forward into the next phase! That's why it's endlessly fascinating."''

* ???
:''"Thanks for all your efforts!"''
:''"I'm working on an extension for catching Therian Forme Pokémon... Development is moving right along. I'm over halfway done!"''

:''"Welcome back!"''
:''"Thanks to you, the Eureka Extension β is almost done! I'm making my final adjustments. I can't wait to see how it turns out!"''

* When selecting the Development Lab (first time)
:''"I want to upgrade the device you're using, but I need Dream Orbs. I will be able to make more progress if I have a lot, so keep 'em coming!"''

* After making a selection
:''"For that I will need <number> Dream Orbs. OK?"''
::'''YES''': ''"OK! Just leave it to me!"''

* After any upgrades
:''"Now, everything is ready to go! Anything else you're interested in?"''

* When selecting Development Lab (subsequent times)
:''"Whatcha think? Want to try out one of the inventions I'm developing?"''

* When Retrieval Extension is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you my research is moving along nicely. And I completed a new extension! The {{color|FFA500|Retrieval Extension}} makes it easier to find Pokémon. If you'd like, use it the next time you go out on a search."''

* When Eureka Extension α is unlocked
:''"Thanks to you, I finally finished this extension! With this, you will be able to find the mystery Pokémon! I want you to do your best and catch it! If anyone can catch a Pokémon no one has caught before, it's you! I believe in you!"''

* After catching Tornadus
:''"I never would have guessed that the mystery Pokémon was {{p|Tornadus}}! I just did a lot of research on that Tornadus... The reason it looks different than it does in the real world is... it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]]! Those other two Pokémon I saw... they must have been Therian Forme {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}}. I'll get to work on extensions that will let you meet those two. I'll need lots of Dream Orbs, but you're here, so I'm not worried! I'm counting on you! Keep up the good work!"''

* When Dowsing Extension is unlocked
:''"An idea pooped into my head as I was watching you work. I made this new extension. The {{color|FFA500|Dowsing Extension}} reacts to Pokémon that are holding items. Try it out the next time you go out to search."''

* When Eureka Extension β is unlocked
:''"I completed the extension! With this, you should be able to find a Therian Forme Pokémon. You caught Tornadus, so I'm sure you'll succeed this time, too! Good luck!"''

* When Eureka Extension γ is unlocked
:''"The extension is ready! If you search with this, the identities of all the Therian Forme Pokémon... will finally be clear. I really want you to catch it, but don't do anything crazy. I don't want you to get hurt! I mean... You're the only one here who is a decent shot with that Beam. Kidding...kidding. Sentimental stuff makes me a little embarrassed. I mean, you're one of my teammates, and you're very important to me. OK. I'm counting on you! See you when you get back!"''

* After catching Thundurus
:''"I knew you could do it! What you just caught now is Therian Forme Thundurus. What a foreboding appearance! How wonderful! I'm sure researching Therian Forme Pokémon is important. It'll be a big part of unlocking the mysteries of the Interdream Zone. I'm working on an extension to find Landorus, but I need Dream Orbs. I'm counting on you!"''

* After catching Landorus
:''"Welcome back! Thank you so much! Excellent work! Therian Forme Landorus! I can barely take my eyes off it. What's more, researching these three Pokémon will not only... teach us much about the Interdream Zone... it will also shed light on many mysteries in the real world as well. It might change everything we know about dreams and reality. What you found for me may be a clue about a new dimension. This is a discovery for the history books. My research is going to get even more interesting. You've really gone above and beyond for me... but I'd be really happy if you'd come help when you have a little time... like during breaks from your research or something like that. I mean, no other researchers have instincts as good as yours. Whatcha think? Hee hee. I can't wait to see what you'll help me discover next!"''

* When Simulator α, Simulator β, and Simulator γ are unlocked
:''"I've been waiting for you. I came up with something neat... new simulators! I made them so we can research the traits of Tornadus and the others. If you'd like, use them like you'd use any other search extension. They need a lot of Dream Orbs to operate, though!"''

* When Temporal Extension is unlocked
:''"I had a sudden breakthrough and developed a new extension! It's called the Temporal Extension! Give it a try if you'd like!"''

* When Spatial Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a new extension between other projects. It's called the Spatial Extension! If you're interested, test it out."''

* When Renegade Extension is unlocked
:''"I made a strange extension. It's called the Renegade Extension! Its theme is alternate worlds! Give it a try!"''

* When Rainbow Extension is unlocked
:''"The Rainbow Extension is ready. Something good might happen! If you'd like, try it next time!"''

* When Diving Extension is unlocked
:''"I was inspired by the calm and by the rage of the sea. So I made the Diving Extension. Try it out next time."''

* When Special Extension A is unlocked
:''"The Special Extension A is ready to go!"''
:''"I made it when the idea popped into my head while playing with magnets."''
:''"If you'd like, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension B is unlocked
:''"When I was cleaning my drawer, I found the Special Extension B."''
:''"I made this extension a while ago, but if you want to, give it a try."''

* When Special Extension C is unlocked
:''"Hey, guess what? I just found the Special Extension C."''
:''"I think I might've been researching the rotation of the planet at the time."''
:''"If you'd like, try it during your next search."''

* Records
:''"These are the records of your work! Whatcha think about that?

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Burnet anime.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Professor Burnet debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. She first appeared on television, having won the "Alola Woman of the Year" award and being noted as the first active researcher to win. She was later seen investigating the [[Altar of the Sunne]] alongside {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], and {{an|Faba}}, due to Ultra Aura being detected from that location. After returning empty-handed to [[Aether Paradise]], another Ultra Aura signature was detected on [[Melemele Island]], the source being {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}. As a result, Professor Burnet and the others headed over to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. There, she was introduced to {{Ash}} and told him about the legend of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and the possibility of Nebby being one.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', Burnet was seen conducting her research at Aether Paradise and met Ash's other classmates for the first time. Burnet stayed at Professor Kukui's house for a sleepover in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''. While spending time together, she started bonding with Kukui. She later had a talk with Lillie about Lusamine, telling her Lusamine does care about her
[[File:Professor Kukui Burnet Wedding Outfits.png|thumb|left|250px|Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet about to get married]]
Following Lusamine's abduction at the hands of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}, she helped the group in their quest to save her. In ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'', as she was on her way to the others at the Altar of the Sunne, she got attacked by a group of wild {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but was saved by Professor Kukui. This, however, caused the two to not make it in time to enter [[Ultra Space]] with Ash and the others. Although, she had to stay behind, Burnet still helped out by leaving a marker using a machine, which later allowed Ash and his friends to return to their own world.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', she and Kukui got married after the latter had proposed to her. Since their marriage, Burnet has moved in with Kukui and Ash and has made more frequent appearances in the {{series|Sun & Moon}} ever since.

Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Burnet, along with Lusamine and Wicke, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as [[Ultra Guardians]]. She also often accompanies them when the {{pkmn2|caught}} Ultra Beast gets {{pkmn2|released}} back into Ultra Space.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over [[Alola]], leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. Burnet was first seen lying on the floor, unmotivated to perform her usual field work. She was later seen at Aether Paradise with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba. After doing some research, they found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use their [[Z-Move]]s to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's location. In [[SM088|the next episode]], Burnet and the others witnessed {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Wicke, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.
[[File:Burnet pregnant.png|thumb|250px|Professor Burnet pregnant]]
[[SM089|Later]], after the Ultra Guardians left for [[Ultra Space]] with a fully recovered Lunala, Burnet stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Wicke to gather information on UB Black and its connection to "{{p|Necrozma|the Blinding One}}". She later discovered that UB Black was in fact the Blinding One, who lost its light. She also found out that in order to restore it back to its former self, the light from {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, as well as from the people of Alola and their Pokémon, had to be shared with it through prayer. After Wicke managed regain contact with the Ultra Guardians in [[SM090|the next episode]], Burnet was able to share her findings with them. She then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. After Necrozma returned to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, Burnet watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Wicke, Faba, and Kukui.

In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', Burnet was extremely excited to see the Masked Royal in person at the [[Hau'oli City]] Shopping Mall. Accompanied by Ash and [[Molayne]], she attended the meet-and-greet and became incredibly flustered in the Masked Royal's presence, unaware of the fact he was actually her husband in disguise. She finally learned that Kukui was the Masked Royal in ''[[SM141|Exhibition Unmasked!]]'' after it was announced during the [[Manalo Conference]].

During the Manalo Conference, Burnet watched the battles alongside Lusamine, Wicke, and later Faba. During Ash and Kukui's exhibition match, she sat with {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} to watch the battle. She was happy to see how much fun Kukui had battling.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Burnet bade farewell to Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie, and Ash as they left Alola for their respective travels. Burnet was later revealed to be pregnant.

===Character===
Professor Burnet is a well respected research scientist who specializes in [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Her intelligence and technical knowledge is impressive. While Burnet's approachable and positive attitude makes her instantly likable.

After moving in with her new husband {{an|Professor Kukui|Kukui}}, from ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' onward, Burnet became a motherly figure for the household. Burnet supported Ash during his time in [[Alola]], offering him advice like in ''[[SM097|No Syone Unturned!]]'' where she suggested Ash teach {{AP|Rowlet}} a new [[move]] to defeat [[Hau]]. She also became a motherly-figure for Ash, and supported him as a mother would, and when Ash was [[SM146|set to departure]] from [[Alola]], Burnet cried and hugged the young Trainer, saying that she, and Kukui, would always be there for him should he ever need their help.

===Pokémon===
This listing is of Burnet's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}:

|desc={{p|Munchlax}} is Professor Burnet's only known Pokémon and is often seen alongside her. It first appeared in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', alongside its Trainer on {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s TV screen, where {{al|Anna}} mentioned that Professor Burnet was the winner of the 15th annual Alola Lady award.

Following Burnet and Kukui's marriage, Munchlax has since moved in with Kukui and {{Ash}}, along with its Trainer.

Munchlax enjoys lying around and playing with the other Pokémon. It has a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]], and becomes instantly aggressively if someone takes an interest in its meal.

None of Munchlax's moves are known.}}

[[File:Professor Burnet B2W2 chapter.png|thumb|150px|left|Professor Burnet in the eleventh chapter]]
====History====
====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
Professor Burnet debuted in this chapter. She was first seen in a fantasy in [[PS541]], where she was mentioned by [[Fennel]], who said she was a great help to her research on [[Dream Mist]].

====={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Burnet moved to the [[Alola]] region and married [[Professor Kukui]]. Three months prior to the start of the chapter, Burnet found [[Lillie]] and [[Nebby|a Pokémon]] lying unconscious on a beach. In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', she was seen with Lillie at [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, where they watched a tournament being held at an [[Iki Town]] festival on the television. Burnet was excited to see the Masked Royal battle against {{adv|Sun}} in the first round, but was disappointed when he ends up losing.

Later, Burnet received several Pokémon documents from Kukui while he was at the Dimensional Research Lab. As they talked, Burnet revealed that Nebby is actually the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Cosmog}}. Burnet suggested that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui's surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it could help her begin to open up more.

Later, Burnet decided to take Lillie shopping in order to get her out of the house more. As they headed towards [[Hau'oli City]]'s boutique, Burnet accidentally triggered painful memories of Lillie's past. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out and begin clawing at the sky, creating a [[Ultra Wormhole|crack in the sky]] in the process. When Lillie eventually fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her condition out of concern. Later that day, Burnet contacted Professor Kukui, {{adv|Sun}}, {{adv|Moon}}, and their friends and told them all about what happened to Lillie. With this information, everyone speculated that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby from them. Worried that she may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Professor Kukui suggested Burnet meet up with him, Sun, and Moon at [[Ula'ula Island]].

Later, Burnet and Lillie used [[Mantine Surf]] to travel over the water to Professor Kukui's yacht as it headed off to Ula'ula. Shortly after arriving, the group was attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, which used its psychic powers to give everyone headaches and pass out. Although Sun successfully rescued Lillie, who was knocked into the water, he and Lillie ended up passing out as well and are separated from the others. Later, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and offered to give a tour of Aether Paradise.

Later, after leaving Aether Paradise, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon took Kukui's yacht to Ula'ula Island. Kukui, sensing a strange change in the atmosphere, feared that a battle may have started in the hour since the Captains' group arrived at [[Po Town]] to talk with [[Team Skull]]. With nowhere to dock the yacht, Moon told Kukui to get as close to Ula'ula as he can while she had Rowlet carry her to Po Town by flying through the air. After finding a place to dock, Burnet and Kukui met back up with Sun and Moon in Po Town. Kukui gave Sun one of the [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] that was left behind on the yacht so that Sun and Moon could feed it to {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.

Later, Burnet went off to the [[Aether House]] to meet up with Lillie. When Lillie spotted [[Gladion]] fighting off one of the [[Ultra Beasts]] that had been rampaging around Alola, she ran off to go see him. When Lillie arrived at Gladion's location, she was attacked by a {{p|Guzzlord}}. Though Burnet tried to protect Lillie, both were saved by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}}. To everyone's surprise, Lillie and Gladion revealed themselves to be siblings as well as the children of Aether Foundation President, [[Lusamine]]. Lillie explained that three months ago, she stole Nebby from Lusamine in order to prevent her from using its power to further her plans. When Lillie presented a [[Sun Flute]] she also took from Aether Paradise, Gladion decided that they should head towards the altar.

Altar of the Sunne

'''Altar of the Sunne''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|日輪の祭壇|にちりんのさいだん}}''' ''Altar of the Sun'') is a location on [[Poni Island]] in [[Alola]], located at the far end of [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

While ordinarily it is only accessible in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}, it can be accessed in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} by traveling through the [[Ultra Wormhole]] in the [[Altar of the Moone]].

During the story of Pokémon Sun, the {{player}} travels to [[Ultra Space]] from the Altar of the Sunne using {{p|Solgaleo}}'s power.

==Geography==
An entrance can be seen on the other side of the {{type|Dragon}} [[Z-Crystal]]'s pedestal from the [[Island challenge|trial]] in [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. It will lead the player to an immensely deep and vast canyon with an extremely long staircase with holes in some spots on the sides. At the top of it, there will be three staircases that get thinner and shorter progressively. At the top of the second, there will be paths leading in a circle on both sides. There are also two pedestals bearing the Sunne symbol on both sides of the third staircase, which leads to a center area with a rhombus-like shape with a large, Sunne symbol in the center. On the left and right of this are paths to stone "islands" with water surrounding them. These appear on each side of a crevice in the middle that is filled with water. The water surrounding the islands flows from a small stream that connects to two spires that lead to a giant circular door resting on a huge mass of rock, but it only opens in a certain part of the storyline.

===Ultra Wormhole===
In Pokémon Sun, after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, if the player has {{p|Solgaleo}} in the [[party]] at [[Time|night]] or {{p|Lunala}} during the day, they can open the dimensional distortion into an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and travel to an alternate world. This world experiences day when the other world is in night and vice versa, similar to Pokémon Moon. Unlike Pokémon Moon, however, this world's time is not offset by 12 hours from the other world's; rather, whenever the player enters this world, it is always the start of either the day or the night (6 AM or 6 PM), from which point time progresses normally so long as the player remains in the world. In this world, the Altar of the Sunne is also replaced by the [[Altar of the Moone]], while the [[Lake of the Moone]] is replaced by the [[Lake of the Sunne]]. All other aspects (such as [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|the Pokémon that can be found]] and the [[fashion item]]s that can be bought) remain the same as in Pokémon Sun in this world. Traveling through the Ultra Wormhole deposits the player at the Altar of the Moone, where the distortion remains open as an Ultra Wormhole (meaning the player can return at any time without needing Solgaleo or Lunala in their party).

In Pokémon Moon, the player can access the Altar of the Sunne by creating an Ultra Wormhole at the Altar of the Moone to travel there. At the Altar of the Sunne, the distortion remains open as an Ultra Wormhole and the player can return to their own world at any time (without needing Solgaleo or Lunala in their party).

In Pokémon Ultra Sun, {{p|Necrozma}}'s presence in the party will allow the player to travel to the Altar of the Moone in the reverse world from the dimensional distortion, provided it is in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]] form at night or its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]] form during the day.

==In the anime==
[[File:Altar of the Sunne anime.png|thumb|250px|Altar of the Sunne in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Altar of the Sunne debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where {{an|Lusamine}}, {{an|Faba}}, [[Wicke]], and [[Professor Burnet]] investigated reported sightings of the [[Ultra Beast]]s, only to find nothing.

The altar made further appearances from ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'' to ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}} traveled there in order to get help from Alola's [[Legendary Pokémon]] in order to save Lusamine from [[Ultra Space]], being followed and soon joined up by {{Ash}}, {{an|Professor Kukui}}, and the rest of {{ashcl|Lillie's classmates}}. At the altar, the group was surprised by the sudden appearance of the four {{an|guardian deities}} of Alola, who showed them the birth of {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Solgaleo|Nebby}}, which Ash had [[SM044|previously]] witnessed in a dream. The guardians then proceeded hold a ritual for Nebby, allowing it to evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}. After Ash had gotten his [[Z-Ring]] upgraded into a [[Z-Power Ring]] by the guardian deities, he and Nebby were able to use {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} to open up an [[Ultra Wormhole]] for Ash, his classmates, and Gladion to travel through into Ultra Space. After rescuing Lusamine, the group returned back to the altar through another wormhole.

The altar appeared in a flashback in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', where it was revealed that Nebby had left after the group's return back to their own {{pkmn|world}}, having returned to living in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.

The altar reappeared in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where the [[Ultra Guardians]] met up with Lusamine, Faba, Wicke, and Professor Burnet where they were soon joined by Gladion. Once there, Lusamine led the Ultra Guardians to ruins the had been recently discovered inside the altar, where they saw ancient murals depicting "{{p|Necrozma|the Blinding One}}". When they returned from the ruins, they witnessed a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerging from an Ultra Wormhole, being chased by a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}}.

Hi! I'm TheICTLiker4 (Japanese: '''ボイタさん''' ''Mr. Boita''), and I'm a fan of Pokémon. I began being interested as [[Pokémon GO]] was finally released in 2016. Then, I started playing in the summer and my first Pokémon was a {{p|Charmander}}. I stopped playing because I didn't understand the tedious Pokémon Trainer Club login process. But after nearly 2 years or so, I have started again, with a completely new account. My first Pokémon was a {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

I'm also a {{wp|Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle}} user on the English Wikipedia.

== Why I like Pokémon ==
In 2017 or so, one of my boyfriends at school had a phone and shown me, how to get and play {{g|FireRed}} on an emulator, and I quickly started downloading more emulators and games. I've played games in all 8 [[generation]]s. I'm also planning to also play {{g|Let's Go Pikachu}}. But on my 13th birthday, I received a [[Nintendo 2DS]] and a cartridge of {{g|Sun}}. However, before Christmas Eve 2019, I decided to play {{g|Sword}}. I no longer have the 2DS, but I have a [[Nintendo Switch Lite]]. I play both {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

My work mainly regards glitches and fixing obsolete links. I am mostly settled on the {{bp|Project GlitchDex}}. I edit mostly on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

I started editing Bulbapedia in 2018, but I even was visiting this site in 2017 for information. 

==Useful tips for wiki editing==
* Do you want to view names of system messages instead of system messages themselves?
** If the URL has "<code>index.php</code>" after the slash character (<code>/</code>), append "<code>&uselang=qqx</code>".
** Otherwise, append "<code>?uselang=qqx</code>".

== My Shinies ==
Except the [[Red Gyarados]], which anyone can have.

==Challenge: Catch all 707 Pokémon!==
The challenge “Catch all 707 Pokémon!” (Japanese: 「すべてのポケモンを７０７匹捕まえる！」''Subete-no Pokémon-o nanahyaku nanahiki tsukamaeru!'') was created by me. I had read that it's possible to get every single non-[[Mythical Pokémon]] (except {{p|Deoxys}}) introduced in the first 6 Generations in Generation VI games without having to transfer from previous generations. I then started the challenge!

;Rules
* Must catch all Pokémon, except Mythical Pokémon.
* No glitches allowed.

'''WARNING:''' I'm also tracking my progress in a notepad, so the Pokémon are not put in their [[National Pokédex]] order, but in the order I've written in the notepad.

'''Clefairy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピッピ''' ''Pippi'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cleffa}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Clefable}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Clefairy floating.png|thumb|200px|left|Clefairy floating]]
Clefairy is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a chubby, vaguely star-shaped body. A small, pointed tooth protrudes from the upper left corner of its mouth. It has wrinkles beside its black, oval eyes, a single dark pink oval marking on each cheek, and large, pointed ears with brown tips. A tuft of fur curls over its forehead, much like its large, upward-curling tail. Each stocky arm has two small claws and a thumb on each hand and both feet have a single toenail. There is a pair of tiny, butterfly-shaped wings on its back. Though incapable of flight, Clefairy's wings can store moonlight and allow it to float.

Clefairy is very shy and rarely shows itself to humans. On the rare occasions it does come down from its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain home}}, it can be seen dancing under the light of the full moon. The area surrounding their dance in enveloped in a magnetic field. Once the sun starts to rise, it returns home where it sleeps nestled with other Clefairy. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefairy is actually an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].
{{left clear}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Lusamine Clefairy.png|thumb|250px|Clefairy in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Clefairy|Clefairy (anime)}}=====
Multiple Clefairy were stealing things from a small [[Kanto]] town to repair their spaceship in ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. {{an|Jigglypuff}} defeated the Clefairy leader for stealing its microphone marker. The Clefairy reappeared in ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]'' when their spacecraft crashed in the [[Johto]] [[region]].

=====[[Lusamine's Clefairy]]=====
{{an|Lusamine}}'s Clefairy appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where she evolved into a Clefable. She reappeared during flashbacks in ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', where she was seen playing with {{an|Lillie}}. She reappeared again in another flashback in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''.

=====Other=====

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefairy was ''Aria''. In the Russian dub of the anime, this Pokémon was actually called that (original series).
* Clefairy and its {{p|Clefable|evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
* Clefairy was originally going to be the official mascot of Pokémon, but {{p|Pikachu}} was used instead due to the popularity of the {{pkmn|anime}} and Pikachu's familiarity with fans.<ref>''[[Pikachu's Global Adventure]]: the Rise and Fall of Pokémon''. By Joseph Jay Tobin. Page 63.</ref><ref>Lucard, Alex. "Beckett's Ultimate Guide to Pikachu!" ''Beckett Pokémon Unofficial Collector'' July-Aug. 2010: 17.</ref>
** In the original [[EP001|pilot episode]] of the anime, Clefairy was intended to be {{Ash}}'s starting Pokémon. Due to a last minute change, the role went to {{AP|Pikachu}}. This would have made the anime closer to the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, which would later be referenced in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', where its main character, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, along with his {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} starred in a film that Ash and Gary were watching when they were younger.
* The [[Poké Doll]] is an item based on Clefairy.
* Clefairy is the first {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Clefairy was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref>https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/991699303851745280</ref>

===Origin===
Clefairy seems to be based on a {{wp|fairy}}, being a magical, somewhat humanoid, winged creature, thus lending credit to its name.

====Name origin====
Clefairy is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (French for [musical] key) and ''{{wp|fairy}}''.

Pippi may be a shortening and repetition of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Clefairy}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Cleffa}}.

==Biology==
Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile (one kilometer) away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}} of which it is protective. Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefable is actually an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
[[File:Lusamine Clefable.png|thumb|250px|Clefable in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

=====Other=====
Multiple Clefable debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After the large group of {{p|Clefairy}} blasted {{TRT}} away with {{m|Metronome}}, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of them, causing them to evolve.

Multiple Clefable appeared for another Mt. Moon Festival in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' along with a group of Clefairy, where they were trying to find a missing {{p|Cleffa}}. They later helped send Team Rocket blasting off.

===In Pokémon Origins===
A Clefable appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' as one of the Pokémon seen in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction.

A Clefable appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]''.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Lusamine's Clefable}}
[[File:Clefy.png|thumb|200px|Clefable in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{adv|Green}} had a Clefairy [[nickname]]d Clefy, which first appeared in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''. He later evolved into Clefable in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' when {{adv|Red}} used his [[Moon Stone]] on him. Although he was used only once for distraction against [[Sabrina]] prior to evolving, his increased power allowed him to stall {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}} for a short time with his {{m|Metronome}}. He has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lorelei]]. During the battle, he {{m|minimize}}d himself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. He has seen no major appearances since, despite always being listed as a team member.

A Clefable appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefable was ''Ariala''. The {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} used this name during the [[original series]].
* Clefable and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Clefable seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s, being a magical, humanoid, playful creature with wings.

====Name origin====
Clefable is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical key) and ''{{wp|fable}}''. It may also be derived from ''able'', considering its sharp hearing and ability to lightly skip on water.

Pixy is a corruption of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Darumaka''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダルマッカ''' ''Darumakka'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Darmanitan}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darumaka has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Darmanitan when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Darumaka sleeping.png|thumb|left|240px|Darumaka asleep]]
Darumaka is a round, red Pokémon with an orange face and yellow curly eyebrows. It has three yellow ovals on its abdomen and a curvy yellow line on its back. Its paws are orange and have three digits each. It has very warm droppings, which ancient people put in their clothes to keep themselves warm.

When the flame inside its body burns, Darumaka is very active. It cannot calm down in this state, and thus becomes uncontrollable. As the flame shrinks, it falls asleep. It can tuck in its arms and legs when it rests; during that time, it slightly sways. While it is sleeping, it cannot be tipped over no matter how much it is pushed or pulled, like a {{wp|Tumbler toy|tumbler doll}}, which it resembles in this state. It prefers to live in a desert environment.

Galarian Darumaka has a thicker coat than normal Darumaka, several turquoise ice crystals as its eyebrows and on its chest, and has blue hands and face with white snowy fur. Unlike its normal form, Galarian Darumaka has a timid frown instead of a mischievous smile.

Seismic shift in the [[Galar]] region long ago caused the warm climate to cool, and Darumaka in this region have adapted to this cooling. The fire that burned within their bodies went out, leaving an organ that produces cold air instead. The colder Darumaka gets, the more energetic it becomes. They can focus their internal energy to breathe out cold air in the form of snow, which they use to make snowballs for ammo in playful snowball fights with each other<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darumaka/</ref>. Galarian Darumaka enjoys eating [[Berry|Berries]] produced by {{p|Snover}}. This leads it to prey on Snover often being driven off by {{p|Abomasnow}}.

==Trivia==
* Darumaka has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Darumaka seems to be based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}. When it is resting, it resembles the {{wp|Roly-poly toy|type of Daruma doll that does not tip over}}. Its {{t|Fire}} type may be based upon the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darumaka seems to be based on a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}} and a {{wp|monkey}}.

====Name origin====
Darumaka and Darumakka seem to be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Daruma}}'' and 真赤 ''makka'' (crimson) or a corruption of ''{{wp|macaque}}''.

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Clefairy}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Cleffa}}.

==Biology==
Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile (one kilometer) away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}} of which it is protective. Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefable is actually an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
[[File:Lusamine Clefable.png|thumb|250px|Clefable in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

=====Other=====
Multiple Clefable debuted in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. After the large group of {{p|Clefairy}} blasted {{TRT}} away with {{m|Metronome}}, particles of the giant Moon Stone landed on some of them, causing them to evolve.

Multiple Clefable appeared for another Mt. Moon Festival in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'' along with a group of Clefairy, where they were trying to find a missing {{p|Cleffa}}. They later helped send Team Rocket blasting off.

===In Pokémon Origins===
A Clefable appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' as one of the Pokémon seen in [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction.

A Clefable appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]''.

==In the manga==

{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}, {{an|Professor Oak}}, and [[Bill]] befriended a group of {{p|Clefairy}} living on [[Mt. Moon]] in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]''. They witnessed an evolution ceremony where many of the Clefairy in the group evolved into Clefable using a [[Moon Stone]] and then left to explore the world.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Lusamine's Clefable}}
[[File:Clefy.png|thumb|200px|Clefable in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{adv|Green}} had a Clefairy [[nickname]]d Clefy, which first appeared in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''. He later evolved into Clefable in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' when {{adv|Red}} used his [[Moon Stone]] on him. Although he was used only once for distraction against [[Sabrina]] prior to evolving, his increased power allowed him to stall {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}} for a short time with his {{m|Metronome}}. He has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lorelei]]. During the battle, he {{m|minimize}}d himself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. He has seen no major appearances since, despite always being listed as a team member.

A Clefable appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefable was ''Ariala''. The {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} used this name during the [[original series]].
* Clefable and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.

===Origin===
Clefable seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s, being a magical, humanoid, playful creature with wings.

====Name origin====
Clefable is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical key) and ''{{wp|fable}}''. It may also be derived from ''able'', considering its sharp hearing and ability to lightly skip on water.

Pixy is a corruption of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

The '''eighth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第八世代|だいはちせだい}}}}''' ''eighth generation'') of Pokémon games is the eighth installment of the Pokémon video game series. The eighth generation began with {{g|Sword and Shield}} and then continued with the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] DLC packs. Unlike previous generations, game updates and DLC were used to introduce new content instead of additional games set in the same region. The games of the eighth generation are presented on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

==History==
The eighth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sword and Shield}} on February 27, 2019. These games were released worldwide on November 15, 2019.

Since February 11, 2020, Sword and Shield players are able to store their Pokémon and trade with other players in the cloud-based application, [[Pokémon HOME]], released on Nintendo Switch, {{wp|iOS}}, and {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}.

Regarding connectivity with previous generations, users of Pokémon HOME can carry forward their Pokémon from [[Pokémon Bank]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and (in the future) {{pkmn|GO}} to the application. Through the combined use Pokémon Bank, [[Poké Transporter]], Pokémon HOME, and other [[Template:Inter-gen transfer|inter-generational transfer]] methods, allows players to transfer forward Pokémon from as early as {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} to as late as [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], as well as the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games.


==Advances in gameplay==
* The addition of {{cat|Generation VIII Pokémon|85 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 894.
* The addition of {{cat|Generation VIII moves|80 new moves}}, bringing the total to 781.

* Ten new [[Gym]]s, four of which have different type specialties depending on which version the {{player}} has.
* A new battle mechanic, [[Dynamax]], which increases the size of a Pokémon and allows them to use [[Max Move]]s for three turns. [[Gigantamax]] expands on this mechanic by also changing a Pokémon's form and turning moves of a certain type into [[G-Max Move]]s.
* The introduction of {{wp|downloadable content}} in the form of the {{pkmn|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}.

===Alterations from Generation VII===
* Pokémon that are not present in a game's current patch cannot be transferred into it.
* Many [[move]]s from earlier games have been [[Pokémon Sword and Shield#Unusable moves|deprecated]], and cannot be used or learned in Sword and Shield.
* The abandonment of the following elements:
** The [[Moss Rock]], [[Ice Rock]], and [[special magnetic field]].
** [[Trial Captain]]s, [[Totem Pokémon]], and [[Island Kahuna]]s.
** [[Battle Royal]] and [[SOS Battle]].
** [[Mega Evolution]] and [[Z-Move]]s.
* The [[island challenge]] has been replaced by the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. After signing into it, the player can use the replacement for [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Charizard}} Glide, [[Flying Taxi]], which is implemented to the [[Town Map]], which became a part of the [[menu]].
* Certain Pokémon can evolve from a preexisting [[evolutionary stone]] which could not do so before, including evolutions into {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, {{p|Darmanitan}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}.

'''Wonder Guard''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなまもり''' ''Mysterious Protection'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Shedinja}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Wonder Guard makes the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging moves that are not [[super effective]].

It does not prevent {{status|confusion}} damage. It does not affect [[status move]]s, such as {{m|Tail Whip}} or {{m|Poison Powder}}. It does not prevent any indirect damage, such as from {{status|burn}}, [[weather]], [[recoil]], and {{FB|List of moves that cause|entry hazards}}.

Wonder Guard prevents damage from {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}, as long as they are not a type that is super effective against the Pokémon with this Ability. For example, Shedinja with Wonder Guard is immune to {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Psywave}}, but not {{m|Night Shade}}.

Wonder Guard does not affect {{m|Struggle}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], Wonder Guard does not affect {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, or {{m|Doom Desire}}. In [[Generation IV]] only, {{m|Fire Fang}} is able to hit through Wonder Guard, even if the target does not have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} moves, due to {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Fire Fang Wonder Guard glitch|a presumed glitch}}.

{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has the Ability Wonder Guard. {{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Wonder Guard. Wonder Guard cannot be copied by {{a|Power of Alchemy}} or {{a|Receiver}}. Wonder Guard can be bypassed by a Pokémon with {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Teravolt}}, or {{a|Turboblaze}}. It can also be bypassed by the moves {{m|Moongeist Beam}} and {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}. {{a|Wandering Spirit}} will not swap Abilities with Wonder Guard either.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
* In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Shedinja}} was mentioned to have Wonder Guard as its Ability.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s Shedinja is revealed to have Wonder Guard as its Ability.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was popular to hack this Ability onto the {{2t|Dark|Ghost}}-type {{p|Spiritomb}} ("{{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|Wondertomb/Wondereye|Wondertomb}}") and {{p|Sableye}} ("Wondereye"), as their complete lack of weaknesses made them impervious to practically all direct damage. From Generation VI onward, this type combination is now weak to the {{t|Fairy}} type, so it's no longer used.
** This immunity was showcased with the [[Pokéstar Studios]] [[Pokéstar Studios opponents|opponent]] {{DL|Pokéstar Studios opponents|Majin}}, requiring the player to deal indirect damage or change Majin's Ability or type to defeat it.
* If a pure {{type|Electric}} or a {{t|Poison}}/{{type|Dark}} Pokémon has Wonder Guard (e.g. Shedinja using {{m|Reflect Type}} or {{m|Entrainment}} via {{m|Mimic}} on a pure Electric-type or a Poison/Dark-type Pokémon) and holds an [[Air Balloon]], it becomes immune to all 18 types.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is considered a special evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20, as long as there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} in the player's bag. An extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
Shedinja is a Pokémon based on a cicada's shed exoskeleton. Most of its body is light brown, but the abdomen is gray. It has four protrusions on its underside instead of legs; the top pair is brown, while the lower is gray. There are round protrusions on the side of its head with narrow slits for eyes. Two lines encircle its abdomen and a white halo floats above its head. On its back is a pair of tattered wings divided into three wingtips. A hole between its wings reveals that its body is completely hollow and dark, as it possesses no internal organs.

It is said that looking into this empty space will steal one's spirit. Its shell is very hard, which gives it strong defense but renders it incapable of movement. It does not breathe and floats without moving its wings. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Hansen Shedinja.png|thumb|250px|Shedinja in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Shedinja debuted in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. It was his main battling Pokémon. It reappeared in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'', where it was eventually defeated by [[Misty's Gyarados]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Shedinja made cameos in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]'' and ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', where it was seen competing in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Another Shedinja also appeared in a cameo in a visualization in the former episode.

A Coordinator's Shedinja appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Shedinja appeared in ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', where it was a participant in the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]]. It was in a team also consisting of {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Ninjask}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Amber Shedinja Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Shedinja in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Shedinja first appeared in ''[[PS246|Can I Ninjask You a Question?]]'', when [[Aqua Admin Amber]], having been deprived of his Pokémon after being abandoned by [[Archie]], borrowed a Nincada from his comrade [[Shelly]], which then immediately evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}, putting [[Wattson]] in quite a pinch with the incredible speed it gained by the minute. Although the old Gym Leader eventually managed to defeat it, a Shedinja formed from the shell Ninjask shed and attacked him from behind, sending him sinking into the ocean.

In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} used Shedinja to exploit its {{a|Wonder Guard}} [[Ability]], as well as the fact that it has one base HP, requiring no items to resuscitate itself.

In ''[[PS311|A Dust-Up With Dusclops]]'', a Shedinja was used by {{adv|Emerald}} during his [[Battle Pyramid]] challenge.

A student's Shedinja appeared in ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Shedinja appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. In the Spirit Battle, Shedinja, depicted as a yellow Mr. Game & Watch, has only 1 HP like in the core series games, but Wonder Guard is depicted as giving Shedinja complete invincibility for 90% of the match, as well as reflecting all projectiles. However, the invincibility is disabled periodically for about a second, allowing the player to KO Shedinja with just one hit.

For unknown reasons, Shedinja can't be used in Trainer Battles in Pokémon Go.

''Note: The Poké Ball has to be a {{i|Poké Ball|regular Poké Ball}}. 
''Note: In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Shedinja will not be mentioned when evolving Nincada, but will subsequently appear in {{p|Chimecho}}'s Assembly.''

==Trivia==
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a basic {{i|Poké Ball}} (a requirement for evolution) is removed from the [[Bag]] upon evolution to produce a Shedinja. In [[Generation III]], Shedinja instead copied the ball Nincada was in; this is the only legitimate way to get a Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball until [[Generation VIII]], where Shedinja can be caught in Max Raid Battles.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, is tied with {{p|Duskull}} and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all Ghost-type Pokémon and is also tied with {{p|Dreepy}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Shedinja is the only evolved Pokémon that has a lower base stat total than its {{p|Nincada|pre-evolved form}}.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon (other than [[baby Pokémon]]) to have a different [[Egg Group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg3|Mineral}} while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg3|Bug}}. (The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}.) However, because it {{egg|Gender unknown|has no gender}}, it cannot breed with Pokémon other than {{p|Ditto}}.
* Shedinja inherits the same game of origin, [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number and Secret ID number]], and met location as the Nincada that shed it. It also inherits the [[Pokérus]] if the Nincada had it. Among other things, due to keeping the same game of origin, personality value, and Trainer and Secret ID numbers, Shedinja will be Shiny if and only if the Nincada was {{Shiny}}.
* The Shedinja shed from a Nincada has no [[nickname]], and the player is not given an opportunity to nickname it. The only way to give Shedinja a nickname is to take it to a [[Name Rater]].
* Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability renders it immune to 13 of 18 attack types, the most of any Pokémon; four of these immunities (to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fairy}}) are entirely unique to Shedinja. This also gives it a few further distinctions:
** Even if it is affected by {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, Shedinja is still immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}} attacks.
** Shedinja is immune to all [[one-hit knockout move]]s, unless a Pokémon with {{a|Aerilate}} uses {{m|Guillotine}} or {{m|Horn Drill}}.
** Shedinja is the only Pokémon immune to {{t|Ground}} attacks during {{m|Gravity}}, as well as {{m|Thousand Arrows}}.
** If {{m|Soak}} is used to make Shedinja {{type|Water}}, it will be immune to attacks of 16 of the 18 types.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but can only simultaneously have multiple of them if they are learned at the same level. From Generation V onward, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution.
* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn Egg Moves (as a Nincada). {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} have [[Egg Move]]s programmed into their data in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but there is no way for them to learn these moves.
* Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] to be able to change its name.
* In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], wild Shedinja will spawn on any tile where a wild Nincada was defeated after several turns have passed. They move once every two turns and do not attack. Additionally, other wild Pokémon will try to attack the wild Shedinja if they are nearby, allowing them to evolve without defeating the player or their allies if they succeed in causing it to faint.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 236.
* Shedinja's barrier in Max Raid Battles requires the most hits to break, with 8. However because it still faints from one hit, and there is no way to hit it with {{m|False Swipe}}, breaking the barrier is impossible.

===1 HP trivia===
Shedinja has the lowest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all Pokémon, with only 1. As such, it has many unique characteristics:

* Shedinja is the only Pokémon to have a stat not calculated by the [[Statistic#In Generation III onward|standard formula]]; if it were, Shedinja would have at least 11 HP even at [[level]] 1.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that cannot gain any additional HP {{EV}}s.
** In [[Generation VI]], {{EV}}s in HP can be earned from [[Super Training]], though they have no effect for Shedinja.
* Having only 1 HP, Shedinja's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats normally have no practical purpose in battle. However, if Shedinja receives a {{m|substitute}} through Baton Pass, its Defense and Special Defense are factored into damage the substitute takes. Shedinja's Defense and Special Defense stats also become relevant if a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on it or if Shedinja uses {{m|Power Trick}} (via {{m|Mimic}}), or if an opponent has {{a|Download}}.
* From [[Generation IV]] onward, Shedinja is the only Pokémon that can knock itself out from full health with the recoil damage from {{m|Struggle}}.
* Outside of battle, Shedinja immediately recovers from {{status|poison}} after four steps in [[Generation IV]]; in [[Generation III]], it will immediately faint after four steps.
* Despite it being able to learn {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Bide}}, and {{m|Rest}}, they will always fail; consequently, the only way Shedinja can have a substitute is via {{m|Baton Pass}}.
* Although Shedinja can learn {{m|Sandstorm}}, it cannot normally use the move without fainting as a result of damage from the {{weather|sandstorm}}. Use of [[Safety Goggles]] or a [[Utility Umbrella]] allows this to be circumvented.
* If Shedinja uses {{m|Pain Split}} (via Mimic), it will cut the target's HP in half, similarly to {{m|Super Fang}}.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has its HP restored to maximum when leveled up with a [[Rare Candy]] (prior to [[Generation VI]]) or revived with a [[Revive]].
* From [[Generation V]] onward, if a Shedinja has {{a|Sturdy}}, it can survive any damaging move or {{status|confusion}} damage.
* If a Shedinja is holding a [[Focus Sash]], it can survive any single damaging hit (including {{status|confusion}} damage).
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that can never recover HP using an {{cat|HP-draining moves|HP-draining move}}.
* Although Shedinja can eat [[Dynamax Candy]], its HP will remain at 1 regardless when it [[Dynamax]]es. This makes it the only Pokémon that doesn't get an HP boost when it Dynamaxes.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nincada, Ninjask and Shedinja}}
Shedinja is based on the {{wp|Exuviae|shed husk}} that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults. Concerning its species' ninja theme, it also appears to be a reference to the fabled ninjutsu technique 空蝉 ''utsusemi'', where a ninja uses a dummy or replica of itself to evade and escape from threats, and where its namesake also alludes to the cast off shed husk of a cicada. It may also be based on a guardian angel, due to the halo-like object floating above its head. Its {{a|Wonder Guard}} [[Ability]] probably alludes to this.

====Name origin====
Shedinja is a combination of ''shed'' (to cast off skin or exoskeleton) and ''{{wp|ninja}}''.

Nukenin is a pun on 抜け忍 ''nukenin'', a term for ninja who has abandoned their clan and lord. It also combines 抜け殻 ''nukegara'' (casting off skin) and ''ninja''.

'''Duraludon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュラルドン''' ''Duraludon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. It has a [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Biology==
Duraludon has a bipedal stance with large feet, a chunky tail, and a head integrated to its neck. It has zigzag patterns running down its body, gray bands around its arms, and has two black slits on its lower chest. Its right hand has four triangular indents, while its left has five. Duraludon also has a red segment on its head and two slits on its head. Its body is mainly light gray and dark blue. Duraludon has yellow eyes with green pupils, and it appears to be permanently scowling.

Gigantamax Duraludon is even bigger and gains metal strips on its feet resembling toes. It has a massive glass plate on its abdomen, and its chest has glass panels that resemble windows. It also gains a horn-like protrusion on its head and its uniquely shaped hands are different. It has three red clouds surrounding the neck.

Duraludon is a dinosaur-like Pokémon made of strong, but surprisingly light metal. Weighing only 88 lbs, it can move very fast. However, its body rusts easily to corrosion, so it lives in caves and mountain areas to avoid the rain. Due to the arms having two different shapes, it digs onto the surface for food. Duraludon has a rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountain areas in [[Galar]]<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/</ref>. In its Gigantamax state, its body glows from a provision of energy. The cells in its body are more durable than any known {{type|Steel}} and it is resistant to earthquakes thanks to the body structure.

Gigantamax Duraludon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Depletion}}.

==Trivia==
* Duraludon is the only Pokémon that is in the {{egg|Dragon}} and {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** Duraludon is also the only Pokémon that has both the {{a|Heavy Metal|Heavy}} and {{a|Light Metal}} {{Abilities}} without them being its [[Hidden Ability]].
* Duraludon, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}} and {{p|Toxtricity}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Duraludon may be based on {{wp|The Shard}}, the tallest building in the United Kingdom. Based on its name, the metal that covers its body is presumably {{wp|duralumin}}, an aluminum-copper alloy that is strong and light, but not very resistant to corrosion. Its rivalry with {{p|Tyranitar}} is likely a reference to the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre of films. Its overall body shape resembles a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}.

====Name origin====
Duraludon may be a combination of ''duralumin'' and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for ''tooth'').

By clawing at its protrusion located on its chest, both forms of Toxtricity can generate electricity. The sound it makes resembles that of an electric string instrument; a standard guitar for Amped Form, and a bass guitar for Low Key Form.

Gigantamax Toxtricity's main weapon is the excessive energy it generates while Gigantamaxing. It can create more electricity than a thundercloud. It can also store up to one million liters of poison. Due to the poison that penetrated its brain, Toxtricity lost control of itself. It rampages across the land by contaminating it with toxic sweat which gushes and pours down like acid rain. Gigantamax Toxtricity can create a gigantic mass of electricity shaped like a guitar from the electricity it stores. This mass is powerful enough to create a giant huge crater.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-toxtricity/</ref>

Toxtricity is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Overdrive}} and exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Stun Shock}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxtricity and its {{p|Toxel|pre-evolution}}.
* Toxtricity is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 502.
* Toxtricity, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Visually, Toxtricity resembles {{wp|lizard}}s, especially the ones from the {{wp|Agama (lizard)|Agama}} genus, like the {{wp|Mwanza flat-headed rock agama}} and the {{wp|Agama planiceps|Namib rock agama}}. Like Toxtricity, this genus is known for displaying a variety of bright colors and possessing spikes on the region of the ear. They also fight using their tails as whips.

It also appears to take inspiration from {{wp|punk rock}} {{wp|guitarist}}s. Its Amped and Low Key forms resemble {{wp|electric guitar}}s and {{wp|bass guitar}}s, with the number of chest protrusions equaling the number of strings on each guitar (six and four, respectively) and, according to official bios, making a sound similar to that of the respective instrument when strummed by Toxtricity.<ref name="Amped"/><ref name="LowKey"/> Gigantamax Toxtricity's habit of generating a guitar-shaped spark to attack may be also a reference to an act performed by various artists, in which they smash their guitars onstage after a popular song.

====Name origin====
Toxtricity may be a combination of ''toxic'' and ''electricity''. It may also be derived from ''toxicity''.

Strinder may be a combination of ''strings'' (of a stringed instrument) and ''salamander''.

'''Minior''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メテノ''' ''Meteno'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Minior can change {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|forms}} during battle, depending on its [[Ability]] and current {{stat|Hit Points|HP}}.

==Biology==
Minior is a spherical Pokémon with two forms: one form with a rocky outer coating and the other with its core exposed. When it sheds its rocky coating, its core form is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Rock}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Both of its forms tie with {{p|Carbink}} and {{p|Dwebble}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Rock}}.

In its shielded form, Minior resembles a modestly sized rock. Its rocky exterior is formed by four large plates separated by two large cracks. The cracks encircle its body both horizontally and vertically. Five white spikes extend just above the rocky surface, giving it a star-shape. Two large, black spots on its front resemble eyes, and there is a third spot in the center of its back. Rings of dark brown triangles surround the holes its spikes protrude from and the spot on its back, pointing outward. One of the triangles surrounding the spot on its back is replaced with a small, brown dot. The eyespots have a half-ring of triangles resembling eyelashes. One eye has a small, brown dot in the corner. Even while apparently at rest, Minior tends to spin slowly in place.

In its core form, Minior loses its rocky shell and its body is exposed. The core is a bright, pastel color. Depending on the color of debris and food it absorbed and ate while in the stratosphere, Minior's core can be Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, or Violet. A handful of darker triangles are also visible on its body in random places. Minior's eyes and mouth are formed from energy that floats in front of its body like a two-dimensional mask. The eyes are two large swirls and the mouth a smaller line. Its face tends to stay level regardless of how Minior spins the rest of its body.

Minior forms in the {{wp|stratosphere}} from an aggregation of mutated nanoparticles, where it absorbs particulate matter from which it builds its core and shell. Eventually, this process makes it too heavy and it falls towards the surface of the planet. When its shell breaks from landing, Minior becomes lighter and capable of attacking quickly. However, it cannot survive for long with its core exposed, and will eventually die if not placed inside a [[Poké Ball]] quickly enough. The cute, pastel coloring of Minior's core form often inspires designers to use it as a motif for clothing and accessories.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/minior/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Minior]</ref> While in the ozone layer, it serves as food to stronger Pokémon. Places where Minior fall are few, [[Alola]] being one of them.

===Major appearances===
Multiple Minior debuted in ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', appearing in all of their forms. [[Ash's Poipole]] befriended a Minior with an Orange Core, but was later forced to say goodbye to it. All of the Minior reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Minior was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].
* Meteor Form Minior, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.
* Minior is the only Pokémon whose forms all share the exact same Shiny appearance.
* Minior is tied with {{p|Alcremie}} as being under the most Pokédex [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] groupings, with a total of 6.
* Minior is the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head]].

===Origin===
Minior is likely based on a {{wp|meteor}}, which are colloquially known as "falling stars" or "{{wp|Shooting Star|shooting stars}}". The colors of its core form roughly correspond with those of a classic {{wp|rainbow}}, or {{wp|ROYGBIV}}. Additionally, Minior's Core Form design may take inspiration from the Japanese star-shaped candy ''{{wp|konpeitō}}'', while its Meteor Form could be a reference to {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which dispenses toys in capsules - the toy it gives is random each time, and the capsule must be opened to see it, just as Minior must break its outer shell to reveal which colour it is.

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}. With the {{a|Battle Bond}} Ability, it can {{DL|Bond Phenomenon|transform}} into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja'''. Greninja with the Ability Battle Bond cannot [[Pokémon breeding|breed]].

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja moves with the speed and grace of a ninja. It uses swift movements to confuse its enemies while it slices them up with throwing stars made of compressed water. These throwing stars are sharp enough to split metal. In the past, {{m|Water Shuriken}} and {{m|Mat Block}} were its [[signature move]]s.

Through a transformation called [[Bond Phenomenon]], [[Ash's Greninja]] in the anime and any Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} in [[Generation VII]] can change into an [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Greninja|alternate form]] called Ash-Greninja. In this form, Greninja's skin turns a lighter shade of blue, while its face gains red stripes and its cheeks and side fins turn black, changing shape to resemble {{Ash}}'s hair. Its legs are stronger in this form, and it gains the ability to form large Water Shurikens on its back.

==Trivia==
* Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
** Ash-Greninja has the highest base Speed stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Greninja is the only [[starter Pokémon]] that has more than two possible {{Abilities}}, and the only Pokémon with an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Ability.
* Ash-Greninja has the highest base stat total of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* Greninja, Ash-Greninja, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* During the Pokémon of the Year event held by the [[Pokémon Company International]] and Google from February 2019 to February 2020, Greninja won 1st place with a number of 140,559 votes. It beat out {{p|Lucario}} in 2nd place with 102,259 votes and {{p|Mimikyu}} in 3rd place with 99,077 votes.

===Origin===
Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog, and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story "The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}" (児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari'') about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-evolutions may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Thief (character class)|thief}} or rogue class as they often rely on speed and stealth and are often seen as nimble or ranged combatants while tending to focus more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in the {{series|XY}}.

====Name origin====
Greninja is a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga is a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''. It may also derive from 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight), in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing, or a combination of both.

==Trivia==
* Gurdurr is similar to {{p|Machoke}}; both are Fighting-type Pokémon with a base stat total of 405 whose final evolution is triggered by [[trade|trading]].
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Gurdurr and its evolved form, {{p|Conkeldurr}}, are the only Pokémon that share a max link of 100% with five different [[Warrior]]s, which is the highest amount found in the game.
* Gurdurr, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
{{p|Timburr}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry supports that it and its evolved forms are based on {{wp|construction workers}}. Due to its clown nose, clown hair-like structure on its head, and buff body, Gurdurr may have also been based on a {{wp|muscleman}} {{wp|carny}} from a {{wp|Sideshow|carnival sideshow}}. A red nose is also often used commonly in anime for old gruff men.

====Name origin====
Gurdurr may be a corruption of ''{{wp|girder}}'', an iron or steel beam.

Dotekkotsu is derived from 鉄骨 ''tekkotsu'' (steel frame).

'''Latias''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラティアス''' ''Latias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Latias''' using the [[Latiasite]].

It is a member of the [[eon duo]] of [[Hoenn]] along with {{p|Latios}}.

==Biology==
Latias is a Pokémon with a bird-like body stylized after a plane. Its long neck stretches forward from its squat body. It has no legs, usually floating instead. The rear half of its body is largely red and the upper half white, with jet-plane wings high on its rear and fins on the bottom near its tail. A blue triangle marks the center of its chest, while a red mask partially covers its face. Ear-like fins sit on top of its head and its eyes are yellow. It has short, three-fingered arms with a red covering on the outer side of the lower arms. Latias is a female only species, with {{p|Latios}} being its male counterpart.

As Mega Latias, the red parts of its body change to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead of its chest.

Latias ruffles its feathers and cries loudly when there is hostility toward it. Its glass-like, downy feathers can enfold its body and refract light, which allows it to become invisible or alter its appearance. It can also use its down to use its [[signature move]], {{m|Mist Ball}}. It is highly intelligent and can understand human speech. It is capable of using telepathy to communicate with others. In the [[M05|fifth movie]], Latias had the ability "Sight Sharing", which allowed Latias and people around it to see exactly what Latios was seeing. It normally does not make contact with humans or other Pokémon, and disappears when an enemy is nearby. It forms herds with several members, and is usually found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water.}}

Latias appears with her counterpart, Latios.

''"Eon Pokémon. There are only female Latias and only male Latios. If they sense the presence of a human or an enemy, they will generally use the light-bending trait of their down coats to make themselves invisible. They use telepathy to speak with companions. They travel in herds, but even so, are rarely seen. They're a combination of Dragon- and Psychic-types."''

'''PAL''': ''Latias and Latios are Eon Pokémon. Both are Dragon- and Psychic-types. The red Latias is female, while the blue Latios is male.

In Pokémon Emerald, the roaming Pokémon is chosen in a sequence immediately after the credits where, after hearing a [[television]] report, the player is asked the color of the Pokémon in it. If red is selected, Latias roams Hoenn and Latios is found at the island. If blue is selected, Latias is found at the island and Latios roams Hoenn.

==Trivia==
* Latias shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Latios}}. They are both known as the Eon Pokémon.
[[Image:Latias Blaziken.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Pre-alpha sketch of the unused Pokémon]]
* A pre-alpha sketch depicts an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] or alternative form of Latias with the traits of both a Latias and a {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Latias, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Latias appears to be a cross between a {{wp|Jet aircraft|jet plane}} and a {{wp|dragon}}. It and Latios may also draw inspiration from the philosophy of {{wp|yin and yang}}. In addition, they may be based upon the {{wp|Aeon (Gnosticism)|aeons in Gnosticism}}, being that certain aeons are immaterial beings of concepts existing in pairs of males and females emanated from God and one another; also, their category is "Eon". Latios and Latias are also based on birds, and due to Latias's {{DL|List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Blaziken / Latias|shared origin}} with {{p|Blaziken}}, they could be based on {{wp|junglefowl}}.

====Name origin====
Latias may derive from ''latere'' ({{wp|Latin}} for "to lie hidden"). ''As'' as a suffix may have been added to make it sound more feminine, opposite the more masculine-sounding ''os'' in {{p|Latios}}.

'''Sandshrew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンド''' ''Sand'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sandslash}} starting at [[level]] 22.

In [[Alola]], Sandshrew has a {{2t|Ice|Steel}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Sandslash when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sandshrew Camouflage.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandshrew blending in with its surroundings]]
Sandshrew is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon, but runs on all fours [[EP008|in the anime]]. Its brick-patterned yellow hide is dry, tough, blends in with desert sand, and protects its soft white underbelly and muzzle. Sandshrew has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical. It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to burrow.

Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to lunge and drag in passing {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. Sandshrew can quickly curl into a tight ball to protect itself from great falls and opponents, but may also throw sand at attackers. While its body can efficiently absorb water to facilitate life in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, Sandshrew [[EP006|has been found]] in caves as well. If it is too wet, its skin becomes wrinkly. It dries itself out by using the geothermal heat near a volcano.

In the Alola region, Sandshrew migrated to snowy mountains due to the volcanic activity near the desert areas. Its body is a light, icy blue and with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Thicker plates form a dome around its head and its ears resemble an {{wp|igloo}}'s entrances. In adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier with a shell of ice covering its hide. This steel-like covering grants it extra defense, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart. Predators, such as {{p|Weavile}}, exploit of its soft underbelly. Alolan Sandshrew's claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-sandshrew/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Sandshrew]</ref>

==In the anime==
[[File:Mira Sandshrew.png|250px|thumb|left|Sandshrew in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Alolan Sandshrew anime.png|250px|thumb|Alolan Sandshrew in the anime]]
[[File:Sandshrew Egg.png|thumb|left|A Sandshrew {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
Sandshrew debuted in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', under the ownership of [[A.J.]] Despite A.J.'s seemingly harsh and barbaric {{pkmn|training}} methods, like using a whip on it and training in a pool, it was very loyal to him.

A Sandshrew was one of the Pokémon that played hide-and-seek in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''. Sandshrew hid by camouflaging itself in front of a brick wall.

A Sandshrew appeared in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', under the ownership of [[Mira]]. She enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to help her retrieve Sandshrew after it was lost at the bottom of an artificial lake created by a dammed river.

Multiple Alolan Sandshrew appeared in ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', where they were menaced by a {{p|Tyranitar}} that wanted to take over their home inside a cave at [[Mount Lanakila]]. The group's leader, a {{pkmn2|giant}} Sandshrew, later evolved into an Alolan {{p|Sandslash}} after touching an [[Ice Stone]].

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Sandshrew and its Alolan {{p|Sandslash|evolution}}.
* Sandshrew and its {{p|Sandslash|evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
** They all have at least one family member with a [[regional form]] in Alola.
* Alolan Sandshrew is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Alolan Sandshrew has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.
** Sandshrew has the lowest base Special Attack stat of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Both Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew have Abilities that boost evasion in certain weather ({{weather|Sandstorm}} for Sandshrew and {{weather|Hail}} for Alolan Sandshrew) and Hidden Abilities that boost Speed in those same weather conditions.
* Alolan Sandshrew can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Vulpix|Alolan Vulpix}}. Both were initially introduced in [[Generation I]] and got {{rf|Alolan|Form}}s in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Both Pokémon are {{type|Ice}} with Vulpix being exclusive to Sun and Sandshrew being exclusive to Moon. Furthermore, both Pokémon evolve when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].
* Alolan Sandshrew, {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Darumaka}}, {{p|Greninja}}, Ash-Greninja, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Minior|Meteor Form}} {{p|Minior}}, {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Duraludon}} are all the same weight as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandshrew may be based on the {{wp|armadillo}}, a mammal that curls up into a ball, has sharp claws, and lives in desert regions. Both Sandshrew and Sandslash are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous. Sandshrew also closely resembles a {{wp|pangolin}}.

Alolan Sandshrew seems to also be based on an {{wp|igloo}} and a {{wp|Curling#Curling stone|curling stone}}.

====Name origin====
Sandshrew is a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|shrew}}''.

Sand is simply ''sand''.

'''Darumaka''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダルマッカ''' ''Darumakka'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Darmanitan}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darumaka has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Darmanitan when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Darumaka sleeping.png|thumb|left|240px|Darumaka asleep]]
Darumaka is a round, red Pokémon with an orange face and yellow curly eyebrows. It has three yellow ovals on its abdomen and a curvy yellow line on its back. Its paws are orange and have three digits each. It has very warm droppings, which ancient people put in their clothes to keep themselves warm.

When the flame inside its body burns, Darumaka is very active. It cannot calm down in this state, and thus becomes uncontrollable. As the flame shrinks, it falls asleep. It can tuck in its arms and legs when it rests; during that time, it slightly sways. While it is sleeping, it cannot be tipped over no matter how much it is pushed or pulled, like a {{wp|Tumbler toy|tumbler doll}}, which it resembles in this state. It prefers to live in a desert environment.

Galarian Darumaka has a thicker coat than normal Darumaka, several turquoise ice crystals as its eyebrows and on its chest, and has blue hands and face with white snowy fur. Unlike its normal form, Galarian Darumaka has a timid frown instead of a mischievous smile.

Seismic shift in the [[Galar]] region long ago caused the warm climate to cool, and Darumaka in this region have adapted to this cooling. The fire that burned within their bodies went out, leaving an organ that produces cold air instead. The colder Darumaka gets, the more energetic it becomes. They can focus their internal energy to breathe out cold air in the form of snow, which they use to make snowballs for ammo in playful snowball fights with each other<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darumaka/</ref>. Galarian Darumaka enjoys eating [[Berry|Berries]] produced by {{p|Snover}}. This leads it to prey on Snover often being driven off by {{p|Abomasnow}}.

'''Clefable''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピクシー''' ''Pixy'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Clefairy}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Cleffa}}.

==Biology==
Clefable is tall, pink Pokémon with a vaguely star-shaped body. It has long, pointed ears with dark brown tips and black, oval eyes with wrinkles on either side. A curled lock of fur hangs over its forehead, much like its long, tightly curled tail. On its back is a pair of dark pink wings; each wing has three points. Its hands have three fingers each, and its feet have two clawed toes and dark pink soles.

Clefable is a timid creature that flees when it senses people approaching and is one of the world's rarest Pokémon. Its sensitive ears can distinctly hear a pin drop from half a mile (one kilometer) away. Because of its acute hearing, it prefers to live in quiet, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas}} of which it is protective. Using a bouncy gait, it is able to walk on water and sometimes appears to be flying using its small wings. [[EP062|The anime]] has shown that Clefable is actually an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].

[[File:Clefy.png|thumb|200px|Clefable in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
{{adv|Green}} had a Clefairy [[nickname]]d Clefy, which first appeared in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''. He later evolved into Clefable in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' when {{adv|Red}} used his [[Moon Stone]] on him. Although he was used only once for distraction against [[Sabrina]] prior to evolving, his increased power allowed him to stall {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}} for a short time with his {{m|Metronome}}. He has since been used as a main member of her team in Green's {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Lorelei]]. During the battle, he {{m|minimize}}d himself to retrieve her miniature ice sculptures, deliberately blowing off the arm part to let the Elite Four's guard down. He has seen no major appearances since, despite always being listed as a team member.

[[Whitney]] has a Clefable, which is {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s childhood friend, as seen in ''[[PM084|Fierce Battle Between Clefairy and Clefable]]''.

A Clefable appeared in [[PMDP16]].

==Trivia==
* The [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|prototype name]] for Clefable was ''Ariala''. The {{pmin|Russia}}n dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} used this name during the [[original series]].
* Clefable and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Granbull}}. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.

Clefable seems to be based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s, being a magical, humanoid, playful creature with wings.

====Name origin====
Clefable is a combination of ''{{wp|clef}}'' (musical key) and ''{{wp|fable}}''. It may also be derived from ''able'', considering its sharp hearing and ability to lightly skip on water.

Pixy is a corruption of ''{{wp|pixie}}''.

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}, and the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It serves as a complement to the Nintendo Switch [[core series]] games, replacing [[Pokémon Bank]] and the [[Pokémon Global Link]]. It was released worldwide on February 12, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the game was released on February 11, 2020 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

==Features==
Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

===Pokémon storage===
Pokémon HOME allows two-way transfer to and from the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] using the Nintendo Switch version. Only Pokémon that can be obtained in Sword and Shield can be transferred to those games, and only Pokémon originally caught in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be transferred to those games. Any Pokémon transferred to Sword and Shield cannot be transferred to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It also allows one-way transfer of Pokémon from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[core series]] games through [[Pokémon Bank]] using either version with a Premium Plan. One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] will be made available in the future.

Up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited, which increases to 6,000 Pokémon with a Premium Plan. The [[Judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

===Trading===
Pokémon can be traded using the mobile phone version. Unlike online trades in the core series, trades in HOME do not trigger trade [[evolution]].

There are four types of trades:
* '''Wonder Box''' (Japanese: '''ミラクルボックス''' ''Miracle Box''): Up to 3 Pokémon (10 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once. Like [[Wonder Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, they will be traded at random for other Pokémon.
* '''[[Global Trade System|GTS]]''': One Pokémon (3 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once, in exchange for a requested Pokémon.
* '''Room Trade''' (Japanese: '''グループ交換''' ''Group Exchange''): Players can join a room of up to 20 people to exchange Pokémon among them. Players can also host a room with a Premium Plan.
* '''Friend Trade''' (Japanese: '''フレンド交換''' ''Friend Exchange''): Players can trade Pokémon with friends registered in Pokémon HOME.

===National Pokédex===
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the [[Generation VI]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Some have stated that once their National Pokédex is complete, they received an Original Color {{p|Magearna}}. Not everyone who has completed this has received one, but it is believed that every Pokémon needs to be owned at the same time for it to work.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII}}
Gifts for Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as Pokémon HOME itself can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received can be deposited directly into the Boxes in Pokémon HOME.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give you the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box for completing certain tasks.

===Achievements===
{{incomplete|section|needs=List of Challenges}}
In the Mobile Version, the player can complete Challenges to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch Version, the player can complete [[Research Task]]s.

===Other===
Players can customize their profile in My Room using stickers obtained by completing Challenges.

In the mobile app, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.

Pokémon HOME Points replace [[Poké Mile]]s as a currency. 1 [[Battle Point]] is equivalent to 30 points, which can be transferred in the Nintendo Switch version.

==Premium Plan==
Except for prices for the Nintendo eShop in the United States, all prices below are inclusive of GST/VAT or other taxes where applicable.

==Trivia==
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]], certain [[Totem Pokémon]] ({{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, and {{p|Togedemaru}}), fused {{p|Necrozma}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} are the only Pokémon available in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME. The fused Necrozma and fused Kyurem, however, can still be viewed in the Pokédex as different forms.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, Held Items cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
* The {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} are the only Pokémon available in the [[Nintendo Switch]] core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
* Until February 12, 2020 at 18:00 JST, any [[Hyper Training]] performed in the [[Alola]] games was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
* All of the Pokémon appear in the Pokédex posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations.
* Prior to the 1.0.3 update, several test gifs of Pikachu were present along with a gif of Vocaloid Meiko dancing and accidentally knocking over Kagamine Rin. <ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo eShop version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used at the same time, and vice-versa.

==Release==
In regions where the Nintendo eShop is not available, the Nintendo Switch version cannot be downloaded using a Nintendo Account set to that region from the Nintendo eShop. Unlike most other Pokémon mobile applications, it is not available in {{pmin|Vietnam}}. Although {{pmin|Greater China|mainland China}} is listed in the app's region select, it is not currently available for download there.

== Problem with the type1/type2 ==

For some reason, I'm getting a problem when I just delete the "|tyep2=" line. For example:
<pre>{{Pokémon/1
|pokemon=Dragonair
|ndex=148
|level=54
|game=FireRed
|type1=Dragon
|held=Unknown
|ability=Shed Skin
|move1=Safeguard
|move1type=Normal
|move2=Outrage
|move2type=Dragon
|move3=Dragon Rage
|move3type=Dragon
|move4=Hyper Beam
|move4type=Normal
}}</pre>
Gives me:
{{Pokémon/1
|pokemon=Dragonair
|ndex=148
|level=54
|game=Blue
|type1=Dragon
|held=Unknown
|ability=Shed Skin
|move1=Safeguard
|move1type=Normal
|move2=Outrage
|move2type=Dragon
|move3=Dragon Rage
|move3type=Dragon
|move4=Hyper Beam
|move4type=Normal
}}

However,
<pre>{{Pokémon/1
|pokemon=Dragonair
|ndex=148
|level=54
|game=FireRed
|type1=Dragon
|type2=Dragon
|held=Unknown
|ability=Shed Skin
|move1=Safeguard
|move1type=Normal
|move2=Outrage
|move2type=Dragon
|move3=Dragon Rage
|move3type=Dragon
|move4=Hyper Beam
|move4type=Normal
}}</pre>

Gives me:
{{Pokémon/1
|pokemon=Dragonair
|ndex=148
|level=54
|game=Blue
|type1=Dragon
|type2=Dragon
|held=Unknown
|ability=Shed Skin

|move1type=Normal
|move2=Outrage
|move2type=Dragon
|move3=Dragon Rage
|move3type=Dragon
|move4=Hyper Beam
|move4type=Normal
}}

==Changes==
I don't know when this template was changed, but all the PMD characters now only have one ability. What happened? I looked through the history of this page and it doesn't change much. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 21:58, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
:What happened was that TTE upgraded the template, and that option was created after he designed it. The changes that matter are actually on the sub-templates. They're currently under cascading protection from [[Joey]] and [[Battle CD]], so I can't fix it, it'll need someone with more power than I do to edit it. Specifically, the easiest way to do it would be to replace <code><nowiki>Ability:</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>{{#if: {{{ability2|}}}|Abilities|Ability}}:</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[{{{ability|No ability}}} (ability)|{{{ability|No ability}}}]]</nowiki></code> with <code><nowiki>[[{{{ability|No ability}}} (ability)|{{{ability|No ability}}}]] {{#if: {{{ability2|}}}|and [[{{{ability2}}} (ability)|{{color|000|{{{ability2}}}}}]]|}}</nowiki></code> If no-one does it before then, I'll do it once the cascading protection expires, and it goes back to regular protection. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

== Small change ==

Could we possibly make it so that the sprite of the Pokémon is actually in the same square as the name/level/gender? [http://takharii.referata.com/wiki/Template:Poke Like this?] (copied from BP for example purposes only). I find that some animated sprite are larger than they should be, and this makes it look neater.

== Spritegender ==

I know this was discussed in [[Template_talk:Pok%C3%A9mon#shiny]] (but it is over 6 months old), but I noticed that the sprite is controlled by both
'''''ndex''''' and '''''spritegender'''''. Just ''spritegender'' adds the little star next to the level.
For example: <pre>{{Pokémon
|gen=4
|pokemon=Wobbuffet
|nickname=Wobbuffet
|ndex=202
|level=12
|game=Platinum
|gender=female
|spritegender=female shiny
|type1=Psychic
}}
</pre>
That gives me:
{{Pokémon
|gen=4
|pokemon=Wobbuffet
|nickname=Wobbuffet
|ndex=202
|level=12
|game=Platinum
|gender=female
|spritegender=female shiny
|type1=Psychic
}}
But:
<pre>{{Pokémon
|gen=4
|pokemon=Wobbuffet
|nickname=Wobbuffet
|ndex=202 f s
|level=12
|game=Platinum
|gender=female
|type1=Psychic
}}</pre>
That gives me this:
{{Pokémon
|gen=4
|pokemon=Wobbuffet
|nickname=Wobbuffet
|ndex=202 f s
|level=12
|game=Platinum
|gender=female
|type1=Psychic
}}
Once again only difference is there that there isn't a [[File:ShinyIVStar.png]]. So in some ways, [[User:CuboneKing|CuboneKing]] was right and so was [[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]]. It sure looks fancier if you use the ''spritegender'' command, but it doesn't matter for the sprite. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 04:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

== Item parameter changes for [[/3|III]], [[/4|IV]], and [[/5|V]] variations ==

I have a request for the Generation III/IV/V templates, and I'm not sticking this on 3 talk pages: Can someone change the held item parameter from <code>[[File:Bag {{{held}}} Sprite.png]]</code> and <code><nowiki>[[{{{held}}}|{{{held}}}]]</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>[[File:{{{heldsprite|Bag {{{held}}} Sprite.png}}}]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{color2|000|{{{heldlink|{{{held}}}}}}|{{{held}}}}}</nowiki></code> respectively? It would add support for PMD items, for example. Like this:

Do we really need it to be <nowiki>{{{type2|Unknown}}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{{type2|}}}</nowiki> it creates another "Unknown" Type next to the actual type for Gen VI Pokemon;

:It's not recommended to use that template. Delete the "gen" parameter and use {{template|Pokémon/6}} instead. [[Special:Random|'''AKUro?''']] [[User talk:Akurochan|あくロ]][[Special:Contributions/Akurochan|ちゃん]] 20:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

== Category ==

I think that the template should be changed to include a category to the game character's page informing that the said character owns or uses a certain Pokémon; so, for exemple, Volkner's page would be included in a category like "Trainers that have an Electivire". I know it doesn't sound that important, but it would be something realy helpful, such as for searching exemples of movesets for a Pokémon. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 00:52, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

== Need an Ability3 field ==

For certain pages with Trainers that have Battle Tower/Battle Tree/Battle Maison etc teams, a field for Ability3 is needed, since they can be randomly chosen from any of the 3 Possible (including Hidden) abilities.

== Top 20 Pokethon Countdown ==

Hey there! There is a page I would like to add about the anime. This was a marathon that Kids WB did back in 1999, in which kids voted on their favorite Pokemon, tallied the results, then hosted a marathon in which Meowth and Professor Oak counted down the top 20, and showed an episode showcasing each one. Here were the results, along with the episode the showed for each one.

20. Snorlax - Wake Up Snorlax 
19. Primeape - Primeape Goes Bananas 
18. Growlithe - The Case of the K9 Caper 
17. Cubone - The School of Hard Knocks 
16. Ponyta - The Flame Pokemon-athon 
15. Butterfree - Bye Bye Butterfree 
14. Psyduck - The Ninja Poke-showdown 
13. Charmeleon - The Problem With Paras 
12. Vulpix - Pokemon Fashion Flash 
11. Meowth - Who Gets to Keep Togepi? (sadly this marathon aired a few weeks before Go West Young Meowth) 
10. Raichu - Electric Shock Showdown 
9. Eevee - The Battling Eevee Brothers 
8. Blastoise - Island of the Giant Pokemon (again, I think this was JUST before Beach Blank-Out Blastoise aired) 
7. Ditto - Ditto's Mysterious Mansion 
6. Jigglypuff - The Song of Jigglypuff 
5. Bulbasaur - Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village 
4. Squirtle - Here Comes the Squirtle Squad 
3. Charmander - Charmander, the Stray Pokemon 
2. Charizard - Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon 
1. Pikachu - Pikachu's Goodbye

== Would this be notable for mainspacing? ==

:Trevor's Charizard can be mainspaced. Unfortunately, I still feel that Tierno's Blastoise does not meet the notability requirements. ''"If a rival's signature Pokémon does nothing more than battle or has no major impact on the plot, then it is not notable for an article and instead should have a section on its Trainer's page."'' While Charizard didn't do much outside of battling either, it at least participated in the league, which I would consider plot impact.

:::Only just saw this was going on; makes me feel important. If I'm honest, I would have thought it'd be the other way around, with Blasoise being notable and Charizard missing out. Both of them had roles outside of battle in the Summer camp: Pokévision and Orienterring episodes as well as being captured by Team Rocket before the Team battle (All of which I neglected to put on their respective pages) Blastoise alo had shenanigans as a Wartortle in ''Good Friends, Good Trainning'' and its recent battle in the Kalos leauge. It is my case that Blastoise should be mainspaced. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 07:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

== Request ==

Can I request that you look into FinnishPokeFan's latest edits because he/she seems to be constantly changing my edits by rewording things when they were fine the way they were. I don't have a problem if he/she adds things that need to be added or fixes mistakes, but he/she seems to be doing this constantly lately and I'm sure that this is because he/she is targeting me. He/she seems to have a problem with me for a while now and apparently these rewordings are fine, despite the fact that they don't need to have reworded. Because quite frankly, I'm sick of being targeted like this. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:As an example, he/she changed the description of Manectric using the move Electric Terrain in the anime and some of the edits added nothing new to it, but according to Tiddlywinks, it's completely fine to reword things, even though some of the edits were completely and utterly unnecessary. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:19, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
::Hey there. First, I want to start off by saying that when you first registered for Bulbapedia, you accepted that ''"all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors."''. I understand that having your edits altered or undone constantly can be frustrating, but the anime-related articles are often high traffic pages on the wiki, so it comes with the territory. Since both you and FinnishPokeFan are both frequent contributors to the anime section and the pages you edit often overlap, it's difficult for me to conclude that ''you'' specifically are being targeted rather than simply the subject of your edits. I've noticed that you and FinnishPokeFan disagree on quite a few topics, but I notice that majority of the time, you do not communicate with each other beyond edit summaries. If you disagree with actions that users make the best action would be reach out on their talkpage (or any talk page) and try to find understanding. If they refuse to engage with you after that, ''then'' we could try to look into taking further intervention. Reverting edits that you felt were unnecessary simply as a means of revenge isn't the best way to go about the situation either. The bottom line is, nothing policy breaking has occurred as of now, there's not much that can be done. Not everyone on Bulbapedia is going to get along and that's not a realistic expectation, but user feuds cannot get to the point where it becomes detrimental to the progress of the site.

== Anime Pokémon pages ==

Sorry to bring this to you but there is a massive back log of Anime Pokémon pages that I am certain are notable enough for mainspacing; [[User:Pattyman/Florges (anime)]], [[User:Pattyman/Meyer's Blaziken]], [[User:05308/Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]], [[User:05308/Diantha's Gardevoir]], [[User:05308/Chespie]], [[User:05308/Z2]] and also maybe [[User:05308/Lugia (anime)]]. Though some aren't quite up-to-date, I find nobody bothers to do much to a page that isn't mainspaced, besides, there are many mainspace pages that are not quite as up-to-date as they need to be (I mean anime Pokémon pages specifically).

I was also wondering wheather the anime counterparts of both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre should be given there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:50, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magnemite ==

I already brought this up with Force Fire but have not been given an answer yet and was told to bring it up with someone else. So I was wondering where you stood on Clemont's Magnemite. Notability rules say that Pokémon that are owned by Clemont are notable if they appeared in more than one episode and Magnemite has finally done that. So can the page [[User:Rahl/Clemont's Magnemite]] be moved to the mainspace?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
:While Clemont's Magnemite does ''technically'' meet the notability requirements, the Editorial Board feels that Clemont's Magnemite in particular is not notable. It only had very brief appearances and we feel that there's not enough information about it to warrant a page for it at this time. If we were to mainspace it, it would most likely remain a stub and it's not very worth it. We are currently in the process of adjusting/updating the anime notability requirements so it will be more clear on what to do in situations like this one.

== Opinion ==

What you think this?
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Dawn%27s_Buneary#Gender_should_be_changed_to_.22unknown.22 --[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:58, 30 October 2016 (UTC)]]
:While it's extremely likely that Dawn's Buneary is indeed a female, it's Bulbapedia policy to abide by what the Japanese version of the anime refers to it as. Unfortunately, it's never been explicitly stated or confirmed that it is a female Pokémon on the original version, so that's how it should be referred to as in the article. There have been some situations in the past where Pokémon have been referred to as one gender in the original version and another in the dub, so doing things this ways ensures that the Japanese version will always take precedence.

== Reducing clutter on [[Season]] ==

Hi there! I recently noticed that our [[Season]] page has a lot of unnecessary clutter — season boundaries only differed between broadcast and home video prior to the second Advanced Generation season, yet for some reason we list them separately even for more recent seasons. Since you're Head of Anime, I hope you're the right person for me to approach to suggest an alternative that I've created in my userspace: [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Season suggestion]] (and its [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Seasonlist2|accompanying template]]).

:::No problem! Out of that list, the only one I really could see being possibly notable is Burgh's Leavanny, since it played a role in the eventual capture of Sewaddle.

== List of voice actors page ==

Should Pokemon Generations voice actors have their role mentioned on the page List of Japanese voice actors? Because there are quite a few voice actors who don't have their role mentioned on that page. Also would it be relevant for Takehito Koyasu and Yosuke Akimoto to have their own page? Because I'm planning to make a page for each of them and I believe that at least Koyasu would be relevant as he had voiced Butch in the Japanese dub of the anime but in Akimoto's case I'm not too sure if his role as Dr Fuji in Mewtwo Strikes Back, Birth of Mewtwo(Radio Drama) and Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin would be notable enough.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, Pokémon Generations VAs should have their roles mentioned on the List of Japanese Voice Actors page. As for the two voice actors you mentioned, Takehito Koyasu definitely meets the Project VA notability requirements. Dr. Fuji would probably fall under the recurring category so I'd be okay with Yosuke Akimoto having a page as well. If you draft up the two pages in your userspace I'll be happy to review/mainspace them right away. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

::::One of the most simple tasks that you can do on the Archives without being Auto-confirmed is probably cross checking the [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=move&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_tag_log=1 Bulbapedia move log] and editing the links of the image file description pages to point to the right page back on Bulbapedia.

== Takehito Koyasu Page ==

Hi, I've finished the draft for the page Koyasu, so could you please have a look over it to see if it is worthy to be mainspaced along with checking is anything is missing?. The Akimoto page is still currently being worked on. The Yosuke Akimoto page is still being worked on but will be ready soon to be looked over as a draft.
I would like to ask if there is a way where all 'incomplete' stub messages can be viewed? Because I feel in the future I will be using them quite a lot.
Also I would like to ask if the following voice actors would be relevant for their own article:
* Yuichi Nakamura: only did N in the anime but he was a prominent recurring character who even travelled with the group for a bit so I believe he would be relevant
* Takahiro Sakurai: May not be as notable but played a recurring role as Sandshrew in the anime and Watt from the AG series who appeared more than once
* Wataru Takagi: Played Fergus from M01 and Vladimir in AG series who appears more than once in AG series
* Atsuko Tanaka: Played Pike Queen Lucy and Lenora(who appeared in more than one episode, one being a gym battle and the other in another episode in person)
* Rie Tanaka: Played Solidad and Mars who both had frequent appearances in their respective series(AG and DP)
* Nobuo Tobita: Brycen who's appearances were both large in the episodes he appeared in
* Kosuke Toriumi: Played Saizo who was prominent in the two episodes of appearance despite being COTD
* Tetsuya Kakihara: Reggie who appeared numerous times throughout the DP series
* Mikako Komatsu: Mairin who appears many times throughout the XY anime
* Koji Yusa: May not be too prominent in terms of number of appearances but did play Drake(Orange League) who appeared twice during his battle against Ash
* Fumiko Orikasa: Diantha the Kalos Champion who appears a lot in the XY anime[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:08, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

==Quick questions==
Hi, I have a few questions I would like to ask regarding a few things,
* Do voice actors have to have a biography? Because I noticed that some such as Aoi Yuki have a biography.
* I saw that many voice actor pages have stubs on them. Is that because technically their roles are always expanding or is there some other reason?
* Would Kensho Ono be worthy of his own page? He played Alain who had a major role in the XY series and the Mega Evolution specials?
* Do edits to then userspaced pages count towards mainspace edits when they become mainspaced? And is there a way to count number of edits? Because I'm striving to become one of the top contributors of the month and just asking out of curiosity.
* Following the previous question, would it be advised against to edit a large number of articles in a small amount of time such as over the course of one day? Just need to know so I don't cause server problems.
* About the usertag "This user has beaten Bulbabot", can it only be used by those who beat Bulbabots number of contributions in one month?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 11:52, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll try to break down everything you asked below:
*Let me run this by the rest of the Editorial Board since it doesn't seem like there's ever been any established guidelines on that front.
*Many VA articles have been marked stubs because traditionally stub pages are considered pages that are very short, which is the case a lot of the time for VA articles. However, this blanket application of marking them as stubs are probably something we should be getting away from moving forward. In the future, we'll probably go through and unmark the articles that are considered "complete".
*Yes, he would qualify for a page.
*Yes, when articles are moved to the mainspace those edits will be automatically adjusted and counted towards your mainspace edits. You can check your number of edits by going to the "preferences" tab at the upper right and then clicking "view global account info" under the user profile tab. However, this edit number will be your edits in total, userspace edits and all, I don't believe there is a way to view a breakdown of the types of edits (userspace, mainspace, etc) without very high technical administrative privileges.
*No, we don't advise against it if they're all productive edits. The only concern would be editing a number of high-traffic templates at one time as that could crash the server, but most of those are protected from normal users anyway.
*The Bulbabot usertag is for overall edits I believe, but I'll double check that for you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to thank you for removing my trivia ban. But I also don't want to repeat history, so I thought I should ask: are any of [[User:Unowninator#My personal trivia|these]] good trivia?

::I bolded the ones that I think would be notable:
*All of the Iron-Masked Marauder Pokemon, including Celebi have a quadruple weakness.
*Spoink's badge bounces a bit in the Badge Arcade, whereas nothing else moves in its machine.
*Hyperspace Fury is the only non Z-move move that breaks Protect which can hit all types.
*Rio'''Lucario'''lu
*Darkrai is the only Technical Pokkén character without a Mega evolution or a weakness against Ghost attacks.
**It is also the only non-Ghost type that can go through walls without an item in Mystery Dungeon.
'''*By giving Stunfisk an Air Balloon, it becomes the only Dual-typed Pokémon immune to both of its STABs.'''
*Onix is the only [[Gigantic Pokémon]] that can still evolve.
*The playable Pokemon in every [[Special episode]] is either pure Grass or pure Normal (not counting Igglybuff's eventual type change)
'''*Torracat is the only starter Pokemon to have a stat drop when it evolves.'''
'''* In {{g|Yellow}}, the game corner slots use {{TRT}}'s Pokemon.'''
* Sandshrew and Sandslash are the only Pokemon not to share any weaknesses with their Alolan forms.
As for anything you should know, stay away from trivia (or any statements for that matter) that could be viewed as an opinion. Also avoid overly obvious trivia that may already be stated or easily seen from reading the article itself. I hope this helps some.

== Username change request ==

My username on Bulbapedia is Randomwaffle23. I despise this name, and I regret having ever been young and stupid enough to choose it for anything. On more than one occasion, I've had people assume I'm a new user who doesn't know what he's doing, even when my edits are constructive and in good faith. People figure they probably know better than someone named Randomwaffle23.

I don't want to be looked down on because of these kinds of assumptions. I don't want to be an eternal "new user". So, I'd like to have my account's username changed to '''Ardub23''', a name which has fewer connotations (and which matches my username on various other sites). Or, failing that, I'd like to be permitted to create a new account under that name.

Thank you for considering my request. — [[User:Randomwaffle23|Randomwaffle23]] ([[User talk:Randomwaffle23|talk]]) 19:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

== Template wikicode question ==

I am writing a sandboxed version of the {{template|alldex}} row template for use on a draft article ([[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]) that is currently nominated for mainspacing. I want this sandboxed version to take into account whether a non-numeric input (like <code>---</code> or <code>???</code>) is fed to any of its parameters.

On the current version in templatespace, whenever a non-numeric input is fed to the <code>s=</code> parameter, as in the following example:
<pre>{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}</pre>
I get the following error message:
{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}
This is because of the following numeric comparison statement being executed by the template to determine whether or not to append {{sup/4|Pt}} to the Sdex number:
<pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}</pre>
The comparison <code><nowiki>{{{s|001}}} > 151</nowiki></code> crashes whenever <code>s=</code> is non-numeric. So, I want to modify my sandboxed copy of {{template|alldex}} to not execute the numeric comparison above unless the input is purely numeric.

I want to ask if there is a wikicode command (like <code><nowiki>{{#ifnum: {{{in|def}}}|out}}</nowiki></code> or similar) that I can use in my template to check whether the input is a number (positive, negative, etc.) and execute the output only upon meeting that numeric constraint. That way, I could have my template do this without crashing or returning error messages:
<pre>{{#ifnum: {{{s|001}}}|{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}}}</pre>
I could also use such a construct to tell the template to supress any <code><nowiki>{{tt|*|}}</nowiki></code> tooltips for non-numeric inputs (like <code>---</code>, used to express that a Pokémon is not in that regional Pokédex), so that for the example above I get something like this:
{{alldexh|1}}
|- style="background:#FFFFFF;"
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #204{{tt|*|199 in Generation II}}

Any help on this? Thankee! ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') [[User talk:SilSinn9801|💬]] 22:46, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

== help ==

Hello! I wanted to help with item descriptions by adding a verbal description since the pictures are very small on mobile and sometimes don't load due to errors or bad signal.
someone was removing them and messaged me to stop and that the pictures were enough.

this was my reply: " I'm adding the descriptions because on mobile or low wifi or bad data the pictures don't load at all sometimes. If you can't get the picture a description is a good way to help someone identify an item they have. please leave them alone."
I went to correct my signature and spelling and I couldn't save. It says I was abusing somehow? abuse 3 or something. Please help! I'm not entirely sure how the talking thing works even after reading the page and I hope this gets top you okay.

== Can I add personal links? ==

I briefly summed it up in a comment on Dunsparce's talk page, but I was wondering if I could add a link to a journal entry detailing in-depth why I think Dunsparce may draw partial inspiration from hornworms. [[User:Icycatelf|Icycatelf]] ([[User talk:Icycatelf|talk]]) 17:51, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

== Sword and Shield ==

As we are drawing closer to Sword and Shield being released, do you know when the site will be locked from editing and how long for, seeing that we have little to no information on Pokémon Sword and Shield regarding the Pokémon and the characters? [[User:Kangaflora|Kangaflora]] ([[User talk:Kangaflora|talk]]) 19:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
:Hey there. There is no approximate date for when the site is expected to be edit locked and the exact duration of the lock, but it can be expected in the near future. I ensure you that Staff will work very hard to have this lock be as brief as possible. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 03:53, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
::Could I request this to be communicated at least some time before the the lock-down? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 12:20, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping that vandal. Could you also hide his edits? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:49, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
:Of course. I removed the edits from S11, but the others weren't particularly disruptive so I left them unhidden. We typically reserve hiding the edits for the particularly vulgar vandal edits. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:00, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

== Re: Regarding talk page warnings ==

I apologize for the late response. Thank you for informing me about the full extent of the talk page policy. I didn't know we were allowed to manually create a new section at the bottom of the talk page. I assumed, based on the existence of the "+" sign, that it was something we were all required to use. My apologies. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:16, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

== Becoming an admin ==

Is there a formal process on how to become an admin for this site? I'd like to become one, if that's alright. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:12, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
:There's no formal process, staff are selected periodically based on their contributions to the site. ''"What Bulbapedia looks for in its staff is a willingness to contribute meaningfully above all.

== Pokémon Home Sprites ==
Pokémon Home has made new sprites of every Pokémon just for the app. I'm unsure if these should be added to the individual Pokémon's page or if there should be a page dedicated to the Pokémon Home sprites. Since there's no Head of Games, you seemed like the person to ask, how can I help since I can't upload pictures yet and what's the best way to add these sprites? [[User:Browserboom|Browserboom]] ([[User talk:Browserboom|talk]]) 02:55, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
:It seems that these sprites [https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:HOME_artwork have already been uploaded to the Archives]. Ideally, the home sprites would be included on each individual species page as we do with sprites from other games/generations, but that would be implemented through an update of the Spritebox template, which a couple of users are working on currently. Once these steps are done is when we can go about adding them to the pages and there may be more for you to help with.

== Ataro ignoring my talk page messages ==

Hey! I would like to report an admin. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such unacceptable, selective behavior. One would expect an admin to respond to any and all talk page messages as soon as possible. Unfortunately, trying to contact Ataro even before they initially responded has been an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct. I'd like to see this being addressed. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:48, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
:Hello GrammarFreak and thank you for reaching out. While I definitely understand and see your frustrations, I also want to say be careful because you don't want to toe the line of harassment by repeatedly leaving messages after Ataro explained his reasoning behind his original action. Even though Ataro is the Head of Manga and has the right to not explain himself further, he should have communicated this to you clearly or referred you to a higher member of staff if you were dissatisfied still. I'll try to touch base with him, but, for now, I'm going to ask you to discontinue messaging him about this particular issue. You can reach out to myself or Kogoro if you have any additional disagreements with a decision a member of staff has made. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
::Thank you! Yeah, sorry about that. That's why I reached out to you; I figured I sent too much messages as it already was. Again, thank you! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 22:02, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

== Autoconfirm Request ==

I have edited some articles, but it doesn't allow me to create a new page. Any help? {{U|SatoKasu101}}

== Five questions ==

<ol>
<li>{{user|Kogoro}} has so many unanswered user rename requests on her talk page. I have requested as well, so will you or Kogoro ''globally'' rename users? [[Special:CentralAuth/TheICTLiker4|View my current CentralAuth status]]. Yes, I want to have my username changed to Keyacom because I'm called like that in many places around the internet, e.g. on [[Smogon|Pokémon Showdown]].
<li>Even if a user was {{bp|blocking policy|blocked}}, will they be ever accepted to become a staff member?
<li>Will Bulbapedia ever have the [[mw:Extension:Math|Math extension]] installed? Not only I want this extension, but also {{user|Raltseye}}, {{user|Team Rocket Grunt}} and {{user|SnorlaxMonster}}. I think Bulbapedia should have this extension because:

'''Pokémon HOME''' (Japanese: '''Pokémon HOME''') is a cloud service for {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}, and the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It serves as a complement to the Nintendo Switch [[core series]] games, replacing [[Pokémon Bank]] and the [[Pokémon Global Link]]. It was released worldwide on February 12, 2020.<ref group="note" name="release">Due to time zones, the game was released on February 11, 2020 in North America, even though it was released at the same time as the rest of the world.</ref>

It was announced at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2019 Press Conference]] on May 29, 2019.

==Features==
Pokémon HOME is managed by Pokémon researcher [[Grand Oak]], whose goal is to create a [[Pokédex]] that includes every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}.

===Pokémon storage===
Pokémon HOME allows two-way transfer to and from the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] using the Nintendo Switch version. Only Pokémon that can be obtained in Sword and Shield can be transferred to those games, and only Pokémon originally caught in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! can be transferred to those games. Any Pokémon transferred to Sword and Shield cannot be transferred to Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. It also allows one-way transfer of Pokémon from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[core series]] games through [[Pokémon Bank]] using either version with a Premium Plan. One-way transfers from [[Pokémon GO]] will be made available in the future.

Up to 30 Pokémon can be deposited, which increases to 6,000 Pokémon with a Premium Plan. The [[Judge]] function is available in either version with a Premium Plan.

===Trading===
Pokémon can be traded using the mobile phone version. Unlike online trades in the core series, trades in HOME do not trigger trade [[evolution]].

There are four types of trades:
* '''Wonder Box''' (Japanese: '''ミラクルボックス''' ''Miracle Box''): Up to 3 Pokémon (10 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once. Like [[Wonder Trade]]s and [[Surprise Trade]]s, they will be traded at random for other Pokémon.
* '''[[Global Trade System|GTS]]''': One Pokémon (3 Pokémon with a Premium Plan) can be deposited for trade at once, in exchange for a requested Pokémon.
* '''Room Trade''' (Japanese: '''グループ交換''' ''Group Exchange''): Players can join a room of up to 20 people to exchange Pokémon among them. Players can also host a room with a Premium Plan.
* '''Friend Trade''' (Japanese: '''フレンド交換''' ''Friend Exchange''): Players can trade Pokémon with friends registered in Pokémon HOME.

===National Pokédex===
Pokémon HOME features a [[National Pokédex]] that records information on Pokémon that have been deposited in the Boxes in Pokémon HOME. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the [[Generation VI]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}} core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered.

The mobile app version of Pokémon HOME also allows players to view the possible [[move]]s and {{Abilities}} a Pokémon can have.

Some have stated that once their National Pokédex is complete, they received an Original Color {{p|Magearna}}. Not everyone who has completed this has received one, but it is believed that every Pokémon needs to be owned at the same time for it to work.

===Mystery Gifts===
{{main|List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII}}
Gifts for Pokémon Sword and Shield as well as Pokémon HOME itself can be received using the mobile app's [[Mystery Gift]] feature. Pokémon received can be deposited directly into the Boxes in Pokémon HOME.

When first starting Pokémon HOME mobile, [[Grand Oak]] will give you the choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}. Each of these Pokémon have their [[Abilities|Hidden Abilities]]. Various other Pokémon may also be received from the Gift Box for completing certain tasks.

===Achievements===
{{incomplete|section|needs=List of Challenges}}
In the Mobile Version, the player can complete Challenges to unlock stickers.

In the Nintendo Switch Version, the player can complete [[Research Task]]s.

===Other===
Players can customize their profile in My Room using stickers obtained by completing Challenges.

In the mobile app, players can also view Battle Data and News, replacing the Rankings, Distribution Regulations, and Event Calendar features of the Pokémon Global Link.

Pokémon HOME Points replace [[Poké Mile]]s as a currency. 1 [[Battle Point]] is equivalent to 30 points, which can be transferred in the Nintendo Switch version.

==Premium Plan==
Except for prices for the Nintendo eShop in the United States, all prices below are inclusive of GST/VAT or other taxes where applicable.

==Compatibility==
The game can be played on:
* iOS devices: {{wp|iOS 9}} or later.
* Android devices: {{wp|Android Lollipop|Android 5.0}} and up.

==Gallery==

==Trivia==
* [[Cosplay Pikachu]], certain [[Totem Pokémon]] ({{p|Marowak}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, and {{p|Togedemaru}}), fused {{p|Necrozma}}, and fused {{p|Kyurem}} are the only Pokémon available in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME. The fused Necrozma and fused Kyurem, however, can still be viewed in the Pokédex as different forms.
* Like in Pokémon Bank, Held Items cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
* The {{ga|partner Pokémon|partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}} are the only Pokémon available in the [[Nintendo Switch]] core series games that cannot be stored in Pokémon HOME.
* Until February 12, 2020 at 18:00 JST, any [[Hyper Training]] performed in the [[Alola]] games was lost upon transferring from [[Pokémon Bank]]. Details on how to restore were announced in the app and on the official support websites.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-support.com/news/s/article/000002142 ''【Pokémon HOME】既知の不具合について - ポケットモンスター (<nowiki>[Pokémon HOME]</nowiki> Known bugs)'' - pokemon-support.com] (Japanese) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref><ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/news/972 ''현재「Pokémon HOME」에서 확인된 이상 현상에 대하여 - 포켓몬 공식 사이트 (About the anomalies currently identified in "Pokémon HOME")'' - pokemonkorea.co.kr] (Korean) (accessed 14 February, 2020)</ref>
* All of the Pokémon appear in the Pokédex posed in the same position as their official art, with Pokémon from the [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} taking on their redesigned art from Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} respectively.
** Furthermore, [[Shiny Pokémon]] appear as Shiny, instead of their usual colorations.
* Prior to the 1.0.3 update, several test gifs of Pikachu were present along with a gif of Vocaloid Meiko dancing and accidentally knocking over Kagamine Rin. <ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_HOME_(iOS,_Android) TCRF - Pokémon HOME (iOS / Android) unused content]</ref>
* The Nintendo eShop version cannot be used while the mobile version is being used, and vice-versa.

==Release==
In regions where the Nintendo eShop is not available, the Nintendo Switch version cannot be downloaded using a Nintendo Account set to that region from the Nintendo eShop. Unlike most other Pokémon mobile applications, it is not available in {{pmin|Vietnam}}. Although {{pmin|Greater China|mainland China}} is listed in the app's region select, it is not currently available for download there.
