I work on getting an understanding of in-game mechanics and event programming using Action Replay, ROMs etc.

Im not a common contributor and I do work mainly on our neighbor site Zelda Wiki.

KingROTOM: /* Transferring? */

This item is referenced in [[List of items by index number (Generation IV)]], but except for in [[April Fool's Day 2010]], I can't find any other reference to it. Can we confirm it as an actual item, or take it out of that page? [[User:CorporalStone|CorporalStone]] 16:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:It '''is''' a real item... nobody knows the use of it though and it may just be an un-used item with no use at all. It's programmed into the games, so that's why it is on that page. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 16:53, 3 May 2010 (UTC))

:::Looking through a text dump, it appears to function similarly to the Manaphy egg in Ranger.. it transfers some sort of data to a currently unreleased game. There's data for "View Lock Capsule Card", "The Lock Capsule was delivered safely" (in the context of a notice, it's grouped in with all the other notice stuff..) and the in-game bag text is "A sturdy Capsule that can only be opened with a special key.".

I got myself a lock capsule via pokesav, and could send someone one for study if their interested (i attached it to a shiny "movie 13 entei" i created, because Canada won't get that event, and probably wont get the lock capsule event, unless it's a wi-fi event. Canada never gets these events). I'll simply create a magikarp, attach a lock capsule to it, and send it via sendpkm. You can release the magikarp after wards if u don't want it. Contact me @ phantokachao@hotmail.com if your interested.--[[User:Kongu Chaos|Kongu Chaos]] 19:37, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
:But if you hack the Lock Capsule (which apparently won't have any use), can you unlock the screen that says "The Lock Capsule is held in the strictest safe-keeping" and allows you to send it out?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 21:59, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
::There is no 'Use' option on the Lock Capsule, so not by forcing it into the player's bag and trying to use it there. The interface itself, presuming that one exists probably has not even been found yet but the dialogue string "The Lock Capsule is held in the strictest safe-keeping" exists within the game code. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 13:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

==Bad grammar==

"The '''Lock Capsule''' (Japanese: '''ロックカプセル''' ''Lock Capsule'') is a special [[key item]] present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} whose use is currently unknown."

Can somebody with sysop privileges rewrite this line to something like "The '''Lock Capsule''' (Japanese: '''ロックカプセル''' ''Lock Capsule'') is a special [[key item]] present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Its use is currently unknown." please.

== This is in Black and White ==

According to Serebii, this is used to get [[TM95]] in Black and White.
[http://www.serebii.net/itemdex/lockcapsule.shtml]
Serebii also records no way to get to it on it's items page, so I guess Nintendo plan to release it for HGSS and then you send it over to BW.
Hmmm after all that fuss it just turned out it to be a way of getting an event TM... [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 10:43, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

== Transferring? ==
How exactly does that work? From what I've heard, you can't transfer Pokémon with held items to Black & White. Besides, the Lock Capsule is a key item, isn't it? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:44, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
:It would perhaps be through a special interface we haven't found yet, or DS Download Play, where the "The Lock Capsule was delivered safely!" message is used? --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 07:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
== Proof of opening the Capsule ==
It was stupid to directly post to page as I should have put it her first, but there is absolutely no proof that the Lock Capsule is openable. There are pieces of evidence to suggest you can, but there has been no legimate way of opening it, even if you tried to activate the supposed event via Action Replay. On a far lesser extent, there has been no proof of it being transferable. If Im wrong correct me, but the problem is most events in Black and White are no longer triggered only via item. Like the Liberty Ticket event, either you need the item legitmately or you need to use hacking to actiate the event. Still there is no video that shows it being opened, no guide that shows how to do it nor is there an existing (or known) code to open the Capsule. Most of the current information on our page and other sites is speculation. Correct me if I'm wrong

Poké Ball

2012-03-09T21:57:49Z

KingROTOM: /* Introduced in Generation V */

{{Featured}}
[[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[Version|main series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a Trainer in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as Ash's Pikachu.

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as "magical creatures" (Japanese: '''魔獣''' ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored easily. This also shows that in these times they were believed to be supernatural creatures, not natural ones.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]

Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls.

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Dark Device]] and the [[Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}|thumb]]
When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a bright light as it returns from its energy form, and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball that the Pokémon is contained in in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{Adv|Red}}'s battle against [[Giovanni]], where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since.

Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, [[Audrey]] could not release her {{p|Masquerain}} from the Poké Ball, claiming that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.
{{-}}

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Except for the [[Master Ball]], all Poké Balls have a chance of breaking and not capturing the Pokémon in question, however, in several cases, it is possible for the Poké Ball to miss the wild Pokémon completely.

* In [[Generation I]] games, there was always a possibility that the Poké Ball would miss a Pokémon, usually occurring when battling in the {{safari|Kanto}}, or while battling a wild {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or [[legendary Pokémon]]. Rather than the ball throwing animation playing, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!".
* In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[literal ghost|ghosts]] in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (literal ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.
* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[double battle]], unless one of the two wild Pokémon is defeated, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!". A player can however snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field; presumably the [[Snag Machine]] assists in aiming.
* Unlike preceding games, from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards, it isn't possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}}.
* Pokémon Black and White introduces wild double battles that are encountered alone instead of with a partner like in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. In addition to the prior requirements, a command cannot be issued to a Pokémon during the same turn a Poké Ball is thrown; however, if the second Pokémon is using a two part move like Dig or Dive; a Poké Ball can still be thrown and Dig or Dive will continue if the ball fails.

===Capture chances===

==Types of Poké Ball==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A double battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Ball, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is not present in Generation II. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Repeat Ball and Love Ball, Timer Ball and Fast Ball, Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered ''on'' water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|220px|right|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the anime, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; afterward; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.
[[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]
Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.

The [[Master Ball#In the anime|Master Ball]] itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}}. Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.

Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

*The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
*The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''.
*The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search of Pokémon to Basic Pokémon.
*The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck.
*Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
*Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|elemental types|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
*The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
*The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
*The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
*The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first.
*The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:SSBB Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown.

Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already [[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{an|Mewtwo}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily as a means of capture of Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. One of these devices is notably the only Poké Ball that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has ever been seen being drawn into during the entire series. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
*In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
*In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====Pokémon Adventures====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his nunchucks. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into shuriken to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his Butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.

===In the TCG===
*The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
*The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. Unlike others, no coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.

[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.jpg|right|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where Ash accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an [[Itemfinder]] or Dowsing Machine.

==Trivia==
* While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can ''legitimately'' be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the Paras and Venonat families, as they are available in all types of Poké Ball except for the Cherish Ball, having not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV or V.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* Many of the types of Poké Ball introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[happiness]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball which made its return in Generation III, the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the menu, rather than as two, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. This is due to the size limitation placed on the text by the [[Game Boy Color]]'s small screen. The Generation IV Park Ball does not have this issue, as [[Nintendo DS]] screens are wider and the font used is thinner.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.
** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.
* Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art, however, it is orange in its bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].
* While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.
** The Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.
** In the anime, Mewtwo's "Mewtwo Balls", seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, "Mewtwo Balls" automatically release the caught Pokémon.
** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.
* While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are hacked into the bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.
** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the coding of Generation V, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Premier Ball is the only variety of Poké Ball so far whose name approaches the character limit for item names.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Generation V introduced fewer types of Poké Balls than any other generation, only introducing one.
* The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.
* Both the Safari Ball and {{tt|Sport Ball|Park Ball in Generation II and the anime}} appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of five of the major Pokémon regions - [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] - are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova is based on the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.

==Main Regions==

===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kanto region|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game Kanto corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chubu region|Chūbu}}.

==Landscape==
While the above locations are meant to correspond to the different regions of Japan, great liberties were taken with the design of their landscape. Some of the designers have admitted to drawing inspiration from real-world locations outside Japan, especially with locations shown in [[Pokémon movie]]s.

* [[Silph Co.]] has a branch in {{wp|Tiksi}}, {{wp|Russia}}.

This is clearly a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} football team.
:*Though in the Swedish dub of the movie, Ash replies to Brock that they come from {{wp|Norway}}. Most likely referring to the Scandinavian Vikings that lived in the 8-11th century.
:* In the Danish dub of the movie, Ash tells Brock that the vikings are mostly on trips in {{wp|Sweden}}, again refering to the Scandinavian Vikings.
* {{p|Ponyta}}'s Pokédex entries mentions that it can clear {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}} and jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} in one leap. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referred in the original Japanese version.

* In ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'', {{an|Misty}} described the town like being in 'Merry Old England,' in which it could possibly be based on Tudor Time {{wp|Stratford-Upon-Avon}}. It is also the same historic town where the story's inspirational author, {{wp|William Shakespeare}} was born.
* In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Jessie]] talks about {{wp|Antarctica}}, the place where their next assignment is located. It should be noted that this was dub-added.

* A {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} mentions the hula dance to a [[Kimono Girl]] while in the Ecruteak dance theater.
* The main series games have featured staff members of [[Game Freak]] that typically [[Diploma|reward]] the player for completing the [[National Pokédex]], or occasionally through alternative methods. [[Shigeki Morimoto|One in particular]] can actually be battled in-game.

==Other applications of real-world locations==
[[File:Mewtwo in the City.png|right|thumb|260px|Mewtwo overlooking a "far away city" at the end of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'']]
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{jo|Webster}}, the guard in the [[gate]] north of [[Goldenrod City]], will give the player a {{p|Spearow}} holding mail to deliver. The Spearow is nicknamed {{wp|Kenya}}, the name of a country in {{wp|Africa}}.
* In {{p|Raichu}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] [[Pokédex]] entry, {{wp|Indian Elephant}}s are mentioned. Incidentally, {{p|Gastly}}'s FireRed entry mentions the same thing.

Normally, a cloudy globe can be seen, but this time the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} and {{wp|Australia}} are prominent. This also happens in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'' and the introduction to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. This phenomenon may be common in the original series
* In all of the [[version|main series]] games, and some side series games, there is a [[Nintendo]] gaming console in the {{player}}'s bedroom. This is a reference to the real world gaming company that owns the franchise.
* The {{p|Arceus}} event that takes place in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} includes real life pictures in the game.
* [[Game Freak]]'s offices are present in the [[Celadon Condominiums]], a possible reference to their real-world office of {{wp|Carrot Tower}}.

* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} and the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} were seen on a movie poster.
* In the movie ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', Kidd's boss's office is in a city that resembles {{wp|New York City}}.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', a painting within the resort created by {{p|Beheeyem}} bears a striking resemblance to ''{{wp|Relativity (M. C. Escher)|Relativity}}'' by {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

Lock Capsule

2012-03-02T23:21:54Z

KingROTOM: Added notice

[[File:Bag Lock Capsule IV Sprite.png|frame|right|IV]]
[[File:Bag Lock Capsule Sprite.png|frame|right|V]]
The '''Lock Capsule''' (Japanese: '''ロックカプセル''' ''Lock Capsule'') is a special [[key item]] present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It has no use in these games and has not yet been made legitimately available. Regardless, it does have a use in {{game|Black and White|s}}. The Lock Capsule has two menu sprites, one for {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (top) and one for {{v2|Black and White|s}} (bottom).

In-game data reveals the following about the Lock Capsule: a menu option "VIEW LOCK CAPSULE CARD", event data "The Lock Capsule is held in the strictest safekeeping." and "The Lock Capsule was delivered safely!", and item text "A sturdy Capsule that can only be opened with a special key." It cannot be obtained in game; it is expected to be made obtainable via a future [[event]].

Its in-game data is similar to the {{p|Manaphy}} egg that can be transferred from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} to any of the five [[Generation IV]] main series games. The Lock Capsule itself is transferable to {{game|Black and White|s}}. In these games, it can be opened to reveal the somewhat exclusive {{tm|95|Snarl}}.

'''NOTICE:''' Despite many rumors and sites posting, there is no proof of the Lock Capsule being legitimately opened, must less even transferred. Some claims state its because there is the need of an event to activate the ability, while others state it may just be a hoax. As of now the Lock Capsule is not openable, despite the above statement. -March2,2012

'''Abyssal Ruins''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|海底遺跡|かいていいせき}} ''' ''Undersea Ruins'') are sunken temple ruins in eastern Unova, accessed through the use of {{m|Dive}} outside of battle. It is east of [[Undella Town]] in [[Undella Bay]]. Most [[Plate]]s are located here. There are four floors and no wild Pokémon or Trainers.

Each time the player enters the ruins, he or she is only allowed to take about 500 steps until a torrent of water sends the player back to the water's surface. The ruins are divided into four floors, each smaller than the other. Due to the step limit, it is impossible to get all items of the Ruins in one trip; rather, to reach the second floor, the player must reach the pillar in the middle of the ruins in fewer than 190 steps (thus ignoring all items). The Ruins are filled with 32 [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] which, have a total value of {{PDollar}}1,706,000 when sold to the [[item maniac]] in [[Undella Town]]. To reach the third floor, the player must use {{m|Flash}}. To reach the fourth floor, the player must use {{m|Strength}}.

==Mysterious letters==
{{Fan speculation|section}}
Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters. These letters can be transliterated into letters of the roman alphabet using the correct {{wp|cipher}}. When read the correct way (right to left, bottom to top) the sentences from each pillar can be gathered into a coherent message. The cipher changes slightly between floors: when one moves up a floor the symbols move "down" one in the roman alphabet; for example, if two separate symbols corresponded to the letters G and H on one floor, on the floor above they would correspond to F and G, and on the floor above that they would correspond to E and F, respectively. A small percentage of the symbols used do not appear to have a corresponding letter and are denoted by numerical placeholders in the translated message below, though it is possible that they are {{wp|logogram}}s or numbers. The positions of two of the unknown symbols—denoted by placeholders ③ and ④ below—swap positions between Pokémon Black and White.

===The message===
Arranged below are the transliterated sentences found on the purple pillars in the abyssal ruins, collected into paragraphs and divided by the floor they were found on (1F, 2F, 3F, etc.):

'''1F'''

:Listen to King's words.
:Primes lead to truth.
:King is brave.
:King never loses hope.
:King is kind.
:King has a dream.
:King is adventurous.
:King accepts all.
:King turns 2nd corner.
:King turns 3rd corner.
:King turns 5th corner.
:King turns 7th corner.
:Have the heart of King.
:Here we praise King.
:King's light shines.
:King moves his people.
:King acts with love.
:King fought hatred.
:No king gets lost.{{tt|*|appears on the middle pillar if the player takes more than 190 steps to reach it}}
:Go on, brave king.{{tt|*|appears on the middle pillar if the player takes less than 190 steps to reach it}}

'''2F'''

:Life is gratitude.
:Eating is receiving life.
:Good or evil isn't all.
:Do not be barbaric.
:One must not waste.
:All is precious.
:Wars create tears.
:Shine if agreed.

'''3F'''

:King talks to all beings.
:Saved all from waves.
:King is hope for all.
:Think act with love.
:Act strong if agreed.
'''4F'''

:King defeated ③ alone.
:④ joined King in a day.
:King called ⑤ beings.
:King is hope and future.
:The great King ⑥.

===Interpetation===
On 1F, the inscriptions talk about a brave king who fought hatred and pursued peace. In the middle of the lines, it states about the King turning on corners. these corners correspond with the intersections while entering the ruins. Every time you come to a choice in the path, either to go straight or turn, can be considered a corner. Following this pattern, turning on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th intersects, and continuing straight on the others, will lead the player very close to the center of F1, regardless of what entrance is taken.
This key of 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th corners works on '''ALL''' floors, (except obviously on the last floor) and will lead the player to the [[Relic Crown|Crown]].
The inscriptions on the 2nd and 3rd Floors tell the player to "shine light" and "act strong" if agreed, respective. Both at the end of these floors, the player must use [[Flash]] and [[Strength]] respectively.

==Trivia==
*The {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}} and {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}} are the only Plates that are not found here, located instead on {{rt|13|Unova}}. However, the man who gives these two plates to the player states that he found them in the Abyssal Ruins himself, meaning that all the plates originate from the Abyssal Ruins.

{{Fan speculation|section}}
Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters. These letters can be transliterated into letters of the roman alphabet using the correct {{wp|cipher}}. When read the correct way (right to left, bottom to top) the sentences from each pillar can be gathered into a coherent message. The cipher changes slightly between floors: when one moves up a floor the symbols move "down" one in the roman alphabet; for example, if two separate symbols corresponded to the letters G and H on one floor, on the floor above they would correspond to F and G, and on the floor above that they would correspond to E and F, respectively.

The positions of two of the unknown symbols—denoted by placeholders ③ and ④ below—swap positions between Pokémon Black and White.

===The message===
Arranged below are the transliterated sentences found on the purple pillars in the abyssal ruins, collected into paragraphs and divided by the floor they were found on (1F, 2F, 3F, etc.):

'''1F'''

===Interpetation===
On 1F, the inscriptions talk about a brave king who fought hatred and pursued peace. In the middle of the lines, it states about the King turning on corners. these corners correspond with the intersections while entering the ruins. Every time you come to a choice in the path, either to go straight or turn, can be considered a corner. Following this pattern, turning on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th intersects, and continuing sraight on the others, will lead the player very close to the center of F1, regardless of what entrance is taken.

==Trivia==
*The {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate}} and {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}} are the only Plates that are not found here, located instead on {{rt|13|Unova}}.

'''Striaton City''' (Japanese: '''サンヨウシティ''' ''Sanyou City'') is a city in southeastern [[Unova]]. The [[Dreamyard]] is to the east, {{rt|2|Unova}} is to the south and {{rt|3|Unova}} is to the northwest.

Striaton City is home to [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], the city's gym leaders as well as the home of [[Fennel]]. The eastern half of Striaton City houses buildings with unique architectural designs. The western part of the city houses a beautifully designed garden. The [[Dreamyard]] lies to the east of the city.

==Places of interest==
===Trainers' School===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
A Pokémon academy is a school where students and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers who study extensively at these locations are {{tc|Lass}}es, {{tc|School Kid}}s, and {{tc|Scientist}}s. The blackboard at the back of the school details the five non-volatile [[status ailment]]s. [[Cheren]] visits here to improve his knowledge while waiting for the Gym to open.

===Fennel and Amanita's house===
[[Fennel]] and [[Amanita]] live together in the house in the northern entrance of the easternmost building in Striaton City. They share a room on the top floor, which cannot be accessed until defeating the [[Striaton Gym]]. Fennel gives the player {{HM|01|Cut}} as a reward for defeating the Gym Leader. Amanita introduces herself as the creator of the [[Unova]] [[Pokémon Storage System]], then explains the {{DL|Pokémon Storage System|Battle Box}}. After speaking with her, the "Someone's PC" becomes "Amanita's PC".

After saving the {{TP|Fennel|Munna}} from the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, Fennel gives the player the [[C-Gear]] and [[Amanita]] will give you the [[Pal Pad]]. Amanita will then explain the purpose of the Pal Pad in addition to the Battle Box.

===Striaton Gym===
{{main|Striaton Gym}}
The '''Striaton Gym''' is the official [[Gym]] of Striaton City. It is based on {{type2|Fire}}, {{type2|Water}}, and {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

Striaton City is host to the first [[Gym]] the {{player}} can challenge. Uniquely, this Gym has three brothers for Gym Leaders, and the Gym Leader faced by the player is determined by the starter the player chooses. If the player chooses {{p|Snivy}}, the player will face Chili and his {{p|Pansear}}. If the player chooses {{p|Tepig}}, the player will face Cress and his {{p|Panpour}}. If the player chooses {{p|Oshawott}}, the player will face Cilan and his {{p|Pansage}}.

The Gym is styled after a café; each of the Leaders serve as waiters. The Gym made its anime appearance in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]''.

==In the anime==
[[File:Striaton City anime.png|250px|right|thumb|Striaton City in the anime]]
Striaton City made its appearance in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', it is a city with huge skyscrapers and loads of shops and also a [[Pokémon Center]]. There is also a market and it is where the [[Striaton Gym]] is located. There are alleyways and a sewer system underground. {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} first met {{an|Cilan}} there and he invited them to his [[Gym]].

Ash defeats [[Chili]] and Cilan, but loses to [[Cress]]; and Ash wins his first badge. In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', {{p|Musharna}} cause [[Dream Mist]] to fall over Striaton City, but it is stopped by Ash, Iris, Cilan and [[Fennel]]. In the end Cilan decides to travel with Ash and Iris.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} reach Striaton City in ''[[ABW09|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'' in their search for {{adv|Black}}. After meeting up with him, they get wrapped up into his Gym battle and join him in battling the Gym leaders.

==Trivia==
* Striaton's Japanese motto is {{tt|サンヨウとは 3つ並ぶ星のこと |Sanyou means three aligned stars}}.
*The fact the description references a snowy climate, and the fact the name of the city is a corruption of Striation, scratches left it rocks from glacial friction. It is highly likely that the the developers are referencing Long Island, due to the island being formed by glacial deposits during the Ice Age. Also the position of Long Island to Manhattan is near identical to that of the east pennisula and central region of Unova, which was based off Manhattan.

==In the anime==
[[File:Striaton City anime.png|250px|right|thumb|Striaton City in the anime]]
Striaton City made its appearance in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', it is a city with huge skyscrapers and loads of shops and also a [[Pokémon Center]]. There is also a market and it is where the [[Striaton Gym]] is located. There are alleyways and a sewer system underground. {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} first met {{an|Cilan}} there and he invited them to his [[Gym]].

Ash defeats [[Chili]] and Cilan, but loses to [[Cress]]; and Ash wins his first badge. In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', {{p|Musharna}} cause [[Dream Mist]] to fall over Striaton City, but it is stopped by Ash, Iris, Cilan and [[Fennel]]. In the end Cilan decides to travel with Ash and Iris.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} reach Striaton City in ''[[ABW09|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'' in their search for {{adv|Black}}. After meeting up with him, they get wrapped up into his Gym battle and join him in battling the Gym leaders.

==Trivia==
* Striaton's Japanese motto is {{tt|サンヨウとは 3つ並ぶ星のこと |Sanyou means three aligned stars}}.
*The fact the description references a snowy climate, and the fact the name of the city is a corruption of Striation, scratches left it rocks from glacial friction. It is highly likely that the the developers are referencing Long Island, as the Island is found east of Manhattan, like Striaton's location to the central island based off Manhattan and also Long Island was formed by glacial deposits during the Ice Age.

Pokémon Global Link

[[File:Pokémon Global Link logo.png|thumb|right|220px|The Pokémon Global Link logo]]
The '''Pokémon Global Link''' is a multiplayer feature in {{game|Black and White|s}} which is run using the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It is analogous to the [[GTS]] in Generation IV.

The Global Link is activated with an item called the [[Dream Mist]]. This is obtained early in the game from a {{p|Munna}}. If the Dream Mist is given to [[Fennel]] she will set up the Global Link for the player.

The Global Link allows players to enter the [[Pokémon Dream World]] where they can catch Pokémon otherwise not obtainable in [[Unova]].

==Website==

{{Bulbanews|International Pokémon Global Link launch delayed}}
{{Bulbanews|Earthquake delays international Global Link launch}}
Like with the GTS, the Global Link has an accompanying website. In the early days of the Black and White release, the website was [[n:Global Link disconnected|temporarily closed because of traffic concerns]]. The site was originally set to be back up September 29, 2010, ten days after closing down, but this was moved to October 4. Due to maintenance the Pokémon Dream World did not open to the public until October 13.

To fix the site for the international release of Black and White, planned to be released March 30, 2011, the previously Japanese-only Global Link was disabled of certain features on certain dates. From March 18 to 22, no Pokémon could be obtained from [[Pokémon Dream World]]. From March 22 to March 30, Global Link, as well as Game Sync, was made unavailable. This however was extended due to the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. Despite delays, {{DL|Pokémon.com online games|Play to Befriend a Pokémon!}}, a game that allows players to obtain one of the [[Eeveelutions]] with their respective Hidden Abilities, was made available on March 28. On the other hand, Global Link itself again became available on April 12, 2011, which was also the premiere of the international versions of the Global Link.

===Routine maintenance===
The Global Link site undergoes routine maintenance every week. During maintenance all features of the website, as well as the in-game Game Sync, cannot be accessed; maintenance may interrupt those currently using Dream World. Despite this weekly maintenance, the site may undergo additional maintenance when the need rises. Prior to the site closing down to accommodate international versions of Black and White, maintenance was done every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. JST. Currently, the schedule for maintenance is as follows, according to the [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/maintenance/ web][http://ja.pokemon-gl.com/maintenance/ site]:


* Japan and Korea: Tuesdays 4 p.m. to Wednesdays 10 a.m. JST/KST
* US: Tuesdays 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EDT
* UK: Tuesdays 7:00 a.m. to Wednesdays 1:00 a.m. UTC
* Australia: Tuesdays 3:00 p.m. to Wednesdays 9:00 a.m. AWST

Under this message on the website it says: "Please note that the amount of time needed may change."

===Pokémon Dream World===
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') allows players to befriend a Pokémon, as well as find items, using a Pokémon they sent using Game Sync by playing various mini-games, as well as exploring the Island of Dreams.

===Global Battle Union===
The '''Global Battle Union''' or '''GBU''' (Japanese: '''グローバルバトルユニオン''' ''Global Battle Union'' or '''ＧＢＵ''') records statistics obtained over the Random Wi-Fi Battle feature found in Black and White.

===Profile===
The profile allows players to see various pieces of information, such as the most-recent six Pokémon they've befriended on Dream World, the Pokémon they sent via Game Sync, their neighbors on Dream World, as well as the number of points they have. They may also edit their avatars and input a code corresponding to their favorite [[Vs. Recorder|Battle Video]].

Accordingly, per account, a player may only have ten Dream Pals on their Dream Pal Roster. This total counts toward registered neighbors as well as pending requests the player has sent. The received requests made by other players do not count toward this number. While the total is ten, a player may not accept a request made while inside the Dream World, unless either a Dream Pal or a Dream Pal request is deleted from the roster on the Global Link profile, to a number less than ten. The Dream World site refers to this as "organizing," as requests can only be accepted while playing in the Dream World.

===Customize===
This option allows players to customize certain aspects of the Black or White games. These include the [[Pokédex]] and [[C-Gear]] themes, as well as music in the [[Pokémon Musical]].

===E-Z Mail===
The E-Z Mail option lets a user send and receive messages called '''E-Z Mail''' with Game and Dream Pals over Pokémon Global Link. The letters themselves are preconstructed, with users only able to fill in the blanks.

===Promotions===
{{main|List of Pokémon Global Link promotions}}
Global Link occasionally has downloads known as '''promotions''' (Japanese: '''キャンペーン''' ''campaigns'') available for players. These include things players may use in the customization part of the site, as well as Pokémon players may obtain via Dream World and new catalogues with new Décor players may place in their homes in Dream World. Some of these have passwords players must input before being able to obtain the downloads.

==Trivia==
* In Generations I and III on {{rt|10|Kanto}}, a [[Picnicker]] mentions that she wishes that there were pink Pokémon with floral patterns, a description which Munna fits.

===Origin===
Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called ''[[wp:Koro (incense burner)|koro]]''. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of ''koro'' have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent ''koro'' are popularly shaped like a pig and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like {{p|Drowzee}}, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the [[wp:Baku (spirit)|Baku]], tapir-like creatures that eat dreams.

====Name origin====
It is possible that Munna is a combination of the words moon and Luna. Both words are mean "moon" which Luna is Latin. It may also be a play on Luna in itself.

Pendra is a centipede-like Pokémon, with bright magenta coloration interspersed with purple rings spaced evenly along its segmented upper body. Its horns, extending from its head in a similar way to antennae, are long and slightly twisted. Purple banding decorates its horns, as well as its similarly-shaped dual tails. It has four pairs of purple-tipped forelegs, capable of injecting poison. Its legs further down its body are longer, with curved black patterns and black tipping on the extremities of the limb.

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

===Special abilities===
The claws on its neck can inject powerful poison that could paralyze or kill any Pokémon who got contacted with it.

===Behavior===
Pendra are very aggressive, and will chase down its enemies with its horns. It gives no mercy to its opponent until it strikes the final blow.

==Trivia==
*Measuring up to 2.5 meters long, Pendra is the largest of all the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon ever debuted.
*Pendra may be considered a parallel to [[Beedrill]]. Both are three stage evolutionary families and both have a Bug/Poison type as thier final form. Also both are based on more commonly resented animals.
===Origin===
Pendra's species shows that it was inspired by the {{wp|centipede}}, most likely the {{wp|Scolopendra heros arizonensis}}. However, other than the barbs on its head and backside, Pendra has more in common with {{wp|millipedes}}, most likely a red {{wp|Archispirostreptus gigas}}, a species of millipede often kept as a pet.

====Name origin====
Pendra's name derives from ''Scolopendra'', a genus of centipedes.

==Trivia==
*Measuring up to 2.5 meters long, Pendra is the largest of all the {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon ever debuted.
*Pendra may be considered a parrel to [[Beedrill]]. Both are three stage evolutionary families and both have a Bug/Poison type as thier final form. Also both are based on more commonly resented animals.
===Origin===
Pendra's species shows that it was inspired by the {{wp|centipede}}, most likely the {{wp|Scolopendra heros arizonensis}}. However, other than the barbs on its head and backside, Pendra has more in common with {{wp|millipedes}}, most likely a red {{wp|Archispirostreptus gigas}}, a species of millipede often kept as a pet.

====Name origin====
Pendra's name derives from ''Scolopendra'', a genus of centipedes.

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペンドラー''' ''Pendra'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Hoiiga}} starting at level 30. It is the final form of {{p|Fushide}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pendra is a centipede-like Pokémon, with bright magenta coloration interspersed with purple rings spaced evenly along its segmented upper body. Its horns, extending from its head in a similar way to antennae, are long and slightly twisted. Purple banding decorates its horns, as well as its similarly-shaped dual tails. It has four pairs of purple-tipped forelegs, capable of injecting poison. Its legs further down its body are longer, with curved black patterns and black tipping on the extremities of the limb.

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

===Special abilities===
The claws on its neck can inject powerful poison that could paralyze or kill any Pokémon who got contacted with it.

===Behavior===
Pendra are very aggressive, and will chase down its enemies with its horns. It gives no mercy to its opponent until it strikes the final blow.

'''Pokémon Fan Event Center''' is a website made by fans who had managed to exploit the Global Trade Station system used in the [[Generation IV]] games to be capable of sending out events. They were able to achieve this feat by using the specifics of how a [[Nintendo DS]] connects to the Internet, they have become able to redirect a signal from the games to their own servers, allowing players to participate in non-Nintendo-sponsored events.

==Events==

===How To Access Events===
{{cleanup|section}}
The first step to access these fan-made events is to modify the usual Wi-Fi configuration of the Nintendo DS so that GTS will connect to our server instead of Nintendo's. In the DS's wifi settings, assuming it has already gotten a connection to a local wireless network set up, tap the settings for the connection. Scroll down until it says "Auto-obtain DNS" and change the option to "No" it has not already been selected. Then manually enter "208.111.34.248" as in the "Primary DNS" server. Save the settings, and go back to the title screen.
After complete the above, go to the Global Trade Station/Global Terminal in [[Jubilife City]] ({{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}) or [[Goldenrod City]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), and connect as usual. After entering and "checking GTS status", the game should immediately send the Pokémon to the game and then kick you back to the title screen via a "connection error".
When the players receives this error turn off the DS then on and start the game. The new Pokémon should be present, either in your team or in [[Bebe]]/[[Bill]]'s PC.
There has yet to be any reports of games which have become glitched due to this, however, Bulbapedia advises its readers to maintain caution if they are to attempt this.

===Future Events===
*There is currently no information if there will be any future events distributed by Pokémon Fan Event Center.
*It is very possble that they have been shut down by nintendo for menancing with the Global Trade Station's origional purpose(to trade pokemon, not to directly recieve them) and also for distrubuting pokemon illegally despite not being actual event pokemon. Evidence of this lies in that they have not put up any info on events since April, they have not answered any faqs since June and they haven't made the slightest change in thier website since thier last event.

===Current Events===
*There are currently no events at this time. Since the most recent event had ended on April 15, the page, currently, merely says "New event to be announced soon!" with no other information.

===Past Events===
*The most recent event was a {{p|Jigglypuff}} named Puffy that had been on distribution from April 1st to April 15th 2010.
*The beta test event, in March 2010, featured a {{p|Porygon-Z}} named MISSINGNO. after the famous [[Missingno.|glitch]] in the [[Generation I|first generation]] of Pokémon games.

There has yet to be any reports of games which have become glitched due to this, however, Bulbapedia advises its readers to maintain caution if they are to attempt this.

===Future Events===
*There is currently no information if there will be any future events distributed by Pokémon Fan Event Center.
*It is very possble that they have been shut down by nintendo for menancing with the Global Trade Station's origional purpose and also for distrubuting pokemon illegally despite not being actual event pokemon. Evidence of this lies in that they have not put up any info on events since April, they have not answered any faqs since June and they haven't made the slightest change in thier since thier last event.

===Current Events===
*There are currently no events at this time. Since the most recent event had ended on April 15, the page, currently, merely says "New event to be announced soon!" with no other information.

===Past Events===
*The most recent event was a {{p|Jigglypuff}} named Puffy that had been on distribution from April 1st to April 15th 2010.
*The beta test event, in March 2010, featured a {{p|Porygon-Z}} named MISSINGNO. after the famous [[Missingno.|glitch]] in the [[Generation I|first generation]] of Pokémon games.

* Dasutodasu is the only pure Poison-type ever to be capable of learning Psychic.

====Origin====
Dasutodasu is based on a garbage bag that is bursting with garbage. It may also have been inspired by garbage rats considering the ear-like appendages atop its head.

====Name origin====
Dasutodasu may be a transliteration of ダスト ''dasuto'' meaning dust and 出す ''dasu'' meaning to exert or produce.
