[[Image:RedStart.png|thumb|200px|{{ga|Red}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon journey]] is about to begin...]]
A '''player character''' in the world of [[Pokémon]] is the protagonist of the {{pkmn|games}}, the avatar of the player. Player characters are usually remarkably silent, only able to answer yes and no to questions. This is so that the player can "fill in" what they imagine the character is thinking, feeling and acting, thus immersing the player within the world of the game.

==Main series==
In the mainstream games, they are always [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. At the conclusion of their journey, most will have conquered a [[Pokémon League]]'s eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Those who do the above will most often start their journey in their hometown by getting, or shortly before getting, a [[starter Pokémon]], a Pokémon that appears very early in their native [[region]]'s [[Regional Pokédex|Pokédex]], and is of the {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type2|Water}}. The region's native [[Pokémon professor]] will always give them this, as well as a Pokédex.

In {{game|Crystal}}, and each game in the [[main series]] which followed it, players were also able to pick the [[gender]] of the lead, more often than not to match their own.

Aside from the standard that many of the games' player characters take in their journey, there are also several other ways in which other player characters complete their journey, such as [[Wes]] and [[Michael]] who must defeat [[Cipher]] and free all of their [[snagged Pokémon]] from their [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow state]].

To date, only one player character has reappeared from an older generation. In [[Generation II]], when {{ga|Gold}} or {{ga|Kris}} travels to [[Mt. Silver]] and reaches the deepest point of the cave, {{ga|Red}} is found, utterly silent as he was under the player's control, to challenge to the second highest-[[level]]ed [[Pokémon battle]] that has appeared in the series. The [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|original games]] from [[Generation I]] also got [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]] in [[Generation III]], with Red as the male protagonist. Red is assumed to also appear in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, serving the same role as he did in Generation II.

==Side series==
In the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} series, [[Solana]], [[Lunick]], [[Kellyn]], and {{ra|Kate}} are not Pokémon Trainers, but instead {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s. They use the Pokémon they have captured with the [[Capture Styler]] to help them along the way. They also have [[partner Pokémon]] that follow them wherever they go.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon series]], players play as actual Pokémon for the first time. Unlike most other Pokémon games, the player actually talks.

In the Card GB series, [[Mark]] and [[Mint]] do not use actual Pokémon themselves, but cards instead.

==Others==
In {{g|Snap}}, [[Todd Snap]] must strive for something different from Trainers. He must capture all the Pokémon on [[Pokémon Island]] — on film.

In [[Pokémon Trozei!]], players control [[Lucy Fleetfoot]].

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, five of the player characters have been given major roles, three of them in the main anime series. {{Ash}} and [[Ritchie]] represent {{ga|Red}}, being based on him in appearance as well as basic history. At the beginning of {{series2|Advanced Generation}}, {{an|May}} was introduced in order to better represent [[Generation III]] to viewers, as both [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] are characters native to [[Generation I]]. Likewise, at the beginning of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{an|Dawn}} joined Ash.

{{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}} appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, taking a similar role to Ash and his companions, fighting [[Team Rocket]] members to protect [[legendary Pokémon]]. While the protagonists of [[Generation II]] were not represented in Ash's party, these two filled the roles as the anime counterparts to {{ga|Gold}} and {{ga|Kris}}.

So far, {{ga|Brendan}} has only made a few select cameo appearances in the anime, while {{ga|Lucas}} made a cameo at the beginning of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' battling {{ga|Brendan}}.

==Trivia==
* All of the female player characters from the main series who have been in the anime are [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s either full-time or part-time.
* None of the male player characters from the [[main series]] (or their counterparts) have encountered {{Ash}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} was the only one besides Ash to have more than merely a cameo. The only male player character in all of the Pokémon games to have encountered Ash is [[Kellyn]] of {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.
* Leaf and Soul are the only player characters from the handheld games so far not to appear in the anime either through a cameo or a counterpart.
* [[Kellyn]], {{OBP|Kate|Ranger}}, [[Todd]], and [[Wes]] are the only player characters who do not wear any sort of headgear.

'''Ho-Oh''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホウオウ''' ''Houou'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Lugia}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Ho-Oh is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Gold}} and {{game|HeartGold}}, appearing on the boxart of the former.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ho-Oh is a phoenix-like bird with red being its dominant color. Ho-Oh also has yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. Ho-Oh has a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its eye and a feathered-crest. Ho-Oh's wings are prismatic, causing it to trail a rainbow behind it.
====Gender differences====
Ho-Oh is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ho-Oh's most notable ability is its power to resurrect the dead. Ho-Oh is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Sacred Fire}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Ho-Oh used to perch at the top of [[Tin Tower]] until the [[Brass Tower]] was destroyed by fire. It now presumably flies through the world's skies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ho-Oh anime.PNG|thumb|{{an|Ho-Oh}} in the anime]]
A {{an|Ho-Oh}} appeared to {{Ash}} at the end of [[EP001|the first episode]], flying across the sky after the thunderstorm. His Pokédex could not identify it. It was the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be seen.

According to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ho-Oh lived in the [[Tin Tower]] in ancient times. When a war broke out, burning both the Tin Tower and the Brass Tower down, it created {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, and all four disappeared. Later, a new Tin Tower was erected, but Ho-Oh since then has never come back for sure. A sacred flame from Ho-Oh burns in the [[Dragon's Den]]; it was obtained during the same war.

After competing in the [[Silver Conference]], Ash saw Ho-Oh flying towards [[Hoenn]]. This encouraged him to get over his depression at his loss and continue his journey.

Ho-Oh had a cameo appearance during the opening sequence for ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]], {{p|Mew}} transforms into Ho-Oh, making it the first in-movie appearance of Ho-Oh, not counting cameos.

Ho-Oh was most recently seen flying into the sunset at the end of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''. This time, [[Brock]], {{an|May}}, [[Max]], [[Scott]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} saw Ho-Oh as well.

Ho-Oh made a small cameo in the introduction of the movie ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], Ho-Oh was used by [[Pryce]] to kidnap children in his plans to capture {{p|Celebi}}, including {{Special|Blue}} and {{Special|Silver}}, five years prior to the start of the entire manga. Prior to the events of the GSC saga, Pryce had lost his control over Ho-Oh, and thus attacked [[Tin Tower]] using [[Team Rocket]] to prompt Ho-Oh to return to [[Ecruteak City]]. Ho-Oh was later seen at [[Indigo Plateau]] under Pryce's control, alongside {{p|Lugia}}, wreaking havoc and destruction.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ho-Oh (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Ho-Oh figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Ho-Oh|4}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Ho-Oh Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Ho-Oh in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Ho-Oh unleashes a spiral of {{m|Sacred Fire}} that deals massive amounts of damage to any opponent caught in it.

==Trivia==
* Aside from the opening theme song, which featured {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, and the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]], Ho-Oh was the first [[legendary Pokémon]] ever seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Ho-oh is also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to be shown in the anime, making it the first sign that the franchise would ever expand beyond 151.
* Ho-Oh's English name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Girafarig}}.
* Ho-Oh is one of eight Pokémon to have a non-alphabetic character in its name. {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}} are the other seven Pokémon.
* Ho-Oh's [[Generation IV]] sprite is similar to its [[Generation III]] sprite, except bigger. It shares this trait with {{p|Steelix}} and {{p|Magby}}.
* Ho-Oh and {{p|Raikou}} are the only [[Generation II]] [[legendary Pokémon]] to not appear in their own {{g|movie}}.
** Ho-Oh has appeared in cameo roles in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* Ho-Oh is the tallest {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and is tied for the highest Attack stat of them all with {{p|Flareon}}.
*At Navel Rock, Ho-Oh's overworld sprite has its bottom feathers colored blue, instead of the green feathers featured in Ho-Oh's battle sprites and Ken Sugimori artwork.

===Origin===
Ho-Oh, like {{p|Moltres}}, is based on the legend of the {{wp|Phoenix}}; unlike Moltres, it is based on the Fènghuáng (the immortal phoenix of China). Many cultures view the Phoenix as a symbol of resurrection; this is seen in Ho-Oh, which was reborn rising from [[Sacred Ash|its own ashes]] and had a hand in resurrecting {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}.

On another note, the colors it bears are somewhat similar to a {{wp|Scarlet Macaw}} or {{wp|adarna}}, a mythological Filipino bird that is said to sing seven songs. Every time that the Adarna finishes a song, it defecates and turns to stone whomever it may land on. Its feathers change to a more beautiful shade, becoming more colorful and shiny just the same as Ho-Oh.
====Name origin====
Its English name is simply another way of transcribing 鳳凰 ''Hōō'', which is the Japanese word for phoenix, specifically the Chinese phoenix, or ''[[wp:Fenghuang|Fènghuáng]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ho-Oh
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 칠색조 ''Chilsaekjo'' - Means "Seven-colored bird."

Poké Ball

2009-05-18T11:09:37Z

Ktsune: corrected pronoun usage; when referring to singular noun (a Trainer), "he or she" should be used in place of "they".

{{Featured}}
[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|thumb|right|A Poké Ball as seen in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] critical in any {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest. It is used for {{pkmn2|captured|capturing}} and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a {{pkmn|Trainer}} may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as he or she desires. However, a Trainer may only carry up to six [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a Trainer owns more than six Pokémon, they may be stored in a [[Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are four different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

A Poké Ball also limits the strength of the Pokémon inside it.
==Mechanics==
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a {{pkmn|battle}}, once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the Trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the Trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.
[[Image:PokeballWrong.PNG|thumb|left|Common misspelling, "Pokéball", seen in an official Pokémon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EB7Jhv8mS8 promotional video]]]
Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A Trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he or she can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and they will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a Trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and point it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. If this beam hits a person for any reason, that person will be momentarily stunned. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will, several examples being [[Jessie's Seviper]] (only when {{p|Zangoose}} are involved), [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[May's Skitty]], and more famously, [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[Brock's Croagunk]]. Also, if a Pokémon is being sent out, but does not wish to exit its Poké Ball, when the flash of light emerges from the Poké Ball, it will make a u-turn back to the open ball, turn red, and re-enter the Poké Ball. This happened in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', when [[Gary Oak]] attempted to send out several unnamed Pokémon to battle the wild {{p|Diglett}}. It also happened when {{Ash}} attempted to send out his {{AP|Squirtle}} (though before he threw the ball, {{AP|Pikachu}} yelled something to Squirtle), and when numerous Trainers attempted to send out their Pokémon.
[[Image:Chimchar release.jpg|[[Paul]] releasing {{AP|Chimchar}}|thumb]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a miniature size, about the same size as a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the Trainer has on-hand. If the Trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using. They also have the ability to "mark" their captures - as shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', when Dawn attempts to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]] - so that they cannot be captured by other Poké Balls after captures. This has shown some inconsistency in the series, particularly in older episodes such as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'' when Jessie throws a Poké Ball at [[Otoshi]]'s Doduo which has to be reflected by Otoshi himself, like in the games.

When a Pokémon is released from its ball, it usually has a burst of light come out with it, which varies depending on the Ball the Pokémon is contained in (normally a white light in the anime).
[[Image:RealeasingPokemon.png|thumb|Sending out a Pokémon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
However, when a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s are used, visual effects will accompany the Pokémon's release. It has also been shown that if a Pokémon is sent out with a blue light, that Pokémon will be released and will be able to go back into the wild (in the anime, one can also break the Poké Ball, like in the cases of [[Brock]] and [[Jessie]], while releasing {{p|Ninetales}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, respectively.)

==Poké Ball accuracy==
Poké Balls obviously do not always succeed in capturing the Pokémon (except where Master Balls are concerned), but in some cases, it's possible for a Poké Ball to not even come into contact with the wild Pokémon.

*In [[Generation I]], there was a chance that a Poké Ball could miss the target, the message coming up "You missed the Pokémon!". This usually happens within the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] or while battling {{p|Snorlax}} or a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
*In [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]], the [[Literal ghost|ghosts]] would dodge any thrown ball, as would the ghost of the {{p|Marowak}} (even after being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]).
*In [[Generation IV]], if in a [[double battle]] with two wild Pokémon and one of the five partners, the player needs to knock out one of the Pokémon before attempting to capture the other. If not, the game does not allow either to be captured, with the message of "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" This is a contradiction to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, in which it is possible to snag a Pokémon even when there are two on the opponent's side of the field, although it's possible that the abilities of the [[Snag Machine]] somehow negated this issue.

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[Poké Spot]]s, however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found normally in each game (though it can be won in all other generations after the first; it is the grand prize for the [[Lucky Channel|Lucky Number show]], [[Lilycove Department Store|Lilycove City's Lottery]], and at [[Jubilife TV]]). It could be sold for {{PDollar}}0 in Generations I and II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.

=====Super Smash Bros. Series=====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon.

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

====In the anime====
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|A Poké Ball in the anime]]
Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are very rare or even non-existent.
[[File:Master ball.png|left|thumb|[[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball]]
A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole and escaped back into the water. However, much time prior, a Master Ball sort of appeared, albeit as a beach ball in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', and after in ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

Safari Balls were seen in [[EP035]]. In this episode, {{Ash}} received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, in all subsequent airings they have been in regular Poké Balls.

[[Image:Rice Ball Poké Ball.jpg|right|thumb|A [[rice ball]] inside Ash's Poké Ball]]
Occasionally, an [[item]] will be caught instead of a [[Pokémon]], such as a [[rice ball]] or something else that would be smaller than the Poké Ball. The greatest example, if not the only, is when {{Ash}} tried catching [[Ash's Primeape|Mankey]] in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. These, however, are just jokes. For example, in a commercial for [[Kids' WB!]], Ash caught a talking sock singing that Ash couldn't catch him.

If a Poké Ball is used to try to capture a human, the human will get shocked with electricity instead of being captured.

Named in ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', the Poké Ball a Pokémon is temporarily held in before being given to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s is called a "starter Poké Ball". In the anime only, a Pokémon is held in one of these temporary containments which do not 'mark' the Pokémon, so it can then be assigned to one of the six regular Poké Balls given to the trainer. Starter Poké Balls look identical to regular Poké Balls, but are occasionally marked with some form of identification, such as a lightning-bolt or writing, such as the one which held [[Ash's Pikachu]]. In the games, however, the player is simply given 5 Poké Balls plus the Pokémon, already assigned a ball.

The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Twenty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all twenty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.

====In the anime====
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Casey}} compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture [[Brock's Forretress|a Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

====In [[Pokémon Special]]====
Both {{Special|Gold}} and {{Special|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. Kurt says that the Poké Balls would work only where its life energy is most concentrated.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

In this generation, the type of Ball used to capture a Pokémon was kept track of by the game itself, so that when Trainers sent out their Pokémon, the type of effect could vary. In this way, two Balls with the same effectiveness, such as the Safari Ball and Great Ball, or Poké Ball and Premier Ball, would differ.

In Generation III, the Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball; however, it is available for normal purchase in Generation IV. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning [[Pokémon Contests]]. It is also given in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} by [[Selphy|Lady Selphy]] for showing her the Pokémon she asks for. Taking advantage of being able to track what kind of Ball a Pokémon is in, rather than applying a flat happiness bonus like the Friend Ball did, it heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten or more Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]], [[Orre]], and [[Sinnoh]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{type2|Water}}. It can also be obtained from the Fishing Guru's younger brother in [[Silence Bridge]] after showing him a {{p|Magikarp}}.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after going through [[Rusturf Tunnel]] from [[Verdanturf Town]] for the first time, or from [[Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island Market Stall]] after saving [[Lostelle]], beating the {{ka|Elite Four}}, buying every item in the stall at least once and then leaving and returning to the area.

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.

====In the anime====
The Luxury Ball and the Repeat Ball made a short cameo appearance in the beginning of ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', containing {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Shiftry}}.

===[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls===
====In the games====
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

All of the Generation I and Generation III Poké Balls are also available, though the Dive Ball can only be obtained randomly through the man in [[Solaceon Town]] upon showing him the Pokémon he asks for, or transferred ahead held by a Pokémon via [[Pal Park]]. This is due to a lack of use for it in Sinnoh. The Park Ball is colored [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|gold and silver]], with a [[Pokémon Crystal|light blue]] center, and is a temporary containment used for show. It is the only Poké Ball (aside from the [[Snag Ball]]) with the ability to override another Poké Ball's "mark" on a Pokémon. After capture, the Pokémon is put into the Poké Ball it was captured in. Whether the Park Ball would work on a regular [[wild Pokémon]] not already captured is not known.

Cherish Balls cannot be acquired for use without [[cheating]]; instead, they contain Pokémon distributed at [[event]]s.

Luxury Balls function differently in this generation: they can be bought, and the factor the happiness is increased by varies with the event. For detail, see [[Happiness#Generation IV|this page]].
 

===In the manga===
[[Image:Seadraspe.PNG|thumb|right|{{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Special]]]]
[[Image:Pkballdengeki.PNG|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, one can see the miniature of the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball; the type of ball doesn't matter. Already captured Pokémon can be re-captured, as shown when Red re-catches Misty's Gyarados.

In the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, however, the center of a Poké Ball has a small number to differentiate it from others.
In one chapter of this series, Ash suggests to have a large Poké Ball built as a trap to capture a giant Haunter (Black Fog). The plan succeeded, but Haunter used Explosion from inside, destroying the trap in the process.

==Other Poké Balls==
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.

===In the games===
; [[Pester Ball]]s
: Seen in {{g|Snap}}, this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.

; [[GS Ball]]
: Seen in {{game|Crystal}}, this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]].

; [[Snag Ball]]s
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a [[Pokémon battle]] as if it were wild.

===In the anime===
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in [[Pokémon 4Ever]] when [[Professor Oak|Sammy]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design. Hollowed-out Apricorn berries, much like [[Kurt]]'s custom Poké Balls, may also have been used in the past to hold Pokémon.

[[Image:Green pokeball.JPG|thumb|200px|A green Poké Ball]]
; Green Poké Balls
: Official name unknown. In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', in the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|battle}} seen at the very start of the episode, one Trainer, presumably [[Bruno]], throws out a green Poké Ball which contains an {{p|Onix}}. This was the first Poké Ball seen in the anime. No details on this Poké Ball were given, and its color has never been explained; shortly after in the episode, regular red Poké Balls are used.
: It is possibly supposed to be some special sort of Poké Ball, like a Great Ball or Ultra Ball, to help show the elite status of the Trainers battling. Additionally, since some [[Generation II]] information was known at this point, it could be an early assumption of one of the [[apricorn]] balls. If this were the case, then it would be most likely a Friend Ball. It's also very similar to a Safari Ball anime design, except it doesn't have an "S" letter. It is interesting to note that in the Ruby/Sapphire artwork of [[Brendan]], he is shown with a Green Poké Ball. The reason for this is unknown.
: It may also very simply be a Poké Ball painted green, or a customized Poké Ball colored green to make it easier for its Trainer to identify, or maybe even a regular Poké Ball colored differently because of the lighting.

; Solid Gold Poké Balls
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

; Mewtwo's Poké Balls/Clone Balls
: Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which have already been captured by a Trainer, and Pokémon which are already inside their Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned. Mewtwo's Poké Balls do not make the same sound as regular Poké Balls when they open, but otherwise their function is the same. Some Pokémon fans on the Internet refer to them as '''Shadow Balls''', but this is misleading because this type of Poké Ball has nothing to do with [[Shadow Pokémon]]; '''Shadow Ball''' is also the name of {{m|Shadow Ball|a Ghost-type Pokémon move}} first seen in the same movie.

; [[GS Ball]]
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to {{Ash}}, who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. Despite this, its purpose is completely unknown, since it was never mentioned again after being given to Kurt, and has most likely been forgotten. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds. It bears a striking resemblance with the Park Ball (seen above).

; Lake Balls
[[Image:Lake_Ball.jpg|The Seaking Catching Competition announcer holding a Lake Ball|thumb]]
: These balls were used only in the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]], similar to the Park Balls used in the Bug-Catching Contest. They only appeared in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', and have not been seen since. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball.
[[Image:Vicious.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Vicious]] holding a Dark Ball]]
; [[Dark Ball]]s
: These were used by [[The Iron Masked Marauder]] in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them, as well as raise them to the highest level. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}. The Poké Balls were quite powerful in the movie as one of them were used to catch a {{p|Tyranitar}} without any problem.
[[Image:Chansey PokeBall.PNG|right|200px|thumb|A disguised [[Nurse Joy]] holding [[Nurse Joy's Chansey|her Chansey's]] Poké Ball]]

; Crystal Poké Balls
:These were created by the {{OBP|Unown|Spell of the Unown}} for [[Molly Hale|Molly]] to battle with during ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.

; Rocket Poké Balls
:These were used in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', and look like normal Poké Balls but black with a red "R" on them. Hundreds were used by the many Rockets in the special.

; {{p|Chansey}} Poké Balls
: Used by a [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

; Other Poké Balls
: In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{AP|Pikachu}}'s Poké Ball has a small lightning bolt mark on the top half of the ball, presumably added by [[Professor Oak]] to differentiate it from the Pokémon he would usually hand out as [[starter Pokémon|starters]].

:[[Ritchie]]'s Poké Balls bear a star-shaped sticker on the top half, so that he knows which ones are his if needed.

; Other uses of Poké Balls in the anime
: When {{Ash}} and {{Gary}} break a rusty, old Poké Ball they fished out of a pond, they each keep a piece as a symbol of their rivalry.

:Poké Balls are used in several places to symbolize Pokémon; for example, the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} logo, either three entwined Poké Balls, or alternatively, half a stylized Poké Ball, as seen on Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} caps.

:A Poké Ball design marks the floor of most Pokémon Centers. Sometimes the roofs are also designed to look like a Poké Ball.

:The first Pokédex entry given in the anime was for the Poké Ball: "While being trained, a Pokémon usually stays inside its Poké Ball. However, there are many exceptions. [[Ash's Pikachu|Some Pokémon]] hate being confined. To capture a Pokémon, you ''usually'' have your own Pokémon battle with the other."
 

===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===
[[Image:Aqua - Aqua Ball.jpg|thumb|right|An Aqua Ball|150px]][[Image:Magma - Magma Ball.jpg|thumb|right|A Magma Ball|150px]]
; {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}, {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, and {{TCG|EX Crystal Guardians}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.

* Also, on the card '''Lt. Surge's Secret Plan''', [[Lt. Surge]] is seen holding a Master Ball. The significance of this is unknown.

==Trivia==

*In the games, all opponents keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, as opposed to the many other kinds of Balls. The reason for this is unknown. In the anime, the same is usually said to be true, but occassionally other special Poké Balls are used, (such as Brendan's cameo, and Ash and Misty using their Lure Balls.)
*In the handheld games, items are found in what appear to be normal Poké Balls; however, the console games choose to use large Poké Ball shaped chests for this purpose.
*Some [[Generation III]] Poké Balls are similar in function to some [[Generation II]] Poké Balls: Nest Ball is better for catching low-level Pokémon like the Level Ball, the Dive Ball is good for catching Pokémon found on the water like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises happiness quicker like the Friend Ball.
*In {{wp|Super Mario Galaxy}}, there is a galaxy named Buoy Base Galaxy which has a big sphere above it that looks very similar to a Poké Ball. It even has a button in the middle of it.

Caught Pokémon

2009-05-18T11:01:22Z

Ktsune: added Luxury Ball and Friend Ball links for "happiness" reference

'''Captured Pokémon''' are [[Pokémon]] that have been put in the control of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] by the use of a [[Poké Ball]], [[Capture Styler]] or [[Traded Pokémon|trading]] with another Trainer. The capturing process typically involves a {{pkmn|battle}} in which the Pokémon is at first weakened and/or affected with a [[status ailment]], and then the Trainer throws a Poké Ball (or upgraded version) at said Pokémon in order to catch it. Capturing Pokémon is central to all canons in the Pokémon franchise; a captured Pokémon can be used in battling and for quests to aid Trainers, whereas Pokémon in the wild cannot, except in some episodes in the anime. Pokémon that are captured, however, do not need to obey their masters; if a Pokémon is traded and the Trainer does not have the [[badge]] required, it may disobey and refuse to attack during battles. According to the anime, even with many badges or being [[Ash's Pikachu|under original ownership]], [[Ash's Charizard|many Pokémon]] still may refuse to battle until trust is gained between the Trainer and Pokémon.

Captured Pokémon are stronger than [[wild Pokémon|Pokémon in the wild]] in the {{pkmn|games}}. At the same level, a captured Pokémon will have more points in every statistic than a wild one; this is due to the fact that captured Pokémon gain [[EV]]s from every battle they partake in, and therefore, on training, will gain points in their stats based on what they've encountered. This becomes more and more obvious at the later stages of the game, where the higher levels allow for a greater disparity of stats between captured and wild Pokémon, especially those raised from a low level, giving the Trainer a more decisive edge in wild battles. It's important to note, however, that Pokémon controlled by other Trainers are just as strong statistically (at the same level) as the player's are. Captured Pokémon can level up and learn new moves in battle, while wild Pokémon cannot, and can [[evolution|evolve]].

Newly captured Pokémon are no stronger or weaker than their wild counterparts, with the exception of innate [[Individual values|IV]] differences.
Using an [[Luxury Ball|upgraded]] [[Friend Ball|version]] of a Poké Ball may increase the [[happiness]] of the captured Pokémon upon capture, as well.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, {{Ash}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] show confusion when they first witness [[Solana]] use her [[Capture Styler]]. The term "capture" seems like an entirely new concept to them even though they are supposed to be familiar with the word.
** This is really just in the English dub. The Japanese may use a different phrase, or it could be they were meant to be confused by the [[Pokémon Ranger (Ranger series)|Ranger]] method.
** Even so, the standard method of obtaining Pokémon in a Poké Ball is often referred to as "catching" them, rather than "capturing" them.

Ktsune:

[[Image:Bridgette.jpg|100px|thumb|Art of Brigette from Box]]
'''Brigette''' (Japanese: '''アズサ''' ''Azusa'') is the older sister of [[Lanette]] and is the host of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]]. She upgraded the [[Pokémon storage system]] with the ability to hold 1500 [[Pokémon]], and the ability to select and move multiple Pokémon at once.

She's also generous, and will give away [[Pokémon egg]]s containing special Pokémon if certain conditions are met:

*{{p|Swablu}} with {{m|False Swipe}}: receive at the start.
*{{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}: 100 Pokémon from one game.
*{{p|Skitty}} with {{m|Pay Day}}: 500 Pokémon from one game.
*{{p|Pichu}} with {{m|Surf}}: 1499 Pokémon from one game.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
She, along with her sister, went to Kanto to upgrade its [[Pokémon storage system]], and make it possible to exchange Pokémon with Hoenn.

She owns this Pokémon:

'''Zoey''' (Japanese: '''ノゾミ''' ''Nozomi'') is a {{g|Coordinator}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s [[rival]]. She first appeared in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault]]''.

==History==
[[Image:Nozomiopening.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Zoey and Dawn in ''[[Together]]'']]
Unlike most rivals, Zoey is kind and helpful towards Dawn, and is greeted as a friend. She is frusturated by people who compete in both contests and Gym battles, saying, "they need to make up their minds". This is seen in her reactions to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'' and [[Nando]] in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]''. For that she apologized to Ash for her behavior in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]''.

Zoey is largely responsible for the [[trade]] of {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}} and {{AP|Ash's Buizel|Buizel}}. In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'', she first suggested that Ash should give Aipom to Dawn. In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'' she brought it up again, but this time she suggested a trade after she saw how Buizel had more of a love for battling rather than contests. Ash and Dawn eventually agreed to it and traded their Pokémon.
{{left clear}}

In ''[[DP012|Arrival of a Rival]]'' she won the [[Jubilife City]] {{pkmn|Contest}} {{pkmn|battle|battling}} in the final with [[Jessie]]. Furthermore, it was revealed in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' that the first [[ribbon]] she won was in a battle with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region.

In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'' she lost the battle against {{an|May}} in the semi-finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
[[File:Young Zoey.png|left|thumb|200px|Young Zoey]]
Zoey appeared again in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'' where she was shown battling [[Fantina]]. Zoey battled Fantina's {{p|Mismagius}} with her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} but lost. It was also revealed that {{TP|Zoey|Shellos}} helped her earn her third ribbon.

Zoey appeared in [[DP126]] where Ash and his friends learn about her childhood. She had been friends with [[Candice]] since she was young and, while she wanted to be a Top {{pkmn|Coordinator}}, Candice wanted to be a champion. They promised each other to follow their goals and as such Zoey looked down on people who did both. She also appeared in [[DP127]] watching Ash's gym battle with Candice. She will also appear again in [[DP128]].

==Pokémon==
The following are Zoey's known [[Pokémon]]:

==Trivia==
* Counting only major characters, Zoey is the first female [[rival]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* Zoey's Japanese name is Nozomi while Dawn's is Hikari. The ''Hikari'' and the ''Nozomi'' are two Shinkansen "bullet train" lines. The Nozomi is faster than the Hikari.
* Zoey has more than one outfit for contests.
* Zoey slightly resembles [[Bridgette]], the host of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]].

Pokémon Storage System

2009-05-16T13:06:57Z

Ktsune: added the term "platinum" to a section, next to the terms Diamond & Pearl

A '''Pokémon storage system''' allows [[Pokémon]] to be stored and transmitted as computer data, and allows Trainers to keep more than the six Pokémon allowed in the [[party]]. The first such system was originally developed by [[Bill]]. There have been at least five versions of the storage system seen in various games.

==Versions==
There have been at least five versions of the storage system seen in various games:

* '''[[Bill]]'s storage system''' (Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}) is a storage system used in both regions of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. In both generations, Bill's system can store 20 Pokémon per box, while there are twelve boxes in Generation I and fourteen in Generation II. Generation II also adds the ability to rename the boxes for easier organization.
* '''[[Lanette]]'s storage system''' (as seen in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) is an entirely new storage system, with a graphical user interface and the capacity to store up to 420 Pokémon in fourteen boxes, each of which can hold thirty Pokémon. An added feature is usage of the <sc>start</sc> and <sc>select</sc> button, which respectively move the cursor to go to the box title and highlight the cursor, giving strict movement of Pokémon.
* '''[[Brigette]]'s storage system''' (as seen in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]]) is based on Lanette's storage system, but with greatly expanded capacity and an improved interface; it can hold up to 1500 Pokémon, and allows the user to move many Pokémon at once.
* '''Lanette's storage system''' (upgraded by Bill, as seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}) adds the ability to manage held items directly from the PC and can move mass amounts of Pokémon at once like Brigette's system.
* '''[[Bebe]]'s storage system''' (seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}): it is the same as Lanette's system, but the number of boxes has been increased from fourteen to eighteen, for a maximum capacity of 540. It was created with help from Bill. It is possibly an upgraded version of Bill's modification of Lanette's system. In {{game|Platinum}}, six more wallpaper designs were added.

==Wallpaper==
[[image:Wallpaper.PNG‎|frame|right|Team Galactic Wallpaper]]
Wallpaper is a background to the Pokémon storage system. Beginning with the interface of [[Generation III]], the background of each box can be decorated with one of sixteen different default wallpapers. It can be changed, making it easier to distinguish between boxes. Changing wallpaper doesn't affect the Pokémon in the storage system.

In {{game|Emerald}}, certain unique phrases will result in [[Walda]] in Rustboro giving the player a special, customizable wallpaper design by cheering her up and making her laugh. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, different wallpaper can be unlocked by getting one number correct in the Lotto. In addition, eight special wallpapers can be unlocked by using unique phrases by a man in [[Jubilife TV]] located in [[Jubilife City]] in a manner similar to {{pkmn|Emerald}}. Online generators have been created to supply players with these phrases, using player's [[Trainer ID number|ID numbers]] and game language.

==Others involved==
* [[Celio]] operates a system in the [[Sevii Islands]] which initially was separate from all others. With the help of Bill, he was able to link his system to mainland Kanto, allowing travelers from the nearby region, such as the [[player]], to access their Pokémon. Eventually, with more help from the player, as well as the [[List_of_key_items_in_Generation_III#Ruby|Ruby]] and [[List_of_key_items_in_Generation_III#Sapphire|Sapphire]] to boost the power, Celio was able to connect to the far-off [[Hoenn]] region.
* [[Hayley]] owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|Pokémon ranch]] where she collects information and data from Pokémon. She is good friends with [[Bebe]] and they still keep in contact with each other.

==In the anime==
A system for transferring Pokémon electronically exists, and is utilized in all [[Pokémon Center]]s as well as the labs of all [[Pokémon professor]]s. However, unlike in the games, Pokémon are not stored electronically, and in this continuity, the developer of the system was [[Dr. Akihabara]]. [[EP038|On one occasion]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were able to invade this system in an attempt to steal Pokémon, but failed thanks to Ash and his friends.

It also seems that the [[Pokédex]] automatically connects to this system when a capture is made while there are 6 Pokémon in a user's [[party]], as [[EP013|seen]] when Ash captures his {{AP|Krabby}}.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Marina.png|thumb|Marina's Kyogre Costume]]
* [[Palace Maven Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it, and [[Sir Aaron]]'s gloves also have similar markings.
* Kyogre and its counterpart, {{p|Groudon}}, are the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Kyogre is shown flying in the [[Legends Awakened (TCG)|Diamond & Pearl: Legends Awakened]] commercial and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* Kyogre is the only non {{type2|Ice}} to naturally learn {{m|Sheer Cold}} by level-up.
* In Pokémon Battle Revolution, Marina has a costume based on Kyogre.
===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the {{wp|leviathan}}, the gigantic primeval master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the {{wp|behemoth}}. Kyogre's appearance draws inspiration from various {{wp|whales}}, but it closely resembles an ''{{wp|orca}}''.
====Name origin====
Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 ''kai'', ocean, and ''{{wp|orca}}'', a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ''ogre'', which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, ''Kyogre'' spells out 海王 ''kaiō'', which means ''King of the Sea''. It is also worth noting that 海王 are the first two characters in 海王星 ''Kaiōsei'', {{wp|Neptune (mythology)|Neptune}}.

Gym

2009-05-09T23:10:47Z

Ktsune:

A Pokémon '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') is a place where {{g|Trainer}}s go to train their [[Pokémon]]. Just like real life gymnasiums, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their {{pkmn|battling}} skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain [[experience]]. Often specializing in a particular [[Elemental types|elemental type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the [[Gym Leader]], whom the lower-ranking members of a Gym look up to greatly.

==Official Gyms==
Gyms that are certified by the {{g|League}} are vital to a Trainer's Pokémon journey. Leagues are designed so that conventional Trainers must travel far and wide before entering a [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|League Competition]], as the only way to enter one is by gaining at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s, and there can only be one official Gym per city.

===List of Gyms===
There are eight known official Gyms in each [[region]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Gary Oak]] reveals that he has more than eight Badges, hinting that there are more Gyms than {{player}}s are given access to in the {{pkmn|games}}. Specifically, he has at least ten badges excluding the {{Badge|Earth}}.

Before the [[Indigo League]] competition, Ash encounters [[Otoshi]] in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight badges, but only shares four in common with Ash. Later in the episode, another {{pkmn|Trainer}} appears with eight other completely different badges. In total, Ash, Gary, [[Otoshi]] and the other Trainer displayed 27 different types of badges prior to competing in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], so there must be at least this number of official gyms in Kanto. This is however impossible because there aren't 27 cities in Kanto listed in the games. The anime however shows many different cities and towns where badges could be obtained.

Whilst on her journey collecting badges, [[Sakura]] collected badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship, [[Morrison]] is shown to have an eighth badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least 9 official gyms in Hoenn. Many believe it could be a badge from {{Ci|Slateport}} or {{to|Pacifidlog}}.

During ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', in the Sinnoh saga, [[Barry]] was seen to have a badge that is not present in the games and most likely will not be possessed by Ash.

====Saffron City Dojo====
{{Main|Fighting Dojo}}
The Trainers of this gym specialize in {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon. It used to be the town's official Gym until [[Sabrina]] defeated its leader. After the player defeats the Dojo's leader, he will give the player either {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

====Pre Gym====
{{main|Pre Gym}}
This unofficial Gym of [[Phenac City]] doubles as an {{pkmn|academy}}. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], its leader, [[Justy]], will not battle the Trainer until they have at least six Pokémon, and will give away {{TM|27|Return}}.

====A.J.'s Gym====
This gym is run solely by the Trainer [[A.J.]], and is notable for its rigorous training methods. It is unknown what prize if any A.J. gave to any victorious challengers, because he left it to enter the [[Pokémon League]] after he defeated 100 challengers in a row using only his {{p|Sandshrew}}. This gym appears in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

====Kas Gym====
This gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is an {{p|Electabuzz}}. This gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''.

====Yas Gym====
This gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is a {{p|Scyther}}. This gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. Their Gym Leader is voiced by [[Ted Lewis]] in English.

====Coastline Gym====
This is an unofficial gym that was featured in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''. It is located on the outskirts of [[Blackthorn City]]. Lead by [[Dorian]], the gym specializes in {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Unlike the other Water-type gyms, Dorian holds his battles underwater.

Although the gym is unofficial, Dorian is hoping that by word of mouth it will become more popular. In fact, after {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} visited the Gym, they promised they would tell everyone at the [[Silver Conference]] about it. However, it hasn't been mentioned since then.

====Fighting Spirit Gym====
This gym was run by {{ka|Anthony}}, who was training his {{p|Hitmonchan}} for the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. It did not appear to be used for actual {{g|battle}}s. Instead, it had the appearance of a gym used for training and exercising.

==Technical schools==

==Trivia==
*For [[DP008]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gyms. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: かてるまで　なんどもちょうせん　ポケモンジム ''Kateru made nando mo chōsen, Pokémon Jimu'' "Until you win, battle again and again; that is a Pokémon Gym."
*In [[Generation I]], a [[glitch]] allowed Trainers to [[fishing|fish]] at the statues at the front of the gyms.
*No known Gym has specialized in {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Platinum]] is the only game where the gym order is changed from its predecessors, which are [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl| Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] in this case.

'''Porygon2''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴン２''' ''Porygon2'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon}} when [[trade]]d holding an [[Up-Grade]], and evolves into {{p|Porygon-Z}} when traded holding a [[Dubious Disc]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Porygon2 looks very similar to its pre-evolution, except that all of Porygon2's edges have been rounded out. The pattern on its chest has also been significantly rounded out, and it looks very similar to a {{wp|drinking bird}}.

====Gender differences====
Porygon2 is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Porygon2 has the same abilities as its pre-evolution, except that Porygon2 is capable of using {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of {{m|Sharpen}}.

Porygon2, and its evolution family, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}.

Porygon2 has the ability to work in space, due to it not having to breathe. However, it cannot go into space by itself because it cannot fly. This problem seems to have been solved in {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
===Behavior===

Porygon2 have artificial intelligence. However, they occasionally exhibit strange motions and abilities that were not programmed.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it has no need to eat.
==In the anime==
Porygon2 is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to never appear in the anime, as well as the only pre-[[Generation IV]] Pokémon to not appear in the anime or the movies, not even as a cameo. Popular opinion is that this is because of [[EP038|the incident]] involving {{p|Porygon|its pre-evolution}}. However, Porygon had several cameos.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Green}} bought a {{p|Porygon}} in [[Celadon City]]. In the GSC saga, it evolved into Porygon2.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Porygon2 (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Porygon2 will immediately use a powerful {{m|Tackle}} attack that sends opponents flying. The attack cannot be escaped due to the speed in which it happens but Porygon2 is harmless once the attack has finished.

====Trophy information====
Representing the next step in technological progress, this Virtual Pokémon is a higher-powered version of the man-made Pokémon, Porygon. Compared to the sharp edges of its relative, Porygon2's body is extremely smooth and rounded. In battle, it utilizes a special move called Conversion 2 to alter its type.

==Game data==

}}

==Trivia==
* This is the only Pokémon with a number in its name.
* Porygon2 is one of the two Pokémon that's both smaller ''and'' lighter than the Pokémon that it evolves from. The other is {{p|Bellossom}}.
* It is the only Pokémon that both evolves by trading ''and'' needs to be traded to evolve again.
* Porygon2 is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon-Z}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Mime Jr.}}
* In Generation II, it is possible for Porygon2 to have both effects of the move {{m|Curse}}. One is by simply using it to the non-{{type2|Ghost}} effect of Curse. The other is by using either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} to change its type to Ghost and have the Ghost effect of Curse. The other Pokémon that can do this are {{p|Porygon}} and {{p|Smeargle}}.
* Of all Pokémon able to evolve, Porygon2 has the highest base stat average.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, Porygon2's color has been made darker, like its [[Generation II]] sprites, making it look more like Porygon-Z. However, this was not done to Porygon.

===Origin===
Like Porygon, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. The head looks like a {{wp|duck}}. The change in form by evolution from Porygon to Porygon2 represents the concept of [[wp:Subdivision surface|subdivision]] in 3D computer graphics.
====Name origin====
Porygon2's name is a mix between ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''{{wp|origami}}''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The 2 on its name is because it is the second in its line of evolution, evolving from {{p|Porygon}}.

==In other languages==

'''Leer''' (Japanese: '''にらみつける''' ''Glare'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Leer decreases the target's {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage. Leer will do nothing if the target's Defense has reached a stage of -6 or a value of one, and will fail if the target has a {{m|Substitute}} or is under the effect of {{m|Mist}}. The effect of Leer is ignored by critical hits.

==In the anime==
===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Cubone}}'''. Cubone glares at the opponent and causes it to become worried.
* Used by [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. '''Debut.'''

'''Leer''' (Japanese: '''にらみつける''' ''Glare'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Leer decreases the target's {{stat|Defense}} stat by one stage. Leer will do nothing if the target's Defense has reached a stage of -6 or a value of one, and will fail if the target has a {{m|Substitute}} or is under the effect of {{m|Mist}}. The effect of Leer is ignored by critical hits.

==In the anime==
===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Cubone}}'''. Cubone glares at the opponent and causes it to become worried.
* Used by [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. '''Debut.'''

Generation III

2009-05-09T20:19:39Z

Ktsune: added that Gen III currently has the highest number of games named after jewels

'''Generation III''', also known as the '''Advance Generation''', is the third set of Pokémon games released. It consists of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} [[Version]]s on the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] on the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It appears to take place contemporaneously with [[Generation I]].

== Advances in gameplay ==
The third generation, while incompatible with [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, boasts the most changes in the world of Pokémon. Many new Pokémon are added with brand-new type combinations such as {{t|Fighting}}/{{t|Psychic}}. The advances include:
* An increase in the graphics display and general appearance.
* A new, streamlined Pokémon storage system with a graphical user interface.
* [[Pokémon Contests]] are introduced.
* [[Pokéblock]]s are introduced.
* 135 Pokémon added to the Pokémon world, bringing the total to 386.
* 103 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 354.
* New [[villainous teams]] involving one specific [[legendary Pokémon]] — {{p|Groudon}} in {{g|Ruby}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in {{g|Sapphire}}.
* Individual values (IVs) are increased from 0 through 15 to 0 through 31.
* [[Natures]], which determine a Pokémon's stat growth, and can be affected by an item attached to a Pokémon while breeding ({{game|Emerald}} only).
* New environments can be explored: [[underwater]], [[desert]]s, [[Mt. Chimney|volcanoes]], and [[Route 119|tropical jungles]].
* Wireless communication (only available in {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}).
* [[Nintendo e-Reader]] communication.
* [[Abilities]], which can affect Pokémon inside and outside of battle.
* Berries have greater use; can be used for [[Pokémon Contests]], regular battle, or in stat training ({{game|Emerald}}, specifically).
* [[Double battle]]s are available, along with a single Multi Battle ({{game|Emerald}} only).
* Areas where [[weather]] is set before the Pokémon battle starts.
* Code preventing certain event [[legendary|legendaries]] from being hacked, since, if they are hacked, they always disobey the trainer.

== Hoenn starters ==
Players begin their journey in [[Littleroot Town]] with a choice of {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}. The Grass-Fire-Water type triangle from previous generations remains, and the difficulty setting follows [[Generation I]] where {{type2|Grass}} or {{type2|Water}} Pokémon will serve to make the beginning gyms easier, whereas choosing the {{type2|Fire}} provides an extra challenge.

== Gym Leaders ==
Being that there are only 17 types, and [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], during Generation I and II, had Gyms specializing in 16 of them, all of the types of the Gym Leaders of Hoenn are the same as that of a Gym Leader in one of the previous regions.

== Other Generation III games ==
[[Pokémon Colosseum]], for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], features a new land called [[Orre]] where several [[Generation II]] and Generation III Pokémon are altered by two teams called [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]]. Players must "snag" the "[[Shadow Pokémon]]" and cure them of their darkness. Once this is completed, the Pokémon may be transferred to the other Generation III games. Pokémon Colosseum is the first 3D Pokémon RPG. This game also features an advanced [[Stadium Mode]] similar to those of the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]] games.

{{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are remakes of the original {{2v|Red|Green}}, and return to the world of [[Generation I]] for an updated telling of its story.

[[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] is another Generation III game, which allows for:

* Storage of up to 1500 Pokémon from Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald games.
* Playing Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on the television.

[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], also for the Nintendo GameCube, follows a storyline that takes place a few years after the story of Colosseum. It allows for snagging of rare Generation I, II and III Pokémon as well, and includes a difficult to purify final Shadow Pokémon, a Shadow {{p|Lugia}}.

Generation III is the biggest generation yet, with a whopping five handheld games and three console games, though it remains to be seen whether this will be matched or even surpassed during [[Generation IV]].

== Trivia ==
*It is the only generation not to have a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
*In the soundtrack for Hoenn's games, there are around five unused themes, one of these is a remixed {{rt|37}} theme from GSC. This may have been a music test, though it could have been an alternate theme for such routes as {{rt|116}}, but was left out during development.
*Currently, this generation has the highest number of main series games named after precious jewels, namely, the {{wp|ruby}}, {{wp|sapphire}}, and {{wp|emerald}}.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power, being a more powerful move than the similar {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint.

Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

===Generation II and on===
Explosion's base power was changed to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Lickilicky}} and {{p|Smeargle}} are the only Pokémon that can learn this attack and receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on it. This is not considering the possibility of {{m|Metronome}} selecting Explosion randomly.
* This attack can achieve 450 Base Power if powered up with {{p|Lickilicky}}'s STAB and a Silk Scarf.
*Although its depictions in console games and animations in handheld games frequently display fiery elements, Explosion is considered a Normal-type move.

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power, being a more powerful move than the similar {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint.

Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

===Generation II and on===
Explosion's base power was changed to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Lickilicky}} and {{p|Smeargle}} are the only Pokémon that can learn this attack and receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] on it. This is not considering the possibility of {{m|Metronome}} selecting Explosion randomly.
* This attack can achieve 450 Base Power if powered up with {{p|Lickilicky}}'s STAB and a Silk Scarf.
*Although its depictions in console games and animations in handheld games frequently display a fiery element, Explosion is considered a Normal-type move.

Anabel

'''Salon Maiden Anabel''' (Japanese: '''タワータイクーンリラ''' ''Tower Tycoon Lila'') is the [[Frontier Brain]] in charge of running the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}'s {{DL|Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Tower}}.

==In the anime==

[[Image:Anabel1.PNG|thumb|225px|left|Anabel in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Anabel appears in the episodes ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

Anabel has the empathic ability to sense the emotions of [[Pokémon]] and giving them telepathic commands, possessing powers similar to {{Special|Yellow}} of [[Pokémon Special]], although other characters do not seem to regard these as psychic abilities but rather a honed sense of empathy. Nevertheless, she is still portrayed as a sort of {{type2|Psychic}} specialist.

She failed to teach Ash and May her empathetic abilities, as their Pokémon receive nothing from them. Ash and his friends are surprised to learn that Anabel is a girl when the group arrived to her house and she declined to change her wet clothes in front of them; Ash asked if it's because of May's presence, but she said it was because she's female.

Ash lost his first match to Anabel after her powerful Alakazam managed to defeat two of his Pokémon consecutively, shadowing both Ash's Corphish and Tauros. In a rematch, Ash beat her by using the same strategy as in the previous battle. During their farewell, Anabel was shown to have a {{s|AbilityShipping|crush}} on Ash.

==In the games==

[[Image:SpriteAnabel.png|thumb|right|Sprite Image of Anabel from {{game|Emerald}}.]]

Anabel's heard rumors of {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s rankings in the Battle Tower, but isn't impressed. She wants to see their talent in battle for herself. When defeated, she awards the Ability Symbol onto the Frontier Pass.

On the second match, Anabel commends Brendan/May's progress, and is grateful for the chance to battle without holding anything back; to battle to her fullest.

In the games and manga she is considered the leader of the Frontier Brains. In the anime this role is given to Brandon instead.

She is one of the two known [[Tower Tycoon]]s, the other one being [[Palmer]] of the Battle Tower in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

===Quotes===
* First battle:
''"Greetings… My name is Anabel. I am the Salon Maiden, and I am in charge of running the Battle Tower… I have heard several rumors about you… I all honesty, what I have heard does not seem attractive in any way… The reason I’ve come to see you… Well, there is but one reason… Let me see your talent in its entirety…"''

''"Okay, I understand…"''

''"Fufufu, nicely done… Your Frontier Pass, please… Your talent shall be recognized."''

''"… … … … … … You have confidence in your Pokémon battling talent, don’t you? I urge you to keep battling and keep on winning. I will be waiting for you. Until the next time we meet…"''

* Second battle:
''"You really did come back to see me… … … … … … … You’ve won straight matches to see me… I won’t have to hold back against you… It’s been too long now… Too long since I’ve been able to battle without thinking about anything… Let’s begin, shall we?"''

''"Thank you…"''

''"Fufu, congratulations… Your Frontier Pass, please… That was fun… I have never had a Pokémon battle so enjoyable before… I wish I could battle with you again…"''

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Almost nothing is known except that Anabel has a {{p|Raikou}} and she is the most powerful [[Frontier Brain]]. Anabel is also aware of the [[Pokédex]] and keeps the central villain busy while {{Special|Emerald}} attempts to capture {{p|Jirachi}}.

===In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga===
[[Image:LilaCBF.JPG|right|100px|thumb|Anabel as a Photographer]]Anabel first appears in [[CBF4|chapter 4]], disguised as a photographer. She tells {{ma|Enta}} about the Frontier Brains after [[Rald]] is defeated by her, prompting him to challenge them in order to discover which one defeated Rald. After Enta defeats his sixth Frontier Brain, Lucy, he is told that the seventh one is none other than Anabel herself, much to his surprise. Enta's battle with Anabel ends up in a draw after a showdown between Ninetales and Entei.

==Trivia==
* Right after {{game|Emerald}} was released, there was some debate regarding Anabel's gender. However, after the publishing of her Sugimori artwork and her {{pkmn|anime}} and [[Pokémon Special|manga]] appearances, there was no doubt that she was female. The initial confusion was only increased because she uses the typically masculine personal pronoun ボク ''boku''.
* It is possible that her design is based off of the female [[Psychic (trainer class)|Psychic]]. This theory is further supported by the fact that Anabel uses all {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon in the anime.
*Anabel is the only [[Frontier Brain]] whose title (in some languages) does not incorporate the second word of his or her facility's name. However, the Battle Salon is an actual room in the Battle Tower (Emerald version) where Trainers can meet each other and team up to participate in Multi Battles.
* Her clothing style varies the between anime, sprites, and artwork.
* Her {{p|Espeon}} knows {{m|Zap Cannon}}, a move it can't learn in games past [[Generation II]].

Trio master

2009-03-31T07:05:27Z

Ktsune: added link to Dragon trio page in the description, since all other descriptions include links to respective trios

A Pokémon that is a '''trio master''' is one who, in some way, oversees a [[legendary trio]] of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, {{p|Lugia}} is the trio master of the [[legendary birds]]; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when [[Lawrence III]] captures one of them in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, the trio master sometimes will and sometimes will not require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand. In {{g|Crystal}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} cannot be captured until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been, and in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, {{p|Regigigas}} will not awaken unless the {{player}} has the [[legendary golems]] in his or her party. {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Arceus}}, however, do not seem to have this requirement, nor does Ho-Oh in {{g|Gold and Silver}} and {{p|Rayquaza}} in the [[Generation III]] games. However, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, the [[legendary birds]] must all be befriended before the player can enter [[Silver Trench|Lugia's dungeon]], and before encountering Ho-oh, the three [[legendary beasts]] must contribute their power to create the [[Rainbow Wing]]. In order to get {{p|Ho-Oh}} in {{g|Colosseum}}, the player must first capture and purify all the Shadow Pokémon, which includes the legendary beasts, as one of the two requirements.

Pokémon of myth

2009-03-31T06:18:51Z

Ktsune: Included interesting trivia about the dragons' number of legs. Additionally credited to the user Kaoz for indicating this on Talk Page.

[[Image:Dragontrio.PNG|thumb|right|250px|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina at Spear Pillar (art by [[Ken Sugimori]])]]
The '''dragon trio''' is a term used to refer to three powerful legendary Pokémon of the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their secondary type, as well as a [[base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}}, divided among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, in different orders.

Dialga controls time and Palkia controls space, two aspects of the [[wp:spacetime|four-dimensional universe]] that the [[Pokémon world]], like our own, is a part of. The final member, Giratina, apparently has control over other dimensions like the [[Distortion World]], which may itself be a location with a fourth spacial dimension.

The three members of this trio share the ability {{a|Pressure}}, however Giratina's [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] has {{a|Levitate}}. Likewise, the three are the [[version mascot]]s of the three [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games, and have similar level-up learnsets.

==Trivia==
*Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all have footprints that look like crowns. Dialga's looks like a king's crown, Palkia's looks like a queen's, and Giratina's is smaller than that, possibly a prince's.
*Of the three, Palkia is the only member of its trio to share its type with {{p2|Kingdra|another Pokémon}}.
*Giratina (in {{v2|Platinum}}), has its own unique battle music, is able to change forms (between [[Form differences#Giratina|Altered Forme and Origin Forme]]), and has two different menu sprites. Also, Giratina is the only member whose {{game3|Platinum|box art}} differs from its original sprite in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*This trio is the only one whose members are not all in a direct National Dex sequence: {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}} divide Dialga and Palkia from Giratina.
*No two members of the trio have the same number of legs. Even when one considers Giratina Origin Forme this remains true, as Giratina Origin Forme has no legs, Palkia has two, Dialga has four, and Giratina Altered Forme has six.
**Furthermore, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina are also the only group of version mascots within the same generation that exhibit such an occurrence.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Ponyta}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rapidash is a horse-like Pokémon. It has a horn, reminiscent of a {{wp|unicorn}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It runs at 150 miles per hour, {{a2|Flash Fire|on fire}}, chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it.

===Behavior===
Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It lives on mountains along with other {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fire}} Pokémon, so it is quite possibly alone - not with a relation, such as a Rapidash friend or mate. They are the highest evolved form of Ponyta and are highly capable in battle.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It mostly grazes on grass, but it can sometimes be found with the [[Shuca Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Rapidash.jpg|175px|Rapidash in the anime|thumb|right]]
{{Ash}} used a Ponyta belonging to [[Lara Laramie]] in the Pokémon Marathon in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon]]''. The Ponyta evolved into Rapidash near the end of the race, winning it.

Rapidash was also one of the Pokémon cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

[[Stella]] had a Rapidash in her circus in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''.

[[Jon Dickson]] used a Rapidash in the final match of the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Blaine]] is seen with a Rapidash as his steed in [[Pokémon Special]]. He rides Rapidash into {{p|Mewtwo}}'s {{m|Psywave}} in an attempt to finish the Genetic Pokémon off. To protect {{Special|Red}}, Blaine's Rapidash creates a fireball wall around the {{pkmn|Trainer}} to shield him from the impending blast.
It also appeared in the Emerald Saga when {{Special|Crystal}} lend the Rapidash she had to {{Special|Emerald}}.
In the DPPt Saga, {{Special|Platina}}'s Ponyta evolved in her Gym battle against [[Byron]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*The original English name for Rapidash was going to be its Japanese name, "Gallop" but was later changed.
*Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club President]]. When the player first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length. The picture in Pokémon Yellow shows this Rapidash with a gold-blue color. However, this could be due to the color scheme of the game.
*In the [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|first movie]], there is a split second where Rapidash has no flames. [[Image:Flamelessrapidash.PNG|right|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]
*It is one of the few Pokémon in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} to have the same [[field move]] in both games.

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it doesn't seem to have anything else in common with unicorns, being more like a regular {{wp|horse}}. It would also seem that Rapidash, along with its {{p2|Ponyta|previous evolution}}, are based on Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon, the "fiery steeds" that carried the Greek God Helios's Chariot of the Sun around the world each day.
====Name origin====
Rapidash's name could be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'', referring to the high speed at which it runs or possibly ''rapid'' and ''ash'', referring to the fact that Rapidash has fire on its body. It can also be ''rapido'', Spanish for fast. Its Japanese name is simply the word ''gallop'', which is the form of running of hooved animals.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Gallopa
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Galopa - From ''galop'' or ''galopade'' (gallop).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 날쌩마 ''Nalssaengma''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 烈焰馬 - Literally "roaring flame horse (or horse of roaring flames)".

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

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, it can change form.

Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[Image:GiratinaOriginForme.png|thumb|Official [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] art of Giratina's Origin Form.|180px|left]]

As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Another Form) is the form that appeared in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. In this form, Giratina is has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short 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. 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 it can change shape like it's made of a liquid. Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, making many have a theory that it is related to the two, which has been confirmed as true in Pokémon Platinum. Giratina's {{shiny2}} form is nearly opposite in color compared to the original. The colors of the shiny Origin Form is the same as the Another Form's except for the wings which appear to be a dark shade of brown.

The second is a new Origin Form which made its debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''; it uses this form when traveling through different dimensions. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Another Form. The Origin Form of Giratina has six black streamers on its back that each have a 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. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}.
 

====Gender differences====
Giratina is genderless.

====Special abilities====
As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, 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 Form by equipping the Platinum Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Another Form. The Origin Form has higher offensive stats while the Another Form has higher defenses.

Giratina is able to control dimensions besides those of time and space.

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

===Behavior===
Judging by it's Pokédex entry, it's safe to assume Giratina is a very violent Pokémon that is very protective of its home.

===Habitat===
Giratina is a very rare (one-of-a-kind) Pokémon due to its "legendary" status. Legends claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that this Pokémon supposedly lives in the spirit world, on the reverse side of this one.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giratina Movie11.JPG|thumb|left|210px|Giratina's "Another Form" in a preview for [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]].]]
{{an|Giratina}} made its anime debut in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. In the movie, Giratina lures {{p|Dialga}} into the Reverse World in order extract revenge against the Temporal Pokémon causing damage to the Reverse World. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World.

It will make another appearance in the [[Pikachu Project 2009|twelfth movie]] alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}.

* Giratina is the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its own types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
* Giratina is one of very few non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Fly}}. The others are: {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}} (all four of which have the [[ability]] {{a|Levitate}}), {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (all three of which can learn all [[HM]] moves)
*It is one of eight Pokémon which can change into forms specific to itself, the other seven being {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Cherrim}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Rotom}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Like Deoxys's other forms were not available in the original two versions of its generation, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, but later became available in the rest of [[Generation III|its generation]], Giratina's Origin Form is only available in {{game|Platinum}}.
*The Another Form is shorter and heavier than the Origin Form.
*In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Giratina is met at level 70, while in {{v2|Platinum}}, Giratina is met at level 47, the same as {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.
*Giratina, as of Platinum, is the only Pokémon to come out from above instead of from the left of the screen during the start of the battle.
*When Giratina is battled in Platinum, it does not have a shadow at first. When it escapes a [[Poké Ball]] though, it "gains" one.
*The first released sprite of its Origin Form was not used in Platinum.
*Giratina, {{p|Deoxys}} and {{p|Arceus}} are the only Pokémon that have battle music specific to them and unused by any other Pokémon. Giratina, however, uses the same theme as {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and the non-legendary {{p|Rotom}} in Diamond and Pearl.
*Giratina is the only one of the [[dragon trio]] that has a catch rate of 3.
*Giratina is the last Ghost-Type Pokémon in the National Pokédex.

==Origin==
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Another Form, the wings may be based off a bat's, it's body has the insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a sauropod. It's origin form has a body similar to a serpentine, it's six protrusions on it's body may be based off of a scorpion's stinger.

===Name origin===
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol], {{wp|giraffe}} or girare (meaning to wander).

Ktsune: Added trivia about Giratina

[[Image:Dragontrio.PNG|thumb|right|250px|Dialga, Palkia and Giratina on the Spear Pillar]]
'''Dragon trio''' is a term used to refer to three legendary Pokémon of the [[Sinnoh]] region. This trio is composed of three [[Pokémon]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

All of the mentioned Pokémon have similarities with the other members, much like other members of legendary trios. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their secondary type, as well as a [[base stat]] total of 680, distributed among the stats as 150-120-120-100-100-90, though in different orders. Many of the moves each learns by leveling up also correspond roughly to those learned by the others, while all three are the [[version mascot]]s of the [[Generation IV]] [[Sinnoh]]-based games. Like others, they share an [[ability]] among them: {{a|Pressure}}, though Giratina's [[Form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] has {{a|Levitate}}.

Dialga controls time, while Palkia controls space, whereas Giratina on the other hand seems to have the ability to control other dimensions. The presence of Dialga and Palkia causes a rip in dimensions, creating a gateway to the dimension where Giratina inhabits.

== Trivia ==
*Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all have footprints that look like crowns. Dialga's looks like a king's crown, Palkia's looks like a queen's, and Giratina's is smaller than that, possibly a prince's.
*Of the three, Palkia is the only member of its trio to share its type with [[Kingdra (Pokémon)|another Pokémon]].
*Giratina is the only member of the trio that, in [[Platinum]], is not found in Sinnoh (residing in the [[Ruined World]] instead of the [[Spear Pillar]]), has its own unique battle music, is able to change forms (between [[Another Forme]] and [[Origin Forme]]), and has two different overworld sprites. Also, Giratina is the only member whose [[Platinum|box art]] differs from its original sprite in [[Diamond and Pearl]].

Stat

2008-11-11T19:24:54Z

Ktsune: Edited article to show which Pokemon have the highest amount of each respective stat, among all Pokemon and among all non-Legendary Pokemon.

:'''''HP''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}.''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====Hit Points====
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[faint]]ing. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently {{P|Blissey}} holds the honor of having the highest HP among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} Attack-Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-Legendary Pokémon.

====Defense====
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{P|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense among all the Pokémon in the game.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[IV]]s and [[EV]]s in [[Generation III]].
=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is Attack Forme, currently holds the honor of having the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon. {{p|Porygon-Z}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are currently tied with having the highest Special Attack stat of all non-Legendary Pokémon.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the honor of having the highest Special Defense among all the Pokémon.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}} Speed-Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all the Pokémon. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-Legendary Pokémon.

===In-battle Stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines how much percent chance an opponent's move will have of missing. Initial value at the start of any battle is 0%.
====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines how much percent chance an attacker's move will have of hitting. Initial value at the start of any battle is 100%.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and Nature, a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 10 more than the Pokémon's level plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 combined individual value and effort value. This means that there is no possible way, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats.

===Formula===
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

'''HP Stat''' = <big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 10 + Level

'''Other Stats''' = <big><big>[</big></big><big>'''('''</big>'''('''IV + 2 * Base + (EV/4)''')''' * Level/100<big>''')'''</big> + 5<big><big>]</big></big> * Nature

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[items]] are made that will also do this.

In-battle stat modifers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase would have eight times its normal attack.

During a {{m|Sandstorm}}, all {{t|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below except the [[vitamin]]s will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in. [[Vitamin]]s increase the corresponding stats permanently.

'''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 evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Dialga is the version mascot of [[Pokémon]] {{v|Diamond}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is dinosaur-like, similar to {{p|Palkia}}, though it seems to be based off of a sauropod. 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 spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.
====Gender differences====
Dialga is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Dialga has the ability to warp time.

Similar to most other {{type2|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 {{Type2|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be magnified by the [[Adamant Orb]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Roar of Time}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] in Japan,as well as the Toys "R" Us and [[Nintendo]] World Store Darkrai, and {{p|Smeargle}} which can {{m|Sketch}} the move).

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dialga Statue.jpg|thumb|left|Dialga in the DP opening]][[Image:Dialga Movie10.JPG|right|thumb|230px|{{an|Dialga}} alongside {{an|Palkia}} in [[The Rise of Darkrai]].]]
{{an|Dialga}} appears in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] along with {{an|Palkia}}. It fights with {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, nearly destroying [[Alamos Town]].

This Dialga made another appearence in the [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|eleventh movie]]. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{an|Giratina}}, who is mad that the battle that Dialga had with Palkia damaged its world.

Dialga's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''

Dialga also makes a cameo in the [[Together|Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song.]]

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon DP (Shigekatsu Ihara)|Pokémon DP]], [[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.

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

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on Spear Pillar]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[Lake trio]] on the stage [[Spear Pillar]]. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of 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.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: 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 Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower.

==Trivia==
* Dialga's US name, although many had already guessed it, was officially revealed on January 20th 2006, along with Palkia's name.
* Dialga has an astounding eleven resistances and one immunity, making it one of the most resistant Pokémon, second only to {{p|Magnemite}} and its two evolutions, although the aforementioned has more weaknesses as well. It is also tied in resistances and immunity with {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon to have the ability to manipulate time, the first being {{p|Celebi}}.
* Dialga is the seventh tallest Pokémon and the tallest Generation IV Pokémon.
* Dialga is the only Pokémon with its [[type]] combination.
* Dialga is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that isn't weak to Dragon-type moves as of [[Generation IV]], due to the {{type2|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Despite being genderless in the main series games, Dialga is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* 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}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} with catch rates of 45.
* Diamond in several languages starts with "D", like Dialga.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]].
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an [[alternate coloration]] that is not its shiny coloration, the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
*Dialga's Steel typing may reference the fact that diamond is the hardest mineral on earth.
* 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.

===Origin===
Dialga is based after a {{wp|dinosaur}} with a {{wp|diamond}}. The dinosaur it is possibly based on is the largest dinosaur, known as {{wp|Amphicoelias}}. It was the longest, tallest, and biggest dinosaur in the world, hence the size of Dialga. The facial pattern could be based off of the makeup used by {{wp|King Diamond}}.

====Name origin====
The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock. However, the Greek root "''dia''" can be translated to the word ''through'', and one can refer to Dialga as going "through" time.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IV]] that is the [[trio master|master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]].

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within [[Snowpoint Temple]], where it sleeps. It still appears on the map if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regigigas shares several traits with the [[Regis]]. For instance, it has seven dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. It is weak to Fighting type (like Vaccum Wave). It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has a golem-like shape and long arms with short legs. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time.
====Gender differences====
Regigigas is genderless.
====Special abilities====
Regigigas has the ability {{A|Slow Start}}, an ability that causes Regigigas's Attack and Speed to be halved the first few turns. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, the legends say that, its extremely high attack stat, combined with its colossal strength, enables it to move continents.

Regigigias is the [[Signature move|one of only two Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Crush Grip}} (The other being a certain Combusken from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
It resides in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], having done so for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. According to the [[braille]] in [[Generation III]] games, it was sealed away in order to protect people, and three keys (the [[Legendary Golems]]) were created so that only one with the power of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} would be able to catch it.

==Trivia==
*Due to {{a2|Slow Start|its ability}} reducing its potential, Regigigas has less in common with other [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] than it does with {{p|Slaking}}. They share the same base stat total of 670, along with [[ability|abilities]] that limit their power.
*Although it is thought to be unique, it is possible to see and fight another, under the ownership of [[Palmer]] along with a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}} in the 49th consecutive battle in the Battle Tower.
*All four of the Regi's types ({{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Normal}}) are four of the five types that {{t|Fighting}} is strong against (only {{t|Dark}} is missing).
*It is the only Pokémon who can learn TMs that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
*While the moss growing on Regigigas is thought to have been caused by the fact that it had slumbered for a long time, it was imprisoned in [[Snowpoint Temple]], a place filled with ice and not a very suitable place for moss to grow in.
*Regigigas is the only one of the [[Regis]] not to have its type in its name. {{p|Regirock}} is a {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Regice}} is an {{type2|Ice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} is {{type2|Steel}}.
*Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. It has the third highest attack of all Pokémon, after {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack Forme and {{p|Rampardos}}.
*Despite being called a colossal Pokémon, Regigigas is only the 14th tallest Pokémon and only the 7th heaviest.
*Regigigas has 7 starting moves.
*[[Groudon]] and Regigigas might have a connection. It states in Regigigas's Pokédex entry that it once pulled the continents with rope, while Groudon is known as the Continent Pokémon. Also, both Pokémon are strongly connected to the land.
*[[Lugia]] and [[Ho-Oh]] might also have a connection to Regigigas. As Lugia and Ho-Oh are the guardians of the seas and skies, respectively, Regigigas could be the guardian of the lands, since it is known for pulling the continents together, and 'seas' and 'skies' are not really 'opposites' of each other. This proposed 'lands, seas, skies' trio could then mirror the [[weather trio]], whose members embody the same attributes. Furthermore, notable colors on each (Ho-Oh and red, Lugia and blue, Regigigas and yellow) make up the traditional primary colors of painting. If Regigigas's green replaces the yellow, the colors of primary light are depicted; if Regigigas's white replaces the yellow, it act as a neutral addition to red and blue. In addition, they are the only three legendary Pokémon that control a normal trio besides [[Arceus]]. Also, two of the three Pokémon in this proposed 'trio' control normal trios of another region (Regigigas and the other Legendary Golems; Lugia and the Legendary Birds).

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
====Name origin====
The first part of its name is ''Regi'', ''kings'' or ''to rule, govern or control'', or possibly ''regius'', ''royal''. The last part of its name, ''gigas'', means ''Giant''. This means it is the King of the [[Legendary Golems|Giants]].

Super-ancient Pokémon

2008-09-05T00:35:32Z

Ktsune:

[[Image:GenIII Battle.jpg|thumb|right|Groudon and Kyogre battle as Rayquaza arrives.]]
The '''weather trio''' is, for lack of a better defining characteristic of the three, the name of the [[legendary trio]] made up of {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. They are officially referred to as the '''Super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''超古代ポケモン''' ''Chōkodai Pokémon''), although the Japanese anime has applied this term to [[Fossil]] Pokémon as well.

Although several non-legendary Pokémon, notably {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, have [[abilities]] that can alter the [[weather conditions]], and the {{p|Golduck}} family is capable of having an ability that can stop them altogether, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's abilities were the first sight of these {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing ones}} in the games. This makes them the only legendary trio to not share one universal ability.

Unlike Pokémon with moves like {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}}, where the weather changes to another for only five turns, the abilities of the legendary trio cause their weather effect for the remainder of the battle, or until the weather is changed again in some way. Rayquaza's, however, only lasts as long as it remains active, and removes the battle effects of any weather on the field, leaving it to just be a pretty-looking environmental effect.

They do not appear to have a [[trio master|master]], though Rayquaza seems to serve as the leader of the three internally, doing the same in [[Pokémon Emerald]] that {{p|Lugia}} does in [[The Power of One]].

Strangely, this is the only legendary trio whose members do not all have the same [[base stat]] total; Groudon and Kyogre share a total of 670, while Rayquaza's is 680.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza has the [[ability]] {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all effects of [[weather conditions]] on the field when it is in battle.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza a is large, green serpentine creature with rudder-like wings. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has arms with three-fingered hands. Rayquaza has long, flat "horns" on its head and two smaller horns below them. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

====Gender differences====
Rayquaza is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Rayquaza is capable of using various elemental attacks. It is also unable to be affected by weather conditions. Since Rayquaza is a "true" {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Rayquaza lives way up in the {{wp|ozone layer}}. However, in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Rayquaza resides in a lake where Fox crash lands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza eats water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[Image:RayquazaAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Rayquaza in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'']]{{an|Rayquaza}} appears in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against [[Deoxys (Destiny Deoxys)|Deoxys]] because it is seen as invading its territory. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It also has a cameo in the opening to the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius.

==In the manga==
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, Wally and Norman trained at the Sky Tower and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, Ruby's victory over a Salamence was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leaders test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

===NPC appearances===
[[Image:Brawl Boss Rayquaza.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza fights Fox and Diddy Kong.]]
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]: Rayquaza is shown to be in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
*Rayquaza is the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is one of the very few Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level-up in the same Generation it's [[HM]], and the only legendary Pokémon to do so.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, more than any other Pokémon that is not {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}. It can't learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}.
*It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
*On Rayquaza's back sprite in the Generation III games, there is confusion with one of its frills/spikes (the one that would be bottom-right in the back view). It could be said to either be actually overlapping with Rayquaza's lower jaw, or an accidental omission, leaving only two frills visible. The frill/spike in question is clearly distinguishable in the Generation IV back sprite. In both Generation III and IV, the bottom-left frill/spike is hidden from the back view by Rayquaza's neck.
*In some depictions, such as in the Generation III GBA games and in one of the sprites for [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the inside of Rayquaza's mouth has a bluish hue. In other depictions, like the Pokemon anime, [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]], however, the mouth has a reddish hue inside, and includes the tongue. The official Ken Sugimori artwork shows the inside of Rayquaza's mouth with a reddish hue.
===Origin===
It is based on {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, or ''lóng''. In terms of relevance to other Pokémon, Rayquaza has similarities to {{wp|Ziz}}, the Hebrew lord of the sky, when compared to Groudon's {{wp|behemoth}} origins and Kyogre's {{wp|leviathan}} origins.
====Name origin====
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 惨 ''zan'', disaster.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza has the [[ability]] {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all effects of [[weather conditions]] on the field when it is in battle.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza a is large, green serpentine creature with rudder-like wings. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has arms with three-fingered hands. Rayquaza has long, flat "horns" on its head and two smaller horns below them. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

====Gender differences====
Rayquaza is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Rayquaza is capable of using various elemental attacks. It is also unable to be affected by weather conditions. Since Rayquaza is a "true" {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Rayquaza lives way up in the {{wp|ozone layer}}. However, in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Rayquaza resides in a lake where Fox crash lands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza eats water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[Image:RayquazaAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Rayquaza in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'']]{{an|Rayquaza}} appears in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against [[Deoxys (Destiny Deoxys)|Deoxys]] because it is seen as invading its territory. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It also has a cameo in the opening to the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius.

==In the manga==
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, Wally and Norman trained at the Sky Tower and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, Ruby's victory over a Salamence was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leaders test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Image:Brawl Boss Rayquaza.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza fights Fox and Diddy Kong.]]
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]: Rayquaza is shown to be in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
*Rayquaza is the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is one of the very few Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level-up in the same Generation it's [[HM]], and the only legendary Pokémon to do so.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, more than any other Pokémon that is not {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}. It can't learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}.
*It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
*On Rayquaza's back sprite in the Generation III games, there is confusion with one of its frills/spikes (the one that would be bottom-right in the back view). It could be said to either be actually overlapping with Rayquaza's lower jaw, or an accidental omission, leaving only two frills visible. The frill/spike in question is clearly distinguishable in the Generation IV back sprite. In both Generation III and IV, the bottom-left frill/spike is hidden from the back view by Rayquaza's neck.
===Origin===
It is based on {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, or ''lóng''. In terms of relevance to other Pokémon, Rayquaza has similarities to {{wp|Ziz}}, the Hebrew lord of the sky, when compared to Groudon's {{wp|behemoth}} origins and Kyogre's {{wp|leviathan}} origins.
====Name origin====
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 惨 ''zan'', disaster.

'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Koffing is a round, purple [[Pokémon]] filled to the brim with toxic gases. Several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body give it the resemblance of a naval mine. Koffing has a skull and cross-bones below its blissful face. Koffing has been considered to be related to {{p|Grimer}}, who is also a purple {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants. Koffing may also be related to {{p|Drifloon}}, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets agitated. Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body. Koffing is also capable of launching {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.

===Behavior===

==Other apperances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Koffing will initiate a {{m|Poison Gas}} attack which will pummel an opponent. Koffing did not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] and was replaced by its evolution, {{p|Weezing}}.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=poison
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to {{m2|Explosion|exploding}} without warning.
|yellowdex=In hot places, its internal gases could expand and {{m2|Explosion|explode}} without any warning. Be very careful!
|stadiumdex=A [[Pokémon]] that is like a thin-skinned balloon filled with a highly toxic gas. Known to occasionally explode.
|golddex=Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.
|silverdex=The {{m2|Poison Gas|poisonous gases}} it contains are a little bit lighter than air, keeping it slightly airborne.
|crystaldex=If one gets close enough to it when it expels {{m2|Poison Gas|poisonous gas}}, the gas swirling inside it can be seen.
|stadium2dex=Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.
|rubydex=If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. This [[Pokémon]] may overinflate its round body, then {{m2|Explosion|explode}}.
|sapphiredex=Koffing embodies {{m|toxic}} substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful {{m|Poison Gas}}. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this Pokémon.
|emeralddex=Getting up close to a Koffing will give you a chance to observe, through its thin skin, the toxic gases swirling inside. It blows up at the slightest stimulation.
|firereddex=Its thin, balloon-like body is inflated by horribly toxic gases. It reeks when it is nearby.
|leafgreendex=Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, it is prone to {{m2|Explosion|exploding}} without warning.
|diamonddex=Lighter-than-air gases in its body keep it aloft. The gases not only smell, they are also explosive.
|pearldex=Lighter-than-air gases in its body keep it aloft. The gases not only smell, they are also explosive.

==Trivia==
*Koffing is the mascot of [[Smogon]], [[Dogasu's Backpack]], and [[Pokemopolis]].
*Koffing and Weezing are the the only pure Poison-type Pokémon immune to Ground-type attacks, due to their in-game ability, Levitate.
*Koffing's original English name was going to be "Ny", the initials of New York.
*Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being ''above'' its face in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' its face as portrayed in the original versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} and later games. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of {{p|Raikou}}'s sprite in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}).
*According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participate in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly or just a general inconsistency between the TCG and anime (Most likely the former, since Jessie and James got the lowest scores on the test).
===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}}.
====Name origin====
Koffing's name is a corruption of the word ''coughing''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 獰 ''dō'', meaning bad, or 毒 ''doku'', meaning poisonous, and ''{{wp|gas}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Smogon - Based on the English word ''[[wp:smog|smog]]''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Smogo - Based on the English word ''[[wp:smog|smog]]''.

Blaziken (Pokémon)

2008-06-17T12:58:58Z

Ktsune: Blaziken is actually unable to learn SolarBeam in Generation III, however it is able to in Generation IV. (One can see what I mean by trying to teach it this TM in R/S/E/FR/LG. It won't work.)

'''Blaziken''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バシャーモ''' ''Bursyamo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon. It is the final form of {{p|Torchic}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Blaziken appears as if it's wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. It has a crest on its head with two points, which resembles a letter "V". It also has long hair behind its head and a small face almost completely covered in feathers. Its strong, muscular legs help it jump up a skyscraper with one kick and with ease. Lastly, it has three fingers on each hand, with what appears to be wristband-like markings on its wrists. These ignite when Blaziken is threatened.

====Gender differences====
A female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's "mask" will also be smaller.

====Special abilities====
It can leap over a {{wp|skyscraper}} with a single jump. It can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, cloaking its feet or fists.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Blaziken-anime.jpg|thumb|Blaziken in the anime]]
{{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}} was first seen in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]''. Harrison used it to defeat the {{p|Sneasel}} that was blocking access to the flame of {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Harrison later used Blaziken in a climatic battle with [[Ash's Charizard]].

Blaziken was also seen in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of [[Rafe]].

In ''[[AG190|Once More with Reeling]]'', {{an|May}}'s Combusken evolved into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}. She brought it with her to [[Johto]], and it was one of the Pokémon she used when she returned in [[DP076]].

==Trivia==
*On a weight basis, Blaziken is the lightest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]] weighing 114.6 pounds (52.0 kilograms)
*Blaziken is one of the first [[Generation III]] Pokémon to appear in the anime (the first being {{p|Kecleon}}, and the second one being {{p|Wynaut}}), and one of the very few Generation III Pokémon to appear before the first episode of [[Advanced Generation series|Advance Generation]]. It is also the only [[starter Pokémon]] to appear in the anime before its generation saga began.
*Some consider Blaziken's average Speed stat to tone it down to a degree perceived as being a weaker version of {{p|Infernape}}. However, Blaziken does have higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats than {{p|Infernape}}.
*Blaziken resembles Brooklyn from the [[wp:Gargoyles (TV series)|Gargoyles]] TV series and comics.
===Origin===
Blaziken is probably based on a {{wp|cockfighting}} chicken. It also bears resemblance to {{wp|Horus}}, an Ancient Egyptian Deity with a hawk's head.
====Name origin====
Blaziken's name is a combination of ''blaze'' and ''{{wp|chicken}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of ''burst'' or ''burn'' and 軍鶏 ''{{wp|Shamo (chicken)|shamo}}'', a breed of Japanese chicken once raised for fighting.
