A '''Pokémon Professor''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|博士|はかせ}}''' ''Pokémon Expert'') is considered an expert on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in their respective [[region]]. Pokémon Professors are often researchers as well, and many times they are the ones responsible for distributing [[Pokédex]]es and giving {{pkmn|Trainer}}s their [[first partner Pokémon]].

Several known Pokémon Professors have had reports published in {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Pokémon Researchers Monthly}}. Pokémon Professor is also a {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} used by [[Professor Sycamore|Augustine Sycamore]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Professor Kukui|Kukui]] in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. Many professors are accompanied by [[Professors' aides|laboratory assistants]], these aides often provide help with tasks, or perform small chores and field work.

Taking into account that Pokémon are living beings and that the science that studies living beings is the Biology, it is implicit that the vast majority of Pokémon Professors would be considered as biologists (not all since in Sonia's case, her field of study is the history of Galar, so she would be a historian).

====Professor's assistants====

Human

Knight Brazil93: /* Culture */

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]].

The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==In the core series games==
Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt. Surge]] (in the Japanese anime and games), the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

However, another explanation besides bilingualism would be the trope of [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslationConvention translation convention], that is, when a work translates for its audience the native language spoken by the characters to an audience that does not speak their native language. In the original versions of the games (except Generations I to IV) this language is translated into Japanese, and in the English versions of the games, in English. If the original version (in the case of Pokémon franchise games, the Japanese version) already employs translation convention, sometimes a certain version is actually the accurate version, such as the English versions of [[Pokémon Black and White]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the French version of [[Pokémon X and Y]] or the Spanish version of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* '''{{p|Claydol}}'s creators''': A civilization dating 20,000 years ago, they modeled clay dolls after something that descended from the sky and it was given life by a myserious ray of light.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

Knight Brazil93: /* Culture */

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]].

The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==In the core series games==
Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt. Surge]] (in the Japanese anime and games), the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

However, another explanation besides bilingualism would be the trope of [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslationConvention translation convention], that is, when a work translates for its audience the native language spoken by the characters to an audience that does not speak their native language. In the original versions of the games (except Generations I to IV) this language is translated into Japanese, and in the English versions of the games, in English. If the original version (in the case of Pokémon franchise games, the Japanese version) already employs translation convention, sometimes a certain version is actually the accurate version, such as the English version of [[Pokémon Black and White]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the French version of [[Pokémon X and Y]] or the Spanish version of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Human organizations===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]
:''See also: {{cat|Organizations}}''
* [[International Police]]: A law enforcement organization.

* [[Pokémon League]]: Regulates [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and oversees the regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}s.
* [[Villainous team]]s: Always human outside of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the villainous teams would threaten the region, and serve as antagonists to be defeated. They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===
* {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}: Raises and mates Pokémon for genetic improvements such as [[move]]s, [[individual values]], and [[Nature]]s.

* [[Pokémon Professor]]: Researches certain aspects of Pokémon and the [[Pokémon world]], such as [[Evolution]] and habitat. They also hand out [[first partner Pokémon]] to aspiring Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters.

Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt. Surge]] (in the Japanese anime and games), the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

However, another explanation besides bilingualism would be the trope of [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslationConvention translation convention], that is, when a work translates for its audience the native language spoken by the characters to an audience that does not speak their native language. In the original versions of the games (except Generations I to IV) this language is translated into Japanese, and in the English versions of the games, in English. If the original version (in the case of Pokémon franchise games, the Japanese version) already employs translation convention, sometimes a certain version is actually the accurate version, such as the English version of [[Pokémon
Black and White]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the French version of [[Pokémon X and Y]] or the Spanish version of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Human organizations===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]

They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===

* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* '''{{p|Claydol}}'s creators''': A civilization dating 20,000 years ago, they modeled clay dolls after something that descended from the sky and it was given life by a myserious ray of light.
* '''[[Draconid people]]''': A tribe of {{type|Dragon}}-users who resided in [[Meteor Falls]] on [[Hoenn]] and worshipped their Dragon Lord, {{p|Rayquaza}}.

* '''[[Diamond Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Pearl Clan and resided in the [[Diamond Settlement]] on [[Hisui]], they worshipped "{{p|Dialga|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over time.
* '''[[Pearl Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Diamond Clan and resided in the [[Pearl Settlement]] on Hisui, they worshipped "{{p|Palkia|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over space.

* '''[[Celestica people]]''': A tribe who used to reside in Sinjoh before moving to Hisui and starting to worship Dialga, Palkia and {{p|Giratina}}, along with {{p|Arceus}}, who they referred to as Almighty Sinnoh.

===Human-like beings===
Beings similar to humans can be found through different worlds in Ultra Space, but their true species is never confirmed in the games.
* '''[[Ultra Megalopolis]]'s residents''': An advanced civilization of blue-skinned beings who live in a lightless world. Among them are also the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].
* '''[[Ultra Ruin]]'s residents''': A civilization of beings who live in an alternate version of [[Alola]]'s [[Hau'oli City]]. Most of them abandoned the planet due to {{p|Guzzlord}}, with the exception of a man wearing a Guzzlord-like suit.
* '''[[Ultra Forest]]'s residents''': A civilization of elder-looking beings who live in a peaceful japanese-looking forest along with many {{p|Kartana}}. All known residents of this world are known as [[Ultra Forest Kartenvoy]]s.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

==In the anime==
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world, particularly the [[Pokémon anime]], are often depicted with [[anime physics|greatly exaggerated physical strength or durability]]. However, this is rarely seen outside the anime.

===Technology===
{{wp|Videophone}}s have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} since the [[original series]].

===Human organizations===
* [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]: Organizes and coordinates [[Pokémon Contest]]s and related events.

Known structures linked to this civilization include the [[Relic Castle]], built 2,500 years ago; and [[Dragonspiral Tower]], said to be the oldest structure in Unova.
* [[Michina Town]] Ruins: Thousands of years ago [[Damos]] was granted the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power, which made the area a prosperous agricultural heartland, after he rescued {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. Shrine ruins near [[Sinnoh]]'s Michina Town remains the only evidence of the ancient society.
* [[People of the Water]]: A race of people who left behind [[Samiya]], a sea temple activated by crystals.

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]].

The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==In the core series games==
Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

==In the anime==
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world, particularly the [[Pokémon anime]], are often depicted with [[anime physics|greatly exaggerated physical strength or durability]]. However, this is rarely seen outside the anime.

Known structures linked to this civilization include the [[Relic Castle]], built 2,500 years ago; and [[Dragonspiral Tower]], said to be the oldest structure in Unova.
* [[Michina Town]] Ruins: Thousands of years ago [[Damos]] was granted the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power, which made the area a prosperous agricultural heartland, after he rescued {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. Shrine ruins near [[Sinnoh]]'s Michina Town remains the only evidence of the ancient society.

* In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves from a mask and staff. Neither the name of the people nor the civilization were given.

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shroomish}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Breloom is a bipedal, {{wp|mushroom}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some kangaroo and dinosaur-like qualities. Most of its body is green, but its head to its neck and its tail are beige. On top of its head is a green, mushroom-like cap with beige gills underneath and a round, red berry-like growth with a hole in the middle on either side. It has oval, black eyes, a beak-like mouth, and frilled segments around the base of its neck. There are two red claws on each of its hands and feet. At the end of its tail, there are seed clusters made of hardened toxic spores that are horrible to eat.

Breloom can stretch its short arms to deliver fast punches. Additionally, it has light, springy footwork that allows it to get close to opponents. Another way it closes in on opponents is by incapacitating them with spores released from the holes in its cap. Its technique is equal to that of professional boxers. It prefers to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}, where it feeds on decomposing trees and plants.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Breloom and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Shroomish}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Poison Heal}} as an Ability.

===Evolution===
Breloom evolves from {{p|Shroomish}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Breloom and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]] in {{m|Spore}} and [[Ability]] in {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], all of them are amongst the species that yield more {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} than usual upon capture.
* In [[Generation IV]], Breloom can learn {{m|False Swipe}} via breeding, but not via [[TM]].
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Breloom can learn {{m|Toxic}} via the [[Move Relearner]], but not via [[TM]].
* Prior to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Breloom was unable to learn Spore, while its pre-evolution could.
** It was also unable to learn Spore prior to Version 3.0.0 of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, although a [[Terastal phenomenon|Wild Tera Breloom]] with this move could be caught in [[West Province (Area Three)]].

===Origin===
Breloom seems to be based on a {{wp|mushroom}}, specificially {{wp|agaric}} types. The red nodules on its head resemble the berry-like {{wp|aril}}s on a {{wp|Taxus baccata|yew}} tree. The shape of its head is reminiscent of a ''{{wp|Kasa (hat)|kasa}}'', traditional Japanese hats with wide brims. Some of these hats were worn by monks, samurais, and soldiers, which may explain Breloom's {{t|Fighting}} type. Its body structure resembles a {{wp|kangaroo}}, so its Fighting type and boxing behavior could also be inspired by the {{wp|boxing kangaroo}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|dinosaur}} due to its claws, its dome-shape head resembling that of a {{wp|pachycephalosaurus}}, its club-shaped tail resembling that of an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, and its pre-evolution {{p|Shroomish}} resembling a {{wp|dinosaur egg}}.

====Name origin====
Breloom may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''mushroom''. It may also incorporate ''brawl''. Incidentally, Breloom is also an anagram of "bloomer".

Kinogassa may be a combination of キノコ ''kinoko'' (mushroom) and 笠 ''{{wp|Kasa (hat)|kasa}}'' (traditional Japanese hat) or 傘 ''kasa'' (umbrella). It may be derived from 衣笠茸 ''kinugasatake'' ({{wp|Phallus indusiatus|bamboo mushroom}}).

'''Shroomish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノココ''' ''Kinococo'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Breloom}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Shroomish is a small {{wp|fungus}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a mushroom. It has beady black eyes and a half-triangle-shaped mouth. Its upper body is beige with frilled segments along the bottom and a small opening at the top. There are green spots marking its upper body, while its lower body is completely green. It has small, round feet and no visible arms or hands. When it senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters toxic spores from the top of its head. These spores can make trees and weeds wilt and cause whole-body pain if inhaled. Shroomish lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}}. During the day, it hides under fallen leaves in the shade. It eats composted soil in forests, which is made up of fallen, rotten leaves.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Shroomish and its evolved form, {{p|Breloom}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Poison Heal}} as an Ability.

===Evolution===
Shroomish evolves into {{p|Breloom}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Shroomish and its evolved form share the same {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}; and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture.
* In [[Generation]] {{gen|IV}}, Shroomish can learn {{m|False Swipe}} via breeding, but not via [[TM]].

===Origin===
Shroomish appears to be based on a {{wp|mushroom}}, particularly a {{wp|puffball}} or an {{wp|Geastrales|earth star}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|dinosaur egg}} due to its round shape, its color scheme matching that of a [[Pokémon Egg]], and its evolved form {{p|Breloom}}'s resemblance to certain {{wp|dinosaur}}s.

====Name origin====
Shroomish may be derived from ''mushroom'' and the suffix ''-ish'' (almost like) or ''skirmish'' (brief battle).

Kinococo may be a combination of キノコ ''kinoko'' (mushroom) and 子 ''ko'' (child).

'''Masquerain''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アメモース''' ''Amemoth'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Surskit}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
[[File:MasquerainParadoxRift2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masquerain's translucent wings]]
Masquerain is a light blue {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings on each side of its body. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes. On either side of its head is a large antenna that resembles an angry eye. The antennae are white with pink along the lower rim. White lines along the rim resemble eyelashes, while a large, dark pink dot in the middle represents the pupil or iris. These eyespots are used to intimidate enemies.

Masquerain's four wings allow it to fly in any direction and hover, but it cannot fly when its wings are wet. As shown in its official artwork and the [[TCG]], the wings are translucent. Additionally, rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and droop. In order to protect its wings and antennae, this Pokémon will shelter under trees or the eaves of houses. Masquerain lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

==Trivia==
* Masquerain can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Araquanid}}. Both share the {{t|Bug}} type and the same base stat totals, and both can be found at [[Malie Garden]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], taking the place of the other depending on the [[time]], with Masquerain being found during the night and Araquanid in the day. Furthermore, both are the evolved forms of Pokémon based partially on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerridae water striders].
* Of all changes to base stat totals, Masquerain received the largest increase at 40 in Generation VII.

===Origin===
Masquerain seems to be based on a variety of {{wp|insect}}s. Although rarely shown, it apparently has the ability to walk on the surface of water using its wings as if they were legs, so it may be based on a {{wp|water strider}}. Its Japanese name suggests inspiration from {{wp|moth}}s, many of which use {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} to frighten would-be predators. Its habitat, translucent wings, hovering flight pattern, and its transformation from water-type to flying-type are reminiscent of {{wp|dragonflies}} and {{wp|damselflies}}. Its raindrop-shaped head resembles some {{wp|Fulgoridae|lanternflies}}. Its {{wp|mimicry}} of an angry face is similar to a {{wp|mask}} or cat face.

====Name origin====
Masquerain may be a combination of ''masquerade'' (a disguise) and ''rain''.

Amemoth may be a combination of 雨 ''ame'' (rain) or 水黽 ''amenbo'' ({{wp|Gerridae|water strider}}) and ''{{wp|moth}}''.

'''Swellow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オオスバメ''' ''Ohsubame'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Taillow}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
Swellow is a large, dark-blue {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a red breast and face. A crest of feathers sweeps back from the top of its head. A blue stripe separates the red markings on its head and chest, and it has a white underside. It has small, narrow eyes, a pointed, yellow beak, and red feet with black talons. Each foot has three forward-facing toes and one pointed backward. Two long, pointed feathers with red tips form its tail and are an indication of good health when standing up straight. Swellow's wings taper to a sharp point. An impressive dive-bomber, it will {{m|Aerial Ace|never miss its target}}. Additionally, it takes great pride in its glossy plumage and often cleans the wings of other Swellow. It searches for {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|warm meadows}} while in the air. Swellow preys on {{p|Wurmple}}.

===Evolution===
Swellow evolves from {{p|Taillow}}.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Swellow seems to be based on a {{wp|swallow}}, specifically the {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}. Its colors and {{wp|Crest (feathers)|crest}} are also similar to those of a {{wp|treeswift}}. Its predatory behavior and speedy flight may be based on {{wp|falcon}}s or the {{wp|swallow-tailed kite}}. Its {{Shiny}} colors and long tail feathers resemble those of the {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}.

====Name origin====
Swellow may be a combination of ''swell'' (excellent, or to grow larger) and ''swallow''.

Ohsubame may be a corruption of 大燕 ''ōtsubame'' (large swallow).

'''Taillow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スバメ''' ''Subame'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

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

==Biology==
Taillow is a small {{wp|bird|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with dark blue feathers. A red marking with pointed tips stretches from its chest to its forehead, and it has a white underside. It has narrow brown eyes and a short yellow beak. It has elongated wingtips and black feet with yellow talons. Each foot has three toes facing forward and one backward. Two sharply pointed feathers form its tail.

Taillow is very gutsy and will stand up to powerful opponents without backing down. During the cold season, this Pokémon will fly over 180 miles (300 kilometers) per day to search for {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|areas that have warm climates}}. It typically hunts {{p|Wurmple}}, but flocks have also been shown eating crops in [[HS03|the anime]]. When it is hungry, it will weaken and cry loudly.

===Evolution===
Taillow evolves into {{p|Swellow}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Taillow has exactly the same base stats as {{p|Wingull}}, with only their {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} swapped.
* Taillow, {{p|Starly}}, and {{p|Pikipek}} are tied with:
** {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Ledyba}}, and Wingull for the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Combee}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Flying-type Pokémon.
** Wingull and {{p|Pidove}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Flying-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Taillow seems to be based on a {{wp|swallow}}, specifically the {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}.

====Name origin====
Taillow may be a combination of ''tail'' and ''swallow''.

Subame may be a corruption of 燕 ''tsubame'' (swallow).

'''Shiftry''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダーテング''' ''Dirteng'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nuzleaf}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Seedot}}.

==Biology==
Shiftry is a bipedal, portly {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be made of wood. A shaggy white mane covers most of its face and trails down its back. Long pointed ears poke out the top of its mane, and it has a long, pointed nose and a large mouth with teeth that are usually bared. Its eyes are yellow with black sclerae. This Pokémon's feet resemble Japanese {{wp|Geta (footwear)|tengu-geta}}. Three broad leaves with brown spokes form each of its hands and are used to create powerful winds close to 100 feet (30 meters) per second in speed. A female will have smaller leaves than a male.

Shiftry is a wicked, mysterious, and very rare Pokémon that lives atop ancient trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|deep tropical forests}}. It arrives with freezing winds and is feared by people as the guardian of the forest. It is said that when Shiftry does this, the winter season will arrive. It can read an opponent's mind and then take preemptive action. [[AG037|In the anime]], it was shown to lead large groups of {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}}. Folklore states that Shiftry was once an evil bird Pokémon before its wings and beak were replaced as punishment for its misdemeanor.

===Evolution===
Shiftry evolves from {{p|Nuzleaf}} and is the final form of {{p|Seedot}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Shiftry's evolutionary line can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Ludicolo}}'s family. All members of their respective families are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, a respective [[Evolution stone]] is used to reach the final stage, both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and both are based on yōkai: Shiftry's family is based on the {{wp|tengu}} and Ludicolo's family is based on the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}.

===Origin===
Shiftry seems to be based on a mature {{wp|oak tree}} and a {{wp|tengu}}, Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} with long noses who use their supernatural powers to protect forests and play cruel tricks on people. Like Shiftry, tengu are often depicted with flowing white hair and wearing single-toothed wooden sandals called {{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}}. They also wield magical {{wp|hand fan|fans}} that have the power to stir great winds, similar to Shiftry's leafy hands and ability to learn moves such as {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Hurricane}}, as well as having the {{a|Wind Rider}} Ability. Its wooden, humanoid body and large mouth are also reminiscent of a {{wp|nutcracker doll}}.

====Name origin====
Shiftry may be a combination of ''shifty'' (appearing deceitful) and ''tree''.

Dirteng may be a combination of ''dirty'' (dishonest) and 天狗 ''{{wp|tengu}}''.

'''Nuzleaf''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コノハナ''' ''Konohana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Seedot}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Shiftry}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Nuzleaf is a bipedal {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a single green leaf atop its head. The leaf is smaller on the female. This Pokémon is mostly brown with a beige mask marking on its face. Its bulky thighs are also beige and have thin striations, and there are what appear to be two nipples on its chest. It has thin arms with mitten-like hands. If its long, pointed nose is grabbed, Nuzleaf will lose its power. The nose serves functions as a sensory.

Using the leaf on its head as a flute, it makes music with leaves that create a sense of unease in people. However, it can also play comforting melodies. Nuzleaf lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical forests}} and is skilled at climbing, but it will come out of the forest to frighten people. Nuzleaf uses a sound similar to a grass tune to warn wandering intruders.

In [[Generation III]], {{m|Extrasensory}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Nuzleaf evolves from {{p|Seedot}} and evolves intro {{p|Shiftry}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Nuzleaf shares its category with {{p|Impidimp}}. They are both known as the Wily Pokémon.
* Despite several of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries stating that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute, Nuzleaf has never been able to learn the move {{m|Grass Whistle}}.

===Origin===
Nuzleaf appears to be based on a sprouting {{wp|acorn}} and a {{wp|tengu}}, Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} with long noses who use their supernatural powers to protect forests and play cruel tricks on people. It may also be partly based on the similarly named shibatengu, childlike yōkai who wear little clothing and sumo wrestle with humans. Its habit of playing a grass flute is reminiscent of {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}}, the Greek god of nature known for playing reed pipes. Its wooden, humanoid body and long nose are also reminiscent of {{wp|Pinocchio}}.

====Name origin====
Nuzleaf may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' (to rub with the nose) or ''nose'' and ''leaf''.

Konohana may be a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child), 木の葉 ''konoha'' (leaves), and 鼻 ''hana'' (nose). It may also come from the Konoha-Tengu, a type of weak Tengu that doesn't have many powers.

'''Seedot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タネボー''' ''Taneboh'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Nuzleaf}} starting at level 14, which evolves into {{p|Shiftry}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Seedot is a small, brown {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an acorn. A beige, mask-like pattern covers its large black eyes, and it has two beige feet. It has a gray "cap" with a short stem on top of its head. The stem is used to hang from tree branches in its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forest home}}. While hanging, this Pokémon absorbs moisture and nutrients from the tree until it becomes too heavy and falls to the ground. The more it drinks, the glossier its body becomes. Additionally, Seedot polishes itself with leaves once daily. If it remains still, it can be mistaken for a nut and startles others by moving suddenly. It also uses this strategy to be taken by bird Pokémon to expand on its habitat. {{p|Pidgey}} is a natural predator of Seedot.

===Evolution===
Seedot evolves into {{p|Nuzleaf}}, which evolves into {{p|Shiftry}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Together with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Goldeen}}, Seedot is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|video game}}, with only one loop necessary.
* Seedot can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Lotad}}:
** Both of them are {{type|Grass}} {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Seedot is exclusive to {{game|Ruby}}, while Lotad is exclusive to Pokémon Sapphire, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions.
*** Additionally, both Pokémon can be found in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} by using the [[dual-slot mode]], with Seedot requiring Pokémon Ruby, and Lotad requiring Pokémon Sapphire.
** They are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}} and need an [[Evolution stone]] to reach their fully evolved form.
** They have the same base stat total of 220.
** Both evolutionary families also have an [[Ability]] that doubles their {{stat|Speed}} depending on the [[weather]], those being {{a|Swift Swim}} and {{a|Chlorophyll}}.
* Seedot is tied with {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Sunkern}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Seedot seems to be based on an {{wp|acorn}}, with its {{wp|calybium and cupule|cupule|}} resembling a {{wp|cap}}.

====Name origin====

'''Ludicolo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルンパッパ''' ''Runpappa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lombre}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

==Biology==
Ludicolo is a bipedal {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that appears to be a mixture of a pineapple and a duck. There is a green, sombrero-like growth on its head that is similar to a lily pad. Growing out of the top of its head is a short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. Ludicolo has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is covered with shaggy yellow fur and has several zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male. Ludicolo has large, green hands with two black lines on its palms, and thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet.

Ludicolo becomes more powerful when it hears festive music and will appear near laughing children on hikes. The reason is due to structures in Ludicolo's body that can produce energy when hit by sound waves with a cheerful rhythm. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. This allows Ludicolo to face enemies without fear. Being the result of evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ludicolo is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found near the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Ludicolo and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Rain Dish}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Ludicolo evolves from {{p|Lombre}} and is the final form of {{p|Lotad}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dual [[Egg Group]] of {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}}.
** They are the only Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Rain Dish}} without it being their Hidden Ability.
** They are the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shiftry}}'s family. Both of them are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, and a respective [[Evolution stone]] is used to reach the final stage. Both are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and are based on Japanese legendary creatures or yokai: Ludicolo's family are based on the kappa and Shiftry's is based on the tengu.
*Ludicolo is one of the few Pokémon whose official artwork depicts the female form.

===Origin===
Ludicolo seems to be based on a {{wp|lily pad}} and the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that has a water-filled dish on its head and a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak (although Ludicolo's beak is closer to that of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|platypus}}). The colors and shape of its body are similar to various fruits such as a {{wp|gourd}}, {{wp|pineapple}}, or {{wp|papaya}}. It also resembles a stereotypical {{wp|Folk dance of Mexico|Mexican folk dancer}} or {{wp|mariachi}} performer with its {{wp|sombrero}}-shaped head, {{wp|poncho}}-like body hair, and dancing movements.

====Name origin====
Ludicolo may be a combination of ''ludic'' (aimlessly playful), ''ludicrous'', ''ridiculous'' (absurd or silly), ''paludicolous'' (inhabiting a marsh), and ''{{wp|Citrullus colocynthis|colocynth}}'' (a plant that bears a round, green fruit). It may also involve an anagram of ''loco'' (Spanish for crazy).

Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン ''runrun'' (happy or bouncy) or ''{{wp|Rumba (dance)|rumba}}'' (a Cuban dance) and 河童 ''{{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}'' or ''papaya'' (a green fruit native to Mexico).

'''Lombre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハスブレロ''' ''Hasubrero'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lotad}} starting at [[level]] 14 and evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Lombre is a bipedal {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is mostly green with some light blue markings. Its face, ears, arms, and back are light blue. It has stubby, round ears, large eyes with small pupils, and a red bill-like mouth. There is a large lilypad on its head, which has a notch in it and resembles a sombrero. Lombre has long arms with four red claws and a thumb on each hand and feet with three red claws and a toe. Its entire body is covered in a thin, slimy film that creates an unpleasant sensation when touched. Lombre is sometimes mistaken for a human child. In [[Kitakami]], there is a legend that Lombre was once a mischief child before being reborn as a Pokémon.

Lombre is a nocturnal Pokémon that sleeps on a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|bed of water grass}} during the day. Very mischievous, this Pokémon will tug on fishing lines from underwater and pop out to startle people. It feeds on aquatic moss that grows on rocks in the riverbed. Lombre prefers living in waterfronts that contain plenty of food. It tends to become nocturnal to avoid competition with bird Pokémon.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Lombre and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Rain Dish}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Lombre evolves from {{p|Lotad}} and evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Lombre's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dual [[Egg Group]] of {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}}.
** They are the only Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Rain Dish}} without it being their Hidden Ability.
** They are the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.

===Origin===
Lombre seems to be based on a {{wp|lily pad}} and the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that has a water-filled dish on its head and a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak. It also resembles a stereotypical {{wp|Folk dance of Mexico|Mexican folk dancer}} or {{wp|mariachi}} performer with its {{wp|sombrero}}-shaped head, body markings that resemble a {{wp|charro outfit|charro jacket}}, and its red beak that resembles a {{wp|mustache}}.

====Name origin====
Lombre may be a combination of ''{{wp|lotus}}'', ''hombre'' (Spanish for ''man''), and ''{{wp|sombrero}}'' (Spanish for ''hat'').

Hasubrero may be a combination of 蓮 ''hasu'' (lotus) and ''sombrero''.

'''Lotad''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハスボー''' ''Hassboh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lombre}} starting at [[level]] 14, which evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]].

==Biology==
Lotad is a small, blue {{wp|plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with six stubby legs. It has large eyes and a wide, yellow mouth similar to a bill. A large leaf that resembles a lilypad covers its back. This large leaf allows Lotad to float across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|ponds}}, and it will sometimes ferry smaller Pokémon on its back in this manner.

The head leaf is a natural dirt-repellent. The leaf can stay clean even after transporting Pokémon covered in mud. However, the leaf will wilt if Lotad becomes dehydrated. Its size and weight prevent Lotad from living on land, but, on rare occasions, it travels on land in search of clean water. Lotad is known to gather in lakes of good water quality. The lake's surfaces are occasionally covered in Lotad leaves.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Lotad and its evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Rain Dish}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Lotad evolves into {{p|Lombre}}, which evolves into {{p|Ludicolo}}.

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

====Major appearances====
=====[[Brock's Lotad]]=====
In ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'', three sisters named [[Natalie]], [[Nicole]], and {{OBP|Rita|AG012}} owned a flower shop and a horde of Lotad. One of these Lotad were given to {{an|Brock}}. This particular Lotad was a bit slow and sometimes stared blankly for a few seconds before attacking. In ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home]]'', it evolved into a Lombre.

In ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', [[Forsythia]]'s Lotad was the only one that knew her normally shy {{p|Roserade}} was the one secretly and fearlessly protecting her [[Berry]] garden.

In ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', multiple Lotad were startled when [[James's Inkay]] attacked the river with {{m|Psybeam}}. They subsequently attacked Team Rocket, as well as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, with {{m|Energy Ball}}, thus separating the groups from each other.

==Trivia==
* Lotad's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dual [[Egg Group]] of {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}}.
** They are the only Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Rain Dish}} without it being their Hidden Ability.
** They are the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.
* Lotad can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Seedot}}:
** Both of them are {{type|Grass}} {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Lotad is exclusive to {{game|Sapphire}}, while Seedot is exclusive to Pokémon Ruby, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions.
*** Additionally, both Pokémon can be found in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} by using the [[dual-slot mode]], with Lotad requiring Pokémon Sapphire, and Seedot requiring Pokémon Ruby.
** They are {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}} and need an [[Evolution stone]] to reach their fully evolved form.
** They have the same base stat total of 220.
** Both evolutionary families also have an [[Ability]] that doubles their {{stat|Speed}} depending on the [[weather]], those being {{a|Swift Swim}} and {{a|Chlorophyll}}.
* Lotad is tied with {{p|Sunkern}} and {{p|Bramblin}} for having the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Lotad appears to be based on a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}} and the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that has a water-filled dish on its head and a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak.

====Name origin====
Lotad may be a combination of ''{{wp|lotus}}'' and ''{{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}'', ''tad'' (a small amount), or ''{{wp|tadpole}}'' (a young amphibian).

Hassboh may be a combination of 蓮 ''hasu'' (lotus) and 赤ん坊 ''akanbō'' (baby) or 帽子 ''bōshi'' (hat).

'''Makuhita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マクノシタ''' ''Makunoshita'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Hariyama}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Makuhita is a bipedal humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bulky build. Most of its body is yellow, but it has a black marking on its chest that extends around its neck. Its round hands resemble black boxing gloves, but its feet are yellow with two visible toes. On its cheeks are red, ring-shaped markings, and it has slit-like eyes. On top of its head is a knot, which causes it to resemble a punching bag.

Makuhita is very gutsy and never gives up, no matter how many times it is knocked down. Energy is built into its body each time it rises back up. Broken trees often surround its nest, because it trains by slapping and slamming into them. It is known to mistake {{p|Exeggutor}} for a tree, and often gets flung away as a result. This Pokémon eats lots of food and gets plenty of sleep. Its rigorous training and lifestyle give it a sturdy body able to withstand any attack. It is found living and training in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas.}} Although initially brought from another region to [[Alola]], Makuhita found in Alola are more famous than its region's counterparts.

Makuhita and its evolved form, {{p|Hariyama}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Smelling Salts}} by leveling up. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Arm Thrust}} was also one of its signature moves.

===Evolution===
Makuhita evolves into {{p|Hariyama}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Makuhita is the only Pokémon to be turned into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] in both {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}} outside of Japan, though several other Pokémon within the same evolutionary family are turned into Shadow Pokémon in both games, such as Ariados in Colosseum and Spinarak in XD.
* Makuhita has a lower catch rate than its evolution.
* Makuhita has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}} stats of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* All of Makuhita's [[base stats]] are exactly half the value of {{p|Hariyama}}'s.

===Origin===
Makuhita appears to be based on a {{wp|rikishi|sumo wrestler}}, also called a ''rikishi'' or ''sumōtori''. It also resembles a {{wp|punching bag}} due to its plump body and topknot. The topknot may be a reference to a {{wp|chonmage}} (a traditional hairstyle for sumo wrestlers). Makuhita's hands resemble {{wp|boxing gloves}}, and its two-toed feet resemble {{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}} or {{wp|zōri}} (Japanese wooden sandals). The black marking around its neck resembles a baby {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}, indicating its inexperience as an unevolved Pokémon and that sumo wrestlers need to follow a multi-calorie diet.

====Name origin====
Makuhita and Makunoshita may be corruptions of 幕下 ''{{wp|Professional sumo divisions#Makushita|makushita}}'' (the third-highest {{wp|sumo}} division).

'''Hariyama''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリテヤマ''' ''Hariteyama'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Makuhita}} starting at [[level]] 24.

It is said to be a relative of the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Hands}}<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> or a version of it<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> from a different timeline.

==Biology==
Hariyama is a large, bulky humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is modeled after a sumo wrestler. It has narrow eyes and rounded ears. On its head is a short, triangular crest. Dark blue hair grows across the tops of its eyes, around the head crest, and extends down its back to form a long ponytail. The upper half of its body is cream-colored, while the lower half is dark blue. Yellow extensions encircle its waist, resembling a skirt. There is a small, orange half-circle marking in the center of its torso just above the skirt. Hariyama has large hands with three fingers and small, two-toed feet. Both its hands and feet are orange.

Hariyama's body consists mostly of muscle instead of fat. When its body tenses, its muscles become as hard as stone. It likes to match power with other big-bodied Pokémon and can stomp the ground to build its own power. Trucks can be sent flying, telephone poles broken in two, and trains can even be stopped by its powerful slapping arms. They are kindhearted and practice etiquette, praising its battle opponents. As it grows older, it focuses more on training {{p|Makuhita}}. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous areas.}} {{p|Iron Hands}} bear a resemblance to Hariyama.

Hariyama and its pre-evolved form, Makuhita, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Smelling Salts}} by leveling up. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Arm Thrust}} was also one of its signature moves.

===Evolution===
Hariyama evolves from {{p|Makuhita}}.

==Trivia==
* Each of Hariyama's [[base stats]] is exactly double those of its pre-evolution {{p|Makuhita}}.
* Hariyama has a higher [[catch rate]] than its pre-evolution.

===Origin===
Hariyama seems to be based on a {{wp|rikishi|sumo wrestler}}, also known as a ''rikishi'' or ''sumōtori''. Its bald head and long hair resemble a {{wp|chonmage}} (a traditional hairstyle for sumo wrestlers) before it is tied into a topknot. Its two-toed feet resemble {{wp|geta (footwear)|geta}} or {{wp|zōri}} (Japaense wooden sandals). The square flaps surrounding its midsection resemble ''sagari'' (stiff strings) that hang off a wrestler's {{wp|mawashi}} (cloth belt). Its large hands, {{pkmn|category}}, and ability to learn {{m|Arm Thrust}} may be a reference to ''harite'' (an open-hand strike), and its habit of stomping the ground in battle may be a reference to ''shiko'' (an exercise/ritual used to drive away spirits).

Its ability to learn {{m|Brine}} and [[signature move]] {{m|Smelling Salts}} may be a reference to the ritual of throwing salt before a match to purify the {{wp|dohyō}} (wrestling ring), and its ability to learn {{m|Whirlwind}} could be a reference to the god of thunder, {{wp|Takemikazuchi}}, who is believed to have fought in the first recorded sumo wrestle. Hariyama's behavior - attempting to derail trains with its punches, challenging larger Pokémon, and elderly Hariyama training younger Makuhita - is comparable to {{wp|the Great Gama}}, a wrestler famed worldwide for his Herculean strength and 50-year win streak, who fought people much larger and older than himself from a young age, and, after retiring, threatened to stop a moving train with his bare hands in protest for free travel fees for impoverished people, and went on to train his nephew during his retirement years.

====Name origin====
Hariyama and Hariteyama may be combinations of 張り手 ''harite'' (an open-hand strike), 張り合う ''hariau'' (to compete with), 張り倒す ''haritaosu'' (to knock down), 針山 ''hariyama'' (pincushion, referring to its plump body), and 山 ''yama'' (mountain, referring to its large size).

'''Sableye''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤミラミ''' ''Yamirami'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Sableye can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Sableye''' using the [[Sablenite]].

==Biology==
[[File:SableyeAlolanMoonlight31.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Sableye feeding on gems]]
Sableye is a bipedal humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dark purple body, armed with sharp teeth and claws, which it uses to dig through soil. It has pale blue, gemstone-like eyes, which allow it to see in low light and sparkle in the dark. It also has a red gemstone on its chest, and its back has a blue and green gemstone as well as another red one. These gem-like eyes and adornments on its body are caused by its diet, which consists of rocks and raw gemstones. Because of this, each individual Sableye can create an infinite number of patterns on its body.

It also targets {{p|Carbink}} as prey, though they are usually taken by {{p|Gabite}} before Sableye can reach them. It is feared by people since it is said to steal a person's soul if they look into its eyes. It is nocturnal and is rarely seen. It lives in the darkness of {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It uses its claws to dig for gems to eat and fight back.

Sableye is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Stall}} as an [[Ability]].

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

As Mega Sableye, being bathed in Mega Evolution energy causes the red jewel on its chest to rip out of Sableye's skin and significantly increase in size; the detached jewel leaves a small hole in Mega Sableye's chest. Its ears elongate, and it gains a spike on the top of its head. Its teeth turn from white to yellow, and its eyes also change from pale blue to crimson red, with diagonal slits at their inner edges. Its back gains more gems: a second green one, a second red one, and two small yellow gems.

The enlarged jewel is said to boast such incredible hardness that no attack can even leave a scratch on it. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.<ref name= "Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-sableye</ref> However, being forced to support its massive jewel leaves Sableye unable to turn quickly, making it vulnerable from behind.

==Trivia==
* Sableye seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Mawile}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}. Both also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms and the same [[base stats|base stat totals]], as well as [[HP]] and {{stat|Speed}}.
* Sableye shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Murkrow}}. They are both known as the Darkness Pokémon.
* Mega Sableye is the has the lowest base Speed stat of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.
* Prior to the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type in [[Generation VI]], Sableye (along with {{p|Spiritomb}}) had no weaknesses under normal conditions.

===Origin===
Sableye may be based on the {{wp|Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter|Hopkinsville Goblin}}, a creature from an alleged Kentucky alien encounter described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye imitates in the 3D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in several media.

The [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|ruby and sapphire]] on Sableye's body may be a reference to the games it debuted in.

====Name origin====
Sableye may be a combination of ''sable'' (either referring to {{wp|Sable (heraldry)|the heraldic color}} or {{wp|Sable|the animal}} it is named after) and ''{{wp|eye}}''. It may also be a play on ''able-eyed''.

Yamirami may be a combination of 闇 ''yami'' (darkness) and 藪睨み ''yabunirami'' (cross-eyed sight, squint) or 睨み ''nirami'' (glare).

Knight Brazil93: /* Culture */

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]].

The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==In the core series games==
Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like [[Lt. Surge]] (in the Japanese anime and games), the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Human organizations===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]
:''See also: {{cat|Organizations}}''
* [[International Police]]: A law enforcement organization.
* [[Pokémon Association]]: Handles legislation regarding Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon League]]: Regulates [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and oversees the regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}s.
* [[Villainous team]]s: Always human outside of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the villainous teams would threaten the region, and serve as antagonists to be defeated. They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===
* {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}: Raises and mates Pokémon for genetic improvements such as [[move]]s, [[individual values]], and [[Nature]]s.
* {{tc|Nurse}}: Heal up fainted or wounded Pokémon, more commonly found in [[Pokémon Center|Pokémon Centers]] throughout the regions.
* {{tc|Doctor}}:
* {{tc|Instructor}}/{{tc|Teacher}}: Teach {{tc|School Kid|School kids}}, {{tc|Schoolboy|boys}} and {{tc|Schoolgirl|girls}} in many different [[Pokémon Academy|Pokémon Academies]] all over the world. In the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, teachers are known as instructors.
* [[Fossil]] researcher:
* [[Pokémon Coordinator]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, by feeding them snacks used to enhance their appearances and teaching them moves designed for particular [[appeal]]s.
* [[Gym Leader]]: Challenges Trainers to test if they are skilled enough to take on the [[Pokémon League]] challenge. They hand out a [[Badge]] to Trainers who defeat them in battle.
* [[Pokémon Professor]]: Researches certain aspects of Pokémon and the [[Pokémon world]], such as [[Evolution]] and habitat. They also hand out [[starter Pokémon]] to aspiring Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* '''{{p|Claydol}}'s creators''': A civilization dating 20,000 years ago, they modeled clay dolls after something that descended from the sky and it was given life by a myserious ray of light.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

==In the anime==
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world, particularly the [[Pokémon anime]], are often depicted with [[anime physics|greatly exaggerated physical strength or durability]]. However, this is rarely seen outside the anime.

'''"Looker"''' (Japanese: '''ハンサム''' ''Handsome'') is the codename for an [[International Police]] officer who travels the world investigating various villainous teams. He was introduced in {{game|Platinum}} as an International Police officer investigating [[Team Galactic]]. He has since appeared multiple times throughout the [[core series]], in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], frequently investigating the activities of [[villainous team]]s.

==In the core series games==
==={{game|Platinum}}===
[[File:Looker.png‎|thumb|left|The player meeting Looker in Pokémon Platinum]]
In Pokémon Platinum, Looker is an important character, encountering the {{player}} multiple times over their journey across [[Sinnoh]]. He speaks with odd grammatical constructs, implying that he is not entirely fluent with the regional language; however, this is not present in the Japanese version. He first meets the player in [[Jubilife City]], giving them the [[Vs. Recorder]], and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region. He is then met again at the [[Valley Windworks]], right after Team Galactic flees from the area. Disappointed in just missing them, he searches the area for clues, which leads him somehow to the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], where Team Galactic have kidnapped [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Pokémon. Looker infiltrates the building by disguising himself as a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}.

The player next encounters Looker at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], if one decides to look there. If not, then he will appear after the player and {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} battle the Team Galactic Grunts in front of the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Warehouse]]. He leads the player into the warehouse and realize that the inner door is locked. He also finds {{HM|02|Fly}}, leaving the player to take it.

Looker will appear once the player goes to [[Team Galactic HQ]] and talks to the Grunt outside. He will reveal that he has the {{si|Storage Key}} and will tell the player to meet him in the Galactic Warehouse. Once there, he will open the door and go down to investigate.

Inside the headquarters, he will not be seen until the player reaches the meeting room, where he is seen eavesdropping on a gathering of members of Team Galactic. He will tell the player to listen to their meeting with him. When it is over, he will leave again.

Later, he gives the player a [[Black Flute]] when they are about to go off to the [[Spear Pillar]].

When [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Looker shifts his investigation towards [[Charon]], who has taken control of the team. This is because Looker stumbles upon Charon's notes of his plans back at the [[Team Galactic HQ]]. He is not seen again until after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], when they journey to [[Stark Mountain]]. Here, he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Charon and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, he can be found in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. He mentions that he wants to spend his remaining time in Sinnoh to teach new moves to his Pokémon.

====Disguises====
Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic Grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Charon, he disguises himself as a [[breakable rock]].

===Pokémon Black and White===
[[File:Looker BW.png|thumb|Looker meeting {{ga|Hilbert}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Looker is found in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where he is assigned to capture the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]] after the events at [[N's Castle]].

He first meets the player at their home in [[Nuvema Town]], after the player defeats Team Plasma at N's Castle. He appears disguised as the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}}, only to realize that he forgot to remove his disguise. He asks for the player's assistance in finding the Seven Sages, and gives the player a [[Super Rod]].

Looker will appear upon finding each sage to take him into custody. After apprehending the final sage, Looker tells the player that [[N]] was seen in a distant land with a {{t|dragon}} Pokémon.

===Pokémon X and Y===
Looker has traveled to the [[Kalos]] region on an assignment to find and arrest [[Xerosic]] but keeps his affiliation with the International Police a secret from the player, introducing himself as a detective recently located to [[Lumiose City]]. The player first meets him after receiving an invitation to come to {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}} over the [[Holo Caster]], the first time they enter Lumiose City after upgrading the [[Mega Ring]]. Looker signs the player on as his assistant in his fight for justice, and the two begin taking on cases together. During their first case, he meets a homeless young girl named [[Emma]] and her {{p|Espurr}} named Mimi, whom he decides to take under his wing. He becomes a father-figure to the girl, but because of their poor living conditions, Emma feels she is a burden to Looker and decides to look for a job to help support him. She finds a job at {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}} and her employer turns out to be none other than Xerosic, who uses [[Emma]] as a test subject for a special suit that has a cloaking device and can power up any Pokémon the user has. Xerosic remotely controls the suit and makes Emma commit various crimes (although she is completely unaware of what she is doing). Looker and the player manage to rescue her, and Looker arrests Xerosic and leaves Kalos. He leaves a letter with Mimi that reveals his real position as a member of the International Police, and that he has paid for the property in full so that Emma may continue to call the bureau home and use it however she pleases. He also transfers his codename 'Looker' to the player character (this is merely a story point and has no impact on the gameplay).

In these games, his strange style of speech is significantly scaled back. It is also strongly suggested that his Croagunk was killed during a case sometime in the past.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
[[File:Looker ORAS.png|thumb|Looker giving {{ga|Brendan}} an Audinite in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
Looker appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] in the [[Battle Resort]]. He suffers from amnesia due to an unknown reason. He is washed up on the shore, and is soaking wet when the player found him. A woman brought him to her cottage to dry himself up. At the cottage, he gives the player an [[Audinite]].

===Pokémon Sun and Moon===
After the player becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, Looker appears with his superior, [[Anabel]], to investigate the [[Ultra Beast]]s, having received orders from the International Police. To this end, he collaborates with the player to capture the Beasts and prevent them from wreaking havoc. Looker is tasked to stand by for back-up as he does not have any Pokémon, and he frequently shows concern for Anabel as she becomes exhausted over the missions.

It is revealed that, ten years prior to the events of Sun and Moon, Looker was part of a three-person team that included himself, [[Nanu]], and an unnamed [[Ultra Wormhole#Fallers|Faller]]. At this time, Looker had a code name, '''100kr''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｎｏ．|ナンバー}}８３６'''). His team was tracking down a {{p|Guzzlord}}, but when they found it, a moment of pity from Looker resulted in the untrained Faller losing her life. Unbeknownst to Looker, the International Police had sent the woman as bait, since Ultra Beasts are drawn to Fallers. After their mission, Looker and Nanu discovered an unconscious Anabel on the shore of [[Poni Island]], having lost most of her memories.

Looker also reveals that Nanu was his superior when he first joined the International Police.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
Looker is found outside of the police station on {{rt|9|Alola}} where he gives the player a [[Thunder Stone]]. He comments that Alola is a peaceful place and has no need to worry for people [[Cyrus|trying to create a new world]] or [[Ghetsis|liberating Pokémon from their Trainers]]. However, he has a certain concern about reported [[Team Rocket]] sightings.

Looker is later seen in [[Poni Grove]] alongside Anabel, telling her to enjoy her vacation in the Alola region. He serves as a bodyguard to Anabel who wishes to train her Pokémon at the [[Battle Tree]]. He gives the player a [[Red Card]] and leaves.

==Quotes==
{{main|Looker/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====History====
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Looker anime.png|thumb|250px|Looker in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Looker debuted in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met Looker while taking a train leading to [[Lake Acuity]], and decided to help him distribute lunch boxes as he has bought too many of them. He decided to investigate the reason behind the signal which caused the train to stop and discovered it was the doing of [[Team Galactic]].

[[File:Looker Badge.png|thumb|left|250px|Looker's International Police Badge]]
In ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', Looker investigated Team Galactic's activities in [[Mt. Coronet]] while disguised as a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt|Grunt}} to blend in. He revealed his identity as a member of the [[International Police]], taking everyone by surprise. Team Galactic immediately flooded the area and fled with the [[Spear Key]], while Looker used his inflatable boat to rescue himself and the group.

In ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', Looker was captured by {{tc|Commander}} [[Jupiter]] and held captive at the [[Fuego Ironworks]]. He was later freed from his cell by {{MTR}} and the group after Jupiter made a tactical retreat. Looker then escorted everyone around the Ironworks, and discovered evidence of manufacturing, a piece of [[Red Chain]]. Everyone returned to the [[Floaroma Town]] Police Station with the evidence, which proved to be a decoy and wiped the International Police's system clean. Looker was frustrated by the set back, but set off once again in pursuit of Team Galactic.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', Looker returned to Mt. Coronet to continue his investigations. The Rocket trio soon found him and decided to join his scheme by disguising themselves as Team Galactic Grunts to go undetected. By ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Looker and Team Rocket had defeated and replaced the waiting guards outside the gate to [[Spear Pillar]]. Unfortunately [[Cyrus]] and his Commander easily see through the disguises which results in them being incapacitated placed in a cell with Ash and his friends. [[Cynthia]] arrives later to free Looker and the others, who go on to dismantle Team Galactic and the Commanders are arrested by the police.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
{{n|Handsome to make a comeback in Best Wishes|Looker was set to make a comeback}} in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] before they were indefinitely {{n|Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved|postponed}}. The events of these episodes are not canonical.

After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. He had originally disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}, but revealed his true identity after saving Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} from a group of attacking Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. He explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.
[[File:Looker Hiker.png|thumb|left|250px|Looker disguised as a Hiker]]
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Looker again investigated actions caused by Team Plasma. Ash and friends encountered him in a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter. When a missed {{m|Shadow Ball}} from [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} hit the machine, it was broken, freeing the controlled Pokémon.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the {{an|White Ruins}}. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Looker wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existence.

====Character====
[[File:Looker and Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|Looker and Team Rocket]]
Looker maintains his mysterious [[International Police]] status through the use of disguises and infiltration, allowing him to acquire secret intelligence. He has to be quick witted and always with a back-up plan.

In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Looker built an alliance with {{TRT}} while trying to take down [[Team Galactic]]. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} referred to him as '''Boxed-Lunch Guy''' (Japanese: '''ランチボックスさん''' ''Mr. Lunchbox'') because he gave them boxed lunches while on the Ampharos Train. That simple act left them extremely loyal to him. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', this relationship was shown to have carried on, as seen in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he managed to convince them into joining the final battle against [[Team Plasma]].

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Looker PG.png|250px|thumb|Looker in Pokémon Generations]]
Looker appeared in four [[Pokémon Generations]] {{cat|Pokémon Generations episodes|episodes}}. He made his debut in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', where he and the [[International Police]] were on the trail of [[Giovanni]]. They soon tracked the [[Team Rocket]] Boss down to the [[Viridian Gym]], only to find that he had already left his position as [[Gym Leader]] after awarding the {{Badge|Earth}} to two Trainers: {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.

Looker reappeared in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. He met up with {{ga|Silver}} at [[Indigo Plateau]] to find out more information on the whereabouts of Giovanni, after he and the International Police had helped stop Team Rocket's takeover of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

He made another appearance in ''[[PG12|The Magma Stone]]'', in which he was shown at [[Stark Mountain]], having been trying to hunt down the remnants of [[Team Galactic]] led by [[Charon]] after Cyrus [[PG11|had disappeared]]. He used his {{p|Croagunk}} to battle the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} {{p|Heatran}} along with [[Buck]] and his {{p|Claydol}}. Despite their success in placating Heatran, Looker was not able to arrest Charon, as he managed to escape with two {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}s.

Looker appeared once more in ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]'', confronting the Pokémon thief Essentia. He chased her across [[Lumiose City]] after she committed a crime spree, before eventually unmasking her as [[Emma]], the orphan girl he invited to be his assistant.

[[File:Looker Adventures.png|thumb|120px|right|Looker in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Looker (Adventures)}}
Looker appears as a major supporting character in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Looker is a member of the [[International Police]]. He travels around the world, investigating the activities of various villainous teams around the world. To aid in his quest, he uses many gadgets known as "International Police Equipment", though they have a tendency to break at Looker's expense.

[[File:Looker PMDP.png|thumb|left|110px|Looker in Pocket Monsters DP]]

Looker debuted in [[PMDP39]], where he arrived at the scene of an investigation in his police car. After getting out to investigate, Looker was then disturbed by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s antics. He then approached {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and the gang but they fled the scene, causing him to follow in pursuit.

Tired of Looker's presence, Clefairy built a fake wall out of paper to hide, but it was quickly destroyed. The group then swam to the other side to avoid Looker, to no avail. Following the chase, Looker followed their footprints to a nearby house. Before he could knock the door, Clefairy burst out in an ice-cream disguise along with Red, {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} and got away in a car. Despite that, Looker was able to catch them and inform them that he had something to give and show them all this time.

Looker returned in [[PMDP52]], where he was at the beach with Red and his Pokémon. He noticed that Clefairy looked darker than before and all of the other Pokémon start to mimic him, clothes-wise. This caused Looker to chase Clefairy and Clefairy to chase the Pokémon who copied Looker. In [[PMDP55]], he goes on a solo mission with Clefairy joining him when [[Team Galactic]] steal a kid's food truck. After spotting the thieves, Looker and Clefairy give chase. When Clefairy put on his ninja costume temporarily, Looker fell to the floor in amusement. As the truck arrives at the garage stop, Looker was unable to get inside. However, after seeing the two Grunts running off with the food, Clefairy was able to stop them.

In [[PMDP60]], he is on the lookout for Team Galactic and met up with Red and his Pokémon at a casino. Unfortunately, after finding their hiding place, the alarms go off and Looker and Clefairy go to the location. [[Charon]] makes a break for it and Looker is right behind him. Both of them head for Team Galactic's helicopter and climb the ladder. While on the ladder, they notice Clefairy taking some loot. The helicopter then disappears into the distance.

[[File:Looker DPA.png|thumb|90px|Looker in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===

Looker and [[Koya]] are on the trail searching for [[Hareta]]'s father, [[Kaisei]]. Like in the games, he is also working for the [[International Police]]. In earlier chapters, he is given the name '''Hansom''', but this is later corrected.

Looker is able to identify Team Galactic Grunts in the crowd before they launched an attack on the stadium; once the Galactic incident is taken care of, he tries to take Kaisei into custody. Later, he along with several other International Police agents arrive at [[Stark Mountain]] and disguise themselves as rocks in order to arrest the members of [[Team Galactic]]. However, the villainous team escapes when an earthquake in Stark Mountain distracted Looker and the others. He stays behind to save Koya. After Hereta and his friends calm {{p|Heatran}} down by placing the [[Magma Stone]] back to where it belongs, Looker wonders if any members remained during the cave-in. Koya says no, allowing [[Mars]] to escape out of gratitude for her having saved his life earlier.

Looker and a squad International Police Officers raid [[Team Galactic HQ|Team Galactic's headquarters]] in order to continue the investigation for Team Galactic. Looker has Koya block the entrance in order to prevent anyone from going inside. However, he informs Koya that Charon was too powerful and his whole squad was defeated. Looker defends Koya when he was about to get attacked by an {{p|Onix}}. After witnessing Charon's strength, Looker tells Koya to retreat the area. Despite the order, Koya decides to stop Charon for good, which Looker allows. Much later, Looker arrived on Stark Mountain after the battle with the [[Pokémon of Myth]], awaiting Charon's arrival in order to arrest him. Following Charon's arrest, Looker notifies him that Team Galactic was disbanded on behalf of Cyrus's orders.

==Trivia==
* It is possible that Looker's looks, attire, and general persona may be derived from {{wp|Koichi Zenigata}}, a fictional detective in {{wp|Monkey Punch}}'s manga series, ''{{wp|Lupin the Third}}''. ''Lupin the Third'' itself was initially released in Japan around the time that many of the highly ranked staff members of Game Freak were young.
* The fact that Looker has a strange style of speech in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Kalos]] (regions based on Hokkaido and France respectively) but not in [[Unova]] and [[Alola]] (based on New York and Hawaii) suggests that, at least in the English version, Looker would speak the language of these regions (supposedly English) fluently.

Knight Brazil93: /* Trivia */

[[File:Lets Go Pikachu Eevee Red.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Red}}, a human in the [[Pokémon world]]]]
'''Humans''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|人|ひと}}''' ''human'') are a species that exist in the [[Pokémon world]].

The very relationship between humans and Pokémon is what the [[Pokémon|series]] mainly revolves around, featuring them in the vast majority of {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and other media.

==In the core series games==
Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Human organizations===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]
:''See also: {{cat|Organizations}}''
* [[International Police]]: A law enforcement organization.
* [[Pokémon Association]]: Handles legislation regarding Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon League]]: Regulates [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and oversees the regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}s.
* [[Villainous team]]s: Always human outside of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the villainous teams would threaten the region, and serve as antagonists to be defeated. They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===
* {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}: Raises and mates Pokémon for genetic improvements such as [[move]]s, [[individual values]], and [[Nature]]s.
* {{tc|Nurse}}: Heal up fainted or wounded Pokémon, more commonly found in [[Pokémon Center|Pokémon Centers]] throughout the regions.
* {{tc|Doctor}}:
* {{tc|Instructor}}/{{tc|Teacher}}: Teach {{tc|School Kid|School kids}}, {{tc|Schoolboy|boys}} and {{tc|Schoolgirl|girls}} in many different [[Pokémon Academy|Pokémon Academies]] all over the world. In the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, teachers are known as instructors.
* [[Fossil]] researcher:
* [[Pokémon Coordinator]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, by feeding them snacks used to enhance their appearances and teaching them moves designed for particular [[appeal]]s.
* [[Gym Leader]]: Challenges Trainers to test if they are skilled enough to take on the [[Pokémon League]] challenge. They hand out a [[Badge]] to Trainers who defeat them in battle.
* [[Pokémon Professor]]: Researches certain aspects of Pokémon and the [[Pokémon world]], such as [[Evolution]] and habitat. They also hand out [[starter Pokémon]] to aspiring Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* '''{{p|Claydol}}'s creators''': A civilization dating 20,000 years ago, they modeled clay dolls after something that descended from the sky and it was given life by a myserious ray of light.
* '''[[Draconid people]]''': A tribe of {{type|Dragon}}-users who resided in [[Meteor Falls]] on [[Hoenn]] and worshipped their Dragon Lord, {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* '''[[Tanoby Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': People estimated to be 1500 years old, it shows evidence of ancient [[Unown]] scripture, also seen in the [[Ruins of Alph]] and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
* '''[[Diamond Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Pearl Clan and resided in the [[Diamond Settlement]] on [[Hisui]], they worshipped "{{p|Dialga|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over time.
* '''[[Pearl Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Diamond Clan and resided in the [[Pearl Settlement]] on Hisui, they worshipped "{{p|Palkia|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over space.
* '''[[Galaxy Expedition Team]]''': A team formed to together research on Hisui and its Pokémon, it is heavily implied to be the connected to a team in present time, [[Team Galactic]].
* '''[[Ginkgo Guild]]''': A guild of merchants who resided in their cart in [[Jubilife Village]] on Hisui.
* '''[[Celestica people]]''': A tribe who used to reside in Sinjoh before moving to Hisui and starting to worship Dialga, Palkia and {{p|Giratina}}, along with {{p|Arceus}}, who they referred to as Almighty Sinnoh.

===Human-like beings===
Beings similar to humans can be found through different worlds in Ultra Space, but their true species is never confirmed in the games.
* '''[[Ultra Megalopolis]]'s residents''': An advanced civilization of blue-skinned beings who live in a lightless world. Among them are also the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].
* '''[[Ultra Ruin]]'s residents''': A civilization of beings who live in an alternate version of [[Alola]]'s [[Hau'oli City]]. Most of them abandoned the planet due to {{p|Guzzlord}}, with the exception of a man wearing a Guzzlord-like suit.
* '''[[Ultra Forest]]'s residents''': A civilization of elder-looking beings who live in a peaceful japanese-looking forest along with many {{p|Kartana}}. All known residents of this world are known as [[Ultra Forest Kartenvoy]]s.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

==In the anime==
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world, particularly the [[Pokémon anime]], are often depicted with [[anime physics|greatly exaggerated physical strength or durability]]. However, this is rarely seen outside the anime.

===Technology===
{{wp|Videophone}}s have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} since the [[original series]].

===Human organizations===
* [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]: Organizes and coordinates [[Pokémon Contest]]s and related events.

===Occupations===
* [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]: Specializes in identifying the compatibility between Pokémon and their Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Performer]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.
* [[Pokémon Stylist]]: Sketches and designs clothing and accessories for Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Watcher]]: Studies Pokémon, their habits, behaviors, and interactions.

===Ancient civilizations===
* [[Kingdom of the Vale]]: A kingdom which once lived in peace with both Pokémon and nature using the power of the [[Dragon Force]], before it fell to ruin due to war between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two princes]], which resulted in the Dragon Force going out of control. Known structures linked to this civilization include the [[Relic Castle]], built 2,500 years ago; and [[Dragonspiral Tower]], said to be the oldest structure in Unova.
* [[Michina Town]] Ruins: Thousands of years ago [[Damos]] was granted the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power, which made the area a prosperous agricultural heartland, after he rescued {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. Shrine ruins near [[Sinnoh]]'s Michina Town remains the only evidence of the ancient society.
* [[People of the Water]]: A race of people who left behind [[Samiya]], a sea temple activated by crystals.
* [[Pokélantis]]: A lost empire in [[Kanto]] that was destroyed by {{an|Ho-Oh}} when its [[King of Pokélantis|king]] wanted to abuse Ho-Oh's power.
* [[Pokémopolis]]: Another ancient civilization in Kanto. Had artifacts that contained [[Giant Pokémon]].
* In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves from a mask and staff. Neither the name of the people nor the civilization were given.

==Trivia==
* In the {{gal|Battle Tower}} from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], a female {{tc|Office Worker}} claims to be a robot in human appearance.

Humans usually live in harmony with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, in a world similar to that of the real world. Humans who own and use Pokémon for a number of different purposes are called [[Pokémon Trainer]]s and are found throughout the [[region]]s of the Pokémon world. Throughout the Pokémon series, humans have befriended Pokémon and used their help in tasks like battling, Pokémon Contests, protecting nature, and other vital roles. However, some [[villainous team]]s have used Pokémon as tools for selfishness and evil.

===Characteristics===
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] appear to be biologically very similar to humans in the real world. However, some humans appear to possess supernatural abilities beyond those of real-world humans, such as having {{tc|Psychic}} or [[Aura]] powers. According to {{DL|Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh Folk Tales|a folktale}}, Pokémon and people were once considered equal and even intermarried. Additionally, some [[Pokédex]] entries contain references to humans turning into Pokémon, most of which are {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon such as {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Yamask}}, and {{p|Phantump}} that are rumored or stated to be the reincarnated souls of deceased humans.

===Culture===
The human culture of the Pokémon world, much like the technology, is depicted as revolving around Pokémon. The care and research of Pokémon is shown to be of primary importance, Pokémon feature in many forms of entertainment and media, such as [[Movies in the Pokémon world|movies]] and [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazines]], and [[Pokémon battle]]s are an almost universal pastime. Facilities such as [[Pokémon Center]]s, [[Gym]]s, and even entire arenas and stadiums have been built to this end. So important are Pokémon to humans that they were revered or even outright worshiped in certain parts of the world, especially {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so named because of their prominent roles in myths and legends. However, this fascination with Pokémon is not always benevolent; various individuals and organizations with motives ranging from greed to megalomania have repeatedly tried to exploit Pokémon to further their own agendas, often at the expense of the well being of Pokémon, other people or even the very world and universe itself. In addition, war is not unknown to the Pokémon world, [[Lt. Surge]] having fought in at least one. [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|Firearms and other weapons]] exist, but are not used as often as Pokémon are. Ultimately, humans are equally as capable of good as they are of evil, and are able to see the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes.

;Environmentalism
Humans in the Pokémon world live, for the most part, in an extremely environmentally friendly society. Automobiles are apparently used at a minimum, with walking or riding Pokémon being the preferred [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|methods of transportation]], as demonstrated by the many traveling Trainers who have not been shown to use public transport. However, [[bicycle]]s are common. Many vehicles are seen with virtually no visible emissions such as smoke, suggesting that technology may have allowed for environmentally friendly transportation. Towns and cities are often deeply integrated with the surrounding environment, and often allow surrounding forests to encroach on the city borders.

The population of humans appears to be much lower than that of the real world, as seen by the immense stretches of forest and fields, untouched by human development. There are also many examples of human developments, both ancient and modern, that have been abandoned for one reason or another that have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon.

;Economy
Humans in the Pokémon world exchange [[money]] for goods and services, suggesting a {{wp|capitalist economy}}. There are very wealthy humans, some even being referred to as [[James's parents|aristocrats]], and Trainers can become wealthy by battling and winning [[prize money]]. However, full-time employment does not seem to be necessary for survival.

;History
The [[history of the Pokémon world]] is notably different from the real world, and seems to be dictated primarily between the interactions between humans and Pokémon. There does not seem to be a major world religion, but some believe in the ancient myths based around {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], so it is plausible that the population believes in ''Pokémon'' as their religion. Backing this up, most people are generally kind and respect Pokémon. Shinto shrines and crosses have both been seen. In [[Hearthome City]], the Foreign Building appears to be a Christian church. Also, in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{an|Brock}} made reference to the story of {{wp|Noah}} featured in the Old Testament of the Bible in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} had a Christian-like wedding in ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]''.

;Language
The existence of [[foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]], different {{p|Unown}} markings, and characters like the {{DL|foreign Pokédex entries|In Generation IV|Meister}}, [[Fantina]], and [[Looker]] point to the fact that there are other languages in the Pokémon world. The Kalos region is implied as a {{wp|bilingual}} region, with many signs being written in French such as menus, and people often drop occasional French words into sentences. The same can be said for the Alola Region, where Hawaiian words are occasionally used in sentences, and location names directly use Hawaiian words. This also applies to the Paldea region and Spanish words.

===Technology===
[[File:Dawn Johanna videophone.png|thumb|220px|[[Johanna]] and {{an|Dawn}} in a video call]]
Humans in the [[Pokémon world]] have achieved a level of technology which surpasses that of the real world. For instance, {{wp|teleportation}}, which was made possible through the use of the [[Infinity Energy]] developed by [[Devon Corporation]], is relatively common in the Pokémon world.

Much of the technology appears to be based around the relationship between humans and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; this technology includes the ubiquitous [[Poké Ball]] as well as data transfer systems designed to store and move [[caught Pokémon]] at their Trainer's convenience. Humans have also created [[artificial Pokémon]] and many [[item]]s designed to improve a Pokémon's performance in certain activities.

Many devices to allow people to communicate with each other, such as the [[Xtransceiver]] and the [[Holo Caster]], as well as media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication, such as [[television]] and [[radio]], have also been developed. Additionally, [[PC|personal computers]] are used to aid people in carrying out numerous tasks.

Apparently, this knack for technology dates back to ancient times as there are many examples of lost civilizations that utilized similar technology. It would seem strange that humans remain dominant over Pokémon, as it is mentioned in many occasions that some {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon (e.g. {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Slowking}}) appear to be far more intelligent and powerful than humans, however, this has not been explored much aside from [[Pokédex]] descriptions.

As time passed, humans started to use {{p|Rotom}} as a way of improving their technology, as seen with [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]] and [[Battle judge|Drone Rotom]].

===Human organizations===
[[File:HeartGold SoulSilver Team Rocket Grunt.png|thumb|220px|[[Team Rocket]] is a primary example of villainous organizations throughout the Pokémon world]]
:''See also: {{cat|Organizations}}''
* [[International Police]]: A law enforcement organization.
* [[Pokémon Association]]: Handles legislation regarding Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon League]]: Regulates [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and oversees the regional {{pkmn|League Conference}}s.
* [[Villainous team]]s: Always human outside of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], the villainous teams would threaten the region, and serve as antagonists to be defeated. They can range from mere crime syndicates, such as [[Team Rocket]] or [[Team Yell]], to groups with extreme ideological beliefs, such as [[Team Galactic]] or [[Team Plasma]].

===Occupations===
* {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}: Raises and mates Pokémon for genetic improvements such as [[move]]s, [[individual values]], and [[Nature]]s.

* [[Pokémon Professor]]: Researches certain aspects of Pokémon and the [[Pokémon world]], such as [[Evolution]] and habitat. They also hand out [[starter Pokémon]] to aspiring Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Trainer]]: Raises, travels with, and battles with Pokémon.

===Ancient civilizations===
Many references to ancient human civilizations have appeared in many forms of Pokémon related media. It is their existence and their interactions with Pokémon that eventually gave rise to many fables, myths and legends regarding different Pokémon, legendary or not. These ancient people didn't only leave behind stories, but ancient artifacts and even whole ruins which have since been reclaimed by nature and Pokémon. While many civilizations have been referenced, only a few have been explicitly named:
* '''[[Abyssal Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': Said to have created the burial monument for an ancient King, it features a different writing system to those seen in other ruin sites.
* '''{{p|Claydol}}'s creators''': A civilization dating 20,000 years ago, they modeled clay dolls after something that descended from the sky and it was given life by a myserious ray of light.
* '''[[Draconid people]]''': A tribe of {{type|Dragon}}-users who resided in [[Meteor Falls]] on [[Hoenn]] and worshipped their Dragon Lord, {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* '''[[Tanoby Ruins]]'s inhabitants''': People estimated to be 1500 years old, it shows evidence of ancient [[Unown]] scripture, also seen in the [[Ruins of Alph]] and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
* '''[[Diamond Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Pearl Clan and resided in the [[Diamond Settlement]] on [[Hisui]], they worshipped "{{p|Dialga|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over time.
* '''[[Pearl Clan]]''': A clan who had a rivalry with the Diamond Clan and resided in the [[Pearl Settlement]] on Hisui, they worshipped "{{p|Palkia|Almighty Sinnoh}}", who has power over space.
* '''[[Galaxy Expedition Team]]''': A team formed to together research on Hisui and its Pokémon, it is heavily implied to be the connected to a team in present time, [[Team Galactic]].
* '''[[Ginkgo Guild]]''': A guild of merchants who resided in their cart in [[Jubilife Village]] on Hisui.
* '''[[Celestica people]]''': A tribe who used to reside in Sinjoh before moving to Hisui and starting to worship Dialga, Palkia and {{p|Giratina}}, along with {{p|Arceus}}, who they referred to as Almighty Sinnoh.

===Human-like beings===
Beings similar to humans can be found through different worlds in Ultra Space, but their true species is never confirmed in the games.
* '''[[Ultra Megalopolis]]'s residents''': An advanced civilization of blue-skinned beings who live in a lightless world. Among them are also the [[Ultra Recon Squad]].
* '''[[Ultra Ruin]]'s residents''': A civilization of beings who live in an alternate version of [[Alola]]'s [[Hau'oli City]]. Most of them abandoned the planet due to {{p|Guzzlord}}, with the exception of a man wearing a Guzzlord-like suit.
* '''[[Ultra Forest]]'s residents''': A civilization of elder-looking beings who live in a peaceful japanese-looking forest along with many {{p|Kartana}}. All known residents of this world are known as [[Ultra Forest Kartenvoy]]s.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Ranger series===
A {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}} protects [[wild Pokémon]] and their habitat from natural disasters, {{pkmn|poacher}}s, and others that threaten to do them harm. Using the [[Capture Styler]], they harness the power of Pokémon in the wild to assist them in their missions.

The [[Ranger Union]] is an organization with the intention of fighting people who mistreat Pokémon and threaten peace.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] takes place in the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}, inhabited solely by Pokémon. However, in all of the games except for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|WiiWare titles]], the {{player}} is a human who has been turned into a Pokémon. In Gates to Infinity and Super Mystery Dungeon, humans are established to be thought not to exist by most Pokémon, existing only in children's stories.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], a [[Team Meanies|greedy Trainer]] [[Ninetales legend|grabbed a tail]] of a {{p|Ninetales}}. The resulting curse was taken by his {{mdc|Gardevoir|rb}}, and the Ninetales prophesied that the human would be reincarnated as a {{p|Gengar|Pokémon}} in the future during a time of natural disasters. The player is summoned to the Pokémon world by that Gardevoir to stop a falling star from destroying the world, losing their memory in the process. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and calling upon {{DL|List of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team characters|Rayquaza}} to destroy the meteor, the player leaves the Pokémon world, but decides to return when their partner pleads to Gardevoir. [[Decrepit Lab]] is also mentioned to have been built by humans.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player and {{mdc|Grovyle|tds}} were trying to solve the mystery of the paralyzed planet and traveled to the past. There, they were separated when {{mdc|Darkrai|tds}} attacked them, and the player was turned into a Pokémon. Having lost their memory, the player washes up on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}} and is found by their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to [[Temporal Tower]] and saving the world from paralysis, the player is erased from existence, but is brought back when [[Primal Dialga|Dialga]] feels the partner's sorrow.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], many humans have been summoned from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by {{mdc|Hydreigon|gti}}, the Voice of Life, to save the world from the [[Bittercold]]. However, all of them were defeated by {{mdc|Munna|gti}} and her gang and sent back to the human world. The player was then summoned, the only human left to save the Pokémon world. After meeting their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]] and defeating Bittercold, the player is sent back to the human world. Their partner later makes a wish at the [[Worldcore]] for the player to return and be allowed to travel between the human world and Pokémon world, and the player is brought back from the human world.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], [[Dark Matter]] once attempted to attack the [[Tree of Life]], which would have caused the planet to crash into the sun, but was defeated due to the efforts of a human and {{mdc|Mew|smd}}. However, they failed to completely destroy Dark Matter, so the player is brought from an alternate dimension to the Pokémon world by Mew to save the world when Dark Matter begins to rise again. Finding they have lost their memory, the player meets {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} and their [[Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)|partner]]. After traveling to the Tree of Life and defeating Dark Matter, the player realizes that at some point, they must have to return to the human world. However, the player's partner, a reincarnation of Mew, leaves the player instead, having fulfilled their role by helping to save the world. Various characters who make a cameo from previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games also reference other humans from those games.

==In the anime==
For comedic purposes, characters in the Pokémon world, particularly the [[Pokémon anime]], are often depicted with [[anime physics|greatly exaggerated physical strength or durability]]. However, this is rarely seen outside the anime.

===Technology===
{{wp|Videophone}}s have been featured in the {{pkmn|anime}} since the [[original series]].

===Human organizations===
* [[Pokémon Activities Committee]]: Organizes and coordinates [[Pokémon Contest]]s and related events.

===Occupations===
* [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]: Specializes in identifying the compatibility between Pokémon and their Trainers.
* [[Pokémon Performer]]: Raises Pokémon to compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.
* [[Pokémon Stylist]]: Sketches and designs clothing and accessories for Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Watcher]]: Studies Pokémon, their habits, behaviors, and interactions.

===Ancient civilizations===
* [[Kingdom of the Vale]]: A kingdom which once lived in peace with both Pokémon and nature using the power of the [[Dragon Force]], before it fell to ruin due to war between the [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|two princes]], which resulted in the Dragon Force going out of control. Known structures linked to this civilization include the [[Relic Castle]], built 2,500 years ago; and [[Dragonspiral Tower]], said to be the oldest structure in Unova.
* [[Michina Town]] Ruins: Thousands of years ago [[Damos]] was granted the [[Jewel of Life]]'s power, which made the area a prosperous agricultural heartland, after he rescued {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. Shrine ruins near [[Sinnoh]]'s Michina Town remains the only evidence of the ancient society.
* [[People of the Water]]: A race of people who left behind [[Samiya]], a sea temple activated by crystals.
* [[Pokélantis]]: A lost empire in [[Kanto]] that was destroyed by {{an|Ho-Oh}} when its [[King of Pokélantis|king]] wanted to abuse Ho-Oh's power.
* [[Pokémopolis]]: Another ancient civilization in Kanto. Had artifacts that contained [[Giant Pokémon]].
* In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves from a mask and staff. Neither the name of the people nor the civilization were given.

==Trivia==
* In the {{gal|Battle Tower}} from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], a female {{tc|Office Worker}} claims to be a robot in human appearance.
* It is implicit that humans from different regions of the world speak different languages or dialects. Something that confirms this are the [[Foreign Pokédex entry|foreign Pokédex entries]].

'''Professor Sada''' (Japanese: '''オーリム''' ''Olim'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]. Her counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] is [[Professor Turo]].

==In the core series games==
Ten years before the events of Pokémon Scarlet, Professor Sada was part of the team that explored the [[Paldea|Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up four [[Area Zero#Research Stations|Research Stations]] and the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. One day she ended up finding herself in [[Crystal Pool|an unfamiliar place]], where [[player|a child]] gave her [[Briar's Book|a white volume]], which would help her during her research. Sada was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning her corporate backing for her projects and allowing her to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, she was able to harness more of the [[Terastal energy|unstable energy]], despite concern from her funders, and moved the majority of her research back to the Zero Lab. Sada, fascinated with the idea of Pokémon from other ages, succeeded in developing a [[time machine]] that would allow her to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from either ancient points in the timeline, or from different timelines, by transporting [[Poké Ball]]s there and then bringing them back to her. These included {{p|Koraidon}}, a Pokémon extremely similar to {{p|Cyclizar}}. Additionally, a former associate of Sada had begun expecting her child.

However, Sada began to become obsessed with her research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in her pursuit of a paradise for her family. Not long after [[Arven]] was born, Arven's father abandoned Sada, driving her deeper into her work and ironically causing her to begin neglecting the very family she had sought to build her paradise for. Arven ended up growing up in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]] on his own, never seeing or connecting with Sada due to the latter's newfound devotion to the Tera Project. This estrangement was intensified by Sada's search for a more suitable assistant, leading to her creating an {{wp|artificial intelligence}} copy of herself using the Zero Lab's crystals to double productivity, as humanity does not possess the knowledge to develop a sophisticated AI in the time period the game takes place in, which is why the AI cannot leave Area Zero. Together, they were able to transport a second, more aggressive Koraidon to the present day, in hopes that the two Koraidon could survive and thrive in their new surroundings. At some point, Sada also developed the [[Poké Ball]] Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for her lab.

Sada was determined to maintain her dream of past and present Pokémon existing in harmony. Unfortunately, Sada's research was cut short when she attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Koraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Sada eventually passed away, leaving her AI to manage the remnants of her work in her place. However, the AI did not agree with accepting the ecological consequences of Sada's dream, and began impersonating her, reaching out to Sada's associates in hopes of finding a way to end the Tera Project once and for all.

===Path of Legends===
The AI first contacts the {{player}} when they enter the [[Naranja Academy]] for the first time, impersonating Sada and asking them to take care of the {{ga|Koraidon}} that was once under her possession. Throughout the game, the AI frequently contacts the player as Koraidon gradually regains the powers it once lost. Once Koraidon is fully powered, the AI asks the player to travel to Sada's laboratory at the Great Crater of Paldea.

===The Way Home===
As the player, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] traverse the area to reach Sada's laboratory, they discover the history of the two Koraidon and Sada's time machine in [[Area Zero journals|notebooks]] left behind in each research station.

At the [[Zero Lab]], the AI reveals its nature to the player and the fate that befell its creator. While Sada wished to let Pokémon of the past keep entering the modern day through the time machine, the AI refuses to let the [[Paldea]] region's ecosystem be ruined by these time-displaced Pokémon and asks for the player's help in shutting down the time machine. The AI is, however, programmed to protect the time machine, so the player is forced to battle it and the Paradox Pokémon it wields against the AI's will.

After the AI is defeated, the security system initiates the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|楽園防衛|らくえんぼうえい}}プログラム''' ''Paradise Defense Program''), which sends out the AI's Koraidon, and activates the Poké Ball Lock System, preventing the player from using any of their Pokémon due to lacking Sada's ID. Thus, the player uses their Koraidon, whose [[Koraidon's Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] has Sada's ID associated, to battle against the AI's Koraidon. Once the Paradise Protection Protocol has been defeated, the AI understands that the time machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present to reboot the system, so it chooses to travel to the ancient past its creator had hoped to see, bidding farewell to the player and their friends as it disappears into the time machine.

===The Indigo Disk===
If the player visits the [[Crystal Pool]] in [[Kitakami]] after catching {{p|Terapagos}} and obtaining [[Briar's Book]], a Professor Sada that hadn't built a time machine will appear before them from a cloud of mist, with Koraidon being happy to see her again. She theorizes that she has somehow wound up there through space and time, possibly even from an alternate timeline. Talking with Sada reveals that she is still in the process of trying to create the time machine and hasn't seen her son Arven for quite some time. Noticing the player's copy of Briar's Book, Sada becomes fascinated by the information it contains regarding the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and offers to trade it for the [[Scarlet Book]] she had as a child, which the player agrees to, before the mist disappears and transports Sada back to where she came from.

===Pokémon===
AI Sada's Pokémon are contained in [[Master Ball]]s.

====Second battle====
Koraidon is given the title '''the Guardian of Paradise''' during the battle, and its HP is displayed similarly to a [[Starmobile]] or [[Titan Pokémon]].

As a scripted battle, the enemy Koraidon will always use {{m|Taunt}} on the first turn to prevent the player from using {{m|Endure}} during the first three turns. If the player's Pokémon receives an otherwise lethal attack, it will always survive with 1 HP, even if it has not used Endure on that turn. Damage is never varied by a random factor during calculation, and [[critical hit]]s cannot occur during this battle. {{m|Flamethrower}} never causes a {{status|burn}}. Once the [[harsh sunlight]] instigated by {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}} ends (which is eight turns due to the enemy Koraidon's held item), the player's Pokémon will be forced to [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] (if it has not already) and use {{m|Tera Blast}} every turn until the enemy Koraidon is defeated.

Professor Sada was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as '''Professor's Research [Professor Sada]''' during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} set, before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, as both a Regular card and an {{TCG|ultra rare}}. Both versions feature artwork by [[kirisAki]]. The card allows players to discard their hand, then draw seven cards; an identical effect to other Professors' cards.

The {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the {{TCG|Ancient Roar}} expansion in Japan) saw the release of a second card featuring Professor Sada: '''{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Professor Sada's Vitality|170}}''', with artwork by [[Megumi Mizutani]]. This card allows players to attach a {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} from their discard pile to up to two of their Ancient Pokémon, as well as to draw three cards.

'''Professor Turo''' (Japanese: '''フトゥー''' ''Futu'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]]. His counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] is [[Professor Sada]].

==In the core series games==
Ten years before the events of Pokémon Violet, Professor Turo was part of the team that explored the [[Paldea|Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up [[four Area Zero#Research Stations|Research Stations]] and the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. One day he ended up finding himself in [[Crystal Pool|an unfamiliar place]], where [[player|a child]] gave him [[Briar's Book|a white volume]], which would help him during his research. Turo was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning him corporate backing for his projects and allowing him to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, he was able to harness more of the [[Terastal energy|unstable energy]], despite concern from his funders, and moved the majority of his research back to the Zero Lab. Turo, fascinated with the idea of Pokémon from other ages, succeeded in developing a [[time machine]] that would allow him to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from either future points in the timeline, or from different timelines, by transporting [[Poké Ball]]s there and then bringing them back to him. These included {{p|Miraidon}}, a Pokémon extremely similar to {{p|Cyclizar}}. Additionally, a former associate of Turo had begun expecting his child.

However, Turo began to become obsessed with his research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in his pursuit of a paradise for his family. Shortly after [[Arven]] was born, Arven's mother abandoned Turo, driving him deeper into his work and ironically causing him to begin neglecting the very people he had sought to build his paradise for. Arven ended up growing up in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]] on his own, never seeing or connecting with Turo due to the latter's newfound devotion to the Tera Project. This estrangement was intensified by Turo's search for a more suitable assistant, leading to him creating an {{wp|artificial intelligence}} copy of himself using the Zero Lab's crystals to double productivity, as humanity does not possess the knowledge to develop a sophisticated AI in the time period the game takes place in, which is why the AI cannot leave Area Zero. Together, they were able to transport a second, more aggressive Miraidon to the present day, in hopes that the two Miraidon could survive and thrive in their new surroundings. At some point, Turo also developed the Poké Ball Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for his lab.

Turo was determined to maintain his dream of present and future Pokémon existing in harmony. Unfortunately, Turo's research was cut short when he attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Miraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Turo eventually passed away, leaving his AI to manage the remnants of his work in his place. However, the AI did not agree with accepting the ecological consequences of Turo's dream, and began impersonating him, reaching out to Turo's associates in hopes of finding a way to end the Tera Project once and for all.

===Path of Legends===
The AI first contacts the {{player}} when they enter the [[Uva Academy]] for the first time, impersonating Turo and asking them to take care of the {{ga|Miraidon}} that was once under his possession. Throughout the game, the AI frequently contacts the player as Miraidon gradually regains the powers it once lost. Once Miraidon is fully powered, the AI asks the player to travel to Turo's laboratory in the Great Crater of Paldea.

===The Way Home===
After the player and [[Arven]] recruit [[Nemona]] and [[Penny]], the four traverse Area Zero to reach Turo's laboratory, and along the way they discover the history of the two Miraidon and Turo's time machine in [[Area Zero journals|notebooks]] left behind in each research station.

At the [[Zero Lab]], the AI reveals its nature to the player and the fate that befell its creator. While Turo wished to let Pokémon of the future keep entering the modern day through the time machine, the AI refuses to let the [[Paldea]] region's ecosystem be ruined by these time-displaced Pokémon and asks for the player's help in shutting down the time machine. The AI is, however, programmed to protect the time machine, so the player is forced to battle it and the Paradox Pokémon it wields against the AI's will.

After the AI is defeated, the security system initiates the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|楽園防衛|らくえんぼうえい}}プログラム''' ''Paradise Defense Program''), sends out the AI's Miraidon, and activates the Poké Ball Lock System, preventing the player from using any of their Pokémon due to lacking Turo's ID. Thus, the player uses their Miraidon, whose [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] has Turo's ID associated, to battle against the AI's Miraidon. Once the Paradise Protection Protocol has been defeated, the AI understands that the time machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present to reboot the system, so it chooses to travel to the distant future its creator had hoped to see, bidding farewell to the player and their friends as it disappears into the time machine.

===The Indigo Disk===
If the player visits the [[Crystal Pool]] in [[Kitakami]] after catching {{p|Terapagos}} and obtaining [[Briar's Book]], a Professor Turo that hadn't built a time machine will appear before them from a cloud of mist, with Miraidon being happy to see him again. He theorizes that he has somehow wound up there through space and time, possibly even from an alternate timeline. Talking with Turo reveals that he is still in the process of trying to create the time machine and hasn't seen his son Arven for quite some time. Noticing the player's copy of Briar's Book, Turo becomes fascinated by the information it contains regarding the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and offers to trade it for the [[Violet Book]] he had as a child, which the player agrees to, before the mist disappears and transports Turo back to where he came from.

===Pokémon===
AI Turo's Pokémon are contained in [[Master Ball]]s.

====Second battle====
Miraidon is given the title '''the Guardian of Paradise''' during the battle, and its HP is displayed similarly to a [[Starmobile]] or [[Titan Pokémon]].

As a scripted battle, the enemy Miraidon will always use {{m|Taunt}} on the first turn to prevent the player from using {{m|Endure}} during the first three turns. If the player's Pokémon receives an otherwise lethal attack, it will always survive with 1 HP, even if it has not used Endure on that turn. Damage is never varied by a random factor during calculation, and [[critical hit]]s cannot occur during this battle. Once the {{m|Electric Terrain}} instigated by {{a|Hadron Engine}} ends (which is eight turns due to the enemy Miraidon's held item), the player's Pokémon will be forced to [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] (if it has not already) and use {{m|Tera Blast}} every turn until the enemy Miraidon is defeated.

'''Professor Turo''' (Japanese: '''フトゥー''' ''Futu'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]]. His counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] is [[Professor Sada]].

====Second battle====
Miraidon is given the title '''the Guardian of Paradise''' during the battle, and its HP is displayed similarly to a [[Starmobile]] or [[Titan Pokémon]].

As a scripted battle, the enemy Miraidon will always use {{m|Taunt}} on the first turn to prevent the player from using {{m|Endure}} during the first three turns. If the player's Pokémon receives an otherwise lethal attack, it will always survive with 1 HP, even if it has not used Endure on that turn. Damage is never varied by a random factor during calculation, and [[critical hit]]s cannot occur during this battle. Once the {{m|Electric Terrain}} instigated by {{a|Hadron Engine}} ends (which is eight turns due to the enemy Miraidon's held item), the player's Pokémon will be forced to [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallize]] (if it has not already) and use {{m|Tera Blast}} every turn until the enemy Miraidon is defeated.

Professor Turo was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as '''Professor's Research [Professor Turo]''' during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} set, before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, as both a Regular card and an {{TCG|ultra rare}}. Both versions feature artwork by [[kirisAki]]. The card allows players to discard their hand, then draw seven cards; an identical effect to other Professors' cards.

The {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion (the {{TCG|Future Flash}} expansion in Japan) saw the release of a second card featuring Professor Turo: '''{{TCG ID|Paradox Rift|Professor Turo's Scenario|171}}''', with artwork by [[hncl]]. This card allows players to return one of their Pokémon in play to their hand, while discarding all cards attached to that Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Professor Turo was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601480836062117888 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
** He and [[Professor Sada]] are the first human characters designed by Turner for the [[core series]] games.<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1601664573374726144 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>
***However, the one who possesses this characteristic is his son [[Arven]]
* He and Professor Sada are the first Pokémon Professors from the core series:
** To not have a name derived from flora.
** To have been confirmed deceased, as well as the only Professors the player meet after their death.
*** They are also the first Trainers in the core series to be battled post-mortem, via an AI.
** To serve as the main antagonist, as well as the final main game opponent in a core series game.
* Unlike previous Trainer battles in which the opponent battles the player with more than six Pokémon, the player also uses a seventh Pokémon against AI Turo. This is also the case when battling his counterpart AI Sada.

'''Zweilous''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジヘッド''' ''Dihead'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Deino}} starting at [[level]] 50 and evolves into {{p|Hydreigon}} starting at level 64.

==Biology==
Zweilous is a dark-blue, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two heads and black fur covering its necks and back. Its front legs are muscular with two claws on each foot, but its rear legs are less defined and have two small, backward-pointing toes without claws. There are tufts of fur over its heads with rounded points at the top. It has two thin wings on its back, each ending in two points. The fur stops at the chest and opens up to fuchsia striped bands on the side of its legs. Though it appears to lack eyes, it is unknown if Zweilous is blind.

Zweilous has the vigor and energy to eat and bite constantly without stopping. Its heads dislike each other and are very hostile. Each head has their own likes and dislikes. As a result, the heads often turn eating into a competition, each head trying to claim leadership by eating more than the other. Because of this, Zweilous always eats far too much and is covered in scars, even without opponents to fight. This allows Zweilous to become stronger without any allies helping it. It is a nomadic Pokémon; it migrates once it has eaten all the prey in an area. However, Zweilous generally makes its habitat in caves.

===Evolution===
Zweilous evolves from {{p|Deino}} and evolves into {{p|Hydreigon}}.

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

===Major appearances===
Zweilous made its main series debut in ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]'', where two of them were owned by {{an|Iris}}'s friend [[Shannon]]. The older of the two eventually evolved into {{p|Hydreigon}}.

In ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', [[Ryuki]] first used a Zweilous during his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Kiawe}}. It easily defeated {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} after the latter got distracted by Ryuki's music. Zweilous was then used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside {{p|Druddigon}}, going up against [[Ash's Rowlet]] and {{AP|Meltan}}, but both were soon defeated.

===Minor appearances===
Zweilous debuted in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' during the ''World of Pokémon'' introduction.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Zweilous appeared in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''.

A Trainer's Zweilous appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

A Zweilous appeared in ''[[JN080|Trial on a Golden Scale!]]'' under the ownership of one of [[Nito]]’s henchmen.

==Trivia==
* Of all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that evolve by [[level]]ing up, Zweilous evolves into its final form, {{p|Hydreigon}}, starting at the highest level, evolving at level 64.
* According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Zweilous and its evolutionary family were originally intended to have aspects of {{wp|tank}}s. These Pokémon were scrapped until late in development, when they were revived and remade to be based on {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. The tank tread-like markings on Zweilous's underbelly are a remnant of this design.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* Zweilous shares its {{pkmn|category}} with Red- and Blue-Striped {{p|Basculin}}. They are all known as the Hostile Pokémon.
* Zweilous and Deino are the only Pokémon who have {{a|Hustle}} as their only [[Ability]].

===Origin===
Zweilous seems to be based on many-headed antagonistic dragons or serpents in various Asian and European mythologies, such as the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}, the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}, or the {{wp|Zmei (Russian)|Zmei Gorynych}}; the latter in particular {{wp|Dobrynya Nikitich#Dobrynya and the Dragon|is known to be deceptive}}, as well as being described as having green scales, which may inspire Zweilous's {{Shiny}} coloration. Due to its apparent blindness and only being found in caves, Zweilous may also be based on a {{wp|cave salamander}}. The tank tread-like markings on Zweilous's body appears to be a remnant of when its evolutionary line were originally designed after tanks.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Zweilous may be a combination of ''zwei'' (German for two) and ''jealous'' (as the heads always fight over food) or ''zealous'' (reflecting Zweilous's voracious appetite and intensely competitive nature).

Dihead may be a combination of ''di-'' (Greek prefix for two) or 二 ''ji'' (two) and ''head''.

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at [[level]] 43.

==Biology==
Golurk is a bipedal automaton {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a suit of armor. It is mainly teal in color with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. It has a small head compared to its body, and pale yellow eyes, one of which turns to its left at the bottom, unlike {{p|Golett}}'s eye, which turns right. There is a crack across the chest of the armor, which is patched diagonally with a brown seal resembling a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on each shoulder, and there are large bangles on its wrists and ankles. It has a Roman armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. There is an unproven theory that Golurk contains a {{wp|perpetual motion machine}} that creates a limitless amount of energy.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of flying by retracting its hands into its arms and its legs and feet into its body, then taking off like a rocket at Mach speeds. It is also capable of forming a cannon by pulling its legs into its body and standing on its hands, as seen in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], the {{pkmn|anime}}, and [[Pokémon Adventures]]. If the seal on its chest is removed, its energy runs wild, and its energy's color turns from yellow to red. This causes it to rage and fly around uncontrollably without being able to land itself. Removing the seal also causes Golurk to attack indiscriminately. A rampaging Golurk can turn a whole town into a mountain of rubble.

Golurk is said to have been invented by ancient people to serve as a laborer and protector of people and Pokémon. It also served as sentries on artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles, where it could fire energy beams. Golurk will faithfully follow its master's orders without question.

==Trivia==
* According to Game Freak, Golurk and its pre-evolved form were both created by [[James Turner]].<ref>GAME FREAK: [http://web.archive.org/web/20130115083652/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=204 「ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト」のつくりかた　4] (archive)</ref><ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry refers to Golurk as a male, despite Golurk being gender unknown.
* While Golurk has a 5% chance of holding the [[Light Clay]], it cannot learn {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Reflect}}.

===Origin===
Golurk and its pre-evolved form are based on {{wp|golem}}s.<ref name=ND205/> The crack and strap on its chest may be a reference to the golem in the Jewish story ''{{wp|Golem#The classic narrative: The Golem of Prague|The Golem of Prague}}''. The golem in this story was also believed to be able to summon the spirits of the dead, which was likely the reasoning for Golurk's {{t|Ghost}} type.

Considering its body structure and ability to transform into cannon and fly, Golurk may also be inspired by giant robots seen in {{wp|mecha anime and manga}}. Golurk also has elements resembling a {{wp|gladiator}}, such as a skirt and shoulder pads. Given its greenish color and the fact that [[Unova]] (the first region in which this Pokémon was seen by the general public) is based on the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}, Golurk may also be partially inspired by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. Being the soldiers of an ancient civilisation, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Terracotta Army}}, a collection of thousands of clay statues in China built circa 210 BCE to protect the first {{wp|Emperor of China}}, {{wp|Qin Shi Huang}}.

====Name origin====
Golurk may be a combination of ''golem'' and ''lurk'' (referring to its Ghost type).

Goloog may be a combination of ''golem'' and サイボーグ ''saibōgu'' (cyborg).

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Absol can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Absol''' using the [[Absolite]].

==Biology==
Absol is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily white body with some dark blue coloration. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. Between the dark fur, the curvature of the white fur on its head, and the positioning of its horn, Absol's face vaguely resembles a wu wei symbol. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a scythe-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and dewclaw-like spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. It walks with a pacing gait like that of a bear.

Absol lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} far from civilization, and it rarely ventures down from its alpine home. Using its horn, Absol is able to sense even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict when a disaster will occur and will try to warn people when one is approaching. Absol is also known to protect fields from natural disasters as well. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. The hatred for Absol was started years ago by superstitions surrounding about it. Despite this, others are interested in its ability to predict disaster. Absol has been referred to as a ''bringer of doom''. Absol can move as swiftly as the wind. Absol is said to have a lifespan of up to 100 years.

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

As Mega Absol, its fur is longer overall, and the increased energy coursing through its body makes the fur at the back of its mane stand on end so that it appears to have wings.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/</ref> The spikes on its heels and elbows grow larger, and the fur in these areas becomes longer as well. Its sickle-shaped horn widens, while an additional, smaller horn appears on the opposite side of its head. Its tail now has a more saw-like shape, and the oval marking on its forehead is now a rounded triangle.

Mega Absol emits a fearsome aura that has been known to kill fainthearted people from shock. It directs this aura at its opponents by beating its "wings", which are not capable of flight. However, Absol apparently detests assuming this form, as it normally dislikes fighting in the first place.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Goh Absol.png|thumb|left|250px|Absol in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Astrid Mega Absol.png|thumb|250px|Mega Absol in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Absol]]=====
In ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]'', [[Goh]] caught an Absol to save it from being hit by an eruption of boiling water on [[Mt. Chimney]]. It has since made further appearances in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

=====Other=====
Absol debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it showed up to take {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were initially led to believe, and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', {{OBP|Mollie|AG167}} used an Absol during the second round of the [[Gardenia Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. It battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

In ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', [[Drew]] revealed he {{pkmn2|caught}} and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. It was first used in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]]. In ''[[AG182|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' and ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', it and {{p|Flygon}} were used during a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] against {{an|May}}, who used {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}. In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded four Absol to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', [[Astrid]] used an Absol that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Absol against [[Alain]] and {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, but it was defeated. In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', it was used in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Hawlucha}}, which resulted in Absol winning. In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', it had a rematch with {{p|Hawlucha}} during the [[Lumiose Conference]], which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} used an Absol to battle [[Diantha]] and her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's {{m|Moonblast}}.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}-possessed {{an|Lusamine}} ordered her Absol to attack Ash and {{ashcl}}. {{an|Gladion}} stayed to battle Absol with his Pokémon before Nihilego was defeated.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] captured an Absol after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', the [[Pokédex]] image of an Absol was displayed.

Three Absol appeared in a picture in ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Absol's locations in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:
** In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Absol appears on {{rt|213|Sinnoh}}, which is close to [[Lake Valor]], which was drained by Team Galactic.
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to the [[Spear Pillar]], before Giratina is released by Team Galactic.
** In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers, and {{rt|13|Unova}}, 13 being known as an unlucky number. Indeed, {{game3|Black and White|two years later|s 2}}, the Giant Chasm is where Team Plasma makes its stand.
** In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Absol can be found in [[Tapu Village]], which was destroyed years earlier by {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.
** In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Absol can be found in the [[Altru Building]] and [[Altru Tower]], from which [[Team Dim Sun]] plans to take control of all Pokémon in the region.
* Mega Absol is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 565.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol is the only non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* Absol and {{p|Togepi}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Absol}}
Absol is most likely based on the {{wp|Bai Ze}} (白澤) of {{wp|Chinese mythology}}, whose name literally translates to "white marsh." It is generally described as a white beast, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. Considered to be an intelligent beast, Bai Ze is gifted with the ability to understand human speech and the knowledge on the forms and habits of 11,520 types of supernatural creatures in the world. In legend, Bai Ze shared its knowledge to the Yellow Emperor, which was subsequently compiled in a book called ''Bai Ze Tu''. Few of its supposed fragments survive today. In Japan, it is known as the ''hakutaku'' (白沢) and is said to resemble a cat or lion. In a related legend, a similar creature known as the ''kutabe'' predicted that a plague would sweep through the {{wp|Toyama Prefecture}} of Japan. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol's forehead.

Absol's head is modeled after a ''{{wp|Taijitu}}'' symbol. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. Its ruff resembling long human hair and a male lion's mane and the white fur on the top of its head loosely resembling the headpiece of an Egyptian sphinx also suggests this. Its scythe-shaped tail and horn suggest a resemblance to the Western personified depiction of {{wp|Death (personification)|Death}}, who is related to destiny and disaster. It may have also been inspired by the {{wp|black cat}} superstition.

Mega Absol's wings and elongated hair give it the appearance of an {{wp|angel}}, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above. It also resembles a {{wp|lamassu}}, an Assyrian creature with a human's head, wings, and sometimes with the body of a lion. The lamassu was a protective spirit, much how Absol attempts to warn people of danger.

Its feline appearance and the fact that it is usually seen in mountains, resembles in behavior felines such as the {{wp|snow leopard}} and the {{wp|cougar}}.

====Name origin====
Absol may be derived from ''absolute'' or ''{{wp|absolution}}'' (setting free from guilt), as well as 危ない ''abunai'' (dangerous) and possibly 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous). It may also be a combination of the Latin prefix ''ab-'' (away from) and ''sol'' (Latin for sun).

'''Absol''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アブソル''' ''Absol'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Absol can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Absol''' using the [[Absolite]].

==Biology==
Absol is a quadrupedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily white body with some dark blue coloration. It has a ruff around its neck and chest and a tuft on the top of its head adorned with a single blue-black oval. Between the dark fur, the curvature of the white fur on its head, and the positioning of its horn, Absol's face vaguely resembles a wu wei symbol. It has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a scythe-shaped horn on the side of its head. Its broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and dewclaw-like spikes protrude from the heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its front legs. It walks with a pacing gait like that of a bear.

Absol lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} far from civilization, and it rarely ventures down from its alpine home. Using its horn, Absol is able to sense even subtle changes in the sky and the land to predict when a disaster will occur and will try to warn people when one is approaching. Absol is also known to protect fields from natural disasters as well. This often has the unfortunate effect of Absol itself being blamed for the disaster, notably by the elderly. The hatred for Absol was started years ago by superstitions surrounding about it. Despite this, others are interested in its ability to predict disaster. Absol has been referred to as a ''bringer of doom''. Absol can move as swiftly as the wind. Absol is said to have a lifespan of up to 100 years.

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

As Mega Absol, its fur is longer overall, and the increased energy coursing through its body makes the fur at the back of its mane stand on end so that it appears to have wings.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/</ref> The spikes on its heels and elbows grow larger, and the fur in these areas becomes longer as well. Its sickle-shaped horn widens, while an additional, smaller horn appears on the opposite side of its head. Its tail now has a more saw-like shape, and the oval marking on its forehead is now a rounded triangle.

Mega Absol emits a fearsome aura that has been known to kill fainthearted people from shock. It directs this aura at its opponents by beating its "wings", which are not capable of flight. However, Absol apparently detests assuming this form, as it normally dislikes fighting in the first place.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Goh Absol.png|thumb|left|250px|Absol in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Astrid Mega Absol.png|thumb|250px|Mega Absol in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Absol]]=====
In ''[[JN064|Absol Absolved!]]'', [[Goh]] caught an Absol to save it from being hit by an eruption of boiling water on [[Mt. Chimney]]. It has since made further appearances in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

=====Other=====
Absol debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it showed up to take {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} back to [[Forina]]. However, Absol wasn't evil as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were initially led to believe, and it helped Jirachi once it returned to Forina.

Absol made its main series debut in ''[[AG107|Absol-ute Disaster]]''. The people of a town were blaming Absol for all of the bad things that were happening to their town during the past month. Ash, his friends, and {{OBP|Nicky|AG107}} went out to verify the accusations. They found out that Absol was actually warning the town about a flood.

In ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', {{OBP|Mollie|AG167}} used an Absol during the second round of the [[Gardenia Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. It battled [[Brock's Marshtomp]] and lost.

In ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', [[Drew]] revealed he {{pkmn2|caught}} and trained an Absol for the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. It was first used in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]].

In the end, Drew lost too many points, resulting in May advancing to the next round.

In the original timeline of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded four Absol to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Absol again to attack Arceus.

In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', [[Astrid]] used an Absol that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Absol against [[Alain]] and {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, but it was defeated. In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', it was used in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Hawlucha}}, which resulted in Absol winning. In ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', it had a rematch with {{p|Hawlucha}} during the [[Lumiose Conference]], which resulted in a loss for Absol.

In ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}} used an Absol to battle [[Diantha]] and her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}, but it was soon defeated by Gardevoir's {{m|Moonblast}}.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}-possessed {{an|Lusamine}} ordered her Absol to attack Ash and {{ashcl}}. {{an|Gladion}} stayed to battle Absol with his Pokémon before Nihilego was defeated.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]'', [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her henchmen]] captured an Absol after [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Melodi]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, and {{TRT}}'s {{MTR}} got stolen. Absol was eventually returned to its rightful owner after Ash, Team Rocket, and Melodi reunited with their Pokémon and some of J's minions were arrested.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

An Absol appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', the [[Pokédex]] image of an Absol was displayed.

==Trivia==
* Absol's locations in many games support its description of appearing where disasters occur:
** In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Absol appears on {{rt|213|Sinnoh}}, which is close to [[Lake Valor]], which was drained by Team Galactic.
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, Absol appears on [[Mt. Coronet]] in places that one can first access when heading to the [[Spear Pillar]], before Giratina is released by Team Galactic.
** In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Absol can be found at the [[Giant Chasm]], a place where disasters are said to befall Trainers, and {{rt|13|Unova}}, 13 being known as an unlucky number. Indeed, {{game3|Black and White|two years later|s 2}}, the Giant Chasm is where Team Plasma makes its stand.
** In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Absol can be found in [[Tapu Village]], which was destroyed years earlier by {{p|Tapu Bulu}}.
** In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Absol can be found in the [[Altru Building]] and [[Altru Tower]], from which [[Team Dim Sun]] plans to take control of all Pokémon in the region.
* Mega Absol is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 565.
* Absol was the last answer to the [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]].
* Absol is the only non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] featured on the box art for {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* Absol and {{p|Togepi}} are the only non-{{type|Flying}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Super Luck}} as their Ability.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Absol}}
Absol is most likely based on the {{wp|Bai Ze}} (白澤) of {{wp|Chinese mythology}}, whose name literally translates to "white marsh." It is generally described as a white beast, distinguished by having one or two horns on its head. Considered to be an intelligent beast, Bai Ze is gifted with the ability to understand human speech and the knowledge on the forms and habits of 11,520 types of supernatural creatures in the world. In legend, Bai Ze shared its knowledge to the Yellow Emperor, which was subsequently compiled in a book called ''Bai Ze Tu''. Few of its supposed fragments survive today. In Japan, it is known as the ''hakutaku'' (白沢) and is said to resemble a cat or lion. In a related legend, a similar creature known as the ''kutabe'' predicted that a plague would sweep through the {{wp|Toyama Prefecture}} of Japan. It is also sometimes said to have an extra eye on their head or back, which may be represented by the oval that appears on Absol's forehead.

Absol's head is modeled after a ''{{wp|Taijitu}}'' symbol. Absol's humanized face and feline appearance may also be a homage to the {{wp|sphinx}}. Its ruff resembling long human hair and a male lion's mane and the white fur on the top of its head loosely resembling the headpiece of an Egyptian sphinx also suggests this. Its scythe-shaped tail and horn suggest a resemblance to the Western personified depiction of {{wp|Death (personification)|Death}}, who is related to destiny and disaster. It may have also been inspired by the {{wp|black cat}} superstition.

Mega Absol's wings and elongated hair give it the appearance of an {{wp|angel}}, with its wings also being reminiscent of Greek portrayals of sphinxes and furthering the connection to sphinxes noted above. It also resembles a {{wp|lamassu}}, an Assyrian creature with a human's head, wings, and sometimes with the body of a lion. The lamassu was a protective spirit, much how Absol attempts to warn people of danger.

Its feline appearance and the fact that it is usually seen in mountains, resembles in behavior felines such as the {{wp|snow leopard}} and the {{wp|puma}}.

====Name origin====
Absol may be derived from ''absolute'' or ''{{wp|absolution}}'' (setting free from guilt), as well as 危ない ''abunai'' (dangerous) and possibly 物騒 ''bussō'' (dangerous). It may also be a combination of the Latin prefix ''ab-'' (away from) and ''sol'' (Latin for sun).

Haxorus (Pokémon)

2024-01-10T22:26:23Z

Knight Brazil93: /* Trivia */This Pokémon's body shape is much more similar to theropod dinosaurs than to dicynodonts. The explanation regarding Heterodontossaurus is enough to explain the blades he has for teeth.

'''Haxorus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オノノクス''' ''Ononokus'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fraxure}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Axew}}.

==Biology==
Haxorus is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dark, yellow-green covering on its back and most of the front. It has black skin covering its torso, tail tip, and thighs, as well as red talons and claws. Its large tusks, which resemble axe blades, are black and edged in red, and are located on its upper jaw on the side of its mouth. Its medium-sized eyes are red with black pupils. Ridged plate-like skin travels from its back to its head region. It has solid armor and the legs and tail have a dividing line pattern. Its arms are quite small, with three digits, two elliptical triceps and biceps, and circular elbows. Its hands are small and circular with small red claws. Its legs are formidable and strong with three-toed feet with a red talon on each toe.

Haxorus takes great pride and joy in its prized, unbreakable tusks, which are used on its enemies and can cut through steel beams and metal transmission towers with ease. Despite its austere appearance, it is generally friendly. However, Haxorus is known to be very territorial, and it will react violently should anyone touch its tusks. Haxorus is known to reside in caves and abandoned mines. Haxorus has a diet of eating the minerals in the dirt to keep its tusks sharp.

===Evolution===
Haxorus evolves from {{p|Fraxure}} and is the final form of {{p|Axew}}.

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

==Trivia==
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Haxorus was the first Pokémon to be designed for {{game|Black and White|s}}.<ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 1) (German)</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] further clarified this in an interview with ''Nintendo Dream'', stating that Haxorus was designed while {{game|Platinum}} was still in development, at a time when the development of Pokémon Black and White had barely even started, by a newly-hired female designer. Haxorus's pre-evolved forms were designed later, based on its design.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Haxorus is based on dinosaurs. The design came from the idea of a Pokémon that swings its axe-like fangs to attack instead of biting, a behavior reportedly stemming from actual dinosaurs.<ref name=ND204/> The specific dinosaur may be the {{wp|Heterodontosaurus}}, a dinosaur from the early Jurassic period, named for its unique teeth that protrude from its mouth, much like Haxorus. Haxorus's tusks in particular resemble {{wp|battle axe}} blades.

====Name origin====
Haxorus may be a combination of ''hack'' (to chop or cut down), ''axe'', ''-saurus'' (common suffix in names of dinosaurs and extinct reptiles derived from the Ancient Greek word for lizard), and possibly ''hazardous''.

Ononokus may be a combination of 斧 ''ono'' (axe), 戦く ''ononoku'' (to tremble), アックス ''akkusu'' (axe), and possibly ''-onychus'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for claw).

Fraxure (Pokémon)

Knight Brazil93: /* Origin */The tusks of dicynodonts were similar to those of elephants, and the body shape of Pokémon from this evolutionary family is much more reminiscent of dinosaurs.

'''Fraxure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オノンド''' ''Onondo'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Axew}} starting at [[level]] 38 and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==
Fraxure is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with long, gray tusks with red tips protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks are capable of breaking boulders. It has dark eyes with red irises, a gray face, and a cowl-like feature of green segments on its head, neck, back, and chest. Its arms have three red fingers, and its lower body is gray, with red speckles on the underbelly. It has red toes and a red tip on its tail.

Fraxure is very violent and territorial. Fights over turf often break out between it and another Fraxure. After a fight, it sharpens its tusks on river rocks, as they do not regenerate. It lives alongside rivers. Fraxure engages in violent confrontations with {{p|Bisharp}} for the locations of sharping stones. Fraxure uses its tusks only when necessary. The reason is once its tusks break, Fraxure will be unable to use it again. Fraxure uses its tusks to cut the prey in two different food portions, one for eating now and the second portion for later.

===Evolution===
Fraxure evolves from {{p|Axew}} and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}}.

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

{{Spritebox/Footer|611|Fraxure}}

==Trivia==
* Fraxure represents {{wp|December}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].

===Origin===
Fraxure, as well as its final form Haxorus, is based in {{wp|dinosaur}}s. Its elongated tusks seem based in {{wp|pickaxe}} blades. Its crest may be based on a {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurid}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}.

Fraxure's design was reverse-engineered from Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Fraxure may be a combination of ''fracture'' and ''axe''.

Onondo may be a combination of 斧 ''ono'' (axe) ''dragon'', and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Axew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キバゴ''' ''Kibago'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Fraxure}} starting at [[level]] 38, which evolves into {{p|Haxorus}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==
Axew is a bipedal, grayish-green {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pale, straight tusks protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks can regenerate if broken and will regrow if they fall out. This repeated regrowth strengthens and sharpens its tusks. Axew's tusks serve numerous purposes, such as making territorial gashes in trees and boulders, playing with each other, and crushing {{Berries}} for eating. In ancient times, people used Axew's discarded tusks as cooking knives.

The back of Axew's head is dark grayish-green with a tall, slightly curved horn. Large, dark grayish-green ovals surround its red eyes, and it has a short, rounded snout with large nostrils. A forest green collar marking encircles its neck. Axew's limbs and tail are short, with its forelimbs having three digits and its feet having two digits. As shown in [[BW027|the anime]], Axew is skilled at climbing walls and trees. Axew lives in nests made in the ground.

===Evolution===
Axew evolves into {{p|Fraxure}}, which evolves into {{p|Haxorus}}.

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

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Axew may look like it's brought its dinner with it, but those things in its mouth are actually tusks! It can mark its territory with them or crush berries for a tasty meal. All that wear and tear on them can sometimes break them off, but don't worry! If Axew loses a tusk, it'll grow back quickly and even stronger than before.''

'''PAL:''' ''No, that's not some delicious snack poking out either side of its mouth - those are tusks. Axew uses them to break through the hard outer shells of its favourite fruits and to carve territorial markings on trees. Occasionally, its tusks can break, but they just grow back stronger than before.''

==Trivia==
* Axew was first seen on [[Media:BW anime.png|concept art]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Woobat}}.
* Axew has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Axew, as well as its final form Haxorus, is based in {{wp|dinosaur}}s. Its crest may be based on the crests characteristic of {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurids}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}. Axew's tusks seem to be based on {{wp|Battle axe|axes}}.

Axew's design was reverse-engineered from its evolved form Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Axew may be a combination of ''axe'' and ''chew'' or ''hew'' (to chop a material with a tool).

Kibago may be a combination of 牙 ''kiba'' (fang or tusk), 顎 ''ago'' (jaw), and ''dragon''.

'''Fraxure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オノンド''' ''Onondo'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Axew}} starting at [[level]] 38 and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==
Fraxure is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with long, gray tusks with red tips protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks are capable of breaking boulders. It has dark eyes with red irises, a gray face, and a cowl-like feature of green segments on its head, neck, back, and chest. Its arms have three red fingers, and its lower body is gray, with red speckles on the underbelly. It has red toes and a red tip on its tail.

Fraxure is very violent and territorial. Fights over turf often break out between it and another Fraxure. After a fight, it sharpens its tusks on river rocks, as they do not regenerate. It lives alongside rivers. Fraxure engages in violent confrontations with {{p|Bisharp}} for the locations of sharping stones. Fraxure uses its tusks only when necessary. The reason is once its tusks break, Fraxure will be unable to use it again. Fraxure uses its tusks to cut the prey in two different food portions, one for eating now and the second portion for later.

===Evolution===
Fraxure evolves from {{p|Axew}} and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}}.

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

{{Spritebox/Footer|611|Fraxure}}

==Trivia==
* Fraxure represents {{wp|December}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].

===Origin===
Fraxure's tusks may draw inspiration from {{wp|Dicynodont}}s, tusked {{wp|synapsid}}s with thick hides from the {{wp|Permian}} and {{wp|Triassic}} eras – most likely ''{{wp|Placerias}}'' – though its elongated tusks seem more like {{wp|pickaxe}} blades. Its crest may be based on a {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurid}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}.

Fraxure's design was reverse-engineered from Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Fraxure may be a combination of ''fracture'' and ''axe''.

Onondo may be a combination of 斧 ''ono'' (axe) ''dragon'', and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Gothitelle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチルゼル''' ''Gothiruselle'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 41. It is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gothitelle legs.png|thumb|left|250px|Gothitelle's legs seen from below]]
Gothitelle is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily black body. Its head is teardrop-shaped, with a white, bow-like fixture attached to the base of its tip. The black skin on Gothitelle's head opens onto its purple face with a zigzag pattern resembling bangs. Gothitelle has large, heavy-lidded eyes with blue irises and white pupils, as well as a small mouth with red lips. Four flat, black disks flank each side of its head. Gothitelle's body is split into four progressively-larger tiers, with its head and arms being attached to the smallest, uppermost tier and with a pair of stubby pink feet being under them. Its arms are thin, ending in small, purple hands with white disks at the wrists. Each tier of Gothitelle's body has a white, bow-like fixture on its front.

Gothitelle's immense psychic power can distort the space around it, showing visions of distant stars and [[BW021|past events]], but it dislikes conflict. It can predict the future from the placement and movement of stars and weeps when it discovers the lifespan of its Trainer. It has a detached nature due to seeing how all life will eventually end. A criminal that a Gothitelle had shown his fate to went missing that same day and was never seen again. The visions Gothitelle shares are said to be apparently ethereal and beautiful.

===Evolution===
Gothitelle evolves from {{p|Gothorita}} and is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

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

====Major appearances====
Gothitelle debuted in ''[[BW021|The Lost World of Gothitelle!]]'', where it prevented {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from crossing the [[Skyarrow Bridge]]. It then created an illusion of how its life used to be before the bridge was built, which was serving those who rode the ferry that traveled to [[Castelia City]].

In ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]'', a Gothitelle and its pre-evolved forms were friends with an {{p|Umbreon}} living with an {{p|Eevee}} and the rest of the [[Eeveelution]]s.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', a Gothitelle was seen performing in a [[Pokémon Musical]] show. It used {{m|Telekinesis}} to pull {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Oshawott}} onstage and helped dress them so they can perform as well. Afterwards, Gothitelle used Ash as a dance partner.

==Trivia==
* Gothitelle can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Reuniclus}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon that are the final stage of a three-stage evolutionary line with first evolution at level 32 and second at level 41. Gothitelle is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Reuniclus is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels, and have base stat totals of 490.

===Origin===
Gothitelle appears to be based on a stylized depiction of a woman wearing {{wp|Gothic fashion|Gothic}}-style clothing and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. Goth styles itself are often borrowed from the {{wp|punk fashion}} and can also draw influence from {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian}} and {{wp|1550–1600 in European fashion|Elizabethan fashion}} periods of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.

It may also be based on the philosophical concept of the {{wp|astral body}}. Its ability to predict the future using stars may allude to {{wp|fortune-telling|fortune teller}}s or {{wp|Romani people}}.

====Name origin====
Gothitelle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss''), ''foretell'', or ''stelle'' (Italian for ''stars'').

Gothiruselle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss'').

The '''Unova''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Isshu {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], while a location in Unova called [[Blueberry Academy]] was introduced as the setting of [[The Indigo Disk]]. It was the fifth [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Unova is stated to be far away from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]; the Pokémon which inhabit Unova are diverse and different from those of other regions. According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=242 Hidden Power of Masuda: Director's Columns]</ref><ref>"This new region was inspired by New York's Manhattan. I visited New York when Diamond and Pearl launched and I had the chance to wander around the town. When I walked through the streets, I saw a lot of different people having festivals and community events—Italian people, French people—they're coming from different countries and coexisting in one community", [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] Issue 65 page 30.</ref> Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes. The region also has several cultural references to the country where this state is located, the {{wp|United States of America}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Unova's Japanese name, イッシュ ''Isshu'', is derived from the Japanese word for "one variety", '''一種''' ''isshu'', or '''１種類''' ''isshurui''. According to the game director Masuda, this is to express that although the region is diverse in species and race, they are all the same as living creatures when seen from a distance.<ref name=Iwata>Iwata Asks - Pokémon Black and Pokémon White Versions - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon-black-white/0/1/ English], [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

The region's English name likely comes from the Spanish word ''uno'' or the Latin word ''unum'' (one), and the Latin word ''nova'' (new). It may also be derived from ''united'', considering its basis on the largest city in the United States. It also sounds like parts of the phrase '''Un'''ited States '''of''' '''A'''merica.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova}}
Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==
[[File:Unova world map.png|250px|thumb|Location of Unova in the [[Pokémon world]], according to the anime]]
===Mythological events===
In mythology, Unova was created by uniting the warring peoples of the land by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]]. They used a single dragon sometime more than 2500 years ago. The brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Their arguments split the single dragon into {{p|Reshiram}}, who sided with the older brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother. Since they were both born from the same dragon neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the Unova region with their {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|lightning}} powers before disappearing.

Sometime after the original dragon had been split into Reshiram and Zekrom, one of the two brothers and their respective dragon created the Relic Castle, which was the seat of a new civilization for people and Pokémon.

Also at an unknown point in the distant past, a civil war broke out in Unova that caused an intense forest fire. The many Pokémon that lived in the forest became trapped, though luckily the [[Swords of Justice]] came in to save them—{{p|Terrakion}} moved away boulders that blocked their escape route, {{p|Virizion}} used its nimble movements to protect Pokémon from looming flames, and {{p|Cobalion}} led the scared Pokémon out of the forest. These Pokémon would later become responsible for ending the war before disappearing into myths.

According to the [[Lacunosa Town]] legend, a long time ago, a large meteor came from the sky containing a {{p|Kyurem|terrifying monster}}. It was said that at night, the monster would appear in the town along with the cold winds and take away [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to eat them. The residents of the town surrounded Lacunosa Town in a wall to keep the monster out, and a rule was then set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving at night and encouraged people to stay in their homes. While residents no longer believe this old story, they still stay inside of their houses at night to this day. The legendary monster, Kyurem, was really a remaining third Pokémon created when the primordial dragon had split into two.

A legend says {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} once raced across Unova, tearing up the lands with their respective weather-controlling powers, not caring about settlements and creatures in their path. {{p|Landorus}}, seeing the massive destruction the pair had brought to the region and its inhabitants, is said to have punished them so that they would never repeat their actions.

{{p|Meloetta}} once entertained the people of Unova with song and dance, but when sorrow filled the hearts of people, Meloetta lost this melody and its red shoes.

===Contemporary history===
{{spoilers}}
====Pokémon Black and White====
In contemporary history, a present containing three [[starter Pokémon]]—one each for [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Hilda}}/{{ga|Hilbert}}—was sent to Hilda/Hilbert's house in [[Nuvema Town]] by [[Professor Juniper]] on their mothers' request, so that they could each start their Pokémon journeys through the Unova region, challenging each of Unova's eight Gyms in order to collect Badges and eventually reach the {{un|Pokémon League}}. During their travels, Hilda/Hilbert met and battled with the members of [[Team Plasma]] many times, including their king, [[N]], and encountered the mysterious [[Shadow Triad]], with events coming to a head at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where N managed to capture one of the members of the [[Tao trio]] and invited Hilda/Hilbert to face him after they had beaten the Pokémon League and resurrected the complementary dragon from the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. On retrieving the appropriate stone from [[Nacrene Museum]] and defeating the [[Elite Four]], Hilda/Hilbert reached the Champion's room, where N was waiting for them, having just defeated [[Alder|the Champion]]. N then summoned [[N's Castle|his castle]], which rose out of the earth surrounding the Pokémon League; Team Plasma had been working tirelessly for years prior to build the fortress around the Pokémon League right under their nose, overworking the Pokémon gifted to them by Trainers they had emotionally manipulated into doing so for this purpose. N then invites Hilda/Hilbert into the castle to battle him in order to test the strength of their convictions.

On entering the castle, Hilda/Hilbert are ambushed by all of the [[Seven Sages]] (except [[Ghetsis]]), who planned to defeat them so that their king's reign would be unopposed. Fortunately, Bianca arrived, bringing all the [[Gym Leader]]s of the region that she was able find with her (which includes all of them except for [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], whom Bianca claimed she could not contact in time). The Gym Leaders then opted to engage the Seven Sages in battle on Hilda/Hilbert's behalf, so that they were able to ascend through the castle and defeat N. Eventually, Hilda/Hilbert reached Team Plasma's King in the throne room, where N summoned his member of the Tao trio, who subsequently came crashing through the farthest wall of the room. The presence of Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} then activated the player's dormant stone, which emerged from the [[Bag]] and transformed into its counterpart, Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|B}}. The latter then allowed Hilda/Hilbert to attempt to capture them and after doing so, Hilda/Hilbert proceeded to defeat N in the ensuing battle.

N's loss to his opponent caused Ghetsis to storm into the room in rage, insisting that N was a complete failure and a freak and revealing his true motivation for Team Plasma. By separating all other Pokémon from their Trainers, while Team Plasma retained their own, he, as leader of the group (acting through N), would have been left in a position of power from which he could have dominated the world. However, his delusions of grandeur were cut short by his defeat in a final Pokémon battle at the hands of Hilda/Hilbert followed by his arrest.

N, however, was not arrested and subsequently flew from the land on Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} in order to do some soul searching in light of Ghetsis's revelations. He was not seen again in Unova, but there is a rumor that someone with a strong resemblance to N was spotted somewhere in a far-off region. Hilda/Hilbert then continued the rest of their journey, managing to also cover eastern Unova, (becoming the first person to successfully operate the [[Poké Transfer]]), locate and aid in the arrest of the remaining Seven Sages, and eventually return to the League to defeat the Pokémon League Champion Alder themselves. Afterwards, after some time reflecting, Bianca decides to become an assistant to Professor Juniper to aid in her research, and Hilda/Hilbert leaves Unova to search for N.

====Between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
During the two years between the events of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, construction of [[Unova Route 4|the road]] between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]] through the [[desert]] was either completed and a small settlement was established on this road{{sup/5|B2}}, or abandoned after ancient ruins were discovered in the sand and excavated{{sup/5|W2}}. The [[gate]] between {{rt|4|Unova}} and Nimbasa City was expanded into [[Join Avenue]]. The construction in the south of [[Driftveil City]] was completed, with the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] taking the place of the [[Cold Storage]]. The [[Entralink]]'s moat was drained or dried up, and a different type of Entree now grows in the center. A section was taken out of a [[Reversal Mountain|mountain]] to the east, with [[Lentimas Town]] built in the new space.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]].

Furthermore, {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} has collapsed. As a result, {{rt|10|Unova}} is closed and replaced by another path, {{rt|22|Unova}} and {{rt|23|Unova}}. Also, the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]] has collapsed.

Additionally, the coastline of Unova has changed between the games.

As revealed via [[Memory Link]], Ghetsis reforms Team Plasma during this period.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives their first Pokémon from Bianca in their hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the [[DNA Splicers]] from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving them. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]]{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]].

After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads them to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

====Between Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
[[Blueberry Academy]] was established by [[Cyrano]], located underwater off the coast of Unova, and formed close ties with the historic [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in [[Paldea]] by becoming its sister school.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
Two students of Blueberry Academy, [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]], participate in a class trip to their homeland of [[Kitakami]], where they meet {{ga|Florian}}/{{ga|Juliana}}, a student from Paldea's Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}. Continuously losing to Florian/Juliana and having the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he's long idolized, {{ga|Ogerpon}}, choose them over him, leaves Kieran with an obsessive compulsion to defeat them as he and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy. Pushing himself to grow stronger in order to defeat his [[rival]], Kieran conquers the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} and becomes Blueberry Academy's new {{pkmn|Champion}}, at the cost of making the atmosphere in the school's [[League Club Room|League Club]] unpleasantly toxic for everyone else. Meanwhile, [[Briar]], one of the school's teachers, installs a giant sphere called the Terarium Core in the school's undersea [[Terarium]] dome, enabling the students and staff members to start utilizing the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

Florian/Juliana is eventually invited to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. [[Drayton]], the school's former Champion and a member of its [[Elite Four]], invites the new exchange student to participate in the BB League, hoping to restore the genuine love Kieran once had for battling. After clearing the four Elite Trials and defeating the Elite Four, Florian/Juliana is granted the right to challenge Kieran. They emerge victorious, becoming the new BB League Champion. Although Kieran initially retains his obsession to defeat his rival, a subsequent adventure in Paldea's [[Area Zero]] makes him see the error of his ways and become friends with Florian/Juliana again.

==Geography==
[[File:Unova PG.png|thumb|250px|Unova in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges: the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon League since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.

Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.

===Climate===
{{main|Season (game mechanic)}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.

Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

===Demographics===
The Unova region has a total population of 949, including all the towns, cities and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation V]], it was the largest region by population and is currently the third largest region by population.

=====Bridges and tunnels=====
[[File:Driftveil Drawbridge anime.png|thumb|Driftveil Drawbridge, as seen in the anime]]
Given that Unova is spread across three strips of land divided by two rivers, a number of bridges and an underwater tunnel exist to allow free movement across the region. Each of them has its own characteristic features and are even popular tourist attractions; they are:
* [[Skyarrow Bridge]]
* [[Driftveil Drawbridge]]
* [[Tubeline Bridge]]
* [[Village Bridge]]
* [[Marvelous Bridge]]
* [[Marine Tube]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}

====Routes====
Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.

In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.

==BB League==
{{main|Blueberry Academy#BB League|Blueberry Academy → BB League}}
[[Blueberry Academy]] has its own unofficial [[Pokémon League]], referred to as the BB League, which is used as a ranking system to determine the strongest Trainer in the school. Unlike the [[Unova League]], this League has no [[Gym Leader]]s. Instead, a Trainer of a high-enough rank may take on an [[Elite Four]] member's Elite Trial, then the Elite Four member themselves, and, if victorious against all four of them, the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Trivia==
* Unova is the first [[core series]] [[region]] to be based on a real-world region outside of Japan.
** Unova is also the region that has the most settlements, with 21.
* Unova is the only region without:
** an actual or former {{type|Rock}} [[Gym]] in the generations that introduced Gyms.
** a new {{type|Psychic}} specialist, as [[Caitlin]] was introduced in [[Generation IV]], although she could not be battled until Generation V.
** a regional [[Pokédex]] that starts with a {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (although the Grass-type starter Pokémon is still entry #001, its Pokédex starts with {{p|Victini}} as #000).
** the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]] of {{p|Pikachu}} and/or {{p|Magikarp}} in its regional Pokédex.
** an [[origin mark]].
* Unova is the only main series region which does not use a romanization of the Japanese name as its English name, and the only region whose name is different among all translations of the games.
** According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Unova's Japanese name was translated into different languages of the games so that players who do not speak Japanese can still understand the meaning behind the name.<ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak2.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 2) (German)</ref>
* Except [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.
* In some pre-release material in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, Unova was referred to as '''Alleos'''.
* Unova is tied with [[Galar]] with the most [[Gym Leader]]s in a single region, with 14 in total.
* Unova has the most [[Gym]]s in cities, with all eleven of them. [[Sinnoh]] and [[Kalos]] both also have all of their Gyms in cities, but only have eight Gyms each.
* Unova is the only region in which multiple gyms specialize in the same type: the [[Striaton Gym]] (which also specializes in {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}) and the [[Humilau Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Water}} types, and the [[Nacrene Gym]] and [[Aspertia Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Normal}} types.
* Unova is the only region to have two [[Victory Road]]s.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Unova is "Unovan", as mentioned in {{p|Terrakion}}'s [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] Pokédex entry.
* The northwestern and northeastern portions of Unova are, in-game, incongruous with one another; the western side is larger in the north-south direction than the eastern side.
* Junichi Masuda chose New York as the basis for the Unova region with Pokémon musical concerts in mind; he had his music arranged and performed in Pokémon-themed concerts held in {{wp|Kantō region|Kantō}}, {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}}, {{wp|Kyushu}}, and {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (the real-life basis for the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh respectively), and he had wanted to hold a similar concert in New York due to the many musical theaters found in Manhattan. Ultimately, the plan never came through due to complications, such as having to fly all the musicians and instruments to the United States.<ref name=Iwata/>

The '''Unova''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Isshu {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], while a location in Unova called [[Blueberry Academy]] was introduced as the setting of [[The Indigo Disk]]. It was the fifth [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Unova is stated to be far away from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]; the Pokémon which inhabit Unova are diverse and different from those of other regions. According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=242 Hidden Power of Masuda: Director's Columns]</ref><ref>"This new region was inspired by New York's Manhattan. I visited New York when Diamond and Pearl launched and I had the chance to wander around the town. When I walked through the streets, I saw a lot of different people having festivals and community events—Italian people, French people—they're coming from different countries and coexisting in one community", [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] Issue 65 page 30.</ref> Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes. The region also has several cultural references to the country where this state is located, the {{wp|United States of America}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Unova's Japanese name, イッシュ ''Isshu'', is derived from the Japanese word for "one variety", '''一種''' ''isshu'', or '''１種類''' ''isshurui''. According to the game director Masuda, this is to express that although the region is diverse in species and race, they are all the same as living creatures when seen from a distance.<ref name=Iwata>Iwata Asks - Pokémon Black and Pokémon White Versions - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon-black-white/0/1/ English], [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

The region's English name likely comes from the Spanish word ''uno'' or the Latin word ''unum'' (one), and the Latin word ''nova'' (new). It may also be derived from ''united'', considering its basis on the largest city in the United States. It also sounds like parts of the phrase '''Un'''ited States '''of''' '''A'''merica.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova}}
Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==
[[File:Unova world map.png|250px|thumb|Location of Unova in the [[Pokémon world]], according to the anime]]
===Mythological events===
In mythology, Unova was created by uniting the warring peoples of the land by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]]. They used a single dragon sometime more than 2500 years ago. The brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Their arguments split the single dragon into {{p|Reshiram}}, who sided with the older brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother. Since they were both born from the same dragon neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the Unova region with their {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|lightning}} powers before disappearing.

Sometime after the original dragon had been split into Reshiram and Zekrom, one of the two brothers and their respective dragon created the Relic Castle, which was the seat of a new civilization for people and Pokémon.

Also at an unknown point in the distant past, a civil war broke out in Unova that caused an intense forest fire. The many Pokémon that lived in the forest became trapped, though luckily the [[Swords of Justice]] came in to save them—{{p|Terrakion}} moved away boulders that blocked their escape route, {{p|Virizion}} used its nimble movements to protect Pokémon from looming flames, and {{p|Cobalion}} led the scared Pokémon out of the forest. These Pokémon would later become responsible for ending the war before disappearing into myths.

According to the [[Lacunosa Town]] legend, a long time ago, a large meteor came from the sky containing a {{p|Kyurem|terrifying monster}}. It was said that at night, the monster would appear in the town along with the cold winds and take away [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to eat them. The residents of the town surrounded Lacunosa Town in a wall to keep the monster out, and a rule was then set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving at night and encouraged people to stay in their homes. While residents no longer believe this old story, they still stay inside of their houses at night to this day. The legendary monster, Kyurem, was really a remaining third Pokémon created when the primordial dragon had split into two.

A legend says {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} once raced across Unova, tearing up the lands with their respective weather-controlling powers, not caring about settlements and creatures in their path. {{p|Landorus}}, seeing the massive destruction the pair had brought to the region and its inhabitants, is said to have punished them so that they would never repeat their actions.

{{p|Meloetta}} once entertained the people of Unova with song and dance, but when sorrow filled the hearts of people, Meloetta lost this melody and its red shoes.

===Dated history===
* 3,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the {{cat|Relic items}} were created.
* 2,500 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the [[Relic Castle]] was flourishing and the {{p|Darmanitan}} in front of it went to {{status|sleep}}.
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, an ultra-rich family purchased and named the [[Liberty Garden]].
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, [[Village Bridge]] was constructed after the local river burst its banks, flooding the settlement that stood there previously.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the warehouses of [[Nacrene City]] were constructed.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Klink}} started appearing in [[Chargestone Cave]].
* 50 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Elgyem}} was seen for the first time when it appeared from far in the [[desert]].

===Contemporary history===
{{spoilers}}
====Pokémon Black and White====
In contemporary history, a present containing three [[starter Pokémon]]—one each for [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Hilda}}/{{ga|Hilbert}}—was sent to Hilda/Hilbert's house in [[Nuvema Town]] by [[Professor Juniper]] on their mothers' request, so that they could each start their Pokémon journeys through the Unova region, challenging each of Unova's eight Gyms in order to collect Badges and eventually reach the {{un|Pokémon League}}. During their travels, Hilda/Hilbert met and battled with the members of [[Team Plasma]] many times, including their king, [[N]], and encountered the mysterious [[Shadow Triad]], with events coming to a head at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where N managed to capture one of the members of the [[Tao trio]] and invited Hilda/Hilbert to face him after they had beaten the Pokémon League and resurrected the complementary dragon from the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. On retrieving the appropriate stone from [[Nacrene Museum]] and defeating the [[Elite Four]], Hilda/Hilbert reached the Champion's room, where N was waiting for them, having just defeated [[Alder|the Champion]]. N then summoned [[N's Castle|his castle]], which rose out of the earth surrounding the Pokémon League; Team Plasma had been working tirelessly for years prior to build the fortress around the Pokémon League right under their nose, overworking the Pokémon gifted to them by Trainers they had emotionally manipulated into doing so for this purpose. N then invites Hilda/Hilbert into the castle to battle him in order to test the strength of their convictions.

On entering the castle, Hilda/Hilbert are ambushed by all of the [[Seven Sages]] (except [[Ghetsis]]), who planned to defeat them so that their king's reign would be unopposed. Fortunately, Bianca arrived, bringing all the [[Gym Leader]]s of the region that she was able find with her (which includes all of them except for [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], whom Bianca claimed she could not contact in time). The Gym Leaders then opted to engage the Seven Sages in battle on Hilda/Hilbert's behalf, so that they were able to ascend through the castle and defeat N. Eventually, Hilda/Hilbert reached Team Plasma's King in the throne room, where N summoned his member of the Tao trio, who subsequently came crashing through the farthest wall of the room. The presence of Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} then activated the player's dormant stone, which emerged from the [[Bag]] and transformed into its counterpart, Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|B}}. The latter then allowed Hilda/Hilbert to attempt to capture them and after doing so, Hilda/Hilbert proceeded to defeat N in the ensuing battle.

N's loss to his opponent caused Ghetsis to storm into the room in rage, insisting that N was a complete failure and a freak and revealing his true motivation for Team Plasma. By separating all other Pokémon from their Trainers, while Team Plasma retained their own, he, as leader of the group (acting through N), would have been left in a position of power from which he could have dominated the world. However, his delusions of grandeur were cut short by his defeat in a final Pokémon battle at the hands of Hilda/Hilbert followed by his arrest.

N, however, was not arrested and subsequently flew from the land on Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} in order to do some soul searching in light of Ghetsis's revelations. He was not seen again in Unova, but there is a rumor that someone with a strong resemblance to N was spotted somewhere in a far-off region. Hilda/Hilbert then continued the rest of their journey, managing to also cover eastern Unova, (becoming the first person to successfully operate the [[Poké Transfer]]), locate and aid in the arrest of the remaining Seven Sages, and eventually return to the League to defeat the Pokémon League Champion Alder themselves. Afterwards, after some time reflecting, Bianca decides to become an assistant to Professor Juniper to aid in her research, and Hilda/Hilbert leaves Unova to search for N.

====Between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
During the two years between the events of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, construction of [[Unova Route 4|the road]] between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]] through the [[desert]] was either completed and a small settlement was established on this road{{sup/5|B2}}, or abandoned after ancient ruins were discovered in the sand and excavated{{sup/5|W2}}. The [[gate]] between {{rt|4|Unova}} and Nimbasa City was expanded into [[Join Avenue]]. The construction in the south of [[Driftveil City]] was completed, with the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] taking the place of the [[Cold Storage]]. The [[Entralink]]'s moat was drained or dried up, and a different type of Entree now grows in the center. A section was taken out of a [[Reversal Mountain|mountain]] to the east, with [[Lentimas Town]] built in the new space.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]].

Furthermore, {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} has collapsed. As a result, {{rt|10|Unova}} is closed and replaced by another path, {{rt|22|Unova}} and {{rt|23|Unova}}. Also, the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]] has collapsed.

Additionally, the coastline of Unova has changed between the games.

As revealed via [[Memory Link]], Ghetsis reforms Team Plasma during this period.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives their first Pokémon from Bianca in their hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the [[DNA Splicers]] from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving them. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]]{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]].

After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads them to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

====Between Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
[[Blueberry Academy]] was established by [[Cyrano]], located underwater off the coast of Unova, and formed close ties with the historic [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in [[Paldea]] by becoming its sister school.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
Two students of Blueberry Academy, [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]], participate in a class trip to their homeland of [[Kitakami]], where they meet {{ga|Florian}}/{{ga|Juliana}}, a student from Paldea's Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}. Continuously losing to Florian/Juliana and having the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he's long idolized, {{ga|Ogerpon}}, choose them over him, leaves Kieran with an obsessive compulsion to defeat them as he and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy. Pushing himself to grow stronger in order to defeat his [[rival]], Kieran conquers the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} and becomes Blueberry Academy's new {{pkmn|Champion}}, at the cost of making the atmosphere in the school's [[League Club Room|League Club]] unpleasantly toxic for everyone else. Meanwhile, [[Briar]], one of the school's teachers, installs a giant sphere called the Terarium Core in the school's undersea [[Terarium]] dome, enabling the students and staff members to start utilizing the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

Florian/Juliana is eventually invited to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. [[Drayton]], the school's former Champion and a member of its [[Elite Four]], invites the new exchange student to participate in the BB League, hoping to restore the genuine love Kieran once had for battling. After clearing the four Elite Trials and defeating the Elite Four, Florian/Juliana is granted the right to challenge Kieran. They emerge victorious, becoming the new BB League Champion. Although Kieran initially retains his obsession to defeat his rival, a subsequent adventure in Paldea's [[Area Zero]] makes him see the error of his ways and become friends with Florian/Juliana again.

==Geography==
[[File:Unova PG.png|thumb|250px|Unova in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges: the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon League since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.

Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.

===Climate===
{{main|Season (game mechanic)}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.

Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

===Demographics===
The Unova region has a total population of 949, including all the towns, cities and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation V]], it was the largest region by population and is currently the third largest region by population.

=====Bridges and tunnels=====
[[File:Driftveil Drawbridge anime.png|thumb|Driftveil Drawbridge, as seen in the anime]]
Given that Unova is spread across three strips of land divided by two rivers, a number of bridges and an underwater tunnel exist to allow free movement across the region. Each of them has its own characteristic features and are even popular tourist attractions; they are:
* [[Skyarrow Bridge]]
* [[Driftveil Drawbridge]]
* [[Tubeline Bridge]]
* [[Village Bridge]]
* [[Marvelous Bridge]]
* [[Marine Tube]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}

====Routes====
Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.

In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.

[[Blueberry Academy]] has its own unofficial [[Pokémon League]], referred to as the BB League, which is used as a ranking system to determine the strongest Trainer in the school. Unlike the [[Unova League]], this League has no [[Gym Leader]]s. Instead, a Trainer of a high-enough rank may take on an [[Elite Four]] member's Elite Trial, then the Elite Four member themselves, and, if victorious against all four of them, the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Trivia==
* Unova is the first [[core series]] [[region]] to be based on a real-world region outside of Japan.
** Unova is also the region that has the most settlements, with 21.
* Unova is the only region without:
** an actual or former {{type|Rock}} [[Gym]] in the generations that introduced Gyms.
** a new {{type|Psychic}} specialist, as [[Caitlin]] was introduced in [[Generation IV]], although she could not be battled until Generation V.
** a regional [[Pokédex]] that starts with a {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (although the Grass-type starter Pokémon is still entry #001, its Pokédex starts with {{p|Victini}} as #000).
** the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]] of {{p|Pikachu}} and/or {{p|Magikarp}} in its regional Pokédex.
** an [[origin mark]].
* Unova is the only main series region which does not use a romanization of the Japanese name as its English name, and the only region whose name is different among all translations of the games.
** According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Unova's Japanese name was translated into different languages of the games so that players who do not speak Japanese can still understand the meaning behind the name.<ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak2.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 2) (German)</ref>
* Except [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.
* In some pre-release material in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, Unova was referred to as '''Alleos'''.
* Unova is tied with [[Galar]] with the most [[Gym Leader]]s in a single region, with 14 in total.
* Unova has the most [[Gym]]s in cities, with all eleven of them. [[Sinnoh]] and [[Kalos]] both also have all of their Gyms in cities, but only have eight Gyms each.
* Unova is the only region in which multiple gyms specialize in the same type: the [[Striaton Gym]] (which also specializes in {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}) and the [[Humilau Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Water}} types, and the [[Nacrene Gym]] and [[Aspertia Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Normal}} types.
* Unova is the only region to have two [[Victory Road]]s.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Unova is "Unovan", as mentioned in {{p|Terrakion}}'s [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] Pokédex entry.
* The northwestern and northeastern portions of Unova are, in-game, incongruous with one another; the western side is larger in the north-south direction than the eastern side.
* Junichi Masuda chose New York as the basis for the Unova region with Pokémon musical concerts in mind; he had his music arranged and performed in Pokémon-themed concerts held in {{wp|Kantō region|Kantō}}, {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}}, {{wp|Kyushu}}, and {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (the real-life basis for the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh respectively), and he had wanted to hold a similar concert in New York due to the many musical theaters found in Manhattan. Ultimately, the plan never came through due to complications, such as having to fly all the musicians and instruments to the United States.<ref name=Iwata/>

The '''Unova''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Isshu {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], while a location in Unova called [[Blueberry Academy]] was introduced as the setting of [[The Indigo Disk]]. It was the fifth [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Unova is stated to be far away from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]; the Pokémon which inhabit Unova are diverse and different from those of other regions. According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=242 Hidden Power of Masuda: Director's Columns]</ref><ref>"This new region was inspired by New York's Manhattan. I visited New York when Diamond and Pearl launched and I had the chance to wander around the town. When I walked through the streets, I saw a lot of different people having festivals and community events—Italian people, French people—they're coming from different countries and coexisting in one community", [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] Issue 65 page 30.</ref> Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes. The region also has several cultural references to the country where this state is located, the {{wp|United States of America}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Unova's Japanese name, イッシュ ''Isshu'', is derived from the Japanese word for "one variety", '''一種''' ''isshu'', or '''１種類''' ''isshurui''. According to the game director Masuda, this is to express that although the region is diverse in species and race, they are all the same as living creatures when seen from a distance.<ref name=Iwata>Iwata Asks - Pokémon Black and Pokémon White Versions - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon-black-white/0/1/ English], [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

The region's English name likely comes from the Spanish word ''uno'' or the Latin word ''unum'' (one), and the Latin word ''nova'' (new). It may also be derived from ''united'', considering its basis on the largest city in the United States. It also sounds like parts of the phrase '''Un'''ited States '''of''' '''A'''merica.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova}}
Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==
[[File:Unova world map.png|250px|thumb|Location of Unova in the [[Pokémon world]], according to the anime]]
===Mythological events===
In mythology, Unova was created by uniting the warring peoples of the land by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]]. They used a single dragon sometime more than 2500 years ago. The brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Their arguments split the single dragon into {{p|Reshiram}}, who sided with the older brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother. Since they were both born from the same dragon neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the Unova region with their {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|lightning}} powers before disappearing.

Sometime after the original dragon had been split into Reshiram and Zekrom, one of the two brothers and their respective dragon created the Relic Castle, which was the seat of a new civilization for people and Pokémon.

Also at an unknown point in the distant past, a civil war broke out in Unova that caused an intense forest fire. The many Pokémon that lived in the forest became trapped, though luckily the [[Swords of Justice]] came in to save them—{{p|Terrakion}} moved away boulders that blocked their escape route, {{p|Virizion}} used its nimble movements to protect Pokémon from looming flames, and {{p|Cobalion}} led the scared Pokémon out of the forest. These Pokémon would later become responsible for ending the war before disappearing into myths.

According to the [[Lacunosa Town]] legend, a long time ago, a large meteor came from the sky containing a {{p|Kyurem|terrifying monster}}. It was said that at night, the monster would appear in the town along with the cold winds and take away [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to eat them. The residents of the town surrounded Lacunosa Town in a wall to keep the monster out, and a rule was then set on the town that forbade anyone from leaving at night and encouraged people to stay in their homes. While residents no longer believe this old story, they still stay inside of their houses at night to this day. The legendary monster, Kyurem, was really a remaining third Pokémon created when the primordial dragon had split into two.

A legend says {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} once raced across Unova, tearing up the lands with their respective weather-controlling powers, not caring about settlements and creatures in their path. {{p|Landorus}}, seeing the massive destruction the pair had brought to the region and its inhabitants, is said to have punished them so that they would never repeat their actions.

{{p|Meloetta}} once entertained the people of Unova with song and dance, but when sorrow filled the hearts of people, Meloetta lost this melody and its red shoes.

===Dated history===
* 3,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the {{cat|Relic items}} were created.
* 2,500 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the [[Relic Castle]] was flourishing and the {{p|Darmanitan}} in front of it went to {{status|sleep}}.
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, an ultra-rich family purchased and named the [[Liberty Garden]].
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, [[Village Bridge]] was constructed after the local river burst its banks, flooding the settlement that stood there previously.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the warehouses of [[Nacrene City]] were constructed.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Klink}} started appearing in [[Chargestone Cave]].
* 50 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Elgyem}} was seen for the first time when it appeared from far in the [[desert]].

===Contemporary history===
{{spoilers}}
====Pokémon Black and White====
In contemporary history, a present containing three [[starter Pokémon]]—one each for [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Hilda}}/{{ga|Hilbert}}—was sent to Hilda/Hilbert's house in [[Nuvema Town]] by [[Professor Juniper]] on their mothers' request, so that they could each start their Pokémon journeys through the Unova region, challenging each of Unova's eight Gyms in order to collect Badges and eventually reach the {{un|Pokémon League}}. During their travels, Hilda/Hilbert met and battled with the members of [[Team Plasma]] many times, including their king, [[N]], and encountered the mysterious [[Shadow Triad]], with events coming to a head at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where N managed to capture one of the members of the [[Tao trio]] and invited Hilda/Hilbert to face him after they had beaten the Pokémon League and resurrected the complementary dragon from the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. On retrieving the appropriate stone from [[Nacrene Museum]] and defeating the [[Elite Four]], Hilda/Hilbert reached the Champion's room, where N was waiting for them, having just defeated [[Alder|the Champion]]. N then summoned [[N's Castle|his castle]], which rose out of the earth surrounding the Pokémon League; Team Plasma had been working tirelessly for years prior to build the fortress around the Pokémon League right under their nose, overworking the Pokémon gifted to them by Trainers they had emotionally manipulated into doing so for this purpose. N then invites Hilda/Hilbert into the castle to battle him in order to test the strength of their convictions.

On entering the castle, Hilda/Hilbert are ambushed by all of the [[Seven Sages]] (except [[Ghetsis]]), who planned to defeat them so that their king's reign would be unopposed. Fortunately, Bianca arrived, bringing all the [[Gym Leader]]s of the region that she was able find with her (which includes all of them except for [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], whom Bianca claimed she could not contact in time). The Gym Leaders then opted to engage the Seven Sages in battle on Hilda/Hilbert's behalf, so that they were able to ascend through the castle and defeat N. Eventually, Hilda/Hilbert reached Team Plasma's King in the throne room, where N summoned his member of the Tao trio, who subsequently came crashing through the farthest wall of the room. The presence of Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} then activated the player's dormant stone, which emerged from the [[Bag]] and transformed into its counterpart, Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|B}}. The latter then allowed Hilda/Hilbert to attempt to capture them and after doing so, Hilda/Hilbert proceeded to defeat N in the ensuing battle.

N's loss to his opponent caused Ghetsis to storm into the room in rage, insisting that N was a complete failure and a freak and revealing his true motivation for Team Plasma. By separating all other Pokémon from their Trainers, while Team Plasma retained their own, he, as leader of the group (acting through N), would have been left in a position of power from which he could have dominated the world. However, his delusions of grandeur were cut short by his defeat in a final Pokémon battle at the hands of Hilda/Hilbert followed by his arrest.

N, however, was not arrested and subsequently flew from the land on Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} in order to do some soul searching in light of Ghetsis's revelations. He was not seen again in Unova, but there is a rumor that someone with a strong resemblance to N was spotted somewhere in a far-off region. Hilda/Hilbert then continued the rest of their journey, managing to also cover eastern Unova, (becoming the first person to successfully operate the [[Poké Transfer]]), locate and aid in the arrest of the remaining Seven Sages, and eventually return to the League to defeat the Pokémon League Champion Alder themselves. Afterwards, after some time reflecting, Bianca decides to become an assistant to Professor Juniper to aid in her research, and Hilda/Hilbert leaves Unova to search for N.

====Between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
During the two years between the events of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, construction of [[Unova Route 4|the road]] between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]] through the [[desert]] was either completed and a small settlement was established on this road{{sup/5|B2}}, or abandoned after ancient ruins were discovered in the sand and excavated{{sup/5|W2}}. The [[gate]] between {{rt|4|Unova}} and Nimbasa City was expanded into [[Join Avenue]]. The construction in the south of [[Driftveil City]] was completed, with the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] taking the place of the [[Cold Storage]]. The [[Entralink]]'s moat was drained or dried up, and a different type of Entree now grows in the center. A section was taken out of a [[Reversal Mountain|mountain]] to the east, with [[Lentimas Town]] built in the new space.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]].

Furthermore, {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} has collapsed. As a result, {{rt|10|Unova}} is closed and replaced by another path, {{rt|22|Unova}} and {{rt|23|Unova}}. Also, the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]] has collapsed.

Additionally, the coastline of Unova has changed between the games.

As revealed via [[Memory Link]], Ghetsis reforms Team Plasma during this period.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives their first Pokémon from Bianca in their hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the [[DNA Splicers]] from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving them. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]]{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]].

After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads them to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

====Between Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
[[Blueberry Academy]] was established by [[Cyrano]], located underwater off the coast of Unova, and formed close ties with the historic [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in [[Paldea]] by becoming its sister school.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
Two students of Blueberry Academy, [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]], participate in a class trip to their homeland of [[Kitakami]], where they meet {{ga|Florian}}/{{ga|Juliana}}, a student from Paldea's Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}. Continuously losing to Florian/Juliana and having the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he's long idolized, {{ga|Ogerpon}}, choose them over him, leaves Kieran with an obsessive compulsion to defeat them as he and Carmine return to Blueberry Academy. Pushing himself to grow stronger in order to defeat his [[rival]], Kieran conquers the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} and becomes Blueberry Academy's new {{pkmn|Champion}}, at the cost of making the atmosphere in the school's [[League Club Room|League Club]] unpleasantly toxic for everyone else. Meanwhile, [[Briar]], one of the school's teachers, installs a giant sphere called the Terarium Core in the school's undersea [[Terarium]] dome, enabling the students and staff members to start utilizing the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

Florian/Juliana is eventually invited to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. [[Drayton]], the school's former Champion and a member of its [[Elite Four]], invites the new exchange student to participate in the BB League, hoping to restore the genuine love Kieran once had for battling. After clearing the four Elite Trials and defeating the Elite Four, Florian/Juliana is granted the right to challenge Kieran. They emerge victorious, becoming the new BB League Champion. Although Kieran initially retains his obsession to defeat his rival, a subsequent adventure in Paldea's [[Area Zero]] makes him see the error of his ways and become friends with Florian/Juliana again.

==Geography==
[[File:Unova PG.png|thumb|250px|Unova in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges: the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon League since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.

Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.

===Climate===
{{main|Season (game mechanic)}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.

Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

===Demographics===
The Unova region has a total population of 949, including all the towns, cities and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation V]], it was the largest region by population and is currently the third largest region by population.

=====Bridges and tunnels=====
[[File:Driftveil Drawbridge anime.png|thumb|Driftveil Drawbridge, as seen in the anime]]
Given that Unova is spread across three strips of land divided by two rivers, a number of bridges and an underwater tunnel exist to allow free movement across the region. Each of them has its own characteristic features and are even popular tourist attractions; they are:
* [[Skyarrow Bridge]]
* [[Driftveil Drawbridge]]
* [[Tubeline Bridge]]
* [[Village Bridge]]
* [[Marvelous Bridge]]
* [[Marine Tube]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}

====Routes====
Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.

In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.

==BB League==
{{main|Blueberry Academy#BB League|Blueberry Academy → BB League}}
[[Blueberry Academy]] has its own unofficial [[Pokémon League]], referred to as the BB League, which is used as a ranking system to determine the strongest Trainer in the school. Unlike the [[Unova League]], this League has no [[Gym Leader]]s. Instead, a Trainer of a high-enough rank may take on an [[Elite Four]] member's Elite Trial, then the Elite Four member themselves, and, if victorious against all four of them, the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Trivia==
* Unova is the first [[core series]] [[region]] to be based on a real-world region outside of Japan.
** Unova is also the region that has the most settlements, with 21.
* Unova is the only region without:
** an actual or former {{type|Rock}} [[Gym]] in the generations that introduced Gyms.
** a new {{type|Psychic}} specialist, as [[Caitlin]] was introduced in [[Generation IV]], although she could not be battled until Generation V.
** a regional [[Pokédex]] that starts with a {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] (although the Grass-type starter Pokémon is still entry #001, its Pokédex starts with {{p|Victini}} as #000).
** the [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution families]] of {{p|Pikachu}} and/or {{p|Magikarp}} in its regional Pokédex.
** an [[origin mark]].
* Unova is the only main series region which does not use a romanization of the Japanese name as its English name, and the only region whose name is different among all translations of the games.
** According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Unova's Japanese name was translated into different languages of the games so that players who do not speak Japanese can still understand the meaning behind the name.<ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak2.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 2) (German)</ref>
* Except [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.
* In some pre-release material in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, Unova was referred to as '''Alleos'''.
* Unova is tied with [[Galar]] with the most [[Gym Leader]]s in a single region, with 14 in total.
* Unova has the most [[Gym]]s in cities, with all eleven of them. [[Sinnoh]] and [[Kalos]] both also have all of their Gyms in cities, but only have eight Gyms each.
* Unova is the only region in which multiple gyms specialize in the same type: the [[Striaton Gym]] (which also specializes in {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}) and the [[Humilau Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Water}} types, and the [[Nacrene Gym]] and [[Aspertia Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Normal}} types.
* Unova is the only region to have two [[Victory Road]]s.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Unova is "Unovan", as mentioned in {{p|Terrakion}}'s [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] Pokédex entry.
* The northwestern and northeastern portions of Unova are, in-game, incongruous with one another; the western side is larger in the north-south direction than the eastern side.
* Junichi Masuda chose New York as the basis for the Unova region with Pokémon musical concerts in mind; he had his music arranged and performed in Pokémon-themed concerts held in {{wp|Kantō region|Kantō}}, {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}}, {{wp|Kyushu}}, and {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (the real-life basis for the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh respectively), and he had wanted to hold a similar concert in New York due to the many musical theaters found in Manhattan. Ultimately, the plan never came through due to complications, such as having to fly all the musicians and instruments to the United States.<ref name=Iwata/>

'''Deerling''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シキジカ''' ''Shikijika'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Sawsbuck}} starting at [[level]] 34.

Deerling has four [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Spring Form''', '''Summer Form''', '''Autumn Form''', and '''Winter Form'''. Deerling changes forms depending on the location the game was loaded in. In [[Paldea]], Spring Form corresponds to {{DL|Paldea|South Province}}, Summer Form to {{DL|Paldea|East Province}}, Autumn Form to {{DL|Paldea|West Province}}, and Winter Form to {{DL|Paldea|North Province}}.

When it debuted, Deerling's form changed based on the {{season}}. From [[Generation VI]] to {{gen|VIII}}, its form could not be changed at all, and only the Spring Form could be found in the wild, with the other forms being obtainable exclusively via [[transfer]] from a Generation V game or from {{g|GO}}.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Deerling is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|deer}} fawn. The upper side of its body is pink in the spring, green in the summer, orange in the autumn, and brown in the winter. Deerling has a yellow-patterned rim, and its underside is peach. It sports a yellow floral tuft on its head with small antlers hidden underneath, and similar yellow coloration on the insides of its tapering ears. The tips of its limbs are colored black and its pink tail is small.

If Deerling senses animosity, it will hide in tall grass. It moves in herds, as it is timid around humans. Despite this, Deerling does whatever it wants, even around humans. Deerling will take a liking towards anyone who feeds it. It will playfully headbutt anyone it likes, even if headbutts are a little painful. It dwells in sparsely populated areas, away from humans. It is herbivorous. Despite their innocent and adorable appearance, Deerling are considered pests by farmers, as they tend to eat all of their plant shoots. Because of this, and because {{p|Lycanroc}} is a natural enemy of Deerling, farmers often use Lycanroc to guard their fields from Deerling.

===Forms===
Deerling has four forms: Spring Form, Summer Form, Autumn Form, and Winter Form.

Aside from differing in coloration, Deerling also has different scents depending on the season. During spring, its scent is delicate, sweet, and calming. During summer, it has a distinct grassy scent. During autumn, it has a softly sweet scent. During winter, Deerling has no scent.

===Form data===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Needs more Gen 9 details (how exactly the form changes, breeding, etc.)}}
Deerling has four different forms based on the four seasons. These forms are interchangeable in [[Generation V]] and [[Generation IX]] but not in other games. They are purely cosmetic.

;Generation V
In {{game4|BWB2W2}}, Deerling will change its form to match the current {{season}}s if it is in the [[party]] when the season changes. All {{pkmn2|wild}}, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], and [[Non-player character|NPC]] Trainer-owned Deerling will match the current season, with the exception of those owned by NPC Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], which are all Spring Form.
* When the month is January, May, or September, the season is {{season|spring}}, and it becomes Spring Form.
* When the month is February, June, or October, the season is {{season|summer}}, and it becomes Summer Form.
* When the month is March, July, or November, the season is {{season|autumn}}, and it becomes Autumn Form.
* When the month is April, August, or December, the season is {{season|winter}}, and it becomes Winter Form.

;Generations VI to VIII
From [[Generation VI]] to {{gen|VIII}}, with the abandonment of seasons as a mechanic, Deerling is unable to change forms. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling are Spring Form, while bred Deerling are in the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}. The Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms are only obtainable via [[transfer]] from a [[Generation V]] game or from {{g|GO}}.

;Generation IX
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Deerling is once again able to change forms, but the form it will become is now based on the location that the game was loaded in rather than the season. Wild Deerling vary in form based on location. In [[Paldea]], Spring Form corresponds to {{DL|Paldea|South Province}}, Summer Form to {{DL|Paldea|East Province}}, Autumn Form to {{DL|Paldea|West Province}}, and Winter Form to {{DL|Paldea|North Province}}.

In general, Spring Form Deerling can be found in South Province ([[South Province (Area One)|Areas One]], [[South Province (Area Two)|Two]], [[South Province (Area Three)|Three]], [[South Province (Area Four)|Four]], and [[South Province (Area Five)|Five]]) and in 1★ [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, Summer Form in East Province ([[East Province (Area One)|Areas One]] and [[East Province (Area Two)|Two]]), Autumn Form in West Province ([[West Province (Area Two)|Areas Two]] and [[West Province (Area Three)|Three]]), and Winter Form in North Province ([[Dalizapa Passage]] and [[Glaseado Mountain]]).

==Trivia==
* Deerling's Autumn Form has, to date, only ever been released as [[Deerling (Everyone's Exciting Battle 4)|a Pokémon card]] once; because this card was never released outside of Japan, Autumn Form Deerling has never appeared in the International [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
* Deerling's Winter Form is its only form that has not appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} yet.

===Origin===
Deerling may be based on a {{wp|sika deer}} fawn with a yellow flower on top of its head.

The colors of its four different seasonal [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]] may be visual references to the colors of trees and bushes during the four [[seasons]]: with pink representing blossoms in the {{season|spring}}, green representing fully grown leaves in the {{season|summer}}, orange representing the changing leaves in the {{season|autumn}}, and brown representing the bare, leafless tree and bush branches in the {{season|winter}}. Deerling's design was worked backwards from Sawsbuck's design.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Deerling may be a combination of ''deer'' and ''darling'' or ''[[wiktionary:yearling|yearling]]'' (young animal between the age of one to two years old), with ''-ling'' being a common suffix to denote something that is small or immature; it may also reference the 1938 novel ''{{wp|The Yearling}}'', about a boy who adopts an orphaned fawn.

''Shikijika'' may be a combination of 四季 ''shiki'' (four seasons) and 鹿 ''shika'' (deer).

'''Gothitelle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチルゼル''' ''Gothiruselle'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 41. It is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gothitelle legs.png|thumb|left|250px|Gothitelle's legs seen from below]]
Gothitelle is a humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily black body. Its head is teardrop-shaped, with a white, bow-like fixture attached to the base of its tip. The black skin on Gothitelle's head opens onto its purple face with a zigzag pattern resembling bangs. Gothitelle has large, heavy-lidded eyes with blue irises and white pupils, as well as a small mouth with red lips. Four flat, black disks flank each side of its head. Gothitelle's body is split into four progressively-larger tiers, with its head and arms being attached to the smallest, uppermost tier and with a pair of stubby pink feet being under them. Its arms are thin, ending in small, purple hands with white disks at the wrists. Each tier of Gothitelle's body has a white, bow-like fixture on its front.

Gothitelle's immense psychic power can distort the space around it, showing visions of distant stars and [[BW021|past events]], but it dislikes conflict. It can predict the future from the placement and movement of stars and weeps when it discovers the lifespan of its Trainer. It has a detached nature due to seeing how all life will eventually end. A criminal that a Gothitelle had shown his fate to went missing that same day and was never seen again. The visions Gothitelle shares are said to be apparently ethereal and beautiful.

===Evolution===
Gothitelle evolves from {{p|Gothorita}} and is the final form of {{p|Gothita}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Gothitelle can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Reuniclus}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon that are the final stage of a three-stage evolutionary line with first evolution at level 32 and second at level 41. Gothitelle is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Reuniclus is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels, and have base stat totals of 490.

===Origin===
Gothitelle appears to be based on a stylized depiction of a woman wearing {{wp|Gothic fashion|Gothic}}-style clothing and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. Goth styles itself are often borrowed from the {{wp|punk fashion}} and can also draw influence from {{wp|Victorian|Victorian}} and {{wp|1550–1600 in European fashion|Elizabethan fashion}} periods of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.

It may also be based on the philosophical concept of the {{wp|astral body}}. Its ability to predict the future using stars may allude to {{wp|fortune-telling|fortune teller}}s or {{wp|Romani people}}.

====Name origin====
Gothitelle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss''), ''foretell'', or ''stelle'' (Italian for ''stars'').

Gothiruselle may be a combination of ''Gothic'' and ''mademoiselle'' (French for the title of ''miss'').

'''Gothorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチミル''' ''Gothimiru'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gothita}} starting at [[level]] 32 and evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}} starting at level 41.

==Biology==
Gothorita is a black, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with slim arms and legs. There are two round black buns on each side of its head, with a smaller drop-shaped piece hanging from each. Adorning its hair are two pairs of white bows on each bun. It has a pale purple face with cyan eyes and red lips. It has two white bows on its body, which flares at the bottom to form a skirt shape.

Gothorita uses starlight as the source of its power, and is able to use its psychic powers to arrange rocks into the shapes of constellations. It can also use these powers to control people and Pokémon with hypnosis, leading people astray and putting children to sleep before kidnapping them. Because of this, Gothorita is known as the Witch of Punishment. Some people believe Gothorita is from [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|outer space]], although this connection is yet to be confirmed.

===Evolution===
Gothorita evolves from {{p|Gothita}} and evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Gothorita shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Grumpig}}. They are both known as the Manipulate Pokémon.
* Gothorita represents {{wp|September}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].

===Origin===
Gothorita is based on a young girl dressed in {{wp|Lolita fashion#Gothic Lolita|Gothic lolita}} fashion and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. The Gothic lolita fashion itself is highly influenced by the {{wp|Victorian clothing|fashion from the Victorian period of the United Kingdom}} and also by styles from the {{wp|Rococo}} period, the Rococo being an artistic movement born in the 18th century in France, that later spreaded to other parts of {{wp|Europe}} and the colonial {{wp|Americas}}.
Considering its connection to stars, Gothorita's body shape also slightly resembles the common depiction of the {{wp|astrological sign}} {{wp|Libra (astrology)|Libra}}, or as a feminine Pokémon it may also represent {{wp|Virgo (astrology)|Virgo}}, like it does in [[Horoscope]] in Unova.

====Name origin====
Gothorita may be a combination of ''goth'' and ''señorita'' (Spanish for the title of ''miss'') or a corruption of ''gothic lolita''.

Gothimiru may be a combination of ''gothic'' and 見る ''miru'' (to see).

'''Gothita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチム''' ''Gothimu'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 32, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}} starting at level 41.

==Biology==
Gothita is a small, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A small tuft of hair sticks up from the top of its purple head, and it has two white, bow-shaped feelers on each side of the head and a third bow-shaped feeler on its neck. These ribbon-like feelers are used to amplify Gothita's psychic power, and will cause Gothita to cry if touched. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Its torso is black with a white zigzagging line running horizontally through the middle. Its arms and legs are short and stubby with no visible digits.

Gothita intently observes those around it, looking at something only it can see. It can become so focused that it ends up being unaware of attacks. Gothita are normally known to be innocent. It is usually quiet, but sometimes it makes muted cries, even when alone. This is believed to be Gothita communicating with invisible beings.

===Evolution===
Gothita evolves into {{p|Gothorita}}, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Gothita can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Solosis}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolving once at level 32 and then again at level 41. Gothita is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Solosis is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels and have base stat totals of 290.

===Origin===
Gothita seems to be based on a child dressed in {{wp|Lolita fashion#Gothic Lolita|Gothic lolita}} fashion and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. The Gothic lolita fashion itself is highly influenced by the {{wp|Victorian clothing|fashion from the Victorian period of the United Kingdom}} and also by styles from the {{wp|Rococo}} period, the Rococo being an artistic movement born in the 18th century in France, that later spreaded to other parts of {{wp|Europe}} and the colonial {{wp|Americas}}.

====Name origin====
Gothita may be a contraction of ''Gothic lolita''.

Gothimu may be a combination of ''{{wp|Goth subculture|Gothic}}'' and 予知夢 ''yochimu'' (precognitive dream).

'''Gothita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチム''' ''Gothimu'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 32, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}} starting at level 41.

==Biology==
Gothita is a small, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A small tuft of hair sticks up from the top of its purple head, and it has two white, bow-shaped feelers on each side of the head and a third bow-shaped feeler on its neck. These ribbon-like feelers are used to amplify Gothita's psychic power, and will cause Gothita to cry if touched. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Its torso is black with a white zigzagging line running horizontally through the middle. Its arms and legs are short and stubby with no visible digits.

Gothita intently observes those around it, looking at something only it can see. It can become so focused that it ends up being unaware of attacks. Gothita are normally known to be innocent. It is usually quiet, but sometimes it makes muted cries, even when alone. This is believed to be Gothita communicating with invisible beings.

===Evolution===
Gothita evolves into {{p|Gothorita}}, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Gothita can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Solosis}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolving once at level 32 and then again at level 41. Gothita is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Solosis is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels and have base stat totals of 290.

===Origin===
Gothita seems to be based on a child dressed in {{wp|Lolita fashion#Gothic Lolita|Gothic lolita}} fashion and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. The Gothic lolita fashion itself is highly influenced by the {{wp|Victorian clothing|fashion from the Victorian period of the United Kingdom}} and also by styles from the {{wp|Rococo}} period, the Rococo being an artistic movement born in the 18th century in France, that spread to other parts of Europe and the colonial Americas.

====Name origin====
Gothita may be a contraction of ''Gothic lolita''.

Gothimu may be a combination of ''{{wp|Goth subculture|Gothic}}'' and 予知夢 ''yochimu'' (precognitive dream).

'''Gothita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴチム''' ''Gothimu'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gothorita}} starting at [[level]] 32, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}} starting at level 41.

==Biology==
Gothita is a small, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A small tuft of hair sticks up from the top of its purple head, and it has two white, bow-shaped feelers on each side of the head and a third bow-shaped feeler on its neck. These ribbon-like feelers are used to amplify Gothita's psychic power, and will cause Gothita to cry if touched. It has two large blue eyes with three eyelashes on each and small red lips. Its torso is black with a white zigzagging line running horizontally through the middle. Its arms and legs are short and stubby with no visible digits.

Gothita intently observes those around it, looking at something only it can see. It can become so focused that it ends up being unaware of attacks. Gothita are normally known to be innocent. It is usually quiet, but sometimes it makes muted cries, even when alone. This is believed to be Gothita communicating with invisible beings.

===Evolution===
Gothita evolves into {{p|Gothorita}}, which evolves into {{p|Gothitelle}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Gothita can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Solosis}}. Both are [[Generation V]] {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolving once at level 32 and then again at level 41. Gothita is [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Pokémon Black, Black 2, and Sword, while Solosis is exclusive to Pokémon White, White 2, and Shield. They both have the same base experience and catch rates, gain new moves at similar levels and have base stat totals of 290.

===Origin===
Gothita seems to be based on a child dressed in {{wp|Lolita fashion#Gothic Lolita|Gothic lolita}} fashion and the common trope to associate goth girls with magical powers or {{wp|witch}}es. The Gothic lolita fashion itself is highly influenced by the {{wp|Victorian clothing|fashion from the Victorian period of the United Kingdom}} and also by styles from the {{wp|Rococo}} period, the Rococo being an artistic movement born in the 18th century in France.

====Name origin====
Gothita may be a contraction of ''Gothic lolita''.

Gothimu may be a combination of ''{{wp|Goth subculture|Gothic}}'' and 予知夢 ''yochimu'' (precognitive dream).

'''Simipour''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヤッキー''' ''Hiyakkie'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
Simipour is a simian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily blue. Its ears are broad with light blue insides, and it has oval eyes and a small black nose. There are several tufts of fur on its head, which resemble {{wp|dreadlocks}}. These tufts can store water, which it collects with its tail. Simipour has a white marking around its neck that resembles a ruff; and a cream-colored face, hands, arms, legs, and feet. Its hands have five fingers, and its feet have three toes. Its tail is tipped with a blue plume, resembling a spout of water. This tail can shoot water at such high pressure that it can destroy a concrete wall. Simipour prefers to live near clean water.

===Evolution===
Simipour evolves from {{p|Panpour}}.

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

==Trivia==
[[File:516Simipour old.png|thumb|250px|Simipour's old artwork]]
* Simipour represents {{wp|February}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Simipour's official game artwork previously showed its entire tail to be completely blue instead of tan with a blue tip.
* Simipour and its pre-evolution are the only non-[[starter Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Torrent}} as a legally obtainable [[Ability]]; in this case, as a Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
Simipour appears to based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|fountain}}; because of this, it may have been inspired by the water dwelling monkey-like creature {{wp|Ahuizotl (creature)|ahuizotl}}, or it may be a visual pun on {{wp|Sea-Monkeys}}. The ability to store water in its hair may also reference the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}}, a Japanese reptilian ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that stores water on a dish of sorts on its head. The hair itself resembles a common hairstyle among {{wp|hippies}} and popular musicians of the late 60s and the 70s. This contrasts with {{p|Simisage}}'s pompadour-like hair, common in the 50s.

Its chest fur resembles that of a {{wp|volcano}} and may have possibly been based on {{wp|geyser}}s, {{wp|subaqueous volcano}}es, {{wp|cryovolcano}}es, or the Guatemalan {{wp|Volcán de Agua}}. Its chest fur may otherwise possibly represent the froth of a gushing {{wp|waterfall}}, with its blue locks symbolizing the waterfall.

It, along with its two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its eyes closed, Simipour represents "see no evil".

====Name origin====
Simipour may be a combination of ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''pour''.

Hiyakkie may be a combination of 冷や ''hiya'' (cool water) and ''{{wp|monkey}}''.

'''Conkeldurr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ローブシン''' ''Roubushin'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gurdurr}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}}. It is the final form of {{p|Timburr}}.

==Biology==
Conkeldurr is a bipedal sepia-colored {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an ogre. Its nose is large and red, with its face also having a prominent brow, a wide mouth, a gray tuft on its chin, dark rings around its eyes, and a bulbous feature sticking up from the back of its head. Thick violet bands and tendons adorn its shoulders, chest, back, and thighs.

It is known to carry concrete pillars in its massive arms, which it uses to attack strongly without using physical strength or to support its massive upper body. However, when it goes all out, it will throw its pillars aside and jump at opponents to beat them with its fists. Conkeldurr can create concrete, a technique it was believed to have taught humans 2,000 years ago. Concrete that Conkeldurr has mixed is more durable than standard concrete, even when both forms of concrete have the same composition. It is often seen around construction sites, helping construction workers.

===Evolution===
Conkeldurr evolves from {{p|Gurdurr}} and is the final form of {{p|Timburr}}.

==Trivia==
* Conkeldurr's evolutionary line shares many similarities with {{p|Machamp}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon whose {{stat|Attack}} is their highest stat, have below-average {{stat|Speed}}, have the same gender ratio, have three evolutionary stages, reach their respective final-evolutionary form through [[Trade|trading]] and have the same base stat total.
* Due to [[List of censored words (Generation V)|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Conkeldurr cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Conkeldurr and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Gurdurr}}, are the only Pokémon that share a max link of 100% with five different [[Warrior]]s, which is the highest amount found in the game.

===Origin===
At first glance, Conkeldurr's brutal humanoid appearance suggests inspiration from {{wp|ogre}}s of European folklore. {{p|Timburr}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry supports that it and its evolved forms are based on {{wp|construction worker}}s. Conkeldurr in particular is always holding two concrete pillars. Its body appears to be covered with swollen {{wp|vein}}s from physical labor. Due to its clown nose and buff body, it may have also been based on a {{wp|muscleman}} {{wp|carny}} from a {{wp|Sideshow|carnival sideshow}}. It also seems to be based on an elderly person since it has a gray tuft under its chin and uses its pillars as walking canes. A red nose is also given to some anime characters, commonly shown on many older men.

'''Electivire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレキブル''' ''Elekible'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electabuzz}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Electirizer]]. It is the final form of {{p|Elekid}}.

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

==Biology==
Electivire is a large, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in yellow fur with black stripes. It appears to lack a neck and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead, and a pair of antennae with bulbous tips. A pattern on Electivire's back resembles an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|electric outlet}}. The fur on its cheeks and shoulders is spiky and ruffled. It has two black tails with red rounded ends, resembling open electrical wires. Electivire has black feet with three, clawed toes, and five black fingers on each of its hands.

Electivire is said to have the best electrical-energy output of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and has very impressive physical strength. Electivire is known to be recklessly careless regarding enemy attacks. The tips of its tails, which generate electricity, shock opponents on contact with over 20,000 volts. It can also electrify its punches by gripping onto its tails. Blue sparks fly between its antennae as its electric charge amplifies. It thumps its chest when excited, causing thunder and sparks to fly around it. The voltage it makes can increase when it is battling. The amount of electric energy it can produce depends on the Electivire's pulse. Electivire usually feeds off electric currents. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Electivire has [[AG192|been seen]] eating fruits from trees. A single Electivire is capable of powering a large city for an entire year.

Prior to [[Generation V]], Electivire was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Motor Drive}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Electivire evolves from {{p|Electabuzz}} and is the final form of {{p|Elekid}}.

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

===Evolution data===
Electivire [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electabuzz}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding an [[Electirizer]]. Electabuzz cannot evolve into Electivire in {{LGPE}}, as Electivire is not present in those games. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Electivire evolves from Electabuzz when exposed to an Electirizer.

==Trivia==
[[File:Voldon.png|thumb|Voldon's Electivire Costume]]
* Electivire shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Zebstrika}}. They are both known as the Thunderbolt Pokémon.
** Coincidentally, both can also have Motor Drive as their Ability.
* Electivire's evolutionary family may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Magmortar}}'s. Both evolve starting at Level 30 and whose evolved forms evolve via trading with an item containing the suffix "-izer" . Both have the same gender ratio (75% male, 25% female), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They both have similar status-inducing Abilities in {{a|Flame Body}} and {{a|Static}}, as well as the same Hidden Ability, {{a|Vital Spirit}}. Their evolutionary relatives were also released in the same generation ([[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}).
* Electivire, along with {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the [[Electirizer]] and {{p|Elekid}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.
** This excludes the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
* An Electivire Costume is worn by [[Voldon]] in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
* Electivire was the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} that [[AG192|debuted]] before ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' without debuting in a {{pkmn|movie}} first.

===Origin===
Electivire may be based on an ''{{wp|oni}}'', a horned ogre that sometimes has powers of thunder and lightning and often wore tiger skin loincloths which are usually yellow with black stripes. Due to its shaggy appearance, Electivire may also be based on a {{wp|Namahage}}, demons portrayed by men wearing oni masks, which tend to have long hair, and wore {{wp|mino|straw capes}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Yeti}}, an ape-like {{wp|List of cryptids|cryptid}} that was said to inhabit the {{wp|Himalayas}} and that is commonly compared to the {{wp|Bigfoot}} of {{wp|North America}}. Its design and {{a|Motor Drive}} [[Ability]] are similar to an electric motor, while the mark on its back resembles a socket. Its horns may be based on {{wp|Tesla coil}}s and the tails look like cables.

====Name origin====
Electivire may be a combination of ''electric'' or ''electricity'' and ''wire'' (referring to its cord-like tails) or ''live wire''.

Elekible may be a combination of ''electric'', エレキ ''eleki'' (electric), or ''electricity'' and ''cable''.

==Trivia==
* Simisage and its pre-evolution are the only non-[[starter Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Overgrow}} as a legally obtainable [[Ability]]; in this case, as a Hidden Ability.

===Origin===
Simisage appears to be based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|tree}}; the fact that it is based on both may mean that it might be based on the legends of {{wp|Monkey tree phenomenon|monkey trees}} or possibly a visual pun on {{wp|Colobinae|leaf monkeys}}.

Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|bōsōzoku}}'' or {{wp|Yankee#In other countries|yankee}} subculture. Its {{wp|pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}-like hair, common in the 50s, contrasts with the hippy-like hairstyle of {{p|Simipour}}, common in the late 60s and the 70s. During the 1950s, the hairstyle had become a staple of many {{wp|Greaser (subculture)|Greaser}} gangs and was used by early {{wp|rock and roll}} stars such as {{wp|Elvis Presley}}. The early bōsōzoku took inspiration from American greaser culture.

It, along with its two contemporaries, seems to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its thumb up, Simisage represents "speak no evil".

====Name origin====
Simisage may be a combination of ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''{{wp|Salvia officinalis|sage}}'' (an herb). ''Sage'' can also refer to a wise person, relating to the "{{wp|three wise monkeys}}" motif of the [[elemental monkeys]].

Yanakkie may be a combination of 柳 ''yanagi'' ({{wp|willow}}), 野菜 ''yasai'' (vegetables), 菜 ''na'' (greens), ''{{wp|monkey}}'', and possibly ヤンキー ''yankee'' (delinquent youth).

'''Dunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノコッチ''' ''Nokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dudunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

Dunsparce will evolve into one of two {{fd|Dudunsparce|forms}} of Dudunsparce, '''Two-Segment Form''' or '''Three-Segment Form''', with a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Dunsparce is a {{wp|snake|serpentine}}, and somewhat {{wp|insect|insectoid}}, {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.

Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with {{p|Diglett}} and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.

Dunsparce and its evolved form, {{p|Dudunsparce}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

===Evolution===
Dunsparce evolves into {{p|Dudunsparce}}.

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

==In the anime==
[[File:Dunsparce anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Dunsparce in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Dunsparce debuted in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where an entire town was full of children owning Dunsparce. [[Bucky]] was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for assistance. In the end, he was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one.

In ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'', Ash tried to catch a Dunsparce, but [[Iris's Axew]] bumped into [[Ash's Pikachu]], which led to Dunsparce escaping.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Ash wanted to catch another Dunsparce, but was unable to, as he didn't have any [[Poké Ball]]s on hand at that moment, thus letting Dunsparce get away again.

===Minor appearances===
A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', a Dunsparce was trapped in an {{p|Ariados}}'s web.

In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Dunsparce competed in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

A Dunsparce appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]''.

===Evolution data===
The form of {{p|Dudunsparce}} that Dunsparce [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref>

Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] prior to [[Generation V]] (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generation {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} to [[Generation IX]] will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from {{pkmn|Colosseum}})

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 4'11" (1.5 m), which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the {{pkmn|games}}.
** It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], being even smaller than {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Dunsparce was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Dunsparce}}
Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} cryptid of Japan. Visually, its design may be a pun on one of the cryptid's other names, バチヘビ ''bachi hebi'' (bee snake), as Dunsparce appears to combine bee- and snake-like features. It may draw specific inspiration from {{wp|Anthophorini|digger bees}}. Dunsparce may also have connections to {{wp|Amphiptere}}s, such as {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, or {{wp|flying snakes}}. Its tail appears to be based on a {{wp|drill}}, because it can use to dig itself underground. Visually (but not functionally) its drill resembles a {{wp|rattlesnake}}'s rattle, although this is probably a coincidence.

Given its larviform appearance, horn-like tail, and ring-circled eyes that resemble the {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} of some species, Dunsparce may draw inspiration from {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}}, which have a history of being mistaken for the Tsuchinoko. Its closed eyes likely reference the ocular {{wp|vestigiality}} demonstrated by many subterranean animals, though they may also nod to the Nozuchi, a creature thought to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko that is sometimes depicted as a giant, eyeless caterpillar.

====Name origin====
Dunsparce may be a combination of ''dun'' (subadult mayfly; or dark/gloomy, referring to its preferred habitat) and ''sparse''.

Nokocchi may be derived from an {{wp|anagram}} of ツチノコ, the katakana spelling of 槌の子 ''tsuchinoko'' (a fabled snake-like creature).

List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number

Knight Brazil93: /* Trivia */Final edit

{{shortcut|1|LAdex}}
[[File:LA Pokédex.png|right|thumb|100px|[[Hisui]] region's Pokédex]]
This is a list of Pokémon in the order dictated by the [[Hisui]] [[regional Pokédex]], meaning that the [[starter Pokémon#Hisui|starter Pokémon from Hisui]] will appear first, followed by Pokémon native to the Hisui region. There are 242 numbered Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex.

In addition to the order for the entire Hisui region, the Hisui Pokédex splits Pokémon into five sub-listings for each of the region's areas: the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], the [[Crimson Mirelands]], the [[Cobalt Coastlands]], the [[Coronet Highlands]], and the [[Alabaster Icelands]]. In-game, the Pokémon in each area's listing retain their general Hisui number, similar to the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number|Alola Pokédexes]].

==Trivia==
* All Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] are included in the Hisui Pokédex.
** However, a number of Pokémon from the Sinnoh Pokédex that were introduced before Generation IV are missing, those being the evolutionary families of {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hoothoot}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Feebas}}, and from the expanded Pokédex in {{game|Platinum}}, {{p|Swablu}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Tropius}}, and {{p|Absol}}.
*** This makes the Hisui Pokédex the first regional Pokédex to exclude {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Pelipper}}, and {{p|Absol}} after their debut.
** {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}} had not appeared in any regional Pokédex until Pokémon Legends: Arceus; they had been the only Pokémon with that distinction since Platinum.
**Some Pokémon present in Hisui's Pokédex are not present in Sinnoh's Pokédex. This includes the evolutionary families of {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Qwilfish}},{{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Spheal}}
***Some other families are not present in the original Sinnoh Pokédex but appear in its extended Platinum version, in this case the families of {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Scyther}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Gligar}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Duskull}}, {{p|Snorunt}} and {{p|Rotom}}
* All [[Generation V]], [[Generation VI|VI]], and [[Generation VII|VII]] Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex have some connection to a regional form or Pokémon introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, except for {{p|Sylveon}}.
* The only Generation VII Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex are {{p|Rowlet}} and its evolutions.
* The only [[Generation VIII]] Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex are those newly introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five Hisui Pokédex sublistings.
** The Hisui [[starter Pokémon]], the [[Pokémon of Myth]], all [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, and the {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, and {{p|Shieldon}} lines are the only ones to not be in any sublisting.
