'''Hypnosis''' (Japanese: '''さいみんじゅつ''' ''Hypnotism'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Hypnosis puts the target to {{status|sleep}}.

In the Generation I handheld games only, Hypnosis can affect a target behind a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}.

Hypnosis has an accuracy of 60%.

===Generation II===
In the Generation II [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses Hypnosis, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

===Generation III===
Hypnosis has no effect on Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}.

Hypnosis can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Dream Eater}} and {{m|Nightmare}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

===Generation IV onward===
In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Hypnosis's accuracy was changed to 70%. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it was changed back to 60%. In link battles between Diamond and Pearl vs Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver, Hypnosis's accuracy is set to 60% regardless of who chose to become leader.

Hypnosis can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Hex}}, {{m|Nightmare}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Hypnosis, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Hypnosis has an accuracy of 70%. It inflicts {{status|Drowsy|drowsiness}} on the target, lasting five turns.

==={{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
Hypnosis puts the enemy to {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|sleep}}. This move is affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}.

From {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, if Hypnosis is used on an enemy who is already asleep, this will cause the enemy to become [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|terrified]]. A terrified Pokémon will run away, and cannot use moves or items. If the enemy uses Hypnosis on one of the player's sleeping Pokémon, the Pokémon will become its {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|puppet}}. While in the puppet status, the Pokémon will randomly attack its allies or use items. The player cannot switch to the Pokémon affected with this status. If the leader has the puppet status, the player won't be able to do anything until it wears off. The puppet status will last until the sleep status wears off.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

While Ash and friends deliberate on how to pass through a tunnel replete with Onix, two wandering Pokémon—a Snubbull and a Jigglypuff—arrive on the scene together and take a strong enough dislike to each other to threaten drawing everyone else into their conflict.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue towards [[Goldenrod City]]. {{an|Brock}} reads his guide and informs everyone that the [[Onix Tunnel]], a mountain pass filled with {{p|Onix}}, is close by. {{an|Misty}} is worried about the Onix, but Ash assures her that his {{AP|Squirtle}} can handle them, only to remember that Squirtle is now with the [[Squirtle Squad]]. Misty replies that her {{t|Water}} Pokémon will do the job. With the sun setting, the group decides to wait until the morning to enter the tunnel. {{an|Jigglypuff}} walks closely behind, unnoticed, while {{TP|Madam Muchmoney|Snubbull}} similarly follows behind Jigglypuff.

A new morning arrives and {{TRT}} walk to the cave's entrance. {{MTR}} considers taking the mountain route instead, but he reluctantly takes the tunnel path with [[Jessie]] and [[James]]. The cave's eerie silence is broken by a trio of Onix. James calls out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}. He orders Victreebel to use {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but the Onix don't seem affected by it. They reply by hitting their heads against the cave's walls and using {{m|Rock Throw}} to cause a rockslide. Jessie decides to send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, but it is quickly {{m|Bind}}ed by one of the Onix. After that, Jessie tosses Meowth at the Onix, but his {{m|Fury Swipes}} do nothing. The Onix reply by using another Rock Throw. Team Rocket rushes out of the tunnel. They gather their breaths before deciding to steal Misty's Water Pokémon in order to counter the Onix. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of his {{i|Poké Ball}}, but Jessie quickly [[recall]]s him.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends are just beginning their day. Ash sits by the campsite's river to wash his face, while Brock stretches with {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} and Misty scolds her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} for its habit of putting its hands on its head. Brock asks Pineco if it's ready to have some fun, and Pineco promptly {{m|Explosion|explodes}} in Brock’s arms. Ash notices a Snubbull walk by, and he instantly notices its red ribbons. Misty says that it's obviously the Snubbull that belongs to [[Madame Muchmoney]]. As the group wonder why she has run away from home, Snubbull rushes off. Ash and his friends pursue Snubbull, but soon lose her only to find themselves face-to-face with a familiar Jigglypuff. Before the group can flee, Jigglypuff jumps onto a tree stump and performs a {{m|Sing}}ing rendition which causes Ash and his friends to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}. Team Rocket, who have disguised themselves as shrubs, and Snubbull, who was about to bite onto Meowth's tail, are also lulled to sleep.

Sometime later, Snubbull wakes up, with her face scribbled by Jigglypuff and with no sign of Team Rocket. She starts sniffing again, arriving at a small pond. When she looks at her reflection, she is shocked to see what happened to her face. Then she turns and sees an angered Jigglypuff is scribbling on a sleeping {{p|Pidgey}}. Snubbull steals Jigglypuff's microphone and runs away with it. Soon Ash and his friends encounter Jigglypuff again. They attempt to run, but Brock stops them, saying there is something different about it. Then Ash notices it doesn't have its microphone. They decide to help it find the microphone.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket have since cleaned their faces of Jigglypuff's scribbles. With their first plan ruined, Jessie suggests the trio try a pitfall trap. She introduces her teammates to a new invention, a shovel combined with a pogo stick. Snubbull appears with the microphone, while Team Rocket is digging. She sneaks behind Meowth and bites down on his tail. Jessie picks up Snubbull and quickly identifies it as Madam Muchmoney's Snubbull. James thinks it would be a great gift for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. Though Jessie is glad to have a cute Pokemon like Snubbull to cuddle, and mentions that she will now become more popular than Misty and her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. Wobbuffet makes another unexpected appearance, much to Jessie's annoyance. Meowth demands that Jessie and James pick either him or Snubbull, but he is shocked that his teammates happily welcome Snubbull to the group. Jessie and James soon leave, and Meowth goes on his separate way. Later, Team Rocket spy from some bushes as Ash, his friends, and Jigglypuff notice several plates of fruit lying on the road ahead. Ash is eager for a bite, but his friends are more skeptical and believe it's a trap. Jigglypuff rushes forward and falls into one of the pitfall traps. Ash sends his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to rescue Jigglypuff out of the hole. It becomes angry, runs toward two more pitfalls with Bulbasaur taking it out of both holes. It puffs up again in anger and runs, while the group follows it.

Soon after, Snubbull jumps from Jessie's hands and rushes off. Elsewhere, Meowth contemplates returning to Jessie and James, but he quickly changes his mind. In the forest, Ash and his friends search for Jigglypuff's microphone, but Jigglypuff is quickly losing hope of locating its precious item. Now Meowth rests by the entrance to Onix Tunnel and a sad Jigglypuff joins him. The pair begin to console each others feelings and Meowth suggests that he and Jigglypuff should start their own team named the Dream Team. The conversation is shortly interrupted after Snubbull bites Meowth's tail. Jessie and James appear, but they admit they didn't notice Meowth's disappearance and were only looking for Snubbull. Jigglypuff spots its microphone in Snubbull's paw and tries to snatch it back. Just as Jigglypuff and Snubbull begin fighting, and Meowth also gets caught up, {{AP|Pikachu}} oversees the commotion and quickly alerts Ash and his friends, who rush on to the scene and break up the fight.

Team Rocket is glad to see Misty and recites their {{motto}}. Meowth tries to say his classic line, but Wobbuffet interrupts. Jessie and James are quite impressed by the new rendition, but Meowth is admittedly concerned about his future in Team Rocket. Jessie sends her Arbok and Misty tries to send one of her Pokémon, but Psyduck pops out instead. Team Rocket cringe at Psyduck’s arrival, though Misty quickly recalls it. She tries again and sends out {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}}. Poliwag dodges Arbok then hits it with {{m|Water Gun}}. James sends out Victreebel and Ash calls on {{AP|Chikorita}} for assistance. James orders Victreebel to use Razor Leaf on Poliwag, but Chikorita’s {{m|Vine Whip}}s break the attack. Poliwag {{m|Double Slap}}s Arbok and Chikorita uses Razor Leaf on Victreebel. Chikorita follows up with a Vine Whip, but it is {{m|Counter}}ed by Wobbuffet. Poliwag powerful Water Gun manages to break Wobbuffet's Counter and throws him, Victreebel and Arbok back into Team Rocket. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} and sends them blasting off. Snubbull runs off to chase Meowth, leaving the microphone behind.

Jigglypuff picks up the microphone and starts singing, putting Ash and his friends to sleep again before scribbling their faces. As they sleep, Jigglypuff enters the tunnel and encounters the three Onix. It starts singing again, putting them to sleep. Ash and his friends wake up by sunset and proceed to pass through the Onix Tunnel. They are relieved to see the Onix are fast asleep, and Ash is grateful that Jigglypuff was reunited with its microphone. By nightfall, Team Rocket begin their walk through the Onix Tunnel. Jessie unfortunately trips over, and the sound causes the slumbering Onix to awaken.

==Trivia==
* This is the first time {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} shouts out his name at the end of {{TRT}}'s {{motto}}.
* Along with its [[EP045|debut episode]], this is one of the episodes where {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song the most, with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} hearing it twice, Team Rocket hearing it once, and the {{p|Onix}} that dwell in the Onix tunnel hearing it once.
* Ash mentions that he no longer has his {{AP|Squirtle}}. In the dub, however, this episode aired slightly out of order, and aired before the episode where Squirtle returned to the [[Squirtle Squad]], causing confusion for viewers, as well as spoiling the ending to [[EP147|another episode]].
* Throughout the entire episode, it is stated that {{type|Water}} Pokémon are the only way to defeat {{p|Onix}}; however, there is no mention of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon who are just as strong as Water types against Onix.
* An instrumental version of [[You Can Do It (If You Really Try)]] can be heard.

===Errors===
* At the beginning of the episode, the narrator says "Once again, we join our friends on their journey ''to'' [[Johto]]", despite Ash and his friends already being in Johto.
* {{an|Brock}} says that the food pitfall trap is familiar, but the only other one featured so far was during the [[Orange Islands]], which was when Brock was with [[Professor Ivy]] and he therefore couldn't have seen that trap in person.
* When [[James]] commands his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the group of Onix in the Onix Tunnel, the leaves bounce off them and appear to inflict no damage. However, in reality, Onix, being a dual {{t|Rock}} and {{type|Ground}}, is extremely weak to {{type|Grass}} [[move]]s.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[Song of Jigglypuff]]

'''Captain Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''キャプテンピカチュウ''' ''Captain Pikachu''), simply referred to as '''Cap''' (Japanese: '''キャップ''' ''Cap''), is [[Friede]]'s partner Pokémon and his second known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He sits in the chair on the bridge of the [[Brave Olivine]], the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' ship, and is responsible for navigating it when Friede is not present. He is also co-leader of the Pokémon who belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the Brave Olivine. Captain Pikachu is almost always seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] his {{i|Poké Ball}}. He is a founding member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, which is named after his {{m|Volt Tackle|signature move}}.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Captain Pikachu was living in the [[Paldea]] region, but dreamt of flying and kept trying to do so using his {{m|Volt Tackle}}. One day, Pikachu met [[Friede]], who offered his friendship, but Pikachu didn't accept it. However, Pikachu changed his mind when Friede offered food and help in making his dream come true. After being able to fly successfully, Captain Pikachu accepted Friede's request to be his partner and was caught. Captain Pikachu's dream of flying using Volt Tackle inspired Friede to approach [[Ludlow]] and [[Orla]] about constructing the [[Brave Olivine]] and forming the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to fly around and explore the world, with Captain Pikachu being one of its founding members. Later, Captain Pikachu would meet [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Captain Pikachu met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as she joined the team.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Pikachu and Friede]]
=====With Friede=====
In ''[[HZ002|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)]]'', Friede used Captain Pikachu to battle against [[Amethio]] after he and [[Explorers|his group]] had boarded the [[Brave Olivine]] to coerce [[Liko]] to come with them. He battled against {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, but the battle was ultimately halted by Liko, who felt responsible for all the trouble happening around her. In the [[HZ003|next episode]], he once went up against Amethio's Ceruledge. This time, however, it was merely a distraction so that Liko could sneak around the Explorers' hideout for the moment and find her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, who had been taken hostage by the group. Once they reunited, the battle ended with Friede and Captain Pikachu making their escape.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu partook in a training battle against [[Roy]] and Liko, going up against {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} and Sprigatito. By using {{m|Double Team}}, Captain Pikachu avoided getting hit as his opponents attacked his duplicates, tiring themselves out in the process until they became unable to battle.

In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', Captain Pikachu battled against a {{OBP|Trainer|HZ016}}'s {{p|Bisharp}} aboard a ferry. He and Friede were looking for [[Spinel]] and Liko's pendant when this Trainer recognized and challenged them. Despite this, the two Rising Volt Tacklers did not take long to figure out that this Trainer and the one they were looking for were not one in the same, and Captain Pikachu finished off his opponent quickly.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Captain Pikachu participated in a battle against the Explorers. However, when a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared, Captain Pikachu battled it, but got injured. Fortunately, Captain Pikachu was rescued by Liko and Roy and left the [[Galar Mine]] in order for him to recover, while his Trainer and Charizard stayed behind to battle the Explorers. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Captain Pikachu meet up with Friede at the [[Motostoke]] [[Pokémon Center]], after recovering from his battle with Moltres. Captain Pikachu then battled Moltres again in order to calm it down, which they were able to do and the Legendary Pokémon return it to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Friede Charizard and Captain Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Captain Pikachu stayed behind to guard the Brave Olivine while his Trainer, Liko, and Roy went to an [[ancient castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. In the [[HZ025|following episode]], he and the rest of the group arrived at the castle after Friede called upon them. Cap briefly battled [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} and set off [[Coral]]'s fury, which resulted in her commanding her {{p|Glalie}} to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. He and his Trainer managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', Captain Pikachu noticed an odd Pokémon, as he saw a strange purple liquid on the battlefield during his training with Roy's Fuecoco and Liko's Sprigatito. Later, Captain Pikachu found the Pokémon and discovered it to be a wild {{p|Polteageist}}. Hearing that Polteageist wanted to battle {{p|Shuckle}}, Captain Pikachu let them and invited some of the other Pokémon, including [[Murdock's Rockruff]] and {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, to watch. However, the battle was called off, but Captain Pikachu and his friends welcomed Polteageist to the group, as they were joined by Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and [[Dot's Quaxly]] in the celebration.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Captain Pikachu fought against Spinel's {{p|Umbreon}} after getting trapped in a tower with him. By allowing Umbreon to send Cap crashing into a wall and then hitting the wall with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, Cap was able to create an opening that allowed Friede to escape.

In ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used in a battle against [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}}, winning the battle without much difficulty.

In ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used alongside Charizard to fend off a pack of {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Houndour}} impeding the group's search for [[Lucius's Kleavor]].
[[File:Captain Pikachu Lightning Rod.png|thumb|250px|left|{{a|Lightning Rod}} activated]]
In ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', Captain Pikachu teamed up with {{p|Floragato}}, {{p|Crocalor}}, and {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} in order to battle an {{p|Entei}} the Rising Volt Tacklers believed to be one of the Six Heroes. Using his speed and agility, Captain Pikachu kept the other Pokémon protected from Entei's powerful attacks. Although everyone managed to prove their strength to Entei, neither Pagogo nor the other Heroes resonated with it, confirming that Entei was not the one that belonged to Lucius.

In ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', Captain Pikachu battled [[Lucius's Gouging Fire]] and was able to help the rest of the younger members' Pokémon pass its trial, eventually earning Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined the fight against Black Rayquaza, holding his own against the Legendary Pokemon and even managing to singlehandedly land a direct hit with Volt Tackle, but he was ultimately defeated by {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Captain Pikachu partnered with Charizard in a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel's Umbreon and {{p|Beheeyem}}. After Pikachu revealed his {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Hidden Ability]], Spinel had his Beheeyem use {{m|Skill Swap}} to acquire it, effectively rendering Pikachu's damage-dealing moves useless; in the process, Pikachu received {{a|Telepathy}}. Knowing Lightning Rod would have Beheeyem teleporting in front of incoming {{type|Electric}} moves, Friede was able to create a plan: Pikachu targeted Umbreon with a Thunder Punch, luring Beheeyem into getting near, while Charizard {{Tera}}stallized and unleashed a {{type|Dark}} {{m|Tera Blast}} in their direction, which knocked out Beheeyem and left Umbreon barely standing. Due to Telepathy's effect, Pikachu was able to dodge its ally's attack and soon finished off the remaining opponent with a Volt Tackle. However, the battle left Friede's Pokémon exhausted, and in the [[HZ087|next episode]], the two weakened Pokémon went berserk due to the [[Laquium]]'s mist and attacked each other, knocking each other out and forcing Friede to [[recall]] them.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Captain Pikachu, Friede, and Charizard were caught in a heavy gust of wind as they were trying get aboard the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Cap to safety before he and Charizard were blown off the airship. Captain Pikachu and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that Exceed had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways. One year later, it was revealed that Cap, now wearing Friede's goggles, was being taken care of by Roy.

=====Traveling with Roy and the Rising Volt Tacklers=====
[[File:Captain Pikachu and Roy.png|250px|thumb|Captain Pikachu and Roy]]
As revealed in ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]'', Captain Pikachu accompanied Roy to his travels to [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region to learn about [[Mega Evolution]], and occasionally engaged in battle whenever Roy required him to, but mostly remained on the sidelines to allow Roy and his Pokémon to undergo their much-desired training.

In ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again (Part One)]]'', Captain Pikachu battled alongside Roy and [[Ult]]'s {{p|Sableye}} against a {{p|Slaking}} affected by Laquium.

In ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Captain Pikachu discovered that [[Friede]] and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} were still alive, and soon joined the other [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] in celebrating with renewed hope.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Captain Pikachu was used alongside the rest of Roy, Liko, and [[Ult]]'s Pokémon to battle against five of the Six Heroes, who were under the influence of the Super [[Strong Sphere]]s. Together, they stalled for time to allow Pagogo to purify the Laquium away from the heroes' bodies, but the Explorers used the Super Strong Spheres once more on them. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], despite its efforts, Captian Pikachu gets knocked out by Gouging Fire when he attempted to protect Ult from the Paradox Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', Captain Pikachu watched as the Rising Volt Tacklers worked together to stop Friede's spaceship from crash-landing on the ground after its parachute system failed. They failed, however, and just as the spaceship started to fall towards the ground, Captain Pikachu desperately rushed towards it with Volt Tackle in an attempt to catch it, but fell short of reaching it. Thankfully, Pagogo fired off a [[Terastal energy]] sphere towards Captain Pikachu that allowed him to {{Tera}}stallize into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], which in turn allowed him to fly towards Friede and catch the spaceship with his hands. With Roy's help, Captain Pikachu redirected the spaceship right into the Brave Olivine's invisible barrier. After Friede reunited with his friends, Captain Pikachu ran towards him with Volt Tackle, smashing him against the invisible barrier. With tears in his eyes, Cap reunited with his {{pkmn|Trainer}} after over a year. When Friede [[HZ122|revealed]] that he needed to return to [[Hoenn]] to finish his prior business, he left Captain Pikachu under Roy's care again.

In [[HZ124]], Captain Pikachu teamed up with Roy's Lucario and Ult's Sableye to help Roy, Ult, Amethio, and the girls mission to save the remaining Six Heroes from the Explorers, as they battle the grunts. Despite the three defeating the grunts, Captain Pikachu was in no shape to continue the mission, as he watched their efforts, even into the [[HZ125|next episode]].

In [[HZ133]], Captain Pikachu went with [[Ann]], Liko, and Diana on the latter's {{p|Arcanine}} to go further in Laqua while Dot, {{an|Nemona}}, and [[Penny]] stayed behind to battle the Explorers. In the [[HZ134|next episode]], Captain Pikachu, Ann, Liko, and Diana meet up with Amethio, [[Onia]], and [[Zirc]], as they worked together to help the Laquium affected Pokémon when Spinel activated his upgraded Laquium-activating machines. Captain Pikachu with Pagogo's help destroyed the machines and the latter purified the Laquium from the Pokémon. After Zygarde, Onia, and Zirc took the Pokémon somewhere safe, Captain Pikachu, Ann, Liko, and Diana meet up with their friends. Captain Pikachu and the group then encounter Spinel, [[Rubina]], and [[Indi]].

In [[HZ135]], Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process, until Coral sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the {{pkmn|category|Intertwining Pokémon}}'s place. However, Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Captain Pikachu subsequently teamed up with his friends to take down the Laquium Core. In the [[HZ136|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined his friends in helping Pagogo erase the Laquium Core for good after the Black Rayquaza and [[White Zygarde]] used Mega Evolution to make an opening for them to do so. After the threat with Laquium was over, Captain Pikachu decided to stay with the Rising Volt Tacklers and go on new adventures instead of going with Friede when he returned to work for Exceed, as they are now free to fly into the sky without worry, after having their name cleared with the public.

In [[HZ141]], Friede used Captain Pikachu in a [[Unite Battle]] against the [[Shining Oceans]] team, along with Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ult's Pokémon. During the match, Captain acted as the group's leader. This caused members of the opposing team to try and focus their attacks on Pikachu at certain points in the battle. After accumulating enough energy to turn the tide in favor of the Rising Volt Tacklers, Captain Pikachu and {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} were responsible for scoring the final point, giving the victory to the Rising Volt Tacklers.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:Captain Pikachu allergy.png|thumb|left|250px|Captain Pikachu's "allergy" to being called cute]]
Captain Pikachu is often seen with [[Friede]] and shares a close bond with him. However, the two can disagree at times, which has led them to clash and butt heads with each other. Despite this, Captain Pikachu and Friede trust each other enough to know their intentions, as they would devise a plan, even though they would sometimes ad lib the plan. His closeness with Friede is shown again in ''[[HZ121|The Catcher in the Sky]]'', when he used {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him and sent him crashing into the Brave Olivine's barrier, and almost cried with tears in his eyes seeing his trainer as Friede apologized to Cap for leaving him all alone, a complete contrast to his usual composed and mature demeanor. In addition to Friede, Captain Pikachu seems to be great friends with {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, as he enjoys hanging out with it and would usually train with it whenever they could. Ever since he had been placed in [[Roy]]'s care, the Electric Mouse Pokémon has become close to him as well. Like Friede, Captain Pikachu is especially fond of Liko and Roy, often praising them and their Pokémon when they achieve a certain goal.
[[File:Captain Pikachu crying.png|thumb|250px|Captain Pikachu crying upon seeing Friede again for the first time in over a year]]
Captain Pikachu is shown to be diligent and responsible, as he seems to take his position of captain seriously, being easily distinguished from the rest of his {{p|Pikachu|species}} for wearing a captain's beret outside of battles. Captain Pikachu is also intelligent and powerful, and has been shown to battle on equal terms with [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] several times. In ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', his intelligence was at full display, as Captain Pikachu managed to figure out from the battle style alone that his opponent was not the one he and Friede were looking for. Pikachu has also been shown to be independent, capable of battling competently without the need of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s commands. In his time with Roy, Pikachu had no problem listening to his temporary caretaker's commands, and proved to be reliable backup to Roy's Pokémon when fighting strong [[wild Pokémon]], such as ones afflicted by [[Laquium]]. Compared to other Pikachu like [[Ash's Pikachu]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, Captain Pikachu prefers using [[Physical move|physical]] {{t|Electric}} [[move]]s like {{m|Volt Tackle}} and fighting at close range. When cooperating with others, Pikachu is shown to be selfless and willing to shield his partners from harm, as shown in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'' when he took a direct hit from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Entei}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to protect [[Roy's Crocalor]]. In the same battle, Captain Pikachu was shown to have above-average stamina for his species, being able to withstand a {{status|burn}} from Sacred Fire and keep fighting.

As co-leader of both the Pokémon that belong to Friede's teammates and the group that live on the [[Brave Olivine]], Captain Pikachu usually keeps things in order with both groups. Captain Pikachu has been shown to be friendly with both people and Pokémon, and he is welcoming to new members, as shown in ''[[HZ030|Slip and Crash! A Mystery Pokémon?!]]'', when he, along with the Pokémon living on the Brave Olivine and some of his Trainer's teammates' Pokémon, welcomed a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Polteageist}} to the group. This is shown again in [[HZ139]], when Captain Pikachu welcomed a wild {{p|Ditto}} to the group after seeing some of the Pokémon living on the Brave Olivine and his Trainer's teammates' Pokémon have befriended it. In addition, Captain Pikachu is protective of the airship, as seen in ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', when he attacked Roy after he caught him sneaking around it. With Friede absent, Captain Pikachu has served as a more mature voice of reason among the group, sometimes helping to calm tempers in an argument.

Captain Pikachu is characterized by usually wearing a sassy expression on his face, and has a habit of standing on his tail, especially when he is sitting on the chair at the captain's deck. As revealed in ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Captain Pikachu has a kind of "allergy": when he is called "cute" or when this characteristic is noticed, he starts sneezing and ends up losing focus on what he was doing. Despite his usual serious demeanor, Captain Pikachu does enjoy having fun and doing various activities with his friends, such as surfing with [[Murdock]] in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''.

Captain Pikachu also displayed great physical strength when he was able to lift Friede's spaceship with his new Tera Flying typing and managed to land it within the Brave Olivine's Force Field on the Battlefield, showing Captain Pikachu's strength is beyond that of a normal Pikachu. Captain Pikachu had a dream of flying, having used Volt Tackle to get up to the sky everyday [[HZ018|prior]] to meeting Friede and enjoys looking out on the Brave Olivine.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When Ash and friends hear of a virtually undefeatable trainer operating nearby, they seek her out, only to see first Brock's Vulpix and then Ash's Cyndaquil take heavy abuse from her Skarmory—despite its disadvantage against the Fire element.

==Plot==
After exiting the [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} bumps into a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} holding a {{p|Growlithe}} in his hands. He warns Ash to avoid an old mountain bridge because of a tough Trainer, but Ash decides to go anyway. As {{ashfr|the group}} discusses which Pokémon the Trainer might be using to be so tough, {{TRT}} overhears the conversation and decides to snatch the Pokémon once they are weakened during the {{pkmn|battle}}. Once they reach the destination, {{an|Misty}} spots a young girl. When {{an|Brock}} begins flirting with her, she identifies herself as [[Miki]] and challenges him to a battle, surprising Brock with her determination.

Miki instructs Brock to send out a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, explaining she is trying to get her {{p|Skarmory}} to be stronger and beat any type of Pokémon; even its weaknesses like Fire-types. Miki sends out Skarmory while Brock sends out his only Fire-type Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}. The battle starts with Skarmory making a dust cloud in Vulpix's face while it swoops back into the air. Before Skarmory can attack, Vulpix uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, only to miss because of Skarmory using {{m|Agility}}. Vulpix then starts using its own Agility to flee from Skarmory. However, Skarmory strikes it with {{m|Steel Wing}}, and Vulpix is knocked out. Miki asks Brock if he has any more Fire-type Pokémon. Ash steps in and says that he has one, but he boasts that it might be too hot for her Skarmory to handle.

The match starts, and Ash sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}} who is already yawning. Skarmory approaches with {{m|Fury Attack}}, but Cyndaquil dodges. Next, Cyndaquil tries to get its flames going but gets attacked by {{m|Swift}}. Cyndaquil's Agility helps it dodge most of the Fury Attacks except for the final one. Cyndaquil finally gets its flames going and breaths a Flamethrower, but the attack misses. Skarmory's Swift attack hits again. Skarmory swoops down for a Steel Wing, when Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower, missing yet again. Just as Skarmory is about to attack, two claws appear and grab the two Pokémon. Team Rocket recites their {{motto}} and begins to fly off in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Miki notices Skarmory is wriggling around and orders it to use Swift on the cable. Skarmory manages to escape, though its wings are still pinned to its body so Brock jumps to Skarmory's aid, only to be crushed under its weight. With Cyndaquil still captive, Ash and Pikachu continue to chase after Team Rocket. Skarmory later appears and slices through the balloon with a Steel Wing attack, which sends Team Rocket blasting off. Ash manages to catch Cyndaquil and retrieves it from its cage.

At night, everyone returns to Miki's house to enjoy a home-cooked meal prepared by Brock. Miki is impressed by Brock's culinary skills, and Brock tells Miki that he would happily cook for her if she traveled with him. Misty pulls Brock aside by the ear and scolds him for the flirting comment. Ash asks Miki about her training regime, and she explains that she intensely trains alongside Skarmory. By morning, Ash and Cyndaquil run uphill through the fog in an attempt to become stronger. Once they reach the hilltop, Ash has Cyndaquil practice its best {{m|Tackle}} attack on him. Ash turns his attention to Cyndaquil's flame, but after a while, he decides to practice its Agility attack. Afterward, Ash has Cyndaquil use another Tackle on him, and this time it is powerful enough to knock Ash into a nearby apple tree. Ash's attention then turns to breakfast and as he goes to pick several apples he also disturbs a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Beedrill}}. Soon, Ash and Cyndaquil are running from an entire swarm. Ash trips over, but Cyndaquil rushes to defend its Trainer and fires several Flamethrowers to ward off the Beedrill. Ash is impressed by Cyndaquil's newfound control and has it practice its Flamethrower on some flying targets.

Meanwhile, Brock, Misty, and Miki have enjoyed a leisurely morning. Ash's friends watch Miki brushes her Skarmory's wings, and soon Ash returns from his special training. Ash challenges Miki to a [[rematch]] and she happily accepts the challenge. After withstanding three {{m|Steel Wing}}s, Cyndaquil manages to defeat Skarmory using {{m|Flamethrower}}. Ash is thrilled that his training has paid off. Miki thanks the group for the experience and she adds that she wishes to travel around and battle [[Gym Leader]]s. Ash looks forward to seeing her in the [[Silver Conference]] as he and his friends wave goodbye.

Talk:Aim to Be a Pokémon Master

2026-06-11T15:25:03Z

Kikugi: /* Translation of Lyrics */

I believe in English the title was simply "To Be a Master", although I may be mistaken... [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 15:22, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

That would be the title of the first English opening theme song (although I am under the impression the "correct" spelling is 2BA Master), which is not in any reasonable sense an adaptation or translation of this song. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 15:27, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
:Incorrect. As far as I know, there is no title for the English version, and it's just known as "Pokémon Theme". 2BA Master is a completely different song from the CD of the same name. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 17:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Moved because "be" is a verb, not an article or preposition, and thus should be capitalized. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 23:58, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== I was wondering? ==

Why is Pikachu's Japanese name spelled ぴかちゅう?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 01:14, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:Likely someone typed in using an IME and didn't notice that Pokémon names are written in katakana. Anyways, I'll fix it. ;-) [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 15:08, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

==Variant 1==
Someone posted the variants of this pre-Porygon and post-Porygon I think... "Variant 1" in not the Pre-Porygon picture... [[User:JacobTheDoduo|JacobTheDoduo]] ([[User talk:JacobTheDoduo|talk]]) 20:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

==Clips from SM Episodes==
When I saw the movie 20 version of this song, I saw that it contained clips from [[SM001]], [[SM004]], [[SM014]], [[SM015]], [[SM020]], [[SM021]], [[SM022]], [[SM026]], [[SM027]] and [[SM030]]. Should we add that to the article? Regards --[[User:TruckBusTrain|TruckBusTrain]] ([[User talk:TruckBusTrain|talk]]) 14:33, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

== Translation of Lyrics ==

Does the first lyrics （ポケモン　ゲットだぜーッ！） really means (I'll get you, Pokémon!)? 
When Pocket Monsters was broadcasted in Taiwan, CTV used the Japanese opening theme. They translated （ポケモン　ゲットだぜーッ！） as 「我捉到神奇寶貝了」 in Chinese subtitles, which means 'I have successfully caught a Pokémon'. 
Which one is translated correctly?--[[User:Tony Ng|Tony ]] ([[User talk:Tony Ng|talk]]) 06:14, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

:I tried multiple translators and they all gave the same answer: ''I caught a Pokémon!'' ''[[User:DaylightOrSomething|Daylight]]'' 10:17, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
::"Get" in Pokémon context means "catch", specifically, in Japanese the English word "get" (rendered as ゲット) is used, which Bulbapedia usually translates as "get". [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 11:27, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
:::So ''I got a Pokémon'' then? ''[[User:DaylightOrSomething|Daylight]]'' 13:24, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
::::Well Ash usually said this right after catching a new Pokémon, so it usually means past tense, but maybe future makes more sense here to show how ambitious he - and the song - is. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 15:24, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Talk:AZ

2026-06-11T11:51:57Z

Kikugi: /* Spoiler alert? */

== Jotun? ==

Is it possible that AZ might be based of a Jotun? (forgot how to spell it.) For those who don't know, they are giants that exist in Norse myth, which various aspects of X and Y are based off.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 00:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

AZ does not have much in common with Jotnar from Norse mythology. Jotnar were not necessarily huge like giants in other mythologies, and they were masters of magic. They could be the size of a man or a mountain or anything in between. They could transform into animals and make illusions. They are also the same race as the Norse gods. In Norse mythology, the difference between Jotnar and gods is the difference between different families; if you were a Jotun and married a god, you were treated as a god for marrying into the family.--[[User:Dunkleosteus|Dunkleosteus]] ([[User talk:Dunkleosteus|talk]]) 01:54, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

== AZ's Floette ==
Is AZ's Floette is the same as the [[Floette]] that was revealed by a hacker a few weeks back? - {{unsigned|Sage1661}}
**Possibly, but it can't be posted unless it's comfirmed officially.[[User:BraviaryGirl23|BraviaryGirl23]] ([[User talk:BraviaryGirl23|talk]]) 00:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

== Spoiler alert? ==

I was thinking that we could have a toned downed version of the article. Both me and several friends were spoiled just by browsing through. [[User:Bobosmith01|~Bobo]] ([[User talk:Bobosmith01|talk]]) 22:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
:This is an encyclopedia for the Pokemon series, which features detailed information on the characters of said series. Also, the game has been out for a month and a half, going on two, so it's not our fault that you got spoiled. Do you have a suggestion as to how we can tone the article down? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:13, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
::If you don't want spoilers, don't look at the article. Simple as that. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 23:37, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
:::It's really unnecessary for the very first piece of information provided in the article their alive status. I'd wager one of the top reasons people would visit this page is to refresh their memory from the last game. That's a huge reason people visit any entertainment wikia. which is why most of them put that information collapsed at the in bottom of the infobox. [[User:Jimid|Jimid]] ([[User talk:Jimid|talk]]) 05:47, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
::::If they want to just "refresh their memory", then they should only look at X & Y sections (which are marked as such), and not at the infobox which would obviously contain THE MOST RECENT information, and that includes something to be spoiled about. And even if we collapsed his alive status, the fact we did would imply there's something to hide, so anyone would still realize his status is not "alive". [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 11:51, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

== Battle Music ==

Since according to the trivia AZ's battle music is that of the Gym Leader battle style, even though he's classed as a Pokemon Trainer. It may be a hint that if & when Pokemon Z comes out, he will be a Gym Leader. [[User:Frahaleah|Frahaleah]] 19:14, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
:That's speculation. The Bulbagarden Forums would be a better place to discuss that. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 19:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

==Beaten==
Just out of curiosity, what happens if you lose to him during the credits? I have looked around and most people have said that even if he beats you, the game will react as if you won and events will play as normal. If this is the case, should it be mentioned that AZ is the only trainer you can lose to and not have to return to a Pokemon Center immediately after (White out). [[User:Darkcloud1111|'''''Darkcloud1111''''']][[User talk:Darkcloud1111|'''~Fastest Hero Alive''']] 10:43, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

:I don't think he's the only trainer you can lose too. I lost to Korrina in the Mega Evolution battle in my second playthough and didn't white out. She still gave me the mega ring and Lucario like normal. --[[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] ([[User talk:Morgil27|talk]]) 07:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

== Name made of just letters ==

I changed that line of trivia to state only capital letters. I know what the intent is, but I'm pretty sure all human characters' names are made of just letters. It needs to be reworded in a way which both uses the original intent, as well as being accurate.

For the record, I pronounce the name like Auhz, not like A-Z. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 05:56, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== Backstory conflict? ==

-''He succeeded, but he was unable to overcome his despair and turned the machine into a weapon'' (Under The Games section)

-''AZ built the ultimate weapon to revive her, and succeeded.'' (Under Pokémon)

Was AZ's (initial) intention to make a weapon or to make a revival machine? It's unclear. The first quote states that the device was a revival machine that turned into a weapon, while the second states that the device was always a weapon. [[User:Partone|Partone]] ([[User talk:Partone|talk]]) 19:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Partone

== Origin ==

Should a probable origin be added to the trivia section?
Mentioning that he might be based on the character {{wp|Ashwatthama}} for the Hindu Epic {{wp|Mahabharata}}. The simmilarities include:

1) Both used an incredibly powerful weapon, in the case of Ashwatthama the Brahmashira (on Wikipedia)/Brahmastra (in popular culture). The weapon they fired ultimately ended the war.

2) Both committed serious crimes, Ashwatthama in the form of attacking the Pandava camp at night, against the rules of Kurukshetra War and firing Brahmastra toward the womb of the Uttara, the daughter-in-law of Arjuna.

3) He was also cursed for 3000 year. Though AZ was not directly cursed, the leaving of [[Floette]] acted more-or-less as a curse.

''Ashwatthama not knowing how to take back the Brahmastra,instead directs the weapon towards the womb of the pregnant Uttara in an attempt to end the lineage of the Pandavas. The angered Pandavas try to kill Ashwatthama, but the Supreme lord Sri Krishna curses that for 3000 years ,he will suffer to the excessive amount but still he will not die, his skin will start to melt but still he will not die, nobody will come in front of him.''-Text directly from Wikipedia.

4) Both committed a form of massacre, AZ by firing the weapon and Ashwatthama by the attack at night.--[[User:Anishdeb|Anishdeb]] ([[User talk:Anishdeb|talk]]) 18:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

== Add Pokémon Legends: Z-A? ==

It is presumable that AZ will appear in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Should it be added to the article? --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 23:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
:This would be considered {{bp|speculation policy|speculation}}, which is generally avoided on Bulbapedia. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:30, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

== Floette ==

Should we split AZ's Floette into it's own article now that Z-A's out? --[[User:DHP613|'''DHP''']][[User talk:DHP613|'''613''']] 14:08, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

:I think it's important enough. It's a unique Pokémon that has a story role, appears in two games, and even has its own Mega Evolution. I'm kind of baffled it doesn't already have it's own page. [[User:SpaceDimentio|SpaceDimentio]] ([[User talk:SpaceDimentio|talk]]) 19:21, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

== Taunie/Urbain Finding him after he passed away ==

Should it be mentioned that it is Taunie/Urbain who finds AZ after he passed away? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:46, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Pokémon Dream World

2026-06-08T14:50:19Z

Kikugi: /* Updates and history */ misplaced word

{{redirect|Dream World|the Korean ending theme|The Dream World}}
[[File:Pokémon Dream World logo.png|thumb|300px|Dream World logo]]
The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') was a browser-based online game that connected to {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. Operated via the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website, the Dream World allowed players to send a Pokémon to the internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website like a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

The Dream World was shut down on January 14, 2014, alongside all other services for Generation V games.

==Access==
Players were able to access the Dream World by creating an account at [[Pokémon.com]] for international players, at the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website for Japanese players, or at the Pokémon Korean site for Korean players. To have full access to one's account, players first had to send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their [[C-Gear]]'s only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players had full access to the Global Link site. An account could only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.

When doing certain actions for the first time, players were given a tutorial by [[Fennel]]. They were then able to explore the rest of the Dream World on their own. With the reopening of the Global Link site after the release of international versions of Black and White, players who had Japanese accounts prior to the reopening were given tutorials once again. Players were also given the tutorial again when using a computer that they have not used for visiting the Dream World before, as it stores tutorial completion locally in a {{wp|local shared object}}.

On the player's first visit to the Dream World, they received five of one of the {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}} from Fennel; this is the only way, besides Share Shelves, to obtain these {{Berries}}. Repeating the tutorial did not re-award these Berries.

Due to the number of people accessing the site at one time, players were given only one hour and five minutes to access the Dream World every 20 hours. After an hour elapsed, the player would receive a warning once a minute telling them that their time was almost up. On the fifth minute alert, the site would ask the player to leave the Dream World with no option to continue playing.

The website was {{DL|Global Link|Maintenance|occasionally under maintenance}}, prohibiting access.

===Continuing===
If a player accessed the Dream World after the 20 hours waiting period without having woken up their Pokémon, the player could continue exploring the Dream World with the Pokémon from the last visit still at the Tree of Dreams. If a Pokémon was picked from the Tree of Dreams, the player was not allowed to access any of the Island of Dream's areas, as they had a Pokémon still ready to be sent to the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]; however, the player could still explore their and other player's homes. Whatever water that wasn't used in the watering can for Berries was preserved and was not renewed until a Pokémon was woken up.

Any point accumulation during these continued games counted toward the total of [[#Dream Points|Dream Points]] that would lead to a Pokémon's level-up once awoken via the C-Gear, including the points gained by logging into the Global Link once a day.

==Features==
===Home===
[[File:Dream Castle.png|thumb|300px|Outside the home]]
Players owned a home they could customize in the Dream World, similarly to [[Secret Base]]s. Players were able to decorate the three rooms inside the house with [[Décor]], or switch the look of the house.

At the doorstep was the Footprint Mat, which showed the Pokémon that visited the player's home. When there was a pending Dream Pal request for the player, the Footprint Mat would glow. The footprint mat could be used to accept Dream Pal requests and visit the homes of players who visited the player's home.

====Treasure Chest====
The house itself contained the Treasure Chest, where players could see the [[item]]s they had in the Dream World and send them to Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 via the [[Entralink]]. When sent to a Generation V game, a little boy standing to the left of the entrance to the Entree Forest would give all items transferred, calling them "Dream Remnants". Up twenty of the same item could be sent to the player's game at once.

Starting from May 1, 2012, if the player did not visit the Pokémon Dream World for 100 days, the Tree of Dreams would begin to convert {{Berries}} in the Treasure Chest into Dream Points. However, it left behind one of each type of Berry.

====Friend Board====
The function of the Friend Board was for players to see which Pokémon they were going to send back to the [[Generation V]] game, as well as showing the ones they sent before. Both Pokémon obtained through making a wish at the Tree of Dreams and Pokémon obtained through [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotions]] were stored here.

If there were fifty Pokémon on the Friend Board that had not been sent to the game yet, the Island of Dreams couldn’t be visited. Due to players only being able to have one Pokémon from the Tree of Dreams on the Friend Board at a time, this would require the player to have 49 Pokémon from [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|Pokémon Global Link promotions]] on the Friend Board that were not sent to the Entree Forest; therefore, this circumstance was extremely unlikely to occur. At one time before the international release of the Dream World, only fifty Pokémon could be transferred from a Global Link account; this was removed in 2010.

===Garden===
[[File:DW Garden Diglett.png|300px|thumb|Diglett digging another row]]
In the Dream World, players had a garden in the area to the left of their home in which they can grow Berries. Due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in [[Unova]], this would be the only way to grow Berries in the [[Generation V]] games. Berries took 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in [[Generation IV]]. Additionally, Berries remained in the fruit-bearing stage until picked; they would never fell off and resprout. The number of Berries yielded depended on the condition of the soil when fully grown.

A Berry couldn’t be watered as soon as it was planted; it had to dry out first before it could be watered. A Berry plant also couldn’t be watered when it is fully grown. Since the April 2011 update, players could water others' Berries up to 20 times per dream; prior to this update, there was no limit. There was no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

Two rows were available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. {{p|Diglett}} would dig additional rows when the player obtained a certain number of Dream Points. Players could have up to a maximum of ten rows.

===Share Shelf===
To the right of the player's home was the Share Shelf, a stand where items could be placed. Other players could swap their own items for items placed on a Share Shelf. A player was not able to trade for an item that they already owned or that they traded to the shelf, as of the April 2011 update.

===Island of Dreams===
[[File:DW Tree of Dreams.png|thumb|300px|The Tree of Dreams]]
Players could get to the island through the Dream Bridge. The island had several areas players may explore, where they could find items and befriend Pokémon. Usually only pre-Generation V Pokémon would appear, but Generation V Pokémon became available if the player performed a Game Sync with Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Only one Pokémon could be befriended and sent to the player's game per visit, and this Pokémon was selected from the Tree of Dreams by making a wish and placed on the Friend Board. Items could either be sent to the player's games, traded to other players via Share Shelf, or berries could used to buy [[Décor]].

More areas were unlocked as players obtained Dream Points. If the player had access to more than one area, they were sent to a random area every time they go to the island (after September 28, 2011, all players had access to multiple areas). If a player obtained the necessary amount of points to unlock an area, they can access the area even without logging out of the Dream World or Global Link. From June 20, 2012 onwards, the [[type]] of the Pokémon sleeping influenced the chances of which area the player will be sent to, excluding {{t|Dragon}} types. For example, {{type|Ice}} Pokémon increased the probability of visiting {{dwa|Icy Cave}}. [[Fennel's Munna]]—which can only be used in the demo—does not influence the chances of being sent to any particular area.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120629052712/http://en.pokemon-gl.com/support/help/world/821/ About the Island of Dreams] Pokémon Global Link</ref>

After exploring an area, players would go to the Tree of Dreams, where they could choose to leave a [[Berry]] in the tree and make a wish to choose one of their befriended Pokémon to send to the [[Entralink]]. If they did, they could not revisit the Island of Dreams until the next trip. However, if they chose not to make a wish and befriend a Pokémon, they had the choice of visiting the island again to look for more Pokémon and items.

Similar to {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Victini}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}, all Pokémon found in the Dream World couldn’t be {{Shiny}}. A Pokémon found in the Dream World would always have its [[Hidden Ability]], {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|if it had one in Generation V}}. Pokémon found in the Dream World had about a 25% chance of being female regardless of gender distribution, unless the Pokémon is locked to one gender or is gender unknown. All Pokémon obtained in the Dream World would be at level 10, unless they evolve at a level above 10, in which case they would be at that level; certain [[legendary Pokémon]] would also be at levels above 10.

Until November 2010, players could access the other features of the Dream World, even when they did not have a Pokémon in the Dream World, but could not access the Island of Dreams unless they had a Pokémon in the Dream World. However, this feature was eventually removed; players could only do this if they had not used {{DL|C-Gear|Game Sync}} yet.

Prior to the October 2012 update, after entering the Island of Dreams five to seven times, players would find nothing on the island. Since the update this limit was instead set at twelve visits.

====Areas====
The areas accessible from the Dream World had different requirements between connecting with [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black and White 1]] game cards and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black and White 2]] game cards. These areas were more likely to be visited by Pokémon of certain types.

====Mini-games====
{{main|List of Pokémon Dream World mini-games}}
After finding a Pokémon, players were given an option to participate in a mini-game in order to befriend it. The game to be played depended on the encountered Pokémon.

===Dream Pals===
A player could become Dream Pals with another player by visiting their house and sending a Dream Pal request. The other player's footprint mat would then glow until the request was accepted, was deleted, or expired. If the other player accepted, the two players would become Dream Pals, and a rainbow bridge would link the two players' homes on their Dream Pal maps. Dream Pal requests lasted only a week before they were automatically deleted. There was a limit of 50 Dream Pals, including pending outgoing Dream Pal requests, per player. (The limit was 20 prior to the October 2012 update, and 10 prior to the July 2011 update.)

When visiting another player's house, it was possible to view their Dream Pal map, and go directly to the houses of other Dream Pals of that player. This allowed the creation of large networks of players.

In addition, on the player's Dream Pal map, a random player's house would appear in the bottom right-hand corner, as long as the privacy settings were set to "everyone". This player was randomly selected every time the player opened the Dream Pal map.

Prior to the April 2011 update, Dream Pals were only those that players had added to their Pal Pads.

===Dream Points===
[[File:Pkmn Dream Points.png|thumb|Viewing total Dream Points]]
Dream Points were earned by doing certain actions in the Dream World. Similar to earning [[Watt]]s in the [[Pokéwalker]], gaining Dream Points allowed players to unlock more areas on the Island of Dreams. On December 21, 2010, all Dream Point requirements were halved permanently.

Total Dream Points obtained could be viewed by accessing "My Page".

Prior to the April 2011 update, the following mechanics were used in gaining points:

|}{{-}}

The more Dream Points that were accumulated in a single play session, the happier the dreaming Pokémon would become. This is reflected in the icons which appear above the Pokémon when it is hovered over with the mouse.

==Waking up==
[[File:DW Waking up.png|thumb|300px|Seeing the befriended Pokémon]]
Right before saving the game and finishing a session, players were given the option to meet the Pokémon friends they met and obtain any items they collected. These items would become available immediately after waking a Pokémon up using the {{DL|C-Gear|Game Sync}} function. Anything materialized from the Dream World into a copy of Pokémon Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 could be found within the [[Entree Forest]] in the [[Entralink]]. Waking up Pokémon also reset mechanics such as the watering can being refilled.

If the player earned 500 points between tucking the Pokémon in and waking it up, the Pokémon's level increased unless the Pokémon was already at level 100.

Waking up also initiated any Pokémon Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 customizations made on the {{pkmn|Global Link}} website.

If the player selected the choice to exit the Dream World and keep the Pokémon asleep, then did not reenter the game before the hour was over, the option to wake the player's Pokémon was available on the main page of the Global Link website. Whatever was ready to be ported into the player's Pokémon Black or White version (Pokémon, items, customizations) would be carried over through the Game Sync.

==Demo==
A demo is available where the player uses [[Fennel's Munna]], though the player has access only with the following features:
* The player can enter the Dream World as if it has a game Pokémon Black or White registered. No Black 2 or White 2 Pokémon Dream World Pokémon appears on demo mode.
* Fennel's Munna's {{t|Psychic}} type does not influence the area visited, but can't enter the islands that depend on Badges for release.
* The player can befriend a Pokémon every 20 hours. After choosing a Pokémon, the Dream Bridge will be closed by that time, regardless of the time the player entered the Dream World. Pokémon can accumulate on "Pokémon to take" Board, but the player can only befriend up to 10 before registering a game card.
* The player can plant Berries, but can't use the Share Shelf and cannot visit or be visited by anyone.
* The player earns Dream Points normally, including having access to more Berry rows and Pokémon that appear only after a certain Dream Points.
* Only Pokémon and Décor promotions are accessible.

After registering a game, all Pokémon who were friends are passed onto the game, but only 10 are passed every time that a Pokémon wakes up. The Dream Bridge will open only after every Pokémon has been sent to the game. Points, items and Décor purchased are retained.

==Updates and history==
* The Dream World opened on September 18, 2010.
* The Dream World closed on September 19, 2010 due to {{n|Global Link disconnected|excessive traffic}}.
* The Dream World {{n|Pokémon Dream World reopens|reopened}} on October 13, 2010, but to restrict excessive traffic several safeguards were put in place:
** The amount of users accessing the Pokémon Dream World at the same time is restricted.
** Players can only access the Pokémon Dream World one hour a day. The timer starts when the user first accesses the Pokémon Dream World on a given day, and it is not affected by logging in and out.
** After the hour has passed the user must wait 23 hours until the next time they can access the Pokémon Dream World.
* At some point in 2010, the limit that meant that players could only ever send 50 Pokémon from the Friend Board was removed.
* Until November 2010, players could access the Dream World, even if they did not have a Pokémon in the Dream World, but could not access the Island of Dreams unless they have a Pokémon in the Dream World; however, this has since been removed.
* On December 21, 2010, the Dream Point requirements for the {{dwa|Windswept Sky}} and {{dwa|Sparkling Sea}} were both halved permanently, from 5000 to 2500 and 10000 to 5000, respectively.
* On March 18, 2011, the Dream World was {{n|International Pokémon Global Link launch delayed|taken down}} to prepare for its international launch.

** Players can now only water other players' Berries 20 times per trip.
** Players can no longer swap for items on other players' Share Shelves that they already have at least one of in their inventory or placed on that Share Shelf themself.
** On the player's Dream Pal map, a random player's house will appear in the bottom right-hand corner, as long as the privacy settings are set to "everyone".

** The ways in which Dream Points are earned changed.
* On June 30, 2011, the maximum number of Dream Pals on the Dream Pad increased from 10 to 20, and players can now obtain a fifth Berry plot if they have 3500 or more Dream Points.
* On September 28, 2011, the {{dwa|Spooky Manor}} became accessible, and all players automatically have access to it.
* On November 16, 2011, the {{dwa|Rugged Mountain}} became accessible, and all players automatically have access to it.
* On June 5, 2012, the Dream World was taken down to prepare for the Japanese release of {{B2W2}}.
* On June 19, 2012, the Dream World reopened for use.
** Now, if a player does not log in for more than 100 days, the Berries in their Treasure Chest will be converted to Dream Points over time, but one of each type will always be left behind.
** Players now only have to wait 20 hours before they can access the Dream World again, instead of 23.
* On June 22, 2012, the {{dwa|Icy Cave}} became accessible, and all players automatically have access to it.

** "Game Pals" can be visited in-game by clicking "Check Game Pals" in your Dream Pal map
** The number of rows a player can have in their garden was increased from 5 to 10
** The number of Dream Pals a player can have was increased from 20 to 50

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
The Pokémon Dream World was first mentioned in ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]''. It is another [[dimension]] that Pokémon visit when they are asleep. After being sucked into the [[Light Stone]] at the end of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, {{adv|Black}} ended up trapped inside the Pokémon Dream World.

In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} reverted {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} into the [[Dark Stone]], trapping {{adv|N}} inside of it. Shortly after, {{adv|White}} was sucked into the Light Stone. Both were taken to the Pokémon Dream World, where they reunited with Black. In ''[[PS544|Dream World]]'', Black, White, and N escaped from the Dream World as {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} reassumed its true form.
{{-}}

==Trivia==

* The {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Unown}} evolutionary lines are the only non-{{pkmn2|first partner}}, non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}}, non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}} evolutionary lines introduced prior to Generation V that could never be obtained via the Dream World.
** Of these, the Unown evolutionary line is the only one that was never distributed through the Pokémon Global Link in an {{pkmn2|event}}.
* A scientist working for the [[Devon Corporation]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} mentions that he is trying to create a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon, but that he is not succeeding. Likewise, in {{aniseries|RS}}, the Devon Corporation is trying to construct a Dream Visualizer (evident in the episode ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'').
** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he says that [[Fennel|a scientist]] from a [[Unova|faraway region]] is also working on the same project.
* If the player did not have a [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2]] game card in use on their account, when their page is loading, the player was able to see a glimpse of the {{OBP|Medal|Black 2 and White 2}} status screen; this was possible even before Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 were released outside of Japan.

===Dream World art style===
The art style used for the Pokémon Dream World is not exclusive to the site; it has been used in various other parts of the franchise, including {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and [[Pokémon Channel]], before the Dream World even emerged. This artwork continued to be used throughout the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website. The artwork has also been used for spirits in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and badges in the [[Nintendo Badge Arcade]].

Mt. Moon Square

2026-06-07T18:52:00Z

Kikugi: /* Clefairy event */ the shop has been mentioned previously, so a "the" seems to fit better

{{Infobox location

'''Mt. Moon Square''' (Japanese: '''おつきみやまひろば''' ''Mt. Otsukimi Square'') is a small area in [[Kanto]] that can only be found in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It is located in the heights of [[Mt. Moon]] where very few people venture. For adventurers who stumble across the square, there is a small shop that sells a variety of goods and a small, square field where {{p|Clefairy}} are said to perform secret rituals.

{{sign|DP|header}}
{{sign|DP|title|This is Mt. Moon Square.}}
{{sign|DP|Please don’t litter. Put trash}}
{{sign|DP|where it belongs!}}
{{sign|DP|footer}}

==Geography==
Mt. Moon Square sits atop the heights of [[Mt. Moon]]. The area is small and indented, with rugged mountains surrounding the square at all angles, as if the square was a crater from a cosmic impact. There are two entrances into the square; one from the north end and another from the southern side. On the eastern side there is a small shop, where adventurers who stumble across the square can buy a variety of goods. On the western side there is a strange, mysterious square where {{p|Clefairy}} are said to perform secret rituals.

Despite the {{wp|full moon}} being visible only every four weeks in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]], its reflection is visible here ''every'' Monday.

===Shop===
A small shop in the square is open every day from 10:00 am to 5:59 pm. It is there for adventurers who stumble across the secret square. The shop sells a variety of goods, including [[Portraitmail]] in the [[Generation II]] games, which can only be found at the shop.

{{shoprow|{{shopitem|Repel|350}}|{{shopitem|Poké Doll|1000}}}}
{{shopfooter}}

===Clefairy event===
In addition to the shop, there is a small, square field next to the shop. If the {{player}} ventures to the square between {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[Time|night]] at 8:00 pm and {{DL|Days of the week|Tuesday}} [[Time|morning]] at 4:00 am, the player will see two {{p|Clefairy}} dancing around a rock. Once the player enters the square, the Clefairy will be startled and run away, leaving behind [[Kanto]]'s only [[breakable rock]] in the [[Generation II]] games, which hides a [[Moon Stone]]. However, if the player leaves the area (or enters the shop) before smashing the rock, the rock will disappear and there will be no way to get it back until the following Monday.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there will be four Clefairy dancing around a pond with the moon's reflection, with two Clefairy standing aside watching. During the dance, a Clefairy will see the player and all the Clefairy will run away, leaving behind an [[Item|item ball]] with a Moon Stone inside. Similar to its predecessors, if the player leaves the area before picking up the item ball, the item ball will disappear. As well, even if it is still Monday night, the moon will disappear.

If the game is [[save]]d and turned off after the Clefairy event, but before leaving the area, ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Mt. Moon]]'' will still be playing after the game is resumed, the moon's reflection will still be visible in the water, and the shop will still be closed, even if the game is resumed when it is not [[Time|nighttime]].

If the game is saved at Mt. Moon Square without the Clefairy event and turned off, then resumed at the right time for the event, the result depends on the game:

* In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the event will start normally.
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the event will still not be available until the player leaves Mt. Moon Square and returns. Once that is done, the event will start normally (if the player returns within the time required to start the event).

==Trivia==
* Monday, the day on which the Clefairy [[Moon Stone]] event occurs, is traditionally associated with the Moon. In many languages, including all languages in which the [[Generation II]] [[core series]] Pokémon games were released, the word for Monday is derived from the word for the Moon.
* The Clefairy Moon Stone event is [[List of cross-generational references|referenced]] and recreated in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] as a part of a [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|request]].
* A slower rendition of the music theme from Mt. Moon Square is played as the victory theme in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

'''Beldum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダンバル''' ''Dumbber'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 20, which evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
[[File:Beldum AG concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Beldum for {{aniseries|RS}}]]
Beldum is a robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a long body with a set of claws sticking out of its rear end. It has one large, red eye in the center of its nearly spherical head, which is set into a ball-and-socket joint at its front end. A short crest projects from its body and extends over its head.

Even though Beldum is mechanical, it still has emotions, the need to eat, and a way of reproducing. Beldum's body lacks blood, and is instead made of cells that are all magnets. It uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. Beldum sometimes gathers in swarms, communicating with each other telepathically and magnetically and moving in sync. When enraged, it can cause nearby machines to break from its strong magnetism. Beldum can also use its magnetic force to rapidly pull in enemies and then use its sharp claws to harm them. Beldum is scarce in the wild, but it does tend to inhabit areas with {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rugged terrain}}. It anchors itself to a cliff using its hooks when it sleeps.

===Evolution===
Beldum evolves into {{p|Metang}}, which evolves into {{p|Metagross}}.

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

These same Beldum were called upon to defeat the {{p|Mawile}} herd in [[Granite Cave]] when both {{adv|Ruby}} and Steven were attacked by them. Four of Steven's Beldum later formed the party that would unseal the {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}}, which included {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}.

* Beldum's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 190.
* Beldum, along with its evolved forms, are the only non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] to have a catch rate of 3, which is the lowest in existence.
* Beldum's evolutionary line evolves into their next-stage forms the earliest of all the [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]—Beldum into Metang at level 20, and Metang into Metagross at level 45.
* Beldum is the only member of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon evolutionary line that only learns one move by level up.
** In Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|VII}}, this move was {{m|Take Down}}, but in [[Generation VIII]], it was swapped for {{m|Tackle}}, even though Take Down was [[:Category:Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|not removed in the Generation VIII]] games.
* Beldum and its [[Evolution]]s all share both their standard and hidden {{Abilities}} with {{p|Registeel}}.
* In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Beldum is the only in-game event Pokémon that is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that cannot be obtained with repeatable methods without trading or breeding.

===Origin===
Beldum seems to be a magnetic robot based on a {{wp|dumbbell}}. It also resembles a limb of a Metang or Metagross, a reference to how it evolves.

====Name origin====
Beldum and Dumbber may be derived from ''{{wp|dumbbell}}'', a small weight used in weight training.

The [[Pokémon]] ('''{{tt|포켓몬스터|Poket Monseuteo}}''', officially abbreviated as '''{{tt|포켓몬|Poketmon}}''') franchise first reached '''{{wp|South Korea}}''' in 1999, with the first airing of ''[[EP001|Pikachu, I Choose You!]]'' on the {{wp|Seoul Broadcasting System}}. None of the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games were released in South Korea, so it was not until the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} in 2002 that Pokémon games were released in South Korean stores.

==History==
Due to the rocky history between {{wp|Japan–Korea relations|Japan and (South) Korea}}, Japanese cultural imports—such as manga, anime, video games, music, and movies—were banned by the South Korean government after Korean independence at the end of {{wp|World War II}}. This ban would be in effect throughout most of the 1980s and 1990s, particularly when video game consoles began to grow in popularity in Japan and the West. Many Korean companies would find ways around the ban, such as licensing American versions of Japanese consoles; {{wp|SK Hynix|Hyundai Electronics}}, for example, licensed the Western {{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System}} instead of the Japanese {{nw|Family Computer}} (Famicom) and released it as the 현대 컴보이 ''Hyundai Comboy''. However, for other things, including Pokémon, there was no way around the ban; almost all Pokémon-related media of this time period would never officially make its way into South Korea. This included all of the [[Generation I|first generation]] games; if anything Pokémon-related appeared in Korea, it was either a bootleg, a rip-off, or an illegal version.

[[File:PocketMonstersGumEun.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Cover of Pocket Monsters Geum·Eun]]
Eventually, South Korean and Japanese relations had warmed up to the point where the South Korean government's ban on Japanese cultural imports was partially lifted in October 1998<ref>[http://www.jei.org/Restricted/JEIR00/0026w3.html SOUTH KOREA EASES BAN ON JAPANESE CULTURE]</ref>. This in turn finally allowed for the release of some Pokémon titles in South Korea. In particular, the Pokémon animated series first appeared on Korean television in July 1999, while the Pokémon manga series, [[Pokémon Adventures]] (포켓몬스터 스페셜 ''Pocket Monsters Special''), was released in August 1999. The [[Game Boy Color]] was released in December 2000 by 대원씨아이 ''{{wp|Daewon C.I.|Daiwon C.I.}}'', with plans to import the English versions of the [[core series]] Pokémon games.<ref>[https://www.gamemeca.com/view.php?gid=5892 정식유통판 게임보이 컬러, 호응누린다 - 게임메카]</ref> However, it was instead followed by the Korean-language release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (포켓몬스터 금·은 ''Pocket Monsters Geum·Eun'') on April 24, 2002, as a [[Game Boy Color]]-exclusive due to the [[Korean character encoding (Generation II)|inclusion]] of the {{wp|Hangul|Korean language writing system}}.<ref>[https://bbs.ruliweb.com/nin/board/300004/read/13181 한국판 포켓몬 4월말 출시 - 루리웹]</ref> Although Daiwon C.I. imported the [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Game Boy Advance SP]], [[Nintendo GameCube]], [[Nintendo DS]], and [[Game Boy micro]], they did not localize any more Pokémon games, only releasing imported Japanese versions of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}},<ref name="gb">[https://web.archive.org/web/20060623063633/http://newgame.daiwon.co.kr/gameboy/main.jsp 게임보이 게임 리스트 - 대원씨아이 게임 세상]</ref> {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}},<ref>[https://www.gamemeca.com/view.php?gid=45049 대원씨아이, ‘포켓몬 핀볼 루비&사파이어’ 발매 - 게임메카]</ref> {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}},<ref>[https://www.gamemeca.com/game.php?rts=gmview&gmid=g0001984 포켓몬스터 파이어레드/리프그린 - 게임메카]</ref> {{game|Emerald}},<ref name="gb"/> {{g|Dash}},<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050307025636/http://newgame.daiwon.co.kr/viewgame/view.jsp?g_idx=nn2211002 포켓몬 대시 - 대원씨아이 게임 세상]</ref> and {{g|Trozei!}}.<ref>[https://www.newswire.co.kr/newsRead.php?no=120347 대원씨아이, NINTENDO DS용 신작 3종 출시 - 뉴스와이어]</ref> In March 2006, Daiwon C.I. merged with 코암나노바이오 ''{{wp|ko:큐렉소|Koam Nano Bio}}'' as part of a {{wp|reverse takeover}} before being spun off in December; during this period, they imported the [[Nintendo DS Lite]] on July 20<ref>[https://www.newswire.co.kr/newsRead.php?no=169892 NINTENDO DS, 내일 국내 정식 발매 - 뉴스와이어]</ref> and released the Japanese versions of {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} on April 7<ref>[https://www.newswire.co.kr/newsRead.php?no=139759 포켓몬 레인저, 제노사가 I·II　4월 7일 국내 정식 발매 - 뉴스와이어]</ref> and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} on September 29.

In January 2004, the South Korean government completely lifted its ban on Japanese cultural imports<ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2003/dec/28/world/fg-japanculture28 South Korea Makes Way for Anime]</ref>, allowing Nintendo to officially operate in South Korea as 한국닌텐도(주) ''Nintendo of Korea, Inc.'' starting in July 2006,<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/03/nintendo-of-korea-opens-july-7th/ Nintendo of Korea opens July 7th]</ref> though {{wp|Daewon Media}} would continue to distribute both Nintendo hardware and software. 포켓몬코리아 ''Pokémon Korea, Inc.'' would begin its operations a month later<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/en/history/ The Pokémon Company History]</ref>. The first console released by Nintendo of Korea was the [[Nintendo DS Lite]], which was the first Nintendo console to receive a full Korean-language localization. Localized versions of the spin-off games {{g|Dash}}, {{g|Trozei!}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team]] were released in 2007, followed by {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (포켓몬스터 DP 디아루가·펄기아 ''Pocket Monsters DP Dialga·Palkia'') in February 2008. However, it would not be until the release of {{game|Black and White|s}} (포켓몬스터 블랙·화이트 ''Pocket Monsters Black·White'') in 2010 that Korean games would be fully compatible with games from other regions (as [[Generation IV]] cartridges from other regions lack Korean characters).

Since its official release, Pokémon has enjoyed considerable success in South Korea. Releases in Korea have been able to keep pace with Japan and the rest of the world; Korean-language editions of [[Pokémon Adventures]] volumes are generally released in Korea before English editions in North America, new TCG sets are released on par with international releases, and starting with [[Pokémon X and Y]] (포켓몬스터 X・Y ''Pocket Monsters X·Y''), core series games have been released in South Korea at the same time as the rest of the world, with Korean as a language option in all regions. Furthermore, 이현정 ''[[Lee HyunJung|Lee Hyun-jung]]'' is a Korean employee of [[Game Freak]] who designed {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Pignite}}, and {{p|Emboar}}, as well as illustrating a number of cards for the Pokémon TCG. In 2014, the [[2014_World_Championships#Masters_Division_2|Video Game Championship, Masters Division]] winner was '''박세준''' ''Park Se-jun'', the first Korean winner of a Pokémon Worlds event.

==Similarities to foreign versions==
The Pokémon franchise in South Korea is a mix of those released in Japan and North America, and is also uniquely Korean.

Currently, the Korean franchise tends to mirror that of Japan, in the same way the European franchise mirrors that of North America. Some Korean Pokémon names and NPCs are translations or transliterations of their Japanese names; {{p|Sylveon}}'s Korean name 님피아 ''Nimpia'' is based on the Japanese ニンフィア ''Nymphia'' rather than its Western name. Furthermore, event Pokémon distributions in Korea tend to follow similar events in Japan rather than those in Europe and the States; the Japanese [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Year of the Dragon Eggs|Year of the Dragon]] event was also [[List of Wi-Fi Korean event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Year of the Dragon Pokémon|available in Korea]], but was never released in the West. Finally, like the Japanese versions, the "포켓몬스터" logo used on every game changes with each generation, instead of using the same "International Pokémon" logo used in the West.

Other times, it mirrors North America; for example, both the front and back card design for the Pokémon TCG in Korea is based on the North American version of the game. Also, when Ruby & Sapphire was released, the Korean version (as depicted in [[Pokémon Adventures]]) tended to use English names for Pokémon. For example, {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Swellow}}'s Korean names are transliterated from English (테일로 ''Teillo'' and 스왈로 ''Seuwallo'', respectively), as was {{p|Delcatty}} (델케티 ''Delketi'').

Most of the time, however, Pokémon in South Korea has a unique Korean look and feel. Many Pokémon have names unique to Korea, like {{p|Kecleon}} (켈리몬 ''Kellimon''), {{p|Leavanny}} (모아머 ''Moameo''), and {{p|Helioptile}} (목도리키텔 ''Mokdorikitel''), while many of the main characters in the Pokémon franchise are given specifically Korean names: [[Ash Ketchum]] is 한지우 ''Han Ji-woo'', [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are 로사 ''Rosa'' and 로이 ''Roy'', respectively, and [[Lance]] is 목호 ''Mokho''.

For more information on these translated names, see [[list of Korean Pokémon names]].

==Pokémon video games==
[[File:PokemonXY-KoreanBox.png|thumb|left|200px|Cover of Pocket Monsters X·Y]]
[[File:KoreanPGL.png|thumb|right|200px|Korean Pokémon Global Link]]
Due to the South Korean government's ban on Japanese cultural items, none of the [[Generation I|first generation]] games saw an official release in Korea. Once the ban was slightly lifted in 1998, a Korean-language version of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (포켓몬스터 금·은 ''Pocket Monsters Geum·Eun'') would be released in 2002. Unlike previous localizations of Pokémon Gold and Silver, these versions are not playable on the original [[Game Boy]] at all, and display an [[Media:Korean GoldSilver incompatible GB SGB.png|incompatibility message]] if inserted into an original Game Boy, like {{game|Crystal}}<ref>[http://mgaver.tistory.com/122 Hangeru Team (Korean Pokémon blog)]</ref>. However, neither {{game|Crystal}} nor the [[Generation III|third generation]] games were localized into Korean. It wouldn't be until the 2018 release of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] that Koreans would be able to play an official Korean-language version of the original story that appeared in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, albeit as a remake.

Since February 2008, all of the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games have been released in South Korea. Several of the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] Pokémon games have been released in South Korea as well. The [[Generation V|fifth generation]] games would see a release in 2011, and [[Pokémon X and Y]] were released in Korea at the same time as the rest of the world, which has continued with all core series games since.

The Korean version of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] contains unique voices for most of the Pokémon characters, like [[Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)|Pokémon Trainer]] and [[Lucario (Super Smash Bros.)|Lucario]]. Pokémon without unique cries retain their cries from the game's Japanese version.

==={{pkmn2|Event}}s===
Local events have been occurring often in South Korea since the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The events are usually announced on the Korean Pokémon website. With the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, there has been both an official Korean version of the [[Pokémon Global Link]] as well as various Wi-Fi competitions, both International and Local (Korean).

==Pokémon animation==
[[File:Tooniverse logo.png|thumb|left|150px|Tooniverse logo]]
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|right|170px|Cartoon Network logo]]
The Korean dub of the [[Pokémon animated series]] was first aired on July 14, 1999. It is mainly based on the original Japanese version and has continued to do so, independent from the international versions managed by [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Most characters are renamed in the dub; for example, [[Ash Ketchum]] is 한지우 ''Han Ji-woo'', {{an|Misty}} is 최이슬 ''Choi I-seul'', and {{an|Brock}} is 웅 ''Ung''.

In South Korea, the Pokémon animated series debuted on {{wp|SBS TV|SBS}}. Since then, episodes have aired on Tooniverse, CHAMP TV, Animax, Cartoon Network, ANIONE, and Jei TV.

Special episodes, such as ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', have been dubbed as well.

Unlike the other dubs, the Korean dub has banned 20 episodes so far, including the ones banned in Japan. These banned episodes usually included overt references to Japan and Japanese culture, such as ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' and ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. However, most of these episodes were from the [[original series]], with the last unaired episodes (not counting clip shows like [[AG120]] and [[DP120]] or episodes banned in Japan) being from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'': [[AG055]] and [[AG056]]. However, that may have been an oversight, as many of the unaired episodes were released on DVD. Episodes [[EP260]] to [[EP274]] were not aired during the broadcast of the [[original series]]. No official explanation was given for it; the series went off-air after [[EP259]] on November 27, 2002 and resumed with [[AG001]] on July 21, 2003.

The first two [[Pokémon movie]]s were released in theaters on December 23, 2000 and August 11, 2001, respectively. All of the movies from the [[M03|third]] through the [[M11|eleventh]] premiered on television, except for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', which premiered in theaters on July 20, 2006. Following the release of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' in theaters in 2009, a movie has received a theatrical release every year since.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Korean dub's debut in 2024, several special projects were announced:
# The first project, '''''Pokémon: Stories from the Johto Region - The Final Chapter''''' (Korean: '''포켓몬스터: 성도지방 이야기, 최종장'''), is a movie consisting of remastered versions of the previously undubbed [[Silver Conference]] episodes. It was screened in theaters beginning May 1, 2024.<ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/2024_M0 「포켓몬스터: 성도지방 이야기, 최종장」 특설 사이트]</ref> Despite not having been released in Japan, the movie was given a Japanese name (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター: ジョウト地方の物語、最終章''') in the original name field of the {{wp|Korea Media Rating Board}} rating.<ref>[https://ors.kmrb.or.kr/rating/inquiry_mv_view.do?RCV_NO=2438952&KIND=MVTRAIL&GUBUN=N&proc_state_code=Completed 온라인등급분류서비스-등급자료조회 - 영화(ポケットモンスター: ジョウト地方の物語、最終章)]</ref>
# The second project, '''Pokémon Animation Concert''' (Korean: '''포켓몬 애니메이션 콘서트'''), is a concert scheduled to be held at the Lotte Concert Hall on May 10, 2024 at 7:30 PM and on May 11, 2024 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

===Music===

{{incomplete|section|Lacking more information in reference to the music}}
{{main|List of Korean opening themes}}
{{main|List of Korean ending themes}}

Much like the English dub, the Korean dub of the animated series features different openings and endings from that in Japanese. However, many of the songs are directly based on their respective Japanese counterparts, using similar lyrics, style and beat along with sharing the same running time (1 minute and 30 seconds) and debuting episodes.

Several music CDs have been released in South Korea including [[Pocket Monsters OST (Vol. 1)]] in May 2000, [[Pocket Monsters OST (Vol. 2)]] in December 2000, and [[Pocket Monsters AG (New & Best)]] in December 2003.

==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
[[File:ADV1 Expansion Pack Booster Korean.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Korean pack of Pokémon ADV]]
Prior to the DP Era, only two sets of the Trading Card Game were officially printed in Korean. [[Wizards of the Coast]] released {{TCG|Base Set}} in 2000 under the title 포켓몬 트레이딩 카드 게임 ''Pokémon Trading Card Game''. A Korean Pikachu was included in two separate [[World Collection (TCG)|Pikachu World Collection]] promo sets. After Nintendo took over the game in 2003, 대원C&A홀딩스 ''{{wp|Daewon Media|Daiwon C&A Holdings}}'' released {{TCG|ADV Expansion Pack}} in February 2004 and the {{TCG|Treecko Constructed Starter Deck|Treecko}}, {{TCG|Torchic Constructed Starter Deck|Torchic}}, and {{TCG|Mudkip Constructed Starter Deck}}s in July 2004 under the title 포켓몬 카드게임 ''Pokémon Card Game''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20041225040935/http://www.pokemoncard.co.kr/goods/read.cgi?board=shop&y_number=0&nnew=2</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20041225040846/http://www.pokemoncard.co.kr/goods/read.cgi?board=shop&y_number=2&nnew=2</ref>.

With the release of the [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|Diamond and Pearl]] sets, the Korean-language cards were released again under the current title 포켓몬 카드 게임 ''Pokémon Card Game'', starting with 모험의 시작 ''{{KTCG|Start of an Adventure}}''; however Korean sets at this time were a unique combination of existing cards, with none of the sets themselves corresponding to existing sets. It wouldn't be until the release of the [[Black & White (TCG)|Black and White]] sets in Japan that Korean sets would follow a format that is on par with Japan and North American releases.

Currently, the distributor is Pokémon Korea, Inc. Unlike the North American sets, the {{TCG|booster pack}}s are called Extension Packs, the {{TCG|Theme Deck}}s are called Random Decks, and the promotional pack is called a Special Set.

Up to the [[Sword & Shield (TCG)]] series, the Korean version of the Pokémon TCG is a mix between the English card design and the Japanese set format. In particular, the front and back of the card is exactly the same as the English version, albeit in Korean; this includes the flat yellow borders, copyright info in the lower-lefthand corner of the card (which is instead the location of the "1st Edition" symbol on Japanese cards), and the card backs used on English cards since the original Base Set release. However, the set logo, set names, and rarity icons for Korean cards are the same as the Japanese version: for example, Korean cards use the same purple "XY7" symbol and name "Bandit Ring" as the Japanese cards, instead of that used for the English release of {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}. The order of Pokémon is the same as in Japanese, but {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s are ordered according to their Korean name, whereas all sets in other Asian languages order the cards according to their Japanese name. Korean {{DL|Pokémon-EX (TCG)|Mega Evolution Pokémon}} cards also depict the English names of their attack instead of the Japanese names seen on English cards.

As of the [[Scarlet & Violet (TCG)]] series, the Japanese silver borders are now present on Korean cards.

This combination of English and Japanese formats might be due to both a desire to retain continuity with the original Wizards of the Coast cards released in Korean (as seen on the Korean Pikachu card included in both [[World Collection (TCG)|Pikachu World Collection]] release), but also due to the closer influence of the main ''The Pokémon Company'' in Japan on ''Pokémon Korea, Inc.'', as opposed to ''The Pokémon Company International'', which runs the International releases of the TCG.

===Events===
The first official tournament in South Korea was the 제1회 포켓몬스터 챔피온전 ''1st Pokémon Championships'' held by Daiwon C.I. at the {{wp|Olympic Weightlifting Gymnasium}} on July 29, 2003.<ref>[https://bbs.ruliweb.com/news/read/3238 대원씨아이, '제1회 포켓몬스터 챔피온전' 성황리에 개최 - 루리웹 RULIWEB]</ref> It was conducted using the Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver, and only Pokémon with Korean names could used.<ref>[https://bbs.ruliweb.com/news/read/3129 대원씨아이㈜와 함께 하는 '제1회 포켓몬스터 챔피온전' - 루리웹 RULIWEB]</ref> Although a second tournament was announced, no further tournaments for the core series games were held until Pokémon Korea, Inc. took over the franchise.<ref>[https://game.donga.com/16090/ '제1회 포켓몬스터 챔피온전' 성황리 개최. - 게임동아]</ref>

South Korean players are a regular feature at international Pokémon events, including Worlds each year. Pokémon Korea, Inc. also run their own events, including the 포켓몬스터 코리안리그 ''Pokémon Korea League''<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=korea-main 포켓몬스터 코리안리그]</ref>. This is the primary way for Korean players to earn invitations to the official Pokémon [[World Championships]] event.

On December 23, 2018, players from both South Korea and Japan staged the first Japanese-Korean Friendly tournament<ref>[https://pokemonkorea.co.kr/korea_japan_friendship 포켓몬 카드 게임 한일교류전]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/2018/20181114_001461.html ポケモンカードゲーム日韓交流戦開催決定！]</ref> (Korean: {{tt|포켓몬 카드 게임 한일교류전|Pokemon Card Game Korea-Japan Exchange Game}}, Japanese: {{tt|ポケモンカードゲーム日韓交流戦|Pokemon Card Game Japan-Korea Exchange Game}}) in Seoul, South Korea. The tournament had multiple events, and culminated with an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} between '''박세준''' ''Park Se-jun'', Worlds 2014 Masters division winner, and Ryota Otsubo, World 2017 Masters division winner.

==Pokémon manga==
[[File:Pokémon Adventures KO volume 1.png|thumb|190px|Cover of volume 1 Pokémon Adventures]]
[[Pokémon Adventures]] (포켓몬스터 스페셜 ''Pocket Monsters Special'') has been published in South Korea since August 1999 by 대원씨아이 ''{{wp|Daewon C.I.}}'' (Daiwon C.I. prior to 2007). Since then, every volume that has been released in Japan has been released in Korean, the most recent being [[Pokémon Adventures volume 51|Volume 51]], which was released on August 25, 2015. No major changes have been made between the original Japanese story and the Korean version; however at least the first 21 volumes are still released in a flipped format (mirrored from the original Japanese for Korean audiences), but have since been released unflipped (like the original Japanese version) by Volume 30.

[[Magical Pokémon Journey]] has been translated into Korean as well.

The '''Grand Underground''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|地下大洞窟|ちかだいどうくつ}}''' ''Grand Underground Cave'') is an area in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} found beneath the entire [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Players can travel to the Grand Underground using an [[Explorer Kit]], given to the player by the [[Underground Man]] in [[Eterna City]].

It takes the place of the [[Underground]] from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Changes from Diamond and Pearl==
[[File:Grand Underground mining BDSP.png|thumb|300px|The digging mini-game]]
* The map is still split into six disjoint areas like the original Underground, but the sizes and locations of the six areas do not match those of the original Underground.
* Areas now include Pokémon Hideaways, and each area now corresponds to a different aesthetic environment.
* The digging minigame returns following closely to its original incarnation with the exception of digging up Pokémon statues, which come from Stone Boxes.
** If the player runs out of digging spots, more will appear once the player enters and exits a Hideaway.
** As of the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl#Version history|version 1.1.0 update]], after the Sinnoh Pokédex is completed, [[Mysterious Shard S]] and [[Mysterious Shard L]] will start appearing in the underground for use in [[Ramanas Park]].
* [[Secret Base]]s return and are created using a [[Digger Drill]] as before.
** Bases can only be decorated with statues and pedestals to place them on.
** The flag stealing mechanic has been removed.
* [[List of decoration goods in Generation IV|Goods]] and [[Trap]]s, with the sole exception of the Digger Drill, have been removed.
* Spheres no longer have a numerical size and are instead categorized as Small or Large. They can no longer be buried either.
* Instead of goods or traps, merchants (who appear as {{tc|Hiker}}s) in the Grand Underground can exchange treasures and for spheres. Spheres can now be exchanged for pedestals, items, and TMs.
** Some Hikers found in the Grand Underground allow the player to rest, acting as a [[Pokémon Center]].
* The radar is now triggered by pressing [R] and searches the area around the player's location.
* The Grand Underground supports online communication, compared to the original games which only supported local communication.
* Steps taken in the Grand Underground count towards {{pkmn|Egg}} distance as well as the step counter app.
* {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} will occasionally pop out and leave pink sparkles that give 1 and 3 points respectively, and accumulating 40 of these points causes ''"something good to happen"''. This results in a variety of special effects lasting for a period of 4 minutes, which begins and ends when a whistle is heard:
** The odds to encounter a [[Shiny Pokémon]] in Hideaways is raised from 1/4096 to 1/2048.
** All Stone Boxes found while digging will be Gorgeous Stone Boxes.
** The progress gauge and bonus period is shared between all players connected to the same instance of the Grand Underground. If all connected players leave the Grand Underground, this gauge resets to zero.

==Zones==
The Grand Underground is organized into six zones, with each zone containing Pokémon Hideaways.

===Pokémon Hideaways===
'''Pokémon Hideaways''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンの{{tt|隠|かく}}れ{{tt|家|が}}''' ''Pokémon Hideaway'') are new places where [[wild Pokémon]] can be encountered. Unlike the main overworld, these areas feature [[symbol encounter]]s. Each of the six areas contain at least one large Hideaway (known as Caverns), and multiple, smaller Hideaways (known as Caves) scattered throughout the map. Various hideaways - particularly larger areas - include items for Trainers to discover.

After the player fulfills the following objectives during their adventure, another group of Pokémon are added to the pool of possible encounters, with some requiring [[Surf]] in order to access:
* Obtaining {{TM|96|Strength}}
* Obtaining {{TM|97|Defog}}
* Earning the {{badge|Icicle}}
* Obtaining {{TM|99|Waterfall}}
* Obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]

With each additional badge earned by the player, the levels of wild Pokémon are increased.

Additionally, all Pokémon in the Hideaways will have at least one [[Egg Move]] if applicable, unlocking some Egg Moves that would otherwise be unobtainable, e.g. {{m|Aura Sphere}} for {{p|Squirtle}}.

==Item appearances==
When mining, there is a chance for an item to be found in a bulging wall. Some items have requirements to appear, such as Mysterious Shards, only found after obtaining the National Pokedex and fossils of Pokémon not native to Sinnoh, which can only be found after defeating or capturing {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/8|SP}}. Unlike in the [[Underground]], it is possible to find multiple of the same Plate, rather than only one.

==Pokémon Statues==
Much like Spheres and Fossils, Stone Boxes associated with each Pokémon [[type]] can be found by digging. There are two kinds, the commonly seen '''Pretty Stone Boxes''' and the rarer '''Gorgeous Stone Boxes''', which give the player '''Standard Statues''' and '''Color Statues''' respectively.

When placed in a player's Secret Base, the chance of seeing a Pokémon of the corresponding type in Hideaways increases. Only the type with the greatest number of statues of the corresponding type will have a boosted effect, which is indicated by the color of the orb placed next to the entrance of the player's base. This "Statue Effect" is increased for every statue of that type that is placed in the player's Secret Base. If the Pokémon has two types, the primary type of the Pokémon has a greater effect than its secondary type in determining which type has a boosted effect. Hence, if only one statue of a dual-typed Pokémon is placed, the boosted type will correspond to the Pokémon's primary type. Furthermore, larger statues of any type provide a greater effect. A maximum of 18 statues can be placed at one time.

Catching a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Ramanas Park]] will reward the player with a statue of that Pokémon for their Secret Base. These Statues cannot be found normally whilst digging underground.

A player's chance of finding a Gorgeous Stone Box can be temporarily increased for four minutes by collecting 40 {{p|Diglett}} that can be found scattered throughout the Grand Underground. Each Diglett counts as one towards the tally, while encountering a {{p|Dugtrio}} counts as three. This count is reset when the player leaves the Grand Underground.

==Secret Base==
[[File:Sinnoh Secret Base BDSP.png|thumb|300px|Secret Base with Standard and Color statues]]
Similar to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player is able to create a [[Secret Base]] within the Grand Underground using a [[Digger Drill]]. However, unlike the previous games, the Secret Base can only be decorated with statues and pedestals to place them on. The size of a Secret Base can be expanded by exchanging spheres with one of the merchants in the Grand Underground. Like in the original, a player can only have a single base at a time.

===List of pedestals===
Statues can be placed on pedestals. These pedestals can be exchanged from merchants in the Grand Underground. Certain pedestals can also be purchased at the [[Veilstone Department Store]], and also received from the [[Underground Man]] as a reward for completing certain tasks.

==Merchants==
[[Sphere]]s can be used to exchange for pedestals and various items, such as [[TM]]s. There are three types of merchants in the Grand Underground:
* Small sphere merchants allow the player to purchase additional [[Digger Drill]]s, small or medium pedestals, and TMs which change daily.
* Large sphere merchants who offer large or extra large pedestals, and a different set of TMs.
* An item exchange merchant, who will give spheres in exchange for items that can be dug out. Additionally, he can also be paid to expand the player's [[Secret Base]].

Version-exclusive moves

2026-05-30T18:55:43Z

Kikugi: /* Generation IX */ "the other game" is always one; if you're playing Scarlet, the other game is Violet, and vice versa

{{unknown name}}
{{incomplete|article|Generation VIII}}
'''Version-exclusive moves''' are [[move]]s that are not available in all games in a single [[generation]]. They are often the [[signature move]]s of [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]. For {{LGPE}} onward, this is specific to games that are paired with one another, as Pokémon's moves do not carry over through {{g|HOME}} to other games in the same generation.

This list does not take into account the fact that the following moves could be {{m|Sketch}}ed, used via {{m|Metronome}}, or obtained from {{pkmn2|event}}s. This list does not include [[Shadow move]]s, which, with the exception of {{m|Shadow Rush}}, are all exclusive to {{Pokémon XD}}. This also does not include moves of Pokémon who cannot be obtained in-game in any game within the generation, such as {{m|Psycho Boost}} during [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}.

The moves are listed in order of their [[index number]] and categorized by the [[generation]] in which they are version-exclusive.

* {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be learned in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but the only Pokémon able to do so, {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]], is event-exclusive.
* {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} are not programmed into Pokémon X and Y. As such, Pokémon which know these moves cannot be [[trade|traded]] to X and Y, cannot be used in a link battle against X and Y, and cannot be withdrawn from [[Pokémon Bank]] to a copy of X or Y.

===Generation VII===
[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] excludes a large majority of moves in the series and cannot interact in any way with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. Because of this, the two games groups are listed separately.

Version-exclusive moves

2026-05-30T18:53:44Z

Kikugi: /* Generation V */ the top specifically says "This also does not include moves of Pokémon who cannot be obtained in-game in any game within the generation"

{{unknown name}}
{{incomplete|article|Generation VIII}}
'''Version-exclusive moves''' are [[move]]s that are not available in all games in a single [[generation]]. They are often the [[signature move]]s of [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]. For {{LGPE}} onward, this is specific to games that are paired with one another, as Pokémon's moves do not carry over through {{g|HOME}} to other games in the same generation.

This list does not take into account the fact that the following moves could be {{m|Sketch}}ed, used via {{m|Metronome}}, or obtained from {{pkmn2|event}}s. This list does not include [[Shadow move]]s, which, with the exception of {{m|Shadow Rush}}, are all exclusive to {{Pokémon XD}}. This also does not include moves of Pokémon who cannot be obtained in-game in any game within the generation, such as {{m|Psycho Boost}} during [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}.

The moves are listed in order of their [[index number]] and categorized by the [[generation]] in which they are version-exclusive.

* {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be learned in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but the only Pokémon able to do so, {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]], is event-exclusive.
* {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} are not programmed into Pokémon X and Y. As such, Pokémon which know these moves cannot be [[trade|traded]] to X and Y, cannot be used in a link battle against X and Y, and cannot be withdrawn from [[Pokémon Bank]] to a copy of X or Y.

===Generation VII===
[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] excludes a large majority of moves in the series and cannot interact in any way with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. Because of this, the two games groups are listed separately.

Version-exclusive moves

2026-05-30T18:49:01Z

Kikugi: /* Generation II */ the top paragraph says the list is about games within same Generation

{{unknown name}}
{{incomplete|article|Generation VIII}}
'''Version-exclusive moves''' are [[move]]s that are not available in all games in a single [[generation]]. They are often the [[signature move]]s of [[version-exclusive Pokémon]]. For {{LGPE}} onward, this is specific to games that are paired with one another, as Pokémon's moves do not carry over through {{g|HOME}} to other games in the same generation.

This list does not take into account the fact that the following moves could be {{m|Sketch}}ed, used via {{m|Metronome}}, or obtained from {{pkmn2|event}}s. This list does not include [[Shadow move]]s, which, with the exception of {{m|Shadow Rush}}, are all exclusive to {{Pokémon XD}}. This also does not include moves of Pokémon who cannot be obtained in-game in any game within the generation, such as {{m|Psycho Boost}} during [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}}.

The moves are listed in order of their [[index number]] and categorized by the [[generation]] in which they are version-exclusive.

* {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be learned in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, but the only Pokémon able to do so, {{p|Hoopa}} [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Hoopa|Unbound]], is event-exclusive.
* {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} are not programmed into Pokémon X and Y. As such, Pokémon which know these moves cannot be [[trade|traded]] to X and Y, cannot be used in a link battle against X and Y, and cannot be withdrawn from [[Pokémon Bank]] to a copy of X or Y.

===Generation VII===
[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] excludes a large majority of moves in the series and cannot interact in any way with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]. Because of this, the two games groups are listed separately.

TM

2026-05-29T14:43:29Z

Kikugi: /* Locations */ some non-Gym Leader NPCs give TMs (Prof. Rowan gives TM27 in Platinum, for example)

{{samename|{{Trading Card Game}} set that uses this abbreviation|Triumphant (TCG)}} ''For the [[DLC]] with a similar abbreviation, see [[The Teal Mask]].''
----
[[File:TM set FRLG.png|250px|thumb|Using a TM in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
A '''Technical Machine''', or '''TM''' for short (Japanese: '''わざマシン''' ''Move Machine''), is an [[item]] that can be used to teach a Pokémon a [[move]].

==Appearance==
[[File:RG TM.png|200px|thumb|TM artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
TMs are most commonly depicted as discs, but their appearance has varied over time.

In artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, TMs are depicted as a band that can be attached to a Pokémon.

Early art from the TCG (up until the [[Scarlet & Violet Era (TCG)|Scarlet & Violet era]]) depicts Technical Machines as small boxes which a Pokémon's [[Poké Ball]] can be inserted into. This depiction was also used in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, though in that manga, the box was actually a device that had to be separated and the two halves positioned around the Pokémon's head.

Starting in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, TMs are depicted as {{wp|compact disc}}s. This depiction was carried over to the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]].

In [[Pokémon Origins]], TMs and HMs resemble {{wp|floppy disk}}s.

In [[Pokémon GO]], TMs are depicted as digital paper that retracts into a tube.

</gallery>

The following table showcases the appearance of TMs throughout the [[core series]]. Note that in FireRed and LeafGreen there exists a Bug-type TM sprite for the [[TM Case]], but goes unused. Additionally in FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald||Emerald}}, since there are no Bug-type TMs, the [[bag]] sprite does not exist in those games.

==In the core series games==
From [[Generation I]] through [[Generation IV]], TMs are single-use items that are consumed after use, with some TMs being available only once per game. From [[Generation V]] to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, TMs can be used multiple times without being consumed (though single-use alternatives exist in [[TR]]s or [[Move Tutor]] moves). In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, TMs return to being single-use, but can be obtained multiple times through [[Poké Mart|shops]], [[TM Machine|trading items]], or other means.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], TM moves will also be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} if the baby Pokémon can learn that TM (such as passing {{m|Flamethrower}} from a father {{p|Typhlosion}} to a baby {{p|Torchic}}). Prior to Generation V, there were also several Pokémon that could not learn certain TM moves directly from a TM but could learn them via breeding, such as {{p|Vulpix}} with {{m|Energy Ball}}.

TMs are absent in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and replaced with a [[Move Tutor]].

===List of TMs===
{{main|List of TMs}}

===Locations===
{{main|List of TM and HM locations}}
TMs can be found on the ground or bought at [[department store]]s or [[Game Corner]]s. Some are also given away by various [[NPC]]s (most notably [[Gym Leader]]s, as prizes for defeating them in addition to a [[Badge]]).

===Changes between generations===
====Generation I====
[[Generation I]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional five HMs.

====Generation II====
[[Generation II]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional seven HMs. All TMs, except [[TM06]], [[TM14]], [[TM15]], [[TM22]], [[TM25]], [[TM26]], [[TM28]], [[TM29]], [[TM32]], [[TM38]], [[TM39]], [[TM42]], and [[TM44]], teach different moves to Generation I, most of which were newly introduced moves.

====Generation III====
[[Generation III]] includes 50 TMs, with an additional eight HMs (although only seven are available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}). Many of the TMs differ from previous generations, with some moves that were TMs in Generation I but not II once again being taught by TMs.

[[TM13]], [[TM24]] and [[TM33]] all teach the same moves as in Generation I but different from Generation II. The following TMs that were changed in Generation II contain the same moves as then: [[TM05]], [[TM10]], [[TM11]], [[TM17]]-[[TM19|19]], [[TM21]], [[TM23]], [[TM27]], [[TM30]], [[TM36]]-[[TM37|37]], and [[TM45]]-[[TM47|47]]. Moves taught by all other TMs now teach {{cat|Generation III moves}} or existing moves that are completely new to being taught by TMs, such as {{m|Safeguard}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, [[Move Tutor]]s teach several moves that were TMs in Generation I. In Pokémon Emerald, Move Tutors also teach several moves that were TMs in Generation II.

====Generation IV====
[[Generation IV]] includes 92 TMs, with an additional eight HMs. Due to the fact that TMs can be held and transferred from the Generation III games, the first 50 TMs teach the same moves as in Generation III.

Out of the new TMs, [[TM54]], [[TM58]], [[TM61]], [[TM62]], [[TM64]], [[TM67]], [[TM70]], [[TM73]], [[TM75]], [[TM77]], [[TM80]], [[TM82]], [[TM85]], and [[TM90]] teach existing moves. All other new TMs teach new moves.

====Generation V====
[[Generation V]] includes 95 TMs, with an additional six HMs. Many of them teach different moves to their corresponding TMs in Generation IV. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[TM95]] was originally intended to be obtainable by using the [[Lock Capsule]], an [[event item]] which was intended to be distributed to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and then transferred to Black and White via the [[Relocator]]. However, the Lock Capsule was never distributed, rendering it, and subsequently TM95, [[List of unobtainable items|unobtainable]] in these games. It can be obtained in regular gameplay in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

New moves are taught by [[TM01]], [[TM03]], [[TM09]], [[TM19]], [[TM23]], [[TM43]], [[TM47]]-[[TM49|49]], [[TM51]], [[TM55]], [[TM58]]-[[TM60|60]], [[TM62]], [[TM67]], [[TM72]], [[TM76]], [[TM78]]-[[TM79|79]], [[TM82]]-[[TM83|83]], [[TM93]], and [[TM95]]. [[TM94]] is the only new TM that teaches an existing move: {{m|Rock Smash}}.

TMs now have unlimited uses like [[HM]]s, rather than being single-use items. In this generation only, when a Pokémon learns a move from a TM or HM by overwriting an old one, the new move takes on the current PP of the forgotten move, preventing repeated usage of machines for [[PP]] restoration. The prices of the purchasable TMs are also much higher to reflect the fact they can be reused. TMs can no longer be [[held item|held]] (indicating that they can't be [[trade]]d) or sold.

====Generation VI====
[[Generation VI]] includes 100 TMs, with an additional 5 HMs in [[Pokémon X and Y]] and 7 HMs in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. One of the two additional HMs in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire—{{m|Rock Smash}}—was a TM in Pokémon X and Y; in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [[TM94]]—the TM that teaches Rock Smash in Pokémon X and Y—instead teaches {{m|Secret Power}}. Most TMs contain the same moves that they did in Generation V, with the exceptions of [[TM19]], [[TM51]], [[TM83]], [[TM88]], and (in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) TM94.

====Generation VII====
[[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]] include 100 TMs. HMs no longer exist, although the former HM moves {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Surf}} became TMs instead. This is because the overworld uses of the HMs are replaced with the [[Poké Ride]] feature. The only TMs that were changed between [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] are [[TM01]], [[TM28]], [[TM59]], [[TM67]], [[TM70]], [[TM76]], [[TM94]], and [[TM98]].

[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] include 60 TMs, with no HMs, as they are replaced with [[Secret Technique]]s. Every TM teaches a different move to what it taught in the [[Alola]] games.

====Generation VIII====
=====Sword and Shield=====
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], TMs remain virtually identical to how they work in the previous generation, with no HMs and 100 TMs in total. However, this generation prompted the inclusion of 100 new [[TR|Technical Records]] (known as TRs for short), which function as single-use items similar to how TMs worked prior to Generation V. The moves contained in TRs are all different from TM moves. Unlike in previous generations, TMs and TRs are numbered starting from 00, not 01; to make up for this, [[TM100]] has been removed.
=====Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl=====
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], TMs are single-use again, but unlike in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, all TMs (except for [[TM28]]) can be bought in the [[Veilstone Department Store]], from [[Grand Underground]] merchants, or from the [[Shard]] collector on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}}. [[Gym Leader]]s now give five of the same TM.

Unlike in previous games, TMs stayed the same as in Diamond and Pearl, except [[TM10]], [[TM21]], [[TM27]], [[TM43]], [[TM49]], [[TM62]], [[TM63]], [[TM78]], and [[TM83]], which teach moves introduced in Generation V or VI due to the moves originally taught by those TMs being unusable, or in TM10's case, being {{m|Hidden Power}}, which is now {{p|Unown}}'s signature move.

The eight HMs from Diamond and Pearl are now TM93 through TM100, in the same order.

====Generation IX====
=====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet=====
TMs return to being single-use. Once a TM is obtained, they can be crafted at a [[Pokémon Center]] using the [[TM Machine]], using [[League Points]] and [[TM Material]]s dropped by defeating or catching [[wild Pokémon]]. Like [[TR]]s, if a Pokémon forgets a move taught by a TM, it can now be relearned for free without using another TM. Unlike previous generations, TMs have a 3-digit number rather than a 2-digit number. There are 229 TMs in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: out of those, only the first 171 were present since the game's launch. [[The Teal Mask]] added 30 TMs, and [[The Indigo Disk]] added another 28 TMs.

[[TM016]], [[TM017]], [[TM026]], [[TM031]], [[TM173]], [[TM174]], [[TM185]], [[TM206]], [[TM216]], and [[TM223]] all teach existing moves that weren't available outside of leveling up, tutoring, or breeding. [[TM020]], [[TM021]], [[TM022]], [[TM052]], [[TM124]], [[TM171]], [[TM207]], [[TM210]], [[TM225]], [[TM226]], [[TM227]], [[TM228]], and [[TM229]] teach new moves.

Moves that were previously only learnable via [[Move Tutor]]s (the elemental Hyper Beam variations for fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], pledge moves, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, and {{m|Steel Beam}}) have been repurposed as TMs.

=====Pokémon Legends: Z-A=====
The base game has 107 TMs, and in [[Mega Dimension]] there are 53 extra TMs, making for a total of 160 TMs. In this game, TMs have unlimited uses.

===Incompatible Pokémon===
Although most Pokémon are able to learn a wide range of TM moves, there are 24 Pokémon that cannot learn any move through TM that isn't available to them through other means, with a few exceptions. Typically, these Pokémon are low in their evolutionary line or rely on a specific set of moves. Starting in [[Generation VI]], several of these Pokémon that were able to learn TM moves by leveling up are now able to learn the moves through TM as well.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness}} and {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky}}, the TMs for [[weather]] summoning moves, as well as {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Rock Tomb}} and {{m|Snatch}}, do not exist, and instead have been replaced by appropriate [[Wonder Orb]]s. After use, a TM becomes a [[Used TM]]; a Used TM can be turned back into a usable TM by a Pokémon with the move {{m|Recycle}}, except for a Used TM of Recycle, which will remain a Used TM permanently. Pokémon can learn the same TMs they can learn in the corresponding core series games, but Pokémon that cannot learn TMs in the core series games can learn moves via TM if they can also learn those moves by level up. TMs are not numbered; they're merely named for the move they teach.

In Red and Blue Rescue Team, multiple instances of the same TM can be learned, which is often used by runners in [[Purity Forest]].

In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, {{m|Dive}} is a TM, even though it is not a TM in [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] games. However, no Pokémon are specifically coded to learn it, and thus the only Pokémon compatible with it are those that already learn it by level-up.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, all TMs are infinite use. Special TMs for moves usually learned through a [[Move Tutor]] in the core series games are also present. {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}} are no longer available starting from this game.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, there are two types of TMs: single-use regular TMs and reusable rainbow-colored TMs. Rainbow-colored TMs can be purchased from Kecleon shops from certain post-game dungeons, and can also be purchased from Kecleon shops in towns after Kecleon has been [[Connection Orb|connected]] with the Expedition Society, which unlocks the "Treasures" section in the shop.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, and in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, there are two moves that do not appear in the core series games that can only be learned by TM: {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}. These moves do not appear in subsequent games.

In Explorers of Sky, TMs can be sold to Kecleon for 250 [[Poké]].

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, there are four kinds of TMs: [[Fast TM]]s, [[Charged TM]]s, [[Elite Fast TM]]s, and [[Elite Charged TM]]s. TMs were introduced to Pokémon GO on June 22, 2017, and Elite TMs were introduced on April 24, 2020. All TMs are consumed after one use.

Using a Fast or Charged TM on a Pokémon randomly changes its Fast or Charged Attack, respectively, to a different move in the Pokémon's current move pool.

Elite TMs allow players to select the new move that will be learned, even including legacy and event-exclusive moves, such as [[Community Day]] moves.

==In animation==
[[File:Technical Machine PO.png|250px|thumb|TM34 in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!''===
TMs are mentioned once in the Japanese version of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. While talking with the {{p|Kecleon}} Brothers, {{p|Charmander}} of [[Team Go-Getters]] mentioned TMs among other things the [[Kecleon Shop]] was sold out on. This reference was not included in the [[dub]].

===Pokémon Origins===
{{TM|34|Bide}} appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. Much like in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it was given to {{OBP|Red|Origins}} by [[Brock]] as a reward for defeating him in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

Another TM, {{TM|28|Dig}}, also made a brief appearance in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where Red retrieved it from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who had stolen it.

[[File:TM in EToP.png|thumb|200px|left|TM31 in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} used [[TM31]] to teach [[Mikey]]'s {{p|Eevee}} {{m|Mimic}}, allowing it to win a battle against [[Eevee brothers|Sparky]]'s {{p|Jolteon}} and thus let Mikey join the [[Knights of the E Stone]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', a fake TM was seen amongst the many fake items sold to {{adv|Red}} by {{adv|Green}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS094|Elekid Incorporated]]'', {{adv|Silver}} mentioned that he had used [[TM21]] to teach his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} {{m|Frustration}} in order to capitalize on the fact that he had only just stolen the Pokémon and it hadn't come to like him yet.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS606|Diancie Shines]]'', it was explained that TMs are machines that contain the essence of the move they teach to a Pokémon. Before this technology existed, other items served the same purpose. Such items are the rings [[Ultima]] carries on her staff, which contain the ultimate moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and a scroll held by the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], which contains the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
In ''[[PASS08|Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex]]'', {{Henry}} revealed he had used a TM for {{m|Sunny Day}} on his [[Twiggy|Thwackey]] in preparation for dealing with [[Nessa]]'s {{p|Toxapex}} during their [[Gym]] battle.

===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
In ''[[PASV06|Skillful! The Mysterious Treasure Hunter!!]]'', {{adv|Nemona}} received a TM for {{m|Aerial Ace}} as a prize for defeating five Trainers in [[South Province (Area Two)]] when visiting the [[Cortondo]] [[Pokémon Center]].

In [[PASV16]], {{Violet}} revealed that he had received a TM for {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} from the [[Pokémon League representative]] in [[Levincia]] as a prize for defeating enough Trainers in [[East Province (Area Two)]], a result of him having fought multiple {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s on his way to [[Schedar Squad's Base]]. He had used the TM to teach Stomping Tantrum to his {{p|Crocalor}}, which he used to defeat the Schedar [[Starmobile]] in his battle against [[Mela]].

In [[PASV20]], it was revealed that Violet used the TM for {{m|Rock Slide}} on his {{p|Clodsire}} in preparation for his battle against [[Larry]].

==In the TCG==
[[File:GrassCube01Aquapolis124.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Grass Cube 01|124}}, an example of a typical Technical Machine card with the Trainer subtype of "Technical Machine"]]
In the TCG, a '''Technical Machine''' is a {{TCG|Trainer card}} depicting a Technical Machine. Each one has an {{TCG|attack}} printed on it. They can be attached to a {{TCG|Pokémon}}, and doing so allows the Pokémon to use the attack printed on the Technical Machine card instead of one of the attacks on the Pokémon's card.<ref>[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Rules]], {{TCG|Paradox Rift}}</ref>

Technical Machines have two different mechanical representations across the TCG's history, though both adhere to the above definition.

===Technical Machine (Trainer subtype)===
{{main|List of Technical Machine cards}}
Starting from {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} in Japanese and {{TCG|Expedition}} in English, Technical Machine is a type of {{TCG|Trainer card}}. These cards can be attached to Pokémon in play. The majority of them can only be attached to Pokémon of a specific {{TCG|type}} or those that include a specific {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon|owner}} in their name, but other restrictions have been used and a few cards have no restriction at all. Each card provides an attack that can be used in addition to any attacks featured on the Pokémon it is attached to. In most cases, a player is required to discard a Technical Machine card at the end of the turn they played it. The final Technical Machine cards, the ones printed in {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} and {{TCG|Rising Rivals}}, are exceptions to this last clause.

A Pokémon can have multiple TMs attached to it at once. This functionality is fairly useless since most Pokémon can only attack one per turn and therefore can only use an attack from one Technical Machine per turn, while both used and unused Technical Machines will be discarded.<ref>[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-bw.html Compendium ruling], Compendium BW, [[Team Compendium]], PUI Rules Team, Jan 26, 2006</ref>

Some cards have numbers at the end of their name, normally starting from "01" and counting up with each card that otherwise has the same name. However, the only cards with an "02" card to follow them are Japan exclusive, only being printed in Pokémon VS. No cards have "03" or any third member to a numeric order. The two cards in Legends Awakened, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Technical Machine TS-1|136}} and {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Technical Machine TS-2|137}}, are the sole English examples of a numbering system with more than one entry in English. The final card to bear the card type, {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Team Galactic's Invention G-107 Technical Machine G|95}}, uses a "G" in place of a number.

After the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion, Technical Machine cards were seemingly retired in favor of {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s that provide additional attacks.

A number of sets have variations on the Technical Machine concept, keeping the card type and mechanics but changing the name and appearance of the item. They do not use numbers like the normal TMs, being distinguished by symbols or additional words instead.

====Miracle Sphere====
[[File:MiracleSphereSkyridge131.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere γ|131}}, an example of a Miracle Sphere.]]
A '''Miracle Sphere''' is one of three cards from the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. They are {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere α|129}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere β|130}}, and {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Miracle Sphere γ|131}}. The ends of their names have a Greek letter. Each Miracle Sphere can only be attached to [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolved Pokémon]] of three specific {{TCG|Energy type}}s. One of those types is used in the cost of the attack of the Miracle Sphere. If the Pokémon has a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} attached to it of the type in the attack's cost and a Basic Energy card attached to it of one of the other two types, the attack becomes stronger in some way, either adding an additional effect or dealing increased damage and having an additional effect. If there are Basic Energy cards attached to the Pokémon that have all three types, then both effects happen. Also, the attack a Miracle Sphere provides always ends with the word "Force".

The art for these cards shows a sphere glowing in various colors. Writing of an indeterminate language runs across the sphere.

====Mystery Plate====
A '''Mystery Plate''' is one of four cards from the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. They are {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate α|133}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate β|134}}, {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate γ|135}}, and {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Mystery Plate δ|136}}. Again, the ends of their names have a Greek letter. The attacks on these cards exclusively cost {{e|Colorless}} {{TCG|Energy}}. They have an effect when the opponent has 5 or more [[Prize card]]s remaining, and a different effect when the opponent has a lower number of Prize cards remaining. Mystery Plate α and Mystery Plate β have an effect when the opponent has 1 Prize card remaining, while Mystery Plate γ and Mystery Plate δ have an effect when the opponent has 2 Prize cards remaining. These second effects are more powerful than the first effect. However, between either of the two points, and after the second point in the case of Mystery Plate γ and Mystery Plate δ, the attack has no effect.

The art for these cards shows a stone slab, with text of an indeterminate language written on it.

====Ancient Technical Machine====
[[File:AncientTechnicalMachineSteelEXHiddenLegends86.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Ancient Technical Machine Steel (EX Hidden Legends 86)|Ancient Technical Machine [Steel]]], an example of an Ancient Technical Machine]]
An '''Ancient Technical Machine''' is one of three cards from the {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}} expansion. They are [[Ancient Technical Machine Ice (EX Hidden Legends 84)|Ancient Technical Machine [Ice]]], [[Ancient Technical Machine Rock (EX Hidden Legends 85)|Ancient Technical Machine [Rock]]], and [[Ancient Technical Machine Steel (EX Hidden Legends 86)|Ancient Technical Machine [Steel]]]. Their names all end in the name of a [[type]] encased in brackets. They use the name of a type from the video games and not the equivalent {{TCG|Energy type}}.

These cards can only be attached to an Evolved Pokémon, and that Pokémon cannot also be an {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} or an {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}. The attack an Ancient Technical Machine provides exclusively costs {{e|Colorless}} Energy, and its name ends with the phrase "Generator".

The art for these cards shows a opened clam-shaped device with a shape floating in the distant half.

===Technical Machine (Pokémon Tool)===
[[File:TechnicalMachineTurboEnergizeParadoxRift179.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Technical Machine: Turbo Energize|179}}, an example of a Technical Machine card that is a Pokémon Tool.]]
In {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion in the Scarlet & Violet Series (in Japan the {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet Era}}), over 14 years since the last Technical Machine card, Technical Machines returned to the Trading Card Game. This set of cards are a group of Pokémon Tool cards which have an attack printed on them that the Pokémon the card is attached to can use. As they are Pokémon Tools, they carry the restriction of that card type where a Pokémon can only have a single Pokémon Tool attached to it. This further means that a Pokémon cannot have more than one of these Technical Machine cards attached to them at a time.

These cards have a new naming structure, starting with "Technical Machine:" followed by the name of the {{TCG|attack}} that they provide.

While no longer depicted as a distinct type of Trainer card, these cards are still discarded at the end of the turn.

These cards' artwork use the optical disk appearance of TMs from the video games, instead of the TCG's cube appearance.
{{-}}

==In the magazines==
===''Pokémon Power''===
In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Power|magazine}}'' (issue 3, page 3), there is a small ad about buying used TMs: ''"Save big on used TMs! Call Now! 555-POKE!"''

==Trivia==
* 343 different moves have been available as a TM, adding together the TMs from every generation.
* [[Gym Leader]]s who give out a TM on their defeat typically give out one containing a move of their [[Type expert|specialty type]]. However, in their respective first generation of an appearance each, [[Brock]] and [[Falkner]] do not, giving out {{TM|34|Bide}} (a {{type|Normal}} move) and {{TM|31|Mud-Slap}} (a {{type|Ground}} move), respectively. This is rectified in the [[remake]]s of their debut games, with Brock giving away {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} while Falkner's prize is {{TM|51|Roost}}. Likewise, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] do not give out TMs matching their specialty type, instead giving out the {{type|Normal}} {{TM|83|Work Up}}, regardless of which of the three is battled.
** Prior to Generation III, TMs given out by the starting region's Gym Leaders teach moves that no Pokémon learns naturally. There is one exception: in {{game|Yellow}}, {{p|Pikachu}} learns {{m|Thunderbolt}} in place of {{m|Swift}}.
* Generation IV is the first generation in which there is at least one TM that teaches a move of each Pokémon type.
** Generation I had no TMs for {{t|Bug}}- or {{type|Ghost}} moves, Generation II had none for {{t|Flying}}, and Generation III had none for Bug. Because of the last case, [[a:File:Bag TM Bug Sprite.png|the Bug-type TM sprite]] goes unused in Generation III, while [[a:File:TM Bug Sprite FRLG.png|the sprite]] that would've been used for a Bug-type TM in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[TM Case]] goes completely unused.
* Generation IX has the most TMs, with 229, and Generation I, II, and III are tied for the fewest TMs, with 50.
* The largest TM increase across generations was from VIII to IX, adding 129 TMs. The smallest increase was from IV to V, adding only three.

'''Rest''' (Japanese: '''ねむる''' ''Rest'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is:
* [[TM44]] from Generation I to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as well as in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].
* [[TM05]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TM21]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
* [[TM085]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

==Effect==
Rest causes the user to fall {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, restoring its HP to its maximum amount. The user is unable to use moves while asleep for 2 turns after the turn when Rest is used.

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #{{psychic color}}; border: 3px solid #{{psychic color dark}}; text-align: center"

| style="{{roundybr|8px}}" colspan=2 | Sleep 3 turns (counting the turn when Rest is used) Attack on 4th turn (the same turn it wakes up)
|}

If a Pokémon with the {{a|Early Bird}} [[Ability]] uses Rest, it will spend one fewer turn asleep (being able to attack two turns after Rest is used).

Rest cures the user of any other existing non-volatile [[status condition]] ({{status|poison}}, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|burn}}, or {{status|frostbite}}) once it falls asleep. However, it does not affect any volatile ones such as {{OBP|confusion|status condition}}, [[infatuation]], [[seeding]], etc.

Rest works normally even if the user is affected by {{m|Safeguard}}.

Rest fails in these circumstances:
* The user has full [[HP]].
* The user has {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}, as these Abilities prevent them from falling asleep.
* The user has {{a|Comatose}}, which causes it to be treated as if it is already sleeping.
* The user has {{a|Purifying Salt}}, which grants immunity to non-volatile status conditions (including sleep).
* {{m|Uproar}} is in effect.
** In Generations III–IV only, if the user has {{a|Soundproof}}, then Rest can be used while Uproar is in effect.
* The user has {{a|Leaf Guard}} during [[harsh sunlight]] (Generation V onward).
* The user is [[grounded]] while {{m|Electric Terrain}} or {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in effect.
* The user is affected by {{a|Sweet Veil}}.

If the user is affected by {{m|Heal Block}}, this move cannot be used. In this case, if there are no other moves available, it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

===Generation I===
{{MoveResearch|Confirm if any of these glitches is found in the original Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}
In the handheld Generation I games only, a glitch causes the stat reductions associated with {{status|paralysis}} and {{status|burn}} to remain despite the fact that the Pokémon no longer has that status, though this can be alleviated by switching out. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and later games, Rest will reset stat reductions from major status conditions.

In the handheld Generation I games only, if a Pokémon that has been {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} successfully uses Rest, it will be cured of poison, but Toxic's counter is not reset; if it then suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage will be calculated with the formula for bad poison, still being calculated as '''N''' * x, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).

In the handheld Generation I games only, Rest will also fail if the difference between the user's maximum HP and current HP leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256 (such as 255 or 511).

===Generation II===
In this generation only, Rest can be used through {{m|Sleep Talk}}. It will work as usual, restoring the user's HP and resetting the number of turns the user will remain asleep.

===Generations III and IV===
Rest now fails if it is used via Sleep Talk, regardless of the user's HP.

Rest can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Charm}}, or {{m|Yawn}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generations V to VII===
Rest can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Rest, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Rest restores 75% of the user's total HP and makes the user {{status|drowsy}} for four turns.

Rest causes the user to start {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|napping}} for 2-3{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}} / 6{{sup/md|GTI}} / 5{{sup/md|SMD}} turns. When the status ends, the user's HP is restored, its status conditions cured, and move seals removed. If the user is forcibly woken up (such as by {{m|Uproar}}), the effect will not take place. The move is affected by {{m|Snatch}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{sbw|Rest}} is {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s down special. Unlike its counterpart in the Pokémon games, rather than healing the player, Jigglypuff falls asleep to attack. A "huge buildup of energy" forms at Jigglypuff's center at the exact moment it nods off, and this energy damages the opponent and launches them into the air. Prior to [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], this also sets said opponent on fire but from Super Smash Bros. Brawl onwards it plants a damage-inflicting flower on their head. The move is incredibly strong. For example, it almost always KOs the opponent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''.

The range of this attack is very strict, with the hitbox placed at the center of Jigglypuff's body. An opponent next to Jigglypuff will not be hit, the two kind of have to overlap. Jigglypuff stays asleep for a short time after using Rest, during which it can take no further actions. If the attack missed, this leaves Jigglypuff very vulnerable, just like how a sleeping Pokémon is open to attacks.

==Trivia==
* Rest is the only move that inflicts a non-volatile [[status condition]] and targets the user.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, according to {{jo|Webster}}'s friend, "Rest" is a contraction of "recover fast".
** In the Japanese version, he claims that 「ぐっすり」 (as in the phrase ぐっすり{{ruby|眠|ねむ}}る ''to sleep soundly'') is a contraction of 「グッドスリープ」 (''good sleep'').
* The English manual for {{game|Yellow}} mentions that "<sc>Rest</sc>'s number of turns is changed to between 1 and 3" when used in [[Pokémon Yellow Version#Connectivity|Colosseum 2]]. This is not the case.
* If a {{p|Shedinja}} uses Rest, it will always fail due to the fact that a non-[[fainting|fainted]] Shedinja always has full [[HP]] (1 HP).
* Rest has been a [[TM#Near-universal TMs|near-universal TM]] for the longest time, being the only one to appear in all generations so far.

Normal (type)

Kikugi: /* Trivia */ more neutral? I think

{{redirect|Normal|the glitch Normal type|List of glitch types in Generation II#Normal|List of glitch types in Generation II → Normal}} ''For one of the ranges a [[move]] can have, see [[Range]].''
----
{{Types}}
The '''Normal type''' (Japanese: '''ノーマルタイプ''' ''Normal type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Normal-type [[move]]s are not super effective against any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Normal-type Pokémon are weak to {{type|Fighting}} moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: [[Type]] effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''
{{Flexheader}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Normal
|prop=Off
|nve={{TypeIcon|Rock}}{{TypeIcon|Steel}}
|immune={{TypeIcon|Ghost}}
}}
{{TypeProperties
|type=Normal
|prop=Def
|se={{TypeIcon|Fighting}}
|immune={{TypeIcon|Ghost}}
}}
{{Flexfooter}}
* The {{t|Steel}} type was introduced in [[Generation II]].

===Additional effects===
If the user has the [[Ability]] {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}, or the target is under the effect of the [[move]]s {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, Normal-type moves will deal ×1 damage to {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In [[Generation I]], Normal-type Pokémon cannot be {{status|paralyzed}} by {{m|Body Slam}}. Normal-type Pokémon are also affected by {{m|Night Shade}}, despite the move being Ghost-type, which the Normal type is normally immune to. From [[Generation II]] onwards, Normal-type Pokémon can be paralyzed by Body Slam and are unaffected by Night Shade.

==Pokémon==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Normal-type Pokémon|pages}}-8}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are Normal-type, which makes up {{#expr: (({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Normal-type Pokémon|pages}}-8)/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, making it the second most common [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Water}} and before {{t|Grass}}. In [[Generation VI]], 8 Pokémon who were originally Normal-type became {{type|Fairy}} instead.

From [[Generation IV]] on, [[Pokémon Egg]]s are considered Normal-type Pokémon by the games.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

==Moves==
As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are 201 Normal-type [[move]]s, which makes up 21.5% of all moves (excluding those that are Normal-type only under certain circumstances), making it the most common [[type]] among moves, followed by {{t|Psychic}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Normal-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]], depending on the move.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can only have one [[type]], which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Normal-type Pokémon will gather [[Persim Berry|Persim Berries]], and typically have the Snoozing [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Colorless (TCG)}}
The equivalent to the Normal type in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is the Colorless type. Colorless-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} cards that depict Normal-type Pokémon are generally weak to {{TCG|Fighting}} and has no Resistance. Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Colorless generally also adopts {{type|Flying}} Pokémon and {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (prior to the {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} expansion) under its typing.

The Colorless type can be considered as the "neutral" type in the TCG; attacks that require Colorless Energy may use any type or "color" of Energy.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Normal-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with 22 (24 if {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Clefable}}, who had their [[type]] changed from [[Generation VI]] onward, are counted). Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type Pokémon, with eight.
* Generation I introduced the most Normal-type [[move]]s of any generation, with 78 (counting {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Sand-Attack}}, which had their type changed from [[Generation II]] onward). Generation VI introduced the fewest Normal-type moves, with eight.
* With {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Normal-type moves|pages}}-7}} {{cat|Normal-type moves}}, this [[type]] has the most moves available.
** Additionally, there are two unique Normal-type [[Max Move]]s ({{m|Max Strike}} and {{m|Max Guard}}, not including [[G-Max Move]]s), the most of any type.
** The Normal type is the only type that has more moves than Pokémon.
* The Normal type is tied with the {{t|Electric}} type for the fewest defensive weaknesses, with them both having just one.
* The Normal type is the only type that does not have any resistances.
* On average, Normal-type Pokémon have the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all types.
* The Normal type is the only type that is not super effective against any other type.
* The Normal type has the fewest non-neutral type relations, with only four.
** It takes non-neutral damage from the least types, those being two, and is tied with {{t|Dragon}} for dealing non-neutral damage to the least types, those being three.
* The Normal type may have been originally intended to be super effective against the {{T|Dark}} type, as seen in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]] Spaceworld demo.
** This may have merely been a placeholder type matchup, however.
* {{t|Ghost}} and Normal are the only types that are mutually immune to each other.
* No Pokémon gains the Normal type upon [[Evolution|evolving]]. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Bug}} type.
* Normal/{{t|Flying}} is the [[List of type combinations by abundance|most abundant]] dual-type combination.
* Normal has the most unused type combinations at four, as there are no Normal-type Pokémon that are also part {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Bug}}, and {{t|Ice}}.
** This makes Normal the only type that has not been paired up with {{t|Steel}}.
* In {{pkmn|contest}}s, the Normal type has the most moves that can [[Jamming|jam]].
* [[Generation VI]] added the most new type combinations for Normal, the most dual-typed Normal Pokémon (if Pokémon retyped as Normal/{{t|Fairy}} are counted), the first dual-typed Pokémon with Normal as a secondary type, and the fewest Normal/Flying-type Pokémon (with only {{p|Fletchling|one}}) of any generation that introduced Pokémon with that type combination; [[Generation VIII]] did not introduce any.
** Prior to Generation VI, Normal was only present as a secondary type for Pokéstar Studio opponents, or on Glitch Pokémon (notably Red/Blue [[MissingNo.]]).
* Normal is the only type to have ever lost Pokémon, having lost Clefairy, Clefable, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Granbull}}, and {{p|Togekiss}} when the Fairy type was introduced in [[Generation VI]].
* For the purpose of the [[Purify Chamber]], Normal is considered strong against itself, even though in battle, it is not.
* The Normal type is frequently associated with type changing:
** More Pokémon lose the Normal type upon evolving than any other type, with a total of five (twelve if all of {{p|Eevee}}'s Evolutions are counted separately).
** Eight Normal-type Pokémon have at least one [[signature move]] or a [[signature Ability]] which involves changing their type.
** Most moves which involve changing the user's type or with a varying damage type are Normal-type.
** Most {{Abilities}} that change a move's type affect Normal-type moves.
* Normal-type attacks are completely unresisted during an [[Inverse Battle]].
* Normal is the only type with no [[Paradox Pokémon]].
* [[Ash Ketchum]] has never beaten a Normal-type [[Gym Leader]] on his first try in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Normal is the only type that lacks immunities to [[Status condition#Pokémon Shuffle|status conditions]].

'''Meowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニャース ''' ''Nyarth'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Persian}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Meowth has a {{type|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Persian when leveled up with high [[friendship]].

In [[Galar]], Meowth has a {{type|Steel}} regional form. It evolves into {{p|Perrserker}} starting at level 28.

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

[[Kanto]]nian Meowth can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Meowth''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Meowth with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

==Biology==
[[File:Meowth OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Meowth for the [[original series]]]]

[[File:HGSS Meowth quadruped.png|thumb|right|200px|Meowth walking on all fours in the overworld]]
Meowth is a small, {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its ovoid head features four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and a gold {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} coin embedded in its forehead. Its ears are black with brown interiors and are flanked with an additional pair of long whiskers. Meowth can freely manipulate its claws, retracting them when it wants to move silently. The tip of its tail curls tightly. Meowth is a quadruped with the ability to walk on its hind legs. While the games almost always depict Meowth on two legs, it is stated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'' that Meowth normally walks on all fours.

Meowth is attracted to round and shiny objects and has the unique ability to produce coins using its [[signature move]], {{m|Pay Day}}. Meowth and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Pay Day by leveling up. Being nocturnal, it is known to wander about city streets at night and pick up anything that sparkles, including loose change. Upon finding a sparkling object, its eyes will glitter and the coin on its forehead will shine brightly. It shares this intrigue with {{p|Murkrow}}, with whom it often fights with for objects and prey. Meowth is a playful but fickle Pokémon with the capacity for human-like intelligence, with at least {{MTR|one member}} of the species teaching itself how to speak. Meowth tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} to collect the coins that people drop. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Meowth is known to sleep with the coins it collects.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Meowth has a [[Gigantamax]] form and two [[regional form]]s, {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth and {{rf|Galarian}} Meowth.

====Alolan Meowth====
[[File:Alolan Meowth SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
In [[Alola]], Meowth has a slightly different look. This look was the result of the monarchy's influence. Alolan Meowth's fur is a light blue-gray color. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears are a whitish-gray. Alolan Meowth's whiskers have a slight curve compared to regular Meowth's straighter whiskers, and it has silvery eyes.

Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty.<ref>[http://www.Pokémon-sunmoon.com/en-us/Pokémon/alolan-meowth/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Meowth]</ref> The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish, prideful, and cunning Alolan Meowth. As a result, Alolan Meowth's new pride also made them impulsive and fickle in nature. Alolan Meowth is known to get easily bored. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. Due to the actions of humans in Alola, Alolan Meowth's population increased in numbers. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth is known to be very famously diffcult to train due to their arrogant nature. Despite this, Alolan Meowth is also very popular with some Trainers who enjoy giving it a lot of attention.

====Galarian Meowth====
Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Galarian Meowth's unkempt beard signifies its adaptation to survive in cold climates. Its coin is now black and extremely hard, with the darkest and hardest coins being especially valued and respected among the species.

Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers. As a result of many battles, Galarian Meowth develops the ability to evolve into {{p|Perrserker}}, instead of {{p|Persian}}. Kantonian Meowth and Galarian Meowth don't get along. Galarian Meowth is known for fighting fearlessly against foes using its steel claws.

====Gigantamax Meowth====
Some Kantonian Meowth are capable of Gigantamaxing. As Gigantamax Meowth, it has become larger and longer in size. The body extends from the lower half to the shoulder, while the gold coin gains a symbol. Meowth's eyes change to a glowing gold color. The tail grows long as well, with the end of its tip extending. The tail gets even larger and bumpy when it uses an attack. Three red clouds surround it below the shoulders.

The giant coin on Gigantamax Meowth's head emits a lot of Gigantamax power that surrounds the area with a golden gleam. Its desire for shiny objects increases to the point where it will cause damage to skyscraper windows and exterior walls for the sake of sharpening its claws.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-meowth/ Gigantamax Meowth | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The symbol on Gigantamax Meowth's gold coin is believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of [[Dynamax]].

Gigantamax Meowth is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}.

How purrfect!"''

'''PAL''': ''"Meowth, a Normal-type Pokémon, loves round, shiny things.

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
[[File:Meowth Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Meowth in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', it was stated that {{MTR}} of Team Rocket had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species is not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in the {{pkmn|games}} and the [[Pokédex]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. [[Tyson's Meowth]] is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
** The only time Meowth is depicted on all fours in the games is in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}; when the player places Meowth as the first Pokémon in their party, Meowth will walk on four legs behind the player.
* Meowth is the first Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' depicted with the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}}.
* Meowth's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] are the same: 052.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have [[regional form]]s for multiple regions.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have both a regional form and [[Gigantamax]] form.
* Meowth may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Mankey}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} who evolve into their evolved forms at level 28. Their names start with an “M” and the names of their evolved forms start with a “P”. Meowth is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}}, {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Silver}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|SoulSilver}}, and {{LGPE|Let's Go Eevee!}}; while Mankey is exclusive to Red, Gold, HeartGold, and Let's Go, Pikachu!. Also, in {{B2W2|Black 2 and White 2}}, [[Yancy]] will trade the {{player}} a Meowth if the player is male, and [[Curtis]] will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
* Meowth had the Dark-type typing in the TCG set [[POP Series 5]]: {{TCG ID|POP Series 5|Meowth δ|11}}, which debuted a decade before Alolan Meowth would make an appearance in Pokémon Sun & Moon.
* Galarian Meowth is the only form of Meowth that doesn't give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture in [[Pokémon GO]].
** While Kantonian and Alolan Meowth both give more Stardust, the latter gives even more than the former.
* All regional forms of Meowth share a weakness to [[Fighting (type)|Fighting]]-type moves.
* In the original preview for [[HZ066|episode 66]] of {{aniseries|HZ}}, a Kantonian Meowth was supposed to appear alongside one of the students from [[Naranja Academy]]. In the final version of the episode, the respective Pokémon was removed, and up until that point, the last appearance of a Kantonian Meowth within the {{pkmn|animated series}} was [[Team Rocket's Meowth]] in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]''.

===Merchandise===
* Meowth appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.

===Cultural impact===
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Meowth as part of a commemorative promotion for the [[Pokémon]] franchise, with Meowth on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Meowth}}
Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''{{wp|maneki-neko}}'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lightning bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. ''Maneki-neko'' are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''{{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}}'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head. Meowth's color and pattern suggest that it also draws inspiration from {{wp|Siamese cat}}s. Its Japanese [[Pokémon category]] also suggests it is based on a ''{{wp|Bakeneko}}''.

Unlike the normal Meowth, Alolan Meowth appears to be based more on domestic cats that underwent selective breeding, specifically those owned by royalty. In particular, its appearance resembles the "British Blue" color variant of the {{wp|British Shorthair}}, an imported breed known well for its large and rounded head and pronounced 'smile', which the breed developed through artificial selection as part of the process of developing its pedigree.

Based on its appearance and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword]] [[Pokédex]] entry, Galarian Meowth may be based on {{wp|Norwegian Forest cat}}s, large fluffy cats with beard-like ruffs, or {{wp|European Wildcat}}s, with traits of the {{wp|Vikings}} that kept the breed's presumed ancestors on their ships.

Gigantamax Meowth's elongated body may be based on a sketch from ''{{wp|Monty Python's Flying Circus}}'' about a giant cat with outstretched arms and the {{wp|longcat}} meme. Its enlarged forehead coin may bear a {{wp|caligraphy|calligraphic}} form of the kanji 大 (“big” or “large”), reflecting both its Gigantamax size and the exaggerated coin size compared to a normal Meowth’s koban.

====Name origin====
Meowth may be a combination of ''meow'' (the sound a cat makes) and its Japanese name. It may also involve ''mouth'' or ''wealth'', where the latter alludes to the ''maneki-neko''

Nyarth may be derived from ニャー ''nyā'' (meow).

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than its {{stat|Attack}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
Hitmonchan is a tan, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and skirt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. The gloves are actually masses of muscle. In between the tunic and skirt is a small, black area.

As its appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It can throw punches that are too quick to be seen with the naked eye. These punches are said to be as fast as a bullet train. It starts attacking foes with combo punches from both sides before finishing with a single straight punch. A single straight punch by Hitmonchan can launch foes over 300 mph. By punching with a corkscrew motion, it is even capable of drilling through concrete. Even a light graze from its punches will result in a burn. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, it has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, it is rarely seen in the wild. It often competes with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mach Punch}} was its [[signature move]], but {{p|Tyrogue}} could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Iron Fist}} was Hitmonchan's [[signature Ability]].

===Evolution===
Hitmonchan evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were introduced as not being related to each other in an evolutionary line but later became part of the same evolutionary line as each other.
* Hitmonchan is tied with {{p|Hitmontop}} for learning the most increased-[[priority]] [[move]]s by level up, at eight.
* Hitmonchan's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]] [[Pokédex]] number, #107, could refer to {{wp|Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)|Little Mac}}, whose weight is 107 pounds (ca. 49 kg).
* Despite the requirement for its [[Evolution]] being a higher {{stat|Defense}} than {{stat|Attack}}, Hitmonchan's Attack stat is much higher than its Defense stat.
* Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee received the biggest increase to their {{stat|Special}} stat in Generation II, gaining 75 points of {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* Hitmonchan's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />

===Design variations===
[[File:107Hitmonchan RG.png|150px|thumb|Hitmonchan's shorts in {{g|Red and Green}}]]
In its official artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Hitmonchan wore purple pants resembling pleated shorts. The {{pkmn|animated series}} and some other artwork also depict it wearing loose shorts, with other artwork being more ambiguous. However, since the transition to 3D models in [[Generation VI]], it has consistently worn {{wp|kilt}}-like bottoms with undergarments.

===Origin===
Hitmonchan appears to be based on a {{wp|Boxing|boxer}}. Based on its Japanese name, it may specifically be based on the boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}. The colors of Hitmonchan's gloves in its normal and {{Shiny}} colorations might be a reference to the red corner and blue corner in boxing. Some of its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention that it needs a short break after fighting for three minutes, which is a reference to the duration of rounds in boxing.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is named after {{wp|Jackie Chan}},<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> and may additionally involve a combination of ''hit'' and ''monster''. The name is also related to {{p|Tyrogue}}'s other Evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

Ebiwalar may be derived from the Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

== Content dispute in the Paldea section of "Pokémon world in relation to the real world" page ==

Hello, I am requesting a moderator review to an issue with the user "Namornen" in terms of their edits of the "Pokémon world in relation to the real world" page.

I have been trying to argue that Gibraltar should be kept as a valid reference for Cabo Poco. There already was discussion on this before in 2022 here:[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world/Archive_1#Paldea_section] and it was approved by other editors as a valid reference in line with the standards of the page. I have rewritten it as a possibility, like the other entries in the page, considering it would be difficult getting developer confirmation or hard direct evidence in game. Namornen has deleted my replacements of the reference to Gibraltar on September 7th [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world&diff=prev&oldid=4375199] and 8th [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world&diff=prev&oldid=4383856]. I wanted to avoid an edit war and recreated a discussion here: [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world]. Another editor agreed with my points, and after a week waiting for discussion, I re-added the reference on September 18th. Namornen then removed it [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_world_in_relation_to_the_real_world&diff=prev&oldid=4383856].

I argued the following combined would favor of Gibraltar's inclusion as being a possible basis to Cabo Poco (Namely Nemona's section of the town):
*Based on Cabo Poco's location in the southern tip of Paldea is in line with Gibraltar. Nemona's house is on the east side of Cabo Poco; Gibraltar is on the east side of the cape.
*Nemona herself not being a Paldean native. I have not stated that she is from Galar. Based on other entries, I do not think a hard reference like that is necessary for the standards of this page.
*Nemona's character trait of code switching by speaking both English and Spanish which directly reflects Gibraltarian culture and the Llanito dialect. Although it's not solely Nemona's, as generic NPC's have spoken Spanish phrases, the way Nemona speaks is a defining character trait for her as she has done this a lot in her dialogue.
*Gibraltar's fame internationally, based on history and mythology.
*References like the Poco Path lighthouse having similarities to Europa Point Lighthouse (Its color, lantern room's shape compared to Chipiona, its weather vane). I believe Europa Point is a reasonable additional candidate alongside Chipiona Lighthouse (the tallest lighthouse in Spain).
*I have stated that many places in Paldea and in Pokemon in general have been an amalgamation of many places. And I think it stands to reason Gibraltar is a possible reference.

Generally, I have argued the following:
*I've stated that on the top of the page "This article contains fan speculation. There is no solid evidence for or against some parts of this article." I agreed that it shouldn't be a wild speculation, and there should be valid basis in the reference. I have given reason for Gibraltar's inclusion that isn't wild guessing, however Namornen has not accepted these points it seems that he wants more solid evidence.
*It seems the evidence required for the Gibraltar entry is held to a higher standard than for other entries on this page. Unova Route 4 and the World Trade Center for example.
*I have not stated that Gibraltar is the only valid reference. I have stated that a place could have multiple references. for example: Mesagoza in Paldea or Ballonlea in Galar.
*Namornen has rejected all of my points saying they are not solid enough for the page.

He has then removed a valid reference for the Poco Path lighthouse (Chipiona Lighthouse) and switched it to something less known after I mentioned Europa Point Lighthouse as being a valid reference.
Due to the above, and the removal of the Chipiona Lighthouse as a valid reference, it seems that the editor will not compromise. I feel that my contributions are being dismissed without sufficient consideration, and I am concerned about the fairness of the discussion.

Thank you very much for your consideration. [[User:Pipcrew|Pipcrew]] ([[User talk:Pipcrew|talk]]) 10:35, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

:Just letting you know, we are aware and the issue is under discussion. For now as an interm measure, the article is protected but we will make an announcement once a final decision is made on how to proceed, since it isn't the first time that this article has become a flashpoint. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 18:10, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

== The current wording ==

Are you aware you just claimed that a Great Ball in a hill is apparently a reference to the UK now? Speculation is fine when it has minimum sense, but this is just ridiculous.

And why only Gibraltar, then? Why not also La Línea de la Concepción, Cádiz, Algeciras, etc.?
If you had actually read exactly what I wrote on Talk, you wouldn’t have done what you did. And by the way, I was about to add them in one of my own edits as a compromise. Very poor move. [[User:Namornen|Namornen]] ([[User talk:Namornen|talk]]) 09:53, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

:For what it's worth, I didn't claim anything; I simply restored old information that was previously removed. The reference in my opinion isnt that farfetched either UK has "Great" in its name (Great Britain) and the colours of a great ball closely resemble the colours on the Union Jack. Some speculation is allowed given the nature of the article but regardless of that for now we are still discussing how to best proceed with that article. In general I'd recommend seeking consensus with other editors on the talk page before removing anything, especially on an article as subjective as the one in question. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 10:41, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
::Restoring that is the same as claiming. If you read what’s been written on Talk, you probably wouldn’t have posted that, since even '''the person who started that speculation has already dismissed it as a stretch'''. Setting aside how wild the speculation is, Great Balls appear in plenty of areas across Paldea, not just Cabo Poco, and in Japanese it’s originally "Super Ball", not Great Ball, which makes it even less likely.
::I’m open to speculating and including locations, but please lets keep the feet on the ground. I’ll try to find a compromise on Talk, which despite what the user said I was always open, he just didn't wrote before asking a compromise. [[User:Namornen|Namornen]] ([[User talk:Namornen|talk]]) 10:55, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
:::I honestly don't have any strong feelings either way. The reason that I reverted the edit is because in a content dispute like this, its better to err on the side of including information, until such time as consensus dictates otherwise (should that happen) rather than removing it. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 11:31, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

== Legends Z-A Preorder Bonus Image ==

Hi there! Saw that you recently reverted my addition of a citation needed tag to https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_other_event_distributions_in_Generation_IX#Pok%C3%A9mon_Legends:_Z-A_Trench_Coat_&_Pants and referred to the image to the right (https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:ZA_Trench_Coat_and_Pants_event.png) ...which I thought I'd checked, but missed that last line of the fine print somehow, definitely my bad!

That said I did want to point out that all the official sources I can find (e.g. U.S. Gamestop page) now seem to be displaying a different image, which appears to be very close to the same...except that that critical line (the "Items can also be obtained through normal gameplay") has been removed, and "Gamestop Exclusive" has been newly stamped in the top-right corner. The only place I was able to find the original image we've got on the wiki is in a Facebook post dated July 26th (https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=756474870364325&id=1000800545516400), but as I don't see that image being displayed anywhere current, I'd be kind of worried it was a misprint or mistake that won't be honored.

Any idea where you uploaded the wiki image from (I notice it was also uploaded July 26th) and if it's a different, current source I missed? Other thoughts on how to handle this? (I'd love to find out I'm missing something obvious again, just worried about misleading myself and other readers with regards to preorder decision-making).
(Current image I see at https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/nintendo-switch/products/pokemon-legends-z-a---nintendo-switch-edition/426428.html , with the line now missing and the 'exclusive' [https://media.gamestop.com/i/gamestop/Pokemon_ZA_Bonus/Pokemon%20Legends%20Z-A%20Bonuses.webp bubble in the top right instead:] {{unsigned|1pinkpanda1}}
: Heya, first off i just reformatted the link in your comment because dropping in a full resolution 1920x1080 pixel image into a talk page conversation is a bit obnoxious, hope its oki. Otherwise honestly, I'm fine with just removing it for now, we will see anyway when the game launches whether its truely obtainable or not. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 10:10, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

:Sounds good! Also apologies about the image, will format more carefully next time so it isn't so obnoxious. [[User:1pinkpanda1|1pinkpanda1]] ([[User talk:1pinkpanda1|talk]]) 10:58, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

== Reverted changes? ==

Hi there! Why did you revert my changes to MEE and SVE Basic Energies? [[User:RickvdBelt|RickvdBelt]] ([[User talk:RickvdBelt|talk]]) 00:16, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

:I replied on your talk page, lets keep the conversation there :). '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 00:23, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

== I'm starting to perceive this wiki as hostile ==

1. I wasn’t going to add anything again after being reverted. Why protect the article as if I were some kind of vandal?

2. I haven’t done any edit warring , do you know the 3RR rule? I haven't broken it.

3. One of your moderators/friends even reverted me using one of my own quotes that had a typo in English. I’m not sure if that was to highlight my bad English, mock me, or what exactly.

It's fine if you revert me when something doesn't follow Bulbapedia's rules, but at least try to hide your hostility and lack of respect, you guys are moderators not random Twitter users. [[User:Namornen|Namornen]] ([[User talk:Namornen|talk]]) 10:19, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

:Let's unpack , because there is no reason for this to get heated. The measure taken are not against you specifically, they were done proactive protective measures since there was a dump of new illicitly obtained information that should not be added to the page as our policies around leaked material forbids it; doesn't matter who adds it. I protected it primarily as resources will be inherantly focused to the rush of adding all the new Z-A content, which also increases content moderation pressures especially at a time like this, and even more so since the games have leaked in the way that they have. Once this dies down it so does the protection for that specific page.

:I didn't issue you any warning because quite frankly there was no reason or justification to do so. If we felt like there was anything we had to convey to you specifically beyond what was said when the edits were undone, we would have used your talk page for this. As for Anza quoting your "bad English", I can't speak for them but I don't think it was done with malice against you, to me it seems it was just to highlight his point in relation to that statement. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 10:45, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

== "Introduced in" VS. "introduced with" ==

Your reason for reverting my recent edit on [[Template:Mega Evolution]] is that "introduced in" is more misleading compared to "introduced in". I'm not sure I get it; my understanding is that here, "introduced in" means that a [[Mega Evolution]] was introduced ''in'' the game. Am I wrong? [[User:Machampionship|Machampionship]] ([[User talk:Machampionship|talk]]) 16:58, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

:There was some discussion since the Mega evolutions that came in Mega Dimension don't actually require Mega Dimension to access (Baxcalibur mainly). "Introduced in" has the connotation that it's part of the DLC, but really it was just made available alongside the DLC, but isn't actually part of it. That is why the template was changed originally. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 17:03, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

== Shiny Pokémon images in the sleep style page ==

There are versions of the profile images of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{g|Sleep}} featuring their {{Shiny}} counterparts. However, a good amount of them go unused in this wiki. Is there a way to possibly integrate the normal and Shiny Pokémon profile pictures in the [[Sleep Style Dex]] page? [[User:Machampionship|Machampionship]] ([[User talk:Machampionship|talk]]) 13:03, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

:I mean tbh I kinda feel like they should be on the species page as well; Can't say I really like the template we use for displaying sidegame data but maybe there's a way to make it work. Feel free to integrate them to the sleep style dex too if you want :). '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 09:57, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

== Pokopia Forms ==

Hello,

I noticed that you added all of the Pokpoia individuals to the main infoboxes. I am curious as to why you did that, as they are not present in main series games. Similar cases such as Primal Dialga and Shadow Mewtwo are excluded for this reason, and there is no reason to believe Pokopia sets any new precedent. [[User:Mjmannella|Mjmannella]] ([[User talk:Mjmannella|talk]]) 01:44, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

:The primary determent is that these forms have Pokédex entries, unique typings (in the case of Rotom); also Gamefreak being involved in the production gives it more weight than characters from spin-offs (Mystery Dungeon/Pokken) which Game Freak wasn't involved in and don't have this kind of info.

::I was unaware of the Pokédex ruling. That sounds like something that should qualify other games like New Pokémon Snap. Is there any official statement that exists as supporting evidence? I couldn't find any mention of form specifications in the article policies. [[User:Mjmannella|Mjmannella]] ([[User talk:Mjmannella|talk]]) 01:54, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Technically Pokémon Snap doesn't have a Pokédex, Its stylized in-game as a "Photodex" and lacks many of the defining Pokédex features like height/weight info. In terms of policy there isn't a firm policy that dictates this specifically because its impossible to cover every eventuality in detail, however the Manual of style does say ''some styles or conventions may be established across Bulbapedia without being formally defined in the manual of style''. Stuff like this is ideally driven by concensus (its also worth noting that Pokopia is really the first spin-off game to ever release with a unique Pokédex numbering system, so this game breaks a lot of boxes so to speak).

== Pokopia dex listings ==

Hello! I noticed you added all the Pokopia pokedex listings on pokemon pages to a new section at the bottom for spin-off games. This makes sense on its own, but seems confusing in combination with the entries for Stadium and Stadium 2 being listed in line with other games from their generations. While I know they're technically considered "side series" games by the wiki, it seems a little confusing for the user to have them be inconsistent, and I think they should either all be with their generations or all in a separate category.

PS: Sorry if this is the wrong channel for this kind of thing! 🙇 [[User:Lilycove|lilycove]] 23:37, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

:Yeah main reason was we don't technically consider the Stadium Games as true Spin-offs even if in practice they kinda are. I kinda agree having them with gen9 would be more intuitive but there were some concerns that it might confuse with core series connectivity.

== Lysandre Café ==

I'm a bit confused. Lysandre Café already had an image of it from Z-A. If I may ask, why did you upload a separate file depicting the same location in the same game? Just curious. -- [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:39, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

:Whats in the jnfobox is a game asset (used in the world map) but it's pretty low quality for actually showcasing the subject. I was going through the news images and that image was distributed with the Mewtwo mystery gift announcement and it seemed to fit. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 22:42, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

== Animated overworld sprite file names ==

Hi, I’m looking for some clarification on animated overworld sprite file names.

The [[Archives:Manual of style]] page on overworld sprites lists <code>Ani###OD.png</code>, but I couldn’t find whether the filenaming changes based on the sprite's orientation (e.g., facing up, down, left or right).

Is there a preferred format for animated overworld sprites with different orientations?

<nowiki>Thanks, </nowiki> [[User:Teobz|Teobz]] ([[User talk:Teobz|talk]]) 06:41, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

:I believe we really only have the sprites when they are facing down (i.e. walking towards you); so in that sense there probably really isn't much of a convention. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 14:48, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

== Gibberish on talk page ==

Hi, the user Det seems to dislike having their talk page actually being used as one, because they keep removing the messages and replacing them with random letters; they also make sure to do it in multiple edits so that you can't just revert it by undoing. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 14:34, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:I'm aware, thankfully rollback is still just one button. Regardless I protected the talk archives so they can't be vandalized and will discuss with the team what else (if anything) we will do. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 14:46, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Please fix [[Template:Pokémon Infobox]] to handle base XP yield correctly. Currently, it requires a single value for generation 5 and onward; however, there are some Pokémon for which the value is different between generations 5 and 6 on one hand, and 7 and onwards on the other, e.g {{pl|Arbok}} is 153 in gens 5-6 and 157 subsequently.

'''May's Wartortle''' (Japanese: '''ハルカのカメール''' ''Haruka's Kameil'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|May}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and her sixth overall. She received her from {{an|Professor Oak}}.

==In animation==
===History===
===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:May receiving Squirtle.png|thumb|220px|left|Squirtle joining May's team]]
After leaving her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}} in [[Hoenn]], {{an|May}} met up with {{Ash}} in [[Pallet Town]], where one of {{an|Professor Oak}}'s {{p|Squirtle}} took a liking to her. When she did not want to go in Professor Oak's {{i|Poké Ball}}, he allowed her to travel with May, so she went in her Poké Ball instead.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', May used Squirtle in a battle against [[Drew]] to see which of them would get to catch an {{p|Arcanine}}. Due to still being young and inexperienced, Squirtle was unable to deal any damage to {{p|Flygon}} and lost after a single {{m|Steel Wing}} attack, ending up in tears.

May quickly introduced her to [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where she adapted well. She was first used in the Battle Stage of the {{ci|Saffron}} Contest in ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', where she defeated a Trainer's {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Weepinbell}} to advance to the finals against [[Harley]] and his {{p|Ariados}}. Ariados gained a strong lead with {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Spider Web}} to cover the stage and ensnare Squirtle. When all hope seemed lost, May had Squirtle use {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the webs and regain momentum. She rode the frozen webs and finished the battle with a powerful {{m|Tackle}}, which was her first major accomplishment on May's team.
[[File:May Squirtle Appeal AG151.png|thumb|220px|Squirtle finishing her performance in the Silver Town Contest]]
In ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', May was still deciding which Pokémon to use in the upcoming {{ka|Silver Town}} Pokémon Contest. She sent out Squirtle, but she was not very satisfied with how she came out of her Poké Ball as she needed Squirtle's entrance to be flashier. Squirtle took May's comments to heart and disappeared from her sight for a little while, only to return using accessories made out of flowers to look more appealing and impress her {{pkmn|Trainer}}. May reassured Squirtle that she would always look cute in her eyes, and when the Silver Contest got underway, she used her in the Appeals Round. Squirtle began by using Ice Beam while spinning around and then proceeded to use Bubble, creating one large bubble surrounded by several smaller ones. After that, she jumped on the large bubble and used her Ice Beam to destroy the surrounding bubbles and used Ice Beam once more, this time aiming on the large bubble. The splash resulting from the explosion was frozen solid, creating several ice pillars, and Squirtle finished by posing atop one of them. The performance impressed the judges and placed May among the four {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s moving on to the Contest Battles.
[[File:AG157.png|thumb|220px|left|Squirtle, May, and Meowth getting transported to the past]]
In ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', Squirtle, May, and {{TRM}} overheard [[Edna]]'s tragic backstory and how she lost her husband, {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}, in the past. Squirtle later found Edna's lost locket, which emitted a mysterious light and enveloped the three. They soon realized they'd been [[Time travel|transported back in time]] to when Edna's husband was about to make his departure. Working together, they delayed the train long enough for Edna to catch up to Jonathan and stop him from leaving. They then returned to the present and, due to their actions, found the couple living happily together.

In ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', Squirtle was used in the [[Appeal|first round]] of the {{to|Wisteria}} Contest. Her performance started with using {{m|Rapid Spin}} to spin rapidly across the stage. She proceeded with a {{m|Bubble}} attack, making a spiral of bubbles while still spinning around. After that, she used her {{m|Ice Beam}} to destroy the bubbles and create a frozen fountain. She received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|all]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]], advancing May to the second round.

In ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', Squirtle was used in the appeal round of the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest. She used Rapid Spin to create waves of dust, followed up with Bubble to create a tall pyramid before using Ice Beam to freeze the structure, ending with a strong appeal.

In ''[[AG175|Going for Choke!]]'', Squirtle participated in the Mulberry Contest. She won a match against a Trainer's {{p|Skarmory}} by points and later went up against [[Jessie]], who was borrowing Harley's {{p|Banette}}. Squirtle hid in her shell with {{m|Withdraw}} and {{m|Rapid Spin}} to avoid taking too much damage while bouncing around the stadium to find an opening to strike. When the timer ran out, both sides were tied, and they continued into sudden death. Squirtle ended up winning by freezing Banette and knocking it down with Tackle.

In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', Squirtle was used in a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] alongside [[May's Combusken]] against Drew's {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Flygon}} in the {{wp|Single-elimination tournament|quarterfinals}} of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. Her various attacks were vital to May, the two most important aspects coming from Bubble to provide the water half of a Fire and Water combination attack and knocking Flygon out with a supereffective Ice Beam. After Squirtle defeated Flygon, Drew's Absol would defeat Squirtle in turn, leaving the battle to a one-on-one battle between Combusken and Absol.
[[File:May and Wartortle.png|thumb|220px|Wartortle and May]]

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', Squirtle was revealed to have evolved into a Wartortle during May's travels through [[Johto]]. She was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Wallace Cup]]. Wartortle was sent out with a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and began by using {{m|Rapid Spin}} on the water field before finishing with her newly revealed {{m|Aqua Tail}}. The performance was good enough to advance May to the next round.

===Personality and characteristics===
[[File:May Squirtle flowers.png|thumb|220px|left|Squirtle's love for flowers]]
While she was a Squirtle, Wartortle demonstrated a personality that was distinct from [[Ash's Squirtle]], as she was much younger and smaller, mainly because she was intended to be a [[first partner Pokémon]]. She was also relatively shy and was a bit of a crybaby. However, as time passed, she grew considerably as she started to cry less. As a Wartortle, she is shown with a more boisterous attitude with no signs of the tears that defined her as a Squirtle. Much like [[May's Bulbasaur]], Squirtle has a love for flowers and would often disappear to find some she could admire. Her love for flowers was also shown in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', when she attempted to use flowers as an accessories for the {{ka|Silver Town}} [[Pokémon Contest]].

Squirtle took an instant liking to {{an|May}}, feeling safe with her when she got scared by [[Max]] and ran away from him in her [[AG133|debut episode]]. Also, upon witnessing May's courage and compassion during an attack from {{TRT}}, Squirtle chose May to be her Trainer. Squirtle quickly adapted well to Pokémon Contests and showed a natural talent for them, with the result that May would usually use her for her Contest [[Appeal]]s.

'''Cryogonal''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリージオ''' ''Freegeo'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Black chained by Brycen Cryogonal.png|thumb|left|150px|Cryogonal using its ice chain to ensnare {{adv|Black}}]]
Cryogonal is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made of ice crystals, which resembles a shiny, blue hexagonal snowflake. Its facial expression is frozen, which leaves Cryogonal with a still, aggressive-looking face. Two cracks run through its face: the upper opening contains its eyes, and the lower serves as a mouth. It has two glowing eyes and its large mouth contains an extendable chain of ice, which is used for hunting.

Cryogonal is born in snow clouds, although there are rumors stating that it is born from people and Pokémon that have died on snowy mountains. When its body heat rises, it will turn into steam and vanish, but it will revert to ice when the body temperature lowers. As a result, Cryogonal is rarely seen during the summer, and are commonly seen during winter seasons. Cryogonal uses its ice chain to capture its prey and freeze them at a temperature of -148 °F (-100 °C), before taking them to unknown locations.

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Brycen Cryogonal.png|thumb|250px|Cryogonal in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
====Major appearances====
Cryogonal debuted in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', under the ownership of [[Brycen]]. It was used in Brycen's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}, where it defeated {{AP|Scraggy}} but lost to his {{AP|Pignite}} after it used {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

In ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', multiple Cryogonal acted as followers of {{OBP|Kyurem|M15}}.

In ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]'', multiple Cryogonal were attacking and freezing a dam, leading to [[Virgil]], [[Davy]], and [[Jeff]] mounting a rescue mission. It was ultimately discovered that a baby Cryogonal was trapped inside the dam, and once it was reunited with the older ones, they left peacefully.

====Minor appearances====

==In the manga==
[[File:Brycen Cryogonal Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Cryogonal in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Cryogonal 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Cryogonal trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Cryogonal appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run. It uses {{m|Ice Beam}} that either flies straight or curves to follow the target. It also appears as a trophy in the 3DS version of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Ice-type Pokémon uses its ice-crystal chains to capture and freeze its prey to {{tt|-148 degrees|of Fahrenheit}}. In Smash Run, it drifts through the air and attacks with Ice Beam. The beam comes in two forms: one that fires in a straight line and one that curves to follow the fighters. ''

'''PAL''': ''This ice-type Pokémon uses its ice crystal chains to capture and freeze its prey to {{tt|-100 degrees|of Celsius}}. In Smash Run, it drifts through the air and attacks fighters using Ice Beam. The attack comes in two forms: it will either fire in one direction, or it'll rotate as it fires. Don't let it hit you or you'll end up frozen solid! ''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Cryogonal is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Solar Beam}} by leveling up, but not learn {{m|Sunny Day}} by any method.
* Despite having no visible legs, Cryogonal can learn {{m|Triple Axel}}, a move that involves kicking.
===Origin===
Cryogonal's appearance seems to be based on both {{wp|snowflake}}s and {{wp|ice crystals}}. The ability to trap prey in ice crystals may be a reference to the ''{{wp|Jötunn|hrímþursar}}'', Nordic giants who were made of ice, who also have this ability. Because of its back sprite and ability to learn several light-based moves, it may also be based on a {{wp|mirror}}, possibly referencing the "Mirror of Reason" from {{wp|The Snow Queen}}, the {{wp|Magic Mirror (Snow White)|Magic Mirror}} from Snow White, or both.

====Name origin====
Cryogonal may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:cryo-|cryo-]]'' (prefix for icy cold) and ''[[Wiktionary:hexagonal#English|hexagonal]]''.

Freegeo may be a combination of ''freeze'' or ''[[Wiktionary:frigid#English|frigid]]'' and ''{{wp|geometry}}''.

A '''Guitarist''' (Japanese: '''ギタリスト''' ''Guitarist'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in [[Generation II]] games. They appear as young, blond men or (in [[Generation V]] only) black-haired women, playing guitars.

They specialize in {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, as they play {{wp|electric guitar}}s. They may also use Pokémon associated with sound waves, such as the {{p|Whismur}} evolutionary line in [[Generation III]], and the {{p|Zubat}}{{sup/4|DP}}{{sup/8|BDSP}}/{{p|Kricketot}}{{sup/4|Pt}} family in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation VIII]]. They may have some relation to the {{tc|Rocker}} class introduced in [[Generation I]], and the {{Tc|Musician}} class introduced in [[Generation V]].

==In animation==

{{an|May}} battled {{OBP|Jeremy|AG151}}, who seems to be based on the Guitarist class, in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''. However, he owned a {{p|Venusaur}} and a {{p|Butterfree}}, which are not Electric-type like the Guitarists use in the {{pkmn|games}}. However, {{p|Butterfree}} are capable of using {{m|Supersonic|sound waves}} in the games, possibly referencing the Trainer class.

In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Parts 1]] [[BW084|and 2]]'', a Guitarist named [[Billy Jo]] appeared as a member of [[Roxie]]'s rock band "{{p|Koffing}} and the Toxics".

In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', a Guitarist named {{OBP|Jimmy|XY115}} arrived at the camp of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} with the intent of testing the strength of his {{p|Pikachu}}, Spike, against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Unbeknownst to him, however, the Trainer he battled was {{an|Serena}}, who disguised herself as Ash to stand in for him after he had fallen ill.

A Guitarist appeared as a background character in ''[[PS418|Deprogramming Porygon-Z]]'', where he was part of a group of people who entered the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} after [[Palmer]] had his assistants open the gates.

A Guitarist briefly appears with his {{p|Voltorb}} at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in ''[[PS421|Clobbering Claydol]]'' when {{adv|Looker}} was searching for {{adv|Platinum}}.

====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}=====

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Guitarist Arturo can be found in these [[Pokémon Center]] locations around Sinnoh:
:'''Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday''': [[Pastoria City]]
:'''Monday, Tuesday''': [[Canalave City]]
:'''Thursday, Friday''': [[Sunyshore City]]
* There is data in Pokémon Platinum for a battle with Guitarist Arturo with a [[level]] 7 {{p|Kricketot}}, but it is completely inaccessible.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-platinum-trainer-data.3665884/</ref>
* From [[Generation II]] to [[Generation V]], the type of guitar used by Guitarists is based on the well-known guitars of {{wp|Gibson}}.
* Many Guitarists found in various Battle Frontiers are likely references to famous real-life guitarists, including Iggy (Pop), Jimmie (Jimi Hendrix), and Les (Paul).

A '''Police Officer''' (Japanese: '''おまわりさん''' ''Police Officer''), known as an '''Officer''' in Generation II and a '''Policeman''' in Generations IV and V, is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games.

In Generations II and IV, they are {{wp|police}} officers, with flashlights and {{wp|Baton (law enforcement)|batons}}, that only battle at [[Time#night|night]]. It could be said that their counterpart is the {{tc|Jogger}}s, who can only be battled in the {{DL|Time|morning}}. They specialize in using {{p|Growlithe}} in Generation II and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|its remakes]], a possible [[List of cross-canon references|reference]] to the {{pkmn|animated series}}'s [[Officer Jenny]]. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they use a combination of the {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Machop}} families.

In [[Generation V|Generations V]], {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}}, they continue to use {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with canine traits, including the aforementioned Growlithe, as a possible allusion to {{wp|police dogs}}. In the [[Battle Subway]], they specialize in defensive Pokémon sets primarily relying on [[status condition]]s, and in the early stages, {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. In the {{gal|Battle Tower}} in [[Galar]], Police Officers specialize in a mix of {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, and {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], they keep their Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

Female Police Officers were first introduced in the core series games in {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}.

Although they aren't Trainers, they also appear as guards to [[Saffron City]] and try to arrest a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in [[Cerulean City]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (replaced by [[Officer Jenny]] in {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), and their remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Another NPC by the name of [[Officer Johnson]] plays a minor role in guarding the [[Cipher]] members that [[Duking]] arrested in [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', a couple of Officers make a cameo when the Pokémon kidnapped by [[Lt. Surge]] are returned to their original Trainers.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
[[Falkner]], aside from being a [[Gym Leader]], is also a member of the police force.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Koya]] is a member of the [[International Police]], as well as a Pokémon Trainer.

A bunch of policemen led by [[Looker]] appear in ''[[DPA32|Charon Must Be Stopped!]]'', where they attempt to arrest [[Charon]], the new leader of [[Team Galactic]]. However, Charon is too strong as he was able to take out the policemen's Pokémon easily.

Talk:Hypno (Pokémon)

2026-05-21T13:35:21Z

Kikugi: /* No fainting animation in Colosseum? */

== Trivia ==

Under trivia it says, "Hypno is shown to have its pendulum in its right hand in its Red and Blue sprites. However, Hypno is holding it in its left hand in its Green front sprite and all Generation I back sprites." Shouldn't it say that Hypno is shown to hold the pendulum in its left hand in all of the sprites except for the Red (Ja) and Green versions? ~> Twim'c
:It doesn't say anything now. I'm fairly certain that Hypno is able to move the pendulum around as it is not stated to be an explicit part of its body, so it doesn't make trivia. I deleted it. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

== Should this be mentioned? ==

In one of Hypno's Pokedex entries in a different language (Pretty sure it was german, but im not sure) it mentions that Hypno "Brings children and Pokemon into it's cave to be alone with them."
I think that this should be noted in the article...

[[User:Pokemon nomekop|Pokemon nomekop]] ([[User talk:Pokemon nomekop|talk]]) 21:03, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
:Looking at the German, French, and Italian dex entries, it mentions nothing in that ballpark, and I'm willing to bet the Spanish entries don't, either. So, that would be false. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 21:56, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

== Ancestry. ==

Was gonna say this in the edit reason, but I accidentaly published it before I had written it down. Anyway, regarding Drowzee’s ancestry with Munna, I also disagree that it is speculation that Hyno is somehow not decended from Munna because it is only stated for Drowzee. The best analogy I have is saying that only the larval forms of butterflies can share ancestry, which is preposterous. If one of the adults didn’t have ancestry, that would mean that the larvas neither did.--[[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 18:09, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
:Pokédex entries say things regarding evolved forms that don't make sense all the time. Like how Kadabra is implied to be formed from a boy with psychic powers. To imply that Abra has the same origin would be speculation. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:27, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
::It doesn't have to make sense to you. Kadabra's entry was explained by the old Red/Green book to be a novel, and even if we didn't understand it as well, it would just mean ''some'' Kadabra was created like that.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 19:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
:::There's also Froslass who is said to have been formed when the spirit and lingering regrets of a lost woman who died in the snowy mountains possessed an icicle. To say that the same origin applies to Snorunt would be speculation. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:13, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
::::Both of those examples are false analogies. Creation is not the same thing as evolution, and both involve supernatural means, which evolution is not.--[[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 19:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
:::::I'd still argue that it's technically speculation. I also find it odd that we are phrasing it with certainty on this page when it is stated to be a 'belief' or 'thought' on Drowzee's page and in its Pokédex entry, respectively. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:48, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
::::::If you want to focus on just ancestry, this brings in to question other Pokémon ancestries, like Omastar being the ancestor to Octillery. Is Omanyte then also an ancestor to Remoraid? I feel like this muddies the waters a bit too much. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:54, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
:::::::It’s difficult to say anything for certain. Pokédex entries are worded to give Pokémon some mysticism to them. You know what? I say we just revert my edit, although I hesitate to imply that I have changed my stance, -assuming that Drowzee shares ancestry with Munna- and Remoraid could have simply popped up later on.--[[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 20:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
{{indent}}Don't get me wrong, I agree that logically Hypno would also be considered a relative of Munna and Musharna, but like you said, Pokédex entries are already purposefully vague and mythical, so taking these beliefs and old stories and making further inferences upon them just obscures things even more, and we don't know if Hypno could have popped up later as well. If everyone's okay with it, I'd say to go ahead and revert it, especially considering Force Fire has the final say as an admin anyway and has already reverted it twice. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 20:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
:Agreed.--[[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 20:15, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
::People being able to use their noggin doesn't make things official or confirmed. It's still people speculating and theorizing. The dex entry only applies to Drowzee, so only Drowzee gets it. Game Freak could just decide, for whatever reason, that it doesn't count for Hypno.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:45, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

== No fainting animation in Colosseum? ==
According to this clip, Hypno is missing fainting animation in Colosseum only. Worthy of mention in the Trivia section? https://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon/clip/OriginalAmericanConsoleTwitchRPG-VYGvHTr4HuPT89nS?lang=sv

Incineroar is a {{wp|humanoid}} {{wp|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler's tank top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and bursts from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches. Incineroar is an expert on no-holds-barred battles. The flames from its navel can reach a temperature of up to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and on-lookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks. Incineroar usually attacks first by unleashing ferocious punches and flinging furious kicks, and then it finishes the opponent by spewing fire from its navel. It is a violent Pokémon with rough, aggressive, and egotistical behavior. It will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Despite this, it finds fighting unworthy opponents boring and gets motivated to fight a challenging one. Weak or injured opponents also cause them to lose the desire to fight, which others sometimes use to their advantage.

It also values the attention of the crowd as Incineroar's spirit goes up while the crowd is excited or falters when the crowd is bored. When Incineroar's fighting spirit rises, so does the temperature around its navel waist. While it tends to act like a {{wp|heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, Incineroar is very happy internally when receiving the admiration of children or young Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170718173730/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/incineroar/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site (archived page) | Incineroar]</ref> It is also willing to help out children and small Pokémon, further showing its hidden soft side.

In [[Generation VII]], {{m|Darkest Lariat}} was its signature move.

Incineroar is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
* Incineroar is the only evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to have a lower [[base stats|base stat]] than its pre-evolved forms. Its base {{stat|Speed}} stat is 30 points lower than {{p|Torracat}}'s and 10 points lower than {{p|Litten}}'s.

===Origin===
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}. It also has traits of {{wp|domestic cat}}s. Its shiny form may be based on a {{wp|white tiger}}.

Incineroar's hidden soft side in contrast to its outrageous behaviors could allude to maintaining [[wp:Kayfabe|kayfabe]], the fictional narrative within professional wrestling that says everything that happens in-and-around a match is real. Its desire to please the crowd above all else strengthens the idea that its behaviors are simply its [[wp:Gimmick_(professional_wrestling)|gimmick]].

====Name origin====
Incineroar is a combination of ''incinerate'' and ''roar''.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー ''gao'' (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame).

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, Munchlax is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Munchlax is a teal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream spot on its chest resembling a bib. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax is known to eat an enormous amount of food daily to equal its own body weight. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its Evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

===Evolution===
Munchlax evolves into {{p|Snorlax}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use Munchlax:
** [[Professor Rowan]] sends out a Munchlax during {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}'s intro sequence.
** {{ga|Barry}} owns a Munchlax in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It eventually evolves into a {{p|Snorlax}}.
** The [[player's house]]'s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is seen to have a Munchlax living with them, possibly belonging to {{gal|Mum|their mother}}.
** [[Mai]] owns a Munchlax in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He plays an important role and mechanic in the [[Daybreak]] storyline, where he is able to determine the Pokémon who spawn within a [[Massive mass outbreak]] by feeding him [[Aguav Berry|Aguav Berries]]. Munchlax is also battled throughout the plot and in rematches against Mai. As custom of the [[Diamond Clan]], Munchlax is not kept in a Poké Ball, often being seen [[Walking Pokémon|alongside his partner]].

====In the spinoff games====
* [[Pokémon Dash]]: Munchlax is one of the opponents in the Regular GP mode.
* [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A Munchlax belonging to the [[Herb Shop|Herbalist]] from [[Gateon Port]] might appear at a [[Poké Spot]] if [[Poké Snack]]s are left there, eating the bait in the place of a [[wild Pokémon]]. Its Trainer will give the player 10 Poké Snacks to replace any Munchlax ate.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Munchlax may randomly appear in [[Pokémon Square]] asking for {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}}. It will give the player a {{DL|Scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|Munch Belt}} in return. Despite being unobtainable in the game, it is programmed to evolve into Snorlax at Level 40, and is only capable of learning Tackle.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Munchlax can be chosen to be the player's first {{ra|Partner Pokémon}}, or can be obtained by clearing a quest in [[Chicole Village]].

=====Other=====

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
{{main|Lax (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax named Lax which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, he showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]]. He also often hides countless {{Berries}} under his fur to serve as distractions. He first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Munchlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Munchlax in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Munchlax walks around and uses {{a|Pickup}} to eat items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

====Trophy information====
''"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, has the lowest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Munchlax has the highest base stat total of any [[baby Pokémon]].
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in four games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]. Ordered by release date, they are: {{g|Dash}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Team Turbo|Pokémon Team Turbo]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
** Although obtainable through hacking in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Munchlax's {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number in Generation III|index number}} is the very last in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} (excluding {{p|Unown}} forms).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} instead of {{g|Dash}}. This is a similar case with {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Togepi}}.
* Munchlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.

===Design variations===
The width of Munchlax's mouth has been depicted inconsistently over time. Initially, it was shown to open from the middle of its face, as is depicted in its official artwork and in early animated series appearances. This was also evident in its in-battle sprites. However, some games, such as [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], showed Munchlax with wider mouth designs. The later 3D games and most contemporary animated appearances depict Munchlax with an even wider mouth that spans most of the line between blue and tan fur on its face. Notably, Munchlax is one of the few Pokémon whose Pokémon HOME model differs from its official artwork by incorporating this different mouth design.

===Origin===
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). Its habit of searching garbage and compost while looking for food is another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}.

====Name origin====
Munchlax may be a combination of ''munch'' (to chew on food) and ''lax'', ''relax'', or ''{{p|Snorlax}}''.

Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン ''Kabigon'' (Snorlax), ''baby'', and possibly a play on 権兵衛 ''Gonbē'' (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).

Munchlax (Pokémon)

2026-05-15T07:22:20Z

Kikugi: /* In the core series */ two things I'm not sure about: 1) is "as custom" correct wording, or should it be "as is custom"? 2) should Munchlax's pronouns be changed to "it" as per the new pronoun guidelines?

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, Munchlax is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Munchlax is a teal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream spot on its chest resembling a bib. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax is known to eat an enormous amount of food daily to equal its own body weight. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its Evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

===Evolution===
Munchlax evolves into {{p|Snorlax}}.

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

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use Munchlax:
** [[Professor Rowan]] sends out a Munchlax during {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}'s intro sequence.
** {{ga|Barry}} owns a Munchlax in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It eventually evolves into a {{p|Snorlax}}.
** The [[player's house]]'s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is seen to have a Munchlax living with them, possibly belonging to {{gal|Mum|their mother}}.
** [[Mai]] owns a Munchlax in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He plays an important role and mechanic in the [[Daybreak]] storyline, where he is able to determine the Pokémon who spawn within a [[Massive mass outbreak]] by feeding him [[Aguav Berry|Aguav Berries]]. Munchlax is also battled throughout the plot and in rematches against Mai. As custom of the [[Diamond Clan]], Munchlax is not kept in a Poké Ball, often being seen [[Walking Pokémon|alongside his partner]].

====In the spinoff games====
* [[Pokémon Dash]]: Munchlax is one of the opponents in the Regular GP mode.
* [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A Munchlax belonging to the [[Herb Shop|Herbalist]] from [[Gateon Port]] might appear at a [[Poké Spot]] if [[Poké Snack]]s are left there, eating the bait in the place of a [[wild Pokémon]]. Its Trainer will give 10 Poké Snacks to replace any Munchlax ate.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Munchlax may randomly appear in [[Pokémon Square]] asking for {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}}. It will give the player a {{DL|Scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|Munch Belt}} in return. Despite being unobtainable in the game, it is programmed to evolve into Snorlax at Level 40, and is only capable of learning Tackle.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Munchlax can be chosen to be the player's first {{ra|Partner Pokémon}}, or can be obtained by clearing a quest in [[Chicole Village]].

=====Other=====
Munchlax debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it played a supporting role as the {{pkmn|movie}}'s comic relief, and made it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in animated media. It eventually evolved into a Snorlax in order to stay afloat in the [[Block Bot]] flood.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', [[Kylie]] used a Munchlax alongside [[Roman]]'s {{p|Snorlax}} in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. It was quickly defeated by Sudowoodo's {{m|Double-Edge}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
{{main|Lax (Adventures)}}
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax named Lax which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, he showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]]. He also often hides countless {{Berries}} under his fur to serve as distractions. He first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Munchlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Munchlax in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Munchlax walks around and uses {{a|Pickup}} to eat items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

====Trophy information====
''"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, has the lowest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Munchlax has the highest base stat total of any [[baby Pokémon]].
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in four games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]. Ordered by release date, they are: {{g|Dash}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Team Turbo|Pokémon Team Turbo]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
** Although obtainable through hacking in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Munchlax's {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number in Generation III|index number}} is the very last in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} (excluding {{p|Unown}} forms).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} instead of {{g|Dash}}. This is a similar case with {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Togepi}}.
* Munchlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.

===Design variations===
The width of Munchlax's mouth has been depicted inconsistently over time. Initially, it was shown to open from the middle of its face, as is depicted in its official artwork and in early animated series appearances. This was also evident in its in-battle sprites. However, some games, such as [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], showed Munchlax with wider mouth designs. The later 3D games and most contemporary animated appearances depict Munchlax with an even wider mouth that spans most of the line between blue and tan fur on its face. Notably, Munchlax is one of the few Pokémon whose Pokémon HOME model differs from its official artwork by incorporating this different mouth design.

===Origin===
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). Its habit of searching garbage and compost while looking for food is another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}.

====Name origin====
Munchlax may be a combination of ''munch'' (to chew on food) and ''lax'', ''relax'', or ''{{p|Snorlax}}''.

Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン ''Kabigon'' (Snorlax), ''baby'', and possibly a play on 権兵衛 ''Gonbē'' (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

Along with {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}, Munchlax is one of the three {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} of [[Almia]] available at the beginning of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

==Biology==
Munchlax is a teal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream spot on its chest resembling a bib. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax is known to eat an enormous amount of food daily to equal its own body weight. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its Evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

===Evolution===
Munchlax evolves into {{p|Snorlax}}.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use Munchlax:
** [[Professor Rowan]] sends out a Munchlax during {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}'s intro sequence.
** {{ga|Barry}} owns a Munchlax in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It eventually evolves into a {{p|Snorlax}}.
** The [[player's house]]'s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] is seen to have a Munchlax living with them, possibly belonging to {{gal|Mum|their mother}}.
** [[Mai]] owns a Munchlax in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He plays an important role and mechanic in the [[Daybreak]] storyline, where he is able to determine the Pokémon who spawn within a [[Massive mass outbreak]] by feeding him [[Aguav Berry|Aguav Berries]]. Munchlax is also battled throughout the plot and in rematches against Mai. As custom of the [[Diamond Clan]], Munchlax is not kept in a Poké Ball, often being seen along side his partner.

====In the spinoff games====
* [[Pokémon Dash]]: Munchlax is one of the opponents in the Regular GP mode.
* [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A Munchlax belonging to the [[Herb Shop|Herbalist]] from [[Gateon Port]] might appear at a [[Poké Spot]] if [[Poké Snack]]s are left there, eating the bait in the place of a [[wild Pokémon]]. Its Trainer will give 10 Poké Snacks to replace any Munchlax ate.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Munchlax may randomly appear in [[Pokémon Square]] asking for {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}}. It will give the player a {{DL|Scarf (Mystery Dungeon)|Munch Belt}} in return. Despite being unobtainable in the game, it is programmed to evolve into Snorlax at Level 40, and is only capable of learning Tackle.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Munchlax can be chosen to be the player's first {{ra|Partner Pokémon}}, or can be obtained by clearing a quest in [[Chicole Village]].

=====Other=====
Munchlax debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it played a supporting role as the {{pkmn|movie}}'s comic relief, and made it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in animated media. It eventually evolved into a Snorlax in order to stay afloat in the [[Block Bot]] flood.

In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', [[Kylie]] used a Munchlax alongside [[Roman]]'s {{p|Snorlax}} in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. It was quickly defeated by Sudowoodo's {{m|Double-Edge}}.

{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax named Lax which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, he showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]]. He also often hides countless {{Berries}} under his fur to serve as distractions. He first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Munchlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Munchlax in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Munchlax walks around and uses {{a|Pickup}} to eat items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

====Trophy information====
''"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, has the lowest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Munchlax has the highest base stat total of any [[baby Pokémon]].
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in four games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]. Ordered by release date, they are: {{g|Dash}}, {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Team Turbo|Pokémon Team Turbo]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]].
** Although obtainable through hacking in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Munchlax's {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number in Generation III|index number}} is the very last in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} (excluding {{p|Unown}} forms).
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} instead of {{g|Dash}}. This is a similar case with {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Togepi}}.
* Munchlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.

===Design variations===
The width of Munchlax's mouth has been depicted inconsistently over time. Initially, it was shown to open from the middle of its face, as is depicted in its official artwork and in early animated series appearances. This was also evident in its in-battle sprites. However, some games, such as [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], showed Munchlax with wider mouth designs. The later 3D games and most contemporary animated appearances depict Munchlax with an even wider mouth that spans most of the line between blue and tan fur on its face. Notably, Munchlax is one of the few Pokémon whose Pokémon HOME model differs from its official artwork by incorporating this different mouth design.

===Origin===
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). Its habit of searching garbage and compost while looking for food is another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}.

====Name origin====
Munchlax may be a combination of ''munch'' (to chew on food) and ''lax'', ''relax'', or ''{{p|Snorlax}}''.

Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン ''Kabigon'' (Snorlax), ''baby'', and possibly a play on 権兵衛 ''Gonbē'' (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).

'''Blackthorn City''' (Japanese: '''フスベシティ''' ''Fusube City'') is a city located in northeast [[Johto]]. It is home to the [[Blackthorn Gym]], led by the [[Gym Leader]] [[Clair]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Geography==
Blackthorn City is a large city with a fairly small population and two exits. To the north is the [[Ice Path]], and to the south is Route 45, Johto's longest vertical area that connects to the southernmost points of the region. In [[Generation IV]], a river from Route 45 crosses over into Blackthorn itself. According to a resident in Blackthorn, most residents hailing from the city end up being Dragon-type specialists (such as Clair and [[Lance]]) perhaps due in-part to the [[Dragon's Den]]. Due to its overall location within Johto, Blackthorn is depicted as a mountainous region, with many ledges that the player can only traverse on their way down.

In [[Generation II]], all of the houses in Blackthorn had distinct black grooves, including buildings such as the Gym and Pokémon Center. Grass only grows in the top half of the city, and it connected directly to Route 45 by a small path.

In [[Generation IV]], the city appears completely different. The area now has uniquely designed houses with what appears to be straw rooves, although buildings such as the Gym and Pokémon Center now appear the same as the rest within the region. Its overall layout is far more jagged than in Gold and Silver, complete with new obstacles such as broken tree trunks and large pointed stones, a stark contrast to the smoother stones that are now littered throughout the area. Grass and flowers now grow all throughout the edges of the city, especially when closest to the water. Frost appears to creep in from the entrance to the [[Ice Path]], which tints the grass a lighter green before transitioning into the darker color seen throughout Blackthorn. Both due to the further height elevation and accompanying river added in [[Generation IV]], a wooden bridge now connects the city to Route 45.

==Points of interest==
===Blackthorn Gym===
{{main|Blackthorn Gym}}
The Blackthorn Gym is the official Gym of Blackthorn City. It specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Clair]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rising}}. It will be closed prior to Team Rocket's defeat because Clair is training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. After being defeated, Clair is so outraged by her defeat that she refuses to hand over the Rising Badge, forcing the player to go to the Dragon's Den before the Badge can be acquired.

===Dragon's Den===
{{main|Dragon's Den}}
A clan of masters of {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon have lived in the city for generations. The masters built the [[Dragon's Den]], a cavern with an underground lake that contains a shrine to Dragon Pokémon, as well as the elders of the Dragon clan. An Ace Trainer in the Pokémon Center claims that it's a special cave for Gym Leaders to train themselves. The entrance is located behind the Gym, across a small pond, while the main cavern seems to be located underneath the city itself. It is inaccessible before defeating [[Clair]] in the [[Blackthorn Gym]], as it is blocked off by a man in front of the cave, and then it must be traversed to finally obtain the {{badge|Rising}}.

Besides the strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that dwell within the cavern, the Master of the Dragon User Clan can be found here, and he will quiz the {{player}} on their attitude towards and treatment of their Pokémon. Correct answers will be rewarded, in {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}, with a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. and [[Clair]] will visit to reward the player with the {{badge|Rising}} she refused to award in the [[Blackthorn Gym|Gym]], as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}{{sup/2|GSC}} or {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

In [[Generation IV]], Clair and Lance appear for a [[Multi Battle]] if the player and {{ga|Silver}} have already battled at [[Mt. Moon]]. Following this, Silver can be found here, contemplating his training on [[Time#Time-specific events|Tuesdays and Thursdays]].

===Santos===
{{main|Week Siblings}}
[[Week Siblings|Santos]] can be found in the city on Saturdays. When the player encounters him for the first time, he'll give out a [[Spell Tag]]{{sup/2|GSC}} or [[Soft Sand]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and then a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Snooze Ribbon}} all other times after the first encounter.{{sup/4|HGSS}}

===In-game trade===
{{main|In-game trade}}
In Gold and Silver, there is a house northeast of the Pokémon Center where the player can trade a female {{p|Dragonair}} to obtain a {{p|Rhydon}} holding a [[Bitter Berry]]

In Crystal, HeartGold, SoulSilver, the character trades the player a {{p|Dodrio}} holding a [[Smoke Ball]] instead.

===Move Deleter and Move Tutor===
The Move Deleter can be found in a house to the left of the [[Poké Mart]]. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] it knows. The Move Deleter's service can be used to delete moves exclusive to Generation II, so that Pokémon can be traded to a [[Generation I]] game via the [[Time Capsule]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the move deleter shares his house with [[Johto]]'s [[Move Reminder]], who will teach a move the Pokémon was previously able to learn in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. There are also two Move Tutors: [[Wilma|one]] who will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and another who will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to the fully evolved {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} [[first partner Pokémon]], respectively. Like the Move Deleter, the tutors do not charge for their services.

==Walking Pokémon quotes==
[[Walking Pokémon]] can have reactions unique to Blackthorn City. Any quote below where the area says "anywhere" requires interacting with the Pokémon.

==Development==
As of at least the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld 1997 demo]], Blackthorn City did not exist, as the entire map did not resemble the final design for Johto at all. Another map from earlier in development was left in the final release of Gold & Silver, as well as Crystal, as Map '''2A:4C34'''.

This (and the larger map of Johto from this time period) shows that the Ice Path was not in the games until later in development, with an entrance to the city in the west from {{rt|44|Johto}} and [[Mahogany City]]. Additionally, the Dragon's Den does not appear to be present, though the overall idea for a vertically-oriented map seems to have been planned for some time. It's possible that the tower on the rightmost side of the map was related to Clair's eventual challenge before plans were changed, as the Blackthorn Gym is still present, just in the southeast of the map instead. Grass occupies the majority of the map layout unlike in the final, where it is relatively sparse compared to the dirt and rocks around the area, which are also missing in this build. Blackthorn's buildings also lack their unique roof designs at this time.

==In animation==
[[File:Blackthorn City anime.png|thumb|250px|Blackthorn City in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Blackthorn City first appeared in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} witnessed an age-old ritual performed by [[Clair]] at the Riverhead Falls, a waterfall that is also the source of Blackthorn's main river. In [[EP252|the following episode]], Ash took part in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, but it was interrupted by {{TRT}}'s theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. They chased the trio through the [[Dragon's Den]] to the [[Dragon Holy Land]]. Here, Ash reunited with his {{AP|Charizard}}. In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Clair and Ash restarted their battle, and Ash managed to earn his {{badge|Rising}}. He and his friends left the city in [[EP255|the next episode]], headed for [[New Bark Town]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', the plane {{an|Dawn}} was taking to [[Johto]] to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]] was mentioned to make a stop in Blackthorn City.

{{an|Iris}} visited Blackthorn City in [[BWS02]]. During her visit, she found out that a {{TP|Iris|Gible}} had been causing damage on the town by chewing off bits of benches, fountains, and such. Later, after saving Gible from falling off of a clock tower, Iris found out that Gible had wound up into the city by accident, and offered to take it away. She then met Clair, and together they took Gible to the Dragon Holy Land. After Iris's battle against Clair at the Blackthorn Gym, Gible appeared again, showing that it wanted to come with Iris. Accepting the offer, Iris then {{pkmn2|caught}} the {{pkmn|category|Land Shark Pokémon}} with a {{i|Poké Ball}}.

In ''[[HZ096|Crash!

After letting Rayquaza rest for while longer, Liko, Roy, and Ult returned to it in [[HZ129]], where the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, fully recovered now, challenged Roy and Ult to a {{pkmn|battle}} to gauge their strength. Although Ult was defeated, Roy was able to win, after which Rayquaza allowed itself to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by him, before leaving to reassemble the [[Six Heroes]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Blackthorn City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Blackthorn City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Blackthorn City first appeared in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where Clair was seen {{pkmn|training}} at her Gym before heading to [[Dragon's Den]], where she encountered and battled {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', [[Iris]] revealed that Blackthorn City, also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], was her hometown. It was also where she had first met [[Drayden]], who had brought her to the [[Unova]] region to train.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The song '''[[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection|Sevii Islands: Four & Five Islands]]''' is a remix of the song '''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Azalea Town]]''' from [[Generation II]], shared with Blackthorn City, that is played on [[Four Island (town)|Four]] and {{OBP|Five Island|town}}s in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In the English versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the {{p|Dratini}} in one of the houses is interacted with and the [[Coin Case]] is used immediately afterward, {{DL|Coin Case glitches|Dratini glitch|a glitch}} will be triggered. This causes the Coin Case's display to change to "''Which move?he pp of''" permanently, unless the game is rebooted without [[Save|saving]].
* Blackthorn City is similar to that of [[Unova]]'s [[Opelucid City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the fact that both of these cities house the final [[Gym]] of their respective regions (which is {{type|Dragon}} in both cases) and are the tenth cities that the {{player}} encounters.
* There is an error on the [[Trainer Tips]] sign in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It says that [[wild Pokémon]] appear regularly when walking and not [[Running Shoes|running]] through [[tall grass]], when it is in fact the opposite.
** There is likely a missing word in the first line, and could have been meant to read as: "Wild Pokémon will appear ''less'' regularly if you don't run, but walk quietly in the tall grass."
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Professor Elm]]'s phone call after obtaining the {{Badge|Rising}} is triggered specifically by re-entering Blackthorn City. If the player blacks out before leaving [[Dragon's Den]] while their last-used [[Pokémon Center]] was in a different place, Professor Elm will not call. However, he will call after {{m|fly}}ing to Blackthorn City or entering through [[Ice Path]]. He will still be expecting the player in [[New Bark Town]] if the call is avoided.

Kikugi: /* Rock Smash */ why did it say "randomly" as if the others aren't? precentages already imply all of them can appear at random

'''Cliff Cave''' (Japanese: '''だんがいのどうくつ''' ''Cliff Cave'') is a cave introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is located on {{rt|47|Johto}}.

==Geography==
Cliff Cave has three floors. The lower floor contains [[breakable rock]]s. However, they do not appear until the {{player}} has acquired the [[National Pokédex]]. Inside Cliff Cave, the player can either go up or down; each path contains its own perks. Going down and out from Cliff Cave leads the player to the sea; where the only [[tall grass]] on {{rt|47|Johto}} can be accessed with {{m|Waterfall}}, and [[Embedded Tower]] can be accessed with {{m|Rock Climb}}. The upper path will take travelers to {{rt|48|Johto}} and the [[Johto Safari Zone]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Cliff Cave Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Cliff Cave in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
The Cliff Cave first appeared in ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', where it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] had a base inside it. Over the years following {{adv|Giovanni}}'s disappearance, [[Carr]] had gathered weapons, equipment, and former Team Rocket members into the hideout, intending to revive and take control of Team Rocket himself. However, he was soon overthrown and imprisoned by the four {{tc|Executive}}s. Later, [[Proton]] was seen in the base, conducting his search for the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. After [[Petrel]] had lost the [[Plate]]s he had been gathering to {{ga|Silver}}, the imprisoned Carr revealed to him that Silver was Giovanni's son, giving Petrel the idea to pretend having saved Silver from the other Executives and become Giovanni's right-hand man.

List of background references to Pokémon

2026-05-11T15:04:07Z

Kikugi: /* Television */ this is the last correction, I swear

{{PA|pa<nowiki/>ge}}
{{fan speculation}}
This is a list of '''background references to Pokémon''', instances where non-[[Pokémon]] media make a minor mention of the Pokémon franchise, merely use a Pokémon catchphrase, or have a Pokémon character or item briefly appear in the background or as a visual gag. The following list is sorted alphabetically by the name of the work making the reference.

Substantive references that play an important role or refer to specific details of the franchise can be found on the [[list of references to Pokémon in popular culture]].

The flavor text of card "Troubled Double" is "'Concede now!' 'Or prepare to fight!'", which is also a reference to [[Team Rocket motto]] in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Japanese translation is just literally translated from English, not based on original Japanese line (ホワイトホール、白い明日が待ってるぜ).

Hello, I am a BIG Pokémon Fan I would LOVE to help edit on Bulbapedia! I have edited other things before, Such as Fandom ([http://Fandom.com Fandom.com]). In Fandom, there is a thing called "Visual Editor", where you can edit the page, while still seeing the preview. But I am not familiar with Bulbapedia, and I don't know how to do stuff for editing. If someone could show some tools on how to edit Bulbapedia, That would be really helpful. Thanks!

== questions about regarding some of Rival Blues pokemon team Moves (Fire red Leaf green) ==

Hello wasent sure where to discuss this, but i found that in a video i have a link to that when a youtuber used a ditto in a fire red run he copied Rival Blues growlithe's moves in Silph Co, and turns out it had the moves Odor Sleuth, and Helping Hand, not Roar and Leer which are applied along the other recently correct moves already applied to it which are Take Down and Flame Wheel respectively, can anyone else confirm what other correct moves are for Exeggcute, i could be wrong but im sure that the correct moves it has are confusion, stun spore and the other two moves im not sure, and apart of me thinks its not hypnosis but rather, Leech Seed, poison powder, or sleep powder? and also for the last Route 22 fight with Rival blue im starting to wonder what the correct moves are for the growlithe and exeggcute TBH im starting to wonder what moves are even right on blues pokemon from beginning to end in fire red and leaf green some look like they were coping some of the old red and blue moves and mixing them up with the new and improved moves on his pokemon... I might be mistaken but im not sure, can anyone shed some light on this? id like to do a play through and make sure that the right moves are correct on Blues party from oaks lab to the final battle so that everyone knows the correct moves are on which pokemon. also please if anyone could please send me the correct moves Blue uses on his Blastoise team in Pokemon tower, Silph Co., Route 22 and final Battle with him choosing Blastoise? thanks!

When adding images in the visual editor, it always says "no images found". This is because images are stored on the BG Archives, and MediaWiki treats the BG Archives as a completely different wiki.

== clarification on information of tiles independant of trendy phrase in the article for finding feebas in gen 3 ==
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hoenn_Route_119#Finding_Feebas

hello

so i noticed on the article about finding feebas it states that "The tiles' locations are independent of the [[trend]] in [[Dewford Town]], although the tiles' location will change every time the trend does." when i was shiny hunting for feebas i found that when the trendy phrase repeats to a previous phrase, it had the same feebas locations as before, which would mean the tiles are dependant to the trendy phrase. i dont have any video footage, just my own experience , but if theres anyway i can verify it for you let me know. thanks!

==Deleting/reworking the link templates==
For the average editor, the link templates are vague and confusing when viewing them in the editor, and the amount of time spent trying to figure what each template means, as well as which template to use, outweighs the minute benefits of the templates being used to shorten titles. For example, it's not obvious that the [[Template:A|A template]] stands for "abilities." Also, these templates can break when pages are renamed, merged, or split. Most of these templates should be deprecated or deleted, with any usage of the templates being removed.

Also, identifiers shouldn't be needed when there is only one page that has a title, nor if it would be the most frequently-searched title; it just ends up being more work when linking it from other articles. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:17, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
:What? Templates help makes editing easier so you don't have to type out <nowiki>[[Guts (Ability)|Guts]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> in full. A good chunk of the wiki uses link templates. And if they were to be moved or whatever, the bot can simply re-link them accordingly. If you are unsure what template to use or what each template means, you can simply check {{bp|List of link templates}}.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:25, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
::Okay, but I think the template names should be more intuitive to the average editor. For example, the average editor is not going to know what Template:A does if they've never looked at the template; it'd be better if the template was named Template:Ability; giving the editor the idea that the template is an identifier template for Pokémon [[Ability|Abilities]]. However, even then I don't really see the point of having multiple identifier templates, especially if a general identifier template in the format {id:<Article name>|<identifier>} could be used instead. (There's currently a total of 437 link templates.) Not to mention that identifiers are redundant if there is only one page under that title.

::Here's some examples of how the link templates can be renamed to be more intuitive:
::* Template:2ct → Template:2 counters
::* Template:2v → Template:2 versions (Can't figure out how to account for Template:2v2; maybe "Template:2 versions 2"?)
::* Template:A → Template:Ability
::* Template:Acolor → Template:Ability color
::* Template:Acce link → Template:Accessory link
::* Template:Aow → Template:Overworld animation (Also Template:Overworld ani, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Adv → Template:Adventures
::* Template:B → Template:Berry
::* Template:Bt → Template:Bulbapedia talk
::* Template:BTImg → Template:Battle Trozei image (Also Template:Battle Trozei img, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Ci → Template:City
::* Template:E → Template:Energy
::* Template:H → Template:Help
::* Template:I → Template:Item
::* Template:M → Template:Move
::* Template:N → Template:News
::* Template:P → Template:Pokémon
::* Template:Spr → Template:Sprite
::* Template:T → Template:Type
::* Template:U → Template:User (Possible conflict with [[Template:User|another template with the same name]].)
::* Template:V → Template:Version
::* Template:Wp → Template:Wikipedia
::* Template:Yt → Template:Youtube
::* Template:Ytu → Template:YouTube user

::I'm all for improving accessibility for visitors and users alike, and I'd prefer having to type templates that require more characters but are more intuitive to other editors than typing templates requiring less characters but are less intuitive to other editors. If there are other suggestions on making link template names more intuitive, let me know. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
:::The point of a link template is to shorten linking, hence why the link templates are only one or a few letters. If users are unsure of what templates to use or what they mean, they can always ask, go to the template page, or use the list of link templates page I linked. And identifiers are used if you want to link one word of the article without linking to a redirect or disambiguation page. Typing out <nowiki>[[Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to a disambiguation page, whereas <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to the species article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:55, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
::::Link templates have short names so they're quicker to use in the source editor. Sure, a person who has never looked at the template may not know what it's for, but one click to go the template page will tell them what the template is, what it stands for, and how to use it. Additionally, when each new user is {{template|welcome}}d, they're recommended to go through the policies and best practices of the wiki, which includes {{bp|list of link templates}}: a list of all templates with quick examples of how to use them. We're adding documentation and TemplateData (a new feature on the wiki) to older templates to make them easier to use, so that should also make it clearer what they stand for. Lastly, Link templates will also make it easier if pages titles are reworked in the future. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 08:58, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

==Requiring citations for foreign names, dates, and age ratings==
I'm thinking of adding all of the foreign names for the Pokémon books, adding citations for the foreign names. With the lack of citations for foreign names, a visitor or user cannot tell if the foreign name is real or was fabricated. I think that foreign names should be cited, so that visitors and users can know that the name actually originated from a source rather than having been fabricated. Dates and age ratings should also be cited for the same reason. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 19:04, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

== the look changed ==

I made an account so that I can occasionally discuss or edit if needed, but now I think I'll stay signed out. The website immediately gets more rough and looks worse the moment you sign in. On the other Wikimedia-based wikis, and on Wikipedia itself, it looks the same when signed in and signed out. Is there a way to keep the design but add things needed for editors? [[User:Curry and sandwiches|Curry and sandwiches]] ([[User talk:Curry and sandwiches|talk]]) 19:36, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

:Actually, the whole main page is the same signed in or out, it just has lower quality images and everything has been crammed to the side and top *with* the signed-in options. It's harder to search, for one. I'm not trying to mindlessly yap, but I do feel that the experience could be improved.

::You can change the logged in skin from a list of options in the appearance tab of [[Special:Preferences]]. '''[[User:4iamking|4iamking]]''' 19:47, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
:::Do note however that the logged out skin, BulbapediaMonobook, is not being maintained anymore and will have issues. If you'd like something closer to the logged out skin in appearance, but is a bit more editor-friendly, you can use BulbaVector, though this skin is currently under development and will also have issues, so feel free to let us know if you experience any problems and we can note them for our tech.

:With the release of the new BulbaVector skin today, the old m.bulbapedia mobile subdomain has been retired, so links are redirected to the regular bulbapedia subdomain like on desktop [[User:Thespeon|Thespeon]] ([[User talk:Thespeon|talk]]) 21:09, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
::Will it be reintegrated? It looks pretty janky on a mobile device. [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 00:23, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
:::The new BulbaVector skin is meant to be a responsive skin, so you should have a mobile view on mobile, and a desktop view on desktop.
:::If you're seeing a desktop view on mobile while logged in, there's two possible causes that come to mind:
:::# Check the appearance settings in your account preferences, and make sure the box for "Enable responsive mode" is ticked.
:::# In your web browser, make sure that your browser settings aren't requesting a desktop version instead of the mobile version.
:::[[User:Archaic|Archaic]] ([[User talk:Archaic|talk]]) 00:29, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
::::It is enabled, and the mobile version is being requested. It still looks super desktop-ish. The previous layout was more fitting for mobile, is that what it's expected to look like on mobile? [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 06:44, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::The new responsive skin is built on top of the same Vector 2022 skin that Wikipedia uses. Just to confirm you are properly seeing our mobile version, can you take a quick look there and compare what you're seeing on mobile across the two sites?
:::::If you want to use the old mobile skin, you can change the skin to "MinervaNeue" in your preferences. Please be aware however that this is a non-responsive mobile-only skin, so you would need to manually change back when you accessed from desktop if you didn't want the same skin there.

If you're on Discord you could join the chat in the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbagarden server], or you could join the [https://bulbagarden.net/forums/ Bulbagarden forums] and I'm sure there'll be a thread for Champions discussion.

==Userspace limits==

Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage.

Friendship Evolution

2026-05-09T04:03:42Z

Kikugi: /* In the core series games */ no friendship evolution needs a held item, the only ones where any kind of item is involved are Espeon and Umbreon with KEY items

[[File:Friendly evolution.png|thumb|right|200px|Early explanation about friendship Evolution (''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 19)]]
'''Friendship Evolution'''<ref>''"Perhaps the trickiest type of evolution is the '''Friendship Evolution'''. If you treat your Pokémon with utmost respect and care until it is very happy and very attached to you, it will evolve."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 5</ref> refers to the process of [[Evolution|evolving]] a Pokémon with high [[friendship]]. This [[Methods of Evolution|method of Evolution]] was introduced in [[Generation II]].

This has also been referred to as '''Friendly Evolution'''<ref>''"I have concluded that several Pokémon will evolve only when they are very attached to their Trainers—a process called '''Friendly Evolution'''."'' - ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Complete Pokédex]]'', page 19</ref><ref>''"Umbreon and Espeon are the result of '''Friendly Evolution''', and Eevee won't evolve into either until it really trusts you."'' - ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #140, page 80</ref> and '''Evolution by Friendship'''.<ref>[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] game manual, section "Get the Evolution Items", page 43 (American version) or page 39 (European version)</ref>

==In the core series games==
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolve when they are leveled up with enough [[friendship]]. As long as the Pokémon has the required amount of friendship, unless there are other requirements for its Evolution, it will attempt to evolve whenever it levels up by {{pkmn|battle}} or [[Rare Candy]]. However, in the case of certain Pokémon, the friendship Evolution may only be available at certain times of day, it may require [[Key Item|having an item]] or knowing a certain [[move]].

This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This is the same generation where the feature of all Pokémon having a friendship value was introduced, as opposed to the early friendship mechanic from {{game|Yellow}} which only applied to [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the partner Pikachu]].

[[Baby Pokémon]] often have this Evolution requirement, but it is also an Evolution requirement for other Pokémon, and not all baby Pokémon have this as an Evolution requirement

===Generations II to VII===
From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|VII}}, a Pokémon requires at least 220 friendship in order to evolve.

In these generations, a level 100 Pokémon is unable to evolve by leveling up. Since the friendship Evolution involves leveling up, a Pokémon with this level is unable to evolve by friendship.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Eevee}} is unable to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} due to the lack of the [[time]] feature even though those games are compatible with the evolved forms traded from other games.

===Generation VIII onwards===
From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, a Pokémon requires at least 160 friendship in order to evolve.

If a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its Evolution requirements (including friendship), it will evolve without gaining a level.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], all friendship Evolutions up to [[Generation III]] are available except {{p|Eevee}} is unable to evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} due to the lack of the [[time]] feature. However, both evolved forms are otherwise available together as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]].

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], all friendship Evolutions up to [[Generation III]] are available. However, instead of evolving during the day or at night, an {{p|Eevee}} with high enough friendship evolves into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} if the player has the [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]] in the [[Bag]], respectively.

Since the player is required to choose only one of {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Evolution item]]s to be obtained on [[Gateon Port]], Eevee's Evolution into Espeon or Umbreon is only available once per game and it is not possible to have both Shards in the Bag at the same time.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, and Explorers of Sky====
{{main|IQ|section=Evolution}}

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the [[IQ]] mechanic serves as the replacement for friendship. The number of IQ stars required varies between species.

The IQ mechanic is used for the available friendship Evolutions (for instance, a {{p|Pichu}} with high IQ can evolve into {{p|Pikachu}}).

The requirement of evolving during the day or the night is replaced by using a {{MD evo item|Sun Ribbon}} or {{MD evo item|Lunar Ribbon}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], although [[IQ]] was replaced by [[Team Skill]]s, neither of them is required for friendship-based Evolutions. Instead, a hidden stat is used in place of a Pokémon's friendship. This stat increases by 2 when a Pokémon enters a dungeon.

{{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Azurill}} require a value of 10 to evolve, while {{p|Woobat}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, and {{p|Eevee}} require 20.

The requirement of evolving during the day or the night is replaced by using a {{MD evo item|Heart of the Sun|g=V}} or {{MD evo item|Heart of the Moon|g=V}}.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], all friendship Evolutions are readily available with no requirement. For instance, any {{p|Pichu}} can simply evolve into {{p|Pikachu}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], all the methods of Evolution other than [[level-based Evolution|Evolution by level]] were replaced by {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.

A Pokémon needs 2 Evolution Crystals to evolves into its 2nd stage, or 4 Evolution Crystals to evolve into its 3rd stage.

===Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire===
In [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], it is possible to evolve caught Pokémon that would normally require friendship in the core series games.

Like all Evolutions in this game, this is achievable in the Evolution Mode by simply choosing that Pokémon (such as {{p|Golbat}} evolving into {{p|Crobat}}) and then obtaining a certain {{pin|Evolution Item}} three times somewhere on the Pinball table under the deadline (usually 2 minutes, which can be extended using the {{pin|Pokémon Mart|Timer Bonus}}). In the case of friendship Evolution, the Evolution item is a heart symbol ([[File:Pinball RS Friendship.png]]). Once this is done, the player's Poké Ball is required to enter the Center Hole to finish this process. There is a short Pokémon Evolution animation, and then the evolved form will count as caught in the {{pin|Pokédex}}.

In this game, the four friendship Evolution lines from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] are available:

{| class="roundtable" style="background:#{{cute color}}; border:5px solid #{{cute color}}; text-align: center;"

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Munchlax}}'s trophy mentions its Evolution: ''"Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''

==In animation==
{{incomplete|section|Check if any other friendship Evolutions occur in animation}}
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Many Pokémon have evolved through friendship Evolution throughout {{aniseries|PTS}}. The vast majority of these friendships have been between Trainer and Pokémon, though other times it may be triggered on its own, or from loyalty and gratefulness from another Pokémon. This was demonstrated when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was shown to have evolved from a {{p|Pichu}}, in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', out of gratitude from a {{p|Kangaskhan}} taking care of him when he was younger.

Pokémon availability

2026-05-07T18:02:49Z

Kikugi: /* Level Availability */

There are various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}. In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[Evolution]]. There are various [[methods of Evolution]], such as by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[Evolution stone]], or via [[trade]]. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, [[gift Pokémon]], and through {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be traded from another game or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

Up to and including [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from {{LGPE}} onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===First partner Pokémon===
{{main|First partner Pokémon}}
The [[first partner Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}}, the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s or [[friend]]s also has a first partner Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

In {{game|Yellow}} and {{LGPE}}, the player instead receives the {{type|Electric}} {{p|Pikachu}} or {{type|Normal}} {{p|Eevee}} as their first Pokémon.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}
The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water tile|water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}
Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}
In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[first partner Pokémon]], some [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all first partner Pokémon or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}). Across the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the first 150 Pokémon can be obtained without events.

The Japanese Pokémon Red and Green each feature 135 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 11 exclusive to each version and 4 obtained through [[trade Evolution]]. 137 Pokémon are available in the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}, with 11 Pokémon only found on other versions and 2 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Gengar}} can now be obtained from in-game trades. The international releases of Pokémon Red and Blue feature identical Pokémon distributions to the Japanese Red and Green, respectively.

{{game|Yellow}} similarly features 134 Pokémon available without trading, with 13 Pokémon only found on other versions and 3 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Machamp}} can be received in-game. Only [[Pikachu (Yellow)|a single Pikachu]] is available as the player's first Pokémon; this {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon. Across the original releases of [[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver|Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], only 232 Pokémon are available without events, as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and their respective Evolutions cannot be obtained. However, all of these Pokémon excluding Mew and Celebi can be obtained by trading with Generation I games; additionally, the [[Virtual Console]] release of Pokémon Crystal includes Celebi as a non-event Pokémon, for a total of 233 available Pokémon.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal each feature 212 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 10 Pokémon only found on other versions and 10 trade Evolutions, as well as the aforementioned unobtainable Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild Celebi if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation II|distributed]] in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game including international releases, bringing the total to 213 available Pokémon.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}). Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys are normally available in the Nintendo Switch releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, for a total of 383 available Pokémon.

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ({{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this Generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the Evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but {{p|Eevee}} cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] are available across both games; the first 133 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available, as well as 47 Pokémon from Generation I and 20 Pokémon from Generation II. Ruby and Sapphire each have 186 Pokémon available without trading, with 8 version-exclusive Pokémon and 6 trade Evolutions. {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} can be caught in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire respectively through the [[Eon Ticket]] event.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
Across {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 212 Pokémon available in-game. This increases to 215 Pokémon (adding {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) for the Nintendo Switch release, as two previously event-exclusive items (the MysticTicket and the AuroraTicket), that unlock an area each, become obtainable through normal gameplay.

The first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game, subject to trading between versions. The remaining 62 (or 65) Pokémon additionally require the [[National Pokédex]] and are obtained in the post-game along with {{p|Mewtwo}}. 60 (or 62, counting Lugia and Ho-Oh) of these Pokémon are from [[Generation II]], while 2 other Generation II Pokémon offspring, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}, (as well as Deoxys) are from [[Generation III]]. Other than a single {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Raikou}}/{{p|Entei}}/{{p|Suicune}} encounter in Kanto, these non-Kanto Pokémon can all obtained around the latter four [[Sevii Islands]] via encounters or from a gift, by {{pkmn|breeding}} on [[Four Island]], or by [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|Evolution]].

The [[MysticTicket]] allows for Ho-Oh and Lugia to both be caught on [[Navel Rock]], while the [[AuroraTicket]] allows Deoxys to be caught on [[Birth Island]]. {{p|Mew}} was an event-exclusive giveaway and therefore cannot be obtained in the Switch release.

Up to 25 Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Misdreavus}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, and {{p|Larvitar}}) are available to be repeatedly caught in the Sevii Islands.

Only 11 Pokémon species need to be bred to be obtained, consisting of the 9 out of 10 [[baby Pokémon]] as of Generation III ({{pkmn2|Gift}} {{p|Togepi}} is the 10th), and 2 more {{p|Tyrogue}} to evolve into the other {{p|Hitmonlee}}/{{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. Additionally, 4 Pokémon ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}) are exclusively obtained in [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trades]] and thus have to be bred (and evolved in the case of Jynx) to obtain them in one's own Trainer name and ID. The items needed to obtain the 2 Generation III baby Pokémon, as well as the 6 cross-generational [[trade Evolution]]s, are obtainable in the post-game.

A total of 59 Pokémon cannot be obtained in-game without evolving. 35 of these are from Generation I and consist of: the 16 Kanto Pokémon that evolve by [[Evolution stone]]s as of Generation III; the 6 Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}} Evolutions; the 4 Kanto trade Evolutions ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Gengar}}); {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}; and 7 others ({{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, one of Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, {{p|Rhydon}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}). The remaining 24 are from Generation II, with Magcargo being the sole exception for Generation II as it is catchable in [[Mt. Ember]]. Additionally, {{p|Seadra}} can only be caught in FireRed, and {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, and {{p|Dragonair}} can only be caught in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}. However, Nidorina and Nidorino can also be obtained in in-game trades in FireRed and LeafGreen, respectively.

Without trading or transfers, Pokémon FireRed has 170 (or 173) Pokémon available versus Pokémon LeafGreen having 171 (or 174) available. Both versions have 13 Kanto and 8 Johto [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#FireRed and LeafGreen|version-exclusives]], but LeafGreen additionally has Azurill exclusive. Apart from these 22 or 21 missing Pokémon, and the 10 trade Evolutions, another 10 are missed due to branched choices: 6 of the Kanto first partner Pokémon (2 evolutionary lines), 2 fossil Pokémon (either the {{p|Kabuto}} or {{p|Omanyte}} line) and 2 of the [[Legendary beasts]]. 2 of the trade Evolutions, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Slowking}}, evolve from version-exclusive {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Slowpoke}} from FireRed and LeafGreen respectively, so may account for an additional version-exclusive each depending on definition.

All Pokémon except the 7 (or 10) in-game {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] (19 in Gen III in total) have the potential to be obtained in-game repeatedly due to almost every other Pokémon being able to be obtained through a combination of breeding an obtained Pokémon and evolving where necessary. {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}, the two others that can't be bred, can be repeatedly encountered and caught. Restricting to FireRed and LeafGreen in-game availability, at most 1 out of 3 save files can possess the full 212 (or 215) available Pokémon because only 1 out of 3 Legendary beasts are obtainable per save file.

An additional 22 Pokémon can also be seen in in-game trainer teams but not caught: 5 exclusive to the [[Trainer Tower]] ({{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Granbull}}, and {{p|Corsola}}) and 17 ({{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Noctowl}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Flaaffy}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Sunkern}}, {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Miltank}}) in locations around {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}} and {{isl|Seven}} Islands.

=====Variant Availability=====

{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} combined have up to 239 [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] (or 243 in the Nintendo Switch release format) to collect in-game. This includes the 212 species (215 with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) along with the 27 other {{p|Unown}} forms, plus the (AuroraTicket) Deoxys Forme locked to the opposite version (Attack{{Sup/3|FR}} or Defense{{Sup/3|LG}}). All forms are also available {{pkmn2|Shiny}} and have a 1/8192 chance to be Shiny except Unown, which has different odds depending on its form and the save file's Trainer and Secret IDs.

There are a total of 418 (or 422) gender-form combinations of in-game Pokémon, which is just below the maximum storage of 426 (14 boxes of 30 plus 6 party slots). 179 species have 2 genders, resulting in 358 combinations. The remaining 60 (or 64) combinations result from 8 male-only species ({{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}), 8 female-only species ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, and {{p|Blissey}}), and 44 (or 48) gender unknown forms (28 Unown; 8 from the {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Staryu}}, and {{p|Porygon}} lines; 8 consisting of {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}; and the remaining 4 of Lugia, Ho-Oh, and both version-locked Deoxys).

A total of 322 (or 326) [[List of Pokémon by Ability|Ability]]-form combinations of in-game Pokémon exist, consisting of 129 (or 132) species with 1 Ability, 83 species with 2 Abilities (166 combinations), and an additional 27 Unown forms (and 1 extra version-locked Deoxys) with 1 Ability. 8 Pokémon with a single gender (Magnemite, Voltorb, Chansey, Staryu and their Evolutions) have 2 abilities, therefore a minimum of 426 (or 430) Pokémon are needed to collect both Ability and gender combinations separately.

=====Level Availability=====

All but five Pokémon ({{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}) can be obtained at level 50 or below. {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} are obtained exactly at level 50, while Deoxys is obtained at level 30. {{p|Kadabra}} needs to be evolved from {{p|Abra}} to obtain it below level 50.

117 in-game Pokémon are available at level 5. This includes the unevolved Pokémon in 72 out of the 78 Kanto [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] ({{p|Ditto}}, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}} cannot be bred) and 24 out of the 51 Johto evolutionary lines ({{p|Unown}}, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia and Ho-Oh cannot be bred, and the rest aren't obtainable), with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} also being able to be bred via items, bringing the total so far to 98. Another 4 species ({{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}) can be found in early routes at level 5 or below, and a further 4 species ({{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}) [[Trade Evolution|evolve by trade]] while holding an item. 10 more evolve via [[Evolution stone]] ({{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}); and finally, {{p|Electrode}} can be received in an [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trade]] for Raichu.

At level 70, Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh are the highest level encounters; otherwise Ditto and Kadabra at level 67 in the [[Cerulean Cave]] are the highest level wild Pokémon.

Level 2 is the lowest level one can obtain a Pokémon at: {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}} on {{rt|1|Kanto}}, and {{p|Mankey}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}}. {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu and Jigglypuff are catchable at level 3; and Metapod{{Sup/3|LG}} and Kakuna{{Sup/3|FR}} at level 4.

=====Availability by Poké Ball=====

All 5 Generation I [[Poké Ball]]s (the [[Poké Ball (item) | Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], [[Master Ball]], and [[Safari Ball]]), as well as the 7 Generation III Poké Balls (the [[Net Ball]], [[Dive Ball]], [[Nest Ball]], [[Repeat Ball]], [[Timer Ball]], [[Luxury Ball]], and [[Premier Ball]]) are compatible with these games. However, the Dive Ball and Premier Ball are not available in-game and must be traded in. Furthermore, only 1 Master Ball is obtainable in-game, and the Luxury, Nest and Net Balls cannot be bought in these games.

* All Pokémon can be obtained in the Poké Ball, although the 4 Safari-Zone-exclusives ({{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) need to be bred to obtain them in the Poké Ball. {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Blissey}} must then be evolved from the bred Rhyhorn and Chansey, respectively.

* Up to 39 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the Safari Ball: 16 in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}'s tall grass ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Doduo}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, Rhyhorn, Chansey, Kangaskhan, {{p|Scyther}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Pinsir}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, and Tauros), 8 in the water ({{p|Psyduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and {{p|Dragonair}}), and 15 via Evolution only ({{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Golduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Slowbro}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, Rhydon, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Politoed}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and Blissey).

* All except 42 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the other types of Poké Ball. The exceptions are the the 24 {{pkmn2|gift}}-related Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Togepi}}, and {{p|Tyrogue}} lines, in addition to {{p|Aerodactyl}}), the remaining 8 Generation II and III [[baby Pokémon]], the 6 Safari-Zone-exclusive and their Evolutions (Rhydon, Rhydon, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Tauros, and Blissey), and the 4 [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game-trade]]-exclusives ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}).

====Pokémon Emerald====
{{game|Emerald}} features most of the Pokémon found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Particularly, 187 of the Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire are available without trading, with 6 trade Evolutions for these Pokémon and 7 Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire. After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon become available (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Several of those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games. In total, Pokémon Emerald has 220 Pokémon available without trading or connecting with other games.

In Emerald, the player can receive one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, which requires trading with Ruby and Sapphire. {{p|Surskit}}, which is one of the Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire, can also be found on the wild by [[record mixing]] with either of these two games.

Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys can also be caught in this game as with FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Mew}} can be caught on [[Faraway Island]] with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew [[List of English event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere]] unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, there are 63 available Pokémon outside of trades: 2 Pokémon that the player starts with ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|48 Shadow Pokémon]], 11 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Plusle}} as gifts. 3 more Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}, can be found in the [[Card e Room]] exclusive to the Japanese version, while {{p|Celebi}} can also be obtained in the Japanese version through the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], for a total of 67 obtainable Pokémon.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, there are 163 available Pokémon outside of trades: the single Pokémon that the player starts with, {{p|Eevee}}, and its 5 [[Eeveelution]]s in Gen III (of which [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|only one can be obtained]]), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 37 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, 9 [[Poké Spot|wild Pokémon]] and their 12 Evolutions, 4 Pokémon received from in-game trades ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Meditite}}) and their 3 Evolutions, the 3 [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 Evolutions of Johto first partner Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}; this is the only way to obtain these two Pokémon in the Generation III games without events. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV with Pokémon [[Pokémon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokémon Pearl|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]], with 4 Pokémon only being obtainable (outside of events) by transferring from a Generation III game ({{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three {{g|Ranger series}} games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Aside from Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 397 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. The first 150 Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] can be caught (excluding {{p|Manaphy}}), which includes 32 Pokémon from Generation I, 22 from Generation II, 16 from Generation III, and 80 Pokémon introduced in these games. After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] and [[Poké Radar]], 247 more Pokémon become available: 88 from Generation I, 55 from Generation II, 87 from Generation III, and 17 Pokémon introduced in these games, for a total of 120, 77, 103, and 97 Pokémon from each Generation respectively.

363 Pokémon are available without trading or other game connectivity in Diamond and Pearl (138 in the Sinnoh Pokédex, 225 in the National Pokédex), with 14 [[trade Evolution]]s and 19 version-exclusive Pokémon in each game. Furthermore, {{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond and Pearl, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times, requiring connections with other players through the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

36 Pokémon from previous Generations can be obtained through the [[dual-slot mode]] in Diamond and Pearl, which requires inserting a core series Generation III game in the Nintendo DS system (16 from Generation I, 8 from Generation II, and 12 from Generation III). Additionally, any Pokémon caught in a core series Generation III game can be transferred over to Diamond and Pearl via [[Pal Park]], whereupon Pokémon cannot be sent to a Generation III game afterwards; prior to the release of later Generation IV games, these were the only ways to obtain {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}, as their respective pre-[[Evolution]]s aren't available in either game otherwise. These methods aren't possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. All Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

====Pokémon Platinum====
{{game|Platinum}} includes most of the Pokémon available in Diamond and Pearl, along with all of its methods required to obtain Pokémon in the game. 382 Pokémon are available without trading or connecting with another game, with only 12 Pokémon exclusive to Diamond and Pearl and the following 12 exclusive to Platinum: {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}. As Magmar and Electabuzz can now be obtained, they can be traded with another game to obtain {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Electivire}}, adding up to 411 Pokémon available across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
427 Pokémon are available across {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Most of the Generation I and II Pokémon are available in the game, except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, while 117 Pokémon from Generation III and 61 Pokémon from Generation IV are also available; most of these Pokémon are obtained after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], with some of the cross-generational Evolutions from Generation IV being available before then. Together with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this allows players to obtain nearly every single Pokémon created up to this point without requiring a Generation III game, the compatibility for which had been dropped from Nintendo DS models starting with the Nintendo DSi.

391 Pokémon are available in Pokémon HeartGold, while 389 Pokémon are available in SoulSilver, with each version having 19 and 21 Pokémon only found on the other version, respectively. 16 Pokémon are only obtained as a trade Evolution, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

Despite their pre-Evolutions appearing in the game, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[Evolution]] since there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. 21 Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (13 from Generation III and 8 from Generation IV). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{B2W2}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, 464 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. 150 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are event-exclusive), while 314 Pokémon from previous Generations become available after obtaining the National Pokédex: 110 Pokémon from Generation I, 65 from Generation II, 86 from Generation III, and 53 from Generation IV.

340 Pokémon are available in Pokémon Black without connecting to another game, while 432 are available in Pokémon White, with 18 version exclusives and 6 trade Evolutions for each game. {{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

Particularly, Pokémon White features [[White Forest]], a location featuring exclusive Pokémon that normally requires Pokémon White players to connect with Pokémon Black in order to obtain every single Pokémon in it; however, several of its [[evolutionary line]]s can be obtained without connecting to Pokémon Black if the player reaches White Forest within a certain amount of days after the save is first created. 92 Pokémon are potentially available in White Forest without trading or connecting with Pokémon Black: 29 from Generation I, 16 from Generation II, 35 from Generation III, and 12 from Generation IV, with 8 trade Evolutions for some of these Pokémon ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}}) for a total of 100 Pokémon available in White Forest.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{B2W2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon]]).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[forces of nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever first partner Pokémon was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex]] (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary lines, via Evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to {{LGPE}}, there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the {{g|Bank}}. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon]] in the first pair of games and was expanded to [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon]] in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{main|Pokémon availability (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)}}
{{LGPE}} are both compatible with 153 Pokémon species, being the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games. There are three [[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meltan}}, and {{p|Melmetal}}) which are not found in-game but are available by other means. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and 15 Kanto [[Mega Evolution]]s available in Generation VII.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from {{LGPE}} can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|distributed]] in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Duraludon}} with the [[Gigantamax]] Factor cannot be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon HOME]] to games other than {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Since these Pokémon are unable to [[evolution|evolve]] in Pokémon Sword and Shield, this is to prevent them from evolving in other games.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary lines.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via Evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; but apart from [[transfer]]s, 3 ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Arceus}}) are only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es, and 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via events. The remaining 2 [[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task (Legends: Arceus)|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.

Unlike in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, these remakes are also compatible with the multiple appliance {{p|Rotom}} forms, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, which were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}, and with the {{type|Fairy}} {{p|Arceus}} introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. There are no [[regional form]]s in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{main|Pokémon availability (Legends: Arceus)}}
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]]. In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new [[Hisuian form]]s.

===Generation IX===

Pokémon availability

2026-05-07T17:49:16Z

Kikugi: /* Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen */

There are various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}. In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[Evolution]]. There are various [[methods of Evolution]], such as by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[Evolution stone]], or via [[trade]]. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, [[gift Pokémon]], and through {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be traded from another game or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

Up to and including [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from {{LGPE}} onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===First partner Pokémon===
{{main|First partner Pokémon}}
The [[first partner Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}}, the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s or [[friend]]s also has a first partner Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

In {{game|Yellow}} and {{LGPE}}, the player instead receives the {{type|Electric}} {{p|Pikachu}} or {{type|Normal}} {{p|Eevee}} as their first Pokémon.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}
The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water tile|water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}
Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}
In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[first partner Pokémon]], some [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all first partner Pokémon or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}). Across the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the first 150 Pokémon can be obtained without events.

The Japanese Pokémon Red and Green each feature 135 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 11 exclusive to each version and 4 obtained through [[trade Evolution]]. 137 Pokémon are available in the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}, with 11 Pokémon only found on other versions and 2 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Gengar}} can now be obtained from in-game trades. The international releases of Pokémon Red and Blue feature identical Pokémon distributions to the Japanese Red and Green, respectively.

{{game|Yellow}} similarly features 134 Pokémon available without trading, with 13 Pokémon only found on other versions and 3 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Machamp}} can be received in-game. Only [[Pikachu (Yellow)|a single Pikachu]] is available as the player's first Pokémon; this {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon. Across the original releases of [[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver|Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], only 232 Pokémon are available without events, as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and their respective Evolutions cannot be obtained. However, all of these Pokémon excluding Mew and Celebi can be obtained by trading with Generation I games; additionally, the [[Virtual Console]] release of Pokémon Crystal includes Celebi as a non-event Pokémon, for a total of 233 available Pokémon.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal each feature 212 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 10 Pokémon only found on other versions and 10 trade Evolutions, as well as the aforementioned unobtainable Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild Celebi if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation II|distributed]] in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game including international releases, bringing the total to 213 available Pokémon.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}). Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys are normally available in the Nintendo Switch releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, for a total of 383 available Pokémon.

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ({{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this Generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the Evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but {{p|Eevee}} cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] are available across both games; the first 133 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available, as well as 47 Pokémon from Generation I and 20 Pokémon from Generation II. Ruby and Sapphire each have 186 Pokémon available without trading, with 8 version-exclusive Pokémon and 6 trade Evolutions. {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} can be caught in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire respectively through the [[Eon Ticket]] event.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
Across {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 212 Pokémon available in-game. This increases to 215 Pokémon (adding {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) for the Nintendo Switch release, as two previously event-exclusive items (the MysticTicket and the AuroraTicket), that unlock an area each, become obtainable through normal gameplay.

The first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game, subject to trading between versions. The remaining 62 (or 65) Pokémon additionally require the [[National Pokédex]] and are obtained in the post-game along with {{p|Mewtwo}}. 60 (or 62, counting Lugia and Ho-Oh) of these Pokémon are from [[Generation II]], while 2 other Generation II Pokémon offspring, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}, (as well as Deoxys) are from [[Generation III]]. Other than a single {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Raikou}}/{{p|Entei}}/{{p|Suicune}} encounter in Kanto, these non-Kanto Pokémon can all obtained around the latter four [[Sevii Islands]] via encounters or from a gift, by {{pkmn|breeding}} on [[Four Island]], or by [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|Evolution]].

The [[MysticTicket]] allows for Ho-Oh and Lugia to both be caught on [[Navel Rock]], while the [[AuroraTicket]] allows Deoxys to be caught on [[Birth Island]]. {{p|Mew}} was an event-exclusive giveaway and therefore cannot be obtained in the Switch release.

Up to 25 Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, {{p|Spinarak}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Hoppip}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Misdreavus}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}, {{p|Qwilfish}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, and {{p|Larvitar}}) are available to be repeatedly caught in the Sevii Islands.

Only 11 Pokémon species need to be bred to be obtained, consisting of the 9 out of 10 [[baby Pokémon]] as of Generation III ({{pkmn2|Gift}} {{p|Togepi}} is the 10th), and 2 more {{p|Tyrogue}} to evolve into the other {{p|Hitmonlee}}/{{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. Additionally, 4 Pokémon ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}) are exclusively obtained in [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trades]] and thus have to be bred (and evolved in the case of Jynx) to obtain them in one's own Trainer name and ID. The items needed to obtain the 2 Generation III baby Pokémon, as well as the 6 cross-generational [[trade Evolution]]s, are obtainable in the post-game.

A total of 59 Pokémon cannot be obtained in-game without evolving. 35 of these are from Generation I and consist of: the 16 Kanto Pokémon that evolve by [[Evolution stone]]s as of Generation III; the 6 Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}} Evolutions; the 4 Kanto trade Evolutions ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Gengar}}); {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}; and 7 others ({{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, one of Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, {{p|Rhydon}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}). The remaining 24 are from Generation II, with Magcargo being the sole exception for Generation II as it is catchable in [[Mt. Ember]]. Additionally, {{p|Seadra}} can only be caught in FireRed, and {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, and {{p|Dragonair}} can only be caught in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}. However, Nidorina and Nidorino can also be obtained in in-game trades in FireRed and LeafGreen, respectively.

Without trading or transfers, Pokémon FireRed has 170 (or 173) Pokémon available versus Pokémon LeafGreen having 171 (or 174) available. Both versions have 13 Kanto and 8 Johto [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#FireRed and LeafGreen|version-exclusives]], but LeafGreen additionally has Azurill exclusive. Apart from these 22 or 21 missing Pokémon, and the 10 trade Evolutions, another 10 are missed due to branched choices: 6 of the Kanto first partner Pokémon (2 evolutionary lines), 2 fossil Pokémon (either the {{p|Kabuto}} or {{p|Omanyte}} line) and 2 of the [[Legendary beasts]]. 2 of the trade Evolutions, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Slowking}}, evolve from version-exclusive {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Slowpoke}} from FireRed and LeafGreen respectively, so may account for an additional version-exclusive each depending on definition.

All Pokémon except the 7 (or 10) in-game {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] (19 in Gen III in total) have the potential to be obtained in-game repeatedly due to almost every other Pokémon being able to be obtained through a combination of breeding an obtained Pokémon and evolving where necessary. {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}, the two others that can't be bred, can be repeatedly encountered and caught. Restricting to FireRed and LeafGreen in-game availability, at most 1 out of 3 save files can possess the full 212 (or 215) available Pokémon because only 1 out of 3 Legendary beasts are obtainable per save file.

An additional 22 Pokémon can also be seen in in-game trainer teams but not caught: 5 exclusive to the [[Trainer Tower]] ({{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Granbull}}, and {{p|Corsola}}) and 17 ({{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Noctowl}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Flaaffy}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Sunkern}}, {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Miltank}}) in locations around {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}} and {{isl|Seven}} Islands.

=====Variant Availability=====

{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} combined have up to 239 [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] (or 243 in the Nintendo Switch release format) to collect in-game. This includes the 212 species (215 with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) along with the 27 other {{p|Unown}} forms, plus the (AuroraTicket) Deoxys Forme locked to the opposite version (Attack{{Sup/3|FR}} or Defense{{Sup/3|LG}}). All forms are also available {{pkmn2|Shiny}} and have a 1/8192 chance to be Shiny except Unown, which has different odds depending on its form and the save file's Trainer and Secret IDs.

There are a total of 418 (or 422) gender-form combinations of in-game Pokémon, which is just below the maximum storage of 426 (14 boxes of 30 plus 6 party slots). 179 species have 2 genders, resulting in 358 combinations. The remaining 60 (or 64) combinations result from 8 male-only species ({{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}), 8 female-only species ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, and {{p|Blissey}}), and 44 (or 48) gender unknown forms (28 Unown; 8 from the {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Staryu}}, and {{p|Porygon}} lines; 8 consisting of {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}; and the remaining 4 of Lugia, Ho-Oh, and both version-locked Deoxys).

A total of 322 (or 326) [[List of Pokémon by Ability|Ability]]-form combinations of in-game Pokémon exist, consisting of 129 (or 132) species with 1 Ability, 83 species with 2 Abilities (166 combinations), and an additional 27 Unown forms (and 1 extra version-locked Deoxys) with 1 Ability. 8 Pokémon with a single gender (Magnemite, Voltorb, Chansey, Staryu and their Evolutions) have 2 abilities, therefore a minimum of 426 (or 430) Pokémon are needed to collect both Ability and gender combinations separately.

=====Level Availability=====

All but five Pokémon ({{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}) can be obtained at level 50 or below. {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} are obtained exactly at level 50, while Deoxys is obtained at level 30. {{p|Kadabra}} needs to be evolved from {{p|Abra}} to obtain it below level 50.

117 in-game Pokémon are available at level 5. This includes the unevolved Pokémon in 72 out of the 78 Kanto [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] ({{p|Ditto}}, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}} cannot be bred) and 24 out of the 51 Johto evolutionary lines ({{p|Unown}}, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia and Ho-Oh cannot be bred, and the rest aren't obtainable), with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} also being able to be bred via items, bringing the total so far to 98. Another 4 species ({{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}) can be found in early routes at level 5 or below, and a further 4 species ({{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}) [[Trade Evolution|evolve by trade]] while holding an item. 10 more evolve via [[Evolution stone]] ({{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}); and finally, {{p|Electrode}} can be received in an [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trade]] for Raichu.

At level 70, Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh are the highest level encounters; otherwise Ditto and Kadabra at level 67 in the [[Cerulean Cave]] are the highest level wild Pokémon.

Level 2 is the lowest level you can obtain a Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}} on {{rt|1|Kanto}}, and {{p|Mankey}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}}. {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu and Jigglypuff are catchable at level 3; and Metapod{{Sup/3|LG}} and Kakuna{{Sup/3|FR}} at level 4.

=====Availability by Poké Ball=====

All 5 Generation I [[Poké Ball]]s (the [[Poké Ball (item) | Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], [[Master Ball]], and [[Safari Ball]]), as well as the 7 Generation III Poké Balls (the [[Net Ball]], [[Dive Ball]], [[Nest Ball]], [[Repeat Ball]], [[Timer Ball]], [[Luxury Ball]], and [[Premier Ball]]) are compatible with these games. However, the Dive Ball and Premier Ball are not available in-game and must be traded in. Furthermore, only 1 Master Ball is obtainable in-game, and the Luxury, Nest and Net Balls cannot be bought in these games.

* All Pokémon can be obtained in the Poké Ball, although the 4 Safari-Zone-exclusives ({{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) need to be bred to obtain them in the Poké Ball. {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Blissey}} must then be evolved from the bred Rhyhorn and Chansey, respectively.

* Up to 39 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the Safari Ball: 16 in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}'s tall grass ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Doduo}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, Rhyhorn, Chansey, Kangaskhan, {{p|Scyther}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Pinsir}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, and Tauros), 8 in the water ({{p|Psyduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and {{p|Dragonair}}), and 15 via Evolution only ({{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Golduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Slowbro}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, Rhydon, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Politoed}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and Blissey).

* All except 42 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the other types of Poké Ball. The exceptions are the the 25 {{pkmn2|gift}}-related Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Togepi}}, and {{p|Tyrogue}} lines, in addition to {{p|Aerodactyl}}), the remaining 8 Generation II and III [[baby Pokémon]], the 6 Safari-Zone-exclusive and their Evolutions (Rhydon, Rhydon, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Tauros, and Blissey), and the 4 [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game-trade]]-exclusives ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}).

====Pokémon Emerald====
{{game|Emerald}} features most of the Pokémon found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Particularly, 187 of the Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire are available without trading, with 6 trade Evolutions for these Pokémon and 7 Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire. After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon become available (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Several of those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games. In total, Pokémon Emerald has 220 Pokémon available without trading or connecting with other games.

In Emerald, the player can receive one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, which requires trading with Ruby and Sapphire. {{p|Surskit}}, which is one of the Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire, can also be found on the wild by [[record mixing]] with either of these two games.

Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys can also be caught in this game as with FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Mew}} can be caught on [[Faraway Island]] with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew [[List of English event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere]] unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, there are 63 available Pokémon outside of trades: 2 Pokémon that the player starts with ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|48 Shadow Pokémon]], 11 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Plusle}} as gifts. 3 more Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}, can be found in the [[Card e Room]] exclusive to the Japanese version, while {{p|Celebi}} can also be obtained in the Japanese version through the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], for a total of 67 obtainable Pokémon.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, there are 163 available Pokémon outside of trades: the single Pokémon that the player starts with, {{p|Eevee}}, and its 5 [[Eeveelution]]s in Gen III (of which [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|only one can be obtained]]), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 37 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, 9 [[Poké Spot|wild Pokémon]] and their 12 Evolutions, 4 Pokémon received from in-game trades ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Meditite}}) and their 3 Evolutions, the 3 [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 Evolutions of Johto first partner Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}; this is the only way to obtain these two Pokémon in the Generation III games without events. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV with Pokémon [[Pokémon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokémon Pearl|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]], with 4 Pokémon only being obtainable (outside of events) by transferring from a Generation III game ({{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three {{g|Ranger series}} games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Aside from Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 397 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. The first 150 Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] can be caught (excluding {{p|Manaphy}}), which includes 32 Pokémon from Generation I, 22 from Generation II, 16 from Generation III, and 80 Pokémon introduced in these games. After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] and [[Poké Radar]], 247 more Pokémon become available: 88 from Generation I, 55 from Generation II, 87 from Generation III, and 17 Pokémon introduced in these games, for a total of 120, 77, 103, and 97 Pokémon from each Generation respectively.

363 Pokémon are available without trading or other game connectivity in Diamond and Pearl (138 in the Sinnoh Pokédex, 225 in the National Pokédex), with 14 [[trade Evolution]]s and 19 version-exclusive Pokémon in each game. Furthermore, {{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond and Pearl, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times, requiring connections with other players through the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

36 Pokémon from previous Generations can be obtained through the [[dual-slot mode]] in Diamond and Pearl, which requires inserting a core series Generation III game in the Nintendo DS system (16 from Generation I, 8 from Generation II, and 12 from Generation III). Additionally, any Pokémon caught in a core series Generation III game can be transferred over to Diamond and Pearl via [[Pal Park]], whereupon Pokémon cannot be sent to a Generation III game afterwards; prior to the release of later Generation IV games, these were the only ways to obtain {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}, as their respective pre-[[Evolution]]s aren't available in either game otherwise. These methods aren't possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. All Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

====Pokémon Platinum====
{{game|Platinum}} includes most of the Pokémon available in Diamond and Pearl, along with all of its methods required to obtain Pokémon in the game. 382 Pokémon are available without trading or connecting with another game, with only 12 Pokémon exclusive to Diamond and Pearl and the following 12 exclusive to Platinum: {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}. As Magmar and Electabuzz can now be obtained, they can be traded with another game to obtain {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Electivire}}, adding up to 411 Pokémon available across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
427 Pokémon are available across {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Most of the Generation I and II Pokémon are available in the game, except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, while 117 Pokémon from Generation III and 61 Pokémon from Generation IV are also available; most of these Pokémon are obtained after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], with some of the cross-generational Evolutions from Generation IV being available before then. Together with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this allows players to obtain nearly every single Pokémon created up to this point without requiring a Generation III game, the compatibility for which had been dropped from Nintendo DS models starting with the Nintendo DSi.

391 Pokémon are available in Pokémon HeartGold, while 389 Pokémon are available in SoulSilver, with each version having 19 and 21 Pokémon only found on the other version, respectively. 16 Pokémon are only obtained as a trade Evolution, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

Despite their pre-Evolutions appearing in the game, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[Evolution]] since there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. 21 Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (13 from Generation III and 8 from Generation IV). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{B2W2}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, 464 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. 150 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are event-exclusive), while 314 Pokémon from previous Generations become available after obtaining the National Pokédex: 110 Pokémon from Generation I, 65 from Generation II, 86 from Generation III, and 53 from Generation IV.

340 Pokémon are available in Pokémon Black without connecting to another game, while 432 are available in Pokémon White, with 18 version exclusives and 6 trade Evolutions for each game. {{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

Particularly, Pokémon White features [[White Forest]], a location featuring exclusive Pokémon that normally requires Pokémon White players to connect with Pokémon Black in order to obtain every single Pokémon in it; however, several of its [[evolutionary line]]s can be obtained without connecting to Pokémon Black if the player reaches White Forest within a certain amount of days after the save is first created. 92 Pokémon are potentially available in White Forest without trading or connecting with Pokémon Black: 29 from Generation I, 16 from Generation II, 35 from Generation III, and 12 from Generation IV, with 8 trade Evolutions for some of these Pokémon ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}}) for a total of 100 Pokémon available in White Forest.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{B2W2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon]]).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[forces of nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever first partner Pokémon was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex]] (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary lines, via Evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}

* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to {{LGPE}}, there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the {{g|Bank}}. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon]] in the first pair of games and was expanded to [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon]] in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{main|Pokémon availability (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)}}
{{LGPE}} are both compatible with 153 Pokémon species, being the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games. There are three [[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meltan}}, and {{p|Melmetal}}) which are not found in-game but are available by other means. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and 15 Kanto [[Mega Evolution]]s available in Generation VII.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from {{LGPE}} can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|distributed]] in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Duraludon}} with the [[Gigantamax]] Factor cannot be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon HOME]] to games other than {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Since these Pokémon are unable to [[evolution|evolve]] in Pokémon Sword and Shield, this is to prevent them from evolving in other games.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary lines.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times. From Regina, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Darumaka}}, and {{p|Stunfisk}} and the Alolan forms of {{p|Exeggutor}} and {{p|Marowak}} can be obtained without requiring transfer (as can the original forms of {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Linoone}}, and {{p|Darmanitan}} via Evolution). However, trades for Farfetch'd and Darumaka are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, while trades for Ponyta and Corsola are exclusive to Pokémon Shield.
** The Isle of Armor also features a {{DL|Fields of Honor|Diglett Trainer}} who owns 151 Alolan Diglett that are scattered throughout the island. The player is tasked with finding these Diglett, and the Trainer will reward them with Pokémon, most of which are Alolan forms, when they reach certain milestones. From this Diglett Trainer, the following forms of Pokémon are obtainable without requiring transfer: Alolan {{p|Meowth}} (after finding 5 Diglett), regular {{p|Slowpoke}} (after finding 10 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} (after finding 20 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Sandshrew}} (after finding 30 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Raichu}} (after finding 40 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Marowak}} (after finding 50 Diglett), Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} (after finding 75 Diglett), and Alolan {{p|Diglett}} (after finding all 151 Diglett). By evolving these Pokémon, the Alolan forms of {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and the original forms of {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} are also obtainable.
* With the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], the Galarian forms of {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} became available, as did their original forms via transfer. However, it is also possible to obtain the original forms of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres without having to transfer them, as they are among the available [[Legendary Pokémon]] in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. Galarian {{p|Slowking}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.

====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are compatible with 493 Pokémon, consisting of every Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s, as in the original {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

*491 Pokémon are obtainable in-game; but apart from [[transfer]]s, 3 ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Arceus}}) are only obtainable via [[save data bonus]]es, and 4 ({{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}}) are only obtainable via events. The remaining 2 [[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}) are only obtainable via transfer.
**In order to obtain {{p|Mew}}, the player must have save data from {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee!}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will {{pkmn2|gift}} the player a Mew when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Jirachi}}, the player must have save data from {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system. If this requirement is met, a {{tc|Madame}} in [[Floaroma Town]] will gift the player a Jirachi when spoken to.
**In order to obtain {{p|Arceus}} without transfer, the player must have save data from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} on their [[Nintendo Switch]] system, and they must have completed all of said game's 27 story [[Task (Legends: Arceus)|missions]] within this save data. If this requirement is met and the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtained the [[National Pokédex]], they can obtain the [[Azure Flute]] in their [[Player's house|house]] in [[Twinleaf Town]], which can then be used at [[Spear Pillar]] to access the [[Hall of Origin]] and {{pkmn|battle}} and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Arceus. This is only possible in Version 1.3.0 or later.
**A [[Manaphy Egg]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from November 19, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This {{pkmn|Egg}} can hatch into {{p|Manaphy}}, which can be {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}} to produce {{p|Phione}}.
**[[Oak's Letter]] was distributed through [[Mystery Gift]] via the Internet from February 27, 2022 to March 27, 2022. If the player brings this item to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, they can gain access to [[Flower Paradise]], where {{p|Shaymin}} can be encountered.

Unlike in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, these remakes are also compatible with the multiple appliance {{p|Rotom}} forms, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, which were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}, and with the {{type|Fairy}} {{p|Arceus}} introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. There are no [[regional form]]s in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
{{main|Pokémon availability (Legends: Arceus)}}
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} is compatible with 242 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation IV]]. In total, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is compatible with 369 [[forms]], including all 17 new [[Hisuian form]]s.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]], there are 1025 Pokémon, but not all of them are obtainable.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are compatible with 733 Pokémon. Of these, 692 are available in-game, 5 are event-exclusive ({{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Zarude}}, and {{p|Pecharunt}}), and the remaining 36 are only obtainable by transferring from {{g|HOME}} or through limited-time Tera Raids or other events.

* At first, only 402 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the Paldea Pokédex as well as {{p|Quagsire}} and {{p|Perrserker}} from in-game events. Scarlet and Violet together have all 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex.
* Ahead of {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, the {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} (excluding their [[Hisuian form]]s), {{p|Sobble}}, and {{p|Chespin}} lines became available in Black Crystal [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, raising the total to 426.
* Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} was made available through pre-purchasing the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, starting February 27.
* {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} were added to the game's data in Patch 1.2.0 and became available in 7 Star Tera Raid Battles from February 27, to March 12, 2023, raising the total to 428.
* Upon {{g|HOME}} being made compatible with Scarlet and Violet, 50 more Pokémon (including the aforementioned event-exclusive ones) were transferred in, raising the total to 478. This also allows the possibility to obtain a Paldea-native {{p|Kleavor}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Typhlosion}}, {{p|Samurott}}, {{p|Lilligant}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Sliggoo}}, {{p|Goodra}}, {{p|Avalugg}}, and {{p|Decidueye}} by transferring any of their pre-Evolutions to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, evolving them there, and returning them back to Scarlet and Violet.
* In version 2.0.1 of the games, with the release of [[The Teal Mask]], 95 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] (including {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}}, which requires {{p|Koffing}} to be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}} to evolve into the said form), and the [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon]] (which is also available as an [[Egg]] from [[Jacq]]), {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 587. Additionally, 3 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Ursaluna}} (via a different form; the original form still requires transferring from HOME to obtain), and {{p|Basculegion}}).
* In version 3.0.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], 124 additional Pokémon not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] or [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]] became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]], {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Solgaleo}}, {{p|Lunala}}, and {{p|Necrozma}} were added and made available through in-game events, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Cosmoem}} were made available via Pokémon HOME, bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 730. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Kubfu}}, {{p|Urshifu}}, {{p|Glastrier}}, {{p|Spectrier}}, {{p|Kleavor}} (which was previously available indirectly by transferring a {{p|Scyther}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and evolving it there), and {{p|Overqwil}}).
* Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are also compatible with 15 of the 18 [[Alolan form]]s, 8 of the 19 [[Galarian form]]s, and all 17 [[Hisuian form]]s, as well as the 4 [[Paldean form]]s.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
{{g|Legends: Z-A}} is compatible with 364 Pokémon. This includes all Pokémon that debuted in [[Generation VI]].

* At first, only 230 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the first 230 Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Lumiose Pokédex number|Lumiose Pokédex]].
* After the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A but before the release of [[Mega Dimension]], the [[Diancite]] and [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] [[Mystery Gift]]s were made available, allowing {{p|Diancie}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} to be obtained, raising the total to 232, and thus the entire Lumiose Pokédex.
* In version 2.0.0 of the game, with the release of [[Mega Dimension]], 130 additional Pokémon not present in the Lumiose Pokédex became available as part of the new [[List of Pokémon by Hyperspace Pokédex number|Hyperspace Pokédex]]. Additionally, {{p|Hoopa}} and {{p|Volcanion}}, which had internally been in Pokémon Legends: Z-A since launch, became obtainable, raising the total to 364.
* Pokémon Legends: Z-A is also compatible with 4 of the 18 [[Alolan form]]s, 8 of the 19 [[Galarian form]]s, and 4 of the 17 [[Hisuian form]]s. It is not compatible with any of the 4 [[Paldean form]]s.

Pokémon availability

2026-05-07T12:56:39Z

Kikugi: /* Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen */ proper spelling of these items, also "and" looks less informal than a /

There are various means of obtaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|games}}. In all [[core series]] games, some Pokémon may be {{pkmn2|caught}} and others are available via [[Evolution]]. There are various [[methods of Evolution]], such as by reaching a certain [[level]], using an [[Evolution stone]], or via [[trade]]. Other methods to obtain Pokémon also exist, including [[breeding]], [[in-game trade]]s, [[gift Pokémon]], and through {{pkmn2|event}}s. Some Pokémon may not be available in a certain game, but may be traded from another game or [[transfer]]red from an earlier [[generation]].

Up to and including [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], each core series game was compatible with all Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from {{LGPE}} onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

===First partner Pokémon===
{{main|First partner Pokémon}}
The [[first partner Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}}, the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} first partner Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s or [[friend]]s also has a first partner Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

In {{game|Yellow}} and {{LGPE}}, the player instead receives the {{type|Electric}} {{p|Pikachu}} or {{type|Normal}} {{p|Eevee}} as their first Pokémon.

===Wild Pokémon===
{{main|Wild Pokémon}}
The player is able to find and {{pkmn|battle}} several kinds of [[wild Pokémon]] in [[tall grass]], [[cave]]s, [[water tile|water]], etc. The wild Pokémon can be caught using a [[Poké Ball]].

===Version-exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Version-exclusive Pokémon}}
Some Pokémon are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

===Mutually exclusive Pokémon===
{{main|Mutually exclusive Pokémon}}
In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[first partner Pokémon]], some [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all first partner Pokémon or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

===Permanently missable Pokémon===
{{main|Permanently missable Pokémon}}

Some Pokémon are permanently missable. For instance, prior to {{game|Platinum}}, if the player defeats a wild Pokémon that spawned from an in-game event (such as several [[Legendary Pokémon]] and other Pokémon visible in the overworld), that Pokémon becomes unavailable in the current game. In this case, no other Pokémon of the same species will appear in the current game.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
{{main|List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon}}
In some cases, a Pokémon cannot be legitimately obtained as {{Shiny}}. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==Availability by generation==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by availability]]''

===Generation I===
In [[Generation I]], there are 151 Pokémon. 150 Pokémon are available in-game and 1 Pokémon is event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}). Across the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as well as the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the first 150 Pokémon can be obtained without events.

The Japanese Pokémon Red and Green each feature 135 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 11 exclusive to each version and 4 obtained through [[trade Evolution]]. 137 Pokémon are available in the Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}}, with 11 Pokémon only found on other versions and 2 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Gengar}} can now be obtained from in-game trades. The international releases of Pokémon Red and Blue feature identical Pokémon distributions to the Japanese Red and Green, respectively.

{{game|Yellow}} similarly features 134 Pokémon available without trading, with 13 Pokémon only found on other versions and 3 trade Evolutions, as {{p|Machamp}} can be received in-game. Only [[Pikachu (Yellow)|a single Pikachu]] is available as the player's first Pokémon; this {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

{{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} were originally exclusive to [[in-game trade]]s. For this reason, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

In this generation, the [[Pokédex]] location map does not display the Pokémon available in the [[Cerulean Cave]]. For instance, the Pokédex map claims that the location of wild {{p|Rhydon}} is unknown in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when in fact wild Rhydon is only found in the Cerulean Cave.

It is possible to trade Pokémon with the [[Generation II]] games via the [[Time Capsule]], which opens up {{pkmn|breeding}} as an option for obtaining Pokémon.

===Generation II===
In [[Generation II]], there are 251 Pokémon. Across the original releases of [[Pokémon Gold]], [[Pokémon Silver|Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], only 232 Pokémon are available without events, as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and their respective Evolutions cannot be obtained. However, all of these Pokémon excluding Mew and Celebi can be obtained by trading with Generation I games; additionally, the [[Virtual Console]] release of Pokémon Crystal includes Celebi as a non-event Pokémon, for a total of 233 available Pokémon.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal each feature 212 Pokémon available without trading or events, with 10 Pokémon only found on other versions and 10 trade Evolutions, as well as the aforementioned unobtainable Pokémon.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal for Game Boy Color, the player is able to summon a wild Celebi if they have the [[GS Ball]] that was distributed via the [[Mobile System GB]], which was shut down in 2002. In this generation, Celebi was also [[List of European language event Pokémon distributions in Generation II|distributed]] in other countries, by other means unrelated to the GS Ball. This changed in the Virtual Console release, where the GS Ball is found in-game including international releases, bringing the total to 213 available Pokémon.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], there are 386 Pokémon. 380 Pokémon are available in the [[core series]] games, and 6 Pokémon are available by other means ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}). Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys are normally available in the Nintendo Switch releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, for a total of 383 available Pokémon.

There is no way to [[transfer]] Pokémon from previous generations into Generation III. However, all Pokémon from previous generations are available in the Generation III games as well.

It is possible to trade Pokémon between the core series games and the [[Orre]]-based side series games for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] ({{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}). However, completing the [[National Pokédex]] in the core series does not require the Orre games. Almost all Pokémon found in the Orre games are also obtainable without events in the core series. Ho-Oh and Lugia are the only two exceptions, which can be obtained in the core series via the [[MysticTicket]] event or traded from the Orre games, but those two Pokémon are not required for the National Pokédex in this Generation.

{{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} are special cases in that, not counting Colosseum or XD, they require a trade to be obtained, but do not evolve by trading. The [[Time|real-time clock]] required for the Evolution is present only in Hoenn-based games, but {{p|Eevee}} cannot be obtained in these games without trading it from other games.

The form of {{p|Deoxys}} depends on which game it is in: it is in Normal Forme in Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and XD, Attack Forme in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and Speed Forme in Emerald. Its form cannot be changed without trading.

{{p|Unown}}'s ? and ! forms were originally introduced in the data of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but they were not originally found anywhere at the time of release of these games and {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. Those forms were later made available in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a planned [[Mystery Gift]] event would allow some [[Generation II]] Pokémon to appear in the [[Altering Cave]] ({{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Stantler}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}), but this event was never released. Some of these Pokémon can be found in Colosseum or XD, and they all became available elsewhere in Emerald as well.

The [[Nintendo DS]] is backwards-compatible with the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, except without any multiplayer features. Therefore, when a player uses a Nintendo DS to play the Generation III games, they are not able to trade Pokémon or connect with the GameCube.

====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the first 200 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] are available across both games; the first 133 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available, as well as 47 Pokémon from Generation I and 20 Pokémon from Generation II. Ruby and Sapphire each have 186 Pokémon available without trading, with 8 version-exclusive Pokémon and 6 trade Evolutions. {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} can be caught in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire respectively through the [[Eon Ticket]] event.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
Across {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are 212 Pokémon available in-game. This increases to 215 Pokémon (adding {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) for the Nintendo Switch release, as two previously event-exclusive items (the MysticTicket and the AuroraTicket), that unlock an area each, become obtainable through normal gameplay.

The first 150 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] are available in-game, subject to trading between versions. The remaining 62 (or 65) Pokémon additionally require the [[National Pokédex]] and are obtained in the post-game along with {{p|Mewtwo}}. 60 (or 62, counting Lugia and Ho-Oh) of these Pokémon are from [[Generation II]], while 2 other Generation II Pokémon offspring, {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}, (as well as Deoxys) are from [[Generation III]]. Other than a single {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Raikou}}/{{p|Entei}}/{{p|Suicune}} encounter in Kanto, these non-Kanto Pokémon can all obtained around the latter four [[Sevii Islands]] via encounters or from a gift, by {{pkmn|breeding}} on [[Four Island]], or by [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|Evolution]].

The [[MysticTicket]] allows for Ho-Oh and Lugia to both be caught on [[Navel Rock]], while the [[AuroraTicket]] allows Deoxys to be caught on [[Birth Island]]. {{p|Mew}} was an event-exclusive giveaway and therefore cannot be obtained in the Switch release.

Only 11 Pokémon species need to be bred to be obtained, consisting of the 9 out of 10 [[baby Pokémon]] as of Generation III ({{pkmn2|Gift}} {{p|Togepi}} is the 10th), and 2 more {{p|Tyrogue}} to evolve into the other {{p|Hitmonlee}}/{{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. Additionally, 4 Pokémon ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}) are exclusively obtained in [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trades]] and thus have to be bred (and evolved in the case of Jynx) to obtain them in your own Trainer name and ID. The items needed to obtain the 2 Generation III baby Pokémon, as well as the 6 cross-generational [[trade Evolution]]s, are obtainable in the post-game.

A total of 59 Pokémon cannot be obtained in-game without evolving. 35 of these are from Generation I and consist of: the 16 Kanto Pokémon that evolve by [[Evolution stone]]s as of Generation III; the 6 Kanto {{pkmn2|first partner}} Evolutions; the 4 Kanto trade Evolutions ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Gengar}}); {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}; and 7 others ({{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, one of Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, {{p|Rhydon}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}). The remaining 24 are from Generation II, with {{p|Magcargo}} being the sole exception for Generation II as it is catchable in [[Mt. Ember]]. Additionally, {{p|Seadra}} can only be caught in FireRed, and {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, and {{p|Dragonair}} can only be caught in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}. However, Nidorina and Nidorino can also be obtained in in-game trades in FireRed and LeafGreen, respectively.

Without trading or transfers, Pokémon FireRed has 170 (or 173) Pokémon available versus Pokémon LeafGreen having 171 (or 174) available. Both versions have 13 Kanto and 8 Johto [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#FireRed and LeafGreen|version-exclusives]], but LeafGreen additionally has Azurill exclusive. Apart from these 22 or 21 missing Pokémon, and the 10 trade Evolutions, another 10 are missed due to branched choices: 6 of the Kanto first partner Pokémon (2 evolutionary lines), 2 fossil Pokémon (either the {{p|Kabuto}} or {{p|Omanyte}} line) and 2 of the [[Legendary beasts]]. 2 of the trade Evolutions, {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Slowking}}, evolve from version-exclusive {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Slowpoke}} from FireRed and LeafGreen respectively, so may account for an additional version-exclusive each depending on definition.

All Pokémon except the 7 (or 10) in-game {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] (19 in Gen III in total) have the potential to be obtained in-game repeatedly due to almost every other Pokémon being able to be obtained through a combination of breeding an obtained Pokémon and evolving where necessary. {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}, the two others that can't be bred, can be repeatedly encountered and caught. Restricting to FireRed and LeafGreen in-game availability, at most 1 out of 3 save files can possess the full 212 (or 215) available Pokémon because only 1 out of 3 Legendary beasts are obtainable per save file.

An additional 22 Pokémon can also be seen in in-game trainer teams but not caught: 5 exclusive to the [[Trainer Tower]] ({{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Granbull}}, and {{p|Corsola}}) and 17 ({{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Noctowl}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Lanturn}}, {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Flaaffy}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Sunkern}}, {{p|Sunflora}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Pineco}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Miltank}}) in locations around {{isl|Five}}, {{isl|Six}} and {{isl|Seven}} Islands.

=====Variant Availability=====

{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} combined have up to 239 [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] (or 243 in the Nintendo Switch release format) to collect in-game. This includes the 212 species (215 with {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Deoxys}}) along with the 27 other {{p|Unown}} forms, plus the (AuroraTicket) Deoxys Forme locked to the opposite version (Attack{{Sup/3|FR}} or Defense{{Sup/3|LG}}). All forms are also available {{pkmn2|Shiny}} and have a 1/8192 chance to be Shiny except Unown, which has different odds depending on its form and the save file's Trainer and Secret IDs.

There are a total of 418 (or 422) gender-form combinations of in-game Pokémon, which is just below the maximum storage of 426 (14 boxes of 30 plus 6 party slots). 179 species have 2 genders, resulting in 358 combinations. The remaining 60 (or 64) combinations result from 8 male-only species ({{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}), 8 female-only species ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, and {{p|Blissey}}), and 44 (or 48) gender unknown forms (28 Unown; 8 from the {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Staryu}}, and {{p|Porygon}} lines; 8 consisting of {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}; and the remaining 4 of Lugia, Ho-Oh, and both version-locked Deoxys).

A total of 322 (or 326) [[List of Pokémon by Ability|Ability]]-form combinations of in-game Pokémon exist, consisting of 129 (or 132) species with 1 Ability, 83 species with 2 Abilities (166 combinations), and an additional 27 Unown forms (and 1 extra version-locked Deoxys) with 1 Ability. 8 Pokémon with a single gender (Magnemite, Voltorb, Chansey, Staryu and their Evolutions) have 2 abilities, therefore a minimum of 426 (or 430) Pokémon are needed to collect both Ability and gender combinations separately.

=====Level Availability=====

All but five Pokémon ({{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}) can be obtained at level 50 or below. {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} are obtained exactly at level 50, while Deoxys is obtained at level 30. {{p|Kadabra}} needs to be evolved from {{p|Abra}} to obtain it below level 50.

117 in-game Pokémon are available at level 5. This includes the unevolved Pokémon in 72 out of the 78 Kanto [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] ({{p|Ditto}}, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and the event-exclusive {{p|Mew}} cannot be bred) and 24 out of the 51 Johto evolutionary lines ({{p|Unown}}, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia and Ho-Oh cannot be bred, and the rest aren't obtainable), with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}} also being able to be bred via items, bringing the total so far to 98. Another 4 species ({{p|Metapod}}, {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Jigglypuff}}) can be found in early routes at level 5 or below, and a further 4 species ({{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}) [[Trade Evolution|evolve by trade]] while holding an item. 10 more evolve via [[Evolution stone]] ({{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}); and finally, {{p|Electrode}} can be received in an [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game trade]] for Raichu.

At level 70, Mewtwo, Lugia and Ho-Oh are the highest level encounters; otherwise Ditto and Kadabra at level 67 in the [[Cerulean Cave]] are the highest level wild Pokémon.

Level 2 is the lowest level you can obtain a Pokémon: {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}} on {{rt|1|Kanto}}, and {{p|Mankey}} on {{rt|22|Kanto}}. {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Spearow}}, Pikachu and Jigglypuff are catchable at level 3; and Metapod{{Sup/3|LG}} and Kakuna{{Sup/3|FR}} at level 4.

=====Availability by Poké Ball=====

All 5 Generation I [[Poké Ball]]s (the [[Poké Ball (item) | Poké Ball]], [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], [[Master Ball]], and [[Safari Ball]]), as well as the 7 Generation III Poké Balls (the [[Net Ball]], [[Dive Ball]], [[Nest Ball]], [[Repeat Ball]], [[Timer Ball]], [[Luxury Ball]], and [[Premier Ball]]) are compatible with these games. However, the Dive Ball and Premier Ball are not available in-game and must be traded in. Furthermore, only 1 Master Ball is obtainable in-game, and the Luxury, Nest and Net Balls cannot be bought in these games.

* All Pokémon can be obtained in the Poké Ball, although the 4 Safari-Zone-exclusives ({{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Tauros}}) need to be bred to obtain them in the Poké Ball. {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Blissey}} must then be evolved from the bred Rhyhorn and Chansey, respectively.

* Up to 39 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the Safari Ball: 16 in the {{ka|Safari Zone}}'s tall grass ({{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidorina}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Doduo}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, Rhyhorn, Chansey, Kangaskhan, {{p|Scyther}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Pinsir}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, and Tauros), 8 in the water ({{p|Psyduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Slowpoke}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and {{p|Dragonair}}), and 15 via Evolution only ({{p|Nidoqueen}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Golduck}}{{Sup/3|FR}}, {{p|Poliwhirl}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Slowbro}}{{Sup/3|LG}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, Rhydon, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Politoed}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and Blissey).

* All except 43 in-game Pokémon can be obtained in the other types of Poké Ball. The exceptions are the the 25 {{pkmn2|gift}}-related Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Togepi}}, and {{p|Tyrogue}} lines, in addition to {{p|Lapras}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}), the remaining 8 Generation II and III [[baby Pokémon]], the 6 Safari-Zone-exclusive and their Evolutions (Rhydon, Rhydon, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Tauros, and Blissey), and the 4 [[In-game trade#Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|in-game-trade]]-exclusives ({{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and {{p|Jynx}}).

====Pokémon Emerald====
{{game|Emerald}} features most of the Pokémon found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Particularly, 187 of the Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire are available without trading, with 6 trade Evolutions for these Pokémon and 7 Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire. After the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained, 33 [[Generation II]] Pokémon become available (almost all found in the {{ho|Safari Zone}}). Several of those Generation II Pokémon are not otherwise obtainable in the core series games, although some of them can be traded from the Orre-based side series games. In total, Pokémon Emerald has 220 Pokémon available without trading or connecting with other games.

In Emerald, the player can receive one of the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex, which requires trading with Ruby and Sapphire. {{p|Surskit}}, which is one of the Pokémon exclusive to Ruby and Sapphire, can also be found on the wild by [[record mixing]] with either of these two games.

Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys can also be caught in this game as with FireRed and LeafGreen. {{p|Mew}} can be caught on [[Faraway Island]] with the [[Old Sea Map]], an event-exclusive item which {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation III|Old Sea Map|was only legitimately distributed in Japan and Taiwan}}. However, Mew [[List of English event Pokémon distributions in Generation III|was also distributed in some other events elsewhere]] unrelated to the Old Sea Map and the Faraway Island.

====Pokémon Channel, Colosseum, and XD: Gale of Darkness====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, there are 63 available Pokémon outside of trades: 2 Pokémon that the player starts with ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|48 Shadow Pokémon]], 11 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Plusle}} as gifts. 3 more Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Mareep}}, and {{p|Scizor}}, can be found in the [[Card e Room]] exclusive to the Japanese version, while {{p|Celebi}} can also be obtained in the Japanese version through the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], for a total of 67 obtainable Pokémon.

In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, there are 163 available Pokémon outside of trades: the single Pokémon that the player starts with, {{p|Eevee}}, and its 5 [[Eeveelution]]s in Gen III (of which [[Mutually exclusive Pokémon#Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|only one can be obtained]]), [[List of Shadow Pokémon|83 Shadow Pokémon]], 37 Evolutions of Shadow Pokémon, 9 [[Poké Spot|wild Pokémon]] and their 12 Evolutions, 4 Pokémon received from in-game trades ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Meditite}}) and their 3 Evolutions, the 3 [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Battle]], and the 6 Evolutions of Johto first partner Pokémon.

{{p|Ho-Oh}} can be obtained from [[Mt. Battle]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{p|Lugia}} can be caught in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}; this is the only way to obtain these two Pokémon in the Generation III games without events. Jirachi can be obtained from {{g|Channel}} in Europe or from the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in America, while Celebi can be obtained from the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc in Japan.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], there are 493 Pokémon.

In the core series, 484 Pokémon are available in-game and 9 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}). Pokémon from the Generation III games may be [[transfer]]red to Generation IV with Pokémon [[Pokémon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokémon Pearl|Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]], with 4 Pokémon only being obtainable (outside of events) by transferring from a Generation III game ({{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regigigas}}). Prior to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were also event-exclusive. Additionally, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} may be transferred from any of the three {{g|Ranger series}} games, and {{p|Phione}} may be bred from Manaphy.

Aside from Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas, all non-event Pokémon from Generations I–IV are available in the Generation IV games and don't require the Pal Park. A Regigigas may be caught in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if the player already has Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Conversely, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel may be caught in Platinum if the player already has a [[fateful encounter]] Regigigas. The only way to obtain these Pokémon without events is to transfer the trio of [[legendary giants]] from the Generation III games via the Pal Park and use them to obtain Regigigas.

====Pokémon Diamond and Pearl====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, 397 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. The first 150 Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] can be caught (excluding {{p|Manaphy}}), which includes 32 Pokémon from Generation I, 22 from Generation II, 16 from Generation III, and 80 Pokémon introduced in these games. After obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] and [[Poké Radar]], 247 more Pokémon become available: 88 from Generation I, 55 from Generation II, 87 from Generation III, and 17 Pokémon introduced in these games, for a total of 120, 77, 103, and 97 Pokémon from each Generation respectively.

363 Pokémon are available without trading or other game connectivity in Diamond and Pearl (138 in the Sinnoh Pokédex, 225 in the National Pokédex), with 14 [[trade Evolution]]s and 19 version-exclusive Pokémon in each game. Furthermore, {{p|Spiritomb}} may be caught in the [[Hallowed Tower]] in Diamond and Pearl, but only after the player speaks with other players in the [[Underground]] at least 32 times, requiring connections with other players through the wireless features of the Nintendo DS. In this generation, the [[Pokéwalker]] is the only other place where Spiritomb is available.

36 Pokémon from previous Generations can be obtained through the [[dual-slot mode]] in Diamond and Pearl, which requires inserting a core series Generation III game in the Nintendo DS system (16 from Generation I, 8 from Generation II, and 12 from Generation III). Additionally, any Pokémon caught in a core series Generation III game can be transferred over to Diamond and Pearl via [[Pal Park]], whereupon Pokémon cannot be sent to a Generation III game afterwards; prior to the release of later Generation IV games, these were the only ways to obtain {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}, as their respective pre-[[Evolution]]s aren't available in either game otherwise. These methods aren't possible on the [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] systems, which lack a GBA slot. All Pokémon available from the dual-slot mode are also available (without the dual-slot mode) in HeartGold or SoulSilver.

====Pokémon Platinum====
{{game|Platinum}} includes most of the Pokémon available in Diamond and Pearl, along with all of its methods required to obtain Pokémon in the game. 382 Pokémon are available without trading or connecting with another game, with only 12 Pokémon exclusive to Diamond and Pearl and the following 12 exclusive to Platinum: {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Gliscor}}. As Magmar and Electabuzz can now be obtained, they can be traded with another game to obtain {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Electivire}}, adding up to 411 Pokémon available across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, and all appliance forms of {{p|Rotom}} were introduced in Platinum and are also compatible with HeartGold and SoulSilver, but they are incompatible with Diamond and Pearl.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
427 Pokémon are available across {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Most of the Generation I and II Pokémon are available in the game, except for the event-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, while 117 Pokémon from Generation III and 61 Pokémon from Generation IV are also available; most of these Pokémon are obtained after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], with some of the cross-generational Evolutions from Generation IV being available before then. Together with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this allows players to obtain nearly every single Pokémon created up to this point without requiring a Generation III game, the compatibility for which had been dropped from Nintendo DS models starting with the Nintendo DSi.

391 Pokémon are available in Pokémon HeartGold, while 389 Pokémon are available in SoulSilver, with each version having 19 and 21 Pokémon only found on the other version, respectively. 16 Pokémon are only obtained as a trade Evolution, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in the [[Embedded Tower]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain a {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}.

Despite their pre-Evolutions appearing in the game, {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Glaceon}} cannot be obtained via [[Evolution]] since there is no [[special magnetic field]], [[Moss Rock]], or [[Ice Rock]]. Those evolved Pokémon are unavailable except by trading from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

[[List of Pokémon found through the Pokéwalker|Some Pokémon can be found]] through the [[Pokéwalker]], a pedometer device that was shipped with and is able to communicate with HeartGold and SoulSilver. 21 Pokémon obtained from the Pokéwalker cannot be found normally in HeartGold and SoulSilver (13 from Generation III and 8 from Generation IV). However, all Pokémon from the Pokéwalker may be normally found in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, so the Pokéwalker is not required to find any Pokémon in this generation.

[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is event-exclusive. The {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} was a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed via events in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but if it is traded with HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to [[Ilex Forest]], then the player will obtain Spiky-eared Pichu. This can still occur even if Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves. The Spiky-eared Pichu is only available in HeartGold and SoulSilver and is unable to be traded or transferred to any other games. Only one Spiky-eared Pichu is available per game in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Generation V===
In [[Generation V]], there are 649 Pokémon.

In the core series, 636 Pokémon are available in-game and 13 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}}). Prior to the release of {{B2W2}}, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} were also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation IV may be [[transfer]]red to Generation V via [[Poké Transfer]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generation III). Some Pokémon were also available from the now-defunct [[Dream World]].

All non-event Pokémon that cannot be obtained in Generation V without Poké Transfer may be found in Generation IV (since Generation IV includes almost all of the non-event Pokémon from the previous generations). Some Pokémon available in the Dream World are not available anywhere else in Generation V (such as {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Diglett}}), but may be transferred from Generation IV as well.

====Pokémon Black and White====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, 464 Pokémon are available by trading or connecting with both games. 150 Pokémon introduced in this Generation are available ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are event-exclusive), while 314 Pokémon from previous Generations become available after obtaining the National Pokédex: 110 Pokémon from Generation I, 65 from Generation II, 86 from Generation III, and 53 from Generation IV.

340 Pokémon are available in Pokémon Black without connecting to another game, while 432 are available in Pokémon White, with 18 version exclusives and 6 trade Evolutions for each game. {{p|Landorus}} can be caught at the [[Abundant Shrine]] in both Black and White after the player trades with the opposite version to obtain {{p|Tornadus}} or {{p|Thundurus}}.

Particularly, Pokémon White features [[White Forest]], a location featuring exclusive Pokémon that normally requires Pokémon White players to connect with Pokémon Black in order to obtain every single Pokémon in it; however, several of its [[evolutionary line]]s can be obtained without connecting to Pokémon Black if the player reaches White Forest within a certain amount of days after the save is first created. 92 Pokémon are potentially available in White Forest without trading or connecting with Pokémon Black: 29 from Generation I, 16 from Generation II, 35 from Generation III, and 12 from Generation IV, with 8 trade Evolutions for some of these Pokémon ({{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}}) for a total of 100 Pokémon available in White Forest.

In Black and White, the [[Relocator]] may be used to transfer certain event Pokémon from the Generation IV games for the purpose of catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Zorua becomes available if the player transfers {{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}}, and Zoroark becomes available if the player transfers the {{Shiny}} [[Legendary beasts]] ({{DL|List of event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou, Entei, and Suicune}}).

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{B2W2}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the second version of the Unova Pokédex (which was expanded to a total of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|301 Pokémon]]).

{{p|Kyurem|White Kyurem, Black Kyurem}}, the Therian Forms of the [[forces of nature]] (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus), and Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} were introduced in Black 2 and White 2, and are incompatible with Black and White. Additionally, all of these forms except for Keldeo's cannot be traded at all; due to this and the way that the [[DNA Splicers]] work, it is impossible to own both White Kyurem and Black Kyurem at the same time, and it is also impossible to own more than one Black Kyurem or more than one White Kyurem at once.

In Black 2 and White 2, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught in the [[Underground Ruins]]. However, Regice only appears in Black 2 if the player receives the Iceberg [[Key System|Key]] from White 2 via [[Unova Link]], while Registeel only appears in White 2 if the player receives the Iron Key from Black 2 via Unova Link. {{p|Regigigas}} can then be caught in [[Twist Mountain]] only if the player has Regirock, Regice and Registeel, so Regigigas also requires trading or using Unova Link to obtain without using Poké Transfer.

{{p|Stunky}} and {{p|Glameow}} are available via a special [[Funfest Mission]] that can only be hosted in Black 2 or White 2, respectively. However, the opposite version can still obtain the other Pokémon by joining the Funfest Mission.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever first partner Pokémon was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

===Generation VI===
In [[Generation VI]], there are 721 Pokémon.

In the core series, 706 Pokémon are available in-game and 15 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}). Prior to the release of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{p|Deoxys}} was also event-exclusive.

Pokémon from Generation V can be [[transfer]]red one-way to the {{g|Bank}} via the [[Poké Transporter]] (including any Pokémon previously transferred from Generations III and IV). Once in Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can be withdrawn to the Generation VI games. However, Pokémon that have been in a Generation VII game and or that were sent from the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games cannot be withdrawn to Generation VI.

All non-event Pokémon from Generations I–VI may be found in Generation VI without requiring use of Pokémon Bank. However, in the Generation VI games, {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} may only be found in their Spring Form. Other forms can only be obtained by transferring them from the Generation V games.

====Pokémon X and Y====
{{g|X and Y}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the three [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] (which have a total of 457 Pokémon; most are from previous generations, though all Generation VI Pokémon are found in the Kalos Pokédexes).

In Pokémon X and Y, several Pokémon are available from the [[Friend Safari]], which contains various areas that are unlocked based on the friends registered on the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]]. However, all Pokémon found in the Friend Safari are also available elsewhere in X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

====Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire====
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} together have all the non-event Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number in Generation VI|Generation VI Hoenn Pokédex]] (which has 211 Pokémon; all of them are from previous generations) and several other Pokémon as well.

Some [[Mega Evolution]]s, [[Primal Reversion]], the [[Cosplay Pikachu]], and {{p|Hoopa}} {{form|Hoopa|Unbound}} were introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and are incompatible with Pokémon X and Y. Only one Cosplay Pikachu is available per game; it is unable to evolve, and it cannot be traded or transferred to any other games.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, several Pokémon can be found in the [[Mirage spot]]s, which may appear and disappear and are accessible by [[soaring in the sky]]. Some Mirage spots contain a [[Legendary Pokémon]] from a previous generation, and appear if the player meets a certain condition (such as having certain Pokémon in their [[party]], or having any [[level]] 100 Pokémon in their party). There are also 32 daily Mirage spots that contain multiple non-Legendary Pokémon. Only one daily Mirage spot appears on each day, unless the player receives additional Mirage spots via [[StreetPass]].

====Friend Safari and Mirage spots====
In the Generation VI games, the Pokémon below (and their evolutionary lines, via Evolution or breeding) can only be found in the [[Friend Safari]]{{sup/6|XY}} and in the random daily Mirage spots{{sup/6|ORAS}}. They may or may not be available at a certain point in time, until the player waits for the correct day, receives the correct Mirage spot via StreetPass, or unlocks the correct area in the Friend Safari.

Available in both the Friend Safari and the daily Mirage spots:

* {{p|Venomoth}}
* {{p|Chansey}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Happiny}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Tangela}}
* {{p|Electabuzz}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Elekid}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Magmar}} (Friend Safari), {{p|Magby}} (Mirage spots)
* {{p|Sunkern}}
* {{p|Forretress}}
* {{p|Munna}}
* {{p|Zebstrika}}
* {{p|Excadrill}}
* {{p|Petilil}}
* {{p|Maractus}}
* {{p|Minccino}}
* {{p|Klink}} (Mirage spots), {{p|Klang}} (Friend Safari)
* {{p|Vullaby}}
* {{p|Larvesta}}

Available in the daily Mirage spots but not in the Friend Safari:

* {{p|Persian}}
* {{p|Porygon}}
* {{p|Unown}}
* {{p|Stantler}}
* {{p|Kricketune}}
* {{p|Cherrim}}
* {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}
* {{p|Darmanitan}}
* {{p|Cofagrigus}}
* {{p|Tynamo}}

===Generation VII===
In [[Generation VII]], there are 809 Pokémon. Prior to {{LGPE}}, there were 807 Pokémon. Prior to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, there were 802 Pokémon. There are also 18 [[Alolan form]]s available in all games of this generation.

====Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon====
In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, 786 Pokémon are available in-game and 16 Pokémon are event-exclusive ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Hoopa}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, and {{p|Marshadow}}).

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, some new Pokémon species and forms were introduced which are incompatible with Sun and Moon. 790 Pokémon are available in-game (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the additions of {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, and {{p|Blacephalon}}) and 17 Pokémon are event-exclusive (the same as in Sun and Moon, with the addition of {{p|Zeraora}}). The {{form|Necrozma|Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms}} of {{p|Necrozma}}, as well as the event-only {{DL|Pikachu in a cap|Partner Cap Pikachu}} and {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} were introduced in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as well.

{{p|Celebi}} used to be event-exclusive as well in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon prior to the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon are compatible with the {{g|Bank}}. This allows the one-way transfer of Pokémon from earlier generations into these games (since the [[Generation VI]] games are also compatible with the Pokémon Bank, while the [[Generation V]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] version of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games can use the [[Poké Transporter]]).

Sun and Moon together, as well as Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon together, have all the non-event Pokémon from the Alola Pokédex (which has [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|302 Pokémon]] in the first pair of games and was expanded to [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|403 Pokémon]] in the second pair of games). Some Pokémon outside the Alola Pokédex are also available in-game, but several other Pokémon from previous generations cannot be found in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, except by being transferred from earlier generations.

The Spring Form of {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} can be transferred from Generation VI games while the other forms of both Pokémon can be transferred from Generation V games.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
{{main|Pokémon availability (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)}}
{{LGPE}} are both compatible with 153 Pokémon species, being the first set of [[core series]] games to fully exclude Pokémon species from preceding games. There are three [[Mythical Pokémon]] ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meltan}}, and {{p|Melmetal}}) which are not found in-game but are available by other means. In addition, these games are compatible with the 18 [[Alolan form]]s and 15 Kanto [[Mega Evolution]]s available in Generation VII.

===Generation VIII===
In [[Generation VIII]], there are 905 Pokémon. When {{g|Sword and Shield}} were initially released, there were 890 Pokémon; 3 more debuted in [[The Isle of Armor]] (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}), 5 more debuted in [[The Crown Tundra]], and the remaining 7 debuted in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

No games in this generation feature every Pokémon. {{g|HOME}}, an application for storing and transferring Pokémon, is compatible with all 905 Pokémon; however, the games themselves are incompatible with certain Pokémon. These incompatible Pokémon cannot be obtained in the games in any way, including via transfer.

Pokémon in {{g|Bank}}, including those [[transfer]]red from previous generations, can be transferred to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon from {{LGPE}} can also be deposited into Pokémon HOME, and since November 10, 2020, it has been possible for Pokémon from {{g|GO}} to be transferred into Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]]. Additionally, some Pokémon have been directly [[List of game-based Pokémon distributions in Generation VIII|distributed]] in Pokémon HOME, either as events or rewards for certain actions; most notably, the {{form|Magearna|Original Color}} {{p|Magearna}} is obtainable in HOME as a reward for completion of the [[National Pokédex]], which is the only way to obtain it, though it can only be obtained with events due to the fact that some of the Pokémon in the National Pokédex are event-exclusive.

Once in HOME, if a Pokémon is compatible with a Generation VIII game, it can be moved to that game. Additionally, Pokémon can be moved from Generation VIII games into HOME, allowing them to be exchanged between all of the generation's games. However, if a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (besides {{p|Meltan}} or {{p|Melmetal}}) is transferred to HOME from Pokémon GO, then it cannot be deposited into a game unless the player has already obtained one of its species in that game. {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} were not compatible with Pokémon HOME until the Version 2.0.0 update, released on May 18, 2022.

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Duraludon}} with the [[Gigantamax]] Factor cannot be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon HOME]] to games other than {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Since these Pokémon are unable to [[evolution|evolve]] in Pokémon Sword and Shield, this is to prevent them from evolving in other games.

====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
{{g|Sword and Shield}} are compatible with 664 Pokémon. Of these, 656 are available in-game and 8 are event-exclusive ({{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, and {{p|Zarude}}). Prior to the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], {{p|Keldeo}} was also event-exclusive; prior to {{g|HOME}} becoming compatible with {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Jirachi}} were also event-exclusive.

* At first, only 401 Pokémon were obtainable, consisting of the 400 Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] and {{p|Mew}} from the [[Poké Ball Plus]]. Sword and Shield together have all 400 Pokémon in the Galar Pokédex.
* In version 1.1.0 of the games, [[Galarian form|Galarian]] {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]], increasing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 402.
* Ahead of the release of {{g|HOME}}, 6 additional Pokémon (the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines) were made available in event Max Raid Battles, raising the total to 408.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, 34 additional Pokémon were made available via transfer from previous generations (including the event-exclusive {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 436.
* In version 1.2.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], 103 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Zarude}}) not present in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and {{p|Magearna}} was made available via Pokémon HOME (albeit as an event-exclusive Pokémon), bringing the total number of obtainable Pokémon to 540. Additionally, 15 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means. With The Isle of Armor, Sword and Shield together have all 211 Pokémon from the Isle of Armor Pokédex except for the event-exclusive Zarude, and also have {{p|Rowlet}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Popplio}}, and their evolutionary lines.
* In version 1.3.0 of the games, with the release of [[The Crown Tundra]], 124 additional Pokémon (including the event-exclusive {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, and {{p|Volcanion}}) present in neither the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]] nor the [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]] became obtainable, bringing the total to 664. Of these newly available Pokémon, 71 became available as part of a new [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]. Additionally, 13 Pokémon that were previously exclusive to transfer from previous generations were made available through other means (including {{p|Keldeo}}, thus making it no longer event-exclusive). With The Crown Tundra, Sword and Shield together have all 210 Pokémon in the Crown Tundra Pokédex, as well as 59 others.

In total, Pokémon Sword and Shield together, including the {{g|Sword and Shield Expansion Pass}}, have 651 Pokémon, consisting of all of the Pokémon in the Galar, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes, besides the event-exclusive Zarude, and 68 others not in any of the three Pokédexes. The games are also compatible with 13 additional Pokémon (all of which are [[Mythical Pokémon]]) that are only obtainable via events or transferring them from other games: {{p|Mew}} (which is also available via the Poké Ball Plus), {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Diancie}}, {{p|Volcanion}}, {{p|Magearna}}, {{p|Marshadow}}, {{p|Zeraora}}, {{p|Meltan}}, {{p|Melmetal}}, and {{p|Zarude}} (which is the only one of the 13 not obtainable via transfer from a previous generation). None of these are in any of the three Pokédexes in the games except Zarude, which is in the Isle of Armor Pokédex.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are also compatible with [[Galarian form|Galarian]] and [[Alolan form]]s. They feature all 19 Galarian forms, but due to some Pokémon with Alolan forms not being featured in the games, only 11 out of the 18 Alolan forms are present. All Alolan forms (that exist in the games) and original forms of Pokémon with Galarian forms are obtainable without requiring transfer from previous generations, though most require the Expansion Pass to obtain in this way.

* At first, 13 Galarian forms and no Alolan forms were available. Additionally, the original forms of {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}} are obtainable via [[in-game trade]]s.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} was added and made available to catch at [[Wedgehurst Station]] in the version 1.1.0 update. However, it was initially unable to evolve.
* Upon the release of {{g|HOME}}, the Alolan forms of {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Persian}} became available via [[transfer]] from previous games. Additionally, the original forms of all Pokémon with Galarian forms became available via transfer as well, with the exception of Slowpoke, which was unable to be transferred.
* With the release of [[The Isle of Armor]], due to the additions of {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Exeggutor}}, and {{p|Marowak}}, the Alolan forms of each have become available via transfer. Additionally, Slowpoke's original form was made available to transfer, as well as the rest of the Slowpoke line, and Galarian Slowpoke was made available to catch outside of Wedgehurst Station. Galarian {{p|Slowbro}} was also added, with Galarian Slowpoke now being able to evolve into it.
** The Isle of Armor also introduces an NPC named Regina, who appears in random locations on the [[Isle of Armor]] and will trade Alolan forms to the player in exchange for their original forms, or will trade the original forms of Pokémon in exchange for their Galarian forms. After she has been traded with, she will relocate to another position on the island and be available for another trade; it is possible for her to repeat the same trade an indefinite number of times.
