== Updating the HeldItems template to support Legends Arceus ==
Any chance that the HeldItems template could be updated to support Legends Arceus? I am willing to at least make a dent in adding the info to the pages that need adding, but I cannot do that if the template doesn't support it. From the look of things, it seems like it'd be a pretty easy thing to do with a copy/paste and changing text where needed. I'm not a template expert though. -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 00:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
: Thank you for drawing attention to this. I've added Legends: Arceus and (for when the time comes) Scarlet & Violet to the {{template|HeldItems}} template. I hope this helps! - [[User:Rustle|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:Rustle|talk]]) 21:36, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
:: Thank you, it does! I'm wondering how we want to handle the more robust dropped item system in this game. Almost every pokemon has multiple items it can drop, and both can drop at the same time. In addition, each pokemon has different drops if its an alpha, it can drop grit if it's defeated in battle, and it can drop aguav berries if caught/defeated from a berry outbreak in a massive mass outbreak. I don't know if the current template is built to handle this complexity. Could we possibly add a new template with sections for regular drops and alpha drops. Should we bother listing the grit/aguav berry drops, considering they're independent from the species itself? -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 09:12, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
::: Isn't that what is, at least partially, handled by [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_food_preferences this page]?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 10:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
:::: That doesn't show odds or alpha drops. -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 18:03, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
::::: We're going to look into this further. The template is frankly a mess right now, so may require a rebuild, so we're going to look into how to intergrate the dropped items from Legends: Arceus, or whether they'd be better off with their own solution. - [[User:Rustle|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:Rustle|talk]]) 20:30, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
::::::Thank you! Once the time comes, lemme know! I have all the drop rate info (not sourced from any other fan site), so I can do the grunt work of actually getting stuff onto pages once it comes. Just for my input, I also wonder if the technical difference between "held" and "dropped" items may warrant Arceus info having its own solution? -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 06:39, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

== Question regarding game information not obtainable in normal gameplay ==

I recently added a couple of bits of trivia regarding Z-moves (that no NPC can use an Exclusive Z-Move, and that if they try, the game will crash, although this is not observable in normal gameplay as one needs to use a hacking device to make that happen) to the Z-move page. Another editor removed the latter bit, remarking that it was removed because it involved hacking.

I had looked around for rules regarding trivia about the games and their structure that could not be observed without using hacking devices or glitches, and could not find any, so I assumed that such was ok - is there a page in the manual of style that I missed, or is this an part of an unspoken guideline I should be aware of (like, I'm not complaining if it is, I just don't want to step on any toes)?

[[User:ABZB|ABZB]] ([[User talk:ABZB|talk]]) 18:24, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, I asked about the edit in the Bulbagarden Discord server and a non-Staff member said "'If the game does something it isn't supposed to, it crashes'. It just means something was not programmed into the game because it is never supposed to happen. Don't think it's notable." which a staff member reacted to in agreement and another responded with "The first part that no NPC uses those items might be fine though". That doesn't point to a policy or anything, but I felt I should explain how I came to make that edit. [[User:Exempt-Medic|Exempt-Medic]] ([[User talk:Exempt-Medic|talk]]) 18:56, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
::Understood. I found it interesting because of the exact timing at which it crashes - at the very end of the entire sequence, when the camera focuses back on the Pokemon that performed the move, right before the background reverts from the Z-move backdrop to the regular field - as far as I can tell with the currently limited tools available, the game is probably trying to call some animation or other model-thing related to the Trainer that initiated the Z-move that NPC trainers do not have (which seems unlikely, I can't imagine what that could be, but the timing and freeze suggests that the most strongly), leading to the game freezing. I had previously wondered if they were not included because GF ran into some difficult bug that they ran out of time to fix, or if they simply did not include it for gameplay balance reasons - that the entire thing works except for the mentioned freeze gives some weight to the "hard bug" thing. We probably won't find any more depth to that until 3DS coding and decompiling advance... I didn't put in the whole explanation because hardware/programming heavy trivia is very uncommon here, probably because we avoid emulation/ROM stuff in general, so I figured it was a bad idea to reference... - ''unsigned comment from {{u|ABZB}} ([[User talk:ABZB|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ABZB|contribs]]) ''

==New learnset templates==

Greetings!

I have made a couple of posts about revamping the move pages earlier this year. You can find them '''[[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Moves|here]]''' and '''[[User talk:Force_Fire/Archive_12#Suggestions|here]]'''. Since then, [[User:C.Ezra.M|C.Ezra.M]] and I have been working on the implementation of these suggestions. To keep this short, I won't reiterate everything.

We propose two new templates: a new header and a new entry template for moves. You can see what their implementation would look like '''[[User:C.Ezra.M/Template:Moveentry/proposal|here]]'''. There is also a '''[[User:C.Ezra.M/Template:Movehead|tutorial page]]''' on how to use the new header.

Our goal with this measure is not only future-proofing, but also decluttering and the shortening of pages. That is why we also propose the merger of the TM/TR and the Tutor sections. Since a move can only be one of these three within a game, it's a perfect solution and the template accommodates all possible game combinations. Incredible help for mobile users, who would no longer have to scroll for ages to find out whether their Infernape could learn Drain Punch or not.

I am willing to do 100% of the manual implementation of myself (though coordinated help is appreciated). Since the new templates wouldn't be compatible with the old code, some editing is required. I would start with the level-up learnsets, then move on to merging the TM and Tutoring sections. The breeding sections would remain separate. Considering I helped with updating the learnsets during the release of SwSh and LA, I hope that my commitment is taken seriously. It is a big job, but I am confident it can be finished before the release of SV.

Please note: we'd like to implement an "All Forms" note for Pokémon like Wormadam (it would have all three artworks in the template), Shaymin, etc. Essentially for Pokémon whose forms have almost identical movesets. This would need separate approval, and I would like to hear the admins' opinion on it. This is not urgent and can be implemented after everything else.

== Italic game titles ==

I'd like to suggest using italics conforming to more standard rules in all articles. Maybe a bit more like Wikipedia?

Game titles:

* ''Pokémon Scarlet''
* ''Pokémon Violet''
* ''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet''

I suggest also formatting anime episode titles and manga round titles with quotation marks and no italics.

Examples:

In "[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]", Ash used his Pokédex to confirm his identity.

In "[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]", Red and Blue saw Mew.

--[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 22:06, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
:In my opinion, it should stay the way it has been for anime episode and manga round titles. I'll abstain on the topic of game titles. --'''''[[User:C.Ezra.M|C.Ezra.M]]''''' ([[User talk:C.Ezra.M|T]]/[[Special:Contribs/C.Ezra.M|C]]) 08:41, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
::I agree with the game titles. It's bothered me for a while, and many other wikis format titles in italics, so I don't see why Bulbapedia shouldn't do the same. [[User:Inkster|Inkster]] ([[User talk:Inkster|talk]]) 19:54, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

::::Maybe it's just me, but sometimes it bothers me a bit that Bulbapedia appears to be the odd one out which does not use italic game titles. Even the other NIWA wikis (which are affiliated to Bulbapedia) use italic titles like ''Super Mario Land'', ''Super Metroid'', and ''Kirby Star Allies'', right? So I wonder why we are not using ''Pokémon Red'', ''Pokémon Diamond'', etc.
::::Personally, the current situation means that I need to actively remember ''not'' to italicize game titles when editing Bulbapedia, when compared to editing/reading other wikis.
::::I don't suppose the idea of using non-italic game titles was something decided on purpose, right? Is there any discussion with people saying: "Hey, Bulbapedia, I think we should have some non-italic game titles", "Oh that's perfect, non-italic works fine for those games", "We are better than all those other wikis that use italic game titles, since non-italic is clearly the best option"
::::Or maybe people just didn't discuss anything. Maybe we just wrote some non-italic game titles and didn't bother to "fix" them, and somehow we ended up with a "tradition" of using non-italic.
::::It could be just me, but my opinion is this: The non-italic game titles look unprofessional. They don't seem to have an actual deliberate style choice; instead, they just appear to be lacking some formatting. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 10:13, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
:::::I think this should be done as there are titles like "Let's go Eevee" which look like a sentence and may confuse while reading it as a part of a real sentence. This should be easy to fix as there are already used templates for links to game articles.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 10:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

== Updating Tables for Scarlet/Violet Encounters ==

Hello! I'm interested in adding encounter tables to Bulbapedia based on extracted data with rarity chances, biome, and areas for each route. Since Pokemon in S/V have rarities, as well as biomes they spawn in within an area, would it be possible to add an encounter table template in a format similar to this?

Pokemon | Biome | Rarity

If there are other ideas for how to categorize encounter info, please discuss! I'm new to editing and would love to help in any way possible. {{Unsigned|HeirOfHeart}}

== Pokemon research ==

The only explanation for the fact that you can find the three regis in hoenn, sinnoh and galar(plz notify if u can find in other reigons too) is that the regi tombs are actually seperate dimensions, and regigigas is also in its own dimension.
These places consist of the regi tombs and even the inside of snowpoint temple!, without the portal they are just empty!. Since the people of olden times couldnt actually do this they must have asked arceus to help them, or in the very least tricked him into doing so, (arceus CAN be tricked as shown in the movie arceus and the jewel of life.)[[User:Hsukhr22|Hsukhr22]] ([[User talk:Hsukhr22|talk]]) 11:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

== Article titles: X in the Pokémon world ==

It seems we currently have 13 articles (non-redirects) with the wording "in the Pokémon world" or "of the Pokémon world" like this:

* [[Air transportation in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Animals in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Death in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Flora of the Pokémon world]]
* [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Illness in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Magazines in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Movies in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Radio in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Transportation in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Water transportation in the Pokémon world]]
* [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world]]

I wonder if that part can be removed so at least some articles would look like this:

* [[Air transportation]]
* [[Animal]]
* [[Death]]
* [[Flora]]
* [[Ghost]] / {{redlink|Ghost (general)}} or something
* [[Illness]]
* [[Land transportation]]
* {{redlink|Magazine}} / {{redlink|Magazine (in-universe)}} or something
* [[Movie]] / {{redlink|Movie (in-universe)}} or something
* [[Radio]]
* [[Transportation]]
* [[Water transportation]]
* [[Weaponry]]

Basically, if we just remove the "in the Pokémon world" and the preceding space, this would save typing 21 characters (22 if you count typing the accent).

Maybe this applies to some cases and not others, but the "in the Pokémon world" can be considered redundant if it's already obvious that we are talking about the Pokémon world.

You know, this wording "in the Pokémon world" is not really present in all the possible article titles where it could be. Shouldn't we have some kind of consistent rule? For instance, if we keep this wording, should [[Human]], [[Television]], and [[Weather]] be moved to {{redlink|Humans in the Pokémon world}}, {{redlink|Television in the Pokémon world}}, and {{redlink|Weather in the Pokémon world}} as well?

I talked a bit with other admins about this. If I understand correctly, one argument for keeping that "in the Pokémon world" wording would be to tell the difference between in-universe and real-life perspectives. So we have [[Pokémon movie]] for the movies made in real-life about Pokémon, and {{redlink|Movies in the Pokémon world}} for the movies created in-universe.

Similarly, it seems we have [[Death in the Pokémon world]] instead of a [[Death]] article because we are not going to actually write text explaining real-life deaths. In this case, this makes sure the article is only about the in-universe perspective. On the other hand, I would argue that the "Death" title would probably still be OK and it would not require content about real-life deaths anyway. You know, we have [[Human]] instead of {{redlink|Humans in the Pokémon world}}, and this article is still about in-universe humans.

In any case, there's a problem about the subject of ghosts. It seems that people would normally expect the page title [[Ghost]] to be about the [[Ghost (type)]], right? In that case, it appears we are not going to use the article title [[Ghost]] to talk about all kinds of unrelated ghosts like the current article [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world]].

There's a minor recurring anime character named Flora. I would suggest perhaps using the article title [[Flora]] to explain the plants and {{red link|Flora (anime)}} for the character. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 15:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
:"Ghosts in the Pokémon world" I think is essential for disambiguation purposes. As you noted, [[Ghost]] is primarily going to refer to the [[Ghost (type)]]. ([[Ghost]] should probably be a redirect and the current page moved to {{redlink|Ghost (disambiguation)}}, but that's a different matter.) I don't think there's any dabtag we could create (e.g. the proposed "general") that would be as immediately clear as to what the topic of the page is as the current title.
:I think in the case of topics where the titles would make more sense as referring to real-world concepts (Radio, Television, Magazines, Movies), it does make sense to include the "in the Pokémon world" qualifier. The main page titles probably should either be articles about the real-world concept, or a disambig page that includes a link to a page about the real-world concept.
:I don't think this same disambiguation is necessary for cases like the transportation articles or [[weather]]. (Perhaps you could argue that Pokémon-branded planes could be an expected topic on the [[air transportation]] page, but my feeling is that in-universe content is more likely to be the expected result, and we can handle that kind of thing via hatnote.) [[Weaponry]], [[death]] and [[illness]] I lean weakly towards dropping "in the Pokémon world", since it's fairly clear those refer to in-universe concepts.
:I can see the argument that we should handle [[human]], animals and flora in similar ways. However, I feel like the distinction here is that "Human" is a term actually used in the Pokémon world, whereas "animals" and "flora" are descriptive titles, so it makes more sense to qualify them with "in the Pokémon world". I could see an argument for moving [[Flora]] to {{redlink|Flora (anime)}} and redirecting [[Flora]] to [[Flora of the Pokémon world]], but I don't think it would make sense to rename that page to [[Flora]]. (Also, I think [[Flora of the Pokémon world]] should be renamed {{redlink|Flora in the Pokémon world}} for consistency.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

== Italics ==
Please let's write video game titles in italics like ''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet'' (instead of non-italics like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet).

As far as I can tell, Pokémon official media (including Pokémon.com, also also the game manuals and boxes) have been consistently using italics game titles from ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'' onwards.

Examples of official text:

* "Various language versions of ''Pokémon Black 2'', ''Pokémon White 2'', ''Pokémon Black'', and ''Pokémon White'' can communicate, battle, and trade with one another." (manual of ''Pokémon Black 2'' and ''White 2'', page 4)
* "This is ''Pokémon Omega Ruby''. The types and likelihood of Pokémon that will appear differ from ''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire''." (back of the box of ''Pokémon Omega Ruby'')

At some point I added a bit of information about the italics game titles in [[Core series#Terminology]].

Wikipedia does it like this: {{wp|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works}}. I know we don't need to do everything like Wikipedia, but this page also notes "These cases are well-established conventions recognized in most style guides."

Bulbapedia is the only NIWA wiki that does not use italics for game titles, right? The italics game titles are used by Mario wiki, Kirby wiki, Metroid wiki, Smash wiki, etc. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 03:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

: I would agree that we should have included this in the manual of style when setting up the wiki, as it is a convention that makes sense and is followed on other wikis. Unfortunately, nearly 24 years have passed since the wiki was opened, and we currently have {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, a large portion of which are going to include at least one game title somewhere in the text. Changing it now would be a massive undertaking, and even using bots wouldn't be a great idea, as there are going to be exceptions that we would want to make (e.g. within templates) that are too nuanced for bots to handle. If you can figure out a way for us to easily update every instance of a game title on the wiki, then we can look into this further, but at the moment it will have to stay in the "maybe someday" pile. - [[User:Rustle|bthrussellUK]] ([[User talk:Rustle|talk]]) 22:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

::I see. Well, maybe we could start by making sure all pages like ''[[Pokémon Emerald Version]]'' had their titles in italics using "DISPLAYTITLE".
::Another thing to do would be italicizing templates like [[Template:game]] and [[Template:game2]] which are used to link to game titles in running text. But unfortunately, if we italicized those templates at the moment, it would cause some inconsistency with game titles outside templates which would still not be italicized in running text until they are edited too.
::Maybe we should also consider not using the exact syntax <nowiki>{{game|Red and Blue|s}}</nowiki> anymore, because it might be convenient to use some other kind of template that leaves the "and" non-italicized. In this case, we would have: [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet'']].
::Okay, so there are dozens of thousands of existing pages. Personally, I wonder how many pages I would be able to edit for this project. I would like to suggest that at least some of the pages might be edited by bots in some circumstances. Maybe in some cases, we might be able to use some semi-automated edits like AWB.
::If we start this project and italicize game titles, I suppose we should also be able to "search" the wiki by creating lists of pages using AWB, for the purpose of checking how many of them seem to be still using non-italics game titles. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 00:23, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

:::Ooh, we were considering this? Bump! That said, I really can’t propose anything more than ‘throw ourselves at it and expect it to take a while’. Fixing templates and adding DISPLAYTITLEs would be a good place to start, but I’m entirely unfamiliar with bots and what they’re capable of.

::: Could they, for instance, find all invocations of a particular template and replace them with calls to a new template, splitting existing arguments on e.g. the word ‘and’ or some such as necessary? Could they do regex-based search-and-replace? What is an AWB? And where should I actually be asking these questions?

:::Whatever exceptions there are that bots can’t handle, I personally think that it would still be worthwhile just to automate what we can and attack the rest on sight. --[[User:Pichugetic|Pichugetic]] ([[User talk:Pichugetic|talk]]) 05:29, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

== About the page titles like Red (game), Blue (game), etc. ==

A few related discussions which were created in December 2023:

* [[Talk:Red (game)#Move]]
* [[Talk:Blue (game)#Move]]
* [[Talk:Green (game)#Move]]
* [[Talk:Silver (game)#Move]]

As discussed in those separate talk pages, I think we can at least agree that these four specific page titles look like they are about games but they are actually about game characters: [[Red (game)]], [[Blue (game)]], [[Green (game)]], and [[Silver (game)]]. Relatedly, [[Gold (game)]] and [[Crystal (game)]] look like they are about games but they are redirects to character pages.

Some different ideas for page titles have been discussed, like this:
* Red (game)
* Red (video game character)
* Red (game character)
* Red (character)

In the talk pages linked above, I originally suggested using the long version (video game character). However, we also discussed using (game character) instead, which is shorter and appears to be just as clear.

You know, it has sometimes been argued that just (character) is not good enough since a number of other characters named share those names: "Blue (character)" could be about [[Blue (Adventures)]], [[Blue (Origins)]], [[Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)]], and [[Blue (Pocket Monsters)]]. However, there is also the possible argument that (game) and (game character) are not entirely accurate because those pages also contain counterparts from other media.

For instance, [[Red (game)]] is currently the main page with information about Red as the character from the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga or from the Pokémon Evolutions anime series. Maybe that could be a point in favor of using "Red (character)" since that would be the main place to look for Red and his counterparts, much like [[Misty]] is mainly about the game character but is the main page for a bunch of her counterparts as well.

Several other characters currently use (game) but they are not exactly named after games, like Ethan (game), Rosa (game), Calem (game), Elio (game), and so on. In this case, I would suggest removing (game) altogether and moving them simply to "Ethan", "Rosa", "Calem", "Elio", etc. whenever possible. They arguably don't need any kind of disambiguation like (game character). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 02:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

:God yes, I'm in support of "Red (character)" for these types of pages. Tacking off the parenthesizes in general would make things so much easier too. Characters like Red should have the (character) around it simply because it shares the name with other topics, characters like Selene don't. However I would also like to bring up that this isn't just a problem with the human characters as well, but also certain Pokemon characters such as Ogerpon or Necrozma as well who have a Ogerpon (species) and Ogerpon (game). The {game) tag for those characters always bugged me as if I'm only looking up info on the species in terms of the games, not a specific character found in the games. [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 05:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

::Yes, I see the point that the page title [[Ogerpon (game)]] looks like it's about the species in terms of games.
::In the case of [[Necrozma (game)]], I would also suggest that the (game) is not entirely accurate, much like Red (game) mentioned above. I find it a bit odd that (game) is explicitly in the title but the page also contains information about Necrozma's appearance in the Pokémon Evolutions anime. To be fair, I know that this page is mainly about the game version and that the Evolutions version was directly based on the game version. I suppose Necrozma (game and Evolutions) would be too long for a title. lol
::I also find it interesting that Barry is currently named "[[Barry (game)]]" but a bunch of other rivals don't have (game).

:::Since this involves changing the manual of style, and all the implications of a widesweeping change for something like this, it's not really something we can simply change independent of the style guidelines that have been in place since the wiki began. It's not enough to just nominate them all and see what happens, as changes to the manual of style have to be workshopped and all the consequences planned for.

::::Oh well, maybe we can try to discuss some additional details about this project.
::::If we start using (character) for Red (character), Blue (character), Green (character), and Silver (character), then a new template like <nowiki>{{char}}</nowiki> can link to them. Once this is done, we can change all instances like <nowiki>{{ga|Red}}</nowiki> into <nowiki>{{char|Red}}</nowiki> by bot.
::::One thing that makes this easier to implement is that several of the other affected pages already have the titles without (game) as redirects: [[Leaf]], [[Kris]], [[Brendan]], [[Lucas]], [[Hilbert]], [[Hilda]], [[Nate]], [[Rosa]], [[Calem]], [[Elio]], [[Selene]], [[Chase]], [[Elaine]], [[Gloria]], [[Florian]], and [[Juliana]].
::::Some pages without (game) are disambiguation pages: [[Ethan]], [[Lyra]], [[May]], [[Dawn]], [[Barry]], [[Serena]], [[Trace]], [[Victor]], [[Rei]], [[Akari]]. I think we can probably delete most if not all of the existing disambiguation pages and replace them by hatnotes, since those disambiguation pages are very short and they mostly point back to the same character, and possibly a Masters or anime version.
::::The page [[Rei]] is a disambiguation currently pointing to four links unrelated to each other, so maybe that can be moved to "Rei (disambiguation)".
::::[[Trace (game)]] is currently for the rival character but there is also an Ability named {{a|Trace}}. Is the rival character important enough to have the main name "Trace" without parentheses? Another idea would be using "Trace (character)" like the "Red (character)" mentioned above.
::::The [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Disambiguation]] section currently says something that seems to be wrong. It claims that all games and game characters should have (game), much like all Pokémon species have (Pokémon). So basically it seems that all Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Champions, other NPCs, etc. would have (game) as per this policy, like "Sabrina (game)", "Lance (game)", "Lana (game)", etc. Not to mention all game titles would have (game) too, like "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (game)". I know that we don't really do this kind of thing, so maybe we should talk about changing this part of the manual of style.
::::Fortunately, the manual of style also says this at the top, which gives us a bit more freedom to follow actual usage rather than the exact rules: "Note, however, that this document is not updated frequently; survey prevailing conventions as well as reading these guidelines." --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 13:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::The manual of style's disambiguation section starts off with ''"When two subjects would have the same article title, ..."'' so I don't think it's saying ''all'' game articles need to be dabtagged. (Reading the second paragraph, it seems that only Pokémon and moves currently explicitly ''require'' a dabtag per the manual of style.) I don't think there's any conflict with the proposed moves of, say, Calem or Elio. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:00, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::If you're saying that, I wonder if there's a bit of ambiguity in this part:
::::::''"In some cases, a disambiguating term is used for all pages of the same type, such as Pokémon and moves. Common disambiguations have templates to make linking them easier. A sample of these follows: [...] '''game''' An article for a game, or a character from a game, for example, [[Silver (game)]]. Short link: {{Template|game}}"''
::::::Arguably there are two different ways to see this:
::::::* "A sample of these follows" is located in the same paragraph as "In some cases, a disambiguating term is used for all pages of the same type," so this appears to be the section explicitly saying that all Pokémon species should have (Pokémon), all moves should have (move), all types should have (type), and all TCG stuff should have (TCG). This section also uses exactly the same wording to claim that all games and game characters should have (game) even though that is not something we really do.
::::::* Or alternatively, we could try to make the point that "A sample of these follows" is just about "Common disambiguations have templates" so this is simply a list of link templates with no ruling about using them or not.
::::::At the very least, if we rename [[Silver (game)]] to Silver (character), then the manual of style would need to be edited because it uses Silver (game) as an example of a character with (game). Not to mention the general idea of removing (game) from all characters, which if implemented would affect the manual of style as well. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 21:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::Another point I'd like to mention is that, based on previous discussions and other external conversations like on Discord, it appears that nobody likes using (game) for those kinds of characters.
:::::::Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that nobody likes that the article for Red is currently named "Red (game)". I have yet to see someone arguing that "Red (game)" would be the best option in comparison with other ideas like "Red (character)" or "Red (game character)".
:::::::As stated above, the article title "Red (game)" looks like it is about the game named Pokémon Red. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 06:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::My preference would be to use "(character)" where that is sufficient disambiguation, and "(game character)" when there are other characters from other media with that same name. I do like the idea of handling Red just like [[Misty]], where there are pages for her counterparts in other media, but the main page still serves as a hub for her appearances across all media (so it's not titled "Misty (game character)"). In cases where it isn't necessary at all (e.g. [[Hilda]]), just drop the dabtag entirely.
::::::::For Pokémon characters, they really need to specify the exact game they are from. For example, [[Necrozma (game)]] really should be titled {{redlink|Necrozma (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon character)}} instead. But I think that's an entirely different matter to how we handle protagonists and rivals who currently use "(game)" in their titles. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::I like the suggestion of using "(character)" as a dabtag. If Red (game) is going to remain a hub for incarnations of Red across various media, it'd make sense to call that page Red (character). There are no other characters named Red in other media, so that's specific enough. However, there are multiple characters named Silver across media, so the Silver (game) page would need to be moved to Silver (game character). But that title could be a little confusing, since the page serves as a hub for his appearances across all media. Since he's the most significant character named Silver, I think it's OK to give him the main Silver (character) page and hatnote to the minor anime characters. Meanwhile, characters that don't appear across multiple media are disambiguated by the game they came from, like Sawyer (Masters), which is fine by me. So, I'm not entirely sure where "(game character)" would be used as a dabtag. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Yeah, if we are going for hub pages, we can't really easily use "(game character)". For Silver, I think "Silver (rival)" would work just fine for the title of the hub page. (Unfortunately, neither "(Johto)" or "(human)" work on their own, so would need to be combined as the very awkward "(Johto human character)" if we wanted to try an alternative.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:56, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

* <nowiki>{{char|Red}}</nowiki> → Red (character)
* <nowiki>{{ch|Red}}</nowiki> → Red (character)

We also have two existing pages with (character) other than redirects: [[Copycat (character)]] and [[Detective Pikachu (character)]].

:I suppose we will want to keep the status quo in pages like [[Misty]], where a page mainly about the game character is also used as a hub for several other versions.

(resetting indent) Currently editing PLA-based pages... [[Charm (Hisui)]] is a page that exists. Was never titled ''Charm (game)''. She should probably be brought in the discussion too, as the name Charm (Hisui) made me think there was another character in the games named Charm (there isn't, she's the only one, however there is a [[Team Charm]] which isn't mentioned on the [[Charm]] disambig). I don't necessarily think Charm (game) is a good name, but Charm (character), as per suggested move with Red (game) going to Red (Character). As far as I know region tagging only (or should) applies to either item names, or multiple characters within a certain media that needs distinction. Also there's [[Lily (XD)]], but not Lily (game), so we could theoretically label specific games if need be (I don't think this is necessarily the best choice), however, I think that was done because (game) is sued for characters in the core series ([[DJ|DJ Lily]] and [[Lillie]] do not have this tag at all, with the prior only being a DJ redirect).

== Website Type Color Changes ==

Recently the website changed every single type color to have a much higher saturation, and in many cases completely different hues. Some are jarring and do not look like the representative type at all. Fighting for example is now bright orange, while Fire is blood red (the opposite of what they originally were in relation to one another). Ground is so dark that it looks like a glitch and the color inverted. Some of the changes are so bright/dark that it is actually hard to read.

Why was this changed? Why is it so different to the in-game type palettes? Can it be changed back, or at least have their saturation reduced so they're not difficult or painful to read? {{unsigned|Tommaniacal}}
:The colors weren't something we just made up, they're the colors used in Scarlet and Violet. The change has received positive support and reception from editors, staff, and the community, so it's not likely we will just change them back, however, we are happy to look into making any necessary improvements. Feel free to share any specific issues here, or join the discussion over at the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbagarden Discord server], where we have been discussing the project in [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/1204550050726940683 its own thread].

== "Terminology" section ==

As discussed today on Discord, several articles have a "Terminology" section about how and where several possible names have been used in official media, including the games, anime, manga, manuals, guidebooks, videos, trailers, websites, and internal data.

It appears that in some past discussions, the "Terminology" section has been used for purposes like these:
* Telling if a term is officially used as opposed to a fan term, such as the fact that "[[signature move]]" has sometimes been used officially.
* Discerning the correct spelling and/or capitalization of each term according to official usage, such as how "[[legendary birds]]" starts with a lowercase "legendary".

Some examples of pages with this section:
* {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} each have a long "Terminology" section, but {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Lucas}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} each have a shorter one. [[Daisy Oak]] has this section with information about her name and surname.
* These "Terminology" sections are currently pretty short with just a few notes about usage variations: [[Move]], [[Gym Leader]], [[Region]], [[Dynamax]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games]], [[Rocky wall]], [[Egg Pokémon (Masters)]], {{TCG|Booster pack}}, [[Starter deck]], {{tc|Ace Trainer}}, {{tc|PI}}, etc.
* These "Terminology" sections are longer: [[Pokémon (species)]], [[Stat]], [[Badge]], [[Friendship]], [[Signature move]], [[Terastal phenomenon]], [[Poké Doll]], [[Pass]], [[Secret Medicine]], [[Status move]], [[Legendary birds]], [[Route]], [[Cerulean Cave]], [[Silph Co]], [[Cinnabar Island]], [[S.S. Aqua]], {{adv|Red, Green & Blue arc}}, etc.
* There are some separate terminology pages: [[Terminology of Primal Reversion]], [[Terminology of Shiny Pokémon]], [[Terminology of first partner Pokémon]], and so on. The main pages like [[Primal Reversion]], [[Shiny Pokémon]], and [[First partner Pokémon]] typically have a short summary in the "Terminology" section, with a link to the separate terminology pages.

Some questions:

* The "Terminology" section is currently placed at the top of the page, directly below the intro. Is this placement OK?
* Is the section name "Terminology" appropriate for all pages? In particular, is it appropriate for names of individual people like {{ga|Red}}?
* Would you change anything else in the "Terminology" sections?

Thanks. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 08:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
: I think the Terminology section should be placed towards the bottom of the page, in the same general area that sections like "In other languages" are. It's interesting information to some readers, but the average reader isn't really going to care about exactly how the term has been used in official media.
: I think "Terminology" makes sense as the title for concepts like "First partner Pokémon" or "Dynamax", but "Names" would be a better title for the section on pages for characters and places that have names, like "Red (game)" or "Olivine Lighthouse".
: If there's just a couple different variants on the name/term, I don't think the page needs a full terminology section; a note that references different examples of the variants is fine, such as how it's handled on [[EX role]].
: Something that I think might be helpful to note in the terminology section is whether a term is used in-universe or not. I went down a rabbit hole a couple years back trying to figure out if starter Pokémon or first partner Pokémon was used in-universe, and I feel like the terminology section would be a good place to put that information. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

::Yes, I agree about using the Terminology section to figure out if a term is used in-universe or not.
::About the placement, I was thinking that the Terminology section would probably be OK at the top because it informs what are the terms to be used in the rest of the article and lets us know if they are officially used. But I see what you mean... if that's interesting to some readers but the average reader won't care about official usage, then I suppose that moving the Terminology towards the bottom of the page could be the best option indeed.
::At the moment, [[Kris (game)]] appears to be the only article with the Terminology section at the bottom as a subsection of "Names". However, there is also a separate "Optional names" section which we might want to merge with the "Names" as well.
::As I was saying on Discord the other day, the character pages like Kris sometimes have three sections "Names", "Optional names", and "Terminology" on completely separate parts of the same page. Since they are all name-related sections, I think it would be nice to keep them together in some shape or form. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 15:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

== Remove the word "by" from some lists of Pokémon ==

There are some lists of Pokémon which appear to incorrectly use the word "by". Their titles suggest that the Pokémon are sorted by the list subject, but in fact they are sorted by the National Pokédex number by default (usually with sortable controls).

;Lists to be renamed
In my opinion, those are straightforward:
* [[List of Pokémon by base stats in Generation IX]] (and other generations) → List of Pokémon base stats in Generation IX
* [[List of Pokémon by breeding attributes]] → List of Pokémon breeding attributes
* [[List of Pokémon by catch rate]] → List of Pokémon catch rates
* [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield in Generation IX]] (and other generations) → List of Pokémon effort value yields in Generation IX
* [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line]] → List of Pokémon evolutionary lines
* [[List of Pokémon by experience type]] → List of Pokémon experience types
* [[List of Pokémon by call rate]] → List of Pokémon call rates
* [[List of Pokémon by food preferences]] → List of Pokémon food preferences
* [[List of Pokémon by performance stats]] → List of Pokémon performance stats

Personally, I like this title but I'm setting it apart because it uses a different naming system:
* [[List of Pokémon by wild held item]] → List of items held by wild Pokémon

I'm not entirely sure about these titles, please check if they look good:
* [[List of Pokémon by Ability]] → List of Abilities by Pokémon
* [[List of Pokémon by base friendship]] → List of Pokémon base friendship values

This was based on the ongoing discussion [[Talk:List of Pokémon by breeding attributes#Move 2]] and the 2020 discussion [[Talk:List of Pokémon by wild held item#Move]].

;Lists that should keep their current names
Just to be clear, I'm not saying that we should rename all the Pokémon lists which include a "by" in their titles. Most of the existing lists with the word "by" are correctly referring to the order of listed Pokémon so their names are fine:
* [[List of Pokémon by name]]
* [[List of Pokémon by height]]
* [[List of Pokémon by weight]]
* [[List of Pokémon by shape]]
* [[List of Pokémon by color]]
* [[List of Pokémon by habitat]]
* [[List of Pokémon by IQ group]]
* [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio]]
* [[List of Pokémon by index number in Generation I]]
* [[List of Pokémon by Pal Park location]]
* [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number]]
* [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number]]
* [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Duel Library number]]
* [[List of Pokémon by Ransei Gallery order]]
* and so on
--[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 17:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

:I feel a lot of these proposed titles are inaccurate. For instance the [[List of Pokémon by breeding attributes]] page is ''not'' a list of breeding attributes. It's a list of Pokémon ''and'' their breeding attributes, so technically a title like "List of Pokémon and their breeding attributes" would be more accurate, if less concise. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 22:18, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

::Maybe the wording "and their" would apply to any more lists? For instance:
::* List of Pokémon and their Abilities
::* List of Pokémon and their base friendship
::* List of Pokémon and their base stats in Generation IX
::* List of Pokémon and their breeding attributes
::* List of Pokémon and their call rates
::* List of Pokémon and their catch rates
::* List of Pokémon and their effort value yields in Generation IX
::* List of Pokémon and their evolutionary lines
::* List of Pokémon and their experience types
::* List of Pokémon and their food preferences
::* List of Pokémon and their items held in the wild
::* List of Pokémon and their performance stats

:::I feel like that's kinda the same thing? "List of Pokémon by [their] catch rate", "List of Pokémon by [their] Abilities" so on so forth. So I guess "their" could just be added after the "by", but I think the current wording is fine and some lists can be organised by clicking the arrows on the columns, so them being listed in National dex order doesn't feel like a big deal.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
::::Something to note, is that wiki best practice for lists articles is typically to cut out unecessary words: {{wp|Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lists#List_naming|"an overly precise list title can be less useful and can make the list difficult to find."}} Moving these pages would make them unecessary long and indeterminable for resources like the automatic drop down when searching (Some of the examples above would turn into ''List of Pokémon and their perfor'', ''List of Pokémon and their expe'', ''List of Pokémon and their effo''.) Additionally, with descriptively titled references like this that are created by us, I don't think there are any substansive benefits to changing a subgroup of them to have a different title, breaking expectations that readers have with where to find them.

::::As for pages being sorted by Pokémon first, I think it's important to have things listed in a relatable order (which, one of the most accessible universal orders we have is Pokédex order). FWIW, this is also called out on {{wp|Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lists#Organization|Wikipedia's guidance for lists}}: "The most basic form of organization is alphabetical or numerical". This is a practice that makes the pages more accessible, since the actual attribute should always be included in a sortable column. I would imagine most people using the references would search for a Pokémon to discover their attribute (useful information), instead of searching for an attribute to discover the list of Pokémon that have it (trivial information). Does it matter to anyone which Pokémon have a call rate of 6? It's far more likely that someone wants the call rate of Diglett, and would then also be looking for the call rate of Dugtrio.

::::While there are some individual lists that may be in need of better titles, the current base title structure is fine. A sweeping change to a significant portion of them would be inappropriate.

::::::Thanks guys for the feedback. Okay, I can change my mind about this proposal. I suppose we can keep the current naming system like "List of Pokémon by catch rate".
::::::I understand the point that the goal is usually finding out information about a Pokémon instead of finding out what Pokémon share the same values. Basically, someone might be interested in finding Pikachu's catch rate, as opposed to finding out who are all the Pokémon with catch rate 90.
::::::In defense of the titles with "by", as mentioned above, they are indeed accurate a sense because of the sortable columns. The "List of Pokémon by catch rate" is not sorted by catch rate by default, but we can click on the sortable column and make it a true list sorted "by catch rate".
::::::I'd like to note that I personally never suggested adding "by National Pokédex number" to all lists.

:::::::No yeah that "by National Pokédex number" part came out super confusingly and that's absolutely my bad.

== About Audio Files ==

I am a contributer who come from wiki.52poke.com, majorly music stuffs. Mudkip (founder) and I jointly drafted the relevant Audio Files guidelines, although they are still on my user subpage and have not been moved out.

On feb 18th, 52poke.com has updated to MediaWiki 1.43 and added support of audio file, so I followed Wikipedia's fair use guidelines and uploaded some ogg opus audio samples with a bit rate of 64Kb/s and less than 30 seconds according to the album, for audition on the album page and single page, and indicated where the music was used. Usually start with the chorus, some start with the verse or the beginning of the whole song, because I'm not sure where the chorus is or if there is a chorus.

I need to put each song into the DAW (I use FL Studio) and measure the BPM and align it to the grid, then find the beginning of the chorus and cut the front part and move it to the beginning, then switch to 120BPM and cut at 15 bars 3.5 (Exactly 29.75 seconds). Then use "Export All Playlist Tracks" to export the trimmed audio, and then send it to Adobe Media Encoder with AdobeOgg.prm installed for encoding.

Currently, I am the only one providing audio files and I have collected almost all the lossless audio files of Japanese albums. So I want to know what other Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis members think about this, whether they support or oppose it, and whether they will follow suit in the future. If Bulbapedia or other Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis members need it, they can probably get it directly from 52poke.com. ——[[User:Satoshi2310|Satoshi2310]] ([[User talk:Satoshi2310|talk]]) 08:17, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you for the offer! However, there are a lot of things to consider regarding the usage of audio files on Bulbapedia, so we won't be implementing audio files anytime soon. For more details, see the conversation in [https://discord.com/channels/202737349996576769/1115868340490096680/1348348229523079338 the Bulbagarden Discord].

== Names of lists of cards from TCG GB ==

These are lists of cards from [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)]] and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]:

* [[List of cards by index number in Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)]]
* [[List of cards by index number in Pokémon Trading Card Game 2]]
* [[List of Pokémon cards by Pokédex number (TCG GB1)]]
* [[List of Pokémon cards by Pokédex number (TCG GB2)]]
* [[List of Pokémon cards by type (TCG GB1)]]
* [[List of Pokémon cards by type (TCG GB2)]]

As you can see, those lists currently use different naming systems. I created them a few years ago, at which point they all used the dabtags (TCG GB1) and (TCG GB2). However, according to [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Article titles and terminology]], it appears they shouldn't be using any dabtags like those.

I suggest using the article titles below for the lists, using the same titles as the game articles:

* List of cards by index number in Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)
* List of cards by index number in Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!
* List of Pokémon cards by Pokédex number in Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)
* List of Pokémon cards by Pokédex number in Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!
* List of Pokémon cards by type in Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)
* List of Pokémon cards by type in Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!

:Staff have set this topic aside as something that needs dedicated attention later. I also already mentioned this exact message to you on February 18, less than one month ago. Please stop continuing to bring up topics that we don't have the capacity for right now. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 06:52, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
::I don't think you made this clear on February 18 (or February 17 according to my local time). You asked me where was the discussion about moving these pages, so I waited a while and created this discussion.
::Sadly these lists I created years ago don't have a consistent naming system anymore... but I see now that this is not the right time to discuss them. I hope this issue can be sorted out eventually. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 07:37, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
:::That excludes the fact that we've had several clarifying conversations since then about how to approach moves and splits. The fact of the matter here, is that it's unacceptable that you introduced 13(!) different moves/splits in a single week, many of which involve the long and tedious process of modifying the Manual of Style and other policies. We don't have the capacity to keep up with such overwhelming edits. Please find some other way to contribute to the wiki that doesn't involve doing drastic changes to existing content.

:::::You have the six considerations mentioned in this section.

I may have simplified my message to say a "week" while it is ''slightly'' longer, but the difference here between 7 days and 10 days is not a significant distinction from the fact that it's simply too many major content changes. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 02:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
::::::Point taken. Thank you for taking the time to check this.
::::::Yes, I see you are right about this. Those are too many discussions in a short time.
::::::We could say that those are 8 discussions instead of counting to 13 like that. But on the other hand, if we dig deeper and start counting the total number of affected articles, I see it could be even higher than 13 after all.
::::::[[Talk:List of glitches in Generation VIII#Split]] looks like the start of a major discussion. After a few replies, it now has different ideas for splitting or merging several glitch pages.
::::::To tell the truth, at the moment I'm not convinced that each of the mentioned discussions individually is about a drastic change that requires changing policy. I think that maybe some of them are suggested minor changes, or they are just suggested ways to implement the current policy without changing it. For what's worth, I created most of the pages you mentioned.
::::::If you don't mind, please confirm this again: Is it correct that absolutely all moves/splits need discussion? If allowed, I could simply move "List of Transform glitches" back to "Transform glitches" without discussion per the manual of style (the manual mentions the article "[[Cloning glitches]]"). --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 03:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::::All moves/splits/merges/etc requiring discussion is an individual instruction for you personally, because there have been too many instances where more experienced staff have had to undo the changes you make.

== Problem with Pikachu ==

In pikachu's page, under his Gigantamax height and weight, it specifies that it is for his partner form, not gigantimax form. This is due to the fact that the template only allows you to put the height and weight up to form 4, which is the partner pikachu. Can someone please fix this? [[User:Riamuka|Riamuka]] ([[User talk:Riamuka|talk]]) 16:07, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

:This is actually intentional, since Gigantamax Pokémon are actually immeasurably heavy that their weight shows up as ??? kg/lbs in the Pokédex. It is also why Dynamaxed Pokémon are unaffected by moves that are affected by weight, such as Low Kick or Heavy Slam.
:Because your question concerns a single page, it would have been better to put it on [[Talk:Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu's own talk page]] than here. '''[[User:C.Ezra.M|C.Ezra.M]]''' ([[User talk:C.Ezra.M|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/C.Ezra.M|contribs]]) 16:34, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

== Move type for UNITE Battle exclusive for [[HZ141]] ==

As far as I know Unite Move is completely not related to Type. As a result, I don't think Unite Moves used in the character's article are accurate.

'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''アオキ''' ''Aoki'') is a businessman who works for the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s [[Pokémon League]], where he serves as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Medali]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Medali Gym]], and a member of Paldea's [[Elite Four]]. Preferring to [[Type expert|specialize]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which as a Gym Leader, he also specializes in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as an Elite Four member.

==In the core series games==

===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a tall, middle-aged man of average build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones and eyebags, grayish-black eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square black eyebrows and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it. Larry also has a pretty poor posture as shown by his slouched back.

Larry wears a somewhat worn-out light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. Beneath his suit is a grayish-blue long-sleeve button-downed shirt and a light blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member.

As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them. He only wears his gloves when working as an Elite Four member.

Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.

===Challenging the Medali Gym===
Medali Gym Leader: Larry

(AKA the Exceptional Everyman)

"This Normal-type user is the middle of the pack when it comes to Gym Leaders. He has a day job helping run the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where he is not the best rated worker. He loves to eat."

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

Larry is a serious, professional, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. In [[The Indigo Disk]], it is revealed through his conversation with [[Ryme]], that Larry was contracted for the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]].<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Ryme]] in [[The Indigo Disk]]. ''"Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]]." - Larry''

''"Oh, Yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too! That new battle court's pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted. My [[Tyme|sister]] loved her old rocky court, but my {{p|Houndstone}} couldn't burrow into that!" - Ryme''</ref> He mentions that he is strictly told to cut down on his overtime hours.<ref>''"In any case, I've been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I'll call it a day." - Larry''</ref> He sees being a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member as a part of his workload. He is not passionate about his day job and [[Pokémon]] battling. Larry is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He is shown to be able to sleep while standing up.<ref>Larry's conversation with Hassel in The Indigo Disk shows him sleeping while standing up.

''"Well, I was asleep, just now actually." - Larry''

</ref>

Larry sees himself as an average, ordinary person; if the player chooses him as their favorite Gym Leader after they complete the Gym assessments, he questions their choice.<ref>''"[[Geeta|The boss]] contacted me the other day... She said you’d given my name when asked about your favorite Gym Leader. I really don’t understand your choice. Why would you pick an average Joe like me? Maybe you’re overworked and it’s affecting your judgment...? I know a good park where you could go to unwind, if that’s the case." - Larry''</ref> His core belief is "Simplicity is Strongest" as he sees no need to overcomplicate things in life.<ref>''"People, Pokémon... There's no need to overcomplicate things."''

''"Nowadays people only seem to want a shock factor. Something weird, something bizarre."''

''"At the end of the day, though, nothing beats the relief of coming home, even after a fun vacation."''

''"When all's said and done, simplicity is strongest." - Larry''</ref> Larry intentionally hides his face in his Gym Leader profile picture because he wants to maintain a low profile and avoid the risk of attracting crowds.<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Iono]] from [[The Indigo Disk]]:

''"Yo, Larry! How come you don't face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?" - Iono''

''"I prefer to keep a low profile..."'' ''"If people knew my face, I'd run the risk of drawing crowds. That'd make it hard to get into restaurants-or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry''

''"Hwhaaa! Hold up, back up! You DON'T want people to recognize you?"'' ''"Wait-that's not even the most bonkeriest part! How'd you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!"'' ''- Iono''

''"Oh, that's just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose..." - Larry''

''"Daaang. You're adulting like a pro, Larry."'' ''-'' ''Iono''</ref> Larry is noted to be very quiet, which results in [[Hassel]] to be unable to hear him from afar.<ref>''"Uh... Don't think he heard you, Larry." "Larry, you...you may need to speak up just a little bit more." - [[Rika]]''

''"I think the real problem with the Elite Trial is that [[Hassel]] is the one after me. [[Rika]] or [[Poppy]] would hear me just fine, even if I didn’t shout." - Larry''</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Larry states that he is simultaneously a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member because the Paldean League is short-staffed.<ref>Kabu: ''Larry, is it true that you work double duty as a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member?''

Larry: ''Yes. We're short-staffed...''

[[Middle-Aged Opposites]]</ref>

He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image, he is also fond of Normal-type Pokémon.<ref>''"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill...I'm pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I'm about as ordinary as you can get." - Larry''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me." - Larry''</ref> In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.<ref>''"I serve as a member of the [[Elite Four]] too, yes...Unfortunately for me."''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."''

''"But, well, the boss told me to use a different [[type]] here."''

''- Larry''</ref> During the Gym battle rematch, Larry is shown to understand why Geeta made him use Flying-type Pokémon as an Elite Four member. Larry acknowledges the benefits of using Flying-type Pokémon by telling the player character that, "There's scenery you'll never even notice if you stick to flat, well-trodden paths. It'll do me good to admire talent that soars as high as yours from time to time."

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the [[Treasure Eatery]] of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles. After being defeated in the Gym battle, Larry treats the player character to food. In [[The Indigo Disk]], Larry reveals that he also enjoys going on business trips.<ref>''"Calling me all the way out to another region... Is a certain [[Geeta|chairwoman]] rubbing off on you?"''

''"Actually, don’t worry about it. To be honest, I don’t mind these little business trips."''

''"I know I’m here for work, but I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it." - Larry''</ref>

====The Indigo Disk====
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. When challenged to a [[rematch]], he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.

Larry may converse with other Trainers present in the [[League Club Room]].

===Pokémon===
As a Gym Leader, Larry's team consists of {{t|Normal}} types, while he uses {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member. In the rematch with him at the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], his team will be made up of both Normal and Flying types. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Staraptor}}.

Larry will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Staraptor}} at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Larry debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', where he was seen eating at the [[Treasure Eatery]] while [[Friede]] met with [[Lucca]] there.

He physically debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where he and the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watched [[Liko]]'s battle against [[Ann]] at [[Naranja Academy]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Larry battled [[Coral]] and [[Kofu]] as part of the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], only for Coral to have her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, knocking out all of their Pokémon and leaving Larry the winner by default.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Larry was assigned as [[Dot]]'s next challenge for the [[Tera Training]] course.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Larry appeared during the reopening of the new menu at [[Anything Goes Café]]. After the meal, he left without attracting much attention, but was noticed by Dot when he left.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Larry was Dot's opponent for her second Terastal battle, where he used both his {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Dudunsparce}} against Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}. Even after Dot's Quaxly evolved into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and put up a great fight by {{Tera}}stallizing, Larry was still able to win by Terastallizing his Staraptor in turn and exploiting Quaxwell's paralysis. Despite her loss, Larry still approved Dot for her opportunistic use of Terastallization. Afterwards, when Dot and her friends ate some [[rice ball]]s at the Treasure Eatery, Larry was forced to pay their bill, much to his dismay.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Larry was seen talking with [[Geeta]] and [[Ryme]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] taking place. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Larry watched Liko and Roy's battle with Ryme in the audience. After the tournament, Larry exchanged nods with Dot before leaving.

Larry appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Larry appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Larry watched Liko, [[Roy]], and Dot's battle against Geeta along with the others present.

In [[HZ127]], Larry refereed Roy and {{an|Nemona}}'s training battle alongside [[Captain Pikachu]].
{{-}}

====Character====
Larry has a very brooding, serious, stoic and calm personality, rarely showing much emotions both in and out of battling. He prefers the simple things in life, including simple but delicious foods. This simple, stoic and calm nature befits him as a Normal-type user, and he even tells his opponents not to underestimate Normal-type Pokémon in battle. Regarding food, Larry is a massive foodie much like in the video games. He loves going to various restaurants to eat and has a hearty appetite, Larry is also shown to be highly respected in his hometown. He is also generous enough to treat other people for a meal, like with Liko, Roy and Dot, though he was dismayed upon having to pay the whole bill.

In battle, Larry is calm and focused as ever, calmly analyzing his opponents movements and not giving their Pokémon much time to recover, capitalizing on opportunities and status conditions to exploit his opponent's weaknesses. His strength is shown simply by being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member at the same time, just like in the video games. Larry is humble in victory and even passed Dot for her battle tactics and improved skills despite her losing, showcasing his judge of a person's skills.
{{-}}

====Pokémon====
Similar to the games, Larry uses two completely different teams of Pokémon, one team for challenges as a Gym Leader and another for battles as an Elite Four member.

==In the manga==
[[File:Larry Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Larry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Larry debuted in [[PASV17]]. He was first seen at the [[Treasure Eatery]], grabbing a [[Rotom Phone]] [[Penny]] left behind when she left the building. He went outside to return it, only to find Penny surrounded by a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The Grunts used their Pokémon to attack Larry, but were easily defeated, giving Penny to opportunity to flee.

In [[PASV19]], {{Violet}} and {{adv|Arven}} went to have lunch at the Treasure Eatery, only to find the building closed. The employees explained that a co-worker went missing while passing through [[Asado Desert]] to buy ingredients at [[Porto Marinada]]. Assuming this was the work of the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}, Violet and Arven promised to find the employee. They were stopped by Larry, who noted that he heard rumors about Violet and Arven's accomplishments in taking down the various Titans and wished to test their skills as Trainers. After being forced to register at the [[Medali Gym]], Violet and Larry faced each other in a Gym battle at the Treasure Eatery. Violet eventually emerged victorious after taking out Larry's {{Terastal}}lized {{p|Staraptor}}. Accepting his loss, Larry recognized that Violet and Arven were truly as strong as the rumors suggested and allowed them to go face the Titan.

In [[PASV21]], Larry was confronted by his fellow [[Elite Four]] members and [[Geeta]], the Top Champion. Geeta explained that they came to investigate a report to the {{pal|Pokémon League}} claiming Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, but quickly dismissed it as false. Larry told the others that the Trainers he supposedly attacked were members of Team Star and that they were harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. Geeta expressed worry that a number of problems recently started appearing, including a false student that managed to sneak their way into the academy. After a brief discussion on what they each knew about the false student, it was determined the false student was actually a girl named [[Scarlet Koito]].

In [[PASV23]], {{adv|Nemona}} was called by Geeta to have a meeting with the Pokémon League members at the Medali Gym. Once she arrived, Larry and the others began questioning Nemona on what she knew about Scarlet. After finishing their discussion and Nemona left, Geeta decided to have the [[Gym Leader]]s determine if Scarlet was trustworthy by monitoring her, much to Larry's annoyance.

Dudunsparce's known moves are {{m|Hyper Drill}} and {{m|Take Down}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|非凡サラリーマン|Extraordinary Salaryman}}.
* As both a [[Gym Leader]] and an [[Elite Four]] member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same [[Pokémon League]] simultaneously.
* Larry's specialization in {{t|Flying}} types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
** Him specializing in both {{t|Normal}} and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is [[List of type combinations by abundance|the most common type combination]] amongst dual-type Pokémon.
* Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader in the core series to:
** {{Tera}}stallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
** Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
** Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
* During the Champion Assessment, Larry's {{p|Altaria}} does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves that match the specialty type of its Trainer.
* During his Gym battle, Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}} is female, but during the [[rematch]], it is male.
* During the battle at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Larry's team uses a mixture of both Normal and Flying types.
* In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Larry's {{p|Staraptor}} shares three of the same Flying-type moves with [[Lucius's Moltres]]: {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Air Slash}}.
* In the [[PPW04|fourth episode]] of [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], [[Iono]] confirms that Larry has been part of the Pokémon League for 25 years.

'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''アオキ''' ''Aoki'') is a businessman who works for the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s [[Pokémon League]], where he serves as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Medali]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Medali Gym]], and a member of Paldea's [[Elite Four]]. Preferring to [[Type expert|specialize]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which as a Gym Leader, he also specializes in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as an Elite Four member.

==In the core series games==

===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a tall, middle-aged man of average build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones and eyebags, grayish-black eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square black eyebrows and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it. Larry also has a pretty poor posture as shown by his slouched back.

Larry wears a somewhat worn-out light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. Beneath his suit is a grayish-blue long-sleeve button-downed shirt and a light blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member.

As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them. He only wears his gloves when working as an Elite Four member.

Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.

===Challenging the Medali Gym===
Medali Gym Leader: Larry

(AKA the Exceptional Everyman)

"This Normal-type user is the middle of the pack when it comes to Gym Leaders. He has a day job helping run the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where he is not the best rated worker. He loves to eat."

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

Larry is a serious, professional, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. In [[The Indigo Disk]], it is revealed through his conversation with [[Ryme]], that Larry was contracted for the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]].<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Ryme]] in [[The Indigo Disk]]. ''"Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]]." - Larry''

''"Oh, Yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too! That new battle court's pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted. My [[Tyme|sister]] loved her old rocky court, but my {{p|Houndstone}} couldn't burrow into that!" - Ryme''</ref> He mentions that he is strictly told to cut down on his overtime hours.<ref>''"In any case, I've been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I'll call it a day." - Larry''</ref> He sees being a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member as a part of his workload. He is not passionate about his day job and [[Pokémon]] battling. Larry is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He is shown to be able to sleep while standing up.<ref>Larry's conversation with Hassel in The Indigo Disk shows him sleeping while standing up.

''"Well, I was asleep, just now actually." - Larry''

</ref>

Larry sees himself as an average, ordinary person; if the player chooses him as their favorite Gym Leader after they complete the Gym assessments, he questions their choice.<ref>''"[[Geeta|The boss]] contacted me the other day... She said you’d given my name when asked about your favorite Gym Leader. I really don’t understand your choice. Why would you pick an average Joe like me? Maybe you’re overworked and it’s affecting your judgment...? I know a good park where you could go to unwind, if that’s the case." - Larry''</ref> His core belief is "Simplicity is Strongest" as he sees no need to overcomplicate things in life.<ref>''"People, Pokémon... There's no need to overcomplicate things."''

''"Nowadays people only seem to want a shock factor. Something weird, something bizarre."''

''"At the end of the day, though, nothing beats the relief of coming home, even after a fun vacation."''

''"When all's said and done, simplicity is strongest." - Larry''</ref> Larry intentionally hides his face in his Gym Leader profile picture because he wants to maintain a low profile and avoid the risk of attracting crowds.<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Iono]] from [[The Indigo Disk]]:

''"Yo, Larry! How come you don't face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?" - Iono''

''"I prefer to keep a low profile..."'' ''"If people knew my face, I'd run the risk of drawing crowds. That'd make it hard to get into restaurants-or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry''

''"Hwhaaa! Hold up, back up! You DON'T want people to recognize you?"'' ''"Wait-that's not even the most bonkeriest part! How'd you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!"'' ''- Iono''

''"Oh, that's just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose..." - Larry''

''"Daaang. You're adulting like a pro, Larry."'' ''-'' ''Iono''</ref> Larry is noted to be very quiet, which results in [[Hassel]] to be unable to hear him from afar.<ref>''"Uh... Don't think he heard you, Larry." "Larry, you...you may need to speak up just a little bit more." - [[Rika]]''

''"I think the real problem with the Elite Trial is that [[Hassel]] is the one after me. [[Rika]] or [[Poppy]] would hear me just fine, even if I didn’t shout." - Larry''</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Larry states that he is simultaneously a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member because the Paldean League is short-staffed.<ref>Kabu: ''Larry, is it true that you work double duty as a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member?''

Larry: ''Yes. We're short-staffed...''

[[Middle-Aged Opposites]]</ref>

He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image, he is also fond of Normal-type Pokémon.<ref>''"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill...I'm pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I'm about as ordinary as you can get." - Larry''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me." - Larry''</ref> In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.<ref>''"I serve as a member of the [[Elite Four]] too, yes...Unfortunately for me."''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."''

''"But, well, the boss told me to use a different [[type]] here."''

''- Larry''</ref> During the Gym battle rematch, Larry is shown to understand why Geeta made him use Flying-type Pokémon as an Elite Four member. Larry acknowledges the benefits of using Flying-type Pokémon by telling the player character that, "There's scenery you'll never even notice if you stick to flat, well-trodden paths. It'll do me good to admire talent that soars as high as yours from time to time."

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the [[Treasure Eatery]] of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles. After being defeated in the Gym battle, Larry treats the player character to food. In [[The Indigo Disk]], Larry reveals that he also enjoys going on business trips.<ref>''"Calling me all the way out to another region... Is a certain [[Geeta|chairwoman]] rubbing off on you?"''

''"Actually, don’t worry about it. To be honest, I don’t mind these little business trips."''

''"I know I’m here for work, but I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it." - Larry''</ref>

====The Indigo Disk====
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. When challenged to a [[rematch]], he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.

Larry may converse with other Trainers present in the [[League Club Room]].

===Pokémon===
As a Gym Leader, Larry's team consists of {{t|Normal}} types, while he uses {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member. In the rematch with him at the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], his team will be made up of both Normal and Flying types. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Staraptor}}.

====Gym battle====
Larry will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Staraptor}} at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Larry debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', where he was seen eating at the [[Treasure Eatery]] while [[Friede]] met with [[Lucca]] there.

He physically debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where he and the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watched [[Liko]]'s battle against [[Ann]] at [[Naranja Academy]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Larry battled [[Coral]] and [[Kofu]] as part of the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], only for Coral to have her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, knocking out all of their Pokémon and leaving Larry the winner by default.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Larry was assigned as [[Dot]]'s next challenge for the [[Tera Training]] course.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Larry appeared during the reopening of the new menu at [[Anything Goes Café]]. After the meal, he left without attracting much attention, but was noticed by Dot when he left.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Larry was Dot's opponent for her second Terastal battle, where he used both his {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Dudunsparce}} against Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}. Even after Dot's Quaxly evolved into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and put up a great fight by {{Tera}}stallizing, Larry was still able to win by Terastallizing his Staraptor in turn and exploiting Quaxwell's paralysis. Despite her loss, Larry still approved Dot for her opportunistic use of Terastallization. Afterwards, when Dot and her friends ate some [[rice ball]]s at the Treasure Eatery, Larry was forced to pay their bill, much to his dismay.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Larry was seen talking with [[Geeta]] and [[Ryme]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] taking place. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Larry watched Liko and Roy's battle with Ryme in the audience. After the tournament, Larry exchanged nods with Dot before leaving.

Larry appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Larry appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Larry watched Liko, [[Roy]], and Dot's battle against Geeta along with the others present.

In [[HZ127]], Larry refereed Roy and {{an|Nemona}}'s training battle alongside [[Captain Pikachu]].
{{-}}

====Character====
Larry has a very brooding, serious, stoic and calm personality, rarely showing much emotions both in and out of battling. He prefers the simple things in life, including simple but delicious foods. This simple, stoic and calm nature befits him as a Normal-type user, and he even tells his opponents not to underestimate Normal-type Pokémon in battle. Regarding food, Larry is a massive foodie much like in the video games. He loves going to various restaurants to eat and has a hearty appetite, Larry is also shown to be highly respected in his hometown. He is also generous enough to treat other people for a meal, like with Liko, Roy and Dot, though he was dismayed upon having to pay the whole bill.

In battle, Larry is calm and focused as ever, calmly analyzing his opponents movements and not giving their Pokémon much time to recover, capitalizing on opportunities and status conditions to exploit his opponent's weaknesses. His strength is shown simply by being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member at the same time, just like in the video games. Larry is humble in victory and even passed Dot for her battle tactics and improved skills despite her losing, showcasing his judge of a person's skills.
{{-}}

====Pokémon====
Similar to the games, Larry uses two completely different teams of Pokémon, one team for challenges as a Gym Leader and another for battles as an Elite Four member.

This listing is of Larry's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:
=====As a Gym Leader=====

Despite receiving major damage from Dot's newly evolved {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, it was still able to defeat him after {{Tera}}stallizing while Quaxwell was immobilized by {{status|paralysis}}.

Staraptor's known moves are {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, and {{m|Facade}}.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Larry Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Larry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Larry debuted in [[PASV17]]. He was first seen at the [[Treasure Eatery]], grabbing a [[Rotom Phone]] [[Penny]] left behind when she left the building. He went outside to return it, only to find Penny surrounded by a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The Grunts used their Pokémon to attack Larry, but were easily defeated, giving Penny to opportunity to flee.

In [[PASV19]], {{Violet}} and {{adv|Arven}} went to have lunch at the Treasure Eatery, only to find the building closed. The employees explained that a co-worker went missing while passing through [[Asado Desert]] to buy ingredients at [[Porto Marinada]]. Assuming this was the work of the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}, Violet and Arven promised to find the employee. They were stopped by Larry, who noted that he heard rumors about Violet and Arven's accomplishments in taking down the various Titans and wished to test their skills as Trainers. After being forced to register at the [[Medali Gym]], Violet and Larry faced each other in a Gym battle at the Treasure Eatery. Violet eventually emerged victorious after taking out Larry's {{Terastal}}lized {{p|Staraptor}}. Accepting his loss, Larry recognized that Violet and Arven were truly as strong as the rumors suggested and allowed them to go face the Titan.

In [[PASV21]], Larry was confronted by his fellow [[Elite Four]] members and [[Geeta]], the Top Champion. Geeta explained that they came to investigate a report to the {{pal|Pokémon League}} claiming Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, but quickly dismissed it as false. Larry told the others that the Trainers he supposedly attacked were members of Team Star and that they were harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. Geeta expressed worry that a number of problems recently started appearing, including a false student that managed to sneak their way into the academy. After a brief discussion on what they each knew about the false student, it was determined the false student was actually a girl named [[Scarlet Koito]].

In [[PASV23]], {{adv|Nemona}} was called by Geeta to have a meeting with the Pokémon League members at the Medali Gym. Once she arrived, Larry and the others began questioning Nemona on what she knew about Scarlet. After finishing their discussion and Nemona left, Geeta decided to have the [[Gym Leader]]s determine if Scarlet was trustworthy by monitoring her, much to Larry's annoyance.

====Pokémon====
{{TrainerPoké

|pkmn=Komala

|img=Larry Komala Adventures.png
|epnum=PASV20
|epname=
|desc={{p|Komala}} is Larry's first known Pokémon. It was first used to prevent {{Violet}} from escaping his battle with Larry by hitting {{ga|Miraidon}} with its saliva, instantly making it fall asleep. Later, it was used to battle against {{Violet}}'s {{p|Lokix}} but lost.

None of Komala's moves are known.}}

Later, it was Larry's third choice in his battle with Violet. Despite being [[Terastal]]lized to remove its weakness to {{type|Rock}} moves, Staraptor fell after Violet turned his {{p|Clodsire}} into a Rock-type to make its {{m|Rock Slide}} stronger.

None of Staraptor's moves are known.}}

Dudunsparce put Smoliv to sleep, only for it to retaliate with a {{m|Sleep Talk}}-{{m|Flail}} combination, knocking Dudunsparce out.

Dudunsparce's known moves are {{m|Hyper Drill}} and {{m|Take Down}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|非凡サラリーマン|Extraordinary Salaryman}}.
* As both a [[Gym Leader]] and an [[Elite Four]] member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same [[Pokémon League]] simultaneously.
* Larry's specialization in {{t|Flying}} types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
** Him specializing in both {{t|Normal}} and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is [[List of type combinations by abundance|the most common type combination]] amongst dual-type Pokémon.
* Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader in the core series to:
** {{Tera}}stallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
** Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
** Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
* During the Champion Assessment, Larry's {{p|Altaria}} does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves that match the specialty type of its Trainer.
* During his Gym battle, Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}} is female, but during the [[rematch]], it is male.
* During the battle at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Larry's team uses a mixture of both Normal and Flying types.
* In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Larry's {{p|Staraptor}} shares three of the same Flying-type moves with [[Lucius's Moltres]]: {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Air Slash}}.
* In the [[PPW04|fourth episode]] of [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], [[Iono]] confirms that Larry has been part of the Pokémon League for 25 years.

'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''アオキ''' ''Aoki'') is a businessman who works for the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s [[Pokémon League]], where he serves as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Medali]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Medali Gym]], and a member of Paldea's [[Elite Four]]. Preferring to [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which as a Gym Leader, he also specialize in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as an Elite Four member.

==In the core series games==

===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a tall, middle-aged man of average build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones and eyebags, grayish-black eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square black eyebrows and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it. Larry also has a pretty poor posture as shown by his slouched back.

Larry wears a somewhat worn-out light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. Beneath his suit is a grayish-blue long-sleeve button-downed shirt and a light blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member.

As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them. He only wears his gloves when working as an Elite Four member.

Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.

===Challenging the Medali Gym===
Medali Gym Leader: Larry

(AKA the Exceptional Everyman)

"This Normal-type user is the middle of the pack when it comes to Gym Leaders. He has a day job helping run the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where he is not the best rated worker. He loves to eat."

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

Larry is a serious, professional, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. In [[The Indigo Disk]], it is revealed through his conversation with [[Ryme]], that Larry was contracted for the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]].<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Ryme]] in [[The Indigo Disk]]. ''"Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]]." - Larry''

''"Oh, Yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too! That new battle court's pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted. My [[Tyme|sister]] loved her old rocky court, but my {{p|Houndstone}} couldn't burrow into that!" - Ryme''</ref> He mentions that he is strictly told to cut down on his overtime hours.<ref>''"In any case, I've been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I'll call it a day." - Larry''</ref> He sees being a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member as a part of his workload. He is not passionate about his day job and [[Pokémon]] battling. Larry is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> He is shown to be able to sleep while standing up.<ref>Larry's conversation with Hassel in The Indigo Disk shows him sleeping while standing up.

''"Well, I was asleep, just now actually." - Larry''

</ref>

Larry sees himself as an average, ordinary person; if the player chooses him as their favorite Gym Leader after they complete the Gym assessments, he questions their choice.<ref>''"[[Geeta|The boss]] contacted me the other day... She said you’d given my name when asked about your favorite Gym Leader. I really don’t understand your choice. Why would you pick an average Joe like me? Maybe you’re overworked and it’s affecting your judgment...? I know a good park where you could go to unwind, if that’s the case." - Larry''</ref> His core belief is "Simplicity is Strongest" as he sees no need to overcomplicate things in life.<ref>''"People, Pokémon... There's no need to overcomplicate things."''

''"Nowadays people only seem to want a shock factor. Something weird, something bizarre."''

''"At the end of the day, though, nothing beats the relief of coming home, even after a fun vacation."''

''"When all's said and done, simplicity is strongest." - Larry''</ref> Larry intentionally hides his face in his Gym Leader profile picture because he wants to maintain a low profile and avoid the risk of attracting crowds.<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Iono]] from [[The Indigo Disk]]:

''"Yo, Larry! How come you don't face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?" - Iono''

''"I prefer to keep a low profile..."'' ''"If people knew my face, I'd run the risk of drawing crowds. That'd make it hard to get into restaurants-or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry''

''"Hwhaaa! Hold up, back up! You DON'T want people to recognize you?"'' ''"Wait-that's not even the most bonkeriest part! How'd you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!"'' ''- Iono''

''"Oh, that's just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose..." - Larry''

''"Daaang. You're adulting like a pro, Larry."'' ''-'' ''Iono''</ref> Larry is noted to be very quiet, which results in [[Hassel]] to be unable to hear him from afar.<ref>''"Uh... Don't think he heard you, Larry." "Larry, you...you may need to speak up just a little bit more." - [[Rika]]''

''"I think the real problem with the Elite Trial is that [[Hassel]] is the one after me. [[Rika]] or [[Poppy]] would hear me just fine, even if I didn’t shout." - Larry''</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], Larry states that he is simultaneously a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member because the Paldean League is short-staffed.<ref>Kabu: ''Larry, is it true that you work double duty as a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member?''

Larry: ''Yes. We're short-staffed...''

[[Middle-Aged Opposites]]</ref>

He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image, he is also fond of Normal-type Pokémon.<ref>''"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill...I'm pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I'm about as ordinary as you can get." - Larry''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me." - Larry''</ref> In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.<ref>''"I serve as a member of the [[Elite Four]] too, yes...Unfortunately for me."''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."''

''"But, well, the boss told me to use a different [[type]] here."''

''- Larry''</ref> During the Gym battle rematch, Larry is shown to understand why Geeta made him use Flying-type Pokémon as an Elite Four member. Larry acknowledges the benefits of using Flying-type Pokémon by telling the player character that, "There's scenery you'll never even notice if you stick to flat, well-trodden paths. It'll do me good to admire talent that soars as high as yours from time to time."

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the [[Treasure Eatery]] of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles. After being defeated in the Gym battle, Larry treats the player character to food. In [[The Indigo Disk]], Larry reveals that he also enjoys going on business trips.<ref>''"Calling me all the way out to another region... Is a certain [[Geeta|chairwoman]] rubbing off on you?"''

''"Actually, don’t worry about it. To be honest, I don’t mind these little business trips."''

''"I know I’m here for work, but I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it." - Larry''</ref>

====The Indigo Disk====
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. When challenged to a [[rematch]], he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.

Larry may converse with other Trainers present in the [[League Club Room]].

===Pokémon===
As a Gym Leader, Larry's team consists of {{t|Normal}} types, while he uses {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member. In the rematch with him at the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], his team will be made up of both Normal and Flying types. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Staraptor}}.

====Gym battle====
Larry will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Staraptor}} at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Larry debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', where he was seen eating at the [[Treasure Eatery]] while [[Friede]] met with [[Lucca]] there.

He physically debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where he and the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watched [[Liko]]'s battle against [[Ann]] at [[Naranja Academy]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Larry battled [[Coral]] and [[Kofu]] as part of the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], only for Coral to have her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, knocking out all of their Pokémon and leaving Larry the winner by default.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Larry was assigned as [[Dot]]'s next challenge for the [[Tera Training]] course.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Larry appeared during the reopening of the new menu at [[Anything Goes Café]]. After the meal, he left without attracting much attention, but was noticed by Dot when he left.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Larry was Dot's opponent for her second Terastal battle, where he used both his {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Dudunsparce}} against Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}. Even after Dot's Quaxly evolved into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and put up a great fight by {{Tera}}stallizing, Larry was still able to win by Terastallizing his Staraptor in turn and exploiting Quaxwell's paralysis. Despite her loss, Larry still approved Dot for her opportunistic use of Terastallization. Afterwards, when Dot and her friends ate some [[rice ball]]s at the Treasure Eatery, Larry was forced to pay their bill, much to his dismay.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Larry was seen talking with [[Geeta]] and [[Ryme]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] taking place. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Larry watched Liko and Roy's battle with Ryme in the audience. After the tournament, Larry exchanged nods with Dot before leaving.

Larry appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Larry appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Larry watched Liko, [[Roy]], and Dot's battle against Geeta along with the others present.

In [[HZ127]], Larry refereed Roy and {{an|Nemona}}'s training battle alongside [[Captain Pikachu]].

====Character====
Larry has a very brooding, serious, stoic and calm personality, rarely showing much emotions both in and out of battling. He prefers the simple things in life, including simple but delicious foods. This simple, stoic and calm nature befits him as a Normal-type user, and he even tells his opponents not to underestimate Normal-type Pokémon in battle. Regarding food, Larry is a massive foodie much like in the video games. He loves going to various restaurants to eat and has a hearty appetite, Larry is also shown to be highly respected in his hometown. He is also generous enough to treat other people for a meal, like with Liko, Roy and Dot, though he was dismayed upon having to pay the whole bill.

In battle, Larry is calm and focused as ever, calmly analyzing his opponents movements and not giving their Pokémon much time to recover, capitalizing on opportunities and status conditions to exploit his opponent's weaknesses. His strength is shown simply by being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member at the same time, just like in the video games. Larry is humble in victory and even passed Dot for her battle tactics and improved skills despite her losing, showcasing his judge of a person's skills.
{{-}}

====Pokémon====
Similar to the games, Larry uses two completely different teams of Pokémon, one team for challenges as a Gym Leader and another for battles as an Elite Four member.

This listing is of Larry's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:
=====As a Gym Leader=====

It then battled Tinkatink before being recalled in favor of Staraptor after their attacks seemed evenly matched.

Despite receiving major damage from Dot's newly evolved {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, it was still able to defeat him after {{Tera}}stallizing while Quaxwell was immobilized by {{status|paralysis}}.

Staraptor's known moves are {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, {{m|Air Slash}}, and {{m|Facade}}.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Larry Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Larry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Larry debuted in [[PASV17]]. He was first seen at the [[Treasure Eatery]], grabbing a [[Rotom Phone]] [[Penny]] left behind when she left the building. He went outside to return it, only to find Penny surrounded by a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The Grunts used their Pokémon to attack Larry, but were easily defeated, giving Penny to opportunity to flee.

In [[PASV19]], {{Violet}} and {{adv|Arven}} went to have lunch at the Treasure Eatery, only to find the building closed. The employees explained that a co-worker went missing while passing through [[Asado Desert]] to buy ingredients at [[Porto Marinada]]. Assuming this was the work of the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}, Violet and Arven promised to find the employee. They were stopped by Larry, who noted that he heard rumors about Violet and Arven's accomplishments in taking down the various Titans and wished to test their skills as Trainers. After being forced to register at the [[Medali Gym]], Violet and Larry faced each other in a Gym battle at the Treasure Eatery. Violet eventually emerged victorious after taking out Larry's {{Terastal}}lized {{p|Staraptor}}. Accepting his loss, Larry recognized that Violet and Arven were truly as strong as the rumors suggested and allowed them to go face the Titan.

In [[PASV21]], Larry was confronted by his fellow [[Elite Four]] members and [[Geeta]], the Top Champion. Geeta explained that they came to investigate a report to the {{pal|Pokémon League}} claiming Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, but quickly dismissed it as false. Larry told the others that the Trainers he supposedly attacked were members of Team Star and that they were harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. Geeta expressed worry that a number of problems recently started appearing, including a false student that managed to sneak their way into the academy. After a brief discussion on what they each knew about the false student, it was determined the false student was actually a girl named [[Scarlet Koito]].

In [[PASV23]], {{adv|Nemona}} was called by Geeta to have a meeting with the Pokémon League members at the Medali Gym. Once she arrived, Larry and the others began questioning Nemona on what she knew about Scarlet. After finishing their discussion and Nemona left, Geeta decided to have the [[Gym Leader]]s determine if Scarlet was trustworthy by monitoring her, much to Larry's annoyance.

None of Staraptor's moves are known.}}

Dudunsparce put Smoliv to sleep, only for it to retaliate with a {{m|Sleep Talk}}-{{m|Flail}} combination, knocking Dudunsparce out.

Dudunsparce's known moves are {{m|Hyper Drill}} and {{m|Take Down}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|非凡サラリーマン|Extraordinary Salaryman}}.
* As both a [[Gym Leader]] and an [[Elite Four]] member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same [[Pokémon League]] simultaneously.
* Larry's specialization in {{t|Flying}} types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
** Him specializing in both {{t|Normal}} and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is [[List of type combinations by abundance|the most common type combination]] amongst dual-type Pokémon.
* Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader in the core series to:
** {{Tera}}stallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
** Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
** Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
* During the Champion Assessment, Larry's {{p|Altaria}} does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves that match the specialty type of its Trainer.
* During his Gym battle, Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}} is female, but during the [[rematch]], it is male.
* During the battle at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Larry's team uses a mixture of both Normal and Flying types.
* In {{aniseries|HZ}}, Larry's {{p|Staraptor}} shares three of the same Flying-type moves with [[Lucius's Moltres]]: {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Air Slash}}.
* In the [[PPW04|fourth episode]] of [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], [[Iono]] confirms that Larry has been part of the Pokémon League for 25 years.

Hassel

2026-06-18T04:41:12Z

KyleRGiggs: When I look for the League Club Room, I was just thinking, what should be the priority for Hassel and Larry, comparing those Instructor trainer class, this should be the priority.

'''Hassel''' (Japanese: '''ハッサク''' ''Hassaku'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. He serves as the art teacher at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and a member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Appearance==
Hassel is a male human with fair skin, blonde hair, faded gold eyes, and an average build. His attire features a white dress shirt with a red tie, a vest in satin black and red, a cadmium green coat where the rear sort of acts like a mini-cape, gray pants, and polished satin black dress shoes with red diamond shaped markings.

==In the core series games==
Hassel is a descendant of a long line of Dragon-type Trainers in an unnamed faraway region. He ran away from home as a youth to pursue a dream of "making music", before becoming a member of the Elite Four in the Paldea region as well as an art instructor at the academy. Hassel is shown to be friendly, but very emotional, as he bursts into tears of joy when defeated by the player. He is an old friend of Gym Leader [[Brassius]] of [[Artazon]].

During his bond story, a {{tc|Dragon Tamer}} arrives at the academy to get Hassel back home, claiming his father, the head of the family, is feeling ill, and Hassel should be taking his place as the head of the family. Through interactions with the {{player}}, Hassel gains the confidence to confront the Dragon Tamer, realizing her words about his father's deteriorating health were lies in another attempt to get him to come home and swearing to stay at the academy to teach.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Hassel can be invited to [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. A conversation between him and [[Drayton]] reveals that Hassel knows his grandfather, [[Drayden]].

===Pokémon===
Hassel will {{Tera}}stallize his {{p|Baxcalibur}} at the first opportunity.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Hassel made his first appearance alongside [[Rika]] in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'' when welcoming [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] to [[Naranja Academy]]. Later, Hassel appeared with the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watching Liko's battle against [[Ann]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Hassel and {{an|Nemona}} helped with some details of the annual [[Artazon Art Festival]], during the event, he discovered that Liko is [[Alex]]'s daughter. After taking Liko, Roy and Dot to meet with [[Brassius]], Hassel evaluated the works of art constructed by his students and then watched Roy's {{Tera}}stal battle against Brassius.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Hassel took part in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against Roy and Brassius during the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], eventually winning the battle with his Baxcalibur and Flapple. Hassel then cried tears of joy upon seeing Roy's motivation to get stronger.

In ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', Hassel and Brassius watched Roy's battle against Liko, Hassel praised Roy for his improved battling skills and was crying tears of joy when he won the match.

Hassel appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Hassel appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Hassel served as a [[judge]] for the battle between Liko, Roy and Dot against [[Geeta]] and after the battle ended, he began to cry in emotion.

Hassel appeared in a fantasy in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', while Liko, Roy, and Dot were talking about {{type|Dragon}} Trainers.

Hassel was mentioned in ''[[HZ116|Terarium Training!]]'', where [[Cyrano]] revealed that Hassel is a great friend of [[Drayden]].

In [[HZ127]], Hassel battled against [[Ult]], using his Baxcalibur to battle against Ult's {{p|Dragonite}}. After a tough battle, Hassel emerged victorious. Earlier on, Hassel seemed to be familiar with Ult's Dragonite, suggesting that he knew Ult's father, {{OBP|Salt|Horizons}}.

====Character====
In the past, Hassel mentored Brassius during his times of insecurity with art. Hassel has a gentle personality, but also has a tendency to get overly emotional and cry with tears of joy upon admiring another person's character and progress. He is also very proud and caring of his students as a teacher and encourages them whenever they make any form of progress.

===Pokémon Adventures===
Hassel debuted in ''[[PASV02|Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!]]''. He and several other teachers were called to an emergency meeting by [[Clavell]] to discuss {{Violet}}, a new student that caused trouble during the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. Clavell informed the others of Violet's backstory and explained his behavior.

In ''[[PASV10|Evolve! The Second Fire Evolution!!]]'', in order to help {{Scarlet}} on her quest to obtain the [[treasures of ruin]], [[Brassius]] revealed that Hassel once asked him if he knew about the Ruinous Pokémon. Although he knew nothing about the subject, Brassius's information did help Scarlet figure out the treasures of ruin referred to a group of Pokémon.

In [[PASV21]], Hassel, along with [[Poppy]], [[Rika]], and [[Geeta]], appeared outside the [[Treasure Eatery]] to greet [[Larry]]. Geeta explained that everyone came to investigate a report the {{pal|Pokémon League}} received claiming that Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, though noted it was likely false. Larry clarified the Trainers he fought were [[Team Star]] members harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. When Geeta mentioned a fake student hired by [[Raifort]] to look for the treasures of ruin, Rika remembered seeing her with Scarlet previously and concluded that the latter was the fake student in question.

In [[PASV23]], {{adv|Nemona}} was called by Geeta to have a meeting with the Pokémon League members at the [[Medali Gym]]. Once she arrived, Hassel and the others began questioning Nemona on what she knew about Scarlet. After finishing their discussion and Nemona left, Geeta decided to have the [[Gym Leader]]s determine if Scarlet was trustworthy by monitoring her.

==In the TCG==
[[File:HasselTwilightMasquerade205.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Hassel]]
{{main|Hassel (Twilight Masquerade 151)}}
'''Hassel''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Transformation Mask}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Twilight Masquerade}} expansion, with artwork by [[GOSSAN]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. This card can only be used if any of the player's Pokémon were Knocked Out during their opponent's last turn. It lets the player look at the top 8 cards of their deck and choose up to 3 of them to put into their hand. The other cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The back vent on Hassel's coat could be in reference to the capes worn by {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s, whom Hassel has a history with, being a Dragon-type Trainer himself.
** It might also be a nod to [[Clair]] and her design in [[Generation II]] due to how her cape resembles part of a suit.
* Prior to the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], Hassel was the only Paldean Elite Four member that could be rebattled indefinitely.
* Hassel is left-handed, as shown when he throws his {{i|Poké Ball}}s and in his official concept art painting a portrait of an {{p|Applin}}.
* Hassel is also the only Trainer to use a Pokémon that is still capable of evolving in their [[League Club Room]] team, as {{p|Duraludon}} can evolve into {{p|Archaludon}}, while {{p|Ursaring}}, which is used by [[Katy]], cannot evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In [[HZ135]], Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process, until Coral sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the {{pkmn|category|Intertwining Pokémon}}'s place. However, Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Captain Pikachu subsequently teamed up with his friends to take down the Laquium Core. In the [[HZ136|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined his friends in helping Pagogo erase the Laquium Core for good after the Black Rayquaza and [[White Zygarde]] used Mega Evolution to make an opening for them to do so. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In [[HZ135]], Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon made an attempt to purify the Laquium Core, but the Explorers interfered, losing Penny's {{p|Sylveon}} in the process, until Coral sent out her {{p|Scream Tail}}, nicknamed Screamypuff, to take the {{pkmn|category|Intertwining Pokémon}}'s place. However, Captain Pikachu and the rest of the Tera Type Pokémon couldn't erase the Laquium Core before Spinel merged with it, awakening it. Captain Pikachu subsequently teamed up with his friends to take down the Laquium Core. In the [[HZ136|next episode]], Captain Pikachu joined his friends in helping Pagogo erase the Laquium Core for good after the Black Rayquaza and [[White Zygarde]] used Mega Evolution to make an opening for them to do so. 

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

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

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

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

The '''White Zygarde''' (Japanese: '''白いジガルデ''' ''White Zygarde''), formerly known as '''Gibeon's Zygarde''' (Japanese: '''ギベオンのジガルデ''' ''Gibeon's Zygarde'') and '''Amethio's Zygarde''' (Japanese: '''アメジオのジガルデ''' ''Amethio's Zygarde''), is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] featured prominently in {{aniseries|HZ}}. It is [[Gibeon]]'s only known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[Amethio]]'s third known Pokémon. It is a [[Shiny Pokémon]] and is seen most of the time outside its {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==History==
[[File:Gibeon Poké Ball.png|250px|thumb|left|Zygarde's special [[Poké Ball]] while under the ownership of [[Gibeon]]]]
===Pre-series===
=====With Gibeon=====
At some point prior to {{aniseries|HZ}}, Zygarde met and started accompanying [[Gibeon]] as his partner due to their shared wish to bring happiness to Pokémon and people. 100 years prior to the events of the series, the White Zygarde, in its {{form|Zygarde|50% Forme}}, traveled alongside its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Gibeon, on his journey to find the Pokémon paradise [[Laqua]]. One day, they came across two adventurers who shared the same goal, [[Lucius]] and [[Rystal]], and they then started journeying together towards Laqua.

Finally having reached Laqua, the [[Explorers]] found themselves in trouble after Gibeon meddle with the [[Laquium]] crystals found in the paradise. Zygarde, who initially was the one who dug up the crystals on Gibeon's orders, soon intervened, sensing the impending unbalance if no actions were to be taken. It sacrificed most of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] in order to contain the crystals, reverting to its {{form|Zygarde|10% Forme}} in the process, but it still wasn't enough, as the Laquium generated an explosion that shook the terrain, causing a rift to form underneath Gibeon, who fell into it. The situation was only cleared up after Rystal's {{p|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]] transformed into its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} and gave some of its energy to Lucius's [[Party|team]], the [[Six Heroes]], allowing them to seal the Laquium in a giant barrier. As a result of this, Lucius was trapped in Laqua, Pagogo reverted into its dormant state, and the Six Heroes were scattered around the world. Gibeon managed to survive his fall thanks to the Laquium shard he had and eventually managed to leave Laqua alongside his Zygarde in the aftermath, starting to live in [[Pericarp Town]].
[[File:Gibeon and White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|250px|thumb|Zygarde and [[Gibeon]]]]
For the next 100 years, it had been observing Laqua and the rest of the world through its Cells, considering the Laquium to be dangerous as it kept expanding over Laqua. Zygarde also left one Cell in the care of [[Hamber]], which [[Amethio]] speculated was a sign of Gibeon's trust in him. As revealed during a flashback in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Lucius also was awakened by the voice of Zygarde, who told him everything it had found out about Laquium.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
At some point after the [[Black Rayquaza]] was released from its [[Ancient Poké Ball]] in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Zygarde sent it a message for it to find a worthy Trainer to inherit Pagogo and the Six Heroes so they could stop Gibeon and destroy the Laquium in the future.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ088.png|170px|thumb|left|Zygarde testing the will of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Amethio]]]]
The White Zygarde, in its 10% Forme, debuted at the very end of ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', where it was seen alongside Gibeon in his personal chamber. It briefly appeared again in ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', being seen next to Gibeon during his meeting with [[Hamber]] and [[Amethio]]. In ''[[HZ083|The Truth Revealed!]]'', Hamber revealed to Amethio, [[Zirc]], and [[Onia]] one of Zygarde's Cells in his possession, believing it had taken a liking to him, which Amethio interpreted as a sign of Gibeon's trust.

In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Zygarde and Gibeon arrived in Laqua and started heading to where the Laquium was located, which they reached at the end of the episode. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Zygarde reunited with its lost Cells and reclaimed its 50% Forme. With its restored power, it dug up a cluster of Laquium, but while Gibeon thought it was doing this in order to accomplish his goals, Zygarde was actually freeing Lucius from his imprisonment. After the truth about the past 100 years was revealed, Gibeon begged Zygarde to fight alongside him and put a stop to his opponents' actions, which it seemingly obliged, much to the others' surprise.
[[File:Hamber Zygarde Cube HZ092.png|250px|thumb|right|[[Hamber]]'s [[Zygarde Cell]] joins [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] in their [[Zygarde Cube]]]]
In ''[[HZ088|The Earthshaking White Zygarde]]'', Zygarde battled against [[Liko]]'s {{tp|Liko|Floragato}}, [[Roy]]'s {{tp|Roy|Crocalor}}, [[Dot]]'s {{tp|Dot|Quaxwell}}, and Amethio's {{tp|Amethio|Ceruledge}}, all of whom had {{Tera}}stallized. It proved to be very powerful, managing to not be hit for most of the battle despite being at a numerical disadvantage. However, after witnessing its {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, [[Dot]] was able to identify a moment of weakness they could take advantage of, as Zygarde needed some time in order to return the Cells it fired during the attack. Despite this, Zygarde was still able to overpower them at the end, leaving only Floragato and Ceruledge barely standing. As it was about to finish them off along with [[Pagogo]] with a {{m|Core Enforcer}}, Floragato took on [[Liko]]'s encouragement and pushed herself into [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Meowscarada}}. This allowed for a last minute counterattack, with Ceruledge creating an opening for Meowscarada to strike, until her newly learned {{m|Flower Trick}} managed to knock Zygarde down. At this moment, Zygarde forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of the Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio all along before disassembling into Cells and disappearing into the ground, abandoning Gibeon sadly due to his actions.

One year later, in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', Hamber tasked Zirc and Onia with finding Amethio's whereabouts, giving them a [[Zygarde Cube]] to help in their task. In the brief demonstration, the Zygarde Cell he was taking care of went inside it, and he explained that both the Cell and the Cube would help locate the larger Zygarde mass, who would presumably know where Amethio went without letting the new Explorers leader [[Spinel]] know their activities. In ''[[HZ104|Charcadet's Wish]]'', the Zygarde Cube was given to Amethio, who vowed to defeat Spinel.

=====With Amethio=====
[[File:Amethio and White Zygarde 10 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|left|Zygarde and Amethio]]
In ''[[HZ111|Better, Farther, Stronger!]]'', Amethio was shown to have located at least 10% of Zygarde's other Cells scattered around the world. It arrived in its 10% Forme alongside Amethio just in time to save Liko, Roy, and [[Ult]] from the Explorers-controlled Six Heroes. Afterwards, Amethio had Zygarde battle [[Coral]]'s {{p|Glalie}} and [[Sidian]]'s {{p|Garganacl}} on its own accord. After a grueling battle, however, Zygarde was defeated after Glalie and Garganacl proved too much for it to handle in its current Forme, as they were under the effects of the [[Strong Sphere]]. After the Explorers retreated, Zygarde joined Amethio, Hamber, and [[Cervantis]] in embarking on a journey to find more of Zygarde's Cells and become strong enough to bring Spinel down once and for all.
[[File:White Zygarde Power Construct.png|250px|thumb|right|{{a|Power Construct}} activated]]
In [[HZ125]], Amethio was revealed to have caught Zygarde, which had gathered enough of its Cells to turn into its 50% Forme. It battled [[Lucius's Lapras]], who was under the control of [[Indi]] and the effect of the [[Strong Sphere|Super Strong Sphere]]. It used Thousand Arrows to allow itself to change into its 10% Forme, and subsequently defeated Lapras with a single Core Enforcer. Later, it gathered its Cells that were frozen by Lapras's {{m|Ice Beam}} and regained its 50% Forme, before working with Pagogo to show the Six Heroes the memories of their adventures with Lucius, Rystal, Gibeon, and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], helping them fight the [[Laquium]]'s control before Pagogo Terastalized all the remaining Six Heroes to remove the effects of the Laquium completely. After freeing them, they promised Zygarde to come to Laqua when the time comes before going their separate ways to roam the world. With the heroes safe, Amethio returned Zygarde to its {{i|Poké Ball}} and departed, wanting to investigate its powers further.

In [[HZ134]], Amethio called out Zygarde in Laqua to help pacify the Pokémon going berserk due to the Laquium mist unleashed by Spinel. To help pacify some airborne Pokémon that were out of reach, Amethio used the Zygarde Cube to summon the Cells he had collected and the ones Zygarde had left behind at Laqua upon leaving Gibeon, allowing Zygarde to assume its Complete Forme and pacify the flying Pokémon. Once Pagogo had purified the mist, Zygarde turned back into its 10% Forme to have its Cells carry the wounded Pokémon away to safety. In the [[HZ135|next episode]], Zygarde brought all of its Cells back together return to its Complete Forme in order to stop the Laquium Core after Spinel merged with it and activated it.
{{-}}

==Personality and characteristics==
True to its species, the White Zygarde has a desire to protect the ecosystem when it senses danger or threats to it, such as [[Laquium]]. As a result of this, Zygarde will even stand up against its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s orders if it means keeping the ecosystem safe, as seen in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', when it attempted to use 40% of its [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] to contain the Laquium and stop it from spreading and withering the wildlife. After its betrayal, [[Gibeon]] still allowed it to stay by his side, viewing it as his one true companion despite their disagreement and being pleased to see it reunite with these lost Cells. Zygarde's personal loyalty to him, however, had been gravely impared by the incident in [[Laqua]] 100 years ago due to their irreconcilable conflicting visions on Laquium: Gibeon seeing it as a valuable resource and Zygarde seeing it as a looming threat.

Over the course of the series, Zygarde regularly told [[Lucius]] what was happening outside, including about the reformed [[Explorers]] and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] seeking the [[Six Heroes]], while also instructing his [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] and the other Six Heroes to find a worthy successor for themselves and [[Pagogo]] to help them remove the Laquium threat from the world, ultimately making Zygarde the root cause of many encounters between the Six Heroes and the Rising Volt Tacklers throughout the series. After Zygarde freed Lucius in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', Gibeon came to the conclusion that it had feigned loyalty throughout the last century in order to closely monitor his actions, which Lucius believed was only partially true. When Gibeon begged it to fight alongside him as his partner and last remaining friend, Zygarde agreed, an action that caught the Six Heroes by surprise. However, it was later revealed that it wanted to test the strength and resolve of the Rising Volt Tacklers and [[Amethio]]. Zygarde then sadly bid farewell to Gibeon and disassembled itself into its Cells, vanishing into the earth and leaving its former Trainer behind due to his destructive actions.

In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', Lucius reveals that Zygarde became Gibeon's partner because his wish at the time was to bring happiness to Pokémon and people, which Zygarde truly shared. Lucius believes Zygarde had additionally stayed with Gibeon during the last 100 years and joined him in the fight against the Rising Volt Tacklers and Amethio because it had also wanted to convince its partner of his erroneous ways by showing him what true bonds are capable of, something Gibeon had never understood throughout their time together.

==Trivia==
[[File:White Zygarde sparkling.png|thumb|250px|Like Shiny Pokémon in the games, Zygarde sparkles as it exits its Poké Ball]]
* The White Zygarde's known moves consist solely of {{p|Zygarde}}'s [[signature move]]s.
* The White Zygarde's [[Zygarde Cell|Cells]] have a unique coloration to match with Zygarde's {{Shiny}} coloration, a difference that does not exist in any other media.
* Like the [[Black Rayquaza]], the White Zygarde only began to sparkle as it exited its Poké Ball once it was recaught in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, in this case by [[Amethio]] prior to [[HZ125]].
* The White Zygarde was the first Legendary Pokémon that required a [[Mega Stone]] and a {{pkmn|Trainer}} with a [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
At night, [[Roy]] and [[Ult]] are having dinner cooked by [[Emma]]. Afterwards, Ult brings up [[HZ112|their loss against]] the [[Yellow Flash]], with Roy being impressed by the {{pkmn|category|Aura Pokémon}}'s strength. Roy wonders how to defeat it while Ult brings out a [[Dusk Ball]], claiming the Pokémon inside it would've done so easily even though he doesn't know what's inside it. However, Ult believes it will come out once he has proven himself to be the strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and Roy says he has the same dream while pulling out the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]. Emma, meanwhile, plans on making some tea, only for the lights to go out. To restore the power, she calls out her {{p|Ampharos}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] it into Mega Ampharos to use its strong electricity powers, to Ult's annoyance for being over the top. Later, Roy and Emma talk about the former's reason for visiting [[Kalos]], with Ult listening in. When Roy mentions the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], Emma reads an article released by [[Exceed]] about the group being responsible for [[HZ089|the incident on]] [[Mount Pericarp]]. Roy vehemently denies Exceed's claims but solemnly reveals the group had disbanded, and [[Liko|his]] [[Dot|friends]] went back to either [[Indigo Academy|school]] or home. On the other hand, he decided to travel and become stronger, with [[Captain Pikachu]] joining him now that [[Friede]] is gone, to meet the [[Black Rayquaza]] again. While shocked to hear about Rayquaza, Ult decides to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, determined to be the strongest Trainer. Roy is unable to stop him from having the same dream, especially since Rayquaza is now a [[wild Pokémon]], meaning Ult is free to catch it too. At that, Ult becomes motivated to master Mega Evolution again, and Emma becomes surprised at seeing this side of Ult. She then earnestly asks Roy to be friends with Ult, revealing she took in him while he was living on the streets and taught him some things such as reading and writing. Emma admits she was inspired by [[Looker|the man]] who took her in similarly and even followed in his footsteps as a detective. Despite wanting to see Ult find something for himself, he never got along well with Emma, so she hopes Roy would be able to support Ult instead. He agrees to her request belatedly and sets off to find Ult, who is at the [[Lost Mayo Maze]], trying to challenge the Yellow Flash again. He stops Ult from trespassing, and the two leave the place, not noticing the Yellow Flash had been watching the interaction.

The next day, Ult becomes irritated at not being able to Mega Evolve Sableye, believing the [[Mega Ring]] given is not real. Roy reminds him of advice given by [[Master Mayonnaise]], but Ult finds the other man suspicious, which increased when he unexpectedly shows up. Master Mayonnaise correctly deduces the two young Trainers had lost to the Yellow Flash, and he tells them their feelings should be united with their Pokémon if they wish to Mega Evolve. He then suggests a {{pkmn|battle}} to show what he means, and they agree. Ult begins the battle by having Sableye use {{m|Power Gem}} that {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} dodges successfully. Despite the continuous assault by Power Gem, Crocalor manages to evade them all, making Roy praise the Fire Croc Pokémon. Soon, Crocalor charges towards Sableye, who is unable to use Power Gem and gets attacked by the former's {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|supereffective}} {{m|Disarming Voice}}. Sableye tries to use {{m|Throat Chop}} but is unable to, and it is attacked by {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Annoyed, Ult has Sableye attack Crocalor from behind with {{m|Shadow Sneak}}, but the Fire Croc Pokémon, feeling united with Roy, not only avoids the attack with {{m|Flame Charge}}, but also [[Fainting|defeats]] Sableye at the same time.

Ult refuses to admit defeat and attempts to have the Pokémon inside his Dusk Ball come out, but Master Mayonnaise stops him. After healing his Pokémon with a [[Full Restore]], Ult is questioned on whether he trusts Sableye, and he confirms he does. However, Master Mayonnaise reveals that trust did not show itself during the battle as Sableye became exhausted when Ult called for it to constantly use Power Gem, rendering it unable to react accordingly later on. Ult tries to claim Roy wasn't battling him fairly, but Master Mayonnaise counters him with the fact that they battled well because of their trust in each other. He further adds on how Ult has been burdening the Pokémon in the Dusk Ball, which led to it not coming out. Ult reveals he trusts Sableye because it has been by his side. When asked what does he think Sableye feels about Ult as its Trainer, he is unable to answer, causing Master Mayonnaise to declare Ult hasn't been paying attention to the Darkness Pokémon. He concludes by telling Ult to give up Mega Evolution since he lacks the bond needed, leaving the latter frustrated. Just then, the Yellow Flash, who was watching the battle, drops in and gestures for the two Trainers to return to the Lost Mayo Maze for a second chance.

The two boys agree to the challenge and enter the place. However, they must once again get through the confusing layout of the place. Thankfully, Sableye remembers the route they took and everyone follows the Darkness Pokémon as it leads them to the area with the pit. Trusting Sableye, Ult and his Pokémon jump over the pit that the former previously fell into and tear apart the wallpaper of the 'door' that stumped them yesterday. Ult says the maze taught him about how Trainers need to understand their Pokémon, and he wants to learn more about his partner, especially as they battle against the Yellow Flash. Opening the door, Roy and Ult don't find the Yellow Flash waiting, but rather two occupants of the palace – [[Count Hoisin]] and [[Shōyu]].

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ113 Title card.png|thumb|right|250px|Stylized title card for the episode]]
* This is the second episode of the [[Episode: Mega Evolution]] flashback arc. It takes place during the one-year timeskip in ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]''.
* The title text for this episode is shown directly over the background, without a separate title card segment. As such, the title is not read aloud. Since there is no opening theme, the series logo (with the arc subtitle) is shown directly over a shot of the [[Looker Bureau]].
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
* Despite ''[https://www.facebook.com/100003274992808 Wasi Paricharttanakun]'' and ''Wasin Weechaneemart'' working for ''{{r|OLM Thailand}}'' as animation directors, the studio itself was left uncredited in the ending credits for that role and added into the listing for clarification purposes.
* This is the first episode to air in Japan after the release of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
* The {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin and {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese dubs of this episode were released on the Traditional Chinese Pokémon [[YouTube]] channel at 6:30 PM (UTC+8), at the same time the Japanese version was released on the Japanese YouTube channel after its television airing. In the regular episode order, the Taiwanese Mandarin dub was midway through [[Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua|the second season]], while the Hong Kong Cantonese dub was between the [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series (season)|first]] and second seasons.
* The {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} dub of this episode aired on October 21, 2025 (four days after the Japanese airing), before the Mega Voltage arc.
* This episode marks the first mention of [[Looker]] since ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals]],'' 12 years and 596 episodes prior.
** Additionally, this episode marks the first time a recurring character from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' makes an appearance in any capacity during ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', not including [[Nurse Joy]].
* [[Roy]], [[Ult]], {{TP|Ult|Sableye}}, and {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}} narrate the preview for the [[HZ114|next episode]].
* [[Emma]] having a [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Ampharos}} is a reference to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, where Emma after her first battle with the [[player character]] demonstrates Mega Evolution by Mega Evolving her Ampharos.

===Errors===
* When Roy, Ult, and their Pokémon were eating in the Looker Bureau, the first shot shows Crocalor at the table with [[Captain Pikachu|Cap]] and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} on the floor. The next shot, Crocalor and Cap are on the table with Kilowattrel at the table.
* During Roy and Ult's battle, Crocalor was able to dodge Sableye's {{m|Shadow Sneak}} with {{m|Flame Charge}} despite Shadow Sneak's increased priority. 
* After the battle, Ult revived his Sableye with a [[Full Restore]] that [[Master Mayonnaise]] gave him. Full Restores do not revive [[Fainting|fainted]] Pokémon, they only fully heal a Pokémon's HP and cures any status conditions. A [[Revive]] is needed to revive a fainted Pokémon before one can use a Full Restore on them.
* In the original {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese release, the ending animation version focusing on Roy (from the [[HZ112|previous episode]]) was used instead of the version focusing on Ult like in the Japanese version.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqDXExe4004 【廣東話版】寶可夢地平線：特別編〈超級進化篇〉|烏魯特──最強| 寶可夢官方] - [https://www.youtube.com/@PokemonOfficialZh 寶可夢官方 (@PokemonOfficialZh)] on [[YouTube]] {{dead link}}</ref> This was identified as an error, with the original upload being removed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/@PokemonOfficialZh 寶可夢官方 (@PokemonOfficialZh)] on [[YouTube]]: [https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGnl1rDbtdr5-_UB-EbH39Fbk_7DZ5QSa 【致歉】在10月17日寶可夢官方YouTube頻道公開的「【廣東話版】《寶可夢地平線》系列動畫特別篇〈超級進化篇〉第2集」的映像內發現了不當素材，在進行修正期間影片將會暫時無法觀看。對於各位觀眾造成的不便，我們深感抱歉。敬請耐心等候，影片將於修正完成後重新公開，謝謝您的理解與支持。 #寶可夢地平線 #超級進化篇] ([https://archive.ph/lqYr5 archived])</ref> The reupload correctly uses the ending animation version focusing on Ult.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYzf9v1Pq6k 【廣東話版】寶可夢地平線：特別編〈超級進化篇〉|烏魯特──最強| 寶可夢官方] - [https://www.youtube.com/@PokemonOfficialZh 寶可夢官方 (@PokemonOfficialZh)] on [[YouTube]]</ref>

===Dub edits===
*In the Korean dub, clips of Roy and Ult Mega Evolving Lucario and Sableye are used at the very beginning of the episode (before the recap) for an 8-second logo segment.
*In the English and other dubs, the ending theme uses clips from all three variants of the Japanese version. This same version animation is used for the other episodes of the arc, instead of different ones for each episode like in the original.

'''Dot's Gholdengo ''' (Japanese: '''ドットのサーフゴー''' ''Dot's Surfugo'') is the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Dot]] {{pkmn2|caught}} after becoming an official [[Pokémon Trainer]] and her third overall.

==History==
===As a [[wild Pokémon]]===
[[File:Dot and Gimmighoul.png|thumb|250px|left|Gimmighoul joining Dot's [[party|team]]]]
{{p|Gholdengo}} debuted as a {{form|Gimmighoul|Chest Form}} {{p|Gimmighoul}} in ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', where it controlled [[Roy]] at some [[Paldea]]n fort ruins in [[South Province (Area Three)]], making him unknowingly collect [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] and deposit them into its chest. It reappeared in ''[[HZ102|The Knight in the Ruins]]'', a year later, where it did the same, this time to [[Dot]] and [[Ult]] as well, before [[Liko]] appeared and released them from its control. Later, it was shown to have stowed away on the [[Brave Olivine]].

In ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]'', Gimmighoul started to target Dot repeatedly, using its ghost energy to control her to go outdoors despite her not wanting to. After Dot decided to go surfing with her {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}}, Gimmighoul suddenly appeared on her board, but almost drifted away when it went to get one of the coins that fell out of its chest. Fortunately, it was saved by Dot. While surfing, they watched a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Gholdengo}} surf by, and Dot realized that Gimmighoul idolized its evolved form and made other gather coins so it could [[Evolution|evolve]] as well. Wanting to help it make its wish come true, just as she had her own, Dot [[caught]] Gimmighoul, promising to keep on collecting coins.
{{-}}

===With [[Dot]]===
In ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', Gimmighoul followed Dot's {{p|Tinkatuff}} into a scrapyard, where it continued to collect coins. At one point, it slipped and let a coin fall from its chest next to a {{p|Scrafty}}, who then demanded the rest of its coins. Tinkatuff then came to its rescue, scaring the Scrafty off and returning the coins. Later, after Tinkatuff had disappeared from the Brave Olivine, Gimmighoul became worried about her well-being. They soon found her on the ground, attempting to forge a new hammer with {{p|Corviknight}} feathers, accompanied by [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who immediately engaged in battle with Dot. After {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} was defeated and with Tinkatuff occupied, Gimmighoul stood up against the [[Explorers]], though its lack of battling experience quickly led to it getting hurt and spilling some coins. Rather than collecting the coins, however, Gimmighoul picked up a feather and gave it to Tinkatuff, witnessing her evolve into {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}} before driving the Explorers off. Once the battle concluded, Tinkaton picked up the fallen coins and returned them to Gimmighoul.
[[File:Dot and Gholdengo.png|thumb|250px|Gholdengo and Dot]]
In [[HZ117]], Gimmighoul faced off against [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}}, but the battle quickly turned into a back-and-forth of {{m|Astonish}}, exhausting both Trainers, before being called off.

In [[HZ120]], Gimmighoul accompanied Dot and [[Penny]] in infiltrating the [[Exceed]] Museum to gather data on [[Laquium]]. During the group's secret mission, it got distracted looking for the last coin it need to evolve, which led to it getting caught by [[Chalce]], [[Indi]], and [[Rubina]]. While Dot and Penny initially held their own against the Explorers, things turned bad once Gimmighoul was kidnapped by Chalce's {{p|Xatu}}, forcing Dot to try and rescue it. As Dot's Quaxwell and Tinkaton struggled against Chalce's new battle tactics, Gimmighoul pointed towards a coin it spotted in the distance, enabling Dot to throw the last coin it needed to evolve. Gimmighoul then evolved into Gholdengo, learned {{m|Make It Rain}}, and helped both Dot and Penny to escape, while retrieving its Trainer's [[Rotom Phone]] with the collected data intact. After their mission was complete, Dot and Penny said goodbye to each other with Gholdengo helping its Trainer reunite with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In [[HZ125]], Gholdengo was brought out to battle [[Lucius's Arboliva]], which was being controlled by Chalce, after Quaxwell got knocked out. Gholdengo and Tinkaton were able to take down Arboliva through a combination of Make It Rain and {{m|Gigaton Hammer}}, destroying its cage in the process.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Gimmighoul Idolizing Gholdengo.png|250px|thumb|left|Gimmighoul idolizing Gholdengo]]
Gholdengo is an easy-going Pokémon. As a {{p|Gimmighoul}}, it was more skittish and had the habit of controlling people and Pokémon nearby into collecting [[Gimmighoul Coin|coins]] for it to store in its chest, as expected of its species. Each coin was so important for Gimmighoul that it would even risk its life to get one of them back, as seen in ''[[HZ105|Riding the Waves]]''.

[[HZ102|After stowing]] [[HZ103|away on the]] [[Brave Olivine]], Gimmighoul took a particular liking to [[Dot]], who quickly became its favorite target for collecting coins. While initially unpleased, she came to terms with this habit after sympathizing with Gimmighoul, mirroring the way it idolized a {{pkmn2|wild}} Gholdengo to her own admiration to {{an|Iono}}, which led to her catching it. Although she promised to continue gathering coins for it to [[Evolution|evolve]], Gimmighoul still kept controlling her and its new teammates on occasion, showcasing its mischievous side. Despite this, Gholdengo does care about Dot and is loyal to her.
[[File:Gholdengo Quaquaval Tinkaton.png|thumb|250px|Gholdengo, {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}}, and {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}]]
As a part of Dot's [[Party|team]], it developed a close bond with {{p|Tinkatuff}} during the events of ''[[HZ109|Tinkatuff's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Year!]]'', after she defended it from a {{p|Scrafty}} and returned the coins it had accidentally dropped; this left such an impression on Gimmighoul that it later chose to put aside its coins to help Tinkatuff make her new hammer, leading to her Evolution into {{TP|Dot|Tinkaton}}. Gholdengo even works well with Tinkaton, as seen in [[HZ125]], when they worked together to defeat [[Lucius's Arboliva]]. However, Gholdengo can clash with Tinkaton, but they get over it quickly, as seen in [[HZ127]], when they argued over a [[Sitrus Berry]] until {{p|Quaxwell}} broke them up and spilt the berry in half for them to share. Gholdengo became close with Quaxwell and gives its support for him, even maintaining its bond with him after evolving into {{TP|Dot|Quaquaval}}. Upon witnessing Quaxwell's determination to get stronger, Gholdengo was inspired to do same and helped him in [[HZ128]]. It also looks up to Quaquaval and Tinkaton for their skills in Pokémon battles, as it sees them as its older siblings.

As a Gimmighoul, Gholdengo was an inexperienced battler and, therefore, was most commonly used as a last resort, but would not hesitate in entering a battle if it meant helping or protecting its friends. After evolving in [[HZ120]], Gholdengo became much stronger and more reliable, with its newfound powers allowing it to blast through walls. Gholdengo also became capable of surfing as a means of transportation, and it deftly uses this skill both to disorient opponents in battle, such as [[Chalce]], and carry its Trainer around. Gholdengo also dosen't mind surfing with its friends, as seen in [[HZ123]].

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

Since the events in Laqua, Captain Pikachu teamed up with [[Roy]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Captain Pikachu also displayed great physical strength when he was able to lift Friede's spaceship with his new Tera Flying typing and managed to land it within the Brave Olivine's Force Field on the Battlefield, showing Captain Pikachu's strength is beyond that of a normal Pikachu.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to track down Sprigatito. After they found her, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence, which resulted in a [[Black Rayquaza]] being released from the Poké Ball and quickly forcing the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede, Liko, Roy, and [[Ludlow]] went to an island to check out a suspicious watchtower, after they [[HZ043|had just learned]] the Explorers were planning to summon and capture the Black Rayquaza. Friede went in first, only to realize it was a trap set by Spinel in order to keep him at bay while the plan rolled out somewhere else. Due to the small space, he sent out Captain Pikachu against his opponent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite initially struggling due to Umbreon's {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} countering Pikachu's physical attacks, they managed to escape after craftily forming a plan to use said moves in their favor. Friede arrived at the correct place in the [[HZ045|following episode]], only to witness as Rayquaza was sent crashing into the Brave Olivine after a Self-Destruct from Coral's Glalie. Once the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza. Amethio soon joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
While Liko, Roy, and Dot were undergoing [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course, Friede followed a hunch back to his old workplace, [[Exceed]]. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he asked the company's director and his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Upon reuniting with his old colleague [[Yanga]] and discovering that his access to the database had been blocked as he tried to look for the Treasure of Eternity, Friede decided to check on the vault where the mineral was being kept. He managed to barely sneak in, only to find an empty vault labeled "[[Laquium]]", and quickly made his escape. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Friede learned from Liko's first-hand experience about the actual power of Laquium and relayed the little information he had to the children.

Before leaving Naranja Academy, following the conclusion of their Tera Training, the children had been informed by [[Raifort]] about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. They arrived in Kitakami in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'' and participated in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]] while gathering information. While there, [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}} caught Friede's attention, which led to her constantly challenging him through the night, including to a battle, which ended in Friede's victory. Later, Carmine told the Rising Volt Tacklers that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Over the next days, Friede accompanied Liko, Roy, and Dot as they travelled to the Crystal Pool in ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', met Briar in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', searched around [[Tengu Mountain]] for [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' and ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', and learned about the original Explorers through Diana and [[Rystal]] in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of this World!]]''.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a wild Pokémon unrelated to the Six Heroes. Their continued search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in [[Area Zero]]. While Friede was easily granted permission to enter, the children had to prove themselves in battle against [[Geeta]] first. Then, they searched around Area Zero for Entei until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Much like in the battle against Entei, Friede teamed up with Liko, Roy, and Dot to face off against Gouging Fire and, in the [[HZ082|following episode]], the Black Rayquaza.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Friede and the young members finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel, whose tricky strategy of swapping {{Abilities}} managed to throw off him for a while before he outsmarted him with pure intuition. Despite his victory, Captain Pikachu and Charizard were left exhausted, which allowed for the Laquium mist to affect them in [[HZ087|following episode]], forcing Friede to recall them and only watch from the sidelines as Liko, Roy, and Dot, later joined by Amethio, fought against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon faded away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Urged to flee by Rayquaza, Friede aided the children in escaping, but they got caught in a heavy gust of wind as they attempted to board the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown.

The Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Friede before the area around Laqua got closed off by the Explorers, but did not manage to find him. His fate after this incident was only revealed in [[HZ122]], after he and his crew reunited, a year later. According to him, Charizard managed to save him from the fall, and, while in the air, he came to the realization that Laqua resembled the crater of a meteor crash. Friede collected some samples from the soil and then traveled all the way to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]] to meet with {{an|Steven Stone}} and confirm his suspicions. Following this, he headed to [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] in order to go to space and learn about the extraterrestrial origin of Laquium first-hand. During his training period, he befriended and caught a {{p|Starmie}}, which he nicknamed Instructor Starmie, obtained a [[Mega Ring]], and became a user of [[Mega Evolution]] with Charizard and Starmie. Before he left the planet, Friede sent a message to the Rising Volt Tacklers' app, but since the group was disbanded, the message wasn't found until ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a month after it was sent, confirming to them that he and Charizard had managed to survive the fall, but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited]]
In [[HZ121]], Friede suddenly contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers, informing he was on his way back from space. His returning trip, however, did not go according to plan, with the returning module going off-trajectory and the built-in parachutes failing to work. The Rising Volt Tacklers at the Brave Olivine acted quickly, predicting the exact location of his fall and slowing the module down with [[move]]s from all Pokémon, but this inadvertently pushed it away from the airship. At this moment, Captain Pikachu rushed in and, due to Pagogo's [[Terastal energy]], Terastallized into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], allowing him to catch the module and bring it back. Friede reunited with Captain Pikachu and his friends. He also introduces Instructor Starmie to everyone.

In [[HZ122]], Friede learned about the Rising Volt Tacklers' temporary disbandment, met [[Ult]] for the first time, and got caught up in the new developments regarding Laquium and Pagogo. Then, Friede challenged Roy to a battle in order to test his resolve as the new founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, claiming that, if Roy lost, the group would be disbanded. After both sides Terastallized, [[Roy's Skeledirge]] managed to win over his Charizard, which officially made Roy the leader of Rising Volt Tacklers. As night fell, Friede told his teammates he needed to travel to Hoenn, in order to pass by Mossdeep Space Center and have Devon Corporation analyze the data he gathered while in space, and gave Roy a briefcase containing something that would be useful to Rayquaza, before leaving on the back of his Mega Charizard Y.

In [[HZ130]], Friede contacted the team after leaving Devon Corporation once more, informing them that he was finished with his research and would be ready to reunite with them after one more errand. In [[HZ131|the next episode]], Friede showed and entrusted his Laquium research to Yanga before encountering [[Master Mayonnaise]], who had started following him out of fascination towards his Mega Starmie. After finding out they're both acquaintances of Roy, they went to meet with the team together. After observing a battle between Roy and Master Mayonnaise, Friede joined the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the newly upgraded Brave Olivine as they headed to Galar to meet Diana.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name. However, Friede didn't mind being called "''Master'' Friede" by [[Ult]].

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and [[Wy-Yes]]. However, Friede is very fond of the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, and does what he can to help them through their goals. Upon seeing Roy's growth in the past year and having a battle with him in [[HZ122]], Friede acknowledge him as the teams new leader and equal.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past. As time passed, Friede has become more open to his teammates.

===Pokémon===

Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon, typically viewed as leader figures by the younger Pokémon. He also has a tendency to give titles to his Pokemon, such as Captain Pikachu and Instructor Starmie.

Recognizing Starmie's desire to travel into space as well, Friede allowed it to train alongside him.

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Friede or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to track down Sprigatito. After they found her, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence, which resulted in a [[Black Rayquaza]] being released from the Poké Ball and quickly forcing the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede, Liko, Roy, and [[Ludlow]] went to an island to check out a suspicious watchtower, after they [[HZ043|had just learned]] the Explorers were planning to summon and capture the Black Rayquaza. Friede went in first, only to realize it was a trap set by Spinel in order to keep him at bay while the plan rolled out somewhere else. Due to the small space, he sent out Captain Pikachu against his opponent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite initially struggling due to Umbreon's {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} countering Pikachu's physical attacks, they managed to escape after craftily forming a plan to use said moves in their favor. Friede arrived at the correct place in the [[HZ045|following episode]], only to witness as Rayquaza was sent crashing into the Brave Olivine after a Self-Destruct from Coral's Glalie. Once the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza. Amethio soon joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
While Liko, Roy, and Dot were undergoing [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course, Friede followed a hunch back to his old workplace, [[Exceed]]. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he asked the company's director and his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Upon reuniting with his old colleague [[Yanga]] and discovering that his access to the database had been blocked as he tried to look for the Treasure of Eternity, Friede decided to check on the vault where the mineral was being kept. He managed to barely sneak in, only to find an empty vault labeled "[[Laquium]]", and quickly made his escape. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Friede learned from Liko's first-hand experience about the actual power of Laquium and relayed the little information he had to the children.

Before leaving Naranja Academy, following the conclusion of their Tera Training, the children had been informed by [[Raifort]] about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. They arrived in Kitakami in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'' and participated in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]] while gathering information. While there, [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}} caught Friede's attention, which led to her constantly challenging him through the night, including to a battle, which ended in Friede's victory. Later, Carmine told the Rising Volt Tacklers that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Over the next days, Friede accompanied Liko, Roy, and Dot as they travelled to the Crystal Pool in ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', met Briar in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', searched around [[Tengu Mountain]] for [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' and ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', and learned about the original Explorers through Diana and [[Rystal]] in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of this World!]]''.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a wild Pokémon unrelated to the Six Heroes. Their continued search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in [[Area Zero]]. While Friede was easily granted permission to enter, the children had to prove themselves in battle against [[Geeta]] first. Then, they searched around Area Zero for Entei until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Much like in the battle against Entei, Friede teamed up with Liko, Roy, and Dot to face off against Gouging Fire and, in the [[HZ082|following episode]], the Black Rayquaza.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Friede and the young members finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel, whose tricky strategy of swapping {{Abilities}} managed to throw off him for a while before he outsmarted him with pure intuition. Despite his victory, Captain Pikachu and Charizard were left exhausted, which allowed for the Laquium mist to affect them in [[HZ087|following episode]], forcing Friede to recall them and only watch from the sidelines as Liko, Roy, and Dot, later joined by Amethio, fought against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon faded away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Urged to flee by Rayquaza, Friede aided the children in escaping, but they got caught in a heavy gust of wind as they attempted to board the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown.

The Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Friede before the area around Laqua got closed off by the Explorers, but did not manage to find him. His fate after this incident was only revealed in [[HZ122]], after he and his crew reunited, a year later. According to him, Charizard managed to save him from the fall, and, while in the air, he came to the realization that Laqua resembled the crater of a meteor crash. Friede collected some samples from the soil and then traveled all the way to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]] to meet with {{an|Steven Stone}} and confirm his suspicions. Following this, he headed to [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] in order to go to space and learn about the extraterrestrial origin of Laquium first-hand. During his training period, he befriended and caught a {{p|Starmie}}, which he nicknamed Instructor Starmie, obtained a [[Mega Ring]], and became a user of [[Mega Evolution]] with Charizard and Starmie. Before he left the planet, Friede sent a message to the Rising Volt Tacklers' app, but since the group was disbanded, the message wasn't found until ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a month after it was sent, confirming to them that he and Charizard had managed to survive the fall, but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited]]
In [[HZ121]], Friede suddenly contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers, informing he was on his way back from space. His returning trip, however, did not go according to plan, with the returning module going off-trajectory and the built-in parachutes failing to work. The Rising Volt Tacklers at the Brave Olivine acted quickly, predicting the exact location of his fall and slowing the module down with [[move]]s from all Pokémon, but this inadvertently pushed it away from the airship. At this moment, Captain Pikachu rushed in and, due to Pagogo's [[Terastal energy]], Terastallized into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], allowing him to catch the module and bring it back. Friede reunited with Captain Pikachu and his friends. He also introduces Instructor Starmie to everyone.

In [[HZ122]], Friede learned about the Rising Volt Tacklers' temporary disbandment, met [[Ult]] for the first time, and got caught up in the new developments regarding Laquium and Pagogo. Then, Friede challenged Roy to a battle in order to test his resolve as the new founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, claiming that, if Roy lost, the group would be disbanded. After both sides Terastallized, [[Roy's Skeledirge]] managed to win over his Charizard, which officially made Roy the leader of Rising Volt Tacklers. As night fell, Friede told his teammates he needed to travel to Hoenn, in order to pass by Mossdeep Space Center and have Devon Corporation analyze the data he gathered while in space, and gave Roy a briefcase containing something that would be useful to Rayquaza, before leaving on the back of his Mega Charizard Y.

In [[HZ130]], Friede contacted the team after leaving Devon Corporation once more, informing them that he was finished with his research and would be ready to reunite with them after one more errand. In [[HZ131|the next episode]], Friede showed and entrusted his Laquium research to Yanga before encountering [[Master Mayonnaise]], who had started following him out of fascination towards his Mega Starmie. After finding out they're both acquaintances of Roy, they went to meet with the team together. After observing a battle between Roy and Master Mayonnaise, Friede joined the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the newly upgraded Brave Olivine as they headed to Galar to meet Diana.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name. However, Friede didn't mind being called "''Master'' Friede" by [[Ult]].

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and [[Wy-Yes]]. However, Friede is very fond of the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, and does what he can to help them through their goals. Upon seeing Roy's growth in the past year and having a battle with him in [[HZ122]], Friede acknowledge him as the teams new leader and equal.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past. As time passed, Friede has become more open to his teammates.

===Pokémon===

Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon, typically viewed as leader figures by the younger Pokémon. He also has a tendency to give titles to his Pokemon, such as Captain Pikachu and Instructor Starmie.

This listing is of Friede's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

Recognizing Starmie's desire to travel into space as well, Friede allowed it to train alongside him. The two became close, which led to Friede catching it and [[Nickname|nicknaming]] it "Instructor Starmie" due to how much he learnt from it during his training.

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Friede or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Young Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Young Roy]]
====Pre-series====
Roy grew up on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his [[Roy's parents|parents]] and [[Roy's grandfather|grandfather]]. During his childhood, Roy would travel with his parents on a cargo ship and his grandfather would tell the story of an [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]], which inspired him to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Sometime later, Roy was left under his grandfather's care when his parents went traveling on their own for business, as he received an [[Ancient Poké Ball]] from his grandfather and decided to undercover the mystery of it. Also, Roy would sing to himself until a group of [[wild Pokémon]] heard him and followed him.

===={{aniseries|HZ}}====
Roy debuted in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]''. In the morning after [[HZ002|a storm]], he ran to the beach, where he found the flag missing from the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]' [[Brave Olivine|airship]].

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', it was revealed that Roy attends virtual school and that he couldn't catch a Pokémon because there were no Pokémon Trainers on the island. After noticing that his [[Secret Base]] had been raided, Roy came across a {{p|Fuecoco}} and befriended him. Soon, they heard a commotion nearby and ran towards it to find [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} running from a group of wild Pokémon. Despite their best efforts to escape, however, they were cornered and tied up by multiple {{m|String Shot}}s until [[Friede]] came to their rescue. Afterwards, Roy and Fuecoco parted ways.

Wanting to meet Fuecoco again, Roy [[HZ005|snuck on the Brave Olivine]], but he got zapped by [[Captain Pikachu]], waking up everyone on the aircraft in the process. Roy wanted Fuecoco to be his partner, but Friede told him that Fuecoco had to reciprocate those feelings as well. He and Liko searched all over the Brave Olivine, and while they weren't able to find Fuecoco that night, Roy decided to leave him some [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]]. In the next day, Roy stumbled upon an agitated Fuecoco, who told him that there was trouble brewing at the Brave Olivine. At the beach, Roy partnered with Fuecoco to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Zirc]] and his {{p|Rhydon}}. By chanting alongside the {{pkmn|category|Fire Croc Pokémon}}, Roy helped Fuecoco to successfully fire off an {{m|Ember}}.
[[File:Roy RVT.png|thumb|250px|Roy joining the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]]]
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy battled against [[Amethio]] for the first time and, even alongside Liko, was quickly overwhelmed by his strength. When {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} was about to finish off Fuecoco and Sprigatito, Roy's Ancient Poké Ball started to shine brightly and released a {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], who fired a {{m|Draco Meteor}} that forced the [[Explorers]] to retreat and flew away. Later that day, Roy opened his heart to Fuecoco, confessing that he wanted him to be his partner. Fuecoco reciprocated those feelings and spat out a {{i|Poké Ball}} that Friede's {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} gave him, allowing Roy to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} him. After stating he wanted to realize both his and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}'s dreams, his grandfather allowed him to go out on his [[Pokémon journey]] with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Liko and Roy had a sparring battle, which ended with both of their Pokémon just exhausting themselves. After a training session with Captain Pikachu, they had another battle, which went much better. Although Roy ended up losing, he wasn't dejected, and promised to battle Liko again later.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in [[Paldea]]. In [[HZ010|the following episode]], Roy and Liko visited [[Artazon]] to meet [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]], who had supposedly seen the Black Rayquaza. Brassius eventually admitted this to have been the case, with the encounter having left him in an artistic slump, as he felt his Rayquaza statue was not as good as the real thing. Roy, however, thought Brassius's statue looked just as good as the actual Rayquaza. After hearing how Rayquaza had been the inspiration behind his journey, Brassius challenged Roy to a battle to see if he was worthy of facing Rayquaza. During the battle, Brassius told Roy to remember to keep an eye on his own Pokémon, allowing Roy to spot that Fuecoco had just learned {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}. Despite this new [[move]], however, Fuecoco was still defeated after Brassius {{Tera}}stallized his {{p|Sudowoodo}}, ending the match in Roy's loss. After the battle, Roy expressed interest in getting to try out using the Terastal phenomenon himself. After learning that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over [[Arboliva's Forest]], Roy and Liko decided to make it their next destination.

In ''[[HZ011|Arboliva's Forest]]'', {{an|Nemona}} led Roy and Liko to Arboliva's Forest, only to find part of it burned down after a lightning strike started a wildfire. While searching the area, Roy came across a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Lucius|Arboliva}} with an Ancient Poké Ball. Mistakenly assuming the pair were trying to harm the Pokémon living in the forest, Arboliva began attacking Roy and Liko. While Roy and Liko kept Arboliva distracted, [[Mollie]] treated an injured {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Wooper}}, calming Arboliva down. In the [[HZ012|following episode]], the Rising Volt Tacklers held a successful group effort to replant the damaged part of the forest. Liko's pendant briefly transformed into a mysterious Pokémon just before Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:Roy and Wattrel.png|thumb|250px|left|Roy catches {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} as his second Pokémon]]
In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', a {{p|Wattrel}} stole a [[sandwich]] that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind. In the [[HZ014|next episode]], Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using [[Ludlow]]'s [[fishing]] rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, [[Murdock]] gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his [[party|team]].
[[File:Liko Roy Dot Paldean first partners.png|thumb|250px|Roy, [[Liko]], and [[Dot]] battling the [[Explorers]]]]
In ''[[HZ015|Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?]]'', Roy was informed that Liko went missing while shopping, so he and the Rising Volt Tacklers went looking for her. However, Roy wandered off when his Wattrel ran to chase after a {{p|Corvisquire}} until they went to [[Levincia]]. After meeting up with Friede, Roy met [[Dot]] for the first time and went looking for Liko, being able to find her. Roy was then informed that Liko had her pendant stolen and they agreed to get it back. In the [[HZ016|next episode]], Roy and his friends found [[Spinel]], the one who stole the object, and then battled him. After Liko got her pendant back, Roy and his friends made their escape thanks to Arboliva.

In ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', Roy decided to train his Pokémon in teamwork in the hopes of helping his Fuecoco and Wattrel get along better, due to their constant arguing. Roy asked Captain Pikachu to battle them, which he accepted. However, due to Fuecoco and Wattrel's lack of teamwork, Roy lost the match. The boy then decided to train his Pokémon and was able to get them to work together. Next, he asked Cap for a [[rematch]] but, although Fuecoco and Wattrel's teamwork improved, Roy lost to Cap again.

In the [[HZ018|next episode]], Roy and his friends got curious as to how Captain Pikachu was able to fly during his battle against him. Although they asked Friede for answers, they couldn't get the information they wanted. However, Roy and his friends refused to give up and they decided to ask the rest of the members, but couldn't get an answer from them either. Despite this, Roy and his friends' curiosity did get the rest of the members curious as well. Eventually, [[Orla]] was able to convince Friede into telling them as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', Roy arrived at [[Motostoke Stadium]] with Liko in order to get some information about the Black Rayquaza from [[Motostoke]] Gym Leader [[Kabu]], due to him being from [[Hoenn]]. However, Roy and Liko received some training from Kabu before having a [[Multi Battle]] against him. Despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, Roy lost to Kabu while Liko forfeited because she felt bad for her opponent, {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}. After the battle, Roy and Liko found out from Kabu that the Black Rayquaza was at the [[Galar Mine]].

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at the Galar Mine, but the former two got separated from Friede. While trying to find the Black Rayquaza, the two encountered the Explorers again in the process. During the battle, Roy and Liko met a {{rf|Galarian}} {{TP|Lucius|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, which got him to realize that it was one of Lucius's Pokémon. Unfortunately, they were forced to retreat when Moltres proved to be too strong and Captain Pikachu was injured as they left the mine. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Roy and Liko arrived at the [[Pokémon Center]] in Motostoke where they reunited with Friede and agreed to battle Moltres again. After finding Moltres again at the Galar Mine, Roy battled the [[Legendary Pokémon]] again in order to calm it down. After Moltres calmed down, Roy witnessed the Legendary Pokémon return to its Ancient Poké Ball, as Liko took it under her care.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Friede arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Roy and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Roy and Liko tried to escape the Explorers, but were forced to battle Zirc and [[Onia]], which was interrupted by the arrival of [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]]. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Roy and his friends were able to escape from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ031|Song Within the Mist]]'', Roy joined his friends and Ludlow in finding a {{TP|Lucius|Lapras}}, who happened to be one of Lucius's Pokémon, after they got a lead from a ship crew that saw the Transport Pokémon. Fortunately, Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ludlow were able to find Lapras, but they failed to get it to come out, as it was covered by the {{m|Mist}} and two Pokémon appeared on the ship. When Friede devised a plan to get Lapras back, Roy and Liko stayed on the deck to wait for the Transport Pokémon. Thanks to Friede and Captain Pikachu, the two saw Lapras with battle scars and other various Pokémon on a {{p|Wailord}}, who also had scars as well. In the [[HZ032|next episode]], Roy joined Liko and Friede in going after Lapras and, after convincing it that they were friends, the Transport Pokémon returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and Liko took it under her care. However, before setting off, Roy and his friends witnessed the Black Rayquaza arriving at their location.

In ''[[HZ033|Roar of the Black Rayquaza]]'', Roy attempted to battle the Black Rayquaza, but couldn't because Amethio arrived to battle it and {{an|Terapagos}} {{a|Tera Shift|transformed}} in order to protect its friends. However, after Terapagos collapsed and the Black Rayquaza left, Roy was depressed that he didn't get to battle the Legendary Pokémon. Fortunately, after doing a training battle with Liko against Diana, Roy cheered up and understood that he had a long way to go in order to battle the Black Rayquaza. In the [[HZ034|next episode]], Roy and Liko overheard Diana's intentions to continue traveling alone. They decided to organize a surprise farewell party for her. Through the help of their teammates, Roy and Liko surprised Diana with the party, which she appreciated. Once they bid farewell to Diana, the Rising Volt Tacklers resumed their search for the remaining [[Six Heroes]]. However, Roy was informed by Friede that they were heading to Paldea first in order to gain information on Terapagos.

In ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers took on a job to deal with a group of {{p|Sandile}}, {{p|Krokorok}}, and {{p|Krookodile}} that were disturbing some {{OBP|archeologists|HZ037}}. Roy and Fuecoco eventually found the group and quickly befriended them upon learning they were a family trying to protect their {{pkmn|Egg}}s. When the archeologists' digging equipment disturbed the young Sandile, Krookodile and the Krokorok went on a rampage in order to destroy the machinery. By learning {{m|Disarming Voice}}, Fuecoco managed to calm its new friends down. Afterward, once the situation was explained to both parties, Krookodile and its family agreed to work alongside the archeologists.

In ''[[HZ042|Transform! Hero of the Seas, Palafin]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers successfully returned to Paldea. In the [[HZ043|following episode]], Roy and Liko were challenged to a battle by Coral and Sidian, respectively. Fuecoco struggled to land any hits on Coral's {{p|Glalie}} due to it freezing the battlefield, but upon noticing Fuecoco's growing frustration, Roy commanded it to use Stomping Tantrum, creating an ice fence that sent Glalie flying. Impressed by her opponents' determination, Coral decided to stop holding back, only to be forcibly pulled away by Sidian for a mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Coral, Sidian, and [[Chalce]] used a machine capable of recreating Terapagos's energy to summon the Black Rayquaza. While Dot worked on a shutdown program for the machine, Roy and Liko used their Pokémon to keep the Explorers distracted. Their efforts worked, but after Dot shut the machine down, Coral lost her temper and commanded her Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The attack collided with Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, creating an explosion powerful enough to blast the Sky High Pokémon directly into the hull of the Brave Olivine.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Roy and {{an|Nemona}}]]
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', the ship was safely docked while the Explorers retreated, realizing their operation was a failure. Hoping to convey Terapagos's desire to reach [[Laqua]], Roy, Liko, Friede, and Dot challenged Rayquaza to a battle, which it readily accepted. Amethio later joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but both were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Roy and Liko confronted Rayquaza next, but despite Fuecoco learning {{m|Flame Charge}} and Sprigatito [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}, they were unable to do much against the Sky High Pokémon. After Rayquaza took off, the Rising Volt Tacklers regrouped. While the Brave Olivine underwent repairs, Roy, Liko, and Dot decided to become stronger by learning how to use the Terastal phenomenon as well.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot were enrolled in [[Naranja Academy]] as part of the [[Tera Training]] course. They each received a [[Tera Orb]] and were tasked with battling the Paldea [[Gym Leader]]s as part of their Tera Training. To Roy's excitement, Brassius was chosen as his opponent. Roy also met [[Ann]], Liko's friend from [[Indigo Academy]]. After watching Liko and Ann battle, Roy and his friends set off for Liko's battle against [[Katy]] in [[Cortondo]].

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot arrived in Artazon. Roy's basic aptitude test was temporarily postponed due to the town having its annual [[Artazon Art Festival]]. In the meantime, Roy faced Nemona in a battle, but was defeated. Frustrated, Roy asked to rematch Nemona, only for Brassius to suggest Roy participate in the festival in order to realize why he lost. Together, Roy and Fuecoco made a clay Charizard sculpture capable of breathing fire provided by Fuecoco's Flamethrower. This allowed Roy to realize he was failing to utilize any opportunity and resources in battles, impressing Brassius as a result. During his rematch with Brassius, Roy properly used strategies to see through Brassius's tactics, then defeated him after Terastallizing Fuecoco for the first time.

In ''[[HZ052|Wattrel's High Wind Warning!]]'', while looking for wild Pokémon to make a research report on, Roy noticed that Wattrel still struggled to fly properly in strong winds. That night, Roy and Fuecoco found that Wattrel had left their tent to go train in secret. The three also encountered [[Ryme]], a Trainer Roy bonded with over their shared love of music. The following morning, Roy found a wild {{p|Capsakid}} had gotten stuck on a cliff. Remembering the words of encouragement Ryme gave it earlier, Wattrel worked up the courage to fly down and save the Capsakid despite the strong winds blowing in the area. When Roy slipped and fell off the ledge he was standing on, Wattrel immediately rushed in to save its Trainer, evolving into {{p|Kilowattrel}} in the process.
[[File:Roy and Brassius.png|250px|thumb|Roy and [[Brassius]]]]
In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot participated in the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]] alongside the respective Gym Leaders they battled in their basic aptitude tests. Roy and Fuecoco teamed up with Brassius and his {{p|Dolliv}} to battle [[Hassel]]'s {{p|Baxcalibur}} and {{p|Flapple}}. Although both Trainers creatively combined their Pokémon's moves in a variety of ways, Fuecoco and Dolliv were eventually taken out by a {{a|Thermal Exchange}}-boosted {{m|Glaive Rush}} from Baxcalibur. Despite the loss, Roy promised Nemona that he would keep improving as a Trainer so he could one day face her in another battle.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede met with [[Clavell]] and [[Geeta]], hoping to learn more about Terapagos from them. Although they didn't have much knowledge on the subject, Clavell and Geeta revealed that a sketch in the [[Scarlet Book]] depicted a third form of Terapagos. Later, Roy and the others met another teacher, [[Raifort]], who provided them with some information on Laqua. Afterward, the students were each assigned a second Gym Leader to face as part of the implementation tests. Roy was paired with Ryme in [[Montenevera]], but the group decided to head to [[Medali]] first for Dot's battle against [[Larry]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Roy and his friends arrived in Montenevera, where they reunited with Nemona. After defeating [[MC Sledge]] and his {{p|Sableye}}, Roy faced Ryme in a rap battle, where he impressed the Gym Leader with his skills. In the Terastal battle, Roy sent out Kilowattrel against Ryme's Houndstone, but it was quickly defeated. He then switched it out for Fuecoco, who managed to take out Houndstone after being encouraged by their song. When Ryme switched in her {{p|Toxtricity}}, it used its moves and {{a|Punk Rock}} [[Ability]] to negate all of Fuecoco's attacks. Backed into a corner, Roy Terastallized Fuecoco, but they were unable to launch a single attack before Toxtricity defeated them. Ryme scolded Roy for failing to utilize Fuecoco's strengths properly, failed him, and told Roy to challenge her again at a later time.

In ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy and Fuecoco participated in Nemona's [[Hyper Training]] session to prepare for their rematch with Ryme. While taking a break, Roy explained to the others how his love of singing came from the songs he and his parents sung together before they left on a long voyage together. Once their training had finished, Roy returned to Ryme and faced her in another battle. With a new song they created together, Roy and Fuecoco fared much better against Toxtricity, even forcing Ryme to Terastallize it. Eventually, Toxtricity was taken out by Fuecoco's Tera-boosted Flamethrower, giving Roy the victory and a passing grade on his exam. Afterward, Roy admitted that his and Fuecoco's song isn't for making them stronger in battle, it symbolizes the bond he and Fuecoco share. Ryme congratulated Roy on his victory, but noted how it's up to him whether or not Fuecoco reaches its full potential.
[[File:HZ067.png|250px|left|thumb|Roy battling Liko in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Roy, Liko, and Dot returned to the Naranja Academy, where Nemona informed them of the upcoming [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] to celebrate the end of the Tera Training course. Roy was then informed by Dot that the Explorers were trying to hack into the academy's systems to steal information on Terapagos. After splitting up, Roy found Coral and challenged her. Roy soon took the fight outside the classroom, to prevent the destruction of the students' artworks, while Coral followed in pursuit. After a clash of power between Fuecoco's Flamethrower and Glalie's {{m|Blizzard}}, the boy encouraged his Partner Pokémon, who ultimately outclassed his opponent and defeated Glalie, forcing Coral to retreat in anger. Later, after reuniting with Liko and Dot, the three were informed by [[Dendra]] that both Roy and Liko [[HZ067|are set to battle each other next]]. After a couple of switches, both Kilowattrel and {{TP|Liko|Hattrem}} were down, leaving only their first partner Pokémon remaining. Encouraged by the collective chanting of his Trainer, [[Ryme]], and the crowd, Fuecoco evolved into {{TP|Roy|Crocalor}}. Then, Roy and Liko both Terastallized their Pokémon, but Crocalor prevailed and defeated Floragato, making Roy the winner.

Following the end of the Tera Training course, Roy, Liko, and Dot reunited with the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]''. After Liko received Lucius's belt back from Friede, Roy was challenged by Lucius's Moltres, who wanted to test his strength as a Trainer at the end of his Tera Training. After exchanging a couple of attacks, Roy Terastallized Crocalor and had him use an enhanced Flame Charge, which Moltres withstood, but still seemed content with their growth before returning to its Poké Ball soon after.

Before they left Naranja Academy, [[Raifort]] informed them about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede arrived at the [[Crystal Pool]] in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', where Briar was at, according to [[Carmine]]. After calming a wild Terastallized {{p|Milotic}} down, Liko's group and Briar discussed about Terapagos, its forms, and its connection to [[Area Zero]]. Once night fell, Briar suggested using the Crystal Pool's special properties and Terapagos's memories about Lucius to summon him and find some answers, but nothing happened. Afterward, they bid farewell to Briar and returned to the Brave Olivine, without any leads regarding Terapagos or the Six Heroes until Dot ran into [[Perrin]], a photographer who snapped a [[photo]] of [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in [[Tengu Mountain]], though she couldn't remember the exact place.

Roy, Liko Dot, Friede, and Perrin arrived in Tengu Mountain in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]''. Roy ended up separated from the others after he and Crocalor fell into an underground cave, but they managed to find their way out and counted on Kilowattrel to take them up the mountain. Eventually, the group reunited near a {{p|Dugtrio}}-shaped rock, where Dot identified Perrin's photo had been taken. In the [[HZ073|following episode]], once Roy and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down, Lapras emerged from her Poké Ball to greet her old friend. Liko and Lapras asked Kleavor to join them on their quest, to which it responded by entering a nearby cave. Roy, Liko, and Dot traversed the cave, eventually finding Kleavor waiting for them inside a bamboo grove. Realizing Kleavor aimed to test their might, Roy and the others accepted its challenge and sent out their Pokémon to face it. After a long battle over various terrains, Kleavor emerged victorious over Roy, Liko, and Dot's Terastallized Pokémon. Despite their loss, Kleavor acknowledged Roy and the others' strength and returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.
[[File:OPJ32 Rotom Photo HZ083.png|thumb|right|170px|The Rising Volt Tacklers battling the [[Black Rayquaza]] again]]
After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], the Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a [[wild Pokémon]] unrelated to the Six Heroes.

The Rising Volt Tacklers' search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in Area Zero. In order for Roy, Liko, and Dot to be granted access to the area, they were tasked with defeating Geeta's Pokémon, consisting of a {{p|Glimmora}} and two {{p|Glimmet}}, in a battle. In the end, only Floragato and Glimmora remained, with Liko's Pokémon barely managing to win thanks to {{a|Overgrow}} activating. Having been granted permission, the children searched around Area Zero for Entei alongside Friede and Briar until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Eventually, after an intense battle, the Rising Volt Tacklers earned Gouging Fire's trust. In the [[HZ082|following episode]], the children and Friede battled once more against the Black Rayquaza after it had been summoned to Area Zero by the other heroes. Despite putting up a tough fight, Rayquaza was still able to endure their assault and retaliate, leaving only Roy's Crocalor and Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Terastal Form}}, standing. After being hit by a Dragon Ascent, Pagogo chose to share its [[Terastal energy]] with Crocalor, allowing it to Terastallize and weaken Rayquaza enough for it to go inside its Ancient Poké Ball. Having achieved his goal of catching Rayquaza, Roy decided to have the Legendary Pokémon acknowledge him to be worthy of being its Trainer.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Roy, Liko, Dot, and Friede finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. Once again, Roy faced off against Coral, this time against her {{p|Scream Tail}}, and managed to win without resorting to Terastallization even when his opponent did it. When Zirc and Onia arrived in ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', the young Rising Volt Tacklers were able to proceed to Laqua's previously sealed off area, where they discovered that Lucius was still alive. While Pagogo and Six Heroes gathered power to purify Laqua of [[Laquium]], the children, alongside Amethio, Terastallized their main Pokémon in preparation for a showdown against [[Gibeon]] and the [[White Zygarde]]. The battle begun in the [[HZ088|following episode]] and was initially very one-sided, with the Order Pokémon being so powerful that they weren't able to deal notable damage even when exploiting a weakness. With a {{m|Land's Wrath}} attack, Zygarde defeated Crocalor and Quaxwell, and left Floragato and Ceruledge on their last legs. Once Floragato evolved into {{TP|Liko|Meowscarada}} and managed to knock Zygarde down, the Legendary Pokémon forfeited the battle, revealing it was actually testing the strength and resolve of Liko and her friends all along, before disassembling and abandoning Gibeon due to his actions.
[[File:Lucario choosing Roy.png|thumb|250px|left|Lucario choosing to go with Roy]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its Stellar Form, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Roy witnessed Lucius fading away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Rayquaza shielded Roy and the others with its body before urging them to flee the area. With Roy's Kilowattrel and Friede's Charizard, the group was able to reach the Brave Olivine, but soon faced a heavy loss when Friede and his Charizard were blown off by the heavy winds, leaving their fate unknown.

Roy and the others eventually returned to Mount Pericarp to look for Friede, only to find that [[Exceed]] had the area blocked off. With Spinel framing Laqua's destruction on the Rising Volt Tacklers, the group decided to lay low and go their separate ways, dropping him back to Kanto. In the year following these events, Roy took custody of Captain Pikachu and somehow caught a {{Shiny|yellow}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in his travels. In that same year, Roy [[HZ112|met]] and [[HZ113|trained]] [[HZ114|alongside]] [[Ult]] in [[Kalos]], which led to both becoming [[Rival|rivals]], acquiring [[Mega Ring]]s, and mastering [[Mega Evolution]].

[[HZ090|One year after]] ''Where the Adventure Leads'', Roy received a message from Dot informing him about Laquium effects still existing worldwide. Roy and his rival Ult both battled and defeated a Laquium-enhanced wild {{p|Slaking}} with their respective Pokémon, after which Roy left his rival behind to meet with Liko at [[Indigo Academy]]. Roy then showed up at Indigo Academy, [[HZ091|meeting up]] with Liko for the first time in a year. He then battled and defeated both Ann and Liko. After that, Liko then decided to join Roy and Dot in exposing the truth about the events at Laqua and clearing the Rising Volt Tacklers' name.

In ''[[HZ095|The Strong Sphere]]'', Roy and Liko went to an Exceed facility after their battle with a Laquium-enhanced {{p|Vileplume}} in the [[HZ094|last episode]], figuring it might have something to do with its Laquium infection. Roy and Liko then battled Coral and Sidian, only to be defeated by their Laquium-enhanced opponents before either of them could Terastallize their Partner Pokémon. Afterwards, both Trainers were saved by Ult, who managed to hold the Explorers off and help them escape after Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct. Roy and Liko, now joined by Ult, then proceeded on traveling to a new destination ahead.
[[File:Ann Vs Roy HZ091.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy battling Ann]]
In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', Roy and the others visited Orla at [[Karna]]'s [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Poké Ball factory]]. While trying to convince Orla to aid them, Dot and the group find out through Ult that Karna had been hired to manufacture shells for the Strong Spheres, oblivious to what they truly were. Two Exceed employees came to pick up their order, but when Ult denied them, the Explorers members [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]] stepped in to take them by force. In the [[HZ100|following episode]], Roy, Ult, Dot, and Liko teamed up to battle Indi and Rubina's Laquium-enhanced {{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}}. By exploiting a weakness caused by the Laquium's effect, Roy and the others emerged victorious, forcing Indi and Rubina to retreat.

Later, after Orla had been convinced to fly on the airship once again, Roy and the others pitched in to help clean and repair the Brave Olivine. Once they were done, Mollie, Murdock, and Ludlow arrived to join as well. To everyone else's surprise, Ult proudly stated he would be joining the Rising Volt Tacklers as their newest member. As they prepared to take off, Dot discovered a message from Friede revealing to everyone that he was alive and well, but was in hiding from the Explorers.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Roy, Liko, Dot, and Ult met with Geeta and Clavell at Naranja Academy to discuss Laquium and how Exceed was exploiting its power for their own gain. They then talked about the same subject with [[Jacq]], who promised to do his own investigation on how Laquium affects Pokémon. Later, after reuniting with Nemona, Roy faced her in a [[Double Battle]], using Crocalor and Lucario against Nemona's {{p|Pawmot}} and {{p|Ribombee}}. During the climax of the battle, Roy Mega Evolved his Lucario and Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot into a {{T|Fighting}}-type, which ended the battle in a final clash between the two and the in the latter's defeat, resulting in Roy's victory.

In ''[[HZ110|The Six Heroes Unleashed!]]'', Roy joined Liko and Ult in facing off against the Explorers once again, who empowered five of the Six Heroes with Super Strong Spheres which made them go berserk. Roy's Pokémon struggled to deal significant damage to the Six Heroes. After Pagogo was defeated, Roy and his friends had to face off against the berserk Six Heroes once again. In the [[HZ111|next episode]], Roy and his friends continued struggling against the rampaging heroes. Despite the timely assistance by Amethio and Zygarde, the battle still resulted in a complete defeat for the Rising Volt Tacklers. Exhausted, the effects of the Super Strong Spheres wore off on the Six Heroes, whose unconscious bodies were taken away by the Explorers. After bidding farewell to Amethio, [[Hamber]], and [[Cervantis]], Roy and the others received a call from Briar, who suggested that they come meet her at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Realizing that Blueberry Academy is a school that specializes in Pokémon battling, Roy and his friends decided it would be the perfect location to train for their next encounter with the Explorers, as Liko revealed to them that their friend Ann is there as an exchange student.

In [[HZ116]], Roy started his training with one of the BB Elite 4 members, [[Drayton]], by doing some Blueberry quests. The "training" turned out to be false when [[Lacey]] discovered Drayton had tricked Roy into doing his quests for him. After Drayton heard Roy battled with Hassel, whom his grandfather was associated with, he began to train Roy seriously with a Double Battle. While Roy's Pokémon held their own, once Drayton used {{m|Rain Dance}} to his advantage, Crocalor and Kilowattrel were defeated easily, causing Roy to lose. After this loss, Drayton told Roy he should be more calm and less tense in battle, after which Roy and Crocalor chose to laze around next to a {{p|Slakoth}} in the [[Terarium]] to get an idea of what Drayton meant.

In [[HZ119]], Roy and Drayton had their rematch, with Crocalor and Kilowattrel facing off against {{p|Kingdra}} and {{p|Archaludon}} once again. This time Roy was more calm and composed, trusting his Pokémon better and using better strategies to counter his oppnent's weather tactics. Soon Kingdra was defeated with a combined attack, only for Archaludon to attack Crocalor, resulting in Kilowattrel protecting its teammate and getting knocked out afterwards. With Kilowattrel's defeat, Crocalor clashed with Archaludon, with Roy cheering him on, which resulted in his evolution into {{p|Skeledirge}}. After Roy and Drayton Terastallized their respective Pokémon, Skeledirge defeated Archaludon by powering through its Draco Meteor attack with Flamethrower, winning Roy the rematch. Roy thanked Drayton for his training, and Liko congratulated Roy on his victory.

In [[HZ122]], Roy and Skeledirge battled against Friede's Charizard for the first time. Thanks to a newly learned [[Torch Song (move)|Torch Song]], Skeledirge eventually managed to defeat Charizard.
[[File:Roy and Rayquaza.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and the Black Rayquaza]]
In [[HZ124]], Roy and his friends infiltrated the Explorers HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes. Roy and Ult went up the roof but were caught by the grunts and battle them. After defeating them, Roy and Ult meet up with the girls and Amethio, as Dot was able to get them in by hacking the door. Roy and his friends then snuck into the HQ to rescue the remaining Six Heroes, only to be led into a trap set by Spinel, with Roy and his friends facing against each of the remaining Six Heroes and Explores Admins one on one.

In [[HZ125]], Roy used his Skeledirge and Kilowattrel to battle Lucius's Moltres. Despite struggling, Roy is able to find an opening for his Pokémon to battle Moltres, but found one then combined his Kilowattrel use its newly learn {{m|Supercell Slam}} and Skeledirge's {{m|Torch Song}}, defeating the Malevolent Pokémon.

In [[HZ127]], Roy battled against Nemona with Lucario and Pawmot having a rematch. After a tough fight Roy Mega-evolved Lucario while Nemona Terastallized her Pawmot, with Lucario being defeated as a result, causing Roy to lose the battle.

In [[HZ129]], Roy, Liko, and Ult travelled to the Dragon's den to battle the Black Rayquaza, though not before feeding it a meteorite given by Friede. Rayquaza then Terastallized and battled Roy and Ult's Pokémon teams, defeating most of their Pokémon, with only Skeledirge remaining as a final battler. Roy encouraged Skeledirge with all his effort, allowing Skeledirge to slow down and take Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and then defeated it with Flamethrower. Roy then officially caught Rayquaza, who acknowledged him as a Trainer, finally fufilling his dream. Rayquaza then exited its Poké Ball and started roaming the world until the time comes to gather the Six Heroes to get rid of Laquium once and for all.

In [[HZ131]], Roy is reunited with [[Master Mayonnaise]] whom came to the Kalos Region looking for him and Ult and ran into Friede being fascinated with his Mega Starmie. He receives the [[Lucarionite Z]] from Master Mayonnaise for his Lucario. Soon, he and Lucario battle against Master Mayonnaise and his [[Hawlucha (Pokémon)|Hawlucha]]. At first its showboat personality made it vulnerable to attack, however after it Mega Evolved, Lucario's attacks couldn't physically phase it. Roy tried to Mega Evolve Lucario with the new Mega Stone, however, it didn't respond to him nor Lucario before it was defeated. Master Mayonnaise revealed the reason why Roy and Lucario couldn't Master it is because their usage of Aura wasn't compatible to use the new Mega Evolution form. Roy vowed to learn and train his [[Aura]] until he could learn it alongside Lucario and asked Master Mayonnaise to train him again which he agreed to.

===Character===
[[File:Roy and Grandfather.png|thumb|250px|Roy and [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]]]]
Roy is an upbeat and energetic boy who likes to go hunting for treasures. Adventurous by nature, Roy seeks to start a journey to meet Pokémon he has not seen and see the world, just like the fabled [[Lucius|Ancient Adventurer]] he has heard about from his {{TP|Roy|grandfather}}. Although he starts inexperienced about the inner workings of being a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is nonetheless adept at other related activities, such as building [[Secret Base]]s, and an expert in stone throwing, being able to ricochet pebbles for long distances to cut {{Berries}} from trees and create distractions, which makes his {{i|Poké Ball}} throws very accurate. Roy also seems to enjoy mysteries and doesn't rest until he’s solved them. Due to growing up on an island, Roy struggles to navigate through large cities like [[Levincia]] and [[Lumiose City]] as all the buildings look the same to him, leading him to get lost easily as shown in ''[[Someone We Can't See! Whosawhatsit?!|''Someone We Can’t See! Whosawhatsit?!]]'' and ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]''.

He always keeps his head up and is looking ahead, which [[Emma]]'s points out in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]''. Those characteristic's seem to be an inspiration to those around him, such as [[Dot]] and [[Ult]]. He also has a way of cheering up his friends whenever they are sad or down and knows how to raise their spirts. In addition, Roy doesn't usually show downer emotions, such a depression and sadness. Although, Roy does show those emotions, but dosne't let him affect him very long and shakes it off quickly.

Roy is shown to enjoy singing and eating, especially berries and spicy food. Roy's enjoyment of berries and spicy flavored foods is also shown in his [[curry]], as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', as most of the ingredients he uses are spicy flavored and berries. However, despite berries and spicy stuff being his favorite food, Roy does like certain other types of foods, such as sweets. Roy also gets excited to eat in general, as seen in ''[[HZ019|The Bittersweet Truth]]'', when he and {{p|Fuecoco}} got excited to eat all the sweets that [[Murdock]] and {{OBP|Mitchell|HZ019}} made from their unexpected bake-off. In addition to being a good singer, Roy is a skilled rapper. As revealed in ''[[HZ062|A New Song for Fuecoco]]'', Roy's love for singing comes from his parents, as they used to sing together whenever he was with them on their cargo ship, and even long after they had left, he would bond with the island Pokémon this way. He continues to use his newfound passion for singing as a means to not only have fun but improve his bond with Fuecoco, as he came up with a new song and battle tactic that is less predictable and stronger than before, allowing him and Fuecoco to win their rematch against [[Ryme]] in the same episode and fully gaining her respect to the point where she hyped up the crowd along with Roy when him and Fuecoco starting singing during his battle against [[Liko]] in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]''.
[[File:Dot Liko Roy Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy and his friends]]
After befriending and spending time with Fuecoco and Liko, Roy learns that the feelings of the Trainer and the Pokémon have to coincide in order for a partnership to be born. Roy is also shown to be passionate about Pokémon, particularly [[Legendary Pokémon]], with his dream being to meet and battle them, much like the Ancient Adventurer, who managed to catch the {{Shiny|Black}} [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. In addition, Roy would help any Pokémon in trouble as he would solve or work out their problems, especially his own. Due to living on an island for most of his life, Roy can get excited to see various places for the first time. However, despite this, Roy does have social skills as he isn't shy to talk with people or Pokémon. Although, Roy can be oblivious when it comes to the field of romance until someone points it out to him. Roy also enjoys being around nature, and often does his online classes in various spots on the island, with him deciding to make the battlefield on the [[Brave Olivine]] his main place to do them.

Upon being assigned to hoist the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]]'s flag in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy not only takes his job seriously, but also takes care of it. Roy is also fond of the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag, having found it in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', and symbolizes as to how he meet his friends, especially Fuecoco and Liko, and fond his ambitions. Through taking care of the Rising Volt Tackler's flag, Roy learned how to sew it back up whenever it got torn up, as seen in ''[[HZ038|The SOS is from Tandemaus?]]''. Roy also enjoys watching the Rising Volt Tacklers's flag blow into the wind when he and his teammates are flying around the Brave Olivine.

[[File:Roy parents.png|thumb|right|250px|Roy and [[Roy's parents|his parents]]]]
Roy shares a close relationship with his grandfather, as he raised and took care of him growing up. Since meeting [[Friede]] in ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Roy began to show admiration for him, as he looks up to him for both his skills and knowledge as Pokémon Trainer and [[Pokémon Professor|Professor]]. Roy also takes inspiration from Friede, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]'', when he was inspired by his Pokémon training together and decided to do the same thing for his Pokémon. In addition, Roy seems to have a great relationship with the rest of his teammates. However, out of all of his teammates, Roy seems to have a special relationship with Liko and Dot, as he often hangs out with them and enjoys their company. Throughout their journey, they would support each other, usually training together to become both better Trainers and versions of themselves. Roy also would go to Liko and Dot for advice whenever he is stuck in a jam.

Ever since the events in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', Roy took an interest in Pokémon battles and enjoys them, but lacked experiences and tended to be reckless while relying on brute force. However, thanks to the help of others, Roy has shown gradual improvement in his skills. His potential as a battler even got the attention of [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]-ranked Trainer {{an|Nemona}}, which lead to them to developing a friendly rivalry, where she desires to battle him often and frequently watches his important battles as well as help him train for upcoming ones. Roy has also learned that having his Pokémon train with each other not only helps them become stronger, but also would help strengthen both their friendship and teamwork, as seen in ''[[HZ017|Special Training Time!]]''. In addition, Roy learns that failure in a Pokémon battle is part of a Trainers growth in order to improve. At first, Roy was only focusing on the battle and not everything around him. However, through [[Brassius]]'s advice in ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Roy realizes that using everything around him such as the environment and small details of Pokémon can help him in battle. Overtime, Roy has learnt to strategise and adapt better during battles to avoid becoming too predictable, getting caught off guard or overwhelmed by his opponent, allowing him to win more often. He also no longer panics during battles, remaining calm and confident while guiding his Pokémon. This is especially shown in ''[[HZ068|Into a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!]]'' where he effortlessly commanded his {{p|Crocalor}} whenever he was scared or distressed against [[Lucius's Moltres]]. However, Roy will still struggle to focus during a battle if something is genuinely weighing on his mind, as shown in ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', when Liko went missing, as he and Dot were unable to put a one hundred percent into their battle against the [[Explorers]] because they were worried about her safety.

Roy has shown to be somewhat of an amateur artist. His artistic ability is displayed whenever he crafted cardboard cutouts of Pokémon for training purposes as shown in ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'' and in ''[[HZ037|Fuecoco…Becomes a Crook?!]]'', as well as when he and Fuecoco presented an impressive {{p|Charizard}} sculpture that represented their respective dreams during the [[Artazon Art Festival]]. This has allowed him to form a close mentor-student relationship with Brassius and even gain the respect of [[Hassel]]. His artistic nature is even shown in battle as seen in ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'' when he combined his Fuecoco's moves with the moves of Brassius's {{p|Dolliv}}, creating a spectacular display. Additionally, his fondness and appreciation for art also stretches to the works of other people, like when he was the first to compliment Brassius’s Black Rayquaza sculpture in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and…]]'', or when he moved his battle against [[Coral]] outside in ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'' to prevent the other students' artworks from getting burnt during their fight.

[[File:Roy and Lucario Aura.png|thumb|left|250px|Roy connecting with his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} through [[aura]]]]
As early as ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'', Roy has displayed an eagerness for taking photos on his [[Rotom Phone]], wanting to capture special moments with his friends and Pokémon during his journey. This was later emphasized in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', when he and Fuecoco looked back fondly at different photos that were taken up until that point, with Roy even getting another photo alongside his Pokémon partners and the wild Pokémon he befriended on [[Glaseado Mountain]] in the same episode.

Since losing Friede, the Rising Volt Tacklers disbanding after being framed by [[Spinel]], and his year training in [[Kalos]], Roy has noticeably matured, as he is much calmer and reserved, but still maintains his adventurous spirit. While he still pursues strength, he has developed a more principled and mission-focused demeanor and prioritizing protecting others over pursuing strength for the sake of it. Liko comments on how he appears more dependable than before. However, his relationship with his would-be rival Ult is tenuous at best: while Roy can get along with him, respects Ult's skill as a Trainer and tolerates his presence at times, he finds Ult to be a nuisance and a liability who will only get in the way of his personal missions, and Roy's actions around him suggest he doesn't want to put up with him, even going so far as to keep him in the dark as to his reason for pursuing the Black Rayquaza and forcefully dragging Liko away from him when he goes on tirades about power. Roy also would be at odds with Ult and teases him. Despite this, Roy does have a close friendship with Ult and tries to keep him out of trouble. Roy does show concern for Ult and doesn't want to see him get hurt. Although, as time passed, Roy's friendship with Ult has shown improvement, as they clash less and are more supportive to each other.

After the Rising Volt Tacklers reformed in ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', Roy helps Captain Pikachu in making decisions during Friede's absence, as he and the rest of his teammates find out that he is still alive but in hiding from the Explorers. Roy also has help in Liko and Dot for making decisions for the group's destinations because the three of them are the reason the team reformed and Ult joining the group as their newest member. In addition, Roy has been flying the Brave Olivine, as Murdock taught him in ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'' and has been doing so ever since. When Friede return in [[HZ121]], Roy was willing to give leadership back to him and didn't have to worry about the burden of being in charge. However, after having a battle with Friede in the [[HZ122|next episode]], Roy has come to accept being the leader of the reformed Rising Volt Tacklers, but knows that his best friends, Pokémon, and the rest of his teammates are there to help him. He is also learning on how to maintain the Brave Olivine from [[Orla]], as seen in [[HZ123]].

During his training with [[Drayton]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Roy learned to become more relaxed even in the heat of battle as before he would get very worked up and thus leave him unable to think about the next move and he would panic slightly about what to do next. This trait partially lead to his defeat by Drayton in [[HZ116]], but using what he learned from Drayton he won the rematch in [[HZ119]] with his Crocalor evolving into {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} in the process. Roy's development in being relax in battle is shown in [[HZ125]], when he stayed calm and found an opening during his battle against Moltres.

In [[HZ131]], it's revealed that Roy isn't able to properly use or harness Aura for his Lucario to have access to its new Mega Evolution, despite being able to read Lucario's movements in ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'' though his and Crocalor's Aura.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Roy party.png|thumb|250px|Roy's current [[party]]]]
Roy's team consists mainly of gluttons, which is a trait their Trainer's also has, who had problems in the past, usually involving some form of insecurity: {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} was initially embarrassed of singing in front of others and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}} was scared of heights. However, through his unorthodox methods, he was able to help his Pokémon overcome them and, by doing so, allowed them to truly grow. In their first stages, they used to look up to [[Friede's Charizard]] and [[Captain Pikachu]], respectively, due to their shared types. His Pokémon all share Roy's eagerness for battling, as they don't give up until the end.

Furthermore, his Pokémon seemed to take on a particular role on the team as they developed: Skeledirge and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} are Roy's main {{pkmn|battle}}rs, with Lucario's [[Mega Evolution]] in particular acting as the team's power equalizer against tougher opponents, while Kilowattrel is the secondary battler, although it mainly acts as aerial support. When Captain Pikachu was traveling with Roy, he often contributed in tough battles with his greater experience and power. Roy's Pokémon seem to have a tight knit bond with each other and especially work well together as a unit due to their extensive training in [[Kalos]].

==Trivia ==
* Roy was originally designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] before being adapted for the {{pkmn|animated series}} by the series' character designers.<ref name=anipoke20230303>[https://twitter.com/anipoke_PR/status/1631603322170769409 Tweet by アニメ「ポケットモンスター」公式 (@anipoke_PR).] Posted on March 3, 2023.</ref><ref name=LikoRoyConcept>[https://natalie.mu/comic/gallery/news/515226/2010334 Concept art on Natalie] (the concept art's file name is "riko_roy_sugimori.jpg")</ref>
* Roy has a stylized {{p|Unown}} “R” on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
* Roy is the first male main character:
** To keep his Japanese name in the English dub of the animated series.
** To own a Pokémon that debuted before him, as {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} debuted one episode before [[HZ003|Roy's debut]].
* Roy is the first main human character since {{an|Cilan}} to not debut in the first episode of his series.
* Roy is the first main character to:
** Have obtained a [[first partner Pokémon]] as their first Pokémon in their home region since {{an|Serena}}, who obtained her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} in ''[[XY004|A Shocking Cheeky Friendship!]]'', 435 episodes earlier.
** Catch a [[Shiny Pokémon]] offscreen.
** Become the leader of an established team.
** Own more than one Shiny Pokémon.
* All of Roy's Pokémon have been obtained in different [[region]]s: {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} in [[Kanto]], {{TP|Roy|Wattrel}} in [[Paldea]], {{TP|Roy|Lucario}} in [[Kalos]], and [[Black Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] in [[Johto]].
** Additionally, all of Roy’s Pokémon were recurring [[wild Pokémon]] at some point, never being caught in the same episode that that he encountered them for the first time. While Lucario [[HZ089|debuted]] under his ownership, it later appeared in [[Episode: Mega Evolution|three episodes]] set in the past and depicting it as a wild Pokémon before its capture.
*** This makes Roy the only main character all of whose Pokémon have chronologically appeared in at least one episode before being caught.
* Roy is the first main character other than {{Ash}} to be able to use more than one battle technique.
* Roy is the first [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] member to defeat a [[Gym Leader]] in a [[Pokémon battle]].
* Roy is the only member of the Rising Volt Tacklers to have:
** Shiny Pokémon.
** A Pokémon who was introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[Raihan]], one of the [[Gym Leader]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, who is named "Roy" in those languages. His name was also changed in the Korean localization of the animated series, presumably due to a naming conflict with [[James]], who is named "Roy" in that language.
* When {{Tera}}stallizing his {{TP|Roy|Skeledirge}} and {{TP|Roy|Kilowattrel}}, Roy uses the phrase '''sparkle, gem of dreams''' (Japanese: '''輝け、夢の結晶''' ''shine bright, crystallization of our dreams'').
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] his {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, Roy uses the phrase '''seize your true power and go above and beyond''' (Japanese: '''真なる力を掴んで超えろ！''' ''Grasp true power and go beyond!'').
* Roy's in-game [[Trainer ID number]] is 230512, the Japanese air date of ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]''.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to track down Sprigatito. After they found her, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence, which resulted in a [[Black Rayquaza]] being released from the Poké Ball and quickly forcing the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede, Liko, Roy, and [[Ludlow]] went to an island to check out a suspicious watchtower, after they [[HZ043|had just learned]] the Explorers were planning to summon and capture the Black Rayquaza. Friede went in first, only to realize it was a trap set by Spinel in order to keep him at bay while the plan rolled out somewhere else. Due to the small space, he sent out Captain Pikachu against his opponent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite initially struggling due to Umbreon's {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} countering Pikachu's physical attacks, they managed to escape after craftily forming a plan to use said moves in their favor. Friede arrived at the correct place in the [[HZ045|following episode]], only to witness as Rayquaza was sent crashing into the Brave Olivine after a Self-Destruct from Coral's Glalie. Once the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza. Amethio soon joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
While Liko, Roy, and Dot were undergoing [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course, Friede followed a hunch back to his old workplace, [[Exceed]]. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he asked the company's director and his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Upon reuniting with his old colleague [[Yanga]] and discovering that his access to the database had been blocked as he tried to look for the Treasure of Eternity, Friede decided to check on the vault where the mineral was being kept. He managed to barely sneak in, only to find an empty vault labeled "[[Laquium]]", and quickly made his escape. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Friede learned from Liko's first-hand experience about the actual power of Laquium and relayed the little information he had to the children.

Before leaving Naranja Academy, following the conclusion of their Tera Training, the children had been informed by [[Raifort]] about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. They arrived in Kitakami in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'' and participated in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]] while gathering information. While there, [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}} caught Friede's attention, which led to her constantly challenging him through the night, including to a battle, which ended in Friede's victory. Later, Carmine told the Rising Volt Tacklers that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Over the next days, Friede accompanied Liko, Roy, and Dot as they travelled to the Crystal Pool in ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', met Briar in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', searched around [[Tengu Mountain]] for [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' and ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', and learned about the original Explorers through Diana and [[Rystal]] in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of this World!]]''.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a wild Pokémon unrelated to the Six Heroes. Their continued search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in [[Area Zero]]. While Friede was easily granted permission to enter, the children had to prove themselves in battle against [[Geeta]] first. Then, they searched around Area Zero for Entei until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Much like in the battle against Entei, Friede teamed up with Liko, Roy, and Dot to face off against Gouging Fire and, in the [[HZ082|following episode]], the Black Rayquaza.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Friede and the young members finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel, whose tricky strategy of swapping {{Abilities}} managed to throw off him for a while before he outsmarted him with pure intuition. Despite his victory, Captain Pikachu and Charizard were left exhausted, which allowed for the Laquium mist to affect them in [[HZ087|following episode]], forcing Friede to recall them and only watch from the sidelines as Liko, Roy, and Dot, later joined by Amethio, fought against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon faded away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Urged to flee by Rayquaza, Friede aided the children in escaping, but they got caught in a heavy gust of wind as they attempted to board the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown.

The Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Friede before the area around Laqua got closed off by the Explorers, but did not manage to find him. His fate after this incident was only revealed in [[HZ122]], after he and his crew reunited, a year later. According to him, Charizard managed to save him from the fall, and, while in the air, he came to the realization that Laqua resembled the crater of a meteor crash. Friede collected some samples from the soil and then traveled all the way to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]] to meet with {{an|Steven Stone}} and confirm his suspicions. Following this, he headed to [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] in order to go to space and learn about the extraterrestrial origin of Laquium first-hand. During his training period, he befriended and caught a {{p|Starmie}}, which he nicknamed Instructor Starmie, obtained a [[Mega Ring]], and became a user of [[Mega Evolution]] with Charizard and Starmie. Before he left the planet, Friede sent a message to the Rising Volt Tacklers' app, but since the group was disbanded, the message wasn't found until ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a month after it was sent, confirming to them that he and Charizard had managed to survive the fall, but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited]]
In [[HZ121]], Friede suddenly contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers, informing he was on his way back from space. His returning trip, however, did not go according to plan, with the returning module going off-trajectory and the built-in parachutes failing to work. The Rising Volt Tacklers at the Brave Olivine acted quickly, predicting the exact location of his fall and slowing the module down with [[move]]s from all Pokémon, but this inadvertently pushed it away from the airship. At this moment, Captain Pikachu rushed in and, due to Pagogo's [[Terastal energy]], Terastallized into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], allowing him to catch the module and bring it back. Friede reunited with Captain Pikachu and his friends. He also introduces Instructor Starmie to everyone.

In [[HZ122]], Friede learned about the Rising Volt Tacklers' temporary disbandment, met [[Ult]] for the first time, and got caught up in the new developments regarding Laquium and Pagogo. Then, Friede challenged Roy to a battle in order to test his resolve as the new founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, claiming that, if Roy lost, the group would be disbanded. After both sides Terastallized, [[Roy's Skeledirge]] managed to win over his Charizard, which officially made Roy the leader of Rising Volt Tacklers. As night fell, Friede told his teammates he needed to travel to Hoenn, in order to pass by Mossdeep Space Center and have Devon Corporation analyze the data he gathered while in space, and gave Roy a briefcase containing something that would be useful to Rayquaza, before leaving on the back of his Mega Charizard Y.

In [[HZ130]], Friede contacted the team after leaving Devon Corporation once more, informing them that he was finished with his research and would be ready to reunite with them after one more errand. In [[HZ131|the next episode]], Friede showed and entrusted his Laquium research to Yanga before encountering [[Master Mayonnaise]], who had started following him out of fascination towards his Mega Starmie. After finding out they're both acquaintances of Roy, they went to meet with the team together. After observing a battle between Roy and Master Mayonnaise, Friede joined the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the newly upgraded Brave Olivine as they headed to Galar to meet Diana.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name. However, Friede didn't mind being called "''Master'' Friede" by [[Ult]].

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and [[Wy-Yes]]. However, Friede is very fond of the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, and does what he can to help them through their goals. Upon seeing Roy's growth in the past year and having a battle with him in [[HZ122]], Friede acknowledge him as the teams new leader and equal.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past. As time passed, Friede has become more open to his teammates.

===Pokémon===

Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon, typically viewed as leader figures by the younger Pokémon. He also has a tendency to give titles to his Pokemon, such as Captain Pikachu and Instructor Starmie.

Recognizing Starmie's desire to travel into space as well, Friede allowed it to train alongside him. The two became close, which led to Friede catching it and [[Nickname|nicknaming]] it "Instructor Starmie" due to how much he learnt from it during his training.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Mezastar]]===
Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. In the [[Gorgeous Star set 1 (Mezastar)|first Gorgeous Star series]], as part of a tie-in with the animated series, [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] [[Liko]], [[Roy]], Friede or [[Explorers]] Admin [[Amethio]], could randomly challenge the player as a Trainer and Battle opponent.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Friede.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede prior to forming the Rising Volt Tacklers]]
Friede grew up somewhere in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] with his childhood friend [[Orla]] and had {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]]. After Orla moved to [[Slateport City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region, Friede finished growing up in Kanto and was taught by [[Lucca]]. He came to know the [[Roy's grandfather|elder]] on an [[Roy's hometown|island]] in Kanto as he looked after him. Also, Friede met [[Ludlow]] and came to see him as a mentor. Friede eventually became a [[Pokémon Professor]], after quitting his job at [[Exceed]] because he didn't want to be cooped up in a lab and lost the passion for researching, and began to live the carefree life with Ludlow on his [[fishing]] boat.

As revealed in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', Friede was in the [[Paldea]] region with Ludlow when Lucca introduced him to a [[Flying Pikachu]], reigniting his passion for research. Friede eventually managed to convince Pikachu to become partners with him and traveled to Hoenn, where he had Orla convert Ludlow's fishing boat into an airship, which Friede named the [[Brave Olivine]]. Once the job was done, Orla and Ludlow joined Friede as the founding members of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], with [[Captain Pikachu|Pikachu]] serving as the airship's figurehead captain.

Later, Friede met [[Murdock]], [[Wy-Yes]], and [[Mollie]] as they joined the Rising Volt Tacklers. Sometime after Wy-Yes left to become a journalist, Friede met Murdock's niece, [[Dot]], as he asked her for help in making an app for the team, which she accepted and joined the team. One day, Friede was contacted by Lucca as she asked him to bring her daughter [[Liko]], who was attending [[Indigo Academy]] in Kanto, to Paldea and protect her during the journey there.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Friede and Amethio rivalry.png|250px|thumb|Friede's rivalry with Amethio]]
Friede debuted in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. He was first seen coming to Liko's rescue on his Charizard's back after she was confronted by [[Amethio]]. His Charizard went up against [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], but the confrontation ended abruptly after they witnessed the power Liko's mysterious pendant held. After rescuing her and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from falling in [[HZ002|the next episode]], Friede flew her back to the [[Brave Olivine]] and introduced them to the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers. The [[Explorers]] soon attacked the ship, and Friede challenged Amethio to a battle, this time using [[Captain Pikachu]] against Amethio's Ceruledge, only for the battle to be cut short by Liko. After Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a {{m|Leafage}} strong enough to break the barrier around the battlefield, Friede and Liko watched powerlessly as the Explorers fled, kidnapping Sprigatito in the process.

In ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', Friede and some of the Rising Volt Tacklers got together to search for Liko's Sprigatito. When [[Murdock]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} found [[Onia]] shopping, Friede and Liko chased her back to a warehouse. There, he clashed against Amethio once again; this time, however, as a distraction to allow for Liko and Rockruff to be able to track down Sprigatito. After they found her, Friede and Liko made their escape. At the end of the day, Friede confirmed that Liko's mother asked the group to protect Liko and they decide to team up to uncover the mysteries surrounding Liko's pendant.

In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede spotted a familiar island off the coast of Kanto and docked the Brave Olivine for maintenance to be done on the airship. In order to gather materials, he sought the alder, but left empty-handed. In the [[HZ005|next]] [[HZ006|episodes]], Friede confronted Amethio once again on the island's shore. He managed to stall the Explorers's admin with Charizard, but got distracted for a moment, allowing his opponent to launch an assault on Liko, whose pendant activated at the right time to protect her. As the battle went on, Liko's pendant and Roy's [[Ancient Poké Ball]] reacted to each other's presence, which resulted in a [[Black Rayquaza]] being released from the Poké Ball and quickly forcing the Explorers to retreat with a {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', Friede set up a special training session for Liko and Roy after being moved by their determination to get stronger. For the newly-recruited Rising Volt Tacklers to win, they only needed to land a single hit on his Pikachu, which proved to be much more difficult than it initially seemed due to his {{m|Double Team}}. After a break, he encouraged them both to battle against each other in order to see how much they've grown after the training.
[[File:Friede and Lucca.png|thumb|250px|left|Friede and Lucca]]
In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after finding out there was a communication issue around their area, Friede went out with his Pikachu and Charizard and he soon found a {{p|Magneton}} using its magnetic field. Friede scared it away with his Pikachu, after that he was able to get a call from Liko, asking him if he could get water for the {{Berries}} that they planted, so he brought [[Ludlow]] with him to use his {{p|Quagsire}}'s {{m|Rain Dance}}. Friede later went to the [[Artazon]]'s library to find information about the Ancient Poké Ball. Coincidentally, he met his former homeroom teacher<ref>https://x.com/anipoke_PR/status/1789460483508260947?t=4BnStqkVp1nrKLTEclpsrQ&s=19</ref> [[Lucca]], whose {{p|Squawkabilly}} gave him a hint that Liko's grandmother [[Diana]] was currently in [[Galar]].

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Friede dispersed a group of Magneton disturbing the connection around the Brave Olivine. Fending them off, he restored the connection and left to pursue one of the Magneton. However, this ended up being a lure into an ambush by [[Spinel]], who remotely ordered his Pokémon to attack Friede's Charizard. Driven into a corner, Friede was forced to reveal his [[Tera Orb]], {{Tera}}stallizing his Charizard and turning the odds enough to force Spinel's Pokémon to retreat.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Friede arrived with Liko and Roy to the [[Galar Mine]] to look for the Black Rayquaza, but got separated from them. While looking for Liko and Roy, Friede encountered the Explores and battled Amethio again. During the battle, a {{TP|Lucius|Galarian|Moltres}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball appeared. However, when Captain Pikachu got injured during the battle, Friede stayed to battle the Explores while Liko and Roy left with his partner in order for him to recover. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Friede met up with Captain Pikachu, Liko, and Roy at [[Motostoke]]'s [[Pokémon Center]]. After his Charizard recovered from his injures, Friede and the group decided to go back to battle Moltres again in order to calm it down. They succeeded and Moltres returned to its Ancient Poké Ball.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Friede, Liko, and Roy arrived at [[Hammerlocke]] in order to find an [[ancient castle|castle]] that [[Diana]], Liko's grandmother, was at. Through her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, Friede and his friends were able to find her. They hung out at the castle until the Explorers, who have been following them, arrived at their location. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], as Diana stalled the enemy group, Friede took Liko and Roy through the castle's underground passage and instructed them to stay at a safe place while he climbed up the tower and tried estabilishing contact with the Brave Olivine. Soon, he was confronted by Amethio once more, and another battle of Charizard versus Ceruledge ensued. Despite initially attacking more carefully and from a distance this time, Amethio tricked them into activating Ceruledge's Weak Armor, which increased its speed again and allowed it to land a flurry of {{m|Night Slash}}es. Seemingly overwhelmed and about to be hit by a finishing {{m|Psycho Cut}}, Friede Terastallized Charizard into a Dark type, rendering the opposing attack useless, and finished off the battle by defeating Ceruledge with a supereffective {{m|Tera Blast}}. After [[Coral]] set off her {{p|Glalie}}'s {{m|Self-Destruct}}, Friede and his Pokémon managed to barely escape the explosion and reunited with the Rising Volt Tacklers.
[[File:Friede Amethio HZ045.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Amethio joining forces to battle Black Rayquaza]]
In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Friede took a job assignment from his friend [[Shine]], in order to raise money for supplies, with Liko and Roy accompany him. Their task was to find his {{p|Bramblin}}, which blew away from him, and they were informed that a group of {{OBP|Pokémon hunters|HZ035}} were operating near the area. Although they were able to find Bramblin a few times, Friede and his friends failed to keep at one place, which led the Tumbleweed Pokémon getting captured by the Pokémon Hunters. Fortunately, Friede and his friends efforts helped save Bramblin, as it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Brambleghast}}, and defeated the Pokémon Hunters. After brining Brambleghast back to Shine and bringing in the Pokémon Hunters into the authorities, Friede was able to get paid, which will help the Rising Volt Tacklers get supplies for their return journey to Paldea.

In ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', Friede, Liko, Roy, and [[Ludlow]] went to an island to check out a suspicious watchtower, after they [[HZ043|had just learned]] the Explorers were planning to summon and capture the Black Rayquaza. Friede went in first, only to realize it was a trap set by Spinel in order to keep him at bay while the plan rolled out somewhere else. Due to the small space, he sent out Captain Pikachu against his opponent's {{p|Umbreon}}. Despite initially struggling due to Umbreon's {{m|Foul Play}} and {{m|Reflect}} countering Pikachu's physical attacks, they managed to escape after craftily forming a plan to use said moves in their favor. Friede arrived at the correct place in the [[HZ045|following episode]], only to witness as Rayquaza was sent crashing into the Brave Olivine after a Self-Destruct from Coral's Glalie. Once the Explorers retreated, Friede joined Liko, Roy, and Dot in battling Rayquaza. Amethio soon joined the fray and teamed up with Friede, with them Terastallizing Ceruledge and Charizard, respectively, but were eventually defeated by a devastating {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
[[File:Friede Yanga HZ054.png|250px|left|thumb|Friede investigating the Treasure of Eternity with [[Yanga]]]]
While Liko, Roy, and Dot were undergoing [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course, Friede followed a hunch back to his old workplace, [[Exceed]]. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', he asked the company's director and his former boss, [[Cervantis]], about the "Treasure of Eternity", suspecting a connection to Terapagos, but the man was unable to give him satisfying answers. Upon reuniting with his old colleague [[Yanga]] and discovering that his access to the database had been blocked as he tried to look for the Treasure of Eternity, Friede decided to check on the vault where the mineral was being kept. He managed to barely sneak in, only to find an empty vault labeled "[[Laquium]]", and quickly made his escape. In ''[[HZ065|Liko and Amethio]]'', Friede learned from Liko's first-hand experience about the actual power of Laquium and relayed the little information he had to the children.

Before leaving Naranja Academy, following the conclusion of their Tera Training, the children had been informed by [[Raifort]] about [[Briar]], a Terapagos researcher currently stationed in the land of [[Kitakami]], so the Rising Volt Tacklers decided to head there next. They arrived in Kitakami in ''[[HZ069|Roy is Crocalor, and Crocalor is Roy!]]'' and participated in the [[Countryside Harvest Festival]] while gathering information. While there, [[Carmine]]'s {{p|Sinistcha}} caught Friede's attention, which led to her constantly challenging him through the night, including to a battle, which ended in Friede's victory. Later, Carmine told the Rising Volt Tacklers that Briar was at the [[Crystal Pool]]. Over the next days, Friede accompanied Liko, Roy, and Dot as they travelled to the Crystal Pool in ''[[HZ070|Tinkatink's Hammer Wasn't Made in a Day]]'', met Briar in ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', searched around [[Tengu Mountain]] for [[Lucius's Kleavor]] in ''[[HZ072|The Search for Kleavor!]]'' and ''[[HZ073|Kleavor the Solitary Warrior]]'', and learned about the original Explorers through Diana and [[Rystal]] in ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'' and ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of this World!]]''.

After following leads from [[Wy-Yes]] and [[Siskel]], Friede and the young Rising Volt Tacklers found what was presumed to be Lucius's {{p|Entei}} in ''[[HZ078|Entei's Fierce Battle Cry!]]'', in an archipelago off the [[Olivine City]] coast. Although they failed to defeat it, Entei still recognized their strength, but was revealed to be a wild Pokémon unrelated to the Six Heroes. Their continued search for Lucius's Entei led them to Paldea's {{pal|Pokémon League}} building in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', after Briar notified them about recent sightings of an Entei in [[Area Zero]]. While Friede was easily granted permission to enter, the children had to prove themselves in battle against [[Geeta]] first. Then, they searched around Area Zero for Entei until it decided to appear before them in ''[[HZ081|The Pillar of Fire]]'', revealing itself to actually be a {{TP|Lucius|Gouging Fire}}. Much like in the battle against Entei, Friede teamed up with Liko, Roy, and Dot to face off against Gouging Fire and, in the [[HZ082|following episode]], the Black Rayquaza.

With the Six Heroes gathered, the Rising Volt Tacklers headed towards Laqua, guided by Rayquaza. Friede and the young members finally arrived there in ''[[HZ085|The Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!]]'' and were ambushed by the Explorers, who were following them for a while. In ''[[HZ086|The Rising Volt Tacklers vs. The Explorers!]]'', Friede had a [[Double Battle]] against Spinel, whose tricky strategy of swapping {{Abilities}} managed to throw off him for a while before he outsmarted him with pure intuition. Despite his victory, Captain Pikachu and Charizard were left exhausted, which allowed for the Laquium mist to affect them in [[HZ087|following episode]], forcing Friede to recall them and only watch from the sidelines as Liko, Roy, and Dot, later joined by Amethio, fought against [[Gibeon]]'s [[White Zygarde]].
[[File:Friede disappearance.png|thumb|250px|Friede and {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} disappearing to parts unknown]]
In ''[[HZ089|Where the Adventure Leads]]'', after Pagogo, in its {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}}, purified Laqua with the help of the Six Heroes, Lucius and Gibeon faded away. Though the situation seemed over, Spinel used some Laquium mist he had stored on the Six Heroes, causing them to go berserk, except for Rayquaza. The rampaging heroes began attacking both friend and foe, causing the earth below everyone to become unstable and collapse. Urged to flee by Rayquaza, Friede aided the children in escaping, but they got caught in a heavy gust of wind as they attempted to board the Brave Olivine. At the last moment, Friede managed to get Captain Pikachu onto the ship before he and Charizard were blown off, as they are sent tumbling back towards Laqua, leaving their status unknown.

The Rising Volt Tacklers searched for Friede before the area around Laqua got closed off by the Explorers, but did not manage to find him. His fate after this incident was only revealed in [[HZ122]], after he and his crew reunited, a year later. According to him, Charizard managed to save him from the fall, and, while in the air, he came to the realization that Laqua resembled the crater of a meteor crash. Friede collected some samples from the soil and then traveled all the way to [[Hoenn]]'s [[Devon Corporation]] to meet with {{an|Steven Stone}} and confirm his suspicions. Following this, he headed to [[Mossdeep City]]'s [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] in order to go to space and learn about the extraterrestrial origin of Laquium first-hand. During his training period, he befriended and caught a {{p|Starmie}}, which he nicknamed Instructor Starmie, obtained a [[Mega Ring]], and became a user of [[Mega Evolution]] with Charizard and Starmie. Before he left the planet, Friede sent a message to the Rising Volt Tacklers' app, but since the group was disbanded, the message wasn't found until ''[[HZ100|We Are the Rising Volt Tacklers!]]'', a month after it was sent, confirming to them that he and Charizard had managed to survive the fall, but were hiding somewhere due to heavy surveillance by the Explorers.
[[File:Rising Volt Tacklers reunited.png|250px|thumb|left|The Rising Volt Tacklers reunited]]
In [[HZ121]], Friede suddenly contacted the Rising Volt Tacklers, informing he was on his way back from space. His returning trip, however, did not go according to plan, with the returning module going off-trajectory and the built-in parachutes failing to work. The Rising Volt Tacklers at the Brave Olivine acted quickly, predicting the exact location of his fall and slowing the module down with [[move]]s from all Pokémon, but this inadvertently pushed it away from the airship. At this moment, Captain Pikachu rushed in and, due to Pagogo's [[Terastal energy]], Terastallized into a {{t|Flying}} [[type]], allowing him to catch the module and bring it back. Friede reunited with Captain Pikachu and his friends. He also introduces Instructor Starmie to everyone.

In [[HZ122]], Friede learned about the Rising Volt Tacklers' temporary disbandment, met [[Ult]] for the first time, and got caught up in the new developments regarding Laquium and Pagogo. Then, Friede challenged Roy to a battle in order to test his resolve as the new founder of the Rising Volt Tacklers, claiming that, if Roy lost, the group would be disbanded. After both sides Terastallized, [[Roy's Skeledirge]] managed to win over his Charizard, which officially made Roy the leader of Rising Volt Tacklers. As night fell, Friede told his teammates he needed to travel to Hoenn, in order to pass by Mossdeep Space Center and have Devon Corporation analyze the data he gathered while in space, and gave Roy a briefcase containing something that would be useful to Rayquaza, before leaving on the back of his Mega Charizard Y.

In [[HZ130]], Friede contacted the team after leaving Devon Corporation once more, informing them that he was finished with his research and would be ready to reunite with them after one more errand. In [[HZ131|the next episode]], Friede showed and entrusted his Laquium research to Yanga before encountering [[Master Mayonnaise]], who had started following him out of fascination towards his Mega Starmie. After finding out they're both acquaintances of Roy, they went to meet with the team together. After observing a battle between Roy and Master Mayonnaise, Friede joined the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers aboard the newly upgraded Brave Olivine as they headed to Galar to meet Diana.

===Character===
[[File:Friede Captain Pikachu Donuts.png|250px|thumb|Friede and Captain Pikachu enjoying Murdock's donuts]]
Friede appears to be a young and competent {{pkmn|Trainer}}, albeit rather distracted and forgetful, as he forgets to mention certain things to his friends sometimes. Despite this, Friede is quite protective of his team, whether putting himself in danger to protect the ship or protecting his teammates from opponents, especially the younger members. In ''[[HZ004|The Treasure After the Storm!]]'', Friede has stated that he doesn't like to be acknowledged as a [[Pokémon Professor]]. If someone were to say his name in any type of formality, he would rather change the subject. When he introduced [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] as official members of the Rising Volt Tacklers, they both said their thanks and both referred him as "''Mister'' Friede", which Friede quickly corrects them, preferring to be called simply by his name. However, Friede didn't mind being called "''Master'' Friede" by [[Ult]].

Friede also has a more immature and silly side, like when he eats the donuts made by [[Murdock]] for his niece [[Dot]] together with [[Captain Pikachu]], or when he is tricked by a merchant to buy his wares to remember two people who asked him about a [[Black Rayquaza]], however without getting any useful information. He also does not appear to take [[Amethio]] seriously, often making snarky remarks before their routinely battles. Nonetheless, he is a formidable Trainer with access to {{Tera}}stallization and has shown to be very wise, such as in ''[[HZ007|Special Training with Cap!]]'', when he offered advice and training for the younger members of the Rising Volt Tacklers in order to become great Pokémon Trainers.

Friede respects [[Lucca]] as she was his homeroom teacher and had done a lot for him, as he won't have met Captain Pikachu, regain his passion for researching and formed the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] without her help and guidance. Friede also seems to be close with [[Orla]], due to being friends with her since childhood. Although they were apart for many years, Friede's friendship with Orla remain strong, as he immediately went to her for help in making an airship and accepted her request in joining him on his adventures. In addition, Friede has a very good relationship with [[Ludlow]] and sees him as a mentor. Friede seems to be great friends with Murdock and enjoys hanging out with him. Friede even gets along really well with Mollie and [[Wy-Yes]]. However, Friede is very fond of the younger members, especially Liko and Roy, and does what he can to help them through their goals. Upon seeing Roy's growth in the past year and having a battle with him in [[HZ122]], Friede acknowledge him as the teams new leader and equal.

Friede doesn't like to talk about his past and his life before forming the Rising Volt Tacklers, as seen in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', when he didn't give the younger members any answer as to how Captain Pikachu was flying during a battle. However, after Orla told everyone that he was going to share as to how he met Captain Pikachu and the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers with everyone, Friede gave in and decided to open up to his teammates about his past. As time passed, Friede has become more open to his teammates.

===Pokémon===

Friede's team consists of strong and independent Pokémon, typically viewed as leader figures by the younger Pokémon. He also has a tendency to give titles to his Pokemon, such as Captain Pikachu and Instructor Starmie.

This listing is of Friede's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|HZ}}:

Recognizing Starmie's desire to travel into space as well, Friede allowed it to train alongside him. The two became close, which led to Friede catching it and [[Nickname|nicknaming]] it "Instructor Starmie" due to how much he learnt from it during his training.

===Accomplishments===
[[File:Pokémon distribution map.png|250px|thumb|The Pokémon distribution map]]
As a [[Pokémon Professor]], Friede worked on some important {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reports.

* '''Pokémon distribution map''': Presented at academic conferences, and converted into an app on the [[Rotom Phone]], if the [[Trainer]] finds a Pokémon that is not listed on the map, the system generates a report on the species found.

Friede, in a version based on the animated series, appeared in [[Pokémon Mezastar]]. In this game, Friede is seen using {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Fuecoco}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, with Sprigatito, Metagross, and Fuecoco being Pokémon that he was not seen using in animation, although it could be a reference to [[Liko's Sprigatito]], {{DL|Orla|Metagross|Orla's Metagross}}, and [[Roy's Fuecoco]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Captain Pikachu also displayed great physical strength when he was able to lift Friede's spaceship with his new Tera Flying typing and managed to land it within the Brave Olivine's Force Field on the Battlefield, showing Captain Pikachu's strength is beyond that of a normal Pikachu.

'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Kitakami]], there is a particular Ursaluna that has a unique [[#Form data|form]] known as '''Bloodmoon Ursaluna'''. Different against Ursaluna, Bloodmoon Ursaluna is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gray pelt around its large, humped back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's [[Evolution]] is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] during a full moon. Its {{a|Bulletproof|resilient physique}} allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna is good at searching for [[item]]s and missing [[Human|people]] using their sense of smell.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for him being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{ga|Arceus}}. He is one of the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} who resides in [[Crimson Mirelands]], watched over by the [[warden]] [[Calaba]]. This special Ursaluna is known to assist humans.

===Forms===
[[File:SV Bloodmoon Ursaluna Sighting.png|thumb|left|250px|Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
A particular Ursaluna has a special form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Known as the "Bloodmoon Beast", it is stated that this Ursaluna is the only one known to exist, and is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ Bloodmoon Ursaluna | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> The name of this unique Ursaluna comes from the distinctive red moon mark on its forehead.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. Its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the right eye's pupil and has what appears to be a scar near the eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the [[Hisui]] region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's [[Timeless Woods]]. It gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights. Bloodmoon Ursaluna can {{m|Blood Moon|unleash the full brunt of its spirit}} from the red moon mark in its forehead.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Blood Moon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mind's Eye}} as an [[Ability]].

* A special [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|Ursaluna]], under the name of the "Bloodmoon Beast" appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Teal Mask]] expansion, appearing as a minor character and boss.

It is a target of [[Perrin]]'s photography.

===Form data===
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is always [[Gender|male]] and its form cannot be changed. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Ursaring}}. Mechanically, other than its shared species, the only traits that Bloodmoon Ursaluna shares with regular Ursaluna are its [[type]] and the ability to produce {{p|Teddiursa}} {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} when {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}}, and therefore the ability to acquire [[Egg Move]]s via [[Mirror Herb]]. Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a [[signature Ability]], {{a|Mind's Eye}}, as its sole [[Ability]], and its [[base stats]], learnable [[move]]s, and [[cry]] are also different from those of regular Ursaluna.

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

==Trivia==
* Ursaluna, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rather than a [[regional form]] to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Since Ursaring is not programmed to evolve in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the only way to obtain a regular Ursaluna with the Scarlet and Violet [[origin mark]] is to transfer a {{p|Teddiursa}} or {{p|Ursaring}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} using {{g|HOME}}, evolve it there, and transfer it back.
* Prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} v3.0.0, if the player had Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], its {{Shiny}} form would be viewable in the [[Pokédex]] if they had a Shiny Ursaluna of any form. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is prevented from being Shiny, this was the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.
** In v3.0.0 onward, the game was hardcoded to prevent this from occurring, making Bloodmoon Ursaluna the only Pokémon prevented from appearing as Shiny in the Pokédex, even when [[cheating]] to obtain it as Shiny or trying to force the Pokédex to display it.
* Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only alternate form of a Pokémon that is not a [[regional form]] to have a separate listing in the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
* Although Teddiursa and regular Ursaluna can learn {{m|Charm}} from [[breeding]] or TM, Bloodmoon Ursaluna cannot learn it by TM. However, it can still learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] with another Pokémon that knows the move.
* A glitch exists within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] where Ursaluna's "happy" and "curious" sounds are replaced by those of {{p|Basculegion}}. The only way to hear its natural "happy" sound is by throwing its [[Poké Ball]] outside of battle with a high enough friendship level. There is no known way to hear its natural "curious" sound.

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the {{wp|lunar eclipse}} phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the moon appearing red in the sky. It also seems to be based on {{wp|onikuma}}, bears that have transformed into yokai after living for an exceptionally long time. Onikuma are known to walk on two legs and continue to grow, reaching sizes much larger than even the largest natural bears.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''luna'' (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Kitakami]], there is a particular Ursaluna that has a unique [[#Form data|form]] but without evolution line known as '''Bloodmoon Ursaluna'''. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gray pelt around its large, humped back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's [[Evolution]] is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] during a full moon. Its {{a|Bulletproof|resilient physique}} allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna is good at searching for [[item]]s and missing [[Human|people]] using their sense of smell.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for him being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{ga|Arceus}}. He is one of the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} who resides in [[Crimson Mirelands]], watched over by the [[warden]] [[Calaba]]. This special Ursaluna is known to assist humans.

===Forms===
[[File:SV Bloodmoon Ursaluna Sighting.png|thumb|left|250px|Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
A particular Ursaluna has a special form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Known as the "Bloodmoon Beast", it is stated that this Ursaluna is the only one known to exist, and is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ Bloodmoon Ursaluna | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> The name of this unique Ursaluna comes from the distinctive red moon mark on its forehead.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. Its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the right eye's pupil and has what appears to be a scar near the eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the [[Hisui]] region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's [[Timeless Woods]]. It gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights. Bloodmoon Ursaluna can {{m|Blood Moon|unleash the full brunt of its spirit}} from the red moon mark in its forehead.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Blood Moon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mind's Eye}} as an [[Ability]].

===NPC appearances===
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an Ursaluna is a supporting character and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that is cared for by the [[Warden]] [[Calaba]]. He a descendant of the Ursaluna that the [[ancient hero]] befriended ages ago in [[Hisui]]an legend.
* A special [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|Ursaluna]], under the name of the "Bloodmoon Beast" appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Teal Mask]] expansion, appearing as a minor character and boss. Originally from Hisui, it one day crossed the sea and ended up drifting ashore into [[Kitakami]]'s [[Timeless Woods]]. Through weathering, unlike a typical [[form change]] or [[Evolution]], it gained the appearance it is known for, adapting the form known as "Bloodmoon" in the Pokédex. It is a target of [[Perrin]]'s photography.

===Form data===
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is always [[Gender|male]] and its form cannot be changed. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Ursaring}}. Mechanically, other than its shared species, the only traits that Bloodmoon Ursaluna shares with regular Ursaluna are its [[type]] and the ability to produce {{p|Teddiursa}} {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} when {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}}, and therefore the ability to acquire [[Egg Move]]s via [[Mirror Herb]]. Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a [[signature Ability]], {{a|Mind's Eye}}, as its sole [[Ability]], and its [[base stats]], learnable [[move]]s, and [[cry]] are also different from those of regular Ursaluna.

====Major appearances====

====Minor appearances====

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

==Trivia==
* Ursaluna, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rather than a [[regional form]] to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Since Ursaring is not programmed to evolve in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the only way to obtain a regular Ursaluna with the Scarlet and Violet [[origin mark]] is to transfer a {{p|Teddiursa}} or {{p|Ursaring}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} using {{g|HOME}}, evolve it there, and transfer it back.
* Prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} v3.0.0, if the player had Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], its {{Shiny}} form would be viewable in the [[Pokédex]] if they had a Shiny Ursaluna of any form. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is prevented from being Shiny, this was the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.
** In v3.0.0 onward, the game was hardcoded to prevent this from occurring, making Bloodmoon Ursaluna the only Pokémon prevented from appearing as Shiny in the Pokédex, even when [[cheating]] to obtain it as Shiny or trying to force the Pokédex to display it.
* Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only alternate form of a Pokémon that is not a [[regional form]] to have a separate listing in the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
* Although Teddiursa and regular Ursaluna can learn {{m|Charm}} from [[breeding]] or TM, Bloodmoon Ursaluna cannot learn it by TM. However, it can still learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] with another Pokémon that knows the move.
* A glitch exists within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] where Ursaluna's "happy" and "curious" sounds are replaced by those of {{p|Basculegion}}. The only way to hear its natural "happy" sound is by throwing its [[Poké Ball]] outside of battle with a high enough friendship level. There is no known way to hear its natural "curious" sound.

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the {{wp|lunar eclipse}} phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the moon appearing red in the sky. It also seems to be based on {{wp|onikuma}}, bears that have transformed into yokai after living for an exceptionally long time. Onikuma are known to walk on two legs and continue to grow, reaching sizes much larger than even the largest natural bears.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''luna'' (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

'''Ursaluna''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガチグマ''' ''Gachiguma'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ursaring}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time-based Evolution|full moon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Teddiursa}}.

In [[Kitakami]], there is a particular Ursaluna that has a unique [[#Form data|form]] known as '''Bloodmoon Ursaluna''', which cannot evolve from Ursaring.

==Biology==
Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a gray pelt around its large, humped back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's [[Evolution]] is believed to have been triggered by {{p|Ursaring}} being exposed to the swampy terrain of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] during a full moon. Its {{a|Bulletproof|resilient physique}} allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna is good at searching for [[item]]s and missing [[Human|people]] using their sense of smell.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for him being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by {{ga|Arceus}}. He is one of the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} who resides in [[Crimson Mirelands]], watched over by the [[warden]] [[Calaba]]. This special Ursaluna is known to assist humans.

===Forms===
[[File:SV Bloodmoon Ursaluna Sighting.png|thumb|left|250px|Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna]]
A particular Ursaluna has a special form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna. Known as the "Bloodmoon Beast", it is stated that this Ursaluna is the only one known to exist, and is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ Bloodmoon Ursaluna | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> The name of this unique Ursaluna comes from the distinctive red moon mark on its forehead.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. Its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the right eye's pupil and has what appears to be a scar near the eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the [[Hisui]] region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's [[Timeless Woods]]. It gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights. Bloodmoon Ursaluna can {{m|Blood Moon|unleash the full brunt of its spirit}} from the red moon mark in its forehead.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Blood Moon}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mind's Eye}} as an [[Ability]].

* A special [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|Ursaluna]], under the name of the "Bloodmoon Beast" appears in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}'s [[The Teal Mask]] expansion, appearing as a minor character and boss. Originally from Hisui, it one day crossed the sea and ended up drifting ashore into [[Kitakami]]'s [[Timeless Woods]]. Through weathering, unlike a typical [[form change]] or [[Evolution]], it gained the appearance it is known for, adapting the form known as "Bloodmoon" in the Pokédex. It is a target of [[Perrin]]'s photography.

===Form data===
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is always [[Gender|male]] and its form cannot be changed. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] from {{p|Ursaring}}. Mechanically, other than its shared species, the only traits that Bloodmoon Ursaluna shares with regular Ursaluna are its [[type]] and the ability to produce {{p|Teddiursa}} {{pkmn|Egg|eggs}} when {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with {{p|Ditto}}, and therefore the ability to acquire [[Egg Move]]s via [[Mirror Herb]]. Bloodmoon Ursaluna has a [[signature Ability]], {{a|Mind's Eye}}, as its sole [[Ability]], and its [[base stats]], learnable [[move]]s, and [[cry]] are also different from those of regular Ursaluna.

====Major appearances====

====Minor appearances====

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

==Trivia==
* Ursaluna, along with {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, are the first [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] that evolve from the original form of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} rather than a [[regional form]] to be introduced since {{p|Sylveon}} in [[Generation VI]].
* Since Ursaring is not programmed to evolve in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the only way to obtain a regular Ursaluna with the Scarlet and Violet [[origin mark]] is to transfer a {{p|Teddiursa}} or {{p|Ursaring}} to {{g|Legends: Arceus}} using {{g|HOME}}, evolve it there, and transfer it back.
* Prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} v3.0.0, if the player had Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], its {{Shiny}} form would be viewable in the [[Pokédex]] if they had a Shiny Ursaluna of any form. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is prevented from being Shiny, this was the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.
** In v3.0.0 onward, the game was hardcoded to prevent this from occurring, making Bloodmoon Ursaluna the only Pokémon prevented from appearing as Shiny in the Pokédex, even when [[cheating]] to obtain it as Shiny or trying to force the Pokédex to display it.
* Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only alternate form of a Pokémon that is not a [[regional form]] to have a separate listing in the Pokémon Guidebook in the mobile version of Pokémon HOME.
* Although Teddiursa and regular Ursaluna can learn {{m|Charm}} from [[breeding]] or TM, Bloodmoon Ursaluna cannot learn it by TM. However, it can still learn the move by holding a [[Mirror Herb]] during a [[picnic]] with another Pokémon that knows the move.
* A glitch exists within [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] where Ursaluna's "happy" and "curious" sounds are replaced by those of {{p|Basculegion}}. The only way to hear its natural "happy" sound is by throwing its [[Poké Ball]] outside of battle with a high enough friendship level. There is no known way to hear its natural "curious" sound.

===Origin===
Ursaluna may be based on the {{wp|Ussuri brown bear}}, a subspecies of the brown bear native to {{wp|Hokkaido}} (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and {{t|Ground}} type may refer to {{wp|Kim-un-kamuy}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like {{wp|Akan, Hokkaido|Yubetsu, Akan-chō}}. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the {{wp|lunar eclipse}} phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the moon appearing red in the sky. It also seems to be based on {{wp|onikuma}}, bears that have transformed into yokai after living for an exceptionally long time. Onikuma are known to walk on two legs and continue to grow, reaching sizes much larger than even the largest natural bears.

====Name origin====
Ursaluna may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''luna'' (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 ''gachirin'' (round moon) and 熊 ''kuma'' (bear).

The world has withered and humans are gone, the only remaining resident is a lone Tangrowth, living alone in the wasteland<ref>[https://pokopia.pokemon.com/en-us/ ''Pokémon Pokopia'' official website]</ref>. Ditto can explore the world and create a cozy environment for Pokémon, rebuilding a desolate world into a charming utopia, one step at a time. Players can befriend Pokémon and take advantage of its moves, such as {{m|Leafage}} from {{p|Bulbasaur}} to grow patches of grass or {{m|Water Gun}} from {{p|Squirtle}} to water dried-up plants.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-pokopia-arriving-in-2026 ''Pokémon Pokopia'' arriving in 2026] - "Ditto can learn moves from other Pokémon and utilize those moves to help build your very own Pokémon paradise. For example, Ditto can use Bulbasaur's Leafage to add greenery to the landscape or Squirtle’s Water Gun to hydrate plants."</ref>

Ditto will also be able to collect different materials to build furniture, structures, and grow vegetables to attract other Pokémon<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Reveals-Two-New-Video-Game-Experiences-Pokemon-Pokopia-and-Pok September 12, 2025 Press Release — ''Pokémon Reveals Two New Video Game Experiences: Pokémon Pokopia and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension'']</ref>.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon game:
** Released exclusively for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]].
** Released via a game-key card for the physical version. Futhermore, it is the first game published by Nintendo to be released with a game-key card.
** Since {{g|Conquest}}, released 14 years earlier, to be developed by [[Koei Tecmo]].
* This is the first spin-off Pokémon game to feature [[Mystery Gift]] functionality.
* The title Poco a Pokémon may originate from a combination of ''poco a poco'' (Spanish or Italian for "little by little") and ''Pokémon.'' The name Pokopia may originate from a combination of ''Pokémon'', ''copy'' (in reference to Ditto) and ''utopia''.

==Blurb==


Continuing their journey, our heroes come across an ad for a Squirtle Firefighting Squad Show. Ash recognizes his Squirtle, the squad’s leader, so he brings out Bulbasaur and Charizard to see their friend. Everyone is excited for the show, and Squirtle is overjoyed when it sees Ash in the audience. But Team Rocket’s actions cause a misunderstanding, and Squirtle is upset when it meets up with Ash and friends. Just when it looks like the friendship is over, a fire breaks out, and our heroes join forces with Squirtle to put out the blaze. Friends again, Ash and Squirtle share a hug before the squad heads to the next town!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}' aimless {{pkmn|journey}} has brought them to a seaside city. Overhearing some children talking about a show, the group decides to go see it, especially once they see a poster that showcases the [[Squirtle Squad]], with [[Ash's Squirtle]] leading them. Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Charizard}}, who are also excited of the chance to get to see their old friend again. Unbeknownst to the group, the Squirtle Squad is now managed by {{TRT}}, who are seeking to profit from the firefighter crew's fame by selling Squirtle Squad-themed merchandise. Once the show starts, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] play the {{wp|pyromania}}c villains while {{MTR}} remotely ignites some controlled fires on the stage, prompting the Squirtle Squad, dressed in superhero costumes, to appear and start spraying water on the fire. Ash cheers for them from the audience, which his Squirtle notices, being happy to see its {{pkmn|Trainer}} again. With the fire extinguished and the villains defeated, Jessie and James switch back to their manager uniforms and start letting children on the stage to meet and greet the Squirtle Squad. As Squirtle poses for photos and greets its fans, it keeps looking for Ash, but fails to spot him. Ash and his friends do join the queue, but by the time they'd be next in line, all the merchandise has been sold out and Team Rocket declares the handshake session is over. Dismayed, Ash and his friends leave. Their departure is noticed by Squirtle, who feels let down by its friends not coming to greet it.

Team Rocket and the Squirtle Squad move to a hotel to eat after a successful show, though Ash's Squirtle is feeling grumpy due its friends seemingly not caring about it. Ash and his friends also arrive at the hotel and try to go greet Squirtle, but Team Rocket, thinking Ash has come to take his Squirtle away, blocks their way. Bulbasaur and Charizard try to greet Squirtle, only for it to grumpily dismiss their greetings. Charizard responds by scorching the Squirtle Squad with {{m|Flamethrower}}, angering Squirtle even more and causing it to attack back. Ash tries to calm the situation down, but only gets caught in the crossfire of [[move]]s. Eventually, {{AP|Pikachu}} feels he's had enough and shocks everyone nearby, causing Bulbasaur and Charizard to storm off and forcing the group to follow them, even if they still don't understand why Squirtle is acting so cold towards them. Both Ash and his Squirtle are left upset that they've parted on bad terms. Figuring that Pikachu was weakened after being caught in the crossfire, Team Rocket decides to use the opportunity to try to nab him.
[[File:Ash party JN141.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's team members for this episode]]
The group stops by at a café to eat, with Ash's attempts to have Bulbasaur and Charizard consider reconciling with Squirtle ending in failure. Hiding nearby, Team Rocket tries to fire a net at Pikachu, only for a gust of wind to blow it onto a {{p|Hariyama}} instead. Ticked off by this, Hariyama flings them into the air. After a brief blastoff, the trio lands on a {{p|Camerupt}}, which sends them blasting off for a second time. Meanwhile, {{an|Brock}} sees an [[Officer Jenny]] accepting a person's request to look for his missing {{p|Venonat}} and rushes to flirt with her, but his moment of romance is cut off by a {{m|Poison Jab}} from {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{an|Misty}} dragging him away by the ear.

In the city's warehouse district, Team Rocket's net has landed on a piece of exposed wire, soon causing it and the nearby warehouse to catch fire. Hearing the hotel workers talking about the fire, the Squirtle Squad rushes to the site and starts using {{m|Water Gun}} on the flames. Arriving on the scene, Ash and his friends help out, too, with Brock assisting Officer Jenny in keeping the nearby crowd under control, Misty using her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}, and {{TP|Misty|Clauncher}} to fight the flames, and Ash using a hose to spray water on the fire as well. Receiving encouragements from Ash, the Squirtle Squad abandons their superhero costumes and dons their usual firefighter jackets before redoubling their efforts. A gust of wind blows the flames towards a neighboring warehouse, which also starts catching fire, so the firefighters focus their attention to it to keep the flames from spreading. Seeing how hard Squirtle is working, Bulbasaur and Charizard also join in, stopping the fire from spreading onto the nearby trees. Just as the situation seems to be getting under control, someone spots a group of Pokémon, including the missing Venonat, on the burning warehouse's rooftop. As such, Ash has Bulbasaur and Squirtle ride Charizard to the rooftop's level, with Squirtle putting out the flames near the trapped Pokémon and Bulbasaur lifting them to safety with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Ash's heroic efforts earn him attention from the crowd, with some children even recognizing him.

Eventually, the fire is put out, and Ash happily hugs his Squirtle, the reason why his Pokémon were fighting earlier not mattering to him anymore. Surprisingly, a second Officer Jenny shows up, revealing that the "managers" had actually taken the Squirtle Squad with them without permission and declaring that the profits from the sold merchandise will be donated to the city and used to rebuild the warehouses. As the Squirtle Squad prepares to depart, Ash expresses his hope to get to {{pkmn|battle}} together with Squirtle again one day, and his partner shares one more hug with him before leaving. Unexpectedly, a group of fans rushes over, but instead of the Squirtle Squad, they're now after Ash, having recognized him as a {{pkmn|Champion}}, and surround him, Brock, and Misty in an excited mob.

* This episode marks the first time {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}} have physically reunited since ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', 763 episodes ago.
* The costumes that the [[Squirtle Squad]] wear in this episode resemble the suits from the ''{{wp|Super Sentai}}'' franchise.
* This is the first episode of ''Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master'' where {{Ash}} has more than one Pokémon from the same [[region]] in his [[party|team]] (not including Pikachu).
** This is also the first episode of ''Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master'' where Ash's World Champion title has been acknowledged by people other than {{ashfr}}.
* [[Shinji Miyazaki]]'s music from the ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' is reused as background music in this episode.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Cacnea}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', 659 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the only appearance of a Cacnea in {{aniseries|PTS}} other than the [[James's Cacnea|one that belonged to]] [[James]].
** This episode also marks the first appearance of a {{p|Spoink}} in any animated series-related media since its cameo in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', almost seven years prior.
* Famous for a recurring running gag, which either {{an|Misty}} or {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} pull {{an|Brock}} away from a girl he's flirting with, this episode marks the first time Brock recieved a double drag by them.

* {{TRT}} performs a variation of their {{motto}} in this episode.
** During the last part of the motto, a fantasy of what appears to be a burning [[Lumiose City]] is shown, with a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Charizard}} appearing in the background, likely referencing {{wp|Godzilla}}.

===Errors===
* When Misty hides behind Brock after being scared by {{p|Venonat}} and turns to sheepishly smirk at him, her mouth can be seen near her underarm for a second.
* In one of the flashbacks of Ash and his [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]], Ash is missing the gold trims on the lower part of his original jacket.
* In the English dub, the closed captions do not include the correct line from the intro, which should say "It's you and me" instead of "Pika".
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, "''{{m|Water Gun|Armatka Wodna}}''" is called "''Wodne Działo''".

===Dub edits===

Mission (Legends: Z-A)

2026-02-17T06:29:37Z

KyleRGiggs: /* Mega Dimension */

'''Missions''' (Japanese: '''ミッション''' ''mission'') are quests in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. There are three distinct classifications of tasks in the game: '''main missions''' (Japanese: '''メインミッション''' ''main mission''), which are main quests required to progress the base game's story, '''hyperspace missions''' (Japanese: '''異次元ミッション''' ''otherdimensional missions''), which are main quests required to progress the story of the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, and '''side missions''' (Japanese: '''サイドミッション''' ''side missions''), which are sidequests that do not play major roles in the main story but offer material rewards to the player.

Each task has several objectives. When the player completes the listed objective, either they will receive new objectives or the task will be marked as complete.

==Main missions==
Main missions are the main story quests in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Main missions are usually completed in sequential order, though occasionally the player will have access to multiple main missions at once that can be completed in any order. Additionally, it is possible to complete Mission 42: To Keep the World in Balance before Mission 39: The Infinite Z-A Royale.

The [[Game credits|credits]] roll at the end of main mission 37; as such, main missions 38-42 are considered postgame. Mission 38: The Future of Lumiose City is the only postgame main mission that is required to be completed in order to unlock the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC. Main mission objectives are visible on the map with a yellow hexagonal symbol.

'''Dracovish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウオノラゴン''' ''Uonoragon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is revived from combining a [[Fossilized Fish]] and a [[Fossilized Drake]], which could be revive as a part of {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctovish}} respectively. It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Dracovish ability.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash's Dracovish awakening a dormant power]]
Dracovish is a hybrid fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It consists of the head of the fish fossil and the back legs and tail of the dino fossil; the head appears to have been mounted on the tip of the tail. The tail region ends abruptly at a circular cutoff. Dracovish's legs are mostly green with two pink stripes. The feet have three red claws. The neck is also mostly green but has a red stripe going up the middle. The stripe is lined with three curved spikes on both sides. Dracovish's head is roughly circular with a rounded triangular plate on the top. On the plate is a red and white region that extends between the eyes. Its mouth has three sharp teeth in the middle. Its eyes are round and have black rectangular pupils. Two fins protrude from the bottom of the jaw.

Dracovish is said to have been the apex predator of its time due to its powerful legs and jaws, and the ability to run at speeds exceeding 40 mph (60 km/h). However, it could not breathe unless it was underwater. Dracovish allegedly went extinct due to overhunting its prey, though this is likely not the case due to it being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct. As seen in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN063|On Land, In the Sea, and to the Future!]]'', Dracovish can run very fast when underwater. [[JN130|It has also been shown]] that Dracovish can awaken a dormant power from within itself that causes the spikes on its chest to become surrounded by a red aura. When in this state, the spikes can be used to bind targets or jab them.

Dracovish and its counterpart {{p|Arctovish}} are [[Signature move|the only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Fishious Rend}}.

{{main|Dracovish (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Dracovish shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Dracovish, Dracozolt, Arctozolt, and Arctovish are the only [[Fossil Pokémon]] to not be {{type|Rock}} or have a [[gender]].
* Dracovish is the only Dragon-type to [[List of Pokémon by shape|consist only of a head and legs]].
* Dracovish, along with the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon, was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1319507626372153344 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on October 23, 2020.</ref>
* In {{aniseries|JN}}, [[Cara Liss]] is the person who gives Dracovish its species name.

===Origin===
Dracovish, like {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}, may be based on the concept of {{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}} in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals' biology. In the case of Dracovish, its bottom half appears to be based mainly on a {{wp|Stegosauria|stegosaurian}} dinosaur, whilst its top half appears to be based mainly on the fish ''{{wp|Dunkleosteus}}'', though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} such as {{wp|coelacanth}}s rather than the fins of ''Dunkleosteus''. The placement of its head on the tip of its tail may be a reference to the first reconstruction of ''{{wp|Elasmosaurus}}''. Dracovish and the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon may also reference the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}.

The Pokédex entries for all the Galarian Fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, more sluggish, and stupider to the point they could not sustain themselves.

Dracovish being unable to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] could be a reference to {{wp|Hybrid (biology)|hybrid}} animals, which are born {{wp|Infertility|infertile}} (unable to produce offspring).

====Name origin====
Dracovish may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:draco|dracō]]'' (Latin for ''dragon''), ''fish'', and possibly ''vicious'' or ''{{wp|Ordovician|Ordovician}}''.

Uonoragon may be a combination of 魚 ''uo'' (fish) and ''dragon''.

'''Arctovish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウオチルドン''' ''Uochilldon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is revived from combining a [[Fossilized Fish]] and a [[Fossilized Dino]], which could be revive as a part of {{p|Arctozolt}} and {{p|Dracovish}} respectively. It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Arctovish is a fish-plesiosaur hybrid fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The plesiosaur half is colored blue and white. Arctovish has a blue tail with a fin on top. The flippers are colored blue with white patches on the end and with white spots. The fish half is applied upside down. It has a round blue head with black rectangle pupils, and the mouth is located on top of its head. It has white fins connected to its fish head.

It has trouble eating due to its mouth being on top of its head, even though it captures prey by freezing its surroundings. The skin on Arctovish's face is impervious to attacks. It allegedly became extinct despite this due to breathing difficulties, though this is likely not the case due to Arctovish being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

Arctovish and its counterpart {{p|Dracovish}} are [[Signature move|the only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Fishious Rend}}.

==Trivia==
* Arctovish shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{p|Dracovish}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Arctovish, Dracozolt, Arctozolt, and Dracovish are the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] to not be {{type|Rock}} or have a [[gender]].
* Arctovish, along with the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon, was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1319507626372153344 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on October 23, 2020.</ref>
* In {{aniseries|JN}}, [[Cara Liss]] is the person who gives Arctovish its species name.

===Origin===
Arctovish, like {{p|Dracozolt}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, and {{p|Dracovish}}, may be based on the concept of {{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}} in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals' biology. In the case of Arctovish, its top half appears to be based on the fish ''{{wp|Dunkleosteus}}'', though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} such as {{wp|coelacanth}}s rather than the fins of ''Dunkleosteus''. The upper half may also be based on the ''{{wp|Ainiktozoon}}'', an arthropod fossil discovered in Scotland which was reconstructed upside-down. Its bottom half appears to be based on a marine reptile, like a {{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}, {{wp|mosasaur}}, or {{wp|ichthyosaur}}. Arctovish and the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon may also be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}.

The Pokédex entries for all the Galarian Fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, stupider, and more sluggish, to the point they could not sustain themselves.

Arctovish being unable to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] could be a reference to {{wp|Hybrid_(biology)|cross-bred}} animals, which are born {{wp|Infertility|infertile}} (unable to produce offspring).

====Name origin====
Arctovish may be a combination of ''arctic'', ''fish'', and possibly ''vicious'' or ''{{wp|Ordovician|Ordovician}}''.

Uochilldon may be a combination of 魚 ''uo'' (fish), ''chill'', and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Arctozolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチルドン''' ''Patchilldon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Ice}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is revived from combining a [[Fossilized Bird]] and a [[Fossilized Dino]], which could be revive as a part of {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctovish}} respectively. It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Arctozolt is a hybrid fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a light-blue body with a snow-like patch on the top. Its body has blue fins with white patches on the ends and some spots. It has a plesiosaur-like tail with a fin on top. It has two yellow hands. Arctozolt has a {{wp|Paraves|paravian}}-like head with closed eyes and a blue spot on each cheek. It produces mucus from its nose.

By shaking its freezing upper half, Arctozolt can generate electricity. It was known to live on ancient shores and preserved its food with the ice on its body. It allegedly went extinct because it moved very slowly, but this is likely not the case due to Arctozolt being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

Arctozolt and its counterpart {{p|Dracozolt}} are [[Signature move|the only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Bolt Beak}}.

Arctozolt may particularly reference the ''{{wp|Ichthyosaurus}}'' statue included in the series. The mucus it possesses is likely inspired by the fact that cold weather often results in a runny nose.

'''Dracozolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パッチラゴン''' ''Patchiragon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It is revived from combining a [[Fossilized Bird]] and a [[Fossilized Drake]], which could be revive as a part of {{p|Arctozolt}} and {{p|Dracovish}} respectively. It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Dracozolt is a hybrid fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a small yellow upper body with two long wings shaped like lightning bolts on its arms. Dracozolt has a long neck that connects to a {{wp|Paraves|paravian}}-like head with closed eyes and a red spot on each cheek. The upper half is connected to the middle of the lower body, with an orange and yellow circle surrounding the neck. The lower body is colored pink and green. The legs are green with pink toes and stripes and the tail is green with pink stripes and spikes.

It generates electricity thanks to its powerful tail muscles. It allegedly overgrazed its plant-based food sources, causing it to eventually go extinct, though this is likely not the case due to Dracozolt being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

Dracozolt and its counterpart {{p|Arctozolt}} are [[Signature move|the only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Bolt Beak}}.

==Trivia==
* Dracozolt shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracovish, and Arctovish are the only [[Fossil Pokémon]] to not be {{type|Rock}} or have a [[gender]].
* Dracozolt, along with the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon, was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1319507626372153344 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on October 23, 2020.</ref>
* In {{aniseries|JN}}, [[Bray Zenn]] is the person who gives Dracozolt its species name.

===Origin===
Dracozolt, like {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Arctovish}}, may be based on the concept of {{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}} in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals' biology. In the case of Dracozolt, its top half appears to be based on a {{wp|Dromaeosauridae|dromaeosaurid}}, while its bottom half appears to be based mainly on a {{wp|Stegosauria|stegosaurian}}. Dracozolt and the other Galarian Fossil Pokémon may also be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}.

The Pokédex entries for all the Galarian Fossil Pokémon mention them being the cause of their own extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, stupider, and more sluggish, to the point they could not sustain themselves.

Dracozolt being unable to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] could be a reference to {{wp|Hybrid_(biology)|cross-bred}} animals, which are born {{wp|Infertility|infertile}} (unable to produce offspring).

====Name origin====
Dracozolt may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:draco|dracō]]'' (Latin for ''dragon'') and ''volt'' or ''jolt''.

Patchiragon may be a combination of パチパチ ''pachipachi'' (onomatopoeia for crackling) and ''dragon''.

===History===
[[File:Young Korrina.png|thumb|250px|left|A young Korrina]]
====Pre-series====
Korrina is a descendant of the first people who managed to make a {{p|Lucario}} reach [[Mega Evolution]]. During her childhood, Korrina was always very close to her {{p|Riolu}}, even after it [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Korrina debuted in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''. She appeared before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, aiming to claim her 99th successive victory, eagerly challenging Ash to a battle. In the end, her Lucario easily defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]], and the group decided to have a lunch together, during which {{an|Bonnie}} noticed Korrina's [[Key Stone]]. She revealed that she had received it from [[Gurkinn|her grandfather]]. However, she was still lacking the [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve her Lucario. After the group had saved Pikachu and Lucario from {{TRT}}, Ash and his friends decided to join Korrina on her hunt for [[Lucarionite]].
[[File:OPJ17 2 Korrina and Lucario.png|thumb|250px|right|Korrina and Lucario]]
In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', Korrina, along with Ash and his friends, arrived in [[Geosenge Town]]. There, they met a photographer named [[McGinty]], who gave them a hint of going to a nearby mountain. On the mountain, the group discovered a cave, where the Lucarionite was hidden. Protecting the Mega Stone, however, was a {{p|Blaziken}}, whom Korrina had to battle. Due to Blaziken having a type advantage over Lucario, Korrina was initially losing, but thanks to Ash and friends' encouragements, Korrina and Lucario were able to rise from the brink of defeat and immobilize Blaziken with {{m|Bone Rush}}. Just when Lucario was about to finish the battle, Korrina's grandfather, Gurkinn, came out of the shadows, admitting his defeat and allowing Korrina to take the Lucarionite. With the proper Mega Stone finally in her hands, Korrina started her Lucario's very first Mega Evolution.

In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', after Lucario's first Mega Evolution, Korrina agreed to have a battle with Ash and Pikachu to test her Mega Evolved Pokémon's powers. However, during the battle, Lucario lost control, and it was only stopped from attacking Ash along with Pikachu by Gurkinn's own Lucario. Gurkinn explained that Lucario couldn't control its increased [[Aura]] powers after Mega Evolving, which was why it went berserk. Korrina then had another battle with her Lucario, this time against Gurkinn's own Mega Lucario. However, Korrina's Lucario lost control of itself again soon after Mega Evolving, and Gurkinn won the battle. Afterwards, Gurkinn sent Korrina and Lucario to [[Pomace Mountain]] to get help from a Mega Evolution Trainer.

In ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', Korrina arrived at [[Mabel]]'s manor on [[Pomace Mountain]]. Mabel challenged Korrina and Lucario to battle her Mega {{p|Mawile}}, but Lucario was defeated when it lost control of its Mega Evolved form. Mabel then had Korrina and Lucario arrange flowers together so they could bring each other's differing viewpoints together and transform it into strength, with their hearts acting as one. When Team Rocket stole Pikachu and Mawile, Mega Lucario was used to rescue them, but it went out of control again. However, the dilemma was solved when Korrina convinced it to listen to her and control its Aura. Lucario subsequently freed Pikachu and Mawile by knocking {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}} into [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] with Bone Rush. In the process, Lucario learnt a new move, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, and finished the fight by using it on Team Rocket's balloon. Although Ash and Korrina were both heading toward the [[Shalour Gym]] for their Gym battle, Ash said he needed to train his Pokémon more, and Korrina split off from the group.

Korrina reappeared in Ash's flashback in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.
[[File:XY032 Ash VS Korrina.png |thumb|250px|left|Korrina and Ash]]
In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', Korrina met up with Ash and his friends when they arrived in Shalour City. Korrina revealed that she had been training for the battle between them ever since her trip with Ash. While they wait for the match to start, Korrina watched the training session Ash specifically prepared for the battle. When they reached the [[Tower of Mastery]], where the Gym was located, Gurkinn recounted to Korrina and the others a story about the origins of Mega Evolution. Later, during the night, Team Rocket broke into the Gym and stole the Book of Secrets, but Korrina and Ash intervened and managed to retrieve it. In the end, Gurkinn revealed the book was something completely different from what Korrina and the others had thought.

In [[XY044|the following episode]], Korrina and Ash had their Gym battle at the Shalour Gym. At first, Ash attempted to copy {{an|Tierno}}'s dancing battle strategies from the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], but wasn't successful. After switching back to his own style of battling, Ash proceeded to defeat both Korrina's {{p|Mienfoo}} and {{p|Machoke}} with {{AP|Hawlucha}} and {{AP|Fletchinder}}, respectively. Determined to still win, Korrina sent out Lucario and immediately Mega Evolved it. With this power boost, Lucario was easily able to beat Fletchinder and Hawlucha, leaving Ash with just his last Pokémon, Pikachu. Mega Lucario's overwhelming power gave Pikachu a lot of trouble, but eventually, after a fierce exchange of attacks, Pikachu was able to defeat Mega Lucario and win the match for Ash, thus earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}. She then told him that the next [[Coumarine Gym|Gym]] was in [[Coumarine City]], and that [[Ramos|the next Gym Leader]] was eccentric, but she believed Ash could help sort him out.

Korrina reappeared in {{an|Clemont}}'s flashback in ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]''. She also made brief appearances in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', where she was seen watching the {{ci|Gloire}} Master Class {{pkmn|Showcase}} alongside her Lucario and Gurkinn.

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', Korrina was seen battling [[Alain]] and his [[Alain's Charizard|Mega Charizard X]] with her Mega Lucario. The result of that battle was shown at the end of ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', where she and Lucario were revealed to have lost. Afterwards, Korrina gave him his eighth Badge, thus making Alain eligible to participate in the [[Lumiose Conference]]. Upon receiving the Badge, Alain informed Korrina that he wanted to join the League to face a [[Ash Ketchum|powerful adversary]].

Korrina appeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', when Ash was talking to [[Everett]] about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in [[Kalos]], in order for him to be able to compete in the Lumiose Conference.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Korrina was watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast during [[Team Flare]]'s attack in [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Korrina joined the Kalos Gym Leaders in the fight to destroy the [[Giant Rock]]. During the encounter with Ash and his friends, she discovers what [[Ash's Froakie]] has evolved into - a {{p|Greninja}} capable of becoming [[Ash-Greninja]] thanks to the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. During the confrontation, Korrina and Lucario tried to pave the way for Ash and Alain to rescue [[Chespie]], who was being used as the Giant Rock's power source, but they were easily defeated. When the battle ended with Lysandre's defeat, she and the others got together to say goodbye to [[Squishy]].

Korrina reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Korrina Ash Pokemon Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Korrina and Ash in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
In ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'', Korrina attended the Battle Festival Challenge and revealed she was competing in the [[World Coronation Series]], being in the Normal Class. She then introduced herself to Ash's Pokémon, especially {{AP|Riolu}}, who began idolizing her Lucario. Korrina also revealed to Ash that she and Lucario had been training with the aim of battling {{an|Leon}} in the finals.

Both of them then decided to have a [[rematch]]. Korrina started off with her {{p|Mienshao}}, which went up against [[Ash's Gengar]], but it was exchanged with Lucario in the middle of the battle, resulting in Gengar's defeat. When Mienshao is defeated by {{AP|Dragonite}}, Lucario went up against Dragonite next, and despite Korrina Mega Evolving Lucario, Dragonite emerged victorious. Following her defeat, she apologized to Riolu for not winning with Lucario. Afterwards, Ash and Korrina said goodbye, and she promised to meet up with them again.

She and her Mega Lucario appeared during a flashback in ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', where [[Bea]] revealed that she defeated Korrina in a previous battle.
[[File:Bea and Korrina.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina and Bea]]
In ''[[JN084|An Adventure of Mega Proportions!]]'', during a Gym battle, Korrina was visited by Ash and [[Goh]]. The former then explained that he was after getting what he needed to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{AP|Lucario}} and Korrina gave him a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]]. After Lucario senses the presence of a [[Mega Stone]], the group decided to head towards [[Mega Island]]. Upon arriving, Korrina and Ash ended up separating from Goh and Lucario, which maked Ash try to locate himself through his Pokémon's [[Aura]]. Upon reuniting, they finally found the Mega Stone they were looking for, but [[Gurkinn]] challenged Ash to determine who the Lucarionite will belong to. When Ash managed to win the battle, Korrina congratulated him on the victory. As they headed home, Korrina was surprised to discover that Ash's next opponent in the [[World Coronation Series]] would be Bea.

In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'' and ''[[JN086|A Battle of Mega Versus Max!]]'', Korrina traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to watch Ash and Bea's battle. On the day before the battle, she shared some sweets she had brought from Kalos with Ash, Goh, and Bea. The next day, she joined Goh in the crowd, cheering for both Ash and Bea equally.

In ''[[JN130|Toying With Your Motions!]]'', Korrina watched Ash's match against Leon alongside Bea and Gurkinn.

===Character===
[[File:Korrina and Ash friends.png|thumb|250px|Korrina and her friends]]
During the course of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', Korrina was one of the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s who grew the most as a person. Initially, she was very hyperactive and didn't know how to deal with [[Mega Evolution]]. After much training and battles, Korrina managed to create the necessary bond to control {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in its most powerful form. Her relationship with {{p|Lucario}} from the beginning was very intimate, to the point of being almost like siblings in battle, and where she could feel its presence even at a distance.

Due to her personality, Korrina became quite friendly with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. During the time they spent together, this friendship became quite strong between the group.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Korrina showed a deep interest in [[Ash's Riolu]]. During her battle with Ash, Korrina was seen seeking the Emanation Pokémon's approval. Although she was defeated, Riolu was very impressed with her Lucario's power. After Ash's Riolu evolved, Korrina helped Ash and Lucario obtain a Lucarionite for themselves just as Ash did for her during his journey in Kalos. She is also revealed to be friends and rivals with [[Bea]], both sharing interest in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon and sweets. While Ash and Goh initially mistook their relationship for a more unfriendly rivalry, Korrina insisted that was just Bea being herself.

In ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a Mienshao when it battled [[Ash's Gengar]] in the [[World Coronation Series]]. It was then defeated by {{AP|Dragonite}}.

Mienshao's known moves are {{m|High Jump Kick}}, {{m|Drain Punch}}, {{m|Force Palm}}, {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|U-turn}}, and {{m|Double Slap}}{{tt|*|Mienshao could not legally use Double Slap at the time}}.}}

'''Korrina''' (Japanese: '''コルニ''' ''Corni''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/awefawef_01lucario.jpg "Corni & Mega Lucario"] [[Pokémon Scale World]] figurine catalog image</ref>) is a character who appears in {{g|X and Y}} and the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Successor''' (Japanese: '''けいしょうしゃ''' ''Successor''), and [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

In Pokémon X and Y, she is also the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Shalour Gym]]. She gives the {{badge|Rumble}} to Trainers who defeat her.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, she [[Friend|befriends]] and joins [[Team MZ]], helping them solve the mystery of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

==In the core series games==

=== Appearance ===

==== Pokémon X and Y ====
Korrina is a young girl with a slender, athletic build and fair complexion. She has blue-gray eyes and very long, knee-length cream-blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She is noted to have powerful legs; the [[television]] show Gym Freaks mentions that her axe-kicks can shatter rocks.

Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the [[Mega Ring]] as it has a [[Key Stone]] embedded on it. She also wears white rollerskate boots with red decals.

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
5 years later, Korrina's hair is noticeably longer, and she wears it into a bun and a ring, resembling the Mega Evolution symbol. She first appears wearing a thick white full-body coat, before she takes it off and reveals her current outfit: a zipper crop top with a tall collar, double-layered shorts, and a bandana, all of which are colored in various hues of yellow, green, blue, and purple. Her bandana has the Mega Evolution sigil printed on it. Korrina also wears white arm-length gloves and white boots with yellow-green laces and soles. Her boots have rollerskate wheels embedded in the soles, though they are much less noticeable than her previous appearance.

As part of her goal to master Mega Evolution, Korrina carries many [[Mega Stone]]s on her person, embedding them in bandolier-like straps that wrap around her torso and waist. Like her Pokémon X and Y appearance, Korrina still embeds her Key Stone on the back of her left glove.

===History===
==== Pokémon X and Y ====
[[File:Korrina Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina about to battle the player]]
[[File:Korrina Tower of Mastery XY.png|thumb|250px|Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery]]
Korrina is a [[Gym Leader]] from [[Shalour City]]. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the {{badge|Rumble}}, along with {{TM|98|Power-Up Punch}}. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'' and an NPC at [[Café Action!]], she is a [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video]] star and often dresses up in costumes.

Korrina first appears on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when one of her Lucario comes up to the {{player}} while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's [[aura]], then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in [[Geosenge Town]], where she challenges the player to a battle with her two {{p|Lucario}}.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the [[Tower of Mastery]] with her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the [[Mega Ring]] against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the [[Battle Chateau]], Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for [[rematch]]es. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

:April: ''"Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She's cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costume-like clothing makes my heart go crazy! Lately, Korrina has been in the PR Video Studio! Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

:April: ''"Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She's cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costumes make my heart beat pit-a-pat! Her legs are so magnificent that her axe-kick move can shatter cave rocks into pieces! If I were her, I wouldn't need the HM. Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''

==== Pokémon Legends: Z-A ====
{{spoilers}}
Korrina is indirectly mentioned by [[AZ]] in a letter he wrote to the player after the credits of the game. In his letter, AZ revealed that prior to the game's events, Korrina had given away a Lucario to him in hopes that it might keep him safe. After AZ passes away, his Lucario and the letter are left in the player's room in [[Hotel Z]].

===== [[Mega Dimension]] =====
Korrina is called by [[Corbeau]] to [[Lumiose City]] to join [[Team MZ]] to help them solve the mysteries of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Korrina and her Lucario appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. The other members of her team are [[Cynthia]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

{{main|Korrina (anime)}}
Korrina is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' who met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'' on their way to her hometown. The group accompanied her as she traveled to [[Geosenge Town]] to understand and master the [[Mega Evolution]] of her trusted partner {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. She left the group at [[Pomace Mountain]] in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', and eventually battled Ash in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', where Ash emerged victorious. She made later appearances in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', and returned in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

'''Ansha''' (Japanese: '''アンシャ''' ''Ansha'') is a [[friend]] character from the {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. She is a talented chef who creates [[donut]]s that dreams of finding the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] and gift it to her "dear mama" [[Diantha]]. During the course of the game, Ansha becomes a full-fledged member of Team MZ and assists the group by powering up Hoopa with her donuts in order create portals to the hyperspace.

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
Ansha is a short, young girl with fair complexion. Her hair is mostly covered in her fluffy white hat; the hair on the back of her head is styled to resemble a {{wp|mochi donut}}. She wears a knee-length black overcoat with a fluffy pink collar over a white sweater, and black shoes with fluffy pink legwarmers, and she carries a small white backpack with golden ornaments. When cooking donuts, Ansha dons her cooking attire, consisting of a bluish-gray apron and head scarf with a donut pattern; Naveen and Lida later sewed the Team MZ logo onto her apron.

===Personality===
[[File:Ansha cooking with Hoopa ZA.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ansha cooking [[donut]]s with {{p|Hoopa}}]]
Ansha is a young girl who shows surprising maturity and eloquence by the way she speaks and is also polite with the adults around her, addressing them properly. She enjoys making donuts and has been getting better at it over the years: this ability and her caring and kind personality has led the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}} to gather an interest in her and two ended up becoming friends. She cares a lot for her mother Diantha, so much so that she wants to get the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}} to give her as a present. Despite this, she seems to be worried that she might not live up to the expectations of being a Champion's daughter, should she pursue being a Pokémon Trainer herself. Moreover, she seems saddened by the fact she does not get to spend much time with her mother, given how busy she is with her acting career.{{-}}

===History===
====[[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]====
=====[[Mega Dimension]]=====
Ansha is a talented donut chef who, along with her partner [[Hoopa]], seeks the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{P|Rayquaza}} to give to her "dear mama", [[Diantha]]. Along the way, Ansha seeks the help of [[Team MZ]] to make a donut that will give Hoopa a surge of power, and ends up guiding them to [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

| epnum=Mega Dimension
| desc=At some point in the past, {{p|Hoopa}} had its power clamped down by the [[Prison Bottle]] so it wouldn't go rampaging all over, remaining in its Confined form since then. It also seems to have developed some animosity towards the Prison Bottle, refusing to change back into its Unbound form.

About 6 months prior to the events of [[Mega Dimension]], Ansha happened upon Hoopa, heavily weakened after losing a battle to a mighty Pokémon it played a prank on. She fed it a fresh-baked [[donut]], granting its strength back and since then, it followed her around, helping her visit [[Hyperspace Lumiose]] through the use of its {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}s.

It appears alongside Ansha while at the rooftop of [[Hotel Z]]. Eating donuts baked by her, it gains the power to use its Hyperspace Holes and open up the distortions across Lumiose, which allowed her and the rest of [[Team MZ]] to access new pockets of hyperspace. To enter the distortion above [[Prism Tower]] to reach and defeat {{p|Darkrai}}, Hoopa needed to eat the special donut, "Bad Dreams Cruller", infused the power of [[Mega Evolution]], gaining the power of its Unbound Form and successfully allowing the group to reach [[Hyperspace Newmoon Nightmare]].

In [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission]] #196 ''The Djinn Unbound'', [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] found the Prison Bottle among [[AZ]]'s belongings. When Hoopa saw it, another Hoopa, in its Unbound form, suddenly appeared in hyperspace. [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] caught the angered Hoopa and obtained the Prison Bottle from Urbain/Taunie as both Ansha and Hoopa express that the player keep the bottle away from it, preferring to keep it in its Confined form.

Hoopa's only known move is {{m|Hyperspace Hole}}.}}

| desc=A few months prior to the events of [[Mega Dimension]], Ansha witnessed a Rayquaza flying over her in [[Hyperspace Lumiose]]. Inspired to catch it for her [[Diantha|mother]], she sought out [[Team MZ]] to help her track it down. Thanks to Ansha's story about Rayquaza, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Groudon}}, Team MZ successfully summoned a distortion above [[Hotel Z]] that'd lead to a pocket of hyperspace housing Rayquaza. The team travelled to [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]], battled the [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega]] Rayquaza and defeated it, with [[Paxton]]/[[Harmony]] catching it. Having finally met Rayquaza, Ansha expressed her desire to hold off on presenting it to her mom until she became a [[Pokémon Trainer]] herself, and asked the player to look after Rayquaza until that day.

Rayquaza's known moves upon capture are {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, {{m|Hyper Voice}}, {{m|Outrage}}, and {{m|Meteor Beam}}.}}




==Trivia==
* Ansha's Hoopa's love for donuts appears to reference the animated Pokémon movie ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', which features a {{an|Hoopa}} that loves to eat donuts.
* The beginning of Ansha's theme contains elements of [[Diantha|her mother]]'s battle theme.
* Ansha is currently the only [[friend]] character from the [[core series]] to not appear in any sort of battle at all.
** She is also the only member of [[Team MZ]] who is not a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and cannot be battled as well.

'''Larry''' (Japanese: '''アオキ''' ''Aoki'') is a businessman who works for the [[Paldea]] [[region]]'s [[Pokémon League]], where he serves as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Medali]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Medali Gym]], and a member of Paldea's [[Elite Four]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as a Gym Leader and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon as an Elite Four member.

==In the core series games==

===Appearance===
Larry is depicted as a tall, middle-aged man of average build. His most unique features belong to his face, with prominent cheekbones and eyebags, grayish-black eyes in the shape of squares (alongside his pupils), square black eyebrows and black hair with numerous gray quiffs shooting off from it.

Larry wears a light black suit, consisting of a blazer, trousers and formal shoes. His suit, shoes and suitcase are notably worn out. Beneath his suit is a gray long-sleeve button-downed shirt with a pale-blue tie with a cloud outline pattern, referencing his specialization as an Elite Four member. During the Elite Four battle, Larry will wear a sky blue long-sleeve button-downed shirt. Larry also has a pretty poor posture as shown by his slouched back.

As with every other member of the Elite Four of Paldea, Larry wears black gloves with the logo of Paldea's Pokémon League, which resembles a white compass, upon them.

Larry is always seen holding a black briefcase, which he puts down before battles.

===Challenging the Medali Gym===
Medali Gym Leader: Larry

(AKA the Exceptional Everyman)

"This Normal-type user is the middle of the pack when it comes to Gym Leaders. He has a day job helping run the {{pal|Pokémon League}}, where he is not the best rated worker. He loves to eat."

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
'''Website Blurb:''' ''This Normal-type Gym Leader is also a businessman, and he’s not very motivated. When he gets lost in thought, he becomes so still that onlookers begin to worry.''

Larry is a serious, professional, brooding man who works for Paldea's [[Pokémon League]] under [[Geeta]], who assigned him the roles of both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member. He also works as a businessman on top of his Pokémon League duties. In [[The Indigo Disk]], it is revealed through his conversation with [[Ryme]], that Larry was contracted for the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]].<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Ryme]] in [[The Indigo Disk]]. ''"Thank you for doing business with us regarding the redesign of the [[Montenevera Gym|Montenevera battle court]]." - Larry''

''"Oh, Yeah! I forgot we hired you for that. No sweat, baby. You did right by us too! That new battle court's pitch-perfect for live shows and as ghostly as I wanted. My [[Tyme|sister]] loved her old rocky court, but my {{p|Houndstone}} couldn't burrow into that!" - Ryme''</ref> He mentions that he is strictly told to cut down on his overtime hours.<ref>''"In any case, I've been strictly told to cut down on my overtime hours, so...I'll call it a day." - Larry''</ref> He sees being a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member as a part of his workload. He is not passionate about his day job and [[Pokémon]] battling. Larry is often unmotivated, and becomes unsettlingly still whenever he is lost in thought, much to the worry of people nearby.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/larry/ Larry — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Larry sees himself as an average, ordinary person; if the player chooses him as their favorite Gym Leader after they complete the Gym assessments, he questions their choice.<ref>''"[[Geeta|The boss]] contacted me the other day... She said you’d given my name when asked about your favorite Gym Leader. I really don’t understand your choice. Why would you pick an average Joe like me? Maybe you’re overworked and it’s affecting your judgment...? I know a good park where you could go to unwind, if that’s the case." - Larry''</ref> Larry intentionally hides his face in his Gym Leader profile picture because he wants to maintain a low profile and avoid the risk of attracting crowds.<ref>Larry's conversation with [[Iono]] from [[The Indigo Disk]]:

''"Yo, Larry! How come you don't face the camera in your Gym Leader pic?" - Iono''

''"I prefer to keep a low profile..."'' ''"If people knew my face, I'd run the risk of drawing crowds. That'd make it hard to get into restaurants-or worse, I could get banned for causing a disturbance in one." - Larry''

''"Hwhaaa! Hold up, back up! You DON'T want people to recognize you?"'' ''"Wait-that's not even the most bonkeriest part! How'd you get the OK to do yours different?! Everyone else has a regular pic!"'' ''- Iono''

''"Oh, that's just a matter of knowing who to talk to. It comes with experience, I suppose..." - Larry''

''"Daaang. You're adulting like a pro, Larry."'' ''-'' ''Iono''</ref> Larry is noted to be very quiet, which results in [[Hassel]] to be unable to hear him from afar.<ref>''"Uh... Don't think he heard you, Larry." "Larry, you...you may need to speak up just a little bit more." - [[Rika]]''

''"I think the real problem with the Elite Trial is that [[Hassel]] is the one after me. [[Rika]] or [[Poppy]] would hear me just fine, even if I didn’t shout." - Larry''</ref> According to [[Iono]] in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], Larry has been a member of the Paldea League for 25 years.

He uses Normal-type Pokémon at his Gym because he feels they reflect his ordinary image.<ref>''"They all belong to the Normal type. “Normal” as in plain...average...unremarkable...run-of-the-mill...I'm pretty fond of them, you know? They suit me perfectly—I'm about as ordinary as you can get." - Larry''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me." - Larry''</ref> In addition to the Gym Badge, Larry gives out {{TM|025|Facade}} when defeated. During the Champion Assessment, he is the third Elite Four member to be faced and uses a team of Flying-type Pokémon per Geeta's request, much to his dismay.<ref>''"I serve as a member of the [[Elite Four]] too, yes...Unfortunately for me."''

''"At my [[Gym]], I use [[Normal (type)|Normal-type]] Pokémon, since I feel they have a lot in common with me."''

''"But, well, the boss told me to use a different [[type]] here."''

''- Larry''</ref>

Outside of his Pokémon League duties, he is known for his fixation with food, and regularly visits the Treasure Eatery of Medali, which also serves as the arena for his Gym battles. In [[The Indigo Disk]], Larry reveals that he also enjoys going on business trips.<ref>''"Calling me all the way out to another region... Is a certain [[Geeta|chairwoman]] rubbing off on you?"''

''"Actually, don’t worry about it. To be honest, I don’t mind these little business trips."''

''"I know I’m here for work, but I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it." - Larry''</ref>

===The Indigo Disk===
After completing the main story, Larry can be invited to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] as a special coach. When challenged to a [[rematch]], he battles as a Gym Leader, though he retains some Flying-type Pokémon from his team when battled as one of the Elite Four.

Larry may converse with other Trainers present in the [[League Club Room]].

==Pokémon==
As a Gym Leader, Larry's team consists of {{t|Normal}} types, while he uses {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member. In the rematch with him at the [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[League Club Room]], his team will be made up of both Normal and Flying types. His signature Pokémon is {{p|Staraptor}}.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Larry debuted in a flashback in ''[[HZ018|Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!]]'', where he was seen eating at the [[Treasure Eatery]] while [[Friede]] met with [[Lucca]] there.

He physically debuted in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where he and the other members of the [[Elite Four]] watched [[Liko]]'s battle against [[Ann]] at [[Naranja Academy]].

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Larry battled [[Coral]] and [[Kofu]] as part of the [[Elite Four Tag Battle]], only for Coral to have her {{p|Glalie}} use {{m|Self-Destruct}}, knocking out all of their Pokémon and leaving Larry the winner by default.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Larry was assigned as [[Dot]]'s next challenge for the [[Tera Training]] course.

In ''[[HZ058|Food Fit for a Kingambit!]]'', Larry appeared during the reopening of the new menu at [[Anything Goes Café]]. After the meal, he left without attracting much attention, but was noticed by Dot when he left.

In ''[[HZ059|Dance, Quaxly! The Blue Medali Step!]]'', Larry was Dot's opponent for her second Terastal battle, where he used both his {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Dudunsparce}} against Dot's {{p|Quaxly}} and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}}. Even after Dot's Quaxly evolved into {{TP|Dot|Quaxwell}} and put up a great fight by {{Tera}}stallizing, Larry was still able to win by Terastallizing his Staraptor in turn and exploiting Quaxwell's paralysis. Despite her loss, Larry still approved Dot for her opportunistic use of Terastallization. Afterwards, when Dot and her friends ate some [[rice ball]]s at the Treasure Eatery, Larry was forced to pay their bill, much to his dismay.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Larry was seen talking with [[Geeta]] and [[Ryme]] during the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]] taking place. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Larry watched Liko and Roy's battle with Ryme in the audience. After the tournament, Larry exchanged nods with Dot before leaving.

Larry appeared again in ''[[HZ079|Over the Top!]]'', when the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] appeared at the {{pal|Pokémon League}} asking for permission to go to [[Area Zero]], Larry appeared along with the other members of the Elite Four. Later, Larry watched Liko, Roy, and Dot's battle against Geeta along with the others present.
{{-}}

====Character====
Larry has a very brooding, serious, stoic and calm personality, rarely showing much emotions both in and out of battling. He prefers the simple things in life, including simple but delicious foods. This simple, stoic and calm nature befits him as a Normal-Type user, and he even tells his opponents not to underestimate Normal-type Pokemon in battle. Regarding food, Larry is a massive foodie much like in the video games. He loves going to various restaurants to eat and has a hearty appetite. He is also generous enough to treat other people for a meal, like with Liko, Roy and Dot, though he was dismayed upon having to pay the whole bill.

In battle, Larry is calm and focused as ever, calmly analyzing his opponents movements and not giving their Pokemon much time to recover, capitalizing on opportunities and status conditions to exploit his opponent's weaknesses. His strength is shown simply by being both a Gym Leader and Elite Four member at the same time, just like in the video games. Larry is humble in victory and even passed Dot for her battle tactics and improved skills despite her losing, showcasing his judge of a person's skills.
{{-}}

====Pokémon====
Similar to the games, Larry uses two completely different teams of Pokémon, one team for challenges as a Gym Leader and another for battles as an Elite Four member.

==In the manga==
[[File:Larry Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Larry in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Larry debuted in [[PASV17]]. He was first seen at the Treasure Eatery, grabbing a [[Rotom Phone]] [[Penny]] left behind when she left the building. He went outside to return it, only to find Penny surrounded by a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The Grunts used their Pokémon to attack Larry, but were easily defeated, giving Penny to opportunity to flee.

The following day, {{Violet}} and [[Arven]] went to have lunch at the [[Medali|Treasure Eatery]], only to find the building closed. The employees explained that a co-worker went missing while passing through [[Asado Desert]] to buy ingredients at [[Porto Marinada]]. Assuming this was the work of the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}, Violet and Arven promised to find the employee. They were stopped by Larry, who noted that he heard rumors about Violet and Arven's accomplishments in taking down the various Titans and wished to test their skills as Trainers.

After Violet was forced to register at the [[Medali Gym]], he and Larry faced each other in a Gym battle at the Treasure Eatery. Violet eventually emerged victorious after taking out Larry's {{Terastal}}lized {{p|Staraptor}}. Accepting his loss, Larry recognized that Violet and Arven were truly as strong as the rumors suggested and allowed them to go face the Titan. Larry saw the boys off, but was then confronted by his fellow [[Elite Four]] members and [[Geeta]], the Top Champion. Geeta explained that they came to investigate a report to the Pokémon League claiming Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, but quickly dismissed it as false. Larry told the others that the Trainers he supposedly attacked were members of Team Star and that they were harassing an [[Uva Academy]] student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior.

==Trivia==
* Larry's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|非凡サラリーマン|Extraordinary Salaryman}}.
* As both a [[Gym Leader]] and an [[Elite Four]] member, Larry is the first character in the games to fill two different positions in the same [[Pokémon League]] simultaneously.
* Larry's specialization in {{t|Flying}} types is hinted at by the cloud patterns on his tie and his ace Pokémon as a Gym Leader being part Flying-type.
** Him specializing in both {{t|Normal}} and Flying types is likely a reference to how the Normal/Flying type combination is the most common type combination amongst dual-type Pokémon.
* Larry is the only Paldean Gym Leader in the core series to:
** {{Tera}}stallize a Pokémon already of his type specialization.
** Terastallize more than one Pokémon.
** Battle inside a building instead of outdoors.
* During the Champion Assessment, Larry's Altaria does not know any Flying-type moves, making Larry the only member of the Paldean Elite Four to use a Pokémon that does not know any moves with the specialty type of its Trainer.
* During his Gym battle, Larry's {{p|Dudunsparce}} is female, but during the rematch, it is male.
* During the battle at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], Larry's team uses a mixture of both Normal and Flying types.
* In [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]], Larry's {{p|Staraptor}} shares three of the same Flying-type moves with [[Lucius's Moltres]]: {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Hurricane}}, and {{m|Air Slash}}.
* In the [[PPW04|fourth episode]] of [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]], [[Iono]] confirms that Larry has been part of the Pokémon League for 25 years.

'''Nemona''' (Japanese: '''ネモ''' ''Nemo'') is a supporting character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She is a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} who first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]''.

Nemona is also the current student council president of [[Naranja Academy]] and eventually became a friendly [[rival]] to [[Roy]], often challenging him to battle.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
Prior to the events of the series, Nemona challenged the [[Paldea League]] and managed to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked Trainer. This made her famous among Trainers in the [[Paldea]] [[region]].

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy.png|250px|left|thumb|Nemona with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]]]
Nemona first appeared in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'' while winning a battle against a Trainer. Some time before meeting [[Liko]] and [[Roy]], Nemona came to [[Artazon]] town to meet with [[Brassius]] and discuss his absence from the [[Gym]]. Upon being introduced to the young Trainers, Nemona joined them to go to the Gym and meet Brassius. During the meeting, they discussed their works and when Roy spoke about the [[Black Rayquaza]], Brassius kicked everyone out of his house. While discussing why Brassius acted the way he did, Liko came to the conclusion that Brassius might have {{wp|writer's block}}. After that, Nemona took Liko and Roy to the {{DL|Artazon|Sunflora Lawn}} and decided to group as many {{p|Sunflora}} to create inspiration for Brassius again, showing them later that she managed to gather fifteen species. After Brassius saw the group's determination and his {{p|Dolliv}}'s insistence, Brassius presented Nemona, Liko and Roy with a work based on his vision of {{p|Rayquaza}}. As soon as Brassius challenged Roy to a {{pkmn|battle}}, Nemona watched the battle along with Liko and explained some concepts like {{Tera}}stallization to her. At the end, Brassius presented another work of his to the group, one based on the forest's {{DL|Six Heroes|Arboliva}}.
[[File:Nemona Liko Roy Dot HZ046.png|250px|thumb|Nemona reuniting with Liko, Roy, and Dot at [[Naranja Academy]]]]
In the [[HZ011|next episode]], Nemona accompanied Liko, Roy, and [[Mollie]] into the [[Arboliva's Forest]]. Upon arriving, Nemona said goodbye to the group and said that the next time she would met them, she would like to have a battle with Roy.

Nemona appeared in a flashback to Liko and Roy's journey in ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]''.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko and Roy and met [[Dot]] after they enrolled at [[Naranja Academy]] to train for the [[Tera Training]]. During the reunion, Liko and Roy discovered that Nemona's Pawmo evolved, and shortly thereafter, Nemona challenged Roy to a battle but was stopped by [[Clavell]]. Shortly after, Nemona showed off the Academy to the freshmen and introduced [[Elite Four]] members [[Rika]] and [[Hassel]] to her friends. After Liko and [[Ann]]'s battle, Nemona appeared again wanting to battle but was interrupted by the ringing of the Academy's bell.
[[File:Roy and Nemona.png|left|250px|thumb|Nemona and Roy]]
In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona was in Artazon again helping with an Art Festival that would be held by Naranja Academy and Brassius: Upon meeting Roy again, Nemona immediately challenged him to a battle which she won without much difficulty, despite Roy and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} gave their best. After the battle, Nemona took her friends to the workshop where work was being done. After Liko, Roy and Dot showed off their art, Nemona watched Roy's battle against Brassius. [[HZ060|Some time later]], it was revealed that Nemona took a photo with Liko, Roy and Dot before separating from the group.

In ''[[HZ055|Showdown! The Paldea Elite Four]]'', Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot when they returned to Naranja Academy, after explaining their next challenge, Nemona watched the students' battles against Paldea's Elite Four. After Roy's defeat in the battle against Hassel, Nemona came personally to tell him to continue doing his best. In [[HZ056|next episode]], Nemona watched Liko and [[Katy]]'s battle against Rika alongside Roy and [[Ann]].

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', it was revealed that Nemona traveled to [[Montenevera]], and after saving {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. Soon after, Nemona watched alongside Liko and Dot as Roy battled [[Ryme]], and when Roy was defeated, Nemona joined the girls to see how Roy and Fuecoco were doing. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], in order to cheer Roy up, Nemona held a [[Hyper Training]] with him and Fuecoco. As the afternoon wore on, Nemona joined the group and heard the story of why Roy likes to sing. Later, Nemona watched Roy and Ryme's [[rematch]] and after Roy's victory, she congratulated him for advancing another step in the Tera Training.
[[File:Nemona Arven Penny HZ067.png|250px|thumb|Nemona with [[Penny]] and [[Arven]]]]
In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Nemona met with Liko, Roy, and Dot again. After talking about the progress of the Tournament for the Tera Training students, she watched the battles while Liko and Roy solved a problem at Naranja Academy involving the [[Explorers]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Nemona praised Roy and Liko's heroic actions in saving the school from the Explorers, whom she heard from [[Penny]]. Soon after, Nemona watched Liko and Roy's battle alongside Penny and [[Arven]], and after Roy's victory, Nemona congratulated him on the result and said she was proud of Roy's progress up to that point alongside Ryme.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Nemona was at Naranja Academy strolling around when she noticed [[Dendra]] and her {{p|Hariyama}} chasing after [[Ult]], believing he was up to no good. Nemona and Dendra caught Ult and his {{p|Sableye}}. Eventually, Nemona reunited with Liko, Roy, and Dot, who clarified that Ult was their teammate. Nemona then decided to challenge Roy to a [[Double Battle]], having wanted to battle him again after a long time, which he eagerly accepted, with Nemona's Pawmot and {{p|Ribombee}} against [[Roy's Crocalor]] and {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. It was an intense battle, with Nemona using various tactics to defend, heal, and attack, but Roy was able to employ clever tactics to overcome these measures. In the climax of the battle, Nemona {{Tera}}stallized her Pawmot while Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] his Lucario, with Lucario emerging victorious. Pawmot's defeat led to Roy being declared the winner. After the battle, Nemona congratulated Roy, while Ult wanted to battle her next. To everyone's surprise, Penny challenged Dot to a battle instead. In the [[HZ102|next episode]], Nemona analyzed the battle between Penny and Dot. At the end of the day, when saying goodbye to the group, she highlighted how much they have evolved as people and Trainers and that she expects great things from them.

In [[HZ115]], Nemona returned as a student at [[Blueberry Academy]]. She had a Double Battle against Roy, using her Pawmot and {{p|Decidueye}} to battle Crocalor and Lucario. Using Decidueye's {{m|Spirit Shackle}} to stop Lucario from moving, Nemona was able to defeat Lucario before defeating Crocalor, winning her the match. After the battle, Nemona returned to [[Paldea]].

===Character===
[[File:Nemona ready battle.png|thumb|250px|Nemona ready to battle]]
Nemona is a very friendly and kind person, quickly making friends with [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. Nemona has a very supportive personality, showing this when she tried to encourage Roy to continue doing his best in battles after being defeated by [[Hassel]].

She also has a huge passion for [[Pokémon battle]]s, challenging different Trainers as she encounters them on her way to a battle. During the time that Liko and Roy spent at [[Naranja Academy]], Nemona often challenged people to battle, but was always interrupted by something. In addition to this, in ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona revealed that she enjoys following some events that involve Pokémon battles, which motivated her to travel to [[Montenevera]] just to watch the battles that happened at [[Ryme]]'s show.

As expected from a {{pkmn|Champion}}, Nemona is well respected in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], as shown during her [[HZ010|first appearance]] and when Nemona met [[Dot]] who was quite embarrassed in Nemona's presence. It is indicated that this recognition of Nemona's abilities extended to other regions, as in [[HZ115]], it was shown that the students of [[Blueberry Academy]] were quite impressed with Nemona. Despite her young age she is shown to be very knowledgeable about various topics in the Pokémon world such as the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

It first appeared as a {{p|Pawmo}} in ''[[HZ010|Nemona and Brassius and...]]'', where it was seen battling a Trainer's {{p|Skiploom}}, which it defeated with {{m|Spark}}. During the encounter with [[Brassius]], Pawmo was frequently hit by the oil of his {{p|Dolliv}}.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Pawmo was revealed to have [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pawmot.

In ''[[HZ048|Sparkle! The Glow of Fire and Art!]]'', Nemona used Pawmot in her battle against [[Roy]], where it battled against his {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. After a tough battle, Pawmot emerged victorious, defeating Fuecoco with {{m|Double Shock}}.

In ''[[HZ061|Resonating Spirits in a Challenge to Ryme!]]'', Nemona had Pawmot save {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}} from falling from the sky. In the [[HZ062|following episode]], Pawmot was used by Nemona to help Roy and Fuecoco in a [[Hyper Training]] session.

In ''[[HZ101|Terastallization vs. Mega Evolution!]]'', Nemona partnered Pawmot and {{p|Ribombee}} for a [[Double Battle]] against Roy's Crocalor and {{shiny}} {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}. After Roy [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Lucario, Nemona {{Tera}}stallized Pawmot into a pure {{type|Fighting}}, but it ended up being defeated, thus making Nemona lose by default.

In [[HZ115]], Pawmot was used in another Double Battle, this time partnered with Nemona's {{p|Decidueye}} again battling against Lucario and Crocalor. Thanks to the training Nemona received at the [[Blueberry Academy]] and Nemona's strategy with Decidueye's {{m|Spirit Shackle}}, Pawmot managed to defeat Lucario, and then Pawmot, by Terastalizing and using a Focus Punch against Crocalor, was able to defeat it.

Pawmot's known moves are {{m|Spark}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Double Shock}}, {{m|Discharge}}, {{m|Mach Punch}}, and {{m|Focus Punch}}.

==Trivia==
* In an interview with {{wp|Oricon}} magazine, [[Eri Kitamura]] spoke a little about her vision for Nemona: for her, although Nemona is a veteran {{pkmn|Trainer}}, her willingness to battle means that other people do not see her as a mature Trainer.<ref>https://twitter.com/oricon_anime_/status/1785972504659468395</ref>
* When {{Tera}}stallizing her Pokémon, Nemona uses the phrase (Japanese: '''輝け！輝け！私の最高の宝物！''' ''Shine! Shine! My greatest treasure!'').

Heal Order (move)

2026-02-04T02:43:30Z

KyleRGiggs: This is a signature move. Unless a new species could learn Heal Order, or Vespiquen could learn once more, this move should be regarded as removed.

'''Dada''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|とうちゃん|Tō-chan}}''' ''Daddy'') is the nickname of a {{p|Zarude}} who is the major character of ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', as the adoptive father of {{OBP|Koko|M23}}.
{{spoilers}}

==In the movies==
===History===
Ten years prior to ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', Zarude and its fellow troop members lived in the [[Forest of Okoya]]. The Zarude often terrorized the Pokémon living in the jungle, attacking them and stealing their food under the pretense it was the law of the jungle. One day, lured by the sound of crying, Zarude arrived at a riverbank, where he came across a lone human infant. Despite the protests of his pack, Zarude refused to leave the infant to fend for itself, instead choosing to go into exile and find the child's parents. After his attempts to return the child to humanity failed, Zarude adopted the child to raise it as it were his own son. The infant would later be named {{OBP|Koko|M23}}, who in turn referred to Zarude as "Dada".

Over the next ten years, Dada and Koko lived in the jungle together. Oblivious to his true nature, Koko believed he was also a Zarude and became frustrated by his apparent inability to use [[move]]s. When Dada hesitated to tell Koko the truth, Koko stormed off to discover his true origins. That night, Dada met with Koko, only to discover he befriended a boy named {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}}. Realizing he was a human and not a Pokémon, Koko demanded Dada to tell him the truth. Dada accepted and led the boys to a nearby abandoned research facility containing a picture of [[Chrom and Phossa Molybdenum|Koko's birth parents]]. After explaining how he and Koko met, Dada left, telling his son to decide what to do with the information he received.

The next day, Dada and his former troop members came across [[Dr. Zed]] attempting to uncover the secret of the Heart Tree's healing powers. Dada and the Alpha Zarude attempted to fight Dr. Zed's robot, but were injured and forced to retreat. After regrouping with the others, Dr. Zed began attacking the Heart Tree. Despite Dada's warnings, the other Zarude chose to fight and protect the Heart Tree. With no other options, Dada turned to the jungle Pokémon to help him stop Dr. Zed. The Pokémon initially rejected Dada's request, but accepted after seeing how he desperately he wanted to keep Koko and the forest safe.

Dada and the jungle Pokémon fought off Dr. Zed, but Dada was fatally wounded when he protected Koko from the robot's attack. The other Zarude took Dada to the healing spring, but its restorative properties were weakened when Dr. Zed attacked the Heart Tree earlier. A dying Dada admitted to Koko that he was proud to be his father despite being insecure about his ability to be a parent. Desperate to save his father, Koko managed to successfully use {{m|Jungle Healing}} and save Dada's life.

After Dr. Zed's defeat, the Zarude worked with the jungle Pokémon and the Biotope to restore the damages done to the jungle. When Ash said his farewells to everyone, Koko revealed that he wanted to leave the jungle and go on a journey of his own. Feigning anger, Dada argued with Koko and told him to do whatever he wanted. Before Koko left, Dada and the jungle Pokémon gathered together to say goodbye.

Sometime later, Dada fed the jungle Pokémon the Berries he had grown in his and Koko's garden and then spotted a {{Shiny}} {{p|Celebi}}, the jungle's guardian, confirming to him that peace had returned to the jungle.

'''Kyogre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kyogre'') is a {{type|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Kyogre''' if it holds the [[Blue Orb]].

Along with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Kyogre is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Kyogre is sought by [[Team Aqua]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's waters.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Kyogre.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kyogre encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Kyogre is a massive, {{wp|whale}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. Kyogre has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, with the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Kyogre is believed to be the personification of the sea itself, and is described in in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as the "maker of oceans" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s oceans and expanded them by generating heavy tidal waves. It is also capable of {{a|Drizzle|summoning intense rainstorms}} to cloak the world's entire sky and weaken {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for quenching areas of the world plagued with droughts. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], it is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. Kyogre can fly when there is no water for it to swim in. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Groudon}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|Rayquaza}}. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Kyogre within [[Seafloor Cavern]],<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any [[human]] or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> where it has since slumbered in the marine trench. During its sleep, Kyogre's body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It loves [[Kyogre Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen with [[Hyperspace Primordial Sea]], Kyogre's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Kyogre is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Origin Pulse}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drizzle}} was its [[signature Ability]].

===Forms===
Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Kyogre. It retains its general body structure, but it grows larger and its main skin color becomes a darker shade of blue. The red markings along its body become light blue, and its eyes glow yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. The markings on its pectoral fins slightly change to form {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbols, which connect to its outer nails with red markings connecting the inner nails. Every part of its skin that was originally white becomes clear and translucent, with the large ovals on its head now connected to clear markings stretching from its tail to its forehead, where another {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbol is formed. The trailing parts of its tail grow longer and gain translucent webbing, and the areas between its pectoral fin markings also become clear. The translucent parts of its body reveal organ-like structures that glow with a mysterious light; it has a large "organ" at the center of its body, two smaller ones aligned with the large oval markings, and two more located in its pectoral fins.

Primal Kyogre is said to be Kyogre's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it spills forth as seawater, which its body composition is nearly identical to, while its skin glows similarly to that of sapphire.<ref name="Mega">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062721/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre archived])</ref> Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatened to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal Kyogre fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue The Legends of Hoenn Continue | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue archived])</ref> Research conducted by the [[Weather Institute]] reveals that Primal Kyogre can annihilate all life before resetting the planet.<ref>[[Maxie]]: ''"The "beginning" that Primal Kyogre brings about... The way that it resets the world... It starts by driving every living thing on this planet to death first! This path leads only to an inescapable despair that cannot be withstood. That is all you have brought us. This is what comes of the madness of thinking that you could ever control the super-ancient Pokémon's power!'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the Cave of Origin, or the Blue Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Kyogre can summon storms which drastically raise the sea level and outright {{a|Primordial Sea|nullify}} Fire-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY049|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to have widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim.

Primal Kyogre is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Primordial Sea}} as an [[Ability]].

===Form data===
====Primal Kyogre====
Primal Kyogre is an additional form for Kyogre that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Kyogre is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Blue Orb]], it will change into Primal Kyogre; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Kyogre is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Kyogre is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Kyogre inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Kyogre made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have [[Red Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Kyogre was awakened by the presence of the [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it was shown in its [[Primal Reversion|primal state]], fighting with Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} over the Giant Rock.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Kyogre was among countless other {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that arrived at [[Samiya]] when [[Ash Ketchum]] replaced all of the [[Sea Crown]]'s crystals. However, when [[the Phantom]] attempted to make all the Water-types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre was part of the ensuing commotion. {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} calmed them down using {{m|Heart Swap}} to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some {{p|Wailord}} broke open the Phantom's ship, followed by some {{p|Chinchou}} swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the ship, destroying it.

In the beginning scene of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Kyogre was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Kyogre was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Kyogre and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Kyogre departed for its home.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', a Kyogre had been {{status|poison}}ed and was being pursued by [[Hunter D]] and [[Hunter D's crew members|his crew members]]. However, {{an|Lana}} was able to feed it some bait laced with [[Antidote]], restoring its health and allowing it to defeat the hunter. However, Kyogre was still enraged because of the hunters' actions, forcing Lana to reel it in with her [[fishing|fishing rod]] and have her newly evolved {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} sing to it in order to calm it down. After Lana calmed Kyogre down, it thanked her for restoring its health and calming it down before leaving peacefully.

====Minor appearances====

In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} tricked {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Kyogre and Groudon from their places of rest.

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===

Kyogre returns as a Poké Ball summon with faster movement as well as a longer time and more KO ability. In these games, it can also appear from a [[Master Ball]].

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} roughly resembles an orca whale, though its large fins also look a bit like hands. Be wary of its Hydro Pump attack, which is capable of sending you flying off the stage. Even worse, it will chase after you, making it even harder to recover from the attack.''

'''PAL''': ''This orca-like Water-type Pokémon is known for the distinctive shape of its fins and the red markings along its body. It will use Hydro Pump to send fighters flying off the stage, and then proceed to chase after them to make recovering from the attack a nightmare.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Kyogre returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It, along with Primal Kyogre, also appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Marina.png|thumb|175px|{{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}}'s Kyogre costume]]
* Kyogre's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats are the reverse of Groudon's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Kyogre had a catch rate of 5.
* [[Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
* [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}} has a [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] based on Kyogre.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Surf}} will allow the {{player}} to surf more quickly than with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (except for {{p|Sharpedo}}). This action has its own animation and larger hitbox.
** Additionally, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Dive}} will allow the player to avoid underwater battles with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. This action also has its own animation and a larger hitbox.

===Origin===
Kyogre may be a personification of the Earth's oceans. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|cetacean}}s, primarily {{wp|toothed whale}}s. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions.

The patterns on Kyogre and Primal Kyogre's fins appear similar to the first letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|alpha}}, which might signify the origin of life, believed to have started in the oceans. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Groudon}}'s {{wp|omega}}.

====Name origin====
Kyogre is a combination of 海 ''kai'' (sea) or 海王 ''kaiō'' (king of the sea) and ''{{wp|ogre}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSpN7TDmmm4 Interview] with [[Nob Ogasawara]] by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|orca}}'' (killer whale).

Groudon (Pokémon)

KyleRGiggs: /* Primal Groudon */ In Z-A, despite Ability is not present, the effect of Descolate Land applies to Primal Reversion. As a result, Water-type moves have absolutely no effect to Groudon.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the [[Red Orb]].

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Groudon is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Groudon is sought by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's landmass.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Groudon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Groudon encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in red, segmented plates of thick, armor-like skin. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. Groudon has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with gray markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

Groudon is believed to be the personification of the land itself, and is described in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as a "maker of lands" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s continents and expanded the landmasses by generating magma formations. It is also capable of {{a|Drought|summoning intense sunlight}} that can dispel rain clouds, evaporate water, and weaken {{type|Water}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for stopping terrible floods. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], Groudon is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. It can walk on water by using magma to form a path beneath its feet. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|Rayquaza}}. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Groudon within [[Seafloor Cavern]]{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>/under [[Mt. Chimney]]{{sup/3|E}}, where it has since slumbered underneath the magma. During its sleep, its body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It loves [[Groudon Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen in [[Hyperspace Desolate Land]], Groudon's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drought}} was its [[signature Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Groudon. Its appearance remains mostly the same, but it becomes larger and its skin color changes from dark red to deep crimson, with its underside, spikes, and teeth turning black. The blades on its tail are more separated from one another. The {{tt|Ω|Omega}} symbol can be seen on its arms, and its eyes, the inside of its mouth, and the enlarged openings between its armor plating glow bright yellow. Its irises are also red.

Primal Groudon is said to be Groudon's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon Primal Groudon | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062720/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon archived])</ref> Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatened to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."''

A despair that's gonna crush [[human]]ity. You blasted fool... And it's all happening 'cause you were cocky enough to think you could control the [[super-ancient Pokémon]]'s power!"'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the [[Cave of Origin]], or the Red Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Groudon can outright {{a|Desolate Land|nullify}} Water-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY048|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to create new land with every step it takes.

Primal Groudon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Desolate Land}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==== In the side series games ====

* These notable Trainers all use Groudon:
** In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], during the [[Orre Colosseum]] [[Orre Colosseum/Lv. 100 Battle Mode Double|Level 100 Battle Mode Double]] format, [[Myth Trainer (Trainer class)|Myth Trainer]] [[Inity]] will use a Groudon as part of his team.
** In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Groudon as part of his team if the player has not copied Pokémon from any save file, or has copied Pokémon from a save file of [[Pokémon Pearl]].

==== In the spin-off games ====
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. It will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fireballs at the [[Poké Ball]] to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, it will be captured.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen. Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. [[Team A.C.T.]] will go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, so a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}, is assembled. When they get defeated, the player's team has to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing [[Fogbound Lake]]'s existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

===Form data===
====Primal Groudon====
Primal Groudon is an additional form for Groudon that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Groudon is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Red Orb]], it will change into Primal Groudon; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Groudon is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Groudon is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Groudon inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Meta Groudon]]=====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', a former [[Team Magma]] scientist named [[Butler]], working as a magician at the [[Millennium Festival]], wished to use {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a manifestation of pure evil that simply had the appearance of a Groudon. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy Meta Groudon.

====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon|Groudon (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Groudon made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but did not have [[Blue Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who had captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred in ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

A Primal Groudon was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Groudon and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Groudon departed for its home.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Groudon|Groudon (Adventures)}}
Groudon's first appearance was in ''[[PS214|Assaulted by Pelipper I]]''. Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to {{pkmn|battle}} {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Blaise and {{adv|Amber}} tricked {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places, with [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] making them both undergo [[Primal Reversion]] so that they could help defend the planet from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that was due to impact it in several days.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it to be knocked back and receive damage, similar to the attack of {{p|Moltres}}, though it lasts longer. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals less knockback and damage, making it very hard to directly KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

===={{sbw|Trophy}} information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In {{pkmn|battle}}, it {{a|Drought|summons sunlight to bathe the area}}. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Groudon appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Groudon is {{pkmn|category|called}} the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|Legend]] has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with {{p|Kyogre}}, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps our {{pkmn|world}} was born from this great battle between land and sea.''

'''PAL''': ''Groudon is called the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. Legend has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with Kyogre, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps it was this battle of land and sea that created the world as we know it.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Both Groudon and Primal Groudon appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Terrell.png|thumb|175px|[[Terrell]]'s Groudon costume]]
[[File:Groudon Beta.jpg|thumb|175px|Early Groudon design]]
* Groudon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats are the reverse of Kyogre's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Groudon had a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Groudon is the only pure {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to not have an [[evolutionar]]y relative.
* Groudon shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Ground-type and Fire-type Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat, highest {{stat|Defense}} stat and base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* The [[Meta Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is [[Size discrepancies in the animated series|much taller]] than Groudon's game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon later appeared in the animated series in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', it was much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story; it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay.
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* In its early design, Groudon's eyes were shaped differently, with the positioning of the spikes on its body being slightly different. Its head details became much more elongated in the final version, and the super-ancient Pokémon's signature body patterns are not present.
* When Groudon is caught in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it will have the {{t|Fire}} [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]].

===Origin===
Groudon may be modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and may be a personification of the land. Its conflict with Kyogre is similar to that of {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}} of Hebrew legend, who at the end of time would start a battle that would kill them both. Like Groudon, Behemoth is associated with the land. However, while Behemoth is usually depicted as a {{wp|Phacochoerus|warthog}}/{{wp|hippopotamus}}-like creature, Groudon resembles a {{wp|Therapoda|therapod}} dinosaur, with spikes resembling various species of {{wp|Ankylosauria}}.

The patterns on Groudon and Primal Groudon's legs and arms appear similar to the last letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|omega}}, which might signify the end of life, believed to happen with cataclysmic events such as volcano eruptions. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Kyogre}}'s {{wp|alpha}}.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also involve 土 ''do'' (earth) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for booming or crashing sound).
