==Legendary?==
Isn't this a Legendary Pokémon? If so, why isn't it listed as such? --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 05:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
:Two possible reasons: either someone simply overlooked it or the staff is waiting for official confirmation of its legendary status before adding it. (Though it seems obvious that it's the Rayquaza/Giratina/Kyurem of this generation, there's always still the infinitesimal chance that Nintendo could be throwing us for a loop somehow.) [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:03, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
::It's just been overlooked. It's a Legendary. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:08, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

== Dex Trivia? ==

Is it notable that it's last both numerically in the National Dex and alphabetically? --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 19:39, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
:I don't have an issue with it. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:54, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Unless they make a "Generation VII" or Expansion Pack (like in The Sims) where the grass starter or one of the early Pokémon has a name like "Zyzkrieg". Then it would not be anymore. (but i think the next game should be the Gen. III Remake in 2014, and then "Pokemon Z" in 2015, and the generation VII if it can exist properly, would be in 2016. Propably introduce hybrid Pokémon or Poké-humans or a subplot with aliens or time travel or somesuch.) --[[User:Kaiko Mikkusu|Kaiko Mikkusu]] ([[User talk:Kaiko Mikkusu|talk]]) 19:30, 14 December 2013 (UTC) Kaiko Mikkusu.

Maybe you should keep the crazy fan ideas in the forums. I find those "Poké-humans" very unlikely to made by Nintendo. But we'll never know. Until that happens, we should keep that idea off the encyclopedia. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 22:29, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

== Image origin ==

Where did this image come from, why does it not look like the usual Ken Sugimori art style, why doesn't it look like the other, front forward facing Zygarde pic I keep seeing next to Xerneas and Yveltal? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 08:46, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
:It's not the official artwork, only a placeholder that is used for now (at least it seems so to me). It's the Global Link artwork as stated on the file's page. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 08:53, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
::And the image you're talking is just fanart. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 09:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Physical appearance ==

Given its underground habits, its partial insect-like appearance and the fact it sports tail-end cerci and six tiny limbs close to its head; I'd say Zygarde's design might've been inspired by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle#Larva beetle larvae/grub], a [http://bugguide.net/images/raw/NKRKEK0KPKZK6KXKAKMKZSWQHS6QB0UQRSMKPK6QT0ZKB09QVKIKBKXKDKVQRS8KNK0KEKHKWK6Q2K.jpg Ground Beetle larva] to be precise, given its shape. Would it be alright to add that to the origin section? --[[User:Jomarori|Jomarori]] ([[User talk:Jomarori|talk]]) 15:00, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
: I don't see it as a larva, its more or less a serpent. Although with the mention of Zygote likely having some basis for its name, I am kind of thinking sperm cell. Not saying it looks like a sperm cell, at least not a human sperm cell. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 15:18, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
:: Perhaps it also takes inspiration from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsuchinoko tsuchinoko], much like Dunsparce? It's notable for being a rather wide serpent, as well as having a notable straightforward "wiggle" rather than slithering from side to side. Also, the tsuchinoko's ability to swallow its own tail merges well with the possible basis on Jörmungandr, which could grasp its own tail even wrapped around the earth. --[[User:Eskay64|Eskay64]] ([[User talk:Eskay64|talk]]) 04:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
::: Zygarde's appearance was absolutely inspired by fibuli, these early medieval pins that were common throughout Scandinavia as a means of pinning tunics together. Here are a few examples, [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Frankish_-_Digitated_Fibula_-_Walters_542443.jpg image 1] [http://imgur.com/ylEuTp5 image 2]. As you can see the idea of a long snakelike body is here along with a flaring head, complete with a bunch of pieces sticking out. These would have been totally normal things for upper class medieval Scandinavians to wear and thus fits Gen 6's Nordic legendary theme. I'm haven't seen this connection made anywhere else, but once I saw it in class I recognized it right a way. Perhaps following that logic we might find some other sort of medieval jewelry references in the other legendaries? {{unsigned|Dockers}}

So I just read that "[Zygarde's] hexagons glow in certain patterns like a computer processing information" and I have to ask: have any of you guys actually seen a computer? There ''has'' to be a better way of describing that that doesn't insult people who know how computers work.

(also I edited Dockers' comment because that picture was huge) {{unsigned|Grent|03:10, 26 April 2014 (UTC)}}

== Zygarde Etymology ==

Just looking at the naming trivia, I can't imagine that Garde is actually tied to the origins of its name. It's very serpent-like and clearly based on Norse mythology, so perhaps Zygote and Midgard - specifically the Midgard Serpent.

== Position in Trio ==

Zygarde is in a Legendary trio with Xerneas an Yveltal, so it's "element" should fit with Creation and Destruction. Considering it's Pokédex entry, I think it's safe to say Xerneas = Creation, Yveltal = Destruction, and Zygarde = PRESERVATION. {{unsigned|Conansboy}}
:Which means that the trio is possibly based upon Hindu mythology.--[[User:Teamg9|Teamg9]] ([[User talk:Teamg9|talk]]) 12:25, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

== Catch rate ==

I doubt that Zygarde's catch rate is really 0. Is this a filler till that info is found, or an error?
[[User:Reywas360|Reywas360]] ([[User talk:Reywas360|talk]]) 13:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
:It's a filler.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 13:43, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

== Yggdrasil Trio ==

I'm finally starting to thing this, alongside Xerneas and Yveltal were based on Norse Mythology beasts in the Tree of Yggdrasil. They all represent Life, Death and Order as a whole. So should they be called the Yggdrasil Trio?--[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] ([[User talk:Duo2nd|talk]]) 02:41, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
:Its not really verified they are a trio. At least not yet anyways. As for the Norse basis, its possible they are not based on norse mythology at all, but Hindu mythology or one or more mythologies. As of now, the most popular name for them seems to be Aura Trio if they are a trio. There is a thread about their name on the forum if you're interested. The Thread kind of died but if you have anything to say, there would be the place to say it. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:56, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
::They obviously are a trio. It could not be any more obvious if ot tried. And we have no clue what they are supposed to be based of other than the axes, so it could be either. Or both. As for the name, I guess we'll see how it goes.--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 23:45, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

== Just wanted to throw it out there ==

Bulbasaur + Zygarde = Bulbagarde

Trivia???{{tt|*|I guess probably not, but I just wanted to throw that out there :D}}

== Typing oddity ==

Isn't it rather peculiar how Zygarde, the "Order Pokémon", has a defensive type disadvantage against Fairy and an offensive one against Flying, which are the types of Xerneas and Yveltal, respectively?

--[[User:TheAsianIsGamin|TheAsianIsGamin]] ([[User talk:TheAsianIsGamin|talk]]) 07:25, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
:I wouldn't consider that notable--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 23:33, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
::Well, if they are indeed a trio, isn't it somewhat notable that one of them (The "Order Pokémon", might I add) is weak to the others? --[[User:TheAsianIsGamin|TheAsianIsGamin]] ([[User talk:TheAsianIsGamin|talk]]) 04:36, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Defensive and offensive disadvantages are completely different things. I don't think it's as clearly intentional (and thus notable) as, for example, all of the legendary golems' weakness to Fighting. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:24, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
::::I think that it most likely was intentional. Even though the fact that it is weak to Xerneas is probably not as notable, Xerneas and Yveltal are each immune to one of its types, and I think that that should be noted. (The fact that it is weak to Xerneas isn't as notable because it isn't also weak to Yveltal.) This is just my opinion, though! ^^ [[User:EpicDeino|EpicDeino]] ([[User talk:EpicDeino|talk]]) 07:36, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

== Move levels? ==

How do we know all the levels Zygarde knows its moves? You can't catch it below level 70... {{unsigned|DisgruntledGoat}}
:Most of the other legendaries had their move levels added because they're in [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Articuno_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=2034674&oldid=2034646 a Japanese guidebook], and since Zygarde's were added as part of that round of edits by the same users, I think it's reasonable to assume it was in the guidebook, too, even though nobody has specifically singled it out. Thus, I'll be reinstating the levels for now. If someone with the guidebook wants to confirm whether Zygarde is in it, please speak up. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 14:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Zygarde is in the guidebook. I own the second guide book and every Pokemon officially revealed as of Febuary 2014 is in it. --[[User:AbsolX|AbsolX]] ([[User talk:AbsolX|talk]]) 01:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

== Zygarde Reappearances ==

I believe that Zygarde reappears every time you defeat the Elite Four, just like Mewtwo does. I think this should be researched and noted in the Game Locations section. {{unsigned|NerfPlayeR135}}
:It does indeed respawn if fainted after you defeat the Elite Four. I've confirmed it myself just a moment ago. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 00:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== Zygarde is in a trio with Xerneas and Yveltal ==

Admit it guys, Zygarde is THE most blatantly OBVIOUS Rayquaza Expy to have ever existed. Here's a few things to note here:

*Zygarde has a Green color scheme, while Xerneas and Yveltal have a Blue and Red coloration to match the RGB Color Palette.
*Xerneas and Yveltal are both designed based on the letters X and Y, and the first letters in their names are even those same letters. Zygarde not only is shaped in the manner of a Z due to being a serpent, but also has it's name begin with Z.
*Zygarde's signature ability, Aura Break, ONLY effects Fairy Aura and Dark Aura, which are ONLY known to be available to Xerneas and Yveltal. This isn't too different from Rayquaza in how it cancels out the abilities of the other two members of the trio.
*Xerneas is the Life Pokemon, Yveltal is the Destruction Pokemon, and Zygarde is the Order Pokemon.
*It's PokeDex Entries don't make reference to the other two, but bare in mind, neither did Rayquaza, Giratina, or Kyurem had any references to the others until their versions were released.

With that in mind, I can't see how ANYBODY can believe Zygarde is not related to either of them, as it's so obvious it's painful to say the least. The fact that Zygarde is the ONLY Non-Event Legendary from Kalos other than Xerneas and Yveltal doesn't help matters, and neither Diancie nor the still unconfirmed Volcanion and Hoopa look like they'd be anywhere near related to Xerneas or Yveltal as much as Zygarde does. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 14:04, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
:Zygarde is not with Xerneas and Yveltal, also, we don't talk about hidden Pokémon (except Diancie is already confirmed) so we have to wait in the future until it's confirmed to be in a trio. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 10:19, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::For all we know, Diancie could be in the "trio" if there is one, and not Zygarde. Zygarde might even be in the trio with other hidden Pokémon. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:04, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
:::For God's sake, Zygarde isn't in anyway related to Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion.[[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 10:55, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
::::@Cinday - Sometimes we don't need to wait for evidence. Things kind of things work like postulates - need no proving. What we need in these situations are simply common sense! Just an opinion. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 10:25, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
:::::Now that the various formes of Zygarde have been revealed, and how it was stated to be more powerful than Xerneas and Yveltal, the other two members of it's own trio whom which it's supposed to keep in balance, it's safe to say that I was right this whole time, yes? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] ([[User talk:Shiramu Kuromu|talk]]) 18:56, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
::::::Yes, you were right the whole time, and everyone else knew it too. It's blatantly obvious when its ability literally only affected Yveltal and Xerneas. Your arguments here can be equated to an English student trying to convince their high school teacher that sentences can start with and or but. Everyone knows it, and you're acting like you're the only who's realized. If anything, you're the one that's behind on how things work. The point is that it hasn't been officially recognized, and isn't critical information regarding Zygarde as a Pokemon, so it is unnecessary and possibly detrimental to this encyclopedia that we add irrelevant information such as this. Or at least it was. We can probably add it soon, but not before the connection is solid and integral to Zygarde as an idea/character/whatever you consider an individual Pokemon to be. There's a time and place for everything, but not now. [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 20:49, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

== Source on EV yield ==

The book just has the EV yields. The catch rate and base friendship are not included, unconfirmed, and nearly impossible to test. We can't include those on this site yet. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 05:35, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
:Testing catch rate is very "possible", just very involved. Testing base friendship is child's play by comparison.

== Quite obvious physical appearance once you're aware. ==

Zygarde's appearance is obviously based on a serpent in the shape of a Z as well as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81ga Naga].
Naga are many-headed serpents which appear in Hindu and Buddhist mythology and look like anything from cobras to dragons.
Once you know the Naga, the similarity is undeniable.

== New Form Design Origins ==

I know there is already a ton of discussions about Zygarde's design in this talk section, (this topic can be merged with an already existing one if that's easier) but am I right in assuming that the 3 non-cellular forms are based on the children of Loki (with the giant Angrboða as the mother) in Norse mythology? The 10% form is like the wolf Fenrir, the 'standard' 50% form is based on the world serpent Jörmungandr and the perfect form is akin to the giant Hel.

I have no idea if the DNA cell motif is anything to do with mythology as it is to do with simply being an unknown game mechanic. I don't know anything that could possibly relate to it other then that Loki was a shape shifter (I think he transformed into 5 different forms excluding his true appearance, though this is a stretch)? '''~''' [[User:Evacino|Evacino]] ([[User talk:Evacino|talk]]) 02:05, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
:: Zygarde 10% forme could've also been Garmr, Hel's dog, but Fenrir is more appropriate. And by the way, Zygarde is really apt with the concept of Hel, being the Pokémon of Balance, Hel is usually depicted with half of her body alive and half a corpse, similar to life and death. [[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 09:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

== Perfect is nw Complete ==

Its not Perfect Forme, but Zygard Complete Forme. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 15:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
:The news has only been out an hour or so, the staff will get around to it when they're online I'm sure. --[[User:S2daam|--samm :D]] 15:27, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

== Flatworm ==

With the introduction of Zygarde Core and Cell, it seems likely to me that both of them, in addition to 50% Forme, are based on planarian flatworms, specifically the well-known (well, well-known for flatworms) triangular-headed kind. [[User:Zakitano|Zakitano]] ([[User talk:Zakitano|talk]]) 21:42, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
:: Yes. The Core and Cell formes may have also drawn inspiration from zygotes, cell formations.[[User:Phiraptor28|Phiraptor28]] ([[User talk:Phiraptor28|talk]]) 09:10, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

== Zygarde 10% Stats ==

The Japanese Pokémon website has a bit more on Zygarde's 10% Forme. Height is 1.2 meters. Weight is 33.5 kilograms. And its type is Dragon/Ground.

Source: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/anime-special/pokemon/ [[User:Goldchaos|Goldchaos]] ([[User talk:Goldchaos|talk]]) 06:03, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

== Core and Cell Zygarde ==

Are we sure that the core and cell versions are actual forms? Judging from the descriptions, they just sound like part of Zygarde's anatomy. Perhaps Ash and friends will be taken a trip inside the body of Zygarde? If so, I don't think we should count cell and core Zygarde as forms. [[User:Carcharodon|Carcharodon]] ([[User talk:Carcharodon|talk]]) 18:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
:They've appeared separately from Zygarde in the anime, so I doubt they won't appear separately in the games as well, even if they're not battle capable. Even if that were to occur, they should still be considered a form. {{unsigned|ArtistKyurem}}

== Potential Mortality Trio Learnset Comparison ==

In anticipation for Zygarde's addition to the Mortality Duo, I've added onto the existing learnset comparison from the [[Legendary Duo]] page.

KoiFish: /* Intro */

Hello and welcome to my userpage. Not as active as I used to as of 9/26/2013.
{NOTE} As of the release of Pokemon X and Y, I have stopped going on Bulbapedia for 3 months. This may be due to the fact that I had felt a gloomy feeling when playing my Pokemon Black 2 game. I think Gen 5 went by way too fast. I will never visit the articles telling about a type of pokemon again because it'll only make it worse. However though, I'm still watching the Pokemon episodes and well, not much. I have to say this is a goodbye to Bulbapedia for now as of 11/21/2013. I might never return since how fast things have gone. I cannot take it anymore. If you want to contact me, please e-mail me at kevinkhoii@yahoo.com or you can go on ROBLOX.com and search for my user called InsertWordsHere. Pokemon used to be my childhood, but now it's just missing large chunks of it. Of course, it was never the pokemon creepypastas. I enjoyed reading them a lot.
Now with only Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Black 2 in my house, I do not know what to do now. All I basically have now is just sit here until midnight and type this up. I don't think I will ever return because of how much Pokemon and Nintendo has disappointed me. I could critcize all of the new pokemon, but I think I would be too judgemental. Like I said, I would only watch the episodes. But I noticed how the Unova region series went by too fast. Shortest. series. ever. I have as well noticed how much of a little kid that Ash has been (no offense). I think I just might as well just keep those two games to remember as games from a series that I liked really much, but not anymore. If you don't understand why Nintendo is involved in this, look at what they did to Flipnote Hatena, they shut it down on people like my little sister who didn't have a 3DS for the new Flipnote 3D Studio. Although it may seen it doesn't make sense why I'm saying it here, I quit Pokemon for good. I will never come back to this series ever. Now goodbye and have a good day.

==Mew's abilities==

In the first movie, mew used a bubble of pink psychic energy to save Ash. It also utilized this ability several other times throughout the movie. However, this is not stated in the "special abilities" section, alhtough what is stated is that mew can create forcefields. Forcefields and pink bubbles are two different things, this is best shown by the contrast between Mew "forcefield" in pokemon snap (which is also yellow/green) and Mew's Bubble in the first movie. So does anyone mind if I add in the bit about the pink bubbles? {{unsigned|Wikid}}

Ok so Arceus tottaly conflicts with with mew but arceus came from an egg. What if mew was the egg and therefor is the ancestor of all pokemon mew just didnt "create" any new pokemon. In fact it was never even mentioned (to my knowlage) that he did. So therefor mew remains to look like a embryo (catching drift egg) and we shall never know~kittenchild

Well by my theory and using the myths it states that "...at the heart of chaos where all things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the original one." This states that the egg came before arceus. {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

Ok, this is what happened. First come Arceus. He say "I wanna Dialga and Palkia." And he made them. Next he say "Now i want universe." So he made universe. Next he say "I want living things." So he made Mew who laid eggs of Pokémon, and live-birthed humans. They all got up, but they each had no souls. Arceus say "Imma gonna give you souls." So he maid the lake trio who gave them all souls. Arceus fell asleep. Teh end. You can quote me on that. [[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 16:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:But Mew's Pokédex entry states that it's the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Here's what I think happened:
#The egg of Arceus is created from the chaos.
#The egg hatches.
#The eggshell, which was made of genetic material, forms into Mew. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Arceus.)
#Arceus creates Dialga and Palkia. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Dialga and Palkia.)
#Arceus creates Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.)
#Mew's descendants are all slightly different, and their descendants are slightly more different, and so on, until there are all of the different species of Pokémon. (This makes Mew the ancestor of all other Pokémon.)

Yeah, only a few people in Sinnoh know about other Legendaries living in their own backyard like Cresselia and Heatran. The book in Canalave City apparently refers to Arceus as the "Original One", meaning that Arceus came before Mew.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: General consensus is all that is indicated by the Pokedex. Arceus is known to have created Palkia and Dialga, who in turn created the universe, while he created Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, who are credited with the creation of "spirit". This obviously makes them the progenitors of pokemon and humans. It's also worth noting that they all bear a more-than-superficial resemblance to Mew, all being extraordinarily powerful psychic pokemon. Mew, I believe, was their first collaborative creation, combining the essences of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower into a single entity. It was unstable, so as it laid eggs, they hatched into things that definitely were NOT Mew. That instability diluted acrost generations until pokemon species were all stable (except, of course, Mew). The exemptions to this origin are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio, for obvious reasons; Giratina, likely spontaneously creating itself upon the first death; and Darkrai, created gradually by psychoses, rage, and bad pizza forming nightmares. Shaymin most likely IS Mew-descended as we have no reason to think otherwise. Forgive me for talking so heavily in-universe, and remember all this is prefaced with "I believe...".

Arceus creates the dragon trio and the lake trio.
Giratina disappears into the Ruined World.
Dialga and Palkia create matter, space, and time.
Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit create spirit.
Arceus falls into a deep sleep.
Creation of Pokémon world
Groudon is formed from magma, Kyogre is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, Rayquaza is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
Groudon brings the land, Kyogre expands the sea.
Mew is born.
Groudon and Kyogre battle, destroying nearly all the Hoenn region.
Rayquaza stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Pokémon were fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of Mt. Chimney. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of Mt. Pyre to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.
Rayquaza had fallen into a deep sleep and sealed away into the ancient Sky Pillar.
Mt. Coronet is created.
Regigigas moves the continents.
The Sinnoh region is created around Mt. Coronet
Stark Mountain is created, Heatran is formed from lava. --[[Mew (Pokémon)|M]][[User:MyUU|yU]][[User talk:MyUU|U]] 18:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

This topic has filled up with wonderful speculation (come on, seriosuly? Arceus's egg becoming Mew?), but it hardly matters because there is no conflict. Please note that NEVER has it ever been said that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon; in a Dex entry it said that was ''believed'' to be true because it contains every Pokémon's DNA.

If it had Arceus` DNA, then scientists in the pokemon world would technically know it exists (please excuse any spelling errors)--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight_the_ampharos]] 02:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

::That's what I meant. They wouldn't know what pokémon the DNA belongs to, but I'm sure they would know it wasn't any officialy discovered pokémon, or at least not one they know of.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight_the_ampharos]] 13:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, we don't know if the PokeDex is right, I mean, Oak doesn't know EVERYTHING. Also, no one ever caught Mew, so we don't know if it has all of the DNA of all of the pokemon. I think Arceus created the universe,and the dragon trio and the lake trio, and Arceus set the chain of events that would create the 'nature' Legendaries, like Groudon coming from magma, ect. But what about Deoxys? Where did Deoxys come from. In the anime it says from outer space. So, that would mean that Palkia would have created Deoxys, and Raquaza. {{unsigned|Shadow lucario}}

:First off, Palkia does NOT represent Outer Space. It represents "Space", as in, wormholes, fabrics (Not clothes fabrics, Science fabrics.), "Space/Time Continuum", etc. Secondly, considering how Arceus is listed to be a Pokemon in the Pokedex, not to mention it's data is easily recorded into the Pokedex as well, most likely researchers DO know about Arceus' existance (not just believing, actually knowing it exists and having samples of it's DNA.). So they didn't capture Mew, big whoop. They identified it in the Pokedex, nonetheless. I still think it's Mew who created Arceus, and until they actually clarify what they meant for starting this debate, we still have to think that Arceus was a genetic descendant of Mew, considering Mew's mentions of containing the DNA of Pokemon (Yes, it technically doesn't say "All" in there, but it doesn't say "Some", "Few", "Many", or any of those restrictive nouns either. Plus, using generalizations (Like just saying Pokemon), regardless of whether it actually says "all" or not, usually implies that it's meaning all.

Good point, but as the pokédex states that "many scientists '''believe''' Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon" and Arceus that it is told/described in '''mythology''', my point being that Mew is scientific theory and Arceus its just a myth that he created the universe, just like Zeus. - AOS

I didn't read most of everything said, i just thought i'd put in my bits. Mew seems to me like the "Evolution" in pokemon: they're all evolved down from Mew, because he is the embryo. Like, Mew is the Darwin pokemon they've all evolved from (not pokemon evolution, but Darwin evolution). Arceus, on the other hand, is more of a God figure, which contradicts Evolution. So like... i don't see how they fit in the same world, but Pokemon is quite the odd game, haha!

I'm not so sure that when the programmers put "mew gave birth" into the diary, that that's what they literally meant.

==Initial Design==
I was reading up on Mew over on Wikipedia (they sometimes have more real-world information that I consider more interesting than the in-game stuff) and came across some information that I'm not quite sure if I should believe. It's generally believed that Tajiri secretly designed and inserted Mew into the programming, though Wikipedia claims this:

"Unlike other characters in the Pokémon franchise, Mew was not initially conceived by Ken Sugimori, but by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto. Morimoto programmed Mew into the game secretly, just prior to its release in Japan, intending it to be a Pokémon Game Freak staff members would know about and be able to obtain.[2] However, in the spring of 1996, Game Freak president Satoshi Tajiri used the Japanese manga journal Korokoro Comic as an experimental exhibition of Mew and distributed the first cards for the game as free giveaways,[3] which surprised many at Game Freak, including Morimoto.[2] Due to the success of the experiment on April 15, 1996, Game Freak announced a contest to publicly release Mew to 151 winners.[4] Tajiri described using Mew to create hype around an "invisible character" within the game and to keep interest alive in the title and create rumors and myths about the game passed around by word of mouth,[5] which resulted in increased sales for the game.[6]"

This quotation seems to suggest that a Shigeki Morimoto (who doesn't have an article here) designed Mew in an attempt to have some special secret for the designers, which was then turned into a marketing ploy by Tajiri. Now, if something like this were true I'd be inclined to believe Bulbapedia would have the information for this, yet it doesn't seem to.

The information to confirm or deny this is found on reference [2], yet the page is in Japanese so I cannot read it. All the other citations suggest it was solely Tajiri that planned and implemented Mew. So, can anyone help me with a little research and figure this out?

== Pokemon Event at Space Centre Houston ==

There was a Pokemon Event that was held at Space Centre Houston around the time of Pokemon Sapphire but I don't remember what it was called, though I do remember one thing.

== Trivia Wording ==

A few trivia points mention this idea that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon as fact, even though the only evidence we have for this is Pokédex entries (which are usually treated somewhat apocryphally). Would it be alright for me to reword some of these trivia entries? For example, something to the effect of, "Mew is classified as a "New Species" Pokémon, despite the fact that Pokédex entries show that it is believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon and would therefore be one of the '''oldest''' species."

== Voice ==

There's something sort of mistake with Mew's voice in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Compared to the one in "Pokémon the First Movie" Mew has a different voice in "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" which came out somewhere in 2006, SSBB was realeasd in 2008, but Mew's voice is the same voice from "Pokémon the First Movie" [[User:Pgj1997|Pgj1997]] 17:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

== Not two Mews ==

Never does it say that the Mew in movie 8 is different from the Mew in movie 1. They are one in the same unless you can prove otherwise. Since Mew was the first Pokemon it is unique. We have never seen more than one together and hence we must go with what's given to us and that's Mew is a single Pokemon with no others of it's species. We must change things to reflect this. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 05:05, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:It's two ''separate'' until proven otherwise. Yes, nothing says they're different, but nothing too says they're the same. We've never seen more than one of many Pokémon together, like Togetic, but that doesn't mean there's only one of these Pokémon, legendary or otherwise.

Umm no. Mew has been specifically stated to be the 1st Pokemon and one of a kind in several sources. Ergo there is only one. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. THE MEW. Hence only one exists. Legendary's are supposed to be one of a kind unless later disproven. Mew is ONE UNIQUE Pokemon. More sources and media points to One Mew than two seperate Mews. We need to change all of the Pages Mew is one to unify them. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 09:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:Games =/= Anime. And these two Mew have completely different voice actors. If they were the same, it's very unlikely they would have switched actors. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 09:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Umm correct me if Ima wrong but didn't Ash change voice actors? And since when does the voice acting matter in the characters themselves? And even though Games=anime that doesn't rule out that MORE games point to the same conclusion than the fewer anime canon sources. And your forgetting official handbooks and pokedexes that have been released over the years. All pointing out that Mew is unique. Hence once more there is no real proof that these Mew are different. In fact it's MORE likely they are the same once you see that Movie 8 own plot. Mew is at the tree because it's in danger. That's it. Movie 1 no danger so Mew can move around as it pleases. It makes sense and keeps with MAJORITY canon. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 11:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:On the voice actor thing: Mew uses its Japanese voice. There was no voice actor change in the original Japanese, because there was no company change. Not only that, but the actor that played the Mew in movie 1 actually worked on Movie 8 - He was Sir Aaron. If they were meant to be the same, he'd have likely voiced Mew in movie 8 as well. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::A different actor doesn't mean the character is different... it's quite common to switch actors in movies and stuff. Like, there have been several different actors who have played James Bond and several different actors who have played Bruce Wayne, etc., and these are always portraying the same character (in other words, there aren't multiple British agents named "James Bond" with the number 007 or multiple millionaires living in Gotham going by the name "Bruce Wayne"). Yes, I admit that it's odd that a new actor would be used when the old actor who is capable of playing Mew is working on the same movie, but that still doesn't necesarily make them different characters. That being said, I do think that they are separate. The Mew in the eighth movie used Transform -- an attack that the Mew in the first movie was never shown to have. Perhaps this is because Mew had no reason to Transform in the first movie, but I find it more likely that it's because she was unable to... and Transform is learned at a low level so there's no way she could have just learned it between the two movies. I haven't seen enough of the eighth movie to have any more of an opinion on it, but I think that one detail is enough. Also, it is certainly possible that there could be two Mews in the anime... unlike the games, the legendary Pokémon in the anime are not "one of a kind" (well, not all of them anyway). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

== Theory on the Origin Of all Pokémon ==

I have been thinking on this for a while. Consider the relationship between Mew and Ditto.
They both have the same coloration, even their Shiny forms. They are the only Pokémon
to learn Transform (Smeargle via Sketch doesn't count).

So: Mew, all alone, creates a gel-like substance and begins to shape Arceus. Arceus creates
the 16 elemental Plates, then Mew combines the gel and the Plates with the assistance of
Arceus, shaping Dialga (Draco Plate, Iron Plate) Palkia (Draco Plate, Splash Plate), and
Giratina (Draco Plate, Spooky Plate). Those 3 shape Time, Space, and Distortion World,
respectively.

Mew lastly finishes making rest of the Pokémon, again with the gel and the Plates. Thus, we
have the universe and beings to inhabit it. The remaining gel turns into Ditto, keeping
the coloring of Mew and its ability to use Transform.

Anyone want to point out the holes in this theory? I know it's not 100% solid, but it
might be considered plausible, albeit the fact that there is almost zero evidence to
support it. [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:It's plausible, but the simple fact that it's a theory means it has no place on this page. It's similarities to Ditto are already stated in the trivia, otherwise, this is more forum material. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 03:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Egg cycles? ==

On the list of [[Egg cycles]] Mew's is listed as 121, but in this article it says 2. Obviously they can't both be right, so could anyone confirm which one is correct?

==Mew to Ditto comparison==
It says that Mew and Ditto are the same colour... this is false. Ditto is Purple. I don't have a Mew in my Pokédex but I'm assuming she's Pink. I'm not editing it in case I read it wrong or something and it means something else, but someone should look into this (either correct it if it's wrong or clarify it because it doesn't make much sense). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

==Mew first being made vs. the trademark==
I know similar things have been pointed out, but there's still a problem here... "''Tsunekaz Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.''" contradicts "''Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990''".

Completion of the game development (implying a working version of the game... not just concepts and ideas) definitely came later than 1990. So how could Mew's trademark have been applied for before he was even created? I am aware that companies sometimes trademark things that they don't plan on using, but trademarking a name means that there had to have been some sort of thought process behind it (like, if I was making an RPG I wouldn't just apply for trademarks willy-nilly on random names that have nothing to do with the game on the off-chance that I'll later create a character fitting the name).

The only way I can see these things as not contradicting each other would be if either one is inaccurate or if you were to interpret "created Mew" as "made the finishing touches on Mew" or "finalized the character" rather than the idea of "creating" Mew (as in, starting with nothing and just coming up with the whole idea 2 weeks before game development was finished). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:Only the trademark was issued in 1990. [[Satoshi Tajiri]] or someone else may have conceived Mew as a [[Capsule Monsters]] design (development on this first began in 1990), but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove that (at least no one seems to have access to the other 200+ 'Capumon' sketches). Capsule Monsters was actually quite a different concept to the game that would eventually become Pokémon, as the player was meant to live alongside Pokémon and players would rely on them (for example, they would use {{p|Lapras}} for transport) and they would help each other with tasks, as opposed to training them or collecting them for use in battle. The player was going to fight by himself at one point. (my source are some interviews translated by [http://www.glitterberri.com Glitterberri], but the site is unfortunately down at the moment). Mew could have also been something entirely different at the time.

:Yes, Mew was a "last minute" addition to {{2v2|Red|Green}}. It may have been an early design, but was actually programmed into the game very lately. Unlike {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, there isn't much free space available in Red and Green, because it's only a 512KB cartridge. According to an [http://web.archive.org/web/20101125182143/http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks interview] around the development of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there were some debugging features remaining in the game, so Morimoto removed those features to create 300 bytes of free space, and then placed some data for Mew in there. This may be supported by the [[Pokémon base stats data structure in Generation I#Storage|Pokémon base stats structure]], in which Mew's base stats are stored at offset 0x00425B. The base stats data normally follow on by Pokédex entry at 0x0383DE starting from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, yet Mew's base stats data do not follow on from {{p|Mewtwo}}. They do, however in {{game|Yellow}}. I suspect it's probably the same case in Red and Green, though I haven't checked. I personally believe Mew replaced one of the Missingno. occupying index number 21 (0x15). --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 13:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::Chances are Mew was designed well before the time it was put in the game. We already know that Missingno. used to be real Pokémon; Mew was likely one of the deleted 50, then undeleted.

== Trivia 2 ==

"Though it comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, it has to have been discovered before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is Mew's clone."

it doesn't have to have been discovered SCIENTFICIALLY (what the pokedex is based off, research by proffessors), a lot of the experts were sceptical of its existence thinking it was a mirage.

mewtwo was formed out of a piece of Mew's DNA, some form of feather thing, which means it would of been studied before Mew - Camero56

== You can trade Mew in Pokémon Diamond ==
So it says that you can only get a Mew from Pokémon Ranch in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, this is not entirely true. I got my Mew from Pokémon Ranch, then I cloned it using the Pokémon Ranch clone trick. Then I went and put one of the Mews up for trade on the GTS and was able to trade it for another Pokémon of my choosing. It seems though that I can only trade a Mew to a trainer in Japan. I'm testing now to see if someone can send me a Mew from Japan. I'll fill you all in when it either does or doesn't happen. But, you definitely can trade a Mew to someone in Japan. That I know for sure. --[[User:Bokeatong|Bokeatong]] ([[User talk:Bokeatong|talk]]) 23:33, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

==Mew's abilities==

In the first movie, mew used a bubble of pink psychic energy to save Ash. It also utilized this ability several other times throughout the movie. However, this is not stated in the "special abilities" section, alhtough what is stated is that mew can create forcefields. Forcefields and pink bubbles are two different things, this is best shown by the contrast between Mew "forcefield" in pokemon snap (which is also yellow/green) and Mew's Bubble in the first movie.

::::...I know Arceus is a Pokémon i was just saying :\ Look. The way i see it, Arceus came first, created Mew, and Mew became the other Pokémon (not like, the Legendaries). Just because it's the ancestor of all Pokémon doesn't mean it's the ansector of the God Pokémon, i'm sure Mew isn't the ancestor of the Legendaries as it says Arceus created Palkia, Diagla and Giratina and some others (if i remember rightly!).

No noo noo. I meant mew hatched arceus (being the egg and all) and therefor because mew "created" (not realy) arceus' gentic meterial then arceus went to create the rest of the pokemon that genetic meterial caried over and mew never realy did squat... {{unsigned|Kittenchild}}

Ok, this is what happened. First come Arceus. He say "I wanna Dialga and Palkia." And he made them. Next he say "Now i want universe." So he made universe. Next he say "I want living things." So he made Mew who laid eggs of Pokémon, and live-birthed humans. They all got up, but they each had no souls. Arceus say "Imma gonna give you souls." So he maid the lake trio who gave them all souls. Arceus fell asleep. Teh end. You can quote me on that. [[User:LordKaien|LordKaien]] 16:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
:But Mew's Pokédex entry states that it's the ancestor of ''all'' Pokémon. Here's what I think happened:
#The egg of Arceus is created from the chaos.
#The egg hatches.
#The eggshell, which was made of genetic material, forms into Mew. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Arceus.)
#Arceus creates Dialga and Palkia. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Dialga and Palkia.)
#Arceus creates Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (This makes Mew the ancestor of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.)
#Mew's descendants are all slightly different, and their descendants are slightly more different, and so on, until there are all of the different species of Pokémon. (This makes Mew the ancestor of all other Pokémon.)

Yeah, only a few people in Sinnoh know about other Legendaries living in their own backyard like Cresselia and Heatran. The book in Canalave City apparently refers to Arceus as the "Original One", meaning that Arceus came before Mew.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 20:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:: General consensus is all that is indicated by the Pokedex. Arceus is known to have created Palkia and Dialga, who in turn created the universe, while he created Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, who are credited with the creation of "spirit". This obviously makes them the progenitors of pokemon and humans. It's also worth noting that they all bear a more-than-superficial resemblance to Mew, all being extraordinarily powerful psychic pokemon. Mew, I believe, was their first collaborative creation, combining the essences of Knowledge, Emotion and Willpower into a single entity. It was unstable, so as it laid eggs, they hatched into things that definitely were NOT Mew. That instability diluted acrost generations until pokemon species were all stable (except, of course, Mew). The exemptions to this origin are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and the Lake Trio, for obvious reasons; Giratina, likely spontaneously creating itself upon the first death; and Darkrai, created gradually by psychoses, rage, and bad pizza forming nightmares. Shaymin most likely IS Mew-descended as we have no reason to think otherwise. Forgive me for talking so heavily in-universe, and remember all this is prefaced with "I believe...".

Arceus creates the dragon trio and the lake trio.
Giratina disappears into the Ruined World.
Dialga and Palkia create matter, space, and time.
Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit create spirit.
Arceus falls into a deep sleep.
Creation of Pokémon world
Groudon is formed from magma, Kyogre is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, Rayquaza is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer.
Groudon brings the land, Kyogre expands the sea.
Mew is born.
Groudon and Kyogre battle, destroying nearly all the Hoenn region.
Rayquaza stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Pokémon were fallen into deep sleep: Kyogre was sealed into the Deep-Sea Seafloor cavern, and Groudon was sealed on the Mystic caves of Mt. Chimney. Red and Blue Orbs were created and guarded in the high peaks of Mt. Pyre to prevent the awakening of Kyogre and Groudon which will start into a battle.
Rayquaza had fallen into a deep sleep and sealed away into the ancient Sky Pillar.
Mt. Coronet is created.
Regigigas moves the continents.
The Sinnoh region is created around Mt. Coronet
Stark Mountain is created, Heatran is formed from lava. --[[Mew (Pokémon)|M]][[User:MyUU|yU]][[User talk:MyUU|U]] 18:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

This topic has filled up with wonderful speculation (come on, seriosuly? Arceus's egg becoming Mew?), but it hardly matters because there is no conflict. Please note that NEVER has it ever been said that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon; in a Dex entry it said that was ''believed'' to be true because it contains every Pokémon's DNA.

So... What if Mew was the first one? I mean, Arceus could have made universe, time, space, dimentions, etc. but mew made dialga, palkia, giratina... Also, life was made by mew, earth was made by the weather trio, and the life in it was made by mew, so it is the ancestor of everyone, maybe arceus doesnt have mews dna, as noone in the pokemon world knows about it... so scientist could say that of the 492 pokemon known, mew has dna of every... couldn't it be?- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Kamusioso|Kamusioso]] ([[User talk:Kamusioso|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kamusioso|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Here`s my opinion: It is possible that Mew was the first pokemon created by Arceus, and therefore has the DNA of all the OTHER pokemon.

Well, we don't know if the PokeDex is right, I mean, Oak doesn't know EVERYTHING. Also, no one ever caught Mew, so we don't know if it has all of the DNA of all of the pokemon. I think Arceus created the universe,and the dragon trio and the lake trio, and Arceus set the chain of events that would create the 'nature' Legendaries, like Groudon coming from magma, ect. But what about Deoxys? Where did Deoxys come from. In the anime it says from outer space. So, that would mean that Palkia would have created Deoxys, and Raquaza. {{unsigned|Shadow lucario}}

:First off, Palkia does NOT represent Outer Space. It represents "Space", as in, wormholes, fabrics (Not clothes fabrics, Science fabrics.), "Space/Time Continuum", etc. Secondly, considering how Arceus is listed to be a Pokemon in the Pokedex, not to mention it's data is easily recorded into the Pokedex as well, most likely researchers DO know about Arceus' existance (not just believing, actually knowing it exists and having samples of it's DNA.). So they didn't capture Mew, big whoop. They identified it in the Pokedex, nonetheless. I still think it's Mew who created Arceus, and until they actually clarify what they meant for starting this debate, we still have to think that Arceus was a genetic descendant of Mew, considering Mew's mentions of containing the DNA of Pokemon (Yes, it technically doesn't say "All" in there, but it doesn't say "Some", "Few", "Many", or any of those restrictive nouns either. Plus, using generalizations (Like just saying Pokemon), regardless of whether it actually says "all" or not, usually implies that it's meaning all.

I didn't read most of everything said, i just thought i'd put in my bits. Mew seems to me like the "Evolution" in pokemon: they're all evolved down from Mew, because he is the embryo. Like, Mew is the Darwin pokemon they've all evolved from (not pokemon evolution, but Darwin evolution). Arceus, on the other hand, is more of a God figure, which contradicts Evolution. So like... i don't see how they fit in the same world, but Pokemon is quite the odd game, haha!

==Initial Design==
I was reading up on Mew over on Wikipedia (they sometimes have more real-world information that I consider more interesting than the in-game stuff) and came across some information that I'm not quite sure if I should believe. It's generally believed that Tajiri secretly designed and inserted Mew into the programming, though Wikipedia claims this:

"Unlike other characters in the Pokémon franchise, Mew was not initially conceived by Ken Sugimori, but by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto. Morimoto programmed Mew into the game secretly, just prior to its release in Japan, intending it to be a Pokémon Game Freak staff members would know about and be able to obtain.[2] However, in the spring of 1996, Game Freak president Satoshi Tajiri used the Japanese manga journal Korokoro Comic as an experimental exhibition of Mew and distributed the first cards for the game as free giveaways,[3] which surprised many at Game Freak, including Morimoto.[2] Due to the success of the experiment on April 15, 1996, Game Freak announced a contest to publicly release Mew to 151 winners.[4] Tajiri described using Mew to create hype around an "invisible character" within the game and to keep interest alive in the title and create rumors and myths about the game passed around by word of mouth,[5] which resulted in increased sales for the game.[6]"

This quotation seems to suggest that a Shigeki Morimoto (who doesn't have an article here) designed Mew in an attempt to have some special secret for the designers, which was then turned into a marketing ploy by Tajiri. Now, if something like this were true I'd be inclined to believe Bulbapedia would have the information for this, yet it doesn't seem to.

The information to confirm or deny this is found on reference [2], yet the page is in Japanese so I cannot read it. All the other citations suggest it was solely Tajiri that planned and implemented Mew. So, can anyone help me with a little research and figure this out?

Never does it say that the Mew in movie 8 is different from the Mew in movie 1. They are one in the same unless you can prove otherwise. Since Mew was the first Pokemon it is unique.

Umm no. Mew has been specifically stated to be the 1st Pokemon and one of a kind in several sources. Ergo there is only one. Mewtwo was a clone of Mew. THE MEW. Hence only one exists. Legendary's are supposed to be one of a kind unless later disproven. Mew is ONE UNIQUE Pokemon. More sources and media points to One Mew than two seperate Mews.

Umm correct me if Ima wrong but didn't Ash change voice actors? And since when does the voice acting matter in the characters themselves? And even though Games=anime that doesn't rule out that MORE games point to the same conclusion than the fewer anime canon sources. And your forgetting official handbooks and pokedexes that have been released over the years. All pointing out that Mew is unique. Hence once more there is no real proof that these Mew are different. In fact it's MORE likely they are the same once you see that Movie 8 own plot. Mew is at the tree because it's in danger. That's it. Movie 1 no danger so Mew can move around as it pleases. It makes sense and keeps with MAJORITY canon. [[User:Genemaxwell4|Genemaxwell4]] 11:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:On the voice actor thing: Mew uses its Japanese voice. There was no voice actor change in the original Japanese, because there was no company change. Not only that, but the actor that played the Mew in movie 1 actually worked on Movie 8 - He was Sir Aaron. If they were meant to be the same, he'd have likely voiced Mew in movie 8 as well. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:47, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::A different actor doesn't mean the character is different... it's quite common to switch actors in movies and stuff. Like, there have been several different actors who have played James Bond and several different actors who have played Bruce Wayne, etc., and these are always portraying the same character (in other words, there aren't multiple British agents named "James Bond" with the number 007 or multiple millionaires living in Gotham going by the name "Bruce Wayne"). Yes, I admit that it's odd that a new actor would be used when the old actor who is capable of playing Mew is working on the same movie, but that still doesn't necesarily make them different characters. That being said, I do think that they are separate. The Mew in the eighth movie used Transform -- an attack that the Mew in the first movie was never shown to have. Perhaps this is because Mew had no reason to Transform in the first movie, but I find it more likely that it's because she was unable to... and Transform is learned at a low level so there's no way she could have just learned it between the two movies. I haven't seen enough of the eighth movie to have any more of an opinion on it, but I think that one detail is enough. Also, it is certainly possible that there could be two Mews in the anime... unlike the games, the legendary Pokémon in the anime are not "one of a kind" (well, not all of them anyway). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

== Theory on the Origin Of all Pokémon ==

I have been thinking on this for a while. Consider the relationship between Mew and Ditto.
They both have the same coloration, even their Shiny forms. They are the only Pokémon
to learn Transform (Smeargle via Sketch doesn't count).

So: Mew, all alone, creates a gel-like substance and begins to shape Arceus. Arceus creates
the 16 elemental Plates, then Mew combines the gel and the Plates with the assistance of
Arceus, shaping Dialga (Draco Plate, Iron Plate) Palkia (Draco Plate, Splash Plate), and
Giratina (Draco Plate, Spooky Plate). Those 3 shape Time, Space, and Distortion World,
respectively.

Mew lastly finishes making rest of the Pokémon, again with the gel and the Plates. Thus, we
have the universe and beings to inhabit it. The remaining gel turns into Ditto, keeping
the coloring of Mew and its ability to use Transform.

Anyone want to point out the holes in this theory? I know it's not 100% solid, but it
might be considered plausible, albeit the fact that there is almost zero evidence to
support it. [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 02:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:It's plausible, but the simple fact that it's a theory means it has no place on this page. It's similarities to Ditto are already stated in the trivia, otherwise, this is more forum material. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] 03:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

==Mew to Ditto comparison==
It says that Mew and Ditto are the same colour... this is false. Ditto is Purple. I don't have a Mew in my Pokédex but I'm assuming she's Pink. I'm not editing it in case I read it wrong or something and it means something else, but someone should look into this (either correct it if it's wrong or clarify it because it doesn't make much sense).

==Mew first being made vs. the trademark==
I know similar things have been pointed out, but there's still a problem here... "''Tsunekaz Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.''" contradicts "''Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990''".

Completion of the game development (implying a working version of the game... not just concepts and ideas) definitely came later than 1990. So how could Mew's trademark have been applied for before he was even created? I am aware that companies sometimes trademark things that they don't plan on using, but trademarking a name means that there had to have been some sort of thought process behind it (like, if I was making an RPG I wouldn't just apply for trademarks willy-nilly on random names that have nothing to do with the game on the off-chance that I'll later create a character fitting the name).

The only way I can see these things as not contradicting each other would be if either one is inaccurate or if you were to interpret "created Mew" as "made the finishing touches on Mew" or "finalized the character" rather than the idea of "creating" Mew (as in, starting with nothing and just coming up with the whole idea 2 weeks before game development was finished). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:Only the trademark was issued in 1990. [[Satoshi Tajiri]] or someone else may have conceived Mew as a [[Capsule Monsters]] design (development on this first began in 1990), but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove that (at least no one seems to have access to the other 200+ 'Capumon' sketches). Capsule Monsters was actually quite a different concept to the game that would eventually become Pokémon, as the player was meant to live alongside Pokémon and players would rely on them (for example, they would use {{p|Lapras}} for transport) and they would help each other with tasks, as opposed to training them or collecting them for use in battle. The player was going to fight by himself at one point. (my source are some interviews translated by [http://www.glitterberri.com Glitterberri], but the site is unfortunately down at the moment). Mew could have also been something entirely different at the time.

:Yes, Mew was a "last minute" addition to {{2v2|Red|Green}}. It may have been an early design, but was actually programmed into the game very lately. Unlike {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, there isn't much free space available in Red and Green, because it's only a 512KB cartridge. According to an [http://web.archive.org/web/20101125182143/http://nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks interview] around the development of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there were some debugging features remaining in the game, so Morimoto removed those features to create 300 bytes of free space, and then placed some data for Mew in there. This may be supported by the [[Pokémon base stats data structure in Generation I#Storage|Pokémon base stats structure]], in which Mew's base stats are stored at offset 0x00425B. The base stats data normally follow on by Pokédex entry at 0x0383DE starting from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, yet Mew's base stats data do not follow on from {{p|Mewtwo}}. They do, however in {{game|Yellow}}. I suspect it's probably the same case in Red and Green, though I haven't checked. I personally believe Mew replaced one of the Missingno. occupying index number 21 (0x15). --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 13:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::Chances are Mew was designed well before the time it was put in the game. We already know that Missingno. used to be real Pokémon; Mew was likely one of the deleted 50, then undeleted.

== Reveal? ==

Does anyone remember the date Mew was officially revealed by Nintendo? - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 18:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
:April 1996, in [[CoroCoro]] as part of the Legendary Pokémon Offer. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:43, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
::I think this information should be included in the article. The specific date would be 15 April 1996, then? - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 16:09, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Not sure about the 15 part. It is possible that CoroCoro have changed their release day in the past 16 years. However, I do agree with adding it to the article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia 2 ==

"Though it comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, it has to have been discovered before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is Mew's clone."

it doesn't have to have been discovered SCIENTFICIALLY (what the pokedex is based off, research by proffessors), a lot of the experts were sceptical of its existence thinking it was a mirage.

mewtwo was formed out of a piece of Mew's DNA, some form of feather thing, which means it would of been studied before Mew - Camero56
:It was an eyelash. And If they were to study Mewtwo, they would have had to have studied Mew's DNA first to be able to clone it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:17, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

== Diet? ==

First, the article says that Mew looks like an animal called a jerboa (which it does), then it says that no terrestrial creature resembles it.I'm confused... NavyTheGlitch 01:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

== You can trade Mew in Pokémon Diamond ==
So it says that you can only get a Mew from Pokémon Ranch in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, this is not entirely true. I got my Mew from Pokémon Ranch, then I cloned it using the Pokémon Ranch clone trick. Then I went and put one of the Mews up for trade on the GTS and was able to trade it for another Pokémon of my choosing. It seems though that I can only trade a Mew to a trainer in Japan. I'm testing now to see if someone can send me a Mew from Japan. I'll fill you all in when it either does or doesn't happen. But, you definitely can trade a Mew to someone in Japan. That I know for sure. --[[User:Bokeatong|Bokeatong]] ([[User talk:Bokeatong|talk]]) 23:33, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

You can trade a Mew in any country it seems. Both GTS and Union Hall. --[[User:Bokeatong|Bokeatong]] ([[User talk:Bokeatong|talk]]) 07:02, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
== Unneeded info ==
As you can see, on where you can find Mew in Generation I, crazox99 has added some unneeded info as he was told not to do so and since I can't remove it, I would like to request if someone could remove the unneeded info that would make Bulbapedia look bad to the people look at the info on the articles.

'''Flash''' (Japanese: '''フラッシュ''' ''Flash'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. In the first three generations, it was [[HM05]], but in [[Generation IV]], it was changed to [[TM70]].

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I-III====
Flash decreases the target's {{stat|accuracy}} stat by one stage.

The accuracy of Flash is 70% in these generations.

====Generation IV onward====
The accuracy of Flash changes to 100%. All other effects are the same.

===Outside of battle===
Outside of battle, Flash will illuminate dark caves. The effect will last until the player exits the cave. When the player re-enters the cave, it will be dark again.

In [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it will light up the entire screen. In other games, it only illuminates a large circle around the player.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Emerald}}, Flash is used to open the [[Ancient Tomb]], the area in which {{p|Registeel}} resides. Flash is also used on the second floor of [[Abyssal Ruins]] to proceed to the next floor.
* Flash is the only move of the five original [[HM]] moves to lose its HM status. Even as an HM, Flash was never required to advance gameplay, as darkened [[cave]]s are still navigable without the move.
** As Flash is not completely required, it is similar to {{m|Defog}}, which replaced it in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. The most notable difference is that although both foggy areas and dark caves can be more difficult to navigate, a dark area has no effect on the battles that take place there, whilst {{weather|fog}} reduces the {{stat|accuracy}} of all battlers.
* {{p|Volbeat}} is the only Pokémon capable of learning Flash naturally.
* Flash will still be in effect in a dark [[cave]] whenever you make a [[Pokémon]] forget Flash in the cave.

'''Zinzolin''' (Japanese: '''ヴィオ''' ''Vio'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]].

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Team Plasma B2W2 opening.png|image|thumb|Zinzolin alongside two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunt}}s and a member of the [[Shadow Triad]] in the opening of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].]]
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Zinzolin first appears in the [[Cold Storage]] with other {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, who were planning something. During that time, he had complained about the cold and when the player and [[Cheren]] appeared, he ordered the grunts to drive them away. When they failed, [[Clay]] and several {{tc|Worker}}s arrived and arrested him and the Grunts. Later, in [[Driftveil City]], [[Ghetsis]] came and forced Clay to release them. At [[N's Castle]], he and the other [[Seven Sages|sages]] (except Ghetsis) appeared to block the player's way to [[N]]. However, he and the other sages were confronted by the [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Unova League]] (except [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]), who held up the sages to allow the player to pass.

After defeating [[Ghetsis]], Zinzolin can be found at the Cold Storage. He remarks on how odd the player is and tells the player about his thoughts, then gives the player {{TM|01|Hone Claws}}. When [[Looker]] arrives to arrest him, he goes willingly.

Zinzolin reappears as a major antagonist in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. He has joined the new Team Plasma formed by Ghetsis and now acts as one of the group's public leaders, along with [[Colress]]. Though he appears several times, usually when the {{player}} has major confrontations with Team Plasma, Zinzolin is not fought until the player reaches [[Lacunosa Town]]. He confronts the player after Team Plasma uses the [[Plasma Frigate]] and {{p|Kyurem}} to freeze [[Opelucid City]]. He is also seen in the [[Giant Chasm]] leading Ghetsis's forces against [[Rood]] and several members of the original Team Plasma opposing them.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and defeats [[Hugh]] in [[Undella Town]], Zinzolin appears there, dressed in new set of robes. He expresses remorse for his actions and gives the player books of Ghetsis's research that allow translation of the messages in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. He will give the player a [[Big Pearl]] upon returning from the end of the Abyssal Ruins, and depart.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Black and White====
=====At the Cold Storage=====
:''"All of you--huddle around me! I can't take this cold..."''
:''"Pokémon are our king's friends. While we're taking care of them, we can't let any harm come to them here. Everyone, drive these intruders away!"''

=====At Driftveil City=====
:''"Ghetsis... Thank you very much..."''

=====At N's Castle=====
:''"There are not two suns in the sky, nor two sovereigns over the people."''
:''"It is the way of the universe to take from excess and fill emptiness. Taking Pokémon from people is restoring balance to nature!"''

=====At the Cold Storage=====
:''"So, you returned? You're an odd Trainer. All right. I've got time enough to satisfy your curiosity."''
:''"...Breathing. Having a heart that beats. That is simple existence and nothing more for a living being. That may be the definition of living, but I don't think that defines life."''
:''"The experiences of joy and suffering are a vital part of being alive. Ghetsis gave me the sensation of being truly alive... What did he mean to accomplish? That isn't what's important."''
:''"Right now, I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive."''
:''"Pokémon and people live by being together and relying on one another. That might be how you feel. If that's so, is it necessary to separate people and Pokémon? By talking to you, I've discovered that there's much I need to think about... I wish I had more to give you in thanks... Here, take [[TM01|this]]."''
:''"My lord N said that he wanted to make Pokémon perfect... But, even if the relationship between Pokémon and people stayed as it now is, Pokémon can aspire to perfection..."''
:''"It's too cold and I'm already tired of shivering in here. If you'll give me some time to think, I'll tell you what I know. So...take me with you."''

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{incomplete|section|Missing post-game Undella Town quotes}} 
=====[[Plasma Frigate]] – [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]]=====
: ''"What is going on?"''
: ''"YOU! Once again, we will use the [[legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and we will rule the Unova region! Curious Trainers, we shall not let you run around as you please!"''
: ''"[[Shadow Triad]]! Get them out of here!"''
: ''"I know! But kick them out of here now!"''

=====[[Lacunosa Town]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"Oh, for crying out loud… This is troublesome indeed, my curious Trainers. Perhaps I should satiate your curiosity somewhat. The reason I am still part of Team Plasma is this: I want to know how the world will change. Listen. Pokémon are nature. [[Poké Ball]]s are civilization. Humans who are used to civilization don't relinquish it easily. Of course, both nature and civilization are important. But what will happen to a world taken over by Team Plasma? People will be forced to throw out Poké Balls--a product of civilization. I want to know what that looks like! And I want to enjoy it!"''

* When defeated
: ''"That pressure I felt from you just now… What was that?!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"These Trainers remind me of that one from two years ago. More important, we must continue our search. Like that scientist said, it might be in [[Opelucid City]]! We'll play with you again later!"''

=====[[Opelucid City]]=====
: ''"I don't think that's going to work."''
: ''"It's bitter cold. I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive! It's what the essence of life feels like! It's proof of my existence! But that's enough of philosophy. Here are the facts for your admiration: This ice was specially created by Team Plasma's technology. As long as we have our secret weapon, you'll never be able to melt or break this ice! Let me explain our purpose here. [[Drayden]], hand over the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}! Opelucid City is a city where the past and the future are entwined. Could there be a more perfect place for the splicers that connect the separated Pokémon?"''
: ''"Humph. That's what I thought you'd say. At this point, I'd like to threaten you with another volley of ice, but we can't use it for a moment… Sigh. It won't be enjoyable in this cold, but I guess we'll just search for them."''

=====In front of the [[Opelucid Gym]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"Oh, for crying out loud… I didn't expect to have to fight hampered by cold like this. Well, no matter! The fact that I'm shivering means I'm truly alive!"''

* When defeated
: ''"Have you gotten even stronger than you were in Lacunosa Town? How, in such a brief amount of time…"''

* After being defeated
: ''"You're a strong Trainer. You definitely are adept at handling Pokémon. I believe I'll take my leave, simply because I can't stand this cold. But…imagine this… A Unova region…completely…covered…in…ice. To achieve that splendor, we'll do whatever it takes to obtain the DNA Splicers."''

=====Plasma Frigate – {{rt|21|Unova}}=====
* Before battle
: ''"You're an impressive Trainer to have made it this far. Since you went to such trouble to come here, I'll show you something. This is… '''The [[legendary Pokémon]] of ice! Its name is {{p|Kyurem}}!'''"''
: ''"The ice missiles we fired into Opelucid City were created with Kyurem's power and Team Plasma's technology! Well… You could become a threat to Team Plasma, so we will eliminate you here!"''
: ''"Hmph! We'll simply eliminate both of you!"''

* When defeated
: ''"The longer you live, the more opportunities for failure."''

* After being defeated
: ''"Hmph. You're a smarter Trainer than I expected. If you've got that much sense, why did you do something as dangerous as sneaking into our base?"''
: ''"If it's just a {{p|Purrloin}}, someone probably stole it and is using it. Why can't you understand? There are other Purrloin. Why are you so fixated on this one?"''
: ''"An individual's feelings… To you, that's probably a matter of great importance. But from the perspective of other people, it is a trifling matter indeed. Compare those feelings against the majesty of this ship! This ship itself is a device that uses the Pokémon Kyurem's power! With this ship, this time we will conquer Unova! It looks like Kyurem has fully recovered. We'll put the DNA Splicers to good use. I'll let you take care of them, Shadow Triad!"''

=====Plasma Frigate – [[Giant Chasm]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"The device is indestructible! You will never be able to release Kyurem! You don't have the sense to know when to quit, it seems. It's an act of mercy on my part to bring this to an end now!"''

* When defeated
: ''"It is the same for anyone… As long as you are dreaming, the dream will never reveal itself to you."''

* After being defeated
: ''"Beaten again?! No matter! Team Plasma will get the last laugh!"''

=====Undella Town=====
*After defeating [[Hugh]]
: ''"Mmm, it's so warm here. Let me get to the point. I have papers that [[Lord Ghetsis]] left behind. With these, you can read the ancient scripts in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. As my own small, little way to atone for my sins, I'll read them to you!(<player> is now able to read the [[Abyssal Ruins]] script!).

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Zinzolin Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Zinzolin in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Three years prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Zinzolin was recruited by Ghetsis as a member of the Seven Sages. When Gorm was given the task on finding information on the legendary Dragon Pokémon, an annoyed Zinzolin stated that he should have been given the task, as he had already gathered information on them. Before he could speak any further, he was silenced by Ghetsis.

Zinzolin first appears in ''[[ABW07|Letting Go]]'' along with the other sages. In [[ABW31]], Zinzolin appeared at the [[Cold Storage]] after {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Cheren}} had defeated two Team Plasma Grunts. He praises the Trainers for their strength and disappears with the help of an ice mirror.

Later, Zinzolin appears as a participant in the Unova Pokémon League. There, he disguises himself in his game counterpart's Black 2 and White 2 clothing sans Team Plasma logo and wears a visor over his eyes. Going by the fake name Gray (Japanese: '''グレイ'''), Zinzolin makes it to the top 8 and is set against [[Iris]] as his opponent in the quarterfinals. While battling, he is seen as maniacal about the cold, and uses one of his {{p|Cryogonal}}'s techniques to trap Iris's {{p|Fraxure}} in ice chains. However, Iris is able to counter this move through her training with [[Brycen]] and eventually defeats Zinzolin.

==Trivia==
* In Black and White, Zinzolin quotes a proverb from ''{{wp|Mencius (book)|Mencius}}'' and a line from ''{{wp|Tao Te Ching}}'' at N's Castle.
* Zinzolin can be seen as Rood's parallel in that Zinzolin is a sage who decided to join the sect that remains loyal to Ghetsis while Rood joins the other sect that is loyal to N.

'''Zinzolin''' (Japanese: '''ヴィオ''' ''Vio'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]].

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Team Plasma B2W2 opening.png|image|thumb|Zinzolin alongside two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Plasma Grunt}}s and a member of the [[Shadow Triad]] in the opening of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].]]
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Zinzolin first appears in the [[Cold Storage]] with other {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, who were planning something. During that time, he had complained about the cold and when the player and [[Cheren]] appeared, he ordered the grunts to drive them away. When they failed, [[Clay]] and several {{tc|Worker}}s arrived and arrested him and the Grunts. Later, in [[Driftveil City]], [[Ghetsis]] came and forced Clay to release them. At [[N's Castle]], he and the other [[Seven Sages|sages]] (except Ghetsis) appeared to block the player's way to [[N]]. However, he and the other sages were confronted by the [[Gym Leader]]s of the [[Unova League]] (except [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]), who held up the sages to allow the player to pass.

After defeating [[Ghetsis]], Zinzolin can be found at the Cold Storage. He remarks on how odd the player is and tells the player about his thoughts, then gives the player {{TM|01|Hone Claws}}. When [[Looker]] arrives to arrest him, he goes willingly.

Zinzolin reappears as a major antagonist in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. He has joined the new Team Plasma formed by Ghetsis and now acts as one of the group's public leaders, along with [[Colress]]. Though he appears several times, usually when the {{player}} has major confrontations with Team Plasma, Zinzolin is not fought until the player reaches [[Lacunosa Town]]. He confronts the player after Team Plasma uses the [[Plasma Frigate]] and {{p|Kyurem}} to freeze [[Opelucid City]]. He is also seen in the [[Giant Chasm]] leading Ghetsis's forces against [[Rood]] and several members of the original Team Plasma opposing them.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and defeats [[Hugh]] in [[Undella Town]], Zinzolin appears there, dressed in new set of robes. He expresses remorse for his actions and gives the player books of Ghetsis's research that allow translation of the messages in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. He will give the player a [[Big Pearl]] upon returning from the end of the Abyssal Ruins, and depart.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Black and White====
=====At the Cold Storage=====
:''"All of you--huddle around me! I can't take this cold..."''
:''"Pokémon are our king's friends. While we're taking care of them, we can't let any harm come to them here. Everyone, drive these intruders away!"''

=====At Driftveil City=====
:''"Ghetsis... Thank you very much..."''

=====At N's Castle=====
:''"There are not two suns in the sky, nor two sovereigns over the people."''
:''"It is the way of the universe to take from excess and fill emptiness. Taking Pokémon from people is restoring balance to nature!"''

=====At the Cold Storage=====
:''"So, you returned? You're an odd Trainer. All right. I've got time enough to satisfy your curiosity."''
:''"...Breathing. Having a heart that beats. That is simple existence and nothing more for a living being. That may be the definition of living, but I don't think that defines life."''
:''"The experiences of joy and suffering are a vital part of being alive. Ghetsis gave me the sensation of being truly alive... What did he mean to accomplish? That isn't what's important."''
:''"Right now, I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive."''
:''"Pokémon and people live by being together and relying on one another. That might be how you feel. If that's so, is it necessary to separate people and Pokémon? By talking to you, I've discovered that there's much I need to think about... I wish I had more to give you in thanks... Here, take [[TM01|this]]."''
:''"My lord N said that he wanted to make Pokémon perfect... But, even if the relationship between Pokémon and people stayed as it now is, Pokémon can aspire to perfection..."''
:''"It's too cold and I'm already tired of shivering in here. If you'll give me some time to think, I'll tell you what I know. So...take me with you."''

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{incomplete|section|Missing post-game Undella Town quotes}} 
=====[[Plasma Frigate]] – [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]]=====
: ''"What is going on?"''
: ''"YOU! Once again, we will use the [[legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and we will rule the Unova region! Curious Trainers, we shall not let you run around as you please!"''
: ''"[[Shadow Triad]]! Get them out of here!"''
: ''"I know! But kick them out of here now!"''

=====[[Lacunosa Town]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"Oh, for crying out loud… This is troublesome indeed, my curious Trainers. Perhaps I should satiate your curiosity somewhat. The reason I am still part of Team Plasma is this: I want to know how the world will change. Listen. Pokémon are nature. [[Poké Ball]]s are civilization. Humans who are used to civilization don't relinquish it easily. Of course, both nature and civilization are important. But what will happen to a world taken over by Team Plasma? People will be forced to throw out Poké Balls--a product of civilization. I want to know what that looks like! And I want to enjoy it!"''

* When defeated
: ''"That pressure I felt from you just now… What was that?!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"These Trainers remind me of that one from two years ago. More important, we must continue our search. Like that scientist said, it might be in [[Opelucid City]]! We'll play with you again later!"''

=====[[Opelucid City]]=====
: ''"I don't think that's going to work."''
: ''"It's bitter cold. I'm shivering. I'm suffering, but I'm alive! It's what the essence of life feels like! It's proof of my existence! But that's enough of philosophy. Here are the facts for your admiration: This ice was specially created by Team Plasma's technology. As long as we have our secret weapon, you'll never be able to melt or break this ice! Let me explain our purpose here. [[Drayden]], hand over the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}}! Opelucid City is a city where the past and the future are entwined. Could there be a more perfect place for the splicers that connect the separated Pokémon?"''
: ''"Humph. That's what I thought you'd say. At this point, I'd like to threaten you with another volley of ice, but we can't use it for a moment… Sigh. It won't be enjoyable in this cold, but I guess we'll just search for them."''

=====In front of the [[Opelucid Gym]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"Oh, for crying out loud… I didn't expect to have to fight hampered by cold like this. Well, no matter! The fact that I'm shivering means I'm truly alive!"''

* When defeated
: ''"Have you gotten even stronger than you were in Lacunosa Town? How, in such a brief amount of time…"''

* After being defeated
: ''"You're a strong Trainer. You definitely are adept at handling Pokémon. I believe I'll take my leave, simply because I can't stand this cold. But…imagine this… A Unova region…completely…covered…in…ice. To achieve that splendor, we'll do whatever it takes to obtain the DNA Splicers."''

=====Plasma Frigate – {{rt|21|Unova}}=====
* Before battle
: ''"You're an impressive Trainer to have made it this far. Since you went to such trouble to come here, I'll show you something. This is… '''The [[legendary Pokémon]] of ice! Its name is {{p|Kyurem}}!'''"''
: ''"The ice missiles we fired into Opelucid City were created with Kyurem's power and Team Plasma's technology! Well… You could become a threat to Team Plasma, so we will eliminate you here!"''
: ''"Hmph! We'll simply eliminate both of you!"''

* When defeated
: ''"The longer you live, the more opportunities for failure."''

* After being defeated
: ''"Hmph. You're a smarter Trainer than I expected. If you've got that much sense, why did you do something as dangerous as sneaking into our base?"''
: ''"If it's just a {{p|Purrloin}}, someone probably stole it and is using it. Why can't you understand? There are other Purrloin. Why are you so fixated on this one?"''
: ''"An individual's feelings… To you, that's probably a matter of great importance. But from the perspective of other people, it is a trifling matter indeed. Compare those feelings against the majesty of this ship! This ship itself is a device that uses the Pokémon Kyurem's power! With this ship, this time we will conquer Unova! It looks like Kyurem has fully recovered. We'll put the DNA Splicers to good use. I'll let you take care of them, Shadow Triad!"''

=====Plasma Frigate – [[Giant Chasm]]=====
* Before battle
: ''"The device is indestructible! You will never be able to release Kyurem! You don't have the sense to know when to quit, it seems. It's an act of mercy on my part to bring this to an end now!"''

* When defeated
: ''"It is the same for anyone… As long as you are dreaming, the dream will never reveal itself to you."''

* After being defeated
: ''"Beaten again?! No matter! Team Plasma will get the last laugh!"''

=====Undella Town=====
*After defeating [[Hugh]]
: ''"Mmm, it's so warm here. Let me get to the point. I have papers that [[Lord Ghetsis]] left behind. With these, you can read the ancient scripts in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. As my own small, little way to atone for my sins, I'll read them to you!(<player> is now able to read the [[Abyssal Ruins]] script!). Just to make sure you know, you reach the [[Abyssal Ruins]] by using {{m|Dive}} in [[Undella Bay]]. And you must write down the ciphers you find in the [[Abyssal Ruins]] yourself.
*After reaching innermost chamber of Abyssal Ruins
: ''"What?! You made it even further, you say? And what kind of ciphers were there? … … Ahem… Oh, yes, now I see. There are some characters I can't recognize, but based on the context… An extremely wonderful king was laid to rest in those ruins. If that king has descendants, maybe those special powers were passed down…"''
: ''"Now that I've learned everything I wanted to know about the Abyssal Ruins, I take my leave. You are my enemy, but your accomplishments and skill make you a worthwhile enemy. Adieu!"''

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Zinzolin Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Zinzolin in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Three years prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, Zinzolin was recruited by Ghetsis as a member of the Seven Sages. When Gorm was given the task on finding information on the legendary Dragon Pokémon, an annoyed Zinzolin stated that he should have been given the task, as he had already gathered information on them. Before he could speak any further, he was silenced by Ghetsis.

Zinzolin first appears in ''[[ABW07|Letting Go]]'' along with the other sages. In [[ABW31]], Zinzolin appeared at the [[Cold Storage]] after {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Cheren}} had defeated two Team Plasma Grunts. He praises the Trainers for their strength and disappears with the help of an ice mirror.

Later, Zinzolin appears as a participant in the Unova Pokémon League. There, he disguises himself in his game counterpart's Black 2 and White 2 clothing sans Team Plasma logo and wears a visor over his eyes. Going by the fake name Gray (Japanese: '''グレイ'''), Zinzolin makes it to the top 8 and is set against [[Iris]] as his opponent in the quarterfinals. While battling, he is seen as maniacal about the cold, and uses one of his {{p|Cryogonal}}'s techniques to trap Iris's {{p|Fraxure}} in ice chains. However, Iris is able to counter this move through her training with [[Brycen]] and eventually defeats Zinzolin.

==Trivia==
* In Black and White, Zinzolin quotes a proverb from ''{{wp|Mencius (book)|Mencius}}'' and a line from ''{{wp|Tao Te Ching}}'' at N's Castle.
* Zinzolin can be seen as Rood's parallel in that Zinzolin is a sage who decided to join the sect that remains loyal to Ghetsis while Rood joins the other sect that is loyal to N.

'''Colress''' (Japanese: '''アクロマ''' ''Achroma'') is a Pokémon researcher and the new boss of [[Team Plasma]], acting under [[Ghetsis]]'s orders. His goal is to discover the true way to draw out the strength of Pokémon.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Colress is first encountered in [[Castelia Sewers]]. He is met again [[Castelia City]], where he tells the player that he disagrees with the old [[Team Plasma]]'s goals to liberate Pokémon from humans. The player re-encounters Colress on {{rt|4|Unova}}, where several {{p|Crustle}} block the path. Colress uses his machine to drive the Crustle away and challenges the player to a battle. Colress is once again seen as a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], matched against the player in the final round of the tournament. He is later encountered on {{rt|22|Unova}}. Like usual, he talks to the player mostly about Team Plasma.

Later on, during the battle against the new Team Plasma on the [[Plasma Frigate]] while at the [[Giant Chasm]], Colress is seen in a chamber, where he reveals that he joined Team Plasma to pursue and research the true strength of Pokémon. After he is defeated in battle, he allows access to [[Ghetsis]]'s chamber, wanting to see if the player can stop him.

After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Colress is still dwelling in the Plasma Frigate; however, he and the other Team Plasma members have decided to put an end to their ambitions. Colress will then battle the player and will give the player a [[Master Ball]] once defeated. He will then move to the stern of the Frigate, where he will battle the player once per day.

===Quotes===
'''Castelia Sewers'''
: ''"You there! That was an excellent demonstration of battling. The way you brought out the power of your Pokémon against an opponent like Team Plasma… Astounding. Simply astounding. Interesting as well. I see…"''

'''Castelia City's Central Plaza'''
:''"Oh, it's you again! If it's not an inconvenience, may I have a look at your Pokémon?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I appreciate your cooperation!"''
:: '''No''': ''"Are you sure? But this is for science."''
:''"Oh! How interesting! Your <Pokémon> seems to display more self-confidence than others of the same species. And you're a Trainer with merely three Badges… Fantastic! I'm not sure how you're doing it, but you're bringing out the power of your Pokémon!"''
:''"Oh, excuse me! I am a scientist. My name is Colress. The theme of my research is: "Bringing out the power of Pokémon." Bringing out the power of Pokémon! Is it possible to bring out their maximum power through the bond they share with their Trainers? Or is there some other, different method? I'd like to test my theory by battling with you. Do you find this acceptable?"'' (regardless of answer) ''"Either way, I'll be waiting on Route 4. It's just beyond here!"''

'''Route 4'''
* Before battle
: ''"I've been waiting for you! What's the matter? Interested in what's behind me? These are not mere rocks, but the Pokémon known as Crustle. Observe. With this device I created to energize Pokémon, I'll…"''
: ''"Those Crustle… Were they just lying here, out of energy, with their boulders on their backs?"''
: ''"Team Plasma said we should recognize the potential in Pokémon and liberate them from humans. I disagree. Conversely, it should be humans who bring out the hidden potential in Pokémon!"''
: ''"Now that I think of it, I never asked your name. <Player>… I'll remember that name. Well then, I will test you to see if you're a Trainer who can bring out the hidden potential of Pokémon!"''

* When defeated
: ''"Splendid! You are quite the Trainer!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"I see! Just like the Gym Leaders in each area or the Elite Four and Champion in the Pokémon League, you bring out the power in Pokémon by being kind to them! That's the kind of person you are. I'm extremely grateful for your help. This is a token of my gratitude."''
: ''"It's so frustrating! If only we could talk to Pokémon in order to bring out their power! But there's no way a person like that could ever exist! Well then, <player>, I hope to see you again sometime."''

'''Pokémon World Tournament'''
* Before battle
: ''"As a researcher, it is the truth and the ideal way things should be that I seek. The latent power of Pokémon… What is the best way to bring it out? If possible, I want it to be the trust between Trainers and their Pokémon, just as it has always been. I look forward to you teaching me that this is indeed true!"''

* When defeated
: ''"Well done! I learned much from this battle!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"Just as I expected! Your Pokémon must be happy to be by your side! You bring out the best in their power!"''

* Inside the building
: ''"By having battles with many Trainers, I can bring out Pokémon Abilities! Eventually, as I continue to battle, the truth of my theory will be evident to all!"''

* Outside the building
: ''"Stop. There's no reason for you to stick your necks into something so dangerous!"''
: ''"I don't understand. That's not courage, it's recklessness! Does he think anything is possible simply because he has Pokémon with him? No, no… That's not possible. All Trainers and Pokémon are bound to one another by [[Poké Ball]]s… Then maybe it is this bond that will allow Trainers to overcome the impossible if they trust their partner Pokémon."''

* When spoken to
: ''"Trust... It's too much of an unknown factor. But if believing in your Pokémon gives you the courage to stand up to Team Plasma... And the courage to help your friends... Then follow them south to the dock!"''

'''Route 22'''
: ''"The one radiating such a tremendous presence before you is none other than Terrakion!"''
: ''"It's been a long time. Terrakion is one of the three Pokémon who protected Pokémon from the flames of human conflict! It seems likely that Terrakion has picked up the scent of danger that emanates from Team Plasma. It's probably seeking a Pokémon trainer who has the strength to stand up to them."''
: ''"It's very interesting indeed that Terrakion appeared before you! That aside, do you plan to confront Team Plasma?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I see. If that's the case, you must have the power to protect your own Pokémon! Being protected by Pokémon alone doesn't make you a Trainer! It's because Trainers are strong, because they care about their Pokémon, that these Pokémon can also be strong!"''
:: '''No''': ''"I see! That works as well. You and your Pokémon can proceed down your own path! What you should do is care about your Pokémon to bring out their power to its fullest potential!"''
: ''"Here! This is from me!"''
: ''"This is a prototype of my device that energizes Pokémon! It doesn't work on battling Pokémon, but you may find it useful for something! Well then, I wish you and your Pokémon a safe journey!"''
: ''"Now that I think about it! In the Seaside Cave on Route 21, I saw something that reminded me of when we met on Route 4."''

'''Plasma Frigate'''
* Before battle
: ''"Welcome! I was asked by an acquaintance to help with his research. What I desire is to bring out the entirety in Pokémon potential! If I can accomplish that, I don't care what it takes!"'' (walks a few steps forward) ''"If it means the strength must be brought out by the interactions between Pokémon and Trainers, then so be it! If it means you have to use a merciless approach, like Team Plasma's, and force out all of the Pokémon's power, then so be it! And yes, if the entire world is destroyed as a result, then so be it..."'' (steps forward off the stairs) ''"That aside! The reason I have been traveling all over Unova and battling many Pokémon Trainers is because I was testing the viability of this approach to bringing out the full strength of Pokémon. In that respect, you've done an amazing job. Well now! Tell me if you have the answer I desire or not! If you're ready, come at me!"''

* When spoken to
: ''"It looks like you're ready, then! OK! Let us begin!"''

* First non-KO HP loss
: ''"Come on! More! Bring out your Pokémon's power!"''

* Upon sending out last Pokémon
: ''"I'm more psyched than I've ever been! I can still go on!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"So this is what it means to draw forth the power hidden in your Pokémon!"''
: ''"So strong! You're a very strong Trainer indeed! So let me ask you this! Are you thinking of reaching even higher heights by understanding each other as Pokémon and Trainer?"''
:: '''Yes''': ''"I see... To me, that is an ideal answer. To think! That's what you actually believe! You bring out the power of your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:: '''No''': ''"I see... Is that answer my truth? Even if that's your answer, don't give up! The reason you're so strong is that you treat your Pokémon with respect and love!"''
:(steps backward) ''"Excuse me for repeating myself, but if it will make Pokémon stronger, I don't care what it takes! If interacting with Pokémon can increase their powers only to a certain point, then their full strength must be brought out using a scientific approach. Even one without a conscience."'' (turns back to you) ''"But you have shown me the potential of your approach. To me, whether Team Plasma wins or whether you win will decide how the relationship between people and Pokémon should be! So where will this be settled? Step on the warp panel on the other side of the room where Kyurem is being held. Good luck in your battle!"''

'''Plasma Frigate (Post-game)'''
* Before battle (First rematch)
: ''"Could I say that you're curious for coming clear out here?" ''
: ''"I dissolved Team Plasma. The ones who are left here are deciding what they want to do. I would like to have them decide on their own! There are far more questions in this world that don't have any answers! Well then... Please show me you and your Pokémon's strength once again!" ''

* First non-lethal hit
: ''"Come! Satisfy my urge to battle!"''
* Upon sending out last Pokémon
: ''"Marvelous! I shall believe in my Pokémon!"''
* Last Pokémon at critical health
: ''"If-if i'd believed more, could I have drawn out my Pokémon's power?"''
* When defeated
: ''"The bonds between us... Does the fact that we can't see them make them even more real?"''
* After being defeated
: ''"In Pokémon battles where you can't afford to make a mistake, the true nature of the Trainer's personality becomes clear. I see! If Trainers believe in their Pokémon to the fullest extreme, as you do, their Pokémon partners will also give everything they have! So that must be the answer I've been looking for. Still, I'm glad you won. For one thing, I detested Ghetsis from the start!"''
: ''"Take this with you! This Master Ball can catch any kind of Pokémon! Ghetsis was saving it, but you'll probably put it to better use! "''
: ''"If you'd like, please have a Pokémon battle with me again! Indeed, I'm having trouble deciding what to do next as well."''

* Before battle (Second rematch and onwards)
: ''"{{tt|Even the same Pokémon can exhibit different strengths depending on the Trainer! It's so interesting! Very, very interesting!|First time only}} Well now! Give me but a moment of your time!" ''
:: '''No''': ''"And I went to all the trouble to come here, too... You're an unkind person."''
:: '''Yes''': ''"The invisible force that exists between you and your Pokémon... This time I will determine what it is!"''

* After being defeated
: ''"The things you and your Pokémon have seen and felt... Do they belong to you and you alone? If you would, please have another Pokémon battle with me. By facing you, I feel as if I can see what I should do from now on."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Colress anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Colress in the anime]]
Colress debuted in [[BW112]]. He was conducting his research of controlling [[wild Pokémon]] with special sonic waves at an abandoned facility. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Looker]] showed up, he released his mind controlled Pokémon on them. He was so impressed by their Pokémon's powers, that he planted one of his controlling devices on {{AP|Pikachu}}, forcing him to fight his master. Ash didn't accept this, encouraging Pikachu to fight against the power that controlled him, eventually causing the device to break and free Pikachu, making Colress even more impressed. {{TRT}} then showed up, using one of their miniature robots to steal Colress's research data from his computer before quickly reciting their {{motto}} and making a quick escape with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Seeing that the mind-controlled Pokémon were now freed, Colress and the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} he had with him retreated and destroyed the place with a self-destruct mechanism to get rid of all possible evidence.

He is set to appear in [[BW117]] and [[BW119]].

==Trivia==
* Colress does not have an introduction and VS sprite the first two times he is fought. The third time, he has the Team Plasma template used by [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. In the post-Champion rematches, he uses the basic template used for battles against [[Gym Leader]]s, [[rival]]s, and [[Benga]].
** Colress's unique battle background music, 戦闘! アクロマ ''[[Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 Super Music Complete|Battle! Colress]]'', is not used in the first two battles against him; it is first heard when he is fought on the Plasma Frigate and is kept for rematches.

'''Route 18''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|１８番道路|１８ばんどうろ}}''' ''Route 18'') is a route in southeastern [[Unova]], connected to {{rt|17|Unova}} and the final numbered route of Unova in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Geography==
Route 18 is a mountain-like route littered with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[item]]s, and [[wild Pokémon]]. The majority of the route, away from the coast, rests upon plateaus of varying heights. The player can reach the top of these plateaus via staircase.

After traversing the fast currents, the sea calms and a small beach can be accessed. A series of cliffs stand on this island, the top reachable by several sets of steps. Atop the cliff is a house, some grassy patches and a few Trainers. Another beach, to the north of the island, can also be reached, as well as another to the west.

In the house, there are two Treasure Hunters. A {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}} in the house will give the player a {{p|Larvesta}} {{pkmn|Egg}}. The female {{tc|Ace Trainer}} in the same house will heal the player's Pokémon. A [[Item maniac#Rare Bone maniac|shady man]] will buy {{DL|Valuable item|Rare Bone}}s from the player for {{pdollar}}10000.

In Black and White, after defeating [[Ghetsis]], [[Rood]] of the [[Seven Sages]] can be found and arrested here.

In Black 2 and White 2, [[Crasher Wake]] is found here.

'''Maylene''' (Japanese: '''スモモ''' ''Sumomo'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Veilstone Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Maylene uses {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}} and are able to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. In addition, all Pokémon up to level 40 will obey them. Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently doesn't know her own strength, as she's totally unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.

Later in {{v2|Platinum}}, the player encounters her upon entering {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} where she is apparently {{pkmn|training}} by walking to [[Snowpoint City]]. She doesn't use {{m|Fly}}—even if she can—so she can train herself. She is also used to the cold, even if she is lightly dressed and barefoot. In Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]], she says that she admires [[Candice]] for being so studious and that she'll see her later. Later in the game, she can appear at the [[Battleground]], where she and the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders and Trainers can be battled again. After battling her here, she mentions that she believes that being barefoot is healthier than wearing footwear, pointing out that Pokémon go barefoot.

Maylene appears in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in [[Celadon City]]'s restaurant, having entered what appears to be an eating contest; piles of empty bowls surround her, amazing her onlookers. In addition, she will occasionally participate in the [[Pokéathlon]]'s Supreme Cup in the Power Course with her {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Meditite}}, and {{p|Machoke}}.

Maylene seems to like to eat a lot, saying how it is so great that she can eat all she wants in both the [[Battleground]] and Celadon City's restaurant, and is also apparently able to eat many bowls in one sitting.

'''[[Veilstone Gym]]'''
* Before battle
:''"Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Maylene, and I'm the [[Gym Leader]]. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader. But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader. I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh! But this isn't the end, my friend!"''

* During battle
:''"I'm in a bit of a bind, aren't I?"''

* When defeated
:''"I shall admit defeat... You are much too strong."''

* After being defeated
:''"...OK. You win. That was a tough loss. I learned a lot from it. Please, accept this Gym Badge."''

:''"Gee, I'm hungry... Oh, sorry, it's nothing. I didn't say anything. <Player>, I can't explain what it means to be strong. I don't know how much effort goes into being strong... But being with Pokémon lets us keep making the effort, doesn't it?"''

'''{{rt|217|Sinnoh}}''' ({{v2|Platinum}} only) 
:''"Oh, <player>! Um, are you maybe on your way to [[Snowpoint City]]? That's where I'm going, too. If I use {{m|Fly}}, I can get there instantly, but I'm walking for my training. I have no problem with this. I'm used to the cold because I go barefoot and lightly dressed. ...Achoo! Oh, that was nothing. Really, I'm not cold at all. I'll be going now. Please take care!"''

:''"Brrr... Oh, hi, <player>! Are you taking the Gym challenge now? I'm hoping to see [[Candice]] soon, but I'm staying put until I warm up again first. Oh, you should know that Candice is a user of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. I really admire Candice. She's so studious. She wanted to practice against me to learn about the {{t|Fighting}} type. It's because the Ice type matches up badly against the Fighting type."''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"...Um, your Villa... Would it be OK if I took a look around?"''

:''"<Player>, please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, I'm beginning to understand the feelings of Pokémon. It lets me choose moves with much more confidence!"''

:''"<Player>, please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, my handwriting has improved tenfold! ...Yes. It has absolutely nothing to do with how strong I am as a Gym Leader."''

:''"...You know those [[Accessory|Accessories]] for Pokémon? Would it be funny if someone were to wear those?"'' (to Candice)

:''"What makes a Gym Leader a good one?"'' (to Candice)

'''[[Battleground]]'''

==In the anime==
[[File:Maylene.png|left|thumb|230px|Maylene in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}.

Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a Gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle.

She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.

Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

Lucario was later used to help protect [[Veilstone City]]'s famous meteorites from being stolen by [[Saturn]] during ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.}}

Its first full appearance was during Maylene's Gym battle against {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. Unlike the battle against Paul, in this battle Meditite was used to its full potential, being able to defeat {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before being knocked out by {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}'s {{m|Double Hit}}.

It was next used in the Gym battle against {{Ash}}, where it was able to confuse both {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Chimchar}} but was unable to defeat them. It eventually fell to Staravia's newly learned {{m|Brave Bird}}.

It was the first Pokémon used by Maylene during her Gym battle against Ash, where it put up a strong defense against his Staravia despite the type disadvantage. Despite this however Machoke was still defeated by the Starling Pokémon's combination of {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

Machoke's known moves are {{m|DynamicPunch}}, {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Cross Chop}}, and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.}}

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Maylene Wake Adventures.png|thumb|right|Maylene and her Riolu and Crasher Wake with his Floatzel]]
Maylene is first seen training with her two Pokémon, Meditite and Riolu where she overhears a trio of children planning to challenge her Gym. While jogging around the city she almost gets hit by [[Chimler]]'s Ember (when the trio was testing {{adv|Platinum}}'s newly-earned Zoom Lens). Due to a misunderstanding she assumes that Platinum was one of the kids who planned to challenge her, she then challenges Platinum to a match, adding that Platinum must use Monferno against her. She later battles Platinum in the Veilstone Gym, but is defeated when Platinum uses her skills at playing the slots to help Monferno defeat her Riolu.

She later appears in [[Snowpoint City]], jogging in the cold where Platinum spots her and asks her to take her to the Snowpoint Gym Leader, Candice. She watches the Gym battle between Candice and Platinum and later, along with Candice, joins Platinum on her quest to stop Team Galactic from blowing up [[Lake Acuity]] and capturing the legendary {{p|Uxie}}. Later, at Lake Acuity they are confronted by Team Galactic Commander, Jupiter and despite putting up a good fight, are defeated by her powerful Pokémon and are unable to prevent Uxie from being captured. After being healed they decided to get some training in order to defeat her, Candice calls fellow Gym Leader Byron who then calls and asks Volkner to train them. After some difficulty with their new tutor, they finish their training with him and later at the Spear Pillar, she and Candice fight and defeat Jupiter along with the other Galactic Commanders. She and the other Gym Leaders later fight Team Galactic Leader Cyrus in order to break the Red Chain controlling the legendary Dialga and Palkia and after a tough battle, they are able to break the Chain. However, it turns out the one they broke was the second artificial one that he created.

Later, the Gym Leaders are found unconscious lying in a pile of rubble by Platinum and [[Cynthia]]. After helping them out, Maylene, Candice, and [[Gardenia]] wake up and give Platinum a {{p|Pachirisu}}, a {{p|Froslass}}, and a {{p|Cherrim}}, respectively. Just after, a stray attack fired from the battle between Diamond and Pearl against Dialga and Palkia knocks them unconscious and melts the Poké Balls, preventing Platinum from using her newly gained team members. Later, when the clash between Dialga and Palkia creates a black hole in the sky, Maylene and the other Gym Leaders are nearly sucked into it before being saved by Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. After Cyrus's defeat, Maylene, the other Gym Leaders, and Cyrus are carried by the Sinnoh Pokédex holders so they can be taken to the hospital to heal their injuries.

It is heavily implied that due to her father's gambling habit, Maylene is actually living in poverty as seen when she is jealous of Platinum's wealth and the fact that her father wears shabby clothing along with that every time he appears, his stomach is seen growling. This was revealed to be a fact when she gave Platinum her Pachirisu.

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[File:Maylene DPA.png|thumb|Maylene in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]
Maylene has a brief cameo in ''[[DPA07|Dialga's Secret Keys!!]]'' where she battled Hareta and gave him the {{Badge|Cobble}} after her Machoke got defeated by {{TP|Hareta|Piplup}}. At the end of the chapter, she is seen complaining about only appearing in one panel. Later, she was called in by [[Byron]] to go to Lake Valor in order to help Hareta take out Team Galactic.

==Trivia==
* Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to not appear outside her Gym at least once in the game. She makes several appearances outside of her Gym in {{game|Platinum}}, however, when the player reaches {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, at the Pokémon Center in [[Snowpoint City]] before beating Candice, and at the [[Battleground]].
** She also appears in Celadon City in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Maylene's Japanese name is shared with that of one of the [[Kimono Girl]]s of [[Ecruteak City]]. That Kimono Girl's name was changed to ''Komomo'' in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, possibly not to conflict with Maylene's Japanese name.
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being third, Maylene is now fourth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to Maylene, he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the DP line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Instead, Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by DP, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought [[Crasher Wake]], but before Fantina.
* She is also the only Gym Leader in Sinnoh to have more Pokémon of the opposite gender than of the same gender as her; in the Veilstone Gym, two out of her three Pokémon are male, while at the Battleground, three out of five are.
* Maylene is currently the only known Fighting-type specialist who is female.
* Of all of the Trainers that can be fought at the [[Battleground]], Maylene has the strongest Pokémon of any of them. Her Lucario, at level 66, is one level stronger than the rest of the Trainers' strongest Pokémon, as all of the rest are at Lv. 65.
** However Maylene compensates for this, since her strongest Pokémon doesn't hold a [[Sitrus Berry]] unlike the other trainers at the Battleground.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are the same levels that Pastoria Gym Leader [[Crasher Wake]]'s Pokémon are.
** This is most likely due to the fact that the player can choose to visit Veilstone or Pastoria simultaneously without affecting the progression of the storyline, meaning Wake and Maylene could be battled in either order.
* Maylene's Meditite in [[Pokémon Adventures]] knows {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|Power Swap}}, and {{m|Psycho Cut}}. These moves are impossible to have at the same time in the games.

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, Turtwig is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Sinnoh]] available at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a {{wp|turtle}} or {{wp|tortoise}}, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. The shell should feel moist on a healthy Turtwig. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

===Special abilities===
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their Trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[Berry|Berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gardenia Turtwig.png|thumb|210px|Turtwig in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Torterra|Ash's Turtwig]]====
{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', and again in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]''.

====[[Paul's Torterra|Paul's Turtwig]]====
[[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

====Other====
The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a Turtwig that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the Gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

===Minor appearances===
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokémon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature and it was eating almost the whole time. Another Turtwig owned by Rowan appears in [[SS024]].

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a Trainer at the [[Pokémon Center]].

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers' School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Tru]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimler]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimler.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
Turtwig is {{OBP|Jun|DPA}}'s [[starter Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]. It was partnered with [[Hareta]]'s {{TP|Hareta|Piplup|Empoleon}} to battle [[Mars]]'s {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Purugly}}. It later appeared as a {{p|Torterra}}, having evolved from {{p|Grotle}} earlier.

[[Gardenia]] also has a Turtwig which was used in the Gym Battle against [[Hareta]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}}.

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

==Other appearances==

Turtwig appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a trophy.

===Trophy Information===

''"A Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Despite its animal appearance, Turtwig actually has vegetation sprouting from its head. The shell on its back is made of soil and hardens when it drinks water. Much like a plant, Turtwig performs photosynthesis, absorbing sunlight and making oxygen. It also relies heavily on water to keep its plant healthy and thus spends a lot of time near lakes. Turtwig evolves into Grotle."''

'''Bayleef''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベイリーフ''' ''Bayleaf'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chikorita}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bayleef resembles a pale yellow {{wp|sauropod}} dinosaur or a {{wp|lizard}}. It has curled leaf-like growths, stated to be buds with small tree shoots inside, sprouting in a ring around its neck. A large leaf shaped like a scythe protrudes from its head. It has red eyes, and has one large toenail on each of its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four feet}}. It also has a small tail.

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

===Special abilities===
The aroma wafting from the leaf-like growths around its neck has a spicy, very sharp, distinctive scent, and all nearby Pokémon who inhale it become excited and want to fight. The scent energizes those who smell it, so much that they may even become aggressive.

===Behavior===
Bayleef are calmer than their previous stage, {{p|Chikorita}}. However, the scent that wafts from their leaves serves to make people excited and can cause them to want to fight.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Bayleef are very rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Bayleef.png|thumb|210px|Bayleef in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef]]====
{{Ash}}'s Chikorita evolved into Bayleef in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''. Ash's Bayleef still had the same personality it had when it was still a Chikorita, but it soon mellowed out.

====[[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Bayleef]]====
{{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} evolved into Bayleef in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''. It evolved again into a {{p|Meganium}} off screen prior to the events of ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' At You, Elekid!]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Megaree}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Crystal}}'s Chikorita evolves into a Bayleef while defending his Trainer against an attack from an old foe, an impish wild {{p|Larvitar}}. Although it had been such a short while since it had evolved that it didn't know how to restrain the {{m|Sweet Scent}} it gave around it (causing wild {{p|Lickitung}} to gather around it), it evolved with its fellow (and newly reawakened) starter Pokémon in the fight against {{p|Lugia}} in the [[Whirl Islands]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
[[File:Gold Bayleef Golden Boys.png|thumb|150px|{{GnB|Gold}}'s Bayleef from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|The Golden Boys]]]]
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} has a Bayleef that used to belong to {{GnB|Black}}, but was released by its former Trainer for being too weak. After joining Gold's team, it has been able to defeat strong opponents such as [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}.

==Trivia==
* Bayleef is the tallest of the second-stage evolutions of starter Pokémon.
* Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real {{wp|bay leaves}} have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to {{wp|thyme}}.

===Origin===
This Pokémon is based on a group of {{wp|dinosaurs}} called {{wp|sauropods}}, specifically the {{wp|apatosaurus}}. Its vegetable part is based on the leaves of the {{wp|bay laurel}}, which oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in aromatheraphy.

====Name origin====
Bayleef is a corruption of ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', an herb.

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Dialga is the version mascot of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing time.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is a {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, three spines on the back of its neck, long claws, and a short tail. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.

====Gender differences====
Dialga is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Dialga has the ability to warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether.

Similar to most other {{type|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}.

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that naturally learns {{m|Roar of Time}}.

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown that it is very protective of its home. It has also been shown that it has violent conflicts with {{p|Palkia}}, who can be considered as Dialga's rival or enemy.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]]. This dimension, as shown in the [[M12|twelfth movie]], is blue and full of floating diamonds and also the pathway through different time.

In the games, Dialga is located in the [[Spear Pillar]] at [[Mt. Coronet]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Dialga may be found at the top of [[Temporal Tower]], Temporal Pinnacle.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|right|thumb|250px|Dialga in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dialga (movie)]]====
{{mov|Dialga}} appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

====Other====
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.

===Minor appearances===
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

[[Primal Dialga|An evil Dialga]] made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the Time Gear.

Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Dialga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Dialga summoned by Cyrus in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], two Dialga have been seen, one that [[Cyrus]] tried to take control of on the [[Spear Pillar]] using the [[Red Chain]], and another that was destroyed before materializing in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention until {{Vol|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|5|the fifth volume}}.

In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the collapsing Tower, they must beat Primal Dialga in battle, who has almost completely turned Primal, and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Dialga appears in the optional Ranger Net extra mission Pledge to Arceus. It must be captured along with its counterparts Palkia and Giratina in the Sky Fortress to access Arceus.

==Trivia==
* Dialga, as well as {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} (as of the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}) and {{p|Palkia}}, shares the first letter of its name with the game it is the mascot of: {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond}}.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
** Dialga is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon that doesn't take super-effective damage when hit by Dragon-type moves, due to the {{type|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Dialga is the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and the third heaviest Pokémon.
* Dialga has the highest {{Stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Dialga is tied with {{p|Giratina}}'s Altered Forme and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, with catch rates of 45.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at level 47 in Diamond and Pearl respectively.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses {{m|Roar of Time}}, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an {{Shiny|alternate coloration}} that is [[Primal Dialga|not its Shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Although Dialga is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Dialga is the first legendary Pokémon to have a role in three different movies.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team suggested to change the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word ''alga'', seaweed.
* Dialga has the highest base stats of all Steel-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Cameosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}'' while its head is reminiscent of H. R. Giger's {{wp|Alien (creature in Alien franchise)|Xenomorph}}, an extraterrestrial species that is the primary antagonist in the ''Alien'' franchise. Its type is Steel possibly due to the hardness of diamonds, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, interestingly, the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.
====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from ''diamond''. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time), ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face), or ''dia'' (Greek for ''through'', as in to go "through" time).

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Dialga is the version mascot of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing time.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is a {{wp|sauropod-like Pokémon. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, three spines on the back of its neck, long claws, and a short tail. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky.

====Gender differences====
Dialga is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Dialga has the ability to warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether.

Similar to most other {{type|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}}.

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that naturally learns {{m|Roar of Time}}.

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown that it is very protective of its home. It has also been shown that it has violent conflicts with {{p|Palkia}}, who can be considered as Dialga's rival or enemy.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]]. This dimension, as shown in the [[M12|twelfth movie]], is blue and full of floating diamonds and also the pathway through different time.

In the games, Dialga is located in the [[Spear Pillar]] at [[Mt. Coronet]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Dialga may be found at the top of [[Temporal Tower]], Temporal Pinnacle.

==In the anime==
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|right|thumb|250px|Dialga in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Dialga (movie)]]====
{{mov|Dialga}} appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.

====Other====
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.

===Minor appearances===
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.

[[Primal Dialga|An evil Dialga]] made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the Time Gear.

Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Dialga Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Dialga summoned by Cyrus in Pokémon Adventures]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], two Dialga have been seen, one that [[Cyrus]] tried to take control of on the [[Spear Pillar]] using the [[Red Chain]], and another that was destroyed before materializing in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention until {{Vol|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|5|the fifth volume}}.

In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.

===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the collapsing Tower, they must beat Primal Dialga in battle, who has almost completely turned Primal, and restore the Tower. After putting some sense into it, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence). After going back to Dialga at the top of Temporal Tower, it decides that the player wants a rematch. Once defeated, Dialga joins the player's team.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Dialga appears as a bonus boss during one of the Ranger Net extra missions. Dialga was injured from a battle with Palkia and entered [[Almia Castle]] to recover. It caused a time distortion due to its wounds and sent the main character and {{Ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the events of the game started by using {{m|Roar of Time}}.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Dialga appears in the optional Ranger Net extra mission Pledge to Arceus. It must be captured along with its counterparts Palkia and Giratina in the Sky Fortress to access Arceus.

==Trivia==
* Dialga, as well as {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} (as of the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}) and {{p|Palkia}}, shares the first letter of its name with the game it is the mascot of: {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond}}.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
** Dialga is the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon that doesn't take super-effective damage when hit by Dragon-type moves, due to the {{type|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Dialga is the tallest [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and the third heaviest Pokémon.
* Dialga has the highest {{Stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Dialga is tied with {{p|Giratina}}'s Altered Forme and {{p|Zekrom}} for the highest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Reshiram}}, and {{p|Zekrom}}, with catch rates of 45.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at level 47 in Diamond and Pearl respectively.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses {{m|Roar of Time}}, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an {{Shiny|alternate coloration}} that is [[Primal Dialga|not its Shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Although Dialga is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Dialga is the first legendary Pokémon to have a role in three different movies.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]]'s blog, the Spanish translation team suggested to change the name Dialga because of its similarity to the word ''alga'', seaweed.
* Dialga has the highest base stats of all Steel-type Pokemon.
===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Cameosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}'' while its head is reminiscent of H. R. Giger's {{wp|Alien (creature in Alien franchise)|Xenomorph}}, an extraterrestrial species that is the primary antagonist in the ''Alien'' franchise. Its type is Steel possibly due to the hardness of diamonds, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, interestingly, the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.
====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from ''diamond''. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time), ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face), or ''dia'' (Greek for ''through'', as in to go "through" time).

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Meganium is a {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon. Instead of having a leaf coming out of its head, like its two previous forms, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Bayleef}}, it has two stamen-like protrusions sprouting from the top of its nose, each tipped with its own anther. Also unlike its previous evolutions, its irises are yellow instead of red, and its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four feet}} have three toes instead of a single one. The leaves around its neck seem to have sprouted into a large pink flower, with a yellow central pattern and white tips. Meganium has also reverted to the color it was as a Chikorita, whilst Bayleef's main body color had become a beige-yellow coloration.

====Gender differences====
A female Meganium has shorter antennae.

===Special abilities===
The aroma emanating from Meganium's petals soothes anyone that comes in contact with it. It calms aggressive feelings. In battle, Meganium uses this scent to calm its opponent and remove any desire for it to fight, giving it the upper hand. Meganium's breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants.

Since Meganium is a fully evolved Pokémon and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]], it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Meganium appear to be a very benevolent and docile species. In ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'', Nurse Joy's Meganium was a peacemaker and tried to stop the battle between {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle}} and a {{p|Tropius}}. It was also shown that Meganium could heal Grovyle prior to the battle, however this may be isolated to {{type|Grass}}s as Meganium is able to heal hurt or dead plants.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Meganium are very rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Elisa Meganium.png|thumb|200px|right|Meganium in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Casey's Meganium]]====
{{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Bayleef}} evolved into Meganium sometime before ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.

====[[Vincent's Meganium]]====
[[Ash's Bulbasaur]] had a heated battle with [[Vincent]]'s Meganium in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. Vincent also used his Meganium to help save {{p|Raikou}} in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

====Other====
A [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]'' had a Meganium, which became the object of affection for both {{AP|Ash's Grovyle|Sceptile}} and a wild {{p|Tropius}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Meganium under the ownership of an unknown Trainer battled in a qualifying match for the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]''.

An [[Officer Jenny]] from ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' had Meganium on her squad.

In ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]'', [[Elisa]] used her Meganium to stop a {{p|Donphan}} from chasing {{Ho|Hal}} and to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing the {{p|Vibrava}}.

A Meganium appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.

A Meganium appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Megaree.png|thumb|150px|right|{{adv|Crystal}}'s Meganium, Megaree]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Megaree}}
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, {{adv|Crystal}}'s Bayleef evolved into Meganium to protect {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and herself from {{p|Lugia}}. In this new stage, it was able to help the other two starter Pokémon (who had also evolved) defend their Trainers from this imminent threat and carried Crystal on its back with its increased speed and size, and then participated in the conclusive battle against the [[Masked Man]], revealed to be [[Pryce]], trying to take down the evil mastermind but being subdued by his nimble ice puppets and doing little good in the battle.

Much later, it is revealed to have learned the {{type|Grass}} ultimate attack, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, between the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} and {{chap|Emerald}}s, and helped destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s humongous, fake Kyogre.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
:'''<nowiki>===Special abilities===</nowiki>'''
:A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Adventures, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Magical Pokémon Journey, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

* {{Template|Dex}}

{{Dex
|type=grass
|redbluedex=A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.

|crystaldex=While it is young, it uses the nutrients that are stored in the seeds on its back in order to grow.
|rsedex=Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun's rays, the seed grows progressively larger.
|firereddex=There is a plant seed on its back right from the day this Pokémon is born. The seed slowly grows larger.
|leafgreendex=A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.
|stadiumdex=The bulb-like pouch on its back grows larger as it ages. The pouch is filled with numerous seeds.
|stadium2dex=The seed on its back is filled with nutrients. The seed grows steadily larger as its body grows.
|colosseumdex=Lives in forests away from people. It stores electricity in its cheeks for zapping an enemy if it is attacked.

</pre>
If an entry is unknown, delete the tag for it (that's the stuff between the | and the =, as well as the | and =). This will put the page into a category so that someone who knows what the entry is can put it in.

* {{template|Sprite}}

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=
|gender=
|ndex=
|name=
|}}
</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type. Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493, or 5 for Pokémon #494-649). If the Pokémon has a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

KoiFish: /* Possible Ancestor */

== Can this be removed? ==

I can't stress this enough Just because somthing looks simmilar to somthing else does not say anything about it's origin. Can the part about the Napalm man be removed? It is speculation and therfore does not belong in the origin section, unless there is evidence to support it (If some is found please tell me what it is). --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 00:13, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

==Last of National Dex Trivia==
I noticed this and thought it would be good trivia:
*"Genesect is the only Pokémon that was at one point the final Pokémon in the National Dex that could not be a {{type|Psychic}}."

== Genesect: Mewtwo of Gen V ==

I got a lot of hunches on this pokemon being artificially created by Team Plasma. There are some reasons why: First, both are being developed as the most strongest pokemon created by science. Second, they originated from the remains of a extinct pokemon (Mewtwo originated from a fossilized hair of Mew and Genesect originated from a bug-like fossil). Third, both villainous group shares the same goal on making them the strongest pokemon ever created to rule the world. And fourth, both of them escaped for unknown reasons in the games. But I know there are more to this relation, somehow....

== Origin of Genesect? ==

Maybe it's a plural/singular grammatical issue, but the article says that

"Genesect may be generally based on the giant insects of the Paleozoic era, although its Steel-type features give it a somewhat robotic appearance. It has existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the cockroach."

Does "it" refer to "giant insects" or does it refer to Genesect, for if it refers to Genesect, than it's wrong right? --[[User:Joeshie|+ Joeshie +]] ''([[User talk:Joeshie|is Mæ!]])'' 02:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:What are you suggesting is wrong? Genesect has existed for 300 million years, it says so in its Black dex entry (which I haven't gotten around to translating and adding yet).

:::Is Genesect actualy robotic or part robotic? This may very easily be irelevent to the outcome of it's origin, but it reminds me of Atlatian technology. It was believed that the technology of Atlantis could be used to creat powerful Vehicles, wepons and atomatons.

I was wondering - what will be done for artwork section of the event legendary Pokémon until their official Ken Sugimori art is released? I remember Arceus had fan art until its Sugimori art is revealed, so will Kerudio, Meloetta, and Genesect follow the same route?

I heard almost everyone at YouTUBE giving Genosect the nickname Dennis due to the confusion caused with Geechisu's battle music. Prior to the reveal it was Geechisu's theme instead of Genesect's theme everybody called it Dennis due to the chorus in the track.

== Evolution? ==

Why are the 5 different images of Genesect shown in the evolution? The cassettes only affect ONE move and a coloring of ONE detail, nothing else. It's no major forme change and is far less impressive than Arceus's formes, doesn't change stats, type or anything like others like Meloetta for instance. I don't think it should be considered to evolve. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 01:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:It isn't evolution, it's forme change, first of all. Second, Genesect's different formes' sprites are needed just as much as Gender differences are. Gender differences don't effect type, moves, stats, or anything! It's just a "small" difference in appearence, but its still used because it makes the article more complete showing what the different genders look like. Just like how showing Genesect's different formes make the page more complete by showing what it looks like when holding specific items. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 02:05, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I know the differences between forme, evolution and gender and this is not really making much sense. Look at Arceus, Its coloring changes but so does Its ''type'' when it holds its objects that give it that forme change - Similar to Genesect's cassettes, but a bigger change. Secondly, everyone came after me when I did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kenhorou_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1234971#Evolution this], a very obvious, but according to all the other users who ganged up on me, unimportant difference, as was also pointed out to me with [[Burungel (Pokémon)|this one]]. Genesect is somewhere between these two cases, but mostly, if ''Arceus'' is not considered evolved through its forme changes, Genesect definitely shouldn't be either. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 02:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

::::The thing is that there is a distinction between Forme differences and gender differences.

:::::On a somewhat related note, I don't quite like how the form evoboxes are set up. Using Genesect's as an example, it is linear, so it says that only certain forms can change to other ones, which is not true. Genesect holding any kind of cassette (or none at all) can then switch items to any other (or discard it). The evobox should be a big circle with arrows going between all possible combinations. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::: Might be easier to not use any arrows at all. Two-way arrows or simple lines could seem messy if we can instead figure out a placement that doesn't lend itself to strict ordering. How about 3 above and 2 below, or 2 above and 3 below? Or 2, 2, 1, with no Cassette as the odd one out? Or if that circle is really on the table, just place them in it unconnected. But other than that, I definitely see the merit in toticombinatory arrows. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 17:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

==Genesis?==
Genesect does not have an official pronunciation as of yet; it could be jenna-sect for all we know.

I wanted to add this:

Also does it look like Genesect's head has the same shape as the (hollow) 'standard' of its cannon. Making it look like its head could kinda 'click' on the 'standard'.

:Mind if I ask your point? Genesect's Polish name is already on the page. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 17:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
::Yes, it is. But why it is there if it's the same as English? Our games are in English, and we don't have our Pokémon names like Japan, [english-speaking countries], France or Spain... of course there could be exceptions, but as far as I saw, animé uses the same names, with most likely only {{tt|pronunciation|or whatever is this spelt}} changed.

:::::As far as I know, yes, we don't have separate games. This is why not many moves have Polish translation, as I get it from animé, while someone got few things like {{a|Drought}} from a book (guidebook I'll guess). Games themselves aren't officially translated (or I don't know anything about such games). I am not sure how we get them, though. Try talking to [[User talk:OldBen|OldBen]], as far as I know, he has such books (as he was the one to add Polish names for Drought, {{a|Drizzle}} and few other stuff).

==Genesect a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion?==

http://i.imgur.com/WNgWa

I think Genesect may be an homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The colour of him and his shiny sprite look very similar to the Unit-01 and Unit-02 respectively. Even down to the secondary colours used on the eyes. The stripe on the abdomen looks like the stripe on the Evas midsections. The origin story of Genesect is also very similar. The Eva units were created from a humanoid alien and modified to be piloted. The eva units are actually biological creatures with armour and a cockpit attached. Genesect's head looks similar to the mass produced eva units long heads. (Not pictured.) The choice of colours seems pretty deliberate.

: True, but as I mentioned above it looks more like one of the Insecticons from Transformers. Maybe a double reference? --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 16:35, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

== Pokedex ==

on the official pokemon website it isn't listed in the pokedex. why is that? [[User:Bryce|Bryce]] ([[User talk:Bryce|talk]]) 08:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

== Translated site ==

I don't know if this is just a translation error, but the site translated this into English:
"Pokemon Genosekuto of this newly found vision, " Pokemon Black 2 White 2 in the normal play of "can not be put in hand, special Pokemon.
Genosekuto is, would you Pokemon was born by Dan plasma to restore the fossils 300 million years ago, to remodeling!"
So does that mean Genesect can't be put into the party, or is it just misread? It's probs a mistake, since it'd be pointless not to be able to use it.-- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

== Possible Ancestor ==

Would Kabutops be considered an ancestor I mean look at the body type and stance they both seem to make. They could be deeply related despite Kabutops living in the ocean he still goes on land to hunt. {{unsigned|EvasiveEmolga}}

::It really doesn't work considering that Genesect is part bug, an attribute Kabutops doesn't have, and that their body shapes are different for example their torsos while Genesect has a typical insect body,segmented, Kabutops have 1 section to their torso. for this to have happened Plasma would have to remove a section of Kabutops and inflame the pelvis to reach the specified shape which i am positive wouldn't really serve a purpose to the pokemon. Plus shouldnt he theoretically have a gender and ability to breed with other Kabutops or pokémon in the same egg group? --[[User:Toymoo|Toymoo]] ([[User talk:Toymoo|talk]]) 18:23, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:::And, Genesect's stance is only like that because of the giant laser on its back. Also gotta lean a little to aim, just like Blastoise. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 18:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::::Of course it's not exactly the same, it's "altered". The dex doesn't say "altered by adding a cannon to its back" it says it was altered AND had a cannon attached to its back. But... There's nothing official to go off, just a lot of interesting links that can be drawn between the two. Unless someone actually bothers to ask the design team (which nobody ever does for some reason), I wouldn't say there's enough basis for it to be included in the article. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 22:08, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
:::: I think Kabutops is the ancestor of Genesect, despite that Genesect is bug type. First of all, Kabutops shares a resemblance to Genesect. Second of all, it states on [[Genesect]] that before it was modified by [[Team Plasma]], it was a skilled and a ruthless hunter, while [[Kabutops]] was a fierce prehistoric predator. Next, there could be a possibility that the revived fossil was Kabutops because there couldn't be a pokemon fossil that when revived, would look like Genesect other than the Dome fossil when Kabuto evolves into Kabutops. Finally, Kabutops and Genesect both have some of the same features like, that they both have wide flattish heads,a provident chest, the pelvis sticks out,they both have blade hands, and their leg structures are almost the same.

'''Marcus''' (Japanese: '''ギシン''' ''Gishin'') is a character and primary antagonist in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In the anime==
Marcus, who once was Damos's assistant, had come to resent {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}} due to his belief that it would allow [[Michina Town]] to return to being a wasteland if the [[Jewel of Life]] was reclaimed. This led Marcus to become the driving force behind [[Damos]]'s apparent betrayal of it. By using his {{p|Bronzong}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}, he was able to control Damos and force him to destroy Arceus while not returning the [[Jewel of Life]]. However during the original turn of events, he had fallen to his death along with Damos after Arceus survived the attack and counterattacked.

After meeting up with [[Sheena]], who had traveled to the past to stop Damos's apparent betrayal of Arceus, he learned how the future would have turned out as well as his own death. He then changed his plans to include silver water as well while attacking Arceus. This proved to be very effective and left the Alpha Pokémon helpless as the overall assault immobilized it. However, Sheena and Damos were able to communicate with the hearts of all the Pokémon, including {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Heatran}}, making them turn against Marcus, and Ash was able to make him give up the Jewel of Life by wrestling with him until he dropped it. As Ash caught the jewel and rushed with his Pikachu to return it to Arceus, Dawn, her Piplup, and another group consisting of a Chikorita, a Cyndaquil, a Totodile, and multiple Rattata, cornered Marcus, preventing him from following.

Even then, however, Marcus wasn't defeated yet. Although the Pokémon had stopped attacking and Ash had the Jewel of Life with Marcus unable to get it back, Arceus, now stranded at the bottom of the shrine, was by that time on the edge of death as the silver water continued to bury it. This, in turn, set off a strange sequence that nearly destroyed Ash, Brock, Dawn, Pikachu, Piplup, and Sheena, with Ash and Pikachu disappearing first as Marcus explained to Dawn what was going on.

At that moment, just as all seemed lost, Damos managed to reach the last remaining spark of life in Arceus's heart, giving it enough strength to reabsorb the Jewel of Life and fully recover, thus thwarting Marcus's plans and saving everyone from destruction (except Damos himself and a Pichu he befriended, who did not start disappearing). Marcus's scream was then heard and his crown seen on the ledge where he was standing, implying that he fell.

The fall did not kill him, as it was revealed that Marcus had went on to work for Damos in the end credits.

==In the manga==
He appears as the primary antagonist of the movie's manga adaptation, fulfilling a similar role to his part in the movie, but with some changes. His plot is the same, but his motivations are much less altruistic, intending to use the Jewel of Life to become a god in his era. His actions are also more violent; for example, when Heatran disobeys him, he kicks it in the head repeatedly. At the climax of the story, when his plan is foiled, he commits suicide by activating a mechanism to cause the temple to collapse, causing a rockfall that is shown burying and killing him.

In the English translation of the manga adaptation, his name is spelled '''Markus'''.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Marcus's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} and manga:
===Controlled===

|epname=Arceus and the Jewel of Life

|vaen=Bill Rogers
|desc={{p|Bronzong}} was instrumental in Marcus' plan to destroy Arceus. By hypnotizing Damos, Marcus forced him to betray Arceus and refuse to return the Jewel of Life. However, Bronzong was not acting under its own will, but was being controlled by special armor. Eventually, Damos' special ability to touch the hearts of Pokémon made Bronzong realize what it was doing, and, after the armor was destroyed by {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|Peck}}, Bronzong turned on Marcus and helped defend the Trainers that had rescued it.

Bronzong's known moves are {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Gyro Ball}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|vaen=Tom Wayland
|desc={{p|Heatran}}, like Bronzong, was also forced to obey Marcus against its will by special armor. Heatran was also very powerful and also, like all Heatran, had the ability to walk on walls and ceilings with ease. Heatran was forced to battle against {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}, but eventually realized what it was doing thanks to Damos and Sheena, and it allowed {{AP|Pikachu}} to destroy its armor with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Heatran then turned on Marcus along with Bronzong.

Heatran's known moves are {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Protect}}.}}

==In the TCG==

{{cardlist/footer|Metal}}

==Trivia==
*Marcus shares the same voice actors with [[Sir Aaron]], both in English and Japanese.
*Marcus might be based off of {{wp|Judas Iscariot}}, the betrayer of {{wp|Jesus Christ}}.

===Name origin===
Marcus's English name may be derived from his warlike nature towards Pokémon, as the {{wp|Marcus (name)|name itself}} has some relation to the Roman god of war, {{wp|Mars (god)|Mars}}.

''Gishin'' can mean both "loyal retainer" and "suspicion," both aspects
of his character.

'''Damos''' (Japanese: '''ダモス''' ''Damos'') is a character from ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Like his descendant [[Sheena]], he also possesses the ability to transcend time and space to connect with the hearts of Pokémon.

==History==
Damos once witnessed Arceus sacrificing its life to save the world from meteors. Arceus sustained heavy damage doing this, and lost possession of its [[Plate]]s. Damos returned them to Arceus, and as gratitude for saving its life, Arceus granted him the [[Jewel of Life]], made of five of them, to revitalize [[Michina Town]], at that time a wasteland.

Though Arceus made Damos promise to return the Jewel of Life at the time of the next {{wp|solar eclipse}}, [[Marcus]] was fearful that Michina Town would revert to its lifeless state if this was done, and together the two betrayed Arceus, with Damos under the control of Marcus's {{p|Bronzong}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Sheena]] travel back in time with the help of Dialga to prevent Arceus's betrayal.

Thanks to the help of his friend, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], he managed to break free. He saved Sheena from certain doom and managed to convince her that he isn't a betrayer like the legend makes him out to be. Together they stop all of the Pokémon from attacking Arceus by connecting with them. Damos manages to break through Arceus's anger and connect with it thereby calming it down. He then later bids farewell to the "future children" and makes a stone engraving with them on it for them to see when they get back to the future.

'''Damos''' (Japanese: '''ダモス''' ''Damos'') is a character from ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Like his descendant [[Sheena]], he also possesses the ability to transcend time and space to connect with the hearts of Pokémon.

==History==
Damos once witnessed Arceus sacrificing its life to save the world from meteors. Arceus sustained heavy damage doing this, and lost possession of its [[Plate]]s. Damos returned them to Arceus, and as gratitude for saving its life, Arceus granted him the [[Jewel of Life]], made of five of them, to revitalize [[Michina Town]], at that time a wasteland.

Though Arceus made Damos promise to return the Jewel of Life at the time of the next {{wp|solar eclipse}}, [[Marcus]] was fearful that Michina Town would revert to its lifeless state if this was done, and together the two betrayed Arceus, with Damos under the control of Marcus's {{p|Bronzong}}'s {{m|Hypnosis}}.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}} and [[Sheena]] travel back in time with the help of Dialga to prevent Arceus's betrayal. It was revealed Marcus used to be Damos's underling but overthrew the latter and put him in prison. There he finds out from Ash and {{ashfr}} that he would betray Arceus in the near future and that Marcus is behind everything. Thanks to the help of his friend, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], he managed to break free. He saved Sheena from certain doom and managed to convince her that he isn't a betrayer like the legend makes him out to be. Together they stop all of the Pokémon from attacking Arceus by connecting with them. Damos manages to break through Arceus's anger and connect with it thereby calming it down. He then later bids farewell to the "future children" and makes a stone engraving with them on it for them to see when they get back to the future.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}} to hold. Its orignal forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February of 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing antimatter.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short, thick legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid or gas.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it was related to the two even before it was confirmed in Pokémon Platinum.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World, its home. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black, ghostly streamers on its back that each have a bright red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. The three gold half-rings in this form can be used to grip objects. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}.

====Gender differences====
Giratina is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World.

As to be expected with other {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Icy Wind}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, Black and White, or HeartGold and SoulSilver via event, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}} via level up.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at the Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
[[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in [[Distortion World|a world on the reverse side of ours]]. It was banished for violence, possibly by Arceus.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Giratina {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme anime.png|thumb|right|250px|{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme Giratina in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{mov|Giratina}}====
{{mov|Giratina}} made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{mov|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to its home during its fight with {{mov|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[M12|twelfth movie]] alongside {{mov|Dialga}}, {{mov|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.
===Minor appearances===
Giratina made its anime debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]''.

* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[creation trio|its trio]]:
** In its Origin Form, it is the only one without a Hidden Ability.
** It is the only member with [[form differences]].
** Its HP is its highest stat rather than Special Attack.
** It does not have a [[type-enhancing item]] in Diamond and Pearl ({{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb|this item}} is introduced in Platinum).
** It is the only member whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not a [[Special move|Special]] or {{type|Dragon}} move.
** It is met at level 70 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} while the other members are met at level 47. This is reversed in {{v2|Platinum}}.
** It is the only one of its trio without a jewel on its body, and therefore cannot learn {{m|Power Gem}}.
** It can learn {{m|Calm Mind}} by TM, unlike Dialga and Palkia, but not {{m|Bulk Up}} like the other two.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member with a catch rate of 3, and the only one without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the [[Mystery Dungeon]] series.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
** It is also the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its types, as well as the only {{type|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon (not including {{p|Arceus}} when holding the {{DL|Plate|Spooky Plate}}).
* Giratina along with {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Yanmega}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (by {{m|Sketch}}), are the only Pokémon that can learn all three [[Move variations|variations]] of {{m|AncientPower}}.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon. However, it is outmatched by several non-legendary Pokémon.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the most resistances and immunities of all non-{{type|Steel}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Shedinja}}.
* In Platinum, Giratina is the only Pokémon to come out from above the screen during the start of the battle. Also, it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a Poké Ball.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}; this is also stated in HeartGold and SoulSilver by [[Cynthia]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* It is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught in all five of the Generation IV main series handheld games.
* Giratina's Altered Forme received a different second frame sprite in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, but the static sprite remained the same.
* When encountered in Platinum, the game reads "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared", but it is still a wild Pokémon. It is the only Pokémon to do this.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger. However this Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphitere}}, a European dragon-like creature with wings but no legs.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''), or ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', and ''{{wp|platinum}}'' プラチナ.

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
:'''<nowiki>===Special abilities===</nowiki>'''
:A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Adventures, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Magical Pokémon Journey, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

Type should be the Pokémon's primary type. Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493, or 5 for Pokémon #494-649). If the Pokémon has a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

'''Kabutops''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブトプス''' ''Kabutops'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kabuto}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
{{p|Kabuto}}'s four insect-like legs have vanished and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|two long legs}} with two toes each stand in their place. Two long sharp claws (or sickles) extend from Kabutops's exoskeleton and several plates close the opening that used to be there. There are six hard spikes going down from the back of its neck, three on each side that lead down towards the beginning of its tail. Its head is covered in a rock-hard, semicircle-shaped armor. A stiff, brown tail protrudes from its back. Its gills have begun to change as it adapts to land.

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

===Special abilities===
Kabutops's sleek body enables it to swim faster by tucking in its limbs, folding up its claw-like sickles and wiggling. In battle, Kabutops uses its impressive scythes for offensive attacks. As a result, Kabutops is able to wield a variety of claw-based moves such as {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Slash}}. In addition to this physical means of attacking, Kabutops gains access to health stealing moves such as {{m|Mega Drain}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}. Since Kabutops is now fully evolved, it is capable of learning two powerful moves: {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Kabutops is a fierce prehistoric predator. Adaptations in its body permit it to lead a more terrestrial lifestyle than its predecessors. It is also very adaptive as shown when its prey started living on land and Kabutops adapted to living on land as well.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Kabuto is unknown, but so far [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]]s are found in all regions but [[Hoenn]]. Other facts would leave one to believe that Kabutops and Kabuto may have lived in the sea and in caves, although Kabutops could walk ashore on its newly developed legs.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Kabutops cuts open prey with its claws, then sucks up the spilled bodily fluids. In ancient times, it hunted underwater for its prey.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kabutops anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Kabutops in the anime]]
[[File:Kabutops Fossil anime.png|left|thumb|140px|A Kabutops Fossil in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Kabutops's first true appearance is in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It was one of the Fossil Pokémon that was awakened by a dynamite explosion in [[Grampa Canyon]].

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Kabutops also appeared in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. [[Oakley]] used ancient DNA to resurrect a Kabutops and an {{p|Aerodactyl}} to chase after {{Ash}} and {{p|Latias}}. In the English dub, they were once used by an evil [[Pokémon Trainer]] to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

===Minor appearances===
Kabutops first seems to appear in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' on a theme park island populated with giant mechanical Pokémon.

[[Dr. Yung]] uses a {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Kabutops in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

A Kabutops appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' at the [[Canalave Gym]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP046|Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops|Ash's Pokédex|{{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and Kabutops. It is believed these Pokémon became extinct tens of thousands of years ago. The details of their behavior are shrouded in mystery. Though some have speculated that they may still exist, none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Brock Kabutops Adventures.png|thumb|130px|[[Brock]]'s Kabutops as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In {{PAV|13}}, [[Brock]] possesses a Kabutops in his team. He explains that he met Kabutops at the Pewter Museum when [[Pewter City]] was invaded during the [[Elite Four]] saga, and has since then become a powerful fighter employing ancient attacks.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kabutops was originally known as "Lantis". This is derived from the word "{{wp|Atlantis}}".
* In [[Generation I]], Kabutops had a large diamond shaped plate on its back that was replaced in [[Generation II]] by a horn-like extension of its head.
* Kabutops has a scientific name: ''Kabutops maximis'', given in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. The only other Pokémon with a known scientific name is {{p|Oddish}}, with ''Oddium Wanderus''.
* {{p|Kabuto}} and Kabutops learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up in [[Generation I]]. However, they are no longer able to learn this move by any means.
*Kabutops most likely is the Pokémon that was modified by [[Team Plasma]], showing that Kabutops is a skilled hunter.
===Origin===Pokémon
Similarly to how {{p|Kabuto}} is based on {{wp|horseshoe crab}}s, it resembles {{wp|eurypterid}}s, prehistoric arthropods which hunted in seas and rivers and are believed to have been related to modern horseshoe crabs. The large head is also identical to the cephlon in {{wp|trilobite}}s and the spines down the back resemble thoracic sections in trilobites, though the scythes and predatory nature much more closely resemble eurypterids. Because of these cross-similarities, it may also be based on the {{wp|Cheirurus}} genus of trilobites.

====Name origin====
Kabutops derives from both 兜 ''{{wp|kabuto}}'' (helmet) and 兜蟹 ''kabutogani'' ({{wp|horseshoe crab}}). ''Tops'' might refer to the living fossil {{wp|triops}} or that its helmet is now on the top of its head and no longer covers its whole body.

'''Kabutops''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブトプス''' ''Kabutops'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kabuto}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
{{p|Kabuto}}'s four insect-like legs have vanished and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|two long legs}} with two toes each stand in their place. Two long sharp claws (or sickles) extend from Kabutops's exoskeleton and several plates close the opening that used to be there. There are six hard spikes going down from the back of its neck, three on each side that lead down towards the beginning of its tail. Its head is covered in a rock-hard, semicircle-shaped armor. A stiff, brown tail protrudes from its back. Its gills have begun to change as it adapts to land.

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

===Special abilities===
Kabutops's sleek body enables it to swim faster by tucking in its limbs, folding up its claw-like sickles and wiggling. In battle, Kabutops uses its impressive scythes for offensive attacks. As a result, Kabutops is able to wield a variety of claw-based moves such as {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|X-Scissor}} and {{m|Slash}}. In addition to this physical means of attacking, Kabutops gains access to health stealing moves such as {{m|Mega Drain}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}. Since Kabutops is now fully evolved, it is capable of learning two powerful moves: {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Kabutops is a fierce prehistoric predator. Adaptations in its body permit it to lead a more terrestrial lifestyle than its predecessors. It is also very adaptive as shown when its prey started living on land and Kabutops adapted to living on land as well.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
The exact habitat of Kabuto is unknown, but so far [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]]s are found in all regions but [[Hoenn]]. Other facts would leave one to believe that Kabutops and Kabuto may have lived in the sea and in caves, although Kabutops could walk ashore on its newly developed legs.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Kabutops cuts open prey with its claws, then sucks up the spilled bodily fluids. In ancient times, it hunted underwater for its prey.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kabutops anime.png|right|thumb|250px|Kabutops in the anime]]
[[File:Kabutops Fossil anime.png|left|thumb|140px|A Kabutops Fossil in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Kabutops's first true appearance is in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It was one of the Fossil Pokémon that was awakened by a dynamite explosion in [[Grampa Canyon]].

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Kabutops also appeared in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. [[Oakley]] used ancient DNA to resurrect a Kabutops and an {{p|Aerodactyl}} to chase after {{Ash}} and {{p|Latias}}. In the English dub, they were once used by an evil [[Pokémon Trainer]] to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They have blank, yellow-tinted eyes with no pupils and are lined with a thick black outline.

===Minor appearances===
Kabutops first seems to appear in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' on a theme park island populated with giant mechanical Pokémon.

[[Dr. Yung]] uses a {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Kabutops in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

A Kabutops appeared in the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

Another one appeared in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' at the [[Canalave Gym]].

{{Animedexbody|EP046|Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops|Ash's Pokédex|{{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Omastar}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and Kabutops. It is believed these Pokémon became extinct tens of thousands of years ago. The details of their behavior are shrouded in mystery. Though some have speculated that they may still exist, none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.}}

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kabutops was originally known as "Lantis". This is derived from the word "{{wp|Atlantis}}".
* In [[Generation I]], Kabutops had a large diamond shaped plate on its back that was replaced in [[Generation II]] by a horn-like extension of its head.
* Kabutops has a scientific name: ''Kabutops maximis'', given in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. The only other Pokémon with a known scientific name is {{p|Oddish}}, with ''Oddium Wanderus''.
* {{p|Kabuto}} and Kabutops learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up in [[Generation I]]. However, they are no longer able to learn this move by any means.
*Kabutops shares a resemblance to [[Genesect]], possibly showing that Kabutops may be the fossil Pokémon that was modified by [[Team Plasma]].
===Origin===
Similarly to how {{p|Kabuto}} is based on {{wp|horseshoe crab}}s, it resembles {{wp|eurypterid}}s, prehistoric arthropods which hunted in seas and rivers and are believed to have been related to modern horseshoe crabs. The large head is also identical to the cephlon in {{wp|trilobite}}s and the spines down the back resemble thoracic sections in trilobites, though the scythes and predatory nature much more closely resemble eurypterids. Because of these cross-similarities, it may also be based on the {{wp|Cheirurus}} genus of trilobites.

====Name origin====
Kabutops derives from both 兜 ''{{wp|kabuto}}'' (helmet) and 兜蟹 ''kabutogani'' ({{wp|horseshoe crab}}). ''Tops'' might refer to the living fossil {{wp|triops}} or that its helmet is now on the top of its head and no longer covers its whole body.
