'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{p|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face formed by its tusks crossing diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{p|Magneton}} or {{p|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{p|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

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

===Special abilities===
Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{p|Alakazam}}. As a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, it can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together. Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Possessing four brains, Metagross is an extremely wise Pokémon with unmatched intelligence. However, it is known to be a vicious predator-using its weight, it traps its prey under its body and devours them. Some are very aggressive and territorial of their homes and will not hesitate to attack intruders that trespass.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas along with its evolutionary lines, but are even rarer than their pre-evolutions. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground. They can occasionally be found in [[Giant Chasm]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==

[[File:Sugimori Metagross AG.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] reference sheet for the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mov|Rebecca}}.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A wild {{Shiny}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked {{TRT}}. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

A wild Metagross appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Magnezone}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

===Minor appearances===
[[File:Shiny Metagross.png|thumb|left|220px|Shiny Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

Another Metagross appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Baccer]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Steven Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Art of {{Steven}} and his Metagross]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{Steven}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{p|Metang}} and many {{p|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

{{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} also mentioned of having a Metagross which has yet to be seen.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[Koya]] has a Metagross which first appeared in ''[[DPA23|A New Battle Begins!]]''.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Metagross.png|220px|right|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

====Trophy Information====

''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''

'''Luxray''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レントラー''' ''Rentorar'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Luxio}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Shinx}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Its appearance is based on that of a fully-grown lion. It has three rings on the backs of its legs, similar to Luxio (which has two) and Shinx (which has one) and has red eyes. Luxray has a spiky black mane that covers its head down to its legs. Its back legs are black and blue and it has a black tail with a star-like shape on the tip.

====Gender differences====
The female has a shorter {{wp|mane}} than the male.

====Special abilities====
Luxray have extraordinary eyesight. It is so powerful that they can see through most objects, like x-ray vision.

===Behavior===
Luxray are extremely vicious and predatorial, although when tamed and trained correctly they can become very loyal and faithful, protecting their Trainer from danger. They tend to be stubborn and can administer extreme amounts of power through their electricity. Because of their flawless x-ray like vision, practically nothing can go unseen by their eyes. Abusing a Luxray can cause it to become antagonistic and vengeful towards their Trainer. Luxray need a lot of compassion and praise to maintain their satisfaction, as they are proud creatures. While generally independent, Luxray may band together in large groups and look out for one another in the wild.

===Habitat===
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In the wild, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray generally hunt for food.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
A Luxray made an appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. During [[Alice]]'s flashback, [[Alicia]] was running up a hill to the garden. She saw Luxray fire a {{m|Hyper Beam}} upon {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}}, but Darkrai retaliated with a {{m|Dark Void}}, trapping Luxray into a nightmare. However, Alice played [[Oración]], allowing it and the other effected Pokémon to sleep peacefully.

[[Marble]] owns a Luxray, appearing in ''[[DP059|Luxray Vision!]]''.

Another Luxray appeared in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'' under the ownership of [[Volkner]]. It also appearaed in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' where it was used in the Gym battle against {{Ash}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Luxray is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

Another Luxray got a cameo in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeffrey]].

{{main|Rayhiko}}
Later, when the trio are traveling through [[Mt. Coronet]], a Luxray that evolved from a {{p|Luxio}} they had helped earlier in their journey saved {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} after they were trapped by a rock slide. This same Luxray later appeared to Pearl as he was traveling to [[Lake Valor]], and after defeating the {{p|Houndoom}} that was trying to burn them alive, joined him as his third Pokémon, now named [[Rayhiko]].

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Hareta]]'s {{p|Luxio}} evolved into Luxray during his {{si|Pokémon League}} battle with [[Koya]].

==Trivia==
*Even though it is shown attacking with its claws in the anime, it couldn't learn {{m|Scratch}} or any other claw-based moves until {{game|Platinum}}, where a [[move tutor]] can teach it {{m|Fury Cutter}}.
*Luxray is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 523.
*Even though Luxray is renowned for its x-ray like vision, there is no attack or ability associated with it. It cannot even learn {{m|Foresight}}.
*Luxray is the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Superpower}}.
*Luxray was the first {{type2|Electric}} to ever use {{m|Shock Wave}} in the anime despite countless Pokémon using the move before it.

===Origin===
Luxray is based on an adult male {{wp|lion}}, or possibly the constellation Leo, due to the fact that it resembles a lion and bears a star shape on the end of its tail.
====Name origin====
Luxray is derived from lux, a measure of brightness, and x-ray, referring to its x-ray eyes.
Its Japanese name is a combination of {{wp|Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen|Röntgen}}, the physicist who discovered X-rays, and 虎 ''tora'', tiger.

Talk:Size discrepancies in the animated series

2012-02-19T19:52:47Z

Leaf494:

Don't forget Ponyta, it was like way taller then it should be in the Flam-Pokeathon. - Kojiro

:And Charizard! That Fire Pokémon is far bigger in the anime than in the games! - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 00:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::I would have to say that I think the height and weight of a Pokémon mentioned in the Pokédex is mostly an average, like saying humans have an average height while we all have different ones. We know Pokémon are born small and grow larger, not just when they evolve. Aside from the obvious example of Kangaskhan, look at Gary's Krabby. When Ash caught his Krabby (I remember as this was the first Pokémon Ash caught that was instantly sent to Prof. Oak), it was average Krabby size. When Ash checked on it one day with Prof. Oak, it was with Gary's Krabby, which was significantly larger. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 03:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's an average, but with some Pokemon like Roselia the difference is absurd enough to make Drew's seem like a freak of nature. It was three times the size of a "normal" Roselia. --[[User:Zeta|Zeta]] 05:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
::Why has Mantine been removed?--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 09:56, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

What should really be the authority, though? Of course, in the games, the Pokédex entries are averages, but I've always thought of the anime as being more realistic than the games, and thus more like what the creators had in mind. So, maybe the games are wrong to start with? --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 22:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
:That's ridiculous. How can the original medium the franchise (and most Pokémon) debuted on be wrong while one of its adaptations is correct? Do you also consider Ground Pokémon to be susceptible to Electric attacks rather than immune to them, seeing how that's the way they were portrayed in the Anime? - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 16:49, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

== Numel ==

I remember an episode where a random girl had a ranch of {{p|Numel}}s and it whas hilarious ROFL. THOSE NUMELS WERE AT LEAST 5'0" TALL!!! I mean because their actual size is something like a dog... 2'0" I think. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 03:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
:Think about what Numel is based on, a dromedary. That makes 2'0" seem very small, since adult dromedaries can be taller than most humans. --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 22:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

dont reply to old comments....especially 2 year old ones... ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC))

== Gabite ==

I'm adding [[Urara]]'s Gabite on the page. It says Gabite is normally 4'7. Ash Dawn and are around 5 foot. When Urara shows up, she's around the same height. Then, when she sends her Gabite out, its gotta be at least a couple inches taller than her AND Ash and Dawn.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 11:39, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Could it be possible that the heights (and indeed weights) listed in the Pokédex are just averages? This could well be possible, as even in the Generation II games there is a man at the Lake of Rage who is looking for large Magikarp, and he tells you how big the Magikarp is that you caught. And the Dunsparce that was the size of a Pidgey could be a young one. Just a theory! [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 12:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Averages? ==

Could it be possible that the heights and weights listed in the Pokédex are just averages? In the Generation II games there is a man at Lake of Rage who is looking for large Magikarp, and he tells you how big yours are; some of them are bigger than they are mentioned to be in the Pokédex. And the Pidgey-sized Dunsparce in Following a Maiden's Voyage could have been a baby. Just a theory! [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 12:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:Ehh, I guess so. In generation III games, the brothers that are arguing about the biggest Lotad/Seedot.. As I recall. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 12:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== What about Chingling ==

*They were almost bigger than Chimecho in the episode where they made their debut. --[[User:Kid Sonic|Kid Sonic]] 16:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

==Height and length==
Regarding Dunsparce, Ekans and Seviper: Height, in these cases, ''does'' refer to length. You can see this by using the size comparison feature of the Pokedex. A stretched-out Ekans would be 2m, but coiled up, it's naturally going to be smaller. Put simply, the Dex seems to measure height sometimes, and length at other times, depending on the body type of the Pokémon. The figures quoted for serpent, fish-like and arthropod-like Pokémon actually seems to be length, which is the only meaningful way of measuring them. Vertical height seems to be used for bipeds, quadrupeds, birds and anything amorphous. There are a few anomalies with this (Furret's measurement is actually head-to-tail and not vertical) but it seems to hold in the majority of cases. With that in mind, I'm going to removed the aforementioned entries. [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 15:14, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
:On second thoughts, I've only removed Ekans, since it's the only one that this really applies to. That Dunsparce in DP001 ''was'' tiny, whether you measure it in length or height, and the issue with Seviper seems to be inconsistency. I can't say I've noticed this, but I'll leave it in for now. For Dunsparce and Seviper, I've removed the comments that the height might refer to length - because, while it does, it wouldn't actually make any difference to these cases either way.

==Anime heights and “average height”==
It’s pretty ridiculous to refer to exact measurements in the anime. Someone with more patience than me should go and remove them all. Instead, we should just use comparisons in prose to indicate the difference. For example: 
“One of the more infamous size changes is the height of [[Roselia]]. In the Pokédex, an average Roselia extremely small - only about {{tt|1'00"|0.3m}} tall. At this size, it would not come up to most humans’ knees. However, the Roselia in the anime come up to a 10-year old child’s waist, meaning they are well over twice as tall, perhaps 3 times their average size in the games. This caused much confusion when [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]] both featured the Pokémon at its actual size, as it looked tiny to anime fans, when compared to the images they were used to.”. I also cleaned up the prose a bit in that example because frankly the writing in this article stinks link last week’s garbage. 
Wailmer is close to being O.K. and only needs a slight adjustment: “[[Wailmer]] are generally {{tt|6'07"|2.0m}}, 7-10" taller than an average adult human male, although the one in “[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]” was shown to be more than twice the size of Ash.”. We need to use the tooltips, parentheses look awful. I’m doing it this way because it is how measurements appear in the infoboxes on species articles, although if most English games worldwide use the metric system, perhaps we should flip that. Also, make sure the calculations are correct! And where do the character heights come from? Are they official? If not they need to go.
I agree that given “bring me the biggest” characters in the games, Pokédex listings are probably averages, but still there is a certain level of deviation that goes beyond reasonable expectation( if the average adult male human is, say, 5'9", we still consider a foot less, 4'10", very short, and a foot more, 6'10", very tall). --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 04:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

== What about the manga? ==

[[Pokémon Adventures| Adventures]] seems to have a lot of gigantic and miniature Pokémon; is this notable enough to get a page? Or should we just simply make a single "Pokémon size discrepancies" page with discrepancies from various Pokémon media, such as the manga AND anime? - [[User:050294|050294]] 14:08, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

:Quite a bit of research would be needed. Granted, there'll be unexplained size discrepancies in just about any adaptation of the franchise, but if the various mangas have enough of them, then a whole page for just those discrepancies would not be a bad idea...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Wailord ==

Wailord are supposed to be 47 feet tall, even if that is only the average than everything close to that would be incredibly large. In the anime episode, leading a stray, they aren't very tall at all. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 06:54, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
:For serpent or fish-like Pokémon, the height often refers to the length instead. So while that Wailord certainly doesn't tower over buildings and whatnot, I'm pretty sure it was the right size. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
They didn't seem very long either... [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 01:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

== Slowking ==

In the games, Slowking is 6'07", taller than the player character in HGSS (4'11"). I don't remember exactly, but I think Slowking in The Power of One was much shorter than that. -- [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 14:41, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

== Torkoal ==

In the games, Torkoal is a foot and eight inches, but Ash's Torkoal looks like it's 4 feet and eight inches..... just saying..... [[User:Cyndaquil155|Cyndaquil155]] 02:56, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Palpitoad? ==

I thought Palpitoad's size was wibbley wobbley, llie Seviper and Togekiss's? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 22:02, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

==Ash's height==
Several place in this article we assume that ash is about five feet tall. This seems very unlikely given that the average height of a ten year old boy is around four foot three. And given that this is incorrect it would change what we believe is the height of several Pokemon in the anime please just give some feedback.[[User:Leaf494||Pool501]] 19:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

There's another Shinji in the Pokémon Anime. He's the Hitmonlee Trainer from Legend Of Raikou movie. He was unnamed in English Version. Should there be a disambiguation? And it's pretty possible that Hitmonlee Shinji's dub name is Sean because Chronicles characters's names are taken from the trainers from GSC and there is Cooltrainer named Shinji in the game, and his name Sean in English Version. The same rule was used for Kenta/Jimmy, Jun'ichi/Vincent, Takumi/Jared, Tsuyoshi/Corey and every other character from Chronicles who shared the name with trainer in GSC (except Tsutomu/Georgio, for some reason). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:It makes sense, but I'm against it. Recently, [[May]] was turned into a disambig page. I've since been going through every article linking to the correct one. I suppose with Shinji it wouldn't be that big of a deal, since he hasn't been in that many episodes, but it's such a time-consuming task to do that. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

== Graveler ==

We never saw Paul release it from a Pokéball or catch it...so isn't it possible it was a WILD Graveler? So I don't think it should even be here. Unlike Ninjask, we saw him catch it in a Pokéball...so the two are vastly different. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Electabuzz and Ursaring ==

Why does it say that Electabuzz and Ursaring are in "status unknown"? In Lost leader strategy, Reggie told Ash that Paul lets him breed some of his pokemon till Paul needs them in a battle or something. Is it possible, that Electabuzz and Ursaring are at home, but can be called upon at any time (like Ash's Sqirte and Charizard)?--[[User:Tomas|Tomas]] 17:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== We're gonna have to change the "On Hand" section again... ==

After watching the DP128 preview, it is clear that Paul uses Hariyama, Magmar, Electabuzz, Nidoking and Ursaring in battle against Brandon. I don't think he would get rid of Torterra, but we're gonna have to move Gliscor, Weavile and Honchkrow to the "Status Unknown" section.

== Page for Magmar? ==

Isn't it about damn time Paul's Magmar gets a page? Seriously, how many times does it have to appear to get its own page? It appeared in DP066 defeating Maylene's Lucario, it appeared in DP100, it will appear in DP128 fighting against Brandon's Registeel, and according to the latest Bulbanews item, it will even evolve and fight against Ash. That's more than Gliscor and Weavile ever did, and yet they do have pages and Magmar doesn't. [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 18:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:::: Even if it was a different Magmar, why would there be more than one article? I mean the only reason would be if hypothetically Tauros gets an evolution, and one of Ash's Tauros evolves, the Tauros article would remain but a new article would be created for the new evolution.

:::::Yeah, and maybe Paul's using a new Torterra because his old one lost to Cynthia's Garchomp. I think that you're just speculating too far. Also, it's going to be a Magmortar by [[DP131]], so we might as well give it a page then. -- [[User:ElectricArbok|ElectricArbok]]

==Pokémon Order==

==Changing "On Hand" to "Rotated in Team"==

:The preferred format for anime images is PNG. That's why the unsatisfactory tag is up.

== Generation II ==
The instance about the majority of Paul's pokemon being related to generation 2 has a mistake, because his magmar is already a magmortar, it should go like this:

"The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an evolution family related to Generation II.
* Ursaring was introduced in Generation II.
* Honchkrow, Weavile, Gliscor and Magmortar are Generation IV Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II
*:Pokémon (Murkrow, Sneasel and Gligar, respectively; In the case of Magmortar, its [[Magby|base form]] is from generation II).
* Electabuzz was introduced in Generation I, but evolve from a [[Elekid|Generation II Pokémon.]]"

== Paul's Weavile ==

I'd be happy, no, wait, thrilled, to make Paul's Weavile a page. I think that it's notable enough to get one, having appeared in four episodes, almost as many as Magmortar or Honchkrow.

== Drapion ==

Ok, so now we know that both reggie and paul each have a drapion, i know that it could be the same blah blah blah, but it would be a nice piece of trivia that despite reggie's drapion failed to defeat brandon in the past, and that paul judges his pokemon by it's strenght, it could be hipocritical (does this word even exist?) that paul uses one in the conference, right?
:Not really, considering how he had many Pokemon lose to Cynthia and Brandon and he didn't release them (although we dont know about Hariyama and Nidoking for sure).

Is it notable that Paul has been defeated onscreen only 3 times, and all 3 times he had 3 of his Pokemon debut?

== Possible connection to Lake Verity ==

I know this is already mentioned in the trivia that Paul shares his Japanese name (Shinji) with that of Lake Verity (Shinji lake), but would it be worth mentioning that his somewhat unemotional and rude behavior is the complete opposite of what his name (and Lake Verity) stands for? Or maybe not..... But yeah Lake Verity is centered around faith and emotions, and even though Paul's Japanese name means "faith" he doesn't seem anything of the sort given his rude and seemingly emotionless behavior. (Maybe he touched Mesprit and it drained Paul's emotions!) Kidding! But his name definately may have a connection to Lake Verity, even though his behavior states otherwise. Worth mentioning or not? --[[User:Brats817|Brats817]] 10:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
Having both progressed through the initial rounds of the [[Suzuran Conference]], it's finally time for Ash and Paul's long awaited league battle. With {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Barry}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} (acting as cheerleader) watching from the stands, [[Team Rocket]] selling snacks to the audience and [[Champion]] [[Cynthia]] and [[Charles Goodshow]] observing too, both competitors are brought into the main stadium where they will conduct a [[full battle]] to decide who get through to the semi-finals. Ash decides to begin with {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Paul sends out his first Pokémon, {{TP|Paul|Aggron}}. The two trainers face off, both aiming to settle their long-standing [[rival]]ry once and for all...

=====A few hours earlier...=====

Preparing for his battle against Paul, Ash is getting in some last-minute training alongside {{AP|Gliscor}}, which has recently return for its training with [[McCann]] the Air Master. Gliscor practices {{m|Giga Impact}} in a session with Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} while {{an|Barry}} watches from Ash's side. After commending his Pokémon on how much its improved since being left for training, Ash reflects on his [[DP131|past]] [[DP132|battle]] with Paul, on how badly he lost and how much he's hoped to have improved. Inside the [[Pokémon Center]], Dawn preps Piplup and gives him his new cheering uniform. Meanwhile, Paul talks to [[Reggie]] about his upcoming battle with Ash. Paul discovers Dawn eavesdropping and Paul confesses his main problem with Ash... his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Dawn points out to Paul that just as Reggie is Reggie, Ash is Ash and does things his own way. Everyone soon meets outside, and Paul makes Ash promise to give him a good battle to which Ash agrees...

=====Back to the battle...=====

Paul begins by having Aggron use {{m|Metal Claw}}, and Ash has Pikachu counter with {{m|Iron Tail}} and the two {{type2|Steel}} moves impact canceling each other out. Paul then tells Aggron to use {{m|Metal Sound}}. A high-pitched noise is produced from Aggron's horns which causes pain to Pikachu. In the stands, {{MTR}} is also affected and can barely move, leading Jessie and James to cheer for Ash in order to make sure no-one notices Meowth. Piplup is also affected by the attack as Brock explains that Metal Sound lowers a Pokémon's defense. Ash instructs Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to stop Aggron's attack, and Pikachu manages to pull it off, stopping Aggron as well as causing a little damage. Pikachu is then told to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Pikachu speeds towards Aggron ready to strike with the powerful move. Paul counters with Aggron's {{m|Flash Cannon}}, hitting Pikachu and sending him flying. Ash knows Pikachu is struggling and decides to call him to save for later and substitutes with {{AP|Infernape}}. Cynthia recognizes Infernape as the {{p|Chimchar}} she [[DP040|once battled]] while Team Rocket are excited to see Infernape battle, having had a soft spot for it since the [[Tag Battle Tournament]]. Paul tells Aggron to use {{m|Double-Edge}} while Ash tells Infernape to counter with {{m|Flare Blitz}}. The two powerful and dangerous attacks collide. The two are sent backwards, and Infernape suffers from the [[recoil]]. Unfortunately, Aggron has the {{a|Rock Head}} ability which cancels out the normal recoil from Double-Edge... but luckily for Ash, it turns out that Aggron has suffered {{DL|Status|Burn|burns}} from Flare Blitz. Ash then instructs Infernape to use {{m|Mach Punch}}, and Paul instructs Aggron to use Flash Cannon, but Infernape lands Mach Punch before Aggron could counter punch. The hit is hard, Aggron is send flying and when the smoke clears from its landing, it is [[fainting|unable to battle]], giving Ash the lead.

Paul then sends out his {{TP|Paul|Gastrodon}} and Ash calls back Infernape and sends out {{AP|Staraptor}}. Gastrodon begins with {{m|Muddy Water}} and Staraptor uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and lands the attack; Gastrodon continues using Muddy Water, and clips Staraptor using an attack style that Ash has used countless times on Paul in the past. Ash instructs Staraptor to dive down and use  Aerial Ace again, and Gastrodon counter-attacks with {{m|Body Slam}}, trapping Staraptor. Gastrodon then uses {{m|Water Pulse}} and shoots it to the sky then comes down with more power, and when all seems lost, Staraptor uses {{m|Close Combat}} on the ground, lifting him up and escaping the Water Pulse. Paul instructs Gastrodon to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, bringing the in-flight Staraptor to a screeching halt and a meeting with good ol' earth. Ash calls back Staraptor and sends out {{AP|Buizel}}. Gastrodon uses Ice Beam again and Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}, and becomes frozen in the move, but uses the now Ice Aqua Jet to hit Gastrodon. Gastrodon then uses Body Slam, and Ash thinks quickly and instructs Buizel to use {{m|Ice Punch}}, causing Gastrodon to faint.

Paul sends out {{TP|Paul|Drapion}} and attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, and Buizel counter-attacks with its [[Counter Shield]] technique, Buizel's defense with Water Gun while spinning. Drapion then uses {{m|Cross Poison}}, which Buizel dodges by sliding behind Drapion. Buizel then uses {{m|SonicBoom}} from behind Drapion, who blocks the attack. Drapion grabs Buizel with its tail, ending this segment of the battle.

==Characteristics==
The Fire type has its pros and cons defensively. {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, and Water moves are all very common, while most of the Fire type's resistances are of little use. Fire-type Pokémon will not survive too long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a glass cannon; a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile. The biggest flaw Fire-types had before [[Generation V]] was that no Pokémon of the type had a {{t|Water}} resistant subtype leaving them all vulnerable to Water-type moves. This problem will soon be eradicated with the introduction of {{p|Reshiram}}, a {{t|Dragon}}/Fire Pokémon.

However, not only does Fire have five resistances, among them being a key resistance to the powerful Ice, but its also immune to the Burn condition making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers. Also, most Fire types can at least learn {{m|SolarBeam}} to counter all three of the type's weaknesses.

Offensively, Fire is very powerful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more. While Fire is resisted by only four types, two types are are hindered by {{t|Rock|their own bad special defenses}} and {{t|Dragon| relative scarcity}} therefore keeping their moves rather valuable. While Fire is not very effective against Rock and Dragon-types, many fire attacks can burn, therefore halving their attack. Fire types often have below average defense stats, but high speed, and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon. Fire is super effective against four types; only Ground and Fighting surpasses it. It ties with Ice and Rock , even though double weaknesses to Ice and Rock are slightly more common. However, Fire is the only type that can cause quintuple damage.

Quantity-wise, Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among the total amount of 35, of which there are five [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] and five [[starter Pokémon]]. Technically, this means that only nine Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto Pokédex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time). When used in contests, Fire-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Tough Contest|Tough]] or [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves.

==Trivia==
* Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't Beauty moves were newly introduced in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in [[Generation III]], all Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* In the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* {{p|Torkoal}} is the only non-legendary Fire-type not related by evolution to another Pokémon.
* All Fire-type Pokémon (other than {{p|Reshiram}}) have yellow, orange, or red color somewhere on their body.
** {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Houndoom}} are the only two Fire-types that are not categorized by the Pokédex as [[List of Pokémon by color#Red|Red]], [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|Yellow]], or [[List of Pokémon by color#Brown|Brown]] (both being categorized as [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|Black]]).
* Every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* Of all [[status move]]s, the second least common type among them is the Fire-type, tied with {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s.
* {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-types in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the {{p|Infernape|final}} {{p|Rapidash|forms}} of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex to include the {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}} families.
* {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}} are the only Fire-type Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] makes males rarer than females.
* {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Victini}} are the only Pokémon with Fire as a secondary type.
* In the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]], the Fire type has been represented by the color orange. However, in most other Pokémon media, the Fire type has been associated with the color red, including the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], [[Pokémon Stadium]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]. Ironically, one [[Generation III]] game is titled [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed]], despite being represented by the color orange in the in-game universe. Also, many orange-colored Pokémon (especially Fire-types) are placed in the [[List of Pokémon by color#Red|Red]] color category, as no orange category exists.
** Also, the [[Cool Contest|Cool]] attribute uses a similar shade of orange that represents the Fire type, despite being described as red in-text. Strangely, no Fire-type moves are Cool moves.
* Until [[Generation V]], every Fire-type Pokémon was weak against Water, being the only type that had one weakness shared among all Pokémon of that type. {{p|Reshiram}}, due to being a Dragon-type as well, nullifies Fire's weakness, making it currently the only Fire-type not weak to Water.
* With 5 resistances, the Fire type has the second most resistances of all types, falling 6 short of the Steel-type's 11 resistances.
* The Magby evolutionary line is the only three-stage Fire-type line, excluding the starter Pokémon families.
* So far, [[Generation III]] is the only generation not to have introduced at least one Fire-type legendary Pokémon.
* The version mascot of every primary version, with the exception of {{game|Ruby}} and {{game|Diamond}}, is a Fire-type Pokémon.
** {{p|Groudon}}, the version mascot of Ruby, however, can use a variety of Fire-type moves, probably due to its {{a|Drought}} ability, which has the same effect as {{m|Sunny Day}}, boosting the power of Fire-type moves.
*There are no Fire-types with a ''resistant'' subtype to Ground. However, there are {{p|Charizard|three}} {{p|Moltres|of}} {{p|Ho-Oh|them}} ''immune'' by being Half Flying type.
*Fire is unique in that it is the only type able to deal more than double super effective damage. This is possible due to the {{p|Paras|Paras}} {{p|Parasect|family}}'s double weakness to fire paired with their ability, [[Dry Skin]], which multiplies fire damage by 1.25, effectively making them take quintuple damage from Fire moves.
*Its Japanese name, Honō, literally means flame, rather than fire.
*Of every fire type pokemon Victini has the most weakness with five different types.

Hoenn Route 111

[[File:Thedesertruins.JPG|200px|thumb|right|The [[Desert Ruins]]]]
[[File:Route111rs.png|thumb|right|Route 111 in Ruby Sapphire]]
'''Route 111''' is a lengthy north-south route located in central [[Hoenn]]. Its northern terminus is at {{rt|113|Hoenn}} near [[Mount Chimney]] and its southern terminus is in [[Mauville City]]. The route itself covers many different climates, transitioning seamlessly from forest at its southern point to desert and, later, mountains.

==Route description==
===Northern segment===
After departing Route 113, Route 111 maintains the east-west alignment of Route 113 for a short length before turning south near a pair of [[loamy soil]] patches. In this area, trainers can receive a [[Razz Berry]] from a girl, battle [[Ace Trainer|Cool Trainer]] Brooke, the first of 12 trainers along this route, and heal their party at a location known as the Old Lady's Rest Stop. The old lady, however, will continually ask the player if he/she wants to take another rest, so in order to leave, the player must answer "no" when she asks. To the north of the rest stop, there is a [[Mach Bike]] ledge, the first of two along Route 111 that allows access to an upper cliff.

Heading south and, likewise, downhill on the lower portion of the route, the next point of interest is a boy located near a large tree. By talking to him, trainers will receive {{TM|43|Secret Power}}. Continuing along, Route 111 intersects the northern terminus of {{rt|112|Hoenn}} just to the southwest of the large tree. Cool Trainer Wilton is also located at this junction. From here, trainers can turn west onto Route 112 towards the [[Fiery Path]] or, if they have the [[Go-Goggles]], continue south into the desert.

===Desert===
In the desert, there are no five sets of Trainers in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and nine in {{game|Emerald}}, that are waiting to battle, with most of them using Pokémon accustomed to the [[Weather conditions#Sandstorm|desert conditions]], such as {{p|Sandslash}}. Along the most straight-forward path between the termini of Route 112 at either end of the desert, there are no notable items in Ruby and Sapphire. However, by venturing into the Pokémon-infested sand of the desert, trainers can reach the other Mach Bike path at the north end of the desert, as well as access the [[Desert Ruins]].

In Ruby and Sapphire, the northeast corner of the desert is home to a pair of rare fossils: the [[Root Fossil]] and the [[Claw Fossil]]. Trainers can take one of the two to be resurrected; however, the one that is not chosen will sink into the desert and will be lost forever. But, in Emerald, the [[Mirage Tower]] occasionally appears northeast of the southern terminus of Route 112. At the top the player can choose one of two fossils. When taken, the tower will collapse and the other fossil will sink in the sand (like the previous games), but can be recovered [[Desert Underpass|later in the game]].

At the southern end of the main path through the desert is the southern end of Route 112, as well as another Trainer. To the far south of this area, the route takes on a forested appearance as it begins to snake to the southeast. Along the way, Trainers can battle the news team of [[Gabby and Ty]], who make occasional appearances on Route 111 as well as [[Hoenn Route 118|Routes 118]] and {{rtn|120|Hoenn}}. To the southeast of the duo is a blockade of crumbling rocks that can be eliminated using {{m|Rock Smash}}.

===Southern segment===
South of the blockade, the route returns to a north-south alignment as it passes the only water area along the route. On the shore of the pond is the [[Winstrate Family]] house. At this location, trainers are put to the test, being forced to battle all four members of the family back-to-back with no reprieve in between to restore the vitality of their Pokémon. The player faces the four in the following order: Victor, Victoria, Vivi, and Vicky. When a trainer completes the task and defeats the family, they are given a [[Macho Brace]] by Victoria Winstrate.

Directly east of the Winstrate house in Emerald is [[Trainer Hill]], a complex designed to test the mettle of trainers from around Hoenn.

South of this location, the route travels south before curving to the west and returning to the south as it enters downtown Mauville.

==Trivia==
*Route 111 is, for all intents and purposes, an exact mirror of {{rt|119|Hoenn}}: its climate, situation, weather effects and wild Pokémon are all the reverse of Route 119's.
*The music of [[The Underground]] in [[Sinnoh]] is a remix of Route 111's music.

== Another Shinji ==

There's another Shinji in the Pokémon Anime. He's the Hitmonlee Trainer from Legend Of Raikou movie. He was unnamed in English Version. Should there be a disambiguation? And it's pretty possible that Hitmonlee Shinji's dub name is Sean because Chronicles characters's names are taken from the trainers from GSC and there is Cooltrainer named Shinji in the game, and his name Sean in English Version. The same rule was used for Kenta/Jimmy, Jun'ichi/Vincent, Takumi/Jared, Tsuyoshi/Corey and every other character from Chronicles who shared the name with trainer in GSC (except Tsutomu/Georgio, for some reason). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:It makes sense, but I'm against it. Recently, [[May]] was turned into a disambig page. I've since been going through every article linking to the correct one. I suppose with Shinji it wouldn't be that big of a deal, since he hasn't been in that many episodes, but it's such a time-consuming task to do that. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

::So if it is to be done, do it now rather than having a harder job later.
::There's also Lake Shinji/Trust. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 20:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Maybe better to wait for English DP. When English DP game and anime is released, all things and character will get own English named and disambig won't be needed anymore. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

::::I agree. By the time the English DP comes out, the Japanese names won't really matter anymore. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 20:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, now with [[Shinji Miyazaki]], shouldn't there be a disambig like there is with [[Satoshi]]? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:Well, wait until Shinji's US name is revealed. When it'll be, the disambiguation won't be needed anymore. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::But Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name, and [[Shigeru]] is Gary's... --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 20:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

== Graveler ==

We never saw Paul release it from a Pokéball or catch it...so isn't it possible it was a WILD Graveler? So I don't think it should even be here. Unlike Ninjask, we saw him catch it in a Pokéball...so the two are vastly different. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Okay, with the team already! ==

DP118 has aired already, and the only Pokémon in it was his Honchkrow. Can we just make a section like [[May (anime)|May's]] page and list the most recent roster of Pokemon? -- [[User:ElectricArbok|ElectricArbok]], 23:39, 20 March 2009
:Not really needed. That note on May's team is because we don't know which of the seven she actually had with her. With Paul, we have five and that's ok. It's just assumed that he keeps the same as last time. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 01:18, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

is it true that Paul has a Hariyama.. well basically based on DP120...[[User talk:Gaspershut|just gasper]]

== Electabuzz and Ursaring ==

Why does it say that Electabuzz and Ursaring are in "status unknown"? In Lost leader strategy, Reggie told Ash that Paul lets him breed some of his pokemon till Paul needs them in a battle or something. Is it possible, that Electabuzz and Ursaring are at home, but can be called upon at any time (like Ash's Sqirte and Charizard)?--[[User:Tomas|Tomas]] 17:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== We're gonna have to change the "On Hand" section again... ==

After watching the DP128 preview, it is clear that Paul uses Hariyama, Magmar, Electabuzz, Nidoking and Ursaring in battle against Brandon. I don't think he would get rid of Torterra, but we're gonna have to move Gliscor, Weavile and Honchkrow to the "Status Unknown" section.

:::Yeah, in the DP128 preview there is a Nidoking attacking Brandon's Registeel. 99% sure it is Pauls Nidoking. [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 17:03, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
:::: well I say yes to Dilophosaurus Rex that Paul has a Nidoking it is very clear in the preview and for sure that Paul uses it cause no one is fighting at Brandon except Paul right???? --[[User:Gaspershut|''GASPER'']][[User talk:Gaspershut|''shut...'']] 11:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, since Hariyama is already shown as on hand shouldn't the list be updated with Electabuzz and Ursaring. You can't show one Pokémon being on hand based on a preview and not the other two... [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 18:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
: Also the whole Status "Unknown" seems too weird for me. I mean really Torterra? Almost sounds like he may have released, even if that's not what the status unknown means. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 12:25, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

== Page for Magmar? ==

Isn't it about damn time Paul's Magmar gets a page? Seriously, how many times does it have to appear to get its own page? It appeared in DP066 defeating Maylene's Lucario, it appeared in DP100, it will appear in DP128 fighting against Brandon's Registeel, and according to the latest Bulbanews item, it will even evolve and fight against Ash. That's more than Gliscor and Weavile ever did, and yet they do have pages and Magmar doesn't. [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 18:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:::And when it does, we'll do the page. It still isn't confirmed it's the same Pokémon yet. He could have just captured it because it was stronger than Magmar. Wait til it airs. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 05:30, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
:::: Even if it was a different Magmar, why would there be more than one article? I mean the only reason would be if hypothetically Tauros gets an evolution, and one of Ash's Tauros evolves, the Tauros article would remain but a new article would be created for the new evolution. Of course this isn't the case with Paul, it's highly unlikely Paul has more than a few Magmar. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 12:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, and maybe Paul's using a new Torterra because his old one lost to Cynthia's Garchomp. I think that you're just speculating too far. Also, it's going to be a Magmortar by [[DP131]], so we might as well give it a page then. -- [[User:ElectricArbok|ElectricArbok]]

==Pokémon Order==

Considering that Paul rotates his main team between 7 pokémon, meaning that at least one of them is always under status unknown, shouldn't those ones be kept up under his on hand pokémon? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

==Changing "On Hand" to "Rotated in Team"==

Personally, I think we do what Serebii did, and change On Hand to Rotated in Team. Honestly, if Torterra isn't on his team, are we just gonna assume that he could have released it? I just can't see him releasing anyone else. What do you guys think? [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]

:The preferred format for anime images is PNG. That's why the unsatisfactory tag is up.

:However, it's best advised to take fresh PNGs rather than convert existing JPEGs.

== Generation II ==
The instance about the majority of Paul's pokemon being related to generation 2 has a mistake, because his magmar is already a magmortar, it should go like this:

"The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an evolution family related to Generation II.
* Ursaring was introduced in Generation II.
* Honchkrow, Weavile, Gliscor and Magmortar are Generation IV Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II
*:Pokémon (Murkrow, Sneasel and Gligar, respectively; In the case of Magmortar, its [[Magby|base form]] is from generation II).
* Electabuzz was introduced in Generation I, but evolve from a [[Elekid|Generation II Pokémon.]]"

Or something like that [[User:Luord|Luord]] 23:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

== Paul's Weavile ==

I'd be happy, no, wait, thrilled, to make Paul's Weavile a page. I think that it's notable enough to get one, having appeared in four episodes, almost as many as Magmortar or Honchkrow.

no thats speculation ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC))

Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 16:02, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

because we know the pokemon paul will use durring the battle should his electivire be moved to on hand instead of at home.

The only reason that might not be the case is that Gastrodonta are land snails while Gastrodon is very obviously a water snail. --[[User:Mamthew42|Mamthew42]] 21:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
==Third Eye?==
How can we be certain that the dark whet circle with a dark border in the middle of its forehead is actually an eye and not just part of its body?

Does Gastrodon have 3 eyes, thought it was just 2, like the majority of pokemon except Staryu, Starmie, Dusclops, Dusknoir etc... In the case of Doduo, Dodrio and Dugtrio, they have 2 eyes to each head? Just wondering btw...[[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 17:18, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
The second sentence in its its physiology section says it does although it is minor I don't think usumptions like that should be made.

Uh... I think Gastrodon and Shellos from east sea are pure water, not water ground. Someone should look into this.
:Nope. East, west, both Gastrodon are Water/Ground. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 20:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The picture for Gastrodon is pretty pathetic atm, can anyone put in a crisp, not blurry version?--[[User:Madheroesfan|Madheroesfan]] 04:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

==East Sea Gastrodon in the anime==
Would it be worth noting that East Sea Gastrodon is the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon (with the obviously exception of {{p|Porygon-Z}}) that has yet to make any kind of appearance in the anime (as all the others have appeared in the series and/or movies)?
