== Theft ==
Can Harvest recover stolen berries if stealing moves{{tt|*|and other berry losing moves}} ({{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Natural Gift}} etc.) are used? If Harvest can recover stolen berries, then it's possible to duplicate things like [[Lansat Berry|Lansats]] and [[Starf Berry|Starfs]]. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 02:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
:I've been playing around with Harvest and {{m|Recycle}} in Generation V, and they can restore Flung and Naturally Gifted (whatever) items, but not Bug Bitten, Plucked, stolen, swapped, or Bestowed. You also can't restore items that have been collected by something with Pickup. So no, there doesn't seem to be any way to duplicate these rare Berries. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:04, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

== Pickup ==
There's something that's bugging me about this. It says that it can't restore a Berry collected with Pickup. However, according to the article for Pickup, Berries can't be found with the Ability in Generations V and VI. In fact, they haven't been available since Generation III. So what's this about?

Talk:Shadow move

2013-07-12T19:31:24Z

Kyro-Dizzy: /* Original Moves */ new section

==[[??? (type)|??? type]], [[No type]], or [[Shadow (type)|Shadow type]]?==
Are these moves really ??? type? In the game, they don't have any type symbol at all, rather than having a ??? type symbol... I think they should be listed as having "No type", or at least being "Shadow type" (especially for moves from XD which can actually be super-effective or not very effective.) --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 02:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

From [[Unknown type]]: "''The ???-type does not run exclusively off of the Pokémon's attack stat or special attack stat. This differs from one attack to another.''"
Can someone possibly add which attacks affect which stats on each page?
And I also second what [[User:Kayube|Kayube]] said --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 11:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== STAB ==

Do Shadow Pokémon receive a Same Type Attack Bonus when using a Shadow-type move? [[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 08:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

No they don't, because "Shadow Types" is not really a type, because Pokemon can only have two types max (ie. water/flying, grass/poison, etc). Its hard to explain, but no, they do not receive a STAB. Also, in XD, shadow moves are super effective against non-shadow pokemon. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 15:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Category of Shadow Blast ==

Are we sure that Shadow Blast is of type "Special" in Gale of Darkness? I've been playing around with it and it certainly seems to be a Physical attack. It hurts a Shadow Chansey a *lot* more than Shadow Lapras. It does more damage after opponents have been with with Shadow Down. And "X DEFENSE" lowers the damage it does.

I can't compare against Colosseum; maybe it was Special there and Physical in XD? [[User:Machinedramon|Machinedramon]] 20:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Shadow Blast wasn't in Colosseum, just Shadow Rush. I agree though; it does seem to be Physical. Maybe it's a Physical attack that doesn't make physical contact, like Hyper Beam. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 20:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

== 4X weakness ==

Would dual typed Pokémon have a 4X weakness to Shadow moves?

:No, the shadow weakness/resistance attributes are completely unrelated to type. Only 2x weakness and ½x resistance regardless of attacker and target. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:11, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

== Sketch? ==
What happens if smeargle used sketch on a shadow move? [[User:Savelijah|Savelijah]] 15:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
:It would most likely fail. While non-Shadow pokemon can use Shadow moves if given to them with a cheating device (source: my XD Party), if they could be Sketched, then the Pokemon could be traded to R/S/E/FR/LG, where the moves do not exist, and would probably fuck your game up. It needs confirmation though. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 16:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
::Well who ever is going to confirm it how about finding out what happens if a ditto uses transform on a shadow pokemon. [[User:Savelijah|Savelijah]] 14:28, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
:::Using transform does work. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 10:26, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

== {{m|Shadow Blast}} ==
I've tested it using {{m|Counter}} and confirmed it is a [[Physical move]]. I'm testing the rest of the [[Shadow move|Shadow moves]] too and so far I know that {{m|Shadow Wave}}, {{m|Shadow Rave}}, and {{m|Shadow Storm}} are [[Special move|Special]]. [[User:BOOXMOWO|BOOXMOWO]] ([[User talk:BOOXMOWO|talk]]) 19:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

== Original Moves ==

Would it be possible, and, if so, practical, to include the moves on which each of these moves are or may be based? For example, Shadow Blast would have Aeroblast listed. I know that some of these are ambiguous in what moves they were based on, but there are several which are obvious, like Shadow Bolt, which is based on Thunderbolt. For those that are uncertain, the pages mention a few possibilities, like Shadow Blitz, which lists basic moves like Pound, Scratch, and Tackle.

Shiny Pokémon

2013-06-16T23:26:46Z

Kyro-Dizzy: /* In the spin-off games */

{{FAC notice}}
[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shining Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''differently colored'' or '''光る''' ''shining''), also recognized as '''alternate coloration''' or '''rare coloration''', is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

The term "Shiny Pokémon" was created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the games. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]]. The term Shiny Pokémon was first used in-game in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny form only a few shades darker or lighter in color. However, many Pokémon have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

[[Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

|}{{-}}

In the [[version|main series]], Shiny Pokémon were first introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, and was required for {{game|Crystal}}.
When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild, or from a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect (in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this will also happen if a wild Shiny Pokémon breaks out of the Poké Ball). In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while from [[Generation III]] onward, it occurs afterward. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its Shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender, as a small yellow star in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as a yellow star that is animated dimming and brightening continuously, and in Generations IV and V as a large star near its picture. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white, whereas in Generations IV and V, the number will be colored red. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the background behind the sprites of Shiny Pokémon is white instead of gray, and small purple squares are added to the corners. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the border with [[gender]], [[nickname]], and [[level]] will be {{color|68E0E0|teal}} instead of {{color|C8A8E8|purple}}.
{{-}}

===Generation II===
[[File:EP235.png|thumb|250px|right|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]
In Generation II, Shininess is determined by the {{IV}}s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a Shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its Shininess. Despite the bonus of backward compatibility allowing for a Shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, Shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the HP IV being determined by the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be 0 or 8. This is because HP takes the final binary digit of the Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special IVs and places it, in that order, for its own IV. The last 3 binary digits are always 0 because those IVs have to be 10 (1010 in binary) for Shiny Pokémon. The first digit depends on whether or not the Attack IV is even (then it is 0) or odd (then it is 1). This means that the HP IV can either be 0000 (0) or 1000 (8).

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a Shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is 1/8192 in a wild encounter; breeding has different odds due to parents passing on IVs to their offspring. However, if one breeds a Shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being Shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out Shiny will always be Shiny, and one that is not will never be (provided its data is not altered through [[cheating]]). Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its Shiny status. A Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon; however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between Generation {{gen|II}} and Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|V}}.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the plot of the Generation II games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}. The red Gyarados can be found at level 30.

The Pokémon that hatches from the {{DL|Pokémon Egg|Odd Egg}} in Crystal has a 14% chance of the result being Shiny in localized games, and a 50% chance in Japanese games.

===Generations III, IV, and V===
In [[Generation III]], most of the [[Template:data structure|data structure]]s were redone. As such, a Pokémon's Shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for Shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] and secret ID number of the [[Original Trainer|player encountering it]] and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The same method is used in Generations {{Gen|IV}} and {{Gen|V}}.

The secret ID and Trainer ID byte words are first xored together, and then the first byte word of the personality value is xored with the second byte word of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is Shiny. This results in a [[Personality value#Shininess|probability]] of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or 0.01220703125%), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byte word of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byte word of personality value) = F

If E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is Shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three Trainers who have Shiny Pokémon. In the Single Battle mode, the seventh Trainer has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in [[Double Battle]] mode, the first pair of Trainers have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}. Finally, in the knockout mode, the fourth Trainer will send out a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}.

Several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny.

In Generation IV, some Pokémon, such as Mystery Gifts and Ranger Manaphy, cannot be Shiny due to the game's code. However, the Ranger Manaphy's Shininess won't be altered by the game if traded to a second cartridge as an {{pkmn|Egg}} (changing the ID and SID). There are other methods which make obtaining alternately colored Pokémon a little bit easier: the [[Masuda method]] and the [[Poké Radar]] slightly raise the probability of hatching Pokémon from Eggs and catching Pokémon from the wild, respectively.

In the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in the second mode on the [[slot machine]]s, a {{p|Clefairy}} appears on the lower screen. There are three kinds of Clefairy: a {{p|Ditto}} that has {{m|transform}}ed into a Clefairy, a normal Clefairy, and a Shiny Clefairy. Shiny Clefairy are the rarest and last for the most rounds, but are not as rare as encountering a wild Shiny Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon are again highlighted in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the red Gyarados makes its return as a plot point, while Shiny Pokémon also appear in their Shiny state as [[walking Pokémon]] when they follow the player.

In [[Generation V]], Pokémon in the Pokédex will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered is Shiny.

A special event has been released that will allow the player to encounter a wild {{p|Zoroark}} if one of the Shiny [[legendary beasts]] released with the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] is transferred forward to Generation V.

In [[Generation V]], the game is programmed so that {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Victini}} as well as any Pokémon obtained from the {{pkmn|Dream World}} will never be encountered Shiny. However, like all Pokémon, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini have Shiny palettes programmed in the games' data.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the player may encounter a Shiny {{p|Haxorus}} at level 60 in the [[Nature Preserve]]. Also, after defeating [[Benga]] in either the Black Tower{{sup/5|B2}} or the White Treehollow{{sup/5|W2}}, he will give the player either a Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or a Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}. The player will also receive the {{key|V|Shiny Charm}} from [[Professor Juniper]] after completing the [[National Pokédex]], which increases the chance to 1 in 2730 or about three times as likely as normally. This also affects the Masuda method.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
In most [[generation]]s, there are a few Pokémon that cannot be obtained Shiny without [[cheating]] or [[glitch]]es, due to either being distribution-exclusive without an in-game location or, in Generation V, being programmed so that they cannot be Shiny in the wild.

====Generation II====
* {{p|Mew}}<ref group="note">While Mew distributed to Generation II games cannot be Shiny, Mew distributed to Generation I games were not restricted in this way due to Shininess not existing. While it is theoretically possible that a Mew could become Shiny when transferred to a Generation II game, no cases are known and the possibility is small enough to include it on this list.</ref>
* {{p|Unown}} forms other than [[Form differences#Unown|I and V]]<ref group="note">Due to Unown's letter and Shininess both being determined by {{IV}}s in Generation II, only Shiny Unown I and V are possible in these games.</ref>
* A female Pokémon in a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of 7 males to 1 female}}.<ref group="note">Due to gender and Shininess both being determined by IVs in Generation II, it is not possible to get a Shiny female of this gender ratio.</ref>

====Generation III====
* {{p|Celebi}}<ref group="note" name=Celebi>Celebi was available outside event distributions via the Japanese [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]]. This produced two types of Celebi: one that was sent directly to the Pokémon Colosseum save file, and one that was sent directly to a GBA game. While it has been found that the one sent to the Colosseum save file can never be Shiny, there is no conclusive evidence about the potential for the other Celebi to be Shiny. However, it is considered likely that the Celebi that can be sent directly to the GBA games is produced in the same way as the one sent to Colosseum and therefore cannot be Shiny. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the only possible way for Celebi to be Shiny is if this Celebi can be Shiny, and is sent via [[Pal Park]] (and the [[Poké Transfer]] in Generation V).</ref>

====Generation IV====
* {{p|Celebi}}<ref group="note" name=Celebi/>
* {{p|Arceus}}
* [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]

====Generation V====
* {{p|Celebi}}<ref group="note" name=Celebi/>
* {{p|Arceus}}

* {{p|Reshiram}}
* {{p|Zekrom}}
* {{p|Keldeo}}

==In the side series games==
[[File:Blue Shellder Stad.png|thumb|A {{p|Shellder}} nicknamed {{p|Woobat}} and a {{p|Koffing}} nicknamed ING-KOFF, sporting different colors]]
===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually Shiny. This seems to have been removed from later games. In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kid's Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). Here they are called '''Color Pokémon'''. This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

===Pokémon Colosseum===
[[File:Box Colo 100 s.png|thumb|left|A Shiny {{p|Voltorb}} in Colosseum]]
{{main|List of glitches in Generation III#Shiny Shadow Pokémon glitch|List of glitches in Generation III → Shiny Shadow Pokémon glitch}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, like in the main series games, Pokémon have a 1/8192 chance of being Shiny. Likewise, there is a 1/8192 chance of a [[Shadow Pokémon]] being Shiny; however, when a Shiny Shadow Pokémon is captured, it is highly improbable that the Pokémon will retain Shininess. Conversely, when an ordinary Shadow Pokémon is captured, there is still the 1/8192 chance of that Pokémon becoming Shiny when it is sent to the player's party or the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. Shininess is retained through [[purification]]. In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

[[File:MPR Photography.png|thumb|Shiny {{p|Zigzagoon}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Bibarel}} as seen in My Pokémon Ranch]]

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon can be Shiny. As in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]]—except {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Mew}}—cannot be Shiny.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseums can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon. This is due to the RNG, which generates a random PID.

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
{{incomplete|section|more on Gates to Infinity Shinies}}
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], there are two Keckleon brothers running a shop. One is the standard color scheme, while the other has purple as its dominant color instead of green. However, it is not actually Shiny, as a Shiny Keckleon only has a purplish-blue stripe and tongue.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} appears, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. The purple Keckleon returns from the previous games alongside his brother as before.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[main series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same chances as finding one in the wild in the main series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past, however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their Hunger stat is 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity===
[[File:Eternal Ruins Shiny Ho-Oh PMDGTI.png|frame|right|A Shiny Ho-Oh found during Eternal Ruins mission]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], at least {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be encountered as a Shiny Pokémon. Should this happen, it will use different moves and be more powerful overall.

===Super Smash Bros.===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Lucario}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny form wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, and one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s is its Shiny form wearing a straw hat; however, all other playable Pokémon in the series, except Mewtwo, do not have their actual Shiny form as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble===
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the main series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

===Pokémon Rumble Blast===
In [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], Shiny Pokémon have been removed entirely.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]]. {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.

==In the TCG==
Shiny Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. Players can only have one Pokémon {{Star}} per deck. The {{TCG|Stormfront}}, {{TCG|Platinum}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} and {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} sets include three cards each with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as an entirely separate rarity. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards are not limited by special gameplay and deckbuilding rules, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into non-Shiny Stage 1 Pokémon, or, in the case of Shiny {{TCG|Evolution card|evolved Pokémon}}, from normal Basic Pokémon.

Shiny versions of several [[legendary Pokémon]] were also featured in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion as secret rares under the ''SL'' numbering subset.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Noctowl sparkling.png|250px|thumb|right|Like Shiny Pokémon in the games, {{AP|Noctowl}} sparkles as it exits its Poké Ball.]]
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. This may be due to Kecleon's {{a|Color Change}} Ability, however, similarly to the case in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

The first Pokémon with an alternate coloration that was seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001|the first episode]]. However, it is possible that it may not have been intended to be an alternate coloration, as Ho-Oh may not have been fully designed by the episode's release, and may have simply been colored after the version it represents, {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}}, and since alternate coloration was also not yet an explored concept. For these reasons, most do not consider this to be a Shiny Pokémon either.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them.

A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which are not the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and are possibly coloring errors.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode.

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', [[Narissa]] owns two {{p|Ditto}}, one of which is Shiny.

A [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket mecha]] that appeared in ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', the Digital Drapion, appears to be based on a Shiny {{p|Drapion}}.

The term was first used in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''

==In the manga==
[[File:Gyara Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in Pokémon Adventures]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is the [[red Gyarados]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]]'s {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{adv|Silver}} captured [[Red Gyarados|the raging leader]] of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.
{{-}}
==Trivia==
[[File:ShinyIntroMinccino.jpg|thumb|A Shiny [[Minccino]] in the introduction screen]]
* Due to the fact that Shininess in Generation III onwards is determined by the OT's ID and Secret ID, and to the fact that Eggs take the ID/SID of their hatcher when hatched, Eggs can be Shiny on the game that breeds them, but not on a game they are traded to (or vice-versa) if still in their Eggs. The OT of the Egg is not changed until after it hatches, which can lead to scenarios where an Egg will hatch and appear Shiny, but will not be Shiny when actually checked (or vice-versa), as the ID/SID changes immediately after the hatching scene.
** This is also why many event Eggs can hatch Shiny when they would normally be prohibited from doing so on the original receiver's game.
* Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generation II, several odd quirks arise:
** Due to gender being determined by IVs in Generation II, it is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
** Due to {{p|Unown}}'s letter being determined by IVs in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
** Due to {{m|Hidden Power}} being determined by IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 50 or 70.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available, with two.
* It is possible for the {{p|Minccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s}} to be Shiny.

==Converting to Emerald Artwork?==

I notice that the Totodile Page has been given artwork from Emerald, so should we do the same for Cyndaquil and Chikorita? {{unsigned|Jonouchi}}

:Go ahead we did that to the sinnoh starters--[[User:CoolPikachu!|CoolPikachu!]] 22:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
::-_- The Sinnoh starters didn't get artwork from Emerald, they got it from Platinum. Anyways, I suppose you could, but you'll have to upload the pictures. - [[User:SpontaneousCombusken|spontaneous'''Combusken''']] 22:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

::I knew what meant SpontaneousCombusken -_- I just wasn't being specific--[[User:CoolPikachu!|CoolPikachu!]] 22:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Is there emerald art o the archives? Pluss Croconaw has TCG art--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 17:41, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
::::Still Sugimori art... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

== Mudkip Errors ==
It says on the Mudkip Page that [[Mudkip]] is the only quadruped [[starter Pokemon]].However, Chikorita and [[Turtwig]] are quadrupeds. I am going to edit that. --[[User:4XPokeX54Z009|I like articunos and mudkips!!!]] 11:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
:That's true, but if you have read it more clearly, it said, "Mudkip is the only '''Water-type starter that is quadrupedal.'''"[[User:Deathgabriel|Deat]][[User talk:Deathgabriel|hgab]][[User:Deathgabriel/SandBox|riel]] 11:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
::And why is this on the Chikorita page? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|10% Satisfaction Guaranteed!]] 16:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== That's odd ==

This page says Grovyle and Chikorita have the same height that seem odd is this a error or are they really the same size? [[User:Riggins]]

That's definitely gotta be false... if that's on the page, its gotta be removed...--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 00:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

:No It may seem wrong but they are the same size my PokeDex says so.--[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 00:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
::Well... what do ya(he, he... I said "ya") know? I checked on the Grovyle page and its true... they are the same size... except for the anime...

== Mystery Dungeon Trivia.. ==

I can't edit the article page, but can add this on the Talk Page. Right now, the article reads:

"Even though it has a 87.5% chance of being male, most Chikorita in the anime are female, including the Chikorita from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon special and Ash's Chikorita.

'''* Also, in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Chikorita is only available as a female when chosen as a starter or partner.'''"

This was only true in Red/Blue Rescue Team. In Time/Darkness/Sky, Chikorita can be both male and female :P [[User:Tails0600|Tails0600]] 06:35, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Slightly Altered? ==

Chikorita's evolution line's names are hardly even changed when translated into English from Japanese. Trivia?--[[User:Maii|Maii]] 22:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Maii

== Grammer Mistake ==

Hey. Sorry if this is something silly to bring up, I'm new here, but there's a grammer mistake in the article under, 'Behavior'. It reads, "Chikorita, like many Grass Pokémon, are very docile. It prefers to avoid fights by using the aromatherapeutic properties of the large leaf on its head..." In the first sentence it refers to Chikorita as a species, but after that the article uses "it", which is incorrect. The way it was used "Chikorita" was a plural subject, but after that the article uses a singular pronoun. I'm sort of OCD about grammer, so I want to change it, but I'm not sure if I can, and I'm not sure how. There are two fixes: change the first line so that the subject agrees with all the following pronouns, or change the pronouns so that they agree with the preceeding subject.
--[[User:Torchica01|Torchica01]] 22:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
:Chikorita are a species, so I think they should all be plural.

== A slight inaccuracy ==

''Chikorita is one of four Pokémon (five species total) that have a gender ratio of 7:1 that have had a female shown in the anime but not a male. The others are Ash's Bayleef, Togepi, Togekiss and Snivy.'' While I will agree that there hasn't been really male Chikorita shown. We don't know what Misty's Togepi/Togetic is (but I think it was referred to as Male). And Shooti's Snivy was male, Snivy don't change genders when evolving. So its inaccurate because at least with Snivy there was a male shown in the anime. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 09:02, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
:I was actually about to say the same thing in regards to Snivy. [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 00:37, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

== Maybe some Trivia ==

Chikorita is the only grass type starter that doesn't learn any health-draining moves (Absorb, mega drain, giga drain, leech seed, etc) through leveling up
Yeah, might seem useless, but it stands out [[User:Twilight-kun|Twilight-kun]] ([[User talk:Twilight-kun|talk]]) 20:02, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

== Guidebook Trivia ==

In the official guidebook for Gold and Silver, it says Chikorita can learn Fly by HM. This is obviously false, but I thought it would be interesting to note. [[User:Kyro-Dizzy|Kyro-Dizzy]] ([[User talk:Kyro-Dizzy|talk]]) 23:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

== "Lost Control of Time"? ==
Was it ever actually stated that he/it could no longer control time as Primal Dialga?
In fact, when the partner proposes that Celebi use her power, she reminds him/her that Dial a CAN control time, so it would make the attempt useless, which indeed it does.
I leave the final verdict to hang. Fix the page or don't, but it's not wise to have information that is directly contradicted by evidence in the games. [[User:Kyro-Dizzy|Kyro-Dizzy]] ([[User talk:Kyro-Dizzy|talk]]) 23:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

== Battle: Primal Dialga... Or is it? ==

Personally, I don't think that you're actually fighting Primal Dialga at the end of the main story. I think it's a Dialga that's ''almost'' completely enveloped in darkness. I even have evidence to support this.
:Exhibit A: Before the battle, the main character thinks this:
::''"Dialga is losing control because time is breaking down! But... This isn't like Primal Dialga in the future... He's not yet fully consumed by the power of darkness! There's still a chance that Dialga can be brought back to reason! There's still hope!"''
:Exhibit B: Earlier in the story, in the dark future, {{p|Grovyle}} mentions that Primal Dialga feels no emotion. Before the battle, Dialga seems ''angry''.
:Exhibit C: It is known that Primal Dialga has no control over the flow of time, since there is no flow. However, in battle, Dialga is perfectly capable of {{m|Roar of Time}}.

If you disagree, feel free to respond, but before you do, I suggest that you go over the evidence carefully. [[User:SharKing|SharKing]] 18:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)SharKing
:Ask Darkrai what he thinks. He caused it.
:Darkrai: MAybe I did. But I don't have a name of it. SemiPrimal DIalga doesn't appeal much to anyone. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''12:41 7 Sep 2008'''''

Actually, time must still exist in the future in some way, as Celebi could travel through time still, Diagla cancelled Celibi's time travel, there was the Passage of Time in the future, the Future Pokémon knew of time, and none of the Pokémon were frozen in time.[[User:Nintendofan146B|Nintendofan146B]] 01:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

== Battle Music ==

At first I thought the epic music was unique, but am I the only one who noticed that Primal Dialga's battle music is only an epic mix of a theme used in various places in game? I can list a few of them:
:During the battle (duh)
:Climbing Temporal Tower (Tower, not Pinnacle)
:Whenever a Time Gear is encountered
:Grovyle's theme (unsure)

Worthy trivia? [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Distortion Alpha]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 19:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}

The Pokémon world is shown, as the camera zooms in on what looks like a graph of the inside of a computer chip, with Pokémon moving around inside and some scenes from earlier movies. In the sky, a lot of bird Pokémon and {{p|Lugia}} are flying around. Underwater, a lot of {{Type|Water}} Pokémon are swimming around, along with Kyogre. On the mountainside, several Pokémon are relaxing. Some {{p|Seedot}} are hanging out of a tree in the forest, as several forest Pokémon are playing around. On a grassy field as the sun sets, several Pokémon are playing around, as a {{p|Cresselia}} floats by. In the big city, several Pokémon are playing on a playground. A Pokémon Trainer that looks like he is from the games brings out a {{p|Magmortar}} to face a {{p|Rhyperior}}. Magmortar hits Rhyperior with {{m|Fire Blast}}. Rhyperior uses {{m|Rock Smash}} while Magmortar uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, creating an explosion. In the garden, {{p|Eevee}}'s [[Evolution|evolutions]] are relaxing and {{p|Luxray}} is playing around.

As the sun rises, {{Ash}} is shown getting ready for a Pokémon battle. {{AP|Pikachu}} uses Thunderbolt on {{p|Electivire}}. Ash and {{ashfr}} arrive at their next destination, which is surrounded by mountains and a lake. Through a forest, a {{p|Shaymin}} is walking through as several {{p|Combee}} fly above. Shaymin arrives at a lake and drinks from it, as a {{p|Dialga}} roars from a different area of the lake. In the [[Reverse World]], {{p|Giratina}} floats around, while a sphere shows Dialga from the regular world. From the regular world, a swirl in the lake shows Giratina from the Reverse World is shown floating around. From his airship, [[Zero]] observes the [[legendary Pokémon]]. As Dialga drinks from the lake, a portal opens as a shadow of Giratina in its Altered forme grabs Dialga, changes to its [[Origin Forme]] and forces it to enter the Reverse World as Shaymin looks on and is dragged along with them. Zero and [[Infi]] observe the whole thing. As Giratina is entering back into the Reverse World, it changes back to its [[Origin Forme]] and hits the ground with Shaymin holding on to Giratina. [[Newton Graceland]] and his {{p|Shieldon}} run up to the two Pokémon and uses an analyzer on his eye to watch the battle between them. As he zooms in, he notices Shaymin on Dialga's tail.

Giratina and Dialga struggle, as Dialga breaks away and tries to exit the portal, as Shaymin lands on top of Giratina after Dialga breaks free. Dialga is able to poke its head through the portal, but Giratina again pulls it back into the Reverse World. Dialga and Giratina fight each other, as Shaymin absorbs a dark purple gas. Giratina uses {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} which hits Dialga as Shaymin hangs in there. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp while Dialga dodges, and Shaymin is sent flying and uses {{m|Seed Flare}} to reopen the portal. Shaymin goes through the portal to the regular world, lands in the lake, and helplessly goes down the stream as Zero watches through his computer screen. Dialga again tries to enter the portal and is able to get its head through, but again Giratina drags it back into the Reverse World. Dialga uses {{m|Aura Sphere}} on Giratina and is able to finally exit the portal to the regular world. Giratina uses a clear beam from its mouth to reopen the portal, but a barrier is blocking it from exiting the Reverse World when it tries to exit. Giratina tries over and over to break through, but just cannot break through the barrier. Giratina's eyes glow red as it roars in frustration.

Dialga is free as the portal fully closes, leaving Giratina in the Reverse World. Dialga heads back to where it came from. Zero watches as Giratina continues to try to break through the barrier to exit the portal. Shaymin continues down the river and down the waterfall. With several {{p|Wingull}} on rocks, {{Ash}} looks out at the lake and then runs up the stairs to where {{an|Brock}} is making pancakes. Brock tells Ash that he must wash his hands, even though Ash pretends that he doesn't need to even with his dirty hands showing. {{an|Dawn}} was already washing her hands. Ash goes to wash his hands as Brock uncovers the [[Pokémon food]] to {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Dawn brings out {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}}, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Ash brings out {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Staravia}}, and {{AP|Buizel}}. Brock brings out {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}, and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. As Ash and {{ashfr}} watch their Pokémon eat, Shaymin crawls on top of the table all covered in soot. Ash goes to eat the pancakes, but sees that Shaymin is eating the food already. Piplup tries to take the pancakes from it, but Shaymin keeps eating and accidentally bites down on Piplup's arm, making Piplup very upset. Shaymin shakes its body, making the soot blow everywhere and making everyone cough. Shaymin jumps on top of Pikachu, Ash's head while biting the hat, and then on top of the barbecue pit. It knocks it over as Brock was ready to use a pan if needed. Shaymin falls to the ground. The barbecue pit explodes as Shaymin absorbs the smoke from it and uses Seed Flare. The Seed Flare creates explosion sending everyone backwards and to the ground. Piplup yells at Shaymin, as the other Pokémon angrily approach it.

Dawn steps in to grab Shaymin before the Pokémon can attack, and brings it to the fountain to wash it off. Shaymin is completely cleaned as everyone looks on and it shakes off all of the water while splashing them. Shaymin reveals that it can communicate telepathically to everyone. Shaymin speaks of "that place" which no one understands what it's referring to. Shaymin turns red as it develops a fever, while Brock checks its forehead. Everyone returns their Pokémon to their {{Ball|Poké}}'s and heads to the [[Pokémon Center]]. At the Pokémon Center, [[Nurse Joy]] and {{p|Chansey}} are using a lamp-like scanner to check Shaymin's condition, as a computer shows the results of the scans. Brock puts on some glasses since Nurse Joy also wears them, and shows his love to her. Croagunk uses {{m|Poison Jab}} to stop him from continuing and drags him away. Dawn feeds Shaymin a brown piece of food. Ash introduces himself and Pikachu, as Shaymin blows smoke in his face. Nurse Joy explains how it absorbs dirty things, and lets them out with Seed Flare. Shaymin likes to make fun of Ash for not understanding what it's talking about. Ash was not pleased with how Shaymin was being so demanding. In another room, {{TRT}} listens in on the conversation about Shaymin. Shaymin jumps on top of Ash's head and makes him take it where it wants to go. Team Rocket closes the door to the other room, and decide that they want to steal Shaymin.

Ash and his friends head outside as Shaymin continues to pull Ash's head in different directions, while Ash is really upset about it. Dawn grabs Shaymin, as it blooms a few more flowers. Giratina senses that, and continues to float around the Reverse World. Shaymin leads everyone another direction through a garden by some triangle-shaped statues. The statues begin to ripple and Giratina is shown floating through on the reflection, as Shaymin senses that something is very wrong. [[James]] picks up Shaymin as Team Rocket tries to run off with it, but a portal opens from one of the triangle statues, and drags them into the Reverse World. Dawn grabs Shaymin from Team Rocket, but Dawn and Ash are also dragged through the portal and into the Reverse World. Brock looks on as the portal closes behind them. Ash and Dawn land on a stone pillar. Shaymin is very scared, as Giratina floats by. Giratina roars as Shaymin is even more scared and thinks that Giratina wants to eat it. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt as Giratina disappears into a shadow using {{m|Shadow Force}} and reappears right behind them. Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} which hits but is not very effective.

Newton Graceland appears out of nowhere in front of Ash and Dawn. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp, while Shieldon counters with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Newton leads them down a pathway that has no gravity, and then to a stairwell which they climb down. Piplup, Pikachu, and Shieldon follow them, but Piplup slips, and Pikachu has to grab him before he falls. Giratina continues floating around the Reverse World. Newton claims to be a Genius Scientist, while Dawn and Ash are skeptical and Shaymin mocks him. Ash and Dawn introduce themselves to Newton. Meanwhile Brock is looking at the statue they entered and is puzzled as to what could have happened to them. Newton shows them a device that can help them find the exit portal to the real world. At a different part of the Reverse World, Team Rocket is puzzled by the way the Reverse World looks. They hide behind a wall, as Giratina floats by them. As Ash, Dawn, and Newton are walking towards the portal, they see a purple smoke. Pikachu and Piplup approach the smoke, as Piplup breaths it in he gets sick from it. Newton tells them not to breathe in the smoke as it is very dangerous. More of the purple smoke appears above them. Newton explains that during the battle between Dialga and Palkia (in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'') caused purple smoke to enter the Reverse World and fill it, making Giratina very angry. It explains why Giratina attacked Dialga early on. The battling between Dialga and Palkia kept opening and closing the portal, which is why the purple smoke was able to enter and fill up the Reverse World. Flashbacks of Dialga and Palkia's battle, and what happened after Giratina dragged Dialga into the Reverse World were shown as Newton was explaining everything. Shaymin still doesn't like Newton. Flowers continue blooming on Shaymin's body. Giratina continues to float around, as Newton uses his device to locate the exit portal.

A bubble appears around Ash and his friends that shows Brock from the real world. Ash and Dawn call to him, but Newton yells at them not to do that. Ash touches the bubble which bursts and sends Brock flying backwards to the ground. They jump across one pillar to another as Giratina floats by. Shaymin pulls Ash to jump across the pillars because Giratina is nearby. Ash almost falls, as he hits the ground hard while Giratina grabs the Shaymin. Ash's hat had hit the ground and started shaking. The real Shaymin comes out of the hat, as they realize that it used {{m|Substitute}} to escape and left the fake in Giratina's mouth. The fake disappears to Giratina's surprise as it floats away. They head up the pathway and reach the portal. Piplup, Pikachu, and Dawn enter the portal and exit back into the real world. Ash asks Newton if he is coming with and he says that he is staying back. Ash enters the portal into the real world, after some convincing by Newton. The portal closes before Team Rocket could enter it.

[[Jessie]] tries to jump into where the portal closed up, but almost falls as Newton saves her. Giratina continues to float around as Zero watches on the screen. Dialga continues to head back to its own world. Ash tries to explain the Reverse World to Brock, as the statue shows Giratina floating around the Reverse World. Zero notices that Dawn is holding Shaymin and heads to where Ash and his friends are at. Shaymin continues to mock Ash about him getting frustrated with not knowing where Shaymin wants them to go. Some {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} show up and surround Ash and his friends, while Zero shows up with a {{p|Magnezone}}. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Magnezone blocks it with {{m|Mirror Shot}}. The explosion it created knocked out some of the Magnemite, as Ash and his friends run away into the alley. Piplup uses {{m|Whirlpool}} to trap the Magnemite so that they won't be able to follow them right away. They pass by a few of the townspeople on the way through the alleyway. The Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone follow them as Ash and his friends board a train to not be seen. The Pokémon search around for them.

Ash and his friends are relieved that they got away from the Pokémon. Shaymin pulls on Ash's ear, which hurts him. Dawn feeds Shaymin some food as Shaymin jumps into her arms. Shaymin mocks Ash some more, making him mad as it blows smoke in his face. Ash yells at Shaymin for blowing smoke in to his face. They speak to some people on the train, as Shaymin jumps into another woman's arms and feels comfortable there. Three more flowers bloom on Shaymin's body. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World. Newton and Team Rocket are hiding from Giratina, and when the coast is clear they keep on moving. A man on the train shows everyone a basket of [[Gracidea|Gracidea flowers]]. The people on the train explain that Shaymin transforms when exposed to Gracidea Flowers, found at the top of the mountain, where all of the Shaymin live. Inside of the train, a ripple is showing a Giratina floating around the Reverse World and the ripple disappears again. Shaymin inhales spores from the flowers and turns into its Sky Forme. Shaymin jumps on Ash's head, and then moves around the train. Everyone decides that they will help Shaymin return to its home.

Magnezone, Magneton, and Magnemite appear near the windows of the train after having caught up with the train. The Magnemite and Magneton break through the windows of the train and prepare to attack. Shaymin goes in the middle of the Pokémon, then floats away as two Magnemite collide with each other. Shaymin uses {{m|Energy Ball}} which hits several of the Pokémon and some leave the train. Two Magnemite try to attack, but Shaymin dodges and they collide with each other. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to send two Magneton out of the train. Two Magnemite attack Pikachu, but he dodges and they collide with each other. Piplup uses BubbleBeam to send the Pokémon out of the window. Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}} and Piplup uses Whirlpool to send more Pokémon away from the train. Two Magnemite try to attack Pikachu, but Shaymin uses Energy Ball to send them away. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send the rest of the Magnemite and Magneton away. Everyone jumps for joy after sending all of them away. Magnezone breaks through the train window and is stuck. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Shaymin uses Energy Ball on Magnezone to send it out of the window and hits the wall of the tunnel. The train enters the tunnel. The camera zooms out to show that the Magnezone, Magneton, and Magnemite have crashed into the wall of the tunnel.

As Wingull fly above the dock, Ash and his friends wave good-bye to the people from the train as they head off to Shaymin's home in a boat. Zero heads back to his airship to continue observing Ash and the others. The base is shown floating in the clouds. As the boat is headed towards Shaymin's home, the Pokémon play around, and the boat passes by some Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein. {{p|Lumineon}} and {{p|Finneon}} are also seen, swimming underwater. Everyone looks on as the {{Type|Water}} Pokémon jump in and out of the water. Shaymin floats all of the way to the sky and then back down to the boat. Piplup also tries to fly, but falls into the water. Piplup swims underwater, and then jumps in and out of the water. {{p|Staravia}} takes Pikachu into the air and flies around. Shaymin and Staravia fly together as Piplup jumps in and out of the water. Piplup tries again to fly but can't. The boat passes a rainbow and some waterfalls. Shaymin flies in and out of the waterfalls while splashing Ash. Shaymin grabs Ash and tries to bring him into the air. Shaymin and Staravia fly by some {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Swablu}}.

Back at Zero's airship, he is watching a video of Newton in the Reverse world as he is talking with Giratina floating around. As Ash and his friends continue down the river, a ripple appears in the water and pulls everyone down into the Reverse world, including their Pokémon. Zero arrives to where they are at with his Pokémon and enters the portal as well with his Pokémon before it closes. Ash and his friends land on a rock pillar. Giratina floats by, as Shaymin uses Energy Ball on it. Shaymin uses another Energy Ball, while Giratina hits back with Shadow Force which sends Shaymin towards a wall. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt which isn't very effective on Giratina, as Shaymin is able to avoid colliding with the wall. As the sun sets, Shaymin uses Energy Ball again on Giratina, but Giratina dodges it. Shaymin uses Energy Ball, but it transforms back into its Land Forme. Shaymin falls but Staravia was able to save it. Shaymin jumps back to Ash and his friends, but lands on Ash while knocking him down. As they run away from Giratina, Shaymin is on Ash's head. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Giratina dodges and uses Will-O-Wisp which everyone dodges.

Newton waves for them to follow him from an upside-down position. Ash and his friends follow him and are also walking upside down on the path and through a cave, as Giratina floats by. Ash recalls Staravia back to its {{Ball|Poké}}. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World as Zero looks on with his Pokémon. In the cave, everyone runs into Team Rocket as they give some water to Newton. Ash asks why he is trusting them. Shaymin jumps off of Ash's head and mocks {{MTR}}. Meowth is upset and Shaymin blows smoke in his face. A couple of Magnemite grab Shaymin and take it to Zero. Ash and his friends reach Zero, but several Magnemite trap them so they cannot move. The Magnemite circle around and send the dangerous purple gas floating towards everyone as they hold their breath to not breathe it in. The Magnemite bring Shaymin inside of the purple gas and it absorbs the gas. Giratina continues to float around the Reverse World and heads towards Shaymin. Shaymin uses Seed Flare to create a major explosion sending everyone backwards as Giratina roars. The explosion causes the portal to reopen and pull everyone up to the real world. Shaymin is completely exhausted after using Seed Flare. Giratina follows them into the real world while looking like a pink shadow. As Giratina lands, it turns into its Altered Forme. Zero also enters the portal back into the real world along with his Pokémon. Zero's airship heads towards everyone and uses a red laser to prevent Giratina from moving. A red cage attached to the airship surrounds Giratina and traps it inside. The cage begins draining Giratina's energy. Zero jumps onto the cage as it heads back to the airship. The cage attaches to the airship while still draining Giratina's energy, as Zero jumps onto the airship.

The computer inside the airship displays Giratina and the amount of energy that was being drained. A red 3D diamond shape surrounds Giratina while draining its energy, as Ash and his friends look on. Newton tells everyone that Zero used to work under him until he became completely obsessed with Giratina's power and wanted to capture Giratina and drain its power. He became obsessed after seeing graphs of Giratina and how its possible to gather energy. This was shown in a flashback. Everyone boards a hovercraft car after Dawn places Shaymin on the ground. As Shaymin absorbs spores from the Gracidea Flowers, it turns back into its Sky Forme. Shaymin flies around before heading towards the airship, with Newton, Ash, and Dawn following it. Brock was left behind on the ground and he is very disappointed. Zero sends her Pokémon to go after Ash and his friends. Magnezone tries to hit Shaymin with {{m|Shock Wave}} as Shaymin keeps dodging. Shaymin uses Energy Ball which lands a [[critical hit]] on Magnezone. Magnemite and Magneton use Thunderbolt on Ash and his friends, while they keep dodging the attacks.

Zero goes inside of his airship, as Ash and his friends approach the airship. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to try to break the cage that is surrounding Giratina. The attacks were unable to break the cage. The Magnemite and Magneton uses Thunderbolt on everyone, but Shaymin blocks the attack with Energy Ball. Magnezone uses Mirror Shot at Shaymin, while Shaymin dodges it. Magnezone tries Mirror Shot again, as it hits Shaymin and knocks it down towards the ground. Ash and his friends were able to grab Shaymin before it hit the ground. Piplup uses BubbleBeam, while Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to attack the Magnemite and Magneton so that they can get through. They land on the airship, as Piplup uses BubbleBeam and Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to hold back the Magnemite and Magneton. Shieldon uses {{m|Flash Cannon}} to make a hole in the entrance as they head inside. The computer screen shows that 50 percent of Giratina's energy has been drained. Chimchar uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Buizel uses {{m|SonicBoom}} to hold off the Magnemite and Magneton. Buizel uses {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{p|Ambipom}} uses {{m|Swift}}, Piplup uses BubbleBeam, and Buneary uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to keep holding Magnemite and Magneton back. Shaymin uses Energy Ball to help hold them back as well. The amount of energy absorbed from Giratina reaches 74 percent by the time Newton reaches the computer.

The Pokémon continue attacking the Magnemite and Magneton, as Giratina keeps suffering inside of the cage. With a device from his [[bag|backpack]], Newton types on the keyboard of the computer while trying to shut down the energy draining of the machine. Zero's assistant lets her know that Newton is trying to end the energy draining. Newton finishes the typing and presses a red button to stop the energy drainage at 99 percent. The cage around Giratina disappears as it falls to the base of the cage. The engines of the airship were also shut down, as the ship heads towards the ground. The Pokémon are returned to their Poké Balls, as Ash and his friends jump on the hover car so that they do not crash to the ground with the airship. Everyone heads to check on Giratina, but it slips from the cage and falls in the water as Brock looks on. Zero sends a small ship into the water, and the airship crashes into the forest as the forest Pokémon run away from the ship. Giratina climbs out of the water and collapses to the ground, as Ash and his friends head to where Giratina collapsed.

Giratina appears to be dead, as everyone and the forest Pokémon gather around. Much to everyone's relief, Giratina takes a breath. Shaymin uses {{m|Aromatherapy}} to completely heal Giratina. Shaymin is exhausted, and Giratina roars after being completely healed. Shaymin hides behind Ash since it is still fearful of Giratina. Ash and Pikachu tell Giratina that they saved its life. Giratina is very thankful for everything Ash, his friends, and the Pokémon did for it. Shaymin no longer fears Giratina. In the small ship that went into the water, Zero comes out of the water and head towards everyone. Zero sends an attack towards Giratina, as Giratina counters with Will-O-Wisp. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, Piplup uses BubbleBeam, and Shieldon uses Flash Cannon towards Zero's Ship, while only Flash Cannon makes contact with the ship. Zero uses some airwaves to reopen the portal, and uses it to enter the Reverse World.

After Zero enters the Reverse World, Team Rocket notices him, and tries to flag him down so that they can escape back to the real world. In one of the crystals of the Reverse World, Zero sees Ash and his friends. Zero destroys the crystal with Ash and his friends. The breaking of the crystal sent a shock wave that knocked everyone to the ground. Giratina uses a clear beam from its mouth to reopen the portal, and enter the Reverse World. Ash jumps into the hover car, and heads into the portal to the Reverse World as well. Zero moves through the purple smoke and continues moving through the Reverse World. Zero begins breaking the ice crystals in the Reverse World which have an effect in the real world. A glacier breaks apart and slides down towards the [[Ten'i Village]]. In the temple, a {{p|Regigigas}} wakes up during the commotion. Zero continues breaking ice crystals, while in the real world the glaciers keep breaking. A herd of {{p|Mamoswine}} notice the glaciers heading towards the village. A glacier is moving through the lake as Zero watches what's going on. Zero continues to break ice crystals, as Giratina floats by and uses Will-O-Wisp to hit the ship. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, while Shaymin uses Energy Ball to also hit the ship. Giratina roars at the ship.

In the real world, {{p|Swinub}} uses {{m|Ice Shard}}, Buneary, {{p|Bibarel}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Furret}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} all use Ice Beam to freeze the lake to be able to stop the glacier from moving. Giratina uses {{m|Shadow Claw}} on the ship, but Zero pushes it against a wall. Zero attacks Giratina with his ship, while Giratina dodges and uses Will-O-Wisp to hit the ship. Ash pulls up next to Zero. Shaymin and Turtwig use Energy Ball, Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, and Chimchar uses Flamethrower on the ship. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp on the ship. The Ship attacks and Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp, as both attacks create an explosion. Meanwhile, back in the real world, the glacier begins to break through the ice barrier that the Pokémon created. Newton recalls that it has happened before. Buneary uses Ice Beam and Swinub uses Ice Shard to try to stop the glacier, but it keeps on going. Regigigas appears on the top of the mountain, along with many Mamoswine that it has summoned. On the other side of the mountain, even more Mamoswine arrive as well.

Back in the Reverse World, Zero attacks Giratina with his ship, as Giratina hits the ground. Zero attacks with his ship again, as several ice pillars land on top of Giratina. Ash calls Giratina's name. Regigigas and all of the Mamoswine try to hold back the large glacier. It keeps moving even when they push it back. Regigigas uses {{m|Crush Grip}} on the glacier to try to hold it back. Meanwhile, back in the Reverse World, Zero tries to finish off Giratina with another attack, but Pikachu's Thunderbolt collides with it and creates an explosion. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, Shaymin uses Energy Ball, and Chimchar uses Flamethrower to attack the ship. Zero hits Ash and his Pokémon with part of the ship, and knocks them off of the hover car and onto his ship. Zero uses gripping claws to grab Turtwig and Chimchar, as Ash and Pikachu run away from them. Ash is cornered, as the claws come towards him. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Shaymin uses Energy Ball to destroy them. Ash recalls Turtwig and Chimchar to their Poké Balls to get them out of the grip of the claws. Zero shows himself to Ash, as Pikachu gets ready to use Thunderbolt on him. Giratina is still stuck underneath the ice pillars, as the purple smoke floats by with Team Rocket looking on. Zero closes his ship door, as he takes the ship into the purple smoke. Ash and Pikachu try to not breathe in the smoke, as Shaymin steps in to absorb the smoke.

Back in the real world, Regigigas keeps trying to hold back and stop the glacier with Crush Grip. In the Reverse World, enough of the purple smoke has cleared, so that Ash and Pikachu are able to breathe again. The claws go after Pikachu and Shaymin again, as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to send them back. Giratina grabs part of the ship and tries to bring it to the ground, but Zero uses a beam to attack Giratina. Shaymin uses Seed Flare to reopen the portal so that they can reenter the real world. Zero tries to attack Shaymin with his ship, but Shaymin was able to hit it with Seed Flare to stop the attack. The portal opens as Team Rocket holds on to the ground, and Ash holds onto the ship so that they do not fall. Giratina uses Will-O-Wisp on the ship as it goes through the portal, and crashes onto the ice in the real world. Mamoswine and Buneary use Ice Beam, and Swinub uses Ice Shard to freeze the ship in place. The whole ship shuts down. Shaymin goes through the portal into the real world, and crashes down onto the ice. Shaymin flies into the air, turns into its Land Forme, and falls into Dawn's arms. The portal closes, as Team Rocket, Ash, and Giratina are still trapped inside of the Reverse World.

Ash rides on Giratina, as they float around the Reverse World. Giratina uses its powers to restore the ice pillars back to the way they were. In the real world, the glacier finally stops in its place. A portal opens up in the real world, as Giratina and Ash come through into the real world and Ash waves to everyone. Shaymin turns back to its Land Forme after coming into contact with the ice. Giratina comes down onto the ice, as Ash jumps off to be with his friends. Giratina roars and flies high into the sky, as Newton uses a gadget of his to analyze it. Later on, many more Shaymin appear in the field of flowers. As the sun rises, the Gracidea Flowers bloom as the other Shaymin turn into their Sky Forme and fly into the sky. Shaymin cries as it enters the field of Gracidea Flowers and turns into its Sky Forme, as it flies high into the sky. The flower petals go flying as the Shaymin circle around in the sky. The Shaymin fly over everyone's heads and head far off into the distance. Ash and Dawn tear up as they say their final good-byes to Shaymin.

During the credits, pictures of Ash and his friends sending Gracidea Flowers and heading off in a bot. Regigigas was shown looking over the ice-covered area as the Mamoswine run around. Ash and his friends made it onto the dock, as Ash catches up to Pikachu while he was running. Zero's ship is unfrozen, as Newton helps him out of the ship, and [[Officer Jenny]] arrests him. The delivery man is shown delivering the Gracidea Flower gift baskets to everyone's families. Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone were floating around the tunnel, and Lairon was on the ground around them. Team Rocket is shown to be back in the real world, as they walk by the temple and Regigigas attacks them which blasts them off. Shaymin is shown sleeping prior to the sun rising, and then it turns into its Sky Forme as soon as the sun rises. Ash and his friends head off to their next destination in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

==Events==
[[File:Shaymin distro08.png|thumb|Shaymin distribution artwork]]
===Pre-order distributions===
Fans who pre-order their tickets in Japan were allowed to obtain a Regigigas knowing {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, and {{m|Icy Wind}}, moves that represent {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}, respectively. These were later made available at Toys "R" Us stores in America. These Regigigas allow players to obtain Registeel, Regirock, and Regice in Platinum, which, in turn, allow them to obtain a level 1 Regigigas in Platinum as well.

===Movie distributions===
Fans could obtain Shaymin in theaters in Japan and at Toys "R" Us stores in America. These allow players to obtain the Gracidea Flower to change Shaymin into its Sky Forme.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin Music Collection}}

==Reception==

It took second place in the Japanese box office from its release during July 19-20, where 982,000 people spending ¥1,018,770,000 (US $9,463,400) and was beaten by ''{{wp|Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea}},'' which 1,251,107 people spent ¥1,575,820,000 (about $14,638,000) to see.

It is tracking at 89.8% of the box office performance of the last year's Pokémon film, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' (Japanese ''Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai''), which eventually earned a franchise record of ¥5.02 billion (US $47 million).

==Trivia==
* The ending theme song for the movie is ''[[ONE]]'' by [[Crystal Kay]] while the English dub ending song for the movie is ''[[This is a Beautiful World]]'' by Aaron Brotherton.
* This movie is the first time the Pokémon anime in any form is presented in an {{wp|high-definition television|HDTV}} format in addition to {{wp|standard-definition television|standard definition}} in its initial airing.
* This is the first movie to have the introduction credits take place during the title sequence.
* This is the first movie to be a sequel of a previous movie. Although ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' is a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', it is an anime special rather than a Pokémon movie.
* This movie marks the first time that [[Brock's siblings|Brock's family]] and [[Johanna|Dawn's mother]] appear in a movie, and the first time {{Delia}} appears in a movie since ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.
* This movie marks the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{p|Mew}} made a second appearance after ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the {{p|Dialga}} in this movie is the same one that battled with {{p|Palkia}} over [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
** This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film.
* Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} and Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}} debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in {{game|Platinum}}.
* Palkia doesn't have a role in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. It only makes a cameo in a flashback. This marks the second time that a Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first being in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (one of whose posters showed {{AP|Treecko}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, which did not play a role in the film). The poster for the non-Japanese release of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' also showed several unused Pokémon in stock poses.
* The mother and girl that were reading the legend of [[Rota]] in the beginning of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and were seen buying a cotton candy and running away from Darkrai in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' are seen again making a cameo in this movie.
* {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Brendan}} make a cameo in the opening of the movie, battling with {{p|Magmortar}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}, respectively. This may reference the meeting of their female counterparts, who battled in the finals of the [[Wallace Cup]].
* The movie shows {{p|Eevee}} and all the [[Eeveelution]]s ({{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}}) during the opening sequence.
* While marketed as a Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl movie, the series logo has the katakana for ''Platinum'' added to the bottom.
* The Japanese release of this movie was also added to the {{wp|Guinness World Records}} for greatest advance sales for an animated film after pre-sale ticket counts totaled 2,384,198 in Japan.
* The English promotional image prior to the US DVD release has an error; Giratina's face is missing a line from its eye to its nose.
* The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - {{wp|Sognefjorden}} (the second largest {{wp|Fjord}} in the world), {{wp|Jostedalsbreen}} (the largest glacier in Europe), and {{wp|Bergen}} (the second largest city in Norway). The scene with the Glacier threatening to destroy the town was based on a little town of {{wp|Geiranger}}, where it's threatened by a collapsing mountainside.
* Despite it being released in [[Generation I]], this movie is the first time any Pokémon has used {{m|Substitute}}.
===Errors===
* When Ash and Dawn are pulled into the Reverse World for the first time, Piplup's arms are the same color as its head and "cape".
* When Piplup attempts to use {{m|BubbleBeam}} on Giratina, Shaymin's flowers are a dark purple (the color they become when Shaymin absorbs pollution).
* When Shaymin is about to approach Meowth, a few frames show its front paw has three toes instead of two.
* During a scene in the Reverse World when Shaymin is in its Sky Forme, it uses its Land Forme's voice.
* When the last {{p|Magneton}} leaves the train to escape out the window, it uses the voice of a {{p|Magnemite}}.

Talk:Kyurem (Pokémon)

2012-09-15T09:04:41Z

Kyro-Dizzy: /* Description */

{{Forme info|646Kyurem{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: H}} mod 3}}|0=|1=-Black|2=-White}}.png{{!}}96px|Dragon|Ice|[[Form differences|Kyurem's Formes]]|Kyurem as though it were {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: H}} mod 3}}|0=basic Kyurem|1=White Kyurem|2=Black Kyurem}}|the art, Ability, height, weight, and anime screenshot shown on the article|hour}}

==Third version==
Before anyone else decides to talk about it, yeah, I'm pretty much gonna guarantee it being the mascot of BW's third version. No further discussion on this. Until we get the announcement and boxart. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
:Unfair. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_unique_type_combinations&action=historysubmit&diff=1189335&oldid=1189330 I already did that].--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

What will be the name of the third game?
- Pokémon White Version Reshiram
- Pokémon Black Version Zekrom
- Pokémon Grey Version Kyurem

It could be, don't ya think?Sakas 19:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)SakasFixe
:Didn't TTE just say "no further discussion on this"? That's speculation and belongs on the forums, not here. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

You are bad for people. You want something related to "discussion" you'll have it: Where is the Official artwork of Ken Sugimori? Happy? {{unsigned|SakasFixe}}
:There is no Sugimori artwork yet for the non-pre-release Pokemon. But that doesn't belong here on Kyurem's talk. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 22:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

==Norse==
"It may also be based on the {{wp|Wyvern}} of {{wp|Norse}} mythology, said to wreck havoc in {{wp|Ragnarök}}, the end of the world, should it melt from the ice it was imprisoned in."

That's what I've been told. Anyone able to confirm/dismiss that? {{unsigned|Yurtablemoron}}
:Nope, not true. - [[User:050294|050294]] 14:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

That's basically what Reshiram is (minus the ice) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the norsh myth theory also perhaps it has connections to Fimbulvetr? The harsh winter where men will wage ceaseless war against each other
and brothers will kill each other= the two brothers using Regish and Zec sound plausible? [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 12:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

==Overworld Sprite==
I don't think this sentence in the physiology section is necessary: "It should be noted that on its overworld sprite, the left part of its overall bodyparts is somehow broken and smaller than the right part." The smaller part is correct, sure, but it isn't broken--it's just smaller because of the perspective. Same goes for its forward-facing battle sprite. At the very least, "overall bodyparts" should be changed to just "body." [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 03:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Feelings? ==

Out of curiosity, how is Kyurem a "Feelings Pokémon"? I think that 境界 ''kyoukai'' (boundary) would make more sense than 胸懐 ''kyoukai'' (heart/feelings). Though, there's the possibility that "Kyoukai" could be from 鏡 ''kyou'' (mirror) and 灰 ''kai'' (gray/grey/ash/griseous). [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 08:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:The in-game description, according to Veekun, is きょうかい . Compare it to Reshiram's はくよう (white yang) and Zekrom's こくいん (black yin), and we may find something. [[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 06:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

== Kyurem Origin ==

As Zekrom and Reshiram are both based on types of energy, is it possible that Kyurem is based on {{wp|Cold Fusion}}? --[[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 07:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sigh... Cold Fusion has nothing to do with ice. It's a theoretical variation on a typical fusion reaction which can be done at or near ROOM TEMPERATURE. I removed this origin already, but it keeps getting added. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 10:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Kyurem's page says that it '''is''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon. But it isn't expressly stated that he arrived on that meteor- it's only a legend, same as Clefairy. Neither is there any mention of Kyurem's name in the game when discussing it. Shouldn't it say "'''may be''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon", or something similar? [[User:Soma K.|Soma K.]] 21:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

== Kyurem's Tail Resembles..... ==
- Reshiram's Tail resembles a Jet Engine
- Zekrom's Tail resembles an Electric Generator

But we still don't know what Kyurem's tail looks like. Any ideas?[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 02:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:A Plug! look at how it's shaped and then look at the lightbulb things on it's wings [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::Doesn't looks like one to me. :/ [[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 08:44, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::: Looks like a plug to me - it's got [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/22/Spr_b_g5_646.png three] prongs, like [http://www.advin.com/plug-USA-W512.JPG this]. --[[User:Poppy Appletree|Poppy]] [[User talk:Poppy Appletree|:3]] 15:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
::::It is not quite like that image, it does have three prongs though it looks more like one of those plastic pizza tables they use to hold the box up then a plug... [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 19:45, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:::: Could be a bunch of icicles (imagine the tail pointing down to the ground) --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
::::: A plug: http://www.reuk.co.uk/Dual-Powered-Lighting-Circuit.htm Scroll down to the first image. [[User:Don't Hug Lucario!|Don't Hug Lucario!]] 16:30, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Looks like a glacure.[[User:WWWAJG|WWWAJG]] 22:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

== Pokemon.jp Pokedex pic ==

I'm thinking it would be a good replacement for the current infobox picture, which not only is tiny, but comes up all pixellated in its file description area. I can't extract from a Flash-based site or upload here, but I know there's people who can. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] 19:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== National PokeDex ==

Other than the event legendarie, Kyurem (And Landorus), according the the guide books, are NOT required to complete the National PokeDex. Why it is like this is what I d0on't lnow, since Kyurem can be caught in any copy of B/W, and Landorus not being required is also unusual because Tornadus and Thundurus are, which both ultimately unlock Landorus anyways. Would it be worth trivia for both of them? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 14:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

== shiny sprite ==

Kyurem is grey and it's shiny sprite is -black and white- with the eye color being a combined version of Zekrom's red eyes and Reshiram's blue eyes, notable? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 19:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
: I don't think, but wait for more opinions --[[User:SamuStar|SamuStar]] 21:05, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

== Um...... ==

It is currently the final officially-revealed Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
Huh? --[[User:K4kirin|K4kirin]] 08:32, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
:Kyurem is the last Pokémon in the Pokédex. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 08:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

== New Movie? ==

Oha Suta has revealed a teaser trailer for a movie, it appears that Kyurem and the Musketeer Quartet will be in it.
[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vHEgvv8LEjE Pokémon Movie 15-Kyurem VS. The Sacred Swordsman Teaser Trailer]
--[[User:Flying Bidoof|Flying Bidoof]] 12:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
*We know, its in Kyurem's 'In the anime' section. and the page is already being made: [[M15]] {{unsigned|AquaMaster}}

== Ideals, truth and dreams. ==

Drayden told me the third one (dreams) is also in this row (so it would be Kyurem's one). Adding? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 16:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
:Still speculation at the moment. Better to leave it out until is is officially associated with dreams. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

== Imprison Level ==

Do you consider it noteworthy that the levels at which Kyurem (and by extension Reshiram and Zekrom) attempt(s) to learn Imprison are 8 and 64? 8² = 64 and so the root of 64 is eight. Since the games draw some inspiration from mathematics, as seen in N, N's Themes and the boats in Castelia City this might be programmed in intentionally.

[[User:Renoir|Renoir]] 23:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

== New Forms ==

Looks like Kyurem gets two new forms: [[Image:M15_poster.png|thumb]] [[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 23:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
:It's been confirmed that the formes are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Types are waiting for confirmation, although I've heard a couple websites saying that Black Kyurem is Dragon/Electric and White Kyurem is Dragon/Fire. --'''[[User:Trickyb|Tricky]][[User Talk:Trickyb|B]] 01:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::The usual Bulbapedia protocol is to wait for official sources before we add new info. So until that happens we're gonna wait it out. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:17, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Um isn't Pokemon Smash an official source?? Cuz the forms were revealed on there.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 01:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::::I've read that they will be Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire respectively, but that makes more sense. We must all wait and see...--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 01:20, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::I was referring to the types not the forms themselves. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::They '''are''' going to be Ice/Electric and Ice/Fire, i've just realized. Firstly, look at the new logos, they have Ice crytals with the second types color on them. Also look at the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Kyurem_forms.png full picture] there is ice encroaching all over the old B/W background. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 03:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Guys... remember this page is to discuss how to improve the article, not to speculate or add your own personal thoughts on what types Kyurem's forms might be.

:I don't think it's appropriate to put the artwork for the new forms in the infobox for Kyurem until we know more about them. [[User:ThomasWinwood|ThomasWinwood]] 09:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:: ^this. Masuda confirmed that Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are seperate Pokémon so I'm perplexed as to why Black Kyurem is even the infobox image on the Kyurem page. [[User:Ewkay|Ewkay]] 11:00, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia ==
"There is placeholder data for an alternate form of Kyurem in Pokémon Black and White. There was the same type of placeholder data for Rotom, Giratina, and Shaymin in Diamond and Pearl." - Could an admin expand on this now, explaining how its two new forms have been revealed? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 09:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I also think it would be worth noting that Kyurem is the first Pokemon to be the version mascot of two games in the same generation.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 12:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Art Descriptions ==

For Kyurem's alternate formes, why does it say "Art by Ken Sugimori from Black 2", etc.? For every other released Pokémon, it says something like "Art by Ken Sugimori from Ruby ''and Sapphire''", even for a version exclusive like Groudon. [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 21:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:Mostly because I was confused by the switch. D: There would be three image switches, and two different captions. I didn't want it to end up with BW art and saying "Art from Black and White 2", and I also didn't want to be redundant and have Black White 2 be listed twice. But I have nothing against someone using both titles for the artworks.

==Placeholder==
In the trivia, what do you mean by "placeholder data for alternative formes"? [[User:RedYoshi|RedYoshi]] 22:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Kyurem had no alternate forms in BW, when a pokemon has no alternate forms they are given a value of Zero in that "section", Kyurem had a Value of one implying that we would see more forms.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 22:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Wendigo? ==

I recently say a picture of a monster called "Wendigo," a winter spirit of starvation and cannibalism. It also looks like White Kyurem. Could White Kyurem be based off it? the winter part reflects Kyurem's ice type, the starvation part could be why White Kyurem is so skinny, and the cannibalism could be why Kyurem is said to eat other Pokemon and people. Here is a picture of a Wendigo, from myexistenz.com [http://www.myexistenz.com/x/article15/article1/Wendigo.jpg] [[User:Khimerami|Khimerami]] 18:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

:::: Legendary Pokémon are based on all sorts of myths from various cultures, why should that matter? Anyway, wikipedia mentions that the Wendigo mainly possessed or transformed humans, and especially prefers cannibals. It doesn't really mention the Wendigo itself carrying off humans away to eat, which is more or less what Kyurem did. So I'm not sure if there is that much relevance.

[http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/swf/player/trailer120413_yokoku2.html This trailer from the official Pokémon movie website] shows Kyurem using an attack involving fire, which is speculated to be [[Ice Burn]]. After use, an orange ball of energy appears within its tail, it flies upward and becomes surrounded in an orange stream of energy and emerges as White Kyurem. Since it is from an official source (however, not directly linked to the games)i think it is worth mentioning.

== You guys have the wrong palette for Kyurem's party sprite ==

I'm assuming you guys used the Veekun rip. That rip uses an incorrect palette ID. Notice how the thing on Kyurem's head that's supposed to be yellow is purple on Veekun's icon rip. I checked my game, it uses a different palette than Veekun's incorrect rip, and the thing is yellow, unlike the bad rip where its purple. Here's a more accurate rip:

==Description==

It says "its tail appears to be some sort of propulsion device; exactly what it is based on is unclear, though it may be a damaged turbine". It looks like a plug, likely as a reference that Kyurem absorbs energy instead of generating it (unlike Reshiram and Zekrom) to get more power (the new formes).
